Want the boot? This app kicks you off if you have finished an article or not. And try to get back in it after being booted, forget it. It really wont happen.
Slow Great app except for the fact that when leaving a story and going back to the news feed it takes a while before the news feed is responsive so you can move on to the next story. Which makes it frustrating at times especially when I'm trying to get a quick read of the news I find myseelf having to go to a competitor's app because it moves seamlessly.
Great to watch! I love being able to watch Fox News on my mobile devices while away from home!
Love fox news But this app isn't very good. Usually you click on any article and it keeps showing you the same article over and over again. Today for example it keeps showing news about Iran even though I clicked to read about the Dow, the legionnaires disease or anything else. It's very very frustrating.
Horrible The only new on this app is about hillary clinton, people dying and "famous" people. None of it it's actual news. Waste of my life.
Fox news I enjoy the various news stories and updates. It's a palatable writing style, and relief from the suffocating lliberalism of other news forums!

There are few people who really change the world for the better, but there is one person who shows us all that it is possible and that it can really start with just one person.
Enter playwright and activist Eve Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues" and V-Day Founder and Executive Director.
If you've never heard of Ensler before you will thank me. The passion, love, dedication, and unwavering drive with which she fights for a world free from violence is infectious, admirable, and awe-inspiring. For myself and thousands, if not millions, of other women she is my hero.
Her latest post, "Over It," on the Huffington Post is just one example of what a powerful and amazing woman she is.
Here are some highlights from her empowering piece that reflect what we too at Care2 are over:
For the full version of Ensler's post click here.
It's truly inspiring and I've got to say that I'm over it too!

First Sexually Assaulted, Now Forced to Pay Alimony to Ex

Add to that: I'm over people who tell western women who protest rape in their world countries to "stop interfering in other cultures with your western presumptions"
I'm over it too! Thank you so much.
While, hypothetically, we realize that rape can happen to a male person, the largest percentage of victims are female. Knowing this, one must wonder who started this attitude of keeping it a secret.
COULD IT HAVE BEEN A MAN? Heaven forbid!!!
Women must realize that keeping these types of secrets are not to their benefit/mental health. Preditors never stop at 'one', and hiding these atrocities permits them to continue in an increasing spiral. If embarrassing family members is a problem, _it isn't your problem_ and anyone that doesn't comprehend your despair, is not looking out for your best interest. Trust, that you can find those who do and will care.
Your healing will not start, until you are able to verbalize it, over and over. I speak from experience.
I love this kind of anger! I'm OVER IT ALL too! Thanks for this awesome list!
Wow. I am over it too! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. As a rape survivor, and married to a survivor I applaud her courage. Speak out!!! Repost her article, sign petitions, attend a 'slut walk' or other campaign. Volunteer as a rape counselor or ombudsman. Stop keeping secrets!!!!!! Speak out loud!!!!
Gracias, really. I am over the raping and killing of young girls in Ciudad Juarez, in the desert on their way across the border(s) of Central America and Mexico, and in cities where their humiliation is seen as a way to "humiliat" rival gangs.
This is so terrible. Always when i hear about terrible things it makes med sad, and i cannot understand how someone could do something terrible - hurt, rape or kill a person or animal. When i was a child this also happened to me... and surviving this is more terrible than not (parents and other may think different, but a victim?), living with all this pain... living with guilty feelings... full with hate for the own self
No one can understand, because most people cannot imagine this, cannot imagine how much it change. Some of them think, that this would not be so terrible, because all would make some sexual experiences, and so it would not matter if there were some without own interest or wish. This cruel and superficial society makes me sick.
I know that it is not good to wish someone who does terrible things something as a punishment. But when i hear about violent people then i think why are they so "afraid" to go to someone equal and get some hits for their selves. This is a perversion, to think being more a man when beating a woman or a girl. This men are a shame for all normal men.
"We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not yet learned the simple art of living together as brothers." (Martin Luther King)
All comes back to your values in life. Your choice. There are certain rights and certain wrongs in this world. You normally know the difference because you have a mind as a human to reason.
thank you

Wellfleet, Mass. and Woods Hole, Mass., August 4, 2009 Plankton Power and the Regional Technology Development Corp. (RTDC) of Cape Cod announced today the establishment of a public-private consortium focused on building a leading-edge facility to produce renewable biofuels from algae. Under the leadership of Plankton Power, the RTDC, Massachusetts National Guard, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), and Cape Cod Commission are joining forces to establish the Cape Cod Algae Biorefinery. The new facility will focus on pilot- and commercial-scale development of algae biodiesel (a type of biofuel) that is cost-competitive with existing petroleum- and vegetable-based fuels, with improved performance characteristics.
The planned biorefinery is proposed for construction on five acres of land on the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) in Bourne, Massachusetts, supported by the Massachusetts National Guard pending legal and regulatory reviews. The pilot facility will provide the required infrastructure for testing commercial scale-up of a breakthrough algae-growth technology resulting from 20 years of cold saltwater species research and production. The biodiesel from Plankton Power algae is a "drop-in" replacement for home heating oil and petroleum diesel and will be produced for commercial distribution. The Cape Cod Algae Biorefinery Consortium recently submitted a $20 million proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy that would leverage $4 million in private funding to construct the proposed facility. MassDevelopment, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, and Loud Fuel Company are also supporting the initiative.
"Over the next few years, we are ready to set up the MMR as a partner for a number of critical clean-energy initiatives that will not only help the military but boost the regional economy," said U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt (DMass.). "Working with entrepreneurs and the institutions based in

Taking a stand for religious liberty, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal signed an executive order Tuesday granting new protections to businesses that do not wish to service faux weddings.
After meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican this month, Cuban dictator Raùl Castro was apparently so impressed that he claimed to be considering joining the Catholic Church. The May 10 audience lasted just under an hour but generated headlines — and criticism — around the world. Leader of Cuba's dissident "Ladies in White" movement Berta Soler lambasted Castro's comments about becoming Catholic as "a joke" — and for good reason, as Communism and Christianity are inherently opposed to each other. But the implications of the meeting are no laughing matter.
In yet another scheme by the federal government to usurp an ever-expanding role in childrearing, the Obama administration's top education bureaucrat, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, called last week for government boarding schools.
That "white masculinity is THE problem for America's colleges" wasn't the only anti-white comment made by Boston University professor Saida Grundy. Despite this, the school defended her, saying that she was merely exercising "free speech."
Students' test scores continue to reflect the failure of public education in America. But former U.S. Representative George Nethercutt's solution also fails.

As a somber procession of funerals began in shell-shocked Newtown, Conn., local educators on Monday said the nation's deadliest massacre at an elementary school should trigger a broad discussion about how to make schools safer than they are already.
In Pawtucket, Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke took a multi-step approach to the school tragedy in Newtown, Conn. On Saturday, she sent out an e-mail alert to parents reassuring them that the school district's emergency management procedures had been updated last year and that principals and teachers regularly conduct fire and other emergency drills as outlined by state statute.
All of Pawtucket schools are locked and have a security camera and buzzer/intercom system in place to admit parents or other visitors. Cylke noted that the front office staff at each of the schools is diligent about monitoring who enters the schools. Since the incident, she said clerks have been instructed to be even more prudent about obtaining proper identification before letting anyone inside.
Cylke also asked Police Chief Paul King to have a police cruiser outside of every school building at the school start and dismissal times from now through at least Wednesday of this week. She notified parents in her e-mail that the purpose of having a community police presence was to send the message to the children and their teachers and staff members "that you are our priority " and remind them that school "is still a safe, welcoming place."
Stating that "A parent is a child's first and best teacher," Cylke in her e-mail also urged parents to talk to their children about the shooting. She provided two attachments, one from the National Association of School Psychologists and another from the Rhode Island Department of Education outlining tips for parents, teachers and other caregivers on how to talk to children about violence. Cylke's message to parents and the attachments can be viewed on the Pawtucket School Department's website: www.psdri.net.
Cylke said that in the coming days, she, King, and the city's emergency management director will be holding a debriefing to discuss the reactions and to review procedures. "An incident like this causes you to reflect on how well we are prepared, and what procedures we would want to add," said Cylke. "That being said, I think our procedures are in good order. We just instituted the buzzer system and cameras last year."
However, Cylke also noted that Adam Lanza apparently broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School and that the two shooters at Columbine High School in Colorado were students there themselves.
"It's challenging because in any of these rampages, you can think you have everything in place but someone has a different plan," she said.
Cylke added that she has always encouraged the action plan of "see something/say something" and has urged administrators to treat any suspicious report with an abundance of caution. She said the recent lockdown that was instituted at Slater Junior High School after a student reported that another youth had gestured like he might have a weapon was "a perfect example of this." "We must all be diligent and aware and treat everything like it is serious," she said.
Lincoln Schools Supt. Georgia Fortunato says her district has been ahead of the curve on security for some time. It's already got surveillance cameras at doorways, and this spring the district hired an architect to think up strategies to redesign entryways with an eye toward improving security.
Now Newtown raises questions about whether it's all enough.
"You're right, we don't have bulletproof glass," she said. "As educators we all have to be kind of vigilant and attentive to improving the safety of our buildings. We need to meet with law enforcement and security experts to make our buildings as safe as possible."
On Monday, Newtown began seeing the first in a gut-wrenching series of funerals after a lone gunman forced his way inside the elementary school, somehow shattering a glass window to get in.
Once inside, Adam Lanza, 20, a man who reportedly suffered from mental problems, went on a killing spree, murdering 20 children around six or seven years old, as well as six adult teachers, before taking his own life.
Lanza's mother, who was also murdered by her son on Friday, was a substitute teacher at Sandy Hook and some media reports have described her as an obsessive "prepper" — someone who was gearing up for the end of the world by taking an assortment of pre-emptive survivalist measures, such as stockpiling firearms.
Her son reportedly used weapons registered to her in the massacre.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families whose children and loved ones were the victims of the tragic shooting in Newtown," Rhode Island Education Commissioner Deborah Gist said.
"As educators, our very first priority is to ensure that our children are safe in school, and I want to assure Rhode Islanders that we have a number of protocols and practices in place to keep our schools safe and secure."
Gist said RIDE continues to monitor the investigation with an eye toward learning whether it's possible to improve the security measures already in place.
"If we can learn anything from analysis of this crime to make our schools even safer we will certainly do so," she said.
Throughout the region, school officials took measures to reassure parents that students were safe in school. Some also set up links to web sites with advice from professionals on how to help children cope with difficult thoughts about death and making sense of the senseless.
In Cumberland, School Superintendent Philip D. Thornton said the district is preparing an up-to-date report on individual school needs with regard to security and communications.
"This plan will be shared with the School Committee, law enforcement and community leaders," Thornton said. "Counselors are also ready and available in all schools."
Similarly, Lincoln School Committee Chairwoman Elizabeth Robson said the district sent letters to parents through e-mail expressing condolences for the losses in Newtown while reassuring parents about security in local schools. She said the letter mentioned regular lockdown drills, availability of school counseling and advice on how to help children cope.
"It's horrifying," she said, "to believe these tragic events can take place in what we have come to traditionally believe is the safest place for children to be."

Hathaway Brown Middle School
Shaker Heights, Ohio
Graham Gund Architects
An addition updates and expands this
historic and prestigious prep school
For more photos click on 'photos
& drawings' above.
To see the people and products
behind this project click on 'people & products.'
This new, 61,000-square-foot addition
to an original Walker/Weeks building houses classrooms, dining
facilities, and multipurpose meeting spaces. Founded in 1876,
Hathaway Brown is Ohios oldest college preparatory school
for girls and its focus on the humanities and participatory
learning sets it apart.
The main tenants on levels two and three
in the new wing are the 5th through 8th graders. Three state-of-art
science lab/classrooms for the upper school students, an art
complex, and a 300-seat dining facility (sized to accommodate
the entire upper, middle, and lower student bodies at one
sitting) constitute the lower two levels. With a strong curricular
emphasis on the sciences, the new facility supports teaching
and wet laboratories, including a demonstration hood in the
chemistry laboratory. Also on the ground level, flanked by
the arts center and the dining room, is a glass-enclosed great
hall. This serves as a hub of daily school life, a spectacular
setting for special events and large gatherings, and a covered
"outdoor" space.
By locating the "L" of the
new wings in the northwest corner of the campus and by establishing
a new entry axis from the north, the entire campus circulation
is reoriented. A new entry drive focuses on the main facade
of the original building. The entry sequence has been streamlined,
with parking distributed to the sides of the building and
a new drop-off circle at the entries of the upper and middle
schools and gymnasium.

During the Hellenistic period from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until the establishment of the Roman Empire in 31 B.C., the medium of bronze drove artistic innovation. Sculptors moved beyond Classical norms, supplementing traditional subjects and idealized forms with realistic renderings of physical and emotional states. Cast from alloys of copper, tin, lead, and other elements, bronze statues were produced in the thousands: honorific portraits of rulers and citizens populated city squares, and images of gods, heroes, and mortals crowded sanctuaries. Few, however, survive. This unprecedented exhibition unites fifty significant bronzes of the Hellenistic age. July 28, 2015 - November 1, 2015.
"Almost every rock, every promontory, every river, is haunted by the shadows of the mighty dead," wrote the English antiquarian Edward Dodwell of his travels in Greece in the early nineteenth century. During this time, he and the Italian artist Simone Pomardi produced almost one thousand illustrations. Selected from a vast archive of their watercolors and drawings in the collection of the Packard Humanities Institute, this exhibition brings to life a vanished world that enchanted European travelers and inspired their passionate pursuit of classical antiquity. The exhibition culminates with a series of monumental panoramas of Athens rendered with exceptional detail. October 21, 2015 – February 15, 2016

In 1990, Perrier recalled its bottled water after benzene was discovered in some bottles sold in North Carolina. Even though the Food and Drug Administration said there was no danger, the company recalled its entire inventory, thus preserving the purity of its reputation, along with the quality of its water.
An example of the wrong response to a quality control issue occurred with Ford's Pinto whose gas tanks ruptured and caught fire in rear-end collisions. In 1968, the Ford Motor Company, adopting a recommendation made by then vice-president Lee Iacocca, introduced a domestically produced subcompact car. Hoping to gain a large market share, Pinto was designed and developed on an accelerated schedule. While profits became supreme, quality began to suffer. After lawsuits were filed by victims and their families, Ford management appeared to prefer the advice of their attorneys who said it was less expensive to pay off lawsuits than to fix the gas tank problem. Ford's image (and sales) suffered. Management eventually got the message and started producing better cars, announcing in a media campaign, "At Ford, Quality is Job 1."
Like Ford, Toyota can restore its tarnished image if it reverts to its previous business model, which proved hugely successful throughout most of the company's existence.
It would be nice if the U.S. government adopted the earlier Toyota model and embraced those principles. Focusing on excellence before outcome produces the desired outcome. It works in health, education, automobiles, government and virtually anything else to which it is applied. We know what works. Why must so many of our leaders keep relearning the same lesson?

This is similar to tinyurl in the sense that it is a service that has the ability of redirecting you to an URI that would have been much harder to type in; of course the fruition model and usage scenarios are substantially different. The tags are part of a service with a wider scope, which offers to businesses tools such as reporting that are key for assessing the effectiveness of a campaign or similar: gathering usage statistics is necessary for offering that kind of service, hence I am not sure if the "but" applies :-) but then again I am not associated in any way with the Tag team, hence all those are JUST my PERSONAL views & opinions

Eagle Drops Poodle Into a Better Life
A female poodle fell out of the sky onto the grounds of Shorncliffe Nursing Home in Sechelt, British Columbia. Talon marks in her back indicate that she was probably dropped by an eagle who became tired of the dog's 18-pound weight. The nursing home staff sent the poodle, later named Miracle May, to the Sunshine Coast SPCA. The eagle likely saved her life in the long run. May showed signs of longtime neglect, including rotted teeth and claws that were growing into her... READ ON

Police responded, but instead of getting him a refund, they arrested White on a charge of disorderly conduct.

A man dressed in a cow costume went into a Walmart store in Stafford, Virginia, filled a cart with 26 gallons of milk and wheeled out of the store without paying.

What's a good idea for a 12 year old daughter's party? She's very mature and so are her friends. Please help.
By Zahynia from Pataskala, OH
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By JoJo02/06/2011
Hi, I have a daughter who is 11 years old and will be 12 in a few weeks! She is going on Holiday on her actual Birthday, so I was only going to do something small for her party! What we have decided to do is, go to our local beautician who has offered to give the girls makeovers and new hairstyles! After that we will head home and get some snacks in and play little mini games like, eating cream with maltesers of a plate without using your hands and trying to cut a bar of chocolate and eating it using a knife and fork before someone rolls a six on a dice then you will swap! Then rent a movie out and watch that, and my daughter insisted on doing makeovers in the dark so they will do that before going to sleep, and the next morning they will chill out and go to town and do a bit of shopping where there I have secretly booked a limo to come and drive the girls about then take each one home! I know I said I was going for something small, but it's her twelfth and its her first Birthday she wont be with me for it! I hope this helped!
By Louise B. [5]10/19/2010
Go through these ideas in the archives with your daughter and see if anything sounds like fun. I see there is also a 13 years old party idea list. She may like something rather low key like a sleepover, pizza and movie night. If not, there are many ideas suggested. Have fun!
By Tammie [15]10/18/2010
A tea party is great at this age. Have the girls dress up to include white gloves, updo hair etc, and serve finger foods. Cake in the shape of a tea pot, and different flavors of tea to sample. White table cloths and soft music. Include the moms. Later the girls can spend the night. It is really fun especially if the adults gather and it is a great time to get to know the parents that you dont know.

Why not have a skating party or a bowling party its all fun and you can have boys and girls come to it. That's what I have done for my daughter a few times (05/03/2006)

Have you guys ever thought of a jump house? (02/24/2007)

Wing it

A fun idea is have a sleepover and order pizza and stuff. Get ice-cream and lots of snacks, maybe watch a movie, play cards (Cheat and Slap Jack, rock! It's fun I swear),
listen to some music, have make-overs and fashion shows, and stuff like that. If you're quiet then your parents can just go upstairs and they don't have to worry about you, or vice-versa.
The next day have pancakes for breakfast or go to the mall. (03/05/2007)

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

OKay, I have some ideas for girls who are turning 12, for my b-day party, we went to the mall. There was about 4 groups and a parent with each group. Each group had a list of things to find
around the mall (like get a straw from the food court). So it was really like a scavenger hunt around the mall. It was really fun and was a low price! (03/28/2007)

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

Here are some activities I have done for previous birthday parties.

Depending on how many people come to your party buy that many different party favors. Lets say 7 people are come to your party buy 7 different party favors. At home, look for bags of different sizes.
Start with the first (and smallest) bag and put what you think the best prize is in there (an tape it up). Keep doing this until you think that the layers of the bags with prizes in them go
from not-so-great, to best. When it's your party get in a circle and pass around the "bundle". Play music and when the music stops, the person with the bag in their hands opens up the bag and gets
what's inside, so then that person is out. You do this until there are 2 people left. Your guests are or aren't allowed to trade goodies, depending if you are feeling nice or not.

If it is in the winter, make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. Use Marshmallow Fluff to hold it together.

For a theme (in the winter) have a beach theme. In the summer, have a winter wonderland theme.

Hope some of these helped! (08/27/2008)

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

Have a dance party and make CDs for your friends. (08/27/2008)

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

For boy birthday parties, you can do like 10 of your friends that are boys and have water gun fights XP. Then you can play Jack Pot which is wicked fun, but I am not gonna bother writing how to play.
Then play spin the bottle! XP joking. Anyway, you can have a hot dog eating contest or a chocolate milk chugging contest. That would be fun for you lugs I bet. You can
pretend you are girls and have a contest to see who seems the most like a girl. Then, if you have siblings, see who is the best at imitating their siblings. Have the guys w/out siblings be the judges.
If you all have siblings then you are all judges. That's all I've got. If you are wondering how the heck a gigrl knows all this, I am a complete tomboy. Like seriously, I won't wear a skirt.
and my hair is probably shorter than half the boys in the country. So yeah.

Here's an idea, have a spa party! Do manicures and pedicures and if you have a hot tub, relax and turn on the bubbles! Maybe even sip lemonades in champagne glasses! (09/04/2008)

By Hannah

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

I think a pinata is a great idea. Here's my tip if you are having a big party leave disposable cameras around the place and tell people they can pick them up and take photos you'll end up with heaps
of photos of different people and lots of memories! (09/17/2008)

By Rube

my party

As the guests arrived my big brother stood at the door and asked all the gals who had dressed up as pop stars if they were on the guest list. It was well funny because half of them didn't know him.
Then he took them all to the living room and they waited for me to make my entrance. I was upstairs and I was singing they all heard me then I came down the stairs looking like a superstar!
We had karaoke for the rest of the night then they slept over. Great fun for no money! (10/07/2008)

By Ellen

RE: 12 Year Old Party Ideas

I took my daughter to a hotel with many of her friends when she turned 11. We got a hotel with waterslides and a hot tub, etc., because it was a cold winter and our house isn't huge. They got to buy stuff
at the gift shop as their "loot bag" (e.g., stuffed animals). They had their own room where mine adjoined. They rented movies but even took our video game systems to hook up to the hotel TVs.
They did each other's nails, etc. In the morning they went to the fancy restaurant downstairs for waffles. It was a good time.

Now she is having a basement party with boys, so I don't know how to plan for this, her 12th. (02/28/2009)

There are 3 additional techniques for reducing the contrast in printing high contrast negatives. One is the unsharp mask written about and demonstrated by Howard Bond in numerous articles in Photo Techniques. Another is bleaching the exposed print in a very weak ferricyanide solution before developing it in a standard print developer. A third is an exposure to very dim overall light in addition to the image light, often called "flashing".
All these methods have their complexities. Unsharp masking has the advantage in terms of flexibility IMO. Flashing can be made easy by the proper equipment, which includes a sensitive baseboard meter and a light source that has the color temperature of the enlarger lamp and is controllable by a diaphram. None of them requires doing anything to the negative.

2003 Chevrolet Astro Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 2 reviews
The 2003 Chevrolet Astro saw an expansion of the model line, adding a new bargain, no-frills base trim package. Design elements were refreshed, including 16-inch wheels on all trim packages - steel on the base model and aluminum on the LS and LT versions. A new all-disc antilock braking system became standard on all trims.
With seating for eight passengers, the '03 Chevy Astro has a roomy interior. Front bucket seats and two bench seats are the standard configuration; for the LT, buyers can choose bucket seats for the second row. Leather upholstery is also available on the LT.
The 2003 Astro is a sturdy midsize minivan based on a rugged truck platform. Some consumers complain that it rides more like a pickup than a passenger van; others appreciate its high clearance and stiff suspension.
Under the hood of the '03 Astro, you'll find a 4.3-liter V6 engine that puts out 190 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque. That's a healthy amount of power, but it definitely comes at a price: The 2003 Chevy Astro has an EPA fuel economy rating of 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway.

Dr. Dinggang Li: Comprehensive Cancer Therapies
"The outcome of the first pilot study with Johnsen is amazing. The PET-CT scan for Johnsen shows that all the tumor disappeared after the treatment," says Dr. Dinggang Li, M.D. PhD. He has developed and conducted CCT for more than 100 international cancer patients in the past few years. DCs loaded with different kinds of brain cancer related antigens that target cancer cells and the CIK cell treatment are the main elements of his comprehensive treatment for cancer. "In the first cycle of treatment, we treated him with comprehensive approaches including SHG-44 loading DC, CIK cell therapy and TCM, but we had not been able to control the progression of the disease, the tumors continued to grow. We gave him the DC therapy which targets brain CSCs in the 2nd cycle of treatment, and it showed a very promising response."
Dr. Cindy HAO: More clinical trials to confirm the outcome
Cindy HAO, M.D., CEO of Cellonis Biotechnologies is optimistic for the future of this new brain cancer approach. "It gives us a strong confidence to make more efforts toward this direction. This pilot treatment study shows us that the activated immune system can directly kill tumor stem cells as well as tumor daughter cells. But first of all we need to extend our further clinical trials to confirm the outcome. And it also tells us that the future vaccination therapies may be targeted toward Cancer Stem Cell Lysates to improve the antigen-presenting DC response."

This highly spatially variable features will be difficult as best in advance of the wave of warm advection aloft expected later in the overnight. The GFS20km and NAM12km model were in fair agreement on WAA/weak PVU anomaly moving into western Kansas overnight into the early morning hours. Moisture advection appears extremely limited based on 800-700 mb moisture transport vectors. a weak shortwave ridging will be in place across the state as the upper 500 mb low across central New Mexico begins to drive southward in the models. An isolated shower or thunderstorms could occur with weak mid level vorticity however the models suggest a cease of the activity beyond the morning hours wednesday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday NIGHT THROUGH Tuesday) ISSUED AT 313 PM CDT TUE OCT 6 2015 A cold front will traverse the area on Thursday. Limited moisture profiles however should only allow the forcing to result in scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, and no real threat for severe weather. Temperatures in the medium range are likely to oscillate from much above normal to near normal. Moderate dew points in the 40s to low 50s should make most evenings relatively pleasant through the period. The largest warmup will be Sunday as the surface winds return to south southwest and likely full insolation and downslope winds push highs to near 90 degrees in some locations. Any residual cloudiness however could have a significant impact of highs as we are heading into the cool season. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z Wednesday AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 109 PM CDT TUE OCT 6 2015 Low LIFR stratus should remain well to the west of the GCK terminal this afternoon as the boundary layer grows and ceilings rapidly improve. Stratus development this evening may need to be revisited as the boundary layer cools and boundary layer cloudiness may redevelop. A brief period of mid level warm advection will bring a round of showers and possible widely scattered thunderstorms across the region overnight and early Wednesday, and TAFS may need to be adjusted over the next 24 hours. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Do you look your age?
People used to tell me that I looked younger than I was but I think I'm starting to look my age now that I'm in my 40s. Not sure if I'm happy about that!
Do you look your age? What do people tell you?
For the most part yes I look my age, though people do tend to estimate about 5 years lower than my real age when they are guessing.
Df and I. I'm always told i look older then what I am. Same goes for df
People usually guess that I am as young as 16 to 19 most times
I'll be 50 in 2 weeks, I think I've aged well.
No I dont. I'm 31 and people always tell me how young I look.

Publishers Weekly Review
Modan (Exit Wounds) has proven to be one of the most accessible of graphic novelists, with a cinematic presentation and the ability to capture the complexity of larger human experience within smaller family dramas. Her latest work takes readers on a trip to Warsaw with Mica and her grandmother, Regina, both from Israel. Their purpose in Poland is to check on some long lost property that Regina's father owned prior to the Holocaust; she fled during the war, thus becoming the only family member to survive. The understanding that families were fractured and lives rerouted after WWII is nothing new, but the particulars provide the story here-family secrets and the measure of shame, historical and current attitudes between Poles and Jews, the changing views of cross-culture collusion when a hint of romance is involved, and the ways in which we don't so much reinvent ourselves as repurpose. The pursuit of old family documents is concurrent with the unearthing of family secrets, but Modan doesn't dole out the revelations with alarm or melodrama, but rather with a casual good nature toward her subjects, backed up with art somewhat reminiscent of Tintin but revealing the deepest memories of guilt and loss with merely the twitch of a line. A beautiful, fully realized story that's as much "novel" as "graphic". (June) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
INCLUDED ON MORE THAN TEN BEST OF THE YEAR LISTS, INCLUDING THE GUARDIAN, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, SALON, AMAZON, AND THE WASHINGTON POST! "Modan delights in bringing the subtlest emotional shadings to vivid and often comical life on the page...[ The Property is a] wryly funny and ultimately wrenching graphic novel." - NPR The award-winning author of Exit Wounds returns with a story about secrets, money, and the bonds of love The Property is a work that will inspire, fascinate, and delight readers and critics alike. Savvy and insightful, elegant and subtle, Rutu Modan's second full-length graphic novel is a triumph of storytelling and fine lines. After the death of her son, Regina Segal takes her granddaughter Mica to Warsaw, hoping to reclaim a family property lost during the Second World War. As they get to know modern Warsaw, Regina is forced to recall difficult things about her past, and Mica begins to wonder if maybe their reasons for coming aren't a little different than what her grandmother led her to believe. Modan offers up a world populated by prickly seniors, smart-alecky public servants, and stubborn women-a world whose realism is expressed alternately in the absurdity of people's behavior and in the complex consequences of their sacrifices. Modan's ever-present wit is articulated perfectly in her clear-line style, while a subtle, almost muted color palette complements the true-to-life nuances of her characterization. Exit Wounds made a huge splash for this signature combination of wit, style, and realism, and The Property will cement Modan's status as one of the foremost cartoonists working today.

Last week, I predicted that the furor around Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst will end badly.
The media was not only obsessing over the sideshow, forgoing yet another opportunity to actually inform the public about health care and the efforts to reform the insurance system. Even worse, they were all but ignoring the substance behind Wilson's claim, taking a pass on the question of whether Wilson was correct or not. (He wasn't.)
The media was not only allowing Wilson's outburst to divert the entire health care debate to a discussion of the relatively small matter of how, if at all, health care reform would treat people who are in the country illegally, they were repeating his false claim over and over without indicating its falsity.
That behavior has continued. And, incredibly, reporters actually praise news reports that fail to examine the question of whether Wilson was telling the truth. Take this Washington Post news report today: 1,300 words, not one of them indicating whether Wilson was right or wrong. 1,300 words, and it omits a central -- perhaps the central -- fact of the controversy: Wilson was wrong. And Politco's Jonathan Martin praises it as a "good story."
This will not end well.
Boy, it's like the Newsbusters crew is trying to set some sort of record for inane media criticism in a single day. Earlier, Tim Graham said the Washington Post's obituary of Patrick Swayze proved the paper's liberal bias by not mentioning Red Dawn until the 23rd paragraph.
Now Mark Finkelstein attacks MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan for conducting a "fawning" interview of Barney Frank, with Finkelstein throwing around the words "sycophant" and "suck-up" and "appeasing" to describe Ratigan's behavior.
Here's the problem: the interview in question included a testy exchange in which Ratigan repeatedly interrupted Frank as he tried to answer a question.
It's awfully strange to see an interview in which the interviewee feels the need to insist "I'm trying to answer it ... I'm trying to answer it ... these things are somewhat complicated. And they can't all be answered in eight seconds. ... So I wish you would let me answer the question" described as "fawning," but that's what passes as media criticism on the Right.
The paper devotes an entire article to the question of how many people showed up for the anti-Obama rally on Saturday, and the newspaper (surprise!) politely ignores the details surrounding the now-infamous 2 million protester lie, helped spread by Michelle Malkin. If you're going to write a news story about the weekend crowds, that's the story. But still, the Times plays dumb. It's just the latest example of how the mainstream political press fails to hold the GOP Noise Machine accountable. How right-wing pundits like Malkin can lie with immunity.
BTW, the Times piece is just a weak piece of lazy journalism.
Headline with subhead:
Crowd estimates vary wildly for Capitol march: How many angry conservatives showed up to protest Obama's policies? Was it 2 million? Or 60,000? It all depends on whom you ask.
See how the bogus "2 million" mark was right there in the headline? It's then planted in the lede:
But even before the march was over, the news media, bloggers and rally supporters were wrangling over the crowd count, with estimates ranging from 60,000 to 2 million.
Where, specifically, did the (fictitious) 2 million figure come from? The Times never bothers to report that detail. The Times article is completely silent regarding the fact that Malkin pushed that concocted figure and did it by referring to a non-existent ABC News report. The Times is also silent regarding the fact that right-wing bloggers spent all of Saturday spreading the blatantly untrue 2 million figure, despite the fact ABC News was on the record denying it ever reported the crowd was that big.
In other words, the Times writes a story about Saturday's crowd estimates and completely misses the story, which was how the right-wing noise machine was, once again, busy spreading blatant lies and comical misinformation. But newspaper like the Times don't like to tell those kinds of tales. Because what would those nasty conservative bloggers would write in response?!
UPDATED: The Times concluded the actual crowd size was probably very low six figures:
Although no official crowd estimates were issued, local officials and an expert indicated the number was more likely under 100,000, still a sizable turnout.
The newspaper though, remains silent (it makes no judgment) regarding the fact that the bloggers' estimate, which the Times used in its headline and lede, was off by 1.9 million people.
Media Research Center's Tim Graham:
WaPo Patrick Swayze Obit Gets to His Drag-Queen Movie Before 'Red Dawn'
Here's a sign the Washington Post is a liberal newspaper: today's Adam Bernstein obituary for Patrick Swayze begins obviously by noting his big hits "Ghost" and "Dirty Dancing," but doesn't get to "Red Dawn" until paragraph 23. Even then, Bernstein wrongly suggests he had a supporting role
I'm not kidding. Graham really wrote that. It actually happened.
UPDATE: Even Newsbusters' commenters are bewildered that Graham would post such an inane media-bias claim, leading him to respond in the comments:
It's merely an amusing little sign of how the Post doesn't have anyone inside the building to say "hey, didn't you ever see Red Dawn?"
And, really, what newsroom is complete without anyone saying "Hey, didn't you ever see Red Dawn"?
Mark Salter, longtime chief-of-staff and head writer for John McCain, has a column in Real Clear Politics entitled "The Media's Pathetic Double Standard," in which he complains that the media is more critical of incivility by Republicans than Democrats. Salter, of course, is an almost uniquely inappropriate messenger for that particular message, for reasons we'll get to in a moment.
Salter's column is a case study in the use of false equivalence. For example:
Today's "birthers," are no more offensive or weird than those who believe the Bush Administration was complicit in planning the attacks of September 11
There is, of course, a bit of a difference: Today's "Birthers" count among their ranks several Republican members of congress and famous conservative media figures.
Many thousands of demonstrators marched on the Washington Mall last Saturday to protest Democratic healthcare reform proposals, and the Obama administration's record spending and centralization of economic power in the federal government. The Washington Post headlined the event as "Lashing Out at the Capitol." I can't recall the Post using a similar verb choice to characterize the expressions of anti- war protestors, some of whom carried posters bearing President Bush's likeness in a Nazi uniform and Hitler moustache.
Saturday's right-wing protest march in Washington -- based on a disparate and at times conflicting set of of grievances -- was given front-page play in the Washington Post. A 2002 anti-war rally in DC that drew 100,000 people was buried in the Metro section. And Salter thinks this is an example of a pro-liberal double standard! Incredible.
The Post's decision to bury coverage of that anti-war rally deep inside the paper may explain Salter's inability to recall the paper portraying the protesters negatively. Still, you would think the guy would do a simple Nexis search to confirm his clearly flawed memory before spouting off. Had he done so, he would have found this Post Ombudsman column:
Last Saturday, some 100,000 people, and possibly more, gathered in downtown Washington to protest against possible U.S. military action against Iraq. The Post did not put the story on the front page Sunday. It put it halfway down the front page of the Metro section, with a couple of ho-hum photographs that captured the protest's fringe elements.
Salter concludes:
I despair of the coarsening of our politics and our broader culture. So much so that after a lifetime in politics I'm beginning to think I might have rendered more honorable service to humanity had I worked in professional wrestling. That independents, who decide elections in this country, seem to feel the same way is enough encouragement to hope that perhaps we are still capable of reform. But our political discourse won't begin to recover any civility until we get some referees back in the game, who will call bullshit on both sides.
Which brings us to the problem with Mark Salter delivering this particular message. Salter's longtime boss, John McCain, has been responsible for some of the most intemperate displays of incivility in modern American politics -- and the media largely gave him a pass for it.
When McCain called a teenaged Chelsea Clinton "ugly," the media gave him a pass. When he praised as "excellent" a question that referred to Hillary Clinton as a "bitch," the media gave him a pass. When McCain used an ethnic slur to refer to the Vietnamese, the media barely batted an eye.
You'd be hard pressed to find an American politician who ever benefited from media double-standards as much as John McCain did -- particularly when it came to looking the other way when he said something nasty. And here's Mark Salter, claiming his party has been the victim of such double-standards.
And, given the media's decade-long love affair with McCain, you just know the media is going to buy this nonsense.
Honestly, I think folks on the right should just stop talking about crowd estimates for Saturday. That hole is already deep enough.
Still, the latest laugh installment comes from Charlie Martin at Pajamas Media, the same right-wing Pajamas Media that did its best to spread comical misinformation over the weekend about how 2 million people had attended the 9/12 tea party. Local D.C. official had a slightly different take on the crowd: between 60-70,000.
So yeah, there's a 1,930,000 gap.
Martin's determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and yes, Martin completely ignores the humiliating role Michelle Malkin played in pushing the 2 million nonsense over the weekend. No need to embarrass Malkin, Martin just wants to uncover the facts of the attendance mystery.
Here's the part that made me laugh:
Now, via [blogger Stephen] Green, we have a number reported by Barbara Espinosa from the "people meter" on Pennsylvania Ave — a total of 1.5 million people passed by during the march. Now, that's some kind of direct count, but we don't know what kind — if anyone has any information on this "people meter" I'd love to see it — so let's save that as an estimate and see what else we get.
According to Green, somebody counted every person who walked down Pennsylvania Ave. on Saturday and voilà! It was 1.5 million. What Martin failed to mention in his post was that Stephen Green seemed to have a very hard time on Saturday keeping any sort of facts straight about the crowd count.
As I recently noted:
And then there was the sad, confused work of blogger Stephen Green. Doing his best to spread the word about the supposedly massive crowd size on Saturday, Green first claimed that CNN had reported the crowd was 2 million strong. (CNN never did any such thing.) Then later under a banner that read "correction," Green, following Malkin's phony lead, reported it was ABC News that reported 2 million protesters were on hand. (Green then failed to correct his "correction.")
UPDATED: Oh yeah, over the weekend, right-wing bloggers tried to bolster their case for a crowd of 2 million by posting a bogus aerial photo of the ant-Obama rally.
So there's that.
The sign read: "Why does Obama need his own army?? Civilian National Security Force. Who's the enemy? U.S. Civilians?"
Beck crops Obama to fearmonger about "crazy things" like "civilian national security force"
Beck claims Obama's "civilian national security force" is "what Hitler did with the SS," "what Saddam Hussein" did
More than 60 advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Glenn Beck's Fox News program since he called President Obama a "racist" who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." Here are his September 14 sponsors, in the order they appeared:
Lear Capital
Liberty Medical
News Corp. (The Wall Street Journal)
Rosland Capital
Conservatives for Patient's Rights

National Review
On June 2, David Horowitz wrote a post on his FrontPageMag blog denouncing inflammatory anti-Obama rhetoric, such as claiming that President Obama wants to take advantage of a "Reichstag fire" type of incident to "terminate our Republic as Hitler did the Weimar Republic in the 1930s" (as WorldNetDaily's David Kupelian had claimed the day before). Horowitz wrote: "Obama is a machine politician and whatever dangers he represents (and as I see it there are many) are dangers because they reflect the heart and soul of today's Democratic Party, not because he is a Manchurian candidate or a closet Islamist, as more than a few conservatives seem to think."
How times change. A Sept. 11 FrontPageMag article by Horowitz carries the headline "The Manchurian Candidate." The front page of FrontPageMag promoted the article with this image:
So when does Horowitz start touting the "new Reichstag fire"?
