Why are multivitamin and mineral supplements important?
Nutrients from diet alone may be insufficient.
Many Americans have nutritional gaps in their diets - even when they try to eat a healthy diet. Multivitamins can help fill those gaps.
Why take Doctor's Choice™ 50+ Men?
Targeted to your age and gender.
Doctor's Choice™ 50+ Men contains vitamins, minerals and herbs to deliver balanced nutrition.*
Doctor's Choice™ 50+ Men provides a full range of essential vitamins and minerals and offers targeted beneficial blends.
Take 4 tablets daily with water. May take 2 tablets twice daily. Best if taken with food.
Not intended for use by pregnant or nursing women. If you have a blood clotting disorder, are taking medications for diabetes, or any other medications, consult a healthcare professional before use. People with diabetes should monitor blood glucose levels regularly.
Keep out of reach of children.
† Based on 2000 calorie diet.
cellulose, hypromellose, sodium croscarmellose, magnesium stearate, glycerin, stearic acid, silicon dioxide, acacia gum, organic maltodextrin
In order to obtain the optimal amount of vitamins, minerals, and herbs to be effective, they need to be in amounts that could not possibly fit into a single tablet or capsule in a size small enough to be swallowed. Many nutrients are only active in the body for a short period of time and need to be replenished every 6 to 8 hours. Our Doctor's Choice™ multivitamins are designed to be taken at intervals during the day (3 times a day, just like meals). You can take fewer tablets than we recommend on the label, however, it if is difficult to take them throughout the day. Even at half the recommended dosage there is still significant nutritional support.
Why do I get an upset stomach when I take my Doctor's Choice™ multivitamins? It seems to happen most often when I take them on an empty stomach.
If none of these help, stop taking the Doctor's Choice™ Multivitamins for a few days to rule out underlying problems. Your nausea may have coincidentally occurred when you started taking the vitamins but may actually be unrelated. Contact your doctor or other healthcare practitioner if your nausea is still present.

As the last of Bertrand Goldberg's former Prentice Hospital is reduced to rubble, a long and often politically charged chapter in Chicago preservation history draws to a close. While the iconic concrete structure with its oval windows and cantilevered clover-leaf wings perched above a Miesian base will be gone, the legacy of the "Save Prentice" campaign can serve as a model for future advocacy efforts.
Prentice Hospital was designed by Bertrand Goldberg Associates and completed in 1975 as an early facility focusing on women's health. Like many of Goldberg's buildings, architecturally it broke with Chicago's Miesian tradition of steel and glass rectilinear forms. Instead, four elegant concrete wings form a clover leaf in plan and cantilever over a low Miesian base. In addition to the striking lines of the building, Goldberg is credited with being one of the first to use computer software to design the structural aspects of the building. The software had previously been utilized in the design of dams and by the aviation industry and allowed Goldberg to maximize the potential of the structural materials. Architect and son of Bertrand Goldberg, Geoffrey Goldberg said of the structure that "you will not find the structural solution to Prentice, which is an exterior shell cantilevered off a core, anywhere else in the world and Prentice was the only one in which it was achieved."

Company re-organization
Is it a good idea to sell a book to a publisher, then extensively re-write it? The marketer in me says, "No." (Also, "Put pop-up ads on NationStates!") But that's pretty much what I've done with Company. At first I was just going to do a little tweaking: snip a sub-plot here, pat down a character foible there, that kind of thing. But the more I re-wrote, the more I saw that needed re-writing. Then, before I knew it, I had a new second half to the book.
(Of course, when I say, "before I knew it," I'm using artistic license. No-one actually ends up with a novel "before they knew it." I'm always seeing this in movies: someone decides to write a novel and two weeks later they're typing THE END into a laptop at Starbucks and exhaling in satisfaction. Two weeks! I can't get a sentence right in two weeks. Also, I hate people who write novels at Starbucks. And people who exhale in satisfaction in public; them too. So you can see why this annoys me.)
This is something of an addiction of mine; I'm always throwing out the last half of novels and trying again. I never intend it; I just get obsessed with improving things. This is not necessarily a bad thing, if you ignore the fact that I'm spending enormous chunks of time writing bits of novels only to cut them later (which I try to). But now I've done it to a book a publisher has already bought, and, presumably, thought was pretty good.
So I've confessed to Bill, my editor. As I e-mailed in the new draft, I put the question to him: am I a hard-working, committed author, or just some kind of idiot? He replied:
It depends on what you've done. If it's turned into a searing portrait of the artistic struggles of male ballet dancers, I shall not be pleased.
He's reading the draft now. There are no ballet dancers. But I'll have to wait and see what he thinks.

It's time to bring all your good work to light. The ASLA public awareness campaign has made 2013 the Year of Public Service. The goal is to highlight the wide-reaching public service activities performed by landscape architects and advocate for a deeper commitment by all to community service. Learn more about the initiative on the new YPS2013 web site.
ASLA invites current members to submit 2013 projects. Selected projects will be highlighted in the campaign's Web site and outreach materials. Descriptions, quotes, and multimedia content may be used – with proper credit – on the YPS2013 website, blog and The Understory Facebook page.
To kick off this initiative, ASLA President Tom Tavella, FASLA, Fuss & O'Neill, led a process of re-envisioning the many blocks around ASLA headquarters in Washington, D.C., creating a vision for a greener Chinatown.
In addition, the video above is from a recent design charrette for the Mack Road Streetcape. ASLA's California Sierra Chapter helped establish a new direction for the Mack Road Partnership's corridor improvement projects, addressing critical issues identified in community input sessions.
You can start your own project or reach out to your local ASLA Chapter and join an existing project. For a project you've started, simply go to the YPS2013 web site and click "Submit Project." A pre-populated email will pop up, requesting information. Any project can be submitted in which an ASLA member, chapter, or firm with ASLA members provides landscape architecture services at no cost benefit the community in some way.
ASLA chapters can provide access to other projects, too. ASLA and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program have boosted their ongoing collaborative partnership to celebrate the Year of Public Service. Under this partnership, ASLA's local chapters can volunteer in their communities to help NPS RTCA, providing technical assistance for such outdoor resources as trails, bike paths, and other recreational facilities.

text: Programs Firmly set in the emphasis on Talmud, codes and Halakhah [Jewish law], RIETS has developed programs to meet the communal and personal needs of our time and place—for example, business ethics, bioethics, technology—with the unique ambience of intellectual and spiritual exploration that has always characterized the great academies of Jewish learning in the past. The Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Semikha Program provides four post-college years of intensive study of Talmud, classical commentaries, Codes and Reponsa literature, supplemented by preparation for daily aspects of the rabbinate. Our kollelim [institutes for advanced study] provide, among others, intensive courses of study for prospective teaches, rabbinic scholars, posekim [decisors of Jewish law], as well as post-rabbinic training for scholars to become future roshei yeshiva [teachers of Talmud and Torah] and those with a background in Talmud who plan to enter professions other than the rabbinate. In the Presidential Bekius Program, each semester, 20-25 blatt [pages] are selected from the masechta [tractate] that the yeshiva is learning. At the end of each semester, students may take an examination on the Gemara with Rashi or on the Gemara with both Rashi and Tosafot.

Cellular tail length tells disease tale
Simon Fraser University molecular biologist Lynne Quarmby's adventures in pond scum have led her and four student researchers to discover a mutation that can make cilia, the microscopic antennae on our cells, grow too long. When the antennae aren't the right size, the signals captured by them get misinterpreted. The result can be fatal.
In a newly published paper in the science journal Current Biology, the researchers discovered that the regulatory gene CNK2 is present in cilia and controls the length of these hair-like projections.
This discovery is important because cilia, or flagella, dangle from all of our cells. Their ability to propel some cells, such as sperm, and allow molecular communication in others, for example cellular responses to hormones, determines how we develop from embryos and how our bodies function in adulthood.
When cilia are too short or too long they cause various human hereditary diseases and deformities, such as too many fingers or toes, blindness and Polycystic Kidney Disease, which affects one in 600 people.
Quarmby and her doctoral student Laura Hilton—senior and lead authors, respectively, on this paper—are among the few scientists globally who study cilia-disassembly as opposed to -assembly.
A crucial part of all cells' lifecycle is their cilia's disassembly before cell division and assembly after it. The gene LF4 is a known assembly regulator, and, prior to this study, scientists thought that assembly speed controlled cilia's ultimate length or shrinkage. But Quarmby and Hilton have discovered that disassembly speed is also important, and that the regulatory gene CNK2 plays a key role in controlling it.
Similar to how a balance between water pressure and gravity determines the height of a fountain's stream, a balance of assembly and disassembly speed determines cilia's length. When growing and shrinking happen simultaneously cilia length remains constant.
Pond scum's algae make good lab models for analyzing this because they reproduce quickly, and they have cellular structure and cilia that closely parallel ours. Quarmby and Hilton have been mucking about with pond scum for years and recently started studying algae cilia with defective CNK2 and LF4 genes.
After discovering that cilia with either defective gene are abnormally long, they created an algae cell with four cilia, instead of the normal two, with two of the four engineered to glow green.
Along with two SFU undergrad students and a University of Toronto undergrad, Quarmby and Hilton watched as the fluorescent green tag began to appear at the tip of the untagged pair of cilia.
"We were able to deduce how the mutations affected the cilia's assembly and disassembly by measuring how much and how quickly green fluorescence appeared at the tip of the untagged cilia," explains Quarmby.
"We knew that we had something important when we saw that cells bearing mutations in both CNK2 and LF4 had the most extraordinarily long cilia. They were unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.
"My student Laura ran this experiment and oversaw our undergrad researchers. It gave us unique insights into the potentially key role disassembling cilia have in deciding the tails' length. Further investigation will help us understand how ciliary malfunction causes a progression of diseases."
The SFU undergrads working with Quarmby and Hilton were Kavisha Gunawardane and Marianne Schwarz. The UofT student was Joo Wan (James) Kim.

While Delali was sewing orders a number of years ago, she was approached by her young son Kimaathi, who asked if he could help. She wasn't expecting him to be as enthusiastic as he was, but she soon turned over her beading projects, string and her love for custom jewelry to her son, who developed his own creative vision.
"I insisted that he learn the principles of running a business at a young age" because it teaches him not only responsibility, but the value of money and the appreciation of his many talents, said Haligah.
Haligah is the founder and designer behind Osun Designs (www.osundesigns.com), a ready-to-wear women's apparel line inspired by African art, culture, colors and textures. Kimaathi, who is now 12 years old, designs for Kimaathi's Beads, an African-inspired jewelry line. Mother and son enjoy the time spent designing and producing their collections together, then traveling to local trade shows to showcase their lines. While keeping up with the pace and demands of everyday life can be challenging, they find that a common thread of creativity balances and brings them together.
Osun Designs has a long history of bringing quality, one-of-a-kind pieces that Haligah calls "art-to-wear," to customers locally and globally. Each piece is designed, patterned and produced by Haligah, who has been sewing since she was in high school. Since her first dress sale at age 15, she has realized a lifetime love and passion for translating her African inspired vision into her designs. She starts the process by selecting her colors, fabrics, and textures for the season. From there, the draping, pattern making, cutting and sewing begins. The end result is a unique piece that not only brings her creative satisfaction, but positive energy to the potential customer. Haligah has been delivering her 'global chic' designs to her customers for 25-plus years in the making. Bringing her progressive, modern, rich fabrics to the fashion scene means all her designs are original, and they are ALL one-of-a-kind, inspired by historical and modern African Art.
There is no limit to Osun Designs sizing, which widens the audience by accommodating any woman from a size 0 to a plus size. Haligah takes custom orders but usually does not replicate her work.
"Each piece is as creative and individual as the person wearing it," she said. "I don't produce any carbon copy pieces."
She encourages her customers to embrace their individuality. Her collections each season are fresh and innovative with the 'free spirit' in mind. Osun Designs will never encourage or present flashy or fickle trends, said Haligah. Osun pieces are season-less, expressive and enriching to the spirit.
Having been showcased in several ethnic magazines during her design career, Haligah receives love from her customers in Queens' African-American community, as well as from around the globe. She has lived in several countries including England, Nigeria and Ghana, but she ultimately chose to settle down and raise her family right here in Queens.
Juggling homework, karate and the issues that come with running the house means things can get hectic, but this family embodies teamwork. Haligah and Kimaathi work together to accomplish their goals of running an in-home business while living day-to-day life, making an effort to respect each other's boundaries.
Haligah of Osun Designs serves as a true testament for any parent who thinks they 'don't have time' to kinder their creative spirit because of family obligations. She is a living example that nurturing your own creative spirit, whether you make a business out of it or not, can enrich your life as well as the lives of your kids.
Find Haligah on Facebook by searching for Osun Designs and Queens Fashion Week, which Haligah founded in 2009. Log onto www.osundesigns.com or www.queensfashionweek.com to stay posted on her latest show schedules, her Queens Fashion Week annual fashion weekend, premier fashion shows and upcoming collections.

The problem with Time Magazine and Charlotte Alter
l. if you know ANYTHING about dogs and specifically about the history of American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and the other dog BREEDS lumped together and called "pit bulls," you know that these dogs were bred to be SUPER/EXTRA people friendly so that the handlers would be able to work with them. ALL people aggression was bred OUT of these dogs. So the first paragraph in this article begins with a lie AKA a MYTH not a FACT. Apparently, the writer of this article had NO TIME to do any REAL Research nor to interview REAL DOG experts such as James Crosby and Victoria Stilwell.
Pit Bulls are not an aggressive breed of dog.
*According to the American Temperament Testing Association, APBTs have an 85.3% passing rate, compared to a passing rate of 81.9% for all breeds on average.
This is FANTASTIC, point by point, she tells it like it IS…
2. Then this article goes on to quote DISCREDITED time and time and time again pit bull haters and fantasy dwellers such as Colleen Lynn, Merritt Clifton and PETA. Yes, scratch the surface of these three together and you get nonsensical stats based upon media overreporting of so-called pit bull attacks (if it looks like a dog, call it a pit bull and there you have a headline and ridiculous stats to use to ban pit bulls), fear/paranoia and a call to KILL all the dogs (disguised as more logical sounding breed discrimination aka breed specific euthanization)… of course, they leave OUT that in places like Denver, CO where BSL has been implemented, dog bites have GONE UP because the REAL PROBLEM has NOT been dealt with. Breed is NEVER the problem. Ignorance about Dogs IS the problem.
Oh by the way, PETA kills healthy adoptable dogs and cats and has for years. And their founder, Ingrid Newkirk, was killing animals at a shelter, a job she relished. PETA thinks killing companion animals is a gift to them.
3. oh yes, and speaking about the Michael Vick dogs. 51 dogs who are doing JUST FINE. Eight became therapy dogs, and many are living in homes with children, cats, other dogs, in FAMILIES and shown NO signs of aggression. Not ONE. These dogs were tortured, traumatized, terrified of humans, unsocialized, kept chained up 24/7 and made to fight tor their LIVES. Yet, once taken away from Vick's Bad Newz Kennels and given tons of TLC and taught how to be dogs at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, BADRAP, the Monterey SPCA and other places, they've thrived.
4. Here is the REAL SCOOP on what causes DOG BITES and ATTACKS according to REAL DOG experts.
Instead of blaming the dogs, how about holding PEOPLE accountable. People are the ones responsible for the abuse, torture, neglect and abandonment of dogs. Humans are the violent ones. Toxic macho masculinity culture teaches young men that they must be TOUGH and FIGHT, MAIM and KILL animals and other creatures. All of the serial killers have a history of hurting and killing animals then move on to human beings.
A few stats:
Every year, more than 2,000 children in the U.S. are killed by their parents or guardians either through abuse or neglect. A child is more than 800 times more likely to be killed by their caretaker than by a Pit Bull.
From 2001 through 2012, 6,410 women were murdered in the United States by an intimate partner using a gun—more than the total number of U.S. troops killed in action during the entirety of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.
…Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than are women in other high income countries… http://americanprogress.org/issues/guns-crime/report/2014/06/18/91998/women-under-the-gun/

Raspberry Cheesecake BrowniesWednesday, September 27th, 2006
Just minutes after this photo was taken, this piece of Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie ended up in my husband's stomach :-)
I found this fantastic recipe at a Polish food forum which I read from time to time. The recipe was originally posted in the March 2003 edition of Delicious magazine. It seemed to be a success according to the forum writers so I decided to email the recipe to my mother. When she finally answered my email she included a photo of a freshly baked raspberry cheesecake brownie and the word "wonderful". So of course I had to make it myself as well. Again we have the lovely combination with dark chocolate and raspberries which is just perfect. The recipe is easy to follow, but I decided to reduce the amount of sugar and almost doubled the amount of raspberries. And as always I substituted cream cheese with Kesella gourmet. Lovely lovely, but now I have to stop writing and get another piece…
Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies
200 gram dark chocolate
200 gram butter, softened
220 gram + 130 gram caster sugar
5 eggs
110 gram plain flour
400 gram cream cheese (I used Kesella 10% as I prefer quark, add 1.5 tbsp flour if you use Kesella)
1 tsp vanilla extract
200 gram fresh raspberries (frozen ones work as well)
Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Grease and line a 20 X 30cm lamington pan. Melt chocolate in bowl over simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly. Cream butter and 220g of the caster sugar until pale, then add 3 of the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate, then fold in the flour. Spread 3/4 of the mixture into the pan. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, 130g sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Spread over chocolate base. Dollop remaining chocolate mixture over cream cheese layer and swirl the chocolate. Poke raspberries into the top and bake 40-45 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Very good views of Olympus and of the very long way you have left to go on the Wildcat Ridge Traverse.
voxnihili - Jun 1, 2015 11:07 am Date Climbed: May 31, 2015Wildcat Ridge
Visited as a part of the Wildcat Ridge traverse (and was my main goal for the day). Scrambled up each of the sub-summits for the various views.
utahjimk - Jun 10, 2013 10:51 am Date Climbed: Jun 9, 2013wildcat
climbed as part of the Wildcat Ridge route, WMC hike led by Walt Haas with fellow hikers Sam, Donovan, Bob & Steve. I like this westerly view better than that of Mt Olympus because it includes so much mountainous foreground.
scgrant - Oct 6, 2012 8:17 pm Date Climbed: May 25, 2014Triangle Peak
5/25/2014 As part of the Wildcat Ridge traverse. Great hike with a great WMC group. A lot of snow on the ridge made for a really long day.
6/9/2013 Climbed as part of the Wildcat Ridge Traverse. With the WMC we traversed from Mt. Olympus to Mt. Raymond. Great route, even considering the +90 degree heat and multiple rattle snake encounters.
10/6/2012 From the Neffs Canyon trail head we went up North's Fork to the summit. From Triangle Peak we traversed over to the South summit of Mt. Olympus, and down the standard Mt. Olympus trail. Fun day with some great ridge scrambling and climbing.

Joseph Bullough - Jul 2, 2010 11:20 pmVarious ascents
Climbed 5 times:
7/16/11 - Via the Wildcat ridge traverse. Ended the route at Desolation Peak, and descended down Beartrap Fork.
7/2/10 - Via the Wildcat ridge traverse. Ended the route at Little Water Peak, and descended down Mill D North.
6/19/09 - Via the Wildcat ridge traverse. Ended the route at Gobblers Knob, and descended down Butler Fork.
6/20/08 - Second ascent as part of the Wildcat ridge traverse. Ended the route at Gobblers Knob, and descended down Butler Fork. Mosquitos were absolutely horrible.
5/28/05 - My first climb of Triangle Peak, made during the long butt-kicking traverse from Mount Olympus to Mount Raymond. An 11-hour day from the Olympus trailhead (Petes Rock) to the Butler Fork trailhead where I ended the route. Widely varied snow conditions and considerable route finding slowed progress greatly at times.
apachedino - Jul 5, 2009 2:41 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 2009Wildcat XXL Version (to Reynolds)
Great scrambling, I love this traverse, minimal bushwacking and the scrambling eases as you get more worn out. Perfect.
byates - Dec 8, 2008 10:34 am Date Climbed: Oct 18, 2009New route from Neffs
I had been up Triangle many times (93 was my first climb) as part of Wildcat variations and from Hughes Canyon. on This trip we used the Chadbourne Crag trail out of Neff's, after passing the climbing area stuck the ridge going south with minor bushwacking and some interesting scrambling to the northface, used the crack down hill to the left to attain Wildcat and the onto the summit. I believe this was my seventh time up Triangle.

Went from Mount Olympus to the saddle on top of Neff's Canyon and decended to Neff's Canyon Trailhead. One of the most difficult hikes I've done. We saw two rattlesnakes along the way.
merrell - Feb 15, 2007 11:37 pm Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2006TRIANGLE PEAK, From North's Fork
Difficult bushwack that we (bignick) had tried earlier several times from North's Fork, but ended up below Mt. Olympus or in difficult terrain. We also attempted the hike from Mule Hollow in May 2006. We made it up to Peak 9560, but ran out of time. Our return from Triangle was down Heughs canyon, which involved some backtracking and lots of bushwacking. Took a plunge in the creek just below the upper waterfall (the one with the rope). I was so relieved to make it over the waterfall that I wasn't very careful the next 200 feet and slipped.
Bignick - Jun 9, 2006 2:26 pm Date Climbed: Jun 5, 2006Triangle Peak
Started at Neffs Canyon trailhead and hiked thru North's Fork. Bushwacked and climbed thru bolder fields to attain the East Ridge and traversed the ridge South near the base of the peak. We dropped down to the West less than a quarter mile and found a break in the headwall, a steep snow filled chute that we climbed to gain the East end of the knife-edged ridge from Olympus. A rocky scramble led to the summit. The most elusive and remote peak I have done on the Wasatch. We decended down Heughs Canyon route finding thru steep cliffs and loose rock. Attaining the upper canyon bottom was no relief as it was barely passable. Steep cliffs and rock on both sides with a narrow extremely heavily vegatated stream and weak snow bridge filled bottom. Two miles of this before we got to the seldom used trail for the last mile out. A fantastic although very tiring adventure.

I climbed this peak while hiking Wildcat Ridge. The most difficult part was between Mount Olympus and Triangle Peak. This involved some 4th class scrambling along a narrow ridgeline. I also ran into two rattlesnakes along the way. I remember hiking up the west ridge of Triangle Peak but not being able to descend the east ridge due to a big dropoff. So we decided to downclimb the south side instead. This is probably one of the most seldom climbed peaks in the Wasatch because of off trail hiking, scrambling, and time required.

Five things to know Thursday
Cell phones on planes hearing today
The Federal Communications Commission will officially start to debate today whether or not to remove a 22-year-old ban on making phone calls on planes. New FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has called the current rules "outdated and restrictive." It will be the first of several meetings.
House to vote Thursday on budget deal
The U.S. House is on track to vote today on a bipartisan budget deal reached by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash. Ryan briefed congressional Republicans Wednesday on the two-year framework that sets top-line spending figures through fiscal year 2015 and partially alleviates unpopular across-the-board cuts known as the sequester. The deal also eliminates the threat of another government shutdown during that time period.

The South African sign language interpreter accused of using "fake" signs at Nelson Mandela's memorial service this week has said he suffered a schizophrenic episode. Thamsanqa Jantjie told Johannesburg's Star newspaper: "There was nothing I could do. I was alone in a very dangerous situation. I tried to control myself and not show the world what was going on. I am very sorry, it's the situation I found myself in."

The Last Time …
Navy 27, Army 21 Dec. 10, 2011 | Landover, MD.
• Senior Jon Teague kicked fourth quarter field goals of 23 and 44 yards as Navy defeated Army, 27-21, for a record 10th consecutive year, in front of a crowd of 80,789 at FedExField that included President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
• Navy jumped out to a 14-0 lead thanks to a pair of Army fumbles. Army's Raymond Maples fumbled a pitch and senior defensive end Jabaree Tuani recovered the ball at the Army 26 on the Black Knights' second possession of the game.
• Six plays later, senior quarterback Kriss Proctor scored from the four to give Navy the early advantage.
• After the two teams traded punts, Army's Jared Hassin was stripped of the ball by Tuani and junior outside linebackerBrye French recovered the ball at the Navy 45.
• On the first play after the Army fumble, Proctor scrambled for 32 yards down to the Army 23. Six plays after that, Proctor executed a perfect double option on third-and-eight from the 10 pitching to senior fullback Alexander Teich for the touchdown.
• Army, however, would come right back and cut Navy's lead in half, as quarterback Trent Steelman directed an eight-play, 67-yard drive that was capped off by a 34-yard touchdown run to make the score 14-7.
• After the Navy offense went three and out, Army was back in business moving 63 yards in seven plays with Malcolm Brown diving over from the three to tie the game at 14 with just 49 seconds left in the first half.
• Navy took the opening kickoff of the second half and moved 48 yards in five plays to retake the lead at 21-14. After Teich's 48-yard kickoff return put the Navy offense in business at the Army 48, backup fullback Delvin Diggs had back-to-back carries that picked up 18 yards down to the Army 30. Junior slot back Gee Gee Greene ran for 20 more yards on first down and, after a Teich eight-yard run down to the two, Proctor scored his second TD of the day.
• Once again Army would come right back, marching right through the Navy defense in six plays with Steelman hitting Brown with a 25-yard touchdown pass on third-and-seven to tie the game at 21.
• The Mids would take advantage of an Army punt by driving 75 yards in 18 plays with Teague capping the drive with a 23-yard field goal to give Navy a three-point lead. The Mids were forced to kick a field goal after lineman Graham Vickers jumped on third-and-goal from the Army 1.
• On the ensuing kickoff, freshman Noah Copeland forced Army returner Scott Williams to cough up the ball and Navy freshman Jordan Drake recovered it at the Army 27. Teague would turn the Army miscue into points with a 44-yard field goal to give Navy a 27-21 lead.
• Army got the ball back and quickly moved down the field and had the ball first-and-10 at the Navy 28 when the Navy defense came up big.
• After Brown rushed for four yards on first down, Army tried to catch Navy napping by throwing the ball but Steelman was dropped by junior linebacker Matt Warrick for a loss of five yards. Steelman would pick up four yards on third down as Tra'ves Bush came flying up from the safety position to make the stop and then on fourth down Steelman was sacked for a loss of one by Warrick to give the ball back to the Midshipmen with 4:31 left.
The Commander-In-Chief's Trophy
• The Commander-In-Chief's Trophy is presented annually to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies — Army, Navy and Air Force — and is named in honor of the President of the United States.
• Navy has dominated of late, winning the trophy a Service Academy record seven-consecutive years from 2003-09 and winning a Service Academy record 15 straight games against Air Force and Army in the process. Air Force has won the trophy each of the last two years.
• Navy has won the trophy a total of 12 times: 1973, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1981, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
• When there is no clear-cut winner, the trophy remains with the winner of the previous year's competition. • The three-sided trophy stands two-and-a-half-feet tall and is engraved with the academy seals. Reproductions of the three mascots — the Army Mule, the Navy Goat and the Air Force Falcon — are ensconced on the respective sides of this bauble. The trophy is sponsored by the West Point Association of Graduates, the Naval Academy Alumni Association and the Air Force Association of Graduates.
• The year in which the trophy is won is engraved on AA plate gracing the respective academy's side of the trophy.
Service Academy Dominance
• Navy has amassed a 82-44 (.651) overall record in the last 10 years, while Air Force is 68-55 (.553) and Army is 32-87 (.269). The Mids are 17-2 against the other two Service Academies since 2003.
Dominant Era in Army-Navy History
• Navy's 27-21 victory over Army in 2011 was its 10th consecutive win over the Black Knights, the longest streak in series history by either team.
• The Mids have won those 10 in a row against Army in dominant fashion, outscoring the Black Knights, 349-112 (34.9-11.2).
Our Nation's Future Leaders
• Navy's 28 seniors received their Service Assignments on Wednesday, November 28. Graduates of the Naval Academy serve a minimum of five years in the Navy or Marine Corps, while pilots serve eight years upon earning their wings.

Navy Quick Hitters
• Navy has been the dominant Service Academy over the last decade, posting an 18-2 record against Army (10-0) and Air Force (8-2) in the last 20 meetings combined, winning seven consecutive Commander-In-Chief's Trophies from 2003-09 and going to nine bowl games in the last 10 years. Navy has amassed an 82-44 (.651) overall record in the last 10 years, while Air Force is 68-55 (.553) and Army is 32-87 (.269). The 82 wins are the 21st most in the country over the last decade.
• The Midshipmen punched their ticket to the Dec. 29 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl at AT&T Park in San Francisco with a 24-17 victory over Florida Atlantic on Nov. 3. It will be Navy's 18th bowl appearance all-time, including its ninth in the last 10 years. The Mids will take on Arizona State.
• Ken Niumatalolo has led the Midshipmen to a 39-25 (.609) record in his fifth season as head coach. He is fourth all-time at Navy in career wins. Niumatalolo holds Navy coaching records for most wins in the first two (18), three (27), four (32) and five seasons (39) of a career.
• Navy's four losses this season (Notre Dame, Penn State, San Jose State and Troy) have come at the hands of opponents who are a combined 35-13 (.729). Notre Dame (12-0) is ranked No. 1 in the country and will play in the BCS National Championship Game, while San Jose State (10-2) is ranked 24th in the country.
• Navy has played six bowl eligible teams this year (counting Penn State who will not be going to a bowl due to NCAA sanctions) and compiled a 3-3 record against the six programs. The Mids defeated Air Force (6-6), Central Michigan (6-6) and East Carolina (8-4) and lost to Notre Dame (12-0), Penn State (8-4) and San Jose State (10-2).
• Over the last nine games (7-2), Navy has outscored the opposition in the second half, 146-80. The Navy defense has allowed just eight touchdowns in the second half of the last nine contests.
• The Mids have turned the ball over 12 times in their four losses and five times in their seven wins.
• Senior outside linebacker Keegan Wetzel scored a perfect 1600 on his SAT and is believed to be the only current FBS player in the country to accomplish such a feat. He carries a 3.89 GPA in systems engineering and is an Academic All-America candidate. Wetzel has also been a force on the field for the Midshipmen, recording 63 tackles (fourth most on the team), a team-high 13.5 tackles for a loss, a team-high six sacks, has forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. He is just two sacks away from third on Navy's single-season sacks list.
• Keenan Reynolds is the first freshman to start at quarterback for Navy since Jim Kubiak started five games in 1991. Meanwhile, he is just the third freshman in school history to start at quarterback (the other was Alton Grizzard in 1987). Reynolds is 5-1 as a starting quarterback with wins over Central Michigan, Indiana, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic and Texas State and a loss to Troy. He also came off the bench with Navy down eight points to Air Force and led the Mids to an overtime victory. Kubiak won just one game as a freshman starter (beat a 5-5 Army team) and Grizzard won two (lost to Army). Reynolds is the first Navy quarterback to win his first four career starts since senior Bob Powers, who won his first six career starts in 1979.
• Sophomore punter Pablo Beltran is averaging 45.1 yards per punt (34 punts) this season and should his average hold, he would become the school's single-season record holder. John Skaggs currently holds the single-season punting record at 44.8 yards per punt in 2001. Beltran would stand 10th nationally if he qualified (must average 3.6 punts per game).
• Navy was 4-0 during the month of October after going 0-5 last year in October. It is the first time Navy went undefeated in the month of October since 1996. That Navy team finished 9-3 and defeated California in the Aloha Bowl.
• Navy owns a 6-3 record all-time in overtime games, winning six of its last seven.
• Navy owns an 82-44 (.651) record over the last 10 years after posting a 3-30 (.091) mark from 2000-02. The 82 wins are the 21st most in the country over the last decade.
• Navy is trying to finish No. 1 in fewest penalties and fewest penalty yards per game for the second consecutive year and for the third time in the last four seasons. The Mids are currently second in penalties (3.4 /gm) and in penalty yards per game (26.5).
• Navy is 3-0 this year and 30-4 (.882) under Niumatalolo when scoring first and 4-4 this year and 9-21 (.300) under Niumatalolo when the opponent scores first.
• The Mids are 3-0 ths year and 24-3 (.889) under Niumatalolo when leading after the first quarter and 4-4 this year and 15-22 (.405) under Niumatalolo when trailing or tied after the first stanza.
• Navy is 6-0 this year and 27-4 (.871) under Niumatalolo when leading at the half and 1-4 this year and 11-22 (.333) under Niumatalolo when tied or trailing at the half.
• Navy is 5-0 this year and 31-3 (.912) under Niumatalolo when leading after three quarters and 2-4 this year and 7-23 (.233) under Niumatalolo when tied or trailing after three quarters.
• Navy owns a 19-7 (.731) record in games played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium under Niumatalolo and is 20-18 (.526) away from home.

The print of the photo on the shower curtain is uneven. The dark blue/black outline frame goes off the curtain on one side and is excessive on the other. This warrants a replacement shower curtain especially since this curtain is over $70.

top: H&M
When Jen did a "As Inspired..." post based on me I always knew I wanted to do one back. Looking through my wardrobe and through Jens looks I though "Right whats a classic Jen outfit" I though the Trouser/Breton combo was a perfect starter. Its the kind of outfit I always think of when I think about her! She has this perfect wardrobe of all the key and classic wardrobe pieces, you will ever need. Striped bretons? Check! Floral tea dresses? Check! Chunky oversized knits? Check! She makes me want to try peg leg trousers so much. Heres a few links to a few of my favourite outfits shes recently worn. I even wore red lips, because I think she looks freaking awesome with red lips!
So when I was shopping last weekend I decided to pick up a pair of these "jeggings" in Khaki. I shudder at the word Jeggings, Seriously it just sounds so wrong. Before you say " LILZ JEGGINGS AINT TREWS BRO!" I know, I know, I'm kinda cheating, but aren't jeggings now classed as trousers? They certainly are are at New Look as they are part of the new Denim Range (shameless plug, plz keep me employed New Look!) Now I haven't worn trousers in any form for what feels like... well actually has been about 3 years. I've honestly not even bothered trying any on until I started thinking about this little response post (Yes I think of blog things IRL!).
I tried, I really did try and have a go at wearing jeans/leggings/jeggings/whatever, but I've come to the conclusion, They really don't suit me. Maybe I just have a weird complex about my short legs that makes me paranoid that I look stumpy with them on! or maybe its because I stick to wearing tights because they are black make my legs look thinner? All I know is that I don't do jeans, and I don't think I will again! But hey, Fashions always about pushing yourself and working out whats good for you! I really am going to try some peglegs, although the fat leg issue will come up again and I can see myself not liking them.
Are any of you like me and have a jeans/trousers complex? Or do you wear nothing but jeans? Lemme know peeps!

In a surprising move, Carlo di Florio, director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations will leave the agency and become executive vice president, risk strategy for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's Office of Risk, Emerging Regulatory Issues, Enterprise Risk Management and Strategy.
Andrew Bowden will replace di Florio as director of OCIE and will lead its National Exam Program. Bowden joined the SEC in November 2011 as the National Associate Director for OCIE's Investment Adviser/Investment Company Examination Program, and he was appointed deputy director of OCIE in September 2012.
In his new post, announced Thursday, di Florio will have overall responsibility for ensuring that FINRA has effective processes for assessing the most significant risks to the investing public and the integrity of markets, and developing strategic responses to mitigate, manage and monitor those risks and industry trends, FINRA said.
In addition, di Florio will manage FINRA's Enterprise Risk Management program to enhance FINRA's internal governance, risk management, quality control and compliance in support of FINRA's mission and strategy. He will start at FINRA on June 24.
"Carlo's expertise as a securities regulator will help FINRA focus its resources in the areas that pose the greatest threat to investors and markets. I am confident his leadership will enhance FINRA's critical role as an investor guardian in America's financial system," said FINRA Chairman and CEO Richard Ketchum, in a statement.
Di Florio joined the SEC in 2010. As the Director of OCIE, he oversaw the SEC's nationwide examination programs for, among other entities, investment advisors, broker-dealers, mutual funds, market exchanges and clearing agencies.
Di Florio led a comprehensive restructuring of the National Exam Program to strengthen the program's strategy, structure, expertise, processes and technology. The National Exam Program is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of more than 900 staff in 12 offices across the country. As part of the program, SEC examiners conduct risk-targeted exams of regulated entities including broker-dealers, investment advisors, clearing agencies, transfer agents and self-regulatory organizations.
Prior to working at the SEC, di Florio was a partner in the Financial Services Regulatory Practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he specialized in corporate governance, enterprise risk management and regulatory compliance.

Chad Curtis, a former MLB outfielder who played for six teams and won the World Series as a member of the Yankees in 1998 and '99, was charged today with five counts of sexual misconduct in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Curtis, 43, had been working as a volunteer at a local high school, but he was suspended a couple of weeks ago as prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into claims that he had touched several students inappropriately. Television station News 8 says Curtis allegedly "touched the female athletes during therapeutic assistance to an injury, but it crossed the line into touching and kissing intimate parts." Curtis denies the allegations.

NEW ORLEANS – Coast Guard men and women nationwide will celebrate the service's 222nd birthday August 3 and 4.
Eighth Coast Guard District personnel from all along the Gulf Coast will host gatherings of families and friends to honor the service.
The Eighth Coast Guard District covers all or part of 26 states throughout the Gulf Coast and heartland of America, and has approximately 4,045 active duty and reserve members, 6,000 auxiliarists and 288 civilian personnel.
During 2011 Coast Guard personnel in the Eighth Coast Guard District saved approximately 555 lives, assisted 3,786 people in distress, recovered 7,313 pounds of drugs, and saved $13,617,679 worth of property.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina labeled the worst natural disaster in American history, created a 900,000 square-mile area of destruction along the Gulf coast. In that destruction were the homes of Coast Guard families. More than 33,400 people were saved and evacuated during the hurricane response effort.
"Coast Guard day is a great day to celebrate our heritage and accomplishments with our shipmates and our families, and take a well deserved break as we get ready for new challenges and future missions," said Capt. Todd Sokalzuk, chief of staff for the Eighth Coast Guard District.
The U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, the predecessor of the modern-day U.S. Coast Guard, was established at the urging of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton's Revenue Cutter Act authorized construction of the original 10 cutters of the Revenue Marine on Aug. 4, 1790.
The Coast Guard was created in 1915 when President Woodrow Wilson signed into law the "Act to Create the Coast Guard". This law combined the Life-Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service to form the Coast Guard, the nation's oldest, continuous, seagoing service.

Since the January announcement that J.J. Abrams will direct the upcoming sequel "Star Wars: Episode VII," fans' heads have been spinning with uncertainty.
If the man himself, George Lucas, could abandon them for gimmicky aliens with speech impediments and immense cityscapes best left to "Bladerunner" and "The Fifth Element," what would the "Lost" creator and flare-obsessed "Star Trek" reboot director do? Some already think he should quit the project.
But many fans are just hoping to remind Abrams what "Star Wars" was all about for them, and ask him to make the next film a worthy one. dearjjabrams.com draws a line in the sand with four rules for Abrams and begs him, "For the lover of all that is holy. Don't mess this up!"

Just wanted to note that this code change below is just enough to make the CPAN EXPLORER work again.
Index: Padre/Task/CPAN.pm =================================================================== --- Padre/Task/CPAN.pm (revision 19729) +++ Padre/Task/CPAN.pm (working copy) @@ -108,10 +108,11 @@ query => { filtered => { query => { - custom_score => { - query => { bool => { should => $should } }, - script => "_score - doc['documentation'].stringValue.length()/100" - }, + bool => { should => $should } + # custom_score => { + # query => { bool => { should => $should } }, + # script => "_score - doc['documentation'].stringValue.length()/100" + # }, }, filter => { and => [
Something is wrong with the custom_score query. metacpan is rejecting the request whenever the custom_score query is passed. I think it may also have something to do with the scripting language settings ( http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/scripting/ ).As noted in the link the default language for scripting in elasticsearch is mvel. This change can be a workaround until someone figures out how make the custom_score query work.

Pols' 2012 reading lists
Which books were on politicos' nightstands this year?
The latest installment of Robert Caro's epic series on Lyndon B. Johnson, Sen. Marco Rubio's memoir, and the pop-culture sensation that was the "Hunger Games" trilogy, to name a few.
The Wall Street Journal asked 50 influential figures what books they enjoyed in 2012, and plenty of politicians past and present showed up on the list, published Friday.
"Mr. Caro shows how much being freed from the pursuit of power liberated Johnson, allowing him to act more out of principle rather than political expedience," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said about "The Passage of Power."
"I got lost in those books—rooting for Katniss as she did battle, fell in love and experienced loss," former D.C. schools chancellor Michelle Rhee said of the "Hunger Games" trilogy.
Outgoing Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) called out Republican Fla. Sen. Rubio's book, "An American Son," for "reveal[ing] the heart of a great national leader."
Political books caught the eye of some outside-the-Beltway personalities, too: Filmmaker Judd Apatow cited Henry Wiencek's "Master of the Mountain" about Thomas Jefferson, for example.
Here are the politics-centric names on the Journal's list and which books they said they liked this year.
• Former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-Fla.): Charles Murray's "Coming Apart"
• Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.): Sen. Marco Rubio's (R-Fla.) "An American Son"
• Secretary of Education Arne Duncan: Paul Tough's "How Children Succeed"; Clayton Christensen's "How Will You Measure Your Life?"
• Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: Richard Slotkin's "The Long Road to Antietam"; Robert Caro's "The Passage of Power"; Charles Mann's "1493" and Jon Gertner's "The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation"
• Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey: Andrew McCarthy's "Spring Fever"; M. Zuhdi Jasser's "A Battle for the Soul of Islam"; Daniel Klaidman's "Kill or Capture"
• Former District of Columbia schools chancellor Michelle Rhee: Paul Tough's "How Children Succeed"; Michelle Obama's "American Grown"; Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Infidel"; Steve Perry's "Push Has Come to Shove"; Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games" trilogy
• Ron Paul mega-donor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel: Sonia Arrison's "100 Plus"; Timothy Snyder's "Bloodlands"; René Girard's "Resurrection From the Underground"; Jean-Michel Oughourlian's "Psychopolitics"
• Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.): Jean Edward Smith's "Eisenhower in War and Peace"; William Manchester and Paul Reid's "The Last Lion"; Barbara W. Tuchman's "Stilwell and the American Experience in China"

Thousand Foot Krutch frontman Trevor McNevan performs at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada as part of the Creation Festival: The Tour. The band has toured with KoRn and Sevendust. Photo by Eliza Marie Somers
If you like your rock 'n' roll on the heavy side with a slice of metal — Sevendust and KoRn — then Thousand Foot Krutch is a band you need to Google. And if that's not your style — a little poppish punk alternative suits you more — try FM Static on for size. The common threads of these two bands are singer/songwriter Trevor McNevan and drummer Steve Augustine.
It's a case of duel identities, but it allows McNevan and Augustine to explore their musical interests with two current CDs — TFK's "Welcome to the Masquerade" and FM Static's "Dear Diary" — that are as different as a mocha latte with whipped cream and a double espresso dark.
The formation of FM Static in 2004 came out of McNevan's songwriting for other bands that are not as jagged around the edges at Thousand Foot Krutch (TFK), which McNevan started while in high school in Canada.
"FM Static was an expression of myself," said McNevan of the softer side of rock. "And Steve also likes that music so we decided to explore and express ourselves in pop/rock. It's more like summer rock, the lighter side, and it's been a lot of fun."

President Barack Obama needled a GOP senator Tuesday, then praised Republicans working to solve the immigration riddle. He pledged to re-engage with Congress to close the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, then decried the intractability of Congress. He cast Republicans as potential allies, then criticized their obstruction.
When it comes to his relations with Congress, President Barack Obama is a man of two minds.
"It comes as no surprise, not even to the American people but even members of Congress themselves, that right now things are pretty dysfunctional up on Capitol Hill," Obama said during a news conference marking the 100th day of his second term. "Despite that, I'm actually confident that there are a range of things that we're going to be able to get done."
The limits of Obama's success with Congress have dogged his presidency since Republicans won control of the House in 2010. A fiscal "grand bargain" containing tax increases and long-term spending reductions has eluded him. The automatic budget cuts that he once vowed "will not happen," kicked in March 1. His push to win an expansion of background checks for buyers of firearms succumbed in the Senate.
During his 47-minute appearance in the White House briefing room, Obama's answers illustrated the complicated and sometimes contradictory approach he has taken in his dealings with lawmakers.
At one point, he complimented Republican senators with whom he has met, saying they appear to have a "genuine desire" to get beyond the gridlock of Washington. Yet moments before, he offered a scornful response to an assertion by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., that national security protections have deteriorated since he became president.
"Graham is not right on this issue," Obama said, "although I'm sure he generated some headlines."
He was dismissive when a questioner asked: "Do you still have the juice to get the rest of your agenda through this Congress?"
"If you put it that way," he told ABC's Jonathan Karl, "maybe I should just pack up and go home. Golly."
Paraphrasing Mark Twain, he added: "Rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated at this point."
He pointed to efforts to overhaul immigration law, applauding the work of a bipartisan group of senators who have proposed a bill that in addition to calling for a secure border would create a path toward citizenship for 11 million immigrants illegally in the country. He said he has had "some good conversations" with Republican senators on the consequences of the current budget cuts, known as "sequestration" in budget terms, and insisted that the solution requires Democrats and Republicans to compromise.
Obama's response was reminiscent of -- though less defensive than -- one given by President Bill Clinton in 1995 when he was forced to declare that "the president is still relevant." It was arguably one of the lowest points in Clinton's presidency up to that moment. All that changed the following day when domestic terrorists blew up the Oklahoma City federal building, and Clinton re-established himself as a national leader.
Obama, who has had to play a similar role in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings and a deadly fertilizer plant explosion in Texas, defended the limits of his influence, casting himself in the role of persuader, not enforcer.
"I cannot force Republicans to embrace those common-sense solutions," he said. "I can urge them to. I can put pressure on them. I can rally the American people around those common-sense solutions. But ultimately, they, themselves, are going to have to say, we want to do the right thing."
He complained that the challenge facing implementation of his health care reform law is, "You've got half of Congress who is determined to try to block implementation and not adequately funding implementation." He also said there are Republican governors "who know that it's bad politics for them to try to implement this effectively."
Obama has been engaged in a new charm offensive lately, reaching out to Republicans, particularly in the Senate. He has invited about two dozen of them for dinner and has spoken to the Senate and House Republican caucuses. But he and his aides bristle at the idea that he does not use the power of the presidency well enough to win his way with Congress.
At a black-tie dinner Saturday, Obama took note of a column by New York Times writer Maureen Dowd, who criticized the White House for not deploying "pit-bull legislative aides" to secure votes as a fictional president played by Michael Douglas had done in the movie "The American President."
"Michael, what's your secret, man?" Obama joked. "Could it be that you were an actor in an Aaron Sorkin liberal fantasy?"
If Obama's relations with Republicans are complex, they are also fraught with the liberal wing of his own party.
Even as he reiterated his call for a large fiscal compromise to replace the sequester, a coalition of liberal groups launched a campaign Tuesday to simply kill the budget cuts.
"The public is not interested in a grand bargain," said Roger Hickey, co-director of the liberal Campaign for America's Future. "If the president would become a champion of jobs instead of a champion of a deal with Republicans, it would be much more popular and would force the Republicans into a position where they would have to answer him."
Obama instead decried congressional efforts to deal with the budget cuts piecemeal. He singled out legislation that will allow the Federal Aviation Administration to dip into money set aside for airport improvements to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays. "Essentially what we've done is we've said, In order to avoid delays this summer, we're going to ensure delays for the next two or three decades."
But vetoing the bill, he said, would not result in a broader fix.
"It just means that there would be pain now, which they would try to blame on me, as opposed to pain five years from now," he said.
So Obama planned to sign it.

Tiny Animals formed in 2007, one year after the breakup of frontman Chris Howerton's previous band, Fighterpilot. Joined by younger sister Rita Maye Howerton and bassist Philip Galitzine, Howerton wasted little time writing alt rock songs for his new group, and Tiny Animals entered the recording studio with producer Darryl Neudorf before the year was up. Although they emerged from the studio with a full album, they eventually scrapped those songs and recorded a second album on their own, with former Fighterpilot bassist Anton Kreisl replacing Galitzine (who had left to join the Brooklyn-based Atomic Tom). The result was Sweet Sweetness, a mix of alt rock and pop material that was released in 2009 by North Street Records. ~ Andrew Leahey~ Rovi

Republican Mario Nicolais thinks he's the candidate to unseat Democrat Andy Kerr
Mario Nicolais, who chastised his own party for its handling of a civil unions bill in the 2012 legislative session, formally kicked off his state Senate campaign at the Lakewood Heritage Center.
Nicolais pointed out that winning the seat, currently held by Democrat Andy Kerr, is crucial to Republicans taking control of the Senate. Senate District 22 is expected to be the epicenter of the 2014 Senate election battle.
Nicolais is an attorney who serves as spokesman of Coloradans for Freedom, a group of Republicans who support civil unions. His fans believe he the perfect candidate to win a swing district. Supporters include former state lawmakers Josh Penry and Rob Witwer, who are among the co-hosts for a fundraiser for Nicolais Thursday night at the Lakewood Country Club.
Nicolais faces Tony Sanchez in the GOP primary.

Finding the Right Message
In a few years my son may enter the workforce. I've been trying to find the right message to convey to him now so that he may be successful finding employment. Recently I had the opportunity to attend an Employment Think Tank hosted by Autism Speaks that featured employers, service providers, researchers and self-advocates. The meeting left me feeling hopeful. There are high-quality companies—such as AMC Theaters, TIAA-CREF, Specialisterne, to name a few—who are employing, and looking to employ, more people on the autism spectrum. Furthermore, one can expect large companies that have contracts with the federal government to be looking to hire more people with disabilities by 2013, after new regulations for Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are published in December.
In my prior vocation, when younger associates sought advice about their careers, I pointed them toward choices that would allow them to build a knowledge base from which they could develop sought-after skills. As I listened to employers at the Think Tank talk about what they were seeking from future employees, I thought about what knowledge base our family should help our son build, and what "core skills" employers were seeking from employees with ASD. In our case, the knowledge base probably needs to include a sound understanding of my son's strengths so that he, as well as my wife and I, can articulate these to potential employers or educators. The strengths should include specific skills and tasks that he does well, as well as areas of special interest. We should not assume that employers will discover his talents. As a corollary, we should also be aware of specific situations or stumbling blocks that we should look to avoid. Armed with this knowledge, we should build the following skill sets that employers mentioned during the Think Tank:
Dependability: A dependable employee arrives to work regularly and punctually. Therefore, we need to develop transportation skills—which may include driving, finding someone else to drive, or taking public transportation independently. Too often families attempt to develop transportation skills after employment has been secured, and resulting missteps make the employee appear unreliable to the employer. Dependable employees also accomplish tasks given to them, so we may wish to help our son develop task analysis skills so that he can break down his assignment into small, achievable steps.
Common Sense: This is a tough skill for our population to develop. Adults with ASD don't necessarily "get it" reliably. We need to help our son become aware when he doesn't understand what is being expected of him, and how to ask the questions he needs in order to clarify the situation. Part of this process may include developing effective self-advocacy skills, such as reminding employers to use specific instructions and avoid euphemistic speech if possible. An effective self-advocate seeks "reasonable" accommodations, and should also be willing to do himself what he is asking others to do.
Good Attitude: This is often easier to develop than common sense, especially if the job is in an area of high interest. Doing a job well ought to be a reward in itself. Helping to establish the old maxim, "any job worth doing is worth doing well" will be highly appreciated by potential employers.
Workplace Navigation: The ability to navigate the workplace includes understanding what behaviors are appropriate in different situations. This will include an understanding of public versus private space. Most places at work are public, though one's own cubicle or office is usually somewhat more private. When customers are present some behaviors may be expected that are not otherwise. Meetings are different events than breaks in the snack room. Touching coworkers must be done within prescribed rules or not at all, and interactions with coworkers will be different than interactions at home with family. Appropriate socialization at work may be very difficult to cultivate.
Most employers feel confident that they can teach job-specific skills, but these "soft skills" are the ones that our family needs to work on developing now because they will be needed in almost any workplace. I hope that if I can send the right message now, my son can find the right job in the future.

The most esteemed thinkers of ancient Greece and Rome had sex on the brain -- a lot. And it isn't any wonder, really, considering that the human instinct to mate is as potent a drive as hunger pangs in the belly or a parched tongue in need of liquid relief. Moreover, back then in the BCs, the birds and the bees know-how that's taken for granted today remained shrouded in myth and mystery. But that doesn't mean men didn't take a stab at sussing out what all of the sexy fuss was about.
Fourth century B.C. thinker Aristotle, for instance, believed that the degree of heat a man produces during sex determines a baby's sex. If he's warmer than the woman, a boy it shall be; vice versa gets a girl. Greek contemporary and physician Hippocrates attributed female patients' mental health instability and anxiety to hysteria, or a wandering womb [source: Catonné]. And in "Natural History," written in the 1st century A.D., Roman writer Pliny warned that intercourse would taint lactating women's breast milk.
As science advanced from philosophy to empirical knowledge over time, groundbreaking discoveries throughout the centuries -- like the five on this list -- revealed the reproductive equipment inside the human body and even where monogamous love between two sexually active people comes from.
