MTV Movie Awards 2010: Scarlett Johansson, Sandra Bullock, and Les Grossman Share Spotlight
"The Twilight Saga: New Moon" had a big night at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, taking home several honors, including the prize for best movie. But who really cares who won? The annual extravaganza is really about who kisses whom, and the various attention-grabbing stunts the stars and MTV pull to make headlines and prompt Google searches after the telecast.
The award show started promisingly with a funny skit featuring Tom Cruise reprising his role as out-of-control producer Les Grossman from the comedy "Tropic Thunder." It will be hard to forget Cruise-as-Grossman begging "Karate Kid" star Jaden Smith to break his arm while Will Smith looked on.
That segment was followed by a bit with host Aziz Ansari that featured cameos by Justin Bieber and others. It wasn't as amusing as the opener, but Cruise/Grossman was a hard act to follow. In his opening monologue, Ansari made fun of people who think 3-D makes movies look real, pointing out that "Avatar," "Clash of the Titans" and "Alice in Wonderland" were some of the most unrealistic movies in recent memory. "Those movies look like video games," said Aziz.
There were plenty of celebrities in the audience, including "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner, star of nothing at the moment Lindsay Lohan, and Sandra Bullock, who was given the MTV Generation Award. Bullock was making a splashy public appearance in the wake of her husband Jesse James's very public infidelity. "Number one, I am not dead," said Bullock after she accepted her award from Betty White. "Honey don't ever wear that dress backward," White cracked about Bullock's plunging nearly backless dress.
But White's witticism was quickly upstaged when Bullock and Scarlett Johansson shared a brief, showy kiss. "Okay, now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal?" said Bullock after the lip lock.
Some of the night's winners included Kristen Stewart (best female performance), Anna Kendrick (best breakout star), Rain (biggest badass star), Robert Pattinson (best male performance) and Stewart/Pattinson (best kiss).
The show featured a musical performance from Katy Perry with Snoop Dogg, and another from Christina Aguilera that included numerous bleeped out words and the line "you know you want to put your lips where my hips are." And for those that couldn't follow the lyrics, Aguilera's set ended with the camera zooming in on a pulsing heart positioned over her crotch.
The night's oddest pairing came when Cruise returned in his Grossman guise and performed a cane-twirling, pelvis-thrusting hip-hop dance with Jennifer Lopez. It may have been one of Lopez's best routines since she was a fly girl.
Ansari ended the night by making a crack about how "Twilight" had won everything. He was close to the truth.

Wondering how to mix a drink like a bartender? A host that has the ability to serve and mix drinks is a very impressive one. There are many ways to learn how to become as good as the professionals.To start here is a list of liquors needed to begin this lesson: whiskey, scotch, gin, vodka, tequila, and rum.
The following mixers are essential for serving up good cocktails: carbonated water, tonic water, lemon-lime seltzer, and ginger ale.
The following garnishes are needed to add appeal to mixed drinks: maraschino cherries, olives, lemon peels, lime, and lemon wedges. These are the most commonly used garnishes but adding pineapple, and strawberry to the list can add an exotic twist.
The glasses used are important for an excellent drink presentation. Don't serve wine in a regular glass, use a wine glass or a stemless wine glass. Other glasses needed are a ten- or 12-ounce all-purpose glasses will work for nearly every alcoholic drink, excluding wines.
There are tools needed to assist in the preparation process, they are: a cocktail shaker, bottle opener, corkscrew, cocktail shaker, toothpicks, cocktail napkins, small towel, sponge, and wastebasket. A blender is handy for frozen drinks and blended margaritas or daiquiris. Of course ice is necessary for blended drinks and other drinks upon request. This is the fast and easy way to learn how to mix a drink like a bartender.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
by William Shakespeare
Character Role Analysis
Changeling to Bottom
As we know, Oberon uses his magic love potion to cause Titania to fall in love with Bottom. Titania becomes so enamored of Bottom that she forgets all about her foster child (a.k.a. the changeling) and gives the little boy over to Oberon. In a way, Bottom becomes a kind of substitute for the little boy. (We know this is kind of creepy given that Titania and Bottom's relationship is mostly romantic in nature, but bear with us for a minute.) Before Bottom came along, Titania once lavished all of her love and affection on the changeling boy, "Crown[ing] him with flowers and [making] him all her joy" (2.1.27-28). Once Bottom is substituted for Titania's foster son, the Fairy Queen spends all her time doting on him and ordering her fairies to make him comfortable. In other words, Titania has got some serious maternal instincts and she's looking for someone to nurture. She also ends up infantilizing Bottom by treating him like a baby.

First, show that for a general half-space $H$, $B\cap H$ has smaller boundary than $B$.
If $A$ is sufficiently smooth, you can write $A$ as the intersection of $B$ with a countable family of half-spaces, say
$A=B\cap(\bigcap_{k=1}^\infty H_k)$
From this (and lower semicontinuity of the perimeter functional, see any text of sets of finite perimeter), it follows that $A$ has smaller boundary than $B$.

New Year's resolution number 1 is to lose weight meaning that delicious carbs are typically cut out of everyone's diet. Poor carbohydrates always get the short end of the stick. While cutting them out completely is hard, it's easy to reinvent recipes to make them low carb – like these sausage stuffed zucchini.
In this recipe, zucchini are hollowed out and filled with Italian sausage, tomato sauce and topped with mozzarella cheese. Serve this with a salad and I promise that you won't miss any pasta. Zucchini are the perfect blank (read: bland) canvas for creating these "boats". Try ground beef or turkey with taco seasoning, enchilada sauce and jack cheese – out of this world!
Italian sausage stuffed zucchini – recipe makes 6 "boats"
- 3 zucchini
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup red wine (chicken stock can be substituted)
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and Pepper
- Shredded mozzarella
Begin by preheating an oven to 350 degrees.
Slice the zucchini in half and, using a spoon, scoop out the flesh so the sausage can fit inside. Reserve ½ cup of zucchini flesh.
In a sauté pan over medium high heat, cook the sausage until brown and full cooked; about 8 minutes. Add the reserved zucchini flesh and cook until soft; about 3 minutes. Next, add the tomato paste and stir to coat the sausage. Remove sausage mixture from the pan and reserve.
To the same pan, add onions and garlic and cook until soft; about 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with red wine scraping up any brown bits. Add crushed tomatoes, season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened; about 5 minutes.
Pour 1 cup of tomato sauce into the bottom of an 8x8" baking dish (you may need a 9x13" depending on the size of the zucchini). Arrange the cut zucchini around the dish and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Next, scoop the sausage into the zucchini boats until they're overflowing with deliciousness. Spread the remaining tomato sauce on top of the sausage mixture and top with a mozzarella cheese.
Bake until the zucchini are soft and the sauce is bubbling – about 20-25 minutes. Serve with parmesan cheese and a nice salad. And as with most Italian foods, this is even better the next day.

Droughts in western states and dwindling annual snowpack in the Rockies and Cascades are spelling disaster. Much of the electricity bases and most drinking water sources for the western states depend on a flow of bulk moisture in rain and snow. In recent years, as right now, the high pressure zone is holding steady over us, depriving us of what was our regular naturally-occurring winter deposit.
Smog in China's cities creates health issues there AND here
Recent studies indicate the plumes from coal-fired plants in China are responsible for as much as 25% of the pollution in its path, specifically the western states of the US. As China imports more and more coal of higher carbon content than their own, they are accomplishing several tasks at once. First, they are saving the coal deposit in their homeland, adding value by handling cheap international coal. Secondly, the better coal moving through their electricity-generating plants – with a new plant currently coming online at the rate of one every 7 days – provides more energy while minimizing the smog that is now notorious for health impacts in China's cities. Better grade coal means less coal-related health expense in addition to the perception of cleaner air than when local coal fed the fires and the smog.
The Red Plume
These plants create an average of 1000 MW each and dump their pollution just upstream from the western coast of the United States a few thousand miles. Yes, we are breathing the exhaust from Chinese manufacturing into our lungs all across the Pacific Coast. We are also drying out from the impact of the Red Plume on the flow of the Jetstream. Pollution, yes, along with drought.
As the world grows more reliant on diversified labor opportunities around the globe, the new manufacturing hub of choice is China with all those millions of young people, the abundance of technological expertise there, and all that thriving growth potential. The shelves of retail would literally dry up without China. Talk about a world-wide drought! The down-side of China's growth, however, is the high pressure re-directing the Jetstream now for as long as the drought has plagued us - for the last 15 years or so, from just upstream of the flow across the Pacific Ocean - from the Red Plume.
Signature of coal: Pollution and High Pressure
Hundreds of coal-fired plants spew mercury, oxides of nitrogen and carbon into the atmosphere. The rotation of the planet creates the Jetstream delivering our flow. With all the coal fires, the temperature and pressure of these stacks act as a sideways pressure on the Jetstream. The combustion pressure exerted by the accumulated exhaust of ~ 150 coal cars per minute in very hot fires today impacts not just the air quality and content of pollutants, but also the air pressure and the flows of moisture that once were our staple diets for electricity from our hydro-electric plants and clean waters in our reservoirs.
As consumers of many products from developing countries, all of us are responsible for the demand for some of these goods. We carry them home from the well-worn shelves at Walmart, Best Buy, Dollar General, Home Depot. Australia and Indonesia sell them plenty of coal; so do many nations. It's cheap. Dirty, but cheap first. Now that the impacts of both dirty and cheap are coming home to roost, it may be a good time to reconsider whether we prefer rain and snow over what we have been getting lately – winters full of high pressure.
Summer days are full of lazy haze, and fraught with drought and doubt. The once mighty Colorado River shrinks some more, leaving Lake Mead dropping down and maybe out.. The Columbia River shrivels from shrinking snowpacks, year by sniveling year. Salmon runs trickle down, and fishermen sell their old gear.. Oceans acidify as acres of coral die.. Keystone species (like pteropods) are trapped in those nasty gases that jeopardize their lives with the CO2 impacts. Starved-out California farmers finally find other jobs, like fighting fires with an ax.
Meanwhile in the new power plants, it's BURN, BABY, BURN! Quotas and products and profits, oh my!

GLBT Resource Center Celebrates Ten Years of Service
By Linda Besen, Publications and Creative Services
The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Resource Center will celebrate its 10th anniversary in April. CU-Boulder is among only a handful of universities across the country that have a GLBT center that is a decade or more old, according to its new director Stephanie Wilenchek. The center, located in Willard Hall 227, provides education, support and advocacy around GLBT issues. The GLBT Resource Center also provides a safe space for GLBT students, faculty, staff and allies to visit. Many students hang out in the comfortable office to socialize and/or study.
The center is open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Wilenchek, who assumed the director post January 1, 2005, has been active in the GLBT community for over 11 years. She was coordinator of Sexual Assault Support Services at Duke University's Women's Center and director of operations at The Women's Center in Chapel Hill.
When asked about the center's hopes and goals for the future, Wilencheck says, "End homophobia, transphobia and other forms of oppression," adding, "We would love to increase our funding through community support so we can expand our programming, support and activities."
Reflecting on the center's legacy, Wilencheck says, "I think most recently the center is proud of advocating for issues surrounding transgender people on campus. Often the 'T' in GLBT gets overlooked, pushed to the side and forgotten. Bringing voice to the transgender community is something the center supports greatly."
The 10th Anniversary party for the GLBT Resource Center is April 13 at 6:00 p.m. in the Koenig Alumni center. All are invited; RSVP by calling 303-492-1377. It is a casual event with food and drink and some interactive activities.
For more information on the center's programs and activities, visit the web site.

EUGENE, Ore. – Between the two, Jody-Ann Muir and Erica Bougard have garnered an impressive collection of accolades.
Friday at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field, they grabbed even more hardware.

Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month
When the White House proclaimed October 2004 to be National Cyber Security Awareness Month, the Internet looked very different than it does today. Smartphones and social networks are just two of the dramatic changes of the last decade. Americans are communicating more frequently, with more people, and sharing more personal information than ever.
An online society offers great benefits, but it also poses serious risks. Viruses and malware are threats to our devices and our privacy; identity theft threatens our financial wellbeing. Countering emerging online threats requires the entire nation to be involved — from government and law enforcement to the private sector to the public. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
That's why, as we mark the 10th anniversary of National Cyber Security Awareness Month this October, practicing safe online habits and sharing suggestions about maintaining online security have never been more important.
Here are five ways to protect yourself — and your family — online throughout the year:
- Make computer security part of your routine by regularly updating your security software
- Learn how to recognize common online scams
- Keep your personal information secure — online and off — to reduce the risk of identity theft
- Share games, videos, and articles about online safety with your family members
- Subscribe to the OnGuardOnline.gov blog for timely tips about online safety and security
And mark your calendars for October 24 at 3:00 p.m. ET to join a Twitter chat on how to protect your family from cybercrime. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and hear from experts at the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Homeland Security, Stop.Think.Connect., and others. Follow @FTC and use the hashtag #ChatSTC to join the conversation.
OnGuard I just don't know what I would do without you cats and team of service for protecting America@ online system.

Running Python on Windows XP
By DaveLevy on Jun 16, 2007
I got myself a copy of the O'Reilley "Learning Python" book and started working myway through it. For various reasons, I decided to try it on Windows; I thought the binary install would be easier and I am in the process of upgrading the Solaris version and I wanted to finish that first. The windows install from python.org is quite cute, as you would expect but it requires some further configuration before the python imports and module search works properly.
Firstly my "My Documents" is on a different disk to the Program Files directory. The Python interpreter is installed by default into the C:\\Program Files directory. This means that Python is not in the %PATH% string and that the icon for the Python CLI starts a Python instance that can't see/find my programs. My first instinct was to write a script that invokes the interpreter from the python scripts directory and I came across this link.
This pointed me to the windows help center's A-Z command reference. (Obvious, but so easy not to know about; its available from the [Start] button or using F1 while the desktop is current).
I wrote the following mighty script, called run_python.
C:\\PROGRA~1\\PYTHON2.5\\python %1
which is located in my python modules directory/folder. This can be run from the command line or explorer to start the interpreter or takes a single file argument from a command line to run a python module. This still isn't what we want, so I found
which pointed out that the PATH variable can be edited using
My Computer - Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables
so this is what I did, which means that is when I
[Start] [Run] [command], and then type 'python', the command interpreter starts. This means I can use the command line to run programs, or I can iconise the modules, or create batch files containing the python module invocation. I think my super script above will become redundant, but it proves to me that scripting will never go away and I am gratefull for the help of the two web sites above, which I though I'd share with you.

Gary McFarland: Reflections in the Park
Reflections in the Park
Gary McFarland (leader, vibes)
The Gary McFarland Orchestra ñ Special Guest Soloist: Bill Evans (Verve V/V6-8518)
Gary McFarland (leader, vibes), Bill Evans (piano), Jim Hall (guitar),
Phil Woods (clarinet), Spencer Sinatra (alto flute), Julian Barber, Allan Goldberg (violas), Aaron Juvelier, Joseph Tekula (celli), Richard Davis (bass), Ed Shaughnessy (drums).
Composed & arranged by Gary McFarland.
Recorded: New York, December 18, 1962
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
There are three Gary McFarland albums that I regard as his masterworks, and this is the first. (The others are The October Suite and America the Beautiful: An Account of Its Disappearance.) It's a collection of original pieces for an unusual chamber jazz instrumentation, featuring soloists Bill Evans, Jim Hall, and McFarland. (McFarland was a capable vibraphonist who worked well within his technical limitations.) "Reflections in the Park" captures the gentle mood of the album as a whole. Evans, around whom McFarland built this project, plays beautifully, delivering masterly interpretations of music that he reportedly saw for the first time in the recording studio.

Eco-Architect, Ingrid Cryns has written soma earth HOME ENERGETIC BALANCING (2012), a small book (70 pgs) as a compilation of several years experience, learning how to heal, clear and balance the invisible energies, in the spaces that she lives and works in (such as electromagnetic, electrical, geopathic, water courses, metaphysical, Feng Shui, space clearing, etc.).
The book is intended as a loose guide, kind of like a cook book, with 21 different possibilities that you can put together on your own of what might attract you to do for yourself. The intention is to empower people with more awareness of how their inner world is influenced and affected by their outer world environments.

Disease Proof
Fruits and Veggies, Super Colors
Don't those concord grapes look great! And their purple hue is dynamite for health. Actually, reds, purples, greens, oranges and whites are ALL really good.
Jacki Donaldson of That'sFit passes along an awesome list of colorful foods. Take a look:
- Red: Pink grapefruit, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and watermelon all contain lycopene, a lung and prostate cancer fighter.
- Purple: Concord grapes, blueberries, and prunes have anthocyanins to ward off heart disease and lower the risk of cancer.
- Green: Spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, and bok choy come with lutein, great for reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and macular degeneration.
- Orange: Carrots, mangos, pumpkin, and oranges are the keepers of beta carotenes, the stuff that prevents cancers of the lung, esophagus, and stomach and keeps heart disease risk to a minimum and immune function to a maximum.
- White: Cauliflower, mushrooms, banana, and onions are stocked with anthoxanthins and allicin to help lower blood pressure and protect against stomach cancer.
Sweet! These colors really go along with Dr. Fuhrman's ten super foods and fab five.

If a website is given, go there and check where/when they are scheduled. Most do travel, but they usually do it on an "invite only basis" (e.g. someone arranges a shooting location and contacts one of these trainers, then tries to get folks to sign up to take the class there). Thus, they may only do one session in an area over a number of years. Therefore, the past is no guarantee of future availability in a given location.Quote:

Engelbert Humperdinck, crooner from the '60s and '70s, performed at the Fox Theatre in Tucson, AZ, Feb 11, 2014. The pop singer has 77 studio albums, with more than 130 million copies sold worldwide. Add 64 gold and 24 platinum records to his credentials and you have a very impressive performance. See the Wikipedia link for more details.
The show seemed to be a multitude of parodies in addition to the music. Engelbert poked fun at himself as well as other entertainers. The show began with a video of Eddie Izzard who riffs on the stage name chosen by Engelbert when his real name, Gerry Dorsey, would have been so much simpler to use. After the video, Engelbert appeared on stage and started singing "Welcome To My World". Even though a few of the high notes were a bit of a reach, his voice is still good.
The video restarted after Mr. Humperdinck sang six songs. This time it was footage from his appearance on the Dean Martin variety show in 1970. Dean Martin reportedly gave Humperdinck his first big break in show business. He did a credible imitation of Martin after the clip. This led to the drinking joke: "I don't drink as a rule, more as a habit". He poked fun of Tom Jones by imitating Jones' "It's Not Unusual" and stuffing handkerchiefs down his pants. He did a cheesy Willie Nelson imitation as well. Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" was given an exaggerated country twang.
Humperdinck spent a good portion of the show plugging his forthcoming album, "Engelbert Calling". The album consists of some 22 duets, each song with a different artist. He sang the duet with Sir Elton John, "Something About The Way You Look Tonight", with John's lines via CD playback. Other artists on the album include Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson, Cliff Richard, Kenny Rogers and many more. The cd has been a two-year project, thus far.
The audience was predominantly an older crowd. At the end of the show several women flocked to the edge of the stage. They were rewarded with a handshake from Mr. Humperdinck as he finished the 90-minute show. For the set list, click here.

Atom and LDAP sitting in a tree...
By treydrake on May 25, 2007
- Finally, there's a directory server that is lightweight, very fast (read AND write), and developer friendly - OpenDS
- The APP spec appears to be close to completion
- Facilities for search and user authorization are noticeably absent from the APP spec (that's a good thing)
- DSML (LDAP over XML) is deader than a doornail
- Think "syndicated databases"; i.e., databases queried, edited and generally mangled via feeds. I know I'm not the only one thinking about it (checkout Google GBase and Yahoo Pipes).
Atom, APP, and OpenDS
- Atom is a simple, extensible specification that describes lists of related information. In its simplest form it is no more than a blog feed.
- APP is a web-based protocol for publishing, editing and retrieving web resources; e.g., Atom documents, xhtml, images, podcast episodes, et al. APP relies on tried and true HTTP and ReST interfaces gaining it a distinct advantage over previous attempts. That is, a widely deployed infrastructure, simple to grok, and relatively simple server and client side implementations.
- OpenDS is an open source, 100% Java directory service
Why is an OpenDS based Atom server interesting?
- I have yet to see an Atom/APP implementation application that is identity aware. That is, a server that has intrinsic user knowledge with regards to roles, authorization, authentication mechanisms and user relationships
- Most certainly not file based. Resources posted and fetched are stored in the directory thus enabling synchronization, access control, search, etc.
- Powerful, ReST search based on LDAP Urls
- Built on a scalable architecture. Back-ended by OpenDS, front-ended by Glassfish application server, and written atop Java
What can you do with it?
- "Web 2.0" enable your directory. Atom is easily parsed within a web browser and for that matter any other HTTP agent. Therefore, access to the info rich directory is more accessible to external applications and more easily programmed by the neophyte LDAP developer.
- Centrally secure, replicate, and backup Atom documents;e.g., blogs in the directory
- Re-use existing infrastructure and expertise (directory server) to store next gen web content, again, in a secure, scalable fashion
- Monitor the directory through feeds. A simple search on the OpenDS monitor (/atom/search?q=cn=monitor??sub?) dumps a feed of all significant directory statistics

If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast
A decade ago, lumpectomy with radiation was the usual treatment. Now an increasing number of women who are diagnosed with cancer in one breast are choosing to have both removed—the healthy one along with the cancerous one. In the largest study to date, published in 2007, researchers at the University of Minnesota looked at more than 150,000 women with cancer in one breast and found that over the six years of the study, the rate of double mastectomy nearly tripled, from 4 percent to 11 percent. In 2010, researchers at the MD Anderson Cancer Center confirmed the trend: In the span of seven years, the percentage of women with cancer who opted to have a double mastectomy shot from 7 percent to 14 percent, and most of those who underwent the procedure didn't have a known genetic pre-disposition to the disease.
Among women with DCIS, a noninvasive condition in which abnormal cells are confined to the milk ducts, double mastectomy has increased to almost 20 percent—a rate that is too high, says Todd Tuttle, MD, chief of surgical oncology at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "The 10-year risk of getting DCIS or invasive cancer in the healthy breast is low—about 5 percent," Tuttle says.
[Related: "I Could Not Live with the Worry That My Stage-0 Cancer Would Recur."]
Why are so many women opting for preventive surgery? "Women who've been diagnosed with breast cancer are worried about having to go through the experience again down the road, and double mastectomy seems like the safest way to prevent a repeat bout," Litton says. But this drastic surgery may not be the most appropriate path, given its low benefits. For one thing, the chance of getting cancer in the unaffected breast is far lower than most patients believe. In a University of Minnesota survey, women who had cancer in one breast put their odds of getting cancer in the unaffected breast at over 30 percent. The actual risk? Four to 5 percent, says Tuttle, the study's lead author. Another recent survey of breast-cancer survivors who opted for double mastectomy found that 94 percent made the choice partly to improve their chances of survival. "The trouble is, having a healthy breast removed doesn't improve your survival rate one bit," says Tuttle, who has done research on these outcomes.
"Breast cancer doesn't usually develop in the other breast," he explains. "It spreads to the lungs or liver or bones or brain. Having a double mastectomy doesn't affect those more likely problems at all. Most women could be as effectively treated with lumpectomy and radiation." That approach might leave some women with lingering anxiety, acknowledges Dianne Shumay, PhD, associate director of psycho-oncology at the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center in San Francisco. "Fear and worry don't respond to logical argument—and our research has shown that there's not a linear relationship between level of risk and amount of anxiety," she says.
[Related: "I was battling an aggressive cancer."]
The aftermath of surgery
What are the pros and cons of surgery? "On the plus side, mastectomy and reconstruction techniques have improved—and it's easier to create symmetrical breasts if you do both sides at the same time," says Attai. "Many of my patients voice concern about the symmetry issue."
The minuses: The surgery is major—most women can't return to work for six to eight weeks. Reconstruction, if performed, brings a host of potential complications, including infection, leaky implants and capsular contracture, a condition in which the tissue around the implant becomes hard and painful. "I tell patients they have a 40 to 50 percent chance of needing a -follow-up operation," says Attai.

Calling up-and-coming filmmakers; film, communications and food studies students — and anyone hungry for a deeper understanding of the nation's food system. A new film competition seeking short films about sustainable food and farming — the Real Food Media Contest — opens for entries today
The contest invites aspiring filmmakers, or teams of food changemakers alongside communicators, to create a 30-second to four-minute films in one of four styles: documentary, advocacy, experimental, or "wildcard." Entries must be submitted by 9 p.m. EST on February 3, 2014. A star-studded panel of judges will select the top film — and the public can also vote online beginning Wed., February 12. Winners will be announced on March 4, 2014.
Cash prizes will be given to the best 10 films and the audience choice winner, including a $5,000 grand prize and a chance for a screening at the Food and Farm Film Festival in San Francisco in April 2014.
For documentaries, an entrant can choose among various options, including profiling a local food hero or showcasing an effective sustainable food project. In the advocacy category, entrants can choose to create a persuasive piece focused on several sustainability themes. In the experimental category, entrants can choose to bring to life the concept "the hands that feed us." Wildcard entrants can shine a light on sustainable food and farming in any manner they choose — funny, serious, or artsy. For more information on each of the categories, visit www.realfoodmedia.org.
The contest, directed by award-winning author and sustainability advocate Anna Lappé, is an initiative of the Real Food Media Project and an extension of the highly regarded Food MythBusters series, viewable at www.foodmyths.org.
"This contest gives an opportunity for filmmakers to generate powerful storytelling about food, farming, and sustainability," says Anna Lappé, director of the Real Food Media Project. "The more great minds we have thinking about these issues and producing creative ways to deliver the messages, the better."
"This contest is a great opportunity to support the food movement and independent filmmaking. The two are a perfect fit," says Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and a contest judge.
"There's incredible interest today in where our food comes from and how it is produced— and this generation has so much to say about it. The contest provides a great platform for original voices that can help make a change by delivering this increasingly important information," says journalist Michael Pollan, another contest judge.
The Real Food Media Project is a collaborative initiative to spread the story of our food with creative films, an online film contest, a web-based action center, and grassroots events. Visit www.realfoodmedia.org to learn more about the project and to enter the competition.

February doesn't have to be overshadowed by the cold, snow, and darkness. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate in February -- the Super Bowl, Valentine's Day, and especially Fat Tuesday!
Fat Tuesday is a bit of a stranger to the Midwest. It's not often that you'll find a fancy restaurant offering intimate dinners and bottles of champagne for this holiday, but when activities are planned, it's a great excuse to go all out. You don't have to fly down to New Orleans to enjoy Fat Tuesday in style, though.
Pheasant Run Resort in Saint Charles is the perfect location for a Fat Tuesday celebration due to its own small replica of Bourbon Street. On the special day itself, a number of fantastic events are planned. Try an authentic Beignet on Bourbon Street and then step inside Jambalaya restaurant for specials on the famous hurricane drinks in souvenir glasses. The live soundtrack of the evening will be provided by Chi-Town Dixie Stomper Trio and Steamin' Barracudas.
The Fat Tuesday events at Pheasant Run Resort will last from 5:00pm until 11:00pm and there is no admission or cover charge.
Should you wish to book one of Pheasant Run's lavish rooms for the evening, contact them at 1-800-4-PHEASANT or visit their website: www.pheasantrun.com/

Dental Care
In a 2000 report on oral health, the Surgeon General identified dental caries (tooth decay) as the single most common chronic disease among children in the United States. This is a preventable health problem that can significantly affect children's health, ability to concentrate in school, and quality of life, and is more common among children in low-income families. To promote good oral hygiene, the American Dental Association recommends that children have their first dental checkup within 6 months of the eruption of their first tooth and 12 months of age. During Federal Fiscal Year 2005, only 27.6 percent of children eligible for services under the Medicaid Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program received preventive dental service.
In 2005, 72.6 percent of children aged 1–18 years had seen a dentist in the past year. Frequency of dental visits among children varies by family income and race/ethnicity. Children with family incomes of 200 percent or more of the poverty level were more likely to have seen a dentist in the past year than children living with family incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level (78.2 versus 63.8 percent).
Non-Hispanic White children between the ages of 1 and 18 years were most likely to have visited a dentist or other dental specialist within the past year (76.5 percent), while Hispanic children were least likely (63.0 percent). Approximately 70 percent of both non-Hispanic Black children and children of other races (including Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native and those of multiple races) visited a dentist in the past year (data not shown).

Houma mother loves creating original recipes
Published: Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 2:47 p.m.
HOUMA — Trenace Valentine, 37, of Houma, loves to create original recipes.
Mardi Gras Lasagna
1/2 stick butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 cup diced andouille sausage
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 medium jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
1 cup Louisiana shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 cup Louisiana crabmeat
1 cup Louisiana crawfish, optional
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 ounce dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chilies
9 pre-cooked lasagna noodles
8-ounce package shredded Mexican cheese blend
8-ounce package shredded mozzarella cheese
8-ounce package shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt margarine in a large saucepan on medium heat. Sauté onion, green onion and garlic for three to five minutes. Add andouille sausage, cooking for two minutes. Add the green, orange, red and yellow bell peppers; then add the jalapeño pepper. Allow peppers to cook for an additional two minutes.
Add in shrimp, crabmeat and optional crawfish; season with cayenne pepper and black pepper. After cooking for two to three minutes, add dry white wine. Simmer for one to two minutes.
Add heavy whipping cream, cream cheese, diced tomatoes and green chilies. Reduce until cream is thick and of a sauce-like consistency, approximately five minutes. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on the bottom of the pan, and spread with one-third of mixture, one-third Mexican blend cheese, one-third mozzarella cheese and one-third of Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers two
more times ending with cheese on top.
Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until top is bubbly and golden brown, 10-15 minutes.
Makes eight servings.
The Medicaid analyst, who is married with two children, has been cooking since she was 15.
"My sister and I were always competing against each other," Valentine said. "We would always try to out-do each other's recipes or maybe an old recipe that we would just give our own touch on or flavor to."
Valentine's family would judge the success.
"My original recipes usually stem from another recipe, I will usually think, 'Oh, this will be good,' and I will just try it out for myself and make a little portion, and if I like the taste, I will add onto it," Valentine said. "We are so used to spaghetti one way, I might flip it and try something different with a red sauce or a white sauce. I just like to try different things and turn a traditional dish into something different that no one has ever had."
Valentine's creativity paid off this past February, when she placed third in the Seafood division of The Courier and Daily Comet's 35th-annual Bayou Gourmet Cook-Off with her Mardi Gras Lasagna.
Valentine, whose favorite kitchen gadget is a bistro oven, most likes to cook with some type of Louisiana seafood, white wine and whipping cream.
"I really like the seafood dishes that she cooks all the time," said her husband, Travis Valentine, 38, of Houma. "They have a real spicy taste to them, not too much, but just right. The way she prepares her food, so that it is actually set up like a dish that you would be served in a real nice restaurant."
Perhaps as a holdover from days of family competition, the cook also likes to keep many of her recipes secrets.
"It is my special little treat that we will have throughout the year, and you can't get it from anywhere else but me," Trenace Valentine said.
The Houma native typically cooks four to five times per week and has been encouraged by watching cooking shows and professional chefs such as Paula Deen, Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse.
"I tell her all the time, 'Just make a plain dish, you don't have to do nothing real fancy or nothing,' but she says that she actually likes to create the dish where the scenery is there," Travis Valentine said.
In addition to creativity, the chef believes in patience and passion.
"It is important to put your heart into it," she said. "You have to enjoy cooking."
Trenace Valentine has been a finalist in the Bayou Gourmet Cook-Off for the past four years.
"She just really takes pride in it, and she really takes pride in the way it looks and tastes," her husband said. "Orientation is one of her biggest things, she wants to make sure the orientation is there."
