Today was the day that most children in most school districts returned to their classrooms. For the majority of students, this is the day that school resumed post- Winter Break. For students from Sandy Hook, tomorrow marks the day that classes resume in a different school, post-tragedy.
Just prior to Winter Break, I was gathering the very large number of gifts for various people who work with Hayden & signing a seemingly endless number of holiday cards. I am always afraid I am going to forget someone, so I start from the beginning of his day & attempt to think of everyone we want to say 'thank you' to. There's the van driver, his Aide, the Aide who is with him when his regular Aide is on lunch break, his special ed teacher, his regular ed teacher, his therapists... the list goes on. In my mind I sort of think about the layout of the school, & go hallway-by-hallway to make sure I am not forgetting anyone. I even asked one of the teachers to help me with a list. It really does take a village!
Hayden is only in 1st grade but this marks his FIFTH year at that school, including summer program. For three years he attended the (awfully named, yet awesome) Preschool Disabilities Program which has since been moved to a different school-- but he attended the program from age 3 through 5. At age 6 he was in Kindergarten, & now at age 7 he is in 1st grade. This is the same length of time that most typical children have entered the school & graduated to the next one.
So anyway when I got
down the list to the Principal (or should I say the top of the list?), I
decided I really just want to thank him. I thought about bringing in a
really nice plant, or sending one of those edible fruit arrangements to
the front office... but with the tragedy in Connecticut still being so
raw, & for most of us our emotions as well, sending a physical gift didn't seem to suffice.
Therefore I sat down to thank him. Once I began writing I was only interrupted by my eyes welling up, but otherwise I plowed through this holiday letter to H's Principal like something that felt truly five years overdue:
"Good Afternoon Mr. M,
Happiest Holidays to you and your family, and we hope this message finds you
well. Dan and I just wanted to take this opportunity to express our
gratitude for your continued support. I know we stopped in for a moment
during an evening of parent-teacher conferences, but I wanted to communicate
our sentiments in writing as well. And again as far as that incredible
faculty workshop back in September to introduce anyone who had not yet
worked directly with Hayden, to fragile x, and the opportunity I had the
following month to go in and speak with the first grade class... these are
the types of efforts which will allow a mutual benefit for Hayden, his
current and future educators, and his peers. This is precisely the precedent
we want to set, and here at Grade One we have provided that necessary
platform of open communication.
We appreciate your willingness to listen over the years and working with us
to address concerns when need be, as well as accepting our overall
participation in Hayden's education. As you know we continue to maintain
involvement within the fragile x community as well, and every year our
journey is about moving towards the best possible treatments for Hayden--
whether one year involves a school visit from a specialist, or another year
a cross-country trip to a clinic, or a week at an international conference,
or advocating on Capitol Hill, and even within the very school district. We
make every effort to keep everyone informed and ensure the school has the
latest reports, the most up-to-date evaluations, and so forth.
But it takes more than determined, dedicated parents to refine what is best
for a child. Their education requires many minds coming together-- not just
two minds-- to explore and discuss options. The staff within FMB
have always been extremely receptive. My favorite part is when we have
a visit with one of these doctors-- whether they only specialize in fragile
x or not-- and they are not just pleasantly surprised but nearly floored
over the education plan in place for Hayden. These are among our proud
opportunities to sit up straight... and brag. We've heard comments such as
the people at FMB renewing one's faith in education, we've had specialists
ask us if Hayden is in private school, and most recently a developmentalist
we took him to actually applauded the behavioral plan... I mean she
literally clapped for a few seconds and said, "you have no idea how many
districts fail to see the importance of this." Well, not ours, I thought.
In the extremely difficult wake of this unthinkable tragedy in Connecticut,
our eyes were all forced wide open to the crucial importance of ongoing
safety measures... around the nation, and certainly within our own tri-state
area. For me it felt even more eerily close to home when I learned my
supervisor's youngest niece is a survivor. She is about the same age as
Hayden, and is a first grade student at Sandy Hook. Her niece was two
classrooms over from the room the shooter was in, when he took his own life.
She walked with her eyes closed as her teacher led the class out of the
school, but would later learn she lost nine friends that day.
The first glimpse I saw of this tragedy was on the news as I stopped home,
just before heading to FMB for Hayden's team meeting that Friday. The town
name "Newtown" flashed across the screen and at first glance I didn't see
that second "w"... even if I had, I certainly didn't realize it was in
Connecticut. It's difficult to attempt to put into words the conflict of
emotions between the sheer horror of the incident, and the undeniable
(albeit guilty) relief that it's not your own child's school.
It's not uncommon for a parent of a child with special needs to have
different worries than other parents, and more long-term safety concerns. We
have heard some horror stories over the years involving non-verbal students,
or so-called professionals trusted with children whom they shouldn't have
been anywhere near. We hear about these stories in the media and an
occasional shred of comfort may emerge, when there are new laws in place as
a result.
None of us can put a guarantee on everyone's safety and happiness all of the
time. But for the overwhelming majority, thanks to you and your incredible
staff Dan and I rest assured that our little determined warrior is already
in the hands of heroes.
We wish you a blessed holiday, and we thank you.
The Capela Family"
He did send me a very brief but kind reply, pointing out that they don't always hear the positives... so it was that much more appreciated.
Well I can empathize, Mr. M-- because your staff truly warms my heart on a regular basis & that is precisely why I wanted to tell you this.
*Happy New Year, Everyone*

1952 Helsinki Olympic Torch
Selling price: $360,000
Just about any Olympic torch is a big deal, but one of the 20 or so remaining from these Olympic games is a precious commodity.
Helsinki's Summer Olympics were only the second after World War II and the first the Soviet Union saw fit to participate in. It was still dealing with a whole lot of issues of its own under Stalinist rule when London hosted the Summer Olympics in 1948, but became a sporting superpower immediately in Finland. Its 71 medals were second only to the 76 won by the U.S.
It was also the first appearance by the relatively new state of Israel, which was fighting its War Of Independence in 1948. Israel had boycotted Adolph Hitler's Berlin games -- for reasons that should be patently obvious -- in 1936, when the nation was known as the Palestinian Mandate.
Just as importantly, it would be the first time the world laid eyes on an athletic contingent from the People's Republic of China, which just came into being as well. It was a messy bit of business, as Taiwan outright withdrew from the games in protest, and it didn't really take. The People's Republic of China wouldn't show up at the Olympics again until 1984, when the Soviet Union and its Eastern Bloc friends decided to boycott.
All that history, plus the torch's lovely silver bowl and birch handle, made it pretty easy for sellers Vassy-Jalenques SARL of Paris to unload it in April 2011. Memo to the thrifty: Pick a more mundane Olympics if you really want to get your hands on a torch.

Get Mad T-Shirt
I live typography tees and ironic tees. Mainly I just really like this tee.
I can't even accept the devastatingly low v-neck, for such an awesome, awesome print.
Monsters in unnatural places? It's basically my favorite genre of graphic tees.
Cute & simple;want one with an S!
Of all the things worth saving, a film my be my favorite. And when the message is put on sort of washed out, 80s looking design, you know that's something i can get behind.
...It's like a a one eyed Yeti. It's super scary, really awesome and a single color print on a great great tee.
C'mon people, we all know that the whole landing on the moon was a bunch of shenanigans. And just because you know it to be true, doesn't make you weird. Be proud.
I think we can go ahead and call this the ultimate revolution shirt. It sports some of, or all of the the iconic revolution icons

A temporal differential (or space-time differential) is a phenomenon where time passes at different rates in two separate locations.
The subspace pocket circumscribed by a Delta Quadrant subspace sinkhole, encountered by USS Voyager, experienced a temporal differential of 1.4744 seconds outside per minute inside. (VOY: "Gravity")
A planet with a tachyon core, discovered by Voyager in 2376, experienced a temporal differential of approximately one second outside per 16 hours inside. When the inhabitants of the planet attempted to explore Voyager, the transition between their time frame and Voyager's proved debilitating. The planet's civilization eventually developed temporal compensators, which allowed them to briefly interact with the normal space-time continuum. (VOY: "Blink of an Eye")
When establishing a transporter lock, the temporal differential was calculated for. (Star Trek, display graphic)

Military Law
Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
I am a recent graduate of FA BOLC, and PCS'd from Ft. Sill to Ft. Bragg on the 19th of March 2013, with TDY-enroute at Airborne school on the way. 2 days prior to Airborne graduation, I receieved a memorandum signed by the Battalion Commander (For BOLC and CCC at Ft. Sill) stating that my ordinary leave following Airborne school prior to showing up at Fort Bragg had been canceled, and that I had to return to Ft. Sill. I went to TDS at Ft. Benning to figure out what was going on since it seemed very strange, and I was advised by a TDS attorney at Ft. Benning that I had to comply with the memorandum. I returned to Ft. Sill and reported on 15 April by 0900, as was stipulated by the memorandum. Upon arriving, I was notified that I was the subject of an informal 15-6 investigation regarding a website that I had to created to disseminate information to my fellow FABOLC lieutenants. There were/are 3 issues at hand. First, some of the information that was given to us to distribute was FOUO; this information was given to us on a DVD, and we were instructed to make copies of it and ensure that everyone in the platoon got a copy. Instead of the seemingly archaic method of making 30+ copies of a DVD, I put this information on a website that I made and gave everyone the URL. I didn't know that the information was FOUO, and the initial CD was not marked with the green UNCLASS//FOUO sticker. Additionally, my instructors (1 Marine Capt, and 1 Army CPT) were aware of what I was doing, and encouraged me to do it by giving me additional material to post on the website. This is where the second issue comes into play. When the chain of command became aware of the website, they discovered what they assumed to be official testing materials that I had somehow improperly acquired and was distributing to my classmates. In fact, the material they had found was demonstration practice materials that were given to me by my instructors for the explicit purpose of posting and distributing to my classmates. The third issue was that the chain of command was displeased with some of the language that I used on my website. There was nothing racist, sexist, derogatory towards the Army/Chain of Command, etc., but they seemed to take an issue with some profanity that I had used nonetheless.
I waited approximately 2 weeks before speaking to the IO, another 2 weeks before speaking with the Battalion Commander, and have been waiting in limbo until recently.
Backtracking to when I initially arrived to Fort Sill, all the initial memorandum said was that my ordinary leave following Airborne School had been canceled, thus it did not make fiscal sense for me to track down an apartment, drive all the way back here, etc. Thus, I flew back, rented a car, and stayed in a hotel for what I assumed to be a short duration. I made the chain of command aware that I was staying in a hotel and had a rental car, and the acknowledged this and said they were working on finding a way to get me reimbursed for my expenses, ostensibly retroactively placing me on TDY and giving me a full per diem, which would have been fine with me. Approximately 6 weeks into my stay, I was informed by the Battalion XO (Civilian) that the unit was under no obligation to reimburse me for any of my expenses, and that I was collecting BAH and would not be eligible for additional compensation. I had already made a committment to an apartment at Ft. Bragg, and my future roommate is currently there footing the entire bill himself (I make no presumptions that this should matter to the chain of command, it just goes to show a lack of communication and general apathy). I was fairly incensed at this revelation, so I began talking to individuals at IG, and they informed me that the chain of command had violated AR 600-8-10 when I was recalled, and that you cannot recall someone from leave who is due travel reimbursements with a memorandum, it must be done with orders. IG also said that since the 15-6 is still 'open', they cannot intervene. I did not get a revocation order until the end of May. Without new orders, I would be unable to get an apartment (even if I had attempted to do so), as a requirement to get an apartment at Ft. Sill is that you have to check in with housing first with your orders. Essentially, I have been living out of my own pocket the entire time I have been here to the tune of $10,000+ for a hotel and a rental car. I eventually found someone I knew in the area and have been crashing with them since the beginning of June.
Fast-forwarding to the present, I began to protest louder and louder about how long the investigation had been open, taking into consideration that I had waived my right to counsel and remain silent in the interest of expediency and justice. I was eventually told that the Brigade Commander was putting together an administrative separation packet (offline and unofficially), and that I should schedule a meeting with the Battalion Commander (and eventually the Brigade Commander). I met with the Battalion Commander 2 weeks ago (again) and re-iterated how sorry I was, and I have a meeting with the Brigade Commander on Thursday of this week.
The entire situation seems incredibly strange, and I'm even more shocked that I'm actually being considered for separation. I really don't know where to turn at this point. I'm out 10K, may be processed for an administrative separation, and getting increasingly desperate. I feel like an incredible amount of Army resources has been wasted on something so capricious and arbitrary. I'm afraid to cause too much of a stir because the Brigade Commander has deep connections to Ft. Bragg, and as much as people like to deny it, back-channel communications between senior leaders happen, and I'm wary of being doomed to failure before I even get to Ft. Bragg, if I get there at all.
I know there is a lot of information to digest here, so if you need anything else from me let me know.
Thanks in advance.
I have received no official notification of separation whatsoever, just rumors through the chain of command. I was commissioned on 26 MAY 2012, but I had previously been enlisted from JAN 2007 to JUN 2008.
Is there any action that I should take? Does any part of this seem illegal/unjustifiable on their part? Do I have a case to file a claim to be compensated considering they violated AR 600-8-10? I was also under the impression that if someone is being considered for separation that they would have to be notified, is this not true?
Great. Thanks!

Waratahs 15 Brumbies 19
SEVENTEEN rounds in but last night's derby match against the Brumbies was the start of the Waratahs' ''new season'', according to coach Michael Foley in the match-day program. Which meant, one must assume, a chance after a month-long break and six straight losses to start afresh, select from left of field and shake off that losing feeling.
New season, same old season. In the end it was better but not quite enough. Despite dominating possession and territory and scoring two tries to the Brumbies' one, penalties and handling errors in the crucial final minutes allowed drought-breaking victory to elude the Waratahs for the seventh game in a row.
As Brumbies captain Ben Mowen said, it ''wasn't exactly the victory we were after'' but the Australian conference leaders defended to within an inch of their lives to hold the Waratahs off for much of the match and consolidate their place in the Super Rugby finals with a four-point win.
Their coach, Jake White, pointed out after the game that it was the ninth straight game in which the Brumbies had held their opponents scoreless in the final 20 minutes.
It was a streak of a different sort for the Waratahs, who lost another close one not because their opponents played that much better but because they just couldn't play well enough. Two tries, a moderate penalty count and a six-point lead at one stage didn't cut it against the Australian conference leaders.
Coach Michael Foley and captain Benn Robinson pinpointed losing possession on the restart as the side's defining weakness last night.
''Securing that possession is critical,'' Foley said. ''If you don't, obviously they get the possession and they're in your half and that swings the momentum of the game. That happened to us probably two or three times in the game and [when] you're playing the best side in Australia, the margins are going to be fine and you need to win those little moments.''
Robinson, who played his 100th game for NSW last night, said turnovers compounded their difficulties.
''The restarts were pretty disappointing, it took us a while to adapt and get back into the game, but it's hard after scoring points to get back into the game when we were turning it over on our [22m] line,'' he said.
For NSW, it was never about a finals berth but it was about pride. They didn't win it back entirely but there were glimpses of some long-lost attacking credibility - thanks to tries to hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau and inside-centre Berrick Barnes - and, at the very least, a lot for coach Michael Foley to think about over the next few months. New halfback Grayson Hart performed solidly for his part in the match and fullback-turned-five-eighth Bernard Foley gave the home side some hard running edge.
Foley praised his halves combination and said he was proud of the team for not surrendering when the finals were out of reach.
''It's hard because I've sat here a number of times next to Benn and we've talked about close losses but I give the guys a lot of credit, I think a lot of teams fade away [and] that was a much stronger performance than our last outing and I would like to think that's a step towards an even better performance next week,'' he said.
A try in the second half to Brumbies winger Henry Speight kept the Brumbies in the match and the boots of five-eighth Zack Holmes and fullback Jesse Mogg made up the difference and then some.
Polota-Nau was taken off the field in the second half with a corked glute but should be fine to play the Reds this week. Wycliff Palu has a more concerning shoulder injury, Foley said.

An important observation, no doubt. I am wondering if there was a separate analysis to elicit the percentage of reasons contributing to the early death with suicide as one of them. I see that substance abuse, alcohol related disorders are inclusive in the analyzed list. Though they are part of the mental health disorders; they tend to coexist with schizophrenia, bipolar, depression and personality disorders. Is that factored into the calculations? It is really a vicious circle in mental health scenario. Substance and alcohol use makes the symptoms worse and confusing. They contribute to a quick route to grave by themselves. The combination of that and the medicines to treat the mental diseases can sometimes be a problem as well. However farther we came as a society, we cannot ignore the role of social factors and taboo associated with mental disorders and related substance and alcohol use..
N. Dickens, MD
This is yet another reason why mental health coverage by insurance should have parity with other illnesses. Despite passage of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 and its supposed implementation beginning January 2010, coverage remains poor. Our supposedly "good Christian" values can not guide the U.S. to a compassionate health care system..

My friend Marlisa has a home full of beautiful cross-stitch. When I visited her recently I was charmed by it all. I even took a gander at my wedding gift to her, which was a cross-stitch I'd done and had professionally framed. I remembered how much I enjoyed doing counted cross stitch for years and years.
When I stopped stitching I was just at the point where I was beginning to create my own designs. In film school there basically wasn't time for anything besides school stuff, and then when I got to L.A. I got interested in knitting. So I've been doing that for a while now, and I enjoy it, but seeing all the wonderful stitcheries at Marlisa's...
Well, I came home and pulled out a little counted cross stitch kit I'd bought on a whim at some point: Daydreams By Debbie Mumm. Here's how mine came out:
The kit whips up quite quickly and comes with an ingenious little frame:
I haven't figured out where I'm going to put it yet, but it's been a nice diversion when I needed to relax. Like most things unrelated to my career, I won't be able to do it uber regularly, but the good thing about cross stitch is that I find it easier to do than knitting while I watch TV - If you lose your place while you're watching, you can quickly find it again. Some people can see their knitting that way, but I've never been able to.
So I went and ordered another cross-stitch that's a larger, long-term project so I won't feel able to plow through it: Celtic Medallion
I've decided to really focus on my sketching and story boarding through the end of the year, but this will give me something non-career related to do as well. I thought the mandala aspect of it would be good for thinking.
I am going to need to rig up a thread sorter before I start if it doesn't come with something. Ah, it's all coming back...

Good but pricey!Let's hope you are drinking enough water, getting good exercise, sleeping well, eating clean, doing the whole face prep/cleaning regiment right, don't have some genetic history that predisposes you to breakouts and most of all- HEALTHY. My breakouts didn't start until I was 18. As desperate as I was, I blew a whole bunch of money and laser treatments along with this package. Now I am 26 and I can...read more tell you why I say this product is okay. Just like any other products, it will work for as long as you use it. However, you don't want to be using the same product because overtime it won't work and as you age, acne medications can't possible be good for your aging skin(personal opinion). It did work and helped tremendously while I was on it, but that's not going to last long. This product is superficial. I used is this for about a year and stopped. In a few months, I was back to square 1. My point is, you can't just try to fix something from the outside when you're not taking care of the deals inside. This is just another quick fix. I'm sure there are a lot of products out there that can do the same for less $. — 2 years, 3 months agopickly1005 | 2 reviews

Really works results from the last useBe careful to use the product according to the prescribed doses, because at least on my sensitive skin, the first uses have left my skin a little dry and a little red the first hour, but never seen one as visible and rapid improvement, destroyed all buttons, just to use as it is powerful. In any case, it is really worth its price, because the sensation even after hit is really nice, the skin is softer, with less dilated pores. I recommended in addition allows many uses. — 3 years, 9 months agodadapuch | 2 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

You've heard of a little thing called "girl crush," haven't you? I have a lovely line up of girl crushes I'll readily own up to (Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Audrey Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Ava Garner, Rita Hayworth). Ava Gardner, no doubt, makes a lot of "girl crush" lists – as well as many and varied men's lists as well.
What a beauty!
The scene above is from the wonderful classic The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952). I haven't seen this movie in two forevers, but I remember how much I loathed the dancer THEN and, as I watched the scene a few minutes ago, I determined that I loathed him even more now. What's up with that?! I guess it's because he was up against Gregory Peck – who can't possibly do any wrong in my book.
Gregory Peck plays writer Harry Street. After Harry is wounded in an African hunting accident, it appears that he's dying. He reflects back on his life, along with his failures – including losing the beautiful Cynthia Green (Ava Gardner). He Lost Cynthia thanks to his obsession with roaming the world, looking for the next great novel. With the help of Helen (played by the lovely Susan Hayward), Harry realizes that he has a second chance at an epic love story. This time, one that can end happily.
If you've never seen The Snows of Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend buying it on Amazon and watching it asap. Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck are at their finest – and the chemistry is palpable.

Depeche Mode on the World Trade Center
Here's a rare video that's been making the rounds on the Internet this week: Depeche Mode playing "Enjoy the Silence" on the observation deck of the south tower of the World Trade Center in New York.
The video reportedly was done for French TV. Of course, it wasn't the original version of the video. That one features vocalist David Gahan dressed as a king, roaming the countryside with a folding chair. That was awkward enough before seeing this newer version.

Supernatural, Scoop on the First Three Episodes of Season 908/02/2013
Supernatural: Men of Letters related scoop, scoop on the first three episodes of season 9 and more from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez
Here's some scoop on Supernatural from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 8/1/13.
That Men of Letters stuff is just the gift that keeps on giving. It's no secret that I was a big fan of the introduction of this mythology last year, and EP Jeremy Carver told me this week that they intend to ride the MOL train into this season. "We'll be delving a lot more into that," he says, "and in fact we'll be seeing the very first two hunters to ever be stationed at the men of letters bunker. That's a really, really fun episode we have coming up early in the season where we will be flashing back to 1935."
Elsewhere, it will take at least the first three episodes for the show to get back into the case-of-the-week format as before, then they'll be dealing with the fallout of thousands of angels falling from the sky. "There are a lot of pieces to pick up. As we pick up those pieces, we're always introducing new things, but we're very much in the world of consequences of last season," he shared.
But when we do get back to the week-to-week ongoings, here's something to look forward to: an episode that will cause Dean to become what EP Robert Singer called "Doctor Dean-little." Yes, he talks to animals. (!!) "One of the highlights being Dean getting into a brawl with a pigeon," Carver dished. "It's a logical progression from fairies to pigeons."

Four firefighters who say there were forced to participate in San Diego's "Gay Pride" parade and subjected to "vile sexual taunts" have filed a complaint and plan to sue the city.
According to the Thomas More Law Center, four firefighters were forced to participate in the parade against their will and were "subjected to vile sexual taunts from homosexuals lining the parade route." According to the complaint filed with the city, the firemen of Engine 5 told their chief they did not want to appear in the parade but were told the morning of the parade that they were under orders to participate.
The firefighters claim to have been subjected to sexually suggestive comments from parade observers, including "show me your hose," "you can put out my fire," and "give me mouth-to-mouth."
"The experience left me feeling humiliated, embarrassed, and offended by this event," Capt. John Ghiotto said in his statement. According to a press statement by the Thomas More Law Center, "Local papers reporting on the parade made no mention of the lewd and offensive behavior that characterized the parade."

Recently, a company calling itself Diet Doc issued a press release promoting its website, hcgtreatments.com, which offers HCG diet plans that supposedly help dieters lose weight fast. Unfortunately, according to the United States Food and Drug Admiration, this sort of promotion is luring unwitting consumers into taking potential health risks. Before you fall victim, learn what the FDA is saying about this so-called weight-loss strategy.
The FDA Issues Warning Letters
Recently, the FDA sent warning letters to companies that are promoting human chorionic gonadotropin as a weight-loss supplement. According to the agency, the hormone has not been shown to aid fat-loss, and many federal officials are worried that HCG diet supplements could lead to potentially dangerous health problems.
Diet Doc Attempts to Protect Itself
Although the hcgtreatments.com main page claims an HCG diet will help provide 100 percent natural weight-loss, it also readily admits that its claims are unfounded. On its disclaimer page, the site clearly states that human chorionic gonadotrophin is neither recognized nor approved as a dieting drug. Additionally, it also admits that no clinical study has provided scientific evidence that the hormone promotes fat-loss in any way.
Furthermore, the site's disclaimer warns that HCG may result in common side-effects, such as irritability, headaches and tenderness around the breasts; as well as more serious less-common problems, such as nausea, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and even weight gain.
What Consumers Should Know
It's normal for people to seek fast, effective ways to enhance their dieting strategies; however, hormone supplementation has not been proved safe, and consumers should be wary of websites like Diet Doc (hcgtreatments.com) which are clearly attempting to profit off consumer ignorance.
In the end, if youre hoping to lose weight, you'd be well-served to heed the FDA's warnings and choose a safer strategy, such as the Dukan diet plan or some other method that encourages long-term healthy eating habits.

Here for the first time, we report an unusual annealing temperature dependent near-infrared (NIR) luminescence quenching and reviving behavior in Bi-doped MgO-Al2O3-GeO2 glasses. Systematic characterizations of the samples by using differential thermal analysis (DTA), photoluminescence and absorption spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate that this phenomenon is associated with the reversible reaction of Bi+ and Bi0 initiated by the change of local glass structure. Excitingly, wavelength tunable luminescence is also observed and it can be ascribed to selective excitation of active Bi+ center in different sites. These results not only open a new way for controlling luminescence properties of main group elements in glass but also provide great value for improving practical active-fiber drawing process.

Picture: Biffy Clyro Shockwaves NME Awards 2011 held at the O2 Academy Brixton - Arrivals London, England - 23.02.11
Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro came close to disbanding while working on their forthcoming album Opposites as drummer Ben Johnston's alcohol addiction issues threatened to tear them apart.
The group has opened up about its struggles in a candid interview with Scotsman.com, in which Johnston admits that his penchant for his favourite tipple quickly turned into a raging drink problem - and he didn't know how to quit.
He says, "I had no stop button. I would just keep going and black out. Me and Simon (Neil, lead singer) massively drifted apart. It was me that was going to f**k it all up."
To make matters worse, frontman Simon Neil was going through his own personal troubles as his wife suffered three miscarriages.
Neil explains, "Life had been going great. Suddenly the band was falling apart and my wife had the roughest time. Devastating."
Johnston soon started skipping flights to Los Angeles to work on new music, and his drinking became so bad, he passed out during a recording session when he did actually make it to Santa Monica, California - but it was the wake-up call he needed and prompted him to seek counselling by attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings while in the States.
The drummer has managed to stay sober ever since, and even declined to toast his June (12) wedding to his girlfriend Louise to avoid temptation.
Opposites, the follow-up to 2009's Only Revolutions, is due to be released later this month (Jan13).

In Aftermath of Katrina, Independent Stations Anticipate Big Losses
High prices and fuel shortages lead to lower in-store sales.
NEW YORK -- Drivers aren't the only ones feeling the pain of high pump prices and scattered fuel shortages. According to an Associated Press report, independent gas stations are suffering, too.
The stations, which rely on traffic from people filling up their tanks to drive sales in their stores, on Monday were still counting their losses, which one industry group expected to be significant in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The marquee at a QuikTrip in Marietta, Ga., was blank and the pumps stood idle as clerk Star Payne bemoaned the slow sales in the gas station's convenience store.
"It will pick up when we get gas back," she told the AP Sunday, but quickly added, "we have not been given any time frame."
The bulk of the nation's 167,000 retail outlets that sell gasoline, including some that carry the names of big oil companies, are independently owned and operated. They rely on store sales to generate profits and generally only receive pennies on the dollar from gas sales, which are meant to drive traffic into their stores.
"This is a hundreds of billions of dollars industry, with the majority of profit coming from in-store sales," said John Eichberger of the National Association of Convenience Stores, which represents companies that operate 70,000 outlets that sell gasoline. "A lot of retailers have lost money."
Eichberger told the Associated Press that it was too early to give an estimate of the losses, but he predicted it would be "significant."
The hurricane damaged gas pipelines and refineries along the Gulf Coast and caused some supply and production disruptions. Panicked buying by motorists also has contributed to shortages at some stations in the South, along the East Coast and in the Midwest.
In Illinois, officials were trying to keep more gas stations from closing by relaxing some rules related to posting of prices, and station managers were trying to keep from losing more money by clamping down on gas theft.
In addition, the state's Department of Agriculture said gas stations with older pumps that are incapable of computing and displaying prices higher than $2.99 a gallon will be allowed to temporarily post half-gallon prices.

As a kid I listened to my favorite high-voiced divas croon and trill through lyrics of love and loss and recovery as if I had known that same experience. Not only could I match their range with my pre-pubescent voice, but there is certainly a quality of strength and simultaneously vulnerability in these high pitches, which also explains our love for the male falsetto, or even the castrato in the—circa 1650-1750—castration of boys to preserve that 'classic' boyhood soprano. Perhaps this high pitch also allows us to channel castration anxieties, as Freud might have said. Whatever the case, I certainly faced a world that threatened to castrate me, lest I act straight.
Through my family, I was exposed to Patti LaBelle whispering, hollering, then shouting and wailing on "You Are My Friend". Yet, speaking directly to the video-mesmerized XY generation, as a kid of 11 years old when "All Cried Out" hit Billboard's #8 position in October 1986, my heart was already all cried out. I listened to these divas shout about how they had invested all of themselves, yell about a betrayal of trust, and holler about the pain of abandonment, neatly pressing the beat and rhythm forward. Indeed, this unique mix of power and vulnerability is shown through the quality of Lisa Lisa's voice, or even Full Force's (not to leave Force MD's out of a mention powerful voices) skirting across the butch and the femme.
This mirrored my process of coming to terms with my sexuality in a time and space were such things were not annunciated, let alone discussed, so I had learned to bury my feelings. This only intensified the anguish of middle school crushes lived out in teen mags, and through heartthrobs like Marvin Gaye, the Gap Band, New Edition, Prince, WHAM!, and those sweet DeBarge boys. Outside of the music, I was silent.
"There you are, holding her hand / I am lost / Dying to understand", Mariah quailed, gently explaining a similar anguish I felt years later over loosing my first love. I was the first man he had loved, and he was my first love; once we split, he dated a mutual friend. I did not know how to explain the layers of pain I felt, watching him walk around campus holding her hand. And there was no script for all this tenderness.

Nutrition Facts
WW Points (new system): 2 points
Nutrition facts, calculated using gram measurements (via caloriecount.com) are based on 13 stuffed cookies. According to caloriecount, these cookies are also low in sugar, high in manganese, and high in selenium… who knew? Nutrition information is meant as a general guideline.
For the oil: I definitely can't vouch for the results if you cut back on—or omit—the oil called for in any of my recipes. Do it at your own risk.
For the filling: I haven't tried this with any low-fat cream-cheese-type spread, so I can't vouch for that. But as mentioned in the recipe, you can omit the filling if you desire. Or you can experiment and try stuffing the cookies with something else entirely! Peanut butter would be fun.
For the flour: I haven't tried a gluten-free version of this recipe; but if anyone does try it and reports back, I'll update this page with his or her experience. For now, I can only vouch for the results of these cookies (and any of my recipes, for that matter) if you use one of the flours listed in the recipe.
Gluten-Free Experiments:
- Amy's gf experiment: I made them GF using Bob's Red Mill all purpose gf mix. I felt like i needed to add a little more milk, but the end product was super yum. yay!
- Karen: I just made these gluten free by substituting 3/4 cup sorghum flour plus 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum for the flour. Used 2 Tablespoons of plain unsweetened soy milk ( I find most gf flours are drier than wheat flour). Otherwise followed your recipe. The dough was soft and a little crumbly. I got 18 small balls of dough, flattened them and added the cream cheese filling, they did not roll into a ball very well so I pinched the edges together as well as I could and sprinkled the cookies with the cinnamon sugar. Baked for 15 minutes ( at an altitude of 5 thousand feet most things take longer to bake here). A couple are very crackled on top with the filling showing through, so had to eat the worst looking one. Very tasty and worth the trouble of forming them. Thanks for the recipe.
- Tina: I made these using Jukes Gluten free flour, worked well, but quite dry and crumbly. I had to add more milk, probably about a tablespoon more, could have used a bit more, but still very yummy.
If you're not using a food scale, be careful when measuring the flour. You want a loosely-packed 3/4 cup, not a packed 3/4 cup. (I can't recommend a food scale highly enough for precision when baking. You can get one pretty cheaply; BedBathBeyond even sends out 20%-off coupons quite often if you sign up for their mailing list.)
Step-by-Step Photos:
Shown above: some are mini balls, and some have already been flattened into the curved discs.
Above, post-stuffed cookie balls. Some have been rolled in cinnamon-sugar and some are left plain. Sorry for the ugly photos… Now do you know why I don't include step-by-step photos in my original posts? 😉

Vine for Android
Capture life in motion, Android owners.
Twitter finally made its popular Vine video app available for Android earlier this month, where it quickly climbed the charts and mirrored the success the app's seen on the iPhone.
But while it's seen some of the same success as the iOS app, it's not quite the same — yet.
While the service is sending out regular updates to the Android app, there are still some features on the iOS version that haven't made the jump, such as the ability to shoot video from your phone's front-facing camera.
Updates adding such features are likely on their way.
On the other hand, there is one notable feature on the Android app that isn't on the iOS version: the ability to zoom.
The controls to do this are a bit awkwardly assigned to the volume buttons, but it's still a welcome feature.
Free, for Android devices running 4.0 and up.
Sid Meier's Ace Patrol
This mobile game puts you in the cockpit.
As the technology improves and more people see their smartphones as gaming devices, the quality of the mobile game has picked up, too.
Sid Meier's Ace Patrol shows off some of the best of what a mobile game can be: a thoughtful strategy title that embraces the casual way mobile gamers play without dumbing it down too much.
Ace Patrol puts players in the cockpits of World War I airplanes and lets users fly solo, play in real time with friends or pop in for shorter multiplayer turns.
The game is easy to get into and offers players a surprising amount of customization for a mobile title, giving them reign over how planes look, what moves their pilots learn and how to upgrade their planes.
And while the free levels on the title do seem to go by quickly, it's well worth a download — and an in-app purchase or two for further levels.
Free for iOS devices.

Diane Vinson, 55, died in the fire on East Main Street in a neighborhood of mill houses in the New Holland area of Gainesville, according to Hall County Coroner Marion Merck. An autopsy conducted Wednesday concluded that Vinson died from smoke inhalation, Merck said.
Firefighters responded to a call to No. 7 E. Main St. at 7:33 p.m. Tuesday, arriving within minutes to find the mill house nearly half-
consumed in flames.
Vinson was found dead in the floor of her bedroom a few minutes after firefighters entered the house, Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said. She lived alone. A family that lived in an adjoining unit of the house escaped the fire.
Fire investigators believe the blaze started in the bedroom.
On Wednesday, Cagle said the official cause may be undetermined, but that investigators believe either a lit cigarette or candles started the fire.
Vinson was known to be a heavy smoker, and authorities found cigarettes in a trash can in the bedroom, Cagle said.
Cigarette smoking is the top cause of fatal fires in the United States, Cagle said.
Authorities are leaning more toward an array of small "tea light" candles as the likely cause, however. Remnants of five of the candles and their aluminum bases were found on a shelf a few feet from the bed, Cagle said.
"Right now the candles are making more sense to us (as the cause), because of their proximity versus the cigarettes," Cagle said.
Fire investigators on Wednesday found the remnants of one smoke alarm in the living room area near the bedroom, but could not determine whether it had been working.

Elite 8 2014: Full Schedule and X-Factors That Will Shape the BracketMarch 29, 2014
Just eight teams remain in the NCAA tournament, and this year's Elite Eight should be fascinating to watch, since the fates of so many teams hinge on one key player or another.
Basketball is certainly a team sport, but there are just a few x-factors in this tournament who could really tip the scales in one direction or another.
Between Michigan State's Branden Dawson and Michigan's Nik Stauskas, it's evident that one player can entirely change the complexion of a team.
Read on for a full schedule of the Elite Eight's matchups, as well as some analysis of what Dawson and Stauskas mean to their respective teams.
All Your Bracket Essentials:
|Elite 8 Schedule

|(7) Connecticut vs. (4) Michigan State
|Sunday, 2:20 p.m.
|(8) Kentucky vs. (2) Michigan
|Sunday, 5:05 p.m.
Nik Stauskas
The Wolverines are a team that thrives on three-point shooting, and sophomore guard Nik Stauskas drives their long-distance shooting.
While Stauskas' 6'6" frame means he's a formidable player down low as well, it's hard to deny that his 44.8 shooting percentage from beyond the arc is of paramount importance to the team.
"We're all leaders on the court but Nik, just his demeanor, people really get confidence from that," Michigan's Spike Albrecht told Jo-Ann Barnas of the Detroit Free-Press.
He's continued his shooting dominance during the tournament, hitting 50 percent, 44.4 percent and 37.5 percent of his three-balls in the team's three games.
The Wolverines' offense revolves entirely around their success from three-point range, as they score 34.9 percent of their points from beyond the arc, and Stauskas' success can singlehandedly sway that stat in their favor.
However, he's got plenty of athleticism to go along with his shooting, as this crazy sequence against Tennessee shows.
Any doubts about Stauskas' importance should be allayed when looking at how the team did against the Volunteers when his shot was off.
In the first half, Stauskas hit a pair of threes and the Wolverines went into the locker room with a 45-34 lead.
It took him until the 3:41 mark of the second half to hit another, and he failed to do so for the remainder of the game, allowing the Volunteers to very nearly steal the game.
The Wolverines have a very tough matchup with the hot Kentucky Wildcats looming, and if they want a shot at winning, Stauskas will have to be accurate from downtown.
Branden Dawson
To put it simply, Branden Dawson is the difference between the Spartans playing decent basketball and the Spartans playing championship-caliber basketball.
Michigan State was 18-1 when he went out after breaking a bone his hand in an embarrassing incident with a training table but went 4-5 in his absence.
Although it took him a little while to find his groove again after returning, he's averaging 20 points and nine rebounds per game in the tournament to power the Spartans.
He almost single-handedly skewered Virginia's top ranked scoring defense, putting up 24 points and 10 rebounds while thwarting Tony Bennett's scheme.
"Dawson makes all the difference; he did today. He was a matchup problem for us," Bennett told the Associated Press via ESPN.
He was especially good in the second half, stepping up when the team needed it most, as CBS Sports' Jeff Borzello observed.
Dawson kept the Spartans in the game at a time when the Cavs seemed to have captured the momentum -- he scored all of MSU's second-half points until a dunk by Adreian Payne at the 10:29 mark. On the assist? Branden Dawson.
With Keith Appling still struggling on the offensive end, and Gary Harris and Denzel Valentine going cold from the perimeter against Virginia's defense, Dawson had to step up and be a difference-maker.
Despite standing just 6-foot-6, Dawson was absolutely relentless on the glass, crashing the boards for tip-ins and put-backs, while also corralling shots at the other end. He was aggressive when facing up in the paint against Mike Tobey and Anthony Gill, using his strength and athleticism to finish against the bigger UVA post players. Dawson also consistently drew contact and got to the free-throw line.
His dominance was evident as the game wore on, and it's perfectly demonstrated by this big dunk.
With Dawson's return, Michigan State has the talent to win the whole thing this year.
They have plenty of veteran leadership with guys like Keith Appling and Adreian Payne, a coach who is intimately familiar with the tournament in Tom Izzo and the dominant Dawson to power the offense.
While Stauskas' success could be the difference between Michigan merely making a Final Four appearance or bowing out to Kentucky, Dawson could be the difference for the Spartans as they try to win it all.

Avenged Sevenfold Dish on Status of Drummer, Uproar Setlist
Avenged Sevenfold have been playing with drummer Arin Ilejay since the beginning of this year, but aren't quite ready to officially induct him into the A7X fold. Singer M. Shadows says that will happen only after they sit down and try composing music together.
"As far as personality and his playing, he's our guy, but we haven't been able to write a record with him yet," Shadows tells Billboard.com. "So, we want to make sure for his good and for our good that he can write with us and bring something to the creative and be comfortable in the situation . . . hopefully everything works out 'cause we love the guy."
Ilegay took over on drums after Dream Theater stickman Mike Portnoy filled in for original drummer James 'The Rev' Sullivan, who died in 2009 from a lethal mix of prescription drugs and alcohol.
Speaking of Ilejay, he'll be playing inside the mouth of a 17-by-40-foot version of Avenged Sevenfold's "death bat" logo "that catches on fire and shots flames and all sorts of fun stuff" when the band headlines the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, which kicks off tonight (Aug. 26) in Camden, N.J. "It's a very sort of Spinal Tap, over-the-top metal-looking show," Shadows says of their stage setup for Uproar.
The pyrotechnical display is just one surprise AX7 have planned for the trek. Another is a different setlist every night, selected from a tally of songs that fans voted for during a month-long poll in the band's website. "We're picking the top 20 songs and we're mixing it up every night so no one knows what set they're going to get on any given night on the tour," promises the singer. "It's gonna be cool for the fans."
As previously reported, Avenged Sevenfold plan on taking an extended break after they complete their touring cycle next year for their most recent album, 'Nightmare.'
