Detailed Description:
NAFLD is a poorly understood disease which may cause an enlarged liver, abnormal liver test results, and scarring of the liver. It may occur more often in people with obesity, high levels of cholesterol (blood fats), diabetes (high blood sugar), or the insulin resistance syndrome (where a person's body does not respond to the hormone insulin which helps keep blood sugar levels normal). Currently, no effective drug treatment for NAFLD exists. There is increasing evidence that NAFLD may be a condition due to a problem with metabolism (the way your body uses energy). Previous studies have shown that high glucose (sugar) levels may play an important role in the development of fatty liver disease. Medications that decrease your natural glucose level may reduce the amount of fat in the liver and, therefore, might be useful in the treatment of NAFLD. Metformin, a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with diabetes, has been shown to improve fatty liver in animals and in a small number of human beings.

Tacos and tradition: Chief Sealth's Carne Asada Bowl coming up on Friday
Freshly cooked carne asada tacos and a game of fast-paced high school soccer are on tap for Friday, May 3 at the Southwest Athletic Complex as Chief Sealth's varsity team takes on the Seattle World School in the 7th Annual Carne Asada Bowl.
Here are the details from Chief Sealth's Athletics Dept:
On behalf of school principal's Chris Kinsey and Martin O'Callaghan and head coaches Ron Johnson and Juan Torres, it's my pleasure to invite you all to enjoy the fun and festivities that surround the 7th Annual Carne Asada Bowl! The game is scheduled for Friday, May 3rd at 4pm at Southwest Athletic Complex (across the street from Sealth). This free event features top-notch soccer, friendly rivalry, a festive atmosphere and some great food.
John Boyd, a former principal of both schools, came up with the idea years ago as a way to unite two communities that share much in common – many of our past and current Chief Sealth players have transitioned into high school through the Seattle World School (formerly the BOC) – and celebrate soccer as a diverse, worldwide sport. The winning team will take home a nearly 5-foot trophy (which has proudly lived at Chief Sealth the past two years ).
Be there by 3:45 to be on hand for the starting lineups and music played by the Chief Sealth Mariachi Band led by Jorge Morales, and stay late to enjoy a feast of all feasts featuring carne asada prepared by Sealth's own Delfino Munoz and a myriad of sides graciously donated by Sealth soccer parents and supporters.

Group in need of sponsors for college tour
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 2:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 2:23 p.m.
Men of Honor United is in need of sponsors to help the boys and teens it serves to tour colleges in Tallahassee.
What: Men of Honor United, a mentoring group for boys and teens ages 5-17.
When: 11 a.m.-1 p.m. or 1-3 p.m. Saturdays.
Where: T.B. McPherson Recreation Center, 1717 SE 15th St.
Miscellaneous: No cost to join; enrollment open year-round.
Information: Call 352-870-3787, 352-642-4478 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The group is dedicated to enriching the lives of boys and teens ages 5-17 through tutoring, motivational workshops and other activities and by exposing them to things outside of their community. It was founded in 2010 by Jasmine Gordon, a parent coordinator at Gainesville Home Instruction of Parents of Preschool Youngsters, or HIPPY. There is no cost associated with joining and enrollment is open throughout the year.
The Men of Honor College Enrichment Tour scheduled for May 25-26 will visit Florida A&M University and Florida State University, both in Tallahassee.
Gordon said the group has 14 members, with six active members going on the trip. She said the group needs assistance with food, gas, hotel accommodations for up to two nights and a visit to a museum or other cultural site in Tallahassee. Prospective sponsors can mail their donations made payable to Men of Honor United to Men of Honor, 4000 SW 47th St., Lot H22, Gainesville, FL 32608.
"We want to take the young men on this tour to expose them to colleges and to show them something different," said Gordon. "This will be our first college tour with them and we are hoping they come away with a stronger desire to do well in school and we also hope that some of them who might not be interested in going to college will become interested in going to college."
President Derrick Alston of Gainesville said the group meets at different locations, but primarily at the T.B. McPherson Recreation Center at 1717 SE 15th St. from either 11 a.m.-1 p.m. or 1-3 p.m. on Saturdays.
Alston said the group has toured the Alachua County jail to show its members what life is like behind bars in order to discourage them from a life of crime.
"We also tutor them, teach them how to speak properly in public and the importance of having structure in their lives," he said.
In addition to the college tour, upcoming events will include a visit to Kanapaha Memorial Park in southwest Gainesville on June 15, an arts and crafts day on June 29 at Smokey Bear Park in northeast Gainesville, and an ice cream celebration on July 13 at Westside Park in northwest Gainesville.
Gordon said God gave her the vision for the group in 2008, but she didn't start it until 2010.
"I've always loved young people, but God personally told me to start Men of Honor and to focus on young men in order to empower them and encourage them to accomplish their dreams," she said.
Gordon said the group wants to have a bigger impact on its members' lives by having them shadow men in the community on their jobs. She believes that giving group members a chance to see men who look like them succeeding in careers will help them to realize they can be successful as well.

Two 18-year-olds charged with shooting
Police: Pair fired shots into busy neighborhood
WILLIAMSTON, MARTIN COUNTY - Two 18-year-olds have been charged after police say they fired shots into a busy neighborhood.
Police say on October 23 at about 11:30 am, they were called to the 200 block of Wilson St. for a shots fired call. They identified Treante Kwamame Howard and Wynton Marcellus McGhee as the shooters.
A man who asked to have his identity concealed says he was outside moments before the shots rang out. "If I had been just a little hesitant in getting out of my car I might have been right in the line of fire also," he said.
The man says about 20 seconds after he went inside the shooting began. "It was so profound that I was ducking in my house because I didn't know if they were gonna come through the walls," he said.
Residents told Newschannel 12 bullets hit multiple cars and homes. One bullet traveled through a wall and into the bedroom of a young girl. Her parents say the bullet went clear through her mattress. Luckily, she was not home at the time.
People we spoke with said the area is full of drug and gang activity. "Everybody knows the problem. But nobody wants to be a part of solving the problem," said the witness. "Something has to be done in the way of giving them a chance or giving them some hope other than just locking them up and turning them back out."
Residents say the area used to be known as the "Snake Pit" because illegal activity was so common.
The community is asked to attend their "Community Solidarity Day", which has taken place going on ten years. It's an opportunity for community members to discuss problems in the area, especially pertaining to their youth. It will be held on Wilson St., between Pearl and Martin Luther King Dr. in Williamston this coming Monday.
Howard and McGhee both have first appearances scheduled for Monday. They are facing 6 charges each. They include 2 Counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill, 1 Count of Discharging a Firearm into Occupied Property, 2 Counts of Injury to Personal Property and 1 Count of Injury to Real Property.

I'm writing this so I can keep my thoughts together. I'm going to try to keep all my costs documented. A quick background... I've been a Fett fan since I was a kid (40 now). I started to make a scratch costume many years a go, but did not have the money, skill, or ambition to see it through. This time I'll get it done. I am a also a gun nut. I have been teaching firearms for a little while and have some armorer experience. For job reasons, I have carried a gun to work for over 10 years now. Because of that, I want this build to have some real world logic to it. I know it's sci fi, but it's just the way my brain is wired anymore.
This costume is for me. I don't have any current plans to join the 501st or Mandalore Mercs.
Costs to date:
Helmet-Lonewolf Executioner Helmet $190
Jumpsuit-Blue nomex Flightsuit $6.
Vest and neck seal-$80

Backpack-$100 (DIY pack and army radio pack)
Sash or girth belt-OD 550 Cord $5.

Paints used:
Rustoleum primer for plastics.
Rustoleum camo flat black.
Rustoleum camo brown.
Rustoleum camo tan.
Rustoleum flat brown.
Rustoleum Aluminum.
Testors dark green
Testors metallic silver
Testors flat black
I am starting this build with the following concepts in mind. I am planning a modern Mandalore suit with a light/medium armor hybrid. I will be using similar Jango/Boba Fett patterns, decals and color schemes. I would like this to pass as an alternative suit that may have been in Boba Fett's closet. The suit will have its own history and damage, so I'll be starting with non-damaged armor. I would like to use dull earth tones for the colors. I want the suit to be modular. I will have a backpack eventually, possibly a jet pack, but I'll be starting out with no pack. I will be using an old west-style serape cape covering. The serape will be patterned after ones Clint Eastwood used as the man with no name.
I plan to purchase cheap DIY items and put things together to test colors and fit. I'd like to follow it up with upgrades to more canon accurate pieces as money allows. What I replace will go toward a play suit for my son.
I am planning to have a small arsenal of weapons. First weapon will be a long gun. The first thing I'll be doing is modifying a Nerf Rayven. It will have a barrel extension, scope, and laser. I have a sling in mind that will work similarly to one of the pre-production Boba Fett blasters. I'm also going to be adding LED read outs for the side. I'm hoping to make the LEDs and laser trigger-activated. I plan to make a dart or arrow attachment to go into the barrel.
The build will include a Westar pistol for a sidearm. Probably going to get a Rubies pistol and paint it for now.
I also have a Hasbro E-33 blaster I'll be repainting. Resin replacements may follow these.
Nerf Rayven:
I have sanded down all Nerf logos and safety markings. I have also sanded down the digital camo molded into the sides of the gun. I have began to prime the barrel extension (Rustoleum primer for plastics). I will be adding a medium gray next, then a metallic silver layer.
Scored a used navy blue nomex flight suit for $6. Fit is perfect for me. I'm taking the pockets off and going to try to bleach it or hang it in the sun to lighten it up a bit.
Bought a trash can from Walmart to test possible armor design ($2.97). Also purchased the LED car accent lights for the side of the Rayven ($12.97).
I am hoping to find a used USGI shelter half this weekend for use as a serape.
That is everything up to this point. More to follow...

Mark Kurlansky Explains How 'Dancing In The Street' Got People Moving
The Martha and the Vandellas song "Dancing in the Street" was originally supposed to be a summer dance hit. But then the 1960's happened, and the song took on a whole new meaning. Author Mark Kurlansky wrote a new book about the song, called Ready for a Brand New Beat: How "Dancing in the Street" Became the Anthem for a Changing America.
This segment originally aired on July 10, 2013.
Interview Highlights
Mark Kurlansky, his choice to focus on "Dancing in the Street" as a singular focus:
It seems to me that the history of this song was a great example of two things. First of all, it was a great example of why songs are important. And it also is a great example of how the great R&B and great rock 'n' roll that came out the sixties — whether it meant to or not — had everything to do with what was going on with black rights.
On how "Dancing in the Street" took on a different meaning from its original intent:
Here's this song, and it's about dancing and a party and having a good time. And Martha Reeves will tell you to this day, that's what the song's about. But right about the time this song first came out was the first Black inner city explosion in Harlem — with many more to follow — so that every summer at the approach of summer, everybody talked about, "Is this going to be a long, hot summer?" This feeling of dread — what's going to happen this summer? Here's this song. It says, "Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the street." And then, it goes on and lists all of these cities with important Black communities.
On how the movie Sister Act 2 and the Black Power movement used "Dancing in the Street" in a similar way:
[Whoopi Goldberg] plays a Vegas singer hiding out as a nun. She's trying to raise money for the school glee club. So she has this rally and what do they do? They play "Dancing in the Street." And everybody forks over money. In a strange way, that's the truth about this song. This song will get people on their feet and get them moving for whatever your cause is. The Whoopie Goldberg character in this movie uses this song in the exact same way that H. Rap Brown did for Black Power rallies.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer,Almost everything you own and use for personal or investment purposes is a capital asset. When a capital asset is sold, the difference between the basis in the asset and the amount it is sold for is a capital gain or a capital loss.
The gain on the sale will be a short term gain and will be subject to capital gains tax.
Is there any way to reduce the cost or a way around it such as a property exchange?
In addition, high income taxpayers may have a 3.8% unearned income Medicare contribution tax applied to their capital gains and other net investment income.
You could do a 1031 exchange. This would defer the gain till the replacement proeprty was disposed of.
Disposed of? What is the current capital gains tax rate?
Disposed of (ie; sold)
In my situation I would have to pay taxes on the potential 40K in profit?
The rates are dependent on your filing status and income. Short term rates are taxed at your regular rate.
That is correct. It is the gain (difference in basis and sale price ) that is taxable
Thank you you have been very helpful.
You are most welcome

Don't let a cite checking project overwhelm you - Research Services Librarians are here to help! Also, when writing your note, you can meet one-one-one with a Librarian to discuss resources and strategies. Here are all the ways you can get research help:
- Come to the Research Services desk - here are our hours.
- Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com - we will reply asap during Research Services hours.
- Call us at 216-687-6877 - if you need to leave a message, we will reply asap during Research Service hours.
- From the Law Library home page, click on our Chat with a Librarian icon, during Research Services hours.
- Schedule a one-on-one Research Consultation.
Research, Database Training & Sub-Citing Sessions
In addition to providing individual research assistance, Law Librarians conduct group research, database training, and sub-citing sessions for journal editors, associates, and staff members. These sessions sharpen research skills and help students make more efficient use of their time while on a journal. Topics include administrative law research, legislative history research, health law research, interdisciplinary research (eg, social sciences research), Lexis Advance/Westlaw refreshers, and a variety of library tips and techniques. To set up a session, contact Laura Ray ( firstname.lastname@example.com; 216-687-6880) or Amy Burchfield (email@example.com; 216-687-6885).
Cite Checking & Writing Resources
Some key guides to help you:
- Citation Checking Guide
- Finding Articles in Law Reviews and Journals
- Scholarly Writing Resource Guide
- Administrative Law Guide
- Center for Health Law and Policy Guide
- International Law guide
For a complete listing of the research guides the Law Library provides, see this alphabetical list.
Cite Checking Article Copy & Preview Services
Copy of articles to be part of a journal's cite checking process/event should be provided to the Law Library to help students with their cite checking assignments, as well as initiate our Cite Checking Preview (CCP) service.
By having a full copy of an article available, students doing cite checking assignments are able to refer to sections of that article that may not have been given to them, thereby providing potential clues for their assignments. Electronic copy of cite checking process/event articles should be sent to Jon Elias (email@example.com).
The Law Library's CCP service streamlines the cite checking process by identifying items for which it may be difficult to obtain hard copy, allowing student cite checkers to concentrate on the form and substance of citations. Our CCP service identifies CSU campus resources for items, suggests online alternatives to print resources, helps to identify sources that may have to be gathered by interlibrary loan or be difficult to obtain without the author's help, as well as recommends visits to other libraries for selected resources. At least three weeks prior to the start of a student cite checking process/event, journal editors should send electronic copy of articles for the CCP service to email@example.com. A Research Services Librarian will then contact the submitting journal editor to acknowledge receipt of the article and set a CCP service completion date.
Journal editors and associates can use photocopiers in the Law Library Reserve area for photocopying journal sources. Ask for the appropriate Journal photocopier account number at the Information Services desk. If you have questions, contact Jon Elias (216-687-2483; email@example.com ).
Reserve Shelves
The Information Services department provides C|M|Law journals shelf space for materials obtained from the Law Library, CSU Michael Schwartz Library, OhioLINK, and Interlibrary Loan. These shelves help keep materials for cite checking centrally located, so all editors and staff members have easy access to needed resources.
Journal shelves are located in the Reserve area behind the Information Services Desk. Journal members are welcome to come back and peruse materials on their journal shelf at any time. Materials from the journal shelves can also be checked out to individuals for a brief circulation period but must remain in the law library.
For more information on journal Reserve shelves, contact Jon Elias (216-687-2483; firstname.lastname@example.com).
Special Borrowing Privileges
Journal editors and associates are eligible for special borrowing privileges with the Law Library. These privileges allow one to check out materials through the law library, Michael Schwartz library, and Ohio Link institutions. Each Journal has their own library account to request materials throungh Scholar and Ohio Link. Current journal members can obtain this account information by contacting the information services desk (216-687-2250) or Jon Elias (216-687-2483; email@example.com).
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
The Law Library participates in interlibrary loan networks which help us to locate and obtain materials - including books and journal articles - for cite checking. When the Library has identified the existence of items through OhioLINK or in local collections, journal students are asked to borrow or use materials directly from those sources. If not available locally or through OhioLINK, the Law Library will attempt to obtain needed materials from the closest or most inexpensive sources. Interlibrary loan borrowing or photocopy fees are not charged to journal students. ILL requests usually take a week or more to fill, so please plan accordingly.
To make an ILL request, use the online form below or stop by the Information Services Desk. [Use your C|M|Law username & password to connect to the form.]
Interlibrary Loan Request Form
If you have questions about Interlibrary Loan, contact Tom Hurray (216) 687-2250; firstname.lastname@example.com).
Assistance with Contacting Other Libraries
Law Librarians can contact other libraries across the country on your behalf. We can assist with locating materials, verifying citations, tracking down references, negotiating borrowing privileges, and more. Don't hesitate to ask us to contact another library for you during the cite checking or note writing process.
Assistance with Programming
Law Librarians are available to assist journal editors with a variety of programming needs. Our research skills and academic networks can be of particular assistance with the identification of topics and potential speakers. We can also help facilitate program technology such as videoconferencing. As you may know, programs can take a great deal of time to organize, and planning at least a semester ahead is well advised. For assistance, contact Laura Ray (216-687-6880; (l.raynull@.csuohio.nulledu).

Sources said the kidnappers released the doctor, who was abducted on April 4, following discussions between the kidnapper and Spanish Embassy in Nigeria.
Gunmen kidnapped Machimbarrena from his home in southeastern Nigeria, a region where several foreigners have been seized for ransom in the past few years, Reuters reported.
A spokesman at the Spanish Foreign Ministry confirmed the freeing of Machimbarrena, who has been living in Nigeria since 1978. He is reportedly in good health, but there is no word as to whether a ransom was paid.
Enugu police spokesman Ebere Amaraizu also confirmed the doctor's release in a statement and said "state police command has intensified its manhunt in the pursuit of the hoodlums who took him."

Congrats to Ben: truehoop.com (can someone fix the title?)
Haha, I don't really see that as flopping. That's just veteran experience. (Title fixed)
Ben worked his pooper off for a lot of years to earn those calls. It ain't flopping when you've earned it!
If this is true, Ben could make a fortune off royalties. I gotta get in on this somehow.
Coach Saunders taught Big Ben how to do it. When he did it himself back in the day, it was called Flip flopping.
He was pushed every single time. Don't believe this propaganda.
You missed the article about the cheap beer. God damn i wish I was drinking beer right now. 11am is socially acceptable right?
It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Fans of The X Factor will of course know that third placed runner-up Christopher Maloney was nowhere to be seen during last night's final…
And as we reported yesterday afternoon, and last night – during our live blog as the incident evolved – it all began when Christopher turned up yesterday morning at the show's venue in Manchester "clearly drunk."
He then apparently stormed off when he became angry that he had only one line to sing in the finalists' group performance. The Sun reports that he was supposed to be back at 11am for a second rehearsal, but when he didn't arrive, the finalists' song was hastily rearranged to exclude him. You can click here to find out what an X Factor insider told us here at Unreality TV about what was going on…
The next round in Maloney-gate came when he allegedly arrived well after midday, and even more drunk, telling the show's producers that he no longer wanted to be part of the show. He reportedly then went back to the hotel the finalists were staying in to pack, intent on returning home to Liverpool…
But before he left for the second time, he got into a row with former finalist Carolynne Poole – and some Twitter users reported last night that he called her a "c***" – and became "abusive" to backstage staff when they asked him to stop disrupting rehearsals by laughing loudly as the other finalists rehearsed.
To Carolynne, Christopher later tweeted, "@CarolynnePoole you'll do anything to get a headline! disgraceful! week one! bitter."
Of Maloney, a show insider told the paper, "Everyone is completely fed up of his behaviour.
"He was abusive to the production team and other contestants.
"He said he was leaving and didn't want to perform in the final tonight."
Meanwhile, during the afternoon yesterday, an X Factor spokesman said, "Chris decided he no longer wanted to be part of The X Factor Final and has gone back to Liverpool."
But there was yet more drama to come as Maloney reportedly then turned up just as the show was due to air live, "pleading and begging" to be allowed to perform with the other finalists.
However, the insider said, "He showed up wanting to go on stage but they had to turn him away as they were already on stage and he missed the dress rehearsal."
The paper goes on to report, "Christopher had been livid after learning NONE of the other finalists said they wanted him to win.
"He was further embarrassed after they were overheard CHEERING backstage when he was booted off on Saturday."
And on Twitter, Maloney claimed he was being "bullied" as part of a "witch hunt."
Meanwhile, it was reported by the Sunday Mirror that Christopher was fired from his job at a Liverpool debt collection agency for alleged "serious misconduct" after "lunging across a desk at a female manager."
A former colleague told the paper, "That isn't the real Maloney you see on TV, he's got a temper on him. I'm surprised people haven't seen through him."
But it seems that former finalist Kye Sones did, because he recently said, "All of us have got really close and then you've got Chris…
"We've been a really strong group and he's been an outsider – and that's nothing to do with any of us lot.
"He's very tactical. There are two different people – one when cameras are there and one when they're not there."
But the upshot of all this drama is that it really does seem to prove the "diva" claims that've been made about Maloney. And it's made so much worse because last night should've been all about James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas. Chris had his time in the limelight on Saturday, so to make the focus all about him was indeed downright diva-ish.
However, it seems that following his atrocious behavior, his place on the show's live tour is now in doubt. I would imagine he's kicking himself right about now for confirming all the negative press he's received and for letting his façade slip just a tad too soon.
What's your opinion on all the Maloney-gate drama?
For now, here's a reminder of James singing the winner's single, Impossible…

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
Supersymmetry is a leading candidate for physics Beyond the Standard Model. However, a tree level in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model the Higgs boson should be lighter than the Z boson. LEP did not discover the Higgs boson, so typically large radiative corrections are required to push the Higgs above the LEP lower limit, leading to fine tuning issues. In this talk I will describe how to avoid limits from the searches at LEP and discuss a potential early signal of a 90 GeV Higgs at the LHC.

PHILADELPHIA -- University of Pennsylvania director of athletics Steve Bilsky has announced that men's tennis coach Nik DeVore has submitted his resignation.
"Nik has worked hard for Penn over the last four years, and we wish him the best going forward," said Bilsky.
"I appreciate the opportunity Penn gave me to be the head men's tennis coach," said DeVore. "However, I have decided the time has come for me and my family to move on and pursue other opportunities. I wish the current Penn players and the program well going forward."
DeVore came to Penn prior to the 2007-08 season after serving as head coach at Loyola Marymount University in California. Prior to DeVore's arrival in 2001, the Lions had achieved just five winning seasons in school history and regularly finished toward the bottom of the West Coast Conference standings. During his tenure, however, the Lions averaged 15 wins per season and finished in the top four in the WCC three times.
Prior to his Loyola Marymount stint, DeVore directed the men's tennis program at Morehead State University in Kentucky for three years. The two years prior to his arrival at Morehead State the men's team had a combined record of 7-28 and finished at the bottom of the conference standings. In his last season at MSU the men finished 18-8 overall, 8-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference, 9-0 at home and challenged for the conference championship. All of these results were the best in school history.
The search for a new men's tennis coach will begin immediately.

Napa: Stay
We've perfected the art of the luxury hotel, and we're not about to apologize for it. Resorts like Meadowood, Calistoga Ranch, and the one that started it all, Auberge du Soleil, bristle with wine country opulence. Epic poems have been written on Yelp about the private outdoor showers at the Carneros Inn. Questions have been popped over lunch on the deck at Auberge. Are stays here cheap? Not by a mile. But neither is a trip to Tuscany. And in some ways, our dreamiest sleeps can be more transportive.

If you want to snap up a cute lil' chihuahua, get a really big dog for protection or even snare one of the new hybrids, like a Puggle, for cheap from the Houston SPCA, first you gotta pass muster with the gentle folks there. The organization has you undergo a bit of counseling and education. You'll also have to cough up the fee for the animal to be spayed or neutered before they'll release your new pet. But the cost — under $100, depending on the animal's size — includes deworming and the first set of vaccinations. All this is designed to make a happier family for pets and humans. The kind SPCA volunteers have been known to adopt a pet or two of their own, which says a lot about the animals and even more about the folks who donate their time.
Bizarre Times on Richmond lets you cover more vices than most (Houston Press employees excluded) can handle in one night. Of course, there's the porn, with a selection ranging from borderline tasteful to completely horrifying; sex toys, featuring nine variations on The Rabbit; prostitute-esque fetish wear; and "viewing rooms" for "couples." But there's also a wide array of tobacco accessories and perfumes that really define Bizarre Times as the Wal-Mart of Adult Video. Sam Walton would be so proud!
We were gonna say Craig's List, but then we found Adrien Gibson, who hangs out on Craig's List and who, despite the inauspicious place for a first meeting, is one helluva apartment hunter. Our friend used Gibson when she was looking for a place a little while back. He asked her what she wanted, where she was looking, what her price range was, and get this: He took her to a place that met her description right off the bat. No "this is almost in your range." No "it's close to where you were saying." None of that. Only friendly, efficient service, so efficient our friend signed up for the first place she saw. Can it get any easier?
Originally from the coral reefs of the Pacific, the Napoleon wrasse living in the confines of the Downtown Aquarium is truly a wonder to behold. He looks as if he'd like to strike up a conversation with you – and that he could formulate a good sentence with those huge lips, given the chance. There's a conscious awareness lurking behind his independently roving eyes, and a presence in his five-foot hulking form. The Aquarium's humphead wrasse is a male, indicated by the bump on his forehead. Labeled as a "sequential hermaphrodite," the Napoleon fish is born male, changes into a breeding female when it matures at five to seven years old, and during its 30 or more years of life may change back again to a dominant male should the need arise. Go see this rare, exquisitely patterned fish, for free – you don't need to buy dinner to visit the aquarium at the Aquarium.
There's no place that can compare to Hong Kong Market No. 4. It's probably the best example of the mix of Texan and Asian cultures. Only in Houston can you find an Asian grocery that has adopted the local fetish of building the largest and grandest supermarkets possible. Here you'll find a plethora of products from every Asian country imaginable. From seemingly odd Japanese soft drinks to Korean candy, this place has stuff for those looking for the exotic and for those who're just homesick.
Packed with high-quality furniture for babies and kids, USA Baby is the place to go when you're looking to outfit your nursery. From beautiful and delicate bassinets to rough-and-tumble bunk beds, from rocking chairs to car seats, it's all at USA Baby. It doesn't matter if you want to create a fairyland for your little princess or a touchdown zone for the little man of the house (or the other way around), it's here. There are adorable "Time-Out" chairs with built-in alarm clocks, fun "How Tall Am I Now?" wall hangings and huge assortments of strollers and baby carriers. And USA Baby has a great selection of hard-to-find stuffed animals. Looking for a life-size gorilla? It's here. Or maybe a pink elephant wearing a tiara? It's here, too.

The ecologization of politics requires us to acknowledge the priority of human values and makes ecology part of education at an early age, molding a new, modern approach to nature and, at the same time, giving back to man a sense of being part of nature. No moral improvement of society is possible without thatMikhail Gorbachev
The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical.Norman Cousins
Thereís a land where the mountains are nameless, And the rivers all run God knows where; There are lives that are erring and aimless, And deaths that just hang by a hair; There are hardships that nobody reckons; Thereís a land - oh, it beckons and beckons, And I want to go back - and I will.Robert Service†
There is growing awareness of the beauty of country ... a sincere desire to keep some of it for all time. People are beginning to value highly the fact that a river runs unimpeded for a distance... They are beginning to obtain deep satisfaction from the fact that a herd of elk may be observed in back country, on ancestral ranges, where the Indians once hunted them. They are beginning to seek the healing relaxation that is possible in wild country. In short, they want it.Olaus J. Murie
Scepticism is always a back road leading to some credo or other.Mason Cooley
Men go back to the mountains, as they go back to sailing ships at sea, because in the mountains and on the sea they must face up, as did men of another age, to the challenge of nature. Modern man lives in a highly synthetic kind of existence. He specializes in this and that. Rarely does he test all his powers or find himself whole. But in the hills and on the water the character of a man comes out.Abram T. Collier
Lost in Space brings back a lot of memories for people, and I think that any time you're involved in something that has such a long-lasting appeal, you feel very blessed by that.Angela Cartwright
It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadayssaying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.Oscar Wilde
Men of noble birth are noted to be envious towards new men when they rise. For the distance is altered, and it is like a deceit of the eye, that when others come on they think themselves go back.Francis Bacon

No Bust Blackjack
Object >
In No Bust Blackjack the object is to form a hand that totals as close to a "Natural" as possible, without exceeding it. A "Natural" hand beats all other hands. A "Natural" is a hand consisting of two Jokers.
Gameplay >
Aces are 1 or 11; Picture cards are 10; Jokers are wild; any card(s) with the Joker will form a 21. The game is played with either single or multiple standard decks. If multiple decks are used, one Joker is added to each deck.
Players receive two cards face-up; the player/dealer receives one card face-up. Players may draw additional cards after the deal. Once they are done, the player/dealer will receive a second card and then additional hit cards as required, but if the player/dealer's face-up card is a Joker, there is no draw.
See chart: "Hit/Stand Rules for Players."

Il-Maqluba is the best example of a deep, large-scale inland solution subsidence structure (doline) in the Maltese Islands. It is the only natural sub-circular depression that is not filled with sediment, owing to the relatively recent collapse of the limestone surface which formed the roof of a fairly large cave. The doline serves as a natural soak-away reservoir, with a depth of approximately 15 metres, an area of approximately 6,000m² and a perimeter of 300 metres. The doline is superimposed onto the main tributary of Wied Babu, which it divides into two (Wied San Mattew and Wied Ħal-Lew), thus adding to its uniqueness.
Il-Maqluba supports a dense maquis community dominated by Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis) and a native stand of mature specimens of Malta's National Tree: the Sandarac Gum Tree (Tetraclinis articulata). The area is also of significant scientific importance since it is the only known locality in the Maltese Islands for an undescribed species of endemic millipede and the ant Strumigens lewisi, a species of biogeographical interest. Malta's National Bird, the Blue Rock Thrush (Monticola solitarius) is also known to breed at Il-Maqluba. The immediate surroundings of Il-Maqluba support a maquis dominated by Carob trees (Ceratonia siliqua) and Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) amongst several others.
MEPA scheduled Il-Maqluba as a Level 1 Area of Ecological Importance and a Level 1 Site of Scientific Importance as per Government Notice No. 1138/08 in the Government Gazette dated 19 December 2008.

Weary of international crises on your screen? Here's one that binge viewers can relate to.
According to the Foreign Policy's veteran diplomatic correspondent,
Colum Lynch
, "Vladimir Putin's government has vetoed House of Cards."
Well, not exactly vetoed, as House of Cards's uber-baddie President Frank Underwood doesn't really exist, except on Netflix.
But the Kremlin has turned thumbs down on the producers' request to shoot two episodes of the wildly popular American series in the UN Security Council, where the world's great powers go toe to toe over the gravest global issues.
According to "confidential email exchanges" between a Russian diplomat and his council colleagues, and obtained by Foreign Policy, Moscow believes the setting should be reserved for "unanticipated crises."
Not that it's worked out so well for some of the anticipated ones.
Since the war in Syria began three years ago, weeks of council time have been taken up with fruitless deliberations. Russia and China have
every attempt to pressure Syria, or even to allow reports of human rights violations by both sides to be investigated by the International Criminal Court. The war goes on, and worsens.
And a near-unanimous resolution to declare a referendum on Russian
of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula illegal was also vetoed by Russia.
The council has been criticized as dysfunctional for the 21st century, and there are widespread calls for reform. It is, after all, the UN's most powerful body, which can authorize the use of force, send out peacekeepers and slap sanctions on countries for abhorrent behaviour. But the divisive debates on issues like whether to do away with vetoes and how to expand permanent council seats have bogged down the process interminably.
In the meantime, the historic Norwegian-designed chamber could be put to use as a nice little earner for the perpetually cash-strapped UN, without resorting to fiction.
A UN reality show could put some zip into the world body's viewer ratings, with envoys gamely volunteering to lose weight or undergo an extreme makeover on camera.
Contentious council issues could be pumped up with fistfights and the dullest speakers voted off the UN complex. During the summer doldrums, all 15 council members could be rounded up and marooned on nearby Roosevelt Island – deprived of their cell phones and briefcases.
The possibilities are endless. Even Putin – no stranger to self-promotion --- might bid for a starring role in UN Bachelor. Diplomats are supposed to wear a tie, of course. But who said anything about a shirt?
Olivia Ward has covered the UN intermittently since 1990.

T-Mobile ending Sidekick sales starting July 2nd
Starting tomorrow (July 2nd), the Sidekick LX and Sidekick 2008 will not be offered by T-Mobile through its stores, online or telesales. In an e-mail, the carrier said, " While we work on the next chapter of our storied Sidekick franchise, T-Mobile will continue to provide our loyal Sidekick customers with product service and support. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the months ahead, which we expect will provide customers with a new and fresh experience." The carrier has sold a version of the Sidekick for 6 years. The model was known for a display that had to swivel to open, and for having a physical QWERTY keyboard. The phones were designed by Danger and manufactured by Sharp. After the former was acquired by Microsoft, the pair combined to work on the KIN phones which, as we reported, will not be getting launched in Europe as originally planned and Microsift has folded what was left of the KIN team into its Windows Phone 7 team. There is some speculation that the Sidekick will return powered by the Android operating system.

doesnt surprise me...anyone out there still using a Sidekick?! They used to be real popular in the deaf community but I think the tides are shifting from a once dominating messaging device to a lack luster under developed heavy piece of plastic.

How to Choose a Name For Your Travel Blog
Image: juanpg
If you've decided to take the plunge and start a blog — whether travel-oriented or not — one of the most important decisions you can make is what to name it. A great blog name could propel you to the top; a bad blog name could destroy you.
There's much to consider when choosing a name for your travel blog.
Here are the most popular options for choosing a name:
Option 1: Your Real (or Professional) Name
Examples: Suzy Guese, Kirsten Alana, Diana Ellefson
Pros: You own your name on the web and nobody can take it away from you. It gives you professional credibility, especially if you're a freelance writer or photographer.
Cons: You may end up miserably editing everything you write because you don't want to say anything remotely offensive to prospective employers that may Google you. You may get tired of travel blogging, or may not want to represent yourself foremost as a travel blogger.
Option 2: A Variation of Your First Name
Examples: Travels of Adam, Backpacking Matt, Brooke vs. the World
Pros: It's a great balance between providing your name without revealing your entire identity.
Cons: It's not as easy to brand yourself as a prominent travel site. No matter what, name-based sites sound like blogs. However, Nomadic Matt has done well by branding himself as Nomadic Matt's Travel Site.
Option 3: A Location-Based Name
Examples: The Brooklyn Nomad, The Aussie Nomad, Traveling Canucks
Pros: This gives you personality based on the location and allows you to be a knowledgeable representative for your area.
Cons: You might be mistaken for a destination-based site. And after you leave your destination, do you still want it to define you forever, even if you settle in another place? Furthermore, does that destination define you to begin with?
Option 4: An SEO-Friendly Travel Term
Examples: Solo Female Traveler, Go Backpacking, Two Go RTW
Pros: Lots of traffic; lots of site value; potentially great for business. It could also make you look like a well-established travel site.
Cons: Your name could be easily forgettable. It's not as easy to be etched in someone's mind.
Option 5: A Creative Travel Term
Examples: Wild Junket, Migrationology, Velvet Escape
Pros: It's unique, yet undeniably about travel.
Cons: Very few — this is a smart choice. Be careful to avoid a complicated name or becoming overly gimmicky, thinking you have to stick to the theme of the name.
Option 5: Something Outlandish
Examples: Bacon is Magic, Beers and Beans, Trail of Ants
Pros: Your blog name is memorable and creates an unforgettable image in the reader's mind! You won't have to compete with similarly named sites.
Cons: It's not clear that your site is about travel. You might get sick of explaining the meaning of it over and over.
Image: Ian Muttoo
Once you've found a name you like, be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Is it available as a dot-com?
2. Is it simple? Concise? Easy to remember? Easy to spell and pronounce? Understandable to non-travel bloggers?
3. What does Googling it bring up now? Does someone else have a similarly named site? Does it bring up porn?
4. Is it available on social networking sites? Is it available on Twitter? On Facebook, YouTube, Flickr? It will always be easy for people to find you by keeping the same screenname on each site, so be sure it's short enough as well. Plus, who owns it on Blogger and WordPress?
5. Does it lock you in? Sure, if you're teaching in Osaka for a year, "Jamie in Japan" might seem like a great blog name. But what if you decide to teach in Argentina next? Or, what if you decide not to teach anymore?
Image: slack12
Finally, picture yourself arriving at a luxury hotel in your dream exotic location. Flash a smile and say with confidence, "Hi, I'm [name], the founder of [blog name]."
How does it feel?
If it's right, it will feel right.
Got all that? Move on to starting your travel blog!
Tell me, travel bloggers: how has your blog name worked out for you?

KevinDwrote a review of Patagonia Down Sweater Full-Zip Hooded Jacket - Men's on December 4, 2013
Too big and boxy
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Fit: Runs large
I'm 6'1 @ 165, narrow-waisted and broad shoulders. I first ordered a medium (I wear medium in everything else). The shoulders and arms fit perfectly, but the body was way too baggy and boxy. Returned it for a small and the body fit better but the arms were too short. Returned it. After trying on a few other brands and styles, I ended up with the Rab Microlight Alpine jacket in medium. The fit is perfect.

Re: ListContourPlot3D bug?
yes, it gives what I expect in this case. But my point was that when I
plot scalar- or vector-fields, e.g in 2D, I would just expect the 1st
list-level to belong to the x-axis, and the 2nd level to the y-axis.
But the behavior of the ListPlot functions is obviously different by
design: they format things in a matrix kind of way (first index gives
the row, second the column).
I wasted a lot of time figuring out why to the data produced by my
simulation (plotted by ListContourPlot3D) does not correspond to the
analytical results (plotted by ContourPlot3D).

Thanks so much for replying. I have grays starting at my crown. I should have done more research before I started....ugh. Oh well. Now I am just trying to find a shade that matches what is coming in. I think I am somewhere between a light ash brown and a dark ash blonde. I, too, find the warms and even the neutrals too warm for my liking. I purchased a neutral at first and it really seemed much warmer.
Perhaps when I get the shade that matches well enough I will try a semi-permanent like you are doing. I think it would probably last a while now on me as well, now that I am doing cg.
On my last trip I purchased sally's light brown and dark blonde ash with the intetions of mixing. I haven't gotten the guts to do it yet though. I was considering doing the light ash brown all over and then trying to "highlight" with the dark ash blonde. I dunno though...I have had too many YIKES episodes where I call the salon in an emergency. That is more expensive than just having them color it in the first place.
I'd love to hear how you like the Loreal line and what color you used.
