The 2012 planning rule for land management planning for the National Forest System was published in the Federal Register on April 9, 2012, and it became effective 30 days following the publication date on May 9, 2012.
The Forest Service released proposed planning directives for public review and comment on February, 2013. Comments received from the public on both the proposed planning directives and 2012 planning rule played a critical role in helping the agency design an approach to planning that is adaptive and effective. Over 16,000 comments representing diverse communities and interests from across the country shaped the final planning directives. In addition to the public comments, detailed recommendations from the Federal Advisory Committee (FACA Committee) chartered by the Secretary of Agriculture are reflected in the directives.
The final planning directives, effective January 30, 2015, are now available. These directives are the key set of agency guidance documents that direct implementation of the 2012 planning rule. The Agency's goal is to ensure an adaptive land management planning process that is inclusive, efficient, collaborative and science-based to promote healthy, resilient, diverse and productive National Forests and Grasslands. The final directives will support consistent approaches to achieving the broad goals of the 2012 planning rule.
The 2012 planning rule was developed through the most collaborative rulemaking effort in Agency history. The complete planning rule, including the preamble and rule text, along with other informational materials, is listed in the News section below.
Please see the Collaboration and Public Involvement webpage for information on the collaborative efforts used during development of the rule. Links are also located in the left banner of this website providing information on the history of forest planning; the basics on what's involved in forest planning and why it's important; as well as answers to frequently answered questions (FAQs) about the rulemaking process.
USDA Forest Service Releases 2012 Planning Rule Final Directives for National Forest System Land Management Planning

Q. I had a full hysterectomy at age 49. My health is excellent otherwise, with no smoking, regular exercise and alcohol in moderation.
My gynecologist put me on Estratest. I felt great on this, but my skin became extremely oily with acne, and my hair also was too oily. I chose to go off the hormones.
Since not being on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), I have terrible mood swings and depression. I have been searching the Web for information about HRT and am really confused. My gynecologist is very much in favor of hormones, but my friends keep sending me articles about blood clots, breast cancer and other frightening complications. How dangerous is HRT? Are bioidentical hormones better?
A. The male hormone in Estratest (a combination of estrogens and testosterone) was probably responsible for your oily skin and hair. Doctors continue to debate the pros and cons of HRT. A recent review from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force concluded that hormones reduce the risk for fractures but increase the chance of gallbladder disease, urinary incontinence and blood clots leading to strokes and heart attacks (Annals of Internal Medicine, July 17, 2012).
We are sending you our Guide to Menopause with options for managing hot flashes, vaginal dryness and moodiness. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (65 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. W-50, P.O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027. It also can be downloaded for $2 from our website: www.peoplespharmacy.com.
In it, we also discuss bioidentical hormones. We have seen no well-conducted trials demonstrating that they are safer than conventional therapies.
Q. I heard about eating coconut macaroons to help with irritable bowel syndrome on your radio program. Our dog was having trouble with recurrent bouts of diarrhea, and the vet could not find a reason.
I gave her coconut flakes twice a day, and it worked great. So this remedy also seems to work for dogs with sensitive digestive systems.
A. We have heard from many readers who have found that coconut helps to quell diarrhea. We first heard about this remedy from Donald Agar, who used Archway coconut macaroons to treat diarrhea from Crohn's disease. Others have found that plain shredded coconut works just as well.
Although we could find no scientific support for the use of coconut to stop diarrhea, it is used in some traditional medical systems (Journal of Ethnopharmacology online, Nov. 23, 2012).
Q. Using soap for muscle cramps was the stupidest idea I'd heard in a long while. I tried drinking tonic water for the quinine, eating lots of bananas for the extra potassium and anything else I had heard about, but nothing worked.
I was ready for stupid ideas. The pain was awful in my feet, so why not? I cut a small soap chip to put in each sock at night. So far, the results have been magical. I'm now a believer.
A. No single remedy works for everyone who has muscle cramps, but soap chips in socks or under the bedsheet seem to help a lot of people. Anesthesiologist Yon Doo Ough, M.D., placed crushed Ivory soap on a homemade skin patch over cramping muscles and found that the pain was relieved (Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, July 2008).

100'Apply Some Pressure'
With this, Maximo Park showed they can do rollicking pop songs as flexible and captivating as Paul Smith's crotch. It's the rather marvellous keyboard riff that's the key here, one which hooks you into the main thrust of the song without making too much of a big deal about 'going electro'. You can't help but think it was written with Paul Smith's drum-rise leaps in mind, such is the way it repeatedly quietens then explodes into life, which is probably the best approach to songwriting you can have. The Maximo Park song even the naysayers have to begrudgingly appreciate.
99'Do You Realize??'
"Do you realize, everyone you know some day will die ." Not an obvious idea to present in a pop song, but it worked incredibly well in this highpoint from The Flaming Lips' 'Yoshimi…'. Presented as a sweet, necessary reminder of mortality required in order for you to truly appreciate your life and the people around you, it married space-age sonics with heartfelt emotion without being cheesy. The Flaming Lips live experience is this song writ large, joy at life taken to transcendent levels, though always with the knowledge that death is close. It's also fun if you want to see a man in tweed bounce about in a big plastic ball.
98'Irish Blood, English Heart'
Morrissey's truly great 'comeback' song, a stirring little nationalistic drama which comes across as impassioned rather than bombastic. It heralded the new barrel-chested, gladiatorial Morrissey, who was soon seen brandishing a tommygun on the cover of his 'You Are the Quarry' album. The revolutionary spirit was burning strong in him at this stage, a man angrily wishing to reclaim the heart of his nation so he can stand by the flag, "not feeling shameful, racist, or partial." Controversy's never far behind Moz, but here his sentiments were expressed in the most strident rock'n'roll terms.
97'Round Round'
Probably one of Xenomania's most perfect tracks, 'Round Round' is mean, it's taut, it's sexy and it's awesome. Preceding 'Sound Of The Underground' by several months, it never falls into the slightly nudge-nudge Carry On 'knowing' territory that Girls Aloud often do – Sugababes were by far the cooler proposition. The chugging, locomotive introduction and whip-smart rhythms are totally dancefloor irresistible and the classic Destiny's Child you-ain't-all-that lyrics ("I don't need no man, got my kicks for free") perfectly nonchalant, in the days when they could still draw on Mutya's sultry drawl.
They're not normally noted for their emotionalism, Crystal Castles, so much as for their shrieking, bleeping, sulking and bottling. Compare, though, the original track on HEALTH's debut album with Ethan Kath's reworked version and it's amazing how it subtly smoothes a jagged, brutalist and tortured thing into a melancholy, gently blooping and squelching, 8-bit mooch of some beauty, bringing the soft fear in Jake Duszik's actually rather lovely voice to the fore. Also, I was rather delighted when I found out he actually was singing "nice breasts" and it wasn't just my dirty ears playing tricks on me.
95'All These Things That I've Done'
The Killers truly touch greatness on this stirring, huge-hooked, last-song-of-the-night monster. The final refrain of "I got soul but I'm not a soldier" is a meaningless phrase when you think about it, but when you're yelling it in a field along with thousands of people while your seventh pill of the night is threatening to change your sex, it can feel pretty powerful. It manages to pull off that early U2 trick of being both a misty-eyed call of romantic defiance, and a song you can bounce around to with your mates.
94'My Girls'
The fact that Animal Collective are to blogging what the electric guitar was to rock and roll music is not their fault. Yeah, loads of idiots like to write a load of nonsense about them in corners of the web that no one with any semblance of a life ever visits, but ultimately, stripped of any context, songs such as the taster for 'Merriweather Post Pavillion' exhibit a band who trade in come one, come all euphoro-rave. It would be a tragedy if they were remembered for being merely 'a blog band', rather than what they actually are, which is simply an incredible band.
Debut smashes don't come with much more swagger and bombast than The Big Pink's breakthrough did. Constructed around a skyscraper-sized beat, the track's lyrics might be cruder than the bits that were deemed too rude for Viz magazine, but it's still stupidly catchy and hummable, as proved when Nicki Minaj's underwhelming re-telling of the hook still left you singing along. They're going to have trouble topping this with album number two.
When the svengali of Cash's reinvention Rick Rubin contacted Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor to request if the country legend could cover the song on Rubin's suggestion, Reznor, replied that he was 'flattered' but concerned it'd be 'gimmicky'. Upon viewing the video, he relented the song was no longer his. The stark, desolate sorrow of the original was translated into harrowing, minimal balladry by the Man In Black. When he died later that year it instantly became a chilling serenade to his fan's mourning, worldwide.
91'Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above'
Predating the onslaught of lame leggings and skin-burning cracked glow-sticks, CSS' breakthrough hit did everything you never even knew you wanted from a hit of mid-Noughties indie-disco. The winning recipe of naïve flirtiness, shuffling spacey infectiousness and surprising and irreverent NME-culture references put the spotlight on Sao Paolo in a way pop culture hadn't seen for some time. As nu rave took hold it became one of the most incendiary sure-fire dancefloor bangers at lektro discos across the world.

I glanced at Carter getting dressed, his shirt totally a fat guy in a little coat situation of epic proportions (regarding sleeve and shirt length, not his weight of course) and by goodness my heart lurched- I had to get that kid some new clothes like my life depended on it.
He is completely content with hand-me-downs as he's used to but wow did it feel good to surprise him with a bag full of new shirts just for him. He tried on every single one before bed and gleefully balled them up in one big pile into his middle dresser drawer.
Love him.

I was in Tomahawk a few days ago. I thought it would cool to meet up with some of the Tomahawk Leader Message Board members, but I didn`t know where to find any of them. SO, while I was walking down the aisle in Nelsons I yelled out "DEB PETERSON" ! , but no reply,
so I yelled even louder , "OLD SCOUT"! , "CATFISH!"!!" JEFF BOETTCHER!".
No replies, but a few stares.
Finally I just started SCREAMING , "FUSHIA ! FUSHIA! FUSHIA!!
That`s when I really got the strange looks.

Nearly everyone wants to improve the nation's public schools, but it's hard to find broad agreement about how best to do it.
The most current example of this may be the debate over Common Core State Standards. The intention was to create clear, high expectations for the knowledge students must learn to ensure they are college or career ready.
But a growing number are questioning whether the new standards will achieve that goal.
It's a debate unfolding across the country, and a new chapter could be written in South Carolina when lawmakers return to Columbia in January. Here is a primer:
What are the Common Core State Standards?
The Common Core State Standards are a new set of standards that define what students must learn in grades K-12 in English language arts and math.
For example, one of the first-grade English language arts standards calls for students to be able to identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.
Schools still have the ability to decide the method and curriculum they would use to teach that standard.
Why are they controversial?
The standards have been criticized for both what they represent as well as what they contain.
From a philosophical standpoint, many Republicans are concerned that the standards will infringe on states' rights. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has said, "We need to move past the notion that the federal government knows best when it comes to the unique needs of our students and communities."
Others are opposed to the content of the standards for a range of reasons. Some have argued that the new standards aren't rigorous or developmentally appropriate, and that they try to instill federally determined attitudes and mindsets about political and religious beliefs.
Some have said that the new standards put too much emphasis on informational text and neglect classic literature. Still others have said they eliminate the study of cursive writing, thus failing to give students the skills needed to read, among other things, historical documents such as the U.S. Constitution.
Why is the controversy happening now?
Educators aside, most people don't understand what "standards" are, so that's likely one of the reasons some opponents didn't take notice when Common Core emerged in 2010. Since then, a growing number of conservatives have been speaking out against them.
From a political perspective, Republicans have been lashing out at the Democratic administration for its implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Common Core has been another rallying point for them. While Republicans have been louder and more vocal in their opposition, some Democrats also are fighting the national standards but for different reasons. Some, for example, don't think the new standards-aligned tests will assess student achievement better than states' pervious tests
Most teachers have been supportive of the new standards. The National Education Association, which has 3 million members, and the American Federation of Teachers, which has about 1.5 million members, have both endorsed Common Core.
What role did the federal government have in the development of Common Core?
President Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary Arne Duncan have endorsed and encouraged states to adopt the standards by using grants and waivers, but the U.S. Department of Education played no role in developing the standards. Those grants and waivers were why some states adopted Common Core, and some feel as if states were coerced into doing so.
Who came up with Common Core?
They were developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers in partnership with teachers, school administrators, parents and experts from across the country. The standards were benchmarked against those in the world's top performing countries. The goal was to ensure students are better prepared for two- or four-year college programs or for the workforce.
Which states adopted Common Core?
States independently decided whether to adopt the Common Core State Standards. A total of 46 states and the District of Columbia are putting these standards into practice — every state but Texas, Virginia, Alaska and Nebraska. Minnesota only adopted the reading standards. Although some states, including South Carolina, have proposed legislation to prevent Common Core from taking effect in their schools, no state has dropped implementation yet.
Why did South Carolina adopt Common Core?
The state Education Oversight Committee and the state Board of Education signed off on the state's adoption of the standards. Some wanted the state to use the standards because they said it would enable South Carolina to compare its students' results with other states, which has been virtually impossible. It also gave the state a better shot at securing some federal money.
Where does South Carolina's debate stand?
State Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Bonneau, has introduced a bill to block Common Core's implementation here, but that legislation has not moved so far. Grooms has said its chances seem to be improving.
State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais, a Republican, has said he doesn't support the standards, which were approved here before he took office in 2011.
This month, Zais wrote a letter criticizing the standards for forcing all S.C. students on a path toward a four-year college, "when we know that 70 percent of our high school students will not attend a four-year college. I believe we ought to be preparing our students for life, not for some elusive goal chosen by other people."
When is Common Core going to be used in South Carolina classrooms?
Barring any successful legislative effort, the standards will be fully implemented and tested during the 2014-15 school year. This school year is a bridge year, meaning school districts statewide are using the standards in classroom lessons.
How will the standards change what South Carolina students learn?
The state compared the content in the new standards with its current standards and found them very similar — a 97 percent match. While the content is similar, a major difference is Common Core's emphasis on rigor and applying knowledge learned. Supporters say the Common Core will require students to think and reason more deeply, but opponents disagree.
Will the standards change how students are tested?
Yes. The state Board of Education agreed to adopt new tests for the 2014-15 school year that are being developed by the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium, a collection of educators, researchers, policymakers and community groups from states nationwide. The new reading and math exams will replace what students know now as the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards, and the new tests could serve as replacements for exit exams and end-of-course tests, if the General Assembly approves that change.
What kind of results can the state expect to see as a result of Common Core?
It's too early to say. Students' scores in New York and Kentucky have dropped on tests aligned to the Common Core standards. Supporters say those are a more accurate assessment of the degree to which students are being prepared, but opponents say that's just another reason why there shouldn't be national standards.

Batman came to the rescue at a recent Eastern Panhandle high school basketball game.
Before officials could dislodge a basketball that had decided to nap on the brace between the rim and backboard, Batman - a teenager dressed as the Caped Crusader - leapt from the stands, raced over and jumped up on the basket to knock away the ball.
He received smiles and applause for a job well done.
Article Photos
How could he have known in advance that his services would be needed in such a way? He didn't carry his Batarang with him afterall, which could've made his mission simpler. He just arrived as a character, as has become the in thing to do for members of the student body, to cheer on his team. Soldiers and cowboys seem to be a common choice of the teenagers in these costumed settings.
It's fine. School spirit is a good thing and should not be reserved just for the parents and alums of many years before.
There's a way to carry it off, however.
However, a couple of lads - in the spirit of school spirit, apparently - crossed the border this past week. An official, in one instance, ushered one to his seat after his gyrations directly under the basket could've disrupted the game, and, moreso, were a rude affront to the players.
What might seem funny or cute at the time to the Youtube or Facebook crowd just really isn't.
For all of the teens dressed as Batman, there, unfortunately, is Ratman - a very kind name to describe this character.
In the words of that famed YouTube philosopher Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for all that."
I was handed a picture Friday night of a young fan standing on the floor in front of his schoolmates making lewd gestures during the Washington-Martinsburg sectional championship game.
I was appalled.
All of us who saw the picture of Ratman were, too.
This young person's demonstration voided public decency. It was rude and crude, had no palpable reason to be displayed anywhere. How it equated to something on the basketball court is beyond imagination.
I know I would not want anybody to see the picture, if it had been me.
The picture was sad to see. I can only imagine what the actual exhibition might've looked like. A streaker would've appeared less troubling.
Stretching it, maybe there is a time and place, though doubtful. But in a public venue?!
I can only wonder:
Would he have wanted his principal to see the picture acting in such a way at a school-related function?
Would he have wanted a prosecuting attorney inclined to chase obscenity charges to see the picture?
Would he have wanted his mother to see such a sight?
Nobody wanted to see what we saw.
Not even the Facebook and YouTube folks, who could jeopardize this young man's future by what they might do with the image. You never know where that picture or video might eventually journey, courtesy of the World Wide Web: to a principal; to a possible employer 10 years from now; to even his mother.
The dancer was stopped in his tracks by someone in an official capacity. It was not until being seen by most everyone in a full Fieldhouse.
He probably should've been escorted out of the building.
While boorish behavior has become commonplace at too many sporting events, this one absolutely defies any explanation.
You can dress up. You can be goofy. You can even boo the referees, though it's not going to change the call. You can enjoy yourself, win or lose. That's what everyone who reads over the P.A. and espouses sportmanship wants - to have a good time and be entertained by the high school athletes.
There is a fun way and a dumb way. Never ever is there a place for an appalling way.
What happened truly was sad.
Not even Batman can leap from the stands, come to the rescue and restore this young man's virtue.
But maybe mom can forgive him.

In a testament to the finer qualities of our readers, tragic news such the fatal house fire Sunday draws a tandem of responses.
The first response is one of shock mixed with sadness. Close behind comes the thought, often expressed aloud: What can we do to help?
In the wake of Sunday morning's tragedy, there are several things we can do.
First, we can provide relief to the survivor. A bank account has been opened to assist Anna Angel, whose five children and boyfriend died in the fire. First Call for Help, in conjunction with the local chapter of the American?Red Cross, is handling material donations.
Another thing we can do is pray. Pray for the family and friends of those who perished. Pray for the young woman who is left to press on in the face of horrific loss. And say a prayer of thanks for those who tried to rescue the family from the flames, and of gratitude that you have been spared a similar fate.
Then, make certain you are prepared in case such a disaster were to strike. The Red Cross offers three key pieces of advice:
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Test them every month and replace the batteries at least once a year.
Talk with all household members about a fire escape plan - then practice the plan twice a year.
Most important, if a fire does occur in your home, get out, stay out and call for help.
An appropriate response to this fatal blaze is to take steps to make it less likely to ever happen again.

Any ideas for characters?
The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
That doesn't give us a lot to go on. We womder in darkness and need direction. "You will See, in Time you shall walk the same path as I"
perhaps an idea of a story in mind. i got a few ideas for characters for a story i am personally working on and hope to get published or "something" perhaps i'll send it into manga and they could put a animation team together to make it into a US anime or something. although with mangas anime i might have to "go all out with the story" i was planning to make it kids to young adults. right now i think it's more swaying to young adults at the moment (anyone in manga interested?) as for characters, let's see... give us a few example story background or stories and we can try to figure out some characters.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...

AstraZeneca said today it will create a combined research platform with Charles River Laboratories by outsourcing to the contract research organization its regulated safety assessment and development drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) operations.
The companies signed a three-year in vivo biology partnership agreement that expires in 2015. While the value of the deal was not disclosed, AZ did say that it began transferring programs to Charles River earlier this year, a process it expects to complete by early 2013.
The agreement is expected to add about 1% in incremental sales next year to Charles River, which reported total 2011 sales of $1.14 billion, up 0.8% from $1.13 billion in 2010.
"Our organizations will work hand-in-hand to deliver toxicology, safety pharmacology and development DMPK studies in support of our efforts to deliver safe and effective new treatments to patients more efficiently," Stefan Platz, vp, global safety assessment for AZ, said in a statement.
The agreement with CharlesRiver comes less than two months after AZ named a new CEO—Pascal Soriot, CEO of Roche's pharmaceutical division—in hopes of reversing its streak of late-stage setbacks with experimental medicines that the pharma giant had counted on to make up for sales revenues it is set to lose due to the "patent cliff" expiration of several brand-name drugs.

Green Day have come an awful long way since their humble beginnings as a regular act in small clubs in the late '80s. Through a gradual increase in the band's popularity and progressive improvements in their live chops, they have evolved into a slick, well-oiled rock and roll machine. They brought their big-time, stadium-sized sensibilities to the final slot of Lollapalooza's Saturday night (August 7) and delivered an incredible set of tracks that have evolved into classics.
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is especially impressive, as he careens from one end of the stage to the other

MIFFLIN - Eighteen months after breaking ground on one of the largest transportation projects in central Pennsylvania, a large group of people gathered to mark the opening of the new state Route 35 River Bridge on Wednesday.
The project began in the summer of 2011 with construction of a new bridge to span the railroad in Mifflin and completion of a roundabout in front of the middle school in Mifflintown.
The completion of the river bridge marks the third-part of a four-part, $16 million project slated to be completed in 2014 when a new pedestrian bridge opens where the old river bridge currently stands.
Article Photos
Rep. Adam Harris, left, R-Mifflintown, gives a thumbs-up as he hitches a ride with Terry Lebkicher across the new Juniata River Bridge Wednesday. The motorcycle led the parade of cars to officially open the new bridge.
Greg Sidorick, who oversaw the day-to-day operations on the project said the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will immediately close the old bridge to vehicular traffic.
Sidorick said the new bridge will be open only to vehicles as they await parts to build the railing for the sidewalk. The old bridge will still be open for pedestrians to walk across.
PennDOT District 2 Executive Kevin Kline said construction of new pedestrian bridge will begin in the summer of 2013.
Fact Box
Roundabouts are circular intersections where traffic moves counter-clockwise, so that all turns into and out of the circle are right turns. This eliminates the risk of head-on, left-turn and right angle crashes. There are special rules for navigating roundabouts.
Approaching and entering
-When approaching a roundabout, slow down and be prepared to yiel to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
-Pull up to the yield line, look to the left and check for approaching traffic within the roundabout. Traffic already in the roundabout has the right-of-way. The most frequent cause of the crashes at roundabouts is drivers who fail to yield before they enter.
-Enter the roundabout when there is an adequate gap in traffic.
Exiting the roundabout
-Once you have entered the roundabout, proceed counter-clockwise to your exit.
-As you approach your exit, use the right turn signal.
-Watch for pedestrians in the crosswalk and be prepared to yield.
Kline thanked the community for their patience during the course of construction and planning for the project.
"This project really balanced improving the infrastructure with the needs of the community," PennDOT Deputy Secretary Scott Christie said.
State Sen. Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, said improving Pennsylvanias infrastructure has a direct effect on the economy.
"We need to have a safe highway system," Corman said.
State Rep. Adam Harris, R-Mifflintown, echoed Cormans concerns about addressing the commonwealths aging infrastructure.
Mifflin Mayor Dale Dodson was the last to speak and said sometimes change can be difficult, but it can be good as well.
Dodson said the bridge would benefit his family-friendly community.

The 5 Most Unintentionally Hilarious '80s Music Videos
#2. Elton John -- "I'm Still Standing" (1983)
No one can accuse Elton John of not transitioning nicely from the '70s to the '80s. Maybe he wasn't the handsomest guy or the best dancer, but he certainly knew how to get visuals across. And by the time the video for "I'm Still Standing" was shot on the French coast, Elton already had multiple videos under his shiny belt. He got it. He knew what the '80s were about. "I'm Still Standing" embraced the '80s in a beautiful mutual bear hug.
While everyone else on this list was flopping around trying to figure out what good videos looked like, Elton John and his director Russell Mulcahy were already winking at the decade by being as campy as possible. Here's Elton John tipping his bellhop with gold glitter.
And here's what it looks like when Elton John uses humans for dominoes.
Sometimes Elton gives a shout-out to the heterosexuals in the house, which is thoughtful.
But mostly he just stays out of the way while the professional painted naked dancers do their thing. It was a smart move.
The '80siest Moment:
At the two-minute mark, all the boy dancers pantomime having sex with the girl dancers. Unfortunately, some of the boy dancers were dressed like this:
But the girls don't mind that the boys borrowed their panties for the shoot! Girls loved that stuff back then. Like I said before, the '80s were a magical time.
#1. The Jacksons -- "Torture" (1984)
In 1984, Michael Jackson threw his brothers a bone by recording an album called Victory. Think of it as the last dying breaths of a once mighty dancing elephant. Not that the album and subsequent tour weren't successful -- they were. And the video for the Jermaine/Michael duet "Torture" featured a big budget; a high-concept fantasy story featuring a beginning, a middle, and an end; Paula Abdul's choreography; and a star-shaped guitar that lit up. This could have been the video of the year.
The video stars four Jacksons, three of whom conveniently look just like Michael, and one chubby one.
Each Jackson is then subjected to forms of "torture" that are more hilarious than they are scary. True, backing up into a wall made of eyeballs is probably not ideal.
Especially if your hand then turns into an eyeball hand.
Also torture-ish is dancing with people who are covered in Sno-Cone cups and the terrible lighting choices that leave one whole Jackson with a chasm where his face should be.
Making up for the fact that Michael couldn't be there meant casting 34,000 villains who fill no other role than sidetracking the viewer. Pipe organists are scary, right? Lady gimps? Faces that look like a Picasso painting?
What about when someone uses their eye powers to graft your skin over your eyes?
If it feels like I've lost my way explaining this nightmare of a video, I have. The lyrics are about a breakup, the video is about a group of middle-aged men who are seconds away from getting their first earring. Every '80s video convention is here: slow motion, dry ice, explosions, and costumes that were later commandeered by the Cirque du Soleil. We might laugh now, but good luck finding negative reviews at the time. "Torture" was an exercise in '80s excess, and they probably would have gotten all sorts of video awards if not for one missing link. No, it wasn't a frothing spider monster, because they totally had that.
The '80siest Moment:
At the 2:00 mark, we see a familiar face.
It's him! It's Michael Jackson! Correction: It's a wax figure of Michael Jackson.
The Jacksons were so caught up in the magic of their brother and the spectacle of big videos that when Michael couldn't show up for the shoot, they used a Madame Tussauds wax figure instead. Then they posed next to it, as if this were really Michael Jackson and they weren't tourists at a Madame Tussauds museum.
Again, because it was the 1980s and posing next to a fake Michael Jackson was a completely reasonable thing to do, no one minded that Michael's flesh and blood resorted to standing next to a life-sized doll. After all, the audience and four not-Michaels had been through so much together ... this was nothing.
Kristi spends her days and nights posing next to fake Michael Jacksons on Twitter and Tumblr.

Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis is the new mother of a baby girl, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"De Laurentiis and husband Todd Thompson welcomed their first child, a healthy baby girl, on Saturday March 29 in Los Angeles," her rep tells PEOPLE. "Jade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson weighed in at 5lbs, 13oz."
The baby is the first for the Food Network star and Today show contributor, 37, and her husband since 2003, Todd Thompson, 44, a clothing designer.
"When I found out I was pregnant I was in complete shock," De Laurentiis said last November, when the baby news was first announced. "I truly didn't believe it. I honestly thought, 'There has got to be a mistake.' "
By February, she was saying of the physical changes overtaking her – and her sudden cravings for steak – "I couldn't be more excited about being pregnant. ... I can't wait to meet her."

Interesting matchups tonight, with the big-boy billionaires from Chelsea taking on the small-time soccer stars of Scandinavia, FC København. With Chelsea taking a 2-0 lead into the match, the wise money would be on them advancing past their Danish adversaries, but you just never know with this often misfiring Chelsea team.
Will this be the night that Fernando Torres finally scores for Chelsea? We'll see! And if he does, you can read all about it here.
The must-watch match will be Real Madrid vs. Lyon. Nicely poised at 1-1, Real Madrid have the advantage with their away goal, but there is a reason that Lyon consistently do well in the Champion's League—and it's not luck.
Will Karim Benzema (formerly of Lyon) catch fire tonight against his old team and erase their name from the draw on Friday? Will Hugo Lloris win the battle of the goalkeepers? And will this be the night that Real Madrid get revenge for last season's elimination from the Champions League at the hands of...yup, you guessed it, Lyon?
Oh, and this is my first live blog, so go easy with me on the comments please.

This medication is used to help prevent problems that may occur with 2 bacterial infections in children and adults (tetanus and diphtheria). Tetanus (lockjaw) and diphtheria can cause serious, sometimes fatal problems (heart problems, nerve problems, muscle paralysis).
Vaccination is the best way to protect (provide immunity) against these life-threatening diseases. Vaccines work by getting the body to make its own protection (antibodies).
This vaccine is recommended for all people 7 years and older. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids combined (adult) injection should not be used in anyone younger than 7 years because they may not be fully protected by this vaccine. A vaccine for children younger than 7 years is available. Consult your child's doctor for more information.
Read the Vaccine Information Statement available from your health care provider before receiving the vaccine. If you have any questions, consult your health care provider.
This vaccine is given by injection into the muscle of the upper arm by a health care professional.
A series of 3 injections is given for first-time vaccination. The first injection is followed in 4 to 8 weeks with the second injection. The third dose is given 6 to 12 months after the second injection. A booster dose is recommended for children 11 to 12 years old if the last dose was at least 5 years ago.
After all 3 injections are given, booster doses should be given every 10 years. Only diphtheria and tetanus toxoids vaccine (adult) should be used.
Pain/redness/warmth/bruising/swelling at the injection site, tiredness, fever, or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell the doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that the doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you or your child is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. However, report all side effects to the doctor.
Tell the doctor right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: shoulder pain, muscle weakness/tingling.
A severe reaction at the injection site may rarely occur. Tell the doctor if you or your child develop any of the following injection site reactions: severe pain, large area of swelling/redness/bruising, persistent lump.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact the doctor or pharmacist.
Contact your doctor for medical advice about side effects. The following numbers do not provide medical advice, but in the US, you may report side effects to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) at 1-800-822-7967. In Canada, you may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before receiving this vaccine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to any other vaccines; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before receiving this vaccination, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: current fever/illness, a certain nerve disease (Guillain-Barre syndrome), bleeding disorders (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia).
Some brands of this product may contain a small amount of mercury from a preservative (thimerosal). Consult your doctor for more information.
During pregnancy, this vaccine should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is unknown whether this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: "blood thinners" (such as warfarin), chemotherapy, corticosteroids (such as prednisone, dexamethasone), drugs that weaken the immune system (such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus).
Other vaccines may be given at the same time as this vaccine, but they should be given with separate syringes and at different injection sites.
This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
As with any vaccine, this vaccine may not fully protect everyone who receives it.
Keep vaccine records for yourself and all of your children, and after your children are grown, provide the records to them and their doctors. This will prevent unnecessary re-vaccinations.
It is important that you or your child receive each vaccination as scheduled. Be sure to ask when you or your child should receive the next dose. It may help to make a note on your calendar to remind you. If you or your child miss a dose, call the doctor right away to reschedule.
Store in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

What means more, a record obtained during serious competition, or a record pre-planned and staged?
Now, I'm all for picking an obscure Guiness World Record and going after it. I once assisted a friend in setting the world hugging record.
Sports records are a different story though.
By now you've probably heard about Jack Taylor, the Division III basketball player at Grinnell College in Iowa, who scored 138 points in a game Tuesday night.
Yes, that is an all-time NCAA record and yes, it is an atrocity and an embarrassment to basketball.
Here's the thing about records, you're not supposed to plan when they're going to happen. They just happen.
You never know, you can walk into Browns Stadium Sunday and Brandon Weeden can throw for an NFL-record 560 yards against the Steelers. Now granted, that's not very likely, but the point is, you never know when you can go see a record-setting performance.
Taylor's record night was pre-determined and strategically plotted. He was supposed to set the record. Everything was set up just for Taylor to get the record.
First off, Grinnell's opponent, Faith Baptist Bible College, isn't even an NCAA school. They compete in Division II of the National Christian College Athletic Association. That's basically one step above Heidelberg scheduling Calvert.
Also interesting to note, Faith Baptist considered the game an exhibition. Which is in contrast to Grinnell who fully counted the game. Why? Because Grinnell was after records plain and simple and wanted to take full advantage of an inferior opponent.
The game video, which is available for every other Grinnell game, has been taken down from the school's website. Yet one part that has survived includes pre-game warmups, during which the announcers mention Taylor's attempt at the national record in the game.
The game itself was an abomination.
The numbers are the first indication. Taylor had 138 points, the next highest player on his team had 13. He shot 71 3-pointers and 108 shots in the game. The rest of the team, 32 shot attempts. He had no assists and three rebounds - all offensive.
How come no defense rebounds? Because he barely played defense.
According to bloggers who got to see the video before it was taken down, the kid basically didn't cross the half-court line.
I get that Grinnell has a rather unique system. Full-court press all the time, then when you get the ball, take a shot as quick as you can, preferably a 3.
However, usually you keep playing defense for a full possession.
If Faith Baptist broke Grinnell's press, Grinnell basically let them have a quick, easy layup, so they could get the ball back and Taylor could toss up another 3.
There were times where Grinnell would sub in players, specifically to foul a Faith player as quick as possible, so Grinnell could get the ball back with no time coming off the clock.
Grinnell players were passing up wide-open layups, just so they could pass it to Taylor to attempt a 3.
Those who watched the film labeled it "embarrassing." I wish I was able to watch it. Judging from what was reported, I'm sure I would agree.
As for sportsmanship? Pffff.
You got a 50, 60 point lead? Of course, keep shooting. There are records to get. Don't let a something small like class stand in your way.
If there ever was a cause for an asterisk in the record book, this is it. Actually, an asterisk isn't enough. Maybe a giant, bold, black stamp that says "FRAUD."
Records mean the most when they happen in a context of a game, not as silly publicity stunts.
Sad part is, Taylor's record is likely to stand for quite a while. At least until the next time Grinnell gets the urge to schedule West Central Iowa Clown College and wants to get someone to 150.

The Mount Pleasant Recreation Department will host a free event called "Pitch, Hit and Run," Saturday at 9 a.m. The competition is part of a Major League Baseball initiative to engage youth players.
It will take place at Field No. 1 at the Duffy Baseball Complex in Mount Pleasant. Boys and girls – playing softball – are divided into the following age divisions: 7/8, 9/10, 11/12 and 13/14. Competitors have the opportunity to advance through four stages, including the Team Championships at MLB ballparks and the National Finals at the MLB All-Star Game.
Individual winners from the pitching, hitting and running portions, along with the all-around champion in each age and gender advance to sectionals. Participants must bring a copy of their birth certificate and have parent or legal guardian sign a registration/waiver form before competing.
Direct questions to Karl Ankersen at email@example.com or 884-2528.
The Free for All tennis tournament is back.
The adult men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles tournament, which is free for players, will be held April 29-May 5 at The Club at Dunes West, according to club tennis director Jack Miller.
Player receive a t-shirt and adult beverages all week. Awards for winners and runner-up finishers in each event will also be presented. Interested participants can sign up by going to the USTA website. The tournament ID number is 700096613. The deadline is April 24.
Miller said the event was started years ago and sponsorships allowed it be a free event. But, "after a tough economy, we were having to charge a small fee to players...it was no longer the 'Free for All.'"
The tennis club later lost a memmber, Lorrie Jelenevsky, from a brain tumor. She was known as Lorrie J. "I later learned that one of her last wishes was to make the tournament free again," Miller said, "so she left some money, and with the help of our sponsors, we are able to make this event free again."
The event is now named in her honor: Lorrie J's Adult Free for All. Direct questions to Miller at email@example.com or 345-2995.

It was my 13th birthday, a day I was looking forward to celebrate being a teenager.
However, there was no party or celebration. All the family was home with my mom that day; she died that evening.
My mother was 42 years old. She left behind a young husband and four children: me at 13; my brother, 11; my sister, 3 and my baby brother, 14 months. I remember that day just like it was yesterday.
Our world had turned upside down, yet our lives went on and the love she left with us kept us together as a family.
Why am I sharing something so personal more than 50 years later?
Because there is a wonderful program in our area that my family could have benefited from but wasn't available then.
This year, the Altoona Mirror has selected Home Nursing Agency's Healing Patch: A Program for Loss and Hope for Grieving Children and Their Families as their 2012 Season of Sharing recipient.
Through this effort, I hope you will learn more about our unique program that is dear to my heart and help me share its message, especially with any family who has also lost someone special.
I have been with Home Nursing Agency for 35 years. I believe all of our programs and services are important and necessary to the well-being of people in our communities.
I am extremely proud to be a part of the agency that, along with special friends, recognized the needs of grieving children and responded without question or doubt that we could have a place for healing.
As a nonprofit, community benefit organization, The Healing Patch service is provided at no charge, and your support is greatly needed to help sustain it.
The Healing Patch is a soft place to fall when a child feels life will never be the same because of the death of a parent, grandparent, sibling or even a friend.
This peer-to-peer support program is offered at two centers (Blair and Cambria counties), in schools and through community outreach efforts.
Connections are made by kids who are going through the same thing, and trained volunteers lend a listening ear.
The program is a safe haven where children can express their feelings and know they are not alone in their grief.
The Healing Patch program is only 6 years old- still a young child- but its impact is immeasurable.
My birthday and the anniversary of my mom's death still come every year.
But after being involved with The Healing Patch, I have learned to embrace and celebrate the day with my family.
My mom left me with many wonderful memories, and I know how important it is for children to remember and have hope in their lives. Thank you for your support.
Rebecca (Ruston) Willnecker is president of the Home Nursing Agency Foundation.
