From Luke, she learns her husband hid a secret life, one with ramifications that will change her own.
Sarah's family, concerned for her and the future of her twins, encourages her to marry again. It should make sense … but Sarah's heart says no. She feels trapped. Should she marry a man she doesn't love? Or discover if her growing interest in Luke can be trusted?

-- the biggest weaknesses has been state and local governments which have laid off 450000.
Americans congress should pass.
A bill putting them back to work right now giving help to the states.
The battle is heating up between President Obama presidential candidate Mitt Romney -- as saying here.
It is all about the money how that -- differ on economics and what their plans are.
Is -- always so easy to understand -- a break it all down for you today joining me now is Tammy frisbee she is.
Romney campaign and a professor at Stanford University thank you so much for joining us.
Pleasure to be here today.
I -- -- the planet I am looking at some of the basic outlines of the Romney plan and it starts with a cap on federal spending.
At 20% of GDP what is not achieved.
What achieves is bringing us back down to our historical norm.
There's a lot of talk out there that this is some sort of severe austerity program from the Romney campaign.
When in fact if you look at the data and here's where the data really matters between 1996.
And 2007.
Government spending as a percent of GDP was at 20% or below so it's not like -- cutting back to some time where we can't have programs that we have had at some point in the past this is again going back to the historical norm and returning to sustainable spending levels.
Okay point number -- he wants to drop all tax rates by 20%.
-- including the top rate -- -- from 35 to 28 that's pretty much the opposite of what President Obama wants to -- he wants to take the top tax rate from 25.
To 39 point 5% -- the economic impact of taxing the wealthy more doesn't just generate more revenue.
Where the government we need that in order close the deficit.
When you're talking about tax reform.
Important to make a distinction between raising marginal tax rates are cutting marginal tax rates and cutting revenue.
Because we know from historical precedent from previous tax reforms that you can reduce marginal tax rates even among the highest earners.
And you can even maintain or grow your tax revenue say if your point is that you want to be able to maintain spending on priority programs that.
Isn't necessarily taken away by reducing marginal tax rates in fact you can get more funding for those critical programs.
And I would also point down.
They you have to think of these high earners not just as individuals not just as Warren Buffett although.
Obama has tried to use him as his poster child but this is about small businesses.
One half of all workers in America are employed by businesses that file -- the individual tax code who would be affected and and benefit.
From these tax rate reductions that -- -- unique candidate Ronnie is proposing.
You talk about the benefit to small business aren't we just -- -- -- up on the screen that showed that Mitt Romney himself would benefit and play you pay us taxes about five million last.
Underneath his own tax plan.
Under -- new tax plan -- and this -- been a big point in the media recently that he would be cutting his own taxes.
Do you think that's what this is all about.
When you think about cutting marginal tax rates.
You have to think.
Again not just about the rate.
But what you're gonna reduce the entire tax system and what governor Romney is proposing is an overhaul of the tax system.
That would involve flatter rates so lower rates.
But also a fairer flatter broader tax base so you can have lower rates but any individual bank is not necessarily.
-- just getting that particular reduction we have to think about this as a package and that's something that's easily lost in this but -- governor Romney.
And his advisors have -- in mind moving forward.
He's also talking about cutting the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% and I guess one question that people always ask is what is it that Mitt Romney could do today to create more jobs give me something concrete.
That his economic plan would do to put people back to work.
While cutting the corporate tax rate would be day one way that he could.
That create jobs in America and also moving too -- -- territorial corporate tax system from the worldwide tax system there's bipartisan agreement on this point.
And governor Romney is proposing that he will bring -- leadership that will both make America's corporate tax rate competitive with the rest of the world.
On both the rate itself and on its territory out in moving -- this worldwide taxation system to a territorial tax system okay see you just saw on the screen.
Capping federal spending at 40% of GDP cutting the tax rate cutting the corporate tax rate.
That's the basics of the plan Tammy thanks so much for joining me in -- all that out for us.
Pleasure to be.

Violent media not a predictor of violent behaviour according to university study
According to a recent study published from Texas A&M International University, watching violent media as a child is not necessarily a predictor of violent behaviour in the future. The study outlines that genetics and social environment have a larger impact on personal development.

If you were a key cog at the studio producing, eh, notoriously violent titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, would you be embarrassed to the explain to the "normies" in your life what you do? Jeremy Pope was, and that's why he left Rockstar Games a decade ago and is pursuing projects that he sees as more palatable to him.

ASA attempts to curtail violence in UK game advertisements
According to MCV, violent videogame ads are about to get a stern talking-to from the Advertising Standards Agency.
Apparently, the ASA will release new guidance for publishers and their ad agencies next week, which will ask them to consider the "wider context" of violent ads.
This is not to say, however, that gore, giblets, and F-bombs litter UK game ads — far from it. The ASA says less than one percent of game ads in the last 12 months were so gratuitously violent that they had to be pulled.
As such, the new guidelines are meant to stop future problems from ever sparking into a flame, and encourage publishers to go beyond simply satisfying regulatory rules.

Germany moves to ban the distribution and production of violent videogames
Germany's 16 Interior Ministers asked the Bundestag to ban production and distribution of violent video games in the country, and are hoping the new sanction goes into effect before elections take place on September 27.
The ban comes on the heels of the recent school shootings that have occurred in the country, most notably the Winnenden shooting on March 11.
If passed, not only would German consumers not be able to purchase the games at retail, but German developers like Crytek would be required by law to outsource development of any game the law deems violent.
Or move its headquarters to another country.

Games "nomalize" (sic) killing, says report
According to this, a recent study at the Indiana School of Medicine has shown that, "Exposure to violent video games, even E [Everyone - Ed] rated video games, increases aggressive thoughts, increases pro-social behavior and increases general arousal," said Dr Greg Snyder, a psychologist at Omaha's Children's Hospital.
The study compared brain scan of a teenager who has just played what was deemed a nonviolent video game to the scan of a teen who had just spent 30 minutes playing a violent game.
"The more normal [violence] is, the more likely it is they're going to activate or engage in those behaviors when provoked or even unprovoked," Snyder added.
Ryan Miller, the manager of general operations for Gamers in Omaha, countered, said video games become an easy scapegoat when children turn violent.
"Just like any new media, it gets attacked. When any new genre of music comes out, it gets attacked. TV will, of course, get attacked. I'm sure, way back when, books got attacked," he said.
Lots more through that link. We'll post some more news, right after we get back from killing some people.

Games hit UK frontpages as evidence mounts over impending political "clampdown"
Following this week's news that wary glances are being cast behind the scenes of Tanja Byron's upcoming report, British national daily The Guardian is this morning carrying, "Ministers plan clampdown on 'unsuitable' video games" as its main headline.
The story mirrors earlier reports this week in that it claims the Byron Report is to recommend a legal classification system for all games, but goes into further detail about plans to advise parents to not allow children to play games in their bedrooms and to only let them use computers and games consoles in places where the screens are clearly visible.
According to the piece, "A legally enforceable, cinema-style classification system is to be introduced for video games in an effort to keep children from playing damaging games unsuitable for their age… Under the proposals it would be illegal for shops to sell classified games to a child below the recommended age.
"At present only games showing sex or 'gross' violence to humans or animals require age limits. That leaves up to 90% of games on the market, many of which portray weapons, martial arts and extreme combat, free from statutory labelling.
Ministers are expected to advise parent to keep computers and games consoles away from children's bedrooms as much as possible, and ask them to play games in living rooms or kitchens facing outwards so carers can see what is being played."
The report doesn't mention the BBFC as being the body to handle a new classification system, instead leading with a strap of, "New rating scheme devised." Currently, only a handful of games are classified by the BBFC, with most in the UK carrying the voluntary PEGI rating.
The Byron Report, due next month, includes a lengthy review of studies into the effects of games on children, and has been discussed with the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Ministers are now said to have a "sense of the report's direction", said the Guardian's piece, on which the article is based.

Trial by Water
NASA tests the seaworthiness of its new moonship.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, April 27, 2009
NASA plans to return to the moon by 2020, and the Orion crew exploration vehicle is scheduled to fly its first missions to the International Space Station as early as 2014. But before that can happen, recovery teams need to know how to rescue the astronauts and retrieve the capsule after a splashdown in the ocean.
Last year, NASA contacted the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, in Bethesda, Maryland, about testing models of the Orion crew capsule—which has an interior volume nearly twice that of Apollo's—in order to help recovery teams become familiar with the capsule's performance.
Click on the photo gallery to see how the Orion models have been tested in tanks, "wave ponds," and—most recently—in the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean during two weeks of tests conducted in April 2009 (pictured).
"What we're looking to take away from our...testing," says Todd Carrico, a naval architect at Carderock and lead test engineer on the project, "is to nail down the sea-keeping performance of this capsule in certain sea states. Of course, the divers are looking to give a thumbs up and say, 'Hey, we can actually recover this thing.' "

With Pan Am premiering tonight on ABC, a TV show about what it was like to be a stewardess circa the early 1960s, I figured what better time than now to discuss how to flirt on an airplane. Meeting a man on an airplane isn't quite as easy as it seems. As I am sure that many of you are not aware, there is a lot of prepping and planning that must take place in order for the matchmaking process to go smoothly. Some girls just assume that it's merely luck that brings two people together on a plane. But trust Dean. There's a lot more to it than just luck. If you want to meet a man on a plane, you can't just sit back and enjoy the flight. Unfortunately, you have to experience at least a little bit of turbulence in order to find love in the air.
In order to find a match on a plane, the first thing that you must do is prep work. Now when I say "prep" I am not just talking about making sure your hair is blown out, your nails are freshly manicured, and your face is flawlessly made-up. All of that prep work goes without saying. What Dean is talking about here is the act of scoping out your potential airplane partner before even stepping foot onto the plane.
Take a seat in the boarding area and begin to search for any potential dating prospects. During this "prep" phase, it is important that you determine who your target man is going to be while in flight. Things to keep in mind while scoping out the boarding area: you want to select a man who is sitting alone in the airport and preferably someone who is not wearing a wedding band. Also, if a man is seated alone in the airport but has a piece of girlish-looking luggage near him, assume that he is taken. His girlfriend (or wife) is most likely in the ladies room.
Once you have selected your target man, the next crucial step is to get noticed by him. (Again, you want to do this while you are still in the airport and before you board your flight.) A great way to get noticed is to stand directly in front of him and do something flashy that will undeniably make him aware of your presence.
Last Sunday, while I was at LAX, I targeted a very handsome, dark-haired man who was seated alone in the boarding area working on his iPad. I walked over toward his direction and stood directly in front of him, pretending to be completely occupied by my iPhone. And just like clockwork, within seconds of me positioning myself in front of him, an obese man who was exiting the aircraft knocked me over onto the ground. As I fell to the ground, nearly having the wind knocked out of me, my target man immediately jumped out of his seat to assist me.
"Are you okay?" My target man asked looking as though he was trying not to laugh.
"Yes. I am fine." I said, wanting to feel embarrassed but instead feeling extremely pleased with myself that my plan was working so well.
"Well that guy certainly knocked you down hard!" He said.
"He sure did." I said. "But I'm sure I'll survive the blow." I then walked back to my seat in the airport feeling both optimistic and proud of my bold effort to get noticed.
As you can see, Dean obviously put her life at risk by getting in the path of a very large man. (Note: Dean does not recommend this strategy for all girls. This act is only recommended for girls who are experienced daters. As you know, Dean is a non-certified dating advice expert. Her unparalleled dating skills enable her to perform impressive acts such as this.)
If you are not an experienced dater, have no fear. There are equally good ways to get noticed in an airport that are not as risky as getting plowed down by a fat man. You can always drop your book on the ground, talk loudly on your cell phone, or simply ask your target man to watch your bags for you as you step away to stare at him from another part of the room. Remember, if you are not a dating expert, use the flirting techniques that you feel most comfortable with.
Boarding the Aircraft
Now it's time to board your flight. In this phase, it is crucial that you board the plane before your target man does. Boarding before him allows for you to watch your target man while he boards the flight which ultimately buys you time. There are a number of things that you can do to make your presence known to him once he arrives on the plane. You can offer to help him with his luggage, simply smile at him as he passes you by, or put your foot in the aisle as he is walking by and gently trip him. All of these tips are great ways to initiate a conversation between you and your target man.
Last week, I made sure to board the flight before my dark-haired target man. My carry-on bag was already securely placed below the seat in front of me and my seatbelt was already fastened by the time my target man approached my row.
"Hey! You're the girl that got knocked over in the airport!" My target man said to me as he lifted his suitcase into the overhead bin above my seat.
"And you're the guy who saw me get knocked over!" I said. Feeling quite proud that my plan had been so effective.
He laughed as he took the seat next to me. And I knew right away that the friendly skies were about to get a whole lot more friendly…
Cleared for Take Off
Now it's time for the plane to take off. And by this time you should have already had at least one conversation with your target man (if not more). A great way to keep the conversation going strong is to immediately pull out the "Sky Mall Magazine" (which is located in the seat pocket in front of you). Before the plane even begins to lift off the ground, start to casually skim through the pages of the magazine. Dean guarantees that he will most definitely take notice, especially when you land on a page with interesting electronics! (Note: All boys love technology and gadgets.) In no time, you'll soon see that the two of you will begin flipping through the pages of the magazine together, joking back and forth about the items that you would buy for one another. This is a sure way to keep the relationship going strong before the plane ever reaches its cruising altitude.
You Are Now Free to Roam About the Cabin
The seatbelt sign has been turned off and you are now free to roam about the cabin. But at this point, why would you want to? Do you really want to get up and "roam" while your perfect match is seated next to you? I think not! You've already discussed meeting his parents, attending a destination wedding with him as his date, and buying for him that awesome giraffe toilet paper holder from Sky Mall Magazine. So what's next?
Beverages are served, of course! When the flight attendant comes around to take your order, make sure that your target man orders his beverage first. Then, repeat what he says VERBATIM. This will make him believe that you both have so much in common. (Note: Boys like to believe in fate. And the mere fact that both you and him share the same taste in drinks, will solidify once and for all his budding feelings toward you.) Even if he orders a drink that you don't like (such as tomato juice on the rocks) make sure to still order what he's having.
Prepare for Landing
The plane is beginning to descend toward its final destination and you've just downed a disgusting drink. Although you desperately want to reach for that barf bag (which is also located in the seat pocket in front of you), don't do it. (Note: Boys don't like girls who puke on planes.) Instead, reach for your purse and pull out your business card. You want to make sure to properly exchange your contact information before the plane touches down on the tarmac. If you haven't done so already, now is the time to find out where he works, if he's on Facebook, and most importantly how's he plans to get home from the airport. Keep in mind that exiting the aircraft can sometimes be chaotic (as items may have shifted during flight). Exchanging your contact information while still in flight ensures that your information will not get lost in all of the chaos.
Exiting the Aircraft
There are four exits on your aircraft; two in the front and two in the rear. Make sure that you exit the aircraft out of the same door that your target man has exited, as you do not want to get separated from your new love interest before you've had a chance to properly say your good-byes.
Baggage Claim
As you walk toward the baggage claim together (hopefully hand-in-hand) mentally prepare yourself for your good-bye with your target man. If there was something that you wanted to say to him while you were in-flight but never got a chance to say, say it now! This is your final time to make a lasting impression on him.
Last week, I hugged my target man/now plane partner good-bye and told him to watch out in the mail for that giraffe toilet paper holder that I would be sending him. And he told me that he couldn't wait to fly with me to Australia.
This was clearly a match made in….the friendly skies.
As I drove home from the airport that night I couldn't help but to think that I not only earned my wings on that flight but I also scored myself a boyfriend. And living the high life is something that Dean recommends to all single women.
So next time you board a plane, make sure that you are well-prepared. Print your boarding pass before you get to the airport, don't take any liquids onto the plane that are more than 3-ounces, and most-importantly, when you spot your target man in the airport, remember to keep your head above the clouds.

Some of the world's most troubled nations, including Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe and Iraq, are to take part in the prestigious Venice Biennale art exhibition.
Twelve extra countries have national pavilions in the Italian city this year, either for the first time or following a long period of absence, bringing the total to a record 89.
The Biennale, which takes place every two years, was founded in 1895 and celebrates contemporary art from around the world. National pavilions showcasing the work of artists from each country were originally built in the Giardini (public gardens) and have since spread to locations across the city.
Haiti, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia are among nations that have pavilions for the first time in 2011, while the Democratic Republic of Congo makes its first appearance since 1968, India joins after a gap of 29 years and Zimbabwe and Iraq join after a gap of 21 years. Other rejoining countries include Costa Rica and Cuba, which have not had individual pavilions for more than 15 years.
"We have increased the number of pavilions from 77 to 89, with some very interesting results," said Paolo Baratta, Venice Biennale president. "For instance, we now cover almost 100% of South America. We have Bangladesh for the first time, and Saudi Arabia, and I'm particularly happy with the presence of Haiti."
Baratta said the presence of South American countries had been boosted by the Italo-Latin American Institute, which has a large exhibition space in Venice it has used to host work from smaller countries.
The Haiti exhibition takes "Death and Fertility" as its theme, suggesting the country's ability to regenerate itself after tragedy. It includes Jean Herard Celeur's "The Horsemen of the Apocalypse," which features human skulls on metal skeletons sporting enormous phalluses.
The exhibition is housed in an outdoor, temporary structure made from sea freight containers — a reminder of the fact that the artists involved in the project come from a very poor district of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital.
Zimbabwe's pavilion is the result of a joint drive by the country's culture ministry, the National Gallery in Harare and the British Council, and marks the first time an individual country in sub-Saharan Africa has had official representation at Venice.
Raphael Chikukwa, curator of the pavilion, said it was "pivotal" in establishing a platform for artists after the isolation caused by the country's political situation. "Zimbabwe has been a zone of silence with little access to platforms of exchange through which it can communicate," Chikukwa said. Misheck Masamvu's painting "Deferred Dreams" seems to capture this sentiment, with a nightmarish depiction of a person asleep under a blanket with a creeping growth of blood-red vines.
Meanwhile the number of Arab countries with an official presence at Venice has been growing steadily in recent years. "Arab countries were very rare 20 years ago — we had only Egypt," said Vittorio Urbani, co-commissioner of the Iraq pavilion. "Now we have Syria, UAE, Saudi Arabia — and we had Lebanon until this year. "These countries like to show they belong to the international arena," he added. "Think of Iran — they're not expected to be in favor of the West, but they come to Venice."
Iraq's pavilion includes artists such as Ahmed Alsoudani and Halim al Karim, who grew up experiencing the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, economic sanctions and subsequent artistic isolation. "The exhibition means they can bring to an international audience cultural themes, not always scenes of bombs, suicide attacks and Saddam Hussein — all the stuff related to Iraq," said Urbani.
Bangladeshi artist Tayeba Begum Lipi, who is exhibiting in and co-commissioned her national pavilion, is motivated by a similar desire. "People are always getting bad news about Bangladesh, hearing about it being a poor country," she said. "I think this will make them see us in a new light."
Lipi's work includes a series of bras made from razor blades and a two-channel video called "I Wed Myself," in which the artist appears as both bride and groom. Contemporary, political art like hers struggles to find a market in her home country — another reason why she wants to be at Venice.
"Local collectors only want to buy paintings, not things that are a bit more experimental," she said. "But the pavilion is creating a real buzz. It's really a great opportunity to be here — I don't know why we didn't come all these years."
Funding is one of the main reasons that countries such as Bangladesh have not been here in previous years. "There were huge financial difficulties for Bangladesh — the organization and finding of funding was a humongous job," said Fiona Biggiero, Lipi's co-commissioner. "The government (of Bangladesh) have embraced it, but not on a financial level. The funding came from different parts."
Yet the payback for the artists will be immense. "You become a world player once you've done a Venice Biennale," said Biggiero. "It is still the most prestigious art platform there is. All the art world comes here — it completely changes the value of your work and how you're perceived."
Elsewhere, crowds are being wowed by an upturned tank that's been turned into a treadmill outside the U.S. pavilion. The work, by partners Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, is another example of the blend of art and politics on show this year at the event that's often referred to as the "Olympics" of the art world.

Black Sheep Squadron
Black Sheep Squadron is the 2-hour pilot film for the TV adventure series Baa Baa Black Sheep. Robert Conrad stars as real-life World War II ace Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. Ever at odds with his superiors, the highly decorated Boyington quits the Flying Tigers, finagles a major's commission, and organizes his own squadron of misfits and screw-ups, which he dubs the Black Sheep Squadron. In true buck-the-establishment fashion, Pappy's boys prove to be better and braver pilots than practically anyone else in the whole durned Marine Corps. Among the Black Sheep are such personable young performers as James Whitmore Jr., Dirk Blocker (son of Dan Blocker) and John Larroquette. Originally titled Baa Baa Black Sheep when it first aired on September 21, 1976, Black Sheep Squadron was later syndicated as Flying Misfits. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bonanza: The Return
None of the original cast members of the long-running (1959-73) TV western series Bonanza are on hand for the 1993 TV movie Bonanza: The Return. However, Michael Landon Jr., son of the series' "Little Joe," shows up as Joe's son Benj Cartwright; and Dirk Blocker, son of Dan "Hoss" Blocker, has a supporting role as a journalist. One of the Cartwrights in this film is a woman. Her name is Sara Cartwright, and she's portrayed by Emily Warfield. Set in 1905, the descendants of the original Ponderosa bunch take on an evil strip-mining tycoon, played by Dean Stockwell. A well-directed climax aboard a speeding train caps this enjoyable "retro" film. When it was first telecast on November 28, 1993, Bonanza: The Return was preceded by a nostalgic one-hour special devoted to the old series, Back to Bonanza. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Born to Race
This cliché-ridden car-racing feature doesn't even get off the blocks. The unshaven villains have greasy hair and black T-shirts, while the clean-shaven good guys are blonde and sport light-colored action wear. Andrea (Marla Heasley) invents a revolutionary new car engine and goes to the Charlotte Motor Speedway to try it out. She meets driver Al Pagura (Joseph Bottoms), and the two fall in and out of love. George Kennedy plays the heavy, and somewhere an underdeveloped plot about racetrack corruption appears. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Based on the exploits of real-life 1830s frontiersman James Bridger, this TV movie was supposed to have graduated to a weekly series, but the fates were against it. James Wainwright plays the title role with Gary Cooper-like stoicism. John Anderson guest stars as President Andrew Jackson, who orders Bridger to blaze a trail from Wyoming to California. The film is extremely disorganized, suggesting that it was cobbled together from several shorter Bridger episodes. Moreover, the film was rather choppily pared down from 100 minutes to 78. When Bridger rescues Sally Field from bandits, we don't even know who her character is or why the hero is so interested in her plight. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This reject from slasher-movie remedial school -- featuring copious amounts of teen sex and the usual unimaginative gore murders -- involves the return of a problem teen (Donovan Leitch) to high school after his release from an institution. After essentially pinning the "Red Herring" sign on the main character, the filmmakers then pander what passes for suspense as Leitch's classmates head for that big D-hall in the sky. Not even a supporting performance by then-unknown Brad Pitt managed to rescue this lackluster thriller, which arrived far too late in the game to appeal to the teen-horror crowd -- an audience which by then had already migrated from Halloween clones and Friday the 13th sequels to Freddy Krueger territory after Wes Craven's crafty A Nightmare on Elm Street. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Desperado was the first of several made-for-TV movies revolving around the exploits of itinerant cowboy Duell McCall (Alex McArthur). This time around, McCall finds himself in the middle of a deadly feud in a small mining town. As the only honest man in the territory (comparatively speaking), our hero is ripe for a double-cross. Framed for the murder of Sheriff Whaley (Robert Vaughn), McCall is forced to wander the wild frontier in search of the one man who can clear him. Written by Elmore Leonard, this sagebrush Fugitive first aired April 27, 1987. Designed as the pilot for a weekly series, Desperado instead spawned a cluster of feature-length sequels, produced between 1987 and 1989. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

ER: Abby Road
Maura Tierney graduates from recurring actor to series regular in the role of OB nurse Abby Lockhart, who begins her first ER rotation during an outbreak of the flu. Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) is less than enthused when her highly judgmental mother breezes into town. Benton (Eriq La Salle) and Romano (Paul McCrane) verbally duke it out over a tricky case. Carter (Noah Wyle) tries to aid a youngster afflicted with muscular dystrophy. And the evening yields two cases of illegal injections: One by the mother of a patient, the other by a patient himself. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Alan Rudolph wrote and directed this typically off-beat drama. A brief romantic liaison between a wealthy European and an American ballet dancer results in a pair of identical twins, who are separated and raised by others shortly after birth. Henry (Matthew Modine) was adopted by Pete (M. Emmet Walsh), an auto mechanic, and Henry grows up to follow in his Pete's footsteps. Emotionally fragile, Henry is in a relationship with Beverly (Lara Flynn Boyle), a rich but painfully shy woman who is terrified by sex. Henry, however, finds his own sexual appetite increasing, and he becomes involved with Rosie (Marisa Tomei), a prostitute living in his neighborhood. Meanwhile, Henry's brother, Freddy (also played by Matthew Modine), lives in the same city, though they've never met. Freddy is a gangster and hired killer working for crime kingpin Mr. Paris (Fred Ward). While Freddy is cool and confident on the surface, deep down he hates his job and tells his wife, Sharon (Lori Singer), that he wishes he had enough money to quit and move away. As fate would have it, Freddy and Henry's mother, who sank into a severe depression after losing her children and her lover, has died, leaving a substantial fortune to her two sons, who must now meet in order to collect their inheritance. Equinox premiered at the 1992 Seattle Film Festival, though it would not open theatrically until a year later. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hunter: Dead on Target, Part 1
In the first episode of a two-part story, Hunter (Fred Dryer) suspects that his Vietnam war buddy Randall Fain (introduced in the previous season's episode "Jade Woman") did not commit suicide as has been reported. Despite Fain's guilt over a tragic wartime blunder which had nearly wiped out his unit, Hunt is certain that the man was murdered, and that the motive was a fortune in stolen emeralds. The key to solving the case may be in the hands of Fain's Oriental mail-order bride Rose--who since returning to prostitution has completely dropped out of sight. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Unfortunately, the girl has been kidnapped by minions of the drug-smuggling ring with which she is peripherally involved. The case takes a unexpected twist when the crooked marriage broker who brought Rose to America is murdered--leaving Hunter with nary a lead to work with! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dolan wants Dobbs to tail her abusive boyfriend, Rick (Neil Young). Dobbs immediately demonstrates his uncanny powers of detection by trailing the wrong man (Ted Levine), whose story turns out to be far more fascinating than Rick's. Meanwhile, Dobbs is himself pursued by female P.I. Stella Wynkowski (Elizabeth Perkins), which hardly pleases Dobbs' jealous girlfriend, Doris (Ann Magnuson). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Made in Heaven
Alan Rudolph directed this offbeat, boy-meets-girl romance in which boy dies, dead boy meets dead girl, dead boy loses dead girl, and dead boy tries to find dead girl again. The tale begins is a small Pennsylvania town, where Mike Shea (Timothy Hutton) dreams of escaping small town life and moving to California with his girlfriend Brenda (Mare Winningham). But Brenda leaves him with his motor running and Mike takes off alone. On the way, he rescues a woman and her children from an icy river but perishes himself. He finds himself in Heaven, where he is greeted by Aunt Lisa (Maureen Stapleton), who explains the rules and regulations. Once in the ethereal realm, Mike falls in love with a heavenly lass with flaxen locks named Annie (Kelly McGillis). But their love is torn asunder because Annie has not yet earned her wings on Earth; she must leave on a tour of duty and put in time inhabiting a human body. Mike is beside himself in despair, but the heavenly powers, in the form of Emmett (Debra Winger), chain-smoking and sporting an orange crewcut like a ghostly Laurie Anderson, offer him a deal. Mike can return to Earth, but only on the stipulation that neither he nor Annie will remember each other. They then have thirty years in which to find one another again. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

McBride: The Chameleon Murder
This Hallmark Channel TV movie is one of a series starring John Larroquette as McBride (no first name), a hard-nosed cop turned compassionate defense lawyer, specializing in "lost causes." McBride's client this time is a hitchhiker named Dudley Banks (Devon Gummesall), who had the rotten luck to accept a ride from a beautiful, affluent-looking woman calling herself Whitney (Maeve Quinlan), just before she is found murdered. As he digs into Whitney's past, he finds that there are several men who had good reason to wish her dead--especially the several husbands she accumulated (and robbed blind) while adopting a plethora of false identities! McBride: The Chameleon Murder originally aired January 14, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The crux of this limited, juvenile comedy is a complex game that begins at midnight and ends by morning. Of main interest is the fact that a young Michael J. Fox plays one of the students involved in the game. Leon (Alan Solomon) has spent a year creating the game and practically needs that long to convince his fellow students to play it. Eventually he wins out, and the various teams of classic stereotypes -- the nerd, the well-groomed hero, the obnoxious sorority sister, the easily duped freshman, and others -- all converge on Los Angeles at midnight. Their treks take them through the Griffith Observatory which because of those odd hours astronomers keep, could conceivably be open. Other locales are interestingly open too, apparently Los Angeles never sleeps. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Murder, She Wrote: Roadkill
In Texas, a member of a truck-hijacking ring turns up murdered. The evidence points to Rob Platt (Patrick Cassidy), the son of Wayne Platt (Earl Holliman), owner of a small trucking firm that was being victimized by the crooks. Inasmuch as Wayne is an old friend of Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury), one can safely assume that the truth will soon be revealed and the actual murderer put in irons. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My Father, My Son
My Father, My Son was based on the wrenching autobiographical book by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt. This TV movie begins in 1968, when Secretary of the Navy Zumwalt orders the anti-personnel drug Agent Orange to be sprayed on enemy troops in Vietnam; the Admiral has been assured by his superiors that the drug is essentially harmless. Meanwhile, Zumwalt's son Elmo III (Keith Carradine), having survived numerous debilitating childhood diseases, is serving in Nam. Fifteen years pass: Elmo III has contacted cancer, and Admiral Zumwalt must come to grips with the likelihood that his son's illness was caused by Agent Orange. Though the film does not shy away from politicizing, the focal point of My Father, My Son is the ever-strengthening relationship between Admiral Zumwalt and his stricken son (who died shortly after this film was first telecast in May of 1988). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Night Court: Safe
Halloween always seems to bring disaster of some kind or other to the Night Court gang. For example, Dan (John Larroquette) is literally bedeviled by a strange little man (Zale Kessler) in a satanic costume, who seems to know every intimate detail of Dan's life--and who offers to buy the prosecutor's soul for a measly hundred bucks. Meanwhile, Harry (Harry Anderson) ends up being locked in a safe while preparing a magic trick for his Halloween party, affording him time aplenty to review his previous misdeeds. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While Harry (Harry Anderson) takes a night off, his duties are assumed by Judge Watson (Jeff Altman), with whom Dan (John Larroquette) forms a bond. But when Watson proves to be packing heat--and worse, turns out to be a crook--it is a very reluctant Dan who agrees to wear a wire in a police sting operation aimed at the errant Judge. Watch for the hilarious "Bert and Ernie" moment featuring former Black Sheep Squadron regular Dirk Blocker and future Murphy Brown costar Joe Regalbuto. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Night of the Scarecrow
This is a '90s version of a good old fashioned B monster movie. It is set in a small rural town that is outwardly upright and peaceful and is inwardly rotten to the core. It seems that in its earliest years, the town fathers made a devil's bargain with a wandering warlock to insure good crops and prosperity for the residents. They soon came to regret the deal and decided to murder the magician and bury his bones in a field. The trouble begins in modern times when the hellish bones are inadvertently unearthed thereby freeing the warlock's evil spirit which immediately takes over a scarecrow and goes on an unequaled killing spree. The strawman's handiwork is discovered by young lovers Claire and Dillon. They soon find themselves pursued by the demonic creature, but eventually they knock the stuffing out of him and destroy the evil spirit, but not before more creative murders and mayhem ensue. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

For his third film as a director and his third film directing Clint Eastwood, stunt-man Buddy Van Horn helmed this action comedy involving a skip tracer, some neo-nazis, and the titular vehicle. Eastwood stars as Tommy Nowak, a bounty hunter with a knack for catching bail-skippers with an array of costumes and characters. After he captures a young woman (Bernadette Peters), he suddenly finds himself between the woman's good-for-nothing husband and his white supremacist cohorts and the wads of cash hidden in the pink Cadillac she's driving. With the skin-heads hot on their tail, a romance sparks between the skip-tracer and his captive. Written by John Eskow, Pink Cadillac costars Timothy Carhart and Michael Des Barres. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

With Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hopper, Steven Spielberg had his first great success as a producer. Released around the same time as Spielberg's E.T., the film presents the dark side of Spielberg's California suburban track homes. The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family living in the peaceful Cuesta Verde Estates. The father, Steve (Craig T. Nelson), has fallen asleep in front of the television, and the dog saunters around the house revealing the other family members -- Steve's wife Diane (JoBeth Williams), sixteen-year-old daughter Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old son Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O'Rourke). Soon strange things begin to happen around the house; the pet canary dies, mysterious storms occur, and Carol Ann is summoned to the TV set, where a strange shaft of green light hits her and causes the room to shake ("They're he-e-ere!"). As curious events continue, Carol Ann is repeatedly drawn to the television, where she begins to talk to "the TV people." Soon Carol Ann is sucked into a closet, disappearing from this reality plane. Unable to find his daughter, Steve consults Dr. Lesh (Beatrice Straight), a para-psychologist from a nearby college. Lesh finds that paranormal phenomena is so strong in the Freelong household she is unable to deal with it and sends for clairvoyant and professional exorcist Tangina (Zelda Rubinstein) to examine the house in hopes of finding Carol Ann. Tangina makes a horrifying discovery: Carol Ann is alive and in the house, but is being held on another spectral plane. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Fahrenheit Volatile preworkout.jpg Views: 161 Size: 37.4 KB" />
We have several logs going but might as well give AM subscribers a chance to try Volatile Pre-Workout. We want 5 loggers that will get a full container to try it and let us know what you think.
VOLATILE, by Fahrenheit Nutrition, is a great tasting PRE-Workout Catalyst. Compared to other pre-workouts that might leave you short changed, VOLATILE boasts 9 grams of active ingredients per scoop. The scientifically formulated active ingredients in VOLATILE give you energy to get you into the gym but will not cause jitters or a crash.* VOLATILE will leave your body totally pumped long after your workout is complete.*
The focus on VOLATILE is the PUMP. The ingredients in VOLATILE are scientifically proven to increase the blood flow into your muscles rapidly, aiding nutrient transport, fullness and vascularity to your muscles while you train.* This increase allows your body to produce more energy which in turn will allow you to push out more sets and more reps than you ever had before.*
Taking VOLATILE pre-workout is a proven way to give you an athletic edge that will improve endurance, decrease recovery time, giving you massive and long lasting pumps!*
The perfect combination of Energy meets Power = PUMP*
Enhances Nitric Oxide production
Increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle cells during exercise by dilating blood vessels.
Provides a larger amount of carbohydrates, proteins, and other muscle building hormones inside the cells.
Extends muscle pumps, enhances muscle growth through stimulation of both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers.
Boosts power output, leading to rock solid muscle gains.
Agmatine Sulfate:
Increases Nitric Oxide Production.
Effective in nutrient transport, partitioning, and enhancing blood flow.
Enhances muscle pumps by stimulating the release of hormones such as pituitary, growth hormone, and luteinizing hormone.
Inhibits (blocks) NO synthase, the enzyme that breaks down Nitric Oxide.
Gives an athletic edge that will improve endurance, decrease recovery time, give you massive and long lasting pumps, decrease body fat, and increase overall performance.
The increase in blood flow has been shown to promote better focus and enhance your mood.
Citrulline Malate:
Fuels ATP production (muscles energy source).
Eliminates metabolic waste such as Lactic Acid and Ammonia from Blood.
Boosts immune systems.
Stimulates energy.
Metabolized to L-Arginine.
Increases Nitric Oxide production.
Regulation ammonia toxins which damage living cells.
Purified extracts of apple and grape polyphenols.
Enhance sports performance.
Effects muscles cells providing a lasting vasodialting effect.
Scientifically researched and backed system of glucose polymers and sodium creating an anabolic environment inside your cells.
The glucose polymer combination maintains the proper osmolarity for proper digestion rate post workout to insure nutrients pass quickly and efficiently to muscles.
Prevents water from leaving too fast or too slow from cells, which maintains an even balance for fluid retention during recovery.
Prevents hyponatremia, an electrolyte disturbance, by keeping sodium levels even.
Increases glucose absorption and water uptake.
DiCreatine Malate:
Acts as a lactic acid buffer to prevent cramping.
No creatine loading and cycling required.
Retains the advantages of creatine monohydrate minus potential bloating and other disadvantages.
Magnesium Creatine Chelate (Creatine MagnaPower®):
Chemically bonded to magnesium rather than a water molecule as in creatine monohydrate.
Better creatine absorption through a lignand-gated cation channel.
More bio available creatine.
Less subcutaneous (under the skin) water retention.
Higher concentrations of creatine in the muscle, yielding better gains.
Green Coffee Bean Extract:
Increased Energy.
Assists in the production of NO (Nitric Oxide).
Regulates hormone metabolism and cell behavior.
Helps in the production of testosterone through estrogen.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin):
Helps the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy.
Improves blood flow.
Stabilize your blood sugar.
Improves mental focus.
Enhance Performance.
Boost heart health.
Increase energy levels.
Beta Alanine (as CarnoSyn®):
Increase Muscular Strength & Power Output.
Increase Aerobic and Anaerobic Endurance.
Delay Muscular Fatigue- Train Harder & Longer.
Q: Is there any DMAA in Volatile Pre-workout supplement?
A. No, Volatile does not have DMAA or any other substance that is currently banned by the World Anti-Doping Association.
Q: 9 active grams per scoop - how does that compare to other leading brands?
A. Other top competitors brands have between 3.5-5 grams of active ingredients per serving. Dont be fooled by serving size in grams. Look at the label.
Q: The label states: Take one scoop for muscle pump and two scoops for insane muscle pump. What's up with that?
A: One scoop of Volatile is more than adequate for most people with 9 grams of actives. But for those that want skin shredding muscle pumps, two scoops is the way to go! We would suggest starting with one scoop first before taking two scoops.
Q: Why do my muscles feel so tired hours after a workout
A: Two reasons - The ingredients in Volatile are scientifically designed to push you harder and harder while working out. This combined with increased blood flow pumps up your muscles while providing essential nutrients. Volatile was designed to continue "feeding" muscles long after your workout ends.
Q: How soon should I take Volatile before I workout?
A: As with most pre-workout supplements we recommend you take Volatile about 20-30 minutes prior to working out.
Q: In the past I have been unable to take pre-workout supplements because I work out at night and cannot get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning. Will Volatile keep me up all night if I use it in the evening?
A:It depends on how stim sensitive you are. The average person should be able to work out in the evening and still get a comfortable night of sleep. There is about as much caffeine as a regular cup of coffee. You need to assess your tolerance because everyone is different.

I am Hollyann Beth. I was named for a song my dad loved by the band Boston and given Beth as a mn so I could share his initials and his father's and grandfathers (they are all Harry Benjamin M).
One younger sister is Marissa Jayne. Marissa because they liked it, Jayne because my dad is called Jay.
Other younger sister was adopted and is Alisha (ah-li-sha) Nicole. Her bio mom liked Alisha from a soap opera. Nicole is for an older sister that her father had to give up custody of.
My older brother is Shon Michael. We only found out about him when I was a teen, so not sure why his mum choose it.
If I had been a boy I would have been Thomas Jay after a great grandfather and my dad. Marissa would have been Benjamin Harry.

- Collect data to better understand the extent of health risk behaviors, preventive care practices and the burden of chronic diseases
- Monitor the progress of prevention efforts
- Help public health professionals and policymakers make more timely and effective decisions
The Center's surveillance activities provide data and statistics relevant to each of its program areas. Listed below are links to CDC's major chronic disease surveillance systems.
CDC's Major Chronic Disease Surveillance Systems

Chronic Disease State Policy Tracking System
The Chronic Disease State Policy Tracking System is a state-based searchable database that provides policy information for preventing and controlling diseases. Currently this database contains nutrition, physical activity, and obesity data. This system provides a single data source for identifying and tracking selected policies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The database can be used to conduct policy research and help educate public health professionals, researchers, and decision makers about state-level policies and programs to address chronic diseases. The types of policies collected include state legislation and agency regulations. Information includes bill number, bill history, year, and legislative sponsor. An abstract of the policy and its current status also is provided.
Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL)
The concept of health-related quality of life refers to a person or group's perceived physical and mental health over time. The purpose of HRQOL surveillance is to identify unmet population health needs; recognize trends, disparities, and determinants of health in the population; and inform decision making and program evaluation in the area of public health.
National Assisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance System (NASS)
To fulfill the mandate of the Fertility Clinic Success Rates and Certification Act of 1992, CDC maintains a surveillance system designed to collect information on Assistive Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment outcomes from all infertility clinics in the United States, and publishes an annual report. Data collected includes patient profile, reasons for ART treatment, type of ART procedure, treatment outcomes, and clinic contact information.

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews and physical examinations.
National Oral Health Surveillance System (NOHSS)
NOHSS presents data from state-based and national surveys to monitor trends in key indicators of oral health status, oral health care utilization, receipt of preventive interventions such as water fluoridation and dental sealants, and state oral health program infrastructure.
National Program of Cancer Registries
NPCR funds population-based cancer registries in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Pacific Island jurisdictions to collect data on the occurrence of cancer; the type, extent, and location of the cancer; and the type of initial treatment. These data enable public health professionals to better understand and address the cancer burden.
National Youth Tobacco Survey
NYTS is a nationally representative cross-sectional school-based survey of public school students enrolled in grades 6-12. NYTS provides the data needed to inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of state and national comprehensive tobacco control programs that work to prevent young people from initiating tobacco use and help those who have already started using tobacco to quit.
Pediatric and Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System
The Pediatric (PedNSS) and Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) Web-based training site provides online training modules and uses case studies to show how to read a table, review data quality, interpret the data, use the data for program evaluation, and disseminate the data in reports and facts sheets.
Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System
PRAMS collects state-specific, population-based data on maternal attitudes and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy.
State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System
The State Tobacco Activities Tracking and Evaluation (STATE) System is an electronic data warehouse containing up-to-date and historical state-level data on tobacco use prevention and control.

The STATE System is the primary data source for tobacco control legislation on Advertising, Excise Tax, Licensure, Preemption, Smokefree Indoor Air, and Licensure. These data are collected and analyzed by the STATE System.
United States Cancer Statistics (USCS)
This Web-based report includes the official federal statistics on cancer incidence from registries that have high-quality data and cancer mortality statistics. Data from this report provide a basis for research, cancer control planning, health communications, and policy development efforts.
Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System
The YRBSS was developed to monitor priority health risk behaviors that contribute markedly to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults in the United States.

Marianas Trench's Ian Casselman has made a delightful cover of You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch and has made an awfully amazing video to go along with it! Watch him go through the town, basically making everyone's lives a little less festive and a little more freakish.
Watch the video below and be sure to pick up Bundled Up, a holiday compilation album from 604 Records featuring more holiday tunes from artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Jessica Lee, and Josh Ramsay. Grab it here and stuff that into a stocking this Christmas!

Whenever I spend a lot of time in the pool, my blonde hair picks up this weird green hue and I look like Swamp Thing. Is there a way to prevent or fix this?
Use a product such as Warren-Tricomi Organic Hair Shield that creates a barrier against harmful agents to prevent hair from absorbing the metals in the pool water. Before jumping in, saturate your hair in fresh water. This will act as a natural barrier from chlorine. If you don't have fresh water, you can spray on a leave-in conditioner.

Mini Hot Towel Cabinet with Side Swing DoorIdeal for small spaces, independent therapists or low volume facilities. Holds approximately 12 regular manicure size, 16"x27" towels. Temperature range of 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit. 1 year manufacturer warranty. Outside Dimensions: 13 3/4"W x 11"D x 10"HInside Dimensions: 10 1/2"W x 7 1/4"D x 5 3/8"H
I received my cabinet today and promptly fixed a couple hot towels to test it out. I was sorely disappointed. The door does not seal nicely at all, in fact if i look at it closely along the side where it swings open I can actually see inside because the door is only "setting" closed, not sealed at all. Within 30 mins of turning it on with a damp towel inside, I had wet condensation on the outside of the door. After leaving it turned on for 5 HOURS the towel was very warm, but still not really HOT. I then pushed something up against it to keep it tightly closed and within 30 mins I had a steaming hot towel. Needless to say, this is going back. But I don't know whether to risk trying? More likely I will have to take the time to comparison shop around for another mini model. Such a waste of my time!
Excellent unit I roll up 12 towels that are 15"x24" rung out in warm water and they are hot and stay hot within 1/2 an hour. You can't beat the price for the added benefit for your clients.
I love this! I tried my stone heaters to heat towels for special treatments but the temps varied too much. Not anymore! It's wonderful to have my towels at a dependable & comfortable temp.
I know the name says mini but I didn't realize how small the inside was. You can fit maybe 3 handtowels in it at a time and they have to be wrapped in a heat bag. I didn't even use it, just returned it.
I have tried moist towels, dry towels, cotton and synthetic towels, but they just don't get hot enough. I put one towel in at a time, too, and still not hot enough.

The BrikVerse contains within itself and from other dimensions comes quite frequently into contact with a ridiculous number of items, elements, materials, forces, powers, and abstract concepts. These materials and phenomena have a profound impact on the universe and its inhabitants. Galaxy wide conflicts can break out over the ability to control just one of them and the use of some have deeply historical consequences.
