Tales of being plucked from everyday life and turned into a silver-screen star are stuff of Hollywood lore: Lana Turner was legendarily discovered at the counter of Schwab's Pharmacy on Sunset Boulevard, while a chance encounter with a Revlon scout at a Long Island pizza parlor changed Natalie Portman's path forever. For rising talent Jennifer Lawrence, the fateful moment was equally accidental: while on vacation in New York City with her family, she stopped to watch some street dancers, and caught the eye of a casting agent. One thing led to another, and now the 19-year-old Kentucky native not only has an impressive roster of films under her belt, she's also receiving rave reviews for her work in the Sundance favorite, Winter's Bone. With that critically-acclaimed project set to debut in theaters next month, Lawrence is getting serious about making a splash with her personal style, so we thought it would be the perfect time to showcase this truly talented young actress. Accordingly, we're delighted to spotlight this stunning up-and-comer wearing some of the season's loveliest looks in today's Celebrity Fashion Editorial: Splendor in the Grass.
While Lawrence's introduction to the acting world might have been fortuitous, she has proven herself worthy of buzz thanks to her incredibly powerful on-screen performances. She got her sea legs on the TBS family sitcom
The Bill Engvall Show, but it's her dark and brooding work that is really getting the attention of Hollywood. After the critical success of 2008's
The Burning Plain (directed by Guillermo Arriaga of 21 Grams and
Babel fame), Lawrence is really poised to make waves as Ree Dolly in the aforementioned
Winter's Bone. The Debra Granik-directed film, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, stars Lawrence as a tough-as-nails daughter of a drug-addicted mother, who must track down her missing father in order to protect their family's home and her younger siblings. Set in the impoverished, remote Ozark Mountains, the movie is certainly not light fare, but Lawrence makes the most of her meaty role and delivers a deft and moving performance. Later this year, she will also star in
The Beaver, which is directed by (and features) Jodie Foster and is sure to be another must-see. But while Lawrence certainly embraces all of these intense and offbeat roles, she's also looking forward to new challenges. "I'd love to do something very girly and feminine," she says. "That's a little bit more out of my comfort zone."
While Hollywood has yet to cast her as a girly girl, we were happy to oblige with some of spring's prettiest pieces and most feminine trends. At our shoot in the Malibu canyons, Lawrence fell in love with the sundresses, chunky accessories, and mixed-print combos (such as Talbots'
Floral Shirt ($79.50) with the Floral Print Shorts ($65) from Topshop). In terms of her work-event preferences, Lawrence plans on wearing a few looks from The Row for upcoming premieres and said she adores Kate Beckinsale's "polished and edgy" red-carpet outfits. She also takes wardrobe inspiration from a muse who also happens to be a WhoWhatWear.com reader favorite: Chloe Sevigny. "She's the fashion-icon queen of all actresses," she says with a laugh. Soon Lawrence might find herself in that same style category; she recently started working with the power stylist Estee Stanley, whose impeccable taste is sought after by clientele like Ashley Olsen, Jessica Biel, and Penelope Cruz. With so many spinning plates and exciting projects on the horizon one thing becomes incredible clear: Jennifer Lawrence is more than just an actress with serious star power, but a super-stylish girl on the verge, as well!

Snowboarders are vulnerable to gravity. Image: Picswiss.ch.
How do you test the effects of gravity? One way is to tip yourself over the edge of your snowboard as you are elegantly gliding along to see how long it takes until you hit the ground. We tried that last week, but it didn't work (the Plus scientist contracted concussion). Another is to win a £4.2 million grant to develop sensitive equipment to detect elusive gravitational waves. This is what the University of Glasgow has just done, having applied for the funding from the Science & Technology Funding Council.
The Glasgow experiment will significantly extend our own using the snowboard. Had it been successful, our experiment would probably have confirmed Newton's universal law of gravitation, which says that the gravitational force between two point masses is
where and are the two bodies' respective masses, is the distance between them and is the gravitational constant, approximately equal to . From this you can work out how long it should take a falling snowboarder to meet the snow face-on. The Glasgow experiment, however, will test a more sophisticated theory.
Newton came up with his law in 1687 and it remained unchallenged until 1905, when Einstein published his special theory of relativity. The theory says that there is a universal speed limit in the Universe: nothing can travel faster than light, that is, nothing can travel faster than roughly 300,000 metres per second. According to Newton, however, the effect of gravity is instantaneous. Take away the Sun, and the effect will be felt on Earth immediately. Einstein himself later remedied this problem by proposing that gravity isn't a force that wafts across the ether in some mysterious way, but a result of the curvature of space. An analogy that is often given is that of a bowling ball sitting on a trampoline. The ball creates a dip in the trampoline, curving its surface, so a marble placed nearby will roll into the dip towards the ball. According to Einstein, massive bodies warp space in a similar way, causing less massive bodies to be attracted to them.
One of the consequences of Einstein's theory of gravity is that when gravitational monsters such as black holes shunt their weight around, they should create ripples that can be felt across space and time. "Near black holes the curvature of spacetime is extremely high," explains Bangalore Sathyaprakash, a gravity expert. "Now imagine two black holes moving around each other: the curvature is large but also changing. It's a bit like taking a stick and moving it around in a pond. That's going to generate ripples in the water. Only in the case of black holes, we're talking about ripples in the very fabric of spacetime." These ripples are the gravitational waves researchers at the University of Glasgow will be looking for. They will develop instrumentation for gravitational wave detectors with a sensitivity of around 1/1000th of the diameter of a proton (10-18m).
Sheila Rowan, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow, said: "We are entering a very exciting time in the search for gravitational waves. Experiments aimed at detecting gravitational waves have been in development for several decades and we are now reaching sensitivity levels where detection is expected in the next few years." We hope they won't come away with concussion!

We've read the book. We've bought the T-shirt. And now, finally, here it is: the movie of one of our favourite maths problems, the bridges of Königsberg. Though admittedly, we made it ourselves. We learnt several interesting lessons in the process. For example that a bin doesn't make a good supporting character and that people who shouldn't be in the frame should get out of it. But other than that, we're well on course for an Oscar this weekend!
You can read more about the bridges of Königsberg here.
This video was inspired by content on our sister site Wild Maths, which encourages students to explore maths beyond the classroom and designed to nurture mathematical creativity. The site is aimed at 7 to 16 year-olds, but open to all. It provides games, investigations, stories and spaces to explore, where discoveries are to be made. Some have starting points, some a big question and others offer you a free space to investigate.

There was a brief pause in research at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge (DAMTP, also the home of Plus) this afternoon to celebrate the newly established Chair in Cosmology. The Chair, funded by a $US 6 million donation from Avery-Tsui Foundation, is named after Stephen Hawking and he will be the first to hold the Professorship. Paul Shellard, Director of the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology, said that the honour recognised Hawking's contributions to changing our understanding of the Universe.

"When I arrived at DAMTP in 1962 cosmology was a speculative science and we didn't know if the Universe had a beginning or had existed forever in a steady state," Hawking said. He went on to say that the new Professorship recognised the role of the department in taking cosmology from this speculative start to the remarkably successful field it is today.
We'd like to congratulate Hawking on his new post (and thank him for the cake and champagne!) and look forward to the next exciting discovery from our cosmologist neighbours.
You can read more about Hawking's life and work in his articles 60 years in a nutshell and A brief history of mine, and in our coverage of his 60th and 70th birthday symposia. And of course, there's much more about cosmology on Plus.

Georg Cantor
Are there more irrational numbers than rational numbers, or more rational numbers than irrational numbers? Well, there are infinitely many of both, so the question doesn't make sense. It turns out, however, that the set of rational numbers is infinite in a very different way from the set of irrational numbers.
As we saw here, the rational numbers (those that can be written as fractions) can be lined up one by one and labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. They form what mathematicians call a countable infinity. The same isn't true of the irrational numbers (those that cannot be written as fractions): they form an uncountably infinite set. In 1873 the mathematician Georg Cantor came up with a beautiful and elegant proof of this fact. First notice that when we put the rational numbers and the irrational numbers together we get all the real numbers: each number on the line is either rational or irrational. If the irrational numbers were countable, just as the rationals are, then the real numbers would be countable too — it's not too hard to convince yourself of that.
So let's suppose the real numbers are countable, so that we can make a list of them, for example
and so on, with every real number occurring somewhere in the infinite list. Now take the first digit after the decimal point of the first number, the second digit after the decimal point of the second number, the third digit after the decimal point of the third number, and so on, to get a new number .
Now change each digit of this new number, for example by adding . This gives the new number . This new number is not the same as the first number on the list, because their first decimal digits are different. Neither is it the same as the second number on the list, because their second decimal digits are different. Carrying on like this shows that the new number is different from every single number on the list, and so it cannot appear anywhere in the list.
But we started with the assumption that every real number was on the list! The only way to avoid this contradiction is to admit that the assumption that the real numbers are countable is false. And this then also implies that the irrational numbers are uncountable.
It's easy to see that an uncountable infinity is "bigger" than a countable one. An uncountable infinity can form a continuum, such as the number line, in a way that a countable infinity can't. Cantor went on to define all sorts of other infinities too, one bigger than the other, with the countable infinity at the bottom of the hierarchy. When he first published these ideas, Cantor faced strong opposition from some of his colleagues. One of them, Henri Poincaré, described Cantor's ideas as a "grave disease" and another, Leopold Kronecker, went so far as to denounce Cantor as a "scientific charlatan" and "corrupter of youth". Cantor suffered severe mental health problems which may have resulted in part from the rejection his work had met with. But we now know that his work had simply come too soon: 150 years on, Cantor's ideas form a central pillar of mathematics and many of his results can be found in standard textbooks.

Climate change threatens the world's glaciers, which is why scientists simulate them on computers. Based on mathematical models, these computer simulations help predict how glaciers are likely to change in the future, depending on environmental factors.
The Aletsch glacier in Switzerland.
But you can also run these simulations backwards in time, to see how a glacier behaved in the past. This is what a mathematician and a glaciologist have just done, not in order to understand glaciers, but in order to solve a mystery. In March 1926 four young men, three of whom were brothers, set off on a tour from the Aletsch glacier in Switzerland, the longest glacier in the Alps. They never returned. It's likely they got caught up in a blizzard that raged in the mountains for several days. Despite an extensive search their bodies could not be found and nobody knew where on their trip they met their end. Eighty-six years later, in the summer of 2012, two English alpinists found the remains of the three brothers and some of their equipment.
The mathematician Guillaume Jouvet of Freie Universität Berlin and the glaciologist Martin Funk of the ETH in Zürich realised that they could use a computer model of glaciers, which Jouvet had developed during his PhD in 2012, to find out where the men had met their death. The model was the first to represent the three-dimensional flow of a glacier, including the velocity of the flow beneath its surface. Starting from the place the men's bones were found, the scientists simulated the evolution of the glacier backwards in time. They found that the bodies probably moved by around 10.5km in the 86 years since they had been swallowed by the ice, at an average speed of 122 meters per year. In 1980 they were buried some 250m below the surface of the ice. And the place of the men's demise could be narrowed down to an area of 1600m by 300m.
Jouvet and Funk hope that they can solve other glacial mysteries using their method. For example, in 1964 a plane carrying US military crashed on the Gauli glacier in Switzerland. Crew and passengers could be rescued, but the plane disappeared in the ice without a trace. Using their model, Juvet and Funk hope to predict when and where it will be released from the ice. And who knows what other icy stories their model will reveal in the future.
Jouvet and Funk's work on the young men who died in 1926 has been published in the Journal of Glaciology. Thanks to our friend Thomas Vogt of the German Mathematical Association for bringing this story to our attention. You can read more about maths, ice and snow here on Plus.

Video: Man Stabbed in Domestic Argument
BUFFALO, NY - Devonte Johnson, a 21-year-old man who was stabbed in the course of a dispute Saturday evening, has died.
Buffalo police spokesman Mike DeGeorge tells us that homicide detectives arrested 25-year-old Jamie Galarza of Buffalo and charged him with murder in the second degree.
The assault happened on the first block of Euclid Place, where Johnson lived, just after 7:30 p.m. The victim was taken to Buffalo General Hospital where he later died.
No word yet on the names of the victim and suspect or what charges have been filed in the case.
Also, on Saturday, a 53-year-old man was stabbed multiple times by a woman he was arguing with on the porch of an address on Condon Avenue. That incident happened at about 11:30 p.m.
The victim was taken to Erie County Medical Center where he is listed in fair condition. The female assailant fled from the scene on foot but police say they know who she is.

APP produces polymer dispersions at sites in Germany, South Korea and in the U.S. It sells products under the Airflex, Vinac, Flexbond...

Dave Cunningham of the SEUHD shows off one kind of surgical mask that can be worn to help ward off illness during the upcoming flu season.
Because the H1N1 flu is already starting to run rampant on certain college campuses across the country, it will only be a matter of time before the virus strikes the general population, too. This fall, some schools have reported high numbers of students who are already infected. For instance, Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, reported that 2,500 students have approached health officials concerning flu-like symptoms since the beginning of school late last month.
Schools, public, private and in higher education, have been gearing up for this problem for some time. But, because of the relative mildness of the outbreak last spring, the general populace has been somewhat complacent.
However, the time for such complacency has ended. As the regular flu season begins and the H1N1 arises as a threat, it will be another virus for business and society in general to contend with. "One of the keys to keeping the numbers down on this [flu] is social distancing," said Southeastern Utah Health Department Manager, Dave Cunningham, during a meeting last week. "The best thing to do to keep the virus from spreading is to keep your distance from people. And if someone has something communicable, that person should be isolated from others so they can't spread it."
Obviously, the world wouldn't work too well if everyone stayed home and hid until the danger was over. So, the Center for Disease Control has listed steps for people to take to help keep the spread of H1N1 down, and for that matter, to help lower the incidence of regular flu as well. Standards apply here; things most everyone has learned to do since they were little kids.
When coughing and sneezing, cover the nose with a sleeve or a tissue. If a tissue is used, throw it away after it has been used.
Hand washing, using generous amounts of soap and water, should be very regular, particularly if one coughs or sneezes. Using alcohol-based hand cleaners can also be very effective.
If one comes down with flu-like symptoms, the CDC advises people to stay at home and avoid contact with people. Stay home for 24 hours after the fever naturally ends (not based on medications).
"Last spring, information was going around that you had to stay away from others for seven days after the fever," said Cunningham. "That has been revised down to 24 hours now."
Experience from last spring's illnesses showed that some groups were more susceptible to H1N1 than others. And some groups within that group will also be affected more than others. Groups that can be affected more drastically include children under five years old, women who are pregnant and people who have chronic health problems (any age). Chronic problems include asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. Anyone over 65 years of age is also at greater risk.
However, seasonal flu will also be raising its head during the next few months as well. How can people tell the difference? In H1N1, the disease starts with a fever, then proceeds with a sore throat and then a cough. People get sick very fast. The disease is also accompanied by severe body aches.
There is a test, but, this fall, only a small minority of people will be tested for H1N1; just enough to get the prevalence numbers set so health officials can determine how the disease in proceeding.

Home Remedy: Facial Mask
Here is what you need for this face mask. 6-12 aspirins, crushed up. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. 3 tablespoons of baking soda.
Tara Erwin is our mom tester and with two boys and a baby on the way, anytime she can save time and money. it's a big deal!
Here's how this works. Just crush up the aspirin and mix in the lemon juice to make a paste. Put it on your face, like you would any type of facial mask. Then, let it dry for around ten minutes.
Once it is dry, take a damp cotton ball and rub it in the baking soda and then put it on your face, over the other paste. This will burn a bit as the soda and lemon mix. Rub it over your face and then rinse with warm water.
This inexpensive home remedy will leave you with smaller pores, smoother skin and you'll have a bit of a glow. It does work.

Is the math off on Mets estimated payroll numbers?
According to estimates from MLB Trade Rumors and Matt Schwarz, based on raises and arbitration totals, if the Mets fill their remaining eight roster spots with players making the league minimum, they will begin next season with a $96 million payroll.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
It's worth noting that Johan Santana has $5 million of his salary deferred, so that might actually reduce this number to $91 million. On the other hand, most teams also budget for buyouts and incentives, so who knows what impact that has on payroll and budget. The point is, while it's fun to speculate, doing so to the penny is always going to be an inaccurate and difficult exercise, because we just don't know the real details…
Also, we often focus on 'payroll,' but this time of year the real debate should be around 'budget,' and, unfortunately, we also really get to know that real number. I've heard some insiders speculate that the budget is around $105 million for 2013, but that the Opening Day payroll can end up around $100 million (I guess leaving money for mid-season acquisitions, or maybe buyouts, incentives, etc.). I've seen others report no budget, but a total estimated payroll of $95 million. Sandy Alderson had said in public that next year's payroll will be around $100 million, but does that mean on Opening Day or at the end of the year? And, does his $100 million include buyouts, deferred payments, etc.?
In the end, despite the specific figures, multiple reports and sources suggest the Mets can spend around $5 to $10 million on new acquisitions this winter – after picking up David Wright's and RA Dickey's options. I don't know how that number is determined, but I'm going with it since I've heard it and read it in more than one place. Of course, if they trade a Jon Niese, or reduce Wright's 2013 salary by way of his long-term extension, or trade Dickey and his $5.5 million, that could slightly adjust that number I suppose.
The point is, my advice is to not get super bogged down in the specific numbers. In either case, we're splitting hairs, because we're talking about a million here and a million here, maybe more, maybe less, and we're talking about the difference between a $100 million payroll and $140 million, which is what I think most Mets fans wish this team was spending.

When volunteers perform renovations at the Boyd Street home of Sgt. Esdras M. Lucero and Jessica P. Neri-Lucero this weekend, theyll be doing more than aiding a soon-to-be-retired Fort Drum soldier whose house had become unlivable after years of unsuccessful repairs.
Theyll be creating a home for new parents of four who had struggled for years to have children.
It feels like everything is coming together, Sgt. Lucero said. Life doesnt come together this cleanly almost ever.
Ms. Neri-Lucero delivered quintuplets at Banner Desert Hospital, Mesa, Ariz., on Dec. 25 and 26. Though the Luceros could have had the babies delivered in Syracuse, they chose the Arizona hospital because of its expertise in delivering multiple babies. Their caution was heightened after they lost a set of twins during birth in April.
Ms. Neri-Lucero and four of the children, who have been taken out of special care in the past few days, are in good health. The first of the five babies, Leila Maxine, died during delivery.
Mr. Lucero said he and his wife wanted their childrens names rooted in American history.
The childrens names are Adrian Normandy, after the D-Day landing site; Drew Neil, for astronaut Neil Armstrong; Amada Barbara, after the patron saint of field artillery, St. Barbara, and Pearl Harbor, for the Navy base in Hawaii attacked during World War II.
Leila Maxines name was inspired by boxer Muhammad Alis daughter.
The Luceros had struggled for about three years to have children, going through multiple fertility treatments.
In addition to having her right ovary destroyed during the removal of a cancerous tumor the size of a football, Ms. Neri-Lucero was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a disorder that creates an imbalance of hormones and makes it harder for a woman to ovulate. The condition is often linked to infertility.
After losing the twins in April, the two had considered giving up on having children and were looking at adoption possibilities.
After learning about the quintuplets in June, the Luceros said several doctors advised them to reduce their pregnancy from five to two babies. The doctors suggested if they did not do so, the odds were higher Ms. Neri-Lucero could die in labor because of her small size at 5-foot-2.
Citing their faith and lack of certainty a reduction would improve the odds of Ms. Neri-Luceros survival, the couple proceeded with all five babies.
The babies were delivered when Ms. Neri-Lucero was 29 weeks pregnant, six weeks short of doctors goal of 35 weeks.
Ms. Neri-Lucero, still in Arizona, will return to the area with the children in about a week.
The home she will return to is greatly improved from when she left for the hospital in October.
Since buying the home in October 2010, the Luceros have struggled to fix it up, putting in more than $20,000 in savings for repairs. Sgt. Lucero said he did not inspect the home as thoroughly as necessary when they bought it.
Additionally, they believe a contractor they employed, whom they declined to name, hurt the efforts by performing what they called incomplete and unsafe work. For much of that period, Sgt. Lucero was deployed to Afghanistan.
When a Times reporter first visited the home in September, several serious problems were pointed out by Sgt. Steven D. Baugher, a family friend with years of construction experience who had helped the Luceros outline the problems in the home to Sgt. Luceros chain of command.
Among the serious issues discovered were an electrical line underneath a bathtub, creating a major risk of electrocution; outdated aluminum wiring and wiring in the kitchen through a surge protector and extension cord. The mortar chimney was falling apart, creating a risk it could fall.
In addition, much of the foundation was uneven and improperly set, gas and water were being run through incorrect piping and many of the windows were not properly set, creating severe heat loss. A red The Price is Right shirt covered a hole in the wall where a window was not properly installed in the homes upstairs bathroom.
The lack of insulation forced the Luceros to live in the sitting room, smaller than an average college dorm room. With only one functioning outlet, they would decide whether to run a small space heater, watch television or charge a computer. They eventually moved to a hotel with their three dogs when the weather made it too cold to stay.
The home repairs were made possible by Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides support for military families in financial crises and coordinated the contracting work, along with Home Depot, which gave much of the funding.
Its been a long road, said Tracy L. Handschuh, programs manager for Operation Homefront in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area, who first spoke with the family in August. Im glad Ive been able to share their journey.
She said contractors had worked their tails off putting in new insulation, fixing the plumbing and electrical outlets and remodeling the home.
From Sheetrock to flooring to pulling up nails, its been a lot, Mrs. Handschuh said.
The two main contractors involved in the project were Cowles & Company and Dans Remodeling Co., both of Watertown.
Crews today and Sunday will be at the home doing mostly aesthetic work such as painting, hanging blinds and installing closet materials.
For the Lucero family, the new house comes as Sgt. Lucero prepares to end his seven-year Army career, with his final day coming Thursday.
Sgt. Lucero will receive a monthly stipend through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder related to injuries he sustained in 2009 in Iraq when he was hit in the back of the head by a 30-pound ammunition can, fracturing two disks at the top of his neck.
He said he and his wife planned to live in the area and attend courses at Jefferson Community College paid for through the militarys GI Bill benefits. Sgt. Lucero said at some point hed like to pursue a degree in aeronautical engineering.
Sgt. Lucero said he would also use his time to continue to serve as president of Walkways for Warriors, a local group he founded that helps wounded soldiers and Gold Star families with basic household chores such as grass mowing and snow shoveling.

Written by Jerry Carnes
MARIETTA, Ga. (WXIA) -- A Marietta woman accused of using her two young children to steal items from a Cobb County Walmart was released by officers because she is pregnant with another child.
Marietta Police say Lakesha Michelle Gilchrist will be arrested after she's delivered the child that's due any day.
Officers have issued a warrant that accuses Gilchrist of taking her 10 and 15-year-old daughters into the Walmart on Cobb Parkway, where she "did knowingly and willfully encourage, cause, abet, connive, or aid" her children "to help steal merchandise valued at $1,582.98."
Police say Gilchrest and her children tried to leave the store with three shopping carts filled toys, clothes, and other household items.
Officers were called to the store but did not immediately arrest Gilchrist. Marietta Police Officer David Baldwin says there was concern that taking Gilchrist to jail when she's nine months pregnant could put stress on the unborn child.
"What if she's arrested and there are complications?" said Baldwin. "We really want to minimize any possible complications to this baby. It's not the baby's fault the mother made poor choices."
Baldwin pointed out that Gilchrist is not facing charges that involve a violent crime, and she is not considered a flight risk.
No one answered the door at the apartment listed on the warrant as Gilchrist's home address.
Gilchrist is facing felony shoplifting charges, as well as two misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Police say the 10 and 15-year-old have been turned over to other family members.

Students who transfer from out-of-state schools should check with the MCC counseling or development center to find out how they can meet this requirement.
The semester before completing all of their degree requirements, prospective MCC graduates must file an application for receiving their degrees with the admissions/records office. Once the form is filed, students will receive an evaluation and additional information.

Rate Dr. Jan T. Rydfors
Dr. Jan T. Rydfors's Ratings
Dr. Rydfors is great! I have been seeing him for 11 years. I was 13 when I started seeing him and he diagnosed me with endometriosis. He was great, he never forgot how young I was and always treated me accordingly. He has a great memory also, he always asks about my schooling and family and remembers details from previous visits. He does run very late, but when you are with him he makes you feel like you are his only patient and takes all the time you need. He will also squeeze you in if you are having problems and he feels he needs to see you sooner than his next available appointment. Definitely worth the wait!!

Great doctor, horrible punctuality. Frequently waited over an hour to see him; staff was not good about letting you know when he was running late.

I love this doctor. I have PCOS and he's been really responsive and caring unlike any other doctor I have met. He is very knowledgeable. His staff is really nice too. One thing though is that his office always runs late, sometimes by a couple hours. So call ahead to see if they are running and bring a book to read. If you make an appt, try to do so in the morning so to avoid waiting in his office.

Takes the time to make you feel like all of your questions are answered. Responsive to any kind of concern. Hands on and listens well. Although he may be running late, if you call in advance, you can find out how late he is running.

For the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, what could be better for collectors than his ultimate foe in truly British styling; Character unveils its Doctor Who 12-inch British Icon Dalek
This ultimate Doctor Who collectable 12-inch Dalek has been produced exclusively in Doctor Who's 50th anniversary year. Beautifully displayed in the Union Flag, it celebrates the Daleks as a British icon and is ideal gift for all Doctor Who fans. This limited edition freewheeling Dalek features poseable arm, head and eye while us having the ability to voice 10 Dalek phrases with lights and sound FX.
The Daleks were created by the Kaled scientist, Davros as travel machines. Davros had deduced that the years of radiation and chemical poisoning from an ongoing war would lead his race to mutate into immobile organisms. The Dalek travel machines would house these creatures and allow the Kaleds to survive.
In the course of his experiments however, Davros deliberately removed what he considered to be debilitating emotions from the mutants and a force of evil was spawned!
Suitable for ages 5 years and over it will be a must have for the many generations of fans that the Timelord has gained in the past 5 decades.

Plant Nomenclature and Taxonomy
The Plant Nomenclature and Taxonomy Professional Section is a resource for education, information dissemination, research and discussion about plant names. Problems with plant names abound in public gardens and the horticulture industry. Institutions and individuals face confusing issues regarding accurate reference sources for cultivar names, the use of trademarks by nurseries and plant breeders, the usefulness of various on-line taxonomic databases and the impact of molecular biology techniques on traditional botanical taxonomy. Furthermore, many curators and plant records professionals do not feel confident that they are aware of all proposed plant name changes affecting plants in their collections. There is not presently a resource that consolidates such information from the wide array of journals where the proposals are published. Recognizing the need for an accessible, well-organized mechanism to deal with an increasingly complex set of issues, this group supports the APGA mission by helping members in public gardens promote horticulture, provide education, conduct botanical research and engage in plant conservation. Although it is likely to benefit curators and plant records professionals primarily, it will also benefit other members who write about plants, promote horticulture and offer educational opportunities to the public.

Tampa, Florida -- Tampa Police are investigating a deadly crash scene in the area of North Nebraska and Hillsborough Avenue.
Tampa Police say it all started with a fight between two women at the Interstate Lounge.
As officers arrived at the bar, one of the women involved was seen leaving in a white Pontiac Grand AM. Police say the driver then accelerated and drove up onto the sidewalk in an attempt to run over two men walking on the sidewalk as her passenger yelled at the men.
PHOTOS: Driver dead after attempting to rundown 2 men on sidewalk
One jumped out of the way while the other was knocked to the ground.
As the driver tried to get away from the area, driving with her headlights off, she lost control of her car and crashed near Nebraska Avenue and Giddens before the officer could catch up.
The driver was killed and her passenger, a male, taken to the hospital with a broken leg.
Police identify the driver as 25-year-old Kathleen Trombley. Her passenger is identified as 38-year-old Patrick Simmons.
Police say they expect to be on scene for several more hours as they investigate the crash. If this area is part of your morning commute, expect delays. Nebraska Avenue is closed between Hillsborough Avenue and Shadowlawn.

Read: Helping The Mediator Find Middle Ground, Salary Cap and the Owners Relenting On Contract Issues
Right now the NHL and NHLPA are in the process of mediation and at ESPN.com, Craig Custance offers his help to get the mediators to find a middle ground for the two sides.
Custance says that the middle ground for Make Whole is fairly simple and should be around $290 to $300 million. The NHL is currently offering $211 million, likely to go down, while the NHLPA wants $393 million.
Custance thinks that limiting contracts to five years and having a salary variance is redundant so he thinks it would be smart to keep the variance but limit contracts to 8-10 years.
In regards to where the salary cap will end up, Larry Brooks writes in the NY Post that the NHLPA has proposed as system where the salary cap and salary floor would be 20% of the midpoint which would give more of a range than the expired CBA did.
The NHL reportedly is offering a midpoint of $52 million and the ceiling and floor either being $8 million form the mid-point or 10%, whichever is higher.
Andy Strickland writes at True Hockey that the owners are going to relent on contract issues as long as they "win" on back diving contracts. He adds that he believes there will be a season and that many players have lost respect for Brendan Shanahan who sits in on the meetings but doesn't say anything.

By Robert L WarrenEast Carbon City
I am writing this as an open letter to Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater, Republican candidates for Utah Senator.
Utah's Republican delegates threw anti-gun Senator Bob Bennett to the curb. Conservative activists across the country are celebrating this success. Republicans are usually a solid supporter of the Second Amendment. However, you have ignored to answer National Association for Gun Rights' Federal Candidate Survey asking where you stand on gun rights and the second amendment.
You see, we are only one or two votes shy in the U.S. Senate of losing our right to keep and bear arms.We have the most anti-gun administration in nearly 20 years. The last time such a rabid anti-gunner was in charge in Washington, we got the Brady Bill, a ban on an entire class of semi-automatic hunting and target rifles, and millions of gun owners lost their rights.
A simple answer of yes or no will be sufficient, determining my upcoming vote for Utah Senator. In some cases, politicians refuse to answer the tough questions asked them. Unfortunately, when politicians refuse to answer, it virtually always means they would vote anti-gun if elected. Often, it is a sign that they are hiding their anti-gun views.
Therefore, the questions is, do you support Americans individual right to keep and bear arms?
Do you support banning semi-automatic sporting and hunting rifles?
Are you in favor of the U.N. gun controls that are right now looming over our head?
Should you continue to refuse to return the National Association for Gun Rights question, Utah gun owners should view the silence as anti-gun and vote accordingly.
I await your timely response.

Helicore strings are praised for their warm, gut-like sound and longevity.
D'Addario's Helicore strings are justifiably popular; they offer a warm, rich sound that's remarkably similar to gut or synthetic core strings. Unlike gut, however, their all-metal construction renders them impervious to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. Helicore strings have a multi-strand high-carbon steel core that produces flexible response and range. The core is overlaid with exotic alloy windings that provide extremely quick bow response and outstanding projection. The end result is a versatile string with very long playing life that is extremely stable under all playing conditions.

Comments about D'Addario Helicore 4/4 Size Heavy Violin Strings:
I am a miserable violinist. My tone on the wound strings, when I fingered them,was terrible. I thought that this could be due to my heavy grip causing the pitch to waver in an unpleasant fashion. I ordered the D'Addario Helicore 4/4 Size Heavy Violin Strings from Musician's Friend and installed them on my violin, The heavier strings made all the difference, I can stand my tone now. It is bolder and less tentative. Great strings for a Neanderthal like me.

Comments about D'Addario Helicore 4/4 Size Heavy Violin Strings:
Always pleased with these strings.
Comments about D'Addario Helicore 4/4 Size Heavy Violin Strings:
I've been using the medium tension strings for a couple of years and just decided to try the heavies. I will probably not go back to the mediums after using these strings. They're noticably louder than the mediums and they play much smoother. I feel like I don't have to work as hard to get the right tone.
Really nice strings. Noticably louder than the mediums and very well ballanced. The wound E string whistles much less than my previous unwound E.
The break in time was nearly nonexistent. They're not overly bouncy and they feel great under my fingers.
Great value considering these strings are almost half the price of many other strings like Dominant and Pirastro.
