Penguins' Malkin to test injured foot before Carolina game
Penguins/NHL Videos
Evgeni Malkin isn't necessarily in the mood for a matinee, but he will consider playing today at Mellon Arena when the Penguins take on Carolina at 1 p.m.
Malkin practiced Friday at Southpointe after missing games in New Jersey and Boston because of a foot injury. He would have preferred a night game against Carolina because that would have afforded him a morning skate to test the injury. Still, Malkin will test the injury before the game and hopes to play. "I have a chance to play," Malkin said. "It's not 100 percent. The game is at 1. That's not good for me. I would have liked to have the skate." Malkin made it through yesterday's 45-minute practice. About 20 minutes into the practice, he spoke briefly with trainer Chris Stewart but remained on the ice. He skated with determination in practice but did show signs of discomfort late in the session. "It's encouraging because it's the most he's been able to skate," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "But he's still a game-time decision."
» Don't look for the Penguins to take Carolina lightly. The Hurricanes started the season in dreadful fashion but have been one of the NHL's hottest teams following the Olympic break. Over the past 10 days, Carolina has defeated Washington and the Penguins. Both victories came in overtime. "Maybe it would be a dangerous game for a young team or something like that," Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "But we know they're a good team, so it's not dangerous in the sense that we'll overlook them. They're playing well, and we're a mature team. We realize they're playing well."
» Penguins left wing Matt Cooke drew plenty of praise from his teammates following Thursday's game in Boston. Cooke dropped his gloves on his first shift and engaged in a spirited fight with Boston's Shawn Thorton. The Penguins appreciated the courage Cooke showed in facing a Bruins team that clearly was out to exact revenge for the hit that may have ended Marc Savard's season. "I think Cookie knows he got away with a bit of a dirty hit," Orpik said. "But you know, you have to give him credit. He handled it well. It was taken care of the way it should have been taken care of."Additional Information:
Oenguins game day
vs. HURRICANES
1 p.m., Mellon Arena
TV/radio: FSN Pittsburgh; WXDX-105.9, Penguins Radio Network
Season series: Carolina leads, 2-1. The Penguins fell in overtime to the Hurricanes last week and have dropped their past two meetings with Carolina.
Penguins' streak: Won 1
Who to watch: Jordan Staal. The center's next goal will be his 20th of the season, which will give him 20 or more goals in three of his first four NHL seasons. Also, Staal will likely be matched up against his brother, Eric, for much of the afternoon.
Trends n 'at: Center Sidney Crosby has gone two games without registering a point after seeing his nine-game point streak end ... Center Evgeni Malkin is questionable to play after missing the last two games with a lower body injury ... Three of Carolina's past five games have gone to overtime.

Pharrell finds Britain inspirational
Pharrell - File
Pharrell Williams loves British weather and claimed it helps create "special" music.
The Happy hitmaker - who appeared at the Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clefs Awards Friday - doesn't mind the rain in the UK because he thinks it plays its part in the country's rich history of art. Speaking before accepting the Raymond Weil International Award at the ceremony at the London Hilton hotel, he said: "Music is special here. It's not the water, it's the vibrations from the land. It's also to do with the climate, it's grey, a lot of the emotions are always up and the music and art are amazing because of it. That sounds a little esoteric but when you think about it geographically, in places where it rains a lot, art tends to be so good. U2, [David] Bowie, Elton John, it's all rain music."
The producer also praised upcoming British talent, suggesting Ed Sheeran is already one of the best.
He added: "Ed Sheeran is one of the greatest, period. Sam Smith is talented, he's different. I love what Disclosure's doing. What I notice is that the R&B scene here is becoming super interesting."

A local mom says her daughter killed herself three years ago, shortly after her teacher picked her to play a suicidal teen.
At the time, Johanna Lowe was an eighth grader at Tuskawilla Middle School in Oviedo. Ellie Piorkowski says her daughter was full of life.
Lowe loved performing, was the student body president and had lots of friends. Suicide just didn't make sense.
"I know she got that idea from that video," Piorkowski said.
Three weeks after her daughter's funeral, Piorkowski said a classmate told her that Lowe starred in a suicide prevention PSA, all filmed and edited in her video production class at Tuskawilla Middle School.
"I couldn't believe what I saw in that video," Piorkowski said.
The video shows Johanna sitting in a classroom, writing a suicide note. She then swallows a bottle of pills.
Piorkowski is now suing Johanna's teacher, Joseph Fife, and the Seminole County School Board, because she says the school never informed her that Johanna would be portraying a suicide victim for a class project.
"Teaching young 13-year-old kids about suicide, and involving them in a suicide video, any parent who has a kid that would learn about that would be outraged," said Eric Faddis, the attorney representing Lowe's family.
The school board sent Local 6 this statement:
"The School Board of Seminole County acknowledges that it has been sued. The case has been assigned to insurance defense counsel and will be aggressively defended. The School Board may not further comment on the advice of the School Board Attorney."
Piorkowski thinks about her daughter everyday, and she says the school failed her.
"I know she's watching me right now," Piorkowski said. "I'm doing this for her, because I don't want other parents to go through what I'm going through," she said.

World's Best Cat Litter contains no chemicals, perfumes, clays, silicas, bentonite, or any synthetic substances whatsoever. What there is...is corn. Good, old-fashioned, whole-kernel corn. Right out of the Midwest, where great ground grows great things. This Extra Strength formula provides stronger odor control for multi-cat households.
Lavender scented formula!Made with 100% all-natural scented lavender oil, this multiple cat formula is ideal for cat owners who prefer their cat litter to be scented. This multiple cat clumping Formula is scented with 100% all-natural lavender oil, a solution that should please cat owners and cats alike!
Safe for CatsWorld's Best Cat Litter poses absolutely no risk to either your pet's safety or comfort. It excels in all three important safety and comfort concerns: additives, dust and texture.
Controls OdorWorld's Best Cat Litter is made of whole-kernel corn, which offers a unique microporous structure. The huge surface area created by this structure easily traps and absorbs ammonia and urine odors naturally, so there's no need for cover-up perfumes. Plus, the natural odor absorption of World's Best Cat Litter lasts up to three times longer than regular clumping clay litters, which means it requires less maintenance.
ClumpabilityThe natural, whole-kernel corn from which it's made absorbs liquid rapidly, creating solid, firm clumps. In fact, it absorbs so well, the litter underneath the clump isn't even damp. Since the clumps stay together, clean up is quick and easy. All you do is scoop it up. And because it's biodegradable, you simply flush it away.
FlushableWorld's Best Cat Litter is septic system and sewer safe, so all you have to do is scoop up the clumps and flush. When liquid first comes into contact with World's Best Cat Litter, it absorbs and clumps. But, when exposed to water again, like when you're depositing the clumps in your toilet, the clumps immediately disintegrate. No clogs. No blockages.
Available in 7 lbs, 17 lbsor 34 lbs
Instructions for Use
Cats may paw and even taste new litter products when first introduced. World's Best Cat Litter is all natural and it will not harm your kittens or cats if they sample it.

This is great. Texture is much more acceptable to the cat and myself as it sifts well. Clumps should be removed daily but rest stays so clean.

I was skeptical, but I like it
By Stinky22
from Maryland
I was using another brand but didn't like the scent or tracking and researched for a new type. It was between this and another brand. I tried this first. At first, the cats (I have two) didn't seem to like it; I mixed it into the old brand and they would use the box (2 boxes) with the old brand more often. But, after a bit of time and adding more and more of this brand, they have taken to it just fine. I like it better - there is no real odor, but that doesn't mean the boxes smell bad. It still keeps the waste odor down (I clean the boxes twice a day and have a litter genie). There is less dust and less tracking as well. I don't have to sweep twice a day!! And it clumps great - I was worried, but it is just as good as other clumping brands.I recommend this, but definitely do a slow introduction if you have been using another brand.
Great product - I would buy again
By Chicky
from Glendale, NY
Having 6 boxes, it's great that this litter stretches and seems to last - no foul ordor
Great cat litter!
By Ginny
from Parsippany, NJ
Been using this litter for years and we have four cats. No mess, almost dust-free and made in USA!
Best Litter
By dsmj12
from Lakeland, FL
This is by far the best cat litter we have ever used. It seems so natural with none of the chemicals typically found. I love that. Also it just works. No smell, no covering up smells. They just disappear and lasts so much longer than any other cat litter. I've been using this brand for about a year now and will never go back to any other.
Excellent Cat Litter
By Billie SC
from Easley, SC
This little has little to no dust and last must longer than regular cat litter. Great buy!
an amazing cat litter
By sandra
from Scottsburg, in
it's the best cat litter that I found specially for people with allergies to all that perfume and stuff its in regular cat litter really does its job
Worlds Best Litter really is the best
By Growley
from New York City
Love the fact that I can flush the waste down the toilet instead of bagging it and carrying the bags out to the compactor chute in my apt bldg. My three cats (two llitter boxes) have readily used this litterfrom the start and I really appreciate that it's environmentally friendly; i.e., their "do" doesn't wind up in landfills in unbiogradable plastic bags.

By cat lover in PA
from Pennsylvania
I have three cats (two females and one very finicky male) I have used several different types of World Best liter and this seems to be the only one the male will use. That being said, I think maybe the formula has changed because now after using this brand for two years I am noticing dusty paw print from the liter on my stairs and furniture.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Document Number: 1611Convergence and Competition: Transforming Postsecondary Education -- An International Perspective PDF - Public authorities in the United States and in the 29 advanced, democratic, pluralistic, market-economy countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development see postsecondary education as a key to improved competitiveness (both international and domestic) and strong economic performance. Recent reforms and policy approaches include elements of a potentially new orientation which welcomes and seeks to influence demand, encourages new and flexible boundary-spanning partnerships and networks, and helps shape an effective and dynamic "postsecondary-wide" and "lifelong" postsecondary education provision. (From: Briefing Papers: Transforming Postsecondary Education for the 21st Century, Alan Wagner, Education Commission of the States, June 1999)...

She's 24 Weeks and Started Bleeding
Dear Midwife,
Dear Midwife,
Dear Midwife,
I am 23 weeks pregnant with my third child. I had two very straightforward pregnancy with my previous two children, apart from a breech which ended up in a caesarean.
This pregnancy has been problematic since the very beginning with cramping and red bleeding on and off during the first trimester and constant headaches(despite normal blood pressure).
Today I am 19 weeks and 2 days along! So happy! I am feeling our little pumpkin moving around more each day and remembering what an awesome feeling it is. It is so hard to believe that there is this precious life growing inside of you and then when you feel the bumps and see this little person on the u/s it is so much more real. I don't think you really wrap your mind around it for sure until you are holding them in your arms though. I am so very blessed and happy to be expecting this little one! People think we are crazy for having a fifth but I don't care. I am loving it!
Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
I just went for my first sonogram today and I am 18 weeks.. I found out the sex. My doctors office called and said they need to do a repeat sonogram because they couldn't see everything.
The entire time during the sonogram my baby was positioned face down. I'm wondering if the positioning of the baby had something to do with why they couldn't see everything they needed? Or if there is something else?
Dear Midwife,
Ive noticed even after my doctor visit on the 19th that I have a thick white creamy discharge that doesn't seem to smell and is there all the time.
This is my first pregnancy and I am at 14 and a half weeks. Is this normal or should I have it checked out by my regular OB/GYN
Thank you
Dear Nutritionist,
I am very worried I did something harmful for my baby. I am 19 weeks pregnant.
I went to Panera for lunch and got a chicken sandwich. I ate a few big bites before it occurred to me that the cold chicken might be a bad idea. I looked it up and realized that we are not to eat cold chicken sandwiches while pregnant.
How badly did I mess up? What are the odds I've hurt by baby?
Dear Midwife,
I am in my fifth month of pregnancy, and I am very worried that my baby will be F.A.S.D because I drank alcohol before I found out I was pregnant.
I found out I was pregnant after a month. Should I be so worried?
Dear Ms. Ultrasound,
Hi, I had bleeding and strong BH contractions after intercourse with my partner which lasted for 2 days. I'm 18 weeks pregnant.
My scan says this..
The placenta lies mainly on the left lateral wall, however it covers the internal os. No obvious hemorrhage seen.
As my placenta covers the os, what are the chances of it moving by the time I am 38 weeks? I know that 90% of LLP move enough for a normal birth, however as mine covers the internal os are the chances still as high?
For anyone out there wanting to keep stretch marks away, a friend told me during my 1st pregnancy to use Bag Balm. You get it at any drug store. It is a nasty looking, nasty smelling and very greasy. I was huge with my son and I smeared it faithfully all over my stomach and breasts. I never got one stretch mark on my entire body from pregnancy. Now I am 6 months pregnant with my 2nd child and faithfully smearing bag balm all over again, and I have elastic skin. Not one stretch mark appearing.

Juvenile Absence Epilepsy
Juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) is a common type of epilepsy that typically begins on or after puberty, between the ages of 10 and 17. About one-third of patients with JAE have a family history of seizures. Children may experience a few absence seizures per day, which are characterized by a brief altered state of conscious and staring episodes. The child may also experience tonic-clonic seizures upon awakening.
EEG testing shows a 3 Hz generalized spike and waves. CT and MRI scans of the brain are typically normal.
Seizures are controlled with medication in 80 percent of cases. Zarontin® (ethosuximide), Depakene® (valproate) and Lamictal® (lamotrigine) are typically prescribed for JAE. Some patients with JAE do not outgrow their seizures and will need take medication for the rest of their lives. Individuals are encouraged to get enough sleep and avoid alcohol to reduce the likelihood of seizures.

NY's Power Needs: Drill, Baby, Drill
August 14, 2009
Max Schulz
WITH the unveiling this week of the draft state energy plan, Gov. Paterson continues his policy of professing support for producing natural gas from the vast Marcellus Shale -- even as he lets state regulators hold up drilling over spurious environmental fears.
This hurts New Yorks battered economy and deprives the state of much-needed tax revenue.
The Marcellus Shale is a massive natural-gas reservoir extending from southern New York through western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. It is thought to be the largest natural-gas reservoir in America.
The SUNY-Fredonia geologist who broke the news of this huge reserve last year recently estimated it could hold 1,300 trillion cubic feet of natural gas -- more than 10 times what Texass Barnett Shale contains. The Marcellus might hold 65 years worth of US natural-gas needs.
Paterson last year signed a bill to streamline the permitting process for gas drilling -- but threw a wrench in the mix by insisting on a one-year moratorium while his team studied drillings environmental impact.
The one-year deadline came and went last month, but drilling remains on hold. Now Patersons Department of Environmental Conservation says it wont release any findings until the fall.
Not surprising, Robert Kennedy Jr.s Riverkeeper and other environmental organizations want to prevent drilling: Theyre ideologically opposed to any energy production in the state.
The critics complain that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, would be used to extract gas trapped in the shales pores. This involves temporarily injecting water (with sand and very small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other additives) into the rock to push gas into pockets for easier recovery.
Yet recent improvements allow horizontal fracking -- once you drill down, you can move laterally underground to recover resources. Translation: a much smaller aboveground footprint and less natural disruption.
In any case, New York has some of the nations strictest environmental regulations, which would apply fully to Marcellus drilling.
Note, too, that the country has more than six decades of experience with the process. As Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) notes, hydraulic fracturing has helped produce 7 billion barrels of oil and 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas from more than a million US wells. It is now used in about 35,000 wells nationwide, with minimal impact on local surroundings and no environmental problems.
"In hydraulic fracturings 60-year history, there has not been a single documented case of contamination," Inhofe noted.
The economic impact for New York to permit fracking would be enormous. One recent report suggested energy companies could spend $7 billion to $15 billion to develop gas fields in Broome County alone.
Consider: While Paterson put the brakes on drilling here last year, Pennsylvania pushed full-steam ahead. Rigs quickly went to work, and the payoff is coming. A recent Penn State study predicts that Marcellus Shale development will pump more than $14 billion into the Keystone States economy in this year and create nearly 100,000 jobs. Next year, natural-gas production could yield $800 million in state and local tax revenues.
Paterson left no stone unturned earlier this year in the search for tax revenue. How ironic that he cant bring himself to search the actual stone of the Marcellus Shale. Theres plenty of tax revenue there.
More important, theres new life for New Yorks ailing economy.

G'day Guys and Gals,
As some of you may or may not know, I don't have access to a bench currently and thus am doing weighted dips as a substitute (note: I'm not training to be a competitive powerlifter, thus please no replies of "ZOMG get on da bench dips r 4 luzerz"). I find that when I'm doing Dips (ring dips if it makes a difference) that I get a dull ache both in the front of my left shoulder near say the head of the humerus and also in the rear slightly above and to the right of the top of my armpit (pardon the poor explanations). I've had a few people watch my form and none have detected any real imbalances in the movement pattern/biomechanics. The ache also goes away within say 10-20 minutes of finishing the dips.
As for shoulder flexibility, I think my case is a bit odd. I can overhead squat 60kg fairly well (say 3-5 reps) as well as being able to snatch. That being said, when I squat I cannot get my hands very close to my shoulders at all and that I get a dull ache in my RIGHT shoulder if I try bring them in too close.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

The group leading the drive argues that the current system is unsustainable, and that changing the system for future employees will help stabilize the city's somewhat dour long-term budget forecast.
The initiative would:
• Reduce pension payments from four-fifths of the highest annual salary to three-fifths of the average of the highest three consecutive years;
• Increase retirement age from 55 to 60 years old; and
• Require voter approval of any "enhancements" to pension benefits.
Henry Riggs, one of the leaders of the initiative drive, said the group is on track to meet its goal of 2,400 signatures by the end of April, when it must turn them in to the city.

Arniel brings new approach to Columbus
By Greg May, TheFourthPeriod.com
This led many Blue Jackets fans to the Hockey Dictionary to look up the terms "attacking" and "up-tempo."
It is also being construed to mean that Arniel's system will produce more goal-scoring, which is exactly what Blue Jackets fans want to hear after watching the team rank 20th and 21st during the past two seasons in goals scored.
That Arniel is being received in Columbus as an offensive-minded coach is actually somewhat of a surprise considering his body of work in the AHL. During his four seasons as head coach of the Manitoba Moose, Arniel's teams ranked 18th, 9th, 21st and 25th in goals scored. At the same time, those same teams ranked third, second and first and 16th in goals against. Those numbers don't exactly inspire visions of odd man rushes and breakaways in Columbus.
So where's the beef? Enter Bob Boughner, hired by Arniel to serve as an assistant coach. Speaking of transformations, nobody has undergone quite the makeover Boughner has. Once an NHL tough guy nicknamed The Boogieman, Boughner has ascended to the top of everybody's list of up-and-coming coaches. And he didn't get there by intimidating or fighting the other guys vying to be on that list. While leading the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL to back-to-back Memorial Cups in 2009 and 2010, Boughner's teams ranked 1st both seasons in goals for. Those teams also ranked 1st and 5th in goals against, but Boughner was hired to coach the forwards and the power play, and help fulfill the promise of an "attacking, up-tempo" style of play more than anything else. A former goon, now an offensive genius. After suffering through years of teams that are offensively challenged, Columbus fans shrug at this and ask, "Why not?"
Whether Howson, Arniel and Boughner can deliver on the promise of transforming the Blue Jackets from a school bus into a sports car, and how soon it might happen, will rely heavily on the ability of the players to adapt to this new mentality. With that in mind, let's take a look at three players who figure to be quick studies for Arniel.
1. Kris Russell - If Arniel is going to effectively involve his d-men more in the offensive zone, having some puck-movers along the blue line is a necessity. Scanning down the list of returning d-men, only Russell and Fedor Tyutin truly stand out as being cast in that mold.
The arrival of John Moore, the Blue Jackets 1st round pick in the 2009 entry draft (21st overall), is heavily anticipated for this reason. But for now, it is Russell who stands to benefit the most from having the restraints that Hitchcock placed on the d-men untied. Russell's development continued relatively unabated last season, especially in the second half during which he was granted more minutes and noticeably stepped up his game. Expect Russell to thrive this season.
2. Nikita Filatov - Before Filatov even suits up for camp, he has some fence-mending to do. When he bolted last season for the cozy confines of the KHL in his native Russia, the perception was that he walked out on his team. Some would argue that Hitchcock imposed his will on Howson and ran Filatov out of town. Either way, Arniel and his assistants arrive with a reputation for being able to communicate, motivate and earn the respect and loyalty of their young players.
Filatov will be given every opportunity to repair his relationships with his Columbus comrades and begin to fulfill his enormous potential. He brings quickness and skill to a lineup desperate for both. He has tasted some early success in his limited time in the NHL, including a hat trick in only his sixth NHL game. This causes Columbus fans to drool when considering what might happen if Arniel is able to unlock his potential.
3. Steve Mason - How does a goalie coming off the proverbial "sophomore slump" stand to gain much at all from a coach that professes to have a higher tolerance for his blue-liners taking more risks?
Karl Goehring, who played goal for Arniel last season at Manitoba, was recently quoted as saying, "There is accountability in the defensive zone. If the system is played correctly, most of the shots come from the outside, where you can see them. That alone makes the goalie's job much easier."
For Mason to get better, the defensive play in front of him needs to be better. If what Goehring says has merit, Mason should have the opportunity to return to the form that won him the Calder Trophy in his rookie campaign. Skeptics will point out that there was supposed to be accountability under Hitchcock's system. This is true, but only to the extent the players "bought in" to that system. Clearly, they didn't. If Arniel gets them to buy in to his approach, defensively speaking (and Boughner should be an asset here as well), Mason stands to benefit more than any other player on the team from the coaching change.

Recently canceled shows I mourn
Maybe not in the same way I mourn my culty loves and classic '80s shows, but there are a few worth mentioning....
Yep, I know, I am one of Those People -- a fan of Moonlight. Though I agree it was weak when it returned after the writer's strike, there were lots of things to love about this show: the vampire lore, the episodic mysteries, the way they could have taken the love story (had they not muffed it up in the last four episodes), the actors (Jason Dohring and Alex O'Laughlin; not Sophia Myles). I can't believe that I won't find out more of the back story with Joseph's family and Coraline.
The Nine
We don't have a lot of shows these days that are willing to explore characters in such depth; The Nine was willing to take it slow and really develop the intricacies of the character interactions on the backside of their traumatic hostage situation. There were mysteries regarding that, huge changes in the characters and their lives that we don't really know about, and motivations for actions left a mystery to the viewers. Some viewers may have found the pace a bit boring, but the acting was top-notch and the scripts written with such delicacy that I can't help but think we may have been in store for something great.
3 lbs.
This medical drama was canceled after what, three episodes? Not enough time, network people! A cross between House and Grey's Anatomy with a lead like Stanley Tucci surely would have found a viewership. It really was clever, charming, and interesting, though admittedly, perhaps not too original.
Miss Guided
I only caught an episode and a half of this quirky comedy, but I would have liked to see more. I loved the awkward lead, the oblivious hunk, and the ditsy former cheerleader. It had all the makings of "The Office Goes to High School", with a little "Square Pegs for the Faculty" thrown in for good measure.
Men in Trees
Why, oh why, didn't I watch this show when I had the chance? I probably caught two episodes of it and enjoyed them both. The Northern Exposure vibe, the fish-out-of-water character of Anne Heche's, and the charm of the backwoods hunks: it could have worked. Something didn't, or it wouldn't have been canceled, and probably I would have watched faithfully, but I still regret not watching when I had the chance.
I fully admit it: this show took a serious, plummeting fall into the chasm of Suck. Maybe it is because I went to high school with the creators and writers of the few few episodes that I wanted to give Unhitched more of a chance to come into its own. The episodes the creators wrote were funny, and do you all remember how ghastly Seinfeld was in its first season? I cannot help but think that with the talented cast they had that this show would have found its stride.
The real problem here seems to be that it is not in the best interest of the networks -- financially of course -- to give new shows a chance to reach their stride and their core viewership. What does this say about the future of TV? Maybe Joss Whedon's got it right with his Dr. Horrible online musical... who needs networks, anyway?
How about you? Where do you weigh in on the recently canceled shows?

Chelsea Handler Admits Abortion at 16, Loathes '16 and Pregnant'
"I had an abortion when I was 16. Because that's what I should have done," she said frankly. "Otherwise I would now have a 20-year-old kid. Anyway, those are the things that people shouldn't be dishonest about."
But Handler has no sympathy for today's youngsters who broadcast their teen pregnancies to the world.
"We're seeking out such grossness in human behavior and want such mindless entertainment ... '16 and Pregnant.' Getting rewarded for being pregnant when you're a teenager? Are you serious? I mean, that makes me want to kill somebody."
Another thing that gets Handler riled up? The way she is characterized in the media. Although she is aware that her honesty is exactly the reason why she is often pegged as a "raunchy" comedian, Handler doesn't care for the moniker.
"That's my least favorite word, raunchy," she said. "Men are more apt to use that word about women than women are. I think that's why my audience is so female-heavy. They cheer you on, whereas men are, like, you're not supposed to talk like that."
Like her humor or not, at least Handler is an equal opportunity satirist.
"I try to make fun of everyone as often as possible, especially minorities," she said. "I'm a Jewish woman, so ..."

You're an idiot marcc g. People like you are disgusting, trying to force your views and beliefs on someone else. The way I see it, if you're against abortion, then don't have one...and keep your nose out of another person's business should they choose to have one.
- Wednesday 25 MayBy getreal13
- Wednesday 25 MayBy mia
It can be a mature thing to do. Look at the people having babies now. What kind of life are they going to lead? People are having babies when they don't even have enough money for diapers and grow up on the street and are abused. Look at the woman yesterday who was trying to pimp out her 13 year old daughters virginity. The show 16 and pregnant is pathetic and should be taken off the air. It is not a good thing to glamorize. Especially since these little brats are getting "famous" and all they did was be loose and stupid. That is what disgusts me. I know it is easy to say,"Don't get pregnant." But sometimes things happen. It is good to have the options. An early term abortion is one of the smartest things for some people to do. Oh and also, learn some grammar. There is such a thing as capital letters you know.

You are NOT an idiot marcc g. "Susan" is actually the close minded idiot. She says not to force beliefs on anyone yet if they are not her own beliefs, they are not worth having? Her kind of thinking and irrational attacks are what is wrong with this country.
- Wednesday 25 MayBy Lynn
Well, marcc, sometimes accidents do happen. The majority of teens are having sex, and they are not mature and do not always make mature decisions, She was 16, not 32 for gawd sakes. Chelsea is not my favorite entertainer by a long shot, but she made the decisions that worked for her at the time, and it is legally available. So easy for a guy to put her down for it. Not a decision you would ever have to face, and how many teens boys do you think would step up to the plate? Also so easy for a guy to think, just go through nine months of pregnancy, which is no picnic, and then give it up. Thankfully for Chelsea, it wasn't your right to decide for her.
- Wednesday 25 MayBy Terry French
Who among us at 16 and often much older, have maturity, have not been selfish or done "disgusting" things? But, a 16 year old pregnant teen and her boyfriend/baby daddy are selfish and disgusting wwhen we glorify it with a t.v. show and send out signals that encourage this behaivor. Whether it's reality t.v. or welfare that provides the financial support these families need; babies are being born to babies who can barely take care of themselves. Chelsea Handler is right on the money with this one. Just for stats here. I am pro choices and had my son before I married his father, we divorced after the birth of our second child and I had little more to give them then basic needs sometimes. Thankfullly I had an amazing mother and emotional and spiritual support system. But in NO WAY was I prepared to be the mother all children need. Those kids on that show need to grow up and focus on the priority right under there noses.
- Wednesday 25 MayBy Michele
I totally agree!!!! I thought the wording was disgusting!! Don't make the baby pay for your mistake...Yes, look at all the ridiculous people having kids....GIVE THEM UP to people who are good parents and will raise them to be great people.

Hey themeeker, how nice that Chelsea had a CHOICE. What CHOICE did her dead baby have? Hmmmm????

Abortion is murder
- Wednesday 25 May
Give her a few years and she will want to see that baby who would be all grown up with maybe grand children for her to enjoy ..instead a sad show with sad people watching....
- Wednesday 25 MayBy tlynde
You're the one thats not too bright. If a person beleives the fetus is a living human being, they are bound to stand up and say something. Obviously Chelsea has no feelings about the sanctaty of life. She even stated that she feels like killing someone who got pregnant at an early age. It's that type of morals that got us where we are, killing the unborn so we can have a better life, excecuting criminals etc. Who gets to decide who lives or dies. We should all stand up for life. One day someone may decide it us who should die. Actusally, that is happening all over the world now.
- Wednesday 25 MayBy bob
You got that straight about Susan being the one that's the idiot!
Every abortion involved two human beings, one who made bad decisions and now has to resort to murder to remedy the situation and one who is innocent and is about to be snuffed out. This argument about women having control of their bodies is so bogus since they already had control of their bodies before having sex. So, if that is a valid argument then why can't the fetus have control over it's body. The answer is that it doesn't have any power so it is totally at the mercy of bully mother!

Ford graphics package for the 2011 Mustang - Click above for high-res image gallery
Heads up, pony fans; Ford has just released the details on its new graphic program for the 2011 Mustang. Just like with the pint-sized Fiesta, the company will let you slather the muscle car in any number of graphics packages to suit your tastes. The designs vary from tasteful stripes and accents to some cringetastic pieces like the "clear hood" 5.0 shown above and various tribal decals. Jersey Shore, here we come.
Ford has priced the most of the vinyl packages at $299, though prices vary depending on how complicated the design is and how much vinyl is used in the process. Near as we can tell, the priciest of the lot are the reverse stripes that cover the majority of the top of the car in the sticky stuf. That package will set you back close to $1,000.
You can even pick from a number of colors to suit your vehicle, including a carbon-fiber look material. Please, for the love of the ponies, stay away from that one. You can play around with the configurator yourself at the Ford site. Word has it that the next vehicle to get the vinyl treatment will be the Taurus starting next month. Stay tuned.

513, 408, or DGT?
Talk amongst yourselves. Go!
513, 408, or DGT?
Talk amongst yourselves. Go!
For me it would depend on what type of music you're playing. The 513 can get more different sounds but I prefer the tones from the DGT for classic rock or blues. The 408 is a little more modern sounding in the bridge but it's still got 8 very usable tones for what I like to play. The only thing both of those are missing is the neck
+ middle, middle + bridge strat tones. If you really can't live without those 2 sounds you'd need the 513 or Brent Mason. Of course those 2 are lacking the neck plus bridge combination without modding them. Therefore I've come to the conclusion you need a 408 and a Brent Mason to cover all the bases.
PRS Guitars - PS #4343 DC245, PS #5330 DC245, Floyd Custom 24, P245 Semi-Hollow, S2 Vela
Powered by Friedman, Tone King and Dr. Z
Yes. they are all about as flexible as it gets, and more importantly, as one needs. One might argue that the 513 is most flexible because it has the most settings.
I wouldn't pick up any one of those guitars and say, what could PRS do to push the envelope in terms of flexibility? Each one does their own thing and is a swiss army knife of great sounds.
Too much flexibilty, ie: too many switches, settings can be a burden. What a DGT or 408 does by simply rolling back the volume, or tone is incredible..
I use my DGT for everything. Metal, classic rock,hard rock,jazz ,blues and even classical. In the week I've had it, I can sum it up by saying it is the most flexible guitar I've ever owned. Roll the volume/tone off a bit and another tone has come to life. Split the coils and here we go again lol. I find the dgt has more balls then a les Paul , more bottom end and a whole lot of fun.
For me, the 513 is the most flexible because it covers more clean single coil ground while providing adequate distorted humbucking. The 408 and the DGT provide adequate cleans with excellent distorted humbucking.
(513 x 2 / McShootout / DGT / DC 245 Ted / DC22 / Santana / Cu22 Rosewood / 408 Standard / SAS / Mira korina / HBII / SE Angelus Custom / SE Mushok) >> {Archon 100, Archon 25, C, H, Dallas}
Nope! You are all wrong!
Neither of those do piezo at all and are right out!
So the most most flexible is the P22 or P22 Trem with Skitchy's PTC push/pull tone pot mod.
Humbuckers, single coil AND Piezo! IN ANY COMBINATION! Just Humbuckers, Just Single coil, just Piezo or Mix and match!
What versatility guys need is a double-neck semi-hollow body with 6 and 12 strings, with piezos on both, with 513 on one neck, 408 bridge & DGT neck pickup on the other neck, plus a midi pickup.
Plus one neck would have to be 'hog or RW and the other maple. And, oh yeah, half the back 'hog, and the other half swamp ash. Um, with a maple top on half, all 'hog on the other half.
Come to think of it, you might need three necks...
Hey, I'm almost there. I have three chins!
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken...

The only logical answer.... ONE EACH!
Whale Blue 2008 McCarty w./ IRW neck
Tobacco Sunburst 2010 DGT
Bogner 20th Shiva
EBMM BFR Petrucci 7 string (IRW neck)
EBMM Mystic Dream 6 string (IRW neck )
I forgot about e Brent Mason! My gas died down for a while, but now it's back up!
I've got a 513 and a P22. My dream guitar is one of the three OP guitars or the Brent Mason WITH a piezo!
I have all of the above.
No question in my mind that the 513 is the most flexible (to me anyway...) The 408 (in Signature Limited form at least) is also very versatile, but it doesn't exactly cover other guitars in the same way. The DGT is to me it's own unique thing.
Having said all of that, my DGT gets more gig time than the Signature Limited or 513. I've recently re-fallen in love with my 513 though, and that may likely change...
I don't have a 408 but I have both of the others. The 513 is great at doing multiple tones well if you have a gig where you can only take 1 guitar then the 513 is your best bet. I know if I am playing country, blues and a little rock then the DGT is P E R F E C T.
Generally when I play out I take the 513, DGT, and my McRosie
Whale Blue 2008 McCarty w./ IRW neck
Tobacco Sunburst 2010 DGT
Bogner 20th Shiva
EBMM BFR Petrucci 7 string (IRW neck)

As much as I am a champion of versatility, a wide variety of sounds is useless if the sound you need isn't actually included.
I personally love the original 5-way rotary Custom 24:
Great humbucking neck tone on position 6.
Great "neck and middle Strat quack" on position 7, fantastic for clean tones.
If you need to thicken that sound up, switch to position 8 and run the same coils in series instead of parallel.
Position 9 is great if you want to run through an acoustic sim pedal.
Great humbucking bridge tone on position 10.
I can get the exact mix of tones I want out of a Custom 24, which is why I haven't gone to a 408 or a 513. The 513 is certainly more versatile and can do single-coil tones very well, but I prefer the bridge humbucker on the Cu24, as well as the position 8 series-Strat sound.

Persian Cat Grooming - Persian Cat Shampoos
Groom Your Persian cats! Keeping Kitty Coat in Shape
Grooming 101: Grooming School E-course - Persian cat shampoos - Learn the difference
This page is part of a grooming class. Go here If you are looking for:
Back to Our Grooming 101 class
Many people think of cats and feel they do not need baths- not like dogs anyhow. But the truth is- many of them do. Respectable breeders of the long hair breed spend a lot of time making certain that the kittens are very used to the water and the bath routine before they go into new homes. Something I've learn in the past is long haired new buyers sometimes are afraid of the bath and the cat grows into an adult- forgets the bath routine and becomes a huge knot- in need of being shaved. If this has happened to you- don't feel alone. The best thing to do AT THIS POINT is to get a professional grooming job and ask for a lion cut.
A lion cut is where the body and top parts of the legs are shaved- leaving the feet, head and tail- much like a poodle. The cats, in all honesty, love to be shaved like his. They dance around very vain and enjoy the coolness and lack of knots.
OK - back to grooming and hopefully we can start fresh with a kitty un-knotted and freshly combed.
Next, the selection of the shampoo's. What kind to buy and for what reason. There are many pet shampoos on the market- the dog and horse shampoo's work wonderfully on the cats too. I like to suggest a baby shampoo for someone who is working on cleaning up a butt area- a first try bath or a kitten in general. However- in my person a cat bath - I use at least 3 different shampoos.
First I degrease with Goop hand cleaner or some dawn diluted dish soap. Degreasing is a very important step in the bath- especially for the long hair cats and the ones with oily skin. A degreasing stage on a bath will actually improve the final outlook of the bath and help it to hold up longer. I purchase the regular Goop at Wal-mart in the auto department- never buy the one with pumice. Goop looks like Crisco when opened- yet it conditions while it degreases.
You can melt this goop for a few seconds in the microwave and allow it to cool off. Then pour over the kitty while in a sink, and work it into the coat as a first shampoo. You can also mix the goop with one part melted goop to one part water to one part dish detergent for a really deep degreasing. Make certain your water runs clear after you have completed the degreasing stage and rinsed.
Next, what shampoo choice to make? Well, what are you wanting to accomplish? Volume, shininess, color enhancing, conditioning or all of the above. What ever you are looking to do to improve on the coat- shop for that shampoo.
Next, which shampoo in what order? This one is a tad harder to determine- however I like to use my volume shampoo next to last and my protector last. I use a protector shampoo based on making certain while my cat is showing - the kitty isn't picking up and bringing back any nasties. I choose CB's Anna's pH Healthy Coat for this purpose. Not only does it protect, but it enhances shine too. So you see, sometimes one shampoo might do more than one chore for you- making the bath routine easier on you and the kitty.
Learn my complete shampoo routine in this FREE e-paper!
In general, the steps I take when shampooing my cats are:
- degrease
- color enhance
- improve the coat with a vitamin shampoothat also adds volume
- then use a protector/shine shampoo in this order.
Sometimes I use Kenic Snowflake as my color enhancer. Sometimes I use a salon shampoo made for a certain color of hair. I perfer shampoo with oatmeal to help add volume and, yes, I use the Anna pH Healthy Coat cat shampoo, always, as my last shampoo for my protector and shine.
There are many ways to shampoo. You can add the product straight to the coat- dilute it in water first- or mix it as if you were making dishwater. I use several of these methods all in the same bath. My favorite is making it into dish water because it is easier to rinse and not as harsh on the coat.
In the Orginal Bath DVD (not the Hollywood version)- I go thur several different shampoos explaining what each does best. Ofcourse that was before Anna's line had been developed so now most of the needs can be found in the Anna line. CB is working on bringing in new shampoos's too!
Rinsing is very important. Most people feel they rinse really good until they watch my Hollywood DVD and see how I rinse. It is amazing how much better your cat will look if degreased and rinse properly- especially rinsing.
For a visual on shampoo selections, degreasing, bathing, blow drying, and rinsing, you might want to check out this link for the DVD's: http://www.purrinlot.com/persian-cat--grooming-tools.htm
A written step by step bath can also be found on the Purrinlot site. Also more good grooming can be found in my e-book called Lookin' Good http://www.purrinlot.com/cat-books.htm

Still no test for Albert Haynesworth
Updated: August 4, 2010, 6:50 PM ETAssociated Press
ASHBURN, Va. -- On the seventh day, Albert Haynesworth rested again.
This time, he had some company, and he also got to chat with the commissioner.
The fitness of the Washington Redskins defensive lineman remains unresolved one week into training camp. Haynesworth did not attempt the team's conditioning test Wednesday morning for the second straight day, and won't be allowed to practice until he passes the test.
He's been hampered in recent days by a sore left knee and ...

Disability Determination
Disability determination can be a fairly frustrating and trying process for an individual who has filed for either social security disability or SSI benefits and for the following reasons:
1. The disability determination process is typically slow. So slow, in fact, that it can take years to get through the system if your case is denied at the disability application level, is denied again at the social security reconsideration level, and proceeds to the hearing level.
Going through the application and reconsideration phase may cumulatively take a long number of months, of course. However, simply waiting for a disability hearing request can take one to two years, depending on where you live (most major metropolitan areas face significant backlogs, but backlogs are increasingly become part of the norm for social security disability and SSI cases).
2. The disability determination system typically denies the great majority of SSD and SSI claims. The statistics tend to vary between individual states; however, the national statistics indicate that approximately seven out of every ten claims for disability are denied at the application level, while 85% of all reconsideration appeals are denied. This tends to produce the following outcome: if you apply for disability and get denied, you will probably need to go through the appeals process, at least as far as the disability hearing stage, in order to win benefits.
3. The disability determination system is flawed in the sense that adjudicators (disability examiners make decisions on cases at the initial claim and disability reconsideration levels, while disability judges make decisions on claims at the hearing level) do not request detailed statements from treating physicians.
Such statements---known as residual functional capacity statements---have a proven track record with administrative law judges at hearings. Why this is not done as a simple matter of rendering a medical determination on a case is not clear. Perhaps SSA simply does this to contain costs. Many physicians already charge a substantial fee for this, and would likely charge even more if the social security administration routinely sent out requests to doctors for the completion of medical statements.

Coworking's gone Hollywood. "Like" our Facebook page to see future episodes…come on, just do it! http://www.facebook.com/fgsquared
Steve Speaks #19 Transcript: The federated coworking model is kind of like the Hollywood model about how businesses come together to create movies, right? So as a movie is produced you bring all these people together and then when the movie is over you'll disband the team. It's a very efficient model and proven at getting things done and creating innovation and efficiency. We see that as being the model the way that web design and creative media are produced in the world going forward. We see the coworking facility as a real sort of key center, it's the center for that.
