A Non-Jewish Surrogate Gave Birth To My Son, And Then We Held a Conversion Ceremony
Thanks to a New York Times article, there was quite a bit of discussion last week about whether a baby conceived with a non-Jewish egg donor but carried and raised by a Jewish women is considered Jewish. And here on Kveller, Jordana Horn eloquently proposed that rather than question the identity of such a baby, we should embrace this child into Jewish life, with which I wholeheartedly agree. As long as any child or family considers itself Jewish and lives accordingly, should it matter what a small group of Rabbis declares is that child's identity? No, of course not.
That said, two weeks ago my husband and I took our four-year-old son to the mikveh to complete his conversion.
Our younger son S. was born through gestational surrogacy. He is 100% biologically our child but was carried by another women, in our case a non-Jewish woman.
My husband and I have no doubt S. is Jewish. Neither does S. He sang the Ma Nishtanah at our Seder, sings Shalom Aleichem each Shabbat, and will spontaneously burst into Adon Olam, to the tune of Call Me Maybe, while playing with Legos. But because of the circumstances of his birth, there are those who might question whether S. is indeed Jewish. Read the rest of this entry →

Despite struggles, McIlroy offers no excuses
Want to track your favorite player on Sunday? Here are the pairings and tee times.
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - The final touches complete on a third-round 74 at the 93rd PGA Championship, Rory McIlroy strode past superagent Chubby Chandler on his way to the scoring trailer.
"How's it feel?" asked Chandler, inquiring about McIlroy's strained right wrist.
McIlroy stopped, looked at Chandler and broke into a grin. "I wish it were worse," he said. "Then I'd have an excuse."
McIlroy never got much going on Saturday, and gone were any outside chances of playing his way back into the championship. He's at 7-over 217 through three rounds at Atlanta Athletic Club's Highlands Course. He said the wrist felt better, especially with the driver, but shaping shots has been a bit of a challenge.
"It's when I start to hit iron shots where it becomes difficult," he said.
McIlroy also continued to struggle with the putter, as he has all week. He used 19 putts in his opening nine of 40.
"You know, it shouldn't affect it," McIlroy said of the wrist affecting his putting. "I mean, I don't want to make any excuses, because I just haven't played good enough."
McIlroy has one goal for Sunday: to shoot under par for the first time this week. Then he has two weeks off before a scheduled start in Switzerland, at the Omega European Masters. If all goes as planned next year, he'll be spending this time gearing up for the FedEx Cup playoffs as a member of the PGA Tour.

A large pool of blood in the middle of the street — congealed, dried and frozen — was all that was left at the scene of a Wednesday morning shooting in the 6900 block of South Marshfield when reporters arrived for a press conference called by mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun.
I didn't notice the blood at first, not until a guy accidentally walked through it and everybody yelled at him. That's when I finally realized all the cameras were set up to point in the direction of the blood, with the microphone stand in the foreground, so that Braun could use the grisly scene as a backdrop.
If there had ever been any doubt as to why Braun had summoned us to this West Englewood location on short notice, the pool of blood erased any doubt. We were there on a dare, unstated but also unmistakable.
Braun was daring us to ask her questions about her income tax returns and personal financial problems when weightier issues of life and death were staring us right in the face.
It's an old political manuever. Rod Blagojevich used it a lot, especially in those months before his arrest. He'd call a press conference on some issue of legitimate public importance, with members of the affected interest group arrayed around him, daring the reporters he'd been dodging for weeks to change the subject by asking about the federal investigation bearing down on him.
In this case, Braun had only avoided the press for barely two days after arousing a swarm of interest with her refusal Monday to release her tax returns, followed by her reversal Tuesday when she made public portions of the returns without any substantive explanation for the bleak picture they painted of her finances.
So when an advisory went out that Braun would speak out against a shooting that had occurred that morning at this corner "where three young men were gunned down," all media outlets hurried to the scene.
Braun was all business when she arrived and stepped gravely to the microphones, surrounded by a group of sober-faced men.
"The level of violence and murder in Chicago is completely unacceptable," she said. "The crime statistics that the superintendent and the police department published last week, trying to convince us that murders are down in Chicago, are misleading. The level of violence has not decreased. The number of drive-by shootings, and the amount of random violence has not decreased. What has happened is that the technology is better. Technology from our wars is keeping some of these young people alive while they otherwise might have died. With this shooting today, I'm told one young man has died and the others are in different conditions. We send our condolences to the mother and the families of the young men who have died."
"As mayor," Braun concluded, "I will not tolerate this type of conduct."
Well, she got part of it right. The level of violence and murder in Chicago IS completely unacceptable. Nobody has said otherwise.
As to this particular shooting, however, Braun's information was a bit suspect.
According to police, two boys were shot at the location, not three, and more importantly, nobody had died as a result, although one of them was said to be critically wounded. The medical examiner's office confirmed it had not been notified of a death, so either Braun is really on the cutting edge of this murder statistic cover-up by police, or she got her facts wrong.
Her campaign never responded to my request for clarification as to the identity of the victim, which is one reason I strongly believe the latter explanation.
Mistakes happen. Even without a death, the blood alone was enough to convince anyone this was the scene of a serious crime.
What's less easy to overlook is Braun's reckless suggestion that crime statistics showing murder to be down are misleading.
The numbers are the numbers. Homicides were down more than 5 percent last year, falling to 435 from 460 in 2009. It was the city's lowest homicide total since 1965.
As Police Supt. Jody Weis told our Frank Main in response to Braun, "Individuals are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to a separate set of facts."
Braun's comments feed into a mind-set in some parts of our city that the police are fudging the statistics, which is irresponsible for a candidate for mayor without facts. As far as medical technology, it was pointed out murders were up in New York, where doctors presumably have access to technology, too.
On her financial woes, reporters finally took Braun's dare. It probably won't surprise you she didn't want to talk about it.
"There's a kid laying up dead," she said. "Come on guys, be responsible yourselves."

IXI Services Launches AudienceIntel, Providing Online Advertisers With Real-time Insights Into Audience Financial Metrics
IXI Services, a division of Equifax, today launched AudienceIntel™, an online advertising measurement tool that enables advertisers to better evaluate who is actually viewing and responding to their ads. The real-time interactive dashboard uses a variety of IXI Services' proprietary financial and economic measures to verify if ad impressions are reaching their optimal target audience.
AudienceIntel helps advertisers ensure they are allocating their spend on ads served to qualified consumers. By measuring audiences by estimated financial measures such as wealth, income and spending, advertisers can verify if the audience receiving an ad is a match for a brand and offer.
Advertisers can also use AudienceIntel's features to determine the value of specific delivery channels. If a publisher or media channel is under-delivering, it's easy to make data-driven budget reallocations to better performing sites. AudienceIntel's capabilities also extend to an advertiser's own site, allowing them to better understand the audience that is converting, and adjust their internal messaging and architecture if consumers abandon the conversion process. And for marketers offering multiple products this dashboard enables scrutiny of which consumers are attracted to different offerings.
"Research suggests that over half of advertisers' online display spending is wasted on unqualified prospects, but, as the saying goes, no one is certain which half," said Jeff Sporn, SVP & GM, Digital Solutions for IXI Services. "In the past, data has allowed us to do manual assessments, especially of offline marketing activity, but this real-time dashboard provides the financial and economic profile of the audience seeing an ad during a campaign, giving advertisers a very clear indication of whether or not they are hitting their target."AudienceIntel works across all targeting strategies and publishers and utilizes estimated household characteristics using anonymous, aggregated neighborhood level data. IXI Services' digital products do not incorporate or reveal any personally identifiable information.

|Designed to help make kiting progress as easy and as much fun as possible for the widest range of kiters, from absolute beginners to seasoned rippers and big-wave surfers, the Kahoona is a lower aspect-ratio, quad-strut delta.
The layout reduces aerodynamic drag for faster turning and more responsive handling as well as minimising weight for improved low-wind performance. The low aspect-ratio layout and strongly curved leading edge make the Kahoona the quickest relaunching kite Best have ever made. A new mini-VP2 bridle provides the equivalent depower and overall wind range of the Waroo, also maximising kite stability, making the Kahoona easier and safer to fly in high winds. A thin, stiff leading edge that angles back sharply towards the wing-tips gives excellent upwind ability and with a new Kahoona specific mini-fifth equipped control bar, maximum depower can be achieved every time you release the bar. The short bridles and no fifth line mean there is nothing to wrap around the kite should you roll it while relaunching. With its roots firmly in both C-kite and SLE kite design the Kahoona's delta design blends the best performance characteristics of both kite styles. For big-wave surfing The Kahoona can be stalled with no power in the kite and ridden 'down the line'.
If you want a 'park-it-to-surf' kite, this is it and because of its C kite DNA, the Kahoona has direct handling and delivers C kite style snap for overpowered jumping. Plus the SLE derived easy handling, auto relaunch and forgiving nature ensure that it allows beginners and experienced kiters alike to make the most of their water time, pushing their riding progression to the limit. The Kahoona will be shipping from March 2009. Who's got the biggest Kahoonas?

4. Increase of pore pressure above ambient value due to injection of fluids and decrease in pore pressure below ambient value due to extraction of fluids have the potential to produce seismic events. For such activities to cause these events, a certain combination of conditions has to exist simultaneously:
a. Significant change in net pore pressure in a reservoir
b. A preexisting near-critical state of stress along a fracture or fault that is determined by crustal stresses and the fracture or fault orientation
c. Fault rock properties supportive of a brittle failure
5. Independent capability exists for geomechanical modeling of pore pressure, temperature, and rock stress changes induced by injection and extraction and for modeling of earthquake sequences given knowledge of stress changes, pore pressure changes, and fault characteristics.
6. The range of scales over which significant responses arise in the Earth with respect to induced seismic events is very wide and challenges the ability of models to simulate and eventually predict observations from the field.
Research Recommendations
Data Collection—Field and Laboratory
1. Collect, categorize, and evaluate data on potential induced seismic events in the field. High-quality seismic data are central to this effort. Research should identify the key types of data to be collected and the data collection protocol.
2. Conduct research to establish the means of making in situ stress measurements nondestructively.
3. Conduct additional field research on microseismsa in natural fracture systems including field-scale observations of the very small events and their native fractures.
4. Conduct focused research on the effect of temperature variations on stressed jointed rock systems. Although of immediate relevance to geothermal energy projects, the results would benefit understanding of induced seismicity in other energy technologies.
5. Conduct research that might clarify the in situ links among injection rate, pressure, and event size.
1. Conduct research to address the gaps in current knowledge and availability of instrumentation: Such research would allow the geothermal industry, for example, to develop this domestic renewable source more effectively for electricity generation.
Hazard and Risk Assessment
1. Direct research to develop steps for hazard and risk assessment for single energy development projects (as described in Chapter 5, Table 5.2).

Linebacker Eric Oertel has no regrets about leaving Wisconsin to play for Washington State
Eric Oertel, a Wisconsin native, grew up wanting to play for the Badgers. In his third year at Washington State, the 213-pound linebacker says he couldn't be happier about playing for the Cougars.
Seattle Times colleges reporter
PULLMAN — Let's see: Wisconsin or Washington State?
One school goes to Rose Bowls, the other watches them on TV.
Badgers or Cougars? Eric Oertel could have stayed close to home, and probably spent his first two years of college at the same position. Here, he's half a continent away from his roots and he's been tossed from one spot to another like a pillow in the family room.
And you know what? His outlook couldn't be sunnier.
"I'm the happiest I've been playing football in a very, very long time," Oertel told me recently.
He looks it. Oertel (pronounced or-TELL) is an undersized (213 pounds) outside linebacker at WSU — a probable starter for the season opener at Brigham Young on Aug. 30 — but he's vocal and engaged. If leadership speaks to character, it figures that Oertel would be one of the noisy ones on the Cougars defense.
He came to WSU from Racine, Wis., via some reconnaissance on the part of former Cougars assistant coach Travis Niekamp, who had ties to Wisconsin. Oertel was lightly recruited, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some angst in his decision.
Father's Day one year, and Oertel and his dad were headed to a nearby town to visit Oertel's grandfather, who wasn't well. That weekend, Wisconsin had a football camp, and the Badgers — Oertel had always dreamed of playing for them — were putting the squeeze on him to attend the camp instead, with an implied promise that he'd be getting a scholarship offer.
They called and they called again. Oertel was a mess, trying to decide what to do. But the family commitment and the cost of the camp kept saying no. An assistant for the Badgers let him and his high-school coach know — "in a few choice words," Oertel says — that he was blowing it big-time.
"Their attitude was absolutely horrible," said Scott Smith, Oertel's coach at Racine Lutheran High. "I said, 'Quit calling me and don't treat a kid like that.' "
After WSU offered Oertel a ride, he says he began hearing from Wisconsin again.
"I honestly just wanted to get away from it," Oertel said. "Especially after I took my visit out here, I realized I loved it. I don't regret the decision I made at all, whatsoever. If I'd known this school would have been even close (to offering a scholarship), this would have been my dream school."
Oh, and there's a woman named Dawn back in Racine who can tell you a little about Oertel. He had a part-time job as a cashier at a supermarket there, and she was one of the regular shoppers.
"One day, real close to Christmas, she had this different look on her face," Oertel said. "She says, 'I have a favor to ask you.' "
She had a son, Drake, in middle school, and wanted to give Oertel $50 if he'd sign a football for him for Christmas, and then come and visit the boy on Christmas Day.
Oertel said he didn't think his parents would mind if he ducked out for an hour on Christmas. But he told her to keep the cash and buy her son something with it. So before he headed to his grandmother's for the day, he stopped off to see Dawn and Drake, who got a pullup bar with that money.
"It was really cool," said Oertel. "I like doing stuff like that. I still talk to him."
Oertel's first two years at WSU have hardly been storybook stuff. Paul Wulff's staff recruited him as an athlete, and Oertel told WSU his preference was running back. Throughout summer seven-on-seven workouts in 2010, he was a back, but when camp began, they switched him to linebacker.
Then right before spring ball in 2011, he went to running back. The new staff came in and saw him as a linebacker, so back he went. That was a fortuitous move, because the new coach, Mike Leach, would later boot two linebackers from the program.
As for his introduction to Leach, Oertel said, "I had a nice meeting with him. It was supposed to be about 10, 15 minutes. It ended up being an hour, because of all the interruptions he gets because of who he is.
"I love coach Leach. That's my boy."
So on a hot Palouse afternoon, Oertel greets his teammates before a scrimmage with sort of a primal whoop. It seemed to say he's landed in a good place.

Hi Guys
Rookie here so some level of sillyness will accompany this thread ;-).
I've lost about 20 lbs now (mainly cos of my HIT cardio+low cal intake). Still got 20-25 lbs to go before I reach my target around 180lbs.
The thing is I'm far from a solid build even after a month into this (with dedication). And my main prob is I hardly do any heavy lifting. My stamina on the treadmill has definitely gone up to a point where I can come home after work on 1200 cals and still do a 30min cardio.
Now when it comes to lifting (btw, I workout from home in my so called office gym), on most days, I hardly complete the full sets and cover up with more cardio. My main prob is I don't seem to have strength at the end of the day to do any heavy kinda lifting whatsoever :-(.
Is the strength weakness a sign of too low cal/protein intake during the day? Should I start taking a pre-workout meal or drink (I'm thinking maybe a shake of ground oatmeal, 1 scoop whey mixed in water??) ??
My fat loss has also grown harder where it takes a lot of dedication to even move the scale by a couple of pounds a week. I'm thinking maybe heavy lifting will offset this mixed with my strong cardio.
Right now, my diet is something like this:
-Breakfast ==> Plain Greek yogurt with cut apples+1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Coffee (black with 1 teaspoon creamer)
- 2 caps fish oil
10am==> One can of V8 vegie juice
Lunch ==> Fresh cut chicken slices with lettuce+cucumbers+spinach+teaspoon of olive oil
Dinner ==> Med sized bowl of Chic curry or lamb stew, curtesy of wife
- 1 scoop of whey mixed with tall glass of cold water with dinner
I throw in occasional mixed nuts or almonds during the day and drink 2-3 cups of green tea along with at least 50oz of water (with lemon slices).
I have 2 cheat meals in the weekend (consume my beloved rice and pasta for Sat night dinner and then pancake for breakfast). No cardio/exercise in the weekends.
Sorry for the long post...just wanted to give out all the facts beforehand.
Thanks and appreciated.

Cross Ranch Fellowship applications requested
Applications for the Robert H. Levis II Cross Ranch Fellowship are being accepted until May 11. The one-year award of approximately $3,800 will be given to a first- or second-year graduate student on the basis of academic record; commitment to botany, range management or a closely related aspect of natural resources management; and an interview with the faculty selection committee.
The fellowship is supported by an endowment that originated as a donation from Levis to the NDSU Development Foundation. It was later enhanced by a gift from the Gladys Allen Trust of St. Louis, given by Allen in memory of Levis, her late husband.
Located near the Missouri River west of Washburn, N.D., the well-known Cross Ranch was owned by the Levis family and is now managed by The Nature Conservancy as a significant natural area in western North Dakota.
The fellowship can be used as a stipend for the recipient or in support of graduate research expenses. Eligible students should write a letter of application, giving a concise description of their research and how receiving this fellowship would advance their research. A brief letter of support from the student's research adviser also should be sent to the committee.
Applications, recommendations and a copy of all pertinent transcripts, can be sent to Ted Esslinger, chair of the Cross Ranch Fellowship Selection Committee, NDSU Department of Biological Sciences, Stevens Hall 218.

Time is fast running out to save historic clipper ship The City of Adelaide from deconstruction. The Scottish Government's 'preferred bidder, Australian group, Clipper Ship City of Adelaide Limited (CSCoAL), is seemingly unable to demonstrate that it can provide the ship with a sustainable future, but HS and the SMM appear to be giving every assistance to CSCoAL to remove the ship by a deadline in March 2012.
It seems incredible that this historic ship, of recognised national and international historic value, currently in the collections of a nationally recognised museum, the oldest ship registered by National Historic ships UK as part of the 200-strong National Historic Fleet, and the only ship to enjoy a Category A listed building status in Scotland, is also to be found on the Scottish Buildings at Risk Register. If no reliable new custodian can be found SMM have permission to take it to pieces.
RESCUE: The British Archaeological Trust is concerned that there is a very real danger that this internationally important British heritage asset will be exported to Australia without any assurance that the substantial resources required to preserve it are available and that a change of location will simply duplicate the current unsatisfactory situation. It is not a solution to simply move the ship to another part of the world, where it may well be left to rot, and claim this as a reasonable outcome to an intransigent UK problem.
Please find below copies of our initial letter Fiona Hyslop, Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs, the response on her behalf from Historic Scotland, and our follow-up letter to the Scottish Maritime Museum.

As the second act in Ray Romano's TV career, Men of a Certain Age is the opposite of a midlife crisis: It's a midlife triumph, a series that takes a well-worn theme and makes it unpredictable, freshly funny, and sometimes moving.
The men of a certain age are Romano, as Joe, separated from his wife and owner of a party-supply store; Scott Bakula as Terry, a single, mostly unemployed actor whose laid-back manner can still charm twentysomething girls; and Andre Braugher as Owen, a tense, overworked car salesman whose dealership is owned by his imperious father.
Any one of these characters could slide easily into the clichés of a thousand movies or TV shows about middle-age craziness, but Romano, who co-created Men with one of his Everybody Loves Raymond producers, Mike Royce, manages to layer in the complexities while nurturing a tone of wry, sometimes raucous humor. It's an hour-long show that plays like a sitcom with depth, or a drama with quietly clever grace-notes.
The premiere is spent filling us in on who the guys are. We see these Los Angeles buddies trading bad-luck stories and genial jabs over diner lunches (what plugs the comfy Norms restaurant chain receives). We glimpse them at work, where each has hit a wall that's left him dissatisfied and itching for change. And we learn the chinks in their armor: Joe has a gambling habit (it's the pivotal reason for his separation); Terry feels self-loathing having to audition for TV-movie jobs he considers beneath him; Owen is cowed by his father/boss (a terrific gruff performance by Richard Gant).
The second episode really convinces you of Men's quality. The laughs are solid: When Joe and Owen witness Terry nuzzling with a much-younger waitress, Joe razzes him, ''Now you're gonna have to see all the Twilight movies.'' And the drama becomes intense: When Owen's wife (The Practice's Lisa Gay Hamilton) upbraids her father-in-law for publicly insulting Owen, the poor guy is just further humiliated.
The theme song for Men is the Beach Boys' ''When I Grow Up (To Be a Man).'' The music's propulsive melancholy suits the theme, even if the lyric doesn't these men are grown-ups; it's just that adulthood has turned out to be a bummer.
I worry a bit that what makes Men so interesting could also prevent it from being a success on TNT, home of female kick-butts (The Closer) and lightweight action dramas (Leverage). I suppose it's a better haven than any broadcast network would be for a subtle show like this, but I urge you to support Men anyway. These fascinatingly troubled guys need all the help they can get.

In my February column, I compared several Federal Reserve Bank presidents predictions for economic growth this year. Some were optimistic, such as Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, who both predicted around 3 percent growth. And some were more pessimistic, such as Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota and Kansas City Fed President Esther George, who forecast 2.5 percent and 2 percent, respectively.
Then there was Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart, who said 2013 could be a pivotal year. According to Lockhart, if fiscal policy successfully addressed the remaining issues and provided a multiyear roadmap toward fiscal health, those actions would help reduce the uncertainty and help the economic recovery significantly.
Unfortunately, the pessimists were right. Economic growth is expected to be around 2 percent for 2013. So, what do the Fed presidents think will happen in 2014? Several of them have offered opinions in recent speeches.
Among those optimistic about economic growth going into 2014 is Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker. In his speech he said, Earlier this year, I argued that annual GDP growth would likely be roughly 3 percent. I have since revised downward my estimate to roughly 2 percent. However, I still see room for optimism regarding our fundamental prospects, in contrast to some stagnationists, who see growth as becoming increasingly harder to achieve over time.
Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser is maintaining his optimistic view of the economy. Recently, he said he expects growth of about 3 percent in 2014 and unemployment rates near 7 percent by the end of this year or early next year and about 6.25 percent by the end of 2014. Inflation expectations will be relatively stable, and inflation will move up toward the FOMC target of 2 percent over the next year, he said.
Atlanta Fed President Lockhart was incorrect in that 2013 most certainly did not turn out to be a pivotal year. But most likely Lockhart was right that fiscal policy would play a large role in exactly how much and how quickly the economy improved. In a speech at a business and economic summit last month, he noted his concern regarding the fiscal drag that is weighing on the economy. Despite this, his outlook is fairly optimistic. Although he did not allude to 2014 or even 2015 being a pivotal year, Lockhart said he is assuming stronger economic activity next year a growth rate in the range of 2 1/2 to 3 percent.

Phantom Cellphone Vibrations!?
Have you ever had your phone on vibrate and you're somewhere minding your own business and your phone is hanging out in your pocket, and then you feel your phone vibrate…
You reach for it and, BAM…nothing.
Researchers are calling this new Phenomenon "phantom vibration syndrome" and "vibranxiety".
These "Phantom Vibrations" were felt by 68% of the people that took the survey, with 87% of those feeling them weekly, and 13% daily.
I'd fall more into the weekly category.
One scientist speculated that maybe it has to do with Electricity, saying:
"I expect it's related to some of the electrical signals coming through in a transmission, touching on the surrounding nerves, giving a feeling of a vibration,"
Whatever it is, it's just weird. I felt the need to blog about it today because it just happened to me last night!

The Glades Review: Eating Away at My Brainsby Jim Garner at . Comments
We started The Glades Season 4 off with a ghost, while this week "Apocalypse Now" brought us zombies; all we need now is some vampires and werewolves to run the full gambit of pop culture horror references.
Don't get me wrong; I love zombies as much as the next guy, (especially if the next guy is Brad Pitt in his new movie). But there were a few things about this episode that really pulled me out of the episode.
The biggest of these was Denny Warren, homeless zombie. When Jim found Denny he was grunting, groaning and moving like a zombie. Okay, maybe being high on bath salts will do that, I can't say as I'm not an expert in drugs that create zombie behavior.
But, given that Jim outsmarted him with a chain-link fence gate moments later, I find it very hard to believe that Zombie-Denny would have been able to roam into a park that covers more than six kilometers, find and then carry Bonnie's body out. Make no mistake, he had to carry it out or there would have been shopping cart tracks in the dirt where Jim, Carlos and Daniel were looking.
Looking past Zombie-Denny carrying Bonnie for a few miles when he could barely walk, we had all of the zombie chasers and runners on the 10K run who took pictures with the body. I would hate to think that not even one of them would have called the police to report the body. Sadly, in this day and age I can't rule out it happening, but it would still be upsetting.
And in case the body being found on a zombie run and it being of a woman who was a zombie fan wasn't enough zombieness for you; they threw in the obsessed guy, Nick, who also happens to be smart enough to create a non-lethal virus that mimics symptoms of being a zombie. Oh, and he had the cure of course.
I swear, Nick was so close to saying "And I would have gotten away with it, had not been for those meddling kids" that I was on the edge of my seat. Sadly (or thankfully) he didn't. He also never saw that what he was doing was wrong, which makes him a bit of a sociopath.
Hey Nick, when you're done in Florida, you might call Dr. Evil, I hear he has an opening for a mad scientist that you'd be perfect for.
Finally, to muddle the waters further, for no apparent reason, we had the trifecta of lost souls, Jessica, Bonnie and Mary. Given the surprises revealed at the end by Jim, had the episode just been about Bonnie/Mary's death and how Jessica didn't want to be revealed as having previously killed the real Bonnie, it would have been a really good hour.
Unfortunately, with the entire zombie Apocalypse bit going around, the murder plot just got lost in the shuffle. I didn't even catch that there was a third girl (Mary) right away. I had to rewind the episode back when Jim was explaining that Professor Plumb did it with the candlestick in the library to Jessica to hear him name Mary.
Overall, I'm beginning to suspect that I enjoyed Jim Longworth's quirky sense of humor when it was the only thing trying to be funny during an episode.
While interviewing with TV Fanatic, Carlos Gomez said there was going to be a lighter edge to the show this season and a bit more wackiness. Well, wackiness achieved! Can we rein it back in now and get down to some quality episodes?
In conclusion, I'm giving this episode 3 zombie brains for abusing my brain along the way. Here is hoping that July sees an improvement in the episode's stories.
What did you think? Was there too much going on? Should The Glade reduce the silliness?
Jim G. is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow him on Twitter.Tags: The Glades, Reviews
If I never see Jim eating again I'll be happy. I can't understand why the writers include so many scenes of Jim impudently eating other people's food while he's interrogating them in their homes or places of work. Is that some sort of bad boy TV detective formula behavior? At least I know a guaranteed way to avoid seeing any more of it.
I got lost a bit in the switched identity part of the ep. Then again I was more focused on the zombie virus outbreak side of the story. I guess that could mean there was a little too much going on in this ep. A little silliness doesn't bother me at all. The fact that I was amused by this review is proof of that. LOL! As long as it's not overdone, I don't think it'll take away from the quality of the show.
This wasn't one of my favorite episodes. Several things bugged me, not just that the actual resolution of the crime got lost in the shuffle of at least 3 other storylines. For one, would any detective be drinking tea and eating food prepared by a potential suspect, especially when the case also involves some mysterious outbreak? And for supposedly being bright and intuitive, why didn't Callie immediately realize that Jeff was responsible for damaging her car, when she comes in complaining of the damage and the first words out of Jeff's mouth were, "I thought insurance would take care of that?" Sigh. And why wouldn't Callie have told Jim in the first place that she didn't want the wedding on September 7 because that's when she met Ray? Jim would have understood that immediately.
This was a good episode! However sometimes they make the storylines super complicated and involved, it is hard to follow!
Like this one with the 3 girls, one killing one because she as smart, then one taking over the dead ones identity when she found out the other one killed her. I still am not sure why fake Bonnie took real Bonnies identity. I am glad that I was not the only one confused by that!
I love the humor, Jim eating and my weekly dose of Matt Passmore but I think they need to not try and make the stories more involved than they need to be. I appreciate the twists etc but some times a little more simple would be better.
Bicker bicker bicker. That is all Jim and Callie do. Over stupid stuff. I'm over this "great" love.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
Since the economic crisis broke out, capitalism has been under the microscope. Many have blamed evil businesses and market forces for the financial meltdown, and have lost confidence in private-sector engagement strategies for recovery. Luckily, in this country many more have experienced the positive impact of entrepreneurship either directly and indirectly. In a March 2009 survey, 63% of respondents said they "prefer giving individuals the incentives they need to start their own businesses as opposed to allowing the government to create new jobs directly." A look at the role of new businesses in the economy reveals that it is not a matter of rejecting capitalism but rather of allowing more entrepreneurs into the economy.
We have long argued that the American model for development assistance could improve dramatically if entrepreneurship becomes a stronger element of economic development efforts. Unfortunately, the importance of new firm creation is a concept that has yet to gain relevance in traditional development models, such as the Washington Consensus. However, there are a few actors who understand the power of entrepreneurship and have been using it to improve lives. Diaspora entrepreneurs are using their experience and understanding about entrepreneurship to invest in new ventures in their country of origin. These transnational entrepreneurs view a globe of porous borders.
So we know that entrepreneurs are the primary engines of job creation in the United States. Research study after research study has confirmed that it is young firms that drive improvements in the employment situation. From 1980–2005, firms less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the country. In 2007 alone, young firms (1-5 years old) accounted for nearly two-thirds of job creation. We also know more than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, along with nearly half of the firms on the 2008 Inc. list of America's fastest-growing companies. In light of all this evidence and in face of the employment crisis in the country, how can we truly support the entrepreneurs behind these young firms?
When President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address is still unclear. However, with 80 percent of the population believing that new economic growth and jobs will come from entrepreneurs, discussion around what his address should include in terms of policies that encourage new start-ups is already underway.

Patt Morrison on Margaret Thatcher's legacy in California
Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images
A book about former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with a message on the cover is left next to floral tributes outside the residence of Baroness Thatcher in Chester Square on April 8, 2013 in London, England. Lord Bell, spokesperson for Baroness Margaret Thatcher, announced in a statement that the former British Prime Minister died peacefully following a stroke on 8th April, aged 87.
Margaret Thatcher died this morning at the age of following a stroke. Known as the "Iron Lady" Thatcher was a conservative politician who served as England's Prime Minister for 11 years starting in 1979.
Her term ran in tandem with that of President Reagan's during the final decade of the Cold War. He called Thatcher his "special friend" and political "soul mate."

Cholesterol is a fatty substance in your body. Cholesterol can be both helpful and harmful to your body. On the good side, it helps build the hormones and cells your body needs. But when you have too much cholesterol, it collects inside the walls of your blood vessels. This can cause heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
When you get your cholesterol checked, your healthcare provider will tell you how high your cholesterol is.
If your total cholesterol is
Your healthcare provider may also check the 2 main types of cholesterol in your blood.
HDL helps prevent heart disease. It helps your body get rid of cholesterol.
LDL leaves fat on the inside of the blood vessels. When you have too much LDL, you have a higher chance of heart disease.
It's good to have high HDL and low LDL.

The level of LDL that is healthy for you depends on your risk of heart disease:

Workampers looking for a paying assignment could easily get a job delivering RVs now. They would need a CDL plus a truck, if they are delivering trailers or 5th wheels. A couple could do fairly well if one delivered a 5th wheel while the other drove a motorhome. Drivers are in short supply.
RV Business reports that "Classic Transport, Elkhart, Ind., is backlogged six weeks on deliveries, according to CEO Bill Garvey. ''Drivers aren't crazy about coming to IN in the snow.'"
Wave Express, on the other hand, has capitalized on the backlog by working directly with the dealers and had an easier time recruiting drivers in those markets rather than in Indiana.
Transporting RVs does have its downsides. You will wear out your truck much faster. Even Garvey admits, this is not full-time work. "We recruit part-time drivers, 50-70 year-olds. We are not able to recruit full-time drivers because when you sit down and do the math it doesn't work out to full-time income."
One way to add to your income is to team up with your spouse. Another is to get assignments where you take an RV in the opposite direction after you deliver the first, though that may not be easy to arrange. You'd probably be on your own for this and how many RVs are heading to Indiana?
If you are looking to break into this type of work, now would be a good time. Drivers who respond when the company has a backlog will be at the top of the list when deliveries aren't as plentiful. Jaimie Hall Bruzenak

Gruters reminds Memorial Day crowd of price of freedom
Guest speaker Guy Gruters, former prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, told a large crowd present at Monday's Memorial Day Service which was held at the local Veterans Memorial, that there is no way to describe the emotion of witnessing 170 body bags lined up on a runway in preparation for shipment back to the United States.
"They were people like us," said Gruters. "The stench was terrible. I experienced that and said, 'boy, what a price we pay for the freedom to be here.'"
For five and a half years, Gruters paid a supreme price for the freedom of Americans. He was imprisoned as a POW in a little 24 x 7 foot cell with no windows, no air conditioning and no heating system in the winter.
"In the summer it was over 100 degrees. We spent our time laying on the floor in front of the crack under the door trying to get some air," recalled Gruters. "During the winter we would literally shiver for weeks at a time.
"All during this time interrogation was going on. You would never know whether you were going to come back to your cell or not," continued Gruters, of his living conditions in a POW camp. "Over 3,200 shot down over North Vietnam were never rescued."
Gruters said that for the first six months of his tortured imprisonment, he was filled with hatred, which he referred to as, "the worst sin of all."
"After six months I started praying instead of hating," Gruters said. "John McKean was next to me for two and a half years."
After receiving a degree in engineering science from the Air Force Academy and a master's degree in astronautical engineering from Purdue University, he went through pilot training and gunnery school and volunteered for Vietnam. There, he spent more than five of his six years as a POW.
During his flight operations as a Forward Air Controller over 10 months, he flew more than 400 combat missions. During those missions he was shot down twice; it was after the second shooting that he was taken to the prison camp.
His decorations include more than 30 combat awards, with two Silver Stars, two DFCs, two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star in Valor, the POW Medal, a Presidential Unit Citation, 20 Air Medals, plus numerous other decorations.
Also at Monday's Memorial Service, Decatur Mayor John Schultz and Berne Mayor Bill McKean jointly unveiled new names on the Memorial Wall, Specialist Nicholas Taylor and Phillip C. Jenkins.
For the first time in many years, the service was an all-county event, hosted by American Legion Post 468, Berne, which made the arrangements for Gruters' appearance, American Legion Post 43 of Decatur, VFW Post 6236 of Decatur and VFW Post 6751 of Geneva.
"Again our nation has assembled to honor its heroic dead," said Commander Les Wagner of Post 468 in Berne. "A thousand battles of land, sea and air echo the glory of their valiant deeds. Under the quiet sod, or beneath the murmuring waves, their bodies sleep in peace.
"Comrades, on this Memorial Day, let us pledge ourselves anew to patriotic service," continued Wagner. "Let us make ourselves the friend and brother, son and father, of those who will not see their own again in mortal flesh. Let us grasp with fearless hands the American Flag so nobly born before, and like those others, plant it always on the battlements of righteousness."
Gruters credited the power of prayer for the strength to make it through the 60 plus months in the prison setting. He noted that each Sunday at 12 noon, the more than 300 men in the camp would recite the Lord's Prayer, 23rd Psalm and Pledge of Allegiance.
Gruters said that during interrogation, North Vietnamese officials threatened those who would participate in the service.
"We said that as long as one person was alive, the service would continue," said Gruters. "They let us have the service after that.
"Christian soldiers make the best soldiers," continued Gruters. "No one ever fought like a Christian fought. We are surrounded by heroes, we are surrounded by Christians."

Salix Pharmaceuticals And Progenics Pharmaceuticals Announce Worldwide License Agreement For RELISTOR®
Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. (Nasdaq:SLXP) and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:PGNX) today announced that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide (except Japan) agreement by which Salix has licensed rights to RELISTOR ® (methylnaltrexone bromide). RELISTOR Subcutaneous Injection is indicated for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in patients with advanced illness who are receiving palliative care, when response to laxative therapy has not been sufficient. Use of RELISTOR beyond 4 months has not been studied.
RELISTOR is a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist that counteracts the constipating effects of opioid pain medications in the gastrointestinal tract without affecting their ability to relieve pain. The methylnaltrexone license includes intellectual property from the University of Chicago, Progenics Pharmaceuticals, and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, including patents and applications with expiration dates that will range from 2017 through 2031. RELISTOR was approved in the United States in 2008, and currently the drug is approved for use in over 50 countries worldwide. In 2010, RELISTOR single-use, pre-filled syringes were approved for use in the United States, Canada and the European Union. Worldwide net sales of RELISTOR totaled $16 million in 2010.
Financial terms of the transaction include a $60 million up-front payment and development milestones totaling $90 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain U.S. regulatory milestones. Salix also will pay sales-based milestones of up to $200 million plus royalties on product sales in the U.S., as well as 60% of all revenue received from non-U.S. sublicensees. Salix will fund all development, registration and commercialization activities for RELISTOR in markets worldwide other than in Japan, where Progenics has licensed to Ono Pharmaceuticals the rights to develop and commercialize subcutaneous RELISTOR.
Commenting on the transaction, Mark R. Baker, President, Progenics, stated, "Our agreement with Salix represents the culmination of our search for a partner with the skills, experience and passion to effectively market and develop RELISTOR. With the strength of Salix's sales force and development team behind this product, I believe that RELISTOR's full potential can be achieved -- to the benefit of OIC patients."

Manulife PRPP Survey Finds Canadians Prefer Expanding Workplace Pensions Over Higher CPP Or QPP Contributions
National Workplace Savings Survey shows 4 in 5 without a workplace savings plan worry about retirement lifestyle
TORONTO, Dec. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - In a survey of Canadians from across the country, Manulife Financial found that respondents were twice as likely to support a Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP) (64 per cent), rather than increase their CPP or QPP contributions (34 per cent) as a means to save more for retirement.
"Canadians strongly support the introduction of PRPPs and are looking to their provincial governments and employers to make it happen," said Sue Reibel, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Group Retirement Solutions, at Manulife Financial.Across the country, 74 per cent of respondents said it's 'important' or 'very important' for their province to introduce legislation to make PRPPs available. That figure climbs as high as 85 per cent in Quebec and 84 per cent in Newfoundland. The National Workplace Savings Survey asked more than 7,700 employed Canadians about their attitudes and convictions towards retirement planning and savings and their attitudes towards enrolling in a PRPP. PRPPs are workplace savings plans for employees of small to medium-sized businesses or the self-employed with contributions conveniently deducted from each pay. Contributions are invested in a larger pool of funds, which can result in lower fees than if an individual invested on her or his own. Employees are automatically enrolled but can opt-out and have the flexibility to increase or reduce contributions. Only 10 per cent of Canadians employed at workplaces with less than 100 employees have access to a pension plan. The federal government introduced PRPP's to help address this gap and in turn the gap between the savings rates of Canadians and their expected retirement needs.
- Of those surveyed, 69 per cent are worried that they won't have enough savings to maintain their current lifestyle in retirement. That figure increases to 78 per cent for those that don't currently have a workplace retirement plan.
- The absence of a workplace retirement plan would discourage 69 per cent of employees from switching jobs to that employer.
- Seventy-seven per cent believe saving through a PRPP would make it easier for them to reach their retirement goals.

لِيَجْزِيَ اللَّهُ الصَّادِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِن شَاء أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُوراً رَّحِيماً
24. In consequence, God will reward the truthful ones for having been true to their covenant, and punish the hypocrites if He wills, or turn to them in lenience and accept their repentance (if they repent). Surely God is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.13
13. The verse subtly implies that God's punishment depends on His Will: if He so wills, He punishes those who deserve it, but He may pardon them as well. But if any of His servants turn to Him with true repentance, He accepts their repentance. The conclusion of the verse mentioning God as All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate emphasizes His forgiveness and, therefore, encourages His sinful servants and even the hypocrites to turn to Him in true faith and repentance and mend their ways with the hope of being forgiven.

BARRINGTON, SHUTE (1734-1826), youngest son of the 1st Viscount Barrington, was educated at Eton and Oxford, and after holding some minor dignities was made bishop of Llandaff in 1769. In 1782 he was translated to Salisbury and in 1791 to Durham. He was a vigorous Protestant, though willing to grant Roman Catholics "every degree of toleration short of political power and establishment." He published several volumes of sermons and tracts, and wrote the political life of his brother, Viscount Barrington.

Neat. It's cool. I prefer representational art, in general, but I like this too.
You might consider googling an artist that I think you'd like, or be inspired by: Matteo Pericoli I'd be interested to hear what you think of his stuff.
Wow, his art is beautiful. I really love the way he uses watercolors to give warmth and variety to his otherwise sparse and methodical style.
Here's another little random piece I did. I messed up the mouth so then I drew over it and it actually looked more interesting than it was before my mistake.

If you could help Sauron update his "Intergalactic Super Duper" guide that would be awesome.
How to escape elo hell ~1300 when you place 1st 80+% of the time but your win rate is 49% thanks to horrible solo queue matchmaking.
I have a second Unreleased Mordekaiser guide, however I am waiting for the bft change (again) before I release it since I need to see how the delay of getting the item will effect him. The first unreleased guide got scraped since S3 changed how Morde is played on dom entirely.
Feel free to stop by the dominion chat on EUW if you want to ask me any questions directly.
I like reading Kayle guides. Everyone thinks their way is the right way, and there are about 10 different ways to play her (most of which work to some degree).
step 1: dunk
there is no step 2
3k isn't sauron. he just can't get enough games to go higher...
Anyways, guides on ADC would be interesting. I got pretty high on ADC in S2, but the new items got me beat.

More With Lydia Sarfati
By: Cathy Christensen
Posted: September 26, 2008, from the October 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 2
In 1994, David and I went back to Poland. I met my teacher and she said to me that she remembered the essay that I wrote when I was not more than 16-years-old and the essay was about where do you see yourself in the year 2000. What she had said that I wrote was that I was going to be a very important person and that I would have a global company and that I would be very successful and have two beautiful children and a wonderful husband. In business, when I first started in 1977 when I first opened my skin care spa in Manhattan, back then there were really only two big skin care people in Manhattan, Georgette Klinger and Christine Valmy, and I was opening up right around the corner and dared to charge more for a facial than Ms. Klinger. On the Daily News cover, they asked who these women are with so much hutzpah. I wanted to most fabulous skin care spa in Manhattan. I dreamed of delivering a wonderful experience to clients and I would come early in the morning before the cleaning lady would come and I would clean the place so she could make coffee and tea sandwiches. I wanted to make sure clients left with beautiful skin and a memorable experience. Back then, that was my aim and goal. When I started the company, I wanted to make a product that makes a difference. If you use this, this is what will happen to your skin. It was always about integrity and not really sparing anything when it came to delivering the best.
You are so busy with your company and your profession ... what do you do in your downtime?
It may sound really lame, but what I do doesn't feel to me like work. Let's say I'm not doing facials or talking to clients or writing formulations, I love walking. I walk every day in the mornings. When I'm on vacation, I like to walk in the woods. I love to swim and I love reading—I devour books. I like history books; I love to read and just finished 1776. I love learning or novels based on historical fact.
What advice would you give to spa owners who are struggling to make ends meet in this economy?
I was thrown my way few unpleasant curves. Instead of saying, "Now I'm homeless and I don't have citizenship" I say "What can I do? I've got lemon now, what do I do? Do I make lemonade? Sell on corner? Add water to the juice." Your loyal clients are going to come to you. If you have a regular client, why don't you bring them in for a 30-minute treatment. Try to do little things rather than big things. Get them in more often. Instead of the main course, why don't we do snacks and appetizers. Let's give them just a mask or just a massage or just one element of a facial; make it more accessible, make it more fun. That's what I've been doing for a lot of the salons … the facial bar concept. They feel better, a hand massage, you earn service dollars, the client will always buy something retail. Instead of six full-hour treatments, you might do 20 clients today with 15 minute treatments.
