BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — In the film American Hustle, Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) plants a lipstick-smearing kiss on a grifter, Sydney (Amy Adams), who is having an affair with a fellow con artist (Christian Bale) — the husband of Rosalyn.
The kiss caps off a scene of rage-filled accusations and not-so-veiled threats.
The possibility that members of the Mafia might kill all three of them only intensifies the heat.
The kiss, Adams acknowledged, was her idea.
"Rosalyn's crazy," she said. "And I thought, 'What's the craziest thing she could do?' "
Lawrence sticks the landing on the kiss, while Adams hits about a half-dozen other emotions — from shock and fear to rage — with her understandably stunned response.
On Thursday, Adams, 39, was announced among the Golden Globe nominees as best actress for her part in the new film — to open nationwide on Friday.
For many of her fans, Adams will always be the wide-eyed would-be princess who fell to Earth in Enchanted or the chatty, cheerful Southern wife in Junebug, for which she received the first of four Academy Award nominations. (She might add to that when the Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 16.)
But, during the past several years, she has expanded her range of characters, mixing plenty of light (The Muppets, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Leap Year) with doses of darkness.
In The Fighter, she plays a bartender tough and salty enough to stand up to the greedy, shiftless family of her boxer boyfriend (Mark Wahlberg); in The Master, she is the domineering wife of a cult leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Her role in American Hustle might be her darkest to date. But then, in a couple of months, she's off to play Lois Lane in Batman vs. Superman.
Not many actresses are given the chance to make such jumps, and, if she had been less ambitious, Adams might have spent the past few years stuck in rom-coms. Her
willingness to experiment — and the trust of directors — has kept her from that fate.
American Hustle is based loosely on the late-1970s Abscam scandal, an FBI sting operation that resulted in the convictions of several members of Congress. In one scene, Irving Rosenfeld (Bale) and Sydney, a former stripper and Cosmopolitan magazine employee, discover each other at a party, their eyes locking from across the room.
"He wasn't in the best shape," she says in a voice-over, referring to the 50 pounds or so that Bale put on for his role. But Adams is as sexy and glamorous as ever.
The two are nabbed running a scam in which Sydney pretends to be a classy expat with London banking connections. An FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) enlists them in a small sting that spins out of control. Soon, mobsters and congressmen are involved, and one is never sure who is conning whom.
The fourth of seven children, Adams still has the air of a person who sang in her school choir and performed at a dinner theater in Minnesota without a thought about Hollywood. She doesn't speak ill of anyone and still has fond memories of the people who talked her out of quitting the business when her prospects looked dim.
She still calls people "sir" and "ma'am." When asked a question, she pauses, then comes back with a thoughtful answer.
It is a bit of that Amy Adams, perhaps the one still more familiar to audiences, on display in Her, the latest film from Spike Jonze (due out on Jan. 10). Joaquin Phoenix plays Theodore, a man pining for his ex-wife who falls in love with his computer's operating system, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Adams plays Theodore's best friend, a gentle soul in spare makeup still hopeful about finding love.
"It's a friendship love," Adams said of her on-screen relationship with Phoenix. "Joaquin and I were able to create a male-female friendship on camera, and you don't get to explore that very often without undertones and overtones. We're friends, and you really believe that. Or I believe that. I can't speak for anyone else."

Parents can be very important in helping children and adolescents to recover from their trauma-related experiences and losses. Because children and adolescents go through many normal changes as they mature into young adults, it is not always easy to tell when they are bothered by posttraumatic, grief, or depressive reactions. A first step in being helpful is to learn as much as you can about child traumatic stress. Click here for more information on understanding child traumatic stress.
A First step in being helpful is to learn as much as
you can about child traumatic stress.
It is also not always easy to know what type of support children and adolescents need, or how to offer it. Here are some suggestions about ways to support your children, including open communication, emotional support, and practical support.
- Try to keep in mind what your children have experienced. Let your child know that you appreciate the seriousness of what they went through, and that you know that their reactions to their traumatic experiences and losses can continue for a long time. At the same time, try to reassure them that things will improve over time.
- Encourage your children to talk about ways in which they are still bothered by their experiences, losses and current difficulties. This will help you better understand their feelings and behavior.
- In speaking to your child, try to understand how they are feeling without being critical. For example, don't say things like, "Stop complaining," or "You should be over it by now."
- It is important to be patient and tolerant, especially when they talk repetitively about the trauma.
A Let your child know that you appreciate the seriousness of
what they went through.
- Let them know how much you would like to be of help whenever they are reminded of their experiences or losses. Get familiar with the many ways your child may be reminded. It is helpful to be open about how you are still affected by reminders. As a family, you can then offer each other emotional support, through physical comfort, understanding and reassurance.
- Know that your children and adolescents notice and can be bothered by occasions when your mood changes suddenly or you act differently in response to a reminder. Let them know that you are reacting to a reminder and that it is not their fault.
- If your child feels guilty for the death or injury of others, reassure them that it was not their fault.
- Understand that anger is part of a child or adolescent's reaction to their post-trauma distress. Try to be tolerant and encourage them to talk about what is bothering them, rather than reprimanding them or telling them to be quiet. However, indicate that abusive language and violence is not allowed.
Reassure them that it was not their fault.
Being Responsive to Children's Grief
- Allow your child to talk about a lost loved one, even though this may be upsetting to you. Don't try to stop them from feeling sad, as this is a normal part of grieving. If you think that their sadness is excessive, then seek psychological counseling.
- Try to help your children remember good things about a lost friend or family member. Tell them positive things and stories that you remember about the person.
- When your children ask, don't be afraid to tell them that you are feeling sad when you are thinking about the loss of a loved one. On the other hand, try not to overwhelm your children with the responsibility of feeling like they have to take care of you
- Be open and tolerant of your child's protests over the unfairness of the loss and its impact on their lives. This will often diminish over time.
- Click here for more information about child traumatic grief
When to Seek Professional Help
Other signs that you should consider seeking help for a child or adolescent from a mental health professional include:
- Withdrawal from friends or family, lack of participation in family activities
- School refusal for a period of weeks or months, or marked deterioration in ability to concentrate leading to diminished grades
- Preoccupation with fear, grief, or guilt to the exclusion of talking or thinking about anything else
- Fear of leaving the house or doing usual activities
- Dropping out of sports or other social activities
- Isolation from peers

이 호스트의 또 다른 숙소후기
We arrived at the apartment after a long train ride and were worried as to whether it would live up to the photographs posted online. Well, it did, and more! The balcony and roof terrace were fantastic and the apartment is equipped to the standard you would expect. We couldn't fault a single point. What made the trip even better was the help we received from the Interhome representative in Vienna. We arrived in the middle of a heatwave and were having real trouble cooling the apartment down. We rung the Interhome office to enquire where we could buy some fans, only to be text back within 30 minutes with the address of a supplier whom she'd rung and confirmed stock with, along with an offer to reimburse us for the expense of buying them! Just superb service!
My wife and I will be returning to this apartment in the future - we are already planning a winter visit. The location is perfect, being just a 5 minute walk from the U4 underground line that will take you in to the heart of the city or down to Schoenbrunn without needing to change trains. The price when compared to a city centre hotel makes this unbeatable value. I really cannot recommend this apartment, or Interhome, highly enough.
As 6 girls who have never been to salou before this apartment was in the perfect location, not only was it a short drive from reus airport everything is walking distance. Supermarkets, clubs, bars, restaurant and the beach are only minutes away! The apartment was also clean and in top shape, On top of that the owner was very easy to contact and is generally a lovely and understanding man. It was a very pleasant stay.
The apartment was great, clean and plenty of room. We found that it was a little noisy at night with people outside until the early hours. Also make sure you make arrangements to meet someone as hard to negotiate Venice at the best of times and so difficult to find a place. We were supposed to meet someone to help us as I had a broken hand but they didnt turn up even after talking to them on the phone. I think out of courtesy, someone should come to take you to the apartment as it is only a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Santa Lucia Station.
The location of the apartment was amazing and our local host was a very nice lady from Siena. My girlfriend and I had a wonderful romantic time at Staffoli. Only con that I can think of is that we were charged with additional EUR 15 per person for final cleaning and EUR 10 for the internet. This, however, was known in advance.
We had a great time in Arbejales. This house is much better than in the pictures. Is in a great mountain location, 30-45 minutes to Las Palmas. The house is lovely decorated, clean and comfortable. If you are looking for absolutely silence - this is the place! Many thanks to Christian and his Family, everything was perfect.
The place was nice, except the bathroom design was awful, because the toilet is directly below the shower so it always gets wet! There is also no wifi which we were not happy about. Otherwise an ok place and ok location with good valporato links.
Location was great but the general standard of the apartment was poor.
- Quality of the furniture was poor.
- The bathroom was very poor, with broken tap, low water pressure and the switch between shower and bath not working.
- The TV signal wasn't working - only 2/3 channels
- Above stove extract not working
- Floor was quite dirty.
Needs refresh.
Très anonyme, récupérer les clés, avoir des draps, linge Wifi etc. il faut bien mettre en clair avant, surtout pas à la dernière minute. Arriver hors tard en soirée avancée complique les choses également. La gérance est confie à des professionnelles ensemble avec plusieurs autres objets en même temps. L'appartement avait été
(en pleine saison estivale) propre sur la première vue. Ça change dramatique quand on ose vraiment descendre de en haut du placard la machine à café ou autres appareils de cuisine. .
Pour contacter Trusted Partners sur le chemin on se retrouve en correspondance avec un call-center téléphonique en Pays Bas. Et pas forcement quelqu'un qui maîtrise souverainement le français. Comme j'ai vue déjà des offres multiples de Trusted Partner je conclut que c'est un groupe immobilier professionnelle derrière qui rentabilise pour leur clients leurs biens. Et pas forcement la plus professionnelle du monde.
En fait cette distance anonyme est pour mon gout trop caricaturale pour l'idée de base de WimDu. Dommage.
Unterkunft mit viel Flair. Gastgeber sehr nett und hilfsbereit, kommen ab und an fragen, ob alles okay ist. Ausstattung gut. Parkplatz/Garage am Haus - für große Fz etwas eng aber machbar. Ruhige Lage und trotzdem nicht weit zur Stadt.

Hi - I'm new on here. I have an 8 week old daughter that I've been exclusively BFing since she was born, and a 17 month old daughter (not BFing). I'm having some difficulty with her, and I'm not sure what to do so I'm hoping for some advice and encouragement from those who might have BTDT or even just have suggestions.
I started out with a major oversupply. YDD was gaining 3+oz a day the first couple weeks, which wasn't good for her because she has a fairly moderate case of reflux as well as larygomalacia (floppy windpipe). She was gaining like this even though she'd soak a burp cloth at every feeding with her spit up.
At her doctor's advice (pro BF) and also a LC's advice, we switched to nursing on one side per feeding. YDD seemed content with this, but she was still in her newborn period of sleeping a lot, so I'm not sure if she was really content or just really sleepy. She could go up to 4 hours between feedings, even nursing on one side only.
Fast-forward to today. We are still doing one-sided feedings. She latches on, nurses for about 10-15 minutes, and comes off on her own and seems content. Even if I offer her the other side, she's not interested. I'll play with her for 15-20 minutes or so, and then she starts to get fussy and act hungry. If I put her back on the same breast that she nursed on before, she gets upset, pulls off and screams. So then I end up putting her on the other, and she nurses for 10-15 minutes until she pulls off on her own, and generally falls asleep - sometimes she'll have another 15-20 minute alert play time before wanting to eat again, and then sleeping.
Then, at about 4pm, she starts this cycle of eat (awake an alert while eating), doze for 10 min, eat, doze, repeat until 9pm. She sleeps from 9-10:15ish, then wakes up acting starved. After that feeding she'll sleep for up to 5 hours, where she nurses on one side, and goes back to sleep for another 5 hours.
Now... I'm not complaining about night sleep... I'll take 5 hour stretches. And I also am aware of cluster feeding (though I didn't think it would be 5 hours of cluster feeding, straight) and would mostly be ok with it if I didn't have ODD that I'd like to spend some time with.
My main frustration/worry is that we only get such short periods of awake happy/play time. I feel like she's getting enough - I can't get her to eat more when she comes off on her own... but apparently she's not because she's hungry such a short time later. I don't think this is a growth spurt, because it's been happening for the last 4 weeks. She's still gaining quite well (about 1/2lb a week), and beyond her eating this often, I'm still able to pump about 10-12 extra oz a day (generally during that second 5 hour stretch and then after feedings during her naps during the day).
It's been recommended to me that we use a pacifier, but in the 10 different brands we've tried, she'll only suck on the Soothie, and even then it's about 5 sucks before she spits it out and cries, acting hungry again.
I'm just really frustrated... I can't really go anywhere because she's hungry every 20 minutes (2-3 times during a single grocery trip... come on!) during the day, and in the evenings when DH could possibly take her, she's cluster feeding until she falls asleep.
My ODD was similar to this (not quite as bad). We switched her to formula around 11 weeks old because between her and my food allergies/intolerances, there was just about nothing left for me to eat while I was nursing. The switch to formula was like night and day - all the sudden I had a little girl who was awake and happy for 1-2 hours. We could go places - if she did get hungry I could just give her a bottle and then we'd have another couple hours to get stuff done. She stopped hating her carseat (I'm guessing she was hungry when she was in it, so she'd scream the whole time... even if I'd just fed her)
I really don't WANT to switch to formula - BFing is so much easier/less work. And nighttimes are perfect! I just wonder if it's even good for her to be constantly hungry like that. We don't have a lot of time to interact/do developmental stuff because she's only happy for 20 min at a time.

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University's Mikal Monette has overcome a lot to return to basketball this season.
After playing two years off the bench at the University of New Mexico, the 6-foot-6, 215-pound junior post transferred to ENMU and tore his ACL just before the start of the 2004-05 season. He came back last year to average 12 points and a team-leading seven rebounds, then suffered a meniscus injury late in the regular season.
He's back and said he's ready to go as the Greyhounds prepare for a 7 p.m. exhibition game Monday against New Mexico State at the Lea County Events Center in Hobbs.
"I feel good about it," Monette said. "The surgery I had last year wasn't as major as the first one. During preseason this year, I've been trying to get my strength and quickness back.
"Right now, I feel more like I felt in midseason last year."
At his size, Monette often goes against bigger players in the post. He tries to use finesse and his ability to go outside to help compensate.
"You have to be able to think and play smarter," he said. "You have to be able to do some of the basics better than (the opponent)."
ENMU men's coach Shawn Scanlan said Monette can make a big difference for the Hounds this year if he's healthy.
"When he played well (last season), he was a guy that contributed in a lot of ways," Scanlan said.
The Hounds finished 12-16 last year, including 6-6 in the Lone Star Conference South Division. They beat Midwestern State in overtime on the road in the regular-season finale to nudge past the Mustangs and into the LSC postseason tournament.
New Mexico State, under second-year coach Reggie Theus, should give the Hounds a pretty good idea of strengths and weaknesses, Scanlan said, noting that the Aggies are picked second in the Western Athletic Conference this season behind Nevada.
"We're playing a team with as good of personnel as we'll see the rest of the year," Scanlan said. "Anytime you return players off a team that finished in the upper half of their conference, and then you bring in three transfers that are legitimate players, you have a good squad."
Monette has been able to test his knee in scrimmages against Texas junior colleges Howard and Midland, but admits Monday will provide a big challenge.
"It's going to be a good game," he said. "New Mexico State has a good team this year."
ENMU opens its regular season Nov. 17-18 in a four-team tournament at Greyhound Arena. The Hounds face Western State (Colo.) after Washburn takes on Fort Hays State in the opener, with third-place and championship games set for the following night.

In the west, we tend to think of "medicine" as a way of dealing with illness and disease. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on achieving health and wellbeing [10] through the cultivation of harmony within our lives.
TCM is based on the Chinese concept of "Qi" (pronounced "chee" and usually translated as "vital energy") and the theory of "yin and yang" (the harmony of all the opposite elements and forces that make up existence). It believes that:
In the simplest terms possible, TCM is a way of looking at ourselves and our world that sees everything as a whole and considers everything in context. In TCM this perspective is called "taking whole."
This perspective is applied to everything affecting our health and wellbeing; from our diet [11], exercise [12], and how we handle stress [13]; to how we interact with our family and friends [14], our community [15], and our environment [16].
Thus TCM not only identifies and treats illness and prevents disease but, just as importantly, optimizes health, wellbeing, and sustainability in our lives and in our world.
TCM is the official form of Chinese medicine practiced in the People's Republic of China, and is one of the many systems of medicine that can be classified as "Oriental medicine." Oriental medicine is a term that encompasses diverse medical theories and applications developed and practiced in the Far East, including China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
TCM is probably the most frequently encountered and most familiar of the Asian medical systems, and it has an extensive body of literature and research supporting it.
Today TCM is practiced throughout the world, with about 14,000 practitioners in the United States alone. As more and more people explore new ways of complementing their existing healthcare, it's not unlikely that you know someone who uses this ancient Asian system. For these reasons, TCM is an excellent starting point to learn more about complementary medical systems from Asia.
TCM is a direct descendent of one of the oldest and continuously practiced systems of medicine in the world, and can trace its roots back 2500 years. Since its inception, Chinese medicine has evolved and developed into a very sophisticated and rational system of medicine influencing and being influenced by the many cultures and systems of medicine it has come into contact with along the way.
Today Chinese medicine continues to develop in new and exciting ways and is utilized by millions of people around the world. It is truly a world class system of medicine!
To understand the context in which TCM is practiced, do the activity: Experience a Different Worldview. [17]

I am new to the boards, but I am a member of my local LLL, so I am familiar with the types of discussions.
My concern, really it is DH's, but I need some feedback to back myself up when we are discussing this.
We have one child, DD, who just turned 1 a week ago. She has never really been a big car fan, and yesterday, became rather fussy and when she does that, she won't give up until out of the car. Is this normal? I think she was bored and wanted to crawl around and play, DH was frustrated b/c we are trying to find a new house and we were going to open houses at the time. It is a "heated" discussion we get into from time to time. I told my mom I wouldn't come up for a family reunion this weekend b/c it is 3 hrs. both ways and we would have to do it in a day. I fear she would freak and we would not have fun at all, plus I don't want to do that to DD, it isn't fair.
Another concern is the way my dd goes to bed. I am still EBFing
with the addition of solids and some water. She nurses to sleep. For the longest time, I will nurse her to sleep at bedtime, she will go down and then be up again to nurse about 30-60 minutes later and then back down. Am I doing something wrong? DH is really supportive with BFing, but from time to time he will comment about how she doesn't go to bed well. I ,too, wish she wouldn't get right back up because I sometimes feel I can't do anything b/c she might wake up. Any ideas? Overall DD is a happy child, just very determined...doesn't like staying in her stroller anymore or carseat..need some tips.

Random Thoughts for a Tuesday…
A-Rod Surgery – The Day After…
By all accounts, the surgery performed on Alex Rodriguez's hip for the torn labrum by Dr. Marc J. Philippon was successful. Alex should be able to resume playing in 6-9 weeks.
Many people have questioned whether the Yanks really need to seek a replacement since A-Rod can conceivably be back in action after 23 games. I say yes, because I feel an upgrade is necessary for the long haul…not just the first 23 games of the season. Cody Ransom is labeled as a good defender, but he can't hit for average although he does have some power.
Kathy Willens/AP
I think the Yankees need someone who can fill in, provide good defense, and hit well enough to keep pitchers honest. Alex will need more rest than in years past, and more rest for Derek Jeter is probably not a bad idea as he begins the downside of his career physically-speaking.
Someone did ask A's manager Bob Geren if Bobby Crosby was being showcased at third base for the Yankees and he chuckled and replied "no". Bobby wants to play, and he probably sees third as his best option given the health of 3B Eric Chavez in recent years.
So, maybe the best deal is no deal, but I sure wish I had more faith and confidence in either Cody Ransom or Angel Berroa…
Starting in Centerfield…
Granted, Brett Gardner hasn't won the job yet, but he continues to impress in camp. On Monday, he hit this third homer of the season (which leads the team).
He continues to make things happen, and I'd be surprised to see Melky Cabrera to take the job from Gardner. It's definitely exciting to have his presence in the lineup.
Michael Kay mentioned on a recent telecast that the Yankees haven't had a weapon like this on the base paths since Homer Bush. I agree…
Italy ousts Canada
Italy defeated Canada 6-2 on Monday to eliminate the Canadians from WBC play. Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli was 0-for-3 with a walk for the Italians.
I caught Mike Piazza's comments about Cervelli this morning (no pun intended). "He's so talented back there, you can't say enough," Piazza said. "He worked hard back there. His enthusiasm, you could tell."
"His enthusiasm from the start of the game was just sky-high. He hustled. He's got an amazing arm." Piazza went on to say. "I'm jealous – in a good way – because I see player with a great future ahead of him. He's going to get better with the bat. He's going to get a little quicker."
He's not the prospect that Jesus Montero is, but he's a few years older (23) and closer to major league action. I am anxious to see competition between Cervelli and Kevin Cash (and even Jose Molina) when he returns to Yankees camp after the conclusion of the WBC.
Just as I am concerned about back up support at third, I have the same concerns at catcher given Jorge Posada's age and his return from injury last season. At this point of his career, Jorge is not going to improve and will only continue to deteriorate. It remains to be seen if he can continue to perform at the level he's been accustomed to, but the odds are against it. Jorge needs a solid backup who can spell him on occasion. Perhaps it is Jose Molina, but I do feel that when you look at the players with greatest odds for getting hurt, Jorge is at or near the top. Therefore, if Cervelli can continue to take his play to a higher level, he'll have a say in the Yanks' backup catching plans.
Odds and Ends
Mike Mussina was a visitor to Yankees camp today, and true to form, doesn't regret the decision to retire. He also turned down Manager Joe Girardi's offer to wear a uniform for the day.
Chris McGrath/Getty Images
Moose was a class act, and he'll be missed. He was, at times, misunderstood, but I always thought he was honest and straightforward.
I saw Jake Peavy's quote earlier in the week, and I am definitely glad that the Red Sox never became his destination. "Boston was a place that I told the Padres I would certainly be interested in playing," Peavy said Monday at the Team USA workout. "I don't know if there were any talks. I gave the Padres a list and Boston was on that list. Boston was a place I told the Padres I would be interested in playing at. Set that straight for sure." Yikes! To borrow the old adage, sometimes the best deal is the deal never made! J
With the plethora of evidence building up against him, when is Roger Clemens going to come clean and admit steroids use? For a guy I used to consider a hero, I am so disappointed…
I liked Randy Johnson's description of Tim Lincecum as the fourth Jonas brother…
Okay, I find the headline of "U.S. teammate Dustin Pedroia thinks World of Derek Jeter" to be very disturbing! There's way too much love going around. "They go at it constantly," Chipper Jones said of Jeter and Pedroia. "It's fun when Yankees and Red Sox go at each other, because you know they're going to hate each other in a month." Whew! I needed that perspective. Thanks Chipper! I was starting to get this visual image of Yankees and Red Sox players hugging each other and trading high 5's before games…

Scott – shouldn't there be lots of "love" between the Red Sox and Yankees?😉 I too think the Yankees would be wise to pick up some insurance for third base. Anything can happen during recovery and if I read the article correctly, isn't there a 10-15% chance that A-Rod won't make it through the season without further work needing to be done on the hip? And the Rocket. I don't even know where to begin. Obviously we Boston fans do have great memories of his time here, but now? He just makes me sick.
Great post, Scott. You covered a lot of ground there! FYI – Melky isn't playing in the WBC. He decided not to, so he could try to win the CF job with the Yanks. He was in the lineup a few times when I was in spring training (maybe I should have done better reporting!). It's a tough call for Girardi b/c Gardner is clearly the more versatile player, but Melky's got that gun of an arm. In tonight's game against the Reds, Gardner misplayed a ball to dead center and Melky probably would have had it. I agree about the need for some insurance at third. While Ransom is more than adequate, I'm not wild about Berroa's defense. But the good news is that Joba had a great outing tonight. Whew.
Lincecum = Jonas brother. Priceless. As for Moose… indeed, the class of the Yankees.

Woman discovers maggots living in her ear
Rochelle Harris could 'feel and hear' bugs moving around in her head
A British woman discovered that the scratching noises she was hearing in her head were actually maggots living inside her ear.
27-year-old Rochelle Harris returned from a vacation in Peru, where she remembers picking a fly out of her ear. She didn't think much of it until she started getting headaches and pains down one side of her face once she returned to England, reports Thomson Reuters.
Harris figured it was a simple ear infection and went to the hospital, but once there, doctors discovered flesh-eating maggots inside a small hole in her ear-canal.
"I was very scared. Were they in my brain?" said Harris, recounting her ordeal in a new Discovery Channel documentary series called "Bugs, Bites and Parasites" to be aired in the UK from July 21.
Doctors resorted to surgery to remove the insects and found a total of eight maggots. Analysis found that a New World Army Screw Worm fly had laid eggs inside Harris's ear.

Beautiful girls and nice outfits!
XO thefashionguitar
I lvoe the transparences and the prints…It's so Kane style the fiorst look!
Very nice! During my last trip to Rio, I was amazed by how good most people looked. Rio has its own style, like Paris, Milan, London or NYC do. It's a style that is constantly renewing and constantly assimilating foreign influence (in that respect, it is more like Paris, Milan or NYC than London but it is more dressed down than either Paris or NYC).
It is definitely a Latin style, too, very much like other Latin countries (France, Italy, perhaps Spain or Portugal). I was definitely charmed. People in Rio made me think of from Rome or the French Riviera, in more ways than one.
There are excellent designer too, though they don't have the technical ability of Paris / France / Italy or the marketing power of the UK / US yet!
I really wanted to buy a polo from a local brand (forgot to) or those shoes that fold & are very colourful… If someone could tell me the name, it would be much appreciated!
wow! they are so different but both so beautiful!
LINDAS!!!! (beautiful)

A holistic approach with no compromises.
The performance envelope of these sensational new drive units is so generous that the signal needs minimal intermediation – simple first order crossovers are all that's required, as you can tell from the transparency of the sound and the inaudibly fluent transitions.
You can see KEF's legendary attention to detail everywhere. Gold plated bi-wire terminals for the clearest possible signal transmission, for example. Or the spikes on the floorstanders – they're adjustable from the top instead of the bottom to make levelling easier. Thoughtful touches.
As you might expect from a company of perfectionists, we see more to the ownership experience than simply luxuriating in the best possible sound. We think about the environment too. When you unpack your new Q speakers, you'll find that the packaging that protects them is ecologically sound. Because the crossover circuit boards are smaller, the materials impact is reduced.
And when you admire their sumptuous finish – in Black Oak, English Cherry or European Walnut – you can do so in the knowledge that what looks like a fine exotic hardwood veneer is in fact recycled wood fibre. This total design approach is another aspect of the difference with KEF. It's all about weaving truly great sound into the fabric of the lives we live now.

And, using the disguise of the holocaust OR slave labor as his motivation is not an excuse for bad art. In fact, it is shameful--but dare anyone attack it, they will be called anti-semantic.
If this is what the Mary Nohl Foundation considers a good waste of money, perhaps they should put her old property back on the tax rolls to help reduce taxes in the North Shore. I sure as "H E double L" don't see this as supporting an up and coming artist!

JP Morgan commodity chief Blythe Masters leaving bank
Blythe Masters, JP Morgan Chase's high-profile commodities chief, is resigning following the announced sale of the bank's physical-commodity unit, according to an internal memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
"Blythe Masters has informed us of her intention to leave the firm, take some well-deserved time off and consider future opportunities," according to the memo, which was signed by JP Morgan chief executive James Dimon and Daniel Pinto, chief executive of JP Morgan's investment bank.
JP Morgan last month struck a $3.5 billion deal to sell its unit that handles the physical trading of oil, natural gas and metals to Swiss trading house Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. Wall Street banks have been shedding commodity assets amid heightened scrutiny from regulators.
Masters will stay with the bank through the next few months to assist with the transition of the business, the memo said. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.
JP Morgan is keeping desks that trade financial derivatives tied to physical commodities, a unit that Masters oversaw. New leadership for that unit will be announced soon, according to the memo.
Masters began her 27-year career at JP Morgan as an intern. Before leading the commodities group, she was chief financial officer of the investment bank and head of various credit businesses.
Masters is one of the top women on Wall Street and is often credited with inventing credit default swaps, financial products that allow investors to trade the risk associated with debt securities.
She came under scrutiny last year by government power regulators, who accused her of making false statements in the course of an investigation into the bank's trading in electricity markets. The bank paid a $410 million fine to settle the power case, but no charges were brought against Masters or other individual employees.

For much of the offseason at Winona (Minn.) State University, Chase Blazier spent time working on a pitch he has yet to throw in a baseball game.
"I worked all through the fall on a circle changeup," said Blazier, a Harvard graduate. "But I was throwing it so it was sort of like a screwball."
Blazier already had a "split change" in his repertoire, which he said has the action of a split-finger fastball, dropping rapidly as it nears the batter, while maintaining the slower velocity of a changeup.
"I wasn't throwing the [circle changeup] very well, so a week before our first game, I went back to the split change," he said.
For Blazier, a sophomore who pitched last season at McHenry County College, the pitch has paid impressive dividends this spring.
In three starts for NCAA Division II Winona, Blazier is 3-0 with a 1.06 ERA for the Warriors (6-6).
"It's been totally unexpected," Blazier said. "I've just been pounding the (strike) zone, and I've had a really good defense behind me."
Blazier's control has been impressive. In 17 innings, he has not allowed a walk while striking out 10 batters.
"I've always believed in myself, but I am a little surprised," Blazier said. "I didn't think I'd start out this way."
Blazier credited his one season at MCC with improving his mental approach to pitching.
"Just being at the college level really helps you mature," he said. "I was a bit of a hothead in high school."
One visit to the mound from MCC coach Jared Wacker helped Blazier amend his ways.
"In my second or third game, I got a little upset," Blazier said. "Things weren't going my way. Jared came out and told me to knock that stuff off."
Blazier said he now takes note when he sees others lose their composure.
"Now I see guys from other schools that we play doing it," he said.
While Blazier has been a model of efficiency on the mound, he credited Winona's coaches with getting the most from their pitching staff in workouts.
"I like the way we conduct our practices," he said. "At most schools, the pitchers are there with the hitters and we just sit around. Here, we get in, we do our work and we get out. It's streamlined. You don't come in and do [a drill], then sit around for 40 minutes before you do something else."
Red-hot Huskie Youelle: NIU freshman women's tennis player Nelle Youel improved to 16-0 this season at No. 1 singles with a straight-set victory Wednesday in the Huskies' 7-0 win at Emporia (Kan.) State.
The victory helped NIU improve to 14-2, which is the most dual-meet wins in a season since 1997. In that season, the Huskies finished 15-9.
Youel, a Crystal Lake Central graduate, also won at No. 1 doubles in Kansas to improve to 15-1 in doubles with teammate Arantza De La Torre.
Super Ranger Slivka: Johnsburg grad Danielle Slivka was named a second-team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference choice in women's basketball this season.
A junior forward at D-II Wisconsin-Parkside, Slivka led the Rangers (20-9) with 7.4 rebounds a game while contributing 8.7 points a game. Slivka was Parkside's leading rebounder in 19 games and had a season-best 12 rebounds Feb. 21 against Saint Joseph's College.
Parkside earned an NCAA tournament bid this season for the fourth consecutive year. The Rangers are a No. 7 seed in an eight-team regional this weekend in Ashland, Ohio.
Oakland honoree Jacoby: Prairie Ridge grad Nolan Jacoby was named Summit League Baseball Player of the Week on Monday after batting .385 last week for D-I Oakland (Mich.) University.
Jacoby, a senior catcher for the Golden Grizzlies, went 4 for 5 with three doubles in a 6-4 victory March 9 against Ohio. Jacoby had two runs scored in the win and drove in a run.
For the week, he posted four doubles and a .692 slugging percentage.
Jacoby, who also has seen time at first base this season, is batting .263 with a team-high six doubles for Oakland (2-8).
Goalie Dierking recognized: D-III Lake Forest College junior women's hockey goaltender Stacey Dierking was named an honorable mention All-Northern Collegiate HockeyAssociation selection last month.
Dierking, a Crystal Lake Central grad, had a 12-5 record in goal and a .938 save percentage for the Foresters (15-7-4). She had a 1.71 goals-against average.

STEUBENVILLE – Visiting Judge Tom Lipps ruled Friday that Trent Mays, 17, of Bloomingdale is a Class II sex offender requiring him to report his address to the sheriff where he lives every 180 days for 20 years.
Mays was found delinquent of a charge of rape in connection with an incident involving an underage girl in August. He also was found delinquent of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for having a picture of the 16-year-old victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone. He was sentenced to a minimum of one year in a Department of Youth Services facility on each charge to be served consecutively.
A hearing for co-defendant Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville was continued because of motions filed by his attorney, Walter Madison.
Mays underwent an assessment at a DYS center several weeks after his trial. Attorney Marianne Hemmeter of the Ohio Attorney General's Office said the assessment showed Mays had no remorse for his actions. But May's attorney, Adam Nemann, said Mays didn't know he was undergoing an assessment at DYS when a doctor asked him to open up about the incident.
"You are talking about a child who doesn't know how to express himself like an adult," Nemann said.
Hemmeter said Mays manipulated the victim afterwards by saying he cared for her and then joked about her through text messages to friends.
"Here is a smart boy, a good student, quarterback of the football team. He is still blaming the victim," Hemmeter said.
Hemmeter wanted Mays to have a lifetime sex offender reporting requirement. Nemann wanted Mays to have the least restrictive reporting requirement of once a year for 10 years.
Nemann said Lipps took the middle ground with the Tier II ruling.
The victim's mother read a statement to Lipps asking Mays be given a lifetime sex offender reporting requirement.
"We realize that we have no choice but to accept the light sentence awarded to these boys, but we strongly feel that Trent Mays made a very conscious choice to publicly shame my daughter by posting and sending pornographic pictures of her unconscious body to the public. My child's name and face will forever remain attached to his crime because of his actions. Since this crime, she has endured countless ridiculing comments from all public avenues that have caused her great pain and stress. This will never leave my daughter, therefore it should never leave him," the mother said.

This past weekend, J.K. Rowling announced the creation of Pottermore, a new online Harry Potter community for fans of Harry Potter novels or online communities (but not both). Features of the site will include the ability for users to choose their own "magical" username, and a quiz that promises to sort each user into the appropriate Hogwarts' House.
Oh great. The wiener house.Beyond that, how extensive this community experience will be is still unclear. A feature list has been provided (see below), but it's pretty light on details, especially on the community features. So a single chatroom with "magicy" fonts isn't outside the realm of possibility. Then imagine 10,000 kids and 70,000 sexual predators simultaneously typing in exclamation points shaped like lightning bolts and you should have a pretty clear idea of what to expect. Horribly punctuated shrieking is just one reflection of the problem inherent with all online communities -- the online community itself. A fanbase is a wonderful thing to have when it's out "there" somewhere. Really anywhere but "here." But Rowling might be in for a shock once the real world starts to get involved with her perfect little clockwork universe when she realizes a universal truth: The real world is full of jerks. Because those jerks love reading about themselves, and because I'm desperate to please, I've summarized a list of ways these fellows will jerk up, down, and all around in this Pottermore thing when it eventually comes online later this summer.
As mentioned above, the feature list for Pottermore looks a little weak thus far. The main user experience is centered around "Moments" which appear to be images of famous Harry Potter locations, featuring links to material written by Rowling that sheds more light on parts of the HP universe. If that all sounds a little disappointing, that's because it's basically the same feature set as Microsoft Encarta 93. Beyond the remedial multimedia experience, there will supposedly be a few interactive portions of the site, though it's still thin gruel. There will be a place for little wizards and witches to submit their own comments, drawings and content, and otherwise interact with the community. Users are also promised the ability to make potions, get in duels and participate in anything else which can be reasonably coded in Flash in a couple hours. Basically, don't look for any gameplay deeper or more complex than what you could find on the side of a Happy Meal that's already been filled in. This is the first big project Rowling has announced since she finished the series, and for it to be a Web 0.4 dumping ground for her to shovel all the notes and trimmings not good enough for her novels is a little insulting.* Expect a heavy portion of the "community experience" to be varying rephrasings of "this sux0rz." *Although as a word-shoveler myself, I will admit to a certain professional envy. I doubt I could attract much interest in a website built around the text file I keep full of unusable Scrooge McDuck incest jokes.
#4: Griefing
If you've got the same neuro-chemical imbalances I do, you'll have flagged the potential for dueling as the most interesting thing in the announced feature list. At least unless it's implemented as a kind of clumsy version of Pong where you bounce "hexes" back and forth with your "wands," which now that I'm nearly done this sentence, feels like it probably will be. But if there is real, player vs. player dueling enabled, a whole realm of emergent-gameplay opportunities open up that can be used to wreck everything for everyone. We already know how this will play out -- wrecking a community isn't a new hobby, not since the Vikings invented player-killing in the eighth century. Here's a summary of existing griefing techniques, loosely adapted to ruin muggle fun. Friendly Fire Jerks will hex users in the back, while they're in the feast hall, shopping in Diagon Alley or begging to please stop hexing them, because they're only eight-years old. Spawn Camping Jerks lurking in the woods outside Hogwart's Castle, hexing new witches and wizards as they get off the Hogwarts Express. "Why are you doing that?" they yell. "I am Emily's mother, and you are ruining my daughter's fun!" Owl Fucking Again, this will depend on the flexibility of the Pottermore engine, but in a manner similar to teabagging in Halo, if it is possible for an avatar to look like it's fucking someone's owl, there will be about a thousand people doing that at all times.

For the third time in a month, a Hawaii prisoner has died behind bars.
Department of Public Safety officials are not the only ones asking questions Tuesday night. So are concerned community members.
Mark Davis Jr. was found dead in his cell at the Oahu Community Correctional Center just after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was alone at the time and not with the general population because of his past criminal history, according to the Department of Public Safety.
As a teenager, Davis was committed to the Hawaii State Hospital, by reason of insanity, for raping and killing a 6-year-old Puna girl.
While at the hospital he also assaulted a staff member -- that last attack landed him in jail.
His death comes just over a week after authorities said Ikaika Andrade committed suicide, while being held at OCCC.
A month ago, Darius Puni-Mau also killed himself, while at the Halawa Correctional Facility.
"I've never seen two prison suicides and an unattended death happen so close together. It is disturbing," said Kat Brady, with Community Alliance on Prisons.
Davis was under maximum custody, according to Public Safety officials, but no one saw what happened at the time of his death.
The department has been under fire recently because of staffing shortages of correctional guards and overcrowding of inmates.
Too few guards meant some services at prisons were reduced.
Some worry deteriorating living conditions for inmates and a lack of needed services could make prisoners worse.
"We're putting people in prison and they are in sub-human conditions. That is not the way to correct behavior," said Brady.
In the past two months, a prisoner also died at the hands of other inmate.
In March, authorities said Joseph Tui Junior beat 76-year-old Cyrl Chung to death inside their cell at OCCC.
These recent events raise concern that a prison sentence turned into a death sentence for some Hawaii inmates.
"The whole thing is heartbreaking for those who want to see real justice happen and real reform happen," added Brady.
The medical examiner is expected to determine Davis' cause of death on Wednesday.

One of my favourites cities: it has such as names as many experiences I could live in itIn euskera language its name is Donostia, and it's commisioned Donostia San Sebastían. The common way to name the city is Donosti, but other people prefer to call it the city of the shell, because of its beach, and by others, it is the spanish Burdeos. I prefer think in it simply as my city.
When I'm enjoying the city, I'm living at the same time the best of the spanish culture and the basque culture. I meet with my friends, we go out before the usual meeting hour, and choose our favourite place to take some pinchos and the night starts there. It is a different way to live, because you are feeling the european style from the border with France too.
I usually go to San Sebastian once per month, or more if I can. There I meet with my friends Amaia and Marta, who live in the old part of the city, a pleasure for those who are going out from Madrid, where everything is composed of big buildings, noises and lights. I feel I need to escape from the capital and switch off, so I take the bus a soon as I can.
I know… I'm chaotic. I never know what to pick up, and the wheather in Donosti is very inconstant. Maybe it's raining all the day or maybe you are looking amazing at the streets with your new sunglases because of the shining sun. So, I have to take a big baggage in which I put a lot of things: from jeans to sequins slippers, that I really love.
The last time I arrived at San Sebastían, my friends were waiting for me at the bus station with a big banner that said: Let's go for pinchos, Lucia!. I am a very polite person so… c'mon, let's go. They know that signature cuisine is one of my weaknesses, so, we always start at La Cuchara de San Telmo, a wonderland place.
After being there, everything tastes different for me. But keep the good spirit alive and let's listen to music at mythical Bukowski, with Kursal illuminated at the background. Are there better views? Yes, of course, Monte Urgull, but it's better to come up by day… the night is young.
I like the clothing style of Donosti's women, they're stylish. They keep between seasons looks if it rains during the year. Trench is the top garment there. And I didn't forget it, there are two in my bag, one of them beige, and the other is military green, I love this last. Of the Donosti's guys I prefer don't talk about, I reserve for my privacy.
Next morning we're all tired. But there is a lot of things to do, so, let's go shopping. We raze Donosti everytime I go. Shopping make me crazy, I always find something I like. The Boulevard or Cathedral surroundings have killing things.
And like this, shopping, going out by night, rest for a minutes (without a spanish siesta my body doesn't stand during the night!) and take a good pinchos or take a coffee looking at La Concha, a beach to rest rest for a moment and don't wake up until the next morning (but, be well wrapped, it's cold)… my stay for a weekend flies.
And when I wanna be conscious, I take the bus to Madrid again, going back to the week by week routine, and I feel sad to have to go. In this moment, Marta and Amaia have another banner that says: We're waiting to you for the next!. I smile and send them a big kiss. I know I'll be back as soon as I could, and everything will begin again in a perfect city.
