Can Too Much Vitamin D Be Hazardous to Your Health?
The Institute of Medicine has finally weighed in on the issue of how much vitamin D we should be getting.
As the WSJ's Melinda Beck reports today, the 600 international units now recommended for most of us is three times the old recommendation of 200 IUs, but it's a lot less than what some advocates say we need. Low levels of the vitamin have been associated with a host of ills, including heart disease and some cancers, but that's a far cry from showing that increasing intake will protect against those problems.
Patsy Brannon, a professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell University and member of the IOM panel that produced the report, tells the WSJ that the group paid attention to possible risks of taking too much of the vitamin. The group raised the upper limit of safe consumption for vitamin D to 4,000 IUs, saying that "the risk for harm begins to increase" after that. (It also found a 2,000 IU safe intake ceiling for calcium, the other nutrient covered by the report.)
So what happens when people take too much vitamin D? At very high levels — above 10,000 IUs a day — there's a risk of kidney and tissue damage, the report says. (Here's a list of case reports of vitamin D toxicity included in the report.)
In addition, "the lack of data on the safety of higher intakes of vitamin D when used chronically is very concerning," the report says.
A recent editorial in the American Journal of Epidemiology discussing the issue of anti-cancer claims for various vitamins over the years notes that an analysis of existing research found no association between levels of vitamin D in the blood and several cancers. But it did find that "the risk of pancreatic cancer was doubled for those in the highest quintile of circulating vitamin D levels." The editorialist, Tim Byers of the University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Colorado School of Public Health, continues:
This observation is disconcerting both because pancreatic cancer is now the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States and because the proponents of the vitamin D hypothesis are now arguing that substantially elevating circulating blood concentrations into that range should be a nutritional policy objective for the general population.
Brannon tells the WSJ that the panel also saw a tentative association between death from prostate cancer and other causes in men with high blood levels of the vitamin, though it may not ever be possible to test the validity of those connections.
But it's worth noting that when it comes to vitamins, more is not always better. As Byers writes:
We now know that supernutritional levels of vitamins taken as supplements do not emulate the apparent benefits of diets high in foods that contain those vitamins, and we now know that taking vitamins in supernutritional doses can cause serious harm. In short, we have found that the reality of human biology is far more complex than is suggested by our simple ideas.

Last month I wrote about one man's passion and vision. Every time I go to a car show I get the bug but usually it passes. This year it had been simmering for some time before the Grand National Roadster Show. Just before leaving for the show I found my canvas — I bought a project car, a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint.
I don't have the vision that others do in that I only have a general idea of how I want it to end up. I can't see the finished project in my mind. I know that it will be a "resto-rod" - I want it to look like a period rod but I want it to have modern stuff under the hood and underneath. It must be a capable daily driver and it must be safe.
The Futura Sprint is a 2-door hardtop, a semi-fastback. I'm not going to tell you how much I paid for it, at least not now, but it was reasonable. The body is solid and dent free. The driver's door doesn't match but that's the biggest problem outside. The interior is trashed but it can be resurrected.
The engine is a 289 V8. Originally it was a 2-barrel engine but that manifold and carburetor are long gone; it now has a cast iron 4-barrel manifold. The car came with three carburetors and I'll use one of the Carter AFB 4-barrels.
The engine is not in the car but according to the guy I bought it from who was told by the guy he bought it from, it had been "recently" rebuilt. Recently is relative because the car has been sitting for about five years. The engine was on a stand in a garage. It has a 3-speed automatic transmission, a C4, one of Ford's workhorse automatics. A friend helped me get it home; he has a car trailer. So far I've taken the engine down, checked some crankshaft and rod bearings, and it does appear that it was redone not that many miles ago. The guy I got it from for some reason partially took apart the engine — the timing chain and gears were gone.
I pulled the cylinder heads and oil pan off; the valves, crank and rod bearings look fine. The cylinder walls are in good shape with cross-hatching still evident. I bought a new timing chain kit (chain, crank and cam gears), head bolts (one was missing and there isn't much sense in reusing old bolts when new ones are inexpensive), and engine gasket set.
So far I've installed the timing kit and reinstalled the cylinder heads. One pushrod was missing so I bought one new one. I can't find the blockplate (the thin plate that goes between the engine block and transmission); reproductions are available. The driveshaft is missing and I hope to find a used one.
The original distributor is more or less beat. I haven't decided what I'm going to replace it with although a rebuilt stock one with a Pertronix electronic conversion is one option. I'm putting on some carbon fiber valve covers I bought years ago and a set of Tri-Y headers I had kicking around.
For now this is a low buck project. My goal is to get the engine in the car and running in a month. Then I'll attack the brakes. I want the Falcon to be able to move in and out of the garage before hot weather hits us — Nadine gets to park the Focus in the garage so it isn't an oven when she gets in it.
There's bound to be snags (like the missing parts) but I'll deal with them as they arise.
My ultimate goal is to put disc brakes on the front, a fuel injected 5.0 (302) with a 5-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, maybe a 9" Ford rear end. I don't know about paint — it's black(ish) right now and that's not my favorite color but a color change is pricey. I'm thinking Black Cherry would look good.
Right now I see it as a gussied up Falcon Rally car — big lights in the front, etc. It has some kind of tacky aluminum rims on it now. I'll probably go with 15" steel wheels with Moon discs; I like that look.
This may be my last chance to build a car. I'm almost 65 and I see this as a 5-year project to completion. That would put me at 70 and I figure I'll have a few years of enjoying it on the street. It will be a driver for sure.
I'll post updates at www.brucehotchkiss.net from time to time. I haven't been writing as much as I should; between my part-time job, the Falcon and enjoying life, there aren't that many hours in the day for naval gazing.

Hi there.
I was wondering if theres a way to disable the time/date/author details from posts made in specific categories.
I'm trying to use WP as a CMS, and would like posts (in certain categories) to appear as though they're not just a regular blog post. I'd like them to appear as an individual page (they'll be linked to from an external page, like a "portfolio" page for example), and removing the time/date/author details will help with this... If that makes any sense.
I'd remove the time/date/author from all posts, however i'd like it to still display on the regular blog page/posts, so this wont work. Need to figure out a way of only removing these details from posts belonging to specific categories if possible.
I'd appreciate any help with this! Hopefully it's even possible. Would be terrific if theres a pluging available (had no luck finding one yet).

Ive just been looking at the C&C website - top brands - cricut - accessories and see that on page 2 they have the cricut wifi adaptor - item number 196812 and as the picture is 'coming soon' I assume it is now available. I know someone on the forum was looking for it, but cannot find the message. Hope this helps.
edit - just see Alan's long post - D'oh!

Do We Resist Growth?
Photo of Hannah Young
Just the other night, I was watching the movie 'Abraham Lincoln, the Vampire Hunter'.
As soon the movie got over, my critical mind rejected the concept of 'vampires' by calling that a myth. "Well, it's just a movie." I said to myself.
I found no difference in my skepticism and Mary's (Abraham Lincoln's wife in the movie) that had rejected the concept of vampires as a myth when Lincoln had tried to tell her the truth.
Isn't it funny that our minds jump to conclusions so fast; we either accept or reject things, presuming that we know everything about the world and its mysteries.
But, actually, do we really know everything or is it a technique of mind to not let us have 'an open mind'?
Do we resist changing our beliefs and conceptions, and by doing so, don't we resist growth?
Guess what, it seems that we're afraid at some deeper level that things we reject as 'myth' might really exist…..they may be for real. I mean, who knows?

What are sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections transmitted during sexual contact. STDs are often referred to as sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STDs can be transmitted during any type of sexual activity. Some STDs can be cured with a course of antibiotics, while others persist and are not curable. Some STDs may cause debilitating signs and symptoms, while others may be present without causing symptoms at all. Many STDs do not cause notable signs or symptoms and can be spread by infected people even when they are not aware they have the infection.
Who is at risk for STDs?
Anyone who engages in any kind of sexual activity is at risk for STDs. The only way to completely eliminate the risk of acquiring an STD is abstinence from sexual activity. The use of latex condoms during sexual contact can greatly reduce the chances of contracting many STDs, but no method is completely safe.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have released a report that estimates that 20 million new STD infections occur each year. People aged 15 to 24 account for about half of those newly infected. Young men and young women are about equally affected. According to the CDC, sexually active gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are at greater risk for acquiring STDs. In addition to an increased risk of syphilis, over 50% of all new HIV infections occur in MSM.
What causes STDs in men?
STDs can be caused by different kinds of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Sexually transmitted viral infections include human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), hepatitis B and C, and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8).
Sexually transmitted bacterial infections include syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
Trichomonas is an example of a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite. Infestations with parasitic bugs, such as lice or scabies, can also be transmitted by close contact and may be acquired during sexual activity.

Whether you need to initiate a new complaint for child support, modify the Pennsylvania child support order already in place, or enforce an existing child support order, I will assist you. None of this can take place until the necessary paperwork is submitted to the court, so you must act quickly.
The child support guidelines in Pennsylvania usually determine each parent's financial obligations when a divorce or separation occurs. This consists of determining the monthly incomes or earning capacities of the child's parents. This means that those persons without income can be assessed with an "earning capacity" – the equivalent to what he or she could earn based on their education, skills and previous employment.
As an experienced family law attorney I can ensure that in-depth discussion and analysis of income and expenses occurs. I then document these details and negotiate a child support order outside of court when possible. If the issue ends up going to court I passionately advocate for both you and your child. If you have an existing support order, I can evaluate it to determine if it needs adjustment. Changes in support guidelines are often revised which may mean your order is out of date. Your order may also need revision as your child gets older or his or her needs change.
Child support in Pennsylvania is payable until a child reaches 18 or graduates high school, whichever occurs latest. In situations where a child is physically or mentally disabled, support may be payable for a longer period of time. An order for child support may also require payment of a portion of costs such as medical insurance for the dependent spouse and/or children, medical expenses not covered by insurance, and day care costs incurred while the custodial parent is working or going to school.

"The Supreme Court handed conservatives victories in a raft of 5-to-4 rulings, demonstrating the far-ranging influence of President Bush's two appointees. But the opinions, including closely watched cases involving campaign-finance regulation and student free speech, revealed fissures among the five conservative justices even as the court's rightward tilt drove the four liberals together in unified dissents."
That's the opening paragraph of the WSJ story on yesterday's rulings. If anyone's wondering, "How did we get here?" today's WaPo helps provide the answer. In the third part of a massive four-part series on the vice presidency of Dick Cheney, the WaPo has a sidebar on the Veep's influence on the Supreme Court.
In 2005, with Justice O'Connor's retirement and Chief Justice Rehnquist ailing, Cheney steered the selection committee for vetting potential nominees. The story reports that Cheney, in sessions held at his home, "pressed the interviewees for information that would shed light on the candidates' legal philosophies, demonstrating a sophisticated knowledge of doctrine and, without crossing the line by asking about specific cases, leaving a clear impression of the constitutional issue he considered paramount."
His role in the Supreme Court selection process is unprecedented; senior aides to former veeps told the WaPo their old bosses' involvement was cursory by comparison. "I think one of the reasons that this is a primary interest of Cheney's is 9/11," one participant said. "Questions about every aspect of the government's war on terrorism could come before the courts."
Cheney was unusually vocal on the issue, primarily expressing concern ensuring that potential picks be reliably conservative, reports the WaPo. Said former White House counsel Brad Berenson: "Some of the few times I can remember the vice president speaking up in an Oval Office meeting was on this subject."

Civil libertarians, the League of Women Voters and other voting-rights advocates are supporting a bill to establish a statewide system of early voting.
The bill sponsored by Standish Democratic Rep. Mike Shaw proposes to amend the Maine Constitution to require the Legislature to authorize a process allowing a qualified voter to vote at a polling place in or outside of the city, town or plantation where that voter's residence has been established during a period immediately preceding an election.
It also allows for voting by absentee ballot by citizens for reasons deemed sufficient without requiring in the Constitution that the voter be absent or physically incapacitated.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Maine and other groups planned a news conference Wednesday in support of Shaw's bill.

NEWARK — Ask Newark Memorial High School basketball players what it'll take to win the school's first state championship Saturday and you'll get a one-word answer: "Defense."
The Cougars, who weren't nationally ranked when the season began, have hustled and pressed their way to the state Division I title game in Bakersfield against the heavily favored Westchester Comets of Los Angeles.
Westchester, which is ranked No. 4 in the country, has several top-flight Division 1 collegiate recruits and 10 players who measure 6-foot, 4-inches and taller.
No. 53-ranked Newark Memorial has none.
"On paper it doesn't look good, but that's why you play the game," Newark coach Craig Ashmore said. "Our guys are just really tough and guard people."
It will be Newark's second shot at basketball glory.
In 2000, the school made the Division II state finals only to run into the nation's top-ranked team with a center, Tyson Chandler, who one year later was picked second overall in the NBA draft.
If Newark can pull off the upset this time around, residents better be ready for a party, students said.
"It's going to be Mardi Gras down Cedar Boulevard," said Julian Moncaleano, a 14-year-old freshman, who was trying to find a ride to the big game, scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield.
The school last week charted a fan bus to Sacramento for the Northern California finals, where the team defeated a taller squad from De La Salle. But Newark Memorial couldn't line up a charter for Bakersfield, said Assistant Principal Jonathan Ferrer, who plans to drive down for the game and return the same night.
Victoria Cerda, a 16-year-old junior, said her mother or sister will take her to Bakersfield. "Our team needs support," she said.
The players are keenly aware of what a victory would mean for the city.
"We'll have our name out there" senior forward Khion Sankey said. "No more, 'Who's Newark?' "
They also know they're a big underdog — but if that makes them nervous, they weren't showing it at Thursday's practice.
"If you play defense, you always got a chance," sophomore guard Casey Norris said.
Jisaun Randle a senior forward said of a victory, "It'll show to everyone that playing together and hard work really do pay off."
The game will be televised either live or on tape delay on Fox Sports Prime Ticket and Comcast Sports Bay Area.

I'm new here, and grateful to everyone for their posts--it really helps to read about others' experiences.
My hubby & I sent in the initial email to CC with photos last week, but haven't heard anything from them yet. How long have other people had to wait before CC called back? Should I just call them myself next week?
We are really excited to get going with CC. It has been a long road, having gone through tons of infertility work a decade ago (to no avail), adopting our wonderful son at birth who is now 7 1/2, and now trying to complete our family with 1 or 2 more babies via embryo donation. We are very hopeful that this will be the answer to our many prayers!

Objective Given that small food stores may be important retail food sources in low-income urban communities, our objective was to examine cross-city comparative data documenting healthy food availability within such facilities, particularly those located in low-income areas and nearby schools.
Design Food stores in Baltimore, Maryland; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Oakland, California; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were selected for assessment based on proximity to low-income schools. Stores were defined as: (i) single-aisle (n 45); (ii) small (2–5 aisles; n 52); and (iii) large (≥6 aisles; n 8). Staff conducted in-store audits to assess the presence/absence of twenty-eight healthy items, organized within five categories: (i) fresh fruits/vegetables, (ii) processed fruits/vegetables, (iii) healthy beverages/low-fat dairy, (iv) healthy snacks and (v) other healthy staple foods.
Results The availability of healthy food items was low, particularly in single-aisle and small stores, and there was significant cross-site variability in the availability of healthy snacks (P < 0·0001) and other healthy staple foods (P < 0·0001). No cross-site differences existed for fruits/vegetables or healthy beverages/low-fat dairy availability. Healthy food availability scores increased significantly with store size for nearly all food/beverage categories (P < 0·01).
Conclusions Overall, healthy food availability in these venues was limited. Region-specific factors may be important to consider in understanding factors influencing healthy food availability in small urban markets. Data suggest that efforts to promote healthy diets in low-income communities may be compromised by a lack of available healthy foods. Interventions targeting small stores need to be developed and tailored for use in urban areas across the USA.

Cautioned Brett White can face England
Updated: Tuesday, 29 Oct 2013 17:48 | Comments
Ireland prop Brett White has been cleared to face England in Saturday's World Cup Group A match at Huddersfield.
The Canberra Raiders front-rower was found guilty by an international match-review panel on Tuesday of a careless high tackle on Fiji loose forward Korbin Sims, committed during Ireland's 32-14 defeat by the Pacific Islanders in Rochdale on Monday night.
White, who was making his Ireland debut, was issued with a formal caution.
A World Cup spokesman said: "The caution will remain on White's record for the duration of the tournament."

I bought an A/C Compressor and when I got it, it was missing parts that should be with it to function in my car. It was missing a pressure switch and pressure valve. Rock Auto kept ignoring my emails and a PayPal dispute I made claim of. I called Rock Auto up and explained the problem and they said the company they go through that is named GPD doesn't supply those parts with the compressor. They said I had to go buy them. I just paid $189.79 not including shipping for it and close to $20.00 shipping.
Those parts should of been installed in the a/c compressor during the rebuilding process. Rock Auto should have stated on their website those parts are not included with the compressor; but they did not. I would not have bought it knowing two parts were missing that are very important parts that must be in that a/c compressor. [continued below]....
I asked them more than once for a prepaid RMA to ship it back; but they decided to make me pay to ship it back. That is totally wrong. I spoke to customer service at PayPal and the representative agreed what Rock Auto is doing to me is wrong. This is just plain out bad business practices and I will never buy parts from them ever again. They lost a good customer that bought 100's and 100's of dollars in automotive parts from them; but never again will I buy anything they sell.

A Note from the Guest Editor
Wouldn't it be nice if there weren't any barriers? If anyone, at any time, in any circumstance, could get the information they need when they need it, in the form or format they need it in? That's what accessibility is about. According to the latest statistics, one in five people has a disability of some sort, whether it's permanent or temporary, acute or chronic, acquired or congenital. The problem, of course, is that many items, both physical and virtual, are created for the 80% without disabilities. This is changing as countries enact new laws and as people realize that barriers… Read the rest

Woman Sues MAC for Contracting Herpes from RiRi Woo Lipstick
Moral of the story: There's always something disgusting lurking in a lipstick tester
Starkeema Greenridge, a 28-year-old from Harlem, claims she got herpes from a used tube of RiRi Woo that a MAC representative applied to her at a concert. And she's filed a suit against MAC in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
Greenridge told the NY Daily News that the lipstick-induced herpes resulted in "mental anguish and emotional distress." Greenridge says she wants the company to shift its sanitary practices by using disposable tubes and application tools. But let's be real, she probably wants that giant sum of money more than she wants disposable lipstick tubes.
While herpes is no laughing matter, I think Greenridge was crazy to allow anyone at a makeup counter to directly apply lipstick to her face -- whether it's been sanitized or not. Come on, doesn't everyone know by now that studies have shown staph, strep, and E. coli live on samples at drugstores, specialty stores and even high-end department stores. You might as well be kissing a toilet seat the next time you swipe on a communal lipstick tester.
Then there's the whole "wait, you can get herpes from lipstick?!" conundrum. Unfortunately, yes, you can. Since oral herpes is spread through contact with secretions, if anyone who tried the lipstick had an open cold sore or even got saliva on the lipstick (ew), then the virus could have been transmitted.
We'll see how MAC responds to the lawsuit (and keep you posted). But in the meantime, puh-lease stop using the testers at the makeup counter directly on your face, and safely compare lipstick streaks on your hand instead. Thank you.

Tuscaloosa AU Hosts Rev. Barry W. Lynn Tonight
The Tuscaloosa Chapter is hosting an event tonight featuring AU Executive Director Rev. Barry W. Lynn. The event begins at 7:00PM at the Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham. Lynn will speak on the topic, "A Day Without Separation of Church and State." The event is free and open to the public and will include time for Q&A at the end.
Lynn will address various threats to church-state separation and explain why this concept benefits all Americans, religious and non-religious. "If the United States backs away from its historic commitment to real religious liberty, we'll see a lot more than a return of government-drafted prayers in public schools," Lynn said. "If separation of church and state is lost, the civil rights and liberties of the majority of Americans will be in jeopardy."
Check out the Events Calendar on AU's web site for more details. You won't want to miss this!

This opens the door to a whole new round of collaboration deals with far more favorable terms.
SGEN has hit critical mass. Best on class. Protected from biosimular competition and the space that every biotech investor should want to have a part of.
"This is an ADC targeted to CD33 that we will evaluate in acute myeloid leukemia. It employs our next-generation ADC technology, a new linker, a highly potent class of cytotoxic agent termed a PBD and a novel antibody incorporating our proprietary site-specific conjugation technology involving engineered cysteins, which we call an easy math. We expect to submit an IND for SGN-33 -- CD33A in the first half of 2013. We are very excited to bring our newest technology forward to apply this to a difficult to treat disease. "
Very interesting to see the PBDs advancing. Was this derived from a deal with Spirogen? Can't see to find anything specific on that. Genentech has a deal from Spirogen (2011 press release) for evaluation of the PBDs. Looks like Spirogen has evaluation deals with other biotech/pharma too but specifics don't seem to be disclosed. Can't seem to dig up anything specific on Spirogen/SGEN either, but the SGN-33 ASH abstract is linked under news on Spirogen's website...
Hopefully we'll get some clarity on ownership of the technology, terms of the deal (if any), # of targets SGEN has rights to, etc, post ASH? Unclear whether this actually opens up door to whole new round of collaboration deals for Seagen or perhaps future competition? Good to see them pursuing all options for advancing the best internal product candidates either way though!
Sentiment: Buy
Just to clarify, from SGEN 4/3/12 press release: "Under an agreement with Spirogen, Seattle Genetics has developed a single PBD molecule that is being evaluated for future clinical-candidate ADCs."
haven't been able to find more specifics about the deal and what rights SGEN has to this specific PBD molecule.
engineered cysteins, which we call an easy math
ec mAb
FYI, CD33 is also the target of Pfizer/Wyeth's ADC Mylotarg for AML that had been withdrawn from the market. Pfizer continues to use calicheamicin for other ADCs while also trying MMAE.
Interesting that we are now going through the period of a new dynamic advancement in a technology where SGEN has been best in class. Continued growth through lower hanging fruit in the milestone achievements, continued usage of Adcetris and expansion coming in the EU and Canada.
Plenty of cash on hand and therefore little chance of dilution. SGEN stay on course.
Not just a dynamic advancement for SGEN but a new paradigm in the way cancer is viewed, defined and treated. Adcetris is not a lymphoma treatment. It is a CD30 malignancy treatment, an expression which may span many cancers.
It is relatively toxin and side effect free, allowing for the potential of life long treatments.
Patients will one day not dread and fear the worst word in the English language. Cancer!
Coming is the time when a patient may get their treatment and return to work in the same day. All thanks to ADC's and the work being done here.
Analysts may not be in love with SGEN's 2013 guidance but I can tell you that the best, smartest academic oncologists in this country LOVE Adcetris. That's where the rubber meets the road.

Steven Spielberg to direct The BFG
Steven Spielberg is set to bring a new take on Roald Dahl's The BFG to the big screen...
Kathleen Kennedy reported back in 2012 that a live action adaptation of Roald Dahl's The BFG was being worked on and nearly ready to shoot, and seemingly the main hurdle to the production starting was the lack of a director. Well, they've found one. Quite a good one too: Steven Spielberg has confirmed that it will be his next big project with production expected to begin in early 2015. This gives him the flexibility of tackling a smaller project in the meantime should he fancy it.
The plot of the book is one many of you will be familiar with, with the BFG a giant who teams up with a girl called Sophie to stop far nastier giants. And what's interesting here is that the notoriously picky Roald Dahl estate - itself an extension, of course, of the ethos of the notoriously picky Roald Dahl - has allowed a further feature to be made (an animated version had previously been produced).
E.T. writer Melissa Mathison has penned the screenplay and Frank Marshall, John Madden and Michael Siegel are serving as executive producers. With what is essentially an all star team of Amblin Entertainment working on such a classic book, it's hard not to get excited for this.

Five for Fighting
Jurassic 5 is known for its throwback sound, which harks back to hip-hop's golden age. Although purists have always gravitated toward the group's old-school-inspired music, the crew is looking at gaining a wider audience with its latest effort, Feedback, which features collaborations with Dave Matthews and super-producer Scott Storch, as well as a video that takes shots at George W. Bush. Soup (aka Zaakir) let us in on the details of the new project.
Westword: Some fans were surprised with the album, which is a little more radio-friendly, saying it isn't the nature of J5.
Soup: But it is the nature of the Jurassic 5. The funny thing about it is, we do the music, we come up with the concept, and we think of all this stuff that we've ever put out. But it's funny how people feel they know who you are better than you. I've heard that, too: "It's not a natural J5 song." But yes it is; whatever we make is a natural thing. The thing is, that's not what people expected us to sound like, because people had us pegged. They tend to put you in a box, and I think that's what people did. People want to hear the EP, or Quality Control, or Power in Numbers a hundred times. So, nah, man, don't expect. If it's good, gravitate toward it, and if it's not your cup of tea, find something else.
One thing fans didn't expect was the absence of Cut Chemist. Why didn't he participate?

He wanted to do his own solo thing. There's no bad blood, but I think he could have handled it better than the way he did. Still, there's no bad blood, and I don't wish anything to happen to him. My thing is, now he's on his own two feet, so if it flops, that's on him, and if he blows up, that's on him. There's no one to point the finger at; it's just his thing. He's a grown man, as we all are, and he's entitled to do his own thing.
People are talking about the video for ŒWork It Out,' where you make fun of George W. Bush. How did you come up with the concept?
The Malloy Brothers, who directed the video, came up with the idea. It was originally supposed to be Will Ferrell, but his schedule didn't mesh, or he didn't want to do it. But we still liked the idea, so the Malloy Brothers said, "What if we take the president and make him work out during the video?" I thought that was way better than Will Ferrell. But we're not saying anything about the president that hasn't already been said. Saturday Night Live makes fun of the president all of the time. So us coming out with this video, we're not doing anything that they're not doing. It's got some fun and lightheartedness, but at the same time it has some serious issues that affect everybody.

TAMPA — La Cage aux Folles is like the full employment act for drag queens. Sometimes, a woman is slipped into the well-muscled chorus line at the naughty nightclub on the French Riviera, but darned if I could tell if there was any double gender bending in the revival that opened Tuesday at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. This is one show where the wig and makeup designer (Richard Mawbey) gets prominent billing, and deserves it.
The greatest drag queen of all is Albin — stage name Zaza — the headliner who gets his heart broken when the young man raised by him and his partner, the suave emcee Georges, won't invite him to his wedding. Jean-Michel, the thoughtless groom, fears that the flamboyant (is there any other kind?) transvestite who was like a mother to him will offend his father-in-law-to-be, a homophobic morals crusader.
Christopher Sieber gives a bravura performance as Albin, who enters wearing a terrycloth robe and fiddling with the yellow rubber gloves he wore to debone a chicken, but soon becomes the "ravishing, sensual, fabulous" diva Zaza. The transformation takes place during A Little More Mascara, which Sieber sings at his dressing room table, gradually going from aging queen in a corset to a creature of glamour and fantasy: "And everything's ankle straps, marabou and Shalimar!" (Marabou is a stork whose feathers are used in millinery.)
I Am What I Am is the great gay anthem, and Sieber's rendition to bring down the first act's curtain is incredibly powerful. Just as effective — but so different — is his deft comic turn as he rehearses to meet the bride's parents, not as Albin but as butch Uncle Albert, learning to walk and pick up a piece of toast like John Wayne.
As a celebrity put into the show to sell tickets, George Hamilton fulfills his main function as Georges, but he is a flaccid foil to Sieber's Albin. At 72, Hamilton still looks like a million bucks — the leonine silver hair, gleaming toothpaste smile and, yes, a terrific tan — but his timing always seemed a half beat off on opening night. This was Georges as TV game show host, not a wicked, witty cosmopolitan. Hamilton's husky baritone was serviceable enough in the touching duet, Song on the Sand, but he had run out of gas and was nearly inaudible by the boffo finale.
The relationship of Georges and Albin is what makes La Cage tick, but it's impossible to take your eyes off the Cagelles, six high-kicking queens in skimpy drag who open the show with We Are What We Are. They embody Lynne Page's choreography, such as an inventive bird cage number, and costume designer Matthew Wright had a field day dressing them.
La Cage is the gayest musical around, even with the recent arrival of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, but what makes it universal is the heartfelt emotion in numbers such as Look Over There, Georges' homage to the enduring love of Albin. And being a Jerry Herman score, it has plenty of hummable tunes, like Jean-Michel's ballad to his fiance, With Anne on My Arm, and the buoyant sing-along The Best of Times.
As Albin's butler/maid, Jeigh Madjus is a scene stealer par excellence. Gay Marshall is fun as the perky restaurant owner, Jacqueline. Dale Hensley plays Francis, the stage manager who has an ill-advised fling with "Hanna from Hamburg" (Mark Roland), the showgirl with a whip. As Jean-Michel and Anne, Billy Harrigan Tighe and Allison Blair McDowell are good-looking ciphers. Anne's parents, played by Michael McCormick and Cathy Newman, get their just deserts in the outrageous denouement.
This La Cage, which was directed by Terry Johnson for London's West End before going to Broadway, is an improvement on many stagings of the musical, because it captures the small-time, somewhat seedy drag scene that book author Harvey Fierstein conceived, though there is still loads of glitz and glitter (and clever use of beach balls). Joey Chancey conducted the band — including a concertina for that Edith Piaf touch — which is split between twin balconies in Tim Shortall's set.
Before the show, Lili Whiteass (Todd Lattimore), a statuesque blond in frilly pink, warmed up the audience with insults and patter that owe quite a lot to Dame Edna.

Earth has always had two moons orbiting it at any one time, claims a new study.
The astronomers have found that Earth's gravitational pull captures at least one small celestial object of 1-meter diameter passing nearby.
It is still not clear how gravitational system captures the object but, Mikael Granvik of Cornell University said that "there should be at least one natural Earth satellite of 1-meter diameter orbiting the Earth".
The discovery
The researchers discovered an object named RH120 in September 2006, orbiting the Earth which turned out to be a small asteroid just few meters wide. The object kept on orbiting till 2007 before moving out from Earth's gravitational field.
This discovery has a vast implication as NASA is looking to send astronauts to asteroids in the near future.
The research is based on the study of only one celestial object RH120, as mentioned in the research paper.
At any given time there could be a secret moon orbiting Earth. These objects usually make three revolutions in about 10 months.
Asteroid mission
This discovery has a vast implication as NASA is looking to send astronauts to asteroids in the near future.
Sending them to asteroids revolving in Earth's orbit instead millions mile away is a much feasible and safer option.
The research team said, "The scientific potential of being able to first remotely characterize a meteoroid and then visit and bring it back to Earth would be unprecedented."
The study is published on the website of the Cornell University.

BPC professor stays busy with academic honors
By Kelley M. Arnold
Director of News and Public Information
MOUNT VERNON – Dr. Ben Caston, assistant professor of music at Brewton-Parker College, had a very busy January.
Caston, who is the director of the college's Baron Ringers, served as the director/choral clinician for the Georgia Baptist Convention's 2007 Youth REELfest Jan. 19-20 in McDonough.
Then, the following weekend, he presented a paper on the selected songs of Stephen Dankner at the third annual New Voice Educator's Symposium held at the University of Indiana.
REELfest attracts about 600 high school age students who form a choir, which sings "en masse" traditional and contemporary music in a church setting, Dr. Caston said. These students filled the Salem Baptist Church (McDonough) sanctuary to capacity with physical—as well as spiritual—presence, he added.
As director of the event, he oversaw the mass rehearsals and directed the choir as they performed in a worship-style service Saturday evening. REEL is an acronym for Refocusing Energy on Exalting the Lord. The Georgia Baptist Convention says the festival "allows students to bring new levels to their spiritual growth through music." Dr. Caston was thrilled to be a part of it.
"Since 1998, God has given me a passion for youth choirs," he said. "It's something God has laid on my heart. The opportunity to direct the Youth REEL festival choir was really monumental for me."
This was Dr. Caston's first time working with the convention's REELfest. It was also the first time he has had an opportunity to present a paper at the prestigious University of Indiana Jacobs School of Music.
"I never dreamed I'd get the opportunity to go to Indiana University, let alone present a paper there," Dr. Caston said of the symposium.
The New Orleans Baptist Theological grad ('05) answered a call for papers for the third annual symposium, hosted by the Indiana University Student Chapter of National Organization of Teachers of Singing (NATS). His paper was one of 15 chosen to be presented at the weekend conference Jan. 26-27. His paper, "Selected Songs of Stephen Dankner (b.1944)", is an extension of his doctoral dissertation.
Dr. Caston met Dankner, an American contemporary composer, while both were living in New Orleans; Dr. Caston was then a doctoral student and Dankner was working at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, which boasts Harry Connick Jr. and the Marsalis brothers among its alumni. Through personal interviews with the composer and attending performances of his works by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Dr. Caston was able to describe 10 selected songs and explore Dankner's use of word painting, or the manipulation of musical elements to depict the meaning of a song text.
"Not a lot has been written on (his songs) before. I found a hole in the research and tried to fill it."
"As a faculty member in the Division of Music, Dr. Caston contributes in many ways to the work of the College. However, he is active in sharing outside the college community, as well," said Dr. Glenn Eernisse, chair of BPC's Division of Music. "The invitation to present a paper in a prestigious setting such as the University of Indiana speaks well for his scholarship, and his involvement with the Georgia Baptist REELfest youth music event is evidence of his gifts as a conductor. We are certainly proud of Dr. Caston and his many accomplishments."
The Liberty, Mississippi native has served in music ministry since 1994 in Southern Baptist Churches in Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia. He was minister of worship and students at Oak Park Baptist Church of New Orleans from 1999-2005 prior to joining the BPC faculty in August 2005. Currently he leads the music at First Baptist Church of Perry. At Brewton-Parker, he teaches Survey of Music Literature, Music Appreciation, Introduction to Handbells and Applied Voice.
A lyric tenor, his recent performances include Camille Saint-Saëns's "Christmas Oratorio" with the Hilton Head Choral Society and Orchestra, Honneger's "King David" with the Brewton-Parker College Choral Society and Orchestra (April 2006) and Handel's "Messiah" with the August Choral Society and Orchestra (Dec. 2005, April 2006). He is currently preparing a song recital for March 2007. A member of NATS and Georgia Baptist Convention's Sons of Jubal and Jubal Chorus, he will travel to Russia with the Sons of Jubal mission trip in April.
He and his wife, Rebecca, live in Mount Vernon with their 19-month-old son, Clay. They are members of First Baptist Church of Vidalia.

Peter Quinn's The Man Who Never Returned is a page-turner noir novel based on the true unsolved mystery of New York State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Force Crater's disappearance on August 6, 1930. Fintan Dunne, the detective who readers will recognize from Quinn's Hour of the Cat, has retired to a life of leisure with his beloved wife in Florida when a mysterious phone call pulls him back into the irresistible draw of New York and its uncovered secrets. He takes on an assignment from media tycoon Walter Wilkes to solve a 25-year-old case that the police have long given up on. As Dunne becomes further entangled into a web of dead ends, unconnected leads, deceptive testimonies and Wilkes' femme fatale assistant, Adrienne Renard, Quinn masterfully crafts a forceful narrative whose revealing ending doesn't disappoint.

The latest installment in Declan Hughes's series of novels featuring Dublin private investigator Ed Loy, The City of Lost Girls is a fast-paced crime novel about a serial killer in post-Celtic Tiger Dublin that had my interest from the very first page. Hughes opens with the serial killer's internal dialogue, sending immediate shivers down your spine and setting the stage for an exciting 300 pages. The author's use of language and perspective propels the story forward and is at times quite beautiful. Although the story is mainly about stopping the killer, the moments when the characters pause to contemplate their city and its financial troubles allow for intermittent commentary on the state of modern Dublin. With its fast-paced plot, lovely language and well-drawn characters, City of Lost Girls is immensely satisfying.

Ed Moloney is an Irish journalist who has made a career out of recording the history of the Troubles and of the Provisional IRA. In 1999, Moloney faced possible jail time when he refused to hand over notes he had made from an interview with British soldier Billy Stobie regarding Pat Finucane's murder. Despite this incident, Moloney has continued writing about the Troubles in his latest book, Voices from the Grave. Funded by Boston College, the sizable tome recounts IRA and UVF activity from the late 60s up to the Good Friday Agreement through the eyes of IRA operative Brendan Hughes and politician and UVF figure David Ervine. Combining large sections of candid interviews with Hughes and Ervine, who remember these events with astonishing detail, with precise historical context, Moloney's journalistic style pairs well with the jarring pictures of violence provided by his interviewees. Particularly interesting is Brendan Hughes' description of Provisional IRA activity that has been kept secret for years, including Gerry Adams' involvement with the group, a detail that Adams has fervently denied. Both Hughes and Ervine are now dead, making Voices from the Grave a definitive historical text in that, as the blurb on the book jacket suggests, these men "had nothing to lose by telling the truth." With few other recorded examples of paramilitary figures discussing the destruction and killings surrounding the Troubles, Voices from the Grave is an important addition to its field and an engrossing read.

From rags to riches, Sir Thomas Lipton personified the American dream of making it big. Born in the slums of 19th century Glasgow, Lipton sailed to the U.S. as a boy. His story, in which Lipton eventually established himself as a millionaire sportsman mingling with Wall Street elite and European royalty, is finally told by Michael D'Antonio in A Full Cup: Sir Thomas Lipton's Extraordinary Life and His Quest for America's Cup. D'Antonio, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, vibrantly describes Lipton as an affable raconteur whose incredible life was the product of hard work and good service. Once in the U.S., Lipton opened a chain of grocery stores and gained international success and wealth as the creator of his namesake tea.
The true focus of the book is Lipton's desire to win the America's Cup sailing regatta. Winning the match to secure the coveted cup, the oldest trophy in international sports, would be Lipton's last adventure, and though he participated in the event five times, he never won. Already famous in his day, Lipton became the underdog of the contest and charmed the American public despite his losses. D'Antonio, with great admiration for Lipton's unwavering spirit, writes A Full Cup in light of this underdog quality, depicting Lipton's ascent to fame as inspirational and worth celebrating.

|Defenseman Brian Campbell (left) and forward Kris Versteeg (right) are one of the new players brought in over the summer to go with holdover forward Stephen Weiss (center).
When acquiring a new player, it usually takes some time for the individual to get adapted to a new coaching philosophy and playing style of other players. Now imagine the task that head coach Kevin Dineen has after an offseason that brought in 12 new players (including defenseman Erik Gudbranson who as the Panthers top pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, made the opening night roster).
Dineen, in his first year, gets to be the interior decorator of this new look Florida Panther team. His early season assignment is to get all the new pieces to fit, and to fit early. He recognizes that it will be a challenge, but he's been in this position plenty of times before.
"In my six years there, there's probably about 70 percent change in your lineup year to year," said Dineen about coaching in the AHL for the Portland Pirates where turnover is the norm. "That's just the nature of the game. There's players coming up from junior, first-year pros, there's guys who have played in the NHL that are trying to re-establish themselves at that level. So I think you get used to that in the American league. You have to get everybody on the same page, and that's what's really exciting for me, to have that nice window of time to spend some time together as a group before we start the regular season."
The Panthers had six preseason games and training camp to get prepared for the regular season. If you look at their record (1-4-1) on paper, you will see they didn't have much success. However, just getting these players experience playing with each other is good enough. Players like Tomas Fleischmann and Kris Versteeg made an immediate impact on the team, Fleischmann recorded a goal with two assists and Versteeg had a goal with one assist for the preseason.
There was plenty of positivity coming out of this offseason, but there was still one major question to be answered, who was going to be their goalie? With Scott Clemmenson out with a knee injury, it was Jose Theodore's job to lose, and that he almost did. Theodore would go on to have an offseason he would like to forget, but coach Kevin Dineen still had faith in his old netminder plugging him in as the starter for opening day.
The Panthers would start the season off right, in their first regular season game, the Panthers would go on to beat the New York Islanders 2-0. Their success on this night was due to two newly acquired players, Brian Campbell and Jose Theodore. Campbell would play 30 minutes of ice time while logging two assists and Theodore would go on to have a shutout, saving 27 shots.
Even though the Panthers would lose their next game 4-2 to the Penguins, they are still 1-1 for the season. The Panthers seem to be ahead of schedule on the learning curve, by getting a win in their first game of the season. It will be interesting to see how this team progresses over the season. As of right now, Dineen and the new look Panthers have some work to do, but they're not too far off.

|Goaltender Jose Theodore, one of seven Panthers signees this off-season posted 15-11-3 record with Minnesota last season.
Looking for a netminder on July 1 after unable to come to terms with Tomas Vokoun, the Panthers quickly made a call to a former Vezina Trophy winner as free agency started.
Jose Theodore, was their target, and the veteran 35-year-old goaltender quickly signed a two-year contract with the club. Theodore has seen plenty of action during his 13 seasons in the NHL (581 games) and though Theodore is coming off a season in which he was a backup with the Minnesota Wild, he is capable of being a starter and producing a winning season as he has had six of them in his career. He also has played in more than half of his team's games in eight of his seasons.
"Jose is a veteran goalie who has won both the Vezina and Hart Trophy," said Tallon at the time of the signing. "He has played in more than 500 games in the National Hockey League, earning more than 250 wins, and adds depth and experience to our team."
With backup goalie Scott Clemmensen out with a knee injury, Theodore is going to have to carry the early season load. If you look at last seasons games played (32) you might be worried how he could hold up for the whole season, but in an interview Theodore stated he could have played in up to 55 games last season and that he wants "to return to playing at a high level."
Theodore didn't get off to a good start in a Panthers jersey, in his final start of the preseason he surrendered seven goals. That followed a game in which he allowed five goals. Coach Kevin Dineen had faith in his netminder, he believed that once the season started he would be ready to play.
Dineen was right, in his first regular season game for the Panthers, Theodore shut out the Islanders 2-0. Theodore now has 31 shutouts in his career, hopefully there will be plenty more of that to come in this young season.
"Things didn't go as planned during training camp,'' said Dineen to the Miami Herald, "but he's a professional. He has played in Montreal, where everything is magnified to such a high level. He's patient.''
Theodore, starting in the most important position on the ice, will be an important player to watch this up-coming season.
.916 - Recorded a .916 save percentage last season with Minnesota, his highest save percentage since 2003-04 when he had a .919 save percentage with Montreal.
7 - Had a career-high seven shutouts during 2001-02 season, helping him capture the Vezina and Hart Trophies.
40 - Started the season in 40th place among netminders in victories with 260. Added another one against the NY Islanders in game one of the 2011-12 season.
67 - Played in career-high 67 games twice, during the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons with Montreal.
77 - Recorded 77 victories in the previous three seasons with Washington and Minnesota. Had a .606 winning percentage while going 77-35-15 over that span.
POSTED ON Friday, 10.7.2011 / 4:55 PM ET
|Forward Tomas Fleischmann, one of seven Panthers signees this off-season posted 21 points in 22 games with Colorado last season.
After missing more than half of the season last year, Fleischmann is itching to get back on the ice and start a new season. He might have only appeared in 45 games last season, but in his previous three campaigns, he has averaged 72 games. His health is no longer an issue coming into this season after recovering from the blood clots found in his lungs . Therefore the main question is, how well will he fit into the Panthers first line plans?
Fleischmann was one of seven players acquired via free agency over the offseason to start the season with the Panthers, but to GM Dale Tallon, he has the potential to be the staple to this year's offseason.
"Tomas Fleischmann," Tallon said with a smile, "is going to be something special."
Starting off the 2011-12 season on the first line, Fleischmann will be asked to carry a lot of the offensive load this year. What he will benefit from is that he gets to play alongside other talented forwards like David Booth, Stephen Weiss, Scottie Upshall and Kris Versteeg.
"He hasn't reached his peak yet," said Tallon. "His numbers are just going to go up. He's a very skilled guy who makes other players better."
Others are labeling Fleischmann as a "wildcard," but Tallon sees something special from this young forward. He believes Fleischmann has the ability to score and make plenty of plays if the offense focuses on him.
It's not like he hasn't performed before, it was only two seasons ago when Fleishmann scored 23 goals and added 28 assists for the Washington Capitals.
Keep an eye on him this season, because if he can remain healthy for the majority of the season, Fleischmann has the capability to improve those numbers and even become a star in the Panther offense.
.955 - Points a game that Fleischmann averaged last season in Colorado, posting 21 points in 22 games after being acquired from Washington.
3 - Recorded a hat trick, including the game-winner December 15, 2010 at Chicago for Colorado.
6 - Had six multi-point games this past season split between Washington and Colorado.
21 - Averaged just 21 penalty minutes in last four seasons while averaging 66 games played.
51 - Recorded career high 51 points during 2009-10 season with Washington.
POSTED ON Tuesday, 10.4.2011 / 4:31 PM ET
|Forward Kris Versteeg, who already has three seasons of 20-plus goals was acquired by the Panthers from Philadelphia on July 1.
Versteeg, at only 25 years old, has already scored over 20 goals three times in his career. Selected 134th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, some would say that he has exceeded expectations as a player.
GM Dale Tallon has been a believer since the beginning of his young career. Back in 2007, Versteeg was acquired by the Chicago Blackhawks through trade with Boston. Fast-forward a couple of years and now as Panthers GM, Tallon acquire Versteeg again via trade in a deal with Philadelphia for a 2012 or 2013 conditional second round pick as well as a 2012 third round pick. Versteeg would be one of 10 new players added during the offseason.
"(Versteeg) is versatile enough to play any forward position and brings passion and commitment to the rink every single day," Tallon said.
Heading into this season, Versteeg will need to become a key contributor to the Panthers offense. He will be asked to provide that offensive spark, scoring plenty of goals while adding some assists.
"When I came here I almost feel like I'm home, it just feels comfortable right away here,'' said Versteeg of being in South Florida and on the Panthers.
There is no need to worry about him. He will produce. Over his first three full seasons, Versteeg has averaged 21 goals with 27 assists, and even played a major role during the Chicago Blackhawks championship run.
Being that he is 25, it's surprising how deep Versteeg's resume is. He has already won a Stanley Cup, produced during the regular season and post-season, and was named as a Calder Trophy finalist as the league's top rookie.
His experiences during the regular season and post-season will go a long way in this revamped Panther locker room. The sky is the limit for this young Panther forward, which is why he is a player to watch out for this upcoming 2011 season.
4 - Will suit up for fourth team in last 24 months. After playing for Chicago in 2009-10, Versteeg was traded to Toronto to begin last season. There he split time between Toronto and Philadelphia.
11 - Registered 11 multi-point games last season during his time split between Toronto and Philadelphia.
53 - Recorded career high 53 points during his first full season with Chicago during the 2007-08 campaign.
250 - Has played in 250 games in four seasons in the league, averaging 79 games played over his three full seasons.

PALO ALTO -- Every day, 8-year-old Doris Diaz puts on a coat of pink lipstick. As the day wears on, pink deepens to crimson as she coats and recoats, dabbing her lips with ever-deeper shades of red. Doris has started every morning this way since she was 3 years old -- for her, lipstick is about much more than keeping up appearances.
When she was 6 months old, Doris was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. For most of her life, she's been in and out of the hospital; as time passed, the occasional overnighter became consistent, weeklong stays. This time, Diaz has been in the hospital since June, sleeping with her Hello Kitty cosmetic kit by her side. To keep her spirits up, she has a zoo of stuffed animals on her bed and her room is draped in pink, but lipstick comforts her most.
"I brush my teeth, brush my hair, then put my lipstick on," she said. "It makes me feel pretty."
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic respiratory disorder that causes difficulty breathing, coughing as well as frequent lung infections. Four times a day, for up to an hour, Doris is strapped to "the vest," a rattling treatment that physically shakes her rib cage, clearing her lungs of excess mucus.
Dr. Carlos Milla, director of the cystic fibrosis program at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, considers Diaz's case one of the most serious he's ever seen. "It's uncommon to see someone her age be this sick," he said.
According to Milla, without a lung transplant, Doris' life expectancy could be as short as a year. Doris is now waiting for a donor.
Doris has lived with cystic fibrosis for as long as she can remember. As her condition worsens, she finds herself more and more restricted: no more trips to Los Angeles to visit cousins, no more sand castles at the beach. Mom and dad are forced to make constant trips between Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Newark, where the family of five lives.
"A regular day would be to go home after work, spend the day with my family," said David Diaz, Doris' father. "With Doris, that has all changed."
Doris doesn't like school much, in part because it becomes too apparent how cystic fibrosis limits her. "I don't get to do things that other kids can do, like run, or play tag, or do all of those things," she said. "I'm not like them."
A self-described "drama queen," Doris is the quintessential preteen girl. Dressed in pink from head to toe, she occasionally punctuates her whiplike sarcasm with a well-practiced eye roll. Once, she ribbed a hospital associate for failing to wear lipstick.
"When Doris saw [her], she said 'what's going on with you? Why aren't you wearing lipstick?'" said Corina Romero, Doris' mother. "She can't live without her lipstick."
Romero has made her own little home next to Doris' bed. At night, Doris gets lonely and insists on someone staying the night with her. On a regular weekday, Romero will commute across the bay four times to be with Doris, pick up her two other kids and hand them off to her husband before staying the night.
"If I don't find somebody to stay with her, she calls me constantly because she doesn't like to be here by herself," Romero said. "During the week, when everyone is at work, it's very difficult."
As children grow, cystic fibrosis makes it harder and harder for them to breathe. When she was much younger, Doris would be admitted to the hospital once, maybe twice a year; now, she's a regular patient. With increasing frequency, regular days are being interrupted by the vest's rattling treatment. School is broken up by ever-lengthening hospital stays.
The Diaz family stays strong by leaning on family and faith. Relatives from both sides visit Doris, and sometimes an uncle will stay the night to give Doris' parents some rare alone time.
"It's been difficult," Romero said. "We find a way. My husband helps, my family helps, God helps. Somehow we make it work."
More and more, a "normal" day for Doris begins in her hospital bed and not at home or at school. On the days she can go to school, she carries an oxygen tank. She's made a close group of friends but still doesn't like it much. "It's so boring," she said. "You have nothing to do instead of learning."
But Doris still looks forward to her "favorite subject" -- recess. Every day, she and her friends walk to a familiar spot under the swings; sometimes, friends even help her with the oxygen tank. Together, they empty their cosmetic kits and put on lipstick.

Top 10 animated themes for the Sony Ericsson W890i
We've tracked down 10 of the best animated and Flash Lite themes for the Sony Ericsson W890i handset
The Sony Ericsson W890i is one of the best looking phones around and thanks to its Flash Lite capability it can host some excellent animated themes as well.
We've gone out to the various theme websites - and there are quite a few - to come up with our top 10 animated themes for your Sony Ericsson W890i.
We've also included some of the default animated Flash Lite themes that Sony created for the W890i - because we know some pesky operators have a nasty habit of stripping them off.
Incidentally, Sony Ericsson is one of the more enlightened mobile phone makers when it comes to themes - can you hear me Motorola and LG??! - and it comes as no surprise that several of the best animated themes come from the company's in-house designers.
Note: all these themes are free to download although some sites require registration. For information on how to install themes on the W890i read this article.
Some operators may disable certain Flash menus on your phone, for the themes to work you will have to find out how to debrand your phone. Check out a site such as Wotan server for information on how to do this - if you debrand your mobile it is your own responsibility and may void the warranty of your phone or the terms of your contract with your operator.
1. Citybeat
This was created by Sony Ericsson for the W880i but it works just as well on the W890i. Fantastic futuristic visuals and a lovely rumble response when you select a function. Nice.
Download City Beat theme
2. The Matrix
Almost 10 years after the sci-fi blockbuster was released and still those neon green falling bits and bytes maintain their power to thrill. Who cares if they used Nokias in the movie?
Download The Matrix theme
3. Purple Sky
One of the new animated themes with Flash Lite menus that Sony created specifically for the W890i. It's a cracker - and we bet Prince would love it too.
Download Purple Sky theme
4. Musaic
Another one of the original Sony Ericsson W890i themes - curses on the pesky mobile phone operators that remove them! - Musaic also features the active wallpaper feature that lets you know what track is currently playing on the Wakman media player. Handy.
Download Musaic theme
5. Light Flow
A simple blue flame on a dark background. Subtle but strangely mesmeric.
Download Light Flow theme
6. Aurora
Similar to the above but with a nice North Pole and Aurora Borealis animated standby screen.
Download Aurora theme
7. Walkman Animated
Another cracking animated Flash Lite theme cooked up by the Sony Ericsson boffins specifically for your W890i.
Download Walkman Animated
8. Spooky Skull
Not very sophisticated but we liked the idea of Death giving us the finger.
Download Spooky Skull theme
9. Orange Walkman
Another Walkman brand-focused theme - this one brings in the orange hues witha nice animated water effect on the standby screen.
Download Orange Walkman theme
10. The Eye of Sauron
This W890i theme has a Lord of the Rings flavour with The Eye of Sauron flickering and smouldering away in this animated wallpaper.
Download Eye of Sauron theme

4:40 PM: Those of you wanting great stuff from Sens TV needn't look any further. We have Gord Wilson's Game Preview and plenty of other clips from Coach MacLean and the players.
Gord Wilson's Game Preview
Coach MacLean
Daniel Alfredsson
Jared Cowen
Cory Conacher
4:20 PM: Jared Cowen shares his thoughts on what the Sens need to improve, the mood of the room and what has sustained them to this point in the year.
On what the team needs to improve:
I think it goes without saying that we need to take less penalties, uncalled for penalties when they're not even in our zone. There's penalties you can kill off where you just playing the puck, things happen, but there's unnecessary penalties where we're giving slashes or plays away from the puck. The penalty kill itself we just have to bear down and know what we're out there to do and do our job.On the danger of the Pens PP:
Everyone out there is a shooter for them, everyone is a good passer. Usually in the regular season there's only certain guys you deem as 'dangerous' but everyone out there for them is that kind of player.On the mood of the dressing room:
So far it's focused, everyone knows what needs to get done. Everyone feels good about our team and our chances and our ability to come back and play and do well compared to last game. Nobody is worried but we know there's a lot of urgency.On what has brought them this far:
It's our leadership, our depth in our organization, lots of guys have played well and filled roles we didn't think we could fill. The older guys on the team have really shown the way and a couple of younger guys as well. I don't think anything will change now, we'll just keep on doing what we've been doing the whole year.3:50 PM: Jason Spezza spoke about being reunited with Milan Michalek and Daniel Alfredsson as well as the focus of the team going into tonight.
It's a bit of mix and match and try to different combinations to see what helps us win. Being on the road, we'll get different matchups and hopefully by putting the three of us together we can find some old chemistry and have a good night.On the mood of the room:
Guys are excited for the challenge ahead of us. We know they're going to try and close us out tonight and we're going to try and give them our best game of the series. We know it's a good opportunity for us to play in a big game and we have our backs against the wall and we have to play our best hockey of the year.1:50 PM: Here is tonight's projected lineup based on morning line rushes. No confirmed lineup will be available until game time.
Michalek - Spezza - Alfredsson
Greening - Turris - Condra
Smith - Zibanejad - Silfverberg
Kassian/Conacher - Pageau - Neil
Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Gonchar
Phillips - Benoit
1:30 PM: Craig Anderson weighs in on how the Sens can bounce back from Game 4.
On the team going forward:
We all have to respond, there's no individual that takes the blame here. It's a collective effort and it's a team effort. When the team plays well everyone has success and when the team doesn't play well obviously things don't look so good.On the importance of the response:
It's not what happens to you, it's what you do after, it's how you respond. For us, we need to respond and that's a collective effort. It's a team game and the better you play as a team the better result you usually have.On starting well:
We have to focus on doing things right. It starts with the first shift, the first minute of the game and we have to play like that, like we want to, for the whole game. As you've seen in this series when we don't play well for five or six minutes in a row the puck ends up in the net a few times. It's really a focus thing. We have to focus on playing well and playing well every shift.On if the team can elevate its game:
We all have to elevate our level and that's kind of where things are. You have to continue to get better. If we continue to get better I'm sure we'll be happy with the result.On the current level of play:
We haven't played very well. You don't give up seven goals by playing well, I'll tell you that right now. I think we have to get back to what gives us success and that's hardnosed hockey, taking away space and figuring out how to win games 2-0 or 2-1. That's how we've had success all year and that's our blueprint for winning.On using the Game 3 win as a blueprint:
We need to repeat that. We need to find a way to get back to giving ourselves an opportunity to win the game and that's all you can really ask. In order to do that you have to play hard, you have to play as a team, you have to play together and you have to limit the number of mistakes you make.11:30 AM: The Sens are on the ice in Pittsburgh...
The Sens will hit the ice at 11:00 am for their morning skate at CONSOL Energy Center. I'll have plenty of updates to follow including, but not limited to, lineup changes, players thoughts on tonight's game, Sens TV updates, Instagram goodness and more.
Stay tuned!

Lindsay Lohan's mother has been banned from her daughter's treatment, after she drunk-dialed Lindsay in rehab a few weeks ago, according to TMZ.
Of course she did. How else would Dinah Lohan make a phone call?
Sources told the website on July 2, shortly before Lindsay's birthday, Dina called Cliffside rehab facility to speak with her daughter.
But -- because people who work at rehabs recognize these sort of things -- the person who answered the phone realized Dinah was inebriated and wouldn't put the call through.
Afterward, the facility decided it would be best for Lindsay if Dinah didn't talk to her for the rest of her stay.
If only someone would've figured this out back in 1997.
Dina Lohan has not commented on the TMZ story.

The Fermi Guest Investigator program solicits proposals for basic research relevant to the Fermi mission. The primary goal of this mission is to perform 20 MeV to >300 GeV gamma-ray measurements over the entire celestial sphere, with sensitivity a factor of 30 or more greater than that obtained by earlier space missions. A secondary goal includes the study of transient gamma-ray sources with energies extending from 8 keV up to 300 GeV.
This Amendment will release the final text for Appendix D.6, The Fermi Guest Investigator Program, which replaces the prior text in its entirety.These are the major changes since the prior version that was released with ROSES 2012. In this cycle, Fermi investigators can now apply for observing time through joint programs with the Arecibo Observatory or the VERITAS ground-based Cerenkov telescope facility. A new data product, intended primarily to facilitate studies of very short duration transients such as terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, will be available during Cycle-6 and beyond. This new operating mode will produce continuous TTE files in addition to the intervals currently available around a GBM trigger.
The due date for proposals remains January 18, 2013.
Technical questions concerning this program element may be directed to Chris Shrader at firstname.lastname@example.com or (301) 286-8434. Help Desk: http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/help/
Questions concerning Fermi capabilities may be directed to Julie McEnery at firstname.lastname@example.com or 301-286-1632.
