Two Syrian rockets struck Lebanon on Tuesday, causing damage and heightening tensions between Lebanese Shiite and Sunni communities over neighboring Syria's civil war, security officials in Beirut said.
In Syria, two bishops who were kidnapped while traveling outside the city of Aleppo were released Tuesday, less than 24 hours after gunmen pulled them from their car and shot their driver dead.
There has been a marked increase in the rocket and mortar attacks along the Syria-Lebanon border in the past two weeks. The rockets, apparently fired by Syrian rebels, have hit mostly Shiite areas in Lebanon, killing at least two people and progressively reaching deeper into Lebanese territory.
Dominated for decades by its larger neighbor, Lebanon has been on edge since the Syrian uprising began in March 2011. The two countries share a complex web of political and sectarian ties and rivalries, and the conflict next door has divided Lebanese along religious lines.
Pro- and anti-Assad groups in Lebanon have engaged in a series of deadly clashes. Many Lebanese Shiites back Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose regime is dominated by members of his minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Lebanese Sunnis back the rebels, who are mostly from that country's Sunni majority.
Two leading Lebanese Sunni Muslim clerics further stoked tensions late Monday, calling for holy war, or jihad, against Assad.
The heated rhetoric on both sides of the divide in Lebanon, coupled with escalating violence along the border, has led to a sinking sense among many Lebanese that their country may be sucked into the civil war next door.
Now in its third year, the conflict has settled into a deadly grind, with rebels controlling much of northern Syria while the regime keeps a tight grip on Damascus, the Mediterranean coast and the major cities in the west, except the contested commercial hub of Aleppo.
The fighting has exacted a huge toll on the country, killing more than 70,000 people, laying waste to cities, towns and villages and forcing more than a million people to flee their homes and seek refuge abroad.
In Israel, a senior military intelligence official said that Assad used chemical weapons last month against rebels. It was the first time that Israel has accused the embattled Syrian leader of using his stockpile of nonconventional weapons.
"To the best of our professional understanding, the regime used lethal chemical weapons against the militants in a series of incidents over the past months," Brig. Gen. Itai Brun of Israeli military intelligence told a security conference in Tel Aviv. "Shrunken pupils, foaming at the mouth and other signs indicate, in our view, that lethal chemical weapons were used."
He said the assessment was based on visual evidence of alleged attacks. Analysts say the best way to verify whether a chemical attack took place is with physical evidence, such as soil samples from the site.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking in Brussels, urged NATO to prepare for the possible use of chemical weapons by Syria and called for alliance members to boost their assistance to the Syrian opposition. NATO member Turkey borders Syria and would be most at risk from such an attack.
One of the rockets that hit Lebanon Tuesday slammed into a house under construction on the edge of the northeastern town of Hermel near the border with Syria, the officials in Beirut said. The other fell in a field, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
The rocket fire coincided with heavy fighting on the Syrian side of the border around the strategic town of Qusair, where troops and pro-government Shiite gunmen backed by Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group have been advancing for days.
Syrian rebels accuse Hezbollah of fighting alongside Assad's troops and attacking rebels from inside Lebanese territory. Though Hezbollah confirms backing the regime's fighters, it denies taking part in the wider civil war.
The Qusair region is strategic because it links the capital Damascus with the Mediterranean coastal enclave that is the heartland of Assad's Alawite sect.
In Lebanon, hard-line Sunni cleric Sheik Ahmad al-Assir, one of Hezbollah's harshest critics, issued a religious edict urging Sunni Lebanese men "to defend Qusair."
Another Sunni cleric, Sheikh Salem al-Rafie issued an edict calling for a "general mobilization among Sunnis to protect Sunni brothers." He said the people of Qusair appealed for "money and men."
Al-Assir and al-Rafie said Hezbollah has violated the Lebanese government's neutral stance toward Syria's civil war by taking part in the fighting.
Over the past several weeks, Hezbollah has held several funerals in Lebanon for its members - gunmen who it said were killed while "performing their jihadi duties." The group did not say where or how the men were killed, but it is widely known they died fighting in Syria.
Lebanese Sunnis have also been killed in Syria, fighting alongside the rebels trying to oust Assad.
Top Hezbollah official Nabil Kaouk said Monday that his group is "performing a national duty" toward Lebanese Shiites living in Syrian border towns and villages.
The two kidnapped priests, Bishop Boulos Yazigi of the Greek Orthodox Church and Bishop John Ibrahim of the Assyrian Orthodox Church, were released Tuesday and arrived safely to their respective patriarchates in Aleppo, according to Greek Orthodox Bishop Tony Yazigi.
The bishops were abducted late Monday from the village of Kfar Dael, and the gunmen killed their driver.
It was not immediately clear who kidnapped the men, but Bishop Tony Yazigi said the abductors appeared to be Chechen fighters from the al-Qaida-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra group, one of the most powerful of the myriad rebel factions fighting in Syria. Yazigi declined to say what that conclusion was based on.
The main Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, condemned the kidnapping and blamed Assad's regime.
However, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, reported that foreign fighters had abducted the bishops.
Also Tuesday, Syria's Foreign Ministry sharply criticized an EU decision a day earlier to lift its oil embargo on Syrian to allow for crude exports from rebel-held territory and for investment in the oil industry.
In letters sent to the U.N. Security Council and the secretary-general, Syria called the EU decision "illegal" and said it "amounts to an act of aggression," as it constitutes "a complicity in stealing resources that belong to the Syrian people, the only ones with authority over these resources."

The Insights on Selected Procoagulation Markers and Outcomes in Stroke Trial (I-SPOT): Response to Insulin Administration and Blood Glucose Control proposal is designed to accompany the Stroke Hyperglycemia Insulin Network Effort (SHINE) clinical trial, a Phase III multicenter, randomized, controlled trial planning to determine the efficacy and validate the safety of glycemic control in stroke patients. The SHINE trial will recruit 1,400 AIS patients with Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hyperglycemia, each receiving 3 days of hyperglycemia control with intravenous (IV) insulin therapy or control therapy with subcutaneous (SQ) insulin. The I-SPOT trial will recruit 315 SHINE patients. Blood coagulation marker levels will be measured before and at 48 hours after the start of treatment. Baseline and temporal changes in biomarkers levels will be compared between treatment groups.
Hypothesis: The decrease in levels of markers of blood coagulation will be greater in patients treated with IV insulin to reduce BG than in patients treated with SQ Insulin as the standard fashion.
Hypothesis: The decrease in levels of markers of blood coagulation will be greater in patients with than without favorable (SHINE) outcome (defined as the baseline stroke severity adjusted measure of functional ability at 90 days after AIS).
Hypothesis: Hyperglycemia control modulates the relationship between blood coagulation levels and functional outcome in T2DM patients after stroke. Patients treated with IV Insulin for hyperglycemia control with favorable (SHINE) outcome will have greater decreases in blood coagulation levels than either IV Insulin-treated patients without favorable outcome or SQ Insulin-treated with or without favorable outcomes at 90 days after AIS.

Surprise inclusions on the team that would make or break the Americans' World Cup hopes, Seattle Sounders reclamation project Eddie Johnson and San Jose Earthquakes journeyman Alan Gordon combined for a stunning 90th-minute game-winner on Friday night in Antigua.
Gordon, 30 and appearing in his first game for the U.S. national team, hit the cross. And Johnson, 28 and playing for his country for the first time in two years, headed the ball home to lift the U.S. to a critical 2-1 victory over Antigua and Barbuda.
The vital three points leaves coach Jurgen Klinsmann's team, which has struggled throughout this World Cup campaign, in good shape heading into Tuesday's game vs. Guatemala in Kansas City, Kans.
A tie for the U.S. (3-1-1) on Tuesday likely would be enough to send it through to the final round of CONCACAF qualifying next year. Guatemala defeated Jamaica 2-1 on Friday, remaining atop Group A in CONCACAF qualifying play. It remains even with the U.S. at 3-1-1. Jamaica is third at 2-2-1.
Johnson—who scored both goals Friday—and Gordon rescued the U.S. from what would have been a humiliating draw against the world's 106th-ranked national team. For most of the night, a first-time viewer likely would have been unable to tell the difference between the squad featuring elite, seasoned professionals and the side comprised largely of players earning their living at the worst club in the U.S. third division.
The bumpy and narrow cricket pitch, along with the heavy wind and rain that battered the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, certainly played a role in slowing the U.S. But this is a team that managed to score more than once in only three of Klinsmann's first 18 games in charge—attacking creativity and coherence has not been a hallmark of the famed German striker's tenure.
Klinsmann said before the game that he expected difficult conditions and a defense-first approach from the Benna Boys. His response was a starting lineup that prioritized the attack.
Clint Dempsey and Herculez Gomez started up front, with Johnson—who Klinsmann said was selected because of his aerial prowess—tucked in somewhat surprisingly on the left wing. Sporting Kansas City playmaker Graham Zusi manned the right flank while Michael Bradley and Danny Williams were in central midfield.
Captain Carlos Bocanegra slid over to left back in place of the ill Fabian Johnson, as expected, with Clarence Goodson coming in alongside Geoff Cameron in the middle of Klinsmann's back four.
Bradley and Zusi saw a lot of the ball early, but the poor field and inability of Gomez and Dempsey to find much space inside the crowded Antigua penalty area kept chances to a minimum.
Bradley and Johnson nearly connected in the 19th minute, and then a minute later the U.S. had the lead. Bradley fed Zusi, who turned and floated in a gorgeous cross toward Johnson at the left post. The Sounders' forward hit a sharp, perfectly placed header past Antigua goalkeeper Molvin James for his first U.S. goal in more than four years.
Like last month's loss in Jamaica, however, the Americans were unable to hold the lead.
Five minutes later, Antigua marksman Peter Byers played set-up man, beating Cameron on the dribble and feeding striker Dexter Blackstock with a cross. Goodson fell on the wet turf and Nottingham Forest's Blackstock, one of the few Benna Boys who doesn't play for the Antigua Barracuda in USL Pro, finished easily.
For the next hour, the U.S. slogged through the rain and the aggressive Antigua defense, failing repeatedly to get the ball to the frontrunners or to test James.
Gomez struggled with his first touch, and Dempsey was unable to find dangerous positions. Meanwhile, as the Americans pressed, they became vulnerable to the counterattack. Both Blackstock and Byers threatened U.S. netminder Tim Howard in the second half.
In the 73rd minute, Klinsmann replaced Gomez with Gordon. Part of a San Jose team that has made its league-leading living on scoring late, game-changing goals, Gordon was far from awed by the occasion. His 90th-minute cross from the right floated directly to Johnson's head, and the revitalized Sounder made no mistake.
A cautionary tale of wasted talent following 3½ failed years in Europe and a subsequent six-month hiatus, Johnson was given an opportunity to resurrect his career this season with Seattle. He has 14 MLS goals with the Sounders this year and now two huge markers with the U.S.
"We talk about dreams and making your dreams a reality," Johnson told beIN Sport following the victory. "It's been two years since I've been in the mix. Credit goes to (Sounders coach) Sigi Schmid. I want to thank Seattle ... for giving me a second chance, really believing in me when no one else believed in me."
"(Klinsmann) had a ton of confidence in me to put me out wide on the wing, and my teammates had a ton of confidence in me."
That trust, from his club and country, made all the difference to the player and in the result Friday.
Now, after a tumultuous and often clumsy semifinal round, the U.S. is back where it is supposed to be heading toward Tuesday's finale.

'"You've got to credit your linemates. With Pommer (Jason Pominville) I've had good chemistry and with Cody (Hodgson) we've found a centreman who can move the puck both ways (with forehand and backhand passes) and the puck has been going in. Lately, we've had some good chances, I've gotten some good chances and they're not going in. I've just got to stay the same: Don't get too high, don't get too low and play my game."'

Aaron Vieyra, 33, of North Platte was sentenced to up to three years in the state penitentiary Monday for attempting to distribute cocaine.
Vieyra was arrested on May 26, 2011 along with eight others in a major bust by cooperating law enforcement agencies. Vieyra has been out on bond since June 3, 2011, when he paid 10 percent of $100,000.
The former firefighter pled guilty Oct. 15 to two counts of attempted distribution. Rowlands handed down two sentences, one for each count, but ordered the two to run concurrently.
In Vieyras defense, attorney Russ Jones called character witnesses for Vieyra.
Fire Department Battalion Chief Billy Kleinow told the court that Vieyra was an average-to-above-average employee and he never had any issues with him in the nine years Vieyra worked there.
I can only remember Aaron being late to work a couple of times, Kleinow said.
Fire Chief Paul Pedersen also said he could not recall any issues with Vieyra as an employee.
Linda Shea of the North Platte Jaycees said Vieyra volunteered for fundraisers and other events at least once a month since he got out of jail on bond.
Jones asked the court to not just rubber stamp Vieyra and send him to the penitentiary. He said it would cost an average of $36,000 a year to keep Vieyra in the pen, while the state prison system is overcrowded and stressed financially.
Jones said the state doesnt have funds to provide help or housing for troubled and abused kids and should not spend that money on a man who is not a threat to the community.
Lincoln County Attorney Rebecca Harling said otherwise. She pointed out to the court that the volunteering didnt start until after Vieyra was out of jail on bond. And, she said police reports indicated that Vieyra was also involved with using steroids and possibly getting them for others. Harling asked for a penitentiary sentence.
District Judge Donald Rowlands said he considered that Vieyra entered a plea, thereby saving the state some expenses.
Your prior record is minimal, Rowlands said, showing only a shoplifting case when you were still a juvenile. In your pre-sentence report, the probation office did say you are a low risk to repeat, but did not recommend probation because of the nature of the crime."
Rowlands said Vieyra distributed what the court considers a dangerous drug and I feel that probation would send the wrong impression to the public and the community. I have no choice but to sentence you to one and a half to three years.
Approximately 30 people were in court in support of Vieyra and tears broke out around the gallery when the sentence was handed down.

Death's DemiseMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Once upon a time there was a dad and 3 kids. When the kids were adults, the dad was old and Death came to take the dad. The first son, who became a lawyer, begged Death to let the dad live a few more years. Death agreed. When Death came back, the second son, who became a doctor begged Death to let his father live a few more days. Death agreed. When Death came back the third son, who became a priest, begged Death to let the dad live till that candle wick burned out and he pointed to a candle. Death agreed. The third son knew Death wouldn't come back, and he didn't. Why not?
AnswerThe third son went over and blew out the candle after Death left because the son said "till the candle wick burns out", not "till the candle burns out".

We found the following story about one man's encounter with a shaman deep in the Amazon River Basin fascinating. Although not near as "off the grid" as this man's singular journey, day 6 of our own Amazon River trip includes a visit to a well-respected Amazon village shaman, and is always considered a highlight by guests.
Illuminated by a single candle, the shaman's weathered face appeared kindly, like that of a sympathetic doctor, with painted red marks also suggesting a calm, fierce authority -- both qualities that I would rely on during the dark and uncertain hours ahead. He sat on a wooden stool carved into a tortoise, and wore turquoise beads around his neck and a crown of crimson feathers. A table beside him displayed the modest tools of the ceremony: a fan of leaves, jungle tobacco, a gourd bowl and a clear plastic soda bottle containing an opaque, brown liquid.
"You will start to feel a reaction in about half an hour," the shaman, Tsumpa, said, as my guide translated. "When the effects come, you must concentrate on what the medicine is trying to communicate."
The open air of the hut, animated with night sounds, grew still with expectation. Tsumpa grimaced as he drank the brew. After pouring a bowl for me, he cupped the gourd in his hands and for several minutes whistled a sweet melody into it -- the high key of a tin whistle or courting bird, seducing the plant spirits to aid me.
The potion tasted acrid and bitter. I rinsed my mouth with water before rolling tobacco into a plantain leaf cigarette.
And then I waited.
It was the final night of my weeklong trip to explore the Ecuadorean rain forest and an indigenous people, the Achuar, who, for more than a decade, have been using limited tourism as a means to preserve and protect their land and way of life. I had traveled by car, plane, boat and foot -- more than 100 miles from conventional civilization -- to reach a place where the old ways have not been forgotten, where local people interpret the world through their dreams and the forest spirit known as arutam is said to inhabit the mighty kapok tree, and where healing and insight is sought from a hallucinogenic plant brew the Achuar call natem, known elsewhere as ayahuasca, or "vine of the soul."
The shaman's two-floor yellow cement home was modest but the stateliest around. A square altar to Jesus, crammed with crosses and tiny portraits, stood in the waiting room. The shaman, named Don Esteban, emerged wearing a knit V-neck sweater and slacks, beaded necklaces and a yellow-feathered headdress. He beckoned us into the adjacent treatment room, which was sparse and dim and smelled of burnt sugar cane alcohol. I was directed to sit in the corner beside a desk cluttered with melted wax, glass balls, brown eggs and various other mystical paraphernalia.
"Andres espiritu, Andres espiritu," the shaman incanted. "Your spirit is not tranquil. It is sad, and longs for a new energy and path. It is struggling to balance your health, work and body."
I told him that my father had died two months earlier. "That is why there is sadness and disequilibrium," he said. "This ceremony, and spending time in the mountains with Pachamama" -- Mother Earth -- "will help make your spirit whole."

Credit the improving economy, or just the desire to stay out of the doghouse, either way, we will spend more this Valentine's Day than in the last 10 years, according to a National Retail Federation.
Valentine's day has become the 2nd largest consumer spending holiday, second only to Christmas. All this information coming from a survey of more than 8,000 people, conducted by consumer surveyor BIGinsight.
Total spending is expected to reach $18 billion.
Still, Valentine's Day spending this year will only inch up from last year. Last year, retailers were on the receiving end of about $17.6 billion in Valentine's Day spending. That's only about $4 increase per spender.
The average man will spend $168.74 this year, women will spend an average of $85.76.
According to the survey, almost 20% of consumers plan to give their pets a gift.

For what seems to be forever, Apple (AAPL) was the company that could do no wrong. Apple was the most widely touted stock from here to China. It was too risky not to own Apple shares. The icing on the cake came for me when I read an article about a group of individuals who had their entire life savings in Apple stock. I read that article about two or three months ago. Apple shares are down nearly 30% in the past several months.
Let me clear: Apple is a fantastic company that produces outstanding consumer products. When it reports earnings tomorrow, I suspect that its profits will be jaw-dropping. A year from now, Apple is likely to earn more money than it is earning today. Apple still remains the dominant leader in smartphones, and the iPad is the runaway tablet success. So why is such a company trading for $500, or 11x trailing earnings alongside a yield of 2%?
The reason, in my humble opinion, is that Apple's first-mover advantage is fading quickly. The iPhone debut in 2007 was a game-changer in the mobile phone market, and for the past five years Apple has dominated the smartphone market. Since it had no competition, Apple was easily selling phones for $500 or more and was also able to get carriers such as Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) to pay Apple $400 for each phone purchased with their contracts. Thanks to the iPhone and the fat profits it was generating, Apple shares advanced nearly 300% in the past five years.
But the undeniable forces of capitalism cannot be stopped. Last year, gross margins from the iPhone were 55%. The iPhone accounts for two-thirds of Apple's profits. So if you are Google (GOOG) or a Microsoft (MSFT) with billions of dollars in cash and you see a rival selling a product that has tremendous growth potential earning 55% gross margins, what are you going to do?
Google and Microsoft came flying in, and now Google's Android platform is a real competitor to the iPhone. And that means it's silly to assume that Apple will continue to get 55% gross margins from its iPhone. Yesterday, the market received confirmation: Apple is ordering fewer components from suppliers for the iPhone 5. The singular truth in technology is that over time, products get not only better but cheaper. I remember my family getting our first Compaq computer back in the early 1990s -- my parents paid $3,000. Today for less than $600, you can get a laptop that is 100 times better.
Google's Android is doing just that, providing the market with a comparable (better according to many consumers) smartphone for a fraction of the cost of Apple's iPhone. So what Apple must do now is shift its focus from selling an expensive product -- which it was able to do when it owned the market -- to selling a lower-priced model and increasing market share.
I uncovered a quote by the late Steve Jobs that sums it up: "What ruined Apple was not growth ... they got very greedy ... instead of following the original vision...to make the thing an appliance and get it out there to as many people as possible ... they went for profits. They made outlandish profits for about four years. What they should have been doing was making rational profits and going for market share."
The most surprising part about this quote is that Jobs said it in 1990. Apple's profits for the past five years have been outlandish, and they could not last forever. Going forward, Apple's goal should be market share, which it has been losing to the lower-priced Android. I suspect that even if Apple reports fantastic profits, if its average price for the iPhone has declined, the shares will sink further.
Understand that Apple still dominates, and the selloff is the market's reaction to what they see as the inevitable for Apple. I'd be shocked if Apple wasn't thinking about this moment a couple of years ago, and if it can successfully execute a plan that maximizes market share, then any further decline in price could be a very attractive entry point.

Bipolar Disorder (Children and Adolescents)
Connecting Bipolar Disorder and Lying
Is lying and being dishonest a symptom of bipolar disorder? The diagnosis has been made, but I can`t find any information on whether or not this is a symptom of severe bipolar disorder.
Hello and thank you for your excellent question. No, lying and being dishonest are not symptoms of bipolar disorder, as diagnosed by the main diagnostic text: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Version 4 (DSM-IV) published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). However, if lying and being dishonest are frequent, long-term and severe behaviors that cause impairment at home/school/friends, then they may be:
1. part of a diagnosis of Conduct Disorder, which frequently co-occurs with bipolar disorder and/or
2. an attempt by the child/teen to cover-up the problems caused by the bipolar symptoms.
I hope this answer helps with your enquiry. Best wishes!

is lamentable to see such attitudes, but bullying is real, and exists in several places, and it is certain that all kinds of people already suffering, we can see that even atistas already suffered or are suffering. bullying is a crime and practitioners should pay by its actions.

He taught his kid a lesson, but I think he could have been a hypocrit. He is bullying his son...to stop bullying? I think it is great he had his son stand out and take blame for what he did in public. He will probably never bully anyone ever again because of what he had to go through with. overall, i think that the dad went too far, but the results will be posotive.
Thabo Mophiring's comment, March 12, 2013 2:05 PM
article is awful, plays into patriarchal narratives of those who play victim, blah! blah!. There is an issue when a child claims bullying, child must be assisted and not accused of playing victim. If child is suffering for other reasons, deal with them, do not label it victimhood
Jeremiah's Hope for Kindness's comment, February 14, 2014 1:37 PM
It is always nice to hear when kids come out of being bullied and go on to enjoy their lives. But my concern is what people will take away from these stories. My concern is that it reinforces the myth that being bullied is a character building experience and therefore okay, maybe even good. My son didn't survive the effects of being bullied. My son, Jeremiah took his life at age 21 leaving pages describing the bullying he endured throughout his school years and the devastating impact it had on him. Bullying is violence and part of the cycle of violence that permeates our society. There are far more loving and respectful ways of developing character and strength that will break the cycle of violence and save millions of lives.

is an absurd the people who pass for this, deal with this issue is complicated.however, it is necessary to address this issue
spencer fouracre wootten's curator insight, November 14, 2013 10:44 PM
I do believe that every little thing can stop bullying. If one person stands up to a bully, he has not just helped the person who was being bullied, he is helping the bully and himself. The bully probably will not bully people again and that hepls the whole world. The less bullies, the less pain and suffering there is in kids in the world. The suacide rate for kids in America is horrible. We need to stop bullying from taking place.

The enchanting story of a Midwestern girl who escapes a family tragedy and is remade as a movie star during Hollywood's golden age.
In 1920, Elsa Emerson, the youngest and blondest of three sisters, is born in idyllic Door County, Wisconsin. Her family owns the Cherry County Playhouse, and more than anything, Elsa relishes appearing onstage, where she soaks up the approval of her father and the embrace of the audience. But when tragedy strikes her family, her acting becomes more than a child¹s game of pretend.
While still in her teens, Elsa marries and flees to Los Angeles. There she is discovered by Irving Green, one of the most powerful executives in Hollywood, who refashions her as a serious, exotic brunette and renames her Laura Lamont. Irving becomes Laura's great love; she becomes an Academy Award-winning actress—and a genuine movie star. Laura experiences all the glamour and extravagance of the heady pinnacle of stardom in the studio-system era, but ultimately her story is a timeless one of a woman trying to balance career, family, and personal happiness, all while remaining true to herself.
Ambitious and richly imagined, Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures is as intimate—and as bigger-than-life—as the great films of the golden age of Hollywood. Written with warmth and verve, it confirms Emma Straub's reputation as one of the most exciting new talents in fiction.
©2012 Emma Straub (P)2012 Penguin
"Straub's brisk pacing and emotionally complex characters keep the story fresh…This bewitching novel is ultimately a celebration of those moments when we drop the act and play the hardest role of all: ourselves." (O, The Oprah Magazine)
"Will appeal to any girl who has left a small town behind to follow her dreams to the big city." (Marie Claire)
Say something about yourself!
"Tarnishes the Golden Age - No Oscar For You"
Remarkable that Straub could take one of the most colorful, romantic, and history changing eras in Hollywood and make it as drab as black and white. The story is a pale glitterless shadow of the Golden Age of Hollywood where Straub uses infamous anecdotes about well known stars, places, events, even movies -- without any imagination of her own, tweeking the name or event just enough to be an associable facsimile, and sometimes almost silly. Great characters can carry a book that isn't plot-driven, but these ghostly dopplegangers are mostly boring cliches, (smalltown girl is discovered, the Jewish producers, the secretly gay handsome leading men, the addiction to prescription drugs written by studio doctors, big movies like...*Disappeared with a Breeze*...) such light weights they couldn't be paid extras in a movie. (Is this the same magical land that inspired a whole theme park?)
Molly Ringwald is a standout, adding the only golden element to this box-office dud. I am convinced it was her great reading that kept me from walking out of the theater. Hopefully she willl continue to lend her talents to performing books for audio.
Somewhere out there is a deluded publisher that believes anything will sell if it contains the word *Hollywood.* I wasn't bored to death, but regret moving this listen ahead of others in my library, and the time lost listening to Laura Lamont. No "hoo-ray for Hollywood" here.
"Tedious replay of a story often told"
At best this is a replay of a story often told about the unsophisticated young girl who goes to Hollywood to become an actress. It would have been a better listen with a different narrator. She just didn't carry it off. As for the story line, I was widowed with young children at the age of 46. I didn't lose my way or forget my children in my grief. Laura Lamont struck me as self-centered and immature, the kind of person who is all to well represented in our current society and who is, frankly, boring.

I've recently lost a little weight and I'm excited about that, but I need a little help reaching my goal weight. I got to thinking: maybe I could be more motivated if I were part of a contest or something.
Anyone else want to join in?
Here are some ground rules off the top of my head (this is up for discussion if anyone else has ideas):
10 dollar buy-in, winner take all, ties split winnings.
Set duration of time, maybe 3 months or something.
Weigh-in every week and post your progress (perhaps Mondays?)
Winners based on %, just like on the Biggest Loser TV show. Here's the formula: Beginning weight (-) Current weight (=) Weight loss (divided by) Beginning weight (=) Percentage of body weight lost.

"I could keep my calf hutches, or I could keep my wife."
It's a sentiment that Ken Nordlund has heard more than once from the dairy producers he advises. Now, there is a workable solution.
Nordlund, who is a clinical professor in the Food Animal Production Medicine group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says the brutal winters of the Upper Midwest have motivated some producers to seek alternative housing facilities for their calves. "They want an option that offers the environmental and health benefits of hutch housing, with easier maintenance and better working conditions for those who care for the calves," says Nordlund.
The result is a variety of configurations of "mini" calf barns, constructed of steel over a wood frame and often arranged in clusters of four to six units, usually sized to house 20 or more calves.
A worker-friendly alternative
Dan Smits, partner at Double S Dairy in Markesan, Wis., made the switch from hutches on his 1,200-cow operation three years ago. "I've got nothing against hutches in terms of successfully raising calves," says Smits. "They served us well for years, and many people do a great job with them. We just wanted something that was less labor-intensive and easier to manage in the winter."
Smits and his brother, Steve, transitioned from 160 hutches to four, single-row, 20-by-160-foot calf barns that house 45 calves each in individual pens. A deep gravel base saved on construction cost and reduces bedding needs, and a drive-through feed alley makes it easy to fill pails with pasteurized waste milk transported via a farm utility vehicle.
Curtained sidewalls open to the south, a feature that was a priority for Smits. The north sides also have 5-foot curtains that extend to 2-foot base walls. Both the east and west ends open with standard, 8-foot-wide garage doors, but Smits says they intentionally put automatic door openers only on the west end. "This requires us to back out after we fill pails, so we can observe the health and behavior of every calf at feeding time," says Smits.
Quality time with the calves
Moving away from hutches is not the only reason producers are adopting the new style of buildings. Evansville, Wis., dairyman Mike Larson says he and his family partners at Larson Acres, Inc. opted for the small buildings when they expanded to 2,400 cows in 2010. They previously raised their calves in a large, 120-stall barn that still is in use.
"We liked the option of completely emptying and disinfecting the buildings between batches of calves," says Larson. "And compared to hutches, this design allows us to spend quality time caring for the calves, regardless of the weather."
The Larsons constructed four, double-row barns that feature curtained sidewalls and concrete floors, with two floor drains per side. Each side holds 30 individual calf pens. When calves are taken off milk at seven weeks of age, half of the pen dividers are pulled, so calves are weaned in groups of two to promote socialization. They exit the buildings at eight weeks of age.
Larson says the building configuration makes three-time-a-day feeding of fortified pasteurized waste milk an easy job, and he credits the practice with excellent calf health and performance.
Flexible features
"All-in, all-out" — a term borrowed from the swine industry — often is used to describe these new buildings. In most cases, it's not quite true. That's because even the largest dairies do not have enough daily calvings to completely fill a single barn. But the buildings do offer a key benefit of the all-in, all-out concept — the ability to "rest" empty buildings between housings.
When a building is emptied of weaned calves, all pen panels can be pulled for easy clean-out with a skid-steer loader. At both the Smits and Larson dairies, the interiors and all of the pen dividers then are power-washed and allowed to sit idle for at least a week. "In our large, original calf barn, we never are able to get the entire building emptied out at one time," says Larson. "And compared to hutches, the clean-out of the mini barns is much easier. Two guys can scoop out, wash and re-assemble a building in less than two full work days."
Because the buildings are not heated, water does freeze inside in the winter, which requires the same vigilance in water feeding as is needed with hutches. But Larson estimates that the interior of the buildings is 10 to 15 degrees F warmer in the most extreme winter conditions compared to the outdoors.
The Larsons bed with straw year-around. The Smits' use straw in the winter and sand in the summer, and also use calf jackets in the winter.
In the three years both dairymen have been using the buildings, health and performance of calves have been excellent. Both dairies have maintained the 1-to-3-percent or lower death loss that they were achieving in their previous housing situations. "We have not sacrificed anything in calf health by moving into these buildings," says Smits. He and Larson both say that, with some minor adjustments, their buildings could be adapted to group housing with auto or group feeders.
As with nearly any construction project, Smits says there are a few things he would change if he was starting from scratch. "We would make the drive-through doors 9 feet wide instead of 8, and I'd like to be able to drop our north curtains a little lower to cover a solar front in the summer," he notes. "And we would build them further apart than the approximately 40 feet of spacing we have between them. We've found that because of their current placement, the air moves a little differently through each one."
Nordlund notes there is a substantially higher investment in these barns compared to hutches, but labor costs are reduced at the same time. There also will be advantages to the barns that are real, but difficult to measure. "The more consistent environment should make it easier for early detection of calves that need attention — something that suffers badly in hutches on windy and miserable days," he says. "The improved working conditions also should improve morale of employees and reduce turnover of people. And if that person is your wife, reduced turnover rate of people becomes a very big deal!"
"These buildings can provide excellent calf housing while offering a lot of flexibility in design and construction features to producers," Nordlund continues. "I think we will see a lot more of them dotting the countryside in the near future."
Ventilation is key
Excellent ventilation is a built-in feature of calf hutches, and often a challenge in larger calf barns. Central to the design of the new, mini-barns is supplementing natural ventilation with a positive-pressure, tube ventilation system that has been extensively researched by Ken Nordlund and his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in recent years.
The system consists of a suspended ventilation tube — constructed of a plastic or fabric duct — connected to a fan and fitted with discharge holes along the length of the tube to distribute fresh air evenly. The holes must be custom-designed so that the discharged air reaches the vicinity of the calf, but does not create a chilling draft. The fan draws 100 percent of its air from outside of the building. Nordlund says the goal of the system is to positively affect the micro-area around the calf, which can be especially challenging when calf pens are divided with solid panels.
Nordlund cautions that precise calculations for the tube size, fan size, air speed, and size and placement of holes all are important to making the systems work effectively. For fan capacity, he and his team use a target of four interior volume changes per hour through the tubes to supplement the naturally ventilated barns.
One critical factor for the uniform distribution of air from the tube is to size the tube according to its air handling capacity, not just its measurement in inches. Nordlund says a common mistake is to choose an equal match between the tube size and the fan — for example, a 14-inch tube and a 14-inch fan. "Technically, we size the tube so that air speed inside is held to under 1,200 feet per minute, but a reasonable thumb rule is that the diameter of the tube should be about 1.25 times the fan," says Nordlund.
The University of Wisconsin offers training on designing positive pressure, tube ventilation systems through The Dairyland Initiative, http://thedairylandinitiative. vetmed.wisc.edu/. Nordlund strongly recommends working with a builder or other professional who has completed this training.

PLANO, Texas JCPenney announced that it has been awarded a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Existing Buildings Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for its home office campus located in Plano, Texas. The 1.9 million square-foot building serves as a workplace for more than 5,500 associates and is the third largest campus facility in the nation to receive this designation, the company reported.
Over the last five years, JCPenney said it has addressed areas related to energy and water savings, indoor environmental quality and recycling waste by implementing nearly 40 sustainable improvements at its home office.
"As an environmentally-conscious retailer, JCPenney made a concerted effort to take a hands-on approach to making the improvements needed to achieve these LEED certifications," said Mike Theilmann, chief human resources and administration officer for JCPenney. "While purchasing renewable energy credits is an easier way to go 'green,' we chose to examine our operations and institute meaningful changes that will advance the Company's goal to reduce energy usage 20% by 2015."
