Audience With the Queens Fails to Capture Key West's Drag Culture
To call Audience With the Queens a documentary would insult the word documentary and burden this little trifle with expectations it can never match. Purporting to be a look at Key West's drag queens, "on and offstage," in practice the film is little more than a half-hour postcard for the 801 Cabaret Club, where nearly all of Audience's stars perform. The banal voice-over narration sounds like it came from a junior high book report ("Key West has many charitable events!"), and most of the film's interview subjects are so far off-mic, you can't hear what they're saying. Not that it matters. The editing is too choppy to allow any of the captured queens to articulate a complete thought — or even, very often, a complete sentence — and even the queens' performance clips are truncated unto meaninglessness. Worse, we learn nothing about their lives — what sustains those brave boys who don dresses and trade career prospects and mainstream respectability for a life of faux fabulousness and real poverty. That's a question filmmaker Robbie Hopcraft never thinks to ask, much less try to answer.

WARNER – Connors State's Jarrard Poteete, sophomore catcher from Hilldale High School in Muskogee was drafted in the 19th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Minnesota Twins.
Poteete was the 560th player selected in the draft.
Poteete, who transferred to Connors State from Texas Tech to play for Cowboys head coach Perry Keith, was an Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference and Region II selection last season in leading Connors State to a 46-13 record. The Cowboys placed third in the Region II Tournament and first place in the OCAC.
The catcher batted .390 in 195 appearances at the plate, collecting 76 base hits, which included 15 doubles, one triple and four home runs. He had a slugging percentage of .538 and an on base percentage of .481.
He appeared in 58-of the Cowboys 59 games last season, collecting 55 RBIs, walking 27 times and striking out just 14 times. Poteeete also had three stolen bases.

Among individuals with the degenerative arthritis commonly referred to as osteoarthritis (OA), pain is what patients describe as having the largest impact on the performing of daily activities---and the main cause of visits to the doctor. While it is therefore not surprising that the main focus of treatment would obviously be on the relief of that pain, such an approach may be too narrow for the optimal management of OA—or any other disease for that matter. It seems both patient and physician are neglecting the negative role fatigue plays in the daily lives of the lives of patients suffering from OA. Fatigue can be a predictor of bad things to come, particularly in an older population, as it is one of the five clinical indicators in most models of frailty, the others being:
• Impaired strength
• Impaired endurance
• Impaired balance
• Increased vulnerability to trauma or other stressors.
Relevant to OA, when fatigue in older adults has been measured as tiredness in the performance of daily activities, it predicted the development of mobility problems, dependence in the performance of daily activities, and the risk of an (early) death.
Health care providers—and perhaps patients themselves—buy into the assumption that pain causes fatigue, and therefore the relief of that pain will result in a corresponding reduction in fatigue. However, it may be that this assumption is flawed, because pain and fatigue may have different etiologies and a complex interplay. Interestingly, fatigue has been cited as the primary reason that an older adult might limit his or her activity, and thus the relationship between fatigue and activity must be better characterized. In fact, previous studies have found that when assessing symptoms within and across days ("momentary fatigue" and pain) and related physical activity, it was found that fatigue was more related to reduced physical activity than pain in women afflicted with OA. In addition, researchers found that women with OA were 4 times more likely to experience an increased level of fatigue after an intense session of physical activity compared with matched healthy patients.
It is crucial that those who provide medical care to patients be educated as to the manner in which fatigue is associated with subsequent levels of day-to-day activity. If medical and mental health professionals can better understand the mechanisms of behavior adjustment and activity levels in the face of fatigue, then perhaps patients can be offered more targeted and efficient behavioral interventions.
A study described a few weeks ago in "Arthritis Care & Research" examined the impact of fatigue on subsequent physical activity in subjects with OA. Increased momentary fatigue was associated with reduced subsequent activity, and in fact was more robustly associated with activity when compared with pain. Interestingly, pain showed no association with activity. The authors of this article stress that they recruited individuals with clinically significant baseline fatigue levels; and it was the daily experience of fatigue that was overwhelmingly associated with physical activity levels, reinforcing the assumptions that it is an important treatment target when dealing with patients with symptomatic OA.
For example, as subjects with the highest functional mobility levels experienced the strongest effects of fatigue on subsequent activity, perhaps the best treatment for similar patients would be, for example, activity pacing. Such pacing may lead to increased activity levels—and has in fact been shown to ease fatigue. In contrast, patients with lower functional mobility may be best served by having the focus of therapy turned toward the goal of improving physical function in order to decrease fatigue.
Not all patients with OA are alike. It is not just pain, but fatigue, that slows down many. Once we internalize this, we can serve our patients more efficiently, and completely.

In this contest between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles, we go into halftime with a much closer contest than anyone expected.
Still, the Eagles have completely outplayed the Falcons, as evidenced by the Falcons' 90 total yards of offense to the Eagles' 200-plus yards.
Despite the numbers of the game going completely in Philly's favor, the Falcons broke the game open with a massive turnover and return at the end of the half, resulting in a short drive to a score. This made the game 14-10 in their favor rather than a 17-7 game in favor of Philadelphia.
Their offensive woes are evident, and without that major defensive break, the Falcons would be coming into half two at a major disadvantage.
With that in mind, here are five adjustments that the Atlanta Falcons need to make going into the second half if they want to keep the lead and win this game

Marion County, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - The father of a Huntington woman convicted of selling pain pills has filed a tort claim against the state after his daughter died in prison.
Rachel Wood who had lupus was sent to prison in 2010.
Her family was kept in the dark regarding the severity of her illness only to later find out by the Marion County Coroner that Wood died due to doctor error, because she was over medicated.
Rachel's Father, Claude Wood says, "She is doing fine, she's excellent doing quite well, the next call she was gone."
Her father says he filed the tort claim to make sure this never happens again.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach cops have announced that they are suing the city for $39 million.
The officers say they can prove they were punished for backing Republicans.
A total of six officers originally filed suit in 2012 claiming they were demoted or re-assigned for backing Republican candidates. Their case was dismissed for lack of proof.
The officers now say they have the proof they need, emails sent from Democratic leaders to city officials.

Let us Welcome you in Amsterdam, Capital of Inspiration. An amazing city, with many facets that will delight you. From the historic heart of the city to the high-tech buildings on the city's new Zuidas, Amsterdam is a lively city, and it invites you to come over and enjoy its pleasures. It is a place with a creative and informal atmosphere, a metropolis at the size of a village. Amsterdam has a lot to offer, including: some of the greatest works of art in the world, more canals than Venice, more bridges than Paris and 7,000 monumental buildings. No wonder Amsterdam's ancient centre was nominated for UNESCO's world heritage list. Amsterdam has many other surprises as well. From world-famous diamond factories, to excellent shopping centres and many bars and clubs. 24 hours a day, Amsterdam will surprise you with its endless possibilities and its free, open spirit, 24 hours a day.

Dear Mr. Ouvrier, We have recently been informed that Amsterdam has been invited to bid for the XIIIth Child Neurology Congress (INCN). We would consider it a great honour to cooperate with you in hosting the ICNC 2014. We are convinced that the choice of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and the Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre would benefit the event in many ways. For example, in terms of the RAI s accessibility and the attractions of the city of Amsterdam as a tourist and cultural centre. And above all because of the added value of the Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre itself. The Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre has been developed into Europe s most enjoyable, innovative and international compact venue the last five years. This has been achieved by a 125 million programme by which we refurbished and upgraded the whole RAI complex. Amsterdam RAI convention Centre is expanded by the addition of an entirely new building. The modern and innovative Elicium enables the RAI to serve its customers better by providing top quality facilities. The Elicium is ideal for large (gala) dinners, parties, exhibitions, congresses, product presentations fashion and road shows and receptions. In fact, we are investing not only in buildings but also in people. All our staff are well-trained and multilingual and have a real passion for hospitality . So you can count on their dedication to you at all times. I sincerely hope that all this assures you that the ICNC delegates will have a truly unforgettable experience, Yours sincerely,

My contact with Dutch Child Neurology started, after my training Paediatrics in Belgium, with my training in Neurology, Child neurology and research training in Groningen and Zurich. During the period of creating the first department of Child Neurology in Flanders, I had excellent contact with Dutch Child Neurology. I had wonderful collaboration during the years I was board member and President of ICNA and President of ESPN and Editor of the EJPN. This mutual collaboration was awarded with the Cornelia de Lange award of the Dutch society of Child Neurology. The many meetings I attended in the Netherlands, organized by the Dutch Society were excellent as to the scientific content and as to the organization. A magnificent meeting was the congress of the EPNS organized, together with our Dutch colleagues in Maastricht. Without any hesitation I am convinced that the ICNA would largely profit from a collaboration with the Dutch Society for the planning and organization of the ICNA meeting in 2014 in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Dear Board Members, The Dutch Society of Child Neurology has informed us about its intention to bid for the 2014 International Child Neurology Congress in Amsterdam. The section Child Rehabilitation Medicine of the Dutch Society of Rehabilitation Medicine strongly supports the candidature of the Netherlands to host this congress. In a lot of countries, the (re)habilitation of children with developmental limitations, and especially on the field of limitation in mobility, is not well developed. In the Netherlands, there is a very close collaboration between the Child Neurology and Child Rehabilitation, which can serve as an example for other countries. We seriously hope that the board will favourably decide on this application of the Dutch Society of Child Neurology On behalf of the board of the section Child rehabilitation of the Dutch Society of Rehabilitation Physicians,

- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups salsa
What To Do:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute beef until browned; drain off excess liquid.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Serve immediately.
