(PHILADELPHIA) – Doctors should consider the use of narrative -- in the form of patient stories and testimonials -- as a powerful tool for translating and communicating evidence-based policies to the public to buoy buy-in on important health issues such as cancer screenings and vaccination mandates, according to two physicians from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania writing this week in JAMA. They suggest two strategies: The use of so-called "counternarratives," which can play a role in neutralizing personal stories – often promoted by celebrities via the news media -- that support disproven theories, and narratives about the process of scientific study and discovery, to unmask the often hidden work of researchers and guidelines committees.
The role of narrative in medicine rose up this fall, when both Rudy Giuliani and Joe Torre spoke out against the new U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations against routine prostate cancer screening for healthy men. Giuliani and Torre, both high-profile prostate cancer survivors, claimed the prostate-specific antigen (PSA test) "saved their lives," and that moving away from routine screening would imperil the lives of millions of men. The physicians working to educate the public about the science behind the new recommendations struggled to control the discussion in the face of these emotional, fear-based appeals.
"As physicians, we use narratives all the time to communicate information so our patients can make the best possible individual health decisions. Why should we stop at the facts and figures when it comes to translating and communicating medical science? " asks lead author Zachary Meisel, MD, MPH, MS, an assistant professor of Emergency Medicine and a senior fellow in the Leonard Davis Institute of Economics. "Just like we use stories to help patients make sense of illnesses, we can use stories to help people truly understand medical science and science policy."
In a commentary published in the November 9 issue of JAMA, Meisel and Jason Karlawish, MD, a professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics and a senior fellow in the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, outline their ideas about how physicians can themselves incorporate narrative into the promotion of new evidence-based health care information. Their recommendations – suggesting a close link between data and personal stories that bring it to life -- have broad implications for the way in which medical experts communicate about new study results, FDA decisions, and new guidelines such as the option to wait until age 50 for routing screening mammograms.
"Scientific reports are genuinely dispassionate, characterless, and ahistorical," they write. "But their translation and dissemination should not be. Stories are an essential part of how individuals understand and use evidence." Just as the media often uses the personal experiences of patients to put a face on new medical research in their reports, the authors suggest physicians themselves should employ this strategy in a way that buoys the credibility of otherwise dry or confusing statistics – especially when they anticipate new science or guidelines will prompt confusion or negative reactions from the public.
Claims questioning vaccine safety, for example, are an area where the authors believe counternarratives would add substantial weight to evidence produced via rigorous scientific study. Actress Jenny McCarthy's public proclamation that she does not need studies to prove that the MMR vaccine caused her son's autism because her "son is her science," for instance, could have been be abutted by counternarratives such as a story from parents whose infant, too young to be vaccinated against measles himself, became sick after exposure to an unvaccinated child. And to Michele Bachmann's recent televised comments about a woman who, she said, told her that the HPV vaccine caused her daughter to become "mentally retarded," physicians may have been able to work with women who developed cervical cancer following HPV infection – which is estimated to infect as many as 80 percent of sexually active Americans at some point in their lives – to add their voices to the public discussion and play a role in de-stigmatizing the vaccine.
Shedding light on the process of scientific discovery and the creation of guidelines can also be valuable tool in helping the public have faith in the work physicians do in the interest of health promotion. Since, as in the case of the U.S Preventive Screen Task Force's newest recommendations on screening mammography for breast cancer detection, the process of developing guidelines is often fraught – with disagreement among experts, political pressures and gaps in data – the public would likely benefit from hearing stories about how science evolves, and the difficulties experts often face in making decisions that are best for the population as a whole.
Narratives have a place not only in illuminating science's successes, but also its disappointments, as in the case of the failed promise of the drug Avastin, which the FDA recently ruled could not be approved for use in breast cancer treatment since it failed to prove its efficacy and was, in fact, associated with serious side effects, including death. "Real and personal narratives can be told that embody, with characters and action, the evidence of a risky intervention," the authors write. "The public needs to hear the stories of patients, and their families, who encountered a drug that offered hope but was ultimately ineffective and even dangerous."
In addition to their work as physicians and researchers, Meisel and Karlawish are also themselves storytellers: Meisel writes Time.com's "Medical Insider" column and Karlawish is the author of, most recently, the historical novel "Open Wound: The Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beaumont."

Before entering into a Denver Drug Rehabilitation and Alcohol Treatment Program, many individuals who have an addiction to drugs or alcohol find that they are unable to quit using on their own. Often times, they become discouraged by their inability to remain strong and resist cravings that they experience while trying to get clean. Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities in Denver provide those who have a drug addiction the stability and professional relapse prevention skills they need to help them on their path to recovery.
What do you learn about relapse prevention while in Denver Alcohol Rehabilitation and Drug Rehab Programs? Drug Rehabilitation and Alcohol Rehab Program Relapse Prevention Tips:
Exercise: It sounds simple, and it is. It is proven to work for people who are quitting smoking and smoking is one of the strongest addictions there are. Take a walk around the block or do some other simple exercise.
Socialize: With NEW people! Going back to the people you hung out with to do drugs is almost certainly going to lead you to a relapse. Go to some public events and meet some new people.
Change your environment: This can take on several different levels. You can start by rearranging your furniture and fixing the place up. You also need to change the environment where you spend a lot of time. Don't go back to the old places where the urge to do drugs may be too strong. Try going to some new places and doing new things. Go to a ballgame or to a museum or even a movie.
Minimize Boredom: Boredom is never a good thing. Chances are, if you get bored, it will increase the chances that you will get an urge for drugs. Take up doing crossword puzzles or other games, for example. Keeping yourself busy will help prevent drug addiction relapse.
Eat Better: No one expects you to change every aspect of your diet. It would be wise to throw in a few more fruits and vegetables. Maybe you could drink a couple more glasses of water a day. You may be amazed at how good it can make you feel.
Get Close to People: No need to go out on a hug-fest but let people in. Build strong and healthy relationships with people who are not drug addicts.
Get a Mentor: They help you through the rough times and they understand what you are going through. They can be real lifesavers when the urges for drugs or alcohol become overwhelming.
Believe in yourself: Poor self-esteem may very well be what leads people into drug addiction in the first place. Have faith in yourself and don't put yourself down. You are on the right road and doing the right thing.
It is often a very difficult undertaking choosing a Drug Rehab and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program in Denver for you or someone you love. You or your loved one is in crisis, and you must act quickly.

First, I wear a 12W (wide) in "dress" shoes and a 12D (medium) in this shoe is plenty wide. It's an awesome shoe and I've also had it in cotton twill. I think the slightly added width give your toes a little more wiggle room as the shoes are not designed to fit snug like a regular shoe. I wouldn't size up or down. Order your normal "dress" (not athletic) shoe size. I want more!

PRSSA chapter receives Star Chapter recognition
Ohio Northern University's Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) received a Star Chapter Award at the 2012 PRSSA National Conference in San Francisco Oct. 12-19.
The Star Chapter Award recognizes a chapter that meets eight of 10 requirements set by PRSSA: initiate and complete at least one community service project; strengthen your relationship with your PRSA sponsor chapter; give attention to ethics in at least one chapter meeting; confirm that at least one chapter member applies for an individual national PRSSA scholarship or award; confirm that your chapter applied for at least one national PRSSA award; implement at least one national initiative; confirm attendance by at least one chapter member at National Conference, National Assembly, a regional activity or leadership rally; gain positive attention for your chapter in at least one campus or community publication or media; extend an invitation to students/faculty from other disciplines to attend at least one chapter meeting; and confirm that at least 10 percent of your graduating seniors applied for PRSA associate membership.
"Of course I'm proud and excited for our PRSSA chapter," said Alisa Agozzino, assistant professor of communication arts and ONU PRSSA chapter adviser. "We've been honored with this prestigious award in each of the six years I've been at ONU. It is almost a tradition now for the students, and no class wants to be the one to drop the ball. I love that it gives the chapter a target to aim for, and a commitment to being better than the class before."
ONU has 20 members in its PRSSA chapter and continues to gain professional experience through this student organization.

The University of Hawaii's enrollment for fall 2013 is slightly down, following five years of record-breaking numbers.
Opening enrollment for the fall semester is 59,288, a slight decline of 1,345 students, or 2.2 percent, compared with fall 2012, the university said.
Since 2007, UH enrollment has grown by 17 percent.
The UH System's newest campus, UH West Oahu, saw its enrollment significantly increase to 2,403 students, the largest numerical and percentage gain with 380 students for an 18.8 percent increase.
Windward Community College reported a 2.2 percent increase with 62 students for a total enrollment of 2,840.
Kauai Community College also posted a gain of 1.3 percent with 19 students for a total enrollment of 1,531.
However, UH Manoa's enrollment slightly declined by 2 percent or 408 students for a total enrollment of 19,912.
UH Hilo posted a 3.3 percent drop of 138 students for a total enrollment of 4,034.
The dip in enrollment follows recent national trends. The U.S. Census Bureau released statistics this month that show college enrollment in fall 2012 plunged by half a million, or 476,000, across the country compared to fall 2011.
The Census Bureau said the decline follows a period of substantial growth – 3.2 million – between 2006 and 2011.
The decline in college enrollment was driven by students 25 years and older, according to the Census Bureau.
"Enrollment in higher education typically runs counter to economic growth. Students often leave college when the economy provides more jobs. This is particularly true of the community college students," said Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Linda Johnsrud.
Overall, UH Community Colleges saw a 3.5 percent decrease in enrollment with 1,179 students for a total enrollment of 32,939.

The School Library Profiles developed by the Library Research Service are meant to be used as a comparative tool for school libraries in Colorado. The results represent data received from school libraries that completed the 2008 Colorado School Library Survey. Profiles for each participating school compare individual school data with averages for schools with similar grade level and enrollment ranges. Please note that since all data were derived from responses to the survey, schools that did not respond to the survey are not represented in the Profiles.
Use the school locator (below) to find the school for which you would like to see the 2008-2009 School Library Profile. Remember, schools that did not respond to the 2008 Colorado School Library Survey will not be represented in the Profiles.
Please Note: Starting with the 2008-09 profiles, we are using medians instead of averages for the comparison groups. Medians represent the school in the middle of each statistic - i.e., there are equal numbers of schools above and below the median. For this reason, we felt this was more representative of the "typical" school than average, which can be more strongly influenced by outliers.

I was just wondering what settings you guys have on 2K10 when it comes to the settings for the fouls.
When I first got ther game I put the sliders onto 50 for all of the fouls, shooting,reach in etc. but I have noticed that putting them on fifty means that hardly any fouls are made. This makes the game a little unrealistic and means that it`s really hard to make any substitutions during the game.
What do you put the sliders onto when it comes to the fouls so that the game is more realistic. I`d love to hear your thoughts.
Many thanks.

Those are my sliders for NBA 2K10, if you need signature shots changes let me know. For instance I changed Gallinari's shot to Kaman sig shot, Chandler's shot to Alexander, Joe Johnson to J. Bayless. I also made Hughes 6'3 instead of 6'5 and drop his weight to 160 lbs (the guy is pretty thing in real life). I made Nate much more heavier since he looks so thin in the game, I added his weight up to 220 lbs.And of course I made Curry drop 60 lbs in the game and place a headband.
Pictures of Game I played today Knicks @ Pacers!

Wow thanks for all the information, I'll use it all.
I thought that you could not edit the player's appearances but only their attributes?
I would like to change up Curry and Hughes.
And last night I changed the gameplay sliders and got alot more realistic fouls so thanks for that.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Has your game been updated with the patch/game update that fixed most of the bugs the game had when it came out. Man if you haven't connect your console with xbox live or plug a line cable from your system ps3 into your modem to get the patch which is incredible. Also their is jersey code to unlock the Blazers "Rip City", Mavericks New Secondary, Atlanta's New aternate "ATL" Red jerseys, etc.
The patch is great it`s made such a difference.
Here are my trades as the Knicks for my season so far.
Eddy Curry to the Thunder for Kyle Weaver. Lol !
Jared Jeffries to the Nuggets for JR Smith.
Nate Robinson to the Hawks for Al Horford.
I`m delighted to get rid of Curry and Jeffries.
My starting line up is:
JR Smith
What do you guys think of my trades and starting line up. For some fun why not post your trades and starting line ups?

Yes, EVEN if it involves trading Lee or Gallinari.
No, the Knicks have a 2011 pick. They should focus on the 2010 free agency.
Yes, but NOT if it involves trading Lee or Gallinari.

All I know is we better come out with some intensity.. After these last two ass rapings we received we better take care of "Lesser" competition
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
I can't wait to watch these two very exciting teams face off against eachother tomorrow.
This game is gonna be the start of a 6 game stretch where the Knicks will be going up against teams that are on our level or worse. In the next six games we will be going up against Minnesota(9-36) twice, Washington(14-29) twice, Toronto(23-22), and Milwaukee(18-24).
To get back on the winning track, we have to defeat these type of teams. The Knicks have a big advantage since 4 out of the 6 games will be played at home. If we win less than 4 games in this 6 game stretch, then we shouldn't be considered for the playoffs.
It all starts with tomorrows game. We gotta come out strong and decisive against this weak minnesota team. Which means sit down du-horrible and start Nate. I would rather play an injured Nate then a healthy duhomo any day of the century.
Let's GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solid game thread, BTW.
Great thread, ABCD. And that was a sick massacre you executed on GayBlack and his girlfriends.
DPRYDE's depleted colon. GAYBLACK wants to be "down with the brown." Once again, KKKnicksonline's best fans got owned.
I didn't even get to participate. I was busy living life. You had the ether, though. Good sh!t.
Good thread ABCD, even though im not the biggest Starbury fan, those videos he got are always funny lol. If we lose to Minnesota theres gonna be a real problem. This team blows. But sadly we've been playing like we did during that 1-9 stretch. We CANNOT play down to their level. Supposedly Chandler is injured a little bit, hopefully his play is not affected.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

So Hashirama is automatically on the list... BM Naruto also, Obito also, Minato also (uses ftg to land a hit)..... All the first 4 hokages.
The only one that COULD stop me. He is referring to back then. Info agree about the 4 Hokages, they all would land a hit, maybe not Tobirama because we have very little knowledge in his abilities.

this is just pathetic. you madara fanboys preach about "herp derp nope, madaras talking about the past". madara said that when he was at the peak of his power and he meant that hashirama beat him when he was at the height of his power(perfect susano).
well is it Edo-Madara or the living one?

Mental damage can hurt to, no fap material.
same thing that i have in mind
m not really sure, at this state if anyone exist that could be able to put damage on him. but i wonder if he could escape the other dimension whith kamui casted upon him.

you really think madara can take down all the akatsuki's down at the same time.... how naive,....
let me remind u who are there in akatsuki:
6 paths of pain-
obviously we know they are powerful. can absorb all ninjutsu.. can repel all attacks do summonings etc. but they are vunerable to genjustu so they are not so stupid to just stand the can stop madara from doing any genjutsu or anything.
not much to tell about her.. i mean as long as she has chakra she cant die she will just turn into paper... her paperbombs were surely very effective... she was the 1st person to damage tobi...
immortal guy... and if he gets blood of madara.. then just great
he is 5 in 1 guy.. a formidable opponent
he knows all about madara.. even has great genjutsu and can block susanoo and with tosuka sword...
the tail less tailed beast... can create an oceans with 1000 maneating sharks...
the white ones will take in the akatsuki member's chakra and then will transform into them making 100 itachi, 100 kisame, etc etc...
used puppets to bring down a nation... impressive feat...
performance of a hundred puppets
art is explosion.... bang!!
land mines and ariel attack... ah... and C4 karura... turns everything to just.... never seen madara using lightning element... so he may not render those microscopic bombs useless....
I am sure now you may be convinced that AKATSUKI f*cks Madara.... :flaw::flaw:

now this is a pain in ass... madara fanny swarmin up.... didnt you read what i just posted above your post...
if they teamed up they could take over the world
Team asuma shadow with mindcontrol same way used against gold and silver brothers
itachi and kisame(with samehada) yata mirror defends against all madara's attacks and samaheda eats enought chakra to allow sealing sword to permanetly seal madara
since i have heard some interesting combination i will put 3 out there
hashirama with kotoamatsukami :D
and or sasuke and naruto in their current forms.
nd i edit for this orochimaru uses the death god seal on madara when he refuses to teach him immortality and join his sensei and all previous hokage and one half of the nine tail in the gods stomach lol

minor damage Naruto, Itachi, Sasuke
Edo Madara?
Right now, no one
The guy has Mokuton (strong clones as well), summoned 2 meteors, Perfect Susano, Rinnegan, Ems,is an Edo, has his fan back and blocked a mini bijuudama with it and destroyed the 5 Kage. Come on guys theres no one with feats who could even hurt him
Some one other than Madara is about to get super strong though, id love it to be Sasuke
Madara has been damaged multiple times by kage I would've been by now if he wasn't an Edo
Retarded thread. Only Hinata can harm Madara now. AND HERE'S MY PROOF:
Hinata>Madara. It doesn't get any more clear than that.
No respect for the OP at all.
I have something to say and that is why dont u go suck madara's D I C K? if he was real u wouldnt mid becoming gay even if ur straight and suck it right?
the nine jinchuurikis with ems sasuke edo itachi all the kages and the dead ones too and a healthy nagato they will do more than damage to madara

Nap Nanny Generation Two model
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In an effort to prevent children from suffering further harm, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff filed an administrative complaint[Complaint] [List and Summary of Documentary Evidence]today against Baby Matters, LLC, of Berwyn, Pa., the manufacturer of Nap Nanny® and Nap Nanny Chill™ infant recliners.
The complaint alleges that the Nap Nanny Generation One and Two, and Chill model infant recliners contain defects in the design, warnings and instructions, which pose a substantial risk of injury and death to infants. The Commission voted 3-0 to approve the filing of the complaint, which seeks an order requiring that the firm notify the public of the defect and offer consumers a full refund.
CPSC is aware of four infants who died in Nap Nanny Generation Two recliners and a fifth death involved the Chill model.
To date, CPSC has received a total of over 70 additional incident reports of children nearly falling out of the product. The staff alleges that the products create a substantial risk of injury to the public.
CPSC staff filed the administrative complaint against Baby Matters, LLC after discussions with the company and its representatives failed to result in an adequate voluntary recall plan that would address the hazard posed by consumer use of the product in a crib or without the harness straps being securely fastened.
In July 2010, CPSC and Baby Matters, LLC issued a joint recall news release to announce an $80 coupon to Generation One owners toward the purchase of a newer model and improved instructions and warnings to consumers who owned the Generation Two model of Nap Nanny recliners.
At the time of the July 2010 recall, CPSC was aware of one death that had occurred in a Nap Nanny recliner and 22 reports of infants hanging or falling out over the side of the Nap Nanny even though most of the infants had been placed in the harness. Subsequently, despite the improvements to the warnings and instructions, the complaint alleges that additional deaths using Nap Nanny recliners have been reported, including one in a Chill model.
The Nap Nanny is a portable infant recliner designed for sleeping, resting and playing. The recliner includes a shaped foam base with an inclined indentation for the baby to sit and a fitted fabric cover with a three point harness. Five thousand Nap Nanny Generation One and 50,000 Generation Two models were sold between 2009 and early 2012 and have been discontinued. One hundred thousand Chill models have been sold since January 2011. All were priced around $130.
Commissioner Statement:
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at

The way movies and TV shows casually represent a character's sex life can be wildly misleading. If this fake person represents a distillation of life and its many ups and downs, then his or her relationships and sex life are a reflection of the things average people do. That's the theory, anyway. In reality, you'd have to be a modern day John Holmes, slinging dick so often that it becomes as involuntary as blinking your eyes.
But when you look at the statistics, people just aren't doing that in real life. For example, statistically speaking, not many people are having ...
Universal Studios
The term "rebound sex" is ubiquitous throughout all kinds of movies and shows. It was the central plot of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In When Harry Met Sally, Sally is annoyed when Harry bounces from one girl to the next in the wake of a breakup. On TV, you can see it in pretty much every sitcom that features quirky 20-something friends. A character is going through a tough breakup, but the wacky and/or overweight best friend is urging him to knight up and crotch joust, because in Hollywood, the only cure for post-breakup depression is to ejaculate your sadness into a one-episode extra.
20th Century Fox Television
Her SAG credit actually lists her character as "Melancholy Cum Receptacle."
The premise is used so often that it's impossible to not exist in real life. There can't be that many writers just pulling those scenes out of their ass, right? Science, please tell me that all the scripted movies and shows I watch too much of aren't full of lies!
Well, shit. It turns out that rebound sex is actually "uncommon after a breakup," according to researchers who probably used their findings to prove to their friends that they're fine, no really, they're fine. They don't need to "get back in the game," because that's not a thing. At least not to average people who don't regularly learn valuable life lessons via montage.
Lindsay L. Barber
By my estimation, these graph lines appear to be doin' it cowgirl style.
People who just got out of a serious relationship aren't concerned with getting laid; they're too busy thinking they are sex-repelling garbage. Women tend to be more willing to move on to a new relationship in the long run, whereas after a while men tend to look up taxidermists with negotiable morals who will mount their retired penises on a wall for display purposes only.
This isn't to say that rebound sex doesn't achieve what we intend. It actually does help people move on from heartbreak. So if you ever have rebound sex, be sure to kindly thank your six-spoken-lines date before you kick them out of your bed forever. Just don't skimp on the cameras or lighting budget. You'll regret it during editing.
3 Tons of Sexual Partners
20th Century Fox Television
Scrubs, Seinfeld, How I Met Your Mother, Friends -- everybody on those shows is getting laid way, way more than the real-life averages indicate. As we've talked about before, George Costanza from Seinfeld is a woefully pathetic schlub of a man ... who has had sex with so many women that if his penis were a Pakistani train it would look like this:
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
On Friends, the lowest number of partners among the guys goes to Chandler with 10, and among the girls it's Monica with 14. Phoebe had sex with 32 guys, and Joey had sex with 51 girls. In Ted's quest to find a wife on How I Met Your Mother, he's had sex with anywhere between 20 and 31 women.
What that means is that there are people out there who enjoy tallying the exploits of fictional genitals. But more to the point, it's truly a wonder that there wasn't an episode once a season where Joey, George, Ted, Barney, or Phoebe had to call all past sexual partners and tell them that they might be the reason their diseased junk looks like a Walking Dead zombie's mouth.
AMC Studios
"Don't worry. Some penicillin and a shotgun will clear that right up."
In real life, men ages 25 to 44 -- the age group of pretty much every sitcom character -- average around six sexual partners. Women of that same age group average four. Over a lifetime, only 21 percent of men and 9 percent of women have had more than 15 sexual partners.
You may think you're watching a show about a group of funny, wacky friends, but what you're really watching are people who have hit the sexual jackpot yet bitch and moan about their sex lives for 20-plus weeks a year, for upwards of a decade. They are 1 percenters complaining about an import tax hike on Bulgarian diamond-studded caviar while the rest of us are lucky if we can afford the McDonald's dollar menu. (I'll take mine with extra nipples, thank you very much.)

News Detail
December First Friday Lecture Looks Back at Second Vatican Council
Fr. William Graf, Chair of the Religious Studies Department and the William and Helen Cavanaugh Chair of Catholic Studies, will present "50 Years After Vatican II: A Look Back at the Convening of the Second Vatican Council" for the First Friday Lecture on December 6. The lecture will take place in Coleman Chapel in Murphy Hall at 10:00 a.m., and will include a 9:00 a.m. mass, followed by breakfast.
To understand the exciting times of the Second Vatican Council (October 1962-December 1965), Graf will briefly explore its origins and the turbulent sessions that took place over three years. Why would a 77-year-old Pope want to call an ecumenical council? Why would the Curia want to question any possible changes? The last five Popes (John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI) played a role during those sessions; while Pope Francis was not yet ordained a priest.
Graf is a priest of the Diocese of Rochester who first came to Fisher in January 1982 on a part-time basis. Aside from teaching, he has also served on a variety of committees including the Academic Standing Committee and the Catholic Heritage sub-committee of the College's Board of Trustees. As a priest of the Diocese of Rochester, he has been the Coordinator of the Priestly Life and Ministry Committee and served as a psychological consultant for the Marriage Tribunal. In recent months, he has given a variety of presentations locally and abroad in Ireland. His years in the classroom, as well as 53 years in parish ministry, allowed him the opportunity to witness the theory and practice of the various documents that flowed from the exciting times of Vatican II.
The First Friday Lecture Series is designed for individuals who are interested in hearing learned perspectives on a variety of topics from members of the St. John Fisher College community.
Parking is available in Lot X and V near Murphy Hall. For more information about the lecture series or to register for the lecture, please call (585) 385-7350 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Massachusetts named Race to the Top Finalist U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan today picked Massachusetts as one of 19 finalists to compete in the interview portion of the Race to the Top Round Two competition. That means each state will assemble a group of five people to come to Washington the week of August 9 to make their final appeals for a portion of the $3.4 billion in federal money still remaining. The finalists, which beat out 17 other states that applied in the second round, are: Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. The winners will be announced in late August or early September and will share the remaining Race to the Top funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The MTA's Board of Directors voted on May 24 to support the state's Round Two Race to the Top application and to communicate that support to the organization's local association presidents. Below is a statement by MTA President Paul Toner in response to Massachusetts being picked as a finalist. We are pleased that Massachusetts has been named a finalist for receiving a Race to the Top grant and are hopeful that the state will be named one of the recipients this fall. We believe that the Massachusetts application contains several provisions that address the needs of students in our lowest-performing schools. These include new teacher-developed curriculum and instruction resources, more professional development offerings through Readiness Centers, incentives to encourage experienced teachers to work in hard-to-staff schools, more training for supervisors in how to conduct effective evaluations, more wraparound social services for students in underperforming schools and additional funding to participating districts to implement the changes. On Common Core Standards: We were neutral on the Common Core standards until they had been evaluated by content area experts. That analysis has now been done. Most experts believe the Common Core standards are as good as or better than the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. We therefore support the vote of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to adopt the standards with the understanding that they will be supplemented with additional state standards, as needed, to ensure that Massachusetts students continue to be held to the highest levels of academic achievement. On Educator Evaluations: We believe that the educator evaluation system does need an overhaul. The biggest complaints that educators have about the current system are that evaluations often are not done well, or not done at all, and the results are too rarely used to develop effective improvement plans. We support changes calling for more training for evaluators, more oversight to make sure evaluations are done as required and a focus on using evaluations to improve instruction. We support using multiple measures of student achievement as one way to help determine teacher effectiveness. We oppose using student test-score data to make high-stakes decisions about teachers since there are many social, emotional, cognitive and environmental factors – in addition to teacher effectiveness – that contribute to a student's achievement. We believe that the Massachusetts proposal recognizes the limitations of over-reliance on such test-score data. If it is implemented properly, a new evaluation system as proposed in the state's RTTT application could be beneficial. Mass. DESE announcement. (Includes link to state's application.)

- Cut each taro root into several pieces and beat with an electric mixer until it has the consistency of smooth paste.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Warm the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and jalapenos until very soft but not browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add the egg substitute, salt, carrot, and parsley to the taro paste. Add the onion mixture and combine well.
- Cover a large plate with flour. Scoop about twelve 1/8 th cup balls of the taro mixture onto the plate and dust with flour.
- Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball into a patty about ½ inches thick.
- Lay the patties on a greased cookie sheet.
- Lightly coat the tops of the cakes with cooking spray and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn the patties and bake for 10 minutes more, or until golden brown.

text: Another comment re the breast pump. I had to get a larger cup size for my breasts as my nipples were being sucked too much into the tube on the cup, so I got a larger size, and that made pumping more comfortable. I think from memory, the nipple shouldn't be sucked into the tube too much, if it is, you'll end up with sore nipples.

He had the coach with youth level winning experience in R.C. Shuflin and a handful of players who had some years on the ice. What he needed was to build that team with kids who had toughness—the toughness to withstand the early losses and not give up. To "keep skating" as Shuflin shouts to the players during their games.
Wasatch lost its fifth game of the season Wednesday night at the Park City Ice Arena against Utah County Independent, but only on the scoreboard.
By the end of the third period of the contest, the Wasps looked as though they were ready to play another game. After falling down 10-0 near the middle of the second frame, Wasatch began to come to life.
As though a switch had been turned on, the attackers were suddenly wearing black sweaters and going after the visiting Warriors. With mere seconds remaining in that second period, Johnathan Brosnahan flicked in his first goal of the season off an assist by Giovanna Shannon and another small victory had taken place on the Wasatch bench.
The Wasps may have played their best period of the year in the third, keeping UCI out of the face of their goalie, Mason Hascall and pushing the puck up the ice and threatening to score again and again. Only strong saves made by the Warrior's goalie off the stick of Kaiden Leger kept the Wasps off the scoreboard again.
"It's really been a lot of fun," Brosnahan stated. "We really just focus on getting better each game. We're starting to communicate out there and getting used to each other."
Shuflin, who was without assistant coach Volker Ritzinger, starting wing Cody Ritzinger and defenseman Kelsie Radke, was confident during the game and keeps his players positive. "We just have to keep skating," he said. "I tell them 'Don't give up' and they don't. They play hard. We'll be standing here two years from now winning a lot of these teams."

For a helloween album, man this sucks...from the album cover to the lyrics...a true stinkfest. Although, ive gotta say, some great melodies, here
Written by Lustful Maid on 29.09.2012 at 19:12This album was very much underrated (probably due to the cover, a lot of people like to judge an album by the cover).
I don't compare this album to The Dark Ride as the later was overrated. Master of The Ring is a closer match with RDCE.
This album is out of print for almost 8 years. At the moment in the market, only the Argentina's label Icarus is printing it. Frankly, I dont really like this label, their production is not that good.

Scott Brown scorched TPC Deere Run for a bogey-free 10-under-par 31-30=61 in the third round of the John Deere Classic to take the 54-hole clubhouse lead at 15-under 198.
With only the second birdie of the day at 18, Australia's Sam Brazel completed a 2-under-par 36-32=68 to win the UBS Hong Open by a shot from Rafa Cabrera-Bello.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello saw his three-shot overnight lead disappear as Saturday's even-par 35-35=70 at Fanling left him tied at the top with Sam Brazel through three rounds of the UBS Hong Kong Open.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello styled a superb second round 5-under-par 31-34=65 to open up a three shot lead on the field at the halfway stage of the UBS Hong Kong Open in Fanling.
Rafa Cabrera-Bello's stellar display of ball-striking took him to the top of the round one leaderboard at the UBS Hong Kong Open; his 6-under-par 32-32=64 giving him a one shot advantage over Sebastian Gros, with a pack of ten at 4-under.
Justin Rose admits his preparations for this week's UBS Hong Kong Open aren't ideal but he remains committed to put up a strong defense of the title he won last year.

Overnight co-leader Hideki Matsuyama fashioned a 7-under-par 32-33=65 in the third round of the Hero World Challenge to reach the three-quarter pole on 19-under 197, good for the low round of the day and a seven-shot lead over Henrik Stenson, who carded a 66, and overnight co-leader Dustin Johnson, who doubled the 18th for a 72.
Brandon Stone authored a third-round 6-under-par 31-35=66 in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek on Saturday, extending his one-shot overnight lead to three with 18 holes to play.

Workers comp cheaters must be caught
Stories about people who scam state workers' compensation programs by collecting benefits while they are perfectly able to work are not uncommon. Unfortunately, neither are real-life cases of such crimes.
Some states have effective programs to track down and bring the crooks to justice. The Special Investigations Department in Ohio's Bureau of Workers' Compensation is among them.
During the unit's 20-year history, it has apprehended enough cheats to save the workers' compensation program an estimated $1.5 billion. That's a substantial chunk of change saved for Buckeye State businesses, which pay premiums to provide coverage for their employees. It also is money that helps to ensure workers injured on the job get help.
Here's an example of the cases the SID has handled during the past couple of years:
Last summer, a Crawford County couple, Robin and Randy Hammond, were caught on videotape engaging in their scheme to defraud workers' compensation. Mrs. Hammond claimed to have suffered a workplace injury that made her incapable of using her arms and legs.
Yet SID investigators got tape of her walking around, using both her arms and legs. They also taped her using a wheelchair for a visit to the doctor, then getting out of it after she left. She was convicted of fraud and sentenced to a year in prison. The two were ordered to pay $173,332 in restitution.
Sometimes, the SID gets help from working Ohioans fed up with workers' compensation fraud by people they know. One man used his cell phone to videotape a coworker bragging about faking an injury so he could collect workers' compensation.
Outrageous stories about workers' compensation fraud are more than just anecdotes. Too often, they are true.
Good for the SID for going after the cheaters. If you know of one, call the agency at 1-800-644-6292.

June 21, 2012 —
One would think that I'd know better by now. Once Memorial Day hits, and the summer visitors begin their annual migration to the Upper Delaware valley, the always active world of arts and entertainment here in the Catskills amps up big time... and I hit the ground running. This past week, I found myself busily trying to do it all, with limited success. Thankfully, my community support is firmly in place, and a few kind souls assisted me in my efforts to cover the endless array of events spanning two states and four counties, over the river and through the woods.
With so much on my plate, I hesitate to give short shrift to anyone, so this season I'll be trying something new. Now that The River Reporter (TRR) has an active online presence (www.riverreporteronline.com [2]), I will be posting reviews of concerts and shows to our web site and have the opportunity to produce larger photo albums of the events to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/theriverreporter [3]) as well. If you haven't had an opportunity to visit our internet sources, this would be an ideal time to check out these great pages for daily updates.
Okay then, back to busy. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche must have seen me coming when he declared that "a man who is very busy seldom changes his opinions." As my dance card filled up during the past week, I struggled with making choices (as usual) and looked to Theodore Roosevelt for guidance. "When you are asked if you can do a job" he wrote, "Tell 'em 'certainly I can!' then get busy and find out how to do it." Breathing deeply, I ran to the Forestburgh Playhouse (www.FBplayhouse.org [4]) to catch opening night of "Guys and Dolls." Frank Loessers' musical fable is legendary and with memorable songs like "I'll Know," "Bushel and a Peck," and the show-stopping "Sit down, you're rockin' the boat," I'm grateful to have the online space to give the production my full attention.
The next day, I checked the batteries on my camera and zoomed off to another opening night at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoodscenter.org [5]) to experience country crossover sensation Lady Antebellum, which performed to a sold-out crowd. Again, my review is online, but suffice it to say that opening acts Thompson Square and Darius Rucker built the momentum to fever pitch before the headliners hit the stage with their signature three-part harmony. As it turns out, I had photo issues that night, but got them straightened out by the time I got to the Liberty Museum (www.libertymuseum.com [6]), which is currently hosting a new exhibit of glorious (IMHO) works produced by the artists collective Catskill Artists Gallery (CAG), (www.catskillartistsgallery.com [7]).
In another example of technological growth, CAG is now available on the internet as a "gallery without walls," so this exhibit (running through July 8) is a great opportunity to experience the artwork "old school" style, up close and personal. Nada Clyne, Robert Friedman, Cate Gundlah, Margaret Helthaler, Kathy Jeffers, Tom Keleman, Buff McAllister and Hank Schneider outdid themselves presenting a vast array of jewelry, paintings, sculpture and photography and honestly, I left the museum thoroughly impressed. Although my scheduling conflicts prevented me from making it to the newest exhibit at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg, NY (DVAA, www.artsallinancesite.org [8]) on Friday, rest assured that I will be stopping in during the coming week to peruse Daria Dorosh's "Chairs 1982 - 2010," which promises to be stimulating.
Unable to make it to Domesticities (www.thecuttinggarden.org [9]), I called cub reporter Lucy Jan-Turan, who graciously agreed to swing by Youngsville and report back on proprietor Ann Hart's second annual garden party benefiting the DVAA. My absence (I took home a prize last year) apparently opened the doors for new competitors and Ramona Jan, Sienna Klaber, Morgan Hamilton and Lucy herself (you're welcome!) took home the top honors, parading the lush garden in their summer finery.
While my assistant was busy photographing the hat parade, I was back at Bethel Woods, thrilled to have the opportunity to represent The River Reporter and photograph musical icon Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band. (In a moment, I'll get busy mounting the photos online.) Attending a swell after-party was a bonus, with superb entertainment by Albi Beluli. Good food and great friends capped a terrific evening while still basking in the glow that is Ringo.
A matinee of "The Fantasticks" at the Rivoli (www.scdw.net [10]) occupied my afternoon on Sunday (read all about it on the web), before I headed back to Bethel to chat on-air with radio pals Paul Ciliberto, Michelle Semerano and Mike Sakell (www.thunder102.com [11]) prior to sitting for a moment to experience the 50th anniversary tour of the incomparable Beach Boys live on stage. Suffice it to say that "Good Vibrations" were in abundance, and I'll go into detail on the TRR web site, after a brief pause to catch my breath. Busy? You bet, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

From Crime to Punishment: Criminal Records of Our Ancestors from the 18th and 19th Centuries
The second half of the 18th and the first half of the 19th centuries were characterised by rapid increase in population, urbanisation and impressive industrial growth. It was also a period of rising crime rates and grave concerns about criminality. This podcast takes researchers through the various stages of the criminal justice system of the period and focuses on the various records created, from the commission of a crime, through the court processes and on to the records of punishment. Jeff James is Director of Operations and Services at The National Archives, and has previously worked as Head of Operations at The British Library, in the University sector and as a Submariner in the Royal Navy. Jeff has an MA in History from the University of Hertfordshire and has a particular interest in 18th and 19th century crime and poverty.

So I am 12 weeks pregnant and had the misfortune of getting the flue this past week/weekend. DH did a wonderful job of keeping ds out of the house and allowing me the time to rest and recover as I was basically unable to truly function other than sleep nad use the bathroom. I also wanted to do all I could to not infect them either.
Well Saturday morning I had made to the couch as dh and ds were getting ready to leave for the day. I asked ds if he wanted to nurse and I was not in any way prepared for the answer... "No mommy, I all done with nursing" and he went about his business as if it were nothing. I didn't know which way to turn but started to well-up but were they tears of sadness or happiness?
He did come home that night and I heard him coming up the stairs asking dh where his mommy was. And he fell onto my bed and immediately fell asleep with a smile on his face as he said my mommy! My heart melted.
Last night I was feeling a bit better and when they came home all he wanted to do was nurse, so I guess we are not done, but we are on that road. I am doing my best to get better and at the same time, maintain that cuddle time. This has been a long journey, but thus far it's been one of the most rewarding things I have ever experienced. I will be sad when it's over, but deep down I will know that every step of it was cherished and that together as a family we walked this path as one, hand in hand, together every step of the way.

Inmate Ink
The Columbus Dispatch - February 18, 2014 01:39 PM
Michael Watson is a man who likes his ink.
Watson, 20, is charged with murder in the shooting death of Marvin Ector on Dec. 23. (A 15-year-old boy, Michael Henderson, is facing a delinquency count of murder in the same homicide). Both were arrested on Friday.
Back when Watson was 17 and in front of a juvenile court judge on delinquency counts of carrying a concealed weapon and tampering with evidence, an assessment was done of Watson and added to his file. One entire page listed his tattoos.
Some you can see in his current mug shot. A cross between his eyes, "21 st" in the corner of his right eye, "RIP Hootie," with one word under each eye. (Hootie is the nickname of 15-year-old Daequan Nix, killed in a shooting in July 2010. Watson would have been 16 at the time.)
"MT" in the corner of his left eye means Money Time. On his neck is "N.O.N" (North or Nothing).
Other tattoos listed at the time included:
- "M.O.B" on his stomach (Money over bitches)
- "Grimey 90's" with flames on his right forearm
- "Aug. 17, '93" (his birthday) on his right forearm.
- "Cleveland Ave." across both forearms
- A money bag with dollar bills on his right forearm
- "D Blocc" across both wrists
- "Money $ Squad" on his left forearm
- A grim reaper with a gun on his left forearm
- Several names, including the mother of his youngest child, his son, his mom, his niece and two nephews
- C O L U M B U S, with a letter across eight knuckles
The assessment wrote a bit about his tattoos and associated problems.
"Michael presents with several issues, many pertaining to the 'street life' mentality that he states he is trying to stay away from … He has many ties to the streets, including gang members. He has admitted being part of 'D-Blocc' and has several gang related tattoos that he reports wanting to have removed. Though it is apparent that several of his tattoos may limit his success in obtaining employment etc., it still appears that he uses this as an excuse for many issues."
He spent three months in juvenile detention before being granted early release in November 2011.
Currently, he's being held at the Franklin County jail on $2 million bond.

The freshman girls led off the evening, and with some good communication and good serves, the Beeville girls hung on for a 25-23 victory in set one.
The set was close the entire way with the hosts pulling away late for a 22-16 lead over the young Lady Bulldogs. Orange Grove rallied to tie the set at 23-23, but the Beeville girls put the final two points on the board.
Set two had the Beeville team riding some early momentum to a 5-1 lead, but the tenacious OG girls fought back to tie at 10-10 and then outscored the Lady Trojans 15-2 the rest of the way to capture a 25-12 victory to even the best of three match at 1-1.
Set three was a continuation of the second set. The Lady Bulldogs took an 8-1 lead and went on to another 25-12 victory to capture the match 2-1.
"The girls played well together early, and we've definitely improved our communication on the floor," said freshman coach Tracy Garcia.
"We'll be ready for district."
The JV match also saw the OG team rally from a quick start by the Beeville girls. The Lady Trojans led 8-2 before the Lady Bulldogs began to chip away at that lead. It was tied at 11-11, but the momentum had shifted to the OG side of the net. The Lady Bulldogs took the lead and never trailed again in the first set to capture a 25-19 victory for the 1-0 lead.
The Beeville JV girls competed in set two and led 13-10 before the Bulldogs started to growl. The visitors ended the match with a 15-1 run to close out the Lady Trojans in set two 25-14.
Set one of the varsity's best of five match was close most of the way. The Lady Trojans got early kills from Ciara Garcia and Margaret Downing to help build a 12-10 lead midway through the first set. Abigail Silva and Emma Downing also came up with kills for the Lady Trojans in the set.
The visitors picked up the offensive pace and went on a 15-4 run over the final minutes to capture set one 25-16.
Set two had the Beeville girls taking an early 5-1 lead off the serves of Eddika Ortega. But, the Lady Bulldogs would not be denied as they bolted to the lead with some good serves and better net play. The visitors went ahead at 10-9 and never looked back. The final score went to the Bulldogs 25-20 as OG took a 2-0 lead in the match.
Set three was dominated by the Lady Bulldogs. Everything clicked as the visitors led right from the start and eased to a 25-12 win.
No comments or stats were provided.
The Lady Bulldogs swept the match 3-0. Beeville returns to action this weekend in the Sinton tournament.

Queen's Department ready to serve
The Queen's Department for the 77th Mountain State Forest Festival will include three women who bring a great deal of experience to their positions, according to an announcement by Director General Cricket Leary.
Coordinating this year's royal court will be Queen's Department Director Lydia Jones and Queen's Department assistants, Cathy Lindsay and Kim Ross.
Jones will return for her third year as the Queen's Department director, having previously served two years as an assistant on the Queen's Department. She has worked on the princess parade drop-off and invitation committees and assisted with the Coronation music from 2005 to 2008. Her husband, Grant, has volunteered on festival committees in the past as well.
Jones serves on the United Way of Randolph County Board of Directors, attends First United Methodist Church and is a member of the church's Conway Ringers Bell Choir.

Little fundraising reported in spring races
Election set for April 2
Candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and state superintendent are reporting little fundraising activity so far heading into the April 2 election.
Three candidates vying for the Supreme Court while two running to lead the state Department of Public Instruction are required to file reports Thursday showing how much they had raised and spent through the end of last year.
Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack reports raising nearly $39,000 last year and having a little over $55,000 cash on hand. One of her challengers, Milwaukee attorney Vince Megna, reports raising about $10,700 and having nearly $7,000 on hand.
Superintendent candidate, Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore, reports raising nearly $62,000 but most of what he raised came from a $49,000 loan Pridemore made to his own campaign.
