Heidi Klum Takes The Plunge, Ashley Greene Goes Goddess, & Lindsay Lohan Sparkles At AmfAR Gala
Several celebrities attended the amfAR gala held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Wednesday, showing off their figures in designer duds. The event kicks off New York Fashion Week.
Heidi Klum unsurprisingly stunned in a shimmering Michael Kors black gown with a plunging neckline. She wore a jeweled necklace by Lorraine Schwartz.
Ashley Greene wore a white, goddess-like Giambattista Valli gown with a gold laurel leaf belt, while Lindsay Lohan opted for a metallic vintage Roberto Cavalli dress.
Sarah Jessica Parker, often lauded for her fashion sense, chose a fuschia Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2013 Couture gown with an unusual black and white scarf. Doutzen Kroes looked lovely in a strapless, floor-length peach gown.
amfAR focuses on creating and implementing HIV research, treatment, prevention, and education strategies in developing countries.

CarriageReturn-LineFeed = Return
As with many thing computational, it depends on the OS (operating system). In plain text files on DOS/Windows, the special character representing the end of a written line of text is a simple CR (carriage return ASCII value 13 in decimal, 0x0D in hex, CR, or ctrl-M), on Un*x it's a simple linefeed or newline character (ASCII value 10, 0x0A, LF, or ctrl-J). On the Mac under pre-MacOsX days it was CR-LF, and now it can be that or a simple Un*x LF.
The first 32 non-printable characters in the ASCII chart are control characters like ctrl-G (bell, BEL), ctrl-I (horizontal tab, HT), and other teletype controlling codes. The last 5 of the first 32 aren't mapped to control sequences, but include the value for the escape (ESC) key.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii for more info.

Of course, pre-caffeine, I mixed up the DOS/Windows CR-LF and the pre-X MacOS CR. Sorry about that ... sip.

My little finger is now going in a vertical direction over my head...
Thanks, Faldage...even though when I hear 'carriage' I think:
...not necessarily in that order.

Deep down in the guts of the machine the carriage return returns the carriage and the line feed moves the
print head down one line relative to the paper. This would be on a movable printhead printer.
Translation to a computer monitor should be reasonably obvious.
Doing one without the other will not produce the desired results:Just doing a line feed
would produce something like this.
Just doing a carriage return would cause the second line to be printed over the first. Depending on the OS
and the keyboard hitting the return key will generate one, the other or both and the OS will fill in anything
missing to produce the desired result.
Or something like that.

Hollywood has a long history of using cutting-edge technology to produce some of the most eye-popping visuals you'll ever see while simultaneously telling stories filled with a complete misunderstanding of everyday technology.
For every incredible creature that couldn't exist without CGI wizardry, there are dozens of times when everyone behind the scenes is absolutely baffled when it comes to digitally recreating something simple, like...
4Fake Websites
There are a lot of soda options out there, but if you know someone who, as a choice they made entirely on their own and not against their will after a threat of physical violence made by a low-life in clown makeup, chooses Faygo over Coke or Pepsi, there's a good chance you don't like that person. Soda preference isn't the main reason you don't like them, but it's just one annoying grain of sand within the Sahara Desert that is your distrust of them.
If these men offered your child a spray of Faygo to the lips, would you let that happen?
Watching a character from pretty much any movie or show surf the Internet is the same thing. Maybe you're really invested in the ongoing tales of Sam and Dean from Supernatural. All that fan loyalty grinds to a halt for a moment when they need to research their Monster-Of-The-Week. And they don't Google it; no, they Search The Web it...
Jeff Winger on Community is a sarcastic asshole whose natural charisma adds to his cool guy mystique. Too bad his preference for Searchsies.com over any real world search engine makes him look like an out-of-touch grandpa who's about to enter his social security number as a search term.
And those cops on Law and Order could solve a couple rapes and a homicide case before lunch if they weren't using a Chinese Google knockoff ...
It's not just search engines. It's everything on the Internet.
Want to befriend someone in the Supernatural universe? Find them on BFFLink.net, a social networking site that somehow gained in popularity in spite of its third-world-dot-net status.
If you want to watch an Internet video on Castle, you can head over to YouWillViewIt.com, which seems to have been launched circa 2006 and abandoned by its owners circa early 2006, but people just kept posing stuff to it ...
But They Have to Do It Because ...
Google will probably sue them if they use their logo, or the Bing people will soil their pleats and bitch about how it's unfair that Google gets all that free publicity, even though Google is so ubiquitous it's a verb now and "Binging" probably describes the acts committed by an obscure group of fetishists who fuck-dressed as '90s-era Matthew Perry, as if there were any other era of Matthew Perry and if there were anything else you could do in that state of dress other than get pussy.
3Horribly Produced Newscasts
Since the financial crisis hit, news organizations had to cut corners, in some cases getting rid of entire news desks or shutting down altogether. So, the big news networks doubled down on technological fanciness to make up for a lack of real reporting. Newscasts in fictional TV shows were apparently hit even harder.
The characters in the new Kevin Bacon show The Following get their news from a network newscast that appears to be broadcasting in front of a green screen in the producer's basement, surrounded by boxes filled with the remains of abandoned hobbies ...
On Arrow, the only news program anyone watches has the same production value as a North Korean propaganda video ...
Even the newscasts on Arrested Development went from being filmed in a studio with a physical set in the first three seasons ...
... to a set so fake the desk is probably a binary code/balsa wood-blend in season four.
The old saying "Dress for success" applies to more than just clothes. If you want people to take you seriously -- especially in a profession like news reporting, where seriousness reigns supreme -- you have to put your best foot forward. That starts with not looking like a movie villain who has commandeered the airwaves to deliver a scary yet theatrical threat to blow up the moon.
In these worlds filled with newscasts that have low production values, you have to wonder how many corners news programs are cutting elsewhere. If all they can afford is a desk and a green screen, how much are they spending on reporting?
But They Have to Do It Because ...
After running a cost-benefit analysis, Hollywood has determined that physical backgrounds have no business being around humans. Wood, a few nails, and some paint is too much to ask when you can just put some fake stuff on a green thing to give a news anchor that trustworthy cable-access-preacher-at-2 a.m. feel.

Skip to comments.John Kerry: Bombing suspect got radicalized in Chechnya
Posted on 04/24/2013 7:00:05 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
He did? We certainly suspect this might be the case, given Tamerlan Tsarnaev's unusual six-month sojourn to Dagestan and Chechnya, but, er … no one has actually established that as fact. At least judging by media reports, the current case theory postulates that Tsarnaev self-radicalized, and apparently approached bombmaking with the same auto-didactic enthusiasm. And yet, Secretary of State John Kerry told a Brussels press conference that Tsarnaev got radicalized in the Caucasus and came back to blow people up in Boston:
The question from the reporter, according to a transcript provided by the State Department, was, "Sir, with the problem we have that young people go to Syria (inaudible), does that matter also to the U.S., do you have the same problem?"
"Well, of course we have the same problem. We just had a young person who went to Russia, Chechnya, who blew people up in Boston. So he didnt stay where he went, but he learned something where he went and he came back with a willingness to kill people," said Kerry.
"I think the world has had enough of people who have no belief system, no policy for jobs, no policy for education, no policy for rule of law, but who just want to kill people because they dont like what they see. Theres not room for that. Thats what weve been fighting against after all of the wars of the 20th century. Now were in the 21st century, and its time for a different organizational principle. And we need to, all of us, do a better job of communicating to people what the options of life are. And were open. Democracies are open to people participating in the democracy, not killing people. And so I hope that we can all figure out how we translate these better opportunities more effectively in our politics."
You see, this is why government officials should exercise restraint when discussing criminal cases. It's not just that their comments might be seen as unfairly prejudicial, which is certainly one rational concern, but also that they end up sounding like idiots.
This may have escaped the notice of America's top diplomatic officer, but American officials are only now flying to Dagestan to start investigating exactly what Tamerlan did on his sabbatical:
A team from the U.S. embassy in Moscow is in Dagestan today to interview the parents of two brothers suspected of planting bombs at last week's Boston marathon, ABC News has learned. …
Investigators want to know what Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the eldest brother, did in Dagestan, a restive region in southern Russia that is home to an Islamist insurgency, during a six month visit in 2012. Specifically they want to know if Tamerlan, who began linking to Islamic extremist web videos on YouTube after the trip, met any radicals or militants during his trip.
They're coming from the US embassy? Shouldn't the Secretary of State be informed of what happens at our embassies?
It's more than possible that the investigators will find exactly what Kerry claims, but shouldn't we wait until they actually find it first? It hardly seems diplomatic to publicly blame Russia (and Dagestan and Chechnya are still part of Russia) for radicalizing Tsarnaev without some solid evidence first.
That Hanoi Boi is so smart.
Gee, I thought that it was the Internet!
Now they're saying he met someone at his mosque who radicalized him.
Not sure I buy this — plenty of radicalism loose around Harvard Yard. Maybe he attended some classes there.
There's some evidence he was radicalized before he got there:
Where did John Hanoi Kerry become radicalized?
Now "He was radicalized in Chechnya" is stated without evidence, and may be later followed by "We never said that".
In my opinion, one of the best places to be indoctrinated in Hatred for America is the People's Republic of Cambridge,
And just where did you get radicalized there thurston howell the 3rd? Haavaad? The haughty john f'n kerry. SOS? Really? Man is the rest of the world laffin' at us or what?
This is so irresponsible it is breathtaking.
Our Secretaries of State have been a Joke since Kissinger. (Even Jim Baker was an Islamophile)
"Something has to be done about that evil internet. I know let's tax retail sales. That will stop these terrorists! Harumpf! Harumpf!" - Senator Foghorn
He went there BECAUSE he was a radical. No other reason for him to go back to a place they had left as a refugee.
Is there a way we can use a wayback machine to transport those unfortunate runners away from the marathon finish line and transport the Hillabeast and Kerrycretin there?
We would 1) increase the IQ of the gubmit measurably, and 2) decrease the sleaze of the gubmit in the same manner.
A world without Giggolo-boy and Marry-someone-so-I-can-be-successful-wench would be a greater world.
my first thought after reading this and having had lived up in MA.
No he got radical by living where he did and being around nuts cases up there.
They claim to be patriotic and then have their radical left wing nuts view and now I see Boston is selling shirts saying love and peace Boston bla bla
They came out to cheer and had signs saying we won and it's over, these people up there are just nuts and even when I;ve been in bars and out up there I've met others who are radical and hate Israel and blame America.
That;s immigrants and Americans.
In the north end in a café called café paradiso an Albanian was working and with two pals were there with him.
I got talking soccer because I have an English northern strong accent and we then got politics.
One went outside and asked me to follow him and I DID for a smoke.
He then told me he worked at the airport at Boston and how America is to blame , bla bal bla, Hated Israel with a passion.
I went along with him to get more info and he was just as radical as anyone you could think of.
I called the feds and nothing I heard.
Another guy called Hasan hung about with a pal of mine, He said he was from Turkey but parents were from Saudi and UAE, went to school there and when we got onto to politics he too was a nut and said Israel should not be around and the Jews should go home bla bla.
The group he hung about was mostly Americans and they went along with him all the time.
I stopped talking to my pal after that and now I live in the free south thankfully
"Where did John Hanoi Kerry become radicalized?"
Like Father, Like Son—John Kerry's Dangerous Worldview
Albert Mohler
Richard J. Kerry was a career diplomat in the U.S. State Department, serving through World War II and the Cold War. As a mid-level diplomat, the elder Kerry represented American interests in various European cities, even as young John attended boarding schools in Switzerland and the United States.
Richard Kerry's understanding of foreign policy and diplomacy was not generally available to the public until 1990, when he released Star-Spangled Mirror, his treatise on American foreign policy.
Reading this book is like reading John Kerry's mind. In this case, Richard Kerry is truly the father of his son, for Senator John Kerry echoes many of the themes articulated in Star-Spangled Mirror, and these themes have emerged as key issues in the 2004 presidential campaign.
During the Cold War, Richard Kerry became a major critic of America's dominant foreign policy establishment, though this was hidden from public view during his years of public service. In Star-Spangled Mirror, he offered a critique of American idealism as a driving force in foreign policy. As he explained, "Americans are inclined to see the world and foreign affairs in black and white." As a nation, we are prone to see our view of the world as driven by a desire for the application of universal principles like liberty, justice, and representative democracy. Richard Kerry saw this as naive and dangerous. In his view, many nations of the world should be seen as inhospitable to democracy, and unready for liberty.
As he laid out his diplomatic approach and view of the world, Richard Kerry distanced himself from hard-line anti-Communists like Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Dulles's diplomatic war against "godless Communism" was lamented as evidence of the late Secretary of State's "intensely moralistic outlook."
Echoes of Richard Kerry's understanding of the world can be heard in virtually every comment made by his son on topics related to foreign policy. When Senator John Kerry attacks President George W. Bush for his identification of an "axis of evil," one hears the refrain of Richard Kerry's critique of "excessive moralism." When Richard Kerry dismissed John Foster Dulles' "ample moralism" by rejecting his statement that "neutralism is immoral," we can hear John Kerry's dismissal of President Bush's public statement to the world, "you are either with us or with the terrorists."
During the Cold War, Richard Kerry saw the United States as potentially more dangerous and destabilizing than the Soviet Union. "The assumptions that Marxist governments outside the Soviet orbit are under Soviet control, and that conflict and disorder are produced by Soviet intrigue are," he argued, "essential to maintain the moral distinction Americans make between their own power and that of their adversary, the division of the world in accordance with that distinction, and the illusion that those who are not captives of the evil power will adhere to our preferred beliefs. It might be disproportionate to say that if the Soviets did not exist we would have to invent them, but we certainly have invented a part of their intentions and activities which is essential to our political faith."
Nah, really? I was still waiting for You Tube videos.
The ones who sincerely preach peace and tolerance are the "radical muslims."
Both of them.
Even his signature screams "pompous douchebaggery".
Yes and forget the 9,000 tax districts you have to know about to do it right. The Congress just keeps doing what they do best screwing the American people till there is nothiing left to screw. Let's hope the change takes place before we reach the point of no return.
The myth that the people are stealing from their states and there is a multi-billion dollar pot of internet money just waiting to be harvested by greedy, cash strapped State Governments is just that a myth, and when the Congress gets through messing with the internet economy, there will be a few thousand more unemployed, who cannot take the loss of income that this venture will guarantee them.
Excellent point!
I think we should defer to Mr. Kerry's expertise. He should know all there is to know about becoming radicalized.
Or in Boston with Imam Abdullah Faarooq:
You has to be radicalized enough to consider a trip to Chechnya in the first place.
Oooops, Kerry must NOT have read the talking points memo about "It's America's fault" the poor little angels did this!!!!!
It all started because of a video on the Internet.
Oh... wait...
4/23/13, Excerpt:
Imam Suhaib Webb of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center said on twitter that Governor Patricks office suddenly disinvited him to the service and he did not know why. The Clarion Project has documented the Muslim Brotherhood links of the ISBCC and its parent mosque, the Islamic Society of Boston.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and the Imam
City of Boston gave subsidy to bombing suspects radical mosque
Be careful here. The MSM and Administration are playing their normal word games with us.
Here is the story they like:
He was RADICALIZED in Dagestan and Chechnya.
Here is the story they fear:
He was TRAINED in Dagestan and Chechnya.
So even when they confirm the training you will not hear that from Obama or Kerry or Reid or Schumer or the NYT or MSNBC or the LAT or ...

i wish the information could go back farther in time, because i need information that is in the 1500s, and THEN on, but it only goes back until the butt end of the 1700s. this website has useful information, but does not go back as far as others. they should re-consider this.

By Kate Nash: The New Mexican
If you mostly listened for the new projects and programs that Gov.
Bill Richardson pitched to lawmakers in his State of the State speech Tuesday, you could have missed the part about the state's money crisis.
Richardson wants to build a "green grid" to harness solar and wind power.
He proposes a new research center that would put technologies developed with federal funds into the state's commercial sector.
He hopes to extend the hybrid vehicle tax credit and create a new Pecos Canyon State Park.
Along with urging investments and programs that can create jobs, the
governor said he wants to build a "major" new food warehouse for the
RoadRunner Food Bank.
In his half-hour speech on the first day of the 60-day session,
Richardson just a few times mentioned the budget crunch, a gap between
revenues and expenses that is projected to be almost a half billion
dollars this fiscal year.
"A cold financial winter has come," Richardson said. "And our state faces a serious budget shortfall."
The Democratic governor, who has dubbed this the Year of Fiscal
Restraint, also said the state had "made the wise choices to prepare
for such a winter."
Not everyone agreed with the governor's assessment of state
government's finances and the ideas laid out in his speech, however,
including some Democrats. Some said he sent a mixed message by
proposing new projects when the state doesn't have the cash to keep
some existing ones.
Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat who chairs the Senate
Finance Committee, described the speech as "long on hope and need, and
short on funding."
Others said they were not surprised by Richardson ambitious speech in the middle of the budget crisis.
"The governor has very active imagination," said House Minority
Leader Tom Taylor, R-Farmington. "That's part of his M.O. since he's
come into office. He's just a machine that thinks about New Mexico and
creates all sorts of programs."
Richardson in his speech worked to downplay the critics.
"Some are offering a pessimistic view of the future. But pessimism
never built a road, never taught a student and never immunized a child.
It never protected our streets, never created a job, and pessimism will
not solve this crisis," he said.
Not all the governor's proposals cost money — or a lot of money —
however. He wants to give same-sex partners the same rights as married
couples, create a state equal-pay task force and make changes in some
state college affordability funds so that 100 percent of the money goes
to students with financial needs, he said.
Also during his speech, Richardson pointed to the jobs the state
has created under his leadership, the children educated in the state's
pre-kindergarten initiative, the renewable energy projects built.
Despite the successes of projects the governor listed, lawmakers
said they are focused on cutting $450 million from the current budget
in the next week. They then will tackle the 2010 budget.
"I don't know what we can do new. We can barely take care of what we
have now," Senate Minority Leader Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, said.
"We've got a heck of a lot of revenues not coming in. Gross receipts
are all off," he said. "We had six great years and when it softens,
it's going to soften a little bit. It's not going to come back in six
Ingle said Republicans are not likely to go for any tax credits this year, which is one part of the governor's agenda.
Richardson is proposing to increase the state's tax credit for
renewable energy production, as well as those that would help biomass,
wind, solar and geothermal production.
House Speaker Ben Lujan, D-Nambe, said he likes the renewable-energy projects.
Lujan also said he liked Richardson's speech, saying it was "very bold and to a certain extent, very progressive."
"I liked that fact that he says we have to be optimistic," Lujan
said. "Pessimism will not be the vehicle that brings back the economy,
and I think we all concur with that statement."
As part of his speech, Richardson proposed changing the state's
funding formula for schools. A study in 2007 found the state's schools
are underfunded by $350 million.
Ingle said that while the change "would be a great thing to do, I
don't know how or where we're going to get the money. I don't see how
we can do that this year without raising taxes and we don't want to do
Richardson said such a big change should be sent to voters for a decision, which could happen as a Constitutional amendment.
As part of his education plan, Richardson also wants to keep the
financially ailing College of Santa Fe in the capital city. Operating
what is now a private four-year college could cost the state up to $16
million a year.
When he ended his speech, Richardson acknowledged how tough it will be for lawmakers to make cuts in the current year budget.
As part of dealing with the budget crisis, he proposes the state draw down its reserves from 8 to 10 percent of its budget.
"We have a difficult climb ahead, filled with tough choices and
great sacrifices," Richardson said. "We will weather this storm."

Pension schemes do better managing their money themselves
If you want something done properly, perhaps it really is better to do it yourself. One of the most intriguing sections of Hymans Robertson's review of the structure of the £178 billion Local Government Pension Scheme, published just over a week ago, was its look at the small number of funds that run most of their own money. They seem to do a better job than many of their peers who employ expensive private sector asset management firms.
Out of the 89 council funds in the LGPS system in England and Wales, Hymans identified only five that manage more than two-thirds of their assets in-house. Hymans looked at these funds' investment returns during the eight years to the end of March 2013 (the funds' most recent accounting year-end) and found that all five were in the top third of the performance rankings – in positions 29, 19, 12, 10 and 7 of the 89.
John Hattersley, fund director at the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, one of the five, said: "Despite the lack of comparative data across the LGPS, it does stand out that internally managed funds are cheaper to run and, on the whole, they deliver the goods."
Our funds in the north
These funds, which collectively manage about £17 billion, have employees on the council payroll who pick stocks. And not just UK equities – the West Yorkshire Pension Fund has an employee based in Bradford City Council's offices who manages a portfolio of Japanese equities.
Rodney Barton, director of the fund, said meeting companies was not a problem: "Quite a few UK companies do make trips up to Leeds. And our Japanese portfolio manager has a good relationship with firms in Japan, having worked there for 20 years. If they come over to London, he goes down on the train to meet them. All our overseas managers do one or two trips a year to the countries they cover, to meet the companies and the local brokers."
They also have staff who pick hedge funds, avoiding the double commission other pensions funds pay when they access alternative strategies via funds of funds.
There's a common heritage to all five funds. They're all, broadly, in the North, in areas with a tradition of strong, active local government. Three are run by authorities in Yorkshire, the fourth is based in Middlesbrough and the fifth, slightly south of the others, is in Derbyshire.
Barton said: "These authorities were all inventions of the 1974 reorganisation of local government. New organisations were created in these areas, with county treasurers who wanted to build something, who were thinking differently."
The result, he said, was that in-house asset management operations grew up organically, with most tracing their history to the mid to late 1980s. These councils have largely stuck with it since, according to Hattersley, because performance has been good and costs low: "If it isn't broken, why fix it?"
This does create a certain confirmation bias in favour of internal management, since poorly performing in-house teams would probably have been shut down over the years.
Those who work at these Northern council-run asset managers are a small and close-knit community. Often recruited from brokers or building societies in Halifax, Leeds or Manchester, they move on, if they move on, to other funds or firms in the region, rather than being tempted away by high salaries in London.
Mark Lyon, director of investments at the £3.1 billion East Riding of Yorkshire Pension Fund, is a case in point. An accountant by background, he was hired by Barton when the latter was at East Riding, moved to the Derbyshire Pension Fund and ascended through the ranks, then came back to East Riding when his former boss took up his current job at West Yorkshire.
Lyon, whose team works out of council offices in Goole, said it could be a challenge sometimes to find the right people to fill investment roles: "We can offer a much better work-life balance but, obviously, because we are part of a local authority we can't offer the remuneration that people could get in the private sector. "Personally, I think that is a false economy because, of course, if you don't have an internal team, you are paying fees to external managers, which is more expensive."
In its report, Hymans cited research from analytics firm CEM Benchmarking in 2010, which looked at internal management at several large international funds. This study found "no statistically significant difference" between the performance of internal teams versus external managers, and said internal teams added value largely because they were cheaper.
But the funds themselves have another theory. Barton said: "One thing that is consistently true across all internally managed funds, public and private sector – this applies to Barclays and BP [which also use in-house managers] as well – is that the turnover of stocks is much lower.
"This is because there isn't the same excitement about the next quarterly presentation to the client. We don't have to deal with the question: 'you haven't done anything for a quarter, what are we paying you for?'" Lyon agreed with this point, saying that East Riding's stock turnover was low. He said: "Our average holding period is seven years, which is three times longer than the LGPS average."
A model for the future?
The future structure of the Local Government Pension Scheme has been the focus of intense debate since local government minister Brandon Lewis set out proposals to merge funds last year.
The government has now proposed less radical measures such as new collective investment vehicles and greater use of passive management by the 89 funds. But Susan Martin, chief executive of the London Pensions Fund Authority, said the track record of the internally run funds suggests that more could be done. She said: "We have argued for bringing together 'super-pools' of council pensions, worth £20 billion or £30 billion each, which would do more in-house and direct investment."
In particular, she said, organisations of this scale could do more than most local authority funds do now to analyse and manage their liabilities, and match investment opportunities precisely to them.
Another route to greater collaboration could be for the small number of LGPS funds with professional in-house management expertise to run money for other councils. The South Yorkshire Pensions Authority already does this, Hattersley pointed out, running investments for two separate pension funds – one, the South Yorkshire Pension Fund, is for council workers in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield, and the other is the pension fund for the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Authority.
Barton, of West Yorkshire, said: "If you had asked me three years ago whether we'd ever run money for any other LGPS fund, I'd have said that's a nice idea but it will never happen. But with all the debate we've had in the past year, I'd say now it's a very real possibility. We shall see."

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene & Tropical Storm Lee
Within days of each other, Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee made landfall in the continental United States, wreaking havoc with torrential rainstorms and wind damage that caused disruptions to ACF program delivery in several communities.
Hurricane Irene first made landfall on Aug. 22, 2011, as a category 1 hurricane in Puerto Rico where severe flooding resulted in significant property damage and loss of lives.
Five days later, Hurricane Irene made a second landfall over the outer banks of North Carolina on Aug. 27 with sustaining winds remaining at category 1 level.
The storm disrupted human services infrastructure and program service delivery, and gave rise to new human services needs among those directly affected throughout the eastern seaboard. In Northeastern states, the flooding caused by Irene was exacerbated by the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee just a few days later.
On Sept. 1, 2011, Tropical Storm Lee made landfall in Louisiana. Although it was only a tropical storm, the huge size of the disturbance also affected Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The slow-moving storm caused major flood damage and spawned 30 tornadoes during its trek toward the northeast. Remnants of Lee reached as north as Pennsylvania and New York.
OHSEPR led ACF's response and recovery efforts to restore service delivery and address disaster-caused needs. The ACF Regional Emergency Management Specialists and other Regional Office staff deployed to emergency operations centers across the East Coast to lead the response effort.
Pre and post disaster situation reports, as well as critical human services information from the regions, were provided to OHSEPR, which was then able to plan, coordinate and communicate with federal, state, non-governmental partners and ACF leadership.
As a result of the flooding and significant property damage in Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont and Massachusetts, OHSEPR was called upon to administer and implement the Federal Disaster Case Management program.
In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and ACF's national partner Catholic Charities USA, ACF deployed eight REMS, scores of CCUSA personnel, and more than 100 U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Officers to provide disaster case management services to clients with disaster-caused unmet needs.
Team members traveled to the affected states, where they served as points of contact to connect disaster survivors to resources and services to address their unmet needs.


text: Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. Long story short, I have been trying to induce since Aug 7th. The second day of pumping, I started to get small "dots of clear fluid" on each breast after 15 minutes of pumping. Began fenugreek (8 daily) on the 5th day and started taking domperidone (80mg daily) and it immediately began increasing the number of "clear dots" of fluid at every pumping. Then on Aug 15th, 16th and 17th, I took benadryl for my allergies, having no idea that it would effect inducing lactation. As of the 16th, I am not pumping anything out of my breasts and the clear fluid "dots" have totally dried up. I have not pumped ANYTHING since the 16th ( 8 days)!!!!!!!!!! I am still taking 8 fenugreek a day, 80 mg of domperidone, and pumping every three hours, but nothing! How long before the benadryl is out of my system!!!!! My breasts feel full and I am having let downs, but still nothing!! Should I stop and take a break and start all over, or should I keep doing what I have been doing? Anyone have this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Topical NSAIDs
I have a mental basket of drugs that I suspect may be placebos. In that basket were the topical versions of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). When the first products were commercially marketed over a decade ago, I found the clinical evidence unconvincing, and I suspected that the modestly positive effects were probably due to simply rubbing the affected area, or possibly due to the effects of the cream or vehicle itself. Frankly, I didn't think these products worked. So when I recently noticed a topical NSAID appear for sale as an over-the-counter treatment for muscle aches and pains (seemingly only in Canada, for now), I was confident it would make a good case study in bad science.
It's not that I'm partial to the oral NSAIDs. Yes, they're among the most versatile, and probably most well-loved drugs in our modern medicine cabinet. They offer good pain control, reduce inflammation and can eliminate fever. We start using it in our sick and feverish infants, through childhood and adulthood for the aches and pains of modern life, and into our later years for the treatment of degenerative disease like osteoarthritis, which affects pretty much everyone as we age. An astonishing 17 million Americans use NSAIDs on a daily basis, and this number is expected to grow as the population ages. In the running groups I frequent, ibuprofen has the affectionate nickname "Vitamin I", where it's perceived as an essential ingredient for dealing with the consequences of training.
But NSAIDs have a long list of side effects. Not only do they cause stomach ulcers and bleeding by damaging the gastrointestinal mucosa, there are heart risks, too. It was the arrival (and departure) of the drugs Bextra and Vioxx that led to documentation of the potential for cardiovascular toxicity. And now there's data to suggest that these effects are not limited to the "COX-2" drugs – almost all NSAIDs, including the old standbys we have used for years, seem capable of raising the risks of heart attacks and strokes.
So despite my initial skepticism, I took another look at the topical NSAIDs. The data were not what I expected.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that tells your body to make hemoglobin — the red, iron-rich compound that gives blood its red color. Hemoglobin allows red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body. In sickle cell anemia, the abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid, sticky and misshapen.
The sickle cell gene is passed from generation to generation in a pattern of inheritance called autosomal recessive inheritance. This means that both the mother and the father must pass on the defective form of the gene for a child to be affected.
If only one parent passes the sickle cell gene to the child, that child will have the sickle cell trait. With one normal hemoglobin gene and one defective form of the gene, people with the sickle cell trait make both normal hemoglobin and sickle cell hemoglobin. Their blood may contain some sickle cells, but they generally don't experience symptoms. However, they are carriers of the disease, which means they can pass the defective gene on to their children.
With each pregnancy, two people with sickle cell traits have:

Jury finds college official guilty of DUI
BARRE The associate director of Norwich Universitys School of Business and Management has been found guilty of drunken driving.
Stephen M. Pomeroy, 57, of Northfield, was convicted in a jury trial in Washington County criminal court in Barre of one count of driving under the influence. Jury deliberations lasted about 30 minutes. Pomeroy, a retired Marine colonel, was ordered to pay a $400 fine.
Norwich University declined to comment for this story, with a representative saying the college does not comment on the personal lives of its employees. The schools website lists Pomeroy as associate director and lecturer, with a specialization in leadership studies.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, a trooper was driving on Brook Road in Warren in March when he saw a vehicle quickly approaching him from behind. The trooper said he clocked Pomeroy driving 55 mph in a 40 mph zone and pulled him over.
State police say that as Pomeroy was looking for his registration, the trooper noted Pomeroys speech was slurred, his eyes were watery and a moderate odor of intoxicants was coming from the vehicle. When the trooper asked Pomeroy how many drinks he had consumed, state police say, Pomeroy replied, a couple of beers.
Pomeroy was then asked to perform field sobriety tests. State police say he had a hard time following directions and was unable to maintain his balance during the tests.
Pomeroy was then taken to the Middlesex barracks and processed for driving under the influence. A breath test showed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.102 percent a little over an hour after he was pulled over. The legal limit for driving in the state is 0.08 percent.
It was that breath test that was the basis for Pomeroys unsuccessful defense.
His attorney, Robert Kaplan, said in his closing argument that he hoped the jury was a little bit frightened now that it had heard how the state prosecutes charges of driving under the influence.
Earlier in the trial, Kaplan had questioned state forensic chemist Rebecca Mead about how the machine that analyzes a drivers breath, the Datamaster DMT, functioned. In part, Mead explained the software the machine uses is patented and as such, she could not give a definite answer as to how the machine converts the numbers it reads into the breath test numbers it displays. Kaplan characterized that as the process being secret.
Kaplan also took issue with the standards the Department of Public Safety uses when analyzing how quickly alcohol leaves a persons body.
After a breath test, the state uses an equation based on the rate alcohol leaves an average persons body to calculate what the suspects blood alcohol content was when driving. Kaplan repeatedly asked Mead how the state comes up with that average persons number, saying its based on some mythical person and not the actual rate that alcohol leaves Pomeroys system.
Mead said the standard has been established based on numerous studies conducted on alcohols effect on the body.
In her closing argument, Deputy States Attorney Kristin Wood said the case was pretty straightforward given the evidence. The jury agreed.

PITTSBURGH, PA (October 10, 2006) – The Allegheny County Airport Authority honored 71 Pittsburgh International Airport Volunteer Ambassadors today with a celebration commemorating the Fifth Anniversary of the program. Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato and Airport Authority Board Member Mary Pat Soltis conducted the recognition ceremony.
"Congratulations to the Ambassadors and the program's five years of outstanding work," said Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato. "The Ambassadors welcome visitors to our region and undoubtedly make an incredibly positive impression. What visitors are really being introduced to is the spirit of Allegheny County and the southwestern PA region: Warmth, friendliness, outgoing and caring."
"In just one year, the Ambassador Escort Program has had such great success," said Mary Pat Soltis of the Allegheny County Airport Authority Board. "As changes to the airline industry have come about, the Ambassadors have met new these challenges, expanded this wonderful program and have helped so many people."
"We are delighted to have this opportunity to thank this special group of volunteers, who donate their time to help individuals each day at Pittsburgh International Airport," said Kent G. George, Executive Director of the Allegheny County Airport Authority. "Ambassadors have assisted passengers on some of the busiest days at the airport and make such a positive impact on the total airport experience."
Ambassadors are volunteers from the community who donate their time to provide courteous and friendly assistance and provide a warm welcome to visitors. The Ambassador program began on August 8, 2001, and today 21 of the 71 Ambassadors are "original" Ambassadors, who served the first day the program was launched.
The following Ambassadors were honored for five years of service:
Rodney Akers, Eleanor Buran, Paul Buran, Mimi deBrucky, Marilyn DeMasso, Pat Diamond, Camie Hewlett, John Kolano, Martha Lanken. Edna Lloyd, Mike Musulin, Bernie Mrusek, Glenn Oberdick, James Phillips, Ed Potocar, Anita Potocar, Denise Quach. Susan Reed, Karen Sanders, John Williams and Vi Young.

Along with courses in applied music, music theory, and music history that develop your technical understanding of music, you'll take classes in business and economics that give you a foundation in business administration. With this background, you'll be ready to excel in whatever aspect of music business you pursue, whether that's music retail, music marketing, artist management, music publishing, or record production.
FSC's music programs thrive on engagement. Here, you'll join a community where students and faculty work closely together. Our small classes and intimate faculty-student ratio provide you with constant teacher interaction and advice. And because practice rooms are steps away from teaching studios, answers and assistance are just across the hall.
In addition to our chapter of Music Entertainment Industry Student Association, a national organization for students in the field of music management, we sponsor numerous music-related groups. Audition for our Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, and Jazz Ensemble, or for one of our numerous small ensembles that include:
We also have chapters of Delta Omicron, an international professional fraternity open to music majors and minors, and Phi Mu Alpha, a music fraternity open to anyone with a professional interest in music regardless of major.
We offer talent-based music scholarships for students intending to pursue a degree program in Music. These scholarships require an audition.

Yes, to my shame. They dragged me there.
Never heard of it. What is it?
No!, and proud of it (in a humble sort of way)
No!, and I'm ashamed to live on a continent where it was shown.

I must confess I have seen it. Maybe 3 or 4 times. In fact it was on the other night again, the 8 pound 6 once baby Jesus scene saying grace for super was a little much. Actualy it mad me mad and laugh at the same time. I know a lot of people when they pray they pray to baby Jesus. They love baby Jesus. What's more precious to people than a baby.

I can't vote. No accurate option for me. I would click on a button that read " Yes' I watched it and really had a problem with thinking that some of this stuff was considered comedy". Some of Will Ferrel's stuff was actually quite funny, but not this one. I guess racetrack humor isn't for me. Also, the "Baby Jesus" stuff was typical for a lot of Americans......a god made in their image.

I finally watched it one night on one of the cable networks (back when we had satellite TV). It wasn't particularly good, but had a few funny lines (e.g., he names his two kids "Walker" and "Texas Ranger"). And it's anti-religious altogether. There's one scene when the NASCAR driver is asking for "divine intervention" to get over his fear of driving (I think). He "prays" to Tom Cruise, asking him to help him with his spaceman voodoo or something like that.
But the movie is DUMB, so don't waste your time.

Only saw the advertisements for it. I generally don't watch much with Will Ferrel. And after hearing about some of the scenes, I'm glad I've never seen it.

I saw it. Owned it for a while, but then swapped it for something else.
I was disappointed in it, but on entertainment grounds, not religious. It is definitely one of Ferrel's lesser films.
As for the infamous "baby Jesus" scene, I thought it was funny. I didn't consider it blasphemous, but rather a pretty good satire of Southern evangelicalism.
Saw it. Thought it was uber-stupid. I usually avoid Will Ferrel movies and should have done so in this case. To call it sophomoric would be an insult to sophomores.

I saw it because it was at the drive-in with something else. I know I didn't like the Baby Jesus prayer but I also didn't like the whole movie. It was beyond stupid. I do like a couple of Will Farell movies (ELF!), but not the entirely stupid ones (which are most).

text: I have been breastfeeding my son for 4 months now. I have been back to work since Thanksgiving and pump 2x's while I"m there to supply my son with milk while he is at his grandparents house each day. At first I was pumping plenty of milk...at least 5 ounces from the right side and 3 on the left each time I pumped. (my right always produced more). I solely breastfeed on the weekends. Recently my breast milk is signficantly less...I"m lucky if I pump a total of 5 ounces each each time I pump. I don't know what to do....I need to be able to make 2 5oz bottles plus have extra to be putting in his rice cereal. I have been taking fenugreek also for the last two days (2 pills 3x's a day). Nothing seems to be working. I"m afraid I'll have to have his grandparents give him formula if I can't supply the milk. Please help!!

Faulty airplane was just what Columbus State needed
Dan Krumlauf just wanted to get rid of the aging single-engine plane that he had bought years ago and learned to fly.
The Piper Tomahawk airplane had started to fail. There were engine problems. So he donated it to Columbus State Community College, where he had studied finance and graduated in 1988.
Students at Columbus State were thrilled. The plane will go to the school's Aviation Maintenance department. By chance, the department needed just that model of airplane.
"We have the same model engine for the Piper that was donated several years ago and overhauled by the students in class, but we had no way to test run the engine," associate professor Jeff Gruber said in a statement.
As part of a capstone course this year, students will remove the faulty engine from Krumlauf's plane. Over the summer semester, students will start to overhaul the old engine that the school already had. When they're finished, the department will have a working airplane.Posted by Collin Binkley on February 26, 2014 04:43 PM

An $8 million gift for Ohio Wesleyan fitness center
Former Geico CEO and his wife match the school's largest-ever donation
A graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware and his wife are donating $8 million to turn a building built in 1954 into a new campus fitness center.Continue Reading
The gift, from alumnus Louis A. Simpson and his wife, Kimberly K. Querrey, is tied for the largest in the private liberal arts school's history, matching one given last year from two married alumni to renovate a shuttered academic building.
Simpson, who retired in 2010 as president and CEO of Capital Operations of the Geico Corp., graduated from the school in 1958.
The new donation will help the school transform the former Pfeiffer Natatorium into the Simpson Querrey Fitness Center, which will house more than 3,500 square feet of exercise space, a renovated gymnasium, new dance studio and classroom space for the Department of Health and Human Kinetics.
"We shared the vision, and they then reached out to us," President Rock Jones said today. " This facility will be a tremendous resource for Ohio Wesleyan and will serve students as well as faculty and staff for many years to come."
With the $8 million gift, the school of 1,850 students also plans to finish renovating the Edwards Gymnasium, which was built in 1904 and is adjacent to the natatorium. The new fitness center will be wrapped in brown brick, with red clay roofing to match Edwards, which houses athletic offices and a weight room.
University officials said the project will create a more-prominent entrance to the campus from its south end. Simpson, who studied economics and accounting at Ohio Wesleyan, also received an honorary degree from the school last year in recognition of his contributions to the field of economics.Posted by Collin Binkley on February 13, 2014 12:36 PM

Why did the Catholic schools stay open when Columbus schools closed?
Columbus Catholic schools typically follow Columbus City School's lead when officials cancel classes – in part because the district transports students who reside in their boundaries to their Catholic school.

OSU to hold class on Saturday, finals week after weather closures
Here's the trade-off to those cold-weather cancellations at Ohio State University: Some students will have to take make-up classes during finals week or on a Saturday.
In an email sent across the university after the second cancellation last month, the OSU provost gave professors permission to hold class the day before final exams begin. Students should be prepared to attend class on April 22, Provost Joseph Steinmetz wrote, which is the university's " reading day" before finals and typically reserved for studying.
For seven-week courses, or half of a semester, OSU is letting professors hold class this Saturday or on Feb. 15.
"Given that these make-up days are Saturdays, I ask that students make every attempt to attend if their instructor chooses to offer a make-up class," Steinmetz wrote.
The move triggered backfire among some students. On social media websites, some students laughed off the idea of going to class the day before finals begin or on a Saturday. Others were outraged by the move and asked OSU to reverse course.Continue ReadingPosted by Collin Binkley on February 05, 2014 04:58 PM

Fort Collins reports revenue increase in April
- published_in
- Today's News
The city's monthly financial report shows that sales tax accounts for just over 50 percent of the general fund budget and serves as the primary funding source for the general government. Monthly collections were 4.9 percent higher than projections.
Use tax also increased to $974,745 in April, compared with $713,714 in April 2011. Use tax collections are volatile because they are heavily reliant on building activity and vehicle sales, according to the report.
Property taxes increased slightly from $1.11 million in April 2011 to $1.17 million this year. Property taxes account for about 17 percent of the general fund and are remitted in two installments at the end of February and in mid-June.
Total revenue for the city in April was $8.9 million, 7.3 percent higher than expenses for the month, which totaled $8.3 million. Typically, revenues are higher than expenses in the first half of the year, the report said.

German Wine Institute – all about German wines and their regions:
The German Wine Institute (DWI) is the central communication and marketing organisation of the German wine industry. It is an umbrella organisation for all players of the industry and promotes Wines of Germany on a global scale. Therefore, DWI supports the work of individual wine makers, wine associations (Genossenschaften), cellars and merchants alike. The aim of the German Wine Institute is to continiously enhance image, quality and sales of fine wines from the 13 wine-growing regions of Germany.
Headquartered in Bodenheim near Great Wine Capital Mainz, the institute currently has some 40 employees and operates thirteen German wine information offices worldwide, including London, New York and Toronto.
The DWI promotes German wines through numerous communication channels: it organises and realises press trips, public relation activities, advertising campaigns and events. The German Wine Institute also gives presentations at trade fairs, organises training courses and seminars and conducts market research. It assures consumers that quality-certified wines from all 13 German wine regions are among the world's best.
Key aspects of DWI communications are the uniqueness of German winegrowing (cool climate zone), the global significance of German viniculture and the promotion of wine tourism as well as cultural and culinary life. More: www.germanwines.de / www.deutscheweine.de
German wine growing regions:
German wine differs from wines of other countries — it's light, lively and fruity, thanks to Germany's unique climatic and geological conditions. With the exception of Saale-Unstrut and Sachsen in the east, the wine-growing regions are concentrated in the south and southwestern part of Germany. They are among the most northerly wine regions in the world and straddle the border between the humid Gulf Stream climate of the west and the dry Continental climate of the east.
The long growing season and moderate summer temperatures bring forth filigree wines that are relatively low in alcohol. The diversity of German wine stems from the many soil types and grape varieties — there is no "uniform" type or style of German wine — and this diversity is reflected in Germany's 13 wine-growing regions.

Conn. Firm Lured To N.C. By 'Hungry Workforce'
By Jeff Tiberii • Aug 20, 2013
Originally published on August 20, 2013 6:57 am
Some politicians across the country are getting crafty — trying to woo businesses to their states. But in North Carolina, it wasn't an elaborate government sales pitch that got a company in Connecticut interested in expansion. It was the state's high unemployment rate.

Man ticketed for laughing too loudly
Neighbor complains man laughs too loudly in his own home
A man was issued two court summonses for laughing too loudly in his own home.
CBS New York and the Associated Press report that a neighbor issued complaints against 42-year-old Robert Schiavelli for the disruptive laughter coming from his home. Schiavelli, who has seizures and other neurological problems, claimed he laughs as a defense mechanism against the taunts of his neighbor, Daniel O'Hanian. The neighbors have been feuding on and off for about a year. Schiavelli claims O'Hanian mocks him for being mentally challenged and calls him a "retard."
A Nassau County judge declined to throw out the complaints at a Tuesday arraignment. Schiavelli could face $500 in fines or 30 days in jail.
