How and why The Miami Heat could be a dominant force next season!!!
Ok so I'm a fan of the Heat!!! And this is why I believe that with the right roster moves , and it will only take about 2 (maybe 3)they will a force.
Current roster. (Starting lineup)
Dwayne Wade - Of course sign wade to an extension.(keep him)
Quentin Richardson - I will also keep Quentin Richarson. He can become instant offense even off the bench. But I will start him unless I can find someone way better. But of course for the money. He is more than worth it. (playing way more efficient than Beasley. and way more consistent. not to mention the winner mentality and effort he brings)
Michael Beasley - Beasley dissapoint me. If you ask me Beasley has the weapons to resemble Stoudamire. At the pf position. He has a shot , he is strong , he can finish with two hands. He can take his man off the dribble. and make some nice passes. But like mourning told him. "he needs to stop being a spectator" options are , Boozer , David Lee , Frye , Luis Scola , Maybe fit Rudy gay at that position just because of his aggressiveness and skills. ( I think he will make a bigger impact on the offense.) If you can sign any of those. Trade Beasley asap. Maybe for a more productive pg. How cool will it be to have J.J Barea and Arroyo in the same team. Barea can replace chalmers. (I dont see him getting any better , and Barea can have a bigger impact) I would prefer Jordan Farmar or Foye.
Jermaine O'neal - If I'm not mistaken he has an expiring contract at the end of the year. He has come to life at the second half of the season but knows his value has dropped. I think he will try to resign with Miami , but Miami will look another way. But There arent many options as when it comes to centers. I dont see Stoudamire signing with the Heat. but it will be awesome. And Bosh will prob cost more than O'neal and wont make the difference needed. If O'neal can play like he has lately next season I say sign him.
Carlos Arroyo - Carlos Arroyo was signed to a one year deal which I think both the team and him have squeezed the positive part from it. And If u ask me , Unless I can find a guy who averages more than 10 pts and more than 7 asssist. I will not let him go. He can give u 6 points in an off night , manage to dish 4-7 assist and commit almost no turnovers. And the way he controls the pace of the game is just beautiful. He has given the Miami Heat a much needed balance.
Bench Players that can stay.
Udonis Haslem is the ****ing man. Off the bench he is a warrior. And the maqor reason why I would trade Beasley. Beasley just doesnt play with the consistency Haslem provides. And Haslem looks to win and is not scared to take a shot. Haslem has had better games coming off the bench. And who in the league takes more charges and than him. He averages 8 rebounds a game OFF THE BENCH and almost 10 POINTS. hE IS UNTRADEABLE. MIAMI BETTER SIGN HIM!!!
Dorrel wright can stay. His athleticism can come in handy against the right matchup.
Diawara has too go.
James Jones doesnt look like himself anymore.
Magloire could be a nice third option at Center for a game with foul trouble.
Joel Anthony is a good blocker and good defender but his hands are as soft as charmin , he drops passes like nothing.
Daequan Cook....... dont know.
Any Heat fans????? Discuss.

if the heat add a player like bosh, they will compete for number 3 or 4 in the east, but they won't be "dominant."

im a big heat fan, couple things i disagree with u.
Beasley can stay another year, he has shown signs of life lately.
Haslem can stay ofcourse and Joneal can stay depending on who we can aquire in the offseason , if we could stoudamaire or bosh than jo can be go , we dont need um after that.
D wright can stay but to be honest hes 2 inconsistent, id trade him for a more consistent 3 pt shooter. He will have one good game and then disappear for a months.
Arroro needs to stay .
We got a dominant team but we still need another big name to really make us a force, beasly has shown signs off life lately, but we need him to do this against good teams also, not just these bums teams.

I'm a knick fan, if you want david lee, you can have david lee. i personally believe amar'e will join the heat this off season and join wade.
i expect bosh to get sign and traded to the bulls, and i expect my knicks to get no one.
if lebron james wins the championship this year, he'll consider joining the knicks, other than that, no way he leaves his hometown with out leaving them a championship.
if i was the knicks gm, i'd sell the farm for the guy in my sig. alot of team in the lottery have alot of good young point guards, so i think it will be much easier to get someone like john wall this year than in any other year.

Internal displacement and refugee flight due to violence and instability have forced approximately 1 in 6 Iraqis from their homes.1 The plight of persons displaced within Iraq by pervasive violence has received less attention than has the flood of Iraqi refugees into neighboring countries. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Iraq now number 2.8 million2 and are far less accessible to aid organizations than Iraqi refugees.3 While the protection and care of refugees are covered in an international mandate, IDPs, fleeing for the same reasons as refugees, are covered by the weaker Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.4 Political issues over sovereignty are at the root of this disparity.

What is current account deficit: It is the difference between a country's total imports of goods, services and transfers and its total export of goods, services and transfers. In layman terms, it means that India is a net debtor to the rest of the world. Gold imports, a hefty oil bill and falling exports due to the global slowdown are the reasons behind India's high current account deficit. (Read: Current account deficit soars to record high) Oil bill: Petroleum products are the biggest contributor to India's import bill. Nomura says India's current account deficit is likely to remain elevated reflecting the global new norm of high oil prices and weak exports. Gold imports: A sharp surge in gold imports in the December quarter of 2012 due to the Diwali festival and ahead of schedule gold imports on expectation of an impending import duty hike contributed to the record deficit, global investment bank Nomura said in a report. India is the largest importer of gold. Gold is its second biggest import item after oil and contributes around 10 per cent to the total import bill. Weak exports: India's trade deficit, or the excess of imports over exports, stood at $59.6 billion in the December quarter. Overall, in the first nine months of this fiscal, this deficit stands at $150 billion as compared to $138 billion in the year-ago period. Rupee under pressure: The worse-than-expected reading will keep the rupee under pressure. The rupee was the third worst performing currency in Asia in 2012, even though net inflows into Indian stocks were the highest in the region. It closed 2012 at 55.00 per dollar, having lost 3.3 percent of its value over the year. Financing the deficit: Robust inbound investments into equities and debt have enabled India to fund the gap. However, the quality of flows is concerning because of lower FDI inflows, which are more stable in nature, and higher debt and other capital inflows, Nomura said. The worst seems to be over: The current account deficit is likely to improve to around 4.5 per cent of GDP in the January to March quarter, Nomura said. The government and the Reserve Bank of India will take additional steps whenever warranted to tackle the gap, the finance ministry said. The deficit is likely to moderate in the March quarter if the current trend of improved exports and steady imports persisted, the ministry added. (Read: Montek calls for strategy to deal with high current account deficit) Economists, who had on average forecast a figure of just over 6 per cent of GDP, also expect the gap to narrow in the current quarter and beyond. That should give some relief to policymakers also struggling to inject momentum into an economy that appears to be growing at its slowest rate in a decade while also trying to stifle inflationary pressures.

On November 11, 2001, The ARCHIVES, and pediatrics as a whole, lost a kind and gentle ally when Walter Tunnessen left us after a brief but valiant struggle with melanoma, a disease, given Walter's interest in dermatology, that he often warned his friends and coworkers about, admonishing them to stay out of the sun. In the end, this cancer caused us to lose one of the truly fine educators of our time.
Walter W. Tunnessen, Jr, MD
Walt was a native of Pennsylvania and spent a good deal of his professional career in the northeast. Penn [University of Pennsylvania], The Johns Hopkins University, and SUNY-Syracuse [the State University of New York, Syracuse] were all blessed with his presence before his move to North Carolina. It was during his early faculty days at Penn that some of us were first introduced to Walt's many talents. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and, following his residency and a stint in the military, he was recruited by Dr Lewis Barness to run the nurseries at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr Barness knew talent when he saw it, and lack of any formal training in neonatal-perinatal medicine was considered a minor impediment for Walt. Good people adapt quickly to the circumstances that surround them, and Walt certainly did, leaving behind a well-organized nursery when he headed off to Syracuse, where, as a member of the ambulatory division in the Department of Pediatrics at SUNY, he developed his interest in pediatric dermatology. He was highly skilled as a clinician, ran a diagnostic referral program, and was the pediatric rheumatologist for a broad geographic area. Most of all, however, Walt was a teacher. At Syracuse, and subsequently at Johns Hopkins, Penn, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Walt garnered every major teaching award. He was especially proud of those that came from the housestaff. As a residency program director, he influenced the lives of hundreds of trainees throughout the years, earning their lasting gratitude. One of Walt's residents summed up this aspect of Walt's career best in remarks prepared for his memorial service:

Review: Pony vs Pony
This week we received news from Artix Entertainment that their Pony vs Pony game had some new additions. The level cap was raised to 20 and hundreds of items were in the store. Pony vs Pony launched two weeks ago. I've been under the weather the past few days, so I decided to try it out. For the online game you make your own Pony to start. Think My Little Pony meets a puzzle fighter. To battle, players match same color orbs in groups of at least four. Some orbs create protective shields and others attack. When I created a Pony, first I noticed a limit to the types of name combinations. Not a big deal, just limiting. It appears from the dashboard that you only have so many battle points per session. I thought it was per day, but mine did not reset the second day. So….I don't knowRead more →
BioWare Ireland opens in Galway
BioWare's newest facility isn't making games at all.

This company branch employs 400 people, rather than the 200 originally planned. This is EA's second facility in Ireland — the first is a PopCap location that became part of EA following their acquisition. FollowRead more →By Tiffany Nevin in News No comments yet
Review: The Sigh by Marjane Satrapi
When Archaia wrote us about the upcoming release of the English-language version of The Sign by the amazing Marjane Satrapi, I jumped on the opportunity to review it. Marjane Satrapi is best known for Persepolis and if you haven't read it, get it now! (Persepolis is a coming of age story of a young Iranian girl). "The Sigh is a timeless fairytale that promises to capture the imaginations of readers both young and old," said Mark Smylie. "Marjane is one of those rare writers who has the ability to connect with readers on a global scale and we are proud to bring this story to the U.S." The Sigh is a 56 page hardcover novel that has text and beautiful hand-drawn color illustrations. While the illustrations might seem simple, they assist in the story and are just beautiful. The story of The Sigh starts with a father that always bringsRead more →
First Look: Tera
Tera has been one MMO that I've been keeping my eyes on. It seems like it will have a little something new due to being pitched as an Action MMORPG (AMMORPG?). Well I was pleased as punch when I got to go to En Masse Entertainment's offices during PAX prime in Seattle to get hands on with Tera. Even better? It was hands on in a five man boss fight! First we were shown some new images from the game and a trailer to give us a taste of the game. After we were given the choice to pick the roles we'd like to do the boss encounter with. I chose the archer since it's a class I'm most familiar with. Our Editor-in-Chief, @Cherithe, was with me and she sat in to play the Mage. Once everyone was ready to go, we started off this mini-dungeon. After a Leroy JenkinsRead more →By stealthyslyth in PC No comments yet

'Rage' is a disk space hog for both PS3 and 360
So, if you're thinking about playing Rage on the PlayStation 3, it might be time for that console hard drive upgrade you've been thinking about. (Unless you're already maxed out and you're laughing at the mere suggestion.) Guess how much space is required for the install? Eight gigabytes. That's huge, people. And it looks like Tim Willits over at id is pretty happy about it. "Sony was great," he told Eurogamer. "Kudos to Sony for letting us do that. They don't allow every game to do that. So definitely, hats off. What we were able to do is install all the textures to the highest level. What is nice about the PS3 platform is that it's just one platform. Everyone has one Blu-ray drive, one hard drive, it's all the same. Some of the other systems you have… should I install it on my 360? Should I not install it?Read more →By Tiffany Nevin in News No comments yet

Ah, the snow monkeys are back. Yes hot springs water is better for soaking than drinking. I'm glad Hawk is none the worse for wear.
food looks yummy.
our holiday was really nice and relaxing. I only thought about work once, and was able to take care of everything in about 3 minutes. sweet deal. We usually had a nice slow morning at the bach (vacation home), then would drive over to taupo to have some fun until about 4, when we headed back and made dinner and had a super-relaxing evening. I love non-rushing holidays.
The last day in taupo was DS's kind of day. Got up nice and slow, drove to the town, walked the 'waterfront' on the lake, then went to the playground for 3-4 hours, then walk back to the car, and then we had a nice dinner, and to bed nice and early. He got the pukies overnight (likely from accidentally getting hot spring water in his mouth), and then basically slept for the drive home, and then we came home and watched glee and he went to sleep right after (around 7:30).
He's feeling much better today.
Missed you guys, though. There was no internet connection to distract us, and so we mostly just enjoyed going outside. Nice. I did check work emails at the internet cafe, and that's when I got online for about 5 minutes.
Ah, the snow monkeys are back. Yes hot springs water is better for soaking than drinking. I'm glad Hawk is none the worse for wear.
The neighborly onslaught of zucchini continues unabated so tonight I did the grated up and quick sauteed green "noodles" with ground venison, tricolor bell peppers and onions on top mixed up in some Wolfgang Puck tomato sauce. I did the "zuchoodles" in some oil that is infused with hot peppers and added a bit of parmesan cheese. Very tasty.
But I still have six BIG zucchinis left and more growing all the time.
TMI alert! Guys need not read.
My other adventure today was getting a tattoo. No, not the "tramp stamp" kind. When they reconstructed my boob after breast cancer they took a chunk of tissue from my tummy and transplanted it up so I don't have any silicone bag in the old bod. A good thing. Then they had to create a new nipple which they did by doing a tattoo. The problem was that the doctor who did it was a better surgeon than he was a tattoo artist and the tattoo never looked right and has since faded and gotten all blurry and was totally the wrong color to match the other one.
I found a female tattoo artist who lists such reconstructive tattoos as one of her specialties and had it redone today. She did a really great job. I am very pleased. It doesn't hurt much because that area has so much scar tissue that it is not very sensitive.
That's super awesome, robyn. It's so nice when your nipples match and look better. A friend of mine had the same problem with her nipple after her surgery, and had to have it redone as well. It was a really emotional thing for her, too.
I was thinking of getting my ears repierced today (the piercing has closed on one side). It's my 36th birthday, so, special treat. but then decided I was too tired.
Wow! The things I learn on this journal...
I keep meaning to get a tattoo, but I've never found a design I would consider worthy of leaving on my body for a mortician to find.
My Primal Meanderings
I've never heard of someone getting a nipple tattoo..as in a tattoo of a nipple! That's pretty cool. Hi, btw, been lurking since you returned.
I think I would rather go for this kind of thing, if that were my circumstance (sorry for huge):
Depression Lies
That's a beautiful tattoo.
Okay, somewhat of a tangent, but seeing this photo made me think of the subject again.
Notice how the second breast is carefully covered? Now, I know that for this photo, it is because the object is to display the lovely post-surgery tattoo. But what does our society have against nipples? A few years ago, I was looking through an advertisement insert for lingerie that came with our Playboy magazine. Something seemed off. After a careful perusal, I realized that all the nipples had been airbrushed out! Even the ones UNDER the lingerie, giving a Barbie-effect. This in a magazine where nipples are proudly displayed, but the advertisers can't be that 'provocative'? What the heck?!?
And who can forget the hilarious/pathetic episodes on 'Biggest Loser' when the nipples of some of the men who had 'man-boobs' were grayed out.
Is it because nipples are functional(on the ladies, at least?) And that makes them just too graphic? Or because their visibility hints at arousal, and, oh,no, we just can't bear to see that? So does a blush, and we don't gray out people's cheeks. (Not those ones, at least!)
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest.(Whoops. Unintentional.)

Pulmonary rehabilitation is the restoration of an individual with
chronic lung disease to the fullest medical, emotional, social and
vocational potential possible. Chronic lung disease is a major cause of
disability, loss of productivity, decreased quality of life and
increased medical expense. Pulmonary rehabilitation strives to increase
the patient's ability to perform daily activities with more comfort and
ease and decrease the possibility of future hospitalizations through a
structured program of education and exercise.
In the Paoli Hospital Lung Center's comprehensive Pulmonary
Rehabilitation Program, participants meet two times a week
for eight weeks. Each two-hour session uses education and exercise
to help reduce respiratory symptoms and optimize the ability to carry
out daily activities. Respiratory therapists and other healthcare
professionals, under the direction of a pulmonologist, establish
appropriate individualized programs to help patients work toward their
goals. An extended maintenance program is also offered to patients
completing the initial program.
Our program can benefit the patient with chronic lung disease who has:
Usually, people are referred to the program by their physicians. Many
people are also self-referred. We strongly encourage patients to discuss
their intentions with their physicians before beginning the program.
Should you decide to join the program, we will meet with you to discuss
your health and the program, and evaluate the results of certain tests
to determine if pulmonary rehabilitation would be appropriate for you.
We will use this information to establish realistic goals for your
individual program.
Our exercises and education will help you achieve your individual goals.
These goals may include the ability to walk, climb stairs, or perform
household chores with less shortness of breath and fatigue.
Inactivity results in loss of muscle strength, tone and flexibility and
can increase the symptoms of shortness of breath and fatigue. Upper- and
lower-body exercises reverse this process, allowing a progressive
increase in activity level with less shortness of breath and fatigue.
These exercises are prescribed according to your individual exercise
Classes that teach greater understanding of lung disease, proper use of
prescribed medication, and breathing retraining exercises can help you
manage your pulmonary disease more effectively. Energy conservation
skills will help you efficiently use your strength and breathing
capacity. Other classes teach:
After you have completed the program, you will receive individualized
recommendations that will help bring greater success in achieving your
personal goals. Every three months for one year, we will continue to
work with you to adjust your home exercise program to ensure the best
possible outcome of the rehabilitative process.
The extent of coverage will be determined prior to the start of the
program, and you will know ahead of time what your financial
responsibility, if any, will be.
Following the formal six-week rehabilitation program, participants have
the opportunity to enroll in a program in which they use exercise the
facilities at the hospital to help maintain their fitness.
The Easy Breathers Club is a free community service offered by Paoli
Hospital. At these monthly support group meetings, we present relevant
educational topics and provide opportunities for continued support for
individuals with lung disease. Contact the Lung Center to learn more.

"What's new is that it's an artificial park, with wood and steel structures so it gives us a lot of flexibility to do what we want," Martin Roy, spokesperson for Exalto said.
"The zip line and the three story high attractions are more challenging, but there will be something for everybody, it's for the whole family."
Part of the park will be free; the rest will have an entrance fee, which will vary on height.
The park will be outdoors therefore hours and the schedule will vary depending on weather.
Altiplano, the French company opening the park, chose Montreal as the first North American location because of the language.
Opening weekend the park will be open 11 AM to 6 PM. Find more information of the Exalto Park web site here.

Blackshirts Prepare for Minnesota's Toughness
With questions at quarterback from both teams, you might see up to five different quarterbacks taking significant snaps Saturday when Nebraska travels to Minnesota. Depending on the health of Taylor Martinez, Tommy Armstrong and Ron Kellogg should both see the field as well.
Minnesota might have an even more mysterious situation at quarterback; the Gophers haven't announced who will start between freshman Mitch Leidner and sophomore Philip Nelson. Nebraska defensive coordinator John Papuchis said both quarterbacks are similar enough that his defense won't have to adjust whether it's Leidner or Nelson under center.
"What they both do well is they're both physical runners," Papuchis said. "Their whole team is a physical group. The way I look at it is they're going to pound the football, they're going to try to impose their will on us and it's gonna come down to who's tougher."
Papuchis said Minnesota's physicality and run-first mentality has been evident all year, not just in the win against Northwestern last weekend.
"No matter what game I've ever seen them play, they play tough," he said. "That's just who they are. It didn't surprise me one bit that they were able to win the game."
The Gophers method of winning is forcing the opponent to play Minnesota's type of football, rather than playing into the other team and its strengths, he said.
"If they can make it a low-scoring ugly kind of grind-it-out football game, that's right in their wheelhouse," Papuchis said.
–The run-heavy Gophers rank 29th in the country averaging just over 210 rushing yards per game. Huskers defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski said the decrease in drop-back passes won't change the way Nebraska plays from the defensive line, especially from a pass-rush standpoint.
"We do a lot with four-man rush; you've got to be sound," he said. "You can't get above the quarterback."
Kaczenski said understanding the coverage behind the defensive line is the most crucial part of how effective the line plays.
"That's going to affect the way we rush," he said. "It's not about getting sacks. It's about taking away rush lanes, it's about taking away throwing windows, taking out the scrambling, all those things…there's a lot more to it. We've got some good cover guys, you know, let those guys cover."
–Both Kaczenski and secondary coach Terry Joseph said Minnesota plays a lot of max protect on offense (two tight ends on the line of scrimmage) to bolster the run game and keep the quarterback on his feet. Kaczenski said the key to attacking those offensive sets is sound fundamentals to avoid getting linemen pinned and opening up gaps and running lanes.
"You've still got to press the pocket, too," he said. "You've got to keep moving vertically towards the quarterback."
Like on the line, Joseph said discipline in the secondary is key when the safeties are so heavily involved in defending the run. He added that Minnesota adds another type to the variety of offenses Nebraska's young defense has seen this season.
"Again this week we'll have a lot of personnel groupings we'll have to deal with and make sure our communication is up to par," Joseph said. "We've just got to get out there and be tough, physical, and play with a lot of eye control."
Joseph said Minnesota's offense aims to minimize pressure on the quarterback with protection and the run game, which stresses defensive backs by involving safeties in run-stopping.
"The plays are gonna be a little bit longer this week, especially in those big sets," he said. "(Kaczenski's) group has done a great job here the last few weeks creating pressure, especially out of four-man rush. Hopefully we can keep these guys contained, and that'll kind of limit the routes we'll have to cover and also the time."
Joseph said his defensive backs need to figure plays may last 4-5 seconds without pressure before routes break down, after that it's crucial to match in man coverage and finish the down.

Chummy Joes
on ESB
on ESB
|Hey, everyone! I made Chummy Joes!
|Chummy Joes
|Chum Bucket
|Sheldon J. Plankton
|"Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob"
|List of objects
Chummy Joes are a type of food that is sold at the Chum Bucket. They are a parody of Sloppy Joes, a sandwich comprised of ground meat and sauce on a bun, but instead Chummy Joes have chum on a bun. At the end of the episode, "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob," Plankton told the fish at the Chum Bucket that he would serve these to them, but they had already left for the Krusty Krab.
He created them, only after he realized to himself, he did not think he would make it that far. Like all of Plankton's food, these are not safe to eat, and if ingested, they would cause health complications.
Chummy Joes are two sesame seed buns with chum inside the buns. The way the chum is put in the buns makes it look messy kind of like Sloppy Joes.
This section is too short. You can help the Encyclopedia SpongeBobia by expanding it.
- In the Brazilian dubbing, Chummy Joes are called "Lixoburgers" ("Junkburgers," literally), since the Chum Bucket is called "Balde de Lixo" ("Junk Bucket") and the food (along with the restaurant) is hazardous to eat.
- Ironically, Plankton's customers left before anyone digested the Chummy Joes.
- Chummy Joes have not been eaten by anyone yet, but it can be assumed that it can cause food poisoning because most of his food can.
- In the Greek dubbing, Chummy Joes do not have a name because Plankton's line wasn't ''Hey everyone, I made Chummy Joes'' but in Greek dub it was ''Hey everyone, I have something for ya'' , so their name is unknown.

Brandon T. David is back in his hometown this weekend, where the Muskegon Film Festival has settled into a new home.
David, 35 years old and a 1992 graduate of Muskegon High School, Saturday screened his short "a little secret" at the 8th annual festival that concludes Sunday at the two-screen Harbor theater.
Resuming today at 11 a.m. and concluding at 9:30 p.m., the festival that until this year was held at the downtown Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts is a first for director David, a 2007 film graduate of Columbia College in Chicago.
"It's a little nerve-wracking, actually, and especially to be back here," David said after "a little secret" was initially shown during a 9 a.m. session in The Port Theater of the Harbor, and before it reprised at 6 p.m. in the same venue.
"When you leave, you want to come back and impress the people who you told, 'I'm going to live the dream,' and trying to impress the people when you come back, and you hope that you do.
"I'm really nervous, 'cause my parents are coming tonight. So it's like, What are they going to think? They helped me pay for my education, so now I have to prove that I actually did something while I was there."
David's dark little film lasts all of eight minutes. In that span, it unfolds a memory of an adult son whose parents, when he was a child, convinced him to bury a living thing. But what was it, and what realization was so dire that he never got over the emotional trauma?
Similar questions, along with various observations, tended to pop up in the 2009 film festival's first session, which was devoted to short student films (meaning the movies don't last long; no word on the height of the film makers).
The comedy "See Saw," from director Diego Attanasio, spoofed the "Saw" string of torture-porn horror films, a series in which victims are strapped down and cannot escape a horrible death unless they solve riddles posed to them by a disenfranchised voice.
Good for more than a few laughs was director Dean Fleischer-Camp's 21-minute "Science Fair: Or: Migratory Patterns & the Flight of the March Brown Mayfly."
Set where you might expect, a science fair, the piece underscores the importance of being a kid while you can — notwithstanding the demands of overbearing parents — and includes the observation, "When you grow up you can be whatever you want to be, except young."
(Oh, and hilariously, gerbils, by the way, can't swim, and an entrant having trouble reading his cue cards aloud suggests that staring at the sun might indeed cause blindness.)
In the 15-minute "Call Waiting" by Timothy McDermott, a young female receptionist, whose connection to telephones is literal, withstands her matchmaking mother fixing her up with taxidermists who leave their work behind and a narcoleptic who, mom laments, "wasn't even awake he and didn't like you."
MFF unofficially kicked into gear at 7:45 p.m. Friday night, when around 140 people attended the U.S. premiere of "Food, Inc.," a damning documentary of America's mega food industry. In the next few weeks, "Food, Inc." is scheduled to hit a few metropolitan markets, but first West Michigan.
At 10:15 p.m. Friday, around 100 people took in "Zombie Atrocity: The Italian Zombie Movie Part 2," a movie that director Thomas Berdinski, who describes himself as "a film hobbyist," shot in West Michigan. On May 16, a screening of "Zombie Abomination: The Italian Zombie Movie Part 1" drew about 165.
As for the attendance falloff, "That was to be expected," Brendan Pelto, who runs the Harbor with his wife, Jen, said Saturday. "It's a zombie movie."
"A little secret" is not. Brandon David made his senior project in spring 2007. It had its world premiere at Columbia College that December. Some 55 different people worked on the film.
"It amazing," said David who, as an extra, can be seen in "one single frame" in a funeral procession of a bigger movie shot in Chicago, "The Dark Knight."
"I've been involved in films where there are five people on set, and in films where there have been a thousand people on set," David said. "It totally amazes me that something with five people and something with a thousand people can be the exact same quality."

June 12, 2012
Suppose two opposing political candidates are standing outside your favorite supermarket, flashing cash and running their mouths at you as you enter. Suppose they simultaneously compete – somewhat rudely – for your time and attention. Would you stop and listen or keep walking? Before you answer, imagine you can see how much money both politicians have in their hands. One is clutching a $20 bill and a couple of ones, while the other is earnestly gripping just a few ones and a couple of quarters. There is a magic money machine in front of each candidate that dispenses fresh dough for the candidate to dispense to all takers.
"Vote for me, and I will give you $22!" one of the candidates declares.
"Vote for me, and I will give you $3.50!" the other one says.
Gut check time - can your vote be bought? If so, what's your price? If not, how do you defend yourself from the onslaught of unsolicited sales pitches?
According to a June 6 report by Liz Lefebre at uscatholic.org, incumbent Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the super PACs supporting him spent about $30 million successfully defending the governor from the challenge of Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett in the state's June 5 gubernatorial recall election. That comes out to about $22 per vote for Walker, who received 1,334,450 votes, and $3.50 per vote for Barrett, who received 1,162, 785 votes and had roughly $4 million backing his efforts to unseat Walker.
Campaign spending vs. clarity on the issues
With political spending poised to reach new heights in Campaign 2012, American voters would be wise to step back from the flood of money and focus on candidates' records and where they stand on the issues. This is easier said than done, since candidates have been known to "stretch the truth" somewhat during campaign season. But with the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision opening the door for even greater amounts of cash to influence U.S. elections, the time is right for a backlash. That backlash needs to be premised on factual information, not expensive political spin.
Let's call it "Voters Enlightened."
In spite of all the big bucks flooding the political arena, it is still possible to let research and reason – not big bucks and bogus ads – guide your voting behavior.
Keep these three things in mind during Campaign 2012, and you will be on your way to electoral enlightenment.
1. Politicians and the special interests financing them will be spending more money than ever before during Campaign 2012, thanks to the Citizens United decision.
2. Politicians and the financial interests supporting them are trying to buy your vote through the commercials you see. They are rarely, if ever, trying to provide you with accurate information so you can make an informed decision.
3. You do not have to sell it. You can "buy your own vote" by basing your decisions at the voting booth on research and reality. Just for fun, you can put some change or a buck in a jar (a big jar) every time you see or hear a particularly childish or offensive campaign ad. If you do this, you will have a tidy sum saved up by Election Day. That way, all the money the Super PACs are spending results in more money in your pocket and no influence on your vote. Not exactly what they had in mind, but that's OK. It's a free country and you have the right to ignore twisted political ads.
Time vs. money in the battle for your mind
Points 1 and 2 are easy enough. Once you understand that the billions of dollars that will be spent on this campaign are being spent in order to influence voters' choices, not necessarily for providing them with accurate information, then you've developed an "immunity" of sorts to the toxic Citizens United decision. You can help others enact their immunity by reminding them of the first two points every time you find yourself in a discussion. It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Green, a Libertarian or something else, No. 1 and No. 2 will always hold true.
The next step, No. 3, will actually require some discipline and some effort, but it is the only way Voters Enlightened can triumph over the tidal wave of cash, foreign and domestic, unleashed by the Supreme Court's controversial decision. It boils down to this: Dedicate at least three hours between now and Election Day researching the candidates, their records and their positions before deciding who gets your vote. Three hours dedicated to cutting through the crap vs. billions of dollars designed to shape, mold and influence your perceptions. If you put in the effort, your time beats their money. That alone seems worth it to me, regardless of who wins the election.

1975 Wacky Pack Original Art Smell Ecch-100
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $3,162.50
From the fifteenth series of Topps Wacky Packs, offered is the original art to the Wacky Pack sticker spoofing Shell Motor Oil. Appropriately, a skunk is the mascot featured on this original Wacky Pack art product parody. This artwork was original sold in the famous Topps auction of 1989, where it appeared as one of the two artworks represented by lot C119. As close examination of the illustration shows, there is the most minute amount of type missing from the "o" and "t" in the word "motor" next to the little skunk driving the car, but this is very minor and does not detract from the art in any significant way, but is being pointed out for the sake of accuracy since it is easy to miss. (This type of letter loss is very common with original Wacky Pack artworks.) Standard production-related remnants on blank reverse. The front is in Near Mint condition. 5 x 7 inches. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $3,162.50

The Kickstarter for Dex recently reached its Wii U goal, and will arrive on the console two to three months after the initial release on PC, Mac, Linux, and Ouya. For those who haven't been following Dex, it is a cyberpunk, story-driven sidescrolling RPG with action/stealth gameplay mechanics. The team members from studio Dreadlocks explain more about the game they want to create.
We wanted to create an RPG that featured hacking not as a stand-alone mini-game, but rather as a legitimate solution to game problems, a core gameplay mechanic rooted deeply in the story and level design. This was seen in the old '80s cyberpunk games (Neuromancer by Interplay Productions, for example). Since the '80s, cyberpunk games have generally lacked that unique feel, that extraordinary cyberpunk aesthetic – no more immersing your whole being in cyberspace, no more cartons of rice left on the table while breaking through the intrusion countermeasures…
It seems that Dreadlocks are on the right track of reaching their lofty vision. The attention to detail is impressive, with the characters and locations of Dex all hand drawn from the studio members themselves. It appears to have a Metroidvania feel with a touch of Deus Ex elements sprinkled in. The game features multiple solutions to obstacles players may encounter along the way through gunfights, silent kills, hacking, or with specialized skills and equipment. This looks like an RPG that truly gives users the freedom to play and explore the game with their own play-style.
Dex certainly looks ambitious, but we'll have to wait a while longer for the game to arrive. Will you be picking this up when it drops?

STATE COLLEGE Over three days of nonstop movement, Penn Staters turned the Bryce Jordan Center, typically a basketball venue, into what one student called "the biggest celebration of life you can possibly have."
"I think this is the epitome of how to live your life," senior Emma Gregory said of THON, Penn State's annual 46-hour dance marathon to raise money for pediatric cancer.
In its 42nd year, THON raised a record $13.34 million, up from last year's tally of $12,374,034.46.
The dance marathon is the culmination of a yearlong fund-raising effort by Penn State organizations and individual students. More than 700 people were selected to be dancers. They stood up at 6 p.m. Friday, and could not sit - let alone sleep - until 4 p.m. Sunday.

Criminals will reap benefits of SAFE Act
As New Yorkers argue, debate and in some instances physically protest the NY SAFE Act, one must truly consider who the SAFE Act actually protects. Hoping to gain political momentum by using tragic incidents of violence, some state politicians chose to go after the law-abiding citizens who make an easily accessible "soft" target, and in doing so hope for the usual lawful compliance.
Criminals don't obey laws, making them a challenge to go after, or a "hard" target. A soft target is a term often associated with terrorist acts against an easy target. The idea seems to be working its way into the political culture of our elected officials. Disarming or severely restricting New York's lawful citizens can ensure a "soft" target for those who are not so lawful.
The well-armed and ill-intentioned thugs of today's urban and rural areas should rejoice at the fact the politicians have softened up the targets and made these thugs' lives much safer.

I'm currently writing my plan and all the starting strength rules on paper. It suggests that the first time I should squat only 100 lbs. Seems too light, but ok I'm following to program a 100% so I'm doing it.
However, I downloaded the warmup calculator for starting strength and it includes a 40 lbs warmup for a 100 lbs work set. This isn't even possible with a empty bar. Am I doing something wrong?
well then
I could be wrong... but I noticed the same thing with the calculated warm up for my weights. I can only press about 65 pounds and the warm up was weird - it went 35, 30, 35, 40 or something. That went away once I got to "normal" weights. I haven't looked carefully at the Excel calculations but I can only assume it is some sort of calculation that gets a little messed up with lower weights. I'm sure you will be fine warming up with a 45 lb bar

China has to find a way to continue its rapid growth without choking to death. Literally.
When I landed in Beijing last week, the sky was a brownish miasma through which distant landmarks were only faintly visible. The moment I stepped outside the city's vast airport, I noticed an acrid hint of burning coal in the all-too-palpable air. The next day, when I went to see the Great Wall, China's most famous cultural treasure was wreathed in a gauzy shroud of pollution.
In Shanghai, the story was much the same. The city seemed to hide itself in an obscuring haze. Skyscrapers revealed themselves suddenly; you got close enough and all at once a huge building appeared. It was as if the architecture had decided to play hide-and-seek.
Even Hong Kong's skies were grayish rather than blue when I landed here Sunday. The last time I visited the city, about 15 years ago, the sky was crystalline. Locals say that smog from the churning factories of southern China often drifts over Hong Kong -- nothing like the pall that encloses Beijing and Shanghai, but enough to notice.
Pollution is just one of the mega-problems this country must solve as it continues its unprecedented pace of development. One week and change in China does not an expert make. But my solid first impression is that for the foreseeable future, the authoritarian Chinese leadership is going to have to focus attention and resources inward. What they're attempting is a high-wire act extraordinaire.
China now has the world's second-largest economy, but it also has 1.4 billion people, an estimated 500 million living in dire poverty. Per-capita gross domestic product is just $4,300 a year, compared to about $47,000 in the United States. In glittering Shanghai, where celebrity chefs service a Gucci-clad clientele along the historic Bund, I walked through a maze of alleys where the tiny, run-down homes lack even indoor plumbing.
Keeping the gap between rich and poor from becoming a permanent chasm -- and a source of social unrest -- is another daunting challenge. The government has raised the minimum wage and moved toward establishing a more effective social safety net. But even if the current pace of economic growth can be sustained, turning China into a middle-class nation will take decades.
The rich are reportedly feeling vulnerable. Wags in the capital gossip about tycoons who have sent their families -- and their money -- abroad. Just in case.
China also has to manage an unceasing flood of migration from the countryside to the cities. According to the 2010 census, the Chong-qing metropolitan area is home to nearly 29 million people; Shanghai, 23 million; Beijing, 20 million; Chengdu, 14 million; Guangzhou, 13 million. There must be housing, and sewer and electricity lines to service sprawling neighborhoods, and police protection. Oh, and jobs.
There is also the issue of corruption. Dingli Shen, a professor at Shanghai's elite Fudan University, said that the Chinese understand when officials are greedy, but not too greedy. Some government and Communist Party officials, he said, are "now on the brink of unreasonable greediness."
But according to Shanghai pollster Victor Yuan, the government is doing fairly well. Yuan has been doing opinion research in China for nearly 20 years, and he said that according to recent polling, about 65 percent of Chinese citizens believe the government is responsive to their needs.
I spoke with entrepreneurs, executives and even intellectuals who genuinely believe that the Chinese system, though undemocratic, is delivering amazing results.
I think the most visible test will be how China deals with the noxious pollution that is a woeful fact of daily life. What legitimate government fails to secure for its citizens the right to breathe?
Watch the air.

Now, that will change your way of thinking. Impossible to watch a field of goats and write depressing poetry.
Baby Goats, kids, and nannies, bucks, does billies...from WIKI: "The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae. There are over three hundred distinct breeds of goat...Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. Goats have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world.[2] In the twentieth century they also gained in popularity as pets.[3]Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males as bucks or billies; their offspring are kids. Note that many goat breeders prefer the terms "buck" and "doe" to "billy" and "nanny". Castrated males are wethers. Goat meat from younger animals is called kid or cabrito, and from older animals is sometimes called chevon, or in some areas "mutton".

Would you veto this trade?:
Matt Schaub for Vincent Jackson
I have never vetoed a trade, and I don't really suspect collusion here since both teams are still in the hunt. The owner that is giving up Schaub has been asleep at the wheel and not replaced players during their bye weeks, but has still stumbled to a 4-1 record. He has Orton on his roster.
2 replies , Last at 14 Oct 2010, 10:48am by cly
I generally don't vote against trades, either - my leaguemates are all grown-ups and can make their own deals - but I do have a problem when owners who have been otherwise inactive suddenly perk up to make what looks like a lopsided deal. I would ask the following questions:
Is this a keeper league? If so, while I don't think it's a good trade, there's no way to gauge what either owner thinks of V-Jax's long-term value.
Is this a money league? If not, then no way do I veto. If so, I'd at least bring up the fact that I think this trade looks out of whack.
It is not a keeper or money league, but this trade was overwhelmingly vetoed without my participation.
Thanks for the insight.

I had a rhinoplasty 18 months ago and I am happy with the results but I'm still concerned about the droopy tip which even though improved is still droopy. The tip is hanging a bit even in repose but definitely more when I smile. I don't want to have the muscle cut or altered -- is it complicated to fix it without affecting the muscle underneath? I really don't want to go through a major surgery but if there is an easy fix, I would go for it. Please help me with your professional opinion!
Is There an Easy Revision of Droopy Nose After a Primary Rhinoplasty? Is It Just the Columella? (photo)
Doctor Answers 15
Droopy tip and hanging columella after rhinoplasty.
Droopy tip and hanging columella after rhinoplasty can be repaired using local anesthesia to correct and reproject your tip. This needs to be done by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who knows how to prevent the top from drooping.
Droopy tip correction by secondary tip rhinoplasty.
Your profile photo shows that the angle between your columella and your upper lip, the nasolabial angle is less than 90 degrees. it sould be about 100. The procedure is relatively simple and it can be done under local anesthesia. The tip of the nose is lifted superiorly and fixated to the septum after removing some of the lower septum.
Fixing a Droopy Nasal Tip afer Primary Rhinoplasty
The slight "droopiness" of your nose is referred to as a "hanging columella". In your pictures, this appears to be caused by a slight elongation of the midline cartilage of the nasal septum. A simple fix for this would be to trim 2 mm or so of the elongated septum. This would be a very minor procedure.
If, in addition to this, it bothers you that the tip of your nose moves when you smile, to resolve this would require a releasing incision of the muscle at the base of the nose (the nasalis muscle) to reduce the muscle's function.
At any rate, be sure to visit an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon (or surgeons) for a face-to-face consultation to fully assess your options before proceeding with any further course of treatment.

Closed Tip Rhinoplasty for Revision
You could have an isolated tip procedure with removal of some caudal septal cartilage and a tip rotation with suture support. This could be done under a closed rhinoplasty tip procedure. This is not a hanging columella or a muscular tip problem.

Yes tip lifting might be easeally corrected with local sedation/si la punta nasal podria ser corregida facilmente
yes if only it is the tip it might be easeally corrected trough a light local anesthesia at office instalation of course without any spetial remodelling fillers except your own fat and plastma and besides lifting cartilages without touching the bones and septum.
si podria corregirse facilmente mediante anestesia local en la oficina sin tocar el hueso ni el tabique nasal y sin ninguna inyeccion remodelante excepto tu propia grasa y plasma
Revision surgery
It appears that you have some alar retraction as well as hanging columella. You need to see a Board certified surgeon that does revision rhinoplasty to determine the best and most simply revision. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
Revision rhinoplasty can be simple or complex depending on how much needs to be changed
From the posted photos, it seems that altering the tip angle might be achieved without complex surgery. However, it's important to get a personal exam to determine exactly what the cause is and therefore the best course of treatment. It might be as simple as shortening cartilage or resuspending structures. But if the support is missing it may be more involved to get a long lasting result.
Droopy nasal tip after Rhinoplasty
Hello 'casablanca', thanks for your question. There are several reasons for a droopy nasal tip, including a weak columellar support, bulky/ bulbous tip, over-resection of the nasal septum during rhinoplasty, and a hyperactive depressor septi nasi muscle. Without more information regarding your preop and current anatomy, or the details of your rhinoplasty surgery, it is difficult to ascertain which of these may be the source. Based on your photos alone, a columellar strut cartilage graft may help support the tip, giving you a nice result. Also, your description that the tip droops more on animation (smiling) tells me that you would benefit from division of the depressor muscle. I am not sure why you have an aversion to division of this muscle, which is commonly performed during rhinoplasty procedures, but it should help your concerns and would be a smaller surgery compared to your initial rhinoplasty. Good luck!
Rhinoplasty issue for revision
The lateral view shows a nice profile with the tip angle a bit acute. A slightly more elevated tip may be possible. Best to be seen in person. I do not think that the muscles have to be divided. Good luck.
Droopy tip
At 18months it is appropriate to do, what you would need, a pretty simple revision. What you need the most is a strong strut in the columella and possible shortening of the caudal septum. A Facial Plastic Surgeon with plenty of experience in Rhinoplasty and Revision Rhinoplasty should be able to help your situation.

FTC Tetracycline Charges Denied.—
Drug companies were expected to challenge in court a Federal Trade Commission ruling that six of the nation's leading firms conspired to fix prices on tetracycline. The FTC indicated it believed the patent on tetracycline was invalid.The five-man commission claimed the right to take steps to limit or completely halt enforcement of drug patents by two of the firms, Chas. Pfizer & Co., and American Cyanamid Company. The FTC charged they had obtained the patents unfairly by withholding important information from the US Patent Office.The other three firms charged were Bristol Myers Company and Bristol Laboratories, Inc.; Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation (Squibb), and the Upjohn Company.Pfizer and Bristol-Myers promptly denied the allegations. They and Cyanamid said they would appeal to the Federal courts.The FTC, reversing a hearing examiner's findings, ordered the five manufacturers to scrap all price lists for tetracycline and publish new

TRENTON — To deter people from turning to emergency rooms for care of a cough or a sneeze, the Henry J. Austin Health Center has a promising approach to delivering better health care: the medical home, where each person has a primary-care doctor and a team of professionals who can provide them with comprehensive, quality care.
"This is the direction we need to go if we want to make sure our city residents get the best care possible," said Dr. Kemi Alli, chief medical officer. "Primary care is best had in the medical home, not in the emergency department."
The diversion program, which began last year, is a collaborative effort between the health center and Capital Health Regional Medical Center to steer people away from the emergency room to a primary-care doctor.
"If you have a cough, they (emergency room personnel) treat the cough. If you have a backache, they treat the backache," Alli said. "We treat the whole person."
Even if patients come in with a cough, they will make sure that women have had a mammogram, men a prostate exam or, for those with diabetes or high blood pressure, routine checkups.
"It's the preventive care, the proactive care that emergency rooms are not designed for," she said. "That's what saves lives. ... That's what reduces health disparities in cities like Trenton."
Studies show that patients who see the same doctor repeatedly over time have better health outcomes than those who bounce from one doctor to another, Alli said.
"They know you," she said. "They know your illness. They don't have to review years' worth of data and charts."
Many of the patients who frequent the emergency room are poor and uninsured or underinsured. An on-site patient navigator meets with them, and if they do not yet have a medical home, schedules follow-up visits for them at Henry J. Austin. There, primary-care services including dental, nutrition, social service, substance abuse assessment and intervention, mental and behavioral health, translation services, transportation, eye care, podiatry and an on-site pharmacy are available to them.
The patient navigator follows up with them to make sure they don't fall through the cracks, Alli said, but therein lies the biggest challenge.
"Some people have been going to the emergency room for years, so that's the hurdle," she said. "Getting people to change their behavior is a process that takes time."

United Airlines Plane Hits Violent Turbulence, Leaves 1 in Critical Condition
A United Airlines flight heading to Billings, Mont. encountered severe turbulence on its descent, injuring three crew members and a number of passengers. A crew member remained hospitalized Tuesday after violent turbulence triggered "pandemonium" aboard and sent passengers and crew flying through the cabin, according to company representatives and a man who was on board.
The Boeing 737, carrying 114 passengers, departed from Denver at 11:57 a.m. on Monday and landed at 1:23 p.m.
"At the time of the incident, skies over the Intermountain West were partly cloudy but winds were howling over southern Montana and northern Wyoming," said weather.com meteorologist Alan Raymond. "The plane likely encountered what's known as "clear air turbulence" which is nearly imperceptible to the aircraft's onboard radar."
(MORE: Pilots Who Landed at Wrong Airport Confused by Lights)
Ejay Old Bull said drinks had just been served and passengers were moving around the cabin on the flight from Denver when the plane started to lurch violently with no prior warning, approximately 55 minutes into the hour-and-a-half flight.
"At first the turbulence was like a jarring up and down, but when we started going left to right that's when I knew something was wrong," said Old Bull, a 26-year-old graduate student who was returning to school at Billings' Rocky Mountain College.
Old Bull says the pitching and yawing of the plane caused the oxygen masks to drop, and he watched his unrestrained seatmate crash headfirst into the overhead luggage bin and briefly lose consciousness. Meanwhile, a crew member was bouncing around in the galley just behind his seat, Old Bull said.
"She just started going up and down when we dropped."
Also caught in the fray, a flight attendant. Old Bull said he could hear her "flying around in the back of the cabin."
As the plane leveled out, Old Bull said people were visibly shaken. He heard one man ask, "Where's my my baby?" Luckily, the baby was safe and unharmed.
Old Bull and other passengers, one of whom was a nurse, attended to injured passengers and flight attendant through the remainder of the flight.
(MORE: Plane Gets Stuck in the Snow in Kansas City)
IFederal safety officials said they were looking into the incident that left three crew members and two passengers injured.
No details were available on the condition of the female crew member who remained hospitalized. United spokeswoman Christen David said an airline supervisor was by her side at the hospital.
The Boeing 737-300 involved has been taken out of service while the airline reviews what happened, David said.
"Our flight safety investigators are working closely with the NTSB to analyze the flight data," she said in an emailed response to questions.
Flight 1676 encountered the unusually rough turbulence Monday afternoon while flying over Wyoming at an altitude of 34,000 feet, authorities said.
Old Bull said that when the plane finally quieted, he saw a frightened-looking man poke his head out the door of a nearby restroom and then crawl out, clutching at an armrest to keep his balance.
Passenger Joe Frank, 20, told The Denver Post in an email that the plane dropped violently and he heard a loud bang. He said a baby was propelled out of a parent's arms and landed in a seat nearby, but the infant didn't appear to be hurt.
A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said the agency was gathering details on the severity of injuries and whether there was any damage to the aircraft. That information will determine if a full-scale investigation is warranted, said NTSB spokesman Terry Williams.
During the last decade about 33 people annually were injured during turbulence on airplanes, with crew members suffering most of the injuries, according to information from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Turbulence is caused by air movements created by weather events such as thunderstorms, cold or warm fronts and air moving around mountains, according to the FAA. It can occur unexpectedly and when the sky appears clear.
Authorities say staying buckled up is one of the easiest ways to prevent injuries.
