Angelina Jolie has come forward with news that she underwent a double mastectomy after genetic testing showed she had a high risk of developing breast cancer.
The 37-year-old Oscar winner, who began the surgery in February and finished in April, opened up in a New York Times op-ed pieced titled, "My Medical Choice."
"I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under five percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," the mother of six wrote.

The actress, who lost her mother to cancer in 2007, says she has a "faulty gene," which doctors said gave her an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of ovarian cancer.
Partner Brad Pitt was by Angelina's side during her procedure.

"I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has," she continued.
Jolie detailed the process in her piece, which includes receiving implants. The couple's children can now only see a glimpse of what she went through.
"It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that's it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can," she wrote. "On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."

Adding, "I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options. Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of."

PBS Arts from Cleveland: Women Who Rock will premiere tonight on PBS. The documentary celebrates the legacy of female musicians in rock, featuring interviews and live performances by trailblazers such as Bessie Smith, Mahalia Jackson and Mother Maybelle and contemporary stars such as Heart, Darlene Love, Deborah Harry, Bonnie Raitt and Le Tigre frontwoman Kathleen Hanna. Rolling Stone caught up with Cyndi Lauper, the host of the program, to chat about what inspired her to get involved with the film, and her favorite female rockers from yesterday and today.
How did you get involved with the Women Who Rock documentary?
I always have been saying [the Rock & Roll Fall of Fame] should include women. I was in Cleveland and I took my cousin's son to see it, because he wanted to see it, and they asked if I wanted a VIP tour and I said "Not really, because you don't really include women in your curation here." There's hardly any women, and I feel funny walking this kid around, explaining who the women were who were around at the time. The curator looked at me and it just so happened that there was a young woman who was trying to get them to do an exhibit of women in rock and they came to me, maybe because of that. You know, everybody grows and hopefully it will be more inclusive. I'm really glad they included the women they included.
I had an argument with a well-known, not a rocker, a folker – I wouldn't call him a rocker – and he was inducted. But he was a part of the rock & roll culture, I guess. And he was telling me he was going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and they were going to induct Elvis. And I said, "What about Big Mama Thornton?" And he said, "She's a blues person," and I said "Yeah, but she made that song popular and now it's a rock song." And I said "And also, what about Wanda Jackson?" And he said, "There were no women in rock." And so it's fortunate, at this time at her age, she is finally being acknowledged for the work she did. She was always a rocker and she still rocks.
Did you feel a kinship with other female musicians who were kind of coming in around the same time as you back in the Eighties?
Well I had my alter-image, Madonna [laughs]. No matter what I did, there she was, and no matter what she did, there I was. And it wasn't similar and it was never intentional. We inspired each other. I am inspired by her because she still does it and she looks great and I'm always on a diet, I can never keep a diet, but she looks fantastic, she always does, so that's inspiring.
Do you think having her around made you raise your game as an artist?
No, in the Eighties I was really heartbroken that they would pit us against each other. Because I've always believed sisterhood is a powerful thing and I just wanted to have a friend in the industry. Another rocker. But they always isolate you when you become popular, when you become famous and then you're isolated all of a sudden. Nobody can get to you, I guess because everybody wants to get to you.
Is there anyone coming up right now that who has impressed you?
Yeah, there's a few of them, Nicki Minaj, but she's been around for years, I've heard her on other people's music. She's fantastic. When I came out as a solo artist, or even in Blue Angel, we knew then that you wouldn't just listen to music, you'd see it, and that music would forever be changed that way. And for me that was very exciting because I always saw myself more as a performance artist. And you know, people like Lady Gaga, who is a performance artist, it's really inspiring to see her and even to work in a campaign with her. I think that you can mix art and music and that's exciting.
I think Deborah Harry was always exciting. She influenced us with her fashion sense and the throw-back to the old movie star, that kind of fifties movie star look. It was really exciting to see her. That was exciting. When I was in Blue Angel I used to go watch Blondie. We were all rooting for them. We wanted someone to make it out of New York. So it was either going to be Blondie or The Shirts. And the Shirts didn't quite make it. And The Ramones, we used to go see The Ramones. They were from New York!
It was an amazing time. The possibilities were endless because there was a possibility. But the thing is, there's always a possibility. It got so industrious that people couldn't develop anymore. It got so industry-heavy. I think now that the industry is changing so dramatically, it now opens the door for more people. I think even women, but you gotta use the internet, you gotta use your smarts, you gotta be on top of it. And I think unfortunately, there aren't a lot of club scenes anymore. And that was important for people to grow. It's starting especially in New York, it's starting in Brooklyn a little bit, but it certainly isn't what the East Village was to us back in the day.

It was inevitable. After hundreds of books about Savannah -- her squares, her houses, her monuments, her ghosts, her gardens -- it was just a matter of time before someone would write a book about her dogs.
All the better that many of the 136 entries in Frederic Beil's upcoming book, "Savannah Dogs" -- including one by Patches Fishman, don't you know -- were written by the dogs themselves.
We knew we had the dogs. But who knew we had such talent?
"Well, I'll make this quick," starts off Mercer Bowyer, "because if my mom finds out I can type, she'll have me vacuuming in no time."
Bella, like Mercer, came from a shelter.
"There she was, in the very last cage of the very last row at the Savannah Humane Society," writes Alyson Beasley. "There were four other people on the list to adopt her, but Providence moved, and Bella was mine!"
Bella, Beasley writes, "has the energy of a marsh sprite or a tree fairy."
But others were foundlings.
"First, let me say I'm a pretty cool dude," writes Jiffy Wylly. "I'm white, curly and cuddly and have a healthy hooter -- in other words, a big nose. My former owners didn't love me. No sir, they didn't. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dumped me off at the Jiffy Mart. I was barely 8 months old."
Jiffy slept in an old inner tube, hoping the rats wouldn't hear his rumbling stomach. Pretty soon a nice lady in a Jeep pulled up. A little while later he woke up in a large white house.
Today he finds himself on Christmas cards. He has a Harley-Davidson leather outfit and on St. Patrick's Day his coat is dyed green.
"I'm spoiled rotten," he writes. "And do you know what? I love the name Jiffy. Oh, excuse me! I'm being called for my brushing."
Flower's essay -- her name is short for Flower Pot -- is in the form of a diary.
"Some days being a corgi can be so annoying!" she starts. "Can't see out of the car window, my neck hurts from looking up all the time, and my underbelly gets filthy from being so close to the ground!"
There are four dogs named Maggie, two called Daphne and quite a few with titles: Lady Katherine of Chatham, the Duke of Alaska, Count Bernard of Berkhoff, Miss Yo-Yo Maya Cain Kaminsky and Prince Maximillian Lvov.
Katie is 13, a bichon frise and blind.
Nick is mayor of Monterey Square.
Oskar can knock on his friend David's door and let himself in for a jerky stick.
Daisy Ford loves coffee.
Chutney, a Shar-pei, has a sense of poise and cat-like tidiness.
Lucy, a former street roamer, writes that when she met her owner, Robin Gunn, "I knew we were in the paws of destiny."
Sandy Dales is a golden retriever with a secret life. Every day when her owners leave she jumps the fence, picks up her friend Freckles who unlatches the gate to her pen and the two of them spend the day at the marsh.
When her owner comes home and says something silly about her getting out again, Sandy writes, "She had no idea."
Minnie McQuillen Beil, a sturdy black four-legged being who edited the book, was adopted at PetsMart.
"Having had 20 blissful minutes of Minnie's little heart beating against mine," writes Mary Ann Bowman Beil, wife of the publisher, "I was reluctant to end this engagement. Deric was adamant, so I pushed the puppy onto his chest and announced emphatically, 'Okay, we can return this sweet little creature to her life of abandonment, but you will have to put her in the grocery cart yourself.'
"Once on Deric's chest, Minnie looked up into Deric's face. It took all of 30 seconds, if that, for Deric to issue the following mandates: 'Go get my dog a leash. Go get my dog some dog food.' "
The proceeds from the book, which is due out next week, will go to Humane Society of Chatham-Savannah, Pet Assistance League of Savannah, Save-A-Life Animal Welfare Agency and Second Chance Dog Rescue and Referral.
Jane Fishman's column runs Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. She can be reached at 652-0313. Her e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution found itself in an eerily familiar situation last weekend against FC Dallas.
Clinging to a narrow one-goal lead entering the game's closing stages, the Revs could be forgiven for allowing thoughts of their previous four matches – in each of which they conceded second-half leads – to creep into their consciousness.
But this time was different. The Revs remained on the front foot and pressured Dallas coming out of the back, goalkeeper Matt Reis made key saves at critical moments and Rajko Lekic added a killer second goal as the Revolution snapped a lengthy winless run with a 2-0 victory.
"I think it does a lot for our confidence," said Chris Tierney, who's tied for the team lead with four assists. "We've been playing really well lately. I think we've been unlucky not to pick up more points. But we're happy with the way we're going forward and scoring goals, and just getting those first three points on the board in awhile is definitely going to help our confidence."
Particularly important for the Revs was the method in which they claimed victory, exorcising their recent demons by turning an early lead into three points. Shalrie Joseph's 14th-minute goal marked the 10th time in their last 12 matches in which the Revs scored the first goal, but it was just the second time in which they were able to capitalize with a win.
The boost New England received from its slump-busting victory keeps the club within sight of the postseason, but more importantly it provides the Revs with an injection of self-belief as they prepare to visit the Portland Timbers at the typically raucous JELD-WEN Field on Friday night.
"We needed that win, especially being 1-0 up and being able to hold on in such a hard game against one of the better teams in the league," said Joseph. "It helps our confidence and it helps us going into Portland (knowing) that we can definitely hang onto a lead and definitely be a better team if we do what we need to do."
Knowing they possess the ability to maintain a slender lead could prove vital for the Revs in Portland, where they hope to once again wrest control of the proceedings in the early stages and limit the crowd's involvement from the outset.
"We've played well on the road recently," said Tierney. "We've scored a lot of goals so hopefully we can get a couple early ones, silence them and take them out of the game."
"I think it's important that we jump on them even though we're the road team," Joseph echoed. "They're in a desperate situation, too, so they're going to be pushing a lot of numbers forward and they're going to be trying to score early just as we're going to try to do. If we can get that early goal and create opportunities, I think we're going to get those points that we need."

1 Touchscreen > Honeywell's Tuxedo Touch touchscreen enables users to centrally control security and automation functions, such as temperature and lighting. It has a bright, full-color, 7-in. display and uses a built-in controller that communicates with devices, such as thermostats, lighting controls, shades and locks, using the Z-Wave communications protocol. A built-in web server gives users the ability to control the system using Wi-Fi-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, PCs and Internet TVs, regardless of operating system.
2 Lighting Control > Panasonic's Full-2Way panel components provide a building-block methodology for implementing lighting controls. Components are connected by a low-voltage (24V), polarity-neutral two-wire system using star, branch and/or T topology.
3 Room Control Module > Kieback & Peter's RBW30x-L room control module application is a bus-capable room-control module with an LCD display. Different variants with a graded range of functions are available: Room temperature control, time and date display, weekly schedule, fan control, and presence button (present/absent). Models with two, four or eight additional keys also are available. Each key can be assigned to different functions (e.g., light or blind control). It can be used on a network.
4 Lighting Control > Home Automation Inc.'s Omni-Bus lighting control network uses a worldwide standard for mounting DIN-rail, allowing load control of CFL, LED, electronic low-voltage, halogen and incandescent light sources. It is designed for the 220-240V/50Hz international marketplace. The products are broken down into four segments: core products (required), load control modules, switch interfaces, and accessories.

Raúl Rubio: "Collecting & Curating Cuban: Memory, Museums, and Material Cultures"
Raúl Rubio on Cuban material culture
Monday, May 19, 2014
4–5:30 p.m.
Location: Humanities Building 2212
Parking Information
Category: Lecture
Professor Rubio will offer an overview of his research on Cuban material culture, which examines a wide-range of artifacts, from cultural commodities to the museum archive. His talk will focus on the popularity of "things Cuban," which he argues thrive because of the proliferation of addictions to fantasies associated with representing Cuba and consuming Cuban identity, given the historical positionality of the island. These fantasies are created by multiple sources, including Cubans themselves, inclusive of the Cuban diaspora, and also global sources, who have fetishized both the nation and nationality. Professor Rubio's presentation will engage in the analysis of the aesthetic realms found in print, photography, social media, museums, and Cuban-oriented objects at-large.
Raúl Rubio is Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Literature at John Jay College of the City University of New York (CUNY). A Hispanist and cultural studies scholar, his research is grounded in the emerging interdisciplinary field of material culture, which examines a wide-range of artifacts, from cultural commodities to the museum archive.
Professor Rubio's book La Habana: cartografías culturales was published in 2013 by the Aduana Vieja press of Spain. The book examines the worldwide fascination with Cuba and things Cuban during the last century, particularly envisioning how the city of Havana, is more than a scenic backdrop, having become the nation's most visible protagonist and its foremost player, perhaps second only to Fidel Castro. His publications have appeared in numerous academic journals, including: Studies in Latin American Popular Culture (U. of Texas Press), Letras Hispanas, CiberLetras, Espéculo: revista de estudios literarios (Spain), Caribe: revista de literatura y cultura, and in the books Cuba: Idea of a Nation Displaced (SUNY Press, 2007), Narratología y discursos multiples (Editorial Dunken, 2013), Living with Class: Philosophical Reflections on Identity and Material Cultures (Palgrave, 2013).

Triple treat: Test cricketers who scored the first triple ton for their countries
Former cricketer Hanif Mohammad was the first Pakistan player to score a triple century in Tests for his country. On his birth anniversary, let's look at batsmen who were the first to score a triple hundred for their respective countries.
Hanif Mohammad - 337
(Pic/ AFP)
Country - Pakistan. Opposition - West Indies. Fours - 24. Sixes - none. Date - 17 January 1958.
Hanif became the first Asian to score a triple century. He built strong partnerships with batsmen as Pakistan declared with 657 on board. Hanif played for an astonishing 970 minutes - the longest innings in Test cricket history. West Indies put up a tough fight with Everton Weekes and Conrad Hunte scoring big centuries that helped draw the 6-day Test.
Don Bradman - 334
(Pic/ Midday archives)
Country - Australia. Opposition - England. Fours - 46. Sixes - none. Date - 11 July 1930.
'The Don' was the second batsman to score a triple century and created the highest individual score at the time. His second and third wicket stands with Bill Woodfull and Alan Kippax respectively proved fruitful. This remains the only instance where a batsman score a triple Test hundred in a single day. The match ended in a draw.
Andy Sandham
Country - England. Opposition - West Indies. Fours - 28. Sixes - none. Date - 3 April 1930.
The first triple hundred scored in Tests. Sandham went on to build efficient partnerships for the first, second and fourth wickets as England posted a massive 849 runs. The match ended in a draw but Sandham created history. At 39 years, he is still the oldest triple ton scorer in Tests. This was Sandham's last Test match.
Sanath Jayasuriya - 340
(Pic/ AFP)
Country - Sri Lanka. Opposition - India. Fours - 36. Sixes - 2. Date - 2 August 1997.
The Lankan batsman put on a mammoth partnership of 576 runs along with Roshan Mahanama who scored a double century. Sri Lanka declared at 952 runs for 6 wickets which is the highest team total in Test history. Although, the match was drawn, these innings will be remembered.
Virender Sehwag - 309
(Pic/ AFP)
Country - India. Opposition - Pakistan. Fours - 39. Sixes - 6. Date - 28 March 2004.
Sehwag became the first and only Indian cricketer to score a Test triple century. His partnership with Sachin Tendulkar was another highlight of the match as Sachin scored an unbeaten 194. Sehwag reached his triple ton in trademark style by hitting a six and remains the only cricketer to do so ever. India won by an innings and 52 runs.
Garry Sobers - 365*
(Pic/ Midday archives)
Country - West Indies. Opposition - Pakistan. Fours - 38. Sixes - none. Date - 26 February 1958.
The West Indies veteran scored his first ever century in Tests and in style. He also went on to hold the record for highest individual test score for 36 years before Brian Lara broke it. West Indies won the match by a huge margin of an innings and 174 runs.
Hashim Amla - 311*
(Pic/ AFP)
Country - South Africa. Opposition - England. Fours - 35. Sixes - none. Date - 19 July 2012.
Amla shared important partnerships with Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis. He became the first and only Proteas cricketer to score a triple century. South Africa went on to win the match by an innings and 12 runs.
Brendon McCullum - 302
(Pic/ AFP)
Country - New Zealand. Opposition - India. Fours - 32. Sixes - 4. Date - 14 February 2014.
McCullum became the first and only Kiwi cricketer to score a triple hundred in Tests. In the match he and Watling put on a record partnership of 352 runs for the sixth wicket. This is only the second instance ever, where a triple century was scored in the second innings after Hanif Mohammad.

Why is it that the biggest corporations get the Biggest tax breaks???? Heres a link to The Huffington post,with a story of a report from The Greenlining Institute, a research and public policy non-profit based in Berkeley, Calif.It says that Apple only paided 9.8 % on their 2011 taxes,Google only paid 11.9 %,Microsoft paid 18.9 %,Xerox paid 7.3 %,and Amazon only paid a 3.5 % Tax Rate.How is this even possible,its sick and disturbing!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/17/apple-corporate-income-tax-rate_n_1429955.html

re: Why do the Biggest Corporations gets the biggest tax breaks,Apple,Google,Amazion,and More!!
That all depends on what they are basing their data on. Is that the tax rate they pay after all of their expenses and deductions? Is that the effective tax rate after credits? Is that the tax rate that some number cruncher came up with based on what they paid in taxes vs their gross profit? There's a big difference. I would do a little investigating before jumping on that bandwagon.
re: Why do the Biggest Corporations gets the biggest tax breaks,Apple,Google,Amazion,and More!!
Well,its seems that you didnt read the story,Because the report speaks for its self,just how the hell did G.E. pay no taxes in 2008,2009,2010,Theres no Bandwagon that I'm jumping on,The truth speaks for it self,dont be so blind to see that the corporate tax system is manipulated to favor the big corporations.The rich get richer,so they can use that money to manipulate on what laws are passed,especially ones in their favor!
re: Why do the Biggest Corporations gets the biggest tax breaks,Apple,Google,Amazion,and More!!
Man, everyone's so touchy tonight. I did read the story by the way and they didn't go into any detail as to how those numbers were produced. If they did then you would know exactly why they paid what they did. There are too many legal loopholes to even try to mention. It's legal because many of those companies lobby year after year for legislation that includes those loopholes. If you think I'm blind to the tax system then I hope you stick around for a while. I apologize for striking a chord.
re: Why do the Biggest Corporations gets the biggest tax breaks,Apple,Google,Amazion,and More!!
What is "legal" by definition doesn't make it right. Clinton "legally" didn't have "sexual relations" with that woman since Arkansas Blue Laws don't recognize BJ's as anything but abominations. So "legally" he didn't commit perjury. But we know he lied his ass off. The entire CSA is a sham as well as every for profit Police Action since Korea and Vietnam continuing with the Ganjawar. Legal smegal. There are only a couple major loopholes needing plugs. NAFTA/GATT and Mittney's Cayman Island Tax Dodgers. I'm not against loopholes or special circumstances that assist Americans with the tax breaks. That is what the tax would do anyway.
Corporations That Supplied Iraq's Weapons Program
American Media Not Reporting 27 Kidnapped Soldiers
Hoarding cash in some vault or using my taxes to hire foreign labor cheaper, while my fellow Americans are losing their jobs too outsourcing may be "legal" to anyone without a soul. "Legal" has excused more tyrants from hideous crimes against humanity. From Auschwitz to Rainbow Farm it was "legal" to kill. Easy to spot, it's the ones with vested ignorance going along and the ones justifying the immorality. Profiting on misery. Maintaining dysfunction for a paycheck. Ask a kid if its fair that daddy pays 25% tax while GE and Exxon collect welfare. Let alone 3% for keyrist sakes. Wrong is wrong and the roads don't get paved with Cayman Island Banksters hiding Willard's cash he got firing employees in the name of efficiency. Workers axed first, never the Leer Jets for some reason.

If... the machine of government...

~ Henry David Thoreau,
On the Duty of Civil Disobediance, 1849[
I've advocated cannabis and hemp since Nixon lied and broke his legal lie because it is the right thing for me. Science backs my decision using the laws of physics, not liars. If the root of the tree be poison, so be the fruit. If these corporations were serving their country and citizenry they would break the loopholes and pay their fair share. Although like Al Gores Oil Wells getting us into Colombia, he is legally bound to serve his board and best interest of the stockholders, let the u'wa indians be damned, it's Legal as the Love Canal or Lake Erie catching on fire. Or as Monsanto's hatchman Cliarence Thomas' appealing legalities of Monsanto dumping dioxins into the Mississippi River. Lets not even start with Cheney re-covering up the legal MKULTRA or the legal COINTELPRO. Along with a reoccurring virus Rumsfeld. Bush Bakkker Nixon Neocons with no allegiance to the US other than bankrupting the Treasury and downsizing the middle class. With outsourcing a living wage right out the door legally. We see through their closed doors because its happened so often. SOS Cheap Labor - More Profits.
The solution is simple. Eat the rich.
Profound Hatred for Democracy
Regardless of the Indians lands destroyed or Appalachian people losing their mountains. Farmers poisoned by Big Ag corporations undercutting the family farmer. Aborting babies in the Bible Belt. As the auto industry drummed out the back yard mechanic. We can see who cheats and no amount of whiny excuses will change that. Loopholes need more transparency than politicians. Money is the evil in this modern day G-20 World Bank Multinational Corporate Fascism. From elections making Advertisers rich to a bought off neoCongress and more than half of SCOTUS. The Neocons have Earth to rule, countries are being converted into states. This is Mexamericanada.
"Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government." - Henry Kissinger (Bilderburg Conference 1991 Evians, France)
The two most important things we could do would be Buy organic and locally and remove cannabis from the CSA and let farmers grow Hemp for the mills and omega 3,6 and 9 efa's for the table. Granny's rheumatiz med out of the herb garden, affordable healthcare. Without insurance Corpses. We need health care not health care insurance. Always a casino game while they outlaw slot machines off the reservation. I'm all for hanging the bastards upside down on the steps of the Supreme Court. Give em a Hemp loophole around the neck. Although it's illegal for the family farmers to grow it.

Couldn't agree more,The G-8 and nato summits are being held in Chicago this May 19-21.We need to show up and demand the change we were promised in 2008!
re: Why do the Biggest Corporations gets the biggest tax breaks,Apple,Google,Amazion,and More!!
Rather, we need to MAKE the change we 'voted' for in 2008. While I spend a fair amount of time arguing against those who want to give up on voting, I hope I am even more clear about what it takes to make votes matter. There is very little news in this thread. Who does not know that the Big Money players write the rules? Anyone with your hand up, get over the delusion, but don't just lie down for it.

The workshop will be held on Thursday, March 25 and Friday, March 26 in the 4-H Hall at the Clermont County Fairgrounds in Owensville. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on both dates.

It is all down to the final race in the thrilling climax to the 2012 F1 Drivers Championship season. Germany's Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull, leads the way with just a 13 point margin over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. The final race will be ran in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Sunday and online bookmaker Unibet have a great Money Back Offer running for it. Can leader Sebastian Vettel make history by becoming the first man in history to win three titles on the trot? Will Fernando Alonso steal in for a dramatic final twist?
The math for the outcome of the race is not totally clear, but it depends on whether or not Fernando Alonso can actually get in front of Vettel, earn enough points to overhaul the existing 13 point margin and whatever the double World Champion Vettel, gets on the board in Brazil. Alonso really has to throw everything into a win, but at worst has to get into the top three. A win for the Ferrari driver would need Vettel to finish lower than fourth. If Alonso takes second, then the Spaniard would take the title if Vettel finishes outside of the top seven.
While Alonso has never won in Brazil, Vettel took the chequered flag in 2010 and finished second last season. Vettel has the advantage of the stronger car, the faster car, but has cast a little doubt on his chances after announcing he was worried about the reliability of the Red Bull's alternator. But with four wins out of the last six races in the season, Vettel is the man to catch, can he get the win to round out the season triumphantly?
If Sebastian Vettel wins the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix, then Unibet will refund all losing wagers placed on the outright winner market. The maximum refund is ÂŁ10, so you can have a ÂŁ10 wager on the market will full coverage if Vettel goes and takes the win. Note, this offer applies to losing non-live bets placed on the Brazilian Grand Prix up until 4pm GMT on Sunday, November 25th. It also applies to only your First bet placed on the market.
It could be a good time to look at mobile betting with Unibet for your F1 racing, as they provide superb live in-play betting throughout practice rounds and the race itself (remember the above offer does NOT apply to live bets). Unibet offer a great risk free ÂŁ10 bet on the first wager of your mobile account with them. For customers using the regular website, there is a risk free ÂŁ20 bet for sign up.

Uzbekistan Deports Detained Persecution Watchdog Correspondent
The Uzbek government officially deported the correspondent of a Norway-based persecution watchdog group after detaining him since Thursday, according to a statement released today.
Igor Rotar, the Central Asia Correspondent for Forum 18, was detained on the morning of Aug. 11 following the instructions of the National Security Service secret police for political reasons at the highest levels.
Forum 18, which monitors religious persecution in Communist and former Soviet states, has on numerous occasions reported on the religious persecution within Eastern European countries including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan Serbia, Belarus, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Rotar, in particular, has been noted for his consistently informed reporting of the religious freedom situation in Uzbekistan.
Initially the Uzbek intention was to try and force Igor to buy his own ticket out and claim that he was not deported, but his principled strong objections to this tactic resulted in his official deportation, Forum 18 reported Saturday. Uzbekistan's unjustified detention and formal deportation of a widely respected religious freedom reporter, along with the continued crackdown on the independent media, raises many serious issues of freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom to defend human rights and the safety of journalists carrying out their legitimate work.
According to the watchdog group, Rotar's unjustified detention and subsequent formal deportation from Uzbekistan attracted strong expressions of support and concern from a wide range of individuals, human rights organizations, foreign ministries and other international organizations across the world. Among the groups that made efforts to assist Rotar and Forum 18 were Amnesty International, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, Human Rights First, Human Rights Watch, the International Helsinki Federation, International Religious Freedom Watch, the International Religious Liberty Association, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, several foreign ministries and a range of news organizations worldwide.
Forum 18 and Igor Rotar would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who by their prayers and practical actions helped end this totally unjustified detention, the group stated. We are extremely grateful to you all for your excellent help.
Despite Rotars release, Forum 18 said there was still cause for deep concern because of the state of religious freedom and other internationally agreed human rights in Uzbekistan.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom called on the Secretary of State to designate Uzbekistan as a "country of particular concern," or CPC, for the severe, systematic, and ongoing violations of freedom of religion or belief carried out by their governments.
The Commission claimed that government of Uzbekistan placed strict restrictions on religious practice and continued to crack down harshly on individuals and groups that operated outside of government strictures.
According to the USCIRF, Uzbekistan has a highly restrictive law on religion that severely limits the ability of religious communities to function, leaving over 100 religious communities of various denominations currently denied registration. Reportedly, all Protestant activity in the autonomous region of Karakalpakstan is now banned and several Protestants now allegedly face criminal charges for their religious activities.
Based on the criteria in the International Religious Freedom Act, Commission Chair Michael Cromartie, said Uzbekistan deserves CPC designation "without a doubt.
The Religious Liberty Commission (RLC) of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) also issued a report last month on the Uzbekistan governments intensified repression of religion claiming that whilst Uzbekistan's government is 'democratic,' it still uses Soviet-style corruption and repression to shore up elites and keep its grip on power.

With recent advances in cosmetic dental technology, what was once considered impossible can now be performed routinely. We now have the means and the know-how to treat such conditions as discolored, crooked, and missing teeth - often in one or two visits to a cosmetic dentist, and often without discomfort.
Porcelain veneers have now become a standard part of cosmetic dentistry. These veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front teeth. Using porcelain veneers, we can change the shape, color and length of your teeth in only two visits - instant orthodontics!
Dental bonding is a widely used phrase that describes how tooth-colored fillings are placed. Using dental bonding, we can eliminate discolored areas, fill in gaps, and also build back areas of gum recession.
Composite fillings (tooth-colored fillings) can now be placed in the back molar areas when tooth decay is detected. These fillings can be used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings and are virtually invisible. Dentists have fun placing composite fillings and patients like them, too.
Teeth whitening is a great treatment for generalized yellow or stained teeth. With custom-fabricated tooth bleaching trays, the bleaching procedure can be done at home at your own convenience. The process generally takes about four to six weeks and the results are very impressive.
With the treatment options available today, it's possible to have the smile you've always wanted. Let your dentist know if you're interested in learning more about these advances in cosmetic dentistry.
Have you ever smiled in the mirror and wondered what if?
What if your teeth were less prominent, or just a bit more even, or maybe that missing tooth was back in place?
Below you'll find the "What's In A Smile" quiz. It helps you play "What if" and then focus on what the mirror tells you.
Cosmetic dentistry isn't "just for movie stars" or "just for women." Typically it's very conservative treatment that returns huge dividends in personal self-confidence.
Today there are new tooth restoration materials and cosmetic dental care techniques that can put a beautiful smile within everyone's reach. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as natural as the ones you were born with.
For teeth that are intact but seem to lack youthful sparkle, there are a variety of procedures that are simple, safe, and effective. You may want to inquire about teeth bleaching treatments, dental implants, or dental veneers that enhance your tooth enamel. Even a hygiene appointment can return light and color to your smile.
Many patients, whose appearance and self-esteem have been boosted enormously, have received only the simplest of cosmetic dentistry enhancements. Their only regret was that they'd waited so long to have them done.
Your cosmetic dentist will be happy to answer your questions. Please call to schedule a consultation.

This shoot's been going on since July. I bet you've had breaks, of course. Have you been on every single part of the shoot, or have you been able to do other productions in between?
Like a number of the cast, I've been able to go away, because many of these hiatuses we've had in between-- We've done three blocks, so in between block one and two, I was able to go back to England and do a play, which takes some time. You rehearse, and then you have to play it. So since I'd been back this time, in late February, I haven't had much to do on the sets. That's why I've had time to organize a one-man show, which I'm currently taking around New Zealand on the weekends, to keep me feeling active.
When you were talking about acting opposite the tennis ball, while they're on another screen, doing one-man shows must be kind of similar to that, where you're like, "I'll just have to create the whole world in my head", and just go for it.
Yes. When people in the past have asked me about green screen, I said, "Well, it's only scenery", and when you're on stage, you're not really in a castle, you're not really out of doors, you're not really where you say you are. You just say you are, and there you are, and that's the imagination that happens in the theater. That imagination is translated in film by the film magicians and all the technology. So it doesn't worry an actor that when he's meant to be in the middle of nowhere, he's actually in the middle of a studio. You use your imagination. What's complicated is when you're doing that, but all the rest of the cast are not having to do that, because they're in a real place and looking at each other and not having to pretend. Does that answer the question?
Gandalf comes out much more as a mischievous trickster character in The Hobbit. Do you feel like you were playing it a lot more light in The Hobbit, or because Gandalf is aware of larger things going on in Middle Earth, are you still...
Well, that is a little bit of a dilemma. A bit of both, it depends on what the situation is. The overall view is, "I better keep an eye on these dwarves." Particularly Thorin, who is a bit out of control, and not easily managed. So that's clearly an ongoing relationship. Will Thorin do it Gandalf's way, or will Gandalf have-- Gandalf loses his temper with him at one point. And then at other times, it is light-hearted, yes.

Bankruptcy and Debt Collection
Evictions: Landlord/Tenant
Real Estate Transactions
Both individuals and businesses may find themselves unable to pay their debt when it becomes due. When that happens, their credit rating is substantially reduced; they may be subject to potential lawsuits that lead to judgments and garnishments.
Businesses may also be at risk of losing all of their assets and individuals may be at risk of losing their homes and property. At Kleyner Law Offices, we work together with our individual and business clients to help them avoid losing everything and provide them with an opportunity to have a fresh start.
Bankruptcy provides a means for individual debtors to obtain a fresh economic start in life by relieving them of their burden of debt and generally permitting them to retain most of their property. Debt relief is implemented through bankruptcy discharge and retention of property is implemented by the availability of federal or state exemptions.
Chapter 7 (Straight Bankruptcy)
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common form of bankruptcy protection and it is available to anyone who
meets certain eligibility requirements. Subject to few exceptions, Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges virtually all of debtor's unsecured debt. Unsecured debt may include credit cards, medical bills, collections, negative equity in a motor vehicle or house (many times after a repossession), and any other debts that do not have collateral attached to them. By discharging these debts in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, our clients are able to get a fresh start and begin rebuilding their financial independence.
For additional information or to determine your eligibility, please contact our office for your free initial bankruptcy consultation.

Openhand Core Philosophy
Evolving into a Higher Paradigm
A Great Shift of consciousness is taking place across the Earth, which will radically change the way we live, elevating life into a New Paradigm of Being. Humanity has lived for too long, disconnected from the natural flow, thereby creating a disempowering reality. But now, souls are breaking through, integrating profound beingness, and radiating that into the world. We're shifting into 5D.
These are the early hours of the shift, and as the light breaks through, it stirs up the 'sediment' that's blocked the stream. So initially, it's going to look darker and denser. But let that not discourage you. Realignment with the soul is the way to resilient, successful and joyful living. It's time to empower your soul!
Openhand Approach
The way to true success and fulfilment in life, is to recognise the one, underlying purpose of the universe: to unveil YOU as a profound expression of the One. The universe is constantly working in every moment to facilitate this joy and beauty. The Openhand Approach is a way - a spiritual compass - for connecting you to the core essence of your soul, by feeling through inner density, and unleashing the majesty that is you. By expressing this profound beingness, your whole world shapes in the most magical of ways (discover more...Openhand Approach).
Together, we shape a new reality, a New Paradigm!

From €7.60, £11.99 and US$11.84 for the Gaia Notios white, US$10.95, for the Spiropoulos Moscophilero and €9.95, US$16.98 for the Tselepos Moscophilero.
Find the Tselepos wines
Find the Spiropoulos wines
When Steve Daniel, then buyer at UK independent specialist Oddbins, had a rush of Greek blood to the head in the mid 1990s, I remember being enchanted by a bottle of Tselepos Moscophilero from Mantinia, the high plateau in the middle of the Peloponnese where this variety is truly at home and dominates white-wine production.
So I was delighted to be reunited with the current vintage of the Tselepos Moscophilero on my recent visit to this part of Greece (more detailed reports to follow) but disappointed to find how few of the wines I tasted in Mantinia and the neighbouring regions are available on export markets, though the US is far better served than the UK, for reasons discussed briefly in Greeks not resting on their laurels.
In view of this lack of availability, I'm recommending five different versions of Moscophilero – four varietals and one blend. I could have added a couple of sparkling versions to show the variety's versatility but I thought seven wines was pushing it a bit for wine of the week.
Moscophilero – pronounced with the stress on the third syllable and sometimes transliterated with an F in the middle (Μοσχοφίλερο in the Greek alphabet) – is typically light-bodied, with alcohol around 12% in a good vintage, delicately but unmistakably aromatic, mostly floral and/or grapey, both charming and refreshing. It is generally unoaked, though there are a few honourable exceptions (see below).
Yiannis Tselepos (right), Cyprus-born and Dijon-trained, is based near the town of Rizes, south-east of Tripoli in the prefecture of Arkadia, though he has vineyards further north too, in Ancient Mantinia. He produces a 'classic' unoaked wine, Tselepos 2009 Mantinia, which is light and fragrant on the nose and then tight and crisp in the mouth with a long minerally finish and a finely chalky aftertaste. Just 12% alcohol. The vineyards are at around 650 metres and you feel the coolness in this wine. He skilfully avoids the pitfall of making a wine that is all initial aroma and no structure or length or freshness. It was even better than my rosy memory of that bottle from the mid 1990s. (Many retailers may still be selling the 2008.)
His oaked version, Tselepos, Blanc de Gris 2008 Mantinia (rather discreetly distinguished by a red flash on the label saying 'barrel fermented'), is only partly barrel fermented and aged on lees for four months, so it retains the variety's hallmark aroma but is richer and fuller, and – surprisingly – intensely aromatic on the mid palate. it's very long and rounded and yet still fresh and finely textured, perhaps more silky than the unoaked version, with just a touch of spice on the finish. The alcohol is slightly higher at 13%.
Apostolos Spiropoulos (left) was thrust into the role of chief winemaker in the family business as soon as he graduated from UC Davis. His first vintage was 2006 and already he is making refined and elegant wines. The winery is in Artemisio, north of Tripoli, and the vineyards are, like those of Tselepos, at around 650 metres. Spiropoulos 2009 Mantinia has a pink tinge because the skins of this variety range from pale pink to quite dark, depending on the clone. Many if not most winemakers try to avoid getting any colour in their wines but Spiropoulos says his ambition is to make the pinkest wine in Mantinia, if other interested parties will give him free rein ... It has the typical lightly floral (peach blossom?) and grapey aroma then more lemon and grapefruit on the palate; a lovely restrained, fresh style.
Spiropoulos, Astala 2008 Mantinia is a single-vineyard wine (not necessarily the same vineyard every year), made from lower-yielding vines and allowed more time in contact with the skins. A small proportion (15-20%) is finished in new oak. Here added weight and depth and a slightly more creamy texture are well balanced by the crisp acidity. It's even more aromatic than the straight Moscophilero – grapefruit, orange zest and spice but all in homeopathic doses. Both the Spiropoulos wines are just 12% alcohol.
In honour of Steve Daniel and his relentless commitment to the best Greek wines, here's one wine available in the UK from his company Novum Wines: Gaia, Notios white 2009 Regional Wine of Peloponnese. It's an elegant and refreshing blend of Moscophilero from Mantinia with Roditis from Corinth, which adds a lemony flavour and structure. It is less overtly aromatic than the varietal Moscophileros described above but manages to combine a delicate fragrance with a lovely mineral intensity and amazing persistence for the price. The mid palate is more scented than you might expect from the initial aroma and there's a fine roundness from some less contact (but no oak). Excellent value for money. According to the producer's website, Notios means 'from the south', a name chosen to prove that times have changed in the southern Mediterranean when it comes to fresh white wines.
Spiropoulos wines are available in the US (Athenee Importers, NY), Canada (Rubaiyat, Toronto), Cyprus and Germany (Mikroulis, Hannover).
Tselepos wines are available in the US (VOS Selections), Australia (Douglas Lamb Wines), Cyprus (Argosy Trading Company), Germany (Atlas Grosshandel GmbH and Weinhandlung Cava), Belgium (Pasqualinno Bvba), France (La Table de la Mediterranée) and Sweden (Oenoforos AB / Carovin AB).
Gaia wines are more widely available than those of many Greek producers and Notios can be found in the UK at Novum Wines. Google also led me to Oddbins and Yamas Wines. Though beware: because Greek wines tend not to fly off the shelves, some retailers may be offering older vintages. Novum definitely has the 2009, which, I am told and can well believe, is the best vintage yet!

Conflict in the legal team representing accused murderer Drew Peterson has prompted the only woman among the defense attorneys to quit the team.
Reem Odeh blames her departure on Joel Brodsky. In a motion to withdraw from the case, filed Monday in Will County Circuit Court, Odeh cites "irreconcilable differences" with Brodsky.
Odeh declined to go into detail about the differences, telling The (Joliet) Herald-News she fears Brodsky will retaliate if she speaks ill of him.
Brodsky disputed that Odeh was leaving on her own terms. He said it was Peterson who ordered Odeh, Brodsky's former law partner, off the case.
"Drew fired her," Brodsky said, according to the newspaper. "You'll have to ask Drew (for his reasoning)... I don't think he's available for comment."
Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, is charged with murder in the death of his third wife and has been named by prosecutors as a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth.

Would WordPress Work For My Website?
I'm planning on running WordPress for one of my websites, but would like to know if this was possible. I'll quickly summarize the general features of the website:
The site will have 3 main sections: news, articles, and games.
News will be basic blog posts I guess.
Articles will consist of reviews and editorials (will need to be able to distinguish between the two.)
And games will display a list of games each linked to their own game page. Each game page will display two main things:
(1) The same set of game information (such as release date and genre; I'm guessing this is done with custom fields), and
(2) Links to their related content (the news and articles that I mentioned earlier; perhaps when creating news/articles, the admin can select a game from a drop-down menu?).
The website will also have 3 categories: Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Selecting one of the categories, say Microsoft, will display the news, articles, and games for Microsoft only. Otherwise, it just displays everything. Perhaps this is made possible by adding a drop-down menu to select a category when creating news/articles/games?
Also, each category with have its own theme (similar layout but different colors, basically.)
Is WordPress capable of such a complex site? Thank-you.

Skill Description:
Passive: Grants more health to your illusions.
Active: Recharge your shatter skills.
Illusion Health Bonus: 50%
I'm reporting this bug in regards to the passive side of the skill, and I've thoroughly tested the skill to find an underlying problem in its passive mechanic. The severity of this bug is considered to be high, as its passive ability isn't functioning properly. The illusions summoned are not granted the health bonus after seconds delayed. In most cases, the summoned illusions are killed before it gains the benefit from the skill's passive.
I've thoroughly tested Signet of Illusions using staff, sword, and pistol skills that creates illusions (clones and phantasms). The bug is currently effecting both clones and phantasms created (Phantasmal Duelist, Illusionary Leap, Phantasmal Warlock, Phase Retreat). There is also another bug associated with Phase Retreat's teleport that cause the character to be locked within a nearby environment that normally would not have access to by any means (Inside a tree or glitched under the map).
Continue with the bug detail of Signet of Illusions, I've monitored the changes in illusions health bar while they're taking damage from a single enemy before and after the delayed activation of the passive effect of Signet of Illusions. By left mouse clicking the illusion summoned, it's where to check the skill icon to be displayed under its name and to know that the signet of illusions has a delayed passive activation by seconds.
I had to make sure it's not just the case with the delayed skill icon appearance but it is in fact delayed in granting passive bonus to illusions summoned. The difference in the portion of health bar taken by the enemy is noticeable before and after the passive bonus is granted to the illusion. In the heat of the battle, the delayed activation of Signet of Illusion passive bonus can be means that the illusion summoned is killed the second before the health bonus from the passive is granted to the illusion.

Killeen Daily Herald
BELTON - Belton police are investigating a two-vehicle wreck Sunday night that claimed the life of a 19-year-old Houston woman and injured three other people, including a 13-year-old boy.
The deceased woman, identified as Samantha Egger Whetzel, is the wife of a Fort Hood soldier, Police Chief Gene Ellis said.
According to police reports, officers responded to the 2000 block of East Sixth Ave. at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2006 Nissan Altima, driven by Kendra West, 38, of Temple, crossed the center line while traveling west on East Sixth Avenue and struck a 2010 Nissan Sentra head-on.
The Sentra was being driven by Jessie Whetzel Jr., 22, of Fort Hood. His wife, who died at the scene, was the sole passenger in the car.
The 13-year-old was the only passenger in the Altima, the police chief said.
All of the injured were taken to Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
Ellis did not know the extent of their injuries.
Ellis said it initially does not appear alcohol was a factor. He also noted the location where the wreck occurred has been the scene of other serious accidents.
Investigators are expected to reconstruct the scene later this week, he said.

'Stan Lee's Superhumans' Comes to DVD Next Week
This show is fascinating but has irritating ticks. It was made for commercial breaks, but does that justify annoying teasers of what's coming up next and recaps of what we've just seen?
Stan Lee's SuperhumansDistributor: Newvideo
Cast: Stan Lee, Daniel Browning Smith
Network: History Channel
US release date: 2011-04-26
This series is hosted by comic book creator Stan Lee (Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.), although the legwork is done by contortionist Daniel Browning Smith. In each of the eight one-hour episodes, Smith meets three people who have some "special power", a talent resulting from genetic mutation (like a guy with very flexible skin) or through long study (a Shaolin monk who generates powerful punching force) or through an invention (like a guy with a portable jetpack flying suit). Usually the special fellow (no women so far) shows his stuff and then submits to EKG tests or catscans or some other scientific measurement in an effort to measure or explain what he does.
Some people are more remarkable than others, and one or two feel dicey. The Scotsman who claims to have prophetic dreams doesn't quite come through; however, he has the rare talent of lucid dreaming and waking on command. The "wolfman" is simply a scientific researcher who's studied wolves, knows their signals and howls convincingly. The "human bee hive" is scientist who's synthesized a pheromone. Some people have been highlighted on other venues, like the autistic British savant who can play any piece of music in any style. Some people are mighty impressive, like the guy with a super memory and the human calculator, and brainscans show them to be using larger or different portions of their brain for these skills than in average people. Some people are jaw-dropping, like the man in India who conducts electricity, or the man who can run without stopping because his blood metabolizes oxygen differently.
This show is fascinating but has irritating ticks. It was made for commercial breaks, but does that justify annoying teasers of what's coming up next and recaps of what we've just seen? Daniel Browning Smith must introduce himself at least 25 times. Did they think we'll forget? The sound mix favors pointlessly dramatic music that nearly drowns out what people are saying, a problem exacerbated if you're not listening with stereo speakers. As a "reality" documentary, it errs sometimes in the direction of razzle-dazzle and can become so wrapped up in its flashy gee-whiz theatrics that it forgets to probe deeper. Still, some of these don't-try-this-at-home stunts are seriously dazzling and enough to make you reconsider the limits of human capacities.


text: Okay I know already know how to upload a picture to facebook but what the Droid doesn't seem to allow is adding a caption to go along with the picture. How can I do that? Today I uploaded a photo with no problems but then I had to click the comment button for that picture and write the caption there instead of it being a part of the picture. Also is there a way to send more than one picture to someone via a picture text message if I choose multiselect?
