Colonoscopies by primary-care doctors safe, study finds
Screening colonoscopies performed by primary-care physicians under strict protocols are as safe and effective as those performed by specialists, according to a new study by researchers from the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health.
In the largest published study on the topic in the United States, researchers found performance quality indicators and lesion detection rates in screening colonoscopies by primary-care doctors are comparable to documented rates for experienced gastroenterologists.
Colon cancer is one of the few preventable forms of cancer. A colonoscopy is considered the best test available to identify and prevent colorectal cancer. Primary-care physicians perform a small fraction of colonoscopies -- about 2 percent of those performed nationally in 2002 and 5.7 percent in South Carolina in 2005.
The USC researchers pointed out that the 10,958 colonoscopies by 51 primary-care doctors included in the study were performed under strict protocols to ensure patient safety. The tests were performed at a licensed ambulatory surgery center with specialists (gastroenterologists or GI surgeons) available in case there were technical difficulties in completing the procedure, in removing large polyps or in managing any major complications that can occasionally arise with this procedure.
The study's results were published online in the journal, Medical Care. Funding for the study came from two grants from the National Cancer Institute along with USC's Division of Health Sciences and the Center for Colon Cancer Research.
The findings are significant because there are not enough gastroenterologists to perform colonoscopies on everyone eligible to receive one. There is a 50-percent colonoscopy screening gap between those who have the procedure v. those who are eligible to be screened. That is attributed partly to the lack of specialists who perform the test, said Dr. James Hebert, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics in the Arnold School and director of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at USC.

Oblivious to tough reform proposal, Barone suggests Dems won't include "border-enforcement"
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
In his May 1 column, Michael Barone falsely claimed Democrats "don't seem to be planning to include" border-enforcement provisions in their plans for immigration reform. In fact, the outline released by Senate Democrats includes extensive enforcement provisions that reportedly "would be more far-reaching than anything in place now" or proposed by the Bush administration
Barone falsely claims Dems aren't planning to include "border-enforcement provisions"
From Barone's May 1 column:
The comprehensive immigration bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007 contained guest-worker and border-enforcement provisions that gained the support of some who would not have supported a legalization-only bill. But this time, the Democrats don't seem to be planning to include such sweeteners.
In fact, immigration reform outline released by Democrats prioritizes border security
Democratic plan sets border security benchmarks that "must be met before action can be taken to adjust the status" of those currently in the U.S. illegally. The "conceptual proposal for immigration reform" recently released by Senate Democrats lists eight border security benchmarks that must be met before the government will adjust the legal status of unauthorized immigrants currently in the U.S.
Democratic plan calls for "Further Fortification of America's Border Enforcement Capability." The plan also calls for "high-tech ground sensors throughout the southern border and for equipping all border patrol officers with the technological capability to respond to activation of the ground sensors in the area they are patrolling." The proposal includes "substantial upgrades" in Border Patrol technology, a new "border patrol auxiliary unit," the "construction of additional ports-of-entry and for the hiring of thousands of new customs and border protection inspectors," and the "implementation of an entry-exit system" to track those overstaying visas. In addition, the plan "provides the Secretary of Homeland Security with the authority to deploy National Guard personnel at our borders when needed." In addition to border security measures, the proposal also calls for, among other things, the creation of "new crimes" for "trafficking and misuse of passports," sanctions on "countries that delay or prevent repatriation of their citizens," increased penalties "for violators of immigration law," and the creation of biometric social security cards for employment verification.
New York Times: Enforcement in Democratic plan "would be more far-reaching than anything in place now - or anything proposed by" President Bush. In an April 30 news analysis, the New York Times stated of the Democrats' immigration reform outline: "The enforcement would be more far-reaching than anything in place now - or anything proposed by the administration of President George W. Bush. It begins with 'zero tolerance' for immigrants trying to enter the country illegally, by tightening border enforcement and by barring them from taking jobs in the United States."
Cornyn: Democratic plan's "emphasis on border enforcement was certainly encouraging." The New York Times reported that Sen. John Conryn (R-TX) "said the 'emphasis on border enforcement was certainly encouraging,' but, he said, Congress should not wait for the whole package to pass before financing new border security measures."
FoxNews.com: "Senate Dem Leaders Take 'Border Security First' Approach to Immigration." An April 28 FoxNews blog post reported that the plan outlined by Senate leaders "sets tough border security standards as a precursor to illegal immigrants finding a pathway to U.S. citizenship" and "contains a number of items not previously in reform bills with a heavy focus on border enforcement as a benchmark."
Wash. Post: Dems' plan "includes a slew of new immigration enforcement measures." The Washington Post posted a news analysis titled, "Senate Democrats' plan highlights nation's shift to the right on immigration," which stated:
The Democrats' legislative "framework" includes a slew of new immigration enforcement measures aimed at U.S. borders and workplaces. It would further expand the 20,000-member Border Patrol; triple fines against U.S. employers that hire illegal immigrants; and, most controversially, require all American workers -- citizens and noncitizens alike -- to get new Social Security cards linked to their fingerprints to ease checks of their work eligibility.
The plan's emphasis on "securing the border first" before taking steps to allow many of an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States to pay fines and apply for legal status was plainly a gesture to Republicans. Even so, no Republican is supporting it, not even Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), who has been working with Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) in bipartisan talks over the issue for months.

text: Today is football day and if you wake up early enough, you can watch a little soccer to get you in the mood and an excuse to start drinking early. "Hey, they are drinking in England right now watching. I don't want them to feel left out." So, really, the last thing I want to do this morning is go off on a rant. Rants are for Wednesday when that extra few hour sleep in is still a lifetime away and my boss needs a sharp kick to the groin. That being said, I have to say that I don't understand Karrueche Tran. I have given up on trying to figure out Rihanna and Chris Brown. They are just going to end up killing each other at some point. Are they older than 27? Karrueche though seems like she could be saved. Friday night, Karrueche and Chris had sex all night in Paris. Yes, she got a free trip to Paris, but not only is she required to have sex with Chris Brown for that trip but to also know he had been and would have been having sex with Rihanna if she was still available. Despite that, Karrueche showed up and you have to wonder if she has parents or some person in her life who could say, "Show some self-esteem." I hope she is getting something out of this other than free trips and that she is saving it or hocking it or whatever she can do to make this pay off for her.

Let's be honest: We all like to hear ourselves talk. But since it isn't always socially appropriate to speak our innermost thoughts in public, many of us can benefit from journaling. Kids may call them diaries, but that doesn't mean adults don't use them too. Journaling is a great way to pass the time, get your thoughts out on paper and experience a few minutes of personal catharsis. And doing it in your own personalized journals? Well, that's even better.
For that reason, many employers are bypassing the cheap box of chocolates and low-value Starbucks cards this Christmas, and opting for a much more personalized employee gift: imprinted journals. They know that ordering custom journals for employees is a far more appreciated gesture. These don't have to be promotional journals (although they can be); instead, some companies are actually ordering a set of imprinted journals with employees' names on the front.
Another option is to go with semi-promotional journals, meaning that while they may have the company name, they may also have the employee names or even company departments on them. There are lots of graphics options for the front of the personalized journals, too, including your company logo or another fun, colorful graphic. There are even wine tasting journals that are perfect gifts for employees who enjoy the finer things in life. That's the beauty of personalized products like custom journals; you can be as creative as you want to be. After all, what boss wants his employees to think he's boring? Fair point, right?
Even if you aren't sure how big your guys are on writing or sipping Chablis, their imprinted journals can be a great tool for them to use in meetings. Imagine the satisfaction you'll feel sitting at the head of the conference table, looking down the line of attentive workers clutching their promotional journals from the company. Your whole team will look so much more professional, and you can be the rising star of upper management for that reason alone. This is going to work out for everyone! Take a look at our dozens of options in custom journals, and see if you don't have a blast getting creative with your order.

Sean Parnell on Budget & Economy
[The Cut-Cap-and-Balance Pledge is sponsored by a coalition of several hundred Tea Party, limited-government, and conservative organizations].
Despite our nation's staggering $14.4 trillion debt, there are many Members of the U.S. House and Senate who want to raise our nation's debt limit without making permanent reforms in our fiscal policies. We believe that this is a fiscally irresponsible position that would place America on the Road to Ruin. At the same time, we believe that the current debate over raising the debt limit provides a historic opportunity to focus public attention, and then public policy, on a path to a balanced budget and paying down our debt.
We believe that the "Cut, Cap, Balance" plan for substantial spending cuts in FY 2012, a statutory spending cap, and Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution is the minimum necessary precondition to raising the debt limit. The ultimate goal is to get us back to a point where increases in the debt limit are no longer necessary. If you agree, take the Cut, Cap, Balance Pledge!
I pledge to urge my Senators and Member of the House of Representatives to oppose any debt limit increase unless all three of the following conditions have been met:
- Cut: Substantial cuts in spending that will reduce the deficit next year and thereafter.
- Cap: Enforceable spending caps that will put federal spending on a path to a balanced budget.
- Balance: Congressional passage of a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution -- but only if it includes both a spending limitation and a super-majority for raising taxes, in addition to balancing revenues and expenses.

Versace Spring 2012
Could there possibly be a better moment for Donatella Versace? With the craze for nineties Gianni Versace baroque 'n' roll prints at high tide—fashion kids are scouring every vintage source for shirts and scarves and flaunting them around the shows—and Donatella's collaboration with H&M launching in New York in November, she's surfing a mighty wave with excellent aplomb. Her show managed to net in all the classy values she's been working the last few seasons—while also letting loose a happy, confident stream of Versace-isms: biker jackets; studded, second-skin pencil skirts; gold, sparkling summer pastels; mini-gladiator dresses; and goddess-y gowns. There was (if you haven't guessed it already) a summery underwater theme going on. "I thought they looked like Botticelli babes, rising from the sea," said Donatella's enraptured protégé Christopher Kane, who belongs to the second generation of the Versace-obsessed. "And the girls, with their beautiful hair, bobbing along . . . I kept having flashbacks." Versace almost had her own words drowned out by the ovation that followed her offstage. "I was thinking of sirens and mermaids, their hot sexuality. And everything I like, and Gianni liked," she said, laughing.
What brought on the applause wasn't just the heady goodwill following all things Versace: It's the clever, modernized clarity she has brought to this label. Everything she did for summer was clean, bright, brilliantly made, and to the point. Prints of seahorses, starfish, and scallop shells, playing over neoprene biker-jacketed suits with tiny, tailored shorts and abbreviated dresses were complex but un-garishly pretty and melded seamlessly into a palette that ran from ice blue to lavender, lemon, and pistachio. The mini-goddess dresses, with streams of pleats running down one side of the body (the Gianni-flashback section of the show), were still reined in from out-and-out vulgarity. And even the mothers of the Botticelli babes—the customers Donatella has been carefully courting with fitted shift-dresses and decorative coats for the last few years—weren't left behind. The white, zippy suits with knee-length skirts will do them very nicely.
Where, though, you might ask, were those desperately sought-after multicolored patchworks of prints? Wasn't Donatella going to take advantage of that? Not to worry. Cleverly navigating the crest of the trend every kid wants, she's going for the accessible route: "That's for H&M," she said, smiling.

Gender Roles and Stereotypes
I know this article is from last year, but I came across it whilst doing research, and found it to be very interesting. I enjoyed reading about the genetic versus environment aspect of this.
I have been learning a lot about gender stereotypes within the family through my courses, such as the woman has the responsibility to care for the home and provide emotional support, while the man is the leader and the one who earns money. I know that the world has changed drastically, and many people no longer adopt these stereotypes. These discussions usually also talk about raising boys to be boys and girls to be girls. For instance, boys play with cars and girls play with dolls. I have also read stories recently of parents who allow their children to freely play with anything they want, whether a boy wants to dress up as a princess or a girl wants to play with trucks.
For me, I have noticed that each of my children are very different. My son does love cars and superheros, whilst my little girl loves everything pink. However, I do encourage each child to play with the toys they like, regardless of who it is supposed to be for. My son has started school, and he sometimes says things like pink is for girls or I can't play with dolls. I tell him he can play with whatever he likes, and he surprised me one day by sitting and playing dolls with his sisters. He dressed the dolls and cared for them, and it was very sweet. I know some parents face a lot of negativity for raising their child to be free from gender roles, such as when the boy wants to wear dresses to school. I am not sure how I would feel if my son wanted to do things like dress in clothing designed for girls, not because I am against it, but because I know it could lead to trouble in school. I do want my children to feel comfortable with who they are, so I do support them and I try to not let them see stereotypical gender roles.
How do you feel about gender roles and stereotypes?

I wouldn't say we have are necessarily trying to raise our children free of gender roles, not in the way I've seen others do it, however I do try to keep things in moderation. My children have some tendencies that are stereotypical of their gender, though I encourage them to openly explore other options when teachable moments occur. As a general rule, my children play with all of the toys in our home without regard for who they are intended for. I have one son who is very "boyish" in the traditional sense and one who is less so. My daughter loves pink, but she also enjoys cars and video games. I always try to respect their own interests, while keeping stereotypes in moderation.
We too are dealing with the school issue. Last year, my daughter was home schooled. This year she is in a traditional school setting and there is a lot of talk of gender stereotypes. We have had numerous conversations about how they shouldn't exist and there is no reason a boy can't play with pink things or a girl with blue.
As for the thing about boys wearing dresses to school, if that is what my son felt drawn to I would support him 100%. I feel very strongly about these issues and would feel the same if my daughter wanted to cut her hair and only wear pants. If my child were transgendered, the school could not and would not infringe upon that. If they tried, we would seek an alternative means of education, fight it in court or both. Of course, I am lucky to have a valid teaching certificate and the option to teach my children at home if I so choose to.

News, blues and reviews
Finally grabbing a minute from my duties (in no particular order) as Dad, chauffeur, daily newspaper copy editor, raffle-ticket seller, Green Party official, honey-do husband and Open Source Reporter editor/publisher/webmaster, allow me a few random thoughts, cheap shots and bon mots (to quote the San Francisco Chronicle's Scott Ostler):
Lost in the shuffle: While panic reigned for the last couple of weeks regarding Daylight Saving Time being moved up a couple of weeks and while the Y2K-like distress accompanied the advent of yet another meaningless time change (which, incidently, should be abolished), did it occur to anyone to . . . ahem . . . just go into your preferences, find the time/date item and just set the clock ahead an hour? Sheesh.
C'est Ubuntu: This just in from across the Atlantic — the French government has decided to forego Windows and have the government work with an open source operating system, specifically the GNU/Linux distro known by all (and loved by many) as Ubuntu. Starting in June, 1,154 desks of the legislators and their parliamentary assitants in the National Assembly will feature GNU/Linux-based computers. Allez, France! "More on the story," as we say at OSR, from C|Net can be found here. But wait, there's more . . .
Who's carrying the ball for Open Source in England? It ain't Labour, surprisingly. The Conservatives have run with this issue, as shadow chancellor George Osborne has been saying to all that will listen that a Conservative government will insist all software is open source would cut the the UK's IT costs by 5 percent. Hello, Tony? More on the story, again, from Britian's IT Contractor here.
Gentoo hubbub: The GNU/Linux distro known as Gentoo has fallen on hard times. Or has it? DistroWatch, an above-average source of news in the GNU/Linux world, touched off a bit of a back-and-forth firestorm on the site's weekly report. What more interesting than DW publisher Ladislav Bodnar's story about Gentoo is the firefight in the reader comments that are linked at the bottom of the report's page. In his story, Bodnar writes that "[F]urthermore, one has to wonder: with the amount of time some of them spend flaming other people on the various mailing lists and planet blogs, do they actually have any time for coding?" So how do some of the pro-Gentoo people respond? With flamethrowers blazing, of course. A legitimate question, Ladislav, and a good story that, flaming aside, has resulted in a good discussion on your great site. Stick to your guns.
What will it be, Steve?: Those of you who know me — those three of you outside my family now reading this — know that I'm a completely committed Mac guy. Despite the fact I have taken the free software and open source software path, I still think that Apple still makes the best built hardware, period. I say this because having been faithful to the hardware for the last 15 years, I'm siding with DefectiveByDesign.org in asking everyone to sign a petition going to Steve Jobs to "set the ethical example" by eliminating digital rights management (DRM) from iTunes. You can click on the gif at the left to sign the petition (go ahead, but don't forget to come back). The petition responds to an open letter Jobs wrote on DRM last month. C'mon Steve: Other than axing the Newton (yes, finally I've forgiven you for that), your record has been flawless, and those of us who are eternally grateful to you for saving Apple hope you will continue to do the right thing. Keep it up by keeping your word on April 1.
Who left the dog out? Yep, I did. My apologies to the well known, and fairly loved, GNU/Linux distro known as Puppy — a dog that didn't make it into my GNU/Linux zoo tome a few blogs ago. It should have, and I really did plan to put it there, but I forgot. Here, have a Milk Bone, Puppy folks, and thanks for sparing me the embarrassment of notifying me personally in very civil e-mails — rather than frying me, Gentoo-supporter style, on my own blog.

Published June 19, 2014
For many undergraduates, a trip to Louisiana centers on New Orleans and its fabled nightlife. Not so for 16 University at Buffalo students who earlier this month spent a week volunteering in the wetlands of southern Louisiana.
Part of UB's annual alternative winter break that emphasis hands-on service work, the trip was facilitated by the Center for Student Leadership and Community Engagement, the Office of Sustainability, and Student Life.
It brought students to the bayou and into the heart of Cajun culture. In addition to learning how to pick apart crawfish and the finer points of zydeco music, the students were educated on the environmental, cultural and economic issues facing southern Louisiana.
The students flew on Jan. 5 from Buffalo to New Orleans, where the temperatures hovered in the mid-50s. Vans took them to Chauvin, a small fishing community about 50 miles southwest, where they stayed at Bayou Grace Community Services, a social services agency.
The following day, spent at the Louisiana State Museum's Hurricane Katrina exhibit in New Orleans, served as a welcome and orientation for the work that lay ahead, said Jim Simon, UB sustainability engagement coordinator, who helped organize and co-lead the trip.
Students woke Jan. 7 at 6:30 a.m. to ready for a day on the water. With temperatures still in the 50s and high winds, the weather offered little respite from the snow in Buffalo. Offered by the Louisiana Marine Universities Consortium, the daytrip proved special as dolphins swam near the boat and students got a firsthand look at shrimp, squid, puffer fish and other marine life found in the Gulf.
The day also included a stop at the Isle of Jean Charles, home to roughly two dozen Native American families who, despite the island slowly and steadily sinking into the Gulf, are determined to remain there.
The students again traveled by boat the following day -- only this time they planted roughly 1,000 plants at strategic locations in the Gulf. The plants serve many purposes including, but not limited to, helping to keep flood waters at bay, creating habitat for fish and birds, and filtering nutrients to improve water quality.
The next day, as the temperature neared 70, students bundled 250 Christmas trees and placed them into pens along the Intracoastal Waterway, which serves as navigational route along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean. The trees create a barrier which slows down and ultimately reduces the loss of sediment in the waterway.
Students also toured a swamp, getting a close look at alligators and an impromptu lesson in Cajun music, which is characterized by fiddles, washboards, accordions and French lyrics. The final two days were spent working in the Gulf's delicate ecosystem, Simon said.
Brianne Gertin, a senior majoring in environmental design, said in an email that it was the people of southern Louisiana who left the greatest impression on her.
"Even after everything that has happened there (hurricanes, oil spills, coastal erosion) they refuse to give up because they can't imagine living anywhere else. Louisiana isn't just a state, it's a way of life, a unique culture and environment that you can't find anywhere else, so to be able to go down there and help preserve it is amazing," she said.
It was the second consecutive year that UB students volunteered in southern Louisiana during winter break, an effort UB hopes to continue.
"UB is building relationships with the amazing people of southern Louisiana. The change we create is quickly becoming lasting," Simon said.

Before the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali, there was the Sector 16 Stadium in Chandigarh - the home of cricket in the Union Territory. The likes of Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma and Yograj Singh started playing cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium. After the stadium in Mohali was built, there was no first-class cricket at the Sector 16 Stadium for 10 years before Haryana ended the barren spell by playing the Ranji Trophy Plate League semi-final in 2004-05. The stadium got a fresh lease of life when the Haryana Cricket Association decided to stage the ODI against Australia at the venue. The Sector 16 Stadium last hosted an ODI in 1992-93, when India beat England by five wickets.

I think you need to go in with your eyes wide open with the white collar boxing.
Like MMA its unregulated and and the BBBC wont go near it. I have been to a few shows where the match ups and weigh in (if they weighed) have been a little off.
To me , white collar means 16 oz gloves with headguards. Thats it, i wouldnt listen to records, previous fights , who they work for, just go in expecting the guy to have had a few fights and want to take you out.
I was even offered a few white colloar fights and I have had a few on pro boxing cards last year. How is that fair ?
with a 2 minute round expect the other fighter to come out banging

Meet an ODOT snow plow driver
(Cleveland) Driving a snow plow for a living isn't an easy job especially when drivers of other vehicles don't understand that the plows are only allowed to travel at 35 to 40 miles per hour. Melvin Safford has worked with ODOT for 7 years and says sometimes his biggest obstacle is switching lanes. "When the traffic picks up it's a little annoying maybe, because everybody wants to not let you change lanes when you need to change lanes", Says Safford.
Safford has driven a plow for seven years and works from 10am until 10:30pm clearing 271 North at Cedar Brainard to Rockside Road. Safford says he spends his shift driving and clearing that route continuously. The plows are heavy, but freezing rain can cause them to fishtail which is another reason other vehicles shouldn't crowd them.
Safford says he only remembers one winter storm that was worse than this week's massive snowfall. It occured his first day on the job. "That was probably my worst because it was my first time driving and plowing in the snow." He says if this January's snowfall so far is any indication, he'll be getting a lot of overtime this year.
Safford does have a tip for drivers to remain safe on icy roads, "drive slow, if driver's took their time we'd have much fewer accidents".

What are dog belly bands?
Many pet owners search for dog belly bands even if they don't know what they are. They simply type in dog diapers or diapers for dogs, not realizing belly bands are what people use for their male dogs to keep them from having accidents in the home. Actual pet diapers are used for female dogs.
Belly bands are designed to wrap around a dog, covering his private parts. Like a diaper, it doesn't prevent your dog from having accidents, but it does protect your carpet and your belongings. It's also not something to be worn all the time. This is why you should put them on when they enter your home, but take them off outside. It can be one way to help them to learn to be housebroken.
Belly bands aren't just for puppies; they are also helpful for older dogs that have become incontinent. You don't want to penalize your older pet simply because they can't control themselves anymore. With a belly band they can still roam freely in your house.
Belly bands are often made of sturdy cloth that will absorb urine. Some pet owners put feminine pads or incontinence pads inside to help. Either way, belly bands are machine washable so they are easy to keep clean. It's a good idea to have at least two bands for your dog to wear so that while one is being cleaned your pet can wear the other.
It's easy to put a belly band on as they usually are fastened by Velcro. You can easily put them on and off depending on where your dog is going to be.
If belly bands are functional they can also be fashionable. At Sassy Pup we have designs of all types including those with monkeys and teddy bears. We also have humorous ones and bands created by top designers. Just because they function as a diaper doesn't mean they have to be blah.
If your pet is having accidents around the home, damaging furniture or flooring, don't let it come in the way of enjoying your pet. Get them diapers or belly bands to wear so that they can still be an integral part of the family. Nor will you be embarrassed to take your pet to a friend or family member's home. Instead of being dismayed

Lightweight Glasses
- of FRAMES
Lightweight Eyeglasses
Lightweight glasses are available today - at Zenni Optical. With over a hundred eyeglass frames to choose from, you'll certainly find an eyeglass design that fits your facial profile and gives you the confident good looks you're seeking. Lightweight eyeglasses are generally more comfortable for the wearer than the more substantial, thicker, full-rim eyeglass designs. These lightweight units place less stress on your temples, the bridge of your nose, and the various pressure points on your face. Plus, they are less prone to slipping as the lightweight design keeps your glasses in place more easily than heavier glasses.
At Zenni Optical, we offer over one hundred lightweight eyeglass frames that range in price from less than $7, to just under $50. With a wide variety of frames that cost substantially less than those you'd find in a mall optics store or Optometrist's office, you can afford to purchase several pairs. Wear more formal frames at work or during evening events. Or, switch to colorful or playful designs for weekends away or relaxing times at home. Your glasses can make a statement - and you can now afford to pair your frames with your outfit to make a definitive style statement.
We're proud to say that our high-quality, stylish, and durable lightweight frames are offered at prices that are incredibly low. We founded Zenni Optical on the idea that eyeglasses needn't cost a fortune, and that looking good shouldn't be reserved for the few of us who can afford designer frames and major-label brands. Zenni Optical is your source for low-cost, lightweight glasses.

Time: 6:30 p.m.
TV: Time Warner Cable SportsNet/Time Warner Cable Deportes
The Lakers are encountering a week that coach Mike D'Antoni believes, for better or worse, reveal the team's identity.
So D'Antoni's going beyond coach-speak when he outlined the importance of the Lakers' game tonight against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center.
"We have to have a win," D'Antoni said. "However we get it, we have to tough it out."
The same applies to when the Lakers meet other Western Conference playoff teams this week, including Houston (Tuesday), San Antonio (Wednesday) and
Okahoma City (Friday).
That could prove to be a tough task considering the Lakers lost Friday against the Clippers, a team that proved too overwhelming with their youth and
athleticism. The Nuggets presented similar problems Dec. 26 when they hosted the Lakers in Denver.
"I'm just happy we're not in Denver with that altitude," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said. "It'll make running with them a little bit easier."
Good luck.
As they rank last in transition defense, the Lakers face a team that ranks eighth in total offense (101.69 points per game), fifth in field-goal
percentage (46.6 percent) and fifth in assists (23.09). The last time these teams met, the Nuggets crushed the Lakers in points (128) and offensive
rebounds (19-13). Denver also posted 25 second-chacne points.
"Our biggest thing is transition so we need to run back," D'Antoni said.
"Second chance points, we have to be more aggressive attacking the boards.
If we cure those two things, we're okay."
Part of those areas could hinge on the Lakers' frontline.
Dwight Howard will play despite nursing a right shoulder strain.
"He's fine," D'Antoni said. "He's good. That's Superman in there."
He wasn't Superman in Denver.
Howard posted only 12 points and an ejection for performing a flagrant foul type 2 against Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried. He carved up the Lakers with 21
points and 15 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Pau Gasol is a game removed from a two-game performance that prompted him to express frustrations about his reduced post role in D'Antoni's
"Pau Gasol is a hell of a basketball player," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I know he's very frustrated right now and I hope he's still frustrated
until after the season."
But D'Antoni expressed optimism Gasol will bounce back.
"We'll get him involved as much as we can," D'Antoni said. "he's a very talented player. He will be okay. I trust him totally. The guy's too smart and too
taleneted to go through long stretches [of bad games]. Everybody goes through them."
The Lakers are going through them now. Hence, why D'Antoni sees tonight's game as a huge opportunity to change fortune.

Dear Schools, Please Stop Discriminating Based on Pregnancy. Thanks, Title IX
Imagine you're an honors student at a community college. You're doing great: you've got a merit-based scholarship and you're enjoying your classes. You're also pregnant and excited to welcome the new addition to your family.
Being the conscientious student that you are, you approach your professors as soon as classes start, tell them that you're due near the end of the semester, and ask that if you miss any tests due to a pregnancy-related absence you be allowed to make them up. You even offer to provide a doctor's note. Three of your professors congratulate you, and tell you that of course this won't be a problem.
But one of your professors says she will not excuse any such leave or allow work missed …

Depression is far more common than has been generally thought. Folks find themselves feeling hopeless, unable to concentrate, lacking initiative, having difficulty making decisions, trouble sleeping etc. Depression involves a slowing down of the entire human organism as well as lowered self-esteem. It is as though the energy has left the conscious side of the psyche and gone down into the unconscious. Often our dreams and images can lead us to discover the deeper meaning of the depression. Therefore sometimes depression can be a pathway to self-discovery. For that reason I concern myself not simply with symptom relief, but with building a richer, fuller consciousness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective at helping treat depression. The first step is usually asking clients to engage in pleasurable activities that they may have been feeling less than inclined to engage in due to low mood. By returning to activities that are enjoyable, clients generally begin to experience an improvement in mood. From there, CBT is employed to help clients combat dysfunctional thinking patterns. Practice, practice, practice is paramount. Clients will benefit by learning how to see themselves and the world in a more realistic fashion. They will trade their dark sunglasses for ones that will allow them to see the world in color. I will help you build hope.

Guthrie, 40, was born in Melbourne, Australia, but moved to Tucson, Ariz., two years later.
Things got heated in the gathering area behind the workshop of Guthrie Farms in Western Kentucky.
"Could have done without the finger humor," Guthrie noted afterward, speaking for millions.
Guthrie was handpicked by Lauer after his former cohost Ann Curry was pushed out.
Guthrie is a talented lawyer who had co-hosted an MSNBC talk show with Chuck Todd.
One of the latter with whom I happened to be thrown professionally was a young fellow of about twenty named Guthrie.
Of the others I had said, "I shan't like this fish, Guthrie, till he's in the net."
No one knew, because no one was told, of the many hours of grief which little Mrs. Guthrie endured after she left Oxford.
Get the boat down, Guthrie, and we'll go out to him, anyhow.
She weighed 31 1/2 lb., and was the largest baggit which either Sligh or Guthrie could remember being caught in the Tweed.

[/quote]
Original Message
My experience happened a long time ago, nearly 20 years now, and it was so profound, that I am desperate to hear if anyone else had a similar experience. I have been searching and researching for an UFO experience like mine, and as I have found things similar I have not found a replica of what we saw.
It was in September of 1991, three months after my son was born, that we decided to take a camping trip to Lake Camanche (near Stockton, Calif.) On the trip was my husband and I, newborn son, roommate, neighbors and their three kids, and two other families. We camped right on waters edge and lined all of our vehicles in a row with tents in between.
As the first night came, I put my baby down to sleep around nine pm and sat and watched the stars for a couple hours before going to sleep. My husband and our roommate sat outside of our van and drank a couple beers long after I had gone to bed.
The next day was a typical camping venture. Breakfast in the morning, swimming and boating with the group for most of the day, then back to camp sight for dinner and relaxation. The sun started to go down and I had everything all cleaned up and baby put to sleep. I sat in a lawn chair and wanted to star gaze and relax. My husband and roommate (I will call him Rob for the sake of anonymity) decided to do some fishing off the docked boat. Our other friends had turned in very early (which seemed strange but, whatever...) It was about 9:30pm.
I was sitting in the chair and looking skyward and was thinking to myself how cool it would be to see a UFO. I had been a science enthusiast, big fan of astro-physics and avid subscriber to OMNI magazine. I wished to see something unusual in this night sky.
After sitting there for about a half an hour a military jet (with on huge burner in the back) came soaring across the sky. I thought to myself, is there a base nearby? I yelled over to Rob, "you guys see that?" Rob answered... yes in a tone of one who sees something suspicious. The docked boat was only ten yards or so from me, where they were fishing.
In another 15 minutes another jet went screeching by, same path going in the same direction. It was not an F-16, and not readily familiar. I have been to many, many air shows at Moffet field, and had seen so many military aircraft before. This was different. It was faster, had only one burner in the back and looked like a rocket (I couldn't see wings.)
Now the sun was down and it was totally dark outside. The men were still in the boat and I was seated at our picnic table near our vehicle. The view from our campsite was lake in front of us and a flat barren area directly behind with a few small trees, then small hills behind that. All of a sudden there were lights just above one of the small hills behind me, bright lights, like giant headlights that started to lower toward the top of the hill.
I yelled over to Rob, "you guys seeing this? What is that?" The men started out of the boat to come closer to me. I reached into the van and pulled out the binoculars. This thing looked like a small plane that planned to land right on top of that hill. I asked Rob, is there an airport around here? He said, not really.
We sat and watched this silent craft with two bright white headlights slowly descend toward the top of this small hill maybe 1/2 mile away from us. As we watched some twenty minutes the lights suddenly went off and what was left was a single row of colored lights all changing colors (not blinking, but morphing into other colors.) Strange colors like mint green, and pale red, and orange, and electric blue. They did not blink, they morphed into the other colors, no real pattern emerged.
It sat there for what seemed forever and we watched it each taking turns with the binoculars. As we watched, there were a few more that emerged surrounding the area in a semi-circle. We counted 14 by the time the night ended.
I was getting a little nervous now and wanted my husband to pack up our stuff and get me and my baby out of there. He refused to go. Now here is the trippy part. Just then, a giant flourescent green orb appeared in one of the small trees behind us. My husband was watching thru the binoculars and Rob and I stood and stared with naked eye in complete awe. "What the hell is that?" Rob said. This orb, probably 5 feet in diameter and glowing a bright neon green, floated back and forth among the leaves of this small tree. We saw some campers approach the tree and as they drew near, the orb passed down the trunk of the tree and dashed to the right then vanished into thin air.
At this point I am freaking....
While we stood there, my husband scanning the horizon not ever letting go of the binoculars, said for us to look to the left. The three of us stood there in complete awe as a giant projected image, rectangular in shape, like a movie screen without the screen image only, vertical and producing images of which all three of us saw something different. It was from the ground up about 15 feet high, and about two car lengths long. It sat there for almost 20 minutes.
I heard my husband say to Rob, "that is the same thing we saw last night over the water?" I said "you guys saw this last night?" they said yes, and pointed to the area on the lake where it manifested.
I am crying now and begging husband to take me and baby home. He was completely enamored by this event and refused to go. I went into the van and snuggled up with my baby and laid there completely freaked out. I heard the frogs and crickets outside all night, but all of a sudden they sang in total unison. Not a fluttery fluctuation of tones and chirps, but one tone without interruption, and extended out for a long period of time. It sounded electric, not natural. I fell asleep to this sound, not sure how I could sleep, but I did. The next day I woke up and demanded that we go home. Husband relented and we packed and left.
After we got home I started making some calls to see who I report this event to. I got the number for MUFON and made the call. A few days later, field reps from MUFON were at our house, interviewing all of us in separate rooms with tape recorders and questionnaires. One asked me to draw a sketch of the scene which I did. They kept it along with all of our interview questions.
A big wig from MUFON called me up some short time after that and asked if he and his field rep could take me up to the site so I could show them where we saw everything. I didn't want to go but husband and roommate refused to get involved so the MUFON guy pushed for me to go and I relented.
We drive up there and I pointed out everything we saw, gave a timeline and all, and they held up my drawings and even commented how accurate my sketches were to the lay of the land. As we drove home, the MUFON guy's wife shared stories of her abduction tales which frightened me and I felt like her eyes changed in a creepy way which caused me to panic.
They stopped someplace to have lunch and the MUFON man regaled so many conspiracy stories (and I am a pretty astute person, avid reader, fairly intelligent, not easily rattled) and by the time I got home, I felt totally overwhelmed with information and couldn't pick out one conspiracy theory to explain to the men when I got there. i was exhausted and confused and freaked.
About three months later, I had been going to vocational school at night, and came home one weeknight around 10:30 PM. One of the crafts that we saw at the lake was directly above my home. I wanted another set of eyes on it so i went into the house and made up a story to get my husband outside. He came out and I pointed up above our roof. He said, "Yep, thats one of them." and went back into the house.
I immediately pulled the card that the MUFON people gave me and phoned the field rep to report that a craft was right above our house. He said he was in San Mateo and couldn't get there fast but that he was on his way. I knew it would be gone by then. I got my baby out of his crib and brought him into the bedroom with me, where I sat and rocked him for quite some time. I could hear what sounded like distorted radio noise in the middle of my head, not hearing with my ears, but the sound was in the center of my head. I was crying, husband seemed completely oblivious and unaffected despite the fact that I was near hysterics. He dosed off to the nightly news.
to make a long story short, after that night, I felt an intensely strong presence eminated from the back of my head. This presence did not leave me for even one moment for two and half years. We started having paranormal experiences almost every two or three days, objects moving, whispered voices in our ears, shadows on the walls at night, weird crank phone calls. I was scared all the time and refused to be home alone at night. Everyone thought I was losing it... maybe I was.
I appealed to my father who finally got on the phone when MUFON guy called yet another time to get more info from me. I told my father that I didn't want to talk to them anymore, that they scared me and confused me. Dad got on the phone and angrily told this man to never call me again.
The paranormal stuff continued and started to go after my small child when a toy came barrelling off a shelf in his room and hit him on the back of his head. This made me so angry that I searched for ways to protect us from this strong invisible force that took over our lives.
How I got free is another long story...

Jamie Foxx honored with MTV Generation Award
Listen to Jamie Foxx on iHeartRadio
Jamie Foxx is being recognized for his impressive list of acting achievements. During last night's 2013 MTV Movie Awards, Foxx was honored with the MTV Generation awards.
Foxx made a bold fashion statement throughout the ceremony, quietly putting the spotlight on gun violence with a t-shirt bearing the image of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
The actor also managed to pick up the "Golden Popcorn" for Best WTF Moment along with Samuel L. Jackson for a climatic scene in "Django Unchained." Jackson also had a big night, picking up awards for "The Avengers." He and the cast of the Marvel comics adventure managed to come away with the award for Best Fight as well as the night's biggest award - Movie of the Year.

Well, I have tried to make a persistent Backtrack 5 boot USB several times and it never works
Details ~ I have used Unebootin, Lili and Universal USB installer from a Windows environment and made both 32 and 64bit KDE versions on two separate 8GB sticks.
The persistence never works. I have tried allocating different size to the persistence, the USB is reported as made properly but when I try to boot, After selecting persistent from the Backtrack boot menu, it gets to the splash screen and stops. I have left it for a couple of hours a couple of times, but it never boots. I tried to type in the root and toor and startx blind but that doesn't work either. Ctrl-alt+f1/f2 sometimes switches the splash to a black screen ... sometimes nothing happens. I have to force a reboot.
Also worth a note is that if it is a persistent 64 KDE it won't boot in any other mode either, but the 32 KDE will boot into all the others except persistence.
The only way to get a viable working 64 KDE is to make one without the persistence option.

Lloyd Bourgeois
All of which was good enough for Bourgeois, 24, to win a trip to Amsterdam on the S.S. President Roosevelt for the 1928 Olympics, good enough to make him, in the eyes of many, one of the longest of longshots to make it to the Games.
Bourgeois was no born-to-succeed talent. In fact, at the time, he was a relative newcomer to what became his speciality, to track-and-field, which he did not focus on until his "grown-up'' days.
When he showed up in Amsterdam, there was good reason to look on Lloyd Bourgeois as "grown up.''
He had a full-time job with the Southern Pacific Railroad.
He had a wife and two children, a marriage with one of those made-in-Hollywood scripts.
"Lloyd and I were childhood sweethearts,'' gushed wife Myrtle as her husband became a sudden celebrity. "I married the boy next door. He was my first and only beau, and I was his first and only sweetheart. Since those days, we dreamed of a home of our own and having children. All that we hoped for has come true.''
As far as the farflung Bougeois family is concerned, the dream remains chiseled in print today.
"I love going through the scrapbooks,'' said Diane Rabin, Lloyd's granddaughter. "The fact Lloyd's athletic abilities were not recognized until he was already 20 years old makes him unique, to say the least. He remained an enthusiastic sports spectator to the end of his life. A wonderful husband, father, provider, for his family as president of the Dixie Vending Company. He always considered his four children and 27 grandchildren his greatest accomplishment.''
Lloyd Bourgeois watched his son, Bobby, grow up sprinting and high jumping in grammar school as he served as a volunteer official for NORD track meets in City Park Stadium.
"I didn't make headlines until I was 24,'' Lloyd liked to say. "Bobby made the front page when he was 6 months old. And he didn't have to jump out of the cradle to do it. He simply swallowed a safety pin.''
Doctors decided to let nature, and the pin, take their course. It wasn't long before Bobby was setting all kinds of records in elementary school competition, all the while listening to dad tell stories about how it was to be part of an Olympic team that had two Tarzans, Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe, how it was to have a one-star general named Douglas MacArthur as president of the Olympic delegation.
Did Lloyd think Bobby had a shot to make the Olympics?
"Not in the hop-step,'' said Lloyd. "His legs are too short.''
Did Bobby have a bad habit?
"Yes,'' said dad. "It's drinking. He has a weakness for the bottle. Not hard stuff. Soft drinks. He likes to drink before every race. He says it gives him pains in the stomach. It gives me a pain in the neck.''
After failing to win a medal in Amsterdam, Lloyd Bourgeois returned home with no excuses.
"I wasn't good enough,'' he said after finishing eighth in a field of 65 despite a career-best triple-jump of 47 feet, 9 ½ inches.
For the best jumper in the world, it was a crap shoot - especially for the defending champion, and world record holder, who failed to qualify.
The 65 entrants were placed in two pits, 33 in one, 32 in the other. Each contestant was allowed three trials, but no practice jumps, no run-through. After the 65 had three trials, the six best were chosen as finalists. Snakey Bowman of Hammond nosed out Bourgeois to finish in seventh place with a jump of 47 feet, 11 inches.
"We only had one jump each,'' said Bourgeois. "I missed my takeoff twice. Then I made my best jump ever. Snakey got a raw deal. When his time came, he asked a judge if he could take a practice run to get his stride. The judge nodded. The same thing happened a second time. That's when someone came up to remind Snakey he had used two jumps. That he had only one jump left. He realized the judge didn't understand a word of English. Then Snakey made the best jump of his life.''
Just one more Olympic memory.
Ask Keith Bourgeois, Lloyd's grandson, for a memory, and Keith goes back to the time he took his dad to Amsterdam for a visit to the site of the 1928 Games.
"It was a great trip,'' said Keith. "We spent some time in Geneva, we visited Lake Como in Italy, and we saw the sights. Getting to see where my grandfather competed was special. I couldn't stop shooting pictures.''
Turned out Keith's camera was still rolling when he and his dad decided to take a look at Amsterdam's Red Light district, a spot where prostitution is legal, but taking pictures is a no-no. It's bad for business.
"I'm shooting away,'' said Keith. "All of a sudden, this young girl is grabbing my camera, drawing a crowd that gets larger and larger. I grab my camera back, and me and my dad take off, moving as fast as we can. We wound up finding refuge in a bar where we stayed until things quited down. I'll never forget Amsterdam. My grandfather had great memories.''
