We've Really Gotta Eat More HealthyDan Pearce
I'm a bachelor. I have one kid. Eating healthy isn't always the easiest thing. First off, it's hard to cook any sort of real meal because there is always so much left over. Second, as bachelors, sometimes it really is so much easier to just grab things on the run. And as much as I want to believe that I will get healthy stuff when I'm out and about, it doesn't always happen because you just get tired of the same old grilled chicken on lettuce.
That doesn't change the fact that I constantly am aware that I need to help get my son excited about eating healthy. After all, what he learns now is probably going to be a driving motivator to the way he takes care of his body when he's older. And weighing 300 lbs when he's 25 isn't something I want to be responsible for.
So we've done a few things together to start this process.
First, we sat down and had a talk about our bodies. I showed him some pictures of the skeleton and the muscles and the organs. We talked about some of the most important ones, and then we talked about which ones he wanted to take care of most so that he could be big and strong like Daddy.
Then we talked about how daddy eats too much crap and even though he's big and strong, he won't stay big and strong if he doesn't start eating better.
From there, the entire conversation somehow turned from me wanting him to eat healthy to him wanting me to eat healthy. The thought of his dad not being big and strong and tough didn't sit right with him.
His questions turned from questions about being big and strong and tough to questions like, "What happens if you don't take care of your heart?" and "What happens if you eat too much pizza?"
The timing was perfect because Wendy's is sponsoring a few of my blog posts here on Babble Voices, so I told Noah we should head over there and look at the menu and really look at what's healthy and what makes it healthy. I told him he could order whatever he wanted when we got there.
I, of course, got one of their new berry salads. I mean, talk about yum. And I'm not just saying that because they're sponsoring me. I have loved Wendy's salads for a long time now, and their new ones are fantastic. Noah sat looking at the menu for some time and started asking about each individual food that he usually loves. Hamburgers. Cheeseburgers. Chicken nuggets. We talked about each one and in the end, and with no help from me, he chose to share a salad with me. Suddenly, the unhealthy stuff just didn't seem so great anymore.
That was three days ago. Ever since then, healthy food has dominated the conversation. And then, last night the ultimate moment came when Noah said, "Dad, I think we both need to always eat healthy, K? If you will then I will."
We pinky promised (it's our new thing) and baked up some fresh tilapia.
The truth is, I may not always be able to cook fresh meals. But I can always get fresh meals, and those meals can be healthy. I just have to be willing to go where the healthy options are.

I am wondering if anyone knows of companies or firms that do this kind of work? I'm looking to connect with interaction designers in LA who are also interested in this type of design. Thanks a bunch!

At least nine drown over civic holiday weekend
By Geoff NIXON, Page A5
The long, hot days of summer see more people hitting lakes, pools and rivers, and subsequently more drownings, often in accidents that could have been prevented.
Over the civic holiday weekend alone, at least nine people drowned nationwide.
"Unfortunately, I'm not surprised," Barbara Byers, public education director of the Lifesaving Society, said of the number of weekend drowning deaths.
"What's sad about it, is that most of these are preventable and that many people just don't realize the risks and aren't quite aware of what they can do to reduce the chances of drowning," she said.
The weekend deaths include two young girls and seven adult men who drowned in separate incidents:
On Saturday, a three-year-old girl drowned in an inflatable pool in her backyard in Stoney Creek, Ontario, near Hamilton, in the early evening.
Earlier that same day, 56-year-old Bernard Morneau of Victoria was found unconscious on the banks of the Athabasca River after his canoe overturned. A 24-year-old Hamilton man also died early Saturday after jumping into a closed swimming pool at a motel in Sauble Beach, Ontario Police said Bruno LARANJEIRO, who was in the pool with several people, didn't know how to swim.
On Sunday, a 39-year-old man drowned after falling off a log in a provincial park near Chilliwack, B.C.
On Monday, a five-year-old girl from Hamilton drowned at a conservation area swimming pool in Dunnville, Ontario, during a church picnic.
There were two other deaths the same day in Ontario: A man drowned in Musselman Lake just north of Stouffville, Ontario, and 19-year-old Lucas TINSLEY drowned at a provincial park northeast of Lake Simcoe.
The body of Calgary's Scott Grimes, 26, was found in Alberta's Clearwater River on Monday. He was last seen on July 29 when he was swept away from a group of fellow swimmers.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police suspect alcohol was a factor in the feared drowning of a 19-year-old man in a provincial park near Moose Jaw in the early hours of yesterday morning. The man had been swimming with a group of young people when he apparently got pulled into the current, police said. He has not been seen since.
The body of 55-year-old Tony WONG was pulled from Chemong Lake near Peterborough, Ontario, yesterday by police divers. He had been fishing with his family Monday and went into the water without a lifejacket.
For children's water safety, Ms. Byers said it is important for them to learn swimming skills, but they also need to be closely supervised.
Ms. Byers added that a drowning can occur without drawing a lot of attention from nearby swimmers, and can happen much more quickly than some would think.
"Parents don't realize how quickly a person can drown, how quiet it is," she said. "Unlike what we may have seen from old movies where people are waving their arms and screaming… that's not what happens.
"Most people, you don't hear anything," she said. "They just get a gulp of water, another gulp of water and then it's over in 30 seconds."
And parents can be vulnerable too: In the two weeks before the holiday weekend, two fathers were killed in tragic accidents while trying to save their children from drowning.
On August 1, a 44-year-old Quebec man drowned while saving his teenage son from undercurrents at Cavendish Beach National Park in Prince Edward Island. In a similar incident only days before, a 47-year-old father of three from Vancouver drowned while trying to save his 10-year-old son who ran into trouble while swimming in Lake Superior.
In both cases, the children survived but their fathers died.
In general, Ms. Byers said, of the few hundred drowning cases that happen each summer, many can be prevented by people taking better stock of their surroundings: The danger comes when people ignore the risks of their swimming environments or overestimate their swimming abilities.

Former councillor remembered as a trailblazer
By James RUSK, Page A13
Former Toronto councillor Ying HOPE, the first Chinese-Canadian to be elected to the Toronto School Board and to city council, has been remembered as a trailblazing politician who left behind, in the words of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, "a wonderful legacy of service."
The Prime Minister's words were read at Friday's funeral for Mr. HOPE, who died last week at age 84. They also lauded Mr. HOPE for his "determined effort" to seek redress for the head tax once imposed on Chinese immigrants and for the exclusionary laws that prevented them from voting. These efforts by Mr. HOPE and other Chinese leaders were rewarded last year when the government apologized for a half-century of mistreatment of Chinese-Canadians.
But it was his two-decade career in city politics where Mr. HOPE, who grew up as one of eight children in the family of a tailor in Victoria, made his mark.
An engineer who had worked on the Avro Arrow and on the Dew Line, Mr. HOPE was first elected to the school board in 1964, made chair of the board in 1967, and won a seat on city council in 1969 as part of the Civic Action Group that included future mayors David Crombie and Art Eggleton.
A Progressive Conservative, who remained active in the party until he died, Mr. HOPE ran provincially in 1967 and federally in 1984.
He lost his council seat in 1985, won it back in a 1987 by-election, but his career as an elected official ended in 1988 when he lost his seat in that year's vote.
Until Mr. HOPE's election, the Chinese immigrant community had not played a direct role in electoral politics in the city, as Chinese families, traditionally leery of politics, preferred to handle political problems through intermediaries such as Bill Wen Sr., the owner of Sai Woo Restaurant.
Mr. HOPE's election led the way for Chinese-Canadians into the mainstream of civic politics, where he was followed by councillors like Gordon Chong and Denzil MINNAN- WONG.
"I agree with the view that Ying HOPE was a pioneer. He was one of the early politicians of Chinese descent who played politics the way it always has been played with less reliance on a totally Chinese base," said Susan ENG, former chair of the Police Service Board.
Former Toronto mayor John SEWELL, who was a rookie councillor with Mr. HOPE in Toronto in 1969, said that he was "somebody I would call a moderate. He was not a vote reformers could count on, but he was not part of the developer group headed by Fred Beavis."
Mr. SEWELL described Mr. HOPE's election in a ward that included traditionally Anglo areas of the city such as the Annex as a breakthrough in city politics. Mr. HOPE did not win simply with a big block of Chinese votes at his back.
"What was interesting was that he was not elected from the Chinese part of the city, and was not referred to as an ethnic candidate. … No one had a feeling that he was beholden anyone, and so he was allowed to act as a normal politician," Mr. SEWELL said.
"He was remarkable in his time. Ying HOPE was one of those people who established a beachhead," said Mr. MINNAN- WONG, who, like Mr. HOPE and Mr. CHONG, has been elected to council from wards that do not have large Chinese-Canadian populations.
"Both Gordon and I weren't running as 'Chinese' candidates. We were running as mainstream Canadians who had Chinese names," Mr. MINNAN- WONG said.
Mr. MINNAN- WONG, who represents Don Mills in council, said that circumstances have changed since Mr. HOPE was the pioneer.
"My father ran for council in 1976, and he wasn't successful. Back then, it wasn't easy to run with a double-barrelled Chinese name like MINNAN- WONG in an exceedingly suburban area that didn't have the same concentration of immigrant population you have now," said Mr. MINNAN- WONG.
Don Mills now has enough immigrants that its population is similar to rest of Toronto, and acceptance of multiculturalism makes its easier for him to run.
Even so, Mr. MINNAN- WONG noted, in general, the Chinese community is primarily interested in business, reluctant to participate in politics, and despite Mr. HOPE's example, still under-represented at elected levels relative to its share of the population.

This is really odd. I opened a five-meg text file in Notepad, did a
search and replace, and Notepad locked up. Assuming it was just taking
its time with a job as large as I gave it, I went to do other things...
....and found the whole XP system in an abnormal state. It was not
sluggish, per se -- instead, a lot of things were in a broken state.
Menus wouldn't drop down. Windows wouldn't close, move, or resize.
Scrollbars wouldn't work. Lots of things *would* work, but lots of other
things wouldn't. All applications affected -- web browser, another
Notepad I tried opening, other things. Menus sometimes start working,
then stop again. Most things stop working for a while if I switch tasks,
then work again spontaneously a bit later.
Task Manager (which is affected itself, making it difficult to use)
shows Notepad using 50% CPU and around 12 megs of memory. As far as I
can tell, that leaves 50% CPU for the rest of the system and gobs of
physical memory free, so it's not CPU starvation or thrashing that's
making things wonky.
Which means that Microsoft has a serious bug somewhere. Windows XP is a
protected-mode OS. No single application is supposed to be able to cause
systemwide havoc, save perhaps by hogging memory or CPU. This Notepad is
doing neither, relative to what's available, yet it's somehow brought
the whole system to its knees.
In fact they must have two bugs. One in Notepad that it would do this in
the first place, and one in the Windows kernel that it would let Notepad
wedge parts of the entire system without it even having to saturate the
CPU and memory.
The Notepad is still wedged, so I guess it's not merely slow. It's now
been forty-five minutes since I told it to do the search and replace.
Even doing this to five whole megs of text shouldn't take this long, not
with it using half of the 2GHz CPU in this machine. As near as I can
figure it, that means Notepad has been running at 1GHz by itself, and in
ten minutes has performed 600 billion calculations. To do a global
search and replace over a text file of length N requires about N runs
through some short character-comparison and counter-incrementing loop,
times the loop's length, plus in the stupidest possible implementation a
copy of the entire remainder of the file from each replace onward. In
this case, that's (generously) five hundred million or so CPU
instructions plus any copying. Copying is going to use a number of
instructions comparable to the portion of the file past the replace,
times a single-digit number, if it has to copy each character one at a
time instead of using mass-move instructions of some sort, i.e. if it's
implemented stupidly.
Assuming 60-character lines or so in a five meg file, that's about
80,000 copies *if* there's an average of one occurrence of the phrase to
replace *every* line. The average amount to copy in this case is half
the file, or two and a half million characters, or (say) twenty million
instructions. Times 80,000 is 1.6 trillion or so.
The *only* way to get more than 600 billion instructions is if Notepad
uses the poorest possible choices of algorithm, eschews mass-move
instructions or data structures more sensible than a 5 meg array of
characters for a document that large, AND there are that many
occurrences of the replace target.
And even then, it will take this machine and Notepad using 50% CPU less
than half an hour to do it.
We're coming up on the fifty minute mark now...
Obviously, it either uses unbelievably boneheaded algorithms, such that
they had to actually go out of their way to make it slow instead of
merely using the most naive programming possible, or else it's wedged.
Dead as a doornail.
That half the rest of the system is acting strange despite having plenty
of memory and CPU left over is another strong indication that Notepad
isn't merely being slow, but has managed to gum up the works in some
critical part of the operating system somehow, and therefore has
probably gummed up its own works at least as severely and will never
finish its job.
Which means it's time for me to end-task that Notepad, maybe reboot
after, and then go find a corner to go sulk in and cry, because it looks
like Windows does not provide ANY possible way for a user to do a large
global search and replace on a longish text file, and therefore there's
no way for me to continue with my larger task, and it's the end for me.

Ben NilsenGeneral Discussion -
Is anyone from the Indianapolis area? I'm having a hard time finding other divers in my area, especially divers close to my age (mid 20's). I'll be taking the advanced PADI courses this summer and hopefully taking a dive trip this Fall and it would be fun to do it with someone else!
Hi Ben, with nearly 10K members here you might just get lucky! If you haven't already done so, you could also check on www.scubaearth.com and www.scubaboard.com/forums and see if there's any dive buddies close by

Very rare vintage dress from Hollywood costume designer Gilbert Adrian with the custom label. This absolutely phenomenal vintage 1940's dress is an example of Gilbert Adrian's creative ability to use silk fringe to transform a relatively simple black rayon crepe dress into a masterpiece. There are a few snags and some very minor underarm discoloration. Signature Adrian 1940s shoulder pads (ala Joan Crawford) and exquisite fringe! Remarkably good condition! The custom label was used for his one of a kind and couture pieces. You can have the privilege of owning a piece of fashion and Hollywood history! We acquired this dress from an auction years ago, but we were recently fortunate to find 3 additional original Gilbert Adrian 1940s dresses that will be available on our site from the estate of a high end department store owner.

Joan Crawford in Gilbert Adrian dress
He was born Adrian Adolph Greenburg, in Naugatuck, Connecticut, on March 3, 1903. Adrian trained at the Parsons School of Fine Arts. It is rumored that songwriter Irving Berlin hired the then 18 year old designer for a Broadway presentation of "The Music Box Revue" after seeing his creations in Paris. It was Natacha Rambova, the wife of Rudolph Valentino and movie art director, who gave Gilbert Adrian access to Hollywood royalty in the 1920's. He designed for two of Rudy's films and the rest is history.
His design emphasis was on simplicity but he had the ability to drape fabrics that is unrivaled to this day. He was a 1944 Coty award winner but unfortunately never won an Oscar because the category of costume design wasn't created until after he left MGM. He was the head designer for over 250 movies and had an illustrious career dressing some of the world's most famous women. One of my favorite of his accomplishments is that he designed costumes, including the ruby slippers, for The Wizard of Oz. He married the actress Janet Gaynor and they lived in Brazil in the last years of his life. Sadly, he died at the young age of 56 of a heart attack. Gilbert Adrian left a lasting impression that will forever define the most glamorous era of Hollywood's history.

Goldberg et al70030 report a clinical trial measuring cognitive response in patients with first-episode schizophrenia at baseline and after 6 and 16 weeks of treatment with second-generation antipsychotics and cognitive change in an unmedicated healthy control group over the same intervals. Cognitive gains were highly significant in both groups, but differences in the magnitude of the gains were few. The authors inferred a practice effect because the same tests were serially administered.
A systematic review of mortality in schizophrenia by Saha et al70001 found that people with schizophrenia are 2.5 times more at risk of dying compared with the general population. In addition to the increased risk of suicide, many causes of death were found to be elevated in schizophrenia. This differential mortality gap has worsened over recent decades.
The TADS Team70027 examined the effectiveness of fluoxetine hydrochloride, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and their combination in adolescents with major depressive disorder across 36 weeks of randomized treatment. At 12 weeks, fluoxetine alone and with CBT were superior to CBT alone, which caught up to fluoxetine by week 18. More than 80% of patients in all 3 treatment arms responded after 9 months of treatment. Suicidal events were more common in patients treated with fluoxetine. Combined treatment appears superior to either monotherapy as a treatment for major depression in adolescents.
To evaluate the risk posed by ADHD for early initiation of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use, Elkins et al70031 followed up male and female adolescents from age 11 years through age 18 years. They found that ADHD hyperactivity-impulsivity predicted early substance initiation and the development of nicotine dependence and cannabis abuse/dependence, even when co-occurring conduct disorder was considered, whereas inattention alone did not.
Johnson et al70028 studied with a metacognitive appraisal functional magnetic resonance imaging task 110 healthy adults who differed on apolipoprotein E (APOE4) genetic status and parental history of Alzheimer disease (AD). The researchers found that having a parent with AD significantly reduced activation in the hippocampus and in the medial parietal lobe, suggesting that this risk factor influences brain function in regions commonly affected by AD.
In an ancillary study of the Women's Health Initiative, Smoller et al70026 found that postmenopausal women reporting a 6-month history of panic attack had 4-fold increased odds of coronary heart disease, 3-fold increased odds of stroke, and 75% increased odds of all-cause mortality during prospective follow-up. The increased risks, observed after controlling for potential confounders, suggest that panic attacks are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in older women.
Brotman et al70021 examined whether a psychosocial intervention that promotes social competence and prevents aggression in preschoolers alters cortisol response in children at risk for psychopathologic disorders. In the context of a randomized trial, relative to controls, children receiving the intervention had increased cortisol levels when anticipating peer social challenge. The study demonstrates that a preventive intervention for high-risk children alters the stress response.
Merikangas et al70012 investigated the comparative effects of common mental and physical conditions on role disability in a representative household sample of the US population using a novel method that accounts for comorbidity. Adults with 1 or more mental or physical conditions reported an average of 32.1 more role-disability days in the past year than demographically matched controls.
Dempster et al70038 report a significant association with the vasopressin V1b receptor gene (AVPR1B) and childhood-onset mood disorders, particularly in females. The vasopressin V1b receptor is involved in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis under stress; hence, genetic variation in AVPR1B may have implications on the HPA axis dysregulation in mood disorders, particularly in females.
Using data from the 2001-2003 National Comorbidity Survey Replication, Druss et al70025 report that 82.3% of US mental health service users had a lifetime or 12-month diagnosis, 9.7% had another indication of possible need for treatment, and the remaining 8.0% primarily received their care outside of the formal medical system. The findings may help allay concerns about overuse of services in persons without current mental disorders.
Wilson et al70032 annually examined nearly 1000 older Catholic clergy members for up to 12 years. Higher levels of the personality trait conscientiousness were associated with decreased incidence of Alzheimer disease and mild cognitive impairment and reduced cognitive decline, especially in episodic memory. Among those who died and underwent brain autopsy, conscientiousness was unrelated to amyloid burden, tangle density, Lewy bodies, or cerebral infarction.

Research Community on Communicating Uncertainty: Science, Institutions, and Ethics in the Politics of Global Climate Change
Scott Barrett, a visiting research Scholar with the PIIRS Research Community on Communicating Uncertainty: Science, Institutions, and Ethics in the Politics of Global Climate Change, and Lenfest-Earth Institute Professor of Natural Resource Economics at Columbia University; and coauthor Astrid Dannenberg, a fellow at the Lenfest-Earth institute, present new research about behavior and uncertainty about climate change in "Sensitivity of Collective Action to Uncertainty about Climate Tipping Points." The article was published online by Nature Climate Change on Dec. 8.
ABSTRACT: Despite more than two decades of diplomatic effort, concentrations of greenhouse gases continue to trend upwards, creating the risk that we may someday cross a threshold for 'dangerous' climate change1, 2, 3. Although climate thresholds are very uncertain, new research is trying to devise 'early warning signals' of an approaching tipping point4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. This research offers a tantalizing promise: whereas collective action fails when threshold uncertainty is large, reductions in this uncertainty may bring about the behavioral change needed to avert a climate 'catastrophe'5. Here we present the results of an experiment, rooted in a game-theoretic model, showing that behavior differs markedly either side of a dividing line for threshold uncertainty. On one side of the dividing line, where threshold uncertainty is relatively large, free riding proves irresistible and trust illusive, making it virtually inevitable that the tipping point will be crossed. On the other side, where threshold uncertainty is small, the incentive to coordinate is strong and trust more robust, often leading the players to avoid crossing the tipping point. Our results show that uncertainty must be reduced to this 'good' side of the dividing line to stimulate the behavioural shift needed to avoid 'dangerous' climate change.
The PIIRS research community, whose members work in disciplines ranging from engineering to political philosophy,receive suspport from PIIRS for research, course development, and conferences. It examines issues of uncertainty with respect to global climate change and other international environmental problems from the perspectives of natural, social, and political science with the aim of improving the capacity to discuss and weigh related policy prescriptions.

Aged, Not Shaken
Want to add unique depth to your next cocktail? Put it in a barrel and wait six weeks
The barrel is a beautiful thing. It's an object that's etched into our boozy subconscious—an old-timey icon for fine drink that's almost primal. It's pre–frothy beer mug, pre–martini glass, pre–mustachioed bartender. Yet you rarely encounter one outside of a distillery tour. That is, until the craft-cocktail set started to re-purpose the barrels for aging their own drinks. Jeffrey Morgenthaler, head bartender at Clyde Common in Portland, Ore., was one of the first to do it, inspiring bartenders around the globe to experiment. And Tuthilltown Distilleries in Gardiner, N.Y., has kept the trend alive—it started off aging its whiskey in custom-made 2½-gallon vessels years ago because of the ability of those unusually small barrels to age spirits more quickly. Although larger ones are more cost effective, the distillers continue to use smaller barrels, partly because of the unique flavor they produce, but also because of the demand from drink geeks.
While the afterlives of large American whiskey barrels are well established—they are often sold to rum and Scotch distilleries—Tuthilltown has started a homegrown micro-economy for its small-scale barrels. (By law, most American whiskeys must be aged in new barrels.) They have been used to age soy sauce at New York restaurant Momofuku as well as maple syrups and vinegars from Noble Handcrafted, but Gable Erenzo, Tuthilltown's brand ambassador, says that barrel-aging bartenders have been the most steady outlet.
And once you've tasted a barrel-aged cocktail, you'll see why. I've had a Negroni and a White Manhattan (pictured) sitting in a corner for the past couple of weeks, and I'm glad I threw out that box of comics to make space for them: they are phenomenal. All of those complex flavors that you associate with bourbon (caramel, vanilla, oak) sneak their way into the cocktail, whose own flavors get married in a way that no amount of stirring or shaking can produce. It takes a lot of booze, but the process is simple—it's just stirring, pouring and waiting—and worth the money if you're planning on throwing a party. Save some of it, though. Poured into 200ml bottles, these cocktails make awesome gifts. It's like canning, but much cooler.
How to Barrel-Age a Cocktail
1. Prime Your Barrel. Purchase a 2½-gallon barrel ($76, tuthilltown.com). Before pouring hundreds of dollars of liquor into it, you need to prime the wood so it doesn't leak. Fill the barrel with hot water. This will make the wood expand, filling any space between staves. If the barrel still leaks, continue to top it off with hot water until it doesn't. (This may take a few hours.) Then empty out the water and…
2. Choose Your Cocktail. Avoid anything that requires citrus (it may spoil) and stick to spirit-based drinks like the recipes from bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler listed below. (He doesn't recommend drinks with aged whiskey since putting something that's spent time in a barrel back into a barrel is redundant.) With three-ounce serving sizes you'll get approximately 108 drinks from one barrel, so choose a cocktail you know you like.
3. Barrel It. It's best to premix the cocktail, without ice, so you know you're not shorting any of the ingredients. (Barrels may be a few ounces less or more than 2½ gallons.) Pour the contents into the container, give it a few stirs and, using a funnel, pour the cocktail into the barrel and plug it. Store it in a dry, temperate place for six weeks. Turn or shake the barrel every other day or so.
4. Taste Test. After six weeks, unplug the barrel and use a pipette to taste the cocktail. Look for notes of caramel and vanilla. If it's not aged enough, let it sit for another week or two, tasting it along the way. And when you think it's good and ready…
5. Bottle It. Pour the cocktail into a large container using a mesh strainer to filter out any char from the barrel. Then, using the funnel, pour the liquid into several blank bottles. (Save the barrel. It can be reused several times.)
6. Drink Up. Once bottled, stir the cocktail with ice and strain it into a glass (just like any other fine cocktail) and enjoy.

Kim Kardashian: "People are so stupid"
Kim and Khloe Kardashian have admitted to one vice and one vice only: The internet. And if you think they're not reading your nasty tweets about them, think again.
If you want to catch the attention of the Kardashians, all you have to do is write about them on the internet. In a new interview with Papermag, Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe said they are total web addicts and that people who say nasty things about them are stupid.
"I love writing them back. People will write me, "My phone battery lasts longer than Kim Kardashian's marriage,' and I'll write back, 'Oh, which phone is that?'" Kim told Papermag.com.
"When people are so stupid, you just have to have fun with it. Someone [without a profile photo] will say I'm fat, or a hairy Armenian, and I'll write back, 'Oh, that egg picture of yours is so gorgeous,'" she explained, referencing the generic Twitter profile image.
Despite sometimes causing controversy with tweets, Khloe said nothing she writes gets deleted -- but the same can't be said of another Kardashian.
"I don't delete things. You look like such a little punk when you delete things," Khloe Kardashian said. "Our brother Rob deletes almost every tweet and follows people and then unfollows them. If he's in the mood to just date random people, he follows them, then unfollows. He unfollows me like once a month. He's bipolar on Twitter."
All goofing around aside, Kim said the whole family knows how important social media is to their brand, and they take it very seriously.
"I think a lot of our fan base and a lot of our connection with people is internet based. I think that the internet has brought on a different kind of celebrity. We are very well aware of who we are and what our place is. We are so active on Twitter, on our Facebook pages, we are writing back, we are connecting. We enjoy it," she says.
Read the complete interview with Kim and Khloe Kardashian on Papermag.com.
Do you follow any of them on Twitter?
they said we're stupid...lol..okkk...but anyways i dont twitter or facebook...
Quoting Strega:
The day I follow any of them on Twitter, is the day I quit the Internets.
No. They are talentless stuck up snobs. Nothing about them interests me what so ever.
I like the Kardashians and even I don't follow them on Twitter.
of course they are webaddicts, lol they are ALWAYS on their phones during the taping of their show. lol.
this lol
Quoting MrsNewman:
No. They are talentless stuck up snobs. Nothing about them interests me what so ever.

Business owners on the Quay Walls have expressed concern at the state of the neighbouring playhouse site.
One accommodation provider said: "The back of the house overlooks the Equatorial Forest (former Play House) fondly referred to by the council as the Pop Up Park project.
"My guests and other visitors comment on the disgraceful state of the site. How can you attract visitors with this disgusting sight? Today it has moved another step back, by the addition of someone's laundry."
Arch, Northumberland County Council's arms-length development company, had earmarked £15,000 of Portas money to go towards a pop-up park planned for the former site in January.
However the site is privately owned, and tidiness is the responsibility of the owner.

Going For The Gold
With the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics happening just one week from today, we thought it was a good time to showcase some of our gold medal-worthy lingerie and clothes.
Surprisingly, gold lingerie isn't as prevalent as you might think. Maybe lingerie sets with a metallic sheen just aren't as popular, but we would love to see more gold in lingerie! What do you think divas, do you want to "go for the gold" when it comes to your lingerie?

Someone on here said it best, "When all this hype has died down in two years 90% of pros will be shooting with the 5D3 over the D800, just like the 5D2 over and D700 and all Canon over Nikons"
DXO scores are only any good to DXO. Their testing methods are bunk tbh. They scored the D800 higher than a IQ180, morons.
I can say with confidence that if DxO has ever published a correct DR measurement, it was by accident. Their DR results are dead wrong for every camera I'm familiar with and/or have tested (properly) with a transmission step wedge.
How many people here that are bashing DxO for the results would NOT be bashing their results had they come in higher than the D800?
Jeez....It's like comparing supermodels....oh my supermodel has perkier breasts than yours, oh my supermodel has more pouty lips than yours....5 years from now your supermodel will look old and crinkly.
I'm not sure if the figure will be 90%, but it's still a good point. According to DxO, the 5DII and 1DsIII are turds,
but they dominated the studio scene for quite some time. I can see the D800 cutting into this advantage, but I still don't think the gap is big enough for many working pros to consider switching systems. Many of them have probably never even heard of DxO before.
I chose a nice challenging, contrasty scene with a lot of bright sky and deep shadows. I used same focal length (obv. not the same lens) and same exposure (also corrected for white balance). I then processed in LR4 with the express intent of pulling as much detail from shadows and highlights. I could pull a lot more out of the highlights on the 5DM3 image and ended up with an image that was HDR-like, while the D7000 image still had a blown-out sky. The 5DM3 image also just flat-out looked better, color-wise and tonally (several family members agreed.) It feels like this DR business is not adequately describing what one might see in the real world. What am I missing??
I remember number of years ago when Nikon fanboys were in the same situation when DXOmark scores came out. Canon's rise in market share proved DXOmark right. The opposite is happening now. Nikon is gaining back its market share. The D3/D700 generation set the bench mark for ISO, and D800 has set the bench mark for IQ.
Yawn. (NO offense to the OP)
Wow, whatever you want a result to be is the right answer I guess.... If you don't think 2+2=4 makes sense just find some book that says it = 8 and then that is your truth. Don't like evolution, just make something up that fits your belief. etc.

Frost takes toll on Erie region fruit crops
Grower Chester Sceiford estimates that this spring he's lost 80 to 90 percent of his cherry crop plus the grapes in low-lying areas of his vineyard.
He considers himself fortunate.
"There are vineyards that were totally frozen," said Sceiford, of Sceiford Quality Fruit of North East Township.
Seasonal frosts through April 29 killed fruit buds that were coaxed out early by summerlike temperatures throughout the Erie region in March. Temperatures from late March through April dipped to freezing or below more than a dozen times.
"And we're not out of the woods yet. We've gotten frost before into mid-May," said Bryan Hed, a plant researcher at the Lake Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center in North East.
Grapes, the region's largest fruit crop, took the brunt of the frost damage. While there's no estimate yet of how much of the 2012 crop has been lost, it's shaping up to be the worst frost damage in 35 years, said Rich Erdle, member services director for the Westfield, N.Y.-based National Grape Cooperative, which owns Welch's.
"The damage is significant, and that's from Ohio through Pennsylvania and New York, even in Ontario," Erdle said.
Some of the worst damage is in western Erie County, where primary grape buds froze in an April 13 frost and secondary buds also capable of bearing fruit froze on April 29, Erdle said.
"Normally, buds wouldn't even be out on the 13th of April, but we'd had that couple of weeks of summer in March," Erdle said.
The result was "total destruction," said one west county vineyard owner who asked not to be identified.
Bruce Boyce, of Boyce Fruit Farm on Lexington Road in Girard Township, lost most of 100 acres of grapes, plus 25 acres of apples and a few acres of other fruits to frost.
"I figure I lost my grapes, peaches, cherries, apples -- about everything," Boyce said. "We did have a good apple crop until this last freeze (April 28-29). But then it was 26 degrees, and that kind of cooked those."
In other areas, especially close to Lake Erie, where temperatures are slightly warmer, some grape vineyards are undamaged. Others lost primary buds but can expect smaller yields of grapes from secondary buds that also bear fruit, said Hed, of the Grape Research Center. The 40-acre facility, operated by the Pennsylvania State University and Cornell University, grows its own grapes and tests the effects of climate, insects and other factors on the crop.
Losses also vary according to topography, Hed said.
"Even in vineyards half a mile from each other along the lake, one had 20 to 30 percent damage, and the other was completely unscathed. It has a lot to do with the lay of the land. Where cold air can pool and can't drain out is where you get the most damage," he said.
Humidity ramped up the damage from the most recent frost, on April 29. "It actually hit the dew point. Grapes got wet and then froze," Hed said.
Most of the damaged grapes are Niagara and Concord varieties grown for juice and jelly, Erdle said.
The toll on other fruit crops along the Erie lakeshore also isn't known yet. Gary Faulkner, who owns Godfrey Run Farm in Girard Township, said that his apple trees are unusually laden with blooms, but that doesn't mean that they'll be unusually laden with fruit.
"The bloom will still come out if the pistil isn't there. I'm just kind of waiting for the apples to get some size to them so I can see what made it and what didn't," Faulkner said.
Growers will try to cut expenses to offset the fruit losses, but there isn't much that they can do.
"A lot of their costs, including spraying, have already been laid out to get to this point," Erdle said. "There aren't a lot of corners to cut."
Insurance and planting additional vegetables this summer will make up for some of the loss, Boyce said.
"It won't cover all of the cost. All of us have thousands of dollars tied up just in trimming trees, grapes and whatever. Then it's all gone in one night," Boyce said.
Sceiford, who owns Sceiford Quality Fruit, doesn't remember a worse spring for fruit crops.
"I grew up on a farm and have been actively farming for more than 40 years, and I've never seen a spring like this. I can't even remember my father or grandfather talking about a spring even remotely similar," Sceiford said.

Coliseum Tournaments
Coliseum Tournaments
After clearing the Olympus Coliseum area, Sora and company can periodically go back to test their skills in the games and earn fabulous prizes. Keep an eye out for announcements from Chip and Dale after completing major areas -- they'll pipe up and mention when a new tournament has ensued.
When first entering a tournament, the whole party goes. After beating it the first time as a team, Sora can then enter solo, in either an ordinary progression or a high-speed time attack battle. All three of these methods net different prizes, so try all of them to rack up the most goods.
Here's the complete listing of tournaments and competitors (and since we're using the proper names for the monsters here, refer to the Monsters section to figure out what's what -- for example, a "Powerwild" is one of the Monkey Heartless from Deep Jungle).
EditPhil Cup
This is the first tournament, which begins after Sora locks the Traverse Town Keyhole. It's also the easiest, by a long shot.
- 4 Powerwilds, 3 Soldiers
- 1 Powerwild, 2 Green Requiems, 2 Red Nocturnes, 5 Yellow Operas
- 1 Hammerlegs, 4 Powerwilds
- 5 Red Nocturnes, 5 Yellow Operas
- 1 Large Body, 5 Powerwilds
- 1 Gauntlets, 3 Blue Rhapsodies, 4 Shadows
- 2 Large Bodies, 6 Green Requiems
- 1 Gauntlets, 1 Hammerlegs, 4 Powerwilds
- 1 Armored Torso, 4 Yellow Operas, 4 Blue Rhapsodies.
Beat the Phil Cup to earn an upgrade to Sora's command of the Gravity spell.
EditPegasus Cup
The second tournament is tougher, and features some familiar faces at the very end. This tournament becomes available after the party completes the Monstro area.
- 2 Search Ghosts, 1 Bandit, 3 Air Soldiers
- 4 Shadows, 3 Barrel Spiders, 2 Bandits
- 2 Large Bodies, 1 Pot Spider, 1 Barrel Spider, 1 Fat Bandit
- 5 Pot Spiders, 3 Yellow Operas, 2 Green Requiems
- 4 Search Ghosts, 2 Fat Bandits
- 3 Black Fungi
- 5 Pot Spiders, 5 Barrel Spiders
- 3 Fat Bandits, 3 Large Bodies
- Leon and Yuffie
Yep, the bosses of this tournament are our friendly bounty hunters from Traverse Town. Yuffie is the one to smack first, since she possesses healing abilities, and the clever fighter can knock her shuriken back at her. Against Leon, get well out of the way when he charges up his Gunblade for a running slash. Victory earns the Strike Raid ability for Sora.
EditHercules Cup
Finish out the second ring of areas, including sealing off Halloweentown and Neverland, to unlock the third Cup. This one is quite tough, and features the return of Cloud in the middle of the ladder. However, the party wins some great extras for completing this tournament.
- 5 Gargoyles, 3 Shadows
- 4 Wight Knights, 2 Barrel Spiders, 1 Air Pirate
- 4 Pirates, 1 Battleship
- 4 Gargoyles, 3 Wight Knights
- 1 Rare Truffle (cast Gravity to beat him)
- Cloud
- 2 Air Pirates, 2 Pirates, 2 Gargoyles, 1 Wight Knight
- 2 Pirates, 2 Battleships, 1 Air Pirate
- Hercules
Hercules himself is pretty tough, although perhaps not quite as tough as Cloud, who is as annoying as Riku. Herc is invulnerable at times, though, while he's glowing yellow. To kill that invulnerability, bean him with a barrel (especially when he says "Hey, give up yet?" and poses), then attack while he's briefly vulnerable.
Finishing the Hercules Cup nets all kinds of stuff. Goofy gets Herc's Shield, Sora gets the Metal Chocobo keychain after beating Cloud and the Olympia keychain for finishing the first three tournaments, and beating the tournament also opens up the potential to use Yellow Trinity points. The first Yellow Trinity to hit is in the lobby of the Coliseum, where Sora can lock the Coliseum Keyhole.

Voice: Dale Kenney, Flushing
Flint has been my home since 1936. In 1936, shortly after my birth, my father. Lefty Kenney, took part in the historic Sit Down Strike at Fisher Body Plant No. 1. Like many workers, he knew that collective bargaining was essential between General Motors and the UAW. After 40 days of very dangerous situations, General Motors finally recognized the UAW, which set the stage to have collective bargaining.
Unions were formed to protect hourly workers from deplorable working conditions, safety conditions, wages, and benefits. Our unions helped many families obtain a better life, which brought the surfacing of the middle class of America. The middle class is the backbone of our economy.
If collective bargaining is removed from our society, it will help destroy the very important middle class. If collective bargaining is taken away from any of us, our First Amendment rights are being violated. Taking Collective bargaining away from any group is a huge step backwards. Our union memberships have done many positive things to enhance relationships with many groups, from the public sector to the corporations (concessions, donations and education).
We must protect our First Amendment rights, as we do have a right for collective bargaining. What can you do to support our First Amendment rights? Contact any union organization and ask how can you help uphold the collective bargaining system.

Individuals with cystic fibrosis, or CF, have relatively few treatment options available to them. Approved medicines largely focus on reducing inflammation and keeping infections at bay -- treating symptoms of the disease, not the cause. For instance, Pulmozyme from Roche (NASDAQOTH: RHHBY ) was the first approved treatment for CF. The drug is an enzyme that breaks down mucus in the lungs, which improves breathing and the body's ability to clear such mucus. It fetched $305 million in sales for Roche in the first half of this year, but it is approved for multiple indications worldwide and is hardly the best the industry has to offer.
Promising new research in the genetics of CF is about to change that. Kalydeco from Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX ) is approved to treat patients with a certain mutation, G551D, in the gene encoding the CFTR protein, which controls fluid flow in and out of cells. The drug has greatly improved the lives of cystic fibrosis patients with the mutation -- about 4% of all patients -- and generated sales of $160 million in the first half of 2013. Not very promising, but consider that pipeline candidates currently being evaluated in clinical trials that treat another genetic mutation, F508del, could allow Vertex to treat 90% of the cystic fibrosis population and generate peak sales of $1.7 billion by 2018.
The prospects have spurred others to dig into genetic data to unveil targets for treating cystic fibrosis more effectively. Who are the latest entrants? Are they investment-worthy on the backs of CF treatments alone? Fool contributor Maxx Chatsko explains in the following video.
Biotech innovation doesn't end with cystic fibrosis
The best way to play the biotech space is to find companies that shun the status quo and instead discover revolutionary, groundbreaking technologies. In the Motley Fool's brand-new free report "2 Game-Changing Biotechs Revolutionizing the Way We Treat Cancer," find out about a new technology that big pharma is endorsing through partnerships, and the two companies that are set to profit from this emerging drug class.
