Teen Summer Reading
By Keri Mills, Young Adult Librarian
The summer is an exciting time at the library. As you have seen from previous articles, kids and adults have their own separate summer reading programs. Teens, too, have their own program with fun events going on throughout June and July. Teens going into 7th grade through high school are welcome to participate. Here are some of the FAQs about Teen Summer Reading.
Why should my teen participate in summer reading?
First and foremost, it is a great way to encourage your teens to read, particularly those who are reluctant readers. Teens can read whatever they like in our program. Their books do not have to come off a required reading list, and there are no tests they will have to take. They simply pick up a book, magazine, graphic novel, audiobook, or e-book and get started! Secondly, it is a great way to expose your teens to the library and the wide variety of materials that we have available for them. Teens have their own Young Adult section with a variety of fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, and magazines to choose from, covering a range of different topics. If they come in to sign up for summer reading, they are bound to find something to hold their interest.
How does summer reading work?
It is simple to participate in Teen Summer Reading. Teens can register by coming into the library or on the library's website. Once they are registered, they simply keep track of the number of minutes they are reading. To track their minutes of reading, teens will go into the online account they have created and type in the number of minutes read. For teens who do not have computer/Internet access from home, they can simply record their minutes on a piece of paper or their provided reading log, bring this into the library, and have us record it in their online account.
What are the reading goals and incentives?
- 1 hour of reading = 1 drawing chance in weekly drawings held throughout June and July. For each additional hour of reading completed during a given week, participants earn additional drawing chances. Possible drawing prizes include gift certificates from Purple Swirl, Target, The Dusty Bookshelf, Pizza Hut, and Wal Mart. Other prizes could include water bottles, magnetic bookmarks, summer reading bags, and books.
- 7.5 hours of reading = choice between Varsity Donuts coupon or Papa Murphy's cookie dough coupon.
- 15 hours of reading = prize book, plus a coupon for chips and queso or chips and salsa from Chili's.
Can you suggest some books my teen might like to read?
The theme for this year's Teen Summer Reading program is "Beneath the Surface." There is a list of books relating to this theme on a bookmark in the YA area of the library. This list can also be found on our website under the "Teen" tab. If your teens are still struggling to find something to read, have them fill out our Personalized Reading List form. The form can picked up at the library or on our website. Once teens fill it out, they will receive a list of 10-15 recommended books.
Is there anything else for my teens to do at the library?
We have teen events going on throughout June and July. These are listed on our website under the "Teen" tab. One of the new things we are doing this summer is Maker Workshops. Teens can come in and learn how to create some new things and take them home with them. For instance, on June 19th, the Beach Museum will be teaching teens some basics of printmaking. We will also have Teen Gaming twice a month. Tomorrow's Teen Gaming will be free video game play on the Xbox (Minecraft is available) and Wii as well as a Spoons card game tournament. These are only a few of the events that are offered all summer, so be sure to check them all out. No pre-registration is required.

Acerca del libro
Earlier this year, my dad's doctor had suggested to me to try and keep my dad on a routine... it will help his memory and dementia. Each day, I take my dad for a drive and we visit areas of interest around our city of Prince Rupert, most of which are repeat visits. I have noticed a significant and positive difference in him since doing this. During our ventures, I bring along my camera and take a photo somewhere, then upload it to my facebook account that day and comment on our venture. My friends and relatives truly enjoy reading about our daily jaunts and seeing the photos of what we had come upon at the time.
This book highlights some of those daily photos and comments I have posted to my facebook account.

A FAMILY antiques business is expanding into its own premises.
Summersgills Auctioneers has moved into the Auction Centre at Roxby House Estate in Easingwold.
Auctioneer Tim Summersgill said the move was the biggest change in the business's 54-year history.
He said he expected it to give the firm a higher profile, with BBC television keen to do more filming with the company after previously including it on BBC Antiques Road Trip in 2011.
"They are always ringing up wanting to come and now we have got this location, they will probably come a lot more," he said.
The auction centre includes a sales room, in which the company will hold auctions every six weeks. It will also open a new 6,000 sq ft showroom, which will sell antiques on a permanent basis, providing the business with a new revenue stream.
Summersgills has always hired locations in North Yorkshire to run its auctions, such as country houses, village halls and office premises, Mr Summersgill said. "We have had the office in York for 50-odd years, but never had our own sale room."
He said the business, which employs four people, now expected to grow.
"There's a lot of business out there and I think we can go forward with it. We will be looking for staff in the future."
Summersgills was founded in 1959 by Tim's father, Geoffrey Summersgill, who still plays a big part in the business, while Tim, who lives in Harrogate, runs the auctions.
The company has previously sold collections which included a model horse used on the set of local TV show Emmerdale and a life-sized Canadian bear.
Its first sale in the new premises, with more than 500 lots, will take place on Saturday at 11am and the sale room will be open for viewing on Friday from 10am to 7pm.
The sale includes a three-carat solitaire diamond estimated to make £2,500 to £5,000, a collection of 1,700 postcards of ships with estimates at £500 to £1,000, and a one-off chair made by Acorn Industries for a "larger than average gentleman".

Copula based simulation procedures for pricing collateralised debt obligations
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of structure of dependency on the pricing of multi-name credit derivatives such as collateralised debt obligations (CDO). The correlation between names defaulting has an effect on the value of the basket credit derivatives. We present a copula based simulation procedure for pricing CDO under different structure of dependency and assessing the influence of different price drivers (correlation, hazard rates and recovery rates) on modelling portfolio losses. Gaussian copulas and Monte Carlo simulation are widely used to measure the default risk in basket credit derivatives. Many studies have shown that many distributions have fatter tails than those captured by the normal distribution. We use distributions with fat tails such as the t-student distribution. The paper has several practical implications that are of value for financial hedgers and engineers, financial regulators, central banks, and financial risk managers.

If you want to sell your house, you will need to get an idea of how much it is worth. This will let you know how much you can expect to gain from selling and help you decide on an asking price.
Doing some research yourself can give you a good idea of what your house might be worth. It is also likely to be much cheaper than getting a valuation from an estate agent.
Look up the price of homes in your area
There are several websites that allow you to find out the price of homes anywhere in the UK, and the information is often available free.
One site to try is Zoopla. Simply select the UK region of your choice and it will bring up the rough asking price of homes on sale in your area, plus the average price that homes have sold for near you.
The following websites can also give you an idea of how much homes go for in your area, by listing all the sold houses for the postcode of your choice:
By investigating the price of homes in your area this way, you can get a good idea of how much your own home might be worth - especially if you are a first-time seller and have no idea what kind of price you should ask for.
They have the added benefit of being free and easy to carry out - so instead of trudging from estate agent to estate agent you can assemble information quickly and conveniently from your own desk.
Get an online valuation
As well as scoping out the price of property near you, it is also possible to have a valuation of your home carried out for free online.
Although these will not be as comprehensive or reliable as a professional valuation, they can be extremely helpful for giving a general idea of how much you can expect to sell your home for.
Just type in your postcode and other details such as how much you bought your home for, when you bought it, and your email address.
A figure will then be quoted to you as a 'rough guide' to how much your home will be worth now, plus detailed information about the area and the amount homes are sold for.
Mouse Price requires you to quickly register to get a free valuation. You can also choose to be sent a detailed 22 page valuation document for a fee.
Property Price Advice allows you to enter as much detail as you can about your property to make their estimate more accurate. They can then provide an average, upper and lower valuation of your property.
Rightmove compare prices from their own database, the Land Registry and Registers of Scotland to provide selling prices and market trends.
Are free valuations accurate?
Check what obligation-free services your local estate agent offers - some will value your property for free if you let them know you are interested in moving.
Free online valuations may not give you a 100% accurate quote on your property's value, but they can at least give you an idea of what you can expect to sell your home for.
If you gather information from all these different sources, you will be able to decide on a realistic asking price.
It will also give you some background knowledge of the prices in your area, so that if you end up using an estate agent, you will already be well-informed when you discuss your home's value with them.

(Reuters) - Former world number one Nick Faldo believes the first 14-14 Ryder Cup tie in 23 years could be on the cards when holders Europe meet United States in Illinois at the end of this month.
The biennial event has not ended in stalemate since the European team captained by Tony Jacklin tied with Ray Floyd's U.S. side at The Belfry in 1989 and Faldo said the September 28-30 match at the Medinah Country Club was again too close to call.
"You've got 12 guys on both teams playing really well," the beaten 2008 Ryder Cup captain in Valhalla told Reuters in an interview. "On paper I think it's incredibly evenly matched.
"Half-jokingly I said at the beginning of the season that we haven't had a tie for quite a while but suddenly now that notion doesn't seem so far off. Maybe a tie could be the result this year."
The Americans were the Ryder Cup favourites earlier in the campaign after Bubba Watson triumphed at the U.S. Masters and Webb Simpson won the U.S. Open.
Europe, who won the 2010 edition of the team event 14 1/2-13 1/2 in Wales, then restored some pride in the majors thanks to Rory McIlroy's eight-shot victory at the U.S. PGA Championship last month.
McIlroy's win took him to the top of the world rankings and since then he has registered two back-to-back victories in the U.S. Tour's FedExCup playoff series.
"We have definitely turned it around," said the Ryder Cup's record points scorer as he took a break from watching the young competitors at his Faldo Series event at the Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland.
"Lee Westwood has found some form again recently and I like our dark horses too - people like Paul Lawrie and Nicolas Colsaerts," added Faldo.
"The Americans will set up the course for long hitters and we've got Rory, Westwood and Colsaerts as our long hitters so, as I say, everyone looks evenly matched."
McIlroy and women's world number one Yani Tseng of Taiwan are former graduates of the Faldo Series which was established in 1996 and now features more than 7,000 up-and-coming young golfers competing in 28 countries.
"It's pretty darn cool that Rory and Yani are now number one in the world," said Faldo.
The six-times major winner is proud at the way McIlroy has developed since he was a teenager and said the 23-year-old Northern Irishman had now replaced Tiger Woods as the man to beat.
"Rory is on a roll now, it's all been very impressive," said the 55-year-old Englishman, who featured in 11 Ryder Cups as a player. "Whenever he is in the field the other guys look to him as the one who is setting the pace.
"That's obviously changed considerably in recent times because it was Tiger who previously dominated for a decade or so."
Faldo, who now spends most of his time as a television commentator in the U.S., said McIlroy was good enough to stay at the top for the next 10 or 15 years.
"My advice would be that his career is his priority, he's got an awful long time to chill after it's over," said Faldo.
"He will be done as an athlete sometime in his 40s so for this window he must give 100 percent.
"Your career must rule because you don't want any regrets when it is over. You don't want to look back and think, 'I wish I could have given it a bit more or I could have done this or could have done that'.
"As a golfer you've got to do what you think is right to get yourself physically, mentally and technically prepared for the majors," added Faldo.

WITH Waddington Red having already secured the title of champions of the Dorothy Southworth indoor bowling league at Roefield Leisure Centre Clitheroe, the focus of attention in the final set of fixtures has turned to the runners-up spot.
And what a tense finish is anticipated. In an intriguing twist of fate the last week of competition has thrown up what promises to be a nail-biting tussle between Longridge Commodors and Waddington Blue, but with a simple outcome. Whoever wins claims second spot.
Hurst Green took advantage of Sabden's recent slump in form to record a maximum 6-0 points victory which was even more remarkable as in the previous meeting Sabden had registered a similar maximum win.
Champions Waddington Red had a resounding 56 shots to 21 victory over Read, with both mats scoring an identical 28 shots.
The game between Clitheroe Blue and Longridge was the proverbial game of two mats.
On mat one Clitheroe's Jeff Marshall, Jeff Cowling and Ray Black beating Kath Haworth, Tony Hargreaves and Tom Haworth by 20 shots to 10 only for the Longridge trio of Hazel Woods, Dave Thompson and Harry Pinder to outplay Muriel Wilson, Olga Black and Robert Warburton 31-5 and in doing so take the aggregate and set up a final-week runner-up decider with Waddington Blue.
The shock of the week was undoubtably the 6-0 victory of bottom of the table Clitheroe White over West Bradford.
This was the first time that the Whites had registered a maximum win and had John Hardacre, Paul Carlton and Colin Bank with a 20-17 win along with John Spencer, Norman Cowell and John Barlow (16-11) to thank for this unexpected result.
This week sees the final fixtures of the season and teams are reminded that the end of season presentation and buffet will be held at Roefield Leisure Centre at 11am on Tuesday, April 1, and all registrations of existing and new teams for 2014-15 should be handed to Neil Ashworth at the centre as soon as possible.
Results: Sabden 0pts Hurst Green 6pts 33-46 (20-22, 13-24); Clitheroe Blue 2pts Longridge Com 4pts 25-41 (20-10, 5-31); Waddington Red 6pts Read 0pts 56-21 (28-11, 28-10); Clitheroe White 6pts West Bradford 0pts 36-28 (16-11, 20-17).
Fixtures: Tonight: Longridge Commodores v Waddington Blue, Hurst Green v Waddington Red Thursday: West Bradford v Clitheroe Blue, Read v Clitheroe White.

On top of shutdown, food stamp stimulus ending
A temporary increase in food stamps expires Oct. 31, meaning for millions of Americans, the benefits that help put food on the table won't stretch as far as they have for the past four years.
Food stamps – actually the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – go to 47 million Americans a month, almost half of them children and teenagers.
Starting in 2009, the federal stimulus pumped $45.2 billion into SNAP, increasing what would have been a monthly benefit of $588 a month to $668 for an average household of four. In November, that same family will start getting $632 a month, about a 5 percent cut.
The benefits, which go to 1 in 7 Americans, fluctuate based on factors including food prices, inflation and income.
Families and providers worry the expiration of the stimulus bump comes at a particularly bad time:
– Though Census figures from September show poverty remains stuck at around 22 percent, in some states, including New Hampshire, the number of children living in poverty is climbing.
– The House voted to cut almost $4 billion a year from the roughly $80 billion-a-year program in an effort to find savings in the budget. A Senate bill would cut around $400 million a year.
– In cold weather states, even a slight decrease in the benefit can trigger a decision between heating and eating. Heating fuel prices are expected to increase this year too, the government warned this week.
And the program could face another shortfall if the government is shuttered past Nov. 1.
But the stimulus was never intended to be a permanent source of money, said former New Hampshire Sen. Judd Gregg. He opposed the stimulus, calling it at the time "a great deal of money not well spent."
John Cochrane, a professor of finance at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, also opposed the stimulus, saying it advanced the false assumption that "completely wasted federal spending helps the economy."
He said that worries about people who need help were a legitimate concern but that food stamps create a disincentive to move to find a better job because recipients are worried they'll lose the benefit.

Many of my friends say that the best barometer for judging a Thai restaurant is their Pad Thai. This makes sense of course: you use a simple ubiquitous dish to serve as your litmus test. This is my modus operandi for most restaurants; most vegan products too.
The thing is, I don't like Pad Thai very much. I've always been a red curry man myself. So, much so, that I learned to make a simple variation of the dish at home.
This version is not only super simple, but super quick to boot. And mild enough to please those who have trouble with the heat found in most curries.
Recipe after the jump!
Stuff you'll need to get yer curry on!
Mixed Vegetables with Mild Red Curry
4 Cups of Assorted Vegetables
1 Medium Sized Red Onion
1 TBS Sesame Oil (or oil of your choice)
1 Can of Coconut Milk
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes (I like Italian Style)*
1 1/2 tsp of red curry paste**
1 TBS cornstarch mixed with 2 TBS of water
1 TBS Nutritional Yeast
Salt to taste.
Tofu Sour Cream (optional)***
(A) Fry your onions until translucent. (B) Add your tomatoes and red curry paste. Fry for 2 -3 minutes on medium high heat. (C) Add your coconut milk and stir until incorporated. Add your cornstarch mixture and nutritional yeast. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add your vegetables to the curry mixture. (I like to blanch mine in (salted) boiling water for a couple minutes first). Mix thoroughly and allow to simmer on low heat for a few mintues. Add your Tofu Sour cream to cut the heat.
Serve over brown rice or noodles: Then, eat up dude!
*The tomatoes act as a way to cut the heat
** Usually found in the "international" section of the supermarket
***This will not only help cut the heat, but add to your creaminess too!

Motorola PHOTON 4G to launch July 31st from Sprint for $199.99
The Motorola PHOTON 4G will feature some high-end specs such as the 4.3 inch qHD touchscreen which will be able to withstand the typical rough and tumble smartphone use thanks to Gorilla Glass. A dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 chip running at 1GHz is under the hood while 1GB of RAM is on board. On back is an 8MP camera with dual LED flash. A VGA front-facing camera takes self-portraits and works great for video chats. The PHOTON 4G comes out of the box with 16GB of memory that can be bumped to as much as 48GB using a microSD card. Up to 8 devices can be supported on Sprint's 3G/4G pipelines using the model's Mobile HotSpot capabilities.
Sprint Premier customers will get a chance to order the Motorola PHOTRON 4G up to 3 days earlier than "regular" Sprint customers. Premier customers can order the phone starting July 28th, online only. And of course, a device like the Motorola PHOTON 4G deserves some nice accessories. Sprint will be offering a holster and shield combo for $24.99. A protective gel cover will cost $19.99 and will be available in purple only. And a two-piece grey cover slides together to protect both the top and bottom of the unit. That case will cost $21.99.
Sprint customers with an update in their pocket now have a tough choice to make-pick up the HTC EVO 3D or the Motorola PHOTON 4G. Which one would you want in your hand?

My call center just went through training on this phone. I just went through it yesterday. I'm seriously considering adding a new line to get it to use as my work phone. The exchange protocol and business features coupled with some of the exclusive apps are very tempting!

One flaw - it's a Motorola phone
11. Laurynas (unregistered)
So, the most important thing for you is a brand.
12. altex97 (unregistered)
brand=everything....by knowing the brand you know the quality and reliability of the product. Motorola has a history of sc***ing over their customers.....htc on the other hand try to work with its customers to make them happy.I also like how moto is switchin the tune of its whistle by starting to send its phones wiht unlocked boot loaders....LOL
13. Laurynas (unregistered)
I totally disagree with you, because quality depends on various things. For example it may depend on companies economic status and other factors. That's mean, quality isn't static thing!
In simple words, brand not always represent quality of the product or guarantee high performance, it is dynamic thing.

HTC is trying to make their customers happy with what....?
less storage space, ancient cpu's, smaller batteries, starting to lock bootloaders themselves, etc.
Sound like a fan boy
You probably think Samsung makes great quality phones too. lol

samsung DOES make great quality phones... just check out the Galaxy s 2 and their wp7 lines

All three of them make great phones. However, HTC does seem to be ignoring battery life while the other two make changes.
Samsung has made absolutely terrible phones with software bugs up until the Droid Charge and beyond.
They are all great companies... some just have better brands :p

I have a 3D now. love it but i cant wait to see how this one is. The Miz is right about the MOTO aspect. But ill still give them the benefit of benefit of the doubt and give it a shot. Hopefully they can show me something better than what i have seen come from them.

Wow, nice phone - look forward to it when it comes to AT&T next year.

I also have the EVO 3D, its a great phone but the "3D" effects makes your eyes hurt. Other than that all the functions that the original EVO 4G are included plus a few extra 3D games. The speed is amazing as well as the responsiveness to the touch. I can't wait to see what the Photon 4G has to offer. I'm not to thrilled about the MOTOBlur but I will deal. The phone looks like it packs a lot of power from the several hands on videos I've seen but i will just have to wait til i get it in my hands to judge. As soon as this phone drops I will be trading in my 3D to get it. I just hope is worth it.....

Obesity and Low Back Pain - Conditions

Back pain is a very common problem in heavy people. In fact, many wonder if obesity or an overweight condition is what causes their back pain. To cut to the chase, no, according to research.

A 2015 study published in the journal Medical Archives found Obesity found that neither obesity nor age exert direct influences on back pain. But, the authors say, both may complicate things by prolonging your healing time.

That said, according to some practitioners who see overweight spine patients regularly, being heavy is associated with certain back conditions.

Pressure on the Spine

Extra weight puts added pressure on the spine, which can cause pain, says Kevin Cichocki, DC, clinical chiropractor and founder of Palladian Health in Buffalo, NY. "It has long been known that a rise in body weight results in a geometric increase in the pressure on the spine."

For those who are morbidly obese, Cichocki says that potential injury to the spine is even greater. This is due to it degenerative changes in the vertebral column it can cause, he says. "The pressure may increase your risk of herniated disc, degenerative disc disease and back strain."

Obesity and Herniated Disc

"The extra pressure that weight puts on your spine can -- over time -- cause a wearing away of the outer fibers of the disc, increasing your risk of an injury." Being obese may also prevent you from managing pain that is due to herniated disc-related sciatica, he adds.

Obesity and Osteoarthritis of the Spine

According to Bliddal, et. al, in their 2014 study published in the journal Obesity Review, obesity is widely acknowledged as a risk factor for osteoarthritis, and can negatively affect treatment outcomes. The authors says that if you lose at least 10% of your body weight, and you exercise, you may be able to get back in action with less pain.

In the past, experts believed that osteoarthritis was caused by increased pressure, joint misalignment and weakened cartilage. More recently, molecular biology is helping to redefine this disease process. Musumeci, et. al, in their 2015 study published in the International Journal of Molecular Studies say that OA (osteoarthritis) is now seen as a complex disease with many factors, including metabolic ones. They describe OA as a "degenerative disease characterized by 'low-grade inflammation' in cartilage and synovium."

Obesity and Back Pain Due to Lordosis

A large belly may pull your pelvis forward, which in turn may increase the curve in your low back (lordosis). The increased lordosis will probably tighten up your back muscles and cause strain or pain.

According to Cichoki, keeping a healthy weight and strong abs (which may help pull your pelvis into neutral alignment) can help you counter the effects of an exaggerated low back curve.

Obesity, Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis

Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are related conditions. Obesity may affect them both by increasing strain in the key L4-L5 joint. Also, as described above in the section on lordosis, obesity may make things worse by pulling your pelvis forward, accentuating the low back curve (which can increase muscle tension in the area.)

In a 2015 study published in Spine Journal, increased BMI (a measure of body fat relative to your height and weight) was found to be a risk factor for re-operation in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Obesity and Diffuse Idiopathic Hyperostosis

Diffuse idiopathic hyperostosis (acronym DISH) is the hardening of one or more spinal ligaments. It is more common in elderly men than other types of people. This back condition has been linked to a high BMI and diabetes.

Obesity and Back Surgery

If you are very obese, you may have a higher risk of post-surgical complications. For overweight people, the likelihood is less.

A review of medical studies published in the journal Anesthesia and Analgesics found that super obese people (i.e., those whose BMIs are higher than 50) are at increased risk for complications related to surgery of any type. People whose BMIs are lower don't seem to have increased risks unless they are also dealing with other health conditions, according to the review.

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) may provide a safe option for overweight people who need back surgery.

A 2015 study published in World Neurosurgery found MIS to be a safe and viable option for morbidly obese patients. The researchers compared MIS and traditional open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion to see how similar or different the resulting pain levels and physical functioning from the two surgical approaches might be. They reported similar improvement in both outcomes, as well as similar post-operative complication rates.

Will Losing Weight Reduce My Back Pain?

It's only common sense to think that along with controlling your risk for heart attack, diabetes, stroke and other degenerative diseases, losing weight can help you get rid of back pain.

Dr. Andre Panagos, physiatrist and director of Spine & Sports Medicine of New York says, "in my office, every single person who loses a significant amount of weight finds that their back pain is also significantly improved". Panagos believes the reason for this is related to a decrease in the amount of work muscles need to do in order to accomplish everyday tasks once weight loss has been achieved. Let this tip from a doctor fuel your motivation as you as continue your efforts to reach and maintain a healthy weight!

On why he chooses to ask the 'Hot in Cleveland' star to be his date, Sgt. Ray Lewis explains in his YouTube video, 'She's funny, she's sweet, she's mature. She's the all around perfect woman.'
Another Hollywood star has got an invitation to the Marine Corps Ball. Taking a cue from Sgt. Scott Moore and Corporal Kelsey De Santis who have each scored a date with Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake respectively, Sgt. Ray Lewis makes his own YouTube invitation for Betty White.
Sgt. Ray's video was kicked off with a footage of the Afghanistan and Iraq veteran running and panting out of breath. He continued on with a round of sit-ups and pull-ups before revealing which celebrity he would like to invite. Donning full uniform and with a rose in hand, he asked Betty to accompany him to the ball.
Explaining the reason why he picks Betty, Sgt. Ray described the "Hot in Cleveland" star as someone who is funny, sweet, mature and "the all around perfect woman." He added, "I think I could make her laugh, she could make me laugh. I think we could laugh together. It's gonna be great."
At a recent press conference for "Friends with Benefits", Mila Kunis cleared up rumors about her backing out of her date to the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina, on November 18 with Sgt. Scott. Her co-star, Justin Timberlake, told reporters that he accepted Corporal Kelsey's invitation to the Marine Corps Ball in Washington, D.C. on November 12.

The 26-year-old actress admits she fears boxer Mike Tyson, mentioning one of the things that she is afraid of is his facial tattoo.
Oscar nominee Gabourey Sidibe has developed a crippling fear of boxer Mike Tyson after finding herself frozen to the spot as he walked by her at a recent awards ceremony. The "Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire" star, who landed her first Academy Award nomination on Tuesday, February 2, attended the Golden Globes in Hollywood in January, where Tyson was also a guest.
Sidibe didn't speak a word to the retired boxer because she was scared off by his intimidating facial tattoo. She explains, "At the Golden Globes Mike Tyson was there. I didn't realize, but I'm terrified of Mike Tyson. I saw him and I was standing with my manager and said, 'Don't move, don't move'."
"There's something about him. I'm sure he's a very nice man, but there's something about a face tattoo. It says, 'I've gone as far as I want to go in society' and it makes me want to take a few steps back. I'm sure he's nice though."
Tyson's successful career was overshadowed by a 1997 heavyweight title fight against Evander Holyfield, when he notoriously chewed off a piece of his opponent's ear. The former sportsmen buried their differences in October 2009 after Tyson apologized to Holyfield during an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show".
The boxer also softened his hard man image in 2009 when he opened up about his demons and his past in a captivating documentary.

CHARLTON Athletic have revealed that they received notice from Swindon Town cancelling a pre-season friendly yesterday lunchtime.
The Championship club say they agreed last month to face Town on Wednesday, July 30, shortly before they published details of the match on their official website.
However, Swindon never confirmed or announced the game and yesterday the Robins released their pre-season fixture list, which features a meeting with Leeds United on Tuesday, July 29 instead of the Charlton match.
A statement from Charlton this afternoon read: "Charlton are looking for replacement opponents for Wednesday, July 30th following the sudden cancellation of a planned friendly at Swindon Town.
"The two clubs had agreed on the pre-season encounter shortly before it was officially confirmed on www.cafc.co.uk on Monday, June 23rd.
"However, around lunchtime on Monday, July 7th the club received a notice from Swindon that they would no longer be able to fulfil the fixture.
"Later that afternoon the Robins announced a replacement friendly at home to Leeds United on Tuesday, July 29th.
"Charlton would like to apologise to any supporters who had already made plans to travel to the County Ground for the game and have been inconvenienced by the late cancellation.
"The club will announce at the earliest opportunity on www.cafc.co.uk if and when a replacement opponent is found."

I admire artist gerG Maclaurin's work. His Ghost Phones exhibition at Maker Faire 2008 was one of my favorite attractions that year. This year, gerG is building a walk-through diorama experience in his backyard. Admission is going to be free. The project was fully funded on Kickstarter, but he is still accepting donations.
You'll walk thru my back yard which has been transformed into an abandoned field, then peer thru branches and weeds at the little buildings of the pumpkin people. Inside the buildings 2' tall pumpkins will be sitting and working, others will be waiting in the pumpkin health clinic, nursing their unfortunate wounds. One will be sitting at her boudoir, staring at a shattered mirror. There's dozens more scenes, and each is unique... the surgery suite... the knife sharpening shop…Fall of the Pumpkin People: a new type of walk-thru diorama

Spendthrift expands Breed Secure program to 10 Kentucky stallions
B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm in Lexington has expanded its "Breed Secure" program to include nearly its entire roster of Kentucky-based stallions, effective immediately.
The Breed Secure program was launched two years ago to relieve commercial breeders of the risk of paying stud fees on some of Spendthrift's young stallions. The program guarantees a profit to breeders who sell the resulting in-foal mare, weanling or yearling at public auction before a stud fee is owed.
Hughes says the initiative will continue at Spendthrift, and believes this type of arrangement is an alternative to traditional foal sharing ventures between stallion and mare owners.
"The bottom line is that breeders deserve a better deal," Hughes said. "Our Share The Upside program has been a successful way to give breeders a real opportunity to benefit from the upside in the career of the stallion they wish to support, and makes it more of a fair partnership between the breeder and stallion owner who do business together on an unproven stallion. It's been a very popular program, and we're already seeing a successful scenario play out with Into Mischief, our first-ever stallion in the program.
"Breed Secure is a program we also started last year with Into Mischief, and after seeing the positive effects we have decided to offer it almost across the board on our stallions," Hughes said. "I believe it's a far superior alternative to foal sharing, and maybe it will eventually replace foal sharing in the industry. Breed Secure allows commercial breeders to breed a mare to a stallion of their choice without having any risk as it relates to the stud fee. When that breeder goes to sale, if he or she doesn't make a reasonable profit, then not a dime of the stud fee will be owed to Spendthrift. Hopefully there is a tremendous profit made at sale, and when that happens, he or she would only be responsible for paying back the stud fee and not a dime more."
Spendthrift stallions Archarcharch, Dominus, Line of David, Notional, Paddy O'Prado, Temple City, Tiz Wonderful, Tizway, Warrior's Reward and Wilburn are all now offered under the Breed Secure program. After selecting the stallion of choice and getting a mare in foal, the breeder has the freedom to choose the sale and age of which to sell. The options include selling the mare in foal at public auction, selling the resulting weanling at public auction, or selling the resulting yearling at public auction. Upon sale, the breeder gets the first proceeds up to $10,000 for an in-foal mare, up to $6,000 for a weanling, or up to $12,000 for a yearling. Any dollars after those amounts go towards paying back the stud fee, and once the stud fee is paid back, the breeder retains the balance. Any shortcomings are forgiven if the sale does not meet the minimum for Spendthrift to receive any proceeds. Spendthrift is only entitled to receiving a maximum of the full amount of the stud fee and nothing more.
Spendthrift stallion Malibu Moon, sire of Fountain of Youth winner Orb, is not eligible for the Breed Secure program.

Life of Pi is a 3D-enhanced movie that avoids 3D trappings.
Its use is like Avatar's: completely immersive.
It's also a successful adaptation of a popular novel—no easy feat—that's set mostly on a life raft. Not even Alfred Hitchcock made a life raft interesting.
The fantastic setting helps director Ang Lee, and his choice of bold and rich visuals pays off. Richard Parker, the tiger with whom Pi (first-timer Suraj Sharma) spends most of the story, always looks real whether he's played by a living tiger or a computer.
Pi and Richard Parker end up on the raft when the freighter ship carrying them from India to Canada sinks in a storm.
How Pi survives without being killed by the tiger or dying of starvation is a fascinating allegory about faith and primal instincts.
Life of Pi is filled with humor and wonderment, but also has its share of heart-stopping drama. Despite its PG rating, it isn't really for kids. Richard Parker is fierce, and Pi's loss of his entire family is hard to take, but it's excellent end-of-year fare, and signals a return to form for Lee after the underwhelming Taking Woodstock.

Kepler Mission Manager Update, May 1, 2009
Kepler's calibration data collection is drawing to a close. Several hundred data sets have been acquired to characterize and map the optical and noise performance of the telescope and the electronics for the focal plane array (the area where light is focused). The data sets are now being analyzed on the ground. Optimally shaped "windows" of pixels will be defined for each of the more than 100,000 target stars and a table of these pixels uploaded to the spacecraft. These are the pixels that will ultimately help the science team find planets — the pixels will be downlinked to Earth and used to construct light curves, or measurements of brightness over time, for each star. After science observations begin, the data analysis "pipeline" at the Science Operations Center at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif.

Aras DéJan ft. Emily Deahl — "LAYBACK" @ONLY1ARYS @mledeahl
As promised, Arys and Pop singer Emily Deahl are here to "LAYBACK" with us.
With some smooth vocals by Emily (https://twitter.com/mledeahl) and some swift flows delivered by Arys...this track will help the listeners get familiar with the new sounds by hit producer, Roca Beats (https://twitter.com/ChrisrocaY).
Since 2012, Chicago has become a mecca for some of the most influential artists in the industry. Artists such as Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, and Noname have all positioned themselves as leaders by putting their own take on signature Chicago sounds.
Recently, I caught up with Evie in between her set where she gave me the scoop on how she got into Djing and where she wants to see her newest project, Babes Only, grow to. Like anyone wanting to dive into a creative lane, she started a blog and eventually, began learning how to DJ firsthand from Smoko Ono, another prominent Chicago producer.
Model Lana J. - @official_lanaj kills the scene w/ @levelupmagazine ISS. #12. Directed by @mrtracks.
Baltimore's own DON C & Manny Be comes through with a heavy trap hitter entitled Trappin'. Trappin' is believed to be off DON C's upcoming mixtape Project Home Invasion. The song is produced by Cash Money Ap
Produced By @yungcrypgothitz
Directed + Edited by Aaron Perkins Jr @apjfilms
Last night was a surprisingly good night for music releases. Supa Bwe dropped his Fool Wit It freestyle that featured Chicago's very own Chance the Rapper.
Even though its been a while since we've heard from the 21 year old Chicago artist, Toni Romiti bounces back strong with her newest video, "Somebody". "I wanna be somebody that you call on, I wanna be somebody that you fall on" the R&B singer croons on her latest single.
Knxwledge takes you on a smooth ride with his newest beat tape, GREENTXTS.V1 .
Take a moment to get to know up-and-coming Chicago producer Monte Booker

FLORIDA is by far, the "GREATEST TREASURE HUNTING SPOT IN THE WORLD!"As soon as the Spanish treasure ships left Vera Cruz with their fantastic cargos of gold, silver and precious gems, a pirate ship was soon in pursuit. The pirates were everywhere, as one Spanish officer put it," They are like fleas on a Burro, too many for one tail to smack". Between 1519 and 1780, the period was called the "Golden age of Piracy". Yes there were many, ruthless men such as Captain Kidd, Jean LaFitte, Jack Rackham, Edward Teach,( A.K.A. Blackbeard). Billy Bowlegs, Black Caesar and at least a dozen more, all skilled at their trade. The most dangerous of the scoundrels were the ones call "Buccaneers". These men were headquartered on the island of Hispaniola. To quickly dispatch their victims, they used a knife designed by the natives, it was called a "Boucan knife". Thus the people who use them were called "Boucaneers" or as we now call them, "Buccaneers". How did all these pirates come together in the Caribbean to prey upon Spanish ships? Some of the credit goes to Queen Elizabeth who actually made pirating legal by commissioning some of her finest sea captains to become "Privateers". Privateers were given royal papers that allowed them to plunder Spanish ships. Men like Sir John Hawkins, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Henry Morgan all opened the door for dozens of cutthroats to enter the lucrative business of looting Spanish ships. And loot they did. It is estimated that the top dozen, well known pirates, may have buried, in Florida, approximately $200 million in gold and silver. Many Spanish ships did manage to avoid the Pirates but only to meet their fate on the treacherous reefs from Key West to Key Largo. Some loot was salvaged from the briny deep, but most still lies there, waiting to be found. The rewards for the lucky salvors are great as evident by the success of Mel Fisher who found the Spanish ship,"Nuestra Senora de Atocha". The Atocha reportedly carried 47 tons of silver and 17 tons of gold. Mr. Fischer quickly became known as the $40 million dollar man. Believe me when I say there is not a single county in Florida that does not have a history of buried treasure. On the East Coast of Florida lies the mystical island called "Amelia Island". Amelia Island is the only place in the United States that was governed under eight different flags. Each time a flag was raised and lowered, there was a small skirmish. In advance of marauding hoards, people would bury their valuables and for many reasons were never able to retrieve them. The loot is still there waiting to be found. Amelia also was headquarters for all the well-known Pirates of the Caribbean. Bad men like Blackbeard, Jean Lafitte, Captain Kid and Stede Bonnet are all well known pirates that buried treasure on Amelia Island. The biggest treasure hoard might've been left by Louis Michael Aury and his band of pirates. When the United States took possession of Amelia, Aury was told he had to leave, and leave in a hurry. He and his men had no time to dig up their loot, so they left it. It is no wonder why Amelia Island is called the "Golden Isle".
Did you know there were actually two pirates named Billy Bowlegs? Yes, and both scoundrels were operating in and around Florida at the same time! This is what many believe to be the reason that History records Billy as the most active pirate. And in another coincidence , there were, also, two pirates named Black Caesar! In this case, one followed the other in the annuls of "Pirate History".
He was the meanest, cruelest man ever to set foot on Florida soil. Everyone called him the "Emperor", and he ruled his domain by murder and mayhem. In a strange accumulation of events in his life, he had links to many famous outlaws of the old west, including the likes of Belle Starr and Frank and Jesse James. And much like those outlaws, he met his end in a violent shoot-out. Interested? There is so much more to his story.
Would you like to read more on these scallawags and other exciting treasure stories of Florida? "Treasure Tales of Olde Florida" is a fascinating paperback, 43 pages, over 10,000 words containing eight riveting stories of pirates, Indians, gangsters and other bad men who left their mark and loot in Florida. The stories also contain tantalizing clues to where treasure may be buried.

Chinese social relations are social relations typified by a reciprocal social network. Often social obligations within the network are characterized in familial terms. The individual link within the social network is known by guanxi (关系) and the feeling within the link is known by the term ganqing (感情). Social relations are often expressed by the exchange of gifts. An important concept within Chinese social relations is the concept of face and many other Oriental cultures. A Buddhist-related concept is yuanfen (缘分).
Unlike other societies, the Chinese tend to see social relations in terms of networks rather than boxes. Hence, people are perceived as being "near" or "far" rather than "in" or "out".

Advertising Leads To Increase In Calls To Domestic Violence Hotline
The phone lines at CHOICES have been ringing off the hook since the organization printed an advertisement in the Columbus Dispatch.
"Calls increased by 100 once that ad ran," said Sandy Allen, CHOICES Deputy Executive Director.
It means more domestic violence victims are seeking help.
The ad was not front-and-center in the paper, but it was big enough to let victims know they no longer have to hide.
"Doing that ad, we've never done that before. We just relied on word of mouth or education opportunities were given - so we're kind of being more aggressive in reaching out," explained Allen.
Calls have increased from 188 in January to 285 in March. Visits to the CHOICES website also increased.
CHOICES is even reaching out through social media with their own Facebook page.
It's another progressive move for an agency that's served in the shadows for more than 30 years.
The phone hotline is operated 24 hours a day, but the new demand is creating challenges.
Officials said there are longer waiting lists and appointments sometimes take longer to set up.
"We're really trying to let folks know to be patient and we're trying to raise more money," said Allen.
CHOICES says that more money means there can be more awareness as the agency tries to get domestic violence into the everyday mindset.
CHOICES is the only agency in central Ohio to operate an actual shelter for domestic violence victims and families.

Pregnancy certainly isn't slowing Kelly Rowland down! The former Destiny's Child bandmate, 33, is working hard to stay fit and healthy while her baby bump continues to grow.
On Friday, June 27, Rowland posted several workout shots onto Instagram, showing off her impressive body in a sports bra and printed leggings. Her exercise pictures were caption-free, letting the hard work speak for itself.
Beyonce's bestie is focused on staying in shape during her first pregnancy. The Grammy winner recently dished to Us Weekly about her workout routine, noting, "I'm in love with boxing and yoga right now. It just feels good, it's really empowering. I just feel like I'm getting my little strength back and getting my little jabs in."
Rowland's pregnancy certainly hasn't slowed down her creative output either. She recently appeared alongside Bey in the "Say Yes" music video for her Destiny's Child pal Michelle Williams, and married manager Tim Weatherspoon in Costa Rica on May 9.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I've worked in a Neurosurgery ICU and frequently cared for patients who were in "induced coma." Basically, it is just a sedative.....actually think of it more as an anesthesia-type drug. I would be willing to guess that the drug they are using is called Diprovan (propofol) which is white and comes in little glass bottles that hang as an IV. The IV is titrated to keep her at the desired sedation level.
These medications are a short acting drug. The reasons for this is so that the patient can be "woken up" quickly so that her neuro status can be assessed. Depending on the physician, usually every morning on rounds, and sometimes once per shift a patient is "woken up" by temporarily turning off the medication. When the patient becomes aroused, she will be asked questions to see if she can respond, her reflexes will also be checked at this time. After that is evaluated, the medication is turned back on and again, the patient will quickly go back into the "drug-induced coma."
The time varies how long each person will need to stay in the "coma" depending the the severity of the head injury. Her intracranial pressure (ICP) will most likely be monitored. The ICP does exactly what it indicates.....it measures the pressure in the brain through a catheter in her head. It is connected to a transducer which gives a number value. (Normal is between 4 - 15 mm/Hg OR between 50 - 200 mm/ H20 depending on whether is a mercury or water set-up.) Sometimes, if the pressure becomes too high, the ICP can be drained to relieve the pressure.
Her ICP is going to be an important number to watch for to evaluate if she is ready to be "woken up" from the "coma." Something that may give you some peace of mind.....these types of drugs cause the patient to have NO recollection while "under." Even during the brief periods where the patient is temporarily woken up to evaluate their neuro status, patients rarely remember those brief events. So it's good that she won't have to remember this traumatic ordeal. This will keep her relaxed and help bring that ICP pressure down.
You asked "how long" a person can stay in this type of state. The answer to that is.....as short as possible. It's not so much the "drug-induced coma" that hurts her....it's the fact that the longer she has the brain swelling, the more chance there is for some type of damage to the brain cells. So the quicker that pressure can go down....the better.

DIY marbled Keds and tote bag, Gestuz dress, Eugenia Kim biker cap, Cara Croninger resin bracelets, Triskaidekaphobia necklace and ring.
A few weeks ago, my friends over at Keds sent me a couple pairs of sneakers. I already had white ones, so when I got a second pair, I decided it was a perfect opportunity to do a DIY. At first I was only planning on dying them at home with some Rit, but once I got to the art supply store I was overwhelmed by the possibilities. After a good amount of deliberation, I ended up picking up the Jacquard Marbling Kit for Fabric and Paper, choosing it because it seemed to have the simplest and most straight-forward directions. Plus, Dick Blick, the art supply store I bought it from, has an extremely helpful instructional video that walks you through the entire process. I didn't want the shoes to be too bright, since I want to be able to wear them everyday and with anything, so I just dyed them very lightly for a watercolor effect. While I was marbling , I also decided to dye a giant white canvas bag that served as a goody bag from the DIY or DIE event we did at Urban Outfitters last year. I decided to go for more intense colors, and you can properly see the marbling effects.
Rather than posting a full set of instructions, I posted the Dick Blick video below. It's a bit time consuming with all the preparations, not to mention a pretty messy affair, but the actual marbling is very easy. It's a really fun way to customize all of the free totes and tees you have lying around, and I definitely suggest you give it a try since the whole kit and all of the extra supplies costs less than $20 total. Next up I'm going to do some notecards, and maybe even try that Marbled Nails DIY that's also floating around youtube...

oh wow! I used to love marbling paper as a kid but I've never tried in on fabrics... although I was recently actually thinking about this xx

Your pieces came out really well! This makes me want to give marbling a try, too.
On another note, where did you get your cap from? I have a basic one, but I love the splash of colors on that Eugenia one.

Awesome idea. The patterns on the bag are practically hypnotic.

Marbling is probably one of the trickiest crafts to master, but also one the most fun.
I have a quicky bit of info on my blog, if your're interested in pursuing it.
I warn you though, it's addictive.

All this evening, 100 different sites from all over the world have released one small piece of the jigsaw puzzle that was used to create the brand new poster for The Hunger Games. Users had to send each website and the image to the Facebook page and it would reveal the poster in full. Now, Lionsgate who are releasing the movie have put the full version on the Facebook page showing us Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) as she enters The Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games is released in the UK 23rd March 2012. Enjoy!
The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Wes Bentley, Toby Jones, Amandla Stenberg, Alexander Ludwig, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jacqueline Emerson, Paula Malcomson, Dayo Okeniyi, Jack Quaid, Leven Rambin, Willow Shields, Lenny Kravitz and is directed by Gary Ross.
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins ' best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.

Anyone make progress with this for iPhone? Just got my first Kindle (PW) and was interested to see if I can figure out how to sideload on both and have sync work. I seem to be good with the Kindle but the same file does not want to sync from my iPhone. I went the Calibre Quality Plugin route for fixing the AISN using the Kindle Fire fix and then copied the mobi into the ebook drectory on the iphone using iexplorer. The cool thing is that the book cover shows properly now and I can read the book. The sync button is still grayed out though and it doess not sync when I start the app.
