LOS ANGELES — Game shows occupy a unique corner of the American brain. Who can't name Vanna White's chosen profession? Who can't place that immortal shout of "Survey says!"? Do the words "double jeopardy" actually invoke the law for anyone? Even if we haven't seen any game shows in years, we are quite familiar with their existence.
And no one is more familiar with the symbiotic relationship between America and its game shows than game shows themselves.
On a sunny Southern California Wednesday morning, as I crossed the Sony Pictures Studios lot with 150 fellow tourists toward a towering image of an avuncular Alex Trebek, our guide offered a fact as sobering as it was absurd.
"More than 90 million people have never known the world without 'Jeopardy!' or 'Wheel of Fortune,'" the guide said.
That's about 28 percent of the United States. If anything, it sounded light.
Pat Sajak has hosted "Wheel of Fortune" for 32 years. Vanna White has presided over its letters for 31. Trebek began hosting "Jeopardy!" during Ronald Reagan's first term. The "Price Is Right" has been in our living rooms for 42 years. Game shows aren't just entertainment; they're distant relatives.
Judging by the crowds I met on my game show vacation, they're also as entrenched in the American psyche as ever. Yes, a game show vacation. During three days in March, I attended tapings of three of our most venerable institutions: "The Price Is Right," "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune." Crowds were large and enthusiastic. There were few, if any, empty seats.
Tapings were all free and lasted only slightly longer than the shows that would eventually air on television. Pauses were included for commercial breaks, and what happened during those breaks varied by show — from a dance party ("The Price Is Right") to a sobering discussion of mortality ("Jeopardy!"). Sitting in those audiences also helped explain why game shows have thrived through the generations. As a dapper, gray-suited Trebek said during a break, the shows — and particularly his — are "the American dream."
"We provide an opportunity for people to succeed based on their skills," he said. "We're a meritocracy. I like that."
Apparently so do we, Alex.
Tuesday: "The Price Is Right" (3 p.m., Los Angeles)
Joy and tension hang over "The Price Is Right" in the hours before a taping.
The joy is rooted in the mere truth of being here: After watching dozens or hundreds of episodes, 283 people from any and every state will finally see the show in all its bright, frenetic glory. The tension comes from the fact that contestants, unlike in most game shows, are picked from the audience. Who will it be?
Most of the audience clearly hopes to be picked. In a line stretching around the hulking CBS Television City — where "The Young and The Restless" and "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" also are taped, among others — they wear homemade T-shirts reading "I love money," "Baby needs a new car" (accompanied by an image of a fetus inside the wearer's belly) and "All I want for my birthday is to play Plinko." Birthday shirts are a common theme.
Stan Blits is too busy looking into each audience member's eyes to look at the T-shirts. Blits, who started on "The Price Is Right" 35 years ago as a page, is a co-producer who decides which audience members will be part of the game.
"You can tell in three seconds if they have it," Blits says.
"It" is not just energy and excitement — it is sustained energy and excitement. He wants the people who won't wilt beneath the bright lights and who are likely to offer show host Drew Carey a humorous moment onstage. Blits meets each show's audience in groups of 20 as they're herded along the red metal rails that wind around the building. He meets the crossroads of America there: salespeople, chefs, uniformed military, homemakers, teachers and students. So many students.
In rapid succession, he greets everyone by name, asks what they do, makes a joke off the response and then sees what they have. Behind him, two young women sit in director's chairs, taking notes on yellow legal pads. As Blits finishes with each group, he says something along the lines of, "If you get on that stage, I want to see you go crazy!" Then the group goes crazy and moves on to continue waiting in line and to ponder, say, the cost of a new Jet Ski.
And then, after three or four hours of waiting, it is time. Stagehands lead the crowd into the studio, which is a bit like being ushered into the guts of a gum-ball machine. The walls are covered in orange, yellow and blue, adorned with twinkling lights and the occasional neon. Adults look like wide-eyed children entering this wonderland.
"The Price Is Right" is an exhausting, cacophonous affair. We stand and sit, stand and sit, clap, clap more, clap louder and, of course, shout prices at the stage because no one knows the cost of that laundry detergent better than we do. The studio gets so loud that when a contestant is summoned to "Come on down!" a stagehand also reveals the name on a white poster board; otherwise we probably wouldn't hear it.
Whoever is called inevitably shrieks, puts his hands to his face or does a little dance, then runs to the stage, just as we've seen on television. Except this time, we are the ones high-fiving the contestant as he comes on down.
During commercial breaks, "The Price Is Right" keeps the party going with Carey's jokes and boogie music from the speakers above. At one break, the show cranks up "Let's Groove," by Earth Wind & Fire, then turns it down for Carey to do some shtick. Sensing that everyone just wants to dance, he instructs the hidden powers to turn the music back on. Sure enough, everyone stands and gets their groove on once more.
We would see contestants win two cars, a home gym and vacations to Cancun and Colorado. One woman who joined Carey onstage was so overwhelmed that she cried — and this was before she even played her game. Cameras whipped around, and the models were forever fixing their hair and moving into place beside that new car. Ninety-five percent of the room wasn't summoned to be on the show, but no one much minded. We were at "The Price Is Right."
Wednesday: "Jeopardy!" (11 a.m., Culver City)
The "Price Is Right" spends hours herding its guests around the exterior of the CBS studio, but "Jeopardy!" ushers us into history.
"You are literally on the yellow brick road," our guide says as we walk in two tight lines, passing tall warehouses with massive sliding doors — "elephant doors" they're called — while staying clear of golf carts jammed with tools and wardrobe.
He explained: "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed at Sony Pictures Studios back when it was called MGM Studios. The yellow brick road was painted on the lot where we walked. This time, however, we were headed for a wizard named Trebek.
Whereas "The Price Is Right" was a colorful swirl of movement and frenzy, the "Jeopardy!" studio, which seats 125 people, is a stately room of grays and blues. Before us is that legendary setup: 30 screens (six categories with five incremental dollar values), Trebek's podium and, across the stage, the three lecterns where conquest and defeat would unfold in the form of arcane knowledge. At the lip of the stage — out of sight of cameras and home viewers — a long table of telephones, dictionaries and TV screens awaits judges, producers and researchers.
Looking well in brown slacks and a white satin "Jeopardy!" jacket, Johnny Gilbert — the 89-year-old voice behind the show's "This … is … 'JEOPARDY!'" opening, steps out for a briefing. Don't shout out answers, even if it's what we do at home, he says. (At "The Price Is Right," we were castigated if we didn't shout out answers.) Because we would be seeing three episodes taped, Trebek would be changing clothes between shows, Gilbert tells us. Winning contestants also would be changing between shows.
Taping starts about 11:15 a.m., with Gilbert's legendary introduction. He stands to our left, gripping the edges of his lectern and speaking with his entire body. Trebek emerges, the big board comes to life, and the questions begin to fly, appearing for the audience both on the big board and screens flanking the stage. Questions and answers seem to come even faster than they do on television. It makes me realize I probably would be crushed as a contestant.
Six minutes later we take a commercial break. There is no Earth, Wind & Fire and no dancing, just the stately Trebek. He asks how many of us are from out of state. Ninety percent of the audience raises their hands. Then he takes questions: "What book most influenced you?" ("The Moonstone," by Wilkie Collins.) "Will you regrow your mustache?" (It must be a common query, because a stagehand slips him a fake mustache to wear for the answer.) "Do you watch the show at home?" (Not until recently; now that he's in his mid-70s, he occasionally tunes in to be sure he's not "losing it.") Trebek also is remarkably confessional, saying he has had nearly 20 surgeries for various ailments and that "a glass of wine relaxes me and gets my mind off the pain."
Three tapings and many more questions and answers later, we are finished. On the way out, a woman asks me to take a photo of her and two others behind a mock "Jeopardy!" set just inside the studio door. I realize that one of the people I am photographing had just been on an episode. He had lost badly and carried the extra clothes he brought to Los Angeles in case of a long run on the show. Instead, after five years of preparing to be on "Jeopardy!" he was finished in 40 minutes.
"It is incredibly intimidating," he says. "I did theater in high school, and it didn't prepare me for the razzmatazz at all. Being that close to Alex Trebek after watching 'Jeopardy!' for 20 years — wow!"
Thursday: "Wheel of Fortune" (3 p.m., Culver City)
"Isn't she pretty?" Tasha Cook, 17, asks as we pass a cutout of Vanna White on our way into the studio.
"I know — don't we hate her?" replies Alex Cutler, also 17, though she means it as a compliment.
"And she's not that young, I think," Cook says. "How old is she?"
The girls, part of a high school group from Toronto, do some quick math before settling on mid-50s for the nation's most iconic letter turner (which is about right). We push past the hall of "Wheel" memorabilia, which includes photos of foreign versions of the show (in Turkey, it's "Carkifelek") and missives from past winners about how their "Wheel of Fortune" fortune changed their lives.
The 160-seat studio also features a bit of "The Wizard of Oz" trivia — the tornado scene was filmed here. But more remarkable is what sits in the studio today: that clacking, spinning wheel and emerald board. As we take our seats, contestants are already at the wheel, getting tutored by a producer on the proper method of spinning, applauding after a spin and shouting out their letters ("Louder!" they are told repeatedly). Beside me sits a man from Oregon who is in the midst of fulfilling his gray-haired mother's dream. "She has been watching this show for over 30 years, every single night," he whispers to me. "She's excited."
It's difficult not to be excited, or at least a little impressed, the first time Sajak and White stride out, arm in arm, looking vaguely like the president and first lady of The People's Republic of Game Shows. Unlike the other shows, however, they don't have much to say to the audience and offer no insights into themselves or the show, beyond Sajak saying that if we whisper answers too loudly, the puzzle will be thrown out.
Like at "Jeopardy!" we watch three tapings, which is a lot of spins of that big wheel. It also is a lot of puzzles featuring the same categories familiar to anyone who has seen an episode or two: "Fun and Games," "Before and After" and "Movie Titles." (I'd laugh at the woman who tries solving a movie title as "Amuse House," but if sitting in three game show audiences has taught me anything, it's that I'm not sure I'd fare much better.)
I met someone at the "Jeopardy!" taping who described the experience as "cheesy-awesome." If true, then watching "Wheel of Fortune" unfold is cheesier-awesome. At "Jeopardy!" knowledge flies around with lightning quickness, and it is impressive.
At "Wheel," things move considerably slower. Inevitably you will solve a puzzle that the contestants don't, and it will drive you a little crazy — that money could be yours! Also inevitable is that the person sitting next to you will whisper an answer in your ear with great satisfaction even though 95 percent of the letters have been revealed and the answer is clear to us all.
Between shows, I chat with those high school girls from Toronto. They also had been at the previous day's "Jeopardy!" taping. Though they watch "Jeopardy!" at home, they found the taping a bit slow. They prefer the incessant applause and energy of "Wheel."
"In that case," I say, "you really should have been at 'The Price Is Right' a couple days ago."
The remarkable thing about a game show taping is how quaint it all seems. The years of history, the massive viewership, the synergy with the American consciousness — none of that seems possible in a studio of fewer than 300 people. But occasionally there's a reminder.
Like when a woman takes the unusual step of solving a "Wheel" puzzle despite the fact she has earned no money that round; enough letters have been revealed to make the answer clear, and she doesn't want someone else to solve it.
"You don't have to justify it to me," Sajak tells her. "Just America."
After so many decades in your living room, the game shows never forget: America is watching.

ODU Rowing Wins Gold and Bronze in Knecht Cup
By ODU Athletics
April 12, 2009
Camden, N.J. – In its first time through a regatta with a heats to semis to finals progression, the ODU women's rowing team came away with a first place finish in the WF8 and a third place finish in the WV4 at the 2009 Knecht Cup held this weekend. The WF4 won its Petite Final by open water and posted the third fastest time of the event between the Petite and Grand Final.
In drenching rain with quartering head wind conditions, the F4 began the day for ODU with a race that was tightly contested for the first 1,300 meters. The Lady Monarchs broke away from the pack with 500 meters to go and crossed the finish line by a comfortable margin of open water.
The V4 was in a four boat race until the 1000-meter mark when Tulsa moved ahead. At that point the race was between ODU, Philadelphia, and West Virginia University. West Virginia had been a challenge for the Lady Monarchs in the heat races and semifinals. In both events, ODU pushed past the Mountaineers in the last 400 meters. However, in the Grand ODU and Philadelphia moved away from WVU after the 1,250 mark, making the race for second and third came down to the wire with both boats crossing the line with less than one second between them.
The Frosh 8 won all three of their races over the weekend by open water to dominate the event rowing at a 32 through the line.
"We are so happy with the results of the entire team today," said head coach Heather Weisel. "Everyone pushed themselves and found new speed today. It was a tremendous opportunity to practice race strategy and experience working our way through this type of regatta."
Next up for ODU are the CAA Championships where they will row a combined lineup of several Frosh 8 and Varsity 4 rowers in the WV8 and the W2V8 in the Inaugural CAA Rowing Championships.

ALEPPO, Syria, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Car bombs exploded at two traffic circles a mile apart in the northern Syrian city of Idlib, killing 22 people, the government news agency SANA reported.
The pro-opposition group Observatory for Human Rights said 24 people were killed in the blasts Wednesday and that the incidents involved three cars.
The explosions occurred in a part of a province in which Idlib is under government control, with the surrounding area controlled by rebels, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The violence came the day after 82 people died in two explosions on the University of Aleppo campus, and the Syrian Education Ministry called for a day of mourning at the school.
The Observatory for Human Rights said at least 87 people were killed and more than 150 injured when the bombs exploded on the first day of exams at the university, Voice of America reported. The group said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack.
Syrian state media called the blasts a "terrorist attack."
Aleppo, located in northwestern Syria, has been torn by nearly two years of fighting between government forces and rebel groups who control much of the city, CNN reported.
Free Syria Army spokesman Abdulla Yasin said rebels were nowhere near the campus, which is located in a government-controlled area.
The Syrian opposition, the Local Coordination Committees, told Britain's The Guardian fighting has resumed in Aleppo.
The group reported at least 25 people, including three children, were killed in Syria Wednesday.
Russia announced it was suspending consular operations in Aleppo. The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized a Swiss-led request to refer the crisis in Syria to the International Criminal Court, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported.
"We believe the initiative is untimely and counterproductive for the resolution of the priority task, which is to immediately stop bloodshed in Syria," the ministry said.
The request, signed by more than 50 countries, called on the United Nations Security Council to send the matter to the ICC, which is responsible for genocide and war crime prosecutions.

Dinner Tonight: Caldo Gallego Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Halfway through making this Galician soup, I started to have second thoughts. The recipe came from Spain...on the Road Again, the Gwyneth Paltrow, Mario Batali, Mark Bittman, and Claudia Bassols public television show where they drive around Spain in Mercedes Benzes with cameras trained on them eating. Sure, it tasted great in the hills of Spain, but here all I had was a little sautéed bacon, some cubed potatoes and turnips, an onion, a can of white beans, and water in a pot. As my kitchen filled with the unmistakable smell of boiled vegetables, I wondered where this soup was headed. Do I even like turnips? I don't seem to like their smell. I put my faith in the Spanish chorizo still to come and the hearty greens that would wilt in the last minutes of cooking.
Of course, it all came together beautifully. I never would have thought to put a cured sausage into a soup, but it flavored the broth with a porky spiciness that imbued all the humble vegetables with bright flavor and color. The result is filling and healthy, a peasant soup to feed an army for nothing. In fact, I halved the recipe on the show's blog (the original supposedly feeds 4-6) and my recipe still yielded three dinners for two.
- Yield:4 to 6
- 1/4 pound thickly sliced pancetta or slab bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 14-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 large baking potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 large turnip, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/4 pound Spanish chorizo, casings removed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/2 pound turnip greens (or other dark leafy green, such as kale or spinach), stemmed and coarsely chopped
In a large soup pot, cook the pancetta or bacon over medium heat for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fat is rendered.
In the meantime, peel and dice the potato, turnip, and onion. Add them to the pot along with enough water to cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until almost soft but not falling apart.
Add the beans, chorizo, and greens and continue simmering until the greens are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread.

"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put into the action that we do." —Mother Teresa
"…most of us have a pretty good idea of what we what we expect from a doctor or a teacher. For social work, the role expectations are not quite as clearly understood by the general public. Perhaps this is because there are so many professional roles in social work. The number and diversity of social work roles provide opportunity for a great deal of creativity in practice."
—Suppes, M., Cressey Wells, C. (2003)
The social worker is involved in the process of making referrals to link a family or person to needed resources. Social work professionals do not simply provide information. They also follow up to be sure the needed resources are attained. This requires knowing resources, eligibility requirements, fees and the location of services.
In this role, social workers fight for the rights of others and work to obtain needed resources by convincing others of the legitimate needs and rights of members of society. Social workers are particularly concerned for those who are vulnerable or are unable to speak up for themselves. Advocacy can occur on the local, county, state or national level. Some social workers are involved in international human rights and advocacy for those in need.
Case managers are involved in locating services and assisting their clients to access those services. Case management is especially important for complex situations and for those who are homeless or elderly, have chronic physical or mental health issues, are disabled, victims of domestic or other violent crimes, or are vulnerable children.
Social Workers are often involved in teaching people about resources and how to develop particular skills such as budgeting, the caring discipline of children, effective communication, the meaning of a medical diagnosis, and the prevention of violence.
In this role, social workers are involved in gathering groups of people together for a variety of purposes including community development, self advocacy, political organization, and policy change. Social workers are involved as group therapists and task group leaders.
Social Workers are involved in many levels of community organization and action including economic development, union organization, and research and policy specialists.
Social Workers, because of their expertise in a wide variety of applications, are well suited to work as managers and supervisors in almost any setting. As managers, they are better able to influence policy change and/or development, and to advocate, on a larger scale, for all underprivileged people.
Social Worker: A professional YOU can be proud to be!

With 11 first-round submission victories in 12 career wins, Cody McKenzie – and his opponents – never really knew where his conditioning stood.
Over the years, his variations of the guillotine choke have wreaked havoc on them. But in his two career losses (one official and one in an exhibition match), including his most recent to Yves Edwards, McKenzie found himself struggling to keep up with the pace.
However, with "The Ultimate Fighter 12" alum knowing he had a hole in his game that needed filled, McKenzie (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) made the adjustments needed to ensure that he's performing at full speed against Vagner Rocha (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 25 event.
"I've never had good wind," McKenzie recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "Everybody who's watched me fight knows that. I've finished all my fights in the first (round), and when it's gone to the second, I got finished. The two times I've ever been beaten, I gassed (in) both of them. So, I knew that my cardio needed readjusting, so I have worked a lot more on my cardio for this fight.
"But yeah, I've never had the best wind, but definitely from now on out you won't see me gassing."
McKenzie and Rocha fight Saturday at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The night's main card airs on Spike TV, though McKenzie vs. Rocha is the featured bout on the UFC Fight Night 25 preliminary card that streams on Facebook.
Despite his conditioning efforts, McKenzie said fans can expect the same style come fight night.
"I'm going to go in there and fight that same pace I've always fought, but this time I'm not going to fold," he said. "I feel like the two fights I did lose, I was winning until I couldn't breathe anymore – then I got finished for it. Fifteen minutes isn't a long time, so you won't see me doing that any more. I might have to sit down after the 15 minutes, but like I said before, if it goes to a decision, I'm not happy with my performance anyway."
McKenzie puts his newfound cardio to the test against Rocha, a talented Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who's also looking to return to the win column following a UFC-debut loss to Donald Cerrone. Full of confidence, McKenzie plans to push the pace and make a statement.
"I'm not looking at Vagner Rocha as anything special," he said. "I look at him as I look at any opponent: I'm going to beat him up. I'm usually pretty confident going into a fight. Like pretty much at the end of this fight, I don't want him thinking 'Oh, I hope I can get a rematch with Cody McKenzie.' I want him being like, 'Please, please, never ever lock me in a cage with that kid again.'
"I don't want people thinking that it was a close fight or that it was decent. I want this guy to feel it, get punished from the very start to the very end, and that's what's going to happen. If he wins, I feel that I should retire myself. If I lose two in a row, I don't feel that I belong at the high level. So, this is my fight for redemption, and I'm going in there to get it."
With that being said, McKenzie's not letting the pressure that comes with the possibility of losing back-to-back fights get the best of him. Instead, he's on a mission to get back on track in the ranks of the lightweight division.
"There's always pressure in a fight to a point," he said. "I go in there thinking that it's a fight. One person wins, one person loses, and I know that, but I always go in there expecting myself to win and planning on winning. For sure, (there's) a whole new pressure coming off a loss. Like I said, if I lose two in a row, I don't deserve to be at the high level. I should go back to the smaller shows and work my way back up and get some wins if I lose.
"But I'm definitely not planning on losing. I'm going to destroy this guy."

I feel that now that Abhishek Bachchan have enough time to think about everything except focusing on his acting. That is why, he recently said that Bollywood should not be called Bollywood. He does and like the time and the things that it should be called Indian film industry.
From Film Journal:
"We prefer 'the Indian film industry,'" he says gently. "We're the largest film industry in the world, we make the most amount of films in a year and sell the most amount of tickets, so I think we have our own identity. We have the utmost respect for
I really cannot understand why he's so concerned about the name because it is the name Bollywood that is associated with these actors. Abhishek Bachchan perhaps think that he's a super hero but the reality is that is still in the shadow of his father and his wife.

The Asian Cold War
China and Japan's island spat is much more than a battle over a bunch of uninhabited rocks. And it won't be ending anytime soon.
The roiling dispute over a remote set of rocks in the East China Sea, known to the Japanese as the Senkaku Islands and to the Chinese as the Diaoyus, is more than a mere diplomatic spat between two of the world's largest economies. It has stripped away the thin veneer of cooperation between the two Asian giants that most observers assumed would ripen as the two countries became increasingly economically intertwined. It also serves as yet another reminder of just how potent territorial disputes remain in Asia and how little trust there is between countries where the wounds of previous conflicts are still fresh. Although the probability of actual conflict between China and Japan over the Senkakus is negligible, the current crisis is the herald of a new cold war that will persist for years, if not decades. The result will be an Asia that remains fragmented, unable to overcome the baggage of the past, and one in which the specter of accidental conflict is ever present.
This is not how Asia's most important tandem was supposed to turn out. Perhaps even without the conscious understanding of both countries' leaders, the two became ever more economically interdependent once China embarked on its market liberalization and reform period in the late 1970s. Japanese investment in China reached $6.5 billion in 2005, despite poor diplomatic relations, leading a senior official of the Japan External Trade Organization to claim that Japan and China's economic relationship is sufficiently compelling and mature to overcome occasional political flare-ups.
Such optimism is the same that propelled English politician and journalist Norman Angell to claim in 1909 that economic integration among the European countries was such as to make war between them impossible. Angell was proved tragically wrong just five years later, and the Japanese trade official's confidence from 2005 must similarly be seen in a more sober light in the recent wake of massive anti-Japanese protests that grew so violent that the Chinese government had to shut them down. The danger, clearly, is that politics will trump economics in the new Asian cold war.
The reverberations from the latest clash over the Senkakus continue to widen. Ever since Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's government announced in September that it was buying three of the five islands from their private Japanese owner, anti-Japanese protests have rocked China. The danger was great enough to force Honda and Toyota to suspend manufacturing operations inside China, and the Aeon department store chain closed its stores. (The three companies have since resumed operations.) All Nippon Airways announced in late September that 40,000 seats on China-Japan flights have been canceled, despite the upcoming Chinese holiday that usually draws thousands of tourists to Japan.
As the economic fallout became clearer and as Chinese commentators called openly for war with Japan, Noda doubled down on his rhetoric, publicly refusing to entertain the idea of compromise after Yang Jiechi, China's foreign minister, claimed the islands were "sacred territory." The war of words seemed for a while likely to become an actual shooting war, as up to 70 maritime patrol vessels and coast guard ships from both counties tensely confronted each other in the waters off the Senkakus.
How much worse will the crisis get, and what can be done to defuse tensions? There are tentative signs that leaders are trying to cool things down. On Oct. 1, Noda reshuffled his cabinet, giving a post to former Foreign Minister Makiko Tanaka, who has close ties with Beijing. The Chinese leadership, for its part, appears to be forestalling further public protests.
Yet even as each side continues to harden its rhetoric, Noda made a departure last week from the normal pattern of contentious dispute with China. The prime minister bluntly warned Beijing that it had more to lose than Japan from a continued conflict or war, and he prophesied that foreign investors would be scared away from a China that is seen as a bullying threat to its neighbors. The statement came on the heels of nine out of 10 months of decline in foreign direct investment in China, darkening an already dim economic picture.
Noda's threat might provide leaders in Beijing with an excuse to try to climb down from the position they've taken on the Senkakus. With the leadership transition scheduled for November already upended by the expulsion of Chongqing Communist Party boss Bo Xilai from the Chinese Communist Party and the mysterious disappearance of heir apparent Xi Jinping in early September, further uncertainty and instability is the last thing the leadership needs. Using Japan as a bogeyman to stoke nationalism and let off domestic steam is a time-honored tactic in China, yet the current crisis shows how it can cause a chain reaction that could prove uncontrollable.
So far, no lives have been lost in the waters off the Senkakus or on the streets of Beijing. Yet one casualty, or one miscalculation, and the crisis could indeed become far more serious, plunging the world's second- and third-largest economies into actual conflict. This would harm both economies, destabilize world markets, and force the United States into excruciatingly difficult choices over whether to uphold its mutual defense treaty with Japan and put at risk its entire relationship with China. Yet even absent intervention by the United States, China's numerous maritime disputes with neighbors make it harder to claim that it is the aggrieved party.
Thus, while it seems evident to all outside observers that a shooting war over uninhabited, if strategically placed, islets is not in China's best interests, it may have taken the events of the past few weeks to make this clear to China's beleaguered leadership. Fresh from months of territorial disputes in the South China Sea, Beijing could outmaneuver Tokyo by making a grand gesture for stability in Asia and announce it will accept the status quo and no longer protest Japan's administrative control over the islands. Whether that is a pipe dream or not depends on two factors unknowable to those outside the power corridors of Zhongnanhai: how calculating China's leaders actually are, and whether they are ridden by the tiger of Chinese nationalism or ride it themselves.
Whatever course China's leadership chooses, it will continue to believe itself to be wronged and that Japan precipitated this crisis by unilaterally trying to change the islands' status. Japan asserts that its 40 years of administrative control simply reflect its rightful ownership of the islands dating back a century. Shots may be avoided, but the cold war between Beijing and Tokyo is real and on display for all to see. However the current crisis gets resolved, it seems a safe bet that relations will only grow chillier with time.

Prince William and his Catherine took Little G to Bucklebury yesterday after the Queen's visit. Their residence at Kensington Palace is still being renovated and besides, as a new mother, I imagine Kate would want to be around her own mother, which doesn't seem unusual, not at all, although it might be unusual considering who she is and how it was done before her.
But then again, as we've seen time and again, Will and Kate have made a point of not doing it the way it was done before. Having seen what happened to his own mother when she became Princess of Wales, and the pressure she was under, and the lack of support she had around her in managing those challenges, being both young and isolated but still expected to "perform", Will made it very clear when he proposed to Kate that appropriate modifications would be made to the expected "protocol" so as to ensure that Kate could well cope with the demands of royal life.
Let her spend her first weeks with her baby in a place where she is most comfortable then. Where she is surrounded by her family, the people she trusts the most. These were allowances that were not available to Diana and, sadly, it took Diana's suffering to make them realise that arrangements could and should be made to facilitate all of Kate's transitions. Perhaps this was her final gift to her son. And, even though on the outside, William might get all the credit, it speaks to how subtly assertive Kate might be behind the scenes, especially when it comes to her wellness. After all, Happy Kate, Happy Monarchy.
Power isn't a word we normally associate with Katy Cambridge. Because she doesn't need to wear it in public. But this future Queen might actually be more powerful than we ever thought.

Cancer - Horse
The Horse, you may recall, is able to give himself up to a romantic passion and chuck everything - including his self-respect - for the sake of love. Cancer/Horses are, with their Scorpio counterparts, about the most self sacrificing. Love and its vicissitudes, the preservation of a home and kids and pets and insurance policies and telephone bills, can all be capable taken in hand by the Cancer/Horse. When questioned as to why he continues to struggle so hard and so seemingly alone without compassion or cooperation, the Cancer/Horse merely smiles. "It's for Janet. I love her." Or "Its because of the children, my home, my family." Cancer born Horses make love the way they work. With zeal, technique and devotion to duty. If you ever get into bed with one of these passionate people, you won't want to get out.

How Does the New Astrology™ Work?
The Chinese have divided time differently from us. We have 100-year centuries, the Chinese have periods of sixty years. We divide our centuries into ten decades. The Chinese divide their sixty-year spans into "dozencades" or twelve-year periods. At the end of each twelve-year period the Chinese cycle begins anew. The twelve occidental months have celestial sign names: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. The twelve oriental years have animal sign names: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Cat, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. In both cases the astrological sign name refers to the character of people born under its influence.

Cook the Book: 'Salad as a Meal'
You see, this is the perfect book for a week the heat wave decides to hit hard, when no one in their right mind wants to be anywhere near the kitchen. When the first triple-digit day of the season arrived last week, I felt confident that it was time for a week of cool, meal-worthy salads.
When temperatures soar, appetites tend to go one of two ways—dwindling to the point of nothingness or veering towards the imbalanced (ice cream and cold beer, what?). Yes, I subscribe to the latter category. This is where Patricia Wells comes in.
She's a journalist, food critic, cookbook author, and teacher who splits her time between Paris and the sunny south of France. The inspiration for her salad-themed book springs from her personal view that "a salad does not need to include lettuce or greens; it can simply be a light and refreshing salad-related entity."
This relaxed view on salad-making inspired Wells to create a book full of gorgeous salads that work not only as a prelude to a meal, but a meal in and of themselves. And this week we'll be sharing a selection of these summer meal perfect salads with you including a cool Crab Salad with Lime and Avocado, a tangy Thai Beef Salad, and Raoul's Shrimp Salad, a reworked shrimp cocktail dressed with tomato juice and Tabasco.
Win 'Salad as a Meal'
Thanks to the generous folks over at William Morrow, we are giving away five (5) copies of Salad as a Meal this week.
All you have to do is tell us about your favorite meal-worthy salad in the comments section below.

TORONTO - On Hall of Fame Night, Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle reached back in history to describe a marvellous goal by Phil Kessel.
Kessel scored a beauty in regulation and James van Riemsdyk contributed the shootout decider Friday night as Toronto scored a 2-1 win over the New Jersey Devils.
Kessel's goal, which opened the scoring, came on an eye-popping solo rush as the Leafs sniper skated through two Devils in the defensive zone before beating Cory Schneider between the legs at 8:12 of the third period. Kessel's 10th goal of the season ended a Toronto scoreless stretch of almost 110 minutes.
"Those are difference-maker goals," Carlyle said of Kessel's swooping rush. "It reminded me of Frank Mahovlich — the windup, to come back inside your own (blue-)line and attack. That's old-time hockey. I mean real old-time hockey."
Asked if he knew who Mahovlich — a mega-star from another era who played for the Leafs, Red Wings and Canadiens — was, Kessel later replied: "Not really."
Of course the 26-year-old American was born six years after the Big M entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1981. Mahovlich, now 75, later moved his field of play to the Senate, an arena most Canadians ignore.
It looked like the Kessel goal might be enough until Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier, who had been excellent hitherto, seemed to misplay a shot from the right flank from Michael Ryder, with the puck angling high off the goalie's stick into the net at 15:15. Ryder got credit for his fifth of the season.
"I'm probably going to do that play a hundred times and, I don't know, if you ask me to do it again I probably wouldn't be able to," Bernier lamented.
Kessel was in the box, with 11 second left for a slashing penalty.
"Those thing happens in hockey," Carlyle said of the Bernier miscue. "There wasn't a person in the building who felt as bad as he did about giving it up. You could just see his reaction. But I thought our bench remained composed. We gathered our composure and we didn't sit back, we attacked. And we didn't stop."
Added Bernier: "We showed character. We came back and won that game. It was a great team effort."
Schneider, who also had a strong game, made a great save on Kessel on a Leafs' three-on-one in an exciting overtime. And he stopped Toronto's Mason Raymond and Kessel before van Riemsdyk's goal in the shootout. Adam Henrique then fired wide for the Devils.
Bernier stopped Ryder in the shootout while Travis Zajac had the Leafs goalie beat but hit the post.
With the victory, Toronto heads to Boston for a Saturday night showdown with the Bruins team that ousted from the playoffs last season with an unlikely Game 7 comeback.
Toronto (11-5-0) has now won five of its last seven. The Leafs were well-rested, having not played since a 4-0 loss in Vancouver last Saturday.
The Devils (4-7-5) were coming off a 3-0 win in Philadelphia on Thursday, with Martin Brodeur posting a 22-save shutout — the 122nd of his career. New Jersey had lost its two previous games, both shutouts.
"I'm disappointed we didn't capitalize on our chances," said Devils coach Peter DeBoer. "We got a bounce there at the end to get a point. We had enough chances to win the game. We didn't finish enough."
The Leafs' power play, which came into the game fifth in the league, had failed on four previous man-advantage opportunities in the game prior to the Kessel goal. And the Leafs star had been guilty of several giveaways.
The 2013 Hockey Hall of Fame Game, which drew a crowd of 19,377 that included Prime Minister Stephen Harper, featured pre-game appearances by former Devils Scott Niedermayer and Brendan Shanahan as well as Chris Chelios and Geraldine Heaney. The late Fred Shero will also be inducted as part of the class of 2013 on Monday.
With centres Tyler Bozak and Dave Bolland both injured, van Riemsdyk shifted from wing to centre Joffrey Lupul and Kessel on Toronto's top line.
Van Riemsdyk, whose last duty at centre was at the University of New Hampshire, failed to get a shot on net but his linemates combined for 12 of Toronto's 28 on the night.
At times the line overelaborated, especially with the Devils in the penalty box. But it paid dividends when it counted.
Bernier, who stopped 41 of 43 shots in Calgary last time out, had to be sharp to keep the Leafs in it as Toronto was outshot 35-28 — the 13th straight game and 14th in 16 this season that the opposition has outshot the Leafs.
Former Devil David Clarkson almost scored on the Leafs' first shot, cruising in from the slot while protecting the puck from a New Jersey defenceman. His shot got past Schneider but a Devil poked it away before it could trickle over the line.
Toronto had several glorious chances to go ahead on a power play late in the first period that started with a four-minute high-sticking penalty to New Jersey's Mattias Tedenby and turned into a 44-second five-on-three when Peter Harrold was called for tripping.
The Leafs came very close but could not take advantage.
Clarkson, meanwhile, renewed acquaintances by trading hacks with defenceman Marek Zidlicky after a stoppage.
Toronto had a sluggish start to the second period with an overly elaborate Kessel continuing to give the puck away. Bernier had to be sharp on several occasions as Toronto, after outshooting the Devils 8-7 in the first period, was outshot 15-8 in the second.
Devils forward Stephen Gionta was helped off the ice in the second period after sliding awkwardly into the boards.
Hard-nosed Toronto forward Colton Orr, who missed the morning skate in what was deemed a "maintenance morning," did not play. Instead the Leafs dressed seven defenceman with Mark Fraser returning from injury.

Twenty some odd years ago, the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Pain Society, two large pain-related professional organizations, teamed up to agree upon what it means to have both chronic pain and be addicted to opioid pain medications at the same time.1 They did it because addiction to opioid medications when patients are prescribed them for legitimate health reasons seems different than addiction to other substances like alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, or even illegally obtained opioid medications when not used for pain. The difference involves the phenomena of tolerance, physical dependence, and withdrawal, which in part serve as criteria for the diagnosis of addiction when it comes to all other substances.
The most vexing of all questions in the debate over long-term opioid management for pain is subtle, difficult to articulate, and rarely considered. It lies at the heart of whether and how we maintain patients with severe pain on long-term opioids or whether we help them learn to self-manage it instead.
This most vexing of questions involves how we understand the nature of pain severity and its relationship to its degree of tolerability in the long-term opioid management patient. For depending on how we understand the intolerability of severe pain, it leads to contradictory treatment considerations among well-meaning, competent patients and providers, and even within the larger society.
What is biofeedback?
Biofeedback is a treatment used for a variety of chronic pain and other medical conditions that consists of sensors placed on the patient's body while physiological data is viewed on a computer screen or other monitor in real time. It is considered a self-regulatory therapy because it is a tool for increasing awareness of and changing individual physiological responses to reduce symptoms or improve performance. The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), and International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) provide this standard definition:
Teaching People About Pain
Pain is a normal human experience. Without the ability to experience pain, people would not survive. Living in pain, however, is not normal.1 Pain that lasts beyond the normal healing time of tissues is called chronic or persistent pain. Worldwide, chronic pain is increasing. In the US alone, chronic pain has doubled in the last 15-20 years.2 With this increase, comes increased cost. Within Medicare, a US government-based insurance, epidural steroid (pain) injections have increased 629% in the last five years and the use of opioids (for example, hydrocodone and oxycodone) is up 423%.1 This increase is not isolated to the US and represents a global concern. In the shadow of this growing epidemic, we are faced with serious questions. Why is chronic pain increasing? Why are some of our most heroic treatments (opioids, injections, surgery, amputations, etc.) not working? The answer to these questions is complex and contains a variety of issues.
Chronic low back pain affects about 10% of the population.1 Healthcare providers consider back pain as chronic when it lasts longer than six months and when they believe it will last indefinitely.
Opioid, or narcotic, pain medications are beneficial in many ways. Patients with pain from terminal cancer benefit from their use. Patients benefit from their short-term use when recovering from an acute injury or following a painful surgical procedure. However, the long-term use of opioid medications for chronic, noncancer pain remains quite controversial.
We live in an age of chronic health conditions. Chronic pain, diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disorders, obesity, and sleep apnea are just a few of the most common chronic conditions. Many patients and healthcare providers attempt to treat these conditions by solely medical approaches. It makes sense, of course. Many, if not most, of these conditions are medical conditions. So, it makes sense to take medications and get different types of medical procedures and surgeries in order to try to get better. These medical treatments are usually worthwhile to pursue.
What is a chronic pain rehabilitation program?
Chronic pain rehabilitation programs are a traditional type of chronic pain management. They have long been used to help patients with chronic pain live a normal life. People who most benefit from chronic pain rehabilitation programs are those who have come to accept that their pain is truly chronic and cannot be cured. So, they want to learn what they can do to live a normal life despite having chronic pain.

SHE WASN'T ASKED AND DIDN'T TELL.... Amy Brian, as a Kansas Army National Guard lieutenant, served honorably in Iraq. She was part of a convoy that was hit by an IED; she worked 12-hour shifts at Camp Anaconda; and her superiors asked her to narrate award ceremonies.
By all appearances, Amy Brian is the type of proud, patriotic American we would all want to wear the uniform. Upon returning home after a tour of duty, Brian was given a job reorganizing the Kansas Army National Guard's government purchase card program. Except now she's been discharged -- because someone found out Brian is gay.
She joins nearly 12,500 other lesbian, gay and bisexual service members who have been discharged by the Pentagon from 1994 through 2007.
And in the New York Times, a Marine who served two tours in Iraq explains why he has changed his mind about DADT and now opposes it.
In addition, six years of war have clarified priorities. The battlefield has its own values, starting with courage. Sexual orientation falls somewhere below musical taste. What a person chooses to do back stateside, off-duty, in his own apartment is irrelevant in a fight. For months I lived with 12 other American advisers on an Iraqi outpost. There was a single pipe shower next to a hole that masqueraded as a sewer. But the reality of combat dominated personality quirks — nobody wondered about sexual orientation.
A 2006 poll of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans showed that 72 percent were personally comfortable interacting with gays. Bonnie Moradi, a University of Florida psychologist, and Laura Miller, a sociologist at the Rand Corporation, summarized the study this way: "The data indicated no associations between knowing a lesbian or gay unit member and ratings of perceived unit cohesion or readiness. Instead, findings pointed to the importance of leadership and instrumental quality in shaping perceptions of unit cohesion and readiness."
The other readiness argument concerns recruiting. To fill its swelling ranks, the military now grants one in five recruits waivers for disqualifications that run the gamut from attention-deficit disorder to obesity to armed robbery convictions. In a press conference last fall, Maj. Gen. Thomas Bostick, the head of Army recruiting, said the relevant question in considering such applicants was, "Does that person deserve an opportunity to serve their country?" That's exactly right. And to choose a felon over a combat-proven veteran on the basis of sexuality is defeatist. Ask any squad leader.
In the end, however, there is one factor that outweighs public opinion, troop morale and recruiting combined. The military is a dictatorship, not a republic. It is built to win in combat. Its strict codes of conduct ensure good order and discipline.
If "don't ask, don't tell" is rescinded, military leaders will ensure smooth compliance, as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, has said. Cohesion depends on leadership. Our troops will follow the lead of our combat-tested professionals who base their opinions on what a soldier brings to the fight, and little else.
So here's my proposal: reinstate the draft, expanding it to include both men and women, age 18 to 50, but restricting military service to homosexuals. Only homosexuals. No more heterosexuals in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserves. Bonus: no more inconvenient pregnancies in the all-gay Armed Forces!
Why stop at the military? Let's ban heterosexuals from the government benefits of marriage, too. Seriously, they've had it to themselves for 5,000 years and have completely fucked it up. Gay-only marriage can't possibly make it any worse, and might even improve it.
Gay-Only Adoption. No more subjecting orphans to the twisted values of so-called straights.
And I can't imagine someone barred from serving in the military, from state-sanctioned marriage, from adopting, passing an FBI background check for a federal job.
Think of the political campaigns! Spying on candidates, trying to get pictures of them embracing someone of the opposite sex, the interviews with tearful gay spouses, the denials of heterosexual perversions.
Certainly no more ridiculous than the self-defeating anti-gay idiocy we've got now.

Accordingto the Partnership for a Drug-Free America:
–1 in 5 teens has abused aprescription pain medication
–1 in 5 teens report abusingprescription stimulants and tranquilizers
–1 in 10 teens have abused coughmedication
According to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy:
Though overall teen drug use isdown nationwide, more teens abuse prescription drugs than any otherillicit drug except marijuana – more than cocaine, heroin, andmethamphetamine combined.
Every day, 2,500 kids aged12-17 abuse a prescription painkiller for the first time and more peopleare getting addicted to prescription drugs.
Drug treatment admissions forprescription painkillers increased more than 300 percent from 1995 to2005.
Teens are abusing prescriptiondrugs because many believe the myth that these drugs provide a"safe" high.
Especially troubling is thatthe majority of teens who abuse prescription drugs say they are easy toget and are often free.
At Novus; some of our patients are young people who tell us about parties that kidsas young as 11 attend. Instead of bringing a present, each child is tobring some prescription drugs that they got from their parents' medicinecabinet.
When they arrive at the party, they go into a room and pour the drugs into a punch bowl. Then the kids will take turns reaching into thebowl and taking a handful of pills. Sometimes the kids combine this with alcohol–an often lethal combination.
When confronted by astounded parents, their children often remark that it is O.K. because these are not illegal drugs– they were purchased at a pharmacy and,after all, they were in their parents' medicine cabinet. A 15-year-oldwas quoted as saying that she saw the drug advertised on television and if itwere dangerous it wouldn't be on television.
Itis not pleasant, but if you spend a few minutes on the internet you will seenot statistics but real stories of prescription drug overdoses and deaths ofteens. In many of these instances, the fatal drug overdose did notcome after long periods of prescription drug use. The fatal overdoses came the first time they took the prescription drugs. Maybe itwas their individual DNA. Maybe it was the way that the drug was metabolized. Maybe it was another substance that they had taken, like alcohol or another prescription drug. The only thing for sure is that some young people have overdosed and died after their first use.
One18 year old died after taking 40 milligrams of Oxycontin while drinking a beer. A 16 year old died after taking 80 milligrams of OxyContin that she was given by a "friend." Some of the other deceased children's parents said that they didn't believe in taking any type of drugs, but that didn't stop their children from yielding to peer pressure and "trying" the drug.
Painkillers(OxyContin and its generic form oxycodone, Lortab, Vicodin, Percodan,Percocet and the Fentanyl Patch) are the most common pharmaceuticals abused byteens, especially by younger teens. Stimulants (Ritalin, Adderall) abuse ismore common among older teens and college students than youngerteens. Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonopin) are abused byteens of all ages.
Oxies,OC, hillbilly heroin, oxycotton, 80s, percs, vikes, and vikings are commonlyused terms to refer to painkillers. Ritz, rippers, dexies, and benniesare commonly used terms to refer to stimulants. Benzos, xanies,xani-bars, xani-bombs, and roofies are commonly used terms to refer tobenzodiazepines.
Everyoneunderstands that heroin is a dangerous drug and many people die from heroinoverdoses. What parent would not be horrified if their children tookheroin? However, if your children are taking these narcotic painkillers,they are taking drugs that mimic the effects of heroin in the body.
Everyoneunderstands that cocaine is a dangerous drug. What parent wants theirchildren to use cocaine? However, many parents watch their children takeRitalin and Adderall, two heavy stimulants that are Schedule II drugs-just likecocaine. In 2006, it is estimated that three out of 10 high schoolseniors abuse prescription stimulants.
Stimulantside effects include dilated pupils, increased heart and respiratory rates,elevated blood pressure, feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and delusions,hostility and aggression, and panic, suicidal, or homicidal tendencies. Overdose or death is preceded by high fever, convulsions, and heart failurewhich may be hastened by physical activity.
Benzodiazepinescan cause dilated pupils and slurred speech, feelings of intoxication, loss ofmotor coordination, respiratory depression, sensory alteration, depression andlowered blood pressure. In younger children these side effects aremultiplied and can lead to seizures and, if not immediately addressed, death.
Sinceantidepressants (Paxil, Prozac, Effexor, Lexapro) are prescribed now foreverything from weight loss to muscle pain, they are in many medicine cabinetsand are left lying on bedside tables. As we discussed last week, there isnow evidence that these drugs are no more effective than a placebo (sugar pill)and that they are linked to 52% of the suicides by women in Sweden in2006. The FDA has ordered suicide and violence warnings placed on theantidepressant boxes if these dangerous drugs are taken by teenagers becausethese violent side effects are even more prevalent in younger people.
Thedanger to teens from all of these prescription drugs is greatly increased whenthey are combined with each other or with alcohol.
Nocaring parent would leave heroin, cocaine or other dangerous street drugs ontheir nightstand or in the medicine cabinet or just dump it in thegarbage. However, many parents do exactly this with legal heroin, legalcocaine: antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
Inour society where it seems that every bad thing must be blamed on someone elseand that someone else should pay, there is real financial and legal liabilityif these dangerous drugs are taken by teens.
Mostof us are aware that if a child obtains a loaded gun from our house and someoneis harmed, we can have both civil and criminal liability for not havingproperly locked up the weapon. We have read of people being suedand losing their homes and most of their assets because of the use of the unsecured weapon. We have also seen people who have actually been prosecuted fortheir negligence of leaving a loaded gun around and were sent to prison.
Prescriptiondrugs are highly regulated. They can only be obtained if a doctor writesa prescription. They carry many serious warnings. Every day thereare more stories about prescription drug abuse, the dangers of prescription drugs and the deaths caused by prescription drugs.
Ifyour son or daughter were to give another child these prescription drugs andthey were to overdose and die, it is highly likely that a civil suit againstyou for negligence will result in your having to pay damages.
Thereis also a chance that you could face criminal prosecution for your leavingdangerous drugs around that could lead to the death of another.
Maybeyour child is an entrepreneur and does not take the prescription drugs that heor she gets from your medicine cabinet or bed side table but instead sells them to others. Possession of controlled substances with intent to sell is acrime. The painkillers are mostly Schedule II drugs. Ritalin andAdderall are Schedule II drugs. Most benzodiazepines areSchedule IV drugs.
Accordingto the Federal Bureau of Investigation's report "Crime in the United States", there were 143,639 juveniles arrested by state and local law enforcement agencies for drug abuse violations during 2006, representing 10.4% of the drugarrests in which the offender's age was reported.
Ifyour child is caught in possession of any amount of painkillers or stimulantshere are the federal guidelines:
First Offense: Not more than 20 years. If death or serious injury, not less than 20 years, or more than life. Fine $1 million.
Second Offense: Not more than 30 years. Ifdeath or serious injury, not less than life. Fine $2 million.
If your child is caught with benzodiazepines, here are the federal guidelines:
First Offense: Not more than 3 years. Fine not more than $250,000.
Second Offense: Not more than6 years. Fine not more than $500,000.
Obviously,if your child is treated as a minor the guidelines can be different, but it isstill drug trafficking. By leaving prescription drugs around and bynot educating our kids about the dangers of prescription drugs, they risk notonly serious injury or death but also prison.
Art Linkletter hosted a television show for a number of years entitled, "Kids Say the Darndest Things." He would tape kids responding to various things and it was quite humorous. Well, kids still say the darndest things but sometimes what they say is not so humorous.
Forexample, "But Mommy you take them." Or, "But Daddy itisn't like I am taking heroin or something." Or, "But we onlytook two." Or, "But they are legal aren't they." Or,"But a doctor wouldn't give something dangerous." Or,"But I saw all the good things it can do on television. If it were bad
they wouldn't let it be advertised."
However, some parents have heard this: "I'm sorry. We couldn't save her." Or, "The different prescription drugs he took caused him to have a seizure and we couldn't revive him." Or, "I know that she only took one OxyContin. I'm sorry for your loss."
Please help educate our children to the dangers of these prescription drugs. Please help us keep more parents from hearing that their child could not berevived.
Representatives of Novus Medical Detox Center are speaking at churches, schools, service groups and other venues to educate children andtheir parents. Larry Golbom at prescription addiction radio.com is educating his listeners. But compared to the tens of billions of dollars spent by the drug companies, making prescription drugs seem the answer to any problems, it is going to take a real grass roots movement to make peopleaware of the problem and solutions to it.
Please pass this article on to your friends and neighbors. The life you save maybe your child's.

The 2012 Conference Board CEO Challenge®— Voices from the Front Lines
In this new series of webcasts, we'll hear from corporate practitioners on the front lines of addressing the top-ranked challenges. Executives from across the enterprise will join lively discussions of what they believe will be the most critical strategies for meeting these challenges.
Asia is the only global region that ranked sustainability as a top-five challenge. With the public's perception about the quality of life and environmental issues changing, CEOs are looking to community outreach, formalized reporting, and branding processes to meet the challenge. In much of the world, the sustainability agenda is driven by governments. The elements of sustainability include corporate citizenship, environmental sustainability, and having a "green business." CEOs have also recognized that sustainability needs to be incorporated in company values and cascaded down into the ranks.
Audience: Chief Financial Officers, VPs of sustainability, executives in charge of environmental and health safety, and anyone seeking to manage issues of corporate citizenship and sustainability effectively.

Labex CAP Immersion Grants
About the Immersion Program
The PRES héSam Laboratory of Excellence "Creation, Arts and Heritage" (Labex CAP) is pleased to announce the "Immersion" competitive grants.
The "Immersion" program is an original approach with a dual aim: on one hand, it contributes to training through the professional insertion of doctoral and/or master's students registered in an institution of higher education that is a member of the Labex CAP. On the other hand, it provides support for research programs (research for the preparation of an exhibition, work on exhibits, collections, archives etc.) of the six partners of the Labex CAP relating to culture (BnF, musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Centre Pompidou, Musée Arts décoratifs, Musée Arts et Métiers, Sèvres – cité de la céramique).
Students benefit from acquiring real professional experience with a heritage or museum organization; inversely, the museums and the National Library of France (BnF) explore, through research, how to set up their program and/or enhance their collections. Artists in residence working on research projects can be considered in the framework of the "Immersion" program.

Nintendo's promotional stunt for Super Mario 3D Land turned part of Times Square into a version of the Mushroom Kingdom. That brought out paid and unpaid people decked out in Mario gear. Plus a massive Bullet Bill.
We already ran video of this amazing PR stunt, but the shots photographer Rob Boudon snapped at the event were too good not to share. Here are four of them. Check his Flickr photo stream for the rest. Good work, Rob!

A common misunderstanding people have about public pools such as those at theme parks, hotels and public pools in Louisville, KY is that by simply posting a "No Lifeguard On Duty" or "Swim At Your Own Risk" sign, the facility or company is absolved of any liability when an accident or even a drowing happens. This is often NOT the case which is why it's critical that you speak to an attorney who's experienced in handling these types of cases if your family experienced tragedy at one of these places in Louisville, KY
The J. Reyna Law Firm will listen to your story and examine the details surrounding the accident to determine if you have a case.
Most people do not understand their legal rights, or the limits on hotel liability, when they take a vacation or spend a weekend away at a hotel. This puts the hotel at a major advantage in situations in which you are injured in an accident.
While the property manager may have dealt with situations like this before and will have an insurance company and legal team at the ready, as the guest, you may not know what to expect. Trying to handle the situation on your own could jeopardize your claim and minimize your recovery. That's where a personal injury lawyer in Louisville, KY comes in.
Hotels and resort properties are responsible for maintaining reasonably safe locations. When a guest is hurt due to the neglect of the hotel's employees or the hotel itself, the hotel could be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit or claim.
In order to illustrate that a hotel was liable for injuries that happened on the premises, it is essential to illustrate that the hotel was negligent. This means establishing that the hotel breached the duty owed to the individual who was injured on the premises and that this breach of duty led to an injury.
Average Number Of Drownings Per Year in the USA
1 out of 5 who die in pool accidents are children
Of drowning victims need to be treated in emergency departments
Age of children with highest drowning rate

There is a general responsibility for hotels to use reasonable care in operating their businesses and protecting guests. Hotel guests may be referred to as an invitee via premises liability law, meaning that such an individual is entitled legally to a strong degree of protection. A hotel should take the steps to maintain and inspect the premises to keep all areas in a reasonably safe condition. Any sudden and emerging problem should be notified with signs and addressed as quickly as possible. Hotel responsibilities and duties for guests typically include:
When a hotel does not inspect their premises or keep the premises reasonably safe, they have breached their duty to guests and this could form the bases of a personal injury claim filed on the part of a victim. Hotels and resorts do have a liability as it relates to injuries that occur on the premises and in situations in which an injury occurs in a pool. It is important for all hotel and resort owners to be aware of the potential risks and to take all necessary steps to minimize these risks, such as consulting with an experienced swimming pool accident attorney in Louisville, KY.

Jealous of our Fiesta Movement and outraged at our frequent anti-Canada jokes, north-of-the-border auto site AutoNorth plans to invade the US in a Nissan Cube like its 1812.
Similar to the Fiesta Movement, the Canadians are having a "Hypercube" contest to win a 2009 Nissan Cube, and AN has thrown down the gauntlet:
Some of you folks that follow AutoNorth (and thanks for doing so) might also read a little blog down in the lower 48 called Jalopnik. One of their regular contributors, Diddles McGee, seems to have gotten on Scott Monty's bad side and will be burdened with a German-built Ford Fiesta.
The Germans, up to their eyeballs in Warsteiner and sauerkraut, figured they would take some delight in cobbling together a hundred Ford Fiestas. The quality of the cars was too sub par to sell them in the Old World, so they figured they would dump them in the States and see what would happen. Voila! Fiesta Movement!
Congrats, Andrew! You finally have a car that no American will ever ask you the keys for, so long as gas stays at $2/gallon.
But, in Canada, we are one-upping the Fiesta Movement. Actually, we are blowing it away. As we mentioned a few times before, AutoNorth has put their name in the hat for a chance to receive a Nissan Cube with the hypercube contest, where 50 creative and talented Canadians get the chance to go home with a brand new car. And guess what, Mini Ray? We'll get to keep it!
This. Means. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
