Lie to Me Review: Death in the Limelight Alert!by Jim Garner at . Comments
To put it bluntly: This week's episode of Lie to Me felt like another hastily written hour to remove another recurring character. The victim? Dr. Dave Burns, Gillian's recent love interest.
Long-time watchers of the show are familiar with the fact that Cal Lightman is like a bloodhound if he senses any deception in someone. This is even truer if that person happens to be romantically involved with someone he cares about. Therefore, his near constant curiosity of Burns was to be expected.
In fact, part of the charm of recent episodes has been watching him stick his nose into Gillian's love life and having her swat it back out. So when "Exposed" opened with Lightman "coincidentally" having breakfast at the same place as Dave and Gillian, was anyone surprised?
But then I saw the glowing sign that this episode was written specifically to have Burns exit the show when he plopped down at breakfast in a restaurant and admitted freely to Lightman that he worked with the DEA and told him everything (in public, no less). Sure, Lightman has been getting more and more curious, but he was nowhere near the point that Burns needed to reveal everything.
So, why would Burns suddenly tell Lightman everything? The answer is referred to as "A Death in the Limelight." It is a very commonly used formula (a.k.a. trope) for characters that are about to be written out (by death or other methods.) Burns' exit actually reminded me a bit of Clara Musso's departure, as she too suddenly did stuff out of character.
You can bet the farm that when a recurring character suddenly start sharing their life story or doing stuff that was previously out of character for him/her, there is an exit coming up.
I really hope that the show didn't write Burns in as a recurring character and then out so suddenly so they could have Gillian back in "Heartbreak Mode" again. We went through a lot of this in season one when she and her husband split up. As mentioned previously, I really like what they have been doing with Gillian. The writers have been doing a great job of expanding her character and I would be very disappointed if they use this to tear all that work down.There was one piece of the episode that felt out of sync with the rest. That was Emily reading her grandmother's journal and the paternity test. First, why in the blue blazes of hell would Gillian walk off and leave Lightman's safe standing open?
Honestly, even if there was a fire, her first instinct would be to close it when she left the office. Second, why would Lightman keep a paternity test from 16 years ago loose in his safe? The man is a huge control freak. I would expect the letter to at least have been in with other files on Emily or Zoe not just lying loose with other mail.
Additionally, (just a pet peeve for me) did anyone think the paper looked really new for it being 16 years old? Ok, before you flame me, I know the test could be newer than 16 years old; it could new and only be a year old. But if it was, don't you think Emily would have been a bit more upset about the test given he would have had doubts for all that time? Her reaction alone told me that it was done back when she was born or not too long after.
The minor things aside, it was an acceptable episode. Lightman had some great dialog as always and I will admit that Emily is more and more like her father every day. With only two more episodes left for season two, I wonder how much of what we are seeing is setting the foundations for season three that starts in November.
What did you think of the episode? Did you feel like Burns was rushed out of the show? Do you think we can get "Team Callian" into the main stream?

I loved this show when it first started, but yes, i agree that the hasty writing in terms of story arcs (do we really need Gillian in and out of relationships so quickly?), the exagerrated characterization of Lightman (the quirks keep getting worse) etc is really pushing this show towards shark territory. The show keeps getting worse and worse. I hope the writers find the balance they had earlier. And soon.
I don't mean this to sound as cynical as it probably sounds, but I have the impression (with a lot of shows) that the writers, when they first imagine a guest character in a show, they consider how they might use him/her and sign the actor/actress to a 2, 3, 4 episode contract. That is, I have a feeling that both Musso and Burns were so hired, that their exits were scripted right from the start. I mean like if they imagined Burns, a psychologist, and thus figured something could develop between him and Gillian ... and then had to figure that if they gave him a several episode contract for a recurring character, what could they do with him (and guess someone suggested he could be an undercover DEA agent ... and from there, since the theme is Lightman discovering the truth from people who are concealing it, they had to come up with some truth he could be concealing) I'm wildly guessing -- but I can see how everything, as it turned out, is sort of logical.
Hi Alice, I have watched every episode this season, and when it comes to Dr. Burns, I have not seen any indications that they ran episodes with him in it out of order. As mentioned in review, there are only two more episodes before the short break. Even if Dr. Burns is/was in both episodes and this one was suppose to be last, Lightman was not acting nearly obsessed enough with him in this episode to warrant a full confession from Burns.
LOL. Are you kidding? You must be kidding. The whole Gillian/Burns thing felt rushed because of Fox. The Lie to Me writers have written ~subtext~ and other things into the episodes, but since Fox is screwing with the order in which the episodes air, certain things are being lost. Anyway. Kelli Williams once again proved that she is one of the most underrated actresses on television... of her scenes were FANTASTIC. She breaks my heart like no other. Tim Roth got all slouchy and territorial and brought that intensity that we've grown to love, and it was nice to see Loker/Torres/Reynolds doing something. Lie to Me just keeps getting better and better. Haters to the left. xoxo

He stands as straight as is manageable at 87 years of age and stares at the photo of the young man in uniform hanging on what they call the "Wall of Honor."
Soon he turns and maneuvers his walker so that he can sit and continue to ponder himself as a 17-year-old soldier.
Is he thinking of the buddies he lost, the homesickness, the letters from home?
He is one of twenty-two veterans who were honored this Veteran's Day at Ashley Pointe Retirement and Assisted Living.
Featured on the "Wall of Honor" are photos of twenty-one young men and one young woman – faces full of hope and promise – who left home and all they knew to protect and defend not just our country, but the rights and beliefs we hold so dear.
One became a "Top Gun" fighter pilot; another spent agonizing days as a Japanese prisoner of war.
Some served their "hitch"; others made the military their life's work. All served with honor. And all deserve to be recognized and thanked-not just on Veteran's Day, but every day.

OK, two for three isn't a bad start to a sophomore season. Whereas the first two episodes underscored 30 Rock 's good name, this one fell a bit flat for me. Jack's "big secret" about the cookie-jar collection/obsession - which I understand was supposed to be incongruous with his tough-guy personality - was simply silly. And the Steve Buscemi visit? Almost meaningless, giving a great character actor so little to do. The B-story, wherein Jenna is aghast to realize that she is losing weight - and thus could lose her Enorme contract and offer to play Ms. Pac-Man in the Atari film - also was hit-or-miss, but ultimately won a thumbs-up from me for her getting turned on by Kenneth's rudeness. "She's the wrong kind of crazy, and now I think we have to get married." Then you have Liz trying to co-baby-sit Tracy and manage his wife Angie. It's pretty hard to make the Tracys unfunny, but this bit perhaps showed us that yes, his wife does cramp his style. We like the Tracy who can indulge his need to get booby-slapped by a coked-up Russian. And an overall observation of the season-to-date: Not enough of the other TGSers, Lonny and Frank. Twofer and director guy. I'm actually trying to line up a 30 Rock Q&A, but the lack of screen time for any of the above makes it hard to pull the trigger. (I may opt for "Cerie," though, for obvious reasons, heh heh.) Sorry for the so-so take on the episode, gang, but we need to be honest and comment on the lows just as we (more frequently) celebrate the ultra-highs. Besides, it's just my opinion. The bullets: " "One day, sir, this whole city will be yours" - and then "Sanjay" getting upset by Liz's interruption. " Liz picking "an eagle with the head of a bear" as the animal that best represents her boss. " Jack taking a call from a fake phone to cut short Liz's therapist story. " Angie's "ghetto-fabulous" ring... from Brooke Astor. " Early-bird Tracy marveling that "the morning has food, TV... everything!" " The Enorme tagline: "Make him chase the chunk." " Jack's 1976 arrest at the Democratic convention, though it was just for "beating up hippies." " Jack listing his kin's liabilities, including his brother Eddie "who sells faulty sprinkler systems to elementary schools." " Jenna fretting, "I'm back to the factory-made [belt] notches!" " Buscemi assessing Jack's cookie-jar obsession: "You wish it was a gay thing. It's worse!" " Angie sniffing Tracy: "You smell like Enorme and brass polish." " Angie scoffing at a Tracy-as-Obama sketch, saying, "We support [Ohio congressman Dennis] Kucinich." " Kenneth's food airplane featuring an Indian passenger shot by an air marshal. " One of the biggest chuckles: Kenneth struggling to walk and talk once Liz gets him "thinking about it." " Flashback gag: Despondent Liz making a desperate play for... Jackie Mason?! Ewww. " Jack dismissing the idea that the cookie-jar thing is about unresolved childhood issues by... well, confirming that it is. " "I don't think [businesswoman] is a word." " Liz watching the Jordans go at it: "Oh, no, you guys start with that?!" PS. Who would you cast as Kenneth's mom's friend Ron? I want flashbacks to that!

new designers: sunjoo moon, of two minds
Interview by Isabel Marant. The two have been friends since there were fashion students in Paris.
HER CREDENTIALS: Moon has a CV full of big-name fashion houses like Cerruti, Missoni and Thierry Mugler; she also owned her own Paris boutique.
WHY WE LOVE HER: Moon has mastered that covetable West Coast-casual-meets-Parisian chic look in a way that feels totally effortless.
IM: What's the difference between designing for the French and American markets?
SM: The hardest part is that France is on the metric system! I have a tape measure with one side in inches and one side in centimeters. I still don't really understand what inches are.
Also, the turnaround is a lot faster here in America. You go into a store here and there is always new product. I do new collections all the time. In Europe I did two, maybe three, collections a year. Here I do six to eight.
IM: We're just catching onto this in Europe. It's exciting but it's also very demanding.
SM: It's taught me a lot about East Coast and West Coast style. There's a huge difference! New Yorkers are more European.
IM: I think also because of the weather. In California you don't really need fur coats. Do you miss Paris?
SM: I do miss it—and the chic Parisian women with such unique style—but in my first year In Los Angeles I was going out in the desert and finding a different kind of inspiration. The color in the desert is amazing. The light is incredible. And all of that—my time in Paris and the new experiences here in California—went into my collection.
IM: If I have one regret from design school it's not working for other big brands. My dream now would be to work in the atelier at Chanel or Dior. But at school, you did.
SM: Fifty or sixty years ago—way before our time—fashion design schools didn't exist. Fashion design was a trade that you learned at an atelier. At my first job at Cerruti, I remember that he started out at the age of 15 and the ended up in Haute Couture with Yves Saint Laurent. Back then, you would go up the ladder and teach the younger ones and then turn around. I remember at school I was sent off to be an assistant to Azzedine Alaia. He was in his own house sewing on every last button. I basically lived with him for three days before his show.
IM: It's the best experience you can have. Do you remember when we went to Jean Paul Gaultier's shows without invitations?
SM: That was our big thing. Our goal in life was to get into shows with no ticket. And to get to the flea markets at 7am on Saturday mornings.
IM: We'd go right after coming out of the disco or after working really late. I remember you always wore things that were very chic and easy. Like, on the edge of cocktail but not too dressy.
SM: My style is so influenced by music.
IM: I am a bit like you. I love working and listening to music. Right now I'm listening to Arcade Fire.
SM: I've got this song called "Lazy Eye" by an LA band called The Silver Sun Pickups, on loop all the time. There are also all these new, young Brooklyn bands as well, like The Fiery Furnaces, and The Dearloves—their lead singer Jessica has this fantastic 1970s look. Which is the other thing: so many of these rock girls look so stylish. I find it really inspiring.
You know, I think the reason why we've always gotten along so well is that we've always felt like we could never miss out on something, whether it was a concert or a fashion show or a designer at a flea market.
IM: I think we got along so well because we were different but admired each other. Plus, I had the car and you had the apartment.

New student having troulble with assessment of client - page 2
I just began my first semester of clinicals about two weeks ago. I have been able to pass 9 out of 12 of the first skills needed to enter the clinical setting. We started to do clients assessments this week but I am having... Read More
- 1Jan 26, '13 by springchick1I understand! I have a hard time with some of them too!
- 1Jan 26, '13 by ElenaTxIt does take a little bit of practice and experience to find pulses on some patients. I also always write down vital signs on a little piece of paper. Just make sure you don't have any personal info of the patient on that paper and then leave it somewhere. But I think it is all a matter of how much experience you have. In a little while you will assess patients without even thinking about it because it will be just normal
- 0Jan 27, '13 by atlnurse477I believe practice still makes it perfect! You just need more of it and I'm sure everything will just be a piece of cake for you! Don't let these petty things discourage you!
- 0Jan 30, '13 by EgriffFor my very first checkoff during my first semester, we were supposed to check each others blood pressure with the grad assistant listening on a dual tube stethoscope, and then report what we got. Well, my turn came around and I could not hear a THING! She almost failed me but finally let me go with a B. I was so upset that I cried, and I felt like I would never make it if I couldn't even find a basic BP! Now I'm in my 3rd semester of nursing school and I have to laugh to myself when I think Of it. You will be amazed at how far you've come in such a short amount of time. Things that once seemed hard will become second nature. So no stress
- 0Feb 4, '13 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNQuote from EgriffCommon problem, and often modeled by actors who don't know any better in medical dramas. The eartips of your stethoscope must be pointed anteriorly, towards the tip of your nose, because that's the anatomy of your ear canals. If you point them backward (towards the pinna, which is a misleading landmark ) the holes in the tips will be up against the wall of the ear canal and BINGO! no sound at all.For my very first checkoff during my first semester, we were supposed to check each others blood pressure with the grad assistant listening on a dual tube stethoscope, and then report what we got. Well, my turn came around and I could not hear a THING!
- 1Feb 4, '13 by eatmysoxRNAs someone mentioned above, pulses are much easier to palpate when you push harder and release slowly until you feel it. Radial is toward the thumb and between two tendons. Brachial is toward the inside of the antecubital area (what you put your stethoscope over when you take a BP... If you have trouble taking a blood pressure finding this pulse before starting makes hearing it much easier). Dorsalis pedis pulses are easiest to find if you start mid foot up from the middle toe. Posterior tibial pulses are similar to radials.. Grading a pulse is also important. Saying strong or weak is not as objective as stating 1+ or 2+. Practice on yourself and anyone you can get your hands on. Try to palpate pulses bilaterally simultaneously (except the carotid of course). With practice, you'll find pulses without difficulty.
Another thing to remember is that some people have to have pedal pulses dopplered. If you can't find it, ask the patient if they have ever had that done.
As far as remembering things goes, either go head to toe or go by system. Look up head to toe assessments on here or Google. Remember to look, listen, then feel, especially with bowel sounds and the abdomen.
Good luck!

Right now on Amazon – get a HUGE price break on the Coleman 4-Person Instant Tent - only $74.99 Shipped!
In addition to this HUGE price-drop, get $20 off $100 Coleman Purchases right now – so just add something else to your order worth about$15 and it will basically be free!
Check a couple good Coleman items you could add to your order to reach $100:

It measures a roomy 7×8 feet and is tall enough to walk around in. The roof vents and large windows keep it cool inside – but the best part is how quickly it sets up and comes down! (That's why it's called an Instant Tent!)

Did you ever wonder what an orchestral conductor and his exertions look like from the players' vantage point? Here's your chance to find out.
The Charlotte Symphony will let listeners this week sit in a new location: onstage.
The Bach and Beethoven works on the agenda don't demand a stageful of players. So the orchestra will sell tickets to seats behind the orchestra.
From there, the orchestra will sound more "visceral," said executive director Jonathan Martin. He said he has tried it.
"What you're going to hear is a great deal of immediacy and a lot of volume," Martin said. On the other hand, he added, the sound won't be as "blended" as what the audience out in the auditorium hears.
Bringing listeners onstage is part of the effort to "make the orchestra more accessible and more connected with audiences," Martin said. Banking on the popularity of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the orchestra will perform the program three nights - adding Thursday to the usual Friday-Saturday pair.
Putting part of the audience onstage won't be feasible at every concert, Martin said. But the orchestra is looking for more opportunities.
"We'll learn from this first weekend," Martin said. "I think we're going to want to do this as much as we can."

Question & Answers
Invincible Fire Imp glitch?
At the beginning of the 'Lair of Kaos' level, I know you have to defeat all the Fire Imps to reveal the teleporter that takes you farther into the level, but while replaying the level, there was one that couldn't be defeated no matter which character we were using. Is this a glitch, and how can it be fixed?
Answer from: j505re
Just restart the level.
Answer from: SkylanderDad
Not so sure it's a glitch. Restarted the level and that pesky imp is still there. In addition, it has a force field around it, which makes it look to me like it is coded that way.

Getting it Done in Washington

Oral Nutritional Supplements In The Hospital Demonstrate Significant Health And Cost Benefits In New Research
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Aug. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) A recent health economics and outcomes study, conducted by leading health economists and supported by Abbott, found that oral nutritional supplements provided to patients during hospitalization were associated with significant reductions in length of stay and hospitalization cost. Additionally, the 30-day readmission risk was significantly reduced for patients with at least one known subsequent readmission.
The study is being presented this weekend at the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) annual congress in Leipzig, Germany, where it will be highlighted as one of the conference's three "Best Abstracts." The meeting is a leading conference in clinical nutrition, bringing together participants from more than 80 countries.
The study analyzed more than 1 million adult inpatient cases in the U.S., and found that patients provided oral nutritional supplements during hospitalization benefited from:
- 21 percent, or 2.3 day, reduction in length of stay
- 21.6 percent, or $4,734, reduction in patient hospitalization cost[*]
Additionally, there was a 6.7 percent reduction in the probability of a 30-day readmission in patients who had at least one known subsequent readmission and were provided oral nutritional supplements during the previous hospitalization.The study, which also was recently published in the American Journal of Managed Care, provides insights into the economic benefits of prescribing oral nutritional supplements to adult patients in the hospital setting. "Patients identified as having nutritional deficiencies often face a longer and more difficult recovery process, resulting in higher health care costs and an increase in complication rates," said Marinos Elia, MD, BSc Hon, FRCP, Professor of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism at University of Southampton. "Research demonstrates that oral nutritional supplementation can lead to highly positive economic benefits and improved patient outcomes."

BP Plugs Spill Bill With Gas Deal
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- BP (BP) announced a sale Thursday of its natural gas liquids business in Canada to Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) for $1.67 billion.
The deal may be a plug to the $40 billion in claims connected to its 2010 oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. BP, which recently said it would sell $45 billion of upstream and downstream assets to meet costs related to the spill, has recently stumbled in sales of other businesses.
Earlier in November, a deal to sell BP's majority stake in an Argentinean oil venture called Pan American Energy for $7.1 billion fell through when its partners Bridas and CNOOC (CEO) of China objected to negotiations. That deal would have been its largest post-spill asset sale.
With Thursday's natural gas sale to Plains, BP may be back on track in cutting deals to help it pay spill victims. The company is also looking to sell refineries in Texas as part of its asset sale plan."Canada remains an important part of our portfolio of growth opportunities to meet North America's energy needs," said BP's chief executive Robert Dudley in a statement. Dudley replaced former-CEO Tony Hayward in the aftermath of the spill and announced in July 2010 that the company would look to sell $30 billion worth of assets. That number has since been raised. Since June 2010, BP has announced over $17.5 billion in assets, with just over $10 billion in sales coming from oil exploration and production assets, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Thursday's deal signals that increasingly, the company may look to divest downstream operations like pipelines and refineries. In July 2010, BP announced its largest post-spill divestitures, selling over $6 billion in U.S. and Canadian oil and gas assets to Apache (APC). As it stands, Thursday's pipeline sale to Plains is its biggest single downstream sale yet and its fifth biggest post-Macondo divestiture, according to Bloomberg data. "BP's Canadian NGL business is an asset-rich platform that significantly expands our LPG asset footprint," said Greg L. Armstrong Chief Executive of Plains All American in a statement.

Fourth- and fifth-grade members of Berney Elementary School's Student Council devised a plan to encourage the student body to donate to Walla Walla School District's food drive.
Students served hot chocolate in the morning in exchange for food items. Posters they created advertised the event and provided reminders and updates.
Students were responsible for lifting and counting the heavy cans to ensure everyone was helped with their donations.
Children who brought in extra cans were seen sharing their hot chocolate with fellow students.
This holiday season the students are learning about compassion and putting it into practice, according to Cliff Taylor, Student Council Parent Resource advisor.
Council members include Hayley Taylor, president; Ashley Halazon, secretary; and Lacee Hickman and Natalia Bloom, representatives.
The Berney lobby also hosted another positive activity. Just a few feet away from the food donation area, Hayley, Ashley, Lacee and Natalia sold holiday cards to Berney students.
For $1 each, students bought cards that bore a personal message and were adorned with candy canes to send to their friends. The holiday card fundraiser overshot its initial $100 goal.
In fact, on Wednesday, the girls, under the supervision of Kristen Duede, presented $250 from the card fundraiser to BMHS. "We are very proud of these girls," Cliff e-mailed. Danielle Orchard with the Humane Society and Kristen coordinated the event, he said.
Future activities and fundraiser ideas they discussed include assistance to the homeless, elderly, military families and Berney School.
After standing on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Chestnut Street at Melody Muffler for 25 years, the Muffler Family statues --Muffler Man, Muffy, Muffler Boy and Spot Weld the dog, have gone through some family changes, said owner Mike Hammond.
Muffy caught someone's eye and is now in residence on a main street in Redding, Calif. A new Muffler Woman, unnamed and needing suggestions for a new name, and the whole family have had makeovers, although not extreme, Mike said.
Melody Muffler often customizes sculptures for buyers of its art, which is nationally recognized and distributed.
Submit name suggestions for the new Muffler Woman to Melody Muffler, 429 S. Ninth Ave., firstname.lastname@example.com or 509-525-8600.
The winner will receive a small art sculpture.
Deadline for submissions is Jan. 31, 2010.
Etcetera appears in daily and Sunday editions. Annie Charnley Eveland can be reached at email@example.com or afternoons at 526-8313.

I worked at MassMutual as a contractor (more than an year)Pros
Flexibility, independence, exceptional training. The company is solid and its products high-end and reliable. There is a good amount of support for new agents, along with some financial help for the first year. The agencies in general do a great job, while home office is a little less helpful. It is beneficial to try this career because, even if it does not result in large amounts of sales, the training alone is well worth the time and lays an experiential foundation for the future when the economy improves again.Cons
Underwriting is a nightmare. Agents do the cold calls, get the appointments, make the sales. It is disappointing to then feel that underwriters are slow to handle the business. It leaves the frustrated agent feeling like he/she must run through a defensive line and only occasionally score. The home office staff is overworked and underpaid, which is difficult and often causes the loss of hard-won clients to competitors who have a more efficient system. Commission only is always a challenge, especially in this economy. It is recommended that one have an additional income before embarking on a career as an agent.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Encourage new people as much as possible. Be realistic with expectations. Even seasoned agents are not able to sell as many financial service products as they could before the economic crash. Please don't compare a new agent to your father who began in the 1960s. It is a new, harsher world in the finance business, with less disposable income and more govenment regulation.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

NICU vs ICC
- 0Mar 20, '03 by Emma99I have some questions for experienced nurses?
I am interested in the NICU. Our Childrens Hospital has an ICC Unit- Infant Care Center. What is the ICC? Is it like a nursery step down from the NICU where all the babies are? Or does each infant have it's own room? How many infants do you take care of at a time? Do the parents stay in the room with the infant? I am a new grad and wondering would ICC be better for me to start out in than the NICU? What is your opinion?

Mel Ott didn't look like a prototypical slugger -- he was only 5-foot-9 and 170 lbs -- but he certainly hit like one. The Louisianan played his entire career from 1926-47 for the New York Giants and led the NL in long balls six times. At the time of his retirement, he was the most prolific home run hitter in the Senior Circuit's history.
Ott has been honored with his No. 4 being retired by the Giants, induction into the Hall of Fame, and the NL's annual home run champion receiving the Mel Ott Award. He also had a very distinctive swing that included an exaggerated leg kick and bat dip, which can be seen in the video above. Happy 105th, Mel!

How to Uncover the Lowest Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates are in a nosedive right now.
Rates have dropped almost a full percentage point in the past month. You can save a lot of money over the life of your loan if you refinance now or lock in a low rate on a new mortgage. But to get the best rates available, you may have to negotiate with your loan officer. Here are a few tips on where to find the information you'll need to get the best rate possible.
Check online: Each week, BankingMyWay.com's mortgage section lists the national averages for interest rates on the most popular types of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages. While a dip in the national average may not mean your lender is dropping its rates, it certainly gives you the chance to ask why it isn't following suit.
The mortgage section lets you search by ZIP code to get rate offers from hundreds of local lenders. Nationwide, rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages currently average 5.29%, but rate offers vary greatly among lenders.For instance, in the New York metropolitan area alone, rates include interest rate offers such as 5.00% from Webster Bank (WBS), 5.125% from Pathfinder Bank (PBHC), 5.875% from Citigroup (C) and 6.25% from TrustCo Bank (TRST). Shop around: Once you get a handle on rates in your area, find out what rates you'll actually qualify for. To do that, target at least three lenders offering attractive rates. Ask each for loan information specific to your situation, which includes an interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) and a good faith estimate of the fees and points they'll charge at closing. Use the same down payment and total loan amount figures for each lender to make sure you have an easy time comparing offers.

Carrion Beetles Feeding
When an organism dies, such as the pictured American Toad, a series of decomposers appear and break it down. Some of the first insects to arrive at the scene are blowflies, and they lose no time in laying eggs which rapidly hatch into larvae, or maggots. A bit later, carrion beetles move in. Both of these insects live in dead carcasses, where they eat raw flesh and fungi. There is great competition, believe it or not, for rotting bodies, and carrion beetles such as the pictured American Carrion Beetle (Necrophila americana) have managed to find a way to eliminate some of it. They carry tiny mites on their backs which travel from carcass to carcass with the beetles, devouring the eggs of maggots as well as the smallest maggots themselves. In addition, carrion beetles secrete a strong offensive odor that irritates other insects and predators, a second effective way to reduce the number of insects competing for a corpse.

White-tailed Deer Carcass
Long before the beetles and flies move in to get their share of a dead carcass many meat eaters have usually taken advantage of the easy meal. A motion camera on a dead white-tailed deer recently captured the images of 12 scavengers over a six day period. They included an opossum, several coyotes, a raccoon, red fox, striped skunk, American crow, raven, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk and bald eagle. By the end of this time, there wasn't much left except for bare bones, which, as winter progresses, will eventually be eaten as well. Not a shred is wasted – nature knows how to recycle and has been doing it for eons.
Dog Vomit Slime Mold
Slime mold guessers are right! This is a slime mold — aptly-named "Dog Vomit Slime Mold" (Fuligo septica). Slime molds are not plants, animals, fungi or bacteria. This stage of a slime mold's life cycle is called a plasmodium, which is essentially one giant cell with millions of nuclei. The plasmodium moves by slowly flowing over the ground, gradually engulfing and consuming fungi and bacteria that are present on decaying plant matter. You often find it on mulch that is regularly watered. Dog Vomit Slime Mold is harmless to people, pets and plants. In fact, it is actually edible. In some parts of Mexico people scramble it like eggs (and call it "caca de luna").
Comb Tooth Fungus
If you take a walk in the woods right now, you'll find that overnight the fruiting bodies of a wide variety of fungi have popped up all over the forest floor, none more obvious than the white Comb Tooth fungus (Hericium coralloides). It is delicately branched and covered with fleshy spines most of which are under half an inch in length. Look for Comb Tooth on fallen hardwood branches, logs and stumps, particularly those of American Beech and maples. If you are with someone whose fungus identification skills you trust, and they confirm that you have found Comb Tooth (the fungus it most resembles, H. americanum, or Bear's-head Tooth fungus, is also edible), you are in for a treat, for it is one of our tastiest fungi.
It's a well-known fact that fungi, along with invertebrates and bacteria, are responsible for the majority of plant and animal decomposition that occurs. They are very efficient at breaking down organic material into simpler forms of matter that can then be recycled. Seeing this mushroom, the fruiting body of a fungus, undergoing the same process with which it is associated reminds me of the porcupine with a face full of quills it received from its relative.

What were the most cutting edge men of the 1950s wearing to the beach? Butt-baring barely-there swimwear, if this old reel is any indication. This fashion show, highlighting the creations of campy Brit designer Dale Cavana, features male models with shockingly tiny waists, revealing animal-print banana hammocks, and de rigeur "leisurely" knotted ties. Enjoy! [YouTube]
