An increasing number of high-profile figures -- from Vice President Joe Biden to Beyonce and Jay-Z -- are coming forward to admit they may have been hacked.
Authorities are trying to determine whether the information posted online is authentic and, if so, who did it.
"We will vigorously pursue those who have made me a victim and made a number other people in the public eye victims," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said.
What are the real threats for cyber security? Paul Rosenzweig, visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, has more following this report on CBN Newswatch, March 13.
The website in question, which appears to originate in Russia, also posted the Social Security number and credit report of first lady Michelle Obama.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, President Obama would not say if the information posted about the first lady is authentic.
"We should not be surprised that if we've got hackers that want to dig in and have a lot of resources, that they can access people's private information. It is a big problem," the president told ABC News.
"Again, not confirming that's what happened," he continued. "You've got websites out there right now that sell peoples credit cards that have been stolen."
Law enforcement officials are trying to determine how much of the information on the website is authentic and how it might have been obtained. But that's a tall order.
"It's a very difficult endeavor," Chief Beck said. "Many of these sites are not within the boundaries of the United States."
Cybercrime and cyber warfare have become a huge problem, and the Defense Department is establishing a series of cyber teams to protect the nation from a steady stream of attacks, many of them emanating from China.

Universal Pictures has released several new images from the upcoming comedy "American Reunion." Reteaming the original cast of the wildly successful "American Pie" after nearly a ten year absence, the film follows the group of friends as they reconnect with each other and themselves at a high-school reunion they will never forget.
Take a look at the images and synopsis below.
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about and get inspired by the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.
"American Reunion" opens in AMC theatres on April 6th.

Tonight we enter the Hollywood Week episodes! This is like my Idol Christmas – I look forward to Hollywood Week every year. While you are watching throughout these episodes, which are sure to be both awful and awesome, keep an eye out for these contestants in my "Twelve Ones to Watch" list (in no particular order).
Candice Glover
Syrup and Honey by Duffy
She auditioned last year and had a famous rockin' performance with Ms. Jessica Sanchez and Deandre where they all Rocked. It. Out. Remember? Well, she's back, and she is a major contender. This time around she sang a Duffy number and sounded phenomenal. Nicki said she wanted to skin her and wear her–they should just advance her to the voting rounds right now, to save her from Nicki's prowling ways.
Pinocchio and Original Music
I admit it, I was fooled by the Idol producers. Fire twirling and combat boots does normally not precede a good audition, but that does not apply here. She is a little bit of a strange one, but is amazingly awesome. And she gets props for complaining to Seacrest about having to fill out paperwork. Her authenticity cracks me up!
God is Able by Smokey Norville
Idol is always in need of the requisite male gospel singer, and Curtis is one of my favorites this season. Most of the time these guys are so inside the song that they lose concentration or pitch or control, but Curtis seems like he can maintain control and had perfect pitch. Hopefully he will have a good group performance.
Seretha Guinn
Fresh Prince Theme Song
I mean really, who sings The Fresh Prince theme song at an audition? Better yet, who sings it and makes it sound original, fresh, and current? Seretha, apparently. I like her originality – something idol always needs. I hope she doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Cowboy Cassanova by Carrie Underwood
Nicki nicknamed her blondie, and she gave another unexpected performance that was solid. I hope she continues to make unexpected performance choices. Plus she's a tad bit cray cray, which keeps it interesting.
Gimme Shelter by the Stones
A good rock voice is always a welcome addition to the idol cast, and Gabe gets the award for craziest rocker shown on the auditions. Nicki called him curly. His voice needs to be honed a bit, but he has awesome potential.
The Prayer by Celine Dion
Big song, big voice, great dynamics and great control. She is obviously well trained. Plus she is cute and has great style. I cannot wait to hear more from this one.
Something's Got A Hold On Me by Xtina
Miss Baton Rouge who needed knee surgery hobbled her way to the audition. She sang some Xtina, and while I don't think she will win the competition, I think she would fill a nice role in the top 12. She has a solid voice and is well versed in being on stage.
If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys
She is seasoned, serious, and sassy (her look is, anyway.) She has major vocal talent and her pitch was spot on. I mean, she nailed Alicia Keys, so props for that! I hope she stands out in Hollywood Week.
Who's Loving You by MJ
This kid is so happy! How can you not smile when he walks in the room. Nicki said he was sunshine and rainbows. And he has huge potential and maybe needs a bit of guidance? I am rooting for him to get some good vocal coaching and take some risks to get him through hollywood week.
Mama Knows Best by Jessie J
Her voice has a great smooth tone and she controls it well. Plus I loved that she picked a current artist. She could do well in Hollywood if she continues to make innovative and unique choices.
Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band
Despite having a speech impediment as a result of a tonsilectomy (scary!) it doesn't affect his singing. He would be fantastic even without the sob story. I'm rooting for this one, and I hope America is, too.
Stay tuned for an episode recap coming at you tomorrow morning! And for live commentary, follow me on twitter: @idolreview18.

Cramer is bullish on HP and is disappointed that Ulta isn't doing better despite strong earnings.
The market is fearful. Use that fear to buy, Cramer says.
Companies from Toshiba to Mattel have been plagued by safety concerns and large-scale product recalls.
While the chip giant ups its forecast in response to better-than-expected PC sales, an iPhone 7 teardown indicates several Intel chips are going into some models.
Salesforce is sticking with CEO Marc Benioff, but it did name a new chief equality officer.
Buying Samsung's printer unit will help HP take on the copier market's leaders. It's not the only move HP is making to expand its addressable market.
These are my top fall-and-rise stories for the 10 days leading up to and immediately following next week's Federal Reserve meeting.
Relief floods Wall Street on Monday after a number of Federal Reserve speakers take a dovish turn following increasingly hawkish rhetoric coming out of the central bank.
HP (HPQ) hopes its $1.05 billion purchase of Samsung's (SSNLF) printer division will help give it an edge in the copier market over competitors such as Xerox (XRX).
Stocks rise Monday after Federal Reserve Gov. Lael Brainard urges 'prudence' in raising rates.
HP's purchase will include taking on about 6,000 employees, and the deal is set to close in about 12 months.
Stocks pare gains on Monday as worries over how soon the Federal Reserve might hike interest rates keeps markets wary.
HP CEO Dion Weisler told CNBC that his company's $1.05 billion acquisition of Samsung's printing business gives it a chance to innovate in a stagnant space.
The market for sub-investment-grade debt is beginning to heat up as bankers start to tap investors with new credit offerings meant to back a range of megadeals.
U.S. stocks extended their losses Monday, following Friday's sell-off.
Falling crude oil prices continued to weigh on markets Monday.
Stock futures moved sharply lower on Monday morning, extending Friday's selloff, as worries continued over how soon the Federal Reserve might hike interest rates.
U.S. stock futures are sharply lower Monday on renewed worries over an interest rate hike; HP to buy Samsung's Electronics' printing operations; Tesla plans software update for Autopilot.
The buyer seeks to upgrade its printer and copier technology.
From Altria to Western Union, these 21 companies have must-own dates over the next week.
Samsung (SSNLF) is considering a sale of its printer business to HP (HPQ), as the company has been falling behind in the global printer market.
The stock becomes attractive again at 10% to 15% below where it is now, or when revenue growth picks back up.
iPhone storage capacity hikes provided a sales boost for SanDisk, which Western broke the bank to acquire.
There's too much in natural and organic foods, not enough in flash memory.
But don't expect miracles, given the current state of the IT hardware market.
GE's purchases could drive additional 3-D printing M&A activity. But they also mean 3-D printer makers will be dealing with another deep-pocketed competitor.
Jim Cramer is fond of Micron Technology and urges investors to read the details of the HP Inc. conference call.

Brazilian artist closes Romolo's music series on Saturday
Brazil is a nation so musical that even the last names of its stars sound like song titles: Pixinguinha, Jobim, Gilberto and Nascimento.
Hendrik Meurkens, who will close the Romolo Chocolates Music Series Series on Saturday, might not have as musical a name, but he is an authentic exponent of Brazilian music, perhaps because his primary instrument is so well-suited to that national style.
"Brazilian music and harmonica are a perfect match," he said in lightly accented English from his Manhattan apartment. "Maybe it's because (harmonica) has a vocal quality. It has that immediate emotional quality, and maybe that's why people use it in film music."
Meurkens would know. Born in Hamburg 57 years ago Wednesday of a Dutch father and a German mother, Meurkens was a regular in German studios playing all sorts of music on harmonica and vibraphone, once his primary instrument.
After leaving Boston's Berklee College of Music, Meurkens moved to Rio de Janeiro at the invitation of the eminent Brazilian harmonica player and composer Maurício Einhorn. He absorbed the music and culture and married a Brazilian woman.
When his wife came to Berkeley to study, Meurkens took a recording he made in Germany to nearby Concord Records, which signed him to the label, and he began the American phase of his career.
It's an interval in which Brazilian music has been a constant muse. His latest CD, "Junity" (HMS Records), showcases compositions by Antonio Jobim and Meurkens in a Brazilian vein. His co-leader on the CD, pianist Misha Tsiganov, also writes convincingly in the Brazilian idiom, though he is from Russia.
"Russian pianists are the best-trained in the world," Meurkens asserted, "and the Russian audience is by far the best on the planet. They're so emotional and so musical."
One could easily say the same thing about Brazilians. Two of them -- Gustavo Amarante on bass and Adriano Santos on drums -- will join Tsiganov in the rhythm section.
Ultimately, Merkins said, "I like songs. I like melodies because that's where my instrument really shines."

A Berkeley County woman was arrested today in a meth lab bust in the Sangaree community.
Sharon Lynn Haynes, 43, of 1827 Eastside St. was charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. She is being held at the Berkeley County jail.
The house is off Royle Road, just a few blocks south of heavily traveled U.S. Highway 17-A east of Summerville.
Agents with the Berkeley County Drug Enforcement went to the residence after somebody complained about a chemical smell, Capt. Mike Williams said.
Haynes gave agents permission to search the property, Sheriffs Office spokesman Dan Moon said. After agents found several items consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine, they obtained a search warrant for the entire property and found several clear plastic bags containing a white powdery substance inside the house, he said.

Rafael Nadal made winning look easy at the Madrid Open, and he'll be the big favorite to win this year's French Open starting later in May—the eighth of his career.
The Spaniard easily defeated Stanislas Wawrinka in straight sets on Sunday, 6-2, 6-4, capping off an impressive tournament with his third career title at the Mutua Madrid Open.
After his victory, Nadal had a bit of fun with champagne, as shown by ABS-CBN News Channel on Twitter (via Reuters):
PHOTO: Rafael Nadal sprays champagne after winning Madrid Open final vs Stanislas Wawrinka in Madrid (via REUTERS) twitter.com/ANCALERTS/stat…— ABS-CBN News Channel (@ANCALERTS) May 12, 2013
Since returning to the court after a seven-month layoff, while recovering from a knee injury, Nadal has appeared in the final of every single tournament he's entered, per ESPN Stats & Info:
Rafael Nadal def. Pablo Andujar in Madrid Open Semis. He's now reached the final in all 7 events he's played this season.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) May 11, 2013
Nadal has won five titles and lost two finals, and there isn't a hotter player on the ATP Tour on the men's side than him right now.
Watching him play these days is like taking a look into the past. His knees are finally in good shape again, and the rest he received while recuperating has clearly been good for his body and mind.
Will Rafa win the French Open this year?
His biggest and only true test came in the quarterfinal against fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. After struggling to get into the match early, he dominated Ferrer in the final set and then didn't look back, beating Pablo Andujar and Wawrinka with ease in the semifinal and final.
There's no doubt that Nadal will be heavily favored to win this year's French Open. Even before his injury, he was difficult to defeat on clay, but now that Nadal has seemingly discovered the fountain of youth, he looks absolutely unstoppable.
He told reporters after his compelling victory on Sunday that he's playing better now than he did at Monte Carlo, according to Live Tennis:
Rafa has a message for Djokovic...he's playing better than in Monte Carlo.What do you think? live-tennis.com/category/ATP-T… twitter.com/livetennis/sta…— Live Tennis (@livetennis) May 12, 2013
He is hitting all his shots with confidence, he's getting anywhere on the court he wants to with speed and his energy is tangible.
Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and the rest of the world's best need to bring their best game to Roland Garros later this month, because Nadal looks like he could defeat anyone on clay right now, any time.

Corporate governance continues to be top of mind for organizations globally. Today we observe that companies face more and more scrutiny by governing tax authorities eager to impose penalties for various levels of corporate non-compliance. In an effort to mitigate scrutiny, we often see companies appoint external directors in order to achieve better oversight of its supervisory functions. As a result, companies may be required to pay directors fees to both resident and non-resident directors. With this comes a host of tax implications to both the employer and director. Understanding these tax implications are important as it will ensure your company and its directors are compliant with this particular area of taxation.
The webcast archive is no longer available. However, you may download the powerpoint presentation (provided above) that accompanied this webcast when it aired in June 2011. It provides an overview of the various taxation issues that arise with payment of director's fees, including:

When it comes to penis pills, everyone is skeptical about whether or not taking them will get you the results you want. It's hard to believe that just taking a pill or two a day could actually increase the size of your penis. So what better way to see if they work for you than to take advantage of some of the free trial penis pills offers.
While penis enlargement methods like natural exercises or the use of a traction devices is proven to work, there's still no definitive answer as to whether or not penis pills will actually increase the length and girth of a mans penis. Having said that, millions of penis pills have been sold and many men have written testimonials to their effectiveness. Given that's the case, it's certainly worth it to try out one of the offers for free trial penis pills that are available right now.
When it comes to free trial penis pills though, you should be aware that you probably won't see any real results with that one free bottle. The companies that sell penis pills are clear in stating that it takes a month or more before you'll start to get an increase in size. With the pills available today, you'll definitely see some other results within the first week or two like an increase in your sex drive, harder erections and more. So even with that free bottle of penis pills, there are some benefits to taking advantage of the free trial offer.
Another thing to be aware of when it comes to the free trial penis pills that are available is that you still have to pay some shipping and handling charges. When you order your free bottle, you're also signing up to have them deliver a bottle to you every month until you cancel. While it's true that you'll get that first bottle for free, you'll be paying for each additional bottle after that. In the long run you can get often get a better deal by purchasing a few months of penis pills outright. But it's hard to turn down a free bottle right from the start so if it's something you're really interested in then go ahead and get yourself some free trial penis pills and give them a try.
Check out the list below for some of the free trial penis pills that are currently available.
Vimax Free Trial Penis Pills
While the Vimax free trial penis pills offer isn't the best out there, it places second and is a better deal than buying the Vimax pills outright. Your initial order will take 3-7 days to arrive using the standard shipping and then you'll receive another bottle every 30 days like clockwork.
$1.99 - S&H for the free trial penis pills bottle.
$39.95 + S&H - For each additional bottle every 30 days.Check the site for any Vimax updated offers and information.
Poten CX Free Trial Penis Pills
With the Poten CX free trial penis pills offer, you're initial order will take about a week to arrive. Two weeks after your initial order you'll start being charged every month for additional bottles that get sent to you until you cancel.
$4.95 - Shipping and handling for the first free bottle
$69.95 - For each additional bottle delivered once a month.
Be sure and check the Poten CX site for any updated information and the latest pricing.
Roaring Tiger Free Trial Penis Pills
The free trial penis pills offer from Roaring Tiger is slightly better than any others out there. The initial order for the pills will take just 3 to 4 days to arrive. 10 days after your initial order you'll begin to be charged every 30 days for another bottle that will be sent to you until you cancel.
$1.99 - S&H for the free trial penis pills bottle.
$49.95 - For each additional bottle delivered every 30 days.
Make sure you check out the Roaring Tiger website for the latest information, pricing and special offers.

If you believe the advertisements, the holiday season is all about buying expensive electronics.
If you perused any of the Black Friday ads, half of the deals were for televisions. Now, if you bought a television, chances are you're going to need some cables and this fantastic little company called Monster would love to sell you a 35 foot cable for three hundred dollars [3]! You can "see and hear every detail, every nuance, without compromise." … or you could use your brain and pick one up at Monoprice for less than thirty bucks.
But are the two really the same? Is it possible that a $300 HDMI cable could be worth the price tag?
My friend Mark sent me this epic cable [4] – 3.3′ for $1,095.99 (free shipping!) at Best Buy. Stunning.
Clearly this is something Jamie and Adam of Mythbusters has tackled… right? Kinda. [5]
Tested is the online home of Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, of Mytbusters fame, and covers anything that's awesome. In the above linked article, Jamie and Adam didn't do the testing but instead it was Zsolt Malona, the owner of an A/V installation company. Using some crazy boring equipment, Malona looked at the Gamut CIE and RGB Balance of the image sent through four HDMI cables of the came category but of different prices.
Result? The tests showed that there was some variation between the four cables but they were minor and "within acceptable limits." Proof positive that you can get the $30 cable from Monoprice and spend the other $270 on something actually worth $270.
What was important? Getting the right category of cabling and staying within the limits of the specifications. Also, it might make sense to buy heavier duty cable if you're installing it in a while so that it'll last longer but even then it's about longevity and not quality.
Lastly, and I believe everyone knows this… gold plated connectors are bullshit.

Family Picks: Three Video Games to Burn Energy Indoors When It's Cold OutJoslyn Gray
Here's the thing about my kids: much like Labrador retrievers, they need at least an hour of exercise a day in order to behave well and sleep through the night. The other thing about my kids is that they all have asthma that's triggered by cold weather. So if I don't find constructive ways for them to burn off their energy indoors, they will literally be bouncing off the walls.
Yes, literally. There was that time where they piled up the couch cushions against the wall in some kind of insane indoor attempt at parkour.
Before the advent of interactive video games, I used to challenge them to see who could jump up and down the most times, just to tucker them out. Now we use Xbox 360 games like Dance Central, Kinect Sports, and Kinect Adventures! to keep the whole family moving year-round.
My overall review of these three games is that my kids love playing them, and I love that they're eager to play a constructive, active game instead of tearing our house apart.
Kinect Adventures!
This is my personal current fave. It's simple and intuitive enough that even my six-year-old son, who has some motor planning issues, was able to play it right off the bat. The kids say it's kind of like the television show Wipe Out except, you know, you're only virtually getting whacked in the head with stuff.
"I like the River Rush game," said my son about one of the five games on Kinect Adventures! "I get to jump! I just like the whole game."
His older sister prefers the 20,o00 Leaks Under the Sea game. "It's challenging but still fun," said Cookie, 11.
Kinect Sports
By far my husband's favorite video game right now, Kinect Sports comes with bowling, table tennis, soccer, beach volleyball, boxing, and track & field. It's a great, convenient stress-reliever that's available whenever happens to have time to work out.
The funniest thing about this game is that my husband and our son play the soccer game every day for what they call their "guy time." This sounds adorable until you realize how much "guy time" involves hearing my son yell, "IN YOUR FACE, DADDY!" Ideally, "guy time" is scheduled for when I'm out.
In related news, it's possible my husband and I are getting a little too competitive about both bowling and table tennis.
Dance Central
Holy giant song selection list, Batman. Our version of the game is Dance Central 2, and it's got a great mix of music that my kids love (Lady Gaga, Willow Smith) and old-school stuff from the '80s and '90s that cracks me up (Sir Mix-a-Lot, Bananarama). I'm not sure if my kids were horrified or impressed by the fact that I knew all the words to "Baby Got Back," but whatevs: I was amused. As a bonus, it has that song "Like a G6," which my kids insist on singing as "Like a Cheese Stick."
Besides playing this game as a family, it's also a popular activity when the kids have friends come over. The game even has a setting where you can break down the dance moves to learn them more easily.
The other thing we use it for is as part of our morning routine. When everyone is dressed and completely ready, we can play one song before leaving for school. It's such a fun way to start the day on a positive note, and it's the first thing I've ever found that motivates my kids to get ready in the morning a little faster.
Warning: This game is super-addictive.

July 1, 2013
The Hawaii state Board of Land and Natural Resources has passed a new law limiting the take of certain reef fish on the Big Island of Hawaii, specifically West Hawaii, for the aquarium trade to 40 species, and has imposed bag limits on three of those species. The law came after six hours of testimony from those on both sides of the issue and the final vote was in favor 4-2.
Scuba spear fishing has also been banned in west Hawaiian waters as well as a result of the new laws. The 40 species limit creates less work for the agencies who oversee the taking of fish in Hawaiian waters, according to the department.

text: Cheteshwar Pujara is trying hard. That is evident from the way he stands at the crease, watches every ball, stretches well forward to smother the turn and hops back in the crease to defend or force the short stuff, and runs hard at every opportunity he gets to run a single and convert it into a double. He is also attempting to make up time. The time lost from when he played his third Test, in January 2011 at Centurion, until his fourth, in August 2012 in Hyderabad. The time lost due to knee injury sustained in the IPL which ruled him out of competitive cricket for much of 2011. The time lost from tasting Test cricket against Australia, when he clattered seven fours in an 89-ball 72 to hasten a seven-wicket win in Bangalore. In Ahmedabad, Pujara entered at No. 3 at the last ball of the 30th over and left 389 deliveries later, with 206 unbeaten runs to his name, which inflated his Test average to 66.12 from 40.37 before this match. That statistic is staggering, his dedication and talent not so much. He may make batting look simple, but this is a 24-year-old who has had to work hard to get here. He knows what it means to grind. Pujara returned to Test cricket after the retirement of Rahul Dravid, and made an immediate impact with 159 against New Zealand, his maiden century. Scores of 9 and 48 followed. Now, against England, he has a double-century to his credit. In scoring those 206 unbeaten runs, Pujara showed that only a player of immense inner calm can play an innings of such serenity and composure. He was, simply, magnificent. He was composed, almost flawless and, like the man who shoes he has stepped into in the Test line-up, wonderfully graceful. Beneath that lanky frame and dopey walk, behind the squinting eyes and shy smile, there is a cricketer and a half. India must be relieved to come across a batsman to confident and composed at the middle, and particularly so at No. 3. In his previous Test, Pujara fell for 9 after playing a loose hook shot and then 48 when playing away from the body. Here, he took out the risks and defended very compactly. He wanted to score big. He has a reputation of being a scorer of big innings in domestic cricket and that appetite for big runs was fully in evidence. He played himself in on Thursday, battled to 98 not out at stumps. On Friday, Pujara was the leader in his stand with Yuvraj Singh, on Test return and having struggled on the first evening against Graeme Swann. If he had any nerves on resuming overnight on 98, he didnât show them. An easy single took him to 99, and the landmark came soon after with another single. A restrained celebration followed, that charming smile flashed. I belong here, said Pujara. It was content_cnment more than anything else. Yes, the Ahmedabad surface was placid, and the bowlers, apart from Swann, lacking discipline. But only a harsh critic would begrudge this innings, made as it was of great sobriety and subtlety. Pujara kept the England bowlers at bay for over eight and a half hours, staved off whatever came his way, unfurled flick after pretty flick, kept looking for runs square on the off side. He played spin and pace comfortably, with his handling of Swann being the most noticeable aspect of his games. There was no uncertainty as to whether he should leave or play. He was always alert to the chance of a single, those supple wrists forcing the ball away off the stumps. Even when bogged down by numerous strokes going straight to fielders or cut off by eager hands, Pujara was never flustered. Neither did he shut shop. He kept rolling his wrists, kept playing to his strengths. When it was pitched up he leaned his tall frame forward and offered a defensive stroke or a push for single or two. He didnât change his game needlessly, didnât look to manufacture strokes not common to him. It was an admirable policy. Since returning from injury, Pujara has showed himself to be an unflustered and determined No. 3, which are useful qualities when filling a space owned by the second highest run-getter in Test history. Like Dravid, he is not an easy rider. He has shaken off any early impression of being a flat-track bully. He knows how to respond to pressure. He knows what it means to value your wicket, what it takes to succeed in Test cricket. He will be tested in England, Australia and South Africa, but for now there is no doubt that Pujara belongs in Test cricket. His technique and character prove that. You can be assured that he will keep trying hard, keep trying to improve. It worked for Dravid, and it promises to work for Pujara.

This two-day international and transdisciplinary conference aims to re-evaluate the intersections between the visual arts and industry in Britain during the long nineteenth century.
The complexity and variety of nineteenth-century industrial culture and responses to it remain under appreciated. The idea that an ʻindustrial culture' might have existed in nineteenth-century Britain seemed paradoxical in the wake of Raymond Williams' Culture and Society 1780-1950 (1958) and Martin Wiener's English Culture and the Decline of the Industrial Spirit (1981). Both suggested a seemingly non-negotiable opposition between culture and industry. They privileged the writings of John Ruskin, and later William Morris, which resisted the incursion of mechanised production into the sphere of the fine and applied arts. ʻArt versus industry?' invites papers that look beyond Ruskin and Morris to modify these characterisations. Recent studies of nineteenth-century literary culture have identified the development of a pro-industrial rhetoric in the early nineteenth century. How was this articulated in the visual arts? Debates over design reform in particular suggest the permeable boundaries between the artist, designer, artisan and operative, matched by a taxonomic conflation of art with design. Meanwhile, the prospect of widening the franchise of ʻtaste' often correlated with the embrace of new industrial technologies, as much as with the repudiation of them. ʻArt versus industry?' seeks to uncover the complexities of the nineteenth-century ʻindustrial culture'. Topics for discussion might include, but are not limited to:
• Exhibitions and the display of science and art
• Taste formation and circulation
• The role of the periodical press and print culture
• Industrial art collectors and collections
• The education of the artist and artisan
• Material processes and conditions of production; deskilling and reskilling
• The principles and practice of design
• Historiographic approaches to the debate
• Mechanics' Institutions and the ideology of self-improvement
• Centralisation and regional specificity
• The impact of trans-national communication and manufacture upon art or upon concepts of national style
• New reproductive technologies and art
Confirmed speakers include Dr. Tom Gretton (University College London), Dr. Mervyn Romans (independent), Dr. Colin Trodd (University of Manchester) and Dr. Lara Kriegel (Indiana University).
Please email a title, 300 word abstract and CV to Rebecca Wade (email@example.com) by 17 June 2011.

Ski Tips #009 - Stance Versatility
You know there's a lot of talk these days about skiing with a wide stance. If you've taken a lesson in the last few years there's a good chance that you've been told to get your feed apart so that you can get better edge grip. This is a good thing for carving, that's for sure, but skiing with a wide stance all the time maybe isn't always the best thing in all situations. What you want/need is versatility in your stance width so that you can be more adaptable and adjust as the situation dicatates.
As I've mentioned a wide stance is good for edging and skiing at high speeds. The width gives you stability and it also tends to lower you a bit and that also contributes to the stability. I tend to ski with my feed a bit wider apart when I'm in a GS race course or I'm crusing on the groomed runs, I also try to have a bit of a wider stance when I ski the steep stuff.
So, is a narrow stance ever useful? It most definitely is. A narrow stance, your feet being a bit closer together, gives you mobility and quickness. That's useful in situations like skiing in the bumps, in the trees and in the awesome Okanagan Champagne powder that we're getting right now up here at Big White. Next time you're out sliding pay attention to where feet are, get them apart when you're in need of some stability and bring them a little closer together when you need some quickness. For some assistance with this come by and see us at the Big White Ski & Board School.

One of the most frustrating things about the Thunder is the inconsistency of their halfcourt offensive execution. Sometimes, it stalls. It gets stagnant. It gets motionless. It gets isolation heavy.
But there are times when the Thunder execute at incredible levels, either because of an impressive individual effort, or because they just ran their set perfectly.
For instance, this set that caught my eye against the Pacers last Friday. They've run it quite a bit this season where two bigs come to set a double screen on the ball. Against Indiana though, whether by design, or by high intelligent improvisation, Kevin Durant backcut his man off it and got an easy dunk.
The setup is simple enough. Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka both come out to screen Russell Westbrook's man. Thabo's in his corner, Durant's on the wing. Because of the respect Westbrook gets as an attacker, both Ian Mahinmi and David West are paying really close attention to how Westbrook uses these screens.
With Ibaka and Perk coming out though, look at all the room cleared out in the paint. There's no one home.
The spacing is super key. Because if KD is too close to Westbrook, the passing lane gets choked. Perk and Ibaka do a great job of coming out high enough to clear space for the pass too. So Westbrook basically just has to execute a simply lead bounce pass.
Obviously Paul George has to respect Durant's outside shooting ability, and he's also focused on trying to deny him the ball. One small little false step as if KD's going to come for a dribble hand-ff and Durant's got George wrong-footed and he's behind him on a backcut.
It's all about the timing of the two high screens, the backcut and the pass. Time it all up and you've got almost an automatic two points, at least the first time you run it. Because after the defense has seen it, they're hip to it.
Against the Pacers, the Thunder came right back with the same exact set. George isn't going to let Durant get that backcut and is sagging off a bit more. So Westbrook uses Ibaka's screen, with Perk right behind to re-screen Westbrook's man.
Westbrook splits David West's hedge, and basically eliminates him from the play. Now Mahinmi has to make a decision. Because Westbrook's jumper is something to fear, Mahinmi has to step up to respect it. You can see he has all his attention squarely on either contesting Westbrook's jumper or cutting off his drive.
Because of all that, look at the lane Ibaka has to roll to.
Mahinmi makes his choice and he steps up as Westbrook perfectly makes him commit. Excellent play by Westbrook here.
Problem is, Ibaka doesn't roll near hard enough. He realizes he's got a clear path to dive at the rim wayyyy too late. As Mahinmi steps up, it basically clears a highway for Ibaka to sprint at the basket. If he does, Westbrook can either hit him with a lob, or a bounce pass.
Ibaka finally realizes it, but the chance is gone. Mahinmi isn't even the guy that recovers to break up the play. It's Westbrook's man, George Hill.
Thing is, Westbrook still is almost able to squeeze a bounce pass through traffic to Ibaka. Hill is still a fraction behind and if Ibaka is able to just squeeze the ball, he's got an easy dunk.
I watched this set probably 30 times, and really, it's one of the more dangerous plays OKC can run I think. Depending on how the defense chooses to defend it, it puts a whole lot of pressure on them. At some point, there's going to have to be a defender that leaves his man to help. Let's say Ibaka dives at the rim like he should've. If Paul George is alert, he's going to be forced to abandon Durant to rotate down, otherwise, it's a dunk. So Westbrook has a kick to an open Durant for an open jumper or 3.
Let's say West does a better job hedging and forces Westbrook wide. Westbrook could still attack there and try and draw Thabo's man a little to open a kickout, or Westbrook just tries to turn the corner, and maybe gets a jumper.
Point is this: When the Thunder want to, they can execute some lovely offense. This isn't an overly complicated set and really, it's one that works well because of the personnel. Defenses have to respect Westbrook so much, they know they have to glue to Durant and they worry about Thabo/Kevin Martin on the wing. So there are options and with Westbrook's improved decision-making, options make the Thunder very dangerous.

Nazareth resident Mary Wikris, a mother of five, originally joined a St. Luke's University Health Network gym because her children loved its day care.
She's since found that she loves the gym on Commerce Way in Hanover Township, Northampton County.
After the birth of her fifth child two years ago, Wikris said she wanted to lose 50 pounds. Last fall, the St. Luke's staff started her on a low-glycemic-load diet and a metabolic-conditioning workout.
She's now happy with her weight and says she has much more energy than she ever did when she spent up to an hour on cardio machines and "ate like a bird."
Wikris is the prototypical person who joins gyms run by hospitals and health networks, officials say. Such gyms are generally more costly than some commercial gyms, but members value the connection with health care professionals, which is often included in membership fees.
St. Luke's opened its first gym in 1996 and Hunterdon Healthcare System followed suit in 1998, but many other local health network gyms are newer or newly open to the public.
Lehigh Valley Health Network has two gyms that have been open to employees and patients since the late 2000s but the new gym the network is opening in Center City Allentown also will be open to the public.
"The emphasis there is trying to keep that community healthy," said Brian Downs, a spokesman for the network.
More than policy goal
A greater interest in community health is driving a lot of health networks to open public gyms, said Julie Kissinger, spokeswoman for The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania. Community health is not only a policy goal but also helps with insurance reimbursement under the federal Affordable Care Act, which rewards improved health conditions and penalizes hospital re-admissions, Kissinger said.
"You can keep people healthier, you can manage chronic conditions, you can assure in some cases that people who are coming into the hospital aren't being re-admitted," she said. "It's very much integrated into the principles of keeping your staff healthy and keeping your patients healthy and reaching out into your communities to ensure they won't have to enter the most acute part of their health care systems."
Hunterdon Healthcare System opened its Readington Township gym in 1998 and its Clinton Township facility in 2008. Hackettstown Regional Medical Center also has a gym open to the public next door to its hospital.
More than 5,000 people belong to Hunterdon Healthcare's gyms and that's at a cost of $67 a month in Readington and $77 a month in Clinton. Patients, employees, seniors and students get discounted rates.
Both gyms have pools, steam rooms and saunas and services such as nutrition counseling, physical therapy and personal training.
Staff expertise
St. Luke's also includes unlimited access to personal trainers as part of its $50 monthly membership fee. The health network's three gyms also only hire trainers with bachelor's degrees in exercise science.
That staff expertise is what separates health network gyms from commercial gyms, says John Graham, St. Luke's director of sports and human performance.
"Anyone can have equipment," he said.
While commercial gyms have 30- to 40-percent retention rates, hospital gyms retain between 60 and 90 percent of their members, Graham said.
All three of St. Luke's gyms started with a high concentration of employees but, over time, they have gained an almost equal number of community members, officials said. There are more than 1,700 members at Commerce Way -- its oldest gym – 900 at the West End Medical Center in South Whitehall Township, which opened in January, and 600 at the Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township, which opened in September 2011.
Lehigh Valley Health Network has more than 2,300 members at its two gyms, which are located in medical office buildings at its Bethlehem and Salisbury Township hospitals. Most members are employees and their families, Downs said.
The health network expects to attract a lot more public members to its upcoming Allentown gym, which is opening in July next to the under-construction PPL Center hockey arena. The network is still working on the gym's membership fees, spokeswoman Jen Adamski said.
The gym will be the health network's largest and have the newest equipment, including a turf track and a multi-sport simulator.
"We expect to draw a lot of people because of the newness and the excitement downtown, but also because it's attached to our network," Adamski said.

OpenSciLogs: The History of Popular Science – First Thoughts
Owing to my recent absence (excuse? I've been in the library...) this post is a two parter, outlining my research to date for my OpenSciLogs project looking at the history of popular science.
Part 1: A Few Lectures in London
"To the thoughtful and enquiring mind there are two subjects of frequent contemplation and of absorbing interest - the future, and the past". Those were the words of Thomas Dunman, a lecturer in physiology at London's Birkbeck Institution, during one of a series of "Popular Science Lectures" that he gave in the city, in 1881.
He backed up his point with a metaphor: "Standing, as it were, upon a narrow islet between two boundless oceans, man is ever striving to pierce the veil which hangs on either hand" ... yes, ok, the language of science communication was a bit more - shall we say? - "lofty" back then. Still, I think the guy had a point.
The transcript of these lectures - contained in a slim blue hardback, fetched for me from somewhere in the bowels of the British Library - was my introduction to late-19th century popular science, and the first step in my OpenSciLogs journalism project, in which I'll trace the evolution of that genre, from the fin de siècle to the present day.
The portion of the populace to whom Mr Dunman gave these lectures were mainly students at London's Working Men's College - or anyone who could afford sixpence for one of the printed copies (that's about £20, or $35 adjusted for today's wages - quite a paywall, don't you think?). But anyway, what brand of science was popular in Victorian London?
Dunman certainly ticked all his boxes for "absorbing interest". One of the talks, "Prehistoric Man", covers the past. Another, "The Starlit Sky", adds to that the present and future (the eternal heavens - as a science writer might, in those days, have gotten away with calling them - have never needed much selling). His finale, on "Volcanoes and Coral Reefs", is a bit more incongruous - but who cares, both those things are cool.
Now ask yourself if any of those titles would seem out of place in a popular science publication today. The night sky. Our ancient ancestors. Volcanoes. A scan through the science rack of any news stand outside will almost certainly turn out at least one similar article, and probably lots more. (News stands have science racks, right?)
One of my key goals in this project is to discover differences between the science communication of the past and present. But Dunman's few lectures, narrow introduction as they were, reminded me not to forget the similarities. Just as I hope to draw conclusions from how popular science has changed, the areas where it hasn't might reveal, or remind us of, some universal truths.
But that was a handful of lectures from one guy. Onto the meat, then. (But still mostly from guys, I'm afraid) …
Part 2: The first 30 years – 1870-1900
Honestly, I wanted it to be a bit harder than this. When I came up with the concept for the project, I'd always imagined myself trawling through back-editions of The Popular Science Monthly - the antique American magazine first published in 1872, which eventually morphed into today's Popular Science magazine. 1872. Surely I'd have to really roll up my sleeves to go back that far?
No. To PopSci's great credit, every edition is available to view for free online. (You can do it now). There are thousands of issues. Tens of thousands of articles. Well, you can't say I didn't ask for it... Still, I thought I should get a few more, just to be safe.
Even at this prenatal stage of my research, it doesn't feel right to stick to a single source. So I looked for another, comparable publication of the period. That took a bit more work (well, a quick scan of the British Library's electronic database actually, but never mind - my journalistic pretentions were satisfied). It brought me back home to London, and The Popular Science Review (which charmingly describes itself as "a quarterly miscellany of entertaining and instructive articles on scientific subjects"). The BL had a decent archive of the Review, covering the years 1861-1881. Ok, here goes: the work.
What were we reading?
Choosing a thirty year period narrowed things down, but only a bit (we're still talking thousands of articles). That's a fairly big shoal, so I'm using a wide net. So far I've looked at one issue every five years, covering the years 1872-1898 for the US magazine, and 1871-1881 for the British one (after which it appears to have gone out of print) and classifying each article by type (Physics, Biology, Psychology etc.).
Here's what I've found so far:
1. Biology was big
Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was still fresh. This was a time when one author - in The Popular Science Monthly (June 1872) - could refer to the theory of evolution by natural selection as "Mr Darwin's Speculations"! (Try reading that for a history high, by the way). It's perhaps not surprising, then, that the majority of the articles - 23% in the US publication; 29% in the British one - focused on biological matters. This is the strongest piece of evidence I have found so far: Nature was news.
The rest of the articles are almost an even spread between various other subjects (physics, seemingly one of today's go-to topics for science writers looking for an amazing angle, is still way down the list; after all, the ground-breaking discoveries of Einstein lay a generation in the future. I'm expecting seismic shifts when I get to the early 20th century). But one little curiosity caught my interest.
2. Fighting or flowers?
It's far too early to draw anything like a conclusion. But I'm having fun, so I'd like to share an observation about one particular topic in these magazines - present in one; conspicuously absent in the other - which, I think, says more about the public than just their taste in science.
It's war. Almost 10% of the articles in the British publication focused on methods of destruction - the physics of cannonball flight, or the workings of a large guns, for example. By contrast, the US magazine (the US, mind) featured exactly zero percent articles about killing, but expended their 10% percent of miscellany on … wild flowers.
I'm not sure this one needs much interpretation. In the 1870s, the British Empire was in full flow; while Americans were picking up the pieces from one of the bloodiest wars in history. Working theory number one: the history of popular science is sometimes just history. The flowers might not mean anything, but I like the symbolism too much to leave them out.
And lastly ... the writers!
One conclusion I do feel confident in drawing is about the writers themselves. They were - almost to a man - well … they were men. Of course, this will shock no one (if we haven't reached gender equality now, consider the odds if you lived 140 years ago, and shudder). Instead, it's the exceptions to the rule - the three instances in the 115 articles I've covered so far that were penned by women (count them: three) - which might say something of note.
In this period, female participation in science was still negligible. So what set this trio apart? I can't be sure without more digging, but a common theme in their articles seems to give a clue: they had all travelled.
One of their number - Adele Fielde - wrote about Chinese superstitions, having spent decades in the Orient as a missionary. Another, Emma Cummings, shared her experiences of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas - while in the same issue one Helen Zimmerman summarised the state of criminology in Italy (it was apparently, at that time, rather good); the latter's inclusion as an author, I can only assume (with no intended condescention) was by virtue of her having visited the country.
It's a working theory, which may harden or dissipate under further scrutiny, but I think there's something in it: did it take a lucky break at a foriegn trip to open a woman's literary - and scientific - horizons?
So what next?
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Next I'll cover more articles from these two publications, pre-1900, to see if the patterns I've identified from my cursory glance have any foundation. This being "open notebook" journalism, I'm presenting these working theories as they occur to me, and will gladly abandon them if the data decide.
And after that, there's apparently another 114 years of science writing to look at - so I will. Can't wait, actually.

South River High School in East Edgewater and Annapolis High School have written up contracts students and parents must sign before kids are allowed to step on the dance floor for homecoming, prom and other celebrations this school year, according to the Capital Gazette.
The detailed contracts ban twerking and other gyrating dance moves that could be considered too steamy for the underage set.
"The manner of dancing will be appropriate for a school function," reads South River High School's dance contract. It details prohibited forms of dancing such as "freaking, grinding, or any other dancing that can be construed as vulgar or provocative – including TWERKING!"
Annapolis High School has asked students and parents to sign a similar contract prior to their homecoming dance this Saturday. Offenders will be escorted off the dance floor and possibly banned from future dances, including prom.
"This, unfortunately, has become the norm. Some of this crazy dancing that makes others feel uncomfortable," Annapolis High School Principal Susan Chittim told the Capital Gazette. "Some kids feel left out because of the dancing that occurs."
She said their dance contract requires a parental signature in part because, "It opens up a conversation at home."
Annapolis and South River join other high schools across the nation that have banned twerking and other forms of dance.
"Kids express themselves differently these days," Courtney Schrieve, a representative for River Ridge High School in Washington told MyNorthwest.com about its decision to ban twerking. "All you have to do is turn on YouTube and see Miley Cyrus. And we just want them to know that at a school dance there's certain expectations about how you dance."

A lawmaker is proposing tough driving restrictions on Ohio teens, including prohibiting them from transporting even one additional teenager. Current Ohio law allows 16-year-old drivers to transport one unrelated passenger of any age. Would you support thi
Watchdog the majority of our laws are worthless. And if this one passes there will be teenagers that will violate it and worse yet parents that think it is ok for them to violate it. The point you make about 5 screaming kids is true the difference is hopefully that mother will have had enough experience driving to have some built in reflexes that can only come with driving experience. All I am saying is they need some experience before they can drive alone with only other non experienced teen drivers in the car. Drivers of all ages have lots of restrictions, you can't drive impaired, you can't drive without your glasses if you wear them, you can't drink and drive. Is this going to stop teens from crashing certainly not. But it will give them a chance to gain the valuable experience they need without the distraction of their friends,if they follow the law. No law can stop anything, but they do give us guidelines to follow.

:) concerned, I'm not disagreeing with you. We are just looking at the law under different lights. I know we have a problem with kids and their driving privileges. There are kids that think that a vehicle is a party on wheels! All I am saying is, we can't keep passing laws that are useless. Not all teen drivers are problematic and to group an age group as a whole is wrong. When you have adults, say a mom toting around her 5 screaming kids in the car is a safer driver than a teen with another teen in the car is wrong. We have to pass laws that punish those that break the law. Why don't they just pass a law that does something to make an impact. If a 16 year old driver receives a moving violation, suspend their license immediately.

Watchdog I guess we will just have to not agree on this one. We could go back and forth and give all kind of examples, but I don't think either of us would change our mind. Hey it happens, we can't agree on everything. : )

Let me give you another perfect example how a teen will lose their freedom. My neighbor has daughter that is 16 years old. She works and bought her own car. Pays for her own insurance and pays taxes at her job. She pays for her drivers license. She pays for her own tag on that car. The money the government doesn't hesitate to take from her. Every morning she drives her 14 year old brother and her 16 year old friend across the street to school. This law will now forbid her to do this. She has a cleaning driving record. Did she not just lose a freedom? Her mom leaves for work at 6 a.m. That law will hurt her. They will be punished by a law that discriminates against her. I am sorry that law stinks.

concerned I understand completely about what you are saying. I am not arguing the problem, I am arguing about the law. It is not going to solve the problem. It is nothing more than another bad attempt by legislators to pass a "pacification law". Let's jump forward. Police officer sees a vehicle traveling down the street with 5 possible teens in that vehicle. What is the officer going to do? Stop every vehicle that moves that looks like that driver just might be a teen and violating that new stupid law? Officers are not going to stop vehicles to do I.D. checks on the driver and all the passengers. That is not going to happen. I am sorry but this is a stupid law.

So if you have 2 years of experience driving without others in the car, where does the experience of driving with people in the car come from? I would argue that texting is far more distracting, and that teens would be more likely to text and drive if they were alone. By the way, my best friend died in a car accident as a teen with 3 others in the car with him, 2 of them died too, and I still feel this way. He was 19, he had experience. Things happen. TheOriginal hit the nail on the head, you also can't stop accidents with legislation. These are the kinds of things that government has no business getting into. Not to mention, just one more burden to put on police officers, taking time away from finding real criminals. That seems like a good idea.

watchdog first off no one would be losing any freedoms. Not that driving is a freedom to start with. Driving is a privilege not a freedom. When people lose their license they don't lose their driving freedoms they lose their driving privileges. Requiring a teenage driver to have a years experience before they are permitted to have the privilege of having other unrelated teenagers in the vehicle when they are driving, does not take away there privilege to drive, it just puts some restrictions on them. I put restrictions on my kids when they were learning to drive. They were not allowed to haul around a car load of kids. A 16 year old needs a good year of driving experience before they should be allowed to haul around other teenagers that are sure to distract them. I think it is just good common sense. 16 year olds regardless of their level of being responsible needs driving experience before allowing unnecessary distractions. I don't favor permits at15 1/2 either.

This stuff is getting old. When Government wants to drop the ball they always pass a law that punishes everyone because of the actions of a few. I know some teens that drive more responsible than adults and even some 70 year old drivers. We going to punish them too? Or do they get a free pass? I am sick of legislators and the way laws are made.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Whoa not so fast. NO I am not for this and this is why. This is nothing more than Government punishing law abiding responsible teens for the actions of a handful of irresponsible teen drivers. This is not the way to do this. This country can not continue to punish like this. This isn't going to fix the problem. This is about the most stupid thing I have heard to date. I'm sorry but these laws invented only take a way more and more our freedoms. This is ridiculous.

The major cause of teenager death is car accidents. Which would make sense
28% of all car accidents are the results of cell phones or est , 1.6 million/yr
200,000 by texting .
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The Fact is new young drivers are the cause of more serious fatal accidents than people that have been driving longer. That is why their insurance rates are higher. They need maturity and experience no matter how responsible they are as teenagers. And yes Ladybug there are always exceptions to every rule. There are those that are experience and are not responsible. But that does not mean a young teenager should be left to go and fill the car up with other kids. Driving is something that should be taken serious. A car can be and is a deadly weapon. And it requires the drivers full concentration. I support the law and hope that they pass it.

Kind of curious about one thing.
Whose going to determine when these people have enough experience ?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It really has nothing to do with being responsible it has to do with gaining the experience to know what to do. A distracted mind that does not have the natural reflexes which can only be gain thru experience makes the highways more hazardous. Fatality rates in accidents involving drivers with less driving experience are the highest in that group of drivers. It has little to do with lack of responsibility and a lot to do with lack of experience. New drivers need to be able to concentrate on their driving 100%. The more people that are in the car the less they are able concentrate.

You can't legislate responsibility.

Grant I don't think it is matter of trust,I think it is a matter of experience. It should not only be for new 16 year old drivers but restrictions should be put on any new driver at any age. People need to get experience at driving before they have the distractions of a car full of other people.

Why use YouTube from your Wii's browser?
You're far better off using www.wiitoob.com It has all of YouTube's content but it's optimised to look great on your Wii............ search function works well and the results and big and vivid and scroll down quickly. When playing content, it fills the screen much better than trying to zoom in YouTube..........
Well worth adding to favourites................ www.wiitoob.com
Just pause it and wait for it all to load
wait it to buffer, let the red line full the einter thing. Then play it up.
Sometimes mine goes slow, but mostly, it's fine.
This works fine - thanks everyone - and i would prefer to toast toast. lolOriginally Posted by Samster

1) your iron is in the toilet, I suspect the bottom of the range on that lab is 10 umol/L and the top is near 30, if you aren`t eating liver in some way that would be a good place to start.
2) B12, that`s mid way through the range (iirc the upper range is 800 or so) but you would want to be in the upper range for B12 anyway. look up pernicious anemia, combined with your iron level that could be a clue why your hair is falling out
3) your TSH spiked quite a bit from earlier ranges you need to get a FT3, FT4 and RT3 done, to find a decent doctor for that go to realthyroidhelp dot com forum and search the Australian forum they may be able to help you find a decent thryoid doc in your area and guide you how to get those tests done
