For forty years, Solomon SnyderArticle has been in the forefront of research in psychopharmacology. In this summary of his lecture given on the reception of the 2001 Institute of Medicine's Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health, he reviews critical discoveries about fundamental mechanisms involved in chemical neurotransmission that led to a better understanding of how psychotropic medications exert their effects to more recent identification of novel therapeutic targets.
For decades, Michael RutterArticle has led child psychiatry in applying scientific methods to study the role of development in the cause of psychiatric morbidity. In this summary of his lecture given on his reception of the 2001 Institute of Medicine's Sarnat International Prize in Mental Health, he reviews the advances in the fields of psychiatric genetics, psychosocial influence, and developmental processes that are illuminating the interplay between susceptibility genes and psychosocial adversity resulting in age-related changes in psychopathology.
Imaging studies have demonstrated gray matter volume decrements in schizophrenia. As clinical deterioration is greatest in the early stages of schizophrenia, one would expect gray matter to decrease progressively, particularly in first-episode patients. Cahn et alArticle have examined gray matter volumes at inclusion and after 1 year in 34 first-episode patients and 36 healthy comparison subjects. Gray matter volume progressively decreased in schizophrenia. Decrements were independently associated with poorer outcome and with higher doses of antipsychotic medication. This suggests that progressive loss of gray matter occurs in the early stages of schizophrenia and is related to the disease process and antipsychotic medication.
Doniger et alArticle compared subjects with schizophrenia and matched controls for their ability to recognize degrade of images of common objects, presented sequentially from more degraded to less. Recognition, known as perceptual closure, is associated with an event-related potential recorded over the visual association cortex. Schizophrenic subjects exhibited significant impairments in perceptual closure as well as the amplitude of the associated event-related potential when compared with controls. The results suggest an impairment of magnocellular functioning involved in image recognition but not in primary visual cortical functioning in schizophrenia.
Koro et alArticle found that olanzapine exposure was associated with increased risk of hyperlipidemia in schizophrenia patients. Subjects prescribed olanzapine exhibited more than a 3-fold increase in the odds of developing hyperlipidemia compared to conventional antipsychotic patients. In contrast, exposure to risperidone was not associated with increased odds of hyperlipidemia. The increased risk of hyperlipidemia among olanzapine users raises serious questions about the risk-benefit ratio for olanzapine use in schizophrenia patients. This is particularly true since schizophrenia patients tend to exhibit other major risk factors for cardiovascular events, such as smoking, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes mellitus, and weight gain.
Persons with generalized social phobia (GSP) fear and avoid interacting with others, and are hypersensitive to disapproval. Stein et alArticle used functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) to study the neural circuitry of facial affect processing in persons with GSP. They find that compared with healthy subjects, persons with GSP display increased activation of the amygdala when processing disorder-salient stimuli (ie, angry or contemptuous faces). These findings are consistent with a role for differential amygdala functioning (also implicated in the pathophysiology of several other anxiety disorders) in the neurobiology of GSP.
In a prospective longitudinal study of a community sample over 20 years, Brook et alArticle found that earlier illegal drug use in adolescence was significantly associated with major depressive disorder, alcohol dependence, and substance use disorders in young adulthood, after taking into account other potential risks, including disadvantaged socioeconomic status, age, gender, and previous episodes of major depressive disorder and substance use disorders. Earlier alcohol use was associated with later major depressive disorder, alcohol dependence, and substance use disorders. However, earlier tobacco use was associated with later alcohol dependence and substance use disorders, but not with new episodes of major depressive disorder.
Ganguli et alArticle performed a 10-year prospective epidemiological study in a largely blue-collar cohort of 1064 adults aged 67 years and older. Predictors of mortality at 3-, 5-, and 10-year end points were older age, male sex, disability in instrumental activities of daily living, and number of regularly taken prescription drugs, all measured at baseline. Cognitive functioning predicted mortality only when disability in instrumental activities of daily living was excluded from the model. Depression by itself predicted mortality in the shorter (3-year and5-year) rather than the longer (10-year) term. However, in combination with poor self-rating of health, depression strongly predicted mortality at all end points.
Asarnow et alArticle investigated the hypothesis that first-degree relatives of probands with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) are at increased risk for specific neurocognitive impairments. They compared parents of COS probands, parents of patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and parents of controls on 3 neurocognitive tasks. Rigorous cutting scores for performance on the 3 tasks robustly discriminated parents of COS subjects from those with ADHD or controls. This neurocognitive strategy may yield a higher level of diagnostic accuracy for use in genetic linkage studies.
Environmental contaminants polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxin-like chemicals are known to cause neurocognitive damage in children born to exposed mothers. In 1992-1995, Lai et alArticle followed118 children born to mothers exposed to PCBs and dioxin-like chemicals due to consumption of contaminated rice oil in 1978, and found that the exposed children had lowered IQs than controls as measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children–Revised, and more behavioral problems than controls assessed by the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Rutter Child Behavior Scale A. It was concluded that prenatal exposure to these compounds produced long-lasting cognitive and behavioral sequelae.

It Runs in the Family
The tribute to America's love affair with the Douglas family was best exemplified by the fact that two of the other five people in my theater were taking wagers on what date Kirk Douglas would die.
The film includes four members of the Douglas clan: Michael Douglas, Kirk Douglas, Cameron Douglas (Michael's kid) and Diana Douglas (Michael's mother and Kirk's ex-wife). They have the same familial relationships in the movie that they do in real life. The fairly obvious casting decision (as opposed to Michael's mother playing his wife, for example) is about the only thing this film has going for it.
Director Fred Schepisi, who's last remotely tolerable film was "Six Degrees of Separation" a whopping ten years ago, conducts this film like he's the one who's had a stroke. It follows the dysfunctional Gromberg family on a road to nowhere. Basically, we get to spend a few days with Alex (Michael), his wife Rebecca (Bernadette Peters), their sons Asher (Cameron) and Eli (Rory Culkin), and Alex's parents, Evelyn (Diana) and Mitchell (Kirk), as they snipe at each other. The film is about as exciting as witnessing some dull suburban family's therapy session.
I'm really most appalled at the fact that this film has absolutely no story. All that happens is that the Grombergs go through a phase. Eli's phase is that he kisses a girl and toughens up a bit. Asher's phase is that he messes up badly and realizes he needs to grow up. Alex's phase is that he learns he needs to focus on what's important.
Mr. Cranky's phase was that I learned what a steaming pile of crap the "phase" movie can be.

Trout Says Canelo is no Different from Cotto.
WBA champion austin trout (26-0, 14 KOs) sees WBC champion canelo alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KOs) using the same strategy as miguel cotto, trout said to RingTV. trout was able to neutralize cottos left hooks by staying at a distance, jabbing and grabbing when he would come in cottos range.
if trout truly believes canelo will fight the same as cotto, he's in for a rude awakening. canelo may not have the same footwork as cotto but he is much more accurate with his punches and has a lot more power.
many people say it's a big mistake for canelo to take on trout but i think canelo has the potential to knock out trout with a wicked body shot and i'm not even a fan of the guy.
if canelo somehow manages to get past trout with flying colors, then i think the next big fight would be canelo vs. martinez at 154, that is if a catch weight is not possible (i'm thinking 157 lbs.)
your thoughts?

It's actually hard to accurately evaluate where Canelo is at this stage if his career because his competition has been sub par C grade fighters. He looks like he has the goods but his record is padded with below average competition. I like the kid but he needs to step it up. This trout fight will tell a lot about Canelo.

Canelo isn't going to be looking to get Trout on the ropes. So how exactly are they similar? Man he is in for a big surprise.
I haven't been this confident in a fight since Pac Marquez when I predicted the knockout. Trout will have his moments early because he'll try to clinch all night on but Canelo will finish him late. Canelo's underrated jab and body work will get it done.

This fight is bigger for Canelo than it is trout because Canelo has been protected and I think Canelo knows this which is why he wanted this fight more than anyone if this big 22 year old boy wins this fight against a real 154 champ he earns his fight with floyd and hopefully bring a huge fight this feb and maybe even dethrone the current p4p king...which I highly doubt

i couldnt agree more. canelo looks like a monster, but you cant tell until hes in there with better opposition. guys with power always look great on their way up and get loads of hype. but it isnt until they have a real test on their hands that we can tell if they know how to apply that power at the highest level. you dont know how good they are defensively either since most of their opponents just focused on surviving.
this indeed will tell us a lot about canelo. he might put trout to sleep or he might get taken to school, i look forward to finding out.

trout is pretty dumb if he thinks the ginger is a Cotto clone. the ginger is a lot bigger, stronger, and unlike Cotto has power in both hands. if this is his attitude, he is gonna get beat.

25 totally unnecessary spin-offs
Jack Coleman, who played HRG (Horn-Rimmed Glasses) aka Noah Bennett, is the first original cast member to sign on for the upcoming miniseries,�Deadline�reports. The mysterious HRG, who worked for The Company and was father to cheerleader Claire (Hayden Panettiere), quickly became a fan favorite and was promoted from recurring character to regular during the first season.
Little is known about�Heroes: Reborn�except that it will run for 13 episodes and air in 2015. In April, former cast member Panettiere said she�had not been asked�to join the miniseries.�Deadline�says Zachary Quinto, who played Skylar, and Milo Ventimiglia, who played Peter Petrelli, are not available for�Heroes: Reborn.
Worst ways to go: The most outrageous TV deaths
Coleman recently had recurring roles on�Burn Notice�and�The Vampire Diaries, and made a guest appearance on�Scandal.

Luxi is a family of typefaces originally designed for the X Window System by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow from Bigelow & Holmes Inc. The Luxi typefaces are similar to Lucida – their previous font design.
Luxi fonts were once commonly distributed with free software operating systems, such as Linux. They were featured as the default fonts for Red Hat's Bluecurve theme. Released under a licence which permits free distribution but not modification, the Luxi fonts are not free software.[1] This led to their removal from Debian package of XFree86 as well as Fedora.[2][3]
- Luxi Sans, a family of four sans-serif fonts.
- Luxi Serif, a family of four serif fonts.
- Luxi Mono, a family of four monospace fonts.
- Only version 1.2 (created on 2001-10-12) is available.
- Inititially, they appeared as Type 1 fonts under the name Lucidux in XFree86 4.0 (released on 2000-03-08, added to XFree86 3.9.18Za a day earlier).
- They are available as TTF fonts since XFree86 4.2.0 (18 January 2002); they were added to the XFree86 source tree on the 12th of December 2001 (XFree86 184.108.40.206).

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — A Boca Raton man is behind bars this Friday after police say he bit off the pinky finger of his brother-in-law.
Jean Gerard Saintilus, 28, allegedly was fighting with his relative when he attacked the man, chomping down on the little right finger and biting it off.
Saintilus — who lives on SW 15th Street — was transported to the Palm Beach County Jail where he remains. He has been charged with aggravated battery and is being held without bond.
In an affidavit of probable cause that could only be written by a police department in Florida, the first officer on the scene writess, " Upon arrival to the scene, I observed black male Jean Saintilus in the middle of the dead end road holding a coconut up to the sky. Jean then started to chant and then cracked the coconut on the roadway."
In another key part, the officer wrote: "Jean says his brother-in-law bit him, so he bit him back."
Then, in a bit of unintended comedy, Boca police gave the victim a "domestic violence" pamphlet, but the victim could not sign for it "due to the injury to his right hand."
We do not have word on the fate of the finger, nor do we know which doctors at Boca Regional hospital may have had a hand in trying to reattach it to the victim.

Mobile devices could become their own mice
Mobile devices such as smartphones are truly amazing in what they can do, but are often frustrating to use - many people don't particularly enjoy poking at tiny buttons, or obscuring the onscreen display with their own fingers. Newly-developed technology, however, is addressing these annoyances. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute have found a way of turning mobile devices into their own mice.
The system was designed by PhD student Chris Harrison and his faculty adviser, Prof. Scott Hudson. The pair discovered that by placing two mouse-style optical sensors on the back of a device, then placing it against a surface, the whole object could work like a mouse. If you wanted to select the top left icon on your smartphone display, for instance, you could just move the whole phone in an upward left direction.
The new input method, called Minput, responds to up-down, side-to-side, twisting and flicking motions. Twisting proved particularly popular with test users, and could be used to zoom in or out of photos or documents. Flicking, on the other hand, could be used to toggle between photos.
Harrison and Hudson also see great potential for fine work, such as highlighting a line of text within a document, that would be hard to do on a small touchscreen.
For their prototype, the Carnegie Mellon researchers used a wristwatch-sized television. Processing was performed by a separate laptop computer, although Harrison thinks it would be relatively easy to miniaturize the processors and move them onboard. Given that the sensors were only about a dollar each, Minput would not necessarily be a costly extra feature.

I'm having a hard time getting fish down. I thought I'd try to make breaded fish sticks using Almond flour. Any tips on how to do this successfully? Do I need egg? What is the best kind of non-fishy fish to use? This has been a real "stalling point" for me. Here in the desert we're already getting pretty hot so turning on the oven isn't an option. They'll have to be fried.
I have used egg wash and almond meal as a breading on liver, so I would think it would work for fish too. I would think cod would be a nice fish for fishsticks.

Gas leak forces employees from business
BRISTOL, Va. - A gas leak forced workers off the job in Bristol, Virginia this morning.
Firefighters were called to Federal Pacific on Cornet Drive in the industrial park just before 10:30 a.m.
Investigators say workers broke a small gas line inside the building.
Several employees were evacuated for a short time while crews made sure it was safe.
The gas line was quickly repaired and no one was hurt.

If you're reading this article there's a good chance you're already familiar with Reddit's St. Louis Blues community. If you're unfamiliar with the subreddit which focuses solely on the Blues, it's a tremendous way to enhance your hockey experience during the course of a season and during the boring summer months.
If you're unfamiliar with Reddit, think of it like a message board with a twist. The main difference is that this one is a lot more entertaining. A section within Reddit, called a subreddit, focuses on a specific topic such as movies, music or just about anything you can think of. This particular subreddit highlights the Blues and it's an excellent resource for news, debates and discussion.
I'm not a moderator, administrator or any sort of person with power over on the Blues subreddit. I don't gain anything by having you sign up there. I'm a member of the community and I've found that by checking in there regularly has made the entire fan experience a lot more fun. Think of it like the first time you discovered there were a ton of Blues fans on Twitter and the door it opened to new discussions and conversations with other fans. It's a similar idea over on the Blues subreddit.
Why should you consider checking it out?
It's fun. For every game there's a thread where people come together to discuss what's happening. It's a more organized, better formatted version of what people already do on Twitter. Typically there's also a highly entertaining game recap posted by a very drunk (usually) member of the community (Good ol' Foot).
Even if there isn't a game when you stop in, you're sure to find the latest Blues news compiled from a variety of sources (including posts from here). You'll also see what other Blues fans are up to and how they're celebrating their love for the team. There's really no telling what will pop up, but you can be sure that it will always have a St. Louis Blues slant.
The community is outstanding. Are there a few users you might not particularly enjoy hearing from? Sure, but that's present within every community. The Blues subreddit has just over 1,900 members and the overwhelming majority are extremely nice, extremely fun people.
Check it out. There's a chance it might not be for you, but there's also a chance you'll enjoy hockey season even more by stopping in from time to time.

They have spent the past two summers pent up in the Big Brother house but now engaged couple Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas are travelling the world on The Amazing Race.
"We thought we would do well on The Amazing Race because its more our style of competition. We don't have to worry about getting along with everybody the whole time, we can just compete," Villegas told PEOPLE on Valentines Day, the couples' one-year anniversary of their engagement.
Just days after taking home the $500,000 Big Brother prize last September, Reilly and her fiancé were asked to join ten other teams for the upcoming season premiering Sunday.
"I don't think I knew what I was getting myself in to," Reilly said. "I thought, 'We could totally do this,' but the Race is so different from Big Brother."
When first meeting their competitors, Villegas, 31, and Reilly, 26, both looked at twins Elliot and Andrew Webber as their biggest competition.
"We were both kind of intimidated by them it is a two-guy team," Reilly said. "If it was Brendon and Jeff [Schroeder from Big Brother] running the race I think people would have been intimidated because they would be a two-guy team."
While they are no strangers to high-stress situations, the Big Brother couple found sleep deprivation to be their biggest hurdle on the race.
"Between all the travelling and the odd times you don't get a lot of sleep," Villegas said. "That's why people make stupid decisions."
Reilly promises a season with "plenty excitement and drama," but maintains that their penchant for emotional outbursts did not distract the couple from reaching the pit stop mat.
"We can get in plenty of fights, but at the end of the day Brendon and I are in it to win it," she said. "We are going to keep going even if one of us gets down."
As for how the other teams sized them up?
"We were seen as a threat … but then again, I don't know because I was wearing sequins so I think they might have just laughed [us] off," Reilly explained. "I wore a lot of sequins on the show."
Fans will have to wait to find out if Reilly and Villegas won the million-dollar prize but for the time being the couple is enjoying Reilly's Big Brother money and are house hunting in Los Angeles while Villegas continues graduate school at UCLA.
"I want to get married soon so we're planning our wedding now and we're getting to enjoy ourselves more and relax a little bit," Reilly said.
Reilly has yet to pick a dress for their big day – which they are hoping will take place this summer – but she is certain about one aspect of her gown: "lots of sequins."
The Amazing Race premieres Sunday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Buies Creek, N.C.-Campbell University Professor Breck Smith's works are currently on exhibit in the Louise Jones Brown Gallery in the Bryan Center at Duke University. Smith's paintings are said to be the visual equivalent of the Japanese poetic form "haiku." The paintings will be on display until Oct. 23.
Haiku combines form, content and language in a meaningful, yet compact way. Often composed of three lines with the first and third lines containing five syllables and the second line containing seven syllables, haiku must conform to a definite structure. Poetic themes generally relate to nature, feelings or experiences.
Smith first discovered the similarity between his paintings and haiku while he was in residence at the Vermont Studio Center in Eden, Vt.
"All of the paintings I was doing then were an attempt to paint moving water," Smith said. "The suggestion that my technique translated visually as haiku was made during a critique performed by visiting painters to the Vermont Center."
Smith says his approach to painting is similar to a writing technique attributed to 17th century Japanese haiku poet, Basho. Before he would begin writing, Basho would seat himself in front of his paper and wait for the "space" between poet and paper to disappear. When it seemed that the poem had begun to occupy its own space, it was finished.
Smith graduated from Averett College in Danville, Va., with a Bachelor of Arts in 1980. He received a Master of Fine Arts in 1982 from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. His paintings were selected for inclusion in the 2003 Bowery Gallery National Competition in New York and the 10th National Juried Show at the Art Center of Northern New Jersey, as well as the North Carolina Artists Exhibition at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Smith is the recipient of a Visual Art Fellowship from the North Carolina Arts Council and was featured in a two-person show at the Chapel Hill Public Library. Works by Smith were also featured in the 2006 "Southern Landscape" exhibition at the Lee Hansley Gallery in Raleigh, N.C.
The exhibition at Duke contains 18 paintings in oils, acrylics and pencil.

KALAMAZOO — Katy Perry may be popular now but I wonder if an orchestra will be playing her music 50 years from now like the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra played Beatles music Friday night.
The orchestra teamed up with the Classical Mystery Tour, a Beatles tribute band that plays with orchestras, at Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium for a rousing and emotional evening. The show launched the KSO's new Pops Series.
My guest, who is 66 years old, teared up during several songs as the tunes tugged him back to a time of youth rebellion, Civil Rights, women's liberation and the Beatles in control of the pop charts.
"Do we hear any screaming out there?" said Tony Kishman, who played the role of Paul McCartney, as the band jumped into a version of "I Saw Her Standing There."
It is not until you hear a band like the Classical Mystery Tour run down the canon of Beatles songs that you realize how many numbers the Beatles drove into the public consciousness. And still, at the end of the two-hour show, people commented about their favorite songs that were not played.
The show ended with a version of "Twist and Shout" that was righteous. Orchestra members twisted with cellos, spun basses and shook French horns as patrons rose to their feet and clapped to the beat of the music.
Since the Beatles' later recordings often used orchestras, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra added heft to the tribute band as both played "Penny Lane," "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band," "I Am the Walrus," "Yellow Submarine" and "Long Winding Road" during the second half of the show.
One of the most powerful numbers turned out to be "Eleanor Rigby," in which the tribute band offered vocals only allowing the KSO to fully expand its sound.

GILBERT, Arizona - An Arizona woman ran down her husband with the family SUV Saturday night after an argument over the presidential election, CBS 5 KPHO reported.

GILBERT, AZ - A Mesa woman was arrested Saturday after she allegedly chased her husband around a Gilbert parking lot in an SUV during an argument over the presidential election.
The woman finally ran over her husband, leaving him with critical injuries.
According to a Gilbert police report, the argument started over her husband's lack of voter participation in the recent election.
Holly Solomon, 28, apparently believed her family was going to face hardship as a result of President Barack Obama's re-election.
Solomon's husband, Daniel Solomon, told police his wife "just hated Obama" and was very angry he was re-elected and blamed the President for problems her family is going through.
Witnesses reported a lot of yelling just before Holly got into a Jeep SUV and began chasing her husband through the parking lot near Gilbert and Elliot roads.
"He got out of the car and she was screaming at him. And he started walking away and she started driving in circles around him and she wouldn't let him go so finally he took off to try to get away and she ran into him," a called told a 911 dispatcher.
Daniel reportedly took refuge behind a light pole while Holly drove around the pole several times while continuing to yell at him.
Police said Daniel tried to run away toward Gilbert Road as Holly pursued him in the vehicle.
She eventually struck her husband and he was pinned underneath, between the vehicle and a curb.
Daniel was taken to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center and remains there in critical condition, according to police.
Holly was taken into custody and booked into jail for domestic violence charges of aggravated assault.
Police said there were no indications that Holly was impaired by alcohol or drugs during the incident.
According to a police report, Daniel told police his wife is six months pregnant.

BayHawks could announce head coach soon
The Erie BayHawks are closing in on hiring a new head coach, team president Matt Bresee said Monday.
As they enter the first year of an NBA D-League hybrid agreement with the Orlando Magic, the BayHawks could have an announcement on a coach virtually any day, Bresee said.
"Right now, as I understand it, (the Magic) have a finalist and they're in the process of going though the necessary background checks and other final steps that the NBA requires," Bresee said.
Whoever gets the job will take over for Gene Cross, the team's coach since 2012. Cross was not retained when the New York Knicks transferred their D-League operations from Erie to Westchester County, N.Y.
The BayHawks are coming off a 16-34 season. They have missed the playoffs the past two seasons after reaching the postseason three times in their first five years of existence.
The franchise announced in May that it was entering into a single-franchise affiliation with the Magic.

Girl Scout Cookies are among the most well-known brands in the world, but few know about the important skills girls learn from the program: goal setting, money management, decision making, people skills, and business ethics
These are skills that girls use throughout their lives to help them excel, exceed and lead. No university has produced as many female business owners as the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
"Cookies open doors for western Pennsylvania girls in so many ways," said Patricia Burkart, CEO of Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania. "Not only does the program teach important financial skills, it also funds many life-changing experiences for girls through camps, travel, and programs."
The Girl Scout Cookie program helped make summer camp possible for Alexis Burkett and her troop. A Girl Scout from Fombell, Alexis sold more than 1,500 boxes of cookies. "Cookies helped us go to Camp Elliott this past summer," Alexis said. "We went swimming, hiking, and learned archery."
This year, Alexis has set her goal high, aiming for 2,000 boxes in the 2014 Cookie Program. Alexis and her troop plan to use the proceeds to tackle adventure courses at summer camp. "It sounds so much fun," she added.
To prepare for cookies season, many Girl Scouts attend special cookie rallies organized by volunteers.
|Girl Scouts Natalie Holland, left, and
Savanna Carlson.
Warren Girl Scouts will gather at a cookie rally at St. Paul's Lutheran Church on December 29.
"We've made this event educational, so girls can be more confident going into cookie season," said Jodi Holland, Warren Girl Scout volunteer. "They learn the skills they need while they are having fun with their friends."
Nearly 80 girls are expected to attend the rally, which features several stations for girls to explore different skills needed for a successful sale.
Girl Scouts begin taking orders for cookies on January 3, 2014.

Natasha is a very dear friend of mine since University years. We have gone through studentship together and love to be nostalgic about that time. I've been wanting to make a post about her since I started blogging and I wish the weather was better, but Moscow doesn't like to make people happy.
What I love about this look is that even when there's Winter outside it pops colour. The colour palette is just perfect, innocent mint + red lips is a good combo that proves again - opposites attract. What can I say new about Marni necklaces that you don't know? Nothing, they're all to die for.

Antony says nobody will be spared if found guilty in chopper deal Last Updated : 13 Feb 2013 12:58:05 PM IST Antony says Nobody will be spared if found guilty in chopper deal
Government on Wednesday asserted that nobody found guilty will be spared and if wrongdoings were found by the CBI, the contract can be scrapped.
"Nobody will be spared whatever may be the consequences,"Defence Minister A K Antony told reporters on the alleged Italian chopper scam.Further adding that "Even the contract can be scrapped."
"After the CBI report, we will take serious action that may include cancelling the deal," he said. "We don't want to jump the gun. We can get our money back even at this stage," Antony said on the Rs 3600 crore deal.
The government had requested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for an early inquiry into the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal and would take "strongest action" after it was completed, Defence Minister A.K. Antony said on Wednesday.
"We have requested CBI for an early inquiry. I can assure you that the moment we get a report from CBI we will take a strongest action provided in the integrity pact... that includes cancellation of the contract and blacklisting the companies. But before CBI's report I don't want to jump into any conclusion," Mr. Antony said.
"At the moment I'm not in a position to say anything," he added.
The Indian defence ministry had on Tuesday ordered a CBI probe into the $750 million deal for 12 VVIP AgustaWestland helicopters following the arrest of its Italian manufacturer Finmeccanica's chief on charges of graft in the contract.
This is not the first time that the allegations have surfaced. Three of the helicopters have already been delivered to the Indian Air Force (IAF), the first of them in December 2010.
The contract for the helicopters had been signed in February 2010.
The IAF has sought the AgustaWestland choppers as a replacement for its Mi-17 cargo helicopters that have been modified for VVIP deployment. The Comptroller and Auditor General had made an adverse comment, saying it was a waste of resources.
The Ministry of Defence also decided to put on hold the receipt of the remaining nine of the 12 helicopters for which the Rs 3600 crore deal was struck in 2010.
Giuseppe Orsi, the head of Italian defence and aerospace giant Finmeccanica, was arrested on Monday in relation to a probe into international corruption.
He is suspected of involvement in the payment of bribes regarding the sale to the Indian government of 12 helicopters produced by Finmeccanica's subsidiary AgustaWestland.
Mr. Antony said CBI has been asked to give an early report on its probe into alleged kickbacks in the AgustaWestland helicopter deal.
"Once we get the preliminary inquiry report from CBI, strongest action will be taken against those found guilty," he said.
Asked about reports of the alleged role of former IAF chief SP Tyagi in the deal, the Minister said, "I have no information. After the CBI report, we will take serious action that may include cancelling the deal," he said.
"We don't want to jump the gun. We can get our money back even at this stage," Mr. Antony said on the Rs 3600 crore deal.
Asked whether the money paid to the Italian firm so far can be claimed back by the Indian government, he said, "If the Indian government paid any amount of the money, as per the provisions of the integrity pact, we can get back the entire money we paid to the vendor."
He mentioned that the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP) governing all defence deals takes care of the integrity pact by the foreign vendors.
"Not a single pie from the Indian government we will lose. As per the DPP, any contract beyond Rs 300 crores, before finalising the contract the vendor will have to sign an integrity pact with the Government of India, agreeing to our conditions. If they violate that condition, they are liable to criminal action," he said.
The Defence Minister said companies are liable to be prosecuted and blacklisted for their lapses.
He referred to the actions taken by the government in such cases, where six foreign defence firms were blacklisted.
"I told you earlier that a CBI inquiry... after their first report, they recommended certain actions against companies. The moment we received the complaint, we did not hesitate, we blacklisted six companies. Out of that four are most powerful international companies," he said.
Mr. Antony stressed that tough action will be taken against the guilty, despite their stature.
"We are not bothered about who the companies are, how strong they are and how influential they are. But everything depends on the CBI inquiry. The moment we get a report from the CBI, whoever is found guilty, Indian or foreigners, we will take strongest action against them. They will have to pay the price for their lapses," he said.
Mr. Antony said the Indian government has been trying to get details from Italy since the beginning of the controversy around a year ago.
After we saw reports, the Indian media reports of arrests and investigation going on in Italy, immediately we wrote to the Indian Ambassador in Italy to get the details from the Italian government and also the prosecutor who is conducting the inquiry," he said.
The second step, he said, was to involve the External Affairs Ministry to seek a report from governments of Italy and Britain.
"The second step (was) through the Ministry of External Affairs. Our government contacted the Government of Italy and Government of United Kingdom because AugustaWestland is a British company and major shareholder is British. MEA wrote to both the countries again," he said.
From the day one we have been trying to find the truth, Mr.Antony said, adding that the countries were specifically asked about alleged involvement of some Indian in the scam.
"Second report came on involvement of some Indian we again asked both the government is it true about this allegations. Is it true that Indians are involved," he said.
Asked whether the scam will impact other deals under consideration with AugustaWestland and Finmeccanica, Antony said such an action will depend on the result of CBI inquiry.
"Let CBI inquire this. Everything depends on CBI inquiry on this... We have already given this issue to the CBI. Let us see the progress of CBI inquiry. At any stage of the inquiry, if anybody is guilty, anywhere in the deals, they will have to pay the price," he said.
He said no time line has been fixed for the CBI to give its report.

The Fox Sports broadcaster reveals the sly skill that helps her get the scoop on the sidelines in the September issue of Health magazine, on newsstands Friday.
"I feel like a spy half the time," she says. "In the NFL, we can't report on injuries until the NFL has said what the injury is, but I hear so much stuff, like, in the huddles, a player saying, 'I just ripped my knee – I'm done.' I've gotten really good at lipreading, and my boyfriend hates that!"
Andrews, 36, flexed a different set of skills in her first season as co-host of Dancing with the Stars – though that gig put her under even more public scrutiny, with viewers criticizing her looks.
James White / Health
"I recently Tweeted a photo of a David Yurman ring I was wearing, and I didn't have any moisturizer on, and they were like, 'Your hands look like the old lady from Titanic," she continues. "But you know what? This is coming from a person whose avatar is a cat. So what do you want from me?"
Though the stunning sportscaster is confident in her naturally good looks (she feels most sexy "in a sweatshirt and a pair of boy shorts"), she admits she wouldn't be opposed to some cosmetic tweaks down the line.
"I've never done it, but I'm curious about all of it. I've seen great work, and I think we've all seen bad," she says of plastic surgery. "I'm sure there will be a time in my life when I'll want to look into it, but it's just not right now."

Barkley, a former Sixer turned NBA analyst and SportsWeek columnist, is already calling November's election in favor of President Obama.
Barkley was part of TNT's broadcast team for Sunday's Celtics-Hawks game when the camera showed Romney, the Republican nominee, in the Boston Garden crowd.
"Mitt Romney. Listen main man, we're going to beat you like a drum in November," Barkley said over-the-air. "Don't take it personally. You seem like a nice guy. But you're going down, bro."

- old cowboy saying
Recently, the city o' SClarita announced the spring line-up for its 15th annual Cowboy Fest, which, this year, has been renamed: C-Fes.
In 1994, after the Northridge Earthquake, the city launched its first festival dedicated to cowboy music, film, poetry and heritage. Over the years, it became one of the biggest celebrations of Things Western in the known world.
But many things have changed, including the face of the valley. In the latest in a series of exclusive Mighty Signal faux interviews, we sat down with interim C-Fes coordinator Terri Miesew.
In a session frank and often damning to the city's power brokers, the senior from Jill Klajic High in Honby offered a shocking tour into the seamier side of cowboy festival planning.
THE MIGHTY SIGNAL: We couldn't help but notice, Terri. You're 17. How did someone your age end up spearheading an international event with a $233 million budget?
TERRI MIESEW: Well, remember that the Cowboy Fest swan-dived to the tune of $116 million into the red last year ...
TMS: The over-ordering of 250,000 commemorative cowboy mouse pads by Jason Smisko?
TM: It was the office supply version of Dresden. They were 4-by-8-feet. No human has that kind of arm reach, let alone a workstation area that size. Then we lost the lawsuit involving the incorrect chemical mixture in the porta-potties, and the subsequent tragic accident with that busload of Anabaptists from Manitoba. Poor people couldn't wear pants for more than a year.
The city settled with the ACLU because there were no gay Muslim cowboys represented, and PETA went home with a seven-figure check after that incident in which the guide dog accidentally wandered into the chuckwagon area and became a taco.
As to how I got the job, I was co-chair of the Klajic High prom last year. Besides being completely awesome, we came in $175 under budget. Plus, my mom sort of sleeps with someone in planning.
TMS: That answers a lot of questions. We've noticed a disturbing miniaturizing trend from City Hall.
Originally, the event was called The Santa Clarita Cowboy Music and Poetry Festival. Over the years, staffers pruned the title until it became just Cowboy Fest. And now, it's the cryptic "C-Fes." Why?
TM: Me and my friends, like, counted? The original title was 50 characters long. By cutting it to C-Fes, it's five, an improvement of at least 48 percent. Not only do we save ink, which makes ozone holes, our posters are now the size of business cards, which can fit into a flip cell phone.
Also, our crack marketing department revealed that today, the only people who actually know what a cowboy is are in the rare 94- to 115-year-old demographic, and they usually stay at the festival no more than 12 minutes, and statistics show 37 percent of them collapse from the heat anyway.
TMS: Wait a second. C-Fes. Isn't that the name of that repossession company in Canyon Country that's a front for the Palmdale Mob?
TM: Duh. They're our main sponsor. And it's "alleged mob."
TMS: So the grand jewel of the SCV is now named after a repo company.
TM: Poetic, isn't it? In this economy, cash is king. Plus, with the types of people we attract, it's a safe bet that half are under notice to have their cars repossessed. Think of the time and labor C-Fes will save heisting everyone's wheels in the same parking lot!
TMS: Like the American Dream itself, will the April week-long event be down-sized?
TM: First, let me say that at the city of SClarita, in the spirit of The New Socialism, we put the "pal" in "municipal." We're bringing a whole new look to the Old West. That's why we thought it's cozier to host the 2009 fest at the Lumberjack Room at the IHOP on Pico.
TMS: What's so Western about the Lumberjack Room?
TM: My uncle was a lumberjack and he's OK.
TMS: Let me guess. Did he work all night?
TM: And he slept all day.
TMS: Let's look at your program line-up for April. Isn't the city trying to save money with such alleged talent as Tourette's Timmy, The Swearing Cowboy Poet?
TM: Haven't you ever watched "Deadwood?"
TMS: What about Stuttering Bob, The Singing Sidekick?
TM: With money tight, we're paying by the song.
TMS: But what about at these events: "Horse Stare Contest?" The "How To Scalp A White Person" booth? And what's this: "The SCV Hist-whore-ical Society House"?
TM: It is an accurate depiction of life in the real West, involving - um - re-enactor ladies with low self-esteem, the general public and a $50 a quarter-hour donation, an on-call trauma nurse and a trained Affection Management Engineer.
TMS: You mean a pimp.
TM: That label is so demeaning and hurtful.
TMS: Doesn't this strike you as wrong? What about the wealth of real Western talent?
TM: (snickers) Oh yeah. Right. Like we're going to get Vince Gill or Kevin Costner to mosey out to Condo Purgatory for a poster, tote bag and a 4-by-8 foot mouse pad depicting giant stick figures of the Irish getting lynched. Did I mention we have a new stunt show?
TMS: Tell us about that.
TM: Hot off the success of reality TV, visitors compete in a variety of competitions, essentially fistfight-oriented, broken into age and gender brackets, including two for handicapped people: Hunchbacks and Non-Hunchbacks.
TMS: You pay tourists to get into barroom brawls ...
TM: Who said "pay"? They fill out insurance/damage waivers and pay the city 20 bucks to fight to the death in the middle of a dirt street.
TMS: What's first prize?
TM: In keeping with our rich tradition of the Old West, you get to live. Plus, first place gets four passes to the SCV's Hist-whor ...
TMS: (interrupting) We get the picture. We hate to bring this up again, but being such a young person who obviously has no connection with SClarita, how can you possibly showcase what the Old West was about?
TM: That's easy. For more information on this year's cowboy festival in April, with its amazing talent, shops, exhibits, cuisine and fun family activity, just call 259-CITY or visit www.cowboyfestival.org.
John Boston has earned 117 major national, regional and state awards, some for writing about things Western. His work, if you can call it that, appears Fridays and Sundays in Your Mighty Signal.

Director of Next Generation Ministries
Luke 10:25-29: "And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, 'Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?' He said to him, 'What is written in the Law? How do you read it?' And he answered, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.' And he said to him, 'You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.' But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?'"
Jesus confirmed that the lawyer's conclusion for inheriting eternal life was correct. Now, I've thought many times, why didn't the lawyer leave it alone? Why ask the next question? Pride and self-righteousness can make it hard for us to keep our mouths shut at times.
Thanks to the lawyer's next question, Luke chapter 10 records two stories of a few busy people, to teach us some important lessons about the Great Commandment.
First was the Parable of the Good Samaritan. This is the story of the two religious leaders, who were too busy to stop and help the neglected man lying on the side of the road.
Second was the story of Mary and Martha. This story tells how Martha was too busy working in the kitchen for Jesus, to merely stop and be with Jesus.
Jesus instructs us to never be too busy to stop and love God or to stop and love people.
Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in Washington DC, tells the story of a Good Samaritan Study performed by Princeton University. Here is a brief account of that story: Two psychologists did an experiment with the story of the Good Samaritan. They asked seminary students why they went into ministry. The vast majority said, "To help people."
Then they asked half the class to prepare a sermon on the Good Samaritan and the other half to prepare a sermon on other topics. Later they were told to go over to another building to present their sermons. But, along the way they strategically placed an actor to play the part of a man who had just been mugged. The teachers assumed that the ones who just prepared the Good Samaritan sermon would be the ones that would stop to help. But that was not the case, due to one more variable they added to the study.
The final variable was this: With some of the students the instructor looked at his watch and said, "You are late, they were expecting you a few minutes ago, you better hurry up". And to others they said, "You are early, they are not expecting you for a few minutes, but why not start heading over now?"
The results were startling, only 10% of those who were in a hurry stopped to help, while 63% of those who were not in a hurry stopped to help. The conclusion of the study was this: It did not matter what sermon they prepared or what reason they went into ministry. All that mattered was whether they were in a hurry or not.
The Lord's Great Commandment is simply to love God with all your being, and to love other people as you love yourself. The first half of the commandment has to do with us being who God wants us to be. The second half is about doing what God wants us to do.
We should never be too busy to STOP and Be or Do for the Lord.

VANCOUVER -- Vancouver police are asking for the public's help in finding a mentally ill man who has been missing since his family reported his disappearance in November.
James L. Moore, 47, was last heard from in October when he was a transient, and police have exhausted all leads since his family notified them, said Kim Kapp, spokeswoman for the Vancouver Police Department.
He is described as 6-foot, 200 pounds. He has brown eyes and long, brown hair he usually wears in a ponytail. Moore does not have a car and is believed to be somewhere in the Vancouver area.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to called the Police Department's tip line at 360-487-7399.
