1. I am legally competent to enter into a contract in the jurisdiction in which I reside. I further understand that I am contracting with Rejuvenetics, LLC (hereinafter the "Company" or "Rejuvenetics"), for the promotion of certain sales as described below.
2. I will become a Rejuvenetics Product Distributor (hereinafter "Executive Entrepreneur") upon acceptance of this application by the Company.
3. I understand that I will face commission withholding per the IRS guidelines if a Tax Identification Number (Social Security Number or EIN) is not provided.
4. If I desire to terminate this Agreement, I will deliver to the company a written notification of my intent to terminate. Such notice will also automatically terminate my contract with Rejuvenetics, LLC. My voluntary termination will be effective as of the date such notice received by the Company. A Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur may resign at any time for any reason.
5. As a Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur, I am an independent contractor and not an employee, partner, agent, franchisee or legal representative of the Company. I agree that I am solely responsible for my compliance with any and all laws or regulations related to my status in any jurisdiction exercising authority over me, including but not limited to compliance with applicable regulations and the Rejuvenetics Policies and Procedures.
6. Although the Company may assist me in becoming aware of applicable laws, rules and requirements, the sole responsibility to conduct my Executive Entrepreneurship lawfully in any jurisdiction rests with me. Therefore, I release the company and any of its officers, directors, agents and employees from all liability for any of my conduct, actions or omissions; I also waive any claims or causes of action which I (or others acting in my interest) may have occasion to assert respecting my status or conduct as a Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur, arising out of any of my acts or omissions.
7. I understand that only Executive Entrepreneurs in good standing (as such status is determined by the Company) may act as sponsors. The Company, at its sole discretion, may reject this Agreement for any potential Executive Entrepreneur without disclosing any reason therefore. If this Agreement is not accepted or approved, I release the Company and any affiliated entity and their officers, directors, agents, advisors and employees from any and all liability incurred by me or by any other person. I waive any associated claim(s) that might be asserted in my interest.
8. I understand that commissions from the Company are established by my participation in the Rejuvenetics Commission Plan. I am entitled to receive Executive Entrepreneur benefits and opportunities offered to Executive Entrepreneurs through the Rejuvenetics Compensation Plan provided I maintain an Executive Entrepreneurship that operates in the compliance with Rejuvenetics Policies and Procedures, and the Terms and Conditions stated herein The Rejuvenetics Compensation Plan and its commissions relating to the sale or other output derived from personal sales, solicitations or orders from consumers are privileges of my status as an active Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur in good standing.
a. Commissions on orders for sales inside the United States: Executive Entrepreneur has the responsibility to promote the sale of Rejuvenetics products within the United States. To the extent that commissionable sales occur where Rejuvenetics products are delivered for distribution inside the United States or its territories, commissions on those sales, under the Rejuvenetics Compensation Plan will be the legal responsibility of and will be paid by Rejuvenetics, LLC.
b. Commissions on Orders for Sales outside the United States: It is permissible for the Executive Entrepreneur to promote the sale of Rejuvenetics products internationally. Export to authorized territories must be in accordance with U.S. Department of State and import laws of the receiving country. All orders placed for overseas shipment must receive prior company authorization before order is shipped. To the extent that commissionable sales occur where Rejuvenetics products are delivered for distribution outside of the United States or its territories, commissions on those sales under the Rejuvenetics Compensation Plan will be the legal responsibility of and will be paid by Rejuvenetics, LLC. Nevertheless, for administrative convenience, commissions paid under the Compensation Plan generally should be issued on a single check or similar instrument or transaction combining for the convenience of the Executive Entrepreneur the commissions earned by both U.S. and non-U.S. sales. Rejuvenetics reserves the right to reject any order at its sole discretion.
9. Executive Entrepreneur agrees not to make any unsubstantiated product claims, and will sell products using information produced by Rejuvenetics, and according to FDA guidelines.
10. I understand that as a Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur, I am authorized to sell Rejuvenetics products. I agree that I may not alter, repackage, re-label or otherwise change any Rejuvenetics product, nor will I sell any such product under any other name, nor will I discount or sell through internet sites not authorized by Rejuvenetics.
11. I understand and agree that I may not convey, assign or otherwise transfer any rights arising hereunder without the prior express written consent of the Company. All intellectual property shall remain the property of Rejuvenetics.
12. I agree that I may not create or hold a beneficial interest in additional Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneurship(s) beyond the indirect benefits that are derived from sponsoring and downline volume.
13. In the event I choose to purchase Rejuvenetics products on my credit card or banking debit card, my signature on this Agreement hereby constitutes my authorization to process any order I place to those accounts, and to use this as my 'signature on file." I understand that any cancellation of an order placed by me shall be made within three business days of the placement of a particular order, but all shipping and handling charges incurred will be billed.
14. Other than this Agreement, no other promises, representations, guarantees, or agreements of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both me and an authorized agent of the Company. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
15. I certify the accuracy of all information provided by me in this Agreement and agree that the providing of false or misleading information authorizes the Company, at its election, to declare this Agreement void from its inception.
16. I understand that if I choose any payment plan option, the entire balance must be paid in full by the end of the term. If all payments are not met in full by the end of the term my business will be put on hold for a 30-day grace period. During the 30-day grace period I will not be paid any commissions. If the grace period ends and I have not paid the balance, Rejuvenetics will remove me from their systems. I will not be allowed to re-apply to Rejuvenetics for a period of 1 year. Rejuvenetics reserves the right to collect all balances owed to Rejuvenetics that are unpaid.
17. The Company agrees to provide quality Rejuvenetics products, so long as the Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneur complies with this Agreement and the Rejuvenetics Policies and Procedures.
18. I understand that commission benefits of my purchases and personal points go to the sponsor/placement listed on this form and other Rejuvenetics Executive Entrepreneurs under the rules of the Rejuvenetics Commissions Plan, as published in the Rejuvenetics Policies and Procedures.
19. I certify the address submitted by me for the purposes of this Agreement shall be my correct address for notification. I must notify Rejuvenetics of my address change.
20. All written notices shall be written to:
14101 NW 4th Street
Sunrise, FL 33325 – USA
Rejuvenetics reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change/modify the Terms and Conditions in this agreement at any time without prior notice. However, posting and notice of revisions will be on the Rejuvenetics website (www.rejuvenetics.net). The most current version of the Terms and Conditions will supersede all previous versions. All Distributors agree to abide by the most current version of the Terms and Conditions. Rejuvenetics encourages you to periodically review the Terms and Conditions to stay informed of our updates.
Where required by law, Rejuvenetics' order entry department will tabulate your local sales tax based on your shipping address and will collect these taxes on your behalf. Sales tax is calculated on the retail value of the product. If you have tax exemption status, you shall provide a copy of your tax exemption paperwork with this application form. Tax exempt Executive Entrepreneurs are required to remit all appropriate taxes on their own. The name on the Tax Exemption Certificate must match the name on this application. Rejuvenetics reserves the right to decline Tax Exemption requests for any reason. The Company reserves the right to terminate the relationship should the Executive Entrepreneur breach the Policies and Procedures, which are incorporated herein by reference. Commissions payments are considered taxable income by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and Rejuvenetics is required to report commissions earnings to the IRS. For that reason Rejuvenetics requires a completed and signed W9 form from each Executive Entrepreneur and reserves itself the right to temporarily withhold commissions payments until a completed W9 form has been provided.
Any Executive Entrepreneur or Customer may return current product for any reason, provided the return takes place within 30 days of purchase. To make a product return, contact Rejuvenetics Customer Support. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number prior to shipment. Product shipped without an RMA will be refused.
In order to qualify for commissions, Executive Entrepreneurs must have met the minimal purchase required. This is most easily accommodated by having a standing auto ship order. The content of Auto ship orders can be changed by the Executive Entrepreneur at any time. The Auto Ship is there to ensure that the Executive Entrepreneur will meet his/her monthly personal requirement prior to the end of the month. If the regular monthly auto ship order date falls on a U.S. holiday or weekend, the order will still be processed electronically on that date but will not be shipped until the next business day. The credit card listed in the Executive Entrepreneur account will automatically be charged for this order. Orders with declined or expired credit cards may not be processed. Attempts may be made by Rejuvenetics' Customer Service Department to contact the Executive Entrepreneur, however the Company makes no assurances that these attempts will be made. The Executive Entrepreneur is ultimately responsible for providing a current form of payment. If an order cannot be processed due to payment difficulties, the Company will not be held responsible for any qualification shortfalls. If an Executive Entrepreneur cancels their Auto Ship this may result in not qualifying for commissions.
I certify that I am at the age of majority and am legally able to enter into this agreement. I have read and agree to the details of the Rejuvenetics' compensation plan as shown in the company's Compensation Plan brochure. I hereby agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. I understand that as a participant of this Network Marketing Compensation Plan I have the right to cancel this contract at any time, for any reason, and in order to cancel I must submit it in writing to Rejuvenetics at its principal place of business.

Oops, something didn't work.
I knew you guys would catch that (well, it's pretty obvious).
Our sound levels got jacked up sky-high for unknown reasons... so I did my best to bring it down to the lowest annoying-ness possible, but there's nothing I can do about the clipping (which is what causes that distortion).
My apologies, I hope it's still bearable .
I've never seen a wireless mouse that is good for gaming. I play games on a high (competitive) level and it just does not work.
Oh btw I hate computer games without violence. They make me violent.
I am impressed with the X8 as it was the only wireless mouse I've tried without any lag that I could perceive... but I agree I mostly prefer wired.
I'll talk to the team and see if there's a BlueTrack wired version coming out, I'd love that.

40/29 collected 1,183 turkeys for families in need during its Feeding Hope Turkey Drive.
Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and River Valley Regional Food Bank are receiving the donations for the holidays.
River Valley Regional Food Bank has nearly 700 turkeys to give to families -- a big difference from a few days ago when they said they didn't have a single turkey.
Teddy Clemmons, director of River Valley Food Bank, said the number of turkeys donated is more than he could have imagined.
"I got up at 3 o'clock today and it's been well worth it, every minute of it," Clemmons said.
Donations filled two tractor-trailer trucks.
"This is going to be six-hundred-and-something meals that's going to help a lot of families that didn't have a turkey during the holidays. So this is fantastic. It's awesome," he said.
40/29 collected 600,000 pounds of turkey and more than 1,000 pounds of other food at Friday's drive.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) shares hit yet a three-year high today, oblivious to another insider unloading a big chunk of shares.
CEO Hubert Joly sold nearly $17-million worth of company stock on Friday, netting roughly $10 million, after backing out the cost of exercising the options that made up the lion's share of the sale. Joly's contract required him to hold his awarded shares for at least two years, but the compensation committee cleared the way for the sale by waiving the final year.
He had a reason for raising the money.
"Mr. Joly has recently gone through a divorce and needs to sell a portion of his holdings in order to cover the costs of that unfortunate event," a company spokesman said in a statement explaining why Joly was selling roughly 20% of his stake in the company that he took over a year ago.
You have to feel sorry for Brian Dunn, the former CEO who was let go last year after breaking a company rule by having an inappropriate relationship with a 29-year old employee. There was no waiver or rule leniency there. Then again, he did walk away with a $6.6-million severance package, so maybe he's the one who got the last laugh here.
Joly's sale isn't the only notable bigwig cashing out. Founder Richard Schulze entered into an automated selling plan to unload a chunk of what was his 20% stake in the retailer between October and March of next year. This was the same Schulze that was actually trying to team up with private-equity investors to take Best Buy private last year.
To be fair, Best Buy's stock has more than doubled since the time when Schulze wanted to buy the company back last summer. Cashing out makes sense.
You won't hear Schulze or Joly admit that they're selling because the stock's valuation has gotten out of whack after more than tripling so far in 2013. Schulze wants to diversify his assets; Joly has a divorce to settle. However, if the stock does peak here -- and it might -- investors will only be able to blame themselves.
Joly has done a great job of shaving overhead at Best Buy, but there's no way that this company is as valuable as it was the last time it traded this high during the 2010 holiday shopping season.
Best Buy still doesn't have a response to Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and the showrooming trend that's been nibbling away at sales growth. Even in the chain's most recent quarter, revenue and comps dipped slightly. Amazon's North American sales soared 30% in its latest quarter.
Joly has helped improve margins at Best Buy -- and even the reputation is improving -- but until the shoppers start showing up again, it's hard to feel that this is a stock that deserves its multi-year highs. Its two most prolific insiders have moved to sell a lot of stock over the past month. That's a hard thing for bulls to ignore.
Three smart plays for retail investors
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - GMOs (3): Health Dangers
This week on New World Notes: radio program #262, March 12, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst will play more from the video documentary, GMO: Ticking Time Bomb. We'll focus on environmental damage and health risks--both of the genetically modified crops themselves and of the potent herbicides that are used to grow them.
Most GMOs are genetically modified in order to survive exposure to toxic herbicides such as Monsanto's "Roundup"--not to increase yield, improve drought resistance, resist blight, or for any other arguably-good reason.
This installment includes a prologue by KD and a brief news story about a new GMO labeling bill just introduced in Connecticut.
Adapted for radio by K.D.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "unisex bathroom") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.

Pelco DF8KW-PGE1R3A 8" Outdoor Pendant Dome Clear Bubble Day/Night IR
Custom orders usually ship in 1-2 weeks.
The DF8 Series is available with predetermined, factory-installed and back-focused camera and lens packages. To configure a dome with integrated camera and lens, or integrated camera only, refer to the selection guide below to compile the appropriate model number. Pelco's DF8KW-PG-E1R3A combines a camera, lens, and dome housing in a single package, saving you the time and effort involved in putting together a system on your own. To speed up installation, the camera comes pre-fitted with the lens, and is also pre-adjusted for backfocus. For added convenience, Pelco designed the dome so that the bubble can be easily removed (DF8 series only) for quick camera and lens access during installation and servicing. Positioning the camera inside the dome is also a quick and easy process thanks to an internal versatile fixed bracket providing 360° of possible horizontal camera orientation. Another great benefit of the DomePak design is that, unlike integrated-style domes, all of its three major components (camera, lens, dome) are also available for separate purchase. This way you can easily swap, replace or upgrade a particular component of the DomePak without having to purchase a whole new system, thus preserving at least part of your original investment. DomePaks are available in many different configurations and with a variety of mounting options to suit virtually any surveillance environment and installation requirement. Both the DF5 and DF8 series DomePaks were also designed to cosmetically match the Spectra series so that they will easily blend in with an existing Pelco security installation. And with a name like Pelco you can be sure that whatever configuration you choose to go with you can count on it to deliver the level of performance and integrity necessary to properly secure a business or home environment. For detailed information about DF8 DomePak camera and lens components, refer to the component specification sheets.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...

Ademtech's latest innovation is a ready-to-use bead for covalent coupling of proteins that has standardized the coupling procedure for immunoassays. Called the Activ-Adembeads, the preactivation step and coupling reagent are built in, according to Sandrine Godichaud, product manager. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, high and low molecular weight proteins, and enzymes have been coupled to these beads, maintaining their activity for downstream applications. "Coupling is fast, flexible, and simple, and leads to a highly reproducible immobilization."
New superparamagnetic microspheres optimized for bioseparation of human cells or bacteria, biopurification of immunoglobulins or recombinant proteins, or biodetection for immunoassays or ELISA are being launched this month at the American Association for Clinical Chemistry conference by Merck Chimie and EMD. The line is introduced "in anticipation of the researcher's expanding needs for biotools to meet precise assay requirements," according to Fabrice Sultan, Ph.D., sales and marketing manager, noting that biocoated microsphere requirements for each of those applications differ.
The new line, called Bio-Estapor®, includes streptavidin, antimouse IgG, antihuman IgG, protein A and protein G coated microspheres, and 0.3 µm, 1.0 µm, and 2.6 µm sizes, with hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties and 30% to 50% ferrite content. The small beads separate slowly but have maximum binding capacity with a higher sensitivity and show "almost no sedimentation during the binding process," Dr. Sultan says.
In contrast, "our large coated beads separate fast in a complex or viscous liquid but will not remain long in solution without agitation or resuspension. The medium size combines efficient magnetophoretic mobility, high surface area, and a low sedimentation rate, making it the gold standard for chemiluminescent immunoassays."
"Recently," Dr. Sultan comments, "protein A and protein G Bio-Estapor microspheres have been used for antibody and Fc-fusion protein purification from cell culture supernatant. The binding activity of the purified proteins was totally preserved, with similar dose responses for proteins purified with protein A sepharose resin. Those coated microspheres have been reused more than 10 times with the same efficacy."
Thermo Fisher Scientific recently launched a blocked magnetic particle to control nonspecific binding, according to Rick Galloway, director of particle technology. "Many companies spend a tremendous amount of money adding blockers to their test systems to reduce nonspecific interactions," he says, increasing assay cost and complicating manufacturing. Instead, Thermo Fisher preblocks the surface of Sera-Mag SpeedBeads before creating an amino-modified surface or the streptavidin-coated version.
Polysciences' Bangs Labs division recently introduced the ProMag™ Bind-IT™ and 1 µm ProMag microspheres. According to Kathy Turner, technical service manager, "ProMag Bind-IT are 3 µm polymer-based magnetic microspheres with a preactivated surface that allows ready binding of antibody without sacrificing stability." The beads and proteins bind during a simple incubation, and Bind-IT's chemistry immobilizes the antibody while "preserving its tertiary structure for optimal activity."
Turner says a new size of ProMag magnetic microspheres is also available. Both the carboxyl and streptavidin versions are now available in a 1 µm size. "The smaller 1 µm size offers far greater surface area per unit weight, which can present a considerable advantage for the purification of biomolecules or capture of low-concentration targets. Smaller-diameter spheres additionally remain suspended for longer periods of time, simplifying assay incubation steps."

A Christian recording artist will bring a message of faith and redemption to Coulter Road Baptist Church on Sept. 13. For Kelita, who uses only her first name professionally, the theme of redemption has a personal meaning beyond the spiritual definition. In this material life, Kelita has experienced the liberation of having a troubled past washed away, she said.
"I was a country singer, and my life was like a country song," said the Cloverdale, British Columbia, singer-songwriter. "I used to sing country music for years, then I changed my direction to Christian," Kelita said.
A pop-country sensibility still informs Kelita's newer compositions, along with elements of adult contemporary, folk, gospel and R&B. Kelita likens her music to that of Carole King and Wynonna Judd.
Kelita said she experienced a life-
changing event while vying for success during the pop-country boom of the mid-1990s. Despite rubbing shoulders with some of the top artists in Canada — Shania Twain once sang backup in Kelita's band — the lifestyle of the music business was wearing her down, she said.
"I was around the things that musicians are around — alcohol, drugs," Kelita said. "I was in a bad marriage."
An auto accident sparked a complete overhaul of her goals and beliefs, she said. Kelita was uninjured in the crash, but the experience underscored the fragility of life and the destruction lurking along the chaotic path she was traveling, she said.
Kelita stayed in the music business, but her next release, the 1996 CD and single "The Strong One" showed a shift away from love songs and toward topics of personal growth and embracing change — and faith.
"'The Strong One' is autobiographical and was my first album where I was free enough to express my true self," Kelita said. "It is very personal ... It was a huge step for me to come to terms with all that had taken place in my life up until that point and then share it with everyone. My hope is that in sharing personal struggles, I can bring a message of healing to my listeners."
In the years since then, Kelita has
released five more albums, the most recent being 2010's "The Heart of a Woman," a stripped-down, intimate selection of songs using a simple instrumentation and production style.
"'Heart of a Woman' is the CD that I have dreamed about recording my whole life," Kelita said. "The songs are performed live off the floor ... It's a soothing CD with lyrics that are raw and real."
Kelita is coming to Amarillo as part of the Woman Wise! performance series, a booking agency that brings female Christian performing artists to venues around the country. Woman Wise! is a project of Gestures of Generosity, an umbrella group of ministries funded by Minneapolis-based Thrivent Financial, a consumer financial services company.
"Kelita's messaging is all about what it means to be broken and to come into God's grace," said Gestures of Generosity director Mary Messina. "The show will be a night of fun and inspiration, based on faith."

At suburban Riverdale Public School in New Jersey, a visitor recently posed a question to an eighth-grade class: "Have you seen Internet pornography?" All 42 students raised their hands.
One of them was 13-year-old Ryan Cleary, who admits to looking at Internet porn occasionally as a kind of research tool, so he'll know more about what he's supposed to do with girlfriends. "Guys will ask if I've gone to first base yet, so I got to figure things out. If you don't know, they laugh at you," he says. "Some guys look at porn out of curiosity and to figure out what they want to do with girls in the future."
Like all teens, Ryan's classmate Stephanie Struniewski, also 13, is blasted with beauty images everywhere from magazines to MTV. Yet she blames her ex-boyfriend's interest in Internet porn for playing havoc with her self-image. "He told me he wanted me to look skinny like the porn girls," she says. "He told me I was fat, that I was a hippo."
Meet the cyberporn generation. According to a study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, 70 percent of the nation's 15-to 17-year-olds have looked at Internet pornography, much of it graphically hardcore. The notion of adolescents peeping at risqué images is hardly novel, of course. And the Web, with its 24-hour anonymity and infinite variety—an estimated 1 million erotic Web sites, with chat rooms, video feeds and cascading porn pop-ups—superseded that tattered Playboy stashed under little Biff's mattress years ago.
But now the first generation of kids who have never known a world without Internet porn is coming of age at a time when the culture at large is grappling with shifting standards of what constitutes decent exposure. "In the past, we had boundaries," says psychologist Mary Ann Layden, director of education at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Cognitive Therapy. "Now Paris Hilton, Pam and Tommy Lee make videos of themselves having sex. So the message is that it's normal to watch people having sex."
Nowhere is this new normal more evident, influential or accessible than on the Net. "The Internet provides a cookbook to kids and will become the de facto sex educator, not the parents, not the schools," says behavioral scientist Ralph DiClemente of Atlanta's Emory University, who has launched a $3 million, five-year study of kids and cyberporn sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health. Research is in its infancy, but experts on teen behavior say they're starting to see troubling results suggesting Internet porn could be distorting kids' views about sex.
"Younger kids may not have much world experience, and Internet porn could shape their norms about relationships," DiClemente says. With high-speed downloading, he adds, the difference between Playboy and Web porn is like that between riding a burro versus taking a Concorde. "Kids may wonder if it's okay to degrade their partner. They may dissociate sex from intimacy. Trying to bring those two elements together down the road may be very difficult."
For some more than others. Troy Busher was 12 the first time he saw pornography on the Internet—and he looked at it almost every day for the next nine years. "It's all about female submission: 'You're my ho. Get down on your knees,' " he says. When he finally got a real girlfriend in high school, "she pretty much became like garbage to me," says Busher, now 25 and a college student in Fullerton, Calif. "I was always demanding more, putting my hands in the wrong places. I acted like her body was mine and I could do what I wanted." For those who are easily influenced by such images, it's hard not to return to them, says psychiatrist Dr. Richard Blankenship, owner and director of the North Atlanta Center for Professional Counseling and Psychiatry. Graphic porn images, he says, make the brain "light up like a Christmas tree." Which explains why Busher says, "I have more memories of porn than of childhood."
Of course, pornographers argue that—in the right hands—porn has its place. As anyone in the industry will readily proclaim, millions of men and women enjoy Web erotica harmlessly, and some couples turn to porn to enhance their sex lives. Insiders also stress that the vast majority of adult sites are precisely that and have no interest in attracting children. "I'm happy to say most people who contact us do ask about how to keep out kids," says Kevin Godbee, director of sales for a Boca Raton, Fla., company that operates as an "adult chamber of commerce" and publishes an Internet-porn trade magazine. "It's a very, very small percentage of people involved in this industry that don't have the highest moral and ethical standards."
But there's no question that hardcore sexual and violent images are readily available to kids on the Net. "I swear I receive 200 porn e-mails a day," says Riverdale student Nick Homey, 14. "I've not only seen a man and a woman having sex on the Internet, but a man, a woman and a donkey." According to the Kaiser study, 83 percent of 15-to 17-year-olds have Internet access at home—a third of them in their bedrooms. It used to be that "when a 15-year-old looked at Playboy, he had to put it away quickly because his dad was coming," says psychologist Layden. "Now kids can end up at torture sites."
Even if kids aren't looking for porn, it will find them, through links in spam e-mails, instant messages and recurring pop-up ads, a practice known as mousetrapping that can sometimes only be stopped by going to a site or shutting down the computer. Filters only do so much. "Any kid with any kind of smarts can get around a filter," says Jason, 20, a college student who only recently swore off Internet porn. Besides, he adds, "I would go to 20 sites, and 18 would be filtered—there were always two or so that wouldn't be."
If that comes as a surprise to parents, Herbert Lin of the National Research Council has two words: Pay attention. At the behest of Congress, Lin led a 2002 project on Youth, Pornography and the Internet. What he learned was "how clueless parents are about what their kids do on the Internet," he says. "If kids have a problem, many parents don't know."
Debbie Holt's two teenage boys didn't have a problem, and she always gave them privacy and space. Then the Maryland insurance broker received a suspicious bill from a place called Alyon Technologies, charging $184 for "adult content." It turned out that her 14-year-old had clicked on a pop-up window that led him to a porn site. "I'm not such a strict parent that I ban my kids from seeing R-rated movies," she says. "But what bothered me about this was that I had absolutely no idea what they were seeing. They could have seen two kids going at it."
Above all, Holt was incensed that it had all happened so easily: When a proof-of-age box appeared, her son clicked "Yes, I am 18," and the site began billing by the minute. So she lodged complaints with congressmen, police and the Federal Trade Commission. The Maryland attorney general's office and the FTC pressured Alyon, which finally refunded her money eight months later. (She also started a Web site for other concerned parents but shut it down after it was overrun with postings by pornographers.) "If kids want to buy cigarettes, the [vendor] has to card them," she says, adding that online purchases usually require some personal info, such as a credit card number. "What child is going to say, 'Uh-uh, my parents said I couldn't go into that site'?"
As the father of an 8-year-old boy, James DiGiorgio understands that frustration. But as a producer of porn movies, about 90 percent of which wind up on the Internet, he grows somewhat defensive. Though Jimmy D., as he is known, admits that some in the industry are unscrupulous about luring children, "I don't think we're the only business that is sometimes promoting an unhealthy view of the world and sexuality," he says. DiGiorgio believes it's a parent's responsibility to protect kids from seeing porn on the Net. "My son is not going to get on the Internet without supervision from me or my wife. Parents need to be very, very involved."
But even the most involved parent can feel helpless in the face of irrepressibly curious teens. Craig Nelson, a financial consultant in Orange County Calif., has two teenage sons and a computer. Do the math. "I went into the computer history one day, and sure enough, there were a few pornography Web sites," says Nelson, 49. "I figured they had stumbled onto it." When those sites kept proliferating in the history, Nelson confronted the boys and moved their desktop to the family room. When the PC gave out, he bought a wireless laptop. Unable to trust the boys alone at home with it, he began taking the computer along whenever he and his wife went out to dinner. In the house, he made the boys sit at the kitchen bar, in plain sight, when going online.
It seemed like a good idea at the time. But "they'll visit 25, 30, 40 different [porn] sites with their mom standing there cooking," says Nelson, awed by their brazenness. "A couple of nights ago, I was walking upstairs and back down again and in that two or three minutes my older son looked at some porn and then got out of it." Nelson has since installed a password known only to him and his wife, so their sons can go online only when a parent is present. When he discusses his dilemma with other parents, he's stunned by their denials. "I ask if their kids struggle with pornography on the Internet, and 99.9 percent say, 'No, not at all,' " Nelson says. "I have no doubt that they're being naive."

Some award-winning coaches, and even fans of that team, might feel a little let down when it's announced they have to share an honor.
Sure, having an award all by your lonesome is great for the ego, but Carey's Phil Vaughn sees such things as the work of a group and not the one.
So when The Associated Press announced Thursday he shared this year's top Division IV girls basketball coaching honor with Danville's Matt Proper, Cuyahoga Heights' Al Martin and Fayetteville-Perry's Toby Sheets, Vaughn's reaction was to rejoice for the Blue Devils as a whole.

"It's a great honor. It's a program accomplishment," he said. "My girls, they worked so hard on the floor. They're the ones out there playing and battling. They're really why we had a successful year this year."
The Blue Devils finished 23-3 overall, capturing the final Midland Athletic League title - the MAL disbands after this year - with an unbeaten mark and ending as the regional runners-up. It was Carey's first trip to the regional since the 2008-09 team advanced to the state semifinals in Vaughn's first year with the Blue Devils.
"It was a great season. Really proud of the girls winning the last MAL title, going 10-0 in the league and getting down to Elida in the regional finals," Vaughn said. "I can't say enough about the season and just coaching them and having the time [with them], and spending four years with those seniors. It's been a good run for them."
And he wasn't the only Blue Devil honored.
Sydney Wentling capped her sophomore season by being named to the honorable mention list after averaging 13.2 points, 4 rebounds and 4.7 assists during the regular season. Her effort helped Carey end second in the MAL in scoring (57.1) and third in points allowed (39).
"Sydney works hard for her team. She's our point guard and she'll tell you she's an equal piece to our team," Vaughn said. "Even though she's the point guard, she relies on the other kids.
"Sydney's a well-rounded player," he said. "She would tell you she couldn't do it without them, but she's certainly deserving of it."
While Carey had a pair of all-Ohio representatives, three other area players also gained awards.
St. Wendelin's Kamryn Troike led that latter group by being named a second-team pick in Division IV.
The 6-3 sophomore dominated the paint for the Mohawks, averaging 20.7 points and 14 rebounds per game during the regular season before ending the year at 20.9 points and 14.7 boards per contest.
It was quite a jump from the 8.8 points and 7.7 rebounds she put up as a freshman.
"The surprising thing with Kam is how much she improved from her freshman year to her sophomore year," St. Wendelin coach Aaron Smith said. "I told her her freshman year she was 6-3 and her sophomore year she was a basketball player."
And the improvement brought attention.
Along with being double-and-triple-teamed during the year, she earned league and District 6 MVP honors while drawing the interest of Division I college coaches.
"She's drawing some attention, and she'd be the first one to tell you she wouldn't be second team all-Ohio if her teammates did throw her the ball," Smith said.
"Our girls will just keep feeding her. They're so unselfish. They just want to win," he said. "That's why we had such a surprising season."
New Riegel junior Kara Scherger landed on the honorable mention list in Division IV.
She ran the point for the Blue Jackets, guiding them to the regional semifinals, where they lost to Carey, by turning in 13 points, 3.1 assists and 4.3 steals.
"She did a lot for us," New Riegel coach Steve Lucius said. "As a point guard, you quarterback the team. She'd get us into our offense and spearhead our defense. A little bit of everything.
"We're glad she's back for one more year."
Upper Sandusky senior Taylor Graboski finished her career as a two-time all-Ohio pick, ending as a Division III special mention player.
She averaged a double-double for the Rams, turning in 17.6 points and 13.7 rebounds per game in her final season.
"She's one of those kids that's going to be hard to replace. You don't replace a kid like that with her drive and her ability," Upper Sandusky coach Brent Fahle said. "She's just a great kid with heart and determination. Her passion is going to be greatly missed.
"She's a great kid and she's going to do great things at Valpo as a volleyball player," he said.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Advance Food Editor Pamela Silvestri is counting down Christmas with a daily set of culinary tips to make this year's holiday feast your best.
With 10 days to go, we've got some advice for manning the deep fryer. Stick with vegetable oils like safflower or peanut oil (as opposed to olive oil) as they have higher smoke points. Always deep fry in 3 to 4 inches of oil with a pot at least 7 to 8-inches high.
Never recycle.
While oil may be strained for economy purposes, it generally retains unwanted flavors. Cooked particles that linger in the old oil may singe or cling to food.
Check the temp.
Use a probe to ensure the oil registers between 365 and 375 degrees. Let the oil rest in between batches; this way, the temperature can climb back to where it should be.
Cook outside.
Weather permitting, hook up a portable deep fryer in the yard or on the patio. This will reduce cooking odors in the house, especially when working with fish.
Salt at the end.
Sprinkle kosher or iodized salt over cooled potato or veggie chips just before serving. Seasoning that is applied to some foods hot from the fryer causes them to wilt.
Stay safe.
Turn pot handles in toward the stove. Be sure your hands are dry when moving near the oil: Water droplets can pop and cause burns.

Adult primary care in the United States faces a dilemma. Many patients report poor access to their primary care clinician. Yet the growing demand for primary care leads to high levels of clinician burnout. A commonly voiced solution is to increase the numbers of adult primary care clinicians—physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. However, most workforce projections find that there will not be enough clinicians to meet the increasing demand.1 At the same time, many primary care activities do not require a clinician's expertise, creating dissatisfied practitioners working well below their skill level. To meet the demand for primary care and to improve the work life of clinicians, it is sensible to redistribute responsibilities to other members of the primary care team.

Shell game: Fresh clams couldn't be easier to love
Now, I know people don't buy fresh clams because they don't know what to do with them. I get that, because that group used to include me.
It seems like a hassle to figure out how to treat them and prepare them, without even knowing if you'll like them in the first place. Who has that kind of cash/time?
Well, I spent the cash/time, and I can report that clams are worth every cent/minute. They're ridiculously easy, inexpensive and have a delicate flavor gently enhanced in a steam bath of white wine and a smidgen of butter. They're positively addictive, and I was sad when they were gone.
Five things I learned:
1. Clams are part of a group of sea creatures named "mollusks," which also include oysters, scallops and mussels, among others.
The most common clams are called "littlenecks." They're about 2 to 3 inches wide with hard shells. They're sold alive, but don't worry, they don't move, bite or do anything else. They have to be sold alive because they're highly perishable. You need to use them soon after purchase.
2. You'll almost surely lose a few clams both before and after cooking. In my bag of 50, purchased the day I cooked them, three were slightly open. I waited two days to use the uncooked leftovers and lost about a quarter more.
The most important things to remember:
- Only cook clams that are tightly closed. If they are ajar, they could be spoiled. You will be tempted to cook them anyway. Resist. By the way, the open ones will not affect the other fresh clams.
- After cooking, clams should be open wide. Any that didn't open could be spoiled. Throw them out, too. Again, this will not affect the safety of the others.
3. Most recipes that call for littleneck clams will say they need to be "scrubbed." That sounds like a lot more work than it actually is. It isn't a food safety thing, and it's not difficult. It's just to get rid of any sand or grit on the shells.
Mine were pretty clean. I just took a vegetable scrub brush and gave each one a quick once-over. That took about two minutes.
4. You'll notice that most of what I've said doesn't count in how long it takes to cook the clams. This is because there's next to nothing to know about cooking them. Steaming will take about 10 minutes, tops. You can do it in a pan on the stove with a lid. I did it in foil pouches on the grill. You can even do it in three to five minutes in the microwave by placing them all on the outside edge of a microwave-safe dish, leaving the center open, covered tightly.
Bam. You're done.
5. The Epicurious.com recipe for this said it serves four to six people. That must be as an appetizer to some kind of huge dinner. There is no way six clams each are going to get it done in my house. The things are the size of the tip of my thumb, for goodness' sake.
Besides, littleneck clams are sold in bags of 50. Just make them all. They'll get eaten. It'll take three of these foil pouches, and a pouch of 18 only has 228 calories. (A lot of people serve them with melted butter. Of course that's delicious, but I don't think they need it.)
Clams are inexpensive, too, as far as seafood goes. That bag of 50 is $14.99. Split in three pouches that's only $5 apiece.
John and I each had a pouch of 18 and I used the rest to make Linguine with Clam Sauce. (I wrote about that in my blog, at www.goerie.com/blogs/loaves).
Bonus tip: It's fun to use your empty clam shells as talking puppets. Also, castanets.

City of West Linn Robinwood Neighborhood Association (RNA, RN to be used for Robinwood Neighborhood) Monthly Meeting Minutes Tuesday, 7/8/2008 Kevin Bryck called the meeting to order at 7:08 PM. The June 2008 RNA meeting minutes were unanimously approved. The treasurer's report showed $2037.61 in the RNA account. Items Discussed Shady Hollow Drive Land-Use Application Ms. Stiven, land-use consultant for the property owner, said that the new plan was to request that tax lots in question be rezoned R4.5 – allowing for a maximum of 22 units and to be comprised of single-family attached (approx. 4000 sq ft lots), single-family detached (approx. 4500 sq ft lots), and duplexes). Ms. Stiven noted that this zoning would result in a significant drop in the incremental impact to traffic patterns on adjacent streets, versus the R2.1 zoning originally proposed. Structure height maximum for this zoning would be 35 ft. A resident asked why not just keep the existing R10 zoning? Ms. Stiven and the property owner said that R10 development is difficult for these tax lots as the are adjacent to commercial sites, are positioned along a public transit route (which supports more dense development), and some of the perimeter of to-be-developed land is on Highway 43 (not making it conducive to R10 development). Two other residents noted that they were pleased with the development plan revisions and asked that a maximum amount of trees and foliage be maintained, respectively. The application (for a plan amendment and zone change only) will be submitted to planning department this week (week of 7/7) – the planning department then has 30 days to review the application. 3955 Cedar Oak Drive – Water Resource Permit Application Gary Hitesman, working with residents opposed to ratification of this application, noted the following about the application: • An erosion control study must be provided – none has been • A soil characteristics report must be provided – none has been • Site maps submitted with application contain inaccuracies • City development regulation 32.090 notes that development cannot cause danger to life or property – a ratification of this application would result in danger to property One option discussed was for the city to gain ownership of the lot, via payment to the lot owner or land swap, and then build a city park on the lot. Various residents discussed the need to get petitions signed by people whose land is 'touches' the stream and whose land, although not touching the stream, is adjacent to the property in question. Lastly, various residents asked others in attendance to attend the 7/21 City Council meeting, the next venue where the application will be discussed. A motion was made, and subsequently withdrawn (by Jack Norby), for Gary Hitesman to present his finding to the City Council on behalf of the RN after first removing any reference to a land swap involving the fire station and any reference to Ole Olsen's ramp and/or stairway. Another motion was made and passed (28 in favor, 1 in opposition, and 0 abstentions) to authorize Gary Hitesman to present his findings as-is to the city council on behalf of the RNA, with the right to revise the content as necessary to fit within the presentation timelines of the city council. Per this motion, Gary Hitesman may also summarize to the city council on behalf of the RNA that the application should be dismissed or not-approved because it is incomplete, it contains inaccuracies, and that owner's are victims of a self-imposed hardship as they previously split the lot, thereby limiting their development opportunities. Another motion was made and passed (27 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 0 abstentions) stating the RNA opposes a 32.090 exemption being made for this application. General Announcements • Building will begin on the new Bolton Fire Station in approximately January 2009. Existing station will be maintained as the city looks to build on the lot adjacent to the existing station. • WL City Council is considering establishing a Committee for Citizen Involvement, initially proposed to be comprised of the planning commission and a select set of residents (this has initially been championed by Mayor King and is consistent with Goal 1 objectives). • Clackamas County will soon be hosting discussions on the county's rural reserves (i.e., open space, forest space, and farm space). • Kevin Bryck is working with city to procure a canopy for the toddler play area of Midhill Park. A motion was made and passed (25 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 0 abstentions) authorizing the RNA to proceed with the purchase of the necessary canopy and collateral supplies (with 'reasonable expense' limits). • Two residents suggested that a board be established to oversee the use of the Sunset Fire Hall, in conjunction with the Lions. • Help is needed to support the Arts Festival in the Park. Next meeting will be on Tuesday, 8/12 at 7:00 PM. Minutes submitted by RNA Secretary, Scott Sandie

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that gay couples are entitled to the same benefits as married heterosexual couples, invalidating a key portion of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said, "Under DOMA, same-sex married couples have their lives burdened, by reason of government decree, in visible and public ways." "DOMA's principal effect is to identify a subset of state-sanctioned marriages and make them unequal," he added.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas dissented, with Scalia suggesting the case should have been decided by the states.
"We have no power under the Constitution to invalidate this democratically adopted legislation," he said.
What do these rulings mean for society and Christians moving forward? Ryan Anderson, co-author of the book What Is Marriage? offered more insight, on CBN Newswatch, June 26. Click play below for the interview.
The court also ruled that those defending California's Proposition 8 had no standing to defend it, dismissing their appeal outright. Like DOMA, the voter-approved state amendment defines marriage as being between a man and woman.
"We have no authority to decide this case on the merits, and neither did the 9th Circuit," Chief Justice John Roberts said, writing for the majority opinion, which included Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Antonin Scalia.
Wednesday's decision effectively clears the way for same-sex marriages to be recognized in the Golden State for now.
But Prop 8 supporters aren't necessarily admitting defeat. They say that at most the high court has thrown California into somewhat of a legal limbo.
"We remain committed to the continued enforcement of Proposition 8 until there's a statewide order saying otherwise," Andy Pugno, general counsel for ProtectMarriage.com, said.
Gay marriage advocates aren't giving up either, saying a long road still lies ahead in the battle for what they call marriage equality.
"We cannot forget our LGBT brothers and sisters in states that still discriminate against them and we will not allow it," Prop 8 plaintiff Paul Katami said Tuesday. Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign vowed, "Within five years we will bring marriage equality to all 50 states in this vast country."
Even as it crippled DOMA, the Court specifically did not say states have to legalize gay marriage. But its two rulings are big boosts to the gay marriage momentum.
Rev. Rob Schenck, chairman of the Evangelical Church Alliance, warned believers to get ready for an anti-Christian backlash.
"The script's already been written: Christians are mean, angry, bigoted, narrow-minded ugly people. That's the stereotype. We need to do what we can to defeat that stereotype," he said.
"One thing is true: the Supreme Court has no authority when it comes to the nature of marriage. That authority belongs to the Creator whom our Founders declared is the source of all our rights," Schenck said.
Wednesday's verdict comes as states remain split over the issue. The number of states permitting gay marriage has increased from six to 12 in the last year.
But the drive to legalize it in Illinois stalled. Constitutions in 30 states still ban the practice.

France elections: National Front seeks to build on gains
The right-wing party was popular in the first-round, but polls suggest Nicolas Sarkozy's centre-right Republicans have since gained ground.Read the full story ›
Le Pen: Radical Islam behind Charlie Hebdo attack
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen says radical Islam is behind the shootings in Paris where gunmen killed 12 people.
The objective of these barbaric acts is to terrorise, to paralyse through fear, to subjugate or to censor. Undisputedly after this after this act that traumatised the whole nation, fear is there.
It is my responsibility to say that this fear must be overcome. And to say that this attack must free speech in the face of Islamic fundamentalism. We must not stay silent. And we must say what happened.
We must not be scared of words: this is a terrorist act committed in the name of radical Islamism. Denial and hypocrisy are no longer an option.
The absolute refusal of Islamic fundamentalism must be proclaimed high and loud by whomever. Life and liberty are among the most precious values.
Le Pen refuses to endorse presidential candidate
The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has addressed a rally in Paris. She told her voters to make their own choice in the May 6th presidential election runoff. The two leading candidates - Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande - have been competing for the votes of her supporters.
Marine Le Pen tells voters to make their own choice
Far Right leader Marine Le Pen has told supporters in France to vote as they wish. She said: "You are free citizens", not endorsing Sarkozy.
Cameron: No more business as usual in Brussels
David Cameron has told other EU leaders that it "cannot be business as usual" in Brussels following the success of eurosceptic parties in the European elections.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said Mr Cameron had spoken to leaders including Germany's Angela Merkel and the Irish Taoiseach, Enda Kenny.
He will also hold talks tomorrow at a dinner in Brussels tomorrow evening.
"The PM has been making the point in these conversations that leaders should seize the opportunity of tomorrow's dinner to heed the views expressed at the ballot box that the EU needs to change and to show it cannot be business as usual," the spokesman added.
A huge vote of no-confidence in business as usual
Voters across Europe have delivered a huge vote of no-confidence in the European Union by casting their ballots for eurosceptic, anti-immigration parties.
ITV News Europe Editor James Mates reports from Paris, where the Front National have been celebrating after coming top in France's vote.
Merkel: Performance of right-wing parties 'regrettable'
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the performance of right-wing parties in the European parliament election was both "remarkable and regrettable".
'Disaster' for Hollande as National Front races ahead
European election results in France are a "disaster" for the country's President Francois Hollande, ITV News' Europe Editor James Mates told Good Morning Britain.
He said the rise of the National Front in France has been building more steadily over time, in contrast to the sharp jump in support for Ukip among British voters.
Election performances from around Europe
- In the Netherlands, the anti-Islam, Eurosceptic Dutch Freedom Party of Geert Wilders' - which plans to forge an alliance with Le Pen - finished joint second in terms of European Parliament seats behind a pro-European centrist opposition party.
- In Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's centre-left Democratic Party was holding off a strong challenge from the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement of former comic Beppe Grillo, according to a first exit poll.
- In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats were set to secure 36 percent of the vote, down from a 23-year-high of 41.5 percent in last year's federal election but still a clear victory. The centre-left Social Democrats, her coalition partners, were forecast to take 27.5 percent.
Centrist parties keep EU control but Eurosceptics double
First official results from around the European Union's 28-nation bloc showed
the pro-European centre-left and centre-right parties will keep control of the 751-seat EU legislature, but the number of Eurosceptic members will more than double.

Yellowstone Badlands
Badlands west of Terry, Montana, looking westward.
Here Larocque had it easy, traveling on the southeast side (the viewer's right) of the Yellowstone. The following summer (July 29, 1806), Clark recorded his impression of the breaks on the northwest side: "The hills are high and ruged Containing Coal in great quantities." That is all he could see of the stream-deposited, coal-bearing, extensively eroded sediments of the Paleocene Epoch (65–58 million years ago), in what geologists today call the Tullock member of the Fort Union formation.
Badlands in the vicinity of Terry, Montana.
Rainsplash, wind, and runoff erosion have carved the soft, pale gray mudstone and somewhat harder ledges of brown sandstone into fantastic layered shapes.

I went to this doctor when for dizziness. She ran an EKG on me and it indicated bijimminey -irregular heartbeat.) She also said I might have Lupus. She ordered bloodwork and said I should be put on a telemetry device for 30 days.I had the bloodwork done. After several days I found out that she "forgot" to put in the order for the telemetry device and went on vacation without letting me know, so I had to request that an on-call doctor put the order in. She never followed up with me about the lupus results so I had to get that information from the on-call doctor.I used the telemtry device as directed and mailed it back in per the instructions. A month passed. I never heard back from the doctor, so I called the cardiology department for my results. The cardiology department said I had to get the results from her and that they would send a message for her to contact me. 3 days later, she still did not contact me. I called patient relations to complain and they "PROMISED" me that she would call me that day. She did not call. I called her office late that afternoon to find out why she did not call and tried to get the results from someone else, but they refused to give them to me and said she would call the followind day. The following day, her medical assistant called and said that there were "no significant findings". I asked if she had any other information and she said no, because she's not the doctor. I told her that that's why I wanted to talk to the DOCTOR and she said that she would have the doctor call me back. Several hours later, the doctor STILL had not called me so I called again. Someone PROMISED me she would call me at 3:15pm. At 3:40pm when there was still no call, I called her office. They said she was "running behind." She finally called me over an hour late, and I got the results. When I asked her about what happened with the telemetry device she admitted that she had forgotten to order it. When I asked her if she thought that she had provided good patient care, she said, "there is nothing I can say to make you feel better." I told her I wanted an apology. She gave me a disingenous apology and then hung up on me. She is the worst doctor that I have ever experienced. DO NOT USE HER unless you don't care about your health.

In recent years, "hoarders" — people who collect lots and lots of stuff, until it overpowers them — have become a hot topic in the news and on "reality television." The mainstream consensus seems to be that "hoarders" are mentally ill, or at least socially abnormal, and need to be "helped," or at least stopped from amassing huge piles of stuff. I personally disagree with the idea of using force to combat "hoarding," but I think there's something useful as allegory in the phenomenon.
Any appreciation of Eugene Luther Gore Vidal (1925-2012) must necessarily resemble the fable of the blind men and the elephant. He was so many things that the only term which can really be stretched to cover them all is the too-often used "man of letters," and any individual fan in the spectator sport that was his life likely only had the time or inclination to really appreciate one or two of those things.
So, the circus is in town again. Yet another politician, facing yet another set of sexual misbehavior allegations. Whodathunkit?

In cases of Rh incompatibility, a baby's red blood cells have a substance called the Rh D factor, and the mother's blood cells do not.
In medical terms, the baby is Rh positive and you are Rh negative.
If some of the baby's red blood cells leak into your system, your body may produce antibodies to the Rh D factor. This is a condition called sensitization.
These antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the red blood cells in your unborn baby or in the next Rh-positive baby you have.
How Does it Occur?
This condition only occurs if you are Rh negative and your baby is Rh positive. It does not occur if you are Rh positive and your baby is Rh negative.
In most cases you will not be exposed to the baby's blood until you give birth. This usually means that your first baby is not affected. However, large amounts of the baby's blood often leak into the mother during delivery.
If you are Rh negative, the next Rh-positive baby you have could have problems if you have developed antibodies. Occasionally, in the following situations, some of the baby's blood may leak into your system during pregnancy:
- After amniocentesis or other invasive procedure
- During a miscarriage or abortion
- During an ectopic pregnancy
- If you bleed heavily during pregnancy.
If you are Rh negative and you received Rh positive blood in a transfusion, you may have developed antibodies that will cause the issue. In most cases, development of antibodies (sensitization) can be prevented, but if antibodies are formed, they will cross the placenta and can cause serious damage to the red blood cells of an Rh positive baby.
What are the Symptoms?
You won't have any symptoms. Symptoms and signs of the problem are seen in the baby if he or she develops hemolytic disease. In this condition, the baby's red blood cells start to break down, causing anemia. The baby may have other problems due to the anemia, such as jaundice and, after birth, breathing problems. The baby might even die in the womb if too much of the baby's blood is destroyed.
How is it Diagnosed?
Women at risk for this condition can be identified with the routine blood tests done at prenatal visits with the doctor. The tests include:
- Blood type
- Rh type
- Antibody screening
If you're Rh negative and have antibodies against the Rh D factor, you could have an issue. If you're Rh negative, the blood of the baby's father should be tested. If the father's blood is Rh positive, the baby has a chance of inheriting Rh-positive blood from the father. If the father is Rh negative, there will not be a problem because the baby has no chance of inheriting Rh-positive blood.
Some of the tests used to diagnose and assess hemolytic disease in the baby before and after birth are:
- Amniocentesis
- Cordocentesis
- Ultrasound
- Non-stress tests
- Blood tests
How is it Treated?
If you've already been sensitized by a previous birth, your baby may develop hemolytic disease before birth. If this happens, your baby may need a blood transfusion in the womb before birth. Sometimes early delivery by cesarean section is necessary.
If you haven't been sensitized, you will be given an injection of Rh-immune globulin at about 28 weeks of pregnancy, and within 72 hours after a birth, miscarriage, abortion, or amniocentesis.
The Rh-immune globulin contains antibodies to the Rh D factor. These antibodies will destroy any red blood cells from the baby that have entered your blood. You will not have a chance to form your own antibodies to the Rh D factor.
If you receive the injection at 28 weeks and after delivery, sensitization will be prevented and Rh incompatibility should not be a problem during your next pregnancy.
It's important to receive Rh-immune globulin in all cases when the baby's blood could leak into your system, including:
- All pregnancies including ectopic (tubal) pregnancies
- Early miscarriages
- After chorionic villus sampling
- After amniocentesis
Should All Rh Negative Women Receive Rhogam?
If you are an Rh-negative woman and you've conceived with an Rh-negative partner, you're not at risk of Rh sensitization during pregnancy. Your health care provider will confirm your partner's Rh status. You won't need Rhogam.
Most women don't require Rhogam during their first pregnancy. Some situations that cause the mom and baby's blood to mix include a previous pregnancy loss, amniocentesis or CVS, trauma to the abdomen, c-sections and pulling on the cord or placenta after birth. If you've experienced one of these events, it might be wise to consider a 28-week Rhogam shot.
In addition to unnecessary shots, Rhogam should not be given to anyone who has immune globulin A deficiency or hemolytic anemia, a condition characterized by insufficient healthy red blood cells. If you have ever had an allergic reaction to immune globulin, you should not receive Rhogam.
How Long Will the Effects Last?
Sensitization usually doesn't happen until after the birth of an Rh positive baby. This condition isn't a problem during a woman's first pregnancy and delivery of an Rh positive baby.
However, subsequent pregnancies and deliveries could be affected unless the mother is treated with Rh-immune globulin after every birth, miscarriage, and abortion.
Sensitization is permanent and the effects are usually worse with each subsequent pregnancy. Luckily, this condition doesn't occur as often since the discovery of RhoGAM.
Have you been through this or about to be tested? Share your experiences!

Who's Afraid of Raw Tripe Salad?
Not Tom Parker Bowles, Camilla's Fearless Foodie Son
Better, maybe. Better traveled? Probably not. In 2005 Bowles set out across the globe so he could sample different kinds of local grub, an experience captured in his new book The Year of Eating Dangerously (out this week). By testing more familiar fare as well as rare dishes that may not be for the faint of stomach, Parker Bowles, 32, says he hopes to encourage different cultures to embrace each other's cuisines. "The Chinese might see Stilton cheese and say, 'Hang on, you think we're weird? You eat rotten milk with blue mold in it!'" he says.
He celebrates a number of savory discoveries in the book. There were the "sweet" barnacle-like percebes shellfish harvested from the swells of the Atlantic off Spain. And he was smitten with the fare and smells of Laos. Still, he admits that there were more than a few times when he found himself hankering for the "comfort food" of home—specifically, the roast chicken (see recipe below) and shepherd's pie that Camilla would make for him and his sister Laura, 29, an art gallery manager, when they were growing up in the bucolic countryside of Wiltshire. Korean silkworm pupae left him cold, but nothing chilled his appetite like the water beetle salad in Laos—"The huge head stares at you menacingly."
A chili freak who always carries a bottle of Tabasco, Parker Bowles "is the greediest and most enthusiastic gastronome," says his cousin Ben Elliot. "On family holidays he was always asking chefs for more spice—or simply just more." It was his parents (his father is Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, 67) who encouraged this love of wholesome, fresh food—a banquet compared with the institutional fare of his boarding school days. "My dad was a mad, keen gardener," says Parker Bowles. "And my mum was a really good, basic British cook."
When news broke of her affair with Prince Charles, his mum also became the subject of tabloid headlines. Being a student at Eton College at the time offered her son some protection. "If people did read about it, they weren't going to say anything about it to me," he says. His parents also offered comfort. "Despite everything that might have gone on," Parker Bowles recalls, "my parents always said, 'Whatever happens, we will always love you, and you are the most important people.'"
Still, the scandal made him angry. "You want occasionally to go and kill people for writing these things," he says. "But as time goes on, you get a thicker skin." That became even more personally important in 1999, when it was reported by the British papers that he was taking cocaine. But, he says, facing his stern father was worse than the tabloid trials: "He didn't speak to me for four weeks."
Today Parker Bowles remains close with his family ("My parents are best friends") and has started a family of his own. In 2005 he wed Sara Buys, 34, fashion features editor at Harper's Bazaar, and the couple—who live in a townhouse in London's trendy Notting Hill neighborhood, where a china plate commemorating his mother's royal wedding sits on a bookshelf—are expecting their first child next month.
And what of his relationship with his new stepbrothers Princes William and Harry? "It's lovely when we see each other," he says, "but it's not the Brady Bunch. All I can say about them is that they are just charming." But surely they must be impressed by his globe-trotting gusto. Or not, says Parker Bowles: "They think, 'That idiot Tom's going off to stuff his face again!'"

MOUNT PLEASANT -- Six games into the season, Central Michigan University football coach Dan Enos has used 12 new players.
In Enos' eyes, they are no longer new.
The CMU coach hopes to see more improvement from his young players heading into Saturday's game against Miami (Ohio). Kickoff for the homecoming game is noon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
"We have some young people playing in certain positions, but we're halfway through the season," Enos said. "We have to stop making those kinds of mistakes.
"We continue to make the same mistakes at certain positions. We can't continue status quo. We've got to now, halfway through the season, take a step forward."
The Chippewas are 2-4, with three consecutive losses. After a tough 30-25 loss to Northwestern, the Chippewas were stunned by Ball State, 31-17, then lost a 45-21 decision to Virginia Tech.
"We challenged the team to get better against Virginia Tech, and we felt we did that," Enos said. "We did some good things. Offensively, we had some chances to convert and we didn't. When you play a team as talented as Virginia Tech, that's going to cost you."
Still, CMU outgained Virginia Tech, 401-394, ran 31 more offensive plays, held an 11:34 edge in time of possession and held Virginia Tech to zero third-down conversions in eight attempts.
But CMU punted nine times, missed two field goals and gave up three touchdowns of 68 yards or longer.
Miami is coming off a 45-3 loss to Cincinnati and former CMU coach Butch Jones. The RedHawks have excelled at controlling the ball, ranking eighth in the country in time of possession.
"CMU is a really physical and fast football team," Miami coach Mike Haywood said. "With all new staff, you go through an adjustment period with a trust faster. The guys have to trust you. They're definitely a better football team than their record indicates.
"They're physical in the trenches. They do a nice job of flying around to the football. They're faster than I can remember."
CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff ranks sixth in the country in passing yards with 1,703, while his favorite target, Cody Wilson, is 17th in the country with 484 receiving yards.
Miami (3-3, 2-0) at CMU (2-4, 1-2)
Kickoff: Noon, Saturday
TV: ESPN Plus
Radio: WCFX-FM, 95.3
Series: Miami leads, 11-10-1, with CMU winning the last meeting, 35-10, in the 2007 MAC Championship game.
Notes: Miami has not played at Kelly/Shorts Stadium since 1999 ... CMU has won 18 consecutive games against MAC teams from Ohio ... Miami's offensive coordinator is former Michigan State offensive coordinator Morris Watts, who coached CMU coach Dan Enos at MSU ... CMU has won five consecutive homecoming games ... CMU is No. 1 in the MAC in total offense with more than 414 yards per game ... Former CMU quarterback Joe Youngblood will serve as the honorary captain ... CMU is seventh in the country in fumble recoveries with eight.
