URBANA Adding prebiotic ingredients to infant formula helps colonize the newborn's gut with a stable population of beneficial bacteria, and probiotics enhance immunity in formula-fed infants, two University of Illinois studies report.
"The beneficial bacteria that live in a baby's intestine are all-important to an infant's health, growth, and ability to fight off infections," said Kelly Tappenden, a U of I professor of nutrition and gastrointestinal physiology. "Breast-fed babies acquire this protection naturally. Formula-fed infants get sick more easily because the bacteria in their gut are always changing."
The idea is to make formula more like breast milk by promoting the sorts of intestinal bacteria that live in breast-fed babies' intestines, she added.
Prebiotics are carbohydrates that resist digestion by human enzymes and stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
Probiotics are actual live bacteria that are beneficial to intestinal health, she said.
Infants have a special need for stimulation of their gut microbiota because they are born with a sterile intestine, Tappenden said.
"A strong, robust population of microbes in the gut provides colonization resistance, and pathogens can't invade and infect an infant who has that resistance as easily," she added.
The researchers compared the effects of feeding pre- and probiotics with infants fed breast milk and control formulas. They also compared the enhanced formulas' effects in both vaginally and Caesarean-delivered babies.
"The probiotic formula significantly enhanced immunity in formula-fed infants," Tappenden said.
Also, babies delivered by C-section had an especially improved immune response, an important finding because C-section babies are a more vulnerable group, she said.
Why? "Babies delivered naturally are exposed to the mother's bacteria as they travel throug

Also (being an American in europe) I found that they sell plug adapters you can put on the end of your wii power strip to change your fail UK plug to a win US plug, lol. Probably be preferable if you can find one than having to strip and electric tape wires.
My UK power main says 230 on it I don't see the rgae of 110-230 that you see on most power boxes. However, just because it doesn't say it doesn't mean it doesn't do it...anyone try this or know for sure? WOuld I destroy the wii if I got a US wii mains and used that to solve the issue? (I tend to think it would blow it) And I've also seen these PAL to NTSC converter boxes on ebay that claim to convert, but they come from Hong Kong and no one has even talked about that kind of option...so I'm wondering if its a real option...
pal to ntsc converter, Consumer Electronics, Computing, Video Games items at low prices on eBay.co.uk
The Wii has a +12v power supply no matter what country you live in.
No real reason to modify the Wii as most modern TVs, even those in USA will happily display PAL but if you want to remvoe ther risk of US disc updates then you'll need to region modify the Wii.
Some people have used power converters to convert the 110v to 230v and the correct frequency but is it really required as you can buy a transformer AC Power Adapter Cord Supply for Nintendo WII US Plug 100-240V
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Yea, I figured the power was the least of my worries...and now that I know for sure that I can just use a US wii power main to solve the problem that seems best! As for the the TV thing N claims it will ruin the TV ect...blah blah..and that was the biggest thing for me....not knowing with the PAL will really have any problems with a US NTSC TV. The TV I have in the states is a Toshiba with HDTV, conponet video, DVI, (NO HDMI) so I'm hoping that's new enough to be ok.... thoughts?
TEALC yous da best! Thanks
UPDATE: tons on sites want to sell you qty 50 only... but this is the cheapest I found:
Cheap Ac Power Adapter Cord Supply For Nintendo Wii Us Plug 100 240v from upowerbiz.com are offered with safety in mind.Easy Power,Eays Life!

Although President Obama deserves the majority of the blame for the disaster known as Obamacare, Democrats who voted for the legislation back in 2010 should also be held accountable for the law's destructive consequences. At the very least, President Obama issued a non-apology apology last week in response to millions of Americans losing their health insurance plans after stating for years that if they liked their plans, they could keep their plans, period. But House Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, aren't interested in doing the same. More from the Weekly Standard:
"I don't think there's anything for us to apologize for," said [Rep.] Clyburn.
"There is nothing in the Affordable Care Act that said that your insurance company should cancel you," said Minority Leader Pelosi.
In fact, the Affordable Care Act says that plans created after March of 2010 must be cancelled, and the law also gave the administration the authority to write regulations that forced the cancellation of some policies that existed prior to March 2010.
"Did I ever tell my constituents that if they liked their plan they could keep it?" Pelosi asked. "I would have if I'd ever met anybody who liked his or her plan. But that was not my experience."
"As far as the Affordable Care Act is concerned, what the president said was completely accurate," Pelosi said.
As a reminder, "We have to pass the law to find out what's in it." Three years later and we've found out that the law makes millions of health insurance plans illegal under Obamacare, something House Democrats knew when they voted for it.

As of Tuesday, January 8, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
PEACHTREE CORNERS -- The new year has brought a new era for Gwinnett County's latest city, Peachtree Corners.
On Sunday, Mayor Mike Mason and his colleagues hosted an open house and ribbon cutting for its first city hall as well as revealing its logo, tagline and city seal.
"What an exciting achievement for our young city," Mason said. "On the heels of city hall's official inauguration, we're now internationally recognized."
The city is "internationally recognized" -- Mason said -- because its logo, created by Lawerenceville-based Accent Creative Group, received a gold award at the International Davey Awards for design.
"We are so grateful to Accent Creative Group and the citizens advisory committee for this excellent logo," Mason said. "It has set the tone for a truly prosperous year for Peachtree Corners as we move forward into 2013."
More than 250 people attended the event, including local mayors, commissioners and school board members. The day started with a prayer and presentation of the colors by Miles Laughlin, an Eagle Scout who installed two flagpoles in front of city hall.
Once the ribbon was cut, the crowd was able to tour the new building and watch the curtains open for the blue and green tree logo.
"It couldn't of gone better," city manager Julian Jackson said. "It was very exciting. We had a lot of support from the community. I couldn't be more pleased with the day."When the community saw the award-winning logo, everyone was happy about the colors and design, Jackson said.
The only problem is now there won't be anything new to show off, Jackson said."I think we're all out of things to unveil for awhile," he said with a laugh.
Peachtree Corner City Hall is located at 147 Technology Parkway in Suite 200.

It's 3 p.m. Thursday and class is in session at UW-Milwaukee.
Five students, one guest and instructor George Batcha gather around a circular table at the Military and Veterans Resource Center in the UWM student union.
Batcha presents the day's curriculum.
"Big and buggy," he says, dangling a feather and rubber creation. "Perfect for bass."
Batcha dispenses the essentials — vises, bobbins, scissors, as well as hooks, thread, chenille, tinsel, feathers and lead. No computer, no notebook, not even a pencil is in sight.
In the range of academic pursuits, the class could fall into physical education, art or psychology. It defies simple classifications, though. It's probably best described as real life.
It's called Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, a program designed to assist military veterans and active military personnel as they deal with injuries or adjustments to civilian life.
The program includes fly tying, fly casting and fly fishing. It's run by volunteers and offered free to vets at more than 100 sites in the U.S.
The Milwaukee program started at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Administration Medical Center in 2008. The UWM program started in January.
Since then, each Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. military veterans and guests have gathered in the veterans resource center to tie flies.
The group this day includes U.S. Navy veteran Seanyen Lee, 25, of Milwaukee; Army vet Mike Kirchner, 30, of Milwaukee; Navy vet Derek Martin, 24, of Milwaukee; Ryan Menozzi, 22, of Grafton, a student whose parents served in the Air Force and has formed friendships with many at the center; and Marine Corps vet Travis Vliet, 24, of Milwaukee.
Batcha, 48, lives in Fredonia and is local director of the program; he and the other local volunteers are members of Southeast Wisconsin Trout Unlimited.
The fly-tying sessions are free and informal. The vets and guests can come for one class or many, stay for a few minutes or two hours.
None of the participants had tied flies before the program.
"I thought it would be fun to do," Vliet said. "It's a good way to meet other vets, too."
Batcha has each student put a hook in their vise and begin wrapping thread on the shank.
"This is a new fly for you, but it uses the same techniques you've learned," Batcha says.
Batcha has a measured, calm approach to teaching. It helps the participants feel comfortable.
Over the next five minutes, feather, chenille and rubber legs are added. If you've ever done needlepoint or carved wood or dozens of other handicrafts, you know the therapeutic value that comes with the activity. It's certainly true with fly tying.
Soon the class is absorbed in the task.
The resource center provides a meeting place and refuge for the vets. Amid the hustle of a big-city college campus, the office provides a community of people who have shared military service as well as the challenges of adapting to civilian life.
The center has three professional staff and eight student workers. Kirchner, an Army vet and doctoral student, is director of the center.
The space includes a main room with a round table and chairs, a semi-private sitting area with a couch and an office with a door.
Once a week the round table becomes the base for fly tying — and more.
Kirchner is pursuing a doctorate in adult continuing and higher education. His academic focus is on leadership traits and models for military veterans.
"This has been a great addition to our center," Kirchner said of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing. "I feel most peaceful fishing or sitting in a tree stand. This program is going to help vets here, certainly."
Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing was formed in 2004 by Ed Nicholson, a retired Navy captain from Port Tobacco, Va., who hatched the idea while recovering from an operation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
"The goal is simple," Nicholson says in a project document. "You have a guy who lost a leg, he's in physical therapy. We get him out there wading a stream, he gets a boost. Or a guy who lost an arm, we start him casting. He has a chance to use his new arm and actually do something that's enjoyable. It's good physical therapy, and then there's the emotional part."
The program also benefits the large number of vets who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
The national organization distributes fly-tying and fly-fishing equipment to the local programs. Local volunteers contribute gear, time and expertise.
Like 99% of Americans, Batcha never served in the military. But his father is an Army vet and he values the contributions of men and women who serve. When he learned about the program at Zablocki, Batcha began making weekly visits to tie flies with vets. Last year he learned about a possibility to offer the program at UWM.
"It's a privilege to be able to work with military veterans," Batcha said. "To be able to share my love of fly tying and fly fishing with them has enriched my life."
After 20 minutes, each of the students has finished a fly. Round two begins with color variations to suit each tier.
Martin said he hangs a fly he tied in the class from his car's rearview mirror.
"It's a reminder I can do something with my hands," Martin said. "I'm not completely useless."
Batcha echoes Martin's sentiments. He, too, keeps a fly in his vehicle.
"It helps me think happy thoughts," Batcha says.
The program is scheduled to resume over the summer session. Several fishing outings are planned, too.
"I can't wait to see them catch a fish on a fly they tied," Batcha said.
The inaugural semester of fly tying at UWM ended during finals week.
"We all passed," Lee said, holding three newly tied flies. "It might not go on our transcripts, but it's a real good thing."
The mission of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is to assist in the physical and emotional rehabilitation of active military personnel and veterans through fly fishing and fly tying.
Founded in 2004, Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Programs are run at more than 100 locations, including Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Administration hospitals, across the nation.
The program provides instruction in basic fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying and rod building as well as fishing outings. The program is designed for wounded and injured military personnel, ranging from beginners to those with fly fishing and tying experience who are adapting their skills. All fly fishing and tying equipment and fishing outings are provided to the participants at no cost.
The project relies on volunteers from Trout Unlimited, the Federation of Fly Fishers and independent fly fishing clubs to conduct the program.
Southeast Wisconsin Trout Unlimited runs the program at Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Administration Medical Center in Milwaukee and UW-Milwaukee. Fly-tying sessions are typically held twice a week at Zablocki and once a week at UWM; rod-building and fly-casting sessions and fishing outings are held periodically.

I had two five year relationships back to back, I've been single for a while, and now I'm ready to meet my match. I'm on here because it opens up the chances for serendipity. I'm earnest but I also love the absurd. People tell me I look much younger than I am, which I believe is also the result of being silly and playful. I like high and low culture and am up for varied adventures. My ideal mate is smart, interesting, is passionate about work/play, is thoughtful, is fun to be around, is positive, has his shit together and keeps his word. My hope is to find a mate who can create a nice "base camp" with me where we can help support and nurture each other's adventures/pursuits. I find the following things interesting: art, architecture, technology, creativity/innovation, startups, people who fund startups, good design, social entrepreneurship, film, storytelling, dinner parties I have a good job at a big ad agency.

Hi guys
I have serious problem with the updated xorg.
Today I updated my /usr/src and recompiled my kerenel. I also made a big portupgrade -a, and now xorg and related ports are version 7.3. I reinstalled nvidia-driver from ports.
And rebooted. Gues what.... gdm cant start:
gdm[718]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
So I decided to test without nvidia-driver and deinstalled it, then i deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I made new clean xorg.conf with xorgconfig.
But this didnt help, again i got errors:

Re: cant get xorg to start at all
There are two temporary workarounds for this issue:
1) start X.org with --ignoreABI
2) use the bundled "nv" driver
Said so, I hope a new driver will be released soon.
Re: cant get xorg to start at all
but after portupgrade -f xf86-* i got it running with nv driver, i'll wait for updated nvidia-driver.
Re: cant get xorg to start at all
I had the same problems after xorg update. Recompiling x11/nvidia-driver and starting xorg with 'startx -- -ignoreABI' (pay attention to hyphens!) helps. For using gdm or xdm you can read something in /usr/ports/UPDATING ...

Our friends at FedEx are letting us borrow the Sprint Cup #11 FedEx car for an afternoon, and we want you to come out and see it!
Over the weekend, CJ Pony Parts had a customer win the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl, another get back into the running for a NMRA points championship and helped two more get their first Xtreme Street win!
It seems as if Vaughn Gittin Jr. is attracting tons of attention this year, thanks to his amazing skills behind the wheel and his all new Falken Tire/Monster Energy 2011 5.0 Mustang. Recently, he was spotted making an appearance at the 36th Annual Mid America Ford Nationals and as you can guess, he got to show off his skills.
Nothing beats a classic Mustang flying down the quarter mile, especially when it wins! CJ Pony Service manager Bill Tumas got to see that, and spend some time with a great CJ's customer over the 4th of July weekend at the MANDRA "Geezers at the Grove" event.
The Mustang's debut in NASCAR has been anxiously anticipated ever since Ford announced the iconic pony car would be competing on the track last summer. This Friday at the Daytona International Speedway, Ford and NASCAR will make their long-awaited debut of the Ford Mustang as a replacement in some of this year's NASCAR Nationwide Series races.
With the warmer weather, comes the itch to race! Our Service Department manager, Bill Tumas got our drag racing Mustang, B.O.B. back out for this season a few weeks ago and tried to best last year's amazing 11.99@113 on the quarter mile.

The pain of Wayne
The Soccer Saturday experts give their verdicts on where it all went wrong for Wayne Rooney.
Last Updated: 01/07/10 1:37pm
England's World Cup dreams ended in tatters - and here at skysports.com we've asked some of our top pundits to pick through the wreckage.
Our Soccer Saturday panel - Matt Le Tissier, Paul Merson, Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Alan McInally - have taken time to reflect on England's disappointing efforts in South Africa, which ended after a 4-1 humbling by Germany in the last 16.
In the coming days, the panel will look at where it went wrong for Fabio Capello and the players - and what the future holds for both the head coach and for the national game.
But first we've asked them to look at the performance of England's talisman Wayne Rooney.
Hopes were high that the PFA Player of the Year would shine on the biggest stage of all after his best ever goalscoring season for Manchester United, but he failed to find the net in four matches and did not manage to recapture his club form.
Our experts tell us why they think it went wrong for the England striker...
skysports.com: Hopes were high among many of you that this could have been Wayne Rooney's World Cup. What did you make of his performance out in South Africa?
MERSE: We played every game with 10 men because he just didn't turn up. We all sit here week after week on Soccer Saturday saying what a top, top player he is and you know that in any game for Manchester United he's going to do at least one thing that demonstrates that. Before the World Cup we were putting him alongside the Lionel Messi's of the world, but it is these tournaments that separate the good players from the unbelievable players. You can have good days and bad days but even on a bad day they do something, even one thing, that makes you think 'he's a player' - that hasn't been the case and it is hard to put them in the same breath, it really is.
CHARLIE: People are saying Rooney didn't turn up to this World Cup. Well I think he did. Unfortunately his manager didn't turn up with the right ideas to utilise him properly. The thing that is staring me in the face is the lack of change that Fabio Capello was prepared to negotiate with regards to his formation. Rooney's form this season deservedly won him the Player of the Year award and we've seen his whole game develop in the Premier League this season. He has scored more with his head than he's ever done and he has led the line from the front for Manchester United, while still linking up with the players around him. Everything was there, ready to go at the World Cup. However, if you start making Rooney be disciplined in a 4-4-2 system then you're only going to see the Wayne Rooney of three years ago. It was unnecessary and the manager got it badly wrong.
LE TISS: I think it looked like he wasn't 100 per cent. I think he was probably carrying a bit of an injury but he was also struggling to cope with the ball. I've never seen him miscontrol a ball so much or make so many passes which went astray. It really looked like he was struggling with it, which is strange for someone of his ability. He didn't hold the ball up at all and that's very unlike him.
MERSE: He started off badly and just didn't get any better. He must have been injured, because I can't think of anything he did in all four games. Maybe that four-yard pass to put in Steven Gerrard, but other than that, nothing. I'm sorry but something had to be wrong, because I was sat there feeling embarrassed that I have been calling him a top, top player.
CHARLIE: He might have had a niggle here or there, but for me it's nothing to do with fitness. Rooney's proved this season that he can come back and play well with a slight injury. The medical guys would have stopped him playing if there was a problem with him, so I just think excuses like that come out too quickly.
THOMMO: We never saw the Wayne Rooney that plays for Manchester United and I think it was a lot to do with the hype going into the World Cup finals. There was a lot written about the fact that he could get himself sent off and that he had to keep himself in check and make sure he didn't let the country down and I just don't think he could get down to playing his normal game. At Man Utd he's always chasing people down and getting tackles in and is generally quite aggressive on the pitch, but with England he was playing within himself and I just don't think he could function like that.
McINALLY: He had a poor World Cup and that was down to one thing - he wasn't fully fit after last season, simple as that. It had nothing to do with fear or form or anything else. After running the show for Manchester United last season I think he was just absolutely exhausted. End of.
CHARLIE: I don't think it was anything to do with that. I just think the formation and the set-up of the team was wrong. He was easier to mark in that formation, he got frustrated and came deeper, his best link-up man Steven Gerrard was playing wide on the left and they couldn't get Frank Lampard running in behind him because of the system. You can dress it up, but sadly I just think the manager got it wrong.

So I go to an Apple Store in Orlando, Florida, to get a repair done on my MBP (I had a dead pixel in the center of my screen and was still within my one-year warranty). They told me it would take 5-7 days and it was fixed overnight. When I went to pick it up, the new screen was perfect. My visit, although, was sub-par; the employees were pretty rude. I thought I was being Punk'd by the way they were flipping and tossing my MacBook on their wooden tabletops like it was nothing. I am extremely OCD about all of my iDevices and was shocked at how they were treating my laptop. Anyways, this Apple Store was also the busiest one I have ever seen.
After getting to my car, I notice 3 small scuffs on the bottom case of my laptop. I don't go back in because I am already frustrated (I know, big mistake, but you had to have seen this place). I call Apple to complain and the man on the phone tells me I should definitely make a Genius appointment to get it looked at. I decide to try my luck at a different Apple Store, one in Altamonte Springs, Florida.
I drop it off after a Genius cuts me a deal (and after waiting an hour due to a backup in appointments, typical): since there is no proof that the scratches are from an Apple Store since I took my laptop home, obviously (understood, I expected this), I can either get A) a new, free hard shell Speck case for my MB, or B) a new bottom case half off. I have heard more negative than positive about hard shell cases and already like the way my MacBook looks. Plus, I always have it in its sleeve and never even let it sit on a hard surface without the sleeve or some type of cloth in between. So I take the second deal. The Genius tells me it should be fixed overnight, since they have bottom cases in stock. I leave it at the Apple Store, again (sighs). I asked if I could just take the part home and do it myself and this "isn't allowed."
I get a phone call the same day, five or six hours later, with a Genius starting off with "We have some bad news..." At this point, I'm thinking my hard drive was wiped clean. Turns out, they actually do not have any bottom cases in stock and they'll call me when everything's taken care of. So I get a call two days later that it is ready.
I go in to get my laptop and pay the $40 I owe and blah blah blah. I go off to the side to really inspect my MBP this time. I notice a tiny scratch in the brand new bottom case that I just paid for. What?? I took the plastic off myself, how does this happen?! After complaining politely to a Genius and talking and meeting with a manager, to my shock, nothing can be done. Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have paid $40 to have a brand new bottom case if I had known I would still have scratches. They're small scratches, but the fact that I take more pride in my Apple products than Apple actually does is ridiculous.
Just because Apple has the hottest item on the market doesn't mean that customer service should be negated. My face hurts from frowning.

All this complaining about scratches on the MacBook Pro's case has (IMHO) really been blown way out of proportion. I totally understand your desire to keep your MacBook Pro's Aluminum case in pristine condition...but honestly...there's really no way to do this other than using a hardshell case (which is what I do). The aluminum that the case is made of is just too soft...and is just too easily scratched by the most innocent & unexpected of actions.
Please be happy that the main issue (the dead display pixel) was taken care of quickly & painlessly....and VERY quickly (overnight)...instead of 5-7 days.

Take heart in the fact that your Mac will likely acquire many more scratches in it's life, and that there is little you can to to prevent this save putting it in a gun safe and never using it. Perhaps if you smack it around a little and scuff it up a bit, it will become a non-issue and a personal growth opportunity?

With that said, I wouldn't have left the store without them replacing the new undercover with a SCRATCH(!) on it! That's a load of crap!
I remember when I first got my MBP, the left speaker rattled. They first issued me a brand new MBP replacement that was still in the box when I got home. When I got home, it actually did the same thing. When I did some investigating on their production dates, they were exactly the same. So, I took it right back to the Apple store, and had them replace it with another new one(after some diligent talking). This time, I actually had them open the computer themselves, and loaded a couple mp3 songs, as well as some links to youtube to check the audio. Everything seemed fine, as I was expecting because the build date was newer than the one being replaced.
I've learned 2 really important things in my life when it comes to customer service.
1. If you ever plan on being a return customer, and want to be treated well, treat the sales people the way you would want to be treated.
2. If you have no plans at all to ever deal with a certain business again, raise a stink, and get what you deserve the harder way.
Also, my MBP is just about 3 years old, and is scratch free.
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. Marcus Aurelius

However, I'm very careful with my electronics and scratches do annoy me. I work hard for the things I have, and I paid for my MBP on my own, so I like to take care of it. You'd think that would be a good quality for a college student to have -___- (thanks @MacAddict. except it's *her )
All I ask, @XJ-linux, is that the bottom case I paid for not be scratched like my previous one (because of Apple employees' carelessness). I'd scuff it up on my own to achieve "personal growth," but I think, instead, keeping expensive machines in mint condition shows a little more maturity than that. I've had my MBP for 8 months now and the one scratch I've had on it was not my fault. Sorry if that is a hard concept to grasp. I just don't have money to throw away.

Respond to Review of Chamkar
by VeganChu
Review: I'm in Siem Reap for a month and I eat here a lot! Most of the dishes are vegan and all can be made vegan. The staff are really friendly and lovely as well. I took my partner, and my mother and many friends here (none of whom are even veggie) and they said it was some of the best food they'd tried! I've tried and loved: - Fresh spring rolls - the absolute best I've had. Not just carrot and lettuce - they have substance and a delicious coconut dipping sauce - A delicious eggplant coconut dip with baguette and vegetable strips - very filling and yummy. - Amok curry - really great and well flavoured. - Green mango salad - great vegan version of a very popular dish - love it. Safe place to have salads which is so refreshing - Monsoon salad - vermicelli, salad, veggies, coconut/peanut sauce. Amazing. - Tofu stuffed with pumpkin and spices. I loved it - it's a very unique dish with some strong flavours. So basically, it's a great place. Reasonably priced cosidering the quality of the food. Highly recommended - don't miss it!

I give posting on MeFi 5 stars
Comedian Andy Daly is an expert at creating naive, offbeat characters with dark secrets. He has appeared in many places (and this AV Club article walks through them all in an interview with Daly), but now has his own show, Review on Comedy Central, in which his character, Forrest, reviews life experiences, from eating 30 pancakes to divorce to being Batman. All 8 of the episodes so far are now online, the funny/dark/uncomfortable parts really start with episode 3: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Andy Daly is also a comedy podcast regular, and ran a one-off series where he played a different character every week (the amazing one where he plays a German travel writer, with many other comedians as guests, is a good place to start).

Former Ortiz chief of staff, Democratic candidate named in federal racketeering investigation
CORPUS CHRISTI - A local Democratic Party candidate and the longtime chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz are named in a warrant requesting electronic communications, including emails, in the expanding federal investigation of a former Cameron County judge.
Florencio "Lencho" Rendon, who was chief of staff for longtime U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, and Joseph Ramirez are among 25 individuals whose emails with Austin attorney Marc Rosenthal are of interest to federal investigators.
Ramirez has filed to run for chairman of the Nueces County Democratic Party.
Rosenthal was indicted in August on 13 federal charges, including bribery, extortion, witness tampering and racketeering in connection with a separate investigation against 404th District Court Judge Abel. C. Limas.
Federal authorities accused Rosenthal of conspiring with Limas and attorney Jim Solis, a former state representative, to tamper with state and federal court cases in Cameron and surrounding counties during a four-year period beginning in 2005.
Limas last year pleaded guilty to a racketeering charge that accused him of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for favorable rulings in cases involving Rosenthal's Austin-based firm, Rosenthal & Watson.
Solis, who worked cases for Rosenthal's firm, pleaded guilty to an extortion charge.
Federal prosecutors asked for emails related to several cases in Limas' court.
Ramirez on Monday afternoon said attorneys with Rosenthal & Watson represented his family in a mediation related to the 2009 hit-and-run death of his mother, who is Lencho Rendon's sister.
Solis claimed an interest in the lawsuit, according to Nueces County court documents.
"The case was mediated and settled out of court in Corpus Christi and had nothing to do with the Cameron County courts," he said.
He said he has not been contacted by federal authorities and has no knowledge of the case pending against Rosenthal.
Ramirez said he was angry that he and his uncle are being lumped in with others.
"This truly affects my family," he said.
He said he intends to continue campaigning for the party chair.
"This has absolutely no effect on that," he said.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen has sealed the emails at the request of Rosenthal's attorneys.
Rendon, who now is chief executive officer of the consulting firm LR Global, could not be reached for comment.
Ramirez works at LR Global as a special projects director.

Biomechanics A Qualitative Approach for Studying Human MovementAuthor:
Kreighbaum, Ellen, Barthels, Katharine M.
Edition: 4
Pub Date: 1995
Publisher: Benjamin-Cummings Publishing Company
Summary: The first edition of Kreighbaum and Barthels Biomechanics was the first textbook in this field to approach human movement qualitatively rather than quantitatively -- focusing on generalizable concepts that can be used by an instructor, coach, or exercise specialist to analyze several different sports activities with a common overall performance objective. The fourth edition retains this qualitative approach and expan...ds it to include an even broader perspective for movement professionals in general. This includes teaching, athletic training, physical therapy, nursing, movement modification for the differently-abled, the older adult, and fitness and exercise programs. The organization of Biomechanics into modules and chapters gives students a unified picture of anatomy and mechanics and their application to biological structure. Modules present basic biomechanical (anatomical or mechanical) concepts required for understanding and applying the groups of mechanically similar skills presented in the chapters that follow those modules. The modular organization also makes the book adaptable to courses of varying emphasis and topic sequence. Chapters and modules can be rearranged; at the beginning of each chapter and module is a list of those chapters and modules containing prerequisite information. [read more]

The Unfinished Novel and Other Stories
Valerie Martin Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 192pp, £14.99</em
by Nicholas Clee Published
This collection of six stories is rich with the unsparing intelligence that informed Valerie Martin's previous book Property, winner of the 2003 Orange Prize. Property was the narrative of Manon Gaudet, the wife of a slave owner in early 19th-century Louisiana. According to many commentators on the novel, Manon was a cold and unsympathetic figure. In her haughty attitude to the slaves, she was certainly a product of her times; but she was also a prisoner of them, too sharp of vision to be contented, yet too blinkered to be free. Martin never lapsed into the sentimentality of allowing us to make clear, liberal judgements. Similar ambiguities challenge the reader of The Unfinished Novel and Other Stories.
The stories are concerned with artists, writers and theatre people. Some of these figures are talented, others are more workmanlike. The workmanlike ones tend to be the narrators and, because of their painful feelings about people with greater talent, cannot be relied upon. In "His Blue Period", a painter called John recalls his association - friendship would not be the right word - with Meyer Anspach, a flamboyant, vainglorious and more successful contemporary. John covets Anspach's girlfriend, but never believes that he can attract her away. Or does he? Perhaps, out of jealousy, he leads her on, only to abandon her when he meets someone more eligible. That is not the version he presents, but it is what the other characters believe.
Jealousy appears again in the title story, the longest in the collection. Max, a modestly successful writer, is on a short visit to his home city of New Orleans when he bumps into Rita Richard, a former lover. He recalls his dismay, 20 years previously, on finding that Rita had emulated him in leaving the city to enrol as a creative writing student in Vermont - and his despair on discovering how good she was. They had been lovers before Rita, stealing his money, left him for another woman. She used him, he insists. Now she arrives in his life again, beauty departed, overweight and clearly unwell. She comes, too, with a manuscript, a thousand pages long and still incomplete. ("'Go ahead,' Rita said. 'Have a look. You know you're dying to.'") Max returns to Vermont, learning soon afterwards of Rita's death, and of her bequest to him of her novel. What will he do with it? The answer is shocking; but he takes his action "with a sense of purpose and well-being". Martin's narrative switches between past and present, subtly timing its revelations until arriving at Max and the inherited manuscript.
The relationship between fate and the artist is another theme of the collection. In "The Bower", Sandra, a drama teach- er, directs a brilliant young student called Carter in a production of Hamlet. As Carter enunciates the most famous words in the play, "No one in the audience doubted that this was the first time he had ever so irresistibly put the proposition to himself." Sandra and the much younger man have an affair; he also has an insecure girlfriend. These Shakespearean echoes, however, are not Martin's main concern. Carter leaves, apparently for a glittering future; but something terrible happens, and he retreats to a life of obscurity. When Hamlet asked himself whether to be or not to be, his fate was already sealed. Sandra recalls how Carter performed that scene as if with some intimation of the disaster ahead.
Just occasionally, Martin's writing has a routine flavour. The description of a woman as "willowy and athletic" seems formulaic, particularly when another willowy woman features in the following story. But this is a cavil in the context of Martin's large gift: for fiction that insidiously enters the reader's imagination, and lingers.

Teddy Bridgewater had a brace on his arm and a protective boot on his foot after the game. He said that while he was playing, the sore ankle hurt more than the broken wrist. Louisville's star sophomore quarterback didn't know how much he would play against Rutgers and wasn't well enough to start. When it became apparent that the Cardinals couldn't beat Rutgers without him, he decided it was time to go. Bridgewater came off the bench to throw two-second half touchdown passes, and John Wallace kicked a 29-yard field goal with 1:41 left to give Louisville a 20-17 victory against Rutgers on Thursday night in what was essentially the Big East championship game. ''That what you live for, you live for the big moments,'' Bridgewater said. In a game between one team headed to the Big Ten and another bound for the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East handed out its second-to-last BCS bid to a school that entered the league during its first massive rebuild in 2005 and watched its athlet...

With one heat-related death in the city already this summer, city officials are issuing an important warning to parents. Two-year-old Leasia Carter was the city's first heat-related death of 2015. Police say she'd been left inside a scalding hot car for nearly 16 hours by her father, 31-year-old Wilbert Leon Carter, who is now charged with murder. "This is a preventable tragedy, and it should never occur again," said City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen.

Keeping cigarettes out of kids' hands... that's the Baltimore City Health Department's goal, but they need your help. Residents can now report businesses who sell cigarettes to minors. Just dial 311. Health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen says it's important to educate parents and step up enforcement. If caught - businesses could face a $500 fine.
The allegations made in this letter are without basis and do nothing to help our city heal. We are currently in the midst of an extensive review that began before the FOP decided to conduct their own After Action Review. As we work through the process, I look forward to sharing information with all interested parties including the FOP.

'The Walking Dead' Season 4 casts Andrew J. West in mysterious roleAdd to Favorites | The Walking Dead
"The Walking Dead" has added another new actor for Season 4. As the show heads towards its midseason finale, Andrew J. West has been added for a part that will appear in the second half.
Expect the "Greek" alum to stick around for a bit, as well. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that West will be credited as a "guest star" in Season 4, and has the option of being upped to a series regular next season.
West will play a character named Gareth, who isn't found in "The Walking Dead" comics. It's being reported that he'll be a "remix" of an "unidentified character from the series," and that he is a "big presence" and plays an "important character" in the show.
Other major characters from the comics still yet to be introduced in Season 4 are Michael Cudlitz as Abraham, Josh McDermitt as Eugene and Christian Serratos as Rosita. "The Walking Dead" airs Sundays on AMC at 9 p.m.

I finally got around to reading my December Americas HQrse Magazine (the magazine for American Quarter Horse Association members) and sure enough, on page 50 is an article titled True Blue and Fancy Too.
Apparently, Blue Fancy Dan is competing very well in dressage. The article states in the Rocky Mountain region. He was originally bred as a cow horse but tore a muscle and went on to work in dressage. He's only 15.2 HH!
America's HQrse Magazine will be doing a year-long series about Quarter Horses and dressage.
So if you have the non-Warmblood non-Thoroughbred horse and are doing dressage, you may want to check out the articles! I thought it was interesting!

Dr. Bruce Hoffman is, by far, the best Psychologist there is, let alone New York. He is brilliant, greets his patients graciously, and always makes you feel just as comfortable as family. He is incredibly understanding and so easy to talk to. I was struggling with self-confidence issues, my relationship, and with anxiety. Just from my first visit with him, I felt like I conquered each of my struggles. I literally left his office elated and so self-confident. Dr. Hoffman's wisdom instills confidence in yourself and wills you to live in the now which has literally changed my life for the better, and turns your stress into eustress! Dr. Hoffman has changed and saved my life. An amazing real life superhero! I always look forward to our visits because every time, I leave feeling happier about myself and life itself. Thanks to Dr. Hoffman, I no longer struggle with any issues. I could not think any higher of anyone than I do of Dr. Bruce Hoffman. He truly is The Best!

I don't usually go public with praise for my doctors but I feel this is one review that needs to be written. Dr. Hoffman is nothing short of remarkable. I found that with his intelligence and expertise I was capable of alleviating my struggles. His insight into what I was trying to express was nothing short of amazing. I hold Dr. Hoffman in the highest regard and could not recommend a Doctor more.

When i first met Dr. Hoffman i was very uneasy and suffered from extreme anxiety. Fairly quickly Dr. Hoffman made me feel bery comfortable and promised me that from here on my problems would lessen and gradually dissapear . I was shocked at how confident he was bht somehow i believed him. A few weeks later,without the use of medication Dr. Hoffman kept his word. My anxiety lessened and i no longer used my anti-anxiety medication and i was able to lead a normal life. He is a true miricle worker. I would highly reccomend him to anybody with any emotional problem they may be suffering from. Dr Hoffman doesnt treat his patients as patients, but more like family and all this puts him in a category way above any other psychologist i have ever seen.

Stay away, our loving family member is in worst shape after therapy with this man. Dr. Bruce Hoffman refused to respect simple requests from family and went as far as to respond in disrespectful messages through texts. Too many red flags . Do your research into the reputation of healthgrades then you will have a better understanding of why this Psychologist uses them as a platform.
Was this rating useful? 3 [[ userState['ratings'][2432972].votes_count ]]
I highly recommend him. Although I was perhaps a bit stubborn while seeing him, he foresaw everything that would happen to me had I followed his advice. It took me a while to heed him, but once I did my world changed for the better, forever. He maintained a great balance of giving me advice while giving me space to make my own decisions; he empowered me. He is also a wonderful person, and I always knew he truly cared about me and my issues, beyond it just being his job. I always looked forward to our sessions, because I always felt accomplished after them, and I always knew he had my back. If you want a psychologist who sincerely cares for and respects his patients, see Dr. Hoffman.

Renewable and recyclable packaging
Plantic Technologies Ltd. developed the first renewable and recyclable ultra-high barrier packaging format, Plantic eco Plastic™ R.
Building on the success of Plantic eco Plastic™, the new material format combines PET and Plantic biodegradable film to provide a packaging material which has ultra-high gas barrier properties and is made from up to 60% renewable materials.
"Plantic eco Plastic™ R, unlike other barrier packaging formats, can be fully recycled with the PET recovered in the traditional recycling streams with Plantic's barrier material dissolving and biodegrading in the process." says Brendan Morris, Plantic Technologies CEO. "The combination of renewable materials with recyclable materials is unique in the packaging sector and brings together the best of both bioplastics and traditional materials. Plantic eco Plastic™ R delivers for the environment too with up to 60% renewable materials coupled with recyclable PET content. Unlike traditional barrier materials which are difficult to recycle due to the complete mix of plastics used, Plantic eco Plastic™ R provides performance and sustainability/recyclability in a truly unique way."
Plantic eco Plastic™ R trays and roll stock require no investment in new processing or packaging technology and can be directly substituted for existing materials into the supply chain. They are a drop-in replacement for a range of traditional plastics used in modified atmosphere and ultra-high barrier packaging. The rigid trays and roll stock are offered in a high clarity transparent form as well as a variety of colours and even multi-colour formats.
From an environmental point of view the impact of using renewable and recyclable Plantic eco Plastic™ R, compared to traditional barrier plastics are compelling, with every 1000 MT of Plastic saving:
Energy Savings: 5.4 million Kwh of energy or the equivalent energy needed to power 850 homes per year
CO2 Savings: 2,700 MT of CO2 equivalent to planning 300,000 trees or removing 700 cars from the road
