Well I see you took my advice before I even mentioned it here.. Chicken soup. Hope you don't over do before you are completely well. As always lovely post. Love the Ricola's especially. :))ReplyDelete

Final EHR Certification Bodies – Meaningful Use Monday
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
This seems mostly like a formality, but NIST has published the list of Accredited Testing Laboratories (ATLs), that are qualified to test EHR technology under the Permanent EHR Certification Program. You might remember that the permanent EHR certification program was delayed.
Here are the list of companies that are part of the final EHR certification bodies:
- Drummond Group
- Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT)
- ICSA Laboratories, Inc.
- InfoGard Laboratories, Inc.
- SLI Global Solutions
All of them are familiar names and ones that have been doing work with EHR certification the whole time. I think this is generally good for consistency of EHR certification. Can you imagine if you'd certified your EHR using one of the bodies and then that body didn't get approved for the permanent EHR certification. Sure, the criteria are still the same, but there's some differences in the processes each EHR certification body uses.
As most of you know, I've been a long opponent to EHR certification. I think it's pointless and provides no value to physicians. However, someone in Washington put it in the HITECH legislation, so we're stuck with the idea of a certified EHR. The good thing is that ONC and CMS have basically rendered it meaningless since every EHR vendor has basically become a certified EHR or will be soon. Of course, that also illustrates how pointless the EHR certification really is.
All in all, the EHR certification bodies are going to be around for a number of years more. I'm not sure if they'll survive post HITECH. I just wish they were providing something "meaningful" (pun intended.

Kristen Stewart Leaves Nashville: Heading Home After Getting A Tattoo?
Kristen's cross country trip may be coming to an end, as the actress was seen boarding a plane in Nashville, Tennessee on June 21, following a stop at a tattoo parlor! Could she be heading home to LA and reuniting with her ex Robert Pattinson?
Even when Kristen Stewart's outside of Los Angeles, she can't escape the cameras. During a road trip cross country, K-Stew, 23, was spotted at various locales, including a Hooters restaurant in Amarillo, Texas, Blues City Cafe in Memphis, Tennessee, a hot dog joint in New Orleans, and now she was spotted boarding a plane in Nashville. While Kristen's destination is unknown, we can only hope that she'll be reuniting with Robert Pattinson upon her likely return to Los Angeles!
Kristen Stewart Spotted Leaving Nashville — Did KStew Get A New Tattoo?
"Yep! That's twilight's Kristen Stewart at the Nashville airport! She was trying to take a piece of wood on the plane? And yes, I went up to her and asked her if she was who she was! #kristenstewart #nashville #airportsighting," Katie Watts wrote on Instagram on June 21.
Earlier that day, Kristen posed with a number of fans and tattoo artists at Pride & Glory Tattoo Parlor in Memphis. The parlor posted the photo on Instagram and wrote, "***Pride & Glory Tattoo Nashville,Tn*** #kristenstewart #tattoo #nashville#nashvegas #tattoos #twilight."
Kristen Stewart Goes To A Tattoo Parlor In Texas
This isn't the first time that Kristen's been spotted in a tattoo parlor. In early May, Kristen hit up a tattoo parlor called Sun City Tattoos and posed for pics with fans.
After both visits, we have yet to see any ink on Kristen's body.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Rob and Kristen reunite? Should she get a tattoo about Rob and try to win him back?

It's happening--and I don't really know why. I am either bored, feeling invincible after one hell of a crazy year or just want the T-shirt, but the reasoning doesn't really matter at this point. I'm signing up for a 5K run in September, and I ... am ... terrified.
My weight is laughable, the gym teacher made fun of me for "running" a 14-minute mile in middle school, and I'm a nervous energy smoker. But I've shifted some of that energy into late-night runs in the past few months, and it's kind of awesome, you guys. (Thanks, C25K iPhone app!)
Still, my stomach twitches a little when I think about what's coming in September, so I asked my co-worker, Tracy Swartz, an avid runner and half-marathoner, some pretty stupid questions to help quell my fears. Here's how it went. Thanks, Tracy!
Jessica: I couldn't run a full lap around the track in high school, and I still get winded climbing the Clark/Lake CTA escalator. Can I really do this after two months of shuffling my way through an iPhone app training program?
Tracy: A lot of the time, running is more mental than physical. You just have to imagine yourself crossing that finish line or imagine that you're being chased. Two months should be plenty of time to prepare.
Jessica: So when did you start running? What motivated you to do your first race? I basically just want to see if I can do it without barfing.
Tracy: I started running in 2007 out of spite. The guy I was dating dumped me for a girl he ran a half-marathon with. I thought, "This doesn't look so hard." I ran my first race, the Shamrock Shuffle, in 2008 and my first half-marathon, in New York City, in 2009. I beat her time handily. It was about that time I found a love for running and traveling. I've run a race in all 50 states, and now I'm working on running a race in every Chicago community area. I hope all this exercise helps me in the long run. (Pun intended.)
Jessica: I'm pretty confused about how eating and running can coexist. If I do my run in the evenings, what's the rule on how long to wait to run after eating, say, a hot dog?
Tracy: Eating and hydrating are definitely trial and error. I eat a Clif Bar before a run and try to drink a bottle of water. If it's a long run and I'm hungry afterward, I'll eat again. But I think you'll find that you're not hungry after a run. Something about a runner's high seems to work as an appetite suppressant for me. Now, beer is a different story.
Jessica: Will I get in trouble if my friends toss me a can of beer to guzzle, then crush it on my forehead as I cross the finish line?
Tracy: You probably won't get in trouble, but there are always photographers at the finish line. That's the moment where you have to decide whether you want pretty runners face, the ugly runners face or beer-to-forehead face.
Jessica: They take your PICTURE?! I recently Googled "Why does my face get scary red when I run" but still didn't feel any better about it after discovering that I wasn't dying. Have you ever seen any major health scares at a race? Do people barf?
Tracy: Oh yes, they take your picture. After the race you have the privilege of shelling out big bucks to see yourself panting, sweating and grimacing your way to the finish line. I've seen a few health scares. I was at a race earlier this year where a girl passed out just a few hundred yards from the finish line. The worst is when it is too hot and people get sick because they haven't hydrated properly. But for the most part everyone finishes safely.
Jessica: Do organizers discourage listening to music while you run? I'm kind of scared of not hearing what's going on around me, but I feel like I NEED Beyonce and Dave Grohl on this journey.
Tracy: Some races do discourage listening to music while you run, but that's not a typical rule in Chicago. It's important to be aware of your surroundings, especially because some races are run on the Lakefront Path and there are non-runners on the path while your race is taking place. Some of the best races in the city have bands that play while you run. No headphones necessary!
Jessica: Do you remember any big mistakes you made when you ran your first race?
Tracy: I bought shoes off the rack from Target. That works for some people but not for me or my overpronating feet. After my first Shamrock Shuffle five years ago, I couldn't walk for days. Also, I didn't own any shirts that wicked away moisture. The best thing about running races is the (sort-of) free shirts.
Jessica: One of my running friends once totally forgot about a race he was supposed to run in and considered going to pick up the shirt anyway, because "the shirt is the best part." OK, so you need good shoes and something to help your sweat evaporate. And what's the deal with all the bloody nipples? Chafing?
Tracy: The bloody nipple part is mostly a guy thing. Women should invest in a good running bra, though, ideally something that makes you forget you're a woman. There are sticks that look like deodorant but rub on thicker that will help ease the chafing.
Jessica: Definitely getting a T-shirt screen-printed with "Chafing is for choches."

With so many titles to choose from, Netflix Instant's library can be overwhelming. And so we offer this column as a tool to cut through the clutter by highlighting some now streaming titles that pair nicely with the latest theatrical releases.
While Now Streaming typically runs biweekly, we've shifted the schedule to better offer viewing suggestions timed with the holiday seasons. For the Thanksgiving holiday, we looked to Life Of Pi, Hitchcock, & Silver Linings Playbook for inspiration, and so have provided a selection of whimsical fantasy features, scandalous showbiz stories, and crazy love stories for your home viewing entertainment.
Life of Pi
Based on the Yann Martel's best-selling novel, the latest from Ang Lee centers on the story of an young Indian who survives a cataclysmic shipwreck only to be stranded on a life-boat with a snarling Bengal tiger. Suraj Sharma and Irrfan Khan star.
There are few films that can compare to the sensational spectacle of Lee's Life of Pi. However, if you're thirsting for a fantasy tale with an imaginative storyteller at its core, we've got something for every member of the family.
Phoebe in Wonderland (2008) This Sundance selection stars Elle Fanning as a nine-year-old girl whose Tourette's make her a misfit to her class and an enigma to her family. But once her kind drama teacher gives her the lead in the school's production of Alice in Wonderland, Phoebe finds an outlet to express herself, and begins to see the book's classic character, who provide comfort and welcomed advice. Felicity Huffman, Bill Pullman and Patricia Clarkson co-star; Daniel Barnz writes and directs.
The Fall (2006) Set in a hospital in 1920s Hollywood, this visually striking feature presented by Spike Jonze and David Fincher centers on a rambunctious little girl who forms an unexpected friendship with a crippled and depressed stuntman as he weaves a remarkable yarn of masked men, exotic lands, beautiful princesses, love lost, and hope rediscovered. It's gorgeous, bittersweet, strange and unforgettable. Lee Pace and Justine Waddell co-star; Tarsem Singh directs.
Delirious (1991) For something ten times wackier, check out this comedy that stars John Candy as a soap opera writer whose concussion throws him into the fictional world of his daytime drama, complete with backstabbing socialites, evil industrialists, an eye-patched amnesiac, lovesick doctor, and Robert Wagner. Fate and inspiration combine to help him save his show and discover true love. Mariel Hemingway, David Rasche and Emma Samms co-star; Tom Mankiewicz directs.

NL Capsules
The Associated Press
Sep. 30, 2013
MIAMI (AP) — Henderson Alvarez pitched a no-hitter with a most bizarre ending, celebrating in the on-deck circle when the Miami Marlins scored on a two-out wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the AL Central champion Detroit Tigers 1-0 Sunday.
After Alvarez finished off the ninth with the game scoreless, he had to wait to see if it would become an official no-hitter. A Major League Baseball ruling in 1991 said only complete games of nine or more innings with no hits would count.
The Marlins loaded the bases and with pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs at bat, Luke Putkonen (1-3) threw a wild pitch that let Giancarlo Stanton score.
Alvarez was on deck, bat in hand. He took off his helmet and started to celebrate with teammates while still wearing his batting gloves.
Later, Alvarez went into the stands to hug his pregnant wife and kiss her belly.
It was the first of the majors' 282 no-hitters to end on a wild pitch, STATS said.
Alvarez (5-6) struck out four, walked one and hit a batter against a patchwork Tigers lineup on the last day of the season. The 23-year-old righty from Venezuela capped a dismal season for the Marlins in which they finished at 62-100.
Alvarez pitched the fourth season-ending no-hitter ever, and first since Mike Witt of the Angels threw a perfect game at Texas in 1984.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Cuddyer won his first batting title and Todd Helton singled in the final game of his career to help the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The NL West champion Dodgers, who lost four of their last five games to finish 92-70, will open the NL division series at Atlanta on Thursday.
The Dodgers said they won't have center fielder Matt Kemp in the postseason because of swelling in a bone in his left ankle.
Cuddyer went 1 for 5 and finished at .331 to win the title by 10 points over Atlanta's Chris Johnson.
Helton was 1 for 4 with a walk, singling his first time up. The first baseman is retiring after 17 seasons.
The sellout crowd at Dodger Stadium gave him a standing ovation before his last at-bat.
Jeff Francis (3-5) won and Rex Brothers got his 19th save in 21 chances. Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-8) took the loss.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Jordy Mercer hit an inside-the-park homer and triple, and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in a matchup of teams that will play for the NL wild card.
They'll open the postseason on Tuesday night at Pittsburgh, the Pirates' first playoff game in 21 years. They've met five times in the playoffs: 1970, 1972, 1975, 1979 and 1990, when the Reds won their last World Series title.
Johnny Cueto (5-2), who is 8-2 career at PNC Park, will face Francisco Liriano (16-8), who is 0-3 in four starts against Cincinnati this season.
The Reds dropped their last five games, matching their season high.
Brandon Cumpton (2-1) gave up a pair of hits in five shutout innings. Kyle Farnsworth got his second save. Greg Reynolds (1-3) took the loss.
ATLANTA (AP) — Evan Gattis had a two-run homer among his three hits, Elliot Johnson drove in five runs and the NL East champion Atlanta Braves beat Philadelphia.
The Braves won their first division title since 2005. They will have home-field advantage against the Dodgers in the NL division series, which begins Thursday at Turner Field.
Atlanta (96-66) finished with its best record since also winning 96 games in 2004. After the victory, players gathered for a photo around a 2013 banner that was placed on a stand in front of the mound.
Julio Teheran (14-8) allowed four runs in five innings. Zach Miner (0-2), who began his career in the Braves' organization, gave up five runs on seven hits and three in only 2 1-3 innings.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals clinched home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs when they beat the Chicago Cubs for their sixth straight win.
With the top seed, the NL Central champions will host the wild-card winner in Game 1 of the best-of-five division series on Thursday.
Joe Kelly (10-5) pitched 5 1-3 innings of three-hit ball. The Cardinals matched their longest winning streak of the season and finished 97-65, their most since reaching 100 in 2005.
The Cubs finished last in the Central at 66-96. Jeff Samardzija (8-13) got the loss.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Hunter Pence singled home the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to lift the San Francisco Giants over San Diego.
Francisco Peguero hit his first career home run leading off the ninth to tie it as Huston Street (2-5) blew his second save in 35 chances.
Pence drove in three runs. Jedd Gyorko hit a grand slam for the Padres and Nick Hundley homered.
Sergio Romo (5-8) pitched the ninth for the win.
The Giants, who last season won their second World Series title in three years, finished 76-86 and tied for third with the Padres, 16 games behind the NL West champion Dodgers.
PHOENIX (AP) — A.J. Pollock beat out a run-scoring infield single in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks sent Washington manager Davey Johnson into retirement with a loss.
The Diamondbacks scratched out a pair of runs off Ryan Mattheus (0-2) in the eighth to finish the season at 81-81.
David Hernandez (5-6) pitched a perfect eighth and Brad Ziegler closed out the ninth for his 13th save.
Washington failed in the final game of a career by Johnson that spanned six decades, but still finished 11 games above .500 at 86-76. The Nationals won the NL East last season.
NEW YORK (AP) — Eric Young Jr. won the NL stolen base crown and helped the New York Mets rally when Milwaukee botched two bunts in the eighth inning.
Young swiped two bases in the first, scored on a shallow sacrifice fly and later threw out a runner at the plate from left field. He began the day tied for the NL lead in steals at 44 with Milwaukee shortstop Jean Segura, who sat out for the 10th time in 11 games because of a strained right hamstring.
Vic Black (3-0) pitched a hitless inning nd Frank Francisco struck out two for his first save since Sept. 1 last year. Brandon Kintzler (3-3) got the loss.
Before the game, former Mets slugger Mike Piazza was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame during a 30-minute ceremony on the field.

So I was perusing Weather.com trying to figure out if it was going to be 85 or 43 degrees in Chicago on a given day, and what should I happen upon but this story about an "alien-looking skeleton" that "poses a medical mystery."
After watching the video of this tiny skeleton discovered in the Atacama Desert, all I can say is calling this a "medical mystery" is the understatement of the year.
It's a freaking goddamn baby alien skeleton, people. That's scrotum-shrinkingly weird.
I would say check out the pictures of this dome-headed, tiny alien skeleton except you won't be able to fall asleep for a month. Jesus Christ, just when I'd gotten the Montauk Monster out of my memory this thing comes along.
Sure, the scientists are talking like this is just a couple of deformities and maybe some screwy DNA, but come on, scientists, we're not stupid. This thing only has ten ribs, whereas humans have twelve; it's six inches long even though DNA tests say it was between six and eight years old; oh yeah, and it looks like a f***ing alien.
So what's the plan here, aliens? Are you invading us with your babies? Did your babies build the pyramids and the Easter Island statues? Or maybe you're all just that size, and you're messing with our heads by using the alien-human hybrids you've implanted among the population (Obama, LeBron) to craft a narrative that you're not so diminutive?
Or what if the aliens saw the last two to three seasons of "X-Files" and were like, "Wow, did that show plummet downhill. And what's with the second movie, 'X-Files: I Want to Believe' where Mulder and Scully are like playing house and Mulder is wanted by the FBI until he performs like the barest of consulting gigs on this pedophile psychic, and there's also something about cutting people's heads off to stick them on other bodies, and really the whole movie is just total dogshit, and there's even a scene where Scully has to perform some kind of experimental stem cell procedure on a dying kid, so she Googles 'stem cell therapy'—Oh, I'm sorry, your surgeon is going to begin her experimental procedure by Googling the procedure? I don't think so, 'X-Files: I Want to Believe.' We need to drop some of our dead babies on to Earth just in the hopes that Chris Carter and Vince Gilligan will do one more X-Files movie that isn't a pile of putrid garbage."
What if that's the plot behind the baby alien skeleton?

Experts Gather in Philadelphia to Discuss AIDS in Black Communities
August 30, 2010
Philadelphia AIDS-service organization BEBASHI Transition to Hope hosted two panel discussions on August 25 to discuss the potential impact of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) on Black Americans and also to share findings from the 18th International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010), held in Vienna, Austria, this past July.
A National AIDS Strategy, but Where Is the Funding?
James Albino, senior program manager of the White House's Office of National AIDS Policy, gave an overview of the Obama administration's new strategy. The plan has three primary goals:
The NHAS calls for the annual number of new infections to be reduced by 25 percent by 2015.
"We have communities that are at high risk, that have been living in the shadows for too long, and we need to develop strategies that track where the epidemic is," said Albino. "We hope to realign resources that target those populations. We are looking at intensifying prevention efforts in communities."
According to Albino, an additional $30 million in federal funding will be allotted for HIV prevention, most focused toward gay and bisexual men of all ethnicities and African American men and women.
However, panel member Jesse Milan Jr., vice president and director of Altarum Institute, a nonprofit that conducts health-systems research, countered that the $30 million is not enough funding to reduce HIV transmission.
"I can tell you how much more money we need to reduce HIV infection in the next five years, and it is not $30 million -- it is $4.7 billion," said Milan, who last year chaired the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's external peer-review committee for the division of infection disease. Milan, who is also board-chair emeritus of the Black AIDS Institute, said that African Americans must advocate for more funding.
"We need to understand what we are up against, both for the federal implementation of this plan but also in our communities. Too many people have not gone to get tested because of the stigmas in our own communities, our own families, our own churches and our own neighborhoods, and too many people have not been accessing care for that very same reason," Milan said.
Once the NHAS's implementation plan is completed, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will work with communities to develop statewide plans.
"We hope that we will get more money for testing to find the 20 to 25 percent of those people who don't know they are infected with the disease," said Susan B. Wyche, a Philadelphia-area HHS resource consultant on the panel.

Noel MacNeal (b. September 15, 1961) is a performer who has worked on several Henson productions since the 1980s. Born and raised in New York City's Central Harlem, he began his career as a puppeteer on the television series The Great Space Coaster and later made his way to Sesame Street, joining the show in 1982 as a "puppet wrangler".[1] His most well-known work has been in his portrayal of Bear, the lead character in Bear in the Big Blue House in 1997. During his time on the show, he served as principal performer, director, and wrote a few episodes. In 2005, he reprised the role for Breakfast with Bear.
The first Muppet he performed was a store clerk in a sketch for Sesame Street; he had one line, to tell Grover that his register was closed and to go to another line, which he flubbed.[2] Other characters have included the full-bodied Mommy Snuffleupagus and various Snuffleupagus relatives on Sesame Street (including Daddy Snuffle from the unaired Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce), as well as Madame Chairbird in Follow That Bird. He also doubled for Caroll Spinney puppeteering Big Bird in a scene when he's running from Bert and Ernie's plane.[1] Years later, he puppeteered Big Bird again in the 2010 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[3] In addition to performing, he has played an active role in hiring and training puppeteers for local Sesame Street productions in Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Jordan, Palestine, and India.
His more prominent non-Henson credits include the baby dragon Magellan on Eureeka's Castle, Leon MacNeal in Puzzle Place, and Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. He is also currently the resident puppeteer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.[4]

This isn't the first time we've spotted Land Rover testing the next-generation Range Rover, but this time we got an even better impression of how the big Rover will adopt the design cues of its smaller Evoque sibling.
Although the new Range Rover will continue to be a boxy, upright SUV, expect the rear windshield to slope sharply in keeping with the Evoque. The test mule seen in these spy photos even has fake D-pillar extensions designed to hide the more aggressive slope of the rear glass. The roofline also will take a lesson from the Evoque and decline slightly toward the rear of the SUV, whereas on the current model the roof is almost parallel with the road. The Range Rover's nose will likely wear a redesigned fascia, grille, and headlights, all of which are obscured by camouflage in these images.
The cabin likewise manages to ape the Evoque by borrowing that model's steering wheel and touch-screen infotainment system. Under the skin, look for the next Range Rover to use more aluminum and drop its curb weight by at least 1000 pounds. It should also get new, more fuel-efficient engines including turbodiesels and updated V-8s. The powertrains currently on offer in the Range Rover date back to a 2005 refresh of the model.
There's no word yet on when the next Land Rover Range Rover might debut. We can probably expect to see the luxury SUV by the end of this calendar year, or early in 2013.

Waterford names new high school principal
Waterford — The Board of Education on Wednesday named Andre Hauser, principal of Coginchaug High School, as the new principal of Waterford High School.
Hauser, 43, will fill a vacancy created by the planned departure of current principal Donald Macrino. Hauser will join the Waterford school system in May.
"I'm very excited about it, it's a tremendous opportunity," Hauser said by phone Wednesday afternoon. "It's an exciting opportunity to be in a position to work with a faculty in such a state-of-the-art facility. The progress the faculty has made over the last few years and the incredible gains they've had with CAPT (Connecticut Academic Performance Test), this is clearly a faculty that has figured out how to do things well."
Coginchaug High School, which is part of the Region 13 school district, serves students from Durham and Middlefield. Hauser became the school's assistant principal in 2003 and has been principal there since July 2010.
During his time at Coginchaug, Hauser held school climate as a priority and focused on improving instructional quality through effective supervision.
In 2008, he was recognized as the Connecticut Association of Schools' Assistant Principal of the Year.
Hauser holds a sixth-year degree in educational leadership from the University of Connecticut, a master's degree in teaching from Sacred Heart University and a bachelor's degree in journalism and English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Macrino will retire in June, at the end of his 17th year as Waterford High's principal. He announced his retirement last year but agreed to stay on for another year to oversee the opening of the new high school next month.
In 2008, he was named state Principal of the Year by the Connecticut Association of Schools and this year entered his 40th year as an educator, with 20-year positions in both New London and Waterford schools.
Macrino and Hauser — who were both at the same 2008 CAS banquet to accept their awards — will work together for the last month of school.
Coginchaug has had a Bring Your Own Device policy for the past two years, which allows students to bring their own laptops, e-readers or iPads to school. Hauser said Wednesday the program has been successful and he hopes to bring its success to Waterford.
"It's really changed the environment in terms of what we've been able to do with learning," he said. "The new high school building is designed with that in mind. There's Wi-Fi access everywhere, it's a technology-rich environment. Now we need to figure out how to best use it and capitalize on the skills the faculty already have."
He said he's had the opportunity to visit the "remarkable" new high school in Waterford, which will open to students on April 8. The grand opening is scheduled for April 20.
"The community should really be proud of what they've invested in for the students," Hauser said.
Hauser, his wife, Lisa, and their two sons plan to stay in their home in Madison.
Superintendent Jerome Belair said in a press release Wednesday that the district is "fortunate to have Hauser's outstanding leadership skills and instructional expertise (to) support the work already in progress."

Look for excesses in habits like nicotine, drugs, clenching or grinding of teeth. Other habits like nail or hairpin biting, neck or jaw habits contribute to imbalance and disharmony.
The key is balance. A diet rich in natural foods, in as close to a natural state as possible, is physically the most rewarding. For an in-depth view at the deeper meaning of nutrition read the "Yoga of Nutrition" by Mikhael Aivanhov.

Emdonds singled in the second inning (a gift by the scorer, since a healthy Furcal could jump 2 feet higher), before scoring on the Mark DeRosa HR.
After that, Edmonds contributions were nothing. He was charged with an error on a ball he couldn't handle off the wall. Then, for a man that plays a shallow CF, he couldn't come up with a blopper to center.
Like I said, he would come back to hurt us. Our only hope is that Big Good Z steps up tonight to even the series. Anyway, the Jim Edmonds Magic Number is down to:

Malaysia PM Calls For Real-Time Tracking Of Planes
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has called for real-time tracking of planes and improvement to communication systems to prevent a repeat of the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370.
In an opinion piece Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal, Najib urged the global aviation industry to make changes that would "make it harder for an aircraft to simply disappear, and easier to find any aircraft that did."
He said "real-time tracking of commercial planes is long overdue."
The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people was traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 when it disappeared.
The search coordination center says an Australian ship carrying a robotic submarine returned on Monday to part of the Indian Ocean near where underwater sounds were heard last month.

Could energy drinks be harmful to your health? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pondering on the same question.
The New York Times is reporting a letter released Tuesday written by the Department of Health & Human Services states officials may seek help from outside experts to further investigate whether energy drinks pose a major risk, particularly to teenagers. The letter was addressed to Senator Richard J. Durbin.
"In particular, we are looking at whether products that may be safe for most individuals under labeled-use conditions may pose significant risks, arising from direct toxic effects, when the products are consumed in excess or by vulnerable groups, including young people and those with pre-existing cardiac or other conditions," stated the letter. "This review includes investigating as fully as possible reported deaths and other serious adverse events that these reporting parties have associated with energy drinks."
The letter is a follow-up to the FDA's ongoing investigation of several deaths and non-fatal injuries that may have been caused by popular products with high levels of caffeine. The New York Times is reporter the agency received reports of 18 deaths and over 150 injuries mentioning possible involvement of energy drinks.
Earlier in October, parents of a 14-year-old girl filed a wrongful death suit in Riverside, Calif. after their child drank two cans of Monster Energy Drinks in 24 hours. The girl's family insisted Monster failed to warn consumers about the risks of drinking its products. While an autopsy concluded she died of cardiac arrhythmia due to caffeine toxicity, the medical examiner also found the girl had an inherited disorder that can weaken blood vessels.
Officials said a review of the drinks might be "greatly enhanced by also engaging specialized expertise" from an outside group, like the Institute of Medicine, which is part of the National Academy of Sciences.
In addition, the FDA is hoping medical records will give experts further insight on how energy drinks may potential cause significant reactions to the body.
"In general, FDA does not have the authority to require the production of medical records by families or health care providers, but we are requesting that such records be provided on a voluntary basis, even as we remain sensitive to the wishes of families and the constraints under health care providers operate in light of state and local laws governing disclosure," said the letter.
Although the FDA caps the amount of caffeine in soda to 0.02 percent, there is no such limit for energy drinks.
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman issued subpoenas to energy drink makers like Monster in August, as part of the state's investigation of the energy drink industry. Then in September, Senators Dick Durbin and Richard Blumenthal asked the FDA to further look into the effects of caffeine and other ingredients in energy drinks on children.

Port City sports apparel business up and running
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
- Kara Welch had hardly hung her shingle before word got out in the athletic apparel industry that she was starting her own business.
After 15 years in the industry, working for the likes of Reebok, Timberland, New Balance and Vision, Welch gained a reputation in the field of athletic apparel product design and development.
She started Athena Apparel Solutions LLC in 2010 out of her home. Through word of mouth, the company has grown to three employees and a small office in the heart of Market Square in the downtown.
In three short years the company can also already claim big name clients including Reebok, New Balance, Sperry Top-Sider and Sauce Hockey.
In 2014, New Balance will launch a new golf apparel line designed by Athena, and an area company, Spirit Designs, will launch a new line of paddleboard wear also designed by Welch and Athena employee Kim Ortengren.
Welch said what makes Athena unique is the full service provided for clients, from ideas to production.
Athena can handle design, technical design, development, sourcing, merchandising, as well as researching trends in fashion and innovation of fabrics.
Welch said she always knew she wanted to work in the clothing industry. Her mother was a seamstress, and Welch began sewing at a young age. She earned her undergraduate degree in clothing and textile design at Framingham State University and went on to do a post-graduate program at the Paris Fashion Institute.
"I followed my dream and passion even though many guidance counselors said 'No, you are not going to make any money,'" Welch said.
From Paris, she launched directly into the industry, traveling from Reebok to Timberland to New Balance and back to the Seacoast, an area she fell in love with when she came to work for Bauer Hockey in 2003.
Welch said she also knew she wanted to focus on athletic wear, and gets excited talking about the things fabrics are capable of. The newly developed golf shirts feature SPF, effective moisture management and are anti-microbial.
Working with athletic wear, Welch said she feels she is doing more than just designing clothes.
"You are contributing to someone's overall feeling about their performance," Welch said.
Working in the industry she saw a need for a company like Athena to which larger brands could outsource.
"Sperry knows footwear, not apparel, so we are able to take a lot of risk and weight off them. They don't have the overhead and headcount, but still have control over the product by working with someone like us," Welch said.
She said someday she hopes Athena will launch its own line, but right now she is content to help other companies achieve their dreams.
"I take great pride in someone else being successful because of the services we can offer," Welch said.
She said she is content with where the company is right now, but would like to see it grow.
"Everything is working really well so we are ready for that next step. We really want to grow our client base," Welch said.
Welch said about half of her clients currently come from Massachusetts, and many friends wondered why she did not locate in Boston.
"I find Portsmouth to be a very entrepreneurial city. I am surprised by the amount of friends I have with their own business, or freelancing or consulting," Welch said. "It has been an inspirational place for me to pursue my dream."

Edit: Also, Faris Papa's case was easy because apparently the Point of Divergence was addresed correctly by Faris. Mayuri Death's PoD isn't addressed correctly until very much later in the game, right?

What? No it wasn't. The only world lines established in the game were alpha and beta, alpha being the SERN dystopia line and beta being the WW3 line. You spend the majority of the game on the alpha line without changing it. The minor .07% divergence with the d-mails aren't changing world lines. Suzuha states that divergence needs to reach at least 1% to change world lines.
Though I guess it's true that in Faris's dad's case, the 'cause' really was just as simple as 'which form of transportation he took'. And the reason why changing world lines saves Mayuri has nothing to do with jumping world lines itself, but just the fact that their 'cause' all happens to be "SERN creates a Dystopia"(or perhaps more directly, because SERN caught wind of them. Perhaps you could say that SERN catching wind of them=
SERN creating a dystopia) and that jumping world lines is the only way to stop that, so by proxy, jumping world lines is the only way to save Mayuri(and Moeko etc.)
Though it's kind of weird that everyone else's 'cause' is tied to the SERN dystopia thing and he's not. Especially since they go out of their way to state that he was the only casualty of his accidenty Just seemed to me like they were trying to imply that there was supposed to be something more to that, but I guess not. I mean, it WAS like 8 years ago before SERN caught notice of the group, even if he did own the IBN5100. Not to mention he wasn't nearly as connected to everyone else to begin with.
Makes sense, after thinking about it. World lines and deaths are technically unrelated, but most of the deaths that oocur in the game are related to SERN which would incidentally require a world line jump. That put me under the illusion that preventing death=you must jump world lines, which is obviously wrong and stupid of me!
Ok, in place of that, how about another question. How come at the end of Luca's route, they can just continue living their life happily without having to worry about SERN, without taking any further measures to stop them? Well I know I should be forgiving since it's just a little optional route ending, but that's kind of weird. Every other route at least provided an explanation.

And I can't remember what the exact answer was since I don't have the book on me but the dystopia still occurs in Ruka's ending just that they don't want to ruin a happy ending, lol...
The two of them live on with guilt knowing they could have saved Mayuri but they were also willing to spend what little time there was left together before the dystopia... Love is selfish.

But Faris daddy's death was evaded the first time without changing any major events, right? All she did was get him to take the train instead of a plane and boom, he lived. Now I'm even more confused. Though I forgot about the year 2000 being important to the timeline as well(and that's around when his death happened, right.)
I don't know why the 2000 bug makes it so that his death is undetermined. Maybe something similar to why Chris's death wasn't completely predetermined on July 28th? I think I remember Suzuha saying something about it also being an important moment in convergence and her dying and living being a 50/50 chance? Perhaps that's why tricking Okabe's POV was able to save her. And that if it was a normal predetermined death, she would have died regardless of tricking Okabe or not. But Okabe witnessing the death was a huge step in the world deciding upon her life or death... or something. But... no. Chris's life and death itself seems to be the big 'timeline changing event' in 2010 whereas Faris dad's death is just a death that takes place around the same time that another timeline changing event occurred so it wouldn't be comparable.
Well whatever. God damn awesome game, that's all that matters

Well, Feyris' dad's death is tied to the Millenium Bug but another significant event, SERN completing the time machine, occurs. This later significant event alters the past and so Feyris' dad's death is no longer completely determined by the Millenium Bug event. That's why Feyris was able to change his fate using a D-Mail.
In Kurisu's case, her life and death is important but it isn't the big significant event. Her death is actually tied to the survival of the time travel documents.
To save her, Okabe had to do two things.
First, trick himself and Nakabachi into thinking Kurisu was dead. This would have just temporarily saved Kurisu and she would have ended up dying in other ways like Mayuri but, this is crucial so that Okabe ends up having the strong will to help complete the time machine and in turn, allow him to carry this and the next step out.
The next step was to make sure the time travel documents were burned so that they are never exposed to the world - the significant event Kurisu's death is tied to. By making sure the documents were burned, she is saved for certain in the new "Steins Gate" timeline.
You could probably think of it this way - each significant event are the ripples caused by throwing a stone into the water and things that happen to people are the results of these ripples. Each wave can push, say a leave, further out.
When a second set of ripples is made, the waves interact with the last set so they alter how objects were supposed to have been affected previously.
And quick correction to Ruka's future with Okabe now that I can look back at the book... Dystopia occurs but that doesn't mean it's an unhappy future. When Okabe decided to abandon saving Mayuri, he also gave up on the development of the time machine and therefore, was no longer under the surveillance of SERN or considered a threat. He still dies in 2025 for one reason or another because, his death is still tied to the event when SERN completes the time machine thanks to their research progress.

Does that mean theoretically that Mayuri's death could have been avoided if another event important to the time line occurred later after her death, and then they sent d-mail after that event occurred, back to before she dies?
Though unfortunately, according to Suzuha, 2010 was the last time that happened. And there weren't any events like that even up until 2036(and if SERN's absolute control lasts a while, there probably wouldn't be another opportunity for a long, long time after 2036 at that), in which Okabe would already be dead, so it's only theoretical and impossible to put into practice.
Well, things make sense now anyway.

The 2010 event is exactly the one Mayuri's death is tied to, i.e. SERN discovering how to complete their time machine thanks to Okabe and Kurisu.
Even if Okarin managed to live until the dystopia event, D-Mail is too unpredictable for them to rely on. The best bet was for what happened - Suzuha using an actual time machine to retrieve the IBN5100 and erase traces of their accidental discovery.

They are probably gonna cut down Ruka's chapter to also one episode, which would leave 6 episodes, and I believe that should be enough to animate the rest of S;G. Two episodes for Moeka's chapter, one episode for chapter 10, and two episodes for the true end seems most likely and should be able to do the job.

They most likely are going to cut Ruka's chapter to one ep, like they have with Suzuha's and Feris's chp's so far. Seeing as the anime is taking the true end, there really isn't a need to spend more than an ep per character route.
There's plenty of time to finish the series with a fairly good pace seeing as they've been good so far about it.

the vn seems so perfect to be converted into anime. But airing a Mayushi ending seems impossible. Episode 19 will be for Moeka, 20 and 21 for FB's appearance and back story. What else can be added into the remaining episodes? Or they will make a lot of omakes like Toaru Majutsu. Worst will be the studio waste the last episode for flash-backs like in Clannad.

Do you have some .ogg files that you want to convert to MP4 files so you can listen to them on your phone? Maybe you can only get your favorite song or lecture in the ogg format. Fortunately for you, we've put together a simple guide for converting OGG files into MP4. With OGG to MP4 file converter, you can turn those OGG files into MP4s and be on your way. OGG to MP4 Converter offers you an easy and fast way to convert OGG to MP4 audio with high quality. Audio Transcoder is an advanced OGG to MP4 Converter and Audio CD Ripper with support of various popular audio formats and encoders. It currently converts between MP3, MP2, M4A/M4B/MP4/M4R/ALAC, AIFF, WMA, AC3, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, AAC, WAV and APE formats. People often search for "ogg to mp4 converter online" or "how to convert ogg to mp4 online" without realizing that uncompressed audio files are large in size and by the time you upload, convert and download the files you are better off downloading OGG to MP4 converter on your PC and perform convention locally = 0 second waiting for uploading and downloading. With OGG to MP4 Converter you easily rip your audio CDs to MP4, FLAC or WMA files for use with your hardware player or convert files that do not play with other audio software. You can even convert whole music libraries retaining the folder and filename structure. The integrated CD ripper supports the CDDB/freedb online CD database. It will automatically query song information and write it to ID3v2 or other title information tags. Have any questions regarding OGG to MP4 Converter? See the below Frequently Asked Questions.
Free download OGG to MP4 Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert OGG to MP4.
The first step is to select the files to convert ogg to mp4. Run OGG to MP4 Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the OGG to MP4 Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in OGG to MP4 Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.
You can also set the OGG to MP4 Converter to delete a source file after conversion and preserve the the original folder structure, when doing batch conversion.
Finally, you should select the output format and audio quality. In the MP4 dialog box, choose the format settings for the final MP4 files. Depending on quality you need, select the bitrate of the file, sample rate and the number of channels. You will probably lose some audio content if you choose the mono option. You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample rate used by audio CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - ogg to mp4 conversion.
Click Convert button to start to convert OGG to MP4 or other audio format you desired. A conversion dialog will appear to show the progress of ogg to mp4 conversion.

A: Ogg is a multimedia container format, and the native file and stream format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs. As with all Xiph.org technology is it an open format free for anyone to use. As with most container formats it encapsulates raw compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data inside a single convient format. Other examples of container formats are Quicktime .mov, the MPEG program stream, and AVI. In addition to encapsulation and interleave of multiple data streams, Ogg provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps for seeking, and in a small, bounded percentage bitrate overhead. Ogg is a stream oriented container, meaning it can be written and read in one pass, making it a natural fit for internet streaming and use in processing pipelines. This stream orientation is the major design difference over other file-based container formats.

A: MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, it allows streaming over the Internet. The only official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, but many have other extensions, most commonly .m4a and .m4p. M4A (audio only) is often compressed using AAC encoding (lossy), but can also be in Apple Lossless format. M4P is a protected format which employs DRM technology to restrict copying. MPEG-4 Part 14 (formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003) is a standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. While the only official filename extension defined by the standard is .mp4, various filename extensions are commonly used to indicate intended content: MPEG-4 files with audio and video generally use the standard .mp4 extension. Audio-only MPEG-4 files generally have a .m4a extension. This is especially true of non-protected content. MPEG-4 files with audio streams encrypted by FairPlay Digital Rights Management as were sold through the iTunes Store use the .m4p extension. iTunes Plus tracks, that the iTunes Store currently sells, are unencrypted and use .m4a accordingly. Audiobook and podcast files, which also contain metadata including chapter markers, images, and hyperlinks, can use the extension .m4a, but more commonly use the .m4b extension. An .m4a audio file cannot "bookmark" (remember the last listening spot), whereas .m4b extension files can. The Apple iPhone uses MPEG-4 audio for its ringtones but uses the .m4r extension rather than the .m4a extension. Raw MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams are named .m4v but this extension is also sometimes used for video in MP4 container format. Mobile phones use 3GP, an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 12 (a.k.a. MPEG-4/JPEG2000 ISO Base Media file format), similar to MP4. It uses .3gp and .3g2 extensions. These files also store non-MPEG-4 data (H.263, AMR, TX3G). M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio and is a filename extension used to represent audio files. The existence of two different filename extensions, .MP4 and .M4A, for naming audio-only MP4 files has been a source of confusion among users and multimedia playback software. Some file managers, such as Windows Explorer, look up the media type and associated applications of a file based on its filename extension. But since MPEG-4 Part 14 is a container format, MPEG-4 files may contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams, making it impossible to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone. In response, Apple Inc. started using and popularizing the .m4a filename extension, which is used for MP4 containers with audio data in the lossy Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or its own Apple Lossless (ALAC) formats. Software capable of audio/video playback should recognize files with either .m4a or .mp4 filename extensions, as would be expected, since there are no file format differences between the two. Most software capable of creating MPEG-4 audio will allow the user to choose the filename extension of the created MPEG-4 files.

My concern lies with Obi-Wan and R2 - with them both being packed two per case, and from what I've seen in terms of leftovers so far, those are almost always what's left. While the new Obi-Wan has some redeeming qualities, we've had too many of them in the last year. Fortunately, it's only the first wave, we'll see how they do in the initial wave of popularity for the 30AC.Should have included another McQuarrie Trooper and one or the other of the clones (probably the Marine) - I think even the SBD will cool off in the short term.'78

Are you engaging your fans on Pinterest?
Pinterest has been growing at an amazing pace. Recently, comScore reported that Pinterest grew by 4377% since May 2011.
This is because people like to be engaged with images.
The good thing about Pinterest is that every new post is an image around which a lot of engagement can be driven. So there's great potential to drive a lot of engagement on this social media network.
Here are 6 ways to drive more engagement with images on Pinterest.
#1: Run Competitions
People love taking part in competitions, whether it's to win a coupon, money, get their two minutes of fame or just for fun.
On Pinterest, you can run competitions where the winner is the user who pins the best pictures or has the Pinterest board with the best collection of pins. You could also do something creative like Peugeot Panama.
Peugeot Panama takes a picture of one of their cars and divides it into pieces. They pin one of these pieces of the picture onto a Pinterest board and ask their followers to pin the rest of the pieces onto one of their boards and share it with Peugeot Panama.
Their Pinterest followers have to go to Peugeot's Facebook page or website to find the missing pieces of the picture. Usually the first 5 people to complete the picture win a prize.

Woodrow Rossell, 95 - January 30, 2014Woodrow A. "Woody" Rossell, 95, of Kenesaw died Thursday, Jan. 30, 2014, at Mary Lanning Hospital in Hastings.
Memorial services took place on Monday, Feb. 3, at St. Paul Lutheran Church with the Rev. Donald Becker officiating. Burial was at the Eaton Cemetery at Heartwell with Military Rites provided by the Minden American Legion and the Heartwell VFW.
Rossell was born April 10, 1918, at Cadillac, MI, to Theodore and Eva (McLutes) Rossell. He grew up in Mesick, MI, and graduated from high school in Mesick.
On Dec. 31, 1940, he married Veral Hatch. To this union, two children were born.
He served with the U.S. Army during World War II in the Pacific Theatre and was part of the occupation of Japan.
After serving in the military, he and his family lived in Michigan and then moved to Hastings in 1951. He worked as a mechanic and car salesman, later working in the clothing department at J.M McDonald's.
Rossell's wife preceded him in death in 1995, after 55 years of marriage.
He married Micky Woverton in 1998 on his 80th birthday, who then passed away in 2011.
Rossell was a member of the Heartwell VFW and the Hopping Sam's Camper Club.
He and his wife enjoyed the winters in Arizona for many years, family members said. He also enjoyed big band music and learned to play the trumpet in high school. He played his trumpet in the Army band and played under John Philip Sousa at the Interlochen Music Camp in Interlochen, MI.
?Rossell enjoyed fishing his entire life, and especially loved taking his kids and grandchildren along, according to family members. He never knew a stranger and loved every moment he spent with friends, especially Buzz and Marg Hiatt and Doura Herman.
He was preceded in death by: his wives, Veral and Micky; his son, Gordon; five brothers.
Survivors include: his daughter, Sandy (Eddie) Kuehn of Heartwell; daughter in-law, Sue Rossell of Gothenburg; seven grandchildren—Marcia (Nate) Fox, Tracey Larson, Sara (Mike) Larsen, Rebecca (Kevin) Cacek, Shawn (Becky) Rossell, Randy Rossell and Corey (Amanda) Rossell; 13 great-grandchildren.
A memorial has been established to be donated for purchasing items for a local Hospice program.

A furious Range Rover owner, unhappy with the level of dealer service on his break-down happy vehicle, covered it in negative advertising and parked it in front of the dealer. That's gonna leave a mark.
The unnamed owner parked his Rover on a public street in front of Lookers Land Rover dealer in Colchester, England with his list of gripes and an advisement to avoid these cars should you want trouble free motoring. Since the vehicle is on a public road there's nothing the dealer can do. They have made a good will offer to help the owner into a new vehicle, but something tells us this guy won't be interested in another Rover any time soon. [Daily Mail]

Michael Vick said that he isn't receiving the calls other quarterbacks in the NFL receive when they get hit. The quarterback broke his right non-throwing hand today in the Eagles' 29-16 loss to the New York Giants.
Vick stayed in the game briefly, left for an X-ray and then returned. A first X-ray was negative, the Eagles said, and Vick went back into the game. However, after a second X-ray showed a hairline fracture, Vick was pulled. He's availability for next week is in question.
It was the second straight week that Vick did not complete a game he started. Last week against the Falcons he suffered a concussion.
Today's injury occurred late in the third quarter after Vick completed a 23-yard pass to receiver Jeremy Maclin. He was hit by Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty on the throw.
"After such a great play I felt like I got hit late," Vick said. "There's no flag. Broke my hand. That's it."
Vick was asked how exactly he broke his hand.
"It really don't matter where it was at," Vick said. "I was trying to protect myself. Still didn't get a flag. That's pretty much the story for the last three weeks. Obviously, at some point something catastrophic is going to happen and I broke my hand.
"Not to blame the refs or say it was their fault. It's just one of those unfortunate situations. I just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. If you look at all the replays I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'll be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated right now because of that."
Asked if he thought he wasn't getting calls that other quarterbacks get Vick said, "Absolutely."
"You all see it. There's no reason for me to go into a big disseration about why I'm not getting the calls," Vick said. "The refs -- they got to do their jobs, as well. I even mentioned it in training camp to the refs when we had our little meeting."
Vick was asked if he thought he could play next week when the Eagles host the 49ers.
"I don't know," he said. "I don't know if I'm going to be able to play next week. I don't know anything right now except my hand is broken and we got to figure out what's the next move."

Rachel Bilson & Hayden Christensen: Boot Bums
Rachel Bilson and her fiance Hayden Christensen (both wearing rain boots) meet up with Hayden's mom at a parking lot in Uxbridge, Ontario on Thursday (April 9).
Rachel was seen giving Hayden's mom a few gifts including a fun pair of rain boots (Hayden helped his mom take off the price tag). Hayden's mom must have liked the boots — she gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek. Looks like her daughter-in-law's a keeper!
Back in November, the couple was spotted checking in on the progress of the new farmhouse they are having built in Uxbridge.

ATLANTA (AP) — Mourners are set to gather for the funeral of former Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly in Atlanta.
Kelly's funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church. The 34-year-old was found dead May 1 of a suspected drug overdose.
Kriss Kross was introduced to the music world in 1992 by music producer-rapper Jermaine Dupri after he discovered the pair at a mall in southwest Atlanta. Kelly, who was known as "Mac Daddy," performed alongside Chris Smith, who was known as "Daddy Mac." The duo wore their clothes backward as a gimmick, but they won over fans with their raps.
Their first, and by far most successful song, was the 1992 hit "Jump," which became a No. 1 smash in the United States and globally.

Sociology can be described as "the systematic study of human society and social interaction." Sociologists study the effects of groups upon individuals, interactions among groups and organizations, and cultural beliefs that direct human behavior within a local and global context. Sociological research involves collecting information about social processes, which is used to test and develop sociological theories.
With a sociology major, you'll develop practical skills in writing, analytical and critical thinking, problem solving, data analysis, and research methods, highly coveted skills in today's competitive job market. In addition to these skills, a degree in sociology provides you with a distinctive and valuable perspective: the ability to consider social issues within the context of society as a whole and in relation to complex social systems.
