Hubble detects floating planets
By BBC News Online science editor Dr David Whitehouse
Looking into the heart of a star cluster, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has seen what could be a strange and unexpected population of planet-sized objects drifting through space.
The results are so surprising that they will have to be confirmed by follow-up HST observations.
But scientists say if they are verified, the discovery could yield new insights about how stars and planets form.
Smallest ever detected
"Hubble's excellent sharpness has allowed us to make this remarkable new type of observation, successfully demonstrating our ability to see very small objects," said Kailash Sahu of the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Microlensing occurs when a background star brightens for a while as a foreground object drifts in between it and us.
The objects thought to cause these events are far too dim to be seen directly, but they can be detected by the way their gravity deflects and amplifies light from a distant background star.
Between February and June 1999, astronomers monitored the 83,000 stars of M22 to look for any brightening. They detected just one clear microlensing event caused by a normal star in the cluster. It appeared to grow ten times brighter before it returned to its normal brightness after 18 days.
Early Universe
But in addition to the "normal" microlensing event, astronomers recorded six unexpectedly brief events where a background star jumped in brightness by as much as a factor of two for less than 20 hours. This means that the microlensing object must have been much smaller than a normal star.
These short durations can be explained if the mass of the intervening object is about 80 times that of Earth. Objects this small have never before been definitely detected by the microlensing technique.
If these results are confirmed by follow-up HST observations, the bodies would be the smallest celestial objects ever seen that are not orbiting any star.
Researchers say they might be planets that were gravitationally torn away from parent stars in the cluster.
"Since we know that globular clusters like M22 are very old, this result opens new and exciting opportunities for the discovery and study of planet-like objects that formed in the early Universe," said Nino Panagia of the European Space Agency.
The research is reported in the journal Nature.

Well when carriers start to use true 4G, and I mean 100+mb LTE I Can definitely see wired ISP's losing a lot of ground if they can't keep up with the speed/price ratio. I'd rather pay $60 a month for an aircard or mifi that does over 100mbs that $140 for 60mbs from charter or verizon fios. Hell, at that point, I would even believe verizon would forgoe their fios wired for VZW's LTE. or at least integrate it into a package.

The tie-up, which was backed by more than 90% of Portman shareholders, will create a lender with assets worth more than £150m and 13 million members.
Portman had promised its members a windfall payment of between £200 and £1,000 should they back the deal.
Nationwide is currently the UK's largest building society, while Bournemouth-based Portman is the third.
The deal is expected to be completed by September, and the new company will take the Nationwide name.
According to the two firms, the merger will result in a number of job cuts as the Portman's 153 branches and Nationwide's 860 outlets are combined and overlapping operations are trimmed.
Nationwide has more than 16,000 staff, and Portman currently has about 2,500 staff.
The Nationwide's head office in Swindon will become the new firm's headquarters.
When the deal was announced, Portman said its main offices in Bournemouth would be a key business centre within the enlarged society and would remain a significant employer in that region.

If the devil is in the details, it makes sense to capture them. The effort not only benefits the restoration, but your car's history. (artwork by Fabian Oefner)
Photo-Documenting A Restoration Is The Key To Doing It Right
Poor Project organization is probably one of the largest causes of stalled and abandoned restorations. Keeping track of where things are, where they go, and how they fit together is a big part of staying organized.
In the old days, restoration organization consisted of a few photographs, many sketches and plastic bags with notes written on them. The process worked but was tedious.
Today, organization centers on a digital camera and a common-sense filing approach. It can all be backed up, and it will continue to be useful after the restoration is finished. And remember, there is no such thing as too many photos.
Getting pictures before things come apart — both in a macro and micro view — greatly aids in getting things back together correctly. Once the car has been thoroughly cleaned, take a few hundred photos of every section of the car: inside, outside and underneath. Then, as disassembly proceeds, take detailed photos of every subassembly from several angles. "Exploded view" photos of parts laid out in order of reassembly replace the sketches of yesterday. Additionally, resolutions available today make it possible to zoom into a detail like an individual fastener to look at its head markings.
Before boxing or bagging any parts, lay them out and photograph them so you'll know exactly what's going in. Do the same before sending parts off to the sandblaster, powdercoater or chrome plater, and make a quick copy on your printer. When you pick up the parts, check off each item from the print.
Photos uphold the provenance of the car. Pre-restoration photos provide the link to the car's history. Progress photos show the quality of the work, assuring future caretakers that the car was in good hands during previous ownership. Photos showing proper damage repair, especially bodywork, are essential to showing that a car was restored skillfully.
Organizing these photos may seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. More compulsive people will name every photo and maybe even create an index. Another effective method is to make sure the time stamp is correct on the camera, then keep all the photos in one directory or folder.
Backup is important, too, so use a jump drive or a cloud-based storage solution to ensure you can retrieve photos if your computer is damaged.
Finally, when the restoration is done, select the best photos — 20 or 200 — and publish a book via one of the many services available from local and online retailers. Keep a copy of the book with the car and another copy or two back home. Digital photography has really changed restoration. Embrace it, use it, and enjoy the results.

text: Is it right that you get no service book with a new A3? (I just got a cardboard envelope type thing to keep service receipts in). Salesman claimed that all Audi Service records are now electronic & anyone you want to sell the car to can just call any Audi Centre and have the service record read out to them. Oddly, the salesman made a big thing of going through the service book for my part-ex'd Golf and noting the date, mileage, service type & VW dealer that did the service for each service it'd had. Have never had that before, it has always just been a "Yes" to the full service history question and that was that. I'd not be too happy about handing over service receipts when I come to get rid of the A3, as they will invariably have my address & contact details on - the latter is certainly information that any purchaser does not need (if I part-ex the car again).

VXX and VXZ Options
As complex and flawed as these proxies are, I would much sooner trade options here than on VIX futures. They are regular American-style exercise options, with delivery of the actual VXX or VXZ ETN.
OK, got all that? You won't be tested, but let's review:
* If you want a look at the here and now of implied volatility, use the VIX.
* If you want a view of "mean" assumptions, use VXV.
* If you want to actually hedge a portfolio, I'd always recommend making life easier and using actual SPX or SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) options.
* But if you want to just trade volatility, I believe VXX and VXX options are the best proxy out there.

Lymphatic Congestion
March 11, 2012 by staff
Lymphatic Congestion, Lymphatic congestion or stagnation is a serious problem for many cancer patients. Undigested food, infectious material, dead cells, toxins, and other debris have to be carried off by the lymphatic system. Thickened and sluggish lymph results in swelling and discomfort.
Very few people understand the humble working of the lymphatic system. Basically, the lymphatic system consists of one-way channels into which excess fluids, called lymph, are absorbed. This fluid consists of waste materials and some white blood cells. It is not under pressure and only moves because of exercise or muscle contraction. Lymph moves towards the heart where it empties into veins. The two largest areas of lymph collection are just below the clavicles, areas that are often swollen or tender due to congestion in the lymphatic system. The left side carries more fluid than the right, explaining why so many people experience worse swelling on the left side.
Many patients suffered from congestion or conditions such as mastitis before developing cancer. The lymphatic system benefits from alkalization of the diet and improved digestion. Dietary improvement and lymphatic stimulation—massage and exercise—combined with herbs that aid lymphatic purification support the lymphatic system's ability to carry off debris. As a general rule, there will be only minimal improvement in places such as the axilla or groin until the thoracic duct is freed of stagnation.
do not wear any tight fitting clothing while suffering from lymphatic congestion! It is also wise to avoid constant pressure on the same site, such as sleeping in the same position.
Cleavers Tea and Violet Tea
Most lymphatic formulae contain cleavers. Ours consists of cleavers along with detoxifying herbs and stimulating spices. This tea is zesty, stimulating, and gradually cleansing. Patients may need to drink a quart or more per day for several months to relieve the body of accumulations that obstruct proper circulation. During this time, they are advised to avoid tight fitting apparel and under garments as well as strain to the areas that are most congested. For example, women with breast cancer should not carry grocery bags with the arm on the side of the body that has the malignancy.
Use pure water. When the water begins to boil, turn off the heat, add the tea, and cover with a lid to prevent the volatile oils from escaping. Allow the brew to sit for 10-20 minutes; pour one cup for immediate consumption and place the rest in a stainless steel or glass (not plastic) thermos for later consumption.
The tea should be tasty, i.e., neither too bland nor too intense. It should be consumed while warm. Do not reheat the tea once it has been made as this affects the volatile oils that are so valuable for proper internal hygiene and peristalsis.

While most teens don't have a Credit card, I think almost any teen with a job is going to have a bank account... That can be easily setup with paypal, which many online retailers will accept. If not that, then most will have a debit card they can use. They have to have some way to get that money back out...
Also, as the book industry continues to mirror the music industry (as much as it can), I think we'll see gift certificates for books pop up much like the iTunes gift cards that can be purchased just about anywhere...

Kwik Trip Hires New Food Safety Director
Jay Ellingson Ph.D. will oversee all existing programs, including the new commissary.
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Kwik Trip's continuing expansion into food service, including the construction of a new, "state of the art" Commissary facility, has prompted the decision to merge its existing foodservice programs under the direction of a single Food Safety Director.
After an extensive search, involving numerous qualified candidates from leading food service companies and regulatory groups, Kwik Trip has selected Jay L. E. Ellingson, Ph.D. as its new food quality and safety director. Jay was involved in the planning process for the company's new commissary, although his official duties began with the company full time on June 1.
Based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Kwik Trip, Inc. operates an FDA approved bakery, offering customers fresh Kwikery bakery products. Produced in Kwik Trip's own FDA approved dairy is the Nature's Touch brand of dairy products including Kwik Trip's own Milk In A Bag packaging.
Ellingson comes to Kwik Trip with an exceptional educational and professional background, the company reported. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Sociology from Viterbo University and a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology from Marquette University. After graduation from Marquette, he worked with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agriculture Research Service in Ames, Iowa, where he was instrumental in the development of important new methods for the diagnosis of disease in dairy cattle. He later served as a staff Molecular Microbiologist with the USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Center for Veterinary Biologics, also in Ames.
Prior to joining Kwik Trip, Ellingson was director of Marshfield Clinic Laboratories Food Safety Services in Marshfield, Wis. In addition to his director duties, Jay was also the chief scientific officer for the Marshfield Food Safety LLC, a network of on-site process control laboratories, which he helped establish. These laboratories provide companies like Kwik Trip with reliable real-time test results. He will continue to maintain a relationship with Marshfield Clinic as he continues his Food Safety and Public Health Research and Development programs. This relationship will allow Kwik Trip, Inc. to be on the leading edge of food safety and public health initiatives.
Furthermore, Ellingson is also an adjunct professor in the Microbiology Department of the University of Wisconsin, and he and his wife Kari both grew up in the La Crosse area. They have two sons, Ryan, age 7, and Lucas, age 3.

Apple has given the Mac a hardware overhaul. They are now being loaded with higher-end 3D graphics cards and more powerful Intel chipsets, giving them the punching power to handle modern day graphics-intensive games to a decent standard. Running parallel to the hardware improvements is an injection of the vital software drivers that facilitate porting and compatibility, with OpenGL and Direct X support.
"With Macs now being built with true 3D graphics cards and faster Intel processors, there's little reason to stop the Mac becoming another gaming platform," says high tech hardware review specialist Hexus.gaming. "The biggest hurdle for Mac gaming will be to get the publishers to see it as a viable platform in which to invest development and cash."
The nuts and bolts improvements have not gone unnoticed by publishers and developers. Since World of Warcraft launched on the Mac, there has been a stirring of interest. Publishing powerhouse EA and developer id Software – the firm behind PC gaming milestones such as Doom and Quake – have both recently announced a commitment to the Mac. At this year's Apple annual developer conference, Bing Gordon, CCO and co-founder of EA, announced Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Need for Speed Carbon, Battlefield 2142 and Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars will all soon be ported to the Mac OSX operating system. These will soon be followed by Madden NFL 08 and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08. id Software co-founder John Carmack also took the stage to demonstrate the cutting edge Tech 5 rendering technology on Mac OS X, which will also be adopted by the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Additionally, Epic has announced that Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 will be released on the Mac. With such strong members of the gaming community already on board, it seems logical to assume others will follow.
"Now the Mac has switched to the Intel chipset there's no reason why developing a game for the Mac is any harder than developing for Windows," says editor of MacFormat Graham Barlow. "Anyone who tells you different is just blowing hot air or is badly informed. It's proved in the case of EA, with their recent return to the Mac gaming platform. It's able to simultaneously release new gaming titles on both the Mac and PC platforms using a wrapper program called Cider. I'm looking forward to trying out Need for Speed Carbon and the new Harry Potter game on my Mac as soon as they're released, to find out for sure."
In the meantime, some claim there are also specific benefits to developing games on the Mac. "The Mac could be a strong and profitable market for games," says Sarah Atter, Apple business development manager at Avanquest. "There is less competition so a good game will get a lot of recognition within the Mac community, and there is also a lot less piracy in comparison to Windows. What the Mac really needs is a killer game. A title that makes every gamer want the Mac, a bit like what Halo did for the Xbox. I think the Mac games market is the strongest it's ever been though, and I hope that it continues to grow."
With Apple, it's a good bet never to underestimate the power of Steve Job's mystique-driven marketing machine. If the firm gets behind the project with the same zeal and verve as it did with the iPod campaign, you can expect gaming on the Mac to skyrocket. Watch this space…

Emory University's "Frat Fashionisto" Pens Fashion Column Telling His "Poorly Dressed" Bros To Wear Statement Scarves
We don't know his name yet or what fraternity he's affiliated with at Emory University, but we know that he holds the position of "apparel chair" (that exists?) and goes by the moniker "Fratshionistau." We also know he takes his job very seriously. That's why he wrote a long, detailed email telling his bros how "poorly dressed" they are. Unlike bitchy sorority sister Rebecca Martinson, Fratshionistau takes full blame for this problem. That's why he decided to start writing a "weekly fashion column" for the "choice men" of his fraternity. It comes complete with a link to a porno site, just so you don't mistake him for a gay man. He's straight, ladies!
After the jump, you can read the first installment of his column, sent via email, where he advises his fellow dudebros to wear "cuffed paints" (I think he means pants, but he's the fashinisto, not me) and "statement scarves." For some reason, I don't think the boys are going to be into that look.
Boys I hope you all had a fantastic break filled with family, friends, and a lack of worry. As you being your long or short trip back to campus I hope you take the time to read this.
You are poorly dressed.
I'm glad that is off my chest. Now as your apparel chair I realize this is a reflection of my poor performance, so, in order to combat this I have decided to begin a weekly fashion column for you choice men.
You lucky bastards.
Anyways this column will include what is "hot stock" for the season, one designer you should definitely emulate, and more importantly, what NOT to wear. This should set you all on the correct path to being a frat fashionista, but in some of the more severe cases (I'm looking at you Liz) my door is always open to one-on-one advising. Before this e-mail gets any longer I'll start the column.
Fall 2013:
What is in this season? Glad you asked.
Earthy Tones: Can't go wrong with mama earth's natural beauty, or even plaid (Blake you are in luck). Extra points if you can incorporate Burgundy.
Cuffed Paints: whether blue denims or brown oxfords, roll 'em up boys. These will pair amazingly with that pair of high top sneakers you've wanted to hit mags with.
Statement Scarves: I know this one is a stretch for most of you that aren't Aris, but statement scarves can make your ensemble heat up as the temperatures drop.
Designer you want to be looking like:
Japanese label, Talking About The Abstraction, just released their Spring/Summer lookbook, and boys, THIS IS HUGE. Start putting the spare change in the piggy bank if you want to look like a high roller. Link below, but remember, I am not liable for your computer's water damage when you begin to drool over the keyboard.
[Porn Link redacted]
Try Again, Bro:
The final part of this column, and the most important, is what not to wear. One in particular has been bugging me so I'll just come out with it, dress pants need to be hemmed. When you are sporting formal wear the most important thing is not threadcount (sorry Jaffe), but FIT! So find a local tailor and clean it up. This message holds true even if you are going to a date party with that cute Theta or headed to that interview with Bain. But I am all about being constructive with my advice, so I'll give you an option to up your formal wear game…
Look sharp and keep the bank unbroken by putting on this J Crew Ludlow Suit
Thanks for your time bros, I hope you take all of this to heart and make a concerted effort to look good, it'll go a long way, trust me.
Love & Respect,
Your Fratshionistau

AP College Football Writer
Maryland and Rutgers will bring along a lot of familiar faces when
they enter the Big Ten this fall. The hard part will be getting to know
their new opponents.
The Terrapins return 18 starters, nine on each side of the ball, from
the team that finished fifth in its division in its last year in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
The experience is a big advantage for Maryland, coach Randy Edsall
said. "We fully expect to be able to compete as we come into the Big
Rutgers, which tied for sixth in its one year in the American
Athletic Conference, has nine starters back on offense and seven on
Scarlet Knights coach Kyle Flood, like Edsall, is confident his team
can hold up in the Big Ten. He'll know for sure after a mid-season
stretch of games against Michigan at home, Ohio State and Nebraska on
the road and Wisconsin at home.
Maryland winds up spring practice Friday and Rutgers on April 26. The
next task for Edsall and Flood will be to study opponents they'll
encounter for the first time.
Edsall said he and his staff already have started breaking down video
of Big Ten teams. Flood said he'll start that project in in May, a
month earlier than he typically delves into opponents.
Flood said he already knows one thing about the Big Ten. "It's going to be physical. That's for sure."
A look around the Big Ten East:
INDIANA: The Hoosiers' top priority is shoring up a defense that
allowed 528 yards and 39 points a game. Brian Knorr takes over as
coordinator after holding the same job at Wake Forest the past three
seasons. He inherits nine starters. Coach Kevin Wilson said Knorr has
been trying to instill a "culture of competitiveness" among his charges,
and progress has been apparent this spring.
MARYLAND: The move to the Big Ten might cause a little friction in
C.J. Brown's family the week of the Nov. 15 game against Michigan State.
Brown, the first QB to throw for 2,000 yards and run for 500 at
Maryland, is the son of Clark Brown, who quarterbacked the Spartans in
1983-84. "He's a Spartan fan," C.J. said. "When we play them, I expect
him to be in red, and he'll be cheering us on." C.J. will be a
sixth-year senior. He received a medical hardship for an ACL tear in
MICHIGAN: After last year's 7-6 campaign, all eyes are on the offense
and new coordinator Doug Nussmeier. The Wolverines struggled to move
the ball while losing six of their last eight games, and they were no
juggernaut in last week's spring game. Coach Brady Hoke said if the
season started tomorrow, incumbent Devin Gardner would be the QB. But
Shane Morris was good enough to carry the competition over to the fall.
MICHIGAN STATE: The Big Ten champion Spartans are looking for more
from QB Connor Cook, who was second-team All-Big Ten and the Rose Bowl
offensive MVP in his first year as the starter. Coach Mark Dantonio said
Cook has had an "outstanding" spring and is looking to become more
productive as a runner. The Spartans also return 1,400-yard rusher
Jeremy Langford, four of the top five receivers and five starters from
the Big Ten's top defense.
OHIO STATE: QB Braxton Miller led an offense that set a Big Ten
rushing record, and he'll be going into his fourth year as the starter.
Coach Urban Meyer's biggest worry is protecting Miller. Only one starter
returns on the offensive line, and the unit didn't impress Meyer this
spring. "We've had the luxury of having a very good offensive line the
last two years, and you hope some guys step up and get better," he said.
"We've got two guys playing offensive line and you need five. That's an
area we aren't where we need to be."
PENN STATE: Allen Robinson is gone after accounting for almost a
quarter of the Nittany Lions' offense in 2013. His departure should give
6-foot-1, 200-pound Geno Lewis a chance to become a prime target for QB
Christian Hackenberg. First-year coach James Franklin said he's been
impressed with Lewis' leaping ability this spring, especially on deep
balls. "Him and Hackenberg are building a rapport and chemistry with
each other, and that's going to have to continue to grow," Franklin
RUTGERS: First-year offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen is sorting
out a red-hot QB competition, with Mike Bimonte and Chris Laviano
challenging Gary Nova. Nova was benched the last three games last season
after starting 23 in a row. Eleven players are out this spring because
of injury, including top running back Paul James.

AC/DC Wine Collection Released in Australia
Foster's may be Australian for "beer," but AC/DC will be Australian for "wine" now that Warburn Estate, a top winery Down Under, has released a collection of vino based on and influenced by the band. The AC/DC libations will be purchasable at Woolworth's, Dan Murphy and BWS.
AC/DC The Wine will be available in four configurations, with key songs from both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras factoring into the names of the wines.
The AC/DC wine set is as follows:
* "AC/DC Back In Black Shiraz" (2010 750mL Dry Red)
* "AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato" (2011 750mL Sweet White)
* "AC/DC Highway To Hell Cabernet Sauvignon" (2008 750mML Dry Red)
* "AC/DC Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc" (2010 750mL Dry White)
Angus Young and his crew aren't the only rockers to make a foray into the wine world. Kiss have had their own wine –of course they have! Whitesnake and Queensyche have had their own wines. So did Warrant. In light of Thursday's passing of former Warrant frontman Jani Lane, who publicly battled alcohol issues, the thought of a Warrant wine makes us just a little bit sadder.

| Article Summary:
Everyone wants to know how to get abs that look like a washboard. The whole world seems obsessed with getting a smaller waistline and with good reason. Over 1/3 of all children are overweight, the number one killer is heart disease and there is more stress in the world right now than most of us can handle on a daily basis.
Chances are if you aren't out of work, then you are worried about the next pay check. If you own a business, then you worry about the market, or the prospect of new clients coming in the door. It all adds up to a tubby stomach that just never seems to go away.
Stuff On The Market
There are more abdominal machines on the market than any other exercise device. It is really amazing how every station has some commercial on about how to get that set of abs you have always dreamed of with this simple machine, in just minutes a day.
Well the idea that some exercise device is going to slam you with a 6-pack is just foolish. Making the television commercial only requires some money, a device/gimmick, a premade model with abs (available at any national competition), and a lot of hype.
No university study is going to show that some abdominal machine is going to work, while you eat like a pig and don't live a healthy fitness lifestyle. You are better off getting a tummy tuck!
The Tricks
While there may not be any easy fix it, there are some simple things that you can do to improve your abs. It starts with a simple, but effective trick. The old "sucking the gut in" has more benefits than you know.
Suck In The Gut:
As most of us gain and lose weight, the wall of the internal abdomen is stretched and it lies out farther and farther as we age. No surprise that everything starts to sag on you as you get older. If you are female and ever gave birth to children, then that area has been stretched beyond belief, but there is hope, just look at
Jennifer Nicole Lee.
Other factors associated with stomach sag are medications, such as anti-depressants and birth control pills. The more processed foods we eat and the more we eat high trans fat and high fructose corn syrup, the more the belly fat will grow.
Corn syrup does not require insulin like glucose and starts to convert to fat very quickly. That is a major reason why America has lost control of its waistline after the soda makers changed over to high fructose corn syrup. It is cheaper and it tastes sweeter, so you use less of it than sucrose (table sugar).

The More Processed Foods, Trans Fat And High Fructose
Corn Syrup We Eat, The More The Belly Fat Will Grow.
Years ago, a simple device was available that actually worked. Weider was well known for their belt buckle that looked like a 45 pound plate. It had a simple design, in that it had a vibrating device in it, and a pressure switch on the back of the plate.
As you would let your stomach relax, the pressure of your stomach would set off the switch and the buckle would vibrate. Keep your stomach sucked in, it would stop the vibration. A simple reminder helped you perform an isometric contraction all day long.
Abs Super Feature.
This comprehensive listing will feature ab workouts, a breakdown of the abs and its muscle parts, top ab muscle builders, and much more.
[ Check Out The Abs Super Feature Here! ]
So give it a try, for the remainder of this article, keep your stomach sucked in, while you continue to read. There are lots of times you can work on keeping your stomach pulled in. Folding laundry, walking, during
exercise, picking up socks, carrying groceries, are all great times to keep your stomach tight and firm.
The result is an increased abdominal tone, that will make you look instantly slimmer and it also helps to protect your lower back muscles.
The abdomen has several layers of muscle and we obviously only see the outer layer or the rectus abdominis; however, several other layers exist and deeper layers are made of fascia or connective tissues.
These are difficult to get to return to a smaller size, once they have been stretched, but it isn't impossible. It all starts with you learning to hold in that stomach. You are still holding that stomach in right? Do it harder, pull it in more.
Build Correct Posture:
Posture is often something that Chiropractors yell at you about and your second grade teacher, drill sergeants, and the occasional nun. Sit up straight, eyes front, are all things they tell us to do. Well, they are right.
Studies have shown that simply by standing up straighter, sitting up straighter, holding your shoulders back, we actually appear better to other people. We actually feel better too, there is more about our overall attitude that changes with even holding the correct posture.
| Good Posture:
Good posture is the stance which is attained "when the joints are not bent and the spine is aligned and not twisted." In this position, a person is thus able to completely and optimally attain balance and proportion of the body mass and framework. Good posture optimizes breathing and affects the circulation of bodily fluids.
Sitting correctly results in a 150% pressure on the spine, slumping over increases that pressure by over 50%. Now if you add the effects of sitting up straight and holding in your stomach, then you decrease the pressure by almost 88%.
Standing with your back to the wall, place your butt muscles, heels, shoulders and rear of your head against the wall, suck in that gut, then practice walking away and holding that position.
Tighten The Abs:
Now the last trick we are going to talk about is simple. Learn to keep that stomach pulled in while you are exercising and more so while you are working those abs. This allows for coordination of the internal abdominal layers and results in more muscle
fibers working together to maintain a smaller waistline.
The way your stomach looks is more closely related to the foods that you eat, or rather don't eat. Your age and general physical condition will also play a higher role in that smaller waist.
Get online now and order some proteins and get some good vegetables and start spreading your meals out to allow for proper digestion. Stay away from starchy foods like breads, pasta, cereals and that will be a greater role on the road to the little waistline.

Learning to Trust the Process
Friday, June 21, 2013
I started Sparking on May 6th. But I was too scared to see how much I weighed, so I started with an estimated weight. It took three days to get up the courage to weigh myself. When I did, I discovered that I'd over-estimated my weight by 60 pounds! Talk about body image distortion.
Once I had an accurate weight, I reset my account using that weight (which is why it looks like I started May 9th). I got my calorie range, and started swimming regularly. Now, I didn't really trust my range. So I tended to stay below that range. You see, I grew up with a very weight-obsessed, always-dieting grandmother in the days when the standard dieting rule was to limit oneself to 1200 calories a day. I didn't really trust the SparkPeople computation of my BMR. And because of that, I was not about to heed the warnings to eat more if I was more active than the amount used to calculate my range.
Well, after a few weeks of swimming almost daily, eating below range almost every day, and only losing 2 pounds, I had an "I give up" day of uncontrolled eating. I was very regretful the next day. But from that experience, I decided to heed the SparkPeople warning to eat in a range that supports my level of activity. So I reset my activity setting to account for a minimum of 5 hours of aerobic activity a week. That reset my calorie range, and I saw that for the first three weeks I should have been eating at least at the top end of my previous range.
Thus began my use of my new, higher, calorie range. I was nervous about it. It seemed so high! And, to be honest, I haven't trusted the number of calories that the activity calculator says I'm burning when I swim. So I was worried that I was working hard, but wasn't going to lose any weight.
During all this, my clothes were getting looser. I had gone down a pant size. But I worried that maybe it wasn't weight loss - maybe I was just less bloated. So when I next got on the scale, I was a little relieved to have lost 3 more pounds. Still, though, only 5 pounds in six weeks? I continued to worry that I was eating too much, and not burning what the activity calculator estimated.
Last week, I had to buy some new work pants two sizes smaller than what I was wearing May 6th. My tops are hanging lower. My sleeves are hanging longer. Yesterday, a client mentioned that I'd lost weight. And still, I worried that nothing was really happening. I tried to believe that I was adding muscle in place of fat, and that's why clothes were looser but the scale had barely moved. In the back of my head, though, I couldn't imagine I'd added much muscle.
Today I got on the scale. It's been 10 days since my last weigh-in. I prepared myself to be stuck at about the same weight I saw last time. So imagine my complete shock when the numbers came up five and a half pounds lighter than 10 days ago! I truly did a double take, blinked my eyes, and then stood there with my jaw hanging. The best part about today? I'm finally starting to feel like I can relax and trust my calorie range, and that my activity is truly burning calories. It's working!!!!!
Looking back at reports of my previous weeks, I notice a pattern in my eating. I tend to stay a bit below range Monday through Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, I tend to be mid to high end of my range. Saturday and Sunday, I tend to be high end to slightly above my range (by no more than 150 calories). What that has averaged out to across each week is a daily average that is in the lower half of my range. So I'm okay with that pattern. I feel like I'm starting to be able to listen to my body, and feed it as it requires. I'm making healthy choices, measuring and weighing food, and tracking everything. I'm also making sure to learn how to work in real-world foods, as well as indulgences in moderation. I'm not avoiding the macaroni salad, some pizza, or a candy bar once in a while. But I'm controlling portions, and making sure that I stay in range (averaged across a week, with no day more than 150 calories out of range). I'm also making sure that I'm staying in range with my carbs, fats, and protein. I'm not overdoing on carbs or fats, and not shorting myself protein. I'm working on learning how to eat for the rest of my life in a way that allows me to live at a healthy weight.
So...onward and downward! Step by step, change by change, decision by decision. The incremental progress will become exponential change over time.

Some experience creating ColdFusion applications and experience working with Flex and ActionScript 3 is recommended.
In this article, you will learn how to build a simple SMS chat application using Flex, ColdFusion, BlazeDS, and the Twilio SMS service. Twilio is a company that helps developers build applications that interact with phone calls and text messages. Twilio provides a simple API that emulates http Form POSTs and XML documents to simplify dialing and texting phone numbers. In the example application described in this article, the Twilio SMS service will communicate with a ColdFusion Server, which will then use the built-in BlazeDS service to push messages out to a Flex application. The sample application uses BlazeDS because it is important for the client to receive the messages as soon as it is received.
Note: The sample application works with ColdFusion 9, as well as with ColdFusion 8 Enterprise edition or ColdFusion 8 Developer edition.
The Twilio service enables you, as a developer, to interact with voice calls and SMS messages as if they were a part of your web service. Twilio makes a call to your web application, which responds with a specially formatted XML document telling Twilio what to do. You can also initiate phone calls or text messages by making calls out to the Twilio service.
Twilio is not free, but there is no charge to sign up as a developer. At the time of writing, when you sign up, they will give you a $30 credit, which is enough for thousands of SMS messages. If you are in the United States, you can also purchase phone numbers in your home area code for $1 per month.
To sign up for an account, follow these steps:
The dashboard displays some important information such as your account balance, your Account SID, your Auth Token, your sandbox phone number, and your PIN for the sandbox. All of the documentation for the Twilio service is available from the Documentation link near the top of the screen.
Follow these steps to configure Twilio to communicate with your ColdFusion server:
Set the API version to 2010-04-01.
You do not need to change the Voice URL for the purposes of this article.
ColdFusion 8 and ColdFusion 9 both have BlazeDS bundled in so if you have one of those installed you can continue without installing any additional software. If you installed ColdFusion 8, and opted not to have LiveCycle Data Services (the full-featured bigger brother of BlazeDS) installed, you can follow the instructions in Aaron West's post Integrating BlazeDS with ColdFusion 8 to install it.
When a message comes into your CFM from Twilio, it will tell ColdFusion to build a message and send it out to BlazeDS via an event gateway. Before that happens though, you'll need to configure this event gateway.
The first step is to create a new Destination on which the application will communicate. Think of the Destination as a dedicated conduit between your clients and server.
Start by navigating to your BlazeDS configuration directory. Go to the [coldfusion-install-directory]\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\ directory.
Note: This is not a directory that would be maintained under your web server's root if you were using a normal installation of ColdFusion.
<destination> entry within the
<service> node:
<destination id="sms">
<adapter ref="cfgateway"/>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
Note the name of the
<destination> that you are creating, as well as the name of the
gatewayid. I have kept these names the same—in this case,
sms— to avoid any confusion later on.
Next, you need to write the configuration for the event gateway.
Open sms.cfg and set the
destination property as follows:
I suggest starting ColdFusion either from the command line or from ColdFusion Builder so you can see the console output.
Alternatively, you can check the server.log file located in the ColdFusion log directory for any error messages resulting from the configuration changes you just made.
Now that you have set up the BlazeDS configuration, you need to set up ColdFusion to use it.
I prefer to set the startup mode to Manual when working on my development server, but if you plan on deploying this configuration on a production server, you should set that option to Automatic.
Now that you have set up the back-end configuration, you are ready to write the ColdFusion code to handle the incoming messages and outgoing messages. You will end up with two ColdFusion files (a CFM and a CFC), one for each direction.
msg = structNew();
msg.headers = structNew();
msg.headers.gatewayid = "sms";
msg.headers['TYPE'] = "SMS";
msg.body = structNew();
msg.body['fromNumber'] = form.From;
msg.body['toNumber'] = form.To;
msg.body['message'] = form.Body;
msg.body['serial'] = now();
msg.destination = "sms";
<cfcontent type="text/xml"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
This is the file that you configured Twilio to call when an incoming SMS message is received. The purpose of this file is to package up the data Twilio passes in and send it over to the event gateway.
When Twilio calls the CFM file, it will pass what appears to the ColdFusion server to be a form submission with about two dozen fields, including the phone number of the person who sent the SMS
(form.FROM), the message
(form.BODY), the number they sent the message to
(form.TO), and a few fields dealing with the location of the phone number's registered owner. For this request, you do need to reply to the Twilio service with what you want to do with the conversation/thread. In this case, however, you will tell Twilio that you don't want to do anything.
Sending the data to the event gateway involves creating a new structure that includes properties that the gateway will be expecting. You need to implement the
HEADERS.GATEWAYID, and
DESTINATION properties of this structure. Both the
body and the
headers are structures themselves, and can contain any data you wish to pass along to the end client. The code above sets the
HEADERS.TYPE property to "
SMS", so you can parse for that later on. It also sets the
BODY.TONUMBER, and
BODY.MESSAGE properties to the proper fields coming in from Twilio. The CFM also appends a unique serial number to the message, as BlazeDS will not pass along messages that appear to be duplicates (seemingly duplicate messages are common with SMS messages). After assembling the structure, the code above sends it to the event gateway by invoking
Lastly, you will need to tell Twilio what to do with the message. Since Twilio won't need to do anything further with the message, the CFM responds with essentially an empty XML document. If you do not do this, subsequent calls from Twilio may fail.
When the Flex application publishes a message to BlazeDS, it will be picked up by the blank CFC that you created earlier. So, the next step is to add to the CFC a function that will pass on the message from BlazeDS to Twilio. Luckily, sending messages to Twilio is just as easy as receiving them. You simply have to do Form POST to the Twilio service with the proper fields filled out.
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cffunction name="onIncomingMessage" returntype="any">
<cfargument name="event" type="struct" required="true" />
<cfif arguments.event.data.headers.type EQ "SMS">
<cfhttp method="post" username="AC00000000000000000000000" password="350000000000000000000000" url="https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/AC00000000000000000000000/SMS/Messages">
<cfhttpparam name="From" type="formfield" value="4150000000">
<cfhttpparam name="To" type="formfield" value="#arguments.event.data.body.toNumber#">
<cfhttpparam name="Body" type="formfield" value="#arguments.event.data.body.message#">
<cfreturn arguments.event.data>
password, and URL in the
cfhttp tag to reflect the values you received when you signed up for a Twilio account.
cfhttpparam named
from with the Twilio phone number you were assigned.
The CFC code starts with the function that is required for all event gateway CFCs:
onIncomingMessage. This function is passed a single structure (named
event) that contains the message that is published by the Flex client. To send the message out, the CFC uses the
CFHTTP tag, which will make the REST based call to Twilio, and the
CFHTTPPARAM tags to pass along the
TO, and
BODY form parameters. The
URL portion of the
CFHTTP will need to include the Twilio Account SID you were assigned earlier (after the
/Accounts/). You also need to pass in your Account SID as the
username for the request and your Auth Token as the
password. Finally, be sure to set the
FROM value to the Twilio phone number you were assigned.
With the entire back end set up and working, you can turn your attention to the client-side code. The Flex application simply displays the incoming messages in a List control, and enables the user to respond to messages typed in a TextInput control. The example below uses Spark components (Flex SDK 4.0+), but the concepts apply to Flex 2 or Flex 3 as well.
Note: A completed Flex application is included with the sample files for this article. If you prefer, you can import the SMSChatApp.fxp Flex project file into Flash Builder instead of building the application with the steps that follow.
Now it's time to create the Flex application's user interface.
Add a Label, a List, a TextArea, and an HGroup component aligned vertically from top to bottom. For each item, set the left and right boundaries to 0 (so they are pinned to the sides), and set their top and bottom properties appropriately.
Alternatively, you can insert the following MXML in Source View:
<s:Label y="10" horizontalCenter="0"/>
<s:List left="0" right="0" top="34" bottom="111"></s:List>
<s:TextArea left="0" right="0" bottom="39" height="64"/>
<s:HGroup left="0" right="0" bottom="0" height="32" verticalAlign="middle">
Set the
<s:Application> tag's
width property to 350.
The user will type messages in the TextArea element, and received messages will be displayed in the List element.
<s:Label text="Send To:"/>
<mx:Spacer width="100%" height="10"/>
<s:Button label="Send"/>
The user will type the phone number (to send the SMS message to) in the TextInput control, and the Button control will act as the send button (see Figure 4).
Next, you will connect the application to the BlazeDS server within ColdFusion. This is done through two tags in the Flex SDK:
Producer and
Consumer. The
Producer tag is used to send data to BlazeDS (and in this case the event gateway), and the
Consumer tag is used to receive data.
<Consumer> and
<Producer> tags to the
<fx:Declarations> section of your code.
<s:Producer id="sendToServer" destination="sms" />
<s:Consumer id="gotFromServer" destination="sms" />
initApp(), which will be called when the application starts:
public function initApp():void
This function calls the consumer's
subscribe() function to connect to the BlazeDS server. The producer will automatically connect when the first message is publish.
applicationComplete="initApp()" to the
Application root tag so that the
initApp() function is called when the application starts.
Next, you need to adjust the top label's
text property to reflect the application's actual connection status with the BlazeDS server.
text="Connected to Server : {gotFromServer.subscribed}"
Sending a message is straightforward. Simply assemble an asynchronous data packet containing the SMS message and send it off to the BlazeDS server.
import mx.messaging.messages.AsyncMessage;
protected function sendMessage():void
var msg:AsyncMessage = new AsyncMessage();
msg.headers.TYPE = "SMS";
msg.body.toNumber = toNumber.text;
msg.body.message = messageToSend.text;
msg.body.serial = new Date();
messageToSend.text = "";
click="sendMessage()" to the Send button:
<s:Button label="Send" click="sendMessage()"/>
<s:TextArea left="0" right="0" bottom="39" height="64" id="messageToSend"/>
<s:TextInput id="toNumber"/>
sendMessage() function builds the message packet in the structure that the ColdFusion code is expecting. This includes setting the
headers.TYPE property to "
SMS", as well as setting the
toNumber and
message properties of the body. The function sets the
serial property so that BlazeDS doesn't ignore any subsequent similar messages that the user sends.
After the packet is built,
sendMessage() passes the asynchronous data packet to the Producer's
send() method. The Producer will connect to BlazeDS (if it is not already connected), and send the message to the destination. The code will then be processed by ColdFusion, and passed back to the application via the Consumer once ColdFusion processes it.
As a last step,
sendMessage() clears the message text box so that the user does not inadvertently send the same message again.
Receiving messages from the BlazeDS server is also really easy. All that's needed is a new function that takes a single MessageEvent parameter. This function is set as the message event handler for the Consumer. When any message comes in from BlazeDS within the SMS destination, this function is invoked. The MessageEvent's
message property contains the message just as it was processed by ColdFusion.
Follow these steps to set up message reception:
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable] protected var messageList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
<s:List left="0" right="0" top="34" bottom="111" dataProvider="{messageList}">
The default item renderer for the Spark List component is set up for strings, which makes it easy to display the SMS messages in the List control.
gotMessage() function, which takes the MessageEvent as a parameter:
import mx.messaging.events.MessageEvent;
protected function gotMessage(e:MessageEvent):void
messageList.addItem('[' + e.message.body.fromNumber + '] ' + e.message.body.message);
toNumber.text = e.message.body.fromNumber;
This function creates a new string containing the message's
BODY and
fromNumber properties and adds it to the ArrayCollection.
It also sets the
toNumber control's
text property to the message sender's phone number to make it easy for the user to respond.
gotMessage() as the Consumer's event handler:
<s:Consumer id="gotFromServer" destination="sms" message="gotMessage( event )" />
The application is now complete. To test it, follow these steps:
Verify that within a few seconds the "Connected to Server" label changes to "True".
Next, try sending a message to your cell phone.
Type a short message and then type your phone number in the Send To text input in the bottom of the screen and click Send.
It should not take more than a few seconds for your message to arrive on your cell phone.
Receiving messages should be just as simple.
If you are using the sandbox account with Twilio, you will need to prefix your sandbox PIN to each message you send back. Since Twilio uses a cloud infrastructure to communicate to your application, the address the service sends messages from may change. So if you are using a Developer edition of ColdFusion (not the 30-day trial or full version), you may need to restart ColdFusion on occasion to get around the two IP address limitation. If you have any difficulties, check your ColdFusion console, application logs, and the Twilio Debugger, which is available when you login to Twilio.
If you've followed the steps in this article, you have developed an infrastructure in ColdFusion and BlazeDS to allow a Flex based application to communicate with mobile telephones via the SMS protocol and the Twilio service. Now that you understand the basics of the Twilio service and how BlazeDS works, you can create your own applications enabled for real-time notifications, or build real-time and multiplayer games that use voice and texting services. To learn more about Twilio, see the Twilio developer documentation.

Joshua Jackson Captains UFO
Robert Evans adaptation of UK TV show
The Robert Evans-produced film adaptation UFO has been moving steadily closer and closer to release, with visual effects guru Matthew Gratzner hired to direct and now Joshua Jackson hired to head up the cast in the feature adaptation of the cult 1970s Gerry Anderson show.
Jackson will play Paul Foster, a test pilot who joins SHADO, the secret organisation based beneath a film studio and dedicated to fighting aliens. In the TV series, Foster became aware of the existence of both SHADO and aliens after his jet was severely damaged in an air battle between the two, and started an investigation that threatened to reveal SHADO's existence.
The organisation's head, Ed Straker, considered having Foster killed, but was sufficiently impressed to recruit him instead. It kinda seems to us like that particular storyline would make a very good introduction to SHADO's world for cinemagoers, so we wouldn't be surprised at all to see Foster's story become the first act.
Gratzner and the erstwhile Pacey Whitter are hoping to start shooting in the spring, so look out for more casting news on this in the near future.

Willie Jane
Restaurant in Los Angeles
Southern & Soul Food Restaurant
So you've fed at FEED and you just can't Gjelina today, something inside is seeking a southern sojourn with spot of soul.
So you continue your meander down Abbot Kinney, that sea-centric boulevard that boasts a disproportionate amount of artsy-indie trendsetting torchbearers and as of late, an explosion of destination defining culinary chops. Keep going north. Stop at Willie Jane. And land at true south.
In the late Lilly's layout, a parade of parlours string together, bar to back porch, cultivating an altogether charmed, albeit low-lit setting. Expect nothing cliché, hokey or honkey tonk, but a refreshing southern salute with a modern mix. Mercury glass mirrors and mason pendants mingle with moonshines, muscats, and jalapeno mac n cheese.
Though no southern touting stomping ground is legit without a biscuit to boast of. The burnt orange honey butter that accompanies Willie Jane's spin on the southern staple, served with the steam still rising from the breadboard, is a warm citrus dream. Slather liberally.
Libations take a liberal spin on classics, my "Garden" blended Citron Geranium vodka, fennel dill gin, and lime Lillet. Herbal, clean, delightful.
The devilled eggs deliver a deliciously smoky flavour – a light but ample beginning. But that cast iron natural chicken with grilled lemon and poached garlic, with that crispy skin – it's show stopping.
And that warm golden raisin oatmeal cookie finish, with the mascarpone inside? Who knew Little Debbie grew up?
Undenying details right down to the vintage floral china and grandma's mismatched silver, Bon Iver in the air, a scene both hip and historic results. The produce is picked from the Cook's Garden next door (it shares the crop with fellow phenom Tasting Kitchen), and talks of bottomless mimosas at brunch echo within the walls. Southern comfort has arrived to round out the booming Abbot Kinney collective. Come on out and drink in the drawl.

Mike Jerrick and Sheinelle Jones of Fox 29 news couldn't contain themselves after interviewing the Olympic swimmer, during which he reveals his weird philosophy.
Gearing up to release his unscripted series, Ryan Lochte just hinted that he might not fit for a live TV show. The eleven-time Olympic medalist gave silly answers when interviewed by Mike Jerrick and Sheinelle Jones on Fox 29 news' "Good Day Philadelphia", causing the two anchors to collapse into fits of laughter.
The interview ran as normal as it could be until Jerrick asked Lochte a pickup line that would get his attention from women. There was a few seconds of silence before the competitive swimmer responded with, "Good question," and a puzzling statement, "My philosophy is if you're a man at night, you gotta be a man in the morning."
When asked how it felt to be followed by camera for his reality series, the 28-year-old hunk shared, "You know, I'm getting used to it. The first couple days it was a little weird. I mean, I was brushing my teeth and the camera was there."
Confused Jones said, "I thought the bathroom was off-limits," to which Lochte explained without much success, "Well, I guess there's like, uh, there's like, uh, there's like a mirror, with a sink and then you've got the bathroom, so you've got to separate..."
After ending the interview, the two Philly anchors couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Seriously, how are they going to put together ... 13 weeks of programming?" Jerrick asked while Jones, still laughing uncontrollably, said, "My lash is gonna come off." She added, "He is good looking... We're going to get in trouble for this!"
Lochte's reality show "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" will premiere Sunday, April 21 at 10 P.M. EST on E!. It will follow the athlete as "he prepares for the Rio games in 2016 while building his fashion line, making buzz-worthy media appearances, dealing with his unconventional family and loyal friends and, always, searching for 'the one'."

BELTON — Children crawled under a rope on their hands and knees, threw water balloons at two dummies, shot airsoft guns at a target and finished their exercise with push-ups and sit-ups.
About 20 children participated in the obstacle course Thursday at Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area, which was part of 2nd Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment, 504th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade's Reconnaissance Family Appreciation Week.
While the course for children mimicked the ones their parents use during training, the spouses in the unit participated in a pink spur ride at Fort Hood.
Katie Jackson said going through the obstacle course gave her deeper appreciation for what her husband, Spc. Keven Jackson does in the field.
"I took for granted what he did, like 'Oh, he just goes to work,'" Jackson said. "But it's not really that easy. By the end of the day I was exhausted and (I wasn't even out there) that long. I'm glad I don't have to wear that uniform everyday, but it was really fun to get to see what (my husband) does."
Jackson said she was glad the "very family-oriented" unit offered events
throughout the week for spouses and children to participate in.
On June 19, families got to watch soldiers take part in a static line jump at Fort Hood.
Lt. Col. John P. Cogbill, squadron commander, said he hopes the appreciation week did a good job familiarizing families about what their soldiers do.
"We want to expose our kids to what it is their parents do when they go to work," he said. "We spend a lot of time away from our families, so we want them to know what type of training we're doing and why we do it."
Cogbill said the fun events also thanked families for the support they give their soldiers.
"We're always so busy training," he said. "It's just good whether it's once a year or twice a year to just clear the calendar and invite everybody out and just have fun, and enjoy each other and enjoy everything Fort Hood has to offer."
His son, Jack Cogbill, 11, said he enjoyed the interactivity of spur rides for the parents and children.
"They did a good job setting it all up for the kids. I learned a lot about what they do out on the battlefield, what they train to do (overseas) and what they do on their daily lives," he said. "I thought today was really, really fun."

Former president of the Songwriters Guild of America, George David Weiss, passed away at the age of 89 at his home in New Jersey.
George David Weiss, the man behind classic tunes "What a Wonderful World" and "Can't Help Falling in Love" has died at his home in New Jersey. He was 89. The songwriter also penned "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for The Tokens with Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore.
His other credits include "Confess", which was recorded by Patti Page, Perry Como's "Surrender" and Sammy Davis, Jr.'s 1946 hit "Mr. Wonderful". Weiss was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984.
A former president of the Songwriters Guild of America, Weiss, was born in Manhattan in 1921 and fought his family over his passion for music - his mother wanted her son to become a lawyer. He graduated from the Julliard School in New York with a degree in music and went on to serve as a military bandleader in World War II before becoming a full-time songwriter.

There will be some new electricity in the air this year when the Transcona Nationals take the field.
The club will be able to play and practise under a new set of lights thanks to a grant of more than $100,000 from the federal government announced last week.
Club president Steve Hoel said the Nationals — led by past-president Cory Knapp — have been trying to get their facility lit for four or five years.
"We've been trying to rebuild the club to be the best in the city," said the Transcona resident, who's been involved with the club for 15 years as a coach and volunteer. "We're one of the big three clubs with the North Winnipeg Nomads and the St. Vital Mustangs and now all three have lights."
Elmwood-Transcona MP Lawrence Toet announced the grant, which comes from the federal government's Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund.
"Athletic facilities like this are the foundation of our community," Toet said. "They bring families and residents together in a way that's very unique."
The Nationals' clubhouse will also receive some exterior renovations and new windows. But the main thing for Hoel — who has had the difficult task of producing practice schedules that give all teams a chance to run some drills before dark — is the lights.
"In fall practices, we're sometimes juggling around six or seven teams on one field," he said. "Now we can schedule teams later. Older teams can practise from 8:00 to 10:00, which will give us more time."
The new lighting will also potentially be a revenue generator for the club. The Manitoba Minor Football Association and Midget Football League of Manitoba can now play night games, and the field can also be rented for high school games, and the provincial team program.
"We'll probably do a little bit of that this year and see how it goes," Hoel said.
The club has been a part of the Transcona landscape since 1957, and in recent years has seen many of its players go on to star at the high school level with the Murdoch MacKay Clansmen.
"Football is huge in Transcona," said Hoel, who is working with the midget team's offensive line this season. "It's growing non-stop. Having a better facility will be a vast improvement for our players."
Also benefiting from the building upgrades will be the Canterbury Park Day Care, which operates in the clubhouse.
