ROCKVILLE, Md., May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- EntreMed, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENMD), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company reported a net loss for the first quarter of 2014 of ($1.5 million), or ($0.05) per share, compared with a net loss of ($1.1 million), or ($0.05) per share, for the same period last year. The increase in the net loss for the 2014 period is primarily due to higher costs associated with the Company's research and development operations in China, as well as additional costs related to corporate business development initiatives in 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, EntreMed had cash and cash equivalents of $14.2 million.
Sara B. Capitelli, Vice President, Finance and Principal Accounting Officer, commented, "Our research and development expenses for the first quarter increased over the prior year due to the growth of our China operations including personnel and other clinical development costs of ENMD-2076 in China. Our general and administrative expenses for the first quarter increased over the prior year due to an increase in business development and investor relations activities, in addition to an increase in non-cash stock based compensation expense. As we continue to execute our clinical development plan, we expect operating expenses to increase in 2014 compared with 2013."
Dr. Ken Ren, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our progress with ENMD-2076 as we continue enrollment in our Phase 2 trials in triple-negative breast cancer, advanced/soft tissue sarcoma and advanced clear cell ovarian carcinoma. As we continue to advance ENMD-2076 as our lead program, we will continue to implement our business development strategy to acquire additional drug candidates to expand our pipeline. We remain on track with our plans and finances."
About ENMD-2076
ENMD-2076 is an orally-active, Aurora A/angiogenic kinase inhibitor with a unique kinase selectivity profile and multiple mechanisms of action. ENMD-2076 has been shown to inhibit a distinct profile of angiogenic tyrosine kinase targets in addition to the Aurora A kinase. Aurora kinases are key regulators of mitosis (cell division), and are often over-expressed in human cancers. ENMD-2076 also targets the VEGFR, Flt-3 and FGFR3 kinases, which have been shown to play important roles in the pathology of several cancers. ENMD-2076 has shown promising activity in Phase 1 clinical trials in solid tumor cancers including ovarian, breast, liver, renal and sarcoma, as well as in leukemia and multiple myeloma. EntreMed is completing a Phase 2 trial of ENMD-2076 in ovarian cancer. In addition, EntreMed is conducting a dual-institutional Phase 2 study of ENMD-2076 in triple-negative breast cancer, a Phase 2 study in advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma and a Phase 2 study in advanced ovarian clear cell carcinomas. ENMD-2076 has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of ovarian cancer, multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia.

This week on "Interfaith Voices," we cover -- what else? -- the Vatican crackdown on LCWR, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. It begins with Laurie Goodstein, the veteran national religion correspondent for The New York Times, who lays out the facts of the case.
Then we host a debate. One side is represented by Ann Carey, a conservative Catholic laywoman who supports the Vatican. Back in 1997, she published a book called Sisters in Crisis: the Tragic Unraveling of Women's Religious Communities.
Supporting the nuns is Mary Hunt, a feminist theologian and a co-founder and co-director of WATER, the Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual.
Two things struck me as the debate moved along. First, unlike much of our public "discourse" in the political arena, this debate was civil, respectful and even humorous at times.
Second, underneath the two viewpoints are two radically different visions of church, of Catholicism, of contemporary religious life. Ann uses a "corporate model" to describe what CEOs in business -- or church -- need to do when dissent is afoot, for example, move in to stop it. Mary uses a "co-op" model where dialogue is the norm and says this LCWR "moment" may be a tipping point toward a "lay-led" church.
And yes, as you can imagine, I had a hard time remaining the "neutral" interviewer. But I tried my best. This is public radio, after all.
So, if this story grabs you, tune in at interfaithradio.org.

7 Things To Remember Before A First Date
A friend of mine has been dabbling in online dating, or, as he put it, "swimming in vag." The availability of women combined with his usual tech guy internet habit has blown his, uh, mind, thus far. Although there are certainly enough ladies to go around, that didn't stop this dapper dude from getting nervous and going a little overboard in his prep for a first date. The instrument of destruction: clippers.
Before picking her up, he wanted to trim the hedges. Unfortunately, he used the wrong side buzzer. Fortunately (?), he started out with his arm hair. Basically, my metro friend mowed a row down. And you know, he didn't want to have a "fade" on his arm, so he had to do the whole dang thing, including the other appendage. On the date, he opted to ignore the (hairless) elephant in the room and didn't mention his noticeably bald arms to his companion, making sure to keep his sleeves down all night.
But his story moved me, since I myself had a Tweezer-meets-eyebrow accident while primping for a date once. (Luckily, he was into the chola look.) My hairless buddy wanted to share this story to help the other men out there — hopefully his story will inspire you to forgo the buzzer — and these other no-nos before you go on a hot date. Whatever your getting-ready ritual is, you best heed these, because no amount of candlelight will save you!
- Bring Casholla: Spare yourself the embarrassment of having to ask your date to pony up dough for both of you. Then you'll really owe her, not that she'll want to cash in! Either make sure the place takes credit or swing by the ATM. Oh yeah, and don't forget your wallet!
- Stay Sober: It's tempting when you've got the first date butterflies to start drinking to relax before you meet up. It's just a date; you're gonna survive, especially if you have your wits about you, so don't get drunk!
- Remember Your Cell Phone: Don't pick it up while you're together or you might wind up here! Bring it just in case there are some meeting-up issues … or if you need an out.
- One Spritz: That's your limit. When it comes to cologne, perfume, aftershave, body spray, anything with a scent, go easy. Your natural eau de you will attract the right people.
- Resist That Bean Burrito: Or whatever your recipe for farts is. Seriously, like your mom kept you out of the swimming pool for a half hour after eating, these kinds of foods will keep you out of the dating pool if you let 'em rip within the first few first date minutes.
- Button Up: Like the advice I gave my freshly mowed friend, don't show too much skin, or, frankly, too little. Hint at and tease with your assets. But if you're already putting them all out there, where are you gonna take things?
- Breathe Easy: Don't forget breath mints, if you want them to ask you questions, or hey, even seal your date with a kiss.

This book seeks to provide a guided examination of what unites and divides the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic communities. With over 25 years of experience teaching in the subject area, Dr. Fritz Wenisch begins to unravel this complex and often contentious topic by first discussing the legal injunctions applying to religious studies courses at secular U.S. universities. He investigates the type of monotheism each religion shares before providing an in-depth overview of each religion, one by one. An emphasis is placed on the specific teachings of each religion, with consideration given to their practices and their historical development.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: Differences, Commonalities, and Community argues that the hostility between the three religions is misplaced. The argument is grounded on the existence of a shared belief in the same one and only God and reverently looking back to Abraham, as well as the fact that disagreements do not result from ill will, but from alternative convictions held in good faith. Listeners will learn that tolerance, while a start, does not suffice; rather, that shared basic beliefs should give rise to mutual appreciation, leading to genuine friendship.

Not to worry, people. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare Part D got through "technical glitches, political hostility and gloom-and-doom denouncements." So will Obamacare.
That's the Christmas love letter delivered to the left by Tom Raum of the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, late this morning. Raum "somehow" failed to note that the size and scope of Obamacare's screw-ups, errors, and from all appearances deliberate omissions (e.g., no system for paying subsidies to insurers after a 42-month head start) dwarf that seen in any previous major rollout. Though other programs had their share of broken promises (e.g., Walter Williams ran down Social Security's original lies in a November column), no program has been handicapped by anything near the equivalent of the President's false guarantee ("if you like your insurance plan-doctor-medical provider, you can keep your insurance plan-doctor-medical provider"). Of course, Raum didn't mention that bitter reality. Excerpts from Raum's report follow the jump (bolds are mine):
Although multiple problems have snarled the rollout of President Barack Obama's signature health care law, it's hardly the first time a new, sprawling government program has been beset by early technical glitches, political hostility and gloom-and-doom denouncements.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt faced heavy skepticism with his launch of Social Security in 1935-37. Turbulence also rocked subsequent key presidential initiatives, including Lyndon Johnson's rollout of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, Richard Nixon's Supplemental Security Income program in 1974 and George W. Bush's Medicare prescription drugs program in 2006.
Yet these programs today are enormously popular with recipients.
... After FDR kicked off Social Security in 1937, Washington's pre-computer age bureaucrats faced enormous hurdles enrolling people for the old-age benefits. Many had the same or similar names. Not all employers kept detailed records on employees and how much they were paid, further complicating the process.
True, but the number of Americans aged 65 and over at the time the Social Security Act was passed in 1937 was about 6 million (many if not most were not eligible for benefits), and it wasn't until January 1940 that it cuts its first check to a recipient.
Medicare and Medicaid, too, encountered early difficulties. For example, Johnson had to overcome resistance in some southern states to including African-Americans in the coverage.
Nixon's steps to overhaul U.S. welfare programs with the Supplemental Security Income program drew heated, early public opposition. Many states were reluctant participants. And by 1976 only about half of potential recipients were signed up. Today, the program covers more than 8 million Americans.
I don't mean to be impolite, Mr. Raum, but I feel compelled to point out that Social Security and Medicare have combined actuarial liabilities of over $50 trillion dollars ($26.5 trillion in Social Security and $27.6 trillion in Medicare).
Excuse me if I suggest that, with these two programs in the process of breaking the country's financial back, we could do without a third which would make the first two look like child's play.
Raum forgot about another "gloom-and-doom" prediction, namely that the 1996 welfare reform law would throw thousands or even millions of Americans into the gutter. It didn't happen. Instead, the millions of former welfare recipients who went out and got jobs contributed mightily to the economic prosperity of the late-1990s.
Similarly, the world won't end if Obamacare doesn't survive. We won't see the current net reduction in the number of Americans who have health insurance. We won't see people denied access to doctors and medical providers they have been seeing only because of geographic limitations; some of them are in life-threatening situations, and may die if things don't change. In fact, there's a good chance that the demise of Obamacare would be good for the economy.

Oregonian reporter Grant Butler has just begun his third week as a vegan. and it's all going swimmingly:
The Going Vegan project is now in its third week, and I'm starting to experience some physical results from changing to a plant-based diet. I've dropped six pounds without changing my exercise regimen (primarily commuting to work on foot), and my clothes are fitting more loosely. My energy level is flying high, and I find I'm needing fewer mid-day coffee pick-me-ups. And I'm sleeping better than in recent months, which is possibly related to the transition.
In the kitchen, I'm more excited by the cooking prospects than ever. I've made some wonderfully delicious dishes in the first few weeks of vegan cooking: a rich cassoulet; curried tofu with brown basmati rice; tangy pasta salad; even a fun Valentine's-themed veggie pizza. All of those flavors are warding off cravings. And I'm picking up some tricks from the Portland vegan restaurants I've been trying that should push the adventurous cooking even further.
Like most other people making a successful transition, it seems that Butler's finding it easier with each passing week. Soon enough, being vegan will be second nature to him.

text: Posted March 3, 2012 · Report post So about a week and a half ago I got a skin colored bump in the corner of my mouth. If I recall right, it wasn't long after I had shaved. It stayed for about 3 days and didn't change in the slightest, and one day I made the mistake of picking at it some without realizing it. This turned it reddish, and in the few days after that up to now it's gotten a bit worse and more noticeable each day. At this point it looks almost like a pimple, and looks like it might have a very tiny head on it, but I can't tell for sure. Does anybody know what I can do about this? It's hard to tell because of the picture's lighting, but it's much more red than the rest of my skin and is pretty obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Anthony Cross
Whether you know it or not, the stresses of everyday life might be blocking your overall health and wellness. If you are looking to improve your quality of life, start with the body and brain. At Body and Brain Holistic Wellness, instructor and owner Fatima Bustos-Choy is dedicated to bringing her members health, happiness and peace in their lives through ancient yoga — Dahn Yoga, meaning the study of energy. Which is exactly what you feel when you walk in her door.
Before becoming an instructor and owner, Fatima herself was a student of Body and Brain. After seeing positive results, she left a thirty-year corporate career behind to pursue a life of helping and healing others.
"There is nothing like this; the system of integrating the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of who we are is the heart of this work. The work benefits people of all ages and walks of life," Fatima says.
The program was created by South Korean born llchi Lee when he went soul searching to find the answer to, "Who am I?" He discovered all human energy and minds are connected with the entire universe. The program is based on ancient East Asian teachings combined with modern day science brain based research. It has integrated Eastern and Western teachings, looking at the individual holistically and not just physically.
This program consists of deep stretching and something I had never heard of, Brain Wave Vibration.
"My experience at Body and Brain has been so much more than I anticipated. I originally signed up to get in shape and lose weight…. I have lost weight, but found so much more… I have become more focused, calm, forgiving (to others and to myself) and more spiritual. I am now addicted and try to come to class everyday," says Chantal Mariotti, member and Principal of Executive HR Consulting Group.
While doing a few stretches with Fatima, she explained to me how most people initially come to her for physical comfort, wanting to lose weight or release stress in the body. But something happens when they start the training.
"The energy channels start to open in their bodies and they feel stronger and more flexible. They start to break down the emotional barriers they didn't realize they had," Fatima says.
One of Fatima's members, Greg Gharibian — owner of restaurant Café Elegante — came to her for a different reason.
"I couldn't sleep. At nights when I tried to sleep, everything came to my mind. If I had a party at the restaurant the next day, I would think about it until it was over — things were always on my mind," Greg says.
I asked Greg what it was about Fatima's class that has helped him sleep.
"I use the techniques and exercises; I don't think — I just concentrate and let go," Greg says.
I witnessed first hand the effects Fatima and her Body and Brain Holistic Wellness Center is having on her members. She is changing and healing one life at a time. So if you feel that it's time for a change, make the connection and go down to see her. Once you walk in her door for the first time, you're opening one forever.
The Body and Brain Holistic Wellness Center is located at 1054 W. Alameda Ave. For more information on classes, call (818) 846-8888.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Lactose Tolerance (Blood) Does this test have any other names? Lactose tolerance serum test What is this test? This is a test to see whether your body is able to break down lactose. Lactose is a type of sugar found in milk, cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products. Lactase, an enzyme in your stomach, breaks down lactose into two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. Within 2 hours of eating, your blood glucose level should rise. This blood test measures the increase. Why do I need this test? You may have this test if you have symptoms of lactose intolerance. Symptoms include: Gas Stomach cramps Bloating Diarrhea, especially after you eat or drink milk and other dairy products such as ice cream and cheese Lactose intolerance is more common in people of certain ethnic backgrounds. These include African, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, and Asian. You also might have this test if you have an intestinal problem like inflammatory bowel disease or a malabsorption syndrome like short gut syndrome. Infants who are not gaining enough weight may also have this test. What other tests might I have along with this test? You may also have a lactose hydrogen breath test, another way to measure your body's ability to break down lactose. This test measures the amount of hydrogen in your breath. If you are unable to digest lactose, your breath will have a high amount of hydrogen. If this test is for your child, he or she may have stool tested for acidity. A child may have glucose in his or her stool because of undigested lactose. You may also have a glucose tolerance test. Glucose tolerance is used to diagnose diabetes. When you have diabetes, either your pancreas does not make enough of the hormone insulin to break down sugar, or the cells in your body that use insulin become more resistant to it. What do my test results mean? Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider. If your glucose levels increase to greater than 20 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) after drinking the lactose, you likely don't have lactose intolerance or a problem with absorption. If your glucose levels don't rise after drinking the lactose, you may be lactose intolerant or have a problem with absorption. How is this test done? This test requires 4 blood samples, which are drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm. Your healthcare provider will take the first sample before you drink a dose of lactose, usually 100 grams of lactose diluted in 200 milliliters of water. The other blood samples are taken at 3 intervals after you drink the lactose – at 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours. Does this test pose any risks? Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore. What might affect my test results? Your results might be affected if you: Exercise strenuously before testing Eat or drink before testing Have diabetes Smoke Take antibiotics within 1 month of your test Have a malabsorption syndrome How do I get ready for this test? This test requires an 8-hour fast. Don't smoke or exercise for at least 8 hours before you have this test. Don't take antibiotics for 1 month before this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

When the Raptors meet in October to begin prepping for their season, no question outside of the ubiquitous Chris Bosh variety will be as pertinent to this team's fortunes out of the gate.
If DeRozan can step right in at age 20 and replace the departed Anthony Parker at shooting guard, the effect could be electrifying. Parker was a solid but unspectacular presence. DeRozan, a 6-foot-7 high-flyer from Southern Cal, is the kind of athletic, above-the-rim project that hasn't been brought in around here since the 1998 draft and Vince Carter.
But the gap between starting at USC and in the NBA is huge. If DeRozan can settle in and contribute in the way Orlando's Courtney Lee did for the Magic last year – starting and not looking out of place on a winning team – it will be an acceptable opening to his NBA career. The DeRozan-Hedo Turkoglu wing combo, at the very least, figures to show some improvement, and perhaps more than just some, over last year's opening-day starters Parker and Jamario Moon.
At midsummer, there is one hole remaining, at backup small forward. The remainder of the Raptors' question marks are pretty much lower case. Andrea Bargnani needs to adjust to more minutes and a starting centre role, even if it will be of the face-the-basket variety of big-man approaches to which he's most suited. Newcomers Jarrett Jack, Antoine Wright and Reggie Evans are an upgrade to the bench, returning some of the spine and grittiness that departed along with Jorge Garbajosa last year.
The outlook at this early point could best be described as cautiously optimistic: better than last year, it would surely seem, with depth and toughness having been addressed.
But ready to mix with the top half of the conference? No one's going that far.

Your cat does not realize that it is a cat. After years and years of domestication your cat has forgotten that it is a predator. A cat no longer has to rely on its hunting and stealth abilities to acquire food, now they just wait for the sound of a can opener or the click of an automatic feeder. When a cat comes across a cute little bird it sees a new friend and not a yummy snack.

Pools will be closed due to annual cleaning and maintenance in the coming weeks: Please stop by the front desk for dates.
By: AMFC Staff
This same time last year, Kris Jones was busy with work and home life and his pass-time, riding and working on motorcycles. He was busy, but not working out or particularly fit. And he sure wasn't planning on taking off to hike up some 14,000 foot mountain.
Enter Nick, Kris's older brother. Nick's goal was to scale Mount Rainier. At 14,410 feet, it's the highest peak in the lower 48 and the most glaciated, serving up some of the most fickle weather in any season. Many climbers are turned back, even in the middle of July, due to potentially deadly atmospheric conditions. That's what happened to Nick; thus, his first attempt did not result in scaling the summit.
Undeterred, he roped his little brother Kris into trying it with him the next time. So in October, 2012, Kris started putting time into getting in shape. By December, he wanted to really get serious about his training and joined Avera McKennan Fitness Center. He was happy to find 30 degree angle treadmills here and he needed the Stairmaster for training too. He especially appreciated Jill's help on the Fitness Floor to adapt his regimen – patterned after Mount McKinley climb training -here at the Center. He loaded up a backpack to wear during his stair climbs in order to work his way up to climbing with a 55lb pack.
By the time this July rolled around, Kris was ready for the challenge. Along with his brother, 6 other climbers and 4 guides from International Mountain Guides, he embarked on the 3 ½ day climb to the summit and back. The climbers were from various parts of the country, but ironically, he met John Snyders, of 605 Magazine who is also from Sioux Falls and a member at AMFC. Everyone in their group made it to the top, although that doesn't always happen. One of their 4 guides, who by now has summited Mt. Rainier dozens of times, first made 5 attempts before finally reaching the summit."It's a real eye opener", says Kris, there's no way to describe the feeling when you get to the top, and it just changes your perspective on everything.
In one year, Kris has transformed himself from a non-exerciser to an in-shape, high-endurance, bicycling-everywhere, mountain-climbing enthusiast. Marne Schelling, AMFC Personal Trainer, recommended Kris for the member spotlight because she so admires his determination, discipline and dramatic change over just 6 or 7 months time as a member.
In another couple of months, Kris will rev up his workout regimen again in preparation for next year's climb with brother Nick up an old volcano in Mexico or Ecuador. He encourages anyone who's willing to put the time into training to go for the mountain of their choice; "It's so worth it!"

coadgbursary :: the 2015 shortlist
Katie | November 20, 2014
We have a shortlist! A massive thank you to everyone who applied – we had more applications than ever before and the standard was really impressive! The hard work that had gone into each an every application was evident, so thank you for all the time you all put in. It was a real pleasure reviewing them all, but when it came to decision time – it was really hard! Despite incredibly high quality across the board, in the end the panel felt that there were four applications that really shone out, so this year we've created a shortlist of four new designers. Without further ado and in no particular order, the 2015 confessions of a design geek bursary shortlist is…
Alicja Patanowska
Alicja's Plantation collection is made using discarded glassware she finds on the streets of London in the early hours of the morning, combined with hand thrown porcelain. "These unique ceramic components are suitable for growing plants and when turned upside down can be used as a mini greenhouse ideal during seed germination," she said. "This product allows the consumer the opportunity to reinvent the function of an ordinary glass vessel and give it a new context and purpose." A really unusual product taking upcycling to a whole new level. More info about Alicja >>>
Above & Beyond
Claudia Pape's new design brand Above & Beyond produces simple graphic homewares. Two plates and a placement combine to make a clock face, a simple black line connects adjoining white pillow cases and a creased stripey sheet becomes a tea-towel and art print. Her work is understated and concept-driven. "There always is a reason behind what I do, that makes the result stand out. Being shortlisted would be an amazing opportunity to launch Above and Beyond at Home London," said Claudia. More info about Above & Beyond >>>
Mind The Cork
Mind The Cork's Jenny Espirito Santo hand makes her collection of placemats, coasters and cushions from sustainable Portuguese cork. "I have always had a strong sense that environmental protection should be an integral part of everyday life and I wanted to create beautifully crafted and luxurious homeware that also plays an active role in the protection of the environment, because our homes should be filled with things that are both meaningful and gorgeous," said Jenny. A sustainable material used in a new way. More info about Mind The Cork >>>
Jacqueline Seifert
Brighton based illustrator and designer Jacqueline Seifert's collection of wallpaper was inspired by her time in Kerala India. She said, "As a collector of visual details, I am inspired by the shapes, scenes, colours and imagery taken from my everyday experiences, through landscapes both familiar and exotic." A bold collection of colourful wallpaper. More info about Jacqueline >>>
Congratulations to all the shortlisted designers! Now it's over to you to decide who wins. The winner will receive a bursary that includes a complimentary stand at Home London, their products stocked at the Southbank Centre Shop, the chance to take part in a one week pop-up shop at West Elm, a studio shoot with Yeshen Venema, a film shoot with R&A Collaborations, monthly mentoring for one year with established artist and designer and founder of HAM, Jo Ham, one hour mentoring sessions with: October Communications' Daniel Nelson, Decorum's Justyna Sowa, Mini Moderns' Keith Stephenson and Mark Hampshire, The Design Trust's Patricia van den Akker, Seen PR's David Gorrod, The Southbank Centre's Adam Thow, and West Elm's Vanessa Holden, one year's free membership of The Design Trust Business Club, six months' free membership of Press Loft, the chance to take part in a pre-show mentoring workshop, business cards and postcards from Goodprint, last year's winner, Fanny Shorter, as a "buddy" and coverage on Home London, confessions of a design geek and Front + Main, the West Elm blog.
So what are you waiting for? Vote for your favourite new designer now! Voting is open until 23.59 on Tuesday 02 December and the winner will be formally announced on Thursday 04 December. Spread the word on social media using #coadgbursary.

Comments about Michaels for Espresso Wedding Invitation Card:
Product Comments: Overall I loved the end product and options. The design software could be a bit tricky to use and didn't always format the way I wanted, but with a little bit of trial and error I was able to correct it. If you are used to high end software for similar projects you will be disappointed, but if you are creative and have used online design software programs in the past you should be set. Overall I was happily surprised with the quality of the end product, even the envelopes! I was even more happy with the price of these wedding invitations!

Hendon survived a late scare to complete a 20-15 home win over West London in Herts Middlesex League One.
The hosts started the contest strongly and used the slope to their advantage.
Hendon were camped in the West London half for the first 15 minutes before making the breakthrough when Lee Linale fired over a penalty.
From the restart, the visitors went on the attack and following a sustained period of pressure on the Hendon backline, they made a breakthrough and scored the first try of the afternoon.
However, the home side quickly reacted and Michael Blake thought he had touched down only for the referee to adjudge that the ball had been held up.
From the scrum, Hendon pushed their visitors back over the line and captain Brian O'Regan managed to force his way over. Linale added the extras and shortly before the break fired over a penalty to put Hendon 13-7 up at the interval.
Chris Byrne was sin-binned early into the second period and it allowed West London to capitalise and score a penalty to reduce the deficit.
With Byrne back on the pitch, Hendon were able to go over for the second time.
From a ruck, scrum-half John McCarthy passed out to full-back Tom Mathias, who broke through to score. Linale converted the try to put Hendon 20-10 ahead. West London went on the attack and crossed the line five minutes from time. However, Hendon saw out the game to record a well-earned four league points.

Our Vision: Empowering effective people decisions at work
Our Mission: To provide innovative, cloud-based HR tools to inform effective people decisions.
Revelian is the people analytics company. The 'people' are employees, jobseekers, leaders, teams and peers who are in work or are seeking to be. The 'analytics' is the output of each assessment we administer and interpret – aptitude, culture fit, personality, emotional intelligence, skills, resilience, role fit, engagement, behaviour and propensity for risk.
When combined, people + analytics means that Revelian has unique, data-driven insight into human behaviour at work. And when we share this insight with our clients, we give them powerful understanding to make effective people decisions.
Why Revelian?
Organisations and government departments across Australia and internationally, trust Revelian to enable them to make more effective people decisions, such as:
- Who to hire
- Who to promote
- How to identify the skills and talent currently existing in their business
- How to manage their existing employees
- How to work together as a stronger team
- Who their future leaders are
This results in:
- Better productivity

We provide human insight and guidance to some of Australia's most well-regarded employers
We've assessed more than 200,000 people around the world in the last 12 months
Our assessments are developed, reviewed and interpreted by experienced registered psychologists
But our reports are straightforward and easy for any people manager to understand.
We've been around for more than 15 years
In fact, you may be familiar with our previous name, Onetest.
We're constantly innovating
We were the first to market in Australia with un-proctored online testing, and the first to market with games-based cognitive assessment.
We're quality assured and have a strong data security focus
We're the only provider with a 12 month testing policy
This means people cannot sit the same assessment more than once in 12 months – so they can't 'practice'. This produces more robust results.
We provide 7-day support to customers and test-takers alike – from Australia
We provide measurable, useful insights… not just theory

Prospectus Hit and Run
The National Nightmare
The Nationals were down to their final out on Tuesday against the Mariners, trailing 5-1, before a string of four straight hits, capped by Wilson Ramos' three-run homer, carried them to their ninth win in 10 games. Ramos' 432-foot walkoff shot didn't lift the Nats to .500, but Wednesday night's win did, giving the team their best mark (37-37) at this point in any season since 2005. Ramos, a 23-year-old catcher acquired from Minnesota for Matt Capps, is among a handful of youngsters showing signs that they can be cornerstones of the franchise's next winning team. The long Nationals nightmare may finally be over.
The Nationals came into 2011 forecast to win 71 games, a modest two-win improvement over last year, and one that would mark the franchise's first 70-win campaign since 2007. Ranked 13th in the league in scoring (4.00 runs per game) and 10th in True Average (.245)—all stats through Tuesday—the team has outdone itself more in spite of its offense than because of it. The good news is that the hemorrhaging may have stopped; while six of the team's 13 most-used hitters are at least 30 points of True Average off their PECOTA projections, suggesting significant regression is in store, the least-effective ones figure to receive a much smaller share of the playing time going forward:
LaRoche just underwent season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum; his departure has created space for the surprising duo of Nix and Morse—the latter of whom has 13 homers, tied with the rookie Espinosa for the team lead—to both play regularly instead of sharing time in left field. Hairston and Cora are back in reserve roles after two months of overexposure while filling in for Zimmerman, who returned from abdominal surgery last week. Bernadina has wrested the center-field job from Ankiel, who just hit the disabled list for the second time. Ramos is receiving an increasingly higher share of reps behind the plate while Rodriguez moves into a mentor role.
The Nationals' positive run differential (+8) owes more to their pitching and defense than it does offense. Projected by PECOTA to rank 13th in the league in run prevention, they're instead fifth at 3.89 runs per game. They're not exactly blowing anyone away; the staff ranks second-to-last in strikeout rate (6.4 per nine), but sixth in unintentional walk rate (2.9 per nine) and fifth in home-run rate (0.8 per nine). They've gotten especially good work afield thanks to the keystone combo of Desmond and Espinosa, ranking third in Defensive Efficiency (.704), but their pitcher-friendly stadium has also helped, particularly in keeping the ball in the park; they have the fifth-lowest rate of home runs per fly ball.
The rotation is the most improved, which has kept the Nats in games far more often than not. A year ago, even with phenom Stephen Strasburg taking 12 mostly outstanding turns, the team recorded quality starts a league-low 43 percent of the time. This year they're at 58 percent, seventh in the league. Likewise, they've improved from 14th to seventh in ERA (4.61 to 3.88), and from 15th to seventh in innings per start (5.5 to 6.0), lessening the burden on a bullpen that has used the strong work of set-up men Tyler Clippard and Todd Coffey, as well as closer Drew Storen, to rank fourth in the league in ERA.
The top starter thus far has been Jordan Zimmermann, a second-round pick in 2007; he has posted a 3.08 ERA in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery. The 25-year-old righty isn't a dominating Strasburg type, but despite a middling strikeout rate, he's fourth in the league in home-run rate (0.4 per nine), seventh in walk rate (1.8 per nine), and 10th in K/BB ratio (3.5), and only Cole Hamels, Jair Jurrjens, and Roy Halladay have topped his 79 percent rate of quality starts. Jason Marquis has rebounded from injuries and survived a .323 BABIP to follow a similar low-walks, low-homers, low-strikeout recipe, and to some degree, so have John Lannan and Livan Hernandez. Now 36, the latter clearly has an affinity for the Nationals' red, white, and blue; in parts of seven seasons with Washington, his ERA is 3.92, compared to 4.69 elsewhere.
The starting five is rounded out by Tom Gorzelanny, the only starter whose ERA is worse than 4.00. The rotation doesn't figure to maintain its tidy performance, at least as far as PECOTA or SIERA are concerned. The weighted mean PECOTA forecast for the current starting five is an ugly 4.78; by WARP, they ranked second-to-last in our pre-season rankings. As for their collective 4.33 Skill-Interactive ERA, their strikeout, walk, fly-ball, and ground-ball rates again suggest tougher days ahead.
The irony of the Nationals' recent success is that it has nothing to do with the trio that has dominated the team's headlines over the past 24 months, namely Strasburg (not due back from Tommy John surgery until 2012), 2010 overall first pick Bryce Harper (raking in A-ball but not slated for a callup this year), and marquee free agent Werth, whose June (.164/.307/.311) has been his worst month to date. Those players will likely be key parts of the next winning Nationals team, and the good news is that youngsters like Ramos and Espinosa, and late-bloomers like Morse and Bernadina, are playing their way into the picture as well. They're no threatto make the playoffs, but the end of the Nationals' long nightmare is in sight.

He resigns over that?!? There's got to be more to it... . Maybe they promised him something or are blaming him for their right fielder problem.

Riggleman is saying on local radio that he was frustrated that Rizzo would not even discuss the option matter, after repeated requests. Even so, what does he gain by this? If he hates the environment there so much, why would he want his option picked up? Odd.

NORMAN DE BONO, QMI Agency
TALBOTVILLE, Ont. - It started early.
More than 600 workers left their homes before 6 a.m., driving to Ford's St. Thomas assembly plant.
Some stopped for breakfast at The Flying M next door-- a tradition.
They began this last day Thursday as they had so many before it -- with diner food and coffee, lots of coffee.
Then they filed into the plant on Hwy. 4 before the shift started at 7 a.m., only a few hours left in its last day.
Some were scheduled to work, others were retirees who came for the last day. And others who were not supposed to work showed up anyway, just to see some history and say goodbye.
"I felt funny yesterday when I left work, but I just went home and when I came back today I thought 'Oh my God, this is really the end', " said Denise Knutson, who worked in the paint shop for 11 years.
"I wanted to see for myself that there are no more cars. It was very emotional."
The assembly line needed only about 300 workers on this, its last day, but more than double that were on site watching the final white Crown Victoria roll down the line, ending at about 11:30 a.m.
"I saw my boss of 11 years crying, a full-grown man crying. The paint manager was crying. They were not ready to go. They are sad, because everyone takes pride in their work. We were like a family here."
Many of the workers signed the frame and underbody of the last car, although it will not be apparent to whomever buys it.
Then many headed to bars and restaurants in the area for their version of a wake.
"I got up at 5 a.m., had a quick coffee and was out the door, just like I used to everyday," said Fred Martellotti, who worked at the plant 30 years before retiring in 2007.
"My old supervisor shook my hand and was crying. It is a sad, empty feeling, to see the plant so empty. There no other cars, no one in other areas. I have never seen that before. It was a sick feeling. It was eery, like a ghost town."
Martellotti and Knutson were among a group of friends who gathered at the Wayside Inn in Talbotville after production ended.
"The first time I walked in I thought it was massive, a huge plant, and it was so clean," said Rick Hamm, who has 43 years' seniority, beginning work three weeks after the plant opened.
"There have been a lot of changes -- robots and technology -- that made it easier. I remember when in the body shop they used to have to sand by hand -- that was a tough job. But I have met a lot of men and women who are wonderful people, such good friends and a good work environment. I always liked coming to work, doing my job."
Since Aug. 31, cars made at the plant had to be shipped overseas because they didn't comply with new crash standards for sale in North America for the 2012 model year.
And that last car is headed to the Middle East, the workers said.
Outside the plant, standing in the parking lot in the early morning rain, Simon Jacco lifted his small camera to take a photograph of the workers' entrance to the plant, the entrance he walked through for 37 years.
"It is sad, very sad," said Jacco, who retired in 2007. "I just wanted to be here for the last time. This place paid my bills, put my kids through college. It was great. I feel lucky I was here, but I feel for these guys who are out of work. They have a good package, but they do not have a job."
Ford of Canada St. Thomas assembly plant:
* Opened Dec. 16, 1967
* Closed Sept. 15, 2011
* Eight million cars, 16,000 workers passed through its gates
* First car off the line: Ford
* Last car off the line: Crown

Hydrosalpinx is the buildup of a clear, watery fluid in a fallopian
tube, usually at the end closest to the ovary. This condition can make it
difficult for a woman to become pregnant (infertility).
Surgical removal of the part of the fallopian tube that generates
the fluid (salpingectomy) may improve fertility. Less frequently, a new opening
in the part of the tube closest to the ovary may be surgically created

Perfect hideaways in the Southwest to get away from it all
Secluded amid sculptural rose-and-gold sandstone cliffs above the Ojo Caliente River Valley, Rancho de San Juan is a hideaway of the first order. Whether sitting on your private patio viewing the desert expanse bordered by silhouettes of the mesa familiar from Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings, or just roaming the grounds, it's almost impossible to separate the adobe structure from its earthy surroundings.
The inn borrows and blends the best of Latino and Native American cultures in luxurious accommodations. Gleaming wood and imported tiles, handmade pottery and tinwork, and the glow from the fireplace conspire to create a particular magic. A respite in the flower-filled courtyard, with the sound of water flowing from the fountain, is sure to soothe and refresh the weary soul.
Highly acclaimed for its four-course, fixed-price dinners and wine list, the rancho's dining room has a nightly changing menu that highlights local seasonal ingredients with European and Southwest flavors. The location, despite its feeling of grand isolation, is another plus: Santa Fe is only 45 minutes to the south; Ojo Caliente Hot Springs a half-hour to the north; and hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and sightseeing opportunities are close by.
ESSENTIALS: Six rooms plus 11 suites (10 in private casitas with jetted tubs) with fireplaces. From $185. Ten miles north of Espanola off U.S. 285; (505) 753-6818 or www.ranchodesanjuan.com. Dining room: dinner.

GARLAND'S OAK CREEK LODGE, Sedona, AZ
Despite the allure of the town, many guests at Garland's Oak Creek Lodge never set foot off the property during their entire stay. It's not that Garland's offers a compelling list of activities. Rather, guests come simply to soak up magnificent views, enjoy great food, and do ... nothing.
The lodge, an old homestead that the Garland family has been running as an inn since 1972, sits along the banks of Oak Creek. Towering rust-hued canyon walls provide a backdrop for the property's wood-and-stone cabins, which dot a manicured lawn. Oaks and sycamores, interspersed with fruit trees, provide shade and color.
The cabins are simple, decorated with handmade furniture, quilts, and braided rugs. Balconies and patios invite lingering; chaises scattered strategically on the grass suggest naps.
An outdoor cocktail hour allows guests to catch the last rays of light in the canyon, then it's into the main building to sample an ever-changing menu - herb-crusted salmon, perhaps, or rack of lamb, followed by a rich dessert - much of it made with ingredients from the lodge's orchard and organic garden. Though there's no lunch served, breakfast - such as local trout and corn fritters - can get you through to teatime.
The lodge does have a clay tennis court and a croquet lawn, plus access to nearby hiking trails and a swimming hole, but, admits owner Mary Garland, "the big sports here are reading, eating, and going to bed early." And therein lies Garland's appeal.
ESSENTIALS: Closed Dec-Mar; closed Sunday nights. Sixteen cabins, 12 with fireplaces. From $168, also including tea and dinner. 8067 N. State 89A; (520) 282-3343 or www.garlandslodge.com. Dining room: dinner.

GALISTEO INN, Galisteo, NM
Sheltered by grandfather cottonwoods and secluded in the village of Galisteo, this 260-year-old hacienda is only 30 minutes from Santa Fe Plaza. The 10-table restaurant, recognized as one of the state's finest, serves an exquisite three-course, fixed-price dinner with highlights such as thyme-rubbed beef tenderloin in port wine sauce. Back in your room, light the fire, snuggle under your feather comforter, and watch firelight flicker over the room's foot-thick, gently rounded adobe walls before you drift off to sleep.
ESSENTIALS: Twelve rooms, nine with private bath, five with fireplaces. From $125. 9 La Vega; (505) 466-4000. Dining room: dinner.
― Sharon Niederman
GREER LODGE, Greer, AZ
The three-story, old-fashioned log lodge overlooks a bucolic meadow, ponds, and the west fork of the Little Colorado River, places where you can play horseshoes or fly-fish in the summer and ice-skate or cross-country ski in the winter. In the lobby, a native stone fireplace invites you to get cozy. Rooms in the lodge are airy, spacious, and decorated with pine and rustic furnishings, lace curtains, and quilts. The cabins, more popular with families, are plain and functionally basic. Featuring pasta, steak, and local trout, Amberon's restaurant has walls of windows and an outdoor deck to keep nature in view.
ESSENTIALS: Eight rooms and three cabins. From $95. 44 Main St.; (888) 475-6343. Amberon's: breakfast, lunch, dinner; (520) 735-7216.

HACIENDA DEL SOL GUEST RANCH RESORT, Tucson
Long a Tucson favorite, Hacienda del Sol was originally a girls' school before it became a guest ranch in the 1940s. As a guest ranch, it catered to sun-seeking Easterners and Hollywood celebs - it was one of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn's hideaways. A recent renovation updated the inn's rambling, Spanish colonial accommodations and added a new restaurant, the Grill. The Hacienda's magnificent old cactus gardens remain intact.
ESSENTIALS: Twenty-three rooms, 7 casitas, and 4 suites, 11 with fireplaces; outdoor pool, hot tub, tennis court, and horseback riding. From $135. 5601 N. Hacienda del Sol Rd.; (520) 299-1501 or www.haciendadelsol.com. Grill: dinner, Sunday brunch; 529-3500.

ELLIS STORE COUNTRY INN, Lincoln, NMBilly the Kid really slept here, but he never encountered the comforts of hand-stitched quilts, oak furniture, and lace that pamper modern travelers. Ellis Store started life as a sturdy two-room adobe in 1850 and has witnessed every twist and turn of this tiny town's history. In summer, breakfast is served on the cottage-style porch overlooking shady lawns. Proprietor-chef Jinny Vigil serves six-course gourmet dinners in the dining room, where the romance of the past lives on.
ESSENTIALS: Eight rooms, four with shared bath, plus two suites. From $79. On U.S. 380 in Lincoln; (800) 653-6460 or www.ellisstore.com. Dining room: breakfast, dinner.

Winter > Ski & Ride > Ski & Ride > Lessons > Kids Lessons
The countdown to the 2017/18 season is on. See you Opening Day, November 9.
Call 800.MAMMOTH to inquire about ski or snowboard lessons for the upcoming winter.
Ski & Snowboard
Small groups, playful teaching areas, carpet lifts and fun-loving instructors allow Pioneers to progress at their own pace, from just getting started to skiing and riding on the slopes.
Book Now
For kids learning balance and strength as they grow, our instructors specialize in teaching proper skiing or riding techniques in a way that is fun and leads to a great and positive learning experience.
As kids enter their "tween" years, we know that doing well and feeling good about themselves is just as important as the thrill of going downhill with gravity giving way under your boots.
REQUIRED for all children 13 and under:
Your small child (defined as a child shorter than 51" to the top of their helmet) may be assisted by the lift operator unless instructed differently by their parent our guardian.
A small child should not ride a chairlift alone.
A small child should sit to the far outside of the chair next to the armrest for added security.
A small child not seated next to an armrest should be accompanied by an adult.
When riding a fixed grip chairlift with your child (chairlifts that do not automatically slow down while loading and unloading), position them on the side next to the lift operator.
If your child uses ski poles they should take the straps off of their wrists and hold them in the hand away from the outside of the chair while loading.
Once they are ready they should quickly move from the Wait Here signs to the Load Board. They should remember "Boots on the board".
As the chair approaches the load board your child should turn to the outside of the chair, reach back with their free hand, and grab on to the vertical pole. They should remember "Turn, reach, and grab."
Your child should hold on to the vertical bar next to them all the way up the chairlift. They should remember "Hold on".
Your child should sit all the way back in the chair with their back touching the back of the chair. They should remember "Sit all the way back".
Your child should sit still until they reach the Unload Here signs. They should remember to "Sit still".
Our qualified lift staff is there to assist with loading your small children as well as all guests. Don't hesitate to ask them for any further assistance, if needed.

Take a holiday in Middelfart – for beaches, woods and great shopping
Middelfart is a warm and welcoming town with lively shopping that is surrounded by beaches and woodland. Taking a trip to Middelfart guarantees fantastic scenery and a relaxed urban atmosphere, combined with shopping and good food. The pedestrianised Gågaden leads directly down to the harbour, offering a fine view while you shop interspersed with a cup of good coffee.
Have a go at bridge walking on the old Lillebæltsbro, including the obligatory high-altitude selfie 60 metres up. Take in the magnificent view over Middelfart, Fredericia and the Little Belt whilst learning about the bridge's history. You can also get to know the Little Belt intimately in a sea kayak or a five-hour fishing trip on the M/S Medicus.
Middelfart's location as the link between Funen and Jutland has made the town important through the ages, particularly because of ferries and the town's main industry of fishing, including for porpoises. You can still come in contact with this smallest species of whales – book a whale safari with ADVENTURA for an up-close experience. Your ticket will also give you entry to Henner Friisers Hus, a child-friendly exhibition on porpoises.
Take a spontaneous weekend break in Middelfart with treatment worthy of royalty at Hindsgavl Slot. Marvel at the castle's historic interiors and luxurious rooms, dine at the gourmet restaurant Den Hvide Dame, an elegant blending of visual and culinary pleasure. And if you feel the need for the big city experience, Middelfart is less than 30 miles from Odense. If the kids are with you in Middelfart, get them tree-climbing in Aktivitetsskoven, or walking with deer in Hindsgavl Dyrehave.
There is a regular Christmas market on the streets of Middelfart on the last weekend in November. If you are here on holiday during July and August, there are free activities for kids on the beach twice a week under the irresistible heading of "Stroke a fish and kiss a crab".
Visit this charming market town with sea views all year round. Top shopping and great activities await, not to mention an excellent excuse to spoil yourself thoroughly.

Patient Comments: Bullous Pemphigoid - Treatment
What kinds of treatment, including medication, did you receive for bullous pemphigoid?
Main Article on Bullous Pemphigoid
Comment from: Mimi, 55-64 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 04
My mother was finally diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid, after having been repeatedly misdiagnosed as allergies, bug bites, etc. When correctly diagnosed we were told that it was very rare and would probably go away and never re-occur. Wrong. She went through the process a few more agonizing times until finally a gerontologist suggested taking her off of Lasix and starting an old time diuretic. The bullous pemphigoid cleared within days and never returned.
Comment from: Deborah1961, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 24
I was just definitely diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid yesterday and starting a regime of oral steroids, vitamin B3, and an antibiotic. I have been dealing with this for almost a year and it took the 3rd dermatologist to do a biopsy and find out exactly what I had. I am 100% covered (with just a few on face). Overnight I can get dozens of blisters. It hurts to wear clothing, walk, lay, shower, and I am having more trouble dealing with the constant pain than I am with the disfiguring marks. I am going to be 60 and this is by far the worst thing I have ever had to deal with.
Comment from: Murphy, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 03
I was recently diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid. I spent 4 days in the hospital. My course of treatment is topical steroid creams and oral prednisone. It is a difficult regime to say the least. I am hoping for a short bout of this terrible skin disease. I am very itchy which makes the blisters open. I will return to the dermatology department in about 3 weeks and hope that no more treatment will be necessary. However I am being realistic and know this will be a lifetime condition with remissions and flares. It is better for me to be prepared rather than be disappointed. I wish everyone with this terrible disease a speedy recovery.
Comment from: Patria, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 03
Around the age of approximately 38 I was diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid. I was treated with prednisolone for about 18 months. I was apparently one of the youngest patients the doctor had had. The dermatologist did not take me seriously at my first visit as the initial symptoms of itchiness had subsided due to cortisone ointment. After another 12 months I had developed blisters on the bottom of my fleet and was then diagnosed. I did not like taking steroids due to side effects but it seemed to get rid of itch and blisters; I was on steroids for about 18 months. The week I came off steroids my joints were very painful. I found glucosamine and fish oil helped and have been fine until now. Now 51 I am having very bad arthritic pain in my hips knees and ankles and wonder if the steroid treatment in the past has had an effect on my joints. I have gone from very a fit active person to virtually not being active at all. I was told some side effects were osteoporosis and hunch back but nothing was mentioned about arthritis.
Comment from: CJ, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 02
My treatment for bullous pemphigoid included IVIG which requires hospitalization as the treatment lasts 5 days, oral and topical steroids. I believe the IVIG treatments were the reason I have improved. I'm not out of the woods but I remain positive that this nightmare will end. Good luck to every one of you and hoping you have a speedy recovery. It will get better over time. My thoughts are with each and every one of you.
Comment from: mj, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: April 14
My dad has suffering for almost 5 months. We haven't thought that it is bullous pemphigoid and we went to his dermatologist and he says that he needs to take some medicine to eat and put clobetasol ointment, and soap. For now the itching as stopped. I hope he will get better now! We will go to his dermatologist next week for his biopsy.

Take six twentysomething Chicago friends, add cocktails and hormones, shake, and, you've got HAPPY ENDINGS, the hilarious, edgy new comedy that asks: when a couple splits, who gets to keep the friends? Dave (Zachary Knighton, TV's "FlashForward") finds fulfillment (sort of) manning a food truck after losing his hot fiancee Alex (Elisha Cuthbert, TV's "24") at the altar. Alex's type-A sister Jane (Eliza Coupe, TV's "Scrubs") is almost happily married to horndog Brad (Damon Wayans Jr., TV's "The Underground). Dave's roommate Max (Adam Pally) is a gay, sports-loving slob, and Penny (Casey Wilson, TV's "SNL") is on the prowl for a good man...or men. The laughs are nonstop as they do what tightly-knit friends do best: hang out, have fun, debate the meaning of life, hook up, break up, and do it all over again!

Cornwall's Police and Crime Commissioner would consider reopening Helston Police Station to the public if there was "a strong strength of feeling" for it.
Tony Hogg, a former commanding officer of RNAS Culdrose, made this assurance in a letter to Helston Town Council, who had written asking for him to reinstate the front desk at the station that closed in January 2011.
Mr Hogg said: "The reality is that very few front desks were used regularly, with the majority of the public preferring to use the telephone.
"If, however, there is a strong strength of feeling in Helston that this position should be reviewed then I would welcome a business case from the town council that evidences the need for the re-instatement of this service, which I would then be able to give my thorough consideration."
Discussing the issue at last Thursday's town council meeting, councillor Martine Knight believed the council would have "extreme difficulty" in proving reopening the desk would be a feasible option.
"There's no harm trying, but it would be virtually impossible. In an ideal world, where there are no budget constraints, they would have all stayed open but more than half of them were closed," she added.
However, mayor Jonathan Radford-Gaby said he had heard a report of a member of the public needing help urgently from the police, but despite banging on the police station door they had to contact the central call centre via the phone outside. "How barmy is that?" he said.
Councillor Ronnie Williams said the council should support it "on behalf of the people" of Helston, adding: "The public in general want it. More than likely it will never happen, but we're seen to be looking after the people."
Councillor John Boase suggested Helston contact the parish councils on the Lizard Peninsula and Porthleven Town Council to see if they could give their support.
It was agreed to write to Mr Hogg for more details on what information he would expect to find in the "business case" he wanted Helston to submit.

The Waconia girls' soccer team came away 2-0 last week, picking up big conference wins over Holy Family and Mound-Westonka.
At Holy Family on Sept. 3, head coach Mike Bruggeman said it was a back and forth match, with the two teams trading goals all game. Tied 2-2 at half and then 3-3 later in the second, Waconia was able to come away with the 4-3 victory thanks to goals by senior Jacey Zapf (2), sophomore Jaidyn Zapf, and junior Haley Schoenfelder. All three each were credited with one assist.
"Only the third victory the Waconia girls have achieved over Holy Family in the last six years or so," Bruggeman said. "We had a game plan and were able to execute it effectively. This was a great accomplishment for the team and helped contribute to a great start this season."
On the road again versus Mound-Westonka on Sept. 7, the Wildcats were victorious in a 2-1 game. Bruggeman said injuries and the heat had an impact on the team, but the Waconia players worked to have a solid start.
Jacey Zapf scored both goals for WHS, assisted by juniors Trina Rinke and Claire Sites.
"We were able to create a lot of chances, though had difficulty completing those chances and finding the back of the net," Bruggeman said.
With a 7-1 victory over Glencoe-Silver Lake on Monday, Sept. 9, Waconia improves to 4-0-1 this season, leading the Wright County Conference with an undefeated 3-0-1 record.
The Wildcats are approaching the halfway mark of the season this week with games at Hutchinson and Orono this Thursday and Friday. Next week, the 'Cats are at Delano on Sept. 17 and will have a rematch against the Fire at home on Sept. 19.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/3/2012 (1977 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FRUSTRATED passengers milled about the Richardson International Airport on Friday, anxious for word about flights cancelled in the wake of Air Canada labour unrest in Toronto and Montreal.
As of midday Friday, four Air Canada flights had been cancelled: two inbound and two outbound from Winnipeg.
Among the passengers who were supposed to be on those planes was a group of students from Steinbach Regional Secondary School, who arrived at the airport planning to embark on a trip to Europe. Instead, the group wound up camping out for most of the day in the airport's departure area, waiting for word on how they might get to Toronto to make their connecting flight.
"The people at the counter basically told us to send the kids home, that there would not be a flight today, and for three days they would not be able to get us out of here," said Katie Cook, a librarian and teacher with the Steinbach Regional Secondary School, who got her boarding passes before she was turned back. "How do you tell 19 kids that we're done?... It was awful."
While the group was originally told there was hope to make another flight, late in the afternoon Air Canada arranged to get them hotel rooms near the airport instead.
There was a chance the group could make it out on a plane this morning, but the carrier warned volumes of travellers could mean not all hopeful travellers will make it out today.
"As long as we can get to Toronto, we think we should be OK," Cook said.
Students from Carberry Collegiate also lounged nearby, stretched out on the ground colouring in Sesame Street characters.
The group of 21 students was on its way to Greece, said teacher Kathy Bjarnason, but had to make a connection through Toronto.
Bjarnason had a laid-back approach about the delay.
"It happens, when you travel, whether you're travelling with a large group or not. It's a little unfortunate; the kids are excited to go," said Bjarnason.
Audrey Harder, whose 17-year-old son Ryan was headed to Europe with SRSS, was at the airport Friday to see what happened.
"Of course, they're going to nail spring break, because that's when everybody travels, especially students," said Harder, who called the experience a "waiting game."
