LATimes has a report that says reading on the iPad before sleep impacts sleep patterns.
Staring at the screen before bed could leave you lying awake. That's because direct exposure to such abnormal light sources inhibits the body's secretion of melatonin, say several sleep experts.
Light-emitting devices, including cellphones and yep, the iPad, tell the brain to stay alert. Because users hold those devices so close to their face, staring directly into the light, the effect is amplified compared with, say, a TV across the room or a bedside lamp, said Frisca Yan-Go, director …

City 2
Duggan (7 mins, 79 mins)
Reading FC Women 1
McGee (12 mins)
- Match reports
- 13 April 2014 16:08
- Posted by @baileymcfc
Given what was happening on Merseyside at virtually the same time, it perhaps wasn't the best of moments for Manchester City Women to announce themselves on the national stage.
But despite major distractions elsewhere - and the insistence of the organisers that they play at the same time - there was no denying the statement of intent adroitly posted by skipper Stephanie Houghton and her team in this 2-1 FA Women's Cup victory.
Two goals from Toni Duggan were enough to settle the nerves and the result, catapulting City into the last eight and providing copious evidence that the first priority of this debut season – to be competitive at all levels – will be comfortably fulfilled.
Reading will no doubt happily testify to the power, pace and precision in the embryonic Blues squad that has been prolific at one end of the pitch - and miserly at the other end - all pre-season.
The visitors were obdurate and well organised but there will be more difficult tests ahead than this for MCWFC, starting at champions Liverpool in Widnes this Thursday.
However, none of the WSL teams will head into this most anticipated of seasons with more momentum and confidence than City.
Any manager will tell anyone willing to listen that the pair of commodities listed in the previous paragraph are two of the most vital of ingredients in success. They are currently fairly oozing from a City squad only brought together three short months ago.
Of course it helps when you arguably have England's best striker in Duggan spearheading the attack and feeding off the elegant touches of Jill Scott and the energy and determination of Betsy Hassett, Krystle Johnston and Isobel Christiansen.
It was Johnston that provided the eighth minute pass - that these old eyes mistook for a mishit shot - which was superbly anticipated by the predatory Duggan who steered home at the far post.
However, a busy and combative Reading team had not come to help celebrate the birth of a new force in the women's game.
They were the Southern Division Champions last season, collecting the silverware and a place in the history books by an eight point margin over Millwall Lionesses and earning a place in Women's Super League Two - a division below the Blues. In other words; they can play.
Livewire Fran Kirby topped the Royals' scoring charts last season with a hugely impressive 31 goals, twice as many as any of her teammates, and she showed why she is so valuable to Reading five minutes after Duggan's strike.
She split the defence with pace and know-how and then slipped the ball to Lauren Bruton who did the rest for the equaliser.
City were always the more composed and better footballing side but they needed patience too with chances at a premium.
The Blues are liberally sprinkled with England stardust but this is no three or four woman team. Rather it is a side reliant on all its components, new and old players, experienced stars names and rookies, those imported and those who've been wearing the Sky Blue for some time.
No-one exemplifies the latter category better than the aforementioned Johnston and Andrea Worrall (Sunday name for a Sunday match!) - the City loving goalkeeper who also bridges the old and new in the Club and is competing with Three Lionesses number one Karen Bardsley for the starting slot.
In Bardsley's absence through injury, she was called into serious action twice in a physical first half; first plunging to her right to dig out Bruton's low drive and later rising high to flick Kirby's cross shot over the bar. She repeated that save in the second half from a free kick.
Reading fought hard all afternoon, chasing and hassling and were only finally undone by a 79th minute mistake from keeper Davies who spilled a speculative long range effort from Christiansen and then watched in agony as Duggan smelled blood and despatched the loose ball.
And so history was made!

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Motian, Paul (Stephen Paul)
Paul Motian is an American jazz drummer who splits his time evenly and effectively between the postwar styles of bebop, post-bop, cool jazz and free jazz. Whether transfiguring the piano trio with Bill Evans, performing in Keith Jarrett's "American Quartet," or leading his own groups, Motian's combination of traditional swing roots and clever unpredictability have made him one of the most consistently active and prolific drummers in modern jazz.
Stephen Paul Motian (his pronunciation: MO-shun) was born to Armenian parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 25, 1931. At the age of two, his family relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, where he lived until he entered the Navy in 1950.
His earliest musical imprints include the distinctive combination of Arabic and Turkish music played in his home, as well as widespread popularity of the New Orleans revival and early swing bands he heard on the radio.
His first interest in an instrument was in the guitar, as he liked the cowboys in the movies who often slung guitars as well as guns, he soon discovered the drums and began his life-long commitment to jazz.
Motian began studying drums both in school and in private lessons in Providence, and he starting gigging while still in high school. With the Korean War in full effect in 1950, Motian decided to enter the Navy, and enrolled in the Navy School of Music. Uninspired, he subsequently sailed around the world for over two years with the Seventh Fleet.
Upon his discharge, Motian moved to New York City to start a career as a freelance drummer. Before long, he knew where all of the best late-night jam sessions were, and when Art Taylor failed to show up to play with Thelonious Monk one night, Motian sat in.
In 1955, Paul Motian met post-bop pianist Bill Evans, and Motian began what became a decade-long tenure with the pianist. With bassists Chuck Israels, Gary Peacock, and Scott LaFaro, the Evans recordings of the late 1950s and early 1960s revolutionized the art of the piano trio.
LaFaro and Motian interacted more loosely and freely than most bassists and drummers in piano trio formats, leading to an open, breathing sound and three-way collective improvisation that set the standard for the modern piano trio.
Notable recordings from Motian's work with Evans include Portrait in Jazz and Explorations, which includes"Elsa",and this live version of "Waltz for Debby."
Throughout the 1960s, Motian was extremely busy as a freelancer, and recorded with Lennie Tristano, Stan Getz, Lee Konitz, Zoot Sims, Martial Solal, and Eddie Costa, among others.
In the late 1960s, Motian moved from Evans's trio to join the group led by pianist Keith Jarrett. Dubbed the "American Quartet," Jarrett, Motian, bassist Charlie Haden and tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman released some of Jarrett's most well-regarded material, including Birth, Life Between the Exit Signs, Expectations, and Death and the Flower.
In 1975, Motian recorded the album Mysteries, which includes "Mysteries" and "Everything That Lives Laments.".
In 1972, Motian began his career as a bandleader and composer with the ECM recording Conception Vessel. His relationship with ECM lasted for twelve years, and yielded some of Motian's most revered solo material, from Psalm and The Story of Maryam to 1984's It Should've Happened a Long Time Ago.
It Should've Happened a Long Time Ago was the first record to feature tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano and guitarist Bill Frisell. This exploratory bassless trio has released many records, and continues to perform regularly at New York City's Village Vanguard, as it did on this performance of "Yallah."
Since leaving Jarrett in 1978, Motian has balanced his time as a composer, sideman, and bandleader, recording for ECM, Soul Note, JMT, and most recently, Winter and Winter records.
In recent years, Motian has recorded with Paul Bley, Charlie Haden, Carla Bley, Mose Allison, and Enrico Pieranunzi, and continues to gig with Lovano and Frisell as a trio. He is also active in another band of his own creation, The Electric Bebop Band. A cradle for young New York City-based tenor saxophone and guitar talent, this group has included Chris Potter, Joshua Redman, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. The Electric Bebop Band plays energetic, electrified versions of bop standards.
Motian has also released records to honor some of his great musical counterparts and influences. In 1990, Motian released Bill Evans: Tribute to the Great Post-Bop Pianist, and Play Monk and Powell appeared in 1999, and over the past decade and a half, he has released four volumes of a series called On Broadway, performing tunes by his favorite theatrical songwriters with Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, and Charlie Haden. Volume One of this series includes the tune "Liza."
Motian is still active on the bandstand in New York City, having completed a run at the Blue Note with Bill Frisell and Ron Carter in December of 2007, and playing on no less than five albums released that year. To get a sense of Motian's current style, check out "Mumbo Jumbo"on the 2006 ECM release, Garden of Eden.
Ultimately, it is Motian's unique combination of musical achievements that warrants his reputation as a jazz master. From his sensitive and artful playing with Evans to his often intense playing with Jarrett and Haden, and his multilayered, freer original work with Frisell and Lovano, few drummers have ever attempted, much less achieved, to switch gears as consistently and creatively as Motian has.
Creating a timeline of Motian's musical career gives a jazz fan a sense of the development of the music since 1950 – combinations of traditional trios, electric quintets, cool influences, bop influences, and free influences, all executed with a solid connection to the history of jazz.
A Note on Motian's Drumming Style:
The startlingly unique nature of Motian's drumming has provided him with a constant "in-demand" status for over fifty years. His brush technique is impeccable, as evidenced on many of the trio recordings with Bill Evans. When he picks up sticks, musicians and audiences alike are never quite sure what to expect. His often sounds like a minimalist, leaving out essential portions of the swing groove in order to poke back at his fellow musicians in musical conversation.
Conversely, Motian sometimes plays raucous, exhilarating solos that are rhythmically clever enough to often draw laughter from his fellow musicians on the bandstand. Whether playing minimally or aggressively, his constant motivation is to provide a melodic statement from the drums, whether accompanying a soloist or soloing himself.

Len Pasquarelli leaves ESPN for CBSSports.com/the SportsXchange
Pro Football Talk | Aug. 16, 2010 7:55 a.m.
"After nearly nine years with ESPN.com, veteran NFL scribe Len Pasquarelli has left the four-letter network," Mike Florio writes, adding, "Though Pasquarelli's work still appears on the ESPN.com NFL page, his last item was posted on August 6. His name appears on two articles published Sunday at CBSSports.com/the SportsXchange, and an industry source has confirmed that Len has indeed moved on, and moved out from Bristol. Pasquarelli arrived from CBSSportsline.com in 2001, and for years he was one of ESPN.com's primary online voices. In recent years, however, the proliferation of the network's blog presence and the arrival of Adam Schefter have pushed Pasquarelli into the margins."

Hemangiopericytoma in Dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
My 12-year-old doberman has been diagnosed with both hemangiopericytoma and mast cell cancer. I find very little information on hemangiopericytoma. This tumor was incompletely removed from a hind leg. What is usual recommended treatment? Would 5-FU be beneficial in this type of cancer?
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
Dear D.,
Hemangiopericytomas fall into the category of "soft tissue sarcomas" or tumors that arise from the various connective tissues of the body. In general, these tumors can be very invasive locally, but are unlikely to metastasize (spread elsewhere in the body).
The treatment of choice is complete surgical removal. In locations where this is not possible (such as the head area and the limbs) surgery combined with radiation therapy is the treatment of choice. Systemic chemotherapy plays little role in the treatment of most of these tumors. However, "intralesional" chemotherapy (injecting chemotherapy drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil or cisplatin, directly into the tumor) has been advocated by some oncologists in cases where other definitive treatments are not an option (for example due to financial or travel constraints). While some individuals have reported good results, these results have not been published in the veterinary literature. So, while intralesional chemotherapy must be considered "experimental" at this time, it is a reasonable option to try if conventional therapy is not possible.
Each of the mentioned treatments has certain manageable risks, which must be weighed against potential benefits and your dog's overall health. These should be discussed with your veterinarian or veterinary oncologist, along with any other questions or concerns you may have.
If you or your veterinarian have not already done so, please consult a qualified veterinary oncologist to further explore the treatment options for your pet.

problem with sound card...
it says it wont detect the sound card...the game works but no sound! any suggestions?
n/m about the sound card. I finally fixed it. but one more problem...I'm using DOSbox and everytihng is going REALLY slow. I closed some of the programs off to make it run faster and that didn't work.
Scumm VM is your friend.
i did use that. I'm using SCUMMVM Q+E and nothing will show up. I copied the resource folder and paste it into my throttle hardrive folder and still nothing will happen. It works with the curse of monkey island though.
Have you tried running it off of the CD? With scummVM q+e I mean.
yep...still nothing.
Why are you using ScummVM Q&E ...
Instead of the REAL ScummVM?
ScummVM q+e is the real scummVM, just with a nice front end. Although if you're running Q+E without downloading hte original ScummVM to go along with it that that could be your problem.
How did you fix the sound?
Scumm VM isn't finding the game for me either...I'm not using Q+E either.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
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.
I'm back. It's been a long stretch since my maiden blogging voyage in December. An injury sidelined me but gave me lots of time to read (though I had to type with one hand for awhile). So here goes, again, and hopefully I'll share on a more regular basis from now on, especially considering the number of books I've written up during my enforced leisure
Three Weeks In December by Audrey Schulman
What a tour de force! Schulman traces two stories, separated by a century and set in Africa, which reveal haunting parallels. Both protagonists are outsiders. Jeremy is an engineer, fleeing from small-town New England because he finds human contact, especially with women, fraught. Max is an ethno-botanist who comes to Rwanda in search of a vine with healing properties. Her Asperger's gives her amazing focus in the field and uncanny connection with the gorillas of the region. Bothcharacters suffer physically and face terrifying enemies: for Jeremy, man-eating lions; for Max, crazed child soldiers. It doesn't end well for either, but their journeys bring them some fulfillment and heroism along the way. Very intense and atmospheric.
Here are some other books to consider:
You Know When The Men Are Gone by Siobhan Fallon
Short stories centered around a world I have little access to: Fort Hood, Texas where soldiers come and go to Iraq and their wives and girlfriends wait and cope and adjust--or don't. On the surface, discipline and conformity rule daily life on the base, but inter-familial tensions intensify as worry builds and communication falters. An army wife herself, Fallon reflects a wide range of emotions and experiences, from pride and loyalty to alienation and desperation. This book goes a long way to dispel stereotypes about military life that I, with an anti-war bias, have held for years.
Winter's Child by Margaret Maron
A Deborah Knott Mystery set in North Carolina. Deborah's a judge, finally hitched to Dwight, a cop, who made an unfortunate marriage to a Southern Belle before he copped to the power of Deborah, his first love. His ex, Jonna, has mysteriously disappeared and then his 8 year old son, Cal, goes missing too. Action centers around a historic house with a resident ghost and secret passages.

Don't be jealous--but there are animals with way more online fans than you.

Mo'Nique defies media criticism to find Oscar in her sights
When this pundit attended the world premiere of "Precious," then known as "Push," at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, the entire audience knew the actress and comedienne known as Mo'Nique had delivered a career-defining performance. To be blunt, it was jaw-droppingly unexpected.
As perhaps one of the most hateful mothers in modern screen history, Mo'Nique accomplished almost the impossible in making the audience teeter on the verge of sympathy for a character you'd grown to hate. It was a role that everyone in that theater knew would be an Oscar player. However, as the days and months progressed, it was clear there was very little competition that could match the intensity of Mo'Nique's work. But then the media reared its ugly head.
Looking for a story, perhaps wanting to discredit the unconventional contender or for reasons that still aren't clear to this day, a number of journalists began harping on the fact that unlike the rest of her co-stars, Mo'Nique had not attended the film's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival or the New York Film Festival ("how dare she not hit the campaign trail"). Rumors, that were never verified mind you, spread that Mo'Nique had insisted she be paid for those appearing at those red carpet events and to promote the film in general. What was completely missing from their reports, of course, was that Mo'Nique was busy in Atlanta getting her new weekly BET talk show ready to launch and then actually shooting the show on a nightly basis. She did appear at a "Precious'" screening at the Oscar-friendly AFI Fest at the beginning of November, but her demeanor displayed how disappointed she must have been to feel she "had" to be there.
It's hard for the media to believe, but contenders are not required to campaign. And a majority of Academy members don't see it as a necessity either (thank god). In fact, this year, George Clooney hardly did any specific Academy campaigning for "Up in the Air" (although he did some immediately before the nomination deadline for "Michael Clayton") nor Meryl Streep for "Julie & Julia," but you hardly heard a cry of criticism from the media regarding those icons. And in what could only be described as a "in your face" result, Mo'Nique has only gone on to win every major Best Supporting Actress Award this year: the Golden Globes, the Critic's Choice Awards, the SAG Awards and even the Orange British Academy Awards among others. It's an excellent reminder that even in a business where publicists strategize on a daily basis on how to win an Oscar, sometimes it's just about the work. Imagine that.
The nominees:
Penelope Cruz, "Nine"
Vera Farmiga, "Up in the Air"
Maggie Gyllenhaal, "Crazy Heart"
Anna Kendrick, "Up in the Air"
Mo'Nique, "Precious: Based on 'Push' a novel by Sapphire"
Who Will Win: Mo'Nique for "Precious"
Who Should Win: Mo'Nique for "Precious"
Upset Contender: Potentially, "Up in the Air's" Kendrick could pull the young ingenue card and upset, but that would be a truly shocking event. Especially with the expected split vote with her "Air" co-star Farmiga.
Look for more stone cold lock Academy Award predictions over the next week. [Please note the updated rundown below.]

Mass layoffs by industry sector, November 2003
December 30, 2003
In November 2003, employers initiated 1,438 mass layoff actions, as measured by new filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment and the number of workers involved totaled 138,543.
The manufacturing sector recorded 35 percent of all mass-layoff initial claims filed in November. Within manufacturing, the number of claimants was highest in transportation equipment and food processing.
Construction accounted for 15 percent of initial claims filed in November, with layoffs mostly in highway, street, and bridge construction. Administrative and waste services accounted for 10 percent of initial claims due to mass layoffs during the month, mainly in temporary help services.
The agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sector accounted for 7 percent of the initial claims, largely among farm labor contractors and crew leaders. An additional 5 percent of all initial claims filed during November were from accommodation and food services, primarily among food service contractors.
Overall, the number of layoff events and initial claims were sharply lower than a year ago, with the number of initial claims at the lowest level for November since 1997. (November 2003 contained 4 weeks for possible mass layoffs, compared with 5 weeks in each November of the prior 2 years.)
These data come from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. To learn more, see "Mass Layoffs in November 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-917. Data for two industry sectors (management of companies and enterprises, and educational services) do not appear because they do not meet disclosure standards. Industry sectors are defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

The 2011 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, AKC National Obedience Invitational and AKC Agility Invitational featured nearly 5,000 dogs, hundreds of vendors, and tons of fun for the whole family in Orlando, Florida 17th and 18th December 2011.
This invitation-only event showcases some of the best dogs in the world and through a series of interviews Examiner readers will have an opportunity to "meet" some of the competitors.
Examiner:How did you get started in dogs?
Sherry Geurts: I have always been an animal lover and loved the dogs I had has a kid and taught them all kinds of fun tricks. When I was raising my sons, the youngest always wanted a dog so we got him a cocker spaniel. I would watch dog shows on TV and think about how neat it would be to do that someday.
Examiner:How did you decide on the breed that you currently have?
Sherry Geurts: When I started dating my husband in 2000, he wanted a chocolate Lab. I was never fond of labs, but honestly had not spent much time with them. I looked for a couple of years and found a "cheap" puppy from a family that bred their dogs; just to breed them. She was AKC registered but not a very good specimen of the breed. She does not have a good temperament and of course has hip dysplasia. I then started visiting on an online lab forum and found a "show potential" puppy from someone that also was on the forum. I bought her but never did show her. I did not have the confidence to go into the ring. I had her clearances done and bred her even though I had not competed with her in any venue. She blessed me with three awesome litters. Spending time with a well-bred Labrador is enough to make anyone fall in love with the breed.
Examiner: What's the one thing you know now that you wish you knew when you were starting in dogs?
Sherry Geurts: To be more aware of health issues, and to network and not be in a hurry to get that adorable puppy.
Examiner:What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
Sherry Geurts: To do what you know is the right thing to do, be honest, loyal and not do anything to harm your respective breed in any way.
Examiner: What is your biggest regret?
Sherry Geurts: Breeding without competing in some sort of venue with my foundation bitch. Also burning out my first bred by girl by taking her to too many handling classes and being too nervous while showing. It truly goes down the lead to the dog!
Examiner: What is your biggest accomplishment?
Sherry Geurts: Finishing my girl Natalie's (GRCH CH Hayshaker Cole In Yer Stockin TDI CGC) Grand Championship myself. I put a handler on her a few times when getting her championship but I decided to try to finish her Grand Championship myself and I did.
Examiner: What does going to the AKC Eukanuba National Championship mean to you?
Sherry Geurts: Having a dog I bred be invited to Eukanuba was a wonderful feeling knowing I made good breeding decisions and believed in my dog and myself when in the ring on my journey to Eukanuba.
Examiner: What makes the AKC Eukanuba National Championship different than any other dog shows for you and your dogs?
Sherry Geurts: I was very proud to showcase my bred-by girl. Several international Labrador breeders came up to me and visited about Natalie at ringside, and took pictures of her as well. Competing against some of the best dogs in the breed was a great honor and it also gave me the chance to see dogs in the flesh that I had only read about or saw pictures of.
Examiner: If you could leave a note on the kitchen table for future generations what would it say?
Sherry Geurts: Have fun and make sure your dog is having fun in the ring! Gain trust of your fellow breeders and follow your dreams. Listen to your gut feelings when making decisions and do not let anyone persuade you to do something you are not comfortable doing within your program. Take the downfalls as learning tools, be strong, be proud and treat folks how you want to be treated. Do not get caught up in the rumor mill. If you want to know something about a dog, call the breeder/owner and get the facts straight from them. Expand your horizons and listen intently.

The upcoming Regata Copa México, Olimpic Edition, to take place in Banderas Bay on March 7 - 10, will feature a windsurfing competition, among its different disciplines, providing spectators with an excellent opportunity to watch participants up-close as they aim for first place in several categories.
Windsurfing combines the best of two passions: sailing, and the thrill of riding over the waves on a board. Its history goes back to the early 30's, when the great pioneer of surfing, Tom Blake, got tired of paddling with his arms in search of good waves and thought it would be a good idea to be propelled by the wind. After experimenting a bit, he inserted a very basic rig to his table and named his creation sailing surfboard.
There will be four categories for the windsurfing competitions, which will join the Nautical Extravaganza in Riviera Nayarit: Olímpica Juvenil, Olímpica RSX, Fórmula Experience and Abierta. To determine the top three places in each category, there will be ten races with two elimination matches (one for every five races).
Because the races take place in open waters, the action will be viewable from the coastline around Marina Riviera Nayarit, during all competition days.
Learn more about this and other related events at the Regata Copa México, Olimpic Edition website, www.regatacopamexico.com

Cigarettes, Soyuz-Apollo
In July 1975, two manned spacecraft were launched into Earth orbit--one from Kazakhstan, the other from Florida. Their rendezvous in orbit fulfilled a 1972 agreement between the Soviet Union and the United States to participate in a joint venture in space. The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project marked a brief thaw in the Cold War and the first time that the two rivals cooperated in a human space mission. During the mission, the five crew members visited each other's spacecraft, shared meals, and worked on various tasks during several days together in space. As part of this effort of détente, the United States and Soviet Union also participated in joint missions here on Earth to commemorate the historic mission.
This is a package of Apollo-Soyuz cigarettes that was manufactured as part of a joint venture between the American cigarette manufacturer Phillip Morris and the Soviet Yava cigarette factory. At the time of the Apollo-Soyuz agreement diplomats thought that joint manufacturing ventures that grew of the mission could sustain détente beyond the 1975 spaceflight.

Saira Blair could become the youngest member of the House of Delegates in West Virginia history. At the ripe old age of 17, she has just won the GOP primary in her state right before her upcoming graduation from high school.
Her father, Craig Blair is a current state senator and obviously has had an influence on his daughter's political aspirations. It is reported that she has been politically active and attended GOP meetings since the 6th grade.
What an awesome win for Saira who took on sitting Delegate Larry Kump and beat him by approximately 150 votes. She will now go on to the general election in November.
This young conservative lady should be an inspiration to all of us. With hard work and determination, anything is still possible. This is definitely a story worthy of follow-up in November. Will Saira Blair make history in her home state of West Virginia?
To congratulate Saira and follow her campaign as she goes forward into the general election season, her campaign facebook can be found here.

A sad update makes it all the more likely that Nikki Burgess is deceased. Bedding, stained with blood, as well as brass knuckles, empty bleach bottles, and carpet from the master bedroom, also stained with blood, were removed from her Hermitage, TN home. In addition to this, human decomposition has been detected, both inside her residence and in the trunk of a car registered to the father of her child.
Caleb Cannon, with whom Nikki shares a 10-year-old son, is a known person of interest in her abduction, and most likely, death. The last correspondence from her came in the form of a text message on May 23, sent to her friend Stevie Blainey, saying that she was with Cannon and the two had been arguing.
On May 25, the man in the neighboring duplex, Jamie McCavanaugh, saw two people, carrying what appeared to be furniture, out the back door of Nikki's home. He has seen Cannon before and is confident that one of the men he saw was him. Additionally, a friend of the Burgess and Cannon's son says he saw Cannon carrying two black nylon bags from the residence, and was denied access to the house. It is not known if this is the same friend in which the boy confided that he believed his father had killed his mom.
A search warrant executed at Cannon's home led to the seizure of several weapons, including and axe, several guns, and various types of cords and ropes, leading to the belief that Nikki had been strangled. It will likely be just a matter of time before charges are filed against Caleb Cannon. Evidence seems to be stacking up against him pretty quickly. However, the recovery of Nikki's remains will likely hold the biggest clues as to what happened to her. Hopefully, she is found, if only to give her family the closure they deserve.
From all accounts, Nikki Burgess was a wonderful person, a great friend, and someone that enjoyed life. She did not deserve to meet this kind of fate. If you know something about this case, the right thing to do is to report it.

I once read an article about the importance of being an anti-bigot! Not just remaining silent or inactive, but letting intolerant people know that their attitude or behavior was not acceptable.ReplyDelete
It takes courage to fight the good fight as you are doing, Jeff!
I have a wish that this innocent child grows up to be an anti-bigot, as children often can see the examples that are set for them by their parents as negative as well as positive.

I have to go with Final Fantasy 7 as my favorite game of all-time.
I think it had some of the best music in the series, but it was the first game that I thought had such a storyline that got me into it. I genuinely wanted to see what happened to all the characters in the game and find out more about their storied pasts.
Not to mention, I just found Sephiroth to be QUITE the badass too...and I loves me a badass bad guy in a book/movie/game.
I loved the battle system, I loved being able to customize characters with the materia system...to this day I still love replaying it every now and then (which finding the time for is becoming less and less frequent).
No trees were harmed to bring you this message. Some electrons, however, were terribly inconvenienced.

For the PC, I would say the original Age of Empires. I spent hours playing that game. I once built a base accross an entire map consuming all resources.
For consoles, Chuck Rock, for the SNES. It was easy. It had no story. But I laughed my way through it.

For many people, sebum is a bit of a dirty word. But it shouldn't be like that. Sebum is simply the skin's natural moisturizer. It's only when your skin produces too little or too much of it that problems arise. In the first case, skin becomes dry; in the second shiny and prone to breakouts. But in the right amount, it's very beneficial to the skin. Here's why:
What is sebum, exactly?
Sebum is a mixture of fatty acids, wax esters, glycerides, cholesterol and squalene (this is why these ingredients are often found in skincare products) that's produced by sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are present all over the body (except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet), but are more numerous in the forehead, chin and middle portion of the back, which is why these areas are more prone to acne. Sebum production is regulated by hormones and decreases with age. That's why acne is most common in teenagers, while many older women suffer from dry skin.
What is sebum good for skin?
Sebum mixes with sweat, forming a protective layer called the acid mantle. The acid mantle prevents moisture loss, thus keeping skin soft and moisturized. In addition, this layer also protects skin from external agents, such as the wind or pollutants, that may harm it, and inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi, thus preventing infections. See how useful it is?
When sebum doesn't work well
Sebum may be good for the skin, but too little or too much of it, isn't. When skin doesn't produce enough, it becomes dry and flaky. Damage to the acid mantle (which can be due, among other things, to harsh cleansing agents and environmental conditions) can also cause dryness, as well as leaving skin prone to infections. When this happens, you need to apply a moisturizer with skin-identical ingredients (such as fatty acids and glycerides) that can repair this protective barrier.
On the other hand, when too much sebum is produced, it will give skin a shiny appearance and clog the pores, which can lead to breakouts. To prevent it, you should keep the pores clean by exfoliating them with Salicylic Acid (this ingredient can penetrate inside the pores and remove all the gunk that has accumulated inside them). You should also consider using retinoids, which can help keep sebum production under control.
I hope this has helped you realise how important sebum really is for our skin. 😉
Did you consider sebum a dirty word too?

NAPA Dodge wins again, torrid pace continues for Capps, Tobler
Ron Capps and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund/NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car team won for the third time in the past four races on Sunday in the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series and extended their championship points lead to 130 after the 12th of 24 events of the season.
NAPA is proud to continue its NHRA Drag Racing sponsorship in the 2016 NHRA season. NAPA will be the primary sponsor of the NAPA Dodge Charger RT Funny Car driven by Ron Capps and owned by the Don Schumacher Racing Team, one of the elite teams of the NHRA.
Owner Don Schumacher founded his top fuel dragster team in 1998 with his son Tony as the driver. The Don Schumacher Racing organization has since captured top honors in this fast-paced sporting arena, earning an unprecedented four consecutive and five overall NHRA Top Fuel Dragster World Championship titles and one NHRA Funny Car, World Championship crown.
Don Schumacher is a champion in business and in racing. An NHRA Champion driver in the 1970s, "The Shoe" developed a three-car team long before NHRA Drag Racing became a staple on national television. He left racing in 1974 and spent the next 25 years building Schumacher Electric Corp. into the world's largest supplier of battery chargers. He now directs more than 1,200 employees worldwide from his headquarters in Mt. Prospect, Illinois. Schumacher's business savvy and tireless work ethic have developed Schumacher Electric into a major force in the consumer electronics industry. Schumacher Electric battery chargers, inverters, portable power units and custom transformers can be found on NAPA Auto Parts store shelves.
NAPA's presence will be seen at all NHRA Full Throttle race events and we look forward to hoisting NHRA's event winner's trophy, "the Wally," with Ron Capps and Don Schumacher Racing!

A homicide investigation is underway after a fatal shooting Thursday morning in front of a Deer Park bar and detectives believe it may have been gang-related, Suffolk County police said.
The Jan. 16 shooting left one man dead another man seriously injured. Investigators said it was 2:22 a.m., when three people in a white Cadillac pulled into the parking lot of the Nite Owl Lounge on Long Island Avenue.
Detectives believe two people in a group in front of the nightclub fired several shots at the car. Photos from the scene showed the vehicle was struck with more than a dozen bullet holes.
The car's driver, Jean Yves, 25, of Wyandanch, was killed in the gunfire. An unidentified passenger was shot in the chest and later underwent surgery at a local hospital. Cops said another passenger in the vehicle was uninjured.
Investigators said the group assembled in front of the nightclub fled after the shooting. Homicide detectives are now looking to identify and question those individuals.
A police spokesperson said detectives are "exploring the possibility that the shooting is gang-related."
Anyone with information is asked to call Homicide Squad detectives at 631-852-6392 or anonymously call Suffolk Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.

On Thursday, June 2nd, MCB hosted the first-ever hooding ceremony for 20* graduating PhD students of some of the UW's biomedical departments and programs including: MCB, Microbiology, Neurosciences, Genome Sciences, Pharmacology, Pathobiology, Biochemistry and the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). *Graduates' names and theses titles are listed in the program linked below.
Most graduate programs have a small cohort of students that graduate throughout the year making it difficult to have a program-specific hooding ceremony for PhD graduates.
Students who had defended over the past year or who planned to defend by August 2016 participated. Participating students and faculty were asked to dress in formal commencement regalia (gowns and hoods) and had their name, degree, thesis lab and title announced as their chosen faculty member (e.g., thesis advisor, committee member, director or chair of their department or program) hooded them.
Dr. David Eaton, Dean of the Graduate School, spoke on the symbolism of the Hooding Ceremony. Also speaking were the MCB Program Co-Directors, Drs. Rich Gardner (UW), Katie Peichel (FH-outgoing) , and Nina Salama (FH-incoming). The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Jennifer Benanti, MCB Alumna and former Cell and Molecular Biology Training Grant (CMB TG) trainee, who is currently an Assistant Professor at UMass Medical School at Worcester.
Graduates and guests (friends, family, lab mates, and classmates) enjoyed light finger foods before and after the ceremony.

After writing three complementary reviews, superlatives about songstress Angel Olsen are running short. Not that they aren't deserving but the constant gushing about how talented Olsen is probably doesn't come across as terribly interesting. Well, sorry, but she's done it again. With already a stunning EP and outstanding full-length to her credit, Olsen manages to outdo herself. With her first release, "Burn Your Fire For No Witness", on new label Jagjaguwar, Olsen serves up her most diverse work to-date.
Familiar, folk territory is where Olsen has made her bones and is still a big part of the record. But it's the translation of her folk sensibilities to a more rock milieu that prove to be even more remarkable. "Forgiven/Forgotten" is elevated garage rock tinged with sweetness. "Stars" packs a pair of powerful crescendos where her band swells and Olsen sings in self-harmony. The first peak at the 1:12 mark is goosebump-inducing.
Not that Olsen has suddenly become a garage punk. The softer side rears its beautiful head all over the album. Tracks like the evocative "White Fire" and "Unf***theworld" carry the acoustic torch. "Lights Out" and "Dance Slow Decades" are empirically entrancing tracks that remind favorably of Marianne Faithfull. Remember the goosebumps from earlier? They recur at the first hint of Olsen's voice on the record's denouement, "Windows". A more gorgeous song simply doesn't exist. The music puts a figurative spotlight on its creator. Her voice comes across gentle and yet powerful, a beam of luminescence that answers the track's pressing question, "What so wrong with the light?". Not a damned thing.
"Burn Your Fire For No Witness" will be released on Feb 18 through Jagjaguwar Records. You can preview four songs on Olsen's performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts.

Glee's third season will premiere on Tuesday September 20, Fox announced today. That still feels like an awfully long wait (then again, what are we waiting on, really?) yet thankfully the show's cast and crew are omnipresent enough—and lack any semblance of a filter—to keep us sweating Glee-related fodder long through July and August. Cory Monteith is the latest to provide a revealing interview, this time opting for revelations from his personal life rather than season three scoop or spoilers. While Matthew Morrison looked for laughs with a video about his ridiculous and highly fictional life before Glee, TV's Finn Hudson takes a serious approach to discussing his past, particularly his struggles with drugs and alcohol as a teenager. "Anything and everything, as much as possible," he tells Parade of his usage. "I had a serious problem." The 29-year-old spoke candidly about the demons that began as child in Victoria, British Columbia. At 13 Monteith was regularly skipping school to drink and smoke pot, eventually dropping out at 16. Monteith cites stealing money from a family member as his turning point, which led to rehab at 19 and ultimately to pursue acting. "I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn't care," he says of the incident. "It was a cry for help. I was confronted and I said, 'Yeah, it was me.' It was the first honorable, truthful thing that had come out of my mouth in years."
Surprising stuff to those who believe Monteith to be a mirror image of his character—the football playing glee club member who can barely slushie kids without feeling bad about it—rather than the show's slightly edgier "bad boy," Puck. Regardless, Monteith is quick to distance himself from his alter ego ("I'm not Finn Hudson") as well as your typical young Hollywood star. Even though he's riding the Glee wave and starring in movies with Selena Gomez, these days he considers himself more of a homebody. "I'll go out, but I leave early, before the shenanigans. I don't really do the Hollywood party thing. I'd rather watch sports or play videogames or work out or sleep, to be totally honest."
Lest critics jump back on the anti-Glee movement as a response to Monteith's revelations, he acknowledges his influence, and discourages Glee's younger fans to want to emulate his mistakes. "I don't want kids to think it's okay to drop out of school and get high, and they'll be famous actors, too," he says. "But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it. If I can, anyone can." A television show, multiple albums, a sold-out tour and a movie in the works? Better get started.
