Next September will be a Homecoming of sorts for Jim McElwain as the former Alabama assistant will face his old team when Colorado State comes to Tuscaloosa.
As expected, Alabama has announced a football series with Colorado State, with the first game taking place in Bryant Denny Stadium on Sept. 21, 2013.
McElwain, who was the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator from 2008-11, has just finished up his first season as the Rams head coach. CSU finished the year 4-8, 3-5 Mountain West.
The next meeting between the two schools has yet to be determined, but will take place during either the 2015 or 2017 season.
This agreement between Alabama and Colorado State completes the Tide's 2013 schedule.

The Dance Department's spring concert, EMotion, delivers on both implications of its title. Three pieces, by three choreographers, come on strong with energy and visual complexity, and with bold contributions from resident musician and composer John Osburn and guest artist, singer/songwriter Elijah Aaron.
Guest choreographer Olivier Tarpaga, originally from Burkina Faso, opens the program with his collaborative composition Avec Le Vent, a surreal, dreamlike landscape of movement with eight student dancers. Aaron's atmospheric vocals and guitar are punctuated by riveting thunderstorms of drumming by Osburn.
The Vivian Girls is Associate Professor of Dance Sandra Mathern-Smith's response to an epic fantasy manuscript by outsider artist Henry Dargus, and it's a satisfying perpetual motion machine of eight women embodying the fierceness and urgency of a team of tireless superheroes.
The third and final piece is a series of four excerpts from Swan Lake, re-imagined and choreographed by South African performer Dada Masilo, who set this work on 16 students during her weeklong residency at Denison in February. Masilo's unique movement vocabulary and her witty and bold gender-bending interpretation of classic narrative will be familiar to anyone who saw her performance in Swasey Chapel earlier this semester.
Performances are nightly, 8 to 9 p.m., in Doane Dance Building (231 West College Street) through Saturday, April 21. Call for reservations: 740.587.6799.

That Lady in the Locker Room Is Mets Pitcher Ron Darling's Model Wife, Toni O'Reilly
Toni O'Reilly Darling, 27, has no freckles. A Wilhelmina model, she is slim-limbed and leonine, with a head of titian hair as wild as a bonfire. And she is besotted with "Ronnie." "He is the handsomest man I've ever seen," she declares. "I mean, like drop-dead gorgeous." In his fourth season with the New York Mets, Darling, 26, is one of a quartet of star pitchers that has led the team to its best record ever—and a date with the Houston Astros in this week's National League Championship Series.
Darling, whose nickname on the team is "Mr. P" (for Perfect), will be a model of composure when he takes the mound against the Astros, while Toni will be unraveling in the stands. "I'm a maniac when Ronnie pitches," she admits. "Nobody wants to sit beside me. If he's doing well, I'm the best, but if anyone gets a run off him, I hate everybody."
The couple met in December 1984 on a blind date—dinner with mutual friends—that neither wanted. She was flashy, foxy and free with her opinions. For all she knew about baseball, a sacrifice fly could have been a suicidal insect. He was reserved, introspective, soft-spoken. Each was on the rebound from a previous relationship (hers with a male model, his with a Yale classmate to whom he was engaged). "I had no women in my life," says Darling, "and the last thing I wanted was to meet somebody unbelievably special again." In a blunt display of disinterest, Darling showed up for dinner dressed in jeans, a frayed shirt and gamey hightops. "I walked in," he recalls, "saw Toni and thought to myself, 'You stupid....' " Still, they had another date the following evening.
Three weeks later it was Toni's turn to feel foolish. Eager to locate Ron at Christmas, she called Darling's parents' home in Worcester, Mass. "I asked for Ronnie," Toni says, "and his mother put his father [Ronnie Sr.] on the phone. I said, 'Hi, baby. I miss you so much. I'm just going out of my mind.' I kept talking and talking and I realized that he hadn't even said he missed me. So I said, 'Is this Ronnie Darling?' and he said [deep voice], 'Yes.' And I said, 'Is this [swallow]...Ronnie's father?' And he said [deep voice], 'Yes.' And it was like, 'Oh, noooooo.' " She shudders at the memory. "I'm glad I didn't say anything dirty." Last January Darling's parents were among the 30 guests at the couple's wedding in Atlantic City, N.J.
Life as a baseball wife is trying at times. First there are the fans. "We can't walk two blocks without 10 people asking for his autograph," says Toni. Last month the Darlings were on their way to lunch in Manhattan when they were chased by a pack of squealing teenage girls. "I felt like I was in an old Monkees movie," says Ron. Then there is the palpitating mail he receives—up to 50 letters a day. "I once made the mistake of reading some," says Toni. "It was unbelievable: 'I love you; I'll do anything for you, just call me.' "
Worst of all are the separations; Ron is gone for up to 15 days at a time on road trips. Before their marriage Toni turned down bookings so that she could travel with the team, but she found the numbing routine too tedious. "My life was hotels, shopping and going to games," she says, "and I was getting mad at Ronnie, saying, 'I'm never going to work again, and it's all your fault.' Finally, he said, 'You're driving me crazy, go back to work.' " Toni now models during the week and joins her husband on weekends. "He has his life and I have mine," she says, "but it gets so lonely. I just come home and watch baseball games."
The Darlings lessen the pain of separation by talking on the telephone—five or six times a day. His 4 a.m. call on July 20 was unexpected, however. "I was sound asleep," Toni remembers, "and he said, 'Hi, honey, I'm in jail.' He sounded like a little boy. I thought he was going to cry. He was so upset." Darling and three teammates had been arrested after a scuffle with the police outside a Houston nightclub. Mets second baseman Tim Teufel was trying to carry a drink out of the club when he was stopped by a bouncer. "We thought Tim was being manhandled," explains Darling, "and we were helping a fellow player whose career might be in jeopardy if he got hurt." Darling was charged with aggravated assault. He pleaded not guilty and goes to a pretrial hearing on Oct. 30. "The whole thing was blown out of proportion," says Toni. "If Ronnie has a wild streak, I've never seen it. He's always Mr. Nice Guy."
Mr. Nice Guy was born in Honolulu and raised in Worcester. From his father, a machinist, he inherited his competitive drive and from his half-Chinese mother, a low-key reserve. Studies came before sports for the four Darling boys, who were coached by their demanding father in Little League. "I was a quiet, studious kid," says Darling, "not quite a nerd, but almost."
Darling enrolled at Yale in 1978, studied Southeast Asian history and French (which he speaks, along with Mandarin Chinese) and distinguished himself on the baseball field. In 1981 he pitched the longest stretch of no-hit ball (11 innings) in NCAA tournament history. At the end of his junior year the Texas Rangers signed Darling for $150,000. "I didn't want to leave Yale," he says, "but when you come from a family with very little money, and you have a chance to make some money, not only for yourself but for your family, you take it." He was traded to the Mets a year later, where he has compiled a 43-23 record.
As a lass in Dublin, Toni O'Reilly had one objective: to get out. The second of seven children born to a utilities worker, she remembers, "When everyone in my family was watching TV, I would be in the other room making plans for the future." At 16 she left school and took a job as a receptionist. A fashion photographer discovered her the following year and launched her modeling career. At 18 she won a bit part in an American movie, S.O.S. Titanic, and moved to California. "I loved it," she says, "the weather, the food, the people. I left a place where it rained all the time and ended up in a place where everyone was having a nice day."
O'Reilly tried modeling but had little success in the land of blondes. "Agents told me I was too old, too sophisticated-looking, not pretty enough," she says. "It was like my life was over at 20." A modeling competition in 1981 brought her to New York, where she joined the Wilhelmina agency, earning up to $4,000 a day. "I don't have to work," says Toni (Darling's $440,000-a-year salary is supplemented by income from contracts with RC Cola, among others), "but it's not in my genes to be just a housewife."
Home for the Darlings is a penthouse duplex in Manhattan. On the rare occasions when they have simultaneous free days, Ron may surprise Toni with a champagne-and-lobster picnic in Central Park. Nights are spent restaurant-hopping and attending rock concerts, as well as basketball and hockey games. Their taste differs only when it comes to television. Darling is bewildered by his wife's fetish for soap operas. The Wednesday nights that she invites a dozen girlfriends to Dynasty parties chez Darling, Ron disappears "until it's safe to come home."
On days when Darling pitches, Toni prepares his lunch, hot at home or boxed to go. He gets a ride or drives his 1967 Mercedes to Shea Stadium. (Until last July he took the subway; now he is recognized too often.) As game time approaches, he begins to churn. "Up to a point, I feel like I could strike out King Kong," says Darling, "but as I get closer to the field, my legs get heavy, and I begin to think, 'God, I'm not going to get anyone out tonight.' By the time I hear the national anthem, I'm sweatin' bullets."
When this season is over, the Darlings plan to honeymoon in Australia or Japan. In the off-season, Darling will be busy with the new Lower Manhattan bistro he plans to open with three partners. He also signed a book deal to write a memoir of the 1986 season. Toni plans to continue modeling until December. She and Ron are expecting their first child next April. Darling would prefer a daughter. "I'd hate to have a son who had to try to grow up to be like me," he says. "A girl doesn't have to be a ballplayer."
"That's right," says Toni. "She can grow up to be like me."

Reviews of Oscars restaurant in Mullingar
This is probably my favourite place to eat out in Mullingar. The food is always excellent! My whole family enjoys going here. The atmosphere is also good, as is the service. If you are looking for a good meal, theres no better place to go.
Amazing Friendly staff - and we loved the food. The food arrived quickly and we were never made feel very welcome. A must for anyone dining out in Mullingar - I would 100% say Oscars is the best restaurant in Mullingar.
Myself and my husband had never been to Mullingar before and really had to take a chance on a restaurant to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Oscars caught our attention with its warm and friendly atmosphere and its cosy decor. The staff made a huge fuss of our occasion and we left feeling that we knew the place for years. Amazing service and great value. We are seldom in Ireland these days but Oscars is a real treasure and a big reason for us to visit Mullingar when we are back home in Longford.
Consistently great food and great atmosphere. Positive approach to recession with great value Early Bird Menu. Guaranteed to please all members of the family. Never fails to delight the palette.
Very nice place to eat, spacious and great service. They were very busy on the night but we had no delays with our starters or mains. Very enjoyable experience.
Visited Oscars in Mullingar Last night 26/07/2012. I had and Asparagus and Pasta starter which was really good followed by the best 8oz Sirloin steak I have had in a while cooked perfect to my liking medium rare. the service was excellent. Polite efficient yet relaxed and welcoming
My wife and I visited Oscars recently. We had a busy day visiting our two newborn grandchildren, one in Dublin and one in Mullingar. We did not have a proper meal that day and we called in to Oscars at around 9.40 not realising that that last serving was at 9.30. We were warmly welcomed and no pressure was put on us to order quickly. The meal was delicious and keenly priced and the service was 5*****.
We happened to mention that it was our wedding anniversary. So when our dessert arrived it had a sparkler, "Happy Anniversary" written on our plate and the song Congratulations playing on the PA system.
This was a lovely thought and finished our day perfectly. The service we got from when we entered till we left the restaurant was truly 5 STAR.
I certainly will visit Oscars again whenever I am in the Mullingar area again.

November is another banner month for marathons in the U.S. With crisp temps and the changing of the season, many phenomenal race times are turned in during the month of November. Here are just a few of the excellent marathons taking place in November 2011.
1. ING New York City Marathon, November 6, 2011
Another member of the World Marathon Majors, New York's marathon is an elite experience. Drawing in over 100,000 applicants each year, this historic race is huge and exciting. Elite and amateurs alike share the streets as the 26.2 miles course traverses the five boroughs that make up New York. Over 2 million fans line the course while over 315 million watch the world-wide televised event.

The event also hosts a classic car show at the finish line along with a great after party complete with a concert. The Route 66 Marathon may have the best finishers medals in the sport. Every year they seem to top the design from the previous year.

International dialling codes
The internet and email have made it much easier to keep in touch with family and friends wherever they are in the world.
But despite our increased reliance on modern communications, there may be still times when we'd like to call overseas.
Our international dialling code checker (pdf) will let you know the country code for everywhere from Australia to Zambia.
To use it simply click open up the pdf and press the Ctrl and F keys at the same time.
Then type the name of the country you're looking for into the search box to find the code you need.
So, for example, if you typed in Guatemala it would tell you that the code is 502.
Similarly, if you typed in the number 886 you'd find that this is the code for Taiwan.
Calling abroad
Telephone facts and figures
It took at least ten days to send messages between the US and Europe before the first transatlantic telegraph line was successfully laid in 1866.
The first commercial transatlantic telephone service – using radio - began in 1927 between New York and London.
It wasn't until 1963 that you could dial another country from the UK without having to go through the operator. Even then the new service only operated between London and Paris.
You couldn't direct dial the US until 1970 when International Direct Dialling was introduced between London and New York. Within a decade IDD services had been extended to cover over 90% of UK phone customers and reached more than 80 overseas countries.
If you need to ring the Vatican, the dialling code is actually the same as Italy's – 39.
Country codes are assigned by the International Telecommunications Union. The telecoms section of its website contains information about the numbering plans in different countries.
Initially countries with more telephone users such as the UK or France were given two-digit codes (44 and 33 respectively) while smaller countries like Iceland were given three digit codes.
Regularly calling abroad can be expensive but there are ways you can cut your bills.
Firstly, you should ask your phone company for information and advice on its charges for international phone calls.
If you make a lot of calls abroad, it might be worth asking if it has a specific international calling package. Typical packages will cover the cost of calls to certain destinations for a monthly fee.
However, make sure that the country or countries you want to call regularly are included in the package. Also, with some packages, only the first hour of a call is free.
International calls
If you're a BT customer, there are also a number of phone companies that offer cheaper international calls via indirect access (IA) or carrier pre-selection (CPS) services.
With these you still pay BT for your line rental, but you can choose for some or all of your calls to be routed via another phone company and you pay them for the cost of the calls.
Pre-paid calling cards also offer an alternative way of making national and international calls to a variety of destinations.
Calls are then made from any fixed line or mobile phone by dialling an access number (020, 0800, 0845, 0870 and 0871 access numbers are commonly used) and then by typing in the unique PIN number that is printed on the back of the calling card.
VoIP calls
If you have an internet connection you can also use VoIP - or more precisely Voice over Internet Protocol – which allows you to make phone calls over the web.
You can make calls from PC to PC – which are usually free - or you can use VoIP to call a traditional landline or mobile.
You'll need a headphone and microphone – or dedicated VoIP handset - which you plug into your PC or you can plug in a traditional home phone using a VoIP adapter.
You can also use the built in microphone and speakers in many computers, particularly laptops. You then download the required software from your chosen VoIP provider, although you should check that it is compatible with your computer.
There are different types of call plan so it's good to shop around and do your research beforehand, taking into account how you want to use the service.
Calling from abroad
We've also got advice on keeping your bills down when ringing home from abroad.
You can check out our 'Ask Ofcom a question' facility on the top right-hand corner of the home page. It contains answers about using your mobile on holiday, texting whilst abroad, charges for international data roaming servicesand who pays when you receive a call overseas.
Why not also watch our advice video on using your mobile abroad. It gives tips on what you need to consider before you travel, as well as advice on using mobile phones and downloading data abroad.

Clothing Your Kids Challenge Day 14: Get the Sporty Look!
Back in the day kids had a set of clothes for school and a different set of clothes for play. These days the athletic look is versatile for both school and play. A stylish tracksuit, cute leggings, or comfy yoga pants can be worn to practice or the classroom! Today's challenge is to help your kids get the sporty look!
Do you expect your kids to dress differently for school and play or do you prefer clothes they can wear for both? Do they tend to have a certain style like preppy, dressy, or sporty?
If you missed yesterday's activity, you can find it here. If you haven't signed up for the Clothing Your Kids Challenge yet, you can do so here!
I have school and nice clothes then play clothes.
I use anything with small tears and stains for outside play. Any other time they're in "school" clothes.
The kids wear most of their clothes any time they want. There are a few I save for nice
Quoting Bob192:
They wear pretty much the same clothes, unless they are dressed up for a special occasion. They play hard at school too, so they usually come home already dirty!
So do mine, especially my son. He plays sports at school all the time and usually comes home covered in dirt and grass stains
My dd basically wears the same clothes all the time. She doesn't really have a style yet.

Ducks, Red Wings welcome extra day off
After playing four postseason games in seven days, the Ducks and Red Wings will gladly take an extra day off between games.
The Ducks left Friday for Detroit and used it strictly as a travel day. They will practice Saturday before Game 5 on Sunday at Joe Louis Arena.
The teams had two days off in between Games 1 and 2 in Detroit, but there was a short turnaround after a triple overtime Game 2, and the intensity of playoff hockey can take a toll.
"It helps us to clean our mind a little mind a little bit," Ducks goaltender Jonas Hiller said. "It's going to be a travel day, a day to recover. We'll definitely use it. But you've got to be ready on Sunday."
The Ducks and Red Wings will have the extra day to rest whatever injuries they are recovering from or playing through.
The Ducks are without defenseman James Wisniewski, who suffered a lung contusion in Game 3 and raised the possibility of coming back on Sunday. Detroit's Brian Rafalski and Kris Draper have been out with undisclosed upper-body injuries, Tomas Kopecky was to get an X-ray and CAT scan for taking a hit to the head in a fight with Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin.
Detroit coach Mike Babcock said earlier in the series that he had hoped to tire out Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf, who will get some rest from an illness, but Babcock said the break will nullify that strategy.
"The first two games I thought we might get to a position like that (to tire Getzlaf) but everyone gets two days off now," Babcock said. "They're in good shape."
Mentally, both teams will reset for what is now a best-of-three series. Game 6 will be at Honda Center on Tuesday. If necessary, Game 7 is at Detroit on Thursday.
"I think it will do us some good," goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere said. "I think (Thursday night) we were a little mentally tired. We can push ourselves to the level we need to be to win a game against Babcock. (Friday's) going to be a good day to just kick back."

Skip to comments.National Review Online: Cheney Resigning Tomorrow?
Posted on 01/31/2006 12:36:24 PM PST by West Coast Conservative
...that Cheney is resigning tomorrow. Remember: I said psycho.
FYI - It got pulled once already....
Funny I haven't seen this going around on any of the blogs - just in National Review.
Rice needs some experience before 2008. ;)
I have a bridge for sale.
Maybe Chuck Norris will get the nod.
And how is that supposed to benefit Halliburton?
has Jack Bauer been informed?
If a lot of liberals start dying of round house kicks, we'll know.
Do it NOW!!!
Just for the liberal response alone, this would be priceless.
Cheney in for Stevens on the USSC before June...
(hey, we can dream can't we?)
|To be replaced by Temple basketball coach, John Cheney...
I wasn't aware that George Allen was interested in keeping her on at the State dept.
I think this is how the DUmmies have viewed the VP anyway.
I know its not spelled that way, and I'm sure he's dead too. Work with me here folks!
|Compromise...Lon Chaney, Jr.
His hair was perfect.
I'd like to meet his tailor.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh...
I think Guliani would be a better replacement.
The majority of folks in the U.S. will not vote a black person to the Presidency.
And Mike Pence isn't going to be in the race, so I will wholeheartedly support conservative George Allen of Virginia.
Is Podhoretz the only one shopping this rumor? I haven't seen it anywhere else.
FYI..take a look at the front page of today's Washington Times...Big pic of Condi..she looks fierce, proud, determined...and tired..you can see the strain in her face..
This started on a super far left blog a few days ago, it had a Condi as VP and Cheney connected to Abramoff angle.
I don't remember which one since it was my first time on that particular blog, and it was a link from a link from a link from a link on instapundit's blogroll. Heh, that's real useful info there.
In that light, people wouldn't elect a Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, but they would elect a Colin Powell or a Rod Paige.
It does seem wildly implausible.
I agree most Americans wouldn't vote for a Black President,but they are mostly Democrats.I have no use for Allen or Rice.Both are moderates in my book.What has either ever done for the conservative movement?
I wouldn't give up on Mike Pence.I can imagine several scenarios where he will run.We already know he doesn't consider Allen or the rest conservative.If we the people MAKE PEnce run, then he will run.
We do not want the far left wing Rudy, who is a gun grabber, for the murder of unborn children and loves queer marriage.
I wish!
Giuliani may have some ideas that are par for the course in New York but don't go well in Texas. However, he isn't the type who would try to push them on the whole country.
This is a man who totally understands the war on terror and he is tougher than the skin on Molly Ivins' behind. We'd be lucky to have him.
I'm of the opinion, cchandler, that America is very much a racist country.
And I'm equally vehement in my opinion that as God is further ostracized from society, things will not improve.
Rice would definitely win both the Red and Blue areas of Illinois in both the primary and general.
The support (as with any winner) is a combination of many reasons including charisma, the image of a straight shooter, competence, experience, ideology, race, gender... but those last 2 are last. Remember that IL Sen Carole Mosley-Braun ran for president and got no support. So it isn't just race or gender.
The candidate who cannot put together a combination of supporters motivated for totally different reasons is a big L loser.
But unlike others who say "I'm not a candidate AT THIS TIME". Rice says a flat NO! with no weasel words to use later. Her lack of weasel words is precisely why many of her backers like her.
Rice is no moderate when it comes to the second ammendment, her opinion of communism, foreign policy or defense. So I presume you base your assumption on some other topic, perhaps a single issue?

Our study was conducted in a multiethnic urban cohort of New York City, which is unlikely to strictly consume the foods typical of Mediterranean countries. Therefore, and given the ethnic, geographic, and cultural differences in attitude toward olive oil consumption, it is not unexpected that the ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in our population was significantly lower as compared with that of Mediterranean populations. It is certainly possible that even higher ratios that exceed certain thresholds (such as the ones seen in Mediterranean populations) may have even more beneficial effects in cognition, but that does not negate the benefit of a Mediterranean-type diet in our cohort.

My son is 14, and still hasn't really started to develop any facial hair yet. I know he feels very self-conscious about it, since all of his friends have it. Is this normal? And what do I say to make him feel better?
- Jackson
Puberty brings about so many changes, it's easy for kids to feel insecure about it. Acne, mood changes, growth spurts, and hormonal changes — it's all part of growing up and everyone goes through it, but not always at the same pace. Ideally, as a parent, you've already started talking to your son about the changes teens go through as they grow.
On average, boys begin going through puberty a little later than girls, usually around age 11 or 12. But different kids develop at different rates — starting anywhere between ages 9 and 14 is normal, so it's natural for your son to feel behind the curve.
If he continues to have questions or concerns about puberty and development that you can't answer, a visit to his doctor may help reassure him.

There's no doubt that Ford (NYSE: F ) has had great success with its turnaround in North America. The company is still losing billions in Europe, but now there are subtle signs that a turnaround is taking hold there as well -- thanks to the same approach that made Ford a winner at home.
In this video, Fool contributor (and Ford shareholder) John Rosevear points out the emerging signs of a Ford revival in Europe -- and explains why that revival is likely to give Ford's stock a big boost in the near future.
A potential turnaround in Europe is just one of several good reasons to think that Ford still has big growth opportunities ahead.

Reviews summary
Who says basic flip phones have to be ugly ducklings?
The LG 221C is an affordable but attractive phone that works with CDMA networks and supports EV-DO data. There's nothing extraordinary or unique about it, and that's probably a good thing. Long-time flip phone users will feel right at home and those who are new to flip phones will find it pretty easy to master in a short amount of time as well.
Its biggest strength is its design. It definitely doesn't look as boring or as unappealing as other flip phones that you can find on the market right now. Add to that the fact that it has all the basic phone features you could ask for—which include a standard alphanumeric keypad, a 1000-entry phone book, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, external speakers, and a standard headphone jack—and you've got yourself a truly attractive flip phone.
Need to Know: LG 221C
1. Stylishly designed case. (The Good)
2. Compact form factor. (The Good)
3. Short battery life (only 3 hours of talk time per charge). (The Bad)
4. Slightly more expensive than the typical basic flip phone. (The Bad)
Specs summary
The phone runs on the Other operating system (OS).
Internal memory is No. No external card slot is available for expansion.
The phone is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. LG's performance ratings are 12.5 days standby time, 180 minutes (2G).

Ratings for Dr. Ghassan Wahbeh
Dr. Wahbeh is one of my doctor's and he is certainly one of the best pediatric doctors I have ever encountered. I am 15 and when I had to get a "procedure" done last year for my Crohn's, he made me feel very calm, sure, and comfoftable with the whole thing, which can be hard for a 14 year old :-) He treats me like a person, not a robot, and he fully understands how I am feeling about my disease. He has also suggested simple at-home treatments for me to try that have worked wondefully.
I just met Dr Wahbeh this past week. He is now my son's GI Doc. He is great. Obviously, he is very knowledgeable in term of GI Pediatrics but his bedside manner is superb. He is very friendly and explains everything. I left feeling my son is in good hands!
Dr. Wahbeh is great. He is very knowledgeable about pediatric gastroenterology. He explains labs, meds, test with pt. and this mother. He answers all your questions. He has a calm, reassuring bedside manner. His staff is very helpful when you call with a question. My son likes him and is very comfortable with him, even when the conversation is about bowels.

Within the last few years, a number of workers in the field of medicine have expressed dissatisfaction with the methods commonly used in determining the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. They have pointed out not only that the different types of hemoglobinometer use different values of concentration of hemoglobin for 100 per cent on the scale, but also that the methods themselves are for the most part not sufficiently accurate for use in diagnosis. Of these two objectionable features, the latter is, of course, by far the more serious. The confusion and misunderstanding caused by dissimilar scale values can be avoided simply by the adoption of a uniform method of reporting hemoglobin, as recommended recently by Lindsay, Rice and Selinger;1 but if the method itself is not sufficiently accurate, errors in diagnosis are unavoidable.
In order to obtain some idea concerning the accuracy

In 2004 and 2005, Todd Berry was the offensive coordinator at Louisiana-Monroe. He left the school and went off to coach elsewhere, returning last season as the Warhawks' head coach. Upon his return, he said he discovered the competition in the Sun Belt Conference had greatly improved in a variety of ways.
"I think it's a lot different," Berry said of the league Monday night prior to serving as guest speaker at the New Horizons Credit Union-1st and 10 Club meeting at Heron Lakes Country Club. "A lot of programs invested pretty heavily in facilities and coaches and that type of thing. The quality of play is up and there's really not that much difference between anybody in this league."
Berry led a young team to a 5-7 record a year ago. This season, the Warhawks are 3-8 with one game remaining.
"I thought we were going to be competitive this year and we were," he said. "The thing that's been interesting for us this year has been all the injuries.
"When we were healthy, as we were against Troy and we were against Middle (Tennessee State), we've been pretty good. The TCU game this year really blew us up; we lost a lot of players against TCU for whatever reason. It was a real competitive game but that impacted us pretty deeply. We're not a deep enough team yet."
Next season, ULM is one of eight Sun Belt teams that will play South Alabama.
"I talked with (Texas-San Antonio coach) Larry Coker, who's a really, really good friend of mine," Berry said. "We talked about (South Alabama). I think they'll be competitive when they come in. The toughest part is that in this league there's not one of those games where you can say, 'We've got a break this week.' In most conferences there are a few of those. You have to stay on an emotional high every week."
Arkansas State will be the Sun Belt representative in this season's GoDaddy.com Bowl at Ladd-Peebles Stadium on Jan. 8 against a Mid-American Conference foe.
"They've got some good skill people on offense. Our game against them came down to them blocking a punt at the end or else we win the game," he said.
Michaela Merold of Spanish Fort and Fairhope's Carly McRae were recognized as the students of the week. Vigor's Marlon Moore (de fense) and UMS-Wright's Hamilton Philips (offense) were recognized as the athletes of the week.

The trend by Islamic extremists to utilize the Internet, particularly via websites, as a way to communicate, coordinate and to raise funds, continues a year after 9/11. The practice of Islamic extremist groups to turn the openness and instantaneous nature of communications on the Internet to their advantage is shown by the number, variety and depth of the sites dedicated to assisting these groups in their cause. While some of the websites have folded or been taken down, new ones, such as stopamerica.org (whose administrator has been indicted as a possible Al-Qaeda agent) have blossomed, carrying similar messages of hate and destruction. The existing sites maintained by Islamic extremists have continued to act as central nodes of disseminating propaganda, messaging among members and fundraising.
The Internet allows groups that are spread across the globe to quickly and efficiently get messages out to adherents; and the use of cryptography and other privacy tools allows groups to do so covertly. Because access to the Internet is so fast, cheap and flexible, the complexity of deciphering and tracking covert operations is compounded by the ease with which sites become known and shared; and can then be folded and restarted under different names using different addresses. The techniques and diverse means to keep messages and information hidden online are a practice that these groups will continue to improve upon and refine in the future. Because a troubling web site is gone, doesn't mean that Jihad has been abandoned. On the contrary, constant monitoring is required to track and trace the war that's been declared on the non-Islamic world in both the electronic and real world.

Double Watermelon Saladccampion
Usually when my kids hear the word "salad" they run for the hills (a reaction I try not to get too upset about because I'm pretty sure I didn't eat a salad until after I had my driver's license). I'm always trying to find clever ways to slowly introduce the wonders of a tangled mess of greens, slivered carrots, sliced cucumbers, maybe a little goat cheese, and a tart vinaigrette. I even lavished praise on a 3-year old neighborhood friend who ate lettuce by the fistful when we went out for dinner one night: "Just look at him go!".
That earned me the crooked-eye and not even a nibble.
So I've decided to go with another tactic—take two items they love (watermelon and cheese) and combine them for a classic salad that may just be odd enough to intrigue them. Chilled cubes of watermelon topped with crumbled feta cheese and then drizzled with a sweet-tart watermelon juice vinaigrette. How can they resist?
Who know who was the first person to think that watermelon and feta would go well together, but they do.
And this dressing is a recipe I found in a copy of Best Recipes of 2003, which originally ran in Oprah magazine.
If you want to take the salad a step further into greener territory you can also add arugula.
With or without the lettuce you can always tell any skeptical eaters that you're having dessert for the salad course and the taste of this sweet, tangy, salty, creamy dish will do the rest.
Recipe for Watemelon Dressing and Salad
-You will need 1 cup of fresh watermelon juice which you can either get from putting about 1 1/2 cups in a blender and then straining it into a measuring cup, or: I store my watermelon in a large tupperware container with a catch on the bottom so I can just pour the juice directly without having to put in the blender.
-Take the white part only of one scallion and cut it thinly.
-Saute scallion in a saucepan with 1 tsp of olive oil over medium heat until softened.
-Pour in the 1 cup of reserved watermelon juice and 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and reduce to about 3 tabespoons (about 20 minutes).
-Take vinegar mixture off of heat and cool.
-Once it's cooled whisk in another 1/4 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
For Salad:
-Pile several cubes of chilled watermelon on a plate. Top with a crumble of feta cheese and then drizzle with dressing.

Obama's Address to the Nation: More Idiotic Energy Policy 1 comment
President Obama used his first Oval Office address to reinforce the fact that he simply doesn't have a clue about energy policy. Once again, framing himself as environmentally friendly, he preaches for "clean energy" and the need to electrify our cars. Of course everyone knows these cars must be recharged, and guess what will be consumed to recharge them: COAL. Obama continually tells us the need to move away from fossil fuels while at the same time designing energy policies which will increase our consumption of the dirtiest of them all! Obama and Chu are bought and paid for by coal interests. Name another Nobel Prize winning physicist that believes in the oxymoronic myth of "clean coal". You can't do it. Why? Because most high-school students recognize "clean coal" for what it is: a fairy tale.

Meantime, the most abundant, clean, and cheap of all fuels (natural gas) is completely ignored by the supposed environmentalist. What a tragedy. It's a tragedy that both Ford and GM make NGVs but don't sell them in America. It is a tragedy that Fuel Systems Solutions (NASDAQ:FSYS) builds its natural gas home refueling appliance in Italy instead of America. It's a tragedy that America sends it energy wealth to Arab oil producers and funds both sides of the war on terror. It's a tragedy that this country will not reach its potential because of greedy, incompetent, and corrupt politicians.
Making matters worse is Obama's response to the Gulf oil spill. Instead of realizing the BP's well was a huge departure from the norm in terms of well design and management, the Obama administration has apparently painted all oil companies with the same broad brush. The first negative result of his wrong-head moratorium are the canceling of deep-water rig contracts. StatOil (NYSE:STO) is the latest to terminate two contracts (Transocean and Maersk rigs). Higher unemployment rates will follow next. And finally, the U.S. will be further de-industrialized and our dependence on foreign oil will grow. Combined with the idiotic energy policy pushed last night on national TV, one begins to wonder if the conspiracy theory might have some truth to it. After all, it was the Obama administration that appointed a former BP exec to the MMS. And it was the Obama administration that has dragged its feet on the oil spill response. All a big conspiracy to push his supposed "clean energy" agenda down our throats?
But what kind of clean energy "policy" is Obama designing when his policies:
1) increases coal consumption
2) increases our dependence on foreign oil?
This is not "policy", this is insanity. We've all been betrayed. Despite the two largest coal and oil environmental disasters in U.S. history (the Kingston, TN coal fly-ash spill and the Horizon disaster), our supposedly super smart environmentally friendly President hasn't learned anything. He is making everything worse. I could not design a worse energy policy if I sat down and tried. Of course, what can we expect from a President whose administration turned down the Dutch offer to supply supertankers designed to surround the leaking oil rig and suck the oil out of the water before it reached shore? Obama has lost all credibility. He is not concerned with the environment nor the American middle class. He is continuing, and expanding, the U.S. government's objective of weakening the middle class and the country's economic future.
Not one to complain without offering solutions, here is a strategic long-term comprehensive energy policy:
that would leverage America's abundant, clean, and cheap natural gas reserves to:
1) reduce foreign oil imports
2) keep American energy dollars in the U.S. by leveraging natural gas transportation
3) re-industrialize the country by creating jobs in the auto, energy, and industrial sectors
4) greatly reduce CO2 and toxic particulate emissions by replacing coal and oil consumption with cleaner and cheaper natural gas
5) usher in an era of prosperity most Americans have, at this point, given up on
6) allow us to reduce our imperialistic military policy and spend our wealth in our own country for our own people
7) allow us to balance our budget and maintain our standard of living
For American investors, all this means higher oil prices and harder economic times. It is time to get out of all broad S&P500 investments and into energy stocks and precious metals. A few suggestions: Conoco Philips (NYSE:COP), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Petrobras (NYSE:PBR), StatOil (STO), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Murphy Oil (NYSE:MUR) and Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU). Buy on market weakness and rely on the fact that long-term oil prices are going higher. Much higher.

In just a few weeks from now, RIM is about to embark in a new chapter in its storied history. As we all know, they're going to be having a press event where they'll unveil some of the upcoming new devices running on the totally new BlackBerry 10 platform, which as we all know, has a...

Looked good up until I saw the stupid charging port on the SIDE of the phone. What is this, 2010?
And the screen is nothing compared to retina and HD screens, judging from these pictures.
I was looking forward to this phone, but not anymore.
31. itguyinto (Posts: 6; Member since: 18 Nov 2012)
The screen is 355 dpi, iPhone 5 is 325 dpi ... So ya ...
32. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
What's wrong with that?? Seriously dude. Not everyone wants their charging port at the phone's Arrrrssseee.

RIM is a thief
It ask for shady developer to steal from Android market and post the pirated apps to their apps market
RIM will RIP this year.

You are stupid.
RIM doesn't ask developers to port to their platform, developers just do what they want...
3. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
It looks so bland. It might be popular in corporate America, but consumer America will ignore this device. Perhaps other countries will take a liking to it but to me its boring.

I looks more boring than Symbian ....Ubuntu has a change i think ,their UI & gestures are a real good looking
5. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Interface looks boring but I already love that work/personal feature!
6. shamataa (Posts: 215; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
What a boring OS. Why buy this when you have upcoming phones from CES and other individual events later on that will have 1080 p displays and at lest a quad core or in Samsung's case a Octa Processor later on?. That is such a big waste of money and time. Its not going to go anywhere!. The guy calls it the best of almost everything?. Like really dude it hasn't even out yet and u r claiming it's the best already?. Do your research before you say false info to the people. ITS NOT. I can tell already.
8. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
Agreed, rim is always one step behind,
Why waste money for this sh*t when 8 core smartphones and flexible displays are coming?
This phone is too 2012-ish
13. IHateApple (banned) (Posts: 122; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Both of you guys are an idiot.
Flexible Displays are coming. When? 2014 at the ""latest"". And when they'll come, they will cost over a grand. And very few people are going to buy it.
8 core smartphone?? I LAUGH at you ignorance. It is a quad core smart phone. There are two quad core groups and you can't use both groups together.
And you guys can almost forget about 8 core smartphones coming to US. You are only going to get Snapdragon 800's in your phones.
And if you still call it 8 Cores, then you should call Tegra 3 and Tegra 4 Penta Core SoC's and not Quad Core SoC's.
And tell me one thing. You guys act like Android was never one step behind. Go back to 2009, Android was nothing compared to RIM. Now that Android has grown, you guys act like worshipers of Android.
Learn to change.
23. naptown2 (Posts: 70; Member since: 29 Dec 2012)
well said
27. bvalde09 (Posts: 181; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
If I could give more thumbs up I will.
I mean I love the tech that is coming (Flexible Screen) however most user will not see the benefit of the quadcore nor 8 Core.
I consider myself a heavy user since my phone is mostly used for work but Im happy with a dual core and 2GB Ram. Im not a RIM Fan but for the first time I could feel that they have put some tech behind the phone. I would love to see what else is coming from them
29. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Much agreed, but one thing; sure you can go back to 2009 when Android was in its infancy. But here in 2013 Blackberry has been around for give or take 10 years. If RIM can't get it right now, they never will. And judging from the pictures, there is NOTHING to brag about in this phone.
36. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
is there truly something to brag about in android phones compared to this one? cuz once this is released it will be the best and most powerful phone on the market
40. verty (Posts: 122; Member since: 07 May 2012)
You said it all. Some people are jus dumb and talk from their ass!
7. uchihakurtz (Posts: 367; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Typing seems like it's gonna be good but the gestures might become confusing to some people... Can't wait to play with it :D
9. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
Rim..your gonna die, people are not stupid , they won't waste their $$$ for this crap because 8 core smartphones with flexible displays are coming
Rim should have announced this phone in mid 2012, but now the industry has changed
11. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Its a 4+4 core smartphones, it never uses all four cores at any given time, hence a little.big architecture. Either way only time will tell, but they wasted too much time and lost steam not to mention people will be seriously confused on how to operate these devices
33. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
I suppose that tombstone as your profile pic must be for you. Not for RIM.
Haters, gonna hate....lalalalalalalalala~
37. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
I am and so will millions of people as u watch them enjoy the bb...u will be on your played out android/iphone. this is something new....even android looks boring now to me
41. verty (Posts: 122; Member since: 07 May 2012)
You are actually the most senseless CLOWN on PA.
44. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
No just wanted to shut u up and others who have sensless negativity to splatter here...do i go around on feeds about android or iphone to talk BS NO!!! get a life
10. Starscream9 (Posts: 10; Member since: 11 Jan 2013)
Well Rim did bring some innovative things....BB 10 phones will really attract people that work.
12. platformwars (Posts: 86; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
Contrary to most of the comments here.. i actually found BB10 to be a nice OS.. Ive been on Android for the past 2 years and absolutely love it.. but Windows 8 and BB10 are exciting developments for the mobile world.. if BB10 can be a success (i think it will be a moderate one atleast).. it is going to push Anroid and Ios to do better.. It basically has small windows of the open applications and then the grid for all the installed applications.. Kind of reminds me of windows 3.11... i think that most of these so called exclusive features will be on android or Ios in the form of separate applications very soon.
14. IHateApple (banned) (Posts: 122; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
And don't forget Android apps support.
15. Techsplash (Posts: 41; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
it's amazing.
16. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
It's quite nice actually. A lot better than lagdroid, which will have about 5% market share in a couple of years.
30. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
You want to know a funny fact? Most people that claim that Android is laggy or like you like to call it "lagdroid" are people that don't have Android phones or bought a Galaxy Y. I speak for my experience a lot of the phones i have seen that are on 4.1 are all smooth.
18. chezy (Posts: 20; Member since: 29 Dec 2012)
well to my knowledge the world is full of individuals that have different wants and needs.
just because some of you want 1080p 5 inch phones doesn't mean everyone else wants it as well.
so don't try to forces your wants and needs onto the next person who has different preferences to yours.
also this whole thing about having +700 000 apps in an app store is kind of pointless seeing as most are crap anyway.
19. homersimpsons (Posts: 16; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
It doesn't look half bad. It will likely appeal to Business Users who are BlackBerry's bread-and-butter. Messaging has always been key for RIM and this OS looks to be doing it well.
It is certainly on par with iOS/iPhone which has grown completely stale over the course of the years with its boring and unchanging interface.
Android is still leading in innovation IMHO though...
20. MaineMan91 (Posts: 25; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
software looks lame
21. Armor (Posts: 52; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Very exciting os. The phone does not need all of those cores. The os is so efficient it does not need it. If you want to see a lame os at work check out ios or android. Blackberry 10 and windows 8 phone have the latest os's with the newest features. Go RIM Go.
22. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
I agree, there's more to Mobile OS's than IOS and Android. BB10 and WP8 are great alternatives, the BB Playbook has served me well with constant updates and browsing second to none. my only complaint are checkerboarding but hopefully by the BB10 is released, all of these minute bugs will be ironed out. The OS itself looks very fluid, smooth and intuitive to use and the handset itself looks quality as always from Blackberry.
26. phljcnth (Posts: 485; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I don't know. With all the beefy Androids coming this 2013, this will easily be disregarded. Blackberry's lost much too many users already. Too late BB.
34. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
I will be the FIRST to say I don't use Blackberry NEVER WILL. But I applaud what they have done here to blackberry 10 it's a wonderful blend. They incorporated a little bit of everybody into this one keyboard looks excellent kinda like android, just the overall fluidity looks pretty excellent. This will appear on T-Mobile, Verizon, and At&t and I think it will sell pretty well. This bring Blackberry back some and that's great to see....
38. aco96 (Posts: 240; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
BB OS 10 looks like combination of all OS- es :D

Multitasking tiles are a complete rip-off of Meego's.
It's got a lot of features though, useless ones.

Camera RAW Update 4.02 adds CoolPix P7700, Sony NEX-6, more
Our favorite Cupertino, California-based fruit company puts out digital camera RAW updates with regularity, which is a good thing for Mac fans with new cameras. For Mac heads sans cash, it's just a regular reminder that another camera generation has arrived, but not for the rest of us — woe betides… Golly, the Sony Alpha NEX-6 is kinda neat.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.02, download
— This update adds RAW image compatibility for the following cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11: Nikon COOLPIX P7700, Olympus PEN E-PL5, Olympus PEN E-PM2, Olympus STYLUS XZ-2, Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH3, Sony Alpha NEX-5R, Sony Alpha NEX-6 and Sony Alpha SLT-A99.
And, for what it's worth, Amazon has the Sony NEX-6L/B 16.1 MP Compact Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 16-50mm Power Zoom Lens and 3-Inch LED (Black) for the low, low price of $998.
A guy can dream…

It's like a scary movie: Just when you think the creature is finally dead, he rears his ugly head again. This monster is the poaching of African elephants for their tusks, and the details are both horrific and heartbreaking.
Until fairly recently, it seemed as though this problem had been stabilized. An international ban on the ivory trade in 1989, and an effective awareness campaign, highlighted by Kenya's burning of confiscated ivory stocks, helped stem the slaughter and diminish demand for ivory.
This came at the end of a bloody decade that saw an elephant poached every 10 minutes; over 50,000 per year, claiming more than two thirds of Africa's wild elephants.
Less than a decade later, the progress was reversed by a seriously misinformed decision. The Convention on the Illegal Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) caved to pressure from Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia and allowed these governments a one time, "experimental," sale of 50 tons of stockpiled ivory to a single customer, Japan.
The justification was that saturating the market with that much ivory would so increase the supply that the prices would decline as demand was met. Thus, taking the incentive out of poaching. The experiment failed miserably.
Elephant range states, including Kenya, worried that China was emerging as a major market for poached ivory. The findings of a 2002 Environmental Investigation Agency report supported those concerns.
That year, China itself warned that the Japan experiment had confused consumers into believing that trade in ivory had resumed, and it was now OK to purchase it. This sentiment did not last long. By 2008 China, with newfound wealth and an insatiable consumer culture, wanted in.
They petitioned CITES to become approved ivory buyers, and joined in the bidding in 2008 for a second sale. This time it was a stockpile of 102 tons of ivory from the previous three countries and South Africa.
The consequence has been devastating. Like a drug dealer, supplying just enough to get you hooked, CITES-sanctioned sales have placed ivory front and center as a status object, stoking global demand beyond what the ivory on all the remaining elephants could even come close to meeting. China is still expanding its ivory-carving factories.
The African elephant population is currently approximately 350,000 to 400,000. Conservative estimates are of 35,000 elephants poached per year, but most agree that the numbers probably exceed 50,000. Killing on that scale requires mechanization and unimaginable cruelty.
The trade in ivory is estimated at $7 billion to $10 billion annually. The rifle has been replaced with AK-47s, rocket propelled grenades and helicopter gunships. Nails are placed on elephant paths. When the elephants cannot walk, they are shot. Entire herds are machine gunned or poisoned.
This summer, a herd of 91 elephants in Zimbabwe was killed when their watering hole was laced with cyanide. Scores of other animals including lions, hyenas, and vultures were also killed.
Why should we care?
Elephants are not only the largest land animal, they are among the most intelligent, maybe our closest match. Research has shown that they are capable of expressing complex thoughts using a common language of intricate acoustics, including infrasound, which projects over many miles.
Elephants form strong family units. These beautiful, magnificent creatures which mourn their lost family members, demonstrate compassion, loyalty and long memories. They embody all the qualities we love and respect in people.
They are the symbol of sub-Saharan Africa. They hold a special place in our imaginations, and our world would be seriously diminished if they were destroyed for no better reason than to provide trinkets and decorations.
Like ours, elephant society depends upon the guidance of elders. In times of drought, the matriarchs know where to go for food and water. The selective extermination of older elephants, which have the largest tusks, has created a knowledge gap. This has doubled the mortality rate of calves in times of drought and wrought havoc on their social order.
The dense forests of Central Africa depend upon elephants for seed dispersal. These forests among our most important tools in managing climate change. Many other species depend upon the water holes they dig and the clearings and trails they create. Elephants play a critical role in many ecosystems.
Illegal ivory funds terrorist groups such as al Shabaab, an affiliate of al-Qaida. Its estimated that 40 percent of their revenue, $200,000 to $600,000 per month, comes from illegal ivory.
The war is on, and it is a war. In Nairobi, The Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/ has seen its numbers swell with baby elephants, orphans of poaching. But the frontline rangers protecting the elephants on the ground are being killed in numbers, making orphans of their children as well.
The Clinton Global Initiative has just announced an $80 million commitment to action to stop the slaughter. The Wildlife Conservation Society has announced plans to support the global initiative with its campaign called, "96 Elephants," named for the number of elephants killed each day for their ivory. The campaign hopes to combine the collective influence of average citizens, activists and world leaders to directly protect elephant populations and reduce global demand.
China is now the world's top consumer of illegal ivory, by far. Don't cast a stone quite yet. The United States is the world's second largest ivory market, with a significant amount of this being illegally imported from China. We are complicit in the carnage.
The engine of this genocide is demand for ivory. The only solution is a "Just say no" approach. The legal ivory trade creates loopholes for the illegal trade and sends the wrong message to the world. The U.S. and the world must impose a ban on all ivory trade. Just as one would not knowingly wear the products of child labor, one cannot buy or display ivory.
What can you do?
Go to www.96elephants.org/. Get informed. Get involved. Spread the word. To be informed about ivory is to abhor it. How can an item, stripped from, and at the cost of, such a wondrous animal; so costly to our ecosystems, supportive of terrorism and born of cruelty and greed, be considered beautiful?
Yet, walk into almost any antique store, or go online, and you won't have to look long to find it. It's "pre-ban" or antique, you will be told. Don't accept that. It's mere presence says some ivory is OK, and the legal trade provides cover for the illegal trade. The goal is to stop the demand, stop the killing and stop the trafficking.
The U.S. must lead the world by example by imposing a total ban on the ivory trade.

Motorized recreation in Indiana includes both snowmobiling and off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation. Geography and weather separate the two programs, but they have much in common. Both programs are:
As of January 2014, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) handles all snowmobile and ORV registrations. IC 14-16-1 requires that all snowmobile and ORVs purchased after December 31, 2003 be registered; only a few exceptions apply.
At this time, out-of-state ORVs must register through the Indiana BMV if not registered in their home state. Registration must include 1) a registration number specific to the ORV, 2) owner name & address, 3) ORV year, 4) manufacturer, 5) make, 6) model, and 7) VIN. A trail permit is not a registration. Out-of-state owners will have to apply in-person at a Indiana BMV branch.
IC 9-17-2 states an ORV must obtain a certificate of title. This is the same process as getting a title for your car or boat and is done through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). While not required for snowmobiles at this time, it's highly encouraged.

The European Academy of Optometry and Optics has announced an election to fill two vacant spaces on the Board of Trustees, and is calling for nominations from members who wish to be in the running for either post.
One of the posts is to be filled by a representative of an education organisation that is a member of the Academy, while the other will be filled by an individual practitioner. Both posts are for a three year term until 2015.
Nominees must be members of the Academy, or become members before 15 March 2012.
The Academy's Board of Trustees ensure that the organisation continues to work towards its goal of supporting the harmonisation of standards and practise in optometry and optics across Europe.
Professor Roger Crelier, President of the Academy, said: "I look forward to receiving nominations from members who want to bring their personal knowledge and experience to the Academy's Board."
Nominations must be returned to the Academy by Friday 10 February 2012.
Following the closing date, ballot papers will be emailed to all Academy members. The election results will be announced at the Academy's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday 21 April 2012.
Full details of the elections are available online at www.eaoo.info/election2012

Are you new to the Web?
It's OK; you can admit it to Rosie. RosieKnows.com offers free tutorials that show beginners how to navigate various Web sites, including travel sites such as SeatGuru.com and FlightStats.com.
What's hot: You don't have to ask your friends to come over and show you how to use a Web site again. The easy-to-follow videos are short, show you how to use the key features of a Web site and, most important, the woman's voice on the videos is tolerable.
Her instructions are simple without being condescending. Learn how to use TripAdvisor, Google Maps, Gas Buddy, Yelp and more.
Note that the travel section doesn't list all the travel videos it has. I found a tutorial for Kayak just by typing its name in the search bar found in the upper right-hand section of the RosieKnows home page.
Orbitz, Priceline and Expedia did not have videos on their sites when I checked.The best way to look for videos is through the "Browse All" section, where they are listed alphabetically.
What's not: It's tough to know how current the videos are. It features Farecast as its first listing for the Travel category, but Farecast.com has become a part of Bing Travel.
Rosie should remove the Farecast video until she can offer a walk-through of Bing. It would be helpful if users could leave comments and offer tips to rookie Web surfers.

"I'm sorry for what happened. When I look back at it, I wish I had never done it and it will never happen again," Dr. Michael Kamrava said Thursday, wiping away tears, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Kamrava, the Beverly Hills fertility doctor who implanted 12 embryos into Suleman, testified in his own defense in an administrative court in Los Angeles this week for the right to keep his medical license.
State officials say his notes show he implanted at least twice as many embryos as Suleman has claimed. Officials allege this is evidence of unreasonable judgment, substandard care, and a lack of concern for the eight children she would conceive and the six she was already struggling to raise.
Kamrava should instead have sent the unemployed 33-year-old single mom for a mental health evaluation, officials say.
In his testimony, Kamrava has moved away from his previous statements. Last year, he defended his actions in a Nightline interview that Suleman's case "was done the right way ... under the circumstances."

Casa Sauza XA tequila has been given a new design thanks to British design house Studio Davis in collaboration with Osborne Pike.
The new bottle has been created to celebrate the craftsmanship of the brand and the result is the kind of bottle and display box you would expect from a premium cognac or whisky brand.
Design features include a cork stopper with metallic top, straps with buckles emblazoned with the XA logo, a blue agave image, and the cockerel motif is used as a backdrop inside the presentation box.
All in all, four key design themes have been used to celebrate the Casa Sauza XA tequila brand: La Quinta, the spiritual home of the Sauza family; La Constancia, the ageing room; Obsidian, the ancient volcanic rock; and Don Cenobio Sauza, the founder of the distillery.
