periodical, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, and in electronic form on the Internet. As described in one report, "State and local public health officials rely on health-care providers, laboratories, and other public health personnel to report the occurrence of notifiable diseases to state and local health departments. Without such data, trends cannot be accurately monitored, unusual occurrences of diseases might not be detected" (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, 1997).
One might ask what motivates the practitioners to provide the case reports for processing and tabulation. The answer is, in part, the existence of state laws and regulations, which mandate reporting of specified "notifiable" diseases and conditions. The mandated list of notifiable diseases differs across the states, as do the requirements for information to accompany each report. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has become a partner with the states in this process, first by offering technical assistance, and more recently by establishing policies that regularize reporting of cases and a set of uniform criteria for public health surveillance. For example, the CDC definitions provide for distinctions between laboratory-confirmed cases, epidemiologically linked cases (e.g., in which the patient had contact with one or more infected or exposed other), probable and suspected cases (e.g., classified as "probable" or "suspected" for reporting purposes on the basis of clinical features but not confirmed by laboratory tests). In addition to receiving weekly reports, the CDC collates the reports and publishes them weekly in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, with a level of detail for states, cities, and counties that has never been seen in national surveillance of drug use or drug-associated problems.
About five years ago, a CDC steering committee was convened to help create integrated public health information and surveillance systems for the United States. The final report of the steering committee provides a comprehensive overview of the CDC's notifiable disease reporting system, as well as supplemental sources of public health information and surveillance. The report is remarkable for its scope and depth, but it is striking that it does not discuss the integration of surveillance activities or information on the use of illegal drugs, one of the foremost public health challenges that faces the nation.
At first, one might ask whether this omission is due to the highly sensitive and confidential nature of information about an individual's drug use. After all, a physician or other health care provider might hesitate to provide a report about an illegal activity. In counterpoint, it is possible to reply that the same types of consideration come into play with respect to other notifiable diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea, and one imagines that the confidentiality of notifiable information about HIV and AIDS cases is as sensitive

Make Your Own Babaganoush
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, August 16, 2011My family originates from the Middle East so it's traditional to find babaganoush alongside typical appetizers like hummus, tahini, pita bread, pickled vegetables and olives. Here are the basics to making a killer babaganoush.
The Eggplant
Babaganoush is basically a pureed eggplant salad. It's typically used as a condiment or dip for veggies and pita bread. Make babaganoush by selecting a shiny and firm eggplant that's heavy for its size. Rev up your oven and roast it for about 30 to 40 minutes until the center is tender. Some recipes call for peeled and diced or sliced eggplant, while others tell you to bake it whole. The main goal is to get the inside of the eggplant soft enough so you can puree it.
The Flavors
I like traditional flavors mixed with my babaganoush like lemon juice, olive oil, tahini (sesame seed paste) and garlic. You may find spiced up versions with tomatoes, peppers, jalapeno, thyme or basil. Experiment with your favorite flavor combinations and make it your own. Here's my recipe for Israeli-style babaganoush.
Traditional Babaganoush
Serves: 12
Serving size: ¼ cup
1 large eggplant, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place eggplant cut side up on a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until soft. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Scoop out flesh with a spoon; discard skin.
Place roasted eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in a blender; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium bowl and mix in olive oil. Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

text: Parrot Saves Sleeping Couple From Fire Pearly woke up his human pals in the middle of the night By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Jan 15, 2014 5:29 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (12) (Newser) – NBC Miami has a tale of a hero parrot credited with saving the lives of a Fort Lauderdale couple who were sound asleep during a house fire. "What we heard was a screeching like we've never heard before," Laurajean Niesel tells the Sun-Sentinel. "We thought maybe he got his foot caught in his trapeze." But no, 3-year-old Pearly was squawking to let them know the house was filling up with smoke. They called 911, and firefighters were able to contain the blaze to the laundry room. The going reward these days for a life-saving parrot? One apple. This isn't Pearly, but maybe a distant cousin.

The Bishop of Clifton's pastoral letter was read out at Mass today and concentrated on the environment and why we must all save the Ozone Layer. I overheard words like 'rubbish' being muttered on my way out of church, and not in the context of the need to recycle either. In a year that has seen Christians persecuted and murdered in Iraq, India and countless other countries, when our own country passed the HFE bill with the blessing of many Christian MPs, was there really no more pressing issue on which Bishop Declan could have made a stand?
Don't get me wrong, I am not against caring for the environment - we are the stewards of creation after all and I don't believe God gave us this beautiful world to abuse. What I do object to is the transformation of environmentalism into a quasi-religious cult. When I was at school, we were indoctrinated in the religion of 'The Environment' with fundamentalist zeal. At one point, our art project consisted of designing posters on an environmental issue, geography covered global warming, the hole in the Ozone Layer and deforestation, spiced up with comments like: "We have to teach Africans to stop having so many children" and in music classes we were taught hymns to the environment. I can still remember a few lines:
There's an otter pottering about down there / With his tail in the water and his nose in the air
Save the animals, don't let them die / If you've got any money you can at least try.
Africa! Africa! Please save all the animals in Africa!
As a result of my (not exactly unreasonable) questions about the apocalyptic vision we were having rammed down our throats, I was made to feel like a heretic. "The climate's getting hotter, is it?" It was a particularly chilly winter and we had woken up that morning to ice on the inside of the dormitory window. "Is that a promise?"
"We're all going to die!" wailed one of my class mates. "We'll be like little pieces of butter sizzling in an enormous frying pan! Is that what you want?!"
It is difficult not to smile, remembering it all, but it was no laughing matter. Children aged ten and younger were terrorised into believing that we were all condemned to an earthly hell of indescribable misery and torture, from which (in spite of all the insistence on the need to recycle aluminium cans and not eat at McDonalds) none of us could possibly escape. People like Dawkins condemn teaching children about Hell, but the secularist, environmentalist hell was more terrifying and merciless than the darkest circle of Dante's Inferno, because of its supposed inevitability and its punishment of both innocent and guilty.
I want my children to respect the natural world, but I do not want them to live in a state of fear and state-induced guilt about their presence in it.

10 Healthy Foods Under $3
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, May 12, 2009
It's a common myth that healthy foods come with a high price tag. Here are 10 foods overflowing with nutrients that won't bust your grocery budge. Stock up on your next market run!
#1: Non-Fat, Plain Greek Yogurt
Cost: $1 per 6-ounce container
Greek yogurt has a thicker texture and tangier flavor than regular yogurt — and that's a good thing! It's also is high in calcium, probiotics and contains no added sugar. Enjoy it with fresh fruit, added to smoothies or to replace half the mayo in any recipe. I use it instead of sour cream on baked potatoes and tacos. I like the Fage brand, which you can find in most grocery stores; Trader Joe's has their own brand as well. Buy in larger sizes (which will cost more), to get more yogurt for your buck.
#2: Whole Grain Pasta
Cost: $2.29 per pound
Every cook has pasta in the cupboard for quick weeknight meals. Whole-grain versions have the same calories as refined "white" pasta, but more fiber, protein and vitamins. You can feed 4 to 6 people with a pound of pasta (as long as you follow the serving sizes!), so it's an excellent, budget-friendly option. If you're not quite ready for whole-grain pasta, you may also like Barilla Plus, a whole grain blend with great texture and a milder flavor than whole wheat.
#3: Bananas
Cost: $0.39 each
You can't beat a healthy snack that costs less than 50 cents! A medium banana has about 100 calories, 3 grams of fiber as well as potassium and vitamin B6. Best of all, bananas are easy to transport (and come in their own sterile package). Add sliced pieces to cereal, oatmeal or a peanut butter sandwich for a more substantial meal. Apples and oranges — our other favorite, classic fruits — carry a similar price tag when they're in season.
#4: Brown Rice
Cost: $1.40 per pound
Like whole-grain pastas, brown rice has the same calories but more nutrients than the white variety — and you can take advantage of that for only a small price difference (about $0.03 more per ounce). I use rice for stir-fries, burritos and cold veggie and rice salads. A little goes a long way -– 1/3 cup dry rice cooks up to 1 cup.
#5: Frozen Peas
Cost: $2.19 per pound
Peas are nutrient-rich legumes. One cup has 6 grams of fiber, 7 grams of protein and more than half a days worth of vitamin A — all for only 100 calories. Frozen peas are a lot more convenient than shelling your own; plus, they keep for months and you can quickly add them to a variety of meals. I toss them into soups, salads, rice and pasta dishes to add some flavor, texture and fresh green color.
#6: Almonds
Cost: $0.33-$1 per ounce
Nuts may have a reputation for being pricey but as you can see, they are actually very budget-friendly – especially when you consider that 1 ounce is a proper portion for a snack (that's about 22 almonds). Almonds are a great source of heart healthy unsaturated fat, vitamin E and protein. So enjoy them – just do so in moderation.
#7: Eggs
Cost: $2-3 per dozen
Eggs are not only a terrific source of protein; they also contain omega-3 fats and vitamin B-12 for energy production. And no, they're not just for breakfast –- I like to whip up omelets, quiche or frittatas for easy, affordable weeknight dinners. A plain, hard-boiled egg makes a fast and filling snack, too.
#8: Sweet Potatoes
Cost: $1 each
Did you know a medium baked sweet potato has almost 40% of you daily vitamin C needs and over 400% of your daily vitamin A? Yeah, these babies are superstars. The bright orange color tells you that they are chock-full of beta-carotene — the antioxidant that helps protect cells from cancer or aging. Baked, roasted, boiled, mashed or even grilled, I love them anyway I can get them.
#9: Canned Beans
Cost: $1 per 15.5-ounce can
If you read Toby's post on the benefits of beans, then you already know how nutritious they are. They're also affordable, convenient and last in your pantry for up to a year. Just make sure to always rinse and drain them well before adding to soups, stews, salads and rice or pasta dishes — otherwise you're keeping unnecessary sodium. (P.S.: Buying dried beans in bulk is even cheaper.)
#10: Broccoli
Cost: $2.50-3 per bunch
One cup of broccoli has only 30 calories and more vitamin C than an orange (it's true!). Raw, steamed, stir-fried or roasted, broccoli takes on very different flavors, so experiment and see which you like the best (we do a lot of roasted broccoli in our house). Buy the bunch broccoli instead of the crowns; the stalks have a ton of flavor and you get more for your money. Add chopped stalks to stir-fry or shred them to make your own broccoli slaw.
TELL US: What's another low-cost, healthy favorite that's always in your shopping cart?

Just an FYI – all Trader Joe's labels are really the original brand food, just TJ's packaging. When an item sells REALLY well in the store, TJ's will negotiate with the manufacturer to make a TJ's package for it. ex: The TJ's Greek Yogurt IS Fage yogurt, zero difference. Cool.
Frozen items do have some additives including sodium.
Read your labels. -
I love black beans and rice, however, the black bean canned soup is even more 'sinful' because its got the good stuff (like a sauce)…Goya makes a low sodium canned black beans which is pretty yukky.But much better for you than the soup!

The Sony NEX FS700 4K for $8k
I don't know. It will record 4k, but apparantly only to an external recorder. How much is the external recorder going to cost? Will it be back into the Red Scarlet price range with everything needed to shoot 4k?
On the plus side, it has ND filters included, great for shooting outdoors. It's less than the Canon C300 and does 4k.
As always will need to see footage first, but sounds like a nice cam.
I'm not a fan of the E mount, but you can get adapters.

"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry. The song was produced by Lukasz Gottwald and Max Martin, who also co-wrote the song with Perry and Bonnie McKee at Playback Recording Studio for Perry's third studio album, Teenage Dream. Perry stated that she was inspired to write the track after a night of wild partying and streaking. It was released as the album's fifth single[1] on June 6, 2011 through Capitol Records with a remix featuring American hip-hop recording artist Missy Elliott released to U.S. radio stations and digital retailers on August 8, 2011, this version was included in Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection edition.[2] Musically, the song is a prominent Indie rock, disco, and Hi-NRG song with dance-pop influences, while the lyrics are about drunken fun and debauchery. Some of the risque lyrics in the song are often censored in radio versions of the song.
The song received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, with some of them highlighting its playful and catchy nature. However, critics were divided regarding the song's lyrical content; some referred it to as funny and sexy, while others dismissed it as lifeless. The song had chart success in North America, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100. It also topped U.S. charts like Hot Digital Songs, Pop Songs, Radio Songs, and Hot Dance Club charts, like all of her previous singles.[3] It also reached number one in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and has attained top-ten positions in Austria, Ireland, Italy and Poland.
With "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", Perry set a record for a female solo artist, having amassed five number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 off a single album.[4] This makes Perry the second artist in the 53 year history of the chart to amass five number one singles from a single album—the first was Michael Jackson.[4] The song became Perry's sixth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and her fifth consecutive number one single.[5] The song joins the set's first four singles, all of which reached No. 1: "California Gurls", featuring Snoop Dogg; "Teenage Dream', "Firework", and "E.T.", featuring Kanye West. After the song reached number 1 in the Pop Songs airplay chart, "Teenage Dream" became the only album in history to have 5 number 1's from the same album on that chart. Also, when the song reached number one in the Adult Pop Songs airplay chart, the album become the only album in history to have 4 number 1's from the same album on the chart. As of February 2012, the single has sold over 3,000,000 digital copies in the United States alone.[6] On January 5, 2012, according to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" was elected the tenth most played single on U.S. radio during 2011 with 450,000 plays.[7]
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld. The clip features Perry, as her 13-year-old alter-ego Kathy Beth Terry, at a house party filled with music and dancing. While at the party, Terry is made over by her friend and draws attention to herself as the life of the party. The video features appearances by notable music artists and actors, which includes Rebecca Black, Corey Feldman, Debbie Gibson, Kenny G, Hanson, and Kevin McHale and Darren Criss of Glee. According to the director, the inspiration behind the video was Sixteen Candles, works by American filmmaker John Hughes, and other 1980s high school films. The music video won Favorite Music Video award at the 38th People's Choice Awards.[8]
The title "T.G.I.F." is an acronym for Thank God It's Friday.

Perry has revealed that she was inspired to write the track after running naked through a park with her friends. According to Music Rooms, Perry claims that after a wild night of partying and streaking, she wrote the song about her antics and what she remembered the next day. Perry revealed: "There's nothing better than an impromptu dance party with my friends. My track 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' is a song about debauchery because I had one of those nights in Santa Barbara. We went out to this place called Wildcat and got crazy," Perry admitted: "We had a couple of beers and danced until we died, then brought the party back to the hotel room." She added: "Most of that song is actual truth, apart from the ménage à trois… unfortunately! But, yes, streaking in the park, that's what we did, so we had to write a song about it the next day!"[9] Bonnie McKee, the co-writer of the song stated "TGIF is pretty much a word for word description of our trip to Santa Barbara [with Perry], so I love that one. It's really catchy and fun and makes me nostalgic."[10] The official artwork for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" using scenes from the music video, shows Perry both before and after a makeover. She revealed the cover artwork for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) Remixes!" on her Facebook page. The photo features Perry in nerdy gear, including mouth guard and glasses, and was taken when she hosted the Teen Choice Awards in summer 2010. The image is surrounded by 1980s-style neon colors and swirly graphics.[11] A remixed version of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", featuring Missy Elliott, was released on August 8, 2011 to radio and digital downloads.[2][12] The remixed version omits the first verse of the album version, which is replaced by a new Missy Elliott rap verse, and includes an edit to the bridge, without the saxophone from the album version.[citation needed]

"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is an indie rock, disco, and Hi-NRG song with influences of dance-pop, which runs for three minutes and 50 seconds.[13][14][15][16] It is set in common time and has a moderate tempo of 126 beats per minute. It is written in the key of F♯ major and Perry's vocals span one octave, from C♯4 to D♯5.[17] It follows the chord progression B–G♯m7–D♯m7-C♯.[17] The song has received positive reception from music critics. Allmusic picked it among the top tracks on the album, and said that Perry "salutes fellow attention-whore Kesha on 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)'".[18] Rolling Stone said that "Perry likes her songs chatty; in the kegger romp "Last Friday Night," she chirps, "Think I need a ginger ale/That was such an epic fail".[19] Slant Magazine said that ""Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is a lifeless roller-rink jam with a "T! G! I! F!" shout-along that will no doubt provide the soundtrack to any number of trashy sorority parties this semester".[20] Spin Magazine said that "Last Friday Night recounts an evening of nonstop naughtiness – think streaking, skinny-dipping, and ménage à trois-ing."[21]
Now Magazine wrote, "The singer recently said that the catchy 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' is her version of 'I Gotta Feeling'. With lyrics about photos ending up online after a debauched evening, it's also reminiscent of Lady Gaga singing about drunkenly losing her keys and phone on "Just Dance." Derivative, sure, but the song strikes a perfect equilibrium between Perry's sex appeal and goofy, self-effacing charm".[22] The A.V. Club said that "assuming that everything here is based on real life also means we have to accept that she's had a ménage à trois on the indie-rock-meets-American Idol cut Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)".[13] The Washington Post said that "Over strummy guitars and zigzagging keyboards, Perry recounts an evening of debauchery with no repercussions, her innocent transgressions (streaking, skinny-dipping) mentioned in the same breath as more serious trouble (mysterious bruises, a blackout), but ... [when] it's time for Perry to reflect on her 3 am follies, she stiffly sings, "That was such an epic fail." It sounds like a clueless parent's attempt to speak teenager.".[23] Billboard included the song in their Five Potential Pop Hits for 2011 list.[24] Future Music Charts said that it sounds like a pop song as it should be without any auto-tune voice changes and hard dj beats, which is the song's strength and weakness at the same time".[25]
In a post on his blog taking the form of an open letter to Perry, comedian Rob Delaney takes her to task for glamorizing binge drinking, unsafe sex and, possibly, date rape in the song. He comments on it lyric-by-lyric, sometimes humorously (in response to the line "Yeah we maxed our credit cards", Delaney writes "Suze Orman would be so angry if I told her this.") but more often seriously. To the line "Don't know what to tell my boss", he says:
Why do you have to tell your boss anything? Were your exploits reported in the paper? Is your boss also your landlord? Wait—aren't you international pop superstar, Katy Perry? I would have thought you were your own boss. Uh oh, I think we're arriving at why this song is not just awful, but is in fact dangerous. You are playing a character in this song! A character based on the young female demographic you target your music at: young women who do have jobs and bosses and mothers and fathers and necks and vaginas which sure as hell will be damaged and violated if they subscribe to the ideas you foist on them with your songs and the confusing "goofy slut" persona you've created.[26]
"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" marks Perry the first and only female artist to have five #1 singles from one album in Billboard Hot 100 tied by Michael Jackson, with his last #1 single being "Dirty Diana", on July 2, 1988.[27] The song's first charting position was at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100.[28] It also charted at number 49 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart that same week. Following its single release, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on June 18, 2011 at number 63 and at number 31 on the Billboard Pop Songs.[29] The following week, the song jumped 63-31 with the Hot 100's "Greatest Gainer" award.[30] In its fourth week on the chart, "Friday" leaped to number four, spurred by a number one ranking on Hot Digital Songs. This made Teenage Dream the first album to have five songs hit number one on the chart.[31] The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, on July 30. The following week, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", reached a new position of number two, where it remained for three additional weeks, behind "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock.[32]
The song finally reached the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the issue dated August 27, 2011, and spent two weeks there. The song became Perry's sixth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and her fifth consecutive number-one single. Perry became the first woman in the 53-year history of Billboard to take five singles from the same album to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, equaling the record established by Michael Jackson 23 years earlier.[33] The song has also peaked at number-one on the Canadian Hot 100, and has became her fourth number-one single from the album. As of December 2011, the single has sold 2,579,000 digital copies in the United States.[34] "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" peaked at number two on the Irish Singles Chart. On the New Zealand Singles Chart it peaked at number four, marking Perry's first top spot miss, though it still managed to receive platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand, making it her fifth platinum selling single from her album. The song debuted at number 40 in Australia, and later peaked at number five in the country and going platinum. In the UK, the song peaked at No. 9 n the UK Singles Chart. On September 17, 2011, marked Perry' 69th consecutive week in the Top 10 with single.[35][36] As of February 12, 2012, the single has sold more than 3 million digital copies in the USA alone.[37] Worldwide it has sold over 5 million copies.[citation needed]
In an interview with MTV, director Marc Klasfeld said that the video's storyline was inspired by Sixteen Candles and other works of John Hughes, as well as "all those great '80s high school movies."[38] Including a long series of outtakes during the ending credits was influenced by a similar idea in The Cannonball Run.[38] The costume for Perry's character, Kathy Beth Terry, was inspired by the character Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera in the series Ugly Betty. The music video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" was filmed around May 3–6, 2011 at the home of John Schneider. It was directed by Marc Klasfeld,[39] and co-directed by Danny Lockwood.[39] Perry tweeted, "I told someone about my new music video I just filmed & they responded with 'wow, that's gonna break the internet.' ... Should I knock on wood?"[11]
The teaser of the video was released on Perry's YouTube profile on June 4, 2011.[40] Prior to the video's premiere, Perry created Facebook and Twitter profiles for her alter-ego of a nerdy thirteen year old, Kathy Beth Terry, who first appeared in one of Perry's hosting skits during the 2010 Teen Choice Awards.[41] Starting from June 8, a series of short video clips was uploaded on the Facebook profile, YouTube and Perry's official web version premiered later on the same day on Funny or Die. On July 11, after crossing the half-million "likes" mark, Perry released an interview in character as Terry on DigitalSpy.[42] Perry, in character as Kathy Beth Terry made various references to Rebecca Black and other guests on the video on her Twitter and Facebook. She also gave interviews to the Digitalspy, Australian Cosmopolitan and BOP Tiger Beat.[43][44]
The video went on to win Favorite Music Video award at the 38th People's Choice Awards.[8]
Kathy Beth Terry (Perry), a nerdy teenager with braces, headgear, and oversized glasses, has just awakened the morning after a house party, surrounded by passed-out partygoers. A male guest, Aaron Christopherson (Darren Criss) opens the door to her bedroom and congratulates her on having the "best party ever." Puzzled as to what happened, she goes online, only to find pictures of herself in various compromising positions, including one picture of her licking the stomach of the boy in bed next to her. The video then goes into a flashback of the events that occurred the night before. While doing a Sudoku puzzle, Kathy hears loud music from the house next door, and goes over to complain. She is greeted by Rebecca Black (who appears as an homage to Black's viral video "Friday"), who invites her in. A nerdy Everett McDonald (Glee star Kevin McHale) ogles Terry from afar and fantasizes about being with her.
Kathy, however, is more interested in Steve Johnson aka "The Jock" (model Richie Nuzzolese), an attractive football player, who turns her down because of her appearance. To cheer her up, Black gives Kathy a makeover, ripping off her headgear with pliers, waxing her upper lip, dressing her in tight-fitting neon clothes, and teasing her hair out. Steve becomes enamored with her, and everyone starts dancing. Kathy and Rebecca are also seen playing Just Dance 2 (a game that features Perry as DLC and they are playing the song "Hot Stuff"). Musician Kenny G, despite not having played the saxophone on the song's actual recording, plays the saxophone solo on the roof while Hanson act as the house band. The entire party ends up moving to Kathy's house, where she throws up after drinking too much. Everett punches Steve for trying to fondle Kathy's butt (visualized by him as a medieval sword fight with Kathy as a damsel in distress).
At the end of the night, Kathy finally passes out next to Steve. The video shifts back to the next morning, where she looks at the photos with regret, but is also ecstatic to have a naked Steve passed out in her bed. The film ends with former teen idols Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson as Kathy's parents, Kirk and Tiffany Terry, confronting Kathy about the state of the house; Feldman makes several references to The Lost Boys, in which he starred. The video end credits feature various deleted lines, bloopers, and extra scenes from the party, as well as Everett bringing Kathy breakfast in bed. After the credits end, it repeats the shot where Kathy gets tape ripped off her upper lip; her scream is heard this time.

On September 5, 2010, Perry performed the song live for the first time along with "Teenage Dream", "Firework" and "Not Like The Movies" in the show's launch of the Teenage Dream in Berlin. Though the song has never been performed live as part of a televised performance, the song is featured on the set list of the Teenage Dream Tour and California Dreams Tour. The first televised performance was during her presentation at Rock In Rio, which was broadcast live by the Multishow. During this song, photos of fans are displayed on the screens.[95] Her sister Angela Hudson portrayed the character on stage during some of the California Dreams Tour concerts in the USA.

News Release 210
Enforcement cases, recovery act update on agenda for Hazardous Waste Management Commission meeting
Volume 38-210 (For Immediate Release)
Contact: Larry Archer
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, APRIL 12, 2010 -- Two petroleum underground storage tank enforcement cases will be brought before the Hazardous Waste Management Commission at its April 15 meeting. The meeting will be held at the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Elm Street Conference Center, 1730 E. Elm St. in Jefferson City.
Department of Natural Resources staff will present the enforcement cases to the commission. The commission will decide whether or not to refer the following cases to the Attorney General's Office:
- Former Rowland's Amoco located at located at 801 Mitchell Avenue in St. Joseph - The facility currently has four steel underground storage tanks that do not meet current standards. Tanks constructed out of bare steel can corrode, which can result in a release of petroleum and harm the environment and public health. While it is permissible to use steel tanks, the department requires documentation from the facility that verifies the tanks have been and continue to be adequately protected from corrosion. The tanks must be properly, permanently closed.
- Facility located at corner of Highway 37 and Gibbs in Pierce City - The facility has four steel underground storage tanks that have been temporarily closed. A department inspection revealed three of the four tanks contained five or more inches of product. The department has not received documentation to verify the steel tanks have been adequately protected from corrosion. The tanks must be properly, permanently closed. Additionally, the site has failed to pay registration fees for underground storage tanks.
The commission will also hear updates on a variety of activities within the department's Hazardous Waste Program, including the status of the program's involvement with cleaning up abandoned underground petroleum storage tank facilities across Missouri with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources received $3.254 million through the Recovery Act to address abandoned underground storage tank sites. So far, Missouri has obligated approximately $2 million in Recovery Act funds to 68 former regulated gas stations to provide site characterization and cleanup activities.
Two new commissioners, recently appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon and confirmed by the senate, will be introduced at the meeting. Michael Foresman, St. Louis, and Charles Adams, Senath, were both appointed by the governor in February and were confirmed by the senate on March 18.
The Hazardous Waste Management Commission was established by state statute and promotes hazardous waste recycling, reuse and reduction; adopts and modifies rules to implement hazardous waste statutes; and establishes regulations for the management of hazardous waste. The commission provides oversight of decisions made by the department and rules on requests for variances from hazardous waste management regulations. The Hazardous Waste Program assists the commission.
A complete meeting agenda, including supporting documents, presentations and additional information about the commission is available on the department's website at dnr.mo.gov/env/hwp/commission/commis.htm. People requiring special services or accommodations to attend the hearing can make arrangements by calling 800-361-4827 or 573-751-3176. Hearing-impaired individuals may contact the program through Relay Missouri at 800-735-2966. For more information, contact the Hazardous Waste Program at 800-361-4827 or 573-751-3176.

Tomato grower in administration
PUBLISHED: 21 Feb 2012 09:21:22 | UPDATED: 22 Feb 2012 02:51:08PRINT EDITION: 21 Feb 2012
The agriculture industry hopes Australia's largest tomato grower can trade its way out of trouble after it went into voluntary administration.
SP Exports has placed its operations at Childers near Bundaberg in southern Queensland, and in Victoria, in the hands of administrators.
At least 60 jobs will go in Childers and a creditors meeting will be held in the town later this month.
Growcom, the peak representative body for Queensland horticulture, said it was tragic to see such a large operation in trouble.
Growcom chief executive Alex Livingstone was hopeful the company could survive.
"We're hoping that SP can trade its way out, sooner rather than later," he said.
"Just a couple of weeks ago there was a major glut of produce on the market.
"Growing conditions along the east coast have been pretty good and that's led to an abundance of product, and as the supply increases the price goes down."
Mr Livingstone said the fruit and vegetable industry has been erratic this year.
"It's up and down, it depends on the commodity, and it depends on the week and it depends on supply not only from your own area but other areas as well.
"I couldn't say it's abnormal but in some areas people are not getting a decent return for their product," he said.
SP Exports put more than 1160 hectares of farm land and four homes at Childers on the market last December as the company's owners battled to keep it running.
In March 2011 more than a million dollars damage was caused to a crop of SP Exports' cherry tomatoes in Childers after an alleged chemical spray drift from a nearby property.
Comment was being sought from SP Exports.

Jabir bin Abdullaah –RadhiAllaahu anhu- said the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- used to teach us al-Istikharah (a prayer said for seeking blessings in carrying out a decision) for all matters, just like he used to teach us a chapter from the Qur'aan, he would say: If any of you intends to undertake a matter then he should pray two Rakah other than an obligatory prayer then he should say the Du'aa of Istikhaarah.
Learn the Dua of Istikhaara – [Listen] Hisn Al Muslim Min Athkar Al Kitaab Was Sunnah – by Sa'eed Al Qahtani
Ibn al-Qayyim -Rahimullaah- said:
'So the purpose of al-Istikharah is to rely upon Allaah and entrustment to Him and the capability to fulfill the action with Allaah's Capability, His knowledge. And that Allaah chooses good for His slave, and this is from those things which necessitate being pleased with Allaah as the Lord. As a person will not taste the flavour of Eemaan if he does not have these things (reliance, entrustment etc), and if he is pleased with destiny after al-Istikharah then that is a sign of happiness.'
[Taken from 'Za'ad al-Ma'aad' by Ibn al-Qayyim 2/443-445]
Shaykh Muhammad bin Umar Bazmool said:
'That al-Istikharah is not done when a person is uncertain about the matter at hand; because the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: 'If any of you intends to undertake a matter' and that the whole of the Dua' indicates to this point.
So if a Muslim is uncertain about a matter, and he intends to pray al-Istikharah , then he should make a choice between the two matters and then pray al-Istikharah , and then after al-Istikharah he executes that matter, and if it was good then Allaah will make it easy for him and bless him in that, and if it was not good for him, then Allaah turns it away from him and makes easy for him that in which there is good by the permission of Allaah -Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

Refinishing Bathroom Faucets
Q. I would like to know if I could change my shiny brass bathroom fixtures to a bronze finish by spray painting them or using some kind of chemical to change the finish. Can I apply some kind of stripping chemical to strip off the brass and reveal the metal or is there another procedure?
Keisha Bergeron- Lafayette, Louisiana
Q. Did you find an answer to this question? I am wanting to refinish my current bathroom hardware from "shiny chrome" to antiqued copper. I've been wondering if spray paint for metal would work?
Tabitha Davis- Cocoa Beach, Florida
A. Hi Keisha; hi Tabitha. If the fixtures are solid brass (which many are) it should be possible to sand off the finish and get down to the substrate. With good polishing and buffing, this might leave an attractive dull brass color in place of the overly shiny bright brass or chrome look. But paint does not stick real well to brass even when you use a good Self-Etching Primer (and it doesn't stick at all without it), and this is a very high wear application, so paint doesn't really sound very promising. The ideal answer would be to send the faucets to a plating shop for real plating in the tone you prefer. But because of the issue of labor cost on onesy-twosy stuff, this is not cheap -- it probably costs as much or a little more than new mid-range faucets; sorry. If you do decide on paint, please let us know how it goes since many people ask, and there are many supposed "instruction pages", but we aren't able to relate many1 actual successes yet :-( Regards,

Spike MBathroom Faucets - L.A., California, U.S.A.
RFQ: I bought my house almost 20 years ago and I have all Moen fixtures. The bathroom faucet are single handle, bronze, with an antique finish (lacquer + polyurethane over polished bronze). I would like to know if there is a company that can refinish these faucets since the finish is coming off, but the faucets work perfectly. I called Moen but they indicated that the warranty prior to 1996 was just 1 year.
Carlos MHome refinishing - Bathroom fixtures - Houston, Texas, USA
RFQ: I have three (3) single-lever bathroom faucets in that I would like to change from a chrome finish to oil rubbed bronze. Is this a possibility?
Jolene Dconsumer - Houston, Texas
Hi, Jolene.
Unfortunately, economy of scale means it can cost more to replate objects like this than to buy replacements. If they are special for any reason (replacements don't fit, heirlooms, sentimental value) there is no problem having them plated. But if they take an hour and a half each, and the plater has to charge what a plumber or mechanic charges, it can cost more than you are comfortable with. Good luck.

A. Hi, Jacqui. You can try a self-etch primer, followed by a chrome toned paint like Plastikote Bumper Chrome Paint. Please advise if you enjoy any success. Regards,

Q. I have high end brass and chrome bath faucets/spouts. The brass is gold plated and wearing thin. Can they be refinished. How about PVD finishing and by whom? CJ Schatz- LA, California ++ A. You mentioned that these are "high end". You may already know it, but replating can cost more than "low end" replacements because the labor involved in plating individual items is very different than the labor involved when hundreds of faucet sets at a time are plated by an OEM. It is certainly possible to PVD some gold colored titanium nitride either onto nickel plating or onto real gold plating for wear resistance, but I don't know of any shops in the titanium nitride business who do the process for consumers.
February 23, 2010 Q. Hi, I am purchasing a house with a double sink. The faucets are gold toned, but I prefer satin silver or other silver tone. Can I remove these and have them refinished, without spending more than two new faucets would cost? Jenna Walker- Beverly, Massachusetts ++ A. Sorry, it's unlikely that the process will meet that price point, Jenna.
March 26, 2008
Q. Regarding rub n buff product. Can I use this to tone down a bright brass bathroom faucet. I've used this product before on headboards, lamps, frames, but nothing that I have to touch frequently like faucets. will this product work on faucets. Thank you PAULA MORGAN- Pompano Beach, Florida, USA November 26, 2011 Q. I have an oil rubbed bronze waterfall faucet that I used a calcium deposit removal cleaner on (the faucet lip and aerator parts). Even though I left the cleaner on only a minute or so, and thought I rinsed it well, I now have the finish coming off this faucet. I want to paint (by brush not spray) this area of the faucet and plan to make it looked antiqued in a copper color finish. What kind of primer do I need, and would a product like Rub N' Buff work on top of whatever primer you suggest. Open to all suggestions! Thanks. D Porterhandyman - Asheville, North Carolina |

Q. We have a spa-type bathtub with jets. All are brass-colored. We are remodeling the bathroom and wish to use brushed nickel. We have not been able to locate the name of the brand used in the fixtures. Can you give me some possible ideas on who may have made these, whether they can be replaced, and the cost of replating to a brushed nickel? The house is approximately 25 years old. Thank you.

Denver sirens are just a test, not doomsday signal
DENVER (AP) - Officials in Denver want people to know this is only a test.
The city is testing new outdoor warning sirens on Friday, and they're well aware of all the talk about the Mayan calendar and time running out for the world's population.
In announcing the drill, officials said they wanted to make sure that people knew that the wailing sirens didn't mean it was the end of the world.
A chorus of books and movies has sought to link the Mayan calendar to rumors of impending disasters ranging from black holes and solar storms to a change in the Earth's magnetic field.
Scientists say predictions of an impending apocalypse are a bunch of hogwash.

Historic Preservation Council to consider nominations for National Register One Nominee in Kirksville
For more information: 573-751-1010
Volume 37-133 For Immediate Release: May 14, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., -- The Missouri Advisory Council on Historic Preservation will consider nominations to the National Register of Historic Places during its quarterly meeting May 15 in Jefferson City. The meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 9 a.m. in the La Charrette conference room of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Lewis and Clark State Office Building, 1101 Riverside Drive.
Fourteen nominations are scheduled to be considered for listing in the National Register. Properties on the agenda include historic residences, commercial buildings, bridges and historic districts. In total, the nominations represent approximately 341 historic structures.
The following property in Kirksville is being considered:
Travelers Hotel opened in 1924 and provided first class accommodations to the college town and regional commercial community. Located on West Washington southwest of the courthouse and next to the rail line, it soon became the center for community activities and celebrations. Though the town had several downtown hotels by the 1920s, none were as large or provided the luxury accommodations offered by Travelers Hotel. In addition to 90 guestrooms, most with private baths, the fireproof hotel offered a large ball room, restaurants, and several commercial spaces and offices. It has had several owners in its history, including a Bible college that used part of the building as a dormitory while continuing to provide hotel accommodations. The hotel closed its doors in 2007.
Other properties located throughout the state that are being considered include:
- Fredericktown Courthouse Square Historic District, Fredericktown, Madison County
- Erlbacher Buildings, Cape Girardeau
- Blackwater Residential Historic District, Blackwater, Cooper County
- Munichburg Commercial Historic District, Jefferson City
- Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Excelsior Springs
- Oliver H. Dean Building, Kansas City
- Pythian Home of Missouri, Springfield
- Moorlands Addition Apartment District, Clayton
- Ladue Estates, Ladue Estates Drive, Creve Coeur
- Route 66 in Missouri, a National Register Multiple Property Cover Document
- Meramec River Route 66 Bridge, Eureka
- National Candy Co., St. Louis
- William A. Stickney Cigar Co. Building, St. Louis
In addition to nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, the council will receive status reports on programs provided by the State Historic Preservation Office and discuss business related to its own function and duties.
The Missouri Advisory Council on Historic Preservation is a 12-member group of historians, architects, archaeologists and citizens with an interest in historic preservation. The council is appointed by the governor and works with the Department of Natural Resources' State Historic Preservation Office, which administers the National Register program for Missouri. The council meets quarterly to review Missouri property nominations to the National Register, the nation's honor roll of historic properties. Approved nominations are forwarded to the Keeper of the National Register in Washington, D.C., for final approval.
For more information about the May 15 meeting or the council, call the State Historic Preservation Office at 573-751-7858 or the Department toll free at 800-361-4827.
