Hatchling's first trip
It's a sight that's as magical as new life.
YouReporter Joan Lorne shared video of a loggerhead hatchling that just emerged from its nest along Gulf Stream Beach.
The young turtle makes his way through the sand, trying to get its bearings. It turns once or twice, then makes its way to the ocean, following its instinct.
We are now in the peak of sea turtle nesting season along our coast.

Black America: stop the insanity
Remember that spiky-haired blonde lady fitness guru all over TV years ago? Her famous line was "Stop the insanity!" As a common sense thinking black conservative, I offer the same clarion call to fellow black Americans, "Stop the insanity!" Why do you continue sleeping with the enemy; voting for liberal Democrats whose policies imply that you are inferior, stupid and culturally immoral?
When the NAACP and Democrats claim that requiring a photo ID disenfranchises blacks, such implies we are stupid. For the life of me I do not understand why millions of blacks are not highly insulted by this absurd claim. Do blacks fly? Do blacks drive cars? Do blacks cash checks?
When Democrats and liberals accept over 70% out-of-wedlock births and fatherless households as a cultural norm in the black community, I am offended. http://bit.ly/1fo1iLd And yet, I am called a sellout.
Liberal Democrats policies and programs have destroyed the black family and continue to devastate the black community. Meanwhile, blacks vote monolithic for Democrats and politically beat up anyone, black or white, who offers common sense solutions. For crying out loud, stop the insanity!
God forbid that a black person dare to think outside of the liberals' we-be-simpleminded-blacks-in-need-of "gov-ment"-intervention-to-survive box. Blacks becoming successful the old fashion way, by earning it, does not cut it with Democrats and liberals. Liberal media and Democrats grab such uppity blacks by their afros and politically drag their black derrieres kicking and screaming back to the liberal Democrat plantation.
There, such blacks are strung up in the public square with their naked backs exposed; made an example for any other conservative leaning blacks contemplating their escape. Beaten, battered and broken black conservatives are flogged within an inch of their political life with countless articles and operative pundits calling them a stupid n*****, Uncle Tom and traitor to their race.
A prime example of a black overlord of the Democrat liberal plantation attempting to rein in a black escapee is North Carolina NAACP Chapter President Rev. William Barber. Black race-baiters typically use Black History Month and Martin Luther King Day to trash America for purposes of extortion.
In celebration of MLK Day, Rev. Barber called black conservative and Tea Party American Senator Tim Scott a puppet, saying, "A ventriloquist can always find a good dummy." http://bit.ly/1hAPLK6
Senator Scott is about applying common sense solutions to issues plaguing our country. Thus, once again, any black who does not view themselves as a victim of an eternally racist white America, entitled and in need of lowered standards and expectations is a dummy; a tool of white Republicans – a stupid self-loathing n*****. This is not an exaggeration.
I have been called these names and worse by Democrats and liberals for many years every time I suggest that blacks stop having babies out of wedlock, stop dropping out of school, stopping killing each other, stop blaming whitey and assume personal responsibility for their lives. Too me, this is true Black Empowerment.
I do not know what it is going to take for black America to see the light; to realize the betrayal of a majority of the modern civil rights coalition.

Comics Time: Keeping Two
Keeping Two
Jordan Crane, writer/artist
finite webcomic, 2001-?
Read it at What Things Do
That question mark up there is doing a lot of work. I remember following Keeping Two in serialized fashion...but I don't remember where. Were any installments in NON? Were they on Jordan Crane's old Red Ink website? Did he make minicomics of them? Was maybe some of it in Uptight? The comic's presentation on Crane's gorgeous webcomics-anthology site What Things Do bears the date "18 December 2001," but I have no idea what that means. I think that's when it started? I don't know when it ended. Hell, I don't know if it ended. But I'll get to that.
Anyway. Comic!
Jordan Crane's comics are Mary Poppins' maxim at work. The spoonful of sugar, and actually it's more like a dumptruck full, is Crane's art. His characters have the slightly disproportionate and adorable heads of children. They see the world through little dot eyes. They're drawn with a line so soft you wanna reach out and pet it. His omission of periods at the end of sentences gives even the dialogue a vulnerable, open feel.
Then the medicine comes along, and it's like one of those giant needles doctors admit in advance will hurt like hell. In the case of Keeping Two, the medicine is death. It's presented here with shocking directness. When a baby is stillborn, you see his corpse, see his weeping mother hold him and say "Oh my sweetie". When a dog dies, you see his body lying on the ground, eyes open, his owner's recounting of her discovery of her dead best friend staggered out over the course of countless word balloons as though every word is an agony. I hadn't read this stuff in a long time, and seeing it again knocked the wind out of me. It's brutal and unflinching.
The story itself is a multifaceted look at a young couple on a day when death touches their lives in several ways: Through the book the woman is reading, through the passing of an acquaintance and the death of the man's mom's dog, and finally in the head of the man as the woman takes too long to return from the video store. (Video stores: Sign #1 this comic was started up a long time ago.) In a way it reminds me of Richard McGuire's "Here," dazzlingly complex but centered on absence rather than presence and stretched out for an entire story. The couple's story is sequenced out of order, there are flashbacks, there are multiple perspectives on the same conversation, there's a story within the story, there are multiple daydream sequences, there are scenes imagining what the real scenes must have been like, there are lengthy "Scott McCloud explaining manga"-type sequences of washing dishes, there's an ending so open I'm not 100% convinced it is an ending...but it all circles around the direct and devastating image of a dotted-line silhouette where a person, a dog, a baby used to be, just like your mind does. That it's so lovely to look at doesn't soften the blow so much as aim it.

Yes, there were Keeping Two minicomics, and it has also appeared in Uptight.

Hi, guys : )
I am going nuts here. I am on CD75. I'm not sure that I trust where FF put my O day. I haven't charted a lot before, and I do realize there is a long gap in this chart where I didn't temp..it was right around Christmas and I just expect AF to show up and stopped temping. I am 7.5 months pp...my daughter was born at 35w2d and passed away shortly after birth.
Anyhow, if my O date might be wrong a few days either direction, then I would say I am more than likely preggo...but based on the O date, most likely not.
Any thoughts???

Old Navy will soon be slinking back to the locker room in shame, now that football fans have uncovered an embarrassing error on one of its sports T-shirts.
An NFL-themed T-shirt formerly for sale from the company declares the Houston Texans the "1961 AFC Champions." What's the problem? The Texans didn't win that title. It was the Houston Oilers, now the Tennessee Titans, that won the 1960 and 1961 championships of the American Football League.
In fact, the Houston Texans weren't even an extant team until 2002. Oops!
The Houston Chronicle reports that savvy employees spotted the error and bought some for posterity (and future eBay sales?), even pointing it out to shoppers who tried to purchase the shirt.
It gets worse for Old Navy (and its quality consultant?): there are other football flubs with the new line of tees, too,the Chronicle says. The Cleveland Browns shirt declares the Browns as 1964 AFC champions; the Browns, who now play in the AFC, won the NFL title that year. In addition (and we'll quote because our football knowledge is admittedly subpar): "shirts for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs proclaimed them as NFL champions for the 1968 and 1969 seasons. Both won Super Bowls that year, but they did so as members of the AFL."
A company spokesperson told ESPN that it would be pulling the shirts from the stores. At the time of writing, the shirt seems to have disappeared from Old Navy's website, thought it was still up as late as 8 p.m. Sunday.
The mislabeled tee isn't Old Navy's first football T-shirt fumble. Last year, a series of college football tshirts debuted with a serious grammar mistake.
Scope out the erroneous tee below, and read more over at the Houston Chronicle.

MEDINA — A 71-year-old Hinckley Township man accused of robbing a Brunswick bank in February will be released from the Medina County Jail because of his deteriorating health.
Hugh G. Crouch Sr., of 1439 Ridge Road, was being held in the jail on $2 million bond, charged with aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony; felonious assault, a second-degree felony; failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony; and possession of criminal tools, a fourth-degree felony.
Police said Crouch robbed almost $30,000 from Huntington Bank, 3630 Center Road, and led officers in a high-speed chase into Medina, where his pickup was stopped after sideswiping a police cruiser on North Court Street.
Crouch is expected to be released later this week to his Ridge Road home, where he will be under house arrest and cared for by his adult daughter, Tia Crouch, who is a nursing aide, and her brother and boyfriend.
"He knows who I am, but I'd still have to feed him and take him to the bathroom," Tia Crouch told Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler at a Monday hearing. "I'm just glad he'll be with us. It means something being with family."
Kimbler issued the furlough under three conditions: Crouch will be placed under house arrest, he will not have access to any keys, and he only may leave the premises for medical treatment.
Crouch's attorney, Bob Campbell, said his client's health began deteriorating after he was arrested.
"When I was first assigned to Mr. Crouch, he could walk down to visitation on his own," Campbell said. "He's in a much, much worse condition now."
Psychiatric nurse Tom Huggins, who works at the Sheriff's Office, told Kimbler, "He can't even stand on his own anymore. Frankly, I think he's going to continue to decline."
Crouch has dementia and other serious ailments, said his wife, Carol Crouch.
While in jail, she said he was admitted to the hospital to address those problems and was discharged about two weeks ago. Since then, she said he's been weak and delirious.
"He's laying in a hospital bed in a jail practically ready to die," Carol Crouch said. "The jail is not facilitated to take care of a patient like that."
Because of her husband's condition, she accused the Sheriff's Office of "senior abuse."
Sheriff Tom Miller said his office was doing the best it could: He hired additional nursing staff and placed some personnel on overtime to monitor the man's care.
"We're following an individually prescribed care plan for Mr. Crouch," Miller said, "and are cognizant in providing him the best possible care."
Miller was hesitant to give details, citing privacy laws, but said he personally checked on Crouch twice Monday to assess his condition.
At the hearing, county Assistant Prosecutor Matt Razavi said he had to oppose the request for furlough.
"This causes the state a lot of concern," he said, pointing to the severity of Crouch's charges. "Absent someone saying he's incapable of doing it again, the state is uncomfortable releasing him."

How would you like to save a "sole" this holiday season?
DTAIBAI (Don't Talk About It, Be About It), a Jacksonville, Fla. based community outreach foundation committed to providing resources and assisting families in need both locally and globally, is prolonging lives one "sole" at a time. And they are inviting you to help.
The 501(c)(3) non-profit is presenting its Second Annual "Shoes-4-Smiles" outreach charity drive in an effort to help warm the homeless of all ages in Jacksonville's shelters. They are asking for donations of unworn or slightly worn shoes, socks, gloves, knit hats and scarves, which will be distributed to shelters on December 22.
"DTAIBAI needs a great deal of assistance spreading the word among all of Duval County's businesses, charitable organizations, churches and schools," said Rachel Betts, DTAIBAI founder and president. "The more people who know about it, the more people we can help."
Shoes-4-Smiles is DTAIBAI's third outreach event in five months. They held their Second Annual "Cuts-4-Smiles" event in August, providing free haircuts and schools supplies, and they dedicated November to helping elderly who reside in nursing and assisted living homes that are facing financial hardship through their "Assisted Smiles" event. The Assisted Smiles outreach collected adult diapers and provided "Debutante and Debonair beauty make-overs" for residents of nursing and assisted living homes.
"Giving back is a lifestyle," Betts said.
To make your unworn or slightly worn donations to Shoes-4-Smiles, or to donate adult diapers to "Assisted Smiles," contact DTAIBAI at 904-234-8659. You can also go to www.wegive.org/ and locate DTAIBAI to donate. Visit the DTAIBAI Facebook page at www.facebook/dtaibai.

Elena Villamil shot a career-best 70 on Sunday
Oct. 13, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas. (SMU) - The SMU women's golf trio of Jenny Haglund, Alexandra Rossi, and Maria Elena Villamil shot two-under 70s on Sunday afternoon to lead the team to a season-best four-under 284, good for fourth place after the first round of the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational at the University of Texas Golf Club.
Due to inclement weather in the area on Sunday morning, the first round teed-off with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.
"We played stress-free golf, picked up big targets on the course and let it go out there today," head coach Jeanne Sutherland said. "It was great to have three players shoot personal bests today. I thought we did a good job of setting ourselves up for birdie situations out there, and we made some putts to take advantage of those opportunities."
The Mustang trio is in 11th in the 96 player field. Villamil, a senior in the Mustang program, carded her career-low in the 84th round of her four-year career. The Spanish International, who started on the 16th hole on Sunday, shot three-under on the final eight holes to finish at two-under.
Rossi's output was her season-best in the early stages of her second campaign with the program, as the Mustang sophomore finished her afternoon with three birdies and a bogey on her scorecard. Haglund had five birdies on the afternoon, including going two-under on her final nine holes.
Freshmen Lindsey McCurdy and Katie Page turned in a pair of two-over 74s to complete the team scoring for SMU on Sunday. Page, who made her collegiate debut on Sunday afternoon, managed the course, keeping her scorecard clean with just three bogeys on the day. McCurdy's 74 comes in the second tournament of her young career, finishing the day with four birdies, including three on the front nine.
SMU is scheduled to begin its second round at 8:54 a.m. CT on Monday.

Oh, the agony. "I can't see — without observing," is the haunting mantra which begins and ends Rad Hourani's new addictive short film for SHOW Studio's Future Tense project. The untitled flick, all written, directed and narrated by Hourani himself, is a backstage look into the restless intellectual within us all. Its manic-depressive incantations — "I can't breathe without thinking," "I can't move without controlling" — get set to a dissonant Hourani-composed score of piercing (but not too piercing) bells and torturous drums. And model Jamie Johnsen plays a perfect troubled ghost . . . in signature sleek Hourani black, of course. Spooky. View it at showstudio.com.

What is Laravel?
Laravel is a relatively new PHP framework which uses the MVC architecture.
Why use Laravel?
Good question. Lately I've been looking into PHP frameworks to start a personal project of mine. In my last work project I used CodeIgniter, which was great, but I think it has room for improvement. CodeIgniter worked great for what I needed it to do for me, it was really easy to learn and easy to move into production. After trying Laravel though I feel like Laravel is a few steps ahead of the framework game.
Laravel is very well documented and easy to learn also. It is open source and released under the MIT license. There are many tutorials and screencasts on Laravel so the average web developer should have no troubles getting started on a project.
Tell me more!
You got it! Laravel uses a template system called Blade. Blade provides an easy and clean way to display php variables to your application/page. Blade also comes with some very handy functions such as forelse and unless. Example, in php if you wanted to loop through an array and display its contents you do the regular foreach. But if you wanted to display something else if the array was empty you would need to nest the foreach in an if statement and using proper formatting it gets messy quickly, that's where forelse comes in. Forelse is a Blade function that will act like php foreach statement unless the array is empty then it gets directed to the @empty statement. This is structured the same way as an if else statement so it looks much cleaner. Check out the Blade documentation for other great control structures.
Another great feature is the Eloquent ORM. This enables you to create simple CRUD statements of a database table with a single line. You'll have to watch a video on it to see it's real power but it's worth using Laravel for that feature alone considering how much time it will save.
Then there is Fluent's database access. This is much like CodeIgniter's Active Record implementation but all the same it is a great way of writing database queries.
If you're starting a PHP project, check out Laravel, you'll be glad you did.

"The Great Divorce" to open April 11
"The Great Divorce," a play adapted from the C.S. Lewis novel, will show April 11–12 at 8 p.m. in Culbertson Auditorium on the campus of Sterling College. The show will feature the final work of two seniors, director Kyle Davis of Hoisington, Kan., and costumes designer Megan Reed of Mulvane, Kan. The box office opens on show nights at 7 p.m. and doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.
"The Great Divorce," by C.S. Lewis, is an allegorical story in which the narrator, Lewis, finds himself in the "grey town," which can be hell or purgatory depending on how long one stays. Lewis eventually finds a bus that takes him to heaven. Along the way, he meets up with George MacDonald, who is his mentor. MacDonald becomes Lewis's guide and tells him that he can choose to stay in heaven. Along the ride to heaven, Lewis meets up with other characters who have to overcome their sins in order to reach heaven. Lewis must make the decision to stay in either heaven or hell. "The Great Divorce" was adapted by George Drance and the Magic Theatre Company.
"The show is unique due to the intimacy that the audience will encounter with this production, which allows them to be right next to the action. I believe that this will help the audience travel along with Lewis as he explores the decision that lies before him," said Davis.
"My favorite part about directing 'The Great Divorce' has been the ability to grow along with the actors and designers. Taking an idea and turning it into a message that can be conveyed to the audience is one of the greatest opportunities that I have had the pleasure of being a part of at Sterling," said Davis.
While at Sterling, Davis has served as the lighting designer for the theatre, designing the lighting for "South Pacific," "Medea," "Children of Eden," and "The Glass Menagerie." He has also been involved in other aspects of technical theatre such as carpentry and sound.
The cast of "The Great Divorce" includes Elijah Klein of Valley Center, Kan., as Lewis; Tate Strasner of Mount Hope, Kan., as George MacDonald; Travis Norton of Liberal, Kan., as Big Man/Reginald; Raven Taylor of Wichita, Kan., as Well Dressed Woman/Waspish Woman; Cody Green of Wichita, Kan., as Artist Ghost/Bilker; Cody Martin of Hutchinson, Kan., as Light Spirit; Chelsey Moore of Wichita, Kan., as Female Ghost/Screamer; Jacob Blackwell of Salina, Kan., as Lizard/Intelligent Man; David Spencer of Lyndon, Kan., as Fire Angel/Waterfall; Darsha Bechard of Belleville, Kan., as Bitter Ghost/Tousled Headed Youth; Emily Walker of Sterling, Kan., as Sara/Spirit 1; Chloe Vierra of Lyons, Kan., as Pam/Grumbler; Carlton Ryker of Wichita, Kan., as Cultured Man/Frank; Shiloh Duff of Scott City, Kan., as Bright Youth/Spirit 2; Shane Rogers of Wichita, Kan., as Nervous Man/Whiner; Nathan Ehresman of Wichita, Kan., as Bus Driver; Bridgette Gibbs of Hutchinson, Kan., as Bright Woman/Extra; and Nate Sizemore of Clearwater, Kan., as Tragedian.

The SXSW Interactive Awards competition offers entrants an opportunity to showcase their creative works and provide exposure for works that may not have had the opportunity to make a splashy launch. In 2009, The Bygone Bureau took home the Interactive Award for the Blog category (which has since folded into the Personal category).
"It was my first glimpse into the tech world," Bygone Bureau editor Kevin Nguyen says. " It was daunting at first, especially as college seniors who had only interacted with that world through the internet. But me and my co-editor Nick [Martens] made a lot of friends. I've been back to Interactive almost every year since, most recently as a panelist."
For Nguyen and Martens, winning a Web Award -- as the competition was known back then -- proved something, for both their project and for themselves.
"The Web Award was definitely legitimizing, not just to people who had never heard of The Bygone Bureau, but also to ourselves," Nguyen says. "We were college kids, just doing something we loved in our free time… We never thought anyone would appreciate a site that ran long-form essays about arts and technology.
"The award affirmed that what Nick and I were doing didn't mean something to just us, but to other people as well."

The Minutemen led by as many as 27 points (57-30) with seven minutes to play as the coach Steve Lappas used his subs freely.
Columbia (2-11) lost its fourth straight. Dodson Worthington, with 8 points, was the leader for the Lions, who shot 30.4 from the field compared to UMass's 43.9.
Also helping the Minutemen was Michael Lasme, with 13 points and 9 rebounds.
UMass scored the first nine points of the game and 6:27 elapsed before Marco McCottry hit the first basket for Columbia.
The Lions were 4-for-25 (16 percent) from the field before the break.
By the midway mark of the half, UMass had an 18-5 lead. Rogers had 14 of his
points before the break.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
On Monday I posted my ground-eye view of the state's local Democratic campaign. Now, we're through the other side and lots of people are examining what went right and, though you might not see it, anything that went wrong. (People love a success and cluck at a failure, after all.) After the Coakley disaster, the state Democratic party, headed up by John Walsh, did some serious soul searching. Since grassroots campaigning is Walsh's stock in trade, I'm not sure that there was much he could have done during that January, 2010 special election, if the candidate wasn't accepting advice. And certainly, Coakley, while a smart prosecutor and an OK stumper, was not the sort of candidate to inspire the grassroots to action in the middle of a cold month and a short lead time.
But examine it the party did anyway, and came up with the coordinated campaign idea. In 2010, the coordinated campaign reelected Deval Patrick to the Governorship in the middle of a pretty tough year for incumbents, and the "red wave" that swept the rest of the country largely passed us by, losing the Dems only some seats in the House and gaining them one in the state Senate. Even the gains for Republicans (15 to 30 state House seats) weren't enough to disturb the Dem supermajority.
I worked on that campaign a bit in 2010, and there were some bugs to work out with the coordinated campaign. For instance, there was always tension between turning out voters for local races that might not vote for Patrick, and vice versa. Everyone worked together, but there was some grumbling. When the results of working together became apparent (fewer losses in MA, a reelection for Patrick despite the economy), I think those concerns were alleviated. The efficiency of shared resources overcame the peculiarities of local vs. statewide campaigns.
So now, in 2012, I saw the Coordinated Campaign v2.0. It was smoother, and so far as I saw, no grumbling. I think Tierney can thank the coordinated campaign for winning back his seat in a race he was expected to lose - turning out the Dem vote for Warren (and Obama, though that was not the emphasis) had to have helped him overcome the strong challenge from Tisei.
Grassroots campaigns need a lot of things. First and foremost, exciting candidates, especially at the top of the ticket (but all the way down helps). That's how you get people interested in volunteering. In the Lowell Dem campaign, of course I saw a lot of the old hats, people who are always around. But I met a big slate of dedicated (by dedicated, I mean every day dedicated) first-timers. And when you coordinate a campaign up and down ballot, not only are you getting the "coattail" effect from having great candidates up the ticket, like Obama or Warren, but you get their volunteers as well.
And caring about the downticket races does a few things. It links resources together, but also people. It increases the footprint of each campaign since it works together. And it helps to increase the Democratic (and hopefully progressive) bench of candidates that in the future might want to run for higher office.
Of course, it also helps that this was a Democratic year. People were fed up with the extremism of the national Republican party, and enabling them by sending Congress more Republicans, even if they were/pretended to be moderates, was something the voters across the country didn't feel like doing. But every race which won did it with the hard work of grassroots campaigns, from Obama (whose presence in MA was nonexistent for the most part, but ask NH) down to our Senate race, and below. Let's face it, Niki Tsongas was a shoe-in for reelection against Golnik. I mean, 35% seems to be his ceiling. But she, and her campaign, worked really hard in the coordinated campaign office in Lowell. As did Eileen Donoghue's, another shoe-in against conspiracy-nut Jim Buba.
As I said, success stories get lots of praise, and the Globe does its share:
The vaunted machine flexed its considerable muscle with a ground game that reclaimed the US Senate seat in Massachusetts, while salvaging the campaign of Representative John F. Tierney, on a night when every congressional seat in New England went to a Democrat or an independent.
"Here's the reality: There has been a wipeout of the GOP in the Northeast," said Todd Domke, a Republican strategist. "And it's been particularly bad in Massachusetts."
In addition to their congressional successes, the Democrats picked up four seats in the Legislature.
The Democrats were aided by a strong get-out-the-vote effort in Massachusetts and the experience of activists who had been coordinating since Deval Patrick's grass-roots win in 2006.
I sort of object to the term "machine" in that it has negative connotations. The grassroots coordinated campaign was not negative in the slightest. It was full of optimistic, hopeful, excited people that I was privileged to work alongside. There wasn't some sort of top-down from-on-high force coming down on the local campaigns. When you think of "Mayor Menino's machine" for instance, it's usually seen in a sort of negative light.
As to the last sentence, I would definitely say experienced activists were a factor…but in all honesty, we were outmatched by vivacious newcomers who put us to shame in a lot of cases. Which tickled me seven ways to Sunday - the next time there's a great candidate, they may well come back again!
All in all, Chairman John Walsh and the Warren campaign staffers deserve so much credit for what they've put together. And the first thing they will tell you is that they don't deserve it - the volunteers do. That is why these kinds of campaigns keep winning here in Massachusetts. There's a trust in the power of people to take initiative and get out there.
I think the basking will happen for another day or so and then we'll get back to the hard work. Coming up are some hard choices both at the state level and nationally. I know we're sending the best back to Washington to help get it done.
It's been two days since the victory and I've still got my victory buzz going.

When Prozac Nation was published in 1994, the catchy title was a serious exaggeration. Now it couldn't be more apt. Doctors today dole out antidepressants as if they were Halloween candy, using them to treat everything from blue moods to hot flashes to low back pain. And women are their best customers. Nearly one quarterof women ages 40 to 59 are on Prozac or another anti-depressant, a far greater percentage than in any other age group, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Behind that astounding figure lies a disturbing fact: For several conditions, the case for antidepressants is iffy at best; they aren't even effective across the board in treating depression, the illness they were designed to alleviate, and may not relieve the other problems—such as migraines—for which they are prescribed. Nor are these drugs risk free. "Antidepressants can be helpful under the right circumstances, such as when people are very seriously depressed or suffer from anxiety disorders. But you definitely don't want to take one if you don't have to," says Ramin Mojtabai, MD, PhD, associate professor in the department of mental health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Yet a significant number of women are using antidepressants when other treatments might be more effective and safer. Here, what you need to know so you and your doctor can determine if these drugs are best for you.
The Antidepressant Revolution
In 2011, American pharmacists filled 264 million prescriptions for antidepressants, up more than 25 million since 2007, according to IMS Health, a health care technology and information company. How did these drugs get so popular?
The first antidepressants—tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)—were discovered by happenstance in the 1950s, when doctors were looking for drugs to treat schizophrenia and tuberculosis, notes Alan Frazer, PhD, chairman of the pharmacology department at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. "Doctors noticed they lifted patients' moods," he says. But no one ever wrote a book called MAOI Nationor Tricyclic Nation, and here's the reason: Both now and when they were first introduced, MAOIs could cause serious, sometimes fatal reactions in users who eat foods like pepperoni and aged cheeses that contain the amino acid tyramine. And tricyclics are what pharmacologists call dirty drugs. "They bind to several receptors in the body and as a result cause unpleasant side effects, like dry mouth, blurry vision, drowsiness and weight gain," Frazer says. Even modest overdoses of tricyclics can be lethal, so the only MDs comfortable prescribing them were psychiatrists, who closely monitored patients.
The picture changed in 1988, when Prozac hit the market. It's an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), which means it prevents the neurotransmitter serotonin from being reabsorbed by brain cells, leaving more of it in the synapse between neurons. Prozac is a cleaner drug. "It has side effects, and the longer it's been on the market, the more those have become apparent. But there's almost no risk of overdosing," says Frazer. Over time, Prozac and its siblings became known as safe antidepressants, and that perception opened the door for doctors to prescribe them widely, not just for depression but also for a variety of other conditions. That makes many doctors nervous, for the following reasons.
Concern No. 1
Antidepressants are prescribed for many conditions besides depression and anxiety
When Andrea Burnett had trouble sleeping after breaking her back in a boating accident, her doctor prescribed Elavil, a tricyclic antidepressant that has a sedating effect but isn't approved by the FDA to treat insomnia. The drug knocked her out but caused terrible nightmares and hallucinations, so after two weeks she stopped using it. She finally got the relief she was looking for when she started taking Tylenol PM to help her sleep.

The cause of a two-alarm fire that caused extensive damage to a house south of Battle Ground on Wednesday morning was fireplace ashes left in a plastic bucket in the garage, an official said.
The fire was reported just before 11 a.m. at 20210 N.E. 104th Ave. in the Winterlake subdivision, near the Meadow Glade neighborhood. Residents were in the home when the fire started but were not injured, neighbors said.
Engine 27 from Clark County Fire & Rescue was the first unit on the scene. Firefighters found fire in the garage and second floor of the home, said Battalion Chief Tim Dawdy, Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman. The fire was "burning vigorously" and spread into the attic, he said.
Assistant Fire Marshal Richard Martin said Thursday evening that someone had placed fireplace ashes in a plastic bucket and left it on a piece of carpet similar to a floor mat.
The carpet caught fire and flames spread in the garage. The heat weakened the springs of a pull-down stairway to the attic, allowing it to open. Flames then flared up into the attic. Damage is estimated at least $200,000.
Fireplace ash must be placed in a metal bucket, preferably one with a tight-fitting lid. It then must be taken outside and left to cool where no combustibles are near, Martin said.

Like everyone in New Orleans, New Orleans Saints tight end Billy Miller woke up in a blur Monday morning.
Less than 10 hours after the Saints' thrilling 31-28 overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC championship game at the Superdome, he still was in a semi-state of shock after a long night of celebration with family, friends and teammates.
To relive the experience and help understand its magnitude, Miller sought his daily copy of The Times-Picayune shortly after returning home in the wee morning hours from a private team victory party at a Warehouse District restaurant. Miller was surprised to find it missing from the front lawn.
"I figured either they forgot it or they were as excited as we were last night," Miller said. "Maybe the paper delivery guy was out on Bourbon Street, and he was running a little late."
Undaunted, Miller hit several stops after dropping his kids off at school. His search proved futile.
"I went to about five different places, convenience stories, liquor stores, gas stations, anything I could stop at," Miller said. "Every single paper was out. They said they have been gone as soon as they were delivered. People were waiting for them."
Miller wasn't the only Saint who struck out in his quest to procure a journalistic chronicle of the biggest win in team history.
Strength and conditioning coach Dan Dalrymple tried a handful of spots along the route of his daily commute from the Northshore to the team's training facility in Metairie.
Longtime equipment manager Dan "Chief" Simmons said his wife called to tell him to pick up a copy or two because she hadn't seen theirs. Like all game nights, Simmons worked through the evening and next morning at the team's training facility and had not ventured out into the real world yet.
In fact, Monday's edition of The Times-Picayune might be the hottest selling item in town these days, hotter even than Garrett Hartley jerseys or those snazzy NFC champions caps the Saints players wore after the game.
You couldn't find a copy of the newspaper in or around town. Whether they were being snatched up as collectors' items, emotional keepsakes or meal tickets for eBay entrepreneurs, they were seemingly impossible to find.
The Times-Picayune anticipated the huge demand by printing an extra 18,000 copies in their early-morning Monday press run. The extra supply still wasn't enough to meet the insatiable demand.
All 12 racks in my neighborhood were empty.
Readers inundated the customer service desk at the Times-Picayune, seeking to buy extra copies. Others complained to the circulation department about having their home delivery copies stolen or undelivered.
Michael Marcello, 48, the owner of Lakeside News -- a venerable newsstand in Metairie next door to Morning Call -- anticipated the rush and still couldn't meet the demand.
He sells 100 copies of the paper in a typical day. By 10 a.m. Monday, he already had run through 900 issues and had his supplier desperately trying to find more.
"It was bigger than anything we've seen since 9/11 and the LSU football national championship (in 2003)," said Marcello, who thinks this issue can equal or better the 5,000-paper sales run of the Tigers' title game. "We could sell as many (of the Jan. 25 issue) as we could get our hands on."
Business was slow initially, Marcello said, but it heated up around 7:30 or 8 a.m. as the city stirred to life from the late-night celebration. It hadn't slowed down by mid-afternoon.
During a 10-minute stretch around 3 p.m., at least a dozen people asked for Times-Picayune copies or wandered in looking for them. The overwhelmed clerks plastered makeshift paper signs around the shop with the bad news -- "No Monday Issues of The Times-Picayune" inscribed in thick black magic-marker ink.
A Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Department officer stopped by and said his office had received several reports of stolen papers from angry subscribers who'd experienced a fate similar to Miller.
"What am I supposed to do?" he said incredulously. "It's a newspaper!"
A neighboring shop keeper said she was offered $15 for her copy.
"I think he was serious," she laughed. "I'm holding out for $50."
Don't laugh. She might get it.
By Monday evening, some Monday copies already were being sold for more than $25 on eBay.com.
To meet the demand, Times-Picayune officials agreed to print a limited number of extra copies for sale at various spots around town.
Miller hopes to pick up a copy this week.
Like so many of the veteran players on the roster, he understands and appreciates the significance of what occurred Sunday night. He hasn't played a down this season since tearing his Achilles tendon in the preseason, butt he still wants to preserve for posterity as much of the magical campaign as possible.
"I'm assuming that people are keeping them for keepsakes," Miller said. "You know what, I got to live the experience, so if the fans get to keep the newspaper to remember it then that's fantastic."

Using a 1954 era camera called the Zeiss Taxona, artist Michael Loderstedt has been documenting the transient light, weather, and vernacular details of his street in Cleveland, Ohio which borders Lake Erie.
This neighborhood, originally built of 1900's vacation homes for a German grocer's association, is now home to a group of contemporary lake lovers including the artist and his family.
Michael Loderstedt's work incorporates photography, printmaking, artists books and installation. His recent projects have examined the first European landing sites in the New World and "garden cities"; utopian urban communities from the early 20th century in both Europe and the United States. His most recent project, a large-format screenprint that when cut and folded creates a mid-century paper ocean liner complete with text in both German and English describing his own family's immigrant history. Loderstedt lives with his wife, photographer Lori Kella and their son Ethan in Cleveland, Ohio near the shore of Lake Erie.

San Francisco's Costco store in the South of Market on Folsom and 10th Streets is one of the most popular shopping spots on Sundays, but a lot of folks who are showing up there today on Easter Sunday will be disappointed.
Costco is closed every Easter Sunday. The San Francisco Costco store and all Costco stores nationwide will all be closed.
The warehouse giant will reopen on Monday.
Costco is open on some holidays but closed on others.
Costco holidays are Memorial Day, Labor Day, Independence Day (AKA 4th of July) Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Costco remains open on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day in January, Presidents Day and other holidays not mentioned above.
But once again, Costco stores (formerly Price Club) will be closed today, on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2014..
What do you think about Costco and other stores that have decided to close on Easter? Please leave your comments below. If you are a Costco shopper, will you go some place else to shop today or will you hold off on your purchase until Costco reopens after Easter?

My Seagate hard disk got bad sectors and wasn't usable any more. Seagate's SeaTools utility also indicates that. It was under warranty; so I returned that in Seagate SeaCare center and got a replacement drive within a few weeks. But even the replacement drive had the same problem of bad sectors and didn't even allow me to complete a Windows installation. So I visited the seagate service center one more time and got another replacement drive in a week's time. But to my surprise, that was faulty too and crashed during Windows installation. The SeaTools tests did confirm that both the replacement drives were indeed faulty.
Considering this I have following question for the community (and I hope I have chosen a right site out of stackexchange collection of sites):
I have read that these replacement drives are not brand new but only refurbished ones. (People at seacare center don't seem to have technical knowledge about it!) I wanted to know if that is really the case? And how can two replacement drives fail in a row?
More important question - do you think there might be anything wrong with my computer that's causing the disks to go bad so quickly? Whatever I know about computer hardware, this might not be the case. But I want to get opinions from experts out here before I decide to give up on my current disk and purchase a new one.

Pinge hamlet has a very beautiful natural panorama. The air is cool and comfortable as being free from pollution. Along the country road leading to the hamlet, we can see the neat courtyard, while the neighborhood is clean enough. Each telajakan (public area) is planted with flowers so that butterflies and birds can play and dance intimately in a peaceful rural atmosphere. Afternoon atmosphere will be comfortable. Small animals such as dog-day cicadas give a nuance of beautiful village. 'Arrogant' crows of roosters make our journey more comfortable. Then, familiar smile of the locals leads us to a convenient ambience to be here.
Pinge hamlet is about 1 km from the center of Tua village office, about 8 km from the Marga subdistrict town or 18 km from Tabanan town. The village is located at an altitude of 500-750 meters above sea level with a relatively flat topography and fertile land suitable for farming rice and vegetables. It has a number of unique cultural potential. There is Natar Jemeng temple that stores some objects of the archaeological heritage in the form of Ganesha statue, lingam-yoni and Kiranti with the status as cultural heritage. At this hamlet lie some temples such as the Subak Pinge temple, Puseh temple, Penataran temple, Melanting temple and Dalem temple. This reflects if the hamlet has had high civilization. It is said, the Jemeng temple was the origin of Pinge hamlet.
House of local residents is built in a row facing the road, where each is restricted by a compound wall and angkul-angkul (traditional gates). On average, each house compound has some buildings such as the bale daja (northern pavilion), bale dangin (eastern pavilion) and other buildings that have function associated with the local traditions and customs. Another unique element is that each house compound has a connecting door to adjacent neighbor. It is intended to maintain the familial relationship and togetherness. On that account, it is natural if Pinge hamlet was named the second winner in the Balinese Customary Village Competition in 1982 and third winner in 2006.
All the achievements and uniqueness can be used as initial cornerstone to make Pinge hamlet a tourism village. At least, it is the hope of Pinge hamlet. Currently, the Pinge hamlet is still classified into as a tourist object and attraction that has not developed yet. Every day, this village is averagely visited by 10 to 20 tourists from Europe, Taiwan and Japan. So far, the travelers passing through the Pinge hamlet become an integral part in the itinerary of Jatiluwih and Bedugul tour package. In this package, there are walking, hiking and tracking tours. "Departing from this excellence, we want to realize Pinge as a tourism village," said Anak Agung Ketut, a member of the tourism village management board.
To that end, he added, the management and local village leaders made an effort in order the Pinge hamlet could soon become a tourism village. One of them was by bringing in a world tourism figure, Anak Agung Prana. This senior figure of Mengwi Palace shared and provided tips for building a rustic destination with a strong spiritual nuance. Agung Prana said that Pinge had potential to become a tourism village. The village had the culture of rural life, music, sacred dance and offerings as well as religious life engendering authentic uniqueness. "It is this kind of atmosphere desired by Westerners as a tourist destination," he said. (BTN/015)

"Dear Damon,
So I am checking out using MMI Money Management International… If you pay this off before the designated years can you at that point just start re-establishing credit? There is also something about a tax forgiveness… do you know about this? Thank you
Le Anna"
Hello Le Anna,
If you are looking at MMI, then I assume you are looking at a credit counseling type of approach to paying down your debt whereby MMI will contact your creditors, attempt to renegotiate your interest rates lower and put you on a plan to have the debt paid in full within 3 to 5 years. Going with a plan like this does not involve any debt forgiveness and therefore would not trigger any tax liability for any debt forgiven.
You may be confusing this with debt settlement which I don't believe is an option that MMI offers, unless they have recently changed this.
Regarding your credit, yes you can payoff your debts early and yes you can start re establishing and improving your credit even before you have the debts paid off. You do not need to wait until you are finished paying the debt in full to start attempting to add additional positive trade lines to your report, and disputing any inaccurate negative entries.
Damon is a talented independent debt coach that provides in-depth assistance and consultations for people struggling with debt. If you want a personal debt coach to help you through a difficult situation or want assistance to find secret discounts offered by debt settlement companies I think Damon Day is an excellent person to contact for advice and assistance. He can be reached directly at DamonDay.com

The Arizona State women's basketball plays its final non-conference road game on Saturday (5 p.m. PT/6 p.m. MT) when it travels to Fullerton, Calif., to take on Cal State Fullerton.
The Sun Devils (8-1) come into Saturday's game on a seven-game winning streak, most recently defeating Sacred Heart (81-49) and Long Beach State (74-67 - OT) in last weekend's ASU Classic.
After Saturday's game, the Sun Devils will play their final two non-conference games at home starting on Sat., Dec. 21 when they host Miami at 12:30 p.m. ASU's contest vs. Miami will be Native American Day at Wells Fargo Arena. The Sun Devil women's basketball program will honor the No. 21 jersey of former Sun Devil Ryneldi Becenti by making it the first ASU women's basketball jersey to be hung from the rafters of the arena.
After a break for the holidays, ASU will close non-conference play on Mon., Dec. 30 (6 p.m.) when it hosts current No. 25 Syracuse.
Saturday's game Cal State Fullerton can be heard live on NBC Sports Radio AM 1060 with coverage beginning at 5:30 p.m. MT. Veteran broadcaster and the state of Arizona's 2010 Broadcaster of the Year Jeff Munn is in his 10th season as the voice of ASU women's basketball.

• Freshman forward Sophie Brunner was named the MVP of the ASU Classic after averaging 16.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals. Brunner, who connected on 78.6 percent of her shots (11-14) for the weekend, recorded a career high in scoring on consecutive days as she posted 15 points vs. Sacred Heart on Saturday before coming back with 17 more in Sunday's win over Long Beach State. She scored 12 of her 17 points vs. Long Beach State in the second half and overtime. She also added a career-high 12 rebounds vs. LBSU to account for her second double-double of the season Thirteen of her 19 rebounds in the two games came on the offensive end.
• Also named to the ASU Classic All-Tournament Team were senior guard Deja Mann and freshman forward Kelsey Moos. Mann averaged 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in the two wins. She scored 15 points and was perfect from the floor (5-5 FGs), including 3-3 from 3-point range, in ASU's win over Sacred Heart. Moos, who did not play vs. Sacred Heart as a precautionary measure after having a collision while diving for a ball in ASU's previous game vs. Arkansas State, scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds in the ASU Classic championship game vs. Long Beach State (Dec. 8).
• ASU's win against Long Beach State was the 350th win of ASU head coach Charli Turner Thorne's career (310 at ASU and 40 at Northern Arizona).
• Currently with 310 wins as ASU's head coach, Charli Turner Thorne needs three more wins to move into the No. 2 spot for most career wins by a Pac-12 head coach. Last weekend, Turner Thorne recorded the 350th win of her coaching career (310 at ASU, 40 at Northern Arizona) following ASU's win over Long Beach State.
• ASU's current seven-game winning streak represents the 20th time since 2001 that the Sun Devils have had a winning streak of five or more games. The last time the Sun Devils won as many as seven games in a row was during the 2010-11 season.
• In ASU's last 4 games, freshman Sophie Brunner is averaging 13.8 ppg and 9.3 rpg while shooting 78.3 percent from the floor (18-23). That stretch includes a pair of double-doubles – 10 points and 10 rebounds vs. North Carolina (Nov. 29) and career bests of 17 points and 12 rebounds vs. Long Beach State last Sunday.
• Two Sun Devils – seniors Deja Mann (13.7 ppg) and Adrianne Thomas (10.4 ppg) – are currently averaging double figures in scoring.

• Junior guard Chante Miles leads the Titans in scoring with 14.3 ppg.

The Sun Devil women's basketball program has consistently been among the Pac-12/Pac-10's best for the last several years both on the court and in the classroom...
• Since the 2000-01 season ASU is one of only two schools in the Pac-12 to have won both a regular season conference title and the conference tournament title.
• ASU has finished third or higher in the Pac-12 nine times since 2001.
• Since 2005-06, ASU has led the Pac-12 in the number of conference first-team all-academic awards and the combined number of first- and second-team all-academic awards.
Sophie Brunner was named the Pac-12 Women's Basketball Freshman of the Week earlier this month after helping lead the Sun Devils to three wins at the Cancun Challenge.
Brunner averaged 9.0 points and 6.3 rebounds while connecting on 82 percent of her shots in helping the Sun Devils win their games vs. Illinois (Nov. 28), (then) No. 11 North Carolina (Nov. 29) and Arkansas State (Nov. 30).
Brunner, who had been slowed by an ankle injury she sustained in ASU's win at Texas Tech on Nov. 17, came up especially big in ASU's wins over North Carolina and Arkansas State.
Against North Carolina, Brunner recorded the first double-double of her career (10 points, 10 rebounds) as she scored all 10 of her points and had seven of her 10 rebounds in the second half and overtime of ASU's upset of the Tar Heels.
One day after ASU upset UNC, Brunner played a big role helping the Sun Devils defeat Arkansas State as she scored 11 of her career-high 13 points in the second half. Brunner scored seven points and had four of ASU's five rebounds (including three offensive) in the final five minutes to help the Sun Devils edge the Red Wolves, 69-66.
Brunner averaged 11.5 points and 9.0 rebounds while connecting on 78 percent of her shots (7-9) and 75 percent of her free throws (9-12) in the final two games of the tournament vs. UNC and Arkansas State.
Ryneldi Becenti, a member of the Arizona State University Sports Hall of Fame who twice earned honorable mention All-America notice as a member of the Sun Devil women's basketball team, will have her No. 21 jersey honored and displayed from the rafters of Wells Fargo Arena on Sat., Dec. 21 when the Sun Devils host the University of Miami.
"As we started to evaluate the stars of our distinguished past, it quickly became apparent that no player was more celebrated or had more of an impact – both in her community and within our own Sun Devil community – than Ryneldi Becenti," said Turner Thorne. "While already in our Hall of Fame for her achievements as a student-athlete, we felt a program-specific tribute like this was fitting for a special individual whose influence went beyond the basketball court.
"The incredible work ethic and desire that led her to our program galvanized the Native American community. Her outstanding contributions as a Sun Devil enhanced her legendary status and remain an inspiration for many. I am so proud to be announcing that we will be hanging Ryneldi Becenti's No. 21 jersey from the rafters of Wells Fargo Arena on Dec. 21. We hope all our fans and basketball enthusiasts alike will mark the date in their calendars to come out and help us pay tribute to this Sun Devil icon."
Becenti was a two-time honorable mention All-America honoree while also becoming one of only three Sun Devils (at the time) to earn All-Pac-10 first-team honors twice in a career.
Following two successful seasons at Scottsdale Community College, Becenti joined ASU where her outstanding all-around play was pivotal in helping the Sun Devils earn a NCAA Tournament berth in 1992, the program's first tournament invite since 1983.
By the conclusion of her two-year Sun Devil career, Becenti would accumulate 396 career assists, which at the time represented the second-highest career total in program history. Her career average of 7.1 assists per game remains a Pac-12 record to this day, while her 17-assist outing vs. Marquette in 1992 still sits atop the team's list for most assists in a single game. With 15 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in a Jan. 25, 1992, game against Oregon State, Becenti became the first player in school history to record a triple-double and was the lone player in the NCAA – men or women – to record the feat that season.
Becenti's enormous popularity in the community and the Navajo Nation received national acclaim in March 1993, when she was featured in a Sports Illustrated article written by award-winning journalist Gary Smith.
As a member the 1993 USA team at the World University Games, Becenti became the first Native American female to earn a medal at the event. She would also go on to earn the distinction of becoming the first Native American to play in the WNBA as a member of the hometown Phoenix Mercury.
In 1996, she became the first woman inducted into the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame adding to her list of enshrinements, which includes the Scottsdale Community College Hall of Fame, Arizona State University Hall of Fame and the Arizona High School Sports Hall of Fame.
A native of Fort Defiance, Ariz., Becenti earned high school All-America honors playing for Window Rock High School. Her stellar play continued at Scottsdale Community College where she earned junior college All-American recognition.

Ruhland to help improve educational opportunities for State high schools Moraine Park Technical College President, Dr. Sheila Ruhland, will represent Moraine Park at the state level with her recent appointment to the State of Wisconsin Joint Legislative Council. The Council's primary responsibility is to establish study committees to examine major issues and problems identified by the Legislature. Ruhland will serve as a Public Member of the Special Committee on Improving Educational Opportunities in High School. Ruhland is looking forward to discussing and recommending educational opportunities for students throughout the state. "The scope of this committee clearly aligns with my work experiences and interest in looking at options for high school students, specific to career and technical education, and determining ways to increase post-secondary enrollment," Ruhland shared. The Committee is directed to develop legislation to create and enhance opportunities for both lower-and higher-achieving students in high school. On the Committee, Ruhland will evaluate post-secondary enrollment, including the Youth Options Program, examine both career and technical education and post-secondary enrollment options available to high school students in other states. Ruhland will also help determine how to promote coordination between high schools, technical colleges, universities and employers to ensure that high school students have the skills necessary to meet the work force needs to employers in the state. "Over the years we have seen a decline in the number of secondary courses available to educate and train high school students in career and technical education," said Ruhland. "I believe that these courses are a critical pipeline that encourage and make students aware of post-secondary educational training opportunities, which is necessary if we are to meet the current and future workforce training needs in Wisconsin."
