The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) today announced the clinical investigators and institutions that will lead NIAID's newly restructured HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks in the search for safe and effective treatments and prevention strategies, including HIV vaccines. NIAID, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), supports the world's largest portfolio of clinical HIV/AIDS research.
"The new network structure expands our clinical research capacity and strengthens our ability to take advantage of emerging scientific opportunities," says NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "By creating a more integrated, collaborative and flexible structure, we will be better equipped to meet evolving global AIDS research priorities."
These leadership group awards represent the first step of the two-part restructuring process of the HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks. Awards for the Clinical Trials Units (CTUs), which will carry out the clinical research, are expected to be announced later this year.
Each leadership group will be led by a principal investigator and include a core operations group that will provide administrative and technical support; a statistical and data management center; and a network laboratory structure. The following principal investigators and institutions will lead the newly restructured HIV/AIDS networks:
"With these investigators providing the required leadership, the new clinical trials networks are well poised to help us move the next generation of HIV/AIDS research forward," says Dr. Fauci.
The six HIV/AIDS clinical research networks will focus their efforts on the highest priorities in clinical HIV/AIDS research. The leaders of each of the six new networks developed research plans detailing the specific clinical trials to be pursued during the next several years in one or more of the following areas:
Total funding for both the network leadership and the CTUs is expected to reach $285 million during the first year of operation. Because the leadership awards represent the first of two sets of awards for the clinical trials networks, NIAID is issuing these awards with provisional funding. Final budgets will be determined once the CTUs are selected, funded and linked with a leadership group(s) to fully form the networks.
Planning for the network restructuring began in October 2001, following extensive consultations with researchers, clinicians, nurses, patient advocates and people living with or at risk for developing HIV/AIDS. The restructured networks will capitalize on earlier HIV/AIDS medical advances and better position NIAID and its clinical research collaborators to address evolving scientific challenges and the changing face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The new network leadership groups will direct, coordinate and conduct NIAID-funded HIV/AIDS clinical research worldwide in close collaboration with one another, NIAID's Division of AIDS, other partner NIH institutes as well as industry and non-governmental research organizations.
Through the coordination of the NIH Office of AIDS Research, the other NIH institutes that plan to collaborate with one or more of the HIV/AIDS clinical trials networks and NIAID are the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism; the National Cancer Institute; the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research; the National Institute on Drug Abuse; the National Institute of Mental Health; the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke; and the John E. Fogarty International Center.

Apparently, if you are in New York and want to see exotic animals, you don't need to go to the zoo. All you need to do is tag along with some of the city's high-end real estate brokers.
Apartment buildings have become increasingly lenient with their pet policies in an attempt to accommodate the fact that nearly 2/3 of American households have at least one pet. The pet, however, is usually a cat or a dog. Real Estate Weekly, in their piece, "Exotic Pets Giving Real Estate Brokers Paws for Thought" reports that in the last 10 years, the demographic of the Manhattanite has changed and that brokers find themselves working with clients who have the money associated with purchasing and maintaining wild animals. This includes the cost of finding just the right house or apartment where their pet might go unnoticed.
Check through the slide show below to see some of the exotic pets these realtors have had to deal with.

Indy, Peyton Manning in awkward place
Spotlight shines on city as it comes to terms with possible departure of iconic QB
INDIANAPOLIS -- Three blocks from a brick monstrosity affectionately known as "The House That Peyton Manning Built," there is a smaller, much older place where Manning goes to decompress. It would be wrong to call it a hideout, though Manning does know the secret elevator code and often inconspicuously arrives through a side door. "THE EAGLE HAS LANDED" is the text sent among the staff at St. Elmo Steak House to alert them when Manning comes. On Sunday nights, back when the Indianapolis Colts were dominating, Manning would head off to St. Elmo after leading his team to victory and hunker down in the wine cellar. He'd study the rest of the day's football games on a flatscreen, installed just for him, dine on a filet and a Bud Light, and stay until the final game was over.
St. Elmo has been around for more than 100 years, and there is so much history between Indianapolis' favorite steakhouse and its favorite athlete. This is where Manning, a baby-faced rookie, reviewed his very first contract in the late-night hours before training camp.
This is where, 14 years and 11 playoff appearances later, all the celebrities and NFL bigwigs will hobnob this week when the Super Bowl comes to a small-market city made big by its franchise quarterback.
"It's a football town for sure," St. Elmo's owner, Craig Huse, said as he scrambled to make final preparations for the biggest week in the history of Indianapolis. Huse stopped and thought for a second.
"We hope it stays a football town."
It's a strange and uncertain time in Indianapolis, and if Huse wasn't sifting through hundreds of reservation requests, maybe he'd wax philosophical about the irony of this new chapter of the city's history beginning when Manning's is ending. There is a palpable excitement downtown, where the streets are being blocked off for a weeklong party. There is a sadness and uneasiness everywhere else.
When Indianapolis won the bid to host the Super Bowl four years ago, it never could have imagined this: That the big event would be played in the backdrop of a miserable 2-14 Colts season, with its seemingly unbreakable quarterback out with a neck injury and now presumably on his way out of town.
Is Peyton Manning done in Indianapolis? That -- and not the merits of the two Super Bowl teams -- was the big news last week. The Colts aren't saying anything except for an occasional statement that assures the masses all is well on West 56th Street. But change is thick in the air, from the firing of coach Jim Caldwell and vice chairman Bill Polian to the draft day that is looming with young phenom Andrew Luck waiting with the No. 1 pick.
"I think the mourning process has begun," said longtime Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz, whose lengthy and rare interview with Manning last week revealed a quarterback who is obviously uncomfortable with all the change.
Back at St. Elmo, Manning's friends are still holding out hope. They're big on continuity here. There's a guy who has been waiting tables since 1976 and a day porter who started in 1969 and is still on the payroll. If you're happy, why would you go anywhere? But in Manning's case, the decision is far more complicated and involves $28 million and medical terms such as "cervical neck infusion."
Huse visited Manning at his downtown condo a week ago, shared some wine, and steered away from talk about his neck or the future. Of course Manning will be around town this week. His brother Eli, quarterback of the New York Giants, is playing against the New England Patriots in Sunday's big game.
Peyton has a children's hospital in his name, but perhaps the most immediate indicator of how important he is in Indianapolis can be found in the city's rooting interest for this game. They are, unquestionably, pulling for the Giants, for Peyton's little brother. But they're also rooting against a team that became one of the Colts' biggest rivals in the Manning era. That's what Manning did here. He made football relevant.
"I'd like to see Peyton stay here a couple more years," Huse said. "I mean, there are a lot of intangible benefits from having a great football team in town. People used to drive in from their homes and get here 20 minutes before kickoff. Now it's an all-day event, the tailgating is huge, and it's all those things the other football towns do."
Shaping a city's growth
Indianapolis wasn't always a football town. And for many years, it certainly didn't look like a suitable place for a Super Bowl. For a history lesson, David Frick suggests that you view some aerial shots of downtown in the 1970s.
"At best," said Frick, a former deputy mayor, "there were two downtown hotels and the rest were motels."
"As a kid growing up, I think my best days were those days where the Indianapolis 500 and a Pacers playoff game would happen on the same day," Butler basketball coach Brad Stevens said. "Everybody would listen to the radio to all the pre-race talk, and then get ready to watch the Pacers in the playoffs. Days like that best summed up the experience of being an Indianapolis sports fan."
But things were about to change. In 1998, the Colts were coming off a 3-13 season when they picked Manning over Ryan Leaf with the first selection of the NFL draft. By his second season, he led them to a 13-3 record. And the city covered itself in blue jerseys.
Today, football is very important in Indianapolis, Stevens said. And Manning didn't just become the face of the franchise, he helped shape the growth of the city. For all of the fights the city's leaders had to wage to build the Hoosier Dome back in 1982, the pitch for Lucas Oil Stadium, which came with a $700 million pricetag, was much easier, Frick said.
The Colts were a huge success by then, and the city wanted what was best for its team. They knew the facility could lead to bigger things.
"If it wasn't for Peyton and the Colts' success, the decision to build the stadium probably wouldn't have happened," said Frick, who led the negotiations to bring the Colts to Indianapolis.
"Football plays such a predominant role in the psyche of a city. When we win, everybody goes into work energized and in a good mood."
A profound impact
Last week, as workers put the finishing touches on downtown, a group of friends who train truck drivers sat down for lunch at the Shapiro's Deli near Lucas Oil Stadium. Shapiro's, with its long lines to the door, its old-school floor tile and no-nonsense menu, in some ways represents Indianapolis. There is something here for everyone. The men at the table were talking about the death threats that were issued against the San Francisco 49ers' Kyle Williams after his two special-teams gaffes in the NFC Championship Game helped doom the 49ers. That would never happen in Indianapolis, the men said. People here are too friendly for that.
So they showed their support here last fall, throughout that unforeseeable season, and kept cheering. Their reasoning was simple. The Colts are their team.
It could've gone so many other different ways. Without Manning, Kravitz says, the Colts could be in Los Angeles right now. They could be dealing with blackouts instead of sellouts. They most certainly wouldn't be in this week's spotlight.
"His impact is profound in all the obvious ways," Kravitz said. "Peyton means a lot to the people here, not just as an athlete, an icon or a philanthropist. He sort of represents our better nature in our city. To think he won't be under center for the Colts It's just hard to come to grips with."
On Saturday, a group of foster kids from Child Advocates in Indianapolis was downtown playing at the NFL Experience because of Manning's donations. Manning has given his time and money to the charity since arriving in 1998, and the first time he met Cindy Booth, the organization's executive director, he came armed with a legal pad full of questions. Manning does this with everything he's interested in.
He asked if he could speak to the kids alone, and Booth said sure.
"It was his first year, and things weren't going so well, if you remember," Booth said. "He was relating that to the kids. He said, 'I'm in a city where I don't know anybody and things aren't going so well. I know it's not the same as being in foster care, but I really support you guys and I want to be involved.' "
Last summer, Manning took some of the kids to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game. He partook in a jalapeno-eating contest. He had no idea, at the time, if he'd play in 2011, let alone ever again. The foster kids gathered Saturday at the NFL Experience event, and Manning was on their minds. They said they wanted him to be a Colt forever.
"It would be sad to see him go," Booth said. "He's been one of us."
'Everything is out of his control'
Sorgi had just started doing a local TV show last summer when word came down that Manning would not play in the season opener because of his neck injury. While Colts fans were optimistic he'd be back, Sorgi took a more somber tone. It's a sad day, he told them. He knew it was serious.
"I felt like all of us took it for granted," Sorgi said of Manning's career. "We may never be able to see that kind of quarterback play again in this city for a long time."
And Indianapolis certainly won't see that kind of continuity for a long time. Reggie Wayne, Robert Mathis, Pierre Garcon and Jeff Saturday will soon be on the free-agent market. Saturday has been Manning's center for more than a decade.
But life, especially in the NFL, is constantly changing. People close to Manning say he has changed too. He and his wife Ashley had twins this past year, a boy and a girl, and Manning has immersed himself in fatherhood. He still doesn't do anything halfway and meticulously plans everything. Ashley had a birthday last month, and Manning threw her a massive party.
He made a video complete with old childhood photographs and Dave Matthews and Darius Rucker singing to her. He got George W. Bush to speak on the video. It appeared as though Manning had worked on the video for months.
"He has chilled out," Kravitz said. "He's a control freak, but fatherhood has liberated him in a lot of ways. He's very much at peace with his life, with where he's at, and even with the fact that for the first time in his career, he really doesn't have control over anything -- his future, his health, his employment with the Colts, his legacy.
"Everything is out of his control, which would normally drive him crazy, but I really sensed when he spoke to me that, even though he expressed a lot of frustration, he was at peace that whatever happens, happens. It's a transformation of sorts."
Huse senses it too. Manning doesn't come by St. Elmo after games anymore. It's too hard for him. "With the type of mind he has, he doesn't feel like he's earned the luxury of a meal," Huse said. "That's just the way he's wired."
But in between making his downtown condo more kid-friendly, he is booking reservations at St. Elmo this week for the Super Bowl, in the hopes of another Manning victory. And Indianapolis is rooting for them too in this strange winter of mixed feelings. They hope for a scenario that includes both Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. They know it probably can't happen. But in this little old city, they're supposed to dream big.

Nike Men's Hypervenom Phade FG Soccer Cleat
Durable, Cheap, Comfortable
I have personally had these cleats for a year before tearing. I play High school soccer and found these cleats extremely comfortable and durable for the price. The part that ripped on the cleats for me was the inside of my right cleat. I shoot, drag, and pass with that foot which is why im surprised it lasted that long. I was on these cleats everyday for nearly 5 months. Best bang for your buck for sure
January 6, 2015
This cleat is great!
Very comfortable, sturdy cleat. Great value and delivered on time.
October 29, 2014
very confotble and good support

September 28, 2014

the shoe does make my son's feet hurt after wearing for about 2 hrs. normally the balls of his feet.

August 10, 2014
size issues
The shoe was not in stock so I tried on the similar shoe in sizes I thought I would wear and found the "correct size". However when the shoes arrived the size was A LOT larger than the same brand and similar shoe. Need to be able to try on the shoe to get the CORRECT SIZE.
August 8, 2014
Nice shoes but high price
The shoes are nice but the version of the shoes are phade so for the price is a little bit high you can get them at sports authority for the same price and be in the version could be phatal so no I would rather have bought them at sports authority but if you want diversion phade you can buy them here at Dick's sporting goods but I would rather buy the better version (phatal) at sports authority for around 60 to 65 bucks
July 14, 2014
The cleats purchased were brand new. However after first use of the product they seemed to get worn out very easily and after second time use the damage to the exterior was way more prominent. Recreational use not for professional use that's for sure. Wouldn't recommend purchase of this product..
July 10, 2014
Great feel and price
I really like the feel of the cleat when in action! Having the cleat at a low price was great too because I bought 3 pairs, 1 is for practice, 1 is for home games and 1 is for away games. The style of the cleat is amazing. The cleat looks like it would be $180 or something like that.

A Word about Our Worship Services
We worship every Sunday morning.
From Labor Day weekend through Memorial Day weekend Grove offers two services of worship: the 8:30 Early Service and the 11 AM Service of Worship
From Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend, we combine these services into the one 9:30 AM service of worship.
The Early Service is a simpler service, more intimate, shorter, and less formal than the 11 AM service. Communion by intinction (coming forward to the table to dip bread in the cup of juice) happens every Sunday at the 8:30 service.
The 11 AM service features the choir, church organ, and traditional hymns. The service follows the three-fold pattern common among Reformed Churches: Preparation for the Word, Proclamation of the Word, Response to the Word. Communion, which is served by the elders to worshipers in the pews, happens every first Sunday.
Nursery is available during summer hours and the 11 AM service (more for the relief of the parents -- we love the kids making noise in the sanctuary).
At our home, we're big NCIS fans. Love Gibb's rules, such as always carry a knife. I've got mine. I also have my Church and Pastor rules…some of my own, most appropriated from lots of varied sources….
Bob's Rules for Congregations:
1. You cannot change the past, you can only change you
2. You'll never get justice in this world, ain't going to happen
3. Why do too many who are religious love God by hating everyone else? Religious folk need to get a sense of humor
4. If you hate those who hate, you're worshipping them, not God
5. You can only defeat negatives with positives, never by more negatives
6. We're in the redemption business, not the punishment business
7. God is a verb, never a noun (my pastor said this in confirmation class 45 years before The Shack was ever written)
8. If you want to be warm, stand near the fire
9. Wherever you find truth you find God, and truth isn't some kind of prize
10. Truth is nice, but without charity truth is an idol
11. People don't do evil on purpose, they do it because they think they are right
12. Things never are sacred, people are
13. You are like what you like
14. Do you really think your sin is bigger than God's grace? Are you that proud?
15. We err by focusing on outcomes rather than our source
16. Is what you think important today going to be important on your deathbed?
17. That someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they lack integrity
18. Stop spewing toxins by stop sucking them up
19. Jesus doesn't offer an ideology or an idea or a cause, he offers himself
20. Jesus is present tense
21. Your religion is a means to something far more important
Now, Andrews' Rules for Pastors (I'll save Rule #1 for last):
2. It takes 7 years before a pastorate is cost-efficient
3. 4 years before you have established credibility
4. You work for God, not the institution
5. First year? Shut up and listen
6. Don't worry about right answers, ask right questions
7. Tolerance isn't enough
8. Love isn't enough
9. Ordination is not a right
10. You probably weren't God's first choice either
11. Stop selling yourself or them a false bill of goods – trust and use who you are, not who are aren't
12. You're not good at everything
13. That was a good sermon, Bob, but so what?
14. They know what, preach how
15. Pastor, you have such a lovely church. Yes they are.
16. Can't fight negatives with negatives, only positives
17. When you get tired of talking about God, try talking with God
18. Be ready to discard cherished presumptions
19. Never get caught in a corner
20. If you're worried about losing your job, you're in the wrong business
21. What are you reading?
22. Only people are sacred, never things
23. You better learn how to wait
24. Really not concerned with pleasing my congregation
25. You say you don't take it personally, but you do – you do
26. Learnt more about being a pastor by selling paint
27. Most of your parishioners do work harder than you
28. You're not in charge
29. Screw church quarrels – care for children instead
30. They'll forgive a lousy sermon but not you missing them at the hospital
31. There is no day off
32. Jim Banks: never keep a couch in your office
33. Jim Banks: if you're not interacting with at least 5 persons a day (face to face) you're not doing your job
34. Avoid confusing the institution with the church
35. Don't expect the grass to be greener, or purer -- never found a holy church yet
Rule #1? Love God and do as you please.
Coming soon - Take a Virtual Tour of Grove

Triangle Loom Weaving @ Madison!
Signups closed for this Event
Join crafter Crystal Kitchens for another amazing class!
Learn to weave on a triangle frame loom with continuous thread, and how to finish and join the triangles. In this workshop we'll use a 36" loom to make a child's shawl or adult scarf. We'll have a fashion show of scarves, shawls, ruanas and ponchos to give you ideas. You'll learn how to make your own triangle looms in various sizes. No weaving experience is required.
For those who want a shorter workshop, spend three hours and use a 21" loom to make a neckerchief.
For those who already know how to weave on a triangle loom with continuous thread, you have two options: weave with continuous thread in other weaving patterns, such as twill and leno, and experiment with planning colors for plaids; or learn to weave with cut threads in the log cabin pattern.
The leader will bring all the tools and other supplies you'll need to use during the workshop.
Bring a sack lunch.
The maximum number of students is 10.
The supply fee is $8.

NBC2 News Online - Man finds arsenal in daughter's treehouse
EAST ENGLEWOOD: A man called deputies Monday night after he found three guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his 13-year-old daughter's treehouse.
Tom O'Connell built the treehouse in the back yard of his Van Loon Avenue home for his daughter.
"You have to come through here and then this flips up like this. So then you crawl up this ladder and they were laying right here," said OConnell.
What he discovered inside the treehouse Monday night was anything but child's play.
"I saw a sheet and a bag and I opened the bag up and I looked down and all of a sudden I saw a couple of guns in there," said OConnell.
"That is a little girl's playhouse. Why would you put guns up in there?" said Sally Hutton, OConnells girlfriend.
That's the mystery the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office is trying to solve.
Deputies recovered a pistol, a rifle and a shotgun, along with 343 rounds of .22 caliber rifle ammunition and another bag with 94 9mm bullets.
The 9mm pistol was reported stolen December 7, 2007 from a home on Coliseum Boulevard in Port Charlotte.
Empty cigar containers, two folding knives, a pair of earplugs and an empty Crown Royal liquor bag were also in the bundle.
"The most unusual out there was a sawed off shotgun. This is used in committing major crimes," said Bob Carpenter of the Charlotte County Sheriffs Office.
"I feel threatened," said OConnell.
"It's insane. It's insane. That's where she plays," said Hutton.
Deputies say it's lucky O'Connell found the guns, not his daughter or her friends.
"Some kids could have got a hold of this and there could have been a very tragic ending here," said Carpenter.
The sheriffs office took all of the weapons away. They are fingerprinting each gun, trying to determine who put the guns there and why.

"The Indeserian Tablets" is a complex, mesmerizing and beautiful short by Peter Rose. It begins with a quote from a poem which laments a vanished culture: "…of the tessellated gazebos and keening skies, only flameflutter and windflap." The quote is attributed to one "Rendaw Ipeck." The film is in the form of an archeological treatise on a fictional vanished people, whom Rose imagines living in a remote past, with an advanced technology which is quite unlike our own. One section describes the Indeserian writing system: "Their scripture used a two-dimensional system of notation, that made great demands upon the skills of ambidextrous scribes." This spoken text is accompanied by an image which seems to be of a bumpy rock, illuminated solely by two moving lasers, which indeed makes it look like an esoteric script written in two dimensions. (The accompanying sounds could be steel cutting through rocks.) All the film's images are similarly made by illuminating familiar objects and scenes with moving, hand-held lights.
An isolated shaft of light, hitting blades of grass, looks something like a complicated green crystal, which the voice-over text suggests was used for transforming biological energy into mathematical theorems, used "to terrorize enemies and beckon kinsmen." The sound, which might originally have simply been traffic, is transformed by reverb so that it sounds like a mighty factory, breathing in and out. Other sections examine esoteric religious cults of the Indesarians, art, gossip (which has its own, more flexible script), and astronomy.
Rose's visual technique, of illuminating unlit scenes with lasers, turning objects such as water, grass, and rocks into magical, abstract compositions of space, color and light, creates a sense of human vision which is active and tactile. The eyes are not mere passive receptors of images. The lasers act almost like extensions of one's hands, reaching out to caress the landscape, and to actively create the space. Because lasers impose narrow lines onto a three-dimensional space, they create linear forms which resemble writing. This gives the images a wonderful spatial ambiguity, where every line of light can be interpreted either as lines written on paper, or as a slice of a spacious scene, cutting up the everyday world and rendering it mysterious.
As the lasers touch the landscape, they are, in a sense, "writing" the scenery, creating constantly shifting tableaux through their tactile encounter with the visible. There is a subtle but profound connection, in this film, between the images, where lasers "write" on the space, making fantastically odd and gorgeous sculptural forms, and the accompanying faux archeological text, in which the author reaches into the collected literature of ancient civilizations, and uses these historical fragments to create his own invented culture, a culture with a barbarism and a sophistication which is strange and inspiring.
Reading the film this way helps to explain the feeling of awe created by a late section, in which we see laser lights caressing two open and turning hands, accompanied by the sound of bells. We learn that these hands were "the only licensed tokens of divinity. All other images were forbidden." To hold the light in your empty hands, so that the Word and the Image are formed in the moment, completely fused, is indeed a divine image.
The intentional satire of Rose's language, with its pretentious tone and made-up terminology, will, at times, be laugh-out-loud funny to anyone who has spent time in an academic environment. At the same time, his breathtakingly beautiful sound and image compositions will fill you with wonder. With "The Indeserian Tablets," Peter Rose is digging deep into the origins of language, vision, and creativity, and using his archeological findings to create a film of wit, intelligence, and awe-inspiring beauty.

Watching this, I was reminded of E. Elias Merhige's brilliant "Begotten," which seemed like an impossibly ancient creation myth recorded on papyrus film stock and then stored away in a cave for many thousands of years before being discovered. THIS short film's use of cryptic audio and visual information looks both alien and yet tantalizingly familiar. Pretty fascinating.

Do You Really Know What Your Kid is Saying on Facebook?
GoGoStat Parental Guidance Helps Alert Parents to Teen Slang and Popular Texting Shorthand to Enhance Online Safety
Redmond, WA (PRWEB) March 2, 2011
According to a recent study from TRUSTe, 80% of teens use privacy settings on Facebook to hide content from friends or parents. This combined with the use of new slang terms and text messaging shorthand can make it near impossible for even the most vigilant parents to have a handle on their child's online activity. To help parents keep their teens safe online, the makers of GoGoStat Parental Guidance are alerting parents to teen language as part of their free online safety application that supervises social media postings by kids.
A sample of online teen slang terms parents should know:
- 2lc — Ecstasy
- %- — Hung over
- Juggler "" Teenage drug dealer
- YSG –You're So Gay [gay in the slang derogatory term]
- GNOC "" Get naked on cam
- DOC — Drug of choice
- Kicker "" Oxycontin
- Barr — Codeine cough syrup
- KPC–Keeping Parents Clueless
Parents can monitor their teens' activity on Facebook through GoGoStat Parental Guidance, the first free application for supervising social media postings by kids. GoGoStat Parental Guidance, developed by former Microsoft employees at Schakra, helps keep parents apprised of inappropriate social media postings, contacts or cyberbullying in which their teens may be involved.
With GoGoStat Parental Guidance, parents are notified so they can act quickly and start a discussion with their teen when he or she posts new status messages containing "Ëœbad' words, vulgarities, drug references or other terms which could indicate cyberbullying, sexual predators or other unsafe activity. Notifications are also triggered if kids post new photos which could prove to be reputation-damaging or reflect risky behavior, as well as if personal profile details are posted that could compromise family security. Parental Guidance alerts parents to their teens' new "Ëœfriending' actions to reflect who's new, providing detailed charts including the ages and locations of friends. Parents are not required to have a Facebook account nor "friend" their children to take advantage of GoGoStat Parental Guidance.
"Education around online privacy has a long way to go," said Ron Stevenson, senior product manager at Schakra. "Some teens over-share, as do adults, yet the risks for teens are higher. We believe that technology together with regular family discussions can help alleviate some of the dangers of social networking sites."
"Young people have a vibrant and active life online. The key word here is "Ëœlife.' Most of the time, for most young people, that life is safe and very well lived, but not always and not for all," said Mike Donlin, consultant and former program manager for Seattle Public Schools' Prevention-Intervention program and Technology Services. "As adults, we have to become much more knowledgeable and involved in that life. We have to be able to help them over the rough spots. So, talk with your kids and use all the tools at your disposal. GoGoStat Parental Guidance can be one of those tools to help get your conversations going."
Parents, curious about your "Ëœstreet smarts'? Take the Teen Slang Quiz here.
For teen slang definitions, visit the GoGoStat Parental Guidance Blog.

An iPhone app for parents is available for free from the Apple App Store.

After experiences a seeming eternal dearth of watchable anime, I happened upon three GREAT shows.
Upotte Anime girls with assault rifles.
Girls und Panzer: Anime girls with tanks.
Strike Witches: Anime girls with WWII fighter planes for legs.
Yes, that's right, they all feature cute girls and assiduously detailed military equipment. I hope no one is surprised I like this sort of stuff. If you like this sort of stuff, you should check them out.
Now all we need is a new anime with 4th and 5th generation fighter jets.

Have you seen Monica Solorio-Snow's new print collection for Cloud 9 Fabrics, Sew Yummy? It's covered with adorable little sewing tools like seam rippers, pins, zippers, and scissors!
Monica's bright and happy collection is shipping to stores now, and I thought this would be the perfect occasion to update my Pincushion Organizer tutorial.
I made this one using 3 prints from Sew Yummy with Essex yarn-dyed linen blend in Steel. (Be sure to check out the rest of the prints here!)
The pincushion is weighted with rice, so you can perch it on the edge of your sewing table or favorite comfy chair.

Project Note: I have never had any problems using rice to weight projects like this. However, if you feel like rice would be a bad choice for your home, climate, or proximity to wildlife, don't hesitate to substitute the filling or your choice!
I hope you enjoy the project!

Where I disagree: Richard being a good man was an essential aspect to the overall theme of Supes alienation. Without the global and mythic responsibilities of a superman, Richard can afford to be a normal hero and have the normal life unavailable to Supes. When Lois was in peril, he could devote himself to the single task of rescuing her. On the other hand, Supes had to interrupt his attempt, turn around and attend to earthquake ravaged Metropolis first. His duties are far bigger than Richards even to the point of sacrificing himself to save the world. Thats something that Richard for all his nobility could never do.
Allow for a bit of poetry.
It's a description of the passing of generations. The "father" recedes into a more passive role (the "son") when his own son assumes the "father" role. In any case, the line is lifted directly from

A fair criticism. But SR had exactly as many "fights" as STM. So, again, as long as you dislike
films for that reason... you're being consistent.
I'm sorry I should have made that clear.
No I am not a big fan of STM either. I have many many problems with it. However, I excuse it and it's sequels to a certain extent, and can enjoy them with nostalgia like I do the Superboy TV series without being quite so critical, because of the time period during which they were produced, and the standard of superhero films/tv shows of the time.
SR has no excuses.

I think back to my father. As a farmer, he had a natural understanding for the Earth. I remember him telling me this world is capable of providing for all its creatures. Even now, with so many more people, there exists enough food for everyone.

Nebraska 54
(9-9, 1-5 Big Ten)
Penn State 58
(10-10, 1-6 Big Ten)
Coverage: ESPNU/WatchESPN
8:00 PM ET, January 23, 2014
Bryce Jordan Center, State College, Pennsylvania
Top Performers
Nebraska: T. Petteway 15 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk
Penn State: T. Frazier 11 Pts, 9 Reb, 6 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- It wasn't pretty and it wasn't easy, but Penn State finally managed its first Big Ten Conference win of the season.
D.J. Newbill scored 16 points to lead the Nittany Lions past Nebraska 58-54 Thursday night at the Bryce Jordan Center.After several near misses, including a loss to Purdue Saturday in which the Nittany Lions led by three with 16 seconds to go but lost at the buzzer, Penn State was able to finally close out a game."I think it's great for us," Penn State player Tim Frazier said. "In our last couple games we've been right there. Finally we were able to finish out a game. The ball bounced our way."John Johnson scored 13 for the Nittany Lions (10-10, 1-6), and Brandon Taylor and Frazier each had 11.Terran Petteway paced the Cornhuskers (9-9, 1-5) with 15, and Ray Gallegos added 10.Nebraska coach Tim Miles sounded like a coach that knew his team let one slip away."I thought our kids kept fighting. We had basically given the game up with some silly turnovers earlier than that. You've just got to keep fighting," he said.With the breakthrough Big-Ten win finally in hand, Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said he had thoughts of affirmation instead of relief."That's Penn State basketball. That's it," he said. "We work hard and that's what I want to see. I want to see my guys make winning plays."Nebraska led 29-22 at halftime, but Penn State grabbed a 47-45 lead with 4:19 left in the second when Newbill scored on a driving layup.The Huskers replied with a trey by Shavon Shields, but Taylor made a free throw and Donovan Jack made a putback to pull Penn State within 51-50.Penn State's full-court press forced a turnover, with Frazier diving for the loose ball, then passing it from the sitting position to Newbill, who threw down a thunderous dunk and was fouled. He made the free throw and Penn State never trailed again."It was just instinct. I dove, I got the ball, I saw him up there, I threw it and he made a tremendous play," Frazier said.Newbill gave all the credit to Frazier."Tim just made a great play," he said. "I just finished it.Frazier downplayed the significance of that single play."Obviously that was the play that is going to be magnified because it was so magnificent with the dunk," he said. "I think a lot of things happened that we had to finish the game. That was something we've been trying to do for the last couple games. We finally did."On Penn State's next possession, Frazier passed to a wide-open Johnson beyond the arc as the clock wound down. Johnson drained the trey.Nebraska went right down and answered, with Petteway making a deep three to pull the Cornhuskers to within 56-54.On the resulting inbound play, Penn State turned the ball over and it looked like the Nittany Lions might fritter away another game.But on Nebraska's inbound with 10.4 seconds to go, Penn State forced a loose ball and, with bodies scattered everywhere on the floor, a player for each team cradled the ball. The Nittany Lions were awarded the ball on the alternate possession.Frazier was fouled and made both free throws with 2.7 seconds left.Through it all, Chambers said he never harbored thoughts of here we go again."Not tonight. I just felt like we were really prepared. We were ready to go," he said. "We had a great lineup in. Even when we turned it over, they looked at me. I said, `Attitude. We're going to be fine. Let's get this stop. We know exactly what we want to do. We worked on it for three days.' And we got a turnover. We stayed positive."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

My first visit to both the area and the site. The initial impression was a little disappointing as there is an amount of clutter around the entrance including various farm buildings in various states of delapidation. The toilet facilites need refurbishment but are fit for purpose. That said, the site itself is beautifully quiet, reasonable value and generally well maintained.... More

Our primal connection to art and fire have gone hand-in-hand ever since cavemen created art on the walls of caves by firelight. This sculptural steel fireplace surround by Focus Fireplaces makes me think of seeing a fire through the opening of a cave. It feels simultaneously ancient and modern.
The sculptural elements of this classic fireplace rival anything I saw in the castles of Europe! It makes me want to relax in front of the fire while listening to Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto Number 3 in G Major." That music always makes me feel uplifted in spirit, and I think it fits the fireplace.
This immense fireplace reminds me of the monolithic sculptures of artist Richard Serra.
Shown from another view you can see what interesting angles the fireplace has.
Selecting the right piece of stone and choosing the direction of placement shows off a stunningly beautiful natural work of art. It's an ancient piece of stone, yet it reads like a contemporary abstract painting.
This fireplace is on a more intimate scale than the previous examples, but still wonderfully artistic.
I love the glow of light through the textured glass panels. The chunky mass of the marble mantel is beautifully offset by the thinner and unexpectedly floating marble hearth. What a delight!
This amazing fireplace was custom designed for the client and hand carved from stone. I would listen to Bach again, but this time it would have to be "Tocata and Fugue in D Minor," a much heavier piece.
I don't know what material this fireplace is made from, but it reminds me of the Mexican black clay pottery from Oaxaca. It has such a beautiful, glossy black surface with a slight variation in color. The shape is softly organic, as if it were handmade on a potter's wheel. The organic shape feels so natural that it actually took me awhile to notice that it is set off center in the wall.
This series of giant gray blocks brings the carved stones of lost civilizations to mind — think Egyptian temple blocks. It also fits perfectly with the painting on the wall.
This is such a unique surround with its asymmetrical placement of copper and stone. I like the way the copper picks up colors in the fire.
I think the interesting layering of geometric shapes and the alternating vertical and horizontal wood grain definitely give this surround an artistic flair.
I thought I would wrap up this ideabook with a few more fireplace surrounds created by the same firm whose work is shown in the lead photo. The green patinaed metal surround can be open to expose the fire within ...
... or closed to give just a glimpse. This mysterious slash of an opening would look beautiful even when the fire isn't lit.
Without a fire underneath it, I would expect to see this in a modern art museum.
And this one too!
Art often provokes a response or emotion in the viewer. This one has a wild tilt that makes me feel off balance for a minute.

Keepin' The Cogs Turning
The Bombing Run is back after its week-long vacation to The Wasteland, and now, with a vengeance. With all the holiday games rolling out, the variety in good multiplayer games is growing and that shows with this week's game, Gears of War 2. We'll be playing this game on Saturday November 8, the day after the game releases so people can have a little more time to go purchase or rent their copy. If you want to get in on the action, send an Xbox Live friend request to me, systech217 and the alternate host, TokyoChicken, in case something bad happens to me, like getting polio or if the Brady Bunch is on. We most likely won't leave you behind as long as there is enough room in the party (10 slots to be precise) so I will make this thing a "first come, first serve deal," but don't worry, the Bombing Run hasn't gotten to mega-popularity status... yet.EDIT 2: albedos_shadow is the other host for the Bombing Run. We're going to split it up in half and half so if my party is full, go join him.

Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri
ST. LOUIS -- With a small sample size from which to choose, Chris Rusin can easily pick his best performances. His latest ranks toward the top.
Rusin pitched around seven hits in six innings, Anthony Rizzo had a two-run single and the Chicago Cubs recorded their first shutout in St. Louis in 16 years with a 3-0 victory over the Cardinals on Friday night."It's up there," Rusin said of his 12th start in the majors. "I'd say it's behind the Giants because I went one more inning scoreless. But other than that, those two games are tied. I'm just trying to keep doing what I'm doing."He went seven innings and gave up three hits but didn't get a decision in the Cubs' 1-0 victory at San Francisco on July 27.Rusin (2-1) worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and only set the Cardinals down in order in the first. He struck out a season-high five and issued two intentional walks."He's pitching really, really well," manager Dale Sveum said. "The thing with him is when he throws strikes. The ball can move so much, that he get some swings and misses on some balls that are quite a ways out of the zone. He did a great job again."Kevin Gregg recorded his 24th save to complete the Cubs' first shutout in St. Louis since Jeremi Gonzalez tossed one on June 23, 1997.Lance Lynn (13-6), attempting to become the National League's first 14-game winner, labored over 6 2/3 innings despite giving up just three hits. He threw 115 pitches and was charged with all three runs. He struck out five, walked five and hit two."That was a tough one. I felt good, I was just missing," Lynn said. "It's one of those things, they got me in some deep counts and they worked some walks and they weren't chasing some stuff."Chicago has won two of three, but only has three wins in its past 12.St. Louis has lost four of five and 12 of 16. The Cardinals have been shut out four times during that span and have scored three or fewer runs 10 times, despite getting 13 runs in two victories and 15 runs in a third.Lynn's night ended after he plunked Cole Gillespie to load the bases in the seventh with two outs. Left-hander Randy Choate came in to face the left-handed Rizzo, who singled to center on a two-strike pitch to score Darwin Barney and Junior Lake and make it 3-0.Rizzo has struggled this season overall with a .238 batting average, including just .197 against lefties. He's even lower (.181) with runners in scoring position."It was nice, especially against Randy Choate, who's tough on lefties," Rizzo said. "You just try to see the ball as long as possible off of him and hit it where they're not."The Cubs opened the scoring on Lake's two-out single that scored Welington Castillo, who walked to open the seventh.It could have been more. Starlin Castro was originally called safe by first base umpire Larry Vanover on a bunt that Lynn fielded and applied the tag. After a short argument from Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, the umpire crew gathered and reversed the call for the first out of the inning.Rusin twice intentionally walked Pete Kozma to face Lynn. Lynn struck out in the second with the bases loaded and ended the fourth with a grounder with two men on.Hitting in the seventh spot of the lineup, Jon Jay had three of the Cardinals' seven hits with two doubles."I was able to get ahead of the hitters this time with first-pitch strikes and that's what helped me out," said Rusin, who threw first-pitch strikes to 13 of the 26 batters he faced. "And I didn't get beat by the heart of the lineup. I limited them to a couple of singles and no home runs."Rusin was lifted for pinch-hitter Logan Watkins with runners at first and second with one out in the seventh. Watkins struck out.Both managers tinkered with their lineups to try and boost their struggling teams.The Cubs used David DeJesus in the cleanup position for the first time in his career. DeJesus struck out to end the seventh with runners at first and third and finished 0 for 3, a walk and a hit-by-pitch.The Cardinals moved David Freese to second in the order for the first time this season. He had a single in four at-bats.St. Louis went hitless in four at-bats with runners in scoring position."Very few chances," Matheny said. "A good start by Lance and he gave us a bit of a chance, but we had a few but and couldn't come through."Game notes
St. Louis pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso was ejected soon after arguing about a called third strike. Matheny came out to argue the ejection and was also tossed. ... Cubs C Dioner Navarro, injured in a plate collision with Philadelphia's Chase Hudley on Wednesday, will not go on the disabled list. He was diagnosed with a mild Grade 1 right ankle sprain on Friday and is listed day-to-day. ... P Michael Wacha will start Saturday's game in lieu of Adam Wainwright, who was pushed back to Tuesday against first-place Pittsburgh. ... Chicago P Matt Guerrier, placed on the 60-day disabled list Thursday with right elbow soreness, is expected to have surgery for what GM Theo Epstein called flexor mass, though Epstein ruled out ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction or Tommy John surgery. ... St. Louis OF Shane Robinson played in his first rehab game Friday since he went on the 15-day disabled list July 31 with a right shoulder strain. He was the designated hitter for Double-A affiliate Springfield (Mo.). Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the first night game at Wrigley Field. The Cubs defeated the New York Mets 6-4 on Aug. 9, 1988.

"TVC 15" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie in 1975 and released in 1976.
The track was inspired by an episode in which Iggy Pop, during a drug-fuelled period at Bowie's LA home, hallucinated and believed the television set was swallowing his girlfriend. Bowie developed a story of a holographic television, TVC 15. In the song, the narrator's girlfriend crawls into the television and afterwards, the narrator desires to crawl in himself to find her.
The song is considerably more upbeat than the rest of the album on which it was released, Station to Station. It was chosen as the second single from the album in the UK, where it reached No. 33. With Bowie unable to perform on the show, Top of the Pops promoted the single with a bizarre interpretation from resident dance troupe Ruby Flipper.[1] The B-side, "We Are the Dead", originally formed part of Bowie's attempt to adapt Nineteen Eighty-Four, and had previously been released on the Diamond Dogs album.
In America, "Stay" was preferred as the second single from the album.

The Forge: Christopher Lee Keeps Things Classic (with a Few Twists)
In the past few months, the Forge has gone through some changes, announcing the departure of Dewey LoSasso and the arrival of its new executive chef, Photos by Laine Doss The Forge's owner, Shareef Malnik, and executive chef Christopher Lee host a dinner in the restaurant's private wine room.
Christopher Lee.
Lee, who was hired by the Forge's owner, Shareef Malnik, in January, comes with a long resumé. He received the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef of the Year award in 2005 and was named Food & Wine's Best New Chef in 2006. He has worked at many New York powerhouses, including Daniel, Jean Georges, Oceana, and Michelin-star-rated Gilt and Aureole. Miami diners might remember Lee from Eden, which opened in 2010 and closed in March 2012.
Since then, the talented chef has co-owned Sophia's in Philadelphia, which had a life span of less than a year. In December 2012, Grub Street reported that Lee was planning to open several restaurants in Philadelphia and then concentrate on Washington, D.C. It seems, however, that the Forge's Malnik enticed the chef to take over the kitchen at his iconic Miami Beach restaurant. Since his hiring, Lee has been busy updating dishes while staying true to a classic steak-house concept. He's now launched a new menu, showcasing it at a recent media dinner where New Times were able to try some dishes and catch up with the chef.
Chef Lee took a classic steak-house menu and turned it around with some innovative twists. For instance, bacon was given a spicy Jamaican jerk preparation. Jamaican jerk bacon.

Prep: 19 minutes; Cook: 6 hours and 9 minutes
We updated this popular dish from southern Italy by using a slow cooker so that you don't have to tend to it while it cooks.

1. Place steak between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
2. Place croutons and next 4 ingredients in a food processor or blender; process until mixture forms a paste. Spread mixture evenly over steak to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll up steak, beginning with a narrow end, and tie with kitchen twine. Sprinkle evenly with pepper.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak roll, and cook 8 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally.
4. Pour sauce into a 3-quart electric slow cooker; top with steak roll. Cover and cook on HIGH 1 hour. Reduce heat to LOW; cook 5 hours or until steak is tender. Cut braciola into 10 slices. Serve with marinara sauce.
