Hi, I'm new here and apologize if this question has been covered before.
So, I am about to embark on week 3 of C-5K, but I'm worried, since I'm still over weight (hope this will change) I worry about being strong enough to move beyond week 3. Week 3 seems doable, but week 4 looks scary!
Anyways, I want to do more, and get better and faster, I want to run on my "off" days, I typically do C-5K Tues, Thurs, Sun, but I want to be sure that I can move forward.
I want to run week 2's workouts on Mon and Weds. Is this too much?
A little about me, in case that's necessary, I'm 26, about 180lbs, 5'5" and sometimes my calves get real tight after the 1st couple sets of intervals (any tips for that would be helpful as well). I'm going to run my 1st 5K Sept 15th.
Thanks for your input!
It's great that you've been working the program and want to do more....BUT I strongly caution against overtraining. What I would suggest is stick to the program as it is spelled out and do another form of crosstraining those other 2 days...biking, swiming, hiking, something else that will help you burn fat but NOT running.
Welcome and congrats on you work so far at c25k but I have to agree with Cindi, Crosstraining is a better way to go the adding a couple of days of running. I think if you are neverous about week 4 do week 3 until you feel comfortable to move on while crosstraining making sure you get at least 1 day of total rest for recovery......
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
I would advise you not to run on your off days. During those rest days, your body is recovering from the new stresses you're placing it under with running, and getting stronger in the process. If you don't give yourself those rest days, you're probably going to injure yourself.
If you're determined to do something on your non-running days, you can certainly cross-train. I did elliptical on my non-running days; biking, swimming, walking, and rowing are also good options. A little strength training wouldn't be the worst thing, but I'd go easy on the legs at the get-go.
What is your warmup routine? I know c25k has a five-minute walk at the front end. That was enough for me, but some folks might require a little more. If that's you, it might be worth doing the five minute walk, stopping to stretch a little bit, then moving into the run/walk intervals. It's generally not a good idea to stretch cold muscles; the short walk should get the blood flowing and loosen up the muscles to the point that you can stretch them without being likely to injure yourself.
Good luck!

Time to be patient. I was in same boat as you 10 years ago, decided to ramp up my mileage and ended up with knee problems that lasted for years. Your body needs time to rebuild. If you want to do something on your days off, try building your core.
Don't worry. Just work on W3 for now then move on. I felt the same way. I did w4d1 yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I had scared myself in to thinking it would be. It was doable. And I'm ready to go do w4d2 tomorrow morning. I know when I was struggling through week 1 It felt like it would be impossible to run for 3 minutes let alone 5. But if you follow the program it works. A few repeats here and there until you're comfortable at that level.
Thank you all for the information! It's much appreciated. And I'll fight the urge to run more just yet
Hi Mike,
Just wanted to say I noticed you and I are at the very same point in training. I just did day 2 of week 4 yesterday (Sunday). Oddly enough, I found it tougher than day 1 of week 4. I hope day 3 goes better.
I tried w4d2 this morning. I stopped short and will redo it. But I know what you mean about it being tougher than d1. It was tough the whole time, then in the second 3 minute run my knee and groin were hurting and wiht about 30 seconds let it was bad enough to stop. I did do something differnt today though. I did the majority of the first 5 minute run on the other side of the street than usual (that' s just how the stoplight worked out today) and the sidewalk was tipped opposite and more than what I'm used to. I'll try it again Thursday.
Upon further investigation, I believe Oct. 17th is when card holders can begin getting the discount.
Hey, you sound like you are really getting into the program. That's great!
Here's the word for you: Walking
I would caution you against running the extra days only because your body really does need time to adapt to the pounding and stresses of running. There are muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and even your bones that need time to strengthen. Running day after day when you are new is not a good idea. You need "recovery" days to give your body a chance to build up and avoid injury.
BUT....you can walk all you want! And if weight is an issue, walking will take it off almost as good as running with a lot less stress on your body. If you want, you can literally walk 7 days/week. It will also contribute toward your fitness and help you reach your running goals. Any other "cross training" will work as well such as strength training, cycling, swimming. etc. Good luck with completing your program and running your race!

I've been there, but this doesn't look familiar...Is this the old hospital itself? 'cause when we were there, we couldn't get into the hospital
it's the old men's sanatory, not the hospital itself ... you had to be lucky, to get in there, it was closed down most of the time, due to shootings and filmings
When we were there amost all buildings were closed with wooden boards. All windows, doors and holes were nailed shut...
Real shame...
Still was a good trip though

(LAKE TAHOE, NV) -- Erin Daye's World's Largest Gangbang, scheduled for May 17th, in Columbus Ohio at Club Princeton (www.clubprinceton.com), has had a line up change. Totally Tabitha was been replaced with Lisa Sparxxx from www.lisasparxxx.com. Kyle from EGN Productions the events producer, said that Tabitha had a scheduling conflict and would not be able to attend the event.
Erin Daye, the events main focus contacted Lisa Sparxxx and offered her the position. Lisa Sparxxx, who claims to hold the real gangbang record of 919 guys, shot in Poland in 2004, said she was thrilled to come out of her gangbang retirement, and pass to torch to Erin.
Lisa and Erin have worked together in the past and great mutual respect for one another. The 1001 guy conveyer style line will start with Autumn, from www.autumnshotlips.com, after Autumn gives each guy a nice fluff they will be passed on the Lisa for a two minute round, then finally be allowed to "pop" with Erin. Erin, Lisa and Autumn will each do 1000 guys, then the event will end with a 30 minute bang session for Erin with guy number 1001.
The total duration for the event will be 12 to 15 hours. The event is free of charge and open to the public. Erin says "If the event draws more than 1000 guys, guess we will be fucking all night and into the next day".
The event producer says that all the guys that attend the event with a blood test will be able to bang all three girls bareback, while all non-tested guys will be supplied condoms. Kyle says "our main concern during this event is the health safety of our girls, and out attendees".
Mike South from www.mikesouth.com will be attending the event and bringing his crew of cummers to assist in the big final bukkake scene.
The finally to the Worlds Largest gangbang will be a massive bukkake scene with all the tested guys glazing the freshly gangbang ladies.

A client's theme's index.php has disappeared off the server, as well as the wp-includes/default-filters.php. I'm quite stumped how this could happen! Any ideas?
A client's theme's index.php has disappeared off the server, as well as the wp-includes/default-filters.php. I'm quite stumped how this could happen! Any ideas?
If you believe someone may've compromised your site, why don't you check you access and error logs?
I've done that. And I'm getting error messages that the files are missing. That is all. I checked to make sure that the "show errors" in php.ini was set to yes/true. But other than that, I'm not sure where else to look for these kinds of problems.
I put the files back in. Upon signing out of the website, the files were deleted again. I've read on the forums about several ppl missing this default-filters.php, and the assumption has always been that the download was corrupted somehow. HOwever, this appears to be a different case, or the same case, ruling out the 'corrupt download' theory.
Is there anywhere else I should check for malicious code? Anyone?
It's gone again!!! I reinstalled it. One day later - GONE!!! Anyone have any clue at all?
Greatly appreciated,
Its a virul infection. I have the smae freaking problem. default-filters.php is one of the infected files. Here is what appears in my index.php file...
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
echo "";
echo "";
echo "";

Working with a client I just discovered a similar iframe malware insert in a number of php files including wp-login.php... this one was at the first line of the files, prior to the first
<?php mark.
This was causing users who accessed the website using a PC to have their anti-virus software issue a warning... and it prevented admins from logging into the site.
By deleting the code from a number of files via the control-panel I was able to log back in, upgrade WordPress, change the passwords for all admin-level users, and hopefully prevent further changes to the .php.
I also deleted a subscriber account I didn't recognize and checked the MySQL database to make sure there were no stealth users.
But I wonder whether or not this code is coming in via the web-based blog interface (i.e. using an admin-level account) or via some compromise of the hosting account? Any thoughts on this?
Check this thread for help with cleaning up and preventing future hacks. People do get hacked via shared hosting; from the FAQ:
"Check with your hosting provider. The hack may have affected more than just your site, especially if you are using shared hosting. It is worth checking with your hosting provider in case they are taking steps or need to. Your hosting provider might also be able to confirm if a hack is an actual hack or a loss of service, for example."

All Rise...
The Charge
They have come from another world…to stay.
Opening Statement
In the annals of killer bug movies, I think that the most feared of all creepy crawlies is the eight-legged spider. I don't know about you, but when I see even the smallest of Satan's little minions, I curl up in the fetal position faster than you can say "arachnophobia." In fact, just the other day I was in my parents' basement doing some work when I came across one of those furry spiders that's roughly the size of a Buick and moves just as fast. Needless to say, I immediately lost all bowel control. For those of you with the same problem, maybe you should steer clear of the gooey fang faced mutant-spider-from-another-planet horror movie Arachnid. Produced by Brian Yuzna (Bride Of Re-Animator, The Return of the Living Dead Part 3) and directed by Jack Sholder (Freddy's Revenge: A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2, Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies), Arachnid comes crawling to DVD care of Lions Gate Home Entertainment.
Facts of the Case
Did you ever wonder where giant mutant spider come from? Well, if you're lucky enough to see Arachnid, you'll be surprised to discover that they come from outer space! Yes, I was just as surprised as you, as my initial guess would have been Guam.
After a military aircraft runs headlong into an alien ship using a cloaking device, the pilot discovers that the cute lil' E.T. looking creature is actually carrying a parasite that looks suspiciously like earth's own spiders! Flash forward a while later to a group of scientists who are visiting the crash site to investigate a mysterious virus that's killing off the local island tribesmen. This group includes an aggressive black man, an old Greek guy, a young sexy Caucasian women, a Hispanic lady, a tough-as-nails all American hero, and some ethnic tribesmen. Throw in a midget and a one armed gorilla and you've got the staff of your local Tower Records outlet. As fate would have it the chartered plane carrying this cornucopia of characters crashes on the island leaving them to become one big buffet for a pretty nasty spider. As the group snoops through the forest they will come face to face with the deadliest creature ever known to man: Regis Philbin! Or, if his cameo falls through…mutant alien spiders from BEYOND!
The Evidence
Quite a while ago, I reviewed a little movie from Trimark called Spiders (bonus points to the marketing people for the clever title). This movie wasn't great art—in fact, it wasn't even close to being a paint-by-numbers set. The monster movie featured stupid teenagers and really big spiders who enjoyed doing nasty things to people's faces. All in all, it was a fun little horror flick. Unless you hate spiders. Then it's your worst nightmare come true.
There have been many killer spider movies in the past. Aside of Spiders there's Frank Marshall's Arachnophobia, the Stan Winston effects flick Earth vs. the Spider, and coming this summer is the big-budget Eight-Legged Freaks. The only other movie about an eight-legged blood sucking freak that I can recall is The Prince Of Tides, and we all know how THAT turned out.
Arachnid is exactly what you'd expect from a movie about spiders from space: cheesy, derivative and utterly silly. Let's go down the checklist of B-movie clichés included in this film:
• A sexy heroine that gets down to her skivvies at least once
(even if it's in a dangerous jungle): check.
Yes, Arachnid has all of these things and more. The characters are all paper thin. The effects are mediocre at best. The spider itself appears to be a leftover relic from some 1980s horror movie starring Sybil Danning and Shannon Tweed. The story is one that's been told millions upon millions upon millions…upon millions of times before in B-movies. Take some people, throw them in with a monster and watch the mayhem blossom.
Your enjoyment of this film will rest solely on how much you have to drink. For your convenience, I've put together a handy chart to help you out:
2 Beers = mild fun
Arachnid is presented in what appears to be 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. The package makes no mention of the aspect ratio, but my TV shows it to be 1.85:1—and the good news is it's definitely enhanced for 16:9 TVs. Lions Gate has done a surprisingly good job at making sure that this fairly low-budget bug flick looks better than average. While I spotted a few instances of edge enhancement and grain, they are thankfully kept to the bare minimum. Overall, the colors appeared bright and solid with the black levels well saturated.
The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English. Again, Lions Gate has done a fine job of producing an aggressive soundtrack that works well within the confines of the film. The surround feature is used often, especially when gunfire, bongo music, or screaming comes into play. While this isn't an A-level Hollywood soundtrack, it's certainly better than expected. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles.
The extra features on Arachnid are kept to a bare minimum: a few measly theatrical trailers located under the "Lions Gate" logo in the corner of the main menu.
Closing Statement
Mutant spiders. Special effects on par with Fraggle Rock. Two actors who get half naked in the jungle. It's no Citizen Kane, but it'll do.
The Verdict
Ask me later after the hangover wears off.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Arachnid a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

How Bernards Bins can help expand your business
An article on how Bernards Bins can help expand your business
Getting rid of document boxes is not an option these days. Though we all dreamed of the paperless office, hard copies are still essential. But if you install some extra shelving units, you can store your document boxes more efficiently. Perhaps you could add another layer to your existing shelves, making the most of your vertical space. It is probably a mistake to assume that you have already utilised all the space that you have. Of course, some document boxes may be old and you could encourage staff to have a thorough clearout. Regular recycling can make a difference in the amount of space which is taken up by unnecessary documents, or you could use these http://www.bernardsbins.com/
Of course, it is not only document boxes which can take up much-needed space. Disused equipment, such as furniture or computers, can also be disposed of. You will probably be surprised by just how much of that is taking up room at the moment. In some cases you can donate what you don't need to a charity which can make use of it, or even sell larger items. Shelving is probably the most effective way to save space however. "Here at Bernards Bins, we even sell office shelving with built-in A4 file holders, perfect for your document storage," says Spokesman of Bernards Bins, Bernard Jones. "Metal shelves will support even the heaviest of document boxes. Log on today to experience the highest of quality at the lowest of prices." Our low prices are backed up by this http://www.bernardsbins.com/
If you thought that moving to an area with cheaper rent was the answer, make sure you have looked into storing your things more efficiently first. While it makes sense to save rent, the problem with this is that you could make it more difficult for clients and customers to reach you. Some locations are cheaper for a reason! You might soon regret it if you can't meet a potential supplier as easily for a meeting. Travel costs should also be taken into account. This is both for your staff and for any deliveries that you might have. Above all, if you stick to the same premises, you can experiment with expanding the business without needing to downsize later if it doesn't work out. These are uncertain times, but there can still be some winners even in an economic downturn. Avoid unnecessary risks and consider each decision carefully, and your firm could be one of them. To finish off check this great product out http://www.bernardsbins.com/

I want to establish a connection between 2 PCs. Point is to practice in writing client-server applications and similar stuff. I've heard around, that I can access another PC in network by address like "Router IP:port number". Am I right or i got it wrong?
So how do I configure router to let connections to certain ports? And what would address look like, if I'm, say, connecting to 80 port on my home server?
P.S. Will be grateful for links to some tutorials on this matter, if any.

White House Leans Toward Tighter Enforcement of Taxes
President Barack Obama's initiative to raise new tax revenue to pay for major policy changes likely will focus in the short run on tightening enforcement against businesses and wealthy individuals. In the long run, some experts believe it could lead to sweeping changes in the tax code itself.
White House officials disclosed the tax initiative on Tuesday, saying they intend to explore ways to better enforce the current code as well as improve it by eliminating corporate subsidies and untangling its many complexities. Mr. Obama has assigned the task to his President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, an outside panel of economists and businessmen headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
Administration officials said the group faces two limitations: no tax increases before 2011 and no tax increases on families earning less than $250,000 a year. The task force is to report its recommendations by Dec. 4.
The initiative reflects the Obama administration's re-evaluation of how the U.S. government pays for itself, as lawmakers drop some major proposals from Mr. Obama's budget plans for future years.
A growing number of experts and many lawmakers believe the current U.S. income-tax system isn't raising enough money because it is obsolete. They say the U.S. should consider switching to more efficient means of raising revenue -- for example, taxes on consumption.
"We're shooting ourselves in the foot economically by relying as heavily as we do on income taxes when the rest of the world relies on consumption taxes," said Michael Graetz, a Yale University professor and former Treasury official in President George H.W. Bush's administration. "I think you can tinker with the existing system, but anybody who believes they are going to get enough revenue simply by improving collection of taxes owed is fooling themselves."
The job of the task force isn't to come up with new tax systems "unless it is related to simplification," a senior administration official said Wednesday. "We are about loopholes, simplification, tax gap and corporate welfare." But some top congressional aides said sweeping changes appear to be at least a possibility.
The amount of the annual tax gap -- the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid -- is estimated at more than $300 billion. That suggests much more can be accomplished through enforcement alone.
But only some of that money -- say, $100 billion or so -- is regarded as collectible, according to Internal Revenue Service statistics.
And Congress and the IRS already are making quiet progress in improving compliance among investors and small businesses. Under legislation passed over the last couple of years, for example, securities dealers gradually will become responsible for reporting the purchase price of many securities, to improve investors' compliance on capital-gains taxes. And credit-card companies soon will have to report to the IRS sales at small businesses such as restaurants that have been a chronic source of noncompliance.
Still, some experts say the tax system has a significant room to improve -- if lawmakers can muster the political resolve.
"I think there's enough noncompliance that there could be improvements made, if we can get consensus," said Michael Brostek, who handles tax issues for the Government Accountability Office.
The most inviting potential targets are familiar: offshore tax avoidance and evasion by corporations and wealthy individuals. In recent years, the IRS has made strides in ending abusive offshore tax shelters. But the IRS is just beginning to get access to bank information from many tax-haven countries, so it is hard to measure the progress.
The Obama administration already has announced that it intends to shut down another major source of leakage in U.S. tax revenue -- the generally legal practice by multinationals of parking their overseas earnings in tax-haven accounts that avoid U.S. tax.
Back home, one of the biggest remaining problems is underreporting by small businesses that deal in cash -- as many contractors do. Among the possible further steps: requiring small businesses to use bank accounts, and using the tax code to encourage homeowners to report to the IRS the money they have paid to contractors.
A less-noticed problem is the level of genuine confusion that the complex U.S. tax code generates -- a major source of noncompliance in its own right. As a step toward simplification, Mr. Obama during the campaign proposed relieving millions of workers of the burden of filing income-tax returns, an idea that seems likely to resurface.

Cheney Endorses McCain … but why?
This raises a key question: Does Cheney hate McCain so much that he actually wants him to lose — or is he merely so out of touch that he thinks this endorsement will help McCain?
Obama said in Colorado that congratulations were in order:
I'd like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington's biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney's support.But here's my question for you, Colorado: do you think Dick Cheney is delighted to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going to bring change? Do you think John McCain and Dick Cheney have been talking about how to shake things up, and get rid of the lobbyists and the old boys club in Washington?
Colorado, we know better. After all, it was just a few days ago that Senator McCain said that he and President Bush share a "common philosophy." And we know that when it comes to foreign policy, John McCain and Dick Cheney share a common philosophy that thinks that empty bluster from Washington will fix all of our problems, and a war without end in Iraq is the way to defeat Osama bin Laden and the al Qaeda terrorists who are in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
So George Bush may be in an undisclosed location, but Dick Cheney's out there on the campaign trail because he'd be delighted to pass the baton to John McCain. He knows that with John McCain you get a twofer: George Bush's economic policy and Dick Cheney's foreign policy — but that's a risk we cannot afford to take.

5 Responses to Cheney Endorses McCain … but why?
I believe that from day 1, the real driving force in the White House has been Cheney, not Bush, and personally I don't think Cheney cares whether he's in touch or not.
He has an agenda and he's sticking to it and McCain, if elected, would keep that agenda going. The agenda is oil, coal, his idea of foreign policy and anything that interferes, such as evidence of AGW, has to be stonewalled.
On the other hand; while endorsement from Bush would be the kiss of death to McCain, a total lack of support from the White House has got to be disconcerting to a lot of traditional Republican voters.
The 'nightmare' is almost over (1/20/09). Good luck Barack…you'll need it!
If you haven't watched the SNL skit of Bush endorsing McCain/Palin, do–it's probably the best of the Fey-Palin skits, and includes lots of the themes mentioned in Obama's and TomG's comments. Linked from my name.
I'm glad Obama capitalizing on the irony.
Well, the punch line was this… not even Cheney could endorse McCain/ Palin without choking on it.. couldn't get it out without coughing… the whole thing would be amusing if it weren't so sick.
The arrogance of Cheney to actually think his endorsement is the deal breaker only reveals that he regards the governance of the United States in the same way you run a corporation with hierarchical structure that issues instructions top down.

If you see that a movie is rated PG-13, what does that tell you?
If you're a parent, it may suggest to you that the film is OK for your kids, or at least your older kids. If you're a kid, it may look like a wink, telling you that, despite the approval of your parents, it's still the edgiest content you can see at the cineplex without the movie earning a restrictive R.
In other words, PG-13 is a marketing tool. What it's not: an "advance cautionary [warning] to parents, so that they can make informed decisions about which films their children see." Unfortunately, that's the exact purpose it's supposed to serve, according to the MPAA ratings board.
The ineffectuality of the PG-13 rating has become especially apparent in recent months, argues Fred Schruers at The Wrap, who cites the increasingly violent content of such recent PG-13 movies as 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes,' 'Fast Five,' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.' Given such content creep, how can anyone take PG-13 seriously anymore?
Sure, the rating is accompanied on the poster or in newspaper ads by tiny print listing very briefly what sort of content (violence, language, adult themes) has earned a movie its PG-13 rating. But does the PG-13 give you any indication that 'Apes' will feature scenes of electrocution, animals being tortured, dismemberment and full-on battle between apes and mounted police? Or that 'Potter' will be marked by nonstop grimness and a high body count and show the corpses of several beloved characters? Does it tell you that 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' features frequent profanity (but not in a sexual context, so that apparently makes it OK for kids) and extreme violence, including pulverized bodies and exploding skulls? Does it tell you that 'Limitless' will show its hero stabbing a gangster in the eye, then killing another gangster and drinking his blood?
Schruers notes that, while PG-13 movies are showing such extreme violence and profanity, an otherwise tame and even educational movie like 'The King's Speech' gets an R for one scene with a whole lot of F-bombs that are actually crucial to the plot. Which only seems to prove that the ratings system as a whole is marked by misplaced priorities.
It certainly seems true, as many parents and filmmakers have complained, that the ratings board is a lot more lenient toward violence than it is toward sexual content. Of course, that has been true for years. There's also plenty of evidence (as shown in 'This Film Is Not Yet Rated,' Kirby Dick's 2006 documentary about the ratings board), that the MPAA is more lenient toward films by the major studios (who pay the MPAA's salaries via membership dues) than toward films by independent distributors. After all, the studios depend on the PG-13 rating to sell big-budget films to kids and parents, and when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake, people tend to do what they think their bosses want, without even having to be asked.
That PG-13 is a marketing tool is nothing new; that was built into its DNA. The rating was created at the urging of Steven Spielberg in 1984, after he was stung by parental complaints over the violence and gross-out content of 'Gremlins' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.' As a solution, PG-13 didn't actually restrict any kids from going to the theater (like the R did, or later, the NC-17), it merely warned parents that a movie might be inappropriate for younger kids — while telling older kids it was still OK for them.
Schruers notes this part of the PG-13 rating's history, but he ignores the fact that there was a time when PG content was as violent and profane as PG-13 content is now. Back in 1975, Spielberg's 'Jaws,' extremely scary and bloody, was rated PG. A year later, the potty-mouthed kids of 'The Bad News Bears' also earned a PG. (I should add that I saw both movies as a pre-teen and somehow managed to avoid being emotionally scarred or adding frequent profanity to my vocabulary.)
Excerpt from 'Jaws':
So there needed to be some intermediate rating (as exists in other countries throughout the world) between PG (not suitable for the youngest children) and R (not suitable for any kids under 17 unless they're with their parents). But the PG-13 hasn't really filled the bill. Now, it's little more than what PG was in the 1970s, a way to squeeze as much violence and profanity into a movie as possible without earning an R. Read the descriptions of what each rating means at the ratings board's website. The description for PG-13 is the longest and most complicated, and the one filled with the most hedging over context and exceptions that might make extreme content excusable.
Unfortunately, short of the same mass outrage by parents (and a nudge from someone as powerful as Spielberg) of the sort seen 27 years ago, the ratings board isn't likely to make any improvements. Next year, Schruers notes, we'll see 'The Hunger Games,' in which teens fight each other to the death as televised mass entertainment. The movie's not even finished yet, but can anyone doubt that it will be rated PG-13? And that rating will tell you what, exactly?

News Offender Outtake: The Women's Movement and Sex Offender Laws
posted by March 30 at 10:40 AMon
I have a feature in this week's Stranger about the life and crimes of Jefferson County's only Level 3 sex offender. It's a long piece, but that doesn't mean I could fit in everything I found fascinating about the debate over how best to punish and rehabilitate sexual criminals. Here's one thing that didn't make it into my story:
When I asked Alisa Klein, spokeswoman for the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, why punishments for sex offenders have grown increasingly harsh over the last few decades, she pointed to a force that I hadn't considered: The women's movement.
Speaking for herself, and not for her organization, she told me:
We have seen, pretty much consistently since the 60s, a pendulum swing toward a lot of attention to this issue, and increasingly, every decade since the 60s, a lot of punitive and sort of knee-jerk attention to this issue.
This is due in part, she believes, to the women's movement:
What the women's movement did, because they wanted to get people to pay attention, and take this seriously, is, in my opinion, they threw their lot in with the criminal justice system to be the main system for responding to sexual violence.
Klein believes that violent sexual predators, and other sexual criminals, should be punished. But she also believes many of them can be treated, and should received better treatment than they do. Further, she believes that that the current public focus on extending sentences for sex offenders, and on restricting their movements after they are released back into society, can create a false sense of security.
Most rapes of adult women are committed by someone known to the victim. Most sexual assaults committed against children are perpetrated by someone known to the child (in about half the cases, by a family member). But the current push for harsher and harsher sex offender punishments grows out of public concern over "stranger danger," which itself grows out of highly-publicized cases of children being abducted by strangersa horrifying, but relatively rare, occurrence. (Read more about this phenomenon of televised child abduction stories driving policy in my piece.)
Klein believes that the current focus on "stranger danger" can confuse the public on where the most common danger really lieswith friends, acquaintances, and family members. "It ends up becoming a kind of deterrent to our society's ability to respond before the fact," she told me.
Back to the question of how all of this intersects with the women's movement, here's a letter to the editor we just received about my piece:
I enjoyed Eli Sander's piece on Erik Mart. I'm sorry that the system has so mishandled Mart's case, punishment and treatment. I'm also sorry that he was apparently molested by his father and that society never addressed it.
But I feel even more sorry for the two women he assaulted. I can imagine the absolute terror they must have felt and, later, the furious anger at the audacity of their assailant.
I think this country has severe punishments because we have such severe crimes. But, if we're going to "rate" sexual crimes on a scale, obviously the more violent or repeat offenders should get a higher rating. But how is raping a child more wrong than raping a 30-yr-old woman or a 70-year-old retiree? And this is where the problem of sexual assault runs head long into the issue of feminism and the institutionalized objectification and dehumanizing of females. Until just a few decades ago, sexually assault was considered okay in certain situations.
Today, outside of the U.S. rape is the norm, not the exception, in dozens of countries. Women and children are bought and sold as sex slaves in Russia and other eastern European countries. In South Africa, Egypt and Mexico the incident of sexual assault — including child molestation and incest — is calculated in minutes, not annually.
If our judicial system is taking a hamfisted approach to the treatment of sexual predators, it's still better than what most foreign governments do — which is nothing, partly thanks to misogyny…
— M. Murphy

Where Will The Next Pandemic Come From?
To intercept killer viruses, we need to monitor 'viral chatter' in the wilds of Central Africa and Southeast Asia
In the new movie "Contagion," a character named Beth, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, falls ill after returning from a trip to Asia. Her flulike symptoms quickly give way to much worse: She becomes disoriented, foams at the mouth, and has a seizure on the kitchen floor. Within days, she is dead.
"Contagion" is fiction, but just barely. The bug that kills Gwyneth Paltrow's character is made up, but the risk it represents is entirely plausible. The film's screenwriter did some of his research at Global Viral Forecasting, the monitoring group that I founded, and talked through his initial plot ideas at a seminar that I teach at Stanford.
Since pandemics were first recognized as a serious public-health problem a century ago, the usual approach has been reactive: throw everything you've got at the disease du jour. When there is an influenza threat, drop everything and focus on risks from influenza pandemics. When SARS spreads, focus on unknown respiratory diseases.
This approach helps to quell public concern, but it's a hugely inefficient way to deal with future risks, especially at a time when lethal microbes are frequent fliers. It does nothing to deal with the next unknown viral agent, of the sort dramatized in "Contagion."
We need a different approach, based on our growing capacity to predict the most serious threats and to keep them from spreading. Pandemics do not occur randomly. From malaria and influenza to AIDS and SARS, the lethal microbes have come, in the first instance, from animals, especially wild animals. And we increasingly know which parts of the world pose the greatest risk for future incursions.
My own thinking on these issues dates back to the late 1990s, when I started working with the distinguished virologist Donald Burke at Johns Hopkins University and agreed to establish a field site in central Africa aimed at monitoring humans and animals for new viruses.
Taking a cue from the national-security agencies that scan emails, phone calls and online discussions in order to see patterns in "intelligence chatter," Don coined the term "viral chatter" to suggest the possibility of detecting signals created by new and emerging viruses well before they reach the wider human population. But how could we detect the chatter events—the jumping of novel viruses to humans—that would signal a looming plague?
One of the keys to such surveillance, we found, was to focus on perhaps the most direct interface between humans and wild animals: "bushmeat." Bushmeat is another word for wild game, and it is crucial to the local diet in many parts of central Africa. Where domestic protein sources are scarce, animals ranging from guinea fowl and pythons to monkeys and porcupines often take their place. Collectively, these wild animals harbor an enormous universe of microbes, which can provide fodder for pandemics.
Our early research was in Cameroon, where our overriding objective was to understand why HIV in central Africa was so diverse compared with the fatal but genetically bland and homogenous versions of the virus that hit most of the world. Basically, we wanted a snapshot of what HIV looked like before it went global.
We started by setting up shop in rural villages throughout the country. From the people who enrolled in our studies, we collected blood samples using high-tech tubes that allowed us to easily separate the different parts of the blood when we got it back to the laboratory. We also collected thousands of blood specimens from animals, using baseball-card-size sampling papers that we passed out to hunters. These specimens allowed us to determine what microbes were present.
In Cameroon, we established relationships with 17 rural villages in remote, biologically diverse parts of the country. Twelve of them had unique forms of HIV viruses that were patched together from different sorts of HIV variants, ones that had never been seen together before.
We also looked into the ways that the people of these villages interacted with wildlife. In a study coordinated by Adria Tassy Prosser, an anthropologist and epidemiologist now based at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, we learned that the villagers had an incredibly intimate level of contact with wild animals. The process of butchering gave them direct exposure to virtually all of the blood and body fluids that viruses call home. As we expected, people engaged in hunting and butchering were at the front line of viral transmission from animals to humans.
Over the past 10 years, my team has worked with a range of local collaborators throughout the world to replicate the model developed in Cameroon. We have deployed it in a half-dozen countries in central Africa and also have established programs in China and Southeast Asia, another part of the world where wilderness, poverty and rapid development conspire to bring humans into intimate and potentially dangerous contact with wild animals.
We are also working with universities, international health organizations and governments to bring detailed data from the field and lab together with real-time data from cellphones, social media and other sources. The idea is to create a system that can anticipate viral threats and head them off before they spread.
Our progress so far is encouraging. We regularly detect new microbes, which allows us to identify and follow people who have been infected and might launch new epidemics.
But our efforts are still piecemeal in relation to the scope of the threat. Organizations like Google have built tools for gathering and sorting information that we could barely have dreamt of a few decades ago. We need similar innovations in global health. If Google, as some have said, has helped to create a global nervous system, our aim is to build a global immune system.
What might it look like?
I imagine a 24-hour-a-day global situation room for emerging diseases. Kids just out of college, wearing hoodies and sneakers, would sit hunched over laptops, talking on the phone and instant messaging while mashing together and analyzing massive amounts of disparate data. Large monitors with maps and streaming news would line the walls.
On a given day, the top of the agenda for the analysts might be, say, Nigeria, Dubai and Suriname. Clear signals from the data have elevated the risk profile of these countries to "regular alert," which means that roughly 20% of the team's effort is focused on discussing the situation with on-the-ground team members and local and international health leaders.
One analyst is following "chief medical complaints" filtered and forwarded from a cellphone-based electronic-medical-record system in Lagos. Over the past 30 hours, the frequency with which patients are reporting severe fever has increased steadily from the established baseline, and it matches independent over-the-counter drug purchase data for medications treating fever and malaise. The Twitter and Google trends on terms related to acute viral illness are also spiking.
Within hours the group on the ground in Nigeria will have the potential to upload reams of new genetic data from specimens that are just now being examined. Computer algorithms and bioinformatics engineers will search for the needle in the haystack—the new virus that appears to be killing people in western Africa.
Though some of these tools are beginning to come together in organizations like my own, this scenario is still largely wishful thinking. There is no such control room—yet. The reams of data from electronic medical records do not yet exist, and the data from pharmacies are not yet well coordinated and compiled.
But such a system is exactly what we need—an innovative group devoted entirely to understanding and analyzing biological threats and catching them before they become disasters.
We live in a world fraught with risk from new pandemics. Fortunately, we also now live in an era with the tools to build a global immune system.
—Dr. Wolfe is the Lorry I. Lokey Visiting Professor in Human Biology at Stanford University and the founder and chairman of Global Viral Forecasting, a research institute devoted to the early detection and control of epidemics.

When Sammy starts to dig into what really happened Halloween night, she's amazed at how many people have something to hide. Of course, Sammy's got a few secrets herself. And more than a few tricks up her sleeve.
The Sammy Keyes mysteries are fast-paced, funny, thoroughly modern, and true whodunits. Each mystery is exciting and dramatic, but it's the drama in Sammy's personal life that keeps readers coming back to see what happens next with her love interest Casey, her soap-star mother, and her mysterious father.

Good location. Value for the money.

Given the price, I was expecting a much better experience. While the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the accommodations were sub-par. The room was cheaply furnished and poorly maintained. I have nicer bedding in my own home, and I'm a grad student. There was some kind of allergen somewhere in the room, probably mold, which caused both myself and my partner to wake up sick each morning we stayed. I'm talking nauseating sinus headache. There were stains on the carpet, and at times the water in the sinks ran brown and had an unpleasant smell. I'm not a prissy person -- I'm happy to stay in a Motel 6, but if I'm staying in a motel, I don't want to pay the same rate as I paid at a Hampton Inn, where at least I can expect a clean room. ...

The location was excellent. Right by the water tower, easily located with a left turn at the first red light on to Madison Ave. Left turn from the hotel on Madison takes you directly to the beach and restaurants. If you go straight at the first red light it takes you directly down town for additional tourist shopping and restaurants.

Read the FDA Approves Jardiance to Treat Type 2 Diabetes article »
Unlike sulfonylureas or insulin, an overdose of GLYSET tablets will not result in hypoglycemia. An overdose may result in transient increases in flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Because of the lack of extra-intestinal effects seen with GLYSET, no serious systemic reactions are expected in the event of an overdose.
GLYSET Tablets are contraindicated in patients with:
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Inflammatory bowel disease, colonic ulceration, or partial intestinal obstruction, and in patients predisposed to intestinal obstruction
- Chronic intestinal diseases associated with marked disorders of digestion or absorption, or with conditions that may deteriorate as a result of increased gas formation in the intestine
- Hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its components.

Our LO just turned 4 months old and for the past few weeks has been extremely FUSSY!! Nothing seems to make her happy unless you are holding her. She never used to be this way - she was always a happy and content baby whether you were holding her or not.
She used to love to lay and play in her play gym or try to sit in her Bumbo chair with toys on the tray, now....she isn't happy unless she is being held.
Napping has also become difficult - she won't nap for longer than 15-20 min at a time. Thankfully once she is alseep at night she sleeps pretty well but it has also become difficult to put her down at night.
Anyone else experiencing this ? Could it be a growth spurt ??

September hasn't been kind to Jose Aldo, but things could be worse.
On the first of the month, a day after agreeing to fight Frankie Edgar in Rio de Janeiro, the UFC featherweight champion suffered scrapes and a swollen right foot when the motorcycle he operated was TKO'd by a car in Copacabana. He thought he could still fight Oct. 13. His team did too, and so it seemed the 25-year-old Brazilian would get off easy.
But then news came down Wednesday that that his rear leg hadn't improved. He couldn't plant on it, let alone kick. In fact, infection had set in. His ankle was worse than the foot, so he had no choice but to bow out. An unmitigated disaster in the midst of a terrible streak of injuries that propelled the cancellation of UFC 151 and that shuffled fight cards.
Aldo's situation stood out, and not for any good reason. His wasn't the result of a fluky misstep on a mat like Dan Henderson. Aldo made a decision to sit on a motorcycle, and the odds caught up to him.
To hear Aldo's trainer and manager tell it, though, the talented kid was fortunate.
"For sure he had a lot of luck in this case," Andre Pederneiras said.
Luck? He put down a bike and suffered an injury that ruined a highly sought-after matchup. How is that lucky? To Pederneiras, the answer is clear: Aldo isn't the next Will Ribeiro.
Four years after suffering debilitating injuries when his motorcycle was crunched on the street, Ribeiro's career as a mixed martial artist is long gone. Aldo's former teammate still fights, but in a much different context. He's confined to his home, a third of his skull gone. The right side of his body is essentially lifeless, so he's in a wheelchair all the time. He experiences minimal feeling and movement. He can't see much of anything.
"I just stay in my house and wait to fix my injuries from the motorcycle accident," Ribeiro said. "My wife is everything for me."
Yes, Pederneiras is correct. Aldo is lucky. So very lucky. No one is bulletproof, not a young warrior king like Aldo, though he'll sometimes carry on like he is. The tale of a stud athlete, a champion fighter, almost always mandates that Teflon sensibility to the day-in, day-out rigors of life.
"When I talked with him he said to me, 'I will never drive a motorcycle again. I promise you.' That's what Aldo said," Pederneiras recalled. "But it's like a son, when the son does something wrong and he promises to his father, 'I will never do that again.' If you're asking me if I believe he won't ride again, I need to say to you, I don't know."
Unbelievable -- because Aldo knows Ribeiro; because the high price of messing up on a bike is now a tangible thing; because everything he's so gifted at doing could be gone in a blink.
Beyond Ribeiro, it's not like this sort of thing is unheard of. Frank Mir was a once-beaten UFC champion when his life was imperiled following a motorcycle accident. The hours and dedication it took Mir to return to fighting is incredible. The story has been told countless times. Mir's never been the same. Aldo knows this; everyone around the UFC does.
Yet the fighter gets on a bike anyhow.
When Ribeiro first heard the news of Aldo's accident, his immediate thought hung on a sense of sadness that his friend wouldn't get the fight with Edgar like he wanted. It's in these moments where clear differences between normal people and professional fighters are obvious. Oh, Ribeiro mustn't worry; Aldo is the fortunate one, able to do what he loves again. Perhaps with a deeper sense of appreciation next time. And the knowledge that, despite the lofty words of fans and media, he's a man prone to mistakes and their sometimes awful consequences.

'Tis the season for toy shopping.
Often parents shop for the "must have" item, but it will most likely end up at the bottom of the toy box by the end of January.
Instead, parents should look for gifts with a longer lasting impression or toys that will have some long lasting lessons.
