I've been texting this guy but not like i like him... i find him annoying and he's been nagging me to go out for a date for ages and i dont really want to go...
what should i do?
Most Helpful Guy
just turn him down. sometimes the saying "just give it a chance you never know what will happen" doesn't apply. you have to find him somewhat appealing to even consider saying yes or else your expectations are going to be really low going into the date and you won't really have much fun as easily.00|00|0
true.. i already find him annoying... and already have an impression of him so hmm

if its not what you desire then its perfectly fine. its not even being rude.

A TMZ staffer says he saw Paris Hilton sharing a joint with a friend.
Paris Hilton smokes marijuana? Why not? The hotel heiress was spotted at Pink Elephant nightclub in New York City at 1:30 a.m. Thursday. Sitting there with her friends, an onlooker who sat two tables away from her saw her hold something white in her hands as she turned her back to the main room.
Afterwards, the eyewitness who happened to be a TMZ staffer, saw her turned back and a female friend leaned down, took what appeared to be a fat, hand-rolled cigarette and lit it. The TMZ staffer then saw the friend take two hits and hand it over to Paris who then took a hit herself and handed it back to the friend.
The source says he smell marijuana. That's not all, on June 3, TMZ cameraman Josh Levine got a shot of Paris driving up to a Hollywood nightclub smoking something. And when she suddenly noticed TMZ's camera, Paris nervously began applying make-up. Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, told TMZ that the star rolled her own cigarettes.
As for the incident at the Pink Elephant, Mintz told TMZ, "I was not there so there is no way I can comment. I have a call into Paris right now", whereas rep from Pink Elephant said "no comment."

The UT-Austin police will stamp your ID number onto your bike for free on Wednesdays from 9:00-4:00 in front of Gregory Gym at 21st & Speedway. You don't have to be a student; it's open to everyone. In addition to stamping your license number, they'll put a registration sticker on the down tube. Sure, the registration sticker would be easy for a thief to remove, but the point is that when thieves even SEE the registration sticker, they may avoid stealing your bike because they know that it's registered and has your ID number stamped into it, so it'll be harder to sell.
Note that some cyclists are wary about having their bikes registered, because then if they get harassed by the police for any reason, the police could ID them with the state ID # etched into their bike.
We have a separate article about bike theft and recovery.

The family of a New York City police detective who died years after working at ground zero met for several hours yesterday with New York City medical examiners who had concluded that the detective's death could not be linked to the toxic dust there.
Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, the chief medical examiner, sent a letter on Tuesday to Detective James Zadroga's father, Joseph Zadroga of Little Egg Harbor, N.J., stating "with certainty beyond doubt" that the material found in Detective Zadroga's lungs "did not get there as the result of inhaling dust at the World Trade Center or elsewhere."
After the meeting, Mr. Zadroga slipped out a side door and drove off without saying anything. The family's lawyer, Michael Barasch, refused to give any details about the meeting or why the medical examiner had contradicted a New Jersey pathologist who concluded last year that Detective Zadroga's death was caused by respiratory failure "directly related" to ground zero dust.
"Two rational men can disagree," Mr. Barasch said. "So the family will leave it to the court of public opinion and let the public decide what makes the most sense here."Continue reading the main story
Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said that Detective Zadroga's family had asked Dr. Hirsch a few months ago to examine the autopsy report because they wanted Detective Zadroga's name to be added to the official list of victims of the attack.
"Dr. Hirsch gave his personal assurance to the family that he would keep the details of the meeting private and confidential," Ms. Borakove said.
Ms. Borakove said the medical examiner had also done re-examinations for three or four other families of people whose deaths were suspected to be linked to ground zero work, and had rejected such a conclusion for all of them. She said that one other review, still pending, was for Cesar A. Borja, a police officer who died in January of pulmonary fibrosis.
His family claimed he had become ill after rushing to ground zero and spending many hours there. But records indicated his exposure to the dust was far more limited.
Dr. Gerard Breton, the New Jersey pathologist who conducted the autopsy on Detective Zadroga, said in an interview yesterday that he was not changing his opinion that the detective's death was linked to his exposure to ground zero dust.
Dr. Breton said that after completing the autopsy last year, he did not have access to the sophisticated equipment needed to analyze the tissue samples and sent them to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
Dr. Breton said that the institute identified the foreign material from Detective Zadroga's lungs, and that he concluded the material was consistent with ground zero dust.Continue reading the main story

Easing inflation
Latest News »
Inflation has now been above the official March 2017 target for four months in a row. Much of the recent acceleration in prices has been driven by food. The good monsoon this year, as well as the sharp increase in cultivated area under pulses, raise hopes that a drop in food inflation will drive down the headline number from August. Vegetable prices could retreat from a high base last year. Is India on the cusp of another round of disinflation?
It is too early to say for sure; core inflation, which excludes volatile food and fuel prices, has been sticky around current levels for a long time. Strong consumer demand combined with minimal new capacity creation in industry will help companies protect their pricing power.
In a recent note, economists at Citi India say they expect consumer price inflation for August to once again go below the March 2017 target. That would be a relief for new Reserve Bank of India governor Urjit Patel.

When Star first burst onto Indian television screens in the early 1990s, it set new trends with an innovative programming mix for its different channels across Asia, channel branding and superior broadcast quality. It wasn't long before a host of other Indian channels followed.
"Star TV has always had a strong culture of incorporating promos and packaging into its content, right since 1994, and has set standards as far as quality is concerned," says Avijit Mitra, Creative Director, Star India. The channel packaging format for the Star TV Network is created at Star TV headquarters in Hong Kong, with a predominantly blue and white colour scheme for most channels like Star Plus and Star News, while for Star Gold the main colour used is gold.
Star Plus runs mainly episodic promotion and 'plot point' based promotion that keeps the audience clued in to what's happening in future episodes. Though most of the content on Star TV - soap operas like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi or Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, game shows or talk shows catering mainly to the middle class, when it comes to promos, it's no holds barred - the look of the promo is crucial.
"Promos and packaging have an 'aspiration value' attached to it," says Avijit. "They aren't just about informing the audience about a show. Promos need to hit you in the face."
At Star India's Broadcast Operations and Engineering division in Mumbai, a dedicated team of around 48 people work at creating promos and packaging for game shows like Kisme Kitna Hai Dum, Khulja Sim Sim and Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) on Star Plus. In addition, they also work on the packaging for content on Star Gold, Channel V, Star Plus UK and as well as Star TV production services unit.
"Star India's sophisticated broadcast facility-the first of it's kind in India-consists of a digital multi-camera set-up and eleven fiber-optic networked audio/video editing and finishing systems," says Paritosh Saha, Sr. Manager, Broadcast operations & Engineering.
Three editors work Smoke, a nonlinear editing and finishing system, to create and enhance the look of promos. The work ranges from basic colour correction to graphics to complex and heavy compositing. For most of the promos, shots are picked from existing footage and composited in Smoke.
Adds Avijit, who's worked with both Smoke and Discreet® Fire®, "The Smoke colour corrector is really good and the result is footage that has a soft and smooth look."
Smoke scores in helping Star TV achieve consistency in production quality. This is critical as Star TV outsources part of its promos and packaging. "The quality of footage produced externally varies a great deal," R. Balu, Vice President, Broadcast Operations and Engineering at Star TV. "Smoke helps us retain control over the quality of the promos that go on air."
When Star TV was looking at bringing its extremely popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) back on air in the form of a 16 episode rerun, Smoke is what Star TV used to create an entirely new look for the promos.
Star TV wanted to test audience response to Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) being aired again. Since most people were familiar with the how the show was conducted and the rules, this time around the promos focused on Amitabh Bachchan's personality as well as the largeness of the show.
Working on an extremely short deadline, the team recreated a small portion of the set and completed a shoot in 10 minutes with three cameras capturing footage of Amitabh Bachchan from different angles.
Basic color correction was applied to the footage. Background lights, 2D graphics and DV motion blurs were generated in Smoke. "For the second stage of color correction, we used the Smoke' s film scratches effect to get a 'film look' even though the footage was shot in DigiBeta," says Avijit.
Though the film Asoka starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor wasn't a success, the film was shot very well. The film released in the theatres was of a three-hour duration, the Star TV production team had over five hours of footage, which they had to repackage in to five episodes of one hour each. A series of around 10 to 12 teasers and promos were created all of which involved heavy compositing to bring out the vibrant colors and textures in the film.
"We made nine teasers of five seconds, a few ten second teasers and two 30-second promos. The packaging was recreated entirely with new title montages all created in Smoke," says Avijit. Avijit feels that though the content is similar on Hindi channels with the mix of soaps and shows, it's the promos and packaging that act as facilitators to drive TRPs higher.
He adds, "In media, everything is time driven and one doesn't really have the time for extensive shooting. Errors made in production and shooting can be easily rectified with Discreet systems. Whatever the quality of the show you can improve it in Smoke and make sure the promo looks dazzling."
Satish Patil, Graphics Supervisor, Star India considers the Smoke keyer to be one of the best. He adds, "Composites with precise results can be achieved in Mathobs along with different combinations of layers."
"The effects that can be generated in Smoke greatly enhance the quality of footage. sparks Plugs-ins like 2D Paint, 5D and Sapphire result in good output with a huge quality difference. Sapphire is extremely good with motion blurs, lens flares, clouds, zap effects and graining," says Satish.
Satish also finds the timeline in Smoke to be one of its best features that most editors find easy to use as far as archiving, organizing footage and editing while compositing is concerned. He adds: "With Smoke you can be sure about uncompromised quality of the footage delivered with no loss in saturation or luma. Smoke is so easy to understand that even non-technical staff or editors working on other systems can understand Smoke or learn to use it in about a week."
Since Star TV invested in Smoke, its utilization has risen from 35 per cent to 85 per cent. Around 180 promos a month, out of which 40 to 50 promos are of top rated shows, are edited in Smoke. Editors at Star TV take about 6 to 8 hours to complete a promo in Smoke.
"The cost of producing a promo on Smoke would depend from facility to facility," says Balu adding that Star TVs production costs are down 35 per cent of what they used to be apart from benefits of maintaining control on quality and quantity of promos.
"Smoke delivers really fast and output in terms of both time and quality is really fantastic," says Satish.

So there is this guy I like and I plan on asking him out.
The thing is I have this thing that I get super embarrassed when I get close to people's faces. I've never kissed a guy and I've really never had a official date before.
I bet if he tries to kiss me, like I want him to but .. Well.. I like him so much that I would be mega blushing and I wouldn't be able to concentrate. If worst comes to worse, how could I end the date nicely if I can't kiss him? I don't want him feeling bad that I didn't kiss him. Help me please.
Most Helpful Guy
If it helps, nothing you described here would be unattractive for a first kiss.
They are supposed to be a little awkward, exciting, even terrifying. I would be more apprehensive about kissing someone for the first time who WASN'T a little nervous/excited. It shows that you really care and are into the moment. That's why couples tell stories about a first kiss later to bore their friends... ;)
Your first kiss is going to make you a tad uneasy regardless of whether its on the first date, or the tenth. Embrace that energy and use it; don't run from it. That could send mixed signals, and get things started on a weird note.
Just some thoughts. Best Wishes!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actor-filmmaker Mel Ferrer, the onetime husband of screen icon Audrey Hepburn who co-starred with her in "War and Peace" and directed her in "Green Mansions," has died at age 90, a family spokesman said on Tuesday.
Ferrer died in his sleep surrounded by relatives and close friends at his home on his family's ranch in Carpenteria, California, near Santa Barbara, the spokesman, Mike Mena said.
The lanky, gaunt Ferrer, first appeared on Broadway as a chorus dancer in 1938 and made his big-screen acting debut in the 1949 racial drama "Lost Boundaries," playing a fair-skinned black doctor passing as white.
But he is best remembered for his role as the lame puppeteer in the 1953 musical "Lili," with Leslie Caron, the same year Hepburn made her big-screen breakthrough in "Roman Holiday," which earned her a best actress Oscar.
Ferrer and Hepburn married in 1954 and appeared together in the 1956 movie adaptation of the Leo Tolstoy novel "War and Peace" -- she as Natasha Rostov and he as Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.
As a filmmaker, Ferrer directed Claudette Colbert in the 1950 mystery "The Secret Fury" and Hepburn in the 1959 romantic adventure "Green Mansions," set in the jungles of Venezuela.
But the couple enjoyed a more successful collaboration in the 1967 thriller "Wait Until Dark," which he produced starring Hepburn as a blind woman pursued by killers out to silence her as a potential witness.
Their marriage -- the first of five for Ferrer (he was married twice to Frances Gunby Pilchard) -- ended the following year. Their only child, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, 47, is a filmmaker who directed the 2001 documentary "Racehoss." Hepburn died of cancer in 1993.

Mass Effect gamers were skeptical of BioWare's inclusion of multiplayer in the highly-anticipated, and now especially divisive, Mass Effect 3. No doubt plenty of players continue to avoid the mode at all costs, as if it would be blasphemy to enjoy the Mass Effect mechanics as anything but a single player venture; still, loads of gamers have become addicted to the mode – investing countless hours in experimenting with the various character load-outs and leveling up classes. That success is due, in large part, to BioWare's support of the online mode by way of special weekends that offered XP bonuses and chances for rare weaponry.
Now, after over a month of steady Mass Effect 3 multiplayer events, the developer is taking a break from hosting weekly special "Operations" – pushing to an every other week schedule.
According to a recent post on the official BioWare Blog, the team is decreasing the frequency of the promotions – to ensure that they're creating the best experiences possible for players who are still actively fighting Cerberus, Reapers, and Geth in the various sectors of the galaxy. While the approach of quality over quantity is certainly admirable, some hardcore Mass Effect fans may be bummed to find out that the updated schedule starts immediately – meaning that there will be no "Operation" this weekend:
"This weekend, April 20-22, we will not be hosting an N7 Operation. Moving forward we will be offering our N7 Operations every other weekend. We realize that we have thousands of N7 operators, and this new cadence will allow us to create and execute the best possible Operations for the community."
That said, BioWare is already teasing the next event, "Operation Exorcist" – which will be scheduled for the following weekend (April 27-29):
"Make sure you prepare your multiplayer squad because next weekend, April 27-29, is Operation Exorcist. The Alliance needs the best, we will show the enemy no mercy."
The posting also mentions to keep an eye on MassEffect.com, and Blog.BioWare.com for "cool upcoming features" – including "an update from the Alliance News Network" this very weekend. Exactly what the update posting will contain is anyone's guess at this point – as it could merely be clarification on Operation Exorcist or possibly a tease for what to expect from BioWare's commitment to "the best possible Operations for the community."
Of course, it's always feasible that the developer will unveil plans for further DLC (maps, characters, and weaponry) or an entirely new enemy faction (i.e. bring back the Collectors); though, don't get too excited, as a content announcement would probably be premature at this point.
As for Operation Exorcist, we'll certainly know more soon (very likely in the aforementioned weekend update) but could we be seeing a variation on Operation Goliath (which challenged the community to kill 1 million Reaper Brutes)? Maybe this time we'll be tasked with dispatching 1 million Reaper Banshees, instead?
Mass Effect 3 is now available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Everything God made is incredible. He is an excellent creator, and we are blessed to witness His marvelous creativity. Even though original sin caused us suffering, He surrounded us with a stunning natural setting appealing to our eyes.
Nature is full of God's remarkable imprints. No matter what natural setting you prefer, God created it for your enjoyment. Finding joy in God's other creations isn't by accident but by His design. Our Father left us an abundance of other creatures, mountains, oceans and forests for pleasure.
It's tough for me to narrow down a single choice from God's enormous creations. I enjoy watching nature, and it always lifts my spirits. Sunsets and harvest moons are pleasant to experience bringing joy to my day and night. Dolphins are fascinating. When I'm around mountains, it captures my attention, and I enjoy their incredible scenery.
Evolutionists try their best to discount God the Creator. Charles Darwin had doubts but published his theory of evolution. Random chance and mutations are his claims for life.
Even if Darwin had the advances in today's modern science, it still doesn't explain the organized design from living organisms. The complexity of DNA and cell development are beyond human comprehension, and God hasn't shown humans everything. He has mysteries unknown to us. And it's in His creation of nature that has left His mark on every continent and body of water.
The evidence of God is everywhere. He allows us to enjoy our stay on earth by exposing us to supernatural powers. Every flower, insect, creature and cosmic events prove His existence. Isn't God terrific!
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)
Are you enjoying God's creations?

Nas Biography
Nasir Bin Olu Dara Jones, 14 September 1973, Long Island, New York, USA. From the tough Queensbridge housing projects which brought the world Marley Marl, MC Shan and Intelligent Hoodlum, Nas made his name as a highly skilled rapper with the double whammy of 1994s Illmatic and 1996s It Was Written, albums whose music was crafted with a degree of subtlety and forethought often absent from the genre. Jones was heavily influenced by his jazz-playing father, Olu Dara, and started rapping at the age of nine, graduating to a crew entitled the Devastatin Seven in the mid-80s. He met Main Source producer Large Professor in 1989, in the course of recording his first demo tape. The producer introduced him to the crew, leading to his debut on Main Sources 1991 collection Breaking Atoms, guesting on the cut Live At The Barbeque, where he was part of a skilled chorus line, alongside Large Professor and Akinyele. Though he was widely applauded for his contribution he failed to build on the impact, drifting through life and becoming disillusioned by the death of his best friend Will, and the shooting of his brother. He may well have stayed on the outside of the hip-hop game had not MC Serch (Nas had guested on his Back To The Grill) hired him to provide a solo track for the soundtrack to 1992s Zebrahead. Half Time, again recorded with the Large Professor, was the result.
A debut album followed, ILLMATIC, a record which fulfilled the hope laid upon him and arguably one of the ten most important hip-hop records of all time, with contributions from the cream of New Yorks producers: DJ Premier (Gang Starr), Pete Rock and Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest). A hefty unit for which Columbia Records were happy to pay the bill, judging Nas to be their priority rap act for 1994. Nas, who had by now dropped his Nasty prefix, honed a rapping style that was at once flamboyant, but with a lyrical armoury that far surpassed the expected humdrum bitches and hos routines. Serch, now A&R head of Wild Pitch Records, once declared Nas: Pound for pound, note for note, word for word, the best MC I ever heard in my life. There was now evidence to suggest he may have been correct. Commercial success followed when Nas second collection, It Was Written, debuted at number 1 on the Billboard album chart in July 1996. In 1997, he collaborated with Foxy Brown, AZ and Nature on the supergroup project, the Firm. Nas long-time associate Cormega was originally planned to appear on the album, but was replaced by Nature sparking off a bitter rivalry between Nas and Cormega that rumbled on into the new millennium.
Although it demonstrated signs of a creative impasse, I AM... , which revealed the new Nas Escobar alias, showed no sign of his commercial popularity having diminished when it debuted at US number 1 in April 1999. His quality control standards dipped alarmingly on the half-baked follow-up Nastradamus, released the same November. Nas launched his Ill Will Records imprint in autumn 2000 with the debut release by his rap supergroup QB Finest, who enjoyed a national hit single with the salacious Oochie Wally. He set about rebuilding his creative and commercial standing with a string of well-received albums in the early 00s. In 2001, his lyrics given bite by a public beef with (among others) his former friend Jay-Z, Nas dropped STILLMATIC, a hint that there was still ample lifeblood in the Queens MC. 2004's STREET DISCIPLE (name taken from the first phrase he ever spit on wax on the Main Source track) contained a moving tribute to/duet with his father and the Iron Butterfly sampling "Thief's Theme." In January 2005, Nas married his partner of two years, the singer Kelis. That same year, he ended the fued with Jay-Z in a big way, joining the Brooklyn rapper on stage to embrace and trade freestyles, and by January 2006, Nas was signed to the Jay-Z run Def Jam. Later that year, He openly went to the Iron Butterfly well again, using the same looped sample for the title track to the confrontational HIP HOP IS DEAD, which sparked discussion in the rap universe, but was meant as a wake-up call more than a slam.
In 2008, the provocative rapper made headlines yet again when he announced the title of his next record would be a certain 6-letter racial slur. While he drew criticism from many corners, and Wal-Mart refused to stock an album with said title, Nas contended that he wanted to "take power [away] from that word." Ultimately, the record was released on July 15 of that year without a title (it defaulted to NAS). On the first single, "Hero," Nas wrote his own coda "So untitled it is/I never change nothin'...No matter what the CD called/I'm unbeatable y'all," and Nas ultimately got the last laugh as the album debuted at #1 and many downloads featured the album with its original title. That same year, Nas made news when he marched on Fox News for its unfavorable (and he contended, biased) coverage of African-American Presidential nominee Barack Obama.

National legal business DWF has advised RMS International on securing a growth capital investment from BGF to fund infrastructure developments and further expand its global operations.
RMS designs, sources and distributes toys, craft, stationery and licence products to customers throughout the world. It has offices in Manchester (headquarters), Miami, Boston, Hong Kong, Shanghai and the Netherlands.
RMS has developed, over the past 25 years, a range of products under its own brands: Grafix, Blocktech, GL and Games Hub. This has been a major driver of growth and helped to establish RMS' reputation for innovative, exciting and value-for-money products. More recently, the business has built a strong 'licenced product' line, working with Disney, Universal and other major franchises. RMS' management team is now pursuing further expansion in the licenced-brand product category, as well as continued development of Grafix and its other major brands.
RMS was founded in 1982 and its operations include product innovation and design, research and testing and supply chain audits to service major retailers worldwide. Significant in-house market research and design means that RMS is able to react to market trends and introduce new lines across all areas of the business. RMS now employs 130 staff worldwide including a team of 27 designers.
Stuart Rose, the former Chairman of toy group Hamleys and former Managing Director of The Body Shop, has been appointed as Chairman for RMS, following an introduction by BGF.
The core DWF team consisted of Jonathan Robinson and Francesca Kinsella.
Jonathan, who led the deal, said "We have worked with RMS for a considerable time and are delighted to have worked with them in connection with this significant investment which will facilitate the expansion of RMS' international expansion."
The investment was led for BGF by Matt Widdall and Rhys Davenport. RMS is banked by Barclays Corporate Banking.

Two more monkeys have tested positive for exposure to a dangerous bacterium at the Tulane National Primate Research Center near Covington, officials said Friday, even as state and local authorities complained about Tulane withholding information about 177 potentially exposed monkeys.
The two new monkeys showed an immune response to the bacterium but had no symptoms of infection by Burkholderia pseudomallei, which is native to southeast Asia and Australia and can cause melioidosis, a potentially fatal disease in humans and animals.
Scientists at the primate center have been researching potential vaccines to protect against the bacterium, but that research was being conducted on rodents in a highly secured lab.
In November, however, two monkeys showed signs of the disease and eventually had to be euthanized, leading to an investigation into how the bacterium escaped from the lab. During that investigation, two more monkeys tested positive for exposure, and another one became ill and had to be euthanized.
Friday's announcement that two more monkeys showed antibodies consistent with exposure to the bacterium brings the total of confirmed exposures to seven. The two latest monkeys will be retested to confirm their positive tests, officials said.
How the bacterium escaped the lab remains unknown, but the investigation has focused on the center's veterinarian clinic. All of the monkeys that have showed signs of exposure were treated in one room of the clinic, Tulane University spokesman Michael Strecker said.
The most recent pair of monkeys to test positive were in the clinic during October and November, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
The latest news followed a Thursday story in USA Today that said 177 monkeys that were treated in the clinic during the period when the bacterium is thought to have been at loose there were returned to their cages in the center's 5,000-strong monkey breeding colony, greatly expanding the number of potential exposures.
Tulane officials have said they have tested nearly 400 monkeys, but the latest revelation means the testing will have to be expanded, Strecker said.
The USA Today story also quoted St. Tammany Parish President Pat Brister as saying it was "unacceptable" that she was learning about the 177 monkeys from a reporter and not from Tulane.
"It certainly raises a red flag to me that I'm not hearing everything from them," Brister told USA Today.
Brister's comment echoes statements she made nearly a month ago after the initial reports about the first two monkeys' infection and the possible infection of a U.S. Department of Agriculture investigator who had been sent to the center to investigate the problem.
The first two monkeys showed signs of infection in November, but Brister didn't learn of it until mid-January, when she was asked about it by a WWL-TV reporter. Several weeks later, Brister held a rare Saturday news conference to announce that an investigator who had been to the center might have been exposed to the bacterium while there. That turned out not to be the case, but when asked, Brister insisted that such a breakdown in communication wouldn't happen again.
Her spokesman said Friday that her comment quoted in USA Today would stand as evidence for how she felt things were being handled by Tulane.
"We have some concerns," spokesman Ronnie Simpson said.
Parish officials plan to bring those concerns before the other members of the so-called Unified Command: the stable of federal, state and local entities sharing information about the center. That group includes the CDC, USDA, Environmental Protection Agency, Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, Louisiana Department of Agriculture and parish government.
Tulane also is a member of the Unified Command.
"I know that better communication within the Unified Command will be discussed next week," when CDC officials are again scheduled to visit the site, Simpson said.
Brister wasn't the only Unified Command member who learned of the 177 potentially exposed monkeys from the media.
Mike Steele, a spokesman for GOHSEP, said he had been asking Tulane how many monkeys might have been exposed.
"Somebody tried to get that number on the conference call this week, and I have heard it asked before," he said. "I know that's a question we have tried to have answered, and they have not answered it that I am aware of."
Steele said he personally had asked the question and never received an answer.
"To the best of my knowledge, they never supplied anyone at GOHSEP with those totals," he said of the 177 potentially exposed rhesus macaques.
Parish Councilman Marty Gould, in whose district the primate center lies, said Tulane has been holding back information. "The problem is that we are finding out information that Tulane just hasn't disclosed," he said. "It's very disturbing."
Gould praised the communication from state and federal agencies, but he said he and his constituents are upset with how Tulane has handled the situation.
Tulane spokesman Strecker said members of the Unified Command were aware as far back as January that animals were being moved from the clinic to the cages, but that was before the clinic was suspected as the source of the infections. He refused to respond directly to the comments of Brister, Steele and Gould.
However, Strecker and primate center Director Andrew Lackner have insisted throughout that there is no threat to public health.
The bacterium can be spread only through direct contact and isn't an airborne pathogen. A raft of tests on air, soil and water near the center, as well as blood tests on monkeys and high-risk employees at the center, have come back negative for the bacterium. Another report in USA Today, however, questioned whether those tests — especially those on the soil — were adequate.
All of the center's research into "select agents," a group of pathogens considered to pose a potentially severe threat to human, animal or plant health, has been suspended at the direction of the CDC.
The center sits on a 500-acre campus just south of the Abita River. Colonies of the bacterium can develop in soil after being introduced there through animal or human waste, officials have said. Once there, it can be spread by water runoff after a rain.
After a human is exposed to Burkholderia pseudomallei, it can take years before symptoms appear. Once diagnosed, however, it is treatable with antibiotics.

Target, the second-largest discount retailer in the United States, will be having some trade-in deals for the purchase of an iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina Display and also for the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5s. Customers who will trade-in a iPad 2 or a newer version are said to get at least $150 toward the purchase of a new iPad. The program starts this Sunday, and will run through next Saturday, March 15.
Target customers can bundle that up with a $30 Target gift card, which means they can get at least $180 off a brand new iPad. The better your old iPad is, the more money you will get. However, the deal isn't available online, being available only inside Target's physical stores. Obviously, this is made in order to assess correctly the condition of your old iPad and to prevent fraud.
The big retailer is also running a similar deal on the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. The iPhone trade-in program also starts on 9 March and is available until March 22. For the iPhone deal, you don't need to trade-in a used iPhone, as any working cellphone will do. Besides this, you will also get an extra $50 off as a Target gift card. The iPhone deals are only valid with the Verizon, Sprint and AT&T carriers.

Siân is a human geographer trained at the University of Minnesota where she completed her PhD in 2016. She completed her MA at the University of Cape Town in 2009. Her research interests lie in Southern Africa's land-housing-finance nexus, state-capital relations, suburbanization, race, the social relations of property, and the urban land question. Her PhD, titled "Infrastructures of Property and Debt: making affordable housing, race and place in Johannesburg", investigated the changing political economy of Johannesburg's suburban 'affordable' housing market. Her MA explored the ambiguous, contested and gendered forms of property ownership produced through the privatization of council housing in Cape Town and Lusaka, Zambia.
Her research has been supported by an ICGC-UWC Mellon Scholar fellowship, two University of Minnesota fellowships, and the 'Body Politics' project at the University of Cape Town.
Between her studies, Siân worked as a fieldwork coordinator and research assistant on projects investigating public infrastructure investment and social change in Cape Town; African suburbanisms; social mixing as global policy goal; and the transformation of mining land in Johannesburg. She has also tutored and lectured students in human geography, development sociology and social research methods, and is currently a lecturer at the School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental Studies, at the University of the Witwatersrand.

Hi my 4 month old daughter has pretty bad eczema and recently has begun scratching her face to the point where it bleeds. One spot on her cheek broke open and scabbed over several times and is now an open spot that is always appearing 'wet' and 'oozy'
I have been reading alot online about infections - and in one post someone said - "We have been there despite our best efforts my son contracted MRSA and it went into his blood stream due to scratching and we almost lost him"
I wanted to know how you can tell the difference between a minor infection or weeping eczema and a very serious life-threatening infection.. what do I do? I feel like the pediatrician will just take a quick look and prescribe antibiotics which can just make things worse. I see everything from go to the E.R. and have it tested to just do a bleach bath & put vaselinene.
I have been puting hydrogine peroxide on it and then Lanolin on top of that.
I think I am going to try the bleach bath thing tonight. Last night was a TERRIBLE night she would not sleep any longer than 45 minutes and was taking as much as 3 hours to go to sleep. I feel like it is because she is in so much discomfort from her face especially.

Strange but true, according to a new online campaign for the office supply superstore. To spread the word about OfficeMax's hidden treasure trove of holiday gift options, agency Toy tapped eight different interactive agencies to create no less than twenty "gifts" in the form of fun holiday websites, all linked by the familiar yellow OfficeMax tab. "Yeah, making twenty websites is a little crazy—but so is the idea of getting people to shop for holiday gifts at an office store," laughs Toy executive creative director Ari Merkin. "We just wanted to get on the radar and make that holiday connection with people. The sites weren't a smaller piece of a larger campaign, they are the campaign. There's no traditional media supporting this. If you roll over the OfficeMax tab, there are links to take you to each of the sites. This way they can all support each other. It's a new kind of interactive campaign, and a bit of an experiment." Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

The Washington Fair stage is complete, the midway is set up and everything is on track for the Washington Town and Country Fair, which runs Wednesday through Sunday, Aug. 1-5, at the Fairgrounds.
This year's theme is "Making Memories."
Chairman Dale Westhoff said he's excited to show off the new stage. The new concert stage and event center is located just north of Lions Lake along Veterans Drive.
The facility is a partnership between the city and Chamber of Commerce, which operates the Fair. Many businesses, civic groups and service organizations have made donations as well.
"It really looks great. We can't wait to have people on it. Our entertainers are going to love it," he said, adding that he's confident that even if there are bad storms, the stage will not collapse as Fair stages in other states have in the past.
Every year, the issue of heat arises, but Westhoff said that the weather was good for the two pre-Fair events, the run/walk Saturday and the parade Sunday, and that he hopes the weather will hold out through the Fair.
For the first time this year, to help keep the grounds in good shape, because of the drought, the Fair Board watered the grounds prior to the beginning of the Fair.
Westhoff said the board usually waters the grounds to help keep dust down, but this is the first year it has been done before the start of the Fair.
"We've been trying to water the grounds and they're starting to green up. The little bit of rain (Sunday morning) helped a lot," he said. "We will go in and water the midway and high-traffic areas to help keep the dust down. We will try to keep it as nice as possible and I think it will be fine this year."
If fairgoers need respite from the heat, Westhoff reminded people that the home economics building has air conditioning. Additionally, misting fans will be located near the food courts and throughout the grounds. The Washington Fire Department will have a watering station by the livestock area where children can get wet and play.
"The forecast has been changing a lot, almost every day that you look at it," Westhoff said. "I'm confident we're going to have some great weather and some good crowds this year."
Westhoff said there is a lot of new food in the food court this year and that there is at least one new ride people can look forward to, "Nemesis."
"I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with the rides this year," he said. "We're going to have a great carnival."
World Record
Westhoff reminded people that the Fair will try to break a world record, though the record has changed.
Rather than trying to have the most water rockets launched simultaneously, the Fair will try to set the record for the most water rockets launched individually in a 24-hour period, said Jennifer Giesike, Fair coordinator.
The time period will begin Friday, Aug. 3, at 11 a.m. and run through Saturday, Aug. 4, at 11 a.m. at the Motor Sports Arena.
The goal is to get 3,000 people to participate in 24 hours. The previous record is 2,575.
Directions on how to build your own water rocket for the event can be found online at washmoFair.com. Launchers will be available on site.
Season passes can be purchased at numerous retail outlets, online or at the gate.
The Washington Fair queen will be crowned opening night and top ticket sellers will be recognized. The contest will begin at 8:30 p.m. on the Main Stage.
This year's Fair will include motor sports events, carnival rides, Agri-Land, livestock shows, the Purina Pro Plan Performance Team, contests and other activities.
Main stage entertainment features Jake Owen, Gretchen Wilson, REO Speedwagon and Jerrod Niemann.
REO Speedwagon last played at the Washington Fair in 1997 to big crowds.
Country singer Jerrod Niemann will perform on Sunday, the final night, with Chris Cavanaugh as his opening act.
New Events
A new event this year will be a benefit for the Green Beret Casualty Fund, which provides financial assistance to the families of wounded and killed Green Berets and members of the Armed Forces.
The Green Beret A Team from the 5th Special Forces Group will be at the Fair all day Friday and Saturday with a special display of weapons, vehicles and equipment. This display will be located on the west side of the Main Stage. A variety of military-related vendors also will be present.
Prior to the Gretchen Wilson concert, the Green Beret Casualty Fund will have a special tribute on the Main Stage at 6:30 p.m. Former Cardinals football player Jerry Holloway will lead with the national anthem. Music, dedications, a history of the Green Beret with demonstrations and presentations will follow.
Additionally, a pig will be auctioned during the livestock auction with proceeds to benefit the fund. The pig was donated by the Deppe family.
Also new this year will be a People's Choice Brewfest Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. People can pay $5 to enter the tasting tent and help select the winner. The cost will be $5 for one collector's glass and one voting sheet.
Participating breweries include Schlafly, Augusta Brewing Co., Tall Grass Brewing Co. and Weston Brewing Co.
The winner will get to have a tap of its beer in the Rotary and Lions Club tents next year.
Motor Sports
Westhoff said the motor sports lineup is the same as last year with bull riding Wednesday night, a rodeo Thursday evening, the always popular tractor pull Friday beginning at 3 p.m. followed by the truck and mini-rod pull Friday night.
On Saturday, the micro sprint cars will return and there will be stadium motocross racing Sunday beginning at 2 p.m.
Livestock judging will take place Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the auction beginning at noon Saturday.
A wide variety of children's contests will be held all five days of the Fair and several special events are planned in the Family Fun Center, such as appearances by the World Bird Sanctuary, dance demonstrations, martial arts and new this year, a zip line.
Hands-on activities also are planned at Agri-Land and Safety Lands.
Westhoff said some of the contests are being held on different days and times this year so fairgoers should check the schedule carefully for their favorite activities.
"I hope everyone comes out to make some memories," he said.

I was a natural bright blonde as a kid, but my hair went more mousy brown when I hit about 13. I've been fully dying my hair blonde for a few years now but I'm getting a bit bored with it.
Do you think going brunette would suit me? If so what shades?
Or do you think I should stick to the blonde?
Btw you can enlarge my icon on my profile to have a look & decide. Thank youuu xxx

My guess is that any color but red will work. But just so you're not regretting it, use a rinse that only lasts a short while - long enough to get used to it, but not so long you have to wait for it to grow out. If you like, then you can go for something that lasts. Or, maybe someone you know has a program that lets you take your photo (looking straight ahead) and try different hair styles and colors. I don't have a name but I know they make them.11|00|0

Monmouth: Nor'Easter Scratched
With weather many times becoming the lead story on the local news around here I'm starting to think they're just making up these strom threats. Early in the week we were warned of this impending "Nor'easter" coming on Thursday night or Friday, and it made you feel like you should start getting your affairs in order. Wind, rain, beach erosion and downed power lines were likely, we were told, and "you can just forget about any turf racing at Monmouth." Well, they never said that, but it was apparent with a little reading between the lines. Public handicappers with earlu deadlines planned accordingly.
Lo and behold, it's fast and firm on another beautiful fall afternoon in Oceanport. The only downside to this day is the fact the card is weak, with the first seven races either for maidens or for claimers which have never won two lifetime. However, there are a couple of sprint stakes, the Eillo and the College of New Jersey Stakes, later on the card, and that makes the Pick 5 and the late Pick 4 playable.

IFA Applauds Lawmakers for Introducing Employer Mandate Repeal Bill
Matthew Haller, 202-662-0770
Jenna Weisbord, 202-662-0766
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2013—International Franchise Association Senior Vice President of Government Relations & Public Policy Judith Thorman released the following statement regarding the introduction of the American Job Protection Act to repeal the job-killing employer mandate that was included in the President's $2.6 trillion Affordable Care Act. The new law requires businesses of 50 full-time equivalent employees or more to provide health insurance of minimum value or pay a penalty of $2,000 for each employee working 30 hours or more a week. The American Job Protection Act was introduced by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) in the Senate and companion legislation was introduced in the House by U.S. Reps. Charles Boustany, Jr. (R-La.), Pat Tiberi (R-Ohio) and John Barrow (D-Ga.).
"The Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable for the franchising community. According to a study by the nonpartisan Hudson Institute, the employer mandate puts 3.2 million full-time jobs at risk in the franchise industry, and will add more than $6.4 billion in increased costs to franchise businesses, not including the cost of regulatory compliance.
"The employer mandate places costly burdens on franchise business owners and creates perverse incentives that may lead some franchise owners to choose between shifting workers to part-time status or eliminate jobs altogether. For some, these workforce decisions could be the difference between staying in business or going out of business, particularly given the additional economic and public policy pressures that have been placed on the small business community in the past several years, including increases in tax rates as a result of the ACA and the fiscal cliff deal, difficulty accessing capital and fluctuating energy and commodity costs.
"We are grateful to these bipartisan lawmakers for recognizing the burden that the employer mandate places on the franchising community, and look forward to working in both the legislative and regulatory arenas to gain additional flexibility for America's franchise owners in complying with the Affordable Care Act."
About the International Franchise Association
The International Franchise Association is the world's oldest and largest organization representing franchising worldwide. Celebrating over 50 years of excellence, education and advocacy, IFA works through its government relations and public policy, media relations and educational programs to protect, enhance and promote franchising. Through its media awareness campaign highlighting the theme, Franchising: Building Local Businesses, One Opportunity at a Time, IFA promotes the economic impact of the more than 825,000 franchise establishments, which support nearly 18 million jobs and $2.1 trillion of economic output for the U.S. economy. IFA members include franchise companies in over 300 different business format categories, individual franchisees and companies that support the industry in marketing, law and business development.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said that he "feels terrible" about the play in which Colorado freshman tailback Rodney "Speedy" Stewart suffered a fractured right fibula last Saturday.
Stewart was injured on a horse-collar tackle by Aggies linebacker Von Miller, who was flagged on the play for a penalty in Texas A&M's 24-17 victory over the Buffaloes.
"I've voted on this in the National Football League, and we really grabbed it (rule prohibiting horse-collar tackles) because players were breaking their legs," said Sherman, who formerly coached the Green Bay Packers. "I feel terrible that young man broke his leg with a horse-collar tackle."
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins said that Stewart will be out for the rest of the regular season with a projected recovery period of four to six weeks. In his first eight games, Stewart was on a pace to break the Colorado freshman rushing record and was fourth in the conference in rushing with an average of 75.4 yards per game.
Stewart becomes the eighth Colorado player to be lost with a season-ending injury this season. Others include cornerback Benjamin Burney (knee), defensive end Drew Hudgins (knee), guard Mike Iltis (knee), linebacker Jon Major (knee), tackle Ryan Miller (broken fibula), guard Maxwell Tuioti-Maxwell (knee) and tight end Luke Walters (leg).
"That's part of football, part of life," Hawkins said. "It's a very sad deal that Speedy got hurt. We've had other guys step up and step in. It's kind of been our lot this year. It's like we're getting our Ph.D. in dealing with adversity."
Stewart's injury will mean that freshman running back Darrell Scott will receive more playing time. Scott told reporters after the Buffaloes' 24-17 loss that he's ready for more work.
Scott turned an ankle in the Texas A&M game, but still showed flashes of the potential that made him one of the most heralded running backs in the nation before coming to college. Scott raced for a 42-yard run against Texas A&M, Colorado's longest play from scrimmage this season.
"I'll just have to tough it out and try to make plays," Scott told the Denver Post. "I'll do what I can."
