Pneumocystis jiroveci: HRCT scan in a patient with a normal chest X ray
High-resolution computed tomograph (HRCT) scan of the chest of an HIV-infected patient, CD4 count of <200 cells/µL, who had a normal chest radiograph. Bilateral patchy areas of ground glass opacity are suggestive of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, which was microscopically confirmed by examination of induced sputum.

He did it in basketball, now he's done it in baseball.
Sean Mathiowetz was recently named Player of the Year in the Tomahawk Conference. He was also chosen as an All-Conference selection, along with Jordan Anderson, Brandon Helget, Jon Kopacek and David Surprenant.
St. Mary's had the most amount of selections for the All-Conference team out of all of the Tomahawk teams. All five of them were unanimous picks. Mitch Neid received Honorable Mention All-Conference for the Knights.
Mathiowetz and Anderson also made the All-Section Baseball team for Class 1A.
Meanwhile, John Mangen and Matt Berkner made All-Conference selections for Sleepy Eye Public. Mangen was a unanimous pick. Matt Schroepfer made All-Conference Honorable Mention.
There were also three Sleepy Eye Public School baseball players who made the Tomahawk Conference All-Academic Team, which is given to sophomores, juniors and seniors on the varsity team with a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Both Mangen and Schroepfer were All-Academic selections, along with Sam Hirschboeck.
Congratulations to all of these players for their accomplishments this baseball season.

Grimm night for Cubs after Samardzija's stellar start
CHICAGO -- Jeff Samardzija struck out seven over nine innings, made the pitches when he needed, hit, scored a run, fielded his position, and lowered his ERA to 1.62. But it wasn't enough for the win.

CHICAGO -- Jeff Samardzija struck out seven over nine innings, made the pitches when he needed, hit, scored a run, fielded his position, and lowered his ERA to 1.62. But it wasn't enough for the win.
Marcus Semien smacked a tiebreaking RBI double with two outs in the 12th inning to lift the White Sox to a 3-1 Interleague victory Monday night at Wrigley Field over their crosstown rivals, the Cubs.View Full Game Coverage
With the game tied at 1 and two outs in the 12th against Justin Grimm, Alexei Ramirez singled to right and stole second. Tyler Flowers walked, and Semien lined a double down the left-field line. Pinch-hitter Paul Konerko was hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Grimm walked Alejandro De Aza to force in another run.
"I got behind people, not staying within myself, walking people -- it's going to catch up," Grimm said. "It catches up with you, one time or another. Pitch sequence may have been a little off to some guys, but other than that, you've got to get ahead and stay aggressive. When I'm not aggressive, I'm not at my best."
The story of the game was Samardzija. The right-hander threw a career-high 126 pitches, but his last was one of his best as he got Dayan Viciedo to hit into an inning-ending double play and strand a runner in the ninth in front of 33,146 chilled fans. This was the right-hander's seventh start, and sixth quality start. He's still looking for that first "W."
"I was pretty hungry for that one," Samardzija said.
The Cubs did everything they could. Manager Rick Renteria let Samardzija bat for himself in the eighth.
"What a great outing -- gritty, gutsy, everything you could ask for," Renteria said of the effort. "We wanted that game for him, but we couldn't pull it out."
Samardzija may be frustrated, but he hasn't shown it.
"You do your job," he said. "I'm just going out and doing my job and doing my part to win a ballgame. I can't control things on the outside. It's not my job. Every fifth day is my job and that's what I'm going to continue to do."
That's what he told Renteria in the clubhouse after the game.
"[Samardzija] said, 'Hey, every time. Every time I go out there, that's what I'm going to do,'" Renteria said. "He's doing what he's supposed to do as a Major League pitcher. He's giving us a great chance to win a ballgame. Today was a fantastic effort on his part."
The Cubs had a chance in the ninth. With one out against Ronald Belisario, Anthony Rizzo singled. Starlin Castro was called out on a close play at first base, which Renteria challenged. First baseman Adam Dunn appeared to be up in the air when he caught the ball but after a review, the call stood.
White Sox starter Jose Quintana retired the first 14 batters he faced before Nate Schierholtz walked with two outs in the fifth. Schierholtz stole second and Mike Olt walked, but Quintana got Darwin Barney to ground out to shortstop Alexei Ramirez to end the inning.
The closest the Cubs came to a hit over the first five innings was with two outs in the second. Schierholtz bunted toward third, but Semien made a barehanded grab and threw in time to first to end the inning.
Samardzija struck out the side in the White Sox sixth, then doubled to left to lead off the Cubs' half for the first hit off of Quintana. Samardzija advanced to third on a sacrifice by Emilio Bonifacio before scoring on Junior Lake's sacrifice fly to left.
"I just swing hard every time," Samardzija said of his at-bat. "If you see my [batting practice], there's no mental approach whatsoever. I just swung and got a piece of it. As a pitcher, you go up there and hope for the best."
Quintana was lifted after throwing 95 pitches over seven innings, and did not get a decision.
White Sox slugger Jose Abreu, named the American League Player and Rookie of the Month on Monday, added to his RBI total in the first. De Aza singled to lead off and reached third on Olt's throwing error. Olt fielded Gordon Beckham's grounder and tried to make an off-balance throw to second, but the ball deflected off Barney's glove and into center. De Aza then scored on Abreu's sacrifice fly for his 35th RBI.
Samardzija made the defensive play of the game when he snared Viciedo's high chopper over his shoulder with one out and one on in the fourth. The pitcher's throw to Rizzo was low, but the first baseman was charged with the error when he couldn't hold on to the ball.
"He made a great play -- I don't know how he did it," Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro said of Samardzija.
"I've seen that play a few times happen where it's a tough play for the shortstop and it's either barehand-or-nothing kind of thing," Samardzija said. "When it was in the air, I thought I might as well go for it and whatever happens, happens."
The last time he made an over the shoulder catch like that?
"Probably in the Sugar Bowl," he said, referring to his days as an All-American wide receiver at Notre Dame. "For a touchdown, of course."
This was the first of four games between the two Chicago teams, and first taste of the intracity rivalry for Renteria. He's heard from Cubs fans who have stressed the importance of beating the White Sox.
"I've seen Sox fans with their Sox hats and tried to bring them over to this side, but there are no takers," Renteria said. "I don't know if it goes both ways. It's pretty much split. Where they stand is where they stand."

The Little Rock Port Authority is set to receive a portion of the new 1-cent sales tax approved by city voters in September. LRPA Director Paul Latture says an additional $10 million will be spent during the next 10 years to add and develop 1,000 acres at the port starting in 2012.
Latture and other waterways experts also want to see deeper dredging on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System through Oklahoma and Arkansas — a $177 million project that would make barges capable of carrying 43 percent more cargo without using much more fuel.
A looming problem is the "three rivers area" in southeastern Arkansas where the Arkansas, Mississippi and White rivers converge. The water is threatening to escape its channels in places, and if it did, the Arkansas would become unnavigable. Authorities contend that without a $10 million-$30 million repair, a problem in the pool area could cost industry about $30 million a day every time the system is closed.
Arvest remains
market share
leader in Arkansas
New statistics from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. released Tuesday (Oct.4), highlighted market share changes as of June 30 for the state's top banks based on deposits.
Bentonville-based Arvest Bank's dominance in the Northwest Arkansas market again sets it up as the largest deposit market share in Arkansas with $5.578 billion in deposits, or 10.73 percent of the state's market share — up from 9.54 percent in 2010. BancorpSouth fell out of the top five, replaced in 2011 by Jonesboro-based Liberty Bank.
The top 5 banks by state market share of total deposits are:
—Arvest Bank: 10.73 percent, $5.578 billion in deposits
—Regions Bank: 8.15 percent, $4.238 billion
—Bank of America: 6.44 percent, $3.348 billion
—First Security Bank: 5.85 percent, $3.043 billion
—Liberty Bank: 3.86 percent, 2.005 billion
State revenues strong in September
Arkansas finance officials released tax collection figures that show a healthy uptick in September, the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year.
Year-to-date net available general revenues totaled $1.21 billion, $31.9 million or 2.7 percent above year ago levels. After three months into the fiscal year, net available revenues are $15.8 million, or 1.3 percent above forecast. Strong individual and income tax collections fueled the surge, but all eyes were on gross receipts as the state's first sales tax holiday numbers were recorded.
All three revenue categories saw healthy monthly improvements.
Health insurance exchange Summit set
The politically sensitive topic of health exchanges is the focus of an Oct. 11 event in Little Rock designed to share "viewpoints on the Exchange business model."
Joel Ario, former director of the Office of Health Insurance Exchanges, and Dr. Joseph Thompson, the Arkansas Surgeon General, will join Jay Bradford, Arkansas Insurance Commissioner, at the Arkansas Health Benefits Exchange Stakeholder Summit on Oct. 11 at the Embassy Suites in Little Rock, according to a statement from the Arkansas Insurance Department. The purpose, according to the AID, is to "discuss where a Health Exchange fits in Arkansas' health care improvement efforts."
Third quarter unkind to Arkansas-Based share prices
That clunk you may have heard was the sound of the weak national economy falling hard on the share prices of the 15 publicly held companies based in Arkansas. Of the 15 stocks, only four have prices higher than their Jan. 3 closing price. And the gainers saw small moves upward compared to the losses of the other 11 shares. Arkansas based companies involved in energy, trucking and information took the biggest share price hits during the third quarter.
El Dorado-based Murphy Oil has seen its share price decline by the largest percentage, 41.97 percent, since early January. Little Rock-based Dillard's continues to lead gainers with an impressive 11.97 percent increase in stock price since the first of the year.
Oklahoma firm ups its ownership in
Shale play
Panhandle Oil and Gas, an Oklahoma City-based holding company, says it has agreed to purchase interests in 193 non-operated natural gas wells and 1,531 acres of leasehold located in Van Buren, Conway and Cleburne counties for $17.5 million from a private seller.
The cash and credit transaction is projected to close on or about Oct. 25, 2011, with an effective date of Sept. 1. The properties are principally located in the core of the prolific Fayetteville Shale natural gas play and are primarily operated by the play's premiere operator, Southwestern Energy.
Cargill lays off 130 in Springdale
An estimated 130 workers at the Cargill turkey processing plant in Springdale were laid off Monday. A major recall of ground turkey has hurt production and sales contributing to the layoffs.
A Cargill spokesman said that the company tried to find alternative work for employees, but it could not be found at the Springdale plant. Employees could be called back if production resumes after the turkey recall is further evaluated.

1. P(X) means the probability of occurence of event X.
2. P(X|Y) means the probability of occurence of event X provided event Y has already happened
3. An means A with subscript n.
4. 'sum'is the summation function. ∑
Introduction to Baye's Theorem
Suppose for the occurence of an event A, n hypotheses are proposed like A1,A2,......,An. Now for 1≤k≤n,
P(Ak|A)= [P(Ak)*P(A|Ak)] / [∑ (i=1 to n) {P(Ai)*P(A|Ai)} ]
The probabilites P(Ai), i=1,2,.....,n are called a priori probabilities and are known before beginning the experiment. Note these are the probabilities of occurence of the hypotheses.
The probabilities P(A|Ai) are called likelihoods as they show how likely A is to occur given a priori probabilities.
The probabilites P(Ai|A) are called posteriori probabilities as they are obtained after the experiment.
The Mathematical Model
The objective is to send data from A to B through the available nodes on the network.
Now P(Ci|A) implies probability of data being received correctly by Ci provided A sends it and P(A|Ci) implies probability of A sending the data provided Ci acknowledges the transmission. The acknowledgment will depend upon the state of the machine at node Ci. For e.g. if it is engaged in another transmission or is performing a resource hogging task it may not acknowledge the transmission. So P(A|Ci) is to be found out in real time by the network software.
Now applying the Baye's Theorem to the segment of data flow from A to Ci,
P(Ci|A)= [P(Ci)*P(A|Ci)] / [∑ (i=1 to 4) {P(Ci)*P(A|Ci)} ]
Before the beginning of data flow, the prbability of all Ci receiving data is equal i.e. P(C1)=P(C2)=P(C3)=P(C4)=1/4
From this the probability of Ci receiving the data correctly will be known and the node with P(Ci|A)=1 will recieve the datagrams. If none of them provides with absolute prbability i.e. 1 then the data will not be sent, A will wait for a few minutes or try other nodes in the network.
In the same way data from Ci will be sent to Di and at last to B.
I tried my best to explain whatever came in my mind. It may also sound stupid. But please tell whatever you feel of this.

Video: Freelance foreign correspondent discusses reporting from Yemen and Libya
GRN, an agency for foreign correspondents, has posted a video interview with freelancer Portia Walker.
In the first in a series of interviews from GRN, Walker talks about her year covering the Arab spring in Yemen and Libya.
A former TV current affairs producer with Al Jazeera English, Walker explains how she moved to Yemen just before the Arab spring began.
She speaks about the "baptism of fire" in reporting from Yemen for the Daily and Sunday Telegraph, Washington Post and the Economist as well as GRN's TV and radio clients.
Expecting to spend time in Libya researching features, she found she was spending her time "daily news reporting" which "did not go down well at some times with the authorities" and led to her arrest a gun point.

China company defaults and it seems to be hurting the copper market more than oil. Maybe because it was a Chinese solar company that missed its bond payment! How is that "jobs of the 21st century" thing going for you?
Well today we will get a look at U.S. jobs numbers that already the trade is downplaying because of old man winter. The market is looking for 150,000 jobs to 6.6% (came out 175K and 6.7%). Still underneath the numbers there seems to be weakness that transcends the weather and oil demand seems to be weakening. Part of that may be seasonal but the products look weak. Demand expectations are being challenged by weak us data, uncertainty in China and Japan's nuclear restarts that will help cut gas and oil consumption.
Yet on the other hand, who wants to be short over the weekend with the Ukraine on the brink. Oops don't forget about Venezuela! Protest there as well. The battle between risk premiums vs. questionable demand for oil continues to divide the bulls and the bears.
Oil prices(NYMEX:CLJ14) seem to be slipping in a risk on trade as Brent started to build its premium against WTI. President Obama and President Putin spoke for an hour and it seems that nothing really changed. Putin says they are still divided. While the Crimean local parliament (which was suspiciously newly elected during this crisis) votes unanimously to become part of the Russian Federation the potential for this turning ugly remains.
CNN reports that Venezuela's President severed diplomatic relations with Panama, accusing the Central American nation of being a "lackey" for the United States in a conspiracy plot against his government. "There are maneuvers by the U.S. government plotting with a lackey government that has a right-wing president who is leaving in the next few months, who is not worthy of his people, who has been working actively against Venezuela," President Nicolas Maduro said in televised remarks earlier this week.
He accused Panama of pushing for regional organizations to intervene in Venezuela. As a result, Maduro said he was cutting off diplomatic and political ties and freezing trade relations with Panama's current government "in defense of the homeland's sovereignty."
The Euro currency(CME:ECM14) is on fire as the ECB stand firm keeping it refi rate steady. That is leading to dollar weakness and adding support across the commodity complex. Soybeans(CBOT:Sk14) wheat(CBOT:Wk14) and corn(CBOT:Ck14) are rallying on weather and short covering before USDA as well as concerns about Ukraine, the biggest wheat exporter and the third-largest exporter of corn. The risks in the Ukraine increase the demand for U.S. grain. Market players looked ahead to the USDA's weekly export report later in the session to gauge the strength of global demand for U.S. supplies. The Australian dollar is going wild on strong economic data and strong coal exports.

Bronze plans were also more popular in Colorado than in other states in 2014 and 2015, but 2016 is the first year that bronze plan selections have outnumbered silver in Colorado.
61 percent of QHP enrollees in 2016 are receiving subsidies that average $294 per month. The number of people receiving subsidies has increased by 35 percent over 2015 (more than 103,000 in 2016, versus more than 76,000 in 2015). Subsidies are available to more enrollees in 2016 because total QHP enrollment has increased, but also because average premiums are higher in 2016, so subsidies are necessary for more enrollees in order to keep the price of the benchmark plan at the percentage of income deemed affordable by the ACA .
In late 2015, many of the nation's health insurance carriers began reducing or eliminating broker commissions, mostly for plans sold outside of open enrollment (during
Angara Solitaire Round Blue Sapphire Promise Ring in Platinum DQR26hpS55
) or for benefit-rich plans at the gold and/or platinum level.
The general consensus was that the commission cuts were an effort by health insurance carriers to limit sales in general, or to limit sales of benefit-rich plans, which tend to be more popular among enrollees who have health conditions, and are more expensive to insure. In 2014 and 2015, eligibility for special enrollment periods was very loosely enforced by Healthcare.gov and some of the state-run exchanges, and carriers noted that healthcare utilization tended to be higher for people who enrolled outside of open enrollment.
In December 2015, Colorado's Department of Insurance issued
Blue Nile Engravable Diamond Locket in Sterling Silver 30 HP98Uc
(B-4.87) stating that carriers cannot offer "differing commission structures," which they defined as different commission levels for different Lagos Diamond Caviar DREAM Pendant Necklace CyZPo
, different commission structures for plans sold during open enrollment versus outside of open enrollment, or "not paying commissions on certain plans offered in the State of Colorado." The Department of Insurance warned carriers that none of those actions are allowed, and that carriers that utilize differing commission structures would risk "enforcement actions to remedy those violations."
The purpose of the state's regulatory bulletin was to protect consumers' access to the full range of plans available, regardless of whether the consumer is enrolling during open enrollment or as a result of a qualifying event, and regardless of what metal level plan the consumer needs.
Bulletin B-4.87 is still in effect, but some insurers in Colorado have simply switched to a model under which they pay no commissions at all for new enrollments. There's no "differing commission structure" so the lack of commissions doesn't run afoul of the regulation. But it does result in fewer brokers being willing to assist people with individual market coverage (commissions are still paid by all insurers for group health insurance plans).

Some fans have long speculated that Tariq may actually be Kanan's child, point to similarities between the two and a creepy moment in season two when Kanan tells Tasha that he used to think about her while in jail.

So, what you saying? Tasha wanted Ghost to kill Kanan because she knows that Kanan is Tariq's real father?

I really think Tariq is Kanans. Looks more like him, his whole energy reflects Kanan. When he first met him he just latched onto him with ease. More chemistry there than with Ghost.

CRESTVIEW � Area schools have a free resource in town to incorporate hands-on research to accompany earth and environmental science classes.
CRESTVIEW � Area schools have a free resource in town to incorporate hands-on research to accompany earth and environmental science classes.
The John McMahon Environmental Center, a Crestview park, is the region�s oldest native tree collection, the center's namesake, retired forester John McMahon, said.
The park has more than 100 native plants tagged for easy identification, a museum covering regional history, industries and wildlife, two fishponds and a covered outdoor picnic and program pavilion.
"Teachers can use the center as a hands-on aid to tie in with textbook materials," McMahon said.
In May, Antioch Elementary School fourth-graders incorporated science, social studies and language arts into a visit to the McMahon Center.
Classes from nearby Northwood Elementary School also make regular forays to the park. Area daycare centers take groups of youngsters to picnics and wander beneath the many varieties of trees.
McMahon frequently acts as a volunteer guide around the park and museum. Florida Forest Service Senior Forester Maria Wilson is a regular lecturer at the center.
An annual Earth Day program hosted by the Crestview Public Library's youth program draws more than 30 children and parents to the center each April.
"The children are just amazed by everything there � even the smallest things," youth librarian Heather Nitzel said. "Mr. McMahon does such a great job, especially with the little guys.
"At the museum, everything is at their level where they can see and touch. At that age, touching is very important. It's very kid-friendly."
The park is open daily. The museum is open by appointment. There is no charge to visit either facility.
"It's a really peaceful place," Nitzel said. "Even for an adult, it'd be just a peaceful place just to slip in there and have lunch."
Want to go?
What: City of Crestview John McMahon Environmental Center
When: Weekdays, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.; museum visits by appointment
Where: Butler Circle, beneath the fire tower opposite Live Oak Park Cemetery
Call the Public Works Parks and Recreation division to arrange group visits, guided tours by retired forester John McMahon, museum visits or group use of the picnic/program pavilion, 682-4715 or 682-6132, ext. 123. Park usage and tours are free.

Consolidation therapy for ovarian cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My sister-in-law has stage 3c ovarian cancer. She has had surgical debulking and is now undergoing 6 carbo/taxol cycles. Do you have an opinion on consolidation therapy? I know it's controversial but could you address it for the rest of us?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
You are right that consolidation therapy (or additional treatment after a complete remission is achieved) is very controversial for patients with ovarian cancer. Currently, there is no standard accepted therapy. Many different regimens have been investigated. Some examples include intraperitoneal radioactive phosphorous (P32), whole abdominal radiotherapy, intraperitoneal cisplatin and etoposide, and intraperitoneal mitoxantrone. A recent large, phase III clinical trial reported preliminary results following treatment with either 3 or 12 months of Taxol chemotherapy. On average, patients in the 12 month treatment group appeared to have a longer interval before disease recurred by 7 months, compared to the patients treated in the 3 month group. These results are only preliminary, and are very controversial as well, since the study investigators stopped the trial before data regarding overall survival could be collected. Also, the additional side effects of 12 months of treatment are concerning (several patients in the 12 month treatment group chose to discontinue therapy because of side effects). Because of the controversy, patients at our institution are not routinely counseled to undergo consolidation therapy outside of the confines of a clinical trial. We will soon begin a clinical trial to study an anti-tumor vaccination as a possible consolidation therapy for ovarian cancer.

Hey Ladies!
I've been absent but now I'm back.
Everything is going well, but lately Hunter (my daughter) wont take my right breast unless I kinda trick her - she's hungry and will always take the left when offered but if I offer her the right she pulls away crying so I have to do football hold or lay her down and then she takes it.
Does anyone know what's causing this?
It makes for an incredibly fussy time and I dont' know if i should just hold off until a little bit later and try again so she takes it without being tricked or if these are just the ways she prefers on the right breast - which makes it difficult feeding in public - but that's ok.
Maybe it's a phase - it normally coincides with a new fussy time between 11am and 1pm x
Almost three months!

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Four new State Board of Education members took their seats.
A reception was held for them Tuesday morning before their first meeting.
Republicans Kathy Busch, Jim McNiece, Deena Horst and Steve Roberts are the newcomers, while Democrat Carolyn Campbell of Topeka took the oath for her second term.
Members selected Jana Shaver as board chairperson.
Like lawmakers, board members disagree whether schools get enough money. A district court ruled Friday that current funding allotted by lawmakers didn't meet constitutional requirements.
Campbell says she agrees with the ruling, noting that many districts have had to cut after school, tutoring and other programs due to lack of funding. Roberts isn't as convinced, saying someone will complain no matter what is done. He says he believes fixing some flaws will result in more money for everyone.
Approving new history and science standards are also important business items for the board in the upcoming year.

Brad Keselowski's ascent to the Sprint Cup title was improbable, inspiring
However you want to word it, this wasn't supposed to happen by conventional standards.
Brad Keselowski, the upstart young driver from Rochester Hills, Michigan, was not supposed to be a Sprint Cup champion by now.
Not at his young age of 28.
Not in just his third full year in the series.
Not after he left powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports for a less-successful Penske Racing team.
His main competitor this year, Jimmie Johnson, was the veteran, common logic said, and would outlast the kid. He had the experience to fall back on. He would handle the pressure better than Keselowski.
The kid was maybe a future champ, but this year was too soon for him to seal the deal against so many veterans in the Chase, some folks in this sport were saying.
Well, Brad Keselowski proved everybody wrong in 2012.
And while most of us on the outside may be surprised, I can assure you that Brad is not.
If you've ever watched him race at any level, it's obvious that Brad has never known the word quit.
He grew up around NASCAR, with his father Bob and uncle Ron racing whenever they could. Racing was part of his life since he was in diapers. It was in his blood. His father Bob won an ARCA title in 1989 as well as a Truck series race in 1997.
The Keselowski family ran a truck series team on a shoestring budget, betting every dime they had on the possibility on the racing ability of their sons Brad and Brian, who both can handle a racecar very well.
Eventually Brad got a three-race tryout from Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Nationwide team, Jr. Motorsports, and made the most of it, leading to a full-time ride with Jr.'s team.
Before he even got a full-time Cup ride, Brad won infamously at Talladega in the Cup series while driving for the low-budget James Finch team, sending Carl Edwards flying nearly into the stand in the last turn when Edwards drove in front of him and blocked. Between that incident and his many on-track skirmishes with guys like Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, he got some nicknames; "Bad Brad", "Brad the Brat", etc.
But behind all the trash being talked about him, it was clear that Brad was a hell of a racer, and destined to be a champion.
Many thought his future would be at Hendrick Motorsports, but there was no room for him full-time in Cup. When he announced he was going to Penske's team, which had never won a Cup title, there was doubt he could compete as well as he would have with Hendrick.
First he won a Nationwide Series title for Penske, then on the Cup side, after some initial struggles, he quickly showed that his #2 Miller Lite car (which was most famously driven by Rusty Wallace in the past) was ridiculously fast, in part due to the how the car was built, but mostly because of the driver.
Whether it was head-to-head racing or fuel mileage races, Brad has shown throughout his career that he has what it takes to win in this sport -- both races and championships. He has already racked up 9 Cup wins in his short career, not an easy feat in this competitive era.
There have been many competitors along the way who have wanted to dismiss him as a flash in the pan or a bully on the racetrack. Denny Hamlin once famously said that Brad would never make it in this sport driving the way he does. Just last week Tony Stewart said Brad drives like he has a death wish.
But that's all been tossed away with this championship. He is now the top driver in the top series of NASCAR, and no amount of words can take that away, regardless of who says them.
It's a pretty inspiring thing to see a guy who started out more than a decade ago in Michigan, driving at tracks around Michigan including the local Waterford HIlls track, ascend to this level of the sport. It goes to show that if you have the talent, you can make it if you catch the right breaks and use that talent to its fullest potential. All those guys at local tracks around the country have probably boosted their goals a little bit tonight after seeing Brad has accomplished.
It's a great day for Dodge, who gets to leave the sport celebrating a title, which almost nobody thought would happen. Hopefully they can come back one day and compete again.
It's a great day for Roger Penske, who had won just about everything possible in motorsports except a NASCAR Cup title, despite having great drivers like Rusty in the past. He took a chance on Brad, and it paid off big time. You can't help but feel good for the guy, who has done so much for motorsports and the city of Detroit as a whole.
It's a great day for the Keselowski family, which has been in racing for decades and now can celebrate a Cup title. Their tears after the race were about as sincere as they come. They are just as much a part of this as Brad. "I'm so unbelievably proud of my son, I can't even begin to tell you" Kay said after the title had been decided.
Bob and Kay Keselowski are the perfect example of how much some parents are willing to risk to help their children's dreams come true, as happens so often in motorsports. Brad Keselowski would not be raising this Cup if his parents hadn't put their heart, soul and full dedication -- financial and otherwise -- into his career.
And of course It's a great day for Brad Keselowski.
He is now enshrined among the best drivers in NASCAR's history. And the best news for him is that's he's still very young. At 28, he could race another 15 to 20 years. That' s plenty of time rack up more titles and continue his ascent in the sport.
Congratulations, Brad. You earned it. You beat the best and proved everyone wrong, and proved that a young man from Oakland County, Michigan, can do whatever he wants to do, no matter how many doubters along the way tried to tell you you couldn't.
"This guy Keselowski is something special," Roger Penske said after the race.
I think that about sums it up.

We have owned a Nespresso Coffee maker for a few years now. I bought it as a Christmas gift for the 'old man'. Since he works at home, when he is home, I thought he'd enjoy coming downstairs for a quick coffee. We've been pleased and have just learned to warm our cup in advance before making the coffee. I didn't buy the most expensive model, which could be the problem!
I can't say enough about Nespresso's on-line ordering service either. I was on-line yesterday afternoon about 3:00 and I had my capsules in the mailbox by 10:00 this morning. WOW, that is service!
They introduced the Aeroccino last year, I watched the demo and was sold! This little gadget is so cool.....I tried to order one in 110v for my mom in the 'states' and they hadn't tackled the US market yet. I just saw on Amazon that they are making them and promptly shipped one off to mom! She is going to love the thick, frothy milk that it makes! This stuff stands up like whipped cream in your cup and will make any Barista jealous!

Photos and Quotes From Jessica Simpson in Marie Claire 2010-04-07 09:15:00
See Jessica Simpson's No Makeup, No Airbrushing Marie Claire Cover
Jessica Simpson went without makeup or photo retouching for the May cover of Marie Claire. She's all about being natural after traveling the world for The Price of Beauty, and Jess is also using her newfound knowledge to help others — she's launching a new program called "A Beautiful Me," which is designed to help other women learn to love themselves. Jessica even serves as a guest beauty editor in the magazine's issue, and she joined Ken Paves to dole out a little advice. She touched on her own hair preferences and washing schedule, which is about as lax as her tooth-brushing regimen. Jessica said:
- On her newfound confidence: "I don't have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business."
- On her preferred hairstyles: "If I'm in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back. But I also like bed head."
- On her hair regimen: "I'll usually wash my hair and let it air-dry wavy, but if I'm just in a hang-out mood, I won't even wash it. I'll wait until it smells."

Contesting the Role of Media in Fragile and Conflict Afflicted States
Just last week, there was an international outcry over Burundi's approval of a new media law that forbids reporting on matters that could "undermine national security, public order or the economy." A number of organizations like Reporters Without Borders and Human Rights Watch have condemned the new law as an assault on press freedom. According to the BBC, party officials in Burundi believe the law will prevent journalists from inciting ethnic hatred and endangering national unity. A number of media advocates have argued that this legislation has regressed important progress in the country's reconciliation process. Burundi, a country struggling to restore peace after more than a decade of civil war, faces a challenging process of establishing citizen state relations. As noted in a report by Henriette von Katenborn-Sachau, in 2005, Burundi's private media played a significant role in facilitating public trust and building support for the acceptance of the Arusha Accords.

333 E. Benton Place. 773-234-3449
Rating: !!! (out of 4)
Sometimes a great burger can be hard to find. In the case of recently opened Eggy's, it is actually the restaurant itself that can be tricky to locate. This new diner is located in the Lakeshore East complex hidden away just north of Millennium Park, which one can find by following these simple instructions: Walk east on Randolph Street past the Aon Center, veer left at the sign for Village Market, descend to the lower level at the end of the plaza and then walk out onto the sidewalk to find Eggy's. To award you upon arrival, the menu features two burgers: A classic hamburger ($9.50) as well as the Eggy's burger ($14.50), an double cheeseburger dressed with diner staples such as pastrami and a fried egg.
The burger: Eggy's cooks its peppery patties to medium-well, but they remained plenty juicy enough for my taste. I do appreciate the fine craft of a hand-packed patty, but more attention could be paid to the uneven shape. After all, there is nothing more disappointing than one's last few bites being all bun and no beef. This issue is compounded in the case of the Eggy's burger, as two irregularly shaped patties do not make a sound stack.
The bun: A classic egg bun is just thick enough to support the basic burger, but on the bigger Eggy's burger, the bottom bun is crushed into submission.
The fixings: On the classic hamburger, I was delighted to find especially thin wisps of sliced onion and discs of sweet heirloom tomato. A generous smear of mayonnaise-based, relish-dotted Eggy sauce negates the need for ketchup or mustard, or even cheese, for that matter. The Eggy's burger, on the other hand, is no question indulgent but suffers from insurmountable structural issues. Besides the before mentioned uneven patty problem, a wad of pastrami and fried egg make grasping this behemoth a slippery endeavor. I had no choice but to cast aside the shredded lettuce, tomato and onion on the top in an attempt to keep it all together.
Everything else: For a side dish, one has the choice of a side salad (I never), chips (warm from the fryer) or, for $1 more, a tin cup of crispy hand-cut fries (worth the upcharge for fry fans). Soda fountain classics such as milkshakes and ice cream floats ($5.50) make proper sidekicks. There are few establishments these days serving the classic egg cream ($3.50), and though the anomaly that this creamy seltzer drink is made with neither egg nor cream has plagued me eternally, I cannot deny that the maple version provides a pleasantly sweet counterpoint to the salty burger.
The bottom line: The signature Eggy's burger could benefit from some tinkering, but there is little to improve upon when it comes to the simple hamburger.

act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and rules(Redirected from Communicate)
Communication (from Latin "communis", meaning to share) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior.
- The concept of communication includes all of those processes by which people influence one another. ... This definition is based on the premise that all actions and events have communicative aspects, as soon as they are perceived by a human being; it implies, furthermore, that such perception changes the information which an individual processes and therefor influences him.
- Gregory Bateson (1951) Communication: The Social Matrix of Psychiatry
- Human verbal communication can operate and always does operate at many contrasting levels of abstraction.
- Gregory Bateson (1955) "A theory of play and fantasy". in: Psychiatric research reports, 1955. pp. 177-178
- Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners.
- Benjamin Banneker As quoted in Friends' Intelligencer Vol. XI (1854), p. 821
- The general rule of law is, that the noblest of human productions — knowledge, truths ascertained, conceptions and ideas — become, after voluntary communication to others, free as the air to common use.
- Louis Brandeis, (1918) International News Service v. Associated Press. An United States Supreme Court decision
- No doubt, it is a very easy matter for them, in presence of an ignorant and credulous multitude, to insult over an undefended cause; but were an opportunity of mutual discussion afforded, that acrimony which they now pour out upon us in frothy torrents, with as much license as impunity, would assuredly boil dry.
- The Internet is a communication medium that allows for the first time, the communication of many to many, in chosen time, on a global scale.
- Manuel Castells (2001) The Internet Galaxy - Reflections on the Internet, Business, and Society Opening, The Network is the Message, p. 2
- The dictionary definition of communication [...] includes the communication of goods and supplies. [...] But transport of goods is not communication in the sense we are adopting here, and does not raise the same subtle and difficult questions. What "goods" do we exchange when we send messages to one another?
- Colin Cherry (1957)On Human Communication. p. 9
- The theory of communication is partly concerned with the measurement of information content of signals, as their essential property in the establishment of communication links. But the information content of signals is not to be regarded as a commodity; it is more a property or potential of the signals, and as a concept it is closely related to the idea of selection, or discrimination. This mathematical theory first arose in telegraphy and telephony, being developed for the purpose of measuring the information content of telecommunication signals. It concerned only the signals themselves as transmitted along wires, or broadcast through the aether, and is quite abstracted from all questions of "meaning." Nor does it concern the importance, the value, or truth to any particular person. As a theory, it lies at the syntactic level of sign theory and is abstracted from the semantic and pragmatic levels. We shall argue … that, though the theory does not directly involve biological elements, it is nevertheless quite basic to the study of human communication — basic but insufficient.
- Colin Cherry (1957)On Human Communication. p. 10
- The harm which is done by credulity in a man is not confined to the fostering of a credulous character in others, and consequent support of false beliefs. Habitual want of care about what I believe leads to habitual want of care in others about the truth of what is told to me. Men speak the truth of one another when each reveres the truth in his own mind and in the other's mind; but how shall my friend revere the truth in my mind when I myself am careless about it, when I believe things because I want to believe them, and because they are comforting and pleasant? Will he not learn to cry, "Peace," to me, when there is no peace? By such a course I shall surround myself with a thick atmosphere of falsehood and fraud, and in that I must live. It may matter little to me, in my cloud-castle of sweet illusions and darling lies; but it matters much to Man that I have made my neighbours ready to deceive. The credulous man is father to the liar and the cheat
- An undesirable society, in other words, is one which internally and externally sets up barriers to free intercourse and communication of experience.
- John Dewey (1916) Democracy and Education
- Early states had a hereditary leader with a title equivalent to king, like a super paramount chief and exercising an even greater monopoly of information, decision making, and power. Even in democracies today, crucial knowledge is available to only a few individuals, who control the flow of information to the rest of the government and consequently control decisions. For instance, in the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963, information and discussions that determined whether nuclear war would engulf half a billion people were initially confined by President Kennedy to a ten-member executive committee of the National Security Council that he himself appointed; then he limited final decisions to a four-member group consisting of himself and three of his cabinet ministers.

- The power of communication of thoughts and opinions is the gift of God, and the freedom of it is the source of all science, the first fruits and the ultimate happiness of society; and therefore it seems to follow, that human laws ought not to interpose, nay, cannot interpose, to prevent the communication of sentiments and opinions in voluntary assemblies of men.

- They communicate, but their communication system is though touch, posture, looks – body language you could call it, but it goes a bit deeper than that. They can learn 400 or more signs in American sign language.
- Jane Goodall Wanderlust #6 (2009) [1]
- The full impact of printing did not become possible until the adoption of the Bill of Rights in the United States with its guarantee of freedom of the press. A guarantee of freedom of the press in print was intended to further sanctify the printed word and to provide a rigid bulwark for the shelter of vested interests.
- Harold Innis, "Industrialism and Cultural Values", in The Bias of Communication (1951), p. 138.
- The priceless heritage of our society is the unrestricted constitutional right of each member to think as he will. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we have no claim to it. It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. We could justify any censorship only when the censors are better shielded against error than the censored.
- Robert H. Jackson, American Communications Association v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382, 442-43 (1950).
- When language is used without true significance, it loses its purpose as a means of communication and becomes an end in itself.
- Karl Jaspers (1933) 'Man in the Modern Age. p. 128

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.

More than 600 people gathered at Indian Meadows Country Club last night to celebrate the life of a 19-year-old who touched the lives of many with her smile and warmth, and whose legacy will live on through a fund set up for other intrepid explorers like her.
The Westborough Athletic and Social Association sponsored the Night in Remembrance of Lizzi Marriott fundraiser. The event benefited The Lizzi Marriott Intrepid Explorer Fund. Lizzi was a 19-year-old college student studying marine sciences at the University of New Hampshire when she was murdered on Oct. 9.
Her father, Robert Marriott, said his daughter's tremendous passion for the ocean and marine life inspired the creation of the fund. Lizzi volunteered many hours at the New England Aquarium while in high school and college. The fund, he said, was established to help keep her passion alive by offering scholarships to Westboro High School graduates, UNH marine science students and volunteers at the aquarium.
Last night's event — the first since the fund was created — was also part of the healing process for the family, Mr. Marriott said.
"We set up the fund to help people follow in Lizzi's footsteps," her father said. "We're melancholy about it, but we're also excited about the opportunity to have a successful event to benefit the fund. It is another step in an emotional journey. It is hard and difficult to miss her the way we do."
Working on setting up the fund and organizing the fundraiser have helped fill the time when he is not working and busy with other things.
"For me, I especially need something to do," he said. "This has kept me going."
For the past 15 years, Mr. Marriott has been a member of WASA and has helped plan events for those in need in the community.
There was an overwhelming response to last night's event, Mr. Marriott said, and tickets sales surpassed the initial $30,000 to $50,000 estimates.
This is one the biggest indoor events WASA has ever done, he said.
"We hope to help many other teenagers become prominent figures who will protect our oceans," Mr. Marriott told people at the event during a brief speech. "Most of all, I want you to have fun. That is what I want you to remember."
Jonathan R. Pennock, director of the marine program at UNH and professor of oceanography, also spoke.
"The university community still has a heavy heart since October," Mr. Pennock said. "As I look out to (my) class with less than 20 students, I remind myself not to buy into the stereotypes of young people today… I look out and see incredibly deep passion in these students like Lizzi. Some have it figured out like Lizzi did and will become leaders."
Eric C. Perryman, an English teacher at Westboro High School, said an issue for many students who knew Lizzi is that the event was 21-plus.
"I knew Lizzi very, very well," said Mr. Perryman, who helped with her essay for UNH. "All the students on Friday were complaining the event was 21 and over. If it had not been, there would have been 1,000 times more people here. For me, there is nothing I can think of to attribute to her memory more than a giant room of happy people. I have taught 1,000 students in 14 years, and some strike you as truly wonderful people and that is what she was like."
Robert M. Gendron, WASA member and past president, said the organization of 50 — the oldest chartered organization in Westboro — is a tight-knit community.
"One of the reasons we took this on is because Bob is a member," Mr. Gendron said. "This situation hit home to many of us. A lot of us have college kids as well and it hit home like it was one of our own. After Lizzi was declared dead, we held an emergency meeting a few days later and asked, 'What can we do?'"
"Many of us have been there from the day she was first missing. Tonight is a celebration of her life and the trust fund was established to keep her dream alive."

George, Cindy Anthony 'looking into' lawsuit over garage sale video, attorney says
George, Cindy Anthony 'looking into' lawsuit over garage sale video, attorney says
MOUNT DORA, Fla. —
A lawyer representing George and Cindy Anthony said they are looking into filing a lawsuit against a woman who videotaped them at a garage sale at their Mount Dora home.
Christina Werner told RadarOnline.com that Caylee Anthony's toys and clothes were being sold at the garage sale by her grandparents.
The Anthony's attorney, Mark Lippman, said Werner was paid $600 for the video.
It is against the law in Florida to record audio of someone without their knowledge.
Werner told RadarOnline that she bought several items, including purses belonging to Casey Anthony, a children's travel set and teddy bears at the sale on June 28.

Rhythm Mission to Lead World in Potsdam Festival
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/rhythm.jpg]
An evening of worldly instruments and music is the basis for this year's main spectacle at the World in Potsdam Diversity Festival.
"The Rhythm Mission" concert, a mix of multi-cultural music, promises to take audience members on a musical journey to Brazil, the Caribbean, Africa, the United States, and points beyond, delighting listeners young and old.
The concert will take place on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m. at Clarkson University's Downtown Snell Hall Auditorium. There will also be a chance to see a shorter presentation during the World in Potsdam Festival. The 15th annual festival will take place on the same day from noon to 4:30 p.m. at Clarkson University's Cheel Campus Center.
The Rhythm Mission duo, Steve Leicach and Tony Vacca, have been delighting audiences across the globe with their dynamic, inspired, and virtuistic percussion and world music performances for over 20 years.
Their sound is both ancient and contemporary, drawing from the profound and earthy village traditions of African and Afro-Caribbean drumming and percussion music, to the urban sound of the modern day drum set and contemporary spoken word.
Leicach is a master drummer, composer, and educator who has been drumming for over 37 years. He has studied and performed in Africa and the United States and is an expert in Ghanaian drumming, African and Afro-Caribbean hand drumming technique, drum improvisation, percussion theory, and traditional instrument making. He's highly accomplished on a wide range of many ethnic instruments including congas, djembe, balafon, shekere, and talking drums.
Vacca is a musician, composer, and educator who has worked with some of the most popular musicians in the world, such as Sting. His music reflects the many sources of rhythm in America, and the worldwide confluence of percussion traditions that has fueled the rediscovery of the power of the drum. Vacca's trips to West Africa have resulted in his unique approach to playing the balafon and his depth of knowledge regarding the common ground between African and American traditions.
The World in Potsdam Diversity Festival not only highlights the world's cultures and peoples, but it also brings members of the Potsdam community together to celebrate the town's unique and diverse cultural heritage.
The World in Potsdam Diversity Festival is sponsored by Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam and the Village of Potsdam.

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 5 (UPI) -- Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk joked at a shareholders meeting that competitor Ford Motor Co. is killing sex.
He wasn't speaking about the act of lovemaking, but rather trademark patents on the company's next vehicle. Tesla already has Model S, which they are selling at rates faster than production, and Model X, an SUV crossover that's in development. The third model was going to be Model E, making it Models S.E.X.
Unfortunately, Ford ruined the punchline of the joke. They already have trademarks filed for the Model E dating back to 2000. Tesla tried to file for the trademark, but quit when Ford called and threatened to sue.
"In response to a request from Tesla for Ford's assistance with a trademark issue, Ford and Tesla entered into a contract in 2010 in which, among other things, Tesla agreed not to register or use Model E. When Tesla later sought to register the Model E trademark, Ford insisted that Tesla abide by the parties' earlier agreement. The matter has been resolved amicably," said a Ford spokesperson.
All good jokes must come to an end. Musk also told investors that he will remain CEO of Tesla for four to five more years, which will see him through the production of the third model.
"Nobody is CEO of a company forever -- eventually they carry you out," he said.
Musk is also founder and CEO of the rocket company SpaceX.
