First, you need to measure your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips. Measure shoulder to shoulder, around the fullest part of your breasts (don't squish!), and just above the belly button for the waist. Then, wrap the measuring tape around the biggest part of your butt, starting from just below the hip bone. Record these measurements because they'll help you determine your body shape! Compare your beautiful results with the list of body shapes below:
Don't buy anything that clings to your stomach. Opt for those fabrics and designs that have a draping effect around the tummy. Try A-line, straight cut, and empire waist dresses since they highlight the thinnest part of the top body. You can also layer with a long cardigan. Just stay away from bold patterns and try dark colors since they have a downplaying effect.
Now that you know what dresses will flatter your beautiful body, it's time to get shopping! Remember, there's so much value in dressing for your unique shape. Embrace your body and get clothes that make you comfortable and confident. They're there to work for you, not against you.
Here's how you should buy plus size dresses:
Focus on the fit. If you don't feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable don't get it or return it!

Several of Shakespeare plays include masques – essentially a form of courtly entertainment containing music, dancing, singing and acting out a story. If you have ever been to the theatre on Broadway or a London West End theatre to see a musical, particularly one with elaborate sets and story telling, then you have seen something very much like an Elizabethan masque. It was popular in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth century – although it originated in Italy.
The performance of a masque traditionally took place on festive occasions, usually at the royal court. The theatre company producing it would hire professional singers and musicians and the monarch and the courtiers would join in the dancing. It was an opportunity to praise the monarch, a celebration of his presence and of his authority.
A number of Shakespeare plays contain a masque somewhere in the action, where the characters have a party where there is music and dancing. Romeo and Juliet is an example of that. In A Midsummer Night's Dream there is a masque celebrating the marriage of the Duke and the Amazon Queen. There is also a masque in Henry VIII.
The Tempest not only has a masque with gods and goddesses dancing in a performance for a prince and princess but the whole play can be seen as a masque, with much of the story told in music and song. As usual with Shakespeare, who never takes anything at face value, he subverts the masque. The masque is a celebration of authority whereas The Tempest is a play about the vulnerability of authority. Nevertheless, it is a brilliant masque with all its beautiful songs and constant music and its lush island setting.
Shakespeare's plays generally accepted as including masques:

Prospect Renfroe providing pop in tough ballpark
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. -- In a league known for being a hitter's haven, the home field of the Lake Elsinore Storm -- the Class A Advanced affiliate of the San Diego Padres in the California League -- stands in defiance.
With the distance from home plate to the deepest part of the field in left-center spanning 425 feet, a 380-foot mark directly behind the usual positioning of the left fielder and a miniature Green Monster towering over right field, The Diamond can prove to be a nightmare for right-handed sluggers.
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. -- In a league known for being a hitter's haven, the home field of the Lake Elsinore Storm -- the Class A Advanced affiliate of the San Diego Padres in the California League -- stands in defiance.
With the distance from home plate to the deepest part of the field in left-center spanning 425 feet, a 380-foot mark directly behind the usual positioning of the left fielder and a miniature Green Monster towering over right field, The Diamond can prove to be a nightmare for right-handed sluggers.
"It's not a hitters' ballpark, per se," said Lake Elsinore right fielder Hunter Renfroe in his Southern drawl.
"It's probably taken away a few home runs from me already."
It's hard to imagine, then, what the Mississippi native's power numbers would look like if he called one of the California League's numerous bandboxes home. The Storm's cleanup hitter, who was the Padres' first-round pick (No. 13 overall) in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, entered Monday tied for the California League lead in home runs (15), second in total bases (142) and tied for fourth in RBIs (50).
"I've always been really strong and been able to hit balls out of the ballpark," Renfroe said. "But I'm really not trying to hit too many home runs. I try to hit doubles and get as many RBIs as possible. … It just happens sometimes."
This is not news to baseball scouts. Prior to the season, MLB.com ranked Renfroe as the Padres' No. 5 prospect and second-best position prospect, mostly based on the merit of his power and his strong arm in right field.
Chances are good Renfroe won't be in Lake Elsinore much longer, as a promotion this month to Double-A San Antonio appears in the cards.
"I think he's definitely gonna play in the big leagues for a long time," said Lake Elsinore hitting coach Jody Davis, a former big league catcher. "San Diego needs the offense, they're not scoring a lot of runs. And he can definitely produce runs."
Though Renfroe was expected to develop into a plus hitter while in the Minors, some thought he might have to overcome a learning curve at Class A Advanced ball after batting just .212 with two home runs in 18 games for Class A Fort Wayne after getting promoted late last year. That largely hasn't proven to be the case, as Renfroe has worked with Davis to develop a more mature approach at the plate.
"I've really just been trying to focus on plate discipline a lot -- making sure I'm not swinging at pitches in the dirt and out of the strike zone," Renfroe said. "Jody and I have been working really hard on trying to focus on the middle of the field, opposite field, just like I was in college. And then the power will come."
To be sure, rooting that mindset in Renfroe is still a work in progress. He has a strikeout rate of 26.1 percent and still occasionally reverts to dead-pull habits.
"He's still got some maturing to do. The pitching is going be better and more consistent at every level," Davis said. "He wants to hit the ball 550 feet sometimes instead of 400 feet. And 400 feet is enough."
In a May 29 home game against Lancaster between the two teams that were tied atop the South Division, Renfroe yanked a double down the left-field line in his first plate appearance. As he strolled up for his next two at-bats, the JetHawks deployed the rarely used right-handed shift, moving three fielders to the left of second base.
It didn't matter -- Renfroe struck out swinging in both trips, the second coming on a pitch in the dirt that skipped past the Lancaster catcher before Renfroe was thrown out at first. Then, with the Storm facing a 5-2 deficit in the ninth inning, Renfroe took two called strikes before rocketing a solo home run to straightaway center. No dead-pull swing there.
Lake Elsinore didn't score again, as it failed to move past Lancaster in the standings. But Renfroe's 13th home run did break the tie at the top of the California League home run leaderboard, and he hasn't looked back since.
In May, Renfroe put together a slash line of .314/.383/.636 for a sparkling OPS of 1.019, strung together an eight-game hitting streak, reached base in all but three of Lake Elsinore's 30 games and ended the month with 12 fewer strikeouts than he had in April in 15 more at-bats.
Renfroe was recently named as a starter for the California League All-Star Team.
"I'm just seeing the ball a lot better," Renfroe said. "The balls are coming easy to me now since the first part of the year, when I kind of struggled a little and was striking out a good bit."
Renfroe said he hasn't set any concrete statistical benchmarks he wants to reach this year, and he is just focused on keeping a line-drive approach.
"Throughout the season, I just want to hit the ball hard, [make] hard contact," Renfroe said. "If it's right to somebody, that's going to happen. Then sometimes you hit a little blooper over second base and that's a hit. It happens. I just want to try to make contact and get the batting average as high as possible and cut down on the strikeouts."

SantaCon NYC
SantaCon is a mass gathering of people dressed in Santa Claus costumes parading publicly on streets and in bars in cities around the world. The focus is on spontaneity and creativity, while having a good time and spreading cheer and goodwill. Sometimes known as Naughty Santas, Cheapsuit Santas, Santarchy, Santapalooza, and Santa Rampage, SantaCon incorporates elements of a flash mob in the context of cheerful bawdy and harmless behavior, the singing of naughty Christmas carols, and the giving of small gifts to strangers. In 1994, the Suicide Club in San Francisco staged the first "Santarchy", which was later adopted by the Cacophony Society as SantaCon. Influenced by the surrealist movement, Discordianism, and other subversive art currents, the Cacophonists celebrated the Yule season in a distinctly anti-commercial manner, by mixing guerrilla street theatre and pranksterism. SantaCon has since evolved, spawning many different versions and interpretations of the event throughout the world. In 2009, 7000 Santas, reindeers, elves, Xmas trees gathered in NYC.

Product Tanker Freight Rates Rebounds
Product tanker freight rates softened in the third quarter of 2019 but rebounded strongly at the start of the fourth quarter following an increase in crude tanker rates that began after the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities and accelerated dramatically to multi-year high levels at the end of September when the US imposed sanctions on two subsidiaries of China's COSCO Shipping.Denmark-based TORM said that growth in global demand for oil products generally remained subdued in the first two months of the quarter but showed signs of increased momentum towards the end of the quarter.
For Ship Recycling, Grieg (Goes) Green
In May 2014 National Geographic wrote an in-depth article on shipbreaking operations in Bangladesh where they listed shipbreaking as one of the deadliest professions in the world. The images from these shipyards are well circulated among professionals in the shipping industry. Individuals without personal protective equipment cutting and grinding into a ship that was haphazardly beached and torn asunder by unskilled laborers. Pollution swirl in the nearby tidal area and soot belches into the air. Large sections of ships come careening off endless rows of vessels that litter the beach.

ABS & the Future of Classification
The discussion of the 'future of class' seems more relevant today than ever, as the maritime industry navigates a transcendent period, with digitalization, decarbonization and a long list of related safety and risk concerns occupying the attention and budgets of shipowners globally."There are many things going on in the industry, and in fact the world, and looking ahead I think we're looking at a 'new norm'," said Christopher J.

HIV is a virus that causes damage to the body's immune system. The immune system is the body's way of fighting infections. When the immune system does not work well, the body cannot fight off many serious illnesses.
The damage caused by HIV can occur over months, as sometimes happens when infants have HIV. In adults with HIV, the damage can occur more slowly. People with HIV are said to have AIDS when their immune systems are severely damaged or when HIV-related infections or cancers occur.
Because it can take years for symptoms to develop, many people do not know they have HIV. During this time, they can unknowingly spread the virus to others. Most people with HIV appear healthy. You cannot tell just by looking at people whether they have HIV. A blood test is the only way to be sure.
It is very important to know how HIV is not spread.
Teach your children the facts about HIV and AIDS, including how HIV is not spread.
Teens should also know about other types of birth control. However, make sure they know that other forms of birth control will not protect them from HIV or other STIs. If teens are sexually active, encourage them and their partners to be tested for HIV and STIs before sexual activity.
Anyone involved in the risky behaviors listed previously should get an HIV test. Keep in mind, a negative test does not mean a person is safe if the risky behaviors took place only a few months before the test. This is because it can take several months for the HIV test to become positive.
There is no cure for HIV or AIDS. However, there are medicines that can help delay symptoms, prevent the virus from spreading to an unborn baby, and help prevent additional infections in people with HIV. Because starting treatment for an HIV infection early (before there are symptoms of AIDS) is most effective at preventing symptoms and keeping people healthy, it is important to get tested to know if you have an HIV infection. If you do, you can stay healthy for many years if you start medicines as early as needed and stay on them.
HIV and AIDS are important issues to think and talk about. Knowing the facts about HIV and AIDS is the best way to keep you and your family healthy. If you need more information, talk with your child's doctor.

FACETIME- Spud spoof: Eric Hurt back with donut sequel
Has Spudnuts become a Charlottesville classic? It might, if Eric Hurt has his way.
The 29-year-old filmmaker premiered the first episode of The Spudnuts Show to an enthusiastic audience at LiveArts earlier this year– complete with refreshments provided by the Belmont bakery, of course. And now Hurt is gearing up for the second installment in a series of short films immortalizing the holiest of all potato-flour confections.
In Hurt's treatment, some bumbling hillbilly donut makers scramble each month to pay the rent for the business their dear departed father left them (it's fictional, Hurt stresses!), mockumented all the while by a group of slightly less bumbling high school students.
Local actor and filmmaker Johnny St. Ours plays the leader of the outfit– that is, the guy who thinks to show up with a package of store-bought donuts when they can't figure out how to make fresh ones in time for opening day– and he finds a certain charm in the lo-fi production.
"The budgetary restraint is like another one of the characters," laughs St. Ours. "The story and the medium of the film are supposed to be really lo-fi."
"It was really a side project," says Hurt. "We shot it on a prosumer camera for $150. That movie wouldn't look right if it were shot on 35mm film with a $250,000 budget."
Some at the LiveArts screening suggested getting the riotous picture into the hands of a major film studio, and Hurt concedes he's submitted the film to a number of festivals "just to test the waters."
"Who knows if it's going to do anything, but it's found a real fan base," he says. "We made it for ourselves and gave some copies to the actors, but the more the year has progressed, the more people ask us when the next one's coming out."
But when inspiration strikes, it strikes hard, and neither technical nor financial restraints can stand in the way of a sequel. Shooting begins in July.
"The next episode is already going to include a car with the top chopped off and a number of cameos," says Hurt. That's a loaded phrase in a town that's home to high profile actors, musicians, and authors– but as long as the screenplay meets the last film's standards, the presence or absence of stars may not matter.

Thailand and Iran claim gold at latest Asian Beach Volleyball Tour event
In front of a large number of home spectators packing the competition venue at Samila Beach here, Varapatsorn and Tanarattha stunned Vanuatu's Elvin Miller/Iatika Henriette, who performed excellently to capture their title in their debut effort at the Khanom meet last week, in a hard-fought three-set thriller 21-10 20-22 15-13 in 55 minutes, while Raoufi/Salemiinjehboroun produced a splendid performance to pull off an astonishing 21-15 21-12 win over New Zealand 1's Ben O'Dea/Thomas Hartles to dominate the men's showdown.
The victory in the women's event was a great fillip for Thailand and Varapatsorn and Tanarattha, who failed to make their mark at the last week's Khanom Asian Beach Volleyball Tour in Nakhon Si Thammarat, where no Thai team made it to the top three in both the men's and women's categories, especially with less than one week before the start of the Fuzhou Open for which both Thailand and Vanuatu are registered for.
Varapatsorn and Tanaratta, who made their presence felt in 2012 following their great achievement in two tournaments including the Asian Beach Games in China, advanced to the final showdown after avenging Australia 1's Nicole Laird/Mariafe Artacho, the team they lost to in the semifinals of last week's Khanom meet, in a close battle 21-17 15-21 15-11 in 53 minutes in the do-or-die semifinals, while Miller/Henriette showed no mercy to Juliana Dhitta/Utami Putu to crush the Indonesia 1's hopes in a lop-sided encounter 21-14 21-12 in the other semifinal clash.
Australia 1's Nicole Laird/Mariafe Artacho, silver medallists at the last week's Khanom meet, had to be content with the bronze medal this time after beating Indonesia 1's Juliana Dhita/Utami Putu 21-19 21-14 in 33 minutes in the women's third-place playoff.
The third place in the men's event went to Kazakhstan 1's Alexandr Dyachenko/Alexey Sidorenko after stunning last week's winners Tiago De J Santos/Pereira Santos of Qatar 1 in straight sets 21-19 21-15.
In the men's semifinals earlier, Iran 1's R. Raoufi/B Salemi survived a sturdy challenge from Dyachenka/Sidorenko to beat the Kazakhstan 1's duo with a magnificent come-from-behind 2-1 (18-21 21-19 15-13) win in 69 minutes, while the other semifinal match saw New Zealand 1's Ben O'dea/Thomas Hartles brush off Qatar 1's Tiago De J Santos/Pereira Santos in straight sets 21-15 21-18.

How to Start a Program or App in Windows 8
Windows 8 banished the Start button from its oft-clicked spot on the desktop's bottom-left corner. Microsoft prefers to say, however, that it has expanded the Start button, turning it into a full-screen launching pad for your programs.
But even though the Start screen lives in a new place, it still lets you launch programs or apps by following these steps:
Open the Start screen.
Because there's no longer a Start button, you can summon the Start screen any of these ways:
Mouse: Point your mouse in the screen's bottom-left corner and then click when the Start icon appears.
Keyboard: Press the Windows key.
Touchscreen: Slide your finger inward from your screen's right edge and then tap the Start button.
The Start screen appears, bringing a screen full of tiles representing many of your apps and programs.
If you spot the tile for your program or app, choose it with a mouse click or, on a touchscreen, a tap of a finger.
Don't see a tile for your sought-after program on the Start screen's list? Move to the next step.
Scroll to the screen's right to see more tiles.
The Start screen always opens to display the tiles on its farthest left edge. To see the apps and programs hiding from view, point at the screen's right edge with your mouse cursor; the rest of the Start screen's tiles begin scrolling into view.
If you're a touchscreen owner, you can view the tiles by sliding your finger across the screen to the left.
Still don't see your program or app listed? Head for Step 4.
View all your apps.
The Start screen shows apps first, followed by desktop programs. But to keep the list from stretching down the hallway, the Start screen doesn't list everything.
To reveal them all, right-click a blank part of the Start screen and then choose All Apps. All your apps appear listed by name and icon, followed by alphabetical lists of desktop programs, organized by categories. (Your most recently installed desktop programs always appear on the farthest right edge.)
To see all your apps on a touchscreen, slide your finger upward from the screen's bottom edge and click the All Apps icon.
If you still can't find your program on the admittedly crowded Start screen, follow these tips for other ways to open an app or program:
While you view the Start screen, begin typing the missing program's name. As you type the first letter, the Start screen clears, presenting a list names beginning with that letter. Type a second or third letter, and the list of matches shrinks accordingly. When you spot the app or program you want, open it with a double-click (or a touch on a touchscreen.)
Open File Explorer from the Start screen, choose Documents from the Navigation Pane along the window's left edge, and double-click the file you want to open. The correct program automatically opens with that file in tow.
Double-click a shortcut to the program. Shortcuts, which often sit on your desktop, are handy, disposable buttons for launching files and folders.
While you're on the desktop, you may spot the program's icon on the taskbar — a handy strip of icons lazily lounging along your desktop's bottom edge. If so, click the taskbar icon, and the program leaps into action.
Right-click on the Windows desktop, choose New, and select the type of document you want to create. Windows 8 loads the right program for the job.
Windows offers other ways to open a program, but the preceding methods usually get the job done.
For more information about Windows 8 and its features, explore Windows 8 For Dummies, available online.
Did this glimpse into how to start a program in Windows 8 leave you longing for more information and insight about Microsoft's personal computing operating system? You're free to test drive any of the For Dummies eLearning courses. Pick your course (you may be interested in more from Windows 8), fill out a quick registration, and then give eLearning a spin with the Try It! button. You'll be right on course for more trusted know how: The full version's also available at Windows 8.

On Dec. 20, 2008, a stunningly beautiful young model named Sahar Daftary fell to her death from the 12th-floor balcony of a waterfront high-rise in Manchester, England.
Eager to find out more about why she died — they were not convinced it was suicide — her family sued Facebook in a San Jose court to get access to her messages.
A federal magistrate rejected the suit in September. But the repercussions of the case and others like it continue to shape the public debate.
The Wall Street Journal did a long page-one piece about the issue a couple of weeks ago. Fundamentally, the question is this: Can you take online secrets to the grave?
I recognize the dubiousness of the idea that anything on Facebook is secret. And I'll leave the legal arguments to people better versed in state and federal law.
On the basic question, with some trepidation, I have to answer yes — the messages should stay secret. Two reasons persuade me.
First, we don't know what the 23-year-old Daftary would have wanted. In her absence, we have to err on the side of protecting her privacy.
Second, there are other options for dealing with an online legacy. You can give a password to a trusted friend. You can put it in a will.
Daftary, a Briton of Afghan descent who won the "Face of Asia" beauty contest, married a property developer in a 2007 Muslim ceremony that was not recognized by civil authorities.
The relationship soon foundered. The family claimed Daftary had discovered that the man she married, Rashid Jamil, 33, was married to another woman and had three children by her.
The young model became increasingly restive. On the day she died, she reportedly went to Jamil's high-rise apartment in Manchester to retrieve belongings. According to news reports, Jamil was present while Daftary was there.
Believing that she would not have killed herself, the family sought her Facebook messages in a civil motion. A coroner's inquest in England heard testimony that Daftary planned a trip to Dubai and believed her email had been hacked.
The federal magistrate in San Jose, Paul Grewal, ruled that the federal Stored Communications Act did not require Facebook to produce the messages.
Common sense
While Grewal cited legal reasons, you can understand the common-sense thinking behind the law.
What if a young woman dies unexpectedly after sending Facebook messages that chastise her parents? What if she never expected those messages would ever be public? Should that be her coda to her family?
Yes, I know that many people believe that anyone using Facebook should assume that everything is public. No online company, however, can operate that way. Facebook has to offer a safe harbor for private communication.
If states craft laws that give survivors access to more of the online legacy of the deceased, we'll have a patchwork of law. It's better that we preserve the current federal requirement of a government or law enforcement order before release.
However much we sympathize with Daftary's family, the release of her Facebook messages will create more problems than it will solve. The right of privacy doesn't disappear when we die.

Speaking in Public with Confidence
Speaking in public is many people's idea of a nightmare. Here are some easy hints on how to speak confidently and make an impact with your audience.
Stand well. Stand to your full height, with feet a bit apart, and put your weight evenly on both feet. Feel yourself grow taller and wider, so that you fill your space. Enjoy feeling how tall, broad and flexible you can be without effort.
Relax. Without slumping, feel every part of your body relax and melt, from the top of your head down through your body to your feet, while your skeleton stands tall and flexible. This is confident relaxation – the perfect way to produce your best from your voice.
Breathe. A strong voice depends on air, so you need to breathe well. The first step is to get rid of your old air. Blow all your air out and, without collapsing your body, just relax – as you relax, your body fills with fresh air naturally. Practise relaxation and good breathing frequently.
Lower your tone firmly at the end of a sentence. Lowering your tone may seem a minor adjustment, but makes a surprisingly big difference to how you come across. As a general rule, a falling tone at the end of a sentence is used for statements and commands, and sounds final – as if you mean business. A rising tone indicates incompleteness or uncertainty, and is used in all types of questions. End low and you sound as if you're confident of your own opinions.
Keep up your energy to the end. If your voice tails off at the end of a sentence, you sound as if you lack confidence in what you're saying. If you speak with clear emphasis and keep up the energy in your voice to the end of your statement, people believe what you're saying – simple as that.
Avoid weak additions to sentences. Try to avoid saying 'okay', 'like', 'actually', 'kind of', and of course 'um' and 'er'. People put in the useless little extra words because they think it buys them thinking time. But you don't need them. Take your time to think of the next thing you want to say and be happy with silence. You then sound confident.
Speak long phrases well. If you want to sound confident, you need to be able to speak long phrases as well as short ones. Practise speaking long phrases in a loud, energetic way. Doing so builds up your ability to breathe well and you sound as if you really mean what you say.
Believe in yourself. Self-belief isn't so much about thinking you're fantastic as about giving yourself permission to be you. When you're uncertain about your speech, you tend to tightly control your delivery. But giving yourself permission to be you means allowing yourself to falter on occasion, say the wrong thing or show unexpected emotion. When you give yourself permission to be human, mistakes are much less likely to occur. You come across as someone who's at ease.

EPA: Three Letters to Be Thankful For
The Environmental Protection Agency celebrates its 40th anniversary next week. But I think it's worth taking a moment this week to be thankful for what the EPA has accomplished during four decades (and that's in spite of eight not-so-great years as part of the Bush administration). These are just some highlights.
For a start, Ohio's Cuyahoga River has stopped catching fire. Time magazine's 1969 cover story on the combustible, polluted river led to the Clean Water Act, the first Earth Day, and the creation of the EPA. Since then, the agency has been on the job to protect all of America's rivers, lakes, streams and, most importantly, drinking water. Factories and corporations don't always require clean drinking water, but wildlife and people do.
We also have the EPA to thank for cleaner air. That hasn't just improved the view from downtown L.A. and Great Smoky Mountains National Park -- it's saved tens of thousands of lives (every single year) and trillions of dollars. As EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said while commemorating the Clean Air Act's 40th anniversary, "For every one dollar we have spent, we get more than $40 of benefits in return." So much for the idea that we must always choose between the environment and the economy.
Acid rain? That hole in the ozone layer? Two big problems that the EPA can take credit for solving by regulating chlorofluorocarbons and sulfur emission respectively. And the lead additives that used to be in gasoline are just one of the carcinogens the EPA has taken out of our daily lives. We'll never know exactly who didn't get cancer during the past four decades as a result, but it certainly could have been you or someone you love.
On a more mundane level, I can't think of another federal agency that's done so much to save millions of ordinary people money every day. Your refrigerator and other appliances cost less to run, thanks to the Energy Star program. You can take a hot shower using less water, which you spent less money to heat up. And you can choose a car with better gas mileage -- the EPA practically invented fuel efficiency.
Although it's called the Environmental Protection Agency, you could just as easily call it the Every-Person Protection Agency. That's because it's the EPA that has our backs when we might otherwise be at the mercy of corporate agendas that don't always make clean air, safe drinking water, or non-carcinogenic consumer products their first priority.
So let's be thankful for all the EPA's done, but let's also make sure we can keep counting on the agency's engineers, scientists, and environmental-protection specialists to be our advocates -- the ones who put people and the environment first. Whether it's regulating greenhouse-gas emissions, stopping the destruction of Appalachian watersheds from mountaintop-removal coal mining, or ensuring that we don't poison our drinking water with fracking chemicals and toxic coal ash, the EPA has some of its biggest fights still ahead of it (along with some powerful opponents).
So, happy birthday, EPA. You might well be the best idea Richard Nixon ever had.

Why Washington Won't Get Better
Romney and Obama each promise a cure — but the poison is already in the blood. "If you think ... things are going to change next year, you need to have your head examined."
WASHINGTON, D.C. — If there's one thing President Barack Obama, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at least pretend to agree on it's this: that come November 7th a new era of comity and good will shall sweep into the nation's Capitol, thawing the gridlock that has frozen official Washington for nearly two years.
"I believe that if we're successful in this election, when we're successful in this election, that the fever may break," President Obama said in June of the implacable Republican opposition to his agenda.
It's a pretty notion, so far as notions go. But it's also one that has virtually no basis in reality.
Politicians, especially presidential candidates and the minority leaders in the respective house of Congress, love to sell the idea that if, just if, they are brought to power in November, things in Washington will change.
Obama made it a central point of his 2008 campaign. So did George W. Bush in 2000, and then Minority Leaders Pelosi and Harry Reid in 2006.
Mitt Romney has also promised to bring functional, bipartisan business back to Washington, a case that forms a central part of part of his attacks on Obama this year.
Noting the breakdown in relations on the Hill, Romney vowed during last week's debate in Denver that "As president, I will sit on day one, actually, the day after I get elected, I'll sit down with leaders — the Democratic leaders, as well as Republican leaders" to discuss his agenda and begin finding a way forward.
But if there was any question whether Democrats would welcome those overtures with open arms, they were quickly dashed.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, dismissed Romney's vow as political posturing, telling Buzzfeed in an email that, "You can take the 'Pants on Fire' rating to the bank on that one."
"The Senate, with 53 Democrats, is the only place in America where Mitt Romney likes the 47 percent," he added.
In recent history, those promises have almost never been fulfilled. And even when they have been, the swift cranking of the gears of government has been short-lived and generally led to a worsening of relations between the two parties.
Take Obama's 2008 victory. He used strong majorities in the House and Senate to force through numerous bills, including controversial measures like the stimulus bill and healthcare reform.
But that change was transient at best, ushering in the 2010 GOP majority in the House and the bitter deadlock that has ground legislative action to a halt over the last two years.
"All the pledges to change the tone and tenure are welcome, but things are not going to change," said Jim Manley, a former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"It's going to take a while to bleed out all the poison on Capitol Hill," said Manley.
On that, if nothing else, there is bipartisan consensus among people who actually know their way around the halls of Congress.
"Beyond any progress on the fiscal cliff in the lame duck or maybe the beginning of the year if Mitt Romney wins, we're likely to have more gridlock" and not less, said Ron Bonjean, a former leadership aide in the House and Senate.
Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, insist that if they take control of the Senate and the presidency, things will be different in Washington.
For instance, in a floor speech last month McConnell lamented the lack of action on the fiscal crisis, spending bills and even a basic budget in the Senate.
"It's embarrassing. For the sake of this institution and for the sake of our country, we need to straighten this place out," McConnell said, adding that "the pledge we make to the American people, if they decide they want to try new leadership in the Senate, we will do these things, even if they're hard."
"Our commitment to the American people is, if we're in the majority, we'll do the basic work of government and our hand will be out to our colleagues on the other side and whoever the President of the United States is. It is time to tackle the biggest problems in the country, the most predictable crisis in American history," McConnell said.
But McConnell's comments belie the reality that unless one party has a commanding 61 plus vote majority, the minority and majority leaders are, in effect, sharing power because of the constant threat of filibusters.
And that dynamic won't change anytime soon.
"If there's a Republican majority, it would still be tough to get things done because one party rule is very, very hard," Bonjean said.
Of course, the so-called "budget reconciliation" process, which allows the majority to bypass a 60-vote filibuster on some issues, could be used to repeal most – though not all – of President Obama's health care law, if Republicans take control.
But that would also mean an outright end of even any pretense of bipartisanship in Washington, and Romney could find Democrats blockading every nominee and piece of legislation in retaliation.
Those close to Reid acknowledged that should Democrats lose control of the chamber, there is no chance he will decide to work cooperatively with Republicans, and will instead continue to insist on 60 vote majorities for every vote of consequence – a position that Republicans have used successfully over the last several years.
"If you think that, in light of the hyper-partisanship currently endemic in American politics, things are going to change next year, you need to have your head examined," Manley said.
To be sure, publicly politicians are still insisting that this year will be different and that after a divisive election somehow the two sides will find a way to come together rather than retrench.
Even Sen. Chuck Schumer, leading partisan warriors politicians in modern American politics, believes there will be room for compromise
"Obama wins by a significant amount, we keep about the same number of seats in the Senate and the House Democrats gain some seats, even not a majority — 10 seats lets say — it will strengthen the hand of mainstream conservatives [who] will say 'this embrace of the Tea Party that … the Romney Ryan Republicans have done didn't work,'" Schumer told Buzzfeed during the Democratic Convention.
But while Congress may find some way to come together on the fiscal cliff later this year or early in 2013, short of another major crisis Schumer's faith appears to be misplaced.
"If we're still in a close majority Senate, its hard to see anything moving quickly unless we have another national crisis" Bonjean warned.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Spinal Curves in Scoliosis
Doctors use X-ray images of a person's spine to measure spinal curvature. A curve or angle of the spine is measured in degrees and describes how severe the curve is. (The angle is determined by the intersection of lines projected from the top and bottom of the curve.) If the spine is straight, there is no angle; this would be a 0-degree curve. If the spine is curved, the angle can be measured. The larger the curve, the larger the angle or degree measurement. For example, a 10-degree curve is considered a mild curve, and a 50-degree curve is considered a severe curve.
Many people have some curve in their spine. In fact, spinal curves that are less than 10 degrees are considered a normal variation of the spine. Curves that are greater than 10 degrees may be monitored (to see whether the curve is getting worse) or may need treatment.
In addition to the severity of the curve, curves are described by their direction and location.

After 8 seasons on the air, Showtime's hit series Dexter has finally come to an end. In the highly-anticipated conclusion to the tale of Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite blood spatter analyst ends a life for the last time. But did the right life come to an end - and, more importantly, what did you think of the ending?
Throughout Dexter's season 7 & 8 journey, the once thought-to-be emotionless serial killer has been attempting to explore another side of himself, hoping to understand what it means to be human and to feel human emotions. Thanks to Dr. Evelyn Vogel, as well as Debra and Hannah, Dexter was able to touch upon the origins of his creation, the everlasting love of a sibling and the potential to live happily ever after. But in the end, it was Deb who fell because of Dexter's sins and Hannah who took on the responsibility of Dexter's most prized possession. As for Dexter? He somehow skipped out on more child support.
Yes, it seems that, with all the foreshadowing and exploration of Dexter becoming more than he was meant to be, the path that he chose to go down was based on one thing: everyone he loves ends up getting hurt. With that, Dexter has given up the chance to begin a new life with Hannah and Harrison; instead, Miami Metro's one-time finest has decided to become a lumberjack, for the time being. So... was the Dexter series finale somewhat of a letdown?
As with any series, Dexter has had some high and lows throughout its run on the air, but audiences were still ready and willing to explore whichever avenue producers decided to go down. When Dr. Evelyn Vogel first appeared on the show, it was thought that it would be her who would bring down the Butcher, but as the season progressed, her story-arc allowed us to explore more of Dexter's past, allowing fans to learn much more about the character before he walked off into the sunset. Still, no matter how much character progression and evolution the season introduced, it was as if the finale threw it all away for a twist ending that is not only wholly unoriginal, but was also awkward in execution.
It seems, at least in part, that Debra's death was ultimately the only way producers would be able elicit an emotional response from viewers. If Dexter died, viewers would (momentarily) be sad, but would ultimately understand (he's a murderer, after all); if Hannah died, viewers would be happy; if Dexter was caught, viewers would want to know what happens next.
When caught between a rock and a hard place - or, in this case, a series that's coming to an end - it appears that the Debra's death was the only way to end the series; that is, if Showtime president David Nevins is still trying to drum up interest in a Dexter spin-off (which probably wasn't helped by AMC's spin-offs of Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead).
That said, television shows are never really about the start or ending – it's about the journey. So while Dexter's series finale was much more a forgettable conclusion than the ending of an earnest opus, it's impossible to deny the fact that Showtime has brought 8 great years of entertainment to our televisions. Sure, there were a few hit or miss seasons here and there, but Dexter will forever be known as the show which made the world fall in love with a serial killer – and unfortunately, like with most tales about serial killers, this one ends poorly.

Dexter aired October 1, 2006 – September 22, 2013 on Showtime.

Let the movies begin!
Think how cool it would have been if Nicole Kidman could have been here Wednesday when her latest movie, "Rabbit Hole," opened the 33rd Starz Denver Film Festival.
The Oscar-winning actress apparently had another commitment, but co-star Aaron Eckhart (that's him, with his mother, Mary, in the photo at right) and director John Cameron Mitchell walked the red carpet leading to the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and attended the VIP events that were part of the first-night hoopla.
Eckhart also received the Excellence in Acting Award for a body of work that includes starring roles in such films as "Thank You for Smoking," "The Dark Knight" and "Erin Brockovich." Mitchell, whose parents live in Colorado Springs and accompanied him to opening night, recalled that his last visit to the Denver Performing Arts Complex was in 1988 when he played the title role in "Peter Pan."
The social side of opening night began at 5:30 p.m. when about 75 VIPs gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel to drink a Perrier-Jouet Champagne toast to the festival's success. "We have a very exciting 11 days ahead of us," said festival director Britta Erickson, "and ticket sales have been very strong."
Fewer than 100 tickets remain for Friday's Big Night showing of "127 Hours," a movie based on the true story of how outdoorsman Aron Ralston was forced to amputate his own arm in order to extricate himself from the boulder that had pinned him to a canyon wall in Utah in 2003. And, approximately 200 tickets are left for the Nov. 13 Closing Night and its showing of "Black Swan."
"Thank goodness the elections are over and the films are here," added Tom Botelho, the festival's executive director. "This year, especially, people seem to be very happy for that." Botelho estimates that the festival's 200 films will be viewed by 50,000 people.
Caz Matthews, a sponsor of the festival's Women + Film component, introduced us to her friend and houseguest, Shane Gilbert, director of "Mzungu," which will be shown three times during the festival's run, including Nov. 10 at the new Denver Film Center/Colfax. Gilbert, who grew up in Greenwood Village and graduated from Littleton High School, said making "Mzungu," which means "white wanderer," had such a profound effect on her that she has moved to Africa to help women there improve their lot in life.
First-nighters also included Dave Charmatz, a senior vice president at Starz and chairman of the Denver Film Society board, and his wife, Jody; Zee Ferrufino, whose KBNO Radio is a festival sponsor; retired Air Force Brigadier General Gary Hahn and his wife, Barby; Ellie Caulkins; Jayne Buck, Visit Denver's vice president of tourism; Monroe Group president Scott Mitchell; Dr. Dean Prina; Jose Mercado, one of the leaders in the effort to preserve the Historic Elitch Theatre; Lois Paul; Kathleen Perry; Joanne and Ron Katz of Three Tomatoes Catering; Hayden Hirschfeld; Matt Keeney; Don Greco; Radhika Mahanty Black; and Anthony Paul.

High-temperature-resistant coatings are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from 150°C (300°F) to over 760°C (1,400°F) while providing protection against corrosion.
Composed of either organic or inorganic materials, high-temperature coating resins could either be an epoxy, epoxy phenolic, epoxy novolac, silicone, or a more specialized multi-polymeric matrix depending on the level of temperature resistance required.
For service under insulation, a single-component product like the PPG HI-TEMP 1027™ coating can be used for a wide range of operating temperatures and provides excellent protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI). In areas where insulation is not required, a two-coat system consisting of a primer and silicone topcoat is recommended.
Utilizing quality products with proven track records is the key to protecting assets and reducing expensive downtime.
High-temperature coatings are often found in the following industries:
Specific examples of applications for high-temperature coatings include:
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 coating prevents Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) of carbon and stainless steel over an extreme temperature range, from -185°C to 650°C (-300°F to 1,200°F).
PPG HI-TEMP 900 is a multipurpose heat-resistant coating that prevents corrosion of both insulated and non insulated carbon and stainless steel over an extreme temperature range from 300°F to 900°F (–185°C to 482°C).
