What is sleep apnea?
A struggle for air; unusually loud snoring often accompanied by kicking, flailing and body spasms; feeling disoriented upon awakening and drowsy the rest of the day—those are the symptoms of sleep apnea, a disorder in which people literally stop breathing as they sleep. It happens when muscles in the throat wall relax so much that they actually close up in the deepest stages of sleep, blocking the flow of air. After 20 seconds or so of not breathing, the person is awakened to a lighter level of sleep, only to be disrupted again as he or she heads toward deeper sleep once more. The consequence? It becomes difficult, if not impossible, to get a good night's sleep. Since obesity is a common culprit in sleep apnea, losing weight is one of the best ways to find relief. A special machine that helps sufferers breathe may also ease the problem.
Self-help for snorers
- Exercise regularly to develop good muscle tone.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Avoid alcohol within four hours of bedtime.
- Avoid tranquilizers, sleeping pills and antihistamines before bedtime.
- Sleep on your side rather than your back. Sew a "snore sock" (a sock with a tennis ball in it) to the back of your pajamas. It will prevent you from rolling onto your back during sleep.
- Raise the head of your bed (not your pillow) four inches.
- Wear a whiplash collar to bed to keep your chin extended.

DAKAR (AlertNet) More than 25,000 school children, who have fled conflict in northern Mali with their families to seek refuge in neighbouring Burkina Faso, could completely miss out on education if measures are not rapidly taken to ensure they return to school, Swiss charity Terre des Hommes warned on Friday.
People have been forced to flee their homes in Mali following a Tuareg uprising that began in mid-January, a deepening political crisis caused by a coup d'état in March and a proliferation of armed groups in the north, where an independent state has been proclaimed.
Children were forced to leave school in the middle of the academic year.
"If we don't act now to ensure they can get into existing schools or special schools in refugee camps by October when the new school year starts they would miss school for the second year," said Thierry Agagliate, head of the Terres des Hommes foundation in Burkina Faso.
The refugees are in areas of Burkina Faso where there are few schools even for the Burkinabe children. And where there are schools, refugee children cannot attend because their destitute families are unable to pay for the books, parent-teacher association levies or school canteen fees that are required, Agagliate explained.
"A few children from well-to-do families were able to enroll in schools in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso's capital city) but the children ultimately dropped out because the school curriculum is different from the one in Mali," he added.
The Burkina Faso government and the United Nations have drafted a plan to increase the capacity of schools to accommodate more pupils in areas where refugees have settled, provide books and school food, and set up temporary schools in refugee camps with Malian refugee teachers recruited to use Malian school curriculum.
However, international donors have provided little or no funds for the plan that was estimated to cost $1.7 million, he said.
"Education doesn't seem to be a priority for donors as they focus on issues like food water and shelter," Agagliate told AlertNet on the phone from Ouagadougou.
"But it is imperative that we come to realise that the education of these children also has to be a priority or else we would be left with a time bomb with this mass of uneducated youth," he added.
More than 60,000 refugees from Mali have arrived in Burkina Faso since the conflict erupted, and current trends indicate there will be more than 100,000 refugees by the end of the year with over half being children, according to Terre des Hommes.
Aid agencies, including the U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Terre des Hommes, are currently using limited core funds to respond to education needs. Such programmes mainly target primary education.
"The absence of secondary education opportunities for refugees is a real concern but that would be hard to tackle if the response to the crisis in general and education issues in particular remain underfunded," said Agagliate.
The U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) says the humanitarian emergency sparked by conflict in Mali has escalated beyond expectations, and has raised its funding needs for operations to help people uprooted by the violence this year to $153.7 million from the $35.6 million it requested in February.
Since February's appeal, the agency has received only $20.5 million for its work to help the displaced – a level it called "woefully inadequate".
The U.N estimates that around 145,000 people have been displaced within Mali and 168,000 have been registered as refugees in Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger.

Thank YOU for an incredible 2015 season!
Make plans now to join us for the 2016 Messiah Festival of the Arts!
March 20-27
Full info will be announced RIGHT HERE this Fall!
Highlights of the 2015 Messiah Festival of the Arts
What is "Triptych?"
The theme for the 2015 Messiah Festival is "Triptych." A "triptych" is defined as a "picture or relief carving on three panels, typically hinged together side by side and used as an altarpiece" or, "a set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together."
This theme was chosen to reflect the three different renderings of the story of Christ, unified in one overall message. "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Passion According to St. Matthew" and "Messiah" each tell a story of Jesus Christ, in different time periods, from different perspectives, and in different musical styles. Additionally, a triptych represents the three fine arts mediums celebrated in the Messiah Festival of the Arts – visual arts, music, and theatre; three separate mediums, intended to be appreciated together.
Messiah Festival of the Arts
General Information About the MFA
The Messiah Festival of the Arts is a ten-day celebration of the fine arts, held around every Holy Week at Bethany College in Lindsborg, KS, since 1882. Our mission is to "honor the traditions, explore the new, embrace the excellent."
Highlights of the MFA include:
- A new, large-scale Palm Sunday Weekend event each year
- The traditional and rich performances of Bach's "Passion According to St. Matthew" every Good Friday, and Handel's "Messiah" every Easter Sunday, performed by the 300+-person Bethany Oratorio Society, and today's most renowned operatic soloists

- Engaging theatre productions & workshops

Put an ageing man with a fast car but fading reflexes into a challenging situation. Make sure he has a huge ego and an obsessive, virtually sexual, interest in cars.
Are we talking Jeremy Clarkson here? It certainly sounds like a photo fit of the motormouth presenter of the BBC's Top Gear series.
He would have to be in Japan. Highly possible, his show is a hit with Japanese car fans. Could he have been driving any of these cars: Ferrari F4, Ferrari Modena, Ferrari 355, a top Mercedes or a Lamborghini? Love to! Would he be interested in a rally of wildly expensive gas guzzlers? You bet!
He fits the slot the way Louis Hamilton fits into a Formula 1 shunt. But no, it wasn't Clarkson. Shame really because the driver at fault faces a 3 month jail term at least - and the world could do without Clarkson's hot air for a while, or forever.
The insurance nightmare happened when a line up of expensive super cars was racing two abreast on a motorway slick with rain. Conditions were perfect for a slide and shunt. That's exactly what happened as a Ferrari driver tried a high speed lane switch and hit the nearest car.
Clarkson would have loved to be there with his mike doing the commentary, "Oh watch that Ferrari fly. Not just over the top, it's over 3 Mercs and a Lambo. Not had so much fun since I saw a gang of strikers being taken out and shot."
Vintage Clarkson goes something like this ; on an Alfa Romeo, "Reminds me of Angelina Jolie. Absolutely mad and eats nothing but wallpaper paste but you would, wouldn't you?"
On a Mercedes, "Sounds like Barry White eating wasps." Aston Martin, "Rather be in this than Keira Knightley, a Suzuki "You don't just avoid this, you avoid it like you avoid unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite."
Enough Clarkson. But it has to be said, he is popular, especially with the ultra right. Speaking of which, on VW cars, "The only person who looked good in them was Adolph Hitler."
Liked it
One Response and Counting...
Great stuff – nails the idiot Clarkson

A BACKLOG of high-level radioactive waste may force Britain to close down some of its nuclear power stations, argues a report by the government's Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (NII) which has been leaked to
More than 1300 cubic metres of hot liquid waste from reactors is stored in 21 constantly cooled tanks at Sellafield in Cumbria. In order to reduce the risk of a serious accident, the NII wants the state-owned company that runs the plant, British Nuclear Fuels, to empty the tanks by 2015.
But BNFL is so badly behind schedule that the NII is "unconvinced" that it will meet the deadline. The inspectorate blames the delay on blocked pipes, faulty equipment and failure to get a new plant working in order to solidify the waste into glass blocks.
In the leaked report, the NII threatens legal action to force BNFL to reduce the build-up of liquid waste ...

Excuse me? The best political prediction of 2012 was NATE SILVER calling every Senate race correctly AND steadily maintaining the Obama was a comfortable favorite for re-election when every screeching head was insisting the race was 'tight as a tick' and Romney was planning fireworks displays over Boston.
Not nominating Nate = FAIL
Nate isn't a pundit. He works dispassionately, from real data. These guys are educated guessers, and while I don't doubt the educated part, people need to recognize that crystal balls are props, not instruments. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out next time. I'd like to think that Nate and others like him have changed the game, but really, what are the odds of that?
Besides, how will we fill the endless, empty months of an American presidential campaign if all we have to talk about is how to account for co-variance between state and national polls.
Pundits are in the entertainment business, and should be judged accordingly. On that basis, the winner has to be Carville, even though his "prediction" was the most predictable of all.
? I am fascinated by this distinction- Nate Silver is not a pundit because he "works with data". It seems to me a pundit is someone who's paid a salary to give their opinions about politics.
I bemoan some pundits' willful ignorance- I would never have posited it as a work requirement.
I would actually support that definition – pundits don't work from data. And as it turns out, they don't even work from soft data, like inside connections or experience. They just bloviate.
Brendan H., you sound a lot like Ken M.

As NFP, Michael created a coordinating platform bringing together young people working on SRHR across Zimbabwe. At the 2011 International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA), Michael was an active participant in UNAIDS' CrowdOutAIDS forum. He held an offline consultative meeting in Harare to capture young Zimbabwean's perspectives and to ensure their views are captured in UNAIDS' new youth policy. At ICASA Michael was also part of an editorial team of young people who produced a newsletter, ensuring that young people's voices were visible to stakeholders.
Michael and three other university fellows founded the Zimbabwe Inter-colleges HIV and AIDS Theatre Gala, one of the few platforms that brings Zimbabwean tertiary institutions together annually to explore HIV and AIDS issues using the arts and other initiatives since 2004. He has worked on SRHR programming with several UN agencies as well as Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, the Zimbabwe National Youth Council and National Students Union, and many other partner organizations.

BOSTON -- A few years ago, in a moment of culinary cross-cultural crisis, the gracious owners of a Japanese restaurant offered my family their house delicacy. With a flourish and a smile, they placed before us an elegantly sliced and uncooked lobster tail.
Not only was the tail raw, but it shared the plate with the body to which it had so recently been attached. Right above the creature's eyes were two antennae. Still twitching.

Anne Campbell asks "who are these people bent on forcing equal numbers of men and women into all jobs?" (5 April, p 46). Well, the Institute of Physics for one. In December 2002, the IoP reported as policy that:
"By 2015... women in the UK should make up 50 per cent of A-level physics students, 40 per cent of undergraduate physics students, 40 per cent of postgraduate and postdoctoral physicists and 40 per cent of newly appointed physics lecturers and professors. In addition, women should make up 35 per cent of young professional physicists in industry, 30 per cent of physicists employed in senior industrial positions, 35 per cent of Institute members below the age of 40, 30 per cent of members above 40, and 30 per cent of Institute Fellows," (Physics World, p 45).
Even if only one of these numbers is 50 per cent, the gist is ...

Postcard From Miami: Stiltsville
For our summer catalog, we went on location to Stiltsville, a collection of wood stilt houses rising from the water on the edge of Miami's Biscayne Bay!
Siltsville was founded in the 1930s, and before long it was a veritable village of 27 private sea shacks, where anyone with a boat and an invitation could escape the reach of prohibition.
For decades, Stiltsville remained a mischievous refuge for well-heeled Miamians to relax. Today, only 7 of the stilt houses are left, and they're owned by the National Park Service.
Stiltsville's renegade aura is now a thing of the past, but it still feels like a different world, and it was an incredible place to shoot our new summer collection! Just take a look at some of our outtakes and behind-the-scenes photos.
Can't wait to see more!
Incredibly beautiful! What a fun idea and a great place for a shoot.
I think is where you want to be…
Thanks for sharing 1111
Do they rent this place?
Thats living the life. Talk about authentic! Tankd for sharing the behind the scenes. Would like to see more.
Had my 4oth birthday celebration there in 1988. Nothing like it.
great photos! Cant wait to see more!
Wonderful shots so envious
Now I love West Elm even more! I have wanted to visit Stiltsville since I read about it in a Carl Hiaasen novel a few years ago. Would love to see more pictures!
I never heard of Stiltsville and I thank WE for sharing these beautiful pics with us. Very smart of you to send the e-mail describing it all – otherwise I would have just looked at the catalog without really noticing the scenery.
Love it! I actually grew up in Miami and we used to go to Stiltsville all the time with our boat. Spent a lot of time there; we used to pick up jellyfish with a net and watch the sharks at feeding time swimming around the docks. Brings back great memories. Thank you.
Attended many impromptu parties there in the late seventies. Wiill never forget it!! Magnificent!!!!
Magnificient!!! I have been around by boat but never in any of them… They look amazing. Great idea!!! I want to see the catalog.
Loved seeing "backstage" on your photo shoot; those sunset photos were so serene.
We have been a member there for 28 years and have watched our family have many happy times at the house. My son even learned how to walk out there because he couldn't crawl on the docks. We are now retired and hope to spend many more years enjoying the view.
What I think is…I want to see more of the same but fish shaped designs,
Would be really kool candle holders hanging and gentlu blowing in the breeze !
This is one of those places I've always wanted to go and see. Thanks for the virtual experience of it.

A World Famous Tomato Sauce Recipe
Fall harvest is upon us and so begins the mad dash to use up the tomatoes in the garden. Every year at this time, after we have gorged ourselves on tomato sandwiches, had enough panzanella and caprese salad—there is a point where I think I could never have my fill of panzanella and caprese salad— but we do , the nights turn colder and we want substantial dishes. Pastas, risottos, something stick to your ribs, in place of a crisp white, we decant a burly red.
Standing in the garden, all the fruit heavy on the vine, we see the culmination of all our efforts, the fruits of our labor. The buckets and bowls runneth over and the time has come to cook the remainders in sauce. There is no better pot of sauce than the one made with fresh summer tomatoes. If you haven't had the experience this I implore you, try it or ingratiate yourself to a friend that practices this lovely ritual.
You will be the better because of it.
I always make two pots: my Dad's Marinara and Marcella Hazan's Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter. Much has been written about Marcella's recipe, about its lusciousness, about the butters' ability to tame the rowdy acid in the tomatoes, its rather racy, sultry quality and all of it true. It is the most blogged about, talked about tomato sauce recipe and it is one that I enjoy with unabashed pleasure.
Marcella introduced Americans to regional Italian cooking. Her book the Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking is acclaimed as one of the best and most authentic Italian cookbooks and this recipe has the finesse of someone that has spent their life in the kitchen. No crazy gimmicks here, the recipe allows the star ingredient to dazzle. Tomato sauce in Italy is made with olive oil, yes but also lard and butter. This I learned from Marcella. Butter and cream is used typically in the North and I imagine it is there that you would find the roots of this recipe.
So to begin with you must seize the moment. For it is only in this short window of time —when the tomato harvest is at its zenith —that you can make this sauce the way that it is intended. Gather the best tomatoes. If you have a garden in the back, those are the ones to use preferably plucked, and into to the pot in one fell swoop. If you buy the tomatoes at the farmers market you will need to use your instinct. Be sure to ask if they have been refrigerated, you do not want those. Refrigeration zaps the flavor. You want a tomato still warm and sweet from the sun. Stick your nose in; it should have a wonderful fruity smell. Avoid at all costs the hot house charlatans, these imposters are peddled at the Farmers market too and are sorely lacking in flavor. I bought these beauties from the local farmer, I typically use all plum tomatoes but he suggested a variety of his best. I was game.
It is a simple recipe adapted from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan. It involves only a few simple ingredients including tomatoes, butter onion, bay leaves and salt. The only real work involved here is peeling the tomatoes. There are many methods to this madness, don't over think it. Food52 has some great suggestions for peeling. Once peeled, chop them coarsely, drop in the onion, butter and bay leaves and a little salt then put the sauce on a quiet fire to bubble away. Spaghetti is the classic choice but Marcella also empathically recommends potato gnocchi. Serve with grated parmigiano.
When saucing your pasta Marcella says to always finish with some cold butter or really good extra virgin olive oil. In this case be consistent, use butter. Montecare, as the Italians say finishing with fat provides sheen and you will see how the sauce lovingly clings. This bowl of pasta is round, rich and profoundly satisfying. A summer tomato is a marvel of nature, of earth and sun and this sauce captures that essence. It is a culinary ode. This is one to whip up when you want to ask for something, a new Vespa, propose a gap year in Casablanca, yielding the powers of this dish you will find—
— beauty is a persuasive thing.
It brings to mind a statement made by Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, "the Catholic Church is opposed to cloning, but an exception might be made in the case of Sophia Loren." Case and point, beauty is a persuasive thing.

Schauerte will report to Adrian Gans, the head of strategy and planning, and will lead a team of eight planners and strategists.
Chris Mellish, Razorfish chief executive, said: "The creation of the role of planning director is testament not only to Achim's obvious abilities, but also to the evolution of Razorfish's offering.
"Our clients no longer look to us for innovation and creativity in terms of just technology solutions, but also across multichannel, through-the-line campaigns. Achim's experience and leadership will be a wonderful compliment to our existing team."
Schauerte began working at Ogilvy in Germany in 2005, working across the company in New York and Dubai for four years, before joining Razorfish in Frankfurt. He has also worked across traditional advertising, from shopper marketing to digital and social media.
He helped to build the planning department in Frankfurt and moved to London on a secondment at the end of 2011.
Razorfish has made a string of appointments over the past year, poaching William Lidstone and Daniel Bonner from AKQA last year, and appointing Sean Chambers from Blast Radius as executive creative director last month.

Highly trained within the fields of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning, Explore Disc Golf is a full-service disc golf design-build firm with a focus on using the disc golf course as a framework to educate the public about the sport and the restorative benefits of nature. We aim to provide the resources necessary to ensure all scales of disc golf implementation are presented and completed in a professional manner. From large scale establishments with championship course design, planning and course improvements to temporary course installations and equipment rentals, Explore Disc Golf is simply interested making this healthy, environmentally-sound activity accessible as possible to the public. Consultations afford you the opportunity to pick our brains, while our installation division can take any project from the planning to playing stages in a matter of weeks. Disc golf and environmental education, art and lighting installations, tee and course signage, business development packages for investors and entrepreneurs, basket rentals and upgrades, as well as merchandising for players, companies and tournaments round out this one-stop disc golf experience.
Our disc golf course design services have few limitations, as we believe that disc golf installations can be enjoyed anywhere from Universities and park systems to campgrounds and backyard residences. We're proud to offer designs that are completely customizable in scale, in addition to the ever-popular temporary courses that we create and install. Providing the framework and infrastructure for temporary courses, Explore Disc Golf is able to create a course on any parcel for any event. Site planning is available in conjunction with course design, or utilized as a standalone service. This service is necessary to make sure you comply with all zoning regulations and have the best possible strategy for your installation. We also offer consultation and installation services.

Disc golf course improvement services can be paired together with course design services, or used separately to enhance an already existing course. We are proud to offer several levels of tee and course signage — from wooden signs that fit in with the natural characteristics of the course to metal signage that displays a professional, clean appearance. We also offer several artful forms of course signage that aid users in wayfinding and navigation, as proper signage is key to creating repeat users and a sense of comfort within a wooded setting. Disc golf and environmental education signage takes the time to inform the public about not only the history of disc golf and proper throwing techniques, but the player's surroundings and the restorative benefits of nature. Business development packages are available for those interested in creating a steady stream of revenue from this ever-growing sport — thorough site planning, course design, store specifications, business plans, suggested sales and more are provided within this package. Lastly, art and lighting installations allow you to expand your hours of operation and reach to the general public. We can create a master plan for art installations, as well as provide lighting throughout any course with LEDs, movers, fog machines, LED ropes and more. Bring your course to life — add any of these course improvements today!
Disc golf equipment rentals are a service that we are extremely excited to offer to the disc golf community! Rentals come in the form of discs, baskets and The Mobile Disc Golf Experience. Are you looking to add a healthy, inexpensive recreational activity to heighten your festival's fan experience? Do you operate a fair and want to offer a fun, leisurely activity for your patrons? Maybe you've heard about the sport of disc golf and want to try it for your physical education class at your elementary school or do a trial run to see if it boosts your summer sales at a ski resort? Well we've got you covered! We have the ability to design and install a course for you, including all basket and discs rentals to cover your exact needs through temporary courses or The Mobile Disc Golf Experience.
Our disc golf merchandising services are terrific if you're a player looking to brand yourself, a company adding on apparel sales, or a tournament in need of fundraising supplies. We are proud to offer screen printing, embroidery and distribution services to disc golf players, companies and tournaments. Need a banner for your tournament or business cards at your store? We've got you covered! Are you a touring professional that doesn't want to deal with the hassle of distribution and fulfillment? We can print your gear in house, sell it through our online store and provide fulfillment of all your orders through our distribution division. Our focus is to consolidate your merchandising experience and help make it as profitable as possible, so give us a try next time you're in need of any screen printed or embroidered apparel.
The Mobile Disc Golf Experience is one of our most popular services, as we have the ability to create a safe, yet challenging 3-6 hole temporary disc golf course complete with signage and free disc rentals! The Mobile Disc Golf Experience is completely customizable in scale both in terms of number of holes, as well as technical challenge. Once contracted for an event, we simply meet with the client to figure out the land restrictions and we get to work designing, installing and signing the disc golf holes. We have created several beginner-friendly courses for children and adults alike, as well as creating technically demanding courses that were a test for more advanced players. Difficulty aside, our goal with The Mobile Disc Golf Experience is quite simple: to make the sport of disc golf as accessible as possible to the general public!

I should have been clearer. I wasn't speaking of a message which is
displayed after you login, I was speaking of basically making
/etc/issue a FIFO. The problem I was speaking of is that if you try
to do something like that, you are asking for trouble if the program
on the "write" end of the pipe isn't running.

In warm weather it's almost too easy to unscrew the gate, but a extra cinch after tightening seems to keep it locked down.

I'm a licensed professional.
I believe psychotherapy can be helpful on belief, skills, relational, behavioral and spiritual levels. We can each run into problems in life and not be able to make sense of what we ourselves or others are doing to contribute. We become confused or we believe strongly we know what someone else is doing to make a situation awful and cannot see what to do or how we contribute. Psychotherapy should offer an atmosphere of acceptance in which to explore what our basic beliefs about self, others and the world. Psychotherapy helps us step outside of ourselves to see what those beliefs might be, how we came to believe those ideas and how to adjust them to have the most fulfilling life possible. Psychotherapy also helps us determine if we have all the skills and behaviors we need in life- do we know how to ask for help, set boundaries, take care of ourselves, interact well with others, cope with our anger, to list some examples. Psychotherapy helps explore how to develop skills for living. Therapy can also help us see our relationships in a more objective light, our contribution, how others react to us and how we can change what is in our power to change (which is usually ourselves/our reactions/our boundaries and not others). Finally, psychotherapy can combine a look at your spirituality and your thoughts, relationships and actions to lead to the most fulfilling life.
Psychotherapy is your investment in your life and relationships. It comes at a cost both financially and emotionally. If you have questions or concerns or dissatisfaction, talk to your therapist about it! You are coming to see someone who helps people with relationships- this is the very type of person you should be able to approach about whether or not counseling is helpful, if the relationship between the two of you is what you want it to be. This type of conversation might actually hit on some topics that are exactly what is at the heart of your problems and it will help your therapist to know what you want. Tell your therapist what did not work in a previous therapy situation- it is always helpful to know what you were looking for that you did not receive. In short,do not be afraid to bring up your concerns- a therapist should be one of the very best people to hash through these type of issues.

Michael Lohan had quite the adventure with police during his latest arrest.
The recently released police report documenting the bizarre events reads like an action novel, beginning with Lohan's violation of a no-contact order and concluding with his hospitalization after fleeing the cops by jumping from a hotel balcony.
The report also notes (under "linkage factors") that Lohan "consumed alcohol and drugs."
So what's the latest? And how is his alleged victim, Kate Major, reacting to the events?
MORE: Could Lindsay's Dad Be Joining Her Behind Bars?
According to the police report on Lohan, officers confirmed firsthand Kate Major's complaint that he was violating a judge's orders by contacting her.
"She [Kate] was very upset and fed up with this whole situation," the report states. "We looked at her land-line phone and saw a call from the Tahitian Inn came in at 2252hrs. We saw another call from the def's cell phone at 0053hrs. While we were gathering this information, the def called again from his cell phone."
MORE: Michael was in rehab. Obvi.
The report states that Lohan, on speakerphone, tried persuading Major to "work things out" with him, stating, "I didn't throw the remote at you, I threw it at the floor."
When the police arrived at the Tahitian to chat with Lohan, one of the cops spotted him hiding behind a pillar on the second floor of the hotel. After cops called his name, the chase began, with Lohan eventually pulling a Superman move and taking flight off a balcony into a tree.
"He came crashing down on top of wooden high chairs that were lying on the ground," states the report. "This fall was 34 feet (measured with laser)."
Lohan is still in a Tampa area hospital with an injured foot and will not be posing for a fresh mug shot until he is released, according to Tampa Police Media Relations.
MORE: Necklacegate was another drama-filled Lohan classic
A rep for Major said she had "no comment" on the incident—but not, apparently, because she is protecting her privacy.
The alleged harassment victim is reportedly shopping her story around to news outlets. Major's rep told E! News that her client would be willing to elaborate on her "no comment" in a sit-down interview—for the right amount of cash.
MORE: Did Ali Lohan have work done?
Making matters worse for Lohan is the fact that Lindsay's mom and Michael's ex-wife, Dina, served him this week with papers for failing to pay $11,000 in child support.
Meanwhile, she is on her way to L.A. to support her troubled daughter at her next court date, scheduled for Nov. 2.
"She's coming to be with Lindsay," an insider told E! News.
Stay tuned for the ongoing Lohan family saga...

PICS: Ali Lohan's looking odd these days

Glee Season 3 Spoilers: Something Bad Happens to Blaine! New Details on the Michael Jackson Episode
As details continue to spill in regarding January 31's Glee Season 3, Episode 11: "Michael" ― a tribute to the late, great Michael Jackson ― our excitement just keeps buildin'! We know Blaine will be there. We know there's a sweet duet by Finchel! We know Quinn and Rachel will share a scene. And then there's all those great songs!
Now, thanks to the dedicated tweetin' of TV Guide's William Keck, we have a peek at some of the episode's other highlights. See what he had to say...
Quinn's Fate After High School
"Quinn will be the first of the #Glee kids to learn her post high school fate"
Just where exactly will Q be headed after graduation? We're about to find out!
Artie's Love Life: More Sexytimes Ahead?
"it's a HUGE #kevinmchale Artie episode. He even gets to...um..should I say what he does for only the second time...?"
We know what you're thinking: Artie's about to get some. It seems obvious, but …
Come to think of it, do you know what ELSE Artie's only done once? Got out of his wheelchair and danced (in a dream sequence, of course)!
Michael Jackson episode? Dream sequence dance? Squee.
Oh no! Poor Blaine ...
"something bad happens to Blaine in the #Glee #MichaelJackson episode. And Sebastian is to blame."
Sebastian's got some major explaining to do.
Samcedes (!!!!)
"Mercedes #amberriley and Sam #chordoverstreet sing a haunting mash-up of Human Nature & Nature Boy"
Please say this means they're getting back together. Please.
Quinn's "Never Gonna Say Goodbye" Solo
"it may be my favorite number ever because of whom Quinn sings to."
A certain boy, perhaps? Naw, that's too easy. We're betting she sings it to none other than little baby Beth.
Meanwhile, over on Lea Michele's Twitter page, she's got a spoiler of her own...
On January 4, Lea dished, "Off to the hallway now for a Kurt and Rachel scene... We'll find out soon if they'll get into NYADA or not!!"
Oh man!
Where is Quinn headed post-gradution? Is Artie gettin' lucky (again)? Are Mercedes and Sam getting back together?! Will Kurt and Rachel's dreams come true? And WHAT is Sebastian up to!?
Put on your thinking caps, Gleeks, and hit us up with your best guesses in the comments!

PhpStorm 2.1 — Take PHP by Storm
PHPDoc @var annotations
Now support Netbeans/Zend style (single-asterisk), along with the ability to put it after actual initialization. It will further improve collaboration for teams using different IDEs simultaneously.
'Extract Function/Method' refactoring for PHP
The point of this refactoring is to convert a part of a larger function/method into a new function/method. This might be useful if you need to make your code easier to understand or reuse a specific code fragment. See example...
HTML tag tree highlighting
A new code highlighting feature makes it easier to work with large and complex HTML files, with a nested tags structure:
htaccess support
Support for ".htaccess" Apache config files:
- Syntax highlighting
- Completion for common htaccess-directive names
- Quick documentation lookup
- and more...
Easier to Use Completion Techniques
Don't bother pressing Shift anymore: the improved code completion will understand you perfectly and quickly provide the matches you need.
And from now on, PHP completion will complete class names from other namespaces, inserting the fully qualified name. You may need to invoke completion manually to get them in the completion list.
More Comfort with Version Control
- TODO items verification on VCS commit
- Import patches into WebStorm shelf
- Misc. improvements for all supported VCS
Phing support
PhpStorm automatically completes and checks standard tags, properties, target names, path attribute values in build files:
Initial Twig support
Directory Comparison, Image Comparison & DB Diff
We know how important it is to track what has been changed in your project. This is why we bring you new Diff Tools for comparing local directories, images and DB objects (Data Sources, Schemes, Tables).
New Inspections
- Silly assignments
- Illegal type of array key
- Inconsistent return points and more...
HAML support bundled
Syntax highlighting and auto-indenting
Reworked Search/Replace
A more convenient, non-modal Replace UI introduced with an instant preview regular expression replace.
JavaScript Debugger in Google Chrome
The Debugger for Chrome supports all features of the JavaScript debugger for Firefox: breakpoints, inspecting local variables, evaluating expressions, etc.
JavaScript Change Signature
Change Signature refactoring added to JavaScript. Quickly rename, reorder function parameters, add new parameters or remove existing ones.

Comments, questions and tips
Made these today and they are lovely. Chewy, intense chocolate flavour and the raspberries add a nice sharp kick that cuts through the richness of the chocolate. Shall be making these again!
With regards to the cooking time the 30 minutes proved perfect for me (I have a fan oven) and gave the brownies a nice crunchy top yet still chewy centre.
Yum yum yum!
I really liked the sound of these because I find brownies too sweet and I thought the raspberries would add a good tang.
The taste was excellent but, like others, I found that the cooking time was way too short. After 30 mins the edges were starting to go too hard and the middle was completely runny. I ended up cutting off the edge pieces and putting the rest back in for about 25 minutes. The final result was just the right texture but I wouldn't make them like that again. I think if you split the mixture into two small tins it would set fine in the given time and allow the right soft texture all the way through.
Lovely taste, instructions need tweaking.
Just made these with Frozen raspberries and they turned out fine. 160 fan oven for 45 mins. Next time i will leave them for a little less time but as so many commented on them not setting I wanted to be safe! I did as Jo Bato suggested and put in white choc chunks too. I think the quality of the choc wasn't great though so will not use next time. My boyfriend is just having his third piece though so no complaints here.
I am a truly useless baker... but these come out just like the photograph, which is fantastic and useful as they dont last very long so we can always look at the photograph once they have all been scoffed. Everyone who has tried them loves them. I agree about them needing a bit more time in the oven, glad its not just me. I find once the top has a bit of a crust, they are perfect, gooey yumminess on a plate.
Made these today for a picnic. Everyone absolutely loved them. Substituted milk chocolate for white chocolate (to compliment the raspberries) and didn't melt the white chocolate; I just chopped roughly and stirred through at the end with the raspberries. Put 50g of white chocolate chunks on the top too with the extra raspberries. Used 300g of frozen raspberries (that were not only loads cheaper than fresh but held their shape really well). Added these in frozen which chilled the mixture (I find chilled cake batter always rises better). Used half dark brown sugar and golden caster sugar instead and cooked for an extra 10 minutes (wanted firmer slices for the picnic â would leave gooey if serving as a dessert)!
No probs with sloppiness using 200g raspberries. Not surprised these are yummy with the amount of sugar in them. Felt the fat piling on just measuring it in. Unfortunately these are scummy the tartness of raspberry against the chocolate does indeed make these moreish thou too many still warm became sickly, better leave some for the kids ....

Are Lottery Wheels Worthwhile?
Lottery wheels are systematic lottery entries that use several lines – often scores or even hundreds of lines – to offer the player a certain limited kind of guarantee. For example, you might select 15 numbers in the Lotto game and enter them in such a way that you are guaranteed to get 3 numbers on the same ticket if 6 of your 15 selections are drawn. That sounds like a great guarantee, and you certainly can't lose out by taking a lottery wheeling approach, but are lottery wheels really worth the effort of sorting out all of those numbers in a carefully planned way, or would players fare just as well by entering the same quantity of Lucky Dip entries?
The simplest answer to that question is that it depends on the results that you get from your lottery wheeling. If you try lottery wheeling and win a prize that puts you in profit – or maybe even a jackpot prize – then you would obviously say that the practice is very worthwhile. If, on the other hand, you try wheeling and don't win even a minimal prize for several draws in a row then you might well conclude that the approach isn't at all worth the time and effort that you put into it.
Putting aside the experiential side of things, what we want to ask here is if lottery wheels are worthwhile from a mathematical perspective, and the short answer is no. Although lottery wheels offer limited guarantees (the extent of the guarantee depending on the type of lottery wheel employed and the quantity of numbers it allows you to play) they all rely on you hitting a certain quantity of numbers from your selections. In other words, the efficacy of wheeling is still completely dependent on the luck of the draw.
The only aspect of wheeling that has any significant impact on your chances of becoming a lottery winner is that they force you to buy multiple tickets. A wheel that requires nine lines will therefore give you nine times as much chance of landing a prize as a single ticket entry. But if you were to enter nine Lucky Dip tickets, or nine tickets with any other numbers of your choosing, your chances would increase by the same amount.
Of course, if you like to play Lottery wheels then you should feel free to do so, as you won't reduce your chances of winning by one iota and you could well get lucky enough to land a major prize. But by the same token, those of you who would rather increase your chances by entering multiple tickets using whatever numbers you choose can enjoy exactly the same odds of success, and without any of the additional effort that lottery wheeling involves.
Whatever way you choose to proceed, buy lottery tickets online and if you win you will be notified of that fact straight away. Good luck!
