When you open a can of creamed corn soup, your expectation is that you can consume it without fear of getting sick. We rely on commercially sterile foods, such as canned foods and other shelf-stable vacuum packaged foods, for everyday meals, as well as for emergency situations, such as natural disasters. In all of these situations, the safety of food is vital. The airtight, low-acid environment of many commercially-sterile foods is a prime target for the growth of bacteria that can produce a lethal toxin that causes botulism.
Fortunately, since FDA established low-acid canned food (LACF) and acidified food (AF) regulations in the 1970's, the commercial processing of commercially sterile foods in the United States has become much safer. One of FDA's requirements is that, with few exceptions, manufacturing supervisors at canneries must have taken an appropriate training course to understand how to make a safe commercially-sterile product. FDA must approve these so-called Better Process Control Schools (BPCS), which numerous large universities throughout the United States offer. These courses provide essential information about how to effectively control the risks associated with the manufacturing of commercially-sterile foods, and how to comply with U.S. law.
With the increasing globalization of the food supply, FDA has recognized that the need for BPCS training has gone beyond our shores. And until recently, it was a challenge for foreign manufacturers to send persons to attend BPCS in the United States because of travel and language barriers. But through FDA's foreign offices, we have supported local universities throughout the world with the capability to host approved BPCS training courses right where they are needed.
China, where there are several hundred establishments registered with FDA to export canned foods to the United States, is a prime example of a robust food export market. In September 2011, through collaboration between FDA's China Office and experts in FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), the first-ever, locally sponsored BPCS course in China was conducted at China Ocean University in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Attendees were able to obtain the content of the course in Mandarin Chinese from local food technology professors, while an FDA technical advisor was available for questions. This June, the university held its second course, with eager attendees coming from mainland China as well as Taiwan.
Closer to home, the Latin American region has established itself as the pantry for the United States, supplying a myriad of food products throughout the year. There are hundreds of food manufacturers in the region that would greatly benefit from the opportunity to send supervisors to a local, approved BPCS. The Latin America Office has identified three universities as having the knowledge base and infrastructure to conduct BPCS courses: Costa Rica's Center for Food Technology Research (CITA), Guatemala's Del Valle University, and Peru's National Agrarian University- La Molina. In addition, FDA's Latin America Office worked with the Inter-American Developmental Bank to obtain funding to provide the approved course materials for the universities in Guatemala and Peru to conduct their own BPCS. These universities will soon provide these courses at a low cost, with capable instructors who speak the local language and understand the local realities of the industry. In Peru, the university recently completed their first BPCS on August 17th, 2012. Representatives from FDA's Latin America office, FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs, and CFSAN were present to answer questions and assist with the delivery of the class. In Costa Rica, CITA has scheduled their first BPCS for August 27-31, 2012, and expects attendees from the Caribbean and Central America region. These are pilot programs, and we have already heard from other countries and institutions that want to participate in similar efforts.
Indian manufacturers produce hundreds of different varieties of vacuum packed ready-to-eat dinner entrees that are imported into the United States. Before 2011, no in-country BPCS was available for these manufacturers. In March 2011, local faculty at Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Sciences in New Delhi taught a BPCS course for the first time. The course cost each student only about $200—this sum paid for instruction, catering for meals and course materials. Students came from throughout India to attend the course. A FDA technical advisor's participation in the course allowed students to ask questions about process filings and engage in technical discussions with FDA. This year, the college held a second class in Sri Lanka for LACF and AF producers located in that country. A third class is planned for later this year.
The FDA overseas offices are proud to have helped stand up these important training events in various parts of the world, and to support local universities as they develop the capacity to put on these courses. And the next time we open that pouch of vacuum-packed curry lentils, we will know that the effort to keep our food safe is truly global.
Irene Chan is the Deputy Country Director of FDA's China Office. Edmundo Garcia, Jr., Assistant Regional Director for FDA's Latin America Office, Daniel Geffin, Food Technologist in FDA's Office of Food Safety, Food Process Evaluation Team, CFSAN, and Bruce Ross, Country Director of FDA's India Office, contributed to this post.

Joseph Christian Leyendecker Biography
JOSEPH CHRISTIAN LEYENDECKER (1874-1951) was born in Montabaur, Germany, and came to America at the age of eight. Showing an early interest in painting, he got his first job at 16 in a Chicago engraving house on the strength of some large pictures he had painted on kitchen oilcloth. In the evenings after work he studied under Vanderpoel at the Chicago Art Institute, and saved for five years to be able to go to France to attend the Academie Julian in Paris.
Upon his return, as a thoroughly trained artist with immense technical facility, Leyendecker had no difficulty in obtaining top commissions for advertising illustrations and cover designs for the leading publications. His first Saturday Evening Post cover was done in 1899, and he did well over 300 more during the next forty years. Among the most famous of these was the annual New Year Baby series.
His advertising illustrations made his clients famous. The Arrow Collar man was a byword for the debonair, handsome male, and women wrote thousands of love letters to him care of Cluett, Peabody & Company. His illustrations for Hart, Schaffner & Marx were equally successful in promoting an image of suited elegance. He was elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1977.
[Text from Walt & Roger Reed, The Illustrator in America 1880-1980, Madison Square Press, 1984]
J.C. Leyendecker
J.C. Leyendecker, whose Arrow Collar ads and Saturday Evening Post covers made him an idol in America's Golden Age of Illustrations. His 322 Saturday Evening Post cover, painted between 1899 and 1943, set the style for the magazine and for the era. Prior to that he was a pioneer of modern lithographic printing, influenced by Lautrec and the Art Nouveaux designs of France. Among his works were Advertisements for Ivory Soap, Arrow Collar, Interwoven Socks, and Chesterfield Cigarettes; poster for magazines as well as recruitment poster for both world wars; and book and magazine illustrations.

WATCH: Demi Lovato performs 'Warrior' for first time at Dignity Gala
Listen to Demi Lovato on iHeartRadio
Demi Lovato has given her first live performance of "Warrior," the deeply personal ballad off her most recent album.
The "X Factor" judge chose to sing it first at a charity event called the Dignity Gala in Los Angeles over the weekend, which supports the end of child trafficking.
While promoting her album earlier this year, Demi spoke very little about what inspired the song's lyrics about being "a little girl who grew up too fast."
The 21-year-old has hinted that the song reflects some kind of abuse she went through as a child, which may have contributed to the cutting and eating disorder issues that landed her in rehab in 2010. She said at the time that only her family members know what the song is really about.
Demi's "Neon Lights" tour is set to kick off in North America in February.

Line 6 MM4 Modulation Station
£100 ono
Nothing opens up new guitar vocabulary quite like modulation. Drenching your tone in tremolo, flange, rotary speaker, chorus or even ring modulation can help you find your singular language on the instrument, while giving your listeners chills, thrills and psychoactive spills. But while run-of-the-mill chorus pedals and off-the-shelf tremolo boxes are rarely more than one-trick ponies, the tone-packed Line 6 MM4 Modulation Modeler rides into town with a treasure trove of vintage analog-style modulation and modern tone manglers, while providing the 24-bit stereo signal path and true bypass demanded of the digital domain.The MM4 features spot-on models based on* classic mod units like the brilliant optical tremolo found in the 1965 Fender® Deluxe Reverb® amp, the badass bias tremolo of the 1960 Vox® AC15, the legendary MXR® Phase 90 favored by Eddie Van Halen, and even the dripping phase effects of the funkadelic Mu-Tron® Bi-Phase. Step into the dimension of rotating speakers with models based on* the Fender® Vibratone and the classic Leslie® 145. Youll also get models based on* a pair of MXR® and A/DAs essential flangers, as well as the Boss® CE-1 Chorus Ensemble that made Andy Summers shimmering sound the cornerstone of the Police and the signature guitar sound of the Eighties.Wanna modulate your entire consciousness? Check out the outrageous Ring Modulator, which will turn your guitar into a talking robot from the outer Zarkon system; select between Amplitude and Frequency Modulation and dont be surprised if a mothership lands on your mixing board. Whether you opt to head for the Twin Peaks of the mysterious tremolos found in the MM4, the chewy pleasures of its mouth-watering Uni-Vibe® model, or the fighter jet swoosh of its creamy flangers, youll be able to save and recall up to four of your own creations (or access the ones weve preloaded) by simply pressing and holding one of the four solid footswitches; team the MM4 up with the EX-1 expression pedal to morph tremolo speed, wave shape, chorus depth or any other of many MM4 variable parameters on the fly and in real-time.And remember, always modulate in moderation. . . except when you modulate to the extreme.Available Models: Opto Tremolo Bias Tremolo Phaser Dual Phaser Panned Phaser U-Vibe Rotary Drum Rotary Drum & Horn Analog Flanger Jet Flanger Analog Chorus Dimension Tri Chorus Pitch Vibrato Ring Modulator PannerMM4 SpecificationsDigital Effects 16Factory Presets 20User Programmable Channels 4Controls Effect Selector, Speed, Depth, Tweak, Tweez, MixAdditional Controls EX-1 Expression Pedal (optional)Mono/ Stereo Stereo in/ Stereo outChassis Color BlueDimensions Length: 10-inches/25.4 cm; Width/Depth: 6-inches/15.24 cm; Height: 2.375-inches; Weight: 3.1 lbs

By and large, people have the wrong idea about Mexico City. To many the name alone summons two words: crime and pollution. No doubt there are areas to be avoided, but the Distrito Federal is packed to the gills with decent people who will usually look out for one another, and for you.
Pollution summons visions of unwalkable, megahighway-filled cities jammed with cars, which this is not. The smog is real: the Aztecs built their city of Tenochtitlan in a high (7,347 feet) valley that often waits days for the air to move. But there are more than 6 million cars in the city, fewer than three for every 10 of 22-million-something inhabitants (reports vary). Truth is, those living in the capital do so more sustainably than most people in the industrialized world, at high—yet comfortable—densities (though not in high-rises), and move mostly on foot and by public transit. (If you are tempted to drive this Gordian knot of merged villages, well, we would recommend that you not.)
Most of Mexico City is aligned on two major intersecting thoroughfares: Paseo de la Reforma and Avenida Insurgentes—at 34 km (21 mi), the longest avenue in the city. Administratively, Mexico City is divided into 16 delegaciones (districts) and about 400 colonias (neighborhoods), many with street names fitting a given theme, such as rivers, philosophers, or revolutionary heroes. The same street can change names as it goes through different colonias. So most street addresses include their colonia (abbreviated as Col.) Unless you're going to a landmark, it's important to tell your taxi driver the name of the colonia and, whenever possible, the cross street.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of all or part of your digestive tract. IBD primarily includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Both usually involve severe diarrhea, pain, fatigue and weight loss. IBD can be debilitating and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications.
Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes long-lasting inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum.
Crohn's disease is an IBD that cause inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract. In Crohn's disease, inflammation often spreads deep into affected tissues. The inflammation can involve different areas of the digestive tract — the large intestine, small intestine or both.
Collagenous (kuh-LAJ-uh-nus) colitis and lymphocytic colitis also are considered inflammatory bowel diseases but are usually regarded separately from classic inflammatory bowel disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease symptoms vary, depending on the severity of inflammation and where it occurs. Symptoms may range from mild to severe. You are likely to have periods of active illness followed by periods of remission.
Signs and symptoms that are common to both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis include:
Ulcerative colitis is classified according to the location of inflammation and severity of symptoms:
Crohn's disease may involve inflammation in different parts of the digestive tract in different people. The most common areas affected are the last part of the small intestine (ileum) and the colon. Inflammation may be confined to the bowel wall, which can lead to narrowing from inflammation or scarring or both (fibrostenosis), or may tunnel through the bowel wall (fistula). Narrowing may lead to a blockage (obstruction). Obstructions, stenosis and fistulas are not associated with ulcerative colitis.
See your doctor if you experience a persistent change in your bowel habits or if you have any of the signs and symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Although inflammatory bowel disease usually isn't fatal, it's a serious disease that, in some cases, may cause life-threatening complications.
The exact cause of inflammatory bowel disease remains unknown. Previously, diet and stress were suspected, but now doctors know that these factors may aggravate but don't cause IBD.
One possible cause is an immune system malfunction. When your immune system tries to fight off an invading virus or bacterium, an abnormal immune response causes the immune system to attack the cells in the digestive tract, too. Heredity also seems to play a role in that IBD is more common in people who have family members with the disease. However, most people with IBD don't have this family history.
Crohn's disease may lead to one or more of the following complications:
Fistulas. Sometimes ulcers can extend completely through the intestinal wall, creating a fistula — an abnormal connection between different body parts. Fistulas can develop between your intestine and skin or between your intestine and another organ. Fistulas near or around the anal area (perianal) are the most common kind.
When fistulas develop in the abdomen, food may bypass areas of the bowel that are necessary for absorption. Fistulas may occur between loops of bowel, into the bladder or vagina, or out through the skin, causing continuous drainage of bowel contents to your skin.
In some cases, a fistula may become infected and form an abscess, which can be life-threatening if not treated.
Medications. Certain medications for Crohn's disease that act by blocking functions of the immune system are associated with a small risk of developing cancers such as lymphoma and skin cancers. They also increase risk of infection.
Corticosteroids can be associated with a risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure. Work with your doctor to determine risks and benefits of medications.
Possible complications of ulcerative colitis include:
Symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease may first prompt a visit to your family doctor or general practitioner. However, you may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating digestive disorders (gastroenterologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of information to discuss, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready and what to expect from your doctor.
Time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions beforehand may help you make the most of your visit. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For inflammatory bowel disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will likely diagnose inflammatory bowel disease only after ruling out other possible causes for your signs and symptoms, including ischemic colitis, infection, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis and colon cancer. He or she will use a combination of tests. To help confirm a diagnosis of IBD, you may have one or more of the following tests and procedures:
The goal of inflammatory bowel disease treatment is to reduce the inflammation that triggers your signs and symptoms. In the best cases, this may lead not only to symptom relief but also to long-term remission and reduced risks of complications. IBD treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery. There is no cure for IBD.
Doctors use one of two approaches to treatment: "step-up," which starts with milder drugs first, versus "top-down," which gives people stronger drugs earlier in the treatment process. Researchers are actively exploring new approaches to treatment for IBD, especially as new technology becomes available. Investigators suggest links between diet, the immune system and bacteria in the digestive tract (microbiome).
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include:
Corticosteroids. These drugs, which include prednisone and hydrocortisone, are generally reserved for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease that doesn't respond to other treatments. They are given orally, intravenously, or by enema or suppository, depending on the part of the digestive tract affected.
Corticosteroids have numerous side effects, including a puffy face, excessive facial hair, night sweats, insomnia and hyperactivity. More-serious side effects include high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cataracts, glaucoma and increased chance of infection. They are not usually given long term.
These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they target your immune system rather than directly treating inflammation. Instead, they suppress the immune response that releases inflammation-inducing chemicals in the intestinal lining. For some people, a combination of these drugs works better than one drug alone. Immunosuppressant drugs include:
Infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira) and golimumab (Simponi). These drugs, called tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors, or "biologics," work by neutralizing a protein produced by your immune system. They are for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who don't respond to or can't tolerate other treatments. Infliximab is given by intravenous injection and the others by subcutaneous injection. They may be combined with other immunosuppressant medications such as azathioprine or mercaptopurine.
People with certain conditions can't take TNF-alpha inhibitors. If you have a history of tuberculosis, fungal infections or hepatitis B, you may experience a reactivation of your disease while on therapy. Your doctor will test you for previous exposure to tuberculosis and hepatitis B and may test you for possible fungal infection as well.
These drugs also are associated with a rare risk of developing certain cancers such as lymphoma and skin cancers.
Natalizumab (Tysabri) and vedolizumab (Entyvio). These drugs work by stopping certain immune cell molecules — integrins — from binding to other cells in your intestinal lining. These drugs are approved for people with moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis with evidence of inflammation who aren't responding well to any other medications.
Because natalizumab is associated with a rare but serious risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy — a brain infection that usually leads to death or severe disability — you must be enrolled in a special restricted distribution program to use it.
Vedolizumab recently was approved for Crohn's disease. It works like natalizumab but appears not to have a risk of brain infection.
People with ulcerative colitis who run fevers will likely be given antibiotics to help prevent or control infection. Antibiotics can reduce the amount of drainage and sometimes heal fistulas and abscesses in people with Crohn's disease.
Researchers also believe antibiotics help reduce harmful intestinal bacteria and suppress the intestine's immune system. They may be used in addition to other medications or when infection is a concern — in cases of perianal Crohn's disease, for example. However, there's no strong evidence that antibiotics are effective for Crohn's disease.
Frequently prescribed antibiotics include:
In addition to controlling inflammation, some medications may help relieve your signs and symptoms, but always talk to your doctor before taking any over-the-counter medications. Depending on the severity of your Crohn's disease, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following:
If diet and lifestyle changes, drug therapy, or other treatments don't relieve your IBD signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery.
Surgery for ulcerative colitis. Surgery can often eliminate ulcerative colitis, but that usually means removing your entire colon and rectum (proctocolectomy). In most cases, this involves a procedure called ileoanal anastomosis that eliminates the need to wear a bag to collect stool. Your surgeon constructs a pouch from the end of your small intestine. The pouch is then attached directly to your anus, allowing you to expel waste relatively normally.
In some cases, a pouch is not possible. Instead, surgeons create a permanent opening in your abdomen (ileal stoma) through which stool is passed for collection in an attached bag.
Surgery for Crohn's disease. Up to one-half of people with Crohn's disease will require at least one surgery. However, surgery does not cure Crohn's disease.
During surgery, the doctor removes a damaged portion of your digestive tract and then reconnects the healthy sections. Surgery may also be used to close fistulas and drain abscesses. A common procedure for Crohn's disease is strictureplasty, which widens a segment of the intestine that has become too narrow.
The benefits of surgery for Crohn's disease are usually temporary. The disease often recurs, frequently near the reconnected tissue. The best approach is to follow surgery with medication to minimize the risk of recurrence. If you have had surgery on your colon or where your small intestine and colon meet, your doctor may recommend a repeat colonoscopy in six to 12 months to look for signs of disease and help with correct treatment.
Sometimes you may feel helpless when facing inflammatory bowel disease. But changes in your diet and lifestyle may help control your symptoms and lengthen the time between flare-ups.
There's no firm evidence that what you eat actually causes inflammatory bowel disease. But certain foods and beverages can aggravate your signs and symptoms, especially during a flare-up.
It can be helpful to keep a food diary to keep track of what you're eating, as well as how you feel. If you discover some foods are causing your symptoms to flare, you can try eliminating those foods. Here are some suggestions that may help:
Take care with fiber. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, high-fiber foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, may make your symptoms worse, especially if you have narrowing in the bowel. If raw fruits and vegetables bother you, try steaming, baking or stewing them.
In general, you may have more problems with foods in the cabbage family, such as broccoli and cauliflower, nuts, seeds, corn, and popcorn. You may be told to limit fiber or go on a low-residue diet if you have a narrowing of your bowel (stricture).
Smoking increases your risk of developing Crohn's disease, and once you have it, smoking can make it worse. People with Crohn's disease who smoke are more likely to have relapses and need medications and repeat surgeries.
Smoking may help prevent ulcerative colitis. However, its harm to overall health outweighs any benefit, and quitting smoking can improve the general health of your digestive tract, as well as provide many other health benefits. Nicotine patches have been used to treat ulcerative colitis, but the results have been disappointing.
The association of stress with Crohn's disease is controversial, but many people who have the disease report symptom flares during high-stress periods. If you have trouble managing stress, try one of these strategies:
Many people with digestive disorders have used some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). However, there are few well-designed studies of their safety and effectiveness.
The majority of alternative therapies aren't regulated by the FDA. Manufacturers can claim that herbal and nutritional supplements are safe and effective but don't need to prove it. What's more, even natural herbs and supplements can have side effects and cause dangerous interactions. Tell your doctor if you decide to try an herbal supplement.
Some commonly used therapies include:
IBD doesn't just affect you physically — it takes an emotional toll as well. If signs and symptoms are severe, your life may revolve around a constant need to run to the toilet. Even if your symptoms are mild, it can be difficult to be out in public. All of these factors can alter your life and may lead to depression. Here are some things you can do:
Although living with IBD can be discouraging, research is ongoing, and the outlook is improving.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for digestive disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for digestive disorders by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for digestive disorders.
Besides the usual tests, the following tests are available at Mayo Clinic:
Absorbing nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can be a problem for people with IBD. At Mayo Clinic, dietitians with expertise in inflammatory bowel disease are part of your treatment team. If your digestive problems are severe, Mayo specialists may recommend special diets or home parenteral nutrition.
Most women with IBD can have successful pregnancies, especially if they can keep the disease in remission during pregnancy. However, it's very important that both men and women with IBD who wish to have a child talk to their doctors. The disease and its treatments may affect the pregnancy and increase the risk of early labor or birth defects. Mayo Clinic doctors have expertise and experience guiding women with IBD through pregnancy and delivery.
At Mayo Clinic, a team of specialists will work together to address your child's needs. Because long-term steroid use can have harmful effects on children, Mayo Clinic doctors often choose to use other anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Mayo Clinic also uses advanced diagnostic tests, such as MR enterography, that don't expose children to ionizing X-ray radiation.
Ulcerative colitis often takes an even greater physical and emotional toll on children and adolescents than it does on adults. The disease can slow children's growth and delay sexual maturation. At Mayo Clinic, young people and their families work closely with psychologists who can help them navigate the day-to-day difficulties of living with ulcerative colitis.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Mayo Clinic has made important contributions to the treatment of IBD over the years, including pioneering the ileal-anal pouch surgery and laparoscopic surgery for ulcerative colitis. A Mayo Clinic researcher discovered that genetic differences significantly affected the way patients metabolized a widely used IBD drug, azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine. Mayo Clinic researchers conducted the first clinical study of Asacol and have shown that nicotine is an effective therapy for ulcerative colitis.
Mayo Clinic's inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) serum and tissue biobank involves all Mayo Clinic campuses. Research into serologic and genetic markers may lead to individualized diagnosis and treatment.
Researchers in the Enteric Neuroscience Program (ENSP) on each of the Mayo Clinic campuses investigate the biology of the neuromuscular system of the gastrointestinal tract. They are conducting numerous clinical trials related to IBD and other conditions.

Two arrests in Mill Park School fire
Portland Fire & Rescue Arson Investigators arrested two men in connection with the March 6, 2013 dumpster fire at Mill Park School in Southeast Portland.

The Lindsey Wilson Singers (pictured) will perform "A
Community Chirstmas Concert"
with the Lindsey Wilson Concert Choir Dec. 2 at Columbia Baptist
Gerald Chafin and choral students preview the Dec. 2 concert.
by LindseyWilsonCollege
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Area residents can enjoy the
sounds of the season on Monday, Dec. 2, with the Lindsey Wilson
College Singers and Concert Choir present "A Community Christmas
The concert will be presented at 7 p.m. CT on
Monday, Dec. 2, at Columbia Baptist Church, 201 Greensburg St. The
concert is free and open to the public.
In addition to the Lindsey Wilson choral ensembles,
the Dec. 2 concert will feature the String Chamber Ensemble: Wansoo
Cho, Hana Park and Hannah Warren, with Saliem Henderson, Denis
Santos and Gabriella Batista.
"We're pulling together some unique forces for this
experience," said LWC Associate Professor of Music and Director of
Choral Ensembles Gerald Chafin.
The Dec. 2 concert will include traditional pieces
-- including a Celtic styling of "I Saw Three Ships" and an a
cappella interpretation of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" -- as
well as a new musical setting of the early-19th century carol
"Silent Night."
One of the more intriguing presentations of the
evening will be when the Lindsey Wilson Singers perform "In the
Silence" as violinist Cho plays "I Wonder As I Wander" by legendary
Kentucky composer John Jacob Niles.
The Singers will also perform three pieces by
Cincinnati composer Howard Helvey: "Fum, Fum, Fum," "Coventry
Carol" and "The Holly Bears a Berry." All three pieces will be
accompanied by two pianos.
"Howard Helvey has expanded the repertoire greatly
for two pianos and choir. The two pianos together are much like an
orchestra -- it's big, it's brassy, it's got unusual chords,"
Chafin said. "So the two pianos become an orchestra in and of
themselves, and the Singers just happen to be doing some singing
along with it."
In celebration of the centennial of the birth of
British composer Benjamin Britten, the Concert Choir will perform
the aggressive "This Little Babe," which is set to a text by the
16th-century British Catholic martyr Robert Southwell.
"You would think that such a nice-sounding title
must be so calm and quiet like a lullaby," Chafin said. "It's very
fast, it's very fiery. Lots of texts that talk about the battle
between Christ and Satan and the birth of the child. And so it's a

"Sing for Joy This Festive Day" and "Sing We Now of

WATCH: Kerry Washington NAILS IT on 'Saturday Night Live!'
The people at Saturday Night Live sure know how to turn a bad PR move around.
In their cold open this past weekend — Kerry Washington hosted! — the long-running series took on their critics and pointed out their own flaws for not having a black actress on staff.
In the opening sketch, we see Jay Pharoah portraying President Obama and in comes Kerry, giving her best Michelle Obama.
"Michelle, this is such a treat. I feel like it's been years since I've seen you!" Jay quipped happily. (He's right. The last actress to portray her was Maya Rudolph, who left in 2007.)
The first couple is then informed that Oprah Winfrey has arrived.
"So, don't you think you should go and get changed?" said mock White House aide Taran Killam.
Kerry tried to resist, asking if Kenan Thompson would step-in … (the actor went on record recently saying that he would no longer dress in drag).
As Kerry exited the oval office, the following message was read and shown on the screen:
"The producers at Saturday Night Live would like to apologize to Kerry Washington for the number of black women she will be asked to play tonight. We made these requests both because Ms. Washington is an actress of considerable range and talent and also because SNL does not currently have a black woman in the cast. As for the latter reason, we agree this is not an ideal situation and look forward to rectifying it in the near future. Unless of course, we fall in love with another white guy first."
Hilarious! Watch here!

Brad Pitt, Furniture Designer?
Brad Pitt has teamed up with furniture maker Frank Pollaro to create his own line of home furnishings. For real!
-Lucia Peters
Wait a second—Brad Pitt, furniture designer? No! Surely you jest!
But no, Betty, I don't. It's true: According to Architectural Digest, Brad Pitt has teamed up with renowned furniture maker Frank Pollaro to create a collection of home furnishings. Brad will unveil about a dozen pieces of his new collection on November 13 in New York; the exhibition will run only three scant days—from the 13th through the 15th—and it's a private event, so hurry on over to Pollaro's website to register. Because, really: Would you pass up the opportunity to own a table, some chairs, or even a bed designed by Brad Pitt?
The actor has long had a love of architecture; as he told Architectural Digest, "I've been doodling ideas for buildings and furniture since the early 1990s, when I first discovered [Charles Rennie] Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright. Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It forever changed by life." Given that he already owns a waterfall, over which he plans to build a Frank Lloyd Wright-esque Fallingwater house of his own… well, we can see exactly how life-changing discovering the architect really was for young Brad.
Read A Birthday Salute to Tilda Swinton's Wonderfully Wacky Red Carpet Style
The new furniture collection all began with the bed, an Art Deco –style piece with a tropical hardwood frame, a curved headboard, and a cantilevered bench big enough to seat Brad's sizeable family. The piece took Pollaro and his team more than two years to make, partially because of the engineering issues related to the simplicity of the design. Brad and Pollaro both agreed that the piece should be exhibited once it was done—and then Brad got ambitious and decided that he wanted to exhibit a whole line of pieces with it. Et voila! The Pollaro-Pitt partnership came into being.
Joining the bed are a dining table, a cocktail table, side tables, a few chairs, and a marble bathtub (!). The line has been described both as "geometric" (the 17-foot-long dining table with a dramatic zigzagging base) and as "sinuous" (the gloss-top side table with a spiral metal base and finished in 24K gold). The collection will be extremely limited—only nine of the bed are being made, for example—so if you want 'em, be prepared to fight for 'em.
The Pitt-Pollaro website isn't up and running yet, but you can bet that it will be soon. In the meantime, stay tuned, because we're sure that images will start hitting the web once the furniture makes its debut next week.
Tell us: Would you furnish your home with pieces designed by Brad Pitt?

For you to dislocate your knee, you have to fully tear some ligaments. They rarely happen except in car crashes, falls from buildings etc. Sounds more like it momentarily bent out of its usual range, which could be confused for a dislocation.
If you're having trouble walking on it and or it's swollen, get it checked out. If it was as gory as you say, you might have torn something that won't get better on its own. When I tore my ACL, LCL and posterolateral corner (v. bad injury), I just hobbled about for a week before going to A and E. It was a stupid thing to do cos I could have damaged it further and it just put me down on the waiting list for MRI and surgery.
Off the shelf knee braces offer very little support if you've damaged a ligament. It's like trying to fix your car with sellotape!
Hope it gets better soon!

Inaugural Alumni Fellowship awarded
Collaborations between faculty, graduate students and postdocs are a mainstay and core value of research at the Salk. These collaborations recently took a new direction— outside the laboratory.
Recognizing the ongoing need for postdoc support, Salk faculty issued a challenge to alumni—those scientists who trained in the Institute's labs—to match their philanthropic contributions dollar for dollar to establish the Alumni Fellowship Fund. Many alumni responded with gifts, and the first Alumni Fellowship has now been awarded, to Seung Choi in Katherine Jones's lab.
"I am extremely grateful for the support the Alumni Fellowship is providing for my work," Choi says. "This will allow me to expand my research into a key molecular pathway involved in the development of cancers."
Choi's research is focused on the Wnt signaling pathway, which controls cell proliferation, differentiation and embryonic stem cell growth. Although the Wnt pathway is normally active only during development, it can become inappropriately reactivated in adult cells, giving rise to colon cancer, melanomas, prostate cancer, breast cancer and several other aggressive malignancies, resulting in a poor prognosis. Therefore, the deregulation of this pathway is directly responsible for the vast majority of human cancers.
Choi is specifically studying the Wnt pathway in human colon and prostate cancers, and he made the surprising discovery that the APC tumor suppressor protein, which is mutated in 85% of human colon cancers, collaborates with a metastatic tumor suppressor, called alpha-catenin, to switch off the expression of genes that drive cell growth and proliferation. Consequently, colon cancer cells with mutant APC protein, or prostate cancers that lack the alpha-catenin tumor suppressor, fail to turn off these same sets of pro-growth genes.
Choi has created a new model for Wnt signaling that makes clear predictions that can be directly tested experimentally, and he is developing a stable human prostate cell line to explore the pathway further.
"The Salk faculty are very generous in their support of science research, and we are excited that Seung Choi was recently selected as the inaugural fellow for this award," says Jones. "The funding from the Salk Alumni Fellowship Fund will provide essential support for this early, promising research."
Please collaborate with Salk faculty in this critically important endeavor and make your contribution today. Your support of the Alumni Fellowship Fund will help especially talented postdocs get a jump on their careers. To learn more, call (858) 453-4100, ext. 1405 or email email@example.com

Julianne Hough is heavenly on the 'Safe Haven' red carpet
(Yahoo!) - Julianne Hough is turning into quite the leading lady!
The 24-year-old, who was once best known as one of the pros on "Dancing With the Stars," dazzled in an ethereal Alberta Ferretti dress at the Hollywood premiere of her latest film, "Safe Haven." Hough donned the light gray, intricately beaded gown with Martin Katz jewels, a Judith Leiber clutch, and an elegant updo.
Although Ryan Seacrest's best gal has usually starred in movies that are heavy on dancing, such as "Footloose" and "Rock of Ages," her latest flick is focused on relationships. The romantic drama is penned by Nicholas Sparks, the man behind "The Notebook" and "Dear John," and directed by Lasse Hallstrom of "The Cider House Rules" and "Dear John." In it, Hough plays a woman haunted by a dark secret who moves to North Carolina and forms a bond with a widower, played by Josh Duhamel, who shows her to find strength in the power of love. Do you need a tissue already?

Jay-Z raps about fatherhood on 'Jay-Z Blue (Daddy Dearest)'
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio
Jay-Z takes on fatherhood on the track "Jay-Z Blue (Daddy Dearest)" from his upcoming album Magna Carta Holy Grail.
In a promotional video for the album posted on Samsung's YouTube account, Jay explains to Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin that the song tackles his own father's absence as well as his own "paranoia of not being a great dad." That sentiment is reflected in lyrics to the track that were recently released via a Samsung Mobile app promoting the album.
On the track, Jay laments that "father never taught me to be a father." He also raps that he watched Blue Ivy take her first steps as well as her first breaths, but he admits that he would be "lying" if he said he "wasn't scared" about fatherhood.
Jay-Z plans to release his upcoming album on July 4th to the first one million Samsung Galaxy users who download the promotional app. Meantime, the rest of the world will have to wait an additional three days before Magna Carta Holy Grail hits stores.

I do not intend to charge anything,I just want to give this Tama a decent home.Here's what I plan to do.I want anyone who wants this Tama to tell me why they want it and to prove they will give this Tama a good home.I will choose the best response and send this Tama to the winner.That is the only fair way I can think to do this.I will take entries until Tommorrow,choose the winner and send the Tama out on Tuesday.I wish you all good luck.

I kept mine running long after the virtual pet craze was over at my school! I used to keep my tama in a nice little fuzzy pouch, and even had a little bed for it. Unfortunately, this tama was lost last year after moving everything out of my room for remodeling, and going off to college as well. I still have the original box and instruction sheet, but I cannot find the tama. I have been looking as hard as I can and I have spent many frustrating hours trying to find it again, but to no avail. I even bought some LR44 batteries, hoping I'd find it.
Currently I have three Tamagotchi Connections (version 1) running and hope to be able to find an original tama sometime.
I am a responsible adult and I would be a good caretaker for this tama. Besides caring for Tamagotchis, I've had a lot of experience taking care of real animals (I have lived on a farm all my life).
I would be extra careful never to lose this one, and now that the remodeling project in my room is finally done, I have a place I could put it where it would absolutely never get lost!
In conclusion, I would give your tama a super-awesome home where it would be greatly appreciated.
Posted 02 May 2005 - 04:27 AM ( #4 )
I am a loving tamagotchi pet owner. I love them so much, and i also love the orginal tamagotchis that started it all. When ever someone says: "Tamagotchi" i instantly think of the orgianal tamagotchis. They will always have a place in my heart.
I would take care of it, love it.
Anyways.. Good luck to eveyone else!

VIDEO: 'Spirit Of Goodyear' to float off into the sunset
(Akron) - The end of an era for the 'Spirit Of Goodyear' blimp. The Akron-Based airship is being retired this weekend following 14 years in service.
The blimp will launch for it's final flight in Ohio Thursday before heading down south to cover some college football games with it's final destination at the Goodyear facility in Pompano Beach, Florida where it will stay in retirement.
Goodyear spokesman Doug Grassian says the blimp, like many Ohioans, is becoming a 'snowbird' with it's retirement to Florida.
The airship has covered many big sporting events including the Kentucky Derby, MLB playoffs, the NBA Finals, countless top rated college football games and NFL games.
Goodyear first broadcast an event from a blimp in 1955 at the Rose Bowl Parade in 1955.

More Nielsen gold during NBC's final Olympics week
Nielsen says NBC can toast its final golden week of Olympics coverage, which again gave it the seven most-watched prime-time telecasts. And there was a bonus: An eighth broadcast from Sochi on Sunday also landed in last week's Top 10.
Monday was NBC's biggest night, seen by more than 23 million viewers to be the week's No. 1 program.
The least-followed night of coverage, Saturday, placed seventh for the week.
"Sochi Gold," aired prior to Sunday's closing ceremonies, ranked ninth.
In eighth place was AMC's "The Walking Dead," with 13 million viewers.
Overall for the week in prime time, NBC averaged nearly 18 million viewers. CBS and Fox were tied with 6 million viewers apiece, followed by ABC.
The week's top-rated cable networks were USA, Disney Channel and TBS.

An old show tune brought me back to my Nana's kitchen when I was a little girl, listening to her sing along as she prepared Shabbat dinner.
As I was driving to pick up my kids from school last week, I flipped through the Sirius XM channels, straying from my presets in hopes of finding Classic College Radio.
As I was speeding through the genres I never tune into, I got to the On Broadway channel and caught the end of Bernadette Peters singing "Time Heals Everything," from the musical Mack and Mabel.
"Tuesday, Thursday. April, August. Next year, some year, time heals everything …"
And I started crying. Not tearing up, mind you. Full blast bawling.
I may have been winding along Kelly Drive, but in my mind I was sitting at my Nana Pearl's kitchen table with my sister, doing Shrinky Dinks or sculpting Play-Doh, listening to her sing those words while she stuffed a lemon and herbs into her roasting chicken for Shabbat dinner. I hadn't heard that song since I was a girl, but I remembered every word.
Nana loved Broadway shows and Stephen Sondheim. She was forever playing soundtracks and standards. Her house was a place of warmth and safety, and the music she played became interwoven with those feelings. On the High Holidays, she listened to a broadcast of services, singing along just as she did to Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park With George.
Experiences at my father's house are set to a Motown and R&B soundtrack, while my mother's home resounded with The Beatles, Steely Dan and Elton John. Certain songs transport me to summers, rooms, vacations, houses or my Nana's kitchen, a place I miss dearly.
In our home, music is on most of the time and during every meal, especially Shabbat. We don't play showtunes, but listen to a wide variety of other genres. My older son loves U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Vampire Weekend and The National. My younger son will sing anything, and he always cracks me up in the car when he belts out the lyrics, often incorrectly (Example: "I'll be alive in a hopeless way!" instead of "We found love in a hopeless place," when singing the chorus from Rihanna's pop song.) I'm sure certain songs have already become linked to our sons' memories — to summers, to rooms, to vacations, to houses and to our kitchen on Shabbat, a place I hope is as precious to them as my Nana's was to me.

USC freshman class is tops
What's garnet and black and packed with superlatives?
Answer: The University of South Carolina freshman class. USC officials are proudly rolling out the welcome mat for the university's biggest and brightest freshman class, one with more South Carolinians, more African Americans and the highest SAT score ever.
Students will move into residence halls on Aug. 13 and begin classes on Aug. 18. About 4,550 freshmen are expected, and all will live on campus. Together, with the undergraduate and graduate student body, they will form a student population of 30,000 on the Columbia campus, including 345 in the South Carolina Honors College, and 45,000 students across the eight-campus USC system.
"We couldn't be more proud of this class and our entire student body across our system," University President Harris Pastides said Friday (Aug. 5). "We're educating more South Carolinians than ever before, and the quality of this class is stellar. It is a testament that this university, as the state's flagship, is fulfilling its mission of educating more South Carolinians."
The projected average SAT for the freshman class is 1198, 10 points above last year, and the projected average high school GPA has increased from 3.72 to 3.83. According to other preliminary numbers, the SAT for the Honors College is 1427, up from 1416 last year, and the Capstone Scholar SAT ticked up five points, to 1323.
USC Executive Director of Admission Scott Verzyl said the increased enrollment also reflects a 15-percent spike in freshman applications, up to 21,000 for seats in this year's class. "The University of South Carolina has acquired a national reputation as a best-value school with excellent academics, vibrant student life and extra-curricular opportunities, and outstanding sports programs," Verzyl said.
"Over the years, faculty and staff at the university have worked hard to provide students with rich experiences, from internships and research opportunities to study abroad choices and academic support that they need to be successful. Clearly, the Carolina secret is out and students from all over South Carolina, as well as all over the country, are choosing to become Gamecocks."
African-American freshman enrollment is expected to be up by 8 percent, and the percentage of males in the freshman class is projected to be 45 percent. The university is expecting 129 new Gamecock Guarantee students. The Gamecock Guarantee is a need-based scholarship for students with family incomes below $25,000.
"This is an important number for us because it shows that we are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in our state and educating our most worthy students," Pastides said. "As the only South Carolina university that provides a need-based, tuition-guaranteed education through our Gamecock Guarantee Program, we are committed to ensuring that our students who are prepared for college academic work can attend USC, no matter their financial means."
Dean of Students Dr. Dennis Pruitt said the university has spent the summer preparing for the students' arrival, including renovating the 544-bed Patterson Hall; expanding dining facilities at the Russell House University Union, increasing the number of advisors in the Student Success Center; adding class sections to enroll more students in the internationally recognized University 101 seminar, and adding staff to the university's Career Center.Parking spaces are available in the Horizon and Discovery parking garages.
"We've also expanded programs in leadership, financial literacy, and broadened opportunities in undergraduate research, study abroad, and service learning to enhance students' experience and prepare them for life beyond the classroom and make them more competitive when they enter the workforce," Pruitt said.
Fifty-eight percent of the class is from South Carolina. In addition to the Palmetto State, 39 other states are represented, with North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts and New York sending the most students. Thirteen countries are represented.
The number of transfer students is estimated to be 1,350, up 8 percent. Pruitt said 110 of these students participated in the statewide technical college bridge program, which provides pre- enrollment programs and assistance to help students make a seamless transition to a four-year college.
And, just in case people think they're seeing double, this class boasts 19 sets of twins and 1 set of triplets in the freshman class!
Verzyl said prospective students for the 2012 academic year can apply by going to the university's web site. Students are encouraged to apply early because officials anticipate that the applicant pool will be even more competitive.

ATLANTA – An "invisible" Coke machine only revealed itself to passing couples on Valentine's Day in the beverage giant's latest vending-centered marketing stunt.
The machine, built into a wall, lit up only when a couple passed and then asked them to shout out their names. A video then played, entertaining the couple as it customized a pair of cans, each with one of their names on its side, delivered to them free of charge.
Single passersby appeared perplexed when they approached and failed to elicit the same reaction.

Rolling Stones to pick up tour again in May
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
The Rolling Stones are returning to the road. Two weeks after the suicide death of frontman Mick Jagger's longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott, the group has announced plans to perform 14 dates on its "14 On Fire" tour over five weeks this summer, mostly in Europe.
Most of the shows had been announced before the Stones postponed the Australian leg of their tour due to Scott's passing but some new dates have been added. One of those dates include a stop in Tel Aviv on June 4th. A May 26th concert in Oslo; the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon on May 28th; and the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on July 3rd are also on the schedule, as are stops in Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands.
Jagger was among those who eulogized Scott at her funeral last week in Los Angeles. The 49-year-old fashion designer was found dead in her Manhattan apartment on March 17th.

NYT accentuates the negative in health care polling article
The New York Times' write-up [1] of its new poll paints a dire picture for health care reform:
Poll Shows Obama's Clout on Health Care Is Eroding
By ADAM NAGOURNEY [2] and MEGAN THEE-BRENAN
President Obama [3]'s ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray the effort as a government takeover that could limit Americans' ability to chose their doctors and course of treatment, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
Americans are concerned that overhauling the health care system would reduce the quality of their care, increase their out-of-pocket health costs and tax bills and limit their options in choosing doctors, treatments and tests, the poll found. The percentage who describe health care costs as a serious threat to the American economy - a central argument made by Mr. Obama - has dropped over the past month.
Uh-oh! Sounds bad, doesn't it? But look how easy it is to write that article differently, based on the same poll [4] (PDF link):
Poll Shows Strong Support for Reform; Obama More Trusted Than GOP
By BIZARRO ADAM NAGOURNEY AND BIZARRO MEGAN THEE-BRENAN
President Obama continues to enjoy significant advantage over his Republican counterparts when it comes to who the public trusts to reform health care, and the American people continue to overwhelmingly favor sweeping reform, even in the face of efforts by opponents to negatively define Mr. Obama's proposals, according to the latest New York Times/CBS poll.
The poll found that fully 90 percent of Americans think it is necessary to make "fundamental changes" or "completely rebuild" the health care system. President Obama enjoys a 29-point advantage over congressional Republicans on the question of who has better ideas to reform the system. The percentage of people who think the health care system needs to be fixed now as part of fixing the overall economy has increased in recent weeks, and the percentage who think the US cannot afford to fix health care now has decreased.
Seventy-six percent of Americans consider the rising cost of health care a threat to the nation's economy. Sixty-six percent support the "government offering everyone a government administered health insurance plan - something like the Medicare coverage that people 65 and older get - that would compete with private health insurance plans?" Sixty-five percent support tax increases on "Americans with high incomes" in order to pay for reform.
Eighty percent of Americans are concerned that if the government does not create a system for providing health care for all Americans, the number of uninsured people will increase. Sixty-six percent are concerned that absent such reform, they personally might be without coverage at some point. Seventy-five percent worry that absent such reform, the cost of their own health care will go up.
Keep that in mind when you see cable news freak out over the Times article tomorrow: The very same poll contains a ton of data that should be encouraging for those who favor significant reform.
UPDATE: Also worth noting: Much of the public skepticism the real New York Times article detailed is based on misconceptions -- like the concern that reform would "limit ... options in choosing doctors." Well, it wouldn't. So who cares if people think it might? If such reform is enacted, they'll pretty quickly see that they can still go to their doctor, and that concern will dissipate.

Recapping Dante: Canto 15, or How to Talk to Your Teacher When You Chance Upon Him in HellBy Alexander Aciman
This winter, we're recapping the Inferno. Read along!
As Dante continues to descend through hell, guided by Virgil, I too read with a guide of my own—Robert Hollander, whose annotated edition of the Inferno I've been using to write about Dante every week. I've read the Hollanders' notes on Canto 15 many times over, but I still find myself getting lost in it—Dante's encounter here is unlike any other.
Pulling at the pilgrim's hem is a scorched, unrecognizable sinner. After a few moments, Dante realizes the man is his old teacher Brunetto Latini, who is now among the sodomites. Siete voi qui, ser Brunetto? Dante asks. Are you here, ser Brunetto? This warm, perhaps even affectionate question is underscored, Hollander explains, by something else: "I think he is also asking 'Are you, wonderful man, down here among the scum?'" It seems, at first, a tender scene: Dante asks if Brunetto will sit with him, and for the first time we see Dante speaking to a sinner about himself and his journey, not standing idly by as a sinner tells his story. It even seems as if the two are catching up. For this reason, Hollander says, readers and critics are often charmed by this scene, but they never examine the relationship between Dante and Brunetto as carefully as they should. Dante's treatment of Brunetto is colder than it appears. Read More
