Recent publication of the global epidemiology of clonorchiasis and its relationship with cholangiocarcinoma in the journal of Infectious Diseases of Poverty has stressed the importance of Clonorchis sinensis infection. To further demonstrate its threat on public health, especially in China, comparisons between clonorchiasis and hepatitis B are made in terms of epidemiology, clinical symptoms and carcinogenicity, disability, as well as changing trends. Furthermore, major problems and prioritized researches are argued, from basic biology to intervention. Imbalance between the majority of infected population and the minority of researches in China urges for more work from Chinese scientists and international cooperation.

A review on the global epidemiology of clonorchiasis and its relationship with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) was published in the journal of Infectious Diseases of Poverty on 25th October 2012 [1]. A total of 15 million people are estimated to be infected with Clonorchis sinensis in East Asia and nearly 5,000 CCA cases attributed to this infection may occur annually in the coming decades. That article seeks to elucidate the situation and impact of clonorchiasis. However, some more deserve to be discussed, especially in China.
Comparisons between clonorchiasis and hepatitis B in China
Clonorchiasis ranks among the top neglected tropical diseases [2]. Thus, comparing it with hepatitis B will promote revealing its threat on public health in China.
Firstly, most people infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) distribute in China, and so do C. sinensis infections. A total population of 93 million is infected with HBV in China, which is about one quarter of the global number [3,4], while out of 15 million with C. sinensis infection globally, over 85% distributes in China (Figure 1A) [1]. Even after including another liver fluke infection, opisthorchiasis, the number in China is still over 50% (Figure 2B) [1,5,6]. Similar distribution characteristics in sexes and ages are shown in both infections, namely higher prevalence in males than in females and in adults than in children [1,7].
Figure 1. Population with liver fluke infections globally. A: Population with clonorchiasis. B: Population with clonorchiasis and opisthorchiasis.
Secondly, as HBV mainly attacks the liver, C. sinensis infection also causes liver diseases, as well as biliary conditions. Although there are differences, some similarities may lead to misdiagnosis. Both may present non-specific symptoms or signs, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice and hepatomegaly [8,9]. What is most similar is that both can cause liver cancer [10,11]. Hepatocellular carcinoma and CCA are the two most common types of liver cancer [12]. HBV is a definite carcinogen to hepatocellular carcinoma, while C. sinensis is the one to CCA [10,11]. Meta-analyses captured a general odds ratio of 15.6 for HBV infection in causing hepatocellular carcinoma [13], and 4.5 for C. sinensis infection in causing CCA [1]. Inflammation is the crucial factor in the carcinogenesis of both agents [10]. As the carcinogenicity is associated with the virus load in HBV [14], it is relevant to the infection intensity in Opisthorchis viverrini-homologous to C. sinensis[15].
Thirdly, both HBV and C. sinensis infections cause significant disability. An average disability weight of 0.075 in C. sinensis infection is captured through community survey and model simulation [16], which is unexpectedly the same as that in hepatitis B [17].
Nevertheless, different changing trends appear. Although there is no availability of treatment to completely clear HBV, efficient vaccine and great efforts contribute to its obvious decline, especially in China [4,7,18]. Even though specific drug, namely praziquantel, is available, neglect and re-infection cause the significant increase in clonorchiasis [1,2].
Although there are fundamental differences in biology and some other aspects, comparisons above justify the public health importance of C. sinensis infection in China. Even though a relatively smaller population is infected with C. sinensis as compared with HBV nationally, the impact of clonorchiasis challenges hepatitis B in major endemic areas, namely the east part of China [1,19], where the former is becoming another killer of the liver and biliary health. The great success in controlling hepatitis B in China should provide valuable lessons for tackling clonorchiasis.
More problems raised and more researches needed in China
Recently, the Disease Reference Group on Helminth Infections (DRG4) established by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases ranked prioritized researches for the control and elimination of major human helminthiases, including clonorchiasis [20]. Indeed, some have also been pointed out directly or indirectly in our former article.
Although three large-scale surveys involving clonorchiasis in China promote understanding the national situation and changes, epidemiology is only captured at the provincial level rather than at the county or lower level, which hampers the implementation of intervention measurements. Therefore, new methods, such as spatial techniques and modeling, deserve to be introduced to draw an epidemiological map for the disease [21,22]. Even though some epidemiological characteristics are known, social ecology and environmental determinants need to be elucidated further, such as the inherent drive for raw-fish-eating behavior, the cycle of infection-treatment-re-infection, factors involving in distributing and taking drug, roles of intermediate hosts, climate change [23], the property of zoonosis [24] and so on.
Whether other liver flukes and intestinal flukes are co-endemic in China challenges more accurate diagnosis, especially molecular methods [1,25]. Although two endemic zones have been classified [1] and some differences in biology have also been found [26], whether there exist differences in morbidity, especially in CCA, are also expected to be explored. It is already known that infection intensity is associated with carcinogenesis in O. viverrini infection [15], but corresponding studies in C. sinensis infection are not yet available, which causes unreasonably adopting the same OR in calculating CCA incidence in both sexes [1]. Furthermore, the impact of co-endemicity of C. sinensis and HBV infections on morbidity, especially on liver cancer in the east part of China, needs to be evaluated. Obviously, the establishment of tumor registry in China will promote related researches. Massive drug administration still counts on single drug, praziquantel [27], but no standardized principles of management are yet available. Additionally, tribendimidine, which shows promising efficiency against C. sinensis infection in vivo, in vitro, and in small field test, is expected to be further evaluated [28-30].
Even though most of the population infected with liver flukes distribute in China, corresponding researches are significantly less as compared with that in the Republic of Korea and Thailand, especially in CCA (Figure 2A and 2B, Additional file 2). The effort for controlling clonorchiasis in China will determine the global agenda for control and even elimination. Thus, more researches are anticipated from Chinese scientific workers. As it should be, international cooperation will be welcomed for tackling this problem [31].

The comparability between clonorchiasis and hepatitis B in epidemiology, clinical symptoms and carcinogenicity and disability, and contrast in changing trends, justify the threat of clonorchiasis and the urgency for intervention in China. Prioritized researches covering topics from basic biology to intervention are expected, which will benefit the control and even final elimination of clonorchiasis. However, the imbalance between the majority of infected population and the minority of researches in China draws more challenges. Thus, more efforts and outputs are expected from Chinese scientists, as well as international cooperation.

SLOK: Music in the blood from day one
One of the many tracks that I've had on repeat for a while now is Lonely Child (2012) by a man who calls himself SLOK. SLOK is the alias of Alessandro Russo, an Italian producer who was born into music and has managed to establish himself as a reputable music maker in his own right, with a few albums already under his belt and releases on labels such as My Favorite Robot, One Records and Get Physical to name but a few. We caught up recently to speak about Alessandro's life so far.
Firstly, can you introduce yourself… what's your name, where are you from and how would you describe the music you make?
Sure, my real name is Alessandro Russo, I'm 100 per cent Italian, I was born into a musician's family and I've been a sound engineer and producer of various styles of electronic, underground music for almost 15 years under few different names. For example the tech and progressive house project called "Stereonova", which with I released a few vinyl EPs with the renowned (now sadly closed) Covent Garden records store and record label Plastic Fantastic between 2002 and 2005, but mainly I produce under the my first and favourite artist name "SLOK". I have used this name to release remixes and original tracks on high-profile labels such as One Records, My Favorite Robot, Get Physical, SAW Recordings, Turbo, OM, Circle Music, Baroque and plenty more, including my own imprint Electronic Petz.
Being from the centre of Italy, what were some of your early local musical inspirations?
I was born in Ancona, a nice little town of the beautiful Marche region, we can say the elbow of Italy – right on the Adriatic coast opposite Croatia. There wasn't, and still isn't, much to do with electronic music, or any good place where to go if you are looking for new inspirations apart from Rock, Punk, a few Jazz bands that usually jam around the city, and that's why I played as drummer in different local bands. Really Ancona and its neighborhoods are only good for relaxing!
Luckily in my parents and uncle's living rooms there was a huge collection of vinyl from every genre, from the Jazz of Mile Davis, to the Sixties pop and rock'n'roll sounds of The Beatles, Rolling Stones to the Seventies Progressive Rock like the UK's Genesis and some electronic bands like Kraftwerk for example, to the father of Soul James Brown, or Prince, the Italo producer Giorgio Moroder – Giorgio is actually a native from the same region where I come from and his family now produce a really great wine (Rosso Conero Moroder) – and then we also had Depeche Mode to listen to… so many artists and bands to mention!
What were the big clubs in your city and who were the most famous DJs?
Luckily Ancona is only one-hour, by car, from Riccione, Rimini and Misano Adriatico – places where almost all of the great Italian clubs are, or were like "Ethos" and then "Echoes Mama Club", "Peter Pan", "Price", "Cocorico" – cool places where house music grew in Italy thanks to the greatest local DJs like Flavio Vecchi, Ricky Montanari, Ralf, Wayne Brown together with the international DJs like Dave Piccioni, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Satoshi Tomiie, Hector Romero and many other talented guys played the new underground music, very different from what you could hear on the radio and everywhere else at the time.
So I started like this to discover "Club Culture", taking lots of time alone my car, driving to the north to go clubbing, having fun and listening to new and rare music, dancing, asking for mixtapes from DJs, and mainly observing how they worked with the turntables. In Rimini thanks to my DJ friend Wayne Brown, from Birmingham, I started to understand and to learn some important tricks with which to produce house and hip-hop music.
Why did you decide to become a DJ?
It was naturally decided, and it was around the same time I released with the Italian label IRMA Records my first jungle, drum 'n' bass, break beats album, They Call It Jungle, followed by the second more eclectic one Freak 2000 just because I was looking for the way to mix my music, and my favourite artist's music and play it around the world!
How did you make this dream become a reality?
Well it's not easy at all with any artistic or freelance work today – I'm not only talking about the music business, and if you are not well-connected with someone that can push you because you are talented, well there are some years to stay, sit and wait, then if you're really good for sure the only magic words I know for let a dream come are: "Work a lot with passion and be careful!". But yes, the dream becomes a reality when someone calls and books you to play in front of a crowd that's ready for your sound and that loves the music you produce, that's top!
Where does your name come from?
"SLOK" is a 1972 John Landis low-budget movie, a spoof, where a human ape kills people and puts bananas peels around the imaginary town it inhabits. So when IRMA Records, Italy, sent me the paperwork for the first EP I did with them, there was the 'artist name' space to fill, and I hadn't yet though about it. With the fax paper in my hand I looked at my mother and she said, 'SLOK!' and I asked why. She replied straight away, 'Because when you were a kid playing at home you jumped around like that Banana Monster!' And I said, 'Well okay! You're right mum, I like it!'
There seems to be a strong scene in Italy, Life And Death, yourself, Lorenzo Dada, Leon, Pirupa, NiCe7 and lots more… plus all the big clubs and festivals. What do you love most about the Italian scene?
I think on that list surely Life And Death is the best organised and strongest underground Italian music label at the moment. I really like the music they have released during the last two years and really hope to open a collaboration with their team soon! I'm totally sure that in Italy there are lots of young and talented artists and some great festivals too, but to be honest I don't see any local scene today. What I can only see, thanks to the digital era, is a global international panoramic scene where lots of people have a great desire to produce house music, and I'm finally glad that after all of those years of work to be considered part of it!
I wish I could play again in my dear Italy, that is something I miss! I think Italy needs an electronic music radio station like there once was with Radio Italia Network! But hey, do you really want to know what I deeply still love in my country? Well, Mozzarella, pizza, pasta, wine, vegetables, olive oil, the sea, the good air, the sunshine, the countryside, the history, the beautiful girls, you know, Italy is one of the best countries in the world for those things!
In your opinion who are some of the most important old school Italian DJs?
Flavio Vecchi, Ricky Montanari, Ralf, Claudio Mozart Rispoli (aka Jestofunk) are surely the four most important and Riviera Adriatica's old school house music and funky afro DJs. But the first DJ I ever knew of was a guy who was living in the the same building as my parents. When I was six he put his headphone on my ears… wow, it was too wonderful for me. The first time I felt the frequencies and a stereophonic mixdown, pure love, that was kind of the start for me!
When did you start to make music?
I started to make music, I mean to produce my first tracks, when I was 16 with a drum machine, a sampler, a guitar, a digital delay and an 8-channel mixer. But I never went to a music school as I was born into a musician's family and so my parents living room was full of instruments to discover – like percussion, synthesizers, electric basses and guitars, amplifiers, trumpets, saxophones. Also, I had the chance to watch some professional engineers and musicians at work and that's how I learned and then I spent hours and hours and days of practice by myself, that's the only way.
You're coming to London soon, what do you like about the city?
Yes, I will come in the south of London the October 19th, because I will play at Lightbox with Max Chapman, Russ Yallop, DJs from Studio Barnhus (Axel Boman, Kornel Kovacs, Peter Nordkvist), Data Transmission DJs (Lawrence Daffurn, Dalton & Trench, Jimmy Switch, Jack Lyons) and so I'm very excited about that. I know London a bit, I lived there for a few months in 1999 when I was recording the second SLOK album, and I also went to the Blue Note for Goldie's legendary Metalheadz party, then I went back a couple of times also for the carnival in Notting Hill. Every time I visit I'm impressed in a different way, and I can't wait what kind of new feelings and emotions I will have in October.
What are your plans for the future?
I'm actually busy with everything, and into compiling a new various artists album with unreleased house music tracks produced by some of the artists which I love to work with: The RealBirds (FR), Javier Carballo (ES), Santos Resiak (AR), Kirill Kirik (UA), Franck Valat (FR), Ashley Albritton (US) and newcomers like Juliche Hernandez from Gran Canaria Island and the talented female DJ Vicky Groove from Barcelona but obviously it will contain a few tracks of mine – the release date is planned for the end of November on my own imprint Electronic Petz.
At the same time, I'm working on my new album, The Fat Pasta Grooves 2012 that should see the light during 2013. I'm also starting to work on a couple of singles/collaborations with Eric Volta and Jonny Cruz. I just want to make everything happen soon – I'm even accepting lots of proposals. I'm receiving from labels to do new EPs and remixes… we'll see. I work alone, I don't work with any sounds engineers like many people do, so it takes time and I don't like to release stuff which I don't like, so I hope that I will be able to work at the same time with all of these projects.

Six-hundred employees losing their jobs at Center Partners Ziegler Road office will be out of work by Oct. 18.
The Fort Collins-based call center announced Monday it was laying off workers because of changing business needs. It told the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment it was cutting 600 jobs between Oct. 1 and Dec. 6 and closing its Ziegler Road office by Dec. 1.
Employees report the company lost a major client, Capital One credit services, which decided to move customer support functions covered by the call center in house.
According to the state labor department, Center Partners reported it would cut 263 workers on Oct. 1, 101 more on Oct. 7 and an additional 236 on Oct. 18. The remaining dozen layoffs will trickle out from Nov. 1 through Dec. 6. Center Partners other Fort Collins office and call center at 4401 Innovation Drive will remain open.
Because of the number of layoffs, Center Partners was required to notify the labor department under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act.
Several Center Partners employees told the Coloradoan the company had increased staffing through early July to accommodate a large increase in business due to Capital Ones purchase of HSBC bank. When Capital One changed direction, Center Partners no longer needed the workers servicing that account.
A handful of employees interviewed by the Coloradoan said they received an email Monday informing them a major client was leaving. A second email invited employees to town hall meetings where they could ask questions and then pick up individualized letters with their termination dates. According to one employee who asked not to be named for fear of losing her job earlier than October, several people quit on the spot.
Employees said they were not offered severance packages but can file for unemployment.
Ellie Wakefield was not at work Monday when the announcement was made but picked up her termination letter Thursday, her first day back at work.
She said the company plans to provide lists of other call centers that are hiring and hoped to transfer some workers within the company. Theyre pretty good at helping with transitions, said Wakefield, who has seen several staffing changes during her 2½-year tenure with Center Partners.
An agent hired this year said she doubted she could transfer to another job because of her short time with the company. Other people might have the opportunity, but us agents that have been there a short time definitely wont have the opportunity.
Others said Center Partners continued to hire even while it knew layoffs were likely. They want us to stay around because they need us to service Capital One customers through early October, the agent said.
Center Partners officials did not respond to requests for comment.
In some abstract way I feel Capital One let me down, but Im the last person Capital One cares about, said one employee. Center Partners worked hard for the past six months to take us agents and bring us to this level. We were just ramping up for this project. The fact that this happened has more to do with Capital One than Center Partners, he said.

Deep Cuts
Home treatment can be used to care for a cut that is not deep (superficial). A cut is deep if:
- The deepest part of the cut is not visible.
- The cut is more than 0.25 in. (6.5 mm) deep.
- Fat, muscle, tendon, nerve, ligament, or bone tissue is seen.
When there is a cut on the face, neck, chest, or abdomen, the depth of the cut is very important to determine whether medical treatment is needed.
Deep cuts are often caused from a sharp object piercing through the skin.
- Deep cuts that enter the chest or abdomen have an
increased risk of infection, internal bleeding, and organ damage.
- Deep cuts to the chest may cause trouble breathing.
- Deep cuts to the abdomen may cause the belly to become tender or rigid.
- Deep cuts in the neck may injure blood vessels or impair breathing.
- Deep cuts to an extremity may injure underlying tissues such as blood vessels, nerves, tendons, ligaments, muscles, joints, or bones.
When a deep cut has occurred anywhere on the body, watch for signs of shock.

Within the past month or so, I find it odd that the occurrence of friends who have had their Hotmail, Gmail, Facebook or other online accounts hijacked has roughly tripled... Probably some new social engineering technique or malware is behind it, but I took the time to write this up since preventing account hijacking from happening to you is easy and probably won't take more than 5 minutes to make the changes to your online accounts.
Part of basic online security is choosing a good password. Remember that many password crackers are loaded with dictionary words and common variations thereof (replacing a letter with a number, adding numbers after a word) - choosing a simple password makes your account is an easy target. Any secure password should be at least 8 characters in length, include letters (upper and lower case), numbers and even punctuation when possible. Below is a quick 5-step process for choosing a secure and memorable password:
! @ # $ % & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] \ { } | ; ' : " , . / ?
For example, I like chocolate ice cream. I choose the number 38 at random, used an exclamation mark and made any letter "c" my password uppercase. The end result is ChoColate38!iCeCeam. It isn't very difficult to remember, but that would be extremely tricky to guess!
Many websites (and even some banks) employ the "secret question" technique to verify your identity. Often, you can also reset your password by giving the answer to one of your secret questions. If you have a secret question that's easy to guess, having a secure password is moot; the secret question bypasses it completely. Even worse, the attacker could change your password once they break into your account locking you out!
The answer to this problem is to choose something unrelated to the question and use that for the answer. Make it obscure enough so that you can use the same answer all the time so you don't have to remember which nonsensical answer you choose for which question... For example:
What is your best friend's name? Spoon43.
What is your favourite food? Spoon43.
What was the name of the first street you lived on? Spoon43.
What is your mother's maiden name? Spoon43.
Be careful of what you post online. Nobody thinks identity theft could ever happen to them, but happens much more often than you would expect. As well, with the rise in popularity of social networks it has become easier and easier to track people down and lift information from profiles.
Encryption is a technique that turns information unreadable to anyone without a the key or passphrase. You should only store your sensitive data if it is encrypted as it will make it much more difficult for hackers to get at:
There are many ways for them to break into your account. I've explained some of the common methods below:
Keyloggers are a type of computer malware that people often call "a virus," but it is very different from your ordinary virus. Keyloggers infect your computer and show no symptoms; they will not make your computer slower, delete your document or crash programs. Instead, they record what you type on the keyboard and send it to the hacker who wrote the keylogger. For hackers, this is a very appealing method since it has the potential to not only catch your passwords, but also your credit card numbers, online banking PINs and more.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free tool that is extremely effective at removing malicious software from your computer. The scan only takes 10 or 15 minutes, so I recommend running a scan at least once a week. Remember to update (click the "Update" tab) before running a scan!
To quote Wikipedia, social engineering is "the act of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information, rather than by breaking in or using technical hacking techniques." The spam messages you get from a fake "PayPal" or "Your online bank" asking you to visit some random site and enter your credit card and password to confirm your account are a good example of very basic social engineering. Since social engineering is based on sneaky and dirty tricks, it is also the hardest to prevent since there is no real solution other than keeping a watchful eye.
Brute force attacks break passwords by trying different combinations over and over again until it finds the right one. This is why having simple passwords based on dictionary words are bad, since it would be a trivial task to find by brute force.

This week was especially busy at work. Monday, in particular, is a huge blur. My school has merged with another school and has made the workload triple... so tonight, I'm settling in with some General Tso's Chicken, the movie "Couple's Retreat" and a bottle of this:
I've been known to down a bottle myself. It'll take me a couple hours, but I promise, I can make it happen. ;)
You see, this morning, I opened the newspaper, and there I WAS. Front page of section B.... and it's all I've heard about all day. Why was I in the newspaper? Because of said school mergings. The horrible picture that went along with the article is one reason why I'll be drinking wine. Thanks Daily News Record... your picture sucks. Love, Me.
Have a great weekend everyone!!! :)

After airing on NBC for three seasons, Lisa Kudrow brings her genealogy documentary series to TLC. Who Do You Think You Are? premieres tonight on the network. To kick off the fourth season, Kelly Clarkson has been tapped to trace her family tree. The 31-year-old original American Idol discovers that her great great great grandfather, Isaiah Rose, was involved in the Civil War.
Having watched the show, I'm sure her relative was some do-gooder. I would love it one time to have a celebrity discover a shady past. That would be priceless. Other stars participating this season are Christina Applegate, Cindy Crawford, Zooey Deschanel, Chelsea Handler, Trisha Yearwood, Jim Parsons and Chris O'Donnell. Check out a preview of the season premiere below.
As you know, British pop girl group, The Saturdays have a new E! Reality Show called Chasing The Saturdays, documenting their journey into the U.S. as they try to make it in North America.
This week, the group had their first big interview in the United States with none other than the filterless female comedian, Chelsea Handler on Chelsea Lately. "So it's kind of like the Spice Girls, right? A new improved Spice Girls?" Handler joked. "You guys are from Great Britain, so you speak English?" Handler didn't hold back and even joked about sitting on their faces at one point. At another part during the interview, Handler asked Rochelle Humes who is pregnant, "So you're gonna keep it?" OMG.
The girls will perform their new US single 'What About Us' on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on January 14. Check out their interview with Handler below.
Yawn. I think I've seen this before.
Seriously, this movie reminded me of Superbad, except this one was just… Super. Bad.
Entering into the over done genre of "it-all-happened-in-one-night", Fun Size tells the story of Wren who is left to babysit her 8 year old brother on Halloween night and attempts to attend a Halloween party at the same time. Obviously a night of drama ensues.
The only thing i liked about this horrible movie was Chelsea Handler (who I adore). She play's Wren's mom and while her story line is as equally unbelievable as the rest of this movie, her delivery is hilarious. She always manages to get a laugh out of me.
Oh. Em. Gee. Last night's episode of Chelsea Lately was epic. This was the first new episode on their highly anticipated new set on the Universal Lot. The episode opened up with a shower scene with Chelsea Handler getting confronted and bitched out by none other than Sandra Bullock! Given that they were both in the shower, they were also both naked with their lady parts blurred out. Sandra spoke sternly to Chelsea about how she needs to get her sh*t together, not drink so much, and stop sleeping with her guests – she even slaps her in the face…twice! LOL.
In this episode, the panel is made up of Heather McDonald, Loni Love and Ross Mathews. They talk about Sarah Palin's questionable weight loss, the man who jumped from space, Lindsay Lohan endorsing Mitt Romney, Rihanna & Chris Brown and more.
When her good friend Jennifer Aniston came on as the special guest and Handler mentions her engagement to Justin Theroux, Aniston says, "I just got verklempt," fighting back the tears. Handler added, "He's the greatest guy ever and you guys make the greatest couple ever."
Next week, Chelsea Handler will be debuting her new Chelsea Lately set since she's now moved to Studio 1 on the Universal lot. We saw her live this past summer at her old location so we recognize that it's a big change to be moving to Universal. She was on Jay Leno earlier this week, making fun of him and also talking about the big change.
To help celebrate the occasion, her celebrity friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz decided to make a video where they do a rap specifically for Chelsea Handler… You know how Chelsea loves a rapper (ahem… 50 Cent).
The rap is both ridiculous and funny at the same time and they do actually bring up 50 Cent in their rap as well, saying "50 Cent tells us you like it rough!" In addition, they poke fun at her by saying, "We kind of like you because you're blonde like us, but we can't hang out with you in public because you drink too much!" LOL. Watch the video below.
Oh. Em. Gee. Chelsea Handler and a bunch of the comedians from Chelsea Lately just did a parody sketch of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and it's absolutely hilarious.
In the sketch, Chelsea plays Kim Kardashian who, after watching Schindler's List, decides she and her sisters must do something to help save the Jews from the Nazis. In order to save them, every Jew they come across in the scene they hide in the basement. When they question why, Khloe (Fortune Feimster) yells, "Get in the basement!" The funny and loveable Heather McDonald plays their mother, Kris Jenner in the parody.
The sketch makes fun of all the other family members too : Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick, baby Mason (played by Chuy), Bruce Jenner, and even Kanye West. Kanye has to go to the basement because Kim just saw the movie Amistad and is worried about his safety.
'Fun Size' is the next big teen comedy, due out this coming October and the trailer has just been released. The Nickelodeon film stars Victoria Justice, who some believe to now be the next tween breakout star, alongside Jane Levy (Suburgatory) and Chelsea Handler (Chelsea Lately).
Here's the premise of the film. When a troubled but whip-smart teen girl (Justice) loses her oddball little brother on Halloween, she has one desperate night to track him down. It has all the right ingredients for a successful comedy with today's audience: (1) A funny & witty red head: Jane Levy (the Emma Stone or Lindsay Lohan of this film). (2) A funny mom: Chelsea Handler. (3) And some funny one liners: "A smiley face emoticon? That seals the deal, Ren. That is how love works." That being said, it is a Nickelodeon film so it's going to be a bit cheesy & predictable given it's target audience.
Check out the trailer below and share your thoughts on what you think in the comments below. Will you be checking out this film?
After all of the recent movie and music award shows, the next one to look forward to is 64th Primetime Emmy Awards in September. Today, the announcement was made as to who the host would be.
Last year, the hilarious Jane Lynch to the reigns as the show's host for the evening and it was a great success. This year, one of the above Late Night hosts has been identified as the chosen one. Any guesses as to who?
Although he couldn't keep a straight face on SNL, Jimmy Fallon has grown up quite a bit and actually just interviewed Madonna over the weekend. Jimmy Kimmell continues to pump out some amazingly hilarious segments on his show and would be a good choice in my opinion. Chelsea Handler would certainly bring the naughty humor to the show, while Jay Leno is the veteran of the pack and could be a safe bet. Find out below who the actual host this year will be.

There are times when you might not be feeling well and have some medical questions, but you're not sure that those questions are even worth the trip and perhaps money to go to the doctor. There are also times when distance becomes an issue. This is where Dokter Gratis (meaning "free doctors") comes in.
Dokter Gratis is an app for people in Indonesia to get a live consultation with a doctor. I gave the app a try and I was able to text-chat with a doctor after being put on hold for just a bit. The doctor I talked to answered a few basic health questions. There are a few chatroom topics for people to choose from, like general health, diabetes, women's health, and baby's health.
The service so far looks good as a first step before making a decision to go to a hospital. I have confirmed with the team behind it that Dokter Gratis is 100 percent free, this is despite the written explanation on the terms and conditions page that only the first week of use is free.
500 health tips a day from your friendly doctors
There are two teams who helped produce the app. The first is Warung Kreasi which develops the app. Second is Medika Consulting which takes care of the chat function and social media operations. Dokter Gratis is also a partner of Singapore-based medical social platform Blabla Doctor.
At the moment there are 12 general practitioners to respond to all the chats every day. Working in shifts, it's claimed that a doctor has the capacity to handle about 1,000 chats per day. The app has so far been downloaded 130,000 times with around 500 chats happening each day.
Another medical-related app developed for Indonesians is Dokita, which was created by Jakarta Founders Institute graduate Aibilities. There is also a medical website created by a group of Indonesian doctors called TanyaDok. All in all, there are more online health solutions being made available here, which must be good news.
Dokter Gratis is available on iOS, Android, and Blackberry. Or you can also do a live chat via its website here.

Scouting the Canucks
Next: Game 39: Kings 4, Canucks 1 (FINAL)
Previous: Sutter's X-factor? Trevor Lewis
This is the second of four meetings this season between the Kings and the Vancouver Canucks, following Vancouver's 3-2 victory at Staples Center on Nov. 10. Where is the Canucks' weakness? They rank in the top 10 in the NHL in goals per game (third), goals-against per game (seventh), power-play percentage (first) and penalty-kill percentage (seventh). After a wobbly 9-9-1 start through mid-November, the Canucks are now on a 15-3-1 run, and they have scored 13 goals in their last three games. Vancouver is expected to start Roberto Luongo in goal. Luongo has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five starts. For the latest on the Canucks, check out coverage from the Vancouver Province and the Vancouver Sun, followed by tonight's possible lineups for both teams…

"I gave it away because sometimes, little kids get sick," said Nikki Sweitzer, a 4-year-old discussing the decision to have her recently cut hair go to something that would help others.
"I gave it away because sometimes, little kids get sick," said Nikki Sweitzer, a 4-year-old discussing the decision to have her recently cut hair go to something that would help others.
Nikki's mother, Valerie, took her to get it cut on Monday and 10 of the 13 inches were donated to Locks of Love, which is a non-profit that provides hairpieces to disadvantaged children suffering from hair loss due to illness.
"Her hair was pretty long and with long hair comes snarls," Valerie said. "When I would brush her hair I asked her if cutting it would be a good idea and she said that it would."
"I did get my hair cut because my hair was getting longer," Nikki said.
Nikki's Aunt Lydia had donated her hair to Locks of Love before and suggested the idea to Nikki's mom.
"We decided it would be good for Nikki and explained it to her and she thought it would be a good idea," Valerie said. Valerie and her husband Terry, who live in Lanark, decided to go to Great Clips in Freeport to have it done because the salon takes care of sending the hair to the charity.
"We have them fill out paperwork and use 8 to 10 inches of hair," said Ashley Heitz, a senior stylist at Great Clips, who cut Nikki's hair. "She was pretty young for doing that but her hair was very long. She was doing a good thing."
Heitz added that she couldn't recall someone that young donating their hair before.
"I told her that sometimes little kids get sick and lose their hair," Valerie said. "When she heard that, she decided to do it."
Nikki just turned 4 years old in January and her mom said that she has had some split ends cut before but this was Nikki's first real haircut. Nikki now has shoulder length hair.
"It's a big change for her," Valerie said. "People ask her if she likes it shorter and she says that she does. It's a big deal because we had just let it grow and grow."
For more information on donating or requesting hair from Locks of Love call (561) 833-7332 or email email@example.com.

@GovSpy Even if you ultimately decide that it doesn't fit your collection, write it anyways and package it separately. It sounds like you have already decided that it should be told, all you have to do now is decide how to go about it.

@govspy It's not fiction, so not all of the same rules that I follow apply, but in my experience you gotta let the story do what it wants. You can always edit it down later, but during the actual telling, the story is the boss. Don't worry - you've got a great storytelling voice, I doubt anyone's going to care about you taking your time with a story.
Besides, I'm the guy who spent six posts relating an epic tale of roommate hatred - I'm the LAST person to tell you to keep your verbage to a minimum!

Thanks everyone. First bit's up.

@flecky That's Whitechapel for you, on the side of people who are true and arse-kicking the people who just come to be shitheads. We're glad you're making better choices, glad you're fighting to be true instead of making a show, and just glad you're here sharing your side of reality. Chapellians helped me during some of the worst shit of my life and cheered me own when I decided to take charge and choose the things I was supposed to be doing instead of letting the world choose or reject me. You and I aren't the only ones who owe Whitechapel so much of our well being.
@govspy What Alan and Morac said: write the story you have to write, edit later. The only caution I would even consider is don't hide from your stories or let them turn into fictions. They're amazing and compelling because they're true. I don't think you'd be dishonest, you don't seem to have that about you. So it's not even a concern I think you need to have. (I just keep remembered the line from Gaiman's Sandman "Never trust writers, my dear. Writers are liars." You'd have to get philosophical to apply that to non-fiction.)
It's been a mad week. Started off with Halloween and a big Japanese test. I wasn't really ready for Halloween and a little bit (but not as much I would like) prepared for Japanese. So I didn't costume this year. Which is somewhat horrible. There's a good chance this was the first time I ever missed dressing up. Ordinarily I'd worry that this means I'm going numb but the times aren't ordinary around here. I spent October running full tilt between a friend going through hard times, huge events, theatre shows, visiting and subsequently engaged friends, family illness, and oh yeah, trying to represent like a voice actor (hah!), taking an improv class 40 miles away, studying Japanese and attempting to get in 10 hours of community service every week. It didn't work out as planned, but little in life ever does.
Tuesday I did some community service and found out the lady who runs the place was inflating my hours. My accounting has me at eleven hours total. Hers has me at more than twice that. I know she did because she's just being nice to me and rounding up my days. But I know she's also harder on other people. IF she decides she doesn't like your attitude (and sweet baby jesus I cannot begin to guess what she measures by) then your time at the food pantry is going to be a lot tougher. It's the funny thing about retelling the characteristics of a person that I've always had trouble with. I'm surprised by her casual prejudices, her racism and homophobia, her summary judgments... but it's because she can be very sweet and patient and helpful. And I try to explain this to others, that she's a kind and caring person who harbors a propensity for snap judgment that makes her a bigot. And I know that it's not any kind of expectation on me that I should call her on it. I'm not precisely scared that she'll get mad at me if I asked her to knock it off. It's far more that I don't know how to handle this situation - however every time I try to bring it up to someone how to handle it I'm told it's not for me to handle it. Well, I know that telling someone they are being prejudiced doesn't tend to do anything. But that's just it...what does work? Or how can someone be made to see how they've made snap decisions about someone that are a little unfair. It's hard to say totally unfair when she really does work with some of the dredges of society. But.... *sigh*
On Wednesday my sister got married. Um. It was crazy. And it was nice. And I toasted her off the cuff and got misty eyed. And then I had Japanese class. I showed up in most of the stuff I wore to the wedding - no time to change more than my shoes and pants - including hair & makeup. So everyone exclaimed at my appearance. Nice to know I still clean up good.
Since then it's been all about watching my niece, the dog & the cat. And having it reinforced that I don't want kids or pets. Little breathing in my own time and space, and almost nothing for taking care of my own stuff. (Improv class on Thursday night was a welcome respite.) My room and bathroom are a disaster from wedding prep. The idea is to take care of it today. Um... oh dear.
The coming week, hell this month, I try, try, try again to get on top of my life. So tired of fucking saying that and utterly failing. Fucking tired. I really have to get my shit in order and take ownership. Just having a demo doesn't mean squat if I don't shove it into people's ears.
BTW listen here.
And I'm achey from not exercising everyday. And I'm not taking care of my voice. And I don't have a daily regimen for studying. ...And I want money to just fall on me? Ugh. I have to own this shit.

I am so used to being in great pain, and have become so blase about it, so used to straining at every single simple daily activity, that it does not carry forth any weight when I mention it to those around me. People who are used to just used me online and haven't seen me IRL always mention how much more chipper and active I am. That according to my online content, they'd assumed I was falling apart.
But I am.
I've had days where I was on the verge of suicide, sobbing hysterically for hours upon hours.... and then an unexpected social interaction suddenly pops up, and I can suck it up, smile and engage.
My headaches are returning. They are excrutiating.
I keep losing time. Losing important facts. Not recognizing simple things. i can feel my mind slipping away.
My joints hurt so constantly that... just typing as I stand, right now on my laptop propped up at shoulder height, my forearms supported, my shoulders scream at me and i can't bear to type for more than 30 seconds at a stretch.
My ankle gave out last night just from... walking.
I think I have another kidney stone.
If I have to engage socially with others, or go out somewhere, I need to give myself at least 4 hours of prep time. Joints moving, painkillers kicking in, social anxiety, OCD issues with the panic of getting dressed, etc...
But I'm bred to not show pain. This is why I scream myself out in the void of the internet so much. I don't show pain. It's difficult to allow myself to not smile and be pleasant and entertaining. But it's so tiring.
I can't give in to it and just lay down and relax. Because then I'd never ever do anything. I'm always in pain. There's always something wrong, something breaking, something hurting, something fucked. I'm always pushing myself. and then paying for it.
But to others... I seem fine. I say that I hurt, but I still manage to do things. It's .... exhausting and depressing.
Oh wow, I hope this isn't another kidney stone. But day three of the exact same pain in my lower left abdomen... oooog.

@ All: Thanks loads for all your support.I would list everyone yet fear i would probably miss someone.So a big irish viking Northman sweaty hug from me.
Fookin' multitasking here with my mate on phone.Carnage of a torrid inadvertant naive as hell online meeting of minds on a recovery bolox site leading to games of sad lust and jealousy..i would go into the wanky details yet fook i bare my soul to you guys enough as it is.
Have i no pride?A bit..sometimes..does it matter?Emotions are a bitch.If i followed them all the time i swear to fookin' god and me old mate satan this city London would be drenched in vats of coagulated clotted queasy cow blood..
It's 6 a.m in Shepherds Bush.Once again thinking as i tap this mindshite in that some poor sod is probably being turned over by some twisted crackhead junky in the estate over the road from me..
White City..the BBC park..infested with dealers,runners,whores,red faced drunks ranting insanely at each other...

Hello everyone;
I hope everyone was able to handle the very cold winter that we just had, record cold and record snowfall combined with bone chilling wind, what a combination! We handled the weather very well physically but mentally, that was another issue. I really had to push myself to go out and do chores, I know it had to be done but I didn't have to be happy about it! Over the course of this past winter, (which pretty much got a good head of steam going sometime in early November) we were dealt a serious blow as our egg layers essentially shut down. I still have to feed them whether they lay or not, so this put quite a strain on the business. Then to add insult to injury our meat birds last summer really didn't grow like they should have resulting in smaller birds.
So why am I telling you all of this? There is an old saying that goes like this; as one door closes another door opens. Well, the door that opened was for my very patient and wonderful wife DeAnn. She has stood behind me in my farming adventure supporting me and encouraging me. She has been the bookkeeper, the Chelsea Market person (Nick too!) the farm pick up person, my own personal cheerleader, and has given me her all. Now it's my turn to give back to her what she has allowed me to do.
It is with great sadness that I must announce the closing of Back Forty Acres. The door that I spoke of was in the form of a job offer that will take us on a new adventure. DeAnn has been offered and has accepted the Human Resources Manager position at a newly formed University. Sounds cool so far! Did I mention that University is affiliated with another outstanding State run University? I didn't? Oh sorry! So I suppose I didn't mention that this new University is in the sunshine state? Boy, I sure left out a lot of information didn't I? It is called Florida Polytechnic University, (John and Florence I'll send you a t-shirt ;) and right now it is operating under the umbrella of the University of Florida (go Gators!) Sorry Michigan fans. One of DeAnn's major responsibilities will be to guide FPU into a free standing University and out from under the University of Florida which is what she has already accomplished, amongst other great things, at her former job at the Ann Arbor District Library where she helped to separate the Library from the Ann Arbor Public School System and building it into its own distinct entity.
So, she has her work cut out for her and I know she is up for the challenge! She will be leaving soon and I will follow when everything is buttoned up here.
This letter is for information and also as a call to arms in a sense. I still have a few hogs that are not spoken for as of yet so this will be the last time to enjoy Back Forty Acres awesome Tamworth pork as we will not be attending any farmer's markets this year.
The hogs are scheduled to go in the next couple of weeks so they should be back by the first of May, so get the grill ready! If you could help me out with these last few pigs it would be greatly appreciated.
We have greatly enjoyed serving you these past several years and I believe we have bonded with many of you in a way that truly made this a labor of love and that will be one of the biggest things that we will miss. It is sad to think that we will be losing these bonds as our paths go our separate ways. We would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. If you need help finding a new source for quality meat and egg products I will try to assist as best I can.
Thank you all and God Bless……..Kevin

OC Metro Is Relevant for Once, Puts Pioneering Sociologist Jody Agius Vallejo on the Cover
|Congrats, chica!
Only nerds and cool people know about Vallejo's work--so how did she land the cover of OC Metro, a magazine best suited for skimming while waiting for an order at Subway?
Turns out that it was the rag's annual "20 Women to Watch" issue, and they gave much love to Vallejo--another nice picture inside, and a plug for her coming book, Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the Mexican-American Middle Class. They should've given Vallejo a bigger plug than about 100 words, but whatever: for the first time in years, OC Metro became a must-read. Congrats, Jody, and we still gotta get you to lecture over at the Fullerton Public Library one of these days...

Diamondbacks complete sweep of Pirates
Pirates/MLB Videos
The Pirates' clubhouse emptied quickly late Thursday night after a ragged, 11-6 loss in 12 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Starting pitcher Kevin Hart, who got a no-decision in his Pirates debut, slipped out a side door. Reliever Steven Jackson (2-2), who was demoted to Triple-A minutes after yielding five runs in the final inning, refused to speak with reporters.
Right-hander Jose Asconio, who was acquired along with Hart on July 30 via a trade with the Chicago Cubs, will be called up today to take Jackson's spot. Asconio started one game for Indy and took a loss by allowing two runs on six hits in 6.2 innings.
Most of the other players showered, dressed and bolted without saying much. But their sullen mood said enough.
"Kind of a roller-coaster evening for us," manager John Russell said. "We had a chance to put them away and we didn't."
Andrew McCutchen and Lastings Milledge began the 11th with back-to-back singles. But Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young struck out, and Ryan Doumit flew out.
After Young fanned to end the inning, McCutchen slammed his batting helmet on the infield turf.
"I thought we had it," Russell said, glumly. "You're not going to get that (chance) too often."
The Diamondbacks won it by scoring five runs (four earned) on four hits off Jackson in the 12th.
Alex Romero blasted a two-run double. Pitcher Dan Haren pinch-hit for reliever Jon Rauch (2-0) and hit a sacrifice fly to center. Miguel Montero hit an RBI single.
The Pirates blew a pair of one-run leads, fell behind 3-2, then surged ahead with a four-run sixth inning.
But Jeff Karstens gave up two runs, and Jesse Chavez allowed Trent Oeltjen's solo homer in the eighth to tie the game at 6-6.
"It was kind of a tale of two games," Russell said. "Our offense (picked us) up, but our bullpen let us down. (Closer) Matt (Capps) picked us up, but then our offense let us back down again."
It's no surprise the crowd of 17,311 had to sweat out the finish, even after the Pirates built a three-run lead. Over the first seven games of this homestand, the Pirates have been outscored 24-4 from the seventh innning on.
"We're going to have to start getting some people out," Russell said. "We've got to do a better job late in the game."
Hart, who arrived a week ago via a trade with the Chicago Cubs, got a no-decision in his Pirates debut. The right-hander tossed six innings and allowed three runs on nine hits. He walked one and struck out five.
Back-to-back walks to Milledge and Jones put Arizona starter Max Scherzer in a jam in the first inning. With two outs, Young stroked an RBI single to snap an 0-for-11 skid.
Hart got the first two outs easily in the third, then ran into trouble.
Alex Romero singled to left. Gerardo Parra singled to center. Mark Reynolds doubled to left, tying the game.
Parra also tried to score — he beat the throw, but slid past the plate. Doumit, who did a good job blocking the plate with his left leg, took two steps and tagged out Parra.
The Pirates quickly regained the lead. McCutchen walked leading off the third and scored on Milledge's double off the left field wall.
In the fourth, the Pirates missed a chance to pad their lead. With runners at the corners, Hart struck out and Andy LaRoche was caught in an inning-ending rundown.
Arizona tied it 2-2 in the fifth. Augie Ojeda led off with a single and scored on Romero's two-out hit to right.
Reynolds began the sixth with his 33rd homer of the season, a blast into the Pirates' bullpen which sent relievers scurrying for cover.
The Pirates scored four runs in the sixth. Young singled to right field. Brandon Moss walked. A wild pitch advanced both runners.
With one out, Ronny Cedeno slapped a two-run single up the middle. That put the Pirates up, 4-3.
Steve Pearce drove a pinch-hit double to center, scoring Cedeno. Pearce went to third on the throw to the plate, then scored when catcher Miguel Montero threw wildly to third base.
Karstens took over for Hart in the seventh and allowed two runs. Stephen Drew homered to right. Parra singled and eventually came home on a ground out.
