Some 23 years after releasing their first album, New Kids on the Block have made quite the comeback with a new number one single and reunion tour ... and now they can add a sold-out cruise to the list.
Carnival Cruise Lines hosted the band and more than 2,100 fans onboard Carnival Imagination's three-day Bahamas cruise, which departed Miami on Friday and returned earlier today. Not surprisingly, screaming female fans were among the majority, with about 1,800 women onboard and 300 men, according to Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen.
The concert cruise kicked off the group's North American reunion tour, which will run through July in the U.S. and Canada, and featured onboard concerts, opportunities to meet the band and -- rumor (on Twitter) has it -- a butter sculpture of Jordan Knight in honor of his birthday.
The sold-out sailing was obviously a hit among fans, but Carnival must be waving its Zippo lighter as well. The NKOTB cruise was one of the most popular theme trips the line has ever chartered, according to Gulliksen, who tells us the cruise was in such high demand that online booking requests actually "crashed the server from what I understand."
So, is there going to be another NKOTB cruise next year? Could be: @NKOTB posted the following on Twitter today: "Back in Miami. What a cruise best fans ever. 2010 save the date." However, there's nothing concrete in place just yet. "The band did ask the crowd if they wanted to do this again -- to much applause -- but that's about as far as it went in terms of scheduling another one," Gulliksen says. "That said, nothing is planned at this time...."
We'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, are there other teen idols you'd love to cruise with? There's still time to vote in our poll!

If Miami needs a little extra motivation to get the job done this weekend, they can rally around the fact that NO ONE thinks they can win this game. Okay, maybe a few random reporters think its possible, but even they concede it will be close.
A lot of them cite Baltimore's dominating defense, or their 8-2 run after meeting Miami. But, didn't Miami go 9-1, and have a streak of 4 games where they didn't allow a TD? And Miami has found a way to win each and every week since (with the exception of New England where the Pats were just throwing it up to Moss time and again and using the ref's non-calls in their favor; still Miami stayed in the game until there were just a couple of minutes left)

We were wondering what to wear to the next polo match we were invited to... This Gatsby Lace Top ($154 on sale) rocks feminine lace detail and demure cream silk. We think it would pair marvelously with a sleek pencil skirt and ladylike heels, or tough it up with skinnies and boots. However you wear it, it's loooovely.

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Newsroom
Message from the Dean
Dear Colleagues:
"How to Efficiently Access the Latest Information Applicable to Your Clinical Practice"
The MUSC ARROW Initiative (formerly the Women Scholars Initiative) will be sponsoring a workshop on "How to Efficiently Access the Latest Information Applicable to Your Clinical Practice" on May 29, 3:00-5:00 p.m., in Room 110 Drug Discovery Building. Objectives of this event will include learning strategies and techniques from experienced Library Science and Informatics faculty on how to integrate current information into clinical decision-making. Those faculty interested in attending should RSVP to Megan McDonough (email@example.com) by May 9. (Back to top)
Congratulations to Rebecca Knackstedt
College of Medicine student Rebecca Knackstedt was recently notified of her selection by the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research and the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion for the 2014 Paul Ambrose Scholars Program. The Paul Ambrose Scholars Program is designed to prepare clinical health professions students to address population health challenges at the national and community level, and provides mini-grants to implement a Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators project within a student's community or academic institution. Please join me in congratulating Rebecca on her selection for this program. (Back to top)
Employee Commitment/Satisfaction Survey Results
Last week, I shared with you a copy of the College of Medicine Executive Overview presentation related to our employee commitment/satisfaction survey. Unit-specific results have been made available to leaders and managers within the College; I encourage those leaders and managers to share the survey results for their respective units with their employees, and to use this as an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments and improvements over the past year and to implement changes where needed.
I'm pleased to now share with you a copy of the Enterprise-wide Executive Overview for MUSC Health – College of Medicine, MUSC Physicians, and MUHA. That document is available at https://sp.musc.edu/com/discuss/general/default.aspx. One of the survey results that is most encouraging from my perspective is that while the National Healthcare average for employee engagement is trending down (down 0.04 points from last year) the MUSC Health average for employee engagement increased a total of 0.11 points from last year. This is an impressive accomplishment that results from the outstanding commitment and dedication of our employees. Together, we can continue to improve for the benefit of all who work at MUSC and those we serve. (Back to top)

Graduation Week Activities
We are looking forward to the festivities that graduation week will bring. One of the most important commencement week events for the College of Medicine is the oath ceremony – this is the occasion when our graduates take the Hippocratic Oath and are "hooded" with their academic hoods. The Oath Ceremony is scheduled for May 15, 6:00 p.m., at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. Members of the College are welcome to attend the oath ceremony, and I would especially like to encourage members of the faculty to participate in this important occasion. Other activities during graduation week include the Pearls Lecture, the Student Awards Ceremony and the Senior Ball, all of which take place on May 14. And, of course, commencement itself takes place on May 16, at 9:00 a.m. at the Citadel. More information about these upcoming activities can be found at http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/com/stu_affairs/events_activ/Graduation_Week_2014.pdf.
MUSC YES Campaign
The MUSC YES (Yearly Employee Support) Campaign is now underway, with a goal of raising $300,000 in support of the 1,300 funds within the MUSC Foundation. Employees can direct their donations to support the fund(s) that matter the most to them personally; payment options include payroll deduction, checks, credit cards, planned gifts or gifts of stock. For more information on the YES Campaign, please contact Whitney McLuen at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit https://giving.musc.edu/yes/.

Discussion Forums
As a reminder, we have electronic discussion platforms focusing on various aspects of our mission. These forums are intended to serve several purposes. First, they are another way for my office to share important information with faculty, staff, and students. Second, they are meant to encourage discussion about issues within the college and to empower everyone within the college to voice their opinions. These "discussion forums" are intended to be not only channels for messages to be sent out, but channels for YOUR ideas, comments and questions to be heard by college leadership. Your voice matters and we are pleased there is a new way for it to be heard. You can access these forums by using the following links and your net ID and password:
As always....
Let's work together to meet our strategic planning goal - to be in the Top 25 among academic medical centers for reputation, quality, service, efficiency and financial performance by 2015 – and to continue excellence in our research and education missions. I look forward to hearing from you - either in person or via email.

text: May 25, 2014 22:57 Second person died after single-vehicle crashed on I-10 Friday Second person died after single-vehicle crashed on I-10 Friday Advocate staff report May 24, 2014; 4:02 p.m. Comments A Gonzales woman died Friday from injuries sustained in an early morning crash on Interstate 10 that killed the only other person in the SUV, State Police said. Karen Matherne, 50, died sometime after the Cadillac SRX she was riding in broke through a guardrail, crashed into Bayou Manchac and sank, said Trooper 1st Class Jared Sandifer, a State Police spokesman. The driver of the SUV, Armand M. Marchand IV, died at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center earlier in the day. Sandifer said he wasn't sure if Marchand or Matherne died from injuries suffered in the crash or if either of them drowned. He added that a doctor would have to determine the causes of their deaths. The crash happened about 12:30 a.m. May 23 on I-10 east of La. 42, also known as Highland Road. Troopers believe excessive speed was a factor in the crash, Sandifer said. Marchand was wearing a seat belt during the crash, and investigators did not know whether Matherne was restrained in the crash, Sandifer said. Both Marchand and Matherne were pulled from the mostly submerged wreckage by firefighters with the St. George Fire Department, Sandifer said. Both were then taken to the hospital. However, police did not initially release the fact that Matherne was injured in the crash. Troopers submitted toxicology samples to lab analysts in an effort to determine whether impairment was a factor in the crash, Sandifer said. A total of four people, including Marchand and Matherne, have died in three crashes in East Baton Rouge Parish since Friday, authorities reported. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Arizona's two Republican Senators tweeted messages urging the governor to veto the discriminatory legislation. Both John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) tweeted almost the same phrasing of, "I hope Governor Brewer will veto #SB1062." Four Arizonian Democrats in the House have also spoken out against the controversial bill including Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), the only openly bisexual member of Congress, who tweeted in response to Flake, "Agreed."
The GOP is really trying to distance itself from the extreme right, but some people aren't getting the hint. You'd think if Arizona's two conservative Senators were against the bill then it's probably dead-on-arrival at the governor's desk. You'd be wrong. Governor Brewer is apparently not sure what she wants to do, or at least not sure which type of media exposure she wants, yet.
"You know, the bill is in transmittal and I don't have to make a decision until next Friday so I've got plenty of time," she said at the National Governor's Association meeting when asked by reporters. "I need to explore it."
Hopefully the combination of media fury and national-level GOP officials wanting it to go away will become too much for her soon. Until then, you can be sure the ACLU is on standby.

Four campus students attend black leadership conference; McBean recognized
Four students from Penn State New Kensington attended the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education, Nov. 2-4, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Junior Hanna McBean, sophomore Shahara Seimah and freshmen Diamond Barnett and Jevon Hankins were a part of a 350-student contingent that participated in the three-day annual event. The conference helps students develop leadership skills in addition to pursing their educational and career goals.
McBean was recognized at the conference as one of five students selected for the Outstanding Student award. An adult student in the four-year organizational leadership program, McBean is the 2012 recipient of the Black Conference's K. Leroy Irvis Undergraduate Scholarship. The organization awarded $9,000 in scholarships to nine African-American students from institutions from across the commonwealth.
"I would like have my own corporation that offers extensive outreach to underprivileged youth and others facing difficult situations in life," said McBean, who lives in New Kensington with her husband and their six children.
The Black Conference comprises professionals from the public and private sectors--education, business, social services, law and government--who are committed to improving and ensuring the education of blacks and other underrepresented groups at Pennsylvania colleges and universities.

Now in the modern days, the phrase "lets settle this like men" would imply a fist fight. Yet as little as 200 years ago, "settling it like men" would either involve swords or pistols; the fist was the tool of the peasants and the lower class. When and how did it become socially unacceptable to use weapons to 'settle' accounts?
France seems to hung on to the tradition longer than other places. It was still occurring in France with regularity before ww1. Perhaps it the slaughter of ww1 brought about the sharp decline after the war.
Georges Clemenceau french leader during war fought duels 1892,duelled the author and Boulangist Paul Déroulède with pistols.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel#Decline The last duel in France took place in 1967 when Gaston Defferre insulted René Ribière (fr) at the French parliament and was subsequently challenged to a duel fought with swords.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_duels#French_duels February 1897: Marcel Proust fought journalist Jean Lorrain, after Lorrain published an excoriating review of Proust's first book "Pleasures and Days" and hinted that Proust was having an affair with Madame Alphonse Daudet's son, Lucien.

Amour Angels Site Facts
Amour Angels Review
At the time of my visit to Amour Angels the website has been online for nine years. Over the years not a lot has changed in terms of their focus and interests. They have maintained a fixed obsession for beautiful, nubile girls 18+ from all over Europe that are eager to show off their beautiful and slender bodies for the camera. The girls are all amateurs, often first times, and mostly shaved. They will take off all of their clothes in the course of a scene, and go so far as to allow closeups of their spread legs and ass cheeks.
Each gallery and video has a some sort of theme, usually tied in to the setting and wardrobe of the model. Take for example a set called 'Modest' starring Savine. She has her hair in pig tails, her petite tanned body nude and shyly coiled on a beige bed spread, a huge fluffy teddy bear near by. She looks to be in her early twenties, but is being playful about her age. In other sets the girls just pose in interest places, totally naked, and look amazing. The cameramen manage to take some really amazing pictures of the action.
I counted a total of 309 movies in the library at the time of my visit. Each of the videos ran ~15 minutes long each. You can download them in gorgeous 720p high definition Windows Media files or in DivX files that are also HD. The other option for viewing the movie include 1-minute long clip downloads. There were no streaming video options. I felt that more media options are really needed here.
The picture galleries numbered 11,000 and were pretty much perfect. The images are all high resolution and very large. You can browse through them in online galleries or save them in easy to grab Zip files that are provided with every set. Most galleries average ~90 images each.
All of the content at Amour Angels is totally exclusive and unique. They have a nice search function that lets you look up specific models or look up girls or action based on characteristics like the girls breast size or hair color. You also have access to galleries from the 'Amour GFs' collection which are amateur, homemade pics as well as the Teen Art Club.
Amour Angels is a solid site for surfers after hot 18-21 year old models in full, softcore nude spreads. The content is good erotica and artistic, the girls are very beautiful, and the media options are high quality, though limited in type. With regular updates to their large library, it's a solid option.

I love doing my nails! Trust me, I also love a professional mani in a salon as much as the next girl, but there is something so calming about sitting at home, watching TV and painting away...
From all this practice I actually can say that I have gotten pretty good! But when it comes to nail art, eh I just can't seem to do it. Thankfully Hot Designs™ contacted me about testing out their 2-in-1 Nail Art Pens which launched this month.
So last night, I gave it a whirl - and tried my own Valentine's Day themed manicure!
New Hot Designs™ 2-in-1 Nail Art Pens are fine tip pens and nail polish in one. So on one side you can paint on the color with a regular nail polish brush, where as the other side is a metal point which pushes out polish with the squeeze of the pen. The makers advocate the easy creation of painted polka dots, flowers, chevron patterns, etc. Each set comes with six vibrant colors, a brush for polishing, and a full size precise tip for drawing.
But what about hearts...
I was lucky enough to try out both sets each retailing at $14.99:
- Basic Beauty: Midnight Black/Royal Blue, Kelly Green/Red Flame, Hot Pink/Star White
- Glitz & Glam: Sparkling Silver/Paradise Pink, Purple Pizzazz/Lemon Yellow, Crushed Berry/Hot Orange
To be honest, I was having no luck what-so-ever painting my nails, letting them dry and then trying to do nail art. I'm just not that savvy. But -- I found a way to use the pens that was unique, creative and worked for me 100%! I would paint on the polish that my whole nail was going to be - then while it was still wet, use the nail art pen to marble the design. Yes - just like you would on a cake! From there on out it was super easy to make fun marbled designs like a (my goal) a cute Valentine's Day heart.
Need an incentive to try it...
Going on now, Hot Designs will be hosting a 4-week Facebook sweepstakes beginning on January 20. In the Glammy Awards sweepstakes, fans can upload a picture of their best nails for a chance to win a package of Hot Designs daily, and vie for a chance at the grand prize of a $1,000 American Express gift card! Like us on Facebook for your chance to win and follow the hashtag #HOTnotd

There are so many grievous wrongs in our world, being perpetrated at this very moment, it can overwhelm even the best and strongest conscience. What to do? What to address? What to speak out about? What to let go, because one individual simply cannot respond to all of it?
These are not easy questions and they are ones I continue to ask of my own conscience.
This blog is meant to be a vehicle for the kind of inspiration that can support the activating and the further awakening of human freedom and the creative spirit that lives in all of us. I believe that it is only with a healthy, resilient, and vibrant creative spirit, alive in many many individuals, that we can hope for any real healing of social and global problems. I seek a moveable focus in my writing, and do not intend to narrow that to any sort of activism as it is curently defined.
However, the ongoing situation at Guantanamo Cuba, and my nation's continuing imprisonment and torture of individuals whose crimes are unproven at best, cries out for attention. When the hunger strike began, my own soul began to cry out for a remedy for these prisoners. This situation is wrong and must not continue unopposed. Forcefeeding is torture. Torture is wrong.
A friend of mine has begun a blog in order to speak out about these egregious human rights violations being perpetrated in our names. That blog is in my list of blog friends at the bottom of these pages, but here is the direct link to First They Came For The Communists. I encourage you to read and share her first articles, as they give a crystal clear background and picture of what is being done in our names and which I cannot hold silent about here.
One of the purposes of the mind controlling procedures and intrusions I've been speaking to is to turn our awareness away from these difficult situations so as to allow them to go on without objection or interference of human conscience.
I would like to share here this short quote from the recent Popular Science article The Deadly Science of Forcefeeding:
"There are a lot of potential complications, including pneumonia and respiratory failure," Justin Sewell, an assistant clinical professor at the UCSF School of Medicine, says.
Such complications are rare. Nevertheless, at least three major medical associations consider force-feeding a violation of international medical ethics. Yet of the 166 detainees at Guantanamo Bay--106 of whom are on hunger strike to protest prison conditions--45 are currently being force-fed. Four of those detainees are protesting the continuation of the procedure into Ramadan.
What is happening in Guantanamo is wrong. May enough voices be raised against it that this toxic sickness of inhumanity spreads no further, and ceases to be.

Coming Soon: Gavin Kaysen Opens Another Restaurant
Introducing: RC's BBQ at the MN State Fair
By: Andrew Zimmern | Posted: 11/21/2012
If you thought the Fieri review that Pete Wells published in The New York Times last Wednesday was rough, check out these beauties from the NYT archive courtesy of Buzzfeed. The Wells review link is at the bottom of the stack. I remember several reviews I wrote with particular glee, a perverse schadenfreude that comes from the divine intersection of doing your job properly and being able to really sharpen the knives to an appropriate edge. It's rarely the case. If I am reviewing a restaurant and have a bad experience I simply say nothing—most of the time. A restaurant I never talk about is probably a clue that I have a) never gone or b) it's awful. Sometimes both. I can recall several reviews by David Fhima that I treasured for the level of snark in the prose. Same with a North Coast review, and another about the bozo who opened two restaurants (one in the old Goodfellows space, the other in a mall) and told everyone he was the second coming of Danny Meyer. Come to think of it, his chef was the same one who was coking at North Coast when I trashed it. I forget his name but the food at both places was just terrible. There was the one about an old restaurant at the Hilton called Skywater that my editor wouldn't publish if my memory serves me right. That was one of the worse meals I have ever eaten in this town.
But my rule of thumb is pretty standard: If you are spending a year in the press telling us all how good you are and how amazing your food is, or if you insist on being 'in the game,' guess what, you're in. I don't savage small little humble boites. Ever. What's the point? I would rather recommend places than tell you not to go . . . but sometimes a place is so big, so talked about, I feel obligated to tell you to save your money. My opinion on the Wells piece is big enough to write about in our magazine, but suffice to say I think Guy Fieri is as follows:
A good guy that I like and I spend time with when we are in same place for more than five minutes. We have each other's numbers, we talk, and we are friends. When he was in Minneapolis last time, we hung out and I shot a Triple D with him at Lola. He is misunderstood. This man won a contest on Food Network with his Kewl, on point, big bowl of awesome 'tude and his number got called. The Faustian bargain went down and he became the Lambo driving rock star with a gazillion dollar empire. All of that was his choice, I am aware of that; believe me, and he is, in a perverse way, a victim of his own mega success. He can't turn that off or turn the volume down because his fans would have a shit-fit. And his fans are not mine or Bourdain's or a lot of other peoples. His fans don't read the arcane food blogs, don't know who David Chang or Fred Morin or Seamus Mullen or Fergus Henderson are. They don't care about the new boom in artisanal domestic ryes or have a food crush on the Food 52 ladies. They want Donkey Sauce.
Guy has a huge heart and has done a ton of good with Triple D for the little eateries around the USA who we would otherwise never hear about. He is a devoted husband and dad and generous to a fault. And he is big enough to laugh at the Wells review in the best sense of the word. But there is something very serious about that review. It's brilliant on several levels. If you open a big restaurant in the middle of the biggest food town in the world, and you are the biggest commercial food star in America, then you are calling for everyone to take their best shot. Wells had to review the place. It's culturally imperative. The crowds flocking to Guy's place despite the awful fare (I have not eaten there, but about 20 friends of mine have and not a single person enjoyed it) are an important part of the story, and with all of Guy's reach and the size of his deals, I am shocked he didn't make the food sing. His menu isn't my cup of tea, but making a loaded burger taste good isn't an impossible task! The best revenge would be for him to take the next month or two and polish that baby till it's shiny. Then invite Wells to lunch.

Cant say i'm a masive fan of aphex twin music, but the few music videos of there's that i have seen like Come to daddy, windowlicker and rubber johnny have been awsome. I saw the come to daddy video many years ago, the part where the demon comes out the tv and starts screaming in the granny's face had me crying with laughter.
12-19-2008, 09:19
that was disturbing
Can't be disturbing who would seriously write a song about wanting somebodies soul? So how can you take it seriously enough to be disturbed. I'm really shocked a techno band would talk about wanting a persons sacred 'soul'. I mean what is a soul someones personality, someone's 'self' or is it a magic battery. Retarded all around imo.

That doesn't deserve to exist. Things like this convince me there can be no god... because if he did exist he would strike this down before it came to be.

I've seen Aphex live a few times... he does some really crazy stuff.
I've heard that he once put sandpaper on his turntables, and a microphone into a blender.

I don't care what you say, Aphex Twin (Richard D. James) Is the greatest musician ever.
I own every album every song. The only person I would go gay for.

Ohh and Aphex greatest right here.

What's w/ the random smash-head video posts?
12-19-2008, 23:29
No music, just noise.
i dont like rap or country music, but those genres have musical structure no matter what my personal taste is. aphex twin has massive talent and this is definitely music , even if you dont like it. unless you just watched the first 30 seconds and then closed the window... the actual song starts about half way through the video, the first half is just sound effects, then the song starts.
12-19-2008, 23:32
that was disturbing
I came to the thread the same reason you did.
12-19-2008, 23:35
the actual song starts about half way through the video, the first half is just sound effects, then the song starts.
It takes a lot of talent to make half of your song noise, and then still call it a song imo.

Aphex Twin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwe10iDlFQo) is the shit. So is Venetian Snares (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg52OSGmg7g).
Both are very good at glitchy drum and bass (breakcore, etc.)

Aphex Twin?
More like Aphex Win, amirite?
I find his videos funny. I don't get how anyone is disturbed by them.
12-20-2008, 01:10
I think I died a little inside after watching that video...
12-20-2008, 01:15
Richard D James is really one of the greatest musicians alive. Some of his music is like a train hitting a mountain of dishes, and other times like the love of your life humming into your ear. His music is very emotional, which is pretty are for music in current times. Whoever got to see him live I am very envious of you, I would DO ANYTHING to see him live.

Our Partners. The secret of our success.
If you've ever stepped through the doors of John Lewis or Waitrose, shopped online, or watched anything on our YouTube channels, as our customers know only too well… there's something different about us. But if you try to define what that 'difference' might be, it's not always instantly apparent. Is it the quality and carefully-selected variety of our products? Is it down to our inspirational displays? Perhaps it's our innovation of products? Or is it our award-winning customer service?
Actually, it's simpler than that. It's our Partners. As co-owners they have a say in our business, so they put time and effort into making it work. And because they're committed to making our customers happy, we try and ensure we put their happiness at work first too. Tailored training and development, market-leading benefits and a share in our profits all form part of that. It's why our Partners enjoy working here and why we're the success we are.
So wherever you join – John Lewis, Waitrose or our Head Office – and in whatever role, you can feel confident that we're investing in your future. Because we'll expect you to invest in ours.
Follow us on LinkedIn:

The email asks candidates if they would like a job and is asking for money to pay for a CRB check. The email address is a @gmail format.
If you receive one of these emails please be assured it is not from the John Lewis Partnership.
Please only respond to emails through the candidate communication centre
The Partnership will never ask for monies to be paid as part of our recruitment process

Samsung tweets Galaxy S4 teaser image
Sometimes I wonder why they even bother. On the other hand, why not.
I'm talking about Samsung's teaser campaign for the Galaxy S4 launch on Thursday.
Sammy and its Galaxy flagships have become such an important part of smartphone market, that every burp they make will be widely covered by tech sites like ours, no matter how insignificant it is. Then gadget enthusiasts will gladly chat it up and the buzz will build. And, maybe, some of it will even spill mainstream.
The latest SGS4 teaser comes from Samsung Mobile US Twitter account:
It, probably, shows the top, darkish outline of SGS4. Although it looks so much like the current Samsung's Galaxy S3 flagship, that it it makes me think Sammy's social marketing people may be just having some fun at our expense.
But it doesn't matter much. While most of the specs of the upcoming device has already leaked, Samsung did an amazing job keeping the actual images of the Galaxy S4 from getting out. So any visual clues are welcome, and helps Sammy to create an almost Apple/iPhone level of anticipation before launch.

Tony Romo is coming off surgery that will limit him in the 2014 NFL preseason for the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, Romo is in no danger of losing his job and missing games will just allow backup Brandon Weeden to become more comfortable with the Cowboys' offensive game plan. However, ESPN reported on Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys' quarterback coach Wade Wilson said that Tony Romo is still tentative when throwing the deep ball in practice.
One thing to keep in mind about this statement is that Tony Romo is not a quarterback who throws the long ball too much. Instead, he has the same gunslinger mentality that Brett Favre had and is better known for his quick, bullet-fast release. Despite this, he has to throw deep because he has speedsters like Terrance Williams, who is perfect at breaking loose and getting open. According to Wilson, those deep balls have fluttered more than usual.
Wilson said that the fluttering of the Tony Romo deep pass is due to the back surgery that the quarterback underwent in the NFL offseason. Romo is still recovering from that surgery. He will be ready to open the 2014 NFL regular season, but won't play much this preseason. Romo won't play at all in the Dallas Cowboys' preseason opener on Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers.
When asked about his passing problems so far, Tony Romo said that his footwork was an issue. Luckily, Wade Wilson, a former NFL veteran quarterback, said that he is sure that Romo's arm problems won't plague him in the regular season. Wilson said that Romo just needs to get stronger and more confident and that will happen through training camp. Until then, Brandon Weeden will get most of the first team reps.
The Dallas Cowboys open their preseason against the San Diego Chargers in San Diego. The game kicks off at 9:00 p.m. CST and will air nationwide on the NFL Network and locally on CBS 11.

Blood from young, spry and healthy mice has proved to have an age-reversing effect on older mice, say researchers from Harvard University. In three separate studies from Harvard and the University of California, San Francisco, and published in Science and Nature Medicine, results have demonstrated dramatic improvements in areas such as memory, sensory function and strength and endurance, reports the Science Now section of the Los Angeles Times on Sunday, May 4.
Groups of elderly mice in the research projects were infused with the blood of younger mice, and they developed far-reaching improvements. Most exciting, trying similar experiments on humans may be possible in the next few years. Researchers have targeted a specific protein, which appears in the blood of both mice and humans, as the key factor in the rejuvenation.
Lee Rubin, who is a professor of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard, stressed that a single protein is clearly controlling the process. "We do think that, at least in principle, there will be a way to reverse some of the decline of aging" by taking advantage of the regenerative powers of this protein in blood.
The anti-aging project has been underway for more than 10 years, but recent studies have zeroed in on this more specific factor – a protein known as growth differentiation factor 11, or GDF 11. The protein is plentiful in the blood of young mice, but the abundance decreases with age. Its absence appears to control much of the decline with age of mice as well as humans.
One paper focused on the sense of smell. Young mice tend to avoid a strong scent of mint, but their elders are less able to detect its presence. Researchers injected older mice with the GDF 11, and the predicted improvements in sensory detection proved true.
Another paper put research focus on muscle dysfunction, with equal success. A third study observed the effects of the rejuvenation on memory. Older mice, reports the Washington Post, got stronger, more mentally able, and they can exercise for longer. The effects were striking.
So striking, in fact, that UCSF professor Saul Villeda warns, "Don't try this at home." To get the same effects in humans will take a little more study. And it is not a do-it-yourself project.

Spending on necessities, 1901 and 2002-03
May 23, 2006
The material well-being of families in the United States improved dramatically during the 20th century, as demonstrated by the change over time in the percentage of expenditures allocated for food, clothing, and housing.
In 1901, the average U.S. family devoted 79.8 percent of its spending to these necessities, while families in New York City spent 80.3 percent, and families in Boston allocated 86.0 percent.
By 2002–03, allocations on necessities had been reduced substantially, for U.S. families to 50.1 percent of spending, for New York City families to 56.7 percent, and for Boston families to 53.8 percent.
These data come from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Find out more in "100 Years of U.S. Consumer Spending: Data for the Nation, New York City, and Boston," BLS Report 991.

ePubDirect, a distributor partner of the Loving Healing Press (LHP), is adding 3 new sales channels – Lunel, Bolinda, and 24 Symbols. These sales channels will be available following from 24th April, 2014.
Bolinda is a specialist in library and school markets. The company's headquarters is in Australia with offices in the UK, the US, and New Zealand. Publishers using BorrowBox include Pan MacMillan, Harper Collins, Harlequin, Quercus, Allen & Unwin, and Usborne.
Scribd is a US-based eBook vendor featuring a consumer facing subscription offering a cloud-based online digital library through a subscription service. Launched in 2007, the company is headquartered in San Francisco. More than 900 publishers including Harper Collins, Independent Publishers Group, Kensington, Open Road, Sourcebooks, and Workman currently supply this channel.
24 Symbols is an online subscription service allowing consumers read digital books on the Internet. Similar business model to Spotify and Netflix but with a greater benefit to publishers
The biggest single challenge for small publishers today is getting the attention of eBook sellers beyond those which dominate the eReader device market (Kindle, Nook, and Kobo). In many cases, unless you produce at least 50 titles per year with a back-catalog of more than 500 titles, they won't even return your email. In the case of Scribd, LHP expected to upload and
laboriously catalog each one of 200 titles one-by-one, a process that is both expensive and error-prone. Now that LHP has a relationship with ePubDirect, it is free to sell its content through Scribd unimpeded and still collect 55% of the sale price.
In 2014, it is absolutely critical to join a collective distributor such as ePubDirect. With so many retailers moving to the so-called "Netflix" model, where users pay a small monthly fee for "all you can read", we are expecting the primacy of the device-oriented bookstores to fade. Pretty soon, you'll get your fresh eBooks from Scribd or Inkbok rather than the Kobo or Barnes & Noble sites.

card statements are the ultimate math class word problem. Get one wrong and
the bad mark will stay with you a while -- on your credit report.
To make it even more challenging, nearly every credit card has
a slightly different set of requirements and a slightly different statement.
So here's a cheat sheet -- in plain English -- to help you sort through that
next bill and save a little money in the process:
Purchases/new charges: This is
where the statement should spell out what you purchased and how much you borrowed.
It's also the first thing you want to check, says Mark Oleson, assistant professor
and director of the Office for Financial Success at the University of Missouri.
His smart credit trick: Save all charge receipts for the month
and match them with the bill when it comes in.
"I want to make sure that when I pay my
bill, I'm paying the amount I charged," Oleson says.
That way if you're double billed or charged for something you
didn't buy, you can take action immediately. If you have a problem, quickly
contact the credit card company by phone and follow up with a letter.
In addition, you want to look at what rates are applied to what
charges. If you took out a cash advance, chances are you might pay that at a
higher rate, which probably started the day you received the money. If you have
a balance transfer at a special rate, you want to make sure that's noted correctly
on your statement.
- advertisement -
balance: Does the number track with your last bill?
And is it going down or are you just treading water?
and credits: Did you get credit for that return on Dec.
26? Or for the last check you sent?
"It costs you money if the information
isn't correct," says Bettye Banks, senior vice president for Consumer Credit
Counseling of Greater Dallas. Banks, who manages the CCCS Dallas Education Department,
suggests looking to see if they got that last payment or if you're going to
be paying late fees. Missed payments could cause you to exceed your credit limits
and bring on heftier interest rates. They also make nasty, nasty marks on your
credit bureau report, she says.
Didn't get a statement? "The payment is still due," Banks says. Call
the credit card company's number and say you didn't get one and send a payment
in anyway.
And if you sent in a check to pay off last
month's cash advance, did the company apply the credit correctly?
Cash advances: This
will tell you how much you've borrowed. Many cards charge a higher interest rate
on a cash advance than on purchases. They may not offer a grace period. And some
don't automatically apply your repayment to the cash advance debt.
you have to take a cash advance, find out the rules for borrowing and repaying
ahead of time. And track this balance until it's paid off in full.
APR: This stands for the
annual percentage rate, which a credit card issuer usually computes by using
the average daily balance.
It's worth checking, because as Banks says, credit card companies "can,
and do change the APR." Usually they will let you know if they plan to
change it by sending you something in the mail, but they don't have to, she
Beware of missed payments! Since your payment history affects your APR, it
could skyrocket if you start slacking on your payments. For instance, they can
increase your APR from a low introductory rate of 6.9 percent to as high as
22 percent, 23 percent or even 24 percent, if you miss a few payments in a row.
Check that fine print to see what they could raise the rate to if you miss payments.
charges: If you carry a balance, and sometimes even
if you don't, finance charges are the penalty for using plastic. Some cards won't
levy finance charges as long as you pay off your bills in full each month. Others
start charging interest from the moment you use the card.
"This is simply the cost of using credit," Banks
says. Finance charges vary by state and are tied to your interest rate.
You may have several different finance rates on one card
-- one for balance transfers, one for cash advances, etc.
[you] want to make sure [the right totals] are in the right baskets," says
Grace period:
How long can something stay on your bill before you are charged interest? While
some cards have grace periods, others don't. Find out if you have a grace period,
whether it applies to purchases or cash advances and what the length of time is.
Minimum payment: This is
the least dollar amount a creditor will accept for each bill -- commonly around
2 percent of the balance. "The prudent consumer will certainly pay something
more than the minimum," Banks says.
Due/pay by date: Not the
postmarked-by date, not the arrival date of your check, "that's the date
your payment should be in their hot sticky hands," Banks says. Allow your
snail mail payment five to seven business days to get there.
Another option: Paying bills
online. While you should still allow a few days for your payment to process,
this is fine for people who are comfortable with the site they are sending credit
card information to, says Banks.
The advantage of the online payment is obvious: "You
can make the payment immediately and avoid the whole mailing system," says
limit: What's the maximum the card allows you to borrow?
"Something I'm concerned about is my credit
limit," says Oleson. "If I'm in a situation where I'll be pushing that
and the finance rates could bump me over, I'm going to call and request an increase."
But the best long-term strategy for consumers and their
credit ratings is to have lower limits, he says. "Because [you] have less
potential debt."
Whatever your credit limit might be, you should not owe
more than 50 percent of the credit limit, says Banks. This negatively affects
your credit score and the amount of credit you can obtain for future purchases.
Late fee: Remember when you
were late to class and got slapped with detention? With a credit card, the late
penalty averages from $30 to 35 per month, Banks says.
Over-limit fee: If you charge
beyond your limit, or if late fees take you over the limit, you get hit with
this charge each month until you bring your balance down to your allowed amount.
It generally ranges from $30 to 35, says Banks.
Name, address, account number: Self
explanatory, yes. But check them over to make sure all the information is right.
Addresses and ZIP codes change, and it's easy to transpose account numbers.
Miscellaneous fees: The credit
card company can also charge for things like automatic debits and account dormancy.
Look for those charges and call the company if you see something you don't recognize.
Bottom line:
"Read your statement, as well as the back of it," Banks says.
"The devil's in the details."

A Chicago dye garden is an adventure for gardeners. Many different trees, flowers, fruits, nuts, and vegetables produce dyes to use in fun craft projects. http://www.pioneerthinking.com/crafts/natural-dyes
Ancient dyes that colored hair, skin, clothing, baskets, medicine and food were made from plants, animals and insects. Dyed flax fibers 36,000 years old were found in the Republic of Georgia. The dye industry flourished in India and Phoenicia 5,000 years ago. Colonists brought their dyestuffs to the Americas, and these were supplemented by dyes learned from Native Americans. With the development of the first synthetic dye mauveine by 18-year old Sir William Henry Perkin in 1858, natural dyes fell out of use.
Plant dyes can be made using a specific plant or its parts. Others require the addition of mordants to keep the dye from being washed out, or to make the dye fast. Mordants like alum, salt, vinegar or cream of tartar can also change the color of the dye. http://www.fs.fed.us
Grow these common flowers, fruits and vegetables to make dyes. Many trees are also used to make dyes. For shades of yellow and cream, grow dandelion, marigold, goldenrod and carrots. To make shades of orange, grow carrots, butternut squash and yellow onions. For shades of red, grow sorrel and red onions. To make pink dyes, grow strawberries, red raspberries and cherries.
For blue dyes, grow indigo, yellow iris, blueberries, mulberries and red cabbage. To make green dyes, grow grasses, lily of the valley, spinach, lilacs and snapdragons. For purple dye, grow dandelion, blueberries, hairy coneflower and blackberries. To make brown dyes, grow beets, onions and red currants. For black dyes, grow blackberry, iris and sand evening primrose. For gray dyes, grow iris.
Dye gardens offer gardeners opportunities to experiment with plants. They provide prospects for gardeners to create beautifully colored articles.

Born on January 10, 1898, Katharine Burr Blodgett would become the first woman to be awarded a Ph.D in physics from the University of Cambridge. Her father, George Blodgett, was employed by General Electric as the lead patent attorney. Shortly before Katharine's birth, her father was shot and killed in the family's home located in Schenectady, New York. Following George's death, General Electric offered a $5,000 ($138,888.89 – 2013) reward for the killer's arrest and conviction. Though the killer was arrested, he was never convicted, due to the fact he hung himself in his jail cell. Thankfully the Blodgett family was not left in financial straits following George's death. In 1901, they moved to France.
Following the family's return to New York City in 1912, Katharine was enrolled at the Rayson School, a private academy which offered her the same level of education received by boys of that day. In the earliest years of her education, Katharine revealed an incredible talent for mathematics. She graduated from high school at the age of 15 and received a scholarship to Bryn Mawr College. Throughout her undergraduate years, she excelled in both mathematics and physics; then completed her BA in 1917.
Seeking to pursue a career in scientific research, Katharine spent part of Christmas break during her senior year visiting the G.E. plant in Schenectady where her father was once employed. One of her father's former colleagues introduced her to Irving Langmuir, a research chemist for GE. During her conversation with Langmuir (who later received the 1932 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry), he told the 18-year-old student it would be necessary for her to broaden her scientific studies if she wanted to work for him.
In 1918, Katharine followed through on his recommendation by enrolling at the University of Chicago. Preparing for a job in industrial research, she wrote her thesis on the chemical structure of gas masks, convinced poisonous gases could be absorbed by carbon molecules. At the time, the US was in the grips of World War I, and gas masks were a necessary addition to the troops' arsenal. When she was 21, Katharine published a paper in the scientific journal, Physical Review, on the topic of gas mask materials.
After she received her master's degree in 1920, General Electric hired Blodgett as a research scientist. Her acceptance of the job made Katharine General Electric's first female scientist. Working with Langmuir, the pair was busy with monomolecular coatings which were designed to cover glass, metal and water surfaces. It would be another 10+ years before she would discover uses for these coatings.
In 1924, Blodgett was awarded a position in the physics Ph.D. program at Sir Ernest Rutherford's Cavendish Laboratory. The dissertation she wrote was on the behavior of electrons in ionized mercury vapor. In 1926, Katharine became the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in physics from Cambridge University.
Continuing her research at G.E., Dr. Blodgett devised a method for spreading the monomolecular coatings she and Langmuir had created onto metal and glass. Utilizing a barium stearate film, she applied 44 layers of the coating (Langmuir-Blodgett film) over the glass, transforming it into "invisible" glass, due to making the glass 99% more transmissive. On March 16, 1938, Dr. Blodgett received U.S. patent #2,220,660 for her "Film Structure and Method of Preparation". This new "invisible" glass quickly found its way into cinematography and was used in 1939 during the filming of Gone With the Wind. It would also be used to limit distortion in microscopes, telescopes and eyeglasses.
Blodgett now began to study soap bubbles. In doing so, she learned the various colors on the bubbles differed in thickness. Blodgett then went to work on a color gauge which employed the concept that different colors were different thicknesses. She devised a method to reduce the molecular coatings on the glass to one-millionth of an inch and created a glass ruler as well to indicate the thickness. (the thickness of a standard sheet of paper equals 35,000 layers of film.)
During her career, Dr. Blodgett received eight US patents. For six of those, she was the sole inventor, and was co-inventor on the other two with Vincent J. Schaefer. She published 30+ technical papers in a variety of scientific journals and invented absorbents for poison gas, improved a variety of smokescreens and developed methods for deicing the wings of aircraft.
Dr. Blodgett made her home in Schenectady. Though she never married, she enjoyed an active lifestyle, participation in the town's theater group and volunteering time with various charitable and civic organizations. Her summers were spent at Lake George where she pursued her love of gardening, along with her hobby as an amateur astronomer.
Katharine Blodgett died in her home on October 12, 1979. During her lifetime, she was on the receiving end of numerous awards. Beginning in 1945, Katharine received the Achievement Award from the American Association of University Women. She was chosen by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1951 as one of the 15 "Women of Achievement." June 13, 1951 was declared to be "Katharine Blodgett Day" by the mayor of Schenectady in an effort to honor her for what she had brought to her community. Katharine became the first woman to receive the Photographic Society of America Award and the American Chemical Society honored her with the Francis P. Garvin Medal.

The catalogue "Lyonel Feininger. Photographs, 1928-1939" that accompanies the exhibition with the same title has been awarded with the German Photo Book Prize in Gold 2012. Did you expect the book to be that successful?
LM: Since Feininger is otherwise so well known, I thought that people would be intrigued by his photographic work and am thrilled that the catalogue has received such a positive response.
Your catalogue has been praised as being reserved in its presentation for this well-known Bauhaus artist. Which were the basic criteria for the book regarding the format and graphic presentation?
LM: The book's designer, Katie Andresen, and I worked together to come up with a design that seemed appropriate for the material. We liked the idea of a smaller format, not only because it suggested the size of the photographs, but also reflected the private nature of Feininger's photographic activities.
How did you select Feininger's photographs – there are over 18,000 negatives and slides at the Busch-Reisinger Museum's Lyonel Feininger Archive – for the catalogue?
LM: The majority of Feininger's existing vintage prints (about 500) are in the collection of Harvard's Houghton Library and the exhibition is drawn primarily from that material (we did not make any new prints from the negatives). The prints mostly date from the late 1920s and 1930s when Feininger had regular access to a darkroom. In making the selection, I wanted to represent the range of subjects and diversity of approaches that he was experimenting with during this period and then organized the photographs into sections such as Bauhaus experiments, Baltic Coast, shop windows, and so on. In addition to the works from Harvard, the exhibition is supplemented by key loans from the Bauhaus-Archiv, Berlin, the Stiftung Moritzburg, Kunstmuseum des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt, Halle, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and a handful of private collections.
