Jon Hamm and Adam Scott are doing like many of us are during the holidays – bingeing on movies! (Also, romance novels. Maybe that's just me. But I've exhausted an entire year's supply of YA love stories in 10 days.) Last night, Hamm and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt were joined by Scott and his wife Naomi. Full Story

Yes. Manslinger Kate Hudson, after wrapping on her movie Earthbound with Gael Garcia Bernal, is finally getting some down time, and finally doing what she does best – slinging men. Good.

Full Story
Brides and red lips
Hathaway and Hudson in Germany today to promote their epic fail Bride Wars, a film so sh-t even the chick flick fans, never the most discerning moviegoers, could barely be motivated to Woo Girl! their way to the cinema. But Annie and Kate are nothing if not professionals. Promotion is promotion, so here they are their first stop in Europe in matching black and red lips too. Full Story
Manslinger finds a keeper?

Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office:
On Wednesday, at about 2 p.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Community Response Unit deputies, assisted by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force, served a Humboldt County Superior Court Search Warrant on a residence located at 3320 Diana Drive in Hydesville. The sheriff's office had received multiple complaints by neighbors regarding an indoor marijuana grow at the residence.

The plants were being grown hydroponically in a bedroom and garage in the residence. Approximately one-quarter pound of dried marijuana was located in the home along with evidence that the marijuana was being sold. The home was only being used to cultivate marijuana and there was no indication anyone was residing in the residence. No suspects were located on scene, however deputies have identified three suspects and warrants will be sought for their arrest. The case is being submitted to the Humboldt County District Attorneys Office for prosecution.

Asymmetric Colorblock Dress
Style # 217272
A dramatic asymmetric polyester chiffon skirt, plunging neckline and beautiful contrast trim make this bebe summer dress a total stand out. Try yours with a pair of strappy heels and statement earrings to land an instant going-out look.
- 100% polyester
- Center back to hem: 33" (84 cm)
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Asymmetric Colorblock Dress
I tried this dress looking for a dress to wear to a bday party, tried the small (140lbs 34.27.42 for ref) and it fit well for the most part. It was a little loose in the chest area (I'm 34D) but I was planning to use double sided tape anyway, the strap for the waist doesn't stretch but it fit me fine. The problem I had however was the skirt area on the side where the zipper was. It was bunched up like the zipper was either sewed wrong into the dress or maybe my hips were too big. I tried the medium but the chest area was super big and unflattering and I still had the bunching problem with the skirt. The style is super cute but I decided to get something else.

Love this dress!
This dress is beautiful! I got the black and white in XXS, which is my normal Bebe size (5'4'', 105 lbs). It is snug in the waist and there is no stretch to the fabric, but it does fit me in the waistline. I am not busty and have petite shoulders, so the top was a bit big. I had the straps taken in and now it is perfect. This dress is like a goddess dress, perfect for summer. You can't wear a regular bra with this, so you will have to go braless, I didn't want to do that so I found a plunge front backless bra and it worked great. My new favorite dress!!

Pretty Dress
I got this dress in the store in an XS. It fits high on waist as you can see...when I zip the dress up it's pretty perfect fitting on waist, which doesn't leave much room for comfy wear....my natural waist is 25inches. The red part of the dress that covers the bust is big on me, I'm a 32C. I still decided to get the dress because the back looks awesome and I can use double sided tape to help keep the bust section in place.
June 14, 2013
Perfect summer dress!
This dress is versatile enough to be worn on the beach or with heels for a night in the city. While the colors look red and yellow online, in person the dress is actually red and a bright orange, but it's still very nice. It wasn't until I put it on though, that I fell in love with it. It fits so well and is true to size. It's really lovely in person.

This place will always have a special place in our hearts. The house is very well appointed and just a sheer joy to be in. The inner courtyard, sweeping staircases, and stylish pool area add a fairy tale setting that is hard to reproduce in ANY vacation home. Me and my wife actually had a lovely private wedding ceremony out by the pool, and hired a professional photographer to capture our moment. The house is centrally located and very convenient to Disney. I highly recommend this property. Sorry Steve for taking so long to review, I'm bad about that kind of stuff!

Invite a volunteer to light the chalice while you lead the group to recite the chalice lighting words:
The thought manifests as the word
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings...
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.
— from the Dhammapada, Sayings of the Buddha
Invite the youth to check in by sharing any moral challenges they have experienced since the last meeting. If appropriate, use Alternate Activity 1 to further explore the group's challenges. If youth appear interested in discussing a particular challenge but you feel there is not enough time in this meeting, ask the person who shared it to write a short description of the challenge on the Bicycle Rack.
Tell participants that today you will talk about loyalty.

Western Australia Western Australia CITY
A seaside haven at the heart of wildflower country, Green Head brings you the best of both worlds. To the east, flora hotspot Lesueur National Park showcases some of the richest plant diversity on Earth with 820 native flowering species. While on its shores, a playful colony of Australian sea lions invites you into their world for a close encounter. Getting there is part of the adventure when you follow the 415 kilometre Indian Ocean Drive from Yanchep, just north of Perth. The journey takes three hours, but you can take your time to enjoy some of the breathtaking beaches along the way, or stop to gaze in awe at one of Australia's most unique landscapes, the Pinnacles Desert. If you're hitting the wildflower trail in spring, make Green Head your base beside Lesueur National Park. Grab your camera and snap the striking Grevillea, Leschenaultia, orchids and pearl flowers, some of which occur nowhere else on Earth. Keen birdwatchers may also spot some 100 plus species here, including the rare Carnaby's black cockatoo. More fauna encounters can be found by joining a boat tour of the surrounding islands for some fun interaction with the friendly breeding colony of Australian sea lions. Closer to town, Dynamite Bay and a string of white sandy beaches offer some of the best windsurfing conditions in Western Australia, not to mention excellent beach fishing, swimming, snorkelling and diving. These coastal waters have seen a lot of action since the first known European visitors arrived in the 1600s, sailing the trading routes from Holland to Indonesia. Several Dutch ships were wrecked on the reefs, including the Gilt Dragon and Waeckende Boey. You can retrace the steps of more recent visitors, taking the four wheel drive track to Stockyard Gully National Park. Part of the old north stock route used in the 1850s, livestock and stockmen took shelter in the caves here on their journey from Geraldton to the markets in Perth. More comfortable accommodation can be found today in Green
Moore River is the perfect coastal and river playground, with a pretty hinterland of olive groves and wildflower country. Here, one of the oldest surviving cultures on Earth shares the story of its legendary water serpent, while regular holidaymakers from Perth enjoy its great outdoors. It's an easy one and a half hour drive north from Perth along the Brand Highway to reach Moore River, and a world away from the city. The Moore River and estuary offer the ideal spots to indulge your passion for fishing and water sports, and you're an easy day trip away from some of the region's must-see attractions. Head for the world famous Pinnacles, in Nambung National Park near Cervantes, and marvel at one of Australia's most unique landscapes, formed over millions of years. Catch some action at the windsurfing capital of Lancelin. Or step into the serenity of the Spanish missionary at New Norcia - Australia's only monastic town. The history of Moore River is equally as enchanting and dates back even further than the arrival of explorer and early settler of the Swan River colony George Fletcher Moore, who visited in the area in 1836. Stay and enjoy the Wakal's creation and choose from a range of family friendly accommodation options, from caravan parks to self-contained holiday homes and beach houses.
The beachside village of Port Gregory is famed for its pink lagoon, exposed reef, spring wildflower scenery and settler history, complete with convict-era buildings and shipwrecks. Swim, dive, fish and immerse yourself in this quintessential Western Australian beach holiday spot. Just under six hours north of Perth by car, this picturesque fishing village is nestled between the beach and Hutt Lagoon, near the mouth of the Hutt River. With its five kilometres of exposed reef forming a natural harbour, Port Gregory is a sheltered aquatic playground. From the safe swimming beach to the water-skiing area, there's something for everyone. Launch and anchor your boat. Scuba dive in the clear waters. Explore the reef. Try your hand at offshore fishing, or drop a line off the jetty - rock lobster is a local favourite. A host of natural delights await on land too. In spring, colourful wildflowers blanket the surrounding countryside. Take a scenic drive through the hinterland's hills and valleys, or contact a local tour guide to ensure you see all the native flora hotspots. Or, for an adventure of a more interactive kind, try a guided self-drive quad biking tour at Wagoe Beach. It's a unique opportunity to discover the pristine Indian Ocean coastline between Port Gregory and Kalbarri. While you're exploring inland, head to nearby Lynton - a historic settlement built by convicts in the mid-19th century. The townsite was home to a depot that served as an early employment agency, recruiting convicts to work at the local Geraldine Mine and pastoral stations. Today, you can visit restored buildings, the hiring depot and Sanfords House - a must-see for history buffs. There's much to see and experience in and around Port Gregory, with an equally diverse range of accommodation options, from the town's caravan park to nearby farmstays, chalets and beach cottages. Wherever you stay, be sure to visit Hutt Lagoon at sunset when this magnificent salt lake changes colour, from mauve to pink to
The historic Wheatbelt town of Brookton gives you glimpses of what life was like before and after the arrival European settlers, with grand heritage architecture and natural habitats teeming with rare native wildlife. You can make the journey from city to Brookton country charm in less than two hours, hitting the Brookton Highway south east of Perth. This is the quickest route to reach Wave Rock - an awe-inspiring granite cliff shaped over 2,700 years to form a huge wave. Alternatively, why not head southbound at a more serene pace, following one of the world's great long-distance walk trails - the Bibbulmun Track. Stretching nearly 1,000 kilometres from Kalamunda in Perth, it passes just to the west of Brookton on its way to Albany on the south west coast. This section of the track is accessible to wheelchairs and prams and makes an ideal day walk and picnic spot. Just 10 kilometres south-west of Brookton lies another idyllic picnic setting at Boyagin Rock Nature Reserve. Walking among the powderbark, jarrah and marri trees, you'll see the bush as it was before its transformation into the Wheatbelt. Widely recognised as a significant remnant of original flora, the reserve is also a habitat for lesser-spotted fauna, including Western Australia's emblem, the numbat. If you're visiting in spring, head up to Nine Acre Rock and take in expansive views of the picturesque countryside carpeted in colourful wildflower blooms stretching to the horizon. Here, the ruins of an old stone house stand in tribute to one of the region's European settlers of the early 1900s, known as the 'Animal Doctor'. Some of Brookton's lovingly restored heritage can be enjoyed at the Old Railway Station and Pioneer Park in the centre of town, where you'll also pick up some authentic country arts and crafts. Whether you're heading to the central west or deep south, Brookton makes for a pleasant stay offering hotel and caravan park accommodation, as well as the opportunity to experience the Wheatbelt way
Leonora is a mine of outback history and heritage, from the old world grandeur of its legendary State Hotel to the simple charm of iron and hessian miners' cottages in the eerie gold rush ghost town of neighbouring Gwalia. The best way to reach Leonora is to take the three hour drive north of Kalgoorlie, following the Golden Quest Discovery Trail and allowing a little extra time to stop at some of the interpretive sites along the way. Since its early settler days, dating back to when John Forrest set up camp here in 1869, canvas tents, iron cottages and wooden shacks made way for much grander brick hotels and establishments as gold, nickel and silver mining brought fortune, growth and prosperity. That said, even today the wide main street is lit by kerosene lamps, with many characterful buildings of the early 1900s serving their original purpose, including both of the town's hotels, the post office, police station, courthouse and fire station. More of the region's rich gold rush heritage is revealed with a short drive to the ghost town of Gwalia. Lovingly restored remnants of its heyday, from establishment in 1897 to the closure of the Sons of Gwalia mine in 1963, make for an awe-inspiring journey into the region's past. Take a walk through the precinct of 20 original miners' cottages. Visit the Gwalia Historical Museum. Or spend a night in historic Hoover House - the former residence of the 31st President of the United States, Herbert Hoover, who migrated to Western Australia to work as a mining engineer prior to pursuing his political career. More accommodation options are available within Leonora itself, including the town's original hotels, a motel and caravan park, providing a welcome break for tourists en-route to Alice Springs and North West Australia. Make time for a little extra rest and relaxation with a visit to the favourite local picnic spot at Malcom Dam or the Leonora lookout at the top of Smoodgers Hill.
The Hamersley Range sits within one of Australia's largest and most spectacular national parks - Karijini. Here, you can scale Mount Bruce, Western Australia's second highest peak, and explore the depths of 100 metre canyons, revealing four billion years of the Earth's history and some of the oldest rocks on the planet. Flights to nearby Newman, Paraburdoo, Port Hedland and Karratha depart from Perth regularly and put you within two to four hours' drive of the Hamersley Range and Karijini National Park. Guided tours also depart from Tom Price, Karratha and Port Hedland. Or, if you're taking the road trip north from Perth, you'll need to allow about three days - more if you plan to make it a more enriching journey, follow the Warlu Way to discover the region's Indigenous culture and mystical legends. Hidden within the range is nature's very own playground, featuring natural waterslides and inviting pools, adrenalin-pumping climbing adventures and gentle bushwalks. And the real beauty of Karijini is that most of its amazing scenery is within easy reach. You can pull into a car park, walk 50 metres and see waterfalls rushing down canyons into cool rock pools. Abseiling and climbing tours venture deep into Knox Gorge, 'The Centre of the Earth.' Walking trails lead to the cool plunge pools of Dales, Weno and Hancock Gorges, inviting you to take a refreshing dip or enjoy a shower the way nature intended - beneath a cascading waterfall with the steep rocky cliffs of Karijini's gorges towering above. Spend the night under a star-filled sky at one of Karijini's camping facilities, well equipped with toilets, benches and gas barbecues (camping fees apply), or seek a little more comfort in the accommodation options at Tom Price. For more information on walking, sightseeing, camping, flora and fauna, stop by the Karijini Visitor Centre.
Escape to a the southern coastal town of Hopetoun, where the dramatic untouched coastline and magnificent Fitzgerald River National Park invite you to trek, swim, fish and explore one of the most bio-diverse landscapes in the world. Nestled on the shores of pretty Mary Ann Haven, three hours and 45 minutes east of Albany, Hopetoun is seven hours by road from Perth, making it the ideal place to stop on a south coast road trip from Albany to Esperance. Just nine kilometres from town, the 329,000 hectare Fitzgerald River National Park opens up before you. One of Australia's largest and most botanically significant national parks, it's renowned for its rugged hinterland, coastal scenery and more than 1,800 beautiful and rare plant species, many unique to the park. Explore this spectacular landscape in a four wheel drive, canoeing on the river or walking the many trails. In addition to 20 per cent of Western Australia's plant species, you'll find the park's shores and estuaries abound with bird life. During the winter months, you can also spot southern right whales as they come into secluded bays to calve - one of only three places in Australia where this occurs. Flanked by 200 kilometres of pristine coastline, Hopetoun boasts a sting of stunning beaches where you can swim, surf and fish. Spend a lazy afternoon on Barrens Beach, swimming, snorkelling and exploring the rock pools. Visit the blow holes and cave at East Mylies. Or take the ocean drive from Hopetoun to East Mount Barren Lookout, enjoying the breathtaking coastal scenery and vistas along the way. With so much to experience, you'll want to extend your stay. Camp with kookaburras in the beautiful bush setting of Fitzgerald River National Park, or choose from a range of accommodation options in Hopetoun, including a hotel, motel, caravan park, chalets and holiday cottages. Your appetite is equally well catered for, with everything from a la carte restaurant dining to cafes and counter meals available in the town.
Busselton's seaside suburb of Geographe sits on the long curve of beautiful Geographe Bay boasting sweeping Indian Ocean views, white sand beaches and calm turquoise waters. It's also just minutes from the centre of Busselton - twice crowned Western Australia's Top Tourism Town - and a short hop from the world-renowned Margaret River wine region. Getting to Geographe takes just two hours and 40 minutes, following the Kwinana Freeway and Forrest Highway south from Perth. Or you can opt to fly into Busselton on a 50 minute flight from Perth's domestic airport. Along its north-facing shoreline, you can take in the sunrise and sunset with a relaxing stroll or enjoy a fun-filled family day beside the sea, swimming, fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, kayaking or sailing. Venture a little further south and you'll see the longest timber-piled jetty in the southern hemisphere stretching out before you. Here, on Busselton's heritage listed jetty, you can take a 1.8 kilometre stroll or train ride over the Indian Ocean, culminating in a tour of the Underwater Observatory to view the colourful corals and sea life of Australia's best artificial reef. From the jetty, it's a short walk to Busselton's main street, where you can indulge in a little culture at the museum, modern ArtGeo Gallery and Courthouse Arts Complex. Alternatively, browse the shops and boutiques or dine on fresh local flavours. Accommodation options suit a range of tastes and budgets, including a string of beachfront resorts.
In the north of Western Australia's oldest wine region, Henley Brook serves a generous sample of Perth's Valley of Taste, the Swan Valley. Here, you can wile away a day indulging in the region's award winning wines, fresh produce, colonial heritage, arts, crafts and natural bushland. Just 30 minutes' drive north-east of Perth, Henley Brook and the Swan Valley are a world away from city life. Once you're here, hit the Food and Wine Trail on a self-drive tour, or go winery-hopping in the back of a horse-drawn wagon or chauffeured classic car. Many of the vineyards are still owned by the descendants of early European settlers, who may share their story over a fruity red in the cellar door. Alongside these charming family-run vineyards, you'll also find some major international award-winning wineries, small boutique breweries, art galleries, cafes and fine dining restaurants. If you're packing a picnic, stop by at the roadside stalls to pick up some fresh summer table grapes or other seasonal produce and take your pick from many natural beauty spots. But be sure to leave room for some gourmet local delights, from olives, cheeses and preserves to chocolate, nougat and ice creams. For a little family fun, swing by the green and play a round of super-sized golf. Discover the art, stories and traditions of one of the oldest surviving cultures on Earth at the Aboriginal art gallery. Or venture into the Darling Range beyond, taking a walk among native bush, granite outcrops and dazzling spring wildflowers. To make more than just a day of your Swan Valley escape, select from luxury self-contained cottages, bed and breakfasts and resort-style accommodation.
The biggest city in the Australian outback, Kalgoorlie is a vibrant mix of gold rush history, grand colonial buildings and immense mining operations, surrounded by some of the most dazzling spring wildflowers and eerie gold-rush ghost towns. You can get there by air, road, rail or guided tour from Perth. Flights and TransWA trains depart daily. Or, hit the Great Eastern Highway for the 600 kilometre (seven-hour) road trip from city to outback, stopping to ride one of Australia's biggest waves at Wave Rock. 'Kal', as the locals call it, was born during the 1880s gold rush, when thousands of starry-eyed prospectors made the journey east of Perth to seek their fortunes. Today, their legacy lives on in magnificent architecture and one of the world's largest open cut mines - the Super Pit. At 3.5 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide, the pit produces 900,000 ounces of gold each year and makes a mind-blowing experience for those who join the guided tour. There are riches in Kalgoorlie's centre too, particularly on Hannan Street (named after Irishman Paddy Hannan who struck gold in 1893) where you'll find a buzz of lively bars, nightclubs, cafes and restaurants. For a real slice of gold rush life and Goldfields culture, check out the Kalgoorlie-Boulder WA Museum, the Royal Flying Doctor's Visitor Centre and the art galleries featuring the works of Aboriginal and Goldfields artists. Venturing north to the vast salt pan of Lake Ballard, you'll find yourself in the largest outdoor art gallery on Earth - the Inside Australia exhibit by world-renowned artist Antony Gormley. Continue further to Leonora and the ghost town of Gwalia, and you'll stumble upon the home of America's 31st President, Herbert Hoover. Golfers should swing by the multi-million dollar international golf course that's rapidly becoming one of the world's top desert courses. It marks the beginning of the Nullarbor Links - the longest golf course on Earth. Accommodation-wise there are many options, from camp

Vikings notes [9:08 AM]
Minneapolis Star Tribune reports:
'It has been three seasons and two teams since Vikings guard Corbin Lacina played in Buffalo. But he still knows enough of Bills to be looking forward to Sunday's game. Lacina played in Buffalo from 1994 to '97 before going to Carolina for a season then coming to the Vikings. "It will make it a little more fun out there," Lacina said. "There are a lot of guys I know, guys I practiced against. Look at [defensive end] Phil Hanson and [nose tackle] Ted Washington. And linebacker John Holecek. Those guys are still there, and those are the guys we'll be going against. There will be some trash talking."'
Vikings mix wins, winces [9:07 AM]
St. Paul Pioneer Press reports:
'With an average margin of victory of only about seven points, every game has been in question well into the fourth quarter.'
Burrough aids line's versatility [9:06 AM]
St. Paul Pioneer Press reports:
'The Vikings don't feel they would have effectively been able to move John Randle from defensive tackle to end without the flexibility of John Burrough. And now that nickel-package defensive end Bryce Paup will be out for six weeks with a fracture in his right knee, Burrough's versatility also may save the Vikings a headache. "There's no question, John is versatile, and it has helped us," Vikings defensive line coach Fred vonAppen said. "We feel he can play anywhere on the line and play effectively."'
A painful first [9:05 AM]
St. Paul Pioneer Press reports:
'Defensive end Bryce Paup will be out for six weeks with a fracture in his right knee.'
Phillips goes on defense over offense [8:36 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'Phillips still stubbornly maintains that while Johnson was hit and sacked too much "it wasn't all the offensive line, certainly." He then pointed out that a "young guy" (probably running back Jonathan Linton) had missed a protection on the game's first sack. But what about all the other hits on Buffalo QBs? It defies logic that the offensive line can't be held accountable, especially since the Bills have rushed for more than 100 yards in only two of six games this season.'
Paup out 6-8 weeks [8:27 PM]
AP reports:
'Minnesota Vikings pass-rushing specialist Bryce Paup is expected to miss six to eight weeks because of a fracture in his right leg.'
Bills top TV ratings [8:25 PM]
AP reports:
'For the sixth straight week in which they've played this season, Bills games have been the most-watched program in Buffalo.'
Flutie is mum about 'promotion' to starter [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'The normally accessible Flutie did not make himself available to the media Monday as he was locked away in a room at the Buffalo Bills Fieldhouse studying film. There are a number of ways to look at why Flutie wasn't around to talk about getting his first start since Week 15 of last season. Is there so much concern about facing the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings on Sunday that more film work is needed, or is he so motivated to succeed that he couldn't break away for even a few minutes? Or could it be that Flutie doesn't want to come off as being insensitive about starting at the expense of a fallen teammate? Whatever the case, the job is his. How he handles it will have a huge bearing on how the rest of the Bills' season plays out.'
What, Wade worry? Woes multiplying in spite of win [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Week after week, the offensive linemen have botched their assignments, leaving Johnson exposed to unimpeded rushers. What Brown seemed to be saying was, we're tired of it. Give us some blocking schemes that don't get abused. Last week, Eric Moulds asked for Joe Pendry's offense to be simplified. It was a clear sign of discontent simmering within the offense. Brown's outburst, which embarrassed the coaching staff in front of 72,000 fans and a TV audience, was a more dramatic cry for help. Phillips can laugh it off all he wants. I doubt Johnson is laughing.'
Wiley, Flowers make change for the better [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'After being held to two sacks in the previous three games, the Bills recorded four in the 27-24 overtime win over San Diego on Sunday. The Bills moved Marcellus Wiley from right defensive end to the left side and put rookie Erik Flowers at right end in the nickel defense. The result was a career-high two sacks for Wiley, while Flowers recorded his first as a pro.'
Buffalo's Doug Flutie presents a new challenge for the Vikings' defense [8:35 AM]
St. Paul Pioneer Press reports:
'"Offensively, with Doug Flutie, I think they are going to recommit themselves to running the football," Vikings coach Dennis Green said. "I think Doug likes the running game with the play-action pass. We're going to have to work extremely hard in that area this week."'
Flutie inherits start for Bills [6:12 AM]
D and C reports:
'Should the Bills (3-3) upset the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings (6-0) on the road Sunday, then get past the New York Jets (5-1) at home the following week, and the offense is humming under Flutie, Phillips will be faced with a decision to make, just like he was in 1998. The big difference is that Johnson is much more entrenched as the starter and Flutie could be a salary cap cut after this season anyway.'
It's better late than never, now that Flutie will start [6:10 AM]
D and C reports:
'I also think a one-two punch of Johnson and Flutie could be effective, but we're in the minority. Perhaps Phillips would be more inclined to try it if Flutie does well in his upcoming emergency starting role and Johnson returns 100 percent healthy.'
The Last Word [6:09 AM]
Toronto Sun reports:
'In some corners, the former Argos star has a reputation as a "me-first" guy, a handle that quickly will be forgotten if he leads his team to a couple of wins, of course. In his defence, he has been dealt some rotten hands by the NFL, both by the Bills and previously the Chicago Bears. Which leads us to the crisis in waiting. What happens if Flutie leads the Bills to victories over the Vikings this Sunday, the New York Jets the following weekend and the New England Patriots after that?'
Flutie gets his shot to start [8:34 PM]
AP reports:
'"I think I learned my lesson early on. And it's not a factor of Rob gets hurt, it's a factor of it's NFL football and the opportunity will probably be there," Flutie said. "I guess we'll just take it one game at a time. I just have to prepare and get ready."'
Chargers blow 10-point lead in losing seventh straight [3:17 PM]
North County Times reports:
'And while the Chargers hand it to the Bills (3-3) for their fortitude, they also admit this one didn't need to slip away. Not on a day in which Curtis Conway and Jeff Graham each had 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. A day in which the Chargers collected 303 total yards against the NFL's No. 2 defense - first to do so in eight straight contests. A day in which the Chargers were ahead, 24-14, with about 14 minutes to play. "Definitely, we were in the driver's seat," said Rodney Harrison, who tied Seau with a game-high 12 tackles, and added a sack and interception. "We had the momentum, we felt everything was going positive, we had a 10-point lead. It just seemed like things started to fall apart. It's always something - one thing here, one thing there. It seems like that way all the time."'
Chargers come up short on key play [3:15 PM]
North County Times reports:
'It was a third-quarter play designed for the right side. Instead, it went terribly wrong for the Chargers. Faced with a third-and-1 on the Bills 33, the Chargers were primed to put a stake in Buffalo's wings. Ahead 24-14, moving the chains here would seemingly pad a cushion the inconsistent Bills might have a tough time overcoming. But Jermaine Fazande got tossed for a 2-yard loss, coach Mike Riley elected to punt, and before someone could say "Doug Flutie," Buffalo shuffled off with a victory.'
Carney fine, but Riley reluctant to use him [3:14 PM]
North County Times reports:
'It was an obvious question, after Mike Riley elected to punt on Buffalo's 35- and 36-yard lines in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Bills. Hey John Carney, you're reliable right leg OK? "Yeah," he said. So despite Carney owning the team record with two career-best 54-yard field goals, the Chargers' coach elected to punt on both occasions inside the Buffalo 37. On one, Darren Bennett pinned the Bills in at their 1 - they still scored. On the other - with 2:35 to play; he kicked it into the end zone - they still scored, to tie the game and send it into overtime. On Saturday, the winds were swirling so bad at Ralph Wilson Stadium one wouldn't consider field goals of 52 and 53 yards. Sunday? "We were very, very fortunate wind-wise," said Carney, the second-most accurate kicker in NFL history. "I had a 53-yarder in pregame." But Riley - afraid of a miss and losing the field-position battle - didn't give Carney a chance. "I was ready to go," Carney said. "But at the same time I understand percentages of long-range field goals. Coach Riley said 'punt' right away; he didn't want to give up field position in case something happened." Said Riley: "We did put them down to the 1-yard line, which I thought was great. The second time, we didn't."'
Bills celebrate overtime win against San Diego [1:35 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'"This was a big win," [Steve Christie said], "and we needed it." But will there be enough for a playoff berth?'
Ostroski's TD a lineman's dream [1:33 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'The Bills' second touchdown was bizarre as running back Jonathan Linton fumbled into the end zone when hit by former Buffalo safety Mike Dumas with center Jerry Ostroski recovering. "That's the first touchdown I've scored since I was in sixth grade and caught a long bomb in the backyard," Ostroski said. "All my life I was doomed to be an offensive lineman and not touch the football unless I hiked it. So, scoring today, was pretty cool."'
All Chargers can do is keep on playing hard [1:31 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports:
'When the announcement was made that the San Diego locker room was open after the Chargers 27-24 overtime loss, only two reporters bothered to go in.'
Riley admits musical quarterbacks was mistake [12:12 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'In breaking his seasonlong routine, Chargers coach Mike Riley didn't wait until the morning after the game to admit he had made a mistake. Instead, he stepped up to a wall of microphones after yesterday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills and acknowledged his decision to send in backup Moses Moreno to start the second quarter was wrong.'
Coaching errors dig a hole for Chargers [12:10 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'[Chargers' coach Mike Riley's] first mistake was announcing during the week that Jim Harbaugh would start the game, play the first quarter and then give way to Moses Moreno for the second 15 minutes. This isn't Colgate-Canisius. His second mistake was sticking to his decision. Pulling Harbaugh was an error. It was a mistake before Moreno came in and stunk up Ralph Wilson Stadium to such an extent I'm surprised the fans didn't run for Syracuse.'
Old Bears wake up against Bills [12:08 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'It was like old times for wide receivers Curtis Conway and Jeff Graham yesterday against the Buffalo Bills. As they did five years ago as teammate with the Chicago Bears, the two ran circles around the opposing secondary. They caught passes: 16 combined. They gained yards: 256 combined. They scored touchdowns: one each. They lost.'
Penalty turns into big gift as extra kick rescues Bills [12:07 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'"I was called because I was the last one on the line," said Ostroski, who was reluctant to take credit for saving the Bills. "It should have been called on them because they jacked with our center."'
Key plays of the game [12:05 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports:
'The Bills appeared to have scored on their second possession when they lined up for a field goal only to have holder Chris Mohr stand up and pass 37 yards to an uncovered Eric Moulds for what should have been a touchdown. But the officials ruled the ball was "not whistled ready for play" and nullified the play. Buffalo wound up punting.'
Clinton attends church while Lazio tries to pick up votes at Bills game [9:10 AM]
AP reports:
'Lazio began the day at the Buffalo Bills game in Ralph Wilson Stadium. Accompanied by his wife and two young daughters, he greeted fans in the parking lot amid tailgate parties complete with barbecues and beer. An airplane flew overhead with a banner reading "Lazio for Senate, www.lazio.com," while campaign aides handed out toy footballs bearing the message "Go Buffalo! Lazio for Senate." "I grew up a Giants fan," Lazio said, "but that doesn't mean I'm against the Bills. Today, I'm really hoping the Bills win and shut out the Chargers." His wish came true, in part: The Bills beat the San Diego Chargers, 27-24.'
Bills win a tough one, lose a QB [9:07 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'The Bills ended a three-game losing streak and leveled their record at 3-3 with a 27-24 overtime win over the winless San Diego Chargers before a sellout crowd in Ralph Wilson Stadium. The victory came despite an injury to Rob Johnson, who separated his shoulder in overtime. Johnson is expected to miss two to four weeks.'
Bills dodge lightning strike [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'Everything that looked easy was made hard by the Bills on this day. The winless San Diego Chargers made so many mistakes that Bills fans could have been lighting victory cigars by halftime. But the Bills sunk to the Chargers' level - and actually went below it for the first three quarters. It wasn't until 8:26 of overtime was played that the crowd of 72,351 at Ralph Wilson Stadium was able to breathe a final sigh of relief.'
Moulds gets the job done [9:05 AM]
Buffalo News reports:
'"He's really come through, especially in the clutch," Bills coach Wade Phillips said of Moulds who, with 560 yards this year, is on pace for his second 1,000-yard season in two years. "We look for him a lot, but he's our big gun. He's our big guy. He's always there to make plays. I'm constantly amazed by him."'

Background Physicians can adhere to the principles of professionalism by practicing high-quality, evidence-based care and advocating for just and cost-effective distribution of finite clinical resources. To promote these principles, the National Physicians Alliance (NPA) initiated a project titled "Promoting Good Stewardship in Clinical Practice" that aimed to develop a list of the top 5 activities in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics where the quality of care could be improved.
Methods Working groups of NPA members in each of the 3 primary care specialties agreed that an ideal activity would be one that was common in primary care practice, that was strongly supported by the evidence, and that would lead to significant health benefits and reduce risks, harms, and costs. A modification of nominal group process was used to generate a preliminary list of activities. A first round of field testing was conducted with 83 primary care physicians, and a second round of field testing with an additional 172 physicians.
Results The first round of field testing resulted in 1 activity being deleted from the family medicine list. Support for the remaining activities was strong. The second round of field testing showed strong support for all activities. The family medicine and internal medicine groups independently selected 3 activities that were the same, so the final lists reflect 12 unique activities that could improve clinical care.
Conclusions Physician panels in the primary care specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics identified common clinical activities that could lead to higher quality care and better use of finite clinical resources. Field testing showed support among physicians for the evidence supporting the activities, the potential positive impact on medical care quality and cost, and the ease with which the activities could be performed. We recommend that these "Top 5" lists of activities be implemented in primary care practice across the United States.

Article Extras
Updated: December 29, 2012 2:16PM
There's only one valid criteria for choosing products and services for my "best of the year" list: what stuff stands out in my mind, without my having to go back and re-read all of my 2012 columns, or check out a news site's month-by-month timeline of releases? What stuff made such an impact that it still seems important, even several months after I wrote my column?
I can often find the Best of 2012 on my desk, or in my laptop bag, or on the drives of my devices. They remained a big part of my day-to-day life after the review was over and done with. Even the loaner hardware that I've long-since returned leaves behind a powerful impression, if the device deserves a "Best Of" tag.
Microsoft Office 2013
Maybe the most miraculous update that any company pulled off in 2012 was Microsoft Office 2013. Historically, Office has been about as exciting as a beige cubicle divider, but this latest edition is...jeez, I'm trying, but my fingers refuse to type the word "exciting." Nonetheless: Microsoft has revitalized the whole suite by elevating "the cloud" from a buzzword into a mandate. They've altered Office's architecture to allow its apps and features to be projected pretty much anywhere. The full app will "stream" to any Windows machine. Any computer with a modern browser can access a familiar-looking and surprisingly feature-rich set of Office apps. And SkyDrive has become the most flexible, powerful, and rational cloud storage and document sharing system available.
Sony RX100
Over the past three years, compact cameras have been getting better and better. But it was Sony's RX100 which introduced a new phrase into the consumer debate: "Why on earth would you even want an SLR?" The RX100 is priced like one, to be sure. Yet $650 doesn't seem like a lot of money when you look at the quality of its images, which are barely distinguishable from what you'd create with an interchangeable lens camera costing hundreds more. And it easily fits in a shirt pocket...meaning, you're more likely to have it at hand when wonderful things are happening around you.
Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II
If you set aside a U.S. district court's billion-dollar judgment against Samsung in their intellectual property dispute with Apple — and if you wait ten months, another court might beat you to it — Samsung had a terrific year. The Galaxy S III and the Note II are beautifully-designed phones that nimbly transition from communication device to entertainment player to reader to business computer, and the choice of sizes provide consumers with an option for every comfort zone. Just a year ago, a phone with a 5.5" screen seemed absurd to me. Today, the Note II asks me why I'd want to buy and carry both a phone and a compact tablet, or ebook reader. I don't have a good answer.
Android 4.2
Samsung's great year is partly the residue of Android's huge leap forward. With version 4.2, Android clearly stopped defining itself as a response to iOS. It's an OS that can inspire Apple just as much as iOS...OK, let's be charitable and stick with "inspired"...Google.
Google Nexus 7
Really, Android 4.2 and the Nexus 7 tablet should almost be the same item on the list. The Nexus 7 is so valuable because of the OS, and as a Nexus product, it's one of few Android devices that shows the operating system off to its full advantage. It's one hell of a great tablet, at a $199 price point that brings post-PC computing to a much wider range of people than even the $329 iPad Mini; in fact, it might be the greatest bargain in the entire computing market. It's a cheap tablet, but it's not a cheaply-made one. And it certainly doesn't lack features. In fact, its screen is of a higher quality than the $329 iPad Mini, and it includes GPS...which is a $130 option for the iPad.
iPhoto for iOS
iPhoto demonstrates every strength of iOS as an application platform. Its feature set shames many of the consumer photo editors available for Windows and MacOS. More than that, the "rightness" of editing photos directly with my fingertips is so obvious that using the app has changed my thoughts about multitouch on desktop PCs. You put your finger on a spot in the sky, you rub rub rub, and the spot's gone. You don't even have to spit on your finger first.
On my iPad, iPhoto is another reason why I can leave my laptop at home when I travel. On an iPhone, it's so powerful that I think iPhoto might have been given to us by grateful space aliens after Superman saved their homeworld.
Did Comixology suddenly manifest itself in 2012? Of course not. But they notably elevated their game and entered a new phase. The Comixology comic book store and reader is the third-highest-grossing iPad app of 2012; the company has been quick and aggressive in supporting new hardware, rolling out a new ultra-high-definition comic book format for the 2012 iPads' Retina-grade display and introducing a Modern-style version of their app for Windows 8 while the new OS was still in its consumer preview phase; they introduced a new distribution program that makes it easier for independent comic book creators to get their books into the Comixology store; they've signed a deal that puts Dilbert, Doonesbury; and shortly after selling their 50,000,000th comic...they sold their 100,000,000th.
Add it all up, and Comixology is now in their "with great power comes great responsibility phase." The good news for comics readers? While purchasing content locked inside a DRM scheme is neither ideal nor desirable, Comixology is clearly here to stay...and they'll try very hard to make it easy for you to read your comics on whatever screen happens to be closest to you at any given moment.
The Best New Product Of 2012
What produce of 2012 wins the overall crown? It has to be the third and fourth-generation iPads, which I shall cheerfully glom together into one winner.
They're much faster than the 2011 edition, yes, but the magazine-quality Retina screen that elevates a familiar tablet, already accustomed to praise, to a new level of worshipful grace. The brain shifts into a whole different mode of understanding once it's no longer able to perceive the pixels on a screen. The level of reality of the content of the iPad 4's screen is as valid as the David Bowie poster on my wall or this bottle of water on my desk.
It seems impossible to overstate the impact that the iPad has had on how I work and play. I carry it everywhere because it enables and inspires me to work better, have more fun, and be more creatively experimental. It only wants to please me, whether I want it to be a book, a set of watercolor paints, a word processor, a musical instrument, or the screen of my Mac back at the office.
Despite being a workhorse device that earns back every penny of its purchase price...it's a wonderful object to hold and behold. Many of my reviews of Apple's 2012 products contained at least one impatient sigh, as I noted a useful feature that had been deleted or kneecapped for what appeared to be purely aesthetic reasons. That's not the case with the iPad. It's Apple's perfect product, a computer in which the styling, the manufacturing, and the feature set are all in perfect harmony, embracing and reinforcing each other instead of undermining.
As I predicted in 2011, 2012 was a great year for Apple's competitors. The iPhone is simply one excellent smartphone in a field of many equally good devices. The iPad Mini is the best compact tablet, but it's not an exceptional one; the Nexus 7 is a more attractive option for many people.
But there's still no alternative of any kind to the full-sized iPad. Nothing is as well made, as well thought out, as simple, as straightforward, and so eager to work. For now, and for the foreseeable future...nothing else comes close.

Paving the Way to Stable Income
More than 20 million people age 50 and over do not have adequate income to meet their basic needs for food and housing. Many are looking for full-time work or part-time jobs, and have become part of the largest increase in long-term unemployment in history. These workers are mothers and fathers, daughters and sons; some care for elderly parents, some support children and grandchildren who have been cut adrift by unemployment themselves.
These struggling Americans have lost their foothold in the economy, and they want to get it back —they know it might not be easy, but with the right tools and resources they can regain control.
Our income work improves opportunities for these 50+ workers to earn, manage and protect their income as they age. By building awareness, supporting effective services, delivering new products and programs, and investing in community capacity, we work together with 50+ low-wage workers and their families to win back opportunity and get back on track.
Study Shows Positive Changes in Financial Behavior

Founder and president of the foundation, Freddie White-Johnson believes that maintaining physical wellness while fighting cancer is very important.
"This walk is not only to raise money for the foundation, it is meant to promote the importance of exercise and physical activity," said Johnson.
The walk is to begin at Amanda Elzy High School at 8 a.m. October 19, 2013. Registration is $5 and begins at 7:30 a.m.
According to Johnson, the primary feature that distinguishes the Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation from other organizations bearing Hamer's name is the fact that she died of cancer.
"After undergoing surgery for late-stage breast cancer, Hamer would stuff her bra with socks. On a subsequent speaking trip to Washington, DC. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes-Norton donated and had her fitted with a prosthesis," added Johnson.
The Foundation honors the memory of Ruleville native Fannie Lou Hamer who "shook the foundation of this Nation" with her courage, determination and willingness to undergo great personal sacrifices as an authentic voice of those who were impoverished and disenfranchised.
The Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation is committed to preventing cancer in the Mississippi Delta by increasing awareness and establishing a public agenda for the prevention of cancer.
"Cancer does not discriminate on the basis of gender or race. It can affect anyone, and that is why I am dedicated to aid in the prevention or early detection of cancer among individuals who live in rural communities. All surrounding communities should come out and support the fight against breast cancer," said Johnson.

Anyone who's typed his or her name into Google, knows that personal information really isn't so…personal. In fact, private information can pretty much pop up anywhere. In particular, students are being schooled on the dangers of social media, but those lessons apply to anyone who is applying for a job.
I was recently interviewed by Michael P. Grace, CEO of MPG Ventures, LLC, for a publicity opportunity. We were talking about his product Virallock, an online monthly monitoring service that offers social media guidance and helps clients, such as busy professionals and students, keep Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages clean and professional.
Mr. Grace credits his two teenage boys for inspiring his latest business venture: "From my experience as a parent, and having been a very adventurous teenager once myself, I know that our kids often make decisions while at an age when they're much too young to understand the long term consequences of those decisions. In the case of social media sites, these decisions can manifest themselves in the pictures they choose to post, the tone and language of posts on their wall, tweets or blogs, etc. I wanted to create a service that focused on educating teens and young adults about the importance of establishing and maintaining a positive online image."
Mr. Grace says that in today's society keeping a positive online image can often be as important as your GPA. "College admission counselors, hiring managers, human resource departments, potential clients and partners are all using social media at an increasing rate to learn more about who you are as a person," he explains. "If I give you my resume, I am giving you a two-dimensional view of who I am. If you can view my online image and therefore see the 'Viral Footprint' that I have created, then you get a more three-dimensional view of who I am. Unfortunately we are painfully aware from media reports and stories we hear from friends and family of the ways in which people are damaging their ability to achieve their goals because of something they posted online."
Virallock was created to educate and monitor that online image and enhance clients' abilities to achieve their goals. Virallock's database has over 4,000 words, phrases, acronyms and text lingo that is referenced against any new post to clients. "We offer a monitoring service that functions very much like credit monitoring services do," shares Mr. Grace. "During the sign-up process, our clients create an account, which gives them access to their own customer portal. This is where they can view all of the information about their interaction with our counselors and the monitoring service. If any content matches anything from our database, Virallock automatically sends the client an email noting that there has been a post with questionable content that needs to be addressed. This can help with detecting bullying, predatory activity or 'sexting' on these sites." This added protection especially gives parents of teens peace of mind.
My meeting with Mr. Grace went smoothly, but I did find myself wondering if he had looked into my profile, and it occurred to me that I have two LinkedIn pages (I was never able to delete my old account after starting a second). When asked, Mr. Grace said he did in fact search my online profile before our meeting. I fessed up about my failure to delete the second LinkedIn account, and my tendency to tweet on extremely rare occasions. He smiled and said, "We can help you with that."
Since Mr. Grace admitted to looking at my social media pages before sitting down with me, I realized I should be more aware of what I'm putting on my Facebook page. After learning the importance of cleaning up my online profile, I have updated my LinkedIn account. Now it's time to tackle Twitter, before my own kids turn into teens.
I am not sure if I will be handling publicity for Mr. Grace, but I can say that I will be more prepared for my next go-around when it comes to my own online profile.
Virallock is offering a special right now for readers of this blog. Readers will receive level 1 service for free, with 1 month of the monitoring service included, with subsequent months of the monitoring for $9.99 per month. click here or call 1-855-VIRALLOCK for more information.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that British Airways discriminated against an employee by making her remove her crucifix, but backed a United Kingdom charity that fired a marriage counselor who refused to give sex therapy to gay couples.
The article said the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the airline's policy "amounted to an interference with her right to manifest her religion." The 60-year-old check-in clerk was reportedly jumping for joy and said, "It's a vindication that Christians have a right to express their faith on par with other colleagues at work visibly and not be ashamed of their faith."
But the court ruled against a nurse who was told to remove a crucifix necklace at work, because her employer had banned necklaces "for health and safety grounds, and so asking her to remove the symbol was not excessive."
The court said, "Where an individual's religious observance impinges on the rights of others, some restrictions can be made," according to the AP. The European Court of Human Rights also struck down claims by a local authority registrar who said her Christian faith prevented her from overseeing same-sex civil partnerships, and a marriage counselor who refused to offer sex therapy to gay couples.
In both cases, the court said employers had been entitled to strike a balance between claimants' rights to manifest their religious beliefs and the rights of others not to suffer discrimination. Shami Chakrabarti, director of the human rights group Liberty, said the verdicts were "an excellent result for equal treatment, religious freedom and common sense."
But some religious groups said the rulings sent the message that sexual orientation trumps religion when it comes to rights. Dave Landrum, director of advocacy for the Evangelical Alliance, said, "If we want to create a society that is diverse and can live with its deepest differences there needs to be a fuller protection for religious beliefs, convictions and actions."
Many supporters feel this "protection" should include tax exemption for all religious institutions. But this too, has been a case for the European courts in recent years. For example, on Dec. 11, 2012 the government of France repaid to Jehovah's Witnesses funds totaling more than $8.2 million after the European Court of Human Rights found that France was guilty of violating their religious freedom through an illegal tax.
In 1998, the government asserted that religious donations made by the Witnesses were subject to a 60 percent retroactive tax and, in 2003, demanded partial payment. Since the Court ruled that the tax was illegal, the French government is starting to implement the Court's decision by returning the funds collected, with interest, and paying all legal expenses.
For Christians around the world, defending their faith in court is nothing new. At Philippians 1:7, Paul spoke about "the defense and confirmation of the gospel" or as the New World Translation renders it, "the defending and legally establishing of the good news."
In Acts 25:11-12, Paul told Roman authorities, "If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!" After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!" — New International Version.
Defending one's faith before government authorities can be traced back to Moses standing before Pharaoh (Exodus (9:1), Christ standing before the Jewish Supreme Court, Governor Pontius Pilate and King Herod Antipas (Matthew 22:66-23:25), as well as Paul going before Caesar. This has also been true of other religious groups who continue to fight for their religious freedom as well.
Associate Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy said years ago, "Religious freedom is too sacred a right to be restricted or prohibited in any degree without convincing proof that a legitimate interest of the state is in grave danger."
Yes, religious freedom is a right, but it is not an absolute right. No one has the right to harm others for religious reasons or to force their worship on others. Courts are called upon to render judgements in sensitive areas to strike a balance between what is reasonable and what may be excessive. You win some. You lose some.
On that note I am reminded of Paul's words at 1Corinthians 4:3-4: "I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me." — New International Version.
The Most High will be the ultimate Judge of worship that He approves. For that, we can all be happy.

Event Date: Tuesday, February 07, 2012
The University of Charleston will host a series of five prominent figures in the energy business during the spring semester in a series titled, "Energy: Who's Got the Power?"
Nick Akins, president and CEO of American Electric Power (AEP). A native of Louisiana, Akins received his bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, La. He joined AEP in 1982 as an electrical engineer before moving up to positions of increasing responsibility. Prior to being elected president of AEP in December 2010, he served as executive vice president - generation from 2006 through 2010
While leading the generation business unit, Akins oversaw development of the world's first fully-integrated carbon capture and storage validation project at AEP's Mountaineer Plant in West Virginia, and construction of the nation's only ultra-supercritical pulverized coal plant in southwest Arkansas. The John W. Turk Plant, which is nearly complete, will be the most efficient coal plant in the country and the only use of this technology in the United States.
Event begins at 6:30 p.m. in Geary Auditorium, free and open to the public.
Since 2001, the Dow Chemical Foundation has been the major sponsor for UC Speaker Series events.

Table of Humility
Oh my goodness...
I agreed to buy a ticket from our youth group for a Valentine's day dinner, assuming it was on the day itself and I could skip out. The little girl selling me the tickets will end up a politician with her craftiness.
I have tried to explain to the kids (talking ages 15-20ish here) multiple times that they CANNOT "set me up" with anyone, especially not with the guy they keep trying to set me up with, because the annulment isn't done! You'd think that at a Catholic church after they spent a long time last year on the Theology of the Body for Teens there would be no issues.
Well, this is going to be awkward. The kids changed it to the Saturday before, so "everyone" could come. "There'll be a singles table, Ms. Katherine, but you know that will be a whole lot of old people and Fr. will be sitting, why don't you come?" So I give in, and agree to come in front of most of the church in the foyer.
Now the 17 year old evil genius has triumphed. Her sister leaked the seating chart to me. The "singles table" consists of me, the fellow they consistently try to set me up with, and Father. This sounds like a ridiculous silly thing, let me be the grownup and just laugh it off, etcetera...except you guys have no idea how awkward it is to be around this guy. I have been to confession several times over my silly crush on him and it's been consistent for, well, since I met him that I get awkward. Luckily, he is either completely oblivious or a real gentleman and ignoring it.
So what do you think - do I skip or go sit at this dinner and try to enjoy a steak without embarassing myself by stuttering and staring at the tablecloth the whole time?

The L Word (love)
When is it ok to tell your boyfriend/girlfriend that you love them? one week, 6 months, one year, 2 years...? I know emotions can be confused sometimes so I just need to know if there's a good time frame to wait for this or you just go with the flow. I'm not sure how long I need to wait before telling someone I really care about that I love them.

Riehle said it's likely that kale will continue to become more popular on restaurant menus.
Walter P. Rawl & Sons Inc., Pelion, S.C., has been growing kale for more than 25 years for foodservice, said Ashley Rawl, director of sales, marketing and product development.
Most recently, it has found favor with consumers in supermarkets and shoppers have "gained an understanding of how tasteful and nutritious it is."
Kale has transitioned from being a garnish to starring in soups, pastas and juices, he said.
While kale sales have increased in the foodservice category, the sales boost has not been as great as it has been at retail, he said.
Prices are higher than they were a year ago, he said, "but not tremendously."
While kale has become a hot commodity in both foodservice and retail outlets, most suppliers believe that while it will remain popular, that popularity will reach a peak and then sales gradually will start to taper off.
Berk said she sees sales of other greens picking up.
"People are looking for flavor profiles," she said, and all the greens are in the nutrient-dense category.
Scattini said he's heard speculation from the culinary world that "kale's already passé and it's on its way down, but I can't say that what's happening in the marketplace reflects that," he said.
One thing the industry has learned, he said, is that consumers are interested in "superfood-type items."
"As an industry, we're going to need to be prepared to understand what is going to be the next superfood, and what is going to be the format that we're going to have to take it to market in," he said.
