It was hot out there Friday.
Hotter than the projected high in Baghdad, Cairo and even Hermosillo, Mexico. some of the hottest places on earth.
But it wasn't hot enough to match a 23-year-old record, as officials expected.
Friday's high of 116 was two degrees shy of reaching the record set for this time of year, which was 118 degrees back in 1990, according to the National Weather Service. The last time the region hit that temperature on this date was on July 2, 2011.
It could have made Phoenix one of the hottest if not the hottest places on earth. The projected highs in Riyadh, for example, was 108 degrees. In Mecca it was projected to hit 109. Baghdad was supposed to reach 114 degrees, and Cairo was headed toward a relatively chilly 99.
"It's a combination of some clouds and also some smoke form the silver fire in New Mexico," said Marvin Percha, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service's office in Phoenix.
He said that haze filtered out the sun.
"It doesn't take much to take a degree or two off," he said.
A spokeswoman for the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, D.C, was asked for advice on Friday on what to do in these scorching temperatures.
"We should be asking you what to do," said Hekmat AlMaatouk, spokesperson for the embassy.
"Nobody walks out in this situation. Nobody," AlMaatouk said. "Hell has opened the door on the Earth."
"You have to be home and relaxed," AlMaatouk said.

College Hockey:ECAC West Weekly Picks, Mar. 3
My picks within the league have been pathetic all season, and last week was no exception. I figured the home teams would prevail and couldn't have been more wrong.
I'm almost afraid to make my pick for this week's championship game, as No. 5 Neumann takes on No. 3 Hobart.
Neumann has experience and a senior class that wants to keep playing one more game on its side. The Knights have staged two dramatic third period comebacks to win in overtime so far in the playoffs.
Hobart, on the other hand, is playing its best hockey of the year and works hard every shift. The Statesmen have settled in to their defensive system, and are rallying around the return of goaltender Nick Broadwater.
The editors will yell at me if I don't pick a team, though, so I predict that Neumann will continue its dramatic run.
Last Week: 0-2
Overall: 51-26 (.662)

Crime in the Village continues to be very low in all categories save one: thefts from unlocked cars at night. We recorded 67 thefts in 2011 and 97 in 2012—that's a 45% increase in a single year. We have arrested and successfully prosecuted several thieves this year, and while the pace of thefts has slowed since the arrests, they continue. The common denominator to these thefts is the unlocked car parked overnight. I urge each of you to help us eliminate these thefts by doing a few simple things:
1. Lock your car every time you park.
2. Remove all valuables from your car.
3. Leave your front porch light on all night long.
4. Call the police whenever you see or hear anything suspicious.
Your police department will continue to do its part to deter and detect these criminals, but our job is much harder without your assistance. If you follow the above rules, I am confident that we will dramatically reduce our theft numbers.
Beginning on Saturday, January 12, Village police officers will be going door to door on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to deliver a brief crime prevention message with a 1-page flyer. Please expect to see their smiling faces at your front door in the near future!
Here's wishing all of our residents a happy and safe New Year!

The night air chilled Savannah to the bone. It was completely dark out; the street lamps were all shotty and gave off little light, yet another reason why she didn't like to be out so late at night. She hadn't thought to change out of her short, lacy white dress that she'd worn to school that day when Nick had suggested that they check out the evidence vault again after sunset. She may have been freezing cold, but his rough hand pulling her along by her thin wrist made her cheeks hot and her heart beat just a bit faster. The mere idea of sneaking around the station underground after hours gave her butterflies; but she had to remember that they were in fact trespassing, so she had to keep her head on straight.
The investigation of the Madison Mansion was going swimmingly, aside from a few mishaps here and there. Nick had been surprisingly helpful about the whole thing, despite his mixed - more silent than mixed, really - feelings in the beginning. Savannah could hardly believe how far their relationship had pushed since the original encounter in the hallway at Wayward High. After that afternoon with Marc, Andy, and Nick, she'd been almost convinced that none of them would ever talk to her again. But she'd followed her gut the way she always did and practically cornered Nick in the hallway, forcing him to hear her out.
Since then, they'd been practically inseperable, most of their time consumed with the investigation, and well, each other. While Nick, the scruffy boy with the nose ring, looked oddly out of place on the arm of Savannah, the girl in the dress, they walked the halls at school with heads close together, whispering inquisitions and theories about the mystery they were solving. Of course many took the sight as a romantic display, and perhaps Savannah did, too, but as far as she could tell, Nick didn't return the opinion.
It wasn't long before they'd snuck into the police station and made their way down to the evidence locker the way they'd done before. Nick hurried over to the filing cabinet which held the typed version of every report from the present to around 2003. As he was digging through the papers, she pulled the small metal safety deposit box filled with physical evidence from the Madison case down off the top shelf and sat herself down on one of the cold metal rolling tables to search through it.
All of the same things were still in the box: the torn page of Melinda Ward, Marc's sister's, journal that contained nothing of particular importance, Andrew Landon's broken glasses, and a pair of walkie-talkies that the kids used to communicate the night of the disappearance. Savannah sighed, unsatisfied, and looked up at Nick, who was closely examining the papers from the file. She was about to ask him if he was looking for something specifically when he reached up with one hand to scratch his nose for perhaps the ninth time since they'd arrived.
She frowned, wondering for the first time why he was always doing that so much. Honestly, no person's nose could be itching them so much, so frequently. She locked up the safety deposit box with the key that she kept on a chain around her neck and set it down on the table, sliding off and walking over to him. She watched him curiously, grinning slightly when she looked his way.
"What are you staring at?" He asked gruffly, arching an eyebrow.
"Oh, just you," she replied simply. "I grew especially curious just a moment ago, about something that you did." She boosted herself up onto the table that the open file was sitting on and crossed her legs, tilting her head as she observed him. He sighed, setting down the paper he'd been examining; she'd succeeded in catching his attention.
"What did I do?" He inquired, leaning his hands against the table.
"You scratched your nose for the oh, ninth time in the ten minutes we've been in here," she remarked, looking at her left wrist as if she were wearing a watch. "I'm just wondering how your nose could be bothering you so much that you feel the need to scratch it every chance you get. Do you have a nose problem? Some sort of strange affinity for noses? If so, I have to say I'd rather you didn't look me directly in the face. You might scare my nose off."
"So now I'm going to scare your nose off because mine itches?" He smirked, obviously amused by the random inquiry. Savannah had a knack for that.
"You might, if you continue scratching yours. At this rate, you won't have any nose left by the time you're thirty." She smiled, leaning forward slightly and reaching out to touch his nose lightly with the tip of her finger. "It doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with it, I don't know why you abuse it so much. It's just a nose, doing all sorts of...nosy things. Hm, you know when you think about it, if a nose had friends, couldn't it tell everyone everything about you? Then again, that implies that a nose could talk...though when I blow my nose it does make a rather loud wailing noise...why are you laughing?" Nick was chuckling, placing all of the papers neatly back in the folder and put it away in the filing cabinet.
"Nothing, just you," he said. "But if you really want to know, there's nothing wrong with my nose. It's just a habit." She frowned, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well that explanation is less than satisfying," she grumbled. "I was hoping for a little more excitement, maybe you had some kind of parasite up there or something...stop laughing at me!" She said shortly, fighting the goofy smile that was threatening to over-take her frown.
"Seriously, Savannah, it's just a stupid habit," he insisted, holding up his hands in surrender. "Anyway, I didn't find what I was looking for, so we should go." He took her hand and she hopped off the table, following him out of the room and to the stairs.
"Oh," she groaned. "I'm tired, and I hate stairs." She grinned up at him endearingly and he sighed. She queaked giddily, jumping quickly up onto his back and him hooking his arms through the crooks in her knees to keep her there. "Thanks Nicky!" He rolled his eyes and laughed, carrying her up the stairs and out the ally door of the station. When he shut the door with his boot and carried her out of the ally, he felt the sudden need to scratch his nose again. But Savannah knew, and because she knew, she watched his face amusedly. His nose crinkled and his eyes fluttered. "Hold on, hold on," she said quietly, reaching out one hand to scratch his nose with her finger nail. "There. Better?"
Nick smiled a rare smile, but Savannah couldn't see it in the dark. She could hardly see anything in the darkness. She could feel it though, because in that quiet moment, he craned his neck around to give her a soft kiss on her mouth; a smiling, unpracticed kiss, but a kiss nonetheless. And for Savannah, that's all that mattered.

This is simply the way primates behave. Look up some studies on monkeys and apes and it's the same old show. Alpha groups and individuals terrorize others in order to have a better chance at survival. Of course those acting like moneys today aren't about survival.
They have enough combined wealth to last a million years worth of survival. No, it's an extension of that instinct to dominate, even when you don't need that behavior in a modern society.
Likewise, and like the money groups and their alpha counterparts, that instinctual behavior can result in the alpha groups own demise. In alpha groups, moneys who are part of the alpha group or are alpha individuals always eat first, gorging themselves even to the detriment of the troop.
A multi-decade study done on baboons reveals that this alpha, me first, even at the expense of the whole, caused one troop to rid itself of its entire alpha group and alpha individuals in one swoop.
"The biggest and meanest males died off. As in other baboon troops studied, before they died, these top-ranking males routinely bit, bullied, and chased males of similar and lower status, and occasionally directed their aggression at females.
But when the top ranking males died-off in the mid-1980s, aggression by the (new) top baboons dropped dramatically, with most aggression occurring between baboons of similar rank, and little of it directed toward lower-status males, and none at all directed at females."
It seems that the troop encountered a restaurant dump full of rotten food. the alpha group rushed in and filled themselves with the scraps, leaving nary anything for the others to consume. A week later, they were all dead.
What more important is that researches had been testing the stress levels via chemicals in the blood for decades. After the demise of the alphas, researchers tested the blood of the troop and found that the troop was much less stressed and thus much more healthier all around without the alphas.
So that's the story. Keep acting like moneys, and you'll eventually suffer your own demise. This has played out over and over again throughout history and is a fact. Yet those acting like moneys can't help themselves because their instinct to act in such ways is far more powerful than in most of us. As such, they are, socially speaking, less evolved than the rest us us.
Nor are they smarter. Alpha moneys are fatter and more well fed, but not because of their intelligence. No, it's because of brute force. They are physically stronger and socially more violent. If they were more intelligent, they'd be doing what rats do--testing food for poison before the rest of the pack eats its, instead of gluttony at the expense of others--and eventually themselves.
The conclusion is that these types are unfit for taking humans into the future, or at least to the fullest extent of what humans can achieve without them. Imagine a world without the Trumps, the Murdochs, and the Hitlers.

"I don't think I could live my whole life in England. The weather is terrible, very depressing. It's actually pretty boring here." -Alsou
In Russia, this pop star is as famous as anyone can get in the country. Following the hit song "Zimniy Son," she found success with Enrique Iglesias, in the duet "You're My No. 1," as well as the piece "Before You Love Me," from her 2001 album Alsou.
We're not the only ones who appreciate her appearance, considering she's been featured in sexy pictorials in magazines like FHM, and the Russian publications LifeStyle, Cosmopolitan Beauty, Cool, Domovoy, Vogue, and Elle. The only hiccup is that she will, under no circumstances, appear naked. Maybe if we started a petition...
Now with Universal Music, the song was released as a single and became hugely popular in Russia. Her next single was a duet with Enrique Iglesias called "You're My No. 1" and it became the highest-selling single in Russia's history.
"Before You Love Me" was the first single from her first English language album, Alsou, released in 2001. She soon released another Russian record with Mne prisnilas Osen', while Universal produced the dance CD Run Right Out Of Time in May 2002.
Following a series of concerts, a new album of Russian music, 19, was released in early 2003. She quickly went to work on a second English language record, Inspired, which was released in 2004.
Alsou BiographyAlsou Safina Tenisheva was born in the Russian region of Tatarstan, in Bugulma, on June 27, 1983. Alsou means "the rose water" in the Tartar language. Like most people in the Soviet Union, Alsou grew up in poverty with her two brothers, Marat and Renard. In fact, until the age of 8, she lived with her grandparents in Siberia.
Soon, the collapse of Communism changed the young girl's life. In the early '90s, she moved to Moscow as her father became vice president of Russia's biggest oil company, LUKoil, and, as a result, an exceedingly wealthy man.
This job took him to every corner of the world and he took his family with him. When Alsou was 9, she and her family moved to New York City. Two years later, they relocated to Denmark and then to London, England, in 1996.
alsou grows up in british capital
Essentially, Alsou grew up in the British capital. She went to boarding school there and remained with her older brother Marat when the parents were once again called away. When Alsou was 15, Marat went to Moscow to celebrate his wedding in 1998.
A talented piano player, she was aware she could belt out a mean song and decided to emulate Whitney Houston by singing the hit "I Will Always Love You." This proved to be the most important day of her life. A friend of her mother's rushed up to Alsou and told her she had an acquaintance in the music business whom she should meet right away.
alsou joins real records
She was later introduced to the Russian producer Valeriy Belotserkovsky at his studio. She once again sang the Whitney Houston song (originally Dolly Parton's) and he was so impressed that he cut her off in the middle of the piece to offer her a deal.
alsou mimics lolita
They started working on music at once and soon had a video ready for the Russian public in February 1999. The video was for the song "Zimniy Son" and in it she pretended to be Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. This retro-styled song, written by Russian singer and songwriter Alexander Shevchenko, was incredibly popular.
In September 1999, her first album, Alsou, was released by Real Records. Not only did it sell over one million copies, it garnered her attention from the big boys.
alsou sings with enrique iglesias
Two months later, Alsou signed a long-term international contract with the Russian division of Universal Music. It didn't take long for Alsou to start working on some new material. In May 2000, she entered the singing competition Eurovision with her new song, "Solo." Although she came in second in a contest seen by over 260 million people worldwide, the song, when released a month later, became the highest-selling single in Russia's history.
In the fall of 2000, Alsou teamed up with Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias to record the duet "You're My No. 1." It outdid "Solo," selling even more copies. 2000 was a year for international exposure for Alsou, and she took full advantage of it.
Alsou changed her image from a demure family-friendly artist to a raunchier performer. She appeared dancing sexily in black leather in her video for "Before You Love Me," the first single from her debut English language record. In 2001, the song topped out at No. 27 on British charts and became No. 1 on MTV Europe.
alsou releases an english album
In June 2001, this first English language album, again called Alsou, was released. Produced by Simon Napier-Bell, George Michael's former manager, this record was going to be hyped. Alsou was flown all over Europe, as she promoted her latest opus on TV shows and radio interviews.
Real Records, the company that released her first album, had an idea about releasing a special edition of that album with new Russian songs on it. Universal didn't approve and a legal battle ensued. Consequently, Alsou's manager Valeriy Belotserkovsky terminated the deal with Universal.
Alsou left her British home and returned to Russia, where she started studying acting. The special edition Alsou album was released by Real Records in November 2001, and the following spring, Real released a new Russian language record, Mne prisnilas Osen'.
alsou releases inspired
Alsou got herself a new manager, Alexander Shevchenko, and to represent her in the Western Hemisphere, she chose Denis Ingoldsby, the co-producer of Travis and Craig David. Still interested in her, Universal Music followed suit by releasing the dance CD Run Right Out Of Time.
In summer 2002, Alsou was part of an ambitious concert project called the Trilogy. In 10 days, she gave three completely different concerts: a traditional performance of her old material, an intimate affair with a classical orchestra, and a huge Europop show. Newspapers called the Trilogy "an important social and cultural event."
A new Russian album, 19, was released in January 2003. Soon after, Alsou started recording new English songs in London and Los Angeles. Not only did she work with celebrated producers, she wrote 12 songs and did a duet called "I Wish I Never Knew" with rap star Nelly.
This CD, Inspired, was released in 2004. Currently single and living in London, Alsou wants to start acting. With her kind of drive, it's only a question of time...

Here is what Justin Bieber has to say about his Colin Tilley-directed "Boyfriend" video, because this is pressing information to some people:
The concept of this video, I mean it's not like a steady concept. It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes. Like a fire scene, we have an ice scene.
It's like it's a video game or something! Bieber takes you to Ice World, presumably full of the icy if somewhow G-rated tracks of the Ying Yang Twins. Bieber takes you to Fire World, where he acquires the same fire Justin Timberlake did at this stage of his carer. Bieber takes you to the desert. Bieber takes you underwater. Bieber takes you to the grassy meadows. Bieber takes you to so many scenes that this might actually be one of those boy band/girl group videos with all the color-coded rooms, like "Say My Name."
But then, Bieber also said to expect female dancers, "great artistic shots" and smiling. So perhaps this is actually like "Bye Bye Bye." There is a grand analogy to be made between pop videos in the early '00s and pop videos in the early '10s, and we're going to be the ones to begin to make it.

The City of Concord will consider Tuesday a resolution to honor its most famous native son.
On Tuesday, March 11, the Concord City Council will consider adopting Concord native son and late jazz legend Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" as the City's "most treasured song." The acclaimed Concord High School Minutemen Jazz Band, under the direction of Gary Coartney, will present a half-hour performance in the courtyard in front of the City Council Chamber at 6 p.m., concluding with "Take Five." The City Council meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.
Brubeck was born in Concord in 1920. The city renamed Concord Boulevard Neighborhood Park for Brubeck in 2006. The Concord Jazz Festival was held in the park in the early 1970s, attracting many world-famous jazz performers of the day including Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, Pearl Bailey, Peter Nero, George Shearing, and Ella Fitzgerald. Brubeck's participation in the early years of the festival contributed to the impetus for building the Concord Pavilion, which opened in 1975. Brubeck was the first jazz musician to be featured on the cover of Time magazine and performed at the White House and in concerts all over the world. He passed away on December 5, 2012 in Norwalk, Connecticut, one day before his 92nd birthday.

Wow–excellent op-ed piece here. So glad to see the writers on the Roar staff engaged in issues of international importance and social justice. I'm even more encouraged that you're encouraging your peers to sit up and take notice, too.
By Ashley Benavidez
"What would you do if they banned all guns and there were a government takeover?"
"I don't trust the government. We're screwed either way."
I admit it's entertaining to hear the many plans of doomsday from my peers, but I've never been able to find any true legitimacy to their outrageous ideas. If these are their true feelings and they really do believe our government is not to be trusted, why not do something?
A Zombie Apocalypse and a sudden environmental shift shown in some apocalyptic Hollywood movie are highly unlikely catastrophic events, but it's still what produces the most contemplative conversation. You seriously begin to consider, "what if something like that really happened?" But, newsflash! Things like the military action against Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, proposed by President Obama to Congress are very real and they are happening right now.
While our country is on the verge of a potential war involving chemical weapons, Miley Cyrus' Video Music Award is serving as the latest distraction. With one performance, she became the talk of Twitter, Facebook, class rooms, coffee shops, morning radio shows, etc. How could an event so trivial to the well-being of our human existence become so viral that even our notoriously off-the-grid, Professor Diane Miller came to know exactly who Miley Cyrus was?
I'm sure many people would agree the MTV Video Music Awards is more entertaining than the evening news, but that's an excuse to misplace our attention from things that truly matter because if we found ourselves caring, we might actually have to do something about it. Even if it's just to be empathetic of the other human beings in this world who have families, homes and lives just like you do, who are facing far worse matters than a "sketchy" government, like innocent citizens of Syria, living in fear of the military decisions our President and Congress have yet to make.
If you don't believe something is right, question it. Don't deem yourself hopeless, instead make an effort to find a solution. The news isn't always accurate, so take it upon yourself to seek other sources of valuable information such as TED Talks and the New York Times. Have a higher standard for what you consider to be "reliable" information; Youtube Channels and Tumblr Bloggers aren't always what you want to invest your trust in. Most importantly, have the confidence to not follow the trend of misplacing your attention on nonsense that ultimately confines you to a box. Instead, insist on being knowledgeable about the topics that conclusively have an effect on us through proactive engagement in relevant and reliable media. It's a whole new world out there.
Wow–excellent op-ed piece here. So glad to see the writers on the Roar staff engaged in issues of international importance and social justice. I'm even more encouraged that you're encouraging your peers to sit up and take notice, too.

West Nile Virus (WNV)
Protect Yourself
Personal protection is the best defense! Mosquitoes don't care if you are outside for two minutes of two hours. Find a repellent that meets your needs and wear if every time you are outside!
Whenever Possible:
- Stay indoors during mosquito "prime-time" which is around dawn and dusk.
- Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts.
- Use mosquito repellent whenever outdoors, even for short periods.
- Drain areas of standing water (bird baths, kiddie pools, pet dishes, etc. at least weekly).
- Report large areas of standing water Call 1-877-276-4306.
- Don't water your lawn too frequently.
What we learned last year:
- Hardest hit: Colorado had the nation's greatest number of reported cases of WNV, almost 3,000.
- All ages affected: Coloradoans from infant to over 90-years-old were infected by WNV.
- It can be very serious: 622 people required hospitalization for meningitis or encephalitis. Paralysis can occur.
- It can be deadly: 62 Coloradoans died of WNV, 6 in Weld County.

A tall, graceful, evergreen, Mexican plant for growing at the sides of ponds where it shoots up to head high. The near oval leaves stand out because they are grey-green with a white dusting on the surface. There are also small violet flowers in summer followed by attractive seed heads. You'll need a large aquatic basket placed about 15cm under water, with a natural pond, grow it in the muddy margins. In areas where the winter temperature can hit 50C plant up to 30cm deep and it should survive though the leaves will be killed off until the new growth appears in the spring.

Courtney Stodden took to her twitter account for something other than sharing those rejected pitches for a softcore porno that rely on way too much alliteration. Self-promotion! Yes, the teen bride, newly 17, is still kicking around those music career aspirations, although she seems to have dropped the country angle in favor of the wildly popular I'll Do Whatever My Husband Tells Me To Do By Making Any Kind Of Music That Sounds Vaguely Like It Could Be Played In A Strip Club genre. "We Are America" is her latest venture into "hard rock," both heavy on the non-verbal chants ("nah nah nah/hey hey hey") and patriotic allusions. But that doesn't mean it can't be provocative and sexual. "Had such a sexy Friday in the recording studio banging out a hard rock version of "We Are America" – Taste it here ;-)" Stodden tweeted late Friday. Sadly there is no DIY music video yet, but rest assured some sexy lady soldiers are learning suggestive choreography with machine guns right this very moment.
Well, you heard the
woman girl. Taste it:

What does the inside of a snail shell look like?
Here is a shell of Batillaria minima with its inside exposed. It took me a while to remove the ventral side of the shell carefully with a small file.
The apexes of the shells of adult and most juvenile B. minima are normally eroded. Notice that the uppermost 3 whorls of this specimen are filled with shell material. The snail probably did that to strengthen the apex against further damage and also to prevent its body from getting exposed in case of additional breakage.

Fifty thousand people die of colon cancer a year and they don't have to?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Correct and a hundred and fifty thousand are being diagnosed with colon cancer per year so that's a large number of the American population that suffer from this.
But it's one of the most treatable if detected early?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: It is one of the most treatable or to say curable cancer and more importantly it's a preventable cancer. And that I think is very much of significance here in this discussion.
And the key is colonoscopy?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: The key is colonoscopy, the key is to find out if you have the predisposition to colon cancer. That predisposition is called a colon polyp which is a little growth almost like a small mushroom that grows inside the intestine. If we look for those growths at an earlier stage before they become cancerous we can remove them during the exact same procedure, the colonoscopy. Eliminate them and therefore eliminate the risk of cancer.
Do all polyps become cancer if they're not eliminated?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Not necessarily so not all polyps become cancerous but if they stay there long enough they eventually deteriorate. So the earlier you pick them up and you remove them the better you are in terms of preventing colon cancer.
So after fifty you're supposed to be getting colonoscopies?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: All the societies in the field of gastroenterology as well as cancer medicine recommend the colonoscopy at the age of fifty for everybody. Men and women of any ethnicity and race should have that.
But colonscopies there's some downfalls?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Actually if it's done by a professional who is well qualified to do the procedure it is a very safe intervention. Thousands and thousands of them are done every day in the United States and the world over so it's a very safe procedure, the risk of less than one to two per thousand of something to go wrong so it's a very safe procedure.
Safe but sometimes there's a higher missed rate?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: The issue of the colonoscopy is that it's not perfect all the time and there are certain imperfections in the issue of colonoscopy. The imperfection that we face most commonly is a poor preparation. So if the patient is supposed to have a colonoscopy they are supposed to drink something the night before that will make them go to the bathroom and empty their bowels so when we look inside the bowel the bowel is clean. If that preparation is not adequate then the quality of the examination is inferior to what it should be and therefore inadequate. Another limitation of colonoscopy is that sometimes the small polyps grow behind a fold in the intestine and they are not visualized at the time of the examination. The examination is like looking through a tunnel and as you look through the tunnel you only look forward and as you remove the colonoscope and you go backwards and you may miss the things that are hiding behind folds. And therefore we have this new technology called third eye that allows us to look backwards as well as forward as we come out doing the examination. Therefore increasing the yield of detecting these polyps.
How long is the intestine that you have to go through?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: About three and a half feet.
And that's a lot of folds in there?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: That's a lot of folds because almost every inch or two inches there is a fold that you basically face in a normal colon.
What makes third eye different?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: third eye is a special device that allows us to examine the bowel by looking backwards almost like having a rearview mirror on your bike or on your car. So as you drive forward or as you drive the colonoscope you can actually look through the mirror and you can actually see what happens behind you and you don't really miss any spots behind the car for example.
How many colonoscopies do you do a day?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Approximately ten.
How long have you been doing colonoscopies?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: For thirty years.
When you first used this third eye what was that like for you?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: It was very exciting of course because I was the first to use it ever so it was a very exciting time. But we realized over the course of the years, over the past ten years at least we recognized that colonoscopy has its inadequacies and we can miss polyps. When we came up with the third eye and we started using it in several studies we found out how much we thought we were missing is now picked up by the third eye which is a very significant innovation here.
What's the difference?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: The difference is depending on the study and depending on the particular patient population it can go anywhere between five and forty percent so that's a significant difference. Of polyp detection that is better with the third eye than without the third eye. So as we're looking for polyps we think that we've gotten a good look and yet if we were to use the third eye we realized that we have missed on the average about twenty percent of polyps. So if we are going to do a colonoscopy it's best to do it with the help of a third eye thereby increasing to a max, hopefully max level, the quality of the examination so we do it only once instead of bringing the patient back more frequently to make sure that everything is okay.
Would the patient know any difference between the third eye and the normal colonoscopy?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Not at all it does not matter to the patient they don't feel any different. It's just a matter of using this additional tool that attaches to the colonoscope that allows us to look backward. Again it's the same thing as driving the car, you add the mirror or you drive the car without the mirror.
Did you develop this?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: Not personally but a lot of smart engineers did. We did the help the development and the clinical implementation.
Did you see a need?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: We saw a need for that very early on.
This is all covered by Medicare then?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: It is covered by Medicare and it is covered by some insurers I think.
Do you have to ask for this or is this something that doctors will just go ahead and use?
Dr. Triadafilopoulos: If the doctor is using it in their practice then it is almost guaranteed that they will use it. Not all the physicians are using it as yet.

Hypocrisy Watch: House GOP sues Obama, then demands executive action
How can they keep a straight face?
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The House Republican leadership put out a statement yesterday demanding that President Obama take action on immigration.
"There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action, to secure our borders and ensure these children are returned swiftly and safely to their countries," the statement read.
Time out!
Did they really say there "are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action"?
This is the same gang that just the day before led a vote in the House to sue the president for acting without out congressional approval.
The hypocrisy is compounded by the Republicans' complete inability to take what they call "congressional action" on the border situation.
On Thursday, they couldn't even cobble up a phony-baloney, dead-end bill that their own caucus would vote for, never mind the Senate. They stayed in town one extra day so they could put together a different phony-baloney, dead-end bill.
Even a fan of the lawsuit like conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer thought this was over the top.
"It is ridiculous to sue the president on a Wednesday because he oversteps the law, as he has done a dozen times illegally and unconstitutionally, and then on a Thursday say that he should overstep the law, contradict the law that passed in 2008 and deal with this himself," Krauthammer said on Fox News.
What are these guys putting in their tea at those parties?
DecodeDC's foremost aim is to be useful. That means being a reliable, honest and highly entertaining source of insight and explanation. It also means providing multimedia coverage of Washington's people, culture, policies and politics that is enlightening and enjoyable. Whether it's a podcast, a video, an interactive graphic, a short story or a long analysis, it will be based on this guiding principle: We are in DC but not OF DC.

Buying a TV has become as complicated as selecting the right mobile phone plan. Before large flat panel displays invaded our lives, the only real question when purchasing a CRT (cathode ray tube) TV was how big did you want it and how much space did you have in your room to house it? Sure, there were some quality issues but mostly it was dictated by how many diagonal inches you could get for your buck. While some of that justification still rings true with today's TVs, now there's the issue of plasma versus LCD to contend with, and just when you had that sorted out, LED TVs have entered the arena as an option. However, there still seems to be a fair bit of confusion surrounding what exactly an LED TV is. Well, basically, it's another form of LCD TV that uses LEDs to provide its light source.Read More

Taco Bell's Feelings Are Still a Little Hurt
Now that the beef lawsuit has been dropped, the fast-food chain would like an apology, please.
New York Diet alum Pat Kiernan, of Pat's Papers, spied a full-page ad from Taco Bell in today's USA Today, with the engaging, plaintive headline, "Would it Kill You to Say You're Sorry?".
Apparently, Taco Bell's feelings are hurt because of that lawsuit claiming their beef didn't contain enough "real" meat. As we mentioned yesterday, the case, filed in January, was voluntarily withdrawn, and Taco Bell — which also ran that "Thank You for Suing Us" ad — wants a goddamn apology. Says the copy: "As for the lawyers who brought this suit: You got it wrong, and you're probably feeling pretty bad right about now. But you know what always helps? Saying to everyone, 'I'm sorry.' C'mon, You can do it!"
Taking out a full-page ad is the new outraged phone call or litigious letter! Noted.

Fatigue is really bad, should I see the Rhumatologist?
The Rhumatologist diagnosed me with Fibro. My regular doctor said that since I have been diagnosed with it that he can treat me. I went to his office last week feeling the worst fatigue I've had since diagnosed. If I stand to long or walk to far my legs start hurting and feeling like their going out from under me. The pain especially in my arms is terrible. The Rhumatologist put me on 60 mg Cymbalta once a day I haven't had any changes in the medicine yet. My doctor took me off the Cymbalta and put me on Lyrica instead. I'm wondering if that was the best thing to do? I'm thinking about going back to the Rhumatologist even though I can't afford the $40 co-payments but I can't work with the fatigue as bad as it is, and the doctor didn't schedule me to see him again for two months.

But that number has seen a sharp decline, by 5.4 million from the total number of voters registered for the last CA election. This has taken many by surprise and ignited fresh controversy whether the statutory body has done its job with fairness.
While EC officials and experts say the number faithfully reflects the reality, leaders of Madhes-based political parties have taken exception to the figure, arguing that it is simply unacceptable.
When the EC this week concluded its fresh campaign for voter registration with photo and biometrics, the number of voters registering with it stood at 12.4 million. "This is just not acceptable for us," said General Secretary of Sadbhawana Party Manish Suman.
Suman said the Supreme Court (SC) order was largely to blame for the lower number. "There may be many reasons behind the decrease in the number of voters registered. But I personally think the order by the apex court is the major reason," he said.
A single bench of Justice Sushila Karki, responding to a writ petition filed by Advocate Purna Chandra Poudel at the apex court, ordered the EC on Monday not to register voters without citizenship certificates. The EC had recently issued a public notice to list voters on the basis of names registered for the last CA poll, even if they have no citizenship certificates. But that provision was in effect only for a few weeks.
Leaders of Madhes-based parties have demanded that the apex court review its recent order as it would deny a large number of people the right to take part in the election. "The election commission should implement in practice its slogan that there should be no one left to be registered in the new electoral rolls and no one should get registered twice." Suman adds. "The number of missing voters (5.4 million) is no joke."
EC officials, however, beg to differ over the reason for the lesser number of voters registered.
They argue that the total voter number has declined in comparison to 2008 as the new electoral roll with photo and biometrics is more scientific, avoiding completely any chance of duplication or registration of voters who are no longer alive. "There are no duplications in the new electoral rolls and one cannot find the names of voters who are already dead," argued Election Commissioner Ayodhi Prasad Yadav while explaining the decrease in number of voters.
While a sizeable number of eligible voters have voluntarily chosen not to register with the EC, many others see the large number of Nepali migrant workers in the Gulf and elsewhere as the reason behind the decrease in number of voters registered.
"Large numbers of people have gone abroad for employment in recent years," said former chief election commissioner Surya Prasad Shrestha. Some experts also tend to argue that disillusionment with the country´s politics has played an equally important role in the decrease in number of voters.
With the number of voters registering with the EC witnessing a drastic drop, most Madhes-based parties have demanded that the SC review its order making citizenship certificates mandatory and that the EC give voters yet another chance to registration.
However, EC Spokesman Bir Bahadur Rai rules out any possibility of giving another chance for voter registration for the November poll, citing time constraints. "It will affect our calendar of events which is already in force," argued Rai.
As per the calendar of events issued recently by the constitutional body for the upcoming CA poll, it is now scheduled to ask voters to file objections or claims, if any, against the voter list, probe the issue, finalize the new electoral roll and publish it between July 15 and August 5.
Spokesman of Madhesi People´s Rights Forum (MPRF) Ratneshwor Lal Kayastha argued that since the country is going to elect a new CA to promulgate a new statute, the EC should leave no stone unturned to ensure that no one is deprived of the vote.
"The body concerned is silent about the missing voters, which means a conspiracy is afoot," said Kayastha. The EC was hatching a conspiracy to deny a large number of eligible citizens their right to vote, he alleged.
But even if the EC chooses to give people another chance to registration in the voter roll, those who lack citizenship certificates will not be the beneficiaries as the apex court has already issued an interim order against the EC move to register voters without citizenship papers.
The EC on June 6 had set mid-July of this year as the registration cutoff date for those of eligible voting age for the upcoming CA election. The constitutional body had also decided that eligible citizens could register themselves in the new electoral rolls with photographs and biometrics by July 15.
According to Section B of Clause 5(1) in the Electoral Rolls Act, 2063, a Nepali citizen who has completed 18 years of age on or before the last day of the month of Chaitra (around 13 April) in the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the electoral roll was compiled, will be eligible to vote.
As the EC nears completion of the necessary preparations for the November 19 poll, the fresh controversy over the lower number of voters registered is likely to snag those preparations.

Porsha Stewart definitely has the fans trying to decipher why she claimed she had a blackout on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." The reality star got into an altercation with Kenya Moore and she offered up an interesting moment for the reunion show on Sunday night. While the star seemed coherent after the brawl, she told Andy Cohen that she had a "blackout." According to Reality TV Magazine on Tuesday, fans are wondering if there was alcohol or drugs involved for this unexplained moment lost in time.
There has been plenty of speculation on what happened to cause Porsha to engage on a physical level. Was it the provoking words that Kenya Moore didn't stop taunting her with? Was it the bullhorn? Or was there something else that pushed her over the edge and made Porsha Stewart decide to grab at Kenya Moore and then remember nothing else.
Reporting by Radar Online on Tuesday alleges it could have been booze and drugs. The site suggests there were two bottles of wine close to Porsha Stewart and even offered up a picture for fans to see. The liquid courage could be an explanation, but there had to be drugs involved to blackout. The combination of painkillers following her recent breast augmentation or if Porsha was taking medicine to deal with depression could have contributed to her blackout.
The worst thing about Porsha Stewart's description of blacking out is for viewers. It was dark off the set of the show so did the reality star mean darkness or really referencing a medical condition where she could remember what happened next? Or was it an excuse for her actions to buy her some time?
The altercation between Porsha Stewart and Kenya Moore is far from resolved. Kenya expects an apology and has filed a police report. As the show must go on, the next installment of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" will air on Sunday.

Countries With Special Needs
The group of 31 countries with special needs in the Asia and the Pacific is comprised by least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS). These countries are home to more than 380 million people, a quarter of the total population of the Asia-Pacific developing countries excluding China and India. Their economies are marked by persistent structural challenges, fluctuating growth and dependence on a limited number of commodities or low-wage manufactured products for export earnings.
The United Nations has formulated strategic actions to address the developmental challenges faced by countries with special needs through the implementation of global mandates, including the Istanbul Programme of Action for the LDCs, the Almaty Programme of Action for the LLDCs and the Mauritius Strategy for the SIDS. In Asia-Pacific, ESCAP has been working closely with other United Nations agencies and development partners to assist those countries through the implementation of these global and related regional mandates with a special emphasis on productive capacity, human resources development, private sector development, infrastructure , trade and transport facilitation, targeted use of official development assistance and other external assistance and institutional development including promotion of governance at all levels.

Coach handbags got it's start when it's founder noticed how distinctive the leather used in baseball gloves was and how well it lasted in spite of rough handling. So began Coach handbags in 1941 with their first refined leather bags, built to stand the test of time.
Six artists began Coach in a loft in Manhattan, New York and the company has since stayed in New York in a larger location to allow for it's expansion. Only the top 10% of quality leather is chosen to become a Coach handbag and the leather is slow cured in large drums with rotation for several days. The leather is then enriched with natural treatments which produces a softening effect to bring out the individual grain of each piece of leather.
Sales declined for the company in 1998 with the changing of high-end handbags to a more eclectic blend of materials such as fabric and mixed materials. The conception among consumers saw Coach handbags as rather conservative and traditional.
Coach recognized the need for change and responded dramatically with it's introduction of the first signature line of bags with the letter "C" print and a mixture of fabric and leather. This style was an immediate hit and Coach knew a winner when it saw one!
Strong revenue growth began with Coach's sales growing from 12% in 2001 to 20% in 2002. Coach will continue to grown in sales with it's introduction of the new "Scribble" pattern, the "Scarf" pattern, and my personal favorite, the "Ladybug Applique" pattern. If you are looking for a timeless classic handbag or something new, just check out Coach handbags for the best of both worlds.

MEDINA — Medina County Auditor Mike Kovack said homeowners with storm damage can qualify for a tax deduction.
High winds, lightning and heavy rain caused damage across the northern portion of the county Tuesday, including fallen trees that closed Lester Road, between West Law and Center roads, in Liverpool Township, and damaged the roof of a home on state Route 252, south of state Route 303.
A posting on the auditor's Facebook page Wednesday alerted residents that they can submit a "Destroyed or Damaged Property" form that may qualify them for a deduction on property taxes.
"Anytime a homeowner or property owner has destruction or damage to their real property, they can write that off," Kovack said.
"One thing we like to point out is that a tree coming down in the yard does not qualify for a deduction because we don't assess any value to the tree or the yard," he said. "It has to be damage to the real property."
Kovack said the value of the damage will be deducted from the value of the property and the property owner's taxes will be deducted based on the reduced value.
Property owners can visit the auditor's website, www.medinacountyauditor.
org, click on the "Calculators" tab, select "tax calculator" and then select their residential tax district. They then can input the amount of the damage to see the approximate value of the deduction.
According to that calculator, $5,000 in damage to a home in the city of Medina that had been valued at $100,000 would reduce the value to $95,000 and decrease the full-year tax bill from $1,825 to $1,733.75 — a savings of $91.25.
Kovack said his office will calculate the actual tax deduction but the website calculator will provide a close estimate.
He said documentation — such as a copy of an insurance claim — must be attached to the form when it is filed with his office.
The form can be downloaded from the auditor's website or property owners can call the office at (330) 725-9754.
Contact reporter Dan Pompili at (330) 721-4012 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well, here it is one and a half months into the New Year. How have you done on those New Year's Resolutions? How about last year's resolutions? A significant number of us set out every year with the very best of intentions only to find out, "that the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41) How is it that some of us do accomplish our resolutions, in-fact it seems they accomplish most of there resolutions? They are accountable to themselves
You never thought losing a few pounds or reducing debt could be so involved – did you?
And in the "big picture" it might not be. However, setting and achieving goals is an important part of our lives. Resolutions are nothing more than goals wrapped in a New Year's tradition!
I believe that achieving our goals is attainable, all of our goals … everyone of them! Allow me to digress, here for a moment. Many people think "Time Management," is … managing time! I don't believe it, time management has nothing to do with "clocks" … it has every thing to do with "Priorities." In other words, if we were to take all of our days activities for any given day and track what happens, those activities with the highest priorities will get completed … those activities are our "goals" for that day. And so it is with all of our goals … those that have the highest priority will get accomplished. The challenge is to be able to consistently "prioritize!"
When we engage in that type of activity, we find out how strong our habits and attitudes are. Developed over our life times, those two (habits and attitudes) are deeply rooted in our minds and can be hard if not impossible to overcome. Successful change occurs when we set out, on purpose, with purpose to achieve that change. It is here that we must understand the rewards and punishments discussed above regarding accountability. I'll substitute "consequences" for punishment, if you'll allow … it isn't as eternal in nature!
One must list clearly the rewards that will be received for the successful achievement of the goal/resolution you set. You must also list the consequences for the same goal. With those two items accomplished, you will need to now explore all the possible obstacles to your achieving that particular goal … and list them just as you did rewards and consequences. Now you can begin to outline possible solutions to those identified obstacles and from that format begin the journey of consistent goal achievement. Now you must set a date when it is to be completed and assign who it is that is responsible for the goal.
There it is! Plain and simple. Once you've decided to accomplish your goal (anything) search it out in your mind, determine if it is in harmony with your values and beliefs, apply the process I've outlined and you will begin the journey of taking personal responsibility for your life and all your actions will lead to positive results.
Now, it is our hope and prayer that you will commit to doing those things which will bring you Joy and Happiness … find yourself anxiously engaged in service to others, dream big dreams, and with these new found tools make all your New Years Resolutions become reality … and if you lose a few pounds and pay off a few bills I salute you!

As Lance Armstrong faces expensive lawsuits connected with his downfall, the disgraced cyclist sells his Texas estate.
10:49, UK, Thursday 11 April 2013
Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has sold his estate in Austin, Texas.
The 1.7 acre property has been bought by energy dealer Al Koehler for $3.1m (£2m) - home to the Armstrong family since 2004, according to local reports.
It was apparently on the market for £6.5m but the new owner said he paid "nothing close to the listed price".
In an email to the American-Statesman, Mr Koehler, 49, said: "I'm glad this house stayed with a loyal Austinite.
"We can do a lot of good for the city of Austin with this home … I didn't pay anything close to that (listing), but the Austin rumour mill is what it is."
Armstrong's spokesman Mark Higgins confirmed the sale, adding that Armstrong planned to remain an Austin resident. He also owns another home in Hawaii.
Armstrong has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. He was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in August and is banned for life from sports.
At the height of his success, the cyclist took great pride pride in his 7,850-square foot Spanish-style home.
He took two years to do it up and opened it up for parties and fundraising events.
It was featured in Architectural Digest magazine in 2008.
His fortune is estimated at £39m but he is facing a number of lawsuits in the wake of his disgrace.

80's Top Five Playlist – Done!!
Apr 01
music, videos 80's, hair metal, music, videos 2 Comments
So we are heading to an 80's party this weekend and the only thing we are required to bring is a playlist of 5 of our favorite songs from that era. Initially I thought this would be a very easy task, but it turned out to be harder than I thought.
If you haven't seen my earlier post about trying to narrow my songs down from 100 to 40, I suggest you watch the video I posted there. This has been a very painstaking process!
The criteria for picking my top 5 are as follows: What makes me remember being a teenager in my room air guitaring all over the place and what just had that fun 80's rock feel that made you want to be with your buddies?
I'm gonna count down from 5 to 1, so here is my fifth song:
5. Ratt's Round and Round
Ratt was one of my all time favorite bands back in the day. Their music was infectious and groovin' and fun. I picked them from pure nostalgia. I probably listened to more Ratt than any other band.
[viddler id=b3acb226&w=437&h=392]
4. Dokken's Burning Like A Flame
Burning Like a Flame isn't the best Dokken song, I know. I love it and again, this song is chosen from good memories as a teen. I grew up in a small town and we didn't have cable, so I couldn't watch MTV's Headbanger's Ball. I had friends that would tape it for me, and it always seemed that Dokken's Burning Like A Flame was being played. I love the album artwork and I love the entire album.
[viddler id=640e2a83&w=437&h=392]
3. Tesla's Love Song
Tesla just has to be in the top 5. They have sooo many good songs that it was very hard to pick which one I love the most. I figured that the power ballad needed to be represented, and Love Song is one of the best.
2. Van Halen's Summer Nights
5150 was the very first hard rock album that really grabbed my attention. I was in 8th grade when it was released and it turn me onto hard rock for life! You can read another blog I posted about this experience here. So needless to say, I had to pick a song from 5150 just because it was this album that made me what I am today!
(I know the audio quality is horrible on this video, but it was the only one I could find!)
1. Stryper's To Hell With The Devil
Yes, Stryper has my number one song of the 80's!! Even as Van Halen's 5150 made me give hard rock another listen, Stryper's To Hell With The Devil made me give God a second look. This album was a huge catalyst for me becoming a follower of Jesus. I had the above album cover as the big back patch on my jean jacket in high school. I was THAT cool! Again, you can read about my experience here!
(unlike the Van Halen video, Stryper is spot on and sound just like the album! Premiere musicians, these guys are!)
It's been a lot of fun picking these songs. As soon as the party is over I'll be posting pics of all us dressed up goofy and having fun!

Backpacking the wilderness coastal strip of Olympic National Park, a trail takes us through rain forest over the top of Taylor Point.
It seems prehistoric vegetation ) Unusual view.
Glad you like it. The tree trunks spread the way they do because they began as seedlings on top of rotting stumps of former giants. The most successful new trees sent roots down the sides of the stump into the ground, and as the old stumps rotted away, the trees were left standing on huge, spreading roots.
Oh, here in what a riddle)
