Amber Stevens ("Greek") has scored a role in the comedy sequel "22 Jump Street" at Sony Pictures.
A newly released synopsis shows that the characters of Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are deep undercover at a local college in this outing. It's there Jenko meets a kindred spirit on the football team, while Schmidt infiltrates the bohemian art major scene.
They begin to question their partnership, and must also figure out if they can have a mature relationship like real men. Stevens plays a new love interest for Hill's character.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller are directing the project from a script by Michael Bacall and Oren Uziel.

No bathing, brushing of teeth, cooking of food or washing of clothes can occur in 17 West Virginia counties due to a chemical spill that even has new mothers unable to prepare baby formula with boiled tap water. Freedom Industries is responsible for the leak that released 4-methylcyclohexane methanol into the state's water system accidentally, according to Fox News on Jan. 10.
West Virginia lawmakers are up in arms about it, since their offices are joining with restaurants and other businesses, including schools in at least five counties, which must all now close indefinitely until the water can be purified. And Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin declared a state of emergency for those impacted by the spill on Thursday.
Approximately 17,000 customers overall are impacted, which includes the states of Virginia and Ohio, too. But 100,000 have been told overall not to drink the water, shower in it or use it for any purposes that could make them susceptible to body irritations or internal dangers. And the warning gives no potential date for when it would be safe to resume use.
Flushing it out, that's going to take some time," Democratic Senate Majority Leader John Unger of Martinsville said about the next step in the removal process.
Elk River was the recipient of the foaming agent normally used in the coal process at Freedom. But not before the chemical slipped past a containment area at the company after overrunning one of the tanks that held it. And now other rivers that Elk flows into are impacted too.
West Virginia American Water treatment plant reported that the chemical was in a weakened condition by the time it made its way to their facility, but they have also reported that "the water is contaminated" and does not need to be used by people. Exact details about the size of the spill or the concentration level they are dealing with is not known yet. But no reports of sickness have been made thus far.
The Emergency Management Agency has been asked to assist with bottles of water, but panic ensued upon the news advisory that tap water was unsafe to use, prompting citizens to rush convenience stores and grocery stores for all bottled water on the shelves.
It was chaos. That's what it was," described a convenience store clerk named Danny Cardwell near Charleston's capital.
NPR reports that this chemical is harmful if swallowed, could be harmful if inhaled and is known to cause skin and eye irritations if contact is made. Washing your body, brushing your teeth and using contaminated water, even if it has been boiled, is strongly discouraged by authorities right now. And that is making life almost impossible for the thousands of people impacted by a sudden need for purified water when the stores are sold out of it.
A licorice odor alerted authorities to the contamination leak, so smelling that in your home could indicate your house is one that has been contaminated at a higher level than that of others.
At this time the only safe way to use the water in the contaminated counties of West Virginia, Virginia and Ohio is for flushing purposes or emergency fire control, according to authorities.

Carmelo, Denver dominate Durant in rookie's regular-season debut
DENVER (AP) -- Give him time. Don't rush him.
That was the message Carmelo Anthony had for anyone who expected immediate greatness out of Seattle rookie Kevin Durant.
Durant's shot was off in his NBA debut, and the Denver Nuggets beat the SuperSonics 120-103 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
Durant scored 18 points in just over 31 minutes, but shot just 7-of-22.
"He's going to be all right," Anthony said. "I've been in that situation. I hope nobody puts too much pressure on him and makes him take that team to the NBA Finals this year."
Anthony bottled up the rookie on defense and showed him a move or two on offense. Anthony finished with 32 points, making three 3-pointers.
"It's tough when you have to start off your first game against Carmelo Anthony," said Allen Iverson, who had had 25 points and 14 assists. "The future is bright for him and the sky's the limit for him. He's going to be great."
Durant didn't feel so great after the game.
"I'm always hard on myself even if I played well," he said. "My team did a great job of getting me some open shots. I need to knock them down. I had a lot of open shots I should have knocked down."
Durant was taken by the Sonics with the No. 2 pick in the draft last June. He scored his first NBA point on a free throw about 1½ minutes into the game, and had his first airball two minutes later on a short jumper in the lane. Durant's initial basket came on a driving layup late in the first quarter. He showed no effects of a gimpy ankle, which he sprained on Oct. 23.
"I thought he played all right for a 19-year-old kid playing his first game," Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "It ain't about how individuals play. It's how our team played. We got beat."
Kenyon Martin contributed seven points and three blocked shots in 18 minutes. Martin was back in Denver's starting lineup after missing 106 games over the last two seasons due to microfracture surgeries on both knees.
"I know a lot of people didn't expect him to look that good," Anthony said. "He showed us a lot out there."
Before the game, Martin got on the public address system and told the revved-up crowd, "We're going to bring the Nuggets their first championship."
Anthony, the league's second-leading scorer last season, has predicted the Nuggets will win 60 games this season.
But in order to do that, the Nuggets had to adjust their way of thinking a little bit. Denver coach George Karl preached defense in training camp, and he saw glimpses of it in the season opener.
"Our defense in the third and fourth quarters was the reason we won the game," Karl said.
It sure helped. Seattle had a 79-78 lead with 3:05 left in the third quarter, but Denver went on a 28-11 run to put away the game midway through the fourth quarter. Linas Kleiza had four of his five 3-pointers to fuel the run. He finished with 18 points.
Durant's every move was chronicled before the game. A film crew came into the locker room and trained the lens on him as he tied his black Nike shoes with yellow and green trim, slipped on his warmups and answered text messages.
The intense scrutiny has started.
"I've been playing this all of my life," the rookie out of Texas said. "I reminded myself to go out and have fun. I had fun."
Game notes
The Sonics were without Robert Swift (right knee tendinitis) and forward Kurt Thomas (strained right hamstring). ... Seattle didn't play G Luke Ridnour, who's trying to get used to a plastic mask that he's forced to wear after breaking his nose in a preseason game. ... Damien Wilkins had 21 points and reserve Delonte West chipped in 19 for Seattle. ... Nuggets G J.R. Smith sat out the first of three games after being suspended by Denver for "conduct detrimental to the team" before the season. ... Denver snapped a three-game losing streak on opening night. ... Denver C Marcus Camby had 15 rebounds and five blocked shots.

He's made millions upon millions of dollars fighting on both HBO and Showtime. But, now in yet another sign of how his prominence keeps expanding, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has gone beyond the two big cable networks.
There I was, binge-watching my way through the second season of political potboiler "House of Cards" when lo, and behold, Mayweather or least his name was being bandied about by fictional President Garrett Walker (Michael Gill) in a tense Oval Office discussion with oil slick Vice President Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey).
That's right, add Netflix to the list of humungous TV outlets where Mayweather has made his "Money" mark.
Guess it's too late for a "spoiler alert" so I will tell you Mayweather is mentioned in Episode 12, Chapter 25 of Netflix's signature series.
The second series began only Friday and I thought I could finish the weekend by plowing through all the new episodes.
But then came the Mayweather stunner when it was least expected.
In an earlier episode, the president was given a punching bag by the VP and the Machiavellian Underwood suggested it could be used by the boss to let off steam as crisis upon crisis befalls him.
The heavy bag disappeared and then Underwood noticed it had returned to the Oval Office.
Pres. Walker explained that Mayweather had come by and given a brief pugilistic display right there.
"(Mayweather) said it's just not his power...it's his tactics, his precision and speed, and most important how he counterpunches...he ducks and he dodges and then picks out the perfect moment to strike," Pres. Walker tells VP Underwood.
As they verbally spar, the president issues a stern rebuke to Underwood.
"You can't duck and dodge like Floyd," Pres. Walker snaps. "I know your moves now."
Even Manny Pacquiao should be impressed by this invisible cameo appearance. After all, he knows plenty about machinations of politics.
Maybe Pacman can demand "equal time" from Netflix.

No debates likely ahead of District 2 U.S. House primary
It doesn't appear the Democratic or Republican hopefuls for the 2nd District U.S. House seats will be going head-to-head in debates ahead of the May 8 primary.
The underdog candidates — judging by funds raised — say they'd be open to the notion of a face-to-face meeting. The big names in each contest, though, don't seem to be tripping over themselves to organize anything.
Dan Morrison, who's running for the 2nd District seat as a Democrat, challenged Brendan Mullen, also a Democrat, to a debate on Dyngus Day, April 9. Mullen has raised nearly $550,000 for his campaign while Morrison hasn't generated any money, according to federal campaign reports.
"He says he can't do it, just too tough a schedule," lamented Morrison, who works for an Elkhart County recreational vehicle manufacturer.
Greg Andrews, running for the 2nd District seat as a Republican, said he wishes there would be a debate with Jackie Walorski, the other GOP hopeful. However, he hasn't pressed the issue, though he said there was talk a couple months back, and he "kind of went with the flow."
Walorski, a former state lawmaker from the Jimtown area, has raised around $800,000 for her campaign to just $7,414 by Andrews, a South Bend doctor.
Brooks Kochvar, Walorski's spokesman, said there's never been talk of a Republican debate that he knows of. At any rate, Walorski has kept busy, appearing at events all over the district.
The absence of a debate doesn't seem to miff Andrews. And though they may not face off in a head-to-head format, the GOP and Democratic candidates have appeared at various events at the same time.
Still, Morrison seems upset.
Whenever they appear at events together, Mullen, of South Bend, always seems to dwell on his college days playing for the Army football squad and his service in the military, said Morrison. Mullen served in the U.S. Army in Iraq following graduation from West Point and now runs a consulting firm.
"He rarely talks about the issues and that's where I need to challenge him, on the issues," Morrison said. Mullen, he continued, "doesn't want to discuss the issues head to head."
In a statement, Mullen spokesman Andy Reynolds noted that Mullen and Morrison have appeared jointly at campaign events. Mullen "enjoyed several joint forums with Dan where he shared his ideas of how to create jobs and cut spending," the statement said, in part.

The American Institute for Cancer Research offers the following background information on green tea, types of tea and how to brew them.
Green tea is defined as tea that has not been fermented, as black tea is, before the leaves are dried -- and it's not always green in color.
Although at least one type of generic green tea, usually packaged in tea bags, is available in most supermarkets, there are dozens of green teas, primarily from China and Japan, to choose from. Japanese green tea varieties are considered the most easily available, although others can also be found in large cities or at Web sites that sell green tea.
Supermarkets specializing in organic foods usually carry a larger variety and, in some cities, restaurants or tea shops that focus primarily on tea often sell types of tea not available elsewhere.
Green tea experts advise using the best quality possible and, since overbrewing can easily happen, the tea should be first brewed for half the time suggested in the package directions, then tasted to see if further brewing is desired.
The length of brewing time as well as the temperature of the water can affect the flavor and sweetness of green tea. The higher the water temperature, the more bitter and astringent the taste can become. Higher temperatures should be used only for lower-quality tea, to more easily extract the most flavor and substance.
Experts in green tea recommend using only filtered or bottled water, although some prefer filtered tap water, as many bottled waters contain less oxygen, an important factor in making green tea. Ideally, the teapot and tea cups should be warmed in hot water before using.
The most important rules in making green tea are: never boil the water in an aluminum pot, and never steep the tea in teapots or cups made of plastic or aluminum, which badly affect the taste.
Good choices for teapots are glass, which makes it easy to monitor the strength of the tea, china or porcelain. Although china or porcelain cups are most commonly used in China and Japan, clear glass mugs can enhance appreciation of the delicate color of most green teas.
Water should be below boiling temperature when added to most green teas. One way to adjust the water to the right temperature is to bring the water to a boil, immediately remove from the heat and allow the water to cool one to three minutes, depending on the amount of water used, until the steam drifts sideways rather than rising straight up.
Ideally, tea should be made in a teapot with loose tea, in order to allow enough room for the leaves to "blossom," or open, and move through the water. Although small teapots for one or two servings are becoming easily available, an infusion basket or tea ball can be used for a single serving -- but such baskets and tea balls should be large enough for the leaves to unfurl and move.
However, tea experts warn, infusers shaped like two half-teaspoons wired so they open and close, intended for a single cup of tea, do not allow room for the tea leaves to open, and thus produce an inferior flavor.
More than 40 types of Chinese green tea are available in the United States, although many are only available through Web sites. About eight different types of Japanese green teas are available as well, either at specialty stores or through Web sites. Less frequently, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Sri Lankan green teas can be found as well.
Some specifics:
One of the most popular Chinese green teas is Dragon's Well (or Lung Ching), a classic flatleaf green tea. This tea, which is known for its smooth aromatic flavor, can be steeped up to two minutes.
Snow Dragon, a Chinese green tea, is known for its complex and somewhat sweeter flavor and a more robust taste.
Chinese Gunpowder Green Tea (also sold as Pearl Tea or Zhucha) is made with a blend of old and new leaves, and can turn bitter if the tea is of poor quality or overbrewed.
Sencha is the most commonly used tea for everyday use in Japan. It has a rich, emerald color and slightly tangy, full-bodied flavor. Be careful not to overbrew, which causes bitterness.
Bancha is another common Japanese tea, but usually lacks the delicate sweetness of Sencha. It has a light green color and deep, robust flavor.
Hojicha is similar to Bancha, but is traditionally roasted over charcoal. It is known for its red-to-brown color, and a deep aroma and taste.
Genmaicha is known for its popularity among Westerners unaccustomed to green tea. This Japanese tea is unusual in that it also contains roasted rice. Some of the rice "pops" and looks like tiny popcorn kernels. The more aromatic -- and expensive -- Genmaicha has a higher amount of popcorn-like rice. Newcomers to green tea find Genmaicha has an agreeably nutty and pleasantly toasted flavor.

Site MPO12: Harvey's Knob Overlook
Elevation: 2571 ft. Harvey's Knob Overlook is a popular hawk-watch site along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Located at 2524 feet, this site is heavily visited in the fall by local birders enraptured by migratory raptors. In addition to large numbers of broad-winged hawks that are in greatest density during mid-September, look for osprey and bald eagle. Accipiters, such as sharp-shinned and Cooper's hawks, peak in numbers during the month of October. Falcons such as peregrine falcon and merlin are seen in smaller numbers during this time. Later in October and into November, look for red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks, with a possibility of seeing an occasional golden eagle or northern goshawk. Non-raptor species, such as common nighthawk, tundra swan, common loon, and several species of swallow can also be seen during fall migration. A trailhead into the surrounding woodlands can be productive for additional wildlife-viewing. Dark-eyed junco, indigo bunting, scarlet tanager, and wood thrush nest within these woods. During September and October, migrating passerines can sometimes be seen in spectacular numbers, especially warblers. White-tailed deer are abundant, some with little caution, approach strangers with curiosity. This site also offers interpretive signage on hawk-watching and provides identification tips to novice hawk-watchers.

The crew began the week by bringing the Active Rack Isolation System back to life after installing a new shock absorber in the rack. One of the eight pushrods that was not operating correctly was replaced by the crew. The system works to dampen out the vibrations generated by crews' movement throughout the station. Those vibrations could affect the delicate science experiments located inside the rack. Air and water samples were taken from the Advanced Astroculture experiment inside the US Destiny laboratory. The samples will be brought back to Earth for scientists to study. Scientists hope to determine what nutrients and conditions are necessary for plants to grow in microgravity.
The Earthkam experiment was activated once again this week. The crew set up a digital camera in the window of Destiny, enabling middle school students on the ground to remotely take pictures of the Earth's geographical features from a vantage point 240 statue miles high.
To prepare for the Earthkam activation, the station's robotic arm was moved Tuesday so it would not block the view of Earth from the Destiny lab. The crew could not release the brakes to begin the move using the arm's primary avionics system. The secondary avionics system operated normally, however, and was used to perform the move. The specific cause of the problem with the primary avionics system is still being investigated.
Thursday, the crew put the arm through a practice run of the movements it will make during the next shuttle mission to the station, STS-110 in April. The arm will be used to attach the next major station component, the S0 truss. On Thursday, ground controllers also sent up tests for the primary and secondary computer workstations used to operate the arm. The secondary workstation was not able to boot up during the test, and engineers are evaluating it. When the workstation difficulties were encountered, the arm was left in a safe parked position while engineers study the problem.

Oct. 4, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. – The East Carolina women's soccer team suffered its first Conference USA road loss on the season, a 2-0 setback at Old Dominion on Friday evening.
"We knew they were going to come out with some desperation and play hard and they did," said head coach Rob Donnenwirth. "Unfortunately, we did not. Tonight was a step backward for us and we need to regroup for Sunday."
Old Dominion (1-8-1, 1-2-0 C-USA) struck early, producing a goal in the 10th minute on a shot by Jessie Klamut. The goal was the earliest East Carolina (4-6-2, 1-2-0 C-USA) has allowed a score in a match this season.
ECU had its share of chances in the first half however, putting three shots on goal that were all saved or turned aside by ODU goalkeeper Merdith Lenox. The Monarchs led the Pirates, 9-6, in shots in the first half, while also maintaining a 4-2 edge in corner kick opportunities to take their 1-0 lead into the intermission.
The Pirates took numerous attempts at netting an equalizer in the second half, but could not do so before the Monarchs tallied their second goal of the game in the 87th minute on an indirect kick by Taylor Smith to seal Old Dominion's first win of the season.
Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Saundra Baron made four saves on the night, while freshman Abby Noble recorded a career-high five shots in the contest – two of which were on goal. Freshman Jenna Geist posted two shots in the game with one on goal.
Old Dominion held a 16-12 edge in shots in the game, while both teams took six corner kicks.
East Carolina will look to get back on track Sunday, Oct. 6, when it takes on UAB at 1:30 p.m.

Pope Francis said in his Wednesday Audience today that through the gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit, we can learn to be docile to the Holy Spirit as opposed to being attached to our own ideas. "It illuminates our heart and makes us more sensitive to the voice of the Spirit, so that we do not get carried away in our thoughts, feelings and intentions by selfishness or our own way of looking at things, but by the will of God," the Holy Father said at the Angelus today. "Counsel is the gift with which the Holy Spirit helps us to make decisions in our concrete lives, following the logic of Jesus and his Gospel, God enlightens our hearts and directs our thoughts, words and actions in accordance with his saving will," the Pope explained.
Through the Holy Spirit's gift of Counsel, we can "grow in the virtue of prudence, learning to overcome our self-centeredness and to see all things with the eyes of Christ," Francis said, saying that it "leads us to conform more and more to Jesus, as a model of our actions and our relation with God, and with our brothers."
"What can we do to be more docile to this gift of Counsel? The essential condition is prayer," the Pope declared. "Thanks to the intimacy with God and to the hearing of his Word, a profound harmony with God matures in us and leads us to ask ourselves constantly: What is it that the Lord desires? What is his will? What is it that pleases him?" The Holy Father also expressed gratitude to members of 30 families from Switzweland present for yesterday's Swiss Guard swearing-in ceremony.

Moto G owners on the Verizon network are beginning to receive the latest Android KitKat 4.4.2 software update on their devices. The wireless carrier is pushing the new software installation files directly to Moto G devices over-the-air (OTA).
When the Moto G made its debut on the Verizon network in January, it ran Android 4.3 Jelly Bean fresh out of the box. As Android Central reports (Feb. 4), the KitKat 4.4.2 update is landing in U.S. three weeks after the European model of the Moto G began getting its software refresh.
Along with the Android KitKat 4.4.2 update comes the most recent Motorola apps and overall system improvements. Verizon Moto G owners can expect to see changes to the user interface such as a new phone dialer, emojis and enhancements to printing support. The new update also features version 2.0 of Hangouts which can be set up to handle SMS and MMS messages.
Android KitKat 4.4.2 OTA updates should begin showing up on Moto G handsets in the form of an on screen notification. Users can also check for the new Android KitKat Moto G update by navigating to Menu>Settings>System Update. Carriers tend to roll out software updates in phases so some device owners won't receive the new firmware right away.

State Theatre in New Brunswick, will present Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle on Sunday, September 28, 2014 at 8 pm. Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle share the stage for a night of song swapping, duets, storytelling, and stellar guitar playing as they perform their hits and some of their favorite songs by other classic songwriters. Tickets range from $35-65.
"Songs and Stories, Together Onstage" features Grammy® Award-winning singer-songwriters Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle sharing the stage for a rousing night of song. The evening promises to be a rich and inspiring musical experience as these two long-time friends and mutual admirers share music from their extensive catalogues as well as some of their favorite songs by other classic songwriters.
In an era when female singer-songwriters are ever more ubiquitous Shawn Colvin stands out as singular and enduring talent. Her songs are works of craft and catharsis that become treasured, lifetime companions for their listeners. In the 25 years since the release of her debut album she has won three Grammy® Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for the hit single "Sunny Came Home," and has been nominated for another seven. She has released 10 albums, appeared on countless television and radio programs, had her songs featured in major motion pictures, maintained a non-stop national and international touring schedule, and created a remarkable canon of work. Over the years Colvin has shared the stage with such legendary artists as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, James Taylor, and Lyle Lovett.
Colvin's latest album, All Fall Down, is her eighth studio album and the first to be produced by her longtime friend and cohort Buddy Miller. Recorded in Nashville, it features a group of stellar musicians including Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Bill Frisell and Jakob Dylan. The album's release was simultaneous with the publication of her memoir, Diamond In The Rough. With the wit, lyricism, and empathy that characterize Colvin's performances, Diamond in the Rough looks back over a rich lifetime of highs and lows with stunning insight and candor. Through its pages, we witness the inspiring story of a woman honing her artistry, finding her voice, and making herself whole.
A protégé of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Steve Earle quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, The Pretenders, Joan Baez, and countless others. In 1986 his debut record, Guitar Town shot to number one on the country charts and immediately established the term "New Country." An array of releases followed, including the biting hard rock of Copperhead Road (1988), the minimalist beauty of Train A Comin' (1995), as well as the politically charged masterpiece, Jerusalem (2002), plus the Grammy® Award-winning albums The Revolution Starts…Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and Townes (2009). 2011 saw the release of his Grammy® Award nominated album, I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive, as well as the publication of his debut novel by the same name. Of the novel, Patti Smith stated," Steve Earle brings to his prose the same authenticity, poetic spirit and cinematic energy he projects in his music. I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive is like a dream you can't shake, offering beauty and remorse, redemption in spades."
Earle's 15th studio album, The Low Highway, was released to worldwide acclaim in 2013. It features the Grammy® Award nominated song "Invisible." Steve Earle is recognized as an actor from his roles in the acclaimed HBO® Series The Wire and Treme as well as appearances on Law & Order and the Tim Blake Nelson film Leaves Of Grass. He will be seen in the forthcoming feature film The World Made Straight. He is also host of The Steve Earle Show: Hardcore Troubadour Radio, on Sirius XM Radio.

More Pixies-related news on the heels of last week's EP-2 release: a "surprise" pre-tour warm up gig at the Calvin Theater in Northampton, MA on January 13. The North American leg of the Pixies' 2013-2014 global tour was announced on October 7, 2013.
Formed in 1986 in Boston, the influential alt/rock band comprised of Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Lovering disbanded acrimoniously in 1993 and later, reunited in 2004.
In June 2013, bassist Kim Deal announced she was leaving the band, and two weeks later, the group released their first single since reuniting, the free download, "Bagboy." Deal was replaced by Kim Shattuck (The Muffs) in July 2013 only to be axed some months later after the release of EP-1.
Argentinian-American bassist, Paz Lenchantin (A Perfect Cirlce, Zwan) will join the band on their North American tour. Mark Mulcahy will open up for the band at the Calvin Theater.
Tickets are on sale now at Northampton Box Office, 76 Main Street, 413 586-8686 and online at IHEG.com.

Know your heart: Heart symptoms, risks differ for women
Feb 2,2014
If the way to a woman's heart is through her mind, the key to keeping her heart healthy is knowledge.
Yet many people don't know that the symptoms of a heart attack for women aren't the same as men. Or that some risk factors for heart disease are greater in women. Or that it's the number one killer of women in the United States.
Overall, the death rate for heart disease has fallen over the past 30 years, but more so for men. Among women, heart disease is the cause of one in three deaths, approximately one death every minute, according to the American Heart Association.
That's why the Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign advocates for women's heart health each February.
Know the signs
Many of the 42 million women with heart disease don't know it. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 64 percent of people who die of coronary heart disease had no prior symptoms. This most common form of heart disease is caused by a buildup in the arteries that supply the heart and can lead to heart attack and stroke.
TV and the movies have trained us to expect a heart attack to cause chest-clutching, drop-to-your-knees pain. In women, it can be much less dramatic.
Women are more likely to experience an uncomfortable pressure, squeezing or fullness in the chest. Researchers believe this could be because women tend to have more blockages in the smaller arteries that supply blood to the heart, not just in the main arteries.
Other signs of a heart attack for women, shortness of breath, pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, pain in the jaw or back and fatigue, are easily mistaken for or dismissed as the flu, acid reflux or aging.
Women's symptoms may not seem like those typically associated with a heart attack. But it's important to seek help immediately if you experience them or think you are having a heart attack. Waiting can cause more damage to the heart.
Manage the risks
Some risk factors for heart disease are hereditary. Women are more likely to be affected by metabolic syndrome, a combination of abdominal fat, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high triglyceride. Women's hearts are also more affected by mental stress and depression, and smoking is more of a risk factor for women than for men, especially in combination with oral contraceptives.
But many other risk factors for heart disease are manageable, such as obesity, cholesterol, high blood pressure and inactivity. A good place to start is to know your risk of heart disease. Then begin building heart-healthy habits.
First, prioritize your health. This includes getting enough quality sleep, reducing stress, which can damage artery walls, eating right and exercising. The American Heart Association recommends eating a diet low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
Next, set realistic goals. If you aren't exercising now, start by adding a 30-minute walk. Then increase the frequency, duration and intensity as you go. If you need help to quit smoking, talk to your doctor. There are many resources available to help.
Finally, find your motivation. Reducing the risk of heart disease alone is probably not enough reason for you to make changes, so consider rewarding yourself in some way for achieving heart-healthy goals, a new pair of shoes, a trip to the beach – maybe with a new red dress!
Friday, Feb. 7 is National Wear Red Day to raise awareness about women's heart disease. Find out more about the Go Red for Women campaign at

From the package
"Cape Cod Popcorn is made from the highest quality, best tasting popping corn on the planet. We diligently research and test our popping corn from a variety of farms, just like we do for our potatoes, to ensure we receive the best kernels year round. We use only white popping corn which has a smaller hull (the hard triangular part at the end of the kernel), so that we are guaranteed maximum kernel explosion in the hopper. Popcorn has long been a part of New England history, and has been used for everythign from jewelry to breakfast cereal. It was even part of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth (less than 40 miles from our factory on Cape Cod), when the brother of a the Wampanoag chief offered popcorn in a deerskin bag to the Pilgrims as a token of friendship. Continuing in that tradition, we hot-air pop our corn in a small popper to allow close supervision throughout the cooking process. Air popping creates a very tender, light popcorn with a pronounced corn flavor, the perfect setting for our premium white cheddar. Our cheddar was selected after a year long search of over 200 cheeses. This special topping is 100% cheddar containing only milk, salt, cheese culture and enzymes. There are absolutely no artificial colors, preservatives or fillers. Once the white cheddar cheese is applied the popcorn is complete, but before it's packaged we test a sample from every batch."
This snack was discovered by Jeremy at Ocean State Job Lot. Review published .

text: Some Considerations Regarding the Problem of Multidimensional Utility Volume 3 Jena Economic Research Papers 2009-12-08 2009 2007 2009-099 utility pleasures neuroeconomics multidimensionality of utility The concept of 'utility' is often used in ambiguous ways in economics, from having substantive psychological connotations to being a formal placeholder representing a person's preferences. In the accounts of the early utilitarians, it was a multidimensional measure that has been condensed during the marginalist revolution into the unidimensional measure we know today. But can we compare different pleasures? This paper assesses the evidence from psychology and neurosciences on how to best conceive of utility. It turns out that empirical evidence does not favor a view of multidimensional utility. This does not eliminate the possibility to make a normative argument supporting a multidimensional notion of utility. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2009-12-08T09:45:37.395Z 2010-12-17T11:54:12.773Z

Danny Neal | Head Coach
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: (864) 231-5610
The 2008 Conference Carolinas Women's Coach of the Year, Danny Neal, is in his 13th year at the helm of the Anderson University men's and women's golf teams.
His first year was one of the most successful in the history of the Anderson University golf program, as the Trojans swept the 2004 conference tournament titles, claiming both the Men's and Women's CVAC titles at Foxfire Country Club in Pinehurst, N.C. Anderson's Kathryn Adkins, the 2004 CVAC Women's Player of the Year, won medalist honors in that inaugural tourney.
In his first eight seasons, Neal directed the men's team to four NCAA Regional bids. During Neal's tenure, the men's program has produced seven All-Conference players, including CVAC Freshman of the Year award winner, Adam Sheriff in 2006, who went on to earn first-team all-conference accolades in three of his four seasons at AU. The Trojan men have achieved four tournament victories and held a national ranking of as high as No. 17. Neal has guided an impressive 13 women's golfers to all-conference accolades, with Katie Eskew earning South Atlantic Conference Freshman of the Year honors in 2011.
Adkins claimed Player of the Year honors on the women's side in 2004, while most recently Neal guided a trio of Trojan golfers to All-Conference honors. Women's golfer Sophie Dembroski, along with teammate Laura Buyers and men's golfer Ryan Booth were named to the 2010 Conference Carolinas' All-Conference Teams. Dembroski carded a career-best second-round 70 en route to winning the Dana Rader Intercollegiate, hosted by Pfeiffer.
The women's golf team won the 2006 Upstate Classic, hosted by Limestone College at the Cherokee National Golf Course and also claimed the 2008 Anderson University Invitational title at the Brookstone Meadows Country Club.
Neal earned a B.S. degree in physical education from Erskine College and an A.A. degree from Polk Community College. He is a PGA Master Professional with Specialty Certification in Teaching.
Before coming to AU, Neal was the director of instruction at the Eagle Zone Golf Instruction Center in Greenville, S.C. for eight years. At the Eagle Zone, Neal taught more than 6,000 private lessons and developed corporate clinics and junior clinics. He was a nominee for the Carolinas PGA Section Teacher of the Year Award in 2001 and 2003.
Prior to joining the staff at the Eagle Zone, Neal was a certified master club fitter and assembler with Slazenger Golf. He taught fellow professionals the club fitting system, conducted fittings and was involved in all aspects of club assembly.
Neal was the general manager and head golf professional at Carolina Springs Golf Club in Fountain Inn, S.C., from 1993 to 1995. Before taking the job at Carolina Springs, Neal was the first assistant professional at the Thornblade Club in Greer, S.C.
Neal started his career at Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville, S.C., where he coached 1989 U.S. Amateur champion Chris Patton.
He and his wife, Suzy, have three daughters, Meredith, Lindsay and Kendall.

Everyone in the industry knew that actor-TV host Vhong Navarro is enjoying his comeback on It's Showtime two months and a half after the mauling incident happened. Based on a posted article of push.com.ph, an entertainment website of ABS-CBN, this morning, April 3, 2014, he is doing a movie with Solenn Heusaff, one of the sexy actresses in the backyard of GMA-7, rival network of the biggest and most powerful network in the country, ABS-CBN.
In his interview with push, Vhong confirmed that the trauma is still there. He also confirmed that a scene from the movie Da Possessed with Solenn Heusaff where he was going to be beaten up by several men has affected him so much. Vhong received words of encouragement from his followers and supporters online just minutes after reading a post of Mr. Tony Calvento on his official Facebook page.
They told him to be strong and promised to stay while the cases he filed against Cedric Lee, Bernice Lee, Deniece Cornejo and others involved in the incident are still in the court. Undoubtedly, he is lucky to have Mr. Tony Calvento as one of his supporters because he can easily reach the fans with the help of the very brave journalist.
Just an hour ago, he updated his Facebook page, and as expected, he posted important updates about the case, but instead of giving positive news, the print and broadcast journalist told his followers that Vhong Navarro is facing another rape case and it has already been filed at the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office. "Received a text message from Atty. Alma Mallonga: 'FROM PEP Good evening Atty. Alma. We received a feed that there's another rape charge filed against Vhong at the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office," Tony Calvento posted.

Managing and Conserving Our Wildlife
and Natural Resources
Wednesday, April 25, 2007
It's that time of year again when
white-tailed deer fawns are showing up in yards and fields and
concerned citizens want to know how to help. In almost all
cases, the best way to help is to simply give the fawn space and
leave it alone. By giving it a wide berth, you also reduce the
risk of inadvertently leading dogs and other predators to the
hidden fawn. The white-spotted coat camouflages a fawn as it
lies motionless in vegetation. Fawns, born from April through
July, are purposely left alone by their mothers. Female deer,
called does, stay away from the fawns to avoid leading predators
to their location. They will return several times each day to
move and/or feed their young. You probably will not see the doe
at all since she only stays to feed the fawn for just a very few
minutes before leaving it alone again.
Concerned people sometimes pick up animals that they think
are orphaned. Most such "orphans" that good-intentioned citizens
"rescue" every spring should have been left alone. Most wild
animals are dedicated parents and will not abandon their young,
but they do leave them alone for long periods of time while
looking for food. If a fawn or rabbit has been "rescued" when it
shouldn't have been, it can often be released at the same
location. Parents tend to remain in the area for at least a day,
looking for the lost youngster.
If a wild animal has been injured or truly orphaned, do not
take matters into your own hands. You may contact a licensed
rehabilitator by visiting the Virginia Department of Game and
Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) Web site (see below).
Raising a wild animal in captivity is illegal unless you have a
state permit. Besides, each animal's nutritional, housing, and
handling requirements are very specific and must be met if they
have any chance of survival.
How are the fish bitin'? Anglers across the state can get
answers to this and other fishing related questions for many of
their favorite rivers and lakes in upcoming issues of the
Outdoor Report. Back by popular demand, numerous license
agents, marinas, fishing guides and bait shops have volunteered
to serve as contacts for information on recent fishing
conditions for primary rivers and lakes throughout the state.
Sarah White, outdoor writer and regular contributor to
Virginia Wildlife magazine, will prepare the Fishin' Report
from interviews with contacts the week prior to publication of
the Outdoor Report. The Fishin' Report will only be
available as part of your free subscription to the Outdoor
Report beginning in May.
June 1-3, 2007 have
been designated as Free Freshwater Fishing Days in Virginia. No
fishing license of any kind will be required for rod and reel
fishing in freshwater except in designated stocked trout waters
on these days.
A rare April snowstorm made the Youth Spring Gobbler Hunt on Saturday April 7 a unique adventure with many
parts of the Commonwealth experiencing snow on the ground and
colder than normal temperatures. This unusual weather had
minimal impact on youth being successful in harvesting a bird.
From the harvest reported on the Department's toll free GOT GAME
telephone checking system, there were 55 gobblers reported. Last
year 85 gobblers were reported through GOT GAME on the youth
day. GOT GAME statistics reflect only those turkeys reported by
phone. The majority of turkeys are checked in at check stations.
Counts from these locations will not be finalized until after
the season concludes May 19. The following Saturday, April 14,
when all ages of hunters were able to engage in the regular
spring season opening, cold temperatures and high winds again
challenged even the most experienced hunters.
Due to the recent fish kills that have occurred the past
three years in the Shenandoah River, anglers are encouraged to
report any dead fish or fish with lesions to the Virginia
Department of Environmental Quality Valley Region Office at
(540) 574-7800. For more information contact VDGIF Fisheries
Biologist, Steve Reeser, in the Verona Regional Office at
(540) 248-9360.
"Golden Chase" Seeks Eagle Nesting Documentation
Would you like an opportunity
to help the Virginia Society of Ornithology, the Bath-Highland
Bird Club and Bear Mountain Farm and Wilderness Retreat document
the first golden eagle nest in Virginia? On May 19, 2007, they
will sponsor "The Golden Chase" in Bath and Highland Counties.
Each team will collect sponsors for their team and all money
will be used to pay for transmitters to be placed on golden
eagles in Highland County to track their seasonal movements.
This project will hopefully lead to determining why so many
golden eagles are seen in Highland County during summer months
and if nesting is taking place in this area. It will also
provide a more comprehensive view of the breeding and resident
birds in the two counties. For more information, go to their Web
site at mysite.verizon.net/vze7diu3

What's In Your Boat Tank?
If you own a boat and operate it with a gas motor you may
want to check your owner's manual and the kind of gas you use,
before you decide to top off your gas tank. You may have noticed
that E-10 fuel is now being distributed throughout the state and
in major metro markets, such as Richmond, Norfolk and
Chesapeake. E-10 fuel is gasoline that is 10 percent ethanol.
The new additive could cause some serious problems for local
boaters who do not check manufacturer's specifications to see if
the use of an alcohol additive is suitable for their particular
boat motor.
The most serious outcome of introducing E-10 fuel into your
boat engine is the potential for the corn-based alcohol additive
to act as a corrosive solvent, which may result in damaging
resins in fiberglass and plastic fuel tanks. Other concerns
include: contamination from rust or gunk, and water-alcohol
separation that can damage and shorten the life of your boat
motor. Gas stations using E-10 will alert you at the pump that
the ethanol additive is being used. To learn more about the
effects of ethanol gas read the May issue of Virginia
Wildlife magazine and the
On The Water column by Jim

Saw Whet Owl
by Spike Knuth
One of the most migratory of owls is the saw whet.
Often its wandering takes it into unexpected areas in
large numbers. They may remain for awhile then suddenly
disappear. The saw whet is so named because its call
resembles the rasping and scraping sound made when the
teeth of a saw are being filed.
It is a small (8 inches) but large headed owl that
lacks ear tufts. Its upper parts are brown, spotted with
white, while its under-parts are grayish-brown to
reddish-brown, The bird's crown is narrowly streaked
with white.
Saw whets nest in the Canadian-type forests of spruce
and fir in the Appalachians, usually above 1500 meters.
They choose old woodpecker holes to nest in but will use
man-made nesting boxes. They are dependant on small
woodland mammals such as deer mice, shrews, voles, red
squirrels and flying squirrels for food.
Saw whets are able to live and even nest close to
human habitation without any problems. One oddity about
them is their tameness. They can be approached easily
and reportedly have even been picked off of a branch
while sleeping.
They winter over much of Virginia.

Chapter 9.94A RCW
If the governor finds that an emergency exists in that the population of a state residential correctional facility exceeds its reasonable, maximum capacity, then the governor may do any one or more of the following:
(1) Call the sentencing guidelines commission into an emergency meeting for the purpose of evaluating the standard ranges and other standards. The commission may adopt any revision or amendment to the standard ranges or other standards that it believes appropriate to deal with the emergency situation. The revision or amendment shall be adopted in conformity with chapter 34.05 RCW and shall take effect on the date prescribed by the commission. The legislature shall approve or modify the commission's revision or amendment at the next legislative session after the revision or amendment takes effect. Failure of the legislature to act shall be deemed as approval of the revision or amendment;(2) If the emergency occurs prior to July 1, 1988, call the board of prison terms and paroles into an emergency meeting for the purpose of evaluating its guidelines and procedures for release of prisoners under its jurisdiction. The board shall adopt guidelines for the reduction of inmate population to be used in the event the governor calls the board into an emergency meeting under this section. The board shall not, under this subsection, reduce the prison term of an inmate serving a mandatory minimum term under RCW 9.95.040, an inmate confined for treason, an inmate confined for any violent offense as defined by RCW 9.94A.030, or an inmate who has been found to be a sexual psychopath under chapter 71.06 RCW. In establishing these guidelines, the board shall give priority to sentence reductions for inmates confined for nonviolent offenses, inmates who are within six months of a scheduled parole, and inmates with the best records of conduct during confinement. The board shall consider the public safety, the detrimental effect of overcrowding upon inmate rehabilitation, and the best allocation of limited correctional facility resources. Guidelines adopted under this subsection shall be submitted to the senate institutions and house of representatives social and health services committees for their review. This subsection does not require the board to reduce inmate population to or below any number. The board may also take any other action authorized by law to modify the terms of prisoners under its jurisdiction;
(3) Call the clemency and pardons board into an emergency meeting for the purpose of recommending whether the governor's commutation or pardon power should be exercised to meet the present emergency.

Since being introduced back in 2010, Microsoft's Windows Phone platform has been struggling to gain traction in the mobile marketplace, but one Nokia device is bucking that trend. A new report released by Microsoft on July 15 shows that the budget friendly Nokia Lumia 520 has registered over 12 million activation's since it was released in April 2013.
The Nokia Lumia 520 is considered a low-end Windows Phone device and is primarily used as a pay-as-you-go phone in North American markets, but around the world in emerging markets, the phone is seen as a good go to device on many carriers. While being low end, the Lumia 520 has pretty good specifications such as a dual core Snapdragon s4 processor, a 4-inch display and 512MB of RAM.
Microsoft's chief operating officer, Kevin Turner gave a good idea of just how well the wallet friendly device has been doing during his keynote at the Worldwide Partner Conference. Turner revealed that the Lumia 520 is the best-selling smartphone in its price range worldwide, and it is expected to remain that way for the foreseeable future. Microsoft has been so impressed with the device that they are now selling it as a first party device thanks to the Redmond, WA based company purchasing Nokia earlier this year.
There have been some recent rumors that suggest that the Lumia 520 may well be getting a replacement device in the near future called the Lumia 530. The rumors are based off of a device that recently passed through the FCC that could well be a 520 replacement based off of its specifications. The new device uses the same 1430mAh battery as the Lumia 520, and according to the FCC listing will feature a Micro-SIM card slot, as well as a MicroSD card port.
There is no doubt that Microsoft has been working hard in regards to pushing Windows Phone to the next level, and while the platform may struggle in the U.S alongside the iPhone and Android devices, in other countries around the world Windows Phone is making major headway when it comes to becoming a big player in the mobile space. If Microsoft and the newly acquired Nokia design team keep on producing budget friendly devices like the Lumia 520, then the young platform may have a solid, stable future ahead of it.
