The city of Dyersburg announced last week that it will begin dispelling some of the inaccurate statements on local social media forums. Dyersburg Mayor John Holden says that he recognizes that the younger generation in the community is more focused on social media and while he wants to continue to respect citizens' free speech and opinions, he would like to correct inaccuracies about city operations, programs and policies.
"The city's posts will focus on facts," said Holden. "The city will not enter into debates and the responses will only relate to the question in hand."
Holden says that he realizes that these community forums will not be going away anytime soon. However, he would like to correct the misinformation that is often generated by rumors or misinterpretations. He says the city will appear on the local forums with the identification "Dyersburg PIO".
The move is just one of many ways the city has begun to use technology to disseminate information to the community. Earlier this year the city launched a Facebook page, which currently has over 600 followers. In addition, the bimonthly board meetings can be viewed on the city's YouTube site and other advances such as 311 help open the lines of communication between city hall and citizens.
"We just want to provide accurate information to our citizens and this is one more way we can do that," said Holden.

June 6, 2011, Jacksonville, FL.]---------State Prosecutor Angela Corey will try 12-year-old Christian Fernandez as an adult for kilin his 2 year old brother David in his Jacksonville, Florida home on March 14.
Corey defended the decision to try Christian as an adult under the charge of 1st degreee murder by saying, "We have to protect the public from this young man...we have no other choice."
Christian has been indicted on first degree murder which carries a sentence of life in prison. His mother has also been charged with aggravated manslaughter in little David's beating death. Her two other children are in the care of the state.
According to First Course News, the 12 year old defendant beat his brother over the head, delivering 2 or more blows causing the toddler to bleed internally. He died two days after being hospitalized.
Christian is awaiting trial behind bars at the juvenile county jail, in a separate area to other inmates. At first, he was in the adult jail, cahrged with first degree murder.
But this case is not as black and white as it seems. Christian was allegedly abused by his stepfather who later committed suicide when he learned he was going to be arrested. His mother was a teen mother, who gave birth when she was also 12 and both grew up in foster care. Reports say she often left Christian to care for his baby brother and when the tragedy occured, he was alone with the baby. When the mother finally came home, she reportedly waited 6 hours before taking the toddler to the hospital.
What do you think: should a 12 year old be tried as an adult and given life in prison?

Just a few years ago, Rep. Brian Higgins noted Monday, few Western New Yorkers found any reason to visit a Buffalo outer harbor marked by desolation.
But as he pointed to progress at a new recreational pier under construction at the foot of Tifft Street during a morning news conference, the Buffalo Democrat said the face of the waterfront for the next century is beginning to take shape.
"These projects finishing in the next few months will change Buffalo for the next 100 years – and for the better," he said.
The latest and most visible project surrounds the new pier jutting into the harbor just south of the former South End Marina grain elevators. Part of $4.2 million in projects stemming from various government sources now popping up on various locations, Higgins said even more developments are now attracting waterfront visitors.
He also pointed to a new industrial heritage trail on the Outer Harbor Parkway just north of the Ohio Street intersection set to open soon and the Lake Kirsty Pier at Tifft Nature Preserve completed last year.
Soon, he predicted, the waterfront will teem with even more activity once swimming opens at Gallagher Beach and Wilkeson Point.
"I will tell you that three years ago very few people were using the outer harbor," he said. "That is no longer the case."
Higgins was joined by Darrel Kaminski, regional director of the state Department of Transportation, to note the waterfront progress.
Kaminski said that several years ago, Higgins insisted that more could be done along the harbor shore.
"Brian said we could do better," he said. "It was a challenge. We had no funding. But we found a way."
The new Tifft pier features a steel ribbon walkway heading to an observation deck covered by a canopy. Decks with landscaping and seating areas will line the shore and are slated for completion by late summer.
Higgins also said the heritage trail will feature a bicycle and pedestrian path lined with granite and is slated to open this month. The Lake Kirsty project, already completed, is a large wooden pier extending into the water.
The congressman reiterated his vision for the Buffalo waterfront not as "another city," but as a complement to what already exists. He said the future waterfront will more closely resemble Chicago's spread-out development rather than the concentration of buildings for which Baltimore is known.
"We're looking for a great waterfront to complement the great city that we have," Higgins said.

KUDA device mount installed - really nice
I'm one of those folks who likes a neatly configured mobile device install in a vehicle and also someone who prefers to be able to see my phone display, despite all the nice bells and whistles in the UConnect system in my new Summit. In that respect, I recently ordered a KUDA mounting block in black leather to match my interior and today I got it set up.
The installation was straight-forward and easy and the mounting block looks like it "grew there" from the factory, nearly perfectly matching the leather-texture below the wood trim in my Summit. The only fiddling I did was to slightly trim the metal tab that goes between the AC/Electronics bezel and the dash so that it could fit flush. I also installed a very small screw on that side to insure it was well supported. On the glove box side, there is also a tab with an included screw. Once secured in place, the KUDA mount is secure and it can be de-installed without any holes being visible in the cabin.
I also wanted my iPhone's power cable neatly "hidden", so I obtained a black cable (AmazonBasics), shaved down the connector so it would work with my iPhone's thin polycarbonate case and routed it through a hole in the mount, tautly down the black interior panel and into the center console where it plugs into a dual USB adapter in the power connector just below the AC controls. I couldn't have had a more perfect cable length if I had it custom made as there is no extra cable coiled inside the dash and a single wire tie will insure it stays taut. I re-used my Arkon phone mount with the KUDA setup to finish things up.
I'm pleased with this arrangement as it's neat, matches the interior and provides the view I prefer for my phone without interfering with the passenger's comfort or getting in the way of the cup holders. The mount was $76 with shipping, which is not "inexpensive", but it is perfectly fit to the vehicle interior and again, looks like it was OEM from the factory.
And yes, here are some photos. :)
From the passenger side. You can (almost) see the cable that follows the panel line neatly down from the back of the leather covered KUDA mounting block
From the driver's side. Functional and neat.
Re: KUDA device mount installed - really nice
That looks really good!
Re: KUDA device mount installed - really nice
If you like it, im happy for you! :thumbsup: Does look like its part of the vehicle.
But, I dont think I'd put one of those in my car.

text: Summary: The Mayan Tarot is a doorway into another world, into a culture, into the past. Just like any lost civilization, this one gives teasing glimpses of what might have been and invites discovery. By losing oneself in the art, by letting symbols reveal themselves, by seeing patterns, an interpretation emerges. If you love reading Tarot, working with symbols, looking for patterns, and shaping stories, you will find the Mayan Tarot a similar and satisfying experience, and mastering it will help you become a better Tarot reader. In-Depth Review: Because Tarot, particularly the Major Arcana, is a collection of archetypal images, it is a fascinating medium for exploring different worldviews, whether cultural, historic, esoteric, or artistic. Thing key to getting the most out of these decks is to remember what they are and what they are not. As Riccardo Minetti explains in Twenty Years of Tarot: The Lo Scarabeo Story, "when we are creating a deck, we are not making a documentary. We are not building an index or compiling an encyclopedia. Instead, we want to capture an essence, a quality, or a distinctive state of mind." Knowing that this is the goal of this deck will help us accurately measure how successful it is in achieving that vision. The artistic representation does indeed convey "an essence, a quality" that evokes the Mayan culture. In addition, the design of the cards also helps create the feeling of meeting a culture based on fragmented information. Our ideas and knowledge of the Mayan world are founded on a large (relatively speaking) collection of written and archaeological material. But even so, it is incomplete and based on speculative interpretation. The lack of words on the cards creates the feeling of not quite knowing what's going on and forcing greater attention on the art. The Major Arcana have only Roman numerals and the Minors have only numbers (even the court cards). The decision to forgo words on the cards was an important one in the overall design of the experience. For the Mayan Tarot is nothing if not an experience. It is a glimpse into another world through a familiar lens…just familiar enough to give some stability. Just as a storyteller "shows" instead of "tells," the Mayan Tarot does not spoon feed the user. The cards show something, but what they tell you, well, that depends a lot on what you bring to the experience. Fortunately, for those who would appreciate a little more guidance, the little white booklet provides some. Each Major Arcana card is associated with a Mayan concept and includes am explanation of that concept. For example, The Hierophant is the The Great Priest of Yum Kaa, Temperance is The Long Count, and The World is The Ceiba Tree. There are even footnotes that provide further explanation. The reader can use the information as a springboard for their intuition or can learn more about the Mayan culture from other sources, having developed a framework based on this deck. Because the Majors are based on the traditional archetypal ideas that most of us are used to, making the shift from our worldview to that of the Mayan Tarot is not incredibly difficult. The Minor Arcana are a hybrid of pips and images. Each one has an image that looks as if it were carved from stone set on a bright background that includes the requisite number of pip symbols. This aspect of the deck fits in the overall theme and goal of looking at a Mayan worldview through the prism of Tarot. It does make sense that we know (or think we know) more about the larger or more important aspects of this ancient civilization than we do of their everyday life. Therefore, the Majors would be more detailed and well-documented than the Minors. If you look through the cards for patterns, you can discover things. For example, the rooster in the 9 of Cups shows up in the Ace of Pentacles, the 10 of Pentacles, and the 4 of Wands. According to the booklet, these cards all have to do with prosperity, victory, and well-being. From that you learn that this bird is a symbol for those things. Is it a fault of the deck that the little white booklet does not explicitly spell all this out? Not at all! Remember, the deck is meant to give us an experience, and discovering symbols and trying to interpret them are part of this experience. The experience you'll get when studying and using this deck is well worth any time spent.

Systemic candida and the low body temperature connection.
After extensive research and over a month of testing on my own body i've found the reason behind low body temperature when suffering of systemic candida.
Keep in mind that i am not a doctor.

Systemic Candida and Body Temperature
By Carthage
This article is about how systemic candida affects the body temperature, but exactly how, we are going to find out.
Just to dig a little deeper before we take off, in more regular medical terms body temperature is called thermarogulation and is a product of metabolical (chemical) processes inside your body, when you absorb nutrients and perform muscular work it produces energy which heats up the body.
The interrupting phase: Systemic Candida, Following two parts for some light on the leaky gut situation.
First, you got to be sure that your candida symptoms aren't caused by Aspergillus fungus, appoint doctor for advice and for tests.
As candida invades the body, it does so by penetrating the intestinal mucosa in strings called rhizoids and altering the metabolism into dysbiosis and as an effect of this turning down body temperature, as the body gets colder its immune system is weakened providing the candida with excellent environments to thrive in.
This change of tide is very hard to turn around since the gut is inflamed and now occupied by these little vermins.
What needs to be done and what is most essential of the procedures is to turn up your body temperature again since it's all an reciprocal effect of the dysbiosis made by foreign bacterias and fungi in the first place, simply when the body reaches normal temperatures again, the bacterias and excessive fungi are being dispelled while on the anti-candida protocol.
So which one to heal first?
The main point is to keep fungus in check while repairing the gut to prevent it from leaking again, to do so you need to lay off the anti-fungals, probiotics and gut-irritants that may send out even more toxins into your bloodstream.
And that is done by supplementing amino acids, essential fatty acids (Omega-3), iron, betain, selenium and onion while avoiding allergens like dairy, eggs, mustard greens and irritants like hot spices and gluten.
Hold on to the healing of your gut for six or eight weeks or even longer til it's deemed safe for not leaking again and then introduce probiotics and anti-fungals.
The most important amino acids for healing of mucosal lining are L-Glutamic acid and L-Arginine.
When the anti-candida protocol is activated the importance has to be just fighting systemic candida with systemic, but simple measures.
In the long run, improving digestion by backing up thyroid, GI tract and surrounding organs are the main factors for an impoved thermoregulation.
Choice of food, how you eat and what you choose to do after you've done the meal.
When you digest as followed by eating, you notice how the whole body focuses on the metabolism, as an example if you start running directly after eating supper you'll probably start cramping in the abdominal, and why's that is because digesting is a so energydemanding procedure that it needs to concentrate fully on just doing that.
Imagine all the hydrochloric acid that's being produced and all the splicing and sorting by enzymes of all the nutrients that's being ingested and transported to each part of the body for processing, some meats take up to an hour to digest so that's a lot of work for the gut to do.
As your digestive tract is working it produces heat depending on how easily the digestion goes, if the food is very hard to digest you lose more heat than how much energy goes into digesting which makes the body to lose efficiency and compromising with the body temperature, by then it is adamant on keeping the inner more vital parts warm while cooling down the outsides, which makes the pores on the skin tighten up more and allowing less heat to slip out, rough skin (goose flesh) evaporates less warmth than smooth skin and you'll probably feel bloody cold.
To elaborate on the whole process, digestion starts in your mouth and chewing longer makes it easier to digest so chewing well with smaller bites makes way for a healthier digestion.
As food reaches your gut the melting begins, the harder it is to digest the slower heat develops and the slower it goes the more energy you lose in the whole process.
Reminding that the pancrea suffers of slow metabolism too.
As all of the nutrients are absorbed and all the food has passed into the colon you are ready to start moving or exercising again, and that's probably one to two hours after you've eaten.
So one bit of the answer to raise your body temperature is simply to eat food that's less demanding of digestion as most of them also contain goitrogens, more about that in the next part.
Many systemic candida sufferers have been seeking aid for raising their low body temperature and usually ended up in the doctor's office for their suspicions of an troubling thyroid and the doctor has usually found nothing wrong with it.
The truth in these cases is that it's not defective, it just produces less hormones when the body is in certain fatigued states.
Still the doctor sends along some thyroid hormones for an hopeful recovery and first when the patient takes them there is a slight improvement but after time it wears out leaving the situation as it was before, now why it worked a little at the beginning may have been a placebo effect or trying to fool the conscience of the situation.
But it's just like masking the cause, you'll be found out sooner or later by your subconscious mind, the body's physiology is much more ingeniously designed than one may think.
To avoid hypothyroidism one have to avoid certain nutrients and highlight the complementation of iodine, iodine is vital because nothing can replace its' role with the thyroid.
It is estimated that 150-300mcg a day is enough, for adults even an intake roof of 1,000mcg can be safe.
Goitrogens (also known as goitrons) which suppress thyroid function prevents the thyroid from taking up iodine, goitrogens are found in cruciferous vegetables (brassica family) like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, fennel and also celery, additionally it's found in minerals such as calcium, manganese, magnesium and fluoride but minerals shouldn't be avoided completely as they are important for your health, additionally millet and peanuts contain goitrogens, a good rule is to eat around 1gr protein every 2lbs./1kg of bodyweight from various sources, but beware that meats contain thyroid suppressants.
Cooking neutralizes some of the goitrogens.
Low thyroid function slows down metabolism, relieving metabolism relieves the thyroid.
Slow metabolism is often deficient in hydrochloric acid, gastric acids normally kills candida, that's why the acid-forming organism acidophilus often helps alleviate candida.
Gastric juices may be stimulated with lemon water.
Food helpful for thyroid function: carrots, spinach, apricots, olive oil, avocado, sunflower seeds, oily fish.
Additionally there is a connection between glucose, adrenal glands and thyroid, when candida snatches the last part of the glucose the glands and thyroid are being robbed of its fuel and to revert this would be to focus on easy digestion and raise the body temperature with simple means so that an overgrowth of fungus retreats when they no longer tolerate surroundings to them.

http://www.centeru.com/library/thyroid.php (After 'What can be done if you need thyroid support?)
To treat hypothyroid conditions it's better to first treat the organs that supports it, the liver, pancreas and adrenal glands.
More about it here:
Diet beneficial for bodytemperature.
Since candida already inflicts restrictions to your diet the 'easy to digest'-diet isn't really more restrictions but instead emphasizing on the right type of foods that doesn't clog up your intestinal tracts and slow down metabolism which makes you lose ground on the thermoregulative battle.
*** Attention! ***
Hypoglycemia: too low blood sugars obstructs with body heat maintenance.
Improper digestion leads to a toxic body.
In cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, which contain not only goitrogens but also raffinose, a gas-inducing compound also found in beans, causes minor trouble for the intestines, especially cabbage is hard to digest.
Other foods hard to digest are legumes; beans, peas, nuts and lentils but especially nuts and beans belong to the most hard-digested foods out there.
Foods very hard to digest are yoghurt, jerusalem artichoke and eggwhites, those should be avoided if your body can't handle them, they deplete the gut of hydrochloric acid more than other foods which makes digestion difficult for everything that you eat afterwards, when hydrochloric acid runs low some of it is being replaced by lactic acid or other acids but those are not good alternatives since they don't work so well with the metabolism.
The more easy-digestible foods are what you would think the babies are eating, soups, mashes and sauces but what's more interesting is what you give to someone who's bedridden because of sickness, ricegruel! (ie brown rice in this case)
Grains are usually easy to digest but most of them are banished in the candida diet so alternatives like quinoa, amaranth, millet (beware goitrogens) and buckwheat has to be emphasized instead.
Fat, proteins and carbs are what your food usually contains and of those hardest to digest are fat followed by protein and then carbs, the diet has to constitute moderate amounts of each so they may fit into the frames of an easier to digest anti-candida diet, it is suggested that the anti-candida diet should consist of no more than 15 gram carbs per serving but a carb intake of 100 gram a day wouldn't cause much harm either.
Remember if the dose of the anti-fungals aren't sufficient the progress may take longer.
Allergies and toxins.
Toxins are connected to cells that can't carry out their duties because of toxins.
When you are in a leaky gut state much of the food turns into allergens as your body turns autoimmune, and when allergens or unidentified food-particles enters your bloodstream there are identifiers in your veins that notices these small culprits and alerts the headquarters, the allergens are reported and by restraining the bloodpressure it is easier to arrest these lost souls but this reprimendal makes the body colder.
As the bloodcells catches these toxins and transports them out they let go of their usual duties, amongst of them is delivering oxygen which should be raising the body temperature.
So toxins are one cause to low body temperature, when candida runs fewer in number so does the toxins and more oxygen can be carried out in your body.
Sidenote: Sub-toxins like mycotoxins from brown rice are not of a significant matter to interfere with the struggle against candida, colon cleanses and detoxes like sauna are encouraged.
To get rid of toxins in your body every day is significant to let the bloodcells and hormones free in your body, else the warm metabolism doesn't take place, colon cleanse is an easy way to relief that part.
Slow metabolism = slow bowel movements = slow recovering.
The alkaline and acidic balance is a little bit complicated to understand at first but once you get the hands on it it's easy to keep monitored, the fact is that the body just have to take control again and when it does that the regulative balance between alkaline and acidic will settle but has to be maintained like everything else needs maintenance to survive.
Let us get closer to it.
There are two theories on the pH-balance when fungi is present, one is that candida turns your intestines more acidic and the other is that it turns alkaline, which is true?
The most articles i've read about the alkaline-supporting theory are moreoften written by medical doctors experts on their fields and the acid-supporting articles moreoften have no authors mentioned.
But if you take a look at the gut and the acid in it, it's designed to be effective enough to digest the food and keep the intestines free from uninvited bacterias and other organisms, if it turns too alkaline it would allow more bacterias to pass and settle in the GI tract.
However when the acids in the gut are stabilized and the intestines' pH-levels are normal (neutral) and candida kept in check by the good flora then the balance should be fine.
The truth is that acidic food forms acids in your body of which everyone are dependable of like hydrochloric acid (gastric acid) but too much acidic input would create more mucus which candida and other microbial acts hide themselves in.
The key is to have both acidic and alkaline parts balanced, then accordingly adjust the diet to reduce the excessive mucus and on the other side to improve the recovering and body temperature, listen to it's pulse.
A good rule would be a 80/20 (alk/aci) balance for approaching from the traditional side and avoiding the mucus.
Also, these candida-type diets make people eat vegetables in the morning and that would be like a turnover since the body is designed to turn alkaline as the night arrives and acidic in the morning, that's why most people crave for a cup of coffee or two when they wake up, and why is the only raw/alkaline food in a breakfast often the freshly pressed juice?
It's liquid and doesn't need heavy digestion, i don't know how to cope with alkaline breakfasts but vegetable juice would be a perfect start.
The acidic side emphasizes productivity and energy while alkaline side promotes good sleep and calm mind.
Some nutritions that are acidic may leave an alkaline by-product behind which is called 'alkaline-ash', same goes for 'acidic-ash', alkaline-ash forming are tea, lemon water amongst others.
A rule of a thumb is to eat the raw food first and then the cooked one because if you eat them mixed it ends in indigestion since different pH-levels are needed for alkaline and acidic digestion accordingly, and if you mix raw with cooked food the easily digested ones may fall behind the meat and rot since they don't make it to the small intestine in time.
Fruit shall be eaten alone since it has an effect of it's own on the metabolism.
Meat doesn't have fibers like grains or vegetables so make sure you make it run smoothly through your intestines.
Relieving digestion.
Fibers are usually sensitive issues in bowel diseases, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or diverticulitis, a good suggestion would be using detoxifying clay instead.
Certain fibers derived from grains may have a troublesome effect on the systems causing bloating, gas or diarrhea, more soluble ones from are promoted.
Sprouting seed, peas, beans and lentils are easier to digest or soaking them overnight.
Digestive enzymes are crucial for the one who wants to turn the metabolic state upright again, they aid in digestion or when taken between the meals aiding in processes throughout the whole body and not just that, they rip on the defense-walls of the fungis which makes them vulnerable against anti-fungals, digestive enzymes and garlic are of the few nutritions/supplements that fungus can't turn immune against.
When the pancrea runs low on enzymes it calls on help from the repairers of the body to aid with the digestion leaving your body more vulnerable for attacks, so it's a most vital stand to emphasize digestive enzymes, dosage vary but i would say that don't take more than 140% of what's recommended on the label.
Oversupplementing pancreatic enzymes may cause them to start extracting pieces of your body instead if they don't have tasks at their hands.

BAY CITY, MI — It started with a simple request.
When restoration of the State Theatre began in the early 2000s, Patti Loree, then director, asked Mary Greene if she would compile a history of the theater.
Greene obliged, turning that simple request into the book, "Saturday Afternoon at the Bijou, Single Screen Theatres of Bay City, Bay County Michigan 1903 to Present."
"She wanted a history of the State Theatre," said Greene, who authored the book under the name Mary M. Lord Evans Greene. "I began to see how many there were and decided to do a whole history of the area. No one has done it, so I did it."
As part of Michigan History Day, Greene presents her findings during the Bay County Historical Society's Second Saturday Series program at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 8, at the Delta College Planetarium, 100 Center Ave. in downtown Bay City.
What Greene discovered on her journey is the fact over the years the area has been home to no less than 63 theaters.
"Some theaters closed and were renamed in the same building," Greene said, explaining the number.
For example: beginning with the Pictureland in 1914, this theater on Columbus Avenue became the Columbus in 1922, followed by the Rivoli in 1931 and the Tivoli in 1933 before becoming The Pines in 1947 followed by the Pines Hitching Post. Since 1954 it's been known as Bay City Players.
Putting this coffee table book, filled with ads from the bygone days, together was no easy feat.
"It was almost overwhelming," said Greene. "I let it sit for three years. All of this came out of The Bay City Times. I spent over a year in the library getting out those old newspapers, copying those old original ads. I wanted the opening dates and the closing dates. That became the way I would frame it."
Greene said the during the course of her research, she found a few surprises, like the size of the ads in the newspaper.
"They would always have large articles in the newspapers advertising the movies," she said. "They had a whole page or a half page, sometimes for a grand opening, it would be a two page spread."
She was also surprised to learn that many theaters closed down during the summer months.
"There was no air conditioning," said Greene. "There was also a big concern about catching some kind of contagious disease. There was a big influenza epidemic in 1913, and they closed the theaters.
The younger generation may be surprised to learn admission to those shows of old, like "The Lone Ranger," "Way Out West," The Man I Love" and the biggie — Rudolph Valentino in "Son of the Sheik" — only cost a dime, or perhaps 15 cents.
Guess what was showing at the Temple — not the one in Saginaw, but rather the theater once located at 109 S. Linn St.? "The Perils of Pauline," The Robbery at Pine River" and Bill Saves the Day," with orchestra music, Greene noted.
Stars of the day included Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, Laurel and Hardy, Popeye and Mae West.
Green's book is dotted with ads from bygone businesses, along with photos of many of the old theaters.
As for the history of the State, it began life as the Bijou, followed by the Orpheum, then the Bay before becoming the State.

Actor Mickey Rourke, who was replaced by actor Michael Madsen after just one day on the set of the action film Luck of the Draw, did not get the ax only because he was unable to remember his lines. I hear that Rourke, who played an ex-con in the film (which also stars Dennis Hopper and Eric Roberts), also made the unreasonable demand that his little dog be included in a warehouse shoot-out scene. What's more, "he didn't even recognize Dennis Hopper," my source says. Rourke's lawyer declined comment.
In soul singer Ike Turner's candid new tell-all Takin' Back My Name, due from Virgin Books on Sept. 27, Ike suggests that he and ex Tina Turner might work together again. "I feel that this is something the public would want to see," Turner writes. " 'Ike and Tina back together' would make the front page of every newspaper in the world. It would be no sweat off her back.... We don't even have to talk. If she don't want to see me, she don't have to see me."
Arabella Churchill, granddaughter of Sir Winston, was livid when she opened London's Daily Mirror and read that she "is having a facelift to stop her looking like the legendary statesman." But the 49-year-old Arabella, who once posed for British Vogue and who is indeed having a facelift this fall, says the Mirror has it all wrong. "When I was young and beautiful, I still looked like my grandfather," she told Insider. "And I hope that after the surgery I will look younger and prettier, but I will still look like a Churchill."
Actor-screenwriter Albert Brooks, whose new comedy The Muse is about a screenwriter who employs a muse (Sharon Stone), inserted one real-life line into the film. It is the one where his character is told by a studio to vacate his office immediately because director Brian De Palma needs it. "Paramount Studios told me that De Palma needed my office," says Brooks. But he doesn't know if De Palma ever moved in. "I didn't go back and check. I could have called and hung up, but I didn't."
Fast Takes: Madonna, who suffers from insomnia, is finally getting a good night's sleep: She has started drinking "kabbalah water"—spring water blessed by a rabbi versed in the Jewish mystical tradition—which purports to "rejuvenate the body and soul." Madonna reportedly called a rabbi at the L.A. Kabbalah Center and told him it did the trick....
Tippi Hedren just started shooting a TV pilot in Las Vegas called The Strip, in which she plays a former stripper. "I need to work," says the actress, who runs a private animal preserve near L.A. "All my money goes into supporting the preserve."

Some time in the next few years, NASA may launch a space telescope whose main optical element is a cast-off, second-hand hunk of glass donated by another government agency.
This is not as outlandish a notion as it may seem at first glance. The item in question is the most important—and expensive—part of a telescope: its primary reflecting mirror.
The story calls to mind what happened when planning was underway for the Hubble Space Telescope back in the 1980s, but in reverse. The original Hubble blueprints called for a mirror 118 inches, or 3 meters, in diameter. At that time, the project was called the "Large Space Telescope."
But NASA ran into budgetary difficulties (from which it is still suffering, of course). The project had to be downsized. Planners settled on a mirror diameter of 94 inches (2.4 meters). In protest, scientists immediately stopped using the word "Large" in the telescope's name any longer. (Of course the Hubble went on to become amazingly successful nevertheless.).
Why did they choose 94 inches? It's because another governmental agency had experience with mirrors of this size.
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is in charge of Americ's surveillance satellites. Over the years, they have put a large number (they won't admit exactly how many) of these "Keyhole" spy satellites, with their 94-inch mirrors, into orbit. They know how to make such mirrors, and how to plan the detecting instruments and support framework to make them succeed.
This knowledge helped speed the development of the Hubble and made it more reliable.
Back to today. One of NASA's big plans for the future is a wide-angle, sensitive infrared telescope called WFIRST (Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope). Such an instrument would do an in-depth survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths. It would help locate Earth-like planets orbiting around distant suns, and provide valuable information about the current big mystery in astrophysics, dark matter.
But NASA would find it difficult to get such a project funded at this time. Big mirrors aren't cheap. And most of the current NASA budget is earmarked for the Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, which is already far over budget long before its launch date.
If they could create the WFIRST at all, they knew they could afford a mirror no more than 59 inches (1.5 meters) in diameter.
Then, in 2011, the NRO unexpectedly offered to turn over two of its mirrors, originally intended for its spy satellites, to NASA for its own use. It's not clear why this was done. A new type of Keyhole satellite had gone into production, and perhaps this type of mirror was no longer usable for their purposes.
Of course, with the generous funding available to a defense agency, the NRO could afford to give away valuable property that less well-endowed departments like NASA couldn't afford to make for itself.
These mirrors may be the same diameter as the mirror in the Hubble, but they are quite different in other ways. Their curvature is stronger; the mirror surfaces are more bowl-like than the more gently-curved Hubble mirror. This results in a much shorter focal length (and therefore a shorter telescope).
But this is a good thing! It's what will allow WFIRST to be a wide-angle observer.
The Hubble was designed to look at very tiny pieces of the sky, to get as much high-resolution data as possible for those spots. WFIRST, on the other hand, is primarily meant to be a survey instrument, looking at large areas of the sky at a time. The short focal lengths of the new mirrors do exactly this. WFIRST will be able to see a swath of sky 100 times broader than can Hubble.
In a reversal of the history of the Hubble, NASA's preliminary plans for the new telescope had called for a mirror only 59 inches across; they could afford no bigger. The donation of the 94-inch mirrors changed everything.
The new mirrors may seem to represent an increase of only about 60%over the original plans, but that's not the case. The light-gathering power of a mirror depends directly on its area, rather than its diameter. The NRO mirrors are two and half times bigger in this respect! (For you math majors, the area of a circle is proportional to the square of the diameter).
You might think that NASA should build two new space telescopes, since it now has two new mirrors. But NRO gave them only the mirrors, and the associated costs of creating an infrared space telescope are still quite large even if the mirror is free.
As Paul Hertz, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division, said, ""We don't, at this point in time, ever anticipate being rich enough to use both of them, but it sure would be fun to think about, wouldn't it?"
Even a single WFIRST is still uncertain. NASA has pondered the feasibility and financing of the telescope for nearly two years. In particular, an infrared telescope requires a large, heavy cooling system, so that the detectors will be measuring radiation from celestial objects rather than heat given off by the telescope's framework, and such a cooling system is expensive.
But if this project succeeds, we may one day have a telescope as large as the Hubble—the most productive instrument ever put in space—that can do things the Hubble can't even consider.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) - Michelle Wie fell from a tie for the lead into a tie for 12th in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Friday.
Wie, a Punahou School graduate, carded a 3-over-par 75 in the second round at Guadalajara Country Club for a 3-under total of 141. She was eight shots behind the leader, Angela Stanford (67).
The second of Wie's two LPGA Tour victories came at the Ochoa Invitational in 2010.
Stanford, who had six birdies Friday - including four in a row on the seventh through 10th holes - won the inaugural event in 2008.
Inbee Park was two shots back after a 68. Cristie Kerr was third at 146 under after a 69.
Wie opened her round with a double bogey, and played the front nine in 3 over. She had two birdies and two bogeys on the back, and played the course's four par-5 holes in 1 over.

UTAS Home › Faculty of Arts › Visual and Performing Arts › Our Research › Voice Theatre Lab - "5"
Five is a sacred number. It is the symbol of the human being. There are five naked eye planets, there are five senses and there are five basic emotions. '5', explores the Wu Xing, the five elements and five cardinal directions in Chinese philosophy. These elements [wood, fire, metal, water, earth] are linked with the voice and emotional expression, cardinal directions and colours to form an abstract exploration of the human voice and body. Individual elements are represented through movement, primitive vocal expressions and made-up language. Each element corresponds with a colour: Fire – red, Earth – yellow, Metal – white, Water – black (or blue), Wood – green (or blue). Each element and colour has been linked with a basic emotion.
There is no dialogue, and if any words are spoken throughout the performance, they are made up, improvised words spurred on by impulse and as a reaction to a certain image (either internal image, or external, like from other performers' movements or gestures).
'5' is not a conventional, narrative play. Instead, it is an exploration of devices (e.g., exercises, concepts and ideas) used throughout Voice Theatre's 2008 training sessions.
'5' is a flexible performance, it can be performed anywhere and can run for any length of time.
Rehearsal photos by Ellissa Nolan
"If words are our thoughts in action, then what are we to make of a performance of complex story-telling where there are no words, just sounds. One might say that ballet and dance cope with this very well, and any addition of sounds might enhance meaning. '5' is a physical and vocal journey exploring the number '5' and as such it is presented as neither a scripted piece nor a dance piece. The director, Robert Lewis, claims that there is no story either, but rather interconnections of scenes which depict the five natural elements inspired by the 'Wu Xing' in Chinese philosophy. What the actors are able to do, though, is present powerful connections, destructions, yearnings, responses and emotions of all kinds just through a heightened use of voice and appropriate physicalisation.
This kind of presentation is not for faint-hearted actors, either, for the extraordinary use of voice is taken to a level not often heard on stage. The actors use an astonishing range of vocal techniques way beyond what is required for normal text-based work and as such extend the audience's involvement in the journey which the actor's take in representing and defining their particular element. Often there were intense moments, either as soloist or ensemble, but there were also times when there was a noticeable holding back as if self-exploration stayed in the comfort zone rather than impulsively letting go. The same could be said for the spontaneity inherent in the semi-improvisational techniques used by the actors: when they were really in the moment there were harrowing and wonderful sequences, but there were also times when it was clear that the sound was predetermined no matter what influence was at work.
It is a pity that in our human world of emotions and feelings there is only one positive against four negatives. As such, most of '5' is quite intense, moving from one conflict to another, pulling apart and destroying any hope of conciliation. However, happiness was represented, but was mostly overwhelmed, which meant that there was virtually no relief from the onslaught and no longed-for sense of smiling calm, of warm harmony, and of resolution.
Western philosophies look for cause and effect but Lewis examines the integration of voice and body and introduces us, through the performers, to three types of 'crisis': conceptual, physical and vocal. These are wonderfully demonstrated throughout, and what emerged at times was a thrilling balletic soundscape. '5' is an effective demonstration of the power of the emotion, the body and the voice. We are lucky to have people who have the talent to deconstruct, to abstract and entertain us with this unique style of theatre. The number 5 is a sacred number in many cultures whether of elements, directions, feelings, body culture, medicine or other worldly or unnatural phenomena. To interpret these in movement and vocal expression is insightful and exploratory. The result deserves five stars."

Anything more than a mouthful goes to waste ;--))
Anyway, its whats up front that counts ! !
I can't wait for the day that I can retire me 40DD bra and wear a nice flattering CUTE 36C!! If they shrink lower than that, we're gonna have problems, but even when I was super skinny in high school I had Cs, so here's to hoping...
I did, however, tell DH that if they DON'T shrink on their own, I'll find a doctor who will shrink them for me.

IRVING - The last time the Dallas Cowboys played the Philadelphia Eagles, the buildup was all about Terrell Owens - just the way he likes it.
Sorry, T.O. This Christmas afternoon rematch is about something far more important: deciding the NFC East champion.
That will definitely be the case if the Cowboys win. A victory would seal Dallas' first division title since 1998, the last full season that Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin played together.
If the Eagles win, they will need to follow with a victory against Atlanta in the finale to seal their fifth division title in six years. Philadelphia also could do it by beating Dallas and losing to the Falcons, but only if the Cowboys end up losing their finale at home against lowly Detroit.
Christmas Showdown
The Game: Philadelphia Eagles (8-6) at Dallas Cowboys (9-5), 4 p.m. today, Texas Stadium, Irving.
At Stake: Dallas can clinch the NFC East title. Philadelphia can gain the inside track to the title.
Tuning In: KAMR, KGNC 710-AM, KPUR 1440-AM.
It would be a stunning rally for the Eagles. Coming off their T.O. tumult of 2005, the Eagles were 5-5 when they lost quarterback Donovan McNabb to a knee injury. They dipped to 5-6 when Jeff Garcia lost his first start, forcing them to take a losing record into December.
"That was even more reason for people to believe that this team couldn't battle through those difficult times and find a way to turn around," Garcia said.
Then how did they do it?
"I really give credit to my teammates, the coaching staff and the people within the organization for believing in themselves, continuing to battle week in and week out even when everybody else was counting us out," he said.
Philadelphia coach Andy Reid kept his spirits up with some encouragement from a surprising source.
"Coach (Bill) Parcells called me up and told me not to be pessimistic," Reid said. "He relayed to me the story of about when (Phil) Simms went down and they had the quarterback change and they kept on winning at a championship-caliber level. If I had any plan of keeping my head down, he took care of that."
Say what you want about potentially helping a division rival. To Parcells, sharing the story of his 1990 New York Giants was treating a younger coach the way older coaches had treated him.
"There's kind of like a little kinship even though you're rivals," the Dallas head coach said. "When I was a young coach in this league, several of the more senior coaches, several, not all but several, took time for me.
''I'm not trying to be corny or anything, but I made up my mind that if I was ever in that spot I would always do that for any young coach, and I have done that."
Considering how things have turned out, does he regret it?
"No," Parcells said. "If you've got to be doing something on Christmas, it might as well be something important."
More important than, say, Owens' return to Philly, the story that dominated the focus of the teams' first meeting in early October, a game the Eagles won, 38-24.
"It's about us going and winning the division," Cowboys cornerback Aaron Glenn said. "One of our goals is to do that, and it's on the line right now, staring us in the face. These are the games you love to be in. This is what you play this game for, to be in situations like that. Either you're going to do it or you're not."
Even T.O. says there's nothing personal at stake.
"No, not at all," said Owens, who leads the league in touchdowns (11), dropped passes (11) and spitting fines (one for $35,000). "I feel like we've gotten ourselves in a situation where they're trying to be, and we can eliminate them. We're just going to go out there and do what we've been doing since Romo's been at quarterback and just try to get a win."
Ah, yes. The Tony Romo factor. Dallas is 6-2 since Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe, a move Parcells began considering more seriously after the veteran was sacked seven times and threw three interceptions against the Eagles.
Despite it all, Bledsoe had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds but threw his final pick, which Lito Sheppard returned 102 yards for a touchdown.
Romo has been so good in his half-season that he made the Pro Bowl last week. His rise has been so phenomenal his teammates are starting to believe anything is possible for this team.
"I talked to Santa," Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears said. "And I think we're going to get this W on Monday.''

It's impossible to agree all the time and it's normal to have differences, especially when it comes to being a parent. Making up after a row always helps but being able to stay calm when an argument starts can stop it escalating. It's easier said than done, but verbal and physical aggression can damage a relationship and is distressing for children and babies.
Working on your friendship and fondness for each other won't stop you arguing but it will help prevent arguments from getting out of hand. Having a fundamentally positive view of your partner is a powerful buffer when the not-so-good times hit and by reminding yourself of your partner's positive qualities, you can prevent a happy relationship from deteriorating.
This exercise encourages you to get into the habit of thinking positive thoughts rather than negative ones about your partner.
Think about when you first met your partner.
- What first attracted you to them?
- What do you now value and admire in them?
Write down as many positive qualities as you can that you feel describe your partner.
For example:
- Loving
- Considerate
- Sensitive
- Brave
- Intelligent
- Funny
- Generous
- Strong...and so on...
Once you have done this, select three from your list and think of a time for each of them when your partner demonstrated that quality. Don't forget to show him; perhaps he could do it for you!
A. Personal quality: (eg kindness)
A time when they demonstrated this (eg when they helped out a friend/family member/someone in need beyond the normal call of duty)
B. Personal quality: (eg calm in a crisis)
A time when they demonstrated this: (when you got lost at night in the car and they kept you calm and found the way home)
C. Personal quality: (eg loving you just as you are)
A time when they demonstrated this: (eg when you made a mistake and were upset and they told you it didn't matter and hugged you instead of criticising or saying "I told you so")
What else can you do to stop that argument from escalating? Is there anything you already do? Remember that laughter is a good tool for diffusing an argument and it's vital to keep the lines of communication open.
Netmums Better Together Relationship Course
Why not try this exercise - it will help you to explore how you might put the brakes on when things start getting difficult between you:
- Think about your own and your partner's ways of trying to restore the harmony
- Try and identify those small things you and your partner do (or might do) to help stop difficult moments from getting worse
- Can you ask your partner what they do to try to stop a row before it gets started?
- Would it help to explain your attempts to your partner?
If you know what to look and listen out for, you might find that your partner makes more attempts to put things right than you realised!

Call him Joey, Joe, even Joseph. Anything is fine with him—especially since landing a spot on Dancing with the Stars. "This has been such a positive experience," says Lawrence, 30, of competing on the reality hit. "My wife and I were such fans of the show. We loved watching Drew Lachey." Best known as dopey hunk Joey Russo on the '80s sitcom Blossom, the showbiz vet sat down to chat with PEOPLE's Monica Rizzo.
"People either love it or hate it," he says of his Mr. Cleanish do. "But I like it, so who cares?" Not that he had much of a choice: Lawrence broke out the razor to play a cop in the 2006 horror movie Rest Stop, and about a month later, producers on Dancing embraced the look.
In a season of Dancing hookups (way to go, Willa Ford!), Lawrence is happily ensconced in his own non-ballroom-related bliss. At Disney World in 1993, Lawrence invited Chandie Yawn on an ice cream date. "Being the cheesy romantic that I was, I said, 'Hey look, there's the Disney wedding chapel! Maybe we'll get married there one day,'" he recalls. "Long story short, we did !" But first Lawrence "played the field" and wed Michelle Vella in 2002. When he got divorced three years later and reunited with Yawn, he recalls, "we hugged for about five hours."
Count Lawrence's 6-month-old daughter Charli among those who dig him bald. "She sits in bed with me for 45 minutes in the morning and rubs my head," he says, adding that he and Yawn delight in watching the stages of childhood. Their daughter "just started on sweet potatoes," he brags.
Lawrence, who lives in L.A., earned child-star cred on the 1980s series Gimme a Break and heartthrob status on Blossom—even making catchphrase history with his nasal "Whoa!" Still, "I haven't reached where I want to go in my career," he says. "George Clooney did pilot after pilot before he finally got ER. Now he's got the career he's always wanted. I want to emulate that."
"I wake up and the balls of my feet are on fire," says Lawrence. Even after daily eight-hour rehearsals, his partner Edyta Sliwinska says his timing was still off. "He's always 15 minutes late," she sighs. "I think it's a Hollywood thing."

Some Inmates Forego Health Care to Avoid Higher Fees
Before a recent hearing, attorney Michelle Smith learned that her client, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate, would not be arriving at the courtroom.
Smith, who works on prisoners' rights with the Texas Civil Rights Project, later received word that the inmate, instead of attending his hearing, was lying in an emergency room. He had become sick, but decided not to see a doctor, because it would have cost him $100. In the past it had only cost $3, and he decided the higher price wasn't worth his commissary money.

Albert Einstein's special mark on the universe
It has been exactly 100 years since Albert Einstein presented his theory of general relativity to an audience of scientists on November 25, 1915. While virtually everyone has heard of Einstein and his theory, very few people have any idea of what the theory actually is.
This is a shame, not only because there is a great public thirst for understanding of it, but also because relativity is important, for at least four major reasons. Read more...

How are all those screens changing kids' behavior?
In a recent op-ed in the New York Times, businessman and author Tony Schwartz offered an honest yet troubling account of what he calls his "addiction" to technology.
The medical and research fields have not yet come to a clear consensus on what constitutes technology "addiction" and which factors distinguish a true technology addiction disorder from problematic use or just bad habits. But the behavior Schwartz describes is remarkably familiar to those of us who are on our devices more than we know we ought to be. Read more...

Statisticians issue warning over misuse of P valuesPolicy statement aims to halt missteps in the quest for certainty.
Misuse of the P value — a common test for judging the strength of scientific evidence — is contributing to the number of research findings that cannot be reproduced, the American Statistical Association (ASA) warns in a statement released today. The group has taken the unusual step of issuing principles to guide use of the P value, which it says cannot determine whether a hypothesis is true or whether results are important.
This is the first time that the 177-year-old ASA has made explicit recommendations on such a foundational matter in statistics, says executive director Ron Wasserstein. The society's members had become increasingly concerned that the P value was being misapplied in ways that cast doubt on statistics generally, he adds. Read more...

Waltzing on a tightropeBy Mythri Pullela | November 28, 2015
Scientific endeavors can be described as nothing short of the proverbial term-'Playing with fire'. Like fire, it is great potential and hazard rolled into one. But the one strong resemblance that leads me to this comparison is how we learn from it. A child would know not to get too close to his birthday candle once he burns himself. True, we get numerous warnings from our ever-watchful parents but nothing teaches us what the flame does like our first burn. It is true that experiences in the lab help us to learn from our mistakes but how do we avoid such 'mistakes'? Most of the scientific guidelines we have today are a result of experiences (unfortunately most of them unpleasant ones) from the past. Read more ...
