WLNS-TV is the CBS-affiliated television station for the Central Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Licensed to Lansing, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (or virtual channel 6.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Van Atta Road in Meridian Charter Township. Owned by Media General, WLNS operates ABC/CW affiliate WLAJ-TV (owned by Shield Media, LLC) through joint sales and shared services agreements. The two stations share studios on East Saginaw Street (along U.S. 127/BL I-69/M-43) in Lansing's Eastside section. Syndicated programming on WLNS includes The Insider, Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, and Dr. Phil among others.
The station signed-on May 1, 1950 as WJIM-TV and was owned by Harold F. Gross along with WJIM radio (1240 AM). It is Michigan's second-oldest television station outside Detroit (behind WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids). Gross had started WJIM, the first commercial radio station in Lansing, in 1934 and both stations were named after his son Jim. According to local legend, Gross won the original radio license in a card game.
WJIM-TV originally aired an analog signal on VHF channel 6 from a transmitter from the top of a bank in Downtown Lansing before moving to its current location on Saginaw Street (known as "the country house") in 1953. Gross was skeptical of the success of television, so the new facility was designed as a motel complete with a pool in case the station did not catch on. As it turned out, the pool had very little use except for the occasional employee party.
WJIM-TV originally carried programming from all four major networks: ABC, DuMont, NBC, and CBS; although it was, and always has been, a primary CBS affiliate. ABC disappeared from the schedule in 1958 when WJRT signed-on from Flint. DuMont programming disappeared when the network ceased operations in 1956. NBC disappeared from the schedule in 1959 when WILX signed-on. Thus, at the start of the fall 1959 TV season, WJIM-TV was broadcasting only CBS.
License challenges[edit]
The local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the station's license in 1973 on allegations Gross prevented a number of prominent political figures from appearing on WJIM-TV [1] A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) judge ordered the license revoked in 1981--only the second time a station had its license revoked for violating the FCC's fairness guidelines. The first instance was WLBT-TV in Jackson, Mississippi which lost its license in 1969 due to blatant bias against the Civil Rights Movement. Unlike WLBT, however, WJIM kept its license when the initial revocation was reversed by a three-member review board at the FCC in 1982.
The ACLU would eventually agree to a cash settlement in 1984.
Ownership transfers[edit]
The stress of the decade-long licensing dispute made Gross decide to get out of broadcasting. He sold WJIM-TV, along with WKBT in La Crosse, Wisconsin (which Gross had bought a decade earlier) to Unicom, a unit of Forstmann Little, doing business as Backe Communications soon after the cash settlement was approved. Even after deducting the settlement with the ACLU, Gross netted a handsome return on his original investment of a half-century earlier. The station adopted its current call letters, WLNS-TV, on July 16, 1984.
Unicom's ownership of the station was short-lived; in 1986 it sold WLNS and WKBT to Young Broadcasting.
Young filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early-2009. The company was subsequently taken over by its secured lenders and outsourced most of its operations to Gray Television. WLNS was not part of the management agreement because Gray already owned WILX. Young merged with Media General in 2013.
Flint and Detroit[edit]
Channel 6 doubled as Flint's CBS affiliate for many years. Its signal (the second strongest in Michigan at the time it signed on) decently covers Flint itself and surrounding Genesee County. For many years, it identified on-air as "Lansing/Flint/Jackson". In 1972, Saginaw's WEYI-TV, then the CBS affiliate for the rest of Mid-Michigan, moved its studios and transmitter to Clio, just north of Flint. Until the early-1980s, Flint was served by two CBS stations. However, later in the 1980s, WLNS chose to concentrate more on Lansing. Comcast dropped WLNS from its Flint cable systems as result. However, it is still easily viewable in Flint and Saginaw with a good antenna.
The station's signal also reaches as far as the Detroit area, but this is limited mostly to the northwestern and western suburbs. In the Detroit market, its signal is strongest in fast growing Livingston County, where some parts actually get city-grade coverage. This is because WLNS' transmitter is only ten miles west of the Ingham County line. It is believed that many viewers in Detroit's western suburbs pointed their antennas toward Lansing to pick up Detroit Lions games that were blacked out in Detroit.
For many years, WLNS' programming was seen on a low-powered analog repeater, W67AJ channel 67, in Ann Arbor (which is also part of the Detroit market). This translator was owned by Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. W67AJ's license was canceled in January 2007 by the FCC.[2]

Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
WLNS-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 6, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[4] The station digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 59, which was among the high band UHF channels (52-69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition, to UHF channel 36, using PSIP to display WLNS-TV's virtual channel as 6 on digital television receivers.
WLNS was not allowed to use 36 initially because WJRT-TV was previously using 36 for its digital transmissions. However, on June 12, 2009, that station moved its digital broadcasts to VHF channel 12 allowing WLNS to use UHF channel 36 without causing interference.
News operation[edit]
Traditionally, WLNS had been the most watched television station in Central Michigan regularly beating rival WILX in Nielsen ratings. Sometime in the early-2000s, however, the NBC outlet overtook WLNS for the first time and has maintained a narrow (if not consistent) lead ever since then. Throughout its history, WLAJ has made three attempts to offer Lansing a third option of local newscasts but none of them have ever made any headway in the ratings and/or gained consistent viewership. This is due in part because it was the area's last big three network-affiliated station to launch and compete against well established news departments at WLNS and WILX. Since its weekday noon show was canceled in the late-1990s, WILX has not offered a newscast during the midday hours resulting in WLNS having the only local news program seen in the time slot.
Ironically, unlike most CBS affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, this station does not offer a newscast weeknights at 5:30. Therefore, WSYM is the only option for news during that time (all of the Fox affiliate's news broadcasts are actually produced by WILX through an outsourcing agreement). On January 28, 2011, WILX became the first station in Central Michigan to upgrade local newscasts to high definition level (WSYM would eventually follow on June 13). In July 2011, WLNS began airing all of its news programming from a temporary set in the station's breakroom while a new one was constructed in preparation for its own launch of HD news programing. The brand new set debuted on August 26, 2011 during the 5 p.m. newscast while HD newscasts debuted during the 5 p.m. show on October 26, 2011.
On September 12, 2011, 6 News This Morning expanded to two and a half hours and now begins at 4:30 a.m. As a result the CBS Morning News now airs at 4 a.m. locally. On April 1, 2013, WLNS began simulcasting its weeknight 6 and 11 o'clock newscasts on WLAJ. Their morning newscast started simulcasting (from 5 until 7 a.m.) on WLAJ on April 15 and includes separate, recorded cut-ins during ABC's Good Morning America.[5][6][7] In addition to its main studios, WLNS operates a bureau within the Jackson Citizen Patriot newsroom on South Jackson Street in downtown Jackson.

Health Technology Assessment is a multidisciplinary process that summarises information about the medical, social, economic and ethical issues related to the use of a health technology in a systematic, transparent, unbiased and robust manner. Its purpose is to guide policymakers to make decisions on the adoption of new and existing technologies. This tutorial will introduce the participant to the principles of health technology assessment, describe the methods of economic evaluation, illustrate the unique circumstances surrounding rare disease evidence, provide an overview of the different approaches for assessing rare disease drugs across countries and discuss other factors which may contribute to funding decisions.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this tutorial, participants will have a better understanding of:
• HTA in order to contribute and engage more effectively in future assessments of medicines for rare diseases.
• Have an understanding of the principles and process of health technology assessment. The focus being on the various approaches and application to rare diseases
• Gain knowledge and skills in how various stakeholders, particularly patient organizations can contribute and engage in the process of HTA
Target Audience:

Tutorial Instructors:
Lucia Monaco, Chief Scientific Officer, Fondazione Telethon, Italy
Peter Robinson, Professor of Medical Genomics, Institute of Medical and Human Genetics, Charité, Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Germany
Despite many examples of excellent practice, rare disease research is still mainly fragmented by data type and by disease. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection of detailed clinical information with genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Connect will develop a critical mass for harmonisation and provide a strong impetus for a global "trial-ready" infrastructure ready to support the IRDiRC goals for diagnostics and therapies for rare disease. During this tutorial, participants will gain a greater appreciation of the aims and objectives of RD-Connect and how different users e.g. patients/patient representatives, researchers and industry can best utilise the platform. Specifically, we will discuss topics such as the integration of bioinformatics tools, registries and biobanks into the platform, and also the legal, ethical and regulatory issues that need to be considered.
Learning Objectives:
• Gain a greater understanding of the aims and objectives of the RD-Connect platform.
• Learn how the RD-Connect platform can be utilised by different groups of individuals, e.g.
- How to set up and manage a registry or a biobank for a disease
- How to utilise RD-Connect to study rare disease biospecimen
- How to utilise RD-Connect to plan a rare disease trial
- How to analyse exomes for rare disease diagnostics and novel gene discovery
Target Audience:
This tutorial will be of interest to all those working in the rare disease field who would like to learn more about the RD-Connect platform, in particular clinicians, researchers, patient advocacy groups and industry.

Over the years, Orphanet has developed a broad range of products which are of use for different purposes and/or different types of users. Apart from the information displayed through the website which is now quite well-known, emphasis can be put for example on: review articles that are produced or indexed to the classification of diseases; Orphanews, the newsletter which offers scientific, as well as political, literature survey; the documents of synthesis called 'Orphanet Report Series' dedicated to highlight a specific topic. Resources have also been put on providing the data in a re-usable format in order to foster the interoperability and analysis capacity. This could be useful for research or R&D purposes, as to identify gaps and opportunities in the field of RD, but also in the public health sector, as for example with the OrphaCode which is more and more inserted in the national healthcare information systems. This tutorial is made to show you our current portfolio, how you could contribute to improve its quality and the coverage of data collected and produced by Orphanet and how we could help you to make the best use of this data for your own project.
Learning Objectives:

Some prefer to spend every waking moment of summer getting tan by a body of water. Some (like me) like to relax indoors. During summer, I am a TV marathoner and proud of it. As someone who watched the first season of The Vampire Diaries in 3 days, I count marathoning shows as one of my skills sets. Too bad you can't put that on a resume. The beauty of Netflix is the ability to catch-up on a show as fast as you want. So grab some snacks, get comfortable and watch!
Here are my picks for the shows to watch this summer!
Parks & Recreation
Hands down one of the funniest shows on TV, Parks and Recreation follows the lovably weird Pawnee gang led by Leslie Knope. Watch as the best ensemble cast out there deals with crises like someone growing pot in the community garden, a escaped mini-horse and crazy ex-wives named Tammy.
Sister Wives
I am addicted to reality TV. There's just something great about turning your brain off and watching someone else's drama unfold. Sister Wives is addictive because of the relationships between these four women as they all vie for the attention of one husband. The rampant passive aggressiveness alone makes it worth watching.
Of all the college themed movies and TV shows I've watched, Undeclared is the one that captures the whole experience spot on. The dorm parties, awkward hook-ups and falling asleep in a boring history class are all there, shown in such a realistic way that you will fondly relate. The show also stars many recognizable faces like Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Charlie Hunnam and Amy Poehler.
Hot brothers travel around the country fighting evil at every turn. Do you really need any other reason to watch? Just look at the picture above.
Friday Night Lights
If there is one show that should be required viewing for everyone, this is it. Even if you have never so much as glanced at a football game, you will still love watching the hopes, dreams and fears of all the people in Dillon, Texas.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock brings old world charm to the modern day neurosis we expect from a 21st century genius. Joined by John Watson in the bromace that launched a thousand Tumblr posts, they turn London upside down solving fascinating crimes. You might grow a little anxious as the story goes on waiting for it to finish, but the final moments when the mystery is solved will make you want to immediately re-watch the episode to figure out just how Sherlock did it.
White Collar
There was a time when my roommate and I sat on the couch and watched White Collar for 8 hours straight. If asked, we would say that we loved the show because of the interesting crimes, hilarious relationship between the two lead characters, and fun mischief of it all. But honestly, it was because of Neal Caffrey played by Matt Bomer. I have said it before, and I'll say it again, if we ever figure out how to successfully clone humans we should start with him.
The Tudors
Are you a history nerd who happens to love gorgeous scenery and costumes and even more gorgeous people? Then The Tudors is for you. This 16th century soap opera about Henry VIII's reign mixes politics of the crown with romance, intrigue, family drama and the occasional beheading.
Arrested Development
Arrested Development is more popular than ever thanks to its new season being released on Netflix. The show is obviously hilarious but not for the faint of heart. Its constant in-jokes, misunderstandings and subtle references require multiple viewings. Even if you watch it just to get the references your friends are always making it, do it! You will not be disappointed.
The Walking Dead
You have probably been told time and time again to watch this hugely popular AMC show, so here's your chance. As someone who has can barely sit through the tamest horror movie, I was surprised how much I loved this show. The zombies are constantly there, but it's the dynamics between all these completely different survivors that will keep you watching.
What are your favorite shows to marathon, Lovelies? Any of the ones above?

About This Event
Minimum Age:18+
Doors Open:8:00 PM
Show Time:9:00 PM
An LPR 5th Anniversary Concert
This is a general admission, standing event.
In seven years together, Brooklyn's The Antlers have created a quiet revolution in thought and sound with their harrowing and often haunted tales of love unmoored, human frailty and emotional evisceration.
On Familiars, their fifth album, The Antlers — vocalist / guitarist Peter Silberman, multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci, and drummer Michael Lerner — have resumed the journey they began with 2009's Hospice and continued over the next two albums Burst Apart and Undersea, which found the trio picking their way through a labyrinth of fear, doubt, love and loss against a backdrop of layered textural songs that were as deeply atmospheric as they were anthemic.
More hopeful in mood than its predecessors, the new album emanates a palpable release of despair and an almost operatic verve on nine songs that took shape over the past year and a half.
Familiars moves the Antlers' emotional and spiritual odyssey further, alongside a palette of sounds that soar and retreat under a canopy of electronic trappings and the steady arrhythmic heartbeat of Lerner's unnerving drumming. A choir of funereal horns function as a second voice across the songs.
"I wrote the trumpet arrangements as a sort of emotional antagonist," explains Cicci. "In some ways it acts as more of conscience to an otherwise omniscient narrator. Other times, it's about giving a voice and personality to the dark, unsympathetic nature of reality – as an obstacle to the narrator's quest for enlightenment."
This duality is a persistent force throughout the record, guiding an exploration of the divided self and giving rise to the idea of a Familiar — rather like a guardian angel, your shadow, or your consciousness.
"If there was ever a time when you felt completely lost and you were able to appear to yourself, to give yourself advice and shed light on your situation, what would that be like?" asks Silberman.
Familiars not only shows what that would be like, it demonstrates how that's achieved over the arc of nine songs.
"I wanted to explore that conversation we're constantly having with ourselves throughout our lives. So I began to write and sing as two sides of the same person, as estranged twins trying to find each other in a shared mind, and eventually traveling together through a maze of malleable memories."
"For awhile, I've been focused on what it means to be present, and how difficult that can be, living in a world created by your past. The past can be a comfortingly painful place, and it's easy to get stuck there. In that sense, I think of Familiars as a rescue mission."
It took The Antlers a year and a half to transform that world into a symbolic and musical language. Recorded by the band at their studio in Brooklyn, Familiars represents an evolution in the band's musicianship and creative process.
"I'm not sure we really were having any kind of synchronicity back when we started the record. We came together into that through the recording," says Cicci.
"We became really obsessed with Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda, Charles Mingus' The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady, and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew," he adds. "In the context of starting a record, they represented an almost spiritual self-expression, fugue-like repetition of themes, and the liberation of using pure discovery as a finished work."
"We wanted to connect to the humanity of music from the past," adds Silberman. "To capture grace and the heart within those performances."
So this time around The Antlers made a soul record in the truest sense of the word. Sure, they inundated themselves with Al Green, Nina Simone, and The Memphis Boys, but really they were making music about that mysterious and ineffable part of yourself. The metaphysics behind the physics: They found that they had made a record that was able to express the unseen.

Dave Harrington is that rare musician whose adventurous ears and multi-instrumental chops have taken him well beyond the restrictions of genre and performance into a sort of holistic musical being, a slash-eschewing polyglot. These days, Harrington is best known as one-half of duo DARKSIDE with Nicolas Jaar, as the guitar-and-effects wizard in Jaar's live band, and as an eclectic multi-instrumental performer.
The NYC-bred Harrington's story is marked by obsessive genre-hopping, moving from jazz jam sessions to post-theatrical art productions, from conducting John Zorn's game piece COBRA to playing in Brooklyn indie-rock bands. After meeting electronic producer Nicolas Jaar, Harrington began playing in Jaar's touring band, and the two eventually collaborated on 2011′s DARKSIDE EP, a 3-track slice of slow-moving minimalist funk that garnered rave reviews from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, XLR8R and others. Alongside Jaar and as DARKSIDE, Harrington has toured the world, playing sold-out shows everywhere from Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg to London's Fabric and The Roundhouse, to clubs and venues across the US and Europe, and at festivals including Roskilde, Glastonbury, FYF, Lowlands, Oya, Flow, and Pukkelpop. In between tours, Harrington commands his own outfit, a noisy five-headed beast called EL TOPO, which synthesizes krautrock, drone, exotica, and Italian film scores into something altogether sinister and strange.
At LPR, Harrington will be performing his developing work for solo guitar and electronics. Utilizing an all-analog array of effects, looping, sampling and re-sampling, Dave will craft an improvised set of psychedelic drones, pointillism, and spacious soundscapes.

Planescape: Torment
Rzezio says: Amazing plot, story that will kick you in the nuts and you will just ask for more.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Mercer sophomore goalkeeper Mike Nugent made 16 saves in a return to his hometown as the men's lacrosse team dropped a neutral site meeting with Bellarmine, 13-6 on Saturday afternoon at Milton High School. Mercer completed its regular season with a 7-6 record, while Bellarmine jumped to 7-5 overall. Bellarmine placed 29 of its 51 shots on goal and held Mercer scoreless for over 27 minutes of game time between the second and fourth quarters en route to the win. The Bears fired 36 total shots in the loss, with 21 landing on-goal. Mercer senior Cole Branch and sophomore Chris Baxa each had three points with two goals and an assist. Senior Zack Ward scored Mercer's other goal and finished with two total points. Baxa scored the game's first goal at the 11:26 juncture of the first quarter, but the Knights retaliated with five unanswered scores to go ahead by four midway through the second quarter. Branch scored twice in an 85-second span to trim the deficit to 7-4 before the half, but the Knights clamped down and held the Bears without another goal until the fourth quarter. Baxa and freshman Anssi Kaisalmi scored the game's final two goals, but their effort wasn't enough to complete the comeback. Junior faceoff specialist Justin Evans won 14-of-23 faceoffs while also collecting five ground balls in the losing effort. As a team, the Bears finished with a 32-22 advantage in ground balls. Mercer returns to action hosting the Atlantic Sun Tournament on May 1st-3rd. The top-seeded Bears are set to take on Richmond in the first round at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

I like the gnocchi, but subbed ground sage for nutmeg and that turned out well. Instead of parsnip I used a diced turnip and added turnip greens as well. Everyone loved it. It is a little time consuming, but enough to take away a fork.flag if inappropriate
The gnochhi is fantastic! It does take a lot of time to get them a uniformed size, plan your time wisely.The meal was a hit with dinner guests. Following the recipe as is, my gravy wasn't thick enough, so I made another roux, and slowly added the chicken broth to the roux pan, and it stayed thick. I also added more carrots. It is fantastic!flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe with homemade stock and followed the recipe except for using cup for cup gluten free flour instead of regular flour. The recipe worked perfectly. I like that it's lighter than a normal chicken and dumplings. I do think it was a little flat. Some lemon juice at the end perks things up. Try any left over "dumplings" fried in butter. It's like grilled cheese without the bread. Yum!flag if inappropriate
This is simply a killer recipe - one of the best things I ever ate. Only change I made was to put in the leeks during the time of reducing the liquid - wanted to be sure they were very soft. Could also add more carrots and parsnips, if desired. The gnocchi are time consuming to make, but are so worth it.flag if inappropriate
Best ever!! only I made it with drop biscuits instead of dumplingsflag if inappropriate
Fantastic. Made it just as advertised and I thought the broth was a great coat-the-back-of-the-spoon consistency. And the dumplings! So good. Luckily this makes a bunch and we were able to freeze the extras.flag if inappropriate
Absolutely loved everything EXCEPT the dumplings. They were too soft and mushy for our tastes. Much prefer the ones that are more like big noodles. Will definitely make this again but will change out with a more traditional dumpling.flag if inappropriate
absolutely divine. the gnochhi can handle the broth and stays moist and delicious. great to bring to a friend who needs a Bowl full of Love.flag if inappropriate
I served this for a family dinner this past weekend, and it seemed to be very well received! I read people's concerns regarding the thinness of the broth beforehand, and decided to use one less cup of chicken stock. Moreover, I made my roux with a combination of flour and corn starch, and allowed it to reduce longer than specified. Those two things seemed to make a difference. The dumplings were an absolute hit. The nutmeg is certainly an interesting touch! I would definitely make this dish again.flag if inappropriate
The gravy was too thin, but the flavor was great. I cooked the chicken with a quartered clove-studed onion, a carrot, and a celery stalk in addition to two sprigs of thyme and a healthy pinch of red pepper flakes. I removed all of it when I cooked down the broth. The dumplings were heavenly.flag if inappropriate

Glucerna Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Glucerna SR is a diet supplement aimed at diabetes sufferers made by Abbott Labs. Glucerna SR comes in several forms including shakes, powders, bars, and chews. These are sold as meal replacements that manage glucose levels and improve lipid levels.
Glucerna cannot be purchased directly from the manufacturer's website but appears to be widely available in pharmacies and grocery stores. The website does offer a discount coupon to try the product. There does not appear to be any free samples or trial sizes so that consumers can try out the product first.
The website is informative and easy to navigate. The company provides details of active ingredients in the Glucerna products and references them to clinical studies supporting their effectiveness. They also provide a full description of the purpose of each of the ingredients in the formulation. A full ingredient list is provided for each product along with the Nutrition Facts label. There is also a page for customer testimonials for all of the products.
According to the Glucerna website, some of the common active ingredients in the Glucerna products are: chromium picolinate, omega-3 fatty acids, sucromalt, DAG oil, phytosterols, whole grains, and Vitamins C & E.
Product Features
The main purpose of Glucerna products is to help those with diabetes eat healthy with better management of blood glucose levels than with regular snacks. A side benefit is that many physicians and nutritionists believe that if blood glucose levels are moderated, the body stores less fat. This feature of Glucerna may help in weight management in those with diabetes and even those without.
The ingredients in the Glucerna products are similar to those in many nutritional supplements. The addition of Vitamins C & E provides anti-oxidants which can improve overall health by destroying the free radicals that can cause disease in the body. The whole grains ensure that the products contain fiber and they also regulate blood glucose.
- Healthy snacks for those with diabetes.
- Readily available for purchase.
- Contains some vitamins.
- Pre-made food products are more expensive than homemade.
- Not specifically targeted to weight management in diabetes sufferers.
Glucerna SR products are handy ways for those with diabetes to help manage their condition while providing healthy snack alternatives. Glucerna SR products may also help those trying to lose weight, but as the products are not specifically designed for that purpose, they may contain more than the recommended calories for weight loss. There are many weight loss aids on the market today that contain clinically proven ingredients like green tea extract and Citrimax. If weight loss is your primary goal, you may wish to research these products before trying Glucerna.

THE REACH OF WAR: INSURGENCY; U.S. Aides Say Kin of Hussein Aid Insurgency
By DOUGLAS JEHL
Published: July 5, 2004
WASHINGTON, July 4— A network of Saddam Hussein's cousins, operating in part from Syria and Jordan, is actively involved in the smuggling of guns, people and money into Iraq to support the anti-American insurgency, say American government officials and a prominent Iraqi.
The operations involve at least three cousins from the Majid family who now live in Syria and in Europe, the American officials said. A leading figure among them is Fatiq Suleiman al-Majid, a cousin of Mr. Hussein's and a former officer in Iraq's Special Security Organization who fled from Iraq to Syria last spring and may still be living there.
The view that the cousins are helping finance the insurgency developed fairly recently and is described in intelligence reports, the American officials say. They said the conclusion was based in part on suspicious recent movements of money and goods, including the transfer of cash into Syria, that were detected by American intelligence.
Still, the military and intelligence officials have acknowledged that a significant component of the resistance, including some of its foot soldiers, comes from Iraqis without ties to Mr. Hussein's government.
Mr. Hussein's family has a history of intermarriage with the Majid clan; his own full name is Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti.
Under his government, the Majid family was a particularly feared branch of the ruling Tikriti tribe. Its members played prominent roles in the day-to-day operations of the country's state security apparatus, as bodyguards, enforcers and secret-police chiefs, and the cousins who now live outside Iraq have access to tens of millions of dollars, much of it derived from smuggling oil, military equipment and other goods in and out of Iraq under Mr. Hussein, the American officials said.
Fatiq al-Majid, said to be in his 30's and described as ''a main money man'' in the operation, has been living in Syria with the knowledge of the Syrian authorities, American officials said. In addition to being Mr. Hussein's cousin, he was a brother-in-law of Mr. Hussein's son Qusay and is a nephew of Ali Hassan al-Majid, the general who became known as Chemical Ali for gassing thousands of Kurds in the 1980's.
The prominent Iraqi who provided information about the network aiding the insurgency, Samir Shaker Mahmoud al-Sumeidi, was a member of the Iraqi Governing Council. He served briefly this spring as interior minister and was responsible for security. He recently described another Majid, Izzadin, as ''now financing a lot of the activities of the insurgents.''
The statement by Mr. Sumeidi, at an appearance in Washington last month, was the first public reference to the concerns about the role played by the Majid family.
In response to inquiries about Mr. Sumeidi's statement and about other information provided by former intelligence officials, American officials confirmed that intelligence reports had provided information linking Izzadin al-Majid, Fatiq al-Majid and at least one other member of the family, along with some associates, to operations in support of the Iraqi insurgency.
The American officials declined to speak publicly about the information because the intelligence reports in which it is spelled out are classified.
In 1995, Izzadin al-Majid, then a major in the Republican Guard, fled Iraq with a group that included his cousin Hussein Kamel al-Majid, a son-in-law of Mr. Hussein's. Hussein Kamel and a brother who had also fled returned to Iraq in 1996, and were killed there, leaving Izzadin al-Majid in control of a large portion of the family's assets, the American officials said. He was granted asylum in Britain in 2000, and has since maintained a home in Leeds.
His involvement after leaving Iraq in smuggling operations that involved members of Mr. Hussein's government suggest that he maintained close ties there, a former intelligence official said.
American officials say Izzadin al-Majid now travels frequently between Europe, Jordan and Iraq. In a brief telephone conversation from Europe, he dismissed the accusations of involvement in the insurgency as groundless and said he had last seen his cousin Fatiq in 1994, though he had spoken to him last year by phone.
The American officials identified the third family member as Ezz al-Dain al-Majidi al-Tikriti, another cousin of Hussein Kamel, who they said owned a printing plant and had access to black-market wealth.
The indication that exiles linked to the former Iraqi government are helping to finance, recruit and organize the insurgency adds a new dimension to a picture that has been sketched in recent months by a broad range of military and intelligence officers.
In recent days, several senior military and diplomatic officials have said there is limited intelligence on the command and control -- the ''central nervous system,'' as some called it -- of the Iraqi resistance.
According to the general understanding, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian militant, and his followers are now regarded as the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq, and have been blamed for most major bombings. But the larger core of the insurgency, involving as many as 5,000 fighters and responsible for many more attacks, is seen as being organized and directed by former Iraqi officials and those they can enlist to carry out attacks, who may sometimes include foreign fighters.

Lucky Rainbow Cereal Pops!
Want to make a super duper easy pop for the kids on St. Patrick's Day? We made some that take no time at all using pre-made cereal bars!
We used Fruity Pebbles and Lucky Charms cereal bars and cut them in half. Push them on a lollipop stick. We made a shamrock on the rainbow side of the Fruity Pebbles bar with green colored cookie frosting. We made a zig zag with our green frosting on the white frosted side of the Lucky Charms bar and made a shamrock out of heart cereal that we had on hand. Quaker makes the heart cereal and my 1 year old loves that stuff! They taste a little better than Cheerios...but kind of the same.
My boys really liked these! These are so easy to make and would be great for class party!
Linking up to these awesome link parties...please check them out!

Eugene drafts 10-year plan for public art
EUGENE, Ore. -- A group of artists and city leaders in Eugene are putting the finishing touches on a 10-year plan for public art.
The group is funded through a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. City leaders have used that money to hire a consultant -- Barney & Worth, Inc. of Portland -- and research ways to "weave art into the fabric of the community."
Already, Eugene has 198 pieces of public art, from the dancing frogs at the Hult Center to the Ken Kesey statue downtown and the "Big Red" sculpture underneath the Washington-Jefferson Bridge.
"People said they want to see more of it in the parks, more of it in their neighborhoods. People want it where they walk," said Mary Unruh, director of Downtown Initiative for Visual Arts (DIVA) and a member of the committee drafting the public art plan.
The first works of public art in Eugene were created during the summer of 1974. That year, Eugene held a symposium on sculpture that drew artists from all over the country.
The piece known as "Big Red" is among those works.
Since then, Eugene has tried to expand public art through what's called the "percent-for-art" fee.
That fee, established in 1981, is attached to major public construction projects, and the money is used for sculptures, murals, paintings and other public art.
But having public art funding tied to construction poses a problem for arts supporters. There's only new art when there is new construction, and with the downturn in the economy, few new projects are being created.
The consultant's report found that Eugene dedicates fewer resources to public art than many comparable cities, which have an average of two city personell dedicated to public art. Eugene has several employees who work part-time on public art initiatives.
"A lot of the midsized cities have a budget of about $300,000. Our budget, well, we don't really have one," said Theresa Sizemore, the events manager at the city-owned Hult Center and a coordinator for the art plan.
One goal of the plan is to establish a vision for public art that can be used to convince donors to support various projects.
"When you have that consistent funding, you can leverage that funding with grants, foundations, private donors. Then you actually have a very viable program," Sizemore said.
The plan also calls for more ambitious works and greater diversity of projects. Some critics of Eugene's public art have said the city has an abundance of bronze sculptures of well-known people -- including Ken Kesey, Rosa Parks, Eugene Skinner -- and should try something new.
Supporters point to the downtown Eugene Public Library as an example of "doing it right." The library features an array of art, from stained glass windows to a funky wood-and-metal structure that tells the story of "Three Billy Goats Gruff."
"It's one of our shining examples," Sizemore said.
Isaac Marquez, the city's recently-hired visual arts coordinator, said he envisions Eugene becoming a stand-out city for public art in the next ten years.
"Upon coming into Eugene, you'll see art at all the major gateways, so we really make a statement to the visitor," he said. "You may even see temporary exhibits through the summer where you can come out and enjoy with your family."
Arts supporters said they involved some 400 community members in the planning process.

Dr. Betsy Bao-Thu Nguyen's Ratings
Dr Nguyen performed cataract surgery on my right eye. Cataract surgery on my left eye was performed by another doctor. Dr.Nguyen is much more knowledgeable and skilled than the other doctor and the results of the operation were much better--perfect. As a result of experiencing two operations by two different doctors and being able to constrast average medical care (the first surgery) with Dr.Nguyen's excellent care, without reservation I highly recommend Dr.Nguyen.

I wish Dr. Nguyen specialized in everything. My Grandpa loved her, my grandma loves her, my mom loves her, I love her, and my husband thinks she's so great too. I always feel like she cares about your condition and just you as a person. Each visit is enjoyable and makes the irritation of dilated eyes a little less annoying. She has performed excellent surgery on many of my family members. I would trust her to do any procedure.

Now that the Timberwolves have seeming addressed their shooting issue by retaining Chase Budinger and bringing Kevin Martin into the fold, the team will look to round out their bench. Without much more than a few million in cap space remaining, any help the team will be seeking will have to be of the bargain kind. One of those names that's out there and was mentioned by ESPN 1500's Darren Wolfson was Clippers free agent Matt Barnes.
Maybe I'll get my wish: Per source, there has been contact between Flip/the #Twolves and Matt Barnes' camp.
— Darren Wolfson (@DarrenWolfson) July 3, 2013
Matt Barnes played briefly for Rick Adelman in Sacramento. Adelman would like to have him again. I say he'd be a great fit. #twolves
— Darren Wolfson (@DarrenWolfson) July 3, 2013
Barnes is one of those players that manages to sneak under the radar despite being a valuable rotation player just about every season. Despite playing for eight teams in ten seasons, he is a career .451/.331/.730 shooter who has never made more than $3 million in one season, so he would likely be affordable as well. Additionally, it will help that he has had very little in the way of an injury history and is still capable of being a 20-25 minute per game player if it came down to that.
According to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN Los Angeles, the Clippers would be hard-pressed to bring in free agent Carl Landry and retain Barnes, giving the Wolves somewhat of an advantage. It's not as if Barnes would command much of a raise from his '13 salary of $1.2 million since he took a $7 million dollar paycut from 2012, so it's not as if there would be some major bidding war here, and the Timberwolves would be able to save some space.
Should the Timberwolves go further into talks with Barnes and ink a deal, this is rough idea of what the roster would look like, not necessarily in any particular order:
C: Nikola Pekovic/Gorgui Dieng/Chris Johnson
PF: Kevin Love/ Dante Cunningham/Derrick Williams
SF: Chase Budinger/Derrick Williams/Matt Barnes/Shabazz Muhammad
SG: Kevin Martin/Shabazz Muhammad/Alexey Shved
PG: Ricky Rubio/Luke Ridnour/J.J. Barea/Alexey Shved
Of course, a lot of this could change and several players are likely interchangeable from position-to-position, but this is a seemingly deep team, especially if Muhammad can contribute even semi-consistently. As for Barnes, he would be able to perform in a similar role in Minnesota with Rubio as he did in Los Angeles with Chris Paul by getting open and waiting for the pass. In fact, Barnes shot .345 percent from three and was assisted on those .941 percent of the time, so he won't try to do too much.
In particular you can see Barnes shot very well from the left side of the floor from beyond the arc and was an effective midrange shooter within the arc from the right side. If players like Martin (Click the link, DO IT), Budinger, and Muhammad are effective from range, Barnes' efficiency will be just that much more valuable. Really, it would only diversify what should already be a pretty potent offense if they were to bring Barnes on.
More than that Barnes is a decent rebounder for his position with an average Usage Rate and also doesn't commit too many turnovers. At a salary around what he made last and on a short-term deal Barnes could really be a terrific fit for what the Timberwolves are trying to do as they work to finalize the roster before next season. I also decided that Matt Barnes is the hill I'd rather die on, instead of Nick Young.

Tomato Matzo Balls
- 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2-3/4 cup matzo ball mix (usually 1-1 1/2 bags out of a box)
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and the oil. Add the tomato paste into the egg mixture. Whisk to incorporate fully. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup (1 bag) of the matzo ball mix. Stir in with a fork, mixing as little as possible. Don't overwork it. Chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water or chicken stock to a boil.
Wet your hands in a bowl of cold water. Using your hand, and manipulating as little as possible, scoop out a ping-pong-ball size of the mixture, adding more matzo ball mix or matzo meal as needed. Form into a ball with your fingertips, using no real pressure. Bring the water down to a simmer. Drop the balls into the water. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.

Zygi Wilf declines postgame comment, veterans want Leslie Frazier back
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS - Questions and speculation over head coach Leslie Frazier's future with the Vikings swirled Sunday at the Metrodome's final game. Answers, meanwhile, were hard to come by.
Reports have surfaced that Frazier will not return for the final year of his contract, following a 5-10-1 season. Vikings owner Zygi Wilf declined to comment Sunday.
"I have nothing to say, I'm going to enjoy -- we're all going to enjoy this win and move on," Wilf said. He said he'd prefer to focus on the final game of the Metrodome. "Basically I want to focus on that part of it because being here as our home it's very emotional and I'm very glad we left on a good note," Wilf said.
He ignored further questions and Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman also declined to comment.
Players, on the other hand, were not shy about their support of Frazier returning.
Adrian Peterson said he's spoken briefly with the Wilf family to lobby for Frazier. He said he plans to sit down Monday and talk in greater length.
"He's a great guy," Peterson said of Frazier. "He's a great coach and even a better human being. That's what I love about him the most.
"This season, man, it's been tough. Five or six games we lost in the last seconds of the game. And that changes the whole dynamic when it comes to decisions that are about to be made. I try to voice my opinion. They see that as well, the Wilfs."
"They're going to do what's best for the organization. The only thing I can do is tell them how I feel," Peterson said.
That conversation won't exclusively focus on Frazier, Peterson said. He added that he also plans to address the team's plan in other areas going forward.
Frazier said he's not sure how soon his situation will be resolved, but noted that he and his staff have contracts through next season and hopes "that the Wilf family will honor that and give us a chance to come back next season and try and get our quarterback situation fixed, try to get the depth of our roster along with some other that need to be fixed.
"I hope they'll give this staff the chance to finish what we've gotten started. We're only a season removed from the playoffs. I think our guys are still playing hard and we're under contract. We'll see," Frazier said.
Other players with vocal support of Frazier included veterans Kevin Williams, Chad Greenway, Brian Robison and Christian Ponder.
"He's been consistent with his message," Greenway said. "It kept us together through the season. For Coach, we're going to have his back."
Williams said he doesn't think the team ever gave in, despite the crummy season. "The games haven't gone the way we've wanted them to, but we have to continue to fight and do your responsibility, be where you're supposed to be, do your job and that's one thing we've hung our hat on and played hard all year," Williams said.
One theme players offered to Frazier's credit is his message and teaching ability. When the season fell off the rails early on from a playoff contention standpoint, Frazier didn't waver, players said.
"When you sit there and you listen to him talk and not do it every time we're in meetings, you're always gaining great knowledge from him," Peterson said of Frazier. "A lot of people like the rah-rah type guy. I'm more about words and what's being said. No matter how it's said, you can hold on to it and learn from it. He does a great job of being a teacher. I feel like that's what this organization needs."

History books will tell you that fur trading played a big role in the settling of North America. There's a reason that Canada put a beaver on its nickle: As European fashion demanded beaver hats, the New World, in its infancy, answered with pelts in abundance. But over the centuries, the fur economy for trappers in places like Maine has been boom and bust, as consumers fell in and out of love with fur, and wrestled with questions over the ethics of the industry. But, as Jennifer Mitchell reports, fur is booming once again, and this time, Maine trappers and fur sellers are looking to the East.
(Audio of Russian music): That's the sound of a fashion show in Moscow. Marching down the runway is a collection by Russian designer Igor Gulyaev. Every single piece has fur on it. There are enormous plush hats and cuffs, shaggy hand bags, and fuzzy lapels. There are even whole dresses made of fur sheared short like velvet. It's a snapshot of what the fur market looks like today.
"You can't keep fur in stock in Russia, you know - it moves out, and the higher the price tag you put on it, the faster it sells," says Greg Tinder (above), who owns Tsarevich Couture in Northport, Maine.
Tinder says business is better than it's been in 20 years. He's a furrier and self-described Russo-phile. Eastern Europe, he says, has always had a fondness for fur. But now, with Russia's more globalized economy and predictions of steady growth, the country is one of several in the East where a new fur-loving middle class is rising.
And these consumers are pushing up global demand for the commodity. "I was just flipping through the November issue of "W" over here, and fur is on, like, every third page," Tinder says.
And that's just one fashion magazine. British Vogue estimates that about 70 percent of the fall 2013 collections from A-list designers incorporated at least some fur - to the dismay of animal welfare advocates. Fur is also making its way to department store aisles throughout China and Korea.
Pierre Grzybowski is the research and enforcement manager for the Fur-Free Campaign with the Humane Society of the United States.
"Millions and millions of people that suddenly have disposable income, perhaps for the first time in their life, and a market economy where they can buy luxury goods, so there is no doubt that fur consumption internally in China is unfortunately increasing," Grzybowski says.
Trappers, left to right, John Sewell, Richard Corbett and Rick Crowe from Princeton, Maine looking at their catch.
All this international demand for fur is having an effect on Maine trappers, such as Richard Corbett of Grand Lake Stream. He's been trapping and selling furs for 60 years. Prices, he says, have never been better. "I mean, you're talking $12, $13 muskrat - and otter, probably running $100, $150."
By comparison, 10 years ago, a muskrat was worth maybe $2 or $3. A coyote might have brought $7. Today a good one will get you $50. And the marten that was worth about $40 ten years ago, could bring close to $200 in today's fur market.
All this might seem a far cry from the early 90'S launch of the "I'd Rather Go Naked" campaigns, featuring high-profile supermodels and other icons of fashion publicly denouncing fur. Since then several designers, such as Giorgio Armani, who had pledged not to use fur, have reneged on that promise.
They now find themselves on the front lines of a new battle over fur. Pierre Grzybowski, with HSUS, says his group is working with animal advocates across the world to combat the trend, "trying to raise awareness about how animals are skinned alive, foxes are anally electrocuted, the amount of suffering that can go on in an animal left in a trap for multiple days," he says. "All the countries are covered, but some certainly need a lot more work, including China and Russia."
Meanwhile, the resurgence in fur sales has fueled an interest in trapping. "Right now, there's a boom in trappers - not just trapping, but trappers. There's a lot of trappers," says fur trapper and trader Rick Crowe, who teaches a trappers' education class in eastern Maine. Two years ago, his class had, maybe, 10 people in it. "Last one I taught had 50 people in it," he says.
Last year, total world retail fur sales were over $15.5 billion - that's billion with a "B" - and a 45 percent increase over sales 10 years ago. That's just retail. It's not clear what the total real impact of the industry is - from trapping, farming, and related sales.
But animal welfare advocates like Pierre Grzybowski say fur lobbyists tend to inflate the popularity of fur. He says that while worldwide markets are up, fur sales in the U.S. are down by a third, and hundreds of mid-level retailers, such as JC Penney and Abercromie & Fitch, still refuse to sell it.

We were all new to the internet once.
If you're reading this then you're probably not, anymore. And you're probably getting asked questions by people who are, or aren't willing to go search for readily available answers themselves. I'm guilty of encouraging this behaviour by answering questions.
If you're a power searcher, or other people think you are, and you're getting tired of constant requests for answers to questions that a quick Google search would provide, try Let me google that for you. Enter a search term, click the Google Search button, and a link appears that you can copy, paste and send to your friend. When they click the link, an animation displays the complicated process of searching Google for information, and then directs the user to the actual search results page from Google.
Snarky? Yes. However, the time the user is forced to study the search term you used, they might pick up a trick or two in keyword syntax, search operators, literal strings and the like. After all, give a man an answer, and he'll come back tomorrow asking for more. Teach a man to search Google, and you'll have to offer tech support when he ends up downloading malware while cruising shadier purveyors of adult entertainment and file sharing software.
So, I resolve to no longer answer questions that don't actually teach the person how to find answers on their own. I resolve to try to better humanity by getting people to learn on their own instead of just mindlessly blabbering about. Too bad this doesn't actually work where it's needed most – on Youtube comments. Oh well.
EDIT: This can be extrapolated to almost anything in life. Which in turn will make you damn ***hole, really.
"Excuse me, Sir – where can I find Hotel Del Coronado?"
"Why didn't you get a mobile phone that you could google it on instead of asking questions from random strangers?"
…and that's not really the kind of world I want to live in. But do a little bit of looking on your own, spending about as much time as you're asking me to spend on answering whatever question you have – and in return I'll try my best (and fail) to look around myself a bit before asking questions. We're trying not to needlessly inconvenience people, here.
Same thing goes with addons and mods. I'm not going to upload a package of mods just b/c people ask me to. I'll tell you which ones I choose and why and show you a bit of how I use them – and tell you where I found them. Then you can go learn yourself from the SME's – the Subject Matter Experts. I'm not that guy. Then on patch day when it all breaks and goes to hell you'll turn to them instead of me, and you'll be better prepared for dealing with issues, and know about alternatives already. So, magically you've learned some stuff and I get to not be bothered needlessly about stuff I don't know about. Yeay. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN.
Yes, I'm a bit of harsh, arrogant, grumpy person. Hence the "Grumpybear" in the blog tagline. Or the "Cold" part of "Coldbear".
True vent story:
"Dude, I don't care, I really don't." (or similar)
"Maaan, that's cold, man. That's cold."
"No ****, Sherlock – hence the name COLDbear, duh."
"Awwww… ****."
"Yeah, he got you man, his name really is COLD. Bear."

Even the French get props from McCain and Butters:
This achievement was made possible first and foremost by the struggle and sacrifice of countless Libyans, whose courage and perseverance we applaud. We also commend our British, French, and other allies, as well as our Arab partners, especially Qatar and the UAE, for their leadership in this conflict. Americans can be proud of the role our country has played in helping to defeat Qaddafi, but we regret that this success was so long in coming due to the failure of the United States to employ the full weight of our airpower.

We have every incentive to reduce the number [of nuclear weapons]. These are expensive. They take away from soldier pay. They take away from [operations and maintenance]. They take away from lots of things. There is no incentive to keep more than you believe you need for the security of the Nation.
"We simply don't need, and we can't afford to have and continue to produce all of these nuclear weapons that will, more than likely, never be used. They are a good deterrent and they have been an effective deterrent. Thank God for that. But the Cold War is over, and we are in a position today where we must reduce the size of our nuclear weapons force."
"You don't need thousands of these weapons. A couple hundred, frankly, could take out Iran and almost any country you can imagine. So, again, we can't afford to do everything. We are in an era where we're dealing with terrorists, and we need to have special forces that can be utilized. We need to have these very effective drones. We need to look at the threats that are out there today and equip our military accordingly."
The actual existing threats to our two countries [America and Russia] (and the globe) cannot be resolved by using our nuclear arsenals. No sensible argument has been put forward for using nuclear weapons to solve any of the major 21st century problems we face -- threats posed by rogue states, failed states, proliferation, regional conflicts, terrorism, cyber warfare, organized crime, drug trafficking, conflict-driven mass migration of refuges, epidemics, or climate change.
"Sanctioning the Central Bank would punish ordinary Iranians, something the Obama administration has said it wants to avoid, and could undermine what had been a growing international consensus against the Iranian nuclear program. It could also jack up oil prices at a time when the global economy is teetering on the verge of a second recession."
"Iran is more politically and economically isolated than ever before, but for sanctions to work they must be part of a balanced strategy with incentives for cooperation. The sanctioned party must also trust that sanctions will be lifted if it cooperates. Current U.S. strategy is heavy on sanctions and light on positive incentives. Lacking this balance, stalemate with Iran persists.
The U.S. needs to ease off threats of crippling sanctions and holster counter-productive military threats. These only strengthen the position of Iran's hardliners, who oppose engagement. Instead of adding pressure, negotiators need to communicate a sequence of actions that the Iranian regime can take over time in exchange for the gradual lifting of sanctions."
