Talk show host and radio personality Leeza Gibbons could tell something was a bit off with her mother.
She was repeating herself. Her personality was changing, her hygiene declining.
Gibbons added it all up and decided her mother had an alcohol problem and began prepping for an intervention.
But Gibbons was in denial.
The real culprit responsible for her mother's change was one that affects one in eight Americans age 65 or older.
Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior, and is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Alzheimer's Association.
"It was really my mother who gathered us up and said, `Look, I've paid this household bill, I've paid this three times. Something's wrong,"' Gibbons recalls. "So she really forced us to name it and claim it. I wish we had arrived at the process earlier."
With her mother and grandmother passing away from the disease -- her mom died in 2008 -- Gibbons became a leading advocate for Alzheimer's disease caregivers.
Her newest project includes a series of videos featuring her family as they discuss their experience and what they wish they had known, and offer helpful advice.
The series, "Conversations in Caregiving," includes five videos available at AlzheimersDisease.com. Topics range from initial diagnosis to the moment of realization that a long-term care facility is needed for a loved one.
"Right now, we're featuring something I'm very proud of. For the first time since caring for my mom, we got everybody in my family together -- my siblings, my dad, my sister-in-law, all of our children -- and we talked very candidly," Gibbons says.
"We hope that our family interviews, which are posted now, will resonate with others and it will maybe open a window a little bit for their family to begin to chip away at what they need to do to get on this path and to walk it successfully."
Gibbons says she is very proud of the series, especially of the children in her family who took part in it. They were eloquent in expressing their feelings of confusion, she says, yet they were able to show such compassion throughout the 10 years her mother dealt with the disease.
Other videos posted on the website show Gibbons speaking with a panel of experts including a neurologist, elder law attorney and a social worker. Previous videos are archived on the website, and there are frequent live sessions allowing viewers to ask questions of the experts.
AlzheimersDisease.com also includes resources for finding support programs for caregivers, tips, treatment options and more.
"Look, this is hard because nobody dreams of growing up and being like the world's best caregiver. It's just not a goal. This is no one's vision of happily ever after and most people get there just like I did -- you're very resentful and very resistant," Gibbons says.
"I went into it just kicking and screaming and most people do. So the sooner we can help people make peace with their new reality, the better both the loved one with the disease and the family around that person will be."
Gibbons' mantra is "breath, believe, receive."
She says taking a step back to take deep, purposeful breaths can slow down your physiology and emotional state just enough to get a handle on a situation.
Caregivers must believe they are going to make it through the situation at hand, she says. And they must be willing to receive support from the community and receive the input of others who can help.
But the best advice she says she can give caregivers is to practice forgiveness.
"I say that because you're going to mess up. You're going to lose your temper. You're going to feel like you're not doing enough. You're going to feel criticized. You're going to feel resentful. You're going to feel guilty," Gibbons says.
"Let it go and start all over again because you know, lingering in all of that negative energy is just going to make this worse."
Likewise, she says caregivers need to forgive those around them for their shortcomings in the caregiving process, whether it be family or others close to them.
Caregiving for someone who has Alzheimer's disease is particularly difficult, says Gibbons, because it's hard to tell if you're making a difference for them when they are experiencing memory loss and personality changes that include anger and rejection.
That's why, she says, it's important to connect with people who already have gone through the process.
Tina B. Tessina is a psychotherapist in Long Beach featured in the new book "You'd Better Not Die or I'll Kill You: A Caregiver's Survival Guide to Keeping You in Good Health and Good Spirits" (Chronicle Books).
And her thoughts seem to back up Gibbons'.
"Get recommendations from other people who have been through it. A good caregiver is like gold," Tessina writes.
Gibbons also has her own book out, "Take Your Oxygen First: Protecting Your Health and Happiness While Caring for a Loved One with Memory Loss" (LaChance Publishing, 2009), in which she discusses how important it is for caregivers to take care of themselves first.
"Caregivers are in the business of giving out and nurturing, and so they empty out. And then what often happens is the caregivers get sicker than the ones for whom they're caring. You know this thing called compassion fatigue is like an effect and many times caregivers will fail, fade or die before their loved one," Gibbons says.
"We wrote the book so caregivers would realize the ultimate loving act is to first love you enough to care for yourself. That is the best way to offer love and support to your loved one."
Gibbons says that once caregivers find their strength on this path, there is incredible resilience. And she says though all caregivers are heroes, those who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's must find a special strength within them.
While her caregiving days have passed for now, she is determined to continue helping others find that strength.
"These were two of the strongest women in my life and the biggest influences on who I wanted to be and who I am. To see them disappear memory by memory was really devastating, as it is for the millions of families who deal with this thief," Gibbons says.
"That's why the work I do in this area is so personally important to me and I'm so passionately committed to it. We have millions of family caregivers out there who are beginning to find their voice but aren't yet as empowered as they need to be, and that's where we come in."

Reading Level: Grade 8+
Veronica Roth has created a dystopian setting as gritty as the world of the Hunger Games.
In Chicago, the city on the swamp, people belong to one of five factions, each dedicated to a virtue: Erudite (intelligence), Dauntless (brave), Candor (honesty), Amity (peacefulness) and Abnegation (the selfless). At age 16 all must declare their faction. While most chose the faction they were raised in, a few forsake their families and cross to another faction.
16-year-old Beatrice dreads the Choosing Ceremony. Her family is Abnegation. Beatrice has never been able to suppress all her selfish impulses. But if she is not Abnegation, what is she?
At the Choosing Ceremony Beatrice makes a shocking choice. Now she must turn her back on all she knows and loves to make it through the brutal initiation. Only the top ten initiates will be accepted...all others will be forced to live out their lives as one of the factionless.

Good choice. Most guys won't admit it, but I'd have to change one of mine for that option.
Hmm... Interesting...
1. Gasai Yuno- Mirai Nikki : I'll take the craziness and the stalkerish qualities about her ANYDAY.
2. Kirtio's clothing - Sword art/ass online
3. Afro's sword skills - Afro Samurai
4. Issac's suave - Baccano
5.Gin's kimono/ robe - Gintama
I'd only go with the ability to go to one of these alternate realities. Flonyard seems nice.
But if I had to pick four more.
Shana's coat with its armour propities as well as being an extra dimentional pocket.
The ability to talk to animals.
suitable skills for the alternate dimention, be it magic, sword play or somthing more mundane. It would help fit in after all
The obligatory loli sidekick/ side charicter, not for romantic or dubious reason but more because the tend to be awesome. Fate/stay's Illya made a good example for comidy and badassery when she wasn't busy creeping into shiro's bed.
Failing the alternate world, I guess I could live with Nervegear instead
The above post may contain an opinion. Do not consume if alergic.
1. Ichigo's bankai suit (Bleach). Seriously, that is one bad (shut your mouth) outfit.
2. Izayoi powers (guy from Problem children are coming from another world, aren't they?). Who wouldn't want powers that are so freaking powerful that they're an "unknown" ability?
3. Mobile suit. Orbital Frame (Z.O.E.), Gundam, Knightframe (Code Geass), Macross mech, don't care which one, I want one.
4. Animal girl as a friend/sidekick (Aisha, Outlaw Star; Eris, Cat Planet Cuties; Ku-chan, Fox Deity; Kanokon). I don't know why but I find animal girls interesting, especially their behavior towards humans or other creatures.
5. Instant transmission/alchemy. I'm kindof torn between the two because both are cool to have, but I think I would be happy with one or the other.
Living life to the fullest as only I can. Thank you.
Death note,
Sharingan eye,
Unzen's (code name: Monster child) coat,
the Book of Friends,
the Kero Ball
-are just my top 5. I have many others, of course. These are just the material things.
Cute is JUSTICE, Flat is STATUS, Loli is SOUL.
Id like one thing and one thing only..... DEMONBANE
Forever a nub
Rinnegan eyes
Pain's gravitational abilities (almighty push, universal pull, planetary devastation)
Tobi/Obito's transportation technique
The ability to use tailed beast ball
The magic abilities the Mage of Exodus has on "Blast of tempest"
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha
Mangekyō Sharingan or Rinnegan (Naruto)
Rogue's Shadow Dragon Slayer Abilities (Fairy Tail)
Rogue's 2nd Outfit (Fairy Tail)
Rogue's Hair (Fairy Tail)
Dragonball Z's Flying Abilities
The Black Reapers Coat from Darker than Black.
The Parasol machine gun that Kagura uses in Gintama.
The ability to do that awesome hypnosis thing that guy from Angel Beats does. (I forget his name.)

And my own wisecracking imaginary sidekick like in Afro Samurai.

Glasgow Incunabula Project: welcome
Glasgow Incunabula Project: welcome
Welcome to the Glasgow Incunabula Project - a long-term University of Glasgow Library Special Collections project, which came into being in the Spring of 2009.
The Project has two main aims. Firstly, to produce for the first time a separate, stand-alone catalogue of the 1,000 plus incunabula in the University of Glasgow Library in the form of an electronic catalogue published on the University Library's website. Secondly, building on the data contained in the Web Catalogue, to undertake a complete revision of the present records for incunabula scattered throughout the Library's main online catalogue, many of which – produced nearly a century ago – now show deficiencies and inaccuracies.
Please note: the preparation of entries for the Web Catalogue is ongoing, and the website is a work in progress, with new records being added at regular intervals. See the library blog for updates on details of books recently added. We would be glad to receive your comments and suggestions; corrections and additions are also welcome since a work of this nature can never be perfect or complete. The indexes to the Web Catalogue, of course, only relate to work done so far and the introductory sections are provisional (the section on the history of the collections, for example, will only be completed at the end of the Project).
Please contact the following Project staff:
- Jack Baldwin (Honorary Research Fellow, Glasgow Incunabula Project).
- Julie Gardham (Senior Librarian, Special Collections).
- Robert Maclean (Assistant Librarian, Special Collections).
Read the introduction to the project to find out more about our collection of incunabula and the methodology used in creating this Web Catalogue.

Of all of India's major cities, only Delhi was already ancient when the British arrived. Smack in the middle of the northern plains, the city has always been prized by South Asia's rulers—their dwellings and forts still stand in clusters, testaments to a long imperial cycle of sacking and rebuilding. The Moghuls, with their exalted Persian aesthetic, left the most striking legacy, but now, in modern-day India, even they compete for attention with bustling cafés and sleek designer boutiques.
In Delhi, the different versions of modern India all coexist, and its contradictions become abundantly clear. Newly minted junior executives ride in chauffered, air-conditioned comfort as the millions of children on the capital's streets beg for change and hawk magazines. To feed the consumer craze of India's rapidly expanding middle class, gleaming mega-malls on the rise in some parts of the city tower over splendid Moghul monuments, some of which stand crumbling and forgotten in residential areas. It is entirely possible to find your own corner of the capital and feel like you've disovered a secret thanks to its rich, multilayered history.
The ancient epic Mahabharata places the great town of Indraprastha on the banks of the Yamuna River, perhaps in what is now Delhi's Old Fort. Late in the first millennium AD, Delhi became an outpost of the Hindu Rajputs, warrior kings who ruled what's now Rajasthan. However, it was after 1191, when Mohammad Ghori of Central Asia invaded and conquered, that the city acquired its Islamic flavour. Other Afghan and Uzbek sultanates handed Delhi back and forth over the next 300 years, until the mighty Moghuls settled in. Beginning with the invasion of Babur in 1526, the Moghuls shifted their capital between Delhi and Agra until 1858, leaving stunning architecture at both sites, including the buildings at what's now known as Old Delhi.
The fall of the Moghul empire coincided with the rise of the British East India Company, first in Madras and Calcutta and eventually throughout the country. When several of Delhi's Indian garrisons mutinied against their Company employers in 1857, the British suppressed them, moved into the Red Fort, and ousted the aging Moghul emperor. In 1911, with anti-British sentiment growing in Calcutta, they moved their capital from Calcutta to Delhi—the ultimate prize, a place where they could build a truly imperial city that would dwarf the older ones around it. Architect Sir Edwin Lutyens was hired to create New Delhi, a majestic sandstone government complex surrounded by wide, leafy avenues and roundabouts, in contrast to Old Delhi's hectic lanes.
When India gained independence on August 15, 1947, with Jawaharlal Nehru the first prime minister, the subcontinent was partitioned into the secular republic of India and the Muslim nation of Pakistan, which was further divided into West Pakistan (now Pakistan) and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Trapped in potentially hostile new countries, thousands of Muslims left Delhi for Pakistan while millions of Hindu and Sikh refugees streamed in—changing Delhi's cultural overtone almost overnight from Persian to Punjabi.
Since Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi (grandson of Nehru) and his successor, Narasimha Rao, began to liberalize India's planned economy in the late 1980s and early '90s, Delhi has experienced tremendous change. Foreign companies have arrived and hired locals for white-collar jobs, residential enclaves and shopping strips have sprouted in every crevice, and land prices have skyrocketed. Professionals seeking affordable living space now move to the suburbs and drive into town, aggravating the already substantial pollution problem. At the same time, North Indian villagers still come here in search of work and build shanties wherever they can, sometimes in the shadows of forgotten monuments. It is they—Rajasthani women in colourful saris digging holes with pickaxes, men climbing rickety scaffolds in sarong-like lungis—who build new homes for the affluent. Many Delhiites say, with a sigh, that their city is in a perpetual state of flux.
Precisely because of its cheek-by-jowl mixture of Old Delhi's Moghul glory, Central Delhi's European grandeur, and South Delhi's boutiques and lounge bars, Delhi is a profoundly Indian place. In the Delhi Golf Course, Islamic monuments share the fairways with peacocks; in Lodi Garden, they're interspersed with young lovers and families out for a stroll. Hindu temples, Sikh gurdwaras (temples), and secular discos are packed with their respective devotees. Yet, even as private enterprise transforms its business climate and social life, the capital remains a bureaucracy, with political big shots the talk of the town. Delhi is not the most beautiful city in India, but it is in many ways the grandest.

The SMGF database contains 5,500 individuals so far, with more to be added regularly, says project director Scott Woodward. Although SMGF has analyzed DNA samples from 40,000 individuals, the database will include only the 18,000 to 20,000 samples from men. That's because it tracks results from tests on the Y chromosome, which is inherited only by men.
SMGF researchers aim to collect 100,000 samples from around the world, which would give the database wider-ranging genealogical benefits, Woodward says. In addition, SMGF plans to become the only genealogy DNA database to profile test results for chromosomes called autosomes, which store more genetic information than Y-chromosomes — and which both women and men inherit.

Many cars had issues throughout the evening, but Simona pushed hard and managed to stay out of the debris during all 250 laps. Even though she was down on power, and that's crucial on an oval, she was still able to keep up with the pace.
Simona de Silvestro: "I'm pretty happy with 14th, that's our second best finish this year, and it was on an oval. I think there was a lot of survival going on out there, but I think we had a really strong race car. It was really comfortable out there so I could stay in the tow of other people. A big thanks to the team. Even when we know it's going to be a tough weekend we always hope for the best. I think today we had a pretty good result at the end. Hopefully we'll get some improvements for the road courses and start sneaking into the top-ten."
Keith Wiggins, team owner: "I think we should be quite happy. Bottom line is Simona did a great race. She got some more confidence and practice on the oval. Obviously we were down on power so she suffered a bit in traffic, but with the momentum when she was up to speed and we were doing the same lap times as most of the field, which is really good."

Q 1: I have no idea what OpenSceneGraph is, can you give me a short description?
A: It is a 3D graphics library for C++ programmers. A SceneGraph library allows you to represent objects in a scene with a graph data structure which allows you to group related objects that share some properties together so you can specify common properties for the whole group in one place. OpenSceneGraph can then be used to automatically manage things like the level of detail necessary to draw the scene faithfully but without unnecessary detail which slows down the graphics hardware drawing the scene.

To Celebrate and Serve
News & Events
More than 300 people gathered in Flynn Dining Commons to celebrate BSU's 28th annual observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Those in attendance included students and teachers from public schools in Brockton and New Bedford, as well as invited guests and honorees.
"We come from different towns, schools and families but we gather here today to share a meal, honor Dr. Marin Luther King, Jr., and serve our communities," said Dr. Anna Bradfield, executive director of university initiatives, as she welcomed the gathering.
Dr. Dana Mohler-Faria, presiding over his 12th MLK breakfast at Bridgewater, said, "It is wonderful to see so many people gathered here this morning – particularly so many young people who are no strangers here and have been engaged with us in valuable educational projects. We're delighted to have you here."
Traditionally, the breakfast was held to celebrate Dr. King's life. In recent years, the event has transitioned into two parts: the breakfast, followed by a day of service, where members of the BSU community and others volunteer on campus and throughout the region.
The president told the audience that he was in Belize last week and visited what he described as a "very poor school." Afterward, he heard on the radio a story about a professional baseball player and his $30 million contract. "I thought, if this school, with these young children, had only half a million dollars, it would transform their lives."
"It caused me," he continued, "and it should cause all of us, to think about our values. How do we take those young people in Belize – or in New Bedford, or Brockton, or Bridgewater or Boston – and create for them the kinds of opportunities that allow them to lift themselves out of the despair of poverty and ultimately impact other people's lives? That's what Dr. King was about, and that is what this program is about."
The president introduced Mr. Ron Burton, Jr., the 2014 recipient of the university's Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Distinguished Service Award. He is the director of the Ron Burton Training Village and director of community athletic programs for the Boston Red Sox. He also serves as director of the Ron Burton Training Village, which each year works with 130 low-income boys and is devoted to the spiritual, educational, social and physical development of these young men.
"His work touches the lives of over 6,000 young people in the commonwealth and he is a fine example of the spirit of Dr. King's work," President Mohler-Faria said.
As part of the program young people from area elementary, middle school and high schools were honored for their essays written to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream Speech," and President Mohler-Faria presented trophies to the award recipients.

A traditional night out at the movies will be redefined in Scottsdale this December after the opening of IPic Theaters.
The new, eight-auditorium cinema will seat between 71 and 91 people per theater featuring plush seats, pillows, blankets and state-of-the art technology.
IPic movie goers will have the option of choosing between two types of seating: premium seats will feature 30-inch leather chairs or Gold Class seats with custom recliners and foot rests that also offer food-and-beverage service during the movie as well as complimentary popcorn and valet parking.
Dining selections will include a seasonal menu, a 60-bottle wine list, cocktails, beer, breads, salads and desserts. Food and beverage service is available before or after the movie. Those items may also be brought directly into the theater.
A smart phone application is in the works that will enable guests to order food from their seat.
"We will give them as little or as much service as they want," says Mark Mulcahy, Vice President of Marketing for IPic Theaters. "We're trying to make sure the people who come in have the greatest experience possible."
The theater's opening couldn't have come at a better time. Its Dec. 17 date will allow it to benefit from the holiday season's offering of such first-run films including Little Fockers, Tron and True Grit. In an effort to promote a more stress-free environment for its viewers, iPic will not show pre-movie advertisements on the screen.
Apart from bringing an upscale form of movie-going to the Scottsdale area, the theater is also a boon the economy by creating 150 new jobs.
Open-call interviews will be held daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until all positions are filled. Positions include sales and marketing, guest services, and bartending. All new employees will go through a three-week training session. Training will include educating workers on proper food and wine pairing.
In addition to providing jobs, the theater hopes to further boost the economy by bringing in more business to the surrounding Scottsdale area.
"This is a movie town," Mulcahy says. "It will be a great asset to Scottsdale's night life and will increase business for the Scottsdale Quarter as well as driving people over here for movies."
Until its Dec. 17 opening, IPic is offering a free movie ticket for those who sign up online for its membership services. Members will also receive discounts for online advanced ticket purchases, member-only movie screenings along with weekday promotional events.
"They're just going to have a better night out," Mulcahy says. "People like to go out and people like to eat and we're bringing it all to them."

Photo gallery: Coach Shot In San Bernardino
A high school basketball coach who was shot in a San Bernardino park last month is not cooperating with authorities investigating the incident, according to San Bernardino Police Chief Robert Handy.
Steve Johnson, who coaches at Eisenhower High in Rialto, has given investigators conflicting accounts of what happened Jan. 21, when Johnson was shot in Seccombe Lake Park shortly before 8 p.m.
"We have reason to believe that Mr. Johnson withheld some information in his statement to us, and his failure to be completely honest did hinder our investigation of the crime he was a victim of," Handy said in a statement released Friday. "We will submit a case to the district attorney for review regarding Mr. Johnson's actions."
Johnson was shot four times in the upper torso while sitting in the parking area at Seccombe Lake Park in downtown San Bernardino.
Johnson reportedly told police he stopped at the park to urinate and when he was done three black men attempted to rob him.
"We have no reason to doubt that he was the victim of an attempted robbery followed by a shooting at Seccombe Lake Park," Handy said. "And we are continuing to pursue that investigation as well."
The gunman demanded Johnson's wallet. When he said he didn't have it, the gunman opened fire, police said.
Johnson remained in fair condition Friday at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
The Rialto Unified School District could not be reached for comment Friday.
The district has pledged to help police.
"The district will cooperate with the San Bernardino Police Department as they investigate this case," district spokeswoman Syeda Jafri said last week.

How High is "High-Fiber"? (Nutrition Buzzwords, Demystified)by Toby Amidor in Uncategorized, August 4, 2014
Ever wondered what that "high-fiber" cereal is actually providing in the way of fiber? (And is it less impressive than the box labeled "fiber-rich"?) Or ever considered how many calories are in a "low-calorie" sports drink?
In order for a food company to splash words like "high in fiber" across its packaging, the product must adhere to specific guidelines established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA also regulates claims at the other end of the spectrum: Foods that boast being "low in" or "free" of something (such as sodium), must also meet requirements. Here's a cheat sheet of what's behind the buzzwords.

Birds do it, bees do it, and yes, even chimpanzees do it. They all dote on their young. And now a new theory of aging suggests that nurturing offspring is just as important as fertility and reproduction for the evolution of a species' longevity and long-term survival.
The new theory, proposed by Ronald D. Lee, Ph.D., of University of California, Berkeley, suggests that natural selection favors animals capable of devoting energy and resources to insuring survival of the next generation. After birth, all mammals including primates, all birds, many insects and some fish nurture their offspring. Post-reproductive bottle nose dolphins and pilot whales, for instance, babysit, guard and even breastfeed their grandchildren. And in certain primates, the gender that provides the primary care to offspring tends to have a higher life expectancy. This suggests that nurturing behavior and longevity evolved together over time.
The hypothesis appears in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences Online Early Edition the week of July 14, (doi:10.1073/pnas.1530303100). This work was supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"This theory offers a fresh look at how longevity and nurturing behavior may have evolved and challenges many pre-existing ideas about the nature of aging. It is an important concept that opens the door to new ways of thinking about longevity," says Richard Suzman, Ph.D., Associate Director of the NIA for the Behavioral and Social Research Program.
According to previous theory, since the primary evolutionary goal of any species is propagation, natural selection against aging and mortality weaken once an organism begins to reproduce, and its remaining fertility declines. Weaker selection leads to generalized deterioration and aging. But this theory has several flaws, Dr. Lee says. It doesn't account, for instance, for extended post-reproductive survival, juvenile mortality falling with age, and the evolution of low levels of fertility combined with heavy investment in the nurturing of offspring. The new theory attempts to fill in many of these gaps.

Lou Reed had kidney transplant at Cleveland Clinic
(Cleveland) - Music legend Lou Reed is recovering after getting a kidney transplant at Cleveland Clinic last month.
The 70-year-old Reed tweeted: "I would like to thank the Cleveland Clinic and all of you around the world who have lifted me with prayer and wishes of love. Your support has buoyed me forever and I am deeply grateful. I am also really up and strong. Thanks to your spirit."
Reed's wife, musician and performance artist Laurie Anderson, spoke about his recent health troubles in an interview with the Times of London on Saturday, saying, "It's as serious as it gets. He was dying. You don't get it for fun."
A post on Reed's Facebook from Anderson clarified the statement, "When I was speaking recently with a journalist from the London Times I said, 'I don't think Lou will ever fully recover.' We were not talking about his physical condition. Lou is in the best physical shape in years - strong and energetic. He has a wonderful new life now and can do anything he wants. We were talking about how a traumatic event - a surgery or a calamity - can change your life. These things make you reevaluate everything in your life. And while they mark you forever, these traumas can be extremely positive. And I think for Lou this is especially true. He gets a chance to see things with enormous perspective. We couldn't be happier at the way this turned out."
Reed seems to agree, saying on Facebook, "I am a triumph of modern medicine, physics and chemistry. I am bigger and stronger than stronger than ever. My Chen Taiji and health regimen has served me well all of these years, thanks to Master Ren Guang-yi. I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future.
Anderson told the times that Reed had the surgery at the Cleveland Clinic instead of his New York hometown because of the "dysfunctional" state of hospitals in New York.

Just when things couldn't get worse, Mia discovers a long—forgotten diary of a teenage princess of Genovia. It could be just the inspiration Mia needs to write her speech—but what it reveals might change everything.

Road Test: Lancôme Glamour Eyes Kit With Michelle Phan
Whether you're the YouTube makeup artist's biggest fan or just want totally glam eyes, this little kit by Lancôme will do the trick!
-Diana Denza
It's no secret that Michelle Phan is quite the YouTube sensation. With nearly 2 million fans and 500 million video views, this 24-year-old boasts more subscribers than world famous celebrities like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.
So, it comes as no surprise that this Internet beauty guru recently collaborated with Lancôme. The result? A stunning, highly pigmented shadow palette!
Michelle's Glamour Eyes kit is exclusively available at Sephora stores and online for a limited time. It includes the Chic by Chelle palette, Artliner, and Hypnôse Drama Mascara.
Though the set is priced at a hefty $59.50, it's actually somewhat of a steal. If you were to purchase each product separately, the total would be $96 (Yes, I did the math. Eek!). The shadow palette alone retails for $48! There's no doubt that this look could be recreated on the cheap, but if you're looking for lasting power, the splurge is worth it.
The palette includes a nude base coat, purple lid color, hazelnut crease color, silver highlighter, and dark grey liner. This pocket sized set provides everything you need to make your eyes look enchanting with your favorite little black dress. The glimmering highlighter gives you just the right amount of shine for a glam evening out. No, you won't look like an overexcited teen on prom night.
Read Road Test: Klix Makeup Brushes
These silky hues last and last. And the liquid liner's brush is pencil-sharp and thin, making application a breeze. Meanwhile, the mascara's curved brush is lash-lengthening but doesn't create clumps. Even better, these products stay put all night. No dreaded raccoon eyes to speak of!
The only issue I had was with the versatility factor. Since the lid color is a rich purple, women might find it impossible to wear outside of a fancy restaurant or office party. On Sephora's YouTube channel, Michelle attempts to create three different looks using the palette. Unfortunately, this only proves the product's lack of versatility.
When she demonstrated the natural look, it almost seemed that she had been attacked in bar brawl. Her last Diva look was clownish and entirely overdone. If you don't have time to sit through the video, picture this: bursts of purple. Attention grabbing, yes. But not in a good way! And if Michelle can't pull it off, how is someone like me expected to?
You're better off skipping the first video and taking a stab at it on your own. But the second is great for gals with a bit of time on their hands and a huge impression to make.
You might just want to watch the video twice before actually trying it, since there are quite a few steps. Also, it was a bit disappointing to notice that I couldn't recreate that look without purchasing an additional silver eyeliner and cosmetic glitter. Aren't we already dropping enough dough on the original kit?
Overall, this is a great treat for women who love that regal purple color and lots of shine. But do yourself a favor and skip Michelle's first video. She's recorded infinitely better ones in the past if you need a bit of professional guidance. Check out her page to begin your immersion into the world of beauty products.
Betty tip: use your fierce new look to get your beau to take you somewhere special on date night. Hope we'll see you out and about!

LONG BEACH — The Long Beach Unified Board of Education on Tuesday unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding between the school district and New City School that will allow the troubled charter school system to keep its doors open.
The 500-student New City K-8 on Long Beach Boulevard has been in danger of losing its charter due to concerns over the school's performance.
Last year, New City was flagged by the state for its extremely low scores on California's standardized tests. The LBUSD has since had serious concerns over the school's financial and academic struggles, officials have said.
However, LBUSD officials said they are hopeful that district staff and New City can work together over the next several months to fix the deficiencies.
In a pubic hearing Aug. 20, the school board decided not to revoke the school's charter in favor of a memorandum that outlines steps that the school must take to prove its financial and academic stability. The school will face losing its charter if the requirements aren't met.
New City Executive Director Sabrina Bow has said the school has established a sound financial plan that will secure the school's future at its current location and pull the school out of debt as early as December.
New City, along with most schools in the LBUSD, will start its first day of school Wednesday.

23.00: Just popped into the dressing room to see how the band are doing. Not surprisingly, they're all really pleased with how tonight and the last few shows have gone. And now looking forward to a day off ahead of Sunday's Brighton show.
22.48: For those of you asking for a setlist, here you go...
22.43: And that's it - the show is over, and a very tired but extremely happy band have headed back to the dressing room. As Tom said to the crowd, that was quite a special night.
22.31: Only a song and a bit to go, so we're off to capture the end of the show...
22.29: Few more of Tom from just now...
Check this out, Tom can sing *and* spin a glowing basketball on his finger...
22.27: Here they are, coming off after the main set, for a little breather and a drink of water before the encore...
22.24: Off to get some more...
22.23: You know how we said the band are clearly buzzing...
22.22: And from This Is The Last Time
22.16: These were during Is It Any Wonder?
22.14: Back with more pics. There really is an amazing atmosphere out there tonight. You can tell how much the band are buzzing.
22.02: The four of them. They're now on the 16th of 23 songs, so we'd better get out there and take some more photos. Hope you're enjoying them, wherever you are...
22.00: Tom, who was quite nervous before the show tonight, but whose voice is sounding just wonderful.
21.59: That bar isn't getting any busier. Clearly nobody wants to miss a moment of what's been a thrilling show so far....
21.57: The view from the sound desk...
21.53: Tom on the piano during (the wonderful) A Bad Dream
(Tim and Tom seem to be bowing at each other in that one)
21.42: Off to a) get some more pics and b) hear A Bad Dream...
21.39: The view from the back (although not the top tier).
There's hardly anyone at the bar, which is always a sign of a good show..
21.31: Off to take some more (thanks for all the emails you're still sending!)
21.27: Here's a few more live shots, from during Silenced By The Night and Everybody's Changing
21.23: More pics coming. There's an incredible atmosphere out there (Tom just said it gave him goosebumps during Silenced By The Night.)
21.08: And here's some photos from the first couple of songs...
21.02: On their way on...
21.00: They're on stage. The crowd is electric. And pictures are coming...
20.42: Final preparations are underway in the dressing room. The band will be on in about three minutes. We're off to take some photos. Back soon...
20.30: Fifteen minutes to go until stage time, and Richard and Jesse just spotted a framed T-shirt from a Metallica show which they actually came to right here at The O2.
20.27: Mylo the cat in Paraguay seems to be liking the blog too...
20.25: Rosmi in Peru's kittens are enjoying the blog too. They're named Oli and Rikki (apparently Richard chose the names)
20.22: Richard and Jesse are warming up now (doing vocal exercises, to get their voices ready for the show)
20.17: Ben and his hamster (Jesse the Accelerator) are reading the blog from Cape Town, South Africa
20.13: Tom's in the band room, warming up on the piano with a rousing version of You Are Young to an audience of one (us).
20.11: Jeb is reading the blog on a balcony in Bangkok (and emailed a pic to firstname.lastname@example.com)
20.02: Here are some photos of Wolf Gang, who are sounding really good out there.
19.47: Support band Wolf Gang have just come on. So we're popping off to take a few photos of them...
19.45: One hour until show time and we just popped in to see tour manager Colin, to ask how the UK arena shows have been so far. "Outstanding. Anybody who's had a ticket for these shows is a very lucky person. I genuinely mean that."
19.40: Jesse Quin. Master of poses.
19.35: Here's Richard picking up some ear defenders for his niece who is seeing her first ever Keane show tonight! "I can't wait to hear what she makes of it," says Richard.
19.30: Those pictures are still coming thick and fast to firstname.lastname@example.com (like this one from Rebeca in Sao Paulo)
19.28: The music room, where Keane will be warming up shortly...
19.13: Here are the timings for tonight. So just over 90 minutes until Keane are on...
19.04: We could keep posting these all night - and there are more than 50 that we haven't got to yet - but we should probably leave it there. But big thanks to everyone who sent one - including Stefanie, whose seems an appropriate one to end on...
19.02: Peter is reading the blog in the carpark outside the venue!
19.00: Erika in Peru is clearly in the festive spirit!
18.57: Christine from Wisconsin, we are liking the look of your lamp.
18.55: Su in Sao Paulo just received a Keane-y cube from a Keane-loving friend. Is it just us, or is it quite amazing that people literally all over the world are reading this right now?
18.53: It's Benita the rabbit from Peru! (Benita appears to be browsing the Keane Shop. Not sure we really have anything suitable for bunnies.)
18.52: Wow, check out the snow where Maria is in Finland...
18.51: Joy in Tulsa, Oklahoma is reading the blog at work. Hope we're not distracting you *too* much, Joy.
18.50: Monica in Chile is reading the blog while her mother decorates the Christmas tree (yeah, Monica thinks it's a bit early too)
18.46: Katie is in New York and has some cool things...
18.45: Amalia in Argentina has quite a lot of Keane stuff...!
18.44: Wow, you've sent LOADS of pictures for our photo project (see 18.08). Let's begin with Aline who's in an art college in Brazil...
18.39: We've also had an email from the husband of Dawn (who sent the cocktail menu) begging us to open the doors to the venue before she bankrupts him with £6.95 drinks. We'd best not tell him that her email with the picture arrived several hours ago...
18.38: Sat next to Richard at dinner, who was looking at that photo of the cocktail menu. After some deliberation, he decided that he'd like a Call Me What You Like delivered to his drumkit during the show, please.
18.35: Here's the menu; the delicious chicken katsu curry we had; and the cake we managed to resist...
18.34: And, having eaten far too quickly. we're back. (Hiccup.)
18.13: While you work on those photos (see 18.08), we're going to pop off and grab something to eat. And from then on in, it'll be uninterupted build-up to the show. Back soon...
18.08: OK, it's time we set you a photo project. Please take a photo of something Keane-ish (a CD, a T-shirt, this website) in front of something which illustrates where you're reading this from, and then email it to email@example.com (ideally not too massive a picture - 1000px wide at most, please). Thanks!
18.05: Here are the Asian travel tips you've emailed in for Tim:
- Chi from Taoyuan city, Taiwan says the coffee in Vietnam is great
- Carmen in Spain recommends Tim spending a few days in the north of Thailand
We shall pass those on...
18.02: Thanks for all the emails - from literally all over Europe, North & South America and Asia. You folks are incredible.
18.00: Check out what Kaz and Dawn - who are already at The O2 - have found in one of the bars (and emailed to email@example.com)...
Amazing. Ours is an Is It Any Wonder, please.
17.51: Green men
17.44: You might think that Tom has the world at his feet. It's actually a protective hard hat.
17.42: On an arty roll now (buoyed by the fact that the km.com photo upload thing has started working speedily again)
17.40: Another "arty" Tom one. (Thanks for all the emails you've been sending to firstname.lastname@example.com by the way, there are LOADS of them we need to get through...)
17.37: Yes, there's a man lying on the stage. Not exactly sure why...
17.32: As long-term km.com blog readers will know, black and white = arty
17.31: Richard, having a little wander. Did we mention that The O2 is Quite Big?
17:29:: Here's Tim during soundcheck...
17.25: Apologies for the slightly slow service, there seem to be some gremlins in km.com today which are slowing us up a little. Hope it's working OK for you on the front end. Here's a photo of Tom from soundcheck just niow, singing Nothing In My Way.
17.15: When you play in a venue as world famous as The O2 (The Rolling Stones played here last night), you've got to have rock shapes. Luckily, Jesse has rock shapes...
17.08: Soundcheck photos incoming....
16.54 : Ooh, sounds like soundcheck has started. Off to get some pics...
16.53: Richard is already here too, as is Jesse. And Tom should be here any minute. Here's Tim in the dressing room with Richard...
16.49: Check *this* out. For the first time in the history of doing Keane live blogs (the first one was at Brighton in 2006), we've been put in a designated room with its own sign. Thanks Colin TMTTS (Tour Manager to the Stars).
Needless to say, that sign will be coming home with us tonight.
16.43: Apologies for the gap in blog service. A fire alarm was going off for a while and it wasn't clear whether we had to leave the building. But it's stopped now (apparently it was a test), so we're back.
Before that drama, we'd popped into the dressing room, where Tim is reading a travel book about some places that he's hoping to travel to next year. If anyone's reading from any of them, please email us on firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us some highlights he should look out for.
16.28: And here's a couple taken in the entrance to the venue (which was also home to the basketball and gymnastics at the London 2012 Olympics).
16.19: Here are a few shots of the outside of the venue which was originally built as the Millennium Dome.As you'll gather from the pics, they now have a thing where you can WALK OVER THE TOP of the Dome. Which, you'd imagine, would be extremely chilly on a day like today.
16.18: Hello and welcome to our live blog from The O2 in London, an arena where Keane will make their fourth career appearance tonight. If you'd like to say hello, then just bang us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (or, of course, leave a comment below).
16.16: km.com is in the O2 house!

You guys need to come to Cardiff again! It's so hard for a girl to get to see you when you play in places she can't get to!
Brilliant as per usual.....but then again I always know that I'm going to have a blast at ANY Keane gig.....loved loved LOVED the disco balls....and the effect they had on the whole arena....just made the night feel even more special because it felt like everyone had their own little spotlight for a while and by doing that the band could really SEE the HUGE amount of people who had come to see them.......gave me a warm feeling in my heart. Thanks Keane...long may your success continue xx
The show looks terrific. I really think it should've been recorded. Any chance for the new o2 arena live DVD guys? Lots of love xxx
Merci pour ce super concert, j'ai encore les échos dans la tête ! Je suis venu de Paris (après pas mal d'embûches : pertes de mes papiers, retard de train) mais j'étais là dans cette salle de O2 Arena. Une "petite" bière au pub près de l'entrée (Une Murphy's) où ils passaient en boucle du Keane... Merci à ma famille pour ce week-end et ce concert pour mes 45 ans ! Bravo Keane pour votre chaleur, votre humilité et l'energie que vous dégagez... Carry on ! Luv
I had the time of my life at the O2 last Friday, thank you soooo much guys!! After seeing you in Paris (twice), London (twice) and Zurich, can't wait to be in NY in January!! :-)) In the meantime, have great vacations!
I was there! what an amazing show, I have been a devoted fan since 2004, Tom your voice is incredible it melts me every time I hear it! please come back to Plymouth xxxx
Wonderful as always!!! I love reading through this and knowing that you guys had a great show (which I was expecting!) and were back at the O2!! Congrats!
Thanks to you guys for sharing such wonderful pics with us, you really get the feeling of staying there. I'm sure your voice and music were perfect as always. You're the best!!! Petons des de Barcelona!!!!!!!!
Was at the 02 xx best night of my life xx thanks lads xx
After Keane at Pinkpop & Keane at HMH Amsterdam traveled from Holland to the O2 Arena to see them again! Still dreamin' of the show. It was an aaawesome night!!! Thank you guys! Can't get enough of your concerts. X
ohhhhh such a beauty, Tim!!!!! Hoping you'll have the best of FUN in your forthcoming Asian vacay! You deserve it, luv! Thank you, Colin, for giving all the people in the world of KEANE this always-ever-fun-filled Live Blog! Tom, hope all's better with you now. Health is wealth, my luv! Richard & Jesse, take care, boys! God bless & Merry Christmas!!!
Just catching up on the blog, now that I'm home and rested after an amazing trip to London. Thanks for giving us a great record of such happy memories - haven't yet found words to describe how awesome the show was! Sarah xx
But dear sweet Keane, can we please have some Manchester photo's, we all said 'cheese' for Richard ;/
SALUT LES GARCONS ** cest de ma chambre d'hotel à Londres que je vous envoie mes felicitations pour ce MAJESTUEUX concert. je devais etre parmis vous hier soir mais il m est arrive une mésaventue dece faite je suis arrive le show venait de se finir coyez moi c'est le coeur tres gros que je suis rentree a lhotel comme maigre consolation je me suis acheter votre nouveau teeshirt((taille s mais unpeu grand ))) jespere que j'aurais tres vite l'occassion devous applaudir demain je quitte votrecher pays avec une grosse deception et beaucoup de chagrin ** Bravo a vous pour ce TRIOMPHE je vous souhaite tout le meilleur je vous adoreeeeeeeeeeee avec tout mon AMOUR gros bisous a tous
En Barcelona Tom con toda la sinceridad, cosa que le agradezco mucho, se disculpó porqué venían muy cansados. Pero Jesse se sentó al lado de la batería de Richard. Me pareció estraño por su parte. Aquí han estado a mi parecer muy espectaculares.
it's looking great!
Casí acaba el año!!! espero que este día este lleno de éxitos y lleno de paz, que se fortalezcan y ganar fuerza para el nuevo dia de trabajo.Gracias Keane por lo grandes momentos que he pasada a distancia con ustedes.
Grazie Keanemusic per questo fantastico liveblog, sono davvero felice di sapere che i Keane, nonostante la stanchezza, siano soddisfatti di come sono andati questi ultimi live, si vede che ci mettono passione e impegno nel loro lavoro, e tutto questo loro amore nel fare la musica lo trasmettono con tanta energia, entusiasmo e magia a tutto il loro pubblico!!! Un abbraccio a tutta la band e spero che quanto prima ci sia un nuovo liveblog, ogni volta è emozionante seguirli in tempo reale!!! Sabrina da Catania- Sicily.
THANK YOU KEane -OH MY God what a brilliant show! The stage in the middle of the 02 was such a brilliant idea. I hate those big venues but you manage to make the 02 imade it accessible to everybody - brilliant! Tom my daughter doesn't like Keane but I think you have new convert she was up and rocking all night! We stood up quite early on and people were getting annoyed with us and then Tom told everybody to get up! There was no sitting down (apart from during sea fog and she has no time) for us. THANK You GUYS So Much!!
Thank you so much for these wonderful pictures!!!!! Keane is truly amazing. :D
UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT !!! I am sure this. I couldn't be here. Tim has done another CD yet. This is the moment. Barcelona. T'aprecio. Marisa.
Saludos!!!!, cuando me preguntan por la musica que me gustaría escuchar algun día y cual es mi deseo para Santa este año, he respondido que pediría escuchar cantar a Keane tan cerca como sea posible, en verdad les digo que en éste año, 2012, sabía que llegaría lo mejor a mi vida, y ha llegado, jamas olvidaré la noche en que los conocía en un concierto, desde ese entonces no he podido despegarme de su música. Me encanta escucharlos una y otra vez y no puedo evitar pensar que algun día los conoceré y uno de mi más grande sueño es poder cantar algun día con la banda, si algun día sucediera ese sería el GRAN DÍA!!!Muchos Existos.
Looks like the concert was amazing, I hope one day I'll get to see them there! Thanks km blogger, I love reading these! I'd be great to have some video too! haha
Hey guys was very amazing . . . hmm forever :) ¡ Success ! We Love U So Much!!! n.n

Have a fully deserved rest tomorrow*** To all Keane fans worldwide, it was fantastic to share all these emotions with you all, tks a bunch! :D Lots of love from Portugal***
Thank you very much! :) It has been a pleasure following the live blog and the guys during the afternoon & evening. Since I couldn't be in London, it helped me feel closer and it surely cheered me up! Maybe if we're lucky we'll get to see tonight's performance in a DVD... that would be amazing. Strangeland Tour has to be kept forever because it's been WONDERFUL so far - the three gigs I've been to in Portugal were just brilliant. I miss those days already.

Dear Mr. Km, I'm not enjoying...I am adoring...because through your enthusiastic and lovely descriptions together with the amazing photos I do feel close to our "Fantastic Four" - we can feel the magic, and this is really sensational...and unforgetable.
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** I am at home now, it´s 08;18 pm here and I had a doctor´s appointment so, I could not follow anything at all, so, now, I will enjoy everything here! I do hope the show was great -- it was, I am sure of it! Lots of love!!!! XXXX

Sorry for my English, I am using a translator to explain what I feel. As I wished to be there, in one of my favorite cities and a group to which I hooked one month and a half ago, when they were in Spain, but I love and I can not stop listening. Especially Tom Chaplin. Kisses from Madrid. Next time do not escape me.
Refreshing, refreshing all Day. We love you!!!!! Moré pics please...Monterrey México
