COMPLAINT: 3D PictureColored Outlines
If convergence faults similar to images in the Convergence Gallery are visible, you have a convergence circuit failure. Non-working convergence adjustment or Auto-focus also confirms a convergence failure.
If your TV operated normally before an obvious Convergence Failure, most likely the only problem is convergence failure.
If adjustments do not help, do not continue to adjust.Adjustments are saved in memory and when the circuit is repaired, extra time may be required to undo all of the adjustments tried over a 2-3 week period.
Known Causes:1. Convergence failure typically appears after Lightning Strikes or other Power Line fluctuations. Turn off/unplug TV when lightning, visible power fluctuations (lights dimming) or other power issues occur.  2. Convergence faults also often appear after moving the TV or collisions with vacuum cleaners.3. Excessive heat from sunlight or forced air furnaces also causes pre-mature convergance failure.

December 20, 2004
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., -- Marie-Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D., assistant professor of Nutrition Sciences in the School of Health Related Professions at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), has received the 2004 Future Leader award from the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI N.A.). The award provides St-Onge with funding for research into the effects of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil on weight loss.
Previous work by St-Onge and others has shown that medium-chain triglycerides increase energy expenditure and lead to changes in body composition when consumed as part of a controlled, weight maintenance diet.
"MCT oil has been suggested for use as a weight loss aid, but no research has so far examined its effects in a weight loss program," said St-Onge. "This award will fund a study to look at whether MCT oil should be promoted as part of a healthy weight loss plan and considered as functional food for weight management and the prevention of obesity."
"This award not only provides recognition of Dr. St-Onge's outstanding achievements, but also reflects most proudly on our university," said Harold P. Jones, Ph.D., dean of the School of Health Related Professions. "We are fortunate to have scientists of Dr. St-Onge's caliber at UAB."
St-Onge is the third member of UAB's faculty to receive this award, joining earlier recipients Timothy R. Nagy, Ph.D. and David B. Allison, Ph.D.
ILSI N.A. is a nonprofit scientific research and educational foundation headquartered in Washington, D.C. that identifies and evaluates food, nutrition and related food safety issues that are of importance to academic, government and industry scientists. The institute contributes to the scientific resolution of those issues for the benefit of the general public. Founded in 1985, ILSI N.A. has 60 corporate members.

George Salmon: from mathematics to theology
George Salmon was both a mathematician and a theologian. His first published theological work was in 1849, entitled Prayer. Given this, and the fact that he was ordained in 1845, it can be deduced that he also had a keen interest in theology during his early mathematical career. However, we can determine a definite shift from mathematics in his early academic career to theological studies in his later life, and I would like to suggest several factors that led him to this change of academic focus.
Firstly, perhaps it was a career choice made by Salmon, particularly surrounding the vacancy of the Erasmus Smith Professorship of Mathematics at Trinity College in 1862 that demonstrates the beginning of his shift in focus from mathematics to theology. The previous Professor of Mathematics, Charles Graves, resigned this position, and Gow [2] suggests that although Salmon would have been the worthiest candidate to fill this post, he did not offer himself for the position. He suggests that:-
For whatever reason, Salmon must have already decided to concentrate his energies in theology, instead of mathematics.Gow [2] does not speculate on the reason for Salmon's shift in focus to theology. However, he notes that at the same time a vacancy arose in the Divinity department, the Archbishop King's Lectureship in Divinity, with a salary equal to the Mathematical position (£700 per annum). Gow refers to C J Joly's biography of Salmon [3], who suggests that Salmon was led to believe that William Lee, a more senior theologian in the department, was not going to apply for the position. However, this was not the case, and Lee was chosen over Salmon due to Lee's seniority, as he had been a fellow since 1839. Salmon received his divinity promotion in 1866. However the events in 1862 demonstrate that Salmon's priority was now theological studies and he wished to further his academic career within the Divinity department.
Although I have suggested that the reason for Salmon's shift from mathematics was as a career choice, this still does not provide us a reason as to why this change occurred. Secondly therefore, and perhaps of more significance, Salmon's shift towards theology was likely influenced by the major changes and disputes within the Church of Ireland occurring at this time. This undoubtedly captured Salmon's attention, as he is often described as very outspoken. The discussions reached a climax in The Irish Church Act in 1869 that dissolved the statutory union between the Churches of England and Ireland, and declared that the Church of Ireland ceased to be established by law. This led to major ecclesiastical reform within the Church of Ireland, as reflected in the Preamble and Declaration from the Book of Common Prayer. 1870:-
Whereas it has been determined by the Legislature that on and after the first day of January, 1871, the Church of Ireland shall cease to be established by law; and that the Ecclesiastical Law of Ireland shall cease to exist as Law save as provided in the 'Irish Church Act, 1869;' and it hath thus become necessary that the Church of Ireland should provide for its own regulation.Thirdly, following on from the previous reason, we should allow for the change of direction taken by Salmon to be from a religious conviction. Salmon came from a strong religious background and was heavily involved in the church, so it should not be forgotten that he was a strongly religious man. Perhaps then it was simply from a personal conviction that this was God's will and leading for him that led Salmon to give priority to his theological studies.
Fourthly, perhaps Salmon had become bored with mathematics, or he felt he had exhausted his ability or had received criticism of his work. Gow notes that some mathematicians found his textbooks to be occasionally "definitely unclear and badly expressed." He completed his four influential textbooks from 1848 to 1862, and during this time he had also produced 40 papers. After this he produced few mathematical publications, with his last paper published in 1873.
It is interesting to note here that Salmon's professor, MacCullagh, committed suicide in 1847, an event that undoubtedly had an impact on Salmon. MacCullagh had written to Babbage in 1842, stating:_
I have grown very stupid of late, and regularly fail at everything I attempt. What the reason may be I cannot tell. But I begin to be of Newton's opinion, that after a certain age, a man may as well give up mathematics.Without wanting to overstate the impact MacCullagh's suicide may have had upon Salmon, perhaps he was influenced by Newton's sentiments also, and realised that he had exhausted his mathematical ability and decided to give up mathematical studies in favour of his other interests. On the subject of Salmon's shift from mathematics to theological studies, the Dictionary of Scientific Biography records [1]:-
Over the years Salmon became frustrated by the heavy load of tutoring and lecturing, much of it an elementary kind and was disillusioned because he was not made a professor, a promotion that would have relieved him of most of this load and given him more time for research. It must have been this which influenced him, in about 1860, to turn away from mathematics towards theological studies in which he had always been interested -- and which appeared to offer better prospects of promotion.Therefore we can assume that a catalogue of factors gradually shifted Salmon's focus from mathematics to theology. This began in 1862 when he failed to secure his mathematics promotion and shortly after this his first major theology work was published in 1864, The Eternity of Future Punishment. He did however still continue to have an interest in mathematics for the next decade or so, as it was not until 1873 that his last mathematical work was published, Periods of the Recurring Decimals of the Reciprocals of Prime Numbers. The pivotal moment of this shift was probably his appointment as the Regius Professor of Divinity at Trinity College in 1866.
In 1871 Salmon was appointed as the Chancellor of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, an important appointment given the critical changes the Church was experiencing at this time. Salmon produced the first of his four major theological works in 1881, on Non-Miraculous Christianity. The second came in 1885, a strong polemic entitled Introduction to the New Testament. From 1877 - 1887 he also wrote various articles on early church history for The Dictionary of Christian Biography.
In 1888 the Crown appointed Salmon the Provost of Trinity College. In the next year he produced his third and most controversial and important theological work, The Infallibility of the Church, which was a series of lectures in which he argues against the tradition of Papal Infallibly within the Roman Catholic Church. His fourth important theological work, Thoughts on Textual Criticism of the New Testament, was published in 1897. Salmon served as Provost until his death on 22 January 1904.
I will show below how Salmon's flair in the disciplines of both mathematics and theology complemented each other. Firstly, I will focus on his most famous theological work, his series of lectures on The Infallibility of the Church, to illustrate how his mathematical brilliance was a factor in his theological works, especially in his analytical approach and process orientated approach to find meaning and truth.
On reading Salmon's theological works I have found that they are written in a highly analytical style. He often sets his arguments out in what could be described as mathematical proofs, for example, setting out statements and proving or disproving them, or showing how two statements on a subject will contradict the other therefore disproving the overall concept. Some of his lectures have mathematical titles, for example, Milner's Axioms and The Argument in a Circle -- here Salmon addresses the concept of proof and examines the methods that have been used to 'prove' certain doctrines. He concludes in G Salmon, The Infallibility of the Church, 1888 edition, Lecture 4, that in some cases:-
It is not possible ... without being guilty of the logical fallacy of arguing in a circle.Salmon largely structures his theological writing around the absolutes of true and false: this is one of the reasons why his writing is so controversial. He often confidently demonstrates through argumentation how important concepts of the Roman Catholic Church are inherently incorrect. He usually sets out his arguments in the form of numbered lists, and frequently appeals to 'logic.' He is extremely thorough in his examination of all sides of an issue and offering a well-supported conclusion.
The following are some examples of this style, which can be traced in through all his theological writing. In G Salmon, The Infallibility of the Church, 1888 edition, Lecture 2 he writes:-
Thus, as long as anyone really believes in the infallibility of his Church, he is proof against any argument you can ply him with. Conversely, when faith in this principle is shaken, belief in some other Roman Catholic doctrine is sure also to be disturbed; for there are some of these doctrines in respect of which nothing but a very strong belief that the Roman Church cannot decide wrongly will prevent a candid inquirer from coming to the conclusion that she has decided wrongly. This simplification, then, of the controversy realises for us the wish of the Roman tyrant that all his enemies had but one neck. If we can but strike one blow, the whole battle is won.An example of an argument won by providing a counter example and thus disproving a greater theory appears in G Salmon, The Infallibility of the Church, 1888 edition, Lecture 5:-
From the title-page, as it appears on the paper cover of each, the two books appear to be both of the twenty-first thousand; but when we open the books, we find them further agreeing in the singular feature, that there is another title-page which describes each as of the twenty-fourth thousand. But at page 112 the question and answer which I have quoted are to be found in the one book, and are absent from the other. It is, therefore, impossible now to maintain that the faith of the Church of Rome never changes, when it is notorious that there is something which is now part of her faith which those who had a good right to know declared was no part of her faith twenty years ago.George Salmon's life and work is an excellent example of how complementary the study of both mathematics and theology can be, as I have demonstrated above. There has been much written on this matter, and there is little scope in this conclusion to expand on this topic properly. However, I would like to conclude by mentioning some of the commonalities between the two disciplines of mathematics and theology. Pythagoras said that:-
Number rules the universe ... Number is the within of all things.and that:-
Geometry is knowledge of the eternally existent.It is interesting that often, pure mathematics is misunderstood for its relevance to everyday life, yet the same statement is often made of matters of faith. The method of proof by induction can often be detected as the structure behind many theological arguments. A good example is when theologians attempt to outline an argument to show that God exists. The cosmological method for this begins with the statement that there is a created world. Let us call this statement A1. A1 is taken as fact. Then the statement A2 is made, something like the world is made up of contingent entities; using statement A1 this is also taken to be true; the world had a starting point, its creation, through whatever process. So A2 is true. The argument continues to the conclusion that this creative process must have begun with a non-contingent being, and the inductive step is taken to assume that this is the 'being that which we call God.' Similarly, the ontological argument for the existence of God uses the principle of the necessity of an uncaused cause, The created world is like a chain of caused evolutionary events, and this process rather than being an infinite regression series had a starting point, an uncaused cause, again 'the being that which we call God.'
Another example is that of infinity. The concept of God as infinite is a foundational principle of Christian belief. What is meant by infinite is infinity in both directions; that there is no beginning and no end to God, respective to many of the properties essential to God's character; infinite existence or timelessness, power, knowledge, goodness, love etc.

Don't ever critique Kanye West.
Veteran Canadian music producer Bob Ezrin is feeling West's wrath after he published a review of the rapper's latest album, "The Life of Pablo," in Bob Lefsetz newsletter. West turned to Twitter late Tuesday night to fire back at Ezrin – and then some.
"Has anybody ever heard of Bob Ezrin???" he began his rant. "What the f--k does he know about rap..."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The "Famous" artist didn't like what Ezrin (who has worked with Kiss, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel) had to say, which complimented West's work as a rapper but also claimed he wasn't quite at the level of Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, Tupac or Jay Z. Ezrin also criticized West's skills in the field of production, saying he isn't at Timbaland's level. None of this, obviously, sat well with Kim Kardashian's husband.
"I'm tired of old people that have no connection with anything trying to comment on music!" he continued. "Do something relevant... Please don't speak on me bro ever again!!!"
But he didn't stop there; West then involved Ezrin's children. The last time West brought up kids in a Twitter rant (involving Amber Rose), it didn't go so well, and he promised never to talk about them again. That didn't last...
"Your kids are ashamed of their dad... Sorry for speaking about kids...but could you imagine if you were Bob Ezrin's kids...," he mused. "I'm so sorry for them...I will send them free Yeezys to make up for the embarrassment that you have caused your family!"
At least they'll be getting free shoes. [[369971071,C]]
Let's be honest, though. This wouldn't be a West diatribe if there weren't a jab taken at Taylor Swift, his longtime frenemy. While tooting his own horn about the past albums he has released, West couldn't help but bring down Swift in the process.
"I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn't nominated for either and you know who has 2 albums of the year," he tweeted.
Swift probably isn't sweating it though, as she got her jab in for his "Famous" lyrics during the 2016 Grammys when she accepted her trophy for Album of the Year. "And as the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. [[368874621,C]]
"But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment."

There's no surefire way to avoid car accidents. If there were, you wouldn't need insurance (and we'd be selling refrigerators). But accidents do tend to happen more often in certain places and at certain times. We'll talk about a few accident hot spots and tell you how to reduce the risk on your ride.
You might think the drowsiness that accompanies a long road trip is more of a threat than cruising around your neighborhood. But car accidents often take place within just 25 miles of home. While this is due to the fact that most driving occurs close to home, the relaxation we feel caused by the repetition of driving through our own neighborhood likely plays a role.
If you've ever gotten home from work only to realize that your brain was on auto-pilot the whole drive, then you know this phenomenon. Driving in familiar places can cause us to rely more on muscle memory than on our active driving skills (making us less likely to be hyper-vigilant on the road).
The 2 most important things you can do to stay safe on a short neighborhood ride are the same things that will protect you on any ride: stay alert and buckle up. Seems like a no-brainer, but being active about these things really does make you a better, safer driver.
Try not to fall into a comfort zone when you're approaching your humble abode (or hilltop mansion). Even though you may know the route like the back of your hand, accidents are often caused by unpredictable elements like another driver, a crossing animal, or car equipment failure. And letting your guard down can decrease your responsiveness behind the wheel.
The stats also suggest the importance of buckling your seat belt even if you're just driving around the corner. A main reason drivers give for skipping on seat belts, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), is that they're only going a short distance. But buckling up, even close to home, is a habit worth getting into.
More cars on the road often means more risk for drivers. Not surprisingly, late afternoon and evening (the hours when most commuters are heading home) rank as the most dangerous times to drive. In fact, in 2013, a whopping 16 percent of fatal accidents happened between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The other most fatal time wasn't statistically far behind — 31 percent of fatal accidents occurred between 6 p.m. and midnight.
Though cramped city driving is known to whiten our knuckles, it's not city roads that feature in the scenes of most fatal accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that, in 2013, nearly 3,000 more fatal car accidents happened on rural roads than on busy urban streets.
Those country roads and wide-open spaces figure prominently into fatal car accident rates per capita: West Virginia, Mississippi, Montana, and North Dakota have the most, according to the Department of Transportation. When it comes to overall numbers, it's not surprising that the most populous states are home to the most traffic deaths. Texas is great for many things (tasty barbeque, rousing rodeos…), but according to the NHTSA, the Lone Star State had the most fatal car accidents in 2013 with 3,044. California wasn't too far behind with 2,772, and Florida came in third with 2,228.
To further help drivers understand where accidents happen, check out which states had the most fatal car accidents in each region in 2012.

Living in a state, city, or area that's prone to accidents may result in a higher car insurance premium. But that's just one of many factors taken into account when your rate is determined, and it plays a smaller role than your own proud history of safe driving.
Understanding when and where accidents often happen can help you stay alert and safe behind the wheel. And that typically means lower insurance premiums over time. In other words, more savings for you.

Charlie Palmer's District Tavern in Denver's LoDo 'hood, no longer District Meats (Girl Walks Into a Bar)
From the beers to the burgers and beyond, getting a drink at Charlie Palmer's District Tavern, formerly known as District Meats, is no small affair.
Opened in November by New York restaurateur Charlie Palmer, the District Tavern is outsized in almost every way. Huge, round "clouds" hover over the dining room, suspended from high ceilings and reflecting light back down. The enormous bar runs almost the entire length of the space. Massive TV screens loom over the bar, showing gnarly ski and snowboard footage. Even the former name is bold: District Meats, leaving no doubt as to what's going on in the kitchen.

John's Phone made it to Fast Company's Co.Design list of best ideas in Interface.
Suzanne Labarre (Fast Company):
'John Doe Amsterdam, the designers of John's Phone, take the opposite, less-is-more approach to phones. To that end, their cell device — which they bill as "the world's simplest" — does just two things: It takes and receives calls anywhere around the globe. Nothing else. The idea here is to do away with all the useless special features that make cell technology wasteful and inaccessible to many users. Appropriately, the interface is stripped down to its most basic parts — an oversized number pad and graphic call and hangup keys that even a toddler could figure out.'

In the HuffPo:
"The party right now is a holding company that's devoid of a soul and it will be filled up with ideas over time and leaders will take their proper place," he said.
"We can't be known as a party that's fear-based and doesn't believe in math," he added. "In the end it will come down to a party that believes in opportunity for all our people, economic competitiveness and a strong dose of libertarianism." [emphasis added]
I'm not sure that Huntsman's characterization of the Republicans as fear-based is anything more than a liberal talking point he's internalized. However, I'd like to think he is right in the last sentence.

While the main character in the new action title Warp from Trapdoor may look cute and cuddly, don't be fooled. The alien known simply as Zero is a deadly being that has the ability to warp through walls and into objects… including his human captors. Kidnapped in the name of science, Zero is trapped in an underwater laboratory and seeks to escape and return home.
Take a look at some of the gameplay in the official trailer above then keep reading for Geek.com's mini-review.
Having logged a few hours playing Warp, I can say that it certainly is a fun title. The game reminds me of a mash-up between classic Splinter Cell and any of the third person Super Mario games that have been released over the years. With Zero's warping ability, you can choose whether you want to stealth your way to the finish of each level, or you can take the "kill 'em all" approach, which is equally as challenging. Add in the fact that the title is a platformer that contains obstacles that rely heavily on button timing to clear, and you have a game that is both challenging and entertaining.
Along with the main storyline, there are challenges that are peppered throughout the laboratory to add an additional layer of gameplay. Much like the Comet Challenges you find in Super Mario Galaxy 2, these levels are tougher to master and will entertainingly frustrate completionist gamers who have the need to finish everything in the game.
While the graphics and the NPC actions aren't mind-blowing, they really just window dressing for the obstacles you must navigate to win. Non-threats to your characterm like the lab's scientists, will simply cower in a corner and act scared, which gets fairly repetitive. Far more challenging and entertaining are the soldiers that will try to shoot and kill you on sight (which they are quite good at) and the level bosses that use a variety of methods to wipe you out of existence.
When it comes to upgrading Zero's powers and abilities, Warp employs a store mechanic to balance the game experience. Scattered throughout the game are "grubs," little formations of protoplasm-looking items that you need to collect as you go. Stationed along your path in the game are various computer terminals in which you can buy upgrades and powerups using the collected grubs like currency. Of course, gathering every single grub in the game is difficult, as some require some inventive maneuvering.
Of the two methods of game strategy that can be used, I found a mix between a full frontal assault and stealth to work best for my style of play. Killing humans in the game consists of warping Zero into their bodies, then moving the analog stick (I use a 360 controller connected to my PC) rapidly to cause my target to explode. It's pretty satisfying to witness, especially if you have been trying to stealth your way through an area only to be blown away over and over again.
At $9.99 you really can't go wrong with buying this title. It is an entertaining game, and if you enjoy overcoming challenging obstacles then you certainly won't be sorry laying down the coin to get it.
Warp is available on Origin as well as Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Some of you may know that the first and middle names we've chosen for baby boy have the initials "J.E."
My husband Jody (Eldon), his dad (Jerry Eldon) and his grandpa (Judd Elwood) all have the same initials as well, though each have different names (i.e. no juniors).
At first we weren't sure if we were going to carry on the tradition because we couldn't find a "J" name that we both really liked. As time went on, however, we found one that we both agree on, and, after we told it to Ava and she started calling the baby by it (though she calls him "baby brother" the majority of the time), it pretty much stuck. 🙂
Any guesses (both first and middle name)? We told some friends a while back that we were naming him "Jedi" and one of them has been calling him that ever since. 😉 Maybe I will have a prize if anyone can successfully guess. 🙂 Though I will not be revealing the name (or winner) until he is born.
Just a heads-up that I will likely be writing about my thoughts/opinions regarding circumcision in the next few days. Since we are having a boy this time around, whether or not to circumcize is something we obviously had to consider (though we both pretty much already knew our son would remain intact). However, I wanted to do some research on it and the things I read and saw only strengthened my decision to leave my son's penis intact. So I'll be sharing some of that in the days ahead.

Where to spot celebs this weekend
Hollywood invaded Washington for President Barack Obama's first inauguration. And a big group of celebs will be back for the sequel. Here's our rundown of who's doing what — barring any last-minute cancellations or surprises:
Multi-platinum artist Beyoncé will ring in Obama's second term with a performance of the national anthem at the ceremonial swearing-in on Monday. James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson will also sing at the event. Will Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, tag along? It's possible, but his rep wouldn't confirm.
Other stars participating in official inaugural events (a kids' concert on Saturday and the official balls on Monday) include Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Far East Movement, the band fun., cast members from "Glee ," John Legend, Marc Anthony, Mindless Behavior, Jennifer Hudson, Nick Cannon, Jamie Foxx, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Usher. Plus, Ben Folds is performing on the Mall Saturday at the National Day of Service Summit.
There's buzz about Lady Gaga is coming to town, but reps are keeping mum about her plans. On Saturday, an anonymous source told the Associated Press that the pop star will attend Tuesday's ball for White House staffers.
Actress Scarlett Johansson. The "Lost in Translation" star spoke at the DNC but can't make it because of her Broadway show, according to her publicist. And Obama friends George Clooney and Oprah Winfrey won't be here either. They'll both be out of the country, their reps said.
There are only two official inaugural balls this year, but party goers have plenty of other star-gazing options about town.
Getting an early start, John Legend, Common and will.i.am have signed on for OurTime.org's Inaugural Youth Ball on Saturday. The event will be held in the Kogod Courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery. Celebrating with fellow Kentuckians, actress (and perhaps future congressional candidate) Ashley Judd is expected at the Bluegrass Ball at the Marriott Wardman Park.
On Sunday, rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd is headlining the Heroes Red, White & Blue Inaugural Concert Ball at the Warner Theatre. Also going on: Eva Longoria is hosting a Latino inaugural salute at the Kennedy Center, Russell Simmons is throwing the Hip Hop Ball at the Harman Center for the Arts and Kate Walsh is co-hosting Planned Parenthood/Rock the Vote's party at the 9:30 Club. Mos Def and Moby are performing at the Peace Ball, held at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater, where Danny Glover is expected as well.
And on Monday,"Nashville" star Connie Britton is headed to the Creative Coalition Inaugural Ball at the Harman Center for the Arts. The Goo Goo Dolls, Paula Abdul and Eric Stonestreet of "Modern Family" are also confirmed guests. Like "Girls?" Lena Dunham, star and creator of the HBO show, has plans to attend the Artists Making An Impact cocktail party taking place at Oya restaurant. Actor Chris Tucker is expected, too. And if you just wanna have fun, Cyndi Lauper is singing at HRC's Inaugural Celebration at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel
Not worn out yet? The party won't stop with Ke$ha, who's performing at the Musicians on Call Presidential Inaugural Charity Benefit at the 9:30 Club. Tik tok!

DWTS – Anna Trebunskaya Talks On Derek Hough's Leaving DWTS & Wants Bill Clinton To Dance!
Marc Malkin from E-Online wrote in his blog that Derek could be the next Justin Timberlake. But, at the "Waiting For Forever" premiere in L.A, Anna told E Online that Derek is "really a triple threat". Read her explanation below. Also, check out how Anna would like to have Bill Clinton on the show. I'd love that too. 🙂
"He's really a triple threat," Hough's pro pal Anna Trebunskaya told us at the premiere of Waiting for Forever. "He's a great actor, dancer, he can sing… I've actually seen him three years back before Dancing With the Stars on the West End in London and he was the lead in Footloose and he was excellent!"
Sound's like Hough may have what it takes to join Hollywood's exclusive triple-threat club, which already includes gorgeous guys like Social Network star Justin Timberlake and Mr. Wolverine himself Hugh Jackman.
"I'm going to miss Derek a lot [though]," says Trebunskaya. "I love Derek. I love his energy, his perfect hair, always perfect, but I'm very happy and excited for his new project. He totally deserves great things because he's awesome."
And although Trebunskaya tells us there's no word on which pro dancers will be coming back for DWTS' upcoming season, there is one famous face she'd love to see on the show.
"You know what would be kind of cool, and the person would win hands down, would be Bill Clinton," she laughed. "I'd be his partner! He has a charm. He's an old fox."
Here's Anna giving good face on the Red Carpet of the "Waiting For Forever" Premiere.

That's Derrick Mitchell of the Triple-A Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs reaching above the wall to take away a home run from Toledo Mud Hens catcher Brad Davis in the eighth inning last night. The Express-Times of Easton (Pa.) said it was one of two outstanding catches Mitchell made during the game. We're guessing this one was more impressive.

First Transit prioritizes accessibility in transportation. In this spirit, we support WAV technology –– wheelchair accessible vehicles –– to increase reliable transportation options for riders with mobility challenges. This technology allows riders who use wheelchairs or scooters to request a ride that is guaranteed to be safe and operated by a driver who is certified in assisting people with disabilities. WAV supports First Transit's commitment to developing transportation solutions that improves quality of life by connecting people and communities and breaking down transportation barriers.
What is WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles)?WAV enables riders to request vehicles that are guaranteed to have ramps or lifts for those passengers who use non-folding, motorized wheelchairs. When a rider requests a ride on their mobile device using a transportation network company (TNC) app, such as Lyft, they will see an option for WAV. In markets where such vehicles are not available, information for alternative local services is sent directly to the passenger via text message as soon the ride is requested.
Accessibility Settings Within the AppTo make requesting wheelchair accessible vehicles easy, TNC apps have included a WAV Mode feature. When WAV Mode is enabled, passengers can trust that the vehicle used to provide their ride will be specially outfitted to accommodate wheelchairs.
How to Ride Using WAV 1. REQUESTUsing a TNC app such as Lyft, customers enter their destination. Once their pickup and destination addresses are confirmed, the rider can then select the WAV option that appears on their screen.
2. RIDEWhen the ride arrives, customers are encouraged to check that the vehicle matches the description of the car the app provided before entering the WAV. 3. ARRIVEOnce the destination is reached, the rider is automatically charged through their payment method on file and can exit the vehicle without any additional measures, making the process as smooth as possible.

COP19 in Warsaw, Poland, runs from November 11-22, 2013. As part of our involvement in COP19, Damian Ryan our Senior Policy Manager, is providing news and analysis as well as live tweeting. Today Damian reports from the beginning of COP19's second week.
Damian writes:
Week two of the 19th UN Climate Conference (COP19) got underway today in Warsaw with a feeling of predictability familiar to observers of the process.
As is normal for this stage of the conference, negotiators spoke of divisions still to be addressed and the significant amount of work to be done in the "final few days". Events of the first week have certainly left Parties with some difficult nuts to crack, although progress was made in a number of areas.
For many, week one was defined by the news of the devastation wrought in the Philippines by Hurricane Haiyan. The personal connection of the Philippine's lead negotiator with the worst affected area, put a very real and personal face on the tragedy for many in Warsaw.
Understandably, the destruction caused by the most powerful hurricane ever recorded put the politically sensitive issue of 'Loss and Damage' center stage in the discussions.
Parties agreed last year to consider the establishment of an 'institutional mechanism' for loss and damage in Warsaw, but remain divided over what such an instrument should look like in practice.
Closely linked to the issue of loss and damage, as well as a range of other areas, has been the negotiations on finance, where countries have also been unable to reach consensus.
Developing countries, especially the most vulnerable, are seeking early and substantial flows of funds into the new Green Climate Fund, which is seen as the main vehicle for mobilising US$100 billion per annum in climate finance by 2020.
Developed countries, however, have been unwilling to put firm figures on the table, with Australia's government provocatively stating (albeit in private) that climate finance was "socialism masquerading as environmentalism".
The announcement late in the week from Japan that it was reducing its 2020 emission reduction pledge from 25% to just 3%, sent a further wave of anguish through the negotiations.
The closure of the country's entire fleet of nuclear plants, and the loss of the low carbon electricity they produced was given as the reason for the dramatic reduction in ambition.
In an attempt to mitigate the reputational damage, Japan announced it would be providing an additional US$16 billion in funding for climate efforts in developing countries.
Against such a backdrop of dramatic news, there is perhaps a feeling of trepidation for many as officials and then ministers work their way towards a final set of COP decisions by the end of the week.
Although the talks may barely register on the radar of those outside the climate bubble here in Warsaw, the success or otherwise of COP19 will have ramifications far beyond Poland's capital.
If Parties are unable to agree a clear pathway for talks through 2014 to a new global deal in 2015, the hopes of peaking emissions this decade and keeping global temperature increase below 2oC may finally slip from the world's grasp.
In the wake of Hurricane Haiyan, such an outcome would be a sad and damning reflection of the world's collective political ambition to tackle climate change.

We are a group of ordinary bike riders who live in or around the suburb of Malvern, Melbourne, Australia and ride under the name 'Squadra di Vecchi Tori' (Team of Old Bulls). Why the name? Because Molteni and Gewiss were already taken and a few of our riders are involved in the beef industry. The rest of us like being associated with signs of virility.
In March 2010, 16 of our crew each rode 527ks in 24 hours during the annual Murray to Moyne cycling event held in Victoria. We raised over $60,000 for 2 charities close to the hearts of 2 of our riders – Learning for Life and The Unicorn Foundation. Links below.
You can also find us at www.twitter.com/m2m500.
This blog will document some of our rides, contain tips, commentary, banter and a distraction for all.

Tune in to HLN's "Nancy Grace" at 8 p.m ET for live reports from Florida on the Casey Anthony trial. Also follow the action on the Casey Anthony trial page.
(CNN) -- Casey Anthony's former fiance testified outside the presence of jurors in her capital murder trial Tuesday, saying she once told him her brother Lee Anthony had groped her while she was sleeping.
Jesse Grund said he had a conversation with Casey Anthony about her brother in 2005, as he noticed Lee was "standoffish" and "sullen" and wanted to know why.
He said Casey Anthony told him she did not want her then-newborn daughter Caylee around her brother, adding that "at one point in recent years," she had awakened to find her brother standing over her staring at her, and that on another occasion he was groping her.
He said he did not want to hear more, and believed her. "Anything that Casey said, I took as truth and fact," he testified.
The state objected to Grund's testimony, saying it was hearsay and is not admissible.
Defense attorney Jose Baez told Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. the defense may have additional arguments on Wednesday morning, so Perry did not immediately rule on whether Grund can testify before the jury.
Casey Anthony, 25, is charged with seven counts, including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and misleading police, in 2-year-old Caylee's 2008 death. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against her.
Anthony's defense team is trying to discredit the prosecution theory that the Orlando woman rendered Caylee unconscious with chloroform, duct-taped her mouth and nose, and stored the body in her car trunk for a few days before dumping it in the woods.
The defense says Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool and that Anthony and her father panicked and covered it up. George Anthony has denied that theory.
Caylee was last seen June 16, 2008. The little girl's skeletal remains were found on December 11, 2008, near the Anthony home.
A former Orange County, Florida, meter reader testified Tuesday about finding Caylee's skull that day.
Roy Kronk said he couldn't at first comprehend what he was looking at. He said he put his "meter reader stick," a piece of metal about 5 inches long, into the right eye socket and "gently pivoted" it upward to make sure, then put it back.
"It was a horrific thing for me to find," he testified, adding later that "it really unnerved me."
Kronk acknowledged making three phone calls to authorities in August 2008 in an attempt to report something he saw in the woods. "I was trying to do the right thing," he said, but on August 13, a deputy responded to the area and "chewed me out," saying Kronk was wasting county time.
Kronk said he went into the woods to relieve himself on August 11 and saw "something that looks white" and a gray bag, according to his testimony and a transcript of the call. He called authorities again on August 12 and 13. Court documents show the deputy who responded August 13 told Kronk the area had already been searched.
He said he did not return to the site until December 11 and did not know whether the skull was what he had seen in August. In August, he said, the area was wet and swampy; in December it was not, and also was not as overgrown as in the summer.
In his opening statement, Baez pointed the finger of responsibility at Kronk.
According to the defense, Kronk actually discovered the remains months earlier. Baez called Kronk "a morally bankrupt person who took Caylee's body and hid it ... he thought he had a lottery ticket. ... He can't be ignored in this."
Kronk denies Baez's allegations, according to his attorney, David Evans.
Kronk testified that he lifted a bag found near the remains about 4 feet off the ground, but said he had made a mistake in an earlier statement and denied that the skull had fallen out when he did that.
Defense attorney J. Cheney Mason asked whether Kronk discussed the $255,000 reward in the case with deputies immediately following the discovery. Kronk said he might have, and may have said "jokingly" that he didn't want his ex-wife to find out if he received the money.
He also denied a defense suggestion that he called his son in November -- before the body was found -- and told him he was about to be famous.
Mason suggested Kronk was attempting to cash in on the case, noting he needed $1,000 to have his truck repaired right before the remains were found.
However, on cross-examination, Kronk told prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick that he needed money in the months before that, too, for other reasons. He also testified, over objections from the defense, that he had no access to the Anthony home, other than the meter in their front yard; or to Casey Anthony's Pontiac Sunfire; the garage in the Anthony home; the backyard; the Anthony family computer; Caylee Anthony's clothing or blankets; or any duct tape in the Anthony home.
After August 13, "because of how you were treated, you let the matter go?" Burdick asked. "Yes, ma'am," Kronk said.
Following Kronk to the stand was fellow meter reader David Dean and Kronk's former supervisor, Alex Roberts. Dean testified he had previously predicted to Kronk that Caylee's remains would be found in the wooded area. Roberts said after Kronk called him on December 11, he arrived to find him smoking a cigarette and leaning against his truck.
Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry would not allow Baez to ask Roberts about any statements Kronk may have made regarding the reward, and he was dismissed from the stand after a lengthy sidebar conference.
The defense also called two Orange County corrections employees to the stand, both of whom either work or used to work in the unit of the jail where Casey Anthony has been incarcerated since October 14, 2008.
Perry dismissed jurors for the day after Burdick objected to the first witness, Sgt. Dennis Moonsammy, saying the testimony was irrelevant. Perry allowed Moonsammy and another employee, Marlene Baker, to testify outside the presence of the jury.
Moonsammy testified that Casey Anthony is in protective custody because of her high-profile case, and is kept in her cell 23 hours a day on days when she is not in the courtroom. He testified that he is required to speak to each inmate in the unit daily, and described Casey Anthony as "very pleasant, always smiling without hesitation," even when he wakes her up. She is, he said, a "model inmate."
Baker testified that Casey Anthony would sometimes cry, but was always pleasant.
Perry refused to allow either witness to testify before jurors, agreeing with Burdick that their testimony is irrelevant. Grund was called to testify after the two corrections employees.
The attorneys also wrangled Tuesday outside the jury's presence about whether grief expert Sally Karioth can testify. Baez told Perry that prosecutors refused to take Karioth's deposition on Saturday when they had the chance.
Prosecutor Jeff Ashton said he was told Karioth knows nothing about the case and was not sure what to ask her that would help the state's case, and said the defense agreed that she could testify outside the jury's presence. But Baez told Perry that Karioth was traveling from Tallahassee and if she does travel, she should be able to testify.
Perry said some of Karioth's testimony may be admissible, but some of it may not. "I guess we'll go in and out like Pop-Tarts tomorrow," he said. "... We wll see tomorrow what the testimony will be."
Perry also said he will hear arguments Wednesday morning on a motion filed by the defense asking him to reconsider his earlier decision to declare Florida's death penalty unconstitutional in light of a recent federal court decision.
On June 20, U.S. District Judge Jose Martinez, found the method used to reach a death sentence in Florida is improper "because it does not require a jury to make the findings of fact necessary to impose a death sentence." Perry previously had denied such a motion by the defense.
Earlier, Casey Anthony's father took the stand again, his frustration at the defense's allegations against him evident as he denied having an affair with a volunteer searcher and telling her that his granddaughter's death was "an accident that snowballed out of control."
"I never had a romantic affair with Krystal Holloway, or River Cruz, or any name she wanted to give you or the world," George Anthony angrily told Baez. He added that the woman has a "questionable past" and a criminal record.
Baez told jurors in his opening statement that George Anthony had an affair with Holloway. "Krystal will tell you one day they had a conversation and George began to cry and she asked him what happened (to Caylee), and he said it was an accident that snowballed out of control."
George Anthony testified he did visit Holloway at her gated condominium, showing identification to the complex guard, "to console" her after she told him that she had a brain tumor and was dying. He said because she was helping him and his family search for Caylee after she disappeared, he felt it "was the least I could do."
He said his wife -- Casey Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony -- was aware he visited Holloway and had also been told about her brain tumor. He said he always visited during the day, as he could set his own hours at his job.
This is the sixth week of testimony in the trial. Opening statements began on May 24.
Perry originally told jurors, who are being housed in an Orlando hotel shielded from media coverage of the trial, that the trial could last six to eight weeks.
Baez told Perry Tuesday that after Karioth, the defense has about six witnesses left. Last week, Baez said he expected the defense to rest on Wednesday or possibly Thursday. That would leave room for a rebuttal case from the prosecution and closing statements before the Independence Day holiday. Perry called an abrupt recess Saturday morning, and it was unclear how the delay would affect those plans.
Caylee was not reported missing to police until July 15, 2008, when Cindy Anthony tracked down her daughter Casey and demanded answers regarding Caylee's whereabouts. Prosecution witnesses testified that Casey Anthony spent time with her boyfriend, went shopping and to nightclubs during the month her daughter was missing, but told no one she had disappeared. They testified they noticed no change in her demeanor.
Baez said in his opening statement that Casey Anthony behaved as she did because years of sexual abuse by her father had conditioned her to conceal the truth and hide her pain. He also said in his opening statement that Lee Anthony abused his sister, but "it didn't go as far" as it did with her father.
George Anthony has denied the claims that he abused his daughter or helped cover up his granddaughter's death.

As you may have heard, it's Winter Blowout Time over at Bugatti, since they have to move 40 convertible Veyrons before they'll even think about making any more. It looks like they're using the Special Edition ploy to move cars, as evidenced by the new Lang Lang Edition Grand Sport Vitesse, named after the famed Chinese pianist. Seriously.
The Lang Lang Edition features, of course, a black-and-white paint scheme (well, black carbon fiber), black leather seats, special door inserts with stitching that obliquely suggests piano keys, and Lang Lang's signature on the coveted footwell insert. That's right people — a signed footwell insert.
I'm sure they'll throw in one of those skinny ties with the piano keys and maybe a new Casio keyboard too, if you ask nice, It also has 1183 HP and gets to 62 MPH in 2.6 seconds, which is considerably better than most pianos.
We recently speculated about hypothetical "Signature Series" cars and since it looks like Bugatti took our article seriously, maybe we can give them some more help! Let's see what sort of great Special Edition Veyrons we can come up with. If you're good at Photoshop, maybe knock something out?
I'm sure Bugatti will probably give the best ones a free Veyron or something if they decide to actually produce it. So, now's your chance! Think there needs to be a Nathan Lane Signature Series Edition Veyron? Maybe an International Bureau of Weights and Measures 139th Anniversary commemorative edition? Maybe a new Muppet Movie tie-in edition?
I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Research and general acceptance
The Jillian Michaels diet focuses on self, science, and sweat to help dieters achieve weight loss, toning, and increased health and fitness.
Jillian Michaels is best known as one of the stars of the popular television program "The Biggest Loser." "The Biggest Loser" aired on NBC, and pitted two teams of significantly overweight individuals against each other to see who could lose the most weight. Jillian Michaels was the strength trainer and life coach for one of the teams of contestants. The strategies that she used to help her contestants lose weight are some of the techniques that inspired her diet and exercise program.
In addition to being a television personality, Jillian Michaels is also the co-owner of the Sky Sport and Spa fitness club in Beverly Hills, California. She is certified by two programs that certify personal trainers, the National Exercise and Sports Trainers Association, and the American Fitness Association of America. She also has been doing martial arts since the age of 14, and is experienced in Muay Thai and Akarui-Do, two forms of martial arts. She has achieved the status of black belt in Akarui-Do. Michaels believes that she brings a special understanding of the needs of people struggling with their weight to her program because she has not always been fit herself. At one time she reports that she was 50 pounds overweight. She used her own experiences becoming fit and healthy to help her design a program that would help other people reach their weight and fitness goals.
Jillian Michaels' diet begins with a very basic premise. This premise is that for weight loss to occur calories going out have to be greater than calories coming in. Calories out include all calories lost through basic day to day activities and the calories burned providing energy to the body's cells during the day. This base line caloric use is added to the number of calories that are burned during exercise. Calories in include all calories from any food and drink consumed during the day. To lose weight the calories out need to be greater than the calories coming in. This way fat will be broken down to provide the additional calories needed by the body.
The diet can be customized to allow a dieter to determine how many calories should be consumed each day based on how many calories are being expended during the day generally, how many are being used through exercise, and what a person's specific weight loss goals are. A pound of fat is comprised of about 3500 calories. That means that to lose a pound each week a dieter would have to use up 3500 more calories than are taken in that week. Spread evenly thought the week this means that each day 500 more calories should be used than are taken in. So if a dieter calculates that he or she is using 2000 calories a day that person should consume 1500 each day to lose one pound per week.
Jillian Michaels breaks her diet down into three parts: self, science, and sweat. Each of these parts comprises one of the parts she feels is important for successful, long-term weight loss and better health. Her diet provides information, recommendations, and opportunities for the dieter to customize their program in each of these areas.
By "self" Michaels means all of the psychological and emotional issues and problems associated with eating, bad habits, and being overweight. She shares many of her own insights that she gained from when she was overweight, and ways that she managed to overcome her own problems.
Michaels focuses largely on ways to change problem behaviors. Problem behaviors include any kind of eating behaviors that stem from reasons other than hunger or necessary nutrition. These include eating when a person feels stressed or upset instead of when they are hungry. Michaels believes that it is important to identify and change these problem behaviors because these are often the reasons that people have difficulty controlling their calorie intake. She provides suggestions for ways to change these behaviors, and offers alternative ways to deal with the underlying issues such as stress. She also deals with issues like the emotional aspects of being overweight. Throughout all of her diet and exercise program she provides inspiration to help the dieter overcome any setbacks and find the inner force to keep going and meet their goals.
"Science" means information about basic nutrition and how the body uses food and calories. Michaels believes that the reason many diets do not work for most people is that they are general, and not designed to meet the individual needs of the dieter. To this end she believes that there are three different ways that people metabolize food, and that the diet cannot be successful unless it is specifically designed for the dieter's metabolic type. The three types she identifies are fast oxidizers, slow oxidizers, and balanced oxidizers.
Michaels believes that dieters with different metabolic types need different combinations of fats, protein, and carbohydrate to make their meals the most efficient for that dieter. Fast oxidizers change the carbohydrates in their food to energy very quickly, and so tend to have spikes of blood sugar right after meals. Because of this Michaels says that people who are fast oxidizers should eat meals that have higher levels of protein and fats, which are converted to energy more slowly, and lower amounts of carbohydrates, so that the energy levels are more stable during the periods after and between meals.
Slow oxidizers are the opposite of fast oxidizers, and they have metabolisms that break down carbohydrates into energy very slowly. Michaels suggests that slow oxidizers should eat meals that contain large percentages of carbohydrates, and lower amounts of fats and proteins. Balanced oxidizers should eat balanced amounts of all three, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. This is because their metabolism converts food neither very quickly nor very slowly. Michaels provides a detailed quiz to determine what kind of metabolizer a dieter is so that menus can be customized effectively.
Michaels believes in a balanced combination of cardiovascular exercises and strength training. She suggests exercising for 60 minutes a day, with five minutes at the beginning and the end being used for stretching, warm up and cool down, and 50 minutes being used for the rigorous exercise. She provides many different exercises and routines that be customized for the fitness level of the dieter. She also provides information about how muscles work, what the main muscle groups are, and which exercises are best for training which areas of the body. Her exercises and routines draw from many different areas of fitness such as Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, weight lifting, and traditional aerobics. One aspect of her exercise routines that she finds very helpful to many dieters is that her exercises are designed to be done at home, and she says that there is no need to join a gym.
Jillian Michaels' diet and exercise program is intended to allow people to lose weight, become more fit, and achieve better overall health and well being. She also intends it to give people the ability to feel better and more empowered in their daily lives as they take control of their weight, appearance, and health.
There are many benefits to losing weight and being more fit. The benefits of weight loss can be very significant, and are even greater for people who are the most obese. People who are obese are at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, and many other diseases and disorders. The risk and severity of these disorders is generally greater the more obese a person is. Weight loss, if achieved at a moderate pace through a healthy diet and regular exercise can reduce the risk of these and many other obesity-related diseases. Increased exercise can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases.
Anyone thinking of beginning a new diet and exercise regimen should consult a medical practitioner. Requirements of calories, fat, and nutrients can differ significantly from person to person, depending on gender, age, weight, and many other factors such as the presence of any disease or conditions. Pregnantor breastfeeding women should be especially cautious because deficiencies of vitamins or minerals
can have a significant negative impact on a baby. Exercising too strenuously can cause injury, and exercise should be started gradually until the dieter knows what level of intensity is appropriate. It is especially important with this diet to remember that the contestants on "The Biggest Loser" did work out many hours a day and adhere to strict diets, and that although they lost a lot of weight in a relatively short amount of time this will not necessarily be the result for all dieters. Contenstants on the show were were closely monitored by physicians and other professionals, and had diet and exercise plans were specifically tailored to their dietary needs and level of fitness.
With any diet or exercise plan there are some risks. It is often difficult to get enough of some vitamins and minerals when eating a limited diet. Anyone beginning a diet may want to consult their physician about whether taking a vitamin or supplement might help them reduce this risk. Injuries can occur during exercise, such as strained or sprained muscles, and proper warm up and cool down procedures should be followed to minimize these risks. It is often best to begin with light or moderate exercise and increase the intensity slowly over weeks or months to minimize the risk of serious injury that could occur if strenuous exercise is begun suddenly and the body is not sufficiently prepared.
Research and general acceptance
Although this diet has not been studied specifically, limiting caloric intake, eating a diet low in fats and carbohydrates and high in vegetable and plant products is generally accepted as a healthy diet for most people. As of 2007 the U.S. Center for Disease Control recommended a minimum of 30 minutes per day of light to moderate exercise for healthy adults. Following Michael's fitness and exercise program would exceed these minimum recommendation.

MACHESNEY PARK — Authorities have identified a woman who died after a Saturday afternoon crash at the intersection of Illinois 251 and Harlem Road as 58-year-old Kristine Lamendola of South Beloit.
Lamendola was one of seven people in the two-car crash at 4:30 p.m. when a Dodge Durango and a four-door Honda both travelling on Harlem, collided nearly head-on when one attempted to turn north onto Illinois 251.
Lamendola was a right backseat passenger of one of the vehicles involved in the crash.
She was pronounced dead at 7:05 p.m. while in surgery at Rockford Memorial Hospital.
An autopsy is expected Monday.
Others hurt in the crash suffered injuries that were not life threatening, police said.
No citations or charges have been announced by the Winnebago County Sheriff's Police who have presented information about the crash to the Winnebago County Sate's Attorney for review.
A formal crash reconstruction that can take several days to complete is continuing as is the investigation, Sgt. Anthony Miceli said.
The reconstruction will determine the speeds, directions of travel and other details about the crash. Photos, measurements and evidence was collected Saturday. That information is being processed to complete the reconstruction, Miceli said.
Alcohol is not a suspected cause of the crash.

Using Gifted Money Toward Your Down Payment
When buying a home, especially a first home, the down payment can seem like the biggest hurdle. There are a variety of loan programs that can help make the most of what money you have to put down, but you can also use "gifted funds" for your down payment. Gifted funds are funds given to you either by parents or another eligible relative. There are guidelines for this type of down payment, and I am happy to talk with you about those.
Before considering using gifted funds, there are a few things to be aware of:
- Gifts must be provided by a third party not involved in the home transaction
- The donor must be an eligible relative of the borrower
- The seller, real estate agent or mortgage professional cannot provide a down payment gift to the buyer
- A government agency or nonprofit organization may provide a gift if it meets the lender's requirements
- Gift funds require a letter from the donor that documents the amount, date and donor name and proof of receipt of gift funds from the donor's account is required
- Some programs may require the borrower to contribute to the down payment in addition to the gift
I am more than happy to sit down and discuss all of your down payment options for buying a home when you are ready.

The New York Times reported Thursday that, after four months, it has expelled what it believes to be China-based hackers from its computer system and has, so far, kept them from breaking back in. The paper said a group had been "infiltrating its computer systems and getting passwords for its reporters and other employees." The paper linked the attacks to a Times investigation, published in October, finding that the relatives of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao "had accumulated a fortune worth several billion dollars through business dealings."
The Times, pulling no punches, said the security experts it hired to monitor and block the attacks "gathered digital evidence that Chinese hackers, using methods that some consultants have associated with the Chinese military in the past" were responsible. Later Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that its computer systems also "had been infiltrated by Chinese hackers for the apparent purpose of monitoring the newspaper's China coverage."
China's surveillance of the Internet and its use of the Web as a battleground for taking on those who oppose its policies are not new. Journalists and, frankly, virtually every citizen and foreigner in China have long operated under the assumption that they are liable to be under surveillance. For safety's sake, they must act as if the government is watching: They know to not only turn their cellphone off when going to see a contact who might be victimized for meeting with them, but to remove the battery too. They assume their email is wide open, that Skype is monitored, that Internet service providers will cooperate with government demands not only for connection details--who talked with whom, when, and where--but the content of the communication as well. Texting? Might as well write your message in large characters on the Great Wall.
On the other hand--and this is in no way meant to exonerate China--any government, and many individuals operating on their own criminally or idealistically, can pretty much do the same thing. As the Times points out:
While computer security experts say China is most active and persistent, it is not alone in using computer attacks for a variety of national purposes, including corporate espionage. The United States, Israel, Russia, and Iran, among others, are suspected of developing and deploying cyber-weapons.
The United States and Israel have never publicly acknowledged it, but evidence indicates they released a sophisticated computer worm starting around 2008 that attacked and later caused damage at Iran's main nuclear enrichment plant. Iran is believed to have responded with computer attacks on targets in the United States, including American banks and foreign oil companies.
Russia is suspected of having used computer attacks during its war with Georgia in 2008.
That list of belligerents, accurately, gives the impression an all-out, worldwide information war is being waged on the digital mesh that now encircles the globe. Beneath the arcs of all those cyber-missiles flying overhead, what can journalists do? The Information Security section of CPJ's Journalist Security Guide lays out the risks, and the strategies to minimize them. But it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. "Good information security is rarely about fending off sophisticated cyberattacks and Hollywood-style hackers," writes CPJ Internet Advocacy Coordinator Danny O'Brien. "It's about understanding the motives and capabilities of those who might want to attack you, and developing consistent habits based on those assessments."


text: General Management Great leaders have something that when you see it, you know what it is, but it's hard ahead of time to describe exactly what it is. But the first thing I'd say is that leadership is not about charisma and it's not about style. It's something about authenticity. It's something about integrity. It's something about willingness to take risks. It's something about the ability to make others feel part of a larger thing. It's part of being able to articulate the social architecture in a way that others can understand, believe in and follow.

The Club
he Parson Russell Terrier Association of America (PRTAA) is an organization of Parson Russell Terrier breeders and owners dedicated to the promotion, breeding, working and continuance of the traditional pure bred Parson Russell that was bred and worked by the Parson John Russell himself (1795 - 1883). The club was established in 1985 in response to growing concerns that the breed was being misrepresented as a short-legged terrier rather than a terrier with the symmetry of a foxhound.
The PRTAA operates in full acknowledgement of the original purpose of the traditional Parson Russell Terrier as it was in Rev. Russell's day, to hunt red fox above and below ground. These activities dictated the type terrier endorsed and supported by the PRTAA: a balanced terrier with a chest spannable by moderate sized hands, straight legs with a good bend of stifle, predominantly white with head, tail and occasional body markings, and an alert and ready temperament. The ideal height of a mature dog is 14" at the withers and bitches 13" at the withers.
The Parson Russell Terrier Association is the American Kennel Club (AKC) Parent Club for the breed. This means that it is the responsibility and privilege of the PRTAA and its members to preserve the Breed Standard. Our members and breeders are available to anyone caring to learn more about this fine old breed of terrier. Membership in our club is not required for you to enter any PRTAA or AKC sanctioned events. Your dog must, however, be registered with the AKC. For those who do want to become more involved, see the membership information in this site or contact the PRTAA.
Please feel free to contact us for additional information about the Parson Russell Terrier Association of America and its services.
