Andre Johnson took to Facebook to post a truly bizarre message on April 17, one day after the Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper cut off his own penis and attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the second floor of an apartment building.
Andre Johnson's self-castration and subsequent suicide attempt on April 16 was definitely shocking. Almost as puzzling, however, is what the rapper also known as Christ Bearer had to say on Facebook after the incident. We definitely did not see this coming.
Andre Johnson's Message: Suicide Attempt & Cut-Off Penis Leaves Him 'Blessed'
It's one thing to be positive when you're doing through a difficult time — but this is just plain strange.
According to TMZ, Andre posted the following message on his Facebook page on April 17: "Peace — feeling blessed." The post, which was accompanied by a smiley face angel emoticon, has since been deleted.
We're not sure exactly when Andre wrote that — before or after doctors told him that they could not reattach his penis — but either way, it seems very odd that he would have been in such a peaceful state of mind at ANY point during that traumatic day.
Andre Johnson Cuts Off His Penis In Suicide Attempt
Andre cut off his own penis and jumped from the second story of an apartment building in North Hollywood, Calif. on April 16, according to Los Angeles Police Sgt. William Mann.
Andre was seriously injured but he survived the fall and was rushed to Cedars Sinai Hospital, along with his severed penis. Sadly, doctors were not able to reattach his penis.
So what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are you surprised by Andre's Facebook post? Let us know.

Public Abstract:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, more than 1 million people suffer from heart attacks. Many of the therapies available to doctors today are aimed at mitigating the damage during heart attacks (e.g., by placing drug-eluting stents in the artery), preventing worsening of symptoms (e.g., by aspirin, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and lipid lowering drugs), or improving blood flow to the heart (e.g., by bypass surgery). These approaches are often ineffective in the long run because heart damage is irreversible, given that the heart generally cannot regenerate new heart muscles. This explains why, despite the best treatments available, patients with severe chronic heart failure have an astounding mortality rate of 20-30% per year. Furthermore, more than 400,000 new cases of congestive heart failure are diagnosed each year. Therefore, there is a great need to find new therapies aimed at the underlying process that will regenerate normal heart tissues in patients.One of the most promising areas of therapeutic research today involves the use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). hESCs have the unique ability to self regenerate and to transform into more specialized cell types. For these reasons, researchers are examining whether hESC derived cardiac cells can help regenerate heart cells and improve heart function. Most of the initial studies done in small animals so far have shown that indeed this is the case. However, current methods of differentiating hESC into cardiac cells is still not very efficient. Researchers typically end up with 5-40% of cardiac cells at best. Improving the efficiency and scaling up the production of these hESC-derived cardiac cells is one of our major goals in this grant. Another problem facing clinicians and researchers alike is that they have limited means of monitoring where the hESC-derived cardiac cells go, how long they survive in the heart, when they proliferate, and whether they can transform into heart muscles. Instead, they rely on indirect and often subjective measures for determining efficacy, such as changes in quality of life reported by patients, how long they can exercise on the treadmill, and whether there is any increase in blood flow after stem cell transplant. As for researchers, they have to sacrifice the animals at serial time points to analyze data. This limitation, unfortunately, prevents them from understanding how stem cells work to improve heart function over time. Therefore, we have teamed up with other scientists who use sophisticated imaging devices to track the fate of transplanted cells and process them afterwards using genomics analysis. These efforts will ultimately help explain the mechanism of how hESC-derived cardiac cells can improve cardiac function.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Coronary artery disease is the number one killer in the US. Even under optimal medical management, heart disease patients still frequently suffer adverse consequences such as repeated hospitalizations for chest pain and refractory heart failure symptoms. Stem cell based therapy may one day treat this devastating disease effectively. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC), for example, can transform into cardiac cells and provide an unlimited source of cell supply for cardiac regenerative therapy application. Rather than limited mitigation of symptoms, if hESC fulfills its full potential, it is foreseeable that diseased hearts may be repaired and restored to health. A major challenge to future clinical application of hESC-derived cardiac cells is to scale up production of these cells. Another concern is that these cells may become rejected or may cause tumor after transplantation. Thus, it is crucial to understand how these cells behave inside the living subject before advancing to clinical trials. Our grant is designed to address all 3 questions in a logical and effective manner: (1) how to scale up production of hESC-derived cardiac cells, (2) how to minimize immunogenicity and tumorigencity complications, and (3) how to determine their functional roles in living subjects using novel imaging techniques. Answers to these questions will lead to markedly improved cell transplant protocols that are more reproducible, quantifiable, and beneficial. With our experienced multidisciplinary team members, we are confident that we have the scientific and medical expertise to complete this project.

Bilingual Babes: Teach Your Child A Second Language
Join the Bilingual Bandwagon
When Louise Sanders adopted her daughter, Camille, from Panama, she thought it was important to teach her about her heritage. So just before Camille turned 3, Louise enrolled her in a Spanish-language school in their Tucson, Arizona, community. Now, at 3 1/2, Camille loves to sing Spanish songs, and sometimes she even answers questions more quickly when her teachers ask her in Spanish rather than in English.
"Kids this age are developing language skills rapidly, and they quickly absorb whatever they hear," says Erika Levy, Ph.D., assistant professor of speech and language pathology at Columbia University Teachers College, in New York City. "They can learn to understand new words in two different languages at an incredibly fast rate." And you don't need to enroll your child in formal language classes to hear her repeat words and songs in a new tongue -- just listen in when she's watching television shows like Dora the Explorer, Go, Diego, Go! and Sesame Street, which teach basic Spanish words to the preschool set. Lots of parents are also supplementing this elementary knowledge with bilingual books, toys, and CDs.
Why are so many families jumping on the bilingual bandwagon? "In our increasingly global world, parents realize that their kids will benefit from knowing more than one language," says Nancy Rhodes, director of foreign-language education at the Center for Applied Linguistics, in Washington, D.C. "There's definitely been a grassroots push for more bilingual education in preschools." Exposing your child to a second language will help him learn about other cultures. Research has shown that bilinguals tend to be more creative thinkers than those who speak one language, and one study suggests that their brain functions may stay sharper as they age.
Here's how to get your little linguist to begin learning.
- Start now. Two- and 3-year-olds are not only increasing their vocabularies, they're starting to recognize the speech patterns they've been hearing since birth. The earlier you introduce a second language, the easier it will be for your child to pick up its unique sounds. The ability to hear different phonetic pronunciations is sharpest before age 3, and we lose the capacity to hear and produce certain sounds if we aren't exposed to them early on, according to Fran?ois Thibaut, director of the Language Workshop for Children, in New York City. So just hearing a television show, listening to music, or learning a few words in a second language will give your child essential tools for appreciating it now and learning to speak it later.
- Create a casual learning environment. The best way for a child to learn to understand a new language is for him to hear people speaking it fluently, says Thibaut. If he's exposed to conversations, he'll begin to pick up the sounds and the natural accent. Choose a language that is spoken in your neighborhood, on a television show your child can watch regularly, or one that is offered in classes or playgroups in your area. "If you have a bilingual babysitter, encourage her to speak her native language to your child exclusively," says Rhodes. Two- and 3-year-olds love to mimic what they hear, and soon they'll begin to understand the meanings of short words and phrases.
- Teach a word at a time. If you don't want to do formal lessons, you can introduce bilingual basics by pointing out to your child that objects can have two names -- one in each language. "When my 2-year-old son, Constantinos, sees a spider, he'll say 'spider' to me in English and then say it in Greek to my husband," says Cassandra Attard, of Nottingham, New Hampshire. "He knows they mean the same thing." As your child learns new words, tell him what they're called in a second language too.
- Have reasonable expectations. Of course, a child won't learn to speak another language fluently from hearing words, watching videos, or singing songs. But simply being exposed to a language will help her understand phrases when she hears them. So even though you probably won't be having a French conversation with your child very soon, if you say "bonne nuit" every night at bedtime, she'll figure out what you mean.

Nowy Swiat, Warsaw
Concierge.com's insider take:
Nowy Swiat, which translates to "New World," is Warsaw's liveliest thoroughfare and connects the Royal Castle to Wilanow Palace (www.wilanow-palac.art.pl/index_en.php). Wide pavements are awash with courting couples ambling from bar to bar, along with people strolling around and scoping out the 19th-century architecture, chic boutiques, lazy cafés, and bustling restaurants, such as Sense. Check out the gardens surrounding the beautiful Wilanow Palace, and stop inside to browse through the exhibits—highlights include a collection of Polish portraiture dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry says four crew members were killed when their military helicopter crashed during a night training exercise in an area near the kingdom's border with Iraq and Kuwait.
A short Defense Ministry statement issued early Tuesday and carried by the official Saudi Press Agency did not offer a cause for the crash of the U.S.-made Black Hawk helicopter in the Hafar al-Batin area. It said authorities already have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
The ministry identified the dead crew members as Lt. Col. Ali al-Arfaj, 1st Lt. Majid al-Fifeefi, 1st Lt. Jadie Qablan and technician Raed al-Jahni.

Rehab Your Hair
Renew Moisture
Once a month indulge in a hydrating hair mask. A nourishing treatment rich in botanical oils, such as almond and sunflower, will penetrate deeply into the hair shaft, bringing softness and glossy color to even the most straw-like locks, says Dr. Fusco. She also recommends sleeping with a humidifier in your bedroom every night, especially when you start cranking up the heat. "It keeps your hair from drying out."

About Us
All our staff are naturally animal lovers and we want to give your pets the best possible care, attention and treatment available.
That is why Kinfauns is a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons accredited practice, under the RCVS Practice Standards scheme.
How Does This Benefit You And Your Pet?
The RCVS is the regulatory body for the veterinary profession and they set the standards for a practice to meet. The RCVS appoint independent inspectors who come and inspect our premises every four years. They can also do spot checks whenever they choose, thus ensuring that a very high standard is maintained at all times.
The inspection covers all aspects of a working veterinary practice. There are too many to list them all here, but some of the requirements are that we meet strict criteria for in-patient facilities and patient care, diagnostic, theatre and laboratory equipment, continuing education of our staff and high standards of clinical notes. We must comply with Health and Safety law for staff and for clients.
The physical aspects of the practice are also covered, for example cleanliness, accessibility and general maintenance.
Additional Accreditations
Kinfauns is a registered training practice for veterinary nurses. We must meet a comprehensive set of requirements in order to be a training practice. These requirements are set by the RCVS and the Qualifications and Curriculum authority.
The practice must provide a high level of care, equipment and facilities. We must also have the staffing resources available in order to provide training within the practice.
Two of the permanent veterinary surgeons and the head nurse have completed the training to be NVQ assessors for veterinary nurses. They must continue to attend further training sessions themselves in order to continue to train nurses.
We have successfully trained many student nurses to become qualified veterinary nurses.
Practice Owners
For many years the practice has been owned and run by Mike Harrison and Alan Smith, with the help of the other vets, nurses, receptionists and administrative staff.

Inside Brooklyn's federal courthouse, a curving cylinder of greenish glass and gray steel, Lawal Babafemi sat silently with his attorney at the defense table as prosecutors got ready to present their case. It was September 27, 2013, a warm Friday in New York, and Babafemi, a 33-year-old Nigerian man with a neatly trimmed goatee, was dressed casually in a blue-and-white-striped polo shirt. It's safe to say that he was the first magazine employee in the history of publishing to ever face a possible life sentence for trying to recruit writers.
Inspire, the magazine Babafemi allegedly worked for, is not your typical glossy. It's published by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and its special issue on "the Blessed Boston Bombings" contained twenty-two pages of glory and praise to Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. "They crossed their own finish line at 2:50 P.M.," read one article in the English-language digital magazine. "The real worthy winners of the Boston Marathon were the Tsarnaev mujahideen brothers." The issue hit its emotional crescendo on page 26 with a luminescent photo illustration of Tamerlan the martyr against a vision of heaven, a scarf tied loosely around his neck, designer sunglasses on his face, a pair of doves aloft in the sun-dappled clouds behind him.
"The brothers have been inspired by Inspire," wrote Yahya Ibrahim, the editor-in-chief. American investigators concurred. After the attack, they searched Dzhokhar's computer and, according to the indictment, found the first issue of Inspire, published in July 2010. The issue included an article entitled "Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," by "the AQ Chef." "Glue the shrapnel to the inside of the pressurized cooker, then fill in the cooker with the inflammable material," he wrote. "Place the device in a crowded area. Camouflage the device with something that would not hinder the shrapnel."
The Tsarnaev brothers, as we now know, were careful and obedient readers. They have also become the poster boys for the new breed of grassroots and "lone wolf" jihadists who are changing the nature of the terrorism we're fighting. In recent years, as it has become more and more difficult for Al Qaeda's dwindling leadership to plan and execute the kinds of grand attacks that made it famous, the group has focused on radicalizing would-be terrorists who live in North America and Europe and have no formal ties to known organizations. Just two months ago, on the twelfth anniversary of September 11, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian doctor who succeeded Osama bin Laden as the leader of Al Qaeda, released a video in which he praised the Boston bombings and rallied lone wolves in America to carry out similar operations. "These dispersed strikes can be carried out by one brother, or a small number of brothers," he said. Such tactics, he added, will "bleed America economically by provoking it to continue in its massive expenditure on its security."
These "brothers" won't train in the wilds of Yemen; they'll never scan the sky for drones above the tribal areas of Pakistan. But what they lack in sophistication and experience, they make up for in rage and the will to act. And they take their cues from Inspire. As Peter Neumann, director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King's College London, has said, "In almost all the homegrown cases that we've seen over the past three years in Britain and in America, it turned out that Inspire was on the hard drives of these people."
For years the U.S. intelligence community has wanted to capture and interrogate anyone associated with the magazine. Now, with the arrest of Lawal Babafemi, they may have succeeded. If the charges are true and if he cooperates, Babafemi could offer insight into the magazine, including how it functions, who is involved with it, and whether any Americans are connected to it. Babafemi has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.
According to the prosecution, the defendant went to Yemen in January 2010, six months before the first issue of Inspire was published. In the early days of the magazine, Anwar al-Awlaki, a top leader of AQAP, was a frequent contributor, and the editor was a man named Samir Khan. Both were American-born Muslims who had traveled to Yemen to wage jihad. At Babafemi's arraignment, the prosecutor said Awlaki arranged for Babafemi to be paid nearly $9,000 "to recruit other English-speaking individuals from Nigeria to train and work on behalf of [AQAP]. He worked with the media branch…to publish Inspire magazine." He is also accused of receiving weapons training from AQAP in Yemen.
Babafemi worked for the magazine until August 2011, the government says, at which point he returned to Nigeria and was arrested for unknown reasons. A month later, the CIA discovered the whereabouts of his AQAP bosses. On September 30, a drone killed Awlaki and Khan as they were traveling together in remote southern Yemen.
"One of the reasons Awlaki was targeted in particular," says Greg Markham, a former clandestine CIA officer posted to Yemen, "was because Inspire was so dangerous."
Markham (a pseudonym to protect his identity) and I were sitting at a corner table in a hotel lobby in a distant foreign city, and he was quietly telling me about the covert war the CIA has been waging against AQAP in Yemen since 2009. For years, until he changed assignments, Markham watched the buildup of the group from the CIA's station in the heavily protected U.S. embassy in Yemen's capital of Sana'a. The most active and dangerous Al Qaeda organization on earth, AQAP picked up where Bin Laden left off, with a focus on attacking the U.S. mainland, and President Obama responded with a long and bloody drone campaign that has killed hundreds of suspected militants. At this point, Markham says, the list of AQAP core leaders posing the greatest threat to the U.S. is down to three: the Yemeni emir Nasir al-Wuhayshi, leader of AQAP and onetime personal secretary of Bin Laden; the Saudi Arabian bombmaker Ibrahim al-Asiri, an endlessly inventive tactician who masterminded the failed Christmas Day bombing on a Detroit-bound flight in 2009, among other plots; and Inspire's current editor, Yahya Ibrahim, whose nationality is unknown.

Five Bargain-Shopping Secrets
By Kelli B. Grant
Special Offers
3. Learn the Sales Cycle
Retailers have specific days when they put out new stock and mark down merchandise, so ask the next time you're in the store and then sync up your shopping with its schedule. For instance, Chapman notes that her local Gap Outlet store seems to mark down merchandise like clockwork on Wednesday evenings yielding racks and racks of freshly discounted apparel for Thursday's shoppers. Many retailers move merchandise to the sale rack within six weeks of the time it first shows up on shelves. And at liquidation sales, the key date to ask about is closing. "Liquidation sales do offer good deals, but only right before the store shuts down for good," says Monica Pedersen, a designer for HGTV's Designed to Sell. At that point, you can reap savings of 75 percent off or better. Tip for thrift store shoppers: Most people don't have time to clean out their closets and drop off unwanted goods at thrift stores until the weekend, reasons Jennifer Sheran of Snellville, GA. That's why she visits on Tuesdays, when new merchandise fills the racks and the store is less crowded.
4. Weigh How You Pay
Know when to pony up the cash and when to rely on plastic; it usually depends on where you're shopping. At thrift shops, cash is typically the best option, says Pedersen. Stores may be willing to offer a discount in exchange for your helping them avoid the pricey merchant fees on credit card transactions but you probably won't know that unless you ask. To negotiate, ask: "If I pay with cash, might I be able to get a discount?"
But definitely stick with a credit card for liquidators and other places where sales are final, cautions Edgar Dworsky, founder of consumerworld.org, a consumer resource guide. "Sometimes you can't tell anything is wrong with the item in the store," he says. Many stores don't allow you to open product boxes or test items before taking them home; there have been horror stories stemming from going-out-of-business sales, including that of a couple who were stuck with a smashed flat-screen TV after Circuit City's closeout. When you pay with a credit card, the Fair Credit Billing Act gives you the right to dispute a charge for items that are not delivered as agreed. Many cards also offer helpful perks, says Dworsky. Most gold credit cards double the manufacturer's warranty, adding up to another year of free protection. (And did you know that if you buy a product with the Good Housekeeping Seal and it proves defective, it's Good Housekeeping, not the manufacturer, who replaces the item or refunds your money?)
5. Do Some Post-Purchase Research
Once you're home after making a major purchase, sign up for price-drop alerts through sites like priceprotectr.com. They can help you grab the onetime price adjustment many stores offer should the price you pay drop in the store or at a competitor shortly after purchase so if you buy a TV for $349 and then the price goes down to $319 a week later, the store could reimburse you for the difference if it has such a policy. In this economy, that's a move more and more retailers are willing to make.

I am an American citizen who wants to marry someone who is from another country, what are my options?
This depends on whether that person is in the U.S. now or if he or she is still in his or her own country. If he or she is out of the country and you are engaged, you can bring this person over as fiancée and then apply for your fiancée's green card.
If you married the foreign national in his or her home country, you may then file for an immigrant visa for the foreign national spouse, but they must wait in their home country for a visa to come current. In this case, it is possible for you to file a temporary visa that will allow the foreign spouse to come to the United States and wait for the immigrant visa to become available.
Finally, if that person is already here in the United States and you marry him or her here, it may be possible to apply for a green card.

Want to have a beautiful garden in fall? Then bulbs are the most anticipated flowers that would give an appearance of a new garden season and would bring all the colors back to bleak late winter. To plan the following year's bloom it is necessary to consider the effect and to conceal the bulbs' dying foliage. Never plant smattering of tulips and bag of daffodils here and there.
Below mentioned idea would help you to achieve great impact from the Dutchgrown bulbs:
Don't bind them:
While doing naturalized planting look for the species that could easily multiply on their own without being insidious. The location should be such that it could sooth you with the foliage of dying bulb once the flowers are gone. For instance, snowdrops, crocus and Sicilia are for lawns, species of tulips and dwarf daffodils are good for rock gardens and for fields and woodland checkered lily and larger daffodils could be used.
Give them companions:
The most inevitable ugly stage in gardening is the time involved in flowering for foliage to die back and store energy for next year's blooms. At this time nearby plantings should conceal the yellow leaves and take over.
Color it:
The bulbs would be having the same effect whether they are placed in a container or in a ground. Hence in autumn portable pots would be a better option and you could place it in garage or storage during winter. Thus you have an advantage to put the color right where you want.
Try different color combinations:
To have the most impact you could plant them in sizable groupings. It is advised to place the same variety together but you can place it random occasionally to have an accidental look of cottage garden. Finally, enjoy your beautiful garden with this pop of color that the bulbs give.

Order This, Not That: Panera Bread
by Toby Amidor in Dining Out, March 29, 2012It seems like Panera Bread is a healthy restaurant choice — they serve mostly soups, salads and sandwiches. But with so many options available, it can get confusing. Let us help you navigate the menu, with an easy-to-understand list of what to order at this chain, and what to avoid.
The bread with the fewest calories is the whole grain miche with 130 per serving. Other good choices are the whole grain baguette or whole grain loaf with 140 calories (each option also has 3 grams of fiber per serving).
Breakfast Sandwiches:
The Breakfast Power with Ham on Whole Grain weighs in at 340 calories, 15 grams of fat and 820 milligrams of sodium and The Egg and Cheese on Ciabatta has 390 calories, 15 grams of fat and 710 milligrams of sodium. To cut some of the sodium, ask for it without cheese.
Pastries & Sweets:
To satisfy your sweet tooth try the Chocolate Chipper Petites Cookies with 110 calories and 6 grams of fat or the Mini Scones, which range between 140-180 calories and 7 grams of fat each.
Sandwiches & Paninis:
You can order half sandwiches – most have a reasonable amount of calories (between 200-300). Pair it with a baked potato, garden vegetable or chicken noodle soup.
A variety of salads are between 170-450 calories. To make it a meal, be sure to include a protein like cheese or poultry. Remember, dressings count! Choose a lighter dressing or half portions (1 ½ tablespoons).
With 290 to 390 calories and 55 to 72 grams of carbohydrates, bagels aren't the best choice. The worst is the Cinnamon Crunch Bagel with 420 calories, 80 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fat. And that's all by itself, calories and fat go up from there once you add cream cheese or butter.
Baked Egg Souffles:
Just because the title says "baked" doesn't mean it's healthy. The calories of the 4 available soufflés range from 480 to 570 with many of the calories coming from fat (specifically the artery-clogging saturated kind). Each soufflé is made from a mix with an ingredient list that reads like a short essay. That's reason enough to steer clear of them.
With 590 calories, 118 grams of carbs, and 1,210 milligrams of sodium—the bread bowl alone will set you back 30% of your daily recommended calories and 53% of your daily recommended sodium.
Breakfast Sandwiches:
The Sweet Onion and Poppy Seed Bagel with Steak and the French Toast Bagel with Sausage, Egg, and Cheese both have 670 calories, 26-30 grams of fat, and 990-1,280 milligrams of sodium.
Pastries & Sweets:
Most of the delicious goodies at the baked goods counter will set you back at least a few hundred calories without providing many vitamins and minerals. The worst offenders are the Pecan Sweet Roll with 740 calories and 40 grams of fat and Cinnamon Chip Scone with 610 calories and 30 grams of fat.
Sandwiches & Paninis:
Three choices came in at over 900 calories—the Full Steak & White Cheddar on French Baguette (970), Full Italian Combo on Ciabatta (980), Full Sierra Turkey on Focaccia with Asiago Cheese (920).
The Full Chopped Steak & Blue Cheese salad has a whopping 790 calories and 54 grams of fat—not the healthiest lunch choice.

Donald E. Knuth's monumental book series The Art of Computer Programming has deep roots. When the distinguished Stanford Professor Emeritus Knuth began putting his ideas to paper, John F. Kennedy was president, Don Draper was Madison Avenue's hottest ad man, and most of us were merely potential zygotes. Publisher Addison-Wesley says that the first three volumes of Art of Computer Programming are "widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science". Practicing programmers have long applied his "cookbook" solutions to their day-to-day problems. Now comes the long-awaited fourth volume to compose a new four-volume set. The new volume 4 brings together definitive new coverage of broadword computation, combinatorial generation, fundamental combinatorial objects and other topics. Bill Gates has said that people who read the entire set should send him their résumé. If you get that far, we imagine Linus would love to see it too!
The OpenERP open-source suite of comprehensive business applications recently bounded up to version 6.0. OpenERP's eponymous developer noted that a number of factors warranted the release's designation, including advancement in simplicity and ease of deployment, the ability to build an ERP system at one's own pace, greatly improved affordability and accessibility for companies of all sizes, and more than 800 contributions from its global community of open-source developers. Further, OpenERP v6 now is available not only as an on-site version, but also as an SaaS platform, which the firm says "radically reduces the cost and complexity of an ERP deployment". Some of the hundreds of additional new features include extended multicompany functionality marketing campaign management, simplified accounting interface, tracking of tickets for support and after-sales services, push and pulled logistics flows, talent acquisition and manufacturing scrap management.
The developers at GrammaTech have released a fresh new version 3.6 of CodeSonar, a source code analysis tool that performs a whole-program, interprocedural analysis on code and identifies complex programming bugs. Version 3.6 adds two significant improvements, namely a significantly improved GUI, which streamlines developer interaction and boosts productivity, as well as a more efficient analysis engine, which can reduce analysis time on large code bases, says GrammaTech, by up to a third. GrammaTech also says that CodeSonar's unique strength is "its ability to identify far more program-crashing defects and security vulnerabilities than competing static-analysis tools". Another advantage is CodeSonar's new GUI that "enables developers to quickly digest key information, understand and identify the most important issues and prioritize fixes". CodeSonar runs on Linux, Solaris, Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and supports most compilers.
The developers over at The Document Foundation are giddy about their new LibreOffice 3.3, the first stable release of this free, power-packed and open-source personal productivity suite for Linux, Windows and Macintosh. Based on and containing all features of OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice contains the Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base applications. Some of the many new features include compatibility with SVG files, improved ergonomics in Calc, and Microsoft Works and Lotus Word Pro document import filters. The Document Foundation says it now has more than 100 developers working on LibreOffice.
Bibble Labs' bills its new Bibble Pro and Bibble Lite, both nudging up to version 5.2, as "an ambitious project to revolutionize digital photographic workflow", streamlining it to run "at the speed of light". The applications, according to Bibble Labs, offer tools for photographic editing and organizing capabilities all at "blazing speed in a sleek, modern interface". Version 5.2 adds, among other things, support for 14 new RAW formats, including Nikon D3100, D7000, P7000 and Panasonic LX5, GF2 and GH2, and includes significant improvements to the application's selective editing capability. Both Bibble 5.2 Pro and Bibble 5.2 Lite are available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Economic devastation of
small communities in
what's the right thing to do?
By Harvey Neese
Part II
This is a second article on the proposed take away of the
U.S. Forest Service managed, people owned forest lands in four counties: Latah,
should discuss
the right thing to do in
the proposed Upper Lochsa Land Exchange proposal. The current
proposal would trade away most of the people's owned lands managed by the Forest
Service in four northern counties of
The Forest Service Supervisor should have informed the
private buyer that he must
do the right thing in the proposed transaction—
poll the residents that would be most affected by a public land give away, those
living within 50 miles of the proposed land exchange. The survey would ask those
most affected by this proposed exchange, if they agreed to give up their public
lands to a private entrepreneur to trade for private lands in the remote
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) has been involved
in assisting to exchange these lands, owned partially by the people who would be
the most affected by this huge loss. There was no survey of the people most
affected by this proposed exchange by the RMEF or the RMEF members in the area
affected by the exchange. Did the RMEF
do the right thing?
The RMEF has been involved in a lot of land issues for the right reasons which
have been good for sportsmen and those using the lands for hunting and
recreation. However, on this proposed exchange, knowing of the large majority
opposition, the RMEF
is not doing the right thing.
What is the right thing to do in regards to the proposed Upper Lochsa Exchange? The right thing to do is for the Forest Service with assistance of the congressional delegation and other legislators on the Sub-Committee for Natural Resources overseeing trades and sales of the people's lands is to stop the exchange proposal and assist to organize a purchase of the Upper Lochsa Lands. There is considerable work such as tree planting, trimming, waterways, etc. that might qualify under the Stimulus Plan to obtain money for the purchase and rejuvenation work. The RMEF must join in with the majority of the people in striving for a purchase—this is the right thing to do for an organization that requires good public relations and donations for its worthy causes.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I guess I should try and stop the wet food and see if that helps - didn't even think of that.
Is cal/phos ratio something i need to worry about??? I know you want it low - but is 1.4/1 too high??? Fromm had the lowest (ugh yet another reason why I liked it) 1/0.95%. BB is 1.2/0.95 and TOTW is 1.4/1%. I just am concerned about bone health and do not wanna feed him something that will cause him damage. At what age do I not need to worry about the cal/phos levels?? Many of the adult foods have a high cal/phos ratio. Quote:
Is 5 months old, old enough for him to be on an adult food?? I was told to keep him on it until a year old. Quote:

Well, I finally found a food that is reasonably priced ($55 for a 40lb bag) and that Berlin FINALLY can tolerate! Hooray! And it is grain free and holistic and has probiotics and all that good stuff in there. Downside - there is only one place around me that sells it, luckily they are only about 15 minutes away. This was the fourth food I have tested so thank goodness.

we have had our Jerry Lee on fish and sweet potato grain free formulas since he was about 5 months old. Only thing he can somewhat tolerate without having watery poop. Currently we are on the costco brand ($32 for a 35 lb bag) but due to feeding Jerry a million pounds a day to get him to thrive properly we're probably going to go back to TOTW or Earthborn Holistic. I am off to the food store today to see if they have the fish formula in either of those foods. They do also have this food you mentioned too so I may take a look at that too while i'm there.

My 1 year old shepherd was on Blue Buffalo as a puppy. He did fine on it except for the occasional runny stools. When I took him off puppy food I did a TON of research on dog food. He is now on Acana Wild Pratie (Grain Free). He loves it and does great on it. We tried the Acana Pacifica but he would not eat that flavor. I also liked Solid Gold. There ingredients are good and it has a lot f protein for active/working dogs!
Good luck with your food search. It really is a lot of work.

In plain simple words, Fromm is theee best of those brand's, with Merrick a very close second. The others I am not a fan of. GSD's, especially puppies get loose stools quite often, to much water, over eating, eating bugs and other stuff puppies eat when we aren't looking. A little canned dog food pumpkin, helps, as long you have had him checked by a vet. Worm's, flea's, and other internal issues can cause bad poo. Sometimes certain dog foods, no matter how good they are, just don't work for some dogs.

Product Description
Kenmore Bagless Compact Canister Vacuum - Lightweight
Versatile and compact, this Kenmore bagless canister vacuum is light and easy to use. Cleaning floors, carpets, and rugs is simple with its bagless canister and retractable cord, and the transparent dust bin shows you exactly when it's time to empty the canister. Its compact size makes it easy to lift and store, while its 360-degree swivel hose and cyclonic design give you all the cleaning power you'd expect from a Kenmore vacuum.
- The Edge Grabber keeps powerful suction at the edge of the nozzle so it can pull dirt from floors and carpeting all the way to the baseboards, for a full clean on the first pass.
- The unique multi-angled floor nozzle offers a wide array of cleaning positions, so you can get the same deep clean in tight spaces and corners that you do in wide open areas.
- The 360-degree swivel hose eliminates twisting and tangling, so you have the flexibility you need for a deep clean in any direction.
- The Reach-Out telescoping wand helps you get to places you normally couldn't reach, cleaning window treatments, ceiling fans and other above-floor surfaces without a step ladder.
- Ideal for allergy sufferers, the HEPA certified filter captures maximum debris, trapping dust, dander, pollen and other allergens so exhaust air is clean and you can breathe easy.
- The built-in Bagless Canister gathers dirt in an easy-to-empty chamber that saves you the cost of replacement bags.
- Built to eliminate the trouble and tangle of rolling up the cord by hand, the retractable cord mechanism engages with the push of a button, wrapping up the job in seconds.

I bought for my carpeted stairs and was very disappointed. Very little suction, cord is only 5ft, wand is only 5ft. Kept it because it gets dog hair off tile flooring, no more broom and dustpan in my 2700 sq ft home! Save your money and get a higher powered canister, that can do carpet and flooring, I will have to buy different unit for stairs.

Light weight, that's a big necessity for me. Very simple design. The only complaint I have is the floor piece doesn't have a spinning brush to get deep in carpets. However it does seem to clean them. On a side note I have a small house with two carpeted rooms, three tiled rooms and one with hardwood

I thought this vac was very nice. Powerful and got along edges and in corners fantasticly compared to most vac I have worked with. Downfall of this product. It did not do carpets well at all...very disappointing. I would highly recommend for wood floors, vinyl etc...

I bought this a few months ago and by the second usage I knew I'd made a big mistake. The canister is difficult to clean and the debris goes everywhere; plus I need to use a second vacuum to get the short cat hairs unclogged from the filter--the little brush that comes with the cleaner does not clean it at all. About every three or four strokes the hose part separates from the wand and it hurts very badly when it hits your leg! No matter how secure I think it is, it still comes apart. Plus the retractable cord has a mind of it's own and will only retract when it feels like it. The dust attachment folds up and down and doesn't secure into place, so when I dusted yesterday it decided to fold down without my knowing and scratched my TV! I am online right now looking for a new cleaner...

I love this little vacuum cleaner. Its small and easy to use and store in my 1 bedroom apartment. It also works well on hardwood floors and swivels around furniture. I'm really pleased with the way it cleans up dust and dog hair, and I love emptying the canister, no more vacumm cleaner bags!

Had this for a couple of months now. Very easy to setup and use. This is good value for money and I will recommend this to a friend.

So glad to have a canister vac cleaner that does not need bags. Often trying to find bags for a sweeper a year or 2 after purchase is impossible. Now I don't have to worry about it. Love the telescoping wand and the sweeper head is amazing at cleaning up everything. It does a great job on pet hair and everyday dirt and dust. So very glad to have this Kenmore in our home
Sunland, CA
i purchased this vacuum from **** ,its new, but the problem is the way its made ,all the dust goes directly on to the inside filter and it clogs with in 3 minutes,i guess that you cant pick up dusting powder with this model , that is what clogged the filter ,3 teaspoons of dusting powder , there was nothing else on the floor . i had to stop the vacuum ,take it apart and ,clear the inside filter, if it cant pick up 3 teaspoons of dust ,what good is that ?, the problem is that the vacuum is made so the dust goes directly to the filter and sticks to it , maybe you can pick up small pebbles or something that does not stick to the accordian filter inside ,but good luck, i just wasted money, dont buy this vacuum , look for one that is made differently,this one SUCKS, not in a good way

Who doesn't want to live in Cambridge? The problem is finding something affordable. If your budget is below the $1 million mark, you can kiss goodbye any day dreams of restoring an old Victorian or even settling into a single-family of some sort with a yard. Welcome to condo country. The good news is that are some pretty cool places to look at. Here's a selection of "bargain" condos with price cuts under $850,000 – bargain being in eye of the beholder, clearly. Next
177 Pemberton St., Unit 18
View the listing
This 2,258 square foot townhouse at 177 Pemberton Street near Davis and Porter squares is yours for just under $850,000 – it was previously listed for $900,000. The four-bed, three-and-a-half bath unit is probably as close as you are going to get to single-family living in a condo, with a detached garage and a nice garden/patio area. Built in 1998, it's also relatively new, at least by New England standards.
2440 Massachusetts Avenue, No. 30
The owners of this two level penthouse unit in North Cambridge near Davis and Porter squares recently knocked the price down to $785,000. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath unit had been listed at $850,000. The price cut is fairly fresh – July 12 according to Trulia – so here's your chance. Bring your pets – you can have two, but Fido can't weigh more than 50 pounds. Next
10 Museum Way, Unit 1027
Ready for some high-rise living? The owner of this one bedroom, one bath condo at the Regatta Riverview in East Cambridge just dropped the price by $5,000, to $489,900. Not exactly a massive reduction for this 663 square foot unit, but hey, a little price cut is better than none. The tower complex, built in 1998, was originally named Museum Towers for its location next door to the Museum of Science. Lots of nice views of the Charles River. Next
I guess the previous price of $499,900 just didn't cut it. Kidding aside, this is one of two condos in a completely renovated, North Cambridge home that dates to 1850. The new price of this two bedroom, two bath condo is $485,000 after a $14,900 cut. The 1,122 square foot unit comes with cherry kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, and hard-wood floors, and a "sunny yard" – New England weather notwithstanding. Next
13 Edmunds Street, Unit 1
This two bedroom, one bath condo is a bit more affordable than some of the other places we have been looking at here. The ad bills its location as "up-and-coming North Cambridge" – fair enough. The 891-square- foot unit is now listed at $389,000 after a $10,000 price reduction. Back to the beginning

Group looks outdoors to heal wounded vets
Sunday, February 16, 2014
GILFORD — A new veterans support group is forming in New Hampshire, hoping to take advantage of the plethora of recreational activities available in the state to help wounded warriors.
"Then, three weeks into retired life 9/11 happened," he said.
During his research, Webber also found something that many people in New Hampshire instinctually understand — the healing value of being outside.
The retreats will also be open to first-responders.
"Once we can demonstrate that we've done this and know how to do it, we'll seek major donations," Webber said. |

The Social Spotlight on Rosé
We were pretty thrilled to discover that socially, we are up there with the big boys.
Two nights ago we were acknowledged as an influential wine company, picking up the award for 'Best Presence in Social Media' in the wine category at the Drinks Awards. For me personally, this is a tremendous achievement. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a social media tragic; Twitter (a personal favourite), Facebook, Pinterest, Blogs, LinkedIn, Youtube and Instagram (my newest playmate).
One of the major attributing campaigns to us winning this award was that of Rosé Revolution. Basically, 3 years ago, a bunch of us felt that premium dry Rosé should be celebrated so we decided to do something about it. Driven purely through Social Media and with very little budget (plus the boundless energy of Trish Barry from Mastermind Consulting), Rosé Revolution became a 3 years crusade involving 66 wineries to spruik the benefits and joy of dry (mostly pale but not all) delicious Rosé.
But how do you measure its real success? In our case, you can't do better than consistently selling out of Rosé each year. More importantly we have seen a much wider awareness of provencal-style Rosé; a wine that translates so well from the South of France to the Australian shores. Our climate is just made for it.
So to all of those like-minded wineries, restaurants, retailers and savvy Rosé drinkers that took a punt on supporting our crazy campaign 3 years ago; thanks muchly.

La Boheme Act 3; Amongst Friends
I love this wine. When we decided to add a Pinot Gris blend to the La Boheme Range, one could have thought that even Dame Nellie Melba would have approved of it. After all it was one of her favourite operas to perform. Named 'Act 3′ in the range , the Pinot Gris is backed up by Riesling and Geuwrztraminer and the result is a beautifully aromatic white wine. Very enjoyable on its own but quite chummy with salmon or chicken.

Rodeo clown gets up close and personal

By RANDY GONZALES
HILL CITY -- He might appear to be clowning around, but being a rodeo clown is serious business for Greek Ellick Jr.
That happens when a 2,000-pound ornery bull takes a liking to you.
Fortunately for Ellick and the two bull fighters he worked with Monday night, nobody was seriously hurt at the 61st annual Jayhawker Roundup Rodeo.
Ellick has had his share of injuries through his years in the arena.
"It happens, it's a full-contact sport; you're playing rugby with a 2,000-pound animal," Ellick said. "I've had my jaw broke, both my knees operated on, and looking at a shoulder right now -- really don't want to do that."
Andy North, one of the two fighters working with Ellick, has not been injured -- so far.
"I have been pretty fortunate, I have not been hospitalized yet," North said. "I've been having a pretty good go.
"It's as dangerous as we make it. We're professionals, that's the big thing. Not taking any unnecessary chances, understanding where we need to be."
The other fighter Monday, Josh Rivinius, appeared to be stepped on by a bull, but kept on doing his job, which is to protect the cowboys riding those bulls.
"When they're out there, we're there to get run over so they don't," North said. "That's our job."
Ellick said the two fighters who distract the bulls play important roles.
"Andy and Josh are the firemen of the arena," he said. "When everybody else is running out, they're running in to grab 2,000 pounds of hamburger that wants to tear your head off."
Ellick's job is to entertain the crowd during lulls between events. He has a microphone and earpiece he uses to talk to the crowd and the announcer while doing pre-planned skits.
"My main job is comedy and entertainment, take up the slack moments," he said. "Kind of like the 30-second Super Bowl commercial."
During the bull riding, Ellick is in his barrel at a distance from the gate where the bull comes charging out. He's ready to be a human pinata, if necessary.
"My main job in the barrel is comedy relief, but when things get really tight -- a bull might get somebody down -- I'll scoot the barrel up and come running.
"Anything to distract him, get him away, and everybody can get away, safe haven type of deal."
One of the bull riders the fighters made sure stayed safe was Corey Granger, from Zachary, La. Monday was one of those nights for Granger, who didn't stay atop the bull Without Warning the required eight seconds to score points.
"Just a bad night," Granger said.
Even so, Granger enjoys the rodeo circuit, traveling from town to town, state to state.
"I love it, got to love it to do it," he said. "My dad did it, all my family did it pretty much."
Ellick, from Rogersville, Ala., has been a fighter and a rodeo clown ever since he was little.
"Dad used me as a kid in clown acts," Ellick said. "Actually drew my first paycheck for fighting bulls at a junior rodeo when I was 6 years old. I knew what I wanted to do from that time on."
North, from Piedmont, Okla., teaches graduate courses at Southwestern Oklahoma State University when he isn't having bulls chasing him.
"Everybody's got something," said North, who enjoys the camaraderie and friends he's made on the circuit. "Some people go to the gym, some people go to a rifle range. I go to rodeos."
Bull riding was the last event Monday. Some events before it, such as the roping events, seemed to be hampered by the muddy arena. No problem with the bull riding -- just hang on for dear life.
Dale Newell of Damar said he enjoyed all the events, but really liked the bull riding.
"Save the best for last," said Newell, who also plans to attend Kansas' Biggest Rodeo in Phillipsburg, which has performances at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The Jayhawker Roundup Rodeo continues at 8 p.m. today and Wednesday.
While North is taking a short break before his next rodeo -- he's teaching class Thursday -- Ellick will pack up after Wednesday's final performance and head for a rodeo that starts Monday in Missouri.
He averages between 60,000 and 70,000 miles a year on the road, from January through October.
"It's a full-time job, really," he said.
"It's as busy as a guy wants to make it," North said. "Like Greek talked about, this is his livelihood."

Because a song about Elvis Presley makes you straight up glad you live in a country that was a pioneer in the It's-Okay-To-Move-Your-Hips-While-You-Dance revolutionary movement, AND is going to play 'Jailhouse Rock' at 80% of the weddings you'll ever attend.
Don't Stop Believing
Because, let's be real – everyone who lives here is "working hard to get their fill," and would probably be down with "payin' anything to roll the dice just one more time" just about all the time.
Sweet Home Alabama
Because even if you've never been south of the Mason-Dixon line, you're going to paint picture-perfect vision of it in your head…and want to take a road trip immediately. (Fun Fact: Lynyrd Skynyrd allegedly released this track as a "HEY - you don't talk smack about the South" to Neil Young.)
Eye of the Tiger
Because, without fail, as soon as you hear the opening chords you immediately envision the Muhammad Ali vs. Sam Liston fight in black and white, Sylvester Stallone sprinting through Philly, and the fierce determination of…The Karate Kid.
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Because – well, let's call a spade a spade, here. Isn't the title self-explanatory? Plus, there are VERY few 8-minute-long tracks that will make an entire bar want to take shots. Moving on.
Bad to the Bone
Round 2 of George Thorogood. Because you just can't not feel like you want to strut down the streets of a big city in your swaggerific leather jacket. It feels straight up American to be "Bad."
Jesse's Girl
Because we've all wanted to be Jesse or his girl at some point…or have like Rick Springfield confessing the crime of being hopelessly in love with his best bro's girlfriend. It's basically the most rock-worthy #FirstWorldProblem that could exist – also happens to be an ideal Go-To Karaoke song.
