Why am I getting dizzy and light headed?
Constance S Asked: Why am I getting dizzy and light headed?
I have never had this problem before and its really scaring me. if I turn my head to the right,up,or down I get very dizzy and feel sick. Sometimes I get very light headed and feel like I'm going to pass out. And I have been starting to have depression and anxiety for no reason. My doctor put me on high blood pressure and thyroid meds a year ago and last month stupid me was taking two blood pressure pills (metoprolol tartrate 50mg) and not taking my thyroid meds (levothyroxine 50mg) at all…not on purpose. could that have something to do with it? I've read it could be a ear infection,but my ears don't hurt. I also read it could mean I'm pregnant? That is possible but I highly doubt it, and if I was it wouldn't be more than 2 months but like I said I highly doubt it I think its going to be hard for me to get pregnant because I have been trying for awhile now.
P.S. I had my blood checked last year and everything was excellent besides having low thyroid

I am just starting out with road cycling, and I want to get a bike, but I am so confused about what to buy.
How do I select well, and can I get some advice on what are good bikes for the beginer. I do wish to eventually enter road races, and potentially triathalons. Not looking for touring though.
I noticed the Cannodale R600. I am a fan of Cannondale since I got my moutain bike, but I really am completely novice...I didn't choose the mountain bike, I won it so I have never been through the selection process for a good bike before.
Budget, of course, is somewhat of an issue. I don't think that at my stage and experience level it would be smart for me to spend more than $1,200 to $1,500.

Melo is going to D-league and won't make the 12 man roster (probably contract not extended unless he shows drastic improvement this year), Iverson to Turkey, so Fav is in with 4 other PF listed. Probably one of those 5 big men is the odd man out in terms of playing time if no trade is done. I suspect that would be Bass unless Oly really has hard time getting going.
The bigger log jam is at SG. It is quite wide open. I would not say Avery deserves the most playing time at this point if he can only do what he did at the end of last season.

Dunst's bad boyfriendsKirsten Dunst has confessed she's been treated atrociously by past boyfriends.
The 'Spider-Man 2' star admits she has put up with hurtful behaviour from previous partners but believes most women do at some stage.
Dunst said: "I've put myself through really bad things before. I think every girl has gone through a sh**ty boyfriend who treats them like crap."
However the beautiful actress is now dating Jake Gyllenhaal and insists she has never been happier.
Despite previous bad relationships the 22-year-old actress was not put off from dating the heartthrob actor.
Instead Dunst believes she has learnt a lot from her past romances.
She explained to Britain's OK magazine: "You learn from every relationship, but when it feels safe it's scary because it feels so normal and you're comfortable."

PHILADELPHIA -- Enrique G. Mendoza, a scholar of international macroeconomics, has been named a Presidential Term Professor of Economics in the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, effective Jan. 1.
The announcement was made today by Penn President Amy Gutmann and Provost Vincent Price.
"As an internationally recognized scholar on macroeconomics and finance," Gutmann said, "Enrique Mendoza has advised leaders and policymakers around the nation and the world on the complex economic issues confronting our world today. He brings to Penn a vast range of expertise and scholarship on many of the key challenges brought on by an ever more global and interconnected world economy."
Mendoza is currently Neil Moskowitz Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, where he has taught since 2002. He previously taught at Duke University and served for several years as an economist for the International Monetary Fund and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He has also been a consultant, visiting professor and resident scholar at a wide range of international universities, banks and economic organizations.
His research in international macroeconomics provides critical insights for scholars, researchers and policy makers across such areas as business cycles in emerging market economies, sovereign debt and default in developing countries and the implications of America's trade deficit.
"Enrique Mendoza is one of the most important international scholars at the crossroads of economics, politics and global engagement," Price said. "His work will advance multiple disciplines of intellectual inquiry on our campus. In particular, it will expand our expertise in both global macroeconomics and public policy, two of the most essential areas of contemporary economics."
Presidential Term Professorships, supported in part by a $2 million grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts, are awarded to exceptional scholars, of any rank, who contribute to faculty eminence through diversity across the University.
"The appointment of Enrique Mendoza adds important new expertise to our outstanding Department of Economics," said Rebecca Bushnell, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. "He is also an award-winning teacher who will be able to share that expertise with students in some of our largest undergraduate and graduate programs."
Mendoza earned a Ph.D. in 1989 and an M. A. in 1986 in economics from the University of Western Ontario and a B.A. with honors in economics in 1985 from Anahuac University in Mexico City.

Buy Your Next Suit From Bruce.
At Bruce Julian Clothier, we have been tailoring suits to perfection longer than many so called men's retailers have been around. They have warehouses full of hundreds of suits just like the one they want you to buy, while we limit our inventory to make our customers unique.
If you want that tailored look, Bruce Julian Clothier is where you need to shop. We have suits that range from conservative and professional to fashion forward and everything in between.
Often the difference between men's clothing comes down to the details. Things like working buttons, contrasting thread, a pocket variation, etc. At Bruce Julian Clothier we have it all.
Obviously the most important thing about any suit is the fit and we have decades of experience making suits look exceptional on any body type. This experience is what matters and it is one more thing that sets us apart from our competition.
We also have tuxedo and formal wear options for those times when you must make the best impression! Bruce Julian Clothier will help make your next event, wedding, gala, or formal dinner your favorite... because you will look amazing!

Slim Fit Suits & Athletic Fit Suits
We have helped bring the trim fit suit to Charlotte and we can make sure you look your best even if you are a difficult fit for other stores. The slim fit suit is a trend that started in Europe and has slowly made its way across the pond. We have a wide selection of trim fit suits to make you look your best. Athletic guys usually have broader shoulders and a narrower waist which can be a challenge for traditional mens retailers. Not so at Bruce Julian Clothiers.

I'm reviewing another show for next week's issue of CityBeat, but on a few nights ago I saw the final rehearsal of New Edgecliff Theatre's staging of Peter Shaffer's Equus. This is one you'll want to catch, and since this is the opening weekend, now's the time to do so — once this is reviewed by others and the buzz gets going, it will be hard to get tickets for the tiny Columbia Performance Center (3900 Eastern Ave., Columbia-Tusculum).
The play dates back to 1973, but it feels as immediate and real as one that's just been written. It's a gut-wrenching tale of a psychologist who's going through something of an existential crisis himself when he's asked to take on the strange case of a boy who has blinded a stable full of horses.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE WORLD SERIES: LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 3, FLORIDA 2; Gators Upset on Eighth-Inning Homer an Early Lead Slips Away from the Top-Seeded Florida Softball Team
Diferdinando, Mike, The Florida Times Union
Byline: MIKE DIFERDINANDO
OKLAHOMA CITY -- All Florida center fielder Kim Waleszonia could do was watch as the ball flew over her head and the game fell out of reach.
Holly Tankersley blasted the game-winning home run in the top of the eighth inning, helping Louisiana-Lafayette knock off top-seeded UF 3-2 on Thursday afternoon at Hall of Fame Stadium to open the Women's College World Series.
Tankersley, an All-American outfielder for the Ragin' Cajuns (52-13), has 22 home runs this season.
"Honestly, I just closed my eyes and swung," she said.
Gators coach Tim Walton said his team's inability to make in-game adjustments contributed to the loss.
"At this level, you have to get it done," Walton said. "You have to make adjustments, and we didn't do that."
Things looked good for UF (67-4) early in the game.
In the second inning, Corrie Brooks ripped an RBI double down the left-field line to drive in freshman Tiffany DeFelice, who had hit a leadoff single, her first in postseason play. In the bottom of the fourth, Aja Paculba hit an RBI double down the left-field line to put the Gators ahead 2-0.
But the Ragin' Cajuns responded. Vanessa Soto pounded a two-run double off the center-field wall in the top of the fifth to tie the score.
"That's why we call her 'Vanessa Money,' " Louisiana-Lafayette co-coach Stefni Lotief said. …

After some extensive research into secular bull and bear trends, Edward Hornstein tells us what to expect at this juncture, based on market history. He also shares his views on some growth names poised for growth if the current uptrend can remain intact.
Kate Stalter: I'm speaking today with Edward Hornstein of Edward Hornstein Capital Management. Ed, I know you've been doing some research into market cycles, so tell me a little bit about what you've found, and what that might mean for the markets, looking ahead.
Edward Hornstein: Sure, Kate. What I've done over the past few months is I've decided to take a look back in history.
The database I have goes back to 1900. What I've been doing is going back throughout the past 110 years or so of market history, with the belief that cycles repeat themselves.
Even though you've got machines and high frequency trading and things might move a little faster these days, there are still the human elements of fear and greed, and history generally rhymes and repeats itself.
So, I've gone back through 110 years of history, and what I've done is I've isolated four secular bull and bear markets. And what I mean by secular bull and bear are these are longer-term phases.
For example, from let's say 2000 to now, 2011, the market has basically been flat. The Nasdaq is obviously is way off its high, but if you go look at the Dow and S&P ten years ago, it's pretty much exactly where it was. And that might continue for a few more years. That's known as a secular bear market.
Then you also get the secular bull markets. A good example of that would be 1982 to 2000. If you look at a chart of any major index for those 18 years, you have a giant bull market.
Sure, you have the 1987 crash and you have some mini-bear markets there, but pretty much the trend over those 16 to 18 years was up, and the trend now for the market is basically sideways. And that's the difference between a secular bull and bear.
- Also read: Why Wait Until Late October?
In a secular bear market like we're in, it basically allows the market to work off the excesses and the froth and the expensive evaluations from the prior secular bull.
So, what I've done is, I've gone through history and I've isolated the four secular bull and bear markets since 1900 that the market has witnessed. And I want to examine them with the idea that we are probably in the eleventh year of a secular bear market now that began in 2000.
I've gone through all the secular bear markets and I've looked at them, and I've looked inside those cycles—the mini bull and bear markets you get within those secular bears.
For example, if we talk about the secular bear now, from 2000 that's still going on, we're in a longer-term secular bear, but inside that you had mini bull and bear markets. We had the 2000 crash, otherwise known as the dot-com crash, which was a bear market lasting from 2000 to 2002, and we had a mini bull market from 2003 to 2007. We had another mini bear market from 2007 to 2009, and another smaller bull market from 2009 to most recently this spring.
So, inside the longer-term secular bear market, you get what I call mini bulls and bears, what some people call cyclical bears and cyclical bulls.
Then I wanted to go into those mini bulls and bears and further isolate and examine what they look like, with the idea being: Let me take a look at how these mini bulls and bears look in these secular bear markets, and kind of try to figure out what the most likely scenario is for the market here going forward.
The research has been very, very interesting. One interesting point I found is that generally in a longer-term secular bear market, the absolute low of that bear market is generally reached in the middle of the bear market.
For example, this secular bear that started in 2000 and is still going on, we saw so far the absolute low in 2008 when the market crashed. In the 1966 to 1982 secular bear, the absolute low was made in 1974, similarly eight years into that secular bear market.
So, if history is any guide, there's a decent chance that we've probably seen the absolute lows for the market back in 2008. But what my research tells me is that for the next few years, there's probably going to be a lot more of what we've seen, these up and down markets, these mini bulls and bears, and kind of a trendless market until we finally come out of the secular bear market.
Kate Stalter: Which certainly is consistent with a lot of the geopolitical and economic developments that have been occurring recently, and are forecast to occur for the foreseeable future.
Edward Hornstein: Absolutely. And it just goes hand in hand with a de-leveraging process that's still going on. You've got the macro themes that you've discussed.
Eventually, these things will be put behind us, and we'll have a brand new secular bull market, but the key thing for investors to remember is that during these periods, there are plenty of money-making opportunities.

For example, the market has been flat for ten or 11 years, but we had a great bull market from 2009 until recently, that may or may not be dead yet, and from 2003 to 2007 we had a big bull market.
What I wanted to see on my research was what do the bull markets in the secular bears look like, and how to they differ from the bull markets when you get an 18-year secular bull.

SHEFFIELD, England, August 8. ADD another British record to the portfolio of Simon Burnett. Just days after establishing a British standard in the 200 freestyle, Burnett popped a 22.12 performance in the 50 free at the Commonwealth Games Trials. Burnett was challenged in the race by veteran Mark Foster, who claimed second place in 22.46. Foster held the former record at 22.13.
Also qualifying for next year's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne was Chris Cook, who covered the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.70, ahead of the 1:01.85 of James Gibson, the former world champ in the 50 breast. The third-place slot went to Darren Mew, who covered the distance in 1:02.03. Meanwhile, the 400 individual medley was taken by Rebecca Cooke in 4:45.52, a time that lowered her British mark.

Not so much anymore.

Cold-Case Suspect Accused
After sifting through the evidence of the unsolved 1993 slaying of a Bronx prostitute, two New York Police Department detectives this year submitted material found under her fingernails and on her body to a state DNA database.
The alleged match: a Westchester County man who had spent about 30 of the past 38 years in prison for convictions on violent offenses against women and who was, the detectives later learned, a top suspect in the death of a Yonkers woman in 1993, authorities said.
So, on Tuesday afternoon, the detectives visited the man's home in Mount Vernon to question him. Instead, authorities said Wednesday, they made a grisly discovery: the corpse of Mr. Crawford's girlfriend under a sheet on his bed.
Authorities said Mr. Crawford admitted fatally stabbing 42-year-old Tanya Simmons and the two victims from 1993—Nella West, 38, who died in the Bronx in October that year, and Laronda Shealy, 23, who died a month earlier in Yonkers.
Mr. Crawford was charged with murder in connection with the death of Ms. Simmons, who was stabbed nine times, authorities said. He didn't enter a plea at an arraignment in Mount Vernon City Court. The identity of his attorney couldn't be ascertained on Wednesday.
Other charges were expected against Mr. Crawford, authorities said, the latest in a long series of accusations of extreme violence against women.
The arrest demonstrated the long reach of New York's DNA database, created in 1996, three years after the deaths of Ms. Shealy and Ms. West. The database has been expanded since then to include DNA collected from those convicted of nearly all felonies and misdemeanors.
All leads had long gone cold in the slaying of Ms. West, who was found by a taxi driver face-up near 5810 Liebig Avenue in the Bronx with multiple stab wounds. Two NYPD detectives, Chris Boerke of the 50th Precinct and Malcolm Reiman of the Bronx Homicide Squad, jump-started the case this year after Det. Boerke talked to the case's original investigator, now retired. They submitted the DNA found on Ms. West for testing this spring. By July, they had received results pointing to Mr. Crawford and spent the next five months building a case against him, authorities said. Other evidence emerged. For instance, around the time of Ms. West's death, they learned Mr. Crawford owned a white car similar to the one seen by a witness driving from the murder scene, a law-enforcement official said.
They also learned of his extensive criminal history. In 1973, Mr. Crawford was convicted of assault with intent to kill in the stabbings of four female strangers over a five-day period in Charleston, S.C., authorities said. The women had turned down his advances, authorities said.
He served three years in prison and then, four months after his release in April 1977, he was arrested on charges of stabbing five more female strangers, ages 14 to 28, in a five-day period in Charleston. He was again convicted of assault with intent to kill and served about 14 years of a 24-year sentence, authorities said.
He moved to New York after his release in 1991 and was arrested in May 1994 on charges of stalking and stabbing a female co-worker from a Yonkers job placement agency 13 times with a steak knife after she rebuffed his sexual advances, authorities said. He served 13 years after a conviction on an attempted murder charge. He was released from prison in February 2008.
After learning that Yonkers police suspected Mr. Crawford in Ms. Shealy's death, Detectives Boerke and Reiman decided to question him at his Mount Vernon basement apartment, along with Yonkers detectives, authorities said. An monitoring anklet Mr. Crawford wore as a condition of his parole showed he was at home, but no one answered the door, so his parole officer let the officers inside, authorities said.
Inside, investigators found the anklet. Mr. Crawford, who isn't allowed to drive a car, was arrested three hours later riding his bicycle in Mount Vernon, the law-enforcement official said.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said the department alerted Long Island detectives who are investigating the deaths of eight women, a man and a toddler whose decomposed remains were found off Gilgo Beach in Suffolk County between December 2010 and April 2011. Five of the victims who have been identified worked as prostitutes, police have said. Suffolk police said Wednesday they don't believe Mr. Crawford is connected to the Gilgo Beach bodies but would continue to investigate.
A law-enforcement official said Charleston police are also reviewing unsolved homicides to see if there may be a link to Mr. Crawford.

Lauren Conrad strutted onto the scene in 2004 as a star of MTV's Laguna Beach. Sure, Kristin Cavallari got a lot of press for her tumultuous relationship with serious hottie Stephen Colletti, but Conrad's easy California girl charm won her millions of fans. Since those days at Laguna Beach High School we've seen her evolve from yet another pretty girl to a fashion powerhouse. Don't believe us? Well, think about this for a moment: she's has a whopping three fashion lines to her name, runs a mega successful beauty site, and oh yeah, is a New York Times bestselling author for her trilogy exploring the world of (wait for it) fashion. But, perhaps one of our fave things about this SoCal darling is her effortless style- even while rocking Miu Miu heels and leather shorts she manages to look incredibly comfortable and chic. Of course, we fell head over high heels in love with her look, but we knew that we couldn't afford those costly double cross platform sandals at $700 per pop or the charming Chanel quilted purse for $1,600. Instead, we decided to do a nearly identical look, even including a messy ballerina bun, for less than $150.
1. layered tribal charm necklace set
2. knit cropped sweater
3. quilted shoulder bag
4. leatherette mesh shorts
5. leatherette peep-toe platform
So, what did you think of this look? What other celebs would you like to see?

Laura Grimes explores the many possibilities of the one-minute gesture drawing.
Life drawing is the art of drawing the human figure from a living model. It is essential to an artist's education. A life drawing class usually begins with a series of short gestures by the model. The gestures give the artist a warm-up for the rest of the session. But these gesture drawings are often the best of the session.
The Artwork of Laura Jeanne Grimes Laura Jeanne Grimes completed her BA in Art History at The University of Houston and her BFA in Studio Art at The University of Texas. Her earliest memory is of fingerpainting. She remembers dipping her finger into the paint, looking up at that huge sheet of paper, and dragging her finger across it. The mark left behind seemed magical. She remembers her astonishment at seeing, for the first time, the 64-color box of Crayola crayons (with the built-in sharpener). Perhaps her most vivid memory of early childhood is the day she got a brand-new pair of red Keds. She jumped on to the grass, and at the sight of the red, red shoes against the green, green grass, a deep joy welled up in her heart. She has always loved color and expresses that love in her art.

PHILADELPHIA-- University of Pennsylvania students have two ways to watch "Conversations with Supreme Court Justices," the national satellite broadcast program featuring U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Stephen Breyer, online or on TV. The program will air on the Penn Video Network (Channel 24) and be available on live streaming web video at 12 noon (EDT) on Sept. 16.
During the 30- minute program, sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center, the sitting justices engage in a frank dialogue with Philadelphia-area students about interpreting and applying the Constitution, including timely questions about what it takes to overturn precedent and how this document allocates and balances powers between federal and state government.
The webcast, which should begin by 11:45 am (EDT,) can be viewed by clicking on the special "Penn only Watch live!" link at http://www.justicelearning.org/constitutionday/TuneIn.asp
The program will broadcast from noon to 12:30 p.m. (EDT) and again from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (EDT.) From 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. (EDT) that same afternoon, NPR's "Justice Talking," produced by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, will broadcast a live debate on "Free Speech in the Digital Age" with First Amendment attorney Floyd Abrams, Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig and Motion Picture Association Past President Jack Valenti, attended by students from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
"As our country grapples with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Constitution Day offers young people an opportunity to learn how a cornerstone of our democracy- the concept of federalism shapes -our lives," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of Penn's Annenberg Public Policy Center.
Nearly 1300 educators and public officials have registered to use the pre-recorded broadcast with the Supreme Court Justices and other free classroom-ready materials.
"We're thrilled by the overwhelming interest in our balanced, thoughtful programs and delighted they will help so many students take part in the first national day devoted to teaching the next generation about the Constitution," said Kathryn Kolbert, executive producer of NPR's Justice Talking and JusticeLearning.org, a lead sponsor of the civics education initiative.
Preview clips of the Justices answering questions about federalism, overruling precedent, and civil liberties in wartime are online at www.justicelearning.org/constitutionday/ and advance copies of the full program are also available. The archived RealPlayer files of the Constitution Day programs can be viewed through links on the site after Sept. 16.
This is the first year that federal law requires educational institutions receiving federal funds to create educational programming on or around the day, Sept. 17, in 1787 that the U.S. Constitution was ratified. To help schools comply with the new federal requirement, the Annenberg Public Policy Center NPR radio series "Justice Talking" partnered with the National Archives and Records Administration, the New York Times Knowledge Network, the America Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Bar Association Division of Public Education, the Center for Civic Education, the Close-UP Foundation, the Marshall-Brennan Legal Fellowship Program, the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the National Conference on Citizenship, the National Constitution Center, National History Day, Presidential Classroom, Street Law, the Annenberg/CPB Foundation and C-SPAN.
The Constitution Day Made Easy broadcasts and companion materials are made possible by the Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and the Foundation for the National Archives.

The scene opens with Daphne and Emmet studying. They joke about Trig and she tells him that he should have come to her sooner. They stare at one another and then suddenly kiss. However, it is only in Daphne's mind. Emmet asks what's wrong. She says that it is nothing and that it is just nice to be hanging out again. Melody comes in and tells her that they miss her at basketball. Emmet says that they are finishing up. Melody says that Daphne is family. She tells him that she has to tell him something. Emmet tells Melody to tell him now. She says that the $5,000 is due next week and she doesn't have it. He asks if his dad will pay for it, but she tells him that he has expenses and that she can't raise the money. She tells him that she has an idea and that he can sell something. Realizing what she means he gets upset with her. Daphne asks what he has to sell and Emmet tells her that Melody wants him to sell his motorcycle.
Later at the house, Bay comes up to Daphne and asks if there is a way of getting Emmet online when he is offline. She says that there isn't. Bay says that Emmet texted her about his motorcycle. Daphne says that she knows that it is horrible and she can't believe that he is going to have to sell "Ripley". Bay is confused and Daphne says that is the name of his motorcycle after the movie "Alien". Bay asks what she is doing. She says that she is baking 200 cupcakes and is going to sell them at $5 a cupcake. Bay tells her that the Billboard was her fault in part because it was a birthday present to her. Daphne says that she better start baking. John and Kathryn meet with Warren, another lawyer. He says that everything looks good to be able to get a settlement. Kathryn mentions the memoirs that she is writing and he warns her that it could be read in open court. They meet with another lawyer, Craig, who tells them that a book deal would be great. John asks how many cases has he tried and he says that he hasn't tried any, but he has watched. John doesn't feel comfortable with Craig and Craig pleads that they allow him to work the case with them.
Daphne is making her cupcakes when Regina comes in. She tells her that it is horrible about Emmet and the fact that he might have to sell his motorcycle. Daphne says that is why she made the cupcakes. Regina says that she is moving forward with the Salon idea and Daphne says that is great. Regina says that Angelo is going to invest in it too. Daphne tells her that if it brings in money, then it is not a big deal. Later at school, Bay goes up to Emmet and tells him that she can help him by driving around. He says that he was hoping to come up with some money so that his mom will get off his back. He says that she is such a hypocrite. Melody comes up and asks who the hypocrite is. Emmet excuses himself and Bay asks if she can help Melody with the money. She tells Bay that Bay lives in a world of money. She tells her that she needs to get to reality and leaves.
Wilke and Toby walk around and Wilke shows him the plan to their music video. Simone comes up and they tell her that they are going to shoot a music video. She volunteers her help. John comes up to Kathryn and she asks what John thought of Craig. He says that they don't need a first timer to do their case. Back at school, Daphne tries to sell the cupcakes, but people are not that interested. She goes up to Wilke and tries to talk to them, but he ignores her when she asks if they are still friends. After school, Daphne goes to Bay and tells her that the cupcake idea flopped. She doesn't like that they are surrounded by money and that they want to help Emmet out. Daphne tells Bay that they need to ask her parents and that she will tell them that she needs the money for new hearing aides. The plan works and John writes a check out for $5,000 without a problem. She gives the check to Bay and tells her that she feels bad. She says that it was like they were waiting to write the check and Bay says that she gets it.
Regina and Angelo have their spot and they celebrate the moment. Angelo sees that she is still wearing the necklace that he made for her. Angelo gets a call from the realtor and takes the call. Wilke comes in to Simone and Toby and tells her that he wants the tu-tu on the animal and Simon declines on putting an orange in its mouth. Toby thanks Simone for her help. She tells him that she doesn't understand why Toby is with Wilke when he is clearly the better singer. John goes up to Kathryn and tells her that they still have no information on Angelo. Kathryn tells him to ask Angelo. Regina goes up to Daphne when she gets home and asks what she meant with the text "Riley's Saved". Daphne realizes that she sent it to Regina and not Emmet. She tries to lie and say that it is for a school project, but Regina sees through her. Daphne tells her that she got the money from John and Kathryn by telling them that she has lost her hearing aides. She tells Daphne that she is going to give back the money and telling them what she did.
She goes up to Kathryn and she tells her the truth. Kathryn gets upset with her and tells her that she can't believe that she lied. She says that she doesn't know if she can trust her anymore. Kathryn tells Regina later that she took away Daphne's car keys. Regina realizes that Daphne is acting out because of Angelo and says that she is going into business together. Bay goes out and before she does, Kathryn asks her where Daphne got the idea to lie to them. She points the blame on Bay and she tells her that Daphne isn't the person she thought and says that Kathryn doesn't know her at all. John goes over to Angelo's and asks him where he was for the last 2 years. He admits that he was living with a rich woman that "took care of things". John says that he is just making sure because Regina knew that she had the wrong daughter for 13 years without letting anyone else know. Angelo is shocked by the news. John goes back to Kathryn and tells her that it is not his fault that Regina didn't tell Angelo. Kathryn tells him that Daphne lied and that she took away her car keys for a month. John says that they are giving the kids what they need.
Meanwhile, Bay finds out that Daphne texted her mom instead. Daphne blames Bay for Emmet's arrest. Bay gets upset and says that it wasn't really her fault that he painted it. Bay says that this is stupid and that they are not getting anywhere. Bay says that she needs to ask Wilke. She says that she doesn't want to manipulate Wilke. Bay says that she will drive. They go to the music video shoot and Toby is playing the guitar and making noise. Daphne asks them for money for Emmet. However, they don't have it to give. Angelo goes up to Regina and tells her that he knows that she knew that Daphne wasn't her daughter. She tells him that she was going to tell him. He says that he is out of this and leaves in a mood. The girls get to Emmet's and Daphne says that she really wanted to help Emmet keep his bike. She remembers riding on it and says that it was the first time when they didn't care what their voices sounded like. Meanwhile, Simone walks in on Toby, who is playing and singing. She tells him that it wasn't the band that she went to see at their concerts, it was him. She kisses him.
Bay and Daphne go up to Emmet and he tells them that he is selling the bike tomorrow. They apologize and Emmet says that he is alright with it. He offers a ride and Bay tries to tell Daphne that she can have it, but she declines. Bay and Emmet ride off. Bay talks to Emmet and he says that he is alright with selling the motorcycle and says that he is still going to miss it. Wilke picks up Daphne at Emmet's house. The next day, Craig comes over John and Kathryn's and says that he pitched the book idea. John tells him that they are going in another direction and Craig says that he is going to push the hospital and take them to trial because he is going to make noise to get things done. They like what they hear and hire him on. Emmet goes up to Melody and tells her that he got $4,700 he says that he will owe her the rest. She tells him not to worry about it and she says that it is alright and knows how hard it was for him. He tells her that he is moving in with his father. Regina goes to her space and puts her keys down. Angelo comes up and tells her that they are not getting rid of the place and says that he understands why she did what she did. She cries and says that she is happy that someone agrees with her. They kiss and the episode ends.

The subject of employment is often brought up in my classes as it's April and it's natural for students to experience the going-thousands-of-dollars-in-debt-to-obtain-a-degree-that-may-or-may-not-get-me-a-job freakout. A professor instructed us to read a census report on librarians and archivists; one of the results was the need for more diversity in the field. Naturally, this wasn't surprising to me. What was surprising was one of my classmates reactions. He, as a white male, feels discriminated against by postings that say "women and minorities encouraged to apply" because he feels that companies are only seeking to hire women or a minorities. What?
As a woman anda minority, I have always felt that if a hiring manager receives my resume alongside the resume of a white male, he or she would choose the white male because the company knows that hire will not upset the status quo. I was under the impression that is how many women feel, regardless of race. A man can be one of the boys. A woman has to bust her ass to prove her worth and even then she will still be paid less and, often times, treated worse than said man.
Not to mention, there has been study after study on how ethnic names are a hindrance to getting hired. Based on my name and resume, which contains stints at two ethnic magazines, there is no doubt that I am a minority. But I've always thought that hiring managers discriminating against ethnic names affects everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity. Would Jon Stewart have a television show if he used his birth name of Jonathan Leibowitz? We all know the answer. And I often feel as if women with traditional Eastern European names have it much worse than I do.
Also, despite working in an overwhelming female environment, men are often the ones in positions of authority. The Library of Congress has always been an Ivy-educated white male with a non-ethnic name: Putnam, Evans, Stephenson, etc… But I doubt my classmate, who happens to have the most Anglo-Saxon name ever, would acknowledge any of that.
In my rant-y email thread to the other Harpy editors, Anna said:
I think that's the perfect analogy. What do you think of postings that say this?

According to a story in the Press Enterprise, a 47-year-old Desert Hot Springs woman was killed Wednesday when the car she was driving was hit by a flat bed trailer that had broken loose from its tow vehicle in Palm Springs. Riverside County coroner's officials identified the victim as Maria Herminia Quinones-Medrano. She reportedly died at the scene of the 7:06 a.m. wreck along North Indian Canyon Drive, 680 feet south of Train Station Road.
As a matter of California law, any operator of a motor vehicle towing a trailer or another vehicle has an obligation to make sure the tow is done safely. This requirement generally requires that the driver perform a safety inspection before each trip, ensuring that:
- The pin securing the ball mount to the receiver is intact.
- The hitch coupler is secured.
- Spring bar hinges are tight with the safety clips in place (load equalizer or weight distributing hitches).
- Safety chains are properly attached.
- The electrical plug is properly installed.
The specific requirements for towing particular trailers varies according to the type of trailer, conventional, cargo, fifth wheel, etc.. The general guidelines can be found at the California Department of Motor Vehicles website. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/dl648/dl648pt12.htm Logically, a violation of these guidelines may be presumed to be negligence on the part of the motor vehicle operator. In addition, absent very unusual circumstances, the fact that a trailer comes loose during normal operation may create a legal inference of negligence, a doctrine known as res ipsa loquitur. Assuming there were no unusual circumstances involved in the case above, it may be presumed the vehicle operator either failed to comply with the DMV guidelines or there may have been a defect in one of the trailer or motor vehicle components intended to secure the trailer. For example, a coupling or chain could have failed (through no fault of the vehicle operator) because of a design or manufacturing defect.
Compensation for pedestrian victims of traffic accidents, caused by a driver's negligence or a product defect, should be an important concern for all Californians. When a driver operates their vehicle carelessly or a safety product fails to perform as expected, the responsible party should be held accountable. An Orange County trial lawyer with experience at handling such cases can make a fair assessment of these claims. Mr. Ralph has more than 19 years of experience handling personal injury cases, including just this type. He can be reached at 714-919-4415 for a FREE CONSULTATION.

UX STRAT 2014: Focusing on UX Strategy
Published: July 21, 2014
The field of UX strategy has been growing rapidly over the past couple of years, as a specialty within the broader field of user experience. In the past year, postings of jobs that specify UX strategy as a key competency and specialized UX Strategist roles have become increasingly frequent. Events, workshops, and classes whose focus is the topic of UX strategy have been springing up to meet the growing need for education and professional growth in this area.
In just a few short years, the UX Strategy and Planning group on LinkedIn has grown to over 12,000 members, providing an active forum for discussions about UX strategy and, more broadly, experience strategy. UX design and management professionals around the world are participating in the dialogue. UXmatters has dedicated a significant amount of space to publishing articles about UX strategy—including my column UX Strategy, which I began in January 2012, as well as UX STRAT 2013–speaker Ronnie Battista's new Strategy Matters column—altogether, 190 articles on UX strategy topics by many thought leaders within the realm of UX strategy.
UX STRAT 2013 was the first international conference to be dedicated specifically to the topic of UX strategy. Check out the #uxstrat Twitter stream, as well as the UX STRAT 2013 conference reviews by Margie Coles and Pabini Gabriel-Petit, which were published on UXmatters:
- "UX STRAT 2013 Workshop Reviews"
- "Conference Review: UX STRAT 2013, Part 1"
- "Conference Review: UX STRAT 2013, Part 2: Day 1"
- "Conference Review: UX STRAT 2013, Part 3: Day 2"
The UX STRAT conference will continue this year because the response to UX STRAT 2013 was enthusiastic—in terms of both the number of people who attended the conference and workshops and the social buzz that conference attendees generated during and after the event:
"Bravo & well done #uxstrat two days of thinking & inspiration! Great people & great presentations - Great conference." @simon_norris
UX STRAT 2014 will take place on September 7–9, 2014, in Boulder, Colorado, USA—a progressive city that is nestled in a beautiful mountain setting. During a day of pre-conference workshops and the two-day conference, experienced UX strategy professionals will present their approaches to guiding UX projects, products, and programs. The historic Boulderado Hotel is to be the venue for the workshops, which will take place on September 7, while the entire UX STRAT tribe will gather at the classic Boulder Theater for conference presentations on September 8 and 9.
The theme of UX STRAT 2014 is Sharpen Your Axe. Abe Lincoln once said, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." It's difficult for UX leaders to get away from work to attend conferences and sharpen their skills, but we have carefully curated the workshops and presentations to give you an array of tools and case studies that will help you guide your UX projects to success.
UX leaders, strategists, researchers, and other senior UX professionals who attend the conference will have the opportunity to hear about and discuss the latest methods and trends in strategic digital experience planning and design.
Why You Should Attend UX STRAT 2014
Since conference and training budgets for UX professionals tend to be limited, UX conferences must provide a useful, targeted, career-building experience to make it worthwhile for attendees to travel across the country or around the world to attend. As organizer of the UX STRAT conference, I'm very aware that it's essential that we differentiate our workshops and presentations from those at other, more general UX conferences. When you attend UX STRAT 2014, you'll
- learn about UX and CX (Customer Experience) strategy methods, tools, and deliverables
- hear case studies from industry experts that describe how they're combining strategy, design, and technology to achieve business results
- network with experienced professionals whose focus is experience design strategy
- find out how other companies are organizing their UX, CX, product, and service design practices
- discover new ways to communicate UX and CX strategy to your organization
UX STRAT 2014 Presenters and Topics
Our content-curation goal for UX STRAT 2014 is to cover a broad range of UX strategy case studies, giving attendees a practical toolkit of approaches that they can bring to their own professional contexts. The presenters are outstanding UX leaders who will share their experiences in UX strategy at well-known companies such as Google, Amazon, IBM, frog, Cabela's, Nook (Barnes & Noble), Shutterfly, Citrix, and many others.
The breadth of the UX strategy case studies will provide both a foundation and a framework for the practice of UX strategy. Key topics that the conference will cover include
- aligning user experience with business strategy
- defining the role of user experience in product and service design
- planning strategic digital ecosystems
- modeling behavior to drive UX, CX, product, and service design strategy
- optimizing organizational structure for experience design success
The Conference Program
We have finalized the program for UX STRAT 2014, and it promises to provide a very focused series of workshops and presentations on the topic of experience strategy, giving attendees a comprehensive overview of the key activities comprising the practice of experience strategy. Both the workshops and the conference presentations' coverage of experience strategy case studies and methods will help UX leaders to improve their approaches to guiding experience strategy, planning, and design.
The following is a complete listing of the pre-conference workshops and conference sessions' presenters and topics.

SELMA, Ala. (AP) — Speakers at the annual commemoration of a key event in African Americans' fight for voting rights are urging Congress to resurrect the requirement for many Deep South states to get federal approval of their election laws.
The son of Martin Luther King Jr. says blood spilled on Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., helped pave the way for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But a court case also arising out of Alabama led the Supreme Court last year to effectively abolish preclearance, a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Thousands of people gathered in Selma today to honor the 49th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," when civil rights marchers were beaten by law enforcement officers on the bridge. Outrage over the melee helped galvanize support for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Speakers at the annual event, including Martin Luther King III, put the focus on the death of the preclearance provision and a slate of new voting laws, including photo voter ID requirements, being rolled out across the country.
Sound: upcoming

I'd like to tell you about Troy Woods.
At 17, Troy was a young man who had everything going for him. He was an avid athlete and a star hockey player who spent a lot of time giving back to his community of Warren, Manitoba. In addition to coaching power skating and minor league soccer, he visited the elderly, helped out with community suppers, and tutored his fellow students. His grades were great, and he was looking forward to finishing his senior year of high school and going on to university. Then he began to feel sick.
"I started getting really tired. We'd go on a field trip for school, and I'd have to sit down and rest," Troy recalls.
"I went for a blood test, and my dad got the call to take me to the hospital. Cancer was the last thing on our minds. We were unbelievably shocked when the doctor told me I had ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow). We just sat there in silence, unable to say anything."
Troy's community instantly rallied around him, showering the teenager and his family with home-cooked meals, phone calls, cards and letters. Two senior men's hockey teams from Warren and Stonewall held a charity tournament in his honour, raising nearly $14,000 for CancerCare Manitoba. Troy wanted the money to support clinical trials for other teenagers with ALL.
"Clinical trials save the lives of people like me, and I wanted other teenagers going through this to have that opportunity," he says. "It did wonders to feel that I had the whole community behind me, but I knew not everyone would have that kind of support."
Prior to 1970, less than 20 percent of children and adolescents with ALL survived. Research, especially clinical trials, has so dramatically improved the prognosis that now approximately 80 percent are cured. Every dollar you invest in CancerCare Manitoba's cutting-edge research will help give people like Troy a future. Without you, we wouldn't be able to provide this kind of extraordinary care.
Troy immediately began treatment at CancerCare Manitoba, undergoing many courses of chemotherapy and radiation in the fight to save his life.
Within only a few months, this vibrant young athlete no longer recognized himself when he looked in the mirror.
"The first year I struggled with lots of emotional stuff. I weighed 185 pounds before I got sick – suddenly I was 135 pounds. I lost all my hair. I didn't look like myself. For a long time, I didn't think I ever would again," says Troy. "There were days I was so exhausted I didn't want to go out in public or see anyone."
I'm so happy to tell you that Troy recently celebrated his 20th birthday. He is now in his second year at the Asper School of Business. After three years, his cancer treatments will finally be finished in March 2013, and there are no limits to what this talented young man will achieve.
"I've gotten my strength back and I'm back playing hockey. I'm finally starting to feel like the old me again," Troy says. "Every person who works at CancerCare Manitoba is incredibly special – they really care. They put the needs of their patients before themselves. There was never any doubt in my mind that I was going to get better."
Because of your generous support, many young people have won their battle with cancer. You are helping us save lives.
As we approach the holiday season, please consider a gift to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation. We can only do our work because of the ongoing support we receive from people like you. Your generosity will help change the course of cancer in Manitoba.
Thank you for caring, and thank you for giving.

3 year old recovering from Stockton pit bull attack | News
STOCKTON, CA - A mother is speaking out after a pit bull nearly ripped off the face of her 3-year-old daughter, Kaylie Foster.
The little girl was at her father's home on the 2000 block of Alcazar Way in north Stockton when their 5 year old, 80-pound family pit bull, Andy, latched on to her face.
RELATED Story: Pit bull killed with steak knife to stop attack on girl
"This is a dog that had to be murdered because it wouldn't stop lunging after my daughter," said Kaylie's mother Kiersten Foster. "I strongly believe that this is no accident. Because this is something that could have been prevented with proper care of that dog or removal of the dog before it happened."
Foster said Kaylie's cheek is sewn together with about 100 stitches. She said it's too early to tell if her daughter will need plastic surgery.
The pit bull was killed, but Foster said Kaylie won't be returning to her father's home anytime soon. She said she specifically asked her ex to keep the dog away from the girl.
"This is something that I was afraid of. I expressed my fear to as many people who would listen," Foster said.
No charges have been filed by police, but Child Protective Services is investigating.

Operators look to embed deep packet inspection (DPI) in apps; Market growing to $2B by 2018
Campbell, CALIFORNIA, April 22, 2014—Market research firm Infonetics Research released excerpts from its latest Service Provider Deep Packet Inspection Products report, which tracks deep packet inspection (DPI) software solutions and related hardware deployed in wireless and fixed-line networks.
"The deep packet inspection (DPI) market, particularly the mobile opportunity, remains a dynamic one, with momentum driven by not only basic traffic management requirements, but also by the need to support new pricing and service offerings," says Shira Levine, directing analyst for service enablement and subscriber intelligence at Infonetics Research.
"As this occurs," Levine continues, "We're seeing continued interest in embedding DPI functionality in applications such as security, video optimization, and revenue and service assurance, which is driving demand for embedded solutions that provide advanced packet classification, such as Qosmos' ixEngine and Procera's NAVL."
- Operator spending on deep packet inspection (DPI) solutions grew 23% to $728 million in 2013, and is forecast by Infonetics to top $2 billion in 2018
- Sandvine leads 2013 DPI market share, buoyed by a surge of new customers and a number of follow-on orders; Allot, Cisco, and Procera round out the top 4
- Due to recent legal developments, net neutrality is now less of an issue in the U.S., but it remains a barrier to DPI investment in other markets, especially the European Union, which prohibits preferential treatment and bars traffic blocking and throttling
- Virtualization holds the potential to significantly change DPI deployment strategies over time, enabling DPI technology to be deployed more cost-effectively throughout the network
Clients, log in to join Shira Levine April 30 at noon EDT for her latest DPI market recap and outlook, or view on demand: https://www.infonetics.com/cgp/login.asp?id=850.
Infonetics' biannual DPI report provides worldwide and regional market size, vendor market share, forecasts through 2018, analysis, and trends for deep packet inspection products used in wireless and fixed-line service provider networks. Companies tracked: Allot, Arbor, Cisco, Huawei, Procera, Qosmos, Sandvine, and others. To buy the report, contact Infonetics: http://www.infonetics.com/contact.asp.

Supernatural Watch: Season 8, Episode 22 - Clip Show
By Josh Raymer 3 years ago comments
The chess pieces continued to be moved around the board in Clip Show but this weeks effort felt sloppier than last weeks The Great Escapist. The three major storylines failed to coalesce and as we head into the finale Im worried about how everything will come together. The revelation that the gates of Heaven could be sealed if an angel completed three trials should have come weeks ago. As it stands, this storyline will feel incredibly rushed if they try to wrap it up in Sacrifice next week. I felt the same way about Crowleys sinister plan to kill everyone Sam and Dean have ever saved but for a different reason I just want to catch up with more would-be victims! Season 8 has done a tremendous job of reconnecting with previous seasons so I only wish that this final callback could be stretched over several episodes rather than just two. I will say this for Crowleys plan: its cold blooded. Undoing Sam and Deans work would wipe out the biggest chunk of their legacy. Its such a diabolical plan that I feel confident in saying Crowley is now the ultimate Supernatural villain. Sorry Azazel, Lillith and Lucifer.
I always use three exclamation points when something is really weird.
The episode started off well enough. Sam and Dean were trying to uncover what it means to cure a demon and get some help courtesy of an old Men of Letters file on an exorcism gone wrong. The brothers uncover an old film reel that shows them a priest named Father Thompson who tried to wash the demonic taint off the human souls that became corrupted while in Hell. The brothers pay Father Thompsons exorcising partner a visit and procure his notes, giving them firsthand knowledge on how they might cure a demon. Too bad they dont have any of those lying around. Oh wait. Welcome back Abaddon. Sam and Dean dig up their Knight of Hell and literally sew her back together (minus the hands). Personally I wouldve summoned a lower level demon rather than unearthing one of the most badass, psychotic murderers Hell has ever produced, but what do I know? Even if Crowley put the kibosh on demons going near the Winchesters it wouldve been worth a shot. You could always keep Abaddon as a backup plan. Anyway, the exorcism is cut short as Crowley somehow manages to call from Hell (phone number 666, how cute) and unveils his plan to stop the brothers in their tracks. This gives Abaddon time to summon her hand to remove the bullet from her head. You know, rather than just summoning Deans gun to shoot him in the head. The brothers return to find Abaddon gone, something Im sure theyll come to regret in the finale.
Where do souls go if Heaven AND Hell are closed?
Dean spends the whole episode treating Castiel like crap because hes apparently forgotten all the other times Castiel made terrible decisions (like becoming God). This leads to the episodes funniest scene as Castiel shops for all of Deans favorite things, including beef jerky, pie and a copy of the latest Busty Asian Beauties. Being the clueless robot that he is, Castiel completely wrecks the convenience store and has to be talked out of threatening the virgin teller by Metatron, who only needed one good guilt trip to come out of retirement. The scribe of God reveals that Heaven is in total disarray and that different factions are rising up against each other. The only way to stop all the fighting is to slam the gates of Heaven forever? (Not sure since that point wasnt addressed.)
Such a task requires trials to be completed and Metatron manipulates Castiel into undertaking the trials as further penance for all the havoc he wreaked. Im not sure about Metatron yet. On the one hand he saved Kevin but the way he used Castiel and presented this vision of the duo saving the other angels has me on high alert. It almost sounds like Metatron wants to be the new God once the mess in Heaven is sorted out. He is, after all, a wanted man and what better way to take the heat off yourself than to end the civil war raging among your brothers and sisters. Back to this episode: Castiel is tasked with killing a nephilim (half angel, half human) and succeeds in doing during one of the worst choreographed fight scenes in Supernatural history. Geez, that thing felt uninspired. He didnt even rip out her heart! Why mention that if youre not going to show it?
(Side note: Im glad theyve finally introduced nephilim on Supernatural. Im writing a novel based heavily on this show that deals with the war between angels and demons and the one nephilim whos caught in between. Im hoping to have it finished by the end of this year. If you enjoy the show than Im sure youll like it.)
If a rescued victim's head explodes, was he ever rescued in the first place?
Crowleys plan digs into the idea of fate and destiny and how the brothers affect the lives of those they save. Every person Sam and Dean have rescued from a monster the past eight seasons is connected to them in a way that makes them a target for someone like Crowley. By saving these people the Winchesters have inadvertently put them all in harms way, especially since every save has been chronicled in painstaking detail in Chucks novels. Im honestly surprised the demons (particularly Lucifer back in Season 5) didnt try this tactic sooner. Crowleys right all Sam and Dean have are each other and their saves. Their lives are dedicated to saving people, hunting things the family business and to see that unravel is agonizing for them and the audience. Its the classic good of one versus the greater good argument that was so compelling in a movie like The Dark Knight. Castiel also faced that decision but we didnt have time to get invested in the first trial, sadly.
As we head into Sacrifice Im most intrigued by Sam coming unraveled and seeing the full ramifications of his decision to undertake all three trials. Im keeping my angel theory on the table for the time being. Well see next week!
Line of the week
Castiel : Metatron! Marv!
Next week on Supernatural.
Crowley is on the hot seat.

Some Delicious Recipes
I tried a few of these recipes in my first foray of vegan cooking. Mostly it gave me some ideas for other dishes. It was a good guide.
Standard recipes with a few stand-outs
Four hundred recipes can be a little overwhelming, but it also means there should be at least one or two to satisfy everyone! Most of the recipes are pretty standard (if you've already used several vegan cookbooks, you probably won't find much new here), and an advanced cook may not be particularly inspired, but a couple are noteworthy. I particularly liked the ziti with artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and black olives, and the black bean chili with butternut squash (the recipe calls for apple juice, and boy, it really makes the flavor pop!).
Good starter cookbook
This was the first vegan cookbook I ever owned. It's definitely a good starter book. The recipes are fairly simple, and most of the ingredients are pretty easy to find. There's also a helpful section at the beginning on vegan pantry staples, and how to cook certain basic things. Most of the recipes I've made have been pretty good. If you're a more experienced vegan cook, you can play with them a little bit to change them up or have them better suit your tastes.

We propose a model for learning user preference rankings for the purpose of making product recommendations. The model allows us to learn from pairwise preference statements or from (incomplete) rankings over more than two items. We present two algorithms for performing inference in this model, both with excellent scaling in the number of users and items. The superior predictive performance of the new method is demonstrated on the well-known sushi preference data set.

BollywoodNewsWorld.com, Actress Sunny Leone underwent due training before starting action film "Tina and Lolo", and she has not used a body double for any of her stunt scenes, says the movie's director.
"Sunny went through training for around two to three months before starting the film. She went through gun training, boxing and action for this film. She has not used any body double for any of her action scenes. She is a thorough professional," director Devang Dholakia told IANS,
Sunny Leone plays Tina in the film, while the role of Lolo is essayed by Karishma Tanna.
"The action in the film is not the usual action that you seen in Bollywood. It is going to be very different," said Dholakia.
The team has wrapped up the first shooting schedule of the film.
"We have finished shooting for the first schedule and the second schedule will start from October end. We are planning to release the film by April 2014. I am very happy with the way the film is shaping up," he said.

while learning some basic programming with python, i found web.py. i got stuck with a stupid problem:
i wrote a simple console app with a main loop that proccesses items from a queue in seperate threads. my goal is to use web.py to add items to my queue and report status of the queue via web request. i got this running as a module but can´t integrate it into my main app. my problem is when i start the http server with app.run() it blocks my main loop. also tried to start it with thread.start_new_thread but it still blocks. is there an easy way to run web.py´s integrated http server in the background within my app.
in the likely event that i am a victim of a fundamental missunderstanding, any attempt to clarify my error in reasoning would help ;.) ( please bear with me, i am a beginner :-)
