Hey there fatty, part 1: The introduction
Nobody has ever walked up to me and asked, "JC Poppe, why are you fat?" but thanks to the suggestion of one of my editors, I'm going to tell you why.
Anybody who follows me on Twitter or is friends with me on Facebook – or is friends with me in real life – knows that I am one of those people who just loves to eat terrible, fatty foods in mass quantities in one sitting.
I am a binge eater.
Looking back on my life, I've not always been a binge eater but something about my mental approach to food changed in my early teens.
Without going to into detail, I was a very rebellious pre-teen/teen and had a complicated home life because of my aggressive, destructive nature. My parents, truth be told, were and are a little off themselves – but whose parents aren't?
To cope with the stress of being shut off to the normal world and seeking anything that would give me some happiness, food was far more accessible than illegal substances or substances that were illegal to me because of my age.
Food, for the most part, had to be my vice. Or, rather that was – for the most part – the vice that I largely took to.
Once I hit high school, the pedal hit the proverbial metal. I was a frequent visitor to our a la carte line thanks to "borrowing" money from "friends." I always told them that I'd pay them back, and in front of the mind I believed that I wasn't the kind of assh*le that wouldn't eventually repay them, but in the back of my mind I knew that I had no way of possibly repaying them.
To these people I owe a deep and sincere apology, and it is something that still bothers me to this day because I've never made it right.
I hang on to guilt, which makes me feel worse of course, which then leads to more extreme behavior.
Of all the stuff that I was taught in my old world German-style Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod Church, I held on to the fact that I was a miserable, low-down, worthless individual far more than I held on to anything else.
So, the cycle is set and reaffirmed through each mistake and each endorphin-releasing gorge-fest.
Throughout high school, I was able to maintain a weight of around 240 to 245 pounds. Playing a couple of seasons of sports during the first couple of years of high school, coupled with having a steady girlfriend for the last part of high school helped me to keep things pretty steady on the scale.
I did have a brief reduction in weight between the end of my junior year and the middle of my senior year, getting down to 207 pounds thanks to Weight Watchers and encouragement from my mom, but that was quickly derailed when I tore my ACL and my medial and lateral menisci in my left knee.
The inactivity and my once again falling into the fast food comfort cycle destroyed all of the hard work that was put in and I started to blow up once again.
Shout out to Taco Bell and Wendy's late night menu for being so tempting and cheap.
Once college hit, a plethora of psychological twists and turns were around every corner. Relationships came and went, a surprising amount of family, friends, close and far acquaintances died through murder, suicide, car accidents and natural causes.
Friends that I had since early middle school were in and out of jail.
My home life was deteriorating as I drove further and further into depression.
Food, and not the savior I was surrounded by at Concordia University Wisconsin, was my messiah, and I looked to it to deliver me from everything and anything that I was struggling with.
The great – and terrible – thing about college dining is the large variety of choices one can eat as much of as one wants. That would be great if I was in love with lettuce and carrots, but I loved cheeseburgers and pizza.
Thanks to CUW's food service rules, any resident could use their meal swipes or points for anybody else, and so after buddying up with several people I was soon dining for free with my company.
This was trouble city and where things really spiraled out of control.
But the time I graduated college, I was up to 260 pounds. When you are 5'6" that much weight has no place to go except for out in places like the neck, stomach, chest and back.
I was beginning to look more and more like a bowling ball, but I wasn't quite perfectly round yet.
During my year off of school between college and graduate school I decided to kick my butt in gear and to get in some kind of shape that was better than where I was at.
I did light but aerobic workouts with weights and tried my best to keep myself moving in some fashion during these workouts so I could keep my heart rate up.
Surprisingly, it worked, and my weight dropped from 260 pounds to 217 over the course of about six months.
I was feeling great and I was looking pretty good, and that's when I snagged my wife.
Now, something took place that was a reversal of my reasons for eating prior to meeting her. No longer was I depressed or looking to replace feeling bad with eating "good" food. Now, I was eating because I was happy and was falling in love.
I didn't own a scale during this time of my life, but I went from needing to stretch out my XL shirts a little to having to majorly stretch out XXL shirts in about six months.
I went to grad school, had a miserable go of it, came back and dove further into comfort/joy eating.
After coming back from a failed attempt at grad school, I took a job as a car salesman and the downward spiral was set to hyper-speed.
When you start a job like selling cars in the winter, there aren't a ton of people to sell to. There is a lot of jawing and "learning" and eating.
Somebody was always running to get something to eat or people were calling in orders for delivery or pick-up.
When it would snow a lot, management would buy us several pizzas for spending half of the day outside clearing off the cars and moving them so the lot could be cleared.
During this time in my life, I regularly ripped my dress shirts and went through several pairs of pants.
I wore a sweater over my shirts, not because I was cold, but because if another shirt was going to rip or pop a button, I wanted to conceal it instead of having to run to the nearby Kohl's to buy a new one. Unfortunately when my pants would rip at the seams, there was no hiding that and I needed to make that trip to Kohl's.
Deep down, I'd like to believe that Kohl's purposely sells larger-sized clothing with defects in them to get us fatties to bust them so we have to buy new clothes.
It's not true, but it would've made me feel better psychologically had it been true.
The most embarrassing moment for me came after I had just sold a car to a family during a hot, sticky summer day.
I put the rear license plate on with no trouble but as soon as I crouched down to put on the front plate, my pants ripped from my knees to my crotch.
I did everything I could to hold back my embarrassment.
Thankfully the family in the new car left as quickly as they could, but the real trouble was laying inside the dealership where my ruthless coworkers sat.
Raucous laughter began, and of course, being the type of person to play the Chris Farley role, I whooped it up with them.
I cried on the way home that day.
Later on in my brief car sales career, my boss told me that he initially had reservations about hiring me because of my weight, but that my outgoing and warm personality was evident in the interview.
This crushed me.
I had gone on a lot of interviews for different jobs after I came home from grad school and I thought I wasn't getting the jobs because my degree was in a faith-based field, but at that moment I realized that it was probable that I wasn't hired by some of the different places I interviewed at because they weren't willing to take a chance on the fat guy.
Soon after that I left the car sales industry and left Milwaukee with my wife to live in the La Crosse area because that is where my wife is from. She was pregnant and wanted to be by her family.
Being that it made more sense that living in Milwaukee due to her having such a large and supportive family, I left the region of Wisconsin that I grew up in and loved beyond almost anything else.
It was pedal to the metal time again, and after struggling with acclimating to the new area and being away from my parents, my friends, my city and way of life, I took to massively binge eating quicker than an adult film director takes to the girls that get off of a newly arrived bus in Los Angeles with the hopes of being a star.
Yes, that was crass but gluttony isn't pretty either.
Toss all of this uncertainty on top of expecting a new child when I've never had any experience with a kid younger than the age of 3, my wife almost dying a few weeks after giving birth – and multiple near-death experiences over a six-week period at Casa Del Mayo Clinic – and I was up to a record fat for me, 307 pounds.
For the past two and a half years, the length my wonderful son has been around, I've bounced around between that high and a low of 285 pounds.
Before the holidays hit this last year I was at 293 pounds and then managed to get back up to 304 pounds.
Back over 300 and back to being so incredibly upset about my weight, I'm finally back to doing something about it.
I'm tired of having sleep apnea.
I'm tired of my entire body hurting all the time.
I'm tired of the constant and sometimes crippling headaches.
I'm tired of needing an entire pot of coffee to get through my day of sitting on the couch or in a car, or on the floor when I'm reading to or playing with my son.
To use the old cliché, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I'm done with it. I'm over it. Hey, fatty, f*ck off!
Several weeks ago I started modifying my eating habits and it's time to talk to about it. Not in a "look at me, validate me" way.
I'm talking about it because my biggest fear is being a failure in the eye of the public, so if I put something down in writing and say it to the world, I need to do whatever I can to keep myself from being a liar.
I hate being told "I told you so" or having people have the ability to say "I told you so."
So, that's why I have to write this down and make it public. I know you most likely don't care about me or my health and most of you are probably annoyed by me, but that said, I'm not going to give more ammo to anybody who says "this guy will be back to eating cheeseburgers for every meal in a month, tops."
My goals are still evolving as this is something new, but I do know that I want to eventually see myself under 200 pounds. I don't know if that's a maintainable weight for me or even doable, but I want to see 199 just once in my adult life.
I'm setting 220 pounds as my maximum weight for the next decade of my life. I'm on the verge of 30 and I feel 220 pounds or under is a decent weight to maintain throughout my 30s.
I don't even know if that's possible, but I want it to be and I'm going to try to make it possible.
Well, there you have it, my introduction to my last months as a fatty.
I hope this goes well.

Hey man, you can absolutely meet your goals. I'm not familiar with the websites others have mentioned, but I've used the calorie tracker on livestrong.com in the past. Counting calories is a pain in the butt, but once you do it for a few weeks and get an idea of how many calories you're consuming each day, you start to get a sense of what and when you can/should be eating and you become more aware of the choices you make. For examples, is it worth it to eat a bagel that one of your coworkers brought in for an office treat even if you already had breakfast? How will that affect your weight loss goal if adding that treat puts you over your calorie goal for the day? Something to think about.
I think everyone who read your story is proud of you for sharing it and believes that you can get to where you want to be. Be accountable for your choices and you'll definitely reach your goals.

You're not at all alone in this battle. I'm a binge eater too. When I was growing up, I had no concept of proper nutrition or portion size and my mom would rather food go to my hips than into her garbage can, so I was a human garbage disposal, she fed me like a pig being readied for slaughter. I recently joined T.O.P.S. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) to help me keep myself accountable because I know it's essential to have peer support, especially since my self-discipline is somewhat lacking. Since I'm on the south side, the group I go to is in the world HQ building, a half block up the street from Beer Belly's. I don't know if I would go if it weren't for that irony - I laugh about that every time I go, and somehow that makes it easier. Anyhow, good luck to you in building a healthier patterns for yourself.

Thanks for your moving and honest story. I have also struggled with weight and food issues and my health has suffered. It can be a hard spiral to break out of. If you need any motivation, just look at your son and imagine all the things you want to be healthy to be part of. (That works for me.) Best of luck to you (and me too).

I've been fighting with myself to try and lose weight for 30 years and have been up and down. I found a site that is truly helpful. It is called Transformation.com by Bill Phillips. It's worth checking out. Sparkspeople is a great community, too. I like the food tracker.

Last updated 21 March 2009. Created on 4 April 2007.
Edited by quicksketch, fago, LeeHunter. Log in to edit this page.
This module just provides a new form element, that can be used by other modules.
It is an API module and this page is intended for developers!
This module provides a new form element, that can be used by other modules. This form element allows you to reuse existing forms inside your form!
So you can build forms that reuse existing forms while you extend them with further form items. Note that form reusing means not only reusing the visual representation, but also the validation and submit logic.
One important source for developers is the API documentation!
But let's show an example. We combine two forms into one - one node creation form for stories and one for books. All we need are two simple subforms, one for each node creation form. We set the correct form_id for each subform and pass the $node argument to it, which will be passed to node_form().
So here's the code:
* Implementation of hook_menu()
function subform_example_menu($may_cache) {
if ($may_cache) {
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'example',
'title' => t('Subform Example'),
'callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'callback arguments' => array('subform_example_add_nodes'),
'access' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
return $items;
function subform_example_add_nodes() {
global $user;
$form = array();
foreach (array('story', 'book') as $type) {
if (node_access('create', $type)) {
// Initialize new node:
$node = array('uid' => $user->uid, 'name' => $user->name, 'type' => $type);
//create the subform element
$form[$type.'_form'] = array(
'#type' => 'subform',
'#id' => $type .'_node_form',
'#arguments' => array($node),
'#data_separation' => TRUE,
//this sets the subform submit handler, which submits the subforms for you
$form['#submit']['subform_element_submit'] = array();
return $form;
That's it!
If you want to run and try these code, put it into subform_example.module and also create a subform_example.info file containing this two lines:
name = Subform Element Example
dependencies = subform_element
Then you can activate the example module. But note that this code requires at least version 1.1 of the subform_element module.
The example will present you both fully working node creation forms. You need to fill all required fields of both forms, only then the form validation succeeds. So the whole form will be submitted and your nodes are created!
Looking for support? Visit the Drupal.org forums, or join #drupal-support in IRC.
Subform with FileUpload
If your subform uses FileUpload, you need to edit your "container" FORM to use "enctype=multipart/form-data". Without that your form will not upload attached files. So add this line before render or return your form:
$form['#attributes'] = array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data');
If your subform uses ImageField module or FileField you also need to set (to the Subform element) the #data_separation to FALSE to let them work.
form['mysubform'] = array(
'#type' => 'subform',
'#id' => $type .'_node_form',
'#arguments' => array($node),
'#data_separation' => FALSE,
Notes: I added this comment after reading this issue: #208864: File uploads don't work on subform_element Hope my comment help someone :)

BB Man: What's the one thing regular guys with a low level of interest in grooming should introduce into their routines immediately?
Kurt Soller: How low are we talking? Definitely deodorant first. Followed by teeth-brushing. Then I'd go with face moisturizer. Because it actually feels good and helps your appearance—or will, at least, down the road.
BB Man: Deodorant before teeth-brushing—bold choice. Okay, what's a big grooming splurge that's really worth it?
Soller: If you're of the hirsute variety, I'd probably say back waxes. Barring that, I think the biggest financial splurge should be a great haircut. It's the only thing I can think of that not only makes you feel good and confident, but that other people will certainly notice. Take your stylist's or barber's advice when it comes to products for your new cut, too. They deal with this stuff all day, every day.
BB Man: What's a classic grooming product every guy should steal from his dad?
Soller: Barbasol. No shaving cream out there gets better lather.
BB Man: Steal from his girlfriend?
Soller: I think those mud masks can be pretty relaxing, actually. You can win points with her, be a little silly, and do it together.
BB Man: What's the weirdest grooming product that's ever landed on your desk?
Soller: I was once sent vaginal tightening cream.
BB Man: Yeesh! Okay, how about a rare miracle ingredient that guys don't know about but surely will soon? Magic hair growth powder from Thailand? All-natural nose-hair inhibiting serum extracted from baobab trees in Madagascar?
Soller: I'm actually more excited by commonplace ingredients being used in exotic ways. The one that comes to mind now is black pepper, the stuff with which we season our food daily. It's landing everywhere from shampoos to colognes for the "energizing" effect it offers. Mint used to be the go-to for that sort of thing, but pepper's a bit more masculine: Less clean, more rugged.
BB Man: Can you give us an overview of your own personal grooming routine? A snapshot of your medicine cabinet and shower caddy?
Soller: I use the Kiehl's grapefruit cleanser, amino acid shampoo, and "grooming aid" conditioner that's available at Equinox. Body lotion, too, from Kiehl's, but probably every other day. I'm of the perhaps-misguided belief that deodorant stops working after a bit, so I switch between Dove Men + Care and classic Old Spice. For my hair, I use this paste called Reformer, from Paul Mitchell men's line, Mitch. Or for something lighter, this stuff from a new unisex line—Verb—called "Styling Cream." It just works. Big believer in under-eye cream from (MALIN + GOETZ, especially after a night of drinks, and in Kiehl's Facial Fuel every morning (drinks or not) because it has caffeine inside, to help things look and feel a bit more awake. At home, I've been using American Crew's shampoo and conditioner since high school and have never had a reason to switch. The mint one. Marvis toothpaste in the licorice flavor, which sounds gross but isn't.
BB Man: That's a very complete but extremely reasonable routine—readers, take note. Last question: Flash forward ten years. You've just released your very own line of men's age-defying SPF moisturizer. Your full-blown toiletry and skincare empire is basically foregone conclusion. What's your brand called? What about the inevitable women's spin-off?
Soller: "Clark." It's my Grandmother's maiden name. Seems pretty timeless. The women's line would also be Clark, because "for her" just seems redundant. Let people figure it out themselves.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" will be released on Nov. 8, 2011, according to a media report. Gamer site Kotaku is reporting that the next edition of the popular "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" game will be released this fall.
The game will continue the plot from "Modern Warfare 2," which is currently the second best-selling game of all time in the nation. In June 2010, Activision Blizzard ( ATVI)said it had sold more than 20 million copies of MW2 worldwide. "Modern Warfare 2" ended with the United States trying to prevent a Russian invasion. "Modern Warfare 3" will feature about 15 missions. Gamers will be able to virtually travel around the world, with stops in New York, Paris and London, in an effort to stop the delivery of weapons of mass destruction and save the world. "The game will reshape the landscape of the 'Call of Duty' franchise, bringing an impressive number of eclectic settings, deep multi-player gaming and a story that ties up nearly all loose ends from previous titles, including the final moments of key figures in the series' history," Kotaku said, noting details shared by multiple sources. The "Call of Duty" video game series franchise is owned and published by Activision Blizzard. Previous "Modern Warfare" games were developed by Infinity Ward, however, due to a legal dispute between Activision and the former co-executives of Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software will assist in the development of the third installment. Many gamers believe that MW3 will be the biggest game of the year. --Written by Theresa McCabe in Boston. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Theresa McCabe. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to @TheresaMcCabe. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

In Pairs - Poem by hope cope
In Pairs
Creator has made everything
Everything made is to complement each other
Kind heart Thee
Sculpted the world
The way nobody lives alone ever
Everyone are made in pairs by Thee
To be for each other always
Like the sun and the sky
Sunrises and brightens up the sky by it's light
Setting of sun brings darkness to sky
And shows the effects on skies life when sun is gone
Like moon and the stars
To accompany the lonely moon
In the black canvas of sky
The stars are always there to cheer moon
Completing the beautiful art of the dark sky
Like a fountain and a stream
Fountain dripping and flowing to merge with stream
Like a stream and a lake
Stream flowing with a longing to meet the lake
Like a lake and a river
Lake passing all over happiness
Wishing to embrace the river soon
Like a river and a sea
River dreaming about to engulf and accept
The saltiness of the sea for rest of her life
Like a sea and an ocean
Sea waiting to embrace the ocean to find it's solitude
Like the mountains and the clouds
The mountains reaching out high to kiss the cloud
Like the rain and the earth
The rain showers down from the skies
So that the earth consumes her in the lap
And finally creator's greatest creation
Men and women to complement each other
So that men nor women is never ever left alone.

Hosted by Grammy award winner Patti LaBelle, Superstars of '70s Soul Live is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of R&B legends performing some of the greatest hits of the decade.
This emotional concert special, captured live in Atlantic City in November 2003, features performances from some of the biggest names in R&B, soul, disco and funk. Highlights include two numbers from host Patti LaBelle, including her chart-topping smash "Lady Marmalade"; The Commodores' hard-funk classic "Brick House"; the get-up-and-dance anthem "We Are Family" by Kathy and Joni Sledge of Sister Sledge; "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead – the duo's last performance together, recorded months before Whitehead's passing; and a historic reunion of the Chi-Lites with original lead singer Eugene Record, in what was to be the group's last performance with Record before his passing in 2005.
"This special is a dream come true, to gather the original voices and talents that define the '70s soul era," says MY MUSIC executive producer TJ Lubinsky. "You may not remember all their names, but you know each and every one of their songs as the music that defined the soul of the '70s."
Lubinsky spent two years tracking down the artists for the special, finding Yvonne Elliman ("If I Can't Have You") retired in Hawaii and convincing her to perform again in public for the first time in 27 years.
In addition, Lubinsky has produced a new CD collection exclusively for PBS titled MY MUSIC: POP SOUL MASTERS SERIES. The 7-disc set, available exclusively at PBS.org, represents the most comprehensive hits package of '70s soul ever compiled, all mastered from first generation tapes and featuring many remixes plus New York and Philly club rarities from the era.
Superstars of '70s Soul Live is part of special programming premiering on PBS stations beginning March 3, 2012. Check local listings for stations and times.

Without Cream, rock as we know it might sound very different today. The London-based band were only together for a brief couple years (1966-1968), but their success opened the door for subsequent generations of blues-rockers and power trios. The jazz-schooled chops of drummer Ginger Baker and bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce combined with the psychedelic heavy blues of Eric Clapton's stinging guitar for a level of improvisational skill never before heard in a rock context. After Baker and Clapton's reunion in Blind Faith, all three members of Cream went on to lengthy solo careers, ranging from Baker's experimental jazz and world music to Bruce's folk and jazz to Clapton's traditional blues and mainstream rock.
There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Fresh Cream, the album that introduced this seminal super-blues trio to America, was perhaps a bit too blues-based to do the advance hype ("Clapton is God!") justice. Two of its three best-known tracks, after all, were blues covers. It was Disraeli Gears that turned Cream into a "supergroup." Here they pursue the psychedelic ideals of the era with total abandon (the LP cover art still stands as one of the 1960s' most striking designs), merging these ideals with their take on the blues and adorning the amalgamation with some superb pop craftsmanship. Of the eleven originals here, four--"Tales of Brave Ulysses," "SWLABR," "Strange Brew," and "Sunshine of Your Love"--earned major airplay. This, their excess-free greatest moment, does the Cream legend proud. --Bill Holdship

PHP Variables, Special Symbols in PHP
In any language variables are one of the most important thing, in PHP we can declare a variable of any type, any where.
PHP Variable Example 1:
$var="This is a string value";//declaration as string variable echo "Value of \$var is: ".$var."
"; $var=23232;//declaration as integer variable echo "Value of \$var is: ".$var."
"; $var=23.23;//declaration as float variable echo "Value of \$var is: ".$var."
"; $var=true; echo "Value of \$var is: ".$var."
"; $var='c'; echo "Value of \$var is: ".$var."
";
Value of $var is: This is a string value Value of $var is: 23232 Value of $var is: 23.23 Value of $var is: 1 Value of $var is: c
From the above example we can easily understand that the datatype of a variable is dynamic in nature. A variable is capable of storing any kind of value right from String, Integer, Float etc.
Sometimes we need to print Double quote, Single quote, Variable names as a statement, in this case we should use \ sign.
Example 2:
$var="Any Value";//declaration as string variable echo "With '\' sign output is= \$var"."
"; echo "Without '\' sign output is=$var"."
"; echo"\"This text is within double quote\""."
";
With '\' sign output is= $var Without '\' sign output is= Any Value "This text is within double quote"

Gold, oil, other commodities rise on Election Day
The price of gold surged Tuesday as voters cast ballots.
Gold for December delivery increased $31.80, or 2 percent, to finish at $1,715 per ounce, its second consecutive day of gains. Oil jumped 3.6 percent and other commodities ended mostly higher.
Many traders were waiting for the results of the hard-fought race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. Analysts say the outcome could determine the future course of the Federal Reserve's economic stimulus measures, which have benefited commodities.
Once the election is settled, traders will shift their focus to a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" that will take effect unless Congress acts by Jan. 1. The European Central Bank also meets on Thursday.

Our mission is to serve as advocates for the students of Booksin Elementary School to enable them to achieve their fullest potential in a stimulating environment through the cooperative interaction of parents, teachers and community.
The priority of BESCA is to enhance and enrich the total school experience for all students equally and without bias.
This is accomplished through:
• providing services for school functions
• engaging in fundraising projects that support the school's goals and the Association's Mission
• encouraging parent, teacher, and community involvement and interaction
• collaborating with the San Jose Unified School District in providing educational opportunities
BESCA stands for Booksin Elementary School Community Association and is the School Connected Organization (SCO) that supports Booksin Elementary. An SCO serves to enrich the educational and/or extracurricular programs within the school community and is required to work within the framework provided by San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD). BESCA is governed by a set of bylaws and is managed by an Executive Board comprised of 5 elected parents, 3 teachers and the principal. BESCA meetings are held monthly during the school year, with the exception of the months of December and June.
Each year, BESCA supports a multitude of programs that benefit every Booksin student. In addition to funding such programs as art, music, science, technology, the garden, the library, class field trips and more, our fundraising events, particularly Walkathon, provide funds to teachers for use within their classrooms, assist students with fees related to 5th Grade Science Camp and much more. That said, not all of BESCA's support to Booksin is financial. Booksin is known for its culture of parent involvement and volunteerism. Members of BESCA's parent community are active on and off campus every day, both in the classroom providing assistance to teachers and outside the classroom working on initiatives and events such as Dining Nights Out, Hicklebee's Book Fair, Safe Side programs, the Student Book Exchange, Yearbook and more.

As NewsBuster Dan Gainor has noted, Playboy Mexico thought it could make some pesos by peddling an issue with a scantily-clad Virgin Mary on the cover—just in time for Christmas. Today's Los Angeles Times contains an editorial denouncing the tasteless stunt. All well and good. But it set me to wondering. Did the LAT protest similar outrages against religous symbols when they appeared in the US?
The infamous "Piss Christ" comes to mind. Even more on point is the portrait of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by lacquered elephant dung and cutouts from pornographic magazines, that the Brooklyn Museum found worthy of display.
I'm going to guess that the LAT never editorialized against either of these. As NewsBuster and Times Watcher Clay Waters pointed out, the LAT's East Coast counterpart, the NY Times, editorialized in defense of both works of "art," while condemning the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad
I have a sneaky suspicion that something similar has occured here. The LAT goes to bat for the religious feelings of those from a different country or culture, but wouldn't defend the similar sensibilities of those in its own country. If someone can point me to LAT editorials denouncing either of the offensive items that appeared in the USA, I'll be glad to admit my mistake.
Note: the LAT ends its editorial in writing:
Because Playboy clearly has poor judgment in these matters, let us offer a bit of unsolicited advice: If there is an upcoming issue featuring a scantily clad Fatima, trust us, it's a bad idea.
Fatima was a daughter of the prophet Muhammad. Does anyone imagine that in a million years Playboy would dare do such a thing?

Prisuta: Player-friendly atmosphere for Pens
Upon becoming general manager of the Penguins, Ray Shero had an agenda.
"One of the first calls I made was to see if I could get Jay McKee," Shero said.
Three seasons and one Stanley Cup later, Shero has his man.
All it took this time was a one-year, $800,000 offer.
Granted, the conditions of McKee's buyout by the St. Louis Blues stipulated that he receive $2.5 million-plus just for walking away.
Still, veteran defensemen with grit and character command more than $800,000 on the open market.
But McKee was more interested in competition than compensation.
There's a lot of that going around.
It started when Sidney Crosby took less than he could have demanded.
Evgeni Malkin followed suit.
And then Brooks Orpik.
And then Jordan Staal.
Now comes an offseason that has seen Bill Guerin, Ruslan Fedotenko and Craig Adams all return for — forget market value — less than they made last season with the Penguins.
It'd be understandable if, after helping a team win a Stanley Cup, they felt entitled to a raise.
They're apparently more interested in raising another banner.
This is what the Penguins have become.
Mike Babcock saw this coming before the Penguins upended his Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Final, and predicted before the puck dropped for Game 7 that all the winning the Penguins have done of late would serve as the best possible recruiting tool, as it has for years in Detroit.
But it's not just the wining that has transformed the Penguins into a destination franchise.
"You can't make it happen unless you have the support of ownership," Shero said.
It goes beyond Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle deciding to spend to the salary cap in advance of receiving the anticipated revenue bump that will be generated by the new arena.
It includes, Shero maintains, treating the players with honesty and respect, whether they're in the process of being re-signed or sent to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
And it's all based, Shero said, on the creation of a family-type atmosphere that strives to take care of the players' families and loved ones as well as the players.
An example of how that works: When a player is acquired, there's usually a little something that arrives at the door for his wife a couple of days later. Shero's wife Karen often sees to such "Welcome-to-the-Penguins" gestures.
"It's not much," Shero said. "Within the limits if the salary cap."
An example of what that produces: A Thursday visit to Shero's office by Mark Recchi for a 45-minute catch-up visit. That's the same Recchi who was a healthy scratch late in his most recent Penguins tenure and ultimately placed on waivers by Shero.
Players still leave via free agency.
Money still talks.
But they're a lot easier to retain and replace these days, given the environment created by a fan base that gathers by the thousands to watch games outside Mellon Arena and the potential to win recognized by players around the league such as McKee, who has been to a Final but hasn't won one.
"We've won a Stanley Cup," Shero said. "We have Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. It's Mario Lemieux's team. There's a new building coming.
"There's not too much not to like."

The cells in a notebook each have a definite style. You can change the
style of a cell by selecting the cell bracket and using the Format/Style
menu item.
By default, cells take "Input" style, which means they are executable.
If you put text in such a cell, it will 'execute' (or 'evaluate',
depending on your point of view) when you execute the notebook -
producing a spurious output. Text stored in "Input" cells, also looks
pretty ugly.
You should only store Mathematica instructions that you wish to evaluate
in "Input" cells.
I am 90% sure this is the problem you are describing.

The Caps have won three straight and everybody's happy and having a good time. But when the wins weren't happening and the pixels were sad, it cast a spotlight on certain players who weren't meeting expectations.
Injured forward Brooks Laich, who was recently cleared for contact in practice, called into the Junkies on 106.7 and kindly asked us all not to jump to conclusions.
"People are really quick to judge, and really think they understand and really think they know what's going on with an individual or a team or whatever," he said. "But a lot of times, they don't have a clue. They aren't even in the ballpark. They don't know if a player…they might say he's lost a step or something, but he might be playing with a fractured ankle. They have no idea. Or he's not shooting the puck anymore, he's lost his shot. He might have a sprained wrist that he can't even open a car door or something. People don't know all the time."
Now I want to know who's playing with a sprained wrist and can't open his car door.
"You guys know what we want you know," he continued. "That's how it works."
Which is fine. But if we don't know, and you don't tell us, then all we have is assumed conclusions, and we're all dumber for it.

Able Danger on Air America
It looks like everyone is turning on the 9/11 Commission. Freeh might have been onto something with this quote from his op-ed:
Here's the first entry in the "Top Stories" list on Air America:
The Able Danger intelligence, if confirmed, is undoubtedly the most relevant fact of the entire post-9/11 inquiry. Even the most junior investigator would immediately know that the name and photo ID of Atta in 2000 is precisely the kind of tactical intelligence the FBI has many times employed to prevent attacks and arrest terrorists. Yet the 9/11 Commission inexplicably concluded that it "was not historically significant." This astounding conclusion--in combination with the failure to investigate Able Danger and incorporate it into its findings--raises serious challenges to the commission's credibility and, if the facts prove out, might just render the commission historically insignificant itself.
Here's the first entry in the "Top Stories" list on Air America:
"Able Danger" Could Have Prevented 9/11
Former F.B.I. Director Louis Freeh is baffled by the 9/11 commission and its bogus reports. "Recent revelations from the military intelligence operation code-named "Able Danger" have cast light on a missed opportunity that could have potentially prevented 9/11". Military officers assigend to "able danger" identified Mohamed Atta as an Al-Qaeda operative in 2000, however they were prevented from sharing this information with the F.B.I. and C.I.A. Why? How could the 9/11 commission conclude that this knowledge was "not historically significant?"

When DrScheme encounters a reference to the builtin set!, such as (set! variable expression), it looks up the variable and expands based on that. So if you have some variable and you want it to represent communication on a port, for instance, you could write the following: (define the-port (open-input-file "the-file.txt")) (define-syntax comm (make-set!-transformer (lambda (stx) (syntax-case stx (set!) [(set! id expr) (syntax (write expr the-port))] [id (identifier? (syntax id)) (syntax (read the-port))] [_ (raise-syntax-error #f "not an operator" stx)])))) This makes comm a macro. When used in set!, it writes to the-file.txt. When used as a variable reference, it reads from the-file.txt. Any other use is a syntax error. Unlike redefining set! (as Jens has just posted), set! will still work normally for every other identifier. It has only changed for comm. This may be the kind of context sensitive behavior you need. If not, go with what Jens wrote.

While I can see an argument either way, I think I'd prefer it to be tied to the instance. I like this because then it works the same as it does being in different windows. I don't have a strong opinion on this though. Cheers, Shawn

|Kirkpatrick rescues 700 string at Classic Lanes
|Larry Mason
August 3, 2004 - Joe Kirkpatrick did what no other bowler was able to accomplish this week - bowl a 700 series. The Sunday night folks could only get to within 24 pins of the mark, when Jason Parmer rolled a 676. On Thursday, the men came to within 15 pins of hitting 700, and one again, the bowler responsible was none other than Parmer. Had it not been for the fact that Kirkpatrick saved the day on Tuesday, the string would have ended.
The Sunday league saw its last action on July 25. Parmer was the night's top bowler, rolling a 676 made up of games of 187, 212 and 277. Terry Kozeluh gave the elusive 700 a run for its money as well, shooting a 668 series, his highest of the summer season. Nathan Crist finished Sunday's night's play with the third-highest series of the day, a 653, followed by Dave Gholson's 643. At any rate, at the close of Sunday night league's last session, no one had shot a 700.
On Tuesday, Kirkpatrick, who had been vacationing in the area, returned to the center with blisters on the tips of his fingers - the ones that go into the bowling ball. He had been bowling out-of-town, it seems, and paid a price. The prospect of his bowling a 700 series, or anything else significant for that matter, seemed pretty unlikely.
All Joe was able to do was shoot a 259 to begin the evening, followed by a 246 in game two and a 217 in game three, to finish the night with a 722. It was Joe's fourth 700 series of the summer. Joe managed to shoot 25 strikes, nine spares and had but one open frame. All of his spares were single pin leaves, 10-pins or four-pins. His single open frame was the result of a "chop" of a 4-7 leave. Maybe there's something to be said about having blisters on one's fingers.
Kirkpatrick has four 700 series to his credit this summer. He had also shot three honor games, a 290, a 298 and a 300. Joe received a plaque from the folks at ABC for the first game, and for the second and third he received rings. Joe ranks seventh on the high average list with a 210, is eighth on the high series list with a 737 and is tied with Greg Pullen and Mike Gilliland for first on the high game list with a perfect 300. Thursday, Joe shot a 651.
On Thursday evening, Parmer shot the night's second highest three-game series, a 685, and had one of only two four-game 900 series, a 905. His first three games were 266, 224 and 195, and his fourth game was a 220. Jason presently ranks 12th on the high average list with a 204 from Sunday night. Parmer ranks 14th on the high series list with a 698, and his highest game so far this summer is a 280, which places him third on the high game list.
Ken Sharp and Cliff Whitney both rolled 679s on Tuesday night. Ken, who has been struggling somewhat recently, tossed games of 214, 245 and 220 to collect his 679, while Whitney shot games of 267, 187 and 225 to gather his. Whitney regained the number one spot on the high average list, besting last week's top spot holder, Wes Campbell, by two pins. Sharp is currently averaging 197 and in 18th place on the high average list, where he is tied with teenage bowler Colten Cordell, Darrell Green and Nevil Solomon. Actually, Whitney has to share the top average spotlight with David Gholson, a guy who has been absolutely burning the lanes up of late.
All Gholson has managed to do in the last two weeks is to shoot four consecutive 260-plus games on Thursday night, hitting a 1,016 last week and a 946 this week. Gholson's three highest games this week were 268, 231 and 258, which had been thrown consecutively, in games 1-3, would have given him a 757 three game series. Unfortunately, the scores came in game one, game three and game four. Bear in mind that this is the same guy who shot an 804 three-game series in games 2-4 last week. In addition to being tied for first place in average, David has the summer's fourth-highest series, a 749, and had a high game of 269, which ranks eighth on the high game list. His three-game series on Thursday was a 688, highest for the evening, and he rolled a 643 on Tuesday. Gholson has some of the more experienced bowlers looking over their shoulders.
Dickie Harrison put together games of 279, 198 and 201 on Tuesday to complete the night's play with a 678 series, 22 pins shy of the 700 mark. It was Harrison's second 279 of the summer. On these two occasions, one pin is all that separated Dickie from a perfect game.
On the ladies' side of the ledger we find Barbara Siegert, who shot games of 197, 234 and 201 to register a 632 series Tuesday evening. Barbara is averaging 178 for the summer, has a high game of 234 and a high series of 632, all coming as the result of Tuesday's play.
Others who bowled well this week included: Kozeluh (668), Campbell (663 Tuesday/624 Thursday), Crist (653), Parmer (637), and Turk Morgan and Bo Duncan (629).
Larry Mason writes a weekly column on the bowling leagues at Classic Lanes. His column appears on Tuesday.

Hmm. I've never had a problem with this, and you said you tried the attributes.
My first debugging suggestion would be to run htdig and then take a
look at the ASCII db.wordlist file. Does this contain the words?
If not, it would help to see your config file--just so we can check

Top ChefMarch 9, 2006 | By | COMMENTS
Bravo markets "Top Chef" with such fervor you can't tell if they're really really nervous or really really proud. After watching the first episode, I think they should be both. They should be proud for landing a genuine food personality as their judge (Tom Collichio, of Craft fame) and for assembling a "motley crew" (as one chef called it) of competitors. Here's where they should be nervous: the show lacks both the authority and smooth mechanics of "Project Runway" which, despite its kitschy tones, is a real masterwork of the reality show format. "Project Runway" is fun because fashion is both exotic and familiar to us: we don't necessarily know how to stitch a pair of pants, but we know what a decent pair of pants looks like. We are removed from the proceedings yet we are engaged. With "Top Chef," we are completely engaged. We can look at that food and know immediately whether we'd eat it or not. And unlike "Project Runway" where a competitor's personality has absolutely no bearing on whether their clothes are winning or not (even Santino redeemed himself at the end), "Top Chef" exposes the very personal relationship between the food we eat and who prepares it. On the very first episode the guy voted off is the guy everyone liked the least. Is this a coincidence? Of course not. So the show, then, becomes a popularity contest instead of a contest based on merit. Plus, the competitors are such a mixed bag–self-trained home cooks, personal chefs to the stars, Las Vegas sommeliers (I loved the quote: "Stephen is a sommelier which means he's a bullshit artist")–it's difficult to gauge how seriously to take the show. "This isn't about being a housewife, this is about being a chef," said the snooty French judge-of-the-night. So why, then, not cast the show with 12 (or however many) equally equipped competitors? It's no fun to watch a 4 year old get beat up by a 16 year old. But maybe I'm underestimating the untrained chefs the way many might have underestimated the unschooled designers on "Project Runway." And maybe I'm taking this too seriously: after all, it's just reality TV. The question remains: will I be hooked? I'll add it to my Tivo but we'll see if I keep watching it. I have more important things, like Martha Stewart reruns, to enjoy.

Docket Management
Docket: 01N-0078 - Assessment Attitudes Toward Direct-to-Consumer Promo of Prescription Drugs
Comment Number: EC -10
Accepted - Volume 1
Comment Record
Dr. Alan Goldhammer
2001-05-18 13:56:43
Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America
Comments for FDA General
5. General Comments
The following comments on the above noted Federal Register notice are submitted on behalf of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). PhRMA represents the country's leading research-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Our member companies are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to lead longer, happier, healthier, and more productive lives; our members will invest over $30 billion in 2001 for the discovery and development of new medicines. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to conduct two surveys: one of physicians and a second of patients, to assess respective attitudes towards direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising. PhRMA believes that these surveys, as presently constructed, will yield little useful information. PhRMA views the survey design as heavily weighted towards gathering information about attitudes and perceptions about DTC advertising when, in fact, the ultimate goal should be gauge DTC advertising's impact on the public health. FDA must be cognizant of the fact that the landscape for health care is rapidly changing. In this information age, more and more patients are taking control of their health care decisions. As a result, many new sources of user accessible health care information are available. For example, some 50 consumer magazines focusing on health care hit the news stands every month. Just about every television station in the country has a physician dispensing medical news. Internet users can surf literally tens of thousands of sites dedicated to various health care topics including databases on clinical trials. According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Center, six out of every 10 Americans now have ready access to the Internet, and half of those who have online access look for health information at least once a month. And two out of every five say their research affects decisions they make about which doctors to see and what treatments to undergo. So while DTC advertising is one source of information for consumers, it is clearly not the only source of information. DTC advertising brings patients into doctors' offices and allows physicians to treat people who might otherwise go undiagnosed and untreated. By telling people about the symptoms of such diseases and by assuring them that effective treatments are available, DTC advertising can improve public health and save lives. Patients can benefit from the valuable information DTC advertising provides on symptoms and new treatment options. For example: · The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 45 million Americans over age 12 carry the virus that causes genital herpes. Yet, only about 4.5 million Americans are being treated. Recent surveys of DTC ads for genital herpes have provided some compelling results on the positive impact of DTC advertising. For example, 34% of physicians stated they had seen an increase in the number of newly diagnosed herpes patients. This seems to indicate that patients who may have been suffering in silence were prompted to seek treatment and talk to a healthcare professional about their disease. · For every one million men who went to physicians requesting a prescription for Viagra, doctors found: undiagnosed diabetes in an estimated 30,000; high blood pressure in 140,000; and heart disease in 50,000. Thus, FDA should consider the impact of DTC advertising on public health and refine these two surveys to reflect this. As an Agency dedicated toward improving and protecting the pubic health, the FDA must not rely on mere perceptions and attitudes but look towards understanding the contextual importance of informing the public of their options in health care decision-making.

|Choral Society starting the season on a high
Annual concert promises to be 'intensely Christmas'
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Nov. 25, 2005 -- If you want to kick off the Christmas holiday on a high note, you can't do much better than the North East Texas Choral Society's annual Christmas concert.
This year's concert, entitled "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like ... " will be performed twice, first at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, then again at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, in the concert hall at Hopkins County Regional Civic Center.
"'It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like ... ', and every heart and every family will fill in the rest a little differently," said Carol Allen, Choral Society music director. "For some -- definitely for kids -- it will be toys and Santa and maybe even more. Adults like the time off, and all of us hope and pray for a rain this season. Every heart has its wish."
The concert will be "intensely Christmas" with a lot of old favorites such as "Sleigh Ride," "Jingle Bells," "Let It Snow," "Caroling, Caroling," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and, of course, "White Christmas."
The program is described as a very kid-friendly performance featuring the vocal talents of the NETCS members, and generally includes an array of stylings and twists to keep things moving along in holiday cheer.
Denisio Mala is slated for a special guest performance with Allen. They will be singing the highly requested "The Prayer," hailed by Choral Society member Linda Riddle as "a show stopper" not to be missed. The number is being reprised for the first time in five years at the request of Choral Society fans.
The Choral Society will also be performing a "really beautiful setting" of "O Holy Night."
"There will be audience sing-a-long moments in which the audience will have a way to accompany the choir," Allen said. "It's a lot of fun and joy."
This year, through a generous gift from a Mount Vernon resident, the Choral Society is able to offer a block of 30 free tickets through the Sulphur Springs school system for students and individuals interested in attending, and another block of tickets for the Mount Pleasant-Mount Vernon area.
"It is our fondest hope and wish that everybody will bring a child, bring a mother, a neighbor who maybe doesn't go out much, a Sunday school class, dinner clubs, various civic clubs," Allen said. "It's a great way to get your Christmas season off to a holly, jolly start."
"Christmas is the one time of the year, besides maybe Easter, when choral music is a perfect way to receive the holiday season with both secular and sacred songs," she urged. "Come and see your contemporaries, the people you work with and go to church with, singing the joy of the season in concert."
Those planning to attend the Sunday performance should note that the concert has been moved up an hour from its usual time, and will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3. That will allow time for those attending the approximately 90-minute concert to get home without having to drive in the darker evening hours.
Tickets are available in advance from any Choral Society member for $5 for children under 12, and $10 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the door the day of the concert for $7 for children under 12 and $12 for adults. Tickets may also be purchased at local banks and First United Methodist Church.
Although not required for admission, the Choral Society hopes those attending will also help support Hopkins County Christian Alliance and Hopkins County Community Cupboard by donating nonperishable or canned food items in the collection boxes located in the Civic Center lobby on the concert days. All food collected will stay in Hopkins County, according to Riddle.
Also on sale during the concert will be NETCS CDs featuring performances from previous concerts.

There are some days that are SO GOOD I can't wait to blog about them. And then there are days that are just so awful it takes days to recover from the sadness. I'm not one to write a post and hit publish though, there is always an hour or two of thinking about the post, proofreading, spellchecking, grammar-nazi behavior. So there are currently 19 draft posts sitting in blogger. None of them are finished, some are just a title and two lines, and there they all sit, unread.
want/need/desire (I cannot find the right word) to get back into the place where I could sit down with my journal and write until my hand hurt, my brain was calm, and I found peace inside my heart. It has been a long time since I was that girl, since I have found that place, and I miss it within the depths of my soul.
Friday was a day that was SO GOOD, I couldn't wait to share my joy with everyone I knew. My bff at work had her baby on Friday - a sweet 6lb, 13oz baby girl with a head of hair and the cutest smile at just 1 day old. And my little brother became an Army Infantry Sniper. He is one of just 150 graduates from that program this year. I was SO SO SO proud, happy, excited at the end of the day.
And then there was Saturday, where I made a list of all the things that I wanted and needed to do before Christmas - and thought I would cry right on the spot. Trying to be me, a good friend, a good bridesmaid, a good wife, and a good daughter is exhausting. I wish I could enjoy our first Christmas in our home. Instead, I'm focused on Christmas for my dad and brother - decorating their home, buying them a tree, and wrapping their gifts. I bought a tree for our house, but it has no lights or decorations, because there isn't time. I think Christmas this year is proving more difficult than Christmas last year, and it is exhausting. Last year there was support from all areas of our lives, and it did lift a bit of the burden from our shoulders. This year, not the case. I am off on Tuesday from work, and my to-do list is already so long I know it is unattainable. I'm not sure who this sad, exhausted person is that I have become - it's not the person I want to be and I know it is not the person my Mommy raised. But how do I find myself again? How do I find myself when my goal for 2014 (an incredibly personal one) has been turned down as a possibility by one of my best friends? How do I find myself when those I used to count on don't answer calls or respond to texts when I need them most? How do I make time for me when my suggestions of simplifying the holidays and other events are met with responses of selfishness and disrespect?
Here's to 2013 being over. Yes, I'm wishing away the last 15 days of this month, wishing away the last 2 weeks of this year. I'm ready to start over for myself - to find myself - maybe?

Student Reviews
I'm an adult student that's been studying w/ Nick, once a week for the past 8 months. If you're new to Piano or have a passion in music of ANY genre, trust me, definitely consider him. Not only does he have a great amount of patience for crazy off-key students like me, but regardless of my random struggles, he had the ability to identify the source of the issue and provide a solution. A MacGyver of piano teachers. He constantly challenges me - I'm the type of person who tends to decline in what I am or am not interested in doing or willing to do. But I've always left satisfied, patient and hopeful that my music career will be successful one day. With Nick it's not just about learning piano and songs, but the core root of music in general-- theory and composition that I badly need as an artist. I definitely look forward to continuing my studies with Nick.Sandira Blas Teacher: Nick M.
