Park Productions screened student collaborative work at the Region One meeting of the Broadcast Education Association held Saturday, October 26th at the College of St. Rose in Albany, New York. Carol Jennings, Director of the Park Media Lab, focused her presentation on an educational outreach video filmed in Antananarivo, Madagascar about lemur behavior and habitats.
In 2012, she and two Cinema Production majors traveled to Madagascar at the invitation of the National Film Festival to teach a video production workshop for students at the University of Antananarivo. As part of the workshop, Ithaca College students and Malagasy students collaborated with biologists and educators at the Tsimbazaza Zoo to script and produce a video for Malagasy children to learn about their environment. The project was supported by a grant from the Dr. John Keshishoglou Center for Global Communications Innovation. The U.S. Embassy in Madagascar provided logistical support.
This international and interdisciplinary collaboration emerged from the Naturalist Outreach video series that Park Productions is producing in partnership with Linda Rayor, Professor of Entomology at Cornell University, and New York State 4H. Now in its fourth year, the video series inspires children to learn scientific facts about animals, plants, and insects in their backyards and beyond.

LOVINGSTON, VA-- FBI says investigators confirm they have recovered the cell phone of Alexis Murphy, a Virginia teenager who has been missing since early last month.
The federal agency said Tuesday that it has been able to positively identify one of the phones recovered as part of the investigation as belonging to the 17-year-old.
Officials did not provide any other details about when or where the phone was found.
Murphy was last seen August 3 by her family. Her car was found in the parking lot of a multiplex in Charlottesville three days later.
Randy Allen Taylor, 48 has been held without bond since his August 11 arrest in Murphy's disappearance. He has maintained his innocence.
A grand jury is set to meet Sept. 24 to decide whether to indict Taylor.
CBS affiliate WTVR reports Murphy's mother said she was relieved investigators found her missing daughter's cell phone. Laura Murphy reportedly told the station that Alexis kept the phone with her all day and night.
Laura Murphy reportedly still believes her daughter is alive and said she wished Taylor would tell investigators all that he knew about her daughter's disappearance.
According to WTVR, search crews were looking in and around the Rockfish River Saturday for clues in the teen's disappearance. However, investigators would not confirm why they were at that location and what may have been found.

Just to keep this conversation alive.
Inside Pitch
Marcum actually had a 3.70 ERA in 2012. Fiers posted much stronger peripherals than Marcum as well. (3.09 FIP 3.47 xFIP to 4.10 FIP 4.21 xFIP) I wouldn't expect Fiers peripherals to be nearly as strong as they were in 2012, but you'd have to be overly pessimistic about his peripheral regression. Estrada is also another pitcher who posted dominant peripherals in 2012. (3.35 FIP 3.48 xFIP) I wouldn't expect Estrada to be as dominant either, but you'd have to be overly pessimistic about his peripheral regression.
Weeks hit .261/.343/.457/.800 in the second half of 2012. From 2007-2011, he posted a .255/.357/.448/.807 line. It's not hoping for a lot to have Weeks go back to being what he was outside of his 2012 first half. It's not a guarantee, but it's not ludicrous either. I agree there are regression questions with the offense, but pegging them for 715 (-61 runs from 2012) would certainly be on the pessimistic side since the last time the Brewers scored fewer than 721 runs (2011) was in 2004 (634). The Brewers would have to allow 770 runs to be a 75 win team with that offense. (Only the Rockies and the Astros gave up more runs in the NL in 2012) An improved bullpen will go along way in supporting the rotation in 2013. (2012 pen was 55 runs below league average) I don't think the current rotation is as bad as the Cubs, Padres, Astros, and Rockies were in 2012. It could end up that way, but you're basically saying any unproven pitcher is going to suck no matter what if you believe it is as it currently stands.
Are you kidding me with the what if Braun, Ramirez, Hart go down for any length of time? You could say that for every team in baseball. That's not a legitimate knock on the offense unless they have a history of missing significant chunks of time. (They simply don't)Hide replies
The point is Warboss the brewers have a quality #2 SP in Gallardo and than what, a semi-proven #4 SP in Marco Estrada? Fiers and Peralta show great potential but have yet to pitch on full MLB season! Rogers also has nice potential to go along with a long history of injuries and PED offenses. Narveson is coming off a rotator cuff injury! Way too many ?'s in the rotation to not add a solid #3 SP. That would still leave room for Peralta and Fiers for two spots and Rogers and nar vy battling for the other spot!
correction: Peralta, Fiers, Rogers and narvy would be left to battle for the other TWO spots (if we sign a #2 or #3 SP).
The problem I have with the Brewers offense is not the totals they will put up, the offense is good enough to go .500 even with mediocre pitching (see Milwaukee Brewers 2012) but that they lack any type of LH power to challenge opposing teams managers and bullpens late in games. Its too easy for opposing teams to trot out their best RHP in a key situation without even getting the manager to look at swapping his pitcher. Thus, it keep the opposing teams bullpens fresher and doesn't allow the Brewers to see some of their "worse" middle relievers in tight ball games. The Brewers rotation is fine. They have options, they won't all struggle. Estrada really has proven himself a decent starter and gallardo is a consistant top of the rotation guy. Not many teams are blessed with a set starting rotation going into Spring Training.
Examining The Market For Right-Handed Relief
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [January 10 at 9:32am CST]
The market for right-handed relievers doesn't seem robust at this stage in the winter. There are lots of options out there and, seemingly, few teams looking to spend aggressively on them. That dynamic impacts everyone, Soriano included. Here's a look at the latest rumors surrounding some of the second-tier right-handed relievers available. I've added the latest rumors when possible, though some of these players have had a quiet few months...
•Jose Valverde - There's been little reported interest in Valverde, who won't be back in Detroit. His playoff struggles appear to have compromised his leverage.
•Brian Wilson - Many teams have expressed interest in Wilson. He's now rehabbing and is closer to throwing off a mound.
•Kyle Farnsworth - It's been a quiet offseason for Farnsworth rumors, but he has been linked to the Rays and Brewers.
•Francisco Rodriguez - There's been no reported interest in the free agent reliever this offseason.
•Jon Rauch - Only the •have been linked to Rauch this winter.
•Brandon Lyon - There's been no reported interest in the Meister Sports Management client.
•Matt Capps - The Twins declined a 2013 option for Capps, and since then it's been quiet.
•Chad Durbin - The 35-year-old has drawn interest from teams including the Braves this offseason.
•Mark Lowe - The Dodgers, Giants, Brewers, Angels, and Rays inquired on Lowe, who's younger than most free agents at 29 years old.
While some or all of these players could be drawing interest that hasn't been reported, the market seems quiet. In this context, ACES, the agency that brought Brandon League and the Dodgers together early in the offseason, has additional reason to be quite pleased with its three-year, $22.5MM deal.Hide replies
At least one of those guys will end up in St. Louis and will eat us up during the regular season. Count on it. Its as sure as death and taxes. the Cardinals will sign a pitcher who will dominate the brewers every year and we will say "why didn't we sign THAT guy??"
Brian Wilson really would be a nice signing. We don't have top rush him back to health because our pen is filled up pretty nicely right now. if Axford struggled in April and early May, Wilson could get his shot. Even if Ax played up to his 2011 form, Wilson could be our 8th inning guy and give us the lock down 8th and 9th like we had in 11. At the worst he stinks and we are out whatever we payed him for 1 year.
Would be nice to add another veteran arm to the BP as you can NEVER have too many quality arms in the pen. I like that the Brewers have been linked (see below) to Kyle Farnsworth! They have also been linked to Jon Rauch and Mark Lowe.

A week after that I started feeling cramping and a week after tons of heavy white discharge (which i NEVER get) my nips are sore and look darker (according to the husband) I swear I have had some cravings this whole week. Is this just a hopeful pregnancy or can I possibly be pregnant? I took a ept test today but its says negative. My period isnt due till the day after thanksgiving. Any advice when I should test again and may I be prego! Thanks ladies

A.M. Sunday
The Betweeners
Mary Craik, Painter and Fiber Artist
Shirley Mason, Painter
When Lexington artist Shirley Ardell Mason died in 1998, word quickly spread that she was the basis for the character "Sybil," the woman whose battle with multiple personality disorder was detailed in a best-selling book and TV movie. As this Mixed Media profile shows, many of her 16 distinct personalities found expression through an impressive outpouring of paintings. Producer Tom Thurman documents this rare, personal and sometimes disturbing collection of art.
This week's Mixed Media also showcases the talents of fiber artist Mary Craik, a 78-year-old retired university professor with a doctorate in educational psychology. She is a self-trained painter and fiber artist who started painting in 1997 and working with fabric in 1998. Mary makes acrylic paintings on silk, large quilts, contemporary wall hangings, banners, and wearable art.
The Betweeners, an acoustic band that plays original American roots music that blends the sounds of bluegrass, blues, swing, and soul, will start off the show, performing songs from their album Matador Karma. The group's influences include a variety of artists, such as Ry Cooder, Willie Nelson, Mose Allison, and John Prine. We'll leave you with a performance by AM Sunday, a group who describes their music as a mixture of rock, funk and soul.

Just wanted to say hi.
I am new here. In my home we have several different tropical fish tanks throughout the house. In the living room, we have a 5 gallon goldfish tank, 2 small Betta tanks, and a 20 gallon tropical fish tank. In my sons room, he has a goldfish tank, a 10 gallon trpoical fish tank, and 2 Betta tanks also he has a 5 gallon Tetra tank. My daughter has a 10 gallon tropical tank, a goldfish tank, a 5 gallon mickey mouse tank, and 2 Betta tanks.
Re: Just wanted to say hi.
Wow, your family has many fish tanks. How did you become so interested in keeping aquariums? When you say tropical, do you mean saltwater?
:shock: that must be alot of cleaning there
How do you keep up with all those tanks?!? :shock:
And stocking them...that must get quite expensive.
I guess it was my 11 year old son that got us started last year. You see, he had a favorite cat that slept with him, and last year the cat got sick and we tried nursing him back to health, it worked for a month, but then he got sick again. He died just as I put him on the counter at the vets. :cry:
My son has some medical problems, and well in a nut shell, he decided wanted something else other than a cat to get him interested in.
And from there, things prgressed.
It is my son and I that keep up with the tanks.

Jedi Knight III
Star Killer
Its Starkiller time again! Raziel here brings us the latest version of his Starkiller skin. Although that said, the last version was supposed to be the final version, so this is the second final
Show All
Show All
version. ;) Not to worry though, because this is a good skin and I am glad to see it back. Firstly, it is worth noting that there have only been some slight changes since last time around, as the author himself admits in his readme, he only slightly changed the default skins and thus the team skins are still the same as the last version. From what I can tell, the gloves and forearms have different textures as does the armour around his neck. The team skins are still the same, so that means a scary, pale, orange-eyed Sith for the red team skin and a clean robed Jedi for the blue team skin, both of which look great as I have said before. The author has also included Starkiller's saber hilt (which uses the back handed stance ingame) with this file, which nicely rounds this file off. As I am sure I have said before, I would really have liked some custom sounds for the taunts and such, perhaps from the game itself, but the default sounds used for this skin do fit well so that's not too much of a worry. All in all there have only been a few slight changes made, but they are an improvement I think. A good mod here for those who liked Starkiller and The Force Unleashed, if you guys like the look of it, then give it a download! :) [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]Bot Support:[/b] No [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes ~Nozyspy~

As a collector of miniature perfume bottles, I often find one or two perfumes that completely capture my imagination. I know that if I want to purchase the full sized bottle, I can always find it a fragranceX.com for the best price and delivery available.
Even though I live in Australia my order arrived in remarkably good time and in excellent condition.
I have purchased from other online perfumeries in the past but the perfume was stale which, I believed, was due to incorrect storage. The two bottles I received from fragranceX.com were fresh and lovely and within their original packaging.
I have already recommended your site to friends.

My 20 year old not dealing well....
Personally, I think he's still "marinating". It's going to be weird for him, if for the only reason, he is old enough to be the child's father. I'm sure he'll come around though. From his point of view, it's just got to be weird.
We're kind of going through a similar, but entirely different thing here. DH is 40 and his Dad married a younger woman. He's 65 and they're "trying". We'll be old enough to be said child's grandparents. DH won't be jealous, he's matured, but I've questioned FIL sanity at wanting a newborn at that age.
Definitely reassure him that no one could ever replace him. You will love him just as much as you do now, and you will love your new baby too. It's amazing that we can feel so full of love with one child, like there is no more room for anymore. But then you have another and you love them just as much! Your heart grows and makes room for more love. Also tell him how he will be the cool big brother and his little sibling will look up to him always. My husband's big brother is 17 years older than him, and although his brother was upset at first, he became a very important part of his life. They are very close now. :)

There is a difference between close and codependent. I'd have to say the evidence here points to the latter. I too find his comments strange for a 20 year old man and it confuses me why a new baby would be such an adjustment for an an adult child who does not live with you.
"Maybe the negative women who are answering never experienced having a healthy loving close relationship with their children."
"I known that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to insinuate an unhealthy relationship is ridiculous..!!.."
I realize this is kind of OT and taking this thread in a different direction, but I have to point out how funny it is to see these two comments in the same paragraph.
Your son is not mature. Im 20 almost 21. Im pregnant with number 2, own my own home, married and if my mom got pregnant i would feel some sort of way. Its weird, ive been saying it would be weird once i was like 14. The excuse i had him when i was 16 doesnt fly. My mom had my oldest brother at 16, then my middle brother and me all before 30. With a 20 year old gap there is no connection. Oh and we all have different dads.

We told our 18yr old college student yesterday about the new baby, he laughed he thought it was FUNNY! Then said, "Mom, you know that is a bit crazy but it's ok I'll still baby sit".

Psychoanalysis, African Americans and Inequality
full name / name of organization:
Special Issue of the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society
contact email:
Annie Stopford and Sheldon George at email@example.com
The election and presidency of Barack Obama have urged reconceptualization of the social position held by African Americans in contemporary society. Debate and discussion abound in both scholarly and popular arenas as to whether the U.S. is finally moving toward a "post Racial" ideal or whether American society remains structured along lines largely demarcated by race. Legal scholar Michelle Alexander, for example, has highlighted in her bestselling book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" the discrepancy between a "Post Racial" ideal and the profoundly disturbing reality that the majority of young black men in major American cities are behind bars or labeled felons for life, trapped in a permanent second class status. The work of scholars like Alexander brings new focus to questions about the social and psychological realities impacting African Americans, productively organizing the discussion around issues of racial equality and justice in the U.S.
What contributions can psychoanalytic theorists and clinicians make to this discussion? Can psychoanalytic theories and practices help to bring to light the ways racial injustice and inequality are perpetuated in the U.S., or do they serve to maintain the status-quo? Or both?
We are interested in submissions for a special issue of the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society that will explore issues of African American inequality from both theoretical and clinical perspectives. Possible areas of interest include: psychoanalytic perspectives on the criminalization of black men and/or women; embodiment, "colorblindness" and/or the "Post Racial" America; readings of racial trauma, healing, faith, fantasy and discourses of "hope"; application of clinical methods in African American contexts and communities, or in jails and prisons; denial in the psychoanalytic community; psychoanalytic perspectives on politics, public policy and/or economic realities.
For more information, or to submit manuscripts, please contact the special issue guest editors, Annie Stopford and Sheldon George, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline for submission is August 31, 2013. Articles should not exceed 8,000 words in length, including references and, where they are used, endnotes. All articles will be subject to peer review.

So as most of you know by now, Neil Miller's mom and I got to see the surprise World Premiere of Star Trek last night at the world famous Alamo Drafthouse here in beautiful, scenic Austin. Also, Neil was there, and because of that, he's been asked to appear for a live segment on G4's Attack of the Show.
It'll air on G4 at 6pm (Central Time). I'm sorry, but you're going to have to do the math on what time zone you're in. I'm not always going to be around to do things for you.
I can only assume that he'll be geeking out all over the place, recounting his experience of sitting right next to Leonard Nimoy during the the screening, and passing my phone number along to Olivia Munn. At least, he would be doing all of those things if he was a good friend and decent human being.
So that's that. I know how Neil hates when we run stories about ourselves (and I do, too) but I also need all of our readers to tune in and check out Neil's sweet new beard design. Classic goatee. He's looking good, friends.
Now I just need someone to go on America's Best Dance Crew to give my phone number to Layla Kayleigh. Let's get on that, people.
What do you think? Neil's goatee is stylin' as all get out, right? Right.

On Wednesday, two suicide bombers drove their explosives-filled cars into military targets in Egypt, killing at least nine soldiers and wounding 17 people. In effort to prevent such attacks on their member countries, NATO has developed a ray gun-like weapon capable of stopping suspected suicide bombers' vehicle before they reach their designated targets.
DNews: iPhone 5S: How Fingerprint Scanners Work
Built by Diehl Defence, the nonlethal gun emits a beam of microwave energy that causes voltage spikes in electronic devices, essentially frying the circuits within. Since electronics are essential for a car engine to run, the beam immediately shuts down an approaching and potentially dangerous vehicle.
NATO researchers recently released a video of the beam stopping an approaching car at a simulated military checkpoint. By mounting the beam-shooting device in the back of a vehicle, tests showed the system is capable of disabling a car that approaches from the rear. The device can even remotely deactivate a bomb by jamming radio signals and it could be used at sea to disable pirate ships and to shut down drones.
Details of how it works are still kept under wraps, but the physics are known. The trick is designing a beam generator with enough energy and then directing that energy toward a specific location. How to do that has eluded scientists for years. And although the weapons bears no resemblance to an actual sci-fi ray gun (it looks like a trio of blenders in a large cupboard) if it stops suicide bombers, no one is going to get hung up on the aesthetics.

Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment
Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
I'd like to start by thanking the AmCham and its President Joe Mannix for hosting this luncheon today and to all of you for coming.
I also want to commend the AmCham membership for the joint public-private public diplomacy efforts in response to the severe flooding in Thailand, which generated cash donations exceeding $4 million, and served more than 180,000 meals for flood victims.
Your commitment and caring for the people of Thailand I'm sure will not soon be forgotten.
I also want to thank Joe for his participation in Secretary Clinton's Global Business Conference last month in Washington.
It was the first-ever Global Business Conference at the State Department in Washington. We brought together senior U.S. officials with more than 160 business leaders from over 120 countries.
The Global Business Conference had one goal: to figure out how the United States can make it easier for companies to do business internationally and create American jobs.
The State Department and Economic Statecraft
Now you may be asking yourselves "Why is the State Department spending so much time thinking about the U.S. economy and America's commercial interests abroad? This is not something the State Department has spent so much time worrying about in the past."
Strengthening the U.S. economy and creating jobs is a top priority back home. With the launch of the President's National Export Initiative in early 2010, all agencies with a role in U.S. international trade, including the Department of State, were asked to play a more active role in export promotion. And given the numbers of state of the U.S. economy, no issue is more important today.
In addition, Secretary Clinton recognizes "that America's economic strength and our global leadership are a package deal and that you're not going to have one without the other."
In a speech she delivered last fall describing this challenge, she said "Our power in the 21st century depends not just on the size of our military but also on what we grow, how well we innovate, what we make, and how effectively we sell. Rising powers like China, India, and Brazil understand this as well, and we can't sit on the sidelines while they put economics at the center of their foreign policies."
And so the State Department is engaging in Economic Statecraft. That was why we hosted the Global Business Conference, and brought together senior U.S. government officials and U.S. multinational business executives from around the world to exchange information and ideas on how best to shape our work going forward.
At the time of the conference, the Secretary announced the creation of "Jobs Diplomacy," a series of programs to promote American business competitiveness overseas and equip Foreign Service Officers with the skills and tools they need to better advocate for America's economic interests abroad.
Through the Jobs Diplomacy initiative, the Secretary stated her commitment to meet with business leaders on every foreign trip. She also launched the "Direct Line to American Business" program, in which ambassadors in key markets are being asked to conduct regular conference calls to brief the U.S. business community on economic opportunities in their countries, as well as answer questions.
Economic Shift to Asia
I don't need to tell you that much of future global economic growth will be centered in the Asia-Pacific.
Asian economies and populations are growing rapidly and so are the opportunities to expand our exports to the region.
In 2011, the United States exported nearly $900 billion in goods to APEC countries. That's more exports than we sent to any other group of regional economies.
We hope that our economic shift to Asia has been obvious and beneficial. We were able to get KORUS passed, we hosted a successful APEC year in 2011, and we are increasing our engagement with ASEAN.
In Southeast Asia in particular, the U.S. government is looking to launch a couple of new initiatives to support our private sectors interests in the region. The U.S. Trade Development Agency (USTDA) is leading a Connectivity Cooperation Initiative with ASEAN and the State Department is collaborating with the U.S. ASEAN Business Council to organize a Lower Mekong Initiative Infrastructure Best Practices Exchange.
As we make this shift to Asia, though, it is imperative that we do it in the right way.
The decisions Asia's emerging economies make together with the United States will help govern a rules-based system that will guide us through the 21st century. If we get the rules right, all of our countries will prosper together.
As we build this future, we should be clear. We are striving to build a global, rules-based system in which all businesses stand a chance to succeed. Secretary Clinton has clearly articulated our vision that economic competition should be open, free, transparent, and fair.
Private Sector Collaboration is Critical
As the Secretary noted in her speech at the Global Business Conference on February 21st, we want to work with the AmChams around the world to best support U.S. businesses abroad and drive recovery at home.
As part of this effort our embassies have identified best practices that demonstrate how the U.S. government and AmChams can better collaborate to expand opportunities for U.S. businesses worldwide.
However, we can and must do much more in the coming years to advance this economic statecraft agenda, and we need the business community to be our full partner.
We need to sit down together more, in forums like this one or the State Department Global Business Conference.
Building sustainable global growth and creating jobs at home is a joint venture.
The private sector innovates and allocates capital, and the government opens doors to new markets and ensures that the system is fair.
We must take our partnership between business and government to the next level.
We are relying on you to think big, to generate new ideas, to open doors with jobs and capital. And the government will be right beside you – knocking down barriers, connecting partners, protecting everyone's interests.
Together, we can build a system of healthy economic competition that will be sustainable and profitable for many years to come.
As I mentioned earlier, I know that in support of Thailand's recovery process and furthering investor confidence, American firms have stepped in to revive affected businesses and spur tourism through public-private partnerships. We commend your efforts and encourage further collaboration, particularly through the Thai-U.S. Creative Partnership to promote our innovative sectors.
Strong commercial ties lead to prosperity at home and abroad and I look forward to our discussion about what we can do to strengthen those ties.
In conclusion, I would just say that we should all be asking: What can the government and the State Department do to improve opportunities for business in Thailand? How can we do better?
We really want to hear from you – the U.S. business community – about the best way forward for our trade and investment relations with Thailand.
I look forward to hearing your insights and am more than willing to answer any questions you might have.
Thank you.

Some people are not comfortable using a moisturizer that contains oils. They may find them too greasy for their skin or think that rubbing oils on their faces may not provide any benefits. This is particularly true for people with oily skin and they are often recommended to use an oil-free moisturizer.
But oils are used in moisturizers for a reason. Skin needs moisture to be hydrated and moisture is actually water, which evaporates if you don't seal it in with an oil. Oily substances like petrolatum and mineral oil form an occlusive barrier on the skin that prevents the moisture (water) from evaporating.
So, if moisturizers need oils, how can oil-free moisturizers work? Well, instead of oils, they use ingredients that have very similar properties. Oils aren't the only substances that can create an occlusive barrier. Silicones, like Dimethicone, can do that too. In addition, these products also contain another group of ingredients called humectants, like Glycerin, which have the ability to draw water from the air to the skin and help retain moisture.
But what type of moisturizer is better? That depends on your skin and your personal preference. If oils don't work for you or you're not comfortable using them, you can opt for an oil-free moisturizer. Very often however, oils and humectants are used together in the same product because this combination usually works best.

Good fun both in SP&MP. However it is much more fun to play it with friends, so if u have some friends who own Killing Floor, go for it! You will propably have a lot of fun with this game, I saw a lot of people with 300+ hours played. But there is only survival mode so I was little bored after few hours of play. But anyway I enjoyed this game so you should buy it until it´s on sale! Also requirements are really low and you can play this game on low-end PCs.

@camiravelette yes it's related to your pregnancy because of some hormonal changes that happens if you're pregnant, I also experienced the same thing during my 2nd trimester and until now that I am on my 8 month. I cannot explain the itchiness inside my ear so what I did i used cotton buds to clean, but i ended up having infection because my ear was scratched or wounded during cleaning. My OB and EENT doctor just give me an antiobiotic ear drops BUT you will not apply directly to your ear, just put a small few drops in a cottonroll and gently insert to your ear, and they also give me a safe pain reliever and it makes me comfortable and pain free. One more thing, Nasal congestion(again because of hormonal changes) is common in pregnancy and secretions may pass in our ear through what they called "eustachian tube" that sometimes can cause us ear infection and severe itchiness if we are pregnant. Hope it helps. :)posted 11/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
This is my second pregnancy and again I have an ear infection. The first time it started in my 1st trimester and my ear was itchy and full of fluid. I would use a q-tip to get the fluid out and itch it. Like above..not a good idea! The DR gave me augmentum (sp), I took it for 2 weeks and it worked..for a week, then the fluid and itchiness was back. This went on for months!! I finally went to an ENT and he provided drops called CiproDex. I could only take it in my 3rd trimester. My ear infection went away!! I stopped using q-tips and itching bc that just brought it back and made it worse. Now I'm in my 2nd trimester and have had this same ear infection since I got pregnant. I haven't gone to the dr bc I figured they can't do anything that will work except CiproDex that I can't take yet. This sucks and it's def hard to not use q-tips and my finger to itch. Now I have Scratched and caused an infection. My ear is swollen shutand hurts like hell! I think I'll call the ENT on monday!posted 01/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I woke up this morning with a ear ache that felt like swimmer's ear (I haven't been swimming that much). I haven't had an ear infection since I was a little kid too! I'm going to get some ear candles, ear drops, and take some tylenol and hope for the best lolposted 06/04/2012 by amytully1
I never had any ear infections but from the first month of pregnancy on i had mild itchiness and increased secretion from my ear. Somedays it would bug me more so I would try to clean/itch it with a q-tip. Not a good idea, now in my 4th month I just went to urgent care for a painful outer ear infection. They gave me a mild prescription for drops that are basically vinegar and water to use 3 times a day and told me to take Tylenol for the pain. (I took the tylenol regularly for the first 24 hours, then tried to only take it in the evenings after that to help the pain go away so I could sleep). They didn't want to give me anything stronger that might harm the baby. Tips: don't use q-tips to scratch an irritated ear, that will just make it worse, and if something does happen, go see your primary care physician.posted 04/20/2011 by Tamdiego

Hyde: Why Ricky Willliams doesn't like some media
Follow me on Twitter at firstname.lastname@example.com.
There's this delicate dance that goes on between athletes and media and sometimes we lose. Sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes Ricky Williams gets tired of it all and tweets:
"1 of the reasons I have an issue w/some of the members of the media is b/c they pollute our lockerroom w/negativity, mediocrity & triviality."
My idea was to talk with Williams about being the longest-tenured athlete in South Florida's pro sports. He's been here since 2002 (with a couple of notable sabbaticals). That's remarkable given his past. It's doubly remarkable given the hard manner, at 34, he still runs the ball. Just this preseason he could have stepped out of bounds, but instead stayed inbounds to run over an Atlanta defensive back.
But our conversation drifted to this tweet. And for about 20 minutes we talked about the coverage of the Dolphins. We in the media have our say most of the time. So let's listen to Williams have his say about us, because he has some good thoughts and a unique perspective.
The background to the tweet was this: On the eve of each game, special-teams coach John Bonamego delivers an inspiring story to the full team. Most players enjoy these messages. They're anecdotal, often personal.
Before playing Atlanta a few weeks ago, Bonamego talked of his football mentor, an old special-teams coach, in such glowing terms that Williams felt inspired. He then took measure of all the positive influences around him.
Coaches. Teammates. Even locker-room attendants intent on doing their best job. Then he thought of a group that he thinks detracts from that. Us in the media. It isn't the intrusive nature of our job, he said.
"It's the fact they don't work as hard at what they do as we work at what we do,'' he said.
The questions? "Superficial,'' he said.
The storylines? "When I'm told what they want to talk about, I often think, 'Are you really going to write that?' ''
The expectation? "People come with pre-conceived ideas of what I should say, like I'm just filling in some quotes of a story they already have instead of listening to what I have to say. "
The main complaint? "When I come out of talking with someone like John Madden, I feel good. Inspired. But so many interviews with (local media), I feel the good energy gets sucked away."
He's not so much talking about "negative" stories.
"Even a negative story can have something good if it's done right,'' he said.
Williams said he wishes we in the media did a better job. It would add to the atmosphere.
"The nature of the profession is we push ourselves to manifest greatness on a daily basis,'' he said. "I just don't see (the media) ask that of themselves."
"Some questions would be simple: 'What makes you good at your position?' '' he said. "The way I look at it, I would say I'm crafty. I have a running style that invites contact, but let's say that play has me going through the 5-hole, but the linebacker is shooting the gap. I might decide to speed up or slow down one step, just to make him miss.
"Ronnie (Brown) is incredible, the way he prepares. He's very creative. He has a mental bank of what he'll do on each situation in each play. He'll know if he turns and a (defender) is standing in a certain place, he's immediately going to spin the other way. "
Williams also thought we in the media should police ourselves. If a bad question or bad story is written, we should call out a writer like coaches call out a player. When I told him we weren't all on the same team, he pointed to his helmet.
"On this team, we're all wearing the same helmet,'' he said. Then he looked over the assembled media: "I see everyone carrying a similar notebook and pen and doing the same thing."
Last week, Williams tweeted out this about the search on the practice field for Kendall Langford's lost diamond earring: "For the record: I am so mad about the fact that the missing diamond is even news. Shame on those that made it news!"
I thought it was a quirky story worth a chuckle.
"It's not football news,'' he said. "It has nothing to do with football."
He added: "If it happened in the locker room or on the practice field when no one was there to see it, no one would even know about it."
Williams is the most fascinating player I've covered. He has thoughts that stretch far beyond football. And give him credit for taking on two of the groups most players figure it's not worth the trouble taking on: fans and media.
Earlier this summer, he questioned some fans who came out to training camp and heckled players at practice . That made full sense.
As for the media, we can quibble over some things. But his main idea is he wants the media to be better. I'm all for that, starting with myself.

FASB and IASB Issue Revised Exposure Drafts on Lease Accounting
On May 16, 2013, the FASB and IASB issued revised joint Exposure Drafts about proposed changes to the accounting for leases that, if finalized as proposed, would significantly change how lessees and lessors account for and report leasing arrangements in their financial statements. The Boards made extensive modifications to their 2010 lease accounting proposals in response to the nearly 800 comment letters and other input received from constituents. Some notable changes from the 2010 proposals include a dual-model approach for lessee accounting that would change the pattern and presentation of lease expense for some leases, significant revisions to the lessor accounting model, new lease classification tests that would apply to lessees and lessors, a new way of estimating the lease term, and changes to the accounting for most variable lease payments.
COSO Releases Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)
On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) released its Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). The Defining Issues summarizes the changes in the 2013 Framework from the 1992 Framework and KPMG's initial thoughts about the implications of the Framework for management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as organizations transition to the 2013 Framework.
SEC Issues Guidance for Conflict Minerals and Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers
On May 30, 2013, the SEC staff issued frequently asked questions and responses about complying with its rules on conflict minerals and disclosure of payments by resource extraction issuers. Both rules were adopted by the SEC in 2012 to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
AICPA Issues Practice Aid for Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation
On May 1, 2013, the AICPA issued a Practice Aid that addresses the valuation of privately-held-company equity securities that are issued as compensation. The Practice Aid includes a discussion about applying FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, to measuring privately-held-company equity securities that are issued as compensation; considerations for determining the appropriate basis of valuation (e.g., a minority interest subject to current ownership versus the sale of a controlling interest in an entity); and leading practices for estimating the fair value of privately-held-company equity securities based on the company's stage of development.
EITF Reaches Two Final Consensuses
In its June 11 meeting, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) discussed six issues and reached final Consensuses on two issues: inclusion of the fed funds effective swap rate (or overnight index swap rate) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes; and presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward exists.
Additionally, the EITF reached three Consensuses-for-Exposure: accounting for the difference between the fair value of the assets and the fair value of the liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity (re-exposure); accounting for service concession arrangements; and reclassification of collateralized mortgage loans upon a troubled debt restructuring.
AICPA Releases Financial Reporting Framework for Small- and Medium-Sized Entities
On June 10, 2013, the AICPA released its Financial Reporting Framework for small- and medium-sized entities (FRF for SMEs). Unlike the FASB and its Private Company Council's private company initiative to consider whether modifications or exceptions to U.S. GAAP should be available for private companies that issue GAAP financial statements, the FRF for SMEs is a self-contained, other comprehensive basis of accounting that would not affect GAAP.
The FRF for SMEs is available for use by private entities whose financial statement users will accept financial statements prepared under the FRF for SMEs.
FASB Proposes Standard for Going Concern Disclosures
On June 26, 2013, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would provide guidance about when and how entities should disclose going concern uncertainties in financial statements. All entities would be required to assess at each reporting period their ability to meet their obligations as they become due within 24 months of the financial statement date to determine whether it is necessary to include financial statement disclosures about going concern uncertainties. An SEC filer also would be required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, it would need to express that conclusion in the financial statements.
PCC Proposes Alternative Accounting Methods for Intangible Assets and Interest Rate Swaps for Private Companies
On July 1, 2013, the FASB and Private Company Council (PCC) approved for public comment three proposals that would establish accounting alternatives for private companies that issue U.S. GAAP financial statements. If finalized, the proposals would permit private companies to select any or all of the alternatives in accounting for (1) certain identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination; (2) goodwill; and (3) receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps.
As proposed, these alternatives would not be available to public companies. However, the FASB may consider during the redeliberation process whether the alternatives would be appropriate for public companies.
Go to FASB Exposure Draft about Private Company Accounting for:
FASB's Proposed Changes for Insurance Contracts
On June 27, 2013, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would change the accounting and financial reporting for insurance and reinsurance contracts issued and reinsurance contracts held regardless of the type of entity issuing or holding these contracts. This would be a change from U.S. GAAP for insurance contracts, which generally applies to only insurance companies and not to non-insurance entities that issue similar contracts (e.g., some financial guarantee contracts). Other than reinsurance contracts, the proposed ASU does not address accounting by policyholders.
Revenue Recognition: Boards Agree to Clarify Guidance on Collectibility and Variable Consideration
At their July 2013 joint meeting, the FASB and IASB reached tentative decisions to clarify the guidance in their forthcoming revenue standard about the effects of customers' credit risk (i.e., doubts about collectibility), constraining estimates of variable consideration, and accounting for consideration received in a transaction when an enforceable contract with a customer does not exist.

From: Ross Ricketts
Received: Dec. 26
If you've been reading the Republic lately, you've seen statements from our school superintendent, student assistance coordinator and Columbus Police Department regarding the procedures in place to protect your children. After reading these statements, do you have any more peace of mind that your children are safer now?
After 9/11, massive steps were taken to make aircraft safer. Cockpit doors were hardened, the air marshal program was initiated, pilots were trained and armed. Why hasn't a similar plan been put into effect to protect our children? Mr. Quick also mentioned secret plans. I hope this secret plan involves trained, armed personnel in the schools. Every school. There is no doubt in my mind that many of you would abhor the idea of guns in our schools. There are other countries and other states in this country that have trained, armed personnel in their schools and the problem is solved.
You probably don't give a second thought when you see an armed guard carrying a bag of money out of a store. Do we not want our children afforded the same amount of protection we give a bag of cash? Are our priorities that misplaced? Now is the time to take on the issue seriously enough to actually protect the students. In Indiana, anyone appointed as a security guard, with a carry permit, can carry a weapon on school property.
The next step is simple. Recruit a select group of volunteers willing to accept this responsibility. Train them in both the weapons skills and mindset skills that it takes to possibly take another person's life, to prevent your children, teachers and other school personnel from losing their lives. There are already training facilities that have stepped up and offered free training to the people the schools would select. I don't think you would have a problem finding retired military or law enforcement personnel to volunteer for this duty.
There are two sayings I like to quote. "You can call 911 government sponsored dial-a-prayer," and "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away." I have the utmost respect for our law enforcement officers, but they will agree that they are first responders to a situation. They are not going to be there to prevent the carnage from taking place. That is what the armed and trained school personnel would be there for. These people would carry concealed so as not to alarm the children, and their identity would be unknown, but the ability to protect would be there.
I myself have no children in school, however I do have two beautiful grand nieces that could possibly be in harm's way at any time. I know that I would have more peace of mind knowing that there is a higher level of protection than cameras, locked doors and practiced response plans can provide. If a deranged person is bent on committing a heinous action on our children, those aforementioned protections will not stop him. A trained, armed citizen will.
Take a moment to think about this. You're not going to be able to get rid of all the guns in our country, you're not going to get all the doctors to quit prescribing the psychiatric drugs that most of these killers are found to be on. The thing you can do, is demand that serious action be taken to protect your children. Call your school administrators and let them know how you feel.
Let's not let Columbus be the next Columbine or Sandy Hook.

Britain's most famous model, Kate Moss, caused a commotion when she appeared front row at Topshop's runway show for their "Topshop Unique" collection, accompanied by British businessman Sir Philip Green.
As soon as Moss was seated, many of the attendees began raising their cameras and snapping pictures of the model. But Moss, who has long supported the brand, was unresponsive to journalists, and fans. She "chatted and laughed with Topshop boss Phillip Green and her friends, but ignored everyone's pleas for a quick word about the clothes, the weather, or anything at all."
Her spokeswoman communicated on Moss' behalf and mentioned that her khaki green boiler suit, worn with a vintage shaggy black jacket, came from Topshop.
Moss was also seen posing for pictures with her teenage cousin, Lottie Moss, an aspiring model herself. Lottie sat in the front row of the show with Moss, Green, and American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who has taken in several shows since Fashion Week started Friday morning.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Umunna acknowledged there was a feeling in its former colonies that Britain has been less engaged than other partners such as China, Brazil and India.
"I think it's fair to say that there is a perception that we've been a bit complacent and because of our historical ties have felt somehow that we don't need to put as much effort in," he said. "I want to be very clear and send out a very strong message to policymakers and business communities in all of the West African countries that the U.K. wants to do business."
Back home, Umunna said he was focused on helping put the Labour Party back into power in the 2015 elections under party leader Ed Miliband — something he said the party was in a good position to accomplish.
Umunna said he left the law for politics "to achieve massive positive change" and that he was frustrated being in the opposition.
Though widely regarded as an up and coming force in the Labour Party, Umunna has received some recent negative press related to his online footprint. Last month Britain's Daily Mail reported that on an invitation-only social networking website, Umunna complained in 2006 that clubs in London's West End "seem to be full of trash and C-list wannabes, while other places that should know better opt for the cheesy vibe." The paper said the comments undercut the lawmaker's "man of the people" image.
Umunna has also been criticized in the press for editing his own Wikipedia page to include references to "the U.K.'s Barack Obama," something his office has said he has no recollection of doing. Prime Minister David Cameron made light of the story on May 8 in the House of Commons, saying, "Now he has been famously comparing himself to Barack Obama. As he would put it, can we change our Wikipedia entry? Yes we can." In BBC footage of the remarks, Umunna rolls his eyes in response.
"With respect to the nightclub comment I've never claimed to be a saint," Umunna told AP. "My generation, we're probably the first generation to actually have grown up online and to have social media accounts . We all say stupid things in our younger years and I'm no different from anyone else, and I regret what I said and I can't really say more than that."
He declined to be specific when discussing his political ambitions. "I'm not particularly interested in positions and in my own personal position in as much as I am ambitious to actually do things and make a difference," he said. "I'm ambitious in my politics and the kind of society I'd like us to build."
