If you think your child is drinking or taking drugs, you're probably right. Experts share why substance abuse is more dangerous for teens than adults, tips to keep your children drug free, signs of substance abuse in teens, and how to talk to your child about substance abuse.
Donna Mae DePola, president and CEO of The Resource Training Center, which supports individuals who have a history of substance abuse, has been helping those with addictions for more than a decade. In that time, she has seen many teenagers in need of help. Often before they begin using drugs, they are children with A-averages in school. Then they find a drug to try, usually marijuana, which they assume is insignificant. Within a year or so, the downward spiral begins. They meet more people who smoke and are introduced to harder drugs.
According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, adolescence is the critical period both for starting to smoke, drink, or use other drugs and for experiencing more harmful consequences as a result. The teen brain is designed to take risks, including experimenting with these substances and, because it is still developing, it is more vulnerable to their harmful effects.
"I had a client who started smoking pot once in a while at 14," says DePola, whose Resource Training Center now has outposts in Brooklyn and Manhattan. "Before she was 15, she started snorting heroin, and three months later she was shooting heroin. She is now 35 and has been clean for four months. Over the years, I sent her to 30 detox facilities or rehab clinics."
Unlike older adults, teens who smoke, drink, or use other drugs greatly increase their risk of addiction. One in 8 high school students have a substance use disorder involving nicotine, alcohol, or other drugs. Nine out of 10 people who meet the criteria for substance use disorders began smoking, drinking, or using other drugs before they turned 18. For those who started using any of these substances before age 18, 1 in 4 are addicted, compared with 1 in 25 who first started to smoke, drink, or use other drugs at age 21 or older.
"Baby boomer parents often downplay the potential risks given their own experiences with pot when they were younger," says Jeffrey L. Reynolds, Ph.D., executive director for the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. "But we now know much more about how the drug impacts adolescent brain development and how today's pot is far more potent."
Now more than ever before parents are key to keeping their kids drug free, says Mark Edison, Ph.D., an addiction psychologist in Manhattan. But it's not enough to simply set a good example. Instead parents need to start talking to their children about drinking and drugs whenever their children start asking about the substances. If they don't ask, parents should start talking to their children around age 10. And, even though the conversations may be hard, parents should go slow and answer all of their children's questions.
This may be, Edison says, the first step in developing the strong parent-adolescent relationship that will help children avoid drugs and alcohol later. Parents should also monitor their children's behavior, set clear expectations for behavior, and make after-school activities available. Getting involved in school and community activities is a great way for parents to see what their children are exposed to as well.
"If children do start using drugs or drinking problematically, you can expect to see changes in mood and behavior that persist over a few weeks," Edison says.
Parents may notice a decline in grades, lack of interest in things your child used to be interested in, changing groups of friends, low energy, unpredictable episodes of anger or irritability, and finding alcohol or drugs among your child's belongings. Also, because prescription drug abuse is high in New York state, DePola cautions that parents should look for missing prescriptions from their medicine cabinets.
Reality? If you think your children are using drugs or drinking, they probably are, Edison says. However, he cautions that parents should not panic at the first sign of drug use. Instead, they should try to figure out what's overwhelming or overly challenging in their child's life and devise a plan to improve it.
"Start by saying, 'We think this is tough for you, so here's what we plan to do to fix it,'" Edison says. "Parents should gently note some of the problematic behaviors they've observed, saying that they think these are the result of the child's suffering, which should get their child talking. Parents should add that they know their child is smart, so they know she is trying things to improve her life—that they wouldn't be surprised if she were drinking or smoking marijuana."
By pausing throughout this conversation and giving their children a lot of time to talk, parents should develop a better understanding of why their children are using drugs and alcohol and how they can help them. If children ask about their parents' drinking or drug use, parents can give a brief but honest answer, letting their children know that they tried drugs or alcohol at a young age, but that they wished they hadn't or say that they waited to try them until they were older—whichever is most accurate.
And, Edison says, by realizing that children may be in situations where drugs or alcohol are prevalent, parents can help their children determine appropriate responses. Parents should tell their children: We don't want you to drink or use drugs, but if you ever run into trouble with drinking and drugs, you can call us and we will come to get you immediately, no questions asked. All we care about is your health and safety.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptians on the streets of Cairo said on Monday they had reservations about opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, who has offered to act as transitional leader to prepare Egypt for democratic elections.
ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), returned to Egypt on the eve of the protests which swept the country on Friday, when tens of thousands of people called for the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak.
Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the IAEA, ElBaradei and the powerful Muslim Brotherhood said on Sunday he had a mandate from opposition groups to make contact with the army and negotiate a government of national unity.
At least one opposition party, the Arab nationalist Karama Party of Hamdin Sabahi, has rejected ElBaradei outright as a transitional figure, saying he was trying to jump on the bandwagon of the popular uprising.
ElBaradei joined protesters at the hub of anti-Mubarak protests in central Cairo on Sunday.
ElBaradei, 68, began overt opposition to Mubarak on his return to Egypt in February 2010 and won a widespread following among the young and the middle classes.
But the Egyptian authorities harassed his supporters and ElBaradei lost much credibility through his long absences abroad. The official media tried to ridicule him, saying he knew nothing about Egypt and had no political experience.
Some elements of the government's campaign appear to have stuck. "ElBaradei won't do. He doesn't have the experience here and he's a little weak," said Khaled Ezzat, 34, an information technology engineer who had joined the evening vigil in Tahrir Square.
Omar Mahdi, a sales manager, said: "I'm not convinced by ElBaradei, even as a transitional figure, he hasn't really been present in the country."
Some of the protesters objected to ElBaradei on the grounds that he was too close to the United States, despite the frictions between him and the U.S. administration over the Iranian and Israeli nuclear programmes when he was head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog body.
"ElBaradei's positions towards other Arab countries, and towards Iran and North Korea, were not neutral... So I don't find him very acceptable," said Walid Abdel-Mit'aal, 36, who works for a public sector company.
"He would follow Mubarak in the same policies and would take U.S. aid," he added, reflecting an anti-American strand which was largely absent in the first four days of protests.
ElBaradei's cosmopolitanism -- he lived abroad for years and speaks fluent English -- may be an advantage among some Egyptians but it is also a source of suspicion among others.
The protesters in Tahrir Square suggested several alternatives to ElBaradei as transitional leader, including Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, a popular former foreign minister, the president of the constitutional court or the president of the supreme administrative court.
Others said they were open-minded and what mattered was changing the constitution to ensure that no one man clings to power as long as Mubarak, who took office in 1981.
"ElBaradei is a very acceptable option because he will not stay," said Islam Ashraf, 24, a quality operations coordinator. "But we're not really interested in faces. What matters to us is having another system," he said.

Russia's envoy to the United Nations says Moscow will back the Palestinian bid to secure statehood at the U.N.
Vitaly Churkin told Rossiya-24 news channel in an interview aired Monday that the Russian government will back any approach that Palestine adopts in its effort to seek membership in the United Nations.
A vote on the Palestinian statehood is expected to take place later this year in the U.N. General Assembly. A decision there will be largely symbolic, but the Palestinians believe a strong international endorsement will boost their position in future talks with the Israeli government. Both Israel, and its key ally, the United States, oppose the Palestinian bid at the U.N.
Churkin said that Moscow has supported Palestine's bid for statehood since 1988.

Guess what? With a day left to serve on his sentence, Reggie Hammond is approached by old pal, cop Jack Cates to help him crack another case. Now things are even more complicated: Jack is trying to clear his own name, Reggie wants the $500k Jack was loo
That the ream of screenwriters and spurious honourees with "characters by" credits, not least Eddie Murphy's own dubious "story by" notation, totals eight reveals what a hotchpotch of a sequel this was from the conceptual stages. Not that they had any greater aspiration than a greatest hits package of the first film. Although, where the original — hardly a pillar in the cathedral of cinema itself — set-about its purpose with a directness and punchy wit, here the plot, much like its stars, is over-fed, under-willing and noticeably plumper round the middle.
The simple Xeroxed process of liberating Reggie from the clink — where his sentence was dubiously extended due to a prison safe being emptied — seems tortuously long-winded, finally requiring a pair of evil bikers to force his prison bus off the road. Once back in the guardianship of Jack, it's like eight years had never passed. At least, that is what director Walter Hill desperately hopes for. So, as they track down the mysterious criminal mastermind known as the "Iceman", they must jockey for male dominance (again), come to respect one another (again) and even do a replica run round a redneck bar – the original's sparkiest concoction, nothing like as funny here.
Murphy, especially, seems out of sorts. He still lands the lines with that familiar groove of petty exasperation and put-upon indignation, but he looks ill-at-ease, nursing his wounds in safe formula after the failure of his dream project Harlem Nights. He's hardly helped by Hill's greater emphasis on action over comedy. By comparison, Nolte is far more content to go over old ground. Cates has, to some degree, moved on: giving up the booze, losing his girlfriend, turning out, if anything, more of system twisting maverick and Nolte shambles through it, a big, ugly bear with a sore head. Again.
The bigger budget pays for plenty more mechanical carnage, shot with the brash polish the best technicians grant you, but this is just "another" wearisome example of Hollywood's pointless idolatry of bleached out sequels.
Purposeless waste of director Walter Hill's energies.

During the premiere of 'Knight of Cups', the 'Batman Begins' actor comments on whether he is the best actor playing the Caped Crusader of all time.
Christian Bale praised "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" during the premiere of "Knight of Cups" on Tuesday, March 1. When asked whether he's the best Batman of all time, Christian told ET, "It depends on who you talk with. You can't be Adam West, it just depends what you're in the mood for. I love watching Adam West."
Previously, Christian's co-star in "The Dark Knight Rises" Morgan Freeman said that for his money, no one will ever stack up to his version of Batman. "You know, I'm happy for Ben [Affleck, who dons the cowl in the upcoming 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'], but I don't know how that's gonna work. Because the 'Dark Knight' was almost 'it.' Pretty much 'it,' " Morgan shared. "Did you see 'Batman Begins'? I don't think you can beat that."
Christian was happy when asked about Morgan's comments but he was much more diplomatic in his answers. "Everyone brings their own element to that - Ben [Affleck] will do that as well," the "American Hustle" actor explained, "I think the trailers are looking great and I'm looking forward to that. But right on for Morgan [Freeman] for saying no one will ever be that, I very much like him."
"Knight of Cups" is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on March 4. Of the movie production, Christian said, "I enjoy being a part of something that is an attempt at creating a different experience in film and definitely Terry's trying to do that. To me, it's more akin to a piece of music or a book where you feel like there's a very personal significance to you, which may be very, very different to the person next to you. He doesn't tell you how you're meant to be feeling, he just enjoys seeing what happens with the actors and seeing what the audience would feel."

The Oscar-nominated director is developing a half-hour comedy based on his 1986 first feature film debut.
Spike Lee is bringing his "She's Gotta Have It" into the small screen. The director/producer/writer is working on a comedy series, which is based on his 1986 first feature film debut, for Showtime.
According to Deadline, the TV show will be a "contemporary look at the characters and will explore Lee's unique and provocative points of view about race, gender, sexuality, relationships, and the gentrification in Brooklyn." Lee is set to write and attached to direct the reboot project.
Lee first gained recognition with "She's Gotta Have It", which he shot in 12 days in 1985 on a budget of $175,000. It won an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.
The movie stars Tracy Camilla Johns as a young, attractive, sexually independent Brooklynite who won't commit to any of her three suitors, played by Tommy Redmond Hicks, John Canada Terrell and Lee himself. Enjoying each of their company while still cherishing her personal freedom, Nora represents African American women's struggle in society at the time.

Video Games receive post-launch patches all the time. Whether it's to stomp out a pesky bug, tweak some settings for balancing purposes, or add new features, patches have become an industry mainstay. However, thanks to an interview over at Hookshot, it's been revealed how much a patch, no matter how big or small, costs the developers to apply — $40,000.
Holy. Damn.
Double Fine's Tim Schafer is the man responsible for dropping that info bomb. Schafer has had probably one of the best weeks of his entire life this past week, not only chatting with Minecraft creator "Notch" behind the scenes about funding a potential sequel to Psychonauts, but also getting a new point-and-click adventure game fully funded through Kickstarter within eight hours of announcing it. Life as been good to Mr. Schafer and his studio, Double Fine, as of late. So Hookshot caught up with the man to talk about a number of topics, revealing in the process just how much it costs a studio to patch their titles.
"Those systems [Xbox Live and PSN] as great as they are, they're still closed," Schafer said. "You have to jump through a lot of hoops, even for important stuff like patching and supporting your game. Those are things we really want to do, but we can't do it on these systems. I mean, it costs $40,000 to put up a patch – we can't afford that! Open systems like Steam, that allow us to set our own prices, that's where it's at, and doing it completely alone like Minecraft. That's where people are going."
That is a ridiculous amount of money just to fix something broken/missing from your game. How many games these days release with Day 1 patches? Do the developers of those games have to fork over that extra money just to make their game playable on its day of release? With a number so high, you would think developers would iron out all the bugs and problems before the game goes to press in order to bypass these ludicrous patch prices. Time and resources are obviously a factor here, but hot damn, that's a lot of cheddar to be spending right after your game gets shipped.
It's also interesting to do some crude math in situations like these. Patches usually range anywhere in size from 3 MB to 100 MB, roughly. If you have a patch that is only 3 MB, you're paying over $13 per byte to upload it! A 100 MB patch costs developers 40 cent per byte. The latter is a more economical value, but it's still nowhere near great.
Long story short: patches cost a ridiculous amount of money to fix your game if it releases on Xbox 360 and PS3. Therefore, it's probably wise to get the game right before it steps foot outside the studio that made it.

Really low interest rates…a bummer or a blessing?Kacie
Now that I have a few dollars to rub together in my pocket, I want that money to earn interest. When I opened an account with ING Direct several years ago, it was paying more than 4% interest. In recent years, some banks offered 5% on savings accounts!
These days, ING is offering a puny 1.1%. Whoop-de-doo. Still, better than nothing, right? And it's definitely better than paying 1.1% interest (or more) on a loan.
When the savings account interest rates were high, I don't think I ever had more than a few hundred dollars in the bank at one time, so I never earned much interest anyway.
So on one hand, I'm sorta bummed that there's no relatively safe place for my money to earn any respectable interest in the short-term.
But on the other hand…have you seen mortgage interest rates lately? They are fantastic. On Bankrate today, the site shows 15-year mortgages can be had for 3.84%. A 30-year is at 4.34% today. Wow.
These rates are comparable to what some savings accounts were earning just a short time ago.
It doesn't appear that the Federal Reserve is poised to raise rates any time soon. Raising rates would mean more expensive mortgages, and more interest earned in our savings accounts.
I'm hoping that we are able to move in the early spring or summer of next year and buy a house shortly after. If we luck out, mortgage interest rates will still be low.
And once we get a house, then I'll be happy if interest rates start to go up again. Gotta earn some money on that savings account!
What are your thoughts on the interest rates today? Ok or stinky?

Good luck getting one of those rates that are quoted. I don't know who gets them but none of the banks in my area are anywhere near that low.
By Cambridge Mort on Sep 23, 2010 | Reply
How much lower can rates go for mortgages? Sometimes it seems like people keep waiting for lower home prices and or lower mortgage rates. Maybe if interest rates started going up people would not want to miss the boat on low rates and start buying homes again.

Since I'm hoping we can move on a house in the next year, I still say blessing. Ask again after we lock in a rate and I'll probably say curse. :)
(To echo Pat's comment, about a week and a half ago or so one of the local WV/PA banks we visited quoted about 1% higher than you're seeing. I still thought that was good though.)
By Laura Cowan on Sep 25, 2010 | Reply
I am feeling really lucky this month because we just snagged the ideal scenario you're talking about: we just found out we're NOT underwater on our house even though we live in SE Michigan, because the house appraised for 45k more than our realtor thought it would, and we locked in a really low refinance rate we will be closing on next month. Our savings account interest rates are terrible, I know, but they will go up. Our mortgage rate will not! My friend says this is a very "grown-up thing to be excited about." Darn straight it is! :) Best of luck to all of you out there who are also in this situation and still waiting for a refinance or looking for a loan.
By CJ on Sep 27, 2010 | Reply
Stinky for me. I have savings making only .6% to 1.1% while I am stuck with a 7.5% mortgage rate. I'm too close to paying it off for refinancing to make a difference. And house sales are too slow to put my house on the market. But I am grateful that I am in good shape financially and have a secure job.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.

Illinois strip clubs are now subject to a new 'skin tax' after Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed the proposed bill into law on Tuesday morning. The new tax which charges a per person entry fee to all strip clubs in Illinois is expected to raise $1 million annually.
Money from the new skin tax will go to support the new Sexual Assault Services and Prevention Fund, a program that offers rape crisis support services.
The strip club tax was voted on in May and passed the state senate with a unanimous vote. Illinois is the second state behind Texas to pass a state-wide strip club tax.
Officially known as the Live Adult Entertainment Facility Surcharge, the bill requires every strip club visitor to pay at least $3 per entry to all adult entertainment clubs throughout the state.
With the bill now signed into law, the new surcharge will go into effect starting January 1, 2013.
The $1 million comes at a time when rape crisis centers throughout Illinois are facing declining funds. The original bill asked fro a $5 per entry fee. The new service is based on the dependent size of a club and the revenues it generates.
Texas Governor Rick Perry signed his states $5 "pole tax" into law in 2007, targeting any strip club that sells alcohol. The bill has already raised millions of dollars since being enacted, helping the state pay for rape testing kits for victims.
Do you think a $3 per person strip club tax is acceptable, or have Illinois lawmakers over stepped their authority.

Singer, actor and The Voice mentor Ricky Martin is jumping on the celebrity kids' author bandwagon with a book to be released next month.
The Puerto Rican star said he had been inspired by his experience as father to twins Matteo and Valentino. "I hope that the pages of this book can be useful for those who believe that the dreams we weave in our imagination can become reality," said the 41-year-old.
Santiago, The Dreamer in the Land Among the Stars tells of a boy who pursues his dreams and a father who believes in the unlimited potential of his son.
"My greatest wish is that Santiago will occupy a special place in the hearts of children and their parents, with everyone enjoying this uplifting story," Martin said.
Ultra-rightwing US radio commentator Rush Limbaugh is also turning his hand to children's literature with a book recounting his version of American history. Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans is not yet released but has already stormed the Amazon best-seller chart with pre-sales. It tells of a character called Rush Revere, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the author, and a talking horse who travel back to the era of America's founding fathers.
"There's no political agenda. This is just truth. This is just history," said the controversial broadcaster.
Martin and Limbaugh are just the latest in a line of celebrities who are writing books for children, with varying degrees of success.
Big names over the years have included Madonna, Tori Spelling, Gloria Estefan and former royal Sarah Ferguson.
Closer to home, the late TV personality Adriana Xenides wrote a book for youngsters, The Silver Dog and the Bear. And who could forget convicted killer Chopper Read's heart-warming tale, Hooky The Cripple, published in 2002.
Award-winning Australian author Libby Gleeson, who has published more than 30 books for children and young adults, is less than impressed by the celebrity author trend. "Selling a book because it has Madonna's name attached is an absurdity," she said. "If someone famous is going to write a children's book, they have to do it well or it's just going to sink like a stone.
"It's almost gobsmacking in a way that some people think that because it's for kids it doesn't require the rewrites or the depth of thinking. I don't want to sound precious but it takes hard work and time.
"Most people who do publish for adults know full well that it is just as hard to write for kids as it is to write for adults."

Game Sled and Archery: Tradition Meets Modern Day Technology
by Troutski
When it comes to transporting deer, elk, moose and other large game from their habitat in a timely, easy manner, the burden on the hunter is large. And when it comes to the lone hunter staring at the same problem, the burden can become unbearable. Achieving the trophy is hard enough without having to kill back, knees and other muscles while trying to take it home.
The Game Sled product line from Hunting's a Drag, Inc. is the solution. With a line that stems from the Classic Game Sled to the Safari Game Sled, no matter what the weight of the game being transported, everything is covered. Weighing only six pounds with the ability to haul 400+ pounds, the solo hunter can handle a Game Sled with ease. It's no wonder that hunters across the nation have purchased a Game Sled in order to get ready for next season.
The bow hunter definitely needs the durability and strength of a Game Sled, considering they are alone in their hunt, saving the camaraderie for evenings around the campfire. Hunting is usually far easier with a partner, but bow hunting is the choice made by the ones who truly want to avoid crowds and face the challenges that hunting with a rifle doesn't offer.
Experienced bow hunters are well aware that deer and elk seem to have an ingrained instinct for simply halting their movement just outside of bow range, or circling downwind before heading toward their caller. Two- and three-person tactics makes the process easier, but when it comes to bow hunting, going out solo is usually their favorite way to hunt.
Archery is a highly difficult skill to learn, and offers far less success than the rifle hunter who can easily shoot 600 yards or more. The bow hunter has to know how to stalk their prey, seeing as that their shots have to be done from 3 to 42 yards depending on the size of the game.
The ability of the hunter is all that can be relied upon to target the animal, factoring in everything from the bow strength to terrain to weather conditions. Most bows have a draw weight of 50 pounds-force or more, which allows the bow hunter to hunt all but the very largest game out there. And when it comes to equipment, crossbows and wooden bows are normally used to send wooden arrows with stone points sailing across the terrain.
Stalking game with patience is what the bow hunter is all about. Walking slowly, making sure their final approach is carefully planned, bow hunters will usually cover themselves in camo and stay upwind so their scent does not capture and warn the game.
Sometimes the process of 'still hunting' is used by a bow hunter, which is where they wait for game to come to them. Setting up near food, water, or trails, the bow hunter uses natural materials for cover.
There are a great deal of cultural differences when it comes to bow hunting. With different seasons and restrictions from those of firearm hunting, the ability to bow hunt differs from state to state. Whereas some areas of the world support bow hunting as a way to control animal numbers from overcrowding issues, there are other areas that still stand behind the fact that bow hunting is far more cruel than using a rifle.
Overseas, many countries use bow hunting as an accepted tool to maintain healthy habitats; yet when speaking about Germany, the United Kingdom and others, bow hunting is absolutely banned. For the U.S., bow hunting is regulated by the individual states.
Archery is an ancient, noble sport; a historical way of providing food for the family, as well as help the habitat thrive.
In 2013, the skills and techniques of bow hunting are just as difficult as they were back then. But at least the bow hunter can rely on modern day technology, like the innovative Game Sled that will never let them down!

Liverpool FC confident about finances despite debt rise
Liverpool football club has said it is getting its finances in order, despite a large rise in its debts.
Net debt increased by a third from £65.4m in July 2011 to £87.2m in May 2012.
But managing director Ian Ayre said this was due to costs associated with restructuring the squad that should help the club in the long term.
"We are trying to... invest in our team and improve our team. That has a cost, which creates debt," he said.
"I take comfort in the fact that the work we have done, some of which costs us a lot of money in this period and beyond, looks pretty painful at the time," Mr Ayre said.
"But as long as you invest in it and manage it in the right way, then hopefully it bears fruit as we go forward... in a world where we are expected to break even."
Player costs
The Premier League club made a loss on player transfers of £1.7m, compared with a £43.3m profit a year earlier when its financial situation was boosted by the £50m sale of striker Fernando Torres to Chelsea.
Mr Ayre said the Merseyside club had sold 11 players during the period and suggested that some of them were sold at a loss. Players who went during that time included Christian Poulsen and Raul Meireles.
"We've made losses as a result of selling them but at the same time we've improved our longer-term position in terms of our wage bill by reducing the wages for those particular contracts," he said.
He added that the club was investing in players such as Jose Enrique and Sebastian Coates.
The club also had to pay off former manager Kenny Dalglish who was sacked and replaced by Brendan Rodgers. His severance pay is included in £9.5m of exceptional payments mentioned in the accounts.
Commercial growth
Overall, the club made pre-tax losses of £40.5m between July 2011 and May 2012, less than the previous financial year when it lost £49.3m. But comparison with previous periods is difficult because the club's latest accounts cover a 10-month period, rather than the usual 12.
The football club is changing its accounts to report May to May, rather than July to July, in order to align them with the footballing year.
While Liverpool did not play in any big European competitions in the period, its success in domestic competitions resulted in more matches, which made up for the loss of media and matchday revenue, the club said.
During the period, it won the Carling Cup and reached the FA Cup final.
Speaking to the club's official website, Mr Ayre said: "Although we didn't play in a European competition, we had great success in both domestic competitions, which gave a boost to our revenue.
"In addition, areas like our commercial partnerships continued to grow, despite a global recession."
The club pointed out that the results were now quite old, and said matters had improved since last summer.
"Off the pitch, we forged new partnerships with Warrior, Garuda and Chevrolet - the revenue from these contracts will show in the 2013-14 financial accounts; however, these partnerships continue to demonstrate the strength and reach of the LFC brand," Mr Ayre said.
The club also said in its statement that it would not be paying a dividend to shareholders.

Find Top Schools for Master's in Social Sciences
A Master of Science program is a course of study offered by universities worldwide that is available upon completion of an undergraduate degree; some institutions offer it in combination with a bachelor's or other degree. Usually taking from two to six years to complete, a master's degree offers a deeper focus on the subject area along with practical field and research.
What Is a Master's Degree in Social Science?
Social Science is a rapidly developing field that includes a wide range of disciplines. It is a field that encompasses and is related to many other areas of study. On a graduate study level, social science is studies with the aim of achieving broad perspectives that encompass the various aspects of the field. An advanced degree social science curriculum will typically include coursework in areas such as political science, anthropology, gender and race studies, history and public affairs. Students are often required to learn and utilize knowledge based in other disciplines such as geography, philosophy and education. In addition to traditional modes of instruction, many programs also offer hands-on work in the field and a variety of internship opportunities. Students are often able to focus their studies based on their specific area of interest. Possible concentrations may include community health, social justice, international policy-making and other social science branches.
Depending on your specific interests and goals, you may be able to enhance your social science curriculum with a focus on economics, health, finance, family structures, cultural competence and sociology.
Benefits of Obtaining a Master's Degree in Social Science
Obtaining a master's degree in social science is a good way to expand and enhance your knowledge and professional expertise. Whether you intend to pursue further academic studies or to launch your career, the master's curriculum in social science will give you a solid interdisciplinary background that will serve you well in the future. The fieldwork opportunities offered by many programs provide you with practical experience and help you make important contacts with professionals in the field.
How a Master's in Social Science Benefits Your Career
A graduate degree in social science is a great investment for a number of careers. A program that concentrates on policy, international studies and organizations is an excellent basis for a political career. Many graduates also go on to work in non-governmental organizations, relief organizations, community activism and social justice initiatives. Professionals whose jobs entail making policy and interacting with communities can also benefit from obtaining a social science degree. If your interests include public service, politics, community health, gender and identity issues or international policy, a master's degree in social work will help you develop an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems in many of these arenas.
Pursuing a graduate degree is also a good way to demonstrate professional interest and commitment to your field of study. Graduates are often well-positioned to assume leadership roles in their organizations and to have a decisive voice in formulating policies and action plans. This degree can help you become a leader in your chosen field, whether that is in the corporate world, community activism, academia or politics.
Social science is also a growing area of academic study and research. Your master's degree can be the first step to continued academic study and higher degrees. It can also lead to a research position with a wide range of organization types, from corporate marketing departments to public policy research institutes, to hospitals and community aid organizations. Hospital administrators and leaders of other organizations can benefit from the skills and knowledge offered by the program.
With a master's degree in social science, you can achieve your potential and develop your strengths. Graduates go on to assume positions in administration, marketing, public relations, activism, journalism, community education, health outreach and social work focusing on individuals and families. This degree also represents a commitment to your professional development that is often recognized by employers and can result in a significant career boost.

HOUSTON – Major League Baseball has altered a ruling and given another hit to Yu Darvish's opponents in last week's game between the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox that saw him flirt with a no-hitter.
David Ortiz's popup that dropped in right field in the seventh inning in the game on Friday was originally scored an error on right fielder Alex Rios, breaking a perfect-game bid by Darvish.
But it was overturned Wednesday after a review by MLB, meaning Darvish's bid for a no-hitter ended in the seventh inning, not the ninth. Ortiz and the Red Sox thought it was a hit and appealed the decision to MLB.
In the game, Darvish held the Red Sox hitless before giving up a two-out single to Ortiz in the ninth inning. The Rangers won 8-0.
Asked about the ruling being altered, Darvish said, "We won the game so whether I gave up one hit or two hits doesn't really matter. Either is fine with me."

Mixed Potato Tart
Recipe by Neonprincess
This is a simple and attractive looking potato tart. The recipe includes instructions for making pastry, but I usually just use a sheet of pre-made shortcrust pastry.
Top Review by dogsandwoods
Resisting the (strong) urge to add cheese, I followed the recipe. I did use two layers of each, rather than one. One would have worked just fine. This recipe tasted very good. Only the onions were at all crunchy, which was nice. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring 2011 PAC.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup plain flour
- 90 g butter (3 oz)
- 350 g sweet potatoes, peeled (12 oz)
- 350 g potatoes, peeled (12 oz)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
- salt
- pepper
- seasoning
Directions See How It's Made
- If you're making the pastry, mix the flour and butter in a food process or until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water and process for 5 seconds to combine. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and gather into a smooth ball.
- Roll out the pastry on a sheet of baking paper large enough to fit the base and sides of a 23 cm (9 inch) flan tin. Ease the pastry into the tin, trim the edge and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190C (375F).
- Cover the pastry with a piece of greaseproof paper, fill with uncooked rice or baking beads and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for another 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Thinly slice the potatoes. Cook in a steamer for 15 minutes, until just tender (I use the microwave). Drain off any liquid, cover and allow to cool slightly.
- Layer the potato in the pastry shell in an overlapping pattern with the onion, gently pushing the layers in to compact them. (I just make one layer of white potato, one of sweet potato, then a layer of onion). Finish with a layer of onion.
- Combine the cream, eggs, mustard, and seasonings and pour over the tart.
- Bake at 190C (375F) for 35 minutes or until golden.

Lady Gaga Beats Bieber to Become First YouTube Billionaire
As if Lady Gaga really needed any more proof that she's the reigning queen of the Internet, now she officially is.
It was announced on Sunday that the "Alejandro" singer has become the first person ever, in the history of the universe, to receive one billion video views on YouTube. Yes, billion. According to Gaga Daily,
"At the time of writing, uploads from Lady Gaga's official music video channel, including the MTV Video Music Awards-winning videos 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi,' 'Bad Romance' and "Telephone" feat. Beyoncé, have a total of 1,000,059,920 views."
This latest distinction is just the latest digital-age honor to be bestowed upon Gaga recently. Previously she became the celebrity to have the most Twitter and Facebook subscribers, and in September she entered the 2011 Guinness Book of World Records as the most searched-for female on the Internet. (Back in March, the 24-year-old chanteuse/fashion icon hit one billion views overall on the Internet.)
Gaga's YouTube dominance comes as bad news for "Baby" belter Justin Bieber, who had been locked in a neck-and-neck race to the 1 billion mark. Alas, the 16-year-old has amassed a mere 966,223,631 on his YouTube channel at press time.
In thanks for and celebration of this milestone, Gaga reached out to the fans who made it all happen, tweeting,
"We reached 1 Billion views on youtube little monsters! If we stick together we can do anything. I dub u kings and queens of youtube! Unite!"
Gaga might be sharing the honor with her followers, but she deserves the crown. Maybe someone should run down to the butcher shop and pick one up for her.

I want to thank your newspaper for your June 17 editorial "Arizona's Hate Draws Anger Here," which was critical of Arizona's anti-immigrant law.
New York is a city built by immigrants. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, East Elmhurst, Corona, LeFrak City, Woodside and Rego Park. Recent immigrants comprise over 60 percent of my diverse and culturally rich district. As chair of the City Council Immigration Committee, I am committed to ensuring our city remains a place where all our residents can achieve the American Dream.
I proudly stood with clergy, community leaders and my Council colleagues in protest before the Manhattan headquarters of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. My arrest not only drew attention to the unjust Arizona law, but also made a statement that we here in New York City will stand up for our immigrants.
Recently, the Council passed a resolution calling for comprehensive immigration reform and condemning Arizona's draconian measure. This measure, the enforcement of which seemingly has to rely on racial profiling, is an affront to all our civil rights.
The just and humane approach is for Congress to pass and the president to sign a law that will create a path to legalization for our families, friends and neighbors. The current situation is untenable. Young adults are unable to go college. Same-sex, binational couples are torn apart. Families live in constant fear.
Let us work to together to make our country a better place for us all.
Councilman Daniel Dromm
City Council Immigration Committee

Remington Model 722 handload info
I have inherited this rifle from my Dad. It is chambered for .257 Roberts caliber and I want to start doing reloading (or handloading) using the RCBS kit I bought. For coyote hunting, I have read that an 87 grain hollow point bullet is a good choice.
I'm wondering if anyone out there who might own this model rifle can offer up handloading "recipes". I mean which bullet, primer, cases and powder (and how much)? I am a beginner when it comes to bullets, reloading, etc. as I hunt deer exclusively with a bow. Also, anything I need to look out for when it comes to handloading cartridges, especially for this caliber, is appreciated. Thanks!
I have an old 257 AI that I used to use on groundhog. I like the 87 gr. Sierra Spitzer bullets real well. The Sierra 75 HP will leave real big holes in groundhogs and would do the same for coyotes. What to load really depends on the rifle. IMR 4064 is a real good powder to try. Next would be IMR 3031. Then any other powder near these on the burn rate chart. I would also recomand you use standard primers and not mag. primers. For load data on line go to www.hodgon.com, www.ramshot.com,www.accuratepowder.com
I have a Remington model 722 in .244 Remington. It is based on the .257 case. The rifle is a very good one, though not real pretty. Mine is very accurate w/ handloads. I would suggest that you acquire several reloading manuals published by any of the powder and/or bullet manufactures. Follow their load recipes and approach maximum loads carefully. If you are after coyotes for their fur, any hollow point bullet would tear it up too much. A SP or even a FMJ may be better. If not for fur, the HP would be ideal.
Link to some info on the .257, including a link to the Hogdon load data.
About 100 different loads for the .257
Hey, thanks for the replies. Yeah, if I'm gonna shoot the yotes, I plan on skinning them too. So maybe HPs are out of the question. Besides, if a fox comes in I will also shoot him. Again, I would want the pelt.
I did go calling last Sunday morning and had a yote way out there but he wouldn't come in close. I was carrying a .22 mag so I needed him to be w/in 100 yds or so. He sat out there about 250 yds!
When it warms up I really plan to try out different loads with this rifle. I'm not a marksman by any stretch as I have shot rifles only sparingly. For me, even with a long range rifle 250 yds is probably too far at this point. I have a feeling this forum is the place to go to get help. Thanks, again.
I went to the local gunsmith shop. I walked out with IMR 4350 powder and 117gr Hornady SST bullets (25522). Being completely new to reloading, I went searching the net for a recipe using these bullets and the IMR 4350 powder. So far I am having no luck in finding this. I have a Speer reloading manual but the shop didn't have any Speer 257 Roberts bullets. Can someone tell me what powder charge I should use for starters (and max)? Thanks.
Use the data for the 115 bullet. 41 gr is the starting load and 43 is max. This is for the 115 Nosler Partition. Approach max loads with caution as you are using a different bullet. Max loads are rarely the most accurate anyway. I tend to load 1-2 gr under max for most of my rifle loads and find them to be very accurate. The 41 gr load will likelly be a fine shooter.
The old Roberts is known as a mild shooting accurate cartridge. If you want to wring extra horsepower out of it, consider having it rechambered for the .257 Ackley Improved (AI). Ackley changed the shoulder on the old cartridge and was able to get about 200 fps more velocity
Don't have any loading date but just to share with you! It is the belief that Remington stopped producing the little 788 Rifle that is so plain. Because they were much less expensive than the 700 models and believe it or not, they were out shooting the more expensive Remingtons! I had one in 22-250 and I wish I had it back. Phenomenal rifle. Just be cautious with the extractor not to damage it. It is made of spring steel! They are becoming hard to come by. In fact if I were you since it is your rifle and I am sure you are never planning on parting with it. I would contact Numrich Arms Gun Parts or other sources and see if they have an extra one available for your rifle as insurance. They are not expensive it is just finding one.
Nice Rifle!
Sniper- I assume you intended to say the "722 rifle", rather than "788"?

From Geo Hashing
Sat 15 May 2010 in 49,-122:
Look! A bona fide Saturday meetup opportunity on a day that promises good weather.
Fern Ridge in Langley. The point is in trees off the end of a stub of 210th Street. I suspect it to be city land for riparian/wildlife corridor purposes. It's close enough to the street for the stray frisbee technique.
- Probably no one.
- user:thepiguy also can't make it.
Robyn made a timetable.
- 13:30 Bike east to Expo Line
- 13:45 Leave 29th Avenue Station
- 14:15 Arrive King George Station
- 14:20 Bike via Hwy 1A and 203rd/208th towards geohash
- 15:45 Reach geohash
- 16:05 Leave geohash and reverse route.
The C63 Fern Ridge bus also gets within eight blocks of the geohash.
But in the end Robyn decided that she wanted to stay home with her lovely husband.

Some places just make you want to smile. Nova Scotia is one of those places.
Established in 1604 as the first European settlement in Canada, its first 80 years were marked by battles with the English, Scottish, Dutch and French, who all fought for possession of this beautiful island. Fishery--a hard life--was the pillar of the economy for centuries until the mid-1990s, when overfishing wrought a sharp decline in the industry. Ever resourceful, the province turned to tourism, the arts and a burgeoning film industry, hosting more than 100 productions annually, with Titanic its most famous.
Halifax, the capital of the province, is the perfect anchor city for exploring Nova Scotia; and The Prince George Hotel, located midway up the hilly downtown area, is the perfect place to stay. Main attractions in Halifax include: the Citadel, a star-shaped fortress from the early 1800s, where kilted, bagpipe-playing 78th Highlanders escort you around this naval stronghold; the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, where beloved Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis' teeny, tiny house--covered with her vivid paintings of birds, flowers and butterflies--resides; the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for fascinating seafaring history; the Old Town Clock; and the historic Properties Wharf. Ask any local for directions and you'll get a one-word reply, "Uphill." For flatter terrain, wander the waterfront, taking in local eateries Red Stag Tavern, The Five Fishermen and MacAskill's, to name a few. Gio's in The Prince George Hotel is an epicurean delight; and The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar, with its 18th century atmosphere and marvelous dining that so captivated us, we ate there two nights in a row.
Rent a car for an hour-long drive down the coast to the historic seacoast towns of Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. Chester, a sailing paradise, is one of the loveliest summer spots we've ever seen. A few B&B's are available, but since you won't want to leave once you arrive, contact Tradewinds Realty for summer rentals or, even better, purchases. Grab a bite of lunch at The Kiwi Cafe and mosey on down to Mahone Bay, where you will find more B&B's, if you choose to stay over a bit. It's an arts and festival haven with a Mussells Festival, Opera Festival, Father Christmas Festival and, our favorite, The Great Scarecrow Festival--all along Main Street. The big one is the end-of-July regatta, not to be missed. Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Town, awaits. Learn about rum-running, whales, August gales and whether fish ever sleep at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Better still, customize your own seafaring adventure and jump aboard a schooner from Heritage Harbour Tours, ending your day with a glass of wine and gourmet dinner at the charming Fleur de Sel.
Another easy side trip from Halifax is the tiny fishing community of Peggy's Cove. The rugged beauty and barren landscape of this land's edge village draws thousands of tourists each year. Crashing waves, soaring gulls and the iconic red and white lighthouse will stay in your mind's eye forever.
We've barely touched the treasures to be found in Nova Scotia--a kaleidoscope of art, multiple cultures and raw, breathtaking nature. And, yes, it will make you smile.

Visitors at the Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles today were surprised when an FBI agent walked in and handcuffed a patron eating lunch there. Turns out it was White Collar star Tim DeKay in an FBI uniform fake arresting The Shield and The Chicago Code creator Shawn Ryan assisted by the show's writers PA Chris Masi, also in FBI gear. It was part of an ongoing Twitter war between Ryan and White Collar creator Jeff Eastin. The two started trading insults via the micro-blogging service early this year, with the feud moving to another level on Super Bowl Sunday when Ryan broke into Eastin's office and took a picture of himself at Eastin's desk (photo on left). During White Collar's panel at the PaleyFest last night, Eastin alluded to a big practical joke against Ryan coming in retaliation for the break-in. As for today's arrest, "most of the restaurant thought it was real," one witness said. "It was funny." According to onlookers, Ryan was having lunch with David Madden, who probably served as bait as he is president of Fox TV Studios, the company that produced The Shield and is also producing White Collar. The writers for the USA series greeted Ryan outside the restaurant, and they also brought along TMZ cameras to commemorate the event. BTW, the Twitter revelry between Ryan and Eastin is for charity. Here is cell phone video of the incident taken by a visitor.
VIDEO: Shawn Ryan Gets 'Arrested' By FBI
20 Comments
Pretty funny. However, i thought impersonating a federal agent, is a felony. Game continues.
A little more Tim and a little TMZ and their backs would be nice. Oh, and if it is true about impersonating an FBI agent is true, Mr. Eastin best protect one of his best assets, Tim DeKay.
this is too funny! I love it!
I think the PA is going to go to jail for impersonating an FBI agent. Can't really do that in a public place, even if everyone is in on the joke. Stupid way to get a young PA arrested.
Something also to point out–the twitter war is for charity.
It's not really impersonating a federal agent when the person to whom you're presenting yourself knows it's fake. The other patrons may not have known it wasn't real, but Shawn Ryan I imagine was not fooled by the recognizable Tim DeKay.
There is an arrest coming. You cannot do that in public. Practical joke turns real. A guy has a heart attack.
You should be arrested for impersonating someone with a personality. Get a life.
Maybe these comic geniuses should focus on making their middling shows more entertaining.
Relax, people. Half of the "patrons" in the video were either with Shawn or in on the joke.
Jesus. God forbid people have fun. White Collar has FBI consultants out the ass, and the person "arrested" was also in on the joke. Just… stop ruining fun, okay?
Or maybe go read about Egypt and Libya if you want to be so damn serious all the time.
These commenters are wound entirely too tight… I once held a Top Secret Clearance and I think this ish is HILARIOUS.
felony impersonation, blah blah blah
This is about savoring the escalating and eventual retaliation.
Because unless Ryan is a wuss and just takes it there will be payback.
I don't understand. Why is Tom Colicchio being arrested by the FBI?
Heaven forbid people have fun with a harmless stunt while promoting a charity. The grumpy posters in this thread need to lighten up.
But where was Neal? Peter cant take a crap on the show without Neal by his side!
So THIS is why "White Collar" can be a very dull show. I see.
Arresting for impersonating????? In Hollywood?? On this board of all places???
It was a joke. Get a friggin' life. Hope your won scripts are better than these
comments about FBI impersonators.
Very funny. Kind of reminds me of the faux-feud between Jack Benny and Fred Allen. Good stuff!
"Nothing to see here, folks, just Shawn Ryan being arrested." – LOL!
This just made my life

Our time with Bruno draws to a close so he can make his rounds, greeting and checking in on every table he passes. A most hospitable subject, he disappears with our photographer for his close-up. Bruno leaves us with a duo of recipes, but you're gonna have to ask him about the sculpture(?) that accompanies the short ribs. For more on our CNN Hero nominee, you can check out parts one and two. If you are interested in supporting Bruno Serato's cause, ways you can donate include dining at his establishment, dropping off boxes of pasta, and purchasing his book, Feeding the Kids in America.

U.S. Men's 2002 World Cup Qualifying Picture Coming into Focus With Draw Completed in Zurich
As one of three seeds in the CONCACAF region (also known as the Football Confederation), the U.S. was originally placed in Group E in December. In today's draw, the U.S. was joined in their four-team group by Costa Rica and the eventual winners of both Caribbean Zone 1 and Interzone Round 2.
Caribbean Zone 1 will be represented by the winner of the two-leg final between Cuba and Barbados, currently scheduled for May 7 and May 21, in Cuba and Barbados, respectively. The representative from Interzone Round 2 will come from a playoff between the loser of the Antigua & Barbuda vs. St. Vincent & Grenadines series and the second-place finisher of Central America's Zone A (most likely Guatemala).
"We will be ready for whatever we have to face," said U.S. head coach Bruce Arena. "Obviously, starting with two road matches will put our backs up against the wall a little bit, and the conditions in Central America in July will be tough, but we have prepared ourselves by playing games on the road, and this is all part of World Cup qualifying. We will have three straight games at home in August, September and October and for the majority of qualifying we will have our MLS players fit and in form for matches. Also, the last four match dates are all international fixture dates, so we won't have to deal with the traditional problems of recalling our European-based players."
Qualifying play in the region will begin with two matches for each country in July, between July 12 and July 26, and will follow with one match a month through November. In August, the scheduling window for teams is Aug. 15 or 16, and in September it is Sept. 2 or 3. In October, teams will have between Oct. 7 and Oct. 11 to schedule their fifth qualifying match, and the final matches will be played on either Nov. 14 or 15.
The U.S. will open with consecutive matches on the road and will then play three straight home games before concluding the semifinal round in either Cuba or Barbados. The U.S. home games will fall within the following windows: Aug. 15 or 16; and Sept. 2 or 3; and Oct. 7-11.
The 12 teams in the CONCACAF qualifying semifinals will play six home-and-away matches against the other three teams in their group, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the final round of qualifying. In 2001, the six final-round qualifiers will be matched up in one group, where they will play 10 home-and-away matches against the other five finalists.
The USA's final preparation before World Cup qualifying will come during the first week in June at the Nike U.S. Cup 2000, when the U.S., Ireland, Mexico and South Africa battle from June 3-11 in Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston, Dallas and New York City.

I'm beginning to worry about us Australians. Look, maybe I'm using the wrong TV show as an indicator, but surely Embarrassing Bodies Down Under is more realistic than Home and Away. You sure as hell wouldn't find anyone with a body deformity in Summer Bay.
No, what I'm wondering is more about us blokes. Guys seem to worry about their penises an awful lot. Another episode, another series of complaints and queries about downstairs. Sure, we've had a couple of vagina issues (one smelly, the other painful to touch) but by and large, the guys have been talking an awful lot about dicks in the past six weeks. This episode, the seventh in the eight-part Lifestyle You series, is no exception.
Our crew of medics loved the Gold Coast so much in last week's instalment that they've decided to stay just a bit longer. And, narrator Dr Cindy promises they're keen to unearth more than just a good time.
From one extreme to the other, and for all its good time fun, Embarrassing Bodies yet again rolls out the scary statistics. While there are 1000 plastic surgery patients in just one Gold Coast hospital every year, 60 per cent of men are obese in the area. And every day, one person is hospitalised with melanoma. As a country, we have the highest rate of melanoma in the world, with 1500 people dying from it every year.
The first patient in the clinic is Zelda, who's 51 and wants to be able to walk on the beach barefoot. From the close-up shots of her shoes, we know straight away where the problem is. She tells Dr Ginni that she was diagnosed with the thyroid condition Graves' Disease about 25 years ago, where her fingers and feet swell because the condition attacks her body.
Zelda's feet have swollen to the point where her skin looks as though it's growing on top of itself; resembling a growth on her foot. This has been caused by a build-up of acid in her legs and feet, from a complication from the Graves' disease. She has two options; one is to be injected with steroids into the growths, the other is to inject an enzyme into the problem areas that would break down the acid. Both injection procedures are experimental, Dr Ginni says, but there is a good chance that the swellings would be reduced in size.
Dr Ginni's next patient is Zahn, who, like most blokes on this show, has problems down below. He's worries about what his mates refer to as his "third nut". The pea-sized thing that feels like skin has Zahn fearful. "When you squeeze it, it hurts like all hell," he confesses.
Although Zahn says there's no discharge from the penis when the "third nut" is pressed, and there are no difficulties for him in getting it up, he admits his use of condoms is patchy. Fortunately, Dr Ginni confirms that the growth is not testicular cancer, and she suspects it is a cyst in the epididymis, which helps to make seminal fluid. An ultrasound is needed, as is a test for STI to check whether Zahn has chlamydia or gonorrhea.
The next man with lower body troubles is Michaeli, whose penis becomes bent when erect, affecting his bedroom performance in certain positions. Dr Sam dons his rubber gloves yet again to get a closer look. (Sidenote: whoever is sponsoring this show for rubber gloves is really getting their money's worth. By my count, we're up to about 10 tonnes used in just seven hours of television. Note: this is not an official count.)
But back to Michaeli, 27, and his penis. His frenulum is acting like a tight piano string and dragging the head of his penis down, meaning that his only option to loosen it and ensure a straight erection is surgery. A frenuloplasty. (This is a real word. I'm learning stuff too.)
While we're downstairs, Dr Ginni rolls out her G-spot again for some probing questions. So, in case you were wondering, women's nipples vary in colour and shape because of their genes and too much alcohol can affect the arteries that allow blood to flow into the penis and deny drunkards erections. What else? Intercourse is OK with a woman who is menstruating but it is almost impossible to tell when a woman is faking it. There, all the answers to questions you thought no one would ever have to ask.
The under-utilised Dr Brad deals with mother-of-two Naomi, whose stomach is hard and has been for about five years. It makes her appear as though she's pregnant and a previous ultrasound has found nothing. After a brief examination, Dr Brad concludes that it is not a weight issue but that Naomi's muscles split during pregnancy and didn't recover. Naomi is sent to a surgeon for repair.
Orijana is Dr Ginni's next patient, who's struggling with her dermatitis, which is particularly irritating across her face and body and has even caused bleeding. A dermatologist prescribes a lotions regime, to be followed several times a day. A fortnight later, a large portion of her skin has repaired or at least started to heal, which will lead to much better skin for her in the long term.
Dr Sam runs a workshop with asparagus, pineapple and beetroot (and a couple of humans) to teach us about what can have an effect on how our urine and stool smell, and whether it has an impact on how semen tastes. You can't say it's not educational.
Speaking of semen, Dr Christian holds a masturbation workshop, and is really asked whether there's an unhealthy number of times a bloke can have a pull each day. For those playing along at home, studies suggest — and the good doc emphasises that this is not proven — that if a young man masturbates a lot, his prostate cancer risk is increased. But for men over 50, the risk of prostate cancer decreases with masturbation.
Representing the women in the downstairs complaints department is Kate, 25. She's suffering from what Dr Cindy calls a "seven year itch". Come on, Kate, with lines like that, why didn't you dress the part of Ms Monroe?
Kate's itch is dermatitis on her vagina. Her labia minora has swollen and is irritated, so Dr Ginni recommends sorbolene, because soap will continue to dry it out, and a penetration holiday for three weeks. As the doc points out, Kate's fiance will be so upset with just oral sex.
I am also upset, but because there's only one episode left in this series. Surely the doctors will go out with a bang next week.

Hershey Partners With Walgreens to Drive Traffic
Shopper marketing program will run in two markets.
DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Walgreens is teaming up with The Hershey Co. for a marketing program that looks to increase visits and incremental purchases within a key shopper segment. The drug chain will run the pilot program in two key markets this summer, according to a report by Supermarket News.
"We plan on conducting consumer interviews to determine how effective the program is at connecting with this shopper segment," Phillip Stanley, Hershey's vice president of customer marketing, told the trade magazine.
Shopper marketing programs target ways consumers behave as shoppers, leveraging data and intelligence to the benefit of the retailer, brand and purchasers.
Walgreens executives hope to gain insight into driving change in shopper behavior. "Shopper marketing is the next wave of growth marketing and makes good use of marketing dollars," said Catherine Lindner, vice president of retail marketing for Walgreens, told Supermarket News.
The pilot is one of several to be conducted by members of the Retail Commission on Shopper Marketing. Established by the In-Store Marketing Institute and consulting firm The Partnering Group, the RCSM was formed last year to establish a new industry standard for guiding the shopper marketing collaborative process, the magazine reported.
The pilot's results will be revealed in a report released later this year.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
The girls are Elsie, Emmy Lou, and Ethel. Their brothers are Elliott and Elmer. They just turned three months old on May 2 and have received vaccinations appropriate to their age. They will be spayed/neutered and microchipped on May 15 and then they'll be ready to charm some lucky folks.
They play hard and sleep hard. They like stuffies and chew toys. They have lots of puppy energy and are wiggly, squirmy armfuls of love. But oh those razor blade puppy teeth!
These five little cuties are waiting to join your family. Interested in meeting them? As is the case with any baby dogs adopted from our organization, we require a stay-at-home parent (puppies need lots of socialization and training) and a secure traditional fenced yard.
ELLIOTT - ADOPTION PENDING, a Sudbury St. Bernard/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a St. Bernard/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Sudbury, or seeking a St. Bernard/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Sudbury.

Orange County deputies told Local 6 they found a 27-year-old Florida A & M student unresponsive on a bus at 9:46 p.m. Saturday.
Deputies said 27-year-old Robert Champion was on the bus in the parking lot of the Rosen Center Hotel at 9700 International Drive.
Champion reportedly vomited in the parking lot and said he was having difficulty breathing, deputies said.
Fellow students started CPR on Champion before he taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"We are deeply saddened by this loss," said FAMU President James H. Ammons. "Our hearts and our prayers go out to Mr. Champion's family. This is a major loss for our Champion, a music major from Atlanta, served as one of six drum majors for the 375-member Marching "100" band who traveled to Orlando this weekend for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Classic. A drum major since spring 2010, Champion had performed in the Classic's half-time show earlier in the day.??
"We are in shock," said FAMU Band Director Julian White. "He was a very fine drum major who was of excellent character and very trustworthy. I had not told him yet, but he was slated to be the head drum major next year."??
White met with band members early Sunday morning to inform them of Champion's death.
The university is preparing to provide grief counseling for band members and other students through the University Counseling Center.
