It's tough for eleven-year-old Ned to stop eating. At four-feet-eight inches tall he weighs one hundred and nine pounds, and he keeps growing--wider. When his pareents send him to a summer diet camp, he and his bunkmates can't quite give up their old habits. The joys of candy and doughnuts are so appealing that "cheating" adventures seems to be the only answer. The problem, of course, is how to lose weight and keep eating sweets. When Ned finally realizes that there is only one way to lose weight for good, his whole family is glad to help, except Grandma. How can he resist temptation without hurting his grandma and himself?

Wearing my Regular Slim-Tapered Darron Wash 8Z8, as I have been doing for the last 9 months...
886b is the best grey jeans, and its fit you perfect!
What shoes are you wearing? I love the color of them!
Phukette your last outfits looks really good, especially the firetrap shirt and 887k combination. Its size the same size 33 from before? its looks less slimmer than it looks before.
I still Dont know if I should get 600r or chi tight in grey charocal, Im more of a jeans person, but the 600r looks pretty thin, even thinner than other lyocell washes. What do you think? How is it compared to 801a in term of size and fit?
Thanks! I'll probably order them in the next couple of days.
600r is 32 right?
nice outfit! usually not like double denim, but its looks good on you.
Great outfit, Phukette!

Making the most of their final moments in France, Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z took their daughter Blue Ivy on a boat ride in Paris on Wednesday (September 10).
As they enjoyed the leisurely afternoon, the "Run the World" songstress kept a close eye on the paparazzi and shielded her daughter's face from being photographed.
Never one for conventional methods, Jay Z put together a lovely video clip to show Beyoncé Knowles some love on her 33rd birthday.
The "Hard Knock Life" rapper made sure the clip was 33 seconds long and included footage of their On The Run concert tour.
There's something special about the connection between sisters, and over the weekend Beyoncé Knowles caught up with her little sibling Solange Knowles at the Made in America music festival in Los Angeles.
The "Crazy in Love" songstress smiled for photos with her outspoken sister, enjoying a few beers as they chatted away.
Putting an end to the divorce rumors, Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles showed up at Kanye West's performance at the Budweiser Made in America music festival on Sunday (August 31) looking pretty loved-up.
It's no secret that Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles have been a constant target of divorce rumors, however Matthew Knowles is convinced it was all a show.
During his interview with 104.1 in Houston on Thursday (August 28), the "Crazy in Love" singer's father called his daughter and son-in-law's antics a "Jedi mind trick."
As if her sold out concert tours and platinum records weren't enough, Beyoncé Knowles is the cover girl for Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book Issue #5.
The "Crazy in Love" singer was finally revealed after the CR website asked readers to submit their own picks for who might be the lucky lady.
She gave a massive 15-minute performance to close out the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and Beyoncé Knowles gave viewers one of the most beautiful displays of family love as she accepted the Video Vanguard Award from her husband Jay Z and daughter
With another year's show come and gone, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards offered up plenty of action while honoring the best in the music business.

I pulled the dryer apart and found the belt dangling from the drum. Knee-jerked the purchase of a replacement belt without looking at anything else in the dryer.... (foreshadowing!!!!) When the belt arrived, it occurred to me that I hadn't considered that the old belt was still intact, just frayed a bit. At that point I found the idler pulley bushing had galled on its axle, and the plastic pulley had separated from the bushing and been ground down by the rotating belt. So I had to order (separately) the idler pulley. Using the GREAT video on belt repair (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z76qrBmSUeE), I had the new idler pulley and belt on and the dryer reassembled in about an hour. The only slightly tricky part was having to re-bend the E-clip that holds the idler pulley so it would be tight in its groove. Thanks 1x10^6 for the outstanding tutorial video! And make sure you do a complete evaluation before ordering your parts.....

Either comment on the process before the vote on Monday or forever hold your peace.Which process are you referring to now?I think this is a good time for you to start reading the agenda.Please stop being dismissive and read the rest of mails where I gave you more input.
Reviewing what you've written so far; - not at FUDCon I've told you I'm sorry, give it a rest already.- "It's general principle to be inclusive of everyone in the community as much as possible"
Wasting my time typing this email is a little more inclusive then I'd like to see.
- "I've commented on the spins process extensively"And how do you think your comments are not in the new process we've come up with during FUDCon?
- "what should a report contain?"I'm not sure yet, have any ideas? This has settled down just under 3 days, and it hasn't even been voted upon yet. Do you want all the details now? You sure? Because that would make it more permanent and less flexible then the state it's in now (still open for suggestions).
- you're confused on what process it is we're talking about Suggested solution: read the Spins_Process page on the Wiki - you're looking for what the process was and how we streamlined it Suggested solution: read the Spins_Process page on the Wiki- you're eager to know what needs to be done for XFCE and other spins you submitted
Suggested solution: Await what the Spins SIG comes up with after the meeting, since this item is on the agenda
- you have an opinion about Spins being Spins vs. Features Suggested solution: weight that argument in your vote for the new process- """It would be still viable if the process is outlined. The process has to be in discussed and in place before FESCo delegates it to somebody else."""
1) The process is outlined2) the process has been discussed, with representatives of Rel-eng, our dear Feature Wrangler, the Spins SIG leader, a few spin-submitting/maintaining users, a FESCo delegate, and reviewed afterwards by QA and the Rel-Eng lead. Remember that Rel-Eng in the first place is the party to whom FESCo delegated responsibility.
I could continue but I don't feel like it. I sure hope this email sounds dismissive enough for you to finally stop arguing over nothing and continue the part of the thread where I think you may have actually said something useful.
Kind regards, Jeroen van Meeuwen -kanarip

Poll weighs plan to replace traditional pension with 401(k) for new city hires
"I don't like this 401(k) business," she said. "I feel that's cheating employees where they won't know exactly what they're going to have at the end of their tenure at work because of the stock market."
William Clark, 69, a retired electronics engineer who lives in east San Diego, said he is opposed to 401(k) for similar reasons. He had a 401(k) set aside for retirement that he says has been worthless.
"I wouldn't want to do that to anybody else," he said. "I understand the current problem with how do you pay for it, but there's got to be other ways of doing it. Dumping the new people into a 401(k), it's playing Russian roulette with their retirement."
Gary Schumacher, 81, a retired businessman from University City, said he's frustrated when he hears about large pensions for city workers when the city can't fill potholes.
"I think the whole pension thing is out of control, and hopefully this will have some effect on it," he said.
The poll surveyed 404 registered voters and has a margin of error of 4.9 percent. Results from subsets of voters have a higher margin of error.
Of voters surveyed, 39 percent were Democrats, 31 percent Republicans and 30 percent independent/other, which roughly reflects the city of San Diego's voter registration.

Photoshop CS4 for Photographers is an essential course for any digital photographer who wants to master the software's vast array of image enhancement techniques. Professional photographer and instructor Chris Orwig uses his own compelling images to demonstrate how the power of Photoshop can make photographers more passionate about their work. He covers many aspects of the application, such as working with RAW images, using curves and levels, making images snap, and enhancing bland photographs by converting them to black and white. Exercise files accompany this course.
In this movie we will be working on the file getty.psd. Let's go ahead and double-click that one and open in Photoshop. F to go to Full Screen View mode and then Spacebar to reposition the image. Now a quick word of warning. In the next couple of movies we are going to learn about how to make path selections with the Pen tool. And these few movies are not for the faint of heart, because creating path selections can be actually quite tricky. Yet it's totally worth it, and here's why. This is the most advanced way to make a selection; this is the way that all the pros make their selections. So again, this stuff is really worthwhile to learn.
Well, in this movie all that I want to do initially in de-construct how we can begin to work with paths, and also talk about a few shortcuts. Okay, well first thing you need to do is select the Pen tool from the Tools panel; you can see it there, the shortcut key is P. Then you want to make sure you have the option to create what's called the path, not a shape layer. So click on this option here. The next thing that I'm going to do here is in this area up top I'm going to go ahead and click and drag, and that's one of the ways that you first start to create what's called a path. Now before we actually get into the path I want to de-construct a few things that we are seeing here and also talk about some shortcuts that we are definitely going to need.
All right, well for starters, we can see that I have this little square. I also have these two circles radiating out from that square. What is that square? Well, that's an anchor. What's this little circle out here? That's a little handle. We have a couple of shortcuts to move either the handle or the anchor. Now a handle is actually going to control our trajectory or the direction of the path. Now I know that doesn't make sense yet, but just stick with me for a second. So to move the handle, you think of like a handle on a bike that steers the bike, we want to press the Option key on a Mac/Alt key on a PC. Give me a new option, give me an alternative view. So you press that key and then we can click and reposition that handle. And we can do that to reposition either handle here.
Now the anchor, we are going to press the Command key on a Mac/Ctrl key on a PC, and then we can click and reposition that anchor that way and you can see that it's much more of a dominant move, because we are saying, hey, I command this! Or I'm a controlling person, lift the anchor! So again it's the Command key on a Mac/Ctrl key on a PC. Well, let's turn all of this off for a moment and let's talk a little bit more about paths. I'm going to press the Escape key to escape out of that one and create a new one so that we can begin to think about how this will work. What I'm going to do here is click and drag. Now when I click and drag one of things that I'll notice is that I'm pulling a handle off of this particular area. When I move over to the right and then click and drag down, we then notice that I have a new handle and I have these two handles in between my two anchor points.
Now the handles in between your anchor points are actually controlling the trajectory of this particular path, and there we can see we have a little bit of a bend path. So if I hold the Option key and I click to reposition the handle I can control one-half of that trajectory. I could even make an S out of this because this half of the trajectory is now going down. And you can think of the handle as the direction where the path is going towards. So in this case if I want it to go towards something very high up here, now the path is being pulled up to the top.
On the other hand I can control the other half and keep in mind the paths connected so it's not exactly half, but it is for the most part this portion of the path, I'm going to hold down the Option key here, and click and reposition this, again you can see that I'm controlling the shape of that curve as well as where that curve is actually bending. Now I can bring both of these down to create a little bit of an art there. Now if they are both at the same size and both about, straight up, we have this nice shape. Okay, well, so far so good we have seen how we can create the shape. We now have a trajectory or a handle pointing downward. What happens if I click-and-drag in this way? Well, because the trajectory was pointing downward my path then started to go down, if I wanted to go up I would just click and reposition, and then the other handle as well click and reposition. So in this case you can see that I'm starting to create a little bit of a scallop type of a shape. I'll go ahead and modify that even further.
One of the problems with this little shape that I'm creating is the second path is too big, and again, I'm just making that up just in order to illustrate how this works. If I hold down the Command key I can then reposition that anchor. So again keep in mind Option key for the handle, Command key for the anchor. You also notice when I activate or click on this anchor it then shows me the handles that are surrounding that one. When I go back over here it shows me that handles that are surrounding this anchor point. So again, to reactivate the handle points you can then click on the anchor with the Command key, and then click on the handles with the Option key.
Now you may be thinking, gosh, this is just absolutely crazy. I don't even see how I would actually use this or why I would actually use this. So I don't even know if I really want to use this. Well again, all I want to do in this movie is begin to talk a little bit about paths. And the only two things that you need to know about in this movie is that when you are working with paths there are two things: there is an anchor and there is a handle. You move the anchor by pressing the Command or Ctrl key, you move the handle by pressing the Option or the Alt key. All right, well, now that we know those things and we know just a little bit about paths, let's take a look at how one could use a path in order to create a selection and let's talk about why we would actually want to make a selection this way. And we will do that in the next movie working on this exact file, so go ahead and keep this one open.

Patriots lead AFC East, for now, with 4 games left
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The New England Patriots left little doubt. They are the class of the AFC East.
For now.
By Sunday night, Tom Brady's team knows it may be tied again with the New York Jets, the big-talking rivals they embarrassed with a 45-3 beating on Monday night.
"It was a big win," Brady said, "but it was one win. There are obviously many more big games for us here down the stretch, none bigger than Chicago this week. So, I think we've got to move on pretty quick."
The Patriots take their 10-2 record, tied with Atlanta for the NFL's best, on the road to face the NFC North-leading Bears (9-3) on Sunday. The Jets (9-3) have a much easier opponent, the Miami Dolphins (6-6), and will be at home.
"I'm sure," coach Bill Belichick said, "we haven't heard the last from them."
The Patriots heard plenty of cheers from their fans as New York's offense, defense and special teams struggled throughout the 42-point blowout, tied for the fifth biggest margin of victory in Patriots history. But focusing too much on the most recent game may be misguided.
Earlier this season, the Patriots won their fifth straight, 28-18 over the Minnesota Vikings. A week later, they were upset by the Cleveland Browns, who were 2-5 at the time, 34-14.
Fans wondered: What was wrong with their team? How did Brady have his worst completion percentage of the season against a mediocre defense? Why couldn't the Patriots stop Peyton Hillis, who rushed for a career-high 184 yards?
But the next game was a different story. The Patriots turned it around, beating the tough Pittsburgh Steelers 39-26 to start their current four-game win streak.
New England and New York play three of the same teams in the remaining four weeks. The Patriots follow the trip to Chicago by facing Green Bay at home, Buffalo on the road and Miami at home. The Jets follow the game with the Dolphins by playing at Pittsburgh and Chicago then at home against Buffalo.
"It's like 16 one-game seasons. So week to week, we look at the opponent," Patriots offensive play-caller and quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien said Tuesday. "As far as how efficient we've been and all those things, that's good, but ... we've got to put together a plan that's going to be good for Chicago, and let's see how efficient we are against them."
It would be tough to match their efficiency against the Jets.
Brady led the Patriots on scoring drives in their first four possessions for a 24-3 halftime lead. In the second half, he directed drives of 93 and 94 yards that ended with touchdown passes. He threw no interceptions for the seventh straight game and the Patriots didn't commit a turnover for the fourth consecutive game.
On defense, they intercepted three passes and held the Jets to 25-percent third-down efficiency. And they committed only one penalty for the second time in three games.
But typically, Belichick found some problems.
"We can all see from the film that there are still a lot of things that we can work on and do better," he said. "Some things turned out well that maybe weren't as great as they looked."

Can someone plz read my story....am really freakkkked out,guys....could plz help me...am loosing mental balance now!!!
I'm glad to hear he bounced... Worthless from the start! Sounds like you need a dose of reality, get the hell out of cyber space. You won't find it there.
Is that the one about your friend dying?
Unless you are medically ill or mentally ill you can only "lose your balance" if you allow your environment to control you. Have you no control over yourself? If someone wanted to hit you right now, would you let them? If someone wanted to take all your personal belongings right now, would you let them? No and it is because of control. You do have some you know but maybe you are too lazy to do for yourself in which case, have a nice trip. No one is responsible for you except you so get over yourself and maybe do something for someone who has a real serious problem like parapalegia or cancer and stop thinking about yourself so much.

Though critics balk at its success, Netflix continues to wow
Since its founding, Netflix (NFLX) has been hailed as an
industry changer and a fad. Critics attack its pay model and rapid
pace of growth as untenable, while supporters contend its streaming
service represents the future of media. Which side, though, is
The user base for Netflix has grown precipitously over the course of the past decade. During its first fiscal quarter this year, the company added 3.6 million users, boosting its audience to 23.6 million people - nearly the same as cable titan Comcast ( CMCSA ).
Still, critics of Netflix argue that user base growth will inevitably slow and that its $8 per month fee is far too low to sustain the high costs of securing licensing deals with content producers. In December, Time Warner (TWX) chief executive Jeffrey L. Bewkes made headlines when he belittled Netflix's burgeoning market clout.
"It's a little bit like, is the Albanian army going to take over the world?" Bewkes said during an interview. "I don't think so. At $8 to $10, it doesn't have the economics to support high-value programming."
However, Netflix has inked deals with a variety of content distributors like Miramax and CBS ( CBS ) this year alone, increasing the number of titles available in its already expansive instant streaming catalogue. Moreover, adhering to a low monthly pay model and aggressively growing its streaming library has proven successful thus far: A report released this week found that Netflix now accounts for 30 percent of all North American Internet traffic during peak usage times - a 10 percent surge from October 2010.
With an untapped global market still left for it to conquer, Netflix has plenty of room to grow. Further, throughout its history the company has swatted away concerns about its ability to compete against established industry titans simply by overtaking them.
Blockbuster was the first company to fall victim to Netflix. Is Comcast next?

I'ts not superstition
It's not superstition if the Klingon afterlife is real. Episodes from the series set this afterlife as real and canon so having missions in Gre'thor is real too. I just call it another dimension for that sci-fi feel. Having Klingon souls go there stretches science as we know it, but if it's canon then I guess we just accept that Klingons can and do go there.
It is true that these episodes don't really fit other KDF races. Of course a lot of dialogue doesn't really sound right coming out of the mouth of an Orion female or a Gorn or Nausicaan either, but I try to rationalize that by having "culture drift" from the Klingons to their client states. Once conquered, the Gorn tend to adopt Klingon speech and customs, for example.
I agree with the OP who thought we should then have a Gorn and Orion arc, etc. to flesh out those races too. It will take the Foundry to do that unless Cryptic decides to make new episodes featuring them later.

USA star Landon Donovan understands what is required from the team if they are to achieve qualification to the next phase of the World Cup.
The LA Galaxy forward knows the magnitude of the clash with Algeria in Pretoria on Wednesday and said the squad is preparing accordingly.
"We're obviously aware of what each result means. Clearly, if we lose we're done and if we win we're through," he said. "There are scenarios where if we tie we could still advance, but at this point our objective is very clear. It's to win the game and take all the other stuff out of the question, and that's our goal."
The US needed a win in their final group match in the 2006 tournament in Germany but failed to do so against Ghana and Donovan says the side is now better prepared for such a situation.
"I hadn't thought about comparisons to the Ghana game," he added. "Perhaps it is. I said earlier in the tournament that in the two World Cups I'd been a part of, we hadn't strung together three consecutive good results and good performances. I think this team has the experience and the ability to do that. We'll find out on Wednesday night, but I think we're as prepared as we can be for what's ahead of us on Wednesday."

She then took Selvam to Pune where he was taught to dress like a transgender and forced to beg in the streets of Pune. He earned around 400 daily, but Shanthi, the transgender who took him under her wing, took his monthly earnings and gave Selvam a bare minimum for food and clothes.
He was then taken to the house of Kuttima and forced to sign a document agreeing to a sex-change operation. The 'surgery' was done in Kadapa in Andhra Pradesh on November 27, 2007.

Customers filed in to pick up their prescriptions, but most came in to say goodbye.
It's been an emotional two weeks, said Pete Konicki, owner of Konicki Pharmacy on Main Street in Dupont.
After 28-and-a-half years, Konicki closed his doors on Friday, a victim of big medicine.
Shrinking reimbursements from the insurance companies and mail order prescriptions, Konicki said. They were the two biggest factors that did us in.
Konicki's was about as hometown as they come.
Besides medication, the two aisles of the store were filled toys and decorations and candy. The soda fountain was removed years ago and replaced with a greeting card aisle.
I met a lot of great people here, Konicki said. I made a lot of friends. It's humbling to know that these people still remember my dad. They still remember my uncle. They still remember the soda fountain that used to be right there, he added pointing to the Hallmarks.
The Konicki Pharmacy got its start down the street in Dupont when his uncle, John Konicki, opened up in 1932. It moved to its current location sometime in the 1940s or 1950s. John Konicki ran the business until he died in 1970. Anther pharmacy moved in for several years, but the building remained vacant for much of the time.
In 1984, Konicki graduated from Temple University School of Pharmacy and he and his father re-opened the business.
It's been a Dupont fixture ever since.
I never lost sight of the family angle, he said. I was very fortunate to have this opportunity. I never lost sight of that.
Some bigger pharmacies diversified to stay afloat.
They carved out little niches, he said. Some do high volume or compounding of medical equipment such as beds, walkers, commodes.
But he discussed the economics of independent retail pharmacy.
You've seen this happen before, he said. Redicka's up the street closed a few years ago. Burke's up in Scranton was over 100 years old and they closed. Crossroads Pharmacy (in Hanover Township). The list goes on and on.
But with Konicki's small store and location, he said his focus was prescriptions and quality customer service.
That's what I wanted to do, he said. I want every customer of mine to know that I took their prescription very seriously. That's what kept me here all these years.
He said he was much more comfortable when he stepped out from behind the counter and talked to his customers one-on-one, eye-to-eye.
That's the number one thing I'm going to miss about this, he said. The thousands of people I've helped.
He's spent the greater part of the past several weeks saying farewell.
It's very difficult for me, he said. I didn't get chance to say goodbye to everyone, but over the last two weeks I've tried. Anyone who came in the store, I've been personally thanking them.
He said he wants every customer to know how much he appreciated their business.
I'm thankful for their patronage and their trust in me, he said. I'm grateful they trusted me to be their pharmacist.
He said the Rite Aid, between Laurel Street and the Pittston ByPass in the Laurel Plaza, has obtained all the prescription data from his pharmacy.
At 52, Konicki is unsure of his future. He said pharmacist jobs are tougher and tougher to come by.
He said the influx of pharmacy graduates is high with six pharmacy schools across the state. Also, the chains are cutting back on 24-hour pharmacy service.
It's tough out there, he said.
For Konicki, it's always been a family affair.
His wife, Mary, and their sons David, 25, and Jimmy, 22, have supported him in good times and in bad. David is an engineer and Jimmy is in insurance sales.
His sons' Eagle Scout pictures hung prominently in the store.
His brother, John, occupies a dentist office in the same building.
His longtime worker Elaine Duzen, along with students and customers he considered part of his family.
This just isn't a pharmacy that's going away, he said. It's really a whole family.
When dealing with customers, he had one simple rule.
I wanted to get the customers in and out as quickly as possible, he said. The big chains want you to stay for 20 minutes, but I never bought into that.
If there was a mother with a sick baby with a prescription for an antibiotic, that mother got priority, even if there were three other people standing in line.
She was up all night with her sick baby and they're both exhausted, he said. The last thing she wants to do is spend time in a drug store. And second, there's the sick baby. All that mother wants to do is get that baby home and give him the medicine and make him well. That's how I operate.
A steady stream of customers stopped in to say goodbye.
Ceil Piechota wished Konicki well. The lifelong Dupont resident said she's been coming to Konicki's much of her life.
We'll miss you. Thank you. I wish you luck in the future, she said.
Alfred Lis of Dupont walked in and Konicki immediately asked him about his dog.
They chatted a bit.
Everything's going down and my bills are going up, he told Lis about the closing.
The men shook hands and Lis departed.
Konicki's is a piece of Dupont, he said. We're losing a piece of Dupont.

Few restaurants in history have achieved as much recognition in a few short years as Famous Dave's!

After 25 years of tastin' and cookin', Dave's barbeque just plain knocked the socks off his family and friends. That's when Dave decided he had to share. He wanted to give all the folks a chance to dig into the best barbeque ever. And in a place as down-home fun and frolicsome as the BBQ shacks and clubs he went a callin' on all those years.

Rs 50-cr grant to Calcutta University welcomed
Our Bureau
The proposed reduction in the subsidy is likely to affect the interest of the common people covered under the public distribution system.
Kolkata, March 1
The Budget has failed to work out any concrete proposal for reduction in unemployment through the production system in agriculture and industry. The proposal to de-reserve a large number of industries will have an adverse effect on small entrepreneurs, Dr Asim Dasgupta, Finance Minister of West Bengal, has said.
The proposed reduction in the subsidy is likely to affect the interest of the common people covered under the public distribution system. In Centre-State relations, although there is a projection of higher devolution next year, the actual devolution of States' share of central taxes has fallen in the current year from Rs 94,900 crore (budget estimate) to Rs 94,400 crore (revised estimate). No proposal for debt relief related to small-savings loans to the States has been mentioned, although this has been discussed in the National Development Council and urged by all States.
"We appreciate the special grant of Rs 50 crore for Calcutta University as well as the proposal for a deep sea port and the limited access expressway that will benefit West Bengal and the eastern region. In the sphere of education, an increase in the budgetary outlay, with an emphasis on elementary education, from Rs 19,100 crore to Rs 25,500 crore is welcome. We also welcome the increase in the budgetary outlay for public health."

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Ella
USES: This medication is used by women to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or birth control failure (such as a broken condom). This medication is an emergency contraceptive and should not be used as a regular form of birth control. It prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) and changing the womb and cervical mucus to make it more difficult for an egg to meet sperm (fertilization) or attach to the wall of the womb (implantation).
Using this medication will not stop an existing pregnancy or protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).
HOW TO USE: Take 1 tablet by mouth, with or without food, as soon as possible after unprotected sex. This medication works best when it is taken within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
If you vomit within 3 hours of taking this medication, contact your doctor to discuss whether you need to repeat the dose.
The amount and timing of your period may be irregular after taking this medication. Tell your doctor immediately if your period is more than 7 days late. You may need to take a pregnancy test.
Because you can become pregnant soon after treatment with ulipristal, you should continue using your regular method of birth control immediately. Ulipristal may make other hormonal birth control less effective. Using a barrier-type birth control (such as condoms, diaphragm) is recommended every time you have sex during the same menstrual cycle that you took ulipristal.

Top fantasy baseball surprises
I like to think I know a bit about the game, but by this time each and every year, many of my predictions are proven inaccurate, to say the least. I try my best to provide my readers the insight they deserve, but baseball is a game that humbles 100 percent of writers and analysts that pontificate upon it. That said, I'm a pretty stubborn guy overall, and I'm still having a hard time grasping some of the performances that we've seen so far. I'm also having a difficult time grasping why some players are still in the roles that they are, and others are not. Let's look at a handful of both types of situations, shall we?
James Loney, above average offensive first baseman
Yes, that is the sound of Dodgers fans everywhere wondering "Where was THIS all those years?" Loney ranks fourth in the league among first baseman with a 2.1 WAR, and though some of that derives from his above average defense, he's also batting .327/.387/.519. Loney has already eclipsed last year's HR total (six) by two in half the at-bats, and he's on pace to blow past his career-high 15. Loney continues to boast well above average contact ability with an 11.3-percent K rate, and his walk rate is up a bit this year as well. Since Loney's first full season in 2008, he hasn't posted a HR/FB rate above 7.3 percent, but this year it sits at 13.3 percent, as some of those line drives are finding the seats this time around. He's also hitting .370 versus southpaws after last year's .217 mark. Is there any explanation that makes sense other than Loney simply being the Rays' annual "pull this guy off the trash heap and watch him be an All-Star" pickup? The parallels to Casey Kotchman's 2011 season for the Rays are obvious.
I think Loney's success boils down to a couple things:
The realization that his career is at a crossroads - I lean toward analytics in breaking down players, but can we completely discount the human element here? Loney may have felt crushed by the weight of high expectations as a first-round pick and top prospect in LA, but now that those expectations were quite a bit lower, he's thriving. He's also on a one-year deal, and many think he was lucky to even get guaranteed money coming off a season in which he batted a paltry .249/.293/.336. Another season resembling that in 2013, and Loney is probably off to Japan.
Swinging at fewer bad pitches - Loney is chasing fewer pitches outside the zone, and when he does swing, he's swinging and missing a full percentage point less than prior years. He looks like a different player at the plate, and for the Rays and Loney's fantasy owners, that's a very good thing. I'll be conservative here and predict that he winds up .300/.360/.480 with 20 home runs.
Brandon League, closer
League was finally replaced as Dodgers closer with superior pitcher Kenley Jansen taking over the ninth-inning job . It's not League's fault really. He's simply not suited to pitching in the late innings, something manager Don Mattingly probably should have picked up on by now. League has yet to go more than three appearances without allowing a run this season, he's blown four saves and has seen his K/9 rate tank from 6.8 to 4.8. That said, his GB% is solid at 56.1 percent, and he minimizes free passes to the tune of a 2.6 BB/9, so shifting him to the middle innings probably yields much better results for the Dodgers. His 4.29 xFIP compares favorably to last year's 3.99, so taking that late-inning pressure out of the equation is probably best for both parties.
What reason there was to even began the year with League as closer is a mystery. Yeah, I can also think of 22.5 million reasons (League's ill-advised three-year deal), but Jansen is a top-10 level closer. He has elite strikeout potential, and he's done a great job driving down his walk rate the last couple years:
2012: 3.1
2013: 1.7
Look for Jansen to keep the job the rest of the season. Now to see whether the Dodgers can actually provide him with save opportunities.
Wil Myers, still in Triple-A
Conflicting reports have Myers being promoted this week, next week, later this year, etc., but it's pretty clear that his time is coming. We don't have a definitive date for when the Rays don't have to concern themselves with a Super-Two arbitration situation, so look for them to be conservative and wait another week or more. Myers is batting .283/.359/.506 for Triple-A Durham, but he's really picked things up recently, batting .357 with three home runs in his last 10 games. He's not likely to come in and be the East Coast version of Yasiel Puig, but Myers can be the team's second-best hitter the rest of the way. He's now had more than 600 at-bats at the Triple-A level, and though he's fanned in 26.6 percent of them, Myers draw walks and has homered once every 17.3 at-bats. The fallout of a Myers promotion to Tampa Bay would likely look like this:
Ben Zobrist (nine hits in his last three games) gets most of the 2B starts
Myers slots into right field
Kelly Johnson is the DH most days
Luke Scott and his .188/.270/.288 slash line hits the waiver wire
If you're looking for reasonable expectations for Myers the rest of the year, I'd venture this: .265/.335/.440 with 12-15 home runs and 50-60 RBI.
Miguel Montero, formerly good catcher
This one is a bit of a mystery. Montero has posted OPS totals of .820 and .829 the last two seasons, but this year through Monday's action, he's hitting an anemic .208/.292/.287 with just three home runs. His walk and strikeout rates aren't alarming by any means:
Nothing too alarming, right? We can say that a portion of the batting average issue relates to Montero's .253 BABIP, but what about the .079 ISO? Where's the power? Part of it is a 48.4-percent GB rate, a mark that is nearly seven points above Montero's career average, and when he does get the ball in the air, only 5.9 percent of those balls have gone over the wall; that number should start to creep up. Montero is hitting .286 over his last nine games, and he logged six XBH in May versus three in April, so perhaps we can interpret those as positive signs. It hasn't been a good year for catchers with the last name Montero, but I'd put my money on Miguel over Jesus the rest of the way.
Clay Buchholz, ace starter?
RotoWire projected Buchholz for a 3.91 ERA and 6.2 K/9, but through 12 starts, he's at 1.71 and 8.6 K/9. So has there been a change in approach or a noticeable improvement in his underlying skillset?
The first thing that jumps out is his well-below normal 3.2-percent HR/FB rate. Buchholz's batted ball data hasn't changed noticeably, so is he just getting lucky on flyballs now or is he perhaps inducing weaker-hit flyballs? A 3.24 xFIP says there's been a bit of luck involved, but Buchholz is also shown great improvement with his cut baseball. It's a pitch he's using more frequently this year versus last (22.6% vs. 20.5%), and he's taken 1.6 mph off the pitch on average, putting more distance in velocity between that pitch and his standard fastball.
So can he keep this up? If healthy, I think so, but Buchholz has yet to make 30 starts in a season, and he's already dealing with a neck injury that while doesn't appear serious, highlights the fact that he has had more than his share of injuries. I don't see him having a long career as an ace-level pitcher along the lines of a Roy Halladay, but the stuff is certainly there for him to be a solid No. 2.
Brendan Ryan, STARTING shortstop?
Ryan is one of the best defenders in the game at his position, though it's tough to get noticed when you have to compete against the greatness that is Derek Jeter's glove. It's clear, though, that Ryan is in the lineup simply for that glove, as he's a career .242 hitter with no power. One of the more interesting metrics on Ryan is his HR/FB rate. Typically this averages about 11 percent league-wide each year, but Ryan's marks the last six seasons have been remarkably low: 0, 3, 1.5, 2.4 and 2.4 percent, and this year a whopping 4.1 percent. Ryan strikes out a reasonable 20.2 percent of the time, but with no pop whatsoever, he needs to be making contact at a rate approaching 90 percent.
So what do the Mariners do here? Perhaps sink or swim with a middle infield of Dustin Ackley at second and Nick Franklin at shortstop. Since hitting .205 and being sent to Triple-A, Ackley is batting .423/.531/.615 in 52 at-bats. His K:BB is a stellar 7:12, and he's shown some pop with a pair of home runs. Time to give him another shot. If the Mariners are going to promote a Triple-A catcher hitting .235, they would at least consider bringing back a prospect batting .423. It's the Mariners, though, so all bets should be off.
Matt Dominguez, power hitter
Dominguez entered Sunday's action batting a paltry .233/.256/.399, but he also finished May with eight home runs and a .221 ISO. Dominguez has walked in just 2.6 percent of his PA, and though he's fanned in a reasonable 15 percent of his PA, Dominguez has yet to exhibit any sort of plate discipline. He's also not fared well with advanced fielding metric, including UZR/150, so it's really the home runs that keeps Dominguez in the lineup. There's that and the fact the Astros don't have a third baseman in the organization ready to replace Dominguez as an everyday player. Amazingly, Dominguez has drawn just once walk since April 29, but again, the lack of competition should keep Dominguez relevant in NL-only formats despite the lack of contact ability.

Nate McLouth, relevant again?
At the big league level the last three years, McLouth has posted batting averages of .190, .228 and .241 - so hey, he's trending up. This year, McLouth has returned to fantasy relevance, batting .286/.365/.413 with four home runs and a whopping 22 stolen bases. McLouth has always had a solid batting eye, and this year his BB% sits at 10.7 percent, but he's made remarkable progress in his contact ability, posting a 10.7-percent K rate as well, compared to a 16.9-percent career mark and a 20.5-percent rate in 2012. McLouth must have had Ted Williams type corneas implanted this offseason, as the eye at the plate has improved markedly over last year:
Swinging strike %: A miniscule 2.8 percent versus last year's 6.3 percent.
O-swing%: He's swinging at just 19.3 percent of pitches outside the strike zone versus last year's 25.3 percent.
He's also taking more pitches and when the opposing pitcher does throw strikes, he's making solid contact. Remember, McLouth should still be in his prime at age 31, and this is a guy with an .856 OPS season on his resume that included 26 homers and 23 steals. Perhaps his demise has been greatly exaggerated.
Jean Segura, 2014 second-round pick?
Segura has to be my choice for breakout fantasy star this season. Someone asked me recently what I expect from Segura, and outside of Troy Tulowitzki, I could not name a shortstop I would rather have. He's young, has a solid prospect pedigree and is batting .340/.373/.538. It's the nine home runs and 19 steals combined with the average that make Segura a fantasy stud, especially given his draft position this spring. Another thing that jumps out related to Segura is his 4.2-percent walk rate, so he's a hacker. He's also striking out in just 11.7 percent of his PA, and when a player who runs like Segura can makes that sort of contact, good things generally happen. Segura's nine homers are pretty remarkable considering he hits the ball into the ground more often than not - 57.7-percent GB rate. However, when he does get it in the air, Segura has shown an ability to hit it a long way. He's likely positioning himself to be a top-20 fantasy pick in 2014.
The Padres - full of offensive talent
We know Petco Park has generally been death to hitters, especially power guys, but the Friars have put forth a handful of intriguing hitters this season.
Kyle Blanks - Blanks still isn't guaranteed regular playing time, but with six home runs and a team-leading .895 OPS in 117 at-bats, it's going to be tough to sit him0. If Blanks can overcome the injury-prone label, his upside is rather high.
Jedd Gyorko - Gyorko has had his ups and downs, but at .284/.341/.461, he's been solid offensively. It's hard to find players with 25-homer potential at second base, but Gyorko has that.
Everth Cabrera - Cabrera has been fantasy relevant a couple years thanks to his wheels, but in addition to the 29 steals this year, Cabrera has hit a surprising .293 with four home runs. That's top-five shortstop material.
Mix in potential above-average offense at first base (Yonder Alonso) and catcher (Yasmani Grandal), and you have a pretty nice young core.

The Intervention Blues
Perhaps one of the most fatuous theories ever promulgated was Francis Fukuyama's "End of History," put forth just as, in most parts of the world, history resumed its sanguinary progress as soon as the cold war ended. Equally bad was Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" postulate, an attempt to find a Communist threat in another guise to give shape to our worldview.
Despite such failures of metahistorical analysis, one can't help wishing that William Shawcross had more of an over-arching vision to hold together the gloomy sprawl of his new book, Deliver Us From Evil. Is this a book about the conflicts? Is it about the successes and failures of the United Nations? Does it show how, having sown the seeds of war across the world for decades, the great powers have now left them to grow unchecked and untended? Shawcross touches on all these questions but never truly provides an answer to any of them.
Shawcross, a journalist perhaps best known for his 1979 work on the secret US bombing of Cambodia, Sideshow, had unparalleled access to the UN and its senior officials for his research. The scuttlebutt there was that he was writing a biography of Secretary General Kofi Annan--which would have yielded a much more focused book. As it is, Deliver Us From Evil finds Shawcross forever in the air with the Secretary General, jetting or, more modestly, propelling from crisis to crisis. Yet access is a mixed blessing for a journalist; proximity often breeds too much contentment with the subjects, who in this book are mostly UN officials. And while it is true that those officials are often needlessly and even unjustly vilified, still, their works merit closer scrutiny and occasionally harsher criticism than they get here. Shawcross also suffers from the dilemma Milton found in Paradise Lost: The bad guys are commonly much more interesting than his heroes, many of whom are not exactly acting in the heroic mode when we see them.
"What are the particular problems faced by a Japanese UN official in the Balkans, a Canadian General caught in genocide in Rwanda?" Shawcross asks rhetorically near the beginning, adding, "I hope this book shows in some part how difficult, if not impossible, their decisions are, faced with the conflicting demands of politicians at home, members of the Security Council, generals on the ground and the evil which they attempt to face down."
Yet it seems inappropriate, indeed almost sacrilegious, to put Yasushi Akashi, the Japanese UN official alluded to, in the same sentence as Gen. Roméo Dallaire. The former was in charge of the UN abandonment of Srebrenica, whereas General Dallaire, as commander of the UN forces in Kigali, had information about the impending genocide in Rwanda and was ordered by UN headquarters officials--ones cast in the Akashi mold, in fact--to take no action, apart from alerting the Rwandan government that its plot had been revealed!
General Dallaire, one of the truly tragic figures of this age, tried to save as many people as possible with the few poorly supplied troops left to him. Shawcross quotes him: "Dying in Rwanda without sign or sight of relief was a reality we faced on a daily basis." Unsurprisingly, the experience left him suicidal and depressed when he returned to Canada. No such feelings were reported from the UN headquarters staff or from Secretary of State Madeleine Albright or President Bill Clinton, who bear primary responsibility for abandoning the UN peacekeepers and the Tutsis to their fate by refusing to allow reinforcement or resupply for them, which resulted in an estimated 800,000 dead.
Certainly, no one associated with events in the former Yugoslavia noticed any excess of remorse from Yasushi Akashi, who continually argued for appeasement of the Serbs and resisted any effective measures suggested against them, no matter what the provocation. When such policies produced the massacre at Srebrenica, Kofi Annan, then Under Secretary General for Peacekeeping, had to write to Akashi to ask for a report on the thousands of Bosnians who were being reported missing by other sources. Shawcross's report on one of Akashi's missives typifies the response: "Rather than make an outcry, he suggested that in view of the vulnerable position of the observers, the reports be kept confidential." Around the same time, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Rohde, Akashi was at a hunting lodge near Belgrade with Slobodan Milosevic, quipping about "a safe area for animals."
Akashi was, of course, merely reflecting the peculiar UN Secretariat ethos, typified by a private UN memorandum on Bosnia that Shawcross quotes: "There are always two sides to any argument." Inadvertently, Shawcross reveals what that meant when he describes a visit to Belgrade with Annan in 1996. Annan, who had taken over from Akashi, carried a million-dollar check from the UN to compensate the Yugoslav Army for damage French peacekeepers had allegedly caused to a Yugoslav barracks!
Somehow, Shawcross is not as shocked as he should be by this Alice-in-Wonderland scenario. The UN General Assembly had booted Yugoslavia out of its ranks. Belgrade had been condemned in more than 150 resolutions for the wars it started, in the course of which perhaps as many as 200,000 people were killed, of which 210 were UN staff, and during which its surrogates took UN peacekeepers hostage, shackling them to potential targets. And the UN's legal department had negotiated compensation to the perpetrators!
