SACRAMENTO–Senator Fran Pavley was recognized last week for her work on behalf of small business.
On January 10, the California Small Business Association (CSBA) and California Small Business Roundtable (CSBR) named Sen. Pavley to the Summa Cum Laude list of California Legislators for 2012. Pavley was one of 44 current and former legislators awarded the top rating by these organizations. This group includes 28 Democrats and 16 Republicans.
According to these groups, legislators were rated on several categories, including: their voting record on legislation considered a priority by small business; for authoring and carrying bills supported by small business; the efficiency and professionalism of their staffs in dealing with concerns raised by small business; for holding one or more small business advisory council meetings in their district; and for honoring a small businessperson from their district during the annual California Small Business Day.
"Nobody makes the honor roll unless they've earned it," said Betty Jo Toccoli, president of the CSBA. "Senator Pavley has really made a concerted effort to establish good relationships with small businesses in her district. We look forward to continuing our work with her in 2013."
In June, Sen. Pavley selected Jane Skeeter, founder & CEO of UltraGlas, Inc. as her District's Small Businessperson of the Year. The Chatsworth-based company makes patented, environmentally sustainable products, including flooring and other building materials, from salvaged glass diverted from landfills.
In September, Governor Jerry Brown signed Pavley's SB 1532, which was supported by the CSBA. This bill calls on the Secretary of State to more efficiently roll out the California Business Connect program, which allows business to fill out state forms on the Secretary's website, 24 hours a day.

CBS (Wednesdays, 8 p.m. ET)
In this new sitcom, the Cheers veteran plays the cohost of a radio show, Points & Plugs. Together with his brother (Pat Finn), he dispenses automotive advice from a makeshift studio inside their car repair garage. (The premise is lifted from the popular NPR show Car Talk, hosted by Tom and Ray Magliozzi. That program is based in Boston, but Wendt, opting to put some miles between himself and Norm, situates this show in Madison, Wis.)
Wendt and Finn deliver their lines with such assurance and crisp rhythm that you may be puzzled after a few minutes to find that you're not laughing. These guys sure act funny. The problem is they're driving a lemon. Under the hood: stale and obvious writing. Combine the running-on-empty humor with a woeful supporting cast, and you have a sitcom hitting on about two cylinders.

Commissioner Jordan hosts 5th Annual Hispanic Heritage Festival
admin | 11/9/2011, 11:37 a.m.
The rain didnt stop residents from coming out to celebrate Commissioner Barbara J. Jordans 5th Annual Hispanic Heritage Festival on Saturday, Oct. 29th at Acadia Park. The free event featured various activities and presentations highlighting the positive influences of District 1's growing Hispanic community in Miami-Dade County. "Thank you to everyone who came out to the festival despite the rainy weather. Much like previous years, the event was a blast, said Commissioner Jordan. Attendees enjoyed live music, folkloric presentations, and Kid Zone with pony rides, bounce house, rock climbing wall, and clown. A real treat was popular Latin food, including arroz campesino (yellow rice with a variety of meats and corn) and lechon (roast pig) stuffed with rice. Residents also received information and resources from social services agencies such as the Community Action Agency, Housing Finance Authority, South Florida Workforce and Jackson Health System. Several sponsors contributed to this event including HorsePower Electric, MCM, Lehman Dealership Enterprises Inc., Warren Henry Automobiles Inc., Pollo Tropical and Sedanos.

Just because she's not wearing her wedding ring much of the time anymore doesn't mean that Kate Gosselin's back on the market. In fact, the reality-show mom says it's not going to happen while she remains the focus of so much media attention.
"I'm not thinking about it, but the thought has crossed my mind at some point [that] it's going to be scrutinized," Gosselin, 34, tells Ellen DeGeneres on an episode of her talk show set to air Wednesday. "Let's not talk about it."
DeGeneres agrees: "Exactly, and some guy is going to have that same concern."
Gosselin says she tries to live her life surrounded by cameras – and "the 18 cars that follow me around" – by thinking of her eight children.
"I just know that, on TV or off TV, I've been very much targeted and torn apart," she says. "I'm telling you [from] the root of my heart everything about me: I am a mother first. I will always be a mother and I would die for my kids if need be ... My focus is them. It's not the paparazzi. My focus is not what trip I can go on or what shows I can do as a result of this thing. This is my job. This is my paycheck and so this is what I do."
But the kids, Gosselin says, are getting used to the idea of Kate minus Jon – and a wedding ring.
"At some point, I talked to the kids it came up very naturally and I said I'm not going to be wearing this ring very much longer," she says. "They said, 'Oh, why?' I said, 'Because I'm not going to be married to Daddy anymore,' which, of course, hearing that I don't think was fun for them."

At Lankenau Medical Center, our goal is to make sure that each patient
with aortic valve disease receives the most effective treatment possible
for his or her condition. Our Valve Clinic specialists offer expertise
in medical, surgical, and transcatheter (TAVR) treatment of aortic
stenosis. After a thorough evaluation, and in collaboration with a
patient's referring doctor, an individualized plan of care will be
presented that best supports a patient's needs and offers the
best-possible outcomes.
What is aortic stenosis? | Causes
| Symptoms and complications | Diagnosis
| Treatment options
Aortic stenosis is a disorder of the aortic valve, one of the four
valves that regulate blood flow through the chambers of the heart. All
heart valves work to make sure that blood flows in one direction only.
The aortic valve controls the flow of blood from the heart to the main
artery that supplies the body.
normal healthy aortic valve has three flaps of tissue (called leaflets)
that open wide to allow blood to pump freely from the heart and then
close completely to prevent blood from leaking backward. In aortic
stenosis, the valve leaflets are stiff and cannot open fully, limiting
the flow of blood to the body.
back to top
Aortic stenosis can be caused by a birth defect, rheumatic fever,
radiation therapy, medication, or inflammation in the heart. The most
common cause is a buildup of calcium (mineral deposits) on the valve's
leaflets. This is called calcific aortic stenosis—a condition
that mainly affects people aged 75 or older.
Aortic stenosis usually progresses slowly and worsens over time, with
symptoms typically developing only after the disease is advanced. In the
early stages, aortic stenosis often is not detected unless a
characteristic heart murmur (abnormal heart sound heard with a
stethoscope) or other clue is discovered on a physical exam and then
evaluated with further tests.
As aortic stenosis worsens, the heart must work harder to push blood out
to the body and to make up for blood that may leak backward. The extra
work of the heart and reduced blood flow to the body lead to symptoms.
The strain on the heart causes the heart to weaken, increasing the risk
for heart failure and death. Studies show that without treatment, 50% of
people with severe aortic stenosis will not live longer than an average
of 2 years after symptoms develop.
If symptoms or signs (e.g., a heart murmur) suggest aortic stenosis,
further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis, determine the
severity of the condition, and guide treatment. At Lankenau Medical
Center, patients have access to the most advanced tools and technology
available to screen for, diagnose, and evaluate heart disease. Tests
used in the diagnosis and evaluation of aortic stenosis may include:
Treatment of aortic stenosis varies depending on many factors,
People with mild aortic stenosis may not need treatment but should be
monitored for worsening stenosis or development of symptoms. People with
more advanced (moderate to severe) disease or with symptoms may benefit
from treatment.
Valve replacement. The most effective long-term
treatment for severe aortic stenosis is to replace the diseased aortic
valve with a new valve. The standard approach to valve replacement is
with open-heart surgery. For patients who cannot have surgery or who are
at high risk for surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
may be an option.
Medications and other treatments. Medications cannot
slow or change the course of aortic stenosis, but they may reduce
symptoms of the disease and help ease the burden on the heart. A
procedure called balloon aortic valvuloplasty can be performed
to help widen the narrowed aortic valve. However, this procedure
provides only short-term improvement of symptoms. It does not treat the
root cause of the problem.

Talking With...
Show of the week
This TV movie does some things wrong, yet goes right to the heart. The drama is based on the true story of Sam Reese Sheppard, the son of Dr. Sam Sheppard (Peter Strauss, Moloney), the Cleveland osteopath convicted of the 1954 murder of his wife in the case that inspired the TV series and movie The Fugitive. By the time his conviction was overturned, he had spent almost 10 years in prison and changed from a supremely self-confident professional into a bitter, unstable wreck. Through painful flashbacks, the film brings home the confusion and humiliation of the son (played by Bradley Reid as a small boy and Jonathan Kroeker as a teenager) as he struggles to remain loyal to his notorious but—or so the film argues—innocent father. Strauss plays the older Sheppard with such conviction that his degradation is uncomfortably real. The 1990s part of the story, in which the mature son (Henry Czerny, Glory & Honor) fights to establish his mother's true killer, is burdened by exposition and marred by ill-conceived scenes in which he imagines conversing with his now-dead father's ghost. But flaws aside, this one will hold you.
Bottom Line: Strong drama of the father-son bond
CBS (Sun., Nov. 15, 9 p.m. ET)
The most we can say for Monday After the Miracle is that it serves as an adequate acting vehicle for CBS series stars Moira Kelly (To Have & to Hold) and Roma Downey (whose Touched by an Angel precedes this TV movie). Otherwise, William Gibson's 1982 Broadway flop was hardly worth adapting.
A sequel to Gibson's The Miracle Worker, the turgid drama picks up the true story of Helen Keller (a sweet, sympathetic Kelly) in the early 1900s. Thanks to the efforts of personal tutor and best friend Annie Sullivan (Downey, flinty but vulnerable), deaf and blind Helen is successfully pursuing college studies. After a professor urges her to submit her essays for publication, Helen takes on a literary collaborator: a smooth dreamboat named John Macy (blandly played by Bill Campbell from The Rocketeer).
John soon falls in love with Annie, who agrees to marry him on the condition that Helen will share their home and "always comes first." On her wedding day, Annie realizes that "This is a mistake. Three people can't be married." The rest of the film slowly proves her right.
Some of the dialogue involving Helen is heard in voice-over as the characters are shown communicating in sign language. But the talk sounds especially artificial when John moves his lips. "Let me into your bed, my fierce Annie," says he, by way of a proposition. Later John announces: "Something is dying in this house, and it's me." Then go quietly, if you please.
Bottom Line: No dramatic miracles performed here
FOX (Fridays, 8 p.m. ET)
A dead cop, serving an afterlife sentence in hell for murdering his wife's rapist, is temporarily sprung by the devil and assigned to track down 113 dangerously evil souls who escaped from the underworld and are now roaming the earth wreaking havoc. The premise of this new series would not seem to promise a barrel of laughs—particularly when you consider that the hunter (Peter Horton, thirtysomething) must send the fugitives back to the hot place by shooting them in the eyeballs. Surprisingly, though, the drama works best when it chooses not to take itself seriously.
Last month's premiere found Horton trailing a demon disguised as a priest. The bogus cleric had been abducting and killing altar boys as part of a bizarre ritual linked to biblical prophecy. There were a few fleeting moments of levity (after 15 years down below, Horton was shocked to learn that baseball had adopted inter-league play), but they seemed out of place in a plot so gruesome. The next episode was easier to take because humor gained almost an equal footing with the requisite unpleasantness. John Glover, at his best when he brings a touch of camp to a villainous part (like his malevolent mogul in Gremlins 2: The New Batch), seemed to be warming to his role as the devil. "Everyone's in such a rush," he complained on a visit to earth. "I say, stop and smell the burning flesh of sinners." There's no telling how tolerable this show could become if Horton spruced up his grungy wardrobe and learned to smile when delivering the occasional bad pun.
Bottom Line: Erratic drama ranges from rather clever to awfully grisly
HBO (Sat, Nov. 21, 8 p.m. ET)
In print and on the radio, famed gossip columnist Walter Winchell had a slangy, hard-driving style that let people know he was always in the know and always on the go. Urgency, not depth, was his stock-in-trade. So the superficiality of this TV movie may be a form of faithfulness to its subject. Still, as he hustles through Winchell's career from the '20s to the '60s, director Paul Mazursky (Down and Out in Beverly Hills, An Unmarried Woman) leaves us hungry for more on what motivated the reporter to amass power through information and what spurred his progress from apparently nonideological New York City newshound to FDR cheerleader and anti-Nazi crusader to redbaiting Joe McCarthy booster. Stanley Tucci (The Impostors) is a crisp and cocky Winchell, and his mannerisms seem just right, but the film never delivers a great deal more than surface verisimilitude. And by adopting the point of view of the columnist's chief ghostwriter, Herman Klurfeld (Paul Giamatti, The Truman Show), Winchell only distances us further from the man himself.
Bottom Line: Worth watching, but something short of a sensational scoop
CBS (Mondays, 9:30 p.m. ET)
The Cheers bar closed back in 1993, but everybody still knows Ted Dan-son's name. CBS figures he has another hit sitcom in him, even if his Ink did dry up on the network two seasons ago. So here's Danson as John Becker, an abrasive but dedicated physician in general practice in New York City's borough of The Bronx. Becker is a little like the irascible old Brooklyn G.P. played by Paul Muni in the 1959 movie The Last Angry Man—except this doctor is middle-aged, tall and handsome.
If you happened to catch Danson several months ago in the Showtime drama Thanks of a Grateful Nation, you know he's fully capable of playing a man who's both principled and a royal pain. The problem with this new series (which premiered Nov. 2) is not the star's performance but the writers' unwillingness to take the character far enough. In the episodes we've seen, the doctor's diatribes have been directed at relatively safe targets: daytime talk shows, a bad driver, a noisy neighbor (okay, he did throw in a gratuitously nasty reference to the neighbor's immigration status). We laugh when Becker bluntly chastises a patient for his obesity or insults a would-be swinger seeking Viagra. But his devotion to an HIV-positive child (he even pays the bill for the boy's special treatment) is quickly advanced as evidence that this healer is a good guy underneath. And that pretty diner owner (Terry Farrell) who professes not to fancy regular customer Becker? It's all too clear she really does. The show would be better if the doc had more bite to go with his bark.

It takes a lot to faze Jennifer Aspen. A troubled pregnancy? No problem. Stripping? Ditto. The 27 year-old L.A.-based actress plays former dirty-dancer Daphne on FOX's sudser Party of Five. "But that's not the only thing Daphne does," says Aspen of her character. "She sold cheese in a mall too." Plus, she just gave birth to a girl, her child with Charlie Salinger (Matthew Fox).
Aspen became a semiregular on Party after guest spots on NYPD Blue and Beverly Hills, 90210. She has been acting since she first heard some music while sitting in detention at Santa Cruz High School in California. "I thought it was the cheerleaders, who I had a thing against because I always wanted to be one and I couldn't," says Aspen. It turned out to be students preparing to audition for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. She tried out, landed a lead role and has been succeeding in the-business ever since. Whether stripping or pretending to be preggers, her acting secret is preparation. Aspen studied Lamaze and is still reeling from a strip-club field trip she took to pick up pointers on Daphne's former profession. Says Aspen: "Those guys watching the strippers? Total morons!"

To the Editor.—
The reports by Van Putten et al1 and Levinson et al2 in the August 1990 issue of the Archives extend our knowledge of the appropriate dosages for neuroleptic medications in the treatment of psychotic illnesses.There are some unanswered questions that I hope the authors can address in greater detail. In both reports, the populations studied were largely black. This could provide specific answers to important treatment issues related to black patients diagnosed as schizophrenic. For instance, it has been reported that black patients respond to neuroleptic medications differently than white patients do.3 It has also been suggested that black patients may be misdiagnosed as schizophrenic at a significantly higher rate than white patients do. Jones and Gray4 say that this occurs primarily in black patients with bipolar disorders who are misdiagnosed as schizophrenic.Given these findings, were there significant racial differences in treatment

Crocheting is my latest obsession, and one thing that has really caught my eye on Pinterest, craft blogs and the wider internet is amigurumi. Have you seen this stuff? It is so cute, and the potential for geeky fun is enormous! For instance, check out Nerdigurumi (on youtube, too!). Also, just look at how much Star Wars Amigurumi you can buy on Etsy! This free Yoda Amigurumi pattern is pretty awesome, too. I have been resisting taking the plunge into amigurumi myself, because I have so many other projects already in progress. However, this weekend I couldn't wait any longer, and I had to buy Crobots by Nelly Pailloux. I am so glad I did! The little stuffed toys are so cute, from an adorable dogbot to a hilarious zombiebot to an awesome ninja. My 9 year old son is so enamored of the entire concept that he asked meRead more →By Quinn in Pulp Angels · Toys No comments yet

Dallas Comic-Con: Great Recipe, but Needed to Stay in the Oven a Bit Longer
I honestly had no idea what to expect when I rolled up to Dallas Comic-Con. I've been to a few comic expos in the DFW area and to A-kon and AnimeFEST numerous times, so I was expecting something akin to those in terms of turnout. Sure, DCC had some very big names appearing–Patrick Stewart, Stan Lee, and Kevin Conroy were the main headliners–but really, this shouldn't be any bigger than A-kon was in its heyday. Oh, how very wrong I was. It turns out that Comic Fans + Trekkies = need a bigger venue. The Irving Convention Center was really not well equipped to handle this many people, and it didn't help that the convention staff itself seemed very unprepared for how to deal with it as well. For starters, the parking situation was worse than abysmal. The center parking lot was already full two hours before the con start,Read more →
EA makes a smart move with Origin
Electronic Arts announced that they will be waiving distribution feeds on Origin for any developer that has a successfully crowd-funded, ready to publish PC game. This is INCREDIBLY smart of EA to take on. Origin will provide distribution services for free for 90 days after the games launch, giving the company a chance to let 12 million registered users know about their game. "Crowd-funded projects are like the 'people's choice awards' — a way for gaming fans to express what they want to buy and play," said Jane Jensen, President, Pinkerton Road. "It's great to see a big publisher like EA acknowledging that and opening up distribution opportunities for these games." One developer is already planning to release to the Origin subscribers: "I have had a long relationship with EA and it is great to see them recognize and support the crowd-funded games model," said Brian Fargo, CEO, inXile Entertainment.Read more →By GamingAngel in News No comments yet
Toonami is BACK on May 26th
Well Toonami fans, Adult Swim has answered your prayers. Returning on May 26th is the exciting block of action cartoons and anime. Adult Swim's April Fools Joke was to play their old Toonami block for one night which set the internet afire as fans told other fans resulting in no one sleeping. Now, Adult Swim has recently announced that the block will be returning. Toonami was one of the few sources for great anime back in the day. It showed the likes of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakasho, Outlaw Star, several Gundam titles, etc. Twenty-something anime fans probably owe quite a lot to Toonami and, now, we get to relive those sleepless Saturday nights of our youth. It is unsure if Toonami will run alongside the current Adult Swim programming, but we shall all find out on May 26. Just to add a bit of nostalgia, here isRead more →By ButerflySamurai in Pop Culture · TV No comments yet

To Lydia With Love, Two More Times
Kristen Nedopak, the hardest working woman on the web, currently has a plan to get two more Skyrim parody videos created to follow up her super successful Skyrim: To Lydia With Love video, and she needs your help to get them done! One of the main things Kristen talked about in her interview with us a while back was the need for community when trying to create your own content. Without community, it can be very difficult to get creator owned content not only made but finished and distributed for an audience to see. As Kristen is always more than willing to help out other creators with their projects, now's the perfect chance to return the favor and help her out a little with her projects. You don't have to be skilled in the art of Thu'um to help out, or even smithing or necromancing to help out (she's making itRead more →By Izebhel in Geek Women No comments yet
What to expect when you're expecting was unexpectedly emotional
This week we were treated to an early screening of What to Expect when you're Expecting. I met up with Carolyn from This Talk Ain't Cheap at the theater and we were treated to a glass of wine before the movie. What to Expect when your're Expecting is a well known book series that has been transformed into a movie. The movie covers various scenarios that women trying to get pregnant or not trying find themselves in. We see the scenarios from the character's viewpoints but there are also transitions where situations overlap. The movie follows five couples in Atlanta. All of them experience the highs and lows of pregnancy. The cast is incredible. Cameron Diaz,Jennifer Lopez,Elizabeth Banks,Dennis Quaid,Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, and the very hot,(yes you get to see him without his shirt on) Joe Manganiello. Rebel Wilson (from Bridesmaids) is also in the movie and sheRead more →By GamingAngel in Movies 3 Comments »
What to do when you are at work instead of playing Diablo III
Today many of us had to go to work while others played the sick card to play Diablo III. Although the day has not been kind to those that stayed home (Blizzard has had some server issues), we felt the need to offer advice for those of us that have to work 8 or more hours before we can go home and play. Hope that the servers let up by the time the clock hits 5pm and laugh when people complain of getting the Error 37 all day. Block hashtag #diablo3 or any variation of Diablo3 on Twitter Send out lots of emails so that everyone knows you came to work instead of calling in sick like half your friends list Wear a Diablo III or Blizzard shirt to be "that guy" today Refresh yourself on the story behind Diablo by reading up online.

Women in Games: Amanda McGinnis from Console to Closet
Amanda McGinnis shops around and finds the best outfits and accessories inspired by video game characters. Currently a junior English major in college, Amanda hopes to one-day work for a gaming publication, or become a community manager for a gaming community. In addition to keeping everyone up on gamer fashion Amanda founded Assassionista, a gaming blog. Here is my conversation with Amanda about her Tumblr, Console to Closet. Natasha: So, how did you come up with this idea? Amanda: I actually came up with this idea a few months ago, when I decided that I wanted to learn how to make jewelry. I had this idea that I could make jewelry that looked inspired by games for people who wanted to show their nerd pride, but still look fashionable. After one trip to Michaels, I realized I had no idea how to make jewelry. Fast-forward a few months, I wasRead more →By Natasha Schuyler in Women in Games 3 Comments »

According to sources on the Penguins side, the meeting happened four months ago at the Penguins' front-office headquarters in Chatham Center, Uptown. Mr. Lemieux, Mr. Burkle and Mr. Nutting were present, and the intent of the meeting was for the Penguins owners to offer to buy the Pirates. Mr. Burkle made a financial offer.
According to the Pirates, the purpose of the meeting was about another matter, and no serious discussion about an offer or sale took place.
The reasons Mr. Lemieux and Mr. Burkle would want to buy the Pirates will not be clear until they speak to that, though that is not expected soon, if at all.
One possibility, according to a source, is that a joint ownership of the Penguins and Pirates could create a business "synergy" that would allow one to pick up the other in tough times, and vice versa. It would help, the source added, that the NHL and MLB seasons have little overlap and that the teams currently.

When I was younger, one of the best restaurants in Huntsville, Alabama was The Fogcutter. I remember one evening I had plans to go there on a date when I found out Mama was making her Eye Of Round meal for supper that night. I actually called my date, had him cancel the reservations, and invited him to eat at our house instead!
Time to treat yourself and your family!
Ingredient list: Eye of round, coarse ground black pepper (or fresh ground in your pepper mill).
I like to line my dish with foil, but you don't have to. Generously sprinkle pepper on your roast.
I'm serious about the generous part here.
It should look like this. There, you've prepared your roast!
Now, stick this in an oven preheated to 500 degrees.
Bake 5 minutes per pound plus 10 minutes. Turn off oven - DO NOT OPEN OVEN for two hours. If it is a long eye of round, cut in half and place side by side in pan leaving a little space between the halves.
Slice, and serve! That's it!!! Seriously!!! I can't wait for you to try this.
Wanna see my new favorite thing?
My mother always used an electric knife to slice her eye of round.
I've never owned an electric knife and I had always assumed, whenever I thought about getting one, that they would be expensive. Well surprise, I got this electric knife with a really nice carrying case, for less than twenty dollars!!!
Eye of round is a tender roast, but difficult to cut. In the past, I have always used one of my knives and done it by hand. Doing this, though, yields thick slices that look somewhat "hacked". I was never able to get the gorgeous thin slices like my mother did. Oooh, I love my electric knife!
And you'll love this Eye Of Round!!
Sunday Dinner Eye Of Round
Eye of Round Roast
Cracked or Coarse Ground Pepper
Generously pepper roast. Place in pan lined with aluminum foil or sprayed with cooking spray. Place roast in preheated 500 degree oven. bake 5 minutes per pound plus 10 minutes. Turn off oven - DO NOT OPEN OVEN for two hours. If it is a long eye of round, cut in half and place side by side in pan leaving a little space between the halves.
Wow, was that a quick tutorial or what? Know what is just divine with this roast? Homemade Thousand Island Dressing on your dinner salads! For Southern Plate cookbook information, visit here.
Have a great day!

The classic "I'm With Stupid" T-shirts that point to whomever might be unfortunate enough to be standing next to the shirt's wearer may not be in style anymore, but we're willing to break them out in old-school fashion.
It seems T-shirts, or more precisely, what is on the shirts, have caused some to suffer from stupidity.
Texas Tech University took the right step this week in banning a controversial T-shirt made by a student that pokes fun at rival Texas A & M's canine mascot and the dog-fighting troubles surrounding NFLer Michael Vick.
Tech President Jon Whitmore dressed down the shirt, saying: "We will not permit individual students or any student organization to profit from selling merchandise on campus that is derogatory, inflammatory, insensitive, or in such bad taste that it reflects negatively on this fine institution, its students, athletic teams, alumni or faculty."
However, at Waxahachie High School, clothes may make the man, but not common sense.
Last month, school officials forced a sophomore to remove a T-shirt with the message "John Edwards 08."
The T-shirt may be campaign propaganda, but it is hardly in the same category as "Vick 'Em."
Dress codes are fine, as long as common sense is in the wardrobe.
Clothes that are a distraction to other students, contain obscene messages or reflect badly on the school should be banned, but don't leave leniency and logic on a hanger in the closet.

Your thoughts about the coming year could make you feel both hopeful and restless today. Perhaps because you might have some feelings of anxiety about what is to come and concern about where your immediate personal plans can take you, it may seem that your expectations about the future are looming large on your horizon. Reminding yourself to let go of your expectations today can help you realize that no matter how much you plan and prepare for what is to come, you have little control over the outcome. Should you find yourself worrying, you might tell yourself that whatever will happen, will happen. Creating a short affirmation, a phrase that you can repeat throughout the day, may make it easier for you to remember this and also help you feel better about what the future holds for you, for you may find pleasant surprises in the unexpected.
Releasing our expectations for the future makes us more tolerant of ambiguity and opens us up to the unforeseen. If we can keep in mind that our fears about the future not only take us out of the present but also cause a lot of unnecessary worry, we may find it easier to set our intentions and then release those intentions into the universe. By letting go of your expectations today, you will be able to concentrate on what is happening in your life now, and will also notice a greater sense of overall wellbeing and peace of mind.

UNESCO Club Lecture : Experimental preparation of a hydrogen water boat
The UNESCO Venice Office opens its doors to a UNESCO Club public conference featuring Hydrogen Park's intervention in the frame of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) 2005-2014.
The lecture on "Experimental preparation of a hydrogen water boat" will be convened at Palazzo Zorzi in Venice (Italy) on 18 November 2010, 4 pm. Invited speakers are : Gianni Perini - Direttore di Hydrogen Park; Raffaele Franco - Responsabile Marketing Scientifico e Coordinamento Progetti di Venezia Tecnologie SpA. With the participation of: Mario Scalet - Head Science Unit, UNESCO Venice office. Presentation by : Paolo Avrese - Delegato all'Ambiente – Sviluppo Sostenibile del Club Unesco Venezia.
Available the poster for download from right menu. For more information, visit the event page website (Italian) :
Extract of the "Hydrogen Park brochure" : a foreword by Luca Zaia, President of the Veneto Region
Research moves the development of a territory. And the research started by the Ministry of Environment and Protection of the Territory and Sea and the Veneto Region pertaining to hydrogen and its utilizations aims exactly at this goal.
Beginning with the initial idea of establishing a Hydrogen District at Porto Marghera, which has spurred also the establishment of the Hydrogen Park Consortium, the research projects subjects of this book were brought to life, which explains, analyses and looks to the future with the intentions of spreading how much the Region and the Ministry are doing for the enterprises and territory for innovation and outlook to the future.
Based on the 2005 Action Plan Agreement signed between the two institutions up to the definition of an Addendum in 2009, we have provided for the development of a series of new projects on production, distribution and use of hydrogen. The Objective: develop, by involving the business sector, the hydrogen technology necessary to special sectors and productive sites, starting with Porto Marghera where the first electric plant fuelled exactly by hydrogen has been built. Together with the technological development, the researches aimed at understanding how to overcome the legislative or safety problems that could hinder the development of hydrogen, a source of clean and useful energy. Just consider that the energy produced at Porto Marghera about 60 million of Kw per year, is capable of meeting the needs of 20,000 families, thus preventing the emission of over 17,000 tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Optimising production ad use of energy and reduce polluting emissions in the air are, however, the primary objectives of the Protocol of sharing the strategic lines for the upgrading and development of Porto Marghera. In order to achieve these objectives, the Region, through Veneto Innovazione S.p.A. will foster the support of public and private Companies and Institutions operating in these sectors.
Acquiring, developing and exporting new technologies open a broad range of opportunities for employment and development for the Veneto Region. And Porto Marghera, through the construction of a hydrogen plant by Enel and related research and development programme can represent a benchmark and incentive for the research in the energy field and build today, in Veneto, a new future.

Re: BKB Star. Presents: World Wrestling Entertainment 2006
Sorry this is so late, been very busy writing SMACKDOWN and NO MERCY. Anyway, enough excuses, lets get to it!!!
You set the scene wonderfully as the show opened. The commentators really did an exceptional job of hyping the show from the get go, using lines such as the most anticipated Raw in the history of the WWE. Your obviously setting the bar high. Im not to fond of gimmick matches, especially a first blood match, thats been given away on TV. Very TNA of you, as is the stipulation youve applied to the divas tag match. With Flair V Edge for the title Im not sure you needed a marquee match up such a Triple H V Kane, although this is 2006 and Kane is a glorified jobber to the top talent, so on second thoughts, no biggie.
Is Kurt turning face, I mean this is all very confusing. Kurt chasing Edge, the hell champion. Eric Bischoff, the heel GM, screwing around with Kurt and threatening him. All the heel dynamics work, but its just not as compelling because there isnt a face involved. Throwing Kurt with Triple and changing the originally announced match makes sense to me. Last week I mentioned how Kane and Show need to split and if you decide to do that, not having Kane squashed by Hunter tonight makes a lot of sense. Im trying to think logically here. Cena/Edge is the money match moving forward. Youve already made it clear that Angle is in the rumble match, so one would have to assume that something will happen with HHH and Angle tonight, yet theyre both heels. Ugh! Heels, heels everywhere not a face to cheer. LOL.
See this didnt work for me. Vince affording Michaels opportunities makes no sense. He despises Michaels, why would he want to give him motivation for his match up? Why would he want to give Shawn something to strive for when in essence Vince would like nothing more than for HBK to leave the WWE. Oh and in these situations, I cant get my head around the fact that Shawn appears so calm. Vince listed off the list of injustices he has put Shawn through and yet he doesnt react, doesnt act, fails to respond. I want more fight, more passion, more intensity. Its all to calm
I think I mentioned this when reviewing the last edition of RAW, but you do put yourself through a lot of unnecessary work and effort when you write out the superstars entrances and all the commentary before the matches. On a PPV its fine, but on a TV show it seems needless. Yes you use the commentators to get people over, create heat, build PPV matches, feuds and reinforce storyline points, but you can do that with a lot less writing IMO.
You played the opening match up well. Helms continues his winning streak and as The King said Benjamin cant buy a win. great line. I was more intrigued by the aftermath, then the match up itself. You really got across Sheltons frustrations and left us wondering what is Haas doing on RAW. I had forgotten Flair V Edge was a street fight. That coupled with a handicap first blood match just screams TNA. Its just to much for one show. In fact Id rarely book a street fight on TV, let alone a first blood match. Anyway, thats a personal preference, discard it if you wish.
I dare you to win the Royal Rumble may just use that myself it was so good, in the context of this particular promo of course. Edge is confident here, not so much cocky, which I like. In fact hes exuding confidence, in that he has himself already booked in the WM main event. The problem here is not the promo, it was good. Its the fact that Edge and Cena at the Rumble seems to be set in stone and even if Flair wins, which he may very well do, he drops it back to Edge next week. Thats the feeling I get from this promo.
Before I even read the last line I knew Mickie was listening in, exactly how I would of written it and it worked a treat. To be honest with you, I dont know how you can take this is a new direction. The WWE IRL did such a great job with the feud. Itll be tough.
Ugh! A first blood match goes on second, not on a PPV, but on a TV show. I know Im being hard on you mate, but really, I just dont understand the logic behind this. Why not a normal handicap match, wouldnt that of been enough. Unless it was going on as the main event, I would of left it gimmick free. If you had made it the main event on a show, make it a cage match, not first blood. With two other huge matches on this show, this got lost in the shuffle and the real importance of Shawns battle and win was overshadowed by the gimmick itself.
The more I think about it, the more I have to question Bischoffs decision earlier tonight. Distracting Angle by teaming him up with HHH for the big tag match and threatening to take the Rumble spot away, fine. But how does that stop Angle from interfering in the Main Event of taking out Edge? It doesnt really, does it? Shouldnt Eric of simply informed Angle that if he puts a finger on Edge hes out of the Rumble, it makes more sense. Anyway, back to HHH. You made the tag team match more interesting tonight by simply showcasing Hunters dislike for Angle, hatred in fact. Nice tease at the end, good writing.
Thank you so much Victoria is the number one contender! If you had Candice or Ashley get the pin I was going to scrap the whole review and hate you forever. LOL. Theres not a whole lot to say here. Trish and Victoria have always had great matches, so they should do alright at the Rumble.
This was a little homoerotic, with all the you need me crap. But the theme of the actual segment was abundantly clear. Benjamin needs Haas and Haas needs Benjamin in order to be successful. I dont agree, theyre both talented and could be huge stars, but from a storyline perspective and the way Benjamin has been booked of late, this works.
Interesting are you teasing the break up of Carlito and masters here? With me pushing you to split up Kane and Show, and you seemingly wanting to split these two up, RAW could be left with a weakened tag team division. Not that I care TBH.
Masters wins, but gets the assist from Carlito. Chavo looked good here, even though he lost. What was most insightful was the commentary after the match in which Masters was named one of the future stars of the company. Carlitos name was not on that list. There you have the foundations for a decent mid card feud between both Masters and Carlito. DO IT!!!
Wasnt that nice . Sarcasm aside, this was nicely done. RAW has become a land of individuals, no factions or friends. Everyone is out for themselves, everyone wants to climb the ladder to the top and those on the top will stop at nothing to prevent that from happening. So in this selfish place we call RAW, its nice to know that some superstars still care about each other. This was a nice contrast to everything that has gone before it on the show, a welcome change or mood and pace if you will. I liked it a lot.
You cant tell me theres no commercial between the tag team match and the main event? Edge spearing Angle worked for two reasons. One it kept all four men in the tag match looking strong and none of them had to the job, not that Triple H would of!!! Also it answers my question from earlier, in that Erics plan was flawed and Angle could still get to Edge tonight, but in a brilliant piece of booking, Edge got to Angle first.
This was epic. I mean Im not a fan of long matches on TV, as Ive already mentioned, but this main event worked on every level. It was hard not to scroll down and see who won, but I genuinely though Flair was going to do it, you made be believe in the impossible. When Cena came out I thought thats it Flair will win, but Edge turned it around. Just brilliant match writing and I for one am not afraid to say that I certainly would not of been capable of producing a TV match of that calibre. Nice save at the end, with edge being put through the table. It brings the focus back around to the Rumble and also intensifies what is already a hot feud.
OVERALL This review has taken over an hour, so Im not going into any more detail here. LOL. This was very good on a number of levels and although I didnt agree with certain booking decisions, they didnt detract from what was an entertaining (and very, very long hehe) show.

8 Sites In New York That Should Be LGBT Historical Landmarks
We all know about Stonewall Inn, but what about places that haven't been officially recognized?
The Greenwich Village Historical Society recently spoke out about how New York's Landmarks Preservation Committee has not officially established any LGBT-related sites as landmarks based on their LGBT history. "In truth, the LPC has never designated a single building in all of New York based primarily upon LGBT history, in spite of several requests to do so and ample opportunities in what is perhaps the premiere city in the world for modern LGBT history sites," writes GVHS. Many buildings with an LGBT history have not been recognized as national historical landmarks at all. Here are some that should be.
1. Edna St. Vincent Millay's House
75 Bedford Street
Edna St. Vincet Millay was an openly bisexual writer in the early- to mid- 1900's. She was the first woman to have won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Her home is thought to be the narrowest building in New York.
2. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center
208 West 13th Street
This old school building became the home of the LGBT Center in 1983, and it's still going strong. ACT UP and GLAAD both formed at the Center, and Kieth Haring painted a mural in one of the bathrooms.
3. The Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop
15 Christopher Street
The Oscar Wilde Memorial Bookshop was the first gay and lesbian bookstore. It was created in 1967, moved from 291 Mercer Street to 15 Christopher Street in 1973, and sadly closed in 2009.
4. Gay Activist Alliance Firehouse
99 Wooster Street
The Gay Activist Alliance split off from the Gay Liberation Front after the Stonewall Riots. They held their meetings in this Firehouse at 99 Wooster Street from 1971-1974, but an arson forced them to move.
5. Judson Memorial Church
55 Washington Square South
The beautiful Judson Memorial Church, located right on Washington Square Park, has historically been used for radical political groups, including LGBT groups, to organize, and it still is.
6. Daughters of Blitis's Meeting Spot
26-32 Charlton Street
The Daughters of Blitis was the first lesbian political rights organization in the United States, and they met at this location starting in 1963.
7. The Pyramid Club
101 Avenue A
The Pyramid Club opened in 1979, and helped create a drag scene in New York. Although it has been requested that it be considered a Historical Landmark, it is not as of yet. It is still open today.
8. Julius Bar
159 W 10th Street
Julius Bar is the oldest gay bar in New York. It opened in 1864, but refused to serve gay people until 1966, when activists staged a "sip-in" to challenge the laws that refused gays liquor. It worked, and Julius Bar is still open today.
- Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparred over ISIS, race, and Trump's unreleased taxes during the first US presidential debate 📢

As Rutgers prepares for its second-round game tomorrow in the Big East Tournament, coach C. Vivian Stringer candidly spoke about the state of her program Thursday.
In a nutshell, the sixth-seed Scarlet Knights (21-8, 10-6 in Big East) haven't won the Big East Tournament since the 2006-07 season — their only title — and are now looking up at teams they once dominated.
"There was a time when Georgetown wasn't of note to us," said Stringer, whose team faces the winner of tonight's opening-round game between Marquette and Cincinnati. "There was a time when St. John's wasn't of note to us. There was a time when West Virginia wasn't of note to us.
"Now, all of a sudden, we're the odd man out looking up. Quite honestly, I have a hard time getting used to it. I don't intend on getting used to it. We're in, without question, the toughest conference in the country."
How times have changes for the Scarlet Knights:
• Rutgers holds a 31-7 advantage in the all-time series against second-seeded St. John's but have lost four straight to the Red Storm, including two this season.
• Rutgers leads fourth-seed Georgetown 17-4 in the all-time series but was routed by the Hoyas 54-36 this season.
• The Scarlet Knights have a 39-13 edge in the all-time series against fifth-seed West Virginia but have lost three of the past four meetings.
Top-seed Notre Dame (three) and third-seed Connecticut (eight) have beaten Rutgers a combined 11 straight games.
"If we were not to get it done in the Big East (Tournament), with the path that we're on now, I think we can get there (eventually) and be okay," said Stringer, who has a second straight strong incoming freshman class.
"We always coach for the NCAAs. Wins don't make a lot of difference to me. It's how you play. I'm always (evaluating) us against the better teams."
This season, Rutgers, which reached the Final Four in 2006-07, is expected to earn its 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. It has lost in the first and second round, respectively, in the past two seasons.
"What I believe is we will show up and the people who believed we were as (good) as we were (No. 7 in mid-January), we can prove that," Stringer said.

Description: This Is Venice:
First published in 1961, presents indelible impressions of romantic, watery Venice, where under a brilliant blue sky Sasek the gondolier navigates the winding canals to visit such famous and glorious landmarks as the Palazzo Grassi, Piazza San Marco, Doges Palace, and the Accademia di Belle Arti.
This Is Greece
Like the other Sasek classics, this is a facsimile edition of the original, first published in 1966. The illustrations have been meticulously preserved and the facts updated for the twenty-first century. The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's playful narrative, make perfect souvenirs that will delight both children and parents. This is Greece captures the flavor and tradition of the birthplace of Western civilization. There's Athens, with its spectacular views of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, temples, theaters, and marketplaces; architecture-renowned Corinth; Mycenae, inhabited since 3000 B.C.; Olympia, home of the gods; Delphi, famous for its legendary oracle; and the beautiful isles. There's also modern-day Greece, where life is lived on street corners, in squares, and at tables amid reminders of the past.
This Is Rome:
First published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilization to bring to life the Rome of the 60's. Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of modern Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.

Teen Gives Birth and Dies From Cancer Days LaterMonica Bielanko
If you discovered you had cancerous tumors in your brain and spine would you seek possibly life-saving treatment? Of course. But what if the treatment that might save your life could end the life growing inside you?
For one 17-year-old Idaho woman, there was no question but that she'd avoid any treatment that might harm her unborn child.
As The Huffington Post reports, Jenni Lake gave brith to her son on November 9th. A day birth, Jenni's mother, Diana Phillips, learned that her daughter's decision to forgo treatment for tumors on her brain and spine so she could carry the baby would have fatal repercussions. The cancer had spread. It was too late.
Twelve days after her son was born, Jenni was dead.
Her mother later learned that while being checked into the hospital to give birth Jeni whispered to a nurse, "I'm done, I did what I was supposed to. My baby is going to get here safe."
Click to see photos of Jenni and her newborn baby son.
Jenni's declining heath is apparent in photographs of her holding a healthy baby boy after his birth. At 5'4″, Jenni only weighed 108 pounds at the end of her pregnancy.
Jenni learned she had cancer when she was a 16-year-old sophomore. A doctor found a small mass on the right side of her brain. A biopsy last year revealed Jenni had stage three astrocytoma, a type of brain tumor. With three tumors on her brain and three on her spine, Jenni was told her case was rare because the cancer had spread from her brain to another part of her body with no symptoms.
Lake was told that with treatment, she had a 30 percent chance to make it two years. Doctors also told the teen she might not be able to have kids. Jenni started aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, while also posting videos on a YouTube site titled "Jenni's Journey".
By March of this year, the tumors had started to shrink and Jenni was able to attend prom with her boyfriend, Nathan Wittman whom she had begun to date just weeks before receiving her diagnosis.
One morning shortly after prom Jenni took herself to the emergency room because she'd been throwing up and had a stomach ache. It was there that she learned she was 10 weeks pregnant.
"We were told that she couldn't get pregnant, so we didn't worry about it," said Nathan, 19. From the start of treatment, Lake was told that she might never have children, because the radiation and chemotherapy could make her sterile.
Although her doctor told Lake she would either have to terminate the pregnancy and continue treatments, or stop the treatments knowing the cancer could grow again. "
Jenni wouldn't even consider terminating the pregnancy.
"I guess we were just hoping that after she had the baby, she could go back on the chemotherapy and get better," her mother said.
Her family says Jenni didn't show regret for her decision, not even in the final weeks of pregnancy when she started to lose her vision as the cancer took over her body.
Jenni and Nathan named the baby Chad Michael, after their dads. Nathan has legal custody of the child, who is primarily cared for by Nathan's mother, Alexia Wittman, 51. She brings the baby to Jenni's house whenever the family asks.
The family marked this Christmas at their Pocatello home remembering Jenni who passed away in a bedroom down the hall. Her mother holds her grandson close and says, "I want him to know everything about her, and what she did."
Jenni's last words were about her son as he was placed beside her a final time. She felt for the baby and said: "I can kind of see him."

text: It's been changed 5 or 6 times already in the last two, three weeks, and my main concern at this point isn't balance but whether it could be playable at all. I mainly want not to cram the player's heads with numbers and constant check-ups on who does what to whom. It would be the battle system for a RTS-emulating board game I'm taking a whack at creating in my spare time. At this point it happens in three phases - Far, Medium and Close distance, starting with Far and moving through all three in turn. The units are also of three main types - Melee, Archer, Mage. Their current battle parameters are HP, Attack, Defence and the number of the turn they're allowed to take action. The last one refers almost exclusively to Mages, since I've decided they'd be too strong without a limitation like that. Each parameter except HP has 3 possible values depending on where the particular unit is fighting. (For some units all 3 might be the same, and for others they might diverge widely.) The battle starts with the players laying down a card face-down simultaneously. The number of cards they're allowed to lay down in a single turn is determined by a Leadership parameter, as is the total number of cards they're allowed to lay down during a phase (maximum of five). If a player chooses not to lay down a single card during a phase, the battle moves to the next phase.Any Archer or Mage placed before you've placed a single Melee unit is dubbed a "front-line" unit. Any of them placed after you have a Melee unit on the table are dubbed "rear-line" units. The first Melee unit you place is invariably a front-line unit. Other Melee units can be either front-line or rear-line, your choice. After you've placed your card(s) face-down, you turn them over and then, again simultaneously, choose actions for them. They can Attack, Defend, Wait or Change battle-lines. Only front-line melee units can Attack; Archers and Mages can attack from anywhere. Only rear-line units can defend, irrespective of type. If you wait, your unit is inactive until the next round of the phase. If you change battle-lines, you, um, change battle-lines. If a unit is being attacked while changing battle-lines from front to rear, it receives a "cover" from another front-line unit, which is a single free hit at the attacking enemy. The choice of attacking an enemy unit activates its "death-counter". It's usually equal to its HP and what it measures is the amount of turns after the current one that it would take to kill the critter. So if on turn 3 you attack a critter with HP = 7, it would take until turn 10 for it to be dead. If that critter is also attacking you, you compare both creatures' attack values. The positive difference is directly subtracted from the weaker critter's death-counter. Attack 5 vs. Attack 2 means three less turns for the Attack 5 critter to kill the Attack 2 critter. The stronger critter's death-counter is also running however, just without any penalties. If the critter is defending from your attack, you compare your attack to its defence. If Attack - Defence > 0, the difference is again subtracted from the weaker unit's death-counter, only this time divided by 2 (rounded down). If Defence - Attack > 0, the defending critter's death-counter is increased by the difference (no division). If you're being attacked by more than one enemy while attacking, the enemy Attack/your Defence comparison applies, only this time if the enemy's Attack is higher, the difference isn't divided by two. If you're being attacked by more than one enemy while defending, the difference is divided by two. If all attacks on a particular unit stop, its death-counter stops as well. You move on to the next turn of the phase where you check if any of your units have died, and then again you can lay down card(s) or not. At any moment when you choose the latter, you can't lay down any more cards during the current phase. When one side loses all its units in the current phase, the battle moves to the next one. The units which have survived could be placed directly face-up in the next phase although they won't be able to attack until turn 2. Or any number of them could be "retreated" and not used in the next phase. Apart from unit-cards you could use spells at any point in any phase as long as you have the resources to do it. Also you can plop you Leader unit (the guys/gals with the aforementioned Leadership parameter) on the battlefield without warning at any point, with the catch that you can't retreat it. (They're not so irreplaceable though, so you can basically afford the risk sometimes.) And that's basically it. No dice used unless a unit has a special ability that's tested with a 1d6 throw. I've tried to use numbers as small as possible and to take it very easy on the math in the resolve phase. The three phases help in the sense that a smaller number of units takes part in each so it's less stuff to remember as opposed to a single phase with a bigger number of units jostling for the player's attention. Also the three types of distance broaden the design space I'd say. So, what do you think?

Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture down one side of dough. Using the corn husk as your guide, fold husk over tamale, being sure to cover filling with dough; fold over 1 more time. Fold bottom end of husk under. Place tamale, seam side down, on the rack of a broiler pan lined with a damp towel. Repeat procedure with remaining husks, Basic Masa Dough, and filling. Cover filled tamales with another damp towel. Pour 2 cups hot water in the bottom of a broiler pan; top with prepared rack.
5. Steam tamales at 450° for 55 minutes, adding water as necessary to maintain a depth of about 1/2 inch. Let tamales stand 10 minutes.
6. To prepare cream, combine sour cream and remaining ingredients, stirring well. Serve with tamales.
