My friend's lung doctor said she had RA. They did blood work and said that the RA has attacked her lungs and immune system. If this is true, what can be done for treatment?
There are several lung diseases associated with rheumatoid arthritis. These include interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis (inflammation, then scarring of lung tissue), pleural effusion (fluid in the lining of the lung), pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure of the blood vessels of the lungs), rheumatoid nodules in the lungs, and pleurisy (inflammation of the lining of the lungs). The treatment depends on what kind of lung disease your friend has and can include corticosteroids and other medications that suppress the immune system. RA patients who smoke are more likely to get interstitial lung disease.

Today we hand over the blog to Jeni, who can be found most of the time at In Color Order. Jeni is a fantastically talented quilter with a great eye for colour. Her class at The Sewing Summit last year was one of the most popular, and I was really excited to hear she is teaching again this year, which means I'll be able to attend her class (and pass on her wisdom to you all too!)
When these lovely fat quarters of Quilt Blocks by Ellen Luckett Baker came in the mail, I was immediately excited about sewing with them. The colors are so bright and fresh, just my taste! Now what to sew with them, I was clueless! I didn't want to cut them up! In the end, new zipper pouches seemed just the thing! I like big pouches to use for handwork projects like embroidery, cross-stitch or English paper piecing. Plus you can never have too many bags, right?
I interfaced by bags with fusible fleece and added a little fun quilting before assembling them. I lined them both with coordinating solids and added little zipper end tabs for an extra jolt of color.
They've been getting plenty of use already!
Many thanks to Jeni for today's post. Aren't those zipped pouches fun? You can never have enough bags – that's the truth.
Be sure to come back in a couple of days for our next project.
All the details for Quilt Blocks can be found at Ellen's blog. It is due in stores April, and will available at Fat Quarter shop amongst other stores (we will be sure to keep you posted as it starts to arrive on shelves!)

For those of you serving a more savory Easter entree, pair it with these deliciously sweet glazed carrots for a meal balanced in flavor. Should Easter Sunday this year be dull and gloomy, this side dish will also brighten your table with a gorgeous pop of color.
Glazed Carrots
True "baby" carrots are a seasonal vegetable available in spring and early summer and are sold in bunches with the green tops left on. They can usually be found in upscale grocery stores or farmers' markets. "Baby-cut" carrots are mature carrots that have been peeled and cut into small carrot-shaped pieces. They are widely available year round in the produce section of most grocery stores.
What You'll Need
- 1 package (16 ounces) peeled and trimmed baby carrots
- 1 cup Swanson Chicken Broth (Regular, Natural Goodness or Certified Organic)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
How to Make It
- Heat the carrots, broth, honey and brown sugar in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the liquid is reduced to a glaze, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the orange juice, butter and parsley in the saucepan. Cook until the mixture is hot and bubbling.

College Hockey:Burke stops 39, Dufour pots two as Bowling Green beats Michigan Tech
HOUGHTON, Mich. — For the second straight weekend at home, Michigan Tech ran into a netminder who made things difficult for them at every turn.
Tommy Burke made a career-high 39 saves and Kevin Dufour added a pair of goals for visiting Bowling Green en route to a 3-2 win at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena.
"We found a way to win," said Falcons' coach Chris Bergeron. "They came in waves. I think we got fortunate around their net a couple of times. Tommy Burke was a star tonight."
Burke improved to 6-1-3 on the season with the win, but felt that the win was more important for his teammates than it was for himself.
"This is probably the only game this year where I've felt that I played to the ability I can," said Burke. "There are games where I haven't and the team's backed me up. It feels good to come out and maybe get a win for them."
Burke was challenged almost from the drop of the puck as Riley Sweeney fired a shot that rebounded to C.J. Eick, whose rebound attempt was also stopped by Burke.
Every great goalie has help from the posts every now and then and Burke got that when Eick carried the puck behind the Falcons' net before feeding it to Alex Petan. The Huskies' top scorer beat Burke with a shot, but not the crossbar.
Eick was at it again in his next shift as he got a breakaway pass. Eick attempted to beat Burke low with a wrist shot, but was again denied.
The Falcons got on the scoreboard when Matt Pohlkamp took a cross-ice pass from Pierre-Luc Mercier. Pohlkamp fired a low wrist shot back to Huskies' goalie Pheonix Copley's right. The goal, which came at 11:45, was also assisted by Mike Sullivan.
"I thought we played with a lot of energy," MTU coach Mel Pearson said. "I thought we played well, but our goalie had an off night. I liked a lot of the things we did tonight. It was just one of those nights."
Burke went right back to work at the start of the second as he stopped Jake Johnstone on a two-on-one chance just about three minutes in. On the next shift, Burke came up with a great save off a chance by Reid Sturos in the slot.
With teammate Rusty Hafner in the box for interference, Burke was again challenged as Sweeney skated through two BGSU defenders and fired a shot at Burke. The shot beat Burke, but hit the post to his left.
On the same power play, the Huskies tied the game when Sturos found Ryan Furne on the left side of the ice. Furne wasted no time beating Burke with the shot at 5:36. Brent Baltus also assist on the goal.
"We get 40 shots a game," said Furne. "'We canÕt seem to get more than two goals in a game. It's something that we need to work on."
Another power play saw the Huskies almost take the lead when Daniel Sova's blast from the left point rebounded to Sturos, who sent a backhand just wide, however.
The Huskies kept the Falcons (8-8-3 overall, 6-6-1 WCHA) from getting pucks through to Copley throughout the middle frame until Dufour got one through from the left boards. His shot, which was the Falcons' first of the period, and was set up off a pass from Mark Cooper, beat Copley at 15:40 to regain the Falcons' lead.
Dufour extended the lead just 1:42 into the third when he skated in on a one-on-two and ripped a low wrist shot that beat Copley. Jose Delgadilo assisted on the goal.
The goal ended Copley's nigh as Matt Wintjes came in to make his first appearance of the season.
Michigan Tech (6-9-4 overall, 4-4-3 WCHA) had an extended five-on-three advantage about midway through the third, but some stingy defense by the Falcons and more clutch stops by Burke preserved the lead.
Pearson pulled Wintjes with 2:47 left and a faceoff in the offensive zone. The decision paid off immediately as Petan fired a shot off a pass from co-captain Blake Pietila that eluded Burke just four seconds later. Assistant captain Tanner Kero won the draw that started the play.
A couple of penalties over the final two minutes saw the Huskies with a five-on-three advantage with Wintjes pulled again with 21.5 seconds remaining, but could not find a way to beat Burke a third time.

Emma Watson Confronted By Trespasser on Noah Movie Set
Emma Watson was confronted by a trespasser while filming her upcoming movie Noah in New York this weekend.
The unidentified man approached the actress on the Long Island set and attempted to hand her a letter, according to The Sun.
Watson was reportedly frightened by the incident, as she allegedly recognized the trespasser from trying to contact her in the past.
A rep for Watson tells Gossip Cop, "An unauthorized individual was removed from the Noah production by on-set security, as he was found trespassing. No further action was required."
Watson stars alongside Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins in the biblical epic, which is slated for a 2014 release.

Last Thursday, in his syndicated sex-advice column "Savage Love," Dan Savage wrote about the case of Billy Lucas, a 15-year-old high school student in Indiana who committed suicide after being taunted by his classmates for being gay.
In the column — titled "Give 'Em Hope," from a quote by openly gay politician Harvey Milk — Savage, himself an openly gay man, lamented that he couldn't have sat down with Lucas, even for five minutes, and told him "however bad things were, however isolated and alone he was, it gets better."
But then he realized that, while it was too late to talk to Billy Lucas, it wasn't too late to talk to the millions of kids just like him. So, right then and there, he and his husband decided to do just that. They sat down in front of a camera and told their stories about their horrific high school experiences and, more importantly, how they both survived, thrived and have gone on to live happy, healthy, joyful lives. They posted the video on YouTube and asked other gay, bisexual and transgender adults to do the same. And that's when the It Gets Better project began.
"I posted something to my blog about Billy Lucas — who might not have even been gay, he wasn't out if he was gay, and not all kids who experience anti-gay bullying are gay — but he was bullied for being gay. … And I was reading about him and about Justin Aaberg [another teenager who committed suicide after being bullied at school] in Minnesota, and the reaction as an openly gay adult, always, when you read these stories is, 'I wish I could've talked to this kid for five minutes, so I could've told him it gets better,' " Savage told MTV News on Thursday (September 30). "And it occurred to me, when I was really turning over the Billy Lucas case in my mind, that I could talk to these kids. … I could use social media, I could go on YouTube, I could make a digital video and I could post it, and I could directly address them and tell them, 'It gets better.'
"When a gay teenager commits suicide, it's because he can't picture a life for himself that's filled with joy and family and pleasure and is worth sticking around for," he continued. "So I felt it was really important that, as gay adults, we show them that our lives are good and happy and healthy and that there's a life worth sticking around for after high school."
Of course, the issue of the bullying — and digital abuse — of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teenagers isn't a new one, but for the most part, coverage has been limited to local news. Sadly, that's changed in recent days, with the apparent suicide of 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi , who reportedly leapt from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate secretly taped (and subsequently posted) video of him having a sexual encounter with another man.
Suddenly, unwittingly, the It Gets Better project became national news too. And while getting his message out to the masses — or, as he puts it, "those who need to see these videos" — is important, the sad thing, according to Savage, is that it's too late for Clementi.
"Anybody whose privacy was invaded the way Tyler Clementi's privacy was invaded would've been outraged, humiliated and embarrassed and angry, but we have to ask ourselves: What pushed him to suicide?" Savage said. "I believe that this video invasion of his privacy, this streaming of this intimate, private moment, this outing was the last straw. And I suspect that Tyler Clementi, as we find out more about him, we'll find that he was a victim of bullying in high school, bullying in middle school … It's really hard to look at this suicide and not see, perhaps, the culmination of years and years of abuse, and a moment — for Tyler Clementi — of despair."
And with the Clementi case making headlines nationwide, It Gets Better has been flooded with videos from all around the world of LGBT men and women looking to share their stories, to spread hope. The outpouring of support has been tremendous, but Savage knows that, sadly, the mainstream media will soon shift its focus away from the issue. That's why he promises It Gets Better will continue on forever, if possible.
"It's been so overwhelming, [and] we want to create an archive that lives online forever, for each generation of gay kids coming up, so they can go there and they can see these stories," he said. "I'm hearing from mothers of bullied gay teenagers who are sitting down to watch these videos together and taking such hope for their futures, and that's what I want to see. I want to see the people who need to see these videos finding their way to them. Not just today or tomorrow, but whenever."
MTV's ongoing "A Thin Line" project also provides stories and resources for anyone who believes they are being cyberbullied or who is looking for ways to stop harassment by digital means.

The Satellite, formerly known as Spaceland and consistently praised as one of the more influential independent venues in Los Angeles, has been contributing to the Silver Lake neighborhood and the music scene in L.A. since 1995. From the first concert played there, which featured Beck and the Foo Fighters, to newer bands like Gothic Tropic who have graced its stage in the past year, The Satellite is a focal point of up and coming musicians in Los Angeles.
Every Monday this month, L.A. music fans will have the opportunity to see the indie rock quartet LA Font perform at The Satellite. LA Font, a group whose tracks appear seemingly omnipresent--whether being played on KXLU in Los Angeles or creating moods on shows like House of Lies--have a lot to say.
Perhaps it is the wide and wild spaces of Alaska, Utah, and Montana where singer and guitarist Danny Bobbe grew up and began his journey towards adulthood that prompt this filling, dark ebullience, the feelings that inform the incessant insight and often the sorrow that LA Font brings to their sounds and songs. From the quiet frustration about people talking behind each others' backs in their track "Blood Orange" to the song "Onshore," which sports the shattering lyrics "take a breath of ocean water/say a prayer before I go under/I hope it's true when they say/it's peaceful/it's peaceful," LA Font is accomplished at creating poignant lyrics, layered on exceptional musicianship. Bobbe's cutting lyrics and guitar sound are complemented by the raw guitar playing of Jon Perry, the moody bass of Greg Katz, and the bold drum beats of Harlow Rodriguez. It is no wonder that LA Font is the house band for VICE's "Entitlement" comedy show, have released three well-received recordings, and are going to head out on an East Coast tour after they release "Teen Bazooka/Motor Rally," their fourth recording, on Kill/Hurt Records. LA Font is speaking, and people are drawn to listening, hypnotized by their sound and intoxicated by their words.
Independent music fans can expect nothing but exceptional performances out of LA Font, with the energy of their music translating seamlessly from their recordings to their live shows. LA Font will be joined onstage by a wide spectrum of talent throughout their residency, including loud and unapologetic feminist badasses Girlpool, Sydney-based groovy pop ensemble Lime Cordiale, miserable garage pop darlings Heathers, and Run Things, a band that sounds like a drive to the beach during a summer in Los Angeles. The final night of the residency will be full of celebration, as LA Font will commemorate the release of "Teen Bazooka/Motor Rally," their new 7".
Below is the exhaustive schedule for LA Font's residency. 10print visuals will be accompanying the music.

While former members of his congregation are bidding him farewell, fans of former Bad Boy Records rapper, Mase, can rejoice and proudly sing the sampled verse from his 2004 single "Welcome Back", in celebration of his return to the music industry. EUR reported on Monday July 21 that the rapper turned preacher, turned rapper has officially left his parishioners of the El Elyon International Church in Atlanta, Ga to return to the rap game full time.
During the 90s Mase, real name Mason Betha, definitely held a strong presence in the Hip Hop community. His run with Sean "Puffy" Combs and Bad Boy Records granted him a lucrative career in music, and offered several hit remixes that featured Mase and did well on the R&B, Hip Hop and Pop charts. The Harlem native expanded his brand by creating the six member group "Harlem World," which included his sister.
In 1999 Mase announced that he was was leaving the rap industry to answer his calling from God to become a preacher. TMZ reports that Mase and now Ex-wife Twyla Betha, built up thousands of followers and parishioners "split into two churches in Atlanta and Phoenix ... preaching the virtues of marriage and family values." Although Mase stood in the pulpit delivering "the word of God" he never truly disregarded music all together. In fact, Mase has been teetering back and forth between the pulpit and the recording studio for years. He made an attempt to revive his music career in 2009 and also in 2012 there was talk of the pastor/rapper joining G-Unit (the team led by rap mogul 50 Cent) but the deal was blocked because of an existing binding contract between Betha and Sean Combs.
Hip Hop N More released the 2012 article quoting Mase as he explained finally being released from the contract:
Mase has seen a lot in his career. After hit records, retirement and a failed deal with G-Unit, he's finally trying to make a comeback to the game. He stopped by MTV Rapfix live earlier today and revealed that he's finally off Bad Boy Records.
"I've been in that contract for 16 years. Yeah, the other day he let me out of it, so big shout-outs to Diddy, I guess he woke up feeling good and he wanted to do something good."
He also spoke on the failed G-Unit deal and admitted that Diddy blocked it because of business issues. Finally, Mase said that although he has a good relationship with Kanye, he's not ready to sing with G.O.O.D. Music or anybody else at this point.
"At this point, I don't really want to be under nobody from the aspect of being tied in a long, long contract," he said. "It's kinda like breaking up; you don't want to jump into a new relationship." - HipHopNMore
But, it's Mase's churchgoers that feel he never really followed through with his break up from the music industry; causing most of them to turn against him for that and also for trying to conceal the break up of his most sacred relationship - his marriage. Back in January TMZ reported that Mase secretly filed for divorce from Twyla Betha and as of now the divorce is final.
He's cut all ties from his marriage,and the pulpit but is back to singing, rapping and showing off his left cheek dimple. He has even re-linked with former Bad Boy executive Sean Combs to do what they were known for best in the 90s - Remixes. Mase can be heard rapping on rapper Troy Ave's "Your Style" remix also featuring T.I. (Listen to the Song)
With lyrics like "I don't trick I pimp/I give no gifts but stick- even on Hannukah. She asked if I'm faithful I said I promise ya/cause if I cheat I'm triple timing ya/cause Mase don't do no welfare/pay for no healthcare/that's what you got Obama for," it's hard to believe that he ever presented himself as a preacher in the first place.
He's also released his own new single titled "Nothing" featuring Eric Bellinger, off the soon to be released album "Now We Even" which MTV News reports will be feature the likes of Diddy, Kanye and Dipset. "Now We Even????" Hmmmm..... one can only wonder if the title is directed toward his ex-wife, Sean Combs or God.

PACIFIC X Feel Pro 95 Tennis Racquet
List Price: $229.95 Sale Price:
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Designed with the advanced player in mind, the Pacific X Feel Pro 95 combines excellent control and feel with enhanced stability for consistent performance. The thin 20mm constant beam ensures consistent feel and flex for ultimate control, while the addition of BasaltX technology increases both comfort and torsional stability. This is achieved by implenting a woven matrix of graphite and basalt fibers in higher concentrations at key areas of the frame in order to increase the stiffness at these points. The X Feel Pro 95 is constructed using the Zero Tolerance manufacturing, which ensures that all frames are made to exact specifications, guaranteeing that a player with multiple racquets will not have to deal with typical manufacturing differences. With the inclusion of Speed Zone technology, small magnets are placed into the sides of the head, which helps to increase stability and provide some extra power without sacrificing the control that advanced players are seeking.

Just hit with a demo racket and all I can say is WOW! This racket delivers on all promises. I played 4 hours today and no elbow or shoulder pain. The control is truly incredible and I found I could easily hit with power. After first hitting with it I immediately noticed improved control and finesse in volleys. Serve was a little off due to extre weight compared to my old stick. I am going to buy a few of these and retire my Wilsons.
Awesome Control Racquet
User: Lawrence, TX
I thought this racquet had superb control. I was hitting angle shots that Ive never done before and placement on my shots were fantastic. The only downside to this racquet is that it lacks a lot of power. I had to swing twice as fast as I normally do for pace and power, which tired me out in about an hour. If this racquet had more power, it would be phenomenal

Accrued Interest Calculations for Accounting
Original post by Craig Woodman of Demand Media
Accruals refer to accounting rules governing how income and expenses are calculated in a financial statement. An accrued expense is an expense that has been incurred, but has not yet been paid. Accrued income is similar, except it is commonly labeled as an account receivable. Accountants and bookkeepers must figure the value of various accrued expenses, including interest, to allow for accurate financial reporting of income and expenses.
Notes or loans
A loan will accrue interest based on the time frame that has passed since the interest was last paid. For example, a loan can have a 12 percent per year interest rate, payable on the last day of each month. This yields a 1 percent interest rate per month, or 0.0334 percent per day, based on a 30-day month. If the loan balance is $1,000, the accrued interest as of the 15th of the month is $5.10, or 0.0334 percent times the balance of $1,000.
Bonds are a corporate obligation to pay a debt, and accrued interest is calculated in much the same manner as a loan or promissory note. If someone purchases a bond on the secondary market, he pays the seller for the accrued interest. The seller multiplies the coupon rate of the bond by the fractional amount of the coupon period that has passed. If a bond pays $80 in coupon payments semiannually, and a person buyer the bond one quarter of the way into the coupon period, the buyer pays the seller $20 in accrued interest, or one-fourth of $80.
Saving's Accounts
Savings accounts also use accrued interest, with the total interest for an accounting period posting at the end of that period. Although the interest hasn't posted to the account, if the account were closed during the middle of the accounting period, the bank would add the accrued interest to the account proceeds, unless the account rules expressed differently. Saving's account accrued interest calculations are the same as loan calculations.
Compound Interest
Compound interest is the effect of interest earned during an accounting period on interest that has been paid during a prior accounting period. Interest is not earned on the accrued interest, as a rule, but is calculated based on the account balance as of the last interest posting date. If the account offers daily compounding, the accrued interest would be posted daily to allow this calculation.

Not to be that douche, but there was a thread about this back in the day.
The ugly truth behind Cort/Cor-tek guitars (a documentary)
Back on topic, it sucks how the Cortek treated their workers. I just wonder if this is gonna happen with the Fujigen factory next (since Ibanez has its own new factory in Indonesia). Yeah, I know that the Fujigen factory makes other brands, but I'm sure that Ibanez is their biggest company/customer.
Ah, the world we live in. It sucks, but as consumers demand value and cheaper prices, more and more of this happens. I'm sure that the HP laptop that I'm typing on right now was probably made in similar conditions, but there's really no alternative these days. This is one dark side of global capitalism that I can't get over.
Sorry for the political rant.

Tigerfish jump to catch birds in flight, which was recently documented for the first time making this an historic find. While people have said they've seen tigerfish jump out of the water and catch a bird in flight, this is the first time it's ever documented in a video, according to the International Business Times on Jan. 10.
As you can see in the video above, the tigerfish doesn't just poke its head out of the water with a jumping motion, the fish actually clears the water a few feet when it grabs the swallow, which is a fast moving bird. One would think this would be an extremely hard thing to do, but the fish seems to have incredible accuracy when going for the bird.
The video was shot by a team working with Nico Smit, director of the Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management at North-West University in Potchefstroom, South Africa. He shares the team's reaction by saying it could be best described as "pure joy" because they realized they had just witnessed and documented something very rare and extraordinary.
While this video shows a tigerfish catch a swallow, the researchers there that day saw this happen about 20 times. They saw about 20 different events of tigerfish catching swallows. The fish did this from different depths within the water. Each tigerfish cleared the water up to three feet when going after a bird.
Smit's heard reports of people witnessing the African tigerfish jumping out of the water up to three feet to catch their flying dinners. Reports have dated back to the 1940s. It wasn't until this point in time that a study on the migration pattern in birds by Smit and his team that they actually witnessed this themselves and were able to document it with images.
In 2012 another fish species was observed getting out of the water and coming on the land to grab a pigeon. That species was the catfish. These catfish were seen on the Tran River in France. They would get the birds on shore and drag them into the water to devour.

FULLERTON, Calif. ?- No. 2 Cal State Fullerton scored seven runs on 12 hits and twice worked out of bases-loaded jams to even the three-game series against No. 10 Arizona at one win apiece with a 7-1 victory at Goodwin Field on Saturday.
The loss dropped the Wildcats to 16-8 for the year while the Titans snapped a two-game losing streak and improved 15-4 with the win.
After Arizona's Chris Frey rallied to tie the game at 1-1 with a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning, the Titans plated three runs in the bottom of the inning on a RBI double by Blake Davis and a two-run single off the bat of Justin Turner for a 4-1 advantage before adding a single run in the seventh and two in the eighth to win going away.
The Fullerton defense meanwhile bailed starting pitcher Ryan Schreppel out of a pair bases loaded jams with two of season-high three double plays hit into by the Arizona offense.
Trailing 1-0 with one out in the fourth, the Wildcats loaded the bases on walks to Jeff Van Houten and Nick Hundley and a Jordan Brown single. CSF infielder Brett Prettyman ended the threat on grounder off the bat Jason Donald by forcing Brown out at third and throwing to first to narrowly beat Donald for the double play.
Trailing by four with one out in the seventh, Arizona filled the bases for a second time but came up empty-handed again when Brad Boyer hit into a double play at second base to end the inning.
The Wildcats went quietly in the eighth and the ninth to end a modest two-game winning streak.
Schreppel (4-0) picked up his fourth win of the year, giving up just one run on four hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked four in the game. Wes Roemer picked up his first save of the season after working out of the bases loaded jam in the seventh and holding Arizon scoreless over the final two innings.
UA's Kevin Guyette (4-2) was charged with his second loss of the year after giving up five runs on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out eight and walked just one.
Offensively, the Titans offense were paced by Turner's 2 for 4, 3-RBI night and Davis' 2 for 3, two-run effort.
The two schools will meet up for the rubber game of the three-game series at 1 p.m. PST. UA left-hander Eric Berger will take the mound as the starter for the Wildcats.

Cheryl Cole & Kim Kardashian: Their Gym Meeting!
Cheryl Cole is "so beautiful" according to Kim Kardashian, who developed a huge girl crush on the Under The Sun singer when she met her at the gym.
Cheryl had been spending a lot of time in LA when the pair met - and Kim was in awe of her natural beauty.
She told Nuts magazine: "I think she's so beautiful. I saw her at the gym once with no make-up on and she was just as gorgeous, if not more, looking natural."
Isn't that lovely? Cheryl Cole has spoken about her love for Kim Kardashian before - in an interview with InStyle back in November 2011. She said: "You know what I love about her? She's a nice person. And I like the fact that she's a woman with curves and she knows how to dress. It's hard to know how to dress sometimes."
So there you have it, a full-on showbiz bromance! RM

It can do either. $\;$ Suppose the correlation matrix is $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & x \\ x & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.
$\operatorname{det}\left(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & x \\ x & 1 \end{bmatrix}\right) = 1\cdot 1-x\cdot x = 1-x^2$
If $x<0$ then increasing the off-diagonal entries increases the determinant.

World events are always a concern for parents. Here are some tips on how you can help your children cope with such emotions:
Maintain your routine. Routines are very important to children. Keeping a regular schedule especially when the world around them seems confusing or unpredictable, gives them a sense of reassurance that they are safe. Make sure children get appropriate sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Children may find it difficult to accept routines and limits but continue by being firm, calm, and supportive.
Avoid overexposure to media. Make sure children are not overexposed to news media. Media can be graphic and if children are watching television they are more likely to feel afraid and confused with the images. Children also don't have the understanding of time and space yet and may assume that what they are seeing on the television is close to home and may become scared that a disaster will hit in their neighborhood.
Answer their questions. Children fear most when they don't understand what is happening around them. Make sure when you are answering your children's questions you are calm and respond at their developmental level. Preschooler's thinking is concrete and egocentric so keep the answers simple and only to what they need to know. School-age children can be given a more scientific approach such as explaining to them how tsunamis are formed.
Get children involved in the effort. Let your child participate in a charitable function or initiative. This will show children how people around the world are working together to the relief of to those in need. Ask the children what they would like to do. They can send clothes, food or even write letters or email to those in need. There are several charities that they could donate to such as the Global Fund for Children, Save the Children, American Red Cross and United Way, just to mention a few.

I DID MY BIT FOR DEMOCRACY" [md] ANDREW JOHNSON.
The news came that every male between the ages of 21-31 was to go to one of the numerous Local Draft Boards set up in every part of the country.
I registered with the Local Draft Board, Swarthmore, Pa. on June 5, 1917 and was given a card with the number 1493. If this number were drawn out of a large glass bowl in the Quarter-master General's Office in Washington, then I was told to report back to the L. D. B. This was the beginning of nearly a year-long period of reporting to one place or another, both in American and France.
All Summer long I anxiously scanned the daily papers for the list of numbers as published by the War Department. In September I accepted a teaching job in Virginia, but had been there hardly a month when 1493 appeared, so back I came to report to the Local Draft Board and claimed exemption because I was the sole support of my aged widowed mother and two sisters and a brother. Then, too, all teachers were supposed to be exempt from military service.
But my claims for exemption were denied. I found out later, that the chairman of the Local Draft Board, a coal yard operator named Green, had summarily placed my name on the list of men to
A special train came through one day in October and I said good-bye to my family and climbed aboard, with eight other colored men from my town. Every town the train passed through contributed its quota of young men, so that when we reached Admiral, Maryland, the train was crowded with wildly cheering, excited heroes-to-be.
Alighting from the train, we were told to line up and follow several military-appearing men. The contingent, composed of men dressed in old clothes and carrying suitcases, straggled up the road several miles until we came to a cantonment called Meade, named after a Civil War general.
Here we were lined up again, told to file into a large mess hall where we found that the Army ate other vegetables besides beans. After mess we lined up again for medical inspection, then marched off to a supply station and issued Army uniforms and equipment. Dress shoes and heavy hob-nailed field shoes, an O. D. tunic, shirt, trousers, underwear, socks, a necktie, handkerchiefs, towels and soap. Also two tightly rolled bundles of wool called spiral [puttees?]. This last almost made me quit the Army.
We marched back to some dormatories and were assigned a cot, blankets, and told to report to the parade grounds after changing into uniform.
The building I was in had about [25o?] men, and each one of them was struggling with tunics with too-tight collars, or complaining about too-large shoes, hardly any one had been lucky enough to get a perfect fit. But every one was troubled by the spiral [puttees?]. How to get what looked like a roll of O. D. bandage wrapped around one's leg! That was the question.
While we were engaged in typing, lacing, and buttoning these strange garments which go to make up a U. S. Army uniform, an orderly told us to fall in at the parade grounds. We did. And such a sight. Imagine a thousand men, unused to Army life, gathered together on a parade ground and told to stand at attention when coat-collars were threatening to choke half of them into insensibility and the other half were entangled in spiral [puttees?] improperly wrapped.
A group of 60 Negro officers stood to one side, each one of whom stood erect in freshly-pressed [sorge?] uniforms, Sam Browne belt shining to match leather boots.
One officer advanced toward us several paces and read from a paper. "General Order. You men will comprise the 368th Infantry Regiment of the Ninety-Second Division, U. S. National Army, composed of drafted men from Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. You will now enter upon a training period which will fit you for duty overseas."
So in October, 1917, the 368th was formed and I stayed with that outfit throughout the war. The men in my barracks became Company "G" of the 368th, and we had three second lieutenants, three first lieutenants and our company Commander was Captain Queen.
Captain Queen sent for me the next day, the orderly who gave me the order told me to report to company headquarters. As I came up the walk, I passed an armed guard standing in front of a large flag, and he brought his gun to the ready and asked,
"Hey, buddy, where's your manners? Don't you know better'n walk past the colors without saluting?"
He patted his gun suggestively so I turned toward the colors, as he called it, and gave the only salute I knew, a Boy Scout salute learned as a child.
The guard looked at me rather disgustedly, and commented, "You're in the army now and we'll make a soldier out of you yet." I reported at the door and was sent to Captain Queen.
"You wanted to see me? I inquired. The captain cut in on me. "Soldier. When you are told to report to an officer, always salute until recognized, saying "Corporal Johnson reporting, sir." then stand at attention."
"Yes sir."
"I see by your draft board that you can use a typewriter. I'm making you a company clerk, with rank of corporal. You'll report to Lieut. Hinkson, in charge of headquarters platoon. Dismiss."
I managed a credible salute, turned on my heel and marched out. In the Army one day and already a corporal. I went over to the supply sergeant, drew my chevrons, and walked over to the barracks where I commenced sewing them on. Then, feeling very proud of my new rank, reported to headquarters platoon.
This time I had everything right. I saluted as I passed the colors, had a soldier point out Lieut. Hinkson, walked over to him, saluted and said, "Corporal Johnson reporting for duty as ordered by Captain Queen, sir."
The Lieutenant gravely returned my salute, glanced at my sleeve and said "Corporal, You're chevrons are quite new", he said. I answered proudly, "Yes sir, Lieutenant."
"Well, they're sewn on upside down," he snapped, "Go to the company tailor and have them adjusted properly."
We drilled in the morning and had our afternoons free. But we were told to watch the bulletin board for special orders from regimental headquarters. But as there were always plenty of officers down there and we were required to salute each one we met, we stayed
One day, about three o'clock in the afternoon, nearly the entire company was watching a ball game when someone shouted "Tenshun." In the Army when an officer came around enlisted men, the first person to observe the officer called out "Tenshun," and we stood at attention until the officer said "At ease" or departed.
We looked around and saw Captain Queen striding toward us. "Why aren't you men on the parade ground?"
We looked around at each other, startled by the question. Nobody answered.
"Didn't you see the notice for regimental review and parade posted on the bulletin board?"
One brash follow spoke up. "I was down there this morning and didn't see any notice. It must have just been tacked up."
Captain Queen, a former Regular [Armyman?] with the 24th infantry, sputtered, "Just put up! Why that notice has been on the bulletin board ever since George Washington was on the police force."
We found out the notice hadn't been up quite that long but it had been up for a week. And we were supposed to be reviewed by a major-general. The major General, with his staff, had come from another camp, our camp commander, a band, and quite a number of officers, were assembled on the parade ground for a review and inspection which never came off.
Our Captain Queen had just completed a course of instruction at a fort at Des Moines, Iowa, along with a thousand other colored men, all of whom were given commissions as captain, or lieutenant, signed by the President, Woodrow Wilson, and which said that they were 'officers and gentlemen'.
Captain Queen had been a top sergeant in the 24th Regular Army Regiment when they were stationed in Arizona and chased the Indians. His brother had graduated from the Officers' Training School at the same time, but he was commissioned a lieutenant in the machine gun detachment of our regiment.
Captain Queen was younger than his brother, the Lieutenant, but the now outranked him. So the older brother, the machine gunner, was compelled to salute his baby brother, the captain.
I soon learned the distinction between an officer and myself. I studied the Army Manual, The School of the Soldier, learned how to clean and care for a rifle, how to execute "order arms" without smashing my toes. I learned the difference between a canteen and a latrine. Being in the headquarters platoon, I was able to find out news of impending troop movements. In fact, I typed the order cancelling all leaves and ordering the men to report to the parade grounds with packs and in full marching order.
We were reviewed and inspected and then marked direct to a waiting train. Once on the train we were issued cards on which we wrote, Am leaving for somewhere in France. Goodbye.
We detrained at Hoboken. When we arrived darkness had fallen and it was raining a little. In the drizzle we were marched up the gang-plank of a transport and told to stay below decks until we were well out to sea.
The next morning Captain Queen sent for me. I had on a life preserver, as did everyone else. The captain wanted the company roster (list of men) as he was going to put us through Abandon Ship Drill. When I came on deck I was able to see other troopships, [camouflageed?] with vertical stripes and pursuing a zigzag course, convoyed by eight or ten destroyers.
The North Atlantic was cold and dismal. In fact, the whole business was rather grim and uninspiring, but we reached Brest without incident, didn't even have one submarine scare on the way over.
It was in Brest that I saw some colored soldiers wearing red fezzes and tan uniforms, standing on one of the street corners. One of the men from my company, who came originally from a small town, crossed over the street toward them and inquired.
"Where can I get some cigarettes in the Frog town?" The red-fezzed soldiers glanced at him, spoke among themselves, then turned to him and shrugged complete incomprehension.
I saw that my friend was becoming angry so I crossed over. "What's the trouble, bud?", I asked.
"These big boys act like they don't want to have anything to do with me. They're talking a lot of gibberish, won't answer my questions."
I had a little trouble convincing him that "those big boys" were FRENCH Africans, couldn't understand English and weren't trying to be high hat.
Later on I ran into another bunch of Algerians who had been at the Front and who carried around fingers from dead Germans.
We went into intensive training and after six weeks we marched up to the town of Nancy in the Department of Douliard. We marched at night, rested in fields by day and noticed the almost solid lines of truck headed toward the Front, and passed troops returning from a tour of duty in the front line trenches.
In each squad, in addition to the riflemen there were [grenadiers?] who carried hand grenades. While we were marching we had the first casualty in our company. A grenadier, a belt of hand [grenadea?] strapped around his middle, stumbled and fell, the grenades exploded, everybody
Of the dead we buried two, but the third, the grenadier was blown to bits, nothing left but a hole in the road.
We were in the [Argonne?] Forest when the pig push started an September 26, 1918 and we stayed in there five days, part of the time we were shelled by our own artillery in support, the 349th Filed Artillery Regiment. We had no battle flags, no shears to cut barbed wire entaglements, our liaison [men?] (runners with messengers) were all killed or wounded trying to get through with messages.
Lieut. Hinkson, dressed in a private's uniform and carrying a rifle as well as a sidearm (
Enemy airplanes flow over us several times, dropping pamphlets addressed to us. "Colored Americans. We have no quarrel with you. We are your friends. Throw down your arms and cover over to our side. We will treat you better than you are treated in the South"."
But I don't remember a single case of desertion.
After the [Argonns?], we went up into the [Vosgen?] Mountains, where it was rather quiet. We needed it for we had been cut up pretty badly. Replacements (soldiers sent to a unit to replace the dead and wounded) were sent us, and I was promoted to Sergeant. The replacement were creoles from Louisiana. They spoke French and one became our company interpreter. So soon every soldier picked up a few words of French.
One night I was on duty as Sergeant of the Guard and while at Post Number one (the guard house) one of the sentries posted on
Armistice Day found us before Metz. We were waiting to storm a great walled city which would have cost us many men, as we would have to cross a level plain about two miles long.
In December 1918 we were marched to [Le Mona?], the central delousing plant of the A. E. F. Here we had our clothes taken from us, and I lost my sweater which had been knitted for me by my girl friend, we were plunged into baths, and when we came out the other end we were given clean clothes, and that was the end of the big gray cooties which had been our constant companions.
Back to the mud of [Brest?] and here we embarked for home near the end of February, 1919, and after staying in Camp Upton a few days we were sent to Camp [Meade?], Maryland where on March 5, 1919 we were given a bonus of $60, an honorable discharge, and the 368th Infantry regiment became a part of history.

In its 37th year, the proceeds from the Crackerjack Carnival assist the Camp Hill Carina Welfare Association in maintaining the Clem Jones Centre, which is widely recognised for its recreational facilities and engaging young people to participate in sports and leisure activities.
I dropped into the Crackerjack Carnival with local State Member, Steve Kilburn, to check out some of the festivities.
For those of you who haven't had a chance to attend the Crackerjack Carnival, I would tend to agree with the organisers who describe it as a mini 'Royal Show'.
Steve and I tried our luck (or lack of luck) with several carnival games before stopping to watch the fantastic fireworks display.
I want to congratulate Steve Heald, CEO of the Clem Jones Centre, and the many other community members who make this such a successful event for another great event this year.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Sevilla vs. Real Zaragoza 2013 (en vivo live score below) kicks off the second leg of the Copa Del Rey quarterfinals round today. Soccer fans certainly have a plethora of futbol matches today. The day started with two International Friendly matches, then two Africa Cup of Nations group round results, one Capital One Cup semifinals showdown, and one Premier League match. Moreover, overnight concluded the groups stage of the Copa Centroamericana games as well.
But today's Sevilla vs. Real Zaragoza 2013 (start time 10:30 am PST) functions much like the Capital One Cup structure. Copa del Rey teams, like Capital One Cup squads, get two quarterfinals matches. Today kicks off the second round of those Copa del Rey quarterfinals matches.
Currently, the Copa del Rey is down to eight teams. Four matches were played last week. Two teams, however, have two goal deficits coming into this week's matches. They are Valencia and Betis, officials tell news.
Today's Sevilla vs. Real Zaragoza game follows the two teams' draw last week. Sevilla reached the Round of 16 after defeating Mallorca back in December, officials tell news. Then Sevilla impressed news before a packed crowd in Palma, delivering five goals against a scoreless Mallorca. Earlier this month, in the second leg of the Round of 16, Sevilla was beaten by Mallorca in a 1-2 final score.
Zaragoza, however, has been improving on offense. In December, Zaragoza only produced on goal in their win over Levante, news analysts note. This month, however, they delivered two goals in their second match against Levante.
The winner after two quarterfinals matches between Sevilla and Zaragoza will face the winner of Atletico Madrid or Betis, officials tell news. For live score results today, click HERE.

If there is a hankering for caffeine but not for the usual coffeehouse that hugs every street corner, then try Sambalatte Torrefazionne. Sambalatte is a unique taste experience that is spreading across the Vegas valley and has three locations; at the Monte Carlo Casino & Hotel located on the Vegas strip, Boca Park, and the most recent, Jones Blvd.
With a desire to protect the planet, this cozy establishment brews beans that has traceability from the harvest until it's arrival at its shops. The focus on quality and taste is what drives this business, using an array of local artisan roasted blends, roated weekly from Brazil and throughout the world.
The mission at Sambalatte is to deliver the best coffee experience possible and that every cup of coffee tasted tomorrow shoud be better than the coffee you had yesterday. With that in mind, Sambalatte is an eco-concious business that is green, eco-friendly, sustainable, organic, local and hosts a sturdy recycling program.
As a first time visitor, one of the first things noticed is the earthiness of the coffeehouse. The atmosphere is organic with wood, slats as the tabletop. The colors represent the different stages of the coffee beans, from flowering to roasting, allowing the indulgence in the aromatic, palatable, and visual senses.
A "Theatre of Coffee", a coffee lab from which to choose your flavors, houses The Steampunk Coffee Maker, a machine designed to blend the perfect cup of coffee every time and incorporates new technologies into brewing machines that reflects industrial design from the past and present. If one decides to order a frothy mixture there is what the staff likes to call, "Art Latte", a special design in the froth.
Options such as the Iced Green Peppermint Tea, Pour Over Brewed Coffee, Iced Yerba Matte, Granitas, Afogato, and Aeropress truly make Sambalatte an experience to remember.
To complement your coffee(or tea),there are delicious treats available, like Apple Turnovers, Almond Triangles, Carrot Muffins(great option for breakfast) and much more, or if something fruity is more preferred try out the satisfying smoothies as well.
Sambalatte likens to an exotic getaway to Brazil with its relaxing samba beats taking you away as you enjoy your light fare and it is recommended that anyone try it.

Today, we visited the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) at COBO, and it was fun to see Detroit's business theater community in full swing.
"Business Theatre?" you might ask.
Yes, if you grew up in Detroit as part of the theater/film/production community – with either talent, design, script or production credentials – odds are you've done corporate work. It's not for pansies, mind you, but it pays pretty well.
Compared to when I started in this business (shortly after crank-starters were dropped in favor of Boss Kettering's new gadget) most of the actors who staff the exhibits actually get to keep their dignity. In exchange for just being beautiful people who stand by the cars and look superior, today's auto show talent have to actually know a few things about the product or technology they represent, they need to be able to think on their feet, and they need to be friendly. Go figure.
As for the design and production people – this is where they get to play with the big budgets. Giant LED screens with projection mapping, animated Hoberman spheres, near-proximity sensing – it's all part of the experiential marketing fun that comes to Motown once a year. And if you happen to be working on the press previews – with the elaborate car reveals – you know that the competitive pressure is intense. When the CEO's of the world's biggest auto companies are waiting in the wings for you to make them look like heroes, there is no margin for error.
No doubt, there are some people who feel that doing corporate work is equivalent to slumming or, perhaps, selling out. Assuredly, these are people who haven't done any actual corporate work; those who have know that this is a great place to hone one's craft, learn what it's like to interact in an immersive and often chaotic environment, and do it for hours on end without a break.
Friday evening's Charity Preview "black tie" event is the Detroit equivalent of senior prom and opening night combined. Everyone puts their best foot forward and hopes for kind reviews. Then the doors open to the public on Saturday morning and the circus begins in earnest.
Many of our area theater professionals will be represented. Consider this the first of what we hope are many "shout outs" to all the theater peeps represented at the auto show. Bravo!
If you're a veteran of the business theater scene, or have something to share about NAIAS, feel free to leave a comment!

The City of St. Augustine hosted its annual Arbor Day Ceremony on Friday, January 17 at the Willie Galimore Community Center under clear, but chilly skies.
This year, the trees planted at the conclusion of the ceremony, five Redbud trees, are in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights act and the important role St. Augustine played in that effort.
"As these trees grow and bloom year after year, they will serve as a reminder of the brave acts undertaken by members of our own city who dared to say the status quo was not acceptable and by doing so played a critical role in improving the lives of those in our community and across the nation," Said St. Augustine Mayor Joe Boles in remarks during the ceremony.
This year's ceremony marked the 31st year the city has received the prized designation of Tree City USA from the National Arbor Day Foundation. There are 163 cities in the State of Florida which have received the designation of Tree City USA, but only seven have held the designation longer than St. Augustine. In addition, the Foundation presented the city with the Tree City USA Growth Award, an honor it has received every year since 1991.
Ms. Gina Burrell, long time member of the SATC, presented a new Tree City USA Flag to the Mayor.
"This Tree City USA flag, provided to us by the National Arbor Day Foundation, will fly in front of City Hall along with our national, state and city flags, truly indicative of the status we place on this recognition and of our community's dedication and continued commitment to urban forests," said Burrell.
The type of tree and the location is determined each year by the Street Tree Advisory Committee (STAC). Over the past 31 years, the city has planted 88 trees in more than 20 locations as part of Arbor Day ceremonies.
As is the tradition, the ceremony includes, in addition to the planting of trees by city officials, presentations by the STAC, and participation from one of the city's elementary schools. This year, students from Ketterlinus Elementary School sang This Land is Your Land and ofered several readings appropriate for Arbor Day. And, as is also a standing tradition, the ceremony concluded with Smokey Bear assisting in the distribution of a variety of saplings to all in attendance.
While National Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April, individual states hold ceremonies on dates better suited to their own tree-planting season. Florida's Arbor Day is celebrated on the third Friday in January.
Past Arbor Day ceremonies have included planting Holly, Live Oak, Red Maple and Sycamore trees at Sebastian Inland Harbor, the Francis Field, Joseph Pomar, Jr. Recreational Facility, Eddie Vickers Recreational Facility, Government House, J. Edward "Red" Cox Recreational Facility, the Plaza de la Constitución, Davenport Park and the Fullerwood neighborhood.

Things got really hot in the "Big Brother" house early Saturday morning and it has fans of the show wondering if the Bomb Squad alliance is over. In one of the best turnarounds in recent "Big Brother" history, it looks like Devin has made himself the new target. Devin is the current Head of Household and other house guests feel like he has been bullying and pushing around everyone else. According to a Saturday report by Buddy TV, it looks like Devin has put himself firmly in the hot seat. Will he go home next week?
Devin was part of the eight member Bomb Squad alliance. Now it's starting to look like there are seven members left because early Saturday morning around 3 a.m. those with the live feeds saw Devin yell at Caleb that he was no longer in the alliance. He did it loud enough that those not involved in the alliance heard it too.
It'll probably take some damage control to make sure the news doesn't get out. Honestly though, Devin is so heated right now that it's almost a for sure thing that he'll spill the beans on the whole Bomb Squad operation. "Big Brother" house guests that are still in on the Bomb Squad alliance are Caleb, Amber, Zach, Christine, Cody, Derrick and Frankie.
The confrontation started after Christine joined up with a group of Bomb Squad members outside in the hammock. She told them about Devin talking to her in the HoH room. Both Amber and Christine said they were scared of Devin and that got the rest of the group upset. They decided that Devin is a bully and that since he won HoH, the power has really gone to his head. This often happens when one thinks they are the leader of the alliance and the others don't feel that way.
Caleb took it upon himself to confront Devin about his little power trip and to tell him that the women in the house are scared of him. Devin confronted Christine outside to ask if she's scared of him. We all know how it goes when you put someone on the spot so Christine tried to just avoid him and the question in general.
Devin ended up telling Caleb that his crush on Amber is messing with his game. This intensified their argument even more and it ended with Devin exclaiming that the alliance is over. Those house guests not in the alliance are trying to put pieces together while the Bomb Squad tried to downplay the alliance as just an agreement between Devin and Caleb. Surely as Devin scrambles to regain support in the house, he'll out the rest of the group.
So what do you think of the house turning against Devin on "Big Brother 16"? Were you Team Devin or are you glad he's lost some power and hopefully some of that ego? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
