Youthful groups compete for a shot at gigs at Summerfest, Vans Warped Tour
Life in a Tree has top gear, a steady catalog of covers and originals, a flashy website and a solid EP inspired by alt-rock acts like Fall Out Boy, Paramore and blink-182.
But because the band members are 14- and 15-year-old freshmen at Grafton High School, they can't play many clubs in the Milwaukee area, and "it's hard to be taken seriously" by adults, or even by their friends, said drummer Jimmy Cooper, 15. »Read Full Article
'Renoir' paints story of world, art in transition
"A painting should be something pleasant and cheerful," aging painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir tells his son, filmmaker-to-be Jean, in the period drama "Renoir." "There are enough disagreeable things in life. I don't need to create more."
Co-written and directed by Gilles Bourdos, "Renoir" is a story of creativity in twilight, and at its dawning. Appropriately enough, most of its scenes are fit to be framed, all soft tones and sun-dappled. »Read Full Article

College basketball stars who flopped in NBA
Some NCAA players struggled as pros
Not every great college basketball player is going to make it as a pro, but some just have further to fall than others.
Some players who were legends on the college court just couldn't seem to translate that success in the NBA. In other words, they were flops.
It's subjective, this thing we call an NBA flop. But, really, it all boils down to one thing: expectations. This is the ruler by which all athletes are judged, regardless of whether they're professionals or amateurs.
In this article, we aren't going to focus on simple NBA underachievers, those players who didn't live up to their expectations coming out of college, but still had respectable NBA careers, like Danny Manning or Danny Ferry.
Instead, let's look at five flops: NCAA superstars who not only didn't live up to expectations, but also wreaked havoc on the teams that drafted them ...
No. 5: Christian Laettner
Christian Laettner could serve as the poster-boy for the didn't-live-up-to-expectations players.
When the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted him third overall in 1992, they thought they were drafting the Laettner who beat out Jim Jackson and, believe it or not, Shaquille O'Neal to gain a spot on the gold-medal-winning U.S. men's Olympic basketball team, considered by many to be the best team ever assembled in any sport.
The T-Wolves wanted the Laettner whose No. 32 jersey was retired by Duke, after he averaged 16.6 points and 7.7 rebounds per game and led the Blue Devils to four consecutive NCAA tournaments, finishing as champions in 1991 and 1992.
Instead, they got the Laettner who played pretty well his rookie season, averaging 18.2 points per game, but that was about it. The T-Wolves hoped he would only get better, but he went from the penthouse to the outhouse about as fast as Milli Vanilli.
No. 4: Steve Alford
The young Steve Alford was the quintessential hometown hero: he earned the coveted Mr. Basketball title for the state of Indiana in his senior year; averaged 18.5 points per game during his career at Indiana University, earning first-team All-American honors in both his junior and senior years; grabbed a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics; and led the Hoosiers to a national title in 1987.
So it's understandable that Indiana Pacers' fans would be livid with the squad after selecting Reggie Miller with the 11th overall pick in 1987's draft instead of golden boy Alford. But, as much as we fans love to gripe about management, they happened to make the right move this time.
Alford, after going 26th overall to the Dallas Mavericks, only played four seasons in the NBA, averaging a measly 4.4 points per game.
Alford has since followed his father's footsteps, with successful coaching stints at Southwest Missouri State, Iowa and New Mexico, but that doesn't change the fact he flopped in the NBA.
No. 3: Pervis Ellison
Although we're ranking "Never Nervous" Pervis Ellison No. 3 on our flops list, we would rank him near the very top if we had a Best Nicknames Ever list.
Perhaps it's true that Pervis was never nervous, as unlikely as that seems, but what we do know for certain is that he played a pivotal role in the Louisville Cardinals' run to the NCAA championship in 1986.
Ellison was only a freshman when he put on a show in that championship game, putting up 25 points and hauling in 11 rebounds as Louisville snuck past Duke for a three-point victory.
The Sacramento Kings picked "Never Nervous" No. 1 overall in 1989. Jump ahead only three years and Ellison was already given the dubious honor of being the NBA's Most Improved Player. In Ellison's defense, however, it must be noted that he suffered debilitating knee injuries from 1992 to 1994.
No. 2: Adam Morrison
It's unfortunate, but Adam "Crybaby" Morrison is probably best known for openly weeping on the court after his Gonzaga Bulldogs lost to UCLA in 2006's Sweet 16.
Tears aside, Morrison was an outstanding college player. A consensus first-team All-American, Morrison led the nation in scoring in his junior year (which would turn out to be his last in college, turning pro after the season) with 28.1 points per game.
The kiss of death for Morrison came when he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated (twice), prompting the inevitable comparisons to Larry Bird. The Charlotte Bobcats bought into the hype, selecting the Gonzaga Bulldog with their third overall pick in 2006.
Barring a Herculean career comeback, those Morrison-Bird comparisons are a bad joke. After four lackluster seasons in the NBA, including a final year warming the bench for the Lakers, Morrison then played professional basketball overseas in Istanbul, Turkey. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Carolina wilderness, there are Bobcats crying like ... well, like Morrison in that Sweet 16 loss.
No. 1: Ed O'Bannon
Unless you're a diehard college basketball fan -- or an even more die-hard NBA fan -- you probably don't remember Ed O'Bannon.
UCLA fans, however, probably remember him as the player who made a miraculous recovery from a knee injury and, in 1995, led the Bruins to their first national championship since the John Wooden era. His college career stats are incredible, averaging 20.4 points and 8.3 boards per game.
The New Jersey Nets, no doubt anticipating similar, if not better, numbers, took O'Bannon with their ninth overall pick in 1995.
This would turn out to be the peak of O'Bannon's NBA career. He played in only 128 games in his two years in the league before that dang knee injury cropped up again. This time there would be no miraculous recovery. This time it signaled the end of a forgettable professional career.
Unless you're a Nets fan, of course. They might never be able to forget the pick wasted on O'Bannon.

Surgical Removal of the Lung or Portions of the Lung
Surgery is used to remove the cancer cells from the lungs. It is primarily used for early stage lung cancer, but can sometimes be used in more advanced stages of the disease following chemotherapy or combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The doctor may remove a small part of the lung (a wedge resection), an entire lobe of the lung (lobectomy), or the entire lung (pneumonectomy). The amount of lung removed depends on several factors, including the size and location of the tumor, whether lymph nodes have cancer in them, and how well the lungs are functioning. Not all lung cancers are amenable to surgery, and some are initially treated with chemotherapy and radiation rather than surgery.
Thoracotomy with Resection
A thoracotomy is a surgical method for opening the chest wall in order to access the lungs. The surgeon makes an incision along the back in a C-shaped manner, and the chest wall is opened. The surgeon removes the tissue and/or tumor from the lungs or works with other structures in the chest as necessary. So the lungs will re-inflate after surgery, one or more catheters (chest tubes) are inserted to drain air and blood from the space between the lungs and chest wall.

The power of the weekend blizzard's pounding waves washed thousands of shellfish on to Massachusetts beaches.
On Nantasket Beach in Hull on Tuesday, Joe Delmonaco said the beach was littered with piles of dead lobsters, along with sea clams, starfish and skates.
On Monday, beachcombers on Revere Beach found tens of thousands of surf clams along the beach's 3.5 mile expanse.
Paul Diodati, director of the state Division of Marine Fisheries, told the Boston Globe that the surf clams, which were buried in shallow sandy areas, were thrown onto the beach by waves.
Delmonaco said the lobster and other shellfish in Hull attracted sea gulls which made them their Tuesday meal.

No other movie reviews could best express how effective and moving the latest big-screen adaptation of "Les Misérables" than this candid family video.
After watching the musical film, the family left a New York cinema sobbing loudly inside their car.
"Wasn't it better than the play, George? It was better than the play," the crying mother told her husband.
When asked about the saddest part of the film, the mom said that she was deeply stirred at the end when Jean Valjean was dying.
"I was walking and I was crying," the father in the driver seat confessed. He added that he cried more over the movie than the funerals that he had been to.
"I'm so upset. I don't want to talk about this," the mom bawled. Their sons, Ryan and Kevin Ferguson, laughed and continued to videotape them on the way home.
The latest movie adaptation of "Les Misérables" is packed with star-studded cast, among them Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. The Tom Hooper movie touches on the economic upheaval and social unrest during the 19th century France.

A man found a skeleton inside a tent near railroad tracks in Ocala, authorities said.
Lt. Scott Fosler told the Ocala Star-Banner the remains found Sunday had likely been in the tent for between six months and a year.
Fosler said a skull could be seen inside the tent, partially covered by a blanket. He said other bones were scattered around the camp site.
Fosler said there are no indications of foul play. But the Ocala Police Department is investigating.

Rock and roll was invented in America and so was mass production of the automobile.
It only seems natural that the two frequently go together like chocolate and peanut butter -- two great tastes that taste great together.
As long as rockers have been writing songs, they have been singing about their love for fast cars, so much so that the old saying could easily go "sex, drugs, cars and rock and roll."
When Americans take road trips across the country's highways and these songs come on, many are likely to turn the volume up and step down on the gas.
So if you've got a road trip in your future, why not take along these 10 songs to make the miles speed by faster?
No. 10: "No Particular Place to Go" by Chuck Berry
Perhaps no song better sums up the feeling of taking a long Sunday drive for no good reason than "No Particular Place to Go."
Berry's classic song dates back to 1964 and reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. But things don't turn out perfectly for the singer, whose date is foiled by a malfunctioning safety belt.
Best lyrics:
Ridin' along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
No. 9: "Highway Star" by Deep Purple
"Highway Star" is one of Deep Purple's best known songs and appeared on its 1972 album "Machine Head." It is a fast-paced song with ripping guitar chords that is basically a high octane love song about the singer's unspecified car.
Former Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover told Guitar Magazine in a 2003 interview that the song was actually written on a tour bus in 1971 when a reporter asked the band how they wrote songs. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore grabbed an acoustic guitar while singer Ian Gillan improvised lyrics.
The song was refined and was performed that same night. Now, that's rock and roll.
Best lyrics:
Oooh its a killing machine
It's got everything!
No. 8: "Drive My Car" by The Beatles
"Drive My Car" was the opening track to the Beatles 1965 album "Rubber Soul," which was ranked as the fifth best album of all time by Rolling Stone in 2003.
The song is one of the Beatles more lighthearted songs and it's hard not to get a smile on your face if it comes on the radio while you are out cruising around.
Just try to avoid shouting along with the "Beep beep'm beep beep yeah" parts. We dare you.
Best lyrics:
I told that girl I can start right away
When she said listen babe I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start

"Duck Dynasty" - yes, that one - is making its debut in Milwaukee for a night of "Tales From the Duck Commanders" with Phil Robertson, his wife, Kay, daughter-in-law Korie (Willie's wife) and fan favorite Uncle Si in person. Tickets are $46.50.
On the other side of W. Wisconsin Ave. downtown at the Rave, electronic artist Pretty Lights, will be playing at 7:30 p.m. with Blood Diamonds and Paul Basic. Don't worry - Imagine Dragons are nowhere near tonight's show, which should discourage 20,000 people stampeding the entrance (remember that Saturday at Summerfest?). But we can't make any promises. »Read Full Blog Post

After buying the most expensive toys, leave it to a baby to find joy in something as simple as a rubber band.
While playing in the kitchen, twin sisters discover that a rubber band vibrates when snapped on the door knob.
Instantly, it becomes their favorite toy and the two babies repeatedly take turns snapping the bands while laughing uncontrollably.
It's two minutes of cuteness and hilarity. Already the video, which was posted to YouTube yesterday, has reached over fifty-four thousand views.

There are two really important holidays on a kid's calendar: Christmas and Halloween. Sure, you might argue that Fourth of July should be on there (you get to blow stuff up), but no one really looks forward to it all year the same way.
But those days can easily be ruined. On Christmas, all it takes is to open a package of socks and underwear. On Halloween, there are always neighbors who offer up some awful treats.
Can candy truly be awful? Yeah. Unfortunately it can. And it's usually a matter of people deciding to go cheap. While Old Mrs. Fenstermacher might save a couple bucks buying hard candy rather than chocolate bars, it does nothing for her neighborhood cred. And it just wrecks Halloween for everyone else.
So whether you're in the mood to reflect on your own youthful trick-or-treating or just want some candy pointers to avoid ending up on the trick side of the equation this year, let's unwrap the five worst Halloween treats ...
No. 5: Smarties
Who thought these up? Smarties are those multicolored round candies that are packaged in a roll. You pull both ends of the cellophane wrapper and the fruit-flavored candies fall out.
Oh, yeah, and they have the texture of baby aspirin.
Now, it is true -- some people do like Smarties. But on the whole, when you look at your trick-or-treating haul, these are usually the last things that get eaten.
Receiving them isn't enough for kids to go back to the offender's house with a bag of dog poop and a lighter, but no one ever opens their bag and exclaims, "Oh, yay! Smarties!"
No one looks forward to dumping their haul out on the living room floor and having a Smarties section to their sort pile.
The same can be said for our next strange Halloween "treat" ...
No. 4: Circus Peanuts
Circus Peanuts are the red headed step-cousins of the Easter favorite, Peeps. But while Peeps can get away with it (they are dipped in sparkly, pastel sugar) Circus Peanuts are a harder sell.
These things are hard, banana-flavored marshmallows, colored orange, and shaped like huge peanuts. The words that describe these things don't even go together.
I guess it could be argued that since they were invented in the 1800s, there is some nostalgic value. But you know what else they had in the 1800s? Polio.
While Circus Peanuts are a disappointment, they aren't without their redemption -- in the 1960s, General Mills discovered that by modifying the recipe a bit, they could be added to breakfast cereal, giving the world Lucky Charms. Since then, Americans have never been fatter or had more cases of Type II diabetes.
But, at least Circus Peanuts are candy, unlike our next treat ...
No. 3: Apples
Apples are bad giveaways for a couple of reasons: First, they aren't candy.
Sure, you can argue that people give out apples because they are healthy and won't rot your teeth. And that's fine, hippies, but we get plenty of fruit the rest of the year. Tonight is all about unhealthy, dentist-be-damned refined sugar.
Second, it's really just a waste, because no one eats the apple.
Forget that it's fruit and it's an insult, but even the kids who might eat them are hovered over by protective parents who are looking for hidden razor blades and syringe needles that you obviously planted in the apples to maim the children. (Never mind that if you did that, everyone would know who gave out the Death Apples, so it would be the easiest crime to solve, but we digress).

Still enjoying the success of the uproarious summer comedy "Ted," Mark Wahlberg is back with a crime thriller filled with political intrigue with "Broken City" -- proving once again that the prolific actor is unwilling to settle for any one genre as continues to navigate through his very successful career on the big screen.
"I'm always looking for the exact opposite of what I just did," Wahlberg told me in a recent interview. "I've always been told that I can't do any of it, so I'm trying to find ways to do it all and I've been very fortunate when it comes to that."
Opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, "Broken City" stars Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a former NYPD cop who loses his job after he dodges a controversial case where he was accused of murdering a suspect in the midst of an investigation.
Struggling to make ends meet as a private detective in the seven years after his departure, Billy gets a huge break when the city's powerful mayor, Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe), hires him to investigate his wife, Cathleen (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who he suspects of having an affair. With an election and a serious challenge from a city council member (Barry Pepper) for the seat, Hostetler fears that his inability to control his private life will derail his chance to get re-elected.
But what seems as a simple job of getting photographic evidence of an affair is much more complicated than it seems. Little does Billy know, he's being used as a pawn in a much bigger plan by Hostetler, who holds on to key evidence from Billy's past that could ruin his future -- leading to an intense showdown between the former allies turned adversaries.
Wahlberg said he feels fortunate that he had a chance to latch onto scribe Brian Tucker's screenplay, a project on Hollywood's infamous "Blacklist" which escaped production until now.
"It was on the best unproduced screenplay in Hollywood. It's so well-written and well-crafted," Wahlberg enthused. "There are so many juicy roles in it. That's why we were able to attract the talents and the likes of Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jeffrey Wright, Barry Pepper and Kyle Chandler. It gave everybody an opportunity to come in and do their thing and be a part of something interesting."
Wahlberg, of course, got an opportunity to do his thing as an actor -- but even more exciting, as one of the film's producers, it gave him the chance again (he's previously produced such films as "The Fighter" and "Contraband") be influential behind the scenes.
"Wearing two hats, being the producer as well as the star of the movie, it's one of those things where I get to do both jobs, yet try to not let one of them interfere with the other," Wahlberg said. "As a character, it was about trying to find a way to becoming this guy and finding a way to relate to him. I really like the way that he had to find a way to confront himself and decide whether or not he's going to do the right thing, even if it means that he has to risk losing his freedom."
As performer, Wahlberg said that he doesn't let producer duties influence his personal sensibilities as an actor. On the flip side, though, he's cognizant of the people he's hired in the capacity of being a filmmaker.
"I always have the entire movie in my head and I'm constantly thinking of ways we can service the movie as a whole," Wahlberg observed. "I want to give everybody else an opportunity to do their best work so we can make something special."
Wahlberg has a great nemesis in the film with Crowe, and while he's long revered the actor as an audience member, he said he's gained a whole new appreciation of the Oscar winner now that he's had an opportunity to work with him.
"Now, I really admire his work ethic as much as his work," Wahlberg said. "When you're dealing with guys who are so professional -- guys like Russell and Denzel Washington (whom Wahlberg stars in the upcoming crime drama "2 Guns") -- seeing what they do and how they do their job, it's inspiring."
Wahlberg, 41, found on "Broken City" that he and Crowe had a lot in common, which made the project all the more exciting.
"We're both meticulous in our preparation, making sure we know every single line of dialogue and every comma and every pause," Wahlberg said. "While we each have our own take on things, we're also prepared to be able to do anything and try anything because it's still a discovery process. We're similar in that way, but the guy has such a gift."
In the case of "Broken City," the discovery was that the character -- not the actor who plays him -- comes first.
"What I loved about it was we had two guys that were going at each other at all costs, so you need to have formidable opponents," Wahlberg explained. "We would never to outdo each other as actors, just as the characters we were playing and service the movie as a whole."

Waterbury hotel project: A tall order
By David Taube
WATERBURY A proposed five-story, 73-room hotel on the site of the Thatcher Brook Inn on Route 100 doesnt fit the character of the existing historic district, according to state officials at an Act 250 hearing on the project last week, an assessment that could derail the proposal unless design changes are made.
The property lies in the Colbyville Historic District, which includes the Colbyville mansion and other buildings. Devin Colman, historic preservation review coordinator with the state Division for Historic Preservation, said the existing buildings in the district are two and a half stories at most.
The overall context is of an historic, residential grouping of buildings, and this is a five-story hotel in the middle of that district, Colman said at the hearing. We dont save an historic district by dropping (a) five-story hotel in the middle of it.
Property owner Joe Larkin of Larkin Realty in Burlington is seeking to remodel and expand the Thatcher Brook Inn. It would become a new franchise of the Marriott Fairfield Inn and Suites chain.
At the hearing, Act 250 Region 5 commission member Jerry Diamond, one of three panelists reviewing the project, chastised the developers for not reconciling the size of the project with the standards of the Division for Historic Preservation, which is part of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development.
I understand ... your client wants 73 rooms. But I travel for a living 80 to 100 days a year. I stay in Fairfield Inns across this country, and I stay in plenty of them that are only two and three stories tall, Diamond said at the hearing, held in a conference room of the Best Western Plus Hotel on Route 100. Its a shame that was not negotiated with Historic Preservation and had to come to us without that agreement.
Colman said the developers presented a take-it-or-leave-it approach, but Larkin disputes that.
While the construction of the hotel would demolish parts of two historic buildings and a walkway between them, the core of the historic structures would remain intact. The development team had considered moving or demolishing some of the buildings but decided the five-story design that integrated the two cores of the historic buildings was the best approach, according to Greg Rabideau, the project architect.
In seeking to mitigate the projects impact, the development team also moved the design farther back onto the property away from the road.
The development team contended there wasnt as much dialogue as it would have liked with the Division for Historic Preservation, suggesting that state officials were challenged by a significant workload in connection with Tropical Storm Irene and the destruction it caused at the Waterbury state office complex.
The development team also has argued that the project would not hurt the character of the area. In a formal October filing, Rabideaus firm pointed to the nearby Shaws development and the size of the Ben & Jerrys factory, as well as other development on Route 100 including gas stations and a shopping center.
I think its unfair to the applicant to sort of push back and say that this is some pristine historic village that needs to be preserved because the buildings are compromised, the surroundings are compromised, Rabideau said.
The height of the hotel remains the central sticking point.
Colman declined to specify at last weeks hearing, and in an interview afterward, exactly what height might be acceptable.
Diamond said, Everything ... can be resolved, signage on down, except for the size of the project. Youve made it much more difficult for us.
And ultimately if we decide to go with Historic Preservations argument, he said, were going to put you back with them anyway if you want to continue on the site. Youre going to ultimately have to negotiate a size that they can live with.
Larkin, the developer, said after the meeting that he imagines some significant redesigning would occur to address the states concerns and make the project happen.

"Makkai has written a novel that reads almost like early Muriel Spark — clever, competent, and concealing an unsettling and skewed reality under the straightforward genre piece it initially presents itself as," wrote Chicago Tribune reviewer Amy Gentry. »Read Full Article

3D Tissue Constructs Step-by-Step
Click on a number from above to reveal the corresponding step instructions. The links below are permanent and bookmarkable.
Receipt of Tissues
Each tissue is comprised of human cells in a 3-dimensional tissue structure.
Tissues are inspected for irregularities and then transferred to pre-labeled plates containing pre-warmed medium. The plates are then placed in a humidified incubator to equilibrate the tissues.
After an incubation period, the test material, positive control or negative control is applied directly onto the tissue surface.
Both solid and liquid materials can be tested. Dosing preparation may be adjusted to accommodate specific physical test article characteristics or client needs.
After a specified exposure time, the test material is rinsed from the tissue with a buffered saline solution.
Specific protocols or tissue types may include additional rinsing procedures.
Transfer to MTT
The tissues are transferred to MTT solution and incubated.
MTT is actively taken up by the tissues and subsequently reduced in the mitochondria of living cells. This chemical reaction produces a purple-colored formazan within the cells, causing the live tissues to turn deep purple in color.
Test materials that result in cell death will not produce this color change. The more toxic the test material, the less purple the tissue will be.
Extraction in Isopropanol and Plate Reading
After the MTT incubation, the tissues are transferred from the MTT solution to isopropanol. The isopropanol extracts the purple-colored formazan from the tissues.
Aliquots of each extracted tissue are transferred to a 96-well plate to be read by the spectrophotometer. Absorbance readings from test material treated tissues are compared to negative control tissues. Changes in % cell viability relative to the negative controls are interpreted to evaluate the irritation potential of the test material.
Direct MTT Reduction and Killed Controls
Prior to beginning an assay, each test material is pre-screened for direct MTT reduction.
The test material is added to MTT solution. A color change indicates its ability to directly reduce MTT. Freeze-killed control tissues may be utilized concurrently in the assay to determine the extent of direct MTT reduction (if any) by the test article.

Pet owners have a responsibility to keep their pets from biting.
Did you know that cat bites may appear trivial, however, up to 80 percent of cat bites may become infected if proper care is not taken.
According to the American Humane Association, an estimated 4.7 million dog bites occur in the U.S. each year and of those, nearly 800,000 require medical care.

During each TV Pet Show, a quick tip is shared. Here they are:
Know where your pet hides
Know where your pet hides when stressed or scared. In an emergency situation, that is where he or she will most likely be and the first place you should look. Train your dog to come right to you with a simple firm command. Learn how to safely yet firmly scruff your cat to place in a carrier quickly or use a pillow case for a safe, secure temporary way to get your cat out of harm's way.
Litter boxes
Everyone likes a clean bathroom and so does your cat. To ensure your cat uses his or her litter box, scoop it daily. Place the litter box in a quiet location but not too out of the way for your cat to get to conveniently. You may consider having a litter box on each floor of your multi-level home. Experiment until you know your cat's preference for litter, size of box, and location of the box. Often just having more than one litter box option will solve any issues you and your cat may be having. Of course, if your cat routinely eliminates outside the box, please consult your veterinarian.
Driving with pets
The safest place for your pet while you are driving is not in your lap or roaming free about the vehicle. Place your cat into a carrier, put the carrier in the back seat, away from the air bag, and if possible, use the seat belt to secure the carrier. Many dogs love to go on car rides and there are plenty of options to keep your dog safe and secure while enjoying the ride. Your unsecured pet can be injured if you need to stop abruptly or get into an auto crash. Train your dog to sit and stay on the back seat or in the back of a station wagon. Try a seat belt harness or even a special doggie car seat for smaller dogs.
Is your pet's microchip information up to date? If you adopted your pet from an animal shelter, often the microchip registration information will be connected to the shelter. The key to a microchip's effectiveness is making sure your contact information is up to date and connected to your pet's microchip number. To find out your pet's chip number and manufacturer, ask your veterinarian to scan your pet. Once you have that information, you can visit the chip maker's website and update the information. Microchips are permanent form of indemnification that will help your lost pet find its way back home.
Pet license
If you live in Washington or Clackamas County, your pet dog should be licensed with animal services. A license is required even if your dog is always on your property, always indoors, or lives on a farm. Dogs are required by law to wear their metal license tags whenever they're off your property. Your dog's license serves as another form of identification that will enable animal services officers to quickly reunite you with your pet. In fact, last year Washington County reunited over 1,100 stray dogs with their owners. Check with your local county animal shelter for details on how you can get your dog licensed.
Pet accidents
Nobody likes it when their pet has an accident inside the house. Sometimes it may be your pet was over excited, stressed, or access to the litter box was blocked. You will want to clean up the mess in a way to discourage repeat offenses. Regular carpet cleaners just mask the smell. Your goal should be to clean it up so you don't see the stain and the urine odor is completely neutralized, especially for to the sensitive nose of your pet. I suggest using an enzyme cleaner to get to the root of the stain. Enzyme cleaners treat stains and odors simultaneously on a variety of surfaces. They don't mask the smell, they neutralize it. If your pet continues to pee inappropriately, it could also be a sign something is wrong. Please make sure to check with your pet's veterinarian.
Bad pet behavior
Often the behavior we find undesirable is just natural instinct for our pet. And the solution is to change our expectations and gently redirect the behavior. Remember, your pet is an animal. Cats need to scratch. It allows them to mark a territory, clean their claws, and stretch. Provide appropriate scratch posts and gently train your cat to use them. Dogs instinctively protect their territory from threats, be that a burglar or your friend. You can reduce this aggressive instinct by having your dog neutered, train your dog on proper manners when meeting a stranger, and advise visitors how to greet your dog correctly. Knowing the instinct driving the behavior can help you better train or redirect undesirable behaviors in your pet.
Pets as gifts
Giving pets as a gift can be a wonderful thing, if done correctly. Here's how:
Give a gift certificate for adoption from your local animal shelter then you can spend time picking out the correct pet
Wrap a box full of pet supplies to put under the tree or to give as the gift, then involve the recipient in picking the right pet
As a family, visit the shelter so everyone has a chance to find your family's new member
No curling ribbon
Avoid using curling ribbon on gifts. Cats love to eat it. It can cause some sever damage to their GI tracts - cutting the intestines or causing a blockage, which could mean surgery.
Would it shock you that 13 percent of owned cats and 22 percent of owned dogs are not fixed?
Thank you Dr. Kathryn Utsey, from Crossroads Veterinary Hospital
It can be hard to stick to your New Year resolutions. If your resolution benefit your pet, would you be more likely to keep it?
In 2009, the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit discovered that 28.4 percent of smokers who participated in an online survey (3,300 people) indicated they were more motivated to quit smoking after learning second hand smoke was bad for their pet's health.
Here are some ways your pet will benefit from you sticking to your resolutions:
Stop smoking: your pet no only breaths in the secondhand smoke, they lick it off their fur—- get a double dose of toxins. Asthma, cancer, tumors, and shorten life span are the risks of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Exercise you and your pet: Over 50 percent of pets are overweight or obese. The formula for weight loss in your dog or cat is similar to what all the diet experts preach: reduce calories and increase activity.
Cleaning out cabinets: Watch where where you dispose of old cleaners and expired medicines. Many are highly toxic to your pet. Replace those chemical cleaners with some that are natural and pet-friendly. You may even save some money.
Watch the show
More than half of you will be getting your pet a gift for Christmas with most of you also hanging up a stocking for your dog or cat.

There are those who enjoy hunting. And then there are the relentless, driven, obsessed folks RainGuard HD is intended for. It's this simple: condensation from your breath or the elements will not cost you a view or a shot if your lenses are treated with our patented RainGuard HD coating.
To create the ultimate hunting optics, we knew we had to develop a solution to the fogged lens. We perfected this technology, and you'll only find it on select Bushnell optics.
RainGuard HD is a patented, permanent, hydrophobic, oleophobic lens coating that causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet and your breath to instantly bead-up into smaller droplets and scatter. These tiny droplets divert dramatically less light and keep your view bright and clear when an untreated lens would be rendered useless.
Conversely, you will find a few imitators, some that require periodic reapplication. They work sometimes, or not at all. Absolute surety at the moment of truth is what RainGuard HD is all about. And nothing else even comes close.
Without RainGuard HD, moisture spreads across the porous lens and obscures the view.
With RainGuard HD, moisture on the lens beads up and scatters less light for a clear field of view.

Waters calls that "the shortest pitch ever." As the writer, director and "filth elder" responsible for goodhearted, bad-taste movies such as 1972's "Pink Flamingos" and 1994's "Serial Mom," he knows about pitches, although there probably have been shorter ones. »Read Full Article
Historian writes of same-sex marriage in 19th century
In a year when same-sex marriages are being recognized, unrecognized and rerecognized in courtrooms around the country, historian Rachel Hope Cleves flies us back in time two centuries to a remarkable couple.
Charity Bryant (1777-1851) and Sylvia Drake (1784-1868) lived together for decades in a small Vermont town in a relationship described by people who knew them as a marriage. While their union was without benefit of clerical or state sanction, it met the eye test for their community. A man from a neighboring village wrote in his memoir that he always heard "it mentioned as if Miss Bryant and Miss Drake were married to each other," Cleves reports. »Read Full Article(1)
Alan Furst continues spy game with 'Midnight in Europe'
Heroes in Alan Furst's spy novels make their decisions with equal parts idealism, pragmatism and, for lack of a better word, principle.

3 top candidates for Song of the Summer
Before summer even began last year, the battle for Billboard Song of the Summer had already boiled down to a two-track race. Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" looked to be the early favorite, with Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" building momentum.
Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" became a contender, but in the end it was "Lines," just as Jeremy Schulz, a.k.a. radio host Cousin Ed on hits station WNRG-FM (106.9), had predicted this time last year.

Panel weighs cost as factor in sentencingThe Associated Press | January 26,2013MONTPELIER A Senate committee heard testimony Friday on a bill that would require judges to consider the expected financial costs before imposing possible sentences.
Under the bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Corrections Department would develop a database that would be available to the courts listing the costs of individual sentences.
The head of the states attorneys association and the defender general testified Friday that they welcomed more information about the costs of sentences, but they disagreed about whether to mandate that judges consider it.
We dont have a problem with financial costs being treated as relevant information, relative evidence in sentencing, in certain sentencing. We do have a problem with it being one of the criteria for sentencing, said Bram Kranichfeld, executive director of the Department of States Attorneys and Sheriffs Association. Kranichfeld said that requiring a consideration of the financial cost to be part of the sentencing criteria could result in unfair sentences.
Of the 14 states attorneys in Vermont, nine weighed in and were opposed to the proposal.
Kranichfeld argued that such a consideration would be litigated in court, using up court resources.
But Defender General Matthew Valerio told the committee that such litigation likely wouldnt happen. Most cases result in plea agreements, which means that both sides agree to the sentences, he said.
I dont think that its an inappropriate thing for cost, in todays day and age, to be part of a consideration. Its what judges do all the time. They take in evidence, they listen, they weigh whats most important, whats least important, and they make a decision, he said. And he said he believed that financial considerations would not be high on the list of factors considered by a judge in sentencing, including public safety and the likelihood of rehabilitation.
Sponsor Sen. Tim Ashe said the bill doesnt bind judges to make decisions based on financial costs.
But it makes sure that theyre making the best decision in their judgment considering in an evolving world where we now appreciate that early intervention, particularly on substance abuse, is the most effective thing that we can do, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Senate votes to move ahead on Leahy-sponsored billBy EDWARD DONGA
Correspondent | February 05,2013WASHINGTON — The Senate voted overwhelmingly, 85-8, Monday evening to move ahead on a bill to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act — a measure authored by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy.
The Violence Against Women Act – VAWA -- was first passed into law in 1994, and has been reauthorized twice since. But the last reauthorization expired more than a year ago, and the legislation has since been caught in a standoff between differing versions approved by the
Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-majority House of Representatives.
But Monday's Senate vote -- which gave the green light to beginning debate on the bill itself – attracted the support of not only every member of the Democratic majority who was present, but also more than two-thirds of Senate Republicans as well.
Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, a Republican conservative, helped Leahy to obtain bipartisan support for the measure. The 85 votes in favor of the motion to proceed to the bill – including 53 Democrats and 32 Republicans -- were well in excess of the 60 vote supermajority needed in such cases. It foreshadows swift passage of the legislation itself in the Senate, perhaps as early as the end of this week.
The Violence Against Women Act provides communities with resources to combat acts of domestic violence and to protect and aid victims of such acts. Advocates of the law point to the decrease in such violence as evidence of its success. "The annual incidence of domestic violence has dropped more than 50 percent [since 1994]," Leahy said in remarks on the Senate floor.
However, House Republican conservatives took issue with three new provisions in last year's Senate-passed bill. These involved extending protection under the law to illegal immigrants, same-sex couples, and Native Americans.
The bill passed Monday in the Senate does modify the provisions of last year's legislation with regard to illegal immigrants. House Republicans objected to the prior Senate proposal on constitutional grounds, arguing that bill's language would increase the number of visas granted to illegal immigrants who were victims of domestic abuse.
This would affect revenue, and therefore violated the clause of the U.S. Constitution that all bills that raise revenue must originate in the House, they contended.
Said Leahy, "We removed it from the bill this year to take away that technical excuse and expedite action on the bill."
Leahy did pledge, however, to address the subject when immigration reform legislation is debated by Congress later this year.

A Denver man put every other guy to shame recently, proposing to his girlfriend using 8,000 Post-it Notes.
Brett Beutler of Littleton wrote "I love you" on each of the little three-by-three-inch squares of paper and wallpapered them to the wall of girlfriend Megan Loosli's front room, Denver TV station KUSA reported.
He then spelled out "Will you marry me?" by pasting brightly-colored sticky notes over the top.
Beutler's father helped him with the time-consuming project, which had to be done before Loosli got home from work. They used a chair to wallpaper right up to the ceiling and took great care to work around windows and other room features, according to The Daily Mail.
Thankfully, the hard work paid off.
Loosli said "yes." No wedding date has yet been set.

Originally, shapewear for women consisted of only the corset. Corsets were similar to shapewear in that they were designed to mold and shape the torso to make it more appealing to look at or to give added support for medical purposes. This type of original shapewear was common in the 1800's and generally featured some kind of boning to support the shape. This original shapewear was held together at the back with lacing or hooks.
Modern shapewear for women has a far more sophisticated construction while remaining lightweight and easy to wear. Most modern shapewear is made from some type of hosiery, woven with support panels that control the bumpy effect of a woman's body. Shapewear uses compression to create the desired shape. It is also concerned with more than just the shaping of the waist. In this day and age, it is common to find shapewear that compresses nearly the entire body, from the thighs to the waist to the bottom to the tummy. Women love shapewear in current times because it allows them to wear their favorite lightweight and clingy fabrics knowing that they look great from the outside. At Freshpair, we carry shapewear in several different categories, including:
Each type of shapewear targets a different region of a woman's body in order to make her look and feel as beautiful as possible. Some of the most popular shapewear brands are Spanx (one of Oprah's favorites and a brand that she keeps on her O-List for all time), Barely There, Body Wrap, and Sassybax. Each of these brands creates unique shapewear styles and different women find they want different things when seeking out their shapewear brand of choice.
Some popular areas women target when they look for shapewear is the tummy region and the thighs and bottom. Spanx makes great shapewear products for all of these areas. The most popular shapewear product we have at Freshpair is the Spanx Power Panties with Tummy Control. These target the tummy lightly and give the thighs and bottom a good amount of slimming. Another very popular shapewear product from Spanx is the Spanx Higher Power with Tummy Control, which extends further up the midriff to offer even more support in the midsection. Women seeking just tummy control with the least amount of fabric look for shapewear pieces like the ASSETS Red Hot Label Core Controller Panty or the Spanx Slimmer and Shine Hip Nipper Brief. Both offer tummy control in a look that is only as big as a high-waisted panty.
Women looking for a more full slimming solution in their shapewear are fond of the Spanx Slim Cognito Shaping Mid-Thigh Bodysuit, which goes all the from the mid-thigh to the bra area and hooks around a woman's bra of choice to stay up. The Spanx Super High Footless Shaper Pantyhose is another shapewear product that's extremely popular because it acts as a legging but with the support of pantyhose and leaves the feet free to flaunt open-toed shoes.
