Chicago Innovation Mentors receive $60,000 grant from Chicago Biomedical Consortium
Less than nine months after its launch, the Chicago Innovation Mentors (CIM) has received a $60,000 grant from the Chicago Biomedical Consortium, which is supported by the Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust.
"This speaks very loudly for CIM in that we can go from concept in November to attracting our first outside funder just nine months later," says Keith Terry, executive director of CIM.
A multi-institution initiative that cultivates university technology commercialization by matching experienced entrepreneurs, executives, and domain experts with innovative faculty, CIM supports biomedical opportunities from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago, in collaboration with the iBIO® Institute. All four groups are co-founders of CIM.
Already the program has grown from 25 mentors at its inception to nearly 60, with 20 mentoring projects currently underway.
The award will allow CIM, which has mainly operated with part-time support, to bring on a full-time operations manager.
"The impact will be profound because this employee will be able to focus specifically on improving the internal operations of CIM," Terry says. "It will also help us to become a lot more efficient in how we run the program, interact with our mentors, and track the program. It's a major benefit and a major win for us."
Executive Director of the Chicago Biomedical Consortium (CBC), Kathryn Stallcup, says her organization was impressed by the collaborative effort that gave rise to CIM and hopes that the grant will help foster the translation of promising research at each of the CBC universities.
"The CBC anticipates that CIM will continue to match entrepreneurial faculty at each campus with experienced mentors," she says. "The ideal outcome will be the launch of several companies that will translate research discoveries into new biotech companies; companies that, we hope, will be established here in the Chicago area."
Like the Chicago Innovation Mentors, CBC was established to stimulate collaboration among scientists at Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Chicago to support biomedical research.
"Innovation is a great driver of the global economy," Stallcup says. "While the CBC is focused on the Chicago area, breakthroughs in biomedicine can certainly have worldwide health impacts. It would be wonderful for Chicago to build an international reputation as a center of science-based innovation."

Since time immemorial, Ashwagandha or Withania somnifera is one of the herbs which have been used by people. It can be found in North America and several other regions around the globe. But ashwagandha is native to some areas of Asia. The plant comes from the Solanaceae family and typically found as a shrub with a stem in the middle and radial branches. Its flowers are tiny and have whitish green color while the ripe fruits are dark red in color. The plant consists of tuberous roots which are lengthy and color brown. Also, the fruit of this plant contains milk coagulating properties which are utilized for culinary purposes in some places. In the process of cheese making, some individuals use it as a substitute for rennet. But the most common usage of this plant is for medicinal purposes. Since Ashwagandha is one of the important herbs, it has been used in India's practice of traditional medicine called Ayurveda. It is also believed that this plant can be used as an herbal remedy in some other areas.
In the case of ginseng, ashwagandha is also thought as an adaptogen which provides relief from trauma and fatigue. It contains rejuvenating properties and is among the most well-known ayurvedic herbs which is used in an extensive range of tonics.
• The most significant use of ashwagandha is as an energy tonic which helps the user to fight against stress and fatigue.
• This herb contains sedative properties which can be helpful in combating insomnia. Some other herbs are used to combine with ashwagandha for the treatment of sleep problems.
• It is believed to enhance the immune system and provide stamina and energy, thus, decreasing the possibility of becoming ill. More often than not, this herb is prescribed by herbal practitioners for people with weak immune systems.
• In men, it is said to increase their sexual potency. Also, ashwagandha is used for the treatment of fertility problems among men. It is even used to treat arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. In some places, crushed leaves of this plant which are applied topically can be used to treat inflammation.
• Several people use ashwagandha to treat intestinal parasites. It is also assumed to aid in the formation and repair of tissues as well as to combat the process of aging.
• Furthermore, the herb is known to be beneficial for diabetic patients since it has the ability to improve one's sensitivity to insulin. This herb can also be used for effective treatment of type 2 diabetes.
• As stated by some studies, ashwagandha can be useful in the treatment of drug withdrawal, Parkinson's disease, some types of cancer such as breast and bone cancer as well as tuberculosis.
Although ashwagandha is considered safe to use, if high doses are used for a prolonged period of time, this can lead to some potential side effects. The most frequent side effects are drowsiness, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. If consumed in high doses, this can result to flatulence, gastrointestinal problems and digestive problems.

- Broncos vs. Colts live blog: Peyton Manning returns; Von Miller too
INDIANAPOLIS — For six weeks, Peyton Manning was a living, breathing crutch.
Blow coverages too often? Lose your man? Get yourself a new and improved, 100 percent reliable Peyton Manning. It might cost you millions, but it's worth it for your so-so defense. Call today!
The Manning infomercial now needs an asterisk. There's a slight defect in that it's not always perfect, and even if the Broncos teased at a comeback late Sunday before losing 39-33, one thing was apparent: Even with Von Miller back, the Broncos' defense can't hold itself up on its own two feet.
"It hurts," Miller said. "I really wanted to go out there and get one for (Manning)."
On paper, Sunday looked if not good, then better than it has been.
On paper, middle linebacker Wesley Woodyard was coming back, as was Miller, and cornerback Champ Bailey had a week to get his legs. Funny thing, though: Woodyard was inactive, and Bailey reinjured his left foot.
Add in three turnovers and Manning's rattled play through the middle of the game, and the Broncos' defense, even if it didn't look as lackluster as it has in the past, was charged with clawing its way out of a 12-point halftime deficit. It figured things out as the game went on, sure, but thanks to mistakes from the offense, it was too little, too late.
This defense doesn't deal in deficits. There were bright spots — that second-half resurgence, a pass rush that coach John Fox said looked good for it being the complete unit's first time out — but the hole was too deep.
"I thought our (pass) rush was better than it's been, so I thought the unit (with Miller) looked pretty good for our first time out," Fox said.
Even Miller wasn't enough to navigate through the foreign territory of clawing back. It wasn't that the defense couldn't stop the Colts — this wasn't Dallas-level ineptitude — but rather the Broncos gave the Colts too many chances.

"We just beat ourselves," cornerback Chris Harris said. "We had an opportunity to win the game, and we just made too many mistakes. We probably made more mistakes tonight than we have all season long together."
Before Sunday, Denver's defense was allowing an average of 69.8 rushing yards per game. Omit the 166-yard rushing performance the Eagles put up in Week 4, and that average goes down to 50.6. On Sunday, that blew up.
Behind Andrew Luck, the Colts blazed through the Broncos' defense for 334 yards, 121 rushing. Granted, the defense had to be tired — turnovers will do that — but exhaustion doesn't excuse a lack of poise. Whatever momentum Denver had early from two sacks of Luck — one by Shaun Phillips for a loss of 8 yards, the other by Terrance Knighton for a loss of 7 — had disintegrated by the third quarter, as had the defense's discipline.
It wasn't pretty.
When the Colts went up 33-14 with a touchdown in the third quarter, both Knighton and Kevin Vickerson were charged with unsportsmanlike conduct, adding insult to injury. Queen's "We Will Rock You" blared from the speakers at Lucas Oil Stadium, and the underdogs and their upstart quarterback had figured out not only how to undo the NFL's best quarterback of 2013, but also how to neutralize the excitement surrounding Miller's return.
In the game the team wanted nothing more than to win for its quarterback, neither luck nor opportunity was on its side.
Queen was right. Even if there have been bad breaks and bad luck, for much of the game, these guys got rocked.
Joan Niesen: firstname.lastname@example.com or twitter.com/joanniesen
Can't catch a break
Champ Bailey's injury: The cornerback left the game in the second quarter with an aggravation of his left foot sprain.
Wesley Woodyard's injury: After telling the media all week he would play, the linebacker was inactive.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's injury: The cornerback was evaluated with a shoulder injury in the first half, although he returned.
Turnovers: Trindon Holliday committed a special-teams fumble and Manning was sacked and then fumbled. Both plays resulted in Indianapolis scores.

Why children should be muzzled, and other news.
In the news this week! A Long Island couple might be going to jail. Why? Because their kids are too loud, silly.
William and Rachel Poczatek have been charged with violating a noise code "usually reserved for 'the shouting and crying of peddlers, hawkers, and vendors.'" In fact the noise was coming from their two daughters, ages 5 and 11, who were not hawking or peddling, but instead were cavorting (loudly, one assumes) around the family pool.
On a personal note, not only does this story come from my birthplace of Long Island, it happened in Bayville, the very town in which I was born and raised. I tell you, I haven't been this proud since Billy Joel crashed into a neighbor's house. As an erstwhile native of this beachfront community, I can safely say that the locals—much less the peoples of Long Island–are not known for speaking in dulcet tones. So for the neighbors to complain to the family and authorities for over three years, there had to be something truly amazing going on around this pool. How did the parents stand it? Maybe they need their hearing checked. I'm concerned for them. On the other hand, maybe the children shrieking continuously while enjoying the family pool is a safety measure. As long as they're shrieking, you don't have to worry.You can be inside, drinking your mint juleps, watching your stories. Not that the parents were doing that, but, you know. I likes to imagine.
Yeah. So! In medical news, breast cancer could come from your dad! Hello, dear friends whose mother and maternal grandmother have no history of the disease—don't look so smug. You may still have plenty to worry about.
A new study shows that fully half of genetic breast cancers are passed down from the father's side. Unless your father has female relatives who have had breast cancer, the gene could be carried silently (male breast cancer being significantly less common). In other words, no one in your family might ever develop breast cancer, but you could still have the genetic marker for it.
Why does this matter? I'll tell you why, sassypants. (?) Currently, breast cancer patients with a family history of the disease are generally tested for the BRCA gene mutation. With the results of this study, doctors and their patients may have more luck convincing insurance companies to cover the expense of genetic testing even if there is no evidence of family history. It's important to determine if you carry the BRCA gene mutation, because if you do, you have a higher chance of developing cancer in the other breast or in the ovaries, and preventative surgery might well be a next step.
Finally, a mind-boggling story in Slate this week: a judge bans the word "rape" from his courtroom. And that's not all. Nebraska Judge Jeffre Cheuvront granted a motion from defense attorneys to bar, in addition to the word rape, the words sexual assault, victim, assailant, and sexual assault kit from the trial of Pamir Safi, who was accused of raping Tory Bowen in October 2004. So what's left?
Apparently, in this court, an act of mutual consent and a violent crime are synonymous.
Dalia Lithwick, the article's author, writes that Bowen had to testify at Safi's first trial (which ended in a deadlock) without using the words rape or sexual assault. "She claims, not unreasonably, that describing what happened to her as sex is almost an assault in itself."
Why were these words banned? Because they're too inflammatory.According to the accused's lawyer, the word "rape" draws a legal conclusion "that's for the jury to decide."
Worse, still, than the ban on these words, is this: the jury will not be informed of the ban. They will be left to wonder why "sex", or "intercourse," both words as laden with implication as "rape," are being used to describe an allegedly horrific crime.
I have enough indignation about this to clog the entire Internet with my vitriol, but all I can manage is a lot of all-caps incoherence. Anyway, outrage has already been expressed by the eloquent-as-always Twisty Faster. I bow to her greatness, and send you there. But then come back to comment here.
3 Responses to "Why children should be muzzled, and other news."
As disgusting and unfortunate as this ruling is, a skilled prosecutor should be able to use it to his/her advantage. By eliminating those words, they will need to concentrate on a straight, factual re-telling of events…so instead of using the word "rape," which is itself a label for a violent, non-consensual sexual act, they will be required to describe the precise nature of the specific act in this case. So the prosecutor must say "the defendant is charged with forcibly engaging in non-consensual intercourse with the plaintiff against her will while she was unconscious," every time they would otherwise have used the word "rape." Surely, and rightfully, more likely to upset a jury than just the word rape on its own, which, if handled properly by the prosecutor, could come away with no more power than "yadda yadda yadda," due to its lack of innate specificity. Of course, this is a blind, stupid and misogynistic decision, and the prosecutors could have chosen the above tactic without being censored, but it is something.
I am curious, though — isn't the charge still "rape," or at least "sexual assault"? How can the name of the legal charge itself be eliminated from a courtroom?
Oh, yeah. I would LOVE to have the job of rewriting the account of the crime using "OK" words which would actually cause much more jury squirming than the ones being banned. An exercise like this might very well work a whole lotta bile right outta my system.
Maybe I should check with local courts and see if my services are in demand…

To check the surface of a panel for twists or warps, many woodworkers use winding sticks. You lay two straight-edged sticks on the panel and sight across the top edges of the sticks. If the panel isn't flat, the edges of the sticks won't appear to be parallel. I've used this method in the past, but as I've gotten older, my eyesight doesn't allow me to focus on both sticks at once.
To overcome this problem, I punch a small hole (less than 1/32") in a note card. Sighting through this "pinhole aperture," as shown, increases the depth of field and brings everything into clear focus. I use the same technique to sight along the edge of boards to check them for straightness.

The Blount Partnership is an economic development agency which represents the cities of Alcoa, Maryville, and Blount County in the state of Tennessee. The agency, which is funded by the three participating government entities, aims to bring investments and create jobs in the area it serves. The youth unemployment rate in the county served by the Blount Partnership is 24.2%. As a participant in the Alcoa Foundation's Global Internship Program for Unemployed Youth, Blount Partnership will receive $125,000 to provide a customized workforce development program for 60 unemployed youth. To deliver the program, the Blount Partnership will collaborate with the Adult Education Foundation of Blount County.
Learn more about the Blount Partnership
The program will begin with a two-week Workforce Readiness and Counseling module. During the two weeks, participants will meet for four hours per day, five days a week for a total of 40 hours. The focus of this portion of the program will be on the development of soft skills such as communication skills, time management, acting as a team player, and accepting and learning from criticism. Instruction will come from a variety of sources, but a primary source will be role play, incorporating a variety of employment-setting scenarios. The Blount Partnership instructors will run through different simulations with the participants followed by discussions about appropriate responses to each situation. Over time, the instructors will enable participants to learn appropriate professional conduct for a variety of common employment situations.
In addition, during this module, participants will begin to prepare for the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) test. NCRC is a certificate that verifies to employers that an individual has the essential core employability skills to be successful in the workplace. Topics for the NCRC include reading for information, applied mathematics, and locating information. The preparation for the NCRC test will also be a means to improving math and problem solving skills that can be important in a manufacturing setting.
In the second module, participants will complete a 100 hour (minimum) internship experience with a manufacturer. Participants will be given a choice of internship opportunities and will be able to select based on their interest. The internships will primarily take place at small to medium-sized manufacturing companies, with special emphasis placed on minority and woman-owned businesses. During the internship, participants will be introduced to the manufacturing environment, be exposed to at least two different areas of the manufacturing process, and learn in the areas of job safety and project work.
The third module, Career Planning and Placement, will span approximately five weeks. During this module, Blount Partnership staff will assist participants with preparing their resumes. The just-completed internships and any specific certifications obtained from the internship will be reflected on the resume. Career counselors will guide participants through the job search process. Sources for this will include job search web sites, job listings through the Blount Partnership Career Center, community contacts maintained by counselors and staff, and newspapers.
In addition, organization staff will conduct mock interviews with participants. The interviews will be video-taped and subsequently analyzed and discussed in order to help participants learn how to successfully manage the job interview process.
Throughout the third module, participants will continue to study for the NCRC, making progress toward readiness for testing. A proctor will come to the Blount Partnership site during the last week of the module to administer the NCRC test. Students will have results the next day and resumes will be updated to incorporate this new credential.
The program will conclude with a mandatory Career Fair comprised of the companies that hosted the internships as well as other local manufacturers. Through this experience, participants will have the opportunity to network with potential employers and apply for positions in the manufacturing field.

Soldiers train to use forensic science to catch insurgents
December 9, 2009
Story Highlights
- Soldiers with the 2nd Engineer Battalion will use modern investigative techniques to locate and capture insurgents when they deploy next year
WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. (Dec. 3, 2009) -- Soldiers with the 2nd Engineer Battalion will use modern investigative techniques to locate and capture insurgents when they deploy next year.
Like something out of the popular crime scene investigation television programs, members of the 2nd Engineer Battalion are analyzing evidence from enemy activities to determine their locations, motives and activities.
Using the battalion's time at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., intelligence officers like 2nd Lt. Mathew Peterson had a chance to practice their skills at identifying and evaluating enemy activities by analyzing evidence found on the battlefield.
"What I'm looking for are things that can put me in the enemies shoes, so that I can figure out that they're eating this kind of food, or using this kind of stuff that comes from a store in (one specific town) rather than (another). That way we can know what routes they're using, what kinds of cars to look for, which people, and what kind of IEDs they make," Peterson said as he examined a discarded battery he found near a road with IED activity.
Analyzing evidence like this can go a long way towards helping keep routes clear, as well as help U.S. and Allied forces as a whole identify who the enemy is and how to best combat them. "If (our Soldiers) bring in something like wires, that are a specialty to shops in (a certain town), then I can answer the question - 'Where are the enemy coming from'' Answering two or three questions like that helps Peterson identify the enemy.
Part of what makes Peterson's investigations so effective is coordination with other units. This allows him to gather intelligence and forensic data about the larger operating environment. "We have all kinds of different systems that help us integrate information not just from our battalion, but from other battalions in the area," Peterson said.
One of Peterson's goals is to expand the Soldiers' definition of what is considered valuable evidence. Currently Soldiers tend to focus on the actual explosives found in the IEDs, Peterson wants them to learn to include other materials that could be useful to insurgents. "I'm trying to expand the mindset to realize that even something as small as a nine volt battery could have been in a detonator and for all we know there's a fingerprint on there that I can trace back to somebody," Peterson said.
Once he has access to evidence Peterson and his team can start analyzing it or leveraging other resources outside of his unit to help determine its value as a source of information. "One of my guys is battlefield forensics trained and he knows how to handle these things. He makes sure they get to the teams that can do the right laboratory analysis," Peterson said.
Taking part in the deployment readiness exercise at NTC has given Peterson a chance to make use of the wide range of materials that might not be available when conducting training exercises on White Sands Missile Range. "At White Sands I can do things in theory, but I don't actually have someone calling (me) up with real enemy network set up with connected personalities and things where they're actually setting up IEDs," Peterson said.

Comments On Jan 18, 2015:Don't know if I used too much heat but I certainly didn't use too little... letters did not stick well to my new Answer Synchron jersey. Followed the directions closely. Must be the Synchron. Be cautioned... Also, our last name has only 6 letters and I had to lower it on the back of the jersey to get it to fit. I would have ordered the narrow letter kit had I known. Otherwise the lettering kit looks good.

Environmentalists have criticised David Cameron for his 'disingenuous' attempt to blame energy price rises on green levies.
Following the UK parliamentary vote against military intervention in Syria, an MP has called for a redoubling of humanitarian support.
Westminster's only Green MP has warned that an attack on Syria could have severe consequences for civilians, and for the Middle East region.
Despite what may or may not be discovered by the UN Inspectors in Syria in the days to come, all the signs are that Obama and Cameron are not in any mood to pause, says Caroline Lucas MP. She sets out details of her own parliamentary motion on the subject, and issues a call to the Prime Minister to publish solid legal advice.
The Green member of parliament for Brighton Pavilion, Caroline Lucas, has been arrested with others in Balcombe on an anti-fracking protest.
Environmentalists say MPs must struggle for a proper decarbonisation target and support for smaller generators to break the 'Big 6' energy deadlock.
Green MP Caroline Lucas has criticised the appointment of Conservative climate sceptic Peter Lilley to a key environmental scrutiny role.
New legislation is needed to ensure that England's public woods and forests are safe from future attempts at a Government sell off.
Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green Party in England and Wales, says she will not seek re-election in order to "broaden opportunities for others" in her party.
A report on fracking for shale gas commissioned by the DECC, recommending that the drilling method be allowed to continue, has been criticised.

diet of robber crabThough the robber crab is known in popular lore for its ability to use its massive pincers (chelae) to crack open coconuts, it is likely that this is a myth. While the robber crab will feed on meat from coconuts that have already cracked or been opened by other animals, studies of captive crabs have demonstrated that the creatures do not possess the strength to penetrate the tough husk and...
fat contentBotanically, nuts are actually a kind of fruit, but they are quite different in character with their hard shell and high fat content. The coconut, for example, contains some 60 percent fat when dried. Olives are another fruit rich in fat and are traditionally grown for their oil.
production by coconut palmCoconut fruits float readily and have been dispersed widely by ocean currents and by humans throughout the tropics; they probably originated somewhere in Indo-Malaya. Marco Polo was among the first Europeans to describe coconuts.
significance of
coirseed-hair fibre obtained from the outer shell, or husk, of the coconut, the fruit of Cocos nucifera, a tropical plant of the Arecaceae (Palmae) family. The coarse, stiff, reddish brown fibre is made up of smaller threads, each about 0.01 to 0.04 inch (0.03 to 0.1 centimetre) long and 12 to 24 microns (a micron is about 0.00004 inch) in diameter, composed of lignin, a woody plant...
copradried sections of the meat of the coconut, the kernel of the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Copra is valued for the coconut oil extracted from it and for the resulting residue, coconut-oil cake, which is used mostly for livestock feed.
uses...the greatest importance in world commerce are the coconut and the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis); both are prime sources of vegetable oil and fat. Few plants are as versatile as the coconut. The husk of the fruit is the source of coir, used for ropes and mats; the hard inner fruit layer (endocarp) is used as fuel and to make charcoal, cups, bottles, and trinkets; coconut...Vegetable seeds produced primarily as a source of oil for human food and industrial uses include soybeans, peanuts (groundnuts), flaxseed (linseed), canola, cottonseed, coconuts, oil palm, and sunflower seeds.

Will Durst: Partisan Witch Hunts On YouTubeWritten by BuzzFlash
Strap on your seat belts and nuke some popcorn because we got ourselves a Battle Royale between the two gnarliest branches of government that a tree has ever seen. In the left hand corner, back from wandering in the wilderness, the Democrats are just itching to exercise their rediscovered clout. Over in the right hand corner, after six years of unchallenged rule, the Executive branch is not taking kindly having to answer to mere mortals. It's Countdown to a Crisis! The stoppable force versus the movable object.

Due to a spate of recent negative publicity, the airline industry has embarked on a public relations blitz aimed at reversing the public's perception that flight service has sunk to the level of a winged Greyhound with holes in the floorboards. Good luck. I can't believe it took this long for people to finally flip out because over the last couple of years, we frequent flyers have become so accustomed to being treated like fleshy baggage, some of us have spontaneously sprouted handles.

Better strap a hair spray filter over your mouth, because it's red carpet season everybody. That blessed time of the year when mere mortals like us derive major entertainment value from watching famous singers, actors, starlets, athletes, has-beens and other celebrity wannabes strut and pout and smirk and flaunt and blandish blatant attempts at replicating sincerity during that tiny window of their career that occurs between hiring a big league publicist and having had so much plastic surgery, they start to frighten small children and weasels, by which I mean their agents.

In a stunning announcement that shook capitals and media centers around the globe, White House press Secretary Tony Snow read a simple statement at an extraordinary 2 a.m. press conference last night revealing that George W Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, has entered an undisclosed medical facility for therapy. No further information was forthcoming as to whether the treatment was for emotional distress, drug or alcohol abuse or just an "executive timeout" but an eyewitness claims the decision for the President to enter rehab was anything but voluntary.

Usually you make it to January 1, take a deep breath, look back on the old year and realize there was a fairly equal balance of what you call your good and your bad. The last couple of years (6- to be exact) have tilted a bit towards the latter. But 2006? Holy moley catfish. Subtract the single sublime 24 hour period of time that was November 7th from the other 8,736 hours we slogged through, and you got yourself a awfully grisly swamp of an annum. 2006 was to years what OJ Simpson is to manners and propriety seminars. Like Paris Hilton and advanced trigonometry texts. Michael Richards and Martin Luther King Dinner Keynote Speeches. I could go on.

The ones regularly washed over by the holiday faucet of red and green bile dreading the solstice celebration as it drips down the drain of melancholy revealing the regurgitated fruit of of our greed and gluttony. But then again, what the hell. Pass me a cookie and another glass of nog and let's just enjoy the whole thing, shall we? And go easy on the nutmeg and heavy on the whiskey, mister. Because its time to just sit back and relax. Xmas is still with us, as we are repeatedly reminded by the television ads partially obscured by the coffee table high wrapping paper detritus. So to honor all you brave and steadfast consumers who set new records this year in your patriotic quest to sink heavily into debt to honor the birth of that Jewish hippie kid, let me offer up to the least deserving of us my annual scathingly incisive yet perennially trenchant ...

The latest form of political theater descending on DC is the crying of crocodile tears. And this season's nominations for biggest mock drops are destined to be swept by Beltway players in their demonstration of their fake concern for South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson. Phony sanctimony has long been a staple of the American way of life. Each of us had an aunt whose major talent was feigning fawning sympathy. Usually she had a mole.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle Richards Wish Brandi Glanville Happy Birthday — Who Did She Respond To?
It was Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville's birthday over the weekend, and her co-stars took to Twitter to wish her a happy one. So whose messages did Brandi respond to?
Brandi turned 41 on November 16, and Kyle Richards — who is on good terms with Brandi these days — sent her a happy message that morning.
"Happy birthday @BrandiGlanville !!!," Kyle tweeted, to which Brandi responded two hours later, "Thanks, babe!"
Just before Kyle sent that, Lisa Vanderpump — who is not currently getting along with Brandi — had also sent her a birthday message. "A birthday should always be a day of positivity... @BrandiGlanville Happy birthday," Lisa tweeted.
And how did Brandi respond? Well, she didn't respond — at least, not for quite some time.
The next day, on November 17, former RHoBH cast member Camille Grammer reached out to Brandi, tweeting, "Happy Belated Birthday!" And Brandi tweeted back, "Thank uuiii."
Then, one of Brandi's Twitter followers saw this and wished Brandi could also thank Lisa for her message. "@BrandiGlanville now I will love you even more if you replied to @LisaVanderpump bday wish & put all this nutty Twitter talk to rest," Brandi's Twitter follower named @beesbudoir wrote.
Finally, Brandi obliged. "@beesbudoir @LisaVanderpump thank u," Brandi tweeted.
So how should we take this? Well, we think it's a good sign that Lisa went out of her way to wish Brandi a happy birthday, and we're also proud of Brandi for thanking her. However, it's clear that Brandi wasn't quick to respond, meaning they still appear to be on the outs.
Do you think Lisa and Brandi will patch things up? And do you think Brandi should have responded more quickly to Lisa?

This park is beautiful especially during the week when they have fewer campers. Only 5 people using it for most of the week we were here. Locals fill it up pretty good on the weekends. Lots of small campers and tents. The park is about 30 minutes from any stores or services. That 30 minute drive from Pulaski is on roads that are pretty narrow. It would be tough in many spots to pass another larger RV without slowing to a crawl (if at that). Just before you get to the campsites, is a very steep left turn and you need to take care not to run into a ditch. Our 5th wheel is 32 feet and someone with a 35 foot 5th wheel made it in also. I'm told they don't get many motorhomes due to length. All that being said, I think we liked the park more than any other we have been in. It's a beautiful place. - srfnut
Jul 2007 - $25.00
Because we live nearby, we have camped here many times. It's a beautiful and peaceful campground that is pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. The sites are generally spacious and level, and include a concrete pad, fire ring and picnic table. There is one bathhouse in the campground which is very old but is adequately clean. Metal fishing boats are available to rent for a small charge. There is a playground for the kids but no swimming area or other amenities. Although it's a lovely campground, unless you enjoy fishing there's really not much to do here but enjoy the scenery. - kitten4762

A selection of photographs taken during a few months of stay at a building site.
Nikos K. Kantarakias was born in October 1976 in Athens, Greece. His family's origins are from the island of Skiathos where he currently spends most of his time. Raised among his father's oil paintings, canvases, brushes and lots of film slides he started drawing at an early age while he also tinkered with a Zenit SLR camera fascinated by the process of taking a photograph. From 2002 onwards, his involvement with photography became more intensive and his appreciation of the fine art photography grew through a series of seminars and personal study. He is a founding member of the Visual Poetry photography group and the PhotoMind community and a member of the Volos Photography Club. more: http://www.nikoskantarakias.com/bio.html

Why does my daughter have so much anxiety over my boyfriend?
My boyfriend and I have been together almost a year. My daughter and started out by staying at his house a couple nights a week and she did fine. It wasn't until we actually moved in that she started whining all the time. From the moment he walks in the door from work she constantly cries for mommy and says "I've got to go potty" because she knows she will get me alone that way. He has never been mean to her, he leaves the discipline to me. He's got an 8 year old daughter that he has raised himself so its the 4 of us. He great with my daughter - he tries to play with her and the only time that she really wants anything to do with him is when they're outside playing. What can I do to make things better? I need help! I can't keep dealing with the whining all the time. I just want her to be happy!!! It breaks my heart to see her upset.

This screams of a serious problem. How long have you lived there? I'd love to say it's just part of the adjustment period, but it seems to me that she's actually SCARED of him. You need to get to the bottom of this for the sake of your child (and possibly his child as well).posted 05/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My gut says there is something terribly wrong here. There is a reason your child doesnt like him. Probably a very good reason. Personally I wouldnt live with someone my daughter didnt like or was afraid of. Your daughter may not be able to express in words why she doesnt like him or what is going on but you need to listen to what her actions are telling you. Get her the hell away from him.posted 05/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
The first thing that entered my mind was "he's molesting this child." I would try to get to the bottom of the situation right away.posted 05/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
1. How old is your daughter? 2. Ask her why she doesn't like to be around him. Personally, if my child started out being okay with someone and then changed to having a massive aversion and doing everything in their power to be alone with me, I would seriously evaluate the situation. It sounds like something is seriously, seriously wrong. Normally, if a child sees that you're comfortable around another person, especially a person that's been in their life for almost a year, they will reciprocate the feeling. The fact that you're okay with him, but she clearly isn't screams MAJOR issue. Is she like that with all males or just him?posted 05/02/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
