CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla.- Across the street from the sugar white sands of Clearwater Beach, Toucan's Bar and Grill is known for its great location and fresh seafood.
"The food is wonderful," said customer Ryan Trueman. "It's one of the most creative menus on the beach."
But not everyone is a fan. In September, a tipster filed a complaint with the state alleging cooks were handling raw chicken and fish, then putting toppings on burgers without first washing their hands.
When the state went in to check things out, the inspector documented 16 critical violations, according to state records.
The problems included food stored on the floor; no toilet paper in the ladies room; temperature violations on the cooked mushrooms, frying batter, and potatoes; and employees touching food with their bare hands. There were also no paper towels at an employee hand sink, and on the cookline another sink was missing altogether.
So, last week, we stopped in. Restaurant management had no problem taking us back into the kitchen. In fact, Chef Bob Behring said he's proud of his kitchen and has nothing to hide.
"The place is brand new, go anywhere you like," said Chef Behring. "Check it out."
And that's exactly what we did. We found hand sinks in each room, stocked with soap and paper towels.A very good sign.
"It's very important ... Food borne illness. You can attract diseases from it. Like I say, we all wear gloves," said Behring.
We asked about the missing sink documented by the state.
"The rule of thumb is one sink per room, so when we built this place, I didn't need this," he said,pointing to a second sink along the cooksline. "I took it out. So when she came, I didn't make a new plan, so she wrote us up for that."
Chef Behring stressed there is a sink for employees in every room.
But we weren't done there. The ice bin looked crystal clean. We even checked out the walk-in cooler, where we found most food up off the floor and covered.
We did discover one problem: what appeared to be moldy fruit in a box of produce.
"We go through a case a week ... I'll throw them out right now," said Behring.
Besides that issue, everything else looked good and many customers seem to agree.
"I'm very particular on the food I eat," said Trueman. "This is one of the restaurants I can come to and not worry about cleanliness because I know it's going to be taken care of."
Based on our visit, we give Toucan's Bar & Grill the "A-OK" stamp of approval.

Joe Watty's. Really nice place. Really. At some point the bartender just gave up and kept the pints coming, always in time, before previous ones were finished. We didn't even need to order them (but we did have to pay the bill though). Now that's what I call service!

Evaluation of the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of two different formulations of commercially avail-able influenza vaccines in 4 different groups of immunocompromized outpatients (HIV positive patients, patients suffering from rheumatologic diseases and receiving treatment with immunosuppressive drugs and patients undergoing hemodialysis or continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis). The aim of the study was to investigate if the newest formulation of influenza vaccines (virosomal vaccines) offer a benefit in immunocompromized patients in comparison to an older subunit formulation.
Biological: Virosomal influenza vaccine
Biological: Subunit influenza vaccine
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Double Blind Randomized Comparison of a Subunit- and a Virosomal Influenza Vaccine in Immunocom-Promized Patients
- Immunogenicity defined as seroconversion (1:>=4) and seroprotection rates (1:>=40) [ Time Frame: >60 Wochen ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Reactogenicity in rheumatologic patients by disease specific scores [ Time Frame: Six weeks after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Immediate side effects at time of application of vaccination [ Time Frame: Minutes after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Side effects after vaccination [ Time Frame: First week after vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Desperately need wickets from Finn here. There's still 5 overs to come from Root/Patel, not to mention three from you-know-who, if they see off Finn they'll get there easily.

Oh Finn.

Close. Raina stumped Buttler bowled Root would have been one of the less widely predicted dismissals at the start of the series.
Raina just played the exact same shot. What you doing man
And I still don't comprehend how someone who bowls for a living can repeatedly run into the stumps. wtf has been going on at county level all these years?
It's droppable for mine. Can't afford this rubbish
He didn't always run into the stumps tbf. He used to fall over instead
Wonder if dirtbag will get any more overs.
And Raina plays that same shot again ffs.

New couple alert!
"Glee" star Naya Rivera and rapper Big Sean hit the red carpet together for the premiere of the Jackie Robinson film "42."
The new couple arrived hand-in-hand and struck a few silly poses.
Although she plays a lesbian on the show, Naya's been previously linked to her costar Mark Salling ("Puck") and "Glee" writer Matthew Hodgson. "I'm always dating," she told People last year. "I'm 25 [26 now] and so of course I'm going out and trying to hang out with cute boys."
Naya's the second "Glee" star making headlines this week; Heather Morris ("Brittany") is reportedly expecting her first child.
Click on the "Launch Gallery" above to see even more celebrities at the "42" premiere, including Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart and breakout star Chadwick Boseman.
"42" opens in theaters this Friday.

By Robert L. WarrenPh.D
I was one of the 80 or so people in attendance at the town meeting held on Jan. 8 at East Carbon High School to discuss consolidation of the three communities,
East Carbon, Columbia and Sunnyside were the consideration and it was a small turn out for such a major issue.
Consolidation of the three communities into one would create a town of 1800 people under the new name of East Carbon City. Identity, or loss of it, seems to be the biggest problem with Columbia and Sunnyside.
Someone at the meeting asked whatever happened to Dragerton, if you're concerned with identity. Misunderstanding, or lack of is the major problem.
Consolidation isn't an issue of consideration but of necessity if survival is desired or expected. These towns had better learn to get along and work together if they want to grow. If not they will fall into the past, going by the way of Wattis, Hiawatha, Sweets, Castle Gate, Royal and on and on.

How the Psy/MC Hammer AMAs mash-up came to be
We should've known something was up when Psy took the stage at the "American Music Awards" in a pair of Hammer pants.
The "Gangnam Style" artist had the AMAs audience on their feet doing his trademark dance when the lights suddenly dimmed and MC Hammer appeared on stage - still "Too Legit to Quit."
Younger viewers might've been a little lost when Psy stopped and went Hammer-time, as the "Too Legit" single came out just over 20 years ago. But, as the YouTube clip above proves, Hammer hasn't lost his touch.
Backstage, Hammer told CNN that the performance came together with the aid of Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun.
"Scooter Braun connected us, and [when] I spoke with Psy I knew right away that he is a good guy. I like working with good people ... I loved doing it and we had a great time together," Hammer said.
"Psy is fantastic. He's shifted the planet. He's got the whole world dancing. And it's a rarity in this world. Only four people made that happen in history - James Brown, Michael Jackson, yours truly and Psy. "
Psy, who even convinced Hammer into pulling on his trademark pants once again, didn't have any nerves about hitting the old-school routine.
"Honestly, I practiced his move[s] 20 years ago," Psy said. "So I've done that for 20 years."
CNN's KJ Matthews and Denise Quan contributed to this report.

Treatment of Helminth co-Infection: Short-Term Effects on HIV-1 Progression Markers and Immune Activation
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Identifying methods to slow disease progression in patients with HIV-1 infection remains a top priority in many regions of the world. In many countries, medications known to slow progression are not readily affordable or available. Many of the individuals living in these countries are also co-infected with a variety of other diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and soil-transmitted helminths. There are data to suggest that infection with these agents may activate the immune system in HIV-1 co-infected individuals and may lead to more rapid HIV disease progression. This study will evaluate the potential impact of treating helminths in HIV-1 seropositive individuals. Markers of disease progression and immune activation will be assessed. We will also measure the amount of virus in genital secretions to determine if treatment of co-infection can reduce the infectiousness of HIV in these individuals.

EarthLite Basics Fleece Massage Table WarmerThe electric EarthLite Basics Fleece Massage Table Warmer keeps clients warm, comfortable and happy during a relaxing, therapeutic treatment with 2 variable controls that deliver the perfect temperature for every body. A comfortable fleece pad and table warmer in one and includes elastic corner straps to keep pad in place.
I have had this table warmer for 5 years now and it works just as well as when it was new. My only complaint is that it slides and bunches when the clients turn over.
I have owned this table warmer for approx. 2.5 years, use it maybe 2x/week and it no longer works. Other Therapists said their table warmers have lasted for 10+ years but this one has a short life and could be more plush. But I do love the easy control switch. This warmer should be priced at least $20 less than the $61
I love having this heater, it works great! I travel to my clients homes and living in the Midwest - we have cold winters, it saves time and provides comfort for my clients! Life saver! :)
I am disappointed that it just sparked and died after 13 months of part time use, (just after the warranty expired).
Otherwise, I love the table warmer. It fits well, has 2 settings which seem to work for different clients warmth needs. I will try another one.
I agree with all the positive comments, except that 10 months into use, it's electrical components frizzled. The handset even smelled bad from the short. Will try another one.

BGA Extra: Jets at Seahawks
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible. For the purposes of BGA Extra (but not BGA, since that is too early in the week), I have also reviewed the coaches film, which was available for every play (whereas last year, it was only available for big plays). Statistics from PFF which are not available to subscribers were used in the completion of this article and we thank them for providing us with exclusive access to these.
Welcome to BGA Extra, where I draw a line under the previous weekend's game by responding to your questions from BGA during the week. After the jump, I respond to your questions about Sunday's game against the Seahawks. If you would like your questions answered in future, remember to read my BGA game breakdowns every Monday and leave your question in the comments section.
Do you think they will resign Keller? If we don't the Patriots probably will and he will be a probowler.
I think one of the main reasons to keep Keller is the fact that he has pretty good chemistry with Sanchez. This means that if they decide Sanchez isn't the future going forward then that might affect their thinking on Keller too.
This raises an interesting question about value. If Keller could go to New England and be a Pro Bowler, but would probably fall well short of that if the Jets gave him a Pro Bowl salary to stay here, then you have a situation where the player's value is different for either team. Should the Jets overpay him to prevent the Patriots (or some other team) getting a bargain? Shouldn't Keller think about going to a team where he could potentially put up bigger numbers and increase his value? Again, this brings up a situation where the Jets have to consider the limitations of their offense. It's like when they made the decision to pay Holmes. Right now $9m per year for Holmes looks really bad. However, if Holmes had gone to a team with a high-powered offense, he'd probably be (a) happy and (b) more statistically productive. Is it better to throw money at a problem or could the Jets have been better off saving that money and spending it on other parts of the team where you get more bang for your buck: (pass rusher, offensive lineman). One thing the Holmes injury has afforded us is an insight into the downside of that second option.
Of course, Keller going to New England doesn't necessarily make him a Pro Bowler. Look what happened to Chris Baker.
Don't forget they can tag (and potentially trade) him. That's perhaps more likely now that Maybin and Landry – probably the only other two contenders to be tagged – have shown that this would not be worthwhile.
As much of the comments are Tanny related, I'm curious what you think of my thought process: I think Tanny is a cap genius who has done some amazing things with contracts. Anyone who thinks he's put us in cap hell or doesn't know every step of the way what he's doing with each contract is very short-sighted. Otherwise, he's made some great moves as GM and some lousy ones. I don't think I need to elaborate on what they are, we all know. I'm wondering how much of these moves land directly on him. I get that the buck stops with him, but he's not going out evaluating all these guys. One guy who is is Terry Bradway – the guy who was GM when we traded our first round pick for Doug Jolley (who lasted one season with the team) and followed that up by using our 2nd round pick on a kicker. I'm wondering how much our evaluation team is to blame for some of what's gone on. When we trade a 5th round pick for Tone, a 3rd rounder for Braylon or a 2nd rounder for Cro, I put that on Tanny's shoulders – he gets input on the players and makes the actual deal. When we draft Wilson and Vlad (jury still out), Sanchez and Greene (jury nearly finished deliberating) or VG, Clemens and Schlegel (convicted) how much of the associated skewering should be directed right at Tanny? Perhaps a change in our evaluation team is in order?
The first point I'll make is that while his reputation as a cap genius was well-founded based on some innovative moves he (and his team) made over the years, the current CBA is much less flexible in terms of enabling a GM or front office to find and exploit a loophole. Therefore, while our knowledge about and the level of coverage surrounding cap issues has increased, Tannenbaum gets credit for things these days which, in my view, don't constitute "genius". Yes, he gets the team under the cap each year, but doesn't that come months after I (a complete amateur) have already told everyone that he'll get the team under the cap and how he'll do that? Tannenbaum and his team do show some creativity within their contract structure, but nothing too outlandish, ground-breaking or landscape-altering – just moves to give them payroll flexibility and options in terms of deferring money later on.
His most important job is personnel evaluation – both at the player and coach level and you raise a good point that he has to defer to his staff on many of these issues. However, this reminds me of the Schotty debate last year. Think of Tannenbaum as the Scouting Department/Coaching Staff Coodinator. Now, many of his issues are personnel related, so removing him might not fix those issues. However, their poor execution doesn't exonerate him from blame because a key part of his role is to identify the correct personnel and put them in a position to succeed. Sound familiar?
The bottom line is that apportioning blame is never easy and when you have to make decisions based upon that, you're often risking keeping the wrong guys. Maybe Tannenbaum deserves a chance to overhaul the scouting department OR the coaching staff. Or maybe he should be ousted because those two departments are underachieving and it will be up to the new guy to get those units to perform better or make changes. I'm glad it's not my decision.
Linebackers: Isn't Harris the Big Bucks Stud? Where was he?
The size of Harris' contract is often overstated. His 4 year, $36m deal makes more sense if you consider the fact that they always intended to re-sign him before his rookie deal expired but couldn't due to the restrictions of the final eight plan and the deal compensates him for the fact he only earned $550K in that year. Factoring that in, he essentially ended up with a five-year backloaded deal for an average of $7.4m. However, his performance is falling well short of that. With that said, Harris is a player that needs to play in space to be at his best. With Bart Scott and Sione Po'uha both missing time and playing hurt, this has had an impact. Certainly on Sunday Harris was anonymous in the first half, but did play better in the second half, although he did have two costly missed tackles.
DL: Hasn't Mo gained about 30 lbs this year? Some pass rusher he is. Another superb 1st round pick.
I don't know if he's gained weight, but you are undervaluing his contribution this year. Wilkerson – despite seeing more double teams – is playing phenomenally well against the run (which I would argue is his primary role) and has been more productive as a pass rusher too. PFF ranks him #2 in the NFL for 3-4 DEs and the only person he is behind is MVP candidate JJ Watt. He's even ranked 7th for pass rushing productivity. Last year he had 15 total pressures and this year he has 17 already so he is progressing in the right direction.
As for Quinton Coples, who primary role IS to rush the passer, he's ranked 3rd for pass rushing productivity, ahead of Justin Smith, Brett Keisel, Darnell Dockett, Haloti Ngata, Calais Campbell…
I didn't read if anyone mentioned this and not that it's that important but did anyone else think they should have reviewed the Kerley fumble to see if the Seahawks player got possession before going out of bounds? I couldn't see because they didn't do a clear replay but it looked like he didn't get full possession until his helmet was out of bounds. I'm not sure but does anyone have any thoughts?
The other Jason (from NYJetsCap) actually tweeted about this at the time. On review of the coach's film, his head never touched the sideline out of bounds but it does look like his shoulder was very close to the line as he gathered the ball. However, it's impossible to tell and I doubt very much a replay would have shown it conclusively enough to overturn. Having not used a challenge in that half, perhaps it would have been worth a shot though.
Exactly how open was Stephen Hill on Sanchez's INT?
This open (HT: Marcus) –
However, the intermediate coverage guys were moving in unison, so Sanchez would have had to either time his pass perfectly (a bit like a shooting gallery in reverse) or loft it over the top with touch and maybe he lacks the confidence to do either right now. The assumption is that he didn't see him, but I'm not sure that's the case. However, whether he didn't make that throw because (a) he didn't have the confidence in himself to make it, (b) he didn't have confidence in Hill to catch it, (c) he didn't read the defense correctly or (d) he had always made up his mind Keller was getting it and then hesitated, it's an issue. A lot of people are overreacting to how badly he's playing right now. He can play well if he's decisive…on this play he was anything but though.
You said you don't see a way for the line to improve much overall, but I'm gonna ask anyway… Ducasse vs. Slauson, who's looked better?
On Sunday it was Slauson, although all Vlad's drives seemed to stall early through no fault of his own. Over the course of the season, it has been Ducasse. Ducasse is showing some good flashes and when it finally happens it will be interesting to see whether giving him a full-time role helps him to retain his focus for a longer period or merely gives the defense more time to figure out and exploit his weaknesses. I think the Jets might continue to limit Vlad's snaps for a while because it benefits them financially to do so. Also, it may have been a condition of Slauson's paycut that he gets the majority of the reps when healthy.
Was Hill wide open in the back of the end zone(with his hand raised) on the play when Sanchez threw the goal-line pick?
See above. Now pat yourself on the back for being able to look at something else and then go back to what you were originally looking at. Apparently, it's not as easy as it looks!
You must be kidding with that, right? Wilkerson and elite do not belong together. What's so great about him? Was it that he was able to actually catch a fumble that bounced right to him and score yesterday? He's ok, certainly not great or elite.
As noted above, a lot of people are falling into the trap of just looking at the stats to evaluate how well he's playing. Watch him on every snap, as I do, and you'll see he wins his matchup far more often than he loses it. Then when you look at other players who play the same position, you'll realize that the extent to which he wins his matchup more often than he loses it exceeds what most of the other players who play the same position are able to do. Wilkerson has played the majority of his snaps as a 3-4 defensive end this year and a good proportion of the rest as a defensive tackle. Therefore, he's not expected to put up huge sack numbers. Future hall of famer Richard Seymour averages less than five per season, for example.
I feel extremely comfortable with describing Wilkerson as great and on the road to being elite.
What the hell has happened to Sanchez?
The simple, boring, answer is that I think they underestimated how much he would struggle to pick up the new scheme. His confidence looks to be completely shot right now, although he has played decently at least once within the last month.
Bent wrote: "While I'm not going to list those things here, because I don't feel comfortable with putting up a blueprint of how to beat the Jets". Bent, you do us a disservice by mentioning this and then NOT posting it. I really don't think the teams left on the Jets schedule are reading this post to find out how to beat the Jets, do you?
They should be! Anyway…as I mentioned, I will think about posting this during the offseason.
Can you look into how many receivers are actually open as some people suggest here when you do BGA extra?
If you watch the coaches film, it's not often you see a guy wide open and waving his hands for the ball as in the Hill example, or the two examples (Greene and Reuland) in the Pats game. However, when you watch teams like the Saints, Patriots or Packers, you realize that a lot of the big completions these teams get are where the receiver just has a half-step but the ball is delivered perfectly in stride. Those are the ones Sanchez should be capable of hitting and hasn't been able to do so at an NFL-level this year and if you watch the film for any game, those opportunities are there. However, it's also clear that the defensive backs are sitting on a lot of routes and Sanchez isn't helping himself by staring down his targets. Another example of where someone is getting the blame (receivers for not getting open) but Sanchez himself could be a contributing factor.
You know what would be cool. A BGA or analysis of Mike Tannenbaum's moves as GM post 2010 as a lesson on how to take a winning franchise and destroy it. We probably disagree on the accountabiity of Mr. T but as an example….why draft Kyle Wilson when you already have Revis and Cromartie and you just lost Woody and Faneca? I guess Wayne Hunter and Vlad and Slauson was the answer in the eyes of this organization. I don't understand replacing Leon Washington with John Conner….replacing Brad Smith with Tim Tebow….replacing Thomas Jones and LT with Shonn Greene….replacing Jericho Cotchery with Chaz Schillens and Clyde Gates…..replacing Ben Hartstock/Mulligan with Jason Smith as a TE. The list is endless…
This is perhaps something I will attack during the offseason, but for now here's a link to Kristine's article in the offseason which is a decent summary of the Tannenbaum regime.
In terms of the examples you stated, obviously we can second guess a lot of the moves he made, but in most cases the outgoing players were finished so would need to be replaced either way and because the timing coincided with the "core four" (and Holmes) needing contract extensions, their choices were to not bring everyone back or to fill those holes with lower-priced talent. Also, John Conner didn't replace Leon Washington, Joe McKnight did.
Sparano came here with a terrible reputation, though he was allegedly a decent line coach and run coordinator. Miami's stats point to the opposite being true … terrible pass blocking and Long got worse each year … and that was his strength! Yet, we see receivers open frequently this year, for the first time since Weis. My question – is Lal the guy? He seems like a very smart guy, I'm wondering if he won't be a very good OC soon enough. Probably for some other team, the Jets will hire Sparano and his sidekick DeGuglielmo will be the new OC!
Miami's pass blocking ranks in 2008 to 2010 under Sparano per PFF: 5th, 1st, 3rd. They were low down the list in 2011, but then again Long was injured and with the personnel they had it's surprising they weren't even lower. Sparano's numbers as a playcaller in Dallas are also pretty good. With that said, his first season with the Jets has been terribly underwhelming. Didn't he say he would hold everyone accountable which, when coupled with the supposedly simpler scheme should ensure smooth execution?
As for Lal, I think the jury is very much out on him. I think he's done a pretty good job in terms of teaching Stephen Hill how to get separation and Jeremy Kerley is obviously thriving. However, the other guys haven't been consistent enough, although maybe that's somewhere else that Sanchez isn't helping matters. I would say that while there have been guys getting open for big plays from time to time, when the defense is playing with eight in the box and sitting on short routes, it's perhaps not as difficult for receivers to get open downfield. Lal is still young even for a position coach, but maybe he could be one to watch in future.
I'll be back with a BGA scouting Kahlil Bell on Saturday and I'll also be here to BGA the Rams game on Monday.

MIAMI, Fla. (MarketWatch) — If you're new to the stock market, you may want to know what books you should read to get started as a trader. Here are five of my favorites that belong on every trader's bookshelf:
1. 'Reminiscences of a Stock Operator' by Edwin Lefevre
Legendary trader Jesse Livermore shares rules he learned over a lifetime of trading stocks. Many of the rules are psychological, and many employ common sense, but all are relevant today. A few of my favorite quotes:
The meaning of the Dow's 200-day average violation
The stock market's 200-day moving average has now been decisively broken. But should you sell? Mark Hulbert joins Markets Hub to discuss. Photo: Reuters.
"Obviously the thing to do was to be bullish in a bull market and bearish in a bear market. Sounds silly, doesn't it? But I had to grasp that general principal firmly before I saw that to put it into practice meant to anticipate probabilities."
"A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong, not taking the loss, that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul."
"He will risk half his fortune in the stock market with less reflection than he devotes to the selection of a medium-priced automobile."
"They say you never grow poor taking profits. No, you don't. But neither do you grow rich taking a four-point profit in a bull market."
"Whereupon the average man, who never thinks of values but of prices, and is not governed in his actions by conditions but by fears, takes the easiest way — he stops thinking that there must be a limit to the advances."
2. 'Market Wizards' by Jack D. Schwager
This fascinating book, based on in-depth interviews, offers insights into the minds of some of the great modern traders. This classic book includes psychological trading lessons as well as strategic advice. A few memorable quotes:
Michael Marcus:"Perhaps the most important rule is to hold on to your winners and cut your losers. Both are equally important. If you don't stay with your winners, you are not going to be able to pay for the losers."
Bruce Kovner: "I would say that risk management is the most important thing to be well understood. Undertrade, undertrade, undertrade is my second piece of advice."
Ed Seykota: "The elements of good trading are 1) Cutting losses. 2) Cutting losses. 3) Cutting losses. If you can follow these three rules, you may have a chance."
Paul Tudor Jones: "The most important rule of trading is: Play great defense, not great offense."
Gary Bielfeldt: "The most important thing is to have a method for staying with your winners and getting rid of your losers."

The cause of bullous pemphigoid is not well understood. The blisters occur because of a malfunction in the immune system.
Your body's immune system normally produces antibodies to fight bacteria, viruses or other potentially harmful foreign substances. For reasons that are not clear, the body may develop an antibody to a particular tissue in your body.
In bullous pemphigoid, the immune system produces antibodies to the skin's basement membrane, a thin layer of fibers connecting the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the next layer of skin (dermis). These antibodies trigger inflammatory activity that produces the blisters and itching of bullous pemphigoid.
Bullous pemphigoid usually appears randomly with no clear factors contributing to the onset of disease. A small percentage of cases may be triggered by certain medical treatments, such as:

WEBMINING> Super Fresh with BBS Mesh
Brandon Nero's '04 Jetta GLI from wagenwerks on Vimeo.
When I'm bored at work, I constantly listen to MP3s and surf the web. The other day, I decided to look at Volkswagen related videos because I was interested in finding more cars that looked similar to my friend Zach's Well Dunn Passat.
I stumbled across this older video from Wagenwerks Productions, that featured a Volkswagen Jetta GLI owned by a guy named Brandon Nero. I think this video is sick – the music went well with the feel of the video. The Jetta is so simple and clean, yet it's so aggressive! I gotta hand it to Brandon Nero, he made one dope looking Jetta! I obviously love the car's super low stance, and the fitment of the BBS mesh wheels? Perfect.
While replaying the video about 4-5 times, I read the comments on the Wagenwerks Vimeo account and saw that they used roller blades to get all the moving camera shots! No fancy rigs or easy dollies used here! I can go on for days about how good this video is, but I think I'll just shut up and let you watch. Awesome, right?

In the circus of our fall footwear coverage, a couple of key styles have been major crowd-pleasers thus far: over-the-knee boots and heavy hardware booties. While these options continue to captivate audiences and show up on fashionable feet galore, we're happy to report on a newcomer to the big top-the gray lace-up bootie! Unlike our aforementioned autumnal offerings, this ankle-grazing necessity isn't bold or brash, but its subtlety makes it a stellar alternative and a wardrobe necessity. Whether you take a tip from Claudia Schiffer and wear them with a cozy sweater dress or prefer them paired with a party frock, per Olivia Palermo, we have a feeling gray booties might end up being your favorite act!
But enough with our master of ceremonies nonsense, it's time to put down our make-believe top hat and move on to the shoes! Today's trend first piqued our interest during New York Fashion Week, when we noticed a number of these suede lace-ups on the shows' attendees. After returning to LA, we kept seeing these shoes on street-style blogs and in paparazzi pictures, confirming that they have universal appeal. In fact, everyone from the fantastic Rachel McAdams to fashionable real girls are reaching for them on a regular basis! Speaking of the former, McAdams offered an early example when she wore a high-heeled pair of Christian Louboutin's Mamanouk Platform Booties ($1040) to Alexander Wang's S/S 10 show. She mixed them with a black-and-white bandage skirt from Boy by Band of Outsiders' S/S 10 collection and a boxy peacoat resulting in the sort of effortless ensemble we love to see.
A few weeks later the shoes were still holding strong, as two fashion fanatics-The City's Olivia Palermo and Vogue's Lauren Santo Domingo-attended a Dior Beauty party at the Standard Hotel in New York wearing our accessory du jour. As you might remember from our fash week coverage, LSD was an early adopter of the gray bootie and continues to sport her Proenza Schouler Suede Lace-Up Boots ($795) all over town. While this contributing editor styled her booties with a delicate dress, we also adore Palermo's outfit. The combination of textures and finishes-a Topshop Stud Leather Jacket ($320), Ports 1961 metallic dress, and vintage Gucci croc clutch-is masterful and very modern, especially when worn with Topshop's Amber Crepe Sole Platform Boots ($170), which are available in navy or light gray!
But lest you think that gray booties are a singularly Stateside trend, we ask that you turn your attention to one of London's loveliest residents: Claudia Schiffer. In early October, the supermodel attended the launch of a new weekly magazine, Stylist, wearing a Luella Abbot Cashmere Dress ($875) and black opaques with the most divine pair of Surface to Air Wedge Buckle Boots ($440). We have an enormous crush on these suede wedges, which offer the perfect blend of form and function. It might not be the greatest show on earth, but it's definitely a contender for greatest shoe!

Give yourself stronger orgasms & a tighter vajayjay!
An Adam & Eve exclusive sex toy!
Includes velvet storage bag
Enhance your sexual pleasure and your partners with this new glass dildo that makes doing Kegel exercises fun as well as rewarding!
• Double-ended design for Kegel exercises and masturbation
• Squeeze and release the shaft to build up your Kegel muscles
• Stronger Kegels lead to a tighter-feeling vagina and more powerful orgasms
• Penis-shaped tip for easy penetration
• Covered with pleasure bumps for extra stimulation

• Glass sex toys are hypoallergenic, easy to clean and non-porous
• Measures 1.25 inches across and 7.25 inches long, insertable
• Velvet storage bag included
The orbed end of the glass dildo is designed for Kegel exercises. The bulbs and smaller shaft give your Kegel muscles something to squeeze and hold onto – allowing you to build them up easier and faster. Regular exercises help increase the size of the muscles... making your vagina tighter while also increasing the strength of your orgasms!
The other end of the glass dildo is made for masturbation. With its penis-shaped tip and naturally smooth surface, the glass dildo slides easily inside you. Then, the shaft of the glass dildo is studded with pleasure bumps to massage and rub every inch of your body as you thrust away with the dildo.
Like other sex toys made from glass, you can use temperature play to further enhance your experience with the Crystal Kegel Glass Dildo. Hold the glass dildo under hot water to warm it up. The glass retains the heat so you can give your lover a soothing back massage or give it a more lifelike feeling during penetration. Alternatively, you can chill the dildo off with cold water or by throwing it in the fridge before use. The cool glass is great for teasing your lover and driving their nipples wild – especially if you blindfold them beforehand!
The glass dildo measures 1.25 inches across at its widest point and 8 inches long, with up to 7.25 inches insertable. Glass is one of the healthiest materials for sex toys because of its special properties. First, glass is hypoallergenic so even people with sensitive skin or a wide range of allergies can use it. Next, glass is non-porous so it won't pick up hair or grime like sex toys made from rubber or jelly. Third, glass also is easy to clean… all you have to do is drop it in a pot of boiling water or run it through the dishwasher if you don't feel like washing it.
Adam and Eve recommends the Crystal Kegel Glass Dildo for women to use for vaginal stimulation and kegel exercises.
The glass dildo is compatible with Adam & Eve's water-based and silicone-based sex lubes. After using the glass dildo, wash it thoroughly in warm, soapy water and rinse it clean. You can also dip it in boiling water or run it through the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning. Once the dildo dries off, store the glass sex toy in the storage bag and place it in a cool, dark place with the rest of your sex toy collection.

This November is a particularly important month, thanks to the upcoming presidential elections. At Who What Wear, we've definitely given a great deal of thought to the candidates and hot-button issues, but we've also found time to research November's coolest sartorial finds. We've cast our ballots and these stylish essentials, from a must-read memoir to Balmain's inaugural handbag, have our vote.Bumble and bumble Semisumo Pomade ($27)
Welcome the latest addition to Bumble and bumble's Sumo family--their Semisumo Pomade. Following on the heels of the hair brand's legendary Sumowax and Sumotech, this new styling product is best for giving your hair intense shine and definition without weighing it down. A blend of beeswax and coconut oil makes the pomade ideal for taming persistent flyaways or lending your tresses some extra polish.
Grace: A Memoir ($19) by Grace Coddington
It'd be easy to envy the flame-haired Grace Coddington, Vogue's Creative Director who stole our hearts in the 2009 documentary The September Issue. (She's a former model-turned-major editor; talk about a glamorous life!) But the charm and wit displayed in her memoir makes it impossible not to fall in love with Coddington's vibrant personality. You'll burn the midnight oil flipping through pages filled with her candid prose, personal photos and illustrations, and a sampling of her most noteworthy Vogue editorials.
Proenza Schouler Resort Denim
Proenza Schouler's denim pieces, part of the Resort 13 collection, are bound to earn the same must-have status as the label's PS1 bags. We're particularly fond of the PS-J1 Boy Jeans ($295, 212.585.3200) in Bleached Indigo, a cool, laid-back alternative to your everyday skinnies.
Liz Goldwyn for M.A.C.
Over the years, M.A.C.'s fulfilled so many of our beauty needs, from the best brow shaper to a great red lipstick. Now the cosmetics brand is introducing makeup bags, designed by writer/director Liz Goldwyn, to its repertoire as part of its Fabulousness holiday collection. The bags, including the Primed Out Perfectly Plushed Brush Kit/Essential ($50) shown here, evoke a vintage boudoir feel inspired by Goldwyn's own lingerie collection. Don't forget to check out our exclusive interview with her for more details!
Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's Cocoon Coat ($130, available November 7th) in Peony
As you may know, we're a little crazy about coats at the moment--and this elegant cover-up by Narciso Rodriguez for Kohl's is our latest love. Rodriguez is the first designer partnering with the retailer for their DesigNation series, which features limited-edition collections inspired by international travels. A recent trip to Instabul, Turkey, influenced Rodriguez's inaugural collection, which marries rich, vibrant shades and prints with his signature streamlined silhouettes.
Aurelie Bidermann for Balmain The Pierre Bag ($4350)
Balmain's Olivier Rousteing makes clothes and Aurelie Bidermann crafts jewelry, but the two French designers share a similar aesthetic--glamorous and decadent with a bit of rock 'n' roll elan. So when Rousteing invited Bidermann to create Balmain's debut handbag, she came up with a decidedly luxe-looking satchel crafted in rich suede. Dubbed The Pierre in homage to the French fashion house's founder, the bag is made for the cool girls who wear their designs (and who will certainly appreciate the chic boar tusk embellishment too). Color us obsessed.--Tiffany Tse

BUFFALO, NY - While visiting the area on Wednesday, NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo denied any attempt to stifle opposition by elected County Sheriffs across the state to the NY SAFE Act.
The Albany Times Union recently reported that when a group of Sheriffs were summoned by the Governor to the state capitol earlier this year, they thought they were being called in to add their input to the controversial gun control measures as part of NY SAFE, and to advise him on possible changes.
Instead, the paper says Cuomo told the Sheriffs to keep quiet and stop making public statements about their opposition, with one un-named source saying the governor attempted to bully them when he raised the specter of a little used executive power, contained within the state constitution, which in certain circumstances could allow the Governor to remove a Sheriff from office.
"The Sheriffs had concerns and had suggestions for modifications to the SAFE Act, so we met to talk to them about their ideas," Cuomo told WGRZ-TV. "It was modified by the budget which was passed by both the Assembly and the Senate, but that was the extent of the conversation," Cuomo said.
When asked pointedly by Two On Your Side if he ever asked the sheriffs to keep quiet about their opposition, Cuomo shook his head and said, "no, not at all."
Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard has been among the most outspoken of New York's elected law enforcers about the safe act, stating on several occasions there are provisions of it he would not enforce because he finds them unconstitutional.
A spokesperson for Howard says the Sheriff cannot verify what may have been said at the meeting, because he did not attend it.

Taking Shape
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 07/30/08, 12:21pm:
The Clippers have spent a good part of the past couple weeks shoring up a roster that – less than a month ago – had exactly five players under guarantees contract. Four weeks later, the Clippers have emerged with measurable depth and a fairly capable nine-man rotation, which will be expanded to ten with the addition of another frontcourt body (either Josh Powell or, if the rumors bear out, Dutch foul machine Francisco Elson).
Starting Five
PG B. Davis
SG Mobley
SF Thornton
PF Camby
C Kaman
In the Rotation
PG Hart
SG Gordon
SF R. Davis
F Thomas
PG Taylor
C Jordan
Powell was put on the spot during the second half last season, but impressed – though he's often overmatched against true centers. Elson, despite his seven-foot stature, doesn't perform a whole lot better against imposing bigs, though he's an excellent rebounder (as is Powell). The Clippers second unit was woeful on the glass last season and it cost them ballgames.
It's tempting to suggest that, with Elton and Corey gone, the Clips will be a decidedly more up-tempo team. Though it's safe to assume their Possessions/Game number will inch upward, I'm not sure the uptick will be more than marginal. They're still fielding two bigs, a couple of big guards who post well, and Thornton, who is sliding over to the 3, where he can utilize his size – something he couldn't really do at the 4 last season.
Everyone loves watching a run-and-gun squad, but it's worth examining the possibility that the Clippers' best recipe for offensive success resides in the halfcourt, but -- and here's the good news – with more motion-oriented sets.
UPDATE (Wed, 8:58p): The Clips have placed Josh Powell on waivers. It's a little disappointing because, ACC apologist that I am, I think Josh Powell is useful as a rotation player. He really grew last season -- developed a mid-range game, improved defensively on the high/low switch, and did some solid work on the glass (15.2 RR). In any event, the Clips are still short one big body.

Adam Neylon carries close Assembly race in Waukesha County
Village of Pewaukee window cleaning business owner Adam Neylon won Tuesday's Republican primary for the 98th Assembly District, all but guaranteeing he will take the Waukesha County seat in the April 2 general election because no Democrat is running.
Neylon, 28, beat out four others - Village of Pewaukee Police Chief Ed Baumann; construction project manager Todd Greenwald of the Village of Pewaukee; Marquette University graduate student Matt Morzy of Waukesha; and Jeanne Tarantino of Waukesha, the former chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
Neylon led his closest opponent, Baumann, by 30 votes out of more than 5,200 cast. That means the official canvass will be closely watched. If the lead holds up in the canvass, the close margin would raise the possibility of a recount because candidates can get the state to pay for recounts in instances when the margin is less than half a percentage point.
The district includes the City of Pewaukee, Village of Pewaukee, Sussex and the northern portion of the City of Waukesha.
The general election is April 2, but only the name of the GOP primary winner will appear on the ballot because no Democrats or independents registered.» Read Full Article

Update: Shooting threat alters Pewaukee High School's homecoming plans
Pewaukee — Police are following up on leads related to this week's shooting threat at Pewaukee High School, but so far, no one is in custody.
The threat came on the same day a gunman opened fire at an Oregon community college, leaving 10 dead and seven wounded.
The Pewaukee School District called off Friday classes and activities at all district schools after a note was found at Pewaukee High School that said there would be a "school shooting" on Friday, Oct. 2. The district's two elementary schools, middle school and high school are all on the same campus.
The homecoming parade and pep rally were among the events that were canceled. The homecoming football game, originally slated for Friday night, was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon.
Pewaukee Police Capt. Jay Iding said more police than normal will be at the football game. There will also be a police presence at the homecoming dance, which takes place Saturday evening at the high school.» Read Full Article

Oconomowoc fall highway cleanup project needs volunteers
City of Oconomowoc — To hear Jessica Perry tell it, there's a lot more to picking up litter than one might think.
"It's a community service," she said. "But it's also an opportunity to get some exercise, meet new people and network. And it provides you with a very real sense of accomplishment."
Perry, a senior personal banker at First Bank Financial Centre in Oconomowoc, is so excited about picking up litter because this is the fourth year she's been involved with an annual Oconomowoc highway cleanup project, which is scheduled for 8 to 9:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 9. And she wants to get other people excited about the project, too — hopefully excited enough to volunteer to help out.
There are six volunteers on board for the project so far, and all of them are First Bank employees.
Perry said she hopes to draw between 20 and 30 volunteers. Anyone interested in participating in the project should call Perry at (262) 569-3055.» Read Full Article

Oconomowoc businesses on Summit Avenue announce scavenger hunt

That's why 25 businesses along the Summit Avenue corridor — self-identified as the Summit Avenue Business District — have banded together to create a monthlong event aimed at elevating foot traffic at businesses, stores and restaurants along the project site.
The event is a scavenger hunt that began Thursday, Oct. 1, and will run through the end of the month, said Oconomowoc Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Katie Miller. But the scavenger hunt was not a chamber brainchild, Miller added.
"It's a fun way to keep people engaged," she said. "But it's not a chamber-sponsored thing. It's really an effort of a number of businesses along that stretch of road who are working together for the good of group."

Big Bend to join Diggers Hotline network
The village of Big Bend is joining the Diggers Hotline network.
This decision was due to the village's liability if someone digs due to sanitary and storm sewer, said village Department of Public Works Superintendent Eric Pedersen at a Sept. 28 public works commission meeting.

Pederson said it doesn't cost the village anything to join.

There's a good chance that pile of snow in your yard contains bacteria -- but not because it's dirty. The bacteria may have played an important role in helping those snow crystals form. New work published this week in the journal Science suggests that bacteria may play a surprisingly important role in guiding the formation of the snow and rain forming ice crystals found in high-level clouds.
The researchers looked at snow samples from around the globe, including Montana, France, and Antarctica, and found that cells and cell fragments were a significant part of the ice-nucleating aerosol particles that lead to the formation of ice and raindrops. In this segment, Joe Palca talks with a member from the research team about connecting microbiology to meteorology.
