Well, this is one way to tackle the tabloids.
Charlie Sheen took to Twitter Tuesday to post a pic of his "Greatest Dad Award" amid reports claiming his ex-wife Brooke Mueller jeopardized her chances at regaining custody of the former couple's four-year-old twins by leaving Betty Ford Rehab Center.
"On a grant from MIT at 41000' archeologists Pekk&Sheen discover what can only be described as ancient bitchen," the Anger Management star captioned the twitpic (whatever that means).
According to TMZ, Mueller left Betty Ford last week and entered into a new treatment facility in Orange County.
But new reports suggest the judge overseeing the 35-year-old socialite's custody case was not pleased over the treatment transfer, branding Brooke an "unfit mother" who "seriously harmed her chances of regaining custody of the boys anytime soon."
The couple's kids, Bob and Max, are currently in the care of Sheen's second wife, Denise Richards, while their mother is seeking help for prescription drug abuse.
"The boys have spent so much time with Denise that it was the logical choice that she would get temporary custody," a source told E! News after Denise took over caring for the kids. "Charlie is completely supportive of it and wants what's best for the boys...The boys are so happy right now."
After Mueller decided to get help, her rep told E! News, "Brooke misses her children and wants to get healthy so she can resume her life and get back to being a mom."
We wish the entire family all the best.

Dec. 4, 1947 - Parking center to open Friday: Green Bay's parking center, on the former Hurlbut property at the north end of Washington Street, will be opened Friday, it was announced today. Although the service station at the entrance to the property will not be in operation for a couple of weeks, the congestion due to Christmas shopping has become so great that it was decided to open the lot at once. Milton Mikklesen will be the operator.
Through cooperation of 15 Green Bay merchants, shoppers may secure two-hour free parking with a purchase of a dollar or more. Additional time, up to 12 hours, is priced at a small additional sum. The lot has a capacity of 650 cars, and will be floodlighted.
The land was leased by the H.C. Prange Company from the Hurlbut Company several months ago, and the coal firm removed the last of its equipment Nov 1.

Who says you can't eat the foods you love and lose weight? With Devin Alexander's incredibly easy chicken parmesan recipe, you'll consume almost 800 calories less than the traditional dish without sacrificing any of the taste!
Hands-on Time: 12 minutes. Hands-off Time: 6 hours (or overnight) to marinate, 8 to 12 minutes to preheat the oven
Makes 2 servings
- 2 prepared Crouton Breaded Chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup low-fat marinara sauce (low-sodium, if possible)
- 1/2 oz (2 1/2 tbsp) finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (no more than 3g of fat per oz.)
- 1 tsp grated reduced-fat Parmesan cheese (look for it in a plastic container or jar - not in the refrigerated section)
Follow the directions for the Crouton Breaded Chicken, using fat-free Italian or Caesar-seasoned croutons instead of the herb-seasoned ones if you can find them (if you can't, the herb-seasoned ones are a great second choice).
During the last 2 minutes of baking, top each chicken breast with half of the sauce, half of the mozzarella, and half of the parmesan. Bake until the sauce is warm, the cheese is melted, and the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.

|Maternal HLA panel-reactive antibodies in early gestation positively correlate with chronic chorioamnionitis: evidence in support of the chronic nature of maternal anti-fetal rejection.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21951517 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PROBLEM: Maternal tolerance of the fetus is essential for viviparity, yet anti-fetal rejection occurs in several pregnancy complications. Chronic chorioamnionitis is a feature of anti-fetal cellular rejection. There is a robust association between chronic chorioamnionitis and maternal seropositivity for anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) panel-reactive antibodies (PRA) at the time of delivery. This longitudinal study was performed to assess maternal HLA PRA status in early gestation and the temporal evolution of maternal HLA PRA in the context of chronic chorioamnionitis and, thereby, to determine whether HLA PRA during the course of pregnancy is useful for the detection of anti-fetal rejection.
METHOD OF STUDY: Maternal sera obtained before 16 weeks of gestation and at delivery were analyzed for HLA PRA in cases with (N = 100) and without (N = 150) chronic chorioamnionitis.
RESULTS: IgG (but not IgM) HLA class I and II PRA positivity at delivery was higher in cases with chronic chorioamnionitis than in those without chronic chorioamnionitis. IgG HLA class I PRA positivity before 16 weeks of gestation was higher in cases with chronic chorioamnionitis than in those without (30.3 versus 13.3%; P = 0.001). Positive conversion (negative HLA PRA before 16 weeks of gestation but positive at delivery) of IgG HLA class I and II PRA was significantly associated with chronic chorioamnionitis. Fetal HLA class I antigen-specific antibodies were confirmed in 12 of 16 mothers tested who were sensitized to HLA class I antigens before 16 weeks of gestation.
CONCLUSION: Positive maternal HLA PRA before 16 weeks of gestation and the temporal evolution of maternal HLA PRA are associated with the presence of chronic chorioamnionitis at the time of delivery. Maternal IgG HLA PRA has the potential to be a monitoring tool of anti-fetal rejection. Furthermore, the findings herein indicate that subsets of fetuses are exposed to alloimmune HLA antibodies for months, especially in cases with chronic chorioamnionitis.

WoodRiver Clamping System
This clamping system accommodates a useful range of width(s) of edge-glued boards by means of a series of notches into which the clamping hardware can be hooked. These Woodcraft/WoodRiver clamps are superior to a competitor's very similar product because these come with heavy-duty notched plastic "bars" to be fastened to customer-supplied plain two-by-twos. The competitor's product (for the same price) requires the customer to similarly supply the 2x2s, but also to create the notches in the 2x2s (by drilling). Several reviews here refer to issues with glue squeeze-out adhering the edge-glued boards to the 2x2s. I jointed one face of each 2x2 flat and smooth, sealed the face with one coat of polyurethane, sanded it to dull the gloss, and faced the sealed surface with .007" thick TapeCase 423-5 UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) polyethylene self-adhesive tape. Glue does not stick to the tape. To enhance the capacity of the clamps, I also drilled extra sets of holes along overlength 2x2s (repeating the same pilot hole pitch) for mounting the notched bars at various points.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great Clamps - Work Great
Papaw Jim
Chesterfield, IN
I have had these for over a year now and use them to do both cutting boards and panel glue-ups. they work great for what I do! Mounted my hardware on 1 1/2"x1 1/2" poplar. I laminated 1/4" hardboard on the facing side, put on a couple coats of shellac, and always face the clamp with clear packing tape.
The small spreader bars are not large enough to handle much force, but I always add a few extra clamps to help those out. These keep the individual pieces well lined up.
Good gear
Michigan North woodworker
This was an easy tool to assemble. It does the job it advertised. This makes edge joining much easier in my shop. I bought two but may go back for at least another. Good value, too.
Great tool
I have used it many time over several years, it's great. Only thing, use wax paper to protect the clamp where the glue squeezes out.
G's Cutting Boards
Los Alamitos, CA
This one of the best clamping systems I've ever used. It does take a little time to set it up properly, but if it's set up properly it works perfectly. Take the time to study the instructions before you start and then do a DRY clamp up of some practice pieces before you get the glue out. This system will cause your work piece to be elevated about 3" above your table during the gluing and clamping stages, but once the clamps are set and tightened you can move it anywhere while the glue sets.
Gotta work quickly to get all the pieces aligned before the glue sets. (I'm making 18" x 20" butcher block style cutting boards, and they each have 23 3/4" wide slats).
I agree with those that say to use tape or something to protect the fixture (and frame boards) from the squeeze-out glue.
I used Douglas Fir 2 x 2's and drilled pilot holes for the screws. A little Bee's Wax and Mineral Oil mixture on the screw threads makes them install easily.
It WAS a little cumbersome to use the first time, but only the first time. Learn from your experience(s) on PRACTICE pieces first! This is a MUST or you're just going to waste a bunch of wood and rip your hair out with glue on your hands. This is a "Must Have" item for any wood shop.
Very good

Humble, TX
the plate that attaches to the screw is flimsy, but it does not affect the operation of the clamp. I bought 3 so I could edge glue long boards together
Nice system
Brewton, AL
Definitely takes a bit of time to get use to, but I can set up the clamps pretty quickly now by my self. I haven't had problems getting straight 2x2s. Use the same methods you'd use to true up any other kind of board and you're there. One tip, use painters tape on the face of the clamp boards or squeeze-out will glue your project to the clamps.
Nice for SOME things - not for others
Cleveland, OH
..using this to clamp 3-6 6" wide boards that have glue joints.
Works pretty well really, but does not replace bar clamps. These are great if you are gluing rows of but-jointed planks that are prone to buckle, but they tell you to use a 2x4 ripped in half for the runners - I would use a whole 2x4, as the resulting 2x2 still pulls up abit. Or perhaps reinforce the 2x2 with angle iron.
Anyway useful little jig.
Not the be-all end-all though, as I hoped it would be.
Works Great

---- This is about a guy I dated, ( I swing both ways)---------
Did I love you?
When you wrapped me in warmth.
You knew so well.
But I hardly knew you.
Was it like hell?
I wouldn't look at you?
I kept my distance?
I hid me face?
I did kiss you back?
Did I love you?
I remember when we tried to kiss.
In the *bathroom*,
Leaning into me slowly.
Oh god I missed!
You laughed and hugged me.
You said we try again.
Because of you my knife I set free.
Were you In pain?
When I couldn't take serious relationships?
And I left you.... Twice?
Did YOU love me?
I cant even tell.
You knew me before I even knew your name.
You helped me when I fell.
To you was it a game?
You couldn't keep a smile from my face.
I cant remember, what a shame.
Maybe I will look at the notes.
I keep tucked in my dresser.
*** Yes got cornered fixing my hair in the mirror >_< Man It was a shocker!***

Companies thriving in water
Companies in Western Pennsylvania that focus on water treatment and use, delivery and transportation are growing by as much as 10 percent a year, and there is potential for much more, a new study says.
The region would benefit by forging a consortium that encourages innovation in the business of water and collaboration among established companies such as Calgon Carbon Corp. and Siemens Water Technologies, newer players such as Epiphany Solar Water Systems of New Castle and universities that develop technology, plus financing sources and policy leaders.
"We have companies willing to come together and collaborate," said Jerry Paytas, an economic development expert and vice president with Fourth Economy Consulting, South Side, which authored the study. "They need something to gather around."
The region has more than 3,000 companies involved in a major way with water, according to the "H2Opportunity" report to be released today at an event at Alcoa Inc.'s North Shore offices. Those companies employ 34,000 people and account for more than $5 billion in spending each year.
Pittsburgh was North America's host city for World Environment Day last year, and the study -- the first analysis of the business of water in the region -- was commissioned by corporations and foundations that formed a partnership through the event.
Although its rivers play a big role in the city's identify, Pittsburgh's water-related businesses usually are looked at in terms of their industries -- such as power generation or water purification, Paytas said.
But with a coordinated effort, companies in different areas might partner on a new wastewater treatment method or work with Carnegie Mellon University to recruit more companies to the water-rich region.
"Water is a renewable resource in a way that few other things are," said Jeanne M. VanBriesen, director of CMU's Center for Water Quality in Urban Environmental Systems.
Water treatment represents about 50 percent of Calgon Carbon's business, through technology such as activated carbon treatment that is used at Pennsylvania American Water Co. and other local systems' plants.
The company has about 300 local employees and has been adding technical staff, particularly at its Robinson headquarters and research center and at a manufacturing center for ultraviolet treatment systems in Findlay, said Bob O'Brien, executive vice president.
"That is a big, growing market for us," said O'Brien. Ultraviolet treatment eliminates organisms such as cryptosporidium that typical water treatment processes have trouble killing, he said, adding tougher regulations are pushing water utilities to modernize equipment.
Organisms and chemicals in drinking water aren't the only concern. Calgon Carbon acquired a Cleveland-based company last year that developed an ultraviolet treatment for ballast water -- the water that a ship takes on, and that can transport invasive species from port to port.
Zebra mussels that now cause environmental hazards in the Great Lakes are believed to have arrived by ship. "That's becoming recognized as a global issue," O'Brien said, with the International Maritime Organization taking steps to create a standard for shippers.
Ballast water systems are made at the Findlay plant. The company's two Neville Island plants product activated carbon systems, and recycle the granular carbon that they use.
"Water is going to become a critical commodity, with population growth," O'Brien said. "It's an area that is going to continue to require new technology that's low-cost and energy efficient," and companies and regions involved will benefit through sales and job growth.
The H2Opportunity study points out some businesses that are projected to grow rapidly. Desalination of saltwater could generate $16.6 billion in sales in five years, up from $8.3 billion now. Wastewater treatment could grow to $71 billion, from $58 billion.
Milwaukee is the only other region that has worked to build a competitive advantage around water, and Pittsburgh leaders will study that city's progress, said Court Gould, director of Sustainable Pittsburgh.
Carnegie Mellon University scientists, meanwhile, will come up with pilot projects for companies to get the Western Pennsylvania effort started. One possibility: Create water monitoring and management methods that allow environmentally sound drilling of Marcellus shale gas wells.Additional Information:
Water is big business
Numbers of companies that sell water-related services or technology, and have a headquarters or significant presence in Western Pennsylvania:
• Components, 416 companies, 5,400 employees, $1.02 billion in sales in 2009.
• Services, 2,456 companies, 25,756 employees, $509 million in sales.
• Supply and treatment, 173 companies, 2,875 employees, $3.44 billion in sales.
• Transportation, 20 companies, 662 employees, $32 million in sales.
Some major companies and their products:
• Aquatech -- water purification, focus on desalination.
• Calgon Carbon -- activated carbon treatment and ultraviolet light disinfection.
• Eaton -- pumps, motors and valves for wastewater treatment.
• Lanxess -- ion exchange, membrane technology, other treatment systems.
• Siemens Water Technologies -- emergency water supply, wastewater reuse systems.
• Veolia North American Water -- water and wastewater services.

|JDR could be the next Broncos defensive coordinator. (Getty Images)
With Dennis Allen now headed to Oakland as the next head coach of the Raiders, the Broncos now need to fill a big void at defensive coordinator. According to one report, Jack Del Rio could be the guy to take over for Allen in Denver.
Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network cites sources on Wednesday who believe that Del Rio has "emerged as a possible replacement" for Allen after he departs for the Raiders.
Del Rio was axed from Jacksonville in late November and since then's been ripped by former players, been basically called "not as good as Tom Coughlin" by his former owner, and he was reportedly mentioned as a candidate for the Chiefs job.
Defense is JDR's calling card (along with lumberjacking and leather jackets) and the Broncos could particularly make sense given the success he had in 2002 as John Fox's defensive coordinator with the Panthers. That year the Panthers finished first in yards per rushing attempt allowed, second in total yards allowed, fifth in points allowed and seventh in takeaways in the NFL.
Del Rio parlayed that success, along with his work as the Ravens linebackers coach before that, into becoming the replacement for Coughlin in Jacksonville. He only compiled a 68-71 record over nine years, but his defenses were typically stout. 2010 and 2011 were the exception, not the rule.

Garden Q&A: 'Stepables' designed for walkway
Q : I have a walkway that is too dangerous to mow. What plants would you suggest for planting around stepping stones? The stepping stones are secure, but the weeds and long grass are unsightly. Your ideas would be appreciated.
A: To fill in the cracks between stepping stones or pavers, you'll want to select plants that are tough, low-growing and have a rapid growth rate. Thankfully, there are many plants that suit your needs.
In fact, there is an entire line of plants called "Stepables" that were selected based on their ability to handle foot traffic and remain compact. You can start your search for appropriate plants by heading to any local nursery that carries the "Stepables" line of plants. You also can peruse the offerings at www.stepables.com.
After getting rid of any existing weeds, I would suggest mixing three or more plant species to provide some diversity and insurance if one of them fails to fill your needs. Blending several plants together also adds texture and interest to the walkway. Here are a few of my favorites.
• Wooly thyme and elfin thyme are both great choices. They release a lovely herbal fragrance when stepped on and are extremely tolerant of foot traffic. They hold up well in drought and require very little care. They spread fairly quickly and produce pink and purple flowers in early summer.
• Mazus reptans is an inch-high ground cover that bears small white or purple flowers that are shaped much like a duck's foot. The foliage creeps along quickly and does an excellent job of drowning out weeds. The only negative of this wonderful little plant is its intolerance of salt, so if you plan to use salt in the winter to melt the ice on your stepping stones, this plant is not the best choice.
• Kenilworth ivy is another sweet selection. Reaching only 2 inches in height, this plant spreads by forming tiny, above-ground runners that reach out from the mother plant and fill in gaps fairly quickly. Miniature selections bear half-inch-wide, rounded leaves and little purple flowers throughout the summer. Kenilworth ivy does best in partial to full shade.
• And lastly, any of the miniature sedums will do quite nicely. There are dozens of them on the market, and it's a good bet that your favorite local nursery will have a few to pick from.

If you want to make an unusual chili this is the recipe for you. A combination of beans, chicken, lime and lime zest, corn and a spicy kick have taken a prize at two chili contests... so go ahead and give it a try!
In a large heavy soup pot add the chicken stock and smoked ham hocks. Simmer until the hocks are tender and meat falls off. Remove meat from bones and put back in the stock.
Add all the other ingredients and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
When serving the chili, top with cilantro, sour cream and cheese.
You can omit the smoked ham hocks which will cut down on cooking time and just cook the chicken, add the chicken stock and then all all the other ingredients and cook for 1-1/2 hours.

This is outstanding chili if you are looking for something different. Get a flavor of the Islands with this one! This chili has won two chili contests! I am guessing they liked it... I hope you will too!
This chili, depending on how big the portion size is, can easily feed 15-20. Sorry I did not post the servings on the recipe.
How many does this serve???

From Sabbath to Sunday (Paperback)
Product Description
"'From Sabbath to Sunday' is a translation and an adaptation of my Italian doctoral dissertation, originally presented at and published by the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1977.
The investigation establishes that the change from Saturday to Sunday began approximately one century after the death of Christ, as a result of an interplay of political, social, pagan and Christian factors. The change in the day of rest and worship was not merely a change of names or of numbers, but rather a change of meaning, authority and experience. Essentially it was a change from a Holy Day into a holiday. ...
"'From Sabbath to Sunday' has the distinction of being the first book written by a non-Catholic ever to be published by a Pontifical press with the Catholic imprimatur (approval). The book has already been reprinted fourteen times in English and has been translated in several other languages. Hundreds of scholars of different persuasions have praised this book as a definitive treatment of the early history of the Lords Day. I received a gold medal from Pope Paul VI for earning the academic distinction of summa cum laude in my research and school work at the Pontifical Gregorian University, in Rome, Italy." - Samuele Bacchiocchi, Author
Product Details
•Paperback: 372 pages
•Publisher: Biblical Perspectives (March 30, 2000)

After months of stalking and being inspired by the Loopville posts on FB, I decided it was time to come out of the shadows and do another blog (although I gather that they are now called Bloops).
My personal background, I live on the Illinois side of St. Louis with my husband and two kids, ages 10 and 7. My kids are involved in gymnastics, soccer and summer swim team. Kids activities and volunteering at their schools takes up a lot of my time. I also have two dogs, a 3 year old lab/hound mix and a 7 month old dalmatian, who I'm hoping will be a great running buddy in a few more months.
My running background, I started running as an adult with the intention to do a marathon 9 months later. Did that, not sure how successfully as my time and training were questionable. I did a second marathon in 12/2009, where my training was better but still fell off at the end as I lost motivation (and time). When I logged into RW just now, it showed me that my last blog was in April 2010. Since then my running was pretty sporadic. I'd do really well for weeks or even a couple months and then get sidetracked by life.
This past spring I got a Reduction in Force notice (laid off in teacher terms). Basically someone in my department will be retiring at the end of this school year at which time I'm guaranteed my position back, so I am calling this year my sabbatical, ha. What that means is, I have time to make myself run on a regular basis!!
A few weeks ago I ran a 5K and PR'ed. I was thrilled with that because it was a hilly course and I'd only been doing track workouts for two weeks leading up to it.
Upcoming races:5K this weekend, where I'm hoping to PR again.
A winter race series that is 8 races ranging from 12K-Half marathon distance.
GO! St Louis marathon in April.
For about the last month I am doing track workouts, tempo runs and cross training and starting to see some improvement.
Future posts will have a little more focus, but I figured this one would just be re-introducing myself.
Hi, and good luck with the 5k!
Welcome back. Good luck with that next 5k!
Welcome back! Weather should be perfect your way for a PR this weekend.
I wasn't even running in 2010, so I feel weird saying welcome back....so I'll go with a Hello.
good luck! glad you're back, enjoy the 5k this weekend!!
This is good. Restores some balance to the Loop. Too many young, new whipper-snappers around here lately.
Attitude is everything
Welcome back and congrat's on the PR!
