Boogie Nights
If somebody asks me whether I'd like to sit still for three hours and experience wandering camera shots, undisciplined storytelling, X-rated films minus the penetration and blaring disco music, my answer is simple: I'd rather spend my 180 minutes seeing how hard a 400-pound gorilla can tighten a vise around my penis before I pass out from the pain.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson has taken "Goodfellas" and replaced the mafia with the porno industry. You think Scorsese overdid it with that one restaurant scene in which the camera follows everybody around for what seems like forever? Anderson has an even bigger hard-on for the extended tracking shot. There's even one that drops into a pool for no apparent reason. There are so many of these damn things that fifteen minutes into the film it's unclear whether we're watching an original movie or a "Touch of Evil" tribute.
This story barely has enough material to support a ninety-minute film, but Anderson thinks he has something so important to say that it's worth three hours of your time. He's the cinematic version of that guy at a party who goes on and on and on and just won't shut up. The whole dysfunctional family thing gets old after about half an hour, as everyone seeks something they can't have. Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) wants fame and fortune. Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) wants to make quality X-rated films. Amber Waves (Julianne Moore) wants her child back. Rollergirl (Heather Graham) wants respect. Buck Swope (Don Cheadle) wants a real life.
It seems to me that these retrospective films are no more than bad excuses to sell bad soundtracks. There are some 42 songs played in this film, which translates into continuous music for about 170 minutes. If I had gone to a '70s-themed party of my own accord and the host had played that much disco without giving me a chance to breathe, I would have made every attempt to pop an eight-track tape into his skull.

Colleen Konkus has a lot to manage when it comes to her son Andrew. He suffers from severe allergies.
"Andrew's had this since he's been six months old. He started breathing treatments due to allergies, basically when he was six months old and they became more severe."
According to the CDC, 7 million children were reported as having environmental allergies in the last twelve months, 3.5 million reported a food allergy, In a young child they can have serious health consequences.
"Anaphylaxis being the worst case scenario of an allergy where the blood pressure drops and the heart rate either raises or drops," says Dr. Nancy Witham, a pediatrician with Lee Memorial Health System.
While parents may be used to monitoring their child's everyday activities, the holidays are another story. They may not be aware of the allergies hidden in the holiday cheer.
"Some of the more common allergies are going to be tree nuts and peanuts," says Dr. Witham.
And nuts are a common staple this time of year. Homemade Christmas cookies and snacks are often times hiding them. Their oils are frequently used in scented candles and crushed nutshells are also found in some synthetic logs used in fireplaces. This means parents should add allergy supplies to their list this holiday season. Your pediatrician can help you assemble an emergency action kit.
"With prescribed medication for immediate allergies such as the injectible shot of adrenaline or epinephrine," says Dr. Witham.
Good preparation doesn't take a break for the holidays.
"He has a preventative inhaler that he takes twice a day, as well as two different types of medication. So this is what we have to carry with us at all times," says Colleen.

Historical Traveler Reviews Atrium Bangkok
Loved the Amari Atrium and the Service
We had a group staying in the Amari Atrium and could not have been more pleased with the property and the service. The buffet breakfast has something for everyone, very international. Because of the upgrade to a wonderful suite, we had a party with room service that was simply elegant. This was my second trip to Thailand since January, 2005 and I would love to go back. It is a wonderful country with the most gentle and kind inhabitants. The employees at the Amari Atrium and management are all most concerned that every guest should be treated with the utmost of graciousness.
Great stay
Stayed in this hotel twice while in thailand recently,and it was fabulous! Not in the centre but not far from it either,taxis always available outside.Rooms were lovely.Staff were very friendly and helpful,and the breakfast buffet was delicious so much to choose from! The pool and outdoor tub were great to relax in after a hard days shopping.The bar was also great, overall the hotel had a great feel. We stayed when we first arrived in bangkok, and when we returned at the end of our holiday for two nights we were upgraded to the exucutive floor on the very top with no extra charge!It was the nicest place i have ever stayed and i will definately stay again when i return to thailand. Enjoy!
Excellant value
The only hotel I have stayed in where the waitress got down on her knees to serve our drinks! Only downside is that it is a bit far out of town and we often had problems getting cabs to take us there. Recommended
What a Fantastic Hotel
We stayed here a couple of years ago taking my parents and upgraded to the executive suites for a very small cost - the rooms were fantastic and the private breakfast and sundowner facilties made it all worthwhile. What a fantastic hotel, the international buffet was so good we had it twice!
Stunning place to stay
We stayed here in May 2004. The rooms were excellent and contrary to one reviewers comments were of a very high standard. I have stayed in many 4 star hotels in the UK and this knocked the pants off them. When we were there some of the rooms were being totally refurbished as you could smell the glue from the carpet fitters so it is definately being 'done up.'
The location is set back from a busy dual carriageway. On the other side is a canal with boats whizzing past. We were very happy with the hotel. We stayed there two nights and then went to Koh Samui for 10 nights. We had our last night back in Bangkok and were delighted to get a free room upgrade - although all this actually meant was the the bed was turned ready for bedtime and orchids were placed on the bed.
The staff were very helpful.
Good hotel with friendly staff
I stayed at the Amari Atrium hotel a few weeks back and overall enjoyed my stay there.
The hotel is a little dated and this goes particularly for the rooms. However, they are well maintained, immaculately clean and of a very good size.
The lobby is spacious and again very clean.
I arrived at the hotel very early in the morning (7 am) and was immediately allowed to check in. At the time they did not have a no smoking room avaialble. They asked me if I would like to use the smoking room until after lunch at which point I could change the room to an upgraded deluxe non smoking room.
I had one lunch buffet in the hotel and did not find it particularly good. The food tasted rather bland and was not very hot. However the choice of food was wuite extensive.
The hotel is located north of the very centre of Bangkok and a taxi ride can take a while, particularly during rush hour.
A good option to avoid the taxi is to walk to the nearby Subway station. This takes about 5-10 minutes along a busy main road.
The hotel also offers shuttle bus services free of charge to the Subway station and various spots in Bangkok. These have to be pre-booked as the shuttle only runs when booked.
I cannot praise the staff in this hotel enough. I have been treated with the utmost courtesy and friendliness. I am a frequent international traveller was satisfied with my stay there.
As I said I did enjoy my stay at the hotel a lot. However, the location is a bit of a downer and for my next stay I will choose a different location.
Bangkok's treasure
Having read some of the negative reviews posted on this site only a week prior to our honeymoon, we were slightly worried that this could put a downer on things. Well, we needn't worry. The hotel was well above average for a hotel of this class, and you couldn't possibly ask for more.
The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive and helpful. Upon our arrival, having been advised by our travel agent that we were honeymooners, we were treated to all the additional little luxuries to make us feel extra welcome.
The food in the main restaurant (Cascade) had excellent choices of Asian and Mediteranean cuisine, and was good value. The buffet breakfast was huge and also had good variety.
The rooms were clean, bright and spacious. The pool area on top of the Atrium, was quite tranquil considering you're in the middle of a buzzing city.
Yes, the location was slightly outside the main 'shopping' areas, but the hotel offered a complimentary shuttle service taking you to many of the major shopping/tourist areas throughout the day, that coupled with the fact that with Taxi's being so cheap, and the newly opened Underground station only 10 minutes walk away, I really don't know what people can moan about. If you want the hustle and bustle of areas like Patpong or Silom, then go and stay there, but if you want to relax and enjoy the vibrant city but not be right in the thick of things 24-7, then the Amari Atrium is really the place to stay.
In all, our experience of the Amari Atrium was extremely pleasant, friendly and really should be included as one of Bangkok's little treasures.
Still the best hotel we've stayed in in the world!
We absolutely loved this hotel and even 3 years on from our stay talk about it regularly and compare it to other hotels around the world. We were given a corner room on the sixth floor and the space and panoramic view were amazing. Fresh flowers in the room, rose petals on the bed and a bathroom bigger than many living rooms. A great, global buffet and fantastic service; all this for approximately £20/room/night. A previous reviewer mentioned that its location is a bit out of the way, but taxis are cheap and available. I am sure that you could stay in a more expensive and possibly better hotel, but for those of us who stay mainly at 3-4 star hotels, you will have to go some way to beat this hotel!
Would Meet most expectations
As 3 star Hotels go, this would meet and beat any standard that you would associate with that category. I've actually stayed in this Hotel 3 times now, first time through work and since then twice on Holidays and everytime i've enjoyed my stay. The staff our friendly and accommodating, Breakfasts would feed an army, Mingles Bar is nice to relax, in short standards are excellent and in no way can i really find a fault in this hotel except as the previous reviewer mentioned that it deserves a 4star rating. Amari hotels in general are a very good chain throughout Thailand. They have a sister hotel in Bangkok, which also is a cracking hotel but for true value for money you really can't go wrong with the Amari Atrium. If i get the chance to go back to Thailand you can be sure i'd have no hesitation in picking the Amari Atrium Again.
Rundown, shabby and shady
This dump is no longer worth either a 4 or 3 star designation. The rooms are run down and have not been renovated since opening day. Perhaps this doesn't bother the odd Patpong traveller, and indeed condoms are already provided in the rooms, but the quality of the rooms would certainly bother the more comfort-minded traveller.
Oddly, the first reviewer says the food at Mingles was great -- my meal there, however, was singularily the worst I had in Thailand, which is not saying much perhaps given that Thai food is terrific, but my Mingles meal would qualify as horrific anywhere in the world. The hotel's location is also a negative (certainly compared to Silom, Sukhomvit, Ploenchit, etc.), and you have to take a longish taxi ride to get anywhere central. To top things off, service at reception was rather rude, too.
I would stay away from this hotel -- there are a lot of significantly better hotels in Bangkok for the same or slighly higher price.

Valerie Reinhardt looks like a jouster without a horse. The horticultural education specialist at Lake Metroparks Farmpark carries 16 foot-long poles toward the growing skeleton of a teepee, tilting each one skyward. She has to get the long pole through the rope loop that lashes the tripod poles of the structure together. Even though it's a large eye, it is a hard needle to thread.
"Native American women are traditionally the builders of the teepee," she said, now draping sturdy canvas over the 15 poles that serve as the frame for the lodging. "It took them an hour to put them up. It took five of us two and a half hours, but then, we only do this once a year."
This is the fifth year of the Farmpark program, "Native Americans: Ohio's First Farmers." The staff works with local fourth grade teachers to bring Ohio history, science and social studies to life. The program focuses on how Ohio's Native American ancestors survived and how they used Ohio's resources to develop their culture.
Reinhardt takes the students on a hunter-gatherer hike through the woods. She helps them imagine what Ohio looked like 200 years ago. She has a list of nuts and berries to show them, and she tells them how they were used.
"They can't believe there is food out in the woods," she said, laughing. "I spread my arms wide and tell them, 'This is the Native American Walmart.'"
Sometimes the students get a bit squeamish when they get to hold buffalo bones, deer hide or buffalo skin.
"They have no problem handling a fur pelt, but when there is a head under it, they start to have a little trouble," she said.
Students will be treated to this experiential learning opportunity throughout October. If the snow falls, though, the teepee will have to come down so it doesn't get damaged.
Reinhardt says she thinks it is important to teach children about nature and the environment at a young age. When they can learn history, archeology, agriculture and ecology all wrapped in a teepee, they will hardly realize they are learning. They will think they are just having fun.
"I think the program helps them to appreciate their own lives," Reinhardt said while using thin sticks to "stitch" the front of the teepee closed. "They start to understand the ease with which they get what they do have."

• Two-hundred nine patients with symptoms of acute urinary tract infection and pyuria were randomized to 400 mg of administered norfloxacin twice daily for three days, or 800 mg of sulfamethoxazole and 160 mg of trimethoprim administered twice daily for ten days. Therapeutic outcome was assessed five to nine days and four to six weeks after treatment. The cure rates were 71/74 (96%) with norfloxacin and 81/81 (100%) with sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim five to nine days after treatment. Only seven patients had a recurrence at the second follow-up visit; four in the norfloxacin group and three in the sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim group. No isolates were resistant to norfloxacin, but three Escherichia coli were resistant to sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Fifteen patients in each group reported a side effect during treatment. Two patients in the norfloxacin group and four patients in the sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim group discontinued therapy due to an adverse effect. In this multicenter study, a three-day course of norfloxacin was as effective and safe as a ten-day regimen of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in the treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

Alexis Rendina knew what most people's reaction would be. But she had a dream to fulfill and other people's opinions weren't going to stand in her way.
A lifelong figure skater and field hockey player at Nottingham High since her freshman year, her figure skating career was cut short two years ago when she sustained a serious injury to her right foot.
"I fractured my ankle skating," Rendina, now a senior at Nottingham, said. "Since I was skating for so much of my life my feet formed to my figure skates. All the pressure of landing on my same right foot over and over again, it broke down my cartilage."
But she knew there was a way to get back on the ice in a competitive fashion without putting the same type of stress on her foot: to join the ice hockey team.
"Oh my gosh," she said with a laugh when asked what her friends and family said. "Everyone told me not to do it because they thought I would get hurt. I just wanted to prove people wrong and that I could do it. I wanted to prove that I could have my heart out there. It was basically combining the two sports I loved the most in field hockey and figure skating so I figured it was worth the shot."
Kevin Fuller, one of Rendina's closest friends and the captain for the Northstars' ice hockey team, said the team loved the idea of her joining the squad, and there were no concerns whatsoever about her being a female.
"We were pretty psyched," Fuller said. "We knew she was a figure skater and had talent. We thought it was cool. Whether a guy or girl you have to make people feel they're welcome on the team no matter what. That's what you have to do. They're your team."
While her background in figure skating and field hockey certainly helped make the transition to ice hockey an easier one, there was still an adjustment period.
"Definitely stick work," Rendina said of the transition process. "It's different because of the size of the stick and the rules of the stick, obviously."
At the CVC field hockey game Saturday at Pennington, she said, "I grabbed the stick, I started using the back side, too," which is a violation in field hockey. "But it's the same movements. Definitely the stamina, too. All of the running from field hockey transferred to that."
The skating background has been a major bonus as Fuller said she finished fourth in skating drills behind the team's three captains, Fuller, co-captain Peyton Truban and assistant captain George Bennett.
"It's different with the blades," Rendina said. "I can take tighter turns with my ice hockey skates than I could with my figure skates. There's an advantage there because I can be quicker on the ice. But I seem to forget that there's no toe pick so sometimes I go a little overboard. But I think it's certainly an advantage for me."
Through three games for Nottingham she's registered four shots on net, two of which were solid scoring opportunities.
"I was so determined to get a goal and thought that one of my opportunities was going to go in that at one point that I slammed my stick on the ice," Rendina said with a laugh.
"I definitely want to see her score," Fuller said. "We saw both of those opportunities coming and we were screaming our heads off. That would be awesome."
Rendina's post-high school plans currently include enrolling at Coastal Carolina University where she plans to study psychology, and then major in forensic psychology. But before she embarks on the next chapter of her life she wanted to prove that there was a spot on the ice for someone like herself.
"I want to prove everyone wrong," she said. "I want to prove that I can be a girl on an all guys team. I want to prove that I can hold my own out there just like anyone else."

Health Insurance Costs and Young Firms
Naomi Hausman
Harvard University
June 1, 2011
A common argument in the US health policy debate is that rising health insurance costs, coupled with the tying of insurance to employers, inhibits the survival and growth of entrepreneurial firms. Economic theory suggests that these costs may indeed adversely affect small businesses: the firms may be unable to pass on to employees the full cost of benefits due to downward nominal wage rigidities or labor market competition with large firms. I use the Kauffman Firm Survey of businesses beginning formal operations in 2004 to measure the effects of rising health costs on firm survival, employment growth, and propensity to offer insurance in each subsequent year. I exploit variation in insurance premia over time and across states, instrumenting for endogenous premium growth using insurance market regulation and tort reform. Estimates suggest that firms facing higher growth in health costs are more likely to offer insurance, possibly due to the higher value of insurance when potential loss rises. I find no significant effect of rising health costs on firm survival or employment growth and can rule out large negative effects.

Duo alleged to have damaged naval property, with one believed to have slept with a rating.
Naval officers drunkenly damaged property and one allegedly acted inappropriately with a rating at the Devonport base after a night out drinking.
The Herald understands the pair went out two weekends ago and returned to the base drunk. They damaged property at the training school and one slept with a rating.
The allegations were put to the Navy and a spokeswoman responded saying: "An incident occurred during Junior Officer Common Training. This incident is now under investigation by naval police. The Navy takes all allegations of [incidents] of this nature seriously."
The spokeswoman said the vast majority of the navy served New Zealand with distinction and they did not condone the "errant behaviour of individuals".
As the investigation was ongoing, the spokeswoman said they were not able to comment further. It's understood the Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Jack Steer, is aware of what happened.
Once accepted into the navy, officer cadets undertake a 22-week Junior Officer Common Training course at the HMNZS Philomel Navy Base in Devonport. It is not known how many weeks had been completed before the incident.
It comes after a string of other incidents involving navy staff. In December, a young rating allegedly stole a police car and took it for a joyride around the North Shore.
In July 2011, senior naval officer Commander John Butcher, who at the time was captain of the frigate HMNZS Te Mana, swore in front of diplomats at the New Zealand High Commissioner's residence in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
He later had to be pulled away from the throttle of a navy boat. When Te Mana returned to New Zealand, Commander Butcher was relieved of his command and later admitted charges of drunkenness, bringing the service into discredit, and inappropriate language.
He was reprimanded and ordered to pay a $2000 fine, attend alcohol counselling and write an apology to all the dinner guests.
In June 2011, Petty Officer Norman Anderson was sentenced to 21 days in the military correctional establishment at Burnham after pleading guilty to five charges. He had drunk up to 17 beers and cycled away from his ship - while he was meant to be on guard duty.
The navy has a number of alcohol awareness and behaviour programmes for its crew members and all navy recruits participate in the Kia Kaha programme which instils navy core values and aids individuals and groups to make good decisions within the community.
In an interview in the naval publication, Navy Today, earlier this year, Rear Admiral Steer said drinking on a ship "doesn't work" and that there was no place for alcohol in a military activity. "When they come into port, young men and women are going to drink, we know that, so we're going to have to have protections in place, where the culture of looking after your mates is entrenched."
Minister of Defence Jonathan Coleman did not return any of the Herald's requests for interviews but his press secretary, Kirsty Taylor-Doig, said the minister expected that any incident would be "fully investigated through the proper NZDF channels".

Copyright ©2004 by the American College of Physicians
Persons with leukemia are sometimes treated by replacing cancerous blood cells with early forms of normal blood cells taken from healthy persons. This process is called stem-cell transplantation. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of stem-cell transplantation in which the transplanted cells attack the patient's own tissues. Antibodies, which are made in a type of cell called B cells, are substances that normally help the body to fight off infection and get rid of foreign substances. When antibodies are directed against the body's own cells, they are called autoantibodies. Chronic GVHD is thought to interfere with the regulation of the transplanted B cells so that they start to make the autoantibodies that damage body tissues. One possible consequence of chronic GVHD is a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Platelets are tiny cells in the bloodstream that are important in blood clotting, and patients with thrombocytopenia are therefore at risk for bleeding. Rituximab is a drug used to treat patients with B-cell cancer (B-cell lymphoma). Because rituximab works by destroying B cells, it might reduce the risk for bleeding in chronic GVHD by reducing the production of autoantibodies that destroy platelets.
To evaluate the effectiveness of rituximab in treating the thrombocytopenia that develops after stem-cell transplantation for leukemia.
A 32-year-old woman with leukemia whose platelet counts decreased to extremely low levels after receiving a stem-cell transplant. The patient's thrombocytopenia had not responded to other therapies before she was treated with rituximab.
The authors describe in detail the patient's clinical course before and after they treated her with rituximab.
About 1 month after transplantation, the patient developed a rash, which was diagnosed as chronic GVHD. About 200 days after transplantation, her platelet counts began to go down and continued to decrease despite treatment with several other drugs used to treat this condition (prednisone, immunoglobulins, mycophenolate, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide). At day 404 after transplantation, the doctors gave the patient rituximab; she was given subsequent doses on day 411, day 418, and day 425. Her platelet count began to increase after two doses of rituximab. The patient was then followed for 11 months, during which time her platelet count was normal.
This report describes only one patient. It therefore does not prove that rituximab is an effective treatment for all patients with low platelet counts due to chronic GVHD.
Rituximab may be an effective treatment for patients who develop thrombocytopenia as a result of chronic GVHD.

Tara McConnell has taken simple stoneware and turned it into kitchen gear QVC shoppers can't seem to get enough of.
As chief designer and president of Temp-tations L.L.C. in Exton, McConnell is on the shopping channel twice a week, demonstrating tried-and-true 9-by-7-inch baking dishes and 21/2-quart cow-figure bakers.
"This is so stinking cute," she said on a recent broadcast with host Mary Beth Roe, the camera lingering on a hand-painted casserole set.
Only about 10 minutes into an hour-long show, Roe said 600 shoppers had already placed orders for cow- and chicken-theme ceramics. At $27.88 apiece, that represented sales of nearly $17,000.

Police and protesters continue to clash outside of St. Louis, Missouri, over the death of an unarmed black teenager.
Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed after a scuffle with a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on Saturday. On Monday night, police in riot gear fired tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of protesters after they threw rocks at them.
Over the weekend, angry mobs kicked in windows, looted stores and smashed police cars. Vandals also spray painted the words "the only good cop is a dead cop."
National NAACP President Cornell William Brooks implored residents to "turn your anger into action" while condemning violence in response to Brown's death.
"To sneak around under the cover of darkness, to steal, to loot, to burn down your neighborhood - this does not require courage," he said. "Courage is when you strive for justice."
"Martin Luther King did not live and die so that we may steal and lie in the middle of the night," he added. Witnesses to Saturday's shooting said Brown had his hands raised when the officer approached with his weapon drawn and fired repeatedly. But police said someone involved in the incident tried to grab the officer's gun.
Some civil rights leaders have drawn comparisons between Brown's death and that of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who was fatally shot by a Florida neighborhood watch organizer who was later acquitted of murder charges.
"Instead of celebrating his future, they are having to plan his funeral," said Benjamin Crump, a family attorney who also represented Martin's relatives after he was slain in 2012 in Florida.
"I don't want to sugarcoat it," Crump added. Brown "was executed in broad daylight." The FBI has opened an investigation into Brown's death.

I am attempting to set up my first network and have questions.
I have a new HP Pavillion DV 6000 with XP and with wireless builtin.
I have an older tower running 98 (I think SE)
I want to network them, with a wireless component for the laptop.
The research that I have done suggests that if I can find a wireless router
that will accept Ethernet input, then I can simply ethernet cable to the
wireless router and the laptop will pick up the wireless signal, thus a
hybrid network.
The problem is finding a wireless router that will accept the ethernet input
as opposed to a broad band cable or DSL line.
Any solutions that someone can supply me with.

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP — An argument between two friends over a car devolved into a brutal fight that left a man impaled on a garden rake in his garage, according to Berkeley Township police.
On Thursday morning, Daniel Sutton, 31, of Berkeley, traveled to the home of his friend, David Nieves, 48, also of Berkeley. Sutton confronted Nieves, angered that his friend had driven a vehicle that he did not have permission to borrow, police said.
The fight got heated, police said, and Sutton hit Nieves in the head with an aluminum pole. The blow caused Nieves to fall onto a metal rake and land with such force that the blades of the garden tool got lodged in his head, according to authorities.
Officers who arrived at the scene found Nieves bleeding on the floor of his garage, partially impaled on the rake. He was airlifted to Jersey Shore Medical Center.
Police said Nieves remains hospitalized in critical condition but he has been improving. Sutton is being held in the Ocean County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Ex-William Morris agent shifts to rival
Peter Levine has joined Creative Artists Agency as an agent in the firm's motion picture talent department.
Levine's move to CAA had been expected (Daily Variety, Oct. 14), but not confirmed until Thursday. Levine recently left the William Morris Agency, where he worked for the past six years, handling such talent as Brendan Fraser, Matthew Perry, Maura Tierney, Jordana Brewster, Carla Gugino and Peter Facinelli.
"We are thrilled to have Peter join CAA," said CAA partner Kevin Huvane. "He is an extremely talented agent, and he brings with him a wealth of relationships and experience. He will be a great addition to our company."
Before joining WMA, Levine worked as an agent at J. Michael Bloom & Associates in New York.

I'm confused by what's up with this stock. I have not had anything show in my Scottrade account. Are we supposed to be receiving shares of LVNTA? If so, when?
Where are the warrants?anyone?
FWIW, my LVNTA shares showed up in my Scottrade account last week.
I just read where there has been a delay in delivering shares. Probably in your account by Friday. 5 new shares of LVNTA for every 100 shs of LINTA you own. (Plus rights as mentioned)
Hi,can you post where it says there is a delay? i got it in a merril account (plus something called LVNAR - which I assume is the rights) but schwab is saying we missed the cutoff even though the trade says bought with due bills and that would make this a retroactive dividend (which I have never seen).Thanks
New shares have arrived -- at least at Vanguard. Now I need to know what is going on with the rights offering.
if someone knows,answer.
Yes .05 for each share of LINTA plus a warrent for the right to buy more of LVNTA. I think this was a good move on Liberty's part.

With the first overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, the Portland Trailblazers selected OSU center Greg Oden. Expected to be a defensive specialist at first, the thought by many analysts is that Oden will eventually win multiple championships for this franchise, but that's always the idea when you take a player first overall isn't it?
First the Buckeyes reached the NCAA National Championship in football, then again in basketball, and now have a player taken first overall in the NBA Draft. Albeit OSU lost in both of those championship games to Florida, but nevertheless, that's a hell of a year.

ARTBA Foundation seeks 'Hall of Fame' nominations
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2013 "Transportation Development Hall of Fame." The Hall honors individuals or families from the public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to U.S. transportation development or demonstrated exceptional leadership over their lifetime. Nomination forms, available at www.artbahalloffame.org, must be received by close of business Friday, April 12, 2013.
ASCE seeks comments on new professional standard
RESTON, VA. – The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is conducting a public comment period from Feb. 1 through March 18, 2013 on the new professional standard, Seismic Design of Pile-Supported Piers and Wharves. The new standard is intended to reflect the current practice of seismic design of piers and wharves, aspects of which differ considerably from conventional design of buildings or building-like structures. It will address their unique load combinations –including berthing and mooring loads that may govern the lateral load design in low seismic regions – in addition to geotechnical issues such as the potential for pile foundations to penetrate through weak soil layers. Other primary considerations include liquefaction, lateral spreading, and ground failures impacting slopes and earth structures.
PCA appoints new president/CEO
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Effective Jan. 1, 2013, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) appointed Gregory M. Scott as president and CEO. He will head the association from its Washington, D.C., office and represent PCA and its members before Congress and the White House. Scott joined PCA in January 2012 as the senior president of government affairs and was promoted to president in September.

Is Lysacek even skating? Has he been working out? Has he committed to come back to competitive skating? Does he have any GP assignments? Or is he just suddenly going to rise like a Phoenix out of the ashes and step on the ice and be great again? I have no clue what he's been doing the past 2 years. Stars on Ice? That isn't going to get him back up to a serious competitive level. That's why I made the statement. And if I were Evan - I'd walk away with my Olympic medal and smile!
And really, what does it matter what they've all done in the past. What matters is what happens when they step on that ice in front of judges this time. I'm not prescient and neither is anybody else! It's just going to be fun to watch. Johnny could very well mop up the ice and skulk off looking like a fool - but I don't think that's going to happen and I don't think he's doing this for attention. I think his intentions are real. I have no clue how he's going to do or any of the other men. Jeremy could skate another %*&%^ beautiful two programs and blow everyone out of the water at Nationals......................or not! Adam Rippon or Jason Brown or Ricky Dornbush could have the skates of their lives or someone in the lower ranks could suddenly blossom. All I'm saying is that the state of the men's team in the US right now leaves room at the top. There's no "sure thing!"

Blue Toad Muder Files: Episodes 1-6 Review
Perhaps it would be okay to check out one episode to see if you like it but it really feels like there isn't much point getting all of them.
The Big Bumper Game of Puzzles Compendium appears fairly innocuous at first. You're presented with a seemingly quaint English village that looks a bit like one of those play mats you'd have as a kid, with oddly out of place sabre-toothed tigers on a sheep farm or some other such anachronisms. But then people start getting shot and you begin to notice the serious case of inbreeding that appears to have driven the inhabitants of Little Riddle absolutely mental.
Some of the citizens share disturbingly similar looks: the station master, the butcher and the police inspector all share enough similarities that it looks like they've been spunked out by the same brother and sister set up. As do the doctor, the baker and the antique dealer. The only seemingly unique character is the hotel owner but he's just Basil Fawlty's slightly more annoying cousin – so not that unique at all really.
Perhaps it doesn't help that every single character is voiced by the same person, a certain Tom Dussek, who does do an admirable job of making the characters sound different-ish but his narrator voice really begins to grate after a few puzzles. Especially with his amazingly annoying application of alliteration.
Anyway, if you've read Wez's family friendly and fun review of the first two episodes (this is going to be of all six episodes as one inglorious package) then you'll know roughly what Blue Toad is about. The Blue Toad detective agency is staffed by an odd mix of mute characters who, upon arriving at the town of Little Riddle, are immediately charged with trying to solve a few mysteries, figure out who is going around murdering bit part characters and try not to get annoyed with the general ineptitude of everyone they meet.
By 'they' I mean you. You meet them and they've all got some problem that only you, being a super sleuth, can sort out for them. Only it doesn't really come down to any real detective work. You're not Batman-ing it up here; instead you're solving problems – maths problems, follow the curly lines to the end problems, rearranging patterns problems, a bit of sudoku here and there and other such things you'd expect to find in the 'take a break' section of an incredibly conservative newspaper or a puzzle book you'd find in a dentist's waiting room. Wordsearches also feature.
Now while a lot of these work when you're sitting there with paper to scrawl on they really don't work that well when all you have is a controller and a TV screen. It doesn't matter how big your television is, either, it's still too confusing to follow a wiggly line with your eyes. It's fine on paper when you can follow the line to the end easily enough with your finger, but the only way to do it without giving yourself a pulsing migraine would be to get your greasy fingers all over your television.

The script for "The Event" purportedly kicked around for years in development hell before director Thom Fitzgerald came on board and a production deal was finally sealed. Pic portrays a mood of inevitable mortal gloom in its view of the AIDS epidemic in NYC and seems rooted in a mid-'80s to mid-'90s ethos that feels dated.
The script for "The Event" purportedly kicked around for years in development hell before director Thom Fitzgerald came on board and a production deal was finally sealed. To put the best spin on a disappointing end result, project — which portrays a mood of inevitable mortal gloom in its view of the AIDS epidemic in NYC — was delayed beyond the era of its most urgent relevancy. This middling drama about euthanasia, worked out through a sprawl of underdeveloped characters, will almost certainly end up as cable offering. People still die from AIDS, but pic seems rooted in a mid-'80s to mid-'90s ethos that feels dated, particularly since its earnestly instructive (if wobbly) tenor recalls such then-groundbreaking, prestige-cast yet pedestrian telepics on the same theme as "An Early Frost," "And the Band Played On" and "Our Sons."
Parker Posey is Nick, an investigator for the district attorney's office who's assigned to check out a series of suspect deaths — AIDS patients who died under similar circumstances, immediately following invitation-only parties. DA thinks the patients may have opted for assisted-suicide, which illegal by N.Y. state law.
First stop for Nicola (aka Nick) is the Chelsea district HIV support clinic presided over by Brian (Brent Carver), who was late cellist Matt's (Don McKellar) best friend, caregiver and lover. Brian resents the bureaucratic intrusion, but Nick pushes forward.
Why was Matt cremated so quickly? Did family and friends help him plan out a painless demise? Did he (as well as several other recently deceased patients at the clinic) throw a big farewell bash designed to end with his own drug overdose?
Nick's interviews with Matt's stereotypically tough-loving Jewish mama (Olympia Dukakis), his argumentative younger actress sister (Sarah Polley) and defensively square-homemaker elder one (Joanna P. Adler) raise more questions than they answer. Meanwhile, the investigator's ambivalence about this case is exacerbated by suspicion that her own very-Jersey family might harbor a similar death-with-dignity secret.
Flashbacks show Matt's increasing debilitation and his move back under his mom's roof for full-time caregiving. Dramaturgical climax is the Manhattan party at which he says goodbye before retiring to a bedroom for fatal intravenous-drip overdose — which goes awry, enabling pic to yank tear ducts further.
Last half-hour piles on far too many such lump-in-throat moments, their contrivance amplified by the portrayal of Matt's purported closest-friend circle as a very p.c.-movie-ish "rainbow" of banal types Despite its grittier surface, "The Event" comes off as the East Coast equivalent to Randall Kleiser's "It's My Party," which similarly offered an artificial air-kiss-festival sendoff for a terminal AIDS patient's premeditated suicide.
Amply talented cast is not seen at its best. Polley and Posey strain for woiking-class-Joisey feel; Carver and McKellar substitute prickliness for fully-dimensional characters; Dukakis is indulged with the kind of conventional but showy role that can lead to an Emmy Award. Perfs don't benefit from pic's uncertain tone, which wavers between quasi-hardboiled "black" comedy and guilt-tripping sentimentality.
Thomas M. Harting's HD vid lensing has the past swimming in earth tones and the present in a soft-focus, bluish cast; neither is very appealing. Soundtracked retro rock/pop/disco songs and Christophe Beck's original score lack appeal as well. Other design and tech aspects are adequate. Local-color exteriors aside, pic was primarily shot in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"The Event" is particularly disappointing in the wake of hit-and-miss Canadian helmer Fitzgerald's ("The Hanging Garden," "Beefcake") as yet little-seen fall Toronto preem, the Romania-set-and-shot "Wild Dogs." Latter traversed not-dissimilar ensemble-based, provocative-social-issue territory with remarkable freshness.

The dust hasn't even settled around the Jay Bouwmeester trade and already numerous hockey sites are analyzing the deal, selecting a winner. It's always difficult to analyze a deal that involves prospects or picks as it could be years before we know exactly what the Blues gave up for their new defenseman.
With that being said, early indications are that the Blues are the clear winner in this surprising trade.
I took a brief look at Bouwmeester in the trade post yesterday, but let's build a bit on what the Blues are receiving from Calgary.
Bouwmeester, 29, has one bloated contract. Checking in at $6.6 million a season, it'd be tough for almost any NHL defenseman to live up to that salary. Simply, Bouwmeester isn't worth that much money and he likely never will be. He's still under contract in 2013-14, but this trade will have to be reevaluated if the Blues sign him to a long-term extension.
Now, moving away from the contract, Bouwmeester is still a reliable, dependable defenseman. How dependable? Bouwmeester has played in 82 games in each of the last seven seasons. That's an incredible streak in an incredibly demanding, physical sport. His ability to suit up night after night is a remarkable feat in an age where even the most hardened veteran is forced to miss time.
Offensively, Bouwmeester has trailed off since moving to Calgary. With the Florida Panthers, Bouwmeester was a major offensive contributor, notching 167 points in his last four years with the team. However, when Bouwmeester left for Calgary, his big offensive numbers didn't travel with him. He chipped in 29 points in 2009-10, 24 in 2010-11 and 29 in 2011-12. Whether his decline was due to a personal regression or a lack of offensive talent around him is up for debate, but the fact remains that his numbers have slipped. He has enjoyed a bit of a rebound in 2013, which would be an added bonus for the Blues if Bouwmeester recaptures his numbers of old.
Defensively, there isn't much to say about Bouwmeester and that's a good thing. You know what to expect and that's Bouwmeester will get his job done while eating up an enormous amount of minutes each night.
That's what the Blues will receive – a stud defenseman that now gives the Blues an incredibly skilled group where the third pairing consists of Jackman and Polak. Wow.
So, did the Blues win this trade? Let's look at what they gave Calgary.
First-round pick in 2013 that could be deferred to 2014 if the Blues fail to make the playoffs. The value of this pick all depends where the Blues finish in 2013, obviously. For Calgary, the pick they receive is the most valuable piece headed their way. Feel free to speculate on who Calgary might use it on, but the fact is Calgary's rebuilding process is fully underway and this pick will help quite a bit.
On to the prospects. Defenseman Mark Cundari and goaltender Reto Barra are prospects, but no one would place them in the category of "elite prospects." Cundari is given a "C" probability of success on a A-F scale from Hockey's Future. He has skated with the Peoria Rivermen since 2010-11 after he went undrafted and was signed by the Blues from the OHL. The analysis on Cundari is that he's small for a defenseman but he's strong in the corners and plays a physical game for his size. He has shown some offensive flair, but his decisions with the puck are often questioned.
Goaltender Reto Barra (what an awesome name) is a big man, standing 6'4". At 27, he has yet to make an appearance in North America, spending time in the Swiss League. Hockey's Future has him pegged as a "D" in probability of success, due to the fact he has yet to make a strong enough impression to even be considered in the discussion for the AHL, let alone the NHL.
Most Blues fans have probably never heard of Cundari or Barra prior to this trade and that should tell you everything you need to know. It was believed Calgary wanted elite prospects. One of the names rumored in the deal was Ty Rattie, but the Blues escaped by dishing out two guys that might not ever make an NHL roster.
It's pretty easy to see why most outlets have labeled the Blues as the clear winner in this trade. Essentially, it boils down to Bouwmeester for a first-round pick and two spare parts. Considering Calgary's believed large price tag for the defender, it's almost hard to believe that the Blues were able to secure Bouwmeester for seemingly very little.
Doug Armstrong – you might have just done it again.

Another Deal the Bloggers Killed: The Negative Price Oneway from the Carribean to Europe
Currently, the following United award (Newark to London, returning Paris to Newark) would cost 60k miles in economy.
Add in a stopover in Newark on the return, and a later one way trip to Jamaica and the price drops 2,500 miles to only 57,500 miles in economy!
Unfortunately, this deal I first wrote about last year dies in six weeks! I'm a bit sad this deal will be dying even though I've never used it, and it's pretty niche.
Learn more about negative priced one ways and how I killed them!
In mid-2012, I wrote in an article about Free Oneways on United Awards:
Negative Price Oneways
What about to the Caribbean? The Caribbean is also a separate zone from the continental US for determining miles needed. But amazingly on the United chart, it actually costs fewer miles to get from the Caribbean to Europe than from the continental US to Europe.
This is shocking considering the way to get from the Caribbean to Europe on the Star Alliance is by connecting through the US. Here's a sample free oneway from the Caribbean to the US tacked on before the main European award. "Free" is a bit of a misnomer though, since adding the oneway actually decreased the price of the award by 2,500 miles!
Take off the oneway from St. Thomas to Philly, and you pay 2,500 more miles.
Well the new award chart for bookings made February 1, 2014 or later has "corrected" the anomaly of Caribbean-to-Europe-via-USA being cheaper than USA-to-Europe,
If it's too small for you to read, the economy price from the mainland US to Europe will still be 30,000 miles per direction.
The economy price from the Caribbean to Europe will rise from 27,500 miles per direction to 35,000 miles per direction.
The title of the post is facetious. I don't know why United is making the change in price, though I doubt it's because of my post about this deal last year.
I assume that when United decided to devalue its award chart, employees looked at every single price and found the ones where they thought they "had made a mistake" last time. For instance, USA-Southeast Asia in economy is currently an incredible 32,500 miles per direction. It is rising to 40,000 miles per direction without many posts trumpeting how cheap the old price was on blogs.
If I brought the old deal to United's attention though, I am sorry to the few who would have found the deal on their own, and I hope the many I have shared it with got a chance to book it or will book it in the next six weeks before the United devaluation kicks in for awards booked February 1, 2014 or later.

I think you didn't kill it, and in fact I doubt that bloggers are usually to blame when an opportunity ends. Many end because they've run their course; or are a mistake the company knew about, or was going to know about, anyway; or else have a strategic business purpose that will keep them going despite (or even because of) publicity. This one is an anomaly that seems to make little business sense, and it's reasonable that it would always have been corrected eventually.
I'm curious how your LifeMiles controversy will play out. I'm looking very closely at buying LifeMiles, which is obviously a business goal of Avianca, but something I wasn't contemplating before. I've had a hunch they may not be in a hurry to "fix" things right away that will create new customers in general for their program. Others will disagree, I know.
They certainly are selling a lot of miles, and one has to think it's quite profitable for them (although the rates they pay partners to access partner space is completely unknown to me.
Scott, I have a booked UA award JFK-MAA/MLE-DUB (stop)-JFK that is 120k UA RT.
Could I add a negative one way to the end? Can I do it online or do I need to call?
Thanks for any help.
No, you already have one stopover in DUB. That's it for a United award.

R&T's deduction reads "music restriction violation" which was what Z&G's music violation read. Z&G's was for no discernible beat for some number of seconds. There are other music violations in the world though.
The shocks here were Chock & Bates coming in 4th ahead of R&T (especially surprising since C&B weren't good in the SD) and C&L finishing ahead of W&P in the free dance. With F&S retired, C&L suddenly have new life and more speed in their skating, which is a good thing!

Thousands of children have been invited to participate in this year's annual Easter Egg Role on the south lawn of the White House on Monday.
The White House provided more than 14,000 hard boiled and dyed eggs for the kids and another 4,000 eggs were left for the children to dye themselves.
"We'd love to see any of the presidential family or just have them do the Easter Egg Roll," Woodbridge, Va., mom Kim Bryson told the Washington Post."
"It's just a tradition to do it," she said. "It seems like good experience for the kids to learn about the president and the White House."
The event featured celebrities like singer Justin Bieber and the cast of Fox's hit show "Glee." This year's theme was "ready, set, go" and it ties in with the first lady's campaign against childhood obesity.
The Egg Roll tradition dates back to 1878 when President Rutherford B. Hayes was in office.

When a male has an erection, usally in the morining when waking, he takes his penis and folds it back, tucking it up so the boxers elastic waistband keeps it tucked up tightly against his stomach. Thus keeping the erection from being seen.
"Thank god for the tuck and fold cause my friends would of seen my tiny wang"

Can you define these popular missing words?
The tuck and fold occurs when a guy takes his cock and balls and puts them under and between his legs, giving the illusion of just pubic hair as if he were a woman.
I couldn't tell she was a he because of the perfect execution of the tuck and fold.

There is a bit of a challenge when first using the Jigoshop eCommerce plugin for WordPress in a theme for newcomers. The trick is to properly replace Jigoshop content wrappers with the ones in use in your theme.
You would want to do this for most themes, as Jigoshop out of the box is only guaranteed to work with the twenty-ten theme. If you notice your sidebar(s) are below the products that Jigoshop lists instead of beside, then that is your first indication that you need the following.
You have to first unhook the ones in use by Jigoshop which are:
… and then hook in yours. The following are example containers and how to make them; you will need to analyze yours and replace them as needed in the first function. (more on this later)
echo '

';
function mytheme_close_jigoshop_content_wrappers()
echo '

';
function mytheme_prepare_jigoshop_wrappers()
remove_action( 'jigoshop_before_main_content', 'jigoshop_output_content_wrapper', 10 );
remove_action( 'jigoshop_after_main_content', 'jigoshop_output_content_wrapper_end', 10);
add_action( 'jigoshop_before_main_content', 'mytheme_open_jigoshop_content_wrappers', 10 );
add_action( 'jigoshop_after_main_content', 'mytheme_close_jigoshop_content_wrappers', 10 );
add_action( 'wp_head', 'mytheme_prepare_jigoshop_wrappers' );
You would place all of this code somewhere into your theme's 'functions.php' file; doesn't much matter where but somewhere at the end before any closing ?> PHP tag is as good as anywhere.
So the hardest part is determining what your wrappers are and it's been suggested to look at your 'page.php' file. That assumes that your theme has one of course. Mine doesn't, so 'loop.php' might also be a good choice.
Generally, we will want the containers after the WordPress 'get_header()' function call but this is also very theme dependent. If we look at the WP 3.2 new default theme, twenty-eleven, and it's 'page.php' file we will see:

<?php the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
So … to make Jigoshop properly wrap content for the twenty-eleven theme, we need the 'primary' and 'content' div's. These are ID div's, some may just be CSS class's as my first function above uses.
My first function above to open content for twenty-eleven becomes:
echo '

';
… and since we are only opening 2 div's, then we only need to close 2 in the second function to close the wrappers. There, you would remove one of the closing div tags so that there are only 2.
Hope this helps everyone.

Join us for a campfire and toasted marshmallows!
Image: Philip Lee Harvey/Imagesource
The Eastern Moors Partnership, a venture between the RSPB and National Trust, is inviting visitors to join in with a host of fun activities from den building to atmospheric woodland walks, from Friday 9 – Saturday 10 August. The event links in with both the National Trust's 50 Things to do before you are 11 ¾ years campaign and the RSPB's Big Wild Sleepout, and is open to all the family.
Katherine Clarke, Visitor Services Manager for the Eastern Moors, said: "This is set to be a great event, with lots to do for people of all ages. It's a chance for people to get back to basics and enjoy spending time outdoors, and this is a perfect opportunity for all the family to get involved."
From 6pm – 9pm on Friday evening, the Eastern Moors team is inviting visitors to join them for an Edges to Embers evening, which starts with a wildlife wander through Curbar Woods, looking out for red deer roaming to their evening's resting place, before topping out at twilight on the spectacular gritstone edge of Curbar. Using bat detectors to find out which bats are out hunting their night's feed, participants will finish in the meadow, settling by a welcoming campfire with toasted marshmallows and popcorn. Visitors will then be encouraged to continue discovering wildlife at home, by camping out in their gardens.
The Woodland Antics event on Saturday, between 11am and 3pm, will see visitors build their own den, meet a grubby bug, build a bird box, make nettle string, mix a mud pie, whittle a whistle or simply remember how to blow a grass trumpet. Starting at 11am, people can turn up anytime until 3pm and have a go at as many woodland activities as they fancy during this hands-on event in the Peak District National Park.
As part of the National Trust's 50 Things to do before you are 11 ¾ years campaign, the event offers an opportunity to tick off many activities in the activity booklet, which will be handed out on the day for those people who don't have them.
Katherine said: "The '50 Things' campaign is a great reminder to all families that some of the best times are the simplest ones. Showing your children how to blow a grass trumpet and mixing mud pies is simplicity at its best."
"Meanwhile, the RSPB's Big Wild Sleepout is encouraging people to reconnect with the great outdoors by spending a night in nature's home and sleeping out in the garden. I think a lot of people will be amazed at the wildlife right on their doorstep."
Participants in BWSO can also have a go at raising money to help give nature a home, by gaining sponsorship for their Big Wild Sleepout activity. Sponsorship forms can be obtained from email@example.com. All funds will go back into giving nature a home on the Eastern Moors.
Edges to Embers on Friday 9 August, will start at 6pm meeting in Curbar Gap car park (grid reference SK263747) and finishing by 9pm. The cost will be £4 per adult and £3 per child, paid in advance. Booking is essential. To book a place, please contact the team via firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 07738 738844.
Woodland Antics on Saturday 10 August, will start at 11am and run until 3pm. Visitors are welcome to turn up anytime with no need to book. The cost will be £3 per child and £1.50 per adult paid on the day. There will be an extra charge if participants wish to take home a bird box. Parking is in Curbar Gap (grid reference SK263747), following the signs to the event in Curbar Woods.
For both events, please wear appropriate outdoor clothing for the weather, long trousers and sturdy footwear. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please be aware that there are no toilets on site. This event is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Nature in the UK is in trouble and some of our more familiar garden species are amongst those suffering serious declines. We can all help by giving nature a home where we live.
