In the first inning of the Rays' 7-1 win over the Blue Jays, pitcher Jeff Niemann took a liner off his leg. No big deal right? Pitchers take liners off their legs all the time. They get a bruise here and there, but they usually fight through the pain. But when a liner fractures your leg, you usually can't fight through that type of pain. Niemann did, at least for the rest of the inning. Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Jeff Niemann is expected to miss four to six weeks after fracturing his right leg during Monday night's 7-1 win over Toronto. Niemann was struck on the ankle by Adam Lind's drive with runners at first and second in the first inning. He recovered to make the out, but walked gingerly around the mound and was checked by the trainer before finishing the inning. Niemann came out and warmed up to start the second, but was removed after a conference on the mound with the trainer and manager Joe Maddon. Left-hander Cesar Ramos came on and earned the win while Niemann went...

"These thank yous are just adorable. I actually bought a different design than I had for the shower invites (same "jungle" theme) because these were just a cuter card than what matched my invites. I love them, they're cheerful and neutral (great for those of us who aren't figuring out boy or girl!). Cards are a good weight and the process was nice and easy."
"I like writing short and to the point thank you notes and this size was perfect. The design is adorable and the card quality is perfect for a thank you note. You are able to write a good amount without leaving so much blank space which is nice."
"This matches the chalkboard buggy baby invitations perfectly. It is so simple, yet chic. I love these; the paper is a nice thick quality. I got these for the mother to be, so she would have matching thank you cards after the shower."
"I chose this thank you note to coordinate with the Twinkle, Twinkle little star baby shower invitation that we ordered for my daughter's baby shower. Like the invitation, the card is not quite as glittery as I might have wanted even with the pearlized paper, but the website already tells you that so there is no real surprise there, and the paper quality is outstanding! I did find it better to choose white ink for printing the personalization, which is an offered option, so that made it a little brighter. Overall, I just loved the design and am really pleased with the quality of this product as well as the customer service offered by this company."
"I was looking for a twins-themed thank you card to use for my baby shower gifts. This design was great b/c it is gender neutral (mine are boy/girl) and also appropriate for my couples shower (i.e., not too girly). I customized the text to say "Thank You" instead of having my name. It just seemed to make more sense. I also changed the font since the default suggestion seemed a little bit passe. The finished product is clean, simple, and cute! One nit-picky suggestion was that I would have liked the option to extend the yellow border or design to the back of the card. I did not have the perfect photo(s) to use in that space, but hated to leave it entirely blank."

I pried out the plastic cover on the front of the timer knob using the head of a nail. The timer knob was held on by a nut which I removed. After removing the timer knob and associated parts I removed the two screws holding on the dryer timer. I then removed four screws on the top of the dryer (two on each side). I tilted the control panel forward to expose the dryer timer. The new timer looked different than the timer in the dryer but I followed the color code on the contacts to move the wires from the old timer to the new timer. I put everything back together and the dryer works great.

Big night for cable TV in Globes
Jay Roach, executive producer of the show, said Moore was brave to take on the role of a political polarizing figure in the film, which balances her appeal as a sudden national figure and the chaos backstage in the campaign.
"Now with you and Tina Fey, we have three of the most incredible impersonations of Sarah Palin," Roach said, "counting Sarah Palin."
Moore made it a point to thank Fey, Sunday's Golden Globes co-host known whose indelible Palin skits on "Saturday Night Live" enlivened the 2008 campaign, and newswoman Katie Couric, who had a contentious interview with Palin that year. She did not thank Palin. Harris did not attend the Golden Globes.
Makers of "Game Change" said they attempted to build a balanced portrait of Palin, and Moore said backstage Sunday that it was not a character assassination. Although Palin aides criticized the depiction, the former Alaska governor told ABC News that the film did not matter to her.
"One of the things I found in my research is that she's an incredibly devoted parent and cares very much about what she does," Moore said. "The conclusion I drew was she was simply unprepared for the vice presidency."
Kevin Costner won the Globe for best acting in a TV miniseries or movie for "Hatfields & McCoys." The History channel miniseries proved a big hit when it aired last spring. Costner, who won a Globe for directing "Dances With Wolves" in 1991, nostalgically recalled walking into the awards ceremony as a young actor.
Veteran actress Maggie Smith, who plays Violet Crawley, the Countess of Grantham in the PBS period piece "Downton Abbey," won as best supporting actress in a TV series.

Like us on Facebook
Jennifer Lopez showed off her bikini body holding Emme at her hotel and later on Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana's yacht over the weekend. She and Marc Anthony continued to live it up on their luxurious Italian vacation with the twins, this time stepping onto their friend's amazing boat. Jennifer looked hot in her suit and during stops off in Rome, Capri, Ischia and more. There was time for shopping on the islands with breaks for gelato as well as sunbathing and champagne with their family and friends. Jennifer kicked off the vacation with a little work, but after that it was all about vacation on their annual yachting trip in Italy.

WELL.She looks great in her bathing suit. I am a mom of twins too. I would like to look like her in swimming suit.Anyway, most of her appearance is thanks to hard exercise, I think. She is very sexy and attractive, no matter the age of 40.It would be a pitty to tell the opposite.

It really annoys me when people complain about celebs doing charity work. How much darn money do you give away?Who cares about why they're doing it. The fact is the charity is getting their money and people should be happy to hear it. Stop looking for reasons to hate.

Actually I don't like the bikini at all myself and I don't think she looks that hot in it to be honest. Her skin colour is ugly and she looks pretty plain when she is not covered up and all dolled up with the help of her entourage. Does anyone out there have the same opinion as me?

RE: Angelina comments, she is the Ambassador for the UNHCR. It's a major position, not "volunteer work". Her schedule is published, as her work brings attention to the refugees & causes she's visiting to the world. It is a job she's held for a decade now. That's how we ALL know she was in Iraq last week w/Maddox. And she's not "taking her kids to war" they don't see war (lol). They help refugees globally. As well as our U.S. troops. JLo is who she is. She owns being a diva! To compare the two is insane. Even Marc A said on Leno "everyday is my wife's birthday, it's ridiculous." It's how JLo lives her life. Angelina's life is about helping others...she famously can't even sit still in a make-up chair, she hates it, she'd rather fly planes and helicopters. These are very different, yet very gorgeous, fabulous moms.

The Continuing Retirement Savings Crisis
Nari Rhee and Ilana Boivie
March 1, 2015
With the Baby Boom generation beginning to retire, more emphasis has recently focused on Americans' financial security in retirement. Most recent studies show that many Americans are ill-prepared for retirement, and that they are highly anxious about their ability to retire. The financial crisis of 2007-2008 was a huge setback for households. Since then, the combined value of 401(k) accounts and IRAs increased to a record high of $11.3 trillion at the end of 2013. Does this translate to improved retirement security for average American households? Unfortunately, the answer is no: the typical American household was further behind in retirement readiness in 2013 than in 2010 and 2007.
This report, an update of a previous NIRS report published in 2013, examines the readiness of working-age households, based primarily on an analysis of the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The study analyzes workplace retirement plan coverage, retirement account ownership, and household retirement savings as a percentage of income, and estimates the share of working families that meet financial industry recommended benchmarks for retirement savings.The Proposed Minimum Wage Law for Los Angeles: Economic Impacts and Policy Options
By Michael Reich, Ken Jacobs, Annette Bernhardt and Ian Perry
March 20, 2015
The Los Angeles City Council is considering a citywide minimum wage increase to $13.25 by 2017 and $15.25 by 2019, followed by annual increases indexed to inflation. In this prospective study, we assess the economic impact of the proposal on workers, businesses and the city's economy, and analyze a range of policy design options.
Our findings are based on a mid-range scenario for future wage and inflation growth in Los Angeles. If actual economic growth turns out to be stronger or weaker than in this scenario, our assessment would change accordingly.
Health Insurance and Demographics of California Immigrants Eligible for Deferred Action
By Laurel Lucia, Xiao Chen, Ken Jacobs and Nadereh Pourat
March 26, 2015
Between 360,000 and 500,000 immigrants living in California would become eligible for Medi-Cal if they receive temporary protection from deportation and permission to work as a result of recent executive actions by President Barack Obama. Up to 57 percent of immigrants in California who are eligible under the executive actions are low income and lack private health insurance, according to a study by UC Berkeley's Center for Labor Research and Education and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

Ai-Jen Poo: The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America
Hosted by Mitch Jeserich & Angela Glover Blackwell
Sunday, April 26, 7:30 PM
Sponsored by KPFA Radio 94.1FM, with co-sponsors UC Berkeley Labor Center, Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, California Domestic Workers Coalition, Caring Across Generations, Hand in Hand, Mujeres Unidas y Activas, National Domestic Workers Alliance, and PolicyLink.
MacArthur Genius Award winner Ai-Jen Poo, Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Co-Director of the Caring Across Generations campaign, one of Newsweek's 150 Fearless Women, one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World, and a 2013 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader offers fresh answers in her powerful new book, The Age of Dignity.
We have more seniors in America today than at any time in history, and every day more than ten-thousand people turn 65! By 2018, demand for home health care will increase by more than 90%. As a student volunteer working with immigrant women on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Ai-Jen Poo saw every day just how little we value the largely female, often undocumented caregiving population. As a daughter and granddaughter, she saw exactly how crucial they had been in her own family. Interweaving her own personal stories with those of seniors and their lifelines, The Age of Dignity provides many surprisingly positive solutions to some of our most serious problems. She outlines a roadmap to our becoming a more caring nation, while addressing our fraying social net and the limited opportunities for women and immigrants in the workforce.

California Public Employee Relations
Just published this month…the fourth edition of Pocket Guide to Public Sector Arbitration: California, a readable yet comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about public sector arbitration. This edition is expanded, updated and more "user friendly" for both advocates and arbitrators.
Updated with the latest court decisions and statutes, the guide explains the procedures and principles that apply to both grievance arbitration and interest arbitration, including the standards that guide arbitrators in deciding cases. It also examines the courts' treatment of final and binding arbitration.
The fourth edition looks at arbitrators, themselves — their backgrounds, how they gain admission to rosters of arbitration agencies, constraints on their authority, and how parties make a selection. There is an expanded discussion of the history and legal development of arbitration, from its private sector origins in the 1940s through its California public sector acceptance since the 1960s. Included for convenient reference are the text of the California Arbitration Act, a list of the many court cases that are addressed in the text and in footnotes, and a bibliography of leading reference books.
Just published in March…a new edition of Pocket Guide to Public Sector Mediation in California. Mediation continues to be a successful method for resolving labor disputes for public sector employees in California. The guide discusses the various aspects of the mediation process as it applies to public agencies and employees throughout the state. Because the process differs among public employees depending on the governing statute, this guide outlines those differences and explains how the process typically works.
Useful for both the beginning practitioner and the seasoned professional, the guide covers the types of mediation, levels of involvement, and the importance of confidentiality. Included are the relevant statutory language of each act, important cases, selected references, and a glossary of terms.
Watch for announcements later this year about new editions of guides covering the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), disability discrimination, and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
CPER sends an announcement when each new title or edition is published. To be put on the list, please send your email address to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment (CSCCE) has been awarded a three-year grant from the Foundation for Child Development for the State of the Early Childhood Workforce project.
The biennial State of the Early Childhood Workforce report will provide state-by-state early childhood job indicators linked with quality improvement and better outcomes for children. Its purpose is to sustain a focus on the ECE workforce in public discourse and to assist advocates in framing measurable policy goals. A national advisory council will help to identify indicators to serve as key policy levers for improving ECE jobs. Examples of indicators include Bureau of Labor and Census wage rankings of child care and preschool jobs compared to other occupations, changes in earnings over time; and a comparison of public pre-K to K-12 teacher and other compensation-related policy. The population of focus is the nearly two-million members of the ECE workforce, primarily women, many of color, who earn low wages. Our intent is to generate actionable policy to reverse the entrenched inequity and irrationality in the current ECE system that shortchanges children, families and their teachers.
Job Opportunities
The Center for the Study of Child Care Employment, University of California, Berkeley is seeking applications from qualified individuals for the position of Research Coordinator. The position will manage all aspects of the early care and education research projects conducted at the Center, such as monitoring sponsored research applications and reporting requirements, coordinating Human Subjects protocol applications, coordinating data collection, and tracking research project budgets. The position will also perform complex research tasks, in conjunction with academic supervisors, making significant, original contributions to research methods. This includes co-authorship of published findings.

Gee, and I thought that this thread was about some really bad Mexican food that you had eaten!
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Well I did have Qdoba for lunch, but that is another matter altogether.
Do I have permission to use the word "pwned" here?

Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
The goalie, to her credit, had 50 something saves. The problem was she faced 130 or so shots.
I thought the thread was going to be about the hairstyle that is common in the New York/New Jersey area.
Looks like these women have quite a bit to work on.

My name is Bella and I'm a stay at home, homeschool mom to a beautiful little ballerina. I love crafting and creating useful items for everyday living. Whether it be crafting, crochet or repurposing "old" items and breathing into them new life, I will always be found with several projects going at any one time. I am very passionate about environmental consciousnesses. I believe we all have a responsibility in considering the environment while we live out our lives. Handmade and homemade are staples in my house, my husband and I try to make as much as we can ourselves before heading out to the store. Its been a fun learning process along the way. :)
Life for me is busy, busy, busy, but I enjoy every minute and hope my experiences and ideas can help inspire the creative bug in many others.

What we got was very little in the way actual policy prescriptions beyond what we've already heard, the usual lies, and a few "real people" example to provide the lipstick part of this new, family-friendly part of this farce.
Lies first:
President Obama's health care law resulted in higher premiums and costs for families, and has made access to quality health care and innovation tougher. If we want to reverse this trend, we should start by choosing to repeal the new taxes that are increasing the costs of health care and health insurance, like the medical device tax.That's very truthy of him. Actually, the medical device tax doesn't really have anything to do with health insurance premiums nor to costs to families, because it doesn't apply to the kind of devices people themselves buy: eyeglasses, contact lenses, hearing aids. And in real life, Obamacare has very little to do with rising insurance premiums.
Follow along below the fold for the sleight of hand on Medicare and Medicaid part of the show.
Here's where Cantor gets all compassionate conservative.
Many families, like mine, are dealing with the challenges presented by aging and very sick parents. They rely on Medicare for relief. In 1965 the federal government created Medicare modeled after the standard Blue-Cross Blue Shield insurance plan commonly available at that time. In the past 50 years both health care and health insurance have changed dramatically, but the government and Medicare have not kept pace."Modernizing Medicare" is of course the voucher program. He's dressing it up it by saying that it would end "the arbitrary division between Part A, the hospital program, and Part B, the doctor services" and be less confusing for people. What he's not saying, of course, is that the Medicare voucher plan would simply shift more out-of-pocket costs to seniors, costs that would grow over time as the vouchers' value continued to shrink. Cost-shifting is also precisely what the GOP agenda for Medicaid, block-granting it, would do. The massive cuts called for in Paul Ryan's budgets, coupled with the block grant, would force states to have to pick up a increasing share of the costs.
Medicaid isn't doing any better. Under the Medicaid system the rules are set in Washington, but much of the bills are paid in our state capitals. Collectively states are spending more on Medicaid than they do on K-12 education. And states don't have the flexibility to innovate in order to lower costs and provide better care. [...]
We can modernize Medicare so it isn't so complicated for seniors or health care providers and make it easier for them to get the care they need in a cost effective manner. [...]
We can provide states more flexibility with respect to Medicaid that will allow them to provide better care for low-income families in a way that ultimately lowers costs. Options for states should include streamlining the process for determining eligibility, and allowing them to offer health coverage through patient-directed health care or flexible benefit programs. And we must make it faster and simpler for states to gain approval of federal waivers to modify their Medicaid programs.
There actually was nothing new in any of Cantor's proposals on health care, because there isn't anything new in the Republicans' proposals. It's a retread of Ryan's ideas that were so soundly rejected in 2012. Cantor just made sure not to use terms like "voucher" and "block grant" in describing them. He didn't even use a different shade of lipstick this time around, just a bigger trowel.

RWE and E.ON want to focus on their core utility businesses, while Shell and BP want to shore up their position in the consolidating German fuel retail market. However, the cartel office will block both deals unless the companies make major concessions. These are likely to be so major that they destroy the logic for the deals, leaving everyone back at square one.
The regulator will make the companies dispose of some of their service station sites, and will also force BP to cut its stake in the Bayernoil refinery. The deal is still likely to be worthwhile for the oil majors. It could also be good news for OMV and Lukoil, who are the frontrunners to buy the refining assets and further their positions in Germany.
While there are many bidders for BP's surplus German oil businesses, Yukos is one of the frontrunners to purchase the 650 service stations and 45% share in a refinery. Yukos has earmarked $2 billion towards improving its position in western European refining and retailing. Alongside fellow Russian firm Lukoil, Yukos is definitely a company to watch.
The fight is definitely on in German fuel retailing. Three Russian companies plus Austria's OMV aim to buy BP's sites, while TotalFinaElf is looking at acquiring sites from Shell/DEA. While the winner will gain a much-needed foothold in the market, they are likely to get the least profitable service stations. The winning bidder will be left with further challenges ahead.<BR />
While many companies have window shopped in Germany, few are reaching for their check books to buy BP's 800 sites and 45% stake in the Bayernoil refinery. Finding a buyer is imperative for BP to meet antitrust rulings should the company fail to find an acquisitor, it may have to consider repackaging the assets or, in the worst-case scenario, closing sites.

When sophomores John and Lorraine played a practical joke a few months ago on a stranger named Angelo Pignati, they had no idea what they were starting. Virtually overnight, almost against their will, the two befriended the lonely old man; it wasn't long before they were more comfortable in his house than their own. But now Mr. Pignati is dead. And for John and Lorraine, the only way to find peace is to write down their friend's story -- the story of the Pigman.

From school dropout to Academy Award winner
Animator Nickson Fong's passion for film puts him on road to Hollywood
Published on Jan 24, 2013 12:07 PM
WHEN animator Nickson Fong becomes the first Singaporean to pick up an Academy Award next month, he can look back with pride to the moment that inspiration struck.
He had been working on visual effects for the movie Godzilla in 1998 in the wee hours of one morning when he took a seemingly uninteresting algorithm - or formula - that a recent college graduate used to bend cylinders and applied it to muscle joints and facial expressions.
The technique - dubbed Pose Space Deformation - allowed for more life-like movements and subtle nuances in facial expressions.
It was a game-changer in the film industry. Hollywood blockbusters like Spiderman, Avatar and The Lord Of The Rings all used it for their 3-D characters.
Fifteen years later, Mr Fong, 43, will receive the Technical Achievement Award as part of a three-man international team.

E-waste is everywhere, being shipped around the world via a toxic constellation of governments and multi-national corporations. Project Project will challenge the economies of e-waste and media art by crafting video projectors and video pieces from discarded electronics and media scavenged by the artist around the world. Due to their hacked, "DIY" nature, each projector will have output quirks that present compelling parameters for their associated media pieces. Christensen will develop video and animation pieces using found footage from discarded media sources and imagery gathered from the e-wasted landscapes encountered on her journeys.

A note from the editor
New Product Development is at the core of any manufacturing organization. To remain sustainable and competitive, companies are pressured by top management, customers and competitors to continuously develop new products with the aim to capture new market shares.
It is clear from delegate feedback at our previous events that there is a common end goal (shortening time to market) but there is no silver bullet to get there. However, there is a couple of pressing issues and new tools available.
It's essential to remind that products are developed to provide solutions to a customer's challenge or need, whether it be a car, food, or power generator. This leads to the main challenge of organizations: understanding the voice of the customer, or in other words, capturing value. There is no need to be innovative if the innovation has no value in the eye of the customer. One tool to accomplish this is of course to develop a company's innovation network, and to work closer with customers. At our last event, there were many talks surrounding crowdsourcing. Although it is perceived as mainly consumer-oriented, it was quite interesting to notice many b2b organizations taking a keen look at it to see the potential.
Another factor that stood out to me was the process. Most organizations currently have a process in place, and constantly try to optimize it through different tools. These tools are there to make it more efficient, lower costs, increase collaboration, manage risk, and many other important KPIs. However, it seems that a successful process can only be achieved if there is a clear desire for transparency. NPD involves so many different departments, encounters so many stage gates, that without transparency, the process is doomed to fail.

If you're dying to go to the Sex & the City premiere, you're in luck! SATC star Kristin Davis is auctioning off two VIP tickets on eBay for the movie's premiere in New York City.
Davis is putting the tickets up for auction in order to raise money for Oxfam, a charity that aims to alleviate poverty, injustice and hunger. All the proceeds will go directly to the organization.
Davis says, "Oxfam's mission is to alleviate poverty and injustice by helping people learn skills and create lives."
"I just got back from Africa and saw firsthand that we're making a long-term difference. It gives me a sense of satisfaction."
The NYC movie premiere is going to be on May 27, and the winning bidder will not only get two tickets, they'll also get a meet and greet with Davis on camera, chauffeured car service, hair and makeup for one by Prive, and a pair of Jimmy Choo "Felix" shoes.
The bidding price starts at 99 cents. It will end on March 22.

continued On Tuesday, July 17, she was presented with the Ruth Walsh Smith Scholarship, a $2,000 award from the Northeastern Association of the Blind at Albany.
"I had to put in recommendations and … I had to write a small essay about what I wanted to do with the future," said Mia.
The scholarship is presented to a legally blind woman who is pursuing higher education or career training.
Bango wants to become a lawyer but she also wants to give people the confidence to rise above any disability they might have.
"You can do whatever you want, you just have to get out there and advocate for yourself. You can't just let people tell you 'no;' you have to push for things and have to fight," said Mia. "Sometimes it might be difficult but that's what life is about no matter who you are or what difficulties you have."
In her case, she was lucky to have parents intent on getting her the services she needed to not only succeed but to thrive.
Debbie Bango quit her job to stay home with Mia, which allowed her to receive early intervention services. They sent her to St. Pius in Loudonville where the small, private school setting was better suited for her situation.
"There are many resources out there and parents need to be aware," said Bango. "They have to ask a lot of questions and ask anybody and whoever you need to."
And so far, Siena has proved to be the right college choice.
"The people are all nice and the teachers are accommodating," said Mia. "Sometimes reading things on the board or … watching videos on a projector screen are a little more difficult but I've found ways around it, with tape recorders and getting access to videos ahead of time."
Mia's life today seems relatively normal, but taken as a whole, it's anything but banal. In fact, her story was so rare, so unbelievable, that Oprah wanted to feature the family on her show some years back. But Mia, who also has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, never wanted to go.
"I guess it's special. I haven't heard of that many other people who have been in my situation, so it's interesting," said Bango.

A spate of bird flu cases since the beginning of the year in China has experts watching closely as millions of people and poultry are on the move ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, the world's largest annual human migration.
China has reported more than 50 H7N9 infections in 2014 after the strain jumped from birds to people for the first time last year. The virus remains hard to catch and most cases have been linked to contact with poultry, but scientists worry that could change if it mutates into a form that allows it to spread easily among people.
For those who track influenza, the holiday, which begins Jan. 31, is always worrying because it comes during the winter months when flu typically rages. Add that to hundreds of millions of people — and often birds — crammed together on buses and other forms of transportation going home, and it's always a bit of a gamble. China estimates 3.6 billion trips will be taken over the holiday season.
"This is the first winter we've seen H7N9. We are in uncharted territory," said Gregory Hartl, World Health Organization spokesman in Geneva. "We have seen an upstart in cases, which we are attributing basically to the fact that it's winter. That combined with a lot of movement of people in crowded trains with chickens could give rise to a lot more infections, but we've also seen in past years where it hasn't."
The first H7N9 cases were reported in late March near Shanghai, and more than 200 others have since been identified, including some 50 deaths. A 31-year-old doctor became one of the latest fatalities, raising fears he may have been infected at the hospital where he worked, but none of his patients or other close contacts have reported flu symptoms, according to the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning.
There have been a handful of family clusters, but WHO says no sustained human-to-human transmission has occurred. However, scientists warn that the H7N9 virus contains genetic markers that could help it infect mammals easier than other avian flus. Infected birds also do not show symptoms, making it harder to track the disease. Cases declined in China over the summer, which is typically slower for influenza viruses, after some local live poultry markets were temporarily closed.
In Hong Kong, which has logged three cases, officials will test all poultry for the virus beginning later this week. Taiwan has reported two cases.
In past years, it was the H5N1 bird flu virus that spiked during this time of year. That strain, which has killed at least 386 people since 2003, is still circulating widely in poultry stocks and kills about 60 percent of the people it infects.
On Tuesday, Vietnam, which has long battled the virus, confirmed its first H5N1 death in nine months. Earlier in January, the first human case was reported in North America after a person traveling back from a trip to Beijing became ill and died in Canada.

Nice job on the Delta Flyer, Cryptic! I love the little Delta pet, too.
I have a few questions though. First, I didn't see my shuttle's name or registry number on it, after I changed it. Was I just not looking hard enough, or is it not on there?
Second, I've noticed you can launch either the Delta pet or the Runabout pet while on your ship (mine was an Intrepid Retrofit), but not both. Is this intentional? I can understand it if it is (they're both pretty big craft), but I was hoping to be able to launch my Delta, Runabout, and Type-8 pets all at once, heh. (You can launch the Type-8 with either of the other two at the same time, but not all three).
Regardless, thanks for getting the Delta out, and I look forward to using it later this week in the new episode!

Gwangju 2015 Universiade Legacy Program
The 2015 Gwangju Summer Universiade Organizing Committee (GUOC 2015) has been promoting the Legacy Programme to make it realize the social value through the hosting of the GU 2015.
Hosting mega sporting events is expected to remain a great deal of legacy in the aspects of economic, social, and environmental effects to the host cities or even to the global point of views. Particularly, the GU 2015 is promoting the special legacy programme focusing on the social effect which has not gained that much of attention so far in such sporting events.
The Legacy Programme of Gwangju is designed to upbuild the Federation Internationale du Sport Universitaire(FISU) and to inspire the spirit of Universiade as well as to remain sustainable legacy for developing the worldwide universities in sports.
The GUOC 2015 has made the agreement with the FISU on the development of the programme in May 2010, and determined the Legacy Programme last March through the compromising process.
The Legacy Programme includes 4 of those following projects such as developing anti-doping textbooks, fostering sports journalists and women sports leaders for next generations, and uniting North and South Korean teams in collaboration with the UN and GUOC 2015.
The development of the anti-doping textbook is to raise the social awareness on doping to be used in the worldwide universities.
*Anti-doping is against for taking drugs on purpose of enhancing physical abilities abnormally by doping
The GUOC 2015 has confirmed the promoting schedule on the project after conferring with the FISU and WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency), then now they are developing the textbook draft.
It will be contributed to fostering the free doping environment as the first ever developing project on comprehensive anti-doping textbook targeted university students to help them become aware of the harm of doping, eventually to enhance the youths' physical and mental health.
The Young Reporters' Programme is to provide the opportunity with the university students to be professional sports journalists promoting together with the FISU and the International Sports Press Association(AIPS).
The programme is expected to attract more interest in the Universiade and participation in sports by providing experts training courses and on spot reporting experiences.
In addition, it will be contributing to development of university sports through sharing the expertise in sports with the students.
The Young Women Sports Leaders' Programme is a type of mentoring project to foster women leaders with the matters of quality and quantity by encouraging the young women leaders to pay attention on sports and to participate actively, especially as the age of that their crucial roles are emerging.
The Formation of the United Korean Team is a project to arrange the united Korean team for the first time in the history of multi-sporting events with the role of arbitration of the UN, and it is currently on the process of the specific project since the GUOC and the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace(UNOSDP) made the agreement last July.
The GUOC 2015 has been specially focusing on 'Development of the anti-doping textbook' and 'Formation of the united Korean team' among those of four programmes, and the rest of them is seen to be specified within this year being in consultation now between relevant institutes including FISU.

The Monsters of Templeton (edition 2008)
by Lauren Groff
Work details
The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Emily's choice, March 2013
Good idea, but main character got a little wearing as she seemed so oblivious to the needs and thoughts of others. The lake monster seemed nice.
There were aspects of this book that I liked, some that showed a great deal of promise, and some that grated on me like broken fingernails on slate. It was an uncomfortable mixture, but owning to the brevity of life, I decided the blend might ultimately taint my experience. Other books I have finished recently have provoked similar misgivings, and in retrospect I don't feel better for having seen them through to the end. Dialogue, style, and literary devices that irritate me too often are very likely to be revealed as something the author might defend as her "voice," and there's no arguing with that. The only option when confronted with a voice that's less than pleasing is to move away from it. Sticking around will rarely make it sound sweeter.
And yet I do still think there are some things in this book one can recommend. I just wish those could be teased apart from the rest of the text to see how well they stand on their own.
I'd rather give this book 3 and a half stars, because it took me a while to really get into this book - I started reading it over the Christmas holidays and only finished it last night. That said, it was a satisfying read, & I ended up enjoying it quite a bit.
I really enjoyed the multiple narratives and jumping back & forth between time periods, one of my favorite characteristics of a novel. Also, I appreciate that I wasn't able to guess the ending at all. Whether that is because I was very tired as I was finishing the book or whether it's because Groff is a talented writer, well, I'll leave that up to you.

Whether that is because I was very tired as I was finishing the book or whether it's because Groff is a talented writer, well, I'll leave that up to you.
A first-time novelist sets herself a nearly impossible task by employing characters invented by a novelist acknowledged as an American master. Unlike James Fenimore Cooper, though, Groff can write. . . And while I loved the unintentional effrontery of showing up that unreadable great, I was also conscious of being a captive audience at a recital. . . "The Monsters of Templeton" is propelled, and undone, by ambition.
The result is a pleasurably surreal cross between The Stone Diaries and Kind Hearts and Coronets.
The trouble with "The Monsters of Templeton" is that its complications seem nonstop. . . Ms. Groff's inexperience shows in this overcrowding, as it does in overly mellifluous turns of phrase ("the deer darting startled through the dark"). And she tries out more voices and documents than she can comfortably create.
The whole find-your-real-dad scavenger hunt is a little contrived. . . But Groff has concocted such a rich trove of source documents – portraits, old letters, journal entries, and reminiscences by characters lifted from Fenimore Cooper's writings – that readers will be too busy gleefully burrowing into the fictitious past she has created to mind.
[A] delightful and challenging novel. . . Groff breathes new life into her vivid characters, even those on loan from Cooper's novels.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 140134092X, Paperback)Amazon Best of the Month, February 2008: On the very morning Willie Upton slinks home to Templeton, New York (after a calamitous affair with her archeology professor), the 50-foot-long body of a monster floats from the depths of the town's lake. This unsettling coincidence sets the stage for one of the most original debut novels since The Time Traveler's Wife. With a clue to the mysterious identity of her father in hand, Willie turns her research skills to unearthing the secrets of the town in letters and pictures (which, "reproduced" in the book along with increasingly complete family trees, lend an air of historical authenticity). Lauren Groff's endearingly feisty characters imbue the story with enough intrigue to keep readers up long past bedtime, and reading groups will find much to discuss in its themes of "monsters," both in our towns and our families. --Mari Malcolm
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:34:43 -0400)
"In the wake of a wildly disastrous affair with her married archaeology professor, Willie Upton arrives on the doorstep of her ancestral home in Templeton, New York, where her hippie-turned-born-again-Baptist mom, Vi, still lives. Willie expects to be able to hide in the place that has been home to her family for generations, but the monster's death changes the fabric or the quiet, picture-perfect town her ancestors founded. Even further, Willie learns that the story her mother had always told her about her father has all been a lie: he wasn't the random man from a free-love commune that Vi had led her to imagine, but someone else entirely. Someone from this very town." "As Willie puts her archaeological skills to work digging for the truth about her lineage, she discovers that the secrets of her family run deep. Through letters, editorials, and journal entries, the dead rise up to tell their sides of the story as dark mysteries come to light, past and present blur, old stories are finally put to rest, and the shocking truth about more than one monster is revealed."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Oakland Raiders Diary #1: 1983 Was A Long Time Ago
I am a Raiders fan. Go ahead and make your remarks and jokes, I've heard them all by now. Yes, I'm aware that we were last in the Super Bowl in 2003 when we got beat by the same coach who constructed our team. Yes, I know that we haven't won a Super Bowl since 1984 (it was my first birthday).[1. One of the greatest birthday presents of my lifetime and I don't remember it. I'm not sure if my father even remembers it. All I know is that Marcus Allen ran all over the hated Redskins and I have no memory of it at all. It's disappointing. And it reminds me that I should get a copy of Super Bowl XVIII.] Yes, I'm aware that (God bless him) Al Davis shitcanned Tom Cable after a very promising .500 season. Yes, I'm aware that Hue Jackson got the same treatment despite a mini collapse down the stretch. Yes, I'm aware Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen are promising a New Era Of Excellence.

Intestinal Worms
It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but worms really can enter kids' digestive systems and live there like parasites, feeding off the body. There are many different types of intestinal worms and because children's immune systems aren't fully developed, they are at a greater risk of contracting them than adults. So what are the symptoms, where do the worms come from, and what can you do about them?
Intestinal worms, round worms, tapeworms and toxacara worms can all cause a loss of appetite, nausea, tiredness, a painful or even distended tummy, fever, coughing, and in the case of the most common UK worm, the threadworm, an uncomfortable itch at night around the anus and/or the vulva. Girls may also experience a vaginal discharge. Though very rare in the UK, toxacara infection also affects the sight. For some kids however, if they have a low number of worms wriggling around their digestive system, there are no specific symptoms.
Kids can catch worms from coming into contact with anything contaminated with worms' eggs. That can mean the vomit or poo of an infected dog or cat from a litter tray or soil in the garden. The commonest way of ingesting the threadworm is when kids scratch the itchy worm eggs that have been laid round their bottoms at night, and then put their fingers in their mouths.
Once the worms have entered the body they start to lay eggs. The eggs hatch and the worms themselves work their way into the intestine, where more eggs are laid. Threadworms live for about six weeks. In rare cases, the worms can then move round the body and enter other organs such as the lungs or even the brain, in which case the condition is much more serious.
Worms can be passed out when kids go to the toilet, and one way of checking for an infection is to examine the stool, where the long, thin, thread-like worms may be visible.
It sounds unpleasant, but worms are easily treated with anti-parasitic drugs which your doctor can prescribe. Hygiene here is vital. Worm infection is much more prevalent in places where there's poor sanitation. Teach kids never to handle animal faeces, don't keep your pet's litter tray in the kitchen or bathroom, and if you think a pet is the source, make sure it is treated too.

Ive had them for about 2 weeks now havent seen any, maybe theres still a few left but i hope not there super annonying... (SIGH)
i have had a colonoscopy and half of the results were hard to see not very clear.I have stomach cramps after nearly every meal and have to rush to the toilet,and then i want to eat again.could this be a sympton of worms?
If a child has thread worms, does this cause there to be white marks in their pants?
My 15 year old came to me red faced and explained that he itched so bad he couldnt sleep. I told him I would have to "look" and he was very resistant. I told him lets pretend we are camping and roll over on his side so dad can check it out. His anal area was covered with little white worms. We went to the druggist who recommended pack the area with noxema 4 times a day for a week. He had relief almost instantly, we applied it for 2 weeks and completely gone.
Hi, today is the first time I've noticed white worms in my poo. It really freaked me out haha, but I've also been getting sharp pains up my anus and it's itchy around that area. What medicine shall I use? I don't want to go to a doctor so just ones I could get over the counter at a supermarket would be great, thanks:) by the way I'm 14
I know it's embarrassing but you need to go to the DR to get the right medicine. If you tell the Dr what's been happening they will probably agree with you. The Dr probably won't even examine you. Even if the Dr does ask to take a look, you can say "No, I don't want to do that" or you can ask for a nurse to chaperone you if you feel uncomfortable.
Ive just become 13 and I started seeing small white wriggly things in my poo around about 3-4 years ago and now I want to lose weight but I seem to be putting it on even tho I have a healthy lifestyle. My anus like the hole part is always itchy lately on a night and recently through the day could this be the cause of my weight gain and muscle growth slowing? I need help
I'm 19 years old and I've had them over 2 weeks. I am excessivly terrified from having them. It took 2 weeks for the doctor to give me another dose of medication. I fear that I still have them and have many questions about them because my doctor didn't answer my questions.
I'm 14 and have them and I can't talk to my mum. I've had them 3 times and twice I told my mum, the first she was good but the second she seemed annoyed and said "again?!". I had them and they went away but they've came back. :(
I'm mom if a 13 year old and I would want to,know if my child had anything affecting his health. These worms are so common people just don't talk about it, they are also very contagious so by not telling your mom,your putting anyone your around in danger of getting them,as well. Its cheap to treat medicine can,be bought at any drug store over the counter. Please don't deal with this by yourself tell someone you can trust if you don't feel you,can,tell your mom, but I,can't see any mom getting upset about this, you did nothing wrong, it happens to,the best of us xo good luck
It's nothing to be embarrassed about. All it means is you touched something that had microscopic eggs and put it in your mouth. I had them as a kid and my daughters get them sometimes (they both chew their nails). A simple over the counter medicine gets rid of them. Even the cleanest of people can get them.
I am 12 years old and about a year ago I noticed white specks about 1 cm long in my poo, I am realy embarassed to tell anyone is there any way that I can treat myself??? And also is it serious, I am really scared ;(
To anyone who is embarrassed about telling I'm 13 and have just told my mum and she said that she's glad I told because she'd rather I was embarrassed and told than being ill and keeping it a secret.
