Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder
that originated in Africa. About 1,000 American babies are born with
this chronic disease every year, most of them with African ancestry.
More than 70,000 Americans — and
thousands more worldwide — are affected by the disease, which
produces blood cells that are sickle-shaped. The disease often causes
lung tissue damage, pain episodes, and strokes. Plus, most
people with sickle cell disease do not live long enough to celebrate
their fiftieth birthdays.
For years, doctors have known that sickle cell anemia causes pain
for those affected by it. Until a recently published study in the Annals
of Internal Medicine, however, they did not understand to what degree
of pain patients were dealing with. The study found that sickle cell
patients often suffer through the pain at home rather than seeking
treatment. Currently, there are some limited treatments for these patients,
but no cure yet. Researchers continue to be hopeful as they work to
find gene therapies that can help.
In this lesson, you will learn the basics of blood cells and the circulatory
system. You will also discover more about sickle cell anemia — its
causes, effects, and treatments.

Beautiful women!..of course those are the women from my hometown Mexicali. Pretty easy fight for Omar. I like his style better, it reminds me more of his dad than Julio Jr. He's finally getting his hunger after all that criticism he received.

New guys help Bruins top Blue Jackets
|10.12.13 at 4:39 pm ET
The Bruins' two biggest offseason additions made the difference Saturday as Jarome Iginla and Loui Eriksson helped the B's past the Blue Jackets, 3-1, in Columbus. Eriksson scored his first goal as a Bruin in the third period, which proved to be the game-winner.
The Blue Jackets got on the board late in the first period, when Jack Johnson fired a slap shot past Tuukka Rask with Patrice Bergeron in the box for holding. It was Columbus' third shot on goal of the game, as the Blue Jackets mustered only four shots on goal in the first period and one in the first 17:05.
The Bruins tied it up in the second period when Iginla made the most of his time on the penalty kill. Right after a Chris Kelly penalty expired, Iginla fed Kelly in the neutral zone and saw the veteran center enter the offensive zone and fire a slap shot that beat Sergei Bobrovsky five-hole. Eriksson then gave the B's in the third period with a 2-on-1 goal assisted by Patrice Bergeron. The B's got an empty-netter from Milan Lucic, putting he and Kelly in a tie for the team lead with two goals this season.
Matt Bartkowski made his season debut Saturday, playing on the second pairing with Dennis Seidenberg, while Dougie Hamilton was a healthy scratch. Brad Marchand was pulled off the second line in the third period, as he and Reilly Smith were flip-flopped. Smith picked up the secondary assist on Eriksson's goal.
The Bruins will return to Boston to host the Red Wings Monday at TD Garden.

Joseph Banks, the most prolific bank robber in Chicago history, who became one of the city's most daring escape artists when he and another inmate broke out of a federal high-rise jail by scaling down 15 stories on a rope made of bed sheets, was back in court today after being captured late last night, two and a half days after his brief run for freedom began.
Banks, who claims to be a "Moorish national" and exempt from federal laws, faces up to five years in prison for the escape.
He was awaiting sentencing in March for bank robbery when he and his cellmate, convicted bank robber Kenneth Conley, scaled down the building, hailed a cab and then disappeared into predawn darkness.
Banks was arrested without incident at 11:30 p.m. last night at a townhouse on the city's North Side by federal and local law enforcement, according to the Chicago Tribune.
As Banks appeared before a federal magistrate this morning, shackles dangling from his wrists and ankles, Conley remained at large.

State creates market approach to curb global warming pollution
State air quality regulators have established the nation's first comprehensive, market-driven initiative to curb global warming that eventually will affect Californians every time they pump gas, watch television or take a shower.
Years in the making and a survivor of a number of legal challenges, the "cap and trade" regulation finalized by the California Air Resources Board Thursday will set strict limits on industries that produce greenhouse gases linked to global warming. But, at the same time, regulators have installed a complex system of trades and offsets that they say will cushion the blow to the economy.
How it works
The regulation, known as "cap and trade," sets emission limits for hundreds of businesses. The state will provide permits to pollute up to certain levels. The system rewards efficient businesses that are under the cap, allowing them to sell emission credits. Businesses that exceed their ceiling could buy those credits. The amount of allowable emissions, and accompanying pollution credits, would be gradually reduced over time.
Cost vs. benefit
• Proponents say this will create a market-based incentive for reducing emissions.
• Regulators advance the theory that some revenue from the state selling pollution credits will come back and then be disbursed to consumers in the form of direct dividend checks or other means. But lawmakers and the governor have the final say.
• Utilities such as San Diego Gas & Electric must sell their free credits and use a share of the money to provide more rebates for energy-savers, such as insulation for water heaters and more-efficient appliances.
• Some of the money will be plowed back into clean-air programs and projects to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
• Critics suggest the regulation amounts to a carbon tax when businesses and consumers can afford it the least.
• Providers of staples such as fuel, electricity and water will be responsible for cutting emissions. They will have to buy credits as well, pushing prices up. However, the board agreed to review the impact on water agencies and oil refineries.
• Critics also say it rewards polluters. Instead, they say the state should charge hefty fees for the permits.
The law
• Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 signed Assembly Bill 32, the nation's most ambitious legislation aimed at global warming. The law directs the state Air Resources Board to take dramatic steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — primarily carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels such as oil — linked to global warming. The goal is to roll back emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, a reduction of about 15 percent from today's amount.
• In November, voters rejected Proposition 23, a measure that would have suspended the state's move to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
Why now?
The state says it must push ahead, contending global warming threatens to disrupt climate patterns, resulting in longer dry spells, tinder-dry forests and rising sea levels.
Oct. 20: Air board adopts the "cap and trade" regulations.
2013: Electricity sector and large industrial facilities must start complying.
2013-15: Businesses producing emissions gradually must start complying. Date determined by size of industry and amount of emissions.
2015: Transportation fuels sector brought in.

The ghosts of former Model-T drivers race alongside novice and veteran speed demons such as champion Larry Dixon as they try to secure enough points to propel their teams into the Countdown playoffs and Full Throttle championships. The legendary track lives up to its reputation for smoothness as cars glide towards the finish line like sticks of butter on a bunny slope.2780 Fairplex DrivePomona, CA US
Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of CommerceRead MoreA multifarious but rarely nefarious array of local wineries, restaurants, artisans, crafters, and entertainers fortifies the stomping grounds at the Grape Harvest Festival, the oldest fete of its kind in California. But the main attraction is, without a doubt, the myriad buckets of squishy, sweet violet spheres waiting for aspirant tap dancers and resentful vegetable farmers to engage in one of the few remaining traditional grape stomps open to the public. Once you've finished gleefully purpling your heels, you'll get to taste the fermented fruits of local labor and celebrate the Rancho Cucamonga community?s vineyard heritage by sampling sips and nibbles from fine neighboring eateries, with each bite soundtracked by live music and other performances populating the various festival stages. Meanwhile, palates preferring motor oil to wine can salivate over the careful craftsmanship and luscious vroom-vrooms of the fest?s Saturday motorcycle rally and Sunday car show, which showcase a wide sampling of motos, including wine-powered Harleys and the rare ?82 vintage Ford Zinfandel. And with more than 100 arts and crafts options, the artsy-flatulentsy of any age can both make and take home handcrafted treasures.7945 Vineyard AveRancho Cucamonga, CA US
Maloof FoundationRead MoreFor more than half a century, internationally renowned woodworker Sam Maloof remained a leader in his field by crafting furniture that included rocking chairs for four US presidents. While some of his pieces now grace permanent collections at acclaimed sites such as New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, more than 100 pieces are exhibited at the Maloof Foundation museum. Housed in Sam's hand-built 16-room residence, the museum showcases rotating exhibits in gallery spaces such as the Pyramid Room and the Jacobs Gallery. Before becoming a museum, the residence was relocated from its original lemon grove to a 6-acre site, where it's now nestled amid lemon trees and a 4-acre Maloof Discovery Garden that features sculptures and native California plants. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the residence opens for docent-led tours twice a week and doubles as a gathering place for programs such as crafts workshops.5131 Carnelian St.Rancho Cucamonga, CA US

Thankfully, charter cruises allow adults to enjoy the trip, too. The boat: American Pride, a 130-foot, three-masted schooner, originally built in 1941 as a commercial fishing ship. The K-12 educational tours: On the marine ecology tour, kids learn about aquatic ecosystems and animals, such as gray whales and ecru whales. Living history tours, on the other hand, focus on the gold rush, life on the docks, and the earliest treaties between pelicans and humans. The charters: These tours range from a whale-watching trip to a Sunday brunch cruise with a buffet-style meal?and an optional shot at steering the ship.4676 Lakeview AveYorba Linda, CA US

A natural lattice basis problem
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Integer lattices have numerous important applications, but some of them may have been overlooked because of the common assumption that a lattice basis is part of the problem instance. This paper gives an application that requires finding a basis for a lattice defined in terms of linear constraints. We show how to find such a basis efficiently.

Recipe by Carri G.
"My Great Grandmother Hester's recipe, as given to me by my Great Aunt Jan."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
1/4 cup
1 cup
vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
This is a traditional Red Velvet Cake icing, sometimes called Waldorf-Astoria Frosting. Other versions use butter in place of Crisco, or have slightly more flour. I prefer the butter variety, but this version is stable at room temperature due to the Crisco, and the flavor trade-off is worth it when space in the fridge is at a premium. This was my first time refrigerating the milk/flour mixture and I can honestly say I won't do that again -- getting it that cold makes it hard to beat in without leaving bits behind, so room temperature works best for me. When doubling this recipe, do not double the liquid. I found that 1 1/2-1 3/4 cups milk was sufficient for a doubled recipe, and use whole milk if you can, so the fats bind to the flour rapidly, and you can do less stirring. Not doubling the milk when doubling the recipe is NOT a criticism of the recipe, just a rule of thumb for doubling frosting recipes in general. Thank you Carri G. for sharing your g-grandmother's recipe with us! P.S. Shortening has no flavor, so if yours has a flavor, throw it away and buy a new one, yours is going bad. Off-brands especially do this faster than regular Crisco. If your frosting has a weird TEXTURE that's different -- you needed to beat the sugar longer.
I have to agree with another viewer that this frosting tastes too strongly of shortening. It actually has left an aftertaste in my mouth, so I will have to try something else for my red velvet cupcakes. I suggest maybe using butter instead in this recipe. It is easy to make, but not to my liking.

I fully expected to not like this recipe. It just seemed odd to me, but I kept hearing great things about it so I decided to give it a shot. It is fantastic! Incredibly light, smooth, and delicious. Thanks for opening my eyes!
I've never written a review here before, but this recipe stunned me into amazement so I had to share. I ran out of icing sugar and needed a last minute recipe to make some cupcake frosting before running off to a pot-luck. Looking at this recipe I was skeptical that it would work, but had little other choice. Even as I was mixing it together, I envisioned a granular crunchy icing. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was so silky, smooth and delicious! It's better than my go-to icing recipe even. I may never buy icing sugar again. I did make a couple modifications: I used half a cup of butter and half a cup of vegetable shortening, and I didn't have any milk so I used half a cup of whipping cream and half a cup of water. Sooooo delicious!!!!
Easy to make. Light, fluffy and delicious. Highly recommend it.
I used rice milk, cooked 1/4 cup sugar with the milk and flour and added 1/4 t salt and 3 T cocoa for an amazing chocolate icing.
The frosting was easy to make and had a good texture. However, the taste was disappointing. It had a strong after taste of vegetable shortening.
This recipe is similar to the filling in good old fashioned twinkies and the original filling type for Whoopie Pies(or Gobs) before the invention of Marshmallow Fluff. To tweak this recipe for flavor: add 1 cup of real butter to the existing ingredients, the shortening must be the Crisco brand or it really doesn't have quite the same flavor/texture,(using butter flavored crisco instead of butter AND Crisco doesn't seem to work). Change the white sugar to powdered sugar and double it to 2 cups, it won't be overly sweet. The powdered sugar also has cornstarch in it that will help to thicken the mixture. The flour can be cut back to 2 Tbsp because of the powdered sugar effects. Double the vanilla to 2 tsp, use clear vanilla if you would like a really white frosting. A faster way than to "cook"(Ermine or boiled milk frosting method): have all ingredients at room temperature. Using a stand mixer (helpful as the mixing process can be long)keep mixing until frosting comes together. (a hand mixer can be used, just have to stand there mixing and mixing for quite some time). The mixture starts off as a runny, globby mess, and the longer it is mixed, it magically comes together into a fluffy white frosting. Depending on the size of the cake, all of the recipe ingredients could be cut in half. One reviewer made an excellent observation, this frosting IS stable at room temperature.

"We have not been successful connecting with the parents of kids attending VBS," is a statement I often hear from pastors and VBS leaders. This has not been from lack of trying since most of us have tried a variety of methods from daily newsletters to offering Adult VBS classes.

Using VBS to Initiate Continued Connections
Several years ago LifeWay's VBS Team surveyed 3,000 leaders about church practices and potential resources. We were amazed when 97% of the respondents agreed their greatest need was help with follow-up (connecting with unchurched guests and families attending VBS). Each year approximately 10% of everyone attending VBS acknowledge being unchurched. Considering approximately 3,000,000 kids, teens, and adults participate, 10% is 300,000. Of course since most of these individuals are kids, when you ... Continue Reading
The Heart of VBS—Evangelism
Back in 1996 the VBS team felt God leading them to revisit the format and principles of "doing" VBS. In 1997 the new VBS was rolled out with The Wild and Wonderful Good News Stampede. Many of you could probably sing the theme song and have fond of memories of attending or leading VBS that year, but you may not have been aware that one of the driving principles of VBS was and is evangelism. VBS is meant to be more than just a fun event for your church kids, more than just a summer diversion ... Continue Reading

Jordan Bratton - Midnight Rage
Artist: Jordan Bratton
Producer: Jordan Bratton
Album: Grey Area
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
Jordan Bratton's recent debut feature found the buzzmaking artist and producer stuck in The Grey area between love and exasperation, thanks to a certain woman's fickle, manipulative behavior. A week and change later, her incessant mind games have him seeing red. As he puts it on the freshly-released follow-up single, "You've got me living in a Midnight Rage." His cryptic, yet emotionally-charged verses come backed by insistent mid-tempo percussion and a powerful bassline. On the back, the record switches gears unexpectedly, transitioning into a soothing, string-led outro. Like what you're hearing? More eclectic bangers await on debut album Grey Area, scheduled for independent release sometime this fall.

The National Parks: America's Best Idea is a 2009 documentary film for television, DVD and companion book (ISBN 978-0307268969) by director/producer Ken Burns and producer/writer Dayton Duncan which features the United States National Park system and traces the system's history.[2] The series won two 2010 Emmy Awards for outstanding writing in episode 2 "The Last Refuge", and for outstanding non-fiction series.
Peter Coyote is the narrator of all episodes, with first-person voices supplied by Adam Arkin, Philip Bosco, Kevin Conway, Andy García, Tom Hanks, Clay Jenkinson, John Lithgow, Josh Lucas, Carolyn McCormick, Campbell Scott, George Takei, Eli Wallach and Sam Waterston.[1] Shelton Johnson, a National Park ranger,[4] was a surprising hit.
- "The Scripture of Nature" (1851–1890) shows the beauty of Yosemite Valley and the geyser wonderland of Yellowstone. Additionally, it offers a lengthy discussion of how Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks were created and shows how John Muir became their eloquent defender. Aired Sunday, September 27, 2009.
- "The Last Refuge" (1890–1915) Theodore Roosevelt uses the presidential powers of the Antiquities Act to add National Monuments, including Devils Tower, Mesa Verde, Petrified Forest, Muir Woods, Crater Lake and the Grand Canyon. Hetch Hetchy Valley is lost through damming. Roosevelt's speech at the dedication of Yellowstone's Roosevelt Arch states the ultimate purpose of the National Parks: For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People. Aired Monday, September 28.
- "The Empire of Grandeur" (1915–1919) covers the creation of the National Park Service and the influence of its early leaders Stephen Mather and Horace M. Albright, and wealthy industrialists who Mather persuaded to help him champion the park system. Aired Tuesday, September 29.
- "Going Home" (1920–1933) focuses on the time when America embraced the automobile, setting off an explosion in the number of park visits. Also, the Rockefellers quietly buy up land in the Teton Mountain Range. Aired Wednesday, September 30.
- "Great Nature" (1933–1945) emphasizes the societal impacts of the park concept, including new environmental and naturalistic perspectives, employment opportunities and application of the park idea to additional geographical locations. Aired Thursday, October 1.
- "The Morning of Creation" (1946–1980) offers details about the ecological damage caused by 62 million visitors each year and the controversial decision to protect wolves in Alaska which had been hunted to extinction in all other parks. Aired Friday, October 2.
Some foreign releases of the series – notably Australia – have separated it into 12 hour-long episodes.
The film was previewed in a seven-minute segment at the end of the fourth episode of Burns's 2007 PBS documentary, The War.[citation needed] The first two-hour segment premiered at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College on April 17, 2009. Episodes debuted daily, beginning Sunday September 27 to Friday October 2, with full episodes online the following day.
Funding for the documentary came from WETA and foundations:

If we haven't already reached it, we're rapidly approaching the point when the intended audience for found-footage horror movies can no longer remember when such films didn't outnumber their created-footage brethren by a ratio of approximately 28:1.
Adding to that divide is Karl Mueller's Mr. Jones, which tells of a couple sojourning into the woods to film a nature documentary and rejuvenate their relationship. Things get weird on night 51 of the couple's woodland residency, when birds fly into the side of their cabin; they get weirder the next day, when a hooded figure appears in the background of their footage. Full of sun-kissed imagery, self-effacing humor, and ruminative narration, these early scenes prove an exception to most of this genre du jour's tired rules, which makes it especially disappointing when the third act does little more than reinforce them. Mueller justifies Scott and Penny's questionable choice to explore a creepy nearby cabin by noting that it's the only monotony-breaking thing either of them has seen in a month; once in there, they realize they've found the lair of Mr. Jones, an urban legend said to create enigmatic totems and send them to unwitting recipients across the world whose waking and unconscious hours are forever altered.
Mr. Jones is the stuff of both conspiracy theories and collegiate discourse, and Mueller's elliptical exploration and creation of that mythology sets the bar a bit too high for his much-less-interesting protagonists to fully clear.

In general, a namespace is a container that provides context for the identifiers (names, or technical terms, or words) it holds, what allows the disambiguation of homonym identifiers residing in different namespaces. For many programming languages, a namespace is a context for their identifiers. In an operating system, an example of namespace is a directory.

Eyes and Hands Declared Most Prominent Body Parts In Country Music
- Based on a compilation of more than 10,000 songs, artists Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg put together a data visualization chart that lists the most common body parts (pictures included) referenced in music by genre. Eyes and hands are the most referenced parts in country music. They even compiled a rebus glossary of all the terms used "with racier terms represented by racier images." (via Listening Post)
- Josh Grider released a five-song digital EP today exclusively through Lone Star Music. Physical copies and iTunes downloads will be made available in October, but for now you can visit his MySpace where he's uploaded three of the five songs: "Rock and Roll Tonight," "Maps" and "Deadman Walkin'."
- The influential '70s group Little Feat released an album today titled Join the Band where they rerecorded their classics with specials guests like Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, Brooks & Dunn, Emmylou Harris and Sam Bush.
- Craig Shelburne says he loves traditional country music, but claims Lee Ann Womack's upcoming Call Me Crazy album doesn't adhere to such strict guidelines.
Yet, you can't mistake it for anything but country music, and she's still plucking the highest caliber of songs from the piles of demos floating around Nashville. One particular treat is hearing her rendition of "The King of Broken Hearts," which George Strait sang on the Pure Country soundtrack. I've always had an appreciation for the lyric that goes, "The King of Broken Hearts doesn't know he's a king." Indeed. Strait himself shows up for a duet on the album as well, on "Everything But Quits."
- Melodic Sunburst introduces the Mo Robson Band (MySpace), who have two albums to their name: their self-titled, hard chargin' country debut and the follow-up, Even Angles Fall, in which they introduce more of their rock sensibilities while retaining a sense of tradition.
- Ashley Monroe uploaded a new song to her MySpace titled "Slow Down."
- Michael McCall says The Lost Trailers charm on their new CD, and even recommends checking out "Blacktop Road," so he doesn't have anything explicitly bad to say, but based on his review there doesn't seem like very many redeeming qualities to their album, Holler Back.
- The American Idol machine added a new judge to sit in with Simon, Paula and Randy. Her name is Kara DioGuardi and among her numerous industry accomplishments are writing credits on Carrie Underwood's "Sometimes You Leave" and Faith Hill's "Lost."
- For Mike Severson's frequent "Industry Pro" feature he interviewed Frank Edwards, the PD at Clear Channel KRYS/Corpus Christi. He seems like a pretty sharp dude, and I may or may not just be saying that because he listed The 9513 as one of his favorite blogs.
- Tonight at 8PM Central time, Radio Free Texas will be playing the newest album from Hazzard, Choices, in its entirety and the band will be in the chat room to answer any questions you have.
- One of our faithful readers sent in a link that he describes as funny, irreverant and almost-racy from Men.Style.com. The website features closeups of people's faces and you have to decide whether the person is a country star singing on stage, or a porn star showing their "O" face.
- Listen to The Derailers' new album, Guaranteed to Satisfy, in its entirety on Last.fm. It's pulling to wrong album cover for me, but it's definitely the sweet, satisfying sound of The Derailers. (via Palo Duro Records)
- Via a press release, the phoenix-esque reemergence of No Depression in bookazine form will debut on October 15th, and on top of that, a new, enhanced website will debut in late September.
- This Is Texas Music has several songs samples from Jason Allen's new album, The Twighlight Zone.
Allen uses his smooth, silky voice and seemingly limitless range to pay tribute to a variety of inspirations. There are traces of Buddy Holly in opener "I Can't Let You Go," echoes of Roy Orbison in "Lost," even a nod to the big band era on "Dance With Me Baby." But the best of the bunch is "He's Still Dancin' With Her," a straight-up sad country song about a widower dancing by himself, oblivious to all but memories of his lost love (and written in memory of Allen's late mother).
- Vote for the most beautiful woman in country music, then let us know in the comments who you chose.

Craig Shelburne says he loves traditional country music, but claims Lee Ann Womack's upcoming Call Me Crazy album doesn't adhere to such strict guidelines.
Here is where the whole "Anything that not popped up on bubblegum must be traditional" thing that pervades so much of country today is problematic. LeeAnn Womack has never been traditional, merely country.
Also, I will be soon starting a new fund raiser to cover my expenses so I can fly around the world and slap the living er..WITS out of anyone attempting to bring back "Holla" or "Holler." Please let me know if you would like to donate.
Stormy: I would actually say that Womack's last album is traditional, regardless of who what compare it to. She may not sing about trains or coal mines like Jimmie Rodgers, and the produciton on her last album may be more slick than anything the Carter family ever produced, but compare it to what is called "neo-traditional" these days and it easily fits into a traditional mold.
BTW, good news day :-)
As for the last news item….I had to write-in my choice…Patty Loveless.
Me too…Phil Stacey
Please let me know if you would like to donate.
Stormy, I would like to go with you. I am going to start practicing slapping people right now!
For the last one Taylor Swift
PAULA: We can form a club. If we get enough people maybe we can even take on Ginormous.
Stormy, I'm ready. I've slapped three people already this afternoon just for the heck of it! (Ok, not really, but I wanted to!)
If we get enough people maybe we can even take on Ginormous.
That'll be a gigundo undertaking.
John: Yeah, well, I got Paula on my side!
And John, Stormy and I can do it because we have ginormously gigundo attitudes.
Kara DioGuardi, the new Idol judge, has also written for Paris Hilton, the Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Basically, every pop-crap confection in the last few years has used her songs, so don't expect Idol to have any more country winners. They're aiming directly for the Disney High School Musical crowd now.
Prettiest woman in country music? Kelly Willis, though Emmylou Harris should win some sort of lifetime achievement award.
prettiest woman in country music? question and timing smells like a conspiracy of the management-teams of jessica simpson, carrie underwood and taylornation swift. exo-mundo marketing!
Stormy: I would be very interested in donating. lol.
Kara DioGuardi sounds like the perfect judge for Idol, doesn't she?
The "most beautiful" link was dead for me but I'll add my vote for Patty Loveless. Used to think Sara Evans was the sh#@ but not so much anymore :)
and Stormy, I will donate whatever I can to not only stop the "holla" thing but anyone who speaks Ebonics without actually being from Ebonia
Gretchen Wilson's fan club must really be promoting this poll… no offence to her or anything, but she should not be 2nd in the poll.
I think Emily West is gorgeous inside and out.
Peter, you and I have similar taste ;)
As for Emily West.. I'm just waiting for the stitching to fall apart.. she looks like a rag doll… with a bad celine dion lookalike face :(
Too gangly for me :) Still.. a million times better looking than Gretchen, mostly a man, Wilson. blech. Couldn't buy me enough crappy backwoods beer to think that looks good.
The King of Broken Hearts is one of my favourite Jim Lauderdale songs – can't wait to hear Womack's version.
I voted for Sarah Buxton just because I like her the best of all of the gals listed. I actually think "plastic Barbie" Julianne Hough is the most physically attractive and I'm surprised how far down the list she is. Poor Jennifer Hanson has zero votes so far so having her on the list was probably not a good idea.
Thanks for the Ashley Monroe link. I hope someone from the 9513 or one of you other blogwriter regulars here will catch her Bluebird Cafe songwriters round on September 2nd so we can get a report and maybe an interview!
So, if PD Frank Edwards reads The 9513 has he adopted the "AirHead Country" terminology yet? I challenge all Top 40 country programmers to rise above the fluffy pop-rock crap and get back to some real country music…
I think Hough is the most attractive as well, which is who I voted for. Clearly this poll isn't being viewed in the light it should be, which is as superficial as possible for their looks, not their personality or music (sounds bad, I know… but that's what it needs to be to get the right results)
Tonight's "Rick's Random Tidbits" will focus on this weeks adds to the Americana Charts: (from AllAboutCoubtry.com, oer usual)
"Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson Top Americana Adds List! "Rattlin' Bones" Gets 28 First Week Adds!
Americana stations and outlets love those artist collaborations! This week, 28-Americana outlets sent Kasey Chambers' and Shane Nicholson's Rattlin' Bones to the top of the Add Board.
Rodney Crowell's Sex And Gasoline picked up an initial 25 stations and someone we haven't heard from in a long time picks up the third most-added spot: Loudon Wainwright III's Recovery finds 13 stations.
The Americana Chart is sanctioned by the Americana Music Association.
Here are the Top 5 Adds At Americana"
1. Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson/Rattlin' Bones (28)
2. Rodney Crowell/Sex And Gasoline (25)
3. Loudon Wainwright III/Recovery (13)
4. Todd Snider/Peace Queer (12)
5. Joan Baez/Day After Tomorrow (11)"
I must say that is a far more interesting list than the stuff getting added to Top 40 mainstream fluff country radio……….
Rick: Rattlin' Bones wasn't an easy listen at first, especially as a big fan of Kasey's regular stuff, but sticking with it produced some gems and a very enjoyable album.

From the article: Pregnancy Discrimination Claims Rose in the 1990s, early 2000s
Pregnancy discrimination is illegal, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Have you seen a colleague suffer at work for being pregnant? Or have you suspected pregnancy discrimination against yourself? Please share your story of pregnancy discrimination.
pregnancy and work discrimination
- I am pregnant and we decided to relocate from Maryland to Boston MA. About a month ago I came to Boston for few interviews and at the end of the day I had a verbal agreement to come back and start working September 15. I have to say that right now I am about six month along finally start showing but not too much, if you are not looking for my belly you will not find it. Anyways a month ago you could nit see it at all. I had few interviews and we agreed when I will relocate to Boston just swing by to wrap things up and start working. Make it short, I really like the person who hired (verbally) me, so I though that would be fare to tell him after we agreed on days and compensation that I am pregnant so it would not look like a hidden secret. We shook hands I walked out of the salon ( ACote Salon) and no later than 30 minutes later I received an email suggesting that the owner/manager Mr. Safar made a decision not to hire me. Just like that, plain.

i love being a mum.
- i love being a mum. it's the most amazing thing in the world. it's amazing watching my little boy grow up. watching him develop more and more each day. i couldn't ask for anything better than my lovely little boy. i love everything about being a mum. disturbing nights can be very hard to bear especcially when i haven't had much sleep. because i bottle feed i encorage my partner to share the feeds with me.my partner finds it a valuable time to get to no harvey.i was breastfeeding at first and there's not really much my partner can do threw the night. but my partner felt happier and so did i. as with bottlefeeds you can share things. take it in turns to do diffrent things to help each other out. i have just stopped asking myself to be perfect iv stopped trying so hard. you don't have to be perfect and if i were i dont think it would be that good for my little boy. people have to take me as they find me that goes for people and children who drop in and find yesterdays washing up.

Fired for Having a 3rd Baby
- One of those companies that always tops Working Mothers list of family friendly companies fired a friend when she became pregnant with her 3rd baby. It was like they were humoring her with the first two, but with a third baby, that was it. The third pregnancy seemed to say to the company that clearly her priorities put family over career. She had only excellent reviews for the decade she worked there. They really didn't even try to deny the reason. Just gave her a fat out-of-court settlement in exchange for her silence. That's why I'm always skeptical of those lists of family friendly companies. The official HR rules and benefits do not match the reality of working there.

CPS, city police start partnership
Detective's move aimed at solving cases quickly
The move from police headquarters to the Child Protective Services office on Monday put one detective at the forefront of a plan to better tackle child-related cases.
Corpus Christi police detective Mike Ilse is the first officer to be housed in the same facility as CPS investigators in Region 11, which covers 19 counties in South Texas, said Georgina Morales, the region's program administrator of investigations.
On Monday, Morales and Corpus Christi Police Chief Bryan Smith signed a memorandum of understanding at the CPS office on Greenwood Drive to solidify the partnership.
Police and CPS investigators interact daily on joint cases involving children who are sexually or physically abused, abandoned or killed. During the past three years, nearly 3,000 cases involved Corpus Christi police and CPS investigators, according to CPS officials.
Moving a detective to the Greenwood office is aimed at making those joint cases run more smoothly, Smith said.
"We all share the same clientele -- the same group of citizens who need our help," Smith said. "It allows us to better serve the public."
Ilse said being closer to CPS investigators could help reduce the number of times a victim is interviewed and help police more quickly obtain arrest warrants in some cases.
"I think it's going to be monumental on how we do our cases," said Ilse as he stood in his new office. "It's going to cut down on the wait."
Police Cmdr. David Torres said three other detectives who primarily handle child-related cases will remain at the downtown station for now, but could one day also make the move.
"This is our first step," Torres said. "We really just want to optimize our efficiency."

The Block Island offshore wind farm will produce more power than originally expected, said Deepwater Wind CEO Jeff Grybowski at an open meeting before the state's Public Utilities Commission. The company expected the wind farm to produce 40 percent of its total maximum power. But since the company proposed the project, advances in turbine technology have bumped up the wind farm's projected efficiency.
The state's Public Utilities Commission will be brought up to speed today on the status of the Block Island wind farm project. As Rhode Island Public Radio's environmental reporter Ambar Espinoza reports, Deepwater Wind and others will offer those updates.
The Public Utilities Commission approved a 14 percent rate increase in National Grid electricity rates. The vote was met with anger by residents who attended this morning's public hearing.
Angry residents repeatedly asked the PUC not to approve the electricity rate hike. Warren resident Joyce Katzberg said she wants publicly-owned utilities that aren't beholden to corporate interests.
"And for those utilities to be brought to us through clean, safe, and renewable sources, not fracking, not mountaintop removal, and not nuclear power plants," said Katzberg.
In a packed hearing room, the state's Public Utilities Commission listened to testimony for much of the day on National Grid's proposed 24 percent rate hike.
The increase would kick in January 1st, how long it will last is another matter. The PUC heard testimony both for and against stretching a lower rate out over twelve months as opposed to the requested six months.
The Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission said it will consider a new minimum limousine charge, after four limousine companies sued over a $40 minimum charge.
The $40 minimum charge for a limousine ride was supposed to go into effect November 11th. But the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission agreed to suspend enforcement after four limousine companies sued.

Strategies and Approaches in Oral Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
Academic journal article
By Watt, Richard G.
Bulletin of the World Health Organization , Vol. 83, No. 9 , September 2005
Article excerpt
Oral health is an integral element of general health and wellbeing. Good oral health enables individuals to communicate effectively, to eat and enjoy a variety of foods, and is important in overall quality of life, self-esteem and social confidence (1). However, oral diseases affect a significant proportion of the world's population and exact a heavy toll in terms of morbidity and mortality (2). A range of diseases and conditions can be classified as oral diseases including dental caries, periodontal diseases, oral cancers, noma, dental erosion and dental fluorosis. Oral diseases are highly prevalent and their impact on both society and the individual is significant. Pain, discomfort, sleepless nights, limitation in eating function leading to poor nutrition, and time off school or work as a result of dental problems are all common effects of oral diseases.
Although overall improvements in oral health have occurred in many developed countries over the last 30 years, oral health inequalities have emerged as a major public health challenge because lower income and socially disadvantaged groups experience disproportionately high levels of oral disease (2). In many developing countries economic, social and political changes have had a significant effect on diet and nutrition with a shift occurring from traditional towards more "westernized" diets (3). As a consequence the consumption of sugars has risen and levels of dental caries have increased (2). This is a particular problem in the primary dentition in which most caries remain untreated. In some parts of the developing world, oral cancers and noma are a significant cause of premature death and extreme disability.
Oral diseases are however largely preventable. The challenge is to create the opportunity and conditions to enable individuals and communities to enjoy good oral health. Although advances in clinical operative techniques have made dental treatment more effective and acceptable, treatment approaches alone will never eradicate oral diseases. Indeed in many low-income countries in the developing world, the total costs of providing traditional operative dental care would exceed the entire health care budget (4). Effective public health approaches are therefore required to prevent oral diseases and promote oral health across the population. The aim of this paper is to outline public health strategies to promote oral health and reduce inequalities. An overview of the Ottawa Charter and other public health policy frameworks developed by WHO is presented. The evidence base for preventive interventions for oral disease is then summarized. The principles underlying oral health strategies are outlined, and finally some case studies are presented to illustrate the approaches recommended.
A collection of published information sources was used as reference material for this paper. A series of WHO policy reports and reviews provided valuable guidance on the public health principles underpinning the development of oral health strategy. A range of Cochrane and other systematic reviews that have assessed the effectiveness of oral health interventions are summarized below. In addition, key publications on oral health and a collection of international case-studies have been used to provide practical details of the public health approaches used to promote oral health.
Global context for health promotion and public health policy
In recognition of the limited ability of health education and clinical prevention to produce sustainable improvements in health and to reduce inequalities, WHO organized an international conference in Canada in 1986 to develop a more radical public health approach to prevention. Following the discussions at this conference the Ottawa Charter was published to provide a set of guiding principles for health promotion (5).
The Ottawa Charter defined health promotion as: "The process of enabling individuals and communities to increase control over the determinants of health and thereby improve their health. …

May I simply just say what a relirf to find an individual who actually knows what they are
discussing online. You certainly know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More and more people really need to check this out and understand this side of the story.
I can't believe you are not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
I saw you on EWTN's The World Over Live with Raymond Arroyo. You appeared with Michael Coren discussing religious persecution in a way that brought it home. Truth, intelligence, insight and conviction were evident. At 73 and wishing to retire from law in the US, I pray for much the same in my life. God bless you and all who see and act accordingly. . . .
I've been browsing online more than three hours lately, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
It's beautiful worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers
made good content material as you probably did, the net can be much more helpful than ever before.
Hi there, I read your neԝ stufvf liҟе every
week. Yoսr wrijting style іs witty, ҟeep doing what ʏoս're
I was born and raised in , Wavetree, Lpool and Lord Alton was our MP. I have never had the privilege to meet him, but have admired the mans integrity over the years . It's not just simply a word to him, it's a principal that he truly believes in.
I really enjoy reading his comments on here and have particular in interest in Asia as I have lived and worked in Central Asia for last 25 years.
I'm impressed, I ust say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and interesting, andd without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something that not enoughh people are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
Please advise whereI can find details of Maamtrasna murders. A friend referred me
to your written account of this. My parents are from Tourmakeady, Mayo, and I
am very interested in reading these details. Many thanks, Kate
