Boston EMS encourages anyone and everyone to learn CPR. By knowing this life saving technique, you will have the power to save a life - and with Hands-Only CPR it is now easier than ever to learn!
Boston EMS Talks About CPR on NPR
Boston EMS' Deputy Joe O'Hare spoke to NPR about the importance of CPR and how our 911 call takers provide instructions over the phone when a patient requires CPR. To increase the chance of a bystander performing CPR and using American Heart Association guidelines, Boston EMS has given chest compression-only instructions for years. Two studies recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine show that compression-only CPR is just as adequate as CPR with both compressions and respirations. Everyone should learn CPR.

Bar Paly
Bar Paly is a model and actress who has appeared in steamy spreads for Maxim magazine as well as many television shows and films. She is Michael Bay's latest stunner of choice for his upcoming film, Pain & Gain, which also stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Mark Wahlberg.
Bar Paly BiographyBar Paly was born in Russia and raised in Tel Aviv. She was first signed by an agency in Israel, and when she was just 17 years old, moved to Milan to pursue modeling there and was signed by a second agency. Mere days later, she took off to Berlin without telling anyone. Her reps in Israel and Milan, and obviously her parents, had no idea where she was for almost seven days. Apparently, her parents were so distraught that they even phoned the Israeli embassy to help in the search of their daughter.
bar paly on televisionBar Paly began acting on a variety of Israeli television shows, like Zehirut Matzlema in 2003. After becoming one of the spokesmodels of Canadian brand Silver Jeans in 2004, she made her first appearance on English TV on the short-lived comedy Filthy Gorgeous, starring Isabella Rossellini, in 2006.
She also worked on an episode of CSI: NY in 2007.
bar paly in maxim and in the ruinsIn 2008, Bar Paly appeared in one hell of a sexy spread in Maxim magazine. The photoshoot gained her more mainstream attention.
She also honed her acting skills that year, appearing in three 2008 films: The Ruins, Stiletto and Hyenas.
Bar Paly In Pain & Gain
Bar Paly was given the ultimate stamp of Hollywood approval when she was cast by Michael Bay in Pain & Gain, his 2013 action drama. Paly will star in it alongside Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) and Mark Wahlberg.

Great Wallet
I really enjoy this new wallet. It works great and it not to bulky in my pocket. The only downside was that the color was a little more red then I expected. Other than that I really enjoy the wallet and would recommend buying it.

Terry heads the Mobile Library Services department and enjoys each and every one of the communities the bookmobile serves.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
"On a fateful summer afternoon in 1971 James Marshall lay on his hammock drawing pictures. His mother was inside the house watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf on TV. The strident voices of the movie's protagonists, George and Martha, split the quiet air, and as the sketches began to take shape, history was made ... and James Marshall never had to look for another profession.
And so, with" tongue-in cheek" Jim Marshall began his career and became one of the most prolific and successful author/illustrators of children's books. He is best known for his series on the mischievous exploits of Fox, a debonair, lazy showoff; the uproarious adventures of the two Cut-Ups, Spud and Joe; George and Martha; and the misadventures of the Stupid family.
The Washington Post said in a recent review of his work, "There are few better writers and illustrators for children now than Marshall. Certainly there is no one else working today who more successfully captures the child's point of view than does the creator of George and Martha and the Stupids". The New York Times said about the Fox books: "The miracle of Mr. Marshall's work is that so often his stories are as profound as they are simple". He illustrated new versions of many children's classics, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears, for which he received a Caldecott Honor, Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and Hansel and Gretel.
In an interview with Texas Monthly, Jim Marshall said about his work: "People have very odd ideas of what a children's writer should be like. Children always expect me to look like a hippopotamus and adults assume that by nature I have to be a little off the wall". Penguin Publishers

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.
Uterine fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus (myometrium). A single cell divides repeatedly, eventually creating a firm, rubbery mass distinct from nearby tissue. The growth patterns of uterine fibroids vary — they may grow slowly or rapidly, or they may remain the same size. Some fibroids go through growth spurts, and some may shrink on their own. Many fibroids that have been present during pregnancy shrink or disappear after pregnancy, as the uterus goes back to a normal size.
Fibroids range in size from seedlings, undetectable by the human eye, to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. They can be single or multiple, in extreme cases expanding the uterus so much that it reaches the rib cage.
As many as 3 out of 4 women have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives, but most are unaware of them because they often cause no symptoms. Your doctor may discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound.

Hi all! I am interested in adding an effects pedal or pedals (chorus, reverb, looping) for making playing at home more interesting and for open mics/gigs in the future. I currently have a Fishman Loudbox Mini amp that is fun and includes chorus and reverb, but not a great range of sound.
Thoughts from those who are more experienced on what you would recommend or highly not recommend?
Views: 176
I will give you my two cents worth here since I am a pedal freak, so here goes:
Reverb: Holy Grail Plus, or Wampler Faux Spring Reverb
Chorus: BBE Mind Bender
Looping: I use a Boss RC-2, but they now have the RC-3
I love and swear by the Behringer ADI21 DI Box with Expander settings.
I would suggest an MXR Carbon Copy or The Dark Echo
I would include the BBE Sonic Stomp in the mix also.
All these pedals are "analog" and true bypass except for the RC-3, and the DI Box, and the Sonic Stomp is hardwire bypass. I would stay away from the digital pedals. I own all these pedals and love every one of them. Also take it from me when it comes to pedals, spend the money and get good ones. Don't buy the cheaper ones. A good pedal is going to cost at least $150 usually except for a couple of the ones I named.
Thanks for all the info Judgestone! I was hoping for a "pedal freak"! Will check some of these out! Right now I am playing my Fender through the amp but plan to upgrade to the new Martin DCPA5K soon! (Hopefully). Appreciate the advice!
Just wanted to throw this one in. I got the Subdecay the other day and love it. Again, I am a pedal freak.
i haven't been impressed with reverb pedals but that one's pretty cool!
My wife got me a Zoom A2 acoustic multi effect (also acts as a DI) for Christmas. Was never a big fan of Zoom stuff I had back in the day, but this thing is simple to use and natural sounding. Seems pretty sturdy and well built as well. Goes for about $100. Does everything I need it too...
Thanks Mark. I have looked at the Zoom products and they seem to fit what I want, at least to start!

In Lyx how do I find and replace words with latex code (ERT)?
I don't think there is a way to do that in LyX 1.6, but in LyX 2.0, which is supposed to be released pretty soon, and which is currently available as a release candidate version, this is very easy with "Advanced search". You can pretty much search for any formatted text or even math, and replace them with anything else.
You can do this with

ATLANTA (Feb. 2, 2011)—Children's Healthcare of Atlanta performed its 500th kidney transplant Jan. 28, 2011. Children's is only the second pediatric kidney transplant program in the Southeast to achieve this milestone and one of only a handful in the United States, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
Connor Comeans, 17, a senior at Northgate High School in Newnan, Ga., received the milestone transplant. An Eagle Scout who loves acting and reading, Connor first met Children's Nephrology and Kidney Transplant teams when he was diagnosed with renal failure at age 9. When friends and family learned Connor needed a new kidney, 27 people offered to be tested for donor candidacy. The Emory Transplant Center determined a family friend from Snellville, Ga., was a clinical match, and on the morning of Jan. 28, the donor underwent a nephrectomy, or kidney removal surgery, at Emory University Hospital. Across the country, more than 6,000 transplants are made possible by living donors each year.
"In the past 30 years, we've watched the gift of life take place within our walls 500 times and the magic of the process never fades—from watching the transplanted organ turn pink to seeing a resurgence in the patient's energy just days after surgery," said Barry Warshaw, M.D., Medical Director, Kidney Transplant Program and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Emory University School of Medicine. "With the growth of paired exchange organ donation, we are hopeful that an increase in available organs will allow us to save the lives of more children through transplant in the near future."
Established in 1980, the Children's Kidney Transplant Program is recognized as a leader in kidney transplants, as well as nationally known for excellence in patient care and medical research. The Children's Kidney Transplant Program has achieved several groundbreaking accomplishments, including:
Children's solid organ transplant programs, including liver, heart and kidney, are located at the Children's Carlos and Marguerite Mason Transplant Center at Children's at Egleston. The Center provides full pre- and post-transplant outpatient services in a centralized location. Since 1988, the Children's Heart Transplant team has completed nearly 250 pediatric heart transplants. Since 1990, the Children's Liver Transplant team has completed more than 350 pediatric liver transplants.

Wilmington Fire Department Responds to Early Morning Fires on North Heald Street and at University and Whist Club
Posted on 08/15/2013 10:38 am
This morning, firefighters were dispatched to the 1100 block of North Heald Street and the University and Whist Club to respond to two separately reported fires.
Firefighters on the "C" platoon responded to the 1100 block of North Heald Street, a working house fire with flames showing on the first floor. The firefighters and responding units contained the fire to the first floor with only minor damage to the second floor. Fire damage was confined to the dwelling of origin; however, the neighboring property experienced minor smoke damage.
Shortly after the Heald Street fire, firefighters were dispatched to the University and Whist Club, when a passing EMS unit from Saint Francis Hospital noticed and reported a fire in the rear of the building. The fire was located at the loading dock and storage area attached to the rear of the social club. Responding units quickly controlled the fire and prevented any extension into the main building. However, the main building did receive minor smoke damage.
There were no civilian or firefighter injuries reported in either fire. The Wilmington Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of both fires, and the investigations are active and ongoing at this time.

Tulsa-based Magellan Midstream Partners LP says it's assessing interest in a potential pipeline to transport refined petroleum products from its terminal in Fort Smith, Ark., to Little Rock.
The project would include a 12-inch pipeline to carry 75,000 barrels a day of gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel the 160 miles between the two Arkansas cities. Magellan said Monday the project would provide the Little Rock market with access to refined products from Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast refineries.
The company says pipeline could be operational in the third quarter of 2015 depending on the results of comments from potential customers and on permit and regulatory approval.

Side effects of targeted therapy are somewhat different for everyone. They also vary based on which drug you receive. Ask your oncologist or chemotherapy nurse for more details about possible side effects. Tell your doctor or nurse about any changes or side effects you notice as they can suggest things to make you feel better. In most cases, you'll stop having side effects within a few weeks after your treatment ends. Below is a list of some of the possible side effects:
Acnelike skin changes. Treatment can't prevent these skin changes, but there are some ways to make them less bothersome.
Allergic reactions. If you have a reaction, it will likely be temporary and treatable. Your doctor will decide if you can continue to receive this type of medication.
High blood pressure. Your doctor can treat this with antihypertensive medications.
Increased chance of blood clotting with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Your doctor will monitor you for this side effect. Tell your doctor right away if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, numbness or weakness, or if you feel dizzy or faint.
Increased chance of an opening occurring in the stomach or intestine called gastrointestinal perforation. Report right away any new pain, constipation, or vomiting you have.
Increased chance for healing delay in surgical wounds. If you notice that you have any wounds that are not healing well, you should let your doctor or nurse know.
Increased chance of bleeding inside the body. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you cough up blood or notice blood in stools or urine, or bleeding from the nose or gums.
Less energy (fatigue). This occurs during and for a while after treatment.
Liver damage. Your doctor may check your blood during treatment for signs of this. Tell your doctor if you notice a yellow color in the whites of your eyes or your skin.
Spilling of protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage). Your doctor will check a urine sample before and during your treatment to see if there is too much protein in it.

Kate Thorp is just 40 years old but her resume lists a dizzying number of titles, awards and companies for whom she has been an evangelist of the Web. In fact, the daughter of actors Chad Everett ("Medical Center") and Shelby Grant ("Fantastic Voyage") likes to joke that her quick climb to the top of corporate ladder made her parents "nauseous." She began her career as a television reporter and as a U.S. congressional aide before joining CNET (where her title was "VP-Crusader"), which launched her into the world of online media and marketing. She co-founded the Internet Advertising Bureau, did a stint at a venture capital firm and founded her own digital communications company, Lot21, at age 28. In 2007, she started Real Girls Media network, whose popular Web site, DivineCaroline, offers women a voice on the Internet.
As a mom to three — a daughter who'll be 10 this summer, and twin 7-year-old boys — there are two things that help her manage her career and family life — she's a self-proclaimed Type-A person and her husband, a former software engineer, is a full-time stay-at-home dad. She lives with her family in San Rafael, just north of San Francisco.
You have said that DivineCaroline is a way to "elevate the voice of women and girls." Why are web sites like yours and others so important to women in general and moms in particular?
Women in general are fantastic and I think we have this innate ability to share experiences to the benefit of people we know and don't know. When you can foster a community of two or 20 million, I think you find that dynamic is true. The digital world has given us a very unique platform to share and engage that attribute of women. Moms utilize that power more than any other group. Children don't come with a manual and neither does the lifestyle change of becoming a parent. Those foster a need for information, then sharing and then becoming an expert in all of parenting, in each of the elements you've just gone through."
How did it come to be that your husband stayed home with the kids, and you were the breadwinner?
I got lucky! I was running Lot21 when we decided to start having kids. As our belief systems go, there's no perfect time for anything so … we felt like this was the right time in our lives. He was in more of a position to leave his job if not temporarily than permanently and, of course, it's been the hardest job of his life! And he's amazing at it.

Amendment is concern
Published: Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 18, 2013 at 10:28 a.m.
Editor: OK editor, readers, parents and adults, indulge me as I respond to issues I have with the Second Amendment.
First are the words "regulated Militia" proclaimed under security as a means of protection and so forth. Second, since this amendment was adopted Dec. 15, 1791, it has come under a great deal of fire from NRA proponents as seemingly rights to bear arms. Thirdly, this same group of people has since produced a video game for 4-year-olds to play.
Meanwhile, here's my issues of concern:
(1) What's the legal age for alcohol consumption/purchase etc.?
(2) What's the legal age for issuing driving privileges?
(3) What's the law involving an underaged child gaining access to a gun that isn't locked or stored properly by an adult used in commission of a crime or carried to school, etc.?
Moreover, with that being said, why are guns being placed into underaged children's hands for hunting purposes when the third question poses the same and much more dangers to the public in my opinion? Do not the other two questions mentioned above cause as much danger as neither one of them are weapons of mass destruction as the one we witnessed in Newtown Conn., while being an unlawful act?
Finally, do firearms of any types kill people, video games or cowboys/Indian games for that matter?
In conclusion, neither of the three I mentioned — firearms, video games nor cowboys/Indian games — can be totally blamed or can they? In the real world, it seems to be the conscience of the power of perhaps little Johnny or cute Susie didn't understand the power of assault guns when they were too very young to be introduced to the killing power placed in their hands rather than what they were really meant for under the Second Amendment. Does this register?

Panama City - Seasonal allergies effect more people than ever before, and food allergies, which can be deadly, are also on the rise. So what's going on? NewsChannel 7's Donna Bell takes a closer look at the allergy mystery.
The medical term for allergy is "atopy"... which comes from a Greek word meaning "strange disease." And in fact, the medical world may only be scratching the surface, when it comes to understanding, and treating, allergies.
Allergies are nothing to sneeze at. Just ask mom Kara Bradley. Her daughters Rebecca and Rachel can have a life threatening reaction to foods like milk, eggs, and nuts. "Even just touching her causes severe allergic reactions so its frightening to think what would happen if she ingested it," said Kara.
Kara decided to home school her daughters, mainly because of their severe multiple allergies. "I knew I would sit by the phone all day waiting for a call saying they had some kind of allergic reaction so that was a big factor for me." And Kara's not alone. Pediatric allergies are increasing at an alarming rate... up almost twenty percent over the past decade.
The Centers for Disease Control reports three million children have food or digestive allergies. Researchers just can't figure out why.
"It's always been strange, its always been a mystery, and part of that's because its an immunological process and we're just really still learning alot about it." Dr. Geeta Khare of Panama City's Asthma and Allergy Clinic says seasonal allergies are easier to treat, with medications and immunotherapy, but that's not the case with food allergies. "Right now we have avoidance and treatment after the fact," said Dr. Khare.
When you step inside the home of a family that has food allergies, the pantry looks quite different. Instead of regular cereal you find puffed millet cereal, instead of peanut butter, how about Sunbutter? And you have to be so careful because one tiny bite of something they're allergic to, can mean they need a shot of Epinephrine. "Epinepherine is a potentially life saving treatment, but it is an injection,and very often patients and providers are intimidated," said Dr. Khare.
That intimidation is something Kara had to get over, and she makes sure everyone around her children knows how to use an Epipen.
"I go and talk with the parents, are you ok with this? show them the Epipen, are you OK with this?" They don't want to be the parent who makes your child sick."
Could allergies be making kids sick in other ways too? That's a question currently being researched. "I think we're going to be linking allergies into more organ systems if you will...and its an exciting area, an area to look at. There's definitely talk about an immune component, children with autism have more allergies,what we don't know is, is one thing causing the other? Or do they just travel together?"
For now, there are more questions than answers, but there's also hope of finding better treatment for allergies, and maybe even a cure. Right now there are human trials underway at research facilities, trying to desensitize people with food allergies. There are also studies taking place, trying to understand the effects of allergies on the stomach, brain, and nervous system.

Alfred told Bruce of his hope that he had when Bruce was gone for seven years. There's this specific cafe he went to once a year when he took vacation. He would go there and look around and hope that he would see Bruce there. Bruce would be happy and with a woman, maybe even with his own family. They would see each other and then go on with their separate lives. Why wouldn't Alfred the man that raised him and thought of him as a son want to be more than just a head nod greeting in a cafe, instead of somehow becoming a part of his life?
IMO, what Alfred meant was that he did not expect Bruce to acknowledge the past. He just wanted him to be a happy family man with a new life, even if it meant Alfred wouldn't be a part of it. The statement had a sacrificial tone to it.
If we think from Alfred's view, he always wanted Bruce to live a peaceful life. So if he gets that chance anytime in future, he must not intervene into Bruce's life as it might make Bruce remember about him being the Batman as Alfred was the one who was from the commencement of Batman. So if he gets away from Bruce, it might help him forgetting about the accidents of his life(including death of his father). Remember Alfred expressed he had never wanted that Bruce returned to Gotham as it was

Matthew Fahey's best known for his role as Ricky Schwartz on MTV's drama, Awkward, and he's been in similar shows like Miss Guided and The Secret Life of the American Teenager, but if teen dramas weren't enough, his resume extends beyond.
He has made appearances in Without a Trace, Dexter, Cold Case and TNT crime drama Rizzoli & Isles. His first major gig was playing Rory Culkin's friend in the film It Runs in the Family, and he played a younger version of Liam Neeson's character in Kinsey. Fahey also voiced a bully in Monster House.
So, why haven't you heard of him sooner? Trust us, you will be hearing a lot more about him in the coming year.
The 21-year-old owner of Auteur Legacy Productions is just getting started. Right now, he's gearing up to premiere his short film Picture Paris alongside actress Julia Louis-Dreyfuss at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
And Fahey appears in two 2012 Sundance Film Festival movies (which are actually two of the year's best):
Excision, a movie about a mentally unstable high school girl with some disturbing surgical ambitions; and The First Time, which tells the story of two teenagers falling in love after meeting at a party. (Check back for reviews on both).
We caught up with Fahey for an interview. He gave us some of his hopes for the next season of Awkward, his thoughts on Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Traci Lords and what we can expect from him next.
SLM: Is it weird being 21 and playing a high school kid in Awkward and these Sundance movies?
"Not really. I never 'really' went to high school. I was home schooled from middle school and then went to my freshman year of high school but got pneumonia and stopped going. So, it's cool to go back and experience it in that way (on Awkward). I am older, and everyone else on the show is older, but you get the feeling that you're back in high school."
SLM: I watched Awkward before this interview, and you seemed to tower over everyone. How tall are you?
"Ha ha, I'm 5' 10". The girls are on the shorter end, but Brett Davern (Jake Rosati) and I are probably the same height. Beau Mirchoff (Matty McKibben) is a little taller than both of us, but I think we're all pretty similar in height... minus the females."
SLM: What can we expect from the second season of Awkward?
"The writers are in the writing room right now, so I have no idea. So, stay tuned for the second season and be surprised like you were in the first season. To me, it's a surprise as well."
SLM: What do you hope will happen to your character, Ricky Schwartz, in the second season?
"Maybe it would be nice if they show a softer side of me. They kind of did that on the last episode of the first season. And possibly being the nerd I am with no athletic ability, it could be really fun to have me try out for the soccer team or football team or basketball team."
SLM: Are you at the point where you're getting stopped on the street by teen girls?
"I don't get recognized as much as Jillian Rose Reed (Tamara). We actually hang out; we're good friends, and people come up to her and say 'Awkward is my favorite show.' Then they just smile at me and walk away. It's because my hair is different than it is on the show. It's shorter and spikier, and on the show... it's really bad. Once in a while, people are like, 'you look familiar; are you an actor?' Then I say 'Awkward,' and they say 'Oh, that's how I knew you.' It's really funny when that happens."
SLM: Tell me about your characters on Excision and The First Time.
"In Excision, AnnaLynne McCord (Pauline) is this nerdy outcast in school, and everyone blows her off, and she comes up and talks to Jeremy Sumpter (Adam), and pretty much the whole time Jeremy and I are best friends in the movie—as in real life. And we kind of just give her crap and make it hard on her at school.
"My character in The First Time is Brendan Meltzer. He's the jock kid who's with the girl Dylan O'Brien (Dave) wants to be with. So, Victoria Justice (Jane) and I are dating, and he doesn't get the chance to be with her. Luckily for him, it all works out fine just the same."
SLM: So, if Ricky Schwartz from Awkward and your two characters from the Sundance films all got into a school yard brawl, who do you think would win and why?
"Probably my character in The First Time, because he's the jock kid, and I think even if he loses, his dad may bail him out. But I think he'd definitely win. And Ricky's very nerdy, so I don't think he could put up a fight at all. It would be a close call between my Excision and The First Time characters, but The First Time will win one way or another."
SLM: Will it be weird at all for fans to see you in Excision and The First Time back to back?
"The characters are kind of similar, so I don't think so. But they are definitely going to be shocked between the two films. I mean, Excision is a dark comedy, horror thriller, which is totally out of the box. And The First Time is a cute teen dramady. They'll definitely be shocked between these two polar opposites."
SLM: Doing any skiing while you're in Park City?
"No, but I was going to see if I could do some snowboarding. I'm from Connecticut, so I used to going out to my front yard every day to set up jumps and stuff. I hope I'll be able to get out there if time permits."
SLM: Matt, your resume is pretty extensive, and you've played so many different characters. What have been your favorite roles?
"I got to play Liam Neeson in Kinsey, a younger version of him, and work with Academy Award Winning director Bill Condon for that as well as on Gods and Monsters. I also worked with Emilio Estevez in the TV show Close to Home. It was an incredible experience working with two great and accepted directors. And I love working on Awkward with people that I can consider my family. I've enjoyed everything I've gotten the opportunity to play, but Awkward is the most like my family."
SLM: But it's not just acting now. We heard you're doing some music.
"I do some underground hip hop music for a group called W.E. It's mostly just writing poems and doing it so it's much more than just songs about getting drunk in the club with girls all over me—not the mainstream rap kind of thing. I find things that have a meaning to it and express it in my music. Nowadays, there's tons of music that doesn't really make any sense with no positive message to it. So, I'm trying to fill in a bit where all of that is lacking."
SLM: It seems like most of your roles has been as a co-star. When are we going to see you as the lead?
"I have my own production company, so we're working on a couple of web series and stuff like that. And I have a supporting role in the Picture Paris, with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, whose husband Brad Hall directed and wrote it. And there's some talk about some other stuff coming up, and hopefully those will get funding and I'll be the star of those films."
SLM: And what can we expect from Auteur Legacy in the near future?
"We shoot a lot of music videos. We have one kid signed over in Japan called Kidd Robin, and his video is on the MTV top ten in Japan. And there's this singer named Ellie Smith, who worked with us on an anti-bullying campaign and music video. Right now, it's being played in almost every school in Nevada and it's about to go nationwide."
SLM: What was it like working with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss?
"It was incredible working with her! She's such a professional and a sweet lady. She's very motherly—she has a kid who's my age so on set, she was very loving and kind of reminded me of my mom. It was really easy working with her and Bob. Everybody on that set was incredible, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the film turned out. They filmed in Paris, and the script is really great—it's out there, and you think it's a Desperate Housewives kind of show at first, but then it starts to get interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing it."
SLM: And what was it like working with Traci Lords in Excision?
"She's so cool. She's awesome. This was filmed back when Jeremy (Sumpter) and I were fishing a lot, and she was telling us all these crazy fishing stories. She told us about her and her husband fishing off jet skis, and she said they actually jet skied all the way to Catalina and were catching sharks and stuff like that. She's one of the coolest ladies I ever met. Really down to earth."
SLM: Before we part ways, any message you want to get out to your fans?
"Season two of Awkward is coming up, and I'm really looking forward to everyone seeing it. Thanks for all the support, and if I didn't have the fans and all the people who enjoyed the show, I wouldn't have a job. So, thank you very much."

On Sunday, Feb. 10, local families will have the opportunity to attend College Goal Sunday to receive free assistance on how to pay for college. Anyone who is interested in attending higher education and might need financial assistance in paying for college is encouraged to attend.
College Goal Sunday will be held at Otero Junior College on Sunday, Feb. 10, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the OJC Student Center Conference Room. Families will receive free professional guidance on ways to pay for college, specifically how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is a crucial step in the college planning process.
The FAFSA must be completed for a student to receive any type of financial aid, including grants, work study, student loans and even many scholarships. Students are encouraged to submit their FAFSA as close to the first of the year as possible.
"In a time where college is no longer a luxury, but a necessity in the workplace, it is more vital than ever to provide families with the knowledge and resources to make higher education a reality," said Angela Benfatti, director of financial aid at Otero Junior College "For many families the greatest hurdle is how to pay for college. College Goal Sunday provides an incredible platform for families to receive free direction on ways to make college affordable."
Families are encouraged to bring their 2012 federal tax records, to ensure they can work through the FAFSA during the time they have with financial aid experts. College Goal Sunday will also take place at 14 other locations across the state. More information on College Goal Sunday can be found at www.collegegoalcolorado.org.
For local College Goal Sunday information, contact Angela Benfatti at firstname.lastname@example.com or 384-6834.

text: Move! We've got to move! I have to leave family, friends, my private educational practice, my life of the past 40 years? Yes. My husband and I moved to the North, from a spacious Southern home in a small town to a big-city small apartment. I knew no one. We didn't take a car, and quickly I learned to use the T/ public transportation. Everything was different from grocery shopping and accents to figuring out how I was going to occupy my heretofore busy days. So, I decided to follow my long-buried passion of acting. I found an acting coach, enrolled in acting lessons and within a few months auditioned on-stage for dozens of New England directors and producers. Searching out auditions and opportunities wherever I could find them, I availed myself of every role/part for a 'middle-aged' female, rare, indeed! Many dark days lay ahead—despite vigilant work—along with many audition rejections—too many to count. But, I knew with each audition, I was better prepared for the next. Success rested in my mind! This was an adventure—meeting people, learning the vast city/surroundings, a second career in my second half of life, and maybe, just maybe, I would be cast! After nearly a year of hoofing the streets and putting me out there, under my 'new' career belt are three theatrical on-stage performances, a major film music video, several film productions with area college/university filmmaking majors, and I even made it to the semi-final cut for a major TV reality show. It's been a full spectrum of emotions reinventing my 'middle-aged' self and making the move positive—from exhilaration, excitement, and exhaustion to anxiousness, sadness, and fear. No doubt, I'm stronger, more confident, and am walking my talk for my now shorter runway of life—no regrets!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
While most tick bites are harmless, several species can cause life-threatening diseases. Two of these well-known diseases are Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme disease. Ticks can also transmit tularemia (a plague-like disease in rodents that can be transmitted to man), relapsing fever, and a newly identified ailment called ehrlichiosis (an abrupt illness consisting of fever, rash, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss).
Lyme disease (LD) is a multi-stage, multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, a spiral shaped bacterium that is most commonly transmitted by a tick bite. The disease takes its name from Lyme, Connecticut, where the illness was first identified in the United States in 1975.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Lyme disease continues to be a rapidly emerging infectious disease, and is the leading cause of all insect-borne illness in the US. The number of annually reported cases has increased 25-fold since national surveillance began in 1982. About 20,000 people are infected each year in the US. The majority (95 percent) of cases are reported in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin.
Ticks prefer to live in wooded areas, low-growing grasslands, seashores, and yards. Depending on the location, anywhere from less than 1 percent to more than 50 percent of the ticks are infected with spirochetes.
Lyme disease is a year-round problem, although, April through October is considered tick season, with ticks being very active in the spring and early summer. Cases of Lyme disease have been reported in 49 states in the US and in large areas in Europe and Asia.
The list of possible symptoms is long, and symptoms can affect every part of the body. The following are the most common symptoms of Lyme disease. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently:
The primary symptom is a red rash that:
Several days or weeks after a bite from an infected tick, a patient usually experiences flu-like symptoms such as:
After several months, arthritis-like symptoms may develop, including painful and swollen joints.
Other possible symptoms may include:
Some people may develop post-Lyme disease syndrome (PLDS), a condition also known as chronic Lyme disease, characterized by persistent musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve pain, fatigue and memory impairment.
Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose because symptoms are not consistent and may imitate other conditions. The primary symptom is a rash, but it may not be present in up to 20 percent of cases.
Diagnosis for Lyme disease is a clinical one and must be made by a physician experienced in recognizing LD. Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms and a history of a tick bite. Testing is generally done to eliminate other conditions and may be supported through blood and laboratory tests, although these tests are not absolutely reliable for diagnosing LD.
Research is underway to develop and improve methods for diagnosing LD.
Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Your physician will determine the best treatment plan based on your individual situation. Lyme disease is usually treated with antibiotics for a period of four to six weeks.
Treatment will be considered based on these and other factors:
Relapse and incomplete treatment responses occur. Complications of untreated early-stage disease include: joint disease, neurologic disease, carditis, and hospitalization, some with chronic debilitating conditions.
Humans do not develop immunity to LD and reinfection is possible. In 1998, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved a new vaccine against Lyme disease called LYMErix. The vaccine was not 100 percent effective, however, and the FDA still recommended using other preventive measures. In 2002, the manufacturer of LYMErix announced that the vaccine would no longer be available commercially.
Some general guidelines for preventing LD include the following:

La Monnaie ¦ MM Extra ¦ Libretto reading (Dutch) #9 ¦ Intro
Libretto reading (Dutch) #9
In its annual libretto readings, the Walpurgis travelling musical theatre company headed by the soprano Judith Vindevogel always succeeds in making the classical lyrical repertoire accessible to a broader audience in an infectious manner that involves improvisation and some playful references. In 2014 it will be their ninth year : following Cosi fan tutte, Die Fledermaus, Don Giovanni, Falstaff, Turandot, Fidelio, La Bohème and Platée, they are now taking on Richard Strauss' Daphne specially for La Monnaie. With a ten-member team of actors, singers and musicians, they strip the music from the text and give the content the chance to resonate in a new way, in an informal setting and in a playful manner. Their spontaneity and improvisation always give these libretto readings great charm and appeal. A fine way of seeing Strauss' Daphne in a new light !

ZF-12478: PluginLoader file cache and scalability
Upon moving to an architecture that is more dependent on helpers than before, we have noticed a substantial decrease in site performance. After doing some benchmarking, enabling the PluginLoaderCache has given us a substantial performance boost (~15%), but we are noticing that it is still inefficient:
PluginLoader has no persistent cache across requests mapping name to classname, so it needs to loop through prefixes and check class_exists() on every one, every time, until it finds the helper it needs.
The filesystem is hit on every prefix (see ZF-11426), resulting in many disk accesses. This is especially pronounced in larger codebases.
The includeFileCache requires that every helper be loaded up front in one big file on every request. This is not scalable for large codebases with many helpers.
We have a couple of potential solutions -
A) Give us an option to auto-load these classes. This could be done by replacing the includeFileCache with a classNameCache which maps $name => $className. Rather than loop through each prefix/name combo with class_exists, and then going to the disk on each one, we could check the name array for $name, return the $className, then allow the auto-loader to manage the class loading.
B) Allow the user to replace PluginLoader entirely with our own logic. I don't think we're the only ones who have a reason to do this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11849531/…

The car-free, Alpine village of Valmorel is an ideal base for all levels of skier, particularly beginners and intermediates, and caters especially well for the family skier. The resort is part of Le Grand Domaine ski area and is connected to the neighbouring resorts of Longchamp and St Francois. Valmorel is set at a high altitude, yet it still offers some of the shortest transfer times to the nearest airport.
The resort itself is stylishly designed with a cobbled, traffic-free main street featuring traditional local wood and stone buildings. It is in this main street where one can find many of the shops, bars and restaurants. Après ski venues range from quiet bars and restaurants, to busier venues complete with live music and a vibrant atmosphere.
If you like not having to fight for the lifts then this is the resort for you .
And if you Do happen to hear an... read full
For those interested in freestyle skiing and snowboarding, Valmorel offers a dedicated snowpark. You can also expect to find boardercross and snowzone areas for those looking for something a little different to the usual runs.
Snow conditions in Valmorel are usually very similar to the nearby Three Valleys and visitors can enjoy views of the striking Mont Blanc mountain range in the distance. The resort is not however as popular as many of its neighbours, therefore you can expect to experience good quality food and drink at cheaper prices.
Beginners are extremely well catered for in the excellent local ski school, having their own reserved area of piste, and gentle tree-lined runs back down to the village making for picturesque enjoyment. There is plenty of opportunity for intermediate skiers, with many blue and red runs to occupy even the most mileage hungry of skiers. As well as the slopes around the village, there are some great opportunities for day long trips to St Francois, Doucy or Longchamp, all on varied blues and reds. The area is often underrated by hardcore advanced level skiers, but the resort actually offers some steep black runs, notably under the Mottet chair, and various off piste opportunities with good snow down towards the Madeleine area.
For 2006/07 season there is a new 6 seater easy access chairlift at La Madeleine. The resort introduced also hands free support which lets you recharge your ski pass on the Internet.
You do not currently have any holidays in your shortlist.

Jon Huntsman's older daughters—Mary Anne, Liddy and Abby—burst into the public consciousness less than a year ago in matching jewel-toned dresses as he announced his candidacy for the 2012 presidential campaign.
But they became famous on Twitter, @Jon2012girls. (Think: slightly political, PG-13 Kardashians.)
So it's fitting they would use social media to cling to their bit of the zeitgeist. And as it turns out, the daughters of Utah's former governor may have longer political legs than their father.
Huntsman daughters Mary Anne, Liddy and Abby, as portrayed in their @jon2012girls Twitter account photo.
Huntsman dropped out of the 2012 race for the GOP nomination in January and has pretty much disappeared, even with the obligatory bird-dogging in the local paper. He went to India with Kissinger. He doesn't plan to run as a third-party candidate. Despite apparently lobbying for the top job at the World Bank, he'll be back running his Dad's cancer foundation and on the board of Ford (the Purgatory post for politicians-in-waiting).
But if Twitter is any indication, while the father is fading, the daughters are chitter-chattering their way to something bigger—in 140 characters or less.
With 24,000 followers, @Jon2012girls continued to tweet: moving from the planking photos and complaints about hotel food of the campaign to congratulating Mitt Romney on his incremental wins and linking to a CNN article about their grandfather Jon Huntsman Sr., a cancer survivor and petrochemical magnate.
"We could not be more proud of the amazing example our Grandpa Huntsman has set in our lives!," they chirped.
Then, last week, the breakup of the conglomerate: Liddy and Abby broke away from @jon2012girls and launched their own Twitter identities. Abby, the married Penn graduate living in New York, already has close to 2,100 followers @HuntsmanAbby, including: CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Luke Russert from NBC and Lynn de Rothschild, the onetime Hillary Clinton supporter who held a fundraiser for Huntsman in her Manhattan penthouse. Liddy, who launched @HuntsmanLiddy the same day as her older sis, is trailing with just shy 1,163 (and counting) followers.
But if any of the sisters will turn Grandpa and Daddy's political coattails into a career, Abby Huntsman Livingston seems the most likely heir apparent.
As in all things Twitter, her tweets veer wildly from the whiny—"Who goes to Starbucks for strawberries and cream anyway?"—to the suck-up—"@piersmorgan great intv with @newtgingrich tonight. Love the skinny dark tie!"
Apparently TV talking heads now consider her qualified to explain the softer side of the campaign. This week, noted political journal Glamour Magazine named her to its "Women in Politics" panel, which includes New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Georgetown University Law student Sandra Fluke, and Nicholle Wallace, former Bush White House Communications director.
And HuffingtonPost has given the former Good Morning America staffer a blog. So far, her posts read like Politics 101 term papers.
There's a chance Abby Huntsman might someday reach the punditocracy ranks of would-be first daughter Meghan McCain.
She still has a long way to go: McCain has 141,700 Twitter followers and a new interview in Playboy.
No word on @HuntsmanAbby about that—yet.
