Country superstar Dierks Bentley will perform on the season finale of NBC's hit show "America's Got Talent" on Wed., Sept. 18 at 9:00 p.m. PT/ET. He will perform his latest single, "I Hold On."
I Hold On" is the lead single off Bentley's upcoming seventh studio album "Riser." MusicRow recently chose the track as "a song that shakes you" while USA Today likens it to Cash's "I Walk The Line," "'I Hold On' echoes the closely held faith and steely determination of the Johnny Cash classic."
Tonight, Bentley will perform and help induct Old Crow Medicine Show into the Grand Ole Opry before his visit to New York City for the America's Got Talent taping. From New York, Bentley will head to Atlanta for the Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley: Locked & Reloaded Tour on Thursday night with additional dates scheduled this weekend in Tampa, FL (9/20) and West Palm Beach, FL (9/21).

Humble beginnings- I was smashing up pallets the night before the rally to make sign handles.
The hungover reason for our late start.
Hitting traffic on I-95 heading toward DC.
After we gave up on trying to take the jam-packed metro into the city, I volunteered to crouch in the hatchback of the minivan taxi so our group of 6 could get to the rally.
Shoosk & Justin unload the signs from the minivan taxi. I rode in the hatchback.
I knew we were finally at the party when I saw the Washington Monument.
I started to realize there were alot of people here.
We started seeing crazy characters like Leah & Darth Palin. Also, Shooski is Here!
Justin getting our signs for the rally as Rev & Shoosk look on.

Late night on the patio.
We were big fans of this Lady Gaga & her Gaga friends.

Oprah Winfrey is in talks to make her Broadway acting debut, according to a Feb. 6 New York Times report. The talk show host and actress plans to showcase her talent on Broadway in a revival of Marsha Norman's 1983 Pulitzer Prize-winning play "night, Mother," starring Tony-Award winner Audra McDonald. If the deal is sealed, Winfrey will play a mother struggling to prevent her daughter from committing suicide, sources tell the New York Times.
According to People Magazine, Winfrey does have some experience with Broadway, but only behind-the-scenes as an investor in the 2005 musical, The Color Purple." Her soon-to-be co-star, McDonald, however is a seasoned Broadway star with five Tony wins.
"Oprah has had a longstanding desire to act on Broadway," Sanders said. "She understands how unique and challenging performing live on stage will be as an actress. She and I have been looking at a number of plays and roles in order to find material and a character that truly resonate with her. We've recently read something that we're both excited about but are not yet ready to officially announce the specifics."

Genre: Comedy, SciFi/Fantasy
Rating: PG
Duration: 1hr 42min
For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA Protector donned their uniforms and set out on thrilling and often dangerous missions in space - then their series was cancelled. Twenty years later, the five stars of the classic '70s series "Galaxy Quest" are still in costume, making appearances at sci-fi conventions for legions of die-hard fans - but some of those fans are a little more far out than the actors could have ever imagined. A group of aliens who have mistaken intercepted television transmissions for "historical documents" arrive at a convention and whisk "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" and his crew into space to help them in their all-too-real war against a deadly adversary. With no script, no director and no clue about real space travel, the actors have to turn in the performances of their lives to become the heroes the aliens believe them to be.

Mercury's Scarps
A common tectonic feature found on Mercury is a scarp, or steep cliff, such as the one extending across the length of this image. Though common on Mercury, long, globally distributed scarps like this are not common on the other planets in the solar system. It is believed that the scarps formed due to Mercury's thermal history. This image was acquired by the MESSENGER spacecraft as a high-resolution targeted observation on December 31, 2011.

An econometric model of P.E.I. agricultural sector ...
|An econometric model of P.E.I. agricultural sector with major emphasis on potato sector
|Palanisamy Nagarajan, V. Upahyay

|Working Paper, Marketing and Economics Branch, Agriculture Canada
|Start page
|Potatoes contribute one-third of total farm cash receipts in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and account for 20-25% of total Canadian potato production, and over 50% of total Canadian potato exports. Fluctuations in prices, production and exports have considerable affect on the Province's economy. A model of the PEI agricultural sector is developed, with major emphasis on the potato sector. The model is used to analyze the effects of changes in the exogenous variables such as potato production levels in the USA (a competitive exporter as well as an important buyer of PEI potatoes), and Netherlands (a major international exporter of potatoes), exchange rate, Canadian and PEI personal disposable incomes, interest rate, wage rate, and farm capital stock on the agricultural economy. Section 2 gives a brief background of the potato sector. Section 3 contains the model specification, and Section 4 the estimation of the model. The results of estimation of impact analysis are discussed in Section 5. Section 6 presents some simulation results. Finally, Section 7 presents a brief summary.

Joe Henderson: Mode for Joe
Mode for Joe
Joe Henderson (tenor sax)
Mode for Joe (Blue Note 5918942)
Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Curtis Fuller (trombone), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Cedar Walton (piano), Ron Carter (bass), Joe Chambers (drums).
Composed by Cedar Walton.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, January 27, 1966
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
At a time when far too many Coltrane clones roamed the Earth, Joe Henderson shined as a personal, distinctive stylist with a brawny, instantly recognizable tone. Walton's delicate and gently swinging "Mode for Joe" brings out the softer, lyrical side of these Blue Note heavyweights. Henderson contributes one of his more subdued solos on record. Though less aggressive than normal, his solo is still harmonically adventurous and surprising. His melodicism is juxtaposed by sudden bursts of frantic clusters of notes. Hutcherson is in top form—once again proving he is the most expressive of all vibraphonists. A great addition to any collection.

A loophole in Ohio and federal laws has allowed the creation of synthetic, marijuana-like drugs that have made their way into Medina County, according to authorities.
David Smith, director of the local drug task force Medway, said the drugs, commonly sold under the names K2 or spice, are genetically engineered to be more potent than marijuana with similar effects on whoever ingests them.
Because the drugs' precise chemical compositions are not included in the federal government's database of controlled substances, law enforcement is powerless to control their spread through communities, authorities said.
According to federal records, the drugs pose an "imminent hazard to the public safety" and can induce hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, vomiting, accelerated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, seizures and non-responsiveness.
Legislation to ban the drugs in Ohio stalled at the end of last year as the previous assembly left and before the new House and Senate began their work.
State Rep. Dave Hall, R-Killbuck, said the bill to ban the drugs will be on the House's agenda in the near future.
"We've been hearing back in the districts some of the issues of the synthetic drug," Hall said. "It's a loophole, and it needs to be fixed."
Legislation banning the drugs has passed or is pending in at least 25 states.
Brunswick Police Chief Carl DeForest said his department has encountered the drugs at least twice in recent months.
"There's precious little information to go on as to the intoxicating value of this type of material and what the impact is when someone ingests it," DeForest said. "If someone overdoses on it, what can you do to help them?"
On Jan. 9, a woman called police to report she had found marijuana in her 16-year-old son's room. Police discovered the stash was the K2 drug and not marijuana.
Another man was found to be carrying the drug in October.
Neither was charged because, for now, the drug is not illegal, DeForest said. Any pipes or other paraphernalia found were legal as well, he said, because they were not being used for illegal activities.
Smith said the drugs, which are available at certain stores and on the Internet, are made from a plant that has been genetically engineered. Chemicals are sprayed on the plant, he said, which become the active ingredient in the drugs.
"The Feds have identified five types of this chemical," Smith said.
All five chemicals would be included in any legislation banning the substance, he said.
When distributed, the plant is cut up and packaged, Smith said, and when consumed, the clippings are rolled up and smoked or ingested through the mouth or in food.
"They could put it with brownies just like they do marijuana," Smith said.
He said it is also more expensive than marijuana, costing up to $75 for a plastic bag about the diameter of a quarter.
Medina police Lt. Bob Starcher said his department has not yet dealt with the drug, but is aware of it and officers have had briefings on its effects.
"We are concerned with anything that impairs you physically," Starcher said.
Smith and Gary Hubbard, director of the Medina County Drug Task Force, said they also have not encountered the drug in the county, but have heard of its use across the state.
Smith said the aim is to prosecute K2 on the same level as marijuana. Possessing it would be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the amount involved, and selling it would be a felony, he said.
DeForest said the creation of drugs like K2 represent a trend in the drug industry.
"I think people oftentimes try to stay one step ahead of the law, especially when they're designing synthetic drugs," he said.

North Augusta, SC- The biggest story in Augusta so far has to be the commitments that Wake Forest received from the Georgia Stars duo of Al-Farouq Aminu (pictured) and Tony Woods.
Tony Woods had a breakout performance at the Lebron James Skills Academy, where he was one of the top big men at the camp, and Aminu is widely considered a top-10 rising senior nationally. They combined for 21 points in a win over the SYF Players today.
The Deacons now have three All-American caliber frontcourt players in their 2008 recruiting class with the addition of Aminu and Woods. Wake Forest already has a commitment from Ty Walker, who is one of the nations best 7-footers.
Team Texas Earns Lone Star State Bragging Rights
Team Texas overcame a double-digit second half deficit to beat Houston Hoops 69-62 in a pool game earlier today. The winners were led by Willie Warrens 25 points, but it was the late game heroics of Rotnei Clarke that propelled Team Texas to victory. Clarke hit two crucial 3-pointers and scored on a floater to help his teams comeback.
Elijah Johnson had a big first half for Houston Hoops scoring 13 points but he was shut-out after the break. Jeremy Green and Tommy Mason-Griffin combined for 31 points.
*Although we didn't arrive until today, we recieved word that Willie Warren lit up Mean Streets for 45 points in a game yesterday.
16U Noteworthy Performances
69 big man DeMarcus Cousins of the Birmingham Storm is the highest rated prospect in the 16U division. His team lost an afternoon game to Tennessee YOMCA, but Cousins had a monster game, scoring 32 points.
66 wing Tevin Baskin of the New York Gauchos caught our attention with his athleticism, ability to put the ball on the floor, and activeness around the rim. He will likely be recruited at the highest level.
We first noticed 58 DeShaun Cooper two years ago when he made our list of the best 20 players at the 13U AAU Nationals. He is now a young (for his class) rising junior playing for the St. Louis Eagles and he had a fine performance today when he scored 12 points to lead his team past a tough Peach Jam Select squad.
Some players to keep an eye on that play for Peach Jam Select include 60 Brandon Curry, 66 Heath Houston, 66 Bryan Narcisse, and 67 Kadeem Batts
Boo Williams knocked off California Supreme behind 22 points from 65 Marshawn Powell. 63 Donte Hill and 69 DeShawn Painter combined for 27 points for the winners. California Supreme was led by 69 phenom Jeremy Tylers 15 points.

For example: 201108040001, 201108040002, 201108040003, 201108050001, 201108050002, 201108050003. Second attribute is Address, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqha-F3KYHk&feature=youtube_gdata_player, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAIgWGCYGJU&feature=youtube_gdata_player, etc. Third attribute is Date. Forth attrubute is TotalViewCount. Fifth attribute is SearchTerm.
Now I wonder if this database model is good for getting statistical data. For example, I want to get videos that have more than 1000 view per day. To do this I have to subtract TotalViewCounts from 2 dates, and so for every row in a table.
Here is table DDL:
VideoID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
Address VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL,
Date DATE NOT NULL,
TotalViewCount INT NOT NULL,
SearchTerm VARCHAR( 100 ) NOT NULL

On November 10, GameServers.com increased sv_maxrate to 25000 across all servers to reduce lag. That was followed by a larger update yesterday that improves performance for dual and quad-core processors as well as connectivity with the Black Ops Rcon tool, and adds a "Friends fix for join in progress and Friends tab in server browser."
Treyarch is also looking into "GPU hitching" on certain graphics cards, incomplete server browser results, improvements to Quickmatch joins (results with better ping and reduced lag), and a Zombies mode error that claims the game session is no longer available. Assuming you're running Black Ops through Steam, updates should be applied automatically.
We'll be sure to test the CPU-related patch in our upcoming performance review.

By Connie Wilbert
My husband and I both grew up in Wyoming, and we both were fortunate enough
to come from outdoorsy families, so we each learned to enjoy the wilds of
Wyoming from an early age.
When our children were born, we kept right on doing most of our outdoor
activities, including camping, hiking, cross country skiing, hunting and
fishing, with the kids in tow. Our son accompanied us antelope hunting when
he was six weeks old, and came to his first elk hunting camp at three
months. When our daughter arrived three years later, we had our second baby
in camp.
Our philosophy of "hook them early" seems to have worked. For his fifth
birthday, we gave our son Don his first fishing rod. Early next morning, we
took him down to the fishing pond in the park at the end of our street, and
he caught his first fish on his first cast. I'll never forget his
excitement and enthusiasm, as he landed three or four fish on that first
day, and how proud he was as we ate them for dinner. He brought home many
fish from that pond, including a few real lunkers.
Don has been an avid angler ever since, and now at 13, he is a better fly
fisher that either of his parents.
No doubt because both his parents hunt, Don wanted to learn to shoot as soon
as he was old enough. He started shooting a 22 rifle when he was eight, and
was soon out rabbit hunting. Don is a good hunter, and we've had many a
rabbit dinner in the last few years. When he was 12, he started shooting
the 243, practiced until he was accurate and confident, and last fall
successfully hunted his first antelope. Next fall, he plans to join his dad
and uncle for his first elk hunt.
Even though our daughter Tighe is not as totally enamored of hunting and
fishing as her brother, she also learned to fish and shoot at an early age.
Tighe does enjoy occasional leisurely fishing, although she often prefers to
simply hike, bird watch, and enjoy the scenery. Tighe likes to shoot
targets with the 22, and has recently taken up shooting a bow with a high
degree of accuracy. If and when she does decide to hunt, she'll be a great
By now, at 13 and 10 years old, both of our kids are terrific naturalists.
They know far more about wildlife, birds, animal sign, plants, and geology
than many adults we know. They are comfortable and proficient in outdoor
and wild land settings, and they are able to appreciate the complexity of
natural cycles, from beautiful scenery and wildlife to the cycles of life
and death. All their outdoor experiences have taught our children to be
self-confident, to love and appreciate this marvelous part of the world
we're so lucky to live in, and that they cannot take it for granted. Their
connection to nature is strong, as strong as ours, and in their budding
commitment to keeping our wild lands wild lies the future.

Club's Environmental Partnerships committee.

What does it mean to be a fan on hiatus? To someone who is not familiar with the catchphrase, it may seem to mean that a fan would take a certain length of a break from being an active fan of 'this' show or 'that' movie. It sounds like a vacation or holiday taken to help deal with the hard work it takes to be a fan.
Ha! No.
It doesn't mean that at all.
To be a fan on hiatus sucks because you have no choice in the matter. It's when there is a break between or during a television series or set of movies. The story being told is put on pause, usually with a fantastic cliff hanger that leaves questions unanswered and theories abounding.
A fan has no control over a how long a hiatus will last. Many times a show or series will have a set amount of time put aside for a break and a set date for when the show will return. Other shows, such as BBC Sherlock, know no such luxury. The fans of Sherlock waited a year between season one and season two, and they waited two years between the second and third season. They are on hiatus now for who knows how long.
So what does waiting like that do to a fan?
The effects vary from fandom to fandom. Some fandoms remain sane to a certain extent; others are known for their psychotic methods of dealing with a sudden halt in their stories. (It should be said that no fandom is ever and could never be in their right mind.) Each collective group of fans has their own level of insanity, some being more or less insane than others. The level of insanity can be deduced from the fanfiction, fan-art and mad guesses at the next episode that the fandom produces during a hiatus. The longer the hiatus, the more ridiculous and crazy a fandom will grow.
This situation could be seen as a bad thing for anyone who can be counted on the outside of a certain fandom. It is, in fact, one of the things that brings similar fans closer together. A fandom does not wither away during a break, it grows stronger and crazier until it is a force to be reckoned with.

Kids Anti Social Behaviour in Schools is Out of Control
KIDS ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR IN SCHOOLS IS OUT OF CONTROL – Spare the rod, spoil the child, appears to be the message from teachers as they point the finger directly at the parents over their kid's growing anti social behaviour at school.
I have lost count as to the number of government and social studies taken on the disruptive behaviour that is now almost uncontrollable in our schools and the blame is either directed at the teacher's lack of ability to control such behaviour or it is the parents to mollycoddle their kids to a point where children are learning that causing trouble will often get them what they want.
My views have often left me open to ridicule, I've even had some threaten me with physical harm due to my belief that the lack of Corporal Punishment is the direct result of the mayhem we see in our schools today.
UK Children Requiring Special Needs Education Soars
14 Year Old Schoolboy Arrested After Vicious Attack on a Boy with Learning Difficulties
UK School Children Out of Control with the Lack of Discipline
It is, according to the liberal thinkers, unacceptable to punish our children by giving them a good spanking. It is also no longer allowed for a teacher to spank or cane a child for misbehaviour.
Even punishment by withdrawing a child's toys or gadgets appear to be a form of unnecessary behaviour and our kids have grown to realize that there is nothing their teachers or parents can do to curb their bad behaviour – they quite simply are allow to run riot and we then wonder why violence in society is growing at an alarming rate.
In a recent study nearly 80% of teachers said that the problems arise from the lack of discipline in the home. Children are often allow to scream, stamp, shout and even use expletive language at their parents in order to obtain what they want or to get their own way.
How bad is the problem in our schools? The survey uncovered that a massive 90% of the 800 teachers that took part in the survey openly admitted that they had to deal with at least one disruptive child in the class while others said that it was a weekly or even daily occurrence and the problems are getting worse.
What is clear, from the survey, is that the problem is growing and growing fast. Children have learned that their actions can go unpunished and even get them what they want. This behaviour at home is then reflected in the classroom as they quickly realize that their teachers have no powers whatsoever to punish them.
It is astonishing to think that 77% of all class disruptions involve verbal abuse – that is the child using foul language directed at the teacher. 57% of disruptive behaviour involves physical aggression where children lash out at other pupils and teachers and that bullying is also on the rise by a staggering 41% in just the last year alone.
Where once there was respect in the home and classroom there is now anarchy. Teachers are increasingly becoming the target of children in the most devious and degrading ways, with many being wrongly accused of sexual interference simply because a child was admonished by a teacher.
Children have also taken to their social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook in order to create smear campaigns about certain teachers; knowing that their defamatory actions will have no consequences.
While I do not wish any child, as a parent myself, any harm, is it not time to reinstate Corporal Punishment and allow teachers to cane those misbehaviour and instill law, order and discipline back into the classroom; which should transgress to the home?
How is your child's education progressing? Is your child's education being stifled by those in the class that think it is acceptable to be unruly and even physically violent towards their educators and fellow pupils?
Yes, spare the rod if you must, call me whatever you like, but your actions will allow your child to grow into an adult that has no respect for themselves, let alone other in society.
UK Crime: Why are Criminals NOT Sent to Prison?
Unruly Teenagers to Face Military Style Boot Camp
Spanking Your Children Should NOT be Wrong
We have, and continue to do so, use a liberalized system and this has clearly not worked. Britain has become the most violent nation in all of Europe and if we do not educate our children to the error of their ways then this can only get worse. Is this really the legacy you want to leave behind – a violent society that is clearly out of control?
When I was a parent of a child at
high school – Monday to Friday I saw him for 2-4 hours a day. At school they
see the children and are responsible for them for 6-7 hours a day.
There should be more strict rules and when
teachers are guardians of children.
Perhaps the form teacher should
act as a Father/Mother figure for any actions at school, liaising with the child first, but then with parents by phone/email and if necessary by parents being called to school.
(If parents don't attend a parent teacher meeting, without reasonable excuse,
then a local police officer should be involved….)
http://www.meebal.com/ meebal
That's certainly one approach worth trying. Nice suggestion. Without doubt we need to do something to instill respect and in turn create self respect and any solution is better than no solution – we must explore all avenues.

This gorgeous Alvina Valenta gown was purchased at Glamour Closet in Los Angeles in March 2013 as a retail sample. It has never been worn other than as a sample and is still in the exact condition I purchased it in. We changed our wedding venue and I found another dress more suitable to the style of our wedding that I plan to wear instead. The dress is absolutely beautiful! It is ivory satin with beautiful couture detailing at the waist and shoulder. Buttons all the way down the back, from waist to the bottom of the train.
See a video of the dress in action here: http://www.theknot.com/videos/alvina-valenta-style-9159?id=1127810837001
- Alterations: No alterations have occurred to this dress - it is still on the hanger and in the Glamour Closet bag it came home from the store in. I planned to have it cleaned and altered prior to the big day, but decided to switch dresses before I began this process.
- Preservation Method: The dress has been stored in a cool, dark closet in the Glamour Closet dress bag for the last several months. It does need to be cleaned/pressed. There is one loose button at the bottom of the train, but it was like this when I purchased it.

t was an evening dedicated to ardent sports lovers
and fans. In a very different ball game the players
battled with each other on a playground that tested
their passion for sports. Answering questions on sporting
events and moments was both challenging and exciting
for the contestants. A correct reply from any team
met with a big round of applause from their respective
cheerleader and supporters in the audience. Wild guesses,
unexpected answers, shrewd and cogent reasons, missed
chances, pleading with the quizmaster for bonus points
or a good-humoured banter between the teams - it all
matched up to the spirit of an enjoyable game of quiz.
The inter-college sports quiz organised by Oxford
Bookstore, Kolkata in association with Penguin India,
Pepsi, Luxor Pens and Don Giovanni's, was a
special event that brought the best educational institutions
of West Bengal under one roof. The 10 teams competing
in the Oxford Sports Quiz included IIT, Kharagpur,
IIMC , Indian Institute of Social Welfare and Business
Management, National Institute of Management, Calcutta,
Nilratan Sarkar Medical College, Calcutta Medical
College, Presidency College, St.Xavier's College,
Lady Brabourne College and Jadavpur University.
Noted sports journalist and commentator, Kishore
Bhimani inaugurated the quiz after which quizmaster,
Sujit Bhar took centre-stage. The questions, devised
and formatted by him, were an interesting mix of athletics,
motor racing, cricket, tennis, soccer, rugby, hockey,
chess, boxing, baseball and basketball and important
sporting events.
The two preliminary rounds comprising five teams
each saw the exit of two colleges. However, what kept
people on the edge of their seats was the nail-biting
finish of the final round. While St.Xavier's
College came third, Jadavpur University and IIM, Joka
found themselves in a tiebreaker situation for the
coveted top spot. Ultimately it was a googly audio-visual
brain-teaser on Rahul Dravid that bowled out Jadavpur
University as the top contender of the day.
IIM, Joka walked away with the winner's trophy
at the Prize distribution held at Oxford Bookstore,
where actress June Maliah gave away the prizes and
certificates of merit to the participants. A young
sporty crowd cheered the winning and losing teams
all the way at the ceremony with enthusiasm and spirit.
Now that's what we call true sportsmanship…

Branford Marsalis: Sidney in Da Haus
Sidney in Da Haus
Branford Marsalis (soprano sax)
I Heard You Twice the First Time (Columbia 46083)
Branford Marsalis (soprano sax), Wynton Marsalis (trumpet), Wessell Anderson (alto saxophone), Robert Hurst (bass), Jeff "Tain" Watts (drums),
David Sagher (trombone),.
Composed by Branford Marsalis.
Recorded: Multiple locations, no date given (CD released in 1992)
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
The Sidney of the title is Sidney Bechet, the Creole clarinet (and soprano sax) master of early New Orleans jazz. Usually Branford's brother is the Marsalis sibling who plays the role of jazz museum curator, but perhaps Wynton's presence as a sideman here inspired this historically-charged performance. You probably already know that Branford Marsalis can construct thematic improvisations like Rollins or unleash modal assaults like 'Trane, but what about his Bechet bag on soprano sax? His breaks on this track are pure New Orleans, delivered with a coy "gosh, look at me" attitude that is quite endearing, and Branford follows with four picture-perfect blues choruses. Then the trumpeter in the family steps to the forefront and offers his own forceful history lesson. Only one track on I Heard You Twice the First Time features this outstanding band. 'Tis pity. I'm sure I'm not the only jazz fan who is disappointed that Wynton and Branford don't record together more often, and this track reminds me of the sparks that fly when the orbits of these two stars coincide. Oh . . . and don't miss out the New-Orleans-counterpoint-on-steroids in the opening and closing sections.

Leonard Gorenstein, M.D.
October 19th, 2007
Milwaukee native Leonard Gorenstein, M.D., of Fox Point, died Sept. 29 at the age of 90.
A graduate of Washington High School and Marquette University, he earned a medical degree from Marquette University School of Medicine in 1942.
After serving as a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II, he began a practice in pediatrics in Milwaukee that lasted more than 50 years, his family said. He served as associate clinical professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin and chief of pediatrics at Mt. Sinai Hospital for many years.

INDEPENDENCE — The Oracle Institute will have its appeal of a Grayson County Board of Supervisors' decision heard on Sept. 23.
In June, the board denied a special use permit for a spiritual retreat center in the Wilson District. Oracle President Laura George contends that the permit was denied based on county officials' religious beliefs, not on legitimate criteria that can be considered.
George has also filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against the county, seeking $300,000 in damages.

Despite the merger of ATI and AMD having brought much friction on ATI's previously healthy relationship with Intel in terms of their motherboard chipset lineups, DFI are the one partner to have stuck by their word in eventually releasing a motherboard based on ATI's much anticipated RD600 chipset, most likely the final Intel chipset we'll ever see ATI produce.
In an announcement from DFI today, the LANParty UT ICFX3200-T2R/G Motherboard is finally here!
Our review of this board will be up very soon folks, we're just as eager as you guys to find out how much it shines amongst the competition.
Taipei, Taiwan -- The merger of ATI and AMD placed the RD600 chipset in an unusual position. Despite all obstacles DFI decided to keep the faith with the eager public, which has been dreaming of the RD600 board, and continued production plans for the RD600. The power of the chipset's graphics processing capabilities with the incorporation of physics processing support has drawn interest from every hardcore gamer and over-clocking enthusiast around the world. Despite a flurry of rumors in the market, DFI's determination to bring excellent products to the market remains unchanged.

I was watching Dr. Michael Roizen, author of "The Real Age Diet", "You – The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger" and "The Real Age Makeover", this weekend on my local PBS channel talking about his popular aging theories. So, of course, like anyone I wanted to know how old am I, really? Like most of us, I think I'm still 25, but on some days I feel every day of 49!
So, for all of you out there (like me), about to reach another milestone, here are some views on aging from the granddaddy of observational comedy…
A View on Aging, By George Carlin
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!"
You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm GONNA be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're GONNA be 16!
And then the greatest day of your life . . . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony…you become 21. Yes!!!
But then you TURN 30. Ooooh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk!
He TURNED; we had to throw him out.
There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50!
And your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would.
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing;
you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch;
you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into
the 90's, you start going backwards;
"I Was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a
little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"
May we all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Actinic keratosis, also known as a solar keratosis, is a scaly or crusty bump that arises on the skin surface. The base may be light or dark, tan, pink, red, a combination of these, or the same color as the skin. The scale or crust is horny, dry, and rough, and is often recognized by touch rather than sight. Occasionally, it itches or produces a pricking or tender sensation.
Actinic keratosis can be the first step in the development of skin cancer, and, therefore, is considered a precancerous skin condition. The presence of actinic keratoses indicates that sun damage has occurred and that any kind of skin cancer can develop.
An actinic keratosis develops slowly and most likely appears on the face, ears, bald scalp, neck, backs of hands and forearms, and lips. It tends to lie flat against the skin of the head and neck, but appear elevated on arms and hands. Often, a person will have more than one actinic keratosis lesion.
The lesions are usually not life threatening, provided they are detected and treated in the early stages. However, if this is not done, they can grow large and invade the surrounding tissues and, on rare occasions, metastasize, or spread, to the internal organs.
The most aggressive form of keratosis, actinic cheilitis, appears on the lips and can evolve into squamous cell carcinoma. When this happens, about 20 percent of these carcinomas metastasize to other parts of the body.
It is estimated that up to 10 percent of active lesions, which are more red in color and more tender than the rest, will take the next step and progress to squamous cell carcinomas.
Sun exposure causes almost all actinic keratoses. Sun damage to the skin accumulates over time, so that even a brief exposure adds to the lifetime total. Certain groups of people are more at risk than others, including the following:
One in six people will develop an actinic keratosis in the course of a lifetime, according to some estimates. Older people are more likely than younger people to develop actinic keratoses, because cumulative sun exposure increases with age.
Specific treatment for actinic keratosis will be determined by your physician based on:
When diagnosed early, treatment for actinic keratosis may include cryotherapy (freezing the lesion), topical chemotherapy (anticancer drugs), or other treatments.

"Dateline" (NBC) can be seen each Friday & Saturday evening at 8/7 p.m. Last night's episode on Aug. 1, 2014 was called "Bad Blood." In the overnight TV ratings it garnered 5.70 million TV viewers overall. It reached 1.2 million TV viewers in the all important 18 to 49 adult demographic. "What would you do?" (ABC) grabbed 3.52 overall & 1.0 with adults. "Hawaii Five-0" (CBS) nabbed 4.39 overall & 0.5 with adults.
"Dateline" is an investigative program covering crime & murder in the United States. Last night's episode was reported & narrated by Keith Morrison.
"Bad Blood" opened in the small town of Conyers, Georgia. Nikki Whitehead lived in a secure neighborhood to raise her twin daughters Jasmiyah & Tasmiyah. That was before she had been brutally murdered. Nikki was a wild child who got pregnant with her girls at age 19. She became a hair stylist & met an older man named Robert Head. She moved her girls in with him at Conyers.
Nikki went to a school for "fashion" & raised her cute daughters the right way. In 2010, Jasmiyah & Tasmiyah came back to live with Nikki after staying with their great grandmother. On Wednesday Jan. 13, 2010, they came home from school & found their mother dead. Nikki was in the bathtub & it looked like there was a fight that left a bloody trail from the front door.
The sweet daughters are seen on video crying for their grandmother. One of the two girls was found biting her own arm. Both of them claimed that they had last seen Nikki when they took off for school that morning. The detectives came to the conclusion that it was a rage killing & not a robbery. Robert is a truck driver who had to be tracked down because he wasn't at the home when Nikki was killed.
A strange black car was seen around the house. One of the girls said that Nikki had another boyfriend named Joe Carter. He was a barber who worked next to Nikki's job place as a hair stylist. The detectives interviewed Robert who said he knew about Joe. He only wanted Nikki to be happy when he was driving on the road.
The detectives then took a look at Joe because Nikki & him had broken up. Joe was said to be crying when they told him she was dead. The police looked at him thoroughly & asked him to take a lie detector test which he passed. They came to the conclusion that Joe didn't have anything to do with his ex-girlfriend's death.
The two boyfriends were excluded as suspects. Was it someone Nikki knew who had killed her? Why were the twin daughters so rebellious? Did both of the daughters fight their mother before? You can watch the full episode "Bad Blood" at the "Dateline" website.

Dear Gay Community: 'Enough with the heterophobia'
Recently there has been so much discussion on Facebook and other websites about banning or keeping straight people out of gay venues.
The hatred displayed by some people on forums is disgusting and I feel terrible that they want to discriminate and hurt others just for being heterosexual.
As someone who has fought hard for equality, I find this a very backward step.
I don't want to be discriminated against when entering a predominately straight bar or restaurant.
I want to be able to get a job in any company and not hide my sexuality and not be discriminated against.
I want to be myself with my partner and be accepted where ever we go, and in order for this to happen I must accept others.
Above: Straight people are not our enemy. Discrimination against heterosexual is not on.
I realise there is still homophobia in our community and it is important to have our gay bars and safe venues, but we must not discriminate and hate on heterosexuals.
They are our parents, brothers, sisters and friends, and they deserve the same respect we demand.
The main thing is that we live in a society that has no tolerance of violence and we learn to accept people of all sexualities, race and colour.
I am finding more and more people wanting to be heterophobes and forgetting what the word 'equality' stands for.
I saw a great ad for a gay accommodation hotel Axel in Berlin that stated it was 'hetero-friendly'.
We all know what wonderful gay people the straight people helped create.
Let's be thankful how far we have come even though the struggle is not over.
One day I hope to live in a society where choose like this don't even need to be written.
Hopefully the day will come when I can marry whom I choose, live where I choose and explore this amazing world, knowing everyone is equal.
This is only my view of the world I want to live in.

XavierI see absolutely nothing wrong with having some mainly gay venues. If straights can go out any night of the week and be surrounded by likeminded people then so should we be able to. I dont mind partying with friendly straights at all in specific mixed venues but Im really sick of every gay venue becoming straight. Its bullshit. We need to feel safe and have a place where we belong just like anyone does.
DaveWe live in time we do not have equal rights because homophobes dominate the political space. A time when you can study hard, but still be denied a job not because of your ability, but because of your sexuality. The School Chaplains incarnation is the latest attempt to stop us being treated equally. Billions are spent on everything from soup kitchens to hospitals, but even though this is tax payers money, religious businesses can still deny a job or sack us, because of our sexuality.
Every year, some of us face gruesome deaths, because of our sexuality, and some of us are left with a permanent disability, because some hetro homophobic bigot felt entitled.
We live in a homophobic land. Our freedom to marry is denied, and we are treated as second class by the political elite.
The fact we have not rioted is a demonstration our community is not hetrophobic. I can understand some people want safe places, some people want a night out hassle free.
JackHow can you say discrimination is the enemy and then say we should have black only & hay only bars? Do you actually know what the word means, or do you just parrot things that you read on the Internet?
@BlueturtleADLOur one gay night club in Adelaide is now only open on Fri/Sat nights. On a Saturday night it's 70% straight, mostly women but increasingly their boyfriends too and guys looking to pick up women. When I was subjected to homophobia there one night last year on the dance floor, it was the last night I went there. So, I live in a city of a million people and I can't go out dancing on a Saturday night to a safe predominantly gay venue any more.
Rather than reprinting puff pieces by venue marketing people, maybe GNN could assign a journo to interview Mr Hanson about homophobia inside gay venues. I'll even give you the first question:
"This venue is named after the bar in NYC that is widely recognised as the birthplace of the gay liberation movement. What steps is the Stonewall Hotel taking to stamp out the reported homophobia going on inside your venue?"
And there's a wrong word in Mr Hanson's copy.
LauraPerhaps rather than having segregated venues for straight and LBGT, we could all just get over the bullshit and go out to enjoy ourselves?
I understand that it can be hard to know who is straight and who is not, but rather than drawing a line on who can interact, why not just keep the problem people out? (ie. women who can't kee their hands to themselves and men who can't interact in a civil manner, as mentioned in previous comments)
Integration and acceptance is not going to come easily if we can't even go to the same watering hole.. Just saying.
AlexI totally agree with the poster above. No such thing as heterophobia. Gay people want a safe place to not have to worry about straight people. Furthermore, I trust that the poster above also agrees we honestly don't have enough black-only clubs, where they can refuse entry to white people. Not racist, they just want to have a safe place to not have to worry about white people.
Straight people aren't the enemy. Discrimination is.
LeeYou can't always judge a person's sexuality just by being around them or looking at them. Most people assume I'm a straight girl and I would be really offended if I was refused entry to any place for that. Not everyone wears their sexuality on their sleeve.
Yes, society needs A LOT of adjusting, but there are a lot of straight people are on our side and singling them out and being prejudiced towards our own cause isn't going to get anyone anywhere.
Also, there are idiots at straight clubs just as much as straight idiots other clubs. It's not about sexuality but about ignorance and people's being generally... really dumb.
Steven CartetBeing from Melbourne, where we are lucky to have the one True Gay Bar in the country that caters completely & loyaly to The LGBT Community over the straight dollar I have been spoiled.
When I recently went to what Sydney considers a "gay bar", I was shocked to be surrounded by needy agressive straight women who felt entitled to molest me & equally agressive Straight men who glared at my proximity.
I felt uncomfortable being In a straight environment where gay men were the undetectable minority.
Sadly this is becoming the norm in "gay bars" around the country.
Gay pride wish to parade their sexuality in public. That's fine with me, but we trans people elect to keep ours personal and private. Heterosexual community is far more respectful of our wishes than gay 'pride' TERFs.
Cinsequently I like the heterosexuals and as far as I'm concerned the 'LGB' does not include 'T'.
JoshuaI've been staring, dumbfounded, at this article for an hour or so and unable to really verbalise how it's transparently obvious what the motivation behind it is — this has nothing to do with "heterophobia" — a crock of shit term that, like "reverse racism," doesn't actually exist — but it's about the management of Stonewall focusing more on making money than addressing the needs, concerns and safety of the customer base they are otherwise happy to capitalise upon.
A weekend has not passed where I have not received unwanted physical attention from a woman at Stonewall — whether it's someone grabbing my arms, trying to lift up my shirt, or in several instances groping me and getting upset when I make it clear that I don't appreciate that sort of contact (even from guys who I don't know.) This is, of course, nothing as bad as what women have to put up with by straight guys in straight venues, which is why they've gravitated to gay ones in the first place, but when the predominant crowd at a gay bar is straight women and straight men trying to pick up, it changes the atmosphere and makes it uncomfortable for the supposed primary demographic.
I cannot count how many times straight guys have been physically aggressive, rude, or nasty at Stonewall. I have been subjected to the same gay slurs at this gay venue as I have been walking down the street in Kings Cross.
Reporting these incidents to security is an exercise in futility — and with the mentality on display by the "marketing and promotions manager" it's no surprise why. Clearly this is an attitude that filters down from the top.
My advice to you is that if you want to own and operate a straight bar, or even a mixed venue, then be upfront and clear to your customers. Don't half-ass an interest in the LGBT community when you won't, in any way, shape or fashion, stick your neck out for it. You guys get away with it because there's all of three choices on Oxford st, but don't mistake that for some sort of brand loyalty.
xtoLike all things, its a few people that spoil stuff for everyone. Most of the few straight people at venues are fine but there always a few idiots that prompt people to write comments like this, just last night i heard some straight person yelling out "show us your tits" to a drag queen while doing a show... THOSE kinds of str8 people are the ones who cause people to react this way, and its their friends who need to educate them, its not our job as gay people

More than 100 people who came into contact with the dying boy are quarantined in Kyrgyzstan amid fears the infection could spread.
00:09, UK, Tuesday 27 August 2013
A teenage boy has died of bubonic plague in Kyrgyzstan after reportedly eating an infected barbecued marmot.
More than 100 people - including 19 doctors - have been put in quarantine after the 15-year-old's death, health officials said.
The boy fell ill after eating the meal with family and friends in the small mountain village of Ichke-Zhergez, in eastern Kyrgyzstan, close to the border with Kazakhstan.
Health officials said the boy died in the Karakol regional hospital. His body was cremated and his remains were buried with "special precautions".
A statement from the country's health ministry said that an epidemic was "unlikely", Interfax reported.
The last recorded case of bubonic plague in Kyrgyzstan occurred 30 years ago, health minister Dinara Saginbayeva said.
"The form of the disease in the teenager is not conducive to a plague epidemic," she said.
Doctors are administering antibiotics in the area where the boy lived and are trying to track down anyone who may have eaten the food.
Bubonic plague is a bacterial infection that is a strain of the "Black Death", a virulent disease that killed tens of millions of people in 14th century Europe.
Primarily an animal disease, it is extremely rare in humans. It is normally transmitted by flea bite but can also be transmitted by exposure to the flesh of an infected animal.
Marmots are a natural carrier of the disease and were targeted for extermination in the Soviet Union.
But the authorities in Kyrgyzstan stopped poisoning them from 1982 onwards due to the costs involved, Interfax said.

TEMPE, Ariz. ?- Arizona (39-15, 14-9 Pac-10) scored five runs on five hits in the top of the eighth inning to pull within one run of Arizona State (43-12, 18-4), but a pair of costly errors that led to four unearned runs earlier in the game proved to be too much for the Wildcats to overcome in an 8-7 loss on Thursday.
Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year Preston Guilmet, who entered the contest leading the conference in strikeouts with 126 and had a 5-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio for the year, mysteriously lost his ability to hit the strikezone. The right-hander, who had issued just 25 free passes in his previous 15 starts, walked a season-high five ASU batters on the night.
ASU's Matt Hall led off the third with a base hit back up the middle before Guilmet issued a walk to Tim Smith and Brett Wallace loaded the bases with a single to right.
Eric Sogard battled Guilmet to a full count in the next at bat and pushed home Hall on the second base on balls in the frame. It marked the first time this season that the UA hurler had walked a batter with the bases loaded.
Ike Davis followed with a run-scoring ground out to tie the game at 2-2.
Guilmet appeared to be on his way out of the inning trailing by just a run when Petey Paramore hit an RBI-grounder to Colt Sedbrook at short, but the Wildcat junior fumbled the ball for an inning extending error.
Matt Spencer popped up to Brad Glenn at third for what should have been the final out in the inning, but the fielding miscue on the previous play allowed Kiel Roling to hit and the Sun Devil DH delivered. Roling lofted a 1-0 Guilmet offering over the right field fence for a three-run homer and a 6-2 ASU lead.
Spencer hit a solo home run in the fifth and ASU took advantage of a throwing error by UA catcher Dwight Childs on a wild pitch in the seventh for an 8-2 lead.
The Wildcats sent 10 hitters to the plate in the eighth and rallied for five runs on three two-out hits, including a two-run homer by C.J. Ziegler, but freshman closer Jason Jarvis finally got ASU out of the inning with a one-run lead intact.
Jarvis then worked a perfect ninth to seal the victory and pick up his 10th save of the season.
The Wildcats, who out-hit the Sun Devils 15-7 in the game, had numerous chances, but left 11 runners on base in the contest and went just 4 for 16 in RBI opportunities.
Guilmet (11-2), who allowed a season-high eight runs, only four of which were earned, was charged with his second loss of the year. He struck out seven to go along with his season-high five walks.
ASU starter Josh Satow (11-3) picked up his 11th win of the year after holding the Cats to two runs on 10 hits in seven innings of work. He struck out seven a walked only one.
The Wildcats will try to stave off their first series sweep of the year in the regular season finale with the Sun Devils on Friday. Left-hander David Coulon is the scheduled starter for
