BARRINGTON — The plans to create a gravel pit off Greenhill Road will be back before the Planning Board tonight.
The gravel pit, which would be excavated in phases, would be located on a 100-acre site near the Rochester town line. The Planning Board will also hold a public hearing on the proposed plans at tonight's meeting.
During a previous meeting on the proposed pit, the applicant for the project, Trinity Conservation, LLC, agreed to pay for improvements to Greenhill Road, which would be required to support the truck traffic that would result from the excavation site. According to planning documents, trucks associated with the pit would be driving on the road approximately every 10 minutes.
Throughout the board's review of the proposed project, residents from both Barrington and Rochester have expressed concerns about the potential excavation area coming near their neighborhoods. The gravel pit would be located in proximity to homes on Stillwater Circle and Jessica Drive in Rochester, as well as Greenhill Road homes in Barrington.
On April 30, Rochester Mayor T.J. Jean wrote a letter to the Barrington Planning Board, at the request of the Rochester City Council, stating that a number of Rochester residents are concerned about the project.
"The City Council is also concerned about its residents and the potential impact on Rochester roads," stated Jean in his letter.
He asked the Barrington Planning Board to consider and address each of the issues noted in the Dec. 31 Regional Impact Review letter from the Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC).
The SRPC reviewed the proposed project in the fall, as the gravel pit is considered a project of regional impact. Among several recommendations, the review states that personnel working on the job site should be made aware of the potential encounters with protected turtles in the proposed gravel pit area, particularly during turtle nesting season. The review also recommends sufficient vegetation buffer between the pit and the homes on Stillwater Circle, and requiring the use of a decibel meter during blasting operations.
According to planning documents, blasting operations will take place at a ledge near the gravel pit once every month or two.
Tonight's Planning Board meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Early Childhood Learning Center at 77 Ramsdell Lane.

Fujifilm Finepix x100
You know the Fujifilm FinePix X100 is unusual the minute you lay eyes on it. The camera looks like an old Leica rangefinder. There's an optical viewfinder on the left side (who includes optical viewfinders on compact cameras?). And there are dials for setting aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation. Didn't Fujifilm get the memo that we're supposed to muck around in annoying on-screen menu systems if we want to change settings by hand?
Next in the cavalcade of peculiarity: the lens. It doesn't zoom, and you can't swap it out for a lens that does. This is the kind of old-school lens that makes photo enthusiasts drool. It's largely distortion-free and very fast—at f/2.0, it's ideal for low-light and nighttime photography.
Another oddity lies under the hood: its 12.3-megapixel image sensor is the same size you'd find in a full-size digital SLR. Combined with that superb lens, the X100 delivers professional-quality images in a camera you can carry anywhere.
The shooting experience is mostly a pleasure. The camera handles well, and the rear LCD display can be customized, from a clean shooting environment to one overlaid with such setting details as a grid for precisely lining up shots and even an on-screen level indicator.
Fujfilm created a unique hybrid viewfinder system combining the best of optics and electronics. The optical viewfinder lets you see everything clearly, even when brilliant sunlight makes the LCD hard to read. Thanks to clever engineering, electronic data can be displayed as an overlay on that optical image. Sometimes, though, an optical viewfinder falls short —if you're shooting a tight close-up, for example, and need to see exactly what's in the shot. In that case, just flick a switch and a fully electronic display, same as on the rear LCD, is displayed in the eyepiece.
Then why "mostly a pleasure"? The rear command dial is hard to press accurately and the settings menu disappears too quickly. Autofocus isn't as fast or accurate as it should be, and it can feel sluggish between shots.
The price is another oddity for a compact camera. At $1,200, it's in line with a mid-level SLR. But, thanks to top-tier photo quality, easy-to-operate manual controls, innovative viewfinder technology and great portability, serious shutterbugs are snatching these off store shelves as soon as they arrive.

For the past decade or so, Steve Poltz has enjoyed indie-label-sized celebrity and a healthy level of musical notoriety as the leader of the Rugburns, a group of satirical semi-twangers from San Diego. But after years of whiskey-soaked tours to small clubs across America, he's now marking time in the big leagues thanks to One Left Shoe, his solo debut on Mercury Records. And who does he have to thank for his ticket to the top? She goes by the name of Jewel.
You read right. Poltz, who on the 1994 Rugburns album Morning Wood sang the line "Satan's in the bagels, and my toaster's masturbating" was once romantically involved with fellow SoCal songster Jewel Kilcher, and the two remain good friends and frequent musical collaborators to this day. In fact, Poltz co-wrote the acoustic-guitar-slinging starlet's biggest smash, "You Were Meant for Me."
For Poltz, the song's popularity has meant platinum royalties, greater credibility as a composer and friends in high places--but the perks are what excite him most. "I went to the Super Bowl this year," enthuses the devout San Diego Chargers fan, who pulled for the Broncos during the game. "It was cool. And I got a really good seat, since Jewel sang the national anthem."
The effect that "You Were Meant for Me" has had on Poltz's life and career is a still a bit hard for him to believe, especially considering the tune's humble origins. "Jewel and I were surfing down in Baja, California, one day, just hanging out," he recalls, "and we wrote it on the back of a cocktail napkin." His first instinct, he recalls with a chuckle, was to turn the earnest ditty into a gag: "After we wrote it, in my sick little way of thinking, I wanted to change the lyrics to 'you were meant for meat' and give it to the Meat Council or something. We'd do a real punk-rock version of it and have a guy on the cover holding ground beef in his hands."
Luckily for Poltz, he didn't get the chance to rework the composition--and the next thing he knew, he says, Jewel "had gotten a record deal with Atlantic. We had written a bunch of songs together, and if her record had sold 30,000, we'd have been happy. But all of a sudden, it was a hit song; we knocked 'The Macarena' off the charts. Now it's the longest-running song on the Billboard Top 100--it set the record."
How has Poltz handled his sudden success? "You're talking to the same guy who wrote 'My Car Phone's on the Pill,' so I take all of this in stride," he points out. "I feel like I tricked someone. I'm waiting for someone to say, 'Look, we were just kidding.' It's funny."
Most of One Left Shoe isn't. The disc is a collection of sweet, understated little numbers that will appeal to lovers of introspective, observational songsmithing. Adherents of Poltz's former girlfriend will be pleased as well; Jewel guests on the platter and shares songwriting duties on four numbers. One of these, "Silver Lining," is an instantly catchy confection that's garnering airplay on adult-contemporary stations. But although such exposure should insure that Poltz's current solo tour will last for a while, it's no guarantee that Rugburns loyalists into the band's more raucous, irreverent side will be thrilled.
"Oh, yeah, some of them want to kill me--and these songs might be a shock to some people," Poltz concedes. "This is a side of me that I was probably too much of a wuss to ever show before. But that's okay, because most of the fans are really liking them. The bottom line is, you've got to please yourself. It gets old being in a bar band, and I've done it for years. That's why I wanted to try something different. I just wanted people to see that I had some different kinds of songs. And so many of the people who had seen me solo kept asking me when I was going to do a solo record. It was bumming me out, because I felt like I was selling myself short as a musician by not playing some of these songs."
Poltz didn't land his Mercury deal solely on the strength of the Jewel connection; he'd been offered solo contracts long before the rise of Ms. Kilcher, but he turned them down in favor of staying with the band. Following the departure of a pair of Rugburns members, however, he finally jumped at the opportunity to establish a new identity for himself. He got an important assist from producer J. Steven Soles, who enlisted the studio help of heavyweights such as Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, Leland Sklar and Van Dyke Parks during the making of One Left Shoe.
"Part of picking a producer is getting somebody with a good Rolodex," Poltz says. "Steven knows all these guys and was able to get them tapes of my songs, and they really dug them. It was so mind-blowing for me to do this record--to be playing live with all these people and to have them ask me how I saw these songs and how I wanted them. I have millions of albums with these guys on them, and they're asking me these questions. It was a dream come true."

On the road, Poltz is playing without the safety net of back-up musicians; he's doing the solo troubador thing. "At first it was really scary," he notes, "but the more you do it, the better it gets. I've done hundreds of shows since Christmas, and I've only been home for three nights since then, so I've got my show down more. I get nervous every time, and I still start feeling nauseous about three hours before I go on stage. But when I'm done, I'm so happy. It's a really fulfilling experience and a challenge, because sometimes Rugburns fans show up and they do get mad because it's such a different show now. But I still write really strange songs, and then I'll write love songs--and in my show, I like to showcase all of those sides. There's something wrong with me, I guess."
Despite his newfound status, Poltz continues to operate on a relatively small scale. "I still live on my $25 a day per diem, I still have an '89 Ranger at home, and I still have the same little beach apartment that I've had for years. And I buy all my clothes at thrift stores, because I like polyester." He's also appeared at a handful of "living room" dates, wherein he'll set up shop in the parlors of fans who sell seats to friends and family. Because of his rising stock, the shows (inspired in part by similar concerts by California-based songwriter Cindy Lee Berryhill) might seem like a surprising gesture, but Poltz doesn't see them that way. These up-close-and-personal gigs are appealing, he says, because "you're not in a noisy bar; you're getting people who are really there to listen to your songs, and you're getting to meet each other, because it's a more intimate thing playing somebody's house. You don't go into a bar and say, 'Now, who are you?' You just don't do that. In this day and age, we don't interact as much. We're in the age of mass media and mass images, and this is kind of a little folksinging thing.
"That's what I like about what I'm doing right now and not playing with a band," he says. "My show's about telling stories and playing songs that make people laugh. It's not about a light show."

HELL TO PAY is the eagerly awaited third installment in Wendy Corsi Staub's trilogy that began with LIVE TO TELL and continued in SCARED TO DEATH. The storylines of the preceding volumes are very complex, though Staub leads readers deftly through each of them; it is worth noting that reading the first two books will provide those new to the series with a wealth of information that is pertinent to the current offering. The narrative, though, stands on its own, with Staub's trademark twists, turns, surprises and thrills carrying the day.
"The narrative...stands on its own, with Staub's trademark twists, turns, surprises and thrills carrying the day."
The novel concerns, in part, a unification of a sort for the Walsh and Cavalon families, which heretofore had only a shared tragedy in common. Lucy Walsh and Jeremy Cavalon both narrowly escaped death after childhood encounters with a serial killer; they are married and awaiting the birth of their first child as the book opens, after experiencing two tragic miscarriages. Their lives are not without stress; Jeremy's grandmother dies unexpectedly in what is erroneously believed to be an accidental fall, an event that coincides with the couple being suddenly and unceremoniously evicted from their apartment. They move into her vacated home in New York, a change that will give them the opportunity to save money to purchase a place of their own.
Jeremy, however, has a history of mental instability --- one that is understandable yet frightening. He appears to have conquered his demons, yet there is always the chance that they will manifest themselves once again. And while the move puts Lucy closer in proximity to her beloved but somewhat aimless brother Ryan, something is going on with him that he will not share with his sister. He is being especially secretive about Phoenix, his new girlfriend, who is just as secretive about herself. But what Lucy and Jeremy do not realize is that they are being observed and orchestrated by someone who is patiently waiting to complete a project that was initiated years before.
Some money here, a plate of cookies there, and things begin changing for Lucy and Jeremy in ways they never would have hoped or expected. Things become very, very dark for the couple; not everyone (maybe nobody) around them is who they seem to be. And before the last page is turned, they could well lose everything they have, and the chance to have everything they have ever wanted.
A warning: Do not become too emotionally invested in any particular character you meet here. Not all of them make it to the end, and at least one of those who do may leave you disappointed. However, you will not be disappointed in HELL TO PAY. Staub relies upon subtle clues and even more subtle misdirection to guide her readers down some wrong and right turns, speeding things up and slowing things down as necessary. In case you have a faint heart, sometimes the suspense becomes excruciating. Staub can take something as ordinary as an apartment building airshaft and compel a reader to think of it in an entirely different way.
If a full-length novel of such quality isn't enough to entice you, an excerpt from NIGHTCRAWLER, which will publish in 2012, will not only tempt you, but also keep you waiting impatiently for next year.

Target to Price Match Amazon, Amazon Prime Comes to Canada

Canadian residents cannot partake in the free e-book lending service for Kindle or TV/movie streaming
The brick-and-mortar stores have spent years battling Amazon for its low prices, lack of tax collection,
cheap/fast shipping
, etc. But now, Target has announced that it will match Amazon and certain other competitor's online prices year-round.
Target said that it will now match the prices of rival websites year-round including Amazon, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and Best Buy.
Target typically does this over the holiday season, such as its most recent price match program from November 1 through December 16. However, as online shopping continues to grow in the U.S., the company is embracing this method year-round.
According to Target, it will offer a price match when a customer purchases an eligible product at a Target store and finds the same item for a lower price in the following week's Target ad or a local competitor's printed ad. It will also offer a price match if a customer finds the same item for a lower price within one week at the website of one of the above-mentioned competitors.
While this gives Target a competitive edge, Amazon isn't sitting put while rivals rise to the occasion. Amazon recently expanded its Prime services to Canada, where residents can pay the $79 annual fee for guaranteed two-day shipping.
However, unlike the U.S. version of Amazon Prime, Canadian residents cannot partake in the free e-book lending service for Kindle or
TV/movie streaming
. Amazon said it isn't planning on offering these options in Canada.
Amazon Prime launched in the U.S. in 2005 and typically costs $79 per year, but the e-tailer recently launched a
monthly subscription option
as well for $7.99.

Yesterday I told you that roughly half our breakfasts are yogurt. Well, I'd wager another good 40% of our breakfasts are oatmeal. Sometimes I just make rolled oats in the microwave, and other times I'll make Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Hot Cereal (also a favorite for bran muffins: carrot raisin and cranberry orange).
Hot cereal is a favorite of our whole family, and we call it "porridge" to distinguish from grits and microwave oatmeal. I love steel cut oatmeal, but I used to lament that 30 minutes is just too long to spend on a breakfast that's so similar to one that can be accomplished in less than 10. Then my Uncle Ronnie told me about how you can get around that lengthy cooking time, which brought steel cut oats back into our weekly repertoire. You just boil oats and water for a minute, cover the pot, and let it sit overnight on the stove. In the morning, a quick zap in the microwave or a few minutes on the cooktop gives you a meal in the same amount of time as the quick stuff but with fantastic texture.
This is not so much a recipe as a trick, is it? But it's a great trick, and if you've been making steel cut oats the long route, I guarantee you'll gain 28 minutes to your day if you try oatmeal this way. You can mix it up and add dried fruit (chopped apricots and cherries are delicious), diced apple, or mashed bananas. You can swap some of the oats for quinoa, flax seeds, or chia seeds. And you can also trade some of the water for almond, rice, or coconut milk. There are many variations to keep it interesting.
As I said, this meal hardly seems worthy of "recipe" status, but I'll give you the amounts that I use.
overnight steel cut oatmeal
serves 3-4
4 c. water
1 c. steel cut oats
pinch of salt
- Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan with a lid.
- Add oats, reduce the temperature a bit, and boil for one minute while stirring (note: if you don't watch and stir it, it will boil over).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in any additional ingredients desired, and cover. Let it sit overnight for at least 8 hours.

Finding the Palmyrene army drawn up before Emisa, amounting to seventy thousand men, consisting of Palmyrenes and their allies, he (Aurelian) opposed to them the Dalmatian cavalry, the Moesians and Pannonians, and the Celtic legions of Noricum and Rhaetia, and besides these the choicest of the imperial regiment selected man by man, the Mauritanian horse, the Tyaneans, the Mesopotamians, the Syrians, the Phoenicians, and the Palestinians, all men of acknowledged valour; the Palestinians besides other arms wielding clubs and staves.
At the commencement of the engagement, the Roman cavalry receded, lest the Palmyrenes, who exceeded them in number, and were better horsemen, should by some stratagem surround the Roman army. But the Palmyrene cavalry pursued them so fiercely, though their ranks were broken, that the event was quite contrary to the expectation of the Roman cavalry. For they were |27 pursued by an enemy much their superior in strength, and therefore most of them fell. The foot had to bear the brunt of the action. Observing that the Palmyrenes had broken their ranks when the horse commenced their pursuit, they wheeled about, and attacked them while they were scattered and out of order.
Upon which many were killed, because the one side fought with the usual weapons, while those of Palestine brought clubs and staves against coats of mail made of iron and brass. The Palmyrenes therefore ran away with the utmost precipitation, and in their flight trod each other to pieces, as if the enemy did not make sufficient slaughter; the field was filled with dead men and horses, whilst the few that could escape took refuge in the city.
I bought these Palestinian Clubmen and three blisters of legionaries from the A&A miniatures Middle Imperial Roman range at the second hand stall at Wintercon in Canberra recently. I've been meaning to start a Middle Imperial Roman army for some time but at $15AUD a blister these were almost half price and impossible to resist!

Record bullish sentiment on the U.S. dollar means ETFs pegged to the unloved euro would benefit from a a potential "short squeeze" in the currency if investors get any positive news on Europe's debt crisis or further central bank intervention.
Bullish bets on the dollar among institutional investors are at record levels, Dow Jones reports.
Additionally, negative euro sentiment as measured by investors betting on a fall in the value of the currency also recently hit record levels, according to the report.
PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (UUP - News) is down more than 1% so far in June, which has provided a lift to stocks and precious metals like gold. The currency ETF's index measures the dollar's fluctuations against a basket of currencies.
The dollar ETF has eased back following May's spike on Eurozone debt fears. UUP saw only five down sessions last month.
Some Wall Street currency analysts like Geoffrey Yu at UBS are saying that excessive dollar longs and euro shorts means a short squeeze in the euro could be in the cards.
A short squeeze occurs when investors betting against a currency or security are forced to buy to cover their short positions.
A stronger euro and weaker dollar could provide a boost to U.S. stocks and would signal receding anxiety over European debt and banks.
Long futures contracts on the U.S. dollar held by noncommercial speculators have been at record highs for three weeks in a row, said Chris Kimble at Kimble Charting Solutions in a note this week.
There are a "good more dollar bulls" than the 2008 and 2010 highs, he added.
In other words, being long the dollar looks to be one of the most crowded trades out there currently.
CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE - News) in June has rebounded from a 52-week low. The currency ETF tracks the performance of the euro versus the U.S. dollar. FXE would benefit from a short squeeze in its underlying currency, the euro.
Trading volume in the ETFs tracking the dollar and euro — UUP and FXE — has trended lower in June after last month's action, says Paul Weisbruch at Street One Financial.
Overall in the options markets for these currency ETFs, the theme has been bullish sentiment on the dollar ETF (UUP) and bearish sentiment on the euro (FXE), he added.

Drs. Allen and Au participate in the Congress in Canine Orthopedics
By Kristine McComis
During the first week of June, 2009, two orthopedic surgeons from The Ohio State University Veterinary Hospital flew to Bogotá, Colombia to participate in the Congress in Canine Orthopedics held at the University de la Salle. Dr. Sergio Aria of Colombia had initially contacted Dr. Matthew Allen, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, via email to invite him to participate and demonstrate a knee replacement surgery. Since it was the university's first conference in canine orthopedics, organizers wanted some outside professors to share their knowledge about the advancements that are being done in the field in other parts of the world. As they corresponded, it became clear that the Colombians were interested in learning techniques for other procedures, so Dr. Allen invited colleague Dr. Jennifer Au, Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, to accompany him for a week's visit in a country where resources are limited but enthusiasm for learning is great. About 75-100 veterinarians and veterinary students participated in the conference.
Dr. Allen presented lectures on "Total Elbow Replacement" and "Total Knee Replacement" and led wet labs demonstrating total hip replacement and total knee replacement procedures. Their surgery suites didn't have quite the same amenities that we have at Ohio State, but he adjusted to their older instruments and praised the veterinarians for making the best of working in a place with limited resources. "There were limitations with the availability of power tools," he commented. "The conditions are not ideal, but they do a great job with what they've got to workf with."
Dr. Au lectured about two topics: "Difficult Fracture Management" and "Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Osteosyntheses (MIPO)". She also led a wet lab demonstrating MIPO which is a way to repair fractures without exposing the entire bone. This causes less disruption to the blood supply and allows for better healing and less chance of infection. She also held a round table discussion regarding decision making on cranial cruitiate injuries.
Veterinary medicine is not a lucrative career in Colombia, and many veterinarians carry quite a bit of debt from veterinary school. The veterinary program is a 5-year program which commences immediately after high school, and after completion, the students complete a six month internship at the university or in a private practice to earn their certificates. Specialty surgeries are not done very often. A total hip replacement surgery costs a mere $200 there, as opposed to $4,500 here, but that is all they can afford to charge for the procedure, or no owners would be able to have it done. Dr. Allen commended their veterinarians for their drive to work with limited financial rewards and was very impressed with their knowledge and skill. He hopes to continue a relationship with their veterinary program in their future.
"One of the best things out of the trip was the connections we made", he said. "Their graduate students would love to come here and spend some time in our clinics and research labs, and I think it would be great if we could arrange that in the future".
Dr. Au agrees. "It was a wonderful experience to see how they do things there and experience the culture", she said. "It is great for OSU and I hope we continue the interaction".

California Moonbattery again.
The council's Energy and Environment Committee forwarded its strategy for banning bags at 7,500 stores to the full council, comparing the change to laws requiring seat belts or banning smoking in restaurants.
The vote occurred despite objections from workers at a plastic bag manufacturer who said their company would be devastated if bans are passed throughout the country.
"I will be losing my job, losing my insurance. Please take that into consideration," said Norma Fierro, an employee of plastic bag manufacturer Crown Poly, whose managers had warned that a city ban could prompt the layoff of between 20 and 130 employees.
Councilman Paul Koretz said he expected that Crown Poly would need to eliminate only a small number of positions. And he compared the company to makers of horse-drawn carriages at the start of the 20th century.
"I'm the last one to allow for layoffs in L.A. city, and I fight them hard," he said. "But I've never stood and said that if a job doesn't make sense anymore, that we've got to keep that job."
Yep, I'm sure that Councilman Koretz knows Exactly what shape Crown Poly's finances are in. Businesses have been fleeing California for decades because of 'Feel good' actions like this.
No wonder the state is in such terrible economic shape.

When Quinto isn't having bromantic relations with his Star Trek co-star Chris Pine, he's making fun short films, producing, directing, and starring in hard-hitting dramas (still haven't seen Margin Call?, you should) , getting filthy for photo shoots—or answering random fan questions. That's right. Cuz he's just a nice guy like that.
Like when he stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon the other day and responded to fan questions from Tumblr users. Now that takes cojones! When he was asked what actor, dead or alive, he'd love to work with, he ended up having an unexpected answer:
"You mean work with them like being in something with them or like build a house? Like work with them as an actor? I would like to build a house with Oprah who is not necessarily, like, an actor first, but she's actually an amazing actor. She's got a new movie coming out as well. And I'd like to be in a movie with Meryl Streep because, right, like, right? I'm sticking by it."
Yeah, we'd love to see Zach, Oprah, and Meryl in a film together. Why not?

text: Hello everybody, I would like some suggestions as to what to take on a future trek. I say "trek", its more just "walking all day in English/Welsh countryside over terrain that may occasionally be steep". Ive realised that the distance I can comfortably walk is directly proportional to the weight on my back (Im a genius, I know) so I'd really carry as little as possible - ideally nothing at all but I do need a backpack for water/food/extra layers. This puts me in a dilemma about what to take. Normally I would just bring my DSLR and SLR, but together they add up to a fair amount. So What combination of DSLR (Nikon D3100)/SLR(Olympus OM-2n)/Film compact (Olympus Stylus 115)/Digital compact (Sony W-30) should I use? I only have a 35mm/1.8 lens for the Nikon so I'd get pretty much the same images as I would with the Olympus (see sig.) Regarding film I have a choice of TMAX 100,400 (2x36 at each speed) and a stash of slightly expired (May 2011) HP5 and FP4 - I got 7 rolls for £10.95 delivered - if you were watching it on eBay yes that was ME! Thanks for any advice

Inference of Network-Service Disruption Upon Natural Disasters
Large-scale natural disasters cause external disturbances to networking infrastructure that lead to large-scale network-service disruption. To understand the impact of natural disasters to networks, it is important to localize and analyze network-service disruption after natural disasters occur. This paper studies an inference of network-service disruption caused by the real natural disaster, Hurricane Katrina. The authors perform inference using large-scale Internet measurements and human inputs. They use clustering and feature extraction to reduce data dimensionality of sensory measurements and apply semi-supervised learning to jointly use sensory measurements and human inputs for inference.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Villalobos Rescue Center Pets in the Hood Inc, New Orleans, LA, USA
My daughters and I visited Villalobos in NOLA to drop off some donations. We were greeted immediately, signed in and given a tour by both volunteers and staff. Everyone was incredible friendly and open. I was amazed and impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the kennels and facility. In the middle of summer with 100= dogs there was not one dirty kennel or dog and not a SINGLE dog smell. Each dog area was immaculate.
PLEASE consider making a donation!!!

There were no alarms or smoke at St. Alexius Thursday, but a group of firefighters arrived just the same in their big, red fire truck. Parked outside the Medical Center, out of the truck came four firefighters and their chaplain, but they didn't enter with hoses… they entered with two large, red sacks of Christmas presents!
The firefighters visited St. Alexius' The Children's Center to give kids an opportunity to have some fun, despite being hospitalized and sick or injured. Each child received a wrapped gift. Older children received their choice of free movie or bowling passes. Not only did the kids and their parents have fun, the firefighters had fun too!

Wedding murder accused duo bailed
Prosecutors have failed in a High Court bid to block the release from custody of a father and son accused of killing a relative at a family wedding.
Mr Justice Burgess dismissed the appeal against bail being granted to Patrick and William McGinley, aged 46 and 27, after predicting any trial might not get under way until 2017.
The judge described the investigation as "a complex and time-consuming".
Both men are charged with the murder of 63-year-old Bernard 'Barney' McGinley in Newtownbutler, Co Fermanagh, on February 11. The victim was shot dead in front of his wife outside St Mary's Church, where the Traveller wedding ceremony was to take place.
William McGinley is also charged with the attempted murder of the dead man's son, Bernard McGinley Jr.
The two accused, both from Lisfarrell in Edgeworthstown, Co Longford, must each put up a £50,000 cash surety as part of their release conditions.

Super League: Salford City Reds sign Huddersfield forward Jon Molloy
Salford City Reds have signed back-row forward Jon Molloy from Huddersfield Giants on a three-year contract.
Last Updated: 06/03/13 3:37pm
The 21-year-old joined Huddersfield from Wigan's academy three years ago but has spent the off-season recovering from injury.
Molloy met up with his new team-mates at the National Cycling Centre in the Manchester Velodrome, where the squad were training under the direction of Team GB cycling coaches.
"I'm about three weeks away from fitness and raring to go," Molloy told the club's official website.
"This is an exciting club going places and I am happy to be a part of the future here."
Salford are bottom of the Super League table after losing 38-4 at home to fellow strugglers London Broncos on Friday, with head coach Phil Veivers sacked in the wake of that defeat.
Reds were take over by millionaire racehorse owner Dr Marwan Koukash in January and recently failed in a high-profile bid to tempt Wigan star Sam Tomkins to the Salford City Stadium.


text: Although I've seen it mentioned now and again in various threads, to not have a unique thread for a film like this is a crime. Luckily, I have an excuse, as filming starts today in Rome. A quick synopsis: The Life Aquatic is being described as an adventure comedy. It follows the wacky adventures of "an oceanographer and his crew on a series of wild deep-sea adventures, including the search for a shark. The Cast: (Taken from WesAnderson.org) Bill MURRAY as Steve Zissou Owen WILSON as Ned Plimpton Anjelica HUSTON as Eleanor Zissou Jeff GOLDBLUM as Bill Ubell Willem DAFOE as Klaus Daimler Cate BLANCHETT as Jane Winslett-Richardson Peter STORMARE as Unknown Character Bud CORT as Unknown Character Edited, Shot, and Scored by Wes Anderson regulars David Moritz, Robert Yeoman, Mark Mothersbaugh respectively. Is anyone else as excited about this as I am? Wes Anderson has done no wrong in my book, and this looks to continue in his tradition of incredible films. Great cast, bizarrely unique plot, I don't think there's any doubt in my mind that this is my most anticipated movie in production at the moment. It doesn't hurt that Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums are two of my favorite movies of all time either. Here's a link to the website with more news and info if you're so inclined:http://www.wesanderson.org/lifeaquatic/index.html Lowell

Scientists are predicting that this summer's oxygen-starved "dead zone" in the Chesapeake Bay will be unusually bad - fueled by a wet spring that washed a heavy dose of nitrogen into the bay from the Susquehanna River and other tributaries.
Donald Scavia, a University of Michigan aquatic ecologist, who makes annual forecasts of "dead zone" sizes in the Chesapeake and Gulf of Mexico, thinks the amount of bay water with little dissolved oxygen in it will be the largest since 2003 and the sixth largest ever recorded. See the UMich forecast here.
Nitrogen - from sewage plants, fertilizer washing off land and vehicle and power plant pollution falling out of the sky - is one of the key drivers of the bay's hypoxia, or low-oxygen condition. The amount getting into the bay has increased significantly since the 1950s, Scavia says, and this year's estimated load is the highest in more than a decade. Not surprising, since river gauges measured unusually strong spring flows down the Susquehanna - the single biggest water source for the bay.
Scavia's prediction tracks with the preliminary forecasts of bay scientists, who a few weeks ago foresaw a "moderately large" volume of water with no oxygen in it at all from spring into mid-July. If conditions don't change, they predicted this summer's dead zone could be the fourth largest in the past 26 years.
(Note that the Michigan and Maryland scientists are measuring slightly different things. Scavia tracks "hypoxic" water, which still has a little oxygen in it but not enough for fish and shellfish to do well, while the Maryland-based group has focused so far only on the truly "dead zone," anoxic water with no oxygen at all in it for crabs and other critters to breathe. Eco-Check, the Maryland-federal scientific partnership, has yet to issue its prediction for the broader hypoxic zone in the bay.)
Variations aside, the general forecast is tor a rough summer for striped bass, blue crabs and oysters, points out Beth McGee, senior scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. When oxygen levels in the water drop, fish and shellfish become stressed.
Some might wonder why the bay's dead zone can still be so bad given the billions of dollars spent on cleanup - this past fall, for instance, Maryland farmers planted a record number of acres in "cover crops" to soak up excess nitrogen in their fields that would otherwise wash into the bay in spring. McGee points out such efforts take years to influence water quality; much of the nitrogen from farm fields gets into the bay via ground water, she notes, and can take a decade or more to seep out into surface streams.

Romney launches GOP response at Dem convention
Republicantthinkstraigh Anywhere but, Utah, UtahSept. 6, 2012 6:48 p.m.
Are you asking the right question? Are you, personally better off, or is the country better off? Well lets see... Not in Iraq anymore, stocks have doubled, job gaining instead of job losing, housing market strengthening, no more Osama, and finally we are drilling for more oil than ever before in this country. Jobs are behind yes, but you can't put all that on the president Period. Congress shares blame too and last I checked the House is majority republicans. Major companies are experiencing all time highs in revenue but are sitting on the money. That is why we are not getting jobs. Take walmart for example, ever been to Walmart in Murray 4500 S 900 E. Let's just say go there about Nine pm and see how much fun you have dealing with 200 customers and 3 people at cash register. While 3 managers walk around. Waited 1 hour to check out. Proved to me they don't care about jobs or service, only about MONEY. This whole question of whether we are better off is not even close.... Yes we are better off and yes I support our President, we all should, stop the hate.
patriot Cedar Hills, UTSept. 6, 2012 1:01 p.m.
this is a great strategy and I am pleased to see the GOP really turning up the heat. This is an honest question - no lies and no hype. The question - ARE YOU BETTER OFF - is something every unemployed and underemployed worker can answer in a heart beat and no amount of DNC spin is going to change that. All the Greek columns and Holywood hype in the world isn't going to answer the simple question - what is 2013 going to be like for me and my family. At the end of the day "it's the economy stupid" as one former democratic strategist once proclaimed. Barack has no answers - at least no believable ones.
Badger55 Nibley, UtSept. 6, 2012 10:58 a.m.
Just one question. If we are better off today than when Obama was elected, why are Americans less enthusiastic about the President? His convention in Colorado had something like 80K+ people attend. If we truly are better off than 4 years ago and people were that crazy about him, that means people are more enthusiastic, right?

He was a liberal by any standard.

For anyone who believes in the Judeo-Christian worldview, today the DNC Platform decided to do these 3 things: remove the word God from their agenda. Then they will not support Israel. And finally they want taxpayers to pay for all abortions. Yikes. Now please tell me why anyone with a vestige of belief in our American heritage, history and values including our Judeo-Christian foundations would ever vote for a Dem liberal pol. I cannot believe Americans have gone that insane.

Things are better now than 2009.
romney said, in January 2012, that things were getting better.
When interviewed by one of the Fox News experts, about that statement, romney told the Fox News expert the statement was true.
But think how much better, how much faster, the economy, foreign policy, the defense contractors bottom line, immigration and healthcare will improve as a result of hiring an expert like romney, in Nov. 2012.
In the first 100 days of his reign
The expert has promised 12,000,000 new jobs.
The expert has promised unemployment will be at 3.7%.
The expert will force China to fear us and forgive all of our debt.
The expert will have us in a war with Iran.
The expert will enable Defense contractors to make a financial killing.
The expert will make sure all illegal immigrants self deport.
The expert has promised the ACA will be repealed and replaced the first day of the experts reign.
Why will all of this take place within the first day up to the first 100 days of the experts reign?
We are hiring an expert.

hmm, am I better off now than 4 years ago. Well, yes and no. I feel less free and less sure of the continuation of some freedoms. But because of my own planning and fearing the worst case scenario, I have lower my debts by cutting the fat so to speak, and doing without a few things. I took a low paying night job to help myself financially. (Boy am I tired) I am more aware of our government's elitist attitude than I was four years ago. I fear for my family as energy policies move or are "nudged" unto place by progressives that will cripple our economy long term. Things will get ugly when trucks can't afford to haul food from the fields to the stores due to Obama and other liberal nutcases manufacturing crisis after crisis in order to look like heroes. Sounds way too much like USSR's or N. Korea's faking strength to maintain control. Evil people run in high circles within our gov. We will rue the day we let them in and didn't kick them out. Mark it down!
JWB Kaysville, UTSept. 3, 2012 8:07 p.m.
The military has been after Obama since President Clinton was in office. His administration had Bin Laden on low key as that was war like, as the Cole, etc. President Bush was only in office for 8 months when 9/11 happened and that changed the whole aspect of what happened for the next 8 years. We had officially been attacked on our soil by international terrorists. The various agencies for several years knew there were events happening and it grew to a crescendo and that was after an administration wanted to cut back on the military and use them only for his advantage.
This administration just happened to have a break as Bin Laden finally got complacent and was comfortable in the Pakistani military officer living quarter area. Time was on our side but it was not due to our State Department and Military working together with a cohesive administration. The military does what they are trained to do, if they have the proper resources and support.
We will see what happens before the election to see how the President really supports the military as he really doesn't want that legacy as that is war

Of course we are maybe a little closer to being better off because we were so far down that the Dem's decided to spend our way into prosperity with "shovel-ready jobs." Surely anyone can see that it didn't work and the debt we've incurred on our children and grandchildren will be tremendous if Obama gets 4 more years. I'm just mystified that Nevada Repubs couldn't get a better candidate to defaet Harry Reid. So here's the question for tha campaign: "Since the recovery has been so slow using the Dem's tactics, who feels they can last 4 more years to see if it gets back to where it ought to be?" Is 8+% unemployment really a thing of which to be proud? The employment situation, lack of a federal budget, messing with health insurance by FORCING everyone to join and then enforcing rules against people's conscience, lack of defense of the Marriage Act, the standstill on illegal immigration, continued war, slowly lowering our defense capabilities and screaming about the rich not paying taxes (they pay the most) makes good oratory, but LOUSY NATIONAL POLICY.

Are we better off than we were four years ago? Does anyone remember September 2008? Lehman Bros and Bear Stearns were going bankrupt. The stock market was in the process of shedding over half its value, and we were nearly a year into a recession that nobody wanted to believe existed. People were afraid that we were going to be in bread lines. Are we better off? By a great distance.

Congress may have an approval rating of 17%, but how do you feel about your local congressman? That's the real question. You can't replace anybody else's. That's why their approval rating is so low. If you approve of the job that your congressman is doing, then what are you complaining about. The fact of the matter is that most Americans approve of their congressman.
Only 28% of Americans are better off. . . what a disappointment. How many Americans were better off after Reagan's first 4 years? I know that I'm not better off. Although, I did just get a job. . . after being laid off for almost 2 years. The job I took pays 9 dollars an hour at 32 hours a week. The last job I had paid $30,000 a year. Quite a difference. I will not be voting for Mr. Obama, again, but I confess. . . I did vote for him in '08. I didn't trust McCain, but I can't trust Obama anymore. . . he hasn't done anything that I "Hoped" for. . . so my vote has "Changed".

What is the current inflation rate? What has the overall rate been since Obama took office? Inflation has not been an issue, so why (except to deflect or change the subject) are you bringing it up?
I note you dodged my question regarding your investment performance since Obama took office.

David Axelrod, told "Fox News Sunday": "I think the average American recognizes that it took years to create the crisis that erupted in 2008 and peaked in January of 2009. And it's going to take some time to work through it."
If Romney wins or President Obama is re-elected, chances are we will see an improvement in the economy. Four years ago we were in a free fall, obviously ! tax cuts and two wars bankrupted the country. Now finally we are seeing the signs of recovery.
I think the most amazing achievement is that despite the blind and intrasigent opposition of the "NO" congress, we have seen a recovery in the country.
For the first time in the United States of America we are on the way to provide affordable health insurance to most Americans.

Wow... Obama got some love from the first several posters...
I hear that Obama is going to get some former BAIN Capital employees to speak against Romney at Obama's convention.
The Republican Party went looking for former employees of Obama... But could not find a *single* one...
All joking aside... Well, there was some serious truth to that...
Are we better off now compared to when Obama got elected. Obama promised the world. Obama promised that he would be a 1-term President if everything wasn't completely turned-around. He promised just about everything and the kitchen sink. Oprah *cried* at his innauguration. Broken dreams, broken promises.
We have a President who has used class-warfare in an attempt to divide the country. We have a President who has levied the largest taxes against average citizens in history (and he lied and said his healthcare tax wasn't a tax.)
Liberals will say that Obama's decision to divide the country through class-warfare is a *good* thing... The problem... Obama "promised" to "unite" the country...
Are you better off than you were four years ago? I am not. My healthcare costs have gone up significantly...

Please tell us whether your 401K plan (or IRA, or other responsible investments) has gone up or down, and by what percentage, since President Obama was inaugurated on 1/20/09. Mine has almost doubled.
The claim that we are anything like Greece sounds good, as a talking point, perhaps to uninformed or uneducated people who don't understand that we are nothing like Greece (for example, we can print money and they can't).

As many have said over the years, the "truth is in the pudding" can come to light with some comments or questions surfacing at an important time for the Democratic Party's convention. The media won't publicize what needs to be asked so it is wise to be where the party's leaders are meeting together to get the straight answers and not just fact-checkers forms of dishonesty to show the other person is dishonest. Questions need to be surfaced as there are a lot of questions about what has happened over the past 3 1/2 years with a President that said he would be forthright and transparent. He appears to have been less transparent than any other President in recent times. His Secretary of the Treasury was of questionable nature when going through the appointing process and hasn't been able to do his job with those types of questions still out there. If the economy was so important to this President why did he choose an elitist and person without integrity? Obamacare, 16 percent of our economy was not necessary to improve our economy. If it isn't really broken, don't fix it.

I have to agree with Emajor.
You can find lots of people who are significantly better off than they were 4 years ago.
We were losing 700,000 jobs per month 4 years ago. Now we are gaining jobs.
In Nov 2008 the S&P 500 was below 900 today it is over 1400.
So, 4 years ago, the economy, the stock market and the housing market were all in a steady decline. Today? All are in MUCH better shape.
How about this for a new GOP tagline
"Is your 401K better off now than it was 4 years ago?
I suggest that the GOP find another measure. That one does not make their case.

If Romney were to become president he would implement corporations (corporate people) as instruments to turn the USA into a nation of haves and have not's the same as in Mexico and other plutocratic nations where the privileged rich own and control everything and the rest of the less privileged working class are serving the interest of the rich in a servant society with little opportunity to compete with the rich or to become rich, and with few rights or voice in their employment or lives.

No, the question is will I be better off if republicans have thier way with policy again.
If Romney wins, I will assume it will be harder to put my daughter through college in a few years when he privatizes loans again and makes them more expensive, cuts grants and college funding.
I can assume we will be headed towards a war with Iran and I may lose some young relatives again. That will also cost a lot of money again.
I can assume if Romney wins I will have even less rights to assemble as a worker and low wage countries will be given more advantages in one sided trade agreements.
Romney wants to cut taxes for the wealthy and tack on $2000 a year to my taxes.
I won't be better off if Romney is president.
Bush cost me 10's of thousands of dollars with the policies he and republicans passed. No thanks.
Emajor Ogden, UTSept. 3, 2012 12:17 p.m.
"Team Obama can't say the country is better off after four years,"
Actually, they can. We are in an economic recovery. The problem is that it is not happening as rapidly as everyone wants. Team Romney can't honestly say that Republican policies would have made the country better off, but they will anyway. They have an election they want to win, and they won't risk using honesty if it decreases their chances of winning it.
"If we want a new direction, we need a new president."
No, we need a new Congress. You know, the legislative body that currently has an approval rating of about 10%? The legislative body that cannot accomplish anything substantial because they all hate each other and have vowed to destroy each other?

Gallery: Basigin/EMMPRIN Antibody #12314
Basigin/EMMPRIN Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Basigin/EMMPRIN protein. This antibody may cross-react with a protein of unknown origin at ~80 kDa in some cell lines.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val226 of human Basigin/EMMPRIN protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Basigin (EMMPRIN, CD147) is a type I integral membrane receptor protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (1). Basigin is a glycosylated protein with four known isoforms, of which isoform 2 is the most abundantly expressed (2). Multiple functions have been ascribed to Basigin; foremost among these is stimulating the secretion of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases by adjacent fibroblasts, a function which has been implicated in promoting tumor progression (2-4). Research studies have shown that Basigin is overexpressed by many tumor cells, and its expression level may correlate with tumor malignancy (5,6). A recent study identified the BASIGIN gene as a regulatory target of Slug, suggesting a role for Basigin in the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (7). Basigin has also been identified as a marker for a subset of highly suppressive regulatory T cells (8), and as an obligate receptor for the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum on human erythrocytes (9).

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Saudi Arabia has asked the United States for technical services to recertify the functional shelf life of its Patriot missiles.
The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the recertification would be for as many as 300 Patriot Advanced Capability-2 missiles and would be provided under a Foreign Military Sales contract worth an estimated $130 million.
Included in the modernization arrangement, if approved by Congress, would be associated equipment, parts and provision of logistics support.
"The proposed recertification program will allow the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces to extend the shelf life of the PAC-2 missiles in its inventory for an additional 12 years," the agency said. "The proposed recertification program will not alter the basic military balance in the region."
Raytheon would be the prime contractor and would perform the recertification process at a U.S. Army depot in Pennsylvania.
The agency said only one contractor representative would need to travel Saudi Arabia on an extended basis for missile assembly/disassembly support, system checkout, training and other support.

Directed by Steven Yuhasz, the show will also feature Tom Galantich, Richard Thieriot, Adria Vitlar and Nicholas Urda.
"A spirited young woman makes a sexual accusation which checkmates her father, a popular and respected pastor," a synopsis said. "They have been estranged for years by a deep grief. Will she follow through? Will he fight back? Even the psychiatrist who tries to help becomes conflicted when middle age romance develops."

WASHINGTON - Two key White House aides await their fate in the CIA leak probe after a prosecutor spent three hours before a grand jury that could hand up indictments and rock the Bush administration.
A spokesman for the prosecutor said there would be no public announcements before today, the day the grand jury's term expires.
The White House braced for the possibility that Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, could become a criminal defendant by week's end. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, remained in jeopardy of being charged with false statements.
Libby and Rove arrived for work at the White House Thursday as usual. Rove attended the daily meeting of the senior staff, but Libby did not and was said to be in a security briefing. Libby misses senior staff about half the time because of intelligence briefings and other issues on Cheney's schedule, an official said.
Separately, Randall Samborn, a spokesman for Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, said there would be no announcements in the probe on Thursday.
Rove's legal team made contingency plans, consulting with former Justice Department official Mark Corallo about what defenses could be mounted in court and in public. Fitzgerald met with Rove attorney Robert Luskin at a private law firm office Tuesday, heightening White House fears for Rove's future.
In 2003, eight days after former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson accused the Bush administration of twisting prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat, columnist Robert Novak disclosed the identity of Wilson's wife, covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.
After checking with Rove and Libby, the White House categorically denied that either aide was involved in leaking Plame's identity.
Fitzgerald was appointed nearly two years ago to determine whether any presidential aides violated a federal law that prohibits the intentional unmasking of an undercover CIA officer.
The prosecutor also has discussed other charges with defense lawyers in recent weeks, including false statements, obstruction of justice and mishandling of classified information.
The grand jury's term expires today, and the panel met with Fitzgerald's team for about three hours Wednesday before adjourning for the day. The administrative assistant to Thomas Hogan, chief judge of U.S. District Court in the nation's capital, disclosed that Hogan met with Fitzgerald. The assistant, Sheldon Snook, declined to say what was discussed.
Prosecutors wrapping up a criminal investigation can meet with the chief judge to request that a new grand jury be impaneled or simply to inform of impending indictments.

How to reduce smartphone data bill shock
Mobile data has gotten amazingly cheap in the past year. You can now get over 5GB of data on a postpaid plan for less than $100 and there are prepaid plans from newcomers like Red Bull Mobile and Amaysim that come with an astonishing 4GB of data for a $40 recharge.
But even so considering most things you do on a smartphone use up data it can be all too easy to use up that generous monthly allowance without realising it. This isn't a problem limited to power users either — many first-time smartphone users aren't even aware of how much data things like YouTube streaming and talking on Skype use up until they get their first phone bill.
The big three mobile carriers charge 25c for every megabyte that you go over your monthly allowance which isn't too bad if you keep an eye on your usage throughout the month. But if you're not careful you could be in for a rude shock once your bill comes in the mail to the tune of hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of excess usage charges.
There are lots of ways you can monitor your data usage and also minimise the amount of data your smartphone is using. All carriers have online portals where you can check how much data you've used that month although the usage displayed there can be up to 24 hours behind. There are other ways to check usage depending on who your carrier is.
Telstra users have it the easiest; once you reach 80% of your monthly limit you automatically get an SMS sent to you and you get another one once you reach 100%. Vodafone users can either call 1512 or send a blank text to that number to find out what your data balance is while Optus offers both iOS and Android apps that let you check your usage — and according to an Optus rep we spoke to recently the company will soon be rolling out SMS usage alerts similar to Telstra's.
There are third-party apps available that can keep an eye on your data usage as well. DataMan Pro is one of the better apps for iOS with real-time alerts that appear once you go over any one of the four thresholds. Since it uses the iPhone's usage statistics rather than your carrier's there's no time delay for reported usage like there is when you use your carrier's portal. 3G Watchdog Pro is the equivalent app for Android users with cool extras like widgets advanced usage prediction and the ability to factor in specific billing rules like not including uploads or billing by blocks of data.
When it comes to minimising 3G data usage on your smartphone all the usual tips apply such as switching over to Wi-Fi whenever you can and turning off notifications (for iOS) and background data and auto-sync (for Android). You can also minimise the data used in specific applications using the excellent Onavo app (for iOS and Android) which manages this by compressing data before it's downloaded to your smartphone.

Jenny McCarthy Looks for Love on Dating Website, Actress Calls Hollywood Men Wimpy
Jenny McCarthy recently revealed she uses an online dating website because the men in Hollywood are not man enough.
McCarthy said she has a profile on Match.com during her appearance on the "The Rosie Show" earlier this month.
The actress also said men in Hollywood are different then men in her hometown of Chicago.
"I'm from Chicago. I'm from the South Side, where guys eat meat and potatoes. They don't know what a vegetarian means. They're a guy through and through," said McCarthy in an interview at the American Music Awards on Sunday. "Out here, they want to borrow my makeup and concealer. I want to bring a little bit of importing into my life hopefully, and look for guys outside of LA."
"It's tough to find a man's man," she added.
McCarthy also claims appearances are not important.
"I don't care if they have a big nose. I don't care if they're bald. Just really sweet and who's a perfect reflection of who I am now," McCarthy said.
The actress said she has a picture of her pregnant sister on her Match profile to prevent contact from guys who just want to date a celebrity.
McCarthy weighed in on the media's effect on celebrity relationships.
"If you get caught up in people's perceptions a little bit too much, it can overtake the relationship. When you're on the street and people are hounding you and saying things over and over again, it's really hard to keep that wall up and pretend it doesn't bother you," she said.
"We're all human, so no matter what, it's going to hurt. It will chip away at even a good relationship," McCarthy added.
McCarthy dated Jim Carrey for five years before the couple split in April 2010.

The Event
Directed by Thom Fitzgerald
Written by Thom Fitzgerald,
Steve Hillyer and Tim Marback
Starring Don McKellar, Parker Posey
and Olympia Dukakis
Classification: 14A
Rating: **
The new movie from Thom Fitzgerald ( The Hanging Garden) is titled The Event though, frankly, it isn't much of one. Here's a movie about AIDS and euthanasia released 20 years after the onset of the AIDS epidemic, a decade since the Hollywood AIDS movie Philadelphia, and seven years after Randall Kleiser's similarly themed It's My Party. Though it uses the September, 2001, World Trade Center attacks as background, the movie feels like a nineties' artifact, less the AIDS-crisis wake-up call it purports to be than a melodramatic free ride.
The opening scene shows the body of Matt (Don McKellar) being pushed into a body bag by paramedics. From there, the narrative unfolds in Citizen Kane-style flashbacks, as a brittle assistant district attorney named Nick (Parker Posey) interrogates Matt's colourful family and friends. Gradually she uncovers their conspiracy of kindness and reconstructs the circumstances leading to Matt's death.
Right away, the setup presents the viewer with a couple of credibility hurdles: Posey, the neurotic indie-film queen, toddles about Manhattan affecting a come-and-go New Yawk accent like a debutante playing dress-down. Then there's the peculiar nature of her crusade. Though we are offered large hints that she's working out guilt issues about her father's death, are we expected to believe that, in the months following Sept. 11, New York's D.A.'s office is obsessed with investigating slightly premature AIDS-related deaths?
In any case, it becomes an excuse for the film's interrogation-room flashback structure, a format much loved by television police procedural dramas. Nick's first interview is with Brian (Brent Carver), an agitated AIDS hospice worker and friend of Matt's. The interview chain proceeds with Matt's plucky and wise Jewish mother (Olivia Dukakis), his actress sister (Sarah Polley), and disapproving elder sibling (Joanna P. Adler).
The flashbacks take us from Brian's first meeting with the bon vivant Matt on an airplane to Matt's physical decline and the ever-increasing aggregation of barely sketched characters that become part of his life.
Soon, Matt ends back at his mother's New Jersey home, bedridden and incontinent, before he makes the decision to have his suicide party, which leads to the deep plunge into bathos in the film's final act.
Matt, still on his feet to the last, waxes sardonic. The inclusive parade of eccentrics include the butch but flamboyant drag queen who videotapes the event; a precious New Age lesbian therapist (Jane Leeves of Frasier fame), and Matt's resilient mom and overwrought sister.
Fitzgerald has made non-stereotypical casting choices (straight actors playing gay, Canadians WASPs playing New York Jews), which may have been at least partly dictated by co-production financing restraints. Apart from Parker, the performances are off-kilter but not too jarring, and McKellar's cocky but understated charm and Dukakis's telegraphed stoical suffering are an interesting fit.
Some of Fitzgerald's other choices are much harder to fathom. The film, shot on digital video in smoky grey, blue and sepia, looks deliberately dull, or, as several viewers have noted, like a sub-standard Law and Order episode. The soundtrack is a baffling hodgepodge, featuring improbable seventies' Cancon rhythm-and-blues selections (Lighthouse; Blood, Sweat and Tears) along with a contemporary number, the spooky, ethereal I Fell in Love With a Dead Boy by Antony and the Johnsons.
The latter song arrives in time to set off a series of Matt's postdeath messages (a videotape, a phone message), which begin to feel like a revenge on the living, an annoying series of jerks on the same mawkish chain. Whether the viewers leave the theatre in a puddle of tears or in high irritation, the problem withThe Event remains the same: It's a movie about a nice guy with a lot of friends who dies. It's not really about the wider tragedy the film aspires to represent.
