Anna Paquin: Bisexuality? 'It's just part of who I am'

Good Anna! I am bisexual as well and was married to a man, engaged to a woman. That is who I am. Bisexual. It is discriminating and narrow minded to try to lock people like me to straight or lesbian box. Love don't care for descriptions.
Good on her speaking out.
I joke with my bisexual friends about them being greedy and thankfully they laugh it off with me as we can do that, but like many others I do get annoyed when people think that bisexuality does not exist, it does! Like being gay or lesbian, being bisexual is not a choice as someone is attracted to both sexes and you cannot help who you fall in love with at any given time! I wish people would wake up to that.
I'm bisexual and was with a woman for 20 years, now I'm with a great guy for the past 13 years. We fall in love with people not a sex !!!
Good for her – so much more elegantly stated that the recent dumb statements by Cynthia Nixon.
Good on Anna for speaking out clearly.
I am definitely gay. I know that many of us at the gay end of the sexual orientation continuum have at times been quite intolerant to those who identify as bi-sexual. I think we have not really understood or been suspicious of people that identify as bi-sexual. Perhaps it is a bit ironical as that is how straight people have looked at us.
bi-sexuals are never really satisfied with one partner. thats what makes them unpoplular with both straight and gay people.
Yes kay, just like how people who are exclusively attracted to women are never satisfied until they've felt all the boobies in the world, and how everyone who's exclusively attracted to men can only achieve true happiness by having every penis in the world inside them at once. Being attracted to any segment of the population makes you a *total* greedy whore, and the only true path to morality is asexuality. Also, people who like both pizza *and* kebabs are gluttonous pigs who must cram both into their mouths at the same time, 24/7, until their stomachs explode! That's what you get for being a filthy junk food slut.
Well said, Marianne!
Ha haa Marianne. :) I have been accused of being bisexual but not by men only by women.That I would go to the other side as soon as I have lost my first interest. (sigh) Well shocker! I haven't and even if I had who's business is it ? Mine. Being bisexual does not mean = heartbreaker or vampire for sex.
"…I'm just living my life…" Good on you girl. Most people are just surviving.
I'm occasionally skeptical when I hear about a female celebrity coming out as bisexual or pansexual. Not that bisexuals don't exist, which of course they do. Just that it's so common for women in the entertainment industry to claim to be one to gain publicity. But ultimately if she came out as bisexual and married a woman people would be saying 'oh she's not really bi, she's really a lesbian'.

Liverpool have been linked with a whole host of names already for the forthcoming summer transfer window, as Brendan Rodgers continues to reshape his squad for a challenge on the upper reaches of the Premier League.
Likely, the names who eventually come to join the Anfield club in the coming months will not yet have been mentioned in the press extensively, but the areas in which Liverpool need to reinforce are evident, so at least a style of player can be drawn up who may be brought in.
It should also, of course, be noted that the Reds need not just 11 but 15 or 16 top class players who can come in and out of the team without the quality of the side being reduced.
Here, though, is a projected starting XI which we might see Liverpool field next season.

Commonwealth Games organisers performed an embarrassing U-turn yesterday when they scrapped controversial plans to demolish five tower blocks as part of this summer's opening ceremony, amid growing public opposition and warnings from the police.
David Grevemberg, chief executive of Glasgow 2014, who had previously insisted the plans would go ahead, yesterday cited safety as the key reason for scrapping the demolition of the Red Road flats.
The decision was announced after Police Scotland asked the Glasgow 2014 board to reconsider in the face of calls for protests at the event, and claims that nearby residents could refuse to move during
From the announcement on April 3, this proposal was questioned on the basis of its appropriateness.
Firstly, how could you encapsulate the regeneration message which this demolition was supposed to represent in a 15-second segment of a televised opening ceremony? Secondly, although five blocks were scheduled for demolition, one would remain standing, and that block housed asylum seekers. This sent out a very wrong message. Five blocks were being demolished because they weren't fit for Glaswegians to live in, yet international guests of the city were being abandoned to what would be officially demonised accommodation.
Finally, tower blocks are not in themselves bad: across the globe they provide satisfactory dwelling spaces, sometimes even luxury. So just how would you communicate the particular problems that resulted in the decision to knock down the Red Road multis?
A further issue emerged as the campaign against the proposed celebratory destruction progressed. Genuine safety fears were raised by many and although there were limited doubts on the part of experts, it was always going to be impossible to guarantee that no damage or even injury would occur. Stories were recalled from previous Glasgow tower demolitions, particularly the sad incident in the Gorbals where one onlooker died, but there was also the occasion where an Alsatian dog ran into the exclusion zone and delayed events by several hours. So there was no guarantee of either absolute safety or that this high-risk strategy would go off without a hitch.
On reflection, given that the idea has now been abandoned there will be many who question how such an ill-thought through notion even got so far as an announcement. Indeed, how did individuals of undoubted intelligence, including Glasgow's city leader, allow themselves to be paraded before the media and subjected to public mockery? The lack of checks and balances and the quality of advice to both the council leadership and the Commonwealth Games committee should perhaps now be examined.
The campaign against the demolition of the Red Road blocks has been highly effective. The public, the media, and a number of vociferous individuals should be commended for bringing common sense into the fray.
The demolition was a marketing idea which might have come out of the brilliant television comedy 2012. Only there could it really have been given any level of credence. Its abandonment is the right decision and in good time for the ceremony to be reconsidered, for the script to be rewritten, and for a big order of fireworks to be placed. That will get us back to a much better focus – on celebrating Glasgow, Scotland, international friendship and sport.

The agency would oversee credit cards, mortgages and other financial products that target consumers. The banking industry and many lawmakers raised concerns that consumers might actually have a more difficult time obtaining credit after the creation of such an agency. Others said it is a vital step to prevent another housing bubble and other issues.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Which Phaneuf Will Show Up In Calgary?
by Paul on 12/15/10 at 04:20 PM ET
Comments (0)
from George Johnson of the Calgary Herald,
He's back. In all his glorious, maddening imperfection. Who knows what on earth he'll be up to Thursday night?
Dion Phaneuf could clock a mid-ice loiterer or two and launch them into the Calgary Flames' owners' box or end the night minus-4. He might score the overtime winner with an absolute screamer from the point or be on the ice for every goal, both sides, in a 6-5 win. Or a 6-5 loss.
And therein lies the fun.
Utter unpredictability has always been his quirky entertainment value.

Does this sound like you? You've had a love-hate relationship with food for a long time. In fact, for as long as you can remember, you've always loved food more than food has loved you. Once you made the decision to give up gluten you dedicated yourself to reading labels, and swapped out all of your foods to ones that are certified gluten-free. Things may have started to look up, but now your GI pains are back and you are not sure why. It is possible you could have additional food intolerances.
Food Intolerance, or "non-allergic food hypersensitivity" (NAFH) as it is sometimes called, is an additional challenge that many Celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals face. Unlike a food allergy that triggers a response from the immune system, the symptoms of food intolerances are the digestive system's response to a particular food – through possible damage, an enzyme deficiency, or a food effect. The real challenge an individual faces is trying to distinguish between the two types of gluten sensitivity. Currently there are around 250-different symptoms associated with celiac disease and gluten-intolerance, which can present from joint aches, to migraines, to diarrhea or constipation.
While individuals with both gluten-intolerance and celiac disease tend to share similar symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, intermittent diarrhea and others, "why" the body is in pain is rather different. In celiac disease it is the immune system causing the raucous. Those same helpful antibody agents that keep our body free of everything from the common cold to mumps and measles turn against our intestines in the presence of gluten. The small intestine is slowly damaged over time until we can no longer digest and absorb some foods easily. Symptoms from gluten sensitivity come from the intestine's ability to digest and absorb some foods. Think of that classic children's toy of the wooden shape-sorter, where our infants and toddlers strive to find the right sized hole for the triangle, square and circle shaped blocks in their hands. Just as their eager pounding and slamming of mismatched shapes provides little more than frustration, so too do our intestines search for the right shaped nutrients to absorb. If our body has triangle shaped holes dedicated to absorb digested-gluten, but lacks the enzyme to turn our large square gluten molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed triangles, there is bound to be some side negative side effects.
While true celiac disease is estimated to affect as much as 1% of our population, as of yet we do not have clear understanding of how many Americans are affected by NAFH. The National Institute of Health has estimated that it could be anywhere between 12-19% of all individuals; but it could likely be higher in individuals with a gluten allergy. Foods that people are frequently intolerant of are substances that naturally occur in foods, arise in food processing methods, or are added during processing.
Intolerance of Lactose, the sugar found in milk, is a common type of food intolerance. It occurs when your body stops producing enough of the enzyme Lactase to digest all of the Lactose in your daily diet. While this deficiency is more common as we age, it can also happen when there is significant damage to our intestines, like after bowel surgery or as a result of chronic inflammation related to gluten-intolerance or allergy. These types of injuries can also make it difficult to digest some foods with large sugar molecules, histamines, nitrates, MSG, or even other foods like eggs, corn, or soy. Sometimes adding digestive enzyme supplements like lactase, beano or diamine oxidase can reduce symptoms like cramping, bloating, intermittent diarrhea or constipation, skin rashes, joint pains or headaches. However sometimes it is necessary, as with gluten, to remove those foods from your diet.
It is important not to try to indentify these possible triggers alone. While some foods may cause symptoms relatively quickly after consumption, others may take up to three or four days before causing a reaction – which can make identifying the trigger food confusing. A Registered Dietitian can help you find foods that you may be sensitive to, and show you the best way to avoid them without risking your overall nutritional health. You can work with your insurance provider to find a Registered Dietitian near you, or find one yourself with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics free online tool: http://www.eatright.org/programs/rdfinder/ .
If you have given up gluten, and you do not seem to be feeling much better, you may have undiagnosed food intolerances. Food hyper-sensitivity is often "masked" or covered up by food allergies. If you have removed gluten completely from your diet and still find yourself suffering, it may be time to work with a Registered Dietitian to figure out which other foods you may be sensitive to. No one should remove or restrict large portions of their diet without the supervision of a qualified professional, but everyone should be able to enjoy a large variety of healthy and delicious foods without the pain or discomfort associated with food sensitivities.

All parent member reviews for The Sword in the Stone
Parents say
(out of 2 reviews)
age 10+
Review this title!
Thick reading, Worth it for a good listener
My son just turned 8 and enjoyed this book, even though I had to explain a lot of things in it to him. Also, it is a more challenging read out loud than to one's self, and most adults would probably have some trouble with it. However, it was worth our time and it has captured this mom's heart. You may want to check into the books by Margaret Hodges such as Merlin and the Making of a King, which is an adaptation of the Arthurian Legend but may be more accessible for the younger children.

I Loved This Book As A Teen!
I read this work by T.H. White in English class in 10th grade, 30 years ago (edition did not have the illustrations referred to above). It triggered in me a love of any work of literature relating to the Arthurian legend that continues this day. I am not sure what the youngest age appropriate for this book would be, since I read it when I was 15. However, my 12-year-old is a very advanced reader and loves fantasy, myths and legends, so I am going to buy a copy and review it to see if I think she is ready. The element that gives me pause is Arthur's (and other characters') incestuous conceptions. My willingness to give her a copy depends on how sensitively these episodes are treated.

B&G Club's 'Brain Gain' talks heroes as Junior Rangers explore the peninsula
Brain Gain
True heroes of history know how to dream big and put their dreams into action. In this week's "Brain Gain," module members learned from people who enriched the lives of others in important ways and discovered what makes someone a true hero. They became part of a "Dream Team," with heroes from history, literature, inventors and athletes and learned from them how to meet a personal goal or solve a community challenge.
Whether they lead like a president, pitch like a pro or paint like Picasso, members created roles to play as they imagined history. The club members all worked together in groups conducting their own research. They learned how to choose resources and what makes a good resource.
By the end of the week, participants were instructed to take a few minutes to think about as many of their own good deeds as they could from the past two days like helping someone out, stopping an argument or cleaning up. They then wrote a few good deeds in their journals and discussed the many ways youngsters can do good deeds at home, in school and in the community and how some of those acts could be heroic.
One of the books featured last week was "How to Heal a Broken Wing" by Bob Graham. His fable of a young boy and his family tells the story of hope and healing when the boy noticed an injured bird lying on the ground. Participants also watched the classic movie "The Miracle Worker" and were moved by it.
Morning Camp
"It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it." Morning campers got down and dirty this week, exploring organic farming and even created their own worm farms. The club attendees have been collecting recyclables the past two weeks and finally put those one- and two-liter bottles to use. They cut the tops off them and layered in the essentials for good soil. Before the project was complete they had a pile of nightcrawlers on top.
The young artists colored a nightscape on construction paper and wrapped their worm farms. No need to look farther than their own backyard for local examples of organic farming.
The group of 45 took a field trip Monday to the Dungeness Creamery where they were able to see the operation and pet some of the Jersey cows. The lucky campers were given fresh milk for the following days butter-making project. Each member was able to fill a small jar with cream and given the task of wiggling around the room to churn their butter.
The campers love to hop around so we had butter in no time. Before the day was over, the members baked cookies together with their fresh organic butter learning more about organic ingredients. The cookies didn't last long but the youngsters were able to take butter home to share with their families.
The short week wrapped up with a trip to Nash's Organic Produce where they were given a tour and saw the thriving garden of summer produce and herbs. They were very excited to pick out their own basil plants to share with their families at home.
Junior Rangers
Thanks to an award from the National Parks Foundation to Olympic National Park, the club is able to get youths out on the trails this summer exploring the "Big Back Yard." Rangers from Olympic National Park facilitate a series of recreational experience for a group of club members.
The rangers visited the clubs and gave a classroom presentation overviewing the Junior Ranger program and exciting young members to participate. The summer program will have Sequim and Port Angeles youth taking hikes of varying difficulty through three of the main ecosystems of park.
The members also will canoe on Lake Crescent, raft the Elwha River and swim at Sol Duc Hot Springs before summer concludes.
Last week, 16 members went up to Hurricane Ridge on an all-day field trip where they summitted Hurricane Ridge Hill before coming back down.
Summer Lunch Program
The club had a very successful launch to its summer lunch program and has just completed two weeks serving USDA approved meals to all children under the age of 18. In Sequim, lunch was at noon not only at the Boys & Girls Club but also at Elk Creek Apartments and at Carrie Blake Park.
Last year the program not only won the USDA's Western Region Sunshine Award for community involvement but also national recognition for the innovative model of using faith communities and civic organizations to help keep costs low.
This year, based on feedback from last year's volunteers, games and other activities are available as another opportunity for the volunteers to interact with the children.
Another addition this year is that from time to time, there will be "entertainment" at the sites. Storytellers, musicians, representatives from the libraries – again, all volunteers — will come to the sites and engage the children.
These activities give the children further incentive to participate at the sites; and the club can reach more children with not only food but positive interactions with adult role models.
Call the club (683-8095) if you'd like to volunteer to help with the program.

It's not often that I talk about anything other than wine. I mean, the blog is called Wine Goddess, after all. But, I do drink other things besides wine and my education does extend to beer and spirits. I was excited to see that our local brewery/restaurant was holding a Beerfest on Saturday, September 29th from 1-5pm at the Parker Press Park in Woodbridge. Tickets are only $20 to sample beer from JJ Bitting Brewery. For the price, you get to keep the glass. There will also be food and entertainment. We ate there on Saturday night. Good beer and bar favorites. I'm a big fan of the Raspberry Wheat. Tickets are limited and can be purchased by calling JJ Bitting at 732-634-2929. The park is right next to the train station, so drink, be merry and ride the rails home!

This is a re-post of a blog I wrote a couple of weeks ago.(on 03/16/2010) But since it seems topical again I decided to re-post it.
Why fanboys are awesome.
Apparently the blogging topic toujour (again) is "Fanboys and why they suck". I beg to differ. For one simple reason.
They make me laugh.
If a cat can get along with a penguin why can't we?
The funniest shit I've ever seen on-line regarding video games have been from Fanboys.
The first video-game related boards I posted on were the infamous System Wars boards on GameSpot. Why? Because it was hilarious.
Each Fanboy group had It's own name.
Playstation Fanboys were called Cows
Nintendo Fanboys were called Sheep
Xbox Fanboys were called Lemmings.
PC Fanboys were called Hermits.
People with multiple systems were called Manticores.
The Manticores were the most reviled group because they did not want to play along with the System Wars game. Not choosing sides was seen as a cop out.
Awww. (untill it get revenge by pooping in your shoe)
The Handhelds were considered a separate entity from the consoles or PC.
You could be a DS Sheep or a PSP cow, even if you had a different alliance on the console side.
There would be bets about what scores games would get on GameSpot.
A pole was made of the hype score. And based on the majority of votes the hype score would be set. If the review score was not as high as the hype score, the game would then be considered a flop. No matter how good the game actually was. And could be used to mock the other fan base with.
The final tally for the God of War III poll
I know, I know. To any sane person this sounds really, really stupid. But it was so much fun to know what game was hyped what and knowing the fallout would be funny as hell. As soon as the a review for a hyped game was up you would hurry to the score and know exactly what the boards were like.
To the back of the line internet, I'm next.
The best example of this was back when both the Nintendogs and Advanced Wars Dual Strike reviews came out.
Now it had been known for a long time beforehand that these reviews would hit on the same day. It was pretty much considered The handheld version of D-day. The amount of AAA rated PSP games was higher than on the DS, one for PSP and zero for DS respectively.
Advance Wars for DS was a sequel to a series that had previously gotten only AAA scores. "Advance Wars" and "Black Hole Rising" both having received a 9.1 rating. The basic consensus was that Advance wars on DS would get an AAA rating. Putting the DS and PSP on the same level. However, the PSP Fanboys had mocked Nintendogs for months after it was announced. The relentless hammering of the title was funny in it's own right. The high and mighty attitude of the PSP Fanboys bolstered by their status as top dog of the Handheld universe, based on their sole ownership of the only AAA game on a next gen handheld. The 9.0 rated Lumines.
No comment.
August 20 2005. D-day.
12:18 am GMT
The Nintendogs review goes up,
The boards explode. The PSP cows have their mockery backfire on them, while the DS is now on equal ground with PSP. Things have now changed dramatically. No longer can they be mocked for not having a AAA game on their system.
Sheep for the win.
The Advanced Wars Dual Strike review goes up,
The DS Fanboys go crazy. DS Is now on top in the Handheld wars. In a matter of minutes the Handheld landscape has changed in a way no one would have foreseen. The PSP fanboy arrogance destroyed in one fell swoop.
Can you count this high?
Well, sort of.
The excuses PSP Fanboys came up with to discredit the Nintendogs score was hilarious, in a oh god I hope they are not serious or else I feel sorry for the state of the human race kind of way. Their biggest point of argument went like this:
Oh my god, the score doesn't count because it was reviewed by a girl! Of course a girl is gonna give it a AAA. it's got cute puppies! Oh my god it doesn't count!
Threads popped up and got locked at lightning speeds, with tiles like "Ninendogs score doesn't count!" and " Cows got owned Nintendogs is AAA!"
This went on for well... Looooong.
Cows am cry.
It was freakin' hilarious. And epic in a way that things can only be when viewed through the eyes of a Fanboy. I love the Fanboys. If it wasn't for them, everyone on video message boards would have civilized conversations, things would get boring fast.
If it wasn't for the SystemWars Fanboys for one, the fact that Hello kitty roller rescue got a higher score on GameSpot than the much hyped "Halo killer" Killzone would not be half as funny.
Bias! kill kill kill!
And for that I thank them. To me there is no greater gift in the universe than laughter.

No Blocking Mode Toggle in Quick Settings???
Hi all. I've done some searching around in the forums and it looks like the Note 2 on other carriers has a blocking mode toggle button in the drop-down notification panel. It seems to be missing from my Sprint Note 2. Of course, I can access Blocking Mode through the settings menu, but I would prefer to have a toggle in the quick settings in the drop-down shade, just as I have for Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. Am I missing something or is this feature missing from the Sprint Note 2? If it is missing, know of any widgets on Google Play? Thanks.

Carolinas HealthCare System's Dickson Advanced Analytics (DA²) uses innovative tools and technologies to help medical providers deliver the best possible care. We integrate and analyze clinical data to manage the health of individual patients and of communities, and to develop analytics models that can be used to predict population health trends.
By harnessing data across healthcare settings, DA² drives solutions that help advance performance metrics and business intelligence to improve the wellbeing and experience of all patients.
Learn more about Carolinas HealthCare System's Dickson Advanced Analytics.
The following collaborations and technologies, led by DA² support nationwide and organizational priorities, create value and promote the best patient experience:
In 2013, Carolinas HealthCare System joined other healthcare systems and information technology experts, IBM and Premier healthcare alliance, to launch the Data Alliance Collaborative (DAC), a first-of-its-kind national initiative to improve population health through data analytics and business intelligence.
Members of the DAC share their experiences and expertise in healthcare and analytics to develop solutions that integrate data across healthcare settings and that allow health systems to use the same data model and information, enhancing the value of patient care delivery.
These innovative capabilities create value and promote a better patient experience:
Enterprise Data Warehouse: This intensive effort brought together information for more than 5 million Carolinas HealthCare System patients into one place that includes 10 terabytes of data – equivalent to storing the entire print collection of the Library of Congress. It integrates patient information within minutes from a wide range of sources, including clinical, billing and claims data.
Readmission Risk Analytics: This point-of-care tool can predict, with 80 percent accuracy, a patient's risk of being readmitted within 30 days of discharge. It allows providers to view patients' risk information in real time, as it pulls data from patients' electronic medical records, and it helps identify interventions and create individual discharge care plans to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital.
Payor Claims Analytics: Carolinas HealthCare System is one of the first providers to integrate claims and clinical data and show quality and value of this data to stakeholders. Using this capability, the system can analyze insurance claims to find patients who need additional care or services to prevent future complications, including hospitalizations. It can produce population, employer group and individual analysis.
Ambulatory Care Analytics: This analytics tool provides benchmarking in ambulatory (outpatient) settings and allows providers to examine care and disease trends in 30 million patients, across the system and the nation. It also helps provide clinical, billing and claims data that can be used to compare, analyze and identify clinical best practices near real time.

Family Business
Three brothers and their father have worked together to start a party bus business.
John, Jeff, Ben and their father, Mike Stover, formed 4 Guys Enterprise LLC, and they purchased and renovated an MCI motor coach bus.
John, the second-oldest brother, said he would drive past the bus while it was for sale while driving to Bowling Green.
"It was there for like a year, and I finally said something to my dad," John said. "He was like, 'Yeah, I know those guys; I'll give them a call.' So, let's buy it and turn it into a party bus. It was kind of spur of the moment."
John said they bought the bus for $7,000 and the combined costs of buying and renovating the bus was between $25,000 and $30,000.
"When we bought the bus, it was a 49 passenger (vehicle)," he said. "We gutted the whole thing. We did the whole ceiling. We did everything."
John said they did a lot of research before buying the bus, including looking at costs for liability insurance. He also said there are not many party busses in the area.
"We just kind of looked around the area, and realized there's a couple of buses (in the area), but they don't have a bathroom," he said. "We're like the only one from here to Toledo that has something like this."
John said they also formed a limited-liability corporation and got a vendor's license, but there were no problems with having a bus that allows alcohol consumption.
"As long as there is a wall between the people (on the bus) and the driver, then we're good to go," John said. "So that was a major thing we had to do."
Jeff, the youngest brother, said people can rent the bus for a wide variety of events, inlcuding weddings, trips to casinos, birthday parties and sporting events.
John said the maximum number of people on the bus is 30 people.
He said in addition to the driver, the bus will have an attendant to serve as a bouncer and to keep things running smoothly.
The person who rents the bus will be required to sign a waiver that will cover 4 Guys Enterprise for any damages or injuries that may happen on the bus, John said.
John said working on the bus with his dad and brothers also has served as a bonding experience and has given them an opportunity to see each other more frequently.
Ben, the oldest brother, lives in Sandusky, where he coaches baseball at Sandusky St. Mary's and teaches at Ehove Career Center in Milan. Jeff is a junior at Ohio Northern University, where he is studying pharmaceutical business.
The two brothers will drive to Tiffin to their dad's business, Mike's Truck Repair, where John also works, on the weekends and help work on the bus.
"Every weekend, we probably put in 35-40 hours," John said. "Last Saturday, we were here until 2:30 in the morning."
John, who has lived in Tiffin and worked with his dad since last May, said he sees his brothers more now than he did when he was in school at the University of Dayton.
"I see them every week now but in the past, it wouldn't be strange if we didn't see one another for two months at a time," John said.
He said he chose to work with his father because his dad has a shop and knows the mechanics involved in repairing a bus.
Jeff said money also played a factor in working with each other because none of them had enough funds to do the project by themselves.
"Obviously, we disagree. We're family. But it probably brought us closer together in the end," Jeff said.
John said Mike Wertz, Jon Ranieri, Bucky's Machine Shop Andy Ritzler and Bob Goshe all also helped work on the bus.
John said the biggest difficulty the brothers faced while starting their business was getting a loan approved.
"We struggled getting a loan for a while," Jeff said.
"(Jeff's) still in school, and I have a million loans," John said. "We tried to go in together and get it, but we didn't get it approved because of us two. So, Ben went by himself and got one."
He said they already have a few clients booked for birthdays and weddings, and he said they have a lot of people who are interested in renting the bus for trips to Cleveland for Indians games.
"We got quite a few for just starting out and nobody really knowing us," John said.
John said he thinks the summer will boost their business.
"We just hope the Tribe keeps winning," Jeff said.
The bus can go anywhere in the state, John said; 4 Guys Enterprise would have to get special permits to travel out of Ohio.
John said if business goes well, 4 Guys will look into getting more buses or buying a limo.
The bus has a built-in cooler, a bathroom, surround-sound stereo, a television, a karaoke machine and other amenities.
The brothers will provide tables and chairs, but the bus has plenty of storage for grills and anything else people want to bring, Mike said.

Using a Spatial Filter and a Geographic Information System to Improve Rabies Surveillance Data
PDF Version [PDF - 938 KB - 4 pages]
A. J. CurtisView Abstract
The design and coordination of antirabies measures (e.g., oral vaccine and disease awareness campaigns) often depend on surveillance data. In Kentucky, health officials are concerned that the raccoon rabies epizootic that has spread throughout the east coast since the late 1970s could enter the state. The quality of surveillance data from Kentucky's 120 counties, however, may not be consistent. This article presents a geographic model that can be used with a geographic information system (GIS) to assess whether a county has a lower number of animals submitted for rabies testing than surrounding counties. This technique can be used as a first step in identifying areas needing improvement in their surveillance scheme. This model is a variant of a spatial filter that uses points within an area of analysis (usually a circle) to estimate the value of a central point. The spatial filter is an easy-to-use method of identifying point patterns, such as clusters or holes, at various geographic scales (county, intraurban), by using the traditional circle as an area of analysis or a GIS to incorporate a political shape (county boundary).
Food-Related Illness and Death in the United States
PDF Version [PDF - 168 KB - 19 pages]
P. S. Mead et al.View Abstract
To better quantify the impact of foodborne diseases on health in the United States, we compiled and analyzed information from multiple surveillance systems and other sources. We estimate that foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year. Known pathogens account for an estimated 14 million illnesses, 60,000 hospitalizations, and 1,800 deaths. Three pathogens, Salmonella, Listeria, and Toxoplasma, are responsible for 1,500 deaths each year, more than 75% of those caused by known pathogens, while unknown agents account for the remaining 62 million illnesses, 265,000 hospitalizations, and 3,200 deaths. Overall, foodborne diseases appear to cause more illnesses but fewer deaths than previously estimated.
Infections Associated with Eating Seed Sprouts: An International Concern
PDF Version [PDF - 89 KB - 9 pages]
P. J. Taormina et al.View Abstract
Recent outbreaks of Salmonella and Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections associated with raw seed sprouts have occurred in several countries. Subjective evaluations indicate that pathogens can exceed 107 per gram of sprouts produced from inoculated seeds during sprout production without adversely affecting appearance. Treating seeds and sprouts with chlorinated water or other disinfectants fails to eliminate the pathogens. A comprehensive approach based on good manufacturing practices and principles of hazard analysis and critical control points can reduce the risk of sprout-associated disease. Until effective measures to prevent sprout-associated illness are identified, persons who wish to reduce their risk of foodborne illness from raw sprouts are advised not to eat them; in particular, persons at high risk for severe complications of infections with Salmonella or E. coli O157:H7, such as the elderly, children, and those with compromised immune systems, should not eat raw sprouts.
The Human Ehrlichioses in the United States
PDF Version [PDF - 338 KB - 8 pages]
J. H. McQuiston et al.View Abstract
The emerging tick-borne zoonoses human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) are underreported in the United States. From 1986 through 1997, 1,223 cases (742 HME, 449 HGE, and 32 not ascribed to a specific ehrlichial agent) were reported by state health departments. HME was most commonly reported from southeastern and southcentral states, while HGE was most often reported from northeastern and upper midwestern states. The annual number of reported cases increased sharply, from 69 in 1994 to 364 in 1997, coincident with an increase in the number of states making these conditions notifiable. From 1986 through 1997, 827 probable and confirmed cases were diagnosed by serologic testing at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although how many of these cases were also reported by states is not known. Improved national surveillance would provide a better assessment of the public health importance of ehrlichiosis.
West Nile Fever–a Reemerging Mosquito-Borne Viral Disease in Europe
PDF Version [PDF - 100 KB - 8 pages]
Z. Hubálek and J. HalouzkaView Abstract
West Nile virus causes sporadic cases and outbreaks of human and equine disease in Europe (western Mediterranean and southern Russia in 1962-64, Belarus and Ukraine in the 1970s and 1980s, Romania in 1996-97, Czechland in 1997, and Italy in 1998). Environmental factors, including human activities, that enhance population densities of vector mosquitoes (heavy rains followed by floods, irrigation, higher than usual temperature, or formation of ecologic niches that enable mass breeding of mosquitoes) could increase the incidence of West Nile fever.
Morphologic and Molecular Characterization of New Cyclospora Species from Ethiopian Monkeys: C. cercopitheci sp.n., C. colobi sp.n., and C. papionis sp.n.
PDF Version [PDF - 448 KB - 8 pages]
M. L. Eberhard et al.View Abstract
In recent years, human cyclosporiasis has emerged as an important infection, with large outbreaks in the United States and Canada. Understanding the biology and epidemiology of Cyclospora has been difficult and slow and has been complicated by not knowing the pathogen's origins, animal reservoirs (if any), and relationship to other coccidian parasites. This report provides morphologic and molecular characterization of three parasites isolated from primates and names each isolate: Cyclospora cercopitheci sp.n. for a species recovered from green monkeys, C. colobi sp.n. for a parasite from colobus monkeys, and C. papionis sp.n. for a species infecting baboons. These species, plus C. cayetanensis, which infects humans, increase to four the recognized species of Cyclospora infecting primates. These four species group homogeneously as a single branch intermediate between avian and mammalian Eimeria. Results of our analysis contribute toward clarification of the taxonomic position of Cyclospora and its relationship to other coccidian parasites.
The Economic Impact of Pandemic Influenza in the United States: Priorities for Intervention
PDF Version [PDF - 198 KB - 13 pages]
M. I. Meltzer et al.View Abstract
We estimated the possible effects of the next influenza pandemic in the United States and analyzed the economic impact of vaccine-based interventions. Using death rates, hospitalization data, and outpatient visits, we estimated 89,000 to 207,000 deaths; 314,000 to 734,000 hospitalizations; 18 to 42 million outpatient visits; and 20 to 47 million additional illnesses. Patients at high risk (15% of the population) would account for approximately 84% of all deaths. The estimated economic impact would be US$71.3 to $166.5 billion, excluding disruptions to commerce and society. At $21 per vaccinee, we project a net savings to society if persons in all age groups are vaccinated. At $62 per vaccinee and at gross attack rates of 25%, we project net losses if persons not at high risk for complications are vaccinated. Vaccinating 60% of the population would generate the highest economic returns but may not be possible within the time required for vaccine effectiveness, especially if two doses of vaccine are required.
Influence of Host Genetics on the Severity of Coccidioidomycosis
PDF Version [PDF - 82 KB - 9 pages]
L. Louie et al.View Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis, a mild flulike illness in approximately 40% of infected persons, progresses to severe pulmonary or disseminated disease in 1% to 10% of symptomatic cases. We examined host genetic influences on disease severity among class II HLA loci and the ABO blood group. Participants included African-American, Caucasian, and Hispanic persons with mild or severe disseminated coccidioidomycosis from Kern County, California. Among Hispanics, predisposition to symptomatic disease and severe disseminated disease is associated with blood types A and B, respectively. The HLA class II DRB1*1301 allele marks a pre-disposition to severe disseminated disease in each of the three groups. Reduced risk for severe disease is associated with DRB1*0301-DQB1*0201 among Caucasians and Hispanics and with DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 among African-Americans. These data support the hypothesis that host genes, in particular HLA class II and the ABO blood group, influence susceptibility to severe coccidioidomycosis.
Abscesses due to Mycobacterium abscessus Linked to Injection of Unapproved Alternative Medication
PDF Version [PDF - 199 KB - 7 pages]
K. Galil et al.View Abstract
An unlicensed injectable medicine sold as adrenal cortex extract (ACE*) and distributed in the alternative medicine community led to the largest outbreak of Mycobacterium abscessus infections reported in the United States. Records from the implicated distributor from January 1, 1995, to August 18, 1996, were used to identify purchasers; purchasers and public health alerts were used to identify patients. Purchasers and patients were interviewed, and available medical records were reviewed. Vials of ACE* were tested for mycobacterial contamination, and the product was recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. ACE* had been distributed to 148 purchasers in 30 states; 87 persons with postinjection abscesses attributable to the product were identified. Patient and vial cultures contained M. abscessus identical by enzymatic and molecular typing methods. Unusual infectious agents and alternative health practices should be considered in the diagnosis of infections that do not respond to routine treatment.
Tracking Drug-Resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in Oregon: An Alternative Surveillance Method
PDF Version [PDF - 199 KB - 6 pages]
A. E. Chin et al.View Abstract
With the emergence of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, community-specific antimicrobial susceptibility patterns have become valuable determinants of empiric therapy for S. pneumoniae infections. Traditionally, these patterns are tracked by active surveillance for invasive disease, collection of isolates, and centralized susceptibility testing. We investigated whether a simpler and less expensive method— aggregating existing hospital antibiogramscould provide community-specific antimicrobial susceptibility data. We compared 1996 active surveillance data with antibiogram data from hospital laboratories in Portland, Oregon. Of the 178 S. pneumoniae active surveillance isolates, 153 (86% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 80% to 91%]) were susceptible to penicillin. Of the 1,092 aggregated isolates used by hospitals to generate antibiograms, 921 (84% [95% CI = 82%-87%]) were susceptible to penicillin. With the exception of one hospital's erythromycin susceptibility results, hospital-specific S. pneumoniae susceptibilities to penicillin, cefotaxime, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and erythromycin from the two methods were statistically comparable. Although yielding fewer data than active surveillance, antibiograms provided accurate, community-specific drug-resistant S. pneumoniae data in Oregon.

In a population-based study in the Netherlands, diphtheria antitoxin antibodies were measured with a toxin-binding inhibition assay in 9,134 sera from the general population and religious communities refusing vaccination. The Dutch immunization program appears to induce long-term protection against diphtheria. However, a substantial number of adults born before the program was introduced had no protective diphtheria antibody levels. Although herd immunity seems adequate, long-term population protection cannot be assured. As more than 60% of orthodox reformed persons have antibody levels lower than 0.01 IU/ml, introduction of diphtheria into religious communities refusing vaccination may constitute a danger of spread of the bacterium.
Acute Sin Nombre Hantavirus Infection without Pulmonary Syndrome, United States
PDF Version [PDF - 68 KB - 5 pages]
P. T. Kitsutani et al.View Abstract
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) occurs in most infections with Sin Nombre virus and other North American hantaviruses. We report five cases of acute hantavirus infection that did not fit the HPS case definition. The patients had characteristic prodromal symptoms without severe pulmonary involvement. These cases suggest that surveillance for HPS may need to be expanded.
Cryptosporidium parvum in Oysters from Commercial Harvesting Sites in the Chesapeake Bay
PDF Version [PDF - 160 KB - 5 pages]
R. Fayer et al.View Abstract
Oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum, a zoonotic waterborne pathogen, can be removed by bivalve molluscs from contaminated water and retained on gills and in hemolymph. We identified oocysts of C. parvum in oysters from seven sites in the Chesapeake Bay area. These findings document the presence of C. parvum infectious for humans in oysters intended for human consumption.
Seroepidemiology of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii Infection in California Coyotes, 1994-1998
PDF Version [PDF - 113 KB - 5 pages]
C. Chang et al.View Abstract
The prevalence of antibodies to Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in coyotes (Canis latrans) in California ranged from 51% in central to 34% in southern and 7% in northern California. Seropositive coyotes were more likely to be from coastal than inland counties (p < 0.05). The clustered distribution of Bartonella seropositivity in coyotes suggests that B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii infection is vectorborne. Further investigation is warranted to evaluate which arthropods are vectors and what the mode of transmission is from wildlife to domestic dogs and possibly humans.
Epidemic Typhus Imported from Algeria
PDF Version [PDF - 213 KB - 3 pages]
M. Niang et al.View Abstract
We report epidemic typhus in a French patient returning from Algeria. The diagnosis was confirmed by serologic testing and the isolation of Rickettsia prowazekii in blood. Initially the patient was thought to have typhoid fever. Because body lice are prevalent in industrialized regions, the introduction of typhus to pediculosis-endemic areas poses a serious public health risk.
Human and Animal Epidemic of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9, 1989–1997, Auvergne, France
PDF Version [PDF - 100 KB - 3 pages]
F. Gourdon et al.View Abstract
Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infections were reported in Auvergne in 1988 to 1989, while brucellosis due to Brucella abortus was almost eliminated. The serologic cross-reactions between the two bacteria complicated the diagnosis of brucellosis cases. In 1996, human cases of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 infection were detected, with a peak incidence of 12 cases. Veterinary surveillance could have predicted the emergence of this disease in humans.

I think the honest list is the list of movies of you've seen the most:
Star Wars -- yes, Empire's a better movie and a cooler pick, but Star Wars blew my 9 year old head
Withnail and I -- alcohol, drugs, no money or women -- pretty much my 20's.
Project X -- a movie about chimps who learn to fly a plane. Yes. You read that right.

Oak Harbor driver in Oct. 31 fatality arrested on warrant
An Oak Harbor man accused of causing an accident that killed a teenager and seriously injured her twin and another girl turned himself in on an arrest warrant Thursday, according to a detective with the Washington State Patrol.
Troopers found no indication that Ira Blackstock, 53, was drinking prior to the crash, but his blood will be tested after field sobriety tests showed signs of possible impairment from medication or drugs, said Craig Cardinal, a detective with the Washington State Patrol said.
Janeah Goheen, a 17-year-old Oak Harbor resident, died at the scene of the Oct. 31 accident; her twin sister, Janesah Goheen, was injured, as was Alysha Pickler, 18, of Oak Harbor.
Cardinal said Blackstock, the driver who caused the collision, suffered a broken leg but was arrested on the night of the accident.
Blackstock was released from jail on bail. The Skagit County prosecuting attorney obtained a $250,000 warrant for the arrest of Blackstock on suspicion of vehicular homicide and two counts of vehicular assault.
Cardinal said Blackstock wasn't home when officers went to arrest him, but that he later turned himself in.
According to Skagit County Prosecutor Richard Weyrich, the judge kept Blackstone's bail at $250,000 during a hearing Thursday.
Cardinal said there was no evidence that Blackstock consumed alcohol prior to the accident, but his blood will be tested to determine whether he may have been impaired by a drug.
Cardinal said a state trooper who is "a drug recognition expert" and another trooper interviewed Blackstock at the hospital. They reported seeing some "clues" from a gaze nystagmus test and from his recitation of the alphabet that Blackstock may have been impaired, the detective said.
Cardinal said the toxicology results likely won't be back for months.
Blackstock denies he was drinking or taking medication prior to the crash.
Under Washington state law, there are three "prongs" to the vehicular homicide and vehicular assault charges.
Those prongs cover driving while impaired, driving in a reckless manner and driving with disregard for others. Each prong has different standard sentence ranges; the DUI-related version is the most serious.
Cardinal said prosecutors had probable cause to believe Blackstock drove recklessly and with disregard for others.
According to Cardinal's report on the accident, Blackstock was driving his 2006 Ford Mustang south on State Highway 20 from "Sharpes Corner" in Skagit County and "accelerated rapidly" as he approached the intersection with Gibraltar Road.
The car, which had near-bald rear tires, broke traction on the wet asphalt, began to fishtail side-to-side and crossed into the oncoming lane.
The Mustang struck an oncoming 1993 Acura driven by Janesah Goheen just after 5 p.m..
The collision caused the death of rear-passenger Janeah Goheen, life-threatening injuries to driver Janesah Goheen, and a concussion to the front-seat passenger, Alysha Pickler, the report states.
Janesah Goheen was listed Thursday afternoon in critical condition at the intensive care unit of Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
"The purposeful and reckless acceleration by Ira L. Blackstock caused his Ford Mustang to strike the oncoming Acura four-door close to the northbound fog line of State Route no. 20," Cardinal wrote.
The reports states that the young women were headed to the Seattle area to attend different "haunted houses" in celebration of Halloween.
Cardinal said he believes that Blackstock's rapid acceleration of the Mustang caused the accident, but he's not sure he will be able to determine the speed of the car when it crossed the centerline.
Cardinal said he will obtain a search warrant to retrieve the computer in the Mustang to see if the speed was recorded.
An obituary for Janeah Goheen appears on page A8 of today's Whidbey News-Times.

MINNEAPOLIS — Maybe it was a hangover from the Spurs' resounding win over Oklahoma City the night before. Maybe it was the expected result of an older team, playing without three starters, on the second night of a long-distance back-to-back. Maybe, given the way the worst 3-point shooting team in the NBA went suddenly unconscious from beyond the arc, it was exactly as Stephen Jackson said it was.

Why does Cell Genesys (CEGE) trade in union with Dendreon (NASDAQ:DNDN)? While it is true that both CEGE and DNDN are in the cancer vaccine arena with prostate cancer drugs, those vaccines completely compete against each other.
CEGE is expected to have its trials completed for potential approval of GVAX in 2010. DNDN will likely have a one year head start with Provenge. This one year head start is positive for DNDN, but not the end of the world for CEGE. GVAX trials for advanced prostate cancer have shown great progress and GVAX is already being tested in other cancers besides advanced prostate cancer trials, including phase 2 trials for patients with leukemia and pancreatic cancers.
DNDN market cap sits above 600m while CEGE is about 300m. When DNDN made its rise above 20 and then to 25, CEGE followed up over 7. When DNDN crashed back to 7, then 6, then 5 and now back to 9, CEGE has followed a similar pattern in smaller increments.
Why is CEGE tied to DNDN? CEGE's GVAX vaccine is not tied to DNDN's success or failure of Provenge. CEGE technology is not dependent on DNDN. CEGE has a history of making wise decisions with regards to its financials. What a smart move it was for them to sell stock when DNDN was cruising to institutional investors. CEGE raised gross proceeds of $60 million, selling 10.8 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.55 per share. You can currently buy the stock for more than a dollar off on the open market compared to what the institutions bought 60 million dollars worth! So much for a discount for buying in bulk!
Previously CEGE owned a large portion of Abgenix (ABGX), which was bought by Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) and CEGE sold its holding for a huge gain. In January and February 2006, CEGE sold 3 million shares of Abgenix resulting in gross proceeds of $65.5 million and a realized gain of $62.7 million. Another investment that could pay dividends in the future is Ceregene. According to the latest 10-K, CEGE owns approximately 25% of Ceregene, which is a clinical stage biotech concentrating on neurological disorders, such as Lou Gehrig's Disease and Parkinson's, its Parkinson's drug is in Phase II trials. So, CEGE itself provides a broader range investment than DNDN, even though DNDN is further ahead in the quest for a prostate cancer "vaccine" therapy.
While I own shares in both companies, they are certainly competitors and should not trade in tandem. Even CEGE states in its 10-k that an example of a competitor in "the cancer immunotherapy area includes Dendreon Corporation." Shouldn't DNDN's recent problems with the FDA have been good news for CEGE and its stockholders?
Disclosure: I own shares in DNDN and CEGE.

Minka Kelly's Rep Slams Airplane Meltdown Reports
An attorney for Minka Kelly has dismissed reports the actress had a meltdown on a recent flight after attendants banned her from cuddling her dog during take-off.
The (500) Days of Summer star was said to have freaked out after she was told her pooch couldn't sit on her seat while flying from New York to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Reports suggested that several stewards were needed to calm Kelly down after the incident.
However, Minka's lawyer Marty Singer tells TMZ.com the story is "ridiculous," insisting Kelly was asked to leave her dog in the coach cabin during take-off and landing while she was sitting in first class - and that the star was fine with the request.
