Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Never turning his back on the theater, Eldard acted in two 1993 Off-Broadway productions, "Aven'U Boys" and "The Years", performed his one-man show "Standing Eight Count" for the Naked Angels Repertory and finally made it to Broadway as Terry Malloy (the role which earned Marlon Brando an Oscar) in the unsuccessful 1995 stage adaptation of Elia Kazan's "On the Waterfront". (Eldard's first Broadway experience had turned sour when playwright Neil Simon fired him on the spot after watching him work during an understudy run-through of "Biloxi Blues" in 1986.)

With cold and flu season already upon us, it is a good time to evaluate what things you can be doing to help your body fight off all the "bugs" out there.

4 Bay Area Parks Worth a Winter Visit (With No Crowds)
Exploring the seemingly endless number of great parks in the Bay Area may seem like a summertime thing, but winter is actually the best time of the year to benefit from the peace and quiet most parks have to offer. Go forth, find peace.
Weekend Adventure: Hike Carmel's Point Lobos
Part of the beauty of a getaway to Carmel is that while there's plenty to keep you busy, it's also easy to do a lot of nothing. Some shop, eat, and wine taste their way through town while others plant themselves on the beach refusing to leave before the sun goes down. But one of Carmel's best activities is also one of its better kept secrets – hiking at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve.
Visit the Bay Area's Most Beautiful Lighthouses
Lighthouses may have originally been designed to guide sailors, but these historic relics also serve as gorgeous beacons for a vista-filled roadtrip around the Bay Area.
Where to Pick Apples in the Bay Area
Within a short drive of the City, there are plenty of places to pick apples or just stock up on all the sweet things that are made from them! Hours and apple supplies can always change, so it's a good idea to call before you head out the door.
Where to Eat Well in Carmel
Carmel-by-the-Sea is a great place to visit, but be forewarned temptation is great here.
Get Your Thrills at These Bay Area Amusement Parks
Summer is prime amusement park season. In the Bay Area, thrill-seekers have plenty of options and lots of ground to cover. Where should you go first? Some new attractions might help you narrow down the choices.
A Toast to Women Winemakers in Sonoma County
There was a time when women winemakers were few and far between. Lucky for us, that time is long gone. Sonoma County gals who grow grapes are taking the Bay Area by storm and giving wine lovers delicious reasons to raise a glass.
Discover Mt. Diablo In Bloom After Fire
If you haven't been in a while, or if you've never been, the only thing you may know about Mount Diablo is what you saw on the news last fall when the Morgan Fire charred more than three thousand acres, most inside Mount Diablo State Park. The area had not seen a fire since the 1930s, and though much more rain is still needed, signs of recovery are sprouting all over the mountain.
We Wanna Be Friends With Three Twins Ice Cream Founder Neal Gottlieb
Our city is chock-full of interesting people and wild personalities. Overwhelmed by the coolness? Every week we'll pick one standout local we'd love to be friends with to answer seven essential questions about their life in San Francisco.
Celebrate All Things Cheese in Sonoma
Truth be told, life to the north of the Golden Gate might as well be country living to most city folk. Say what you will about it, the country still has some advantages even city purists can't deny, notably cheese and wine. You can get a gourmet taste of that country life this month at California's Artisan Cheese Festival.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- The Pentagon released details, on Sunday morning, about their capture of an Al Qaeda leader in Libya.
U.S. forces caught "longtime Al Qaeda member" Abu Anas al Libi on Saturday, in a military operation in Libya, officials said.
Libi has been taken to a "secure location" outside of Libya, military officials said.
"Wherever possible, our first priority is and always has been to apprehend terrorist suspects, and to preserve the opportunity to elicit valuable intelligence that can help us protect the American people," a Pentagon spokesperson said in a news release.
The Pentagon has connected Abu Anas al Libi has been connected to several attacks and plots around the world, including a plot to kill people in New York City, officials said.
"Abu Anas al Libi has been indicted in the Southern District of New York in connection with his alleged role in Al Qaeda's conspiracy to kill U.S.nationals and to conduct attacks against U.S. interests worldwide, which included Al Qaeda plots to attack U.S. forces stationed in Saudi Arabia,Yemen, and Somalia, as well as the U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya," officials said.
There were no U.S. injuries or casualties in the capture of Abu Anas al Libi.
The operation was approved by President Barack Obama, officials said.
"These actions are a clear sign that the United States is committed to using all the tools at our disposal to bring to justice those who commit terrorist acts against Americans," military officials said.

UPDATE -- November 30, 2011 5pm --
--GCSO Press Release --
The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office responded to 171 High Street, just outside of the city limits of Quincy, in reference to an attempted armed home invasion. A female 911 caller advised that several male subjects were attempting to forcefully enter her home while she was still inside. One of the male subjects attempted to enter the residence through a window when the victim pulled the mask from his face. The victim recognized the suspect as 20 year old Peter Joe Knight, Jr. of Quincy, Florida.
After several failed attempts to enter the residence the suspects fled in a vehicle, in which the victim was able to get a description and a partial license plate number. The vehicle was later spotted in area of CR 161 and Highway 12 in the St. Hebron Community. Deputies converged on the area and a foot pursuit of the suspects began with the suspects firing several shots. The foot pursuit continued on for several hours in northeast Quincy area with the Florida Highway Patrol and Florida Wildlife Commission Officers assisting. 21 year old Ryan Wade Massey of Jackson County was the first to be arrested in a wooded area near Hickory Hill Lane. Peter Joe Knight, Jr. was arrested moments later at the corner of St. Hebron Road and Pine Trail Lane. The K-9 track was called off after attempts to locate the third suspect were unsuccessful.
Shortly after the track ended, members of the community began reaching out to the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office with a location on the third suspect. GCSO investigators, K-9, patrol deputies, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Officers responded a residence off of Hickory Hill Lane surrounding the residence. When deputies attempted to make contact at the residence no one responded. One of GCSO investigators heard noises from inside of the residence and K-9 was ordered to be deployed into the residence after a positive confirmation that inside of the residence was 18 year old
Demontarivous A. Robinson, who is also a suspect in several home burglaries and robberies in the northeast Quincy area. Robinson surrendered to deputies as K-9 officer Dep. W. Buckhalt was about to deploy K-9 Dep. Kris into the residence. Robinson was arrested and transported to the Gadsden County Jail without incident.
November 30, 2011 - 3pm -
As of 3pm, the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office has arrested 3 of the home invasion suspects. The last one was picked up in NE Gadsden County. They are still searching for at least one more suspect.
Gadsden County, Florida - November 30, 2011 - 12:58pm
Law enforcement agencies in Gadsden County are on the hunt for at least one suspect in an attempted home invasion and robbery south of Quincy, Florida. Two suspects are believed to be in custody. Florida Highway Patrol troopers say shots have been fired.
A Gadsden County Sheriff's Office spokesperson says there was a home invasion at 171 High Street in Quincy where there were shots fired. Right now, law enforcement has been dispatched throughout the county looking for at least one suspect.
Stay with WCTV for details.

WASHINGTON – Franconia police are investigating what could be the 11th groping incident in the area.
At approximately 1:20 p.m. Wednesday, a woman was allegedly grabbed from behind near the intersection of Amherst and Cumberland avenues.
The suspect fled, but is described as a man of unknown race and about 5-foot-9. He was wearing a black T-shirt, khaki pants and a blue hat.
A possible 10th incident was reported earlier this week in Springfield.

Tallinn, a major freight and passenger port and the capital of Estonia, is located on the Gulf of Finland near Helsinki. The city has almost completely preserved the historic layout of the XV century and many architectural monuments of that time. The most beautiful part of Tallinn - the Old Town - is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Old Town includes such monuments as the Church of St. Olav, the Dominican Monastery, the Dome Cathedral, the Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and, of course, the Tallinn City Hall. A significant part of the Old Town is Toompea, where in the Middle Ages Toompea Order Castle was built. A flag waving on top of one of the main castle towers (the tower is called "Tall Herman") is one of the symbols of Estonia. The symbol of the city is the Old Thomas - a weather vane mounted on the top of the Town Hall tower. In addition to historical and art museums there is also a medieval torture museum and a museum of occupations. In the former St. Nicholas Church you can see the world famous painting by Bernard Notke "Dance of Death." But the most valuable is the unique medieval atmosphere: small shops, mysterious fairy houses and almonds with spices sold on every corner will leave no one indifferent.
ClimateIn Tallinn there is the transition from temperate maritime to continental temperate climate with cool summers and changeable winters. The average annual temperature is about 5 degrees Celsius. The annual average relative humidity is 80%.
An international фirport named after Lennart Merry is located near the city center. From Tallinn Central Station depart many coaches. The city has 4 tram, 8 trolleybus and 62 bus routes.

Undertaker vs Wyatt
As many of you already know, Bray Wyatt has been cutting some vague promos during episodes of Monday Night Raw over the past couple of weeks. That has led fans to speculate on a potential big time match at Wrestlemania against Undertaker. That is exactly what WWE wants you to do. Management has even taken things a step further by having their writers come up with articles on the website that tease that very same match.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) -- Mice in a high dollar Bethesda cookie boutique, a Chinese restaurant shut down for the second time in a year, and a liquor store ordered to stop selling food are all in this week's Food Alert documenting violations experts say could make you sick.
Inspectors closed Cookies by Design on Cordell Ave. in Bethesda, Ren's Ramen on Amherst in Wheaton, and Skip Liquors on 61 St. NE.
In Bethesda, at Cookies by Design, the manager blamed a rodent closure on a disgruntled employee and asked us to wait 24 hours before we could look inside their kitchen.
Even after Cookies by Design passed re-inspection, resumed cookie sales and made us wait a day before looking, we still found mouse droppings behind the cookie pans, near the refrigerators and in the center of the store.
Inspectors reported seeing a live mouse.
The owner said she believed the droppings we found were simply missed from their clean-up and said she is doing everything health officials requested.
According to the report, inspectors came to Cookies by Design because someone complained about seeing a mouse inside the cookie store.
In Wheaton, we've reported on a health department closure at Ren's Ramen before.
Inspectors closed the Chinese restaurant in August for operating with a sewage back-up caused by a neighboring restaurant.
This time, inspectors ordered Ren's closed for operating without hot water.
It passed re-inspection both times and when we arrived, they allowed us to test their hot water temperature.
Our thermometer recorded compliance - about 20 degrees above the Maryland minimum of 100.
On 61st St NE, inspectors suspended the food license at Skip's Liquors citing dirty conditions, four inches of water on the floor and a facility in disrepair.
The manager said repairs will allow him to quickly meet code and continue selling food.
If you see something unsanitary while you're at an eating establishment, your report would like generate an inspection.

Angelina Love naked
Rumors are floating around that there are Angelina Love naked photos in existence. Thus far, none have surfaced online. The ones being passed around by the internet wrestling community are generally fake ones. At most, the TNA Knockout has posed topless before, but in those instances, she usually has something covering up her magnificent breasts. The closest that we will get to seeing her completely nude is photographs of her wearing a skimpy bikini.

Let's Play 'Flight of the Amazon Queen'
I first purchased this game as a 13 year old kid, back in 1995. Although I have completed it a couple of times, it's been many years since I last did so. Therefore, replaying this game is sure to feel rather fresh.
The only other thing I want to say before we begin is that I genuinely enjoy playing this game and have very fond memories of it. I only say this because the tone of this let's play will be fairly humorous and at times, playfully mocking but I wouldn't want anyone to think that I was slagging off the game.
Without further adieu, let's get started...
The game certainly doesn't try to break convention as we start on a cut-scene; where we find our smart mouthed hero, Joe King (it's best to get used to the cringe inducing puns in this game), pilot for hire, tied up in a warehouse with his date.
The reason they are tied up is because the lady is the girlfriend of a walking cliché of a mob boss. He found out about his girl's infidelity and was none too pleased to say the least. Also, it's interesting to see that Prince has an uncredited cameo as the gangster on the right!
"You Dirty Rat!"
The gangster has avoided common sense by failing to shoot them (well actually common sense would be filing for divorce but gangsters are prone to becoming a bit grumpy) and has instead rigged up a bomb to explode. It looks like curtains for our dating couple and the tension is palpable. Of course this is still the opening cinematic, so we know that Joe will be okay.
Our saving grace comes in the form a very ungraceful entrance. Standing in a bathtub (for some inexplicable reason) is our good pal, Sparky; who enters by crashing through the roof.
The warehouse explodes moments after we make our escape, with the mob boss still inside. You'd think that he would have vacated the premises considering he set the bomb to go off but I've come to the conclusion that he probably suffers from short term memory loss.
Rather than taking a much deserved day off work, Joe is more concerned with collecting his latest paying passenger; the famous movie star, Faye Russel. You certainly couldn't say that he's not dedicated to his job.
However, once we arrive at the venue where Faye is staying we find Anderson standing in her dressing room. Everyone has an arch-nemesis; David has Goliath, Holmes has Moriarty, Wile E. Coyote has Road Runner and Joe has Anderson (a rival pilot for hire).
Anderson explains that he intends to steal Faye away from us, as his own passenger. He then locks the door (which is made of solid steal... um, why?!), thus trapping us in the room.
And so the true adventure begins. Currently Joe is carrying his diary (used to save and load games) and a baseball bat. I'm not sure as to why Joe carries a bat with him. Maybe he's prone to a spot of impromptu baseball!
"Nah, I carry this partly out of... I don't know. What's the word?"
I decide that the bat may be put to good use by smashing the window to the right but Joe informs me that it's made of bullet-proof glass! This is getting ridiculous, why in tarnation does Faye Russel need a solid steal door and a bullet-proof glass window?! Is she a high priority target for the assassins of the world? I can only assume that she's received death threats from an obsessed fan (the same kind that I regularly send to Charlize Theron).
Seeming as I can't break the window, perhaps I can shout to my pal Sparky for help, who's stood outside reading his favourite comic, 'Commander Rocket'. My attempts to gain his attention are fruitless however because the glass is not only bullet-proof but also sound-proof (but of course).
All is not lost however as upon picking up some sheets strewn across the floor, I discover a laundry shoot. Now call me over-zealous when it comes to health and safety if you like, but isn't a GIANT FUCKING HOLE IN THE GROUND just a tad dangerous?! Never-mind, at least it's an escape route.
I knot the two sheets together, tie them to the nearby radiator and descend the chute.
... hold on! If I'm simply sliding down the chute, then why in blazes did I need to tie together those sheets?! Ho hum, a slide's always fun so I'm not going to complain.
Being the sex crazed (and starved) maniac that I am, the first thing that I'm interested in investigating are these novelty boobies (heh heh... boobies)! I pick up a pair (they might come in handy on a cold, lonely winters night) and admire the unbeatable craftsmanship...
"Unbeatable? Au contraire."
Anywayyyyyy... I take the stairs up to the lobby but unfortunately my escape route is being guarded by a couple more gangsters. I immediately spy a rather handy key on the bell boy's desk and attempt to pick it up. Naturally, the staff is not going to let that happen so I talk to him and exhaust all of the dialogue options but to no avail.
I also try to press the bell on the desk but it cannot be achieved, which is a shame because I love to ring the desk bell multiple times in adventure games when the assistant is already standing there. It usually winds them up to no end! You've missed a trick here, developers.
It's worth pointing out that the bell boy's voice sounds like a cross between these two...
Kermit the Frog (anthropomorphised frog thing)
Beek Nariz (the elephant man's uglier brother)
... You'd think that the manager of the venue would want to have someone with a slightly less ludicrous voice manning the front desk but clearly the manager is an equal opportunities employer, so I'm not going to berate him for being a nice chap.
Feeling as though I'm now out of options, I attempt to sneak past the gangsters but they spot me. The short one sounds just like Marlon Brando and the tall one looks like David Prowse in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (as evidenced at 2:15 in this clip). Therefore, I shall henceforth refer to them as Brando & Prowse.
Brando & Prowse lock me back in Faye's room and... remove my clothes. They claim that this might discourage me from attempting to escape again but quite frankly, I have my suspicions that they're just a couple of horny perverts!
I then spend the next 10 minutes wondering back and forth between the different areas, absolutely clueless as to what I need to do next. Out of desperation, I try interacting with every object in every logical way possible... still no luck.
Then I try talking to the bell boy again, only to find a new dialogue option. It turns out that you have to look at the key before this option will appear! Grr... bloody adventure games!
Anyway, now that I have the key to the dressing room; I head on down there...
... to be confronted by Joe's ex-girlfriend, Lola. She's awful mad at Joe for dumping her and the two have a humorous back and forth.
Lola hops in to the shower and conveniently has her private areas covered by patches of steam on the glass (how very 'Austin Powers'). Lola agrees to help us escape if we retrieve a towel for her (I guess she's rather easily pleased). Luckily, I have one to hand and Lola soon explains her plan to us.
The plan is to dress me Joe up in ladies clothing, so that I can pass the gangsters upstairs unnoticed. Joe attaches the boobies (heh heh... boobies), puts on a wig found in Faye's room and slips on the dress.
A 'Maniac Mansion' style cut-scene is triggered...
... in which we are introduced to a quite clearly insane Doctor named Ironstein (I did warn you about the awful puns). However, for the purposes of this let's play, I shall call him Dr. Fruitloop.
Speaking to his lackey, Dr. Fruitloop explains his retarded genius master plan to turn Amazonian women into dinosaur people. I'm sure it's a dream we've all had at some point or another, right alongside world peace and sleeping with Charlize Theron.
In order to show the process of the transformation to the player his lackey, Dr. Fruitloop fires up the machine...
"Transmogrification process initiated."
I couldn't help but notice that the sound that the machine makes is the same iconic sound effect made by the opening of doors in 'Doom'. Tsk tsk, developers!
Dr. Fruitloop then explains that he will now activate the 'Aggression Enhancer'...
... but he's clearly not left the beta stage of development yet!
Sadly for Dr. Fruitloop (but thankfully for the women of the Amazon) he's run out of test subjects. Unfortunately that's not going to stop an ambitious young ancient go-getter like Dr. Fruitloop though...
Seriously, this guy's so corny that I'm surprised the developers didn't have him cackle in an evil manner...
... oh, they did.
The cut-scene has finished and we return to Joe Joanne, as we prepare to exit the hotel. We succeed and Sparky drives us away but the goons do a double-take and realise that was no lady!
Marlon & Prowse give chase and open fire at Joe. Because this is an adventure game, they're shots are less on target than a blind Stormtrooper's.
"Hey! I'd totally blow your head off for that remark... if I wasn't such a rubbish shot!"
Luckily there's a canister of oil on the back of the truck, so I chuck it at the car and it's "adios amigos". That just leaves one thing; for Joe to make a Schwarzenegger-esque quip...
Pure poetry!
We catch up with Anderson (the cad!) just as he's about to fly away with Faye using our plane (the extra-double-bastard cad).
Joe uses his subtle negotiation skills to... punch Anderson out cold. Sparky then appears to join us on our flight.
Nuts! Our plane has been hit by lightning and it looks like we're going down...
Hmm, I sense the beginning of a familiar relationship ...
Well, that's it for Part 1.

A new home needing lots of work
1 2 Next page >
Q. We just bought a home and are finding out that there are many problems with it. We had an inspection for termites, and an engineer and our title company reported that everything was OK. Two days after we moved in, there was a sewage backup in the first-floor bathroom that seeped into the floor tile, the basement ceiling and inside the finished basement wall below. Then, when the walls were opened, we discovered termite damage, and damaged floor and wall beams cut into by a plumber who left chunks of concrete in the basement ceiling and even one of his tools. Next we filed for a permit to renovate the finished basement, and discovered that it had no permit, and we would have to put in a large window well to get out of it in an emergency. The cost for all this is estimated at around $30,000. Our attorney told us there's little we can do because the problems were all unable to be seen before closing. Is that true? Shouldn't the title company, the attorney, the engineer or the owner have disclosed them?

Yesterday morning I received an urgent e-mail from Mikael saying that Marie, his co-blogger and Copenhagen cycle fashionista in crime had taken a one day detour to Amsterdam on her EuRail trip through Europe. He asked me to meet up with her, knowing very well we'd have a ball.
And he was right, obviously. Marie is a sweetheart, great company and a hoot to ride around with. Naturally, I strategically whipped out my phone camera and recorded it all for digital eternity.
From my 'Copenhagen Cycle Chic Meets Amsterdamize' photoset:
Here's what happened during our cycle-tour-and-talk moments of that splendid day. We also tried a quick live mobile tv broadcast from the upper terrace of The Blue Tea House in Vondelpark, talking to Mikael.
Don't forget, you can see all of Amsterdamize Bicycle TV right here.
Marie traveled to Marseilles, France today. She reckoned she won't be cycling much. I can only hope she does…for the sake of Marseilles :).

2011-12 Butler Women's Basketball
Butler vs. St. Francis (Exh.)
Sunday, Oct. 30 - 2 p.m. ET
Hinkle Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Ind.
Tickets: FREE
After four straight 20-win seasons and three straight WNIT appearances, the Butler women's basketball team begins its season with an exhibition game Sunday, Oct. 30 against St. Francis University. The tip for Sunday's exhibition is 2 p.m. ET.
Butler returns seven letterwinners from last year's 20-14 squad that made the WNIT. The Bulldogs also added four highly-regarded freshmen this year. Additionally, Butler will be boosted by the return of fifth-year point guard Terra Burns. The veteran point guard was injured six games into the season last year and took a medical redshirt. She averaged 8.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game before sitting out the rest of the season.
Senior Devin Brierly started 30 games a year ago and played 26.3 minutes per game. Brierly has been a devensive standout and may be counted on to score more this season. Junior forward Becca Bornhorst started 14 times a year ago and is also an experienced player. Sophomore guards Jenna Cobb and Mandy McDivitt also return, as well as veteran players Elizabeth Jennings and Kaley May.
St. Francis, an NAIA school located in Fort Wayne, Ind., went 25-9 last year. The Cougars play in the Mid-Central College Conference, which includes Indianapolis-based Marian University.
Beth Couture, in her 10th season at Butler, has led the Bulldogs to second place in the Horizon League in each of the last three seasons. The all-time wins leader for Butler women's basketball, Couture is 43-24 over the past two years.
The Butler women's basketball program will also be hosting an alumni game Sunday at noon before the game against St. Francis. Registration begins at 11 a.m. and the court will be available for warm-ups at 11:30. There will be a reception with food and drinks in the Wildman Room for alumni after the game.
Butler will open its regular season Saturday, Nov. 12 against UNLV at Iowa. Butler's second game will be either against Iowa or Harvard. The Bulldogs' home opener is Wednesday, Nov. 30 vs. Bradley.

I got confused reading through this:
1.Zimbra Product Portal "Fixed Issues Table - The list of bugs that have been fixed in the patch. Please see Understanding the Bug
Table for more information on this table."
2.The above sends me to Zimbra Product Portal and from there to A Bug's Life Cycle where the "Status"
field for 'Verified' reads: "QA has looked at the bug and the resolution and agrees that the appropriate resolution has been taken. Bugs remain in this
state until the product they were reported against actually ships, at which point they become CLOSED."
So (1) says that the list of bugs are in the patch while (2) says that if the bug is in "Verified" state then it's waiting to be shipped?!

Breakdown in a MOSFET
Application ID: 15583
MOSFETs typically operate in three regimes depending on the drain-source voltage for a given gate voltage. Initially the current-voltage relation is linear, this is the Ohmic region. As the drain-source voltage increases the extracted current begins to saturate, this is the saturation region. As the drain-source voltage is further increased the breakdown region is entered, where the current increases exponentially for a small increase in the applied voltage. This is due to impact ionization.
This model shows how to use the time dependent solver to model impact ionization in a MOSFET.

Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Supreme Court says prayers that open town council meetings do not violate the Constitution even if they routinely stress Christianity.
The court said in 5-4 decision Monday that the content of the prayers is not critical as long as officials make a good-faith effort at inclusion.
The ruling was a victory for the town of Greece, N.Y., outside of Rochester.
In 1983, the court upheld an opening prayer in the Nebraska legislature and said that prayer is part of the nation's fabric, not a violation of the First Amendment. Monday's ruling was consistent with the earlier one.

Most tap water is regulated by the government, so worrisome chemicals like arsenic are present only in trace amounts. This is not true for all bottled water, which has very few regulations.
Also, tap water, unlike bottled water, contains fluoride. Fluoride is essential for keeping your teeth healthy and preventing cavities, and you need it even more when you're pregnant. The increased blood flow to all your tissues, including the gums, makes you especially susceptible to dental decay and tooth problems during pregnancy.
This has been a hard issue to get a handle on. Some studies suggest that, in some areas, drinking tap water during pregnancy is associated with miscarriage, birth defects, and lower birth weights. But in my view, the research doesn't clearly show that tap water, in general, causes these problems. (And there's also no good data to show that bottled water is safer.)
Of course, if you know there are contaminants in your drinking water that exceed the legal safety limits, you won't want to drink it, pregnant or not. But we probably don't have enough information to conclude that tap water that meets current water-quality standards in the United States is unsafe during pregnancy.

I love Lotus Touch organic lotion and cream! I have used them in my massage practice for over 6 years and have great results when combining the lotion and cream for massages. The lotion provides great lubrication with appropriate friction and absorbs well into the client's skin without leaving a residue. Also, this lotion contains no nut oils, which is crucial when working with clients with allergies.
Left my hands & my clients feeling sticky - definitely not "silky smooth". Now I have a slightly used gallon of lotion to get rid of. Any ideas?
My clients like this silky formula, unfortunately it makes my hands itch. I thought I was buying Organic. Oops, I assumed that since it was coming from "organic Naturals" that it was organic, or at least natural.
I have made this lotion into "gift" lotions with essential oils for my clients and in gift baskets. I try to use ONLY organic products in my massage practice.
Doesn't retain glide because it soaks in too quickly. Have to use more lotion and it exfoliates pretty quickly.
This is my favorite lotion because no shower is required or towel to clean it off. Been using it for many years.

Making Misfortune Into an Opportunity
January 6, 2013
Once a hub of international business deals, the old Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel headquarters building now is vacant....
why not give it to an interested party,if one can be found?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Ditto OSM.
Manufacturing jobs have been lost to outsourcing but most white collar jobs such as filled this building have been lost to technology making workers MORE PRODUCTIVE, hence fewer are needed.
This building probably housed lots of secretarial and clerical people: Personal Computers and word processing/spreadsheet software eliminated them.
Lots of Draftsmen? CAD software replaced armies of them.
Hordes of accountants? Excel makes one accountant capable of doing the work of 10.
etc. etc.
Times changed, Wheeling did not.

If the local government wants to use taxpayer money on real estate projects, this would be a good opportunity.
Modernize the structure. Create office space.
Announce to the world that tenants can receive 1 free year of rent with a 5-year lease.
Also: reduce or eliminate B&O taxes for tenants of the building.
If there are any Fortune 500 companies that want to move operations to Wheeling, give them the free rent for 1-year/tax break proposal.
I submit that, even if the rents allowed the taxpayers to break even, the publicity and credibility from attracting world class corporations to the city would help to turn the area around.
You can boast "Hey, Company X and Company Y each have 100 employees in back offices in Wheeling."
Once other businesses hear about this, Wheeling might be on their radar.
Of course, I am not in support of ANY tax dollars being used for wasteful projects but.....if you are going to waste it, anyway...

Bugs the heck out of me that the company failed. That said, despite what Hollywood says, if you build it, doesn't mean anyone will come. Getting that building current would cost a bundle. And once you did it, who would need that much office space?
Remember, that building was built to house hundreds of clerks, who were needed to keep track of a major business in pre-computer days. Even in the Eighties, a significant part of the building was empty.
Unless you already have a tenant lined up, fixing that white elephant would just be another opportunity for politically connected contractors to pick up work at the taxpayers' expense

On June 11th Forum Global and C-PET partnered to host the 2014 Cloud Computing Policy Conference in Washington DC.
On Cloud and Policy: Atlanticis
By Nigel Cameron, President of C-PET
We have just finished the 2014 Cloud Policy USA conference, in which C-PET was delighted to partner with Forum Global. In my closing remarks, I highlighted some core questions that this immensely significant term raises. At one level, of course, the shift to Cloud might be considered trivial – it's just time-sharing, say cynics, and we've done that for half a century. Others grasp its utility – safe, cheap storage that avoids local backup and also facilitates distance collaboration – work that is location agnostic, as FTC Commissioner Ohlhausen, one of our keynote speakers, eloquently put it. So what?
Well, the history of innovation is peppered with "so whats" whose naivety has soon been obvious. Which is not to say that the wilder enthusiasts for any technology's potential will always be proved right. Yet the "general purpose technologies" that have economy-wide effects bear inbuilt capacities for extraordinary impact.
The detail of that impact may not be immediately clear. One thing that always perplexes me about technology/business events is the seeming confidence of presenters who claim to track a decade ahead the number of people and dollars and nodes that will inevitably emerge from the application of A, or B, or C. That's partly because the core lesson of the exponential principle (which goes well beyond Moore's Law) is the folly of linear projections and the math they make possible. In tandem, we have the interaction of A, and B, and C – about which we may speculate or even war-game; interactions that raise the lack of clarity and therefore risk involved – exponentially. All of which leads me – as I hear the presentations and watch the PPs (and read the analyst reports) – to puzzle. We have little idea of even the business models that these exploding technologies will enable – and if that is true, all bets are off.
As we look back, the best example of this fact lies in what we now call search. Back when, pre-Google and their predecessors, this was not even a concept, let alone a business model. We all searched for things we had lost. We all researched things we did not know. When I was working on my Ph.D., I took the train to distant libraries for that purpose. Point is: Not only did search, perfected by Google, not exist – we were not looking for it. Vastly valuable applications will emerge at the interface of the Cloud and the Internet of Things that we have not yet imagined; while our expectations as to what is likely will fall away. This does make it hard for analysts and management consultants to write reports that generate big bucks and grasp the interest of the press. Without prejudice to the excellence of (some of) their work, the lesson of the past three decades (and the smartest sci-fi) is that the future is not an advanced version of the present.
The future is, as L.P. Hartley famously said of the past, "another country: they do things differently there."
In my remarks I made these four points.
- Our engagement with the policy and economic dimensions of these emerging technologies must be Atlanticist. The transatlantic corridor between North America and Europe represents the world's most significant economic axis as well as the main line of freedom and democracy. Ever-nascent anti-Americanism in Europe, coupled with American disdain for and disinterest in Europe, offer continual challenges to the Atlanticist vision – yet it remains key to the success of Cloud and the economic revolution it will help release. It was encouraging to hear from our distinguished speakers that we have a trend toward better co-operation.
- It is crucial to frame this discussion in multidisciplinary terms – as policy, technology, business, values, are more closely correlated with the passage of time. Specialism is so 20th century.
- In that context, the Cloud is the fundamental enabler of the Internet of Things. And the IoT has dramatic, extraordinary implications. Essentially – to use my favorite term – it offers to button the old economy to the new economy. That claim is vast, and its potential for creating value seemingly limitless.
- It also carries disturbing implications, since it offers to extend the already extensive digitized knowledge base of our private lives – and therefore render much more of us accessible to that triad of users of our digital information: governments, corporations, and "bad actors." (I make no comment about the extent to which governments and corporations should also be classed in that category; though there is no question that they are both capable of "bad actions.") In the post-Snowden era, the NSA's efforts now partly in the public domain show the impact of a system in which essentially all the data are accessible to anyone with the smarts and opportunity to mine them; to "data" we are in the process of adding "things." Trillions of them.
The Conference addressed many of these questions, which help frame our thinking on the policy implications of the Cloud.
Ambassador de Almeida, who heads the Mission of the European Union to the United States, took the "Cloud" metaphor further and suggested it might lead to stormy weather. As it happened, mid-afternoon my phone chirped to let me know that the excellent Red Cross Tornado app had come to life to announce a tornado watch across the DC area for the next 6 hours. (Had it been a warning, the room would have heard a dramatic, loud,"Take cover, take cover," whether or not I had the volume turned off.) The Cloud-based Internet of Things at work.
The Cloud, like all systematic technological developments of general-purpose application, is fraught with risk even as it is with possibility. Candid discussion – across national boundaries, disciplines, sectors – offers our best approach to exploiting its potential for great good. While doing so non-naively.
Next in our series of events focused on the Internet of Things, a Roundtable with FTC Commissioner Julie Brill on February 26 (Wednesday) at 2.00 p.m. in our G Street conference room.
After Commissioner Brill's presentation, responses followed from:
Daniel Caprio, Senior Adviser, McKenna Long & Aldridge, and Senior Fellow, C-PET
Nuala O'Connor, President, Center for Democracy and Technology
Carolyn Nguyen, Director, Technology Policy Group, Microsoft, will address the longer term impact of data and the increasing datafication of society on policy.
Latest Commentary
Beyond the Shutdown: Five Drivers for the Innovation of DC
By Nigel Cameron, President of C-PET
It's cheap to say "a plague on both your houses," but what's clear as the federal shutdown shudders toward a third week is that back of the positions and personalities shaping this piece of disastrous theater lie common commitments to a political culture that is dead but won't lie down. Part of our tragic predicament is found in the fact, lately exemplified by the plight of BlackBerry and Nokia (and Kodak), that being the pro tem technology leader can mean little for the development of the kind of resilient culture that will drive mission forward in the context of rapid change. What lies ahead, then, for America?
Introducing C-PET's New Futures Platform
By Gunther Sonnenfeld & Nigel Cameron, C-PET's New Policy Innovation Futures Platform
So the sequester grinds on, good men and women pursue the trench warfare at which Capitol Hill excels, and the future of the United States looks more precarious by the day.
Public and private policy in today's world has boiled down to the tepid commitment of belief systems that seem untethered to foundational wisdom and anchored to party alliances that often do very little for our long-term social, political or technological advancement. In short, as corporations, legislators, lobbyists and citizen activist groups, we are seeking quick solutions to highly complex problems that are predicated on borrowed time and borrowed capital…. And doing so from falsely appointed sides of the same coin.
We are here to change that.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Andre Iguodala's 3-pointer and Joakim Noah's
offensive goaltending in the final 7.1 seconds of overtime kept the Nuggets'
winning streak alive, as Denver escaped United Center with a controversial
119-118 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
After Iguodala's go-ahead make, Marco Belinelli drove the left side and threw
up a jumper that appeared to be short. Noah swooped in and got a hand on the
ball as it was coming down and celebrated with his teammates as the ball went
through with 1.7 seconds showing.
But the excitement was short-lived, as officials overruled the bucket with the
aid of instant replay, saying Noah touched the ball as it was in the cylinder,
giving the Nuggets their 12th consecutive victory.
Wilson Chandler scored 35 points for Denver, while Nate Robinson paced the
Bulls with 34.

All professionals working with traumatized children should be trauma informed and have specialized training in evidenced based practices in child sexual abuse/trauma. If there is an allegation of child sexual abuse a referral to a mental health professional trained in child sexual abuse is almost always appropriate. The Treatment Collaborative for Traumatized Youth in North Dakota trains and provides consultation to therapists across the state.

They have expertise in providing forensic interviews, medical exams, advocacy services and mental health therapy. Childrens Advocacy Centers can also be a good resource of information on research and best practices in the field. To find the Childrens Advocacy Center closest to you visit cacnd.com .

|Running for cover in Beer Sheva today as long-range rockets were fired
into the city by Gaza's terrorists [Image Source]
Based on eye-witness reports we collected during the day (Sunday), here is a summary of the regions in which the Tzeva Adom missile warning system detected an incoming attack or (where Tzeva Adom did not operate for whatever reason) actual rocket-born explosions occurred:
08:50: Sha'ar Hanegev
12:55: S'dot Negev
13:00: Hof Ashkelon
14:00: Be'er Sheva. Israel National News reported that two explosions, possibly three, were heard in the city about 90 seconds after the siren sounded the alert for residents to head for the shelters. At least one, and possibly two, of the incoming missiles - believed to be long-range GRAD Katyushas - were intercepted and destroyed by the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system.
Times of Israel reports that more 70 rockets in total have been fired into Israel since (and presumably including) Saturday night.
"On Sunday morning, four Israelis were wounded by shrapnel when Palestinian terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at the Sha'ar Hanegev region. Two people in their fifties were wounded when a rocket scored a direct hit on a car, while a third woman was hurt as a rocket fell near a school in a nearby town. Two residents of Sderot were treated for shock. All of the casualties were evacuated to hospitals in Beersheba and Ashkelon. Hamas's armed wing announced that it was actively participating in the fighting by firing mortar shells at IDF positions around the Gaza Strip... Television reports noted that recent cross-border fire from Gaza had included highly accurate Katyusha rockets, capable of doing far more damage than previous rocket fire."TOI summarizes the day's events with this fatalistic commentary under the title "The approach of an unwanted war in Gaza | Neither Israel nor Hamas nor Egypt seems to wish it, but as rocket fire intensifies again, a deeper conflict looms":
Israel doesn't want war. Hamas doesn't want war. Egypt doesn't want war. And yet this weekend's bloodshed on the Israel-Gaza border, along with the increase in rocket fire, has brought all sides to the brink...
