Our society is guilty of Ageism, the negative stereotype of aging adults based on the presumption of inevitable decline in intellect, memory, physical capacity, mobility, and sex drive. Depicted in media, greeting cards and jokes, it has been ingrained in the culture and reflected in the expectations of both young and old alike.
Well beyond the jokes and sitcoms, however, the downside is reflected in forced retirement, job discrimination and sub-standard care of the elderly, to mention only a few examples. On a personal basis it is reflected in a one-dimensional view of self that settles for stagnancy and decline and overlooks potential.
It is difficult to change a cultural perspective – but not impossible. There are increasing challenges to ageism worth embracing.
Medical advances – As expert on aging, Gene Cohen suggests, modern medicine now allows us to view negative body changes as modifiable age-associated problems – not destiny. With the help of medications, cardiac interventions, orthopedic joint replacement etc., people proceed with their lives with a capacity they could not have known years ago.
Research- Pew Surveys not only find older adults reporting more happiness in their lives than in their middle years, but researchers like Craig Bickhardt, find that neurophysiologically there is an increased potential for positive change and enhanced creativity in the second half of life.
Strength and Diversity in Numbers
How Does an Individual Maximize Aging Potential?
Positive aging, like happiness, is a multidimensional concept. It invites us to use all we have been physically, psychologically, cognitively, socially and spiritually while we pursue all that we still can be. It is facilitated by a flexibility of perspective, curiosity, creativity and connection.
Flexibility of Perspective
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
Les Brown

Feed Me Oil 2, from HolyWater Games, is the latest in a line of liquid physics games like Where's My Water? and Sprinkle: Water Splashing Fire Fighting Fun. What sets Feed Me Oil 2 and its predecessor apart, as you might guess, is that HolyWater Games have replaced the life giving liquid found in those other games with America's favorite fluid: oil.
The goal in every level is to get a splash of oil to travel from point A to point B, using various objects like spouts, fans and barriers. The physics of oil add a lot of interesting room for gameplay changes that wouldn't work with water, and the game does a good job capitalizing on that. Oil, as you might remember from grade school science, doesn't mix with water and many other substances, and that idea allows the game to play with puzzles that incorporate water as well. Trying to find ways to get the oil to move under water instead of floating right to the top makes for some creative puzzles.
In addition to oil, the game also makes use of a few different placeable pieces like a fan and a redirection spout. The spout is fun, but the fan is part of a bigger aesthetic problem with the game.
The game is about oil and often you're feeding oil to a tanker or machine of some sort. For some reason, though, as good a job as the developer did creating some interesting puzzles that use the oil mechanics, the art feels too random. At times you'll be feeding oil to a fox or an eagle or a pharaoh-thing. The art feels random, less in a quirky way, and more like they weren't quite sure what to put there but felt like they couldn't just have more industrial sequences. The visual themes are too loose, and there's little consistency.
And unfortunately, despite Feed Me Oil 2 costing $2.99 in the App Store, the game also makes use of in-app purchases. They go toward helper items—magic hands that will place the oil-directing items for you and lock them in place—as well as solution items that just show you how to solve the puzzle. You get a few of these to start, but you can't earn more without spending money.
Microtransactions like these in a puzzle game can be frustrating. When you've used up all your free hints and you run into another brick wall, you start to second guess the developer, wondering at every turn if the puzzle was designed to hold you up rather than be clever and interesting. Additional levels or special pieces would be a less frustrating, more innocuous use of microtransactions. If the game hit the same addictive vein that Angry Birds manages, it wouldn't be as big of a problem, but it just isn't quite there.
Feed Me Oil 2 is fun, but go in knowing that if you're the type that gets frustrated with puzzle games, you might end up quitting out or spending money when you find out you're a few stars short of the next batch of levels.

If the 4.8-inch screen on Samsung's Galaxy S III is too small for you, and the 5.5-inch display on the Galaxy Note II is too big, the 5-inch Galaxy Grand might be just right. That is, if you're willing to give up on having an HD touchscreen in your pocket.

Kin1 and Kin2 are Saccharomyces cerevisiae counterparts of Par-1, the Caenorhabditis elegans kinase essential for the establishment of polarity in the one cell embryo. Here, we present evidence for a novel link between Kin1, Kin2, and the secretory machinery of the budding yeast. We isolated KIN1 and KIN2 as suppressors of a mutant form of Rho3, a Rho-GTPase acting in polarized trafficking. Genetic analysis suggests that KIN1 and KIN2 act downstream of the Rab-GTPase Sec4, its exchange factor Sec2, and several components of the vesicle tethering complex, the Exocyst. We show that Kin1 and Kin2 physically interact with the t-SNARE Sec9 and the Lgl homologue Sro7, proteins acting at the final stage of exocytosis. Structural analysis of Kin2 reveals that its catalytic activity is essential for its function in the secretory pathway and implicates the conserved 42-amino acid tail at the carboxy terminal of the kinase in autoinhibition. Finally, we find that Kin1 and Kin2 induce phosphorylation of t-SNARE Sec9 in vivo and stimulate its release from the plasma membrane. In summary, we report the finding that yeast Par-1 counterparts are associated with and regulate the function of the exocytic apparatus via phosphorylation of Sec9.

Real Madrid defender Ricardo Carvalho will miss out on this weekend's El Clasico clash with Barcelona at the Bernabeu due to injury, the capital club has confirmed.
The Spanish heavyweights will go head-to-head for the first time this season on Saturday evening, with top spot in the Primera Liga at stake.
Real have confirmed on their official website that Carvalho has pulled a ligament in his right knee and will miss the showpiece encounter, having not featured for two months after being plagued by back problems.
Coach Jose Mourinho has an otherwise full squad at his disposal as Real bid to preserve their three-point lead over their rivals at the top of the standings.
European champions Barca sit second in the table having played a game more than Mourinho's side.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JuddZ Good refrigerator except for ice maker
Ice maker needs complete reset often since it stops dumping ice into the bin. The reset involves turning off the ice maker for 4-8 hours until all ice in the cube tray melts. Then unplugging the refrigerator and plugging back in to reset the ice maker. Then turn the ice maker back on and it starts producing ice in 3-4 hours. Left door is auto close if open less than 30 degrees but right door is NOT auto close contrary to product description. I would have given 5 stars if not for the ice maker issue. I recommend only if discounted. Buy the extended warranty because of the ice maker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by VK Good features but could have been even better
I purchased an LG stainless steel french door refrigerator about 3 months ago to complete my conversion from white to stainless steel appliances. My previous refrigerator was also an LG, white, and had the exact same dimensions so I knew this new one would fit in the space I had. My previous one was only five years old and did not have the ice and water dispenser on the outside like the new one. However, I feel my previous one had some features that are lacking in the new one. It had slide-out shelving instead of stationary shelves. I switched the shelves from my previous LG to the new one without a problem which makes things on the back of the higher shelves much easier to access for petite people. There's no reason the new refrigerator couldn't have had sliding shelves. The previous LG also had two gallon sized door bins on the right side and three on the left side compared to only one gallon size on the right side in the new one. That's quite a difference. It also had a handy small tilting rack in the upper front of the freezer drawer for frozen orange juice and other small frozen items. I also don't see any reason why the new one couldn't have this. I have no problem with the size and frequency of the ice cubes since I don't use ice too often. I never had any problems with the previous LG as well as the new one so far.

P Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, RAS, Moscow, Russia 3Laboratoire d'Océanologie et de Géosciences, UMR8187, CNRS, Wimereux, France Abstract. Wind and wave effects on tidal current structure and turbulence throughout the water column are examined using an upward-looking acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The instrument has been deployed on the seafloor of 18-m mean depth, off the north-eastern French coast in the eastern English Channel, over 12 tidal cycles, and covered the period of the transition from mean spring to neap tide, and forcing regimes varied from calm to moderate storm conditions. During storms, we observed gusty winds with magnitudes reaching 15 m s−1 and wave heights reaching up to 1.3 m. Analysis of velocity spectra revealed a noticeable contribution of wind-induced waves to spectral structure of velocity fluctuations within the subsurface layer. Near the surface, stormy winds and waves produced a significant intensification of velocity fluctuations, particularly when the sustained wind blew against the ebb tide flow. As during wavy periods, the variance-derived Reynolds stress estimates might include a wave-induced contamination, we applied the Variance Fit method to obtain unbiased stresses and other turbulent quantities. Over calm periods, the turbulent quantities usually decreased with height above the seabed. The stresses were found to vary regularly with the predominantly semidiurnal tidal flow. The along-shore stress being generally greater during the flood flow (~2.7 Pa) than during the ebb flow (~−0.6 Pa). The turbulent kinetic energy production rate, P, and eddy viscosity, Az, followed a nearly regular cycle with close to a quarter-diurnal period. As for the stresses, near the seabed, we found the maximum values of estimated quantities of P and Az to be 0.1 Wm−3 and 0.5 m2 s−1, respectively, during the flood flow. Over the storm periods, we found the highest unbiased stress values (~−2.6 Pa) during ebb when tidal currents were opposite to the southwesterly winds while, during the flood, the surface stresses slightly exceeded those estimated for a calm period. A comparison of obtained results gives a good agreement with those of other researchers working on direct measurements of turbulence in tidal flows. Citation: Korotenko, K. A., Sentchev, A.

Roundup Ready alfalfa varieties performed well in a 2011 variety trial at the University of Wisconsin's Arlington Agricultural Research Station, reports Dan Undersander, Extension forage agronomist at the university.
"Roundup Ready varieties were generally in the upper half of the yield range at Arlington," says Undersander. "This would indicate that alfalfa varieties have no yield drag due to the Roundup Ready trait."
Only seeding-year data is available, since planting the transgenic alfalfa varieties was prohibited prior to this year, he notes. The highest-yielding commercially available variety in the Arlington trial was a Roundup Ready variety treated with Roundup herbicide. However, due to field variability, alfalfa varieties must have a least significant difference of 0.5 ton/acre to be truly different, and several conventional and Roundup Ready varieties were not significantly different from the top variety.
The trial was conducted with Roundup Ready and conventional varieties planted in a standard trial and treated with the same herbicides. Butyrac 200 and Poast Plus were used to control weeds in those trials to minimize herbicide injury. The Roundup Ready varieties were also planted in a separate trial treated with Roundup.
Yields of the transgenic varieties were not significantly different whether they were treated with Roundup or Butyrac 200 and Poast Plus, says Undersander.

Every show is a point of focus for HBR. However, our hometown shows are something especially special. We only get to do about one San Francisco show a year, so we make it an occasion for a landmark show, a snapshot of what our year in music is about.
This October 4th at the Independent is going to be such a snapshot on a special night. This is one of the best weekends in San Francisco, Hardly Strictly weekend. We've played this awesome festival something like three times; this year we wanted to be part of the city's energy but play a full length show. We're going to emphasize special surprise guests and there are a lots of great pickers in town, so who knows who might come down. Front Country is opening–we've been very impressed with them and look forward to turning on our friends and fans to them. We're going to dust off some old tunes and show off some new ones. I'm looking forward to it! See you there. -Nat

Government approves new garbage contracts, issues order
A day after the High Court rapped the State Government and Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for failing to solve the garbage crisis in the city, the government approved the new garbage contracts for 77 packages.
BBMP Commissioner Rajneesh Goel told mediapersons here the government issued the order after approving the contracts. Now all what remained was for the BBMP is to issue work order. "But before that can be done, the new contractors have to submit implementation plan and other formalities. After this, the BBMP will enter into an agreement with the contractors and issue work orders."
Once this is done, the BBMP will issue termination orders to the old contractors.
Strict monitoring
A solid monitoring system will be in place before the new garbage contractors enter the field. They will be asked to submit daily reports.
"They will be asked to download the Android-based software, take photos and upload them on the BBMP website. They should take photos of pourakarmikas during attendance at all the mustering centres, black spots, and the cleared waste. Only then will their bills be cleared."
Currently only BBMP officials were uploading photos on the website. In 15 days, even the public may do so. "The photos will be geo-referenced. So, we will know the exact spot where and when they were taken. Once it is uploaded, the engineer concerned will be alerted to solve the issue immediately. After attending to it, the engineer will upload another photo."
Based on the recommendations of the expert committee, the BBMP will constitute a ward-level consultative committee with local residents and residents' welfare associations. This committee would have to develop local strategies to handle solid waste management and effectively use IEC (Information Education Communication) to create awareness. "Each ward will have its own Facebook page that will be maintained by the local engineers."
The BBMP had submitted the garbage byelaws to the government seeking its approval. However, the All-India Institute of Local Self Government had recommended some changes to the byelaws based on those in force in Delhi and Ahmedabad.

The collective Filopappou has shown work in major galleries such as Beton 7, Gazonrouge and the Museum of Cycladic Art, while other groups choose to use Athens as their stage.
The Nomadic Architecture Network recently organised Il Camino Commune, a mapping project using songs, poems and writing as an alternative cartography to plot the city.
Reconstruction Community, a collective of architects, artists and theorists, also supports ongoing research and projects related to the metropolis.
One innovative work produced by the group is a sound-map of Athens, which is available online along with essays and project outlines commissioned by the group.
Artists are taking the visible signs of economic downturn and appropriating them for creative ends, with empty shops often becoming home to pop-up exhibitions.
Other unusual spaces have been used as exhibition venues too: in spring, the gallery Camp (Contemporary Art Meeting Point) produced Back to Athens, a festival in the city centre where artwork was installed within shops, offices and restaurants.
Earlier in the year, Kappatos gallery arranged a three-week event showcasing the work of emerging artists across 30 rooms in a hotel in the Kolonaki district.
As well as exhibiting works such as Tout va Bien, Camp also schedules events that encourage further networking and sharing ideas.
Last month it organised Systems, which invited all the independent art groups in the city to come together and debate their viability at a time of crisis.
There has also been a notable influx of international artists, further helping regenerate the scene.
Last month, students at Athens and Madrid schools of art organised an exhibition called Thermopolis. One student was mummified in red and white tape on a street corner near Syntagma Square, while "welcome home" mats were laid across the pavements nearby.
In April, the Greek artist Augustus Veinoglou, who lives and works in Edinburgh, set up Snehta, an international residency programme for young British artists.
Selected artists are invited to spend up to three months in the Greek capital, where they are asked to create pieces in response to the city and exhibit them in Kypseli, the suburb where the scheme is based.

Reducing the decline in physical function that occurs with aging is important for maintaining independence. Better nutrition may help maintain physical function in the elderly. A recent study evaluating the decline in physical function and blood levels of nutrients found that vitamin E was beneficial in the elderly for maintaining their physical performance. In a 3-year study of 698 community-living persons 65 years or older, higher serum vitamin E levels were associated with better maintenance of physical function at a 3-year follow-up assessment. Researchers stated that low vitamin E levels might contribute to physical decline by: 1. Increasing oxidative stress leading to muscle or DHA damage 2. The exacerbation of atherosclerosis 3. The development of neurodegenerative disorders Bartali and others. "Serum Micronutrient Concentrations and Decline in Physical Function Among Older Persons." JAMA, 2008;299(3)308-15.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
Nursery sites are established in heavy thistle infested pastures
Biological control of Onopordum thistles is leading to greater productivity from formerly heavy thistle-infested pastures in South-Eastern Australia.
CSIRO Entomology has been searching for effective biological agents to control the spread of Onopordum thistles for the past 20 years. Onopordum thistles have a major impact on agricultural productivity in south-east Australia, where heavy weed infestation reduces pasture growth and livestock production.
The biological control program is aimed at reducing the density of thistle infestations in pastures to a point that makes their economic impact insignificant on farmers. The process involves long lead times, with agent populations taking many years post-release to reach damaging levels.
Bio-control typically requires more than one agent to control the target. For Onopordum thistles, a suite of agents that attack different parts or growth stages of the plant have been released.
Four agents released into the field during the 1990s, seed-head weevil (Larinus latus), stem-boring weevil (Lixus cardui), crown weevil (Trichosirocalus briesei), and petiole moth, (Eublemma amoena), have successfully established widespread populations.
In 2000, the crown-feeding fly (Botanophila spinosa) and the thistle flower-head gall-forming fly (Urophora terebrans), were released and their rate of establishment and distribution is being monitored.
A further three agents have been released through the program, two fly species and a rosette fly species, but these have failed to establish in the field.
CSIRO has used a number of biological controls.
First released in 1992, adult weevils are black in colour and grow up to 20 mm long. The larvae are the destructive stage, hatching from eggs during the summer months and boring into the flower head, feeding on the plant tissue and developing seeds.
A single larva has the capacity to destroy all the seeds in a 3 cm diameter flowerhead. Mature larvae pupate late summer and the newly emerged adults seek suitable refuges, often the dead stem of the thistle, to over-winter.
The weevil has been become widespread through active redistribution programs initiated by farmers and land owners. Infested thistle heads are readily collected prior to adult emergence and moved to a 'nursery' site that remains undisturbed for an extended period (for example, three to four years).
First released in 1993, adult weevils grow up to 15 mm long and are brownish to black in colour. Adults emerge in early spring and feed on leaves of Onopordum rosettes. Females lay their eggs into holes bored into the stem, which are plugged after egg-laying.
Newly hatched larvae bore directly into the stem and feed on pith and cambium tissue. Many larvae may develop in a single plant stem. Adults continue to feed on leaf tissue and oviposit until plants senesce and the weevils die. Pupation occurs in the dead stems and new adults hibernate there until the following spring.
Large numbers of adults can cause significant defoliation, weakening the growing plant.
First released in 1997, this weevil has one adult generation per year. Adults are 3 to 5 mm long and are mottled brown in colour. Adults emerge from their summer dormancy following autumn rains, and feed on rosette leaves.
Once feeding begins, females lay eggs at the base of the main leaf vein of the Onopordum rosettes. Following egg hatch, larvae eat the heart of the rosette, destroying the growing bud, which may kill the plant or lead to greatly reduced vigour. Mature larvae leave the plant to pupate in the soil. The new adults emerge in spring and estivate in the soil in summer.
First released in 1998, the adult moth is mottled light brown and white and 15 mm long. There are three adult generations per year, spring, mid to late summer, and early autumn.
The larvae attack both bolting plants and perenniating rosettes. The emerging larvae feed within the leaf petiole, eat the collar and bore into the crown of the plant and the root, then leave the plant to pupate on dry leaves or on the soil.
The summer generation has the greatest impact on the Onopordum population as development of the larvae is rapid and the perenniating rosettes cannot compensate with a comparable growth rate.
First released in 2000, adults lay eggs in the heart of Onopordum rosette from March to until they die in mid-spring. The developing larvae feed on the rosette bud and form pupae at the end of spring.
The adults emerge then estivate and hibernate over the summer months. Feeding by larvae reduces the growth of Onopordum rosettes during spring, which results in less vigorous growth of flowering stems and reduced seed production.
The impact of this fly complements the feeding behaviour of the crown weevil by extending the period of attack by biological control agents.
First released in 2000, adults lay eggs in the flowering heads in spring. Larvae develop in a gall formed on the receptacle of the head and mature pupae pupate in the gall.
The newly emerged adults mate and lay eggs in secondary buds of the thistles. This second generation over-winters in the galls as pupae and emerge as adults the following spring. Heavy gall set can lead to weakness and loss of vigour in the growing plant.

@Purplespark: The vascular plant called Lycopods actually dominated our landscape 400 million years ago. Some of their descendants are still around today. Have you ever heard of club-moss, fir-moss, ground-cedar or ground-pine? Those are the descendants of Lycopods. Just like their ancestor, these more modern plants mainly consist of small, flat leaves called microphylls and stems.
Also, they reproduce by spores. One interesting fact is that the spores of the club-moss actually have explosive properties. They were often used during the Victorian era in theaters to produce fire and flame effects.

A Gilt, Explorer Dial Submariner Ref 5513: You May Not Understand It, But You Should Want It
What do you get when you combine Rolex's prodigal son, the Submariner, with Rolex's most famous dial, the Explorer dial? You get a very rare and very valuable version of the Submariner, with an Explorer dial. We have featured one or two before, but we happen to think the one we've found today is particularly nice.
The reason that we like this Explorer Dial Submariner so much is that it comes with Rolex Service papers that actually describe this watch as having an Explorer dial, making the authentication process that much easier. It is also a reference 5513, which as we've said before is really the iconic Submariner to own.
A price isn't given on this Submariner, but we'd put it around $30,000 retail. This is a Submariner for a true connoisseur, and we're sure that's exactly who will end up owning this watch. Click here for the details of this gilt Explorer dial Submariner reference 5513.

Damn. For this kind of free publicity I'd serve bowls full of communion wafers. I'd set them out on every table like potato chips.
Kuma's Corner, a heavy-metal-themed burger joint in Chicago, has unleashed a firestorm of controversy after garnishing a cheeseburger with an unconsecrated communion wafer and red wine.
"We didn't expect this reaction. Apparently, today, someone's coming out to do a rosary prayer over our restaurant," said Luke Tobias, director of operations. "We've done plenty of burgers named after fairly controversial bands in the past to seemingly no visible effect. It's based on a band [The Ghost], just like every other burger on our menu."
The Reverend Emily Mellott, rector of Calvary Episcopal Church in Lombard, Ill., says the burger goes too far.
"The root of this burger is a mockery of one of the most important symbols of the Christian faith," Mellott said. "If the owner of the restaurant were a member of my congregation, I'd tell him to withdraw the burger immediately."
Have you any idea how many innocent vegetables are ruthlessly murdered every year, to satisfy the appetites of Vegetarians? A lot!
There is no such thing as an innocent vegetable. Murderers, rapists and thieves the lot of them. Yes, even the baby carrots.
Of course the baby carrots, too. All carrots are well shaped for penetration.
Thanks a lot, Ward - now, next time I'm served baby carrots, I'm going to think, orange suppositories!
Now, don't think about pickles, or worse, cucumbers. Carrots aren't the only ones shaped well for certain activities.
I've got the perfect menu addition: The Prophet burger. 100% USDA choice ground beef, American cheese, and two strips of bacon, served on Jewish Rye toasted with the image of Muhammad.
Hey, if the Yankees can manage it, why not the Prophet?
And that's exactly what I've thinking about another thread. Here with Catholics, we can find this amusing. If somebody did this with Mohammad, we'd need to be worried about the restaurant being burned down. If somebody did this with Mohammad in an Islamic country, even a nominally Islamic one, they'd have to worry about being killed.
Are you certain? I'd wager there are more death threats and acts of violence committed by overzealous Catholics in your country than Muslims, just by the fact that there are far more of the latter than the former. I remember when that Webster Cook kid took a Communion Wafer from a church he ended up receiving harassment and death threats from Catholics, but that's just not something we go on terror alert for.
No I'm not certain, you could be right. Certainly if we're only looking at THIS country you could be right. But compare a Catholic mocking sandwich in Chicago and a Muhammad mocking sandwich in Turkey and see how you end up.
Also, if you decided to go out and burn Bibles tomorrow, I bet you'll hear all kind of anger, even threats. But what do you suppose will happen if you go out and try to burn Korans?
But what do you suppose will happen if you go out and try to burn Korans?
Not much, to be honest. Anger and threats, sure, but physical violence? Probably not that likely.
I can't really compare sandwich controversy around the world. I don't have difficulty believing that Islam could very well be a disproportionately strict and violent religion, yet I am acutely aware that the impression I have of the religions in question is biased.
Also, if you decided to go out and burn Bibles tomorrow, I bet you'll hear all kind of anger, even threats. But what do you suppose will happen if you go out and try to burn Korans?
Terry Jones, a Christian preacher in Florida, has put Qurans on trial for "crimes against humanity" and then burned them publicly. The reaction: riots and deaths in Afghanistan, the sacking of US diplomatic missions in Egypt and Lybia (including the murder of the US ambassador), mass protests where he is burned in effigy, a $2.2 million bounty on his head, a rank of #2 on Al Qaeda's hit list, and hundreds of death threats.
Jones is a vile right-wing pig, but as far as I'm concerned he can burn a Quran or even 2,998 Qurans if he wants to (provided he gets a permit).
So what, he couldn't find two more to make it an even three thousand?

KINGSVILLE, TX — A Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine (OAM) crew together with a U.S. Border Patrol emergency medical technician (EMT) saved the life of an 11-year-old girl, Sunday.
The girl, who is from El Salvador, became lost early that morning after she was separated from a group of illegal immigrants attempting to circumvent the Sarita Checkpoint on U.S. Highway 77 North.
An OAM helicopter operating out of the McAllen Air and Marine Branch deployed with a Border Patrol EMT onboard to help agents on the ground search for the missing girl. When the helicopter crew spotted the girl, the pilot landed the aircraft nearby. The EMT and a supplemental aircrew member rushed to the girl, who was found soaking wet and shivering. This two-person first aid team quickly assessed the child's condition and then transported her to the waiting helicopter.
She was flown to nearby Border Patrol vehicles, where the EMT continued to administer first aid. The EMT determined the girl did not need to be hospitalized and she was transported to the Kingsville Border Patrol Station.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson has been criticized in the past for being a man of few words and, his detractors say, few grand ideas. But this year, he's pushing big-picture plans: A $2 billion lakefront redevelopment, restructuring the fire and EMS divisions and shutting off Public Square traffic to create a landmark park. We'll spend an hour with the mayor, and hear more than a few words on these and other topics, Monday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.

About Teen Pregnancy
Teen Pregnancy in the United States
In 2012, a total of 305,388 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a live birth rate of 29.4 per 1,000 women in this age group.1 This is a record low for U.S. teens in this age group, and a drop of 6% from 2011. Birth rates fell 8% for women aged 15–17 years, and 5% for women aged 18–19 years. While reasons for the declines are not clear, teens seem to be less sexually active, and more of those who are sexually active seem to be using birth control than in previous years.

Teen birth rates declined for all races and for Hispanics except for 18–19 year old American Indian/Alaska Natives and Asian/Pacific Islanders, for whom rates did not change. Among 15–19 year olds, from 2011–2012 teen birth rates decreased 6% for non-Hispanic whites, 7% for non-Hispanic blacks, 3% for American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN), 5% for Asian/Pacific Islanders, and 7% for Hispanics.1 Despite these declines, substantial disparities persist in teen birth rates, and teen pregnancy and childbearing continue to carry significant social and economic costs. In 2012, non-Hispanic black and Hispanic teen birth rates were still more than two times higher than the rate for non-Hispanic white teens, and American Indian/Alaska Native teen birth rates remained nearly twice as high as the white teen birth rate. The U.S. teen pregnancy, birth, sexually transmitted disease (STD), and abortion rates are substantially higher than those of other western industrialized nations.3
Non-Hispanic black youth, Hispanic/Latino youth, American Indian/Alaska Native youth, and socioeconomically disadvantaged youth of any race or ethnicity experience the highest rates of teen pregnancy and childbirth. Together, black and Hispanic teens comprised 57% of U.S. teen births in 2012; this proportion remained unchanged from 2011.1 CDC is focusing on these priority populations because of the need for greater public health efforts to improve the life opportunities of adolescents facing significant health disparities, as well as to have the greatest impact on overall U.S. teen birth rates. Other priority populations for CDC's teen pregnancy prevention efforts include young people in foster care and the juvenile justice system, and those otherwise living in conditions of risk.
The Importance of Prevention
Teen pregnancy and childbearing bring substantial social and economic costs through immediate and long-term impacts on teen parents and their children.
- In 2011, teen pregnancy and childbirth accounted for at least $9.4 billion in costs to U.S. taxpayers for increased health care and foster care, increased incarceration rates among children of teen parents, and lost tax revenue because of lower educational attainment and income among teen mothers.4
- Pregnancy and birth are significant contributors to high school drop out rates among girls. Only about 50% of teen mothers receive a high school diploma by 22 years of age, versus approximately 90% of women who had not given birth during adolescence.5
- The children of teenage mothers are more likely to have lower school achievement and drop out of high school, have more health problems, be incarcerated at some time during adolescence, give birth as a teenager, and face unemployment as a young adult.6
These effects remain for the teen mother and her child even after adjusting for those factors that increased the teenager's risk for pregnancy, such as growing up in poverty, having parents with low levels of education, growing up in a single-parent family, and having poor performance in school.3
CDC Priority: Reducing Teen Pregnancy and Promoting Health Equity Among Youth
Teen pregnancy prevention is one of CDC's top six priorities, a "winnable battle" in public health, and of paramount importance to health and quality of life for our youth. Evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs typically address specific protective factors on the basis of knowledge, skills, beliefs, or attitudes related to teen pregnancy.
- Knowledge of sexual issues, HIV, other STDs, and pregnancy (including methods of prevention).
- Perception of HIV risk.
- Personal values about sex and abstinence.
- Attitudes toward condoms (pro and con).
- Perception of peer norms and sexual behavior.
- Individual ability to refuse sex and to use condoms.
- Intent to abstain from sex or limit number of partners.
- Communication with parents or other adults about sex, condoms, and contraception.
- Individual ability to avoid HIV/STD risk and risk behaviors.
- Avoidance of places and situations that might lead to sex.
- Intent to use a condom.7
In addition to evidence-based prevention programs, teens need access to youth-friendly clinical services. Parents and other trusted adults also play an important role in helping teens make healthy choices about relationships, sex, and birth control. Learn about what CDC and other federal agencies are doing to reduce teen pregnancy.

Anybody who's spent more than two minutes around Amy Schumer knows that she has a favorite subject. And that subject is sex. Whether she's onstage at a comedy club or writing sketches for her hit Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer, or delivering one of her legendary celebrity roasts, you can wager your firstborn that there will be a joke about the process by which your firstborn was created. Sometimes this throws people for a loop. With her fresh face and her long blond curls pulled back in a cheerleader ponytail, Schumer looks like she could help you find a pair of jeans at a Gap store in Minnesota. She can make the word labia sound like the name of a teddy bear. "People see a picture of me," she says, "and they think, 'Oh, she looks so sweet! Kind of Amish! We should bring the family!' Then they get here, and I'm like, 'So, my pussy...' "
This undying appetite for dirty jokes, however, does not mean that she will acquiesce to just any old sex bit. Case in point: Last spring, Schumer was chosen to perform at a Friars Club roast with iconic pratfall virtuoso Jerry Lewis. She had become famous for her ruthlessly blue roasts; Lewis has famously and repeatedly voiced some crusty-old-guy opinions about female comics. (Recent example: "I cannot sit and watch a lady diminish her qualities to the lowest common denominator.") Sarah Silverman was followed by another lady comic, after whose set Jerry jumped up, hugged her, and then bent her over to mime sexual intercourse.
The same fate awaited Schumer. "He came up, and we hugged each other, and then he started pushing me back, trying to lay me down on the stage," she remembers. "So I buckled down and used my knees to stay in place, and he was in my ear saying, 'Lay down.' I whispered 'No' in his ear. Even after I said no, he was still trying. I had to use my core to stay up—he's a strong motherfucker." Eventually, Lewis gave up, and Schumer returned to her seat un-air-schtupped.
"I'm not going to be the girl who gets fucked after her set," she says. "Sorry, Jerry Lewis."
"What's next: herpes, or interracial photography?"
I am jammed onto a couch with Schumer and a handful of her Inside Amy Schumer writers at a small office in Midtown Manhattan where the team is editing footage for season two. The coffee table is littered with half-drunk bottles of green juices; Schumer is going to town on a bag of one-hundred-calorie popcorn. "Why is this the best popcorn?" she asks rhetorically. Jessi Klein, the show's head writer, deadpans: "It's not."
The first very funny (but not in a TBS way) season of Inside Amy Schumer was a humongous hit. When it aired in the spring of 2013, it almost immediately lifted her from being a pinch-hit celebrity roaster to the brink of massive stardom. In fact, it was one of those roasts, her 2011 onstage evisceration of Charlie Sheen, that helped her land the series with Comedy Central. (She also delivered a memorable punch to fellow-roaster/guy-who-used-to-hit-people-for-a-living Mike Tyson: "You have a slutty lower-back tattoo on your face. Men don't know whether to be scared of it or finish on it.") Now, as she polishes off season two, she's simultaneously writing a script for a movie that will be directed this summer by Judd Apatow. It'll star Amy Schumer playing someone a lot like the stand-up persona of Amy Schumer. It's called Trainwreck.
Today, though, is all about the TV show, and it turns out neither herpes nor interracial photography is slated next. Rather, it's a sketch about rape in the military, which is much funnier than it sounds. In it, Schumer is sitting next to her boyfriend while he plays a Call of Duty–type video game. When he gets up for beer, she takes the controller and tries out the game as a female soldier. But before her avatar can leave the barracks, she's blocked by a male soldier, and a message appears on-screen: "You were just assaulted by a fellow soldier. Do you wish to report?" What?! She clicks "yes." "Are you sure?" the game asks menacingly.
This kind of squirmy, statement-making material is Schumer's calling card. There is—for lack of a less PBS-y word—a message behind her sex-focused riffs, whether it's the sketch from an episode of the show last season about trying to organize a feminist gangbang (Susan B. Anthony's head finally explodes from all the conflicting gender dynamics) or her stand-up bit about the seesaw that is her self-esteem ("Some mornings I wake up and I'm like, 'How did anyone ever fuck meeee?' and then the next day I wake up and it's like 'My pussy's fucking magic!'") "The great thing about Amy," Apatow tells me, "is that she's honest—to a fault."

Also forgot to mention this…next time…use eye drops when you go in public or in front of a camera. Do some eye exercises where you try to keep your eyes from being less squinty. This will help you out. And avoid giggling like a hyena because that is a tell-tale-sign that you've visited Mount Everest. Because not everyone is on your same level of mountain trail. They aren't hating on you…You are not able to synchronize with their mindset. Although if you continue posting videos of yourself on the mountain, it might attract more attention to you and make you more money.
Goodbye and enjoy the game.
Your friend,

He is definitely stoned! trust me! ;) This is funny and sad at the same time. He is a demigod in the eyes of 11-15 year old girls. He chose this path and making money. These fans cuts themselves, drinking the same alcohol as the idol they want to wear the same clothes, etc….now the weed comming. Which of course can be good, at least the super-mega-beliberes calm down and not be agressiv. Rather the weed like the self-harm…..Moreover the world will be full of joyful girls!

"Simply the best browser ever"
Small (only 4.6MB) fast, extensible, safer, easier to use. FX is simply the best browser I've ever used. Since I started use it (since version 0.8) I never used IE again.
Update process still not that good.

L'Engle, Madeleine
Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) conducted a writing life that can best be described as one of perseverance. Best known for her award-winning young adult science fiction, L'Engle recorded in detail the long years of rejection of her work as "too dark and difficult for children." L'Engle was born in New York City, the only child of creative parents who encouraged her talents. Though her writing ability emerged quite early she was labeled shy and dull-witted in school, and those experiences had a lasting effect on her self-esteem.
After graduating college, L'Engle actually starting acting and found modest success in Broadway roles; she also wrote a handful of plays that were produced and published. Hers is a story of triumph following years of silence and frustration. She persisted because she felt compelled to, though she had nothing to show for her labors except rejection slips. Finally, she was rewarded now just with sales of her books, but also more then a dozen honorary degrees and numerous other awards. She also exemplifies the life of the working artist who is also an involved parent.
Major Works
- A Wrinkle in Time

Madeleine L'Engle Quotes
"You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children."
"A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe."
"I have a friend, a beautiful and talented young woman, who is afraid to have a child and who is afraid to use her talent to write. She does not yet understand the joy that follows the pain of birth. I've experienced the pain and joy of the birth of babies and the birth of books and there's nothing like it: when a child who has been conceived in love is born to a man and woman, the joy that birth sings throughout the universe." (A Circle of Quiet , 1972)
"I had to learn that I was a better mother and wife when I was working than when I was not." (Walking on Water, 1980)
"Many people in walks of life which do not involve creation are completely unaware of the necessity for discipline. It is not only that few serious artists who live lives of debauchery produce a large body of work but that few serious artists are able to live lives which are without interruption." (Walking on Water, 1980)
"Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth."
"To work on a book is for me very much the same thing as to pray. Both involve discipline. Inspiration far more often comes during the work than before it, because the largest part of the job of the artist is to listen to the work and to fo where it tells [her] to go. Ultimately, when you are writing, you stop thinking and write what you hear." (Walking on Water, 1980)
"If a writer says [she] doesn't care whether [she] is published or not, I don't believe [her]. I care. Undoubtedly I care too much. But we do not write for ourselves alone. I write about what concerns me, and I want to share my concerns. I want what I write to be read. Every rejection slip — and you could paper walls with my rejection slips — was like the rejection of me, myself, and certainly of my amour-propre." (A Circle of Quiet, 1972)
"Ultimately, you have to sit down and start to write. And even if all you do is type out "I can't write this morning; I can't write this morning; oh, bother, I can't write this morning," that will sometimes prime the pump and get it started." (Madeleine L'Engle Herself, 2001)
"To write consistently, I must seize opportunities. I write in airports. I write on planes. I find airports and planes and hotels excellent places in which to write because once I am in them I am not responsible for anything except my work…I am free to write." (Walking on Water, 1980)
"When i start working on a book, which is usually years and several books before I start to write it, I am somewhat like a French peasant cook.There are several pots on the back of the stove, and as I go by during the day's work, I drop a carrot in one, an onion in another, a chunk of meat in another… When it is time to start work, I look at everything in the pot, sort, arrange, think about character and story line. Most of this part of the work is done consciously, but then there comes a moment of unselfconsciousness, of letting go and serving the work." (Walking on Water, 1980)
"Now there are mornings when I joyfully sit down at the typewriter. But there are mornings when it is anything but a joy. There are evenings when I go to the piano and the music comes pouring from my fingers. There are evenings when I'm all thumbs and I have to make myself sit there and go over scales and finger exercises before I can play anything. The same thing is true with writing." (Madeleine L'Engle Herself, 2001)
"Risk is essential. It's scary. Every time I sit down and start the first page of a novel I am risking failure. We are encouraged in this world not to fail…I think that is a bad thing that the world has done to us…We are encouraged only to do that which we can be successful in. But things are accomplished only by our risk of failure. Writers will never do anything beyond the first thing unless they risk growing." (Madeleine L'Engle Herself, 2001)
"When my book was rejected by publisher after publisher I cried out in my journal. I wrote, after an early rejection, "X turned down Wrinkle, turned it down with one hand while saying that he loved it, but didn't quite dare so it, as it isn't really classifiable, and I am wondering if I'll have to go through the usual hell with this that I seem to go through with everything that I write…A writer is far too tied up in his work, if [she] is really a writer, to know whether it is second-rate or a work of genius. And how many writers who have been considered second-rate, and yet have persisted in believing in themselves, have been discovered and hailed as geniuses after their deaths / or writers who have been highly acclaimed during their lives have been forgotten forever shortly after? Or writers who are true geniuses have been discovered at all?…I for once have the arrogance to know in my heart that this is something good. But if it is constantly turned down will I be able to keep the faith that I still have in it? Will I begin to doubt?" (A Circle of Quiet, 1972)
"When we write and are published, we become naked before people…it's hard for us to open ourselves to rebuff…Every other writer I know, when you get ninety-nine good reviews and one bad review , what review stays in your mind? The bad one. And why? Because it awakens our own doubts. Did I really serve the work? Did I really hear it? Could she really be right and I haven't done it as I should have? If you're going to write and be published, you've got to expect to have a few arrows thrown at you. They're going to hurt, and you're going to bleed. You're probably going to cry if you're like me. But that's just part of it and you have to learn." (Madeleine L'Engle Herself, 2001)

The Great Stein Way!
I think Milt Stein's (1921–1977) style in comic books shows his affinity for animation as much as Otto Messmer's did when he was drawing the beautiful Felix comic books and strips. It's such a round, happy style! Milt's approach is so positive, I was surprised and saddened to hear he may have taken his own life. I don't know much more about him, though, aside from him working on The Return to Oz animated feature. I always asked old cartoonists if they had an knowledge about his life, with no results, really. None of the people I have interviewed even remembered him at all or his comics, which just shocked me because he was so very good. Once, while talking to Vince Fago, I forgot to ask if he knew of Milt. Vince was possibly Stein's editor at Timely and may have had some info. Regrets!
I'm thrilled to be reprinting the following story in my new book, The Golden Collection of Klassic Krazy Kool Kids Komics. I'm happy to preview it here, on ITCH, too. I understand there is going to be a review of the book on Cartoon Brew today or real soon. I hope some readers will find their way to ITCH via Jerry Beck's review and I want to welcome them and the esteemed member of the animation community here. Scrolling down, you'll see all the great stuff on ITCH by my fellow esteemed contributors. And down a ways you'll spy another strip by an animation guy, Jim Tyer. That's a The Golden Collection of Klassic Krazy Kool Kids Komics preview, too. As they say, enjoy!
