Netflix is going to prison for it's newest original series, "Orange is the New Black," premiering July 11.
The dramedy starring Taylor Schilling and Jason Biggs is based on Piper Kerman's memoir of the same name. Kerman, who is portrayed as "Piper Chapman" in the Netflix version, spent a year in the infamous Danbury, Connecticut federal penitentiary, 10 years after being caught delivering a suitcase of drug money for an ex-girlfriend.
Also read: Laura Prepon Joins Netflix Series 'Orange Is the New Black'
A completely different person (no longer a lesbian apparently) with a straight-laced life, Chapman has to leave boyfriend Biggs for the terrifying prospect of life behind bars. Then, hilarity and life lessons ensue.
Amazon describes the book, based-on-a-true-story, as "heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging," and says it "offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison—why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they're there."

Saturday afternoon's 73-63 win over Mississippi State was a roller coaster of emotions. From the get go, the Friars dominated the Bulldogs and it looked like they would coast to an easy victory in the Big East / SEC Challenge. We did this for you, BIG EAST! Then, Bryce Cotton was fouled on a three pointer late in the 1st half (seriously, do you know any player who gets fouled more on threes than Cotton??), and came down awkwardly hurting his knee. Ice didn't return for the 2nd half, and is going to get an MRI to see what's up according to Ed Cooley in the postgame. Without Cotton, the "Sexy Six" held down the fort and the laugher continued on strong with Providence leading by as much as 26 points. However, Mississippi State woke up late in the game, and came ridiculously close to a monster comeback that would have just kicked Friartown while they were down. In the end, PC held on to beat a very terrible Mississippi State team, but may have to deal with a serious injury to their best player to date.
Why Providence won: In the pregame, I mentioned that Kadeem Batts needed to produce and be more aggressive in order to take some of the pressure off of Cotton. Batts must be an avid reader of Friarblog (READER COUNT UP TO 4!), because he was fantastic from the get go. Long range jumpers, aggresive drives to the hoop, baby hooks — you name it, Batts was scoring. Mississippi State didn't have an answer for him, and they dug themselves into a big hole. The PC defense showed a lot of hustle, and forced their opponent to rely on long range shots they couldn't hit. When the Bulldogs came roaring back in crunch-time, the Friars held it together and executed under pressure while shorthanded once again.

Differences in stripped lowers
I'm in the process of gathering info to build my own AR. It seems there are lots of decent kits. I am leaning towards some of the places with better customer service versus the best prices. One place I shop has a few different stripped lowers, CMMG, Double Star, and Superior Arms. There is a price difference that makes me wonder why one piece is better or worse the the other. I see others advertised on the lower end of the dollar scale but common sense says to question things. End goal is a bare bones, average accuracy, reliable, A2 'issue style' AR. Is there something I am missing with the specs on the lowers?
You're on the right track - some kit parts are actually sim parts, so they aren't as good as others.
CMMG and DPMS both sell good quality parts to build on.
In the next week or so I will be doing a How-To Guide for the forum on building from stripped upper and lower receivers, with some pictures, and perhaps some parts recommendations.
I think you are asking something most of us do, more money= better quality, and it's logical. If a receiver is "mil spec", than it's held to certain tolerances. Just remember that there are allowable variances within the tolerance range. I have one each of the following: DPMS, Stag, Cavalry Arms and Essential Arms. The Stag, Cav Arms and DPMS were roughly the same price. I bought the Essential about 4 years ago for $65 new. I don't even know if they're still in business. They used to sell factory direct but stopped shortly after I bought mine. They all accept mil spec parts perfectly and all function perfectly. The Stag and DPMS are very well finished. The Essential shows marks as I think they are (were) cast. I haven't notived any better FUNCTIONAL quality by paying more, but I am sure others can offer bad experiences in buying cheap.
Good look.
Those lowers listed are unlikely to be different at all in terms of function.

Could `vague nodular opacities` be TB?
I am a 32-year-old female. For the last month, I have had a bad upper/lower respiratory tract infection. My doctor could hear "rattles, wheezing, etc." in my lungs, and I have been having a hard time breathing. My doctor put my on Levaquin and gave me a Rocephin shot and inhalers. I did better for a few days, then I relapsed. They sent me for a chest x-ray at this point, which came back as being "fairy normaly." Still, I continued to have problems, was put on Omnicef, and finally went back on Thursday. My lungs sounded so bad, my doctor sent me for a stat CT scan. I also got another shot of Rocephin. The nurse called me shortly after and said it was fine. Then, the next day (yesterday), my doctor called me, sounding fairly upset, and said the radiologist had called her back with the following conclusions:
"There are very vague nodular opacities within the superior segment of the right lower lobe. There is also a questionable vague left lower lob opacity. No focal consolodation is indentified. The trachea and mainstem bronchi appear clear. There are a few small (less than 5mm) calcified left hiliar lymph nodes. The visualized portions of the liver and spleen appear normal (the liver is mildy distorted by respiratory artifact)" Impressions: 1. Findings comatible with prior exposure to granulomatous disease. 2. There are vague opacities within the superior segment of the right lower lobe and possibly within the left lower lobe as well. These are non-specific. These subtle opacities could be re-evaluated with a follow-up unenhanced CT examination in three months time if clinically appropriate in order to document resolution and exclude possibility of progressing pathology."
When I was 2, I tested positive for TB and did INH therapy for a year (my grandfather was a Baton Death March survivor and had TB...all of the 12 grandkids ended up testing positive). I had years of chest x-rays that were negative (and my recent one was "normal" too. This was my first CAT scan. So, could these be scars from my old TB scare? My mom says I never had active TB, but obviously I guess I did if there are scars? Could this be indicative of a new bout of TB? Or maybe I just have a resistant pneumonia (explaining why it gets better for a few days after the rocephin shot?), and the other stuff has been there my whole life? I asked my doctor to take a sputum sample on Thursday to tests for pathogens, and we are waiting on the results. So, I`m not having any additional treatment done this weekend. I have 3 little girls, so I am really freaked out about them getting near me. I am getting a referral to a lung specialist next week. Should I get a TB skin test? My mom always told me not to have another one done because it would be dangerous for me, but that doesn`t seem to make sense. Should I get my daughters and hubby tested? What are your overall impressions? I actually don`t feel too bad, just coughing a little, and I had my last Rocephin shot 2 days ago. Should I get a lung biopsy or something? Thank you SO much for your help!!!
If you had a positive TB skin test when you were 2 years old, there is no need to repeat a TB skin test now, because you already know that you had a TB infection, and placing a new one wouldn't provide any information you don't already know, other than that you have been infected with TB. It sounds as if you took a year of INH preventative treatment when you were 2, which was intended to decrease the chances that you would have reactivation TB in the future, but this treatment is not 100% effective.
It sounds like you have been asked to cough up some sputum samples for acid-fast bacteria (AFB), and for other cultures and laboratory tests that will help determine whether you have reactivation pulmonary TB or some other infectious cause of cough that hasn't improved with therapy. Your doctors should be able to tell you the results of the sputum smears for AFB within a day or two of when they are collected, but even if the smears are negative, you could still have reactivation pulmonary TB, so they may want to send a sputum sample for a TB nucleic acid amplification test, also. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a slow-growing bacteria, so the laboratory holds the sputum AFB cultures for 6 to 8 weeks.
It wouldn't hurt your daughters or husband to go ahead and get TB skin tests applied and read now. Even if their TB skin tests come back negative, if it turns out that you do have pulmonary TB, your pediatrician may want to give preventative therapy to your daughters, especially if any are less than 5 years of age or immunocompromised, until results of repeat TB skin testing about 10 - 12 weeks after you start therapy. It sounds as if you and your doctors are going to work together to find out what is making you sick and get you on the right treatment help you feel better.
Best of luck to you and your family.

Many are considering antioxidants these days, and definately will maybe even purchase their daily supply in a pill form. While this it really is nice so that you can accomplish that, it's a widely held thought that the easiest method to consume a nutrient is in the food itself. In today's world however, it is possible to miss certain factors that are really good to us, especially during certain times of the year. As far as craving food items are involved, with regards to fruits and veggies and vegetables, I do believe our bodies were made to crave whatever they absolutely need. So, when you crave cherries, or strawberries, or blueberries while i do, which is the body saying: I want those antioxidants! Today I would like to discuss the benefits of a very powerful antioxidant you might be craving that people call bioflavinoids, or bioflavonoids, to get bioflavinoids , as well as the therapeutic uses of this powerful antioxidant.
Not merely are bioflavinoids an antioxidant, in addition they benefit your blood, and your chromium dietary supplement side effects red blood cells, skin, gums, ligaments, and bones, teeth, and also the strength of the capillary walls. Now, once we think about capillaries, many of us conclude that it helps with varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and maybe hypertension; while bioflavinoids aids in many of these ailments, the strengthening of the capillaries likewise helps to avoid lack of sight. The healthiness of the capillaries behind your eyes bring about either good vision, or poor vision. Bioflavinoids feed these capillaries directly.
The advantage that bioflavinoids sports the blood isn't being taken lightly, either. There are what are known as medicines invented to battle high blood pressure, which can be prevalent inside our country. By washing the blood, bioflavinoids go far in aiding to reduce high blood pressure levels. Common sense says when your blood is clean, you cannot withdraw. When you can remain on a pure diet (raw foods) for Ninety days, all your blood cells will be replaced, based on Dr. Paul Bragg. Cellular structure are replaced anyway, nevertheless the health of the cells will be the factor. Our bodies are made to heal quickly, given the right diet. I think it's interesting how the blood cells are the initial to become replaced.
It's already been said, "you are as old since your arteries". With the effect that bioflavinoids have on our arteries, a rise in bioflavinoids doesn't just go far in preserving our inner well-being, but the outer skin can also be benefited by these bioflavinoids, because the antioxidant facet of bioflavinoids really helps to prevent wrinkling and sagging.
Bioflavinoids are simply abundantly in nature: in the pulp and skin of numerous fruits, including apricots, berries, broccoli, buckwheat, cherries, grapefruit, grapes, lemons, oranges, papaya, pepper, plums, prunes, rose hips, stinging nettle tea, tomatoes. Exactly what a delicious method to gain antioxidants and bioflavinoids! I am reminded of the items Hippocrates said: "let food be your medicine, and your medicine be food". I could not agree more. I never ceased to become amazed at the drug companies' ads on certain drugs, that have a summary of negative effects such a long time that I'm going to be certain to never ask my doctor with that remedy! While everyone must make their decisions, I would rather increase my use of bioflavinoids from raw foods, just because they're a delicious way to a healthy body. One more note here: there aren't any animal reasons for this vital nutrient.
Even though bioflavinoids haven't any side effects, thankfully, such as the doctor drugs do, I noticed you this, um, interesting story. During my fourth pregnancy I consumed lots of lemon water. I like most a lemon with a little honey. I drank 2 or 3 portions of this each day, maybe more. I recently loved it. Well, once i went to give birth (I actually stayed home), I gained a centimeter every hour until it was time to push. One small problem: the bag of waters hadn't broken. My midwife stated it was very thick. Although we could've waited, we chose to break it open, since we weren't feeling very patient at the time….and out came Jordan 10 mins later. My third child also was almost born in her own bag! So, beware all you expecting mothers who maintain a healthy diet, that your bag might be nice 'n thick. But, it may be worse to get a thin bag that breaks too soon!! Anyway, you receive a few stories to inform if you have nine kids, right?
So far as the therapeutic applications, bioflavinoids happen to be utilized to help with allergies, asthma, bleeding gums, broken capillaries, bursitis, colds, depression, dizziness (caused by inner ear), eczema, flu, hemorrhoids, high blood pressure, miscarriages, rheumatic fever, and varicose veins.
To summarize, I really believe bioflavinoids are an important part of human nutrition. I have read otherwise, but I disagree with those statements, because there is a lot of research done that shows the huge benefits we are able to profit from V3 Diet pill this powerful antioxidant. So, don't just eat your veggies, eat your fruit, and revel in health.

The other day when I had a friend over, we were inspired by my buttons, and decided to create some earrings!
Here's a quick and easy tutorial to you can make some for yourself! :)
1~ Start of by selecting the buttons you want to use. You'll need 2 of every button, since you're making a pair of earrings.
2~ Turn your glue gun on, and wait for it to heat up. Once it's warm, squirt a little hot glue onto your earrings stud post. Quickly place your button onto the stud post. (If you wait to long, the glue will dry and set.)
3~ Wait for the glue to dry, and then it's time to enjoy your new button earrings!
Extra Idea:
You don't have to use just buttons. I've used beads, lego pieces, and really anything that fits onto a stud!

I find using jacketed bullets easier to load than lead or plated. It is hard to over crimp jacketed bullets to the point of making it inaccurate. You don't need to lube the bullet so there is less smoke. It is, in my opinion, the easiest bullet to load in pistol calibers. It won't be the cheapest. When you are getting started focus on getting things right. Later you can change your focus to reducing costs. It also give you a perspective about if the different things you do to lower costs is worth it or not. It might be worth it or not. Hard to tell without something to compare things to. I still have to work on a .38 special load to get what I am looking for. The others I load for I have found at least 2 loads I'm happy with.
You are getting into a very interesting hobby. It seems you are on the right path as well. I wish you well.

Microsoft Office Questions? Ask a IT Expert for Support ASAP
Hi my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be assisting you with your problem today!
Can you tell me what program you are using?
Excel 2010
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX what I am understanding you want to label your columns with a title correct?
To do so you need to use row 1 of your worksheet as the column label and what you can do is to turn your data into a table
Take a look at this tutorial on using the table feature in Excel: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/quick-start-create-an-excel-table-HA010359200.aspx
I understand how to do that - What I am attempting to determine is IF I can change A to a label, and B to a Label, etc.
Columns are numbered and lettered such that the spreadsheet is in a grid form
A1 is always the top left
Understand that, I am working with someone who believes otherwise. I suppose if I hide labels then it would appear that the top row is my Label row.
Let me double check that in my excel (loading)
You can change the Column label
but it will still be identified as "A"
But you can type in a name to the column in the top left corner
Once you have the column selected
So if you select all of A or all of B
the top left cell has A1 or B1 etc
you can change the column label to something else
but the column will still remain A
A1,A2,A3 etc for the cells
despite the label of column A being something else
This is true for cell labels too
This allows you to reference the cell by the label
OK - Confirms what I thought. thanks.
So if I named "A2" as "Racoon"
I can now call another cell =(Racoon)
and it will get Racoon or A2's value
But Racoon is equal to A2
=(Racoon) or =(A2) will return the same result
does that make sense?
So the labeling is just aliasing the column, row, or cell
Understood - I have been using Excel for several years. When someone with a Ph.D. says you can change A to Label name you think twice.
but the absolute coordinates are still the base reference
Understood. You have answered my question.
Great, hope that has helped.
Let me know if that helps!
If it does please take a moment to rate our interaction to close this question.
Thank you,
If you have further questions, please feel free to ask them below and I will gladly continue to assist you!

Marywood University to Host Focus Festival- April 21
Published on Tue, April 20, 2010
Marywood University's Attention Disorders Clinic will host its first Focus Festival on Wednesday, April 21 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. in the Latour Room, Nazereth Center. The Focus Festival will increase student awareness of the factors that enhance and impair attention and concentration. Students will compete in a variety of attention and memory challenges, as well as learn about web sites that can improve attention, concentration, and working memory. Students also have the opportunity to play games that actually move objects based on "brain activity."
The ability to attend, concentrate, and focus is vitally needed for success at a collegiate level. However, lifestyle choices, undiagnosed or insufficiently treated medical conditions, and unrecognized psychiatric disorders (ADD/ADHD) can significantly impair these critical abilities. To increase awareness and improve attention, concentration, and working memory, the Attention Disorders Clinic will host its first Focus Festival. Games include Mind Ball, which essentially is a type of "tug-of-war" with your brain. Students will wear a band of EEG sensors and will attempt to move a sphere away from their goal box into their opponents', and whoever is concentrating more moves the ball into the other goal and wins. (There is no pain or risk associated with wearing the device.)
The Focus Festival will have live music, food, and prizes.

save your ammo train your family membes!
My fellow firearms talk members who I have tremendous respect for at this forum because I have always been treated with respect by members and moderators alike. Conserve your ammo! Every Bullet! Teach and train your wife children and every family member you trust how to shoot. For you members that are ex military like me take it one step further train your family members to be well armed and coordinated militia members. Don't assume that everything is going to be okay prepare for the worst I have a bad feeling about this president and this government. I think the government is broke and trying to hide how bad it really is. Thats all I have to say I really hope I'm just a crazy nut job who is paranoid but I see a Greece situation coming to America on a more massive scale and I think our Government does to.
It's like you just read my mind, I feel the same way.
I agree and have canceled several range trips since November actually.
I've read a lot of literature on societies that have recently collapsed (Eastern European countries 80's-90's)...
They all said, in hind site, it was really weird...Like everyone KNEW something was wrong, but they were all too afraid and ignorant to come out and say it...but looking back, they FELT it.
People started hoarding a little more food, people were buying guns if they could... things like that.
All the while, the media and politicians were acting like everything was fine and normal.....
If only we could boot all this government officials including the so called president and elect new officials.
Foodstuffs with long shelf life are even more important than ammo. You can't fight if you don't eat.:p

First-year Rider University men's basketball head coach Kevin Baggett landed his first verbal commitment this week, as 6-foot-8 forward Kahlil Thomas from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is in the fold.
Thomas earned honorable mention All-Broward County honors last season as a junior to help lead Blanche Ely (30-3) to a Florida State Championship.
According to ESPN, "Thomas is a long and athletic forward that plays extremely hard. He excels on the break by running the floor and finishing above, around or through the contact of defenders. He slashes to the basket with short quick drives and long play completions with terrific athleticism.''
Thomas averaged 7.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per-game for Blanche Ely. He blocked 48 shots, turned the ball over 41 times, shot 58 percent from the floor and 56 percent from the free throw line. Thomas also performed very well at the Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis and played for the Florida Elite (formerly known as the Florida Rams). His strong play at Elite boosted his stock, as his team won its second straight championship in a game televised on CBS.
The Broncs were 13-19 last season, the fewest victories since former head coach Tommy Dempsey's first season in 2005-06. Dempsey left Rider to become the head coach at Binghamton in May. Baggett, Dempsey's top assistant, officially replaced him on May 24.
The Broncs lost forward Novar Gadson, guard Jeff Jones and swingman Brandon Penn to graduation. Also, freshman guard Eddie Mitchell was dismissed from the team and transferred, as did guards Mark Medley and Charles Oliver.
Junior forward Danny Stewart, St. John's transfer Nurideen Lindsey (point guard), sophomore forward Junior Fortunat, junior guard Anthony Myles, 6-foot-10 senior center Dera Nd-Ezuma and senior guard Jonathon Thompson will form the core of Baggett's 2012-13 team.
Rider opens the season Nov. 13 against Stony Brook at Alumni Gym.

The DoJ showed some antitrust bite by blocking Nasdaq ICE's bid for NYSE Euronext, but does the move signal a tougher antitrust line in D.C.? It seems rather like this one was a gimme for regulators.
Antitrust chief Christine Varney and her counterparts at the FTC talked tougher coming into office than they have acted once in it, as the WSJ's David Reilly points out. Not that they've been sitting on their hands – last week DoJ blocked Verifone System's $485 million takeover of Hypercom.
Nasdaq ICE's bid for the NYSE was a special case because it would have reduced the number of U.S. stock-exchange operators from two to one, an antitrust red flag if ever there was one as Varney's statement made clear.
The deal might not have made it through the Bush DoJ either, said David Meyer, who served there and is now with Morrison Foerster in Washington. It "wasn't an easy one to fix."

Irish bank shares have recovered somewhat from this morning's steep falls following a downgrade by credit rating agency Moody's.
After falling as much as 38% earlier, shares in AIB are down 8.5% to stand at €1.17 this afternoon, while Bank of Ireland is down almost 8% at 89c.
Irish Life & Permanent managed to reverse its earlier losses to stand 10% higher at €1.82.
Moody's cut its ratings on 12 banks operating in Ireland, despite the Government's plan to create an asset management agency to buy up risky bank loans.
Fitch Ratings has cut Ireland's AAA credit rating to AA+ according to John Corrigan, director of the national pension fund.
Mr Corrigan told reporters this afternoon: 'We had AAA. Today they brought their rating to AA+'.
But a downgrade from Fitch following a similar move by Standard & Poor's will raise the cost of borrowing additional funds overseas.
Fitch also said it holds a negative outlook for Ireland, suggesting more cuts may come.
'The outlook for Ireland's public finances and fiscal risks is no longer consistent with an 'AAA' rating,' Fitch said in a statement.
The yield on Irish 10-year bonds rose to 5.35% compared with 5.31% in early afternoon trade.
In his Budget speech yesterday, Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said a new National Asset Management Agency would purchase soured assets at a significant discount to their €80-90bn book value by issuing Government bonds to banks.
Moody's said it had been incorporating expected losses on bank loan portfolios for some time.
However, it has considerably increased those expectations because of the continuing deterioration in the outlook for commercial property prices and the likelihood of more corporate defaults as the economy enters a deep recession.
Moody's is also concerned at the current erosion in residential loan performance, including the buy-to-let market, which makes up around 25% of the total market.
This has pushed the rating from a C rating to a D rating.
'We believe that these losses are likely to significantly weaken the capital positions of most Irish banks and building societies over the next two years', said Ross Abercromby of Moody's.
The 12 banks named are AIB, Bank of Ireland, ICS Building Society, EBS Building Society, Irish Life and Permanent, Ulster Bank Ltd, Ulster Bank Ireland, First Active, Bank of Scotland (Ireland), KBC Bank, Irish Nationwide Building Society and Zurich Bank.
Moody's said it expects AIB and Bank of Ireland to be the main beneficiaries of this new support scheme.
The Taoiseach had told the Dáil that the National Asset Management Agency will purchase the toxic assets held by the banks after it has evaluated them.
Brian Cowen said the amount paid for these assets will be less than their paper value, because the evaluation will take account of the decrease in property prices.
He said the paper value of the assets at the moment stands at about €80 to €90bn.
The Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said this new asset agency was going to buy from developers, the half-built apartment blocks and building sites, that they could no longer afford to finish.
It has emerged that the agency is to target all of the land and property development loans of the six banks of covered by the State guarantee.
It will purchase healthy borrowings as well as bad debts in some cases.
This means the total potential book-value of the loans that will be purchased will be between €80bn and €90bn.
However the amount paid will far less than this figure.
Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said that 'this is about ensuring people can access credit'.
He said it was also about giving assurances to depositors in Irish banks.
The new agency will have a commercial mandate.
'It is the intention to secure all of the loans. Some performing, some not performing, but it is important they are all taken in', Minister Lenihan said.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Activision Blizzard (ATVI) dropped 4.2% to $16.58 in Tuesday trading, mirroring rival video game publisher Electronic Arts' (EA) 2.8% loss to $24.13. The latter shed share value in anticipation of its earnings after the bell, average reviews of the newly-released Battlefield 4 and news it had ended its 15-year partnership with Tiger Woods.
EA reported second-quarter earnings of 33 cents, beating expectations by 21 cents, on revenue of $1.04 billion. Analysts surveyed by Yahoo! Finance expected revenue of $976.1 million.
For the seasonally-strong third quarter, EA predicts earnings of $1.22 on revenue of $1.65 billion, below analyst estimates of $1.32 on $1.75 billion. The video game company revised its full-year guidance to $1.25 a share on $4 billion in revenue.
For its most recently reported quarter, Activision reported earnings of 8 cents a share on revenue 42% lower year on year to $608 million. Management expects full-year revenue of $4.25 billion, below consensus of $4.29 billion. The company is slated to report third-quarter results on Nov. 6.
In post-market trading, EA has regained 3.2%, while Activision is unchanged.
TheStreet Ratings team rates Activision Blizzard Inc as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. The team has this to say about its recommendation:
"We rate Activision Blizzard Inc (ATVI) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook."

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
Located in the Indian Ocean between the Arabian peninsula and India, the Maldive Islands are as romantically isolated as any island chain known to travelers.
It's not impossible to get here, however. A three-hour flight from Dubai (with a recommended stopover) puts the islands within relatively easy reach of the Eastern U.S. and Europe.
The Maldives are made up of several hundred atolls, grouped in small archipelagos, generally no higher than a few feet above sea level. They're known for private island resorts and over-water villas – similar to the bungalows you'll find in Tahiti. Crystal clear waters and near shore reefs make for world-class snorkeling and scuba diving.
While the country is more socially conservative than even Tahiti or Fiji, the Maldivians are friendly, with a culture that seems to draw from South Pacific, Indian and African influences.
My host for the trip was Banyan Tree Hotels, and the accommodations they showcased were top-notch. Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, Angsana Ihuru and Angsana Velavaru were three of the private island resorts I stayed at or visited.
Each offers bungalow-style accommodations, and all had spectacularly pristine beaches. Velavaru features two-story over-water villas with private pools, reached from the main resort by a short boat transfer.
I'd recommend the Maldives for honeymooners and anniversary couples, scuba divers and snorkelers, and anyone looking for a unique hideaway. It's a truly amazing island destination, and becoming a prime spot for visitors across the world despite (or because of?) its remoteness.

Distributional Employment Effects of Ontario Minimum-Wage Proposals: A Microdata Approach
This paper examines the distribution of potential employment losses from the proposed increase in the Ontario minimum wage to 60 percent of the average Ontario wage. The analysis is based on microdata for 1989. It is found that the majority of workers affected are women, but the average cost gap of those affected is greater for men. Those most affected are young and part-time workers, with high-school education or less, and in the Retail, Accommodation and Food industries. Those affected come disproportionately from families with low earnings. The policy is estimated to reduce the number of jobs by 73-92 thousand or 1.2 to 1.5 percent.

Well, I can move around and keep warm hunting. And, the horse will help keep you warm riding in. The tents have a little wood stove, but they don't have any good wood. Dead pine that lasts maybe an hour. You have to keep your water bottle in the bag with you to keep it from freezing in the night. At my age I have to get up and take a whiz a couple of times. Plus they duct tape a commode seat to a makeshift frame over a hole in the ground. Doesn't take you long.
Should be plenty of snow to see what's going on. Might get the elk moving. Looks like it will warm back up about the time I ride out on the 15th.
But, I miss my bow hunting in Sept. When the bugling stopped you could find a sunny spot and take a nap. Doesn't look like there will be much of that.

Fire station holds bone marrow drive for sick child
A bone marrow drive was held Tuesday for Tyler Seddon, a 6-year-old Pascoag boy with leukemia who's in need of a bone marrow transplant.
The drive was held from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Hopkins Hill Fire Department, 1 Bestwick Trail, Coventry.
Support from first responders in the area started pouring in after word spread that Tyler loves firefighters and police officers.
Firefighters in Coventry said they wanted to get 110 people registered in hopes of finding a match for Tyler.
"This child is looking for a donor. Everyone's been sending cards, writing emails to him. I just figured a different way of getting help to him. So, I figured this would be the best way of giving life to a person. If not Tyler, hopefully we'll help someone else along the line," firefighter Gregory Francis said.
Potential donors had to fill out some forms and have a mouth swab taken.

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) in Newborns
Español: La conjuntivitis en los recién nacidos
Newborns with symptoms of conjunctivitis (pink eye) should see a doctor right away.
Neonatal conjunctivitis is a red eye in a newborn caused by infection, irritation, or a blocked tear duct. When caused by an infection, neonatal conjunctivitis can be very serious.
Symptoms and Causes of Conjunctivitis in Newborns
Newborns with conjunctivitis develop drainage from the eyes within 1 day to 2 weeks after birth. Their eyelids become puffy, red, and tender. The cause of neonatal conjunctivitis is often difficult to determine because, in many instances, the symptoms don't vary by cause.
Conjunctivitis in a newborn may be caused by a blocked tear duct, irritation produced by the topical antimicrobials given at birth, or infection with a virus or bacterium passed from the mother to her baby during childbirth. Even mothers without symptoms (asymptomatic) at the time of delivery can carry bacteria or viruses that can be passed to babies during birth.
The most common types of neonatal conjunctivitis include the following:
- Inclusion (chlamydial) conjunctivitis
Inclusion conjunctivitis is caused by the bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis, which a mother with untreated chlamydia (a sexually transmitted infection) may pass to her baby during childbirth. Symptoms of inclusion conjunctivitis include redness of the eye(s), swelling of the eyelids, and discharge of pus, and are likely to appear 5 to 12 days after birth.
- Gonococcal conjunctivitis
Gonococcal conjunctivitis is caused by the bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which a mother with untreated gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted infection) can pass to her baby during childbirth. Symptoms in a newborn with gonococcal conjunctivitis usually include red eyes, thick pus in the eyes, and swelling of the eyelids. This type of conjunctivitis usually begins about 2 to 4 days after birth.
- Chemical conjunctivitis
When eye drops are given to newborns to help prevent a bacterial infection, the newborn's eye(s) may become irritated. This may be diagnosed as chemical conjunctivitis. Symptoms of chemical conjunctivitis usually include mildly red eye(s) and some swelling of the eyelids. Symptoms are likely to last for only 24 to 36 hours.
- Other neonatal conjunctivitis
Red eye(s), and swollen eyelids with some pus, are also typical symptoms of conjunctivitis caused by viruses, and bacteria other than Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. For example, bacteria that normally live in a woman's vagina and are not sexually transmitted can also cause conjunctivitis. Additionally, the viruses that cause genital and oral herpes can cause neonatal conjunctivitis and severe eye damage. The mother may pass such viruses to her baby during childbirth. However, herpes conjunctivitis is less common than conjunctivitis caused by gonorrhea and chlamydia. During pregnancy and prior to giving birth, women with genital herpes should consult with their physician about ways to minimize the chances of spread to the newborn baby.
Prevention and Treatment of Conjunctivitis in Newborns
To prevent neonatal conjunctivitis, most hospitals are required by state law to put drops or ointment in a newborn's eyes to prevent disease. In the past, silver nitrate was used; it has been mostly replaced with antibiotic eye drops, such as erythromycin.
Neonatal conjunctivitis caused by a bacterial infection may be treated with antibiotics in the form of topical (eye drops and ointments applied to the eye), oral, or intravenous (given through a vein), depending on the severity of the infection and the bacteria that caused it. It can also be treated with a combination of topical, and either oral or intravenous antibiotics. The newborn's infected eye may also be rinsed with a saline solution to remove any pus that builds up.
If the conjunctivitis is caused by a blocked tear duct, a gentle, warm massage between the eye and nasal area may help. If the blocked tear duct is not cleared by 1 year of age, the newborn may require surgery.
Treatments for the common causes of neonatal conjunctivitis are as follows:
- Inclusion (chlamydial) conjunctivitis
Oral antibiotics are usually used to treat inclusion conjunctivitis.
- Gonococcal conjunctivitis
Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are usually given to treat gonococcal conjunctivitis. If untreated, the newborn could develop corneal ulcerations (open sores in the cornea) and blindness.
- Chemical conjunctivitis
Since this type of conjunctivitis is caused by chemical irritation, treatment is usually not required. The newborn will usually get better in 24 to 36 hours.
- Other bacterial and viral conjunctivitis
Antibiotic drops or ointments for the eye are usually given to treat conjunctivitis caused by bacteria other than Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. For both bacterial and viral conjunctivitis, a warm compress to the eye may relieve swelling and irritation. Be sure to wash hands before and after touching the infected eyes.

The real terrorist threat
Updated 10:00 pm, Sunday, July 25, 2004
Ian Spiers, questioned for taking photos at the Ballard locks, is one face of what's wrong with racial and religious profiling. Another is David Courtailler, who grew up in a small town in the French Alps, attended Catholic schools and was largely overlooked as he took up with Islamist terrorists.
Profiling is the lazy society's way of pretending to make itself safe. In fact, the practice erodes the civil liberties and blinds authorities to other dangers.
Spiers says he was questioned, identified and photographed after taking photos at the Army Corps of Engineers' facility for a Shoreline Community College class. The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking assurances he can return to the facility.
There's little doubt why Spiers was singled out from among the locks' hordes of photo-snapping tourists. Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Robert M. Jamieson Jr. describes Spiers (whose ancestry is Scottish and African American) as "vaguely Middle Eastern-looking or Latin."
As for Courtailler, The New York Times reports that even after U.S. intelligence identified him as an al-Qaida trainee, he was free to travel around Europe, consorting with radicals and persuading a brother to join him in converting to radical Islamist beliefs. After European authorities finally woke up, he was sent to prison.
Looks can be deceiving, as well as an excuse for ignoring real threats and denying fundamental rights.

As part of its planned expansion in Europe, Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways intends to increase its ownership stake in Air Berlin to 29 percent, a move that would make it the largest single shareholder in Germany's second largest airline.
Under the "strategic cooperation," announced December 19 in Berlin, Etihad will pay $95 million (€72.9 million) for new shares in Air Berlin, enlarging its present holding of 2.99 percent. Etihad will loan Air Berlin $255 million through 2016 "to support fleet development and network growth," and sign code-share agreements with Austrian airline Niki Luftfahrt and Belair Airlines of Switzerland, members of the Air Berlin group.
Air Berlin has been struggling financially, losing money over the first nine months of 2011. In third-quarter results announced November 17, the carrier reported an 11-percent increase in revenue to $1.8 billion (€1.37 billion) compared to the prior-year period. Net profit was down from $177 million (€136 million) to $39 million (€30 million).
Competing with Dubai flag carrier Emirates and Qatar Airways, Etihad has been pursuing code-sharing arrangements with airlines beyond the Middle East and has expressed interest in acquiring a minority stake in Irish carrier Aer Lingus, the Financial Times reported. Air Berlin is the first outside airline in which it has acquired an equity investment. The state-owned carrier said it has "generally undertaken for a duration of two years" not to acquire more than 29-percent ownership and not to attempt a public takeover. The transaction is due to close in the first quarter of 2012.
As part of the deal, Air Berlin will shift its Middle East operation from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and operate four A330-200 flights weekly from Berlin to Abu Dhabi beginning January 15. Etihad will code share on 36 of Air Berlin's 171 destinations; Air Berlin will code share on 24 of Etihad's 82 destinations.
"This new partnership expands our network reach, gives us access to 33 million new passengers and provides us with a real opportunity for global growth. Through Air Berlin we gain immediate access to a broad and complementary European market, with outstanding connectivity options for customers of both airlines," said Etihad CEO James Hogan. "We are always looking for ways to grow, and partnerships are a smart way to enhance our ability to compete on the world stage."

"Now you don't have to drive to Ukiah," said Sylvia Hernandez, owner of the A New Generation shop in Willits. A New Generation offers formal wear, accessories, party supplies and rentable party decor for special occasions here in town.
Satin evening dresses in delicious colors for proms, weddings or a special party are featured. So are festive wide-skirted ball gowns for sweet sixteens or young "quinceaneras" celebrating their 15th birthdays, as per tradition in Latin American countries and here in the U.S.
The store displays a collection of party favors and decorations, including dolls of many sizes, corsages, champagne flutes for toasting, and tiny hand-crocheted baby booties, dresses and sweaters. "My mom does the hand-crocheted favors," Hernandez said.
A New Generation is a real family business, with Hernandez's daughter, Makenzie, sister, Becky Ramirez, and niece, Ivanna Ramirez, helping out, too. "Makenzie likes to help decorate the hair combs and barrettes," Hernandez said. The family also makes all the wedding corsages the store sells, and there's a rack of beautiful white veils for brides.
The clothes for women and girls come in all sizes, including festive white baby gear, and white christening dresses. A New Generation also has white christening tuxedo suits for young boys in stock. Gentlemen looking for special occasion wear or tuxedos can order rentals from the Jim's Formal Wear catalogues on the counter. Ladies can do special orders, too.
Hernandez first started her business out of her home in Windsor. "I had all this in my house!" she laughed. "I still work from home, too," she said. "But I was coming up here a lot, and when this place opened up, I jumped at the opportunity." A New Generation has been open at 234 South Main Street, No. 3, in the complex behind Chase Bank, for a year now.
The pretty dolls range from figurines that might get placed on a birthday cake to bigger party favors for guests, to a large doll designed for the star of the coming-of-age party. "If the 15-year-old wants a doll to have the same exact outfit they're wearing, too," Hernandez said, "I have a gal in Windsor who does that."
Many of the party favors and decorations can be personalized, including champagne flutes, embossed satin sashes, and ribbons printed with personal messages or names to wrap round favors. A selection of tiaras and crowns is good for homecoming or prom night, as well as wedding parties or teen girl birthday celebrations.
"We're going to get more into shoes," Hernandez said. "We've got little boys and little girls shoes, too."
A New Generation also has a selection of rings, beaded earrings and other jewelry, mostly silver, as well as headbands for babies and jeweled hairpins.
D?cor items like decorative columns and tall cake stands are available for rent, as are candelabras, vases, table linens, and fancy table and chair covers. Party supplies on sale include gift bags, crepe paper rolls, plastic table covers, baskets, invitations and more. The store also carries the Mary Kay line of cosmetics.
A New Generation is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and by appointment on Sunday. For more information, call 707-291-5787.
