This papercraft is Cheshire Cat, a mysterious pink and purple striped cat with a devious, mischievous personality from the Disney film Alice in Wonderland, the paper toy was created by Alicia Rubio. There is also a Cube Craft Version on the site.
The Cheshire Cat has a permanent smile on his face and can disappear at will. The cat is a very odd being able to reshape his body to either amuse or frighten his visitors. He's very mysterious, and in his own way, very dark. Like all members of Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat is mad, but unlike the others, he admits it with pride. All of Wonderland's inhabitants appear to hold a fear over the Cheshire Cat, even the Queen of Hearts, most likely due to the fact that he is the maddest and craziest of them all, or it could be due to his unique abilities.
His true nature in the film is highly questionable, but above all, he appears to be a completely neutral character. In many instances, he's the only being in Wonderland to show kindness and sympathy towards Alice, giving her advice on which path to take during her journey, practically acting as her wise guide to the point where she's overly joyous to see him once he returns. However, as seen during the meeting with the Queen of Hearts, the cat has a cruel sense of humor, constantly causing mishaps to purposely have the Queen's dangerous temper target Alice. This behavior carries out up into the climax, though it can be slimly argued that he caused the Queen's temper to violently erupt for the last time to assist Alice in getting home, as the climatic chase throughout Wonderland eventually leads to her awakening, as it was all just a dream.

(CNN) -- The founder of a French company that made controversial breast implants has gone on trial, accused of fraud and causing involuntary injury.
Proceedings against Jean Claude Mas, who founded Poly Implant Prothese, or PIP, and four others connected to the company continued Thursday, a day after the trial opened in Marseille.
A woman claimant in the case told CNN affiliate BFM-TV that she hoped to be able to speak during the trial "to make him (Mas) understand all he's made us suffer, everything we've felt in the past three years because of him."
Mas has consistently denied any wrongdoing, insisting that his products were perfectly safe.
He was arrested in January of last year in connection with an investigation after the 2010 cancer death of a French woman with PIP implants.
An estimated 300,000 women in 65 countries received breast implants from the company. The implants were banned in 2010, and the company went bankrupt later that year.
The implants are not approved for use in the United States.
The French government said last year that it would pay for the removal of PIP implants for women in France.
A British Department of Health study published last June found that the PIP implants do not cause cancer and aren't toxic, but that they do have a high rupture rate.
The implants are "clearly substandard," and are "significantly more likely to rupture or leak silicone than other implants," the report found.

American Minute - Mar. 26 - Richard Allen, AME founder
Richard Allen was born to slave parents in Philadelphia and sold with his family to a plantation in Dover, Delaware.
With the permission of his master, he began attending the Methodist meetings and learned to read and write.
Richard Allen was converted at age 16 and is said to have worked harder to prove that Christianity did not make slaves worse servants.
Richard Allen then invited a minister to visit and preach to his master, resulting in his master's conversion after hearing that on the Day of Judgment slaveholders would be "weighed in the balance and found wanting."
His repentant master made arrangements for Richard, now 26, to become free.
Richard Allen became a licensed exhorter and founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Their first church building was dedicated in 1794 by America's first Methodist Bishop, the circuit-riding preacher Francis Asbury.
By the time of Richard Allen's death, MARCH 26, 1831, the African Methodist Episcopal Church had grown to over 10,000 members. Richard Allen stated:
"This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and Gospel is free."

It's been ages since I posted so I thought I'd make a video letting you know why I've been so busy I haven't been able to post.
I also share with you 3 massive tips that you can use to help get your videos ranking number 1 in YouTube.
I've also joined Barry Well's video challenge (click the link for more info) and there is more on that inside the video too. A transcript of the video is below as there is some great info you're going to want to note down!
Mobile users please click this link to watch the video: Get your video ranked number 1 in youtube
Hi Nick here from Instant Profit People . com where you can learn with me direct from the experts about internet marketing.
About 4 months ago I took a video challenge from Barry wells to do my first video, so you've probably seen that already and now I've joined his 4 video challenge in 4 weeks, so this will be the first of my 4 video challenges and I'll put a link below in case you want to get a bit more information.
In this video I'm going to talk about 3 a massive things you can do to help get your videos ranking number one in YouTube and I'm also going to tell you about what I've been up to because you've probably noticed that my blog has been pretty quiet lately.
One of the reasons for that is that I just moved home and as you can see moved into this new place with a great view, check that out it looks pretty good, and I didn't have internet for a little while but that didn't stop me working on my product launch which is about to happen soon.
The big things I've been up to:
If you're watching this on my blog you can probably see the logo above. That's my new logo, it looks pretty good, and I got that done on Fiver for just 5 bucks! And Fiver you can get a lot of different things done for $5 and I'll put a link below about that as well if you want to find out more information.
I've been working on my back end sales funnel for my upcoming product launch which is going to happen very soon, Finally!
And in the mean time I've found over 5000 potential affiliates that I'll be contacting once I launch and they'll be helping me to promote my product as well.
I've also set up a Facebook page and it's almost complete. And I'll be sharing that with you once its complete. It's very close to being done.
And I've been finalising my product just before product launch which will hppen before the end of this video challenge so before the end of March I will be launching the product. Finally!
I also plan to do more videos after this challenge because I find it is a great way to connect with the audience and get a good exchange of information happening.
3 Massive tips to get your videos to rank number 1 on YouTube.
So now the big thing I want to talk about in this video or the 3 things I'd like to share with you about how you can get your videos ranking number one in YouTube.
- First tip: Make sure you have a transcript for your video. Upload and associate your transcript in YouTube with your video. YouTube will give you a tutorial on how to do this so just search for that. The key benefit is that YouTube scans your transcript, finds all the keywords and matches them to relevant searches so as people do searches that matches keywords in the transcript for the videos it will come up and help with the rankings.
- Second big tip: When you upload videos have the targeted keyword in the file name. So uinstead of uploading video 1, upload something like "affiliate marketing with nick" for example. Then YouTube instantly knows what the video is about and it will show up better in search terms.
- 3rd tip is to get backlinks to your videos. You can use a software like "unique article wizard" and link the videos in with your articles and promote online just like you would normally with back linking for your websites. So it's very similar.
Now if you don't have time to do this yourself , the article part in particular can take a bit of time, then you can use a service like "SEO Services" run by Tyrone Shum who taught me how to do the outsourcing which I've used for my business to get workers on board to help build my business quickly. So he runs a service called "SEO services" and I'll put a link below as well and they take care of helping ranking your videos and blogs highly, or your website, or whatever matter it might be.
So yes some of these will be affiliate links and I may receive a commission for it, it's important you know that, but if you don't want to use the links you don't have to you can just search the term yourself.
Now say tuned for my next video in Barry Well's video challenge because my next video I'm going to give you a sneak peek behind my new membership site and I'm going to show you how it's going to make me money even though it's a free membership site. So you're going to wanna see that. I've got some great stuff to share with you and I'll do that in the next video challenge.
Until then see you online, thanks for watching, bye bye.

Working in the United States
Instructions for Employers Petitioning for Transitional Workers in the CNMI
If you are an employer in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) you are probably wondering if the CNMI-only transitional worker or CW status is something that will work for you and your foreign employees.
The step by step information on this webpage will help you:
Step 1: Determine if you are eligible to hire a foreign worker
Are you eligible to hire a foreign worker under the Transitional Worker status?
To qualify to hire workers with CW status, you as the employer, must:
Step 2: Determine if the foreign worker qualifies for CW Status
If you are eligible to hire a transitional worker, is the foreign worker qualified for CW status?
To qualify for CW status, the foreign worker you want to hire must:
Step 3: File forms
If you are eligible to hire a foreign worker and the foreign worker you want to hire is eligible to be considered for the CW status, then you need to submit the necessary forms to USCIS.
Grant of Status
A foreign worker who is lawfully present in the CNMI may be eligible for a 'Grant of Status' and get CW status directly in the CNMI without having to obtain a U.S. visa abroad first. If you are petitioning for a foreign worker and also requesting a Grant of Status, include an $85 biometrics processing fee in the I-129CW application package. Information about Grant of Status criteria is found at www.uscis.gov/cnmi. When you request a grant of status in the CNMI, USCIS will advise you where the foreign worker must go for fingerprints and photograph for DHS to conduct the required security checks.
If petitioning for foreign workers who are requesting consular processing abroad or already have a nonimmigrant status (F-1, H-1B, etc.) you do not need to submit a biometrics fee with the application.
Step 4: USCIS contacts employer
If your Form I-129CW is approved, USCIS will mail an approval notice to you showing that the CW-1 classification has been approved. You should get the notice in 60 days. If you haven't received any correspondence from USCIS after 60 days, contact a USCIS customer service representative by calling 1-800-375- 5283 or make an InfoPass appointment at www.uscis.gov to see an officer in our Saipan Office.
Foreign worker in the CNMI
If your approved foreign worker is in the CNMI, provide the worker with the original approval notice document, which includes the worker's Arrival-Departure Record Form I-94. The worker will need this Form I-94 to indicate that he or she received approval for the Grant of Status.
Foreign worker abroad
If your approved foreign worker is abroad, send the original approval notice to the worker's address abroad. The approval notice will indicate that he or she needs to make an appointment for a nonimmigrant visa interview at the U.S. Consulate/ Embassy nearest to them for processing of a CW-1 visa application.
Step 5: Extending CW status
CW status is valid for one year. You must file a new petition for CW status on behalf of your employee or the employee must obtain another Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) nonimmigrant or immigrant classification to lawfully stay in the CNMI after that.
For more information about transitional worker status, please visit our website at www.uscis.gov/cw.

As I wrote in April when the 2009 H1N1 virus, aka swine flu, first grabbed our attention, the hallmark of the Great Flu of 1918 was that it killed the young and healthy. Early reports from Mexico indicated a similar pattern. Then the initial Mexican data was discredited as unreliable. U.S. public health officials hastily assured us that the first U.S.-Americans to die of the new flu suffered from "underlying conditions." Never mind that those "conditions" included pregnancy – which does increase the risk of flu complications, but most folks wouldn't consider a illness – and extremely common afflictions such as asthma.
Now the New England Journal of Medicine is reporting more systematic data from Mexico, and it's not at all reassuring. Here's what Gerardo Chowell and his colleagues found:
During the study period, 87% of deaths and 71% of cases of severe pneumonia involved patients between the ages of 5 and 59 years, as compared with average rates of 17% and 32%, respectively, in that age group during the referent periods.
(The full text of the study is available free online. I love the NEJM for this: they consistently provide free full content for their most important studies.)
"Familiar" seasonal flu tends to kill the very young and the very old, and the cause of death is typically pneumonia, not the flu per se. However, a series of 18 cases reported by Rogelio Perez-Padilla et al. in the same issue found that most of their patients died from the flu itself, rather than from pneumonia.
Mortality among the patients requiring mechanical ventilation was 58%, and although four patients had nosocomial pneumonia, in most of our patients, lung damage was most likely due to the primary effect of infection with influenza virus. Possible mechanisms of damage include direct injury to the respiratory epithelium with a secondary cytokine storm. We do not currently know whether our patients, especially those who died, had viremia, as was reported in association with H5N1 infection, a very aggressive variety of influenza. Coinfection with other respiratory viruses could also explain the increased pathogenicity among our patients; however, no other common respiratory viruses were found in our patients. Only three of the patients had received influenza vaccine in fall 2009, since most patients were within the age groups for which vaccine was not recommended in Mexico. It is currently unknown whether seasonal vaccination offered any protection against S-OIV infection, however. We did not find a factor that, before the onset of illness, predicted a worse outcome or death among our patients.
(Again, the whole shebang is available free online. My emphasis.)
Also, this was another young, healthy group: "More than half of the 18 case patients were between 13 and 47 years of age, and only 8 had preexisting medical conditions." Nonetheless: "Twelve patients required mechanical ventilation, and seven died."
This is cause for worry. Medical historians believe that most deaths in 1918 resulted from direct injury to the lungs, and they believe that cytokine storm may have played an important role.
I don't want to be alarmist and predict a recurrence of the Great Influenza. I just want us to be ready, especially if the virus mutates to become more virulent. To that end, I'm relieved to hear that the CDC is pursing a possible mass vaccination campaign with up to 600 million doses. I'm hoping that school-aged kids will be first in line for the shots, since they're both a vulnerable population and very efficient vectors of infection.
Oh, and I think the swine flu may have come home to my family. My brother-in-law in California has been laid low for the past several days. It looks like he'll be fine, but the probability is high that if he's got any kind of flu, it's the swinish sort. I'm hoping that he'll recover quickly and that my sister and her kids will stay healthy.

Seven-times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is back.
The motor-racing legend has signed a three-year contract to drive in 2010 with Mercedes GP, ending three years in retirement.
The announcement comes 11 days ahead of Schumacher's 41st birthday on January 3, easily making him the oldest driver in next year's championship.
Schumacher said: "The motivation is pretty straightforward. I got a call from Ross (Brawn, team principal) at the beginning of November asking me to race again, telling me Mercedes were going to be involved.
"I've never left the race track, and after three years I regained the energy I'm feeling now.
"After playing around on motorbikes, I'm ready for the serious stuff."
Schumacher was poised to make a comeback with Ferrari in the summer to fill in for the injured Felipe Massa, but had to back out because of a neck injury which he now insists is not a problem.
"Before giving the final okay, I had to make sure my neck was okay," he said.
"It wasn't okay in the summer, but it's had the time to heal completely."

"I need a police officer to come out and scare the (expletive) out of my kids," Townsend said on the 911 call. "They're not listening to me and they need to learn respect. They need to learn that lesson."
The dispatcher told the upset mother that police would not do what she asked.
"We don't come out and scare kids," the dispatcher said.
Police responded to Townsend's Indian Harbour Beach home and found the mother drunk, officials said.
Police said when they tried to arrest Townsend she kicked an officer in the groin multiple times.
Townsend was booked into the Brevard County Jail on several charges, including child neglect and battery on a law enforcement officer.
Her children are staying with relatives, police said.

This mount is great for putting on the end of a trekking pole to get the best shots while filming yourself. Be sure to make the pole thicker with duct tape or preferably Shoo Goo. You don't need to glue the mount on, just make sure the glue is thick and dry.

Starting Your Own Business: Part 1
More people are forming more different types of businesses today than at any other time in American business history. Last year, more than 820,000 new businesses were incorporated and more than 1,500,000 sole proprietorships were formed. More than a million partnerships were set up as well. Tom Peters, the business author, says that the primary driving forces of innovation in America today is in the small and medium sized business.
In a time of rapid economic expansion, in all directions, it is easier and more possible for you to start your own business and to be successful than it ever has been before. The good news is that, every single different type of person, from every single background, with every single limitation has started and built a successful business. And so can you.
The most important single quality in starting and building your own successful business is courage. Like the Starship Enterprise, you have to have the courage to go where no one has ever gone before. No matter how many other people have started and built businesses, when you embark on your first business, you will feel like you are the first person who has ever done it. And, in your terms, you are.
I have a good friend named Ivan who came over from the Soviet Union about five years ago. He did not speak a word of English and he had everything that he owned in a cardboard box tied up with string. For his first year in America, he lived in the district in New York called "Little Russia" delivering pizzas out of a Russian pizza parlor to Russians in the neighborhood who spoke his language.
But he was determined to get a piece of the American dream. For his first year, he studied English as well as American business and success ideas. After one year of delivering pizza, his English was good enough so that he got a job selling printing from business to business. In this third year, he started his own business as a printing broker and sold one million dollars of printing, earning a 20% commission for himself. The next year, he sold two million dollars worth of printing and earned $400,000 dollars. Last year, he sold three million dollars worth of printing and earning more than $600,000 dollars for himself. He recently celebrated his fifth anniversary in America.
A Vietnamese couple arrived in the United States a few years ago, penniless. The only person they knew was a cousin who had a small bakery in Houston. He took them in and gave them minimum wage jobs working in the bakery. But he was getting older and he told them that if they could come up with $30,000, he would sell them the bakery. That became their goal.
They lived in the back of the bakery, sleeping on flour sacks and putting their two children in the local schools. They got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and worked 14 and 15 hour days. They earned $8,000 per year after taxes and they saved $6,000 per year for five years until they had the $30,000 to buy the bakery.
Today, they own a chain of bakeries, they live in a beautiful home, their children are in excellent universities and they are financially independent.
74% of all self-made millionaires in America today got there by starting and building their own successful businesses. And here's an important point. Not one of these people had ever been in or owned a business before they started and built their own businesses. You do not need to have experience in entrepreneurship. You simply need to learn everything necessary and then apply it to your work as you go along. What hundreds of thousands and millions of other people have done, you can do as well.
Perhaps the best motto for small business success is the Michael Jordan advertisement for Nike running shoes, "Just Do It!"
Confucius said, "A journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step."
What does it take to start your own business in America? Absolutely nothing. You can start your own sole proprietorship, and name it after yourself, and you don't even have to register it. You can decide, this very minute, that you are going to start your own business and you just did it.
You can now stop at the nearby bank, open a bank account in the name of your company, especially if you name it after yourself, make a minimum deposit and you are on your way.
If you pick a name other than your own personal name, you will have to register it for about $25 to protect the name. But if you name the company after yourself, you don't need permission from anyone.
There is an important principle at work here. "If you build it, they will come."
Nature abhors a vacuum. If you go down to the bank and start your own company, you will create a natural vacuum in your personal universe and business opportunities will emerge to fill that vacuum.
Of course, if you have a clear idea of the kind of business that you want to be in, that is even better. But the very act of starting your own company and opening a bank account for it will cause things to happen in your life that you cannot today imagine.

Who will fill open coordinator positions?
After all, it was a year ago that TCU's Gary Patterson hired Doug Meacham and Sonny Cumbie to run an up-tempo offense in Fort Worth -- and it nearly resulted in a playoff berth. Another: Lane Kiffin's addition to the Alabama staff worked out better than many imagined. The Tide is favored to win the initial playoff.
Here's an update on many of the Power 5 coordinator vacancies. I didn't include Baylor or Ohio State's offensive coordinator positions, since the Bears will likely promote Kendal Briles and OSU will elevate Ed Warinner. That still leaves attractive offensive assistant jobs open at both schools, however.
Florida offensive coordinator
Florida AD Jeremy Foley hired Jim McElwain because of his background as an OC
Possible candidates to become Pitt coach
Sadly for Pitt, the school Chryst is leaving, his 19-19 record in three seasons actually marks progress in terms of stability. Including offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph, who will serve as interim coach in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, Pitt has had seven head coaches since 2010.
And you can add an athletic director to the final tally of those departing Pittsburgh, as the Panthers announced Steve Pederson's dismissal Wednesday night. The goal of finding a head coach who will stay for a while will fall on someone else's shoulders. Winning in the wide-open ACC Coastal would be nice, too.
That likely eliminates some up-and-comer types. Then again, Chryst seemed like a longer-term fit. Coaching hires sure would be a lot easier with an accurate crystal ball.
So, where will Pitt look this time?

Houston interested in Ohio State co-OC Tom Herman
They added that the 39-year-old Herman impressed athletic director Mack Rhoades and the school's administration.
Those familiar with the program say it is looking for someone to again make its offense as explosive as it was when Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin and Baylor's Art Briles were at UH.
This season, Ohio State finished behind only Oregon in terms of Power 5 yards-per-play offense (7.04). The Buckeyes overcame a lot at the quarterback position to accomplish that.
Ohio State lost Heisman candidate Braxton Miller to a shoulder injury midway through preseason camp in August, but Herman and OSU's coaching staff were able to turn backup J.T. Barrett into another Heisman hopeful by November.
The win propelled OSU into the first College Football Playoff. Jones, the No. 3 quarterback in August, had 257 yards and three touchdowns against the Badgers.
Herman has some familiarity with the Houston area, as well. He was the offensive coordinator at Rice from 2007-08. Rice and Houston's campuses are separated by a couple miles.

Will Wisconsin look to past assistants to fill head coaching void?
But I never got the impression that Andersen was really on the way out the door -- and especially for Oregon State.
I actually thought Andersen, 19-7 in two seasons in Madison including the 2014 Big Ten West division title, might get in the Nebraska conversation. That search, however, was over in a hurry. And so was Oregon State's once it knew it could land Andersen, the Utah native who is perhaps more of a regional fit with the Beavers.

Michigan may look outside the usual big-name college suspects
The complicating factor with interpreting Michigan's methods is the mystery man in charge of the search. Interim AD Jim Hackett has a business background, so it's not as if he regularly has been mingling with the college football bluebloods who descend on Manhattan each holiday season.
That's why, even with some of the more obvious targets out there -- Jim Harbaugh and Les Miles, among them -- I'm told Hackett could diverge from the perceived plan of "brand-name" college coaches and expand to NFL assistants and off-the-radar college guys.
One such candidate emerged Tuesday afternoon when a report surfaced that Michigan was kicking the tires on Duke coach David Cutcliffe.

Big 12 seeks answers after playoff shutout
Perhaps that was just coincidence. Or maybe the league was looking for friends after what happened this past weekend.
Being shut out of the initial College Football Playoff was a dominant part of the conversation in the swanky Waldorf-Astoria ballroom, as you'd expect.
Big 12 sources talked about scheduling, naming a champion and the odds they would look to a championship game or expansion.

Saban the most feared among contenders
When it comes to the playoff, who would coaches least like to see on the other sideline? I've ranked the top six from the playoff contenders. This is a reprise of an exercise from the spring. Alabama's Nick Saban was No. 1 back in May. Spoiler alert: He's still No. 1 now. But there is a caveat attached this time. FSU's Jimbo Fisher was No. 3 in the spring, but he has fallen in the most recent round of polling. TCU's Gary Patterson is the name on the rise.

Searching for Oregon State's next coach
Nebraska moved swiftly and intently to hire away Mike Riley, who spent the past dozen seasons at OSU, creating a new Power 5 opening in the process.
After Florida and Nebraska's moves, Kansas, Michigan and Oregon State are the major openings at the moment.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Andersen looks to push Wisconsin
Additionally, Wisconsin has been slow to evolve when it comes to paying assistants what has become customary market value elsewhere.
"He's afraid of losing Dave," a coach told me, referring to Badgers defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who should have been a Broyles Award finalist after the outstanding job he's done in 2014.
Whichever SEC teams miss out on Will Muschamp -- whether it's Auburn, Texas A&M or South Carolina -- could wind up pushing for Aranda. Each would likely offer in the $1 million per year range.
Andersen came from Utah State and is making a little more than $2 million a year. If another comparable program came with an offer, he would likely be listening -- if for no other reason than to get the administration's attention. Then again, it let the last guy walk.
The chasm between the coaches and board's wishes has been widening the past five or so years, one source said, adding that it's the biggest reason why Bret Bielema left for Arkansas.
Could Andersen be next, or will Wisconsin change with the times?
Here's a look at some of the other schools and coaches making headlines
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Who should replace Hoke at Michigan?
They are big enough names that the hiring of a permanent AD in 2015 wouldn't affect the way they did their jobs; they're bigger than the AD's office.
But what if neither Michigan Man is interested? Where would interim AD Jim Hackett and the school's administration then turn?
Michigan needs a coach who can catch up to the aggressive pace being set in the Big Ten by Urban Meyer and Ohio State. Meyer has moved the league into a new era. As positive as that is for competitive balance across the nation, it has forced discomfort from old-guard, slow-to-adapt Big Ten administrators.
I spoke this week with a Big Ten coach frustrated about his school's regents and their inability to understand that spending money is necessary to be competitive.
Michigan isn't that rigid in its thinking, but it needs a big hire to allow the program to catch up with Ohio State. That's why Harbaugh and Miles are the best fits and should be coveted. The message would be sent that Michigan is serious about regaining its footing in the league.
Also, the new staff, whenever it arrives, has work to do. There were four in-season decommitments, leaving Michigan just seven prospects pledged for the 2015 class. The recent defections caused UM to drop 11 spots to No. 38 in the latest RecruitingNation class rankings.
Who else is out there?
1. Butch Jones, Tennessee head coach

Experienced head coaches dominate Nebraska's potential candidate list
A Big Ten firing was anticipated Sunday, but Nebraska beat Michigan to an announcement.
Even with an overtime escape Friday at Iowa, athletic director Shawn Eichorst made the decision to fire Bo Pelini after seven seasons of either nine or 10 victories.
A number of people are wondering who could do better than Pelini's 67-27 record, but consider that his teams were just 3-10 against ranked opponents since entering the Big Ten in 2011.
Nebraska lost 15 games in that span, giving up an average of 42.2 points per game in those defeats. That included three losses to Wisconsin -- now Nebraska's division rival -- in which the Huskers allowed 59 points per game.
So, yes, someone could do better than that. That, along with Pelini's surly disposition, is why there's an opening.
The standard at Nebraska isn't chasing Tom Osborne's legacy; it's finishing better than third in the Big Ten West.
Here are several candidates capable
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
If Michigan replaces Hoke, two names should dominate coaching search
In all likelihood, though, Hackett's permanent replacement will be in place by the start of the 2015 football season.
What does that mean? Michigan has to hire a coaching Superman. It needs someone bigger and more established than the AD's office. Otherwise, the coach could wind up looking over his shoulder because his new boss did not hire him. The new AD might have a different idea about whom the school would like as a coach.
That requirement narrows Michigan's candidate list to two:

Will back-to-back losses spark change at Nebraska?
Nebraska lost four games in each of Pelini's first six seasons. Losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota the past two weeks have perfectly positioned the Huskers for another four-loss season.

Which teams should consider coordinator changes?
Which programs should make a hire, and which are the likeliest to do so?
Virginia Tech fits both. Those close to the program were unsure last month about offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler's future, but failure to score in four quarters Saturday against Wake Forest is a death knell.
The Hokies lost 6-3 in double overtime to the Deacons, an inexcusable and improbable loss that drops them to 5-6. With only Virginia remaining, the rivalry game will determine whether the program's streak of 21 consecutive bowl games will extend another year.
You'd think Loeffler would get a pass for the offense's issues, given the magnitude of injuries and youth Virginia Tech has dealt with this fall. I'm told, however, that head coach Frank Beamer has concerns about the inconsistency of the play-calling and flow. Beamer has become more vocal in recent weeks and implored Loeffler to call more run plays and make the offense more digestible for all the young, inexperienced players forced into action.
In 24 games (13-11 record), Loeffler's offense has averaged 4.94 yards per play. That's 109th in the FBS. Last in that span? Wake Forest.
Beamer, embattled at this point, has to make a move for one final run at the ACC.
With a number of returning offensive players, including several returns from injuries, there are reasons for hope in 2015. Texas Tech transfer Michael Brewer was serviceable before his injury. With a new offensive plan and consistency, the Hokies could give Beamer that rebound run.
Where would I start? Well, Kurt Roper is on the market, and Florida's demise had very little to do with him. He might be more spread-oriented than recent machinations, but perhaps that divergent philosophy is what the Hokies need.
Knowing the division from his Duke days, he'd be an asset. Having spent some time around him, I think he'd be a snug cultural fit.
Here are a few other coordinator spots to monitor

Color Me Pretty: Flower Inspiration
Hello Friends! This is one of those, "Stop and smell the roses" posts. Even though the blooms have all faded and summer has come to a close, we can still draw inspiration from flowers because stores still stock plenty that you can bring indoors to add color long after your garden has faded.
It is during these busy autumn days that we need some time outs, wouldn't you agree? Time to notice the subtle seasonal changes and time to enjoy what is left of summer's bounty. I feel like I am writing this post primarily for myself as I only have a few moments to sit in between getting my son down for his nap, doing the fifth load of laundry, figuring out what is for dinner and then picking my daughter up from school. We all have our various forms of daily madness and hence the need for a moment or two of quiet solitude (if we are lucky).
Creativity needs these moments.
We need these spaces in our day to take a deep breath and notice some leaves or the color of some petals or whatever else nature is offering us. Since work is important and many of you cannot go outside right now and find some flowers to smell, I thought I would gather up some of my floral photographs from the past for you to enjoy. Hopefully this brief pause will help give you some creative ideas or at least a little break from your daily routine. It is pleasure to be back here on decor8 after taking a mini break this summer to travel, and I will see you here soon with my usual Color Me Pretty column later this month.
Until then, take good care. – Leslie Shewring.

Grey's Anatomy Dominates Thurs. Ratingsby Steve Marsi at . Comments
ABC's Grey's Anatomy took back its dominant lead over CBS' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, almost doubling its adult 18-49 rating - a Nielsen 9.5 rating / 23 share over CSI's 5.0/12. That said, CBS put CSI into rerun mode, while Grey's featured the new "Don't Stand So Close to Me."
For the first time, NBC was able to show off its new four-show Thursday comedy block: My Name is Earl, The Office, Scrubs, and 30 Rock. Rock, the struggling rookie show, was able to make slight gains to a 2.7/7, rising above its season average.
This put NBC into a tie for the night with CBS, with a 4.4 rating. CBS did a smidge better in terms of share, grabbing an 11.2 number.
NBC continued to dominate the 10 p.m. time period, with ER posting 5.8/15 numbers. That bested Men in Trees, the low-rated Anne Heche-starring drama, which soared to new heights sitting behind the Grey's Anatomy audience, with a 3.8/10. Trees had been a poor player on Friday nights.
Fox, however, continues to suffer on Thursday, finishing well behind the other three networks with a 1.8/4 number for the night. A double run of Fox's first-year comedy 'Til Death posted a slightly better 2.0/5 rating and share numbers among 18-49 viewers, while The O.C. continued its ratings-challenged life this season with a 1.6/4.

You guys should watch Men in Trees after Greys it is a good show.. I don't know if you guys have the same advertisments for the show but last week they called Jack on Men in Trees McTreemy and he is hot...and a real man
It is pretty amazing when you think about it that GA is keeping pace with CSI when in comparison it is just a baby still gathering audience. It is awesome that GA is coming out ahead most weeks. I suspect anyone watching CSI has TiVo and watches Grey's later.
I believe CSI beat them 11/16. If you go to www.tv.com/greys-anatomy and click on news they usually post the ratings every week. They out did them over all during Nov. sweeps which makes me happy.
with the exception of the one repeat week, has Grey's beat CSI every week?

This edible pen makes me want to start writing
Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 1:15pm
Here's a life-changer: it's a pen, and it's made of candy. Candy!
Yep, the edible pen, conceived by design student Dave Hakkens, is made up of those little candies you find on candy necklaces. But, you know, in pen form. You can simply nibble away at it as you work, although you'll probably need to exercise some planning and self-control to not end up with a nub after five minutes of work. But hey, that's just part of the fun.

Confined and confused!
I had a baby and everythings going pretty good. Except the father came back into my life. Everything was going pretty good. I told him I didn't want a relationship with him because I was really hurt the last time and he didn't treat me very well. He basicly moved in and we were getting along great. He was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and started taking medication. It worked great. Usually it takes trials of medication to find the right one. How ever lately he's been moody. The other day I said the baby and I were going to my Grams on Wednesday do laundry and hang out. My gram loves spending time with my daughter. The father got mad and said he was going home and not coming back. I was like why? He said that my Gram holds my daughter to much when she's over there and that he has to listen to her wine when she comes back home. I have feelings for the father, but everytime he has a mood swing or wants to move back home, my emotions go out of wake. I get confused, try to understand and fix it. I hate that I do this, but I can't seem to stop. I feel like my emotions are a rollarcoaster. I feel terrible and hurt when ever he has a mood change(anger) or wants to leave. Now I'm hurt because he doesn't want my Gram to take care of my daughter. I love my Gram and she would be really hurt if she couldn't take my daughter. I also want to make the father happy to. I don't know why, he's nice most the time, but those times when he pulls his stuff makes it almost not worth it.

Article of the Week: To Pump, or Not to Pump?
Tara Dairman
August 28, 2007
Choosing the right time to try insulin pump therapy can be a complicated decision. This article focuses on the needs of children and adolescents, but the information it provides is applicable to anyone considering switching to insulin pump therapy. It covers basics of pumping, advantages and challenges of pump therapy, factors that may affect the decision, and switching back to injections if pumping doesn't work out.
Click here to read the article.
And remember that articles on a wide variety of diabetes topics are always available in our magazine archives section!
I have been a type one diabetic since 1970. My best friend is also a diabetic. She has a pump and recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She has been a diabetic almost as long as I have. I still inject, not quiet ready for the pump.

Slow progress with friends
I have some friends I'm staying with before my big move to Ecuador in a little less than 2 weeks and they are not much into forward thinking or contingency planning. A month or so before Hurricane Sandy I had convinced them to store some water. She filled a 5-gallon water dispenser and bought 3 1/2 gallons of "spring water" at the grocery store. I washed out (with bleach), rinsed, and filled some Arnold Palmer iced tea jugs (they're quite sturdy) that I saved out of the recycling bin. Soon after that we had a wind storm that knocked power out for about 24 hours and the water pump in their well was out of commission. The water we stored came in very handy.
Then Hurricane Sandy came and, although New Hampshire was hardly affected, the news was full of all the poor unprepared people who had no water, food, or gas. The value of preparedness was gaining a firmer foothold in my friends' awareness. On Sunday I built a two-tiered storage shelf over their basement oil tank and loaded it with filled water jugs. Now I'm encouraging them to invest in a one week supply of ready-to-eat foods for the family. I'd like to see them do that before I leave.
Although I am glum about my friends' prospects if/when TSHTF I accept that you can only push new ideas like survival preparation on friends and acquaintances a little at a time if you have any hope of converting them.
New Hampshire and Ecuador.

have enough food stored or money to do so, guess I'm doomed. Looks like good stuff though. Why can't we all just get stuff in bulk, get the mylar bags and food grade containers and oxy packs and make our own packs? It would be cheaper for sure, very much so.

How do I love thee? At least six are the ways.
There is no one type of love; there are many equally valid ways of loving. Researchers have consistently identified six attitudes or styles of love that, to one degree or another, encompass our conceptions of love and color our romantic relationships. They reflect both fixed personality traits and more malleable attitudes. Your relative standing on these dimensions may vary over time - being in love NOW will intensify your responses in some dimensions. Nevertheless, studies show that for most people, one dimension of love predominates.
Answering the questions below will help you identify your own love style, one of several important factors contributing to the satisfaction you feel in relationships. You may wish to rate yourself on a separate sheet of paper. There are no right or wrong answers, nor is there any scoring system. The test is designed to help you examine your own feelings and to help you understand your own romantic experiences.

Many people get sick
to varying degrees and may require hospitalization. I just recently spent a week in the hospital in a lot of pain, ending
in surgery. Not wanting to merely whine about the experience, I will use this opportunity to highlight the field of biomedical
engineering and also use it to help you navigate the complex world of biomedical vocabulary. You might also learn a bit of
anatomy, physiology, and chemistry as well.
I continue, I recently wrote an article for L'Oreal (yes the make-up and skin/hair care company) for their "For
Women In Science" Foundation. Check out "The Heart of Collaboration: How Science and Engineering Go Hand-in-Hand". My next one will be about Tissue Engineering.
Back to
my story, but first, lets look at the accessory organs of digestion in the abdomen:
The largest organ of the body is the liver (and when doctors and
scientists talk about functions and parts of the liver, they usually include the prefix hepato-, or hepat-,
"liver" from the Greek). It is responsible for filtering the blood that comes from the small
intestine. It helps to metabolize the components of your meal. It also produces a product called bile (chole- is
the prefix used for bile. You might recognize this prefix in the words cholesterol and cholera). Bile helps to make fat from
your meal in your intestine mix better in the watery secretions for digestion. Extra bile from the liver is stored in the
gallbladder for easy release into the small intestine upon signals that food is in there. Bile has a yellowish color due to
bilirubin, from the breakdown of erythrocytes (erythro-, "red", cyte-, "cell")
You might check out my Blood Cell Bakery video about red blood cells here. Bilirubin is what gives urine its yellowish color. It is what makes a very old bruise appear yellow as the blood that was
under the skin breaks down. Too much bilirubin can cause a symptom called jaundice when levels are very high in the body in
certain illnesses.
The pancreas (pan- "all" + kreas
"flesh") is an absolutely critical organ. It has two portions that can be discerned microscopically. One is an EXOCRINE
(exo-, "outside", + krinein, "to secrete") component. Digestive enzymes that are
produced by the pancreas are sent through tubes called ducts into the small intestine. These enzymes help digest fats, starches
and proteins. Recall that I filmed a gummy bear video to demonstrate the properties and the role of one protein digesting enzyme, trypsin.
Another component of the pancreas is the ENDOCRINE (endo- "internally" + krinein "to secrete") portion.
This part of the pancreas secretes, into the BLOODSTREAM, the important hormones insulin to help decreased
blood sugar levels, and glucagon, which will help the liver raise low blood sugar.
pancreas under a microscope.
The pale area is the ENDOCRINE
Darker pink is the EXOCRINE portion.
NOTE: the pancreas and the gall bladder both
have ducts that fuse to one duct called the COMMON BILE DUCT that drains into the first portion of the small intestine (the
duodenum) This plays an important role in my story.
Lets step back to about eight years ago. I had a terrible pain, like a band around my midsection over a Memorial
Day weekend. Turns out I was having a gallbladder attack. I was a bit young for it, but this would not be unheard of. Upon
further diagnosis with ultrasound (high frequency sound waves used to create images, the same technique used to see babies
during pregnancy, see this video of how ultrasound works), I was told I had numerous pigment stones; tiny, black stones in my gallbladder. Presence of stones in the gallbladder
is referred to as cholelithiasis (from the Greek: chol-, "bile" + lith-, "stone"
+ iasis-, "process") and are usually made of three components: bilirubin, calcium, and cholesterol. My
gallstones were a result of my body breaking down the pale, small, and less effective red blood cells I create due to a genetic
disorder and tendency toward iron deficient anemia and were thus mostly comprised of bilirubin. Someone with cholesterol issues
will most likely have the large cholesterol stones.
All imaging techniques used in medicine
are examples of bioengineering.
Having my gallbladder removed surgically was
not what I wanted to do at that time. I'd have an occasional attack, where a stone would travel down the bile duct with
difficulty but endured the few hours of pain with a sense of resignation.
Mid-December 2010, I was not feeling well. I was having
the classic symptoms of a gallbladder attack. It lasted for several hours, and by the evening I had some jaundice in the sclera (whites) of my eyes and dark urine. These
are bad signs, I knew it, but wanted to go to the NCBI bioinformatics workshop the next day in Chicago. I attended the workshop
during the day, checked into the hotel and in the middle of the night, experienced more pain. In the morning (I won't
say I slept), my skin was also slightly yellow, but I rationalized I was just to be sitting at a computer, so will get through
the workshop and drive home, and if I still felt poorly, I'd go to the doctor. I did place a call to the nurse just
to make sure I wasn't being too foolish (oh, I was).
As soon as the very informative workshop finished, I drove back home with severe abdominal pain, but
luckily never started vomiting, which is an even worse sign than the jaundice. Later, a nurse would say to me "You people
with a high tolerance for pain do not do yourselves any favors!" Don't bother scolding me, I have already been
scolded several times.
I was checked into
the ER in severe pain and welcomed a pain relieving opiod, a powerful type of painkiller. Would you like to learn more about
painkillers? I really enjoyed this video from an organic chemist in the UK, Professor Dave at York.
on what is to be viewed in the body, the patient is usually given a CONTRAST AGENT. Generally they are given Iodine for blood
vessels, and Barium for the GI tract. If you want to know more about iodine and barium as chemical elements, click on the links and visit my favorite videos by Periodic Videos!
The doctors determined that I did indeed have gallstones that blocked my pancreatic
duct. The pancreatic enzymes, unable to go into the small intestine, backed up and started to self-digest my pancreas! Ow!
No wonder I was in pain. This created an inflammation, which is represented in vocabulary by the suffix –itis.
I had pancreatitis.
One can have ACUTE or CHRONIC
Pancreatitis. Mine was acute.
is the difference between Acute and Chronic? Let's say you break open a rotten egg.
Before that incident, the house smelled just fine. Suddenly it didn't. This is an
acute situation. In this case, you clean it up, throw out the trash and things will return to normal fairly quickly. (An acute
health situation does not always mean it will resolve quickly or at all).
However, let's say you walk into your older brother's
room. There is a strange odor in there, permeating everything. Perhaps it is a mixture of dirty clothes and left over food.
This took a long time to accumulate and will be difficult to remedy. This is a chronic situation, probably lasting until he
moves out.
I was admitted to the hospital, rested for the night, then underwent a procedure called an ERCP.
This stands for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. Even I hesitate to pronounce the full phrase. Look at that
phrase and see if you can recognize some word roots. Perhaps you know Endo- means "inside". Traditionally, in
medicine this means inside the digestive system. Scop- is obviously a scope for viewing. An endoscope is used to view
inside the digestive tract.
How about retrograde?
This word comes from retro-, "backward" + gradi , "to go, step". The scope is a long
Let's tackle the long last word. We have Chol- for "bile" or "gallbladder"
+ angio- "blood vessels", + Pancreato—"pancreas" + "graph"-image.
It seems they want to image the pancreas and gallbladder and the associated ducts. They did this with contrast agent (iodine)
and an X-ray machine.
Lucky me, they found the stone had cleared and put a stent
in my pancreatic duct! A stent is like a tiny scaffold that holds open the duct so in case a stone was trapped, it could pass
back out. Stents are great little wonders of bioengineering. They are like a little wire scaffold that holds open the duct!
Most of you have probably heard of them for holding open blocked arteries to the heart.
The next day I was imaged using MRI, or Magnetic
Resonance Imaging. Here is a video demonstrating the science behind the MRI.
I was
given a contrast dye for the MRI, through my IV, made of Gadolinium. Again, you can visit Periodic Table of Videos to learn more.
So how was this acute case of pancreatitis treated?
Essentially, they gave my digestive system a rest for nearly
By the end of the week, I had my gallbladder removed in a procedure called a laparascopic cholecystectomy
. You have been introduced to a few of the word roots, so I'll just add the other ones. Lapara- is from the
Greek for "flank" or "abdomen". chole + kystis, bag, ektomē, "excision".
They removed the misbehaving gallbladder by making four small
incisions in my abdominal wall where they inserted the scopes and other surgical tools used to cut and extract my gallbladder.
No, I didn't ask to save the gallbladder. Sorry folks. I have no attachment to it after the ordeal I experienced, and
my curiosity to see it was not all that great, but like watching "Real Housewives", I blame that on the drugs,
One more cool thing…no stitches
or staples, just amazing superglue was used to close my incisions. Wow.
I am slowly regaining strength and I look forward to my fabulous time at Science Online 2011,
my most favorite conference—an unconference for science communicators from around the world, trying to figure out how
to best relay science information and learning in the online environment! I will be running a workshop on Video production
with Dr. Carin Bondar, and also run a online science film fest with her as well. I will also be on panels to help describe how to explain science
in blog posts as well as the perils of blogging as a woman under your own name.

Distance to Sirius
- ‹ Previous program
- 8 of 2160
- Next program ›
The brightest star of the night sky shines in the southeast on January evenings. The star is Sirius, and it's one of our closest stellar neighbors. Even so, astronomers took a long time to measure its distance. And in fact, for more than a generation, they got the distance wrong.
Astronomers measure a nearby star's distance by measuring the size of its parallax -- a tiny shift in its apparent position in the sky that's caused by Earth's motion around the Sun. It's like holding your finger in front of you and looking at it with one eye, then the other. As you blink back and forth, the finger appears to shift against the background of more-distant objects. The size of the shift tells you how far away the finger is, and the same thing applies to stars -- closer stars have a larger parallax.
But even the nearest stars are so far that their parallaxes are tiny and hard to measure. The first measurements of the parallax of Sirius, in the mid 1800s, placed the star almost 14 light-years away.
A couple of decades later, though, two astronomers in South Africa -- David Gill and William Elkin -- remeasured the parallax. Their work indicated that the star was just 8.6 light-years away -- the same distance that modern astronomers find for the star.
This distance means that Sirius is the fifth-closest star system to the Sun. The light we see from Sirius tonight left the star 8.6 years ago -- in the spring of the year 2000.

New Orleans—The lawyer for the man whose property housed Louisiana Film Studios LLC says he is cooperating with a federal criminal investigation of the studio.
Vinny Mosca says he gave investigators all documents of client George Ackel's association with Wayne Read, the studio's chief executive. He says Ackel is a victim.
The U.S. attorney's office would not confirm or deny any investigation.
Members of the New Orleans Saints invested $1.9 million in the studio, believing they were buying tax credits. State film officials say Read never applied for the credits.
Jimmy Castex, who represents former Saints player Kevin Houser, said last month that FBI agents were investigating.
A bankruptcy court hearing is scheduled Sept. 24.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
G3/S3* - IRAN/US/ISRAEL/SYRIA - Iran officials accuses USA, Israel of interfering in Syria
Released on 2012-08-22 09:00 GMT
|2011-09-13 09:40:09
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman has accused the United States and
Israel of destabilizing the situation in Syria and urged regional
countries to be vigilant.
"What causes instability and insecurity in Syria, and the Americans and
Zionists are trying to fan the flames of it in our region, is the
interference of other countries in Syria's internal affairs and the
destabilization of this country in order to create an exit for the
Zionist regime," Ramin Mehmanparast said at a news conference broadcast
live by Iran's state news channel (IRINN) on 13 September.
"Our recommendation to all regional countries is to be vigilant about
American and Zionist pricks," he said.
"That foreign states should not interfere in the internal affairs of
