What people think:
"I read through the battle buddy section of When War Comes Home last night. It made me so thankful that God had sent me [my battle buddy] just when I needed her. As the book indicates, [she's] someone who can set me straight when I need her to and someone who I know I can always trust. We were able to persevere through the deployment when all we really thought we'd do was have a nervous breakdown." -- Myndee M. Reed, Hutchinson, Kan.
"I've been using When War Comes Home in a support group for wives and family members of combat veterans, and I highly recommend this manual. It provides information and support to family members and is a tool to help stop the unraveling of military families. As a wife of a Vietnam Vet who battled the war after the war -- PTSD -- I felt like When War Comes Home was written about my life and was a tremendous healing experience for me." -- Karen Blehm, wife of a Vietnam veteran and PTSD sufferer
"When War Comes Home is very relevant to a reality I live. It speaks truth and is a pathway for the Lord to bring complete healing and freedom." -- Heather Zoellner, Women on the Homefront co-facilitator

Most 18-year-olds are spending their evenings studying for school, counting the days until graduation.
Nick Ebert is playing defense for the Reign, who started the playoffs Tuesday night against the Utah Grizzlies.
Ebert was a seventh-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings - the last pick overall in the 2012 draft. And when his season with his junior team, the Windsor Spitfires, ended a little over a week ago, he got a call from the Kings saying he would be continuing his season with the Reign.
And he's made the most of it so far, compiling three assists in the three games, one in each game, with a plus-3 rating. And he was in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's playoff opener.
"It was exciting," Ebert said of the call-up. "I got a call from (Kings Assistant General Manager Ron Hextall) and (he) told me they were going to bring me out to the Ontario Reign, and play here a couple of games, and if they liked me, I could join them for the playoffs as well."
His play has drawn good reviews so far. He has been used on a regular basis by coach Jason Christie, and even used him on the power play, including staying out for the entire two minutes of one power play in Saturday's regular-season finale.
"He's a smart player," Christie said after a recent game. "He's strong on pucks. He makes the right plays. He's a young kid, but you can see the talent in him. Any time you have an offensive guy like that on your blueline, you know why guys in the NHL get 30 minutes a game."
Ebert is expected to head back to Windsor next season to compete his junior eligibility. But he's making the most of his first taste of pro action, and soaking in all the lessons he can from Reign assistant coach Mark Hardy, a former NHL defenseman.
"I've only been here about a week, and I've learned so much already," Ebert said of Hardy's coaching. "It's pretty amazing the stuff that he knows. It's a real honor to have him as a coach. Just real fortunate to be coached by him and the rest of the guys here. He's one of the better coaches that I've seen and played for. So it's pretty nice for sure."
Christie is keeping a close eye on the young defenseman, making sure he gets valuable experience without piling too much on the 18-year-old.
"You want to grow into it. You don't want to overload him," Christie said. "You want him to use his own hockey sense. Just let him play and tweak it here or there. He's on a high, he's coming out of juniors, he's playing pro, so it's a high, so he's going to live off that. He's going to have a down time, and that's when grab the reins and rope him a little bit."
Playoff roster
The Reign finalized their playoff roster Tuesday morning without any big surprises on the 23-man list.
Each team is allowed to have 20 players on the active roster, with three reserve spots for injured or players on call-ups to the American Hockey League.
One of the Reign's reserve spots went to popular left winger Colton Yellow Horn, who was leading the ECHL in goals when he was signed to a professional tryout agreement with the Manchester Monarchs.
But fans shouldn't expect to see Yellow Horn back any time soon, as the Monarchs are in a fight for a playoff spot of their own. And his play has not suffered at the higher level. He has six goals and nine assists in 20 games for the Monarchs.
"He's fit in well and done a good job," said Hextall, who serves as the Monarchs' general manager as part of his duties.
"The opportunity came about because of some injuries in critical roles and he fit right away. And that's his niche as a scorer, a skill guy, and he fit into the lineup. Give the kid credit, he's done the job, and as a skill guy, that's what you want."

Replication of the Green House Project: Developing small community homes as alternatives to nursing homes
This grant supports communications activities that will further rapid replication and adoption of the Green House model throughout the U.S. as the nation's core, default nursing home rebuilding/repositioning strategy. Spreading understanding and support of the model's goals, feasibility, and outcomes is critical to the rapid recruitment of Green House replication projects. Activities will be managed by the Foundation with the assistance of Green House leadership. These activities include employing several of the "5 Cs" that characterize the Foundation's grant-making approaches--convening and coordinating efforts among potential collaborators; connecting Green House leadership with investors, payers, and other important constituencies; developing core messages and plans so that leadership can consistently communicate the model's vision for each key constituency; and deploying earned media and other outreach and dissemination strategies. This grant also includes support for branding, licensing, and purchasing marketing data that will help the Foundation identify key areas that are ripe for development of the Green House vision. The project is consistent with the Foundation's interest in identifying and replicating sustainable innovative models to improve health and health care.

Bentley showed its first-ever SUV concept, the controversial EXP 9 F, to the public yesterday for the first time in the U.S. The car was put out on the concepts lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California.
In a nod to the attention the car has received elsewhere, Bentley Motors President Christophe Georges emphasizes that the design is still under review."We are gauging marketing interest." Though that leaves the door open to junking the current design, he added that "reaction has been great" to it.
The company is serious about adding an SUV for the first time, and it needs to join the line by 2015. "A lot of customers are asking for an SUV Bentley," Georges says.
The car received mixed reviews when it was first shown in Europe. Some called it downright ugly, mostly due to its wide, squat look with huge "windmill" wheels and an attempt to pick up visual cues from the company's Mulsanne flagship from the front. Georges calls it "consistent with Bentley DNA."
Inside, though, it's rather impressive. The stitching on the snow-white seats on the concept, the detailing of the dash and the picnic set in the rear are all pretty cool.
Our guess: Having opened the door to the idea that design is still under review, we suspect it to receive some big changes before going to market.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University women's basketball head coach Kate Glusko has announced the addition of six players for the 2011-12 season: 5-7 senior guard Tiara Gause of Fayetteville, N.C., 6-0 senior center Danielle Gibson of Roebuck, S.C., 5-9 junior guard Hattie Harris of Mason, Tenn., 5-7 junior guard Shameka Smith of Centreville, Va., 5-8 junior guard Carmella Thompson of Oklahoma City, Okla., and 6-1 freshman post player Nakesha Whitaker of Bonneau, S.C.
Gause is a transfer from Elon University, where she played three seasons and was the Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2009. This past season for the 20-13 Phoenix, she averaged 5.1 points per game in 22 contests.
In her three collegiate seasons, she appeared in 81 contests and averaged 6.9 points and 1.2 steals per game.
Gause was an All-State performer at Westover High School, in addition to helping her school to the 2008 4A state title and earning All-Conference recognition four times.
"Tiara will make an immediate impact in the backcourt and at both ends of the floor," said Glusko. "She is a good defensive player and has the ability to score in a several ways. She will provide us with veteran leadership."
Gibson is a transfer from Charleston Southern University, where she played three seasons. This past year, she averaged 1.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in 26 games for the Lady Buccaneers. She appeared in 73 contests in three years.
Gibson is a product of Dorman High School, where she garnered All-Region honors and played in several post-season All-Star games. She was a member of the Cavaliers' 2005 state championship squad.
"Danielle is a solid post player with three years Division I experience. She can rebound and get up and down the floor. She will also provide great leadership, and has shown a determination to make an impact in 2011-12."
Harris is a transfer from State Fair Community College in Missouri. She helped lead the Lady Roadrunners to a two-year record of 56-11, two Region XVI championship game appearances, and the program's third NJCAA national tournament appearance, as well as program's first win at the national tournament.
This past season as team captain, Harris averaged 6.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, while leading the team in charges taken with 24. As a freshman, she contributed 6.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per contest.
Harris was an All-Region and All-State performer at Fayette-Ware High School.
"Hattie comes from an excellent junior college program. She has good length and will make an impact on the defensive end. She is athletic and explosive, can rebound, and can get to the rim on the offensive end."
Smith played last season at Colorado Northwestern Community College (9.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 2.6 apg) and her freshman year at Western Texas College (4.7 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 1.9 apg).
Although being a native of Virginia, she graduated from Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas, where as a senior she helped the Panthers to a 17-8 record and a spot in the semifinals of the Class 4A Sunset Region playoffs.
"Shameka will play in the backcourt. She can shoot the three or score off the dribble. She is very athletic and is a hard worker."
Thompson is a transfer from Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, where she played two seasons. She averaged 6.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.2 steals per game last season for a 20-11 Lady Mavs squad. As a freshman, she averaged 3.3 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 3.9 apg, and 2.6 spg.
Thompson is a product of Putnam City High School.
"Carmella will play the point guard position. She is very athletic, will provide immediate experience, and can score in a variety of ways. However, her biggest asset is her ability to create for her teammates and get them involved at the offensive end."
Whitaker is a graduate of Timberland High School, where she played for coach Cleve Touchberry. She was named to the 2011 S.C. High School Sports Report's All-State Team after helping lead the Lady Wolves to a 25-2 record and the 2011 Class AA state championship. She scored 15 points in the title game.
"Nakesha possesses fantastic physical size. She is athletic and has all the potential in the world. With the ability to face up at the three-point line and take defenders off the dribble, hit the mid-range jumper, and score in the post, her best is yet to come."
Francis Marion posted an 18-10 mark this past year and made its fourth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division II National Tournament.
The six newcomers will join two signees announced during last winter's early signing period: 6-0 junior forward Daphne Walker of Jacksonville, Fla., and 5-5 freshman guard Jadda (pronounced JAY-da) Jefferies of Burlington, N.C.

Red Cross helping 6 families after Newport fire
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Officials with the American Red Cross say they're helping six families who were displaced after a fire at a Newport apartment complex.
No one was injured in the fire on Friday night at the Festival Field Apartments on Girard Avenue, but six adults and a child were forced from their homes.
Fire officials say a mattress caught fire in a bedroom of one of the apartments. The blaze was contained to the bedroom, but there was smoke and water damage to other apartments. The cause of the fire hasn't been disclosed.
Red Cross officials say they're helping the families with housing, food and clothing needs.

Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!
Everyone's favorite miserable cat is finally getting her own movie. No, not Garfield. There have been two Garfield movies already. Where have you been? But it has been announced that Tard herself, aka Grumpy Cat, is the inspiration for a 'Garfield'-like live-action movie.
Steve Carell made a delightful appearance on 'Ellen' the other day. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Gru, Steve Carell's character from 'Despicable Me,' made an appearance.
Here's a nice, unsettling thing to look at: "Sloth-facing," also known as "Quasimoderping." Basically, you just move the eyes around a picture until it looks like a sloth and you are laughing/scared. It's pretty big on the internet right now, thanks to Redditor treverhaas, whose album of sloth-faced celebrities picked up some steam.
Of course, subreddit /r/quasimoderp have been doing this (more or less) for about seven months now, so there are lots of good celbrisloths floating around on the internet. Here are some of our favorites:
If you were planning on taking pictures at your wedding, you may as well cancel the photographer. In fact, you should probably call off the entire wedding, because what could possibly top this picture?
Kids, they say the darndest things, amirite?? One couple decided to harness the precocity of toddlers to announce to their friends and family that they're having a baby...
If you're not taking advantage of your baby's pliability and lack of motor control skills to pose them for silly photographs, frankly we don't understand why you even had kids. If for no other reason than to post a picture of your kid to Facebook every once in a while that is actually entertaining, instead of just sharing "the magic" of a 10-month-old eating pie. Of course they like it -- it's pie.
The long-awaited fourth season of 'Arrested Development' finally came out this weekend, forcing thousands of people to cancel their Memorial Day plans to sit in their dark living rooms, far away from nature and sunlight instead. But mindlessly shoveling takeout into their mouths as they sank deeper and deeper into their sofas wasn't all they were doing -- they were also complaining about the new episodes on Twitter and Facebook. Surprised that a show isn't exactly the same as it was before it took a seven-year hiatus, this is a GIF guide to the nearly universal reaction people had to the fourth season.
If you're like us (larger than life mo-fos who don't take no guff from NOBODY), you probably find yourself screaming "DEAL WITH IT" at people on the internet on a fairly regular basis. But why type it in all caps, when you could just post a link to a GIF on somebody's Facebook page after shamelessly confessing that you think their baby is "average at best"? After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a GIF must be worth like a thousand million by our estimate. Don't like our math? DEAL WITH IT.
If you brought a spare pare of pants to work today, feel free to watch this video. Storm chasers Bradon Ivey and Sean Casey were sitting in their "Tornado Intercept Vehicle" when they quite literally intercepted a tornado.

I had IPL done at the same time as the Titan Laser. The cost for the IPL was about $350
The doctor put a cold numbing cream on me and I didn't feel anything - just a painless "shock". However, she zapped part of my lip by accident and I felt that and it hurt all day.
My reason was that I had this done was I have enlarged pores, broken blood vessels around my nose and a few brown spots - some from sun damage that appeard after a carribbean trip 2 years ago and then recently a little brown spot that showed up 3 months after my hysterecomy which threw me into menapause.
I see NO DIFFERENCE.. Nothing. Neither from the Titan nor from the IPL treatment. I understand the Titan may take a few weeks for collagen formation but this IPL treatment ?
The combined cost of the IPL and Titan was a hefty $1100 . I cannot afford to do this 5 x Plus, after reading the reports from others who were nice enough to share their experiences - I really don't think the results are going to be THAT dramatic to warrant me spending this kind of money. Goiod Bare Eccential makeup seems to cover up my little sun damage just fine.
The Titan is another consideration but this IPL ??? Doc said brown spots may reappear . Even the HEAT itself may make them reappear. Great - rip off.

Fed To The Dogs
Kim Jong Un reportedly fed his uncle to the dogs.
The former second-in-command of North Korea was stripped naked last month, thrown into a cage, and was then torn apart and eaten by 120 ravenous dogs who had been starved for days.
The report comes from a newspaper with close ties to the ruling Communist Party in China, and American news agencies haven't yet been able to confirm the story.
Kim Jong Un's uncle was found guilty last month of "attempting to overthrow the state."
The official North Korean account didn't say how he was executed.

The other, more galling blackout took place near the end of the season in Buffalo. Not only did the Bills already gorge themselves on taxpayer dollars and refuse that 85% sellout ceiling, but they did so a year after taking $226 million from Erie County and New York State taxpayers to update Ralph Wilson Stadium. It's the second blackout the team has imposed on fans since announcing that deal, with the other taking place while the ink was drying on the agreement.
The NFL isn't a united army of greedy front offices, which the league made clear by offering its optional sellout threshold a few years back and shifting the blame for blackouts to teams and individual owners. But its more vindictive elements are inclined to take fans and sponsors' loyalty for granted.
The league has a long list of deep-pocketed sponsors. It's a stock ticker parade including McDonald's, General Motors, FedEx, Microsoft, Verizon and Visa. It's also a safety net owners know they can rely upon just in case financial conditions or public sentiment turn against them.
They should also realize that nobody's support is unwavering. In December, the Federal Communication's Commission voted to start dismantling its support of television blackouts. It wants to wash its hands of the whole business and let the NFL and its broadcast partners take the blame for pulling games off the air. Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain introduced legislation in May that would prevent the NFL from blacking out home games played in stadiums built with public money. He's received bipartisan support from Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who's also no fan of the current blackout policy.
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, meanwhile, is trying to strip the NFL's status as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. That exemption makes it possible to take a look at commissioner Roger Goodell's $30 million salary, which could buy back quite a few discounted tickets.
All of this should make sponsors and broadcast partners nervous, but it's all nullified by what's still the biggest argument for an NFL deal: There's no bigger game in town. A whopping 34 of the 35 most-watched fall television shows of 2013 were NFL games. The only other show among those 35 was NBC's coverage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which came in at No. 22.

AFACT's appeal against iiNet decision dismissed
Internet service provider iiNet just won its long-running legal battle against the massed forces of Hollywood, but there's some gotchas buried in the High Court decision.
Apr 20, 2012
Internet service provider iiNet just won its long-running legal battle against the massed forces of Hollywood, but there's some gotchas buried in the High Court decision.
The phones must be running hot in Attorney-General Nicola Roxon's and Communication Minister Stephen Conroy's offices this afternoon. Internet service provider iiNet just won its long-running legal battle against the massed forces of Hollywood, but there's some gotchas buried in the High Court decision.
The #iiTrial, officially Roadshow Films & others v iiNet Limited, kicked off in the Federal Court in 2009 when 34 Australian and US film and TV copyright-holders alleged that iiNet was "authorising" (in the technical legal sense) the copyright-infringing actions of its customers by failing to act on the complaints they'd filed. The case was informally called AFACT v iiNet after the industry lobby, the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft.
iiNet enjoyed a comprehensive win in February 2010, and won the Full Federal Court appeal (kinda) in February 2011.
This High Court appeal being unanimously dismissed makes it a three-nil win for the ISP, as the summary of the judgement explains.
"The court observed that iiNet had no direct technical power to prevent its customers from using the BitTorrent system to infringe copyright in the appellants' films. Rather, the extent of iiNet's power to prevent its customers from infringing the appellants' copyright was limited to an indirect power to terminate its contractual relationship with its customers. Further, the court held that the information contained in the AFACT notices, as and when they were served, did not provide iiNet with a reasonable basis for sending warning notices to individual customers containing threats to suspend or terminate those customers' accounts."
But as the court's full decision makes clear in paragraph five, the key question in this appeal, whether iiNet authorised its customers' copyright-infringing acts, "depends upon all the facts of the case". That is, things might have turned out differently had AFACT or iiNet handled things differently. We'll never know.
The court also provides some less-than-subtle hints that the government might wish to have a look at this.
When first enacted in 1968, the Copyright Act ran for around 100 pages. But by 2007 it was more than five times the size, what with changes needed for the US Free Trade Agreement as well as massive technological changes. In paragraph 120:
"The history of the Act since 1968 shows that the Parliament is more responsive to pressures for change to accommodate new circumstances than in the past. Those pressures are best resolved by legislative processes rather than by any extreme exercise in statutory interpretation by judicial decisions."
It's easy to imagine the government listening with sympathy once more to the poor, struggling copyright industries. Only today the PM announced a $12.8 million bribe, sorry, gift to the producers of The Wolverine. That certainly "sends a message", as the phrase goes, no?
More ominously, from the internet industry's point of view, is this from paragraph 79:
"The difficulties of enforcement which such infringements pose for copyright owners have been addressed elsewhere, in constitutional settings different from our own, by specially targeted legislative schemes, some of which incorporate co-operative industry protocols, some of which require judicial involvement in the termination of internet accounts, and some of which provide for the sharing of enforcement costs between ISPs and copyright owners."
We're talking the so-called "graduated response" and "three-strikes" laws such as those already enacted very close to home in New Zealand.
A handful of countries have said such laws are unconstitutional. Internet access is now such a fundamental part of society that access is a human right. Cutting off a household to punish one transgressor is unreasonable. But of course that freedom to communicate human right thing ain't so strongly legislated here in Australia.
As deadline approaches the legal experts are still perusing the decision and discussing it — via Twitter, of course.
"Well, on a first reading, the #iitrial judgment looks like a genuine win, and, as @rgibli predicted, a retreat from the FFC's [Full Federal Court's] views," tweeted Kimberlee Weatherall, associate professor at the University of Sydney's law school.
"The finding that the power to terminate subscribers was indirect only is a retreat from FFC's view that termination could be reasonable," she added.
Peter Black, who teaches internet law at the Queensland University of Technology, agreed. "It does indeed — it is most encouraging. But it also just means that the battle shifts squarely to law reform and the development of an industry protocol," he tweeted.
As the High Court said in paragraph 77:
"The appellants' submission … assumes obligations on the part of an ISP which the Copyright Act does not impose."
So let's just change the Copyright Act, right? Stand by.

What expense do you think an ISP would incur to monitor traffic of a large client base and how much staff would be required to implement it ?
So it would seem that the companies want the ISP to be a policeman of traffic but not contribute to that surveillance . Also I seem to recall some media story that the firm that started the court action was started up purely to perform this action , some brothers from NZ ? Apparently with links to porn companies as well as the the more recognised companies such as tv and movies.
Off topic but curious for an answer about FB . How is that I can link to FB and share something from youtube and it goes on my page without me having signed in to my FB page ? I use Firefox for signing in to FB but I can also share using Safari which doesn,t have my logon details .
I,ve never understood the mandatory filter idea that Conroy was pushing using a list that nobody can obtain . The list itself seems a very vague thing in that a lot of sites are apparently on it that are not in the criminal sphere . Another thing that bothered me was that apparently it needed only one or more complaints to whichever body controls it for a site to be put on the list . So a vexatious person can apply this and the site would be unaware because the list is not for public examination . How did that dentist get on the list ?

The method proposed by Carruci and Meuller in ASME paper 82-WA/PVP-8 is applied to predict the risk of acoustic fatigue due to vibration in pipework downstream of a pressure reducing, blow-down or safety valve.
The calculation method and interpretation includes input and enhancements from several operating companies.
Results display acceptability against limits of sound power and Mach speed in graphic (right, top) and tabular form (right, below).
If sound power limits which could induce acoustic fatigue and failure are exceeded, action to prevent pipe (or valve) vibration is proposed (blue areas in the results table, right).

Weight Loss Options:
Medical Evaluation for Abnormal Weight Gain
Many people gain weight despite eating healthier and getting more physical activity. If you are working hard at losing weight and are not seeing results, you may have a medical problem. We specialize in the medical and hormonal evaluation and treatment of abnormal weight gain and diet-resistant obesity.
Customized Weight Loss Programs
Have a personalized weight loss program designed specifically for your needs.
Phase 1: HMR Decision Free® Program
HMR's premier program for people with 40 pounds or more to lose. Lots of structure and support. No decisions. Rapid weight loss. Medical supervision is provided.
Phase 1: HMR Healthy Solutions® Program
Ideal for anyone who wants to achieve significant weight loss without the need for medical supervision. Structured while providing lots of variety.
Phase 2: Permanent Weight Loss
We offer a comprehensive maintenance and weight management program dedicated to help you develop the skills to keep off the weight you've lost. Our major goal is not simply to help you lose the weight, but to keep it off long term.
How was the HMR Program developed?
The HMR Program was developed by physicians, psychologists, dietitians, and nurses. HMR is the only program that conducts continuous ongoing research based on the results of all of its participants. Our goal is to continually improve the success of our program based on the experience of the people who have been through it.
Why should I choose HMR?
People lose more weight and keep more weight off with HMR® than with any other ongoing weight management program (based on published weight-loss results). That's why HMR is the country's leading provider of medical weight-loss programs, offered by more hospitals and medical centers than any other medical weight-loss program. In addition, HMR has been trusted by physicians and dieters alike for 25 years.
How is HMR different than other weight loss programs?
The HMR Program does not involve fads, gimmicks, or theories about what "might" work. We focus on research-tested strategies and our programs are staffed by trained healthcare professionals. Unlike other companies whose biggest expense is often marketing, HMR invests most of its dollars in developing high-quality programs so that participants can do better. Nearly 80% of people in HMR programs have been referred by dieters who have been through our programs or by medical professionals who trust the quality of our work.
How does the HMR program work?
The goal of the program is to help you incorporate simple lifestyle changes to lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime of better health. Our program diets are highly structured to make it easier for you to lose weight. The program uses HMR foods which are used in place of meals and snacks. Research shows that structured diets using meal replacements are the most successful for weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Trained HMR professionals provide practical support through weekly group sessions and individual phone contact.
What are your success rates?
HMR has the best weight-loss results of any ongoing weight-loss program (based on HMR data published or presented at medical conferences).
Clinic program participants using our Decision Free® Program with medical supervision lose an average of 50–60 pounds. Some people lose over 100 pounds in this program (based on HMR's published results).
Clinic program participants using our Healthy Solutions® Program lose an average of 35–40 pounds. Some dieters lose significantly more.
Do you have a maintenance program?
Yes. HMR is a pioneer in long-term weight maintenance. HMR's approach to weight maintenance produces unparalleled results. HMR's maintenance participants are among the most successful anywhere. Why? Because they begin learning long-term weight control skills on their first day in the program. In fact, HMR has an unusually high percentage of weight-loss participants who continue in the weight-maintenance program because they find it is extremely useful in surmounting day-to-day weight challenges.
Is there published data about the program?
HMR-sponsored research and weight loss data have been published in New England Journal of Medicine, International Journal of Obesity, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Gastroenterology, Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Diabetes Care, Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Annals of Internal Medicine, International Journal of Eating Disorders, Metabolism and Preventative Medicine.

esh's recommendation
One of the best books of all time. Your kids will never forget this one.
My Collections:
Snazzy's recommendation
I asked my oldest son what his favorite book was. I figured he'd name off something like Walter the Farting Dog (bodily functions are highly amusing to a 4 year old boy.. most any age boy really). Instead, he thought for a minute and said "Harold and the Purple Crayon." Good choice, kiddo.. it's one I've always loved as well.
laughingearth's recommendation
This is the first book I usually give to friends' babies. I love it because Harold creates his world with his purple crayon, reminding me that I can also create my world.
StephanieSteinman's recommendation
Inspire little imaginations with this must-have book.

Central Core Disease (CCD)
A rare, nonprogressive myopathy often present at infancy, which is characterized by hypotonia and proximal muscle weakness. In most cases. CCD has been linked to mutations in the RyRI gene encoding the Ca2+ release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Diagnosis is made on the basis of the lack of mitochondria and oxidative enzyme activity in central regions of skeletal muscle cells, observed upon histological examination of muscle biopsies.

There is more to a bird than simply feathers. And just because birds evolved from a single flying ancestor doesn't mean they are structurally all the same. With over 200 stunning drawings depicting an equal number of species, "The Unfeathered Bird" is a richly illustrated book on bird anatomy that offers refreshingly original insights into what goes on beneath the feathered surface. Each exquisite drawing is made from an actual specimen and reproduced in sumptuous large format. The birds are shown in lifelike positions and engaged in behavior typical of the species: an underwater view of the skeleton of a swimming loon, the musculature of a porpoising penguin, and an unfeathered sparrow hawk plucking its prey. Jargon-free and easily accessible to any reader, the lively text relates birds' anatomy to their lifestyle and evolution, examining such questions as why penguins are bigger than auks, whether harrier hawks really have double-jointed legs, and the difference between wing claws and wing spurs. A landmark in popular bird books, "The Unfeathered Bird" is a must for anyone who appreciates birds or bird art.A unique book that bridges art, science, and history Over 200 beautiful drawings, artistically arranged in a sumptuous large-format book Accessible, jargon-free text--the only book on bird anatomy aimed at the general reader Drawings and text all made with direct reference to actual bird specimens Includes most anatomically distinct bird groups Many species never illustrated before

Greenbelt MD (SPX) May 07, 2008
The first cyclone of the 2008 season in the northern Indian Ocean was a devastating one for Myanmar (Burma). According to reports, Cyclone Nargis made landfall with sustained winds of 130 mph and gusts of 150-160 mph, which is the equivalent of a strong Category 3 or minimal Category 4 hurricane. News reports stated that over 100,000 people may have been killed, with tens of thousands more missing as of May 7.
Flood water can be difficult to see in photo-like satellite images, particularly when the water is muddy. This pair of images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite use a combination of visible and infrared light to make floodwaters obvious. Water is blue or nearly black, vegetation is bright green, bare ground is tan, and clouds are white or light blue.
On April 15, rivers and lakes are sharply defined against a backdrop of vegetation and fallow agricultural land. The Irrawaddy River flows south through the left-hand side of the image, splitting into numerous distributaries known as the Mouths of the Irrawaddy. The wetlands near the shore are a deep blue green. Cyclone Nargis came ashore across the Mouths of the Irrawaddy and followed the coastline northeast.
The entire coastal plain is flooded in the May 5 image. The fallow agricultural areas appear to have been especially hard hit. For example, Yangon (population over 4 million) is almost completely surrounded by floods. Several large cities (population 100,000"500,000) are in the affected area. Muddy runoff colors the Gulf of Martaban turquoise.
The high-resolution image provided above is at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides twice-daily images of the region in additional resolutions and formats, including photo-like natural color.

Questions for the July 19, 2000
Psychopharmacological Drugs Advisory Committee
Holiday Inn, 8120 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland
NDA 20-825: Zeldox(ziprasidone hydrochloride capsules, Pfizer)
A. Issues to be considered:
Principles Considered in Regulating QTc Prolonging Drugs
-Indication/Available Treatments
-Observed QTc Effect
-Other evidence suggestive of a serious outcome associated with a drug's QTc effect
-Metabolic Problem
Indication/Available Treatments
-How serious is it?
-How effective are available treatments?
-How many alternative treatments are available?
-How does new treatment compare regarding efficacy?
-How does new treatment compare regarding safety?
Observed QTc Effect
-Absolute size of mean QTc effect in dose range proposed?
-Proportion of outliers on QTc effect?
-having a change from baseline of 75 msec
-going over some threshhold, such as 500 msec
Other Evidence Suggestive of a Serious Outcome Associated with a Drug's QTc Effect
-Excess overall mortality or SUDs
-NDA database
-Other experience
-Actual cases of TDP or other serious arrhythmia
-Excess syncopal episodes
Metabolic Problem
-Vulnerability to increased plasma levels
-In presence of inhibitor
-In subpopulation with compromised metabolic capacity (e.g., 2D6 poor metabolizers)
B: General Questions for Committee
2. Has the sponsor provided evidence that ziprasidone is safe when used in the treatment of schizophrenia?
If the committee responds positively to the 2 general questions, there are some additional questions and issues that we would like you to consider in your discussions.
3. Do you think that ziprasidone's risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias and SUD is greater than that of most other drugs in this class (even if that excess risk cannot be quantified)?
4. If you believe there is some excess risk, albeit unquantified, of serious ventricular arrhythmias and SUD associated with the use of ziprasidone, and you, nevertheless, conclude that ziprasidone should be approved, how should this excess risk be managed in labeling?
-First line vs second line status?
-What prominence should the risk be given in labeling?
-Black box warning
-Lesser warning statement
-Should there be a medication guide for patients to alert them to the risks of using ziprasidone?
5. Should the sponsor be required to conduct additional studies for ziprasidone, and when should these studies be conducted relative to any approval decisions regarding this application?
-Large comparative trial to estimate (or rule out at some level) the risk of excess SUD in association with the use of ziprasidone
-Study to demonstrate superior efficacy for ziprasidone, e.g., in patients demonstrated to be refractory to standard therapy

Women's Issues Articles
Women's issues hilighted through celebrity pop culture including pay inequality, sexism, misogyny, role limitations with age, and other societal issues also present in Hollywood.
Jennifer Lawrence: not a skin and not a prim
Gachie/ AKM-GSI/ Splash News
I'm still thinking about that THR article on Skin vs Prim yesterday. Click here for a refresher. Actresses were classified into two groups: Skins and Prims. The piece failed to point out that for the most part, the Skins are older, while a majority of the Prims they cited are still in what Hollywood has decided is a sweet spot age for actresses: under 30. Full Story
Inside Out with Amy & Mindy
Inside Out was beloved in Cannes. Like unanimously praised. Pixar has made a movie about what it's like to be inside a young girl's head. Pixar has made a movie about mental health. Pixar has made a movie that encourages young people to talk about their feelings. Pixar has a made a movie that stars two women, Amy Poehler and Mindy Kaling. Full Story

Dear Gossips,
Melissa McCarthy's Spy opens this weekend. So far, the reviews are excellent. At post time, Spy is rated 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and is expected to take the box office. That's amazing and it's important. Because finally Melissa McCarthy is in a feature that's deserving of her and also, it's not often that a female comedian gets to lead. And win. Especially when the pressure to win is so much more. Sandler doesn't have to worry that his sh-tty movies will cost him. He gets to keep making them. But, as we know, as we've seen, when a woman carries a movie and it goes down, Hollywood decides it has to take a break.
I laugh every time I see the Spy trailer. And I've seen it several times. I love the way Melissa delivers the "Well that's a confidence builder" line. Even the scooter part is hysterical…because, yes, why does a scooter need a roof? Also, I can't wait to watch her scenes with Rose Byrne who's been impressively showing us so much range the last couple of years.
If Melissa opens at #1 this weekend and Amy Schumer's Trainwreck comes out strong in a few weeks, following the earlier success of Pitch Perfect 2, the message becomes harder and harder to dismiss. Hopefully. One of the gifts of discrimination is its steadfast myopia. This would also describe the Entourage movie.
Have a great weekend!
Yours in gossip,
A Tale of Two Blondes
TIME Magazine has two new interviews up, one with Gwyneth Paltrow and one with Blake Lively, for its new issue about the growing phenomena of actresses with lifestyle businesses.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran broke up 3 months ago, when she found out that another woman had his baby after a one night stand which… really? Like is safe sex extinct now? We couldn't get away from that message when I was a teenager growing up in the 80s and 90s. It's terrifying. Full Story
Britney Ninja Turtle
Jose Perez/ Splash News
Oh look. It's Megan Fox on the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 in New York and you're thinking of Britney Spears. Me, I'm thinking of Michael Bay. And whether or not this is the Michael Bay Women's Team uniform. After all, this is a Michael Bay production. Would Michael Bay ever allow a female actor in one of his movies to wear drop-crotch pants? A baggy tee? Or even an A-line dress? I'm actually surprised Michael Bay would even cast Megan Fox.

So says Paul Feig, the director of the all-female Ghostbusters reboot. In an interview with AlloCine while promoting Spy, Feig said the only way he can see to remake Ghostbusters is to reimagine it with women. I love that he says this, that the only way it makes sense to him is as a female-driven project. Full Story

I read a great article over at Slate this weekend: How Entourage went from critical darling to cultural punching bag. Basically we've changed since Entourage first launched. We've asked for more in the way women are represented, not just in relationship to men, but in the way we ask for better from them. Full Story
Ryan Gosling & Feminist Mad Max
Ryan Gosling was photographed yesterday in Hollywood, apparently on break from shooting The Big Short in New Orleans. He looks really good here. Last time I posted pictures of him he had dark hair (click here for a refresher) and I still haven't washed the bad flavour away yet. Full Story
Rebel Wilson's hella stupid scandal
Wenn, FameFlynet
This week the internet was scandalized when an Australian tabloid ran a story asserting that Rebel Wilson has been lying about her age and background since breaking out in Bridesmaids. Wilson's age of record was 29, and she had at various points claimed to grow up in the "ghetto" with "bogan" (working class) parents. Full Story

Junk Drawer Physics 50 Awesome Experiments That Don't Cost a Thing
Junk Drawer Physics: 50 Awesome Experiments That Don't Cost a Thing by Bobby Mercer
2014 | ISBN: 1613749201 | English | 208 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
A children's instructional book on how to use readily available materials to turn the house into a science lab
Physics teacher Bobby Mercer provides readers with more than 50 great hands-on experiments that can be performed for just pennies, or less. Turn a plastic cup into a pinhole camera using waxed paper, a rubber band, and a thumbtack. Build a swinging wave machine using a series of washers suspended on strings from a yardstick. Or construct your own planetarium from an empty potato chip canister, construction paper, scissors, and a pin. Each project has a materials list, detailed step-by-step instructions with illustrations, and a brief explanation of the scientific principle being demonstrated. Junk Drawer Physics also includes sidebars of fascinating physics facts, such as did you know the Eiffel Tower is six inches taller in summer than in winter because its steel structure expands in the heat? Educators and parents will find this title a handy resource to teach children about physics topics that include magnetism, electricity, force, motion, light, energy, sound, and more, and have fun at the same time.

The Indonesian mezzo-soprano, Suminah Kusuma, was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. After attending secondary school and junior college in Singapore, she enrolled in the faculty of design and environment at the National University of Singapore and graduated with a degree in Real Estate. In childhood, her singing stood out. In the choirs, she had often been entrusted with solo parts. However, her real classical music exposure was first gathered in Reformed Oratorio Society, a vocal ensemble under the direction of conductor Rev. Billy Kristanto.
Since then, having had fallen head over heels in love with classical music, Suminah has sought to train her vocal instrument and improve her musicianship. She started learning singing with Alice Mui, later, with Natalia Kumkova, and has also received musicianship training from Tony Makarome and Hideaki Onishi.
Suminah has been performing as a soloist both before a large and a small audience. Early this year, she was the first prize winner at the ZhongSin Music Competition 2010, vocal group category. Opera in the Park on the 19th June 2010 marks her first engagement with the Singapore Lyric Opera.

Gifts of Real Estate
Property Makes a Valuable Gift
Some alumni and friends are in a position to consider donating real estate to Carnegie Mellon. Even though the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 allows married couples to shield up to $500,000 (and up to $250,000 for an individual) in capital gains when they sell their home, there are still charitable and tax incentives to make this type of gift attractive.
If an individual has an unmortgaged, highly marketable property that he/she would like to donate to the university, there are several ways of completing this gift. (In order to make this complicated transaction easier, we are happy to provide our "Steps for Making a Real Estate Gift Guidelines" upon request.)
Outright Gift of Real Estate
If a donor would like to donate a home to Carnegie Mellon, the property would be deeded to the university and subsequently sold. The donor receives an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of the property. Please note: he/she must agree to pay the appraisal and carrying cost until the property is sold.
Retained Life Tenancy
In this case, ownership of the property is transferred to Carnegie Mellon, but the donor retains the right to use the property for his/her lifetime. Upon the death of the donor, the university will take full possession of the real estate and sell it. Please note: The donor will be asked to bear the cost of the appraisal and upkeep of the property (i.e. real estate tax and maintenance) while he/she is residing in the residence.
A Trust Funded with Real Estate
If a donor would like to deed property to a charitable remainder trust, with the understanding that the property will be sold and the proceeds used to fund the trust, income will be generated for the donor for his/her lifetime. As mentioned above, the donor would be asked to bear the costs of the appraisal and upkeep of the residence until the property was sold. At the death of the donor or beneficiary, the assets in the trust will pass to Carnegie Mellon.
Please contact Christine Tebes to learn more about gifts of real estate.

Oregon wants random drug testing
The University of Oregon is implementing random drug testing of all its athletes, following a media report earlier this year that estimated from 40 to 60 percent of the football team smoked marijuana.
Oregon's previous drug policy allowed for testing when there was reasonable suspicion. A recent decision by the general counsel gives temporary permission for random testing effective this month. The policy still faces a public hearing in early October.
ESPN The Magazine's April report was based on interviews with 19 current or former Oregon players and officials, and it accompanied a larger piece that looks at marijuana use among college football players nationwide.
In July, Oregon's athletic department proposed the changes to strengthen its drug policy.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
The milk should dry up on it's own if the kittens are no longer stimulating her. It can take a few weeks, however, for this to happen. The vet can give her an injection that may help milk production, but unless her glands are very hard to the touch, you are better off letting Mother Nature do things in their own good time. Usually, kittens wean themselves off mom from 6-12 weeks of age, so it's gradual that the milk production lessens. There is a 6 week period where they are eating almost all solid food, and nursing more as a 'snack' or for 'comfort' so the milk supply diminished based on demands made by the kittens. If the kittens left mom before 11 or 12 week of age, you'll need to realize that the entire time frame between the time they actually left and the time she would have naturally dried up has to be covered. She'll do fine with patience.
Let me know if I can help further.

Surprise, b*tch! Emma Roberts is ready for more American Horror Story.
"Hopefully, this season!" Roberts gushed to ET about returning to the series while at PaleyFest for her current series, Scream Queens.
"Last year, it just didn't work out 'cause I was still shooting Scream Queens," Roberts continued. "But now that Scream Queens is shooting [season two] in L.A. and not New Orleans, maybe I'll just have to walk over to the stage and force myself onto the show."
WATCH: Angela Bassett Hints at Her Next American Horror Story Character
When Roberts does make her way to the AHS stage, she hopes to film a showdown with season five (Hotel) star Lady Gaga.
"My dream," the actress beamed. "My dream. Do you hear that? My dream!"
The 25-year-old appeared in seasons three (Coven) and four (Freakshow) of the anthology series, creating iconic -- and meme-worthy -- moments, like this one:
American Horror Story and Scream Queens creator Brad Falchuk revealed at Saturday's Scream Queens panel that Roberts' character on that show, Chanel Oberlin, was very much a continuation of her AHS: Coven character, Madison Montgomery.
WATCH: Keke Palmer Teases Scream Queens, Season Two
As for Chanel's future on Scream Queens, Roberts teased she'll be back and "as bitchy as ever." For more of what you can expect from Chanel, and Roberts' co-stars, in season two, check out the video below.

Living in Wayne County and picking up the Daily Record paper and reading weekly the reports of children being sexually violated by adults is placing the writing on the wall.Wake up Everyone.
If we as a society justify that strip clubs and adult video/novelty shops are healthy and beneficial for America's children and to those women that are also sexually violated, is ludicrous to say the least.
Many of those that visit these establishments cannot control the excitement and self gratification it involves .Sexual offenders are not really monitored at these businesses.The ultimate gratification is to violate someone personally. Just do some research on the affects of porn and you will reach this conclusion also.
As adults we must do whatever it takes to protect our children and allow them the right of living a healthy life.
The commerce these shops supposedly bring really doesn't hold a candle to the hurt and destruction and the economic burden it brings to our local towns and on our judicial system.
Mix alcohol along with this and you have a huge bomb living in your neighborhood.
