- The eroge Nursery Rhyme (which hasn't been animated) is best known for its opening theme, "True My Heart", and certainly not for any originality — in fact, it's because the song is a generic eroge opening theme. This made it the perfect song for Fan Vids depicting random anime that might have an Improbably Female Cast or a large portion of schoolgirls as Harem Series and removing their plots.

Albert Rizzi, who is legally blind, was booted from a US Airways plane at Philadelphia International Airport Wednesday night after his guide dog, Doxy, became restless during a flight delay. Fortunately for the Long Island man, fellow passengers jumped to his defense.
"I cannot believe this," Rizzi posted on his Facebook page Thursday.
"I was removed from the plane that I was supposed to be on to go home from Philadelphia because my dog couldn't sit in a spot for an hour and a half on the tarmac such a joke. So now I am in Philadelphia trying to figure out what I'm going to do to get home. I have never been so annoyed flying US Airways all year and this is the way the stewardess' [treat me]!"
In a statement to ABC 6, US Airways said that Rizzi "became disruptive and refused to comply with crew member instructions when the flight attendant asked him to secure his service dog at his feet." The company added, "As a result of his disruptive behavior, the crew returned to the gate and removed Mr. Rizzi and his service dog from the flight."
By one witness's account, everyone on board seemed sympathetic to Rizzi's situation and voiced their support.
"When we, the passengers, realized what was going on, we were, like, 'Why is this happening? He's not a problem. What is going on?'" Frank Ohlhorst told ABC 6. "And we all kind of raised our voices and said, 'This is a real problem.' The captain came out of the cockpit and he basically asked us all to leave the aircraft."
The flight was canceled and Rizzi, Doxy and the flight's other passengers were transported to Long Island via bus.
Rizzi told ABC 6 he appreciated the solidarity of his fellow flyers.
"These people, all of them, got on a bus and drove 3 and a half hours from Philadelphia," he said. "They could have stayed on the plane, but they chose not to. I'm so humbled."

Last week's Federal Trade Commission hearings on the journalism industry
beg raise the question: Just what should the U.S. federal government be doing, if anything, to help the journalism industry?
Now, before the libertarians within online news community fire up their torches for my march to the stake, hear me out.
OJR's David Westphal last week detailed the many ways that government has, uh, helped the news business in the past. Perhaps subsidies of that sort can continue in the future. But I see two, much larger, steps that the government can take that would help ensure a more stable and diverse journalism industry, one that would have the financial ability to fund more in-depth reporting over a longer period of time that today's newspapers and emerging website can support.
Ready? Here goes.
#1: Raise taxes on the rich. A lot
I've insisted for some time now that the problem facing the news industry isn't the Internet, and the competition that this new medium has unleashed upon newspapers and broadcasters. Plenty of businesses have found ways to profit online, even ones that provide news and community information.
Nor did the Internet catch newsrooms by surprise. News organizations a decade ago saw a more competitive future approaching, and they have employed over the years many visionaries who tried to show them the way to build websites and services that would have allowed them to retain both their audience [the people who read or watch] and their customers [the people who pay, e.g. advertisers].
So why didn't they? That tragic phrase: "We have a fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders." In English: "We can't spend any money on anything that might pay off tomorrow. We have to maximize our income today. Even if that means putting the company's future at risk."
Why are investors so myopic? Take a look at this table, which lists the highest marginal federal income tax rates over the years, and the income level at which they applied. There's a nice graphical representation of this data at fivethirtyeight.com, as well.
(Don't forget the effect of inflation on those threshold numbers. That $400,000 in 1960 is the same as an income of $2,921,311 in 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The $200,000 threshold from 1976 would be the same as one of $759,849 today.)
Punitive tax rates change the calculus of investing and income management. Why maximize short-term gains if the government's just gonna take it all in taxes?
So people don't. Instead, they start looking for investments that will provide stable (though lower) income over a longer term. Throw in a transaction tax on every stock trade, as well as restoring a punitive tax bracket for earners netting more than a million a year, and the government could sharply reduce the pump-'n-dump speculation that cripples managers' attempts to build anything for the long haul.
Take another look at those tax rates. The so-called glory days of U.S. journalism, with Watergate and full-funded newsrooms, correlates with the higher tax rates of the 60s and 70s. When the government did away with top tax rates in the 1980s, that's when we began to see short-term attitudes reach a tipping point in the industry, leading to frequent layoffs and cutbacks (which predated the Web, by the way, for those of us with longer memories.)
On the broadcast side, couple the change in income tax rates with FCC decisions not to hold stations' feet to the fire on public service programming, and network newsrooms became profit centers, expected to add to the corporate bottom line, not detract from it.
Even today, I've spoken privately with many would-be news entrepreneurs who fear soliciting outside investment in their projects, for fear that they would lose control to short-term investors who would gut their efforts for an immediate payday, instead of having the patience to grow a community over time. (I'll fess up that I share this attitude toward my projects, as well.)
Jack up the tax rates and watch attitudes change. (Bear in mind that I am not advocating a tax increase on lower- and middle-class incomes, anything under $250,000 a year for a married couple filing jointly. In fact, I'd prefer to see payroll taxes folded into the income tax, with a cap on payroll taxes permanently lifted, which could effectively reduce tax rates for many self-employed middle-income individuals.)
Even with a more long-term focus, there will remain plenty of investors and managers who above the punitive tax rate threshold. They will be looking for places to take a loss, to ensure that their money goes where they want it to go, rather than to the U.S. Treasury.
Let's put it this way: In which environment would you rather be trying to enlist supporters who would fund a new local online newsroom, one that would employ a handful of potentially expensive investigative reporters, with tight local advertising margins making it difficult for the project to stay in the black?
One where investors, enjoying no increase in marginal tax rates as their incomes reache seven figures, were looking for projects that returned immediate large profits off their investment? Or one where investors, trying to avoid crippling marginal tax rates on high income, were looking for places to dump profits from their other investments – the bigger the loss the better?
I thought so.
#2: End employer-provided health insurance
Again, in speaking privately with the many potential news entrepreneurs I've met with over the past several years, I've heard one reason cited more than any other why they don't make the jump into starting their own news business.
They don't want to lose their employer-provided health insurance. Trust me, I feel this pain. Buying health insurance as an individual, you have none of the protection that subscribers to group plans enjoy, including protection against being dropped for undisclosed or even undiscovered pre-existing conditions. I haven't seen a doctor in two years, in part due to fear that if a physician finds something wrong with me, even if trifling, it might lead our insurer to drop my family's plan, leaving my kids without coverage.
Most companies selling individual policies also enjoy near monopolies in their local markets [PDF], allowing them to increase rates at will. My provider increased our premiums 36 percent this year, even before it had paid a penny in benefits to us.
Health insurance are the "golden handcuffs" that bind journalists to corporate newsrooms, depriving the industry of a richer diversity of journalist-led publications. Worse, the need to hold on to those health benefits makes journalists risk-averse, afraid of doing anything innovative that might make them a target in the next, inevitable round of lay-offs, should their initiative fail.
From a corporate perspective, paying for health benefits becomes an effective tax on each job created or maintained. Health insurance premiums tip the scales away from hiring (or retaining) full-time employees in the United States to do the work the business needs done. Not having to pay for health benefits makes it that much easier for a business to justify outsourcing or automating work, even if it doesn't rise to the same level of quality as that done by local employees.
Change the system and take employer benefits off the table, and, again, the calculus of employment changes. Someone would still need to pay for health care – whether it be the government, through a single-payer system paid for by general taxes, or individuals, through privately purchased insurance. But it wouldn't be employers paying for each job they created or maintained, potentially encouraging them to create (or at least, maintain) additional positions. More reporters = more coverage of their communities.
Benefits would be decoupled from employment, as well, allowing employees to leave or change jobs without having to think about health insurance. That would enable many more frustrated newsroom employees to make the jump into entrepreneurship, increasing the number of new, innovative approaches to the journalism business being tried in the field.
By now, you've likely figured out that neither of my suggestions has anything to do, specifically, with journalism. They're general suggestions to improve the quality of long-term business investment, and hiring, throughout the economy.
That there lies my point. The government should quit worrying about saving specific industries and, especially, companies – whether they be Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Gannett or News Corp.
Instead, the government should devote its attention to saving the economy, creating a more healthy environment in which forward-thinking companies can grow and would-be entrepreneurs can have a chance to succeed without having to resort to pump-'n-dump tactics.
Do those things, and journalism will find its own way.

As I said, fruit, and if you tolerate them(remember to cook them thoroughly) then starches. How much of each only you can say. You may need to track for a while.
You need to forget the carbs/sugar=fat thing. If you want em, eat em. Fat intake may have to be reduced slightly.
Thanks everyone! Good advice. I'll keep carbs moderate, and as I enjoy and digest fruit best, I think I'll include more fruit than starch- but what I'm taking away mostly is that I need carbs when I feel I need them. Listening to my body....hmm.... how novel.

Fox News Host Tells Female Victims of Violence to 'Make Better Decisions'
Posted on Dec 6, 2012
Former Bush administration White House press secretary Dana Perino has some advice for female victims of violence: In order to avoid getting hurt, "make better decisions." The co-host of Fox News' "The Five" made the eyebrow-raising, victim-blaming remark Wednesday during a segment about Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Javon Belcher, the NFL player who allegedly murdered his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself last weekend.
Another host argued that tragedies like this could be avoided if women involved in domestic violence situations had guns.
"I think it skirts the issue. Women are victims of violence all the time," said Perino.
Co-host Greg Gutfeld responded, "[They] should have guns!"
"Well, maybe, or make better decisions," she replied.

Business offers nap time for employees
Workers at NJ firm can sign up for rest in special room
Ever feel like taking a nap at work? At some businesses, you can.
Nationwide Planning Associates Inc., of Paramus, N.J., lets employees sign up for 20-minute sessions in a remodeled closet that contains a recliner, fountain and bamboo rug. According to an article in the Asbury Park Press, some workers said they no longer need coffee to get a restorative boost at work.
James Colleary, 27, a compliance principal at the investment firm, helped convince management that a nap room would help reduce employees' fatigue. He said he had an internship at a bank that had a nap room, but it was poorly designed, with room for three people and no assigned times.
Colleary compiled data on the benefits of napping and then convince the firm to spend as much as $10,000 on setting up the nap room.
According to a 2011 poll by the National Sleep Foundation, about 43 percent of Americans ages 13 to 64 said they rarely or never get a good night's sleep on weeknights. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said fatigued workers are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and depression, the newspaper reported.

It looks as if the Democratic field is clear for State Sen. Barbara Buono to take on Republican Gov. Christie in New Jersey's gubernatorial election in November.
Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D., Gloucester), considered a possible contender, wants to focus on maintaining a Democratic hold of the Legislature, he said in a statement issued Monday.
"Is there any question about the havoc and pain a Republican Legislature would inflict on the middle class, labor, women, and our seniors?" Sweeney said. "For over a decade, New Jersey voters have ensured we have a strong Democratic majority in both houses, and I view it as absolutely essential and my job is to keep that streak going."

Police Beat
by Richard Matros
On Dec. 1, near the 15300 block of NE 201st, unknown suspect(s) cruised the neighborhood spray painting and splashing paint remover on several vehicles. A satellite dish was also spray painted with swastikas and foul language. Total estimated damage was listed at $3,500.
On Dec. 1, near the 17300 block on NE Woodinville-Duvall Road, a resident reported he heard something outside. He said he looked out and saw a dark Nissan pickup spinning "donuts" in his driveway. He ran outside and observed two other vehicles "doing double duty" in his pasture. The victim got in his truck and proceeded to give chase. The three vehicles fled eastbound on Woodinville-Duvall Road into the Bridle Trails area, where they split up. One vehicle had a temporary license plate, which the driver removed from the window during the chase. Another license plate was recorded after the suspect had turned down a dead-end street. The victim returned home and called 911. The suspects' vehicles were described as "totally covered in mud."
On Dec. 6, telephone threats were made to a local medical facility by a patient who said he felt he was incorrectly diagnosed. The patient said he wanted his original records and reportedly stated, "If I have to come down by gunpoint, I will." The victim reported that the suspect's voice was slurred and sounded as if he were intoxicated.

For the past 15 years a unique group has been playing baseball on Sundays and Tuesdays at H.C. Mines Field in Howland.
The Delphi Baseball Team consists of 26 of the happiest players in baseball. Though the players have mental disabilities, they know how to have fun.
During the team's short two-month season they play about a dozen games with two innings each. Players can have as many chances to hit the ball as they need, and to be fair each player gets to bat twice per inning.

Cindy Drotleff bats during Sunday's game.
This may not be as competitive as most baseball teams, but the players know that you don't have to have a major competition to have fun. They are always enthusiastic and love playing just for the sake of the game. The rules may not be the most important thing in this game, but the players understand the true spirit of baseball.
The team was created by the Rupinsky family when they realized how much fun baseball could be for everyone. "It started with my son, who always enjoyed watching his siblings play ball," said Barb Rupinsky. "It was his time to shine," she added. Barb and her husband George coach the team to this day, along with Vincent Flask.
The team is generously sponsored by Delphi plant 47, which provides the team's shirts. The Howland Athletic Association lends the use of the field to the players and student volunteers from John F. Kennedy High School come to each game to help collect bats and catch balls.
"Working with the players is always the highlight of my week. I have so much fun just watching and having conversations with the players," said Kate Groner, a senior at JFK who has been volunteering with the Delphi Baseball Team for six years. "They truly are the nicest and most amazing people I've ever met."
Players love the chance to get some exercise and make new friends. They especially look forward to their "Under the Lights" game at Burbank Park each year, which is hosted by the Warren Athletic Club. This year's game will be at 8 p.m. next Friday evening.

When Doug Helms joined Atlantic Southeast Airlines as a pilot in 1979, the newly founded airline had just one plane – a 19-seat DeHavilland Twin Otter – and one route – Atlanta-Columbus, Ga. Capt. Helms, Atlantic Southeast's most senior pilot, has been here for nearly every milestone in our company's history, flown the captain's seat of nine aircraft, and spent 14 years in leadership positions, some of which overlapped his 10 years spent in our Flight Operations Training department.
Today, 32 years after flying his first Atlantic Southeast flight, Capt. Helms completed his final flight before starting his retirement. As Capt. Helms and his crew taxied to the gate in Atlanta, the CRJ900 aircraft in his command was met with a water cannon salute, an honor bestowed by the City of Atlanta Department of Fire Rescue. And as he exited the aircraft, he was greeted by a group of his peers, some of whom he has worked with since the "early days" of Atlantic Southeast, gathered to celebrate this milestone in his life.
One of those peers is Chief Pilot Randy Cash, who said, "Doug is the epitome of what a captain should be."
Randy's feeling about Capt. Helms is echoed by countless others at our airline, and for many, he has served as a role model for developing aviation professionals.
"He inspires me to be a great captain," said Josh Laminack, who served as the first officer on Capt. Helm's final flight.
As Capt. Helms departs for his next endeavor, we want to congratulate and thank him for his 32 years of service and dedication to Atlantic Southeast!
Below are just a few of the kind words our people had to say about Capt. Helms in response to a story posted about his retirement on our company intranet:
"Thanks for passing along wisdom from all your experiences. You've been a great example for the pilots of the next generation to follow."
"Atlantic Southeast has been incredibly fortunate that you not only chose to come work here, but to make a career here."
"You have given all of us many fond memories, education and stories to share for years to come."
"You always come to mind when someone asks what it is to be a true professional."
"You sir, have held command, and responsibility that goes with it, in the highest regard."
"It has been a great pleasure knowing and flying with you all these years."
"We are a better airline because of your qualities as a human being."

Computers & Business Machines
Imagine the loss, 100 years from now, if museums hadn't begun preserving the artifacts of the computer age. The last few decades offer proof positive of why museums must collect continuously—to document technological and social transformations already underway.
The Museum's collections contain mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers, and handheld devices. A Cray2 supercomputer is part of the collections, along with one of the towers of IBM's Deep Blue, the computer that defeated reigning champion Garry Kasparov in a chess match in 1997. Other artifacts range from personal computers to ENIAC, the Altair, and the Osborne 1. Computer components and peripherals, games, software, manuals, and other documents are part of the collections. Some of the instruments of business include adding machines, calculators, typewriters, dictating machines, fax machines, cash registers, and photocopiers

Ethernet Prototype Circuit Board
- Description
- This Ethernet board is a prototype developed by Robert Metcalf in 1973 while at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Metcalf based his idea for the Ethernet on the ALOHAnet, a packet-switching wireless radio network developed by Norman Abramson, Frank Kuo, and Richard Binder at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. The ALOHAnet sent computer data communication between the university's campuses on several islands. Metcalf improved upon ALOHAnet's design and created the "Alto ALOHA Network," a network of computers hard-wired together by cables that he soon called the Ethernet. In 1985, the Ethernet became the

Patients with access to notes written by their physicians feel more in control of their care and report a better understanding of their medical issues, improved recall of their care plan and a greater likelihood of taking their medications as prescribed, according to a study.
Physicians participating in the OpenNotes trial at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Geisinger Health System in Danville, Pa., and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle reported that most of their fears about an additional time burden and offending or worrying patients did not materialize, and many reported enhanced trust and communication with their patients.
"Patients are enthusiastic about open access to their primary care doctors notes," Tom Delbanco, MD, a co-first author of the study and a primary care physician at BIDMC, said in a news release.
Delbanco, also the Koplow-Tullis Professor of General Medicine and Primary Care at Harvard Medical School, said more than 85% of patients reported reading the notes and 99% of those completing the survey wanted continued access to their visit notes.
"Open notes may both engage patients far more actively in their care and enhance safety when the patient reviews their records with a second set of eyes," Delbanco said.
Jan Walker, RN, MBA, co-first author of the study and a principal associate in medicine in the Division of General Medicine and Primary Care at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School, said a key finding was that a substantial number of patients reported becoming more likely to take medications as prescribed. "And in contrast to the fears of many doctors, few patients reported being confused, worried or offended by what they read."
The findings reflect the views of 105 primary care physicians and 13,564 of their patients who had at least one note available during a year-long voluntary program that provided patients at an urban academic medical center, a predominantly rural network of physicians and an urban safety net hospital with electronic links to their doctors notes.
Of 5,391 patients who opened at least one note and returned surveys, between 77% and 87% reported open notes made them feel more in control of their care, with 60% to 78% reporting increased adherence to medications. Only 1% to 8% of patients reported worry, confusion or offense. Three of five felt they should be able to add comments to their doctors notes, and 86% agreed that availability of notes would influence their choice of providers in the future.
Among physicians, a maximum of 5% reported longer visits, and no more than 8% said they spent extra time addressing patients questions outside of visits. A maximum of 21% reported taking more time to write notes, while between 3% and 36% reported changing documentation content.
No physician elected to stop providing access to notes after the experimental period ended.
"The benefits were achieved with far less impact on the work life of doctors and their staffs than anticipated," Delbanco said. "While a sizeable minority reported changing the way their notes addressed substance abuse, mental health issues, malignancies and obesity, a smaller minority spent more time preparing their notes, and some commented that they were improved."
Walker suggested that so few patients were worried, confused or offended by the note because "fear or uncertainty of whats in a doctors black box may engender far more anxiety than what is actually written, and patients who are especially likely to react negatively to notes may self-select not to read them.
"We anticipate that some patients may be disturbed in the short term by reading their notes and doctors will need to work with patients to prevent such harms, ideally by talking frankly with them or agreeing proactively that some things are at times best left unread."
The study appears in the Oct. 2 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine and is available at http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1363511.

April 12, 1993
With smoke machines swirling vapors and booming speakers grinding a sultry '70s dance mix ("Oooh, ooh, how do you like it?"), the scene at the high-gloss fashion shoot in a midtown Manhattan nightclub is all synthetic smolder and sex. But even behind the camouflage of all that manufactured heat, it's obvious that there's something simmering at its vortex: a zaftig platinum blonde – all 5 ft.11 in., 155 lbs. of her.
Anna Nicole Smith, 25, has won one of the most coveted contracts in modeling: the job of Guess jeans superbody, most recently filled by Claudia Schiffer. What's more, after two appearances in Playboy last year, she's up for 1993's Playmate of the Year, and is making an indelible mark on the world of Skinny-Minnie modeldom. "She brings back visions of Hollywood glamour," says Guess photographer Daniela Federici. "We haven't seen that kind of charisma since Marilyn Monroe."
That analogy may be more apt than Federici knows. A young woman from a knockaround background who just four years ago was a $60-a-week Wal-Mart checkout girl in Mexia, Tex., Smith is finding a real sweetness in her success. "I finally feel like I'm becoming somebody," she says. "I really think like I can do something."
The child of a father she never knew and a mother, Virgie, who worked as a police officer, Smith was closest with her Aunt Kay Beall, whom she calls Mama II. "Anna was my pet," says Beall, a former attendant at a state school for mentally ill children. "She used to come over and stay with me and clean my house. I'd give her five dollars of my food stamps to let her go to the store and get some candy." Smith quit school after 11th grade and, at 17, married a 16-year-old cook at the chicken shop where she worked. "He was sweet and he was so cute back there, cookin' chicken," she says.
When that relationship died a year after the birth of her son, Daniel, now 7, Smith barely made ends meet until 1991, when a boyfriend convinced her to try out, reluctantly, for Playboy. Posing nude, she says, went against her nature. "There were all these people in the room," she says. "But I wouldn't open my legs or nothing. I never used to even let my boyfriend have on the lights when we were in bed. I didn't want him to see my body or anything."
After appearing on the March 1992 cover of Playboy, Smith was spotted and signed by Guess president Paul Marciano. "I didn't know what Guess jeans were," she says. "I just shopped at Wal-Mart and Kmart and stuff like that." Now, with her substantial Guess earnings, she has bought a four-bedroom contemporary house in Houston, three horses and two cars and hired a nanny to help care for Daniel. "He's my baby, but I'm trying not to spoil him," she says. "He answers me with 'Yes, ma'am,' but he can't have sugar and Cokes because he's hyper."
When not on assignment, "I slob out big-time," says Smith. "I hate makeup. It feels like dirt on me." And in spite of her newfound fame, she has remained her own woman – in more ways than one. "Anyone who looks at my body size knows this is all me," says Smith, who has been losing weight. "I'm down to a 34 D and 37 hips. I don't get on scales, but my bras have been shrinking. I've even started working out for the first time in my life, but I forget most of the time."
Not surprisingly, her candor doesn't always endear her to the more sylphlike competition. Other models, she says, "just don't talk to me. They give me snarly looks."
"I know why," volunteers Aunt Kay. "She's prettier than them. The girls stand in huddles together and won't let her in." Men, on the other hand, "you've got to beat off," says Kay. "They whistle and yell, but Anna just keeps on going."
Currently without a boyfriend ("I don't need one right now. I'm practicing on a career"), this month Smith makes a brief screen debut with Paul Newman and Tim Robbins in the forthcoming comedy The Hudsucker Proxy. She has, like the young Norma Jean, set her sights firmly on Hollywood. "I just know I'm going to be an actress. I want it so bad. I've tried so hard my whole life. I'm kindhearted, and I give, give, give," she says. "I think maybe it's my time to receive."

The Tampa Bay Lightning still are struggling to get star forward Steven Stamkos under contract. We've put together this slideshow to discuss why the Lightning should consider this not an "if" situation, but a "when."
The Lightning must keep Stamkos—they know it, Steven knows it—and it's probably what's taking so long to get this thing resolved.
