Everyone age 6 months and older needs to get a flu shot (vaccine) every year. The seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others from the flu.
For many people, the seasonal flu is a mild illness. But for some people, the flu can:
The flu spreads easily from person to person. When you get the flu shot, you don't just protect yourself – you also protect everyone around you.
What is the flu?The flu is caused by viruses that infect your nose, throat, and lungs. It's easily spread from person to person.
Symptoms of the flu include:
Am I at high risk for complications from the flu?For some people, the flu is more likely to cause serious illness that can lead to hospitalization or even death. If you are at high risk from the flu, it's especially important to get the vaccine before flu begins to spread in your community.
Groups at high risk from the flu include:
If you spend time with someone at high risk from the flu, you can protect both of you by getting a flu shot.
When do I need to get the seasonal flu shot?Get the flu shot soon after it's available each year. After you get the vaccine, your body takes about 2 weeks to develop protection against the flu. That's why it's a good idea to get the vaccine before flu starts spreading in your community.
Flu season is different from year to year. It can start as early as October and last as late as May.
Can I get the nasal (nose) spray instead of the shot?The flu vaccine can be given as a nasal spray or a shot. You may get the nasal spray if you:
Are there any side effects from the seasonal flu vaccine?Most people don't have any side effects after getting the flu vaccine. Some people may have mild side effects. These side effects begin soon after the vaccine is given and usually last 1 to 2 days. These side effects aren't the flu.
Flu shotPeople who get the flu shot may feel achy or have a sore arm where the shot was given. You can't get the flu from the flu shot because it's made from killed flu viruses.
Flu nasal sprayPeople who get the nasal spray may have a stuffy nose and sore throat afterward. The flu viruses in the nasal spray are weakened and can't cause the flu.
Flu shots are offered in many locations. You can get a flu vaccine at a doctor's office, clinic, or from your local health department, pharmacy, or employer.
Find out where to get the flu vaccine near you.Use this vaccine locator to find out where you can get a flu shot near you.
What about cost?The seasonal flu vaccine is covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get the flu vaccine at no cost to you.
Check with your insurance provider to find out what's included in your plan. For information about other services covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
If you have Medicare Part B, your flu shot is free.
Fight the flu.Getting the flu vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting yourself from the flu. Here are some other things you can do to keep from getting and spreading the flu:
If you get sick with the flu, your doctor may prescribe medicines called antiviral drugs. Antiviral drugs can help you feel less sick and shorten the time you are sick.

Each room in the hotel has a heating and cooling combination unit and the unit in room 314 caught fire.
According to Fire Inspector Gene Bishop no one was occupying the room at the time and the sprinkler head in the room activated and controlled the flames.
"There was not a lot of fire damage. There was smoke and water damage," said Bishop.
The fire department left the scene at 1:35 p.m. after the fire was completely out.

Take for example the definitions of success or happiness. These terms will never be universal. That being said, if you ask any sample size of individuals to define these words they are likely to answer in relatively simplistic terms: health, family, friends, stability, shelter, fun and love. What they are less likely to say is: riches, fame, admiration, attention, popularity or the like. However, when we interact with strangers and with the world around us it seems that we tend to project the later rather than the former. We are wired to need to project a level of success & accomplishment and shamed if we cannot.
For the entrepreneur, this presents an interesting conundrum. The push & pull between the pursuit of a place in history... of legacy and the alternative: a lifestyle of quiet contentment. Today's advertising messages, media coverage and interpersonal communications via social platforms would have us believe that the pursuit of happiness is a pursuit of more. More consumption. More belongings. More experiences. MORE. We have created economies dependent upon such practices. We have created entire industries around fame and attention (see reality TV). It is more & more difficult to distinguish between what we value or need and what we want or think we have to have. This brings me to the story of The Fisherman and The Banker, which was recently sent to me by an entrepreneur & colleague who (like me) is always navigating the fine line between the desire for more success and a casual lifestyle of balanced contentment. I will not suggest that one is more virtuous than the other. I will instead share this proverbial tale and allow you to apply it to your own life as you see fit.
The Parable of The Fisherman And The Banker
An American investment banker was taking a much-needed vacation in a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. The boat had several large, fresh fish in it.
The investment banker was impressed by the quality of the fish and asked the Mexican how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, "Only a little while." The banker then asked why he didn't stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican fisherman replied he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.
The American then asked "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman replied, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos: I have a full and busy life, senor."
The investment banker scoffed, "I am an Ivy League MBA, and I could help you. You could spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat, and with the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats until eventually you would have a whole fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to the middleman you could sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You could control the product, processing and distribution."
Then he added, "Of course, you would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City where you would run your growing enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
"But what then?" asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You could make millions."
"Millions, senor? Then what?"
To which the investment banker replied, "Then you would retire. You could move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

UC-Berkley Economist: 'EPA Fails to Calculate Costs of Clean Water Act Rule'
EPA has failed to accurately calculate the costs and scope of its proposed Clean Water Act rule published for public comment until July 21. The proposed rule is full of errors, lacks transparency and would expand the federal government's regulatory control over land not previously regulated by the CWA, according to a new analysis by University of California-Berkley economist David Sunding.

This official 2 disc NCIS TV soundtrack CD set is specially produced to stand apart from TV soundtracks that merely compile a selection of songs that were heard in a series' previous episodes. Instead, this NCIS soundtrack CD set features brand new tracks from Blue October, Dashboard Confessional, Oasis, Seether, Jakob Dylan, The Airborne Toxic Event, Saving Abel, Perry Farrell, Will Dailey, Skold vs. KMFDM, Collide and electronica pioneers Nitzer Ebb, all set for prominent placement in NCIS episodes beginning in February 2009, coinciding with the release of this collection.
This official NCIS TV soundtracks CD set also features recent tracks from Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Sharon Little, Keaton Simons and Android Lust - all utilized in recent NCIS episodes - as well as the show's original theme (available commercially for the first time) and a brand new theme remix from industrial music giants, Ministry. NCIS show producers listened to literally dozens of submitted tracks before choosing the ones best suited for upcoming storylines, and from which the show's writers could draw upon for inspiration. As NCIS Executive Producer Shane Brennan explains about this NCIS official TV soundtrack CD set, ''We've put the same amount of attention and care into the creation of our soundtrack that we do with our show every week. We listened to countless tracks to find the tunes that would not only fit into particular episodes, but would actually help drive our storylines. We couldn't be more thrilled that so many great artists share our vision for integrating music into television and have agreed to offer up new music for our soundtrack. We think the fans will be getting something truly special as a result.''
This NCIS TV soundtrack CD set also features show stars Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto), who performs the self-composed ''Fear'' under the moniker Stop Making Friends, and Cote de Pablo (Ziva David), whose memorable performance of Tom Waits' ''Temptation'' from a recent episode is included on the 2 disc official NCIS soundtrack CD set. Perrette has an extensive background in music, owning her own independent record label and fronting several bands, and it is her character, Abby, whose music sensibilities in the show serve as the basis for the soundtrack's ''Abby's Lab'' disc.
Buy the official NCIS TV soundtrack CD set for two discs of toe-tapping, heart-racing hits from some of the biggest stars in music today.

By Automobile Magazine 9/13/2013
The 4 Series is all new for 2014. BMW fans refer to this new-generation coupe by its code name: F40. The new coupe is longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor. It's also lower and wider than the sedan, and its styling is more differentiated from its four-door sibling than it was in previous generations. Unlike the sedan, the coupe's rear wheels are spaced farther apart than the front wheels. This wider rear track helps the 4 Series corner even more aggressively than the already-impressive 3 Series...Read more
4 Series is the new name for the coupe version of the BMW 3 Series sedan. BMW has now moved the coupe up one notch numerically to better separate it in consumers' minds from its four-door sibling. Mechanically, the 3 Series sedan and the 4 Series coupe are identical, although the 4 Series does not offer as many powertrain choices as the sedan. The 4 Series sticks to the two volume offerings: the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the 428i and the 3.0-liter straight-six turbo in the 435i. Either is available with rear-wheel drive (sDrive) or four-wheel drive (xDrive). The 3 Series coupe has always been an enthusiast favorite, and the new 4 Series should be, too.
Although it's now called 4 Series, this is still the coupe (and, soon, the convertible) version of the BMW 3 Series. The familiar turbocharged four-cylinder in the 428i makes 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque; BMW still offers the choice of a six-speed manual transmission as well as the excellent eight-speed automatic. The 2.0-liter four is gutsy (ripping from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds) but it doesn't always sound great. It does, however, return good gas mileage: as much as 23 mpg city (with the automatic) and 34 mpg on the highway (with the manual).
The more potent performer is the 435i. Its classic BMW powerplant, a sweet-sounding turbocharged straight six, delivers 302 hp. It, too, is available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. Like the 428i, the 435i can be had in Luxury Line, Sport Line, or M Sport trim. These are mostly appearance packages, although the (rear-wheel-drive) Sport and M Sport include a firmer suspension, and the M Sport further adds high-performance brakes. The latter is also available as a standalone option. There's an optional adaptive M suspension, too, which automatically adapts to changing road conditions; it's bundled with variable sport steering in the dynamic handling package.
The ultimate expression of this BMW's sporty character has been the M3 coupe, which is currently on hiatus until the arrival of the M4 coupe in mid 2014. Details on the M4 are few right now, although the car is expected to abandon its normally aspirated V-8 in favor of a more potent version of the 435i's turbo six.

Hoke, Byrd, Phair are only Bears' coaches left after Trestman cleans house
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com January 17, 2013 11:17PM
Marc Trestman speaks after being introduced as the new head coach of the Chicago Bears at Halas Hall in Lake Forest, Ill., on Thursday, January 17, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
It didn't take long for new Bears head coach Marc Trestman to make changes at Halas Hall.
Just hours after Trestman was introduced, the Bears announced that they've dismissed offensive coordinator Mike Tice, linebackers coach Bob Babich, quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates, tight ends coach Mike DeBord, wide receivers coach Darryl Drake, offensive line coach Tim Holt and running backs coach Tim Spencer.
The only coaches who currently remain from Lovie Smith's previous staff are defensive backs coach Jon Hoke, safeties coach Gill Byrd and defensive line coach Mike Phair.
The team also announced that defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli was let go, but Trestman earlier said during his press conference that he was leaving.
"The bottom line is I would have hoped Rod would have stayed here," Trestman said. "We had a great conversation and again we've got mutual friends that we've worked with and know each and every one of us. I don't think that was an issue. But the NFL moves quickly, so we've got to do our due diligence.
"As I said in the meeting, one of the first points of interest is to put the staff together and that should basically tell you we've got our work to do. We want to get the best guy in here [to lead the defense]."
Babich, Spencer, Drake and former special-teams coordinator Dave Toub were with the Bears since Smith was first hired in 2004. Toub, who interviewed for the Bears' head coaching job, was the first to leave after Smith's firing, making a lateral move to the Kansas City Chiefs.
General manager Phil Emery and Trestman both said Thursday that they were in the process of evaluating the coaching staff. Trestman did say he planned on bringing coaches with him from the Montreal Alouettes.
"I think that we'll have the majority of our staff by the end of next week," Emery said. "We've got a great start. I was very pleased we were able to name Marc head football coach along with Aaron [Kromer] as our offensive coordinator and Joe DeCamillis as our assistant head coach, special teams coordinator."

Remote exploitation of a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Systems Inc.'s Acrobat and Reader could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. Adobe Reader and Acrobat are portable document format (PDF) readers and processors.
The vulnerability occurs when parsing a specially crafted OpenType font embedded in a PDF file. During the parsing of an OpenType font, Adobe Reader fails to properly validate a specific field, which triggers a heap overflow. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user viewing a Web page or opening a PDF file.

DUNDEE, Fla. — Buyers should expect fewer navels but bigger volumes of grapefruit and tangerines as Florida's early season shipments move to larger volumes.
The season is also bringing smaller-sized fruit, grower-shippers say.
Grower-shippers began harvesting in late September and early October, about a week earlier than normal.
Douglas OhlemeierAl Finch, vice president of sales and marketing for Dundee, Fla.-based Florida Classic Growers, the marketing arm of the Dundee Citrus Growers Association, views some sunburst tangerines running on the packing line in late October. Grower-shippers say tangerine quality is high and say the state expects to ship fewer navel oranges. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Oct. 11 initial season forecast, Florida is expected to produce 2.2 million equivalent cartons of navels, 17% fewer than last year.
Despite the predicted smaller volume, grower-shippers say retailers should see adequate volume of Florida navels and other oranges for winter promotions.
Additionally, navels could finish earlier than normal, said Matt Reel, director of sales for Vero Beach-based IMG Citrus Inc.
"We will see lighter volumes in late December and early January than we usually do," Reel said in early November. "That's because of the lower acid levels in the fruit. Primary Florida volume finishes by the end of December, but we will see a lot of shippers finish earlier. With the lower acid in the fruit, they won't hold on to the tree as long."
Al Finch, vice president of sales and marketing for Florida Classic Growers, the marketing arm of the Dundee Citrus Growers Association, said some early October rain slowed harvesting, but the season was well underway by late October.
He said retailers should do well with bag promotions.
"From the feedback from our retailers, they are extremely pleased with the eating quality of the fruit," Finch said in late October. "This has translated into their sales at store level. As we move further into November, lots of promotions have been established with major retail groups in the U.S. and Canada on bagged navels and tangerines and bulk grapefruit."
Seald Sweet International, Vero Beach, began harvesting light volumes of grapefruit in late September but bumped up production by mid-October.
In late October, Dave Brocksmith, Seald Sweet's Florida program manager, said the entire industry was in promotable volume.
He said the bigger volume should help promote bag sales.
"The grapefruit production forecast is basically unchanged but we will see more fresh-packed grapefruit in the market this year because processors aren't paying such a high price this year," Brocksmith said. "That is putting more grapefruit in the fresh marketplace and less in processing. It has taken some competitive pressures off supplies."

Arthur U. Chaney In 1907, Arthur U. Chaney founded the American Fruit Exchange -- which a year later became the American Cranberry Exchange. He was a pioneer in organizing growers into sales and marketing blocs. He also fought for the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, enacted in 1930, which sought to restrict fraudulent produce marketing practices. Chaney was born on an Illinois farm in 1874 and later lived in Des Moines, Iowa, with his brother, Chester. They operated cranberry bogs in Wisconsin, which at the time was a state that paid growers individually for the fruit they brought in. That gave Chaney, who was known to growers as A.U. Chaney, the idea to become a fresh fruit broker for an organized group of farmers to develop orderly marketing conditions. Chaney headed to New York City where the exchange represented and handled sales for New Jersey, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Chaney operated the cranberry exchange until his death in 1941. The American Cranberry Exchange changed its name to Eatmore Cranberries Inc. in the early 1940s and continued to operate until 1954. At that time it closed its doors because most growers were diverting to processing with Ocean Spray.
Bruce Church: An innovator, a calculated risk-taker and a leader, Bruce Church helped push technological ventures that changed the fruit and vegetable industry. He was a leading lettuce breeder, and his investment and leadership in the Growers Ice and Development Co. and The Vacuum Cooling Co. spurred development of reliable refrigerated produce storage and shipments. In 1922, Church began his stint in the industry, working for the Tracy Waldron Fruit Co. in San Francisco. He returned to his Salinas Valley roots in 1927 and met his future business partner, Whitney Knowlton. He eventually bought out Knowlton and created Bruce Church Inc. in 1931. Church formed another partnership with Ken Nutting, Gene Harden and Russ Merrill in 1937. These four men created Growers Ice and Development Co. to provide the industry with much-needed ice-packing services for shipping fresh vegetables. Another of Church's innovations was one of the first seed and soil research programs. His research program produced about 50 percent of the lettuce seed used in the industry at the time. Church worked with the Salinas Grower-Shipper Vegetable Association to set up mandatory quality produce standards. He worked to improve relations between the Western Growers Association and government agencies. At the time of his death in 1958 he was dictating a speech for the WGA. He also was civic-minded. He led the produce industry battle against federal efforts to provide price supports during the Korean War and donated land to build the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital.

This perfume is intoxicating, tempestuous and impulsive. The floral notes dominate the composition and open the door to an unreal, fantasy world as in a fairy tale or Botticelli's Primavera.
WHAT IT IS: The woman this fragrance is dedicated to yearns to encounter the magic. She loves to fascinate and be fascinated. She is searching for enchantment and the world of dreams that come true. Her powerful imagination and the ability to trust in what is possible give her a remarkable sensitivity. A feminine vulnerability, devotion and yearning for being at one with the world characterize this type of woman. But she also maintains the enthusiasm and special charm of the young girl who feels as if the world belongs to her and that all doors are open. Size: 15 ml
WHAT IT DOES: The perfume reflects this complex, romantic personality and reveals it in a remarkable floral bouquet at its heart. The head notes have a volatile character. They are fresh, without being over-exuberant: the gaiety of orange and bergamot is mellowed by the green composure of fig leaf, all flowing swiftly into the floral heart. Here, the stunning combination of gardenia tiare, jasmine, lily of the valley, osmanthus, ylang-ylang, tuberose, geranium and carnation unfolds. The scent of iris continues to echo this predominantly flowery character in the base notes. Musk and vanilla gently soften the exuberance of this remarkable composition and help to maintain the flowery essences.

With arguably the most famous laugh of any cartoon character in history ("ha-ha-ha-HA-ha"), Woody Woodpecker pecked his way into our lives through a 1940 Andy Panda theatrical short entitled Knock Knock. Woody continued to appear in short films throughout the 40's and 50's, and in 1957, the Kellogg's company packaged these theatrical works into the syndicated package The Woody Woodpecker Show.Walter Lantz created the famed bird, and in the show's early days, the animator would host from his office, demonstrating how cartoons were made by showing the viewers at home such essentials as painting cels and drawing storyboards. Woody, an obnoxious mischief-maker, would usually star in the shorts, occasionally taking a backseat to his friends Andy Panda, Wally Walrus, Gabby Gator, Buzz Buzzard, Oswald the Rabbit, and Arctic penguin Chilly Willy.
Woody was by far the most politically incorrect and audacious character of his time. In an era when cartoons were trying to promote a positive message or somehow prove educational, Woody was breaking taboos left and right. The early theatrical shorts were chock full of sexual innuendo, tobacco use, and rampant alcohol consumption. One episode even showed a hotel bill with a charge for "Cocaine" (all of which were later edited out before hitting the airwaves). While other cartoons were trying to do the right thing, Woody was joking, fighting, stealing, and antagonizing.
Another difference between our fine feathered friend and other animated icons is that he didn't always come out on top. Sometimes he'd dig himself too deep into a hole to get out. Perhaps "if Woody had gone to the police, this never would have happened," but then we wouldn't have had so much fun watching him try.
After a three year run from 1957-60, The Woody Woodpecker Show was not seen on network television again until the fall of 1970, when it made its Saturday morning debut. Although his physical appearance was slightly altered and updated, Woody was as big a troublemaker as ever. The immortal show has lived on in syndication ever since leaving network TV in 1977.
In 1999, a brand new Woody Woodpecker Show debuted on the Fox Kids schedule. Woody, Buzz Buzzard, Wally Walrus, Chilly Willy, and Willy's dog pal Smedley were joined by newcomers Winnie Woodpecker, Knothead, Splinter, Dapper Denver Dooley, and Mrs. Meany.

Do you know what a roadway "Level of Service - C" means? It's the reason that Caltrans is wasting more than $300 million of our money on a huge new freeway to handle a miniscule amount of traffic. It's the reason that more than $30 million of local transportation money has been stolen from us and committed to a bloated project that even industry-written highway design manuals caution against. It's the reason that Caltrans will level scores of century-old oak trees, cover hundreds of acres of prime farmland in asphalt, and destroy more wetlands than any other project in northern California over the last half century. It's the reason that smaller, safer, cheaper, and less-impacting solutions for our traffic problems were never taken seriously by Caltrans.
It's all because of a simple phrase that Caltrans wrote into the purpose and need statement for the bypass: "[the bypass must] achieve a minimum Level of Service (LOS) 'C'". These seven words are responsible for all this.
If you don't know what LOS "C" means, you're not alone. None of the regulatory agencies that approved the bypass understood what LOS "C" meant either, even though they signed a statement agreeing to the purpose and need statement years ago. None of them had the slightest clue that they had just been conned by Caltrans into committing their agencies to approving the massive destruction that will besiege our valley for eternity.
Level of Service (LOS) is a rating system that highway design engineers use to figure out how many lanes are needed on a new roadway to handle the traffic volumes projected to use it. The rating system attempts to estimate a driver's perception of the quality of their driving experience during near worst case, peak-hour traffic conditions, and is derived from a complex series of calculations. The calculated LOS ranges from "A" (very low traffic) to "F" (bumper to bumper traffic). Highway design manuals recommend that engineers aim for something in the middle of the range - LOS "C" or "D"- when designing new roadways in order to balance functionality with cost and environmental impacts.
The same design manuals strongly advise against building roadways that will operate at LOS "A" over their design life because the roadway would be overbuilt, wasting public funds and causing undo and unnecessary environmental damage. In the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the bypass, Caltrans declares that "A four lane bypass would provide LOS "A" upon construction, as well as throughout the 20-year design period".
In contrast, Caltrans states that a generic two-lane bypass "would provide a LOS 'D' at peak hour upon construction, as well as throughout the 20-year design period". If you want to experience LOS "D" yourself, drive the stretch of Highway 101 from the north city limit to Reynolds highway at 5:00 pm. Or, simpler yet, log on to Caltrans' website (http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist1/d1tmc/1_cam.php?cam=27) to see real-time photos taken near the truck scales north of town. With a recent peak-hour traffic count of 860 vehicles per hour, this stretch of highway is well into LOS "D" according to the calculations.
But, as one recent editorial writer asked, aren't we getting a two-lane bypass? The answer, unfortunately, is a resounding "NO". The ultimate project is and always has been a four-lane freeway. What we are getting now is 2/3 of a freeway, a Frankenstein version with nearly the same massive footprint and impacts as a four-lane freeway. The same high-speed design as a freeway without the safety benefits of lane-separation. Six miles of inaccessible pavement, suspended 20 feet in the air, with interchanges too far from town to provide any local benefit.
If you dispense with the rigid constraints of a freeway, better alternatives suddenly become feasible. For example, numerous people have suggested the unused railroad corridor as a potential route. Even though it would clearly reduce delay and improve safety, the other goals listed in the purpose and need statement, Caltrans says it won't meet LOS "C". As a result Caltrans cast it, and all other non-freeway alternatives, aside as not meeting their own arbitrary LOS requirement. A railroad route could have completely avoided wetland impacts thereby forcing the Army Corps of Engineers to reject all the freeway alternatives from further consideration under the Clean Water Act.
Caltrans has always wanted a freeway. Be it 1950's thinking, hubris, money but it's certainly not traffic volumes, that's been well established. They knew the purpose and need statement couldn't just plainly state "we want to build a freeway", agencies and the public would have questioned that. So, they did the next best thing. They added seven words; a benign sounding requirement that they knew no one would understand or question. The result is the same.

Tim McGraw meets with military families in Orland Park
By Mike Nolan email@example.com May 24, 2013 6:14PM
Country star Tim McGraw, right, shakes hands with Justin Kimble while surprising military veterans during lunch at Outback Steakhouse as part of the Military Mates program in Orland Park, Ill., on Friday May 24, 2013. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
Updated: June 27, 2013 6:32AM
Sitting down and chatting with country music superstar Tim McGraw has become something of a regular happening for Linda Brashears.
The retired Army staff sergeant from Romeoville met with McGraw in July when he presented her with a mortgage-free townhouse through his HomeFront program, a collaboration with Operation Homefront and Chase Bank.
"He spent like 20 minutes with me and my friend" that day, Brashears said.
On Friday, McGraw sat next to her for a bit in a booth at Outback Steakhouse in Orland Park, with McGraw the surprise guest at a luncheon that Outback held in conjunction with Operation Homefront for military veterans and active personnel and their families.
Some, including Brashears, were seriously wounded in the line of duty. While she was at a forward operating base in Iraq in 2006, the compound "took a lot of mortar fire," with one shell hitting an ammunition holding area, she said.
"There were explosions for seven hours," said Brashears, who was close to the blasts and suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Brashears, who lived for 20 years in Palos Heights and whose son lives in Tinley Park, said her townhouse was completely renovated — with new appliances, granite countertops and children's bedroom furniture for her 21/2-year-old granddaughter.
Since launching last year, the HomeFront program has awarded nearly 30 houses to deserving military families, a number that's expected to double this year.
McGraw has been presenting the home awards during his current tour to promote his "Two Lanes of Freedom" CD, autographed copies of which were included in a goodie bag handed out to families at Friday's lunch.
McGraw, who played at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park on Friday, was scheduled to present a home in Oswego to Marine Sgt. Carlos Cruz, originally from Chicago's South Side and now living in California.
McGraw's appearance in Orland Park was organized by Operation Homefront and Outback's Military Mates program. Some of the families invited have had several generations in military service.
Scott Williams, from Channahon, is a sergeant in the Army National Guard, and his dad, Richard, and uncle, Tom Gibson, also served in the Army.
Williams, deployed to Kuwait for two years, said his mom, through Operation Homefront, counseled families of soldiers deployed overseas and that the organization supplied his family with phone cards to keep in touch with him during his deployment.
McGraw, who's had family members, including his sister and grandfather, serve in the military, told the group Friday that "I'm free, and I'm free to go about my business every day ... because of the outstanding families that are in this place."
After his remarks, he sat at a table with two Marines on either side of him. He tucked into the chain's bloomin' onion appetizer but barely touched the steak that was placed in front of him.
Instead, McGraw spent the bulk of his time posing for photos and going from table to table to talk with families.
"It was awesome that he came by, taking the time" to go to each table, Williams said.
Coordinating McGraw's visit and keeping it a secret was no easy task, Outback officials said. The Orland Park restaurant isn't normally open for lunch on weekdays, so keeping the general public out wasn't an issue, and employees were asked to keep quiet.
"We did not talk about it to anybody," said Sara Cease, a server from Oak Forest who's worked there six years.
While McGraw posed for group photos with restaurant employees, a couple couldn't resist pulling out cellphones to snap a few shots while McGraw moved around the restaurant.

Organizers, who also enlisted the support of 500 organizations in favor of the petition, wonder how many people it will take for the FDA to take notice and act on this "right to know" issue.
March 27 is the 180th day of the FDA's review period of the petition, the day that the agency is required to respond to the petition.
The petition asks the FDA to issue new regulations requiring labeling of all foods produced using genetic engineering, to change the way it defines material change in a food.
In my opinion, the agency will probably issue a nebulous statement in response to the petition, suggesting the issue needs more evaluation and study.
A new poll will be issued by the "Just Label It" campaign on March 27, and will show support for labeling of genetically engineered food across party lines.
Polls cited by the campaign point to overwhelming support for labeling genetically engineered food, with more than 90% of Americans apparently in favor of the idea.
In California, a separate campaign is working to collect enough signatures to put the issue of GM food labeling on the ballot in November.
This is the type of issue that no retailer or trade group wants to stand in the way of. It is out of the question for any large retailer or food manufacturer to loudly oppose labeling of genetically engineered food. Many will simply stand on the sideline and hope the "Just Label It" passion subsides.

There have only been 2 reviews of Brown Cow yogurts here on Iateapie.net, and so far, the ratings have been pretty mediocre. But, despite my experience with the tasteless Brown Cow 0% Fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt, I was intent on giving the brand another shot. Sometimes one flavor tastes horrible, while another one shines, so I decided to try their all natural, Strawberry on the Bottom Greek Yogurt.
I checked out the ingredients list while I was in line at the store, and it definitely improved my outlook - real strawberries - oh yes! As soon as I got home the container, I stirred up the rich-looking strawberries from the bottom, and hoped for the best. I took a bite and ... delicious - color me impressed Brown Cow.
Because this is Greek yogurt, it's thicker than the regular stuff (although not as thick as Fage) and it tasted, well, real. Like real strawberries and sugar in yogurt. I guess I'm so used to artificial sweeteners that I sometimes forget what real sugar tastes like! The entire 5.3 ounce package was delicious and satiating.
Each 5.3 ounce container of Brown Cow 0% Fat Strawberry Greek Yogurt provides 130 calories, no fat, 17 grams of sugars, 13 grams of protein, and 15% of the daily value for calcium. And in addition to using all natural ingredients, all Brown Cow yogurts are now certified gluten free.
The sugar count is way up there - along with some of the other 'fruity' Greek yogurts like, Chobani Pineapple 2% All Natural Greek Yogurt. I picked up a container for $2.29, but I can find this yogurt for just $1.39 - I happened to be at a store where is was much more expensive. What a nice surprise - way to go, Brown Cow!

A gun buyback program and prescription drug turn-in will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Midlothian, Chicago Heights and Calumet City police departments, according to a news release from the South Suburban Association of Chiefs of Police, which is hosting the event.
Firearms will be exchanged for $100 cash if the weapon and participant meet the program requirements.
All types of firearms will be accepted, but they must be unloaded and transported in a car trunk or inaccessible area of a van or pickup truck, police said. Participants must enter the turn-in site without the firearm, and police will accompany them back to the vehicle to retrieve it.
Anyone wanting to turn in a weapon without visiting a collection site should call their local police, the release said.
To get $100, the firearm must be functional. Pellet and BB guns will be accepted, but no money will be given, the release said.
Only residents of towns belonging to the SSACOP are eligible to take part. Those unsure whether their town is a member should call their local police.
The program ends when funds are exhausted, police said.
Unwanted, unused and expired prescription drugs also will be collected at all three sites.
Behind marijuana, prescription drugs are the substance most abused by teenagers, police said.
The Midlothian Police Department is at 14801 S. Pulaski Road. The Chicago Heights Police Department is at 1601 S. Halsted St., and the Calumet City Police Department is at 1200 Pulaski Road.

EU-funded Security Research project moves closer to hemming in fake medicines in Europe with fool-proof, anti-counterfeit technology Julkaistu: 10/04/2013
MADRID – Contraband in the form of counterfeit medicines is a huge problem around the world and Europe is no exception – a region where criminals exploit the its patchwork of national administrations, its complex land and sea borders and the intricacies of its health care bureaucracies. It all adds up to help fake "generic" name-brand and off-the-shelf medicines circulate in our economy.
The problem is complicated by inadvertent consumer complicity – everyone wants cheap medicines, but few ask where they come from – and by the sheer scale of the problem for Europe's law enforcement and customs agencies. In a recent study of the problem, for example, EU investigators found 34 million fake tablets in a two-month period alone.
The Security Research project SAVEmed ("Microstructure secured and self-verifying medicines") is developing technology which could bring this illicit activity to an end.
Current encoding practices in the pharmaceutical sector involve stamping a box of tablets or, at most, the individual "blister" packs inside a box, each of which usually contains two rows of individually sealed tablets. By contrast, SAVEmed has developed a way to stamp a tiny encrypted code on every tablet and then to link that to each tablet's specific package. This enables the medicine to be tracked and identified all along its value-chain, from factory floor to retail outlet.
"Everyone in the [pharmaceutical] industry said we would never be able to do this – to create a link between the product and the packaging. But it worked perfectly the first time we did it," says Stefan Klocke, CEO of the Germany company of Nano-4-U GmbH in Karlsruhe, which coordinates SAVEmed. Klocke and his research partners gave a brief overview of the mid-term results of their research projects during a European Commission security workshop held in Madrid on 12-13 March in parallel with Spain's biannual "HOMSEC" security trade show.
SAVEmed's main mid-term result is the creation of a tiny three-dimensional (3-D) encrypted code that can be stamped onto every production-line tablet, before all are mixed in a tumbler and then randomly sealed into blister packs. Then, using a 3-D scanner to sweep over each pack's unique mix and pattern of codes, SAVEmed's proprietary algorithm creates a unique identifier which, in turn, is tied to the blister pack's unique production code.
The project's innovation is in both the highly encrypted technology that goes into the code, and in the stamp itself which is laser-etched into the factory moulds that produce each tablet. Thus, re-tooling on the factory floor is avoided.
Moreover, each tablet's stamp contains both encrypted and non-encrypted information. Thus, if a blister pack is tampered or if a tablet is removed from it, the latter's code carries readable information about its production batch number, date of fabrication, dosage – without revealing any data that could compromise its encryption key. "This offers different sources of verification: one for the customer, one for the manufacturer and another for the police or customs for use in a court of law," said Paul Glendenning, Nano's chief technology officer.
SAVEmed's next big challenge is to develop portable 3-D readers. "One of our partners has a high-speed model but we've to modify it to produce a hand-held version," said Klocke. "And it will have to be cheap enough so that public end-users such as customs officials can buy it."

I can't bring myself to buy one now, like I said I never liked Hull, but I'm happy whenever someone else picks one up. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you. 2 - You can never have too many RCs from the early 80s, so I wouldn't worry too much about the Andreychuk.

ROME — After raising eyebrows by going to North Korea, former U.S. basketball star Dennis Rodman is continuing his bizarre global tour by visiting Rome — purportedly to help Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson become the first black pope.
But Rodman didn't seem too sure who he was supposed to be promoting when asked about it Wednesday. "From Africa right?" Rodman asked, wearing a hat and T-shirt promoting the Irish betting firm that organized his trip.
Rodman said he was sure the next pope would be black and that he would like to meet him in Africa on his self-styled mission to promote world peace.
Even Rodman's plans to enter St. Peter's Square in a custom-built "pope-mobile" were uncertain Wednesday: The vehicle had been delayed by snow in northern Italy.

text: Lent is over, and we're still enjoying our Easter candy here in New Orleans, but this year just isn't the same. Although the familiar Elmer's Chocolates, second largest manufacturer of the heart box in the country and the maker of Heavenly Hash Gold Brick, and Pecan Eggs is still located in the area, it moved across the lake to Ponchatoula in the early '60s. Nonetheless, it's a venerable local company, established in 1855 in New Orleans and today run by the third generation of the Nelson family. The company's founder was Christopher Henry Miller, a German immigrant to New Orleans. His first shop was on the corner of Jackson Street and Levee Street in New Orleans. Later it became Elmer-Miller, the name of Augustus Elmer was added, when he married into the Miller family. In 1914 it became The Elmer Company . Roy Nelson bought the company in 1963 from the Elmer family, who first began making Heavenly Hash Eggs in 1923 and Gold Brick Eggs in 1938. Elmer's didn't invent the Heavenly Hash recipe, but bought it from a department store. Today the company makes 15 million candy eggs a year, and we eat a lot of them in New Orleans!

In his first at bat of the day, Aldridge hit a two out double to break the record shared with Clay Smith, who hit in 27 consecutive games in 2005. The record for Aldridge dates back to the first game of the season against Montevallo on February 8.
The Statesmen (24-4-1, 9-2-1 GSC) followed it up with wins of 10-1 and 2-0 over the Tigers (16-17, 9-4 GSC), who were tied atop the Gulf South Conference standings entering play Friday.
Delta State took an early lead in game one when Josh Crowdus hit an RBI single to the hole at second base, scoring Brent Langston from third.
Langston added another run in the fourth, hitting a homerun to left field off of West Alabama starter Taylor Bratton.
After scoring a pair of runs in the fifth and one in the seventh, the Statesmen sealed the victory with five runs in the eighth. Aldridge hit a two-out bases loaded double, scoring two runs in the big inning for Delta State.
Michael Manley picked up the win for the Statesmen in game one. Manley improved to 4-0 on the year, giving up one unearned run on five hits in 7.2 innings pitched. Manley had eight strikeouts without a walk.
In game two, Statesmen starter Colton Mitchell stole the show, pitching a complete game shutout, striking out 13 West Alabama batters.
The 13 strikeouts for Mitchell were a career high for the senior. Mitchell's previous high was eight. The mark also gave Mitchell the individual high for the season and tied the team best for the season.
Mitchell improved to 3-1 on the season, allowing five hits and only one walk in the seven-inning game.
The Statesmen scored both runs in the fourth inning of game two. Langston singled to score Michael Vinson to put Delta State on the scoreboard. Later in the inning, Crowdus hit his second RBI single of the day to score Langston from second.
On the day, Crowdus was 4-for-6 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Langston finished 3-for-6, including the homerun, with a walk, three runs scored and two RBIs.
Aldridge failed to record a hit in the second game, ending his hit streak at 28 games.
Delta State pitching combined for 23 strikeouts in 16 innings, giving up only one walk and one unearned run.
