Chopped All-Stars Caption It: What Did We Get Ourselves Into?by Sarah De Heer in Shows, April 26th, 2012
In possibly one of the most anticipated Chopped All-Stars episodes of the series, four Chopped judges — Alex Guarnaschelli, Marcus Samuelsson, Marc Murphy and Chris Santos — will take their place on the Chopping Block to compete for the fourth and final spot in the finale. Pictured above, all-star chefs Alex Guarnaschelli and Chis Santos look curiously at each other as they enter the kitchen. Will the judges be pleased with their colleagues efforts or will their dishes leave more to be desired?
The winner of this episode will join Iron Chef Michael Symon, Cooking Channel's Jeffrey Saad and Food Network Star finalist Penny Davidi in the grand finale for a chance to win their charities $50,000.
Before you tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c to watch the action unfold, we're challenging you, Chopped All-Stars fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this moment in the comments below.

I meant to say The Top Chef Master against The Iron Chef. Should be great fun.
I loved how Chris Santos Got chopped first!. I thought that he was going to be more " Perfectionist" like in his critics to the participants.
Have you ever listened to Alex? She is far worse.
He was very gracious after he lost and I felt bad for his charity. He obviously had a lot of personal attachment to the charity.
Caption: Alex to Chris – "OK, Chris; I'm going to win Chopped All-Stars and you can't stop me!"
Chris to Alex – "Oh, yeah? I thought this was Top Chef Masters"…
Alex: I am going to castrate you!
Whoa!!! Where did that one come from?
Chopped All Stars: Will they dominate or be crushed under the basket?
That witch Penny doesn't belong in America. Do you see he visious looks on her face when Michael Symon was cut. Is that the sign of a professional? No? A person that should be shown on TV? NO. A scumbag…YES She shows her unpleasant eastern insensitive…All I can say: she doesn't belong on TV. The channel needs to think if putting a NOT NICE person is what they should do. No…they should drop her off in the Sahara desert where she belongs. I hate seeing people that are not nice on a show like Chopped…or a Channel Food Channel. What political crap are y ou dealing with? It doesn't belong in a kitchen. Because she will use unprofessional, plitical behavior to be there is wrong. Stand up and say so.
I agree that Penny is very unpleasant and shouldn't be a part of FoodNetwork (but doesn't belong in America??? — come on!)
She really is incapable of uttering three consecutive sentences without two of them being snarky. She did NOT get a "bad rap" on Next Food Network Star. They kept her longer than they should have because, apparently she can cook. She just doesn't do "Human Being" all that well.
Do you really believe that one has to be a nice person to be allowed in America? Sure Penny is unpleasant and I hope she never shows up on Food Network gain. But as much as some people may aggravate us, we do still have free speech and the right to be stupid. I could be wrong, but from the misspelled words and grammar mistakes in your post, I wonder if you yourself are not American born. So what kind of political crap are you trying to make out of a cooking contest? Get over it or change the channel.
Do you know they changed the judges for the last show?? My husband and I are trying to figure that out? And I agree Penny is a witch & not a very nice person!
Do you know why they changed the judges for the last show?? My husband and I are trying to figure that out? And I agree Penny is a witch & not a very nice person!
And the fat blond judge…the only way she could take Michael Symon down is as a judge. She knows she can't beat him in the kitchen so she makes him leave. You should also get rid of her.
I agree about the blond but does anyone understand why tatooed, bald headed Chris was brought back to be a judge when he had been eliminated as a contestant. Do they have any rules on this show or do they make them us as they go along?
Chopped all stars:
Penny, how dare you openly disrespect
Chef Michael Simon and Chef Amanda.
You were lucky and should feel honored
To be in the same room as these great Chefs.
You purpose was obviously self serving. You
Mentioned the "food network staff" and Iron
Chef. The day you are on food network is the
Day we stop watching. You are obnoxious
And need a serious reality check!!
anne had no right being a judge. she lost fair and square but to vote off michael simon just goes to show how vendictive she can be.next time dont let a looser come back as a judge.also keep penny far away or put her in a room with ann and see who wins.
Glad Chris was chopped. They do need to replace him. All restaurant owners are not chefs.

What are the dimensions for the 12V 7.5ah battery. I will be ordering a Pelican box so I can use it in my kayak for my fish finder.
would the 12volt version work ok for a trolling motor that won't be used enough to warrant a deep cycle rechargable.

I'm a believer in IIFYM, but I still try to eat fairly clean to ensure proper nutrition. However, how much does sugar matter in terms of total carb count? Out of the 240g of carbs I'm allowed daily, I sometimes get around 25% (60g) of sugar. Most of these sugars are from milk, fruit, protein powder, post-workout recovery drinks, and cereal. Is that too much sugar? What's a good limit?

Golden Sisters on the Today Show
Kim K Sex Tape Grandmas 3x Twerkier Than Miley Cyrus
'Golden Sisters' Premiere On OWN Will Have You In Stitches
The Huffington Post | By Anthonia Akitunde Posted: 12/16/2012 3:09 pm EST | Updated: 12/17/2012 3:41 pm EST
Golden Sisters Mary, Teresa and Josie have a lot to say, as anyone familiar with the viral videos of their reactions to Kim Kardashian's sex tape and "50 Shades of Grey" can attest.
"We were born like that," Mary said, before her sisters can jump in. "New Yorkers speak their minds."
"We interrupt, we intrude," added Josie.
"My ex-husband used to say, 'You're so intrusive,'" Teresa said.
"Well you are, Terry," Mary agreed, speaking over her younger sister.
The Bronx-born sisters (Mary is 81 and twins Teresa and Josie are 73) want to be "poster old ladies" for the golden years, and they've found the perfect venue for their sassy and blunt observations; their show "Golden Sisters" premieres on OWN with back-to-back episodes airing tonight. The show builds on the following the sisters earned through their Golden Sisters YouTube videos. Production company LMNO Productions videotaped the Golden Sisters' weekly lunch dates where the three would offer not-your-typical-grandmotherly advice to questions submitted via Twitter.
"We have a lot of information that this world has to know," Mary said. "We've lived it you know? Whatever we tell you, whatever we've learned, we let want everyone to know."
The Huffington Post spoke with Mary, Teresa and Josie as they talked about their bond, the most important lesson they've learned (including tips they picked up from Kim Kardashian's sex tape) and their biggest accomplishments.
The Huffington Post: How did the opportunity to be on OWN present itself?
Teresa: I'm an agent and I was pitching some shows. One show I really liked was "My Son the Plumber." The people I pitched it to (LMNO Productions) loved the mom, and I said I have two sisters. We had lunch every Wednesday so someone would come and film us. While they were filming us, one of the little segments that we did went viral and that was because something happened in my sister Josie's beauty salon.
Josie: I was reading a magazine and Kim Kardashian was on the cover. I said to one of the hairdressers, "Look at her, isn't she beautiful?" And her comment was, "She's a slut!" So I said, "Why would you call her a slut?" She said, "Let me take you to the front desk where I have a computer so I can show you this video." I looked at the video and after one minute, I said, "Oh my God, I can't believe that!"
One day we had lunch and the subject came up among us, what do you think of Kim Kardashian? And I said "Oh my God, she did a video, you guys didn't see the video?" And they said "No."
Mary: We don't watch porn.
J: So they filmed us watching the video, LMNO put it on the Internet and it went viral. We got 6 million hits on YouTube.
M: I learned something from that porno, let me tell you. It's unbelievable! Even at my age you can learn something. At 81! I kind of enjoyed it a little bit, it really made us laugh and have a lot of fun.
HP: What's one thing you know now that you wish you knew when you were younger?
J: Things don't mean a thing. When you're younger, you want to buy this thing and that thing and that thing and this thing. And things don't matter. Family and loving each other and that kind of stuff [matters].
M: But Josie, that's not reality.
J: Well then, what would you say is something you've learned now that you didn't know when you were younger?
M: I shouldn't have gotten married at 18, that's number one. I wish I had more kids, that's number two. And I wish I hadn't let my husband get away with everything he got away with. Now that he's dead — he's [been] dead a whole year — God, I'm so happy and I don't even know why! Because I was married for 62 years and all of a sudden I'm a widow and I feel so free. It's ridiculous. I was happy when I was married too, but I made myself happy.
T: I think when you're young you live your life a lot for other people, you do what other people think you ought to do. What I've learned is do what your heart tells you to do and follow your bliss. Make yourself happy because then the people around you will be happy.
J: Mary always says this: "Happiness is self-inflicted." Don't depend on the next person to make you happy.
M: My mother made us believe that a man is the head of the house even though we worked! We worked our whole lives, but then we got home there was dinner, we cooked, we cleaned, we took care of our husbands, we took care of our kids. And the husband was like a king, just sitting there. We had to treat them like a king. That's what I would never do again. Treat a man like a king.
HP: What's a rule that you feel like you can break without worrying what others think now that you're older?
M: Staying out as late as I want! Maybe not coming home for the night, maybe spending the night at my sister's.
J: No, you know what I love? I love spending everything I make. I love spending all the money my heart desires. I love giving a lot away. The thing I love most is creating a job for someone in my salon.
M: If we go to Vegas and she loses she says "So what? The dealer needed the money." She's a very, very happy loser.
T: As I grew older, the thing I like most is having sex and feeling guilty about it.
M: Why would you feel guilty about having sex?
T: When you're younger, you feel guilty. Unless the relationship would really go further, you would feel really guilty and think, "Oh my God, I shouldn't have gone to bed with him." I used to think if you have sex with someone, you should really have a relationship, or get married. And now I think you can do it for fun.
J: At this age, right now, I don't want anything I don't have. I have a lot of crap in my house. Even after the earthquake I was so happy a few things broke. I'm so "stuffed" out.
HP: What is your greatest accomplishment?
T: My children are my biggest accomplishment — I look at them and feel really good. I wrote a book and had it published, "How to kiss with confidence." I discovered Shia LaBeouf, he was very poor and he got very wealthy, and that was fun for me. And now developing the show. It was several different things in my life that pushed me forward and made me happy because of the creative process.
J: The thing I'm most proud of is my salon Michelangelo Hair House in Woodland Hills, California. I've been in this shopping center for 40 years. 4-0. I've given a lot of hair dressers a start in the business, when nobody else would hire them I did. There are a lot of hairdressers who are hairdressers because of me. I implemented the apprentice program in the salon, otherwise they couldn't afford to be hairdressers. So I feel like that's my biggest accomplishment, besides my kids. I have four kids and three are attorneys and one is an insurance adjuster.
M: My biggest accomplishment is raising my grandson. When he was a year old his mother dropped him on my doorstep and I took care of him all these years, and now I'm taking care of his daughter, my great-grandbaby. She's 8 years old and that's my greatest accomplishment. I'm having a ball taking care of her.
J: Can I say this? I think Mary's biggest accomplishment in life was making other people laugh. Because to me, laughter is medicine. She made people who would've gotten sick healthy when they sat in her chair and she did their hair. She made them laugh.
T: Another great accomplishment of Mary's is raising the two of us. (All three sisters laugh.)
HP: How do you stay so vibrant?
J: I think it's genetics. And laughter, laughter is the best medicine.
M: I'm 81 years old. I have polka records and every morning for one hour I dance around my table. That's my exercise, because I can't afford a massage and all this stuff that they get.
HP: Why do you think people have a negative view on aging?
M: I know, isn't that terrible? We want to open their eyes. Every day is a beautiful day as long as you're healthy.
T: I think the big problem is loneliness and health problems.
J: I honestly believe you can laugh yourself to health.
M: Let me tell you something honey, getting old is beautiful! Look at me, look at how I'm going to die. What a finale! My God! Eighty-one-years old and I might be popular? I might be famous? Give me a break.
"The Golden Sisters" sneak peek airs on Sunday, December 16 on OWN at 10/9 CST.
San Fernando Valley's 'Golden Sisters' get their OWN reality show
By Bob Strauss, Staff Writer
Posted: 12/15/2012 03:58:02 PM PST
Updated: 12/15/2012 10:08:13 PM PST
Viral videos and reality TV don't commonly feature folks in their 70s and 80s.
Unless we're talking about the Golden Sisters, three Bronx-born siblings who have all lived in the West San Fernando Valley since the 1960s.
Mary Bartnicki, 81, and 73-year-old twins Josie Cavalluzzi and Teresa Dahlquist — all nee Conticchio — became Internet sensations this summer when over 3 million viewers hit the YouTube video of them frankly and uproariously discussing Kim Kardashian's sex tape.
Other vignettes of the sisters' takes on pop culture topics proved popular, too, and now they're on real TV.
A one-hour "Golden Sisters" special airs on Oprah Winfrey's OWN at 10 p.m. Sunday.
In two separate episodes, Josie, Mary and Teresa prepare for Dec. 21's predicted end of the world and, in case that doesn't happen, the recently widowed Mary takes a stab at online dating.
"I didn't do it!" Mary proclaimed regarding the latter during a joint interview this week with her sisters.
"Yes she did," Teresa instantly corrected in the manner that's the hallmark of the women's lovingly contentious give-and-take. "She did! You had lunch with four guys."
"Well, yeah," Mary reluctantly admitted. "But that's it. I mean, we didn't spend the night or anything. Just lunch."
Whether criticizing Kim's apparent lack of erotic enthusiasm ("What is her problem? She's just laying there," Mary wonders at one juncture) or reading "Fifty
Shades of Grey" and thinking aloud about how much this or that physical act would hurt, the sisters' rapid-fire commentary boasts an expert comic balance of shock with prurient fascination and salty worldliness with a sense of grandmotherly propriety. And they express it all with an upfront, New York naturalness that seems totally spontaneous and honest.
They can also cuss like construction workers, meaning their videos are filled with bleeps.
The whole thing is the brainchild
of veteran reality TV producer Eric Schotz, president and CEO of Encino-based LMNO Productions. It was inspired, though, when Teresa — a talent agent whose accomplishments include discovering a kid actor named Shia LaBeouf — showed him a pitch reel for a different idea she'd had.
"She came in and pitched a show called 'My Son, the Plumber'," Schotz recalled. "Candidly, the show sucked. What happened was, one of her grandchildren said he just wanted to be famous in it and Teresa said, 'Your music sucks' – at which point we turned to her and said, 'You're interesting.' She goes, 'I'm nothing. I have two sisters and they're funnier.' We met with them and signed them the next day."
For more than a year, Schotz shopped the ladies to every network in town and was uniformly told that no one would watch old people, no matter how funny they were. Then he got the idea to just put their Kardashian commentary up on the Web — on YouTube and several other sites — and see what would happen.
It got two million hits in 24 hours — all by people under the age of 50, Schotz claims, citing Google Analytics. (It's now well past the 3 million mark on YouTube alone.) The next day, three networks offered deals; Oprah's, all decided, was the best fit.
"We're very excited about meeting Oprah," said Teresa, who has nine grandchildren. "We will eventually. But we met her people, and we have so much fun with them. They laugh at everything we say. Isn't that fun when you say something and someone just busts out laughing and you don't know why?"
Rita Mullin, OWN's executive vice president of programming and development, said it's actually not hard to understand their appeal.
"The ladies are a web phenomenon with a growing online fan base," Mullin said in an e-mail. "We think their spirited passion for pop culture and most importantly their love for laughter is something our viewers will find contagious."
It's hoped Sunday's special will garner enough ratings to lead to more episodes.
The sisters have already been flown to New York – first class, they proudly note — to be guests on Anderson Cooper's talk show. And they've just returned from an extended weekend in Vegas, where Mary — who has two sons, four grandsons and one great-granddaughter who lives with her — made a killing in a poker tournament.
Josie has four children and seven grandchildren, and owns the Woodland Hills salon Michelangelo's Hair House, where Mary also works three days a week.
"In the last year, I have had more fun than my entire life," said Josie. "I compare it to my freshman year in college, when I was so excited and having so much fun. Here I am, 73 and I can say this was one of the funnest years of my entire life."
"I hate to say that it's the most fun I ever had because my husband passed away last year, but this is the best time I've had in my life!" the mirthfully matter-of-fact Mary added. "I mean, I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a merry widow, but I have to tell you the truth: I've never been happier in my life.
"And to me, when I do die — what a finale," Mary added. "What a way to go, to leave this Earth famous. I mean, Betty White was an actress her whole life. But me, now, they're gonna know who I am? I'm ecstatic."
In my 72 years on this earth I have experienced much, loved a lot and lived the American dream. I do believe my generation was very fortunate to experienced the best America has to offer. From the victory of World War Two, to the growth and prosperity that followed, up to the internet and cellphones of today. WOW!
Born on May 13, 1939 in The Bronx New York, my identical sister and I are the youngest of six children. We were welcomed into the world, not only to loving parents but also to two older sisters and two older brothers who hugged and kissed us constantly. We really felt safe from the day we were born. As Italian Immigrants in New York City, our parents had to work hard and spend carefully to support their growing family. We were not rich in money, but we were rich in love. My Pop was so happy to have a job as a janitor in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Building. There is a saying, "Real men work at jobs they don't like just to feed their families." That was my Pop. In 1960 my father was making 60 dollars a week and I was making 120. My parents were so proud that I had learned a trade and was good at it.
My mother was thrilled when my father got that job even though it was a low salary. It was steady and they had health insurance. My Mother sewed our clothes, knitted our sweaters and caps in the winter, and cooked for a family of 8 every night. She also saved by making homemade pasta, bread and cookies.
My twin sister and I attended a vocational high school and graduated with licenses in hairdressing. My twin and I begged our parents to allow us to attend college and they finally agreed. We were only able to attend for two years.
My husband and I moved to California in 1966. I continued with a career in Hair dressing eventually opening my own Salon. I've owned the same salon for 38 years and still have some clients that I've been doing for decades. My husband had a very successful career with the Gas Company and is now retired. When we had our four children we vowed that they would all have the opportunity to not only attend college but to graduate with a four year degree. All four of my children graduated from college and three of them went on to become lawyers. I have been married for almost 50 years and we are most proud of our children and grand children.
Everything wasn't perfect but the setbacks and disappointments were easily managed. No jail time, no drugs and no terminal illnesses. Have I been lucky??? I think so.
Of course one of my favorite pastimes is spending time with my sisters. We are all over 70 and love talking about what we've learned during our lifetimes, how our childhoods effected us and what wisdom we have to share with our children and grandchildren. We still are so Italian in many ways. We love to cook, dance, and sing the old Italian songs. Our gestures are Italian, we're passionate and we also are very nosy when it comes to our children.
I'm 72 years old and so is my twin sister. I wake up each morning happy, grateful and excited to be alive. Of course I've been blessed with great Italian immigrant parents and sometimes feel more Italian then American. There's a lot of street sense in me cause I grew up in the Bronx. I cuss to much and was taught, "If someone hit's you, you hit them right back." But Jesus says, "Turn the other cheek" Confusing to say the least. I use them both at different times.
My twin and I had to beg my parents to let us go to college. We worked in factories and saved enough money to pay for the first year. My Mom didn't think education after high school was important. After all she could teach us how to be homemakers and that's what we would be doing anyway. When we said we could marry a doctor or a lawyer instead of neighborhood bums, she acquiesced. The experience was amazing we completed 2 years at a boarding college. In those days the cost was one thousand dollars a year.
My two sisters and I love to cook, laugh, dance and sing. We make each others lives easier. Love has a way of doing that. We socialize often and it re-energizes each of us with more love. Except when we argue, get upset and call each other names.
I was a single parent and raised two wonderful happy children. My daughter is a hairdresser and my son is a plumber. They are good, tax paying and family loving citizens. They have blessed me with 9 grandchildren and one great grandchild. My divorce hurt a lot of people. Today I know the ramifications of such a major decision has on relatives and children.
I was a hairdresser for 35 years and loved every minute of it. It was like having coffee everyday with friends. When a client came in sad, they always left happy. After 35 years and some financial success, I wanted to try something new. So I bought a talent agency. I discovered Shia LaBeouf when he was eleven and we are still great friends. I love being a talent agent and never intend to retire.
I've also learned a lot from my mistakes and setbacks that I want to share with my bloggers and hopefully help some individuals avoid the pitfalls I fell into. So here I am wanting to share what I've learned during my journey of 72 years on this wonderful planet.
I was born during the depression and of course I was an accident. My Mother had my brother Angelo who was six years old. My brother Mike who was three years old and my sister Jennie who was a year and one half old. So was I welcomed with open arms? Yes! And you know why? Because we lived with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Gracie, Uncle Joey, Uncle Jimmy, and we all loved each other. Was I loved? You bet I was.
I remember getting slapped everyday and knew I deserved it. They would all say we slap you because we love you. But that was so hard to believe. I guess it was all true cause I grew up respecting my elders. To this day I never regret my parents being strict and leading us the right way.
Of course the teenage years were tough because we weren't able to date until we were 16. But my sister and I would say we were going to the library and instead we met our boyfriends and made out. Now by making out it was just kissing and that was it. Making out today means going all the way. I fell in love at eighteen married at 19 had two beautiful sons, John and Joe. I also have four grand children and two great grand children. Ashley and Joseph. Their Daddy is my grandson and we all live together.
I'm 81 years old and have been married 61 years. My husband just passed away recently and I look back and say to myself, "How lucky was I to have such a wonderful life" Life is what you make of it. Believe me I had my share of ups and down. But how great if you could maximize the good things and minimize the sad and hurtful things that happen is your life. My personality could do that. I'm still working 3 days a week as a hairdresser and am still raising my great Grand daughter. Most people say how do you do it. And I say I love every minute of it.
Today my favorite thing to do is have lunch with my baby twin sisters who are 72 and who my mother trusted me at 8 years old to raise them. We do love each other and often talk about our lives and how lucky we were to be raised in a warm, loving family. We love to get together and cook our favorite Italian recipes.

"I have this vivid memory of that Sunday," Laurie Barnett, tells me over the disco music pumping into the midtown Manhattan restaurant where we meet, "when everyone figured out that Lehman was going bankrupt and Merrill was merging with Bank of America, and everything basically went to shit." It's hard to picture Laurie, 25, athletic and tomboyishly pretty, being a casualty of anything, but, as she's eager to tell me, she was present at the destruction, an analyst at a distressed major investment bank, when on September 14, 2008, the illusion of Wall Street as an inexhaustible moneymaking machine ceased to exist.
"Just like everyone has their own story from 9/11," Laurie says, "everyone has a Crash story. I was at home, hungover on a Sunday afternoon, and my friend who works at Lehman said, `I just got an e-mail from a managing director who says he's packing up his stuff and I should too.' She used to basically live in her office and had everything in her cubicle, like five changes of clothes. Later in the day, she called: `Can you actually come help me bring stuff home?' I walked in the door with two rolling suitcases, and every single person was in the office, and there were news cameramen outside asking, `Do you have anything to say?' All the tourists were looking on. And we had the suitcases with her clothes and company training books in them and she's carrying her plant in her arm, and we turned to each other and said, `We're going to remember this for a long time.' It was an iconic moment."
The story of how a handful of companies concocted exotic financial instruments that pumped up the housing bubble and their own profits, nearly bankrupting the entire country when it burst, has been front-page news for a year. But behind the headlines is another story about a generation of young women like Laurie. They're the so-called Generation Y, programmed by their baby boomer parents for success, coming of age in an era of almost unprecedented affluence, landing choice corporate jobs, including on the male bastion of Wall Street, in record numbers. They now find themselves the expendable shock troops in a campaign of corporate "downsizing" that has reached its nadir in Manhattan.
The mass layoffs have occurred at a few investment banks that were swallowed by their healthier siblings. But in the ensuing stock market crash, the pain radiated out from Wall Street to the rest of the country as credit froze, consumer confidence plummeted, and businesses all over the country went belly-up, pushing the national unemployment rate to 9.7 percent in August, the highest since 1983. Also hard-hit, according to Batia Wiesenfeld, PhD, a professor of management at NYU's Stern School of Business, was the lively mix of industries that feed off an idea of luxury bankrolled by the soaring stock market and those Wall Street bonuses: real estate and retail and art, and the media and PR companies that spread the good word basically, those glamorous-sounding jobs for which Sex and the Cityemulating, high-achieving young women have long flocked to Manhattan and other cosmopolises.
Now many of those women find themselves at a premature professional crossroads, their expensive and hard-won degrees languishing. Mandy Hill, 27, had been a fine-arts major at the University of Michigan, but she lucked into an entry-level job at a Manhattan hedge fund because the markets were booming and the finance companies were hungry for young talent with unconventional backgrounds. "As long as you were bright and willing to work," Mandy says, "they were happy to teach you." After nearly two years as an analyst, she left finance to get a master's at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London so she could segue to a career in the art world. "I finished my dissertation last October," she says, "when the world fell apart. Christie's and Sotheby's laid off something like 25 percent of their staff, so forget about applying for a job there." She even struck out in an interview for a gallery assistant job with a family friend: "They got so many applicants, guys who could build the crates and hang the shows. It's been a little discouraging," Mandy says. ("People who take jobs for love, in fashion or art, for instance, now often find themselves in worse shape than the people in finance because those industries take longer to recover," Wiesenfeld says.) Now Mandy is living at home in Wayne, New Jersey, with her schoolteacher mom, and commuting to the city by bus for sporadic auction-house work. Her trademark Gen Y self-esteem has been sorely tested. "I know I'm smart," she says, "and I think I've got a lot to offer, so I figured I'd have no problem getting a job. And that was kind of my mistake."
A varsity athlete with a nice GPA, Laurie was recruited by her firm when she was a junior at a top Northeastern college, lured into the fold with a well-paid and highly social summer internship."You go to a lot of events, a lot of drinking," she recalls. "It's kind of like rushing a fraternity or sorority." (That alone was a sign of gender progress on Wall Streetalmost a third of her "class" were women.) Over the summer, she was exposed to all aspects of the investment business, including creative ways of slicing up, repackaging, and selling different grades of mortgage debt, the so-called Collateralized Debt Obligations. "CDOs are what got us into this mess in the first place," she says, "but in the summer of '06, it was blockbuster, with everyone making a ton of money. It was basically running a lot of quantitative models. I didn't get it, and I was right not to get it. You didn't actually make anything, you just found new ways to use money to make money."
By the time Laurie took her place at the leveraged loan desk in fall '07, credit had dried up nationwide and "my business had practically stopped being a business," she says. "Some people came in at 10 a.m., left at 3 p.m. Others brought footballs to the office. And everyone went to the gym in the middle of the day." Not that doing nothing and getting well paid for it added up to much fun. "There were definitely times when I had a pit in my stomach," she says, "I figured there was a 50/50 chance I was going to make it." She didn't, washed out in a wave of October firings.
No one disputes that in this insecure economy, the psychological impact of women being laid off in finance and its dependent industriesthe best and the brightest, the leading edge reverberates loudly. So how will this generation of young female overachievers cope with an underachieving economy? Business consultant Judith Bardwick, PhD, author of One Foot Out the Door: How to Combat the Psychological Recession That's Alienating Employees and Hurting American Business, worries that too many young women are "hopelessly unprepared" for a job market that's now in "a permanent wartime condition." In part, she blames overinvolved boomer parents (" `helicopter parents' who swooped down on whatever activity their kids were involved in and insisted they were megastars") who have left Gen-Yers with sometimes unrealistically high expectations.
"These were the incredibly bright young women who, as I like to say, built their first church in Nicaragua at the age of two and were working on their résumés before they could talk," Janet Hanson, CEO of the women's career networking group 85 Broads, says. Adds Judith Gerberg, a Manhattan executive coach and president of the Career Counselors Consortium, "These are people who've always succeeded at everything they put their mind to. And then their whole department gets laid off and they go into shock."
I began to collect their stories, starting with the Wall Streeters whose fall from grace quickly came to define our new age of diminished expectations. A friend knew a friend who knew a young woman at Barclays or Citibank, and we'd meet after work. Typically, she'd be eager to talk about what she'd lived through but nervous about losing her job, if she still had one (which is why most opted to use pseudonyms and some workplace details have been blurred). "Wall Street is a scary little world," Jennifer London, 25, a research analyst at a major Wall Street bank, told me over dinner in Manhattan's Flatiron District. "If your name ever appears in print next to the firm's name, even if you're saying the nicest things in the world, you could be fired."
Children of middle-class affluence, hardly trust-fund babies, women like Jennifer and Laurie saw finance as the hot ticket in a boom economy ("it became like the NBA draft," Hanson cracks) and the entry pass to an independent life in the city. "You're either on Wall Street and supporting yourself," Jennifer says, "or you're in a job you love and your parents are paying the rent." When the crash came, simple survival at work, and being able to make monthly rent, became epic.
One thing Gen Y has in common with its older colleagues is having to deal with the downsizing fallout pretty much on its own without the outplacement help and emotional support provided by Employee Assistance Plans that even supposedly heartless Wall Street routinely offered in the 1980s and the '90s. "In times of crisis," Bardwick observes, "everything goes overboard."
And 9/11 may play a role as well. In the wake of the attack, the Federal Reserve's Alan Greenspan slashed interest rates to pump up the economy and morale, laying the groundwork for the housing bubble. But Shelley Reciniello, PhD, an organizational consultant who has worked with the major Wall Street firms since the early '80s, believes that 9/11 was also the high water mark for companies taking responsibility for the emotional well-being of its employees. "We offered so much counseling," she says, "the corporate powersthat- be came to resent it, unconsciously. They wanted to forget the vulnerability of that time, and the EAP budgets got trimmed."
Those who remember feeling supported by their company in the wake of 9/11 (the bulk of Gen Y, the oldest of whom have hit their thirtiesthe youngest are still in high schoolhad not yet entered the workforce in 2001) experience the new corporate reality as a sad betrayal. Sarah Steiner, fortyish, then a legal counsel at Lehman, says the old guard that worked through the grief of 9/11 (Lehman's offices were connected by a walkway to the World Trade Center) have had nowhere to take a different sort of pain, from diminished influence within the new Barclays regime, lost paper fortunesthe now worthless Lehman stockand a complete lack of trust in their employer. What remains is a kind of corporate nihilism. "The guys who have been working here for 20 years while their wives were playing tennis in Connecticut, by and large, they're not bringing these feelings back home," she said last spring. "They'll act out, come to work on Mondays with black eyes, from reckless skiing or even bar fights." The women mostly vent among themselves. Both sexes have gotten sloppy, she said, in the matter of office affairs: "They used to be conducted with some discretion and now they're completely flagrant."

Playing time an uphill climb for rookies under coach Tom Thibodeau
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com July 15, 2013 9:29PM
Tony Snell
Article Extras
Updated: August 17, 2013 6:44AM
LAS VEGAS — Bulls rookies Tony Snell and Erik Murphy might want to start buying containers of body lotion now.
''You can never have enough,'' second-year guard Marquis Teague joked during NBA Summer League play.
Teague found that out the hard way last season.
''That's what the rookies on our team do — make sure they have lotion for the veteran players,'' Teague said.
At times, Teague felt like that was all he did as a rookie under coach Tom Thibodeau because he surely didn't play a lot of minutes.
Swingman Jimmy Butler didn't as a rookie in 2011-12, and Teague didn't last season.
It's not that Thibodeau dislikes rookies. It's just that the defensive expectations he has for his players is such a high standard to meet. It doesn't come easy, even for veterans.
Guard Marco Belinelli was buried on the bench for the first month of last season. He struggled with some of Thibodeau's concepts and admitted it wasn't an easy system to learn.
Snell, a swingman, and Murphy, a forward, were drafted last month to add shooting, but it won't mean anything if they don't get the defensive end of their games tidied up.
''They have a lot to learn, and they have to put the work into it first, learning the pro game, preparing themselves for training camp,'' Thibodeau said. ''But the fact they've both shown they're more than capable of shooting the three in college . . . we think they're a good fit.''
They fit well in the second
game of summer-league play Monday, with Murphy scoring 18 points — including 4-for-5 from three-point range — and Snell 11 in the Bulls' 93-81 victory against the Denver Nuggets.
Guard Andrew Goudelock led the Bulls with a game-high 31 points.
On the move
It didn't take former Thibodeau right-hand man Ron Adams to find a new gig. The longtime NBA assistant was named the lead assistant to first-year Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens.
Adams was in the news a couple of weeks ago, when Bulls general manager Gar Forman opted not to renew his contract. That led to speculation there was a growing rift between Forman and Thibodeau.
Both since have cleared that up, insisting they're on the same page. On Saturday, Thibodeau said: ''We're fine. As I tell our players — I tell everyone — we're not looking backwards, we're looking ahead. And we're getting ready for next season.''

Oh man, remember The Hangover? That movie was not necessarily my favorite comedy of all time, and it had some difficulties in its depiction of women and minorities, but it was still really funny. I laffed lots of times. Zach Galifianakis, who knew? Just kidding, everyone knew. We were just waiting for the world to catch up. Remember when Zach Galifianakis said "how is your beeper reception in here?"? OMG. Remember when Zach Galifianakis sang that song about being best friends? Remember when Zach Galifianakis started imitating Bradley Cooper's character? Remember, remember, remember? Lots Of Love at the table, Carlos! The Hangover was the number one movie in the country for a second week in a row. That's incredible! Congratulations to everyone involved.
And now for the bad news: look at this fucking t-shirt. UGH. So it begins. This is the part where the reality of a runaway comedic hit begins to set in. Much as the Bruno Moral Quandary points out how some monsters cannot be trusted or expected to "get" the joke, the Hangover hangover is where we realize that people don't necessarily like things for the same reason we do, and some of these people want nothing more than to actually make us embarrassed for enjoying a movie now that it has spawned a cottage industry of incredibly annoying Urban Outfitters t-shirts and drunken barroom shouting of catchphrases. Yes, I get your reference, I saw the movie too. Now cut it out! You're ruining it! (Via TheDailyWhat.)

I'm not going to lie to you, if they made a shirt that said "Tigers Love Pepper", I'd wear it for weeks at a time.

I think there's a really big difference between deciding that you don't like the way that people express their enjoyment of a movie (or whatever) and disliking the movie itself. Just because I think that this t-shirt is lame, or that my stepdad saying "I'm rich, bitch!" a couple years ago at brunch made me feel weird about Dave Chappelle's invasion of the culture, doesn't mean that I don't still like the movie or Chappelle Show. It's not a knee jerk, reactionary attempt to be cooler than other people, it's a genuine emotional disconnect from them, and a weird self-reflective shift in one's own appreciation as the dividing line is drawn between what it is that you like about something (the reason you think it is funny) and what it is that you don't like about something (the reasons other people think it is funny).
As far as the whole racism and sexism in The Hangover is concerned, I'm sorry, I don't even know what we are arguing about. The fact of the matter is that there were very few women and minorities in the movie, and so choices were made about how those very few women and minorities would be depicted, and some of the choices were very lazy, and not at all interesting or intelligent. Was it a movie about four white guys partaking in a chauvanistic tradition? Yes. Does that explain why there were not very many women or minorities in the movie? Yes. Does that explain why the few women and minorities there were in the movie were lazy, hackneyed, stereotypical caricatures? No.
Do I think that the racism or the sexism is an egregious danger or serious problem in the movie? No, I have said many times that I like this movie and that it made me laugh a lot. Does liking the movie and laughing a lot at it somehow make the racism and sexism in the movie non-existent? No. I'm completely comfortable with both facts, and not scared of what liking a movie with racism and sexism in it says about me.
Am I happy that the movie is successful? Of course! Does that mean I have to enjoy when drunk douchebags start shouting out quotes to it at a bar or dressing up like Zack Galifianakis at Halloween? No it does not. I do not have to like that at all.
P.S. it's my job to give a shit about stupid things like this, you clown.
im unsure whether to up vote or down vote this. it would be pretty awesome if gabe had the worst comment of the week…..
Gabe, you're wasting a thoughtful response on SOMEONE who likes to SPONTANEOUSLY TYPE IN ALL CAPS and APPROPRIATES THEIR OPINIONS from what they HEARD from their FRIEND about something MICHAEL SAVAGE said.
Eh, comedy is often stupid, but this is a complaint being voiced about the specific nature of the stupidity in this one comedy, and I think it's hard to make the case that it's artificial or imagined on the parts of oversensitive viewers. Nobody made these kinds of complaints about Harold and Kumar, a dumb (and also very funny!) comedy with a fairly similar premise and structure (and intended audience, I would imagine).
I get being upset that "race has to be brought into everything," but the people who brought these issues into The Hangover were the people who made the movie, not the people who are talking about it: don't shoot the messenger.

So when Napoleon Dynamite came out, I got so excited. That film looked pretty funny! So I dragged my friends along to see it, and it was great! I asked what they thought in the bar afterwards, and they enjoyed it also. Hilarious! Good times!
Two weeks down the line I see my first 'Vote For Pedro' t-shirt. Well, that's okay I guess, it makes me smile, I won't lie. I probably even considered buying one for a few idle minutes. Man, I enjoyed that film! Skip forward a couple of months, I'm working at a bar and I swear half the guys in there are clad in these 'Vote For Pedro' tees, walking up to eachother, shouting 'HAHAHA VOTE FOR PEDRO YEAH BRO' and making fake, clumsy gang signs. Have they seen the film? I don't understand why they'd enjoy it, although that's kind of patronising I guess.
Six months after that film comes out, I'm working in the same place and there's still literally tons of musclebound guys strutting about proudly in 'Vote For Pedro' t-shirts, who seem to just spend the evening chest bumping eachother. People still find this funny? The film wasn't all that funny after all, I guess? I mean, sure, it had its moments, but come on. Well, fuck'em. Besides, at the time I was pretty excited for Anchorman! That film looked pretty funny!
Oh my gosh, I accidentally arrowed down when I meant to arrow up! I haven't felt this guilty in ages.
Hopefully everyone who reads this will arrow it up, because it's INCREDIBLY accurate and very similar to my experiences with Nap Dyn
As with most things, movies are fine until the dude-bros get ahold of 'em. Then they're lost forever.
I know people like the guy in that picture; dudes that would wear that shirt, and with them I find it's best to pretend to have never seen this movie.

I have never seen this movie.
…. except when it was called Very Bad Things, and starred christian slater and a bunch of other washed-up types.

You're being very un-dude.
I just want to be able to tell someone to suck a fuck without them replying "how does one suck a fuck". Is that too much to ask?
I tripped one time and watched Napoleon Dynamite. It made complete sense.

This is entirely the reason I loathe "The Office." You can't go anywhere without hearing some fuck-tard make a quirky Office quip or reference like they belong to some elite upper-echelon of society where they are the only ones who "get it." As if them and the rest of their Starbucks-hip churchgoing youth group are the only ones who know about Jim's super-chill, cutesy mannerisms and Dwight's gut-wrenching antics. I call this cultural disease the "Napoleon Dynamite Syndrome."
That's what she said.
WTF is the dude talking about | Posted on Jun 16th, 2009 -1
What the fuck does anyting have to do with Vietnam? What the FUCK are you talking about?

Would you feel the same way if the shirt came out before the movie? Then we'd just say, "Oh, that's a promotional product for this movie coming out soon." But because the shirt's out now, we see it as too-soon nostalgia and beating a dead horse.
There's no escape from these things. Unless you start making t-shirts and jokes that refer to things that haven't happened yet, like "Hangover 3: What Happens in Amsterdam."
First my "Just Jack" shirt, now my Hangover Baby Bjorn shirt…what's safe for me to wear anymore?

I hate it when people I am so clearly better than like things that I also like, but for way better and smarter reasons. Also my humor is never referential in the slightest. Nirvana was so much cooler when they were on Sub Pop and Pear Jam sucks when compared to Mother Love Bone as well as other grunge references.

um hello? maybe you should link the t-shirt site…
Ugh, did you know that they are making a sequel? UGH.
I had to google where that shirt is actually from. It's from http://www.nerdyshirts.com
If youre going to make fun of content, at least link to where youre making fun of. This is the internet Gabe, not a newspaper.

You must admit, however, that the shirt zach is wearing in the movie is a pretty wicked graphic tee. I might have to order me one, only for the simple fact that it is sweet as shit, which has nothing to do with the movie or anyone in it.

Mr. Fola Daniel, At The African Insurance Organisations (AIO) Annual Seminar On Life Insurance
Category: Regulators
Read (2244)
I am delighted to be with you this morning on the occasion of your annual seminar being hosted by Nigeria. I commend the organizers for their efforts at putting together this event against all the odds.
You may all agree with me that the AIO has indeed come a long way and has been able to establish itself as a very important body in the continent.
Today's forum offers opportunity to insurance practitioners in Africa to attempt to discuss identified lapses in the market and how best to address them. It also affords you the benefit of interaction and exchange of business information in order to keep abreast of developments in other jurisdictions.
The choice of theme "The Art of Life" for this seminar is very apt as it tends to dissect the essence of Life insurance. I have no doubt in my mind that at the end of the day, we shall all leave here with a sense of fulfillment that the time spent her was worth the while.
I say this because having glanced through the list of high profile speakers selected to share their knowledge with us at this seminar, there could only be one result – value added interactions.
It will not be out of place to state here that in the complex field of risk management, insurance has become universally recognized and accepted as the most efficient response to human attempt to provide for tomorrow. It is therefore noteworthy that no modern economy can either survive or prosper without the active support of a disciplined and viable insurance industry.
Suffice to also say that a disciplined insurance industry will always be mindful of cost of doing business and the need to generate appropriate premium requisite to meet obligations and the satisfaction of other stakeholders.
I am glad that some African countries are now counted amongst the top major economies of the world that have significant contributions from the insurance sector to their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ranging between 5 – 15%. One of such African countries is South Africa.
In the past five years, certain factors have made unprecedented positive impact on global growth and development of insurance. These factors include but not limited to advancement in Information Technology, increasing efficiency in the way we do business and integration of world financial system which now provide unparallel economic, cultural and recreational opportunities.
These developments have combined very well with other factors to create new opportunities for insurance business in Africa. The African market, now more than ever before is exposed to global exploration and competition.
There are no doubt the benefits derivable from Life insurance business to either the insured, insurer or the economies of any nation are enormous. For the avoidance of doubts, permit me to quickly mention some of these benefits. Besides the fact that Life insurance provides security to the insured, their families and businesses against the financial risks of death, illness and retirement, it complements and supplements any effort by government to provide for the financial needs of its population.
Because Life insurance is a long term business, it becomes a source of long term capital. The pool of funds generated from premiums collected could easily be channeled or invested in infrastructure and other sectors like the manufacturing industry which are crucial to a growing economy. This way, jobs are created while the larger economy grows faster.
However, the level of Life insurance penetration in Africa is still very low, meaning that a greater part of the population is vulnerable to loss. This poses a big challenge to us all.
As regulators of the Nigerian market, we have been responsive by identifying some major initiatives to drive market development. Our Market Development and Restructuring Initiative (MDRI) programme aims at creating increased awareness of insurance products generally and in particular, compulsory insurances of which group Life Insurance is an integral part. The MDRI also aims at eliminating fake insurance because one of the biggest barriers to people buying an insurance policy is lack of trust. We have been able to accomplish much in this regards.
The challenge for the Life insurance segment of our industry is for it to take bold steps to design more simplified and non-complex products taking into congnisance our peculiar environment. You should develop environmental friendly products that identify with the needs of the people as against stereotype life products which pay no particular attention to our environment.
You should make conscious efforts at developing products that will generate and enthuse willing purchase as against the hard sell which insurance generally is in Africa. Also, Life Insurers should be able to demonstrate the value of life insurance compared with other mode of savings and wealth creation and, how it could be the most affordable and suitable solution to the financial needs of the people.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, my message here today is that of belief in the Life insurance market. We only need determination to develop it and make it work efficiently for the benefit all stakeholders the way it has worked in other jurisdictions where premiums from life insurance business surpasses that of non-life.
I wish you successful deliberations.
Thank you.
Fola Daniel

The Minnesota Twins and Kansas City Royals game was rained out today which will change up the pitchers who were slated to get two starts next week as the rotations for both teams got pushed back one day. Here is a look at all of the two start pitchers for week five of the major league baseball season.
American League:
Start them:
Chris Sale (CWS) ~ CLE (Jimenez), @DET (Below)
C.J. Wilson (LAA) ~ MIN (Blackburn), TOR (Drabek)
Felix Hernandez (SEA) ~ @TB (Hellickson), MIN (Marquis)
Jeremy Hellickson (TB) ~ SEA (Hernandez), OAK (Colon)
Yu Darvish (TEX) ~ @TOR (Drabek), @CLE (Jimenez)
Roll the Dice:
Jason Hammel (BAL) ~ @NYY (Kuroda), @BOS (Buchholz)
Duane Below (DET) ~ KC (Sanchez), CWS (Sale)
Jerome Williams (LAA) ~ MIN (Liriano), TOR (Hutchison)
Tommy Milone (OAK) ~ @BOS (Buccholz), @TB (Moore)
Hiroki Kuroda (NYY) ~ BAL (Hammel), @KC (Sanchez)
Kyle Drabek (TOR) ~ TEX (Darvish), @LAA (Wilson)
Moore has struggled this season with too many walks allowed and his strikeout rate has not matched what he did in his short major league stint last season or in the minor leagues. Now would be a good buy-low point if you are playing in a trade league. Drabek has allowed two runs or less in each of his four starts this season but faces a tough test in his first start against Texas this week. Milone has 16 scoreless innigs at home, but has two road starts next week where he has a 4.91 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Williams has not enjoyed the same type of success he did last season, but was solid in two of three starts this year. We will see this week if Hammel is for real or not with road starts at New York and Boston.
Sit Them:
Clay Buchholz (BOS) ~ OAK (Milone), BAL (Hammel)
Ubaldo Jimenez (CLE) ~ @CWS (Sale), TEX (Darvish)
Jonathan Sanchez (KC) ~ @DET (Below), @NYY (Kuroda)
Luke Hochevar (KC) ~ @DET (Porcello), NYY (Hughes)
Phil Hughes (NYY) ~ BAL (Matusz), KC (Mendoza)
Nick Blackburn (MIN) ~ @LAA (Wilson), @SEA (Noesi)
Hector Noesi (SEA) ~ @TB (Moore), MIN (Blackburn)
Drew Hutchison (TOR) ~ TEX (Feliz), @LAA (Williams)
Sanchez has more walks than strikeouts this season and sports a 6.75 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in four starts. Hutchison is a rookie pitcher making the jump from Double-A and faces Texas in his first start next week. Hochevar has been decent in three of four starts this season but is on the road at Detroit and gets the Yankees in his second start next week. Jimenez has more walks than strikeouts and just isn't the same pitcher he was back in 2010. Buchholz has a .340 batting average against and has almost as many walks as he does strikeouts.
National League:
Start them:
Mike Minor (ATL) ~ PIT (McDonald), @COL (Moyer)
Brandon Beachy (ATL) ~ PHI (Hamels), @COL (Nicasio)
Mark Buehrle (MIA) ~ ARI (Collmenter), @SD (Richard)
Cole Hamels (PHI) ~ @ATL (Beachy), @WAS (Zimmermann)
Vance Worley (PHI) ~ CHC (Samardzija), @WAS (Gonzalez)
Matt Cain (SF) ~ MIA (Nolasco), MIL (Wolf)
Jordan Zimmermann (WAS) ~ ARI (Cahill), PHI (Hamels)
Roll the Dice:
Trevor Cahill (ARI) ~ @WAS (Zimmermann), @NYM (Dickey)
Jeff Samardzija (CHC) ~ @PHI (Worley), LAD (Capuano)
Bronson Arroyo (CIN) ~ CHC (Volstad), @PIT (Morton)
Juan Nicasio (COL) ~ LAD (Harang), ATL (Beachy)
Ricky Nolasco (MIA) ~ @SF (Cain), @SD (Wieland)
R.A. Dickey (NYM) ~ @HOU (Happ), ARI (Cahill)
Charlie Morton (PIT) ~ @STL (Wainwright), CIN (Arroyo)
James McDonald (PIT) ~ @ATL (Minor), CIN (Latos)
Joe Wieland (SD) ~ MIL (Wolf), MIA (Nolasco)
Adam Wainwright (STL) ~ PIT (Morton), @HOU (Happ)
Wainwright allowed one run in six innings in his last start with seven strikeouts and faces two of the weaker teams in the National League Central next week. Outside of his eight runs allowed at Atlanta, Dickey was solid in his other three starts with four runs allowed in 20 innings. Wieland has been good in two of his three starts, both of which occurred in Petco Park where he has twp starts next week.
Sit Them:
Josh Collmenter (ARI) ~ @MIA (Buehrle), @NYM (Santana)
Chris Volstad (CHC) ~ @CIN (Arroyo), LAD (Harang)
J.A. Happ (HOU) ~ NYM (Dickey), STL (Wainwright)
Aaron Harang (LAD) ~ @COL (Nicasio), @CHC (Volstad)
Randy Wolf (MIL) ~ @SD (Wieland), @SF (Cain)
Disregard Harang's 13 strikeout performance in his second start and instead focus on his poor ratios and the fact he has a start at Coors Field next week. Happ is allowing more than a hit per inning and has yet to make it past six innings in any of his four starts this season. Collmenter's rotation spot is hanging on by a thread. There is a good chance he will be in the bullpen after next week.

In the U.S. government-funded project, tablets of concentrated acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, are placed in dead thumb-size mice, which are then used as bait for brown tree snakes.In humans, acetaminophen helps soothe aches, pains, and fevers. But when ingested by brown tree snakes, the drug disrupts the oxygen-carrying ability of the snakes' hemoglobin blood proteins."They go into a coma, and then death," said Peter Savarie, a researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Wildlife Services, which has been developing the technique since 1995 through grants from the U.S. Departments of Defense and Interior.Only about 80 milligrams of acetaminophen--equal to a child's dose of Tylenol--are needed to kill an adult brown tree snake. Once ingested via a dead mouse, it typically takes about 60 hours for the drug to kill a snake."There are very few snakes that will consume something that they haven't killed themselves," added Dan Vice, assistant state director of USDA Wildlife Services in Hawaii, Guam, and the Pacific Islands.But brown tree snakes will scavenge as well as hunt, he said, and that's the "chink in the brown tree snake's armor."

Informational: Federal Court Arraignments
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls, on September 30, 2010, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Keith Strong, the following individuals were arraigned:
BROCKTIN JAMES RUSSO, a 20-year-old resident of Tooele, Utah, CORY MICHAEL LOUDEN, a 22-year-old resident of Helena, and DEREK GENE SHERLOCK, a 26-year-old resident of Helena, appeared on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine.
TRAVIS LEE HESS, a 29-year-old resident of Great Falls, appeared on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine.
RUSSO, LOUDEN and SHERLOCK are currently released on special conditions and HESS is currently detained.
If convicted of these charges, they each face possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison and could be sentenced to 40 years, a $2,000,000 fine and at least 4 years supervised release. Assistant U.S. Attorney Vince Carroll is the prosecutor for the United States.
The defendants pled not guilty to the charges.
The case is being investigated by the Central Montana Gang Task Force, an FBI Safe Streets Task Force Initiative. The task force was formed in 2004. A number of law enforcement agencies participated, including the Great Falls Police Department, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The task force responds to violent crimes and conducts long term criminal enterprise investigations in an ongoing effort to create safer communities.
The charge, an indictment, information or complaint, is merely an accusation and any person named as a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty. A pre-trial conference and a trial date will be set and the United States will be required to prove the allegations set forth in the indictment beyond a reasonable doubt.

Tillman, Davis lead Orioles past Red Sox
Chris Tillman took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 22nd home run and the Baltimore Orioles blanked the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Friday night in a duel between the top two teams in the AL East.
Manny Machado had three hits for the Orioles, who have won five of six - including the first two in this four-game series. Baltimore moved within 11/2 games of the division-leading Red Sox, the closest the Orioles have been to first place since May 13.
Tillman (7-2) allowed three hits and four walks in six-plus innings. The right-hander permitted only one runner to get past second base in winning his third straight start.

Lee Sang-min
Singer and music producer Lee Sang-min spoke about his divorce and the pain that emanates from it, despite the fact that it has been some seven years since his divorce from actress Lee Hye-young.
On tvN's "Baek Ji-yeon's People Inside" that aired on June 19, Lee said that the divorce was really his fault.
"I was irresponsible in all areas of life and my marriage was no exception. I should have cared more", said the former dance group member of Roo'Ra.
In regards to minor details on where the couple went wrong, Lee said, "I don't want to talk about it to anyone and would rather bury it in my heart until the day I die".
Lee and Lee tied the knot after eight years of dating in 2004. However, the marriage was short-lived, lasting only a year and two months.

5 Decorating Rules Worth Breaking

Rule to Break: All Finishes Must be the Same
"All of your hardware does not have to match," say bloggers Sherry and John Petersik of Young House Love. "The layered, collected-over-time effect that different hardware can have on a room is amazing."
