The show review below is a guest post from life long Texan, foodie and internet security expert, Jon Marler. Jon's enthusiasm for Alton Brown's many food-related television programs is evident in this entertaining recap of last night's Edible Inevitable Tour show which took place at ACL Live. You can find Jon surfing the interwebs on Facebook and Twitter.
After finding our seats we were greeted with what sounded like the music track from Looney Tunes cartoons, setting the tone early. About fifteen minutes before showtime, the lights came down, the big screens came on, and some piano music started playing. Then … something … interesting happened. Sock puppets appeared on the screens. But not just any sock puppets … Yeast. If you are a fan of Good Eats you've seen the little yeasty puppies burp and fart time and time again on the program. The puppets did not disappoint. Just like on the show, the yeasty puppets burped and farted without any regard to politeness. In fact, they appeared to be enjoying their gassy emissions. They started slow at first, and much like the fermentation process they represent, they slowly picked up the pace, burping and farting and giggling with increased frequency. I could tell right away that this was my kind of show, and it was going to be AWESOME!
Brown started off the show with a song that any child of the 70's will recognize called "The Meat Goes On" where he mocked vegetarians and vegans as he proclaimed his passionate love for all foods carnivore. It was easy to tell that Brown could not believe he was singing a song about loving meat at the venue where the Austin City Limits show is taped. I had no clue this would be a musical show and instantly wished my friends Greg and Haley had come to enjoy the show. Brown took the time to introduce us to the musical genius behind the ten notes that every Good Eats fan can instantly recognize, Patrick Belden who played bass and lead guitar in the band. Brown had Jim Pace on drums who also played one of the lawyers, a lobster, and a frenchman on Good Eats. The Edible Inevitables Trio actually played well, which was unexpected.
Brown followed his opening song with a presentation that he claims to have modified over 70 times, coyly announcing he is officially retiring after this tour. Brown give us the "short version" of his "10 Things I Absolutely Know About Food" presentation. I won't spoil the whole thing for you, but I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. He gave us universal axioms such as "The best cook ever in the history of the world is …" and then launched into another hilarious song and story about his wife. If you are also a fan of Food Network's Iron Chef America, you will love the story behind the first item "Trout is not ice cream."
Everyone who came to this show expected some crazy gadgetry and antics, but before the first demonstration, we got another hilarious song about eating airport shrimp cocktail. Another one of the ten things that Brown knows about food … eating airport lounge shrimp cocktail is a very bad idea, and he has the bill from a two day hospital visit for food poisoning to prove it. After grossing us out with tales of airplane toilets, Brown invited his first victim/volunteer to demonstrate how to make ice cream in ten seconds. Brown is an expert at making the entire process hilarious and even manages to find a way to tease the hapless volunteer about his inability to put on a disposable poncho. Brown predicted that if he has such trouble putting on a poncho, he sees children in his future. Ponchos were thrown to the first couple rows, and shortly thereafter, instant ice cream was produced from Brown's custom "Jet Cream" machine.
After a short intermission, Brown treated the audience to a little bit of punk rock. He rocked a magnum opus detailing his absolute love and addiction to caffeine. The guitars were loud, the beat was fast, and he was good. Who would have guessed that Alton Brown could shred guitar on a punk track? He kept us rocking by launching into a song about a boy who was long denied his only desire. Not even Santa Claus would deliver the one toy he couldn't live without, but just wasn't for boys, an Easy Bake Oven. The tune was done in heavy metal style. The song was capped off with Brown's 1964 Easy Bake Oven being brought out on stage in it's original glory. Being the Alton Brown Live show, we all knew the food tv star would not be satisfied with some puny 100 watt oven. No way. Enter the "Mega Bake" oven standing at least seven feet tall, with a set of stairs that allowed Brown to stand atop like a triumphant hunter claiming his prize. 54,000 watts of pure baking power that can peak at over 900 degrees fahrenheit, but he promised to keep it just over 600 for our safety.
The Mega Bake demanded a sacrificial lamb (volunteer) from the audience. Brown walked us through the process of making a pizza with a woman named Stephanie, complete with airborne dough and many shenanigans. Brown gots heckled almost non-stop in this section, which he deftly parried with wit and charm. At one point, he referred to a particularly persistent heckler as sounding like singer Charo which only egged (see what I did there?) on. After much laughter, two pizzas were produced that were only dropped once or twice.
Brown brought the show back to music with a blues track about his mother-in-law's exceptionally awful pork chops. This was easily the best song of the night, complete with Brown playing alto sax and absolutely killing it! Who would have expected a song about burnt pork chops could be so full of soul? The night finishes off with a cheesy acoustic guitar lullaby for Brown's daughter about how easy cooking is. The song included a hand drawn slide show made by Alton's five year-old daughter. After finishing his lullaby, Brown wished the audience a good night, deftly held his guitar in the air and walked off the stage.
I couldn't possibly be happier with how the show turned out. I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting to see AB singing, playing the guitar, or playing the saxophone like an old pro. If you get a chance to check out the show, I can't recommend it enough, even if you are not a die hard Good Eats fan like me. If you are a fan of good comedy, cheesy music, MacGyveresque cooking contraptions, or old farts that just don't take themselves that seriously, you should definitely go see Alton's show. Remaining tour dates through March 2 can be found here.

On Friday morning, November 26 – the day after Thanksgiving – country music legend Willie Nelson was charged by the U.S. Border Patrol with possession of marijuana when officers found six ounces of Willie Weed aboard his tour bus at a Texas checkpoint.
On Saturday night, Willie e-mailed CelebStoner.com and suggested the creation of the Teapot Party: "Tax it, regulate it and legalize it," Nelson said, "And stop the border wars over drugs…. Thousands of lives will be saved."
On Sunday a fan-created Facebook page - "Willie Nelson's Teapot Party" – garnered over 5000 "Likes" within twenty-four hours with no press and no publicity. The page count continues to increase exponentially.
And on Monday morning, November 29, Willie Nelson called associate publisher Rick Cusick at his New Jersey home and recorded the following exclusive interview for HIGHTIMES.com:
Rick Cusick: Here's a question: What happened on Friday?
Willie Nelson: Well, we were going through a checkpoint and for some reason they singled us out and pulled us over. And they found a little weed on the bus and that's all they needed.
RC: Were the cops adversarial to you? I mean, it boggles people's minds that you could be in Texas and still get hassled for this sort of thing.
WN: Yeah. This was in Sierra Blanca down there where it's very active with illegal aliens and that stuff and the crazy dope wars and everything down on the border. And Sierra Blanca's right down there in the middle of that. So they're pretty edgy down there, and well they should be. But they were good to us. They didn't mistreat us at all.
RC: Were you the only one charged?
WN: Yeah.
RC: When are you supposed to go to court? Do you know?
WN: Oh, I don't know. I turned it over to my lawyer. He's contacting them. He's getting it set up.
RC: Now the scariest thing we're hearing today is that TMZ is reporting that you could be looking at six months to two years. Is that really possible?
WN: I don't think so.
RC: Yeah, that's good to hear. They were saying that because this is like your third time around the block for getting pulled over with the bus. But I think it's going to be treated probably as just a head stash, right?
WN: It's Class – What is it called? Class A misdemeanor is what I think they called it.
RC: OK so you're looking at a Class A Misdemeanor. All right.
WN: Yeah,
RC: All right. Tell me a little bit about the Teapot Party idea you got.
WN: Oh, I don't know. It was just, I thought, you know I thought it was kind of funny, a little joke that I carried a little farther. It's not a bad idea when you think about it. It's, one day, you know, it's all going to happen. The economy's so bad now that one day they're going to have to turn around and say, you know, why are we letting the illegal guys make all the money here.
RC: Yeah, exactly so. I mean, the Teapot Party sounds to me like this could actually galvanize a lot of people. What happened to you could galvanize a lot of people to get involved and the Teapot Party sounds like it might be a way for them to do it.
WN: Yeah, and I think if nothing else it could be like the Tea Party. They could find somebody who feels the way we do and back 'em in a political election because I know there's a lot of the young candidates out there running that feel like we do. They need to know that maybe there's a way to get some of the, you know, guys like us off our lazy ass and go vote.
RC: You know, I noticed that you had said in the original statement to the press, that you said "Our motto is 'We lean a little to the left' (Willie laughs). I think that was a slight uh, a slight jab at the Tea Party, eh, which leans a little bit to the right. Does that sound right to you?
WN: (Chuckles) Yes, sir. That's true (Laughs).
RC: That's what I got the biggest kick out of-
WN: Yeah.
RC: Because in the world with the Tea Party flourishing the way it did, I don't see how the Teapot Party can't flourish.
WN: I don't either. I think there's more of us than there are of them.
RC: Absolutely. You know there's twenty-five million Americans smoke marijuana every year, seventeen million Americans smoke it every month and over four million Americans smoke it every day.
WN: Yeah.
RC: And if you getting pulled over to the side of a road in Texas can't piss them off, I don't know what would.
WN: Well, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see what happens but I thought it was worth a shot just to kinda stir people up a little bit.
RC: Yeah, well this is Rick Cusick and I'm really glad you called in for HIGHTIMES.com. I'm going to put this up today and I know you're a busy man. I don't want to take up too much of your time. But good luck to you. If there's anything we can do you just yell out and tell me, okay.
WN: Well, thanks, Rick. I appreciate it and good talking to you.

Bernice Steadman was a veteran of many Air Races and began flying at an early age, earning her Private Pilot's License at age 17, and her Commercial Pilot's License in 1946. She founded and operated her own flight school, charter service and Fixed Base Operations at Bishop Airport in Flint, Michigan. She held an Airline Transport Pilot license and taught Reserve Air Force pilots after WWII. One of the group of women who went to the Lovelace Clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1961 and underwent the same medical and psychological tests that the Mercury 7 astronauts had completed. She was one of the Mercury 13 finalists, considered qualified by Dr. Lovelace for astronaut training. In 1968 she was elected President of the prestigious women's flying group, the International Ninety Nines, created by Amelia Earhart. Steadman won numerous air races, among them Transcontinental Air Race (the Powder Puff Derby) and the International Air Race. She organized the Michigan SMALL Race.
As of the end of the millenium, Steadman was no longer flying but remained active in many aviation organizations. She actively campaigned for a spaceflight for Jerrie Cobb as a counterpart to John Glenn's shuttle flight.
Status: Inactive.
Born: 1923.
Oddly enough, the selection of these women may have resulted in the first woman going into space after all. In May 1962 a Soviet delegation, including cosmonaut Gherman Titov and cosmonaut commander Nikolai Kamanin, visited Washington. Kamanin had been pushing for the flight of a Soviet woman into space since October 1961, and five Soviet female cosmonauts had just reported for training a month earlier. However the flight of a woman in space had little support from Chief Designer Korolev or Kamanin's military commanders. On May 3 Kamanin and Titov were invited to a barbecue at the home of astronaut John Glenn. Glenn, already politically-connected, was an enthusiastic supporter of the 'Lovelace 13'. Kamanin understood from Glenn that the first American woman would make a three-orbit Mercury flight by the end of 1962. Armed with the threat that 'the Americans will beat us', Kamanin was able to obtain a decision to go ahead with the first flight of a Soviet woman within weeks of his return. The Russians were obsessed with being first in space -- and even though NASA's female cosmonauts never materialised, Valentina Tereshkova of the Soviet Union became the first woman in space on June 16, 1963.

Garry's Mod to get Kinect functionality within the fortnight
Garry's Mod creator Garry Newman is updating his tool-set to support Kinect functionality, which will allow users to control the limbs of character models using Microsoft's motion device. The characters will also mimic your actions in real-time both within the tool-kit and while engaging in multiplayer. Just perfect for physically tea-bagging people, right? See it in action below.
Newman has also explained the process of implementing Kinect functionality into Garry's Mod over at his blog. It's a neat insight into how the function was achieved. The feature will go live this week or next, the creator has said.

Senior Hila Elster won both of her singles and doubles matches today to lead Tulane to 4-0 wins over Southern Miss and UNO.
Feb. 20, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane's 56th-ranked women's tennis team bounced back from a pair of losses last week in a big way today with a pair of 4-0 victories this afternoon against Conference USA rival Southern Miss and cross-town foe UNO at the City Park Pepsi Center.
In a rare mid-week doubleheader at home, Tulane snapped a two-match skid and won back-to-back matches today to get back into the win column and improve to 5-4 overall this spring, while Southern Miss dropped to 0-6 and UNO fell to 1-4.
"Today was a good day for us," Tulane head coach Terri Sisk said. "We battled the cold, windy conditions and stayed on our task of playing to win and not losing focus since we knew it would be a long day. I'm proud of the girls for our team spirit today and the fight we showed. Now we are going to prepare for a tough Auburn team on Saturday."
Tulane began the day with a noon affair with the Golden Eagles and the Green Wave needed a little over an hour and half to dispatch its conference rival. TU took the all-important doubles point with identical 8-0 wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 spots. Junior Klara Vyskocilova and senior Hila Elster topped USM's Kate Lanier and Mackenzie Oskin at the second spot, while the TU senior duo of Caroline Magnusson and Caroline Thornton made quick work of Macie Case and Emily Nettles at No. 3.
In singles, senior Emma Levy chalked up a win over Lanier at the second position, 6-1, 6-0, while Elster and freshman Jacqui Katz each registered, 6-0, 6-0, victories at the No. 5 and No. 6 spots, respectively, to finish off Southern Miss.
In the second match of the twin bill, Tulane returned to the courts to face the Privateers at 4 p.m. The Green Wave once again raced to a 1-0 lead thanks to TU's No. 2 and No. 3 doubles teams. Vyskocilova and Elster downed Marta Sans and Fanny Benincasa, 8-0, at No. 2, while TU's third team of Thornton and Magnusson cruised past Svensson and Sanchez, 8-0.
In singles play, the bottom of the Tulane line-up came through with flying colors and led the way for the Wave. Playing the No. 4 spot, Elster downed Benincasa, 6-0, 6-1, while Katz claimed her first win of the spring with a, 6-0, 6-3, victory over Sanchez at No. 5 position. Senior Emma Helisten made sure of the clean sweep with her, 6-1, 6-0, over Svensson at No. 6.
Tulane returns to action this weekend with a road trip to face the No. 59 Auburn Tigers at noon on Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Yarbrough Tennis Center.

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I believe in this sense that
is asking for a single definite place to eat
in contrast to
which is asking for opinions on multiple places where you should eat.
Both seem fine to me though but I think the latter is more commonly utilised.

A three-year-old cancer patient is responding well after his mother switched from chemotherapy to medical marijuana.
Sierra Riddle, mother of three-year-old Landon, relocated her family from Utah to the legal medical pot state of Colorado after chemotherapy caused her son to suffer nerve damage, intense pain and a complete loss of appetite for 25 consecutive days. Ms. Riddle investigated medical marijuana and made the move to Colorado Springs where Landon's leukemia was treated with liquid forms of both THC and the non-psychoactive cannabis compound cannabidiol (CBD).
Within four weeks of pot therapy, Ms. Riddle said Landon not only regained his lost appetite and energy but that the cancer went into remission – a result consistent with clinical research indicating that CBD in particular has demonstrated the ability to halt metastasis in aggressive cancers.
However, Ms. Riddle encountered another hurdle when she received a visit from a Colorado Human Services caseworker last week after a physician reported her for refusing to treat her son with chemo.
Ms. Riddle told CBS4: "They are not only forcing me to do something against my will as a parent, they are forcing me to make my child sick."
When a reporter asked Ms. Riddle if medical marijuana treatments were helping Landon, she responded: "Yes, a hundred times better, I mean a million times better."
Ms. Riddle's confidence in marijuana's efficacy underscores the increasing movement across the US for children with serious ailments to be treated with medicinal cannabis. Parents like Ms. Riddle just want what's best for their child and have found that marijuana works.
"As soon as we started taking the oil, his platelets have been a regular healthy person's level and [doctors] can't understand why," Riddle explained.

Beaches can be great any time of year and any time of weather and they are one of the most sought after date locations on the most romantic day of the year - Valentine's Day.
If the couple are "certified" sun-worshippers then the combination of balmy weather, pristine beaches, and luxurious resorts make a Valentine' Day at the beach a memorable time for both.
While a trip to the beach is usually a grand adventure, beach dates on Valentine's also suit best those individuals who have busy, hectic lives and want and need a break, or who enjoy traveling and nature.
Setting up a Valentine's Date By The Beach
Although all beaches guarantee total satisfaction and enjoyment, it should be considered that not all beaches are created equal. Before setting up that Valentine's date by the beach, you might consider these five steps.
1. Establish the kind of beach that you and your date want. The most important thing is that you'll enjoy your date by the beach. For romantic aura, you should look for a quiet and pristine beach where you can unwind and won't be disturbed.
2. Start looking and researching for that ideal beach spot and be sure to choose the beach that goes with your plan. You can choose from a wide variety of beaches like public and private beaches, sandy beaches, nude beaches, rocky beaches, white beaches, black beaches and the like.
3. Remember the beach essentials - prepare for swimming and other beach related activities. Never forget to include a sun block with high SPF. Bring a durable beach bag large enough to contain your flip-flops or thongs, plenty of towels, snorkeling gear, bathing suits, a novel or magazines and sunglasses.
4. If you are planning flying to your destination then schedule and reserve early. It would be best to make all the necessary preparations such as bookings and reservations for accommodations as soon as possible.
5. No matter how you get there, plan your beach Valentine's date well. Look for the ideal beach for that ultimate beach getaway by doing a little research so you can anticipate everything you need. It is best to look for beach resorts that have Valentine's Day offerings so you won't have to spend too much effort in decorating the venue. There are those that offer discounts on using their amenities while others set up a special menu for couples on Valentine's Day. The best thing that you could do is to choose those beach resorts that has existing Valentine's Day offering and add up some spice by customizing things using your own ideas.

Mountain Biking Destination: San Anselmo
Though mountain biking has a storied history, most people agree that Marin County is the modern day birthplace of the sport. And while there are a few areas that claim to be the first mountain bike community, every history book will lead you to Marin County. The origins of mountain biking we totally innocent. It came into being not as some faddist vision of profit-oriented marketing types, but rather as the product of true cycling enthusiasts trying to find something new to do on two wheels. These cyclists found through fun and competition that the old one-speed klunkers they were using could be improved with modern cycling technology. One thing led to another and mountain biking "the sport" was born. - mtnbikehalloffame.com/

OLBH Receives Full MRI Accreditation
OLBH has been awarded a three-year accreditation in MRI as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. The accreditation program evaluates qualifications of personnel, equipment performance, effectiveness of quality control measures, and quality of clinical images. OLBH performed well by each measure and received the three year accreditation.
"We're honored to receive full accreditation from the ACR," Terri Hannon, OLBH director of Radiology Services, said. "Receiving no ACR recommendations for MRI is something to be proud of. It is great our facility and clinical staff are receiving recognition for the high quality of our MRI services from medical experts."

I'm pretty sure that the built-in transport implementations all clear the flags themselves before using them. The fetch side has to be able to fetch twice in order to handle tags, and the push side has to be able to push to multiple destinations. So both parts should be defending themselves against flags that are specificly confusing to that part. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*

The power of five. Just down the road from Mesa, acapella phenomenon Pentaonix jammed at Tucson's Rialto Theatre Thursday night to a fire-code-hazard-packed house. Like the pitch-perfect pop vocal quintet themselves, their absurdly loyal fans were a different kind of crowd.
At the only Arizona show this sold-out Pentatonix Tour booked, they were more shoulder-to-shoulder, jostling-festival-choir packed at the Rialto, not beer-spilling-rock-concert packed. Sure, they knew all the lyrics to all the cover songs and often sang along. But how many standing, fist-pumping crowds respond in harmony, layer after layer of it?
"We were THE biggest choir nerds, best friends in high school," just three short years ago, announced Scott Hoying about himself, petite powerhouse Kirstie Maldonado and stratosphere tenor Mitch Grassi. And like he had announced free puppies and ice cream, a screaming cheer of mixed idolatry and adoration rang out.
Pentatonix and their fans embody a whole genre-hopping culture.... the culture that's these days filled with opera stars singing at Super Bowls(Renee Fleming), with bluegrass aficionados playing Bach (Chris Thile), with classically trained Lindsey Stirlings and Josh Grobans rocking pop hits and getting millions of web views.
Thursday night's set list reflected how the five, with only the power of their own vocal chords, musically legitimize bubblegum pop and rap and more. Though mostly teens and young adults, a sizable number of retirees and elementary school kids chilled to the likes of Beyonce medleys, and of 'Thrift Shop' 'Daft Punk' and 'Royals'. With an authenticity as true as their blend, their five piece mini-choir sang, "We're bigger than we've ever dreamed," like they are genuinely stunned at the inexplicable response and fame they've garnered.
Definitely one of the show's highlights, the group performed their first and only original release 'Run to You' to wildly receptive response. Without explanation or fanfare they took their high-tech ear pieces out, stood close, closed their eyes, and created a blend of dissonance and resolve that produced awed shivers. That kind of jaw-dropping sound has even BIGGER choir nerds, like cutting-edge composer Eric Whitacre, frequently citing and boosting Pentatonix.
The night also included memorable solo snippets. Bass-wonder Avi Kaplan had his sound so superbly mixed that the deep barrel tones from his singular voice box literally vibrated your rib cage, gave new meaning to 'heart be still.' And the guy is an overtone master; harmonizing with himself, he actually demonstrated singing two notes simultaneously.
In an indescribable mix of beat-boxing paired with his cello, Kevin Olusola, after seeming to convert his cello strings to guitar returned to traditional bowing accompanied by vocal percussion sounds of instruments yet to be invented.
The cello and Kevin remained center stage while the group returned. Their unforgettable 'Say Something,' having hit Youtube just four days ago, has well exceeded four million views. Punctuated with moments of desperate silence, the music and lyrics demonstrated a stark, exposed acceptance Thursday night, expanding the Pentatonix signature sound with greater depth than ever.
Trist Curless, the "kids" sound man also travels widely, singing with vocal jazz wonders Manhattan Transfer, and mixing live shows for Staight No Chaser. From behind the huge Rialto soundboard, he shook his head in wonder. "You know, I'm the young guy when I jet around with Transfer. The guy who gets stuff done and knows all the technology tricks. But these five? The sheer speed and volume and excellence of stuff they do in an hour, the way they use those cell phones to connect and create everything? Man. What a ride!"

What often happens when someone dies, leaving a sizable
IRA for their children? Typically the account gets divided by the
number of beneficiaries, and a broker cuts them a check. "The
problem is, the minute money comes out of an inherited IRA, it is
taxable. You cannot fix it, you cannot roll it over, you cannot
use the 60-day ruling," says Slott.
While nonspouse beneficiaries cannot roll over inherited
IRA money under any circumstances, they can request a trustee-to-trustee
transfer into their own account (unless the financial institution's
custodial document doesn't allow them to do that -- a relatively
rare occurrence). In order to stretch payments over the beneficiary's
lifetime, the new account has to be set up properly, with the deceased
IRA owner's name on the account, so that it says: Mary Jones IRA
deceased, (date of death), FBO (for the benefit of) Ed Jones, beneficiary.
Also, when a beneficiary inherits these assets, he
or she should immediately name a beneficiary for the account. While
the required-minimum-distribution clock doesn't start all over again
for the new beneficiary, it continues on the same schedule it was
on for the original beneficiary.
After-tax money in an account
Some 401(k) plans allow participants to contribute after-tax money,
and some employees elect to save this way. When leaving a company,
should owners of after-tax retirement assets automatically roll
the money into an IRA?
Not necessarily. If you need the money, you may not
want to put it into an IRA. Once it's in there, monies become commingled
and, besides having to track it on Form 8606 for the rest of your
life, you have to take withdrawals on a pro-rata basis. That means
you pay tax on the earnings portion of the IRA, and to do this you
have to calculate the proportion of after-tax money to the total
value of the IRA.
It can be an accounting nightmare.
There are a lot of other land mines in the retirement-plan
landscape. These are just a few. When things get complicated, it
may be tempting to throw your hands in the air and hire some help.
But is the help any good? Knowing about some of these traps gives
you an important edge in determining whether your adviser can help
or hurt you. If your adviser's knee-jerk solution is to throw your
retirement plan assets in a rollover without asking a few questions
first, beware.
Some basic questions they should ask are:
Do you have after-tax money in the plan?
Is your beneficiary form updated?
On his Web
site, Slott maintains a database
of advisers who have received training from him. That's no guarantee
that they'll know everything, but if you hire someone who's aware
of retirement-plan pitfalls, it decreases the odds of a botched
up transfer of assets. If you like your own adviser, you may want
to put him to the test to see if he passes muster before placing
him (or her) in charge of your plans.

I'm worried about my almost 12 year old daughter.
We had to move to a new state because of job transfer , we have been here for a year now and my daughter has no friends. She will be 12 in June. All she wants to do is read. She has great grades. She said she has friends at school but she doesn't want to invite them over and no one has invited her over to their homes. She use to have lots of friends and lots of sleep overs and play dates. She seems very sad to me. She has said that she is called weird from some kids at school. I just don't think she fits in where we are because it is a Mexican boarder town with mostly Mexicans and she is blond and white. She is very immature for her age not into clothes, makeup or boys. This has been going on for a year now. She use to be so happy , friendly . She is going through puberty. I just thinks it weird that she hasn't been invited to a birthday party or anything in a year. I keep saying lets invite someone over for a pool party or something and she said no. She also has been very mean to her 7 year old brother and seems angry .In Topics: Bullying and teasing, Friendships and peer relationships, Children and stress

Snowstruck: In The Grip Of Avalanches
ISBN13:by Fredston, Jill A.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
"Jill Fredston stalks avalanches. She predicts where and when they will strike, deliberately triggers them with explosives, teaches potential victims how to stay alive, and leads rescue efforts when tragedy ensues. Reaching deep into this trove of personal experience, Fredston captures the overwhelming force of avalanches from a panorama of perspectives: a skier making what may prove his final decision, a victim buried so tightly that he can't move a finger, rescuers racing time and weather, forecasters treading the line between reasonable risk and danger. Sweeping us into these stories, she also captures the mercurial fascination of snow itself, which first drew her to Alaska and then led her to the man who would become her lifelong partner in love and work."--BOOK JACKET.
Author Biography
JILL FREDSTON is the author of Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge, which won a 2002 National Outdoor Book Award. She and her husband, Doug Fesler, are codirectors of the Alaska Mountain Safety Center. They live in the mountains above Anchorage.

Moments of TruthA slab avalanche about two seconds into its release © jim bayThe problem . . . was not that people weren't capable of telling the truth; it was that they weren't able to understand what they were hearing. The truth was not a line from here to there.-Jeffrey Lent, In the FallJerry had been shoveling for days. it felt like mud, but it was only snow, snow, and more snow. His town was more a battleground than the dreamy winter scene of paperweight globes. Trees were toppling, roofs were in danger, and telephone poles plastered with wind-driven snow appeared double their normal diameter. Most mornings the lean fifty-year-old flooring contractor and occasional longshoreman didn't bother to throw on more than flannel slippers and bathrobe to shovel a soggy furrow from house to car. But this January 2000 morning in the isolated fishing port of Cordova, Alaska, the monitor heater in his house was down and Jerry had burned the last of the firewood stored close at hand, so he told Martha, his partner of more than twenty years, that he would dig his way out to the detached garage for another load. Knowing this wouldn't be a trivial project, he pulled on gray sweatpants and a hooded shirt, ribbed cotton socks and shoes.Sequestered on the rocky eastern edge of Prince William Sound in southcentral Alaska, Cordova is not connected to the rest of the state by road. Instead, the twenty-five hundred year-round residents of Cordova depend on the Copper River Highway-which might otherwise seem a misnomer for a two-lane road with intermittent traffic-as a vital corridor linking the town at waterside with the airport twelve miles east. If you want to leave Cordova, you must do so by air or water. If you want to stay, you can forget about traffic lights or parking meters and take your pick of seven bars. Jerry and Martha, who moved north from Virginia in 1980, were among those who stayed. Since 1991 they had lived in what seemed an idyllic spot, sandwiched between the crystalline emerald water of Eyak Lake and the steep slant of the Heney Range. Known as 5.5 Mile for its distance from town, the neighborhood consisted of just over a dozen houses and two warehouses strung along a short dirt road that looped at both ends to join the highway. Some of the dwellings, particularly those on the lakeside, were nestled in clusters of tall thick-boughed spruce, and many, in familiar Alaska fashion, were surrounded by an array of boats on trailers, storage sheds, motor homes, and long-dead vehicles scattered about like lawn ornaments. Just above the houses, the mountain's slope was a clean white scar in winter and a jungle of prickly bushes in summer.Jerry had been making tedious progress when he heard a rumbling like distant thunder. Looking up the broad fan-shaped lower slope on the far side of the Copper River Highway, he saw a roiling, fast-falling curtain of snow. Jerry had lived at the foot of the mountain long enough to be acquainted with avalanch

On Tuesday, July 29, Northwest Cable News reported that a dog who was missing for 22 days has finally returned home - thanks to a loving family of hikers who rescued the dog. The dog, who had apparently wandered into the woods, is now reunited with her Albany, Oregon family.
On Monday, Linn County Sheriff Bruce Riley said that a family had gone out on a hike in the Cascadia, Oregon area when they found a Bull Mastiff. Cascadia is 14 miles east of Sweet Home, Oregon. The unincorporated community was established in 1892 on the South Santiam River.
The tired, hungry dog was in steep, difficult terrain and the family knew that she needed help. After hiking out to call the sheriff's office on Saturday night, they hiked back and returned to the dog. According to Northwest Cable News' Facebook page, they fed her granola bars until the dog could safely get out of the woods.
An Oregon deputy who was involved in the family's call for help recalled that there was a poster of a missing bull mastiff. The missing dog, named Madison, was lost in the Seven Mile Horse Camp area on July 4.
A search and rescue team helped the family, making contact at 3:00 a.m. and helping the dog out of the steep terrain at daylight. After more than three weeks, the missing dog is now back in her home with her family.
There are many resources to find missing animals - especially in the Pacific Northwest. The Facebook page Lost & Found Pets Wa State has helped hundreds of missing pets return home. Organizations such as Missing Pet Partnership and Three Retrievers Lost Pet Rescue provide tips on missing pets and support to help find missing dogs and cats.
Missing Pet Partnership uses species-specific and behavior-specific lost pet recovery tips. To learn more about what you should do if you have a missing pet, visit their website here.
According to the American Kennel Club, Bull Mastiffs like Madison are intelligent, family-oriented animals who have a willingness to please and make wonderful protectors and family companions. They are powerfully built animals who excel at agility, tracking, obedience, and therapy work.

Beauty in Bloom
Friday, May 01, 2009 | Tips & How-Tos, ingredient close-ups
Ingredient Close-Up: Lavender
When we think about spring, one of the first things that comes to mind is the luscious bouquet of aromatic herbs and colorful, flowering plants that accompany the season. Generally recognized for its light, fresh aroma and lovely purple color, lavender begins to bloom in early spring and blossoms again in the late summer.
More than just a pretty bud, this fragrant flower has long since been prized for its medicinal benefits, which include reducing inflammation, stimulating cell growth, alleviating pain and promoting healing. Derived from the Latin word lavera, meaning "to wash," lavender is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-viral and decongestant. It's said that the Romans used to bathe in tubs of lavender water, and it remains a popular part of modern-day spa treatments designed to soothe the body and mind, reducing tension, irritation and stress.
Because of its healing and rejuvenating properties, lavender is included in many skin care products to treat everything from acne to aging. As an essential oil, it balances the skin, making it ideal for every skin type. At Pür Minerals, we've incorporated this wonder-plant into several products in our high-quality skin care line:
- Pür Polish – This face and body exfoliator cleans and polishes skin from head to toe. Along with vitamins and citrus oil, lavender sloughs away dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, new cells beneath.
- Revitalizing Facial Wash – Infused with lavender and aloe, this soufflé cleanser tones and balances skin's pH level, gently cleansing without stripping skin of its natural oils.
- Pür Balm – This quick-fix balm is the ultimate solution for dry, cracked or chapped skin. Essential oils, shea butter and lavender come to skin's rescue to heal dry patches on lips, elbows, hands and feet.

Better Man- The Race for 5th
Waiting, watching the game,
It's the 4th inning, it's got to stop,
Tell him, take no more, Manuel practices his speech
As he approaches the mound, he thinks it over.
Pretends to take the ball as he looks him over.
Manuel lies and says he's alright with him,
Can't find a better man.
Phans dream in color, Phans dreams in red,
Upset we can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man.
Talking to himself, there's no one else who can pitch now,
He tells himself, oh...
Memories back when the rotation was bold and strong,
And waiting for the league to come along.
Swears he knew it was so, but now he swears it gone.
He lies and says he's okay with him,
Can't find a better man.
Phans curse in color, Phans are seeing red,
Pissed Gillick can't find a better man.
Can't find a better man!
We boo him, yeah...but he don't want to leave this way.
We need him, yeah...that's why he'll be back again.
Can't find a better man.
Eaton ain't a better man,
Dos Durbins aren't better men,
Blackley ain't a better man,
Can't find a better man,
Kris Benson is injured and,
We need a crafty veteran,
Or an equivalent to Johan Santana-an,
Kyle Lohse ain't the answer man,
Where is a better man?!

If JD Durbin wasn't a once highly touted prospect or pitched a miracle shutout last season I wouldn't even pay him any mind. JD Durbin is a lot like Gavin Floyd in that aspect.

Western Technical College Hosts Open World Delegation from Russia
Published on Tuesday, October 23, 2007
LA CROSSE, Wis. – Open World leaders from Russia will join with Western Technical College faculty and students to recognize October as DisAbility Awareness Month. The Open World Program delegation will arrive on October 26th and participate in a weeklong professional and cultural exchange program organized by Western Technical College.
The purpose of their visit is to promote mutual understanding between U.S. social service providers and their Russian counterparts. The delegation will focus on community and family support services for people with disabilities and their families. The eight-person delegation, including two people from La Crosse's Sister City of Dubna, will participate in the exchange organized by faculty and students in Western's DisAbility Support Specialist Program. All the participants manage social and health services or advocacy programs for people with disabilities.
The public is invited to attend panel presentations by the delegation in La Crosse and Tomah. On Tuesday, October 30th, Health Sciences Center Room 2002, 1300 Badger Street, Open World delegates will discuss "Life in Russia with a DisAbility" as part of Western's DisAbility Awareness activities. On Thursday, November 1st, Western's Tomah Campus will host a "Lunch and Learn" session with the Russian delegation.
Managed by the independent Open World Leadership Center at the Library of Congress, Open World is designed to enhance understanding and capabilities for cooperation between the United States and the countries of Eurasia and the Baltic States by developing a network of leaders in the region who have gained significant, firsthand exposure to America's democratic, accountable government and free-market system.
Western representatives have organized professional exchanges with local social and health service agencies, including: La Crosse County Human Services and the La Crosse County Aging and Disability Resource Center; the School District of La Crosse; Riverfront, Inc.; Independent Living Resources; and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Tomah.
Homestays allow the Open World delegates to experience American family life. Host family volunteers from the Greater La Crosse area have the opportunity to learn about life in Russia today and discover work by the delegates in order to promote a democratic, civil society. Social events include a "Monday Night Football Packer Party" at the Rivoli Theater and joint recreation activities with Riverfront, Inc. Western's Culinary Management program is planning a farewell recognition dinner for delegates and their host families.
The Open World Leadership Center awarded a grant to World Services of La Crosse to administer this exchange. Through partnerships with seven U.S. cities, World Services of La Crosse will host 90 Open World visitors in 2007. Other Open World delegations from Russia, Tajikistan, and Ukraine focus on rule of law, women leaders in elections, social services and education for youth, eco-tourism, and economic development.
The Open World Program is a non-partisan initiative of Congress designed to build mutual understanding between the United States and Russia.

Trevisan Co-Champ At SCSU Bulldog Invitatational
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 10/02/2012
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - Bethune-Cookman's Patrizia Trevisan posted both her best round and 54-hole collegiate total to share first place honors at the South Carolina State Bulldog Invitational Tuesday at Patriot Points Links.
The sophomore shot a career-low 69 in Tuesday's final round to tie Wofford's Anne Marie Covar with a 54-hole total of 214, two-under par.
Also under par with a 71 in the opening round, Trevisan carded her first two sub-par rounds en route to her second career victory in which she cut 11 shots over her previous 54-hole low of 225 at the 2012 National Minority Golf Championships.
"Today was the best round ever," said Trevisan. "Winning the tournament was just part of it. I've dreamed of playing like this. You take it one hole at a time. Conditions were windy, so you had to think and play smart."
Trevisan, who recorded 10 birdies in the tournament, has been in the top five twice in B-CU's three fall events.
"I'm comfortable with my swing," Trevisan said. "I have the swing I really want."
Jennifer Hide and Andrea Orozco each had their best round and 54-hole totals to earn top ten finishes as B-CU finished second in the team standings with an 895, 11 shots behind Wofford.
Hide, who had two rounds of 74, finished eighth with a 223 while Orozco, who shot a 71 in the opening round, came in tied for tenth at 228.
Marie Bergelin, who had one of four eagles in tournament, came in 19th at 235 while Estefania Acosta tied for 22nd at 239.

Staying Fit With Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that harms plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells normally help fight infection, but in this case, they become cancerous. As the cancer grows and spreads, it may travel into and damage your bone tissue.
During the active phase of myeloma when the cancer cells are growing in the bone marrow, they make chemicals that can dissolve bone. There are certain places where there are literally holes "punched" clear through the bone.
As the cancer attacks more areas of bone, you may feel pain and be at greater risk for fractures. The effects are similar to those that occur in someone with osteoporosis, although the initial treatments for the two diseases are different. Doctors may prescribe chemotherapy, radiation, or blood stem cell transplants to treat multiple myeloma.
Is Exercise Safe With Multiple Myeloma?
There is currently a lack of research on the benefits of exercise in people with multiple myeloma. However, studies have shown that exercise can be helpful physically and mentally--if performed safely and cautiously. Exercise can benefit you in many ways. It can boost your energy level, help you maintain range of motion in your joints and muscles, improve fatigue, lower stress, decrease anxiety and depression, and help you feel hungry.
Certain exercises may also strengthen bones, as seen in people with osteoporosis.
However, while receiving treatment for multiple myeloma, you should not do vigorous exercise since this is a time when cancer is actively growing in bones and they are very vulnerable to fractures. During cancer treatment, the focus should not be to exercise heavily. Decisions on how to maintain, or when to start an exercise program depend on the patient's condition and personal preferences. People getting chemotherapy and radiation therapy who are already on an exercise program may need to exercise at a lower intensity and progress at a slower pace for a while. But the primary goal should be to maintain activity as much as possible. For those who were sedentary before diagnosis, low-intensity activities such as stretching and short, slow walks should be started and slowly advanced. For older patients and those with bone disease or significant problems like arthritis or peripheral neuropathy, balance should be considered along with safety to reduce the risk for falls and other injuries.
Talk with your doctor about the areas of bone damage so that you are aware of and can protect delicate bones. After finishing treatment for myeloma, the goals are to regain bone and muscle strength, and to return to normal, daily physical activities as much as possible. These will help improve your independence and quality of life.
Starting Out
During the early stages of multiple myeloma, you may receive physical or rehabilitative therapy to condition your body. A physical therapist is trained to guide people to do mild exercises.
People with multiple myeloma during or after a bone marrow transplant often feel ill and are inactive from having low blood counts and chemotherapy. Fatigue is a huge factor. The main goal is to keep them functioning by getting them to walk and to move and rotate different muscles and joints.
When you leave the hospital, the physical therapist can recommend basic exercises to do at home. However, you should temporarily avoid high-impact or intense activities such as heavy strength training or jogging. These can cause damage to the spine--which is often affected in multiple myeloma.
If there are only limited areas of bone damage, you can do careful exercise that avoids risk to the specific areas. For example, if there is bone damage in your arm, you could safely do brisk walking. Swimming is another good low-impact activity. The water offers some resistance but also supports and lowers pressure on your legs, spine, and joints.
Creating an Exercise Routine That Works for You
After your doctor says it's OK to begin an exercise routine, the first step is to choose activities that you like. This sounds obvious, but if you don't enjoy an activity, the sooner you may stop doing it.
After months of cancer treatments, you may feel weak and depressed. You may want to start exercising with a loved one or a personal trainer who can encourage you to do things that get you moving.
Different activities benefit your body in different ways. A well-rounded exercise routine includes the following things.
Warm-up. This helps loosen your muscles to prepare your body for more active movements and to prevent injury. One way to warm up includes walking at a moderate pace for 5 to 10 minutes while swinging your arms lightly.
Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise. These activities help strengthen your heart and lungs. Heart-pumping activities include walking, swimming, or using a stair machine, elliptical trainer, or stationary bike. Start with a comfortable goal of about 10 to 15 minutes, 3 to 5 times a week. As you feel able, increase your time by a few minutes every week. Work up to a goal of 20 to 30 minutes most days of the week. Avoid high-impact activities such as running, jogging, horseback riding, and biking outdoors. They can jolt and harm your spine or other fragile bones.
Strength or resistance training. These are repetitive movements designed to build or maintain muscle strength. It is best to learn these exercises from a trainer or physical therapist to make sure you perform them properly. You can start with 1- or 2-pound hand weights or rubber resistance bands (both available at sporting goods stores). Do strength exercises up to 3 times a week, every other day. Give yourself a day of rest in between. Your muscles need time to rest and repair. Avoid heavy weights of more than 5 pounds, unless directed by a trainer.
Stretching. This helps loosen and relax stiff joints and muscles. End your routine with a few different stretches for 5 to 10 minutes. For best results, hold stretches for up to 20 to 30 seconds without bouncing. You can learn these moves from your trainer or physical therapist.
If you feel any of the following symptoms, stop exercising or slow down your pace.
Shortness of breath
Sharp pain in a specific area (this is different from the dull, general pain that is felt a day or two after exercising, which is normal)
Extreme fatigue or tiredness
Never overdo any exercise, and if any of these symptoms persist for more than a day, see your doctor at once. The point of exercise is to make you feel better. If it doesn't, slow down. You can move ahead when you feel stronger. Remember, progress takes time.
Finding a Qualified Exercise Consultant
A physical therapist or certified fitness trainer can create a safe, effective exercise regimen done at home or in a gym. But be choosy.
A physical therapist undergoes years of education and training to treat people with injury or disease. A personal fitness trainer may or may not be as qualified, so be careful when seeking a personal trainer. Many people call themselves "personal trainers," but they may be neither certified nor insured.
Even with certification, a personal trainer may have little or no experience with cancer or other diseases. Also, the training needed to receive certification varies greatly. It depends entirely on who is offering the certification.
Refer to the Yellow Pages or a local fitness center for a personal trainer certified from a respected group. Examples are the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) or the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). They offer certificates for clinical exercise trainers who must pass a rigorous exam that requires knowledge of various illnesses and disabling conditions. The ACSM also requires a degree in a health-related field and many hours of training clients in a hospital setting.
In addition, have the personal trainer or physical therapist contact your doctor. Your doctor can inform them of your health condition and of any safety measures needed.
Many insurance plans cover the cost of a physical therapist in a hospital. But you may need to pay out-of-pocket for outpatient services or home visits. Check with your insurance policy about coverage for physical therapy. Insurance does not usually cover the cost of personal fitness trainers. However, a few initial visits with a qualified personal trainer may be enough to get you started safely and may be well worth your money.
These suggestions are all general guidelines. Talk with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

OXFORD – When you arrive on campus as your state's top recruit, expectations arrive with you.
Still, the high praise from his head coach earlier this week caught C.J. Johnson just a little off guard.
"I think he's our best player," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said earlier this week as his team turned its focus to tonight's regular season opener against Central Arkansas.
Johnson, a sophomore from Philadelphia, signed as a linebacker but didn't have a "best player" experience at the position.
He was moved to end for the last three games, a position he's fully embraced with the new staff.
"I couldn't be more pleased with the way he's bought in, the way he's practiced up to this point," Freeze said.
Johnson appeared in 11 games as a freshman and finished with 32 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack.
He's worked hard with the hope that his sophomore season will more closely align with what others – and Johnson, too – believe that he can become. Even so, Freeze's words surprised Johnson.
"That kind of caught me off guard a little bit. I guess it just comes from preparing and hard work during the camp and just buying in to what the coaches are teaching.
Top prospect
It's not that best-player territory is foreign to Johnson. Rivals.com ranked him the No. 1 player in Mississippi, the No. 21 player in the nation coming out of high school.
He had 300 tackles over his last two high school seasons, and his recruitment had No. 1 drama as he switched his verbal commitment from rival Mississippi State to Ole Miss.
Freeze's hope is that Johnson coming off the edge can be a disruptive force in the backfield.
The Rebels had no real pass-rush threat after Wayne Dorsey's injury in the middle of last year. They amassed just 13 sacks compared to opponents' 34.
Freeze has placed his hope in Johnson to reverse that trend.
"I expect him to be a major factor in our pass rush schemes," Freeze said.
Johnson knows this and has tried to respond with the mental reps as well as the physical, putting his time in the video room to good use.
"I try to use (film study) every day and apply what I find out in the meeting room to the field," he said.
There's been plenty to digest in moving from linebacker to end.
"I'm pretty comfortable at this point. It's just a matter of you can't lose focus on the task. You got to go out and get better every day," Johnson said. "Coach always talks about adding tools to your toolbox. The more tools you have in your toolbox, the better chance you have of getting to the passer."

Nuts About Granola, headquartered in York, Pa., specializes in freshly made granola using natural and organic ingredients in uniquely delicious flavors.
Sarah Lanphier was a business student at Elizabethtown College when she first "went nuts." As captain of her school's triathlon team, Sarah lived an active lifestyle and incorporated her healthy habits into a creative fundraiser at her school, selling her soon-to-be-famous granola around campus. She soon realized she had found her passion in life and began developing her company in conjunction with her business classes.
In the spring of 2008, Sarah and her mother, Gayle Lanphier, launched Nuts About Granola.
Nuts About Granola is devoted to ensuring fresh, wholesome and hand mixed snacks to its customers. As a supporter of the "Buy Fresh, Buy Local" campaign, Nuts About Granola products are always fresh and have received the "PA Preferred" seal from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
Beyond local success, Nuts About Granola has been featured as the "Snack of the Day" on the Rachael Ray Show. The company was also chosen to provide its product in the official gift bags for the 31st Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards.
In 2011, Nuts About Granola won several private label contracts and launched its co-manufacturing division, NAG Co-Pack. Three years later, NAG Co-Pack will open its very own facility to house and grow its current client base a few blocks away from its flagship store in the heart of downtown York City that opened in 2012.
In 2012, the company announced the launch of the first ever baking mix for granola, Granola Basics™, adding a new twist to the granola category.
As the company continues to grow Sarah and Gayle continue to uphold their core values of providing fresh granola, using quality ingredients, with a level of customer service and personable appeal no other granola can provide.
