DVD Movie to iPod Ripping Not Allowed Says Congress

But if you're a teacher, you can rip DVDs
There's no doubt in the world that Apple's iPod is leading the race in terms of sales, popularity, and social status. Apple has done an incredible job at keeping its multimedia pocket-wizard at the top of people's wish lists. Out of the three available flavors of the iPod, the video iPod is Apple's flagship; able to play not only music but also games and full length movies. Despite its features however, movie playback is where controversy has stirred.
This week, the US Library of Congress rejected a petition that would allow US iPod owners from copying movies that they own, onto their iPods. This does not mean that users can't copy movies over -- they would have to purchase licensed iPod versions from Apple's iTunes store. According to the rejection, users are not allowed to rip DVDs that they own for use on their iPods. Ripping DVDs by nature is against a number of legal rules and regulations and is definitely frowned upon by the MPAA.
The original petition submitted to Congress was written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), which is responsible for defending the rights of many media publications and independent organizations. The
petition argued that DVD ripping software was now mainstream
, and should be accepted as part of business as well as personal use. The EFF also indicated that if the user owned an original copy of a movie, they should be able to watch it on their iPod.
Despite the MPAA's stance that DVD copying and ripping hurts the industry, the EFF argued the following:
The empirical evidence proves just the opposite. During the previous exemption period,
DVD sales and profitability continued to grow at an astonishing pace.29 In fact, DVD sales have proven to be more profitable for motion picture studios in recent years than the formats they replaced, even at a time when DVD ripping software has been popular.30 In addition, major motion picture studios have continued to release new DVD titles in ever-increasing numbers.
The EFF also noted the following about CSS encryption:
Whatever the contribution of CSS to the availability of content on DVD may have been in the past, today the motion picture industry's willingness to release material on DVD is plainly not correlated to any security provided by CSS.
iPod owners will have to purchase and download legal movies from Apple's online store, which in many cases means that they will have duplicate copies of movies they already own. Despite the ongoing restriction on DVD ripping and copying, the Library of Congress has allowed limited ripping for use in an educational environment only. Professors and instructors in the video industry are allowed to rip DVDs to create clips and instructional materials for teaching.
Movie studios argued that the education industry should be using lower quality VHS rips instead of using DVDs -- even with Congress's blessing.

Italy surgeons sue over faulty breast implants
By Philip Pullella
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's plastic surgeons association on Wednesday sued the French company that made substandard breast implants and the German certification company that checked its products for fraud and said its members would consider themselves injured parties.
The association said its lawyers had filed the suit in a Rome court against the now defunct company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) and Germany's TUV Rheinland.
"Surgeons who used the incriminating implants were as much the objects of fraud as were the patients," the association's vice president, Mario Pelle Ceravolo, said.
He said the surgeons had been "tricked" by a product that had the European Union's mark of approval and had all the physical characteristics of a bonafide product.
"Doctors who used the PIP implant cannot be blamed ..." he said.
French inspectors ordered them off the market in March 2010, due to concerns over their quality.
But only last month did officials in Paris recommend their surgical removal, drawing attention to the problem for patients worldwide who had been fitted with products from the company, which was at one time the third biggest global supplier.
PIP enjoyed years of success with international sales but the company was hiding from certification agencies the fact they were using cheap, industrial silicone, not approved for medical use. Continued...

using interpolating function as initial condition to Ndsolve
hi all,
I am solving a set of four pdes (first order in time and second order
in space) using NDsolve. I am able to solve for arbitrary initial
conditions. What I am interested is fist solve with some random
initial conditions and get the steady state solution. I want to use
this solution as initial condition(e.g cf[0,z]=f(z)....) for the next
computations. I could not figure out how to use interpolating function
as initial condition.
can anybody have any idea?
Thank you.
here is my code
sol = NDSolve[
D[cf[t, z], t] + v D[cf[t, z], z] - a1 (cc[t, z] - cf[t, z]) ==
D[tf[t, z], t] + v D[tf[t, z], z] - a2 (tc[t, z] - tf[t, z]) -
a3 (tw - tf[t, z]) == 0,
D[cc[t, z], t] - a4 (cf[t, z] - cc[t, z]) -
a5 r[cc[t, z], tc[t, z]] == 0,
D[tc[t, z], t] - a6 (tf[t, z] - tc[t, z]) -
a7 r[cc[t, z], tc[t, z]] - a8 D[tc[t, z], z, z] == 0,
cf[t, 0] == c0,
tf[t, 0] == t0, (D[tc[t, z], z] /. z -> 0) ==
0, (D[tc[t, z], z] /. z -> length) == 0,
cf[0, z] == c0, tf[0, z] == t0, cc[0, z] == c0, tc[0, z] == t0

The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 American climate science fiction disaster film co-written, directed, and produced by Roland Emmerich and starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ian Holm, Emmy Rossum, and Sela Ward. The film depicts catastrophic climatic effects following the disruption of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation in a series of extreme weather events that usher in global cooling and lead to a new ice age.[2] Filmed in Toronto and Montreal, it is the highest-grossing Hollywood film made in Canada (adjusted for inflation).

Originally slated for release in the summer of 2003, The Day After Tomorrow opened in Mexico City on May 17, 2004, and was released worldwide from May 26 to May 28 (except in South Korea and Japan, where it was released on June 4 and 5). A major commercial success, the film became the sixth highest-grossing film of 2004. It received mixed reviews upon release, with critics highly praising the film's special effects but criticizing numerous scientific inaccuracies.
Paleoclimatologist Jack Hall and his colleagues, Frank and Jason, are drilling for ice-core samples on the Larsen Ice Shelf for NOAA when the shelf breaks apart. When Jack later presents his findings on global warming at a United Nations conference in New Delhi, he fails to convince diplomats or US Vice President Raymond Becker. However, Professor Terry Rapson of the Hedland Climate Research Centre in Scotland believes in Jack's theories. Shortly after, several buoys in the North Atlantic simultaneously register a sharp drop in ocean temperature, and Rapson concludes that melting polar ice has begun to disrupt the North Atlantic Current. He contacts Jack, whose paleoclimatologic weather model demonstrates how climate changes caused the first ice age. His team, including NASA meteorologist Janet Tokada, builds a forecast model based on Jack's findings.
Around the world, violent weather causes widespread destruction; US President Blake authorizes the FAA to halt air traffic due to severe turbulence. On the International Space Station, three astronauts see a storm system spanning the Northern Hemisphere, which soon develops into three hurricane-like superstorms. The temperature of the eyes of the storms is −150 °F (−101 °C), flash freezing anything in their paths. The cells, located over Canada, Scotland, and Siberia, will affect all of their respective continents within days. During this time, tornadoes destroy Los Angeles.
In Manhattan, Jack's son Sam learns about the worsening weather when he participates in an academic decathlon. Although Sam promises to be on the next train home, flooding quickly closes the subway and Grand Central Terminal, before a gigantic storm surge strikes New York City, flooding Manhattan. Sam and a large group of people seek shelter in the New York Public Library, and his teammate and love interest, Laura Chapman, accidentally cuts her leg while wading through the waist-deep water to higher ground. In Scotland, Rapson and his colleagues at the Hedland Centre die in the European superstorm.
Upon Jack's suggestions, Blake orders the evacuation of the southern United States (with most refugees heading for Mexico) and warns the northern half of the country to seek shelter. Jack and his team set out for Manhattan to find Sam, but when their truck crashes into a vehicle north of Philadelphia, the group is forced to continue their journey on snowshoes. En route, Frank falls through the glass roof of a snow-covered shopping mall. As Jason and Jack try to pull him up, the glass under them continues cracking; Frank sacrifices himself by cutting the rope. Most of the group sheltered in the library leave in hopes of joining the southern refugees (despite Sam's warning), when the water outside freezes, leaving Sam, his friends, and a few others who trust him. They burn books to stay warm and break into a vending machine for food. Sam admits his feelings for Laura (who has apparently caught a cold), and she reciprocates. At the US refugee camp in Mexico, Becker learns that President Blake died when his motorcade was caught in the superstorm, and he is now the president.
The next morning, Sam's group determines that Laura has blood poisoning from the cut on her leg. Sam and two others search for penicillin in a derelict Russian cargo ship that drifted into Manhattan. Although they find food and supplies, they also encounter a pack of escaped wolves from Central Park Zoo. The eye of the North American superstorm passes over the city, freezing it solid, and the three barely return to the library in time. Jack, also caught out in the eye with an unconscious Jason, narrowly escapes the deep freeze himself by taking shelter in an abandoned fast-food restaurant.
Days later, as the superstorms dissipate, Jack and Jason reach New York and find Sam's group alive. They radio the news to the US government in exile in Mexico, and Becker orders rescue teams to pick them up and search for other survivors in the northern states in his first address as president. On the ISS, astronauts look down in amazement at an Earth whose northern hemisphere is now mostly covered by ice and snow, but free of pollution.

The Day After Tomorrow was inspired by Coast to Coast AM talk-radio host Art Bell and Whitley Strieber's book, The Coming Global Superstorm,[3] and Strieber wrote the film's novelization. Arnold Federbush's 1978 novel, Ice!, and Douglas Orgill and John Gribbin's The Sixth Winter (published in 1979) have similar themes. Before and during the film's release, members of environmental and political advocacy groups distributed pamphlets to moviegoers describing the possible effects of global warming. Although the film depicts effects of global warming predicted by scientists (such as rising sea levels, more destructive storms, and disruption of ocean currents and weather patterns), it depicts their occurrence more rapidly and severely than what is considered scientifically plausible; the theory that a superstorm could create rapid worldwide climate change does not appear in the scientific literature.[citation needed]
To choose a studio, writer Michael Wimer created an auction. A copy of the script was sent to all major studios along with a term sheet. They had 24 hours to decide whether to produce the movie with Roland Emmerich directing. Fox Studios was the only studio to accept the terms. [4]
Visual effectsEdit
The Day After Tomorrow features 416 visual effects shots, with nine effects houses and over 1,000 artists working on the film for over a year to bring its disaster sequences to life.[5]
Box officeEdit
The film ranked #2 at the box office (behind Shrek 2) over its four-day Memorial Day opening, grossing $85,807,341. led the per-theater average, with a four-day average of $25,053 (compared to Shrek 2's four-day average of $22,633). At the end of its theatrical run, the film grossed $186,740,799 domestically and $544,272,402 worldwide. It was the second-highest opening-weekend film not to lead at the box office; Inside Out surpassed it in June 2015.[1]
The Day After Tomorrow is the eighth-highest-grossing film which did not lead the United States box office its opening weekend, behind Inside Out, Sing, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Alvin and the Chipmunks and its sequel, Sherlock Holmes, and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. It is fourth worldwide in that category, behind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Inside Out and Casino Royale.
Critical reactionEdit
The Day After Tomorrow received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its visual effects and criticized its writing and scientific inaccuracy. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes rated the film at 45%, with an average rating of 5.3 out of 10. According to the website, it is "A ludicrous popcorn flick filled with clunky dialogues, but spectacular visuals save it from being a total disaster."[6] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the film's special effects, giving it three stars out of four. Environmental activist and Guardian columnist George Monbiot called The Day After Tomorrow "a great movie and lousy science".[7]
Patrick J. Michaels, a former research professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia who rejects the scientific consensus [8] on global warming, called the film "propaganda" in a USA Today editorial: "As a scientist, I bristle when lies dressed up as 'science' are used to influence political discourse."[9] College instructor and retired NASA Office of Inspector General senior special agent Joseph Gutheinz called The Day After Tomorrow "a cheap thrill ride, which many weak-minded people will jump on and stay on for the rest of their lives" in a Space Daily editorial.[10]
When paleoclimatologist William Hyde of Duke University was asked on Usenet if he would see the film, he answered that he would not unless someone offered him $100.[11] Subscribers to the newsgroup took up the challenge and, despite Hyde's protests, raised the $100.[12] Hyde's review on Google Groups criticized the film's depiction of weather which stopped at national borders; it was "to climate science as Frankenstein is to heart transplant surgery".[13]
Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, an expert on thermohaline circulation and its effect on climate, said after a talk with scriptwriter Jeffrey Nachmanoff at the film's Berlin preview: "Clearly this is a disaster movie and not a scientific documentary, [and] the film makers have taken a lot of artistic license. But the film presents an opportunity to explain that some of the basic background is right: humans are indeed increasingly changing the climate and this is quite a dangerous experiment, including some risk of abrupt and unforeseen changes ... Luckily it is extremely unlikely that we will see major ocean circulation changes in the next couple of decades (I'd be just as surprised as Jack Hall if they did occur); at least most scientists think this will only become a more serious risk towards the end of the century. And the consequences would certainly not be as dramatic as the 'superstorm' depicted in the movie. Nevertheless, a major change in ocean circulation is a risk with serious and partly unpredictable consequences, which we should avoid. And even without events like ocean circulation changes, climate change is serious enough to demand decisive action."[14]
In 2008, Yahoo! Movies listed The Day After Tomorrow as one of its top-10 scientifically-inaccurate films.[15] It was criticized for depicting meteorological phenomena as occurring over the course of hours, instead of decades or centuries.[16] A 2015 Washington Post article reported on a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports which indicated that global temperatures could drop relatively rapidly due to a temporary shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation caused by global warming.[17]

Emmerich did not deny that his casting of a weak president and the resemblance of vice-president Kenneth Welsh to Dick Cheney were intended to criticize the climate change policy of the George W. Bush administration.[18] Responding to claims of insensitivity in his inclusion of scenes of a devastated New York City less than three years after the September 11 attacks, Emmerich said that it was necessary to showcase the increased unity of people in the face of disaster because of the attacks.[19][20][21]
Some scientists criticized the film's scientific aspects. Paleoclimatologist and professor of earth and planetary science at Harvard University Daniel P. Schrag said, "On the one hand, I'm glad that there's a big-budget movie about something as critical as climate change. On the other, I'm concerned that people will see these over-the-top effects and think the whole thing is a joke ... We are indeed experimenting with the Earth in a way that hasn't been done for millions of years. But you're not going to see another ice age – at least not like that."[18] J. Marshall Shepherd, a research meteorologist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, expressed a similar sentiment: "I'm heartened that there's a movie addressing real climate issues. But as for the science of the movie, I'd give it a D minus or an F. And I'd be concerned if the movie was made to advance a political agenda."[18] According to University of Victoria climatologist Andrew J. Weaver, "It's The Towering Inferno of climate science movies, but I'm not losing any sleep over a new ice age, because it's impossible."[18]
Home mediaEdit
The film was released on VHS and DVD October 12, 2004 and was released in high-definition video on Blu-ray in North America on October 2, 2007 and in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2008, in 1080p with a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio track and few bonus features.

I have 2 EXCELLENT ideas-
First Idea: LaVern David Thompson blogged on April 8,2014 about starting a new show.....My daughter Sally Harless aka https://www.etsy.com/shop/sadlyharmless?ref=pr_faveshops, Did such thing in 2009 in Bloomington Indiana. Her and a couple of other artist gals started the Bloomington Handmade Market. It is a great idea! I would LOVE to start the same type of organization here on the Gulf Coast and have kicked around names in my head...Main focus is on HANDMADE crafts and nothing else- except some handmade food! I have a majority of the ideas already figured out as i was there to help somewhat in 2009 and learned alot from her.
Second Idea: Craft Mobile..remember the book mobile? Well i have most all of it figured out in my head as well and i know it will be successful!
the thing is i am poor and i need someone to collaborate with me in writing the Kickstarter campaigns- UNLESS ya'll have some wealthy family and or friends that could loan us the start up money.
I am a million percent confident we can be spectacular and at AFFORDABLE rates both to us vendors as well as our consumers. Hell i just wanna make money selling my crafts- i'm not looking to be a greedy monster by sucking up all the profits- Profits go back into the business.
And people are getting sick and tired of seeing the same old same old craft fair after craft fair items at too high of prices. We would have to jury cuz we don't wanna sell crap- but we also need to be UNIQUELY ECLECTIC (which was a name i thought of in the 90's)
okay okay--i am rambling..let's talk about this guys and gals...! Trish

These are good ideas. A better forum maybe IndiGoGo or Kickstarter. AS...I now you did. If you even have an average cell phone, you could use your cell phone to do the video. Animoto is a good free app, too. Often these campaigns depend more on enthusiasm and polish more than professional quality. I like Indigogo better.
I think both ideas are great. But you are right, it takes a LOT of money to start these. You might want to consider going to some Sat. markets around Tampa Bay and asking questions to vendors and try to find the promoter. Most craft people are very willing to share ideas. Good Luck!
I agree. I am not knowledgeable about the processes in Kickstart.
Great idea. Can't have two people selling the same product. Never works...

When you have the output you want, copy it and paste into the following:
AbsoluteOptions[<<paste here>>, {PlotRange, ViewCenter, ViewPoint,
which will give you the values of these options resulting from your
manipulations. There are quite a lot of AbsoluteOptions apart from these;
you might wish to specify some additional ones if you've e.g. adjusted the
image size and want to preserve this as well.

uses drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body to kill cancer cells. The side effects from chemotherapy occur because it destroys both normal cells and cancer cells.
While chemotherapy is not part of the standard treatment for prostate cancer, it may be used if other treatments are not effective.
If you and your doctor decide that you are going to undergo chemotherapy, you most likely will take a drug called docetaxel, which is often combined with the steroid prednisone. If docetaxel does not work, your doctor may recommend cabazitaxel, a newer drug. These 2 drugs may help you to live longer, reduce your symptoms, and slow cancer growth. In addition to these 2 chemotherapy drugs, there are also many others that your doctor may recommend (mitoxantrone, estramustine, doxorubicin).
Unfortunately, there are many side effects associated with chemotherapy, such as:
Researchers continue to develop and study different strategies to slow or stop the growth of tumors. The drug cabozantinib, for instance, interferes with the process that cancer cells go through to create new blood vessels, which are needed for the cancer to grow. Cabozantinib is still being investigated. But, if you have advanced prostate cancer, you may be able to take this drug as part of a clinical trial.
Some of the side effects that have been reported include:
Immunotherapy is a drug treatment that aims to build your immune system so that you can better fight cancer cells. Sipuleucel-T is a type of immunotherapy that is approved to treat prostate cancer that has spread.

Bangalore, Apr 17: For the second time in IPL 2013, we had a Super Over and on both occasions Royal Challengers were involved. However, this time RCB won the thriller against Delhi Daredevils here on Tuesday night (April 16). RCB are now on top of the table with four wins in six matches. Delhi are last with five consecutive defeats. RCB had earlier lost in Super Over to Sunrisers Hyderabad.
At one stage, RCB were cruising towards victory chasing 153. But DD clawed their way back and the home team was in danger of losing. However, Ravi Rampaul's heroics in the final over tied the game. And in the Super Over, Rampaul came back to bowl RCB to victory. This was fifth straight loss for DD in IPL 6. They are yet to win a game.
Here are the highlights of this nail-biting thriller which concluded just after midnight at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
# In the Super Over, RCB batted first and made 15/0. In reply DD were kept to 11/2
# RCB's Super Over unfolded like this: 1, 1, 1, 0, 6, 6
# Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers batted for RCB in Super Over. De Villiers smashed two successive sixes to finish on a high in the one-over eliminator
# Umesh Yadav bowled the Super Over for DD while Ravi Rampaul did the job for RCB
# DD's Super Over went like this: W (David Warner c Chris Gayle), 4, 0, 6 (Irfan Pathan), 1, W (Ben Rohrer bowled)
# Left-handed Rohrer was bowled off the last ball in Super Over when DD needed 5 to win
# When RCB were chasing, they needed 12 to win off the final over bowled by Irfan Pathan
# Rampaul hit a six off the first ball in final over and when two were needed of the last ball, Rampaul and R Vinay Kumar managed to sneak a bye and tied the game
# At one stage RCB needed 24 off 24 balls with 7 wickets in hand. De Villiers wicket (run out) changed the course of the match
# Virat Kohli was Man-of-the-match for his 65 off 50 balls with 7 fours and 1 six
# Kohli crossed 300 runs in IPL 6
# De Villiers and Kohli partnership for third wicket was worth 103 in 12.3 overs
# RCB lost 5 wickets for the addition of just 8 runs. From 129 for 2 they slumped to 138 for 7
# RCB hit 12 fours and 7 sixes (2 sixes in Super Over)
# DD hit 18 fours (1 boundary in Super Over) and 3 sixes (1 six in Super Over)
# This is 5th loss in a row for DD. They remain winless in IPL 6
# For RCB, their home record kept improving. This was fourth straight win this season at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Earlier, they had defeated Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders

Embracing Diversity
An estimated 100 billion people have been born since the dawn of time. These people
have had different appearances, come from different countries and territories, have
been brought up with different mindsets and have spoken different languages. They
have eaten different food, have had different lifestyles and have belonged to
different generations.
The only sure trait that every single person has had in common is that they were all
unequivocally unique and different.
This is what we call diversity.
Embracing Diversity
More and more, we see an emphasis on "accepting and embracing diversity" in both
our professional and personal lives. Socially and politically, there is a huge focus on
eliminating discrimination of any kind and equalizing the treatment of every
To some, embracing diversity exists only on a surface level. Tolerating and accepting a
different culture, different lifestyle or a different way of thinking is just that –
tolerance. This is by no means negative, but embracing takes much more effort and
much more understanding, and the benefits are much greater as well.
Let's take a deep dive
Every person you have ever walked past, spoken to, befriended or ignored – they have
had a lifetime of experiences that shaped them into who they are today.
Instead of generalising, accepting and tolerating a group of people, assess a person
and interact with them on an individual basis. Ignore the labels that are placed on an
individual (nationality, religion, age, gender) and purely look at the experiences that
have shaped him/her. Understand and appreciate how these different experiences
and upbringings add on to their character.
Put yourself in their shoes and make a connection to their experiences. You don't
have to love every single difference – just understand and appreciate them.
That is embracing diversity.
The Benefits
When we acknowledge these differences, embrace them, and respect them, we can
accomplish what we never thought was possible. We can join ideas together, birthing
from different environments, mindsets and perspectives. We can forge more efficient
teams combining a variety of strengths and experiences. We can be surprised with the
connections we make to a person who is different than us.
Most of all, we appreciate a person so much more after embracing their diversity and
what makes them different – their trials and tribulations. Everyone is different – no
two lives are the same. Sympathize, emphasize and appreciate differences.
Putting it into Action
All it takes to be understanding is to start a conversation.
In the next 2 weeks, more than 800 delegates from over 118 countries and territories
will gather in India at AIESEC's International Congress 2015. We invite you to join us
virtually through our live stream and enjoy conversing with young people from all
over the world.

The new law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014 and applies to residential and commercial properties. Before an inspector will provide final approval or issue a certificate of occupancy, plumbing fixtures must meet the state's requirements for water-efficient plumbing fixtures, including 1.6-gallon toilets. This requirement could be enforced whenever a pool, spa or waterfeature is built or renovated on a home built before 1994, depending on the interpretation of local officials, according to the California Pool & Spa Association, the state's industry lobbying association formerly called SPEC.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- No rest for the weary.
The Ivy League outdoor track and field season kicked off in the weeks following the NCAA Indoor Championships, with four of the eight teams opening their 2014 campaigns.
Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn and Princeton have all taken part in one or more competitions so far in 2014. Brown and Yale's seasons kick off on March 28-29, while Columbia opens on April 4-5 and Cornell starts on March 29 after its Spring Invitational was cancelled due to weather.
Here is a team-by-team look at the Ivy League squads:
Next event: Friday-Saturday, March 28-29, Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State – Raleigh, N.C.
Next events: Friday-Saturday, April 4-5, Sam Howell Invite – Princeton, N.J./Friday-Saturday, April 4-5, Stanford Invitational – Palo Alto, Calif.
Next event: Saturday, March 29, Riverside Invitational hosted by UC Riverside – Riverside, Calif.
The Big Green competed in the non-team scoring Shamrock Invitational hosted by Coastal Carolina. Sophomore sisters Anna and Sara Kikut led the way, as Anna won the 200m B race in 25.71 and Sara finished 20th in the 200m A race in 25.49. Another sophomore, Kaitlin Whitehorn, placed second in the long jump and 22nd in the 200m A, while junior Erica Hendershot was eighth in the 200m B. Freshman Katy Sprout posted Dartmouth's other top-10 finish in the competition, placing fourth in the 400m.
The men claimed four top-10 spots, including three in field events. Freshman Timothy Brennan placed fifth in the discus (152-4), while fellow classmate Alex Frye did the same in the high jump (6-6 ¾). A third freshman, Corey Muggler, placed ninth in the triple jump with a mark of 46-2 ½. On the track, sophomore Edward Wagner placed sixth in the 400m hurdles with a time of 53.98.
Next event: Friday-Saturday, April 4-5, Sam Howell Invite – Princeton, N.J.
The Crimson traveled to Houston to take part in the Texas Southern Relays, where all junior Danielle Barbian did was break the all-time Ivy League record in the 100m, crossing the line in 11.65, just ahead of fellow classmate Ashley Collinsworth, who clocked in at 11.83. Barbian's record-setting time just beat the previous mark of 11.66, set by Cornell's Melissa Hewitt in 2010. The 4x100m relay team of Collinsworth, freshman Sylvia Deppen, sophomore Autumne Franklin and Barbian broke the Harvard record with a time of 46.27 to take first overall, defeating Minnesota (46.88). Franklin also won the 400mH, as the Crimson went 1-2 in the event. In the field, freshman Raegan Nizdil tied for first in the high jump and senior Adabelle Ekechukwu finished third in the hammer throw.
The men were led by their field athletes, who won four events. Junior Igor Liokumovich placed first in the discus and second in the shot put, the latter behind teammate senior Dustin Brode, who also placed third in the hammer, trailing teammate junior Ben Glauser, who took first. Freshman Andrew Roney claimed the pole vault title, while junior Mike Slovenski was sixth. Harvard went 2-3 in the triple jump, led by junior Malcolm Mason-Rodriguez, and sophomore Dean Sullivan was the runner-up in the javelin. On the track, junior Jarvis Harris matched his own Harvard-record 110mH time of 14.13 to place second overall.
Next events: Wednesday-Saturday, March 26-29, Texas Relays – Austin, Texas/Saturday, March 29, Snowflake Classic hosted by Tufts – Medford, Mass.
The Quakers have competed twice already this season, at the USF Open and the Philadelphia College Classic. In South Florida, Freshmen Ashley Montgomery and Cleo Whiting went 1-2 in the 1,500m, while sophomore Kelsey Hay, freshman Lisa Sesink-Clee and sophomore Kaci Jones took the top three spots in the javelin. Moreover, junior Lydia Ali and sophomore Rachel Hlatky went 2-3 in the 400m, but 1-2 among collegiate runners. A pair of Quakers recorded runner-up finishes in seniors Chelsea Delaney (800m) and Gabrielle Piper (100mH). Back home at Franklin Field, freshman Nailah Hill broke a 13-year program record in the discus, winning with a throw of 150-4. Sophomore Serena Graf had a busy day, winning the shot put and hammer and placing second in the javelin behind Hay. The Quakers also won the triple jump (Jordan Jet), triple jump (Jenny Thompson) and long jump (Gilliam Berger). On the track, Penn went 2-3-4-5-6 in the 3,000m and 1-2-3-4 in the 400m.
The men also posted a 1-2-3 finish in an event, as senior Jake Brenza won the shot put, holding off junior Marcus LaRoche and sophomore Sam Mattis. Brenza also placed third in the hammer, while Mattis won the discus. Senior Nate Harriger cleared 6-06 at the high jump to place third overall and fellow classmate Karl Ingram was sixth in the javelin. On the track, Penn went 1-2 in the 800m with sophomore Thomas Awad placing first and junior Tom Timmins taking second. Sophomore Ben Bowers was third in the 110mH with a time of 14.61. In the Philadelphia College Classic, Mattis broke his own program discus record with a mark of 196-8, the second-best mark in Ivy League history. Brenza finished first in the hammer, second in the shot put and third in the discus, while Ingram again captured the javelin title. Sophomore Brandon Senior, competing for the first time in 2013-14 due to injury, won the 200m.
Next event: Friday-Saturday, March 28-29, Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State – Raleigh, N.C.
The Tigers competed at the Disney Invitational in Orlando, Fla., as both the men's and women's placed first in the competition. The women won seven individual events and each of the six relays it entered, en route to 271 points, more than double over the second-place team Wisconsin (130). The Tigers to reach the top of the podium were sophomore Inka Busack (high jump), senior Imani Oliver (triple jump), sophomore Brielle Rowe (discus), sophomore Julia Ratcliffe (hammer), senior Samantha Anderson (shot put), sophomore Meghan McMullin (400 hurdles) and freshman Megan Curham (10k).
The men garnered 217 points, also more than double the mark of the second-place Badgers (106). Eight Tigers reached the top of the podium in individual events, including junior Jake Taylor (weight throw), junior Scott Rushton (shot put), senior Tom Hopkins (200m), sophomore Greg Caldwell (110m hurdles), sophomore Luke Brahm (800), freshman William Paulson (1,500m), senior Tyler Udland (5k) and junior Eddie Owens (steeplechase).

Gig Alerts: Caetano Veloso
Caetano Veloso
"Sem Cais"
Playing at: Terminal 5 (610 W. 56th St., Midtown West)
Get: Tickets | Directions
Brazilian pop luminary Caetano Veloso has been called the Bob Dylan of Brazil, and if you're familiar with his celebrated body of work and his revered place in Brazilian culture, you'll understand why. Since he first emerged on the Brazilian music scene as a promising lyricist over 40 years ago, Veloso has been lauded for his singular songwriting, his deftness in forging new musical styles (he was at the forefront of Tropicalismo), and his defiant stance against the oppressive Brazilian government of the '60s. After a four-year exile from his native country, countless albums, a breakthrough in the States and decades of sitting high on the pedestal of pop greats, Veloso continues to make music. On this track from his new album Zii E Zie (out March 30 in the U.S.), Veloso's easy, sunny vocals and guitar warm up a simple melody before the tune takes a turn into slinky, minimalist funk courtesy of Veloso's backing group BandaCê.

Not too sure how to word this question....please let me know if I am not clear.
So I took the sculpting class offered through this site, and really enjoyed it. However, the class was Zbrush specific and I only own Mudbox, which means much of the course was spent with me trying to figure out how to apply the knowledge myself. I still learned a lot, and greatly enjoyed the course, but it leads me to this question.
I was using Mudbox 2010, and I found that my results, compared to everyone else in the class, were much "messier" and "pudgy" then others. The people using Zbrush had much sharper geometry and form, and I could never seem to achieve that. Through research, it seems part of the problem is that Mudbox didn't have a lot of good features until 2011+ and as I said I have 2010. Still, I fully accept that much of the problem was probably just it was my first time sculpting, and I need practice.
Still, I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable then I could share their opinions on Mudbox 2010, and if it would be worth me paying to upgrade to either a newer Mudbox or even Zbrush. If Mudbox 2010 is capable of making just as good of models as newer versions/Zbrush, i'd rather not waste the money just for the sake of having a "newer" version (same reason I still only own CS4, and before that PS7), but seeing as I really enjoyed sculpting, I dont want to be limiting myself either by outdated software.
Sorry if that was wordy, let me know if I need to explain better. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The American conductor Mark Stringer was born in 1964. He studied at the Juilliard School of Music, the Tanglewood Music Center, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute. His teachers include Seiji Ozawa, Simon Rattle, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Leonard Bernstein who invited him to share concerts on two European tours with the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra and the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
Program Notes
Franz Schubert:
Symphony no. 8 in B Minor, D. 759 ("Unfinished")
Composed in the autumn of 1822, this symphony is the best-loved of Schubert's orchestral music. For the record, Schubert completed two movements of this symphony and sketched a third (scherzo), nine measures of which were fully scored. Part of the appeal of the "Unfinished" Symphony lies in the mystery that surrounds its incomplete status, and many theories have been suggested as to why Schubert abandoned it in midstream.
Benjamin Britten:
Double Concerto in B Minor for Violin, Viola and Orchestra
The forty years that have elapsed since the death of Benjamin Britten have only served to enhance the reputation that accrued to him during his lifetime – one of the greatest composers in the history of English music. Gifted from an early age, it is not surprising that under the tutelage of Frank Bridge, several works date from his youth. One work, however—the Double Concerto for Violin, Viola, and Orchestra—remained unfinished and unknown until recent times.
W.A. Mozart:
Symphony No. 41 in C Major, K. 551, "Jupiter"
Mozart's last three symphonies were composed over a period of six weeks during the summer of 1788—an almost unbelievable feat, even for a composer who was famed for working at a breakneck pace. Together they represent the zenith of the 18th-century symphonic process. Their grandeur suggests that they were composed for public performance in Vienna, as opposed to any private function, and it may be that Mozart intended to use them for a series of concerts for his own benefit.

It depends on how badly it's broken. If you can't afford it, then you need to take her to a NO KILL shelter or a rescue, so they can take care of it. You can also apply for Care Credit, which will give a loan for the medical bills. Good Luck and please get your dog to the vet. :)

Shadow went missing a few nights ago. I left the front door unlocked and he learned how to open it while I slept. I took that day off work to look for him, but never found him. He didn't come back the next day either. The day after that I plastered the town with lost kitty posters and put an ad on craigslist. Yesterday I finally went down to the humane society and reported him missing, and updated his microchip info because I had moved and got a new phone. He wasn't at the shelter then, but an hour after I left they called me and said that Caltrans had dropped him off deceased. He must have wandered onto the freeway and got hit by a car. I'll miss you baby. :(

text: SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100 forecasters said they expect the U.S. home values, as measured by the Zillow® Home Value Index i, to end 2013 up an average of 6.7 percent year-over-year, according to the latest Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey, before slowing over the next five years. Most panelists also said they would like to see the federal government maintain a considerable role in the mortgage market. The survey of 108 economists, real estate experts and investment and market strategists was sponsored by leading real estate information marketplace Zillow, Inc. and is conducted quarterly by Pulsenomics LLC. While appreciation is expected to remain strong through the remainder of this year, the pace of home value growth is predicted to slow considerably through 2018. Panelists said they expect appreciation rates to slow to roughly 4.3 percent next year, on average, eventually falling to 3.4 percent by 2018. Based on current expectations for home value appreciation over the next five years, panelists predicted that overall U.S. home values could exceed their May 2007 peak by the first quarter of 2018, and may cross the $200,000 threshold by the end of 2018. "The housing market has seen a period of unsustainable, breakneck appreciation, and some cooling off is both welcome and expected," said Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries. "Rising mortgage rates, diminished investor demand and slowly rising inventory will all contribute to the slowdown of appreciation." The most optimistic quartile ii of panelists predicted an 8.3 percent annual increase in home values this year, on average, while the most pessimistic quartile iii predicted an average increase of 5.6 percent. Expectations among the optimists fell from 9.3 percent in the last survey, but rose from 5.1 percent among the pessimists. The most optimistic panelists predicted home values would rise roughly 12.5 percent above their 2007 peaks by the end of 2018, on average, while the most pessimistic said they expected home values to remain about 6.2 percent below 2007 peaks. Diminished, But Still 'Significant' Role For Federal Gov't in Mortgages A number of public and private plans for overhauling the nation's mortgage finance system and reforming government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been proposed, all of which seek to reduce and redefine the government's role in the mortgage market to some degree. As these policy conversations begin, panelists were asked how involved they think the federal government should be in any re-imagined mortgage system. Among those panelists expressing an opinion, the majority (58.4 percent) said the federal government's involvement in the conforming mortgage market should be "somewhat significant," "significant" or "very significant." Only 8 percent of respondents said the federal government should have a "non-existent" role in the conforming market.

Thousands enjoy merry Christmas in Bethlehem
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) - Thousands of Christians from the world over have packed Manger Square in Bethlehem to celebrate the birth of Jesus in the town where he was born.
For their Palestinian hosts, this holiday season was an especially joyous one, with the hardships of the Israeli occupation that clouded previous Christmas Eve celebrations eased by the United Nations' recent recognition of an independent state of Palestine.
Festivities led up to the Midnight Mass at St. Catherine's Church, next to the fourth-century Church of the Nativity, built over the grotto where tradition says Jesus was born.
A packed Manger Square, resplendent with strings of lights, decorations and a 55-foot Christmas tree, took on a festive atmosphere as pilgrims mixed with locals and a choral group from the Baptist Church in Jerusalem performed carols.

I had nose surgery 2 months ago for hump removal. The surgeon said I did not require an osteotomy--maybe he's in denial. He removed the hump which I'm happy about, but now I have like a dent on the center of where the hump was removed. It looks kinda flat from vertical angle too also slightly wide. The flatness and dent is minor, but noticeable nonetheless.
Can the surgeon just perform an osteotomy or would a complete revision rhinoplasty be needed? The photo shows a bump, but it's just the wide nose. You can't see the dent, but it's there.

Gus was a lot like that as a puppy.... But he was separated from his litter too soon and didn't know proper dog behavior...so he was SO bitey.
Puppy class helped.... Do NOT go to Petsmart.
Find a puppy class from your local ASPCA - the trainers are better and it is CHEAPER!.... but a puppy class will help your puppy bond with you and help you learn how to help distract and deter these behaviors.
Do not grab is mouth and say "no biting" -- he doesn't understand that. And if someone sees you do it they may think it's okay for them to do it and they may grab too hard.
Puppy class.... it's wonderful

We got him from a family that takes in dogs and "rehabilitates" them and gives them off to families who have the time and will to take care of a dog. From what I know, he was abused prior but the while he had lived with the family he did not show the symptoms I said above. I just find it unique that it only happens sometimes - in the living room. As of now, he's lounging on our chair with no bitey bone in his body. Maybe its just a puppy thing, I was just wondering if there's a way I can teach him this is bad while he recognizes it... Since I don't think he knows I don't want him to bite.

I'd redirect him.... When he starts getting to the point of getting wild and biting.... Redirect him.
Does he know obedience? Ask him to sit, give him a treat.

Hi! Your dog sounds very sweet and I am glad you are trying to understand his behavior better . I would definitely stop acting like you're going to hit him with a large object -- that can be very intimidating and fear inducing in a Maltese. Maltese are known to be quite sensitive and overly harsh techniques can cause fear based reactivity and anxiety. He is still a young dog and still developing at 13 months. Although he may have approached his physical adult size, this age is still undergoing social development.
Do you think he could just be having FRAP's or the "zoomies" as many of us call it? My dog has the zoomies in our living room or backyard where he will run around like a crazy dog often in circles and if you try to stop him, it kind of excites him instead! It's not bad to have the zoomies, sometimes it means they need more activity to get that energy out. Maybe try taking him on more walks and working with him on basic obedience to stimulate and tire out the mind and body. A tired dog is a happy dog. Try clicker training him to learn the stay command and not to bite. Stick with only positive reinforcement and you both will make progress .

You stated that you get him to stop by grabbing a large object and pretend you're going to hit him with it. This is NOT a good thing to do. I think it would cause him to mistrust you and always be afraid you're going to hit him. Positive reinforcement works. Remember, he's still very very young.

Congratulations on your puppy! You've already gotten the advise I would say...completely ignore him when he starts biting - cross your arms with your hands under your armpits and turn your head away from him. But as you pull your hand away from him, immediately let out a loud "Ow!". When he sits and is calm, pick him back up and tell him "good boy". If he bites again, start over again. Consistency is important!

II sounds as if his original owners (before the "rehab") might have hit him or otherwise frightened him, in addition to it teaching proper puppy behavior using positive reinforcement. The "no bite" thing is not an effective way to teach that.
I'd suggest finding a behavioral trainer who uses only positive reinforcement - no Cesar Milan stuff please- and have them observe your baby in your home to see what some of the odd behavior is. And be patient - sometimes these babies get off to a bad start because of humans and we need to be patient with them while they learn what is expected of them.

My baby, via ultrasound, showed a marker for down syndrome. Combined with my age of 41, I think there is a decent likelihood she will have Down syndrome. I am seeing a perinatologist this week for another ultrasound and plan on refusing the amnio they will more than likely 'strongly recommend'. So, unless a Down syndrome diagnosis can be definitely ruled out with just an u/s (which I know is impossible), I would like to get my ducks in order. :)
Can anyone tell me about good nutritional therapies for Down syndrome babies? I know they are deficient in many vitamins and minerals and orthomolecular medicine can help them thrive.
Can anyone point me in the direction of good, alternative health sites for Down syndrome children? I'm only finding the lame 'party line' sites on the web?
Will I be able to birth at a regular low risk hospital? or will this depend on my current doctor and hospital rules? Is NICU time a given in no other problems present themselves?
Thanks so much,
(22 weeks pregnant)

this place is near me but they may know about a place near you - http://www.epdsc.net I had a friend that did some work with them for his nurse practitioner training
I was older as well and did a CVC instead of amnio and the blood test- really a good ultra sound can rule it out if they know what they are doing (I found this out after my CVC) - did you do the blood tests at 16 weeks?
regarding delivery, you may want to post in your tribe section for info in your area since if really varies per state
best of luck

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am mom to a 12 year-old daughter with Down syndrome and I am 40 :) It looks like you might live in Ohio which has lots of support for people with Down syndrome and their families. I don't know that children with Down syndrome are deficient in vitamins/minerals but of course nutrition plays a vital role in their development. So good for you for already advocating for your child!
Here's a few in Ohio:
These are my favorite national sites:
You can find info about nutritional therapy at:
Just today I read an article about a new mom who happens to be a dietician and has a baby with DS:
There is a blood test now available that has a very high accuracy rate in determining if a baby has Down syndrome. Not sure it is available in every state but you can read about it here:
Many babies with Down syndrome never see the NICU although my daughter did because of a heart condition. I would not say a NICU stay is a given. I think the main issue would be a heart defect that would need immediate surgery (most don't) but you can probably find that out ahead of time. Other than that, many of my freinds who have kids with Down syndrome had normal pregnancies/births and were discharged within 2 days. I personally always felt more comfortable delivering my kids in a hospital with a level 3 neonatal. Many things can happen during childbirth and it is terrible to have your baby whisked to another hospital while you are stuck at the hospital where you gave birth. I am sure your doctor will advise you and give you options!
Your life is about to change in ways you can't imagine and I am so glad mine did. We feel extremely blessed. Congrats again!
The best resources out there for nutritional therapies are
and Einstein-syndrome.com/join
Do read the Einstein-Syndrome.com articles in the sidebar "Wipers on the Bus go Trap Trap Trap" and "Hole in the Bucket" for a basic biochemical intro to the WHY and correctible cycle problems with our kids!
The first four supplements to prepare for after the birth are DHA, probiotics, Vitamin D drops and Nutrivene-D. OThers can come later.
I had a home birth, but did not have a prenatal DX. If I knew what I knew now about heart problems, oxygenation issues (from the flap in the heart sometimes not fully closing after the birth) and screenings for life threatening issues like Hirschprung's I would've birthed in a hospital. So, long story short, you want a good labor and experience for yourselfl (hire a doula?) and I am a big natural birth advocate, BUT you also need a hospital with a good NICU. Not all babies with DS have problems (ours had no major problems, but did have an oxygenation issue and "mystery infection" requiring 4 days of inpatient, starting at 8 hours old) but I hate to say, you are no longer low risk. I mean, YOU are low risk, but your baby is actually medium-high risk.
Please send me your email address, to lioracc at yahoo dot com and I can send you 3 breastfeeding resources for babies with DS too! All the best to you, see you on those awesome lists I hope! I learned so so much from them. BTW our daughter is on 14 supplements currently, and singing, learning new songs, great memory, and SPEAKS. She is language delayed but she speaks 300 words. More if you count what she will copy.

Emily, you are on the right track hon!! Things are gonna be fine, no, GREAT. I'm sure you know that in addition to the regular birth preparations you might have to research like hell and advocate for the BEST CARE for your baby if there are any hitches at all perinatally.
Just research every little thing the Dr. recommends BEFORE you do it....I think delayed cord clamping and delaying all the vaccines as long as possible (or never) is very important for our kids, who do not rid themselves of toxins as well (hence the 1 in 6 - that's 15%-- autism rate in the DS community).
Do research every recommendation - and I mean every recommendation- no matter how rational it sounds (except where lifethreatening). Is it really necessary to supplement with formula on such and such a day? They make this reco based on the calculation of % birth weight lost but I just attended a seminar where they showed research that IV fluids given to mother during labor artificially inflates the birth weight! That would mean that the first X percent was artificially high to begin with.
Is it really necessary to have that bilirubin light if the level is 14.something on day four? (Day four is the peak of bilirubin levels in physiological jaundice - and the AAP says treat with phototherapy from 15-18 and that no MR or problems have ever been documented with Bilirubin under 30 something! However at 18 or 20+ you would want to treat somewhat aggressively, but not 14.something!) Any disruptions to mama-baby will make BF more challenging. There are already a few challenges, but in most cases it CAN be done! Some babies with a really weak suckle need time to build up strength - if totally unable to suck effectively get a Medela Special Needs (Haberman Feeder type) bottle, it might be good to get one in advance *just in case* because hospitals are woefully unprepared to help BF. They probably will have a good pump and you can transfer your colostrum/milk into the Sp Needs bottle. If baby is able to maintain even a little latch, you can try all natural (with a little "Dancer hand" support my little one could BF fine- she was my 3rd baby though) or a SNS Supplementing system by Medela.

Hello and congratulations! There may be more tests (blood) as others have mentioned, in case you want to be more certain before you do all the extra prep work.
A cousin of mine was told her baby had the markers for downs and the baby was born without downs. I had a similar situation too.
I scheduled my high-res ultra sound or whatever it's called (the "better" ultrasound) at a certain medical center, but wasn't sure I would be able to get there, so had another scheduled at a different medical center the following week. At the time, only women of "advanced maternal age" were encouraged to get these more advanced tests. It went along with a blood test. The markers, if any, were compared to the blood screening, and that is how they determined your risk.
My baby wasn't cooperating during the screening. The cord was around it's neck, so they couldn't get a good look at the neck folds. They did see some other markers though...something about a missing nasal bone. I got the vibe that the doctor had no clue what she was doing. The U/S tech, and myself both saw a very prominent nasal bone and the doctor quickly disagreed.
I wound up keeping that second appointment since the baby wasn't cooperating at the first one. Sure enough, the new doctor said he saw a nasal bone...and a good sized one! He didn't find any other markers either. I did get a call from the first doctor's office a few days later saying that with the markers, and the blood work, my risk went from 1 in 311 chance to a 1 in 50 chance for downs syndrome baby.
My daughter was born prematurely a few months later with no chromosomal differences.
I don't blame you if you don't want an amnio...I heard they don't really like to do those any more, with all the other options we have now. I think they should be able to give you a more solid answer with just a blood test and/or another u/s to confirm the markers are still present.
thanks again. Just an update:
I had my level 2 ultrasound today and another soft marker for Down syndrome was found. So, the two soft markers (which they see both of EVERY SINGLE DAY and by themselves mean nothing) combined with my age (41) put baby at about a 10% chance of having Down syndrome. I got some new fangled maternal (non invasive) blood test today which, supposedly, has a 0% false positive and 100% accuracy (for both negative and positive) rate. It's called "Verifi" Should have the results in about a week.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! And how wonderful that you already know that anatomically, the baby is fine! Of course I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that genetically, everything will be fine, too, but if it's not it will be okay.
Our DS2 was diagnosed not with DS, but with spina bifida in week 18. It is a hard journey if you have to prepare yourself for special needs baby, but oh so worth it.
I just want to let you know that I started out super positive, researching up and down the internet in order to find out how to give my baby the best possible life. And suddenly, with allthe appointments and discussions, the fear hit. Amajor depressive episode with panic attacks I needed medication to climb back out of. I am not saying this to scare you or because I am thinkin that it must happen to you, just so you know that if it does, GET HELP! and so you know that it WILL BE OKAY AGAIN.
good luck.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
an illness in which someone restricts the amount of food they eat so that they can drink more alcohol without putting on weight
'Drunkorexia is the name that's been given to the practice of eating less food to save room for calories from alcohol consumption …'TCU Daily Skiff 11th November 2010
'Realising that they're going to drink heavily and not wanting to put on any weight (two large glasses of white wine contain 300 calories, the same as a Snickers chocolate bar) drunkorexics will starve themselves in preparation for a night on the town. Experts say the drunkorexic demographic comprises mainly young women …'The Independent 17th March 2008
Have you ever been tempted to skip dessert in an attempt to cancel out the calorie content of a couple of extra beers? If so, then you might be surprised to know that your calorie-dodging strategy underpins a worrying and potentially serious medical condition known as drunkorexia.
people suffering from the condition, known as drunkorexics, will severely restrict the amount of food they eat by day so that they can drink heavily at night
Drunkorexia is a term coined to refer to the practice of restricting food intake so that more alcohol can be consumed without gaining weight. This is not just an occasional episode of skipping the chocolate fudge cake so that an extra beer won't make any difference, but rather refers to a serious medical condition, perceived by dieticians to reflect a link between binge drinking and eating disorders. People suffering from the condition, known as drunkorexics, will severely restrict the amount of food they eat by day so that they can drink heavily at night. Alternatively, they might try purging – eating and then deliberately making themselves ill so that the food they've eaten isn't properly digested and they can continue to 'fill up' on alcohol later in the day.
The typical drunkorexic is a young woman who may be exposed to a combination of social pressures – peer pressure to drink excessively in a heavy-drinking culture, particularly amongst students, and the pressure to look thin. The only way of balancing the two influences is to drink rather than eat and substitute alcohol for food, such as choosing two glasses of wine instead of the equivalent calories in a chocolate bar. In some cases drunkorexia may also be partly financially motivated – saving money on food means that you have more to spend on alcohol.
Though the link between alcohol abuse and eating disorders has been known of for some time, the term drunkorexia only appeared three or four years ago, and is yet to be officially recognized as a medical term. Originating in the US, it is thought to have initially been coined as a sarcastic dig at celebrities who party and drink to excess, but still manage to remain extremely thin. Over time, however, the term has taken on rather more serious overtones as it has highlighted a genuine disorder identified among weight-conscious young women.
Drunkorexia is a blend of the adjective drunk and the noun anorexia, the term for an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and an obsessive fear of becoming too fat. The form -orexia is based on the Greek word orexis meaning 'appetite', and also forms the basis of related neologisms orthorexia (an obsession with eating healthy foods) and tanorexia (an obsession with getting and maintaining tanned skin).
Following the pattern of anorexia and related form anorexic, the word drunkorexic can be used as an adjective or as a countable noun to refer to a person who has the condition.

Final February AFM says sayonara
A handful of high value deals for Japan and a good flow into the US eased the pressure. But the curtain-closing February AFM is more likely to go down in history as one short on hot product or deals volume.
