Multistate Outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 Infections Associated with Beef from Fairbank Farms
Updated November 2, 2009
States where persons infected with the outbreak strain of E. coli O157:H7 live, United States, by state, from August 21, 2009 to November 2, 2009
Infections with the Outbreak Strain of E. coli O157:H7 By Illness Onset
Several state health departments, CDC, and the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) are investigating a multi-state outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections. On October 31, 2009, FSIS issued a notice about a recall of 545,699 pounds of beef products from Fairbank Farms that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. Health officials in several states who were investigating a cluster of E. coli O157:H7 illnesses, with isolates that match by "DNA fingerprinting" analyses, found that most ill persons had consumed ground beef, with several purchasing the same or similar product from a common retail chain. At least some of the illnesses appear to be associated with products subject to these recalls. A sample from an opened package of ground beef recovered from a patient's home was tested by the Massachusetts Department of Health and yielded an E. coli O157:H7 isolate that matched the patient isolates by DNA analysis.
The cluster includes twenty-eight persons from 12 states infected with matching strains of E. coli O157:H7. Of these, the genetic association of 7 human isolates and the product isolate have been confirmed by an advanced secondary DNA test ; secondary tests are pending on others. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: California (1), Connecticut (4), Massachusetts (8), Maryland (1), Maine (2), Minnesota (1), New Hampshire (4), New Jersey (1), New York (1), Pennsylvania (2), South Dakota (2), and Vermont (1).
The first reported illness began on August 18, 2009, and the last began on October 10, 2009; however all but 2 patients reported becoming ill between September 17 and October 10, 2009. Sixteen patients are reported to have been hospitalized and 3 developed a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Two deaths have been reported. Sixty-seven percent of patients are male and 43% are less than 18 years old (range 1 to 84 years).
Most of the beef packages in the recall bear the establishment number "Est. 492" inside the USDA mark of inspection and have identifying package dates of "091509" or "091609." Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers for beef products produced by this firm and purchased on or after September 15, 2009 and discard or return the recalled beef products to the place of purchase for a refund. Customers with questions about the source of a package of beef should contact the place where they purchased it (e.g., grocery store, club store, or meat market).

Advice to Consumers
Cook Beef Thoroughly
Eat ground beef or ground beef patties that have been cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160° F.
- Use a food thermometer to measure the internal temperature—it is the only way to be sure ground beef is cooked to a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
- Color is NOT a reliable indicator that ground beef or ground beef patties have been cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7.
For more information go to Is It Done Yet? (USDA).
Refrigerate Meats
- Refrigerate raw meat within two hours after purchase or within one hour if temperatures exceed 90° F.
- Store ground beef in a refrigerator set at 40° F or below, and cook or freeze it within one or two days of purchase
- Refrigerate cooked meat and poultry within two hours after cooking, and use or freeze it within three or four days

I've decided to abandon WindowMaker (which served me well until the
advent of GTK+2) because of a bug that causes the focus to cycle back
and forth very quickly between two GTK+2 windows under certain common
circumstances. (The bug only occurs in the sloppy focus modes)
I looked at fluxbox, and quickly found that in its sloppy focus modes,
a click anywhere in the window's content region will raise the window
(hence, working in a word processor with the intent to keep another
window, like an AIM window hovering above it doesn't work very well).
So I looked at openbox, which doesn't show minimized windows anywere
except for its windows menu (fluxbox shows them right on the slit).
Does anybody know of anything that addresses one of these problems? (so
I can switch to either fluxbox or blackbox and have it cover both

Unknown in Africa before the jihad against the Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan, suicide bombing has become common place in the 21st century. From Algeria to Somalia through Libya, Mali and Nigeria, so- called Salafi jihadis have recruited and trained tens of thousands of combatants. Through cigarette and narcotic trafficking, hostage taking for ransom, and bank hold ups, they have procured huge financial resources, sophisticated weapons, and now constitute a serious security challenge not only to many countries of North Africa and the Sahel but also to their Western allies. This conference course will address the spread of jihadi groups in Muslim Africa (North Africa and the Sahel) after the cold war. The first part of the course will adress the divergent theoretical interpretations of terrorism and address in particular the following questions: Is it greed that sustains civil wars or grievance? Does the root of terror lie in culture or politics? Is there any evidence that civilizations clashed after the cold war? The second part of the course will focus on select transnational Islamist movements, situated both in their local context of nation building and their larger regional contexts. Case studies will include Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb in North Africa and the Sahel, the Harakat al-shabab al-mujahidin in the Horn of Africa, the Boko Haram in the Lake Chad region and the Gama'at islamiyya in Egypt and beyond.

Kikuchi disease
|Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease
Micrograph of a lymph node with Kikuchi disease showing the characteristic features (abundant histiocytes, necrosis without neutrophils). H&E stain.
|Classification and external resources
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) was described in 1972 in Japan. It is also known as Kikuchi disease, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, Kikuchi necrotizing lymphadenitis, phagocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, and necrotizing lymphadenitis.[1][2][3][4]
It was first described in Japan by Dr Masahiro Kikuchi in 1972[5] and independently by Y. Fujimoto.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting disorder that typically affects the cervical lymph nodes. Recognition of this condition is crucial, especially because it can easily be mistaken for tuberculosis, lymphoma, or even adenocarcinoma. Awareness of this disorder will help prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.[1]
Kikuchi's disease is a very rare disease and mainly seen in Japan. Isolated cases are reported in America, Europe and Asia. It is mainly a disease of young adults (mean age, 20–30 years), with a slight bias towards females. The cause of this disease is not known although infectious and autoimmune etiologies have been proposed. Course of the disease is generally benign and self-limiting. Lymphadenopathy most often resolves over several weeks to six months. Recurrence rate is about 3%. Mortality is extremely rare and usually due to hepatic, respiratory, or cardiac failure.
Some studies have suggested a genetic predisposition to the proposed autoimmune response. Several infectious candidates have been associated with Kikuchi's disease.[6]
There are many postulates about the etiology of KFD. A microbial/viral or autoimmune cause has been suggested. Mycobacterium szulgai, Yersinia and Toxoplasma have been implicated. More recently there has been growing evidence of the role of Epstein-Barr virus, as well as other viruses (HHV6, HHV8, Parvovirus B19, HIV- and HTLV-1) in the pathogenesis of KFD.[1] However, many independent studies have failed to identify the presence of these infectious agents in cases of Kikuchi lymphadenopathy.[7] In addition, serologic tests including antibodies to a host of viruses have consistently proven noncontributory and no viral particles have been identified ultrastructurally. It is now proposed that KFD is a nonspecific hyperimmune reaction to a variety of infectious, chemical, physical and neoplastic agents. In addition to SLE, other autoimmune conditions and manifestations such as antiphospholipid syndrome, polymyositis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, bilateral uveitis, arthritis and cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis have been linked to KFD. It is possible that KFD may represent an exuberant T-cell mediated immune response in a genetically susceptible individual to a variety of non-specific stimuli.[1]
Human leukocyte antigen class II genes are more frequent in patients with Kikuchi disease, suggesting a genetic predisposition to the proposed autoimmune response.
Clinical Features[edit]
The signs and symptoms of Kikuchi's disease are fever, lymphadenopathy, skin rashes and headache. Rarely hepatosplenomegaly and nervous system involvement resembling meningitis is seen. Differential diagnosis includes SLE, disseminated tuberculosis, lymphoma, Sarcoidosis, and viral lymphadenitis.Clinical findings sometimes may include positive results for IgM/IgG/IgA Antibodies.
For other causes of lymph node enlargement, see lymphadenopathy.
It is diagnosed by lymph node excision biopsy.
Kikuchi's disease is a self-limiting illness which has symptoms which may overlap with Hodgkin's lymphoma leading to misdiagnosis in some patients.
ANA, APLA, Anti-dsDNA, RF are usually negative, and may help in differentiating from SLE.
No specific cure. Treatment largely supportive. NSAIDs for tender lymphnodes and fever, corticosteroids are useful in severe extranodal or generalized disease.
Symptomatic measures aimed at relieving the distressing local and systemic complaints have been described as the main line of management of KFD. Analgesics, antipyretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) and corticosteroids have been used. If the clinical course is more severe, with multiple flares of bulky cervical lymphadenopathy and fever, then a low-dose corticosteroid treatment has been suggested.

Surgeons undergo years of specialized training to ensure that they have the skills and experience necessary to do their jobs safely and effectively. They hold one of the most sacred and delicate jobs in society today, and luckily, most surgeons devote the necessary amount of care and attention to their work. Doctors who do this will reduce or eliminate the chances of preventable accidents from occurring.
Unfortunately, not all medical professionals devote such care and attention to their work. Studies show that there are 225,000 deaths every year due to negligence on the part of health care professionals. In fact, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following heart disease and cancer.
Surgical malpractice is an especially dangerous area of health care because of the nature of the job. Surgeons perform a number of different, highly-specialized procedures daily, and the difference between the life and death of a patient can literally depend on a flick of the wrist.
Types of Surgical Errors
There are a number of things that can go wrong during a surgery that could have been prevented by a surgeon. These mistakes can lead to serious injury or even death in a patient. Examples of common surgical errors include:
- Wrong site surgery
- Incorrect procedures
- Mishandling of surgical instruments
- Foreign objects left inside a body cavity
- Surgery on the wrong patient
- Improper suturing
- Post-surgical complications
With all of these possible surgical errors, it is imperative that surgeons devote themselves to their work diligently so that these preventable mistakes do not endanger the well-being of their patients.
Speak with a Minneapolis Surgical Malpractice Attorney
If you or someone you know has been injured due to surgical errors, contact the Minneapolis surgical malpractice lawyer of Terry, Slane & Ruohonen, P.L.L.C. today at 612-TSR-TIME.

Hello everyone.
My path crossed the little fellow below yesterday while walking in Le Marais. He looked like he was enjoying the best possible lazy and peaceful moment in his life.This kind of "raw" expression of a feeling (that you most of the time find on animals) always looks moving to me. No fake, no desguise, just the deep pleasure of being in the moment.
I hope your sunday is the best possible !

High pressure will provide perfect weather conditions today on through Friday with temperatures above normal.
Scattered cloud cover along with light and variable winds can be expected today, Thanksgiving, and Friday as high pressure remains in place over much of the eastern United States. Temperatures will remain above normal with lows in the mid 30s over the interior and upper 30s to lower 40s along the coast and highs in the lower to mid 50s.
A cold front will move through on Saturday morning with a few additional clouds and potentially an isolated shower or flurry. No significant precipitation is expected with this cold front passage, however temperatures will fall back to below normal levels once again.
High pressure will remain in control Saturday afternoon on through Tuesday with dry conditions. Temperatures will range from the upper 20s to lower 30s for lows and mid to upper 40s for highs through the period.

One of the reasons I enjoy anime is the variety. The genres range from magical girl shows to horror. And there are subgenres within those sections as well. But sometimes you have to wade through a sea of dreck to discover a gem though. Luckily for me, I found two new shows this summer that look promising. One of them keeps surprising me with each episode.
"Natsume Yuujinchou" is both a fantasy and a supernatural anime but it's not scary at all. Think "Mushi-shi" but wilth a younger protagonist and a simpler storyline.
Our hero, Takashi Natsume, is an orphan who just transferred to a new school set in a bucolic-looking town with green fields, clear blue skies, a shrine and a horde of spirits.Takashi has been able to see spirits since he was a child which made for a lonely, isolated childhood, The various relatives and people he stayed with thought he was weird and treated him accordingly.
Now he's staying with a nice couple in a town where his grandmother, Reiko, once lived. And the spirits are pestering him more than usual. In the first episode, we meet Takashi as he's being chased by a one-eyed long-haired monster that only he can see.
He makes a run for the nearest shrine for safety but trips over a rope and snaps it.
The rope is part of a barrier around a small shrine that houses a spirit in the shape of a cat charm. You've seen what this charm looks like if you've ever been to an Asian market or souvenir shop. It's a white cat with one paw raised.
Anyway, the cat charm thingy is the size of a very fat cat and speaks as well. Takashi is less than impressed since he's seen weirder things before. The cat's true form is of a shaggy white beast (looks like a dog actually) with red markings. The spirit's name is Madara but he prefers Takashi call him sensei or master. Our hero also refers to him as Nyaanko sensei (don't ask me what that means).
The teen finds out that the spirits want their names back from him and calls him by his grandmothers' name. It turns out Reiko Natsume could see spirits and also had a lonely existence. So she went around challenging spirits and taking their names after she defeated them. She kept the names in a journal called "The Book of Friends." It is this book that the spirits are after.
Takashi agrees to return the names of the spirits who come to him and promises sensei he can have the book when he's gone. Nyaanko sensei despairs that the book is getting thinner since Takashi keeps returning the names.
Having power over someone because you know their true name is a concept not restricted to Japanese folktale. Several cultures also believe in this.
The show's pace is slow, almost languid at times. But it's interesting and can be touching. Case in point episode two, which is about a local spirit who has shrunk since only one woman is left who remembers him and makes offerings. She is dying but still painfully makes her way to his small shrine to pay her respects and leave him a peach. The spirit could have left years ago but he chose to stay, knowing he would vanish once the woman dies. The reason why he stayed made me teary-eyed. Sniffle sniffle.
When Takashi returns a spirit's true name, he sees the spirit's memory of its interaction with his grandmother. He is getting to know who she was and starts to feel some empathy toward the spirits that progress and people have forgotten.
I've seen four episodes of this show and I'm always waiting eagerly for the next one. I like shows that make you think and feel.

Gillibrand expects Senate vote on 9/11 Health Bill
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is announcing that Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to file for cloture on the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act on Monday and that an initial Senate vote to begin formal debate on the bill will likely take place on Wednesday.
"The 9/11 heroes deserve an up or down vote", says Senator Gillibrand. "Let's put politics aside, engage in a thorough and respectful debate, and then let each senator decide for themselves whether the heroes and victims of September 11th deserve quality health treatment and appropriate compensation for their tremendous loss and sacrifice."
Gillibrand first introduced this bill in the Senate last year.
"No one thought we would make it to this point. Due to the tireless effort of so many first responders and survivors, after nine long years we are close to fulfilling our duty to the 9/11 heroes, but we still have a lot of work to do."

|Home > National Day
Amanda Fisher / 23 November 2012
The man who says he is the countrys proudest citizen wants to invite His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to a party on the upcoming National Day so he can personally witness the mans devotion to his country, stamped all over his house.
Abbas Al Baloushi estimates he will spend the not so insubstantial sum of more than Dh50,000 on decking up his house out in national colours, including about 165 painted, cardboard, and cloth flags.
"Every day I want this party, not once a year, every day I'm happy for this. I want every day to be National Day."
The Al Quoz Street house, which has been steadily accruing decorations since the beginning of the month, is now in its second year of celebrating National Day, though prior to that Al Baloushi said he used to decorate the hotel apartment he owns.
"The whole world loves Shaikh Mohammed and the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. They're good men, they give us everything, everything ... for the local people, all the Indian people, (everyone)."
The house, which had about four professionals as well as Al Baloushi working on it, is already attracting attention, with as many as 700 cars stopping by to take photos over the past month, he said.
The green, red, black and white house is hard to miss, with its various thematically-coloured lights in front of the house, which stands proudly in a neighbourhood where both the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab are visible landmarks.
National Day is the Dubai-born businessman's favourite holiday, over every other religious holidays, he said.
"National Day is good for me (it makes me) too happy. I'm happy (during Eid) but this is about the Emirates."
He would celebrate the actual day by throwing a big party for up to 85 families and friends from each of the seven emirates, with food and music — and he has a special invite to Shaikh Mohammed, or any other ruler.
"Any people from the Government should come to see my house. I want (Shaikh Mohammed) to see what we're doing here ... I love my country and I love my home."
The 43-year-old, who is two years older than his country, said he had seen an epic rate of change in the UAE. "Everyday changes, change going up not down. I have seen the metro, the Burj Khalifa. Tomorrow I go to sleep and I wake up, this is new, this is new."
Al Baloushi said he was proud to be an Emirati because the country's rulers put the money back into the country, not into overseas countries.
"I want (Dubai) bigger and bigger. In 41 years, same as New York, same as America." Further decorations include an elaborate lighting system, as well as the faces of the Rulers of the seven emirates painted.
"I love the emirates, I'm local, I love my Shaikhs, Shaikh Khalifa, Shaikh Mohammed, all of the Shaikhs."
Al Baloushi's twin 16-year-old daughters and 13-year-old son said the passion was entirely their father's, though they shared his patriotic spirit. "We are proud, too much," Noora Al Baloushi said.
She hoped the decorations would get bigger and more elaborate, until one day it is "like the Burj Khalifa".
Her father said the decorations would remain for up to 20 days after the National Day, only to return next year.

Top 10 places to celebrate the New Year in Bath
Posted: December 04, 2012|
The year has been an incredible one with London 2012 and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee all being celebrated across Bath.
And there's a host of activities planned to mark the end of the year and welcome in 2013 with special New Year deals, packages and events organised by the city's hotels, restaurants and nightclubs.
Plus shoppers will be gearing up to grab a bargain in the post-Christmas sales with Bath often seeing people camping out in order to be the first in the queue to snap up a cut-price deal.
Andrew Cooper, Bath Business Improvement District Manager, says the city is the ideal place to spend the New Year.
He said: "Bath has a wonderful array of shops ideal for all those January sales bargain hunters. Bath is an ideal place to wander, enjoying the Georgian architecture or to have a spa and relax after Christmas.
"With car parks open daily and a Park and Ride service open seven days a week, except on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, Bath is the ideal place to spend New Year."

Michael passed away in the summer of 2004 after a battle with the
illness. His mother, Terrie, created the
foundation to benefit the Winthrop's
Cancer Center for Kids and Pediatric
Inpatient Center, which provided her
family with much comfort and support
during Michael's stay at Winthrop.
"My son, Marc, who also is a cancer survivor, my husband, Paul, and I
feel very strongly about reaching out
in Michael's honor to help others,"
Mrs. Magro explained. "Wherever
Michael can help another child would
make him very happy."
According to AnnMarie DiFrancesca,
Director of Winthrop's Child Life
Program, "In just one year, the Magro
family has impacted the physical and
emotional well-being of many patients
and their families. Both Centers rely
on donations, so their outpouring of
support has been a God send."
Last year, the Foundation, with
the help of a local retailer, donated
two 27" flat-screen TVs, two X-Boxes
and a wide assortment of games and
DVDs for patients and their families to
enjoy. And, the support continues: In
November, the group donated an HP
laptop, HP LCD projector and accompanying software to Winthrop's
Pediatrics Department for use as
teaching aids for the medical residents.
In addition, the group earmarks a
portion of funds raised to purchase
grocery gift cards, gas cards and entertainment gift cards. Transportation to
and from therapy sessions at the
Cancer Center for Kids is also provided
for patients' families, who are in financial need during their child's illness.
"After a stressful day at the treatment center, the gift cards bring such
happiness and joy to these young
patients and their families," said Linda
Sweeney, Manager, Pediatric
Specialty, Cancer Center for Kids.
"Mrs. Magro's special donation is truly
appreciated because it has further
allowed the Cancer Center for Kids to
help alleviate some of the burden the
children and their families carry."
The Second Annual Michael
Magro Evening of Tasting and Giving
is slated for October 3, 2006. Those
interested in supporting the Michael
Magro Foundation are encouraged to
contact Mrs. Magro at (516) 935-4510. For more information about
Winthrop's Child Life Program, call

Zeme and Matrim are both very knowledgeable/experienced Marksman archers in RO, Raven Server.
Here is a good example of how Zeme pulls as many knowledgeable pvp moves to take down Matrim.
i felt this sort of demonstrated how the simple abilities (stuns, damage over time etc etc) in RO can pose an interesting challenge on how to use them to win in pvp.
(some would say runnin behind obstacles is lame but i dun mind.. there's no rules against it and in RvR/pvp you are entitled to run and hide if you want)
edit: the response video: http://youtu.be/8ogcoW8JVVo
in this one Oreo Monster takes on Zeme and they fight without trees lol

No offence, but that has to be the dullest example of pvp I have seen in a long time. Its visually uninteresting and about as dynamic as a stunned brick.
This game makes you grind 30 levels through a world with nothing to do other than spank mobs (no crafting etc) just to take part in yawn. Seriously, there are far better games out there worth more of a players time.

well, RO isn't for everyone. iRO is more focussedon the intellectual aspect of pvp -- it doesn't focus on shiny graphics or crafting (which i find dreadfully dull and pointless since i make so much money i can buy everything i need)... so RO is mainly played by people of a particular intellectual calibre. not for everyone.
the grinding is super fast up to level 30 since everyting can be done by quests. and with xp boosts on Raven it is even faster. most people can get to level 30 in about 4 days to a week. u need that tieme to get to know how your abilities work anyway.

heh well each to his own i guess. pvp in games like DOTA is basically just a clickfest switching among maybe 3-4 abilities (especially DOTA). you just attack as fast as you can click. what i like about RO is that the games powers and abilities are specifically timed and specifically limited. i find i really do have to think carefully which ability do i use and precisely when and where and on whom I use it in a team pvp fight. i am still learning but I find that after every battle, i can see a better way in which to sequence or use the limited powers given.
in games like WoW or SilkRoad Online i find the abilities are given just as a way to make your character do "nice colourful damage effects" whereas many of RO's abilities and limits are specifically derived from DnD (mages even have a Timestop equivalent spell). Maybe that is why i prefer it because I am used to real time pvping in the DnD universe. many other mmorpgs I have played are very flimy in the balancing of their player powers in pvp. So much so that there are sure fire kills and no real challenge to pvp. In RO, pvp can go on for meaningful periods of time if the players are good - and there are smaller chances of stalemate in an open area.
like i daid, RO isn't for everyone and it sounds like you do like other games more. if so that is fine. but personally i still enjoy RO because it is simple to play and feels fast with its low system specifications. I can jump into the game and not worry about finding a group to go raiding in and can find apvp fight or adventure very very fast. i can jump in and out in 20 minutes and know I will have the chance to kill quite a few enemies in that time. WoW took ages to organise raids, EVE was like real work, DOTA was just too cookie-cutter. In RO, iin truth I would not know what pvp situation or environement to expect when I logged in. I ould find a solo lowbie enemy or a major war going on.

From the article: What is Health Care Reform?
Health care reform is a hot topic in the news, as health care costs continue to increase, and millions of Americans remain uninsured. How should the healthcare system in America be reformed? Is a universal healthcare system the answer for improving the U.S. health system? Why or why not? Whether you are a current healthcare professional, future healthcare professional, or simply a consumer or patient of America's health system, share your perspective here.
- Make it simple. I will not participate in any federal government mandate that forces me to buy a product. If they can do this they can force us to do any thing they want! Wake up America.
- —Guest Steve
a new focus
- Perhaps we should look at healthcare reform from the perspective of a healthcare provider. I provide bedside care to patients in a hospital in a large city...I am not a doctor. Daily I wonder how it is that we continue to provide top dollar care to patients who continue to abuse themselves with cocaine and alcohol. These patients cost Americans millions of dollars a month. After receiving heart surgery, they spend several days in the ICU($2,500.00 a day not including any other services). Then it's off to rehab for four weeks at a cost of...God only knows. When they are released and do not receive a bill, we, the tax payers pay for it. What's the point of having insurance when health care is free. If you have insurance and a good job you will pay out the nose for reasonable care. We need to look at who qualifies for healthcare and how much they get.
- —Guest madman
How can you not have healthcare for all
- I am horrified that there is not universal health care in America. English/Canadian and similar are not perfect but people should not go into debt because they are unwell and nor should parents of unwell children go bankrupt/and or have to fundraise simply because they do not have adequate health insurance. Shame on you America Home of the Brave...Home of the Greedy is more like it. You have become the horror of other first world nations who cant believe you dont look after those in ur community who are less fortunate.
- —brita123
Forced to Purchase Health Insurance
- Congress sold out the American Public on healthcare reform. The public didn't want it, yet they shoved it down our throats. Never before in the history of the U.S. has government forced consumers to purchase something. They are forcing us to purchase health insurance. What will they force us to buy next? Does government have the right to do this? I hope the Supreme Court decides no one day in the near future. If you like your job, and you work for a small business, be prepared to loose it as small businesses will be forced cut payrolls because of this bill.It is too burdensome for small business. Furthermore, this bill does NOTHING to contain the cost of drug treatment and escalating pharma costs. It also does nothing to limit frivilous lawsuits that drive up the cost of medical treatment. This bill will be larger than social security, it will drive up the deficit and there is no way, other than higher taxes across the board to pay for it.
Obama is out
- I will never vote for a Democrat again. I changed my party affiliation after Nobama rammed his pseudo healthcare reform through against the will of the people. My husband and I are retired union members. He has a serious health condition and without our prescription plan, his meds will cost us over $800 a month. There is absolutely no protection for retirees in this so called healthcare reform abomination. Believe me, the Democrats and everyone else who is backing Obama are out on their butts in November. WAKE UP AMERICA !
- —sleepswithcats
Employer Insurance too HIGH
- We do need healthcare reform. I am in the medical profession and I cant afford the $522 every two weeks for insurance to cover my family, that's half my wages, paid that can't buy groceries or pay house bills. I agree there needs to be something or employers should have to pay part of the insurance. Have searched online for insurance but haven't found anything close to what we need. Healthcare Reform is needed, but not at the cost of our health.
- —Guest jackson anne
America needs a health care reform
- We should reform our system...We should take care of American people and reform our system. Why not if we spend millions of dollars on wars?
- —Guest Rick Mulet
An easy answer
- It's an easy answer if you read the bill. We have a very good system in place now. People travel from all over the world to use it and benefit from it. Why fix something that isn't broken? I guess it is a power grab. So the government can control your life from conception to death. It's frightening. My comments may seem extreme, but I simply ask, read the bill. If you don't have time like our elected representatives don't have time to read it, then you, your children, grandchildren, etc. will suffer.
- —Guest olivetree
No Easy Answer
- There are obviously no easy answers to this complex question. However, we can start by evaluating some of the major areas of needs: underserved, the uninsured, and other healthcare disparities. We need some type of national health system so that everyone has coverage. Some basic coverage is significantly better than no coverage. Primary care providers need to have greater incentives and specialists may need to get reimbursed less. The government has to intervene at the payer level and reform managed care organizations. The use of health IT can help bridge common gaps that occur in the continuum of care as patients visit several different physicians.
- —Guest Dr. Joe Kim
Reform Needs Doing Right
- There's no question that reform needs to happen; the times feel like the writing on the wall before Wall Street collapsed, except that everybody acknowledges the healthcare system is heading for an iceberg. All I can say, is patients and providers first. Patients, of course, because that's what the system is all about: caring for patients. The well being of America is the raison d'etre of the HC system. Forget that prime directive, and you've got a really big tail wagging a very mangy dog. Providers, because they arguably have the most skin in the game, and are THE interface, on the ground, in the mire, with patients. Any solution that accepts cutting off healthcare providers at the knees as a starting proposition -- while sparing managerial and actuarial support staff -- is a FAIL from the get go. All else, as the rabbi said, is commentary.
- —peter.beckkim
A Multifaceted Fix Warranted
- Yes, our health care is a mess. Yes, it needs to be reformed, but the problems are plentiful and a single payer system is not the answer. Rationing health care is not an answer. Prevention medicine is a huge piece of the repair. Our primary care physicians get paid the least, tend to work extra hard completing paperwork and health care required authorizations, and in order to make a living they must see many patients and very quickly. That means they are unable to spend the time needed to educate their patients to fully understand the impact of their health care problems and the reasons management is so important. Nurses have a large role in educating patients, but we too have less time face to face with our patients and more time completing paperwork. As a case manager I know that what I do can help. Everyone with a chronic illness needs someone to manage their care, help educate them, and distribute information between providers. In addition malpractice needs reform too.
- —Guest Victoria Powell

Dear Bestrag, Projects Lud looks great and I can see a few places where it will be very useful for me. There is one little issue however that's holding me back from making the purchase: When a lightbox is triggered (e.g. in Default Master Template) I cannot see a "Close" button or X. Can this be activated in controls or settings? I always get confused when it's not clear how to close something. Of course clicking outside of the box does close it, but a button would be very helpful. Thanks for your advice, and for putting together this plugin! Your faithfully, Jan.
P.S.: (I hope your site will be up again soon - fortunately I'd bookmarked the Projects Lud demo and from the bookmarks I can access it - unless that's all somehow in local cache...)

Nnamdi Asomugha Will Soon Be Looking For/On a New Team | PlayerPress.com - Sports Commentary, News, Rumors, Blogs, Photos, Videos by Pro Athletes and Fans When he was brought in a couple seasons ago he was the lynch pin for the future; the key to turning a good defense great. Now it looks like the Philadelphia Eagles are ready to say good-bye to cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. He has struggled with the Eagles, and appeared to have trouble grasping the defensive system. Rumor had it that he was going to be cut on Wednesday, but that does not appear to be the case. There are still rumors that he may be let go before the start of free agency on March 12...(for full post follow link above to PlayerPress.com!)

Steamboat Springs provides an awesome family run.
Having invested nearly $30 million over the past five years, Steamboat is a great family destination in winter and summer. The combination of picturesque landscape and child friendly facilities make it a great choice for families.
Why Steamboat Springs for family holidays
- Steamboat Springs offers a lot of activities and events that can be enjoyed by the whole family in winter and summer.
- There are plenty of child-friendly facilities including ski lifts that are designated for kids only and some ski areas that are dedicated for beginner skiers.
- Plenty of accommodation in Steamboat that can accommodate six to eight people.
- Value for money – Steamboat Springs is friendly on the pocket than other nearby ski resorts.
- Great weather – during the winter, there is some great powder, and in the summer it is warm and dry – perfect for family hikes.
Things to do with the kids
- Winter = party on the snow. Well, there are so many fun things to do when the snow arrives, it is just like a party. Take the kids skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, dog sledding or sleigh riding. Try Snow Monsters Kid's Club, where they can explore the snow with its cute animal characters.
- Summer: the snow has gone but the fun remains. Guided hiking, alpine slide, camping, and many more activities are available in the Coca Cola Adventure Zone and Kids' Adventure Club.
- Explore the scenic Steamboat Springs. Go horse-riding, take a helicopter flight or hop into a hot air balloon. These activities are available during the summer and winter.
- Learn a little something. There are several interesting museums in the area, allowing kids to learn something in a fun way. Visit Tread of Pioneers Museum, where your kids can join the scavenger hunt.
- Soak in the hot springs. Let's not forget why this city got its name at the first place. There are several wonderful hot spring pools here, where you and the kids can relax sooth those aching muscles.
Tips and advice for visiting Steamboat Springs
- If you plan to stay for more than 5 days, buy a 5-or-more-day adult lift ticket. That way, your children who are 12 and under can ski for free.
- Similar deal also applies on ski equipment rental. If you hire adult ski equipment for five days or more, you can hire child ski equipment for free.
- Some hotels offer a luggage shipping service so be sure to ask. It will save you money and energy if you take your own gear.

The Bachelor
The Bachelor 16's Kacie Boguskie: 5 Things You Need to Know
You know she's a baton-twirling Southern belle who got the first date with Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor Season 16. You know she really doesn't like model Courtney Robertson, the other girl who got a date in Episode 2. But what else do you know about 24-year-old Southern belle Kacie Boguskie? Find something to twirl, and read on for five tidbits...
1. She shares an addiction with Ashley Hebert
Yes, the woman who last broke Ben's heart shares a common interest with Kacie: Pinterest! In a recent Q&A on the official Bachelor site, she revealed an "addiction" to the site where you can create virtual interest boards. Ashley used the board to share her inspiration for her future home with her Season 7 Chosen One, JP Rosenbaum. Perhaps in a few months we'll see something similar from Kacie...
2. She has three tattoos
Kacie looks like the picture of wholesomeness — the perfect girl to bring home to Ma! — but she seems to have a bit of a wild side. As her ABC bio notes, she has three interestingly-located tattoos — one is on her foot, another on her side and the third is in "another location." Naughty!
3. She hates boring first dates… like dinner and a movie
This is kind of ironic since she got one of the most low-key dates in recent Bachelor history. Kacie and Ben basically wandered around the quiet streets of Sonoma, had a quiet dinner, and then watched their own home movies. According to her ABC bio, she hates it when her date "Talks only about themselves, sticks to the boring questions and thinks dinner & a movie is a good idea for a first date." Ha!
4. She's already a fan favorite
Kacie currently has more than 55 percent of the vote in our poll "Who is your favorite bachelorette from Episode 2?" Granted, the competition isn't exactly stiff, but she seems to be the standout of Season 16 so far. So... does that mean she is a frontrunner for Ben's heart or a frontrunner to be the Season 8 Bachelorette (that is, if Reality Steve's recent SPOILERIFIC reveal is incorrect)? The job often goes to whoever gets the first date of the season, and we know that honor went to Kacie this season.
5. She may be a perfect Mrs. Sunshine
If Ben says no to Kacie and she doesn't get to be The Bachelorette, someone should set her up with Ryan Park of The Bachelorette Season 7. Mr. Sunshine was so happy-go-lucky he ended up annoying some of the other guys in the house (including Ben). Ry-guy did that heart-in-the-sky thing on the premiere when talking about wanting to become a "we," and Kacie did the exact same thing in her intro. They would be disgustingly cute together. Bachelor Pad Season 3's positive power couple? Kip-Ten 2.0? Start the petition now!
How long does Kacie stay on The Bachelor? Read Reality Steve's episode-by-episode spoilers — right or wrong, they have us talking!

The Our Country Deserves Better PAC is committed to defeating the candidates backed by Democrat Senate and House leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, in the 2010 congressional elections. We will support conservative challengers in these election campaigns. We will then turn our focus to ensuring that Barack Obama is defeated should he chose to run for re-election in 2012.
What We Stand For
Our government leaders have forgotten that when they push through giant spending plans that they are spending money that does not belong to them, but the taxpayers. Rampant government spending and attempts at social engineering in the housing market caused the current economic crisis. These were problems created by the politicians in Washington who did not respect the taxpayers best interests. The solution is not to take more of the American people's money – it is rather for government to take less, and allow the American consumer to make his or her own decisions about how to spend THEIR money.
We oppose government bailouts of private corporations. Taxpayers should not be expect to foot the bill for something that they are not responsible for. Similarly, a dangerous precedent and trend is being established where the politicians in Washington are advocating more government control of sectors of the American economy. This is quasi-socialism, and it has been proven to be ineffective in places it has been tried (such as Argentina and Japan). The expansion of government into the private sector is not only ineffective, it is immoral. Individual freedom and liberty is sacrificed more and more when the government tries to tell individuals how to conduct their daily lives and imposes more regulations and restrictions upon them. We support capitalism and the power of individual liberty and we oppose government attempts to quelch either.
We believe America's leaders must understand that peace comes from strength – and that evil (whether it be Islamic jihadism or Russian aggression) must be confronted with toughness and resolve. We support our military men and women and their missions in the War on Terror. We are opposed to the tentative plans currently being discussed that would cut funding of our military. Providing a safe and secure America is one of the few activities that our federal government should be involved in. Instead, some liberals in our government are pushing to take money away from our national defense and use it instead to support more government-run social programs that have proven to be failures in the past. We say, give our troops the funding and equipment they need to do their jobs, and then support them when they are sent off on their missions. We similarly support taking care of our veterans once they have served this nation, providing them with the services, benefits and assistance they need and that they more than deserve.
We believe America must have secure borders and that those who come to this country must have respect for the rule of law. At a time when many national security experts fear the ability of terrorists to sneak weapons and personnel through our porous southern border it is inexcusable that we would not once and for all ensure that we know who is coming into this country and ensure that they have proper permission to.
We believe that this nation must achieve as much energy independence as possible, and expand our options to include domestic energy exploration (including offshore oil drilling), a greater embrace of nuclear power, as well as increased usage of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources. Until we do, we will not only be beholden to foreign energy suppliers in the Middle East, but we will also be transferring untold billions of dollars from the United States to regimes hostile to our nation, some of whom are state sponsors of terrorism.
We believe our nation is best served by judges who are guided by adherence to the constitutional principles that have made this nation great. We are tired of seeing judges show reckless disregard for our constitution, which is the bedrock of American liberty and protection of the rights of the individual, and instead try to impose their own political agenda.

Fitness Tip of the Day: When to Swap Shoes
It's time to buy new runners when you've hit THIS many miles
Most Popular
"Runners, pay attention to your mileage…on your footwear. Don't put more than 300 miles on a pair of shoes—at this point, they'll start to lose support and your body and muscles could suffer some painful consequences. (Think shin splints and sore calves. Ouch!)"
—Stevie Kremer was on the U.S. Mountain Trail Running team this past year and competed in the World Championships in Switzerland. She races—in her still-supportive shoes—almost every weekend.
As reported by Bethany Marzewski.

Pretty Little Liars
What Annoys Lucy Hale?
Every Pretty Little Liars fan can recite the show's theme song and describe nearly every aspect of the intro. But what is it about that sequence that annoys Lucy Hale (Aria)?
Some Little Liars have probably already guessed it. Week after week, Aria ends the intro by "shhing" the crowd … but there's something just a little off about it. Today, Lucy took to Twitter to express her annoyance:
"Hey has anyone noticed how my finger isn't centered when I am 'shhing' the camera in the intro? Yeah, it annoys me too."
We'll admit it: We are so glad she said it, because we've been thinking it for three seasons now! Had you noticed Aria's off-center finger?
Catch the return of PLL Season 3 on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

As of Thursday, August 16, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Todd Welborn, 33, is in his first year as P.E. teacher at Lanier after spending the last 11 years at Collins Hill. Welborn will be coaching the offensive line for the Longhorns, who are in their third year of existence. Welborn is a 1997 Collins Hill grad and got his bachelor's degree in history education from the University of Georgia in 2001. Welborn and his wife, Laurie, have a daughter Olivia, and are expecting their son, Woodson, on Sept. 20. In this latest installment of "Getting To Know ... ," Welborn talks to staff writer Brandon Brigman about leaving Collins Hill, getting into coaching and losing his teeth on the football field.
BB: Was it tough leaving Collins Hill? You were there for so long.
TW: It was. I was there for 11 years. With all the coaching changes that happened, Coach (Alan) Fahring, Coach (Larry) Sherrill, then Coach (Billy) Wells and Coach (Kevin) Reach. Reach was good to me, but I had a chance to grow a little bit more with my responsibilities here. It was tough, though. Part of me, having graduation there, I'll always want to see them do well. Unless we end up playing them a couple of years down the road.
BB: You attended Collins Hill right as that school was opening and now are at Lanier as it's a young program. What are some of the similarities?
TW: The main thing when I was a senior, we didn't really know how to compete. Like have a great competitive practice. I think at the beginning of summer practice there was some similarity to that. The kids have come a long way. There's a lot more competition in the practices going from spring to now. I've been where these seniors are and you want to do well, but don't know a lot of the stuff you need to know well to get in the playoffs. That's the challenge this year, finding out how to get into the playoffs. We didn't get that my senior year at Collins Hill, but shortly after they were right in the mix. I'd like to maybe speed up that process if we could, but we'll see.
BB: This will be the first year of region play for Lanier. What can we expect out of the Longhorns?
TW: Offensively, we're going to try and run the ball as much as week can. We don't have a lot of offensive linemen. The ones we got are physical kids and tough kids and we'll spread it out a good bit. Our quarterback is a good quarterback who understands the offense and knows where the open spaces are. I expect us to control the ball, control the clock, but I expect us to have some big plays, too, because I think we match up well athletically with a lot of the teams we play.
BB: You've been with Coach Wells a long time at Collins Hill and now again at Lanier. You've got to have dirt on him or funny stories to share.
TW: (laughs) Uh, well I might, but I better not say anything about that. We know the line and we know it with each other. He just gave me the nod at midfield, you know what to do, and I do. (laughs)
BB: What kind of player were you at Collins Hill? TW: I was an offensive lineman. Obviously, pretty undersized, being about 5-8 in high school and just over 200 pounds. So I think when I have players like that I get more excited about them than the big guys that don't know how to play real physical yet. I was real small, but I knew where everybody was supposed to go and that's probably why I got on the field because I could tell everyone what they needed to do (laughs). That sums it up right there. I wasn't dominating any blocks, but I knew what to do and we could function with me in there.
BB: Who was the best you played against when you were at Collins Hill?
TW: Oh, man. We played against Brookwood in our Game 10 and the (Ian and Chris) McKnight brothers were there and luckily they only played a half against us because it was Game 10 and they were already in the playoffs. Philip Jones was there, but luckily I didn't play defense, so I didn't have him wearing me out all night. A lot of SEC linemen on that one team there. They ended up winning the state championship and we were just a skid mark on the road for them. But we kept it to 28-7, so I appreciated that. (laughs)
BB: With you being able to tell everybody their blocking assignments, could you sort of sense you might be a coach down the road?
TW: I did. My dad was a teacher for a couple of years, my mom was a teacher, my grandfather was a principal, so I kind of had a notion I wanted to get into education. I don't think I would do one without the other. I don't think I could teach if I couldn't coach and I couldn't coach if I couldn't teach. It's kind of shared for me.
BB: But being a coach, I understand, has caused you some dental problems.
TW: (laughs) Oh, man. Yes, I have had my teeth chipped three times. One was (laughs), I guess Billy told you that? The first time was my first year at Collins Hill. I got excited about a play and ran over and took a helmet to the teeth and knocked out two of them. I had to play scout quarterback when I was coaching JV and got clipped by a shoulder pad and lost the fake one. In baseball, I got hit in the mouth with a ball and lost two teeth again. I had to have them replaced. I only found out what workman comp was on the third one, so the first two were on my bill (laughs). I can't believe he told you that. Actually, I can (laughs).
BB: Your wife must have loved you coming home with missing teeth.TW: The third one happened when we were married. I had bonding and she said "you're going to get a crown." So I got a crown for that (laughs). I bet he told you about the story of me striking myself out in baseball, too?
BB: No, he didn't, but you can tell me that one too.
TW: I was hitting the fungo at Collins Hill. It was a summer league game my first year. I never played baseball and I was helping out Coach (Paul) Pierce. So the players were like "All right coach, we have to hit infield warmup." I said "OK." I didn't really know what to do and I grabbed a bat, swung the bat three times and missed all three times on the throw up to myself. And then we did it another time and I actually hit it over the fence the second time, so I said get off the field. That was in the time span right there (laughs).
BB: He did tell me to ask about your singing and dancing, though.
TW: (laughs) No dancing. But I will sing on rare occasions and I've been told I'm pretty good. My wife likes it when I sing. My daughter doesn't because it puts her to sleep. Yeah, I sang at my wedding (laughs). He's digging up all the dirt, I guess.
BB: Do you frequent the karaoke bars?
TW: Um, no. We did on a cruise ship one time. We took a coaches trip and I think I brought down the house with some Lionel Richie. That's about it.
BB: Did you enjoy the summer Olympics?
TW: I didn't get to watch a whole lot. When summer practice starts, when I get home, I want to go outside with my daughter or something. I watched a couple, but not a whole lot.
BB: College football season is around the corner. Do you get a chance to watch those games?
TW: Oh, I watch college almost every Saturday. We've got my daughter's, she going in a 3-on-3 soccer league, and it starts at 3:30 p.m. I've got a friend at Dacula Youth Soccer and I'm wondering why he scheduled it for 3:30 in the afternoon, but I'll talk about that with him later.
BB: How excited were you when you heard you're having a boy?
TW: Oh, very, and it's the best of both worlds. Having a girl, she's great, a real tough girl, a ton of fun and always in a great mood. With the boy, I'm excited to have that aspect of things, too, and hopefully he'll be as tough as she is. That will be hard to do because she's pretty tough.
BB: Did you go on cool summer vacations?
TW: My family went to Charleston. My parents took us to Charleston and my wife's parents took us to St. Augustine. That's kind of nice to take a couple of weeks in the summer and go do that. It's a pretty good deal to get them to pay for that.
BB: Did you go to the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine?
TW: We went a long time ago. We've gone every year, so those spots we kind of stay away from because we know the deal with it. I need some with all the gray hair I have at 33, I know that.
BB: It's your first year at Lanier, but do you see yourself being here for a long time?
TW: I could stay for a very long time. Knowing the coaching staff and having a lot of comfort with Coach Wells, I don't have the bug to be a head coach necessarily. I look at the hours he puts in and I'm not sure if that's for me. I want to see my family and my parents as well.

Whether it's recycling old ground coffee beans as a makeshift body-scrub from makeup master Michelle Phan, to using simple self tanning moisturiser from Irish Youtube sensation Melanie Murphy our girls are here to help.
Accessorising really is an art. Scary to some and a regularly basked-in element for perhaps a select few, nothing feels as good when it comes to fashion, as accessorising does. And it really doesn't have to be feared. It's just misunderstood.
With the sun shining brightly and models and celebrities dashing to and from the catwalk shows, I spent most of my time during the British Fashion Council's latest London Collections Men SS16 event wondering two things: How much of what was on the catwalk would my husband wear? Will London Collections Men ever be as successful as the women's collections at London Fashion Week?
We can't all be blessed with the Kardashian Khromosones or plucked from the same exquisite gene pool as Victoria's Secret models, so sometimes I like to draw on myself to feel better. But should that compromise my precious sleeping time?
Every summer, New Designers lands at the Business Design Centre in London's Angel. And within it's walls are over 3000 graduate talents from leading design courses across the country. As a past exhibitor at New Designers myself, it's a show I return to each year to witness the new and the next.
Milan Fashion Week is unquestionably one of the most important dates in the fashion calendar, with industry insiders from Anna Dello Russo to Daisy Lowe coming from around the world to grace the Front Row.
Brands can use a whiff of organic essential oil and all the usual shampoo chemicals and still call it organic. This loophole makes it all too easy for brands to 'green-wash' consumers with hair and body care that isn't as natural or organic as it looks.
Apparently this minor change in my appearance is enough to trigger an extremely different reaction from strangers. This is the only explanation I can find for the fact that in the past three weeks, since dying my hair, I have attracted more rudeness and abuse than in the three years previous to that.
Big bums are nothing new and neither is the adoration for them. I've had one for as long as I can remember and am a descendent of a long line of big-bummed women. (You think my bum is big? You wait 'til you see my mum...)
I believe that the global apparel industry can lead change. If companies know how and where their products are made, they can take the steps needed to create fair and safe conditions for workers worldwide.
Sports bags and rucksacks are apparently acceptable because they have "a manly strap" plus they are a bag that "You can carry a laptop, a gun, a pair of football boots or a drill in. It will never have hair product in it."
Now I know as business woman tottering around in heels and as an avid fitness fanatic that my poor feet go through the mill more than most but I never stopped to give them the TLC they deserved. I feel after what I learnt on this day I will do.
We have all heard the phrase, "First impressions count" but you may not realise just how important those first impressions are. Human beings make a judgement about each other within five seconds of meeting. An audience will process how you look and sound the moment you walk onto the stage.
TOPMAN went for a Punk and California surfer look at the beginning of London's Collection Men 2015, with their spring summer 2016 range. London Collections Men, the annual fashion showcase, that brings out the established, as well as emerging new labels from London.
Sexuality and shoes have always been deeply intertwined and a part of this exhibition is stylised with sultry red velvet textures and deep maroon colours. It screams seduction. But the pieces on show demonstrate how sex and fetishism have influenced footwear.
One really interesting point that was raised was today's reliance of technology in the design community. I'm all for networks like Instagram and Pinterest and I can see the value and convenience, but there's something to be said for seeing things with our own eyes.
We know how lucky we are. Especially when we know how many young people are out there, unemployed, reeling from the aftermath of the recession... With the right support and a little bit of self-belief, it is possible to achieve your dreams. We are living proof of that. So let's all make sure the next generation has as good a chance as we did.
I run a start-up fashion label in South London, financed with my own money. An army of unpaid interns would make my life that much easier and would keep my costs that much lower. But I won't do it. Every one of my staff is paid. It is simply the right thing to do.
We are seemingly spoiled for choice when it comes to dating in the digital age, so to help you stand out from the crowd, I will show you how your appearance alone can speak volumes before you even utter the first "hello."

Trash Collection delayed a day
Because of the Christmas holiday Tuesday, garbage collection in Charleston will be off by a day this week. New Year's Day will also fall on a Tuesday, so the city waste refuse department is adjusting its schedule for both weeks. If your trash collection is scheduled for today, plan for it to be collected on Friday, and Friday collection will be on Saturday. The same schedule will happen next week. If you have trash pickup normally on Tuesdays, it will be picked up on Wednesday of next week, and so on.
