So, I woke up early and hit the gym. I tried a new cardio machine today...kind of looks like a pair of skis. I did 10 minutes of that and then headed downstairs to the weights. I started with 5lbs free weights. Then worked to the deltoid machine and then to the chest machine. I kept wanting to try this and that but my trainer said that you should never do a full body workout in one workout so I just focused on my arms and shoulders today. I also kept remembering what my trainer had told me, "You should always have a plan when you come into the gym." Well, I kind of followed that....I had a plan that I would try a new cardio machine and that I would work on my arms today but I know that he meant the specifics. I'm still a beginner to the gym so I don't know what the machines are called or what they do. I try to follow the pictures as close as possible though. I don't know what reps are either. Last my past post stated, my first meeting with a trainer was more of an assessment. Tuesday at 5am is when the REAL stuff starts and hopefully I'll gain a better understanding of everything. I'm nervous and beginning to feel my motivation about hiring a trainer go down BUT walking in the door is the hardest part for me so I think I can manage that. I've also been trying to eat more healthy. I've just decided to cut out french fries from my diet. If I do stop to eat fast food, I'll get a salad or chicken. I also want to cut ice cream out of my diet. :( ugh! It make me sad to type that. Those are the two foods that I crave the most. I also crave Root Beer and Starbucks ALL THE TIME but I don't think I can cut those out just yet. Hopefully my trainer will give me a better idea of what I need for my nutritional goals. With Starbucks, I don't drink coffee so I have is a tall pumpkin steamer or a tall soy green tea frapp. no whip. I also have with one of those drinks, a lemon loaf or pumpkin scone. Yummm! I can't stay away from those yet but I'm hoping my trainer will say that those are okay to eat. ;) Well, here are my daily goals: 1. No french fried 2 no ice cream 3. drink at least 8 cups of water 4. be IN BED by 9pm! Have a great Sunday everyone! Let's do this!
Today is actually Day4 but I didn't blog yesterday....I know bad me! I didn't have any motivation yesterday. I didn't even workout. :( I was busy yesterday morning and the mornings are the only time of day that I have any energy it seems. I was pretty disappointed in myself because of not working out and then feeling guilty for not blogging too (which is one of my goals, to blog everyday). I did however drink 8 cups of water yesterday which I haven't done in a while. So I was happy about that. I also accomplished some things around the house which I've been neglecting so that's good. I kept telling myself that it was my day off and that I would work even harder, tomorrow (today). Sorry readers, this post seems like such a downer. On to the next post...Day 4! Let's do this!
I woke up at 6am this morning (after hitting the snooze button a few times). I got out of bed and was surprised to feel how sore I am! Whew! My arms are killing me BUT it feels good! I washed my face, brushed my teeth, put my hair in a ponytail and headed out the door. When I got to the gym, I stared my 10 min. of cardio on the elliptical. It went by really fast because I watched the news. Then, I made my way to the women's workout area. I started on the machine where you sit and open and close your legs (no idea of what it's called). I worked my inner thighs for 10 minutes. That was tough but I didn't feel intimidated because I wasn't surrounded by a bunch of men like yesterday when working with my trainer. After my inner thigh workout, I worked on the tops of my thighs (no idea what this machine is called either) for 5 minutes. I woke up late this morning so I only worked out for a total of 25 min. I guess it's better than nothing though, right? I'm starting to feel the soreness in my thighs now which is good. :) I'll actually be purchasing my protein powder during my break. I'm going to check out GNC and hopefully I'll find something good. I hope the employees are knowledgeable! I had about a cup of water today already. One of my short term goals, to drink at least 8 oz. a day. My next blog, I'll post about my experience at GNC and let you all know what protein powder I chose. So my goals: 1. Drink at least 8 oz. of water 2. Purchase my protein powder 3. Working out 30 min. each day (I guess I'll have to make up for that 5 min I was short this morning) 4. Continue writing my blog everyday to stay focused and a way to keep track of my goals. (I'm more of a visual person). If I don't post again today about my experience at GNC, I'll post it in Day 3. Happy Friday everyone! LET'S DO THIS!
As of today, I have finally become serious about becoming healthier. I joined a gym about a 2 weeks ago and have gone 4 times since I joined. One night, for some reason, I was unable to sleep. I felt anxious. I had so many things running through my mind (work, my sister's pregnancy, a job that I applied for, and just random things). I suddenly got the urge to go swimming. I'm a Pisces and so I love water. Mind you, I haven't swam laps in years. So, in the morning at 6am, I drove to Walmart and bought a swim cap and goggles. (Crazy right?!) I then drove to a gym when I knew they had a pool and purchased a day pass. I swam for a good hour, taking breaks here and there. I wanted to join the gym then but it was so early in the morning that the recruitment team wasn't there yet and didn't want to wait around so I left after my swim. Probably about 5 days later, I made an appointment with the gym to join. I was then scheduled for orientation a week later. Well, today was my orientation and it was great. I learned a lot! Now in high school, I was very active. Basketball, track, and tennis were my sports. My junior year in high school, I stopped everything. Since then, I gained 50lbs! When I woke up that morning, I didn't have weight loss in my mind. I just had the urge to swim...I felt like my body needed it. Now, fast-forward to today...during the orientation, I learned that weight lifting is crucial in reaching weight loss goals. I always thought that cardio was the most important. Anyway, when I walked in, I had in my mind that the orientation consisted of a walk through of the gym and some equipment. I was DEAD WRONG. The trainer assessed probably everything about me. He asked what my fitness goals were and I said, "just to swim." He said, "what else?" I said, "I don't know." He then told me that people who join a gym and don't have a plan or fitness goals usually cancel their membership in a matter of months. He then went through some health risks associated with weight gain. Ex: Diabetes, Cancer, Stroke, & Heart Disease. My family has a history with all of these and that's when it hit me, I NEED TO GET MY BUTT INTO SHAPE! From that moment on, my attitude about my fitness changed. I ended up hiring a trainer to meet with once a week at my gym. My first appt. is next Tuesday. I can't wait but I'm also a little nervous! I just have to keep my motivation and say to myself, "LET'S DO THIS!" Also during my orientation, the trainer had me do 10 minutes of cardio on a stair stepper and then about 15 minutes of weights. Boy am I sore tonight! BUT it does feel good to have this sore feeling back after not having it for years. My main goals for this week are: 1. Work out at least 30 minutes 4 times a week. (Today will be Day 1). 2. Buy protein powder as recommended by the trainer today. 3. Drink at least 8 oz. of water a day. 4. Write a blog everyday about my new journey. Well, that's it for now. Time to hit the sack. Stay posted for Day 2. Wish me luck everyone! Let's do this!

Many Speakers Oppose Air Force Plan

Residents Concerned About Military Training in Blackwater River State Forest
The Air Force hosted a town hall meeting Wednesday night at the Milton Community Center in Santa Rosa County to discuss proposed plans for military training in the Blackwater River State Forest.
During the meeting, an Air Force official from the Pentagon spelled out details of the Gulf Regional Airspace Strategic Initiative (GRASI) and the Landscape Initiative that came out of the GRASI process. The Air Force is looking for additional space for what is described as "low-to-no-impact" training involving ground troops and the use of small aircraft, including fixed-wing planes and helicopters.
Florida Forest Service officials assured that at this point they are simply considering a request from the military, with a final decision pending completion of the National Environmental Policy Act or NEPA process and further public input. Also, there were assurances that only military activities that are in line with the mission of the state forest system would be allowed.
About 200 people listened to the presentations from the Air Force and Florida Forest Service before weighing in with their questions and concerns.
Bill Young, who says he has lived in the Blackwater River State Forest for 30 years, described the impact of current military activities on his property. "I have a major problem right now with the Air Force, helicopters flying over, C-130s driving my horses and cows through my barbed-wire fences," Young said. Young added, "We don't need this. Blackwater don't need this. The Air Force don't need this."
Patricia Edmisten of Pensacola also attended the meeting. Edmisten acknowledged the need for places for military training, but questioned if state officials had considered how people actually use the Blackwater River State Forest. "They go for the peace, the beauty, the clarity of the Blackwater River, where you might even see a sturgeon. You can see the pebbles in the sand, the water is so clear. Yes, there's the occasional plane. You can hear the water gushing in from the springs. It is a unique, gorgeous sight."
Also attending the meeting was John Veasey of Niceville. Veasey suggested there was still plenty of space for training on the Eglin Air Force Base Reservation.
"I understand that the weapons you use, requires closure of the whole range at times. But, there's no one weapon system that requires the use of the whole range," Veasey said. As for use of the Blackwater River State Forest, Veasey said "I don't want you there, don't need you there."
About two dozen individuals made public comments at the town hall meeting in Milton. In addition to the presentation by Air force officials, representatives of the Florida forest Service reassured that no decisions have been made and if approved, the forest service would have the power to halt any inappropriate training maneuvers.
A second town hall meeting regarding military training in Tate's Hell State Forest will be held on this Thursday, December 12 in Apalachicola.
The next step in the process is completion of a draft environmental impact study, which will be released and made available to public comment in February of 2014.

Derby-Lewis's wife cautions SACP on 'wider conspiracies'
Gaye Derby-Lewis warns Chris Hani's wife, Limpho, and the SACP not to make allegations of wider conspiracies about Hani's murder.
Gaye Derby-Lewis warns Chris Hani's wife, Limpho, and the SACP not to make allegations of wider conspiracies about Hani's murder.
Lawyers for Chris Hani's killer, Clive Derby-Lewis, have revealed he has only months to live during a high court application for his release.
As the architects of apartheid, it's time for black people to collectively say sorry for the system Mandela designed to exploit white people.
The correctional services department says Clive Derby-Lewis's lawyers have submitted an incomplete parole application form.
Clive Derby-Lewis - convicted of killing SACP secretary general Chris Hani - has been recommended to be granted parole.
Trust in governance institutions and leaders is declining steadily and could signal the burgeoning of a more critical citizenship, writes Kim Wale.
Convicted killer Clive Derby-Lewis has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, according to his wife Gaye.
Thousands of SACP members marched to a Pretoria prison to demand that Chris Hani's killer remains behind bars, says the party spokesperson.
Chris Hani's murderer, Clive Derby-Lewis, and his co-conspirator Janusz Waluś have been attacked in prison.
More interesting than party membership is the extent to which Marxism informed Mandela's political thinking, writes Paul Trewhela.
Photographer Nic Eppel spent six weeks in the liberation hero's Eastern Cape village. This is what he found.
A woman claiming to be Chris Hani's daughter has slammed the ANC, despite Hani's widow distancing the family from her comments.
The truth is that we do not know what Chris Hani would have done, or become, had he lived.
Mbulelo Musi is the head of communications in the department of military veterans pays tribute to Chris Hani.
Jeremy Cronin has defended Trevor Manuel over his comments that government could no longer blame apartheid for its failures.
What was supposed to be a tribute to communist anti-apartheid hero Chris Hani turned into an occasion for political sideswipes and soap-boxing.
After twenty years, what have we learnt from the ultimate sacrifice Chris Hani made, asks Jay Naidoo.
SA owes assassinated SA Communist Party leader Chris Hani a debt of gratitude for what he did during the struggle, says President Jacob Zuma.

fallen asleep in a really weird place), they may find themselves shivering in their sleep, turning over in a really vulnerable way, or clutching themselves. They're uncomfortable, and they show it. If they had a blanket, it has slipped off them as they've turned and shuddered. This is, of course, a cue for another character to come along, see their distress, and react to it—by tenderly draping a blanket (or, in less providing situations, a coat) over their shoulders, petting them on the head, and saying, "Sleep tight, X." Freed from their discomfort, X usually smiles in his or her sleep, possibly clutching the hem of their new blanket for effect - even in their sleep, they're grateful for the warmth. A variant on this scenario occurs when there's only one blanket between the two characters, and Character Y must lie down beside X and share. This version is perfect for building UST. However, the Comforting Comforter isn't always romantic. It can be used to show the affection and care between any two parties, whether they be close friends or teammates, perpetually feuding siblings, parents and children, and even old married couples. Frequently, it serves as a Pet the Dog moment for Character Y, especially if Character Y has been a Jerkass in the past to Character X — he can be nice after all, but only if nobody's awake to know about it. When done properly, it's incredibly sweet and touching. When done improperly, though, it can feel a lot like Glurge or Nightmare Fuel if played for creepy.

The present disclosure relates to a
method for introducing a hematopoietic cell into the brain of a mammal, by
administering bone marrow-derived progenitor cells into the body of the
mammal by intravenous injection. The bone marrow-derived cell is
preferably a cell that differentiates into a glial cell. The disclosure
also relates to a method for delivery of therapeutic protein molecules
into the brain of a mammal, by administering to a mammal an effective
amount of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells which contain a gene having
a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a functional therapeutic protein.
Isolated recombinant cells and a pharmaceutical composition are also
Description of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to methods
for introducing hematopoietic cells into the brain of a mammal, the
differentiation of adult bone marrow cells into glial cells, and the use
of marrow-derived glial progenitor cells as gene delivery vehicles into
the brain.
Glial cells are thought to derive
embryologically from either myeloid cells of the hematopoietic system (microglia)
or neuroepithelial progenitor cells (astroglia and oligodendrocytes).
However, it is unclear whether the glia in adult brains free of disease or
injury originate solely from cells present in the brain since the fetal
stage of development, or if there is further input into such adult brains
from cells originating outside the central nervous system (CNS).
Besides the cells of the vasculature, the brain comprises two general cell
types: neurons and glial cells. Glial cells provide physiological support
to neurons and repair neuronal damage due to injury or disease. Macroglia
(astroglia and oligodendroglia) are generally considered to be derived
from neuro-ectoderm and are believed to be developmentally distinct from
microglia (1). However, the developmental origin of microglia remains
debatable (2,3). The two major views are that they derive either from
neuro-epithelial cells (4-6) or from hematopoietic cells (i.e., monocytes)
(7,8). The extent to which cells outside the CNS contribute to the
maintenance of microglia in adults remains debatable (compare (9) and
(10)), and no such contribution to adult neurons or macroglia has been
previously described.
Heretofore, gene therapy in the brain
relied upon surgically implanting the transfected cells into the recipient
brain. It was unknown prior to our disclosure that cells of the
hematopoietic system are a source of progenitor cells for the CNS, such
that these cells can be used as a gene therapy delivery vehicle into the
We tested the ability of hematopoietic cells to contribute to the CNS, by
transplanting adult female mice with donor bone marrow cells genetically
marked either with a retroviral tag or by using male donor cells. We
monitored the appearance of the cells in the brain using in situ
hybridization histochemistry (ISHH) combined with immunohistochemistry. We
also performed double ISHH with digoxigenin and radioactively labeled
probes to analyze which cell types might be derived from bone marrow stem
cells. We detected a continuing influx of hematopoietic cells into the
brain. Marrow-derived cells were already detected in the brains of mice
three days after transplant and their numbers increased over the next
several weeks, exceeding 14,000 cells per brain in several animals.
Marrow-derived cells were widely distributed throughout the brain,
including the cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, brainstem, and cerebellum.
When ISHH was combined with immunohistochemical staining using
lineage-specific markers, some bone marrow-derived cells were positive for
the microglial antigenic marker F4/80. Other marrow-derived cells
surprisingly expressed the astroglial marker glial fibrillary acidic
protein (GFAP). These results indicate that some microglia and astroglia
arise from a precursor that is a normal constituent of adult bone marrow.
The results reported here confirm that cells derived from the bone marrow
can migrate into the brains of adult mice. Furthermore, we have found that
this migration is rapid, with numerous cells present by the third day
after transplant. These new cells are distributed throughout the brain,
and appear to reside within the parenchyma, since perfusion with PBS does
not remove them. Occasional donor marrow-derived cells were found in
association with vascular structures. Moreover, densities of donor cells
in the parenchyma paralleled the capillary density of a given region. For
instance, cortex, with fewer capillaries, had a lower cell density than
the more vascularized choroid plexus. Regions with a higher capillary
density, such as the area postrema, also had the highest density of
marrow-derived cells within the parenchyma.
Double-labeling analyses show that at least some bone marrow-derived cells
acquire microglial antigenic markers. However, we also observed many cells
positively labeled by ISHH that did not express the F4/80 antigen. This
may be due simply to a level of antigen below the limits of detection in
our assay.
Alternatively, it is possible that the F4/80 marker is expressed on
marrow-derived cells only after they fully differentiate into microglia,
while less mature microglial precursors are not recognized by the antibody
to F4/80. Nonetheless, our results strongly support the view that
hematopoietic cells outside the CNS contribute to the maintenance of
microglia in healthy adults. While a partial CNS origin of adult microglia
cannot be excluded, our data is inconsistent with an exclusively CNS
origin. Moreover, although our experiments did not examine fetal origins
of microglia, the finding of hematopoietically-derived microglia in
healthy adults is also consistent with a hematopoietic origin of microglia
in development.
Surprisingly, we found that some hematopoietic cells (tagged either with a
retroviral vector or by transplant of male cells into a female recipient)
give rise to cells other than microglia, specifically to cells that
exhibit astroglial markers. Although this observation is unexpected, it is
based on identical results in multiple animals using two independent means
of cell tagging with both cytoplasmic and nuclear markers.
The appearance of marrow-derived astroglia seems a normal process in these
animals. Because the number of marrow-derived cells detected in the brain
increased over time, their appearance does not appear to be a consequence
of the transplantation procedure itself. If appearance in the brain was a
by-product of transplantation, one would expect tagged cell numbers in the
brain to peak and then decline, which was not observed. Rather, the data
is consistent with existence of cells, amongst the populations of marrow-
engrafting cells, capable of continuous generation of progenitors that
migrated to the brain. Interestingly, cells with marrow markers were seen
in the ventricular ependyma. In fact, in many animals, marrow-derived
cells could be found concentrated sub-ependymally (Mezey & Eglitis, in
preparation). The subependymal zone is an important source of neuronal and
glial progenitors during development (24) and in adults (27). Finding
bone-marrow derived cells in this location opens the possibility that such
cells receive cues guiding their differentiation once they enter the
brain. Studies evaluating this possibility are ongoing.
No obvious pathology such as gliosis was detected in the brain of any
transplant recipient (n=46). Some recipient animals were irradiated before
receiving bone marrow transplants to see if marrow purging enhanced
engraftment and seeding of implanted cells. However, radiation dosages
were at least one order of magnitude below those known to induce
pathological changes in the CNS (29). Indeed, we found preconditioning of
recipients was not necessary. Male donor cells engrafted and persisted for
at least 10 weeks even without irradiation. Furthermore, as many Y
chromosome/GFAP double positive cells were seen with as without
irradiation. The wide distribution of GFAP-positive cells in both gray and
white matter demonstrates that bone marrow-derived progenitors are not
restricted to differentiate into a particular subclass of astroglia. That
is, marrow-marked cells contributed to both fibrous astrocytes in the
white matter and protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter.
One alternative explanation for our observing GFAP staining of cells
bearing marrow markers is that processes from endogenous astroglia
surround the in-migrating cells from the donor marrow. However, some of
our data argue against this possibility. First, cytoplasmic neoR
ISHH labeling coincided with cytoplasmic GFAP immunostaining.
Furthermore, upon evaluation of fifty to 100 male nuclei associated with
GFAP staining, no nuclei were seen that could be considered part of an
engulfing astroglial cell. If endogenous astroglia were the source of the
GFAP staining associated with donor male nuclei, one would expect the
geometry in 12μ sections to reveal the cell body and nucleus corresponding
to the putative engulfing processes in at least a few cases. After
analyzing dozens of sections, no such cases were observed.
Because only about 10% of marrow-derived cells in the brain exhibit
expression of either the microglial F4/80 antigen or the astroglial marker
GFAP, the identity of the majority of bone marrow-derived cells remains an
open question. Nonetheless, there is clearly a measurable contribution by
cells of hematopoietic origin to the glial cell population of the brain in
adult mice, which indicates that some glial progenitors reside outside the
CNS. The observation of marrow-derived astroglia in the optic tract
demonstrates that some of these marrow-derived progenitors may be similar
to the previously recognized astroglial precursor (30).
Microglia and astroglia respond differently to brain injury. In fact,
astrogliosis often appears to be a response to primary microgliosis
(31,32). There is also evidence that different brain lesions elicit
different microglial and astroglial responses (33). Our results provide a
way that gene transfer into hematopoietic progenitors can be used to
introduce genes into microglia and astroglia that then would participate
in the gliosis associated with a CNS pathology. The detection of
marrow-derived cells in brains within days of transplantation provides a
method in which genetically altered hematopoietic cells could be used to
treat acute diseases of the brain.
Although many neurotrophic factors show promise in the treatment of CNS
disorders, their use has been hindered by their inability to cross the
blood-brain barrier and by their limited diffusion into CNS tissues (34).
In addition, adverse effects have been reported after systemic
administration of some neurotrophins (35). Using marrow-derived cells to
deliver therapeutic proteins directly to the site of CNS pathology likely
would be more benign than systemic administration of toxic molecules. In
addition, using vectors with cell type-specific promoters could restrict
gene expression specifically to reactive astroglia or microglia, thereby
providing greater therapeutic precision for gene therapy of CNS disease.

What a pure waste of time.
Labour MPs Trevor Mallard and Andrew Little have publicly regretted their implication that ACC Minister Judith Collins falsely told parliament that neither she nor her office was responsible for an ACC leak.
The leak centred on an email sent to Miss Collins by Michelle Boag, a former National party president and friend of Bronwyn Pullar, at a time Ms Pullar was wrangling with ACC for continued compensation.
Following an all-day, behind-closed doors settlement conference between Miss Collins and Messrs Mallard and Little at Auckland High Court, it was confirmed the defamation proceedings had been settled and the case would not proceed to trial.
The parties would not make any further comment this afternoon.
Miss Collins handed NBR ONLINE the following statement:
Collins v Mallard & Little
The parties agree the leak of the email Ms Boag sent to the Minister and forwarded on her instructions, as the responsible minister, to the chairman and chief executive of ACC, raised an issue of serious public concern and that Messrs Mallard and Little were entitled to question who was responsible for that leak.
The parties continue to differ over whether the remarks made by Messrs Mallard and Little respectively on Radio New Zealand implied the minister falsely assured the House that neither she nor her office was responsible for the leak.
Messrs Mallard and Little have confirmed to Ms Collins that was not their intention and wish to make that clear publicly and in the event such meaning was taken, they regret it.
The parties will make no further comment on the proceeding.

Case in point is The Shape of Things, a clever, subtle exercise in artful viciousness now in its Florida premiere at GableStage. Adam (Terrell Hardcastle) is a nerdy, out-of-shape literature major at a small college in a conservative Midwestern town. To make ends meet, he works at several jobs, one of which is as a guard at a local art museum. Just as his shift ends one day, he encounters Evelyn (Claire Tyler), an enticing, brainy art theory grad student who has just stepped over the velvet ropes of a sculpture intent on defacing it with spray paint. Adam must maintain order, intent on stopping vandalism, but before he knows it, he's totally smitten by anarchic, free-spirited Evelyn. Instead of throwing her out, he asks for her phone number, and she complies by spray-painting it on the inside of his overcoat.
That's a mighty peculiar way to start a romance, but then, Evelyn's a mighty peculiar gal. She turns him on to some wild sex and videotapes their carnal acrobatics. He's taken aback but secretly thrilled. Soon she has him working out, shedding pounds, gaining a flashier wardrobe and haircut, and assuming a more assertive man-about-town stance. He even agrees to a minor nose job at her urging. His metamorphosis is not lost on his brash, bossy friend Phillip (Laif Gilbertson) or Phillip's fiancée, Jenny (Autumn Horne), who happens to be Adam's onetime flame, a girl he adored from afar but could never approach for lack of courage.
The new-model Adam takes Evelyn to meet Phillip and Jenny as the latter two plan their wedding. Suddenly, an uncomfortable four-way dance begins. For starters, Phillip and Evelyn loathe each other. Worse, Jenny and Adam like each other -- which is not only terribly inconvenient, but it's clear to both that they -- two shy, polite people -- are made for each other. They fight it for a time, but their attraction leads to a kiss, and that leads to... well, suffice it to say that the story could turn ugly if Evelyn finds out, and she does, and it does.
All the while, Adam finds he must lie and then lie some more just to keep up appearances. The result is a mordantly funny stage noir, as the hapless Adam finds that Evelyn is an Eve with more than a little evil in her.
Like all of LaBute's work, The Shape of Things is an unsettling blend of ferocity, humor, sex, and ideas; in other words, precisely the sort of show that's right up GableStage's alley. Joe Adler directs with his usual clarity of staging and trust in his acting ensemble. The young company brings together some GableStage veterans with a few newcomers. Gilbertson does well as the manipulative, edgy Phillip. As Adam, Hardcastle clearly delineates Adam's romantic dilemmas and his ensuing ethical ones. So too does Horne as Jenny, a sweet, ordinary young woman whose struggle between her innate propriety and her sudden desire for Adam puts her into a panic. All three get a workout as the story mixes and matches them in a series of two-character scenes.
But as Evelyn, Tyler seems out of step with the rest of the ensemble. Tyler, so successful as the quirky android in Comic Potential at the Actors Playhouse, seems unwilling or unable to shake that character, playing Evelyn with the same physicality and vocal inflections, the same blank stare, that seems at decided odds with the tightly wound, intellectually superior personality Evelyn is revealed to be. Sure, this might be Evelyn's intended disguise, but if so, Tyler never gets down to what may be going on underneath. Although it is certainly true that LaBute is unconcerned with what motivates his characters to behave the way they do, still Tyler's take seems rather simplistic, and what could and probably should be a tour de force performance feels more competent than compelling.
Adler's regular production team provides its usual solid design support. Jeff Quinn's colorful set, a series of sliding screens that echoes Mondrian's geometric paintings, is simple and effective. The same can be said of Daniela Schwimmer's idiosyncratic, character-revealing costumes, though Adam's sartorial transformation seems less striking than the text suggests.
Although the production merits praise, it's the writer's rush of ideas and ethical dilemmas that make the biggest impact, an original voice in the modern theater (and in film, for that matter). LaBute's own story is highly original too. Born in Detroit, raised in Spokane, he went to college as a non-Mormon at predominantly Mormon Brigham Young University. There, he became a Mormon and remains one today, living with his wife and children in Indiana. It's unclear from precisely where LaBute draws his inspiration, but his enduring fascination with the ugly impulses that bubble up beneath social niceties, his middle American characters, and his lack of pat answers remain his signature preoccupations.

We've known since January the eight teams that will visit Qualcomm Stadium in the 2014 regular season.
But when the schedule was announced on Wednesday, we learned just how impressive a slate it's set to be.
Simply put, the Q will be rocking!
"It's going to be a mad house this year," said
Last year was
"I love the Q!" said Jahleel Addae. "Their support is major. We have some of the best friends in the world and we feed off them. When we get energy from the fans it definitely gives us an advantage."
The home schedule kicks off in impressive fashion in Week 2 when the Bolts host the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks. The Chargers know they will need Qualcomm Stadium to be loud when they host Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Richard Sherman and the rest of the Super Bowl champs.
The Bolts have a trio of two-game homestands throughout the year, with the first coming in Week 4 and Week 5 when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets. After travelling to Oakland in Week 6, they return to America's Finest City to host the first of three division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Following a Week 10 Bye, the Bolts will play at home for four of the next five games starting with a meeting with their bitter rivals the Oakland Raiders, followed by an extremely rare visit by the St. Louis Rams.
After a cross-country trip to Baltimore, the Chargers return to Qualcomm for the final two home games of the year. Both games will be tough tests against two teams who faced off in last year's AFC
Without a doubt, Qualcomm Stadium is set to play host to an impressive series of games. Entering his third year in the NFL,
"Having the fans behind us is so important," the third-year tight end said. "Last year we saw the kind of impact they can have. They boosted us up and gave us extra energy when we needed it."

Professional golf has been unpredictable and unexpected this year, and it has rewarded the obscure. Not one of the top nine players in the world has a stroke play victory, and No. 10 Zach Johnson hasn't won since the first tournament of the season in Hawaii. Both Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott have had large final-round leads, only to falter and watch lesser known Russell Henley and Matt Every claim victories.
Other winners this year include Steven Bowditch, Matt Jones, John Senden, and Raleigh's Chesson Hadley. No offense to any of these up-and-comers, but almost no one in mainstream America would know them if they walked by.
So, a safe bet this weekend at The Masters is that history will repeat itself, and a lesser known player will emerge with a green jacket on Sunday. Here are a few names to consider:
Louis Oosthuizen (tied 2nd): He won the 2010 British Open and lost in a playoff here to Bubba Watson two years ago, yet is still not a big name with the masses.
Jimmy Walker (tied 5th): No one has more victories than Walker since the official season began in October. His three victories in that time include Pebble Beach, yet Walker was the unnoticed member of his group on Thursday. He's paired with Rickie Fowler and Graeme McDowell, two names that draw a large following. They're also two players that haven't won this year and trail Walker after 18 holes.
Jonas Blixt (tied 5th): Qualified for the tournament by edging out Charlotte resident Johnson Wagner at last year's Greenbrier Classic. The Swedish native had it to four under par at one point in his opening round.
With Tiger Woods at home recovering from major back surgery, the game of golf has never been more desperate for another star to win. McIlroy, Scott, or Bubba Watson winning would give the sport a shot in the arm. But if The 2014 Masters is anything like the rest of the season, expect the unexpected... to win.

Osceola historic downtown catches fire
Updated On: Nov 25 2012 08:10:00 PM CST
A massive fire has destroyed part of the historic downtown in Osceola.
Fire crews from six departments responded to the blaze at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday, and crews were still battling the fire at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
KMBC has learned that the fire broke out in a building under renovation and spread. The owner said the structure was built in the 1930s.
No one was hurt when the building collapsed on Sunday morning.
Fire officials said they think an electrical problem sparked the blaze.

Apple Will Not Crush Sirius XM
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I spend a considerable amount of time tooting my own horn. Looking back on contrarian opinions that turned out amazingly well.
While I do take more mea culpas than most people in this line of work, I'm overdue for one with respect to Sirius XM (SIRI).
Simply put, throughout 2011 and 2012, I missed horribly on the company as well as the stock. And I don't think the future, at least not in my lifetime, will shine brightly on days gone by predictions of doom for Sirius XM.
I don't understand the ins and outs of Sirius's abusive relationship with Liberty Media (LMCA) as well as TheStreet's Richard Saintvilus does so I can't rip him too hard for his take on the situation. However, I can take exception with some of the knocks he has against Sirius XM, the business and consumer service, in the above-linked article.Whenever Apple (AAPL) enters the conversation things get murky. That's because, much of the time, Apple probably shouldn't even enter the conversation. Apple's "CarPlay" is no more of a threat to Sirius XM than Pandora (P) is or the iPod was. Today, most people use their iPhones (and other smartphones) like iPods. And, even still, Sirius XM remains strong and stable. The IBM (IBM) of all media companies if you will. They're not too sexy. They don't generate headlines (unless Howard Stern does something newsworthy). And they're probably not the most dynamic and innovative company digitally and technologically. But they remain a surprisingly refreshing option on the dashboard. So let's not confound Apple's CarPlay and Sirius XM. They're two completely different things. CarPlay, for all intents and purposes, is iOS for your dashboard. In some respects, Apple would like to make iTunes Radio the default option for radio/music listening in the car, however it treads lightly and will continue to tread lightly in this respect. Apple's not boxing every other piece of content out of the car. That would be a dumb move. People like their apps -- such as the ones above -- and, by removing them, Apple would likely trigger a backlash it has no desire to deal with. Because, and this is key, Apple is not a content company.

Every year in Pakistan, many people – the majority of them women – are known to be victimized by brutal acid attacks, while numerous other cases go unreported. With little or no access to reconstructive surgery, survivors are physically and emotionally scarred. Many reported assailants, often a husband or someone else known by the victim, receive minimal if any punishment from the state.
Recently honored with a Best Documentary Short Oscar®, SAVING FACE chronicles the lives of acid-attack survivors Zakia and Rukhsana as they attempt to bring their assailants to justice and move on with their lives. The women are supported by NGOs, sympathetic policymakers, and skilled doctors, such as the Acid Survivors Foundation- Pakistan, plastic surgeon Dr. Mohammad Jawad, who returns to his home country to assist them, attorney Ms. Sarkar Abbass who fights Zakia's case, and female politician Marvi Memon who advocates for new legislation.Directed by Oscar® winning and Emmy®-nominated American filmmaker Daniel Junge and Oscar® and Emmy®-winning Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, SAVING FACE is an intimate look inside Pakistani society, illuminating each woman's personal journey while showing how reformers are tackling this horrific problem.
SAVING FACE will broadcast internationally in 2012, beginning with HBO in North America on March 8 and Channel Four in the UK.
The filmmakers would like to express our deep gratitude to Zakia and Rukhsana for bravely telling their stories on film, to our NGO partners Acid Survivors Trust International, Acid Survivors Foundation-Pakistan and Islamic Help, and to the countless other men and women dedicating their time and expertise to the campaign to eradicate acid violence.

Muslim acid attacks on women
12-Years After Acid Attack Pakistani Girl Commits Suicide
Her body reached Karachi airport from Italy earlier during the day amid protests led by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
Yunus leapt off from the sixth floor of a building on March 17, 2012 in Italy which resulted in her death. She was provided shelter in Italy after being attacked by her husband 12 years back in Karachi.
Female workers of MQM gathered at Jinnah International Airport holding placards and chanting slogans against Khar, who is also the son of former Punjab governor Mustafa Khar.
MQM leader Altaf Hussain has taken immediate notice of the incident and demanded that Khar be 'severely punished' for his acts. Other MQM leaders have also demanded action be taken against the former Punjab chief minister and veteran politician Mustafa Khar's son Bilal Khar.
"There is a termite, which is eating our country from within; it is the feudal system," remarked MQM leader Khushbakht Shujaat during the protest.
Iconic humanitarian worker Abdul Sattar Edhi was also present at the Karachi airport to receive Yunus' body.
Edhi also held the prevalent feudal system in the country to be responsible for such incidents. "They still oppress women the way it happened 8,000 years ago… they consider women to be their properties."
Tehmina Durrani, who had helped Yunus find refuge in Italy, arrived at the airport along with Yunus' family. Yunus' son had handed over the funeral responsibilities to Durrani.
Speaking to the media, Durrani said that Yunus had lived her life with courage. In earlier interviews, Yunus had expressed her desire to return to Pakistan to seek justice.
Musarrat Misbah, a veteran beautician and owner of Depilex Smile Again Foundation For Acid Burn Victims was also present at the airport.
Meanwhile, Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wasan has announced reopening of Yunus case.
The case
In 1998, Yunus was an 18-year-old resident of Napier Road's Bulbul Bazar, Karachi's red light district, when she met the then Muzaffargarh MPA Bilal Khar.
Shortly after the marriage, Yunus faced both physical and mental abuse by Khar, which lasted for three years before she eventually escaped and moved in with her mother.
An infuriated Khar allegedly took 'revenge' by pouring acid over her on May 14, 2000, as her five year old son watched. The attack left her severely burned, particularly her face. She, however, survived the attack but not before spending three months in intensive care.
Khar used his political influence to evade arrest and absconded, while Yunus's family faced difficulty in registering an FIR against him.
On October 31, 2002, Khar was eventually arrested, but released in 2003 on Rs 200,000 bail.

Los Pastores created San Fermin in Nueva Orleans because we love to party, and we wanted to help worthy causes along the way. Thanks to you, San Fermin in Nueva Orleans is one of the fastest growing festivals in Louisiana and almost certainly the fastest growing summer festival in New Orleans.
Although participation in the encierro (Running of the Bulls) remains open to the public, we ask that you consider registering to enter the festival grounds of SFNO 2014. Your registration fees help us offset the rising production costs (permits, insurance, etc.) so that we have enough green to benefit our charities – Animal Rescue of New Orleans & the MS Society of Louisiana.
Several registration options are available. VIP includes gear, open bar, viewing deck, seating & private restrooms ($75). Patron is sold out gets you in the door and gear ($25). And, Corredor gets you in the festival ($10)! Special thanks to the numerous out-of-town folks who've registered for the Corredor package as a donation to the festival. We wish you could make it.
VIP Option for Encierro
Before, during and after Saturday morning's Encierro (BullRun) you can relax, cool off, and enjoy a premium open bar without missing out on any of the action.
The VIP section boasts a private deck overlooking the festival for prime viewing of the concert stage and procession of San Fermin. A limited amount of tickets are still available. Purchase them on Friday night during El Txupinazo before it sells out.
Saturday, July 12
La Fiesta de Pantalones
First a brief quote from the American cinema classic Anchorman:
- Brick Tamland: Excuse me, Veronica?
- Veronica Corningstone: Yes? What is it, Brick?
- Brick Tamland: I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party."
Despite what the title may imply, there is no dress code regarding pants. But, we do encourage you to attend Pamplonese style: white shirt, white pants/shorts/skirt/dress, with red about the neck and waist. Consider that a starting point and get creative with your gear.
Event Details
- WHAT: Concert & cocktails featuring local musicians. Musical act is still TBD.
- WHERE: Maison at 508 Frenchmen Street!
- WHEN: Saturday • July 12th, 2014 • 4pm until you run out of fun!
- COST: FREE for ALL!

El Pobré de Mi (Poor Me)
"The things that happened could only have happened during a fiesta. Everything became quite unreal finally and it seemed as though nothing could have any consequences."
– Ernest Hemingway, from The Sun Also Rises
As the final event of San Fermin in Nueva Orleans, the annual Pobre de Mi is a chance to relax in the shade, to nurse a beautiful hangover (not to mention a beautifully-bruised backside), and to let the excitement come to you for a change. Enjoy a savory tapas brunch and specialty drinks on the Sunday following the run. Then, without having to leave your table, let us bring the 4th Annual Ernest Hemingway Celebration & Talent Contest to you. Our Hemingway Celebration features skit contests, dramatic readings and a Hemingway look-alike contest in collaboration with the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival.

Two Thrilling Contests
The 4th Annual Ernest Hemingway Dramatic Reading/Skit Contest
Draw from Hemingway's works or use your own original inventions to bring your Hemingway-inspired alter egos to life for this pageant of awesomeness. In years past, we have been dazzled by great readings, puppet shows, improv comedy routines, and skits performed entirely with stuffed animals. We have beheld musical performances, acrobatics, clowns boxing and terrific original poetry. Whatever your special talent is, bring it to the stage and release your inner Hemingway! Great prizes lie in store for winners of numerous categories.
Hemingway Lookalike Contest
Have you got the look? We want to see it! Special prizes (not to mention enduring, manly glory) go to the winners of this contest.
If you're interested in participating in any of the events listed above, please email Sunday.
"…that every day should be a fiesta seemed to me a marvelous discovery"
