"Discover data to back up" feature
I got a question regarding the 'discover data to back up' feature that reports servers currently not backed up.
I'm getting false positives from windows XP clients, how do i blacklist certain hostnames while still keeping the feature turned on ?
The same applies for servers, i've removed the agent, i've removed it from BE but it still adds itself to BE backup & restore tab.
Its roughly 2 months until i can completely turn those 2 servers off and its bit annoying having it reappear and being notified :(

Any way you can put in an exclusion for the 2 servers in question?
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
I do not see any option to exclude some machines in network being checked by BE. Enable the feature or Disable. Nothing to customize.
...seems like if you have MAPI installed it will automatically detect the servers even without a RAWS agent installed...do you have MAPI installed on these 2 servers?
Otherwise I will also hit the support flag...if nobody from Symantec gets back to you here, you might have to log a call with them to get it sorted out. Then post back here with that solution and close this off!
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
we have the same problem, but until now we have only workarounds and no solutions. All of these are not tested.
1. You could add those 2 Servers and XP Clients to your BE Servers List. For the Workstations you could create a group and move them to this group or use a filter on your view.
Downside: You have to install the BE Agent for Windows on all Clients.
From the BE Admin Guide (page 537/538):
"The data discovery operation only discovers the servers that meet the following
■ Belongs to the same domain as the Backup Exec server
■ Has the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service enabled and
■ Allows WMIaccess for the same user that the Backup Exec Management Service
runs under
Members of the server's "Administrators" group have this level of access.
■ Has firewalls that are configured to allow WMI network traffic"
2. Disable WMI on your Clients
3. If you need WMI. Block WMI ports/traffic on your Firewall Hardware Appliance, but only for the scenario "BE Server -> DHCP Range of Clients"
The customer finally agreed with me and we've decided to just disable that feature completely.
@azs. I appreicate the time for writing workarounds but that just isnt an option for us.
For example, we use WMI to filter GPO's.
Personally i think BE should have better checks, pretty odd having XP clients being reported as servers, even if they would have server like services. It should still be treated like a client imo.

Icons and upstarts in butterfly mimicry.
Ritland, David*,1, 1 Erskine College, Due West, SC
ABSTRACT- Ritland and Brower's provocatively titled "The Viceroy Is Not a Batesian Mimic" referred to predicted contemporary ecological mimicry roles of viceroy (Limenitis archippus), monarch (Danaus plexippus), and queen (D. gilippus) butterflies in the populations studied. Moderately unpalatable viceroys contribute to predator learning, reinforcing learning based on previous experience with monarchs or queens, and thus creating a relationship more akin to mutualistic Mullerian than to parasitic Batesian mimicry. The timeframe for acquisition of unpalatability by viceroys is not known, but I speculate that in evolutionary terms, the viceroy initially evolved as a Batesian mimic of danaine models. The considerable divergence of viceroy (but not danaine) phenotype from sister taxa, the existence of other mimetic species in the Limenitis lineage, and the exactness of the viceroy's mimicry support this view. I propose that viceroys have enhanced their storage and/or synthesis of defensive chemicals relatively recently due to hostplant shifts and concomitant decreases in unpalatability of their long-time models, monarchs and queens.

So scary it's pretty
The Fall Communication Scholarship Showcase featured the Department of Communication's level of activity and many emerging scholarly publications.
When Anne Harris was a child, she loved to draw on sheets of butcher paper with her siblings and mother. If no paper were available, she would draw in the air. As Dr. Seuss would say, she drew and drew and drew.
In first grade, she started drawing faces.
"I became obsessed with pretty faces - pictures in magazines, cartoon stylizations of pretty faces, makeup ... these waxy faced females ... so I was making a face by drawing the surface mask - weirdly the same issues I'm still pondering."
Harris will share her ponderings, influences and process in a free artist talk Friday, March 21 at 7 p.m. in ETSU's Ball Hall Auditorium with a Q&A and reception with the artist to follow.
Nowadays, the art professor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago paints torsos, as well, and most often, the subject is some illusory image of herself.
"To sum it up simplistically," Harris said in National Portrait Gallery Face to Face blog, "I've been painting the same freaky self-portrait for the last twenty-five years."
Her freaky self-portraits with "ghoulish red-rimmed eyes" and "distortions of weirdly lit flesh" have been called "seductively beautiful and disturbingly ugly," searing in honesty and brutally frank. In a 2013 exhibition in New York, Harris dubbed them "phantasmatical" - unreal and fantastic.
"I tend, inevitably, to veer toward the grotesque, although I'm never aiming for that," she told Huffington Post reviewer John Seed.
"Really, my best paintings seem to happen between subtlety and the grotesque ... I realize I'm trying to make a beautiful painting of a subject many won't consider beautiful."
ETSU painting Professor Mira Gerard has followed Harris' work for years and interviewed her in December for Figure/Ground Communication. Gerard does find beauty in the technique, if not always the topic and thinks the ETSU community will also. "I think her paintings are hard not to love, even if the imagery seems bizarre," Gerard says.
"They're so beautifully crafted. There's so much luminosity in her tonal shifts and the way she handles the light on the flesh of the figures. They are just gorgeous paintings ....
"If somebody thought the paintings were weird I would say, 'What if instead of being something that is calming and pretty, you think about the work in the way you would think about a really complex book you would read or a song that puts you in a mood?' Sometimes people think about paintings and they want them to be very pleasing and pretty ... A movie can be scary. Why can't a painting be considered scary? Maybe a painting can be something other than one idea."
Harris and her psychological self-portraits can bring much to the conversation, says Anita DeAngelis, director of Mary B. Martin School of the Arts, co-sponsor with ETSU's Department of Art & Design.
"The artists we help Art & Design bring to speak are often discussed or included for instructional purposes in classrooms or artists who are on the cutting edge or getting some attention in the contemporary art world," DeAngelis says.
"Anne Harris serves in both capacities - and she is not only a well-known painter but also a longtime art educator."
Harris, who holds a bachelor of fine arts from Washington University in St. Louis and an MFA from Yale, indeed proffers a rich résumé. She has participated in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions. Exhibitions from the past year include her solo exhibition Phantasmatical: Self Portraits, at Alexandre Gallery in New York; the OBPC exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery; The Female Gaze: Women Artists Making Their World, at the PAFA Museum; and The Mind's I, a collaborative drawing project organized by Harris at Julius Caesar Gallery, Chicago. She also teaches in the BFA and MFA programs at SAIC and lives in Riverside, Ill., just outside Chicago.
She brings "touches of the Old Masters" to her work and to discussions of art, with a love for art regardless of time period, as long as, she says, "it mesmerizes."
"I make it a point, when teaching, to discuss all art as contemporary, that it all exists now," Harris said in her interview with Gerard.
"That paintings can be widely diverse in subject matter and yet offer a similar experience, be about something fundamentally akin. So, at the AIC, I'll take my students to see the [Dieric] Bouts Sorrowing Madonna, and we'll then go see an Ad Reinhardt black painting and will talk about the commonalities."
This breadth of knowledge, understanding and perspective will benefit all who come to the Friday evening talk, as well as studio and classroom visits while Harris is in town, Gerard says.
"Anne has a gift of being able to communicate ideas about looking more deeply at art and she will be able to talk to students in such a way that they might bring that back to where they are sitting in art history class or in a museum and just slow down and unpack the mysteries of great work," she says.
"That is such a valuable thing and as a young student it was probably the most important thing that helped me grow ... She has a way of communicating ideas that is compelling."
Although, it is not all pretty, expected and/or classical, the Chicago painter has a lot to communicate, in her work and in her discussions online and in person.
"I hope the work produces questions, instead of just answers," Harris said in an interview with Blouin Art Info at Phastasmatical.
"We actually had a student in Advanced Painting Studio here who asked, in his final crit, if his paintings were answers or questions - a brilliant way to begin a critique. My hope is that mine function as questions - that they leave you wondering. "The meaning is going to come from the conversation it has with you."

Football playoffs bring much-needed revenue to high school sports programs
Moorpark High athletic director Rob Dearborn always wants the school's football team to win the Marmonte League title.
But this season he had a little extra incentive.
Moorpark's athletic budget is not meeting projections, and Dearborn was recently forced to make some cuts.
But the football title the team won assured the school would host a playoff game, and the revenue generated could help alleviate the shortfall.
"I was financially ecstatic because you don't want it to get progressively worse during the year," Dearborn said. "What do you do if you run out of money? You have to at least be able to pay officials. That is the bottom line."
The economic downturn has affected all sectors of society, and high school sports programs are not immune.
Soaring transportation costs, cuts in funding and dwindling donations are putting the squeeze on athletic departments.
Football playoffs for the Southern Section of the California Interscholastic Federation begin Friday night, and participating schools are hoping they can provide a little relief.
Football is the biggest revenue generator for most athletic budgets. The money gained from gate receipts and concession sales helps fund other sports on campus.
Attending football games is still a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment, and success can galvanize an entire community.
Schools can average $8,000 to $12,000 in gate receipts from home games, and everyone gets a share in the playoffs. Each school receives a 20 percent cut of ticket sales, while CIF gets 60 percent.
If the travel distance isn't too far and attendance is high, programs can come out ahead.
"Two thousand dollars might not sound like a big deal, but nowadays you are glad to get it," Thousand Oaks High athletic director Jason Klinger said. "You want to support all your programs as best you can, and football being in the playoffs is definitely a bump for the overall budget."
Many athletic directors have been tightening the purse strings and reminding coaches to do the same.
With the state's severe budget deficit and massive debt, they realize districts want to keep cuts away from the classroom. That could put even more athletic funding on the chopping block.
In his 11 years as Moorpark's athletic director, Dearborn has always been above his budget projections. But this year, he is running a shortfall of nearly $10,000.
The Moorpark Unified School District used to subsidize 50 percent of Moorpark's athletic transportation costs, but that was taken away this year.
The cost to rent buses has nearly doubled because of higher gas prices, and parents have been paying the extra fees, Dearborn said.
A district cut in stipends resulted in the elimination of 34 coaching jobs and three groundskeeping jobs at Moorpark this year.
Football coach Tim Lins has even chipped in by mowing the grass and lining the fields when necessary.
"That has never really happened in the past," Dearborn said. "But we are blessed with great facilities, and every coach here wants to continue to keep them that way."
Pacifica High athletic director Will Cowen has been spared any drastic cuts to his budget this year aside from a few pieces of equipment.
The Oxnard Union High School District is covering Pacifica's transportation costs for the football team's long road trip to Paso Robles on Friday.
"We have always had a very athletically friendly district and haven't had any restrictions really in terms of being able to play games," Cowen said. "We certainly try as hard as we can to be cost-efficient in whatever we do."
Since taking over as athletic director at Ventura High five years ago, Dave Hess has watched his budget progressively shrink.
While equipment and maintenance costs have remained relatively stable, transportation has skewed the numbers dramatically.
For Ventura's playoff game at Valencia, Hess hopes just to break even.
The school is renting four buses, which will cost about $2,000.
The Ventura Unified School District provides a small annual subsidy for athletic transportation, but nowhere near enough, Hess said.
"You have to start to find a way to make ends meet and borrow from here to pay off things there," he said. "It can get pretty stressful."
Santa Paula typically draws a large crowd to its home games, and the playoffs have only increased the fervor in the close-knit city. The support has helped keep Santa Paula's athletic budget fully funded.
"We are lucky in that we've had a generous outpouring of contributions from the community to our athletic program," said Santa Paula's acting athletic director, Paul Marietti. "Our community and the businesses have been great, and the kids do their share of fundraising. Somehow, we always seem to meet our needs."
Football is expected to contribute about $53,000 to an overall athletic budget of a little more than $100,000 at Thousand Oaks.
The Lancers took a hit this season by having a home game on Halloween night. The poor attendance resulted in only $2,000 in gate receipts. But hosting a playoff game might offset the loss.
"It's obviously going to be a nice little bump," Klinger said. "Hopefully, it will be more than one home game. Obviously, the priority is to have the team be successful. But as an athletic director in tough times, it's always good to make a little extra money."
Moorpark has been trying to raise money for athletics, but it had to postpone a dinner auction because not enough tickets were sold.
Dearborn anticipated the setback after what the baseball team experienced at its golf tournament fundraiser earlier in the year.
"During the auction part at the end, they felt like they were giving stuff away," Dearborn said. "People are usually pretty generous at those events because they are donating to the school when they buy things. But everybody is feeling it."
Although playoff euphoria may last a few weeks, there appears to be no financial relief on the horizon.
Schools are bracing for potential midyear cuts, and sports programs fear that cash-strapped businesses might pull sponsorships and donations will be less plentiful.
"It's going to be hold-your-breath time," Klinger said. "That is where the pressure comes on the booster club, and even that will be a problem because you are talking about parents who could be struggling."

Idaho Climate and Water Resource Forecasts for the 2006 Water Year
October 13, 2005
The Climate Impacts Group Annual Fall Forecast Meetings
Every fall, the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington hosts workshops highlighting the seasonal climate forecast and water resource outlook for the Pacific Northwest (PNW) for the upcoming water year.
The information presented at these meetings provides public and private resource managers the opportunity to consider how projected seasonal streamflow levels may affect operational decisions in the Pacific Northwest.
The meetings also provide the opportunity to learn about new water resource forecasting techniques and tools.
The Climate Impacts Group's (CIG's) Idaho fall forecast meeting provided an opportunity to hear how forecasted climate conditions for the winter 2005-2006 may affect regional climate and streamflow conditions in the Columbia and Snake River Basins in 2006. The meeting also provided a forum for sharing the latest research on climate impacts and climate forecasting in the Pacific Northwest (PNW).
The Idaho fall forecast meeting was held on October 13, 2005 at the Idaho Department of Water Resources in Boise (map).
The fall forecast meetings are open to the public.

January 6 is known in western Christian tradition as Epiphany. It goes by other names in various church traditions. In Hispanic and Latin culture, as well as some places in Europe, it is known as Three Kings' Day ( Span:
el Dia de los Tres Reyes
la Fiesta de Reyes
, or
el Dia de los Reyes Magos;
). Because of differences in church calendars, mainly between the Eastern Orthodox and the western Catholic and Protestant traditions, both Christmas and Epiphany have been observed at different times in the past. Today, most of the Eastern Orthodox traditions follow the western church calendar. The exceptions are some Greek Orthodox Churches and related traditions (
, Russian and Serbian Orthodox ) that still follow the older calendar and celebrate Epiphany as the Theophany on January 19th.
Epiphany is the climax of the Christmas Season and the
Twelve Days of Christmas
, which are counted from December 25th until January 5th. The day
Epiphany is the twelfth day of Christmas, and is sometimes called Twelfth Night, an occasion for feasting in some cultures. In some cultures, the baking of a special King's Cake is part of the festivities of Epiphany ( a
King's Cake is part of the observance of
Mardi Gras
in French Catholic culture of the Southern USA
In traditional Christian churches
, as well as
, is celebrated as a period of time, a season of the church year, rather than just a day. The Season of Christmas begins with the First Sunday of
, marked by expectation and anticipation, and concludes with
, which looks ahead to the mission of the church to the world in light of the Nativity. The one or two Sundays between Christmas Day and Epiphany are sometimes called Christmastide. For many Protestant church traditions, the season of Epiphany extends from January 6th until
Ash Wednesday
, which begins the season of
leading to
. Depending on the timing of Easter, this includes from four to nine Sundays. Other traditions, especially the Roman Catholic tradition, observe Epiphany as a single day, with the Sundays following Epiphany counted as
Ordinary Time
. In some western traditions, the last Sunday of Epiphany is celebrated as Transfiguration Sunday.
The term
means "to show" or "to make known" or even "to reveal." In Western churches, it remembers the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to visit the Christ child, who by so doing "reveal" Jesus to the world as Lord and King. In some Central and South American countries influenced by Catholic tradition, Three Kings' Day, or the night before, is the time for opening Christmas presents. In some eastern churches, Epiphany or the Theophany commemorates Jesus' baptism, with the visit of the Magi linked to Christmas. In some churches the day is celebrated as Christmas, with Epiphany/Theophany occurring on January 19th.
The colors of Epiphany are usually the colors of Christmas, white and gold, the colors of celebration, newness, and hope that mark the most sacred days of the church year. In traditions that only observe a single day for Epiphany, the colors are often changed after Epiphany to the colors of
Ordinary Time
, usually green or thematic sanctuary colors, until Transfiguration Sunday, the last Sunday before the beginning of Lent. The colors for Transfiguration Sunday are usually the colors of Holy Days, white and gold.
As with most aspects of the Christian liturgical calendar, Epiphany has theological significance as a teaching tool in the church. The Wise Men or Magi who brought gifts to the infant Jesus were the first Gentiles to acknowledge Jesus as "King" and so were the first to "show" or "reveal" Jesus to a wider world as the incarnate Christ. This act of worship by the Magi, which corresponded to Simeon's blessing that this child Jesus would be
"a light for revelation to the Gentiles"
( Luke 2: 32 ), was one of the first indications that Jesus came for all people, of all nations, of all races, and that the work of God in the world would not be limited to only a few.
The day is now observed as a time of focusing on the mission of the church in reaching others by "showing" Jesus as the Savior of all people. It is also a time of focusing on Christian brotherhood and fellowship, especially in healing the divisions of prejudice and bigotry that we all too often create between God's children.
Father, we thank you for revealing yourself to us in Jesus the Christ, we who once were not your people but whom you chose to adopt as your people. As ancient Israel confessed long ago, we realize that it was not because of our own righteousness, or our own superior wisdom, or strength, or power, or numbers. It was simply because you loved us, and chose to show us that love in Jesus.
As you have accepted us when we did not deserve your love, will you help us to accept those whom we find it hard to love ? Forgive us, O Lord, for any attitude that we harbor that on any level sees ourselves as better or more righteous than others. Will you help us to remove the barriers of prejudice and to tear down the walls of bigotry, religious or social ? O Lord, help us realize that the walls that we erect for others only form our own prisons !
Will you fill us so full of your love that there is no more room for intolerance. As you have forgiven us much, will you enable us with your strength to forgive others even more ? Will you enable us through your abiding Presence among us, communally and individually, to live our lives in a manner worthy of the Name we bear ?
May we, through your guidance and our faithful obedience, find new avenues in ways that we have not imagined of holding the Light of your love so that it may be a Light of revelation for all people.
We thank you for your love, praise you for your Gift, ask for your continued Presence with us, and bring these petitions in the name of your Son, who has truly revealed your heart. Amen.

MAC Face & Body "Beaming & Deeply Dashing" Pressed Pigments: Review, Photos, Swatches
On September 13th, MAC released the "Face & Body" Collection. This collection is composed of smaller sized Face & Body foundations, limited edition pressed pigments, and pro sculpting creams.
Today's review will focus solely on the new and limited edition Pressed Pigments. MAC describes these pressed pigments as six pearlescent shades which are creamy and highly concentrated. Apply dry for a subtle and sophisticated translucent finish or wet for high-shine, dramatic dimension. Provides eye-catching sheer-to-moderate buildable coverage and natural dimension finish. Pressed Pigment is delicate. Please handle with care. Each pressed pigment retails for $21.00 each for 0.10 oz.
Beaming Pressed Pigment is described as a high pearl powder in shade NC50. This is a medium golden brown with a matching fine and chunky glitter. I purchased this shade because it was supposed to match my foundation shade(nc50), and offer a soft yet dramatic pearl glow.
Deeply Dashing pressed pigment is described as a high pearl powder in NW55. This is a deep brown with red undertones with fine and chunky glitter. I purchased this shade to be used as a highlight/contour combo. I wanted make use of the shimmer for the highlight area and blend this product down to my contour area to make it all look seamless.
Now to be totally honest with you all.
These pressed pigments are a true glitter nightmare.
Excuse the blurry photo only one that showed off the scary glitter
Let me explain. I'm all for new inventive ideas and products. I love and adore MAC limited edition products and would call myself a collector because I rarely, no wait I hardly EVER return a product to MAC. But my friends these little devils MAY be going back to the store.
They are the most confusing frustrating product I have ever tried to understand. They claim to be pearlescent highlighters with a skin-tone base. Huh? Just typing that made me all kinds of confused. But that for me, translate into a hot wet-looking glittery mess. When you first lay eyes on these they look so fun and you think the possibilities are endless. You know, use as a highlighter on the tops of your cheekbone or use as an eyeshadow enhancer to add a little pop to the eyes. But instead you end up looking like you are sweating glitter chunks. No Bueno!
Both of the pressed pigments that I purchased have a brown base. Think brown eye shadows with glitter. The website claims these are creamy but, I saw/felt no creaminess with these wet or dry. Now I see where MAC was going with these (pressed iridescent powder) I hope but, the delivery is all wrong. These would/will work amazingly for editorial work or fashion shows. But for the everyday person, these will not in my opinion work.
Overall I'm giving these a heck no! A for effort but, big fat F for performance! If you like that sweating glitter look (which may be cute for a late night cocktail) you will love these. I'm going to keep these and try to find a way to make these work.
Here is a picture I shared on Instagram. Do you see that sweaty looking highlight? No Thank you.
The Face & Body Collection is on sell now at all MAC locations and online.
Have you tried these? If so how did you make them work?

Anyone who suffers from a rare adipose disorder should see Dr. Herbst. (or anyone else who needs a fantastic endocrinologist, for that matter.) She was humane, knowledgeable, warm and knew more my rare condition than the last five physicians I have seen. She emailed my results to me within a few days (I had traveled a bit to see her), allowed us to tape the entire visit and she checked me out thoroughly. She also sent pages and pages of lifestyle modifications that might help me and some medications to review with my internist (my local doctor) to try that are generic (therefore affordable) and have helped people like me. I truly do not have enough words to describe my gratitude to this physician. She cares about her patients -- and it shows. I have gone from doctor to doctor seeking help -- she was the only one who knew what I had, and offered ideas that could actually help me. If only all doctors showed the depth of concern for their patients that Dr. Herbst shows. She's an angel!

If I had to pick one word to describe Dr. Karen Herbst, it would be compassionate. She is very knowledgeable and spends time as needed to thoroughly explain things and answer questions. Very rare qualities in this day and time. She is one of the best!

I was absolutely impressed with her ability to diagnose me immediately. She was nice enough to do the biopsy in her office on the same day because I live out of state from her practice.

With a U.S. military strike against Syria appearing less likely, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is renewing his call for a resolution authorizing the president to wage war on Iran over that nation's nuclear program.
"I'm going to get a bipartisan coalition together," Graham (shown on left in photo) said on Mike Huckabee's Fox News program Sunday. "We're going to put together a use-of-force resolution, allowing our country to use military force ... to stop the Iranian nuclear program.... I'm going to need your help, Mike, and the help of Americans and friends of Israel."
Graham is once again sounding the alarm over Iran's nuclear development program, which Iran has said is for peaceful uses of nuclear power, including nuclear energy and the use of nuclear isotopes for medical purposes. Graham and others have concluded that the program is for the development of a nuclear bomb that Iran is likely to use against Israel. Graham's announcement on Huckabee's program is in keeping with a promise he made this summer before a cheering crowd at a gathering of Christians United for Israel.
"If nothing changes in Iran, come September, October, I will present a resolution that will authorize the use of military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb," Graham said at the July 23rd event "The only way to convince Iran to halt their nuclear program is to make it clear that we will take it out," Graham said, echoing comments he made a week earlier when he called the war authorization "the last card to play in a very dangerous situation."

Well, she did claim that she "cured" her son's autism, which is pretty remarkable, considering hundreds of scientists have been working on that affliction for decades now. She probably leveraged one asset all those scientists didn't have: experience co-hosting MTV's Singled Out. She remains on her crusade to convince Americans that autism is called by vaccinations and immunizations, despite scant evidence to support such claims.
Further, she married Jim Carrey, so she has a track record of making bad decisions.
Here are a list of her New Year's resolutions for 2007. They sell her case better than I ever could. (Typos hers)
* sell the pony get a new horse
* try this "thin" anthropoligical experiment" get to my goal weight healthily and stay there
* cahnt for the war in Iraq to cease asap
* chant for Hillary to win
* learn an asian language
"Any Asian language will do, really."
This looks like the list from a deranged 7th grade girl who gets 100% of her news and information from USWeekly.
Again, she married Charlie Sheen, so she can be counted on to pick the wrong guy in an election. She also has proved she's not capable of learning lessons, having jumped from Charlie Sheen to that bastion of integrity and support, Motely Crue bassist Nikke Sixx. She has recently gone on record (in an effort to sell a book) as saying that she had a (gasp!) lesbian experience with another famous Hollywood actress.
Whatever keeps you from breeding, sweetheart.

Putting a Price on a Good Night's Sleep
By ANDREW POLLACK
Published: January 13, 2004
Americans are about to be reminded again how much they need sleep -- and sleeping pills.
A new effort appears to be developing to expand the use of sleeping pills, which because of their potential for abuse have long had a reputation as being in some ways more dangerous than the insomnia they are meant to treat.
Some sleep experts say newer pills are safer than the ones that once caused deaths from overdose. Moreover, some say, there is growing evidence that insomnia is a serious medical condition, not just a nuisance.
''Slowly, we are beginning to identify that insomnia does have some risks associated with it, and when that happens there will be more press to treat it aggressively,'' said Dr. Michael H. Bonnet, director of the sleep laboratory at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio.
But part of the new push is driven by drug company marketing. Two new sleeping pills are expected to be available by the end of next year and their manufacturers hope to have them approved for broader and longer-term use than recommended for previous pills. And the companies are expected to advertise their products, and the problem of insomnia, heavily.
Sepracor, which makes one of the new drugs, recently financed a press seminar on insomnia. The other drug will be marketed by Pfizer, whose vast sales force and ample advertising have helped make best sellers of drugs like Viagra, the cholesterol fighter Lipitor and the painkiller Celebrex.
''What Pfizer sees here is a wonderful opportunity for what they've done'' with those drugs, said Gary A. Lyons, president and chief executive of Neurocrine Biosciences, which developed the drug, indiplon, and licensed it to Pfizer.
Only a small fraction of insomniacs now take prescription sleep-inducing drugs, Mr. Lyons said. ''This is unquestionably one of the largest potential pharmaceutical markets in the world,'' he added.
As a hint of what might come, a public relations campaign was mounted a decade ago when Ambien, now the best-selling sleeping pill, was introduced.
''With a public fearful of sleep medications and reluctant to admit having insomnia, Edelman and client Searle teamed up with the National Sleep Foundation and leading academic institutions to address 'Sleep in America,' '' Edelman, a public relations agency, recounted in a history of its first 50 years.
By emphasizing the safety problem of driving and working while sleepy, ''Edelman helped Searle revitalize a flagging sleep market,'' the company wrote.
Dr. Daniel F. Kripke, professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego, said that drug companies and some sleep doctors, many of them consultants for drug companies, were exaggerating the seriousness of insomnia.
''Frankly, worrying people about sleep is good for the drug companies, it's good for the sleep clinics and maybe it helps people get research funding too,'' said Dr. Kripke, who runs a Web site, the Dark Side of Sleeping Pills, at www.darksideofsleepingpills.com.
There is little evidence that sleeping pills meaningfully improve sleep over the long run, he said. There is even evidence from a survey in the 1980's that regular users of sleeping pills tend to die younger than non-users.
But most experts dismiss that evidence. ''He's about the only person I know of who supports that view,'' said Dr. Andrew D. Krystal, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the sleep research laboratory at Duke who has consulted for Sepracor. He said the consensus was that insomnia is a serious condition and that pills were becoming safer.
''I believe we'll see a shift toward people having effective treatments available that doctors are willing to prescribe and patients are willing to take,'' Dr. Krystal said.
Estimates of the number of people with insomnia vary widely. About 40 percent of adult Americans have at least occasional trouble sleeping, according to the National Sleep Foundation, which promotes understanding of sleep disorders and research on them. Some insomnia is temporary, caused by job worries, for instance.
But an estimated 10 to 15 percent of adults have severe or chronic insomnia. Many cases appear to be caused by an underlying condition like depression or painful arthritis, and the best approach is to treat that underlying condition. But for perhaps 15 to 30 percent of those with chronic insomnia, no known underlying disorder can be found.
Several studies have shown that people with insomnia are more likely than others to become depressed.
Lack of sleep, though not always caused by insomnia, can interfere with social life, job performance and driving. At least one study has shown that sleep deprivation results in poor glucose metabolism, a hallmark of diabetes.
Still, scientists cannot yet point to any study showing that treating insomnia with sleeping pills staves off depression or other diseases. Yet some experts say understanding the dangers of insomnia is only a matter of time.
''Some day we'll see that like smoking, this isn't good for you,'' said Dr. Michael L. Perlis, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the sleep research laboratory at the University of Rochester.

Over the last few decades, a quiet revolution has been taking place in oral health care. The basis for this change has been a shift in thinking for both patients and practitioners. Both patients and practitioners are looking for more "natural" or "holistic" options for oral health care. Holistic oral health care emphasizes the health and wellness of the entire person, not just the health of the oral cavity. This type of oral health care is prevention-based, instead of placing the emphasis on treatment of disease. Holistic oral health care supports the total health of the patient, the practitioner, and the environment alike. Other names for holistic oral health care include "alternative" oral health care and "biological" … [Read more...]
It's Your Mind, How Have You "Set" It?

I felt this article had so much to offer me and the readers of Your Dental Edge, I asked permission to repost it on my site.

Why am I spending so much time pitching Peter and his book? Because his writing has universal application for everyone, but it … [Read more...]
Glidepath to Success.
The molar root canal is probably one of the most challenging procedures in dentistry. Proper planning can help reduce the frustration many of us feel when a difficult case presents itself in our schedule. There is a twofold process when performing a root canal. First is the mental preparation needed to execute and secondly is the technical tools needed to prepare. Mental Preparation Before beginning any procedure, I perform what I like to call my "Kinra Kwik Glance." This is simply a 30-second examination of the radiograph to mentally prepare myself for the challenges that lie ahead. I visualize the tooth from cusp tips to the apex. This short amount of time could save you tremendous time, effort and frustration during the procedure. … [Read more...]
How To Really Listen.
One morning, my wife Eleanor woke up, turned over, and said, "I am not looking forward to this day." I asked her why. What came out is that we were at the start of the Jewish high holy day season, which means colder weather and three weeks of big social meals, long religious services, broken routines, and children out of school. Eleanor didn't grow up with these traditions, and they can be overwhelming. Now, I run a management consulting company; problem solving is what I do. So it didn't take me long to jump in. "Cold weather means ski season is about to start," I said. "You love skiing. And these holiday meals are fun and filled with people you love — they'll make you feel better. And I'll be with you; you … [Read more...]
Does Your Brand Speak Loud & Clear?
A couple weeks ago I had my six-month check-up. Like many people I wasn't looking forward to it—lying on my back for 50 minutes while the dental hygienist tsked-tsked me for not flossing enough. That wasn't all. She told me I needed to slow down while brushing and not press so hard against my gums. In addition, I should consider braces. In the last few minutes of my visit the doctor came in, poked and prodded my teeth, and told me I had a filling that had chipped away. He directed me to return in a week. So, the next week I returned because that's what he told me to do. But will I return for my next six months check up? I don't know. He's a nice enough guy and obviously competent but his non-descript office is littered … [Read more...]
Got Lower Back Pain? Most People Do, Especially Dentists!
As a result of spending most of their day leaning over patients, lack of correct sitting posture, and core strength, it's easy to understand why dentists (and chairside staff) have posture problems and chronic lower back pain. But take heart, you're not alone, lower back pain is among the top job related disabilities claimed in the United States. The problem, more often than not, is that the symptoms of chronic lower back pain are treated rather than the real problem itself. To truly understand this chronic pain, it's important to look above and below the lower back. Our body is a stack of joints, each joint provides either mobility or stability, in regard to overall body movement. When your joints are functioning properly, the … [Read more...]
"Your Dental Bites" — It's Never Too Late To Save Your Smile.
No, I'm not a dentist, I'm a tooth. But, being a tooth leads to lots of dental questions from friends, neighbors, family, and even TSA personnel at airport screening. But hey, who better to ask a dental related question than a tooth, right? The questions people ask me range from the obvious, "where are your ears?" (on my head) or "what's behind that tough outer shell?" (dentin, cementum, and pulp silly) or "how'd you get eyes, hands, feet, and a mouth?" (smelting accident); To the very sincere, "is there really a tooth fairy?" (of course!). But regardless of the person, place, or time, the main question I'm asked is, "if I haven't been brushing and flossing regularly for years, is it too late to save my smile?" No way, even if you … [Read more...]

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of diseases with distinct characteristics that thrive mainly among the poorest populations. The 17 NTDs prioritized by WHO are endemic in 149 countries and affect more than 1.4 billion people, costing developing economies billions of dollars every year. In May 2013, the 66th World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA66.12 which calls for intensified, integrated measures and planned investments to improve the health and social well-being of affected populations. WHO is working with Member States to ensure implementation of WHA66.12.
The neglected tropical diseases result from four different causative pathogens:
We continue to strongly advocate for other neglected conditions which currently do not have formal WHO programmes.

For five days new fire fighters camped and trained outside of Bly, learning valuable skills at Guard School to be applied during what is expected to be a busy summer fire season.
During June 16-20 new fire fighters, 48 in total, along with instructors and support staff went through the rigors of learning basic survival and fire-fighting skills needed to effectively work with fire crews this summer.
Featuring new hires covering the whole South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership (SCOFMP) area, the camp included crew members of Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Oregon Department of Forestry and Fremont-Winema National Forest.
Classroom and practical field settings taught fire fighting basics from experienced fire fighters such as the different tools used, how to deploy emergency fire shelters, mop-up duty and digging a fire line.
At the conclusion of the camp instructors set several small controlled fires so that the students could implement the skills gained in a real wildfire situation.
Crews were intentionally mixed among the various agencies, with an experienced fire fighter acting as supervisor for each team.
Upon completion of camp the 48 students were designated as FFT2, or Fire Fighter Trained Level 2, making them certified for fighting wildfires. Many in the camp were fresh from high school graduation, pursuing a summer job before college.
"Some say they will be here just for a summer job, but then they return each year because they enjoyed the experience so much," said Kevin Abel, public affairs officer for Lakeview District BLM. "The purpose is to get them as much experience here before doing it for real."
Each fire fighter was assigned a PPE pack (personal protective equipment) and red bag (tent, clothing, toiletries), the same equipment used when dispatched on a real fire line with an emphasis on safety and mobility.
Classes were given on the kinds of tools and their uses, comprised of various combinations of different types of axes, shovels, rakes and picks. The tools are usually nicknamed after the fire fighter that originally designed them, acquiring unique titles such as Pulaskis, McClouds, McClaskeys, and Combis.
After completing training each fire fighter was dispatched to their assigned units throughout central Oregon for the summer fire season, where more training and assimilation is underway for their specific assignment.
Training on saw use, pumps, engines, helicopter crew, smoke-jumping and setting prescribed fires are typical of the further schooling now underway for the rookies, while now being active duty fire fighters ready to be dispatched at a moment's notice to a new fire.
As of June 16, crews had already been dispatched to 56 fires throughout the SCOFMP area.

- Mitch: Anything I can do for you?
- Ray: Sure. Get me out of here.
- Mitch: Where to?
- Ray: Anywhere I can see a whole lot of sky. I get through the days, I even eat the food. It's amazing how much you miss the sky.
- Tammy: You got the account number, you know how to access it? Mitch has verified that the money is there, $750,000.00.
- Ray: I love your crooked little mouth.

By Krista Hostetler. CREATED May 23, 2014
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The new Tornado extreme funnel water slide opens on Saturday, May 24 at Wet 'n' Wild Las Vegas.
The slide sends a four-person raft down a tunnel, before dropping into the calm waters below.
Lifeguards and other staff from Wet 'n' Wild took on roles Friday as "splash test dummies" to try out the new Tornado slide.
"Through the tube, down a 36 foot drop, into a 40 foot funnel. You oscillate back and forth, get some awesome wall time and then come down to calmer waters below," said Trevor Wilson with Wet 'n' Wild.
VIP pass holders can begin riding the new slide starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
