We're feeling a little miffed at the choice of name for this Man Table Mini Refrigerator End Table ($499). Who says it'd be dudes who would want a beautiful piece of furniture that also keeps a bunch of cold brews close at hand? Men would probably just set an Igloo cooler next to the couch, if we left it up to them. They should call this the Classy Ladies Table, and sell it pre-stocked with Bartles & Jaymes.

Second Life offers unlimited opportunities for us to escape from the real world, and delve into whatever our fantasies can conjure up.
But some can take that too far, and actually become addicted to this escapism, withdrawing from their lives and their friends. As much enjoyment as SL has to offer, it has also produced its share of broken marriages, betrayals, and hurt to the people who come here to find one thing, and end up losing another.
This hurt can be in the form of losing touch with their real lives at the expense of spending all their time in Second Life. Or it can be hurt they experience IN SL, from people who hurt others simply because they can. After all, it's just a game, right?
Is it?
We will be beginning a series of articles on Virtual World Addition, or VWA as I will call it, from the point of view of people whose lives have been forever changed by living their lives in SL.
If you have experienced this scenario, or are now going through it, we want to hear from you. All identities will be kept confidential. Your story needs to be told, to show others we are human, and that, for some, this is much more than a game.

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server that already has apache and wsgi working. I also have a python script that works just fine using the make_server command:
if __name__ == '__main__':
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
srv = make_server('', 8080, display_status)
Now I would like to have the page always active without having to run the script manually. I looked at what Moin is doing. I found these lines in apache2.conf:
WSGIScriptAlias /wiki /usr/local/share/moin/moin.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess moin user=www-data group=www-data processes=5 threads=10 maximum-requests=1000 umask=0007
WSGIProcessGroup moin
And moin.wsgi is as listed:
import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/local/share/moin')
from MoinMoin.web.serving import make_application
application = make_application(shared=True)
QUESTION: Can I create a similar section in apache2.conf pointing to another wsgi file? Like this:
WSGIScriptAlias /status /mypath/status.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess status user=www-data group=www-data processes=5 threads=10 maximum-requests=1000 umask=0007
WSGIProcessGroup status
And if so, what is required to convert my simple_server script into a daemonized process? Most of the information I find about wsgi is related to using it with frameworks like Django. I haven't found a simple howto detailing how to make this work.

Commercial pesticide applicator recertification, rangeland weed research and structural pest and mosquito control are among topics for weed management professionals at the 2013 Wyoming Recertification Rendezvous and Convention Jan. 15-17 in Casper.
"This recertification session is the primary opportunity available for commercial applicators seeking continuing education credits to retain their pesticide applicator licenses," said Jeff Edwards, University of Wyoming Extension pesticide coordinator.
Registration deadline is Jan. 10. Registration fees are $85 on or before Jan. 10 and $110 after Jan. 10 or at the door. To register and for program information, go to www.wyweedmgmt.org/.
The conference at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel is in conjunction with the UW Pesticide Applicator Recertification program.
"Protect yourself," said Sandra Frost, UW Extension educator. "Protect your employees. Protect the earth. These are three good reasons to attend the Wyoming Recertification Rendezvous for commercial pesticide applicators."
The weed confab is organized by the Weed Management Association (WWMA) and the Wyoming Ag Business Association. The WWMA promotes and facilitates collaboration and education on weed management issues among all interested parties in Wyoming.
The conference will fulfill recertification credits for all categories of pesticide applicators whose licenses expire Jan. 31. Others will receive 12 hours credit toward recertification.
"It's the last opportunity anyone has for recertification if his or her license expires Jan. 31," said Hank Uhden, manager of the technical services division of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. "The organizing committee concentrated this year on topics toward specific facets of the industry, including aerial application, invasive species, and hot-topic issues that affect all applicators."
Other conference highlights include pesticides 101, monitoring pesticides in Wyoming water, rangeland weed research update, managing weeds and pests in turf, wolf management update, aquatic invasives and aquatic weed control, mice control and Hantavirus and mock inspection by WDA, among other topics.
For more information, call Edwards at 307-532-2436 or email him at email@example.com.

"Need For Speed"
Soundtrack Review
Music By Nathan Furst
Varese Sarabande
20 Tracks/Disc Time: 70:54
Grade: B+
Movies based on video game adaptations haven't always been successful and this goes back twenty years starting with the now dreaded "Super Mario Bros.", that has lead to other video game based films such as "Street Fighter", "Double Dragon", "Mortal Kombat", and most recently doom, "Doom". Out of these, "Mortal Kombat" still stands as the most successful film video game adaptation do date. Dreamworks' "Need For Speed" is based on the hit video game by Electronic Arts that stars "Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul as Tobey Marshall, a street racer who was framed and sent to jail by a wealthy business associate, a pro NASCAR driver and bad boy, Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper) joins a cross country race, the De Leon Race revenge in mind. However, when his ex-partner gets wind of this, he instantly places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins and eliminate Tobey once and for all. Desperate to use the last car that he and his team worked on, a 50th Anniversary Ford Mustang that Carroll Shelby reportedly worked on before his eventual death in 2012, a car that produces 800+ horsepower and reaches a max speed of 234mph,Tobey and his team, accompanied by the wealthy investor associate, Julia (Imogen Poots, "Fright Night") race to an unknown location in search of proving Marshall's innocence and making Brewster pay for the death of his friend. The film also co-stars Michael Keaton and has done very well at the box office to date.
With a film such as this that mixes both hard edged action scenes and drama in between, a composer was needed to fit the bill that not only would fulfill the excellent dynamics of the film that include amazing stuntwork, but the acting as well. Calling on his old friend, Director Scott Waugh knew exactly what he was getting when he chose the very talented Nathan Furst (son of "National Lampoon's Animal House's" Stephen Furst) as the musical wheelman as the film's composer. Nathan, who I had the pleasure of interviewing made a great musical sensation with his hard edged and exciting score to the documentary, "Dust To Glory" in which Waugh worked on, has written a score that is not only sensational, but one of the more enjoyable efforts of the year to date. The music is everything you would want in an action score: solid themes, great thrilling material and solid drama mixed in that gives the edge to this score that is really charges hard to the finish.
From the dramatic start in "Marshall Motors", Furst establishes a melodic mood that is filled great guitar work and nice string work leading the score to really kick it into high gear with killer exciting tracks such as "Mt.Kisco", "Koenigsegg Race", "Flight Seater", "Motor City Mayhem", "Hot Fuel", "Utah Escape", "DeLeone Begins" and "Lethal Force" which are really high octane action-filled tracks that also maintain a very dramatic balance that distinguishes it far more than most scores of this type today. Full use of the orchestra here makes a huge difference giving these tracks the great edge to make them very memorable. "Pete's Death" is a solid example of Furst's dramatic writing with a nice guitar solo that is complimented perfectly by a lovely female vocal that makes a wonderful return later on in the track "California Crossing" as well as the track "You Always Go Back" that also has dynamic writing. "In The Lead" is the perfect ending to this score with a propulsive and solid push to the finish with brass and driving string work that just leads to a great dramatic finish as the gears shift one last time for a memorable thematic ending that all scores now adays really do lack. It's just so good.
Varese Sarabande's album features a healthy amount of the score that Nathan wrote and it is a very energetic and exciting listen that really works on all cylanders. It works because of the musical flow that Furst has assembled as well as keeping the musical narrative of the film still in tact. Give kudos to Varese producer Robert Townson for picking up this score for the label because it's really a solid effort and it really would've been a shame to just let this one go into the oblivion of unreleased scores. What else could you possibly ask for? This surely the score that will hopefully garner Nathan Furst alot of work in the future because after proving that he had the musical chops in "Dust To Glory", he really sets the bar even higher with this fun, kick ass score! Highly recommended. Thumbs way up!

SILVA, Baldomero Antonio Kato da et al. Experimental model of pulmonary carcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Acta Cir. Bras. [online]. 2007, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.16-20. ISSN 0102-8650. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-86502007000700005.
PURPOSE: To elaborate an experimental model of pulmonary carcinogenesis in Wistar rats. METHODS: Male Rattus norvegicus albinus, Wistar lineage was carried through an intra-pulmonary instillation of the Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) dilution in alcohol 70%, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon widely known by its power of tumoral induction. Three experimental groups had been formed with 08 animals each: Control Group (Alcohol 70%); B[a]P Group 10 mg/kg; e B[a]P Group 20mg/kg, submitted to euthanasia 08, 10, 12 and 14 weeks after the experimental procedure. The pulmonary sections had been colored by hematoxilin-eosin (HE) and submitted to the morphometrical analysis to describe the tissue alterations. RESULTS: The presence of diffuse inflammatory alterations was observed in all groups, however, at the analysis of the pulmonary tissue of the experimental groups, it had been observed hyperplasic alterations (BALT hyperplasia), and in one of the animals of the experimental group 20mg/kg (12 weeks), it was noticed the presence of cellular epithelial tracheal pleomorphism, suggesting the adenocarcinoma formation in situ. CONCLUSION: The main secondary alterations to the intra-pulmonary instillation of B[a]P in Wistar rats were: cellular proliferation, inflammatory alterations of several degrees and nodular lymphoid hyperplasias. The association of an activator agent of the pulmonary metabolic reply is necessary to establish the ideal reply-dose to the development of the lung cancer.

An MC-12 crash in eastern Afghanistan has claimed the lives of three Americans. Officials in Afghanistan today reported that two soldiers and a civilian employee, said to be of U.S. nationality, were the only victims in the MC-12 crash. Regarding the tragic MC-12 crash, ABC News reported on Jan. 9 that there is no indication that enemy fire played a role in the incident.
"International Security Assistance Force service members and one ISAF civilian died following an aircraft mishap in eastern Afghanistan today," a statement released by NATO in Afghanistan explained.
In a brief statement, the Afghan news channel Khaama Press noted that an MC-12 crash killed two service members and a civilian employee without giving more details about the accident.
NY Daily News confirmed that the victims in the MC-12 crash were Americans, although the International Force Security Assistance (ISAF) under NATO command, did not confirm the nationality of the victims.
Exclusive: Sperm switched: Woman horrified after learning ex-con is the father of her child
The MC-12 military aircraft is used for aerial reconnaissance was conducting a night mission. The cause of the accident is still unknown.
The MC-12 accident follows a crash involving a Blackhawk helicopter on Dec. 17 in southern Afghanistan in which six U.S. soldiers died. However, this particular crash was no accident and it was recently revealed that enemy fire was responsible for one of the worst casualty incidents in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
Four NATO soldiers have died in Afghanistan so far this year. One service member was killed in a suicide attack on Jan. 4 in eastern Afghanistan, and another on Jan. 1.
Wikipedia reports that the MC-12 aircraft is the military designation for a series of twin-engine turboprop aircraft based on the Beechcraft Super King Air and Beechcraft 1900. C-12 variants are used by the United States Air Force, United States Army, United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. These aircraft are used for various duties, including embassy support, medical evacuation, as well as passenger and light cargo transport. Some aircraft are modified with surveillance systems for various missions, including the Cefly Lancer, Guardrail and Project Liberty programs.
More details on the MC-12 crash will be posted here as they are made available.

Creators Kyle Higgins, Alec Siegel, and Rod Reis take fans back to the 1960s to focus on the superhero labor union in the all-new series C.O.W.L.
In the series a rise in "super powered" individuals dates back to the closing days of World War II after the deployment of the atomic bomb. In response, Geoffrey Warner aka The Grey Raven spearheaded the campaign to bring heroes together in Chicago and struck a contract with the city for the heroes' services. But while C.O.W.L. once stood as a beacon of hope against an epidemic of organized crime and a loose "brotherhood" of villains, the organization is now in a position where it must prove its worth to an ever more disillusioned public...while overcoming great threats from both inside and outside its offices.
Step back into 1960s Chicago and join the union when C.O.W.L. hits stores in 2014.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
In an election where many Americans expressed their desire for change, they also maintained their long-standing support for conservation by voting to dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars a year for conservation in states such as Iowa, Oregon, Maine, Rhode Island and Texas.
Despite a bad economy, Americans passed 29 of 35 state and local conservation funding measures this election day for a passage rate of 83 percent, making it the most successful year for conservation ballot measures since 1989. The measures passed in these states will result in dedicated funding to protect and restore land and water.
In the first major vote ever on a climate initiative, California voters yesterday defeated Prop 23 to preserve the state's landmark climate change legislation.
"Americans recognize that even in a tough economy, protecting the waters and lands we need to survive is a top priority," said Mark Tercek, President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy. "People value clean water and healthy land and are willing to invest to protect them. Congress should follow the voters' lead and pass conservation legislation before the end of the year."
The Conservancy strongly supported several winning ballot measures yesterday where voters have overwhelmingly decided to use tax dollars to improve water quality, protect land, and provide for outdoor recreational activities.
• Iowa: A constitutional amendment that will permanently dedicate $150 million per year in state sales tax for land, water, and farmland preservation.
• Oregon: A measure to continue dedicating a portion of the state lottery for parks and natural resources that will generate about $100 million per year. A separate county-level ballot measure in Oregon expresses support for fish habitat restoration for the Klamath River Basin.
• Texas: A local measure in San Antonio will extend the current sales tax to provide an additional $90 million to protect land around the Edwards Aquifer.
• Maine: A statewide bond measure will provide $9.75 million for the Land for Maine's Future program.
• Rhode Island: A statewide bond will provide $14.7 million for urban parks and open space, as well as a $2 million open space bond in the town of Narragansett.
While an overwhelming majority of ballot measures were successful across the nation, the California state parks initiative (Prop 21) failed approval.
"While a contentious election and frustrating budget situation made it difficult to connect with voters about the urgency of state park funding, Californians made a historic vote to preserve important climate change legislation that protects the state's air quality and green economy. This is an important step toward getting national and global efforts to address climate change back on track," said Carol Baudler, director of the Conservancy's conservation campaigns. "When you look at the nation overall, you see Americans voting yes again and again to protecting clean air, water and land."
A Nature Conservancy poll last year showed that more than three-quarters of voters believe we can continue to protect the environment while strengthening the economy.
"In ballot results and national polls, it is clear that conservation is an issue people support across party lines," said Robert Bendick, director of U.S. government relations for the Conservancy. "Taking care of the lands and waters that sustain us is a responsibility that we all share. Congress can be confident of public support for passage of pending legislation for Gulf of Mexico restoration and for full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund."
The Land and Water Conservation Fund is the key federal program that balances the use of offshore oil and gas by taking a portion of drilling fees to protect important land and water elsewhere. Established in 1965, the program has supported protection of some of America's most cherished places – from the Grand Canyon to the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Scenic Trail – but funding has been low and unpredictable. The Conservancy strongly supports pending legislation (S. 2747) that would provide full funding of $900 million per year for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Allergies are most prominent in the spring of the year, when the pollen begin to unfold, the trees and plants begin to blossom.
An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. An allergic reactions occurs when a person's immune system, reacts to normal substances in the environment.
A lot of these substances are microscopic, it is good for the more sensitive people to wear a type of mask, because allergic reactions occurs most often this time of year.
Allergies are most prominent in the spring of the year, when the pollen begin to unfold, the trees and plants begin to blossom. An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. An allergic reactions occurs when a person's immune system, reacts to normal substances in the environment.
Any substance that causes a reaction is labeled as an allergen. According to researchers, these reactions are acquired, mostly predicable, and sometimes come rapidly. This disorder reactions are very distinctive, the reason is because of excessive activation of certain white blood cells.
A mild episode such as hay fever occurs, when an allergen of pollen, dust or animal particles of shed skin, is inhaled by an individual with a very sensitive immune system. The disorder triggers a production of antibodies, also see immunoglobulin E(IGE), which allied themselves with mast cells and basophils, the cells produce histamine which is caused by pollen that come from any plant.
The immunoglobulin E(IGE), helps to produce inflammation trying to attack the allergen that cause the disorder, which are known from dust mite, pollen, and pet dander. There are other means that can cause this disorder, such as chlorine, perfume, royal jelly, food sensitivity, and there are some foods peanuts, legume, seafood, and shellfish are also the causes of allergies in many people. The Food and Drug Administration, recognize eight different foods, as being commonly known for this disorder, or allergic reactions of a large part of the sensitive population. These foods include
Another type of allergen is urushiol, this is an oily organic allergen found in plants, I have had the experience of this allergen via poison oak. There are other common causes of allergic reactions: wasp, fire ant, bee stings, penicillin, and latex.
Insect stings, antibiotics and certain medicine produces a systemic allergic response, which is called anaphylaxis, this kind of disorder is a serious allergic reaction, and can cause death. From a pathophysiologic level, anaphylaxis is due to the release of mediators, from certain types of white blood cells, triggered by immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms.
This type of diagnosis is according to signs and symptoms, the image proves that its a serious reaction. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency, it may require resuscitation measures via air way management, supplemental oxygen, a large volumes of intravenous fluids and closely monitored.
Epinephrine is what the individual is treated with, also antihistamines. In some cases, a corticosteroid may be given as well. These injections serve to lessen existing symptoms and to halt progression of the reaction.
Prevention of recurrent reactions may be accomplished with desensitization shots; starting with an initially weak solution of insect extract, doses are gradually increased with each shot. This allows the body to build up tolerance to the effects of the insect venom.
One of the most common food allergies is a sensitivity to peanuts. Peanut allergies can be very severe; however its possible for children to outgrow them by the time they reach school age.
Tree nuts including pecan, pistachios, pine nuts, and walnuts, are common allergen. An individual that is very sensitive to allergies may be sensitive to one or many tree nuts.
Seeds such as sesame seeds, and poppy seeds, contain oils that proteins are present, the oils can trigger allergic reaction.
Egg allergies affects one to two percent in children, but are swiftly outgrown by the age of five. The risk factors of allergies are labeled in two categories, host biology, a host is a living cell where a virus reproduces.
The next factor is natural environment-an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species.Immunization is a process that fortifies the immune system against an agent known as antigen, molecules that are foreign to the body.
The most magnificent things of the immune system, which is improved by immunization, are the B-cells, the B-cells job is to produce antibodies against antigens.
Immunization can be achieved by two means, active and passive. Vaccination is an active form of immunization.Active immunization can occur naturally, if a person come in contact with a microbe, and has not been inoculated, such as Passive immunity.
The immune system in a healthy body can and will eventually create antibodies, and other defenses against the microbe.
Passive immunization has a process where antibodies can be used for immunity,this method of immunity will work quickly, but it doesn't last long, because the body is not producing B-cells.
The antibodies are naturally broken down, and the immunization will disappear. Passive immunity occurs physically when the mother's antibodies are transferred to the child during pregnancy.
Artificial passive immunity is usually administered by injection, this method is also used if there has been an outbreak of a particular disease.

This is an ethnographic work original created for an anthropological academic project for my degree. I chose the title "Indie In The City" for the front cover to convey my illustrations of the journey I took as a young adult, woman, and musician through the exploration and experimentation I experienced with my band, friends, and community that lye just beyond the first few pages. To paint a larger, clearer picture of this community I have included interview segments of a few of my most well respected and established women musicians, both borned and raised in the Greater New Orleans area, that highlight their own trials and tribulations through life, music, and th city.

Most retail stores have a goal in mind: to get you to spend a lot of money. When you are buying items for infants and young children, they quickly outgrow clothes and toys. You can save a lot of money by shopping second hand stores. There are several full time children's consignment stores in the Lynchburg area. But twice a year, there's another place to find clothing, toys and other items for kids at very reasonable prices.
Friends Maria and Julia started Kidz Kraze in 2009. Their first seasonal sale brought 40 consignors selling many products to Lynchburg parents. The Kidz Kraze Fall Consignment Sale, Aug. 16-23, will have over 400 consignors and over 40,000 items for sale.
The Kidz Kraze Fall Consignment Sale is being held in the Fort Hill Shopping Center, 6015 Fort Avenue, in Lynchburg. There's a wide variety of everything including clothing in sizes NB-16, shoes for kids of all ages, maternity clothing, furniture, strollers, high chairs, toys, books, games and more. There is pre-sale event on Saturday, Aug. 16, for first-time parents. New parents can register at the website for this event.
The clothing racks are sorted by size with boys and girls clothes on separate racks. There are also racks with maternity clothes, winter items and children's designer clothes.
Public hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16. On Sunday, Aug. 17, Kidz Kraze Fall Consignment Sale hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale closes for restocking on Monday, Aug. 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and reopens for a special sale. During the 7-9 p.m. Monday benefit pre-sale, there is a $5 admission fee which is donated to the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center.
Tuesday through Thursday, Aug. 19-21, hours are 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Friday, Aug. 22, many items are reduced 25 percent from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kidz Kraze reopens on Friday from 5:30-7:30 p.m. for a half-price pre-sale for volunteers and consignors. The sale concludes on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. with many items reduced 50 percent.
Consignors are asked to donate any items left to the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center or other worthy cause. Maria and Julia are in this venture to help other moms and the larger community. Along with the sale, there are bins to collect teddy bears and other gently used animals to donate to the Teddy Bear Brigade, an organization providing animals to children touched by poverty, natural disasters, illness, abandonment, and war.
The Kidz Care program is another offshoot of the Kidz Kraze sale. Teachers from local schools and day cares provide information about children in need. Local families can sponsor a child by buying several clothing outfits, a pair of shoes, a book, and a toy at the sale. Kidz Kraze will take care of getting the items delivered to the children.
Whether you are a parent or grandparent, you won't want to miss the opportunity to save money on items you want or need for the children in your life at the Kidz Kraze Fall Consignment Sale, Aug. 16-23. All who visit are asked to donate a non-perishable food item which will be donated to an area food bank.

Jenny McCarthy has always been vocal when it comes to her only son, Evan. On Monday, the 41-year old co-host of The View used her short-lived forum on the daytime talk show to talk about the fact that her son, who was diagnosed with autism at age three, is being bullied at summer camp.
According to a July 21 report by People, McCarthy also revealed that her 12-year-old child has no idea that he's being bullied. While McCarthy's son has already told her no one sits with him at the cafeteria, she added that he'll do anything to earn the attention of his tormentors.
"It's so wonderful that he's not aware that kids are making fun of him. But at what point do I need to teach him that?" McCarthy asked her View co-stars. "Evan told me, 'They ask me to put bugs down my pants and I do it and they laugh.' He thinks it's funny. Do I just let him be? At what point does it stop? In high school they'll be like, 'Here drink this?' 'Okay!' "
McCarthy said that the camp alerted her that the kids her son believes are his "friends" have actually been bullying him all summer.
The former MTV star has talked publicly about her son's autism for years, initially pointing a finger at the aggressive childhood vaccination schedule and making her anti-vaccine stance well known. At one time she hinted that her son was healed via a diet of gluten-free foods, B-12 shots and vitamins. In 2007, McCarthy said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey: "The University of Google is where I got my degree from. My science is named Evan."
But a 2010 article by Time compared the boy's symptoms to those of the rare childhood neurological disorder Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and a later story by Radar Online inaccurately claimed that McCarthy changed her position on her son's diagnosis.
Earlier this year McCarthy slammed rumors that she ever denied her son's diagnosis. In January, she took to Twitter to confirm that her son was diagnosed with autism by the Autism Evaluation Clinic at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital and was confirmed by the State of California.
"The implication that I have changed my position, that my child was not initially diagnosed with autism (and instead may suffer from Landau-Kleffner Syndrome), is both irresponsible and inaccurate," she wrote. "Continued misrepresentations, such as these, only serve to open wounds of the many families who are courageously dealing with this disorder."
The departing View co-host will still have a forum to talk about topics close to her heart; McCarthy launched her new Sirius XM radio show last week.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed the Liverpool squad that departs for Russia today will contain most – if not all – of the club's senior stars.
The boss utilised the earlier rounds of the Europa League to give the team's youngsters a chance to gain experience of continental football.
However, with the competition now in its knockout stages, Rodgers insists the Reds will name a strong line-up against Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday evening.
He told Liverpoolfc.com: "I want to go in as strong as we can. I think we're on the down slope now - we've only got 12 games in the league and hopefully we can progress in the Europa League. We'll be looking to go strong.
"The Sunday game [our rearranged clash with Swansea] hasn't helped us, if I'm being perfectly honest.
"We weren't due to play Swansea until the following week and I would have thought that after that was the best time to play that game.
"On the back of the players playing international games and two tough games away to Arsenal and Manchester City, it's something we'll need to look at.
"But there certainly won't be wholesale changes as there were in the earlier rounds because this is a competition that we want to be strong in and we've now only got two opportunities to get through to the next round.
"We'll assess and see how the group is, but the majority of the squad will travel."
Two men who won't be involved are January signings Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho.
The duo are ineligible to figure for the Reds in the Europa League having featured already for Chelsea and Inter Milan in Europe this season.
Rodgers explained: "Because of being involved with Chelsea in the Champions League and then them dropping down into the Europa League, it makes Daniel ineligible to play in the competition for us.
"Likewise, it's the same for young Philippe Coutinho, so those two miss out - but it's an opportunity for others to come into the group and hopefully prove their worth."
Having been eliminated from both domestic cup competitions, the Europa League represents Liverpool's last chance of silverware in Rodgers' maiden season at the Anfield helm.
The Northern Irishman insists it's a tournament Liverpool will be going all out to try and win.
"It's always been a real focus to do well in it, but obviously it's now the last trophy we can aim for this season, so there's no doubt the focus is narrowed into it," he said.
"Earlier in the season, because of the size of our squad, we had to try and manage the group games and that bore fruit for us because some of our young players got good experience in the tournament and we ended up coming out on top of the group.
"The Capital One Cup was a competition where it was an opportunity for the younger players to play and even though we wanted to do well in it, at that stage it wasn't a priority.
"But certainly going forward, every competition for us is vitally important, whether it's the league, the domestic cup competitions or the European games because the history of this great club has been built on those great successes and that's something we want to maintain."
While Liverpool's trip to Russia represents the second of three games in the space of a week, Zenit are currently in the midst of a winter break.
Nonetheless, the Reds' scouting network have still been able to do their homework on our opponents and Rodgers knows they will provide a stern test.
"They've played some games since [going on the break]," said the manager. "We had them watched in their training camp when they went away, so it hasn't stopped us doing our homework and analysis of the opponent.
"Chris Davies, our head of opposition analysis, went out to watch them play in a couple of friendly games.
"So they might not be up to total match speed because they don't actually play their next competitive game until March, but they've certainly got some top players there that will provide a real test for us."
Temperatures in St Petersburg are likely to plunge well below zero, while the pitch at the Petrovsky Stadium is likely to suffer because of the harsh winter conditions.
Rodgers knows what kind of qualities his players will need to display if they're to obtain a positive outcome.
"Character - that will be the name of the game," he said. "But it's certainly something the players are used to here in Britain, and there's just been a cold spell of late.
"Any game away from home is always a test of the character within your group and team. I am confident with the players we have, our senior players, we've got real characters in there. It's the first leg and we want to make sure we put on a good performance and take a positive result back to Anfield."
Since arriving at Anfield in June, Rodgers has immersed himself in the club's history and tradition.
So how eager is he to emulate some of the club's greatest nights of the past and bring European success back to Anfield?
"Very - that's what this great club is about," replied Rodgers. "But I am also realistic and know it won't happen straight away.
"This is a wonderful club - you go through the real traditions and the players that have been created and made history here. I look at all the managers closely that have been here.
"It's a club that is steeped in that tradition and hopefully in my time here we can add to that collection."

Leader of $6.7 Million Mortgage Fraud Scheme Sentenced
|U.S. Attorney's Office November 21, 2011
The leader of a $6.7 million mortgage fraud scheme involving a home in Gates Mills, Ohio, was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison, said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
Two others involved in the scheme were also recently sentenced—one to 2 ½ years in prison, the other to eight months house arrest followed by more than two years of supervised release.
Louis Amir, age 40, who last resided in Gates Mills, Ohio, was sentenced to 151 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi and ordered to pay restitution totaling $6,592,637 to four mortgage lenders.
Amir has been in federal custody since October 2010 when an indictment was filed against him. A jury found him guilty this year on all 21 counts against him, including one count of conspiracy, six counts of wire fraud, 13 counts of money laundering, and one count of perjury in a bankruptcy proceeding.
Deirdre Ferguson, age 47, of Beachwood, Ohio, was sentenced to three years' probation with the first eight months to be served on home detention with electronic monitoring. Ferguson was also ordered to make restitution totaling $6,592,637. Ferguson pleaded guilty on August 25, 2011, to one count each of conspiracy and aiding and abetting money laundering.
Daphne Stokes, age 46, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, was sentenced on November 8th to 30 months' incarceration followed by three years' supervised release. Stokes was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $6,649,937 to four mortgage lenders and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. She pleaded guilty on September 1, 2011, to one count each of conspiracy, aiding and abetting money laundering, theft of government funds and misuse of a Social Security number.
The indictment alleged that during December 2006 and January 2007, Louis Amir, aided and abetted by Daphne Stokes and Deirdre Ferguson, fraudulently applied for and obtained six mortgage loans from four lenders totaling approximately $6.7 million to finance the purchase of a residence at 1860 Surrey Place, Gates Mills, Ohio. The indictment alleged that Amir had purchased the residence for approximately $2 million. The indictment further charged that the defendants delayed filing the warranty deed relating to the purchase of the residence to avoid detection of their fraudulent scheme. The indictment further alleged that the defendants caused the mortgage lenders to issue loans far in excess of the true market value of the Gates Mills property. The indictment alleged that, as a result of this fraudulent scheme, the lenders sustained losses totaling about $6.7 million.
The indictment also included 13 money laundering counts pertaining to financial transactions conducted by Amir with the proceeds of the mortgage fraud scheme. These transactions included issuing a $100,000 check to Ferguson, issuing three checks totaling $65,000 to Stokes, and paying off Stokes' mortgage of approximately $87,000. Other money laundering transactions in the indictment included Amir's payments of approximately $103,000 to purchase a Bentley automobile and nearly $164,000 to lease a Rolls Royce, as well as purchasing plasma televisions, speakers, and accessories for about $96,000.
The indictment also charged Amir with committing perjury on November 10, 2008, in connection with a proceeding in his name in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio.
The indictment also charged Stokes with theft of government funds relating to assistance payments she received totaling $57,300 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Finally, the indictment alleged that Stokes provided a false Social Security number to Huntington National Bank in December 2005 to obtain a $20,800 loan to purchase a Mercedes Benz.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Bridget M. Brennan and John D. Sammon, following a joint investigation by the Cleveland Offices of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Inspector General.

Digital Intermediates
Plenty has been written in the past few years about digital intermediates and the DI work flow, but my first indication that this DI turtle might be hungry came when I happened upon a discussion board with scores of threaded entries by professionals who work with or around DIs simply trying to agree on an answer to the question: What is a digital intermediate? Is the term a nod to the film intermediates the DI might replace, or simply a label for anything digital and "in the middle?" What if the project is shot in HD? What if it's not destined for a filmout? It's all up for discussion.
With the self-assurance of a man with nine remaining fingertips, I've lifted liberally from the thinking of others and constructed a definition we can use here today.
A digital intermediate is a representation of acquired visual content in the form of digital data files that allow potentially lossless manipulation of images with the goal of creating a universal master that, with minimal subsequent adjustment, is ready for output in a variety of distribution formats and digital archives.
Or you can go with the description offered by Efilm Digital Laboratories' Steve Scott: "The DI is film's best friend."
IO Film, a full-service DI film finishing facility in Hollywood, used Digital Vision's Nucoda Film Master DI system to complete the 2
DI conform and color-grading processes.
Scott, whose impressive credits as a supervising digital colorist include recent movie releases such as
Lemony Snicket
The Wedding Crashers
, explains, "Because the latitude you have in film is just so incredible, the digital intermediate is one of the best reasons to still shoot on film." Compared to the rudimentary chemical color-correction process, a DI allows today's colorists to do highly refined and selective color enhancement in layers of overlapping windows, defined by keys and traveling mattes-the same abilities enjoyed for years by computer artists, video editors, and commercial and music video directors who typically finish their films on video. However, not all film work is destined for filmout. Commercial and music video directors tend to shoot on film and finish on video. "This is the first time in the history of film that we've actually been able to delve into the secrets that have been hidden in the negative."
"I can't remember a film that I've done that I wouldn't want to do over again in the DI." That's an especially powerful avowal coming from Steven Poster the cinematographer who shot
Donnie Darko, Stuart Little 2
, and at least two-dozen other films. "Having the ability to control the image after it's made, to do more than just color timing, is a real blessing. It allows me to do that much more to direct the audience's eyes within the image."

College Hockey:Cornell Stifles BU in Round 1
ITHACA, N.Y. — The days of the classic Boston University-Cornell rivalry are long over, but with the two teams meeting for back-to-back games for the second straight season, each in the national rankings, it felt a lot like old times.
In fact, it was more like the really old times, in the late '60s, when Cornell dominated the rivalry while winning two championships.
At least for one game.
Saturday afternoon at Lynah Rink, No. 7 Cornell scored three first-period goals, then used a classic suffocating defense down the stretch to win, 4-1.
No, the teams weren't skating for ECAC tournament titles, or NCAA championships, but they are competing for possible positioning down the road, and the right to feel good about themselves. For one night, that right went to the Big Red.
"We're at the point now where we've received that [national recognition]," said Cornell coach Mike Schafer, "but it's more important — we came into the weekend thinking about two wins. That's our guys' mentality. We split there [last year], now we have them on home ice and it's our job to win both games. So we're only halfway done here. And they're a good team. I'm sure [BU] Coach [Jack] Parker will have his team ready to go."
Cornell's size and strength often dominates ECAC teams, but it wasn't as simple against No. 11 BU, used to facing tough opponents on a nightly basis. Instead, Parker felt it was just a well-played, hardworking win for the Big Red.
"The name of the game was how hard Cornell played in their own zone," said Parker. "They're not real physical as far as banging the [heck] out of you. But they possess the pick pretty well because they're tough and hard to push off the puck. Their effort has more to do with it than their size."
Sam Paolini had a goal and two assists, and Doug Murray had three assists for the Big Red (7-1, 5-1 ECAC). Dave LeNeveu stopped 24 shots, and allowed just one controversial goal to lower his miniscule goals against average a little closer to 1.00.
"I reallly needed a breakout [game]," said Paolini. "I knew it was going to come. It's just a matter of time. Things started clicking, the puck came my way a couple times. It was nice to get that off my back."
Stephen Siwiec started in goal for the Terriers, just his second career start, and stopped 19 shots in the loss. It was BU's first non-league loss of the season.
Up 3-1 entering the third period, Cornell allowed just seven shots, as BU was never able to mount sustained pressure or a consistent forecheck.
"We had the puck in their zone, but we didn't generate enough offensively because they did so well down low," Parker said. "I thought we'd have an easier time because usually we do a better job possessing the puck and getting to the net."
Said Murray, "What we did better than them was picking up sticks in front. They're a very good team at forcing the puck towards the net. A lot got thrown out the net, but not a lot of deflections and shots."
BU (7-4-2, 4-3-0 HEA) started with two power plays in the game's first five minutes. But with a 90-percent penalty kill entering the game, the Big Red were able to stifle the still-struggling Terriers attack.
"We're not poised back there," said Parker. "We have some guys who should be able to move the puck back there. We have a pretty good record considering we're pretty ineffective on special teams."
After killing off the power plays, Cornell soon got a couple of its own, and took advantage right away. A slap shot by Stephen Baby went off the right post and came right to Paolini, who held his ground and stuffed in the rebound.
"To start off having to kill four minutes against a team like that, it's a tough way to start," said Schafer. "I thought they had the momentum for three or four minutes after that, but our guys did a good job simplifying things and our power play jumpstarted us."
Paolini then set up the next power-play goal just a few minutes later, finding Matt Moulson all alone at the top of the crease. Paolini, usually the man parked in front for tip-ins, has moved away from the net more often on recent power plays.
"When they take Doug [Murray] and Stephen [Baby] away, I have to pop out more and become more of a threat," said Paolini, "and when I did that, they collapsed down on me and we were able to get it in front and get shots on net. I'm sure they'll adjust tomorrow."
Before the period was out, Paolini quickly helped make it 3-0 as the Big Red continued to pour it on. Paolini chipped it down the left wing, beat the defender to the puck, and set up Shane Hynes in front. Hynes again did a nice job standing his ground, and pumped the puck past Siwiec.
"Our coaching staff talked to us about that," said Paolini. "They like to step up and they don't like to give up the blue line. But if we just chip is past them and go in hard, they can be susceptible to 2-on-1s and stuff like that."
Parker said the first power-play goal was a fortuitous bounce, but was not pleased about the other two Cornell scores.
"The other two goals were bad plays defensively," said Parker. "One bad read and one bad cover. Nothing happened — then all of a sudden two goals. So you can't make mistakes like that."
BU got another two back-to-back power plays in the second period, and still hadn't cashed in until Brian McConnell shot one into a wide-open cage with LeNeveu lying on the ice. It's just about the only way anyone has gotten a puck past LeNeveu recently.
David VanderGulik had fallen on LeNeveu at the side of the net, and McConnell was able to wheel out with it and score before LeNeveu could scramble back in the cage. Referee Scott Hansen ruled that defenseman Mark McRae pushed VanderGulik into LeNeveu, and allowed the goal.
"Markie [McRae] said he didn't touch him," said LeNeveu. "His stick got caught between my pad and my leg and he pinned me down, laying on me. I thought the ref was going to take care of it, but he didn't and life goes on. We came back and we smothered them and we got the win, and that's all that counts."
Cornell then hunkered down, and didn't allow another power-play opportunity as it ground down the clock.
"Our guys did a great job getting right back at them," Schafer said. "Their defensemen can really skate and I thought we did a great job getting in their face and causing turnovers."
Said Murray, "They're a skilled team, I think they're better than their record shows. You have to keep it simple, not complicate the game, play hockey the way it's supposed to be played, no turnovers and go after them."
The two teams go at it again, Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.) at Lynah Rink.
Notes: This was BU's first trip to Lynah since 1993-94. … Cornell is 19-1-1 at Lynah over the last two years, including 5-0 this season. All five wins have been by at least three goals, by a combined score of 23-5. … Charlie Cook sat out the second straight game for Cornell with an ankle injury.

Banner Boswell named one of the top heart hospitals in the U.S.
SUN CITY, Ariz. (Nov. 4, 2013) – Banner Boswell Medical Center has been named one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals for 2014 by Truven Health Analytics.
The study examined the performance of more than 1,000 hospitals, recognizing those who provide outstanding care and set new standards in excellence for the health care industry.
"This honor is clearly the result of incredibly hard work by Banner Boswell leadership and staff to reduce variation and increase reliability for our cardiovascular patients," said Banner Health President and CEO Peter S. Fine. "With this recognition, Banner Boswell can be considered one of the nation's best providers of cardiovascular services."
In 2011 the nonprofit hospital worked with community partners including the Sun Health Care Transitions team and Cardiac Solutions to identify improvements the facility could make in the care and experience of its cardiac patients. "That work allowed us to redesign the way we care for our patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias throughout the continuum of care, from the hospital setting through discharge to home," said Lisa Frank, an associate administrator for Banner Boswell. "I believe that work resulted in the improvement of our program and ultimately led to this recognition."
In addition to implementing new ideas to improve patient care beyond the four walls of the hospital, Banner Boswell has replaced a cardiac catheterization lab and is building a new hybrid operating room, thanks to the philanthropic support of Sun Health Foundation. The new OR is due to open next fall, which will combine an operating room, Cath lab and X-ray suite in one location, better improving patient care.
The 15th annual study singled out the top 50 hospitals achieving superior clinical outcomes. Findings indicate that compared to their peers, top hospitals were quicker to release their patients: a half day sooner for heart attack, heart failure, and angioplasty cases, and a full day sooner for bypass patients. The 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals also spent roughly $2,000 less per bypass surgery and about $1,000 less per heart attack patient admitted.
The award is based on a quantitative study of more than 1,000 hospitals across the country by Truven. Hallmarks of these industry leaders include:
• Markedly better survival rates – particularly for patients receiving bypass surgeries and angioplasties
• Substantially lower complications
• Longer-term outcomes
• Lower readmission rates
• Followed recommended treatment protocols
• Greater efficiency – releasing patients sooner than their peers
• Managed clinical gains while keeping costs low.
"Being named among the nation's top 50 cardiovascular hospitals is truly an honor," said David Cheney, Banner Boswell's CEO. "We are committed to providing exceptional patient care and continue to improve services available for patients seeking cardiovascular treatment."
In addition to being named one of the nation's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals, Banner Boswell was recognized as one of the 100 Top Hospitals based on overall organizational performance for the second year in a row. Cheney said these recognitions are directly attributed to the hard work being done by Boswell team members, medical staff and volunteers.

The Supernatural Quotes in Twilight
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter. Paragraph)
Quote #19
[Bella to Edward:] "Are you sure you won't vanish in the morning?" I wanted this to be certain. "You are mythical, after all." (14.262)
Bella considers Edward a mythical creature. She has a hard time believing that he's actually real.
Quote #20
[Edward to Bella:] "He actually discovered a coven of true vampires that lived hidden in the sewers of the city, only coming out by night to hunt. In those days, when monsters were not just myths and legends, that was the way many lived." (15.242)
Edward tells Bella about how Carlisle hunted for vampires during his human life. Since the 1600s when he was a human, people have come to think of vampires as mythological creatures, rather than actual beings.

How To Avoid A Nip Slip And Other Boob Mishaps
- Published by
- Posted on
- Leave your thoughts
In a world full of nip slips and boob mishaps, it's hard not to fall victim…or is it?
Several of these common breast mishaps are easily avoidable if you take precaution in wearing the right undergarment for each outfit.
Cleavage always tries to steal the show at parties, and not always in a good way! Boobs spill out over expensive dresses ruining the sophisticated look it was intended to have. Many times it is the same key piece missing from almost everyone's evening wardrobe: a bra.
Slip & Slide:
We have all been there ladies, tugging and pulling all night long on our stupid strapless bra that won't stay up. Have you ever thought it may not be the right size? Many times the band is too loose, which causes it to slip. Also, many women may be relying a bit too much on bra adhesives and glue. These guys aren't meant to lift breasts — they simply ensure an outfit won't slip past the nipple. I suggest wearing both nipple covers AND a strapless bra to ensure even if the bra does slip, you will be covered. It will give you lift and shape your outfit.
There are ways to prevent this terrible mishap. Start by making sure the cup size is the right size. A too small cup will lead to bulges, spilling and of course popping out. A cup size that is too big will lead to gaping and a lack of support. Most wardrobe malfunctions can be avoided with a good bra fitting.
Is it cold in here or is it just me? Many women get embarrassed by this natural reaction to cold temperatures, but it's such an easy fix. Solve it by wearing a thicker bra or buy nipple pasties to use with thin or sheer bras.
Riding Up:
When your bra rides up your back, it's often because the back size of your bra is too big. Try a tighter hook so that your bra fits more snugly or lengthen the shoulder straps. If this is a no-go, go down a band size so that the strap fits tighter and more comfortably.
Strap Off:
If your bras straps are always falling try tightening the straps or use a bra with wider straps. If that doesn't work, your breasts might not be filling out the cups, so try going down a cup size. Look for styles where the straps are located in the middle of the cup, and not at the edges. You could try a racer-back style as well.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
What's wrong with this picture?
First, we get the latest of a series of studies telling us that Canadian baby boomers are doing a miserable job saving for retirement. Their plan seems to be to borrow heavily now and figure out the consequences later.
Next, we get our Prime Minister making a big-deal speech at the World Economic Forum saying that it is time to reform the system of entitlements in Canada and -- by the way -- don't figure that the Old Age Security system is going to be there.
Let's step back a bit.
The Bank of Canada has been saying all year that Canadians have too much debt and that the situation puts the economy at risk. Fair enough. Reacting to that, CIBC Economics came out with a study that uses a micro level study to figure out just who is holding the debt. What they found was that most people are doing okay, but that a subset of households are in debt and getting more in debt. More interesting, their data showed that those 'heavy debtors' (basically those with a debt to income ratio of over 1.6) were disproportionately over the age of 45. That segment of the population has been growing with the aging of the baby boomers, but the debts of the segment have apparently been growing more quickly.
Other studies, in the U.S. and in Canada, have basically shown the same thing. Boomers -- not all of them, but a clump -- have met some bad economic luck over their careers. They have experienced job disruptions and income stagnation too. They have also made lifestyle choices that are different than earlier generations. They have stayed in school longer (amassing debts), had kids later, and gotten divorced (and split up assets) more often than their parents generation. None of these things are consistent with building up retirement wealth.
If anyone needs a nice security blanket in retirement, it's them.
But then, the Prime Minister has a point too. With the aging population, the cost of maintaining the Old Age Security program is headed higher -- way higher. Some estimates say that it will cost the government triple in 2030 what it did in 2010. And OAS is not financed by workers through their careers -- it comes strictly from general government revenues. For sure, it is a good time to start the discussion about just how the government is going to pay for programs like that and not end up in some kind of Greece-type nightmare.
Of course, there is still time to turn everything around.
The boomers with the debt issues can start slashing expenditures, paying off debt and saving more. The government can make some changes now -- like raising the retirement age, which is what the UK recently did -- to finance programs. None of the choices are going to be painless, however.
The bottom line however, is that the no-plan people better come up with a plan because the Prime Minister has a plan for them or rather has plans to not have a plan for them.

Thanks for this!
We published "Dear God" in an earlier print edition [September, 1999] of Positive Atheism, as part of our ongoing theme of Songs Of Doubt, previously called Atheism In Music.
Since this song is almost impossible to format into lines and verses, and since I spent a lot of time formatting the print edition, I will format your letter according to the way I formatted the song in the print edition.

On the afternoon of Monday, October 19, the life of Tom Hipps, a long time Newschannel 7 personality and Daybusters morning show host, was celebrated.
Hipps passed away Thursday evening, just a few weeks after celebrating his 80th birthday.
It's hard to sum up the life of a man who accomplished so much. Tom was a noted musician, Korean War veteran, Purple Heart recipient, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
His former coworkers, here at WJHG, where he hosted and entertained audiences for nearly 30 years, remember him as a mentor.
"Everything I learned about TV, good or bad, came from Tom Hipps. Working with Tom, being around him, being subject to his charisma and personality and his way with people. He was just the ultimate entertainer and host. He could do it all," says Newschannel 7's Paris Janos.
If you would like to make a donation in Tom's honor, the family is asking they be made in his memory to the Bay County Humane Society, Panama City Beach Paws and Claws, and/or the Gulf Jazz Society.
