I'm mortified. I'd be in the floor right now, but then wouldn't be able to reach the computer. I've found something worse than a hair in the biscuits and gravy!
For many years, I longed for thick, wavy hair. (Mine has always been straight and thin.) Finally, I DID get some thick, wavy hair … and they are gray, wouldn't you know. And they just keep multiplying! I lose bunches of gray hairs every day. In fact, if I kept even a small portion of them, I could make a fine hairpiece for my husband. (I love him without hair, though.)
I had a couple of loose gray hairs on my scrub top the other day and brushed them off. A co-worker said, "Wait, there's another one," and she reached to get it. That's where I wish I could say, "The End." But no … the hair was attached to my chin! Talk about embarrassing! She was the youngest one in the office! Of all people!
We looked awkwardly at each other for a moment — she still held my chin hair in her hand. I leaned closer and whispered sternly, "You grab it and yank it with all your might!" She squinted her eyes and jerked as hard as she could! It hurt.
Thank goodness she got it with her first pull! I hugged her and gushed, "You're a true friend!" It's not everybody you can ask to pull out a chin hair! We went off to our work and our patients to finish the day. I laughed and chatted with the kids I worked with, but in the back of my mind I was still horrified. "Why couldn't I have a ginormous chin hair at home — for the love?!"
At the end of the day, I confided in one of the other girls about what had happened. It was hard to even speak it. She'd already heard. Had I not been in such shock when it all went down, I might have mentioned, "Let's keep this on the down-low."
I've heard several jokes about my chin hair. How can they NOT laugh? It is what it is.
I haven't mentioned it to my co-workers, but I can't help thinking of what the little pig said when the wolf threated to blow the house in … "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin …" I know EXACTLY what he's talking about! But does that "chinny-chin-chin" part mean more than one chin? I have that problem, too. Oh, poo!

Right-Wing MKs Betray the Israeli Army
Powerful Likud politician tipped off extremists who attacked soldiers
Yesterday, five right-wing Jewish extremists were indicted by Jerusalem's district prosecutor for spying on the Israel Defense Forces in an effort to disrupt the army's evacuation of illegal outposts in the West Bank, an organized campaign of violence that included bashing a senior IDF officer in the face with a brick as well as large-scale vandalism against army bases and vehicles. The indictment might not have been breaking news if it weren't for the settlers' sources: the chairman of the coalition, Likud MK Ze'ev Elkin, as well as several other right-wing parliamentarians were the settlers' informants.
The very same Elkin was behind a recent bill to investigate left-wing non-profits who receive funding from international sources. His argument revolved around the assertion that in making the IDF's actions public, leftist activists were jeopardizing IDF soldiers and state security. None of the non-profits, however, reported on future or current operations; Elkin did, and in so doing put Israeli soldiers in direct physical harm.
One of Elkin's fellow informants, National Union MK Uri Ariel, made no apologies once his role in supporting the extremists became public. "If a person who transfers information about IDF movements is a spy," he said, "then I am a spy."
Ariel has it exactly right. He is a spy, and should be treated as one, along with Elkin and anyone else who knowingly supplied classified information pertaining to military movements to armed and radical terrorists who then used it to confront and attack Israeli soldiers. They should be arrested, tried, and jailed.
Of course, that will never happen. With a strong grasp on the parliament, Elkin, Ariel, and their colleagues are free to continue their crusade against democracy. Some other recent examples: In a debate earlier this morning—convened by right-wing legislators in order to discipline an Arab-Israeli school principal who dared to take his students to a Tel Aviv march for human rights—Yisrael Beitinu MK Anastasia Michaeli interrupted Labor MK Ghaleb Majadale, himself an Israeli Arab, as the latter was defending the principal's actions. Majadale told Michaeli to shut up, at which point she calmly left the room, obtained a glass of water, returned to the room, and threw the water in Majadale's face. Alex Miller, the panel's chairman and a member of Yisrael Beitinu, refused to discipline Michaeli.
It is time to stop mincing words. Anyone who cares at all about its future should insist that Elkin and his ilk are tossed out of the parliament and put in prison where they rightly belong.

Support Troops and Enter to Win 2012 Jeep Wrangler with New Foundation
I Support Foundation has been created by two Florida teenagers to support the troops by selling I Support wristbands and magnets. They give away 98% of the proceeds to help the returning US troops and will award a Jeep Wrangler to one lucky customer in the process.
(PRWEB) August 29, 2012
I Support Foundation, a new organization created by two Florida teens, has been created to raise funds to support troops by selling I Support wristbands and magnets. One lucky customer will be awarded a 2012 Jeep Wrangler on live TV in New York City on October 12, 2012. Over the next 60 days, anyone around the country can visit the ISF site for a chance to win. The first 12,000 visitors to purchase an ISF wristband will have a chance to win the Jeep.
After this first Jeep is awarded, a new tally will begin. When a customer purchases an I Support wristband, they are entered into that drawing only, and multiple entries are allowed. To be entered in multiple drawings, simply purchase another product during each drawing period to be included. The website features a ticker which displays the number of products sold. For every 12,500 products sold, another prize will be awarded.
In addition to providing funds to returning US troops, purchasing I Support wristbands lets customers support troops publically while increasing awareness and conversation. Many soldiers, injured or not, come home and face overwhelming financial burdens.
About I Support Foundation:
The mission of I Support Foundation is to increase awareness and support for US veterans who fight and / or sacrifice personal well-being to defend the freedoms that US citizens enjoy every day. The foundation dedicates 98% of all proceeds to worthy, viable, and dedicated charities, which provide life-impacting support services for the men and women of the military. ISF is also going to create 4000-6000 jobs for returning military personnel through a corporate relationship already in place. For more information, and a list of organizations that foundation works with, please visit http://www.isupportfoundation.org/mission.

As some you have noticed and wondered about (or some of you may have noticed and not wondered about or some may not have even noticed at all and therefore not wondered about), there is a new section to the forum called "Community Groups." But, as of right now, no one is able to post to them! So what are they?
While the club is all about bringing together people with an interest in the multisport lifestyle, we realize that there are segments of our membership that may want to get together and connect on a different level. This year, the club is looking to expand our Community and Outreach to a whole new level.
We are hoping to encourage what we are calling "Community Groups" to form based around regional areas, training speeds, or special interests. As you can see from the Community Groups page as well as the new forum sections, we have started generating some ideas about what kinds of Community Groups we could have. Most of these are just ideas right now: some might get off the ground while others might go away.
We are hoping to gather some dedicated club members to help us get these groups off the ground. The idea is to have the community group leader take the reins of their group and generate training workouts, social events, or whatever else seems of interest to the group.
The way we are imagining this will work is that any club member will have the ability to "Opt In" to a Community Group. Once a member has opted in, then they will be put in an email list such that the Community group leader can send out newsletters or announcements directly to those people who are interested in that group. Eventually, we hope for the group to be able to formulate their own group webpage with content of interest (right now that will be done in conjunction with the Community & Outreach board member: Elizabeth). The forums for each community group will be open to the entire club to read and post but we hope to have them set such that only if you have opted into the group will the posts appear in the right hand forum rail.
That's the idea we have right now. This will evolve and adapt over time as we figure out how best to implement this, but that's where we are now.
So if you have any questions or concerns about this or if you have an idea for a Community Group and want to volunteer to help formulate the group and get it off the ground, then please email email@example.com with your ideas. We would definitely love to hear your thoughts. Please know that we are just putting this idea together and everything might not get up and running immediately. It might take us some time.

Horror Videos
Horror videos and movies have grown to become the longest-lasting movie genre in history. Horror videos are intended to elicit a feeling of dread, fear, or dismay. Expect the unexpected and count on an intense atmosphere that grows at a face pace. Horror videos often lull you into a sense of tranquility then suddenly create a menacing effect that jolts you out of your comfort zone. They can leave you with a vague ending, so you have the sense that the menace still remains, which is the perfect set up for a sequel. The two main subjects of horror videos are supernatural beings (vampires, phantoms, demons, etc.) or real situations and figures (serial killers, medical tragedies, etc.).
Scary Videos and Why We Love Them
The appeal of scary videos has grown over the years and with the new crop of films, such as Saw, The Strangers, Session 9, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the definition of horror has also evolved. These movies display more explicit gore, jump scenes, scares, and supernatural content than ever before.
But why do we love these scary videos? These movies allow us to confront our most primal fears, all in the comfort of our own home. Scary videos are terrifying, exciting, fascinating, and thrilling. The musical score adds tension, builds suspense, then releases it for a roller coaster ride our nerves love. Scary videos appeal to the basic human condition and to our attempts to overcome our fear. No matter why you love scary videos, one fact remains - we can't wait to watch the next one.

This was the same time he showed his first entrepreneurial spark, taking on paper rounds for the Wigan Reporter, Leader and Observer papers covering his entire village, before sub-contracting school friends to work for him.
Later, Rick's customer centric approach and business understanding was formed when working for major companies Whitbread, Georgia Pacific and Royal Mail.
After breaking into media by launching and editing JJ's magazine for Wigan Athletic Rick faced a career crossroads when he was offered an agency PR role and a position as a football correspondent with the Wigan Evening Post. He chose PR and has never looked back.

Kerry's Story
Kerry Aldcroft
Office Manager
Like any creative, ingenious machine, Smoking Gun PR only performs properly when all the wheels are well oiled, and the cogs turning properly. Thanks to Kerry our systems are constantly in tip top condition, with her keen organisational and administrative skills keeping the ship tight and delivering outstanding client service.
Joining us after a 12 year spell at legal giant Pannone LLP, most recently as Member Liaison Manager offering support to a network of external firms and solicitors, whilst there are plenty of differences between the worlds of public relations and law the two industries do share one thing in common. Namely the need for second-to-none co-ordination and management. The perfect professional to ensure we're always in full working order, when she's not keeping us on the straight and narrow Kerry can be found cooking for loved ones at home or pulling pints in her family's pub – two pastimes everyone here certainly approves of.
Kerry's favourite book is the light hearted The Time Travellers Wife. A love story but with a twist that pulls you in. As with so many successful novels, it was taken to the big screen but as is often the case it's never as good at the original.Prev | Next
Jane's Story
Jane Alcock
Associate Director
A fresh face on Manchester's PR scene, with a refreshingly fearless approach to match, Jane's experience speaks volumes. She brings over a decade of experience working alongside some of London's brightest creative agencies, and dealing with brands ranging from Kenwood to Mumm Champagne, she leaves an impressive trail of campaigns in her wake.
Jane's interest in the media developed while studying the subject with Psychology at university. A month after her move to the capital she played a part in organising Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit party and a brand building role for FMCG soon followed. As did a journalist in a pumpkin, a pub for dogs and a Bond girl dressed in carrier bags.
More recently Jane has adopted an epicurean attitude towards her career with work for Phipps PR. Her job – promoting Green & Black's, Kettle Chips and Tio Pepe – was almost as enviable as the following career break spent in the Alps and Cornwall.
Jane is currently trying to read the Game of Thrones books and struggling to work out whether to read book three or watch series four.Prev | Next
Hayley's Story
Hayley Peters
Senior Account Director
In every successful agency you need a mix of experience and fresh ideas. With more than eleven years behind her in Manchester's communications industry then, during which time she has honed impressive skills and developing forward thinking concepts, Hayley represents both those requirements, personified.
Beginning her career at the age of just 17, just over a decade later and Hayley has racked up the kind of resume that would make many more mature professionals green with envy. A specialist in travel, hospitality, mother and baby, food, and retail public relations, her CV name-checks some of the biggest brands in those businesses, from Aldi and Warburtons to Holiday Inn, All Saints and Eurocamp. That's before we come to mention the British Army.
With a keen understanding of what constitutes successful strategic planning, and a love for the same insight-driven approach that lies at the heart of the Smoking Gun PR, her love of data, reports and intelligence-focused campaign work means it took no time at all for Hayley to become a core member of the family here on Bridge Street. Forsaking fluff for hard work based on real insights and knowledge garnered from a big agency background, to say we value her input would be the understatement of the century.
Hayley's favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, which transfixed her as a teenager because of its moral hero and the moving nature of the story told through the eyes of a little girl, making it the first book she ever felt emotional about.Prev | Next
Louise's Story
Louise Woodward
Account Director
A decade or so after graduating from Sheffield Hallam, Louise remains a Steel City girl, daily crossing the Yorkshire/Lancashire border all in the name of PR.
It didn't take long for Louise to find her feet in the public relations game. Diving in at the deep end of public sector work, her role with an NHS Trust quickly gave way to consumer work for agencies in Sheffield and Leeds, during which time she has produced outstanding results for a plethora of high profile clients. Not least Stoves, Belling, Hallmark Cards and Jet2.com, with one campaign even gaining the backing of Ed Miliband and another a CIPR Excellence Award for social media.
Clearly innovative and forward thinking, appearances at universities across the region are indicative of her appreciation for the need to ensure tomorrow's bright young things can match these high standards.
Louise's favourite book is The Twits by Roald Dahl. A tale she read and re-read as a young girl, this timeless tale is exemplary of why its creator is one of the greatest scribes of all time, regardless of your age.Prev | Next
Stacey's Story
Stacey Waugh
Senior Account Manager
Along with her passion for creativity, travel and culture, Stacey brings to the team extensive knowledge gleaned from a multitude of past PR success stories. As such the word 'experienced' would be an understatement.
Over the last six years since graduating in Public Relations, Stacey has clocked up plenty of miles. Time spent working in London and Leeds for stand out clients such as Remy Martin, Piper Heidsieck, Chateaux de Sours and Carte Blanche Greetings Group speaks volumes, not that her talent for marketing and conversation-starting doesn't go well beyond food, drink and gifts. As previous achievements in sectors ranging from construction to weddings goes to show.
Add to that lessons learned about the wider world whilst passing through South America, Asia and the Pacific, not to mention her current extra-curricular studies in Spanish, and Stacey clearly fits the Smoking Gun bill. That constant hunger for information, the desire for new discoveries and an adventurous, innovative and ingenious mindset all being instant giveaways.
Stacey loves reading books based in far away countries, set in different times or cultures, to accomplish pure escapism. Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts is the ultimate example of this but she also carries her love for childhood favourites Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Matilda, because of the wonderful characters who show that being nice pays off!Prev | Next
Richard's Story
Richard Wilson
Account Manager
A self-confessed grammar obsessive, indicative of a keen eye for minute details, Richard was preaching from the Smoking Gun PR Book of Measurement and Evaluation long before he joined us. A marketing mastermind made to measure for our team, you might say.
Since graduating from Lancaster University, Richard has forged a stellar career in public relations that now spans no less than three agencies and a multitude of industries. More so, he still found the time to explore every country in South East Asia during the process, which is no mean feat in itself.
Extensively experienced when it comes to B2B projects, Richard has always maintained a creative approach to providing client solutions and has garnered an enviable reputation in the industry as a result. A genuinely passionate professional, his desire to deliver high profile, innovative campaigns with genuine value for money is unwavering. So, along with constant drive and a hard working disposition, it should be abundantly clear why we were quick to offer him a place on our team.
Richard's favourite book is Annapurna, by French climber Maurice Herzog. Herzog's account of the 1950 French expedition that first climbed a peak over 8000m is a mountaineering epic, filled with determination, exploration, vivid descriptions of Himalayan landscapes and an excruciating march back to civilisation. The book's final line, "there are other Annapurnas in the lives of men", is suitably stirring and one that has proved impossible to forget.Prev | Next
Kineta's Story
Kineta Kelsall
Digital Manager
At Smoking Gun PR we believe in creating a team of experts capable of delivering first class comprehensive services. Hence the reason Kineta's varied background makes her the perfect addition to our highly skilled team of ingenious public relations professionals
A graduate in Journalism from Sheffield University, experience working for the city's acclaimed radio station, Hallam FM, as event organiser, and her own endeavours running club nights within South Yorkshire's finest music scene all prove Kineta is capable of turning her hand to a variety of challenges. More Master of Many, as oppose to Jack of All, this experience promoting gave rise to a love of all social media.
An avid tweeter and Instagram obsessive, after looking across the Peak District to Manchester's burgeoning media industries she found herself in a role as Social Media Consultant for Meltwater Group, advising everyone from councils to the police, agencies to consumer brands on their digital listening strategies, helping to shape the future of their organisations. From there, time spent as Content and Evaluation Analyst for The Co-Operative provided further proof of her wholesale understanding of our industry, clearly showing she has the passion and knowledge needed to build strong, worthwhile communities for socially-minded brands. Like we said then, the perfect addition to our agency.
Kineta's favourite book is Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, which taught her that communication isn't all about words.Prev | Next
Ben's Story
Ben Ormsby
Account Manager
Ben's work in public relations is defined by variety. From commercial agencies to Liverpool University's press office, the passion with which he approaches creative communication has never faltered.
Moving on from a BA in History Ben soon found himself in a work experience role at an integrated ad agency, and on a career path set to combine his love of writing, creativity and keen inter-personal skills. After working as an assistant on the Manchester Science Festival, a role that saw him perform 'science busks' on the street, this drive towards PR was firmly set on the road to Smoking Gun.
Ben's book of choice is Casino Royale, but not simply because of the guns, girls and exotic locales. Ian Fleming's mixologist approach to blending exciting stories with product placement is worthy of the drinks in the plot, and cocktail recipe at the end.Prev | Next
Beth's Story
Beth Nicholson
Senior Account Executive
A highly trained academic, avid traveller, passionate creative and dedicated professional, Beth brings to the team both deft industry skills and a perspective gleaned by time spent living and working overseas. Precisely the kind of open-minded asset any award-winning public relations agency looks for.
After graduating from Newcastle University with a degree in German and Spanish, Beth travelled across South America, experiencing a variety of cultures and places along the way, before settling in to Madrid life- a move that further fed her love of all things Spanish. Becoming fluent in the language in the process, this is just one example of how keen a communicator she is.
Eventually returning to Britain, settling down in London and entering the exciting world of PR, media savvy Beth's CV to date already includes work for three agencies. Specialising in charity and consumer PR, clients from John Lewis and Avon to Yeo Valley and Save the Children have all been successfully serviced, with campaigns under her belt including the Oxford Street Christmas Lights Switch On and Avon's Walk of Hope, supported by celebrity ambassador Alesha Dixon. Exactly the type of team member we love at Smoking Gun PR, once a decision was made to come back up north we were only too quick to snap her up.
Beth's favourite book is To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, because the tale was responsible for encouraging many to believe in human and civil rights, making it one of the most important and influential stories ever written.Prev | Next
Kirstin's Story
Kirstin Mack
Senior Account Executive
Ever the drama queen, Kirstin followed her love of the arts by studying TV, Theatre and Film at St John's University in York and entered the glamorous world of television immediately after graduation, securing a role as runner for the successful BBC drama, Waterloo Road.
Kirstin gained her grounding in marketing and PR in-house, working for property developer Stewart Milne Holmes. From there she joined the team at Regatta Outdoor Clothing, where she was involved in campaigns for the Hawkshead, Craghoppers and Bear Grylls brands, managing public relations for all three.
Deciding to take the step across to an agency, Kirstin found a new position with a full mix marketing firm in the Cheshire countryside. Specialising in PR, she was soon looking after clients such as Kitbag, James Grace Staircase Renovations and Home Instead Senior Care.
Particularly passionate about the retail sector, Kirstin's experience in events, product placement and everything in between is indicative of her talents as a truly deft all-rounder. Precisely the kind of asset we look for here at Smoking Gun.
Kirstin's favourite story is Alice Sebold's emotive tale, The Lovely Bones, as she believes there's no other book told from such a unique perspective.

Georgia's Story
Georgia Robson
Account Executive
It's always a good sign when an employee shows stand out initiative well before joining the team. So, when Georgia dropped us a Valentine's card explaining she was crazy about the company we were impressed, and now it's safe to say we're crazy about her.
A Public Relations and Communications student from Leeds Metropolitan University who's our first full-year intern, there's no denying that Georgia has the passion, innovation and enthusiasm to succeed in one of the most challenging yet rewarding industries imaginable. Quickly finding her feet and exhibiting a skill-set well beyond her years, this fresh zeal for anything writing and digital related has been more than welcomed by everyone here on Bridge Street, and points to an extremely bright future for this fast-rising professional.
Georgia's favourite book is Schott's Original Miscellany by Ben Schott simply because the fascinating collection of trivia therein offers plenty to inspire thought and spark creative thinking. Key attributes for any member of the Smoking Gun family.

Tally's Story
Tally Thompson
Account Executive
Tally joined the Smoking Gun PR team after finding a very unique and innovative way of getting our attention; in the form of a very special delivery!
Whilst studying Visual Communications and Graphics at Loughborough University she quickly found her natural calling into PR and so specialised in brand identity, promotional stunts and concept design. Travelling down the path of creativity from a young age through a love of art and design, Tally has a strong passion for producing engaging and exciting work which is relatable, influential and encourages people to stop and think.
Alongside studying for her degree, Tally gained priceless experience within consumer and health PR working with a range of global and boutique agencies in London working with brands such as Disaronno, Sailor Jerry, St Tropez and Change4life. After graduating she travelled to the far corners of the world to explore and experience different cultures, retuning back to take on a social media and copywriting role, further increasing and building her skill set and abilities to bring to Smoking Gun.
Tally's favourite book is Gone Girl, a sharp, manipulative thriller about a couples public and private perception of themselves to each other whilst in certain social and private situations through their thoughts, emotions and life changing actions. I am very interested in the studies of human behaviour and so loved the intelligently dark characters, the strong influence and power the media and how you should not underestimate an innocent looking lady!Prev | Next
Martin's Story
Martin Hewitt
An NCTJ, PTC and MA qualified writer with a strong national network of contacts, Martin brings to the team perfectly punctuated web and print copy, leading to efficient press penetration and increased brand recognition.
Prior to his accreditations Martin worked with Marks & Spencer handling supplier accounts. This early corporate experience honed his skill for dealing with clients on a one-to-one basis in environments where strong relationships are key to impressive results.
As well as writing for a host of national and international media titles, Martin has edited various websites and specialises in writing SEO rich copy- from press releases to web content.
Besides perfect prose, Martin has a passion for music and film and can regularly be found backstage at Britain's biggest industry festivals.
Martin's most captivating story is The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4. As precious to him today as when he was 14, it features all the things you think about at high school, but are too scared to tell anyone. Hilariously tragic and honest.

What the Government Pays To Snoop On You 174

transporter_ii writes "So what does it cost the government to snoop on us? Paid for by U.S. tax dollars, and with little scrutiny, surveillance fees charged by phone companies can vary wildly. For example, AT&T, imposes a $325 'activation fee' for each wiretap and $10 a day to maintain it. Smaller carriers Cricket and U.S. Cellular charge only about $250 per wiretap. But snoop on a Verizon customer? That costs the government $775 for the first month and $500 each month after that, according to industry disclosures made last year to Congressman Edward Markey."

|'The Waters' is a piece inspired by nature and the ways water manifests itself in nature. Water can exist in such varied ways, from a flowing river to destructive hail to delicate morning dew. These multiple existences create multiple personalities that are vastly different but inherently linked by the foundation of their existence: water. Water is an ever-changing compound that, when used as musical inspiration, lends itself to a wide range of emotions and sources of beauty. The manifestations of water were carefully chosen to provide contrast. The piece opens with a quick, whimsical flight through the clouds. Leaping intervals and short, punctuated notes embody a lighthearted adventure. The second movement begins slowly, quietly exploring a serene glacier. As the powerful beauty of the glacier becomes more apparent, the music swells in recognition and then dies away. A rainstorm is the focus of the third movement. It begins with the quiet before the storm, the sound of the wind present. As the storm grows, more and more instruments join to surge through the rain. The fourth movement is sparse and empty to represent the mysterious presence of fog. Small gestures are traded between instruments, winding a wispy path through the air. The final movement is meant to capture the majesty of the ocean. Chorale sections played by the brass create a sense of grand vastness while the bright sounds of the woodwinds and percussion reflect on the joy of the water.

Speaking of teens: Lately, I've gotten several e-mails supposedly from underage people desperate to know which clubs they can go to without getting carded. Why do I suspect these requests are actually from undercover cops trying to suss out some more gay places to raid? Whatever the case, I tell them the truth: Nowhere!
To hang with the other team for a change, I finally went to Beatrice Inn and desperately wished I was a hetero instead of having chosen to be gay. The downstairs den and especially the upstairs dance area are filled with young (but legal), hot-looking girls who seem beamed out of 1960s London. One of them, Kirsten Dunst, was all friendly on line for the bathroom until she realized who I was. And yes, she was just using the bathroom to pee.
Over at club legend Arthur Weinstein's memorial, writer Anthony Haden Guest got so smashed that he became rather unconscious for some time. (Well, it was the rare memorial with an open bar.)
But cheers to Madonna. I hear that for her upcoming stay at Caesars Palace in Atlantic City, Madge's contract specifies that a new toilet seat must be installed before her arrival, and she needs proof that it was freshly taken out of the box and the seal broken. Of course, no such precautions need to be taken with married men's penises.
But back, once again, to the g-darn Republican ticket to hell: Tired rumors crazily resurfaced last week about my friend Amy Lumet and her ex-boss John McCain. Amy tells me that when the tale re-hit, publicist Bobby Zarem called her to wonder why he's never part of these rumors. What the goshdarned heck, let's add him!
Meanwhile, did anyone think the two pivotal figures in this history-making campaign would be Katie Couric and Tina Fey? I guess life inspires pop art, too.

Gathering experiment data
STEP 6. Conduct the experiment
Before you begin, you will need to get approval from the university's Institutional Review Board and obtain an informed consent from each participant, which explains the purpose, and potential risks or benefits of the study. Make sure to outline what you will ask participants to do and what information you will gather.
Then, emphasize to subjects that participation is voluntary, discuss confidentiality and anonymity, and explain the purpose of the experiment with or without IRB approved deception. For example, avoid providing specific information about the purpose if it might communicate your expectations and bias the results. Furthermore, avoid creating different expectations among groups you are comparing.
Be aware that participants may adopt an attitude that interferes with obtaining valid results. For example, they may be overly cooperative to please you, defensive if they're worried about what they will be asked to do, or negative if they perceive that they're compelled to participate.
Recognize that you will have missing data if some participants are absent or careless when completing a questionnaire or other measure. Immediately checking and asking participants to complete items can reduce missing data.
Measure the outcome variable before an intervention to determine whether there is a significant difference between groups prior to treatment. If pre-intervention differences exist, it is still possible to account for these differences statistically.
If you are implementing an intervention, such as introducing a new instructional technology, consistently follow the procedures outlined during the design phase, performing regular checks to maintain its integrity.

Recovering from surgery
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you all. But after my surgery on the 26th of Sept. on my left hand. I had some trouble with my hand so I can only type one handed still. I had Carpal Tunnel & Cubital Tunnel Surgery on my left hand and elbow. And I still have the stitches in. They don't come out until the 9th of Oct. when I see my surgeon again. The recovery is coming slower than I would like it to be. I still have trouble getting dressed & I can't even comb or wash my own damm hair by myself yet and that is very aggravating for me. At least I know what to expect to happen when I have the right hand and elbw done. except for the fact that I'm right handed. when that happens I'm really going be lost. Becuase I can't do anything left handed. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks. Colleen L.

Fat-Stigma Study: Mass Media Messages Appear To Trump Opinions Of Family, Close Friends
Women harbor a fat-stigma even though their family and closest friends may not judge them as "fat," according to findings by Arizona State University social scientists. Those research results, published Aug. 17 in the journal Social Science & Medicine, have scientists questioning the weight of messages from sources outside one's social networks, especially those in mass media marketing.
"We found that women generally missed the mark when estimating what their friends and family thought about their weight," said Daniel J. Hruschka, an ASU cultural anthropologist and co-author of the study. "Women were a bit more attuned to the views of close friends and family, but even then, they generally perceived the judgments of others inaccurately."
For this study, the ASU researchers interviewed 112 women aged 18-45 living in Phoenix, Arizona, and 823 others in their family and social networks. The focus was to understand how and why fat-stigma is distributed in the context of everyday interactions and relationships, and test some key ideas about how perceptions of stigma are amplified or mitigated by women's relationships in the framework of their social networks.
Lead author of the study, Alexandra Brewis, a biological anthropologist and director of ASU's Center for Global Health, noted that while obesity is a major medical and public health challenge, the stigma attached to it also creates suffering and needs to be examined. According to the ASU findings, urging family and friends to be less judgmental may be of little assistance in alleviating the stigma.
"Fat is understood culturally to represent profound personal failing and the attendant moral messages attached to it include laziness, lack of self-control, and being undesirable or even repulsive," the authors wrote. "So powerful and salient are these anti-fact messages that some Americans say they would rather die years sooner or be completely blind than be thought of as obese."
"The question this leaves us with is: 'If it isn't the opinions of friends and family that make us feel so bad about being overweight, then what does?' What seems most likely is that media and pop cultural messages are so pervasive and powerful that even the most loving support of those closest to us provides only limited protection against them," said Brewis, who also is a professor and executive director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

President Bush attends a pair of Florida fundraisers today. He'll also make remarks on Medicare in between. He's right around, or over, $100 million and closing in (or over, depending on how one counts checks) his 2000 number for the all-time record.
Governor Dean, Senator Kerry, and General Clark all campaign in New Hampshire.
Congressman Kucinich campaigns in Iowa today.
Reverend Sharpton campaigns in New York City.
Congressman Gephardt, Senator Edwards, Senator Lieberman, and Ambassador Moseley Braun all have no public events announced for today.
ABC News Vote 2004: Bush-Cheney re-elect:
New York Times ' Maureen Dowd looks at the "Bizarro world" of Vice President Cheney and how just the sound of his voice "has the same effect on some male Republicans, starting at the very top, and even some journalists, that a high-pitched whistle has on a dog." LINK
Tonight, Nightline's Ted Koppel looks at the power and influence of Vice President Cheney in a half-hour broadcast on the man that U.S. News & World Report recently dubbed "The Man Behind the Curtain."
Koppel talked with columnist Robert Novak, former NSC officials Richard Clarke and Ivo Daalder, historian Douglas Brinkley, former CIA official Vince Cannistraro and the Heritage Foundation's John Hulsman to get a full picture on who Cheney is, how he ended up on the ticket in 2000 and the role he played on 9/11 and in the war in Iraq.
A sneak peak at what you'll hear tonight (and we promise you will not be disappointed):
Robert Novak: "I would say he is the second-most influential and powerful figure in the administration."
John Hulsman: "He's the guy who is the CEO of George Bush's corporation."
Douglas Brinkley: "He is the ultimate adviser you want, because he has no agenda for his future."
More Hulsman: "I think that Dick Cheney is probably the biggest story that isn't talked about out in the wider country as a whole. I think his power is unparalleled in the history of the republic, frankly, for that position."
Nightline airs at 11:35 pm ET — check your local listings.
AP's Theimer reports that the Bush-Cheney campaign will be right around the $100 million mark after two fundraising events today in Florida that are expected to bring in about $1.5 million. LINK

WSOPC: Adam Teasdale Wins Harrah's Atlantic City Main Event
The third and final day of the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Atlantic City Main Event began with 26 players returning to the felt. After a long day of action Adam Teasdale emerged as the winner of the gold ring, $190,040 and seat to the WSOP National Championship in May.
Terry Grimes led the final table with 2,090,000 followed by Aaron Overton (2,065,000), Pete Rios (1,885,000), Sung Kim (1,860,000), Teasdale (1,850,000), Wade Woelfel (915,000), Ed Molin (640,000), Barry Leventhal (565,000) and Trevor Deeter (460,000).
Finishing short of the final table but still managed to cash in the event were Feming Chan 11th, Brandon Fish 14th, Will Failla 31st, Jamie Kerstetter 34th, David Diaz 46th and Chris Reslock 58th.
Chan was one of the more experienced players returning with almost $1 million in career earnings but Fish may have been the hottest player remaining a the start of Day 3. He recently won Event 2 a little over a week ago for better than $50,000 and with his 14hth place finish Fish won Casino Champ for the Harrah's stop. He was eliminated when Terry Grimes opened in early position, Fish re-raised in late position and Grimes called. The flop came 3 Q T, Grimes moved all in and Fish called after flopping two pair with T 3. Grimes tabled Q J and watched the board run 9 Q giving him trip queens and eliminating Fish just short of the final table.
The field was trimmed to the final table after about five levels of play and Deeter was eliminated after just a couple hands. He moved all in from the button and Kim called from the big blind. Deeter had suited-connectors with 6 5 and Kim had pocket tens. The board ran 7 A 9 J T and Deeter was out in ninth place.
The next elimination came ten minutes later when Kim opened for 60,000, Modin shoved from the button and Grimes re-raised all in from the small blind. Kim folded and Grimes turned pocket jacks and Grimes showed aces. The board ran Q A 9 4 K and Modin was out in eighth place.
Before the end of the level Leventhal would be the third player eliminated in an hour. Leventhal opened to 85,000 and Grimes called from the big blind. The flop came 4 3 7, Grimes checked, Leventhal bet and Grimes called. The turn came 4, Grimes checked and Leventhal shoved all in. Grimes called with 8 4 for trips and was ahead of Levanthal's A 7. The river was Q and Leventhal was eliminated.
Overton was next out when he raised from the small blind, Teasdale three-bet and Overton shoved. Teasdale called with AQ and Overton was staking his tournament life on T 4. The board ran 9 2 3 T A and the ace on the river ended Overton's deep run.
Grimes had a frustrating day of lost pots and penalty. One of his cards was accidently exposed during a deal and he exposed his hand, earning a one orbit penalty and never recovered from going on tilt after the fact. Grimes opened and Teasdale called to see a T J J flop. Teasdale bet 140,000, Grimes shoved and Teasdale called with A J. Grimes' pocket eights needed help but came up short when the board finished 3 7.
Teasdale had just begun to heat up and pulled further into the lead when Kim and Teasdale got in a preflop raising war with all the chips in the middle. Kim held A 8 and Teasdale A Q. The board ran K 7 6 Q 9 and Kim wad eliminated in fourth place.
Teasdale carried two-thirds of the chips in play to three-handed play but then Woelfel doubled up through Rios with pocket nines against A K. Then Rios was eliminated in a crazy hand. Rios opened on the button for one million, Teasdale moved his table-leading stack all in and then Woelfel called off the rest of his stack.
Teasdale: 7 7
Rios: J J
Woelfel: A K
The board ran A 3 3 3 6 and Woelful eliminated Rios and doubled through Teasdale to take the chip lead.
Woelfel took 6,505,000 into heads up play against Teasdale's 5,810,000 but that lasted one hand. Teasdale opened for 130,000 and Woelfel called for the 3 6 T flop. Woelfel checked, Teasdale bet 150,000, Woelfel re-raised to 380,000 and Teasedale made it 650,000 to go. Woelfel then made it 1,380,000 and Teasdale didn't blink, re-raising to 2,200,000. After a lengthy decision Woelfel elected to fold.
Teasdale and Woelfel played for around two full levels before Teasdale won the deciding hand with an amazing call. He was facing 6 Q Q 4 board and facing a re-raise all in from Woelfel. Teasdale went deep in to the tank before eventually calling. Woelfel tabled A 5 for a bluff and Teasdale turned over 9 4 for bottom pair. The river came Q and Teasdale claimed the victory.

It makes sense for rest-homes to use commercial transport
like taxis when appropriate for residents, St John operations
director Michael Brooke says.
Mr Brooke was responding to last week's article, in which
Birchleigh Residential Care Centre chief executive Malcolm
Hendry said the rest-home would opt for more private taxi
transport because of a 38% increase in St John charges for
non-emergency trips.
''If it is simply transport that a resident requires, then it
makes sense for the rest-home to co-ordinate with commercial
transport services like taxis.
''And if the resident needs clinical care, they need to call
an ambulance."
St John also offered non-emergency travel services.

On Labor Day, 1998, Dr. A. Jay Burns, a plastic surgeon affiliated with the Children's Medical Center of Dallas, got a call from a colleague at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "We've got a severe facial-trauma case to send you," Burns recalls his friend saying, "a dog mauling like you've never seen before. We've done what we can to stabilize the patient, a two-year-old boy who was bitten by the family dog."
Burns remembers telling his friend that it couldn't be that big a deal. At 42, he had seen a lot of horrific facial injuries in his time and performed many difficult facial reconstructions. And he knew that what might seem like an extraordinary case of trauma to a smaller hospital like St. Francis was likely a routine case at Children's, which has the busiest pediatric emergency room in the nation. "It was a dog bite," he remembers thinking. "How bad could it be?"
But when he first saw little Mycha Herbert in Children's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit three days after the incident, Burns says, "I was completely overwhelmed. I'd never seen anything like it before, and I knew I'd never see anything like it again."
From just below his eyes to just under his chin, the toddler's face had been filleted from the bone by the dog's powerful jaws. The tissues of his cheeks, nose, lips, mouth, and chin were simply gone, leaving only the glistening white bone of his skull and two very stunned eyes where once there had been an impish face. Though Mycha's tongue and teeth were intact, the damage was so total that the doctors at St. Francis had had to insert a tube through his throat so that he could breathe and a feeding tube directly into his stomach so that he could receive nourishment. Mycha's parents — Bobby, 24, and Veronika, 19 — weren't certain what had happened, but it appeared that their son had startled the family dog, a six-month-old Staffordshire terrier named Blue, and the dog had snapped at Mycha, locking his jaws on the lower two thirds of the boy's face with a single bite. Mycha must have then stumbled, causing the facial tissue to shear off the cranium more or less in a single piece.
"For the first time in my career, I truly didn't know what to do," says Burns, a rangy, baby-faced man with a receding hairline and a self-effacing manner. But he knew instinctively that whatever solution he devised for Mycha (pronounced Mi-cah), he was probably going to make history with it. Reconstructive facial surgery had come a long way in just the decade and a half that he'd been practicing it. Vascular microsurgery had made the transfer of so-called free flaps — patches of tissue that include skin, muscle, fat, blood vessels, and nerves — from one place on the body to another a fairly routine matter, without the need for awkward connecting tubes of tissue (called pedicles) to supply blood to the grafted site, and improved anti-rejection drugs were allowing even grafts from donors to "take." The occasional miracle was now possible. Still, as far as Burns knew, creating essentially a whole new face for a patient out of his own tissue had never been tried before.
So he began networking with colleagues for suggestions. Two serious options emerged. One, proposed by Dr. Steve Byrd, was a wholesale face transplant from a donor. This had never been done either, but the doctors learned from experts in the field that new techniques and medications made it at least feasible. However, they realized that a transplant would involve a lot of red tape — advertising for and finding a donor, for starters. "We just ran out of time," recalls the 53-year-old Byrd. "We had a kid on a respirator we needed to save."
The second option was even more daunting than a transplant. Though the most flap transfers any reconstructive surgeon had ever attempted in repairing a damaged face was three, Burns and Byrd could see how grafting as many as five flaps to intact tissue on different parts of the boy's exposed skull could give surgeons the flexibility necessary to fashion somewhat more-normal facial features, restore more muscle movement and strength, and better re-establish nerve conduction. But their timing had to be exquisite: Once harvested, a free flap of tissue must be completely hooked up to its new site within four to six hours or it will die. In fact, Burns was expecting at least two of the flaps to do just that. And even if attached in time, the grafts could fail for all sorts of reasons: clotting or spasms in the newly grafted blood vessels, for example, or failure of grafted nerve tissue to grow new nerves properly. Meanwhile, severe trauma would also be inflicted on the parts of Mycha's body where hunks of tissue would be harvested for grafting.
There were other questions as well. The Herberts were of limited means and uninsured, so the hospital would have to pick up the tab for Mycha's medical expenses, which would surely amount to several hundred thousand dollars. Moreover, the initial round of surgical procedures alone could tie up an operating room for days — something unheard of at a busy trauma hospital like Children's. Finally, Burns knew that he couldn't mince words with the boy's young parents, who were, to complicate matters further, expecting their second child soon. Mycha would have only a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the operation, he told them. And if he did survive it, there was no guarantee that his newly reconstructed face would work, or that it would ever look normal.
Bobby Herbert, who was an unemployed construction worker at the time, didn't flinch. "We'd been thinking Mycha wouldn't make it at all, so any chance to save him was fine by me," he recalls. The hospital, for its part, was just as resolute. "I was expecting all sorts of problems," says Burns, "but they said they'd find the money somewhere and that we

Light-Sport Chronicles: Profiles In Vision: Dan Johnson, Part 2
Now-and-forever LSA: Whither goest the industry—and why?
"Heck, look at Rans alone," says Dan. "They've been around almost 30 years and have 4,500 airplanes flying (kits and ready-built) with as good a safety record as any other brand. The S-6LS Coyote II carries an $83,000 flyaway price."
I chime in with the numbers for the X-Air LS and Cheetah: $59,995, $49,500 and $44,995, respectively. All three designs riff on 30-plus years of proven ultralight technology—aluminum tube frames, stabilized Dacron fabric skins and well-beyond-ultralight performance to boot: 85 to 110 mph cruise, excellent fuel economy and easy maintenance.
And consider this: fairly low-hour used versions are showing up for less. "In 2002," Dan says, "we figured the magic number was between 50 and 60,000 bucks. Roughly speaking, that's $62,000 to $75,000 in current dollar value.
"That's the number we have today, at the low end anyway! And the Cheetah is below the number we thought an LSA would sell for 10 years ago! Did people imagine prices would automatically drop, like electronics, which have millions upon millions of units produced?
"So while LSA may in truth be too expensive for your budget, they're certainly not too expensive for what they are: safe, durable flying machines that you can have a lot of fun in and go places in, too," Dan concludes.
Many thanks to Dan for his as-always-cogent look at the Picture Grande. Fly safe, have fun and remember: LSA symbolize a new age of exploring the envelope of the air, so get out there and claim your place in the sky!

Double take
By studying twins, scientists help us understand what makes people who they are
By Emily Sohn, 00:00 AM December 10, 2008
Identical twins form when a fertilized embryo splits into two embryos early in development. These twins get the same genes from their parents, but such siblings aren't the same people.
I have a friend who looks just like me. We both have light brown hair that we wear pulled back, often in pigtails. We dress in the same types of sporty clothes. Our glasses have thick rims and a blue tint. We are both journalists, athletes and moms to little kids. Even our husbands loo...

Chill out (sometimes also chillout, chill-out, or simply chill), a term derived from a slang injunction to relax, emerged in the early and mid-1990s as a catch-all term for various styles of relatively mellow, slow-tempo music made by contemporary producers in the electronic music scene; there exists a misconception on last.fm that all music that isn't relatively hard on the ears can be termed chill or chillout. Therefore, this tag is highly abused and has lost much of its meaning.

Avoiding the Toughness Trap
The most urgent short-term goal of US policy should be to secure or eliminate nuclear bombs and bomb-making materials in Russia--where there are materials sufficient to build tens of thousands of nuclear weapons--and worldwide, where smaller quantities of bombs and bomb-making material might be seized by a terrorist group. Barack Obama has built up an admirable track record on this issue.
Negotiations to curb or roll back North Korea's nuclear program should continue, and saber-rattling toward Iran should be replaced by efforts to promote a grand political and security bargain. This would include ending military threats and economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for a pledge to limit its nuclear program to civilian purposes under a strict inspections regime. Some intelligence estimates put Iran's capability of building and deploying nuclear weapons at ten years or more in the future, a time frame that allows plenty of scope for negotiations, notwithstanding the recent tough talk from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The linchpin of efforts to stem the spread of nuclear weapons should be an initiative to implement sharp cuts in US and Russian arsenals, which together account for about 95 percent of all nuclear weapons worldwide. In this area Democratic candidates Barack Obama and John Edwards have staked out strong, forward-looking positions in line with the views of former officials such as Nixon/Ford Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Reagan Secretary of State George Shultz, Clinton Defense Secretary William Perry and former Senate Armed Services Committee chair Sam Nunn, who have endorsed the goal of "a world free of nuclear weapons," to be achieved by "working energetically on the actions required to achieve that goal." In keeping with this movement toward nuclear disarmament, the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration should abandon plans to research and build a new generation of nuclear warheads and eliminate plans to upgrade US bomb-making facilities under its Complex Transformation plan.
The second major thrust of a new security policy must address the stark misallocation of resources in this area, which is closely tied to the persistence of cold war strategies and weapons systems that have little relevance to today's security environment. Implementing a more comprehensive security policy entails using all the tools available--not just military force but diplomacy, intelligence, law enforcement, development assistance, environmental protection and forward-looking public health policies.
The top three Democratic candidates all endorse some version of this general framework. The difficulty arises when these candidates enunciate specific policies that are at odds with this perspective.
The most detailed proposal to date on how to engage in a shift in overall security spending is the Unified Security Budget (USB), the product of a task force organized by Foreign Policy in Focus and the Center for Defense Information (author's note: I was a member of the task force that produced the USB report). The most recent task force report calls for cutting $56 billion from the Pentagon budget by eliminating or scaling back spending on unnecessary programs like the F-22 combat aircraft, the Virginia class submarine, the V-22 Osprey, missile defense and nuclear weapons. The proposal then argues that $50 billion of these funds should be invested in peacekeeping, diplomacy, development of alternative energy sources, public health infrastructure and protection of chemical and nuclear plants. John Edwards has endorsed the concept of a USB, but it is not clear whether he would therefore move significant amounts of funding from the Pentagon to other security programs.
Even with the kinds of cuts outlined above, the United States will outspend its closest rival--China--by about five to one. Expenditures by actual or potential adversaries like Al Qaeda, the Iraq insurgency, Iran or North Korea barely register on the charts compared with the US military budget. Iran, the demon du jour, spends just above 1 percent of what the United States spends for military purposes.
But advocates of higher military budgets argue that US military spending should be measured not only against the spending of other countries but against the potential missions that the US military may be asked to carry out. A progressive defense policy needs to provide answers to the question of how traditional military threats should be addressed.

Great Barbican
The actual gate to the city was St Florian's gate, linked to the Barbican by a covered passageway. But the Barbican and the series of moats and walls which lead away from it, ringing the city, were the first point of entry to Krakow in the Middle Ages. Today, you still enter the Old Town of the city through the impressive Barbican.
Practical Info
Entry to the Barbican is included in the ticket for Brama Floriana gate tower and the other medieval fortifications. You can walk the remaining city walls.
