From the beloved director of Chocolat and the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. A visionary sheik (Amr Waked) believes his passion for the peaceful pastime of salmon fishing can enrich the lives of his people, and he dreams of bringing the sport to the not so fish-friendly desert. Willing to spare no expense, he instructs his representative (Emily Blunt) to turn the dream into reality, an extraordinary feat that will require the involvement of Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) who happens to think the project both absurd and unachievable. That is, until the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a 'good will' story. Now, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
Ewan McGregor is known for successfully portraying an array of diverse characters. From his breakthrough role as the heroin-addicted Mark Renton in Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, to the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, to starring as 'Christian' opposite Nicole Kidman in the Academy Award® and BAFTA award winning musical Moulin Rouge, McGregor has proven himself as a true actor time and again. McGregor was recently seen in Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer, in Beginners, opposite Academy Award® winner Christopher Plummer, and in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire. Aside from Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, McGregor will next be seen in the upcoming The Impossible with Naomi Watts, a drama based around a true story set during and after the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004.
Emily Blunt shot to international prominence with her lead role as the mysterious, privileged Tamsin, in the multi award-winning British movie, My Summer of Love which earned her the Most Promising Newcomer award at the 2004 Evening Standard Film Awards. Soon after, Blunt starred in the critically-acclaimed Gideon's Daughter where she won a Golden Globe® for Best Supporting Actress in Television at the 2007 Awards for her performance. Since then, Blunt has starred in a variety of films, including The Devil Wears Prada, The Great Buck Howard, Dan in Real Life, The Jane Austen Book Club, Sunshine Cleaning, Charlie Wilson's War, The Young Victoria, The Wolfman, Gnomeo and Juliet, Gulliver's Travels, The Adjustment Bureau, and Disney's The Muppets. Following Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Blunt will be seen in Five Year-Engagement alongside Jason Segel, Alison Brie, Rhys Ifans and Chris Pratt and in the time-travel thiller Looper that is slated for a late 2012 release. Other upcoming releases include Your Sister's Sister, directed by Lynn Shelton and co-starring Rosemarie DeWitt and Mark Duplass, and Arthur Newman: Golf Pro, directed by Dante Ariola and co-starring Colin Firth.
Award winning actress Kristin Scott Thomas has become internationally renowned for her talent, elegance and commitment to her craft. Scott Thomas first won over audiences and critics worldwide with her Academy Award® nominated performance in the late Anthony Minghella's The English Patient, where she was honored by the National Board of Review, and was nominated for a Golden Globe®, the BAFTA, and the Screen Actors Guild Award. Never shying away from challenging roles and determined not to repeat herself, Scott Thomas' body of work is an extraordinary collection of acclaimed film, television and theatre performances. In 2001, Scott Thomas was part of the ensemble for Robert Altman's acclaimed, Academy Award® winning film, Gosford Park and in 2008, she starred in Phillipe Claudel's critically acclaimed French language film, I've Loved You So Long for which she received a Golden Globe®, Cesar and BAFTA nomination, as well as won the European Best Actress award and the London Film Critics award for British Actress of the Year. Upcoming, she will appear in Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's Bel Ami and Pawel Pawlikowski's La Femme du 5eme (aka The Woman In the Fifth) opposite Ethan Hawke.
LASSE HALLSTRÖM / Director
SIMON BEAFOY / Screenplay
One of Sweden's most renowned directors, Lasse Hallström is best known to international audiences as the maker of such poignant but resolutely unsentimental coming-of-age films as My Life as a Dog and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. In 1991, he came to the US and made his stateside debut with Once Around, a romantic comedy starring Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfuss. Two years later, he directed What's Eating Gilbert Grape, followed by the romantic comedy Something to Talk About in 1995. The director did not make another film for four years until he re-emerged with an adaptation of John Irving's The Cider House Rules. The following year, Hallström scored yet another art-house hit with the romantic comedy drama Chocolat, the tale of a small-town candy maker who shakes up her community by staying open on Sundays earned numerous award nominations including four Golden Globe® Nominations and five Academy Award® nominations. His recent credits also include The Shipping News (2001), An Unfinished Life (2005), Casanova(2005), and Dear John (2010).
Simon Beaufoy's first full-length feature in 1996 was The Full Monty, nominated for Academy Awards® for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film; the Writers' Guild of America award for Best Original Screenplay; and Golden Globe® Best Picture and Golden Satellite Best Original Screenplay awards; and for 11 BAFTA awards (of which it won - among others - Best Film and Daily Mail Readers' Award for Best Film). In 2009, Beaufoy's Slumdog Millionaire scooped 8 Academy Award® wins at the 81st Annual Academy Awards®, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film. In 2011, Beaufoy's 127 Hours received 8 BAFTA nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best British Film, as well as being nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Golden Globes® and Academy Awards®. He is currently writing The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire.

Let's bring in chief White House correspondent Ed Henry live in Newtown.
Add your thoughts about the president's remarks you know we.
Talked about how wasn't going to be a policy speech and this was about healing and comfort in this town.
But clearly there was a message here that the nation is not doing enough to -- keep kids safe.
And while it wasn't specific in its policy prescriptions.
It was suggest suggestive.
-- -- It certainly wasn't what back to my notes that I looked at 10 what what advisor told me before the speech was that it was not a policy symposium that it was going to be.
A speech that was going to be conducive to the venue of of of prayer vigil.
And you're right there wasn't any specific policy proposals there was never the words gun control uttered.
There was never assault weapons ban -- anything specific like that.
But make no mistake he was referring specifically to the idea when he said in the weeks ahead he would be talking to law enforcement officials and others.
To figure out how we're gonna better protect our children and I wrote when he said what choice do we have are we prepared to say -- too.
Powerless to do something you're absolutely right while they telegraphed that he wasn't gonna give a policy address and -- specific policy proposals.
He made it quite clear that in the weeks ahead.
He's planning to take dramatic action on this issue as you know from hearing Mayor Bloomberg and others this morning on the Sunday shows elsewhere.
They're gonna hold his feet to the fire he doesn't follow up on that so that will be -- the days ahead.
Two other quick things one when the president was reading the names of each child near the end.
And reporters inside the room are telling us that they heard weeping in heaving from adults.
Adults who were hearing those children's names that is something that sticks with you and finally.
But the governor introduce the president.
Instead that back stage the president had told the governor.
That Friday was the toughest day of his presidency having covered him for four years now and you think back.
To war in Afghanistan the financial crisis that is affected so many Americans.
Their finances and they've struggled the unemployed in this country etc.
and the fact that the president himself said.
Tucson Aurora Wisconsin.
Many other shootings the fact that he said Friday was the worst day of his presidency tells you the depth of this of this terrible terrible tragedy for a Henry thank you and wasn't powerful speech --

The language we use to describe our health is important. It allows us to communicate vital information with others, including health care providers. Yet many terms or phrases that seem well-established within the language of health and illness serve little purpose and may even confuse matters. They seem to mean something specific and sound "medical," but they either are too vague or refer to nonexistent conditions. There are a host of examples — here are some of the more common:
How Rumors Begin If these terms have so little specific meaning, where do they come from and why do they persist? Although there are probably different origins for different terms, one likely explanation is that the medical community has discarded such older terminology, once viewed as medically valid, in favor of newer terminology. For example, medical practitioners in the 1500s used the term "rheumatism" to identify a host of ailments affecting the joints, but this term lost much of its usefulness with improved understanding about arthritic disorders and the ability to separate rheumatic fever from gout from rheumatoid arthritis, etc. By historical precedent, however, the term lives on. Others terms, such as "nervous breakdown" likely developed at least in part as a translation of medical jargon into lay terms. Although such lay-friendly terminology may seem helpful, there is a danger is using terms that are not accurate or specific. Effective communication among people who are ill, their family members and health care professionals requires that all parties have a similar understanding of the underlying problem. Although it may not matter much for certain conditions, more meaningful information can make a big difference in many situations. For example, the term "heart condition" could refer to, among other possibilities, a leaky heart valve, a past heart attack or heart failure — and the differences between these conditions are considerable. Using more specific or descriptive terms helps improve the understanding of one's health and illness history for all concerned parties. Improving Your Communication Communicating medical information is clearly a challenge, but there are ways you can improve the situation. Learn all you can about your health and any illnesses you may have had. If you forget or do not understand your specific health issues, ask questions. Your own health care professionals can "translate" your medical record in a way that is accurate and that you and your family members can understand. In addition, there are often other sources of information that you can consult to learn more about your condition. Your health care professional can direct you to these sources, which may include medical organizations, articles, books and Web sites. Finally, write down your medical diagnoses and conditions and keep this information current. Your health care professional likely tracks your health issues in your medical record, but there are good reasons for you to keep an accurate and updated list of your own. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School.

Grab a Button!
Product 93/168
When her uncle left her in the dust of Loving, Texas, Honey Carrington survived by keeping house at the Moonlight Hotel, all the while dreaming of marrying a respectable rancher. But dangerous is the only word for tall, dark and handsomeTexas Ranger, Brett Masters. She's drawn by the velvet caress of his voice, but becomes suspicious of his admiring appraisal of her when he warns his friends she belongs to him.
With a risky job like Brett's, and still on the hunt for rogue werewolves who killed his parents, he figures love can only leave a widow. Leader of the wolf pack, he never expected to find his mate, until he met Honey.
Now he must prove in front of witnesses, according to the pack law love ritual, that she belongs to him. When her life is threatened, he must protect her at all cost from the last of the rogue werewolves. But can he?
"Don't show them fear," he whispered. Masters' hands brought her snug against him, so the two of them faced the others with her backside firmly against the front of him—and pressed into his arousal.
His soft breath heated the side of her neck beneath her ear. "I won't hurt you," he whispered, making her shudder. "Nod once if you're a virgin."
Her breath stopped. She stared at the men across the room and nodded.
"Pretend you're my lady and you're in heaven," he continued, his breath wafting over her chilled skin.
Heaven? At the moment she believed she'd fallen into purgatory and hell was soon to follow. If he took her virginity, she'd shame the rancher she dreamed of marrying someday. She'd never find the happy home she yearned for.
"Close your eyes, honey," he ordered, his voice clipped, as he smoothed his hands upward from her waist. "Pretend."
She snapped her eyes closed. Did he know her name, or was 'honey' what he called every woman? His large hands cupped her breasts and she gasped at the sensation. Her whole body shook and she didn't know if her legs would hold her. What was he going to do to her?
"Heaven," he said, his low voice and hot breath in her ear.
She dared to hope she'd come out of this still a virgin and complied. Remembering how those loose women moaned with pleasure, she dropped her head back against his chest and moaned, not sure, in her experience, how convincing it sounded. The soft touch of his fingers brushing over her nipples brought heat to her face and sent a surging ache to her private parts.
Surely it's wanton to respond to this man's caress.
Her dreams for the future went up in flames just as her body burned from his touch. He kneaded her breasts and his arousal pressed along the crease of her buttocks. "Oh, God," she cried, every nerve tingling with incredible sensations.
"It's all right," he said softly. One of his hands left her breast and glided over her ribs and waist.
When his fingers stroked over her belly and down between her thighs, her muscles tensed. What's he doing?
"Heaven, honey. Don't forget," he murmured, his warm breath tantalizing the place beneath her ear, making her pant.
Licking her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, she writhed from the tension he created. How long must she suffer the tormenting touches from this handsome man that made her body burn? Touches only a husband should be allowed.

TALLAHASSEE -- Dealing with issues that affect the health care of millions of poor and uninsured residents, Florida leaders in 2013 could move forward with a long-awaited overhaul of the Medicaid system and likely will decide how to carry out the federal Affordable Care Act.
Both issues are highly complex and politically controversial.
Gov. Rick Scott and Republican legislative leaders want to require almost all Medicaid beneficiaries statewide to enroll in managed-care plans, an effort that has drawn opposition from Democratic lawmakers and some patient advocates. Meanwhile, after waging a legal and political battle, Scott and his GOP colleagues face the reality that the Affordable Care Act — better known as Obamacare — is here to stay.
Lawmakers in 2011 approved the Medicaid overhaul, but it requires approval from the federal government. State Medicaid director Justin Senior told lawmakers this month that he expects a decision from federal officials in February about the first part of the overhaul.
That part would lead to managed-care enrollment for seniors who need long-term care. If approved by federal officials, those changes would start taking effect by Oct. 1. Broadly, the idea is that HMOs and other types of managed-care plans could provide services that would allow seniors to stay in their homes and communities instead of having to live in costly nursing facilities.
The state Agency for Health Care Administration has been seeking approval from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for more than a year and also has started the contracting process for managed-care plans that want to take part in the long-term care system. The state would be split into 11 regions, with a limited number of plans receiving contracts in each region.
Senior said much of the state's negotiations with federal officials have focused on safeguards to make sure that the program would be based on providing services in people's homes and communities and would not be a "nursing home light" system.
The state also is seeking approval to require the broader Medicaid population, such as low-income women and children, to enroll in managed-care plans. Those changes would start to take effect by October 2014, though Senior said the state has focused first on getting approval for the long-term care portion of the overhaul.
"As we get that approval, I think our guns will turn, if you will, onto the (proposal dealing with the broader Medicaid population), and we will really start to negotiate with the federal government to get to the best possible product there as well and do it in a timely fashion,'' Senior told the House Health & Human Services Committee.
Supporters of the overhaul contend that it will help hold down costs in the Medicaid program and better coordinate care for beneficiaries. Medicaid serves more than 3.2 million people in Florida, and is expected to spend about $20.8 billion this fiscal year.
But critics of the overhaul have long raised concerns that for-profit HMOs will scrimp on care for the beneficiaries. Rep. Elaine Schwartz, D-Hollywood, pointedly asked Senior about whether the state will have enough oversight of the managed-care organizations.
"I don't hear from you that there is a beefing up in these programs to oversee these managed-care companies who could easily be diverting that money to the wrong purposes,'' Schwartz said.

Lessons From a Dark and Stormy Night
January 28, 2013 | Posted by Don Seaman under Commentary |
Somewhere in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, a phone rings. The caller is bearing news: "I just heard that there's a station open. I'll text you where you need to go." It doesn't matter that it's 9PM. You have to take your opportunity when you can. So you run out the door to get […]


text: In "First Point," his new short film, the artist Richard Phillips combines two of his current obsessions: surfing and Lindsay Lohan. Phillips has worked with the actress and tabloid goddess before, on a 90-second video for Neville Wakefield's "Commercial Break," which had a very brief run during the 54th Venice Biennale. And his studio is lined with several larger-than-life paintings of Lohan that came directly out of that particular project. But don't call Lohan his muse. Lohan, Phillips insists, is his collaborator as much as anyone in the stellar cast of people who worked on the film, including the legendary surf filmmaker Taylor Steele; the professional surfer Kassia Meador, who performs mesmerizingly as Lohan's body double; the editor Jay Rabinowitz; and Thomas Bangalter, one half of the electro duo Daft Punk, who composed the ominously swelling score. As the trailer implies, "First Point" is at once a surf film and a film noir, an exploration of the California dream and the Hollywood nightmare, worlds that Lohan doesn't have to pretend to straddle on screen. But no doubt the question on everyone's lips when "First Point" has its premiere next week at Art Unlimited, the curated section of the Art Basel fair, will be: "Is it art?" And that is just fine by Phillips. "It's just like in my paintings," he says. "Because of the actor and the popular culture dimensions of the project, it will give people — especially people in the art world — a real sense of instability with regard to my intentions. Is it a film? Is it an art video? It refuses to announce itself as either."

text: It's Wednesday, weeeeeeeee! And of course with another Odin's Day comes a new and exciting episode from the woman I will one day sedate and force to marry me, the one, the only, Jenna Marbles. This week features a deep and cutting expose on the inner workings of the female mind while engaged in the act of driving. Having been in my fair share of automobiles with females driving, (in some cases nearly meeting death as a result,) I can attest with full conviction that this is an accurate depiction of what must be going through most girls' minds when they are behind the wheel. Seriously, no offense ladies, but once the car door closes and your foot touches that gas pedal, it's like your brains sever all neural pathways to the center that controls your higher motor functions and all synapses retreat deeply into the enigmatic netherverse hidden somewhere deep in your incredibly complicated psyches. I don't get it. I never will.

Niacin was the third B vitamin to be identified as a dietary essential for its role in treating the deficiency disease "black tongue" in dogs and a disease with a similar etiology, pellagra, in humans. The discovery was tied to pets and humans consuming diets nearly monopolized by grains and deficient in quality proteins.
Since the late 1930s, incidence of these diseases is almost unheard of. Today, while no significant consumer controversies are prevalent on pet enthusiast blogs or customer service hotlines regarding niacin in petfood, we can't become complacent and overlook its importance.
In the older nutrition literature, niacin may be referred to as vitamin B3—for its place behind thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2)—or vitamin PP (PP for pellagra preventive factor). The term "niacin" is actually a coined word used to describe several vitamers with biological activity associated with nicotinamide, nicotinic acid and a couple of select pyridine nucleotides.
Structurally, niacin is one of the simplest of the vitamins. Nicotinic acid is based on a pyridine ring (nitrogen-containing 6-sided ring) and a carboxyl side group (carbon with an OH and a double bonded oxygen). If the OH is replaced with an NH (amide), the molecule becomes nicotinamide.
In metabolism, niacin is converted to the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its phosphorylated form (NADP). The NAD and NADP co-enzymes function as electron transport intermediates in energy transfer reactions. They play a central role in carbohydrate metabolic pathways like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation, protein metabolism and many other tissue specific functions. These are vital factors for healthy maintenance of nervous tissues, the gastrointestinal tract and skin functions.
Deficiency symptoms are typically secondary to dietary insufficiency of quality meat-based proteins and manifest as anorexia, weight loss, inflammation around the mouth and throat, salivation, blood in the saliva and bloody diarrhea. The reason protein quality factors into niacin deficiency is that tryptophan can be converted to niacin in most species. However, in pet diets, tryptophan is often the first-limiting amino acid.
Further, the cat is unable to convert tryptophan to niacin. While cats possess all the biosynthetic pathways necessary for the conversion, they also possess a super-high picolinic carboxylase activity (the highest reported in the animal kingdom). This competing bifurcation in the path steals tryptophan away from niacin production in favor of acetyl-CoA and CO2. One can surmise that during the evolution of the cat, since the felid diet was sufficient in pre-formed niacin from its prey, the metabolic machinery to convert tryptophan was marginalized in deference to other more critical needs. Because of this, today most modern cat diets must be fortified with niacin.
Meats, especially organ meats like liver, are rich sources of the pre-formed niacin-containing co-enzymes NAD and NADP. Yeast and fermentation products can also provide a significant supply. Plant sources contain primarily nicotinic acid, which is not an issue by itself; but the bio-availability of nicotinic acid can be compromised in plant sources due to strong chemical bonds with peptides (e.g., the so-called niacinogens) or carbohydrates (e.g., niacytin found in wheat bran). The net result is that bioavailability in grains and oilseeds is low, ranging from 0 to 50%.
However, the bound niacin can be released by extensive cooking. For example, Mexican foods use a process called nixtamalization where corn is cooked in limewater (saturated calcium hydroxide). This process adds many beneficial properties to the food and also releases the niacin, but this is not a practical step for petfood production. So, the general recommendations are to ignore the niacin contribution from the base dietary ingredients or at most only consider one-third of the niacin as nutritionally available, then provide supplemental sources to fill the gap.
These supplemental dietary sources are merchandised by the primary vitamin manufacturers in the wholesale ingredients market channel. Besides modest amounts that have been promoted from so-called "green" sources, most are chemically synthesized using several routes. In general, nicotinic acid is produced by oxidation of 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine and nicotinamide is produced via 3-methylpyridine. These compounds are derived from two carbon sources such as acetaldehyde and formaldehyde or from acrolein and ammonia.
Both nicotinic acid and niacinamide moieties of niacin are commercially available for use in petfoods. These are ultra-concentrated vitamins with nearly 100% active content that are required by the animal at only part per million levels. Thus, these white to off-white crystalline powders are commonly mixed with other vitamins into a vitamin premix. Petfood manufacturers will specify whether they prefer nicotinic acid or niacinamide in their premix depending on the type of petfood application.
Nicotinic acid is moderately soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohol but insoluble in non-polar solvents like ether. Niacinamide, on the other hand, is highly soluble in water and soluble in ether. While niacin is supposedly an odorless, tasteless compound in its most pure state, the supplemental forms often carry with them the strong medicinal odor that one often attributes to the B vitamins.
From a labeling perspective, the Association of American Feed Control Officials' Official Publication (2011) equates niacin with nicotinic acid and niacinamide with nicotinamide. Nutritionally, they are interchangeable, and according to AAFCO (Section 90.16), both can be lumped under the term "niacin supplement." Regardless of form, they are relatively stable in petfood processes.
One should be aware that around 75% of such a supplement will survive processing and persist for the full shelf-life of the product; so generous overages should be considered. As a practical matter, there is no safe upper limit established for dogs or cats. It has been established that niacin is toxic at levels in excess of 350 mg/kg body weight per day for most animals (NRC, 1987). So, in the end, it is important to be liberal with supplementation because a deficiency can be devastating and a substantial margin of safety exists should excess be included.

The annual Horses Unlimited Bowl-a-Thon is back and set to take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 22, at La Sierra Lanes in Quincy. The annual event is one of the nonprofit's largest fundraisers.
Horses Unlimited Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides therapeutic horseback riding to individuals who are challenged with a disability. The organization emphasizes not only the physical benefits of riding, but also the development of the relationship between the rider and the horse.
The program extends beyond Plumas County to Lassen and Sierra counties, though funds raised at the Bowl-a-Thon will go strictly to the Plumas program. In specific, funds will go toward providing equipment and supplies for the therapeutic riding program.
"Last year's Bowl-a-Thon was great," said event organizer Lauren Sternberg. "It was a huge success. We raised more than $1,000 with just 11 bowlers."
Teams and individual bowlers are welcome, as are sponsorships for those in the program. A $25 minimum donation is suggested to bowl in the Bowl-a-Thon. Horses Unlimited will provide refreshments and prizes will be awarded immediately following the games.
Those interested in participating or sponsoring are invited to contact Sternberg at 836-2795.

I knew I was home from the first time I placed my hands on my yoga mat. From that point, my journey of exploration began. Teaching found me by "accident", when I attended my regular Ashtanga Yoga class, and there was no instructor to lead. With a bit of encouragement from my fellow yoga peers, I stepped in. Though nervous during this experience, the high I felt from sharing my practice with others was huge. My teaching journey continued on… I started teaching yoga in 1999, to a small intimate group of yogis. In 2001, my formal training began at 8 Limbs Yoga Centers in Seattle, Baptiste Power VinyasaYoga, Levels 1 & 2, and more recently, Bryan Kest's Power Yoga. Aside from my, "yoga training", my most profound teacher is life itself. My family, experiences, opportunities,... Read the profile >>

Life Time Fitness (Atlanta, Alpharetta, Mountain Brook)
As a former figure skater, Mila Burgess learned, early on, about the importance of balance, stability and flexibility. She took her first yoga class after hearing that it would not only improve all of these things, but also, that it was a "great workout". What she quickly learned, however, was that yoga is not just exercises on a mat but, rather, a practice for life that has become an integral part of her lifestyle. As a former school teacher and principal with a passion for fitness, teaching group exercise seemed like the perfect marriage of interests for Mila. She often jokes that when she began teaching group fitness, her only qualification was her ability to put together a good playlist.

Video of the week (Special edition)
Hello everybody!
This week's blog post was inspired by good synergy, alliances, duets, unions, harmonies and simple perfection.
Yesterday I was out to see Anna Ternheim playing with Dave Ferguson at the Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush, London… It completely blew my mind in such a way that I decided to change this week's post to talk about this perfect collaboration between two great musicians.
The Longer The Waiting, The Sweeter The Kiss - Anna Ternheim with Dave Ferguson (Dir. John Boisen & Björn Fävremark)
ANNA Ternheim, singer-songwriter, 33 years old from from Stockholm, Sweden.
DAVID R. Ferguson, sound engineer and multi-instrumentalist, 50 years old from Nashville, Tennessee.
SHE started playing the guitar when she was 10 years old, beginning her career in 2003 releasing a total of 5 albums.
HE's been playing since he was 17 and began his career in the mid's 80's engineering country music for Jack Clement.
HER music has acoustic, folk and blues influences supported by a beautiful and acurate voice.
HIS talent got him to work with many legends as John Prine, Charlie Pride, Eddy Arnlod, U2, The Del McCoury Band and so many more.
SHE received many awards as the Swedish Grammy for Best Newcomer of the year, Best Female Artist and Best Lyricist.
HE received Grammy Awards from albums made with Johnny Cash.
Together they created "Night Visitor" (which you can purchase digitally here or physically here), a record mainly made of beautiful arrangements on acoustic guitars supported by deep and charming vocals with great sad (nothing depressing, just beautiful sadness) lyrics. Surrounded by American country musicians, she created a very strong and fine album.
The video is for one of the album tracks which is a Josh Turner cover, a track Dave Ferguson presented to Anna Ternheim who instantly fell in love with. The video was made in Dave Ferguson's country house where Anna, Dave and many incredible musicians spent some time together creating the new album. The video is really simple and sweet. Really beautiful work from the cameras and the colour correction. It's one of those great videos which shows the truth and the natural look of great musicians getting together. A really sweet video for the sweetest song!
PS: If you are into sound engineering and/or Johnny Cash, there is a great article about the recording of the album "American VI: Ain't No Grave", click here
We'll be back next week with our usual top 3!
Let us know what you think and send us some music videos you find amazing too!
Love, Lara.

text: Home History Should Blacks Collect Racist Memorabilia? 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro: A case for saving imagery that worked in tandem with Jim Crow laws. By: Henry Louis Gates Jr. Posted: June 3 2013 12:07 AM 0 Color halftone repro. of drawing signed in lower left Erhart, copyrighted by Keppler & Schwarzmann. Illus. in: Puck, 1913 Feb. 2 Editor's note: For those who are wondering about the retro title of this black-history series, please take a moment to learn about historian Joel A. Rogers, author of the 1934 book 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof, to whom these "amazing facts" are an homage. (The Root) -- Amazing Fact About the Negro No. 34: How did the Black Sambo memorabilia that is collected today come to be? I have a confession to make: I collect racist memorabilia. Perhaps it is because my mother seems to have as well. She kept a very small ashtray on a table in our living room featuring a Black Sambo figurine at its center. Since neither of our parents ever smoked, I know Mom didn't buy this object for its function; she bought it because she was intrigued, just as I was, even as a child. Why was this boy so very black -- jet black, the blackest of blacks -- and why was he depicted as naked? Again and again in idle moments, I would be drawn to the plight of this little black boy, frozen for all time in a racist form of in extremis, I guess one might say, with the reddest and thickest of lips, the whitest of eyes and the unutterably blackest of skin. When it comes to the question of whether collecting those racist images is right, I often encounter two strong and diametrically opposed reactions from African Americans. Some can't seem to amass enough examples of these "collectibles" or "memorabilia" (as we euphemistically call these hideous images today). Others think the whole lot should be assembled into one gigantic bonfire, incinerated, and the ashes buried in an impenetrable vault, or strewn over the broadest reach of the deepest ocean never to be displayed again. It's as if these artifacts' complete and total obliteration could wipe the slate clean or erase the painful memory and palpably harmful effects of seeing ourselves reflected over and over through the murky mirror of the anti-black subconscious as deracinated, gluttonous, lascivious non-reflective sub-human beasts -- thieves, rapists, liars -- a species apart from all other human beings, dominated and ruled like other animals by our instincts and passions and not by our (sub-standard) brains. I understand the latter reaction, so it may seem counterintuitive that I pursue a scholarly interest in what I think of as the everyday racism of the genre of American popular culture that I call "Sambo Art." In fact, one of the components of Harvard's extensive "Image of the Black in Western Art Archive" -- composed of some 26,000 images of black people in Western art, both noble and ignoble, in both high and low art forms -- is made up of these racist images, which I hope scholars will study, analyze and critique: first, to understand why and how they came into being and were used to demean and delimit our people as human beings and as citizens, and second, so that we can keep this sort of thing from being used against our people and any other subjugated people ever again, to paraphrase the defiant assertion of many Jewish people in relation to the Holocaust. I thought about all of this a few days ago, when I walked into the Sable Images Shop near Leimert Park, bordering the Baldwin Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, while filming an episode of "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross," our six-hour African-American history series to be aired on PBS starting on Oct. 22. The lovely shop, owned and operated by an African-American woman, Gail Deculus-Johnson, is chock-full of historical examples of Sambo Art, ranging from 19th-century minstrel imagery all the way to advertisements for the Amos 'n' Andy television program in the early 1950s. What makes this shop different from others I have visited is a very thoughtful pamphlet that Deculus-Johnson distributes to her customers, in which she discusses why she collects and sells these items. In response to this fascinating rhetorical question -- "[Since] some items are disturbing, offensive and hard to believe, [if you collect and display them] are you creating these images yourself?" -- her pamphlet answers: "No, definitely not," since the store "contains astounding mementos reflecting true lives of people of African descent," including all that African Americans have suffered through visual media, "depictions [that] are a testimony of life in the past," including "the 'good, bad, and ugly.' " And in response to whether "these politically incorrect depictions" are, in fact, "teaching racism," the pamphlet answers that "displaying memorabilia as part of a home, no matter how painful it may seem, is ensuring that 'each one teach one' and that history must not repeat itself." Our children, it continues, "must know where we have been to know where we are going." In other words, the most important function of displaying and collecting this stuff is a didactic one: critique. And there is a lot here to critique. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. The Spread of Everyday Racism The first question that strikes any student of Sambo Art is, Why so many images? It is the sheer number of these images that strikes me as perhaps the most amazing fact about them collectively. I mean, how many ways can one call a woman or a man "nigger" or "coon"? How many watermelons does a person have to be represented as devouring, how many chickens stolen, to make the point that black people are ostensibly by nature gluttonous thieves? Why in the world did anyone think it necessary to produce tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of discrete racist images -- a set of fixed types or motifs, including those luscious watermelons and irresistible plump chickens, ranging across virtually every conceivable form of American popular culture following the end of Reconstruction and more particularly at the turn of the 19th century? The explanation comes in three words: justifying Jim Crow.

Joseph Francis Rummel at the monster parade held in honor of the new archbishop for the see of Orleans. Throughout the entire program of reception and installation Tuesday and Wednesday Loyola played a prominent part in the activities. Led by the Loyola university band and the New Orleans clergy, the parade, consisting of thousands of Catholic supporters, left the foot of Canal street at Eads place, and marched on the uptown side of Canal as far as Elks place, then down the other side to Chartres street, then to the St. Louis Cathedral where the archbishop and the visiting apostolic delegates, monsignori, and bishops reviewed the procession. In the procession were the Archbishop, 20 visiting bishops, 6 visiting abbots, 21 domestic prelates, the clergy of the city, all high schools and elementary schools, and every Catholic organization of New Orleans. A banquet for the clergy was held immediately after at the Tip Top !nn of the Roosevelt hotel, and part of the entertainment was supplied by Francis Hursey, Loyola tenor, and Rene Louapre, music student, and his orchestra. At the civic reception Tuesday night at the Municipal auditorium the Loyola Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Ernest E. Schuyten, provided the music. The installation and imposition of the pallium ceremonies took place Wednesday morning at the Solemn Pontifical High Mass celebrated at St. Louis Cathedral. Most Rev. John J. Glennon, archbishop of St. Louis, delivered the sermon. The Tuesday and Wednesday services were broadcast over WWL, Loyola university radio station. A two-day holiday period was declared in honor of the Archbishop by Rev. James A. Greeley, S. J., dean, ' Students May Win Sea Trips Of Virgilians Two summer vacation trips are being offered by the Junior Virgilian society to two of its members for outstanding work, it was announced this week by Charles Foti, newly-elected president. The first trip is to Italy on the Odoera Italian steamship lines, and second is a trip to the Carribean on the regular 12 day cruise offered by the Standard Fruit company. Both trips were made possible through the work of Dr. Vitale Gallina, royal Italian consul at New Orleans. Any student from Loyola, Ursuline, Tulane, Newcomb, or Dominican, who is a member of the Virgilian society is eligible for either of the two trips offered. The Junior Virgilian society is composed of university students from Loyola, Tulane, Ursuline, Newcomb, and Dominican, who are of Italian ancestry or Italian extraction. The purpose of the society is to foster interest in the spoken Italian tongue, in the Italian arts, and in the Italian literature and classics. Charles C. Fotl, junior Loyola dental student, was named president of the society at a meeting this week. Anthony Reese, Loyola, was elected vice-president; Myrtle Palmisano, Newcomb, secretary; Pauline Cabibi, Newcomb, treasurer; and Joseph Failla, Loyola, sergeant-at-arms.The winners of the two trips will be announced next week Foti stated. Durand, Francioni Lecture on Mass Robert Francioni and Gilbert Durand, two members of the Loyola lecture bureau, gave an illustrated lecture last week before Our Lady Star of the Sea Holy Name society. The lecture was given on the Mass upon the invitation of Reverend Father Kerlec, director of the parish society. The Loyola lecture bureau, under the direction of Rev. S. H. Ray, dean of men, is composed of Francioni, Durand, Harild Ainsworth and Harold Cory. The lectures have prepared two illustrated programs of the Mass and the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. During the summer months Cory and Ainsworth are preparing to lecture before parish societies on either of the two subjects. Parish priests wishing for these program may communicate with Father Ray. Lines in Two Languages Run Riot in Actor's Head Talk about stealing another's thunder. It looks as though an ambitious Thespian around here were trying to horn in on some of the notoriety attached to Samuel McNeely for his participation in plays in four different languages. John Schilleci, past president of the Thespians, was succeeded in that office by Sam McNeely, senior arts and sciences student. That put the two on par right away. But McNeely aspired to bigger and better things. No acting in Just one production for him. McNeely decided to act in several plays. He had the stuff, the directors said, and he could do It. He carried leads continuously in past Thespian productions. This year, he was cast in one of the stellar roles in "Basta de Suegros," a Spanish vehicle. Then he portrayed a part in the French Club's version of "Le Monde ou L'on S'Ennuie." Next he carried a role in the Italian play. That made acting in four languages. McNeely thought he'd rest. But then came the call for the polyglot show, to be staged May 28. Joseph Abraham, alumni ot the university, wrote a play In MAROON LEADERS FOR '35'36 EARL F. WEGMANN ALLISON BORNE Council Elections Held Under New Law Install Members And Elect Officers Monday Student Council elections were held in the five colleges of the university Monday under the recently adopted constitutional amendment which provides for more proportionate representation based on enrollment on the var;ous departments. Previously, each class in each college was entitled to one representative only, but under the new amendment, each class is guaranteed one representative while the larger groups are entitled to as many as are in proportion to their respective enrollments.The senior arts and science class elected Thomas Dunn as its only representative. The two junior members chosen were Irvin Timmreck and Cyril Broussard. The sophomore representatives named were Harold Juge and Harold Cory. In the Pharmacy department, Robert Hollier was named senior representative, and Albert Guidry, junior representative. In the Law school, Lawrence Babst automatically succeeded to the senior representation, and Riichard Voelker was chosen to represent the junior class. The college of music picked Louise de Tarnowsky senior representative and Florence Chauvln junior representative. The school of dentistry elected Joseph Schwartz for senior representative and Chris Allenburger for junior representative. Election of officers and installation of recently elected members will be held at a special meeting Monday noon in Bobet Library, according to Charles H. Bailey, retiring president. Lores Goes in For Drawing in Great Big Way With the approaching exaTns most students are pressed with scholastic work, yet there are others who are interested in extra-curricular activities. And we find one who is interested in art for arts' sake. Narcisio A. Lores, pre-dental student, who hails from the ever-revolting country of Cuba, spends his time drawing and designing for various campus organizations. Having completed several posters for student dances and the sodality, Lores is now busy making several designs for the window donated to the university by the Loyola sodalists. Several days ago John J. McCloskey, dean of the school of pharmacy, asked the young artist to design the cover for the new pharmacy publication. Lores appreciated the recognition and told the dean that he would rush the order. When interviewed Lores said that he planned studying art in New Orleans during the summer months. "I will not let art stop my dental work when I finish. Dentistry is very interesting," he answered when asked whether he would rather be a dentist or an artist. When Valderrama, a prominent Cuban artist, saw Lores' collection of paintings he remarked that it was excellently done. The young pre-ftent has made protraits of each member of his family as well as of several Ley ola students. Thus far Lores has had only two years of art training. For one year he attended the Cuban Drawing Association School and during the second year he took lessons under a private teacher in Havana. PHI BETA ENTERTAINS Invitation to a Phi Beta garden party was extended 28 woman students of the College of Music in view of their meritorious scholastic work by Miss Rosalie Duvic, president of the New Orleans City Club of the national sorority. The garden party, which is part of Phi Beta's program to encourage high scholastic endeavor, will be held Saturday afternoon at the home of Mary Scott, 1138 Washington avenue.Carminati Praises Garbo And Prefers His Risotto By Marie Louise Reynolds He admires Garbo most as an actress; he dislikes being rightfully called "Count," and he prefers risotto to any other food. These are the pet likes and dislikes of the Count Di Brambilla, otherwise known as Tullio Carminati, current and dangerous rival of Clark Gable. "I like Hollywood very much," said the "Maestro" of "One Night of Love," as he relaxed comfortably in a huge lounge chair. "It is a place where people are thinking, doing and dreaming of only one thing. Mr. Carminati has just finished making the picture "Paris In Spring" with Mary Ellis of the Metropolitan Opera Company. This picture and "One Night of Love," in which he played with Grace Moore, have musical backgrounds, but Mr. Carminati disdainfully discards the supposition that he has vocal aspirations. He fell In love with New Orleans at first sight, but there were two things need to complete his adoration. "I have not yet found a place where risotto Is served and I have First Ball Opens With March At Yacht Club Junior-Senior Dance Climaxes Social Season Led by the class officers the grand march opened the inaugural junior-senior ball last night at 10:30 at the Southern yacht club. With Leslie George and his orchestra furnishing the music, the members of the classes followed behind the officers for a complete circle of the dance floor. The order of the march was as follows: presidents of the senior classes in the order of the establishment of the respective department of the university, arts and science, dentistry, law, pharmacy and music; presidents of the five junior classes in the same order, followed by the vice presidents, secretaries and treasurers, of the two classes proceeding in the same manner. The ball climaxed a new social policy on the campus and set a goal for the future upper-classes by being the first function of its kind ever held in the university. After weeks of preparation, members of the committee in charge for the ball completed final plans two weeks ago and set the dance off last night in strict formal style. All the members were dressed in white linen and the floor was dec orated appropriately. The spirit of the two upper classes was roused in the beginning of the year when Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., regent, instituted a revised social schedule for the season. The juniors and seniors backed Father I Roy's plans to the climax last night with the inauguration of the annual ball. The new policy of the university had already been extended in the form of better student dances and a sophomore cotillion earlier in the year. Members of the committee In charge of the function were Thos. Dunn, vice-president of the junior class chairman; Charles H. Bailey, president of the senior class; Stephen B. Rodi, president of the junior class; Martin V. Jarreau, chairman of the dance committee; and F. Winter Trapolin, secretary of the senior class. French Club To Get Constitution A committee to draw up a constitution during the summer months and have it ready for adoption by the beginning of next term was appointed by the members of the French club at its last meeting, Hensley L. Lacy, faculty moderator, announced. The committee is composed of John J. McCann, chairman, Julian Michel, and A. P. Schiro. " Election of officers for the French society will not be held until the beginning of the next session, Lacy stated, because of the recent elections which took place about two months ago. At the last regular meeting of the organization, Louis Castillo and Charles Foti were admitted as new members upon the recommendation of Cyril Broussard, president. A party in honor of the closing of the year is being planned by the group for the night of May 29 at the home of Dj. Teburge, according to Lacy. Regular rehearsals for the one-, act play "Les Precieuses Ridicules" which is to be staged as part of the polyglot program on the night of May 28 are. being held under the direction of Mr. Lacy. This program is part of the special commencement week activity fiesta planned by the dean of the university.(Continued on page i) (Continued on page 3) (Continued on page 4) (Continued on page 4) (Continued on page 4) MAY CROWNI SUNDAY LOYOLA STADIUM AT 3

Plantar fasciitis |
Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain.
Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position.
Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners. In addition, people who are overweight, women who are pregnant and those who wear shoes with inadequate support are at risk of plantar fasciitis.

Friday gold puzzle – can you crack it?
Here's a little gold puzzle for you to ponder as you're getting ready for the weekend. See if you can figure it out.
U.S. stocks fluctuate on Fed bets after retail sales, jobs data
U.S. stocks fluctuated, after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index had its biggest loss in a month, as investors weighed whether improving economic data will prompt the Federal Reserve to cut stimulus next week.
Stocks risk a bubble by pushing too high, too fast
The stock market could use a healthy correction soon, before prices start rising at an unsustainable pace.

An event held at the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce facility several weeks ago for then-gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley did not represent an endorsement by the chamber, according to the organization's president, Deborah Outlaw.
When making the rounds with her husband to the Elgin precincts Tuesday night, Nissary Wood had to remember not to get too excited.
With as much as $8 million remaining from bond sources, the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees unanimously approved several school construction projects during its Tuesday meeting.
As I sit down to write this column, I still can't believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. This year has flown by much faster than any other year I can remember.
We appreciate you. We love you. Thank you.
"She's so cute! Come on, how hard could it be?" That's what I thought to myself two weeks ago as I walked through the front door with the newest addition to our family, an 8-week old Labrador retriever mix from the Walter M. Crowe Animal Shelter. And then, within five seconds, our completely adorable new family member pooped on our white carpet. "Clearly," I thought as I immediately began to scrub the carpet, "this was ...
Nissary Wood and David Herndon will face off again in a special election Tuesday for Kershaw County Board of School Trustees Seat 2.
More than 40 years ago, a few dozen acres of vacant land near downtown Camden looked like nothing more than just an open field. But when longtime Camden philanthropist Richard Lloyd looked at it, he saw nearly 200 years of untouched American history buried beneath the ground.
Kershaw County Board of School Trustees candidates Nissary Woods and David Herndon are still locked in a dead heat.
Every other year, politicians say the same thing to their constituents on Election Day: "every vote counts."
Four million dollars is left in the Kershaw County School District's (KCSD) Installment Purchase Plan (IPP) fund. How to use what remains of what was once $102 million for a series of school construction projects was the subject of discussion Monday night for the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees.
Apparently, Willow Smith likes to whip her hair back and forth. And not only that, when she "pulls up" she "whips it real hard." Well, at least that's what she said about a bazillion times in her catchy, addictive and somewhat annoying pop song, aptly titled "Whip My Hair." Since Willow Smith's debut single was "leaked" onto the Internet several weeks ago, she has exploded onto the pop culture scene -- recently signing onto rapper ...

While I've never been one for New Year's Resolutions, I do resolve to waste less food next year.
Image courtesy FoodandYou flickr photostreamFood waste has always been a hot topic in our household. One might think that my husband and I were raised during the Great Depression based on how we respond when good food is thrown out or wasted in our home (while neither of us lived through the Depression we both come from frugal Saskatchewan stock that valued not wasting food).
Eco etiquette: is wasting food a sin? Huffington Post
Our two sons went to Outdoor School with their classes this semester. One of the many things that left an impression on them was the focus on food and food waste. After each meal, every table group (of several children) would gather together all of the food left uneaten on their plates. The goal by the end of the week was to consistently make sure that there was no food gathered—zero food waste. (All four classes succeeded.)
How do we avoid food waste? For me, the most important step is to avoid purchasing too much to start in the first place. Even the smallest amount of meal planning can help individuals or households with buying only the food they will use in a certain time period. Composting organic waste means that leftover food is at least being put to good use. The City of Calgary's Green Cart pilot will begin in March 2012 as four neighbourhoods try to collect their compostable food waste (that would otherwise go into the garbage) into green bins.
Simple lifestyle changes can reduce food waste Calgary Herald
In a world of abundance, food waste is a crime USA Today
I just discovered the University of Calgary Waste Management site, which shows an impressive push to work towards being a net zero waste campus. The same site has a wonderful checklist for anyone who wants to hold a waste free event.
Sometimes, of course, food should be thrown out for safety reasons. How can you be sure? You may want to visit the StillTasty: your ultimate shelf life guide site (or download its iPhone App), which lets you know when to keep and when to toss.
