Main Entertaiment Doctor prescribed meds for Prince in another name
Search warrants unsealed Monday by investigators looking into Prince's overdose death almost a year ago said that Dr. Michael Schulenberg prescribed opioids to Prince but put them in the name of Prince confidante Kirk Johnson.
Investigators found no prescriptions in Prince's name, however, Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg told detectives he had written a prescription for oxycodone, which is also an opioid, under the name of long-time Prince associate and drummer Kirk Johnson.
According to an affidavit filed September 12, 2016, Carver County Sheriff's investigators and the DEA conducted a Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program warrant.
Some of the strong painkillers found at the musician's Paisley Park complex outside Minneapolis had prescriptions in the name of his friend and bodyguard, the affidavits and search warrants showed.
Johnson especially was inconsistent with his statements to police, saying he didn't know Prince was addicted to painkillers, even though he reached out to a noted rehabilitation clinic ays earlier regarding the singer's addiction.
Prince was likely dead for hours before he was found in the elevator of his home. That night, a Prince representative in California contacts Dr. Howard Kornfeld, a California addiction specialist, and asks him to intervene and help get the megastar off prescription painkillers. Oxycodone was not listed as a cause of Prince's death. Other information included in the documents indicates that cops learned from Prince's associates that he never used a mobile phone and preferred to communicate via email.
Authorities also searched Johnson's cellphone records, to see who he was communicating with in the month before Prince died.
Ronaldo double hands Real advantage over Bayern
Chile worldwide Arturo Vidal headed Bayern into a 26th-minute lead but then missed a penalty on the stroke of half-time. Ronaldo has now scored 97 goals in the Champions League, two in the UEFA Super Cup and one in ECL qualifying.
As for Dr. Schulenberg, he left his job at North Memorial Medical Center almost three weeks after Prince's death.
Throughout Prince's residence, including in the laundry room and in Prince's bedroom, investigators discovered controlled substances that "were not contained in typical prescription pill bottles but rather, were stored in various other containers such as vitamin bottles", according to the documents.
The day before Prince's death, Schulenberg prescribed three drugs for him: clonidine, which is used to treat high blood pressure and attention deficit disorder, and the anti-anxiety agents Valium and hydroxyzine pamoate. The suitcase, which had a handwritten letter with the lyrics of "You Got the Look" inside, was labeled under her alias name, Peter Bravestrong. Schulenberg had prescribed those on April 7.
The music icon died on Thursday 21st April 2016 at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at the age of 57. Medics revived him with two doses of a drug that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose.
The documents said Prince did not have any prescriptions, including for fentanyl. Kornfeld can not clear his schedule to fly to Minnesota immediately, so he sends his son, Andrew, on an overnight flight. When pressed in a recent CBS interview to talk about Prince's final days, Johnson pointed to his head and said: "Kirk has a vault".
Investigators have said little publicly about the case over the previous year, other than it is active. Andrew Kornfeld was the person who called 911, Mauzy said.

Kelly Ripa Talks Differences Between Ryan Seacrest and Former Co-Hosts Regis Philbin and Michael Strahan
Michael Becker/ FOX
The top 20 guys and gals kicked off the results show singing the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling."
But we doubt more than a handful were positive that tonight wasn't going to be a terrible night.
Their group performance was actually pretty fun (someone picked the right song for a change), but Simon Cowell had already said that, when watching some of the ladies over again, "one in particular...was so bad I had to turn the TV off—and I don't do that very often."
And considering the top 10 gentlemen weren't much better, as a whole, there were only a few contestants we would have been shocked to see go.
As it turned out, "Gravity" sent John Park plummeting back to earth, the 21-year-old being the first casualty Thursday—a week after he, and not Joe Muñoz, should have gone home.
Though Ellen DeGeneres was "frustrated" ("because it has more impact when you say frus-trated," she quipped) that it was these two pitted against each other for the last safe spot, voters made the right choice by ending Jermaine Sellers' run and keeping Andrew Garcia around for at least another week.
Ironically, Jermaine's rehash of "What's Going On" played better tonight, and the usually brashly defensive 27-year-old church-trained singer offered some nice parting words.
"In God there is no failure...so I leave here happy" and I appreciate y'all to the fullest, I really do," he said, adding, in a final nod to the outfit he was rocking last night, "and everybody need to go out and get a onesie."
OK, Andrew, time to put "Straight Up" behind you and start competing.
After Danny Gokey made a triumphant return to the Idol stage, probably thrilled that he never has to wait to hear Ryan Seacrest reveal his fate ever again, the ladies took the hot seat.
Michael Becker/ FOX
In the first head-to-head, Didi Benami got someone to lean on--thousands of someones, actually--and slipped past Michelle Delamor to safety.
Kara DioGuardi admitted what those watching on TV already knew, that Michelle's "Arms Wide Open" wasn't really that great and, at worst, made us want to wrap our arms around each other for audial comfort.
And Haeley Vaughn, smiling throughout, will at least get to live out the rest of her adolescence not having to be ridiculed by Simon Cowell.
The 16-year-old was the fourth contestant to get the boot tonight, right after Simon, looking at her and the still-questionable Lacey Brown, said it was "very obvious who's going to go home tonight, to everyone watching."
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's try to make it less obvious next week, shall we?
The top 8 gals go back to performing on Tuesday, followed by the guys on Wednesday.
There's always gonna be another mountain, just as there's always gonna be another season of Dancing With the Stars. Which of these celebs has your early vote?!

If there's truth to the adage that we're all products of our environment, then it makes good sense to ensure the spaces we work in are as conducive to bringing out the best in us as possible.
There's a lot of buzz in design circles these days around the idea of biophilia—the notion that humans possess an instinctive tendency to seek out connections with nature and other forms of life. Described in 1973 by the German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm as "the passionate love of life and all that is alive," and expanded on in 1984 by American biologist Edward O. Wilson, who proposed that the human proclivity to affiliate with nature and other forms of life is based, in part, on genetics, biophilia has become the foundation for a movement among proponents of sustainable design to incorporate aspects of nature into products and spaces to support a sense of well-being that's vital to human health and productivity.
There's also a growing body of anecdotal and scientific research that validates the benefits generated by a proximity to nature—or elements that mimic it—and supports the trend toward nature-centric design. Read on for five expert design strategies that rely on nature or biomimicry to enhance our health and well-being in built environments.
Living walls composed of an array of small plants not only delight the senses by bringing color and dimension to lobbies, atriums, and other communal spaces, they also promote health and well-being by absorbing carbon-dioxide and other toxic gasses and replacing them with life-giving oxygen.
As an alternative to green walls composed of grasses, succulents, and other plants, Joseph Zazzera, a certified biomimicry professional, LEED AP ID+C, provisional WELL AP, and co-owner of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Plant Solutions, suggests installing a low-maintenance green wall made of moss and lichens, which Buddhist monks began to cultivate a thousand years ago in temples or on stones and walls to turn their attention away from daily distractions and facilitate meditation. When their varying textures and chartreuse, olive, soft gray, and pale green hues are coalesced within a framed composition, maintained with a patented preservation process, and mounted on a wall, mosses and lichens also engage the eye like an abstract painting. "We think of these as biomimicry art pieces, connecting us to our human nature and innate love of living things," says Zazzera. "Each one is like a shrine at the edge of the wilderness between our offices and our primeval nature."

Nature-inspired elements that we can see, hear, smell, or feel can positively impact our physical and mental well-being and also reduce stress. A work space that supports eye health, for example, should allow for depth of view beyond computer screen of at least 20 feet, but ideally 60-100+ feet, to allow eye muscles to completely relax and prevent prolonged ocular stress, according to Chris Garvin, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, and managing partner with Terrapin Bright Green, a sustainability consulting and strategic planning firm.
"If you have manual controls for window blinds, be sure to use them and not keep the blinds down out of forgetfulness," Garvin says, who also advises incorporating the sound of running water in work spaces as well. "Trickling or gurgling water can contribute to concentration and stress reduction," he explains. "A small desktop fountain can cost as little as $10." To address the sense of touch, Garvin recommends incorporating a sense of "thermal variability," in air flow or temperature "either through manual controls, operable windows, an oscillating small desktop fan, or material choices with different thermal qualities—including a mix of metal, wood, fabric and other material surfaces."
Nature-inspired elements can positively impact our physical and mental well-being and also reduce stress.
From crystals and leaves to seashells and snowflakes, the naturally occurring forms in nature are built upon patterns that humans instinctively respond to in a positive way. The late designer Buckminster Fuller looked to these patterns as the ultimate source of inspiration in his whole-systems approach to problem solving. "Fuller was impressed with how efficient nature is in her use of materials," says Elizabeth Thompson, executive director of the Buckminster Fuller Institute. "As a result, none of his structures have right angles because nature doesn't use them—natural forms are all based on the triangle and tetrahedron," she adds.
When surrounded by structures or elements based on such patterns, she explains, "you feel something that has a resonance with the natural world." The use of biomorphic forms, or forms that mimic those in nature, has been found to reduce stress and increase visual preference, concurs Garvin. "This would also include the use of fractal ratios and other patterns that occur within nature," he notes.
The flooring options in Interface's Human Nature trigger positive signals in the brain by bringing a sense of nature underfoot with both textures and patterns that emulate moss, sand, gravel, and other natural surfaces.
As workspaces shrink to reduce carbon footprints and limit energy and real estate costs, designers, facility managers, and corporate decision-makers have found that introducing a view onto a natural setting can compensate for a perceived loss of space. As an example, Lindsay James, a certified biomimicry professional, points to furniture manufacturer Haworth's renovated headquarters in Holland, Michigan, where more traditional offices were exchanged for updated smaller-scale open workspaces, and an enclosed garage was removed and replaced with prairie grasses and an atrium to provide access to daylight and views.
"An early post-occupancy survey revealed a negative response at first, as workers felt the space to be more crowded, but over time a family of wild turkeys moved in to the prairie and people began to check daily on the eggs as they were nurtured and hatched," she explains. "After workers reconnected to the rhythm of life, positive responses went up dramatically in a subsequent survey as they found unexpected fulfillment in witnessing nature at a slow pace," she adds. "As we see nature unfolding over the seasons, we are reminded on a daily basis of how the bigger picture can affect our world view and reinforce the feeling that we're connected to all life on the planet."
Haworth's renovated headquarters in Holland, Michigan exchanged more traditional offices for updated smaller-scale open workspaces. An enclosed garage was removed and replaced with prairie grasses and an atrium to provide access to daylight and views.
"Daylight, with a sky view and exposure to natural diurnal patterns, supports concentration during the day and helps maintain healthy circadian rhythms," says Garvin. "When quality daylight isn't possible, one strategy is task-ambient electric circadian lighting design with biologically-correct LED light bulbs for task lamps."
The feel good environments are suseptable to exploitation by commercially minded firms ever focused on monetary gains at whatever cost, in lieu of socially based & more complete holistic solutions.
This is a wonderful analysis of the relationship between nature and humans. The energy of nature has yet to be harnessed by humans, when it does it will become a necessity equal to or surpassing the electrical light!

text: I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys about something I've been considering for some time now. What is your opinion on the future of band musicians in light of the declining band enrollment and general musical interest in the schools today. I'm well into my middle years and in my youth school bands were huge in ratio to student populations with really exceptional talent being not all that rare. It seemed when you were surrounded with many good players it spured you on to be much better not to mention the sharing of talents and student to student abilities that happened. Mykids, some of which have graduated and some still in h.s. all participated in band in a larger h.s. than I attended. I have been involved in their programs and seen many other h.s. bands. It's pretty pathetic compared to a few generations ago. One thing that I think clouds the issue is that there are some great musicians out there but the available pool of future musicians is getting smaller and less well taught. Some friends of ours lived in Italy for 15 years and in recent years moved back to the US. They said the level of musical talent and availability in Italy was fantastic on all school levels and they too were sad about the trend in young people towards band instruments in the US. I'd like to hear from some seasoned musicians about their observations. thanks

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight series, nor do I own the Twilight characters.
Chapter 21: Alice POV
The room was a pale yellow. The chair cushions looked thin and the sofa cushions looked hard and stiff. The television was on in the corner showing a soap opera. From the lack of windows and the generic paintings, I knew I was in a hospital waiting room. I also knew it was in a different state.
I was not in this dream, neither was my family. This must be where Bella went off to. Sure enough, there was Bella sitting cross-legged on one of the thin chairs against the wall. She was unmoving and glassy eyed while things seemed to be in fast-forward around her.
Scenes on the television changed, people left and new people came in, doctors and nurses made brief appearances, but still Bella remained unmoving. It was as though she was in a trance.
After what seemed to be a significant amount of time, Bella began to sway. Her eyelids fluttered and her glassy eyes began to roll back. I began to panic, I knew something was wrong with her, and then she fainted. Her body collapsed onto the chairs beside her and she was once again unmoving, but this time she was not awake.
Visitors and nurses ran to her aid. I tried to…but I was not there. I could only watch. I was merely a witness as the doctors tried to find out what was wrong with my best friend.
This was not supposed to happen. It is not supposed to be like this. Bella is supposed to be fine. Edward needs her.
I shot up in bed, drenched in sweat while my heart tried to beat its way out of my chest. Nothing bad can happen to Bella. Edward needs her, but right now,…Bella needs him.
I called the airline and found the next flight out before packing a suitcase. There was only one more thing I needed to do…
"Ed-ward! Wake up!" I started to shake him, hoping to wake him faster. "You are going to be late and miss the plane; if you are late, so help me, I will not hesitate to kick your–"
"Alice, what will I be late for? Where am I going?"
"Oh good, you are awake." I turned to his closet to pick out something for him to wear that I had not already stuffed into the suitcase. "You are going to Florida…where Bella is."
AN: If you haven't already, check out the preview for the next chapter and read the author's note at the end of it. I figured putting this up would give you something to read while you are waiting for me to update.
Also, my prayers are with Daddy's Little Cannibal's friends and family. I didn't know her personally, but she was a wonderful author and I loved her stories.

I have thoughts about 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.' (spoilers!)
Warning: Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life spoilers ahead.
Yes, we stayed up until 6 a.m. marathoning all four mini-movies straight. There was lots of coffee and snacks involved. And now that it's all done (I'm debating whether a re-watch is necessary for any deeper analysis right now, but I'm also very sleepy), yes – I have thoughts.
But rather than wait until I decide to re-watch it all now or not, I wanted to jot down some initial reactions because posting anything on social media right now is cruel and I don't want to accidentally spoil anything for anyone.
So, this post has spoilers. Seriously. Last chance to duck out.

'I thought it was beautiful.'
Some people called it disrespectful, but what I don't think they got was that, in those four minutes, the "Star-Spangled Banner" was more than just a song. Hendrix made the National Anthem an anthem for a generation of people who felt that their country didn't care about them, a country that was drafting them to war to die. And if you listen carefully to the way Hendrix jumps from fret to fret, interrupting his own interruptions with Taps, using (some say, overusing) the whammy bar and wah-wah pedal in a way that's distinct to his sound, you'll hear imperfection that tells a story people weren't sure how to articulate. At that last note, there's a sustained silence, and then Hendrix launches into E7#9, known as the Hendrix chord, that begins "Purple Haze," a song unambiguously about getting high.
When asked about it later, Hendrix didn't talk about the performance as a protest or a symbol. "I thought it was beautiful," he said. It was.
Because even with the "unpatriotic" interruption, Hendrix remained unapologetic in his art. Because even if it felt like the country was turning against you, the music could still go on. As long as we create — unapologetically — we can change it.

The video of the fight between Peter Thomas and Matt Jordan during a radio interview has finally been released.
It's EPIC!!!
TMZ Reports,
You'll recall the 'RHOA' guys went toe-to-toe back in March during a radio interview in Charlotte. There were several tense moments of trash talking while the host stepped between them … but Matt eventually had enough, and charged at Peter.
At the time, Peter bragged he'd held his own in the fight. You can decide for yourself.
Peter is pressing assault charges, and our 'Housewives' sources tell us his attorney subpoenaed the video from the radio station.

Adding fiber to your daily food intake is very important. Dr. Oz, spoke of adding fiber, on Oprah (see….Dr. Oz on Oprah), and most nutritionists will agree. fiber aids in digestion, helps to keep blood sugar level in check, and fiber also wards off hunger, by decreasing your appetite.
I love Fiber One cereal (see….Add Fiber To Your Diet With Fiber One Cereal), so when I saw the General Mills came out with a Fiber One bar, I had to try it.
I found the Fiber One bars in two flavors, oats and peanut butter, and oats and chocolate. Each bar provides 35% of the daily value of fiber, and have between 4-4.5 grams of fat per serving. The oats and chocolate bar has 135 calories, and the oats and peanut butter, has 140 calories. Neither one contains any trans fats, and they're low in sodium (90-105 mg per serving). Each box contains five bars. I recently found them on sale at my local grocery store (in the snack bar/cereal section), 3 boxes for $6.99.
Both of the Fiber One bars are high in flavor, and are a great snack to take with you if you're on the go. After trying both flavors, I personally prefer the oats and peanut butter. However, if I'm craving chocolate, the oats and chocolate bar, satisfies my craving.
As with any product high in fiber, remember to slowly increase your intake of fiber, in order to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.

My "One Year" Mark!
I don''t know exact date I started but I know it was early June last year so I decided June 5th was my "One Year" mark. Not quite a 6-pack yet but working on it:) Thanks to my parents for letting me use their treadmill and my family & friends for the encouragement along the way. Thank you!!!
Main motivation for this was the previous year I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and started using a CPAP machine to sleep.
The same thing happening to me was my wake up call. It really hit home when I saw myself in that mask and realized I have gotten fat enough to need a CPAP from obstructive sleep apnea. I felt like a big fat elephant. Keep going you are doing great!
you look fantastic! I would consider that a six pack!
That is amazing! Congrats!
Awesome, way to go!!! That is where i am going...
What height are you?
I just starting using fitday last month and it is very helpful. Makes it fun to fine tune the diet to reach my next goal to be under 10% BF and show the 6-pack. Wish I would have found it sooner.
Great stuff, i am 5'9" and 170 is the max for my BMI so actually i should at least go all the way to 165 i am thinking. Yeah i find Fitday invaluable for all the info!
Sleep Apnea
Congrats on sticking with it for a whole year, AND for the results! I have sleep apnea too. Have you done followup sleep studies as you've lost the weight and lower the amount of air pressure at any particular milestone changes? Are you still using CPAP now?
Thank you! I have not done a follow-up yet because can't afford it even with insurance at the moment. I had been off of it for almost a month but was having trouble just getting to sleep but was sleeping ok once I got to sleep. I have been using it the past couple of nights which helps me get to sleep quicker. I think it will be similar to weening a child off using a bottle, its a comfort level.
How long have you been dealing with your sleep apnea?
That is sooo awesome!!! Very happy for you. I'm cracking up because you don't look like you anymore, you sort of look like your skinny kid brother... Good luck on weaning off the CPAP machine, my BIL is trying to get off his too, but he needs to lose quite a bit more still.

A pop of yellow is big this year in home decor color trends. Add a little sunshine and cheerfulness to your space with these four ideas.
1. Paint a wall
The kitchen or living room is the perfect spot for a brightly colored wall. Paint one of your walls in the living room yellow to encourage conversation and create a welcoming environment. Yellow in the kitchen will bring energy to a functional space.
2. Buy a yellow chair
A yellow chair, whether it's a dining room chair, a bar stool or an accent chair, can add that perfect amount of sunshiny pop without being too overwhelming. You wouldn't want to decorate your living room with a bright yellow sofa or sectional.
3. Accessorize with yellow
The flowers you use to decorate the bedroom and even the throw pillows you place on the living room sofa can be used to add a pop of color. When the year is over and new trends are discovered, you can switch out your accessories for a new color or design.
4. Paint an old piece of furniture
Have an old piece of furniture that could use a touch-up? Instead of getting rid of the dresser or chair, paint it yellow and give the furniture new life. A simple paint job is sometimes all a piece furniture needs to look new and interesting again.
With summer in full swing, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this year's new color trend. Decorating with the color yellow is a way to mimic the sunny outdoor environment and bring happiness into your home.

by Jamie Bunt Ancient China photo credit Nasa / Goddard Space Flight Center / Reto Stöckli China is located in Asia. The most famous landmarks in China is the Great Wall of China. This wall passes 156 counties in ten cities including Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Gansu Qinghai, and the capital Beijing. China is also the third largest country in the world in terms of area but the world's largest country based on population. Because of its area and variations in topography, China's climate is varied. Ancient China has existed from 2205 BCE to 265 CE. The Chinese conception of the afterlife is based on a combination of Chinese folk religions, Taoism and Mahayana Buddhism. At the moment of death, the Chinese believe that the spirit is taken by the messengers to the god of walls and moats. This god is known as Ch'eng Huang, who conducts a preliminary hearing. If the spirit is found virtuous, it may go to one of the Buddist paradises, to the place of the Taoist immortals, or the 10th court of hell for immediate rebirth. One ritual practice is Chinese Ancestor Worship. It's based on the belief that deceased family members continue in existence, take interest in the affairs of the world, and possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Early forms of ancestor worship were extensively developed by the Late Neolithic Period in China. Chinese religious rituals are based in Chinese folk religion but are influenced in Taoism and Buddhism. Chinese astrology is a way in which ancient prophetical practices have survived. It is also known as the science of astronomy. The ancient Chinese astronomers named the five major planets by the names of the Five Elements. Venus is Metal (gold); Jupiter is Wood; Mercury is Water; Mars is Fire; Saturn is Earth. The position of the five planets, the sun, the moon and comets in the sky and the Chinese zodiac sign at the time a person was born determine the destiny of a person's life according to the Chinese astrology. Shi- Gentry Scholars
Defining the shi as gentry scholars is not wholly accurate. The ancient shi came from an ancient warrior caste.but the make-up of the shi gradually evolved until it was mostly made of aristocratic scholars who studied in order to occupy positions of rank. Scholars, even though they own land, aren't rich. However, they are respected for their knowledge. The Society Structure of Ancient China Nong- Peasant Farmers
Peasant farmers were only after the shi. Farmers owned land like the gentry scholars, and agriculture played a key role. They not only grew food to sustain the society, but they paid land tax. Therefore, the farmers were valuable members of the society even though they weren't shi. However, shi families were still land owners who also produced crops and food themselves. Gong- Artisans and Craftsmen
The gong were the people who had the skills to create useful and important items. Most of them didn't own land though. However, they commanded more respect than merchants because their skills were passed down from father to son. Artisans could be self- employed or government employed. Those that were most successful could become wealthy enough to hire apprentices or laborers that they could manage.
Shang- Merchants and Traders
There wasn't a lot of respect towards the shang in ancient Chinese society. Even though they could achieve significant wealth, they were held in low consideration for they didn't produce anything. Some merchants bought land to be considered farmers and command respect. Others would buy a good education for their descendants so that they could earn the status of scholars. Shi Nong Gong Shang

http://www.chinavideoclips.net/educational-videos/inventions Chinese Religious Practices and Beliefs The Afterlife The emperor and his family, also known as the imperial family, were at the top of the central government system. Next was the prime minister. They held many official posts. Then there were the six ministries. These ministries were responsible for the administration of important aspects of the government. After the ministries was the censorate. Its main job was to provide oversight of the bureaucracy. Finally, there was the Hanlin Academy. The Hanlin Academy was established in the eight century, and it wasn't a school. The Academicians provided the emperor with a staff of academically talented people he could call on as the need arose.
