Nearly three weeks after a glitzy debut, designer goods like the Oscar de la Renta dog dish ($29.99) and the Jason Wu Christmas ornaments ($49.99) remain on the shelves at Target.
Unlike the frenzy ignited by other high-fashion collaborations, shoppers seem to have mostly shrugged at Target Corp.'s splashy partnership with 24 noted designers and luxury retailer Neiman Marcus.
"I guess I was looking forward to a much cooler offering from these designers," said Maivneng Yang, a senior fashion student at the University of Minnesota who was excited by Target's previous collaborations, but not so much this one.
"I never found that 'gotta-have' item," she said, adding that some of the items seemed "underdesigned and/or overpriced."
Before the collection went on sale Dec. 1, the pre-launch buzz led Minneapolis-based Target to expect another frenzy. Earlier in 2012, Target unveiled a designer partnership with Missoni so wildly popular it took down the Target website. Then came a Jason Wu collaboration that also was a smash.
Last month, CEO Gregg Steinhafel was asked if the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection would last longer than a day and a half.
"We think it's going to be successful across the board," he told analysts. "It's just a matter of how you want to gauge success, is it hours, or days, or possibly a week -- which might be a stretch."
Target ramped up the inventory. It limited shoppers on how many designer items they could buy.
But 19 days into the event, the still well-stocked shelves tell a different story. Hoping to boost sales, Target has relocated the designer items nearer its stores' front doors.
"We can't discuss sales specifically," Target spokeswoman Jessica Carlson said Wednesday, Dec. 19. "We have had millions of guests shopping the collection, and we really do feel that it played an important role in differentiating Target during the holiday season."
Carlson added that Target "doubled our inventory for this collection, compared to what we had for Missoni, to make sure we had enough inventory to make it through the holiday."
Retail industry observers see it a bit differently.
"The selection of merchandise confused me," said Jim McComb, a Twin Cities retail analyst of the 50 assorted items from the Diane von Furstenberg yoga mat to the de la Renta dog bowl.
"The things they were offering were not the kinds that are going to fly off the shelf, and I don't think they designed the line to do that," McComb said. "It was going to be around a longer period of time than the Missoni collection."
After the holidays, McComb suspects, Target will do what retailers often do with unsold goods: mark them down and move on.
"Buying and merchandising is always a risk," McComb said. "You win some and you lose some -- you're always trying to catch what the consumer will find intriguing, and often, businesses will miss on that."
Retail analyst Carol Spieckerman said launching the event during the holiday shopping season was "higher risk" because of the intense competition for attention. Still, she sees the event as a win for Target.
"It depends on how you define success," she added. "Of course, you want to sell product, but it also creates impressions, driving traffic to the stores, creating more brand impressions ... there's a lot of things that you really can't measure, but offers a nice halo effect going forward."
Meanwhile, come the January markdown, Yang, the fashion student at the U, may yet be tempted by certain items in collection, like the rag & bone shot glasses.
"I'm fashion-conscious and also like budget-friendly items," she said.

There is a high school dropout epidemic in America. Each year, almost one third of all public high school students – and nearly one half of all Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans – fail to graduate from public high school with their class.
Dropouts are much more likely than their peers who graduate to be unemployed, living in poverty, receiving public assistance, in prison, on death row, unhealthy, divorced and single parents with children who drop out from high school themselves.
Nearly half of high school dropouts say that classes were not interesting. Most said they weren't motivated or inspired to work hard. More and more educators are realizing the importance of motivation in order for learning to take place.

Twitter has announced the launch of Twitter Alerts, which it describes as a way of broadcasting critical information from emergency reporting organizations.
"Today, we're launching Twitter Alerts, a new feature that brings us one step closer to helping users get important and accurate information from credible organizations during emergencies, natural disasters or moments when other communications services aren't accessible," the company announced in a blog post. "Twitter Alerts is a new way to get accurate and important information when you need it most."
A Twitter message that is tagged as an alert from an alerting organization will appear on subscriber handsets in a variety of forms. Twitter said that users should expect an SMS message, and, if they have its app on a mobile device, a push notification that alerts them to the content. Alerts are highlighted in the Twitter feed with an orange bell icon.
Twitter partner manager for government and politics Bridget Coyne said that a number of organizations have lined up to be part of the Twitter Alerts system, and that these include the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"Social media has revolutionized communication during disasters," said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. "Today we have a two-way street – residents are informed about hazards in real time and emergency managers receive immediate feedback on the consequences of a disaster. Twitter Alerts provide an opportunity to get information directly from trusted sources."
Coyne said that it is up to user organization to define what they consider to be worthy of an alert, but recommended that they are used to warn about "imminent dangers," "preventive instructions," "evacuation directions," and "crowd and misinformation management."
Organizations in the U.S., Japan, and Korea can send alerts. A list of participating organizations includes the American Red Cross.

My dog doesn't like baths so I wanted something for in between; this sounded like just the thing, but it wasn't it. You can't even smell the essential oils, which tells me there isn't much in there. It smells like vinegar and made the dog sneeze and cough. I don't intend to use it on him again but added some cedarwood essential oil and will use it for bug repellent!

Book Discussion on When General Grant Expelled the Jews
Jonathan Sarna recounts General Ulysses S. Grant's order to expel the Jewish population in his commanding territory on December 17,… read more
Jonathan Sarna recounts General Ulysses S. Grant's order to expel the Jewish population in his commanding territory on December 17, 1862. The order, quickly revoked by President Abraham Lincoln, would trouble Grant in the years following the Civil War and into his 1869 presidential campaign. Mr. Sarna recalls the initial reaction of the approximately 150,000 Jews who then lived in the United States and Grant's later apology and appointment of several Jews to positions in his administration. Professor Sarna responded to questions from members of the audience at the New-York Historical Society in New York City.
This lecture was part of the series "The Civil War: 150 Years," a program of the New-York Historical Society Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series. close

Strictly speaking residential care is for frail older people whose needs are low – people who do not require nursing care or specialist care for people living with dementia, for example, but who might need help with washing, dressing and other daily living activities. Confusingly, however, many organisations will use 'residential care' to describe homes offering most services such as nursing care or specialised care for younger adults.
The activity programmes provided by our care teams are tailored to meet people who need residential care's needs and capabilities – and to be thoroughly enjoyed! These include gardening, baking, outings, gentle exercise, pet care and life-skills work. Other specialist activities such as reminiscence therapy, music therapy and complimentary therapies are also a part of our activities programmes

Here's a sketch I did a few months ago that I never scanned in. It's a sketch of an authentically restored full sized ship of the boat made famous by the Boston Tea party of 1773. The ships actually much smaller than I had imagined.
This tourist spot allows people to board the board and experience throwing in wooden crate boxes into the sea. The boxes are made out of something light so they float and then the staff members would pull it back onto the boat for the next set of people to push it off.
I didn't board the ship but had fun sketching this and watching the people on this beautiful day.

Fans don't have to worry about Matt Smith quitting his role as the iconic Doctor Who anytime soon after the actor revealed that he wants to play the role forever.
Following the release of the trailer for the new series, the actor, who can be seen carrying his companion Amy Pond's lifeless body in the latest picture from the series, told TV magazine: "I'd like to stay in the show forever. For another 50 years. I love making it."
Gushing about the new series which will see Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill both exit the show, Matt said: "I think we've got one of our strongest seasons yet coming up now, I really do."
Whilst Matt might be happy playing Doctor Who, he won't be taking the role to the big screen after writer Steven Moffat dismissed the claims that a Doctor Who movie was in the making.
"The BBC own Doctor Who and, for the moment, I run it for them. So I can assure you definitively that was all nonsense - not the idea of making a film, we'd love to make a film, but the idea of a rebooted continuity, a different Doctor", he told Entertainment Weekly.
Check out the trailer and tell us what you think?

We seem to be in the midst of a national obsession with obesity. Our latest Freakonomics Radio on Marketplace podcast is about some of the surprising contributors, and possible economic solutions, to the problem. (Download/subscribe at iTunes, get the RSS feed, listen via the media player above, or read the transcript.)
One suspected contributor to obesity, for instance, is the drastic decline in smoking in recent years. It's great news that fewer people smoke but, according to Vanderbilt economist Kip Viscusi, people who quit smoking tend to gain weight.
Christopher Ruhm, an economist at the University of Virginia, has studied a different weight-related tradeoff:
RUHM: What we've learned over the last decade or so is an initially surprising fact that when times are bad, people get healthier over many dimensions and one of those appears to be obesity. So that for example, if my income is down, I don't go out to eat as often, and meals eaten out of the home are probably less healthy and more caloric.
So what's the overall relationship between the Great Recession and weight gain? The CDC recently released data indicating that obesity rates had leveled off in the last few years, but it's too early to tell. Furthermore, Dhaval Dave, an economist at Bentley University, has found evidence on exercise and eating habits during economic downturns that could conflict with Ruhm's finding.
Obesity plainly has many contributing factors and no single solution. At least part of the problem, though, boils down to basic economics: high-caloric food tends to be really cheap (and delicious!). So we talk with Kai Ryssdal about some of the possible ways to trim our collective waistline, from a food-subsidy overhaul to so-called "fat taxes."
Here's where you can listen to Marketplace on a station near you.
Audio Transcript
Kai Ryssdal: Time now for a little Freakonomics radio. It's that moment every two weeks where we talk with Stephen Dubner, the co-author of the books and blog of the same name, it is about the hidden side of everything. Dubner, you know what -- I'm especially glad to have you back this week. You know why?
Stephen Dubner: I know why.
Ryssdal: You do. You sent me something. I love it when you send me something.
Dubner: What can I tell you, I am benevolent fella. Go ahead, Kai, open up your little package.
Ryssdal: All right, here we go. It's a little bubble-wrapped envelope, with an envelope inside. Very careful. OK. So it's a pack of Marlboros. And I don't smoke, dude.
Dubner: Believe it or not, I'm trying to help you stay trim. I want you to listen to Kip Viscusi, who's an economist at Vanderbilt who studies smoking.
Ryssdal: All right.
Kip Viscusi: Well one thing is that if you give up smoking, you'll gain some weight. May not be enough to make you morbidly obese, but it'll make you a little heavier.
Ryssdal: So here's the hidden side, right? It's the unintended consequences of quitting smoking.
Dubner: You're learning, my friend.
Ryssdal: How long have we been doing this segment?
Dubner: Couple years, but you're getting there. So our smoking rate in this country has been falling dramatically, which is fantastic news, but there's a hidden side to that -- as if with everything. Now, I'm not saying that smoking is a good way to fight weight gain -- let me be clear: it is not, and smoking is bad for you. But this is an instructive lesson about trade-offs, because I want to talk today about another weight-related trade-off, having to do with the economy. So Kai, let me ask you this question: What do you think the Great Recession has done to our collective waistline?
Ryssdal: Well, I'm going to go with my gut: It's a bad thing, right, because people are going to McDonald's for the dollar menu and all that stuff, and thus we're getting fatter.
Dubner: That is a fantastic guess. And you may be right this time.
Ryssdal: But some wrong.
Dubner: Usually you are, but some research suggests that you may be right. But other research suggests the opposite. Let me play the opposite. Here's Christopher Ruhm, who's an economist at the University of Virginia.
Christopher Ruhm: What we've learned over the last decade or so is an initially surprising fact that when times are bad, people get healthier over many dimensions and one of those appears to be obesity. So that for example, if my income is down, I don't go out to eat as often, and meals eaten out of the home are probably less healthy and more caloric.
Ryssdal: All right, makes sense on its face but I'm still not convinced.
Dubner: Here's the thing: Obesity is one of those problems that has a lot of different causes, not all of them obvious. But you were right to focus on the relationship between dollars and calories. That's incredibly important to consider. I mean, think about this: For the vast majority of human civilization, it was a big struggle to provide enough affordable calories for everyone. But over the past few generations, we've gotten very, very good -- particularly rich nations like ours -- at making calories abundant and delicious and cheap. The markets have given us exactly what we wanted, and now we're dealing with a side effect.
Ryssdal: Well are you saying then that we should intervene in the markets and make those calories more expensive?
Dubner: Well, I'm not a big intervener kind of guy, but that's the right question to ask. Let's go back to your cigarettes that I sent you, and talk about how incentives work. That pack I sent you cost -- believe it or not -- $12 here in New York, and about half of that was taxes. Now, economists generally agree that cigarette taxes have helped drive down smoking; so if you raise the price of cigarettes a little bit, consumption falls. And that is why, if you want to talk about obesity, some people like the idea of a "fat tax," which is a tax on fat foods, not fat people, by the way. They've tried this in Denmark and Hungary, and there's some talk of trying it here.
Ryssdal: Yeah, but that's never going to fly, right?
Dubner: It is a classic regressive tax, it would harder on low-income people than higher-income people, which makes it tough. Another tough sell is to change the food subsidies coming out of Washington. So there's billions of subsidy dollars that now go to corn, wheat and soy -- none of which are bad in and of themselves, but products of those get turned into very, very, very cheap additives in junk food. So one argument is we should shift those subsidies toward fruits and vegetables, so it's cheaper to eat healthier.
Ryssdal: Which makes sense. So do me a favor next time if you send me something?
Dubner: Yeah?
Ryssdal: Make it fruits or vegetables or, um, beer would actually be good too. You could send more beer.
Dubner: Light beer.
Ryssdal: No, no, not light beer. But that's a whole other segment. Stephen Dubner,Freakonomics.com is the website. He's back in a couple of weeks. See ya.
Dubner: My pleasure, thank you.

Father and son shine in North Devon Table Tennis League
Posted: January 24, 2013|
THE FATHER and son Taylor team from Torrington A remain on course to complete the North Devon League season unbeaten.
Dad Kevin and his boy Ben had maximums again as Torrington beat under-strength Holsworthy A.
It was a 12th win out of 12 for Torrington at the top of the first division.
Holsworthy, third from bottom, must keep an eye on Castle Knights and Balls of Fury who are both scoring points.
The bottom two met in a close game, with six of the sets going to the distance.
Wim Faassen secured the win with a treble for Fury, for whom Marcus Berry, newly arrived from Bristol, made his debut and won a useful two points.
There was nothing between Misfits and Smugglers who are battling for the runners-up spot and drew 5-5.
Mathew Thomas's treble was countered by a good team performance from Misfits.
Top played bottom in the second division with Hopefuls running out easy 9-1 winners over Torrington B and regaining first place from Hartland.
Hartland's recent run of form was halted by a 5-5 draw with Herons.
Alan Briggs won all three but it was not enough to stop Herons being held to a draw for the fourth time in this campaign.
Rod Thomas scored his first triple in four seasons as Mad Batters won 7-3 against Littleham.
Holsworthy B were a player short and Dolphins took advantage, winning 7-3, although Gerard O'Boyle scored two for Holsworthy in only his second game of the season.

Make an Easy, Tactile Baby Toy from a Wipes Container
Yesterday was a very, very cold day. It was -44 C with the windchill, Little C's playschool was cancelled, and we were stuck inside (unless we wanted to lose all of our appendages outside)!
I had seen this wonderful idea on Pinterest (from Spotted Pony's blog) to upcycle a large wipes container into a simple baby toy. I thought it was such a fantastic way to reuse an old container and to introduce some tactile play to my 14 month old. Babies have so much fun experiencing new colours and textures. It's also a neat way to introduce problem solving ("how do I get this stuff in and out of this box"?).
- old, large wipes container
- fabric scraps (look for lots of different textures and colours and, if you desire, find a fabric scrap large enough to decoupage to the sides of the container)
- Mod Podge
If you want to decoupage the container, cut out a strip of fabric that is as tall and about 2″ longer than the circumference of the wipes container.
Put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the sides of the container, stick the fabric to it, and then add another thin layer on top of the fabric. Make sure all of the edges are pasted down and sealed.
Cut squares out of your different fabric scraps (I used pinking shears so that the edges wouldn't fray as easily). I cut out different, random sizes.
Stuff the squares into the container. You could also put other sorts of baby-friendly items in the container for Baby to discover (like toys, teethers etc.).
Watch your baby play! Show her how to take the fabric pieces out of the box and how to put them back in. Rub her hands over the fabrics and introduce texture words to her like "shiny", "soft" and "rough".
Baby A loved playing with her little toy! It cost me no money to make, and it was a great way to spend some of our "inside time" today.

Some of you may know that I am a big fan of live theatre, and I have long wanted to see some sort of mature and realistic treatment of roleplayers in the arts. Recently, a fellow named Alfred posted on the Escapist's Facebook Page about a play called Of Dice and Men that is looking for funding:
"The world of six thirty-something Dungeons and Dragons players is thrown into disarray when one of them announces he has enlisted in the Marine Reserves, and will soon be deployed Iraq. In this blisteringly funny and deeply affecting play, playwright Cameron McNary examines why we game, what it means to grow up, and what true friendship looks like."
The playwright's story on his inspiration for writing the play is worth reading. You can read more about the play, and possibly make a pledge to help make it happen, on its Kickstarter page.
While I'm on the subject of fan-funded art, my good friend (and author of God Loves the Freaks) Steve Racer is producing a unique film titled Broken Spirits that will feature live-action performances by several anime voice talents:
Broken Spirits is a sci-fi/action independent feature film about four young people who are pulled into an alternate dimension within our world and must fight their way back.
If you would like to help fund this project, visit their pledge page at www.indiegogo.com/Broken-Spirits-movie

Treeline dynamics in response to climate change in the Min Mountains, southwestern China

Botanical Studies 2013, 54:15 doi:10.1186/1999-3110-54-15Published: 22 August 2013
Abies faxoniana is the dominant plant species of the forest ecosystem on the eastern edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the treeline is strongly defined by climate. The tree-ring chronologies and age structure of Abies faxoniana were developed in the treeline ecotones on the northwestern and southeastern aspects of the Min Mountains in the Wanglang Nature Reserve to examine the treeline dynamics of recent decades in response to climate change.
On the northwestern aspect, correlation analysis showed that the radial growth was significantly and positively correlated with precipitation in current January and monthly mean temperature in current April, but significantly and negatively correlated with monthly mean temperature in previous August. On the southeastern aspect, the radial growth was significantly negatively correlated with monthly mean temperature in previous July and August.
The different responses of radial growth to climatic variability on both the aspects might be mainly due to the micro-environmental conditions. The recruitment benefited from the warm temperature in current April, July and September on the northwestern aspect. The responses of radial growth and recruitment to climatic variability were similar on the northwestern slope. Recruitment was greatly restricted by competition with dense bamboos on the southeastern aspect.

Watch Sean Connery Explain Cryo-Sleep To The Most Obnoxious Kid Ever
Sean Connery brings a certain resigned, sad dignity to his performance as a broken man on the frontier in 1981's Outland. Except in this scene, where he has to talk to his son, the most annoying kid we've seen in ages, and explain the concept of cryogenic suspension. »

Guess Who Just Made The Swarovski Collective Spring '14 Hot List?
The Swarovski Collective was established in 1999 by Nadia Swarovksi with the aim of supporting rising and established designers in experimenting with the use of crystals in their own designs, plus offering financial support for a runway show and unlimited use of the brand's crystals. As Nadia Swarovksi explains, "Swarovski is delighted to be working with some of the most exceptional emerging and established talents this season. Our collaborations result in extraordinary experimentation within the fashion world and we are excited to see how each designer will use their artistry to explore the infinite creative potential of Swarovski crystal."
Swarovski isn't lying when she mentions the "infinite creative potential" of crystal. The brand's signature shiny cut rhinestones are just a tip of the iceberg in terms of the crystals the brand produces each year. As Michael van der Ham says to British Vogue, "Swarovski crystal is an amazing element to have within the embellishments this season, mixed with other couture embroideries for a set of cocktail dresses. The Swarovski crystal collection is of such a high standard and is so vast that it really lifts the textures and the garments themselves." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Roll on Fashion Week, we can't wait to see you in all your shimmering glory. (Vogue)

16 Oct 2001Virus News
The latest Trojan program goes after WebMoney purses.
Kaspersky Lab, an international data-security software developer, announces the detection of the new Trojan, "KWM," which allows malefactors imperceptibly to control infected computers and gain access to the personal payment accounts of WebMoney users.
The method by which "KWM" penetrates a computer is rather complicated: firstly, a user, having been drawn to an interesting description, must upload the file-carrying Trojan program (or, "dropper") from a Web site and execute it. At the moment, two versions of the "dropper" have been detected after having been spread on many public Web sites in the following files: PHOTO.SCR (66K6) and Sponsors_pay_WM.EXE (70 K6) (file names could change).
Upon start-up, the dropper does in fact display a photo of an unknown woman and "contract-for-service" conditions. Simultaneously from a remote Web site, unbeknownst to a user, the Trojan program itself is downloaded and installed to a computer. This allows malefactors to run any file operation (start-up, deleting, Internet transfer etc.) and obtain personal information and passwords.
It is particularly important to note that "KWM" specifically searches on disks for WebMoney service files and sends them to a remote FTP site. At the same time, the Trojan installs a "key tracker" on an infected computer, which imperceptibly records all keystrokes. In this way, the aforementioned malefactors are able to get WebMoney file passwords, and, circumventing the encrypted defense, find out the contents of such files. As a result, a computer user could soon learn his/her credit is gone along with his/her personal-payment account.
"KWM" is the latest malicious program specifically targeting WebMoney, the first being "Eurosol" that was detected on May 18 of this year. It is likely that this latest Trojan is also the work of the "Eurosol" writer.
In order to avoid infection by "KWM," Kaspersky Lab once again reminds users to be especially careful when dealing with files downloaded from the Internet, and under no circumstances open them without first having conducted an anti-virus scan.
Defense procedures thwarting "KWM" are already included in the latest daily Kaspersky Anti-Virus database updates.
A more detailed description of the "KWM" Trojan can be found in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Encyclopedia.

A new initiative was to invite heads of social media to host talks on personal data protection.
Facebook deputy chief privacy officer Rob Sherman flew all the way from Washington to take part and, as social networking involves pressing privacy issues, his talks drew much interest.
Sherman also hosted an in-depth discussion session with politicians and academics, including IT sector lawmaker Charles Mok Nai- kwong, Standing Committee on Technological Developments member John Bacon-Shone and University of Hong Kong academic Marcelo Thompson.
Many of those in attendance are avid social media users and have a direct stake in privacy protection, so they started to fire sharp questions right after the opening remarks.
Sherman said to address increasing concerns Facebook has made the privacy issue an integral part of new service developments, and its new "Ship Love" slogan is about sharing love and care messages under privacy protection.
Participants asked about frequent commercial messages users received, and wanted to know the Facebook policy in this regard and if users may refuse to be monitored entirely.
Another focal point was whether Facebook would automatically gain access to WhatsApp user data, including communication records after taking over the latter.
Questions from the floor came thick and fast, and Sherman was naturally unable
But he did try his best to deal with the queries, however difficult they might be, and was seen jotting down opinions.
I think he should at least be given high marks on sincerity. Siu Sai-wo is publisher of Sing Tao Daily

Red Sox outfielder Mike Cameron, who has played sparingly this season while dealing with a painful abdominal muscle tear, will talk with general manager Theo Epstein on Wednesday about moving on to next year by scheduling surgery to repair the injury. He says he's done for the year.
"We're in a position now where we need all of the healthy -- physically and mentally -- guys possible playing in the field," Cameron told ESPNBoston.com. "Me trying to play 65 percent is probably not beneficial to the ballclub at the moment.
"Sometimes, as hard as it's been to give in to certain things, it's probably best to start looking at other options now."Cameron, 37, a three-time Gold Glove winner, has played in just 48 games this season, his first in Boston. He was hurt early and hasn't been able to put together any long stretches of playing time due to the pain of playing with the injury. Now he thinks the best thing he can do is repair the tear and try to be ready for spring training. He's under contract for $7.25 million for 2011.
With Jacoby Ellsbury also appearing done for the year, Boston must go the rest of the way without two-thirds of its opening day outfield. Manager Terry Francona said rookie Ryan Kalish, who hit his first career grand slam Tuesday night, will get most of the playing time in center field.

Master of Horror Pro-Life Tomorrow on ShowtimeRorschach
If any of you have been following the Masters of Horror series on television, you are obviously aware of the great caliber to which the show has allotted so far; and this week it's no different.
This weeks episode entitled PRO LIFE was written by Drew McWeeny and directed by the legendary horror director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing).
The episode follow a young woman named Angelique (Caitlin Wachs) who has a near-death accident on an isolated mountain road. Fortunately for her, a nearby women's health clinic takes her in. Unfortunately for the health clinic, however, Angeliques father (played by Hellboy star Ron Perlman) is a strict anit-abortionist, along with his well armed sons. Perlman attempts to "liberate" Angelique from the clinic that refuses to let her go, and all the while Angelique is forced to battle the demon seed that is growing within her.
This will be Carpenter's second Masters of Horror episode, directing the ever terrifying CIGARETTE BURNS from the first season. With an enormous flrm catalogue of macabre behind him, Carpenter's episode should certainly be interesting. The episode will air this Friday, November 24th, at 10pm ET on Showtime. So tune in, and enjoy!

|Malondialdehyde-Modified Low-Density Lipoprotein Is a Useful Marker to Identify Patients With Vulnerable Plaque.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22785057 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: The association between elevated malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) and plaque instability in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is suspected but not established. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the association between serum MDA-LDL and plaque characteristics on angioscopy. Methods and Results: A total of 37 consecutive patients with CAD and single-vessel disease who underwent pre-interventional angioscopy, were studied. Using angioscopy at the target lesions, the presence of yellow plaque and complex plaque was examined. Moreover, we evaluated the yellow intensity, which has been shown to have an inverse correlation with the fibrous-cap thickness of the plaques, with quantitative colorimetry to identify a thin-cap atheroma. Serum MDA-LDL in patients with thin-cap atheroma diagnosed on quantitative colorimetry was significantly higher than in patients without thin-cap atheroma (P<0.0009). Univariate logistic regression indicated that serum MDA-LDL was a predictor for thin-cap atheroma (odds ratio [OR], 1.48; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.97; P=0.003) and for complex plaque (OR, 1.22; 95% CI: 1.00-1.48; P=0.046). On multivariate logistic regression serum MDA-LDL was the only independent predictor for thin-cap atheroma (OR, 1.48; 95% CI: 1.10-1.97; P=0.011). Conclusions: Using angioscopy and quantitative colorimetry, elevated MDA-LDL was confirmed to be associated with thin-cap atheroma in CAD patients.

|Protection by carbocromene and molsidomine against arrhythmias occurring during coronary artery occlusion and reperfusion in dogs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2413309 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We studied the effects of carbocromene (4 mg/kg plus 40 micrograms/kg/min i.v.) and molsidomine (0.1 mg/kg plus 2 micrograms/kg/min i.v.) on arrhythmias occurring during 90-min occlusion and 30-min reperfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in anesthetized dogs. Both drugs reduced the incidence of left ventricular (LV) premature depolarization during ligation (39% after carbocromene and 33% after molsidomine vs. 80% in controls; both p less than 0.05) and tachycardia (44% after carbocromene and 38% after molsidomine vs. 85% in controls; p less than 0.05). During reperfusion, the incidence of LV fibrillation was reduced in the carbocromene- (6 vs. 38% in controls; p less than 0.05) and molsidomine-treated dogs (10 vs. 38% in controls; p less than 0.05). The high incidence of ectopic activity and the ST segment elevation occurring after coronary ligation in control animals were prevented by both drugs. The hemodynamic deterioration after coronary occlusion, i.e., increase in blood pressure, LV systolic and end-diastolic pressures, LV dP/dtmax, and tachycardia observed in controls, was prevented by carbocromene. Molsidomine reduced blood pressure and LV pressure by 18 and 27% (p less than 0.05), respectively, during coronary occlusion. During reperfusion, no hemodynamic alterations occurred in the drug-treated animals. We conclude that carbocromene reduced the electrophysiologic consequences of acute ischemia by hemodynamic and anti-ischemic effects on heart metabolism. Molsidomine protected the jeopardized heart by a similar attenuation of hemodynamic derangement after coronary occlusion and perhaps by influencing prostanoid release from the ischemic myocardium.

Religious homophobe (and, though the two are not always synonymous, complete idiot) Sherri Shepherd is hawking an autobiographical inspirational book called Permission Slips: Every Woman's Guide to Giving Herself a Break. In it, according to National Enquirer (July 13, 2009), Sherri recounts how she was almost raped by a lesbian.
She was arrested for a traffic violation but was wearing a hoochie outfit (of the variety that born-again Christians, which she is now, do not wear), so the women she was incarcerated with took her for a prostitute. Once she was moved to the Sybil Brand Institute for Women—which sounds like the Sybil Danning Institute for Caged Heat—Sherri says a "masculine female janitor" offered her a Snickers bar. A cellmate told her that if she took the candy she would "be her wife." So she passed.
Moral of the story: Lesbians are like pitbulls, friendly one minute and ravenous the next.

About Me
I'm a California girl by birth and a city girl by heart. I'm currently attending Brooklyn College where I am mastering in Art History. I lived in Paris, France for two years where I studied French and art, as well as taught English at a French high school. I fell in love with France and all it has to offer. I have had the pleasure of working long-term for two great families, one in Paris for two years and one in NYC for a year, that I think of as part of my own family. I love watching the children grow up and being a part of their development.
When working with children, I an dedicated to sharing everything I have learned with them while learning from them as well. I find the bond that is formed is integral to the growth of the child and can impact their future greatly. I love reading with them, doing art projects, going to museums, playing games and sports, going outside and getting the most sunshine we can handle. Other than doing these activities on my own time as well as with children, I am a lover of yoga and cycling along with travel. I hope to visit all seven continents before I am 30!
