Syracuse, N.Y. -- New Yorkers who want to get health coverage that takes effect Jan. 1 have until 11:55 tonight to sign up through the state health insurance exchange.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, nearly all Americans must have health insurance next year or face a penalty of $95, or 1 percent of income, whichever is greater.

Isabelle Caro's Death Prompts Question of Family's Role in Anorexia TreamentHeather Turgeon
As Carolyn reports today, news has spread that French actress and model Isabelle Caro — who suffered from anorexia and participated in a public campaign to raise awareness about the disorder — has died at the age of 28. Caro famously posed for an Italian ad campaign in 2007 that featured her emaciated body under the words "no anorexia."
In interviews and in her French book "The Little Girl Who Didn't Want to Get Fat," Caro said she was in and out of hospital treatment programs throughout her life. But in an article yesterday, her death prompted the Los Angeles Times to bring up an unconventional form of treatment for youngsters suffering from anorexia.
We don't know what form of therapy Caro — who weighed 59 lbs at the time the Italian ad was photographed (see link below) — received. But most programs involve the family distancing themselves from the patient. The lesser-known "Maudsley Approach" does the opposite:
According to the Chicago Tribune, which featured a story on this treatment program earlier this year, families following the Maudsley Approach start by strictly "re-feeding" their child — meals are not optional, and parents will guard their kid 24 hours a day if necessary to enforce sufficient eating. The Tribune article describes a family of a 12-year-old girl that enforced a 3 meals, 3 snacks a day policy. She threw things and became enraged, but eventually realized it was non-negotiable and started to eat.
With the Maudsley approach (backed by studies showing its effectiveness, and staffed by reputable doctors from well-known universities and hospitals) after the child is nourished enough to think more clearly, therapy is embarked on to get a the psychological roots of the disorder.
But the first step of this treatment is counter to the logic that most people employ with eating disorders — that parents should step back, not push the issue, and let the teen regain a sense of independence and control. According to this approach, families should do the opposite at the beginning — they should be more like food watchdogs until their child is out of danger.
What do you think about the role of families in treating anorexia?

Acetylcarnitine and carnitine play important roles in the human body. These nutrients move acetyl groups and fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production.
Without carnitine, fatty acids cannot easily enter into mitochondria. The acetyl group is used to form acetyl-CoA, the most important middle-man in generating energy from amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates. So it serves as an energy collector of acetyl groups and both nutrients help improve energy production. The acetyl group is also used to make the important brain chemical acetylcholine. Some studies suggest that perhaps acetyl l-carnitine can even act as a neurotransmitter by itself. This nutrient is sometimes abbreviated as ALC or ALCAR.
Benefits are shown for ADD, Alzheimers, Low Mood/Depression and Chronic Fatigue, as well as sexual functioning issues and Neuropathy.
What you may notice after taking a supplement
- Those who take carnitine pills notice an increase in physical energy, but not as much mental energy. Acetyl l-carnitine has a more immediate and noticeable mental effect than carnitine because it crosses into the brain much better and quicker. The mind boosting effect of ALC is often noticed within a few hours, or even within an hour. Most people report feeling mentally sharper, having more mental stamina, having more focus and being more alert. Some find a mild mood enhancement. Although most pills are sold in 500 mg capsules, it is preferred to use smaller amounts such as 200 to 300 mg in the morning, on an empty stomach.
- The effects from this nutrient would be to take acetylcarnitine a few times a month in the morning, usually 300 mg, and within an hour or two you will notice having more focus, sharper vision, and more mentally motivated to get things done. On higher dosages, such as 500 mg or more, you may notice a feeling of overstimulation which is distracting.
Adverse effects, safety, risk, dangers
- Side effects of overstimulation, restlessness, and nausea may occur at dosages greater than 500 mg. Even higher doses may cause insomnia. If you happen to feel nausea, next time just take the acetyl l-carnitine with food or take a lesser dose.
- You can take acetyl-carnitine occasionally at important days when you need to be alert. When you take dose of around 250 mg., watch for over-stimulation, along with headaches. Some people to well with 100 mg. and that works well to help you focus and be alert but without any negative reactions. Some people are very sensitive and require doses of less than 100 mg, whereas others don't notice an effect unless they take more than 500 mg.

This is a translation of a well-known German work, a composite production by numerous teachers. The names of the authors give, in themselves, a fairly good idea of the merits of the work, including as they do some of the most eminent specialists and internists of the German Empire. There are, of course, in a work like this some divergences of opinion and in one particular it seems peculiar that a book coming from the publishing house of Funk & Wagnalls should contain arguments advising the moderate use of alcohol and even occasionally the taking of a little more than usual on festive occasions, as suggested in Dr. Einhorn's article on the "Prevention of Diseases of the Digestive Organs." In another article, that of Fuchs on the "Prevention of Mental Disease," total abstinence seems to be advocated, at least on the part of the physician. The two volumes as a

Hi there, I am 5 months pregnant, and 37. Have had rough first part with not being able to eat and once I could, last 3 weeks, I got to eating a bowl of gluten free granola and 2 eggs with organic non-homogenized milk for breakfast... being only thing that I could eat without feeling crappy. Still not sleeping and trying to get back to primal lifestyle I had down good before becoming pregnant.
I feel a little lost at the moment... I am wondering if anyone on here has any helpful advice. I need to get my good sleep back and off the grains and back to primal. I don't feel like myself.. no energy, and just happy to eat.. and feel like I have lost my way from healthy eating. not exercising beyond walking and my busy life....my eating is sporadic and I've been eating more sugary foods lately when I eat.
I realize a lot of the emotional stuff is text book pregnancy, but it's a bit un-nerving since I had worked hard to get those things out of my life and even beat an emotional eating habit I had since a being a teenager. After trying many plans to be healthy and lean, and feel good, I was so happy to find primal worked for me.... so it's so important i get it back.
Anyhow.. I thought maybe the community and support here could help. Not many people I know agree or are willing to eat and live this way. My husband supports me, but he also eats differently. Not willing to go as far as I have gone, and has none of the tummy trouble I had, or excess chub from eating and exercising the conventional way.
Thanks for your time

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took his message about Iran to Italy this week, when he flew to Rome Tuesday to meet with Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta.
At the start of their evening meeting, Netanyahu said Iran's uranium enrichment program and plutonium facility belie its claim of developing nuclear energy strictly for civilian purposes.
"Iran says it wants a deal in which it will have civilian nuclear energy, but that is not the real issue," Netanyahu explained. "Many countries in Europe, North America and Asia have nuclear energy without centrifuges and plutonium. The only reason Iran is demanding centrifuges and plutonium is to enable it to produce enough materials for a nuclear bomb."
"This is why the U.N. Security Council reached many resolutions, including one in 2010 that called for Iran to destroy the centrifuges and cease the production of plutonium," he continued.
"If Iran retains these capabilities, it will be able to progress quickly toward the production of a bomb," Netanyahu said. "It can move quickly from a low level [enrichment] of 3.5 percent straight to 90 percent without the intermediate level of 20 percent," he said.
"We cannot let them do this. Our efforts toward peace can be severely harmed if Iran succeeds in its goals," Netanyahu said. "It will be tragic if it succeeds in avoiding sanctions."
Netanyahu will meet with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, in Italy to discuss Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, on Wednesday.
Meanwhile at U.N. headquarters in Manhattan, Israeli Ambassador Ron Proser told Security Council members Tuesday that debunking Iran's nuclear weapons program remains Israel's top priority.
Proser admonished member nations to look beyond last month's charm offensive by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the General Assembly.
"Rouhani is trying to reinforce the image that he's a moderate," Proser said, cautioning against easing economic sanctions before "Iran agrees to play by the rules."

Work crews swept up rubble from the streets of Athens Monday, following violent protests against the Greek parliament's approval of harsh new austerity measures to save the nation from bankruptcy.
At least 45 buildings were burned, including one of the capital's oldest cinemas, while dozens of stores and cafes were vandalized and looted.
More than 170 people were hurt during clashes with police, which also broke out in other cities across Greece.
Police arrested at least 74 people and detained more than 92 others. Police officers also helped firefighters gain access to several burning buildings when protesters tried to prevent them from reaching the buildings.
The Greek parliament approved drastic cuts, axing one in five civil service jobs over the next three years and slashing the minimum wage by more than a fifth.
The new bailout deal, which has not yet been finalized, will reduce the nation's debt by more than $132.5 billion.

While some might shoo away insects and call them pests, April Aldrich said bees are her passion.
I cannot not be around bees, she said.
She loves them so much she moved back to Summerville from Los Angeles, where its illegal to have bees in residential areas, just to raise them.
My fascination was with honey. Its natures medicine, people have been using honey in medicine for thousands of years, and that just fascinated me. I wanted to explore the infrastructure of the hive and how the bees even made it.
Now the beekeeper has four colonies where she raises bees, collects and bottles the honey and makes mead, an alcoholic beverage made from fermented honey.
According to Aldrich, mead is the oldest alcoholic drink in the world and is known as the nectar of the Gods.
The word honeymoon even originates from a custom of drinking mead at weddings to bring the couple fertility during the following moon cycle.
Aldrich was a beekeeper first, but coincidentally was also a passionate beer home-brewer. It was only a matter of time before she discovered mead and started brewing it herself, she said.
You brew it like a beer and drink it like a wine, Aldrich explained.
Her house had several bottles and jugs set up brewing. Combine honey, yeast and water in the right bottle with a water lock, and four weeks later the mead is ready to be enjoyed.
With the home-brewing trend on the rise, Aldrich said she had so many friends asking her how to make mead that she started her own company, Must Bee Mead. The product a kit for home brewing, which includes all the necessary ingredients and tools except water is available in a few Summerville stores as well as the Savannah Bee Company store on King Street in Charleston.
The honey in the kit comes from Aldrichs hives.
In the morning Aldrich goes to check on her bees. She suits up in her beekeepers uniform, including a straw hat with a mesh hood over it. Next she fills a metal canister, called a smoker, with pine straw and lights it on fire. As she approaches the hives she sprays the smoke, which masks the bees alert signals and keeps them calm.
First the lid of the hive is removed. Then slowly a tray is pulled out. At the beginning, the trays are black with honeycomb shaped indentations for the bees to get started on. As the bees fly through Summerville collecting pollen, they return to the hive and regurgitate it from the honey stomach, as she calls it, and store it in the hive.
This particular hive is reproducing and the bees are preparing many trays for the incoming babies, but after a while Aldrich said her colony will have grown enough shell install a screen to keep the queen from laying eggs.
Once a tray is full of honey, Aldrich harvests the comb from the tray and puts it on a device that spins the comb in a bucket to extract all of the honey.
Aldrich said everything in the hive can be repurposed and put to good use.
All the ingredients from the hive are useful, and everything is good for you.
Aldrich is a member of the Charleston Beekeeping Assocaition and suggests anyone interested in becoming a beekeeper contact the group for advice and resources.
A bee-fanatic, she of course recommends beekeeping as a hobby.
My hope is to grow an apiary. What a great place to do it, too Its Flowertown, so why would we not want to have bees and grow more flowers?
Theres no other thing in nature that offers food, medicine, wax, you can make ale its amazing.

First things first: Lan-caster is in Pennsylvania. While Ohio has a city that's spelled the same way, the natives call it "Lank-a-stir," and it's home to one of the premier music and arts festivals in this part of the country.
On July 21, the Lancaster Festival will kick off its 21st season with a full slate of artistic activities and live music covering a variety of genres at venues throughout the Fairfield County seat. As it has since it was formed in 1988, the 65-member Lancaster Festival Orchestra will provide the musical backbone for the nine-day celebration while showcasing its incredible versatility daily.
"Our musicians will perform a classical symphony one night, back up a country star like Randy Travis the next night and demonstrate their instruments at a young people's concert the next night," says Gary Sheldon, who's conducted the orchestra since it was first assembled with a collection of musicians from throughout the country prior to the festival's fourth season. "It's an outstanding orchestra that surprises everyone who hears it for the first time."
The aforementioned Travis will headline the 2005 festival, where he will perform selections from his extensive catalogue of country hits. He will join a long list of noteworthy artists who have made the stop at Lancaster's annual summer party.
Travis will front the orchestra for the festival finale July 30 at 8:15 p.m. at Ohio University-Lancaster's Wendel Concert Stage, which Sheldon calls "one of the most beautiful and acoustically perfect outdoor settings in the state."
Sheldon, who serves as both the orchestra conductor and artistic director, says the people of Fairfield County are the reason the festival has been successful for the past two decades. According to the festival's mission statement, "arts express the essence of what it means to be fully human." And, accordingly, the humans who reside in Lancaster are passionate about showcasing their community.
"It always amazes me to hear about how many people take their annual two-week vacation from work to donate their time to the festival," Sheldon says.
Staying true to its goal of exposing its visitors to offerings from a variety of cultures, this year's festival will open with an all-Russian musical program, featuring classical pianist Olga Kern, July 21 at St. Mary Church. Two nights later, the Flying Karamazov Brothers, while not actually Russian or brothers for that matter, will delight the audience nonetheless with their comedic juggling and dancing act. They'll take the Wendel Concert Stage at 8:15 p.m. July 23.
"Sunny Came Home" was a big hit for singer Shawn Colvin a few years ago. Chances are pretty good that she'll sing that catchy tune, as well as her interpretations of classic songs from the Beatles and others, when she performs July 28 on the OU-Lancaster stage. Singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor -- James Taylor's brother -- will open for Colvin. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m.
One of the more popular attractions each year is Festival Fair Day at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 23, families can enjoy crafts and games, a petting zoo, mini-train rides and an assortment of home-cooked meals. A puppet show, unicyclist and racing pigeons are also on the bill.
Overall, there are more than 70 events planned for this year's festival. In addition to the opportunity to see several concerts daily, you can sign up to try your hand at Italian street painting during the festival's first three days or satisfy your sweet tooth at an old-fashioned ice-cream social on July 21. Browse through Lancaster's galleries and shops during the Art Walk on July 22, 6 -10 p.m. Expose your children to dance, violin and other artistic endeavors offered through the "Major Arts for Minors" program. Want more? There's an antiques show on the 24th, wine tasting on the 25th and, of course, fireworks will light up the night sky on the 23rd and after Travis wraps up his concert on the festival's final day.

About the Book
Janiyah Henderson may be an adult, but her dad doesn't see it that way. Granted, she's enjoying her post-college life of little-to-no responsibility, but when her dad announces at a family meeting that she can't handle working a "real job", there's only one thing to do: land a desk job and prove him wrong. When her brother's best friend, Fredrick Jenkins, needs a new assistant, she knows she's the perfect candidate. So what if she's had a crush on the conservative accountant since she was nine? She's the last woman Freddy would fall for.
But Fredrick is far from impervious to Janiyah's charms. Though he can't help but be attracted to her, he knows Janiyah is more interested in eating his cereal and teasing him than viewing him as more than the good guy next door. When he offers her the job, he can't imagine her giving up her late mornings and colorful outfits for 8:00 a.m. meetings and pantyhose for too long. But as Janiyah excels as his employee, he fears he's in danger of falling hard for a woman he shouldn't care for.
Pretty soon the attraction they've tried to ignore boils to the surface. And after Fredrick shows Janiyah the man behind the numbers, she's ready to show him that she's just the type of woman he needs.

Spielberg's Lincoln Revving Up, Ready for Oscar Season?
Posted on Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
Playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner last night took part in a panel discussion at the Harvard University Institute of Politics under the rather prolix heading of Looking For Lincoln: In his Time and Ours – A Conversation on the Meaning of Abraham Lincoln. Kushner's invitation was most likely on the basis of his longterm engagement, scripting a Lincoln picture for Steven Spielberg.
Present at the event was a wonderful snoop who chose to confide in Jeff Wells via cellphone e-mail. This snoop reported a claim from Kushner that "the decision will be made on Lincoln next week" and that a green light would likely see the film in cinemas "before Christmas". Kushner also gave some details on how the script has been shaped and what the narrative would entail.

Despite poor expectations for Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) stock price, customers are still paying up at Apple retail stores. In fact, customers are spending more than ever at Apple retail stores. For a company that already has the most sales per square feet, this is pretty impressive.
In the video below, Fool contributor Daniel Sparks explains the disconnect between Apple's popular and jam-packed retail stores and the market's poor expectations for Apple's stock.
Apple has a history of cranking out revolutionary products ... and then creatively destroying them with something better. Read about the future of Apple in the free report, "Apple Will Destroy Its Greatest Product." Can Apple really disrupt its own iPhones and iPads? Find out by clicking here.

ELMER — Two 3-year term seats are open on the six-member borough council in the Nov. 5 General Election.
The council is currently comprised of 6 Republicans and the mayor is a Democrat.
The mayor is elected separately.
Here is a look at the candidates:
• Republican incumbent Lynda L. Davis, 67, is seeking re-election for a seat on the borough council.
Davis has served on the council for 21 years.
The councilwoman said issues facing Elmer include dealing with high taxes.
According to Davis, there are not enough ratables and too many foreclosed houses. She said her concern is to keep Elmer the way it has always been, friendly with not too much government and not too many laws.
Davis is a retired teacher and is married to Barry. They have three daughters and 11 grandchildren.
- Republican incumbent Steven A. Schalick, 43, is seeking re-election for a seat on Elmer's council.
Schalick has served on council for nine years and he is a life-long resident of Elmer.
According to the councilman, main issues facing the borough include working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Salem County to have Muddy Run stream restored.
Elmer has seen the next phase of sidewalk reconstruction throughout town.
Additionally, Schalick is involved with two non-profit organizations as a board member.
Schalick works at Schalick Mills Inc., and is married to wife Rebecca. They have three children.

HARRISBURG (AP) - State government veteran John Hanger dropped out of the race for Pennsylvania governor Thursday, acknowledging that front-runner Tom Wolf's non-stop TV campaign had left the Democrat "no path to victory" as the field shrank to five candidates.
At a Capitol news conference, Hanger said his proposals had helped focus the issues in the race, particularly his call for legalizing marijuana and taxing its sale.
But he said the "startlingly effective" TV ads Wolf launched in late January halted whatever momentum the Hanger campaign had. Wolf, a York businessman, contributed $10 million of his own money to the campaign.
Article Photos
"Tom Wolf has ... taken this race by the neck," Hanger said. "He's the first true front-runner we've had in this race and he's a commanding front-runner. His victory is not guaranteed but he's in a very strong position."
A Franklin & Marshall College poll released late last month found 48 percent of Democratic voters were undecided and 36 percent were backing Wolf. Of the other four candidates included in the survey, each had less than 10 percent.
Hanger, a 56-year-old Hershey resident, has served as secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection in the Rendell administration and as a member of the state Public Utility Commission before that. He became the first Democrat to enter the race when he announced his candidacy in November 2012.
His departure leaves five candidates in the Democratic ring: Wolf, state Treasurer Rob McCord, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, former state environmental protection secretary Katie McGinty and former state Auditor General Jack Wagner.
The Democratic winner in Pennsylvania's May 20 primary election will challenge Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's bid for a second term.
While he praised Wolf and most of his other former competitors, who collectively reported raising nearly $30 million last year, Hanger harshly criticized Pennsylvania's weak campaign finance laws, which allow unlimited contributions from individuals and political committees.
Pennsylvania's gubernatorial campaigns should be publicly funded, he said.
"The existing financing system is toxic and destructive to good government and good public policy making," he said. "Everything I've experienced in this race confirms my judgment that we have to rip this finance system out by the roots and burn it."
Hanger had struggled to raise money for his campaign. His latest campaign finance report, filed at the end of January, showed that most of the nearly $1 million he raised last year came from his own pocket and a line of credit on his home.
He was the fourth candidate to abandon the race. Lebanon County Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz, minister Max Myers and Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski had previously dropped out.

FAU Ranks Among Top 100 Colleges and Universities in Producing Communication, Journalism and Related Degrees
BOCA RATON, FL (August 29, 2011) – Florida Atlantic University has been ranked 26th in the nation out of the top 100, four-year colleges in the nation conferring associate, bachelor's, and graduate degrees on minority students in the fields of communication, journalism and related disciplines, according to a special survey in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, a magazine published bi-weekly that informs leaders from academe, industry and public policy about current trends and issues that are going on in the United States.
For the first time this year, Diverse expanded its listings of top degree producing universities for minorities to include the communications-related fields. The survey findings are divided between graduate and undergraduate, and consist of four different minority groups: African-American, Native-American, Asian-American and Hispanic.
"To be ranked in the nation's top 100 schools for minorities studying communications-related fields is a true indicator of the success in its mission to provide access to our broad-ranged curriculum to the whole community ," said Susan Reilly, Ph.D., director of the School of Communication & Multimedia Studies at FAU . "The University takes pride in proactively promoting and appealing to cultures from all walks of life."
The analysis is based on degrees conferred during the 2009-10 academic year and can be found within the survey of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data Set.
The goal of the School of Communication & Multimedia Studies in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters at FAU is to provide students with a broad liberal arts education. Through the curriculum, the research in which the school engages, and the services it provides, students gain the knowledge and skills that will allow them to understand and contribute to today's increasingly communication and media-oriented environment. Courses are designed to help students become more ethical, effective communicators in all contexts, including interpersonal situations, large public gatherings, and in print, radio, television, film, and emerging technologies. Graduates also receive the skills to become more critical and analytical consumers of communication in all its respects.
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. In commemoration of its origin, FAU is celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout 2011. Today, the University serves more than 28,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses and sites. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts & Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering & Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. FAU is ranked as a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. For more information, visit www.fau.edu.

Lawless Bulimic No More
"Xena: Warrior Princess" star Lucy Lawless has a blunt message for anorexics: "Just quit your bloody nonsense." The stunning New Zealander tells the upcoming issue of USA Weekend that she is actually tired of hearing about eating disorders. (Anorexics tend to starve themselves and exercise obsessively, while bulimics typically binge on food, then vomit or use laxatives to purge themselves.) "Anorexia sort of bores me," she said. "You think you're going to get respect, attention, blah blah blah, and it's quite the opposite." Lawless says she speaks from experience. "I used to quite like bulimia. I used to think that was fun."

Bright red-ruby. Cassis, licorice, graphite, peppery herbs and tobacco leaf on the nose, plus a whiff of chocolate mint. Classic youthfully medicinal cabernet; densely packed and pliant, with a light touch to the flavors of cassis, blueberry, menthol and graphite. Suave, energetic wine with easygoing tannins and a hint of youthful bitterness that's nicely supported by the wine's texture and sweetness.

It is now one of the busiest periods for people booking holidays at the last minute, but those seeking to book their vacation online should be wary, travel industry experts warn.
Experts at Travel Association ABTA and GetSafeOnline.org are warning that Brits booking last minute holidays online are ignoring basic online fraud prevention measures in their scramble to finds the best vacation deals.
This makes people more likely to be caught in bogus holiday scams or even risk losing their hard earned cash to web based fraudsters. Holiday makers should also ensure that they find the best travel insurance deals too.
In the research published by ABTA and GetSafeONline, 30% of Internet users booking their holiday online did not check the authenticity of travel providers before handing over their credit card details. One in four booking their holidays via the web also did not check that the web page booking forms were using secure https protocols to keep their details safe from prying eyes.
Such measures become even more critical when consumers begin hunting for 'almost too good to be true' deals via the web, leading many to opt for unknown or unrecommended providers.
Commenting on these findings, Security Minister, Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, said: "Many people will be looking for last-minute holidays at this time of year and the Internet can provide a great way of shopping around for bargains. However, in your rush to book a holiday you should make sure you are not falling victim to online crime by taking some basic steps to protect yourself. Get Safe Online.org provides trustworthy advice and information on online fraud and scams as well as how to ensure you have the right kinds of protection on your computer".
Often when the deal looks too good to be true, then something may be amiss warns Tony Neate, managing director of GetSafeOnline.org:
"When things don't start to add up, that's when you really need to do your research. For example, if you decide to rent a villa or holiday home from an individual and they don't provide a contact telephone number or don't respond to calls, and they ask for full payment upfront to be made by a cheque in the post or wire transfer, then you need to be very careful. For private rentals, this may be the only way they can take payment, but it does make them almost impossible to track,"

'World,' 'Here,' 'Nephew' included
Backgammon as a metaphor for life's travails takes a central role in Bulgarian director Stephan Komandarev's "The World is Big and Salvation Lurks Around the Corner," one of five pics chosen to represent Eastern European countries vying for a nomination in Oscar's foreign language category.
Film won best Bulgarian feature last year at the Sofia Film Festival.
Serbia's choice, helmer Darko Lungulov's "Here and There," took awards at New York's Tribeca Festival for new narrative filmmaker and New York film for his tale of romance and desperation that transcend the very different worlds of Serbia and America.
Armenia's choice is "A Magician's Nephew," a documentary about screenwriter Tonino Guera, a friend of Federico Fellini, directed by Ruben and Vahe Gevorkyants. Doc won an award in the history and culture category at last year's 12th Russian Golden Drum television and film festival in Siberia.
Other nominations for Eastern Europe are yet to gain wider recognition, including Lithuania's "Waterhole," by Gytas Luksas, about the Soviet period in Lithuania as seen through the eyes of a boy in a small village; and Slovenia's "Landscape No. 2," by Vinko Moderndorfer, about two art thieves who steal a mysterious document that unleashes diabolical powers from the past.
The closing date for submissions to the foreign language category is Oct. 1. Nominations will be announced Feb. 2 and the Academy Awards take place on March 7.

The Hispanic Studies Department at Cardiff University's School of European Studies invites submissions for a three day international conference on Hispanic visual cultures. Contributions on all aspects of visual cultures from the Spanish speaking world are welcome and the event aims to provide an encounter between studies of film, photography, and the graphic arts, both old and new, conventional and unconventional, digital and plastic.
Topics could include, but are not limited to: cinema, design, cover art, maps, installation, the built environment, peripheral visions, transnationality, autobiopicture, visual history, documentary, propaganda, poster art, genre, interior design, graphic design, murals, graffiti, mirrors, architecture, and the webscape. The conference will create a space for a distinctive cross-sectional view of images of Iberia, Latin America, and Hispanic Africa and Asia . How does the Hispanic world look in a post-global environment of fracture and eccentric subjectivities? How are Hispanic selves represented in the pixelated reflective surfaces and devices of a digital planet? How have visual cultures facilitated hegemony and dissent in the past?
Themes and strands will be shaped by contributions and do not follow a predetermined prescriptive rubric. Papers will be grouped around area specific nuclei—e.g. Peninsular studies, Cuba (Insular and Diaspora), Mexico— and are not restricted to a single theme, though the event aims to assess the role of visual cultures in mapping the contemporary and historical stresses and fractures of individual and national subjectivities within the Hispanic world. The conference aims to be a forum for new directions in the study and interpretation of Hispanic visual cultures.
Invited speakers include María Dolores Jiménez-Blanco (Buscadores de Belleza: Historias de los grandes coleccionistas [with Cindy Mack], Arte y estado en la Espańa del siglo XX), and Katie Halper, director of La memoria es vaga. A collaborative photography workshop looking at Hispanic dress codes and photographic technique is planned with Ffotogallery, as well as a virtual exhibition of Spanish artworks collected overseas.
A selection of papers will be published in an edited volume in 2010. The editors will endeavour to include as many contributions as possible. A postgraduate bursary is available to cover conference registration fees on a first come first served basis. The event is supported by the Histories, Memories, and Fictions Research Unit at Cardiff University's School of European Studies.

Shana fell in love with the new Pappa Bear image from yesterday's release and knew exactly what she wanted to do with it! The awesome ability to 'tweek' digistamps is the highlight of Shana's card, today! She used Melissa's Pappa Bear image and altered it by moving the one little bear over closer to the Pappa Bear. And this is exactly what Melissa had in mind when designing this image, for YOU to be able to make the image work for you! so I am glad to see how Shana took advantage of this feature of altering the digistamp to suit her creative needs!
Isn't her card just adorable? I am sure her hubby is going to appreciate this card from their kids on Father's Day this year! She used the Number One Dad Stitched digi on the left of the inside of her card as well! And she even added a personal (AND HILARIOUS!) sentiment on the inside right! Just adorable!See more of Shana's talent at her blog HERE, Two Cute Little Monsters! Her creations will surely get your creative mojo-moving!
Thanks Again, Shana!
We will miss you!
We will miss you!

How a "Fair" Marriage May Be Hurting Your Love LifeBrian Gresko
I met my wife in college and pursued her for over a year before realizing, as we now say, that she just wasn't that into me. My ardor for her cooled, and I stopped asking her out on what I thought of as dates but which she perceived as acts of kindness and social obligation to an awkward suitor. With romance off the table, we became friends, and from that relationship her interest in me grew, until eventually she was the one doing the pursuing.
Being that our relationship comes from a place of friendship and mutual respect, our life together has always been fairly egalitarian. Before having a kid, we lived together like roommates, with a list of expenses on the refrigerator door that we'd try to make even out by month's end. We both love to cook, and move together in the kitchen with the coordination of synchronized dancers. We enjoy similar movies, books, and television shows, and have great conversations. We generally have the same level of cleanliness. And we do our best to split the household duties and now the childcare responsibilities as well.
Sex, on the other hand, is something that we often struggle to make room for. As, it seems from Lori Gottlieb's article in this weekend's New York Times Magazine, do many couples with similar set-ups. Gottlieb reports that a growing number of marriages are organized around democratic principles, with both partners earning money, doing chores, taking care of the children, owning cars and property, and making decisions. This equality makes each partner feel good emotionally, but what's suffering? Their libidos.
It boils down like this: "A study… found that when men did certain kinds of chores around the house, couples had less sex. Specifically, if men did all of what the researchers characterized as feminine chores like folding laundry, cooking or vacuuming — the kinds of things many women say they want their husbands to do — then couples had sex 1.5 fewer times per month than those with husbands who did what were considered masculine chores, like taking out the trash or fixing the car."
Gottlieb goes on to provide anecdotal evidence from her work as a marriage therapist that backs this up. Women are happy to see their husbands helping around the house, but not turned on, while men, in particular stay-at-home fathers, sometimes feel emasculated in their marriages.
What's going on here? I think it's a lack of forward thinking and realistic expectations about sex.
First, no one associates household work with intercourse necessarily, unless you're talking about a woman in a French maid outfit or… what's the equivalent for a man? A hot butler suit? Oh wait — there isn't one. Because while men have been fantasizing about women doing housework for ages, that power dynamic has not historically existed for women. We can, for example, think of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his cleaning lady, or, if you really want to talk about some disgusting dynamics, Thomas Jefferson and his relationship with his house slave Sally Hemings, but it's difficult to think of a woman having an affair with the hired help — that dynamic doesn't have quite the same cache.
The burly, silent, buff mechanic, on the other hand, or the feisty, heroic fireman, are male archetypes that many women find attractive. The idea is that women like being saved while men like being served, and our culture as a whole has yet to shake the power of these images.
Second, passionate chemistry and friendship are different, and both require effort to maintain, especially when kids enter the picture. Just like going out on a date takes more planning when you're a parent, and you have to remember to set aside a few minutes to talk one-on-one about something other than the children with your spouse, so too do couples have to be more deliberate about their bedroom activities.
This might seem the opposite of our expectations, at least as we see them in movies and on TV. Shouldn't it just happen? Isn't chemistry a natural thing? Not necessarily. All fires need tending, and perpetual motion doesn't exist in real life, especially not with the friction of kids, housework, jobs, friends, and family obligations pulling on you. In many ways, married life with kids does not naturally provide the proper conditions for a rich, full, satisfying sex life, at least as we tend to define it in our culture.
Chemistry seems to be based on mystery, an alluring, playful power dynamic, and a sense of spontaneity things that may be impossible for a couple to maintain over time. The heady, intense buzz from an early relationship does not continue, but it does deepen into something else, a more complex sense of happiness and satisfaction. Hints of the early excitement can return, if a couple talks honestly and openly with one another about their needs and desires, and makes time to reconnect with one another romantically.
And this can still be very exciting! As sex columnist Dan Savage recommends in Gottlieb's article, just because you have an egalitarian relationship doesn't mean you can't play with power dynamics in the bedroom, if that's what gets you going. He says married couples need to "compartmentalize" their relationships, and I couldn't agree more. You can be a nurturing father or mother, an engaged spouse, a hard worker at the office, and a domestic god or goddess around the house, AND you can be a burly, sexy man or seductive temptress in the bedroom. There's a time and a place for everything. Get playful, people!
Don't take sex off your marriage's menu. It's not easy balancing it all, but it's not impossible. All it takes is some honest communication and a little time.

GRAND PRAIRIE — As card-carrying members of the Nu Folk movement, the Lumineers aim to bring music back to its pre-digital basics. They expect their fans to do the same.
Performing Thursday night at Verizon Theatre, the Denver band told its audience to savor the moment instead of just using it as fodder for another Facebook post.
"Do me a favor and put away your cellphones and recording devices," singer Wesley Schultz said at the start of the group's ubiquitous hit "Ho Hey." He repeated the request later in the show, and eventually, fans seemed to get it: There was no way a video clip could capture the communal vibe and singalong spirit of a show like this.
Like their better-selling British counterparts, Mumford and Sons, the Lumineers owe a big debt to the homespun melodies of Woody Guthrie and especially Bob Dylan. Schultz's high tenor sounded a lot like Dylan's at times, and he even held up his acoustic guitar by his ear as he strummed, a la Bob and Woody.
Despite their obvious influences, the Lumineers weren't always so easy to peg. At times, they cultivated a bleak mood, as in their overhaul of Dylan's usually whimsical "Subterranean Homesick Blues" featuring Neyla Pekarek's haunting cello.
They also embraced light moments in a way some of their colleagues don't. Where Marcus Mumford bellows with nonstop evangelical zeal, the Lumineers often sported a devil-may-care sound, especially during jaunty parlor-room piano tunes that recalled Paul McCartney ("Submarines," "Ain't Nobody's Problem but My Own").
At their best, they balanced several moods at once. "Ho Hey" was totally deceptive — a cheery singalong about a doomed relationship. The band's other radio hit, "Stubborn Love," started out terminally glum but climaxed into a chorus about resilience: "Keep your head up / Keep your love."
Performing on a simply designed stage lighted by six chandeliers — shades of The Last Waltz — the band put on a festive show, complete with beach balls, trips into the crowd and displays of exuberance. After Jeremiah Fraites climbed atop his bass drum, Stelth Ulvang one-upped him by leaping off the top of his upright piano.
They may have lost this year's best new artist Grammy to Fun. But the Lumineers certainly know how to have a jolly good time as well.

At a press conference here Monday, Metabolix announced the brand name--Mirel--for its biodegradable plastic made from corn and said it will be used in several consumer products including razor holders and gift cards.
The plastic pellets will be produced through a joint venture called Telles between Cambridge, Mass.-based Metabolix and ADM, which expects to have a corn-processing plant in Clinton, Iowa, operating in the second half of 2008.
The idea behind Mirel is to brand products or their packaging as a greener alternative to conventional plastics, which are made from petroleum, said Metabolix CEO James Barber. Like a growing number of "green," or so-called clean tech, companies, Metabolix is appealing to consumers' growing concerns over the environment and sustainability.
Companies can use the Mirel logo to indicate that it's an Earth-friendly plastic that can decompose within a few months, depending on the circumstance.
By contrast, things like plastic bags--part of the 350 million pounds of plastic created every year--remain in the environment "virtually forever," Barber said. The petroleum to make these plastics accounts for 10 percent of the oil the U.S. consumes, he said.
Metabolix expects that consumer-goods packagers will charge slightly more because they are "premium" goods. A coffee sold in Mirel packaging, for example, would cost consumers a few cents more, Barber said.
Metabolix is in talks with 40 prospective customers for 60 different applications including coffee cups and lids and plastic bags, he said.
Plastic microbes
American Excelsior has already developed a line of plastic stakes to hold down its erosion prevention blankets. The plastic stakes are better than metal stakes because they will not rust in seawater and don't require crews to retrieve them at the end of their use, said Jerry Bohannon, director of earth science at American Excelsior.
The company will also upgrade its software so that engineers can design systems around biodegradable products, a move that will allow "engineers to create products with the environment in mind," Bohannon said.
Mirel will initially be made from corn starch, but other sources of sugar can be used as well.
Meanwhile, Metabolix is already at work on a second generation of plastics grown within plants.
The company is developing a method by which the microbes that make up its biodegradeable plastic can be produced within switchgrass, Barber said.
The microbes, which are innocuous to the switchgrass they're growing in, can be extracted and made into plastic pellets. Residual biomass also could be converted into biofuels. "It'll be huge," he said, adding that the process will be available in about five years.
Mirel plastic stems from genetic research started at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology nearly 20 years ago.
The plastic is made by combining genes of several naturally occurring substances and making them function together, said Oliver Peoples, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Metabolix.
Genetic engineering is well understood but hasn't been widely applied to plastics, he said. Mirel uses many of the same techniques that pharmaceutical companies do.
"We are interested in using a number of genes to assemble teams of genes and make them work in living cells," Peoples said.

Rob Gronkowski returns to Patriots practice
|09.01.13 at 3:11 pm ET
FOXBORO — Rob Gronkowski was back on the practice field for the first time all summer on Sunday afternoon as the Patriots practiced in full pads on the grass fields outside Gillette Stadium. Prior to Sunday, Gronkowski had been limited to only agility drills in sweats and shorts and had not been spotted in full uniform.
The tight end who has had three surgeries on his left forearm and another on his back in the offseason was taken off PUP on Saturday and placed on the active roster on Saturday before the 6 p.m. deadline.
Gronkowski was in full uniform Sunday afternoon and participating in drills, including running in warmups, agility drills through blocking pads and catching passes from a coach.
In his first practice back, Gronkowski was fourth in line for reps behind Michael Hoomamawanui, Zach Sudfeld and James Develin in TE/FB grouping was moving freely.
The tight end is eligible to play in the season opener next Sunday in Buffalo.
The only three players missing were cornerback Marquice Cole, running back/returner Leon Washington and offensive lineman Will Svitek. Defensive tackle AJ Francis was not spotted on the field. He was in Miami for a special teams meeting Sunday morning before being informed during the meeting that the Patriots had signed him to their active roster, putting New England at 52 players.
The Patriots also claimed a pair of offensive linemen off waivers – Braxton Cave from the Browns and Chris Barker from the Dolphins. In order to make room on the 53-man roster for both, running back Leon Washington was reportedly waived.
The Washington move was necessitated since both Cave and Barker must be signed to the active 53-man roster and after signing AJ Francis earlier in the day, the Patriots were at 52 players.
Also of note on Sunday, the Patriots had five extra players in uniform, presumably signed to the practice squad, including defensive tackle Marcus Forston and linebacker Jeff Tarpinian, both of whom were cut on Saturday but cleared waivers.

Enforcement of a Texas Order Via Contempt
Texas has many remedies which are available to enforce a Texas court's decree/order. Contempt is a civil remedy with criminal consequences because the violator either will be fined or put in jail. To be held in contempt of court the offender must intentionally violate the court's order. The punishment for contempt varies with fines accessed in amounts up to $500.00 and/or confinement in the county jail for up to six months.
The two most common forms of contempt are: the violation of a court order; or a form of misconduct which occurs in the courtroom in front of the judge.
In findings of contempt a court order must be in writing and signed by the judge before the alleged violation occurred. However, not all violations of a court order are subject to punishment through contempt. For example, we no longer follow the English tradition of Debtor's Prison: a person in Texas cannot be jailed for not paying a debt. If the divorce decree divides credit and debts, failure to pay a debt cannot be remedied through contempt of court. Contempt of court deals with court ordered child support, spousal support or payment from an existing source of money. However, if a temporary order provides for payment of utilities or house payment as a form of child support or spousal maintenance, then any violations of these terms can be remedied by contempt of court. The bottom line is these orders have a relationship to children.
Some difficulties in contempt proceedings usually are associated with the original order. Some orders are ambiguous and too general in nature. Failure to specify with enough details is one of the major flaws which usually results in being unsuccessful in a contempt proceeding. Thus, you may file contempt proceedings and lose, not only at hearing, but bear the costs of legal proceedings.
Contempt proceedings are primarily used to enforced child support payments, visitation rights, division of property and alimony. Both parties must appear at the proceeding. Failure of a party to appear before the judge will result in the issuance of a capias. A capias is treated just like a criminal warrant and will be entered into the national, local and state police computers reflecting the warrant. Contempt proceedings are considered serious in nature and should never be taken lightly by anyone.

MARTINSBURG - After attending Potomac State College of West Virginia University, where she earned an associate degree in equine production and management, Stacie Hunter, a native of Moorefield, wasn't sure what she wanted to do next.
While still a student at the college, she thought she had found her dream job when she began working as a zookeeper at the Perry Wildlife Zoo in Wardensville, but unfortunately, the zoo closed in the fall of 2012.
While working at the zoo, Hunter became involved with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, which would lead to her next adventure.

Stacie Hunter, a graduate of Potomac State College of West Virginia University, sits atop one of the many elephants she tended during her training program with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's Center for Elephant Conservation in Florida.
After a year's hiatus from working with animals, Hunter began scanning the AZA website for jobs when she came across a very unique ad for an elephant training program at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey's Center for Elephant Conservation. "I thought I would give it a shot and sent them my resume. One Skype interview, one flight to Florida and one face-to-face interview later and I got the job," said Hunter. "Out of hundreds of applicants, I got the position. I was ecstatic."
Hunter's duties included cleaning multiple elephant barns, cutting and distributing elephant grass to more than 20 elephants and bathing and exercising the elephants. "By interacting with them on a regular basis, I learned an incredible amount of things about elephants," she said. "Working with elephants is actually very similar to working with horses. The equine classes I had at Potomac State certainly prepared me for things I did in the elephant training program."
The intensive, 10-week program is located at the RBBBCEC in central Florida and offers a unique learning opportunity that allows interns to work with experienced elephant care professionals.
Hunter told the following story about a baby elephant. "Elephants aren't born knowing how to use their trunks; this is something they have to learn. A particular baby elephant I worked with would suck water into her trunk, but then didn't know what to do with it next, so you would see her trunk swinging all over the place and she would be spraying everyone around her. It was really funny sometimes watching them learn."
During her training, Hunter had to climb to the top of an elephant and ride it. "Mounting an elephant is nothing like mounting a horse," she said. "Most people think you get to use a ladder, but you don't. I grabbed hold of the elephant's headpiece with one hand and her ear with the other, as soon as I lifted my foot to her leg, she tossed me eight feet in the air to the top of her neck. I almost went all the way over the other side of her because she's so powerful. Riding an elephant is way different than the horses I rode at Potomac State, but using my precious knowledge about riding horses, I was able to balance myself and was the only person in the program that could balance while riding."
Though Hunter is looking forward to her next adventure, she had this to say about her experience with the elephants: "When I saw the ad for this training position, I never imagined myself working with elephants, and now I'm stuck for life. I love these magnificent creatures; they have definitely changed my life forever."

Graco Recalls Millions of Convertible and Combination Child Safety SeatsKatie Loeb
As a car seat and car safety fanatic, I try to keep an eye out for things like car seat recalls and other such announcements, and one of them is making major headlines today. Graco, one of the leading car seat manufacturers in the United States, is recalling nearly 3.8 million seats made between 2009 and July 2013.
Over the past several years, both the company and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration have received complaints that the buckles on the Graco convertibles and combination seats have a tendency to get stuck, sometimes to the point when children have had to be cut out of their seats. And while this isn't an a major issue when it comes to restraining a child in an accident, it does become an issue if the car is on fire, or the car seat is used on an airplane and the passengers need to be evacuated quickly. The difficulty unbuckling is apparently made worse when food or beverage remnants have gotten into the buckle.
Graco has yet to announce a "fix," though they have been offering replacement buckles to customers who call and complain for several months now, so it's likely just a matter of time before they determine how to best address the issue. In the meantime, if you own one of the seats involved in the recall, you need to contact Graco and find out what they'd like you to do with your seat(s)… which is what we'll be doing in just a few minutes since we own and love the My Ride 65. If you can't get through, wait a little while and try again. Their call lines are likely to be very, very busy today.
The seats involved in the recall include the following: Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size4Me 70, MySize 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite and Argos 70.
Notably, seven very popular Graco infant seats have not been included in the recall, even though they use the same style crotch buckle, which Graco said is because infants don't get food/beverages in the buckle like older kids do, but the NHTSA is continuing to look into this. For those who are concerned about the infant seats, you can always call Graco and ask about alternate buckles, but it's probably best to wait a little while so that they can address this recall first.
While it's scary to think that your child's car seat may not be perfectly safe, remember that these recalls and the work by the NHTSA are implemented to keep your children safe, and that if there are any critical safety issues, they will be addressed.
For more information, see the Graco recall page here (which has been down most of the day due to high traffic) or contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109.

The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for several counties across the state tonight that will remain in effect until 2 a.m.
The advisory covers Middlesex, Monmouth, Salem, Ocean, Cumberland, Atlantic, Cape May and southeastern Burlington counties.
Coastal and low-lying areas are the most vulnerable areas, according to the advisory, which says strong shore winds and tides normally cause this type of flooding.
Coastal flooding could be a recurring problem through Friday, according to the advisory.
