How It Works
Fluorouracil interferes with how cancer cells grow and divide. It affects all areas of the cell cycle.
Fluorouracil is an intravenous (IV) medicine. It usually is given according to a schedule, such as once a week or once every 3 to 4 weeks, but it may also be given continuously over 4 to 5 days. It also is available as a cream for the treatment of skin cancer.
Why It Is Used
Fluorouracil is used to treat many different types of cancer, such as cancer of the colon, rectum, breast, stomach, and pancreas. It may also be used to treat skin cancer.
How Well It Works
Fluorouracil is an effective cancer treatment. But the type of cancer you have and how widespread it is in your body affect how well this medicine slows or stops cancer growth.
Side Effects
Fluorouracil can cause many side effects. How severe the side effects are depends on how often you are treated and how large a dose of this medicine you receive. Common side effects include:
- Mouth sores, a sore throat, and trouble swallowing.
- Diarrhea and stomach pain.
- Decreased white blood cell counts. Red blood cell counts and platelet counts can also be reduced.
- Sun sensitivity and easy sunburning. Be sure to wear hats and sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30, and stay out of the sun as much as possible.
- Watery eyes.
- Darkening of nail beds.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Fluorouracil should be given only under the supervision of a medical oncologist.
Fluorouracil is used to treat many types of cancer. But how well the medicine works depends on the type of cancer and how widespread it is.
Fluorouracil is often given with another medicine called leucovorin. This can increase your chance of severe side effects.
Fluorouracil can cause birth defects. Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking it.

Just when you think that the situation in Syria couldn't get any worse… it does. The conflict is spilling over Syria's borders and badly affecting its neighbors.
The United Nations Refugee Agency is reporting that the number of Syrians who have registered as refugees (which allows them access to aid and services) has now passed the 1 million mark. The actual number of refugees, many of them unregistered, is higher and millions more are internally displaced within Syria. The refugee flow is growing all the time with at least 7,000 people leaving the country every day. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees warns that "Syria is spiraling towards full-scale disaster"–and it's not just Syria that is affected. As the New York Times notes:
Around 330,000 Syrians have sought shelter in Lebanon and close to 320,000 in Jordan, the refugee agency reported, with more than 185,000 in Turkey, 105,000 in Iraq, 43,500 in Egypt and around 8,000 across North Africa. Others have fled to Europe, it said.
To illustrate the strain this influx has imposed on Syria's neighbors, the refugee agency said the population of Lebanon has swelled by 10 percent, Jordan's energy and water capacity as well as its health and education services are stretched to the limit and Turkey had spent $600 million building 17 camps to house arrivals and more are under construction.
Meanwhile, two violent incidents in recent days show further spillover. On Monday, 40 Syrian soldiers who had sought shelter in Iraq and were being returned to Syria via Anbar Province were slain by unknown gunmen. This shows how the Syrian insurgency, led by Sunnis, is melding with the existing Sunni insurgency in Iraq, which is being enflamed by Prime Minister Maliki's sectarian Shiite tendencies. And as if that weren't bad enough, now comes news that Syrian rebels have abducted 20 UN peacekeepers from the Golan Heights.
Amid this intensifying horror, what is the Obama administration doing? Well Secretary of State John Kerry has announced that we will send non-lethal aid to the rebels, and he has expressed support for allies—but not, for mysterious reasons, the U.S. itself—sending arms to the rebels as well. The CIA is also reportedly providing some training to some rebels in Jordan.
To say that this is inadequate is merely to state the obvious. The Syrian mess is turning into the biggest foreign policy debacle of the Obama administration. Its hands-off policy is proving just as destructive as the hands-off policy that the George H.W. Bush and the Clinton administrations took in the early years of the bloodletting in the former Yugoslavia. Unfortunately it is unlikely that international peacekeepers will ever be dispatched to restore calm in Syria as eventually happened in Bosnia and Kosovo because Western nations are so wary of intervening in another Muslim country.
But as the Balkans interventions proved, it is still not too late—even after more than two years of war—for Washington to lead a relatively low-risk multilateral intervention that would attempt to bring the fighting to an end. In the case of Syria the only realistic option is to hasten Assad's downfall through the provision of weapons and training to the rebels and the use of Western airpower to create a no-fly zone and to assist the rebels with close air support in their operations. Those options may not seem very palatable (especially at a time when sequestration is badly hurting military readiness) but unless the administration changes course, the spillover and slaughter will continue to worsen.

Transcription is the process of writing down music by identifying aurally the notes and gestures being played. It is a useful exercise for ear training, and is also commonly used by jazz musicians to learn improvised solos that may never have been previously notated.
Another use of the term refers to rewriting a piece of music, either solo or ensemble, for another instrument or other instruments than which it was originally intended.
The term "arrangement" is somewhat interchangeable with this usage, although transcriptions are always faithful adaptations, whereas arrangements can change significant aspects of the original piece.

This is a hotel, not a hostel. It is certain floors of cheaper rooms in a 2 or 3 star hotel. Clean room and showers. You can see the park and part of the castle through the window. You don't get the warmness as in hostels. But it's relatively cheap and comfortable. Very quiet during my stay. I think I was the only one on that floor.

Liverpool averaged more shots on goal per game than any other top-flight team in Europe in 2012-13, statistics have revealed.
The Reds tried their luck on average 19.4 times in each Barclays Premier League game, putting them ahead of Real Madrid who managed 18.7 efforts.
Juventus (18.4), Tottenham (17.9) and Manchester City (17.4) complete the top five.
Liverpool were also among the teams to have hit the woodwork the most, with their tally of 16 level with Manchester United, Everton and Bayern Munich. Only Barcelona (25), Atletico Madrid (21) and Real Madrid (19) struck the frame of the goal more throughout the continent's top leagues.

Mountain biking at night can provide a rush you just can't get during the daytime. For some busy enthusiasts, nighttime may even be the only available time to ride, particularly when daylight hours are in short supply. In either case, nighttime mountain biking requires extra safety precautions and different gear, including LED lights, that you normally don't need for riding during the day. Following are suggestions for what to bring and how to trick out your mountain bike for night riding. (more…)

Tips for Choosing an LED HeadlampSaturday, May 28th, 2011
LED headlamps are one of the latest accessories to gain popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and those who like to work with their hands. These headlamps come equipped with light emitting diodes, or LED lights, which provide a brighter light than traditional lights used in headlamps. LED lights use less battery power than traditional flashlights, thus providing significantly more hours of light. Consequently, an LED headlamp is 90 percent more efficient than one that does not use LEDs.
Choosing LED Lights for BicyclesWednesday, April 27th, 2011
As people are increasingly choosing to rely on bicycles as their primary mode of transportation, more and more cyclists are now sharing the road with cars. Because bicyclists are more vulnerable to injury than motorists, it's important to practice proper bicycle safety in order to remain safe and avoid life-threatening accidents.

LED Flashlights for PhotographyFriday, December 10th, 2010
Flashlight photography is a technique that many photographers are driven to these days. The use of flashlights in photography opens a new door of creativity for the photographer. When done correctly, LED flashlights can mimic natural lights and create effects not possible in Photoshop. Also, flashlight photography can be used to "paint" light across an image. This is done by using your camera's long shutter speed setting and sweeping the light from a flashlight across the scene. In order to take advantage of this kind of photography you will need the right kind of cameras. (more…)
LED Lighting Ideas for Holiday EntertainingMonday, November 15th, 2010
When hosting a holiday gathering at your home, lighting is an easily overlooked detail, but it shouldn't be! The lighting you use can be one of the most important details in setting the mood you want for your gathering. LED lights, which are more energy-efficient, longer lasting and cool to the touch (reducing the risk of fire) are a far more attractive option than the incandescent lights of yesteryear. Because of the benefits of LED lighting, there has been an increase in demand, and there are now numerous types of LED light available for purchase: LED light ropes, submersible lights and even traditional holiday lights made with LED bulbs in various colors and sizes.

Charlottesville Woman Pleads Guilty To Selling Bath Salts
Lois McDaniel Faces Prison Time
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA -- A local woman, who was indicted in February on drug distribution charges, pled guilty this morning in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Lois Lee McDaniel, of Charlottesville, Va., pled guilty this morning to one count of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute controlled substance analogues 3,4-Methylenedioxymethcathinone (MDMC), 3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), and 4-Mehtyl-ethylcathinone(4-MEC), commonly referred to as bath salts. Bath salts are mixtures of many different chemicals, including those that resemble cocaine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy
"The abuse of bath salts, especially among young people, is on the increase in Central Virginia. These substances are highly addictive and extremely dangerous. They are also often illegal, as demonstrated by the prosecution of Ms. McDaniel," United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said today. "The Department of Justice will continue to work with both law enforcement and the health care industry to raise awareness of the dangers presented by these bath salt compounds. We must attack this problem with both strong enforcement and education about the dangers posed by this emerging threat."
Today in district court, McDaniel, the former owner of the C-Ville Video Store, admitted that she, and others at the store, sold bath salts from behind the counter. McDaniel bought her MDMC, MDPV and 4-MEC from a source in New York.
In all, McDaniel admitted to distributing more than 200 grams of bath salts between April 2011 and August 2011. The defendant also admitted that she knew individuals were using the bath salts to get high and that she should not have been selling them to customers. C-ville Video Store became so widely known for distributing bath salts that there was often a line of bath salt users waiting in line outside the store prior to opening in the morning.
At sentencing, McDaniel faces a maximum possible penalty of 20 years in federal prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000,000.
The investigation of the case was conducted by Jefferson Area Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant United States Attorney Ron Huber, Special Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Platania and University of Virginia third-year law student Leanne Marek are prosecuting the case for the United States.

If Alcoa does what Alcoa usually does, head coach Gary Rankin will become the state's all-time winningest football coach this season.
Rankin, who started coaching at Smith County in 1982, has compiled a career mark of 356-69. That total currently ranks him No. 2 as he passed Carlton Flatt with last year's Class 3A state championship win over Christ Presbyterian Academy.
At the top of Tennessee's list is Ken Netherland, who recently died at the age of 74. In his 50-year coaching career, Netherland amassed a record of 368-131-3. He coached at Germantown, leading it to the Class AAA state title in 1983, winning by a 37-6 decision over Jefferson County ? which needed a fourth-quarter rally to survive a first-round encounter with Dobyns-Bennett.
"Ken Netherland was a great coach, and a great man," said Rankin on Monday. "He affected a lot of kids."
Rankin needs 12 wins this year to tie Netherland and 13 to pass him. For some programs, that would be a stretch. But for Alcoa and Rankin, not so much.
In his previous eight seasons with the Tornadoes, Rankin's teams have won 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 8, 11 and 14. So if the 2014 version is traditional, Rankin has a good chance of surpassing the legendary Netherland.
Rankin said his impressive win total is the result of a combination of factors.
"I've been fortunate to be in a couple of football-town situations," said Rankin. "I've been in good communities, had good administrations, and been able to hire good coaches ? the whole ball of wax. I've been in places with good players, but a lot of places have good players."
Rankin actually did not hit the ground running. His first team at Smith County went 0-10, a perhaps unsurprising result considering Rankin inherited the state's longest losing streak at 18 games.
"I took the job because it was my home town (Carthage)," said Rankin. "I had been away from my parents for about 10 years, and I wanted to get back home.
"The football program was one of the worst in the state. I had no idea what would happen over the next 30 years."
Rankin was 29 years old that first season, and was chomping at the bit to guide a program. Becoming a head coach in the early 1980s was a more difficult proposition than it is these days simply from a numbers standpoint. It was an era where many football coaches settled into their jobs and stayed for 30 years or more.
"It's not that hard now to become a head coach, but then it was hard," said Rankin. "When I took over, I had no thoughts of winning state championships. I just wanted to get the program turned around."
Rankin did just that, leading Smith County to a pair of 10-0 seasons in 1988 and 1989. He caught the eye of the Murfreesboro Riverdale administration, and was hired to lead the Warriors' program.
"When I first got there, football wasn't important," said Rankin, whose first team went 4-6. "We established importance in the town and the community. Football has to be important in the community."
Rankin led Riverdale to four state titles, and has added six more since moving over to Alcoa prior to the 2006 season.
"A lot of great coaches haven't won a single state championship," said Rankin. "But they are still great coaches. I would want my kids to play for a guy like (Dobyns-Bennett's) Graham Clark. There are fewer and fewer coaches like Graham Clark or (former Sevier County coach) Steve Brewer.
"It seems like guys who are getting in it now are 'win at all costs' and 'get it done right now.' I don't know if those guys will stay in it as long as I have. And it's tougher now for some places because the community isn't as involved."
Rankin said the success matters, but not to him so much individually.
"The win total doesn't mean a lot to me personally, but I think it does to the school, the assistant coaches, and the kids we've worked with," said Rankin. "Football is not a one-man game. I've never made a big thing about winning. It's just a record that one day somebody will break.
"You watch us practice and you will think you're watching a team that hasn't won two games in a year. We keep them hungry, and stay on an even keel. That's one reason we've had consistency."

NordhUnter13 Liked Your Status
A good friend of mine and I recently had an interesting conversation. The pulse of the topic involved aging, and the growing distance between ourselves and some of the friends we've had for over a decade. People do change obviously, and isolation over the years between individuals in numerous relationships is as inevitable as getting older itself. However, we realized that some of our most recent friendships that had been forged in MMOS have in many ways become stronger than the relationships we've had with people we've known for more than a third of our life.
New MMOS promise the world to players, and like rats in a maze of boring quest hubs we right click feverishly for any new information to affirm that THIS game will change everything. New combat systems, an absence of grinding, and an array of other things with the predictable quote from a passionate fan, "this isn't your dad's MMO!" If you're smart, you'll be weary of such things and remain cautiously optimistic as I like to be. They are doing something new though. To the food pellet dispenser I go, teething at the metal tube for more information on something so simple; integrated social networking.
Ok, obviously there are things to be excited about that are a lot more important than creeping your guildmates photos. Woah! I can't believe NordhUnTer13 is a woman! I get that, and trust me I am just as interested in gameplay and conquering the Cyrodiil as you are. But, how often do we hear the empty promises of a game "shaking things up" only to find that it's just a dressed up version of something else? I think Zenimax Online has truly done something innovative here, and it really opens a world of possibilities that can only enhance our gameplay experience. In this innovation, Zenimax Online has impressed me. Zenimax Online has made me believe it might not just be a bag of winded promises again, but a company that is truly thinking of how to make a successful game for today opposed to copying another game of the past. Matt Frior told MMOhut in a recent interview "if you're a guild and create a group on Facebook, you can import it directly into the game". Start filling your ranks now. A forward thinking developer at the helm of one of my favorite IPs? Don't mind if I do!
Do you know what I don't like doing? Registering on my guilds forum and posting stuff that 2 people read. You know what I like even less? Paying a hosting fee for a site that no one ever bothers to check. Forcing guildmates to register on a deadsite just so it can fall apart months later. I know that there are successful guilds that have functioned this way for years, and will continue to. There are more that do not succeed this way for numerous reasons, but this will certainly make it easier. Welcome to sanctuary MMO floater, those days are over. This isn't your dad's MMO. A maintained Facebook page can function just as effectively. You don't need to pay that 4.99 a month to get the calendar add on to schedule your events. Just create a Facebook event. Raid time changed suddenly? Tweet it out from your guild's twitter. People have eluded that Zenimax Online's bold move to integrate social networks in TESO may actually be counterproductive and it will keep us within our bubbles of awkwardness. Contrarily I believe this will force people to forgo their social armor and become close with people they'd never know as friends otherwise. It has always been my opinion that a strong core of players within a guild or group can keep a game going well past its prime. If only because you want to know what your buddies are up to. Zenimax Online is hitting the ground running.
Some people lead private lives and don't want every weirdo in their guild to intrude on this privacy. Nor do I want that weird husband and wife that plays MMOs together liking my status updates about potty training my puppy or liking the pictures of that amazing lasagna I made for my girlfriend. If this concerns you, why not create a Facebook account solely for the purpose of TESO? You'll still get an avatar (sort of), and you can still disagree with various noobs in threads (more or less). I implore you to let that part of yourself go however. For the man or woman that says, "I don't have a Facebook, and I don't plan on getting one". Cool story. Yes, there is no point. Yes, its sole purpose is for selfish validation of your thoughts or activities. Come on though, I know you post in forums. What's the big difference? Facebook is "lame" and "uncool"? Like I said I know you post in forums.
To be honest with you, you really aren't that interesting. If you were that interesting, you wouldn't be playing this game. You'd be parachuting in a tuxedo into an undisclosed location with a case of champagne preparing to board a yacht full of other interesting people such as yourself. My point is every person is here for the same reason you are; to play this game. I understand that as MMO gamers we can be a crotchety bunch, but this game isn't just being made for us. This game is being made for casual players, new players, and on the fence players. What better way to get more people to play than connect them instantly to everyone? Most people use facebook, and they are comfortable with it. Why not cradle them into the obsession of TESO by giving them an aspect of something they are familiar with? They have my money already, and they know that. They have almost every hardcore player's money. They know that too. Getting other people's money is the challenge. Offering something so familiar to the new player is rather genius. There will be hordes of console gamers coming in droves to TESO. This world though familiar, will be foreign and intimidating. They will be so paranoid of upsetting the basement dwellers; they will just go on being uninformed players all the way to the level cap when they inevitably cause a dungeon wipe due to lack of experience and guidance. They know what Facebook is though, and they know how to use it. So do you. Change is coming. This change is necessary. It is the age of the failed game, and Zenimax is boldly trying something new. Don't fight it, embrace it. I look forward to making more friends, and creating new relationships that otherwise might not have formed so easily. There's no reason why you shouldn't look forward to it too. And yes, I am lurking photos of your sister on Facebook while dwelling in my basement.

Like Detective Inspector Jack Frost of the A Touch of Frost series, Chief Inspector Morse is grumpy. He's what I would call a curmudgeon. But, somehow, we love him. He loves classical music…especially opera, drives his classic Jag, loves the ladies but is a confirmed bachelor, and most of all loves his beer. Along with his trusty and more passive sidekick, Detective Sgt. Lewis, Morse travels about the Oxford area solving crime and frequenting pubs. The crimes and cases are all top-notch…almost perfectly constructed. Each episode is filled with so much information and so many details that if you blink, you miss something. The chemistry between Morse and Lewis is strong…Lewis is less cultured and more agreeable and Morse is extremely set-in-his-ways. But, the two of them make a great crime-solving team. And, like some shows, Morse does not "instantly" solve the crime…like some shows that have the detective be almost psychic or superhuman with their investigating skills. Here, the cases are all solved methodically and with great effort. Sometimes, it's nice to know that even a great detective gets stumped.
Posts Tagged: police
These are pretty conventional mysteries — you have the brooding, troubled inspector and the quick-witted side-kick, who this time happens to be a woman. It's like Sherlock and Watson for the 20th Century. And, like most of the Holmes' mysteries, these are intelligent without being too convoluted. The pacing is not more than the audience can handle…which for me is very important in murder mysteries where there are sometimes are too many characters to keep straight. Here, all of the stories begin with the murder/crime and then the police come in…it works to set a certain standard. Also, the thing that sets this one apart from other detective shows is the chemistry between Lynley and Havers. There are obvious times of attraction but they never seem to be at the right moments. The "do they/don't they" question adds even more "mystery" to these already strong stories.
A crusty police detective who is close to retirement age relocates to a small North England town from London, where he still continues to work as a police inspector and gets a new partner instead of retiring. One of the reasons he cannot retire is that he is continually haunted by the brutal murder of his wife…back when he was living in London. Set in the 1960s, the George Gently character seems, at first, like all of the other grumpy, old British police detectives and this will be like all of the other British police series…ala Frost, Morse, etc. But, Gently has an edge that carries through all of the episodes and makes this one stand out among the crowd.
Dexter is one of those GREAT stories that you just cannot seem to stop watching. Even when it gets a little too gory for my taste, I find myself unable to turn the TV off. Most of this, I would say, could be attributed to the writing. All of the characters are VERY well-structured. Not that this show is realistic…which is really is not…but at least the characters (for the most part) are. Dexter himself, played by Michael C. Hall, is a loveable loser kind of guy…at first. And even when he shows us his darker (MUCH darker) side, we still see him as the perfect underdog. I mean, the guy kills people…yes, only BAD people…but still. He's a killer. He's serial murderer. And I still find myself drawn to him. Go figure. Season two seemed even sharper (no "knife" pun intended) than the first…so I have high hopes the remaining seasons of this show will continue to be top-notch.
It took me a little while to get into my first season of Cracker Mysteries but once I did, I couldn't stop. Robbie Coltrane is simply perfect as the highly-flawed psychologist, Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald. I mean, he's smart and good at "seeing" into people's minds and souls to help solve cases, but this guy really has a messed up life. He drinks too much, he gambles uncontrollably and his marriage is usually on the rocks (because of the gambling and drinking). But, somehow, someone that is that messed up can really pull it together when it comes to solving crimes. And he not only is able to help the police find the right man or woman, but he also helps the criminals themselves by being able to help them work out their demons. After all, Fitz knows a lot about inner demons…he has more than his fair share himself.
For a British police show with a female main character, comparisons will always be made to Prime Suspect, the Helen Mirren series that has won over audiences all over the world, in addition to accolade after accolade for Ms. Mirren. In Blue Murder, DCI (Detective Chief Inspector) Janine Lewis is tough (like Mirren), has problems with her supervisors because she's a woman (like Mirren), and also has issues controlling and getting respect from her staff because she's a woman (like Mirren). What makes Lewis stand out above the other detective shows, including Mirren, is that this female detective is a single mother, which gives her even more complications and more of an edge than Mirren's character. A great series that is for anyone who likes cop shows…with either male or female leads.
An excellent movie about the methodicalness and determination of the police in a small town in the Soviet Union in the 1980s in trying to track and catch a serial killer. Based on a true life case, this film shows the brutality of the USSR at the time and how, because of limited resources, detectives often found themselves undermanned and overworked. An excellent cast rounds out this fabulous film about hunting down a killer and how slow and frustrating a process it could be.
One of the best endings in film…not the best movie, per se…or even the best thriller. But, the ending makes the movie payoff. You really do not see it coming…at least I didn't. Doris Day shines as the tortured wife of an overly hardworking businessman. She begins hearing voices and then starts getting crank calls. Is she making this up to get more attention from her husband? Is she really in danger? And if so, by whom? Being a huge Hitchcock fan, I?m always skeptical of thrillers that try to copy the image and style of the Master of Suspense. Thankfully, I feel this one is not something Alfred Hitchcock would have disappointed with.
Clint Eastwood directs and stars as a former violent cowboy who turns over a new leaf. Now a father and a widower, he finds out whether he still has that violent streak. Eastwood and a friend (Morgan Freeman) decide to collect a bounty in a corrupt town, run by a detestable sheriff (Gene Hackman). Called a "psychological" Western, this film won Eastwood his first Oscar for Best Director, in addition to snagging Best Picture and a Supporting Actor Oscar for Hackman.
A poignant drama about a wife who cheats and a husband who finds out. This simple premise turns very dark and deadly, when the movie really takes off and sets the audience on an emotional roller coaster. Unfaithful shows what the pain of an affair can do to a couple…how both the betrayed and the betrayer feel toward each other and toward themselves. The performances of Richard Gere and Diane Lane as the seemingly happy husband and wife are stunning…nothing they say or do seems overly forced or too overdone. The scene on the train after Lane first has her extramarital encounter showcases what a brilliant and underrated actress she really is. The ending leaves everything up in the air, which I did not like at first but after more thought, I came to see that leaving things open is best. Emotions do not always have easy answers, so then why should a movie with so many emotions end neatly?

The Syrian civil war is not only continuing to claim a ghastly toll within Syria, with a continuing regime assault on Aleppo–it is also now sucking Lebanon into the muck too. Shiite clans within Lebanon are kidnapping Syrian rebel fighters who are said to be holding their clansmen prisoners. In retaliation Lebanese Sunnis are threatening to kidnap Lebanese Shiites. Thus Syria's instability is upsetting the delicate balance of power within Lebanon, raising concerns that, two decades after the end of its bloody civil war, which claimed 100,000 lives, there could be a recurrence of fighting within Lebanon.
This is yet another indictment of the understandable but misguided hands-off policy the U.S. and its allies are following in Syria, where we appear to be content to stand by and let the fighting take its course–much as previous administrations did in the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. The terrible consequences of our inaction can be measured not only in regional destabilization but also in a growing vacuum of power within Syria which extremists are trying to fill. Former journalist Bartle Bull, who recently visited Syria, offers this revealing exchange with a rebel commander:
Mohamed said he would happily accept help from Washington. "We need everything." He is not interested in help from Al Qaeda. Still, America's refusal to get serious about military aid provides the extremists with their only opening. "I can take Al Qaeda's money," another irate commander told me. "Is that what you want me to do?"
It would be a tragedy if this and other rebel commanders were in fact driven into Al Qaeda's camp by neglect in the West. It does not have to be this way. As Bull writes: "Providing the rebels with as few as 500 Stinger missiles and 1,000 tank-busting R.P.G.-7's could potentially cut the conflict's length in half. And grounding Mr. Assad's air force, keeping his tanks off the roads, and neutralizing his command-and-control would be likely to bring him down within a couple of months."
I would hesitate to provide sophisticated surface-to-air missiles to the rebels, given the danger that they could wind up in the wrong hands. But we should provide better anti-tank weapons and, in lieu of Stingers, the U.S. and its allies should simply declare a no-fly zone to ground Assad's air force. As Bull notes, this, along with some targeted air strikes of the kind that NATO mounted in Libya, could hasten Assad's ouster and speed attempts to reimpose a semblance of authority in Syria. Allowing the conflict to take its course, by contrast, virtually guarantees that it will foment dangerous extremism inside Syria and out.

Teen Mom
What Ethnicity Is Jo Rivera? You Asked, We Answered!
While we often hear Jo Rivera speaking in Spanish on Teen Mom 2, his ethnicity has always remained a bit of a mystery.
Luckily, Kailyn Lowry's baby daddy took to Twitter to clear things up — or well, at least he revealed his roots by talking about his son!
"We still got a healthy Puerto Rican child," he said to a follower, tagging Kailyn in the post.
And on top that, their son, Isaac, is starting to speak Spanish around the house, too! Jo and Kail are definitely keeping the culture alive.
Did you know Jo that is Puerto Rican? Tell us below!

When it comes to pink knits I must say that one must choose to tread lightly on the subject - some absolutely hate it, some love it. But to me, it is the right hue of the pink color that can tilt that pink sweater into baby territory or come out an absolute winner for your outfit. I personally think that the pinks being on the cooler side are certainly a better choice. It is not too orchid either. Not to mention proper styling that actually goes a long long way and inspires. It makes us want to dare wearing pink! I have collected some fun street style spotting of pink sweaters in the wild and most fun cuts and pairing.
And just recently the ongoing collections for Pre-Fall 2014 have showed quite an amount of pink as well.
So what do you think? Is it fleeting or a growing trend? Would you need a pink sweater (or maybe even a coat) for your wardrobe?

Last night, we hunkered down for the hurricane-apocalypse, sleeping in the hallway to get away from all the big windows. I think despite this being my first hurricane, I dealt with it quite well:
Of course, it was impossible to explain to the cats what was going on, but seeing us sleeping on the floor next to bottled water, their carriers, and several go-bags, they began to get slightly curious and unsettled:
Irene didn't hit us as hard as we thought it would, though there was some flooding in the neighborhood and reports of several cars crushed by fallen trees. Oh, and the part about being stranded on the island of Brooklyn/Queens/L.I. because all the public transportation was shut down and the bridges were closed; that part I took especially close note of, filing it away in my brain in case of, well, I don't know...maybe...
Special thanks to my husband, who played Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows non-stop during this entire event.

The France goalkeeper, who helped his country reach the World Cup quarter-finals, has been linked with a switch to big-spending PSG in his homeland.
But Lloris is simply looking forward to his holidays and recovering well from his summer exertions, ready for the forthcoming season under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
When asked if he should still be at White Hat Lane next season, he told reporters: "Yes, I should be. I don't want to speak about my situation now.
"I need a few days to recover and after that to relax, have a good rest and come back for next season.

North of the Mason-Dixon line, the Industrial Revolution of the mid-19th century drew increasing numbers of women out of the home and into the factories. In the agrarian, antebellum South, no such exodus occurred. Many Southerners perceived the forces of modernization - including the early rumblings of the women's suffrage movement - as a threat to their traditional way of life. D

Lincoln County Schools are making progress
West Virginia Board of Education members had little choice when they voted to intervene in Lincoln County schools in 2000. An audit by the Office of Education Performance Audits had uncovered evidence of questionable financial and hiring practices in the county offices as well as serious facilities, curriculum and leadership issues.
The audit team visited 16 schools at the time. None was up to standards. In all, Lincoln County schools were cited for 213 instances of noncompliance with state standards.
Since the intervention, Lincoln County has worked steadily to resolve the majority of its issues, and has reached the point of earning back control of its system. Many of the very same teachers who were working in the schools when intervention occurred are still there today. But with leadership and successful research-based professional development, they have helped students improve and achieve.
Gone, too, are the dilapidated schools with, as the OEPA noted, "urine-soaked walls." Nearly all students, teachers and staff now have either new state-of-the-art or renovated schools that better support learning. Advanced Placement classes are commonplace, and once non-existent technology is available to enhance learning opportunities.
The state constitution requires the Legislature to establish a "thorough and efficient" system of schools, and the state Board of Education is charged with supervising that system. In 1979, the West Virginia Supreme Court defined that as "the best the state of education expertise allows."
State law authorizes the state Board of Education to declare a state of emergency and to intervene in county school systems whenever "extraordinary circumstances" exist. Under state intervention, county boards lose much of their decision-making powers. The state board and its state-appointed superintendent oversee personnel, curriculum, budget and the school calendar, leaving the locally elected officials with lesser tasks.
Since 1988, the state Board of Education has declared a state of emergency 10 times in order to take over operation of a county school system. More often than not, poor education programs, inefficient leadership, unsafe conditions for students, and misappropriation of funds are among the reasons a school system faces a state intervention.
We have learned, as was the case in Lincoln County, that leadership is the key to a successful intervention. When you have good leaders in place with the vision to address academic standards, conditions for learning improve and academic achievement improves.
All of the lessons learned from Lincoln County and other systems in intervention have been organized and packaged into a concise guidance document. To help counties operating under intervention regain control of their schools, the state board developed "Non-Approval Status and Intervention into County Educational Systems: The Process and Guidelines for Superintendents and Local Boards Under Intervention." The document provides a basic template of an exit plan from state control, in addition to recommendations for personnel.
Although there has always been a process for the counties to exit state control, guidance most often was provided orally before this document was created. We believe having a written document strengthens communication among the Office of Education Performance Audits, the West Virginia School Boards Association, the West Virginia Department of Education, the state Board of Education and the intervention counties so that students are provided the education they deserve.
The guidelines provide needed consistency when local school officials change, which is often the case after state intervention. The guidelines define steps necessary to correct deficiencies and a clear timeline of what a school system must report to the state. The document also includes a sample template of actions, deadlines, personnel responsible for that action and progress on completing that action.
Nobody gains pleasure from taking over a school system from local leaders. Nevertheless, the decision made by board members before my term to protect the children of Lincoln County was a brave one, made with the best interests of children in mind. Decisions that put the needs of the children first, as the state board did in Lincoln County, are never wrong.
When the West Virginia Board of Education conducted its recent December meeting in Hamlin, we had the pleasure of returning control to the local board. We were confident in our decision to do so knowing that the county has a dedicated leader in Lincoln County Superintendent Patricia Lucas. Together with the current local board, Superintendent Lucas is providing the leadership educators, parents and others had longed for all those years ago. Their positive efforts were greeted with a standing ovation at our meeting.
While Lincoln County still has improvements to make, particularly in the area of student achievement, we know they have the capacity to progress in ways that best fit their community needs. All members of the state board wish them well and look forward to hearing more about the good things going on in Lincoln County schools.
Wade Linger is president of the West Virginia Board of Education.

Introducing I Ride Park City Freestyle Camps
February 16, 2012
Park City Mountain Resort Introduces I Ride Park City Freestyle Camps
- Combines terrain park skill-building in private progression park with video shooting and editing
- Designed for intermediate skiers and snowboarders ages 9-15 with all levels of terrain park experience
- Sessions will be held during Presidents' Week and Spring Break weeks
Park City, Utah (February 15, 2012) – Park City Mountain Resort introduces its new freestyle camps, inspired by the "I Ride Park City" video episodes and the innovative athletes who star in them, combining training in the terrain parks with video shooting and editing. Maintaining Park City Mountain Resort's low student to coach ratio (5:1), the I Ride Park City Freestyle camps are geared towards intermediate/advanced level skiers and snowboarders ages 9-15, with all levels of park experience, who want to take their skills to the next level.
The three-day camp teaches new skills in a private progression park built specifically for the I Ride Park City Freestyle camp and focuses on: all-mountain skill development, park and pipe instruction and digital image capturing. A maximum of five campers to a coach ensures that students find the right group for their abilities, regardless of whether they're learning their first jumps, moving into the Eagle Superpipe or fine-tuning a 540. Campers also capture video of their work with GoPro cameras and leave camp with a digital video edit they can share over Facebook and YouTube.
Five sessions of the I Ride Park City Freestyle Camp will be held this season. A Presidents' Week session will be held Wednesday – Friday, February 22-24. Spring Break sessions run March 13-15; March 20-22; March 27-29 and April 3-5. The I Ride Park City Freestyle camp costs $450 with a lift ticket and includes lunch, or $330 not including a lift ticket. Each session runs 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Availability is limited. Reservations can be made by calling 800-227-2754.

In an interview last week, Lil Wayne stated that he suffers from epilepsy — the cause for the string of seizures that left him in the hospital earlier this month. Wayne is only just now sharing such a personal fact, ostensibly to debase the widespread claim (catalyzed by TMZ) that his seizures were drug-induced. Purple drank-induced, more specifically.
I won't lie: When I heard the news of Wayne's hospitalization, the first word that came to mind was "codeine". If we're to believe Weezy actually lives the party-all-the-time lifestyle he brags about in his raps, then the guy is constantly sipping the sizzurp and sucking on blunts. It isn't farfetched to assume those intoxicants might cause a seizure — or at least stunt one's career. Epilepsy is affecting Dwayne Carter. Drugs are destroying Lil Wayne.
It wasn't so long ago when he was on top of the rap game. 2008: "Lollipop" was all over FM radio, and Weezy was dropping hilarious, wacko mixtapes seemingly every week. But — slowly — a prison stint, hedonism, and droves of younger, more passionate rappers have worked to dethrone Wayne. He's releasing I Am Not a Human Being II with the dreaded "has been" relegation looming over him.
And based on the album's opener, you'd think he's aware of his fading relevancy. "IANAHB" is a striking five minutes of Weezy riffing verse after verse to some impressive piano soloing by producer/pianist ELEW. It's fueled both by sentimental angst ("Sometimes I need someone to talk to") and Weezy's typical shenanigans ("I stick it in her ass like some fucking steroids/Jose Canseco"). The track is an unexpected blitz, and one of his more memorable recordings to date. It would appear he's back and with a vengeance. But no. None of the 14 tracks that follow "IANAHB" match its tenacity or production values.
I Am Not a Human Being II descends into nonsensical party rap — which isn't bad in and of itself, but it's the way it's delivered by Wayne and his comrades (including 2 Chainz, Soulja Boy, and Drake): lethargic, bored, and uninspired. "I'm strapped up, nigga, fuck a gun law / See me walking with a limp / That's my gunwalk," goes the hook of "Gunwalk", a prime example of the content included here. Weezy picks a subject (what drugs to include in his "trippy bag," how he is going to "beat the shit" out of that pussy, etc.), and then he and his guests rap about it.
But Lil Wayne is best when he rhymes disassociated shit — so this pick-a-subject approach becomes restrictive, limiting his comedic range — and without the laughs, he's nothing. Also, the beats. Where are they? I Am Not a Human Being II has plenty of trunk-shaking bass, but that's about it: a handful of samples, a few snares, hi-hats, and lots of bass. The rap-rock fusion "Back to You" and old-school "Rich as Fuck" are the two exceptions here — the latter featuring two 2 Chainz's finest IANAHB moment: "Look at you, then look at us / All my niggas look rich as fuck."
There are certain points of interest on the album if you look into Lil Wayne's lyrics, past the misogyny and ridiculousness. He drops subtle hints that things may not be so hunky dory in his sensational life. On "Curtains", when he repeats, "I ain't nervous" like somebody who is totally nervous and trying to convince himself otherwise. He does the same thing on "No Worries". OK, Lil Wayne, you're not nervous. Nobody asked if you were. Why do you keep repeating that? Maybe it's just a search for some sort of meaning in his words, but he sounds like he's in denial.
He has the right to be in denial. He makes lots of money, and his career is on the downswing. Many have been in denial over that. For Lil Wayne, the solution is simple: Put some effort into the music, regain your momentum, and then reassert chart-topping dominance.
Effort. Just a little. This album has less than little. Lil Wayne is an aficionado of pussy-eating and doing lots of drugs, usually at the same time. That's all you'll learn from listening to I Am Not a Human Being Part II. The beats are so simple that they're a nonfactor, and there aren't very many funny lines — which was Wayne's most redeeming quality in the past. The record makes one fear for Dwayne Carter's career in addition to his already unstable health. Hold it together, man.
Essential Track: "IANAHB"
