Sometimes, when writing about television on an episode-by-episode basis, it's easy to get caught up in all the "what ifs." It can be really hard to just turn off that part of your brain that's constantly wondering where everything is going. Since Stefan declared war on Klaus, I've completely fallen into this trap. My concern with where the story is leading and whether the journey will be justified once we get to the destination looms over every plot twist, as I search for something to finally click into place and give me the "a-ha!" moment I'm looking for.
The problem with this mental roadblock is that it completely discounts a huge part of what makes a show work: the characters. The Vampire Diaries has done a really meticulous job over the past few seasons developing a core of strong characters, mostly by putting them in insane situations and giving them the agency to get themselves out of them. And while I still have concerns about what seems like the ultimate futility of Klaus vs. Stefan, "Our Town" was so stuffed with wonderful character moments that it allowed me to turn off the "what if" part of my brain and simply enjoy these people.
Or not enjoy them, as you will. The main character we got to spend time with this week was Stefan, and Stefan was definitely not on his best behavior. His vendetta against Klaus has reached the psychotic, obsessive stage at which Stefan doesn't seem to care about anything around him except vengeance. He's basically Damon in season one, an unfeeling, out-of-control, unreasonable vamp on a mission to make everyone else miserable. By blood-raping Elena and then almost driving her off Wickery Bridge (which is where her parents died, like, really Stefan?) he basically just took everything he ever had with Elena, wadded it in a ball, and lit it on fire. In the process, though, it was easy to see he isn't actually unfeeling. Everything he's doing to Klaus, to Elena, to Damon, to himself, is because of Klaus taking Elena away from him way back when he forced him to leave town. Now Stefan is just punishing himself, and in turn Elena by forcing her to stop loving him. Paul Wesley has been great in this entire storyline, and he and Nina Dobrev did nice work in what looks to be their ultimate breakup scene. Heartbreaking stuff.
Elena and Caroline, while dodging potential death, are dealing with similar dilemmas this week, the notion of being stuck. Both are far from the people they thought they would be just a year ago, and both are having a hard time coming to terms with what this means. For Elena, it means letting go of the girl who knew nothing of vampires and the supernatural world; for Caroline, it means letting go of everything she thought she would be as a human and embracing her future as a vampire. While Elena made her peace with her former self with the help of a trusted friend, Caroline's came from a decidedly more sinister source: Klaus.
Klaus is in a really tricky place as a character right now. After spending most of his time as the show's "Big Bad," suddenly, there are no immediate evil schemes up his sleeve. As I mentioned last week, although the show is sort of still playing him as the bad guy, Stefan is really the one driving his story right now by forcing his hand. The beauty of having such an evil guy hanging around, though, is that you can basically have him do heinous things each week just for fun. His big project this week was threatening to kill Caroline in retaliation for all of the hybrid murdering Stefan's been doing. After unwittingly forcing Tyler to bite Caroline (which was chilling: Tyler has absolutely no free will anymore, and that is frightening) he showed up under the guise of "helping" Caroline recover, which led to one of the more interesting scenes we've had this season. Caroline – whose birthday has thrown her into a bit of an existential crisis – gets just the counsel she needs from Klaus, who tells her she needs to embrace her new life or simply allow herself to die. He then saves her, comforts her, and leaves her a birthday present for when she wakes up. It's oddly compelling, and the chemistry between Joseph Morgan and Candice Accola is definitely there. There's no way Klaus isn't using Caroline for some scheme along the way, but there was also definite feeling in what Klaus was saying to Caroline. Like he said, he never specifically wished Caroline ill; she was collateral damage, a means to an end. Klaus desperately holds on to his family because he needs connection to others but has no idea how to create healthy ones. Will Caroline be the person outside of his family he can connect with?
This episode was full of so many plot points, and was structured rather well, but when I look back on it whether or not Damon ripped out any hearts (he did) or Stefan chopped of any heads (he did) isn't going to be what I remember. What I remember will be Stefan and Elena coming to a crossroads, Klaus and Caroline broaching an unlikely truce in her bedroom, and Matt comforting Elena on the bridge. The "what ifs" of the plot can wait for another day.
Stray observations:
- The episode MVP has to be Matt, who came back from a long absence to give Elena that gorgeous friendship speech on the bridge. Definitely one of my favorite scenes of the entire series.
- Goodbye for now, Jeremy.
- I liked where they left the Damon and Elena relationship after last week's big kiss. There are obvious feelings there, but now isn't the time. Great maturity on Damon's part, there.
- What is up with Alaric's new doctor friend, Meredith? Murderer, or something more innocent?
- I genuinely feel bad for Tyler. He really doesn't have a place in this world when Klaus is alive, does he?
- Oh, hey, they still have the school sets up! That's adorable.
- "I'm stuck in a filler year."
- "Liz, I'm impressed. You're all strong and Sherriff-y."
- "No dead hybrids at the Founders party!"
- "I put a kid on a plane."
- "To beat the villain, Damon, you've got to be the better villain."

Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg are in negotiations with Columbia Pictures to star in the comedy I Hate You Dad, for Happy Madison, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The story centers on a father who moves in on the eve of his son's wedding and promptly begins feuding with the bride-to-be. Adam Sandler would play the dad, with Andy Samberg as the son, even though less than 12 years separate the two in real life.
I Hate You Dad is still in the development stages, and no director is on board, but the two actors are attached. The script was written by David Caspe with a rewrite by David Wain and Ken Marino.
No production date has been set.

Scholar-Application-Form 2020-2021_4
Deadline for applications: December 31, 2020
Recognised as a charitable organisation by the Ministry of Finance: File no. 13.36.002.04
The R.C. Nicosia –Aspelia Scholarship Fund was established in 2002 with a long-term view to provide annual financial assistance to needy students from the District of Nicosia. It awarded the first scholarships in September 2002 from the interest earned from a Capital Fund and other fund-raising events throughout the Rotary year.
The Trustees are the incumbent President, Incoming President, Vice President and two Past Presidents, as well as other officers who might be considered necessary.
The Scholarship Fund is recognized by the state as a legal entity charity for tax purposes and has supported more than 30 scholars so far.
Each student can be supported for up to four consecutive years to the first degree, provided that the high academic level required is maintained and they report to the Trustees of the Fund with their results in order to continue receiving their scholarship.
The Club is considering recruiting the successful scholars as potential Rotaractors.
A senior executive from a private university in Nicosia has volunteered as an advisor to help with the application assessment, interview and selection process. For his service, he has been awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship.
The scholarship is advertised in the local media (free of charge) every July/August, when students are home for their summer break or about to begin their new studies at the end of September. Interviews usually take place up to December to coincide with any holidays.
Corporate Sponsors
In recent years, the Club has introduced the scheme of Corporate Sponsors, whereby large companies contribute an amount equal to one scholarship a year, which constitutes their contribution as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility. That amount is tax-deductable.

Boho Awards 2006:
This issue is one of our favorites. The lovely chore of choosing Boho Award recipients is warm bread and sweet honey. Once we begin thinking about the people and institutions that have made strong contributions to the arts and community of the North Bay, we simply can't stop. The wealth of worthies is overwhelming in its number. Given the possibilities, it's truly difficult to confine ourselves to just five final choices.
In this, our ninth year of celebrating the arts in the North Bay, we are proud to introduce people and institutions both more and less familiar. 's is perhaps a recognized name; 's, perhaps not. Yet each have made significant contributions in her and his own way to our community, feats that we're glad to crow about on the following pages. Please also meet chamber maven ; the shock of the new that abounds at ; and the life lessons offered by .
We honor our recipients in person on Wednesday, Oct. 4, and invite you to join us at a public reception. The evening is to be outdoors at the Glaser Center (in the Universal Unitarian Church, 547 Mendocino Ave., south of College Avenue, Santa Rosa) from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and is free. The Trailer Park Rangers have graciously agreed to perform. We will be hailing our ninth Annual Boho Award recipients and enjoying light fare. We'd love to see you there!

Dust Over Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman24.8N 57.3E
Dust blows off the coast of Iran and over the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman. In winter in this region, dust storms are associated chiefly with the passage of westerly depressions. Here, the dust storm may be connected to a local phenomenon known as the "Shamal" (an Arabic word for "north").
A shamal is defined as sustained winds of 25 knots or greater. Wind direction is almost always northwesterly. The Shamal produces the most widespread hazardous weather known to the region. The winter Shamal is generally characterized by durations of either 24-36 hours or 3-5 days.
This "3-5 Day Shamal" occurs 1-3 times a winter and produces the strongest winds and highest seas found in the Persian Gulf. Over exposed Persian Gulf waters, sustained winds have reached 50kt which have produced 15+ ft seas. The 3-5 day shamal arises from the temporary stagnation of a 500mb short wave over or just east of the Strait of Hormuz , or from the establishment of a mean long wave trough stalling approximately 56E. Persistent dust and sandstorms occur.
Dust that restricts visibility is confined to the coasts and the immediate offshore areas of the Gulf of Oman during a strong "Shamal". Visibility drops as low as 3-5NM. Worst conditions are found at the mouths of rivers or canyons. Dust settles rapidly once winds drop below 15kt.

Technicin issue: HDMI vs. Component Video?
The technician who installed my U-Verse was a nice guy, sort of. He worked very hard and spent a lot of time getting my installation done.
Now, one thing I didn't understand is that he hooked up my TV using Component Video cables. He said the HDMI connection didn't work.
The picture looks OK, but I'm wondering if the digital HDMI connection might look better than the analog component output.
Should I open a support call on this, or should I just accept this. After all, if it works, it's got a lot going for it.
Accepted Solution
Official Solution
Hi Bruce Tyson,
When it comes to the difference between HDMI and Component cables, there is no difference, as of right now, on our U-verse services. Actually, the way TV is transitioning right now, it does not seem like it will be a difference any time soon. The main reason that you would want to go HDMI with our service is if you have a 3D TV and wish to look at 3D VOD. Component cables do not support that. Other than that, both give optimal resolutions of 1080i, although HDMI can go well beyond that, but our TV service does not broadcast higher than 1080i.
The main benefits of component cables is that there are known issues with HDMI cables. With HDMI, a 3-way handshake process is performed when the two devices start up a connection. So this happens when you turn on the TV, change the channel, and even some of the menu changes. If the 3-way handshake process fails at any point, then usually there is no picture or an odd picture like a pink screen. In our case, our STB displays a warning message stating there was and HDMI error and states to reboot the cable box. This happens very rarely, as with my many years of using HDMI connections, I have only had a problem 3 times with my devices that are connected HDMI, and only 1 time with my STB. But I have had calls where people state it happens every week, and we just transition them to component cables and the issue is resolved.
Also, with HDMI as BeeBee SA stated, the wiring looks better and is easier to handle with the 1 cable connection, and also, with many new TVs, there are a limited number of component connections vs HDMI connections.
Sometimes there may be a picture difference between the HDMI input and Component input, but that is not due to the signal, and can be easily rectified on any TV by simply changing the brightness/contrast/color/and any other simple TV settings.
I've seen where some that say component looks better than HDMI. I personally have all my TV's connected via HDMI. I like the cleaner, one cable look.
While the tech was trying to connect you up, did he say there was an issue with the U-verse receiver's HDMI out or the TV had an issue with it's HDMI port? Was the TV's HDMI working on your previous service provider? If so I would think he was having issues with the U-verse receiver. If that's the case and you want HDMI I would ask the box be swapped out with a new one. One of the community managers here can assist you in getting this taken care of.

Emily's white board had been in place for three days when I got the call. The tone in her voice was quite cheery.
"My team is absolutely amazing," she reported. "The first day was tough because production was pretty much the same as before. The daily target was 175 units and we only managed to produce 86. I thought the team would implode, but when I got to work the next day, they were all there early and the line was already running. Instead of shutting down the line for break, they took breaks one at a time to keep things moving. We still only got 110 units, but they saw the improvement. Yesterday, they changed a couple of more things and we produced 140 units.
"What's funny," she continued. "All I have done, as a manager, is post the target number on the board in the morning and make comments about their improvement. All the changes, they have done on their own. It's like everything has shifted. This is no longer my problem. They are working to fix it like it is their problem."
"And, what about your morale problem?" I asked.
Emily's face curled into a smile, "Oh, I don't think the problem was morale."

Brad congratulates Jen on engagement
BRAD Pitt sent Jennifer Aniston his congratulations on the news of her engagement.
The 48-year-old star spoke with his ex-wife, who he split from in 2005, to say how pleased he was to hear the news she is marrying actor Justin Theroux, who proposed at his 41st birthday dinner on Friday (10.08.12).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Brad gave Jen a quick call to say how pleased he was to hear that she was getting married.
"He jokingly asked if he should 'save the date', and they both laughed, but told her in all seriousness that he was really happy for her and Justin.
"He wished her luck and told her he hopes they're very happy together."
Brad is also set to marry his partner, Angelina Jolie - who he started dating shortly after splitting from Jennifer - in the coming weeks, and she also wished him well.
The source added: "Brad and Angelina are due to marry in the next few weeks and she wished him all the best for his wedding, too."
Although Jennifer, 43, and Brad don't speak too often, it is thought his mother, Jane, may still get an invite to her wedding, as they remained friends after the separation.
The source said: "Brad and Jen don't get in touch that often as they've both moved on with their lives.
"Jen does still chat to his mum, Jane, so there are rumours in Hollywood that she will make an appearance at the wedding.
"But the guest list hasn't even been started yet, so it's too early to say for sure."

The Bachelor Fine Arts can be pursued either at a full-time or part-time capacity. A third option is the Double Degree route, which leads to a BA in Fine Art as well as a BA in Art History provided through the Arts Media and Society programme delivered at Leiden University. All three routes, are offered as four-year programmes, where you learn how to handle a great deal of freedom within the structure of a well-balanced curriculum.
The first year is intended to introduce you to the aims and learning methods of the programme and to a wide range of disciplines including painting, drawing, printing, video, sculpture and performance. In the following years, you will explore all of the practical and theoretical facets of being an artist. Your final study phase concludes with a thesis and a solo presentation in the graduation show.
The department of Fine Arts at the KABK aims at aligning the past of fine art with its present and its future. We embrace history and traditions and root our discourse firmly in the contemporary. At the same time we research and imagine the future of fine art as an indispensable contributor to culture, society and economy. We try to equip future artists with skills, competencies, strategies and confidence to shape their future and the future of the arts.
Students get the opportunity to expand their artistic and other skills, such as collaboration, communication, self-management, observing from unexpected angles, decision making, critical reflection and critical distance to yourself - skills that are of high value for the arts and many other professional careers in the future.
Making art can be an isolating process. As a fine art department we provide the community and the critical context that breaks this isolation. Through this community, we sustain a meaningful relationship to life and to higher art education that is at once pragmatic and idealistic. It is this collective ethos that strengthens our commitment to maintaining the high-energy of creative ambition and engagement that continue to attract students and staff to work with us.
The individual learning of the student is the kernel of our teaching strategies, which are
- Independence: encourage students to work independently out of experience and experiments, with an understanding for the quality of the making, the context of the work and its strategical position, and to learn how to develop and trust intuition
- Guidance: support students through individual feedback and guidance
- Groups: foster discussions in peer situations to enable students to benefit from the context of a group
- Workshops: create an awareness for the wide options of techniques and technologies, relevant for the production of artworks
- Presentations: challenge students to rehearse the presentation of work as exhibitions and as verbal presentation
- Seminars, lectures and reading groups: provide an entrance to art history and art related theories as crucial contextual knowledge
- Theory and practice: link theory and practice through team teaching, involving teachers with experience from both fields
- Research: help students to understand research as an essential part of the artistic process and encourage to play with it
- Professional context: assist students to understand, what roles artists play in our societies, what economical, cultural, social and political conditions they have and enable them to design their future and that of the arts
40 artists and six art historians, art theorists and artists with a strong theoretical and research-oriented practice support students in their learning. With respect to their own practice and interests, they divide into three groups: sculpture, painting & printing and autonoom. Autonoom indicates artistic interests which can differ from those in the other groups, more oriented towards concepts, performance, time based work and other strategies.
Students choose one of the groups as a home base for their learning from year two onwards. Joining a section does not limit students in their choice for artistic realisations. Students can change their affiliation to a group in the course of their studies. form the critical inquiry group and develop and deliver a theory based programme. All four groups develop the curriculum in close contact to each other.
Full-time, part-time and double degree
Full-time and part-time mode lead to the same degree. The learning appointments for part-time students are arranged to accommodate their specific living conditions and the conditions of their jobs, where necessary. A greater proportion of independent learning is expected from them. The harmonisation between the full-time curriculum and the part-time curriculum is currently under development. In some instances a complete synchronisation might not be achieved this year.
Double degree
The double degree pathway leads students to the achieve two bachelor degrees in parallel within four years, one in fine art and one in art history. The BA in art history is provided through the Art, Media and Society programme at Leiden University. A system of exemptions from curriculum elements has been developed to guarantee the validity for the award of the bachelor degree. In many cases the fine art elements of the curriculum resemble those for the part time students.
Programme structure - Curriculum
The curriculum spans over a period of four years and is constructed out of the following blocks at all year levels. Blocks contain specific courses.
The studio remains the nucleus for all learning and teaching. In the studio the process of learning itself is made visible, for the student as well as for others. We see the studio as a space, where you can leave a thought behind and it is still there, when you return the next morning. The studio is the 'flight simulator' for professional practice. The studio in the context of an art school allows students to establish a critical and supportive community, and builds future networks and opportunities for a contemporary art practitioner.
The core of the learning in the years two, three and four of the BA-Fine Art curriculum is studio practice. Increasingly more time and credits are allocated for individual artistic work. The development of ideas and its transformation into works of art and artistic strategies stands in the foreground.
Dedicated studio spaces are made available and highly qualified artists follow students with support, guidance and critical feedback. Artist-teachers provide critique and support in regular individual tutorials and in group activities. Students are strongly advised to engage in group activities and discussions as a necessary counterbalance to the development of their individual work.
Art is a highly individual practice and can often have a high degree of self-reflection and self-reference: but it is always a professional practice. The role of the artists has changed over the centuries and keeps changing with an accelerating speed in contemporary times. An art market has blossomed which provides fortunes for some investors, dealers and selected artists. Collecting works of art can be a cultural and an economic act at the same time. The desire for culture and art grows as the continuously increasing number of people visiting exhibitions, biennials and festivals shows, leaving a substantial residue for businesses and tourism. National and regional governments and city councils have developed ingenious systems to support the arts. With this as a backdrop we understand professional practice as the necessity to understand the economy of the artists now and in future.
Through a programme of lectures and seminars we want to enable the artists of the future to understand their own economy and their contribution to the economy of our societies, rather than waiting for a volatile market to pay attention and the sheer skill to attract subsidies. We invite experienced artists, curators, museum directors, collectors, gallerists, economists, legal advisors and specialists from the wide range of science and society to present their thoughts. At the same time, we engage students in the thinking of the many artists' initiatives and collectives active in the Netherlands and abroad and aim to provide access to alternative thinkers, political activists and institutional critique. Furthermore, students exercise in organising a few group shows. The aim of professional practice is to pay tribute to the changing roles of artists and to enable the reinvention of our economy as artists.
Research practice gives students the opportunity to get acquainted with various modes of research in and through the arts. Through seminars, projects and guest lectures by artistic researchers students will understand what importance research has for the production and perception of art and how art practice and art works contribute to our knowledge as mankind and societies, on eye level with and as an important counterpart to science. Students are provided with the opportunity to play with various notions of artistic research to inform the decision if they want to pursue research as artist actively and in what form.
Art history, art theory and reflections on artistic research firm under the heading critical inquiry. Understanding the history of the arts as embedded in the history of our societies is crucial to maintain a reflected stand as a contemporary artist. The contemporary discourse in art related theories inevitably provides the resonating body and the timbre for every artist today.
All students follow a mandatory programme of lectures, seminars and projects in art history and theory and in relation to artistic research. A written thesis is part of the final exam. Studio teachers and theory teachers work in close contact to each other, among others in the docking station project.
In addition to the mandatory programme students can join additional reading groups as electives to go deeper into specific issues. They can also sign up for a wide range of offers provided by Leiden University.
It is a tradition at KABK that students spend a certain amount of time of their studies to widen their horizon beyond their discipline. This is called the individual study trajectory (IST). IST projects are offered academy wide and foster collaboration between the ten departments. As part of the IST programme students can also get access to many offers made by Leiden University. In addition to this the fine art department has developed a range of electives, relevant for the studies of fine art. Students in year two and three must choose at least 2 electives or IST offers per semester. The final exam project contains 12 credits of IST as individual learning and practice.
The objectives of the programme are to enable students
to develop ideas independently out of experience, critical reflection and contextual awareness and to transfer them into works of art
to make informed decisions about the application of techniques and technologies in the execution of their ideas
to recognise their making and thinking in the context of contemporary fine art and its historical development
to reflect critically upon the own work and that of others
to present their work to a wider public and to reflect upon it verbally
to contextualise their making and the development of their strategies in writing
to understand research as an essential part of the artistic process.
These objectives refer to the general national learning outcomes and are expanded by them.
Further education
The Bachelor Fine Arts enables you to continue studying at a master and even a PhD level. A typical master programme that follows the Bachelor Fine Arts is the Master Artistic Research at the KABK. More master programmes, relevant to fine art, are under development. The University of the Arts, The Hague is one of the few art schools in the Netherlands that offers a PhD route.
Many of our graduates have continued on to attend postgraduate art schools in the Netherlands, such as De Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten and De Ateliers in Amsterdam, and/or have excelled at master programmes in Europe and abroad, e.g. Glasgow School of Art.

Equal rights for healthy food – NOW!
So there's a proposal kicking around to ban junk food from one checkout aisle at every supermarket.
Just in the ACT though, so it'll only affect the five people in Canberra who don't charge all their groceries to a government credit card and have them home delivered.
So if this proposal does come in, you know which supermarket queue people will choose?
The one with the fewest people in it. Duh.
This proposal pops up every few years, and one of the main reasons always given is that it offers respite for parents with children who whinge for sweets.
However, if this is such an issue, how do the parents manage to take their kids anywhere?
Convenience stores, chemists, other supermarket aisles, and so many others. All with those evil sweeties next to the register.
However, the sweets aren't the problem. It's parents who blame everyone else for their inability to control their children.
My mum had an extremely effective method for stopping me asking for sweets. She dropped me on my head. By accident, apparently.
Really, providing one sugar free supermarket checkout does very little about the core problem.
That some parents are lazy and stupid, and they don't drop their kids enough.
Hang on, that's not actually the problem.
It's that sugar is continuously shoved in all our faces, and it's highly addictive, and it's really bad for us.
Low-fat foods are widely available now but sugar is just as bad for us, if not worse, and it's been getting away with murder for years.
So we shouldn't be targeting the checkouts or the parents. We need to target the sugar.
Here's my proposal. Half the checkouts have junk food. Half of them do not. Then there's only one queue, and similar to the security checkpoints at some airports, there's a security guard who directs people to the different checkouts.
Then the supermarket security guard operates like a nightclub bouncer, but with a twist. Instead of knocking back anyone who's too drunk or male, they decide who's allowed near the sweets.
It seems harsh, but what would you prefer? A healthier society with a few more rules, or type two diabetes for everyone?
Or we could do something sensible. The government are a bunch of people whose job it is to look after us. So they could actually start looking after us, by providing better labelling on all food. Making it obvious to all who can read, how fat and sugar and everything else in our food is affecting us.
Until the government, the supermarkets and society decides that being healthy is more important than money, however, we're all stuffed and the sugar bombardment will continue.
We need subsidies, so it becomes just as profitable for shops to put the healthy stuff next to the register.
Opponents to my amazing idea will say that people need to exercise a bit of free will. Or just exercise.
Well how free is your will when the sugary stuff is heavily advertised, widely available and highly addictive?
As a compromise, let's make it a rule that healthy stuff has to feature in the same amount of advertising, and gets the same amount of checkout space.
Finally, equal rights for the food we should be eating.
Who's going to pay for it all? The companies who make the junk food.
Which will probably never happen. So your only option to escape temptation, if your mum isn't around to drop you on your head, is to traipse down those sugar-stacked checkout aisles with your eyes closed.
You won't be tempted by the sugary stuff, and as you trip over, squash your purchases and fumble to pay, you'll provide a hilarious interlude for the other shoppers. Everybody wins!

Being a philanthropist, I attended a benefit a month or so ago for homeless kittycats. Friends of mine were playing and sensual rites of burlesque were to be observed. Sympathetic to the plight of displaced pussy and a big fan of ass n' titties, I made my way to Partners, the New Haven gay bar this soiree was being held at. Being of secure and non-homophobic orientation and possessing the clandestine knowledge that in addition to making pious Christians squirm, HOMOSEXUALS FUCKING PARTY, I anticipated an evening of…gaiety.
As true metal acolytes Nasty Disaster were setting up, I noticed a familiar face by the bar. "Who's the asshole in the Buckcherry hoodie?" I thought to myself, unable to place this asshole in the Buckcherry hoodie. All doubt was removed as said asshole joined Nasty on stage and with but a howl, revealed himself as none other than the grand high arbiter of faggotry, Seth Putnam. Anyone who fails to appreciate the irony here… why are you even fucking reading this?
I first met Seth at Deathstock '95, where Anal Cunt shared a bill with Carnivore, Mortician and Fallen Christ. He and then-new guitarist Scott Hull were one of my first ever interviews and they drunkenly beat the piss out of my mom's camcorder with a broom while not answering my questions. When my old band opened for AC and Incantation (yes, they played "Kyle From Incantation Has A Moustache") back in '97, my other guitarist Jay Suecof got AC to play a song called "Ryan From Capharnaum Has One Testicle."
There's a video somewhere, along with footage of Seth popping wheelies and falling over in Jay's wheelchair. I'm still convinced the song "Van Full Of Retards" is about us.
Anyone who knows AC knows that song titles are half the fun. Fuckin' A, the band's newest release on PATAC Records, features such gems as "Loudest Stereo," "Kicking Your Ass and Fucking Your Bitch" and "Hot Girls on the Road." As those titles and its Too Fast for Love-biting art may suggest, Fuckin' A is Anal Cunt's sleaziest-sounding record to date.
"It sounds like AC, Motley Crue and Buckcherry," Seth explained in a spontaneous interview with Gun Shy Assassin. "It's got my most sexist lyrics ever," he enthused.
Their first full-length in ten years, the record also boasts actual song structures, making it something of a unicorn within the diarrhea-amoeba that is Anal Cunt's discography. Following the hott cock rock action of Fuckin' A, Seth revealed that the band will soon be releasing Wearing Out Our Welcome on Limited Appeal Records. "It's a return to form. Some of the songs we've got on it are 'Cop-Calling Faggot,' 'Beating Up Niggers Who Sell Fake Crack' and 'TsuNasum.'"
Seth elucidates: "We did a tour with Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer and Nasum. He [Miesko] was such an arrogant asshole, saying that they were so much better than us but we blew every band off the stage every night. One of the lyrics is 'I survived my coma, you got killed by water.' The guy deserved it. He was such an asshole to us."
Some polarizing shit right there. Take it as entertainment or take it to heart and get butt-hurt, but the world needs people like Seth Putnam. No matter how low your sweet chariot may swing… Seth's has swung lower; and despite how lowly a reprobate fuck you may be, Seth has got you beat tenfuckingfold. While some assholes develop a reputation, Seth has eked out a career.
Exhibit A: the first 100 copies of Fuckin' A come with a photograph of Seth getting a blowjob while shooting heroin. "It's totally real. Dan from PATAC took it. There was no fakin' it," Seth deadpans.
While you may not be at fault for needing to recalibrate your moral compass to facilitate listening to Anal Cunt, be advised that possession of something so metaphysically gay as a "moral compass" may render you a boss fag who shouldn't be listening to Anal Cunt in the first place.

Private and secure
Your privacy is always protected and your information is secure.
Prescriptions made easy
We work with your doctor or local pharmacist to take care of transfers, refill requests, and more.
This medication is used to treat the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis when there is a high risk for stomach bleeding/ulcer. This product contains 2 medications: esomeprazole and naproxen. This product should not be used to relieve sudden pain. The naproxen starts to work slower than other naproxen products because of a special coating (delayed-release).
If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. Naproxen can cause stomach ulcers, especially in patients with a history of stomach ulcers. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks acid production in the stomach. This combination provides the benefits of naproxen and may reduce the risk of ulcers or bleeding that can occur with naproxen use.
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily (in the morning and evening) at least 30 minutes before a meal. Take it with a full glass (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) of water unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking this drug. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not break, chew, crush or dissolve the tablet. Doing so can destroy the slow release of the drug and may increase side effects. If needed, you can take antacids while using this medication.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. To reduce your risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take this medication at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or take it for longer than prescribed.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same times each day. It may take up to 2 weeks of taking this drug until you get the full benefit.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. The risk of side effects goes up over time. Ask your doctor how long you should take this medication.
See also Warning section.
Upset stomach, heartburn, diarrhea, drowsiness, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
This medication may raise your blood pressure. Check your blood pressure regularly and tell your doctor if the results are high.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: easy bruising/bleeding, lightheadedness/fainting, signs of a lung infection (such as fever, cough, trouble breathing), difficult/painful swallowing, symptoms of a low magnesium blood level (such as unusually fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, persistent muscle spasms, seizures), hearing changes (such as ringing in the ears), signs of lupus (such as rash on nose and cheeks, new or worsening joint pain), symptoms of heart failure (such as swelling ankles/feet, unusual tiredness, unusual/sudden weight gain).
This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Stop taking this medication and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage, including: persistent nausea/vomiting, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of bacteria. Do not use anti-diarrhea or opioid medications if you have any of the following symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, fever, blood/mucus in your stool.
Rarely, proton pump inhibitors (such as esomeprazole) have caused vitamin B-12 deficiency. The risk is increased if they are taken every day for a long time (3 years or longer). Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency (such as unusual weakness, sore tongue, or numbness/tingling of the hands/feet).
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash/blisters, unexplained fever, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine).
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking naproxen/esomeprazole, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to either of them; or to aspirin or other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, celecoxib); or to other proton-pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, pantoprazole; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: asthma (including a history of worsening breathing after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs), liver disease, stomach/intestinal/esophagus problems (such as bleeding, ulcers, recurring heartburn), heart disease (such as history of heart attack), high blood pressure, stroke, swelling (edema, fluid retention), low sodium blood levels, blood disorders (such as anemia), bleeding or clotting problems, growths in the nose (nasal polyps), lupus.
Kidney problems can sometimes occur with the use of NSAID medications, including naproxen. Problems are more likely to occur if you are dehydrated, have heart failure or kidney disease, are an older adult, or if you take certain medications (see also Drug Interactions section). Drink plenty of fluids as directed by your doctor to prevent dehydration and tell your doctor right away if you have a change in the amount of urine.
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness until you can do it safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis).
This medication may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined with this medicine, may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Proton pump inhibitors (such as esomeprazole) may increase your risk for bone fractures, especially with longer use, higher doses, and in older adults. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about ways to prevent bone loss/fracture, such as by taking calcium (such as calcium citrate) and vitamin D supplements.
Older adults may be at greater risk for bone loss and fractures (see above), stomach/intestinal bleeding, kidney problems, heart attack, stroke, and Clostridium difficile infection while using this drug (see Side Effects section).
Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the benefits and risks (such as miscarriage, trouble getting pregnant). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It is not recommended for use during the first and last trimesters of pregnancy due to possible harm to the unborn baby and interference with normal labor/delivery.
Naproxen passes into breast milk. It is unknown if esomeprazole passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: aliskiren, ACE inhibitors (such as captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (such as valsartan, losartan), corticosteroids (such as prednisone), lithium, methotrexate (especially high-dose treatment), rifampin, St John's wort, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide).
This medication may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others.
Some products need stomach acid so that the body can absorb them properly. Esomeprazole decreases stomach acid, so it may change how well these products work. Some affected products include atazanavir, erlotinib, nelfinavir, pazopanib, rilpivirine, certain azole antifungals (itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole), among others.
Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as celecoxib, ibuprofen, or ketorolac). These drugs are similar to naproxen and may increase your risk of side effects if taken together. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Daily use of naproxen may decrease aspirin's ability to prevent heart attack/stroke. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits. Ask about other medications that can be used to treat pain/fever.
This product may interfere with certain laboratory tests, possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this product.
If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: severe stomach pain, coffee ground-like vomit, trouble breathing, extreme drowsiness, loss of consciousness, seizures.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Do not share this medication with others.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (such as blood pressure, complete blood count, liver and kidney function tests) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. If you are taking this medication regularly for a long time, magnesium and vitamin B-12 levels may also be periodically checked. Consult your doctor for more details.

July 7: If Corey Maggette has to forget about getting more than the mid-level exception and is going to take a long contract that lasts for years, he might as well do it on a team that can compete for a championship. He'd make a nice scoring option off the bench for the Celtics, though defensively he has a lot to learn. He'd also help the Pistons or Spurs… Chris Duhon is a real point guard who is limited by his athletic ability. Keyon Dooling is super-athletic but not a real point guard… The Heat cut some dude named Jonny Reibel. I'd have cut him just because of the spelling of his first name. Remember Ralph Sampson? If his name was spelled "Ralfie" or something, I'd have sent him packing… I understand teams like the Knicks and Nets focusing on 2010 free agency, but it's kind of a bad message to send to fans: 'We plan on being lousy in the hope that two years from now, of two or three really great players out there, one of them agrees to sign with us.' … The Nuggets may keep Anthony Carter? That's like the Celtics getting Kevin Garnett. Similar impact. Give or take… So will Elton Brand stick with his Clippers team or bail on them and head to the Warriors for a lot more money? Must be an extremely tough decision… The Celtics should really give James Posey a mid-level exception deal if that's what he wants… I still don't know what Al Harrington's ideal NBA position is. Do you? … NBA summer league games are good for seeing your favorite rookies. Other than that, they don't bring much to the table. Fortunately, every team has at least two or three guys worth watching.
This commentary is in response to today's NBA rumors… Go Inside Hoops every day… Talk with other fans on the InsideHoops basketball message board.

Talk to any number of our teachers and I bet they'll share one thing in common: a passion for kids. But what cool things happen when a teacher combines her personal passions with her passion for the classroom? Enter, WJ Christian's Aimee Castro, Spanish teacher and travel aficionado.
A native of New Orleans and a 2003 graduate of Loyola University, Aimee moved to Atlanta after college to work for AmeriCorps. It was then that she began to experiment with travel. In 2004 , Aimee explored Europe and South America and lived in Argentina for four months, during which time she learned Spanish. With this new skill, Aimee decided to go back to school to earn her master's in English as a second language and a degree in Spanish. In 2001, she joined the staff at Birmingham City School's WJ Christian as a Spanish teacher, and she has been there ever since.
Aimee has experienced first hand the impact of travel on the lives of students, including her own, and she is intent on creating similar opportunities for students in Birmingham City School. This year, she plans to take a group of students to Costa Rica to expose them to a new culture, while also contributing to their academic credentials: middle school students will get a high school credit and high school students receive a college credit for participating.
"My passion is culture and history,"Aimee said, "And it is an untapped market in Birmingham City Schools. Our kids often miss out on these opportunities because of the lack of resources…but it's possible. That's where we see Ed step in, collaborating with us teachers to make our projects successful."

The Maltese archipelago, consisting of the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino, lies 93km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa.
The attractions of Malta lie in its superb weather and the sparkling Mediterranean sea that surrounds the individual islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. The islands' rich history, most evident in the 16th century splendour of the capital Valletta, a UNESCO world Heritage site, is also a major draw for visitors.
To Eat
To Stay
Valletta, built by the medieval order of the Knights of St John during the 16th century, is on a peninsula that's only 1km by 600m. Buildings of historic importance include St John's Co-Cathedral and the Grandmaster's Palace, which was built between 1571 and 1574. The National Museum of Fine Arts is in a Rococo palace dating back to the late 1570s, and the Manoel Theatre, built in 1731, is one of the oldest working theatres in Europe.
Less than an hour from Valletta is the pretty fishing village of Marsaxlokk (pronounced Marsa-schlock). Famous for its many fish restaurants, locals frequent the fish market on Sundays before having brunch in the village. The small harbour is filled with the traditional Maltese boats called Luzzu.
Blue Lagoon
Outdoor Fun
The island of Comino is a wildlife sanctuary and home to a small number of permanent residents. It is only 2km long by 1.7km wide, and outside of two small sandy beaches, its biggest attraction is the picturesque bay known as the Blue Lagoon with its famously clear azure blue water. There are regular ferries to Comino from Malta and Gozo and there is one hotel on the island.
The ancient city of Mdina sits high above the surrounding countryside and was once the island's capital. Cars are not allowed in the city, which is joined to its near neighbour Rabat. Visitors come to see the mix of well-preserved architectural styles, which include Norman, medieval and baroque buildings, in addition to the city's famous fortified walls.

Dr.Vijayendra Murthy is an internationally acclaimed ayurvedic physician and researcher. He is the director of Ayuwave London, UK (www.ayuwave.com) and visiting academic, Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton. Taking a functional medicine approach, Dr. Vijayendra helps individuals attain their best possible health potential in preventing and managing a wide range of chronic illnesses. Dr. Murthy's diverse medical education and clinical background spanning across India, New Zealand, Australia and England since his first set of medical qualifications in 1995, which has shaped his practice. After nine years of training in Ayurveda alongside medical sciences at medical teaching hospitals from Bangalore University, Dr.Murthy worked in private practice, hospitals, communities and herbal manufacturing, later becoming academic and research leader at a leading natural therapies college in New Zealand. His Masters in public health from the University of Auckland and PhD in Australia on women's use of complementary and alternative medicine combined with continuous clinical practice has fine-tuned Dr.Vijayendra's methods of public health service. At present, Dr. Murthy lives and practices as the Director of Ayuwave, in London, UK. His healing methodology is quickly attracting a wide range of health seekers and patients including notable celebrities, dignitaries and members of the British Royal family. Recently, Dr. Murthy has begun a cutting edge Radio Show, namely Unlock your Health (www.uyhradio.com) where he presents a wide range of current health topics and interviews world-class scientists, medical professionals, complimentary health experts, healers, and environmentalists.
In this presentation Dr Vijay Murthy will critically appraise the traditional practices of vegetarianism within the context of cultural, social, historical and political influences on dietary beliefs. While vegetarianism and veganism are a novelty for the traditionally meat eating west, more so amongst individuals and emerging communities of health minded and/or sustainability oriented contemporaries, for most of the modern Indian population, vegetarianism is not a choice. Rather, it is one of several interconnected values that are handed down in a rigidly packaged tradition. As such important lessons can be learnt about the impact of healthy vegetarianism and unhealthy vegetarianism on the health or ill-health of individuals and communities. Moreover, the example of Indian vegetarian values can offer insights into the complex outcomes of dietary choices on the overall tapestry of society and eventually on the health of populations and the health of our planet. There is a call for caution when we can either be divided or untied by such strong forces as our 'daily food'.

State, Winsted officials discuss how to fund repairs to Holabird Avenue Bridge
WINSTED >> As infrastructure continues to be one of the town's biggest concerns, State Rep. Jay Case scheduled another on-location meeting to discuss roads - this time the Holabird Avenue Bridge was the topic.
On Monday morning, Case gathered Town Manager Dale Martin, Public Works Director Neil Amwake, Assistant Minority Leader David Scribner and others to find out how to secure funds for road improvement.
The group met on the bridge and reviewed the possibility of gaining financial support from the state Department of Transportation.
The current state of many streets in Winsted has been concern of many residents in town. Former public works director Jim Rotondo outlined a priority list of streets and roads that needed the most attention in 2012. Rotondo resigned earlier this year after finding "the current climate of financial uncertainty, unrelenting divisiveness and frequent turnover in the Town Manager's office to be discouraging," he wrote in his resignation letter.
Now, with a new public works director handy, Case plans to get the infrastructure improvements underway.
"What we're trying to do is find money to improve this bridge," Case said Monday. "We know the economic climate in Connecticut is shaky, and we know the state is spending too much money. But I believe there's a way to secure some already-appropriated funding and move forward with this much-needed infrastructure project. I wanted everyone to come together today so we can improve the lives of my constituents."
The on-site meeting allowed for ConnDOT staff to review the current condition of the bridge, discuss the proposed design and construction intent, the project limits and phasing with town officials and WMC Consulting Engineers.
ConnDOT will continue will meet with the legislature to figure out a source of funding since Winchester will not be able to foot the bill in its current financial state. Case is trying to acquire the funds through either a federal or state grant in order to better the roads in his hometown.
Amwake, who says he needed to be present as the public works director, said the meeting was a follow up on discussions already in progress.
"[We were there] to talk about the scope and the funding for the project," he said. "It was about bringing everyone together to talk about how import [the bridge] is to the community, the residents, fire department establishments and Northwest Connecticut Community College."
There is currently no estimate on what the project will cost nor is there a projected completion date for any repairs.

Kristin Pauker, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University whose research focuses on children's understanding of race-related knowledge and the impact of this understanding on behavior. Specific to this application, Dr. Pauker plans to study how children's understanding of race- related knowledge (e.g., discrimination) and nonverbal influences in their environment (e.g., nonverbal behavior depicted in the media) affect the emergence of interracial anxiety and racial seggregation in children. Extant research has established links between discrimination and negative mental-health outcomes, particularly for minority children. Interracial friendships may provide one potential buffer against these negative outcomes through decreasing interracial anxiety and the overall prevalence of discrimination. However, despite continued efforts to improve race relations in America, interracial friendships often drastically decline around the 5th grade. The primary goal of this research is to examine what processes underlie this decline and subsequent self-segregation, and to uncover how to motivate children to approach interracial interactions with positive expectations. Dr. Pauker plans to conduct this research at Stanford University where she will work with experts in social development and race perception. Under the mentored phase, she will complete two studies. The first study tests whether children's understanding of discrimination fosters interracial anxiety and declines in interracial friendships in middle childhood. Specifically, it will measure the emergence of interracial anxiety in White and racial minority children ages 8-13 and examine the potential antecedents, behavioral correlates, and consequences of this anxiety as they emerge developmentally. Further, children's na?ve or implicit lay theories about whether personality is fixed or can change should direct children's interaction expectations, behavior, and future motivations. The second study tests whether manipulating children's implicit lay theories can change their expectations, create positive interactions, and increase motivation for interracial contact and friendship formation. In the independent phase, a longitudinal study will be conducted to examine the contribution of discrimination understanding and implicit lay theories to changes in the trajectories of interracial anxiety and interracial friendships over this age-range. Moreover, a series of studies will be conducted to address whether such nonverbal anxiety can be conveyed through patterns of nonverbal behavior represented in children's environment (e.g., media, parents). The results of the entire set of studies will then inform a larger R01 application aimed at developing and testing an intervention to foster positive interracial interactions and increased interracial friendships.
Discrimination-often associated with decreased mental health for particularly racial minorities- becomes increasingly salient in middle childhood. The current research should help uncover how different strategies for coping with the threat of discrimination may (a) shape children's anxiety in interracial interactions and (b) influence the maintenance of interracial friendships, a potentially important buffer against the negative effects of discrimination. Additionally, it will test two potential ways to foster positive interracial interactions and increase interracial friendships, in order to curb negative pathways early on and promote positive development.

Children in 29 California neighborhoods have been exposed to high levels of lead poisoning that rival those of Flint, Michigan, according to data Reuters obtained from the California Department of Public Health.
In one Fresno community, about 14 percent of children tested for lead levels higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's threshold of five micrograms per deciliter of blood.
Comparatively, 5 percent of children in Flint tested above the CDC threshold during the early stages of that city's contaminated water crisis.
High lead levels were also found in parts of downtown Los Angeles and the Bay Area. In Alameda County, eight communities reported levels equal to or greater than Flint's rates. In Los Angeles, four communities reached or surpassed Flint's levels.
Statewide, about 2 percent of all children tested in 2012 had rates that reached or surpassed federal standards, Reuters reported.
No amount of lead is considered safe, but the CDC's threshold has been established to indicate elevated levels. High rates of lead poisoning can harm a child's nervous system, kidneys and other organs, and can also lead to learning and behaviors problems.
State officials conducted the tests about five years ago and looked at children under the age of 6 who were at risk for lead exposure. This included children enrolled in Medicaid or children who lived in older homes.
By comparison, officials in Michigan tested children living at or below the poverty levels, as well as children enrolled in Medicaid.
While the tests are unable to determine the source of the lead poisoning, officials said potential causes include lead-based paint, contaminated soil or drinking water.
Our love/hate relationship with lead is as old as history itself. The origin of "plumbing" comes from the Latin word for lead. But only in the 1970s did we realize the consequences of even low doses of the hazardous metal, and by then it was in our pipes, our paint and our fuel. Science correspondent Miles O'Brien examines the lasting health consequences.
In an effort to address the lead poisoning concerns, local prevention programs have been providing services including testing recommendations and counseling programs to help families affected by lead exposure.
Additionally, California assemblymember Bill Quirk recently introduced a bill requiring all children in the state to be tested for lead.
"As a scientist and chairman of the Assembly Environmental Safety & Toxic Materials Committee, it is important to me that we collect blood lead data for all children," Quirk said in a statement. "This will make sure all kids have access to health care services for lead exposure. More comprehensive data will also help the state better identify where there are lead exposure clusters."
