Morning showers and thunderstorms are likely across Central Indiana. Severe weather is not likely, but a few strong wind gusts and downpours are possible.
By late morning, the rain exits, and afternoon clearing is expected. Winds will gust out of the West up to 25mph as temperatures hit the mid 80s.
Overnight, another cold front pushes through the state. This front doesn't bring rain, but behind it, much cooler air! Lows Tuesday morning will drop to the upper 50s and low 60s. We'll see partly cloudy skies Tuesday with highs in the upper 70s.
The rest of the week looks dry, and check out the temps in the extended forecast!

With summer in full force, everyone is getting outside to enjoy barbecues, pools and each other. When planning a big party or an impromptu dinner, a few summer essential items in your house can make the experience divine.
Here is a list of party essentials that can make you the hostess that everyone emulates.
For a medium size party, cups can be a large size issue. Disposable cups can create a trash nightmare. At the same time, hosts might prefer not to use their good glassware for a lively party. The Wine Traveler by The Product Farm is the wine glass for any party situation. This wine glass is like an adult wine sippy cup. The plastic cup has an internal shape of a classic wine glass. The dual chamber sealed insulation can keep beverages cooler long. With a closeable lid, the design helps to prevent spills. For the outdoor gathering, the lid works as a barrier to bugs and dirt. From the summer sangria to the crisp pinto grigio, the Wine Traveler will keep your beverage safe till you are ready to enjoy.
An ice cold on a warm summer day can be quite refreshing. Keep the beer chilled with the BeerNStein. The 24oz capactity insulated beer tumbler is inspired by the classic German-style beer stein. An optional lid keeps keeps unwanted items from landing in the beer. The larger capacity tumbler can hold 2-12 oz beers. Instead of spending time going back and forth to the refrigerator, you can enjoy spending time with friends or relaxing in the sun. BeerNStein is produced by the Product Farm and retails for $16.99. A variety of colors are available.
Throwing a party means that there will be lots of trash. Still, having trash bags lying around the yard can be cumbersome. Clean Cubes are the convenient and stylish way to keep trash contained. This complete trash solution is composed of a plastic trash liner adhered to a paper bin. In an instant, Clean Cubes can be set up and put to use. Whether used for trash collection, recycling or other simple storage solutions, the Clean Cubes are a must in a busy home. Biodegradable Clean Cubes are available online and come in a variety of sizes. Prices average $5.99.
Have you ever noticed that some summer foods don't store well. How do you cover a cut avocado or keep a lemon fresh? Bags can let in air and the fruits lose their freshness. Food Huggers solve the food left over problem. These re-usable food savers are perfect for summer fruits and vegetables. From saving the tart lemon to keeping the brown away from avocados, Food Huggers can save tons of money by keeping fruits and vegetables fresh. Food Huggers have three options, multi-pack small for $14.99, a set of four for $14.99, and avocado huggers for $9.99.

Originally from Paris, Mélanie Crété moved to London six years ago to pursue a masters in marketing at Westminster. After a few years in fashion PR—and a bit of DJing on the side—she joined Dazed Group to oversee digital marketing. Crété manages the company's social media and digital PR activities as well as contra deals for Dazed & Confused and Another Magazine. Last October, Crété fell in love with Tumblr while researching the platform, and soon launched This or That, her personal blog which follows a regular, two-image post that relates to one theme.
What's hot right now?
Founded by Tom Bioly and Benjamin Fröhlich during Germany's tropical summer of 2006, Permanent Vacation has established itself as a flagship of the disco movement and its variations (such as balearic, cosmic, kraut rock, proto house), releasing music from artists like Tensnake, Aeroplane, Holy Ghost!, Azari & III, Todd Terje, Antena and many others.
What's your must read blog?
I don't really like "reading" online. There are a couple of pictures-based personal blogs I check everyday because I love their style and the selection of images is impressive. Excuse My Avarice and New York City Lights are my favorites.
Apart from that, Another Loves, the recommendation platform from Another Magazine, provides endless inspiration.
What are the digital platforms that creatives use right now?
I'd say showcasing platforms like the Behance Network are very resourceful. I've seen lots of people setting up a Tumblr to showcase their work online but also to share things they found funny or to develop a personal concept—a bit like me with This or That! Tumblr is a very social and playful platform, so easy to use. I love it.

surgery; should I do it?

|View More Posts Ignore
Because my acid reflux is so out of control and I am on triple the dose of meds, my doctor wants me to have the heartburn surgery where they take your stomach and wrap it around your esophugus. I met with the surgeon a couple weeks ago but I have to admit it scares the you-know- what out of me. Has anyone had this type of surgery and can you give me any advice or pros and cons please!

I had the surgery one week ago. I was scared and nervous like you. I was so miserable though and really pretty desperate. So far, so good for me. I am still having pain on on of the surgical sites but NO heartburn, vomiting, reflux, coughing or choking since the procedure. I read so many different things and knew the risks going in so I feel lucky to be doing this well so far. I'm not advocating surgery for you by any means. Just sharing my story. Ask your surgeon what his success rate has been. Best wishes to you!

Try a naturalpath and or chiropractor first. They have helped me greatly. They can pull the stomach muscle down and help close the valve. Also Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar helps. You need acid to digest food and taking it out you deplete all the vitamins and minerals. Doctors have it wrong by making you take the meds. When we get older and stress causes acid depletion and that opens the stomach valve. A good probiotic and digestive enzyme do wonders. Read this article first as well. My doctor told me it would make my digestion worse. And you have anxiety. That can make the stomach very distressed. Calm the anxiety calm the stomach. I wouldn't be so quick to run to surgery because it's not always the answer. Try other routes first.

I had the Nissan Fundoplacation back in 2001, and have been
symptom free ever since. I did experience a lot of discomfort and
loose stools for a while. For me it was worth it.

Thanks Chris! I am curious, have you had any problems with food getting "stuck" or bloating problems? Also, my other main concern is that I heard when you are sick with something like the stomach flu that you can't throw up if you need to and so that can cause additional problems. Have you had any experiences witht his, if you don't mind my asking?

I had Nissen Fundoplication done in 2003. it completely changed my life.... for the better. I feel like a completely different person. If I could go back in time I'd have had the surgery done a long time before I did. I had trouble with bloating and had to make dietary changes. They were pretty easy adjustments. Prior to the surgery I was completely miserable. Quite honestly, I wanted to die. I never had trouble with food getting stuck but I did have a little trouble with pills once in a while. I learned to adapt. It is definitely life changing but for me it was for the better...much better. I had advanced Barrett's esophagus and was miserable before. Since the surgery, I have had heartburn twice. Once giving birth and once in early pregnancy with my 2nd baby. I've been sick a coupple of times and nothing comes up. you just have the dry heaves. No fun but not too horrible. I attribute my success to having a phenomenal surgeon (Dr. Lee Swanstrom in Portland, OR). He is definitely a pioneer in his field and world renowned for his superior results. I think a good surgeon is critical. I'd be happy to answer any question you might have about my experience. Good Luck!!

"Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together."~Unknown
A few months ago, things were really bad for me. I lost one of my best friends, co-workers came back to work with bad attitudes, and my new 6th graders were irritatingly bad. Not to mention, the work load for this school year quadrupled.
To say it was raining turds and urine is simply an understatement.
Crap was flying at me out of left field and I was left with pain, bewilderment, and that feeling you get when you've just been run over by an eighteen wheeler. What's that feeling?
Oh yea...dead.
I was dead. The walking emotionally slaughtered.
I didn't know how to deal at first. I was shellshocked. It's said that people who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder feel emotionally numb, especially around people that they care about.
I've mimicked these behaviors for the last few months because I couldn't get a grasp on what was happening in my life. I snapped at people who I'm usually kind to. I was short and impatient with family members. I was just a total bitch.
Inside the same thoughts trail blazed through my mind. How can people who say they love you hurt you to the core of your being? How can someone talk to you one day and then act like you don't exist the next? How can there be no laws prohibiting procreation for people who do not know how to raise their children?
These thoughts ran rampant in my head for many days as I zombied through each hour. (In addition to "why me", and "I'm a good person I deserve better than this!")
And then...I did something unthinkable. Something so utterly drastic, I had to pinch myself to believe that, I, Shay Banks, was going to do this.
I followed my mom's example. I stopped complaining.
My mom was diagnosed with A.L.S. 3 years ago at the tender age of 48. She is completely disabled now and requires total care.
She doesn't complain.
She makes sure she laughs everyday. She's usually in a good mood (unless the Dallas Cowboys lose). And, boy, she can talk you ear off! Every person that encounters my mom, falls in love with her. I have to admit, she is a character. And the strength that she has shown me in the last 3 years is literally beyond admirable.
"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength." ~Unknown
I figure if an active woman who becomes disabled at her peak doesn't complain, then dammit, neither should I. So I detoxed.
Yea, you read right.
I did a complaint-detox. The results have been incredible.
Complaining makes me feel small. It makes me feel powerless. I feel like a victim.
You are the creator of your own reality, is the First Universal Truth.
If that's true, then betcha by golly wow, I'm no victim! Somehow, someway, my wires got crossed and a lot of crap started entering in my life. I stayed quiet about behaviors that unnerved me when instead I should have something. I ended up paying the price. I complained about it because I didn't know what else to do.
The buck stops here.
I'm done. No complaining or blaming. No victim speeches. No "this is what's been happening to me." No "I can't believe this has happened to me."
Nope. I'm done.
The results have allowed awesome opportunities to open up (or maybe it's my eyes are now open to what was already there). My next move is clearer now. I'm no longer wasting time looking at the shut door and wondering why it was closed on me. I'm going into arenas that bring me joy and love. To top it off, my irritatingly bad 6th graders, haven't seemed as unbearable lately. In fact...dare I say...I like the kiddos now, which is a HUGE jump considering where I started.
So how can you enjoy the same mental and emotional freedom?
For the next 7 days, try doing this:
Wipe your slate clean. You get to start over today. Today is your New Year or your birthday. You are renewed from this day forth. Everything bad that's happened, just dump it in the trash. Erase those "why me" thoughts.
This may be extreme, but it frickin' worked for me. Every time I thought a complaint or complained out loud, I pinched my neck or acted like I was cutting my wrists. It was my reminder that complaining steals time from me and causes stress, which shortens my life. After "play" slitting my wrists, I'd stop and focus on what's in front of me.
Look at every situation and see how you created it. This was a reality check for me! Once you take responsibility for what's going on around you, you're back in the driver seat. You see other ways to act, think, and be and you transform. The transformation seems to happen overnight...and everyone begins to notice.
WARNING: You will back slide. You will still have complaining moments, but you won't have complaining hours or days. You'll catch yourself mid-complaint and stop and do something else.
Will you join me on this Complaint-Free Journey? It's simple, follow the 3 principles I've outlined up above. (tweak them as needed) Add some of your own to the mix and begin living every day with the intention of NOT complaining. No complaints. At all.
Daunting, I know. But try it, even if just for 7 days. It worked for me, it works for my mom, and I know from the bottom of my heart, it'll work for you too.

The idea is that my girlfriend is imagining herself in a new car to decide if that's the one that fits for her. It was made using still pics of cat toys and the truck. I drew and animated everything using photoshop and premiere... Teresa drew the flamingo.

Stanford Cardinal (16-8, 7-5 Pac-12)
USC Trojans (10-15, 1-11 Pac-12)
Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 • 8 p.m.
Stanford, Calif. • Maples Pavilion (7,233)
Series History: USC leads 123-121
Last Meeting: Stanford 79, USC 71 - OT (Jan. 26, 2014 at Los Angeles, Calif.)
Radio: KNBR 1050 AM (PBP: Scott Reiss, Analyst: John Platz)
KZSU 90.1 FM (PBP: Shawn Tuteja, Analyst: John Treat)
TV: P12NET (PBP: JB Long, Analyst: Don MacLean)
The Opening Tip
Stanford (16-8, 7-5 Pac-12) is back at Maples Pavilion for four of its final six games, beginning the stretch on Thursday against USC (10-15, 1-11 Pac-12). The Cardinal is coming off another road split, defeating Washington State 69-56 on Saturday. There are three weeks remaining before the Pac-12 Tournament gets underway.
Media Memo
The game can be heard on KNBR 1050 AM, featuring the insightful duo of Scott Reiss (play-by-play) and John Platz (analyst). KZSU 90.1 FM provides coverage with Shawn Tuteja (play-by-play) and John Treat (analyst). The contest will be televised on Pac-12 Networks, with JB Long (play-by-play) and Don MacLean (analyst) calling the action.
Scouting USC
USC (10-15, 1-11 Pac-12) has lost six in a row, winning once since December. The Trojans' only conference victory was a 77-69 home victory at California last month ... Only one of USC's last six losses has been decided by more than 10 points ... The Trojans compiled a 9-5 record during non-conference play, posting notable wins over Xavier and Dayton ... USC is averaging 71.8 points and 38.0 rebounds while shooting 44.6 percent overall ... The Trojans allow 75.6 points and shoot a league-worst 29.4 percent from distance ... Keep an eye on: Byron Wesley (17.6 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 45.7 percent FG), Pe'Shon Howard (10.4 ppg, 73.0 percent FT, 103 assists, 37 steals), Omar Oraby (8.8 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 58 blocks).
Stanford All-Time vs. USC
USC leads the all-time series at 123-121. The last five meetings have been split, with Stanford claiming a 79-71 overtime victory in Los Angeles last month. USC swept last year's series, prevailing 71-69 at the Galen Center and 65-64 at Maples Pavilion. Stanford is looking to sweep the season series for the first time since in 2012.
Notable Career Totals Against USC
Josh Huestis is averaging 9.8 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 26-49 (53.0 percent) from the field in seven games. His 69 total points against USC are his most against any Pac-12 club. Also in seven appearances, Dwight Powell has totaled nearly as many rebounds (51) than points (52) while averaging 7.4 points. Chasson Randle (11.4 ppg, 20-52 FG) and Anthony Brown (7.4 ppg, 13-40 FG) have each played five games against USC.
Takeaways From The Washington State Game
Anthony Brown scored a career-high 30 points, fueling Stanford past Washington State 69-56 on Saturday afternoon to sweep the season series for the first time since 2008 ... Brown scored 20 of his points in the first half, becoming the first player to reach that total since Dec. 15, 2012, when Dwight Powell scored all 20 second-half points against UC Davis ... Stanford led throughout the entire game, racing out to a 39-24 halftime lead and shooting 43.9 percent overall. The Cardinal shot 63.2 percent over the game's first 20 minutes ... The Cardinal converted 27-36 from the foul line, led by Brown's 10-11 performance ... Chasson Randle added 14 points for Stanford, which earned its third conference road split and improved to 7-1 in games following a loss ... Stanford won despite season-low totals in field goals (18) and field goal attempts (41) ... Washington State was limited to 31.4 percent shooting and made 9-29 from long range.
Pac-12's Best Road Team Is Resilient
Two reasons why Stanford is projected as an NCAA Tournament team? First, the Cardinal has shown resiliency, posting a 7-1 record in games following a loss. That's been most evident in Pac-12 play, where the Cardinal has won the second game of a road trip after losing the first on three occasions. It's the first time any Cardinal team has accomplished that since Pac-10 play debuted in 1979. Second, it helps to have the best road record in the Pac-12. Stanford is 6-3 overall (4-3 in conference games, plus victories at Denver and No. 10/10 Connecticut).
Huestis On Verge Of Career Blocks Record
A strong candidate for Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Josh Huestis is averaging 10.8 points and a team-best 8.1 rebounds. But he's also looking to make history. Huestis is sitting on 166 career blocks, two away from becoming Stanford's all-time leader. The current record of 167 is held by Tim Young (1994-99). A few tidbits on Huestis' quest for the record:
Six of Huestis' 166 career blocks have come against USC over seven career games ... Huestis has done his damage in essentially three years, totaling 45 blocks this year after 71 as a junior and 43 as a sophomore. Huestis blocked only seven shots as a freshman ... At 6-7, Huestis is almost half a foot shorter than seven-footers Tim Young (167 - 1st), Robin Lopez (156 - 3rd) and Curtis Borchardt (146 - 4th) ... Huestis has blocked at least four shots in a game on 10 occasions, including a career-high 10 rejections against Seattle on Nov. 28, 2012 ... Only three players boast career marks of at least 500 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks: Huestis (877, 734, 166), Tim Young (1544, 1070, 167) and Howard Wright (1599, 860, 121).
Brown Latest To Cash In At Charity Stripe
Anthony Brown became the third Cardinal player this year to attempt at least 10 free throws in a game when he finished 10-11 from the foul line against Washington State. Dwight Powell (five times) and Randle (three times) have also accomplished the feat. Stanford is shooting 70.7 percent from the charity stripe while averaging 24.9 attempts per game.
Protecting The Basketball
Stanford was forced into 12 turnovers in the victory against Washington State, representing the first time in five games the Cardinal had committed more than nine miscues. Stanford has tallied 264 overall, ranking 31st in the nation for fewest turnovers.

Homeschool curriculum catalogues can swallow you if you are not sure for what gem you are looking. Winter is the time of year to start flipping through those pages and marking with sticky notes or highlighters those items you think might further your educational journey with your children.
Some of the best I have seen come from Christianbook.com and Rainbowresource.com. These have great descriptions of everything from Saxon Math, to Apologia, to unit studies and biographies. Some of the best features are the personal reviews of the products. The Rainbow Resource catalogue is larger than a phone book, and has some of the most extensive reviews and descriptions that can be found for homeschool curriculum. Both catalogues can be sent to you free of charge by requesting them at the websites.
It is important to start searching for your next homeschool curriculum help and resource now because spring can be the best time to buy these items. The prices are historically lower at homeschool book retail locations and families are doing their spring cleaning. Many families are finding that there are several wonderful sites to buy and sell those used (or sometimes just new and dusty) books.
Some of these sites are: 1) Vegsource 2) Homeschool Classifieds http://www.hand 3) Second Harvest Curriculum.
Also check out your local homeschool support group. Many have online groups or web sites with options for listing items for sale, and this would save on the shipping. As with any purchase online, ask questions, request photos, and clarify shipping schedules and costs. Starting now gives you something to do on these cold winter days and gives you the time to find the curriculum you need at the best prices.

The PC Isn't Dead, It's Just Gone 'Ultramobile'
Carol Kopp
Intel may be the only clear beneficiary of a category that is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years.
Did you hear that the desktop PC is dead? Well,
Except that it isn't really dead. It has just morphed into a smaller, sleeker, portable device. That device—a fully functional personal computer that is light enough to tote around—has gone under many names since some marketing ace decided that "laptop" was just too old hat, implying a thing that hadn't quite evolved.
The Gartner Group has now dubbed it the "ultramobile."
Whatever you call it, it doesn't take a ton of research to conclude that most people will prefer a true workhorse PC that is portable, for personal or professional use, to one that isn't. It is now technically feasible to build it. What's not to like?
As an investor, nothing, if you expect that the ultramobile device will take the place of the desktop personal computer in a range of computing devices that now also includes the tablet PC and the smartphone.
That hasn't happened yet. The first ultramobile models were introduced more than a year ago, but they have barely registered on the consumer wavelength as an option. During the same period, tablets took hold as the primary device for consumers and business users who never really needed or used the full functionality of a PC.
The ultramobile should stake a claim in the long-awaited workplace PC replacement cycle, except we're still awaiting that, too. If the desktop PC is dead, something has to replace it as the workhorse productivity tool, and it's not going to be a smartphone or a tablet.
Gartner Group offers an optimistic forecast going forward.
Its latest prediction
is that worldwide sales of all of the above devices—personal computers, tablets and smartphones—will increase 9% this year, to 2.4 billion units. In sheer numbers, projecting out through 2017, Gartner expects mobile phones to continue to dominate, while traditional PCs, including the ill-fated notebook category, decline and tablet sales increase sharply.
But in the same period, its analysis sees sales in the ultramobile category growing exponentially, from fewer than 10 million in 2012 to more than 23 million this year, and 96 million by 2017.
That means good news and bad news for
(NASDAQ:MSFT), creator of the Windows operating system that overwhelmingly dominated the desktop era but already comes in second to
(NASDAQ:GOOG) Android system when all three categories of devices are considered. Gartner expects that trend to continue, with Android ending 2017 with overall sales more than double that of Windows.
Whoa! Is Microsoft dead, too? No. Remember, that figure includes smartphones, the largest category by a big margin and one that is dominated by the Android operating system. Both companies will still be ahead of
(NASDAQ:AAPL) in terms of sheer sales numbers, which nicely illustrates the fact that volume doesn't matter as much as profit margin. And overall, sales of the workhorses—ultramobile and desktop combined—are seen rising by 5% by 2017.
Whatever you read to the contrary, nobody knows whether Microsoft's radically new Windows 8 operating system will be a slowly building success story or an utter disaster. Investors in both Google and Apple obviously are expecting and rooting for the latter.
At this point, all of this is seen as bad news for PC vendors and PC manufacturers. And it is, at least for the short term.
But in the long term, some of those companies will successfully make the transition from seller of desktop PCs to seller of ultramobiles, no matter which operating system succeeds or fails.
Who might that be?
(NASDAQ:INTC) is certainly a name to watch. Gartner had to invent the name "ultramobile" because Intel trademarked the name "ultrabook" to identify and market mobile computers that use its newest line of chips, which are designed to carry the power of a desktop in a lighter mobile size.
One important point here is that Intel has said that it expects to have
ultrabooks on the shelves
starting at $599 by late 2013. That's a huge advantage over the early models, which are priced at around $900-$1,000, making them an unlikely pick for any consumer or business professional who can get along with a tablet's more limited functionality, or delay replacing an older PC.
Intel's advantage is that it wins if any manufacturer succeeds with an ultrabook, among the many who are trying.
As quarterly earnings start flowing in, there is little hope that we'll get a better idea of which brands are actually beginning to gain traction with consumers. Expectations are rock bottom for all of them for many reasons, key among them the wariness about Windows 8, the high price of current models, and the generally lousy economy.
We can pretty much write off
(NASDAQ:DELL) in advance. The company is expected to go private soon, in order to struggle with that transition outside the harsh glare of the stock market.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by go7404 Heavenly scone and so easy! I wasn't expecting that this mix would be so good and so easy - just add water. This is my favorite flavor so far; first bite was so unexpectedly good! Like a favorite bakery scone not like a quick mix at home when in a hurry. Recommend this highly! June 16, 2014

College Hockey:Sweden's PPGs Send U.S. Home From Worlds Without Medal
BERN, Switzerland — A third-period power play goal two days earlier kept the United States out of the gold-medal game at the World Championship.
On Sunday, another one kept the Americans from taking home a medal.
Carl Gunnarsson broke a 2-2 tie with 11 minutes remaining, and Sweden added an empty-net goal for a 4-2 victory.
Sweden claimed the bronze medal; the Americans finished fourth but moved up a spot to fifth in the world rankings.
"I thought our young team deserved a little better fate in the tournament," U.S. coach Ron Wilson said. "We're disappointed as we came here to win a medal, but our guys left it all out on the ice and that's all you can ask."
Former Michigan defenseman Jack Johnson and former Wisconsin center Joe Pavelski scored for the United States.
Sweden was 4-for-8 on the power play. On Friday, Russia broke a 2-2 tie with the U.S. thanks to a late power-play goal.
Russia claimed its second straight gold medal with a 2-1 victory over Canada.

Before I had the chance to see this documentary I received several long-distance calls from old friends from the former German anti-Apartheid Movement, saying, that by all means I should try to see this extraordinary film. Indeed, when I attended the screening of this documentary I was very impressed and deeply touched. It was so different campared to other films and reports with regards to South Africa or other African countries. Usually when showing people`s problems and poor living conditions,commentaries are made talking about those concerned but this documentary is giving a voice to the voiceless.We meet them and listen to what Ashraf, Mne, Zoliswa and Arnold have to say when talking about their traumatic experiences during Apartheid times, deep wounds that would never heal, engraved into mind and soul. People in the townships are explaining how their hopes and visions got disppointed, because their poverty conditions have not changed much in the new democratic South Africa. When talking about eviction methods of CapeTown authorities that reminds them of similar evictions during Apartheid times, they are not only expressing their sufferings, frustrations and anger.We get to know from first hand how actively they are engaged in their anti-eviction campaign, and of course power women are in the frontline. It shows how the spirit of those is still alive who once sacrificed their lives for the liberation of their country. Listening to what people in the townships let us know, one can identify oneself with their anti-eviction campaign .
As a sociologist I would like to propose that this documentary:" When a mountain meets its shadow", deserves still more awards besides the nomination for the Max Orpheuls prize. This documentary makes aware: together people are strong to fight for their basic rights in life. It delivers the very important message: it is quite easy to break a single stick, but it is impossible to break a bundle of sticks tied together.

The Sony ICDBX112 Digital Voice Recorder has 2GB of internal flash memory, providing sufficient storage capacity for more than 500 hours of MP3 audio recordings at 8 kbps. Even at 192 kbps, the ICDBX112 can yield over 22 hours of high-quality MP3 recordings. Between the four MP3 recording rates, mic flexibility, extensive features and affordability - the ICDBX112 is a fitting digital voice recorder for chronicling class lectures, capturing live music, documenting board meetings and even just recording daily reminders and preserving oral to-do-lists.
Designed for straightforward, manageable voice and audio recordings, the ICDBX112 features a built-in monaural microphone, outfitted with Hi/Lo gain sensitivity control. It also supports Voice Operated Recording (VOR). Advantageous and truly handy, VOR allows you to audibly signal the start of a recording without ever pushing the record button. It's invaluable if you need to place the recorder out of reach or maybe across a room. It's also beneficial for eliminating the inevitable fumbling sounds that are recorded as you lift and set down a live microphone.
Conducive to quick and easy operation, the ICDBX112's LCD display is backlit and the navigation keys make it simple to move through the folders, functions and menus. Also designed for simplicity, the tactile REC & Play buttons are over-sized and centrally located on the recorder (similar to a mobile phone). The LCD screen can display the recording's date and time, as well as the remaining and elapsed time. It also works this way in playback mode. Easing any confusion as to what modes, functions and settings you're using at any point, the ICDBX112 is also equipped with revealing operational LED indicators to identify what's in use.
Quality RecordingFor enhanced recording quality, the ICDBX112 features an MP3 192 kbps recording rate, Low-Cut & Noise-Cut features for eliminating distracting background noise during recordings and playback. The monaural microphone also has Hi/Lo gain sensitivity settings for enhanced control over recording quality
LCD Display & Ease of UseGreatly easing the recording process is the VOR feature, which facilitates Voice Operated Recording. The ICDBX112 is also equipped with a large, easy to read LCD display with viewing screen that facilitates speedy locating, updating and identifying files, folders and functional settings. There is a set of intuitive keys as well, which allow you to adjust several functions and quickly navigate the LCD menu display screens. Plus the Play and REC buttons are large and easy to see
Playback FeaturesThe ICDBX112 allows users to set optimum playback conditions and then listen back through the 300mW integrated speaker or via headphones. You can use Digital Pitch Control during playback to speed up the track without disturbing the pitch. The Noise-Cut eliminates unwanted background noise and the A-B Repeat feature allows markers to be set on a recording for quick fast-forward, rewind and repeat between the set points on any given track. There's even an Easy Search feature for quickly locating your desired file
Easy EditingWith a possible 495 files stored throughout a total of 5 folders (99 files per folder), it's easy to access the file you need. The ICDBX112 can erase files, divide files, move them between folders and provide added protection to important data. The ICDBX112 also comes with Sound Organizer software for PC & Mac
Enhanced Performance & EditingThe ICDBX112 can hold 500+ hrs of recording time on its 2GB internal flash memory. Plus, when recording for lengthy periods of time, the dual AAA batteries are designed to last an impressive 55 hrs
With a variety of features including Continuous Play, Easy Search, Noise-Cut, A-B Repeat and Digital Pitch Control, the affordable ICDBX112 is a fitting digital voice recorder for high-school and college students, as well as corporate professionals. Sony also provides Low-Cut Filter Protection, erase and divide options, the useful Add/Overwrite Recording function and the Direct Record to Play feature.
Another benefit enjoyed by the ICDBX112 user is its portability. Small, lightweight, and powered by two tiny AAA batteries, the ICDBX112 can record for an incredible 55 hours between battery changes. For more efficient time spent working in the field, Sony accented the ICDBX112 with an integrated 300mW front speaker for listening back over recordings out loud. If you prefer or need privacy, there is a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output that can also be used as a line-out for connecting larger speakers. The ICDBX112 features a 3.5 mm stereo mic input as well. You can use an external microphone to record in MP3 format through the ICDBX112; employing Sony's Mic Stereo Recording Function during the record makes even stereo recordings possible through the regularly monaural ICDBX112 Digital Voice Recorder.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) plumbed its 52-week low last Monday. But thanks to better-than-expected earnings and an upgrade, RIMM added more than 15% through today's opening bell.
So is RIMM stock making a comeback?
All right, all right, I'll let the laughter die down before continuing.
Who honestly believes in the long-term viability of BlackBerry smartphones or the forgettable PlayBook tablet? And who is longer than a few weeks tops in RIMM stock?
Consider that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sold 5 million units of the iPhone 5 in its first weekend alone. And while Apple has the margins and user experience locked up, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is the clear leader in market share with its open-source Android OS in almost 7 of 10 smartphones globally.
Research In Motion and its BlackBerry platform? It's in third place and moving phones like molasses … with less than 5% global market share. And if you add up legacy Symbian-powered phones from Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows phone OS together — the two joined forces in early 2011 — then Research In Motion gets bumped off the podium altogether.
Come on: Who do you know that uses a BlackBerry? Of those that do, have they ever used an iPhone or slick Android phone and not felt like they are missing out?
I'll tell you who uses BlackBerry phones: my dad. He gives the typical BlackBerry endorsement: that he couldn't live without a QWERTY keyboard.
Think this touch-vs.-tactile thing is overblown? I don't. It speaks volumes for the archetype of BlackBerry users.
I love my father, but this is a guy who types with two fingers on his laptop, still makes drawings pixel-by-pixel in MS Paint, and for years while I was growing up, paid for both AOL (NYSE:AOL) and high-speed Internet because he didn't want to figure out another way to use email. If AOL hadn't made AIM and e-mail free, he still would be paying them a monthly fee.
In short, BlackBerry is the past … not the future. In a post-PC age, it is clinging to the PC keyboard, and it's fair to read as much as you want into that fact.
OK, philosophical rant over. Let's get to the meat:
Sure, RIM shares popped on better-than-expected earnings that included stronger sales than forecast, with a surprise rise in subscribers. But in regards to the bottom line, it was simply less bad — a loss of 27 cents as opposed to 47 cents. A much smaller shortfall to be sure, but still a company deeply in the red. RIM execs said the company will lose money every quarter in fiscal 2013. And it is projected to post an annual loss again in fiscal 2014. Revenue is caught in a downdraft ,too.
Research In Motion also had to address concerns about yet another network outage that, if it were to happen again, could obliterate confidence in the tech company. Make fun of the new Apple iPhone maps app all you want, but at least the entire phone doesn't stop working properly.
There's also the issue of Playbook selling a mere 130,000 units last quarter. Last quarter apple sold 17 million iPads. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is notoriously tight-lipped about the Kindle, but all experts calculated it selling easily north of a million units quarterly and perhaps selling as many as 7 million quarterly before this new Kindle Fire HD launch. Then there's Samsung, unloading more than 2 million Galaxy tabs last quarter. The numbers speak for themselves.
Oh yeah, and a whopping 45 of the 47 brokerage firms following RIMM stock rate the shares a "hold" or worse, compared to just two "buy" ratings. There was an upgrade from Scotia Capital last week … but that was simply from underperform to sector perform.
And let's not overlook the rather embarrassing cover of "Keep on Loving You," where RIMM employees serenade developers, going viral — in a bad way. This is a company that looks desperate, not a company that you want to invest in.
What's the compelling reason to believe in RIMM stock? Do you really think the BB 10 OS will be good enough to contend with Apple and Google, or just good enough to slow the bleeding? Do you really think the brand hasn't suffered irreparable harm — akin to Kodak (PINK:EKDKQ), which once was an iconic name but eventually became synonymous with analog technology in a digital age?
Yes, the company has almost $2 billion in cash and short-term investments. But what can it acquire to fill in the gaps?
The PlayBook is doomed to fail. And while the BlackBerry remains viable for the short-term thanks to a new line of phones set for January release to a loyal core of BlackBerry users, it's hard to believe the new line of RIM devices will go toe-to-toe with Android- and Apple-powered gadgets.
And even if they do? Well, if you take that huge leap of faith, that would only catch up Research In Motion on the technology side. It's impossible for anyone who has followed the tech industry to ignore the cold reality that BlackBerry devices do not have "sex appeal" with consumers.
In short, the RIMM stock pop seems to be a short squeeze and a momentum shift based on the idea that this company might not go bankrupt as soon as some bears thought.
Trust me, BlackBerry and RIM will go the way of Palm eventually. They won't go bankrupt this year or even next year. But it's only a matter of time before this company disappears forever.

Countdown to the top
10 gadgets of 2007
By Sabrina Hariri
Drumroll, please. Here are the
10 medical devices we think were the most innovative,
useful or just plain cool from 2007.
Asthma 'breathalyzer' predicts attacks
Your patients can predict an asthma attack weeks before
it happens by blowing into this nanosensor, and medicate
accordingly, say University of Pittsburgh researchers.
The hand-held device spits out a nitric oxide reading.
The gas levels spike as the airways become inflamed
with asthma.
Image courtesy of EchoSens
Ouchless liver biopsies have arrived
Spare your patients painful biopsies the FibroScan
assesses liver damage in minutes by sending out elastic
waves through the liver. Fast-travelling waves mean
healthy tissue, while slower waves indicate cirrhosis.
Remote cardiac control
Cardiologists can monitor their defibrillator implant
patients from a distance with LATITUDE. The device downloads
patient data heart rate, rhythm, delivered treatment,
weight and blood pressure when the patient stands
next to it. Docs then access the data by logging onto
a secure website.
Wounds ready for their close up
Keep picture records of your patient's wound as it heals
with SilhouetteMobile, a handheld computer with camera
attachment. It takes the guess-work out of measuring
tissue damage and extent of injury, and the pix can
be stored in your EHR system.
GreeneChip IDs infections in a flash
Patient with a rare infection? No worries, the GreeneChip
will identify it. This tiny lab-on-a-slide has 30,000
samples of genetic material from viruses, bacteria,
fungi and parasites. Just add a sample of your patient's
urine, stool or blood and presto! You've got your diagnosis.
CT heart slice 'n' dice
The Philips Brilliance 256-slice CT scanner produces
3D body images in under a minute and cuts your
patient's exposure to x-rays by 80%. Images can be rotated
and examined from different angles so docs can look
for tumours.
Mini-computer brings EHR into 21st century
The light-weight Motion M5 mini-computer allows instant
access to patient records, checks vital signs wirelessly
and has a built-in camera to help you monitor your patient's
Fantastic Voyage for tummy troubles
The multivitamin-sized SmartPill has sensors and a radio
transponder inside. Once ingested, it travels through
the GI tract gathering data on pH, mechanical pressure
and temperature, then sends it to a receiver worn by
the patient. Download the data on your computer and
diagnose your patient in minutes.
Collapsed lung pinpointed in seconds
Electrosonics Medical Inc's pneumothorax detector is
a portable device that uses micropower-impulse radar
technology to scout air pockets around the lungs. It
would help EMT units spot a collapsed lung within seconds.
And the
most innovative, useful and cool gadget of 2007 is �
Old faithful stethoscope gets high-tech makeover
The battery-powered ViScope comes loaded with an LCD
screen, an adjustable volume and a signal amplifier.
It monitors cardiac activity by bouncing low voltage
radio waves off the heart, then translates the outcome
into audio and video signals.

The Killer
Today, Minnesota Twins fans, baseball fans, and the world at large lost a hero with the passing of Harmon Killebrew at age 74 due to esophogeal cancer.
There are so many tributes to Harm floating around in cyberspace that I don't even know where to begin. Heck, I didn't even see the guy play, but when EVERYONE who know says he was their hero as a child, a legend is pretty much the closest way of describing him.
I could go so many directions here, but I'll keep it short and say this: When all is said in done, it really doesn't matter how many home runs he hit or how many ballgames he won/lost. Those moments may produce a lot of nostalgia, but the real reason there are a lot of misty eyes in Minnesota right now is because of the type of man Harmon was. I've never heard a harsh word said about him from anyone, and he was always a model for a good, clean, simple life filled with the things and people he loved. Referencing the "hook" of the above video tribute, I think that Harmon DID get all those letters (or at least tried!). He also valued them deeply.
When Babe Ruth, the greatest pre-Harmon slugger, was dying of cancer (also of the throat, oddly enough), he was known to quip "The termites have got me." Well, sadly those same "termites" got Harm today, along with a big portion of Minnesota childhood for the baby boomers.
As far as relating this to the current Twins team that is mired in a deep slump, I remember a certain ballclub just a few years ago that turned a tragic event:
…into the inspiration for a remarkable comeback. That team, of course, was the 2006 Twins, who (on May 17) were 9.5 GB in the division and ended up going to the playoffs.
Preview (12-27, 5th, 3.5 GB CWS): Francisco Liriano (2-5, 7.07) vs. Felix Hernandez (4-3, 3.36)

Genre: Drama,
Rating: R
Duration: 1hr 53min
A bloodied woman staggers mute and dazed into the emergency room at the Dempsy Medical Center. After treatment for shock and hysteria, Brenda Martin recounts to Dempsy police detective Lorenzo Council a horrific tale of being carjacked on the isolated strip of undeveloped land that divides Dempsy's urban housing projects from the blue collar town of Gannon, where she lives. She claims she was forced out of her car by a black man, but during the interrogation Council senses he's not getting the whole story. Only after hours of questioning does Brenda finally break down and confess that her four-year-old son, Cody, was asleep in the back seat of the stolen car. Led by activist Karen Collucci, members of the communities of Dempsy and Gannon unite in a search for the missing child, but the criminal investigation into the alleged kidnapping by a suspect who is presumed to be a local from the projects soon ignites long-simmering racial tensions between the two towns.

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Athletes have helmets, drivers buckle up with seatbelts, and it turns out that moving sperm are protected too -- by a protein that forms an anti-microbial shield around the cells as they travel through the reproductive tract, researchers now report.
The findings suggest that boosting levels of the protein, called human beta-defensin 1 (DEFB1) in sperm might help improve male fertility. DEFB1 is found in many parts of the body, including the reproductive tract, but its role in regulating male fertility has not been investigated. Now, Ruiying Diao and colleagues show that the protein can be released from the reproductive tract, bind to sperm, and form a shield that protects male reproductive cells against viruses, bacteria and fungi. Diao and colleagues focused on male patients with one of two common causes of infertility: poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia) or genital tract infection (leukocytospermia).
The researchers found that DEFB1 levels in both patient groups were reduced compared to men with normal, fertile sperm, suggesting DEFB1 might play a role in these conditions' pathogenesis, respectively. To further explore this, Diao and colleagues incubated recombinant DEFB1 (a chunk of the normal DEFB1 protein), with sperm cells from the infertile patients and observed that treated sperm had improved motility, working antimicrobial protection and increased egg-penetrating capacity. The results hint that it may be possible to develop drugs that treat defective sperm with recombinant DEFB1 protein.

Dolvett Quince initially became famed as the trainer for celebrities such as Angela Bassett. Now, as one of the training trio on "The Biggest Loser," he hopes to share his knowledge of what it takes to lose weight with a series of exercise DVDs. Dolvett discussed his workout weight loss wisdom in a March 28 interview with the Buffalo News.
And he admits that, just like dieting, exercise isn't easy.
"I think that everyone, to some degree, doesn't like the pain" that accompanies working out and eliminating favorite foods.
Aware that many overweight people stay away from gyms, Dolvett decided to create a workout DVD that could provide them with a way to exercise in the privacy of their own homes. It also solves the time crunch for business travelers and busy moms, he added.
"It spoke to overweight people who didn't think they were in good enough shape to get to the gym. It spoke to stay-at-home moms. And it spoke to the men and women who travel or are constantly on the go," he explained.
Dolvett also teamed up with fellow trainer Bob Harper to create a variety of different fitness DVDs:
- "Biggest Loser: 8 Minute Body Blasters" (click for details)
- "Biggest Loser: At Home Challenge"
- "Biggest Loser: 6 Week Cardio Crush"
But diet counts too when it comes to winning at weight loss, emphasizes Dolvett. His new diet book seeks to take off the pounds and keep them off by providing a way to cheat on your food plan at strategic intervals: "The 3-1-2-1 Diet: Eat and Cheat Your Way to Weight Loss--up to 10 Pounds in 21 Days" (click for details).
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Dolvett explained that the "3-1-2-1" refers to days of the week:
- Three days out of the week, eat a clean diet (lean protein, green vegetables, and a smart carb such as a yam
- On the fourth day of the week, have a planned cheat such as a slice of cake
- On the fifth day, go back to eating clean again.
How this works: Dolvett says this approach boosts your metabolism while giving you a healthy lifestyle that won't leave you feeling deprived. The goal: Achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
When it comes to healthy weights, Dolvett recently got some heat when Rachel Frederickson, whom he trained on "The Biggest Loser," won for dropping from 260 pounds to an underweight 105 pounds.
He recently told TMZ that he plans to work with Rachel to help her regain some of those pounds.
"We're going to get her healthy. She's going to be all right," he said, noting that he's working with her pro bono.
Dolvett's colleague Bob Harper offers a different take on the most effective workout. His view: Go for whole body workouts, in particular air squats, he said in a March 28 interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Author of "Jumpstart to Skinny: The Simple 3-Week Plan for Supercharged Weight Loss," Bob says the air squat is the winner because it combines a lower body workout with cardio. He's a fan of the Tabata method, designed to get the most results in the least amount of time. Example:
- 20 seconds of movement
- 10 seconds of rest
- Repeat for eight rounds.
Bob features that method in his fitness DVD: "Bob Harper: Pure Burn Super Strength."

My daughter recently had a cockatiel given to her that had no feathers on its head and the wings were cut; but whoever cut the wings cut them too short and every time it flaps it wings it starts to bleed. Is this something that will heal? It has been like this for four months.
If your cockatiel's having bleeding problems, you need to take it to a vet to have those feathers that were cut too short removed. It is possible for it to bleed to death, if left unattended. The feathers should grow in when your 'tiel goes through it's next molt.
