Active Comparator: SILS
Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) where a single incision in the umbilicus is all that is used to remove the appendix. The specific methods (staple/tie/port use/etc) will vary depending on surgeon.
Procedure: Single Incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy
A single incision through the umbilicus to remove the appendix
Other Name: SILS
Active Comparator: 3 port
Standard laparoscopic appendectomy with 3 ports and intracorporeal stapling.
Procedure: 3 port laparoscopic appendectomy
Standard 3 port laparoscopic appendectomy with intracorporeal stapling
Other Name: Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial involving patients who present to the hospital with non-perforated appendicitis. We will offer enrollment to several institutions provided they receive institutional approval.
There are likely several parameters that will show small differences between groups, and this study will precisely quantify them to allow for adequate consultation from surgeons to families dealing with acute appendicitis. One theoretical concern over the SILS approach is that the exposure of the appendix to the wound could increase the rate of infectious complications; therefore, this is the primary outcome variable. The documented rate of infectious complications at our institution in patients with non-perforated appendicitis is 0.6%. An unacceptable and clinically relevant rise to 5% may curtail enthusiasm for the new technique. Using a power of 0.9 with an α of 0.05, the sample size is 360 total patients or 180 in each arm.
After the procedure, both groups will be managed in the same manner per routine care. They will be discharged when tolerating a regular diet and their pain is well-controlled on oral pain medication. Cosmetic scores will be obtained at 6 weeks and 6 months.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 1 Month to 18 Years (Child, Adult) |

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children under 18 years

Hey, the name is HawaiianLoveGirl22. If you cant tell already, i love anime and manga!!! Anyways, I figure its time to do some updating.
My anime preference? I love all types of anime, for the most part =). I will watch anything and everything! The ones that i usually do not like are the ones that are 'family friendly' for example, if you go and look up Doraemon in the anime base...i REFUSE to watch that anime. I am sorry and if you like that anime, thats fine but to me...it doesnt seem like something i would watch. Though i have watched some family friendly ones. lol.
The other type of anime i will not watch is the ones that are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY perverted. i can handle some major stuff actually but i ran into some that made me feel awkward. but yeah.
So in my Watched Anime category on the right, it says ive watched like 60 something anime probably. No not really. It's because whenever i just want to watch something short for the heck of it ill look up an anime thats like 3 episodes long or one of those anime music videos that are like 7 minutes long and I'll watch one of those. So Yeah. Oh and in the Dropped Anime category, i plan to return to those...eventually. Except I'd probably have to go back a few episodes just to help remember what had happened, or just possible restart XP
Another thing is that i am a fan of subs. =) I don't mind if you prefer to watch anime in dubs, which is actually fine, each person has their own preference on how to watch anime, but i do have my own reasons why i watch it subbed. Though, there are actually a handful of animes out there that ive heard the dubs and aren't that bad. I WILL watch dubs if i am desperately looking for an episode and i can only find it dubbed but i will for the most part watch subs. But however you like to watch it, fine with me. Just please don't start arguments or trying to fight with me about why you think what is what better, to me just leave it alone. Everyone has their own preference.
Manga preference? So i've never been huge on reading manga before. Why? I really don't know. I always found it much more nicer to actually watch the anime. But lately, ive been having this absolute craving to read manga. I also had this craving to watch some of the older episodes of Naruto but instead decided to go and check out what the manga was like. It definitly follows the plot of the anime very well as far as i read. But yeah, ive been reading manga like crazy lately! Although i haven't really add them to my read or reading category yet =) Usually, i prefer to read manga from the actual comic book if anything, but ive been reading some and they end with a cliff hanger or something so im ending up online looking for it and reading the manga for hours until i realize its like 6:00 in the morning. lol.
I'm also kind of sad. Because, ive been reading so many really really really good mangas, but none of them were made into an anime. I would really like to see what they would be like in the anime form too (hope i'm making sense) but oh well. =)
Some random stuff about me you could probably care less about but i feel like putting anyways:
Sooooo if you have somehow stumbled upon my page then yeah. Lol. If you want to comment saying hi, or about my avatar, recommend me an anime, recommend a manga, add me as a friend, anything you can think of go ahead and feel free =)

Certainly we Fools realize that, over the long term, whatever interest rate path the Fed chooses won't mean much. But we're only human after all; how can we NOT be a teensy-weensy bit sad as we watched our portfolio sag 4.09% today?
The worst thing is that no matter which path the Fed chooses, investors can't seem to win in the short term. Why? The day after the Fed chooses to either raise interest rates or leave them unchanged, the market will begin worrying about what will happen the next time the Fed meets. Worrying leads to pessimism, which leads to panic, which leads to premature selling, which leads to market volatility, which leads to more intense worry. Maybe it's a good thing that therapists have taken August off.
The American poet Robert Frost wrote, "The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work." We Fools prefer to spend our time enhancing the quality of our lives and putting as much distance between us and worry as possible.
One way we can all make our lives better while waiting for the Fed's decision next week is to learn how to get the biggest bang from our bucks. On our Living Below Your Means message board, Fools energetically share their secrets for getting more for their money. From pet food to car buying to rebates to free ice cream, there is almost no topic that Fools can't find a deal on.
Living below your means, however, is not a style that appeals to everyone. Some people can't be bothered spending the extra time and research trying to save a few bucks. I think that Living Below Your Means Fools have the "savings" gene -- they inherently know that accumulating pennies in the present leads to plumper piggy banks down the road.
On the other end of the spectrum are debtors, those who live above their means. Every former or current debtor knows the agonizing pain of trying to climb out of the ditch of debt. You begin the journey towards debt freedom with an earnest commitment, stoically gathering dirt under your fingernails as you begin the climb. Halfway up towards the light of no debt, an unanticipated expense smothers all your valiant efforts, throwing more dirt upon you and hurling you mercilessly back down to the bottom. And you begin again.
Getting out of debt takes discipline and commitment. It takes giving up some indulgences in the short term as you move towards the possibility of financial freedom in the long term. Sometimes it takes giving up things you really, really like and would rather not do without. In that case, the gang at the Living Below Your Means board can help, as they know the mysteries of learning how to enjoy life's treasures for less money.
Remember that being out of debt is a precursor to successful investing. Too often, debtors think that if they could just borrow a little more money and make a killing in the market, they'd be saved. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way; the more you borrow, the more chains you wear. And since there are no guarantees that your investments will be profitable, you run the risk of digging deeper into the never-ending well.
For those who prefer to live above their means, please visit our Credit area for Foolish help.
Having been a debtor AND a saver, I prefer the balance of living within my means. Sure, it's fun getting a "deal" on things. But I'm from the crowd that wants what they want, when they want it, and is willing to pay a little extra for convenience and service. This works as long as a consistent saving and investing plan is adhered to.
As for August 24th� I don't care what decision the Fed makes regarding interest rates. I won't be watching. Instead, I'll be off doing what Fools do best -- painting the town in celebration of my birthday and giving thanks for the gift of a Foolish life. Within my means, of course.
Fool on!
P.S. If you find your friends developing a love/hate relationship with your fixation on economic and market trends, you'll probably find our Foolish writings on Greenspan and the Federal Reserve tantalizing. Take a peek as Louis Corrigan opines on the interpreters of Greenspeak.
And check out our Foolish feature on Greenspan and The Fed.

Glad I caught you. See, I thought it was super-important to let you know the name of the Morgan roadster that had a role on a 1980 episode of The Muppet Show. Are you ready? Have a notebook? Here's the name: ZZXKL. Advertisement ZZXKL's name was taken from his license plate, and the British car was arrested for being double-parked in the Fozzie Bear Muppet cop drama sketch, Bear Patrol. Here's more details:He cannot speak English, but Patrol Bear and Link surmise that his name is pronounced "Zikskuhl." Since they cannot understand what he says, a police interpreter (played by Gonzo) is brought in to translate. After deciphering his native "tong" (which is accomplished via squashing Patrol Bear's nose with a large pair of steel tongs, making him squawk), the car reveals that he is a three-year-old imported vehicle who doesn't know where his driver is, but likes an occassional sip of motor oil. It's not his fault he was double parked.Got all that? Good. Okay, I think now you can more effectively enjoy your weekend. Just remember: ZZXKL, the red Morgan.Reply18 repliesLeave a reply

ACL Day 3 Recap: Devendra Banhart, Band Of Horses, Other Beardos
Photos by Marco Torres |
For more photos from Sunday's final day of ACL, see our slideshow here.
Aftermath doesn't know the bargain Austin City Limits promoter C3 Presents gets by booking both Lollapalooza and ACL, but to this dog-tired participant, this year's Zilker Park festivities ended up feeling less Austin weird and more something-something.
Not that it's a bad thing, we're just saying - on the twin tip this season, Chicago and Austin this year both had the Strokes, Gogol Bordello, Yeasayer, Edward Sharpe and a few other notable overlaps. Of course, we did get the Eagles and Texas native Don Henley, so...
We started our Sunday with Houston's native son Devendra Banhart, who despite cutting his locks, flew his freak flag plenty high. DB is like a new dangerous and dirty Donovan for a darker and more dangerous age. Not that there's a lot of threat being thrown down when Devendra and his Grogs showcase their funky, soulful sides. And the patchouli in the air helped remind us that the more some things change, the more some stay the same.

Of course, Devendra did have some surprises in store, including inviting a crowd-member - Shane Bell, we think, an apparent stranger to the headliner, but from Houston just the same - to sing an impromptu ditty. Bell, if that was his name, complied with the murder ballad of Jack the Kid, a performance that got rapturous applause.
Banhart rocked versions of "Seahorse," and the vaguely scandalous "Shabop Shalom" off Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon.
We were eager to catch - and not disappointed by - the Band of Horses, with Ben Bridwell and company dealing with the cursed late-afternoon sun that plagued performers on the Budweiser stage. They still managed to stay mostly on key, in harmony and in the groove throughout a bunch of selections off 2007's Cease to Begin.
"This one goes out to the sun, or whatever," said a loose Bridwell introducing "No One's Going to Love You." "It goes out to my son," he cracked. The band also managed to recall late Texas groover Doug Sahm on their single "Laredo." Their cute-cover sweepstakes entry was a version of "Georgia" borrowed from Cee Lo of Gnarls Barkley fame (Green recently covered BOH's "Love You").
On the basis of this evidence, you might think that beard bros had nothing to worry about at ACL. But with outfits like Edward Sharpe, doing whatever it is he does (we were in the nearby press tent) and Yeasayer, bringing their dance-clap-dance routine to the front, you had to wonder if C3 was not having it both ways. The National nailed their Brooklyn-bred set, and even let fly a dedication to the Eagles.
And of those Eagles: Despite being the most overplayed classic-rock radio staple this side of nobody - c'mon, you really could go the rest of your life without hearing "Hotel California" again - the dinosaurs found traction headlining Sunday night.
Opener "Seven Bridges Road" showed that second to only Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Eagles are still capable of some rock's finest harmonies. Mixing solo work with collected greatest hits, including Joe Walsh's indelible "Life's Been Good," the band basked in their collective talent. Ironic and innocent, saintly and silly, there was nothing left to say after "Desperado."
Either you stuck it out to the end, or you made like Jacko and beat it. But no one was riding fences.

ObituaryNorth: Guy A. Guadagnino / Former North Hills baseball coach taught students Wednesday, March 20, 2002 By Alisha Hipwell
When Guy A. Guadagnino, a longtime coach in the North Hills School District, was inducted into the North Hills Sports Hall of Fame, fellow coach Al Vacarro described him by using an Italian expression -- "uomo di rispetto" or "a man of respect."
"That encapsulated his character. ... He was a very honest man about everything and he handled himself always with dignity," said Vacarro, of McCandless.
During a career that spanned more than three decades, Mr. Guadagnino coached hundreds of players and built and maintained a winning tradition for athletic teams, particularly baseball, at the former West View High School and later at North Hills High School.
Mr. Guadagnino, of Hampton, formerly of Ross, died March 9 of complications from Parkinson's disease. He was 82.
Born in a tiny Washington County mining community called Slovan, Mr. Guadagnino was one of nine children, two of whom died in infancy. His father eventually quit mining, became a baker and relocated the family to East Liberty, where Mr. Guadagnino grew up and attended Westinghouse High School.
He went on to play baseball for the University of Pittsburgh. He did not have a scholarship, so he scraped together the tuition by working as a baker and washing windows at the Cathedral of Learning.
Mr. Guadagnino, a catcher, played so well that, in 1941, the St. Louis Cardinals invited him to Forbes Field for a tryout. He impressed the scouts enough that they asked him to travel with the team during July. He stayed with the team three weeks and had one at-bat.
Longtime friend John Blackstock, a member of Mr. Guadagnino's 1958 high school baseball team, said his old coach left the Cardinals for two reasons. "He knew he had to finish part of his degree and he knew World War II was coming. ... He took the responsible route," said Blackstock of St. Louis, Mo.
Mr. Guadagnino served in the Army during World War II at Fort Knox in Kentucky. He suffered a broken wrist while in the service, ending any hope of a Major League career. When he returned home, he looked up an elementary school friend -- North Hills coaching legend Mario Martorelli -- who helped him land a job with the district as a coach and physical education teacher in 1946.
The two coached football together for years -- with Martorelli handling the line and Mr. Guadagnino the backfield. Over the years. "Mr. G," as the players liked to call him, also coached basketball, volleyball and golf for the district.
But it was as a baseball coach that he truly excelled. His teams, disciplined and well-schooled in the basics, but spiced up with some inventive plays, turned in consistently good performances year after year and were frequent section champs.
"He used to say, 'You can only run with the horses you've got,' but he got a lot out of those horses," said his son, Gary Guadagnino of Richland. "He knew what he wanted and he demanded it of them. They knew if they didn't do it, they were going to sit on the bench."
Blackstock said Mr. Guadagnino earned his players' respect because he always took the time to explain the why behind his instructions and because his behavior was always above reproach.
"He taught strong sportsmanship -- how to win with class and lose with dignity," Blackstock said.
Mr. Guadagnino retired in 1980. He was subsequently inducted into the North Hills Sports Hall of Fame. In recognition of his accomplishments, the district also named the baseball field after him. Since 1998, he had lived at Outlook Point, an assisted-living facility in Hampton.
In addition to his son, Mr. Guadagnino is survived by his wife, Willie A. "Billie" Guadagnino of Hampton; another son, Guy Guadagnino of Tulsa, Okla.; two daughters, Patricia Rell of Tulsa, Okla., and Rebecca Faye of Mechanicsburg; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by a son, Glenn Guadagnino.
A funeral was held Thursday in Schellhaas Funeral Home in West View. Interment followed in Mount Royal Cemetery in Shaler.
Memorial donations may be made to the American Parkinson's Disease Association, Pittsburgh Chapter, 420 E. North Ave., Suite 206, Pittsburgh 15212.

This recipe for lean chicken features a wonderful crust of almonds and flax with no frying. Almond butter can amp up the marinade, along with garlic and some classic herbs. Add a little kick (or a lot) with cayenne pepper and paprika. Flaxseed contains the plant form of omega-3 fats. Scientists generally agree that including more omega-3s (also found in cold water fish) in our diet provides heart health benefits. Flax is currently being studied for its impact on breast cancer.

I got a chin implant together with my rhinoplasty about a year ago, but I don't feel the chin implant made any difference, and now I'm beginning to wonder if it was even inserted altogether. How would I check this?
How Do I Know if the Doctor Really Inserted a Chin Implant?
Doctor Answers 5
It is good that you cannot feel your chin implant. If you want investigate compare before and after pictures, get an x-ray which will show the implant, or look for an incision under your chin or in your mouth; you should remember these incisions after your surgery or do you think the surgeon made an incision but neglected to insert an implant? I hope you solve the mystery.
A chin implant shoudl be palpable and an incison in the mouth or under the chin is used. It shoudl be fairly obvious.
Well, comparing your profile pictures before and after the procedure should show a visible difference. Alternatively, an X-ray will show the implant. Usually there is a scar - either inside the mouth or on the chin - where the implant was inserted. Also, your medical record will show you what type of implant was used.
All the best,

Wow, first why don't you trust or believe that your plastic and cosmetic surgeon placed a chin implant? I have used chin implants for chin augmentation since my internship in 1985 and they should easily be felt both internally and externally. If you truly feel nothing, then it maybe that there's nothing in there. You should ask your Rhinoplasty Surgeon this question. You should have an incision under the chin (the preferred route IMHO) or on the inside of the mouth below the lower gums if a chin implant was placed.

Congratulations, Irina
Before this challenge you were the only designer this season with repeat wins. In Season 5 only one designer went to Bryant Park having had 3 wins - Jerell Scott. Season 4 had only one thrice victor prior to Fashion Week - Christian Siriano. You demonstrated clearly this week that you are the one to beat with your look that would have been equally at home in Aspen, Sundance, Gstaad or Chamonix. With a tight deadline you created an ensemble that Nina Garcia said looked luxe. Michael Kors favored the sex appeal of your back detailing declaring it had runway power. Heidi Klum said you did an incredible job and made us want to sip champagne in a ski lodge. With that in mind, we toast you and your success this week. Salute, Irina!
This post is only for positive words for Irina Shabayeva.If you have negative commentary or something to say about another designer, you may do so in our

The independent Low Commission on the future of advice and legal support has called for the creation of a £100m-a-year fund to pay for local advice services, paid for mainly through a levy on payday lenders.
The proposal comes ahead of a parliamentary debate on 21 January that will consider increasing the funding for debt advice through a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) levy on the sector.
Paul Blomfield, the MP who introduced legislation to regulate payday lenders and developed the "Charter to Stop the Payday Loan Rip-off", is in favour of the move.
"It's absolutely right that payday lenders, who create many of the problems people face, should provide the additional resources that are needed," he said.
The FCA has proposed forcing payday lenders to signpost borrowers to debt advice when it takes over regulation of the sector in April.
That's needed, said Mr Blomfield. "Advice centres are already feeling the strain as the sector has been deeply affected by the Government's cuts to local authority funding, which have disproportionately hit our big cities."
I agree with his views. What payday lenders do is not illegal – in fact, I accept that at times they can help those people who can afford to use their services. But the lenders should take greater responsibility for their customers, particularly in helping them if they get into financial trouble. Ministers should also support the proposals.

I wish there was a rant section. Why are so many people basing their whole expertise on frameworks? I mean, if you wanna cut corners, fine… But at least learn a solid foundation of coding yourself, so if frameworks suddenly vanished, you could still work! It's frustrating to me that so many people want to breeze through this. Learn to write from scratch, it's seriously not that hard and you won't have to load a bunch of nonsense just to make a site. I'm fine with jQuery I suppose, but I'm mostly talking about CSS frameworks. CSS to me, is the funniest part of creating sites because it's like the paint that I get to create with on my canvas. Haha, ok, I'm done.
I think there are many people out there who DO learn the basics and have a solid foundation.
But even then, what if someone does want to work with a framework, without having learned things from scratch? Why is this such a problem for you if someone else feels comfortable creating sites using that method?
That's perfectly fine, I'm only speaking to the ones who want the easy way out, then post a million questions about why things aren't working. I understand having questions, but I see so many questions about such basic things, that if you knew HTML and CSS, you should be able to figure it out.
I get that. Use them as references, learn from them, etc… All I'm saying is, don't rely on them in place of actual understanding. I'm only basing this on many forum posts here where people are using them, then asking why simple things don't work.
As a matter of fact, I think things like html5 boilerplate are great resources to learn from, but I'd never recommend copying and pasting it verbatim.
Anyway, maybe I'm the only one that feels this way, so it's not a big deal.
Sometimes the best way for someone to learn something is to take apart what someone else has already done and then put it back together (how I learned to build computers for example).
I say as long as you understand the parts you are dealing with and what they do, there is nothing wrong with using frameworks, snippets, etc. I personally don't use frameworks unless my boss requires it but I'll use snippets to help speed up my workflow. :)
Your an arrogant, unhelpful, jumped up .. i'll stop there.
I don't understand why you would be complaining on a forum about people asking for help, you've basically hijacked my first post to pick me up on not closing my meta tags which i may add didn't have nothing to do with the problem i was asking about..
CSS frameworks such as blueprint, bootstrap, ect are exactly that, frameworks, basically allowing you to put in place the structure of your site effectively while saving you time, the actually styling is done by whoever is building the site after and has nothing to-do with framework, this is where people would learn or put there CSS into practice.
It's not hard to float, align your divs in place but its time consuming to keep rewriting that out, doesn't make sense to do so ever project you have.
Whats happened you've learnt how to code HTML in notepad and you think you're zeldman or something? if you're so great at html then use the forum for the good and to help people not to pick on irrelevant areas you believe are wrong and attack people.
I've posted one question on this forum and for me, personally @msguerra74 has put me off using this again, you complete and utter knob!
@msguerra74 Just for the record, I'm a partial creator of the CMS/Framework that @rgcouk is using, and the self-closing HTML tags is perfectly valid http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/syntax.html#syntax-elements : See Start Tags #5
I have been working closely with @rgcouk to get this site working as he wants, and I'm not sure how much in-depth development experience you have had, but generally, there is a team of people who work on a project, a front-end team which is what rgcouk is part of, so he deals with the designs directly, and a backend-team which is myself and a few others. We deal with the data manipulation and template parsing to HTML.
So as for your comment, "Create a framework from ground up" is a redundant comment at best, as that is exactly what we have done.
The same way that your site uses jQuery and jQuery UI, I'm sure you didn't write them, and I know a lot of people who can use jQuery but have no idea how to do anything in raw Javascript.
As for CSS Libraries and Frameworks, there is no reason why you can't use them, if they make your life easier, why create something that is already there, which does everything you want it to. I can understand from a learning point of view, but there is no other real benefit.
@theacefes using snippets is a great idea in principle, but the issue I know a lot of people have is the dependencies that the snippets have on other code (More with Javascript/PHP, not so much CSS, but can apply to all languages in principle). So in a lot of cases it could take just as much time to sieve through all of the dependencies as it would to use the framework.

Researchers looked at 475 patients who had had surgery for colorectal cancer. They compared the post operation progress of three groups, those being given donated blood; those who were given transfusions of their own blood, which they had earlier donated; and patients who had received no transfusions during their treatment.
They found that patients receiving any type of transfusion, whether of their own blood (autologous) or donated (allogeneic) were at "significantly increased" risk of a recurrence of the disease compared with those not receiving blood.
"The disease free survival was significantly worse in patients in both groups who received transfusions than in the 143 patients who did not, whereas the disease free survival of the patients who received transfusions in both groups did not differ significantly from each other."
Four years after treatment, the survival rate for those having no transfusion was 73 per cent, compared with 59 per cent among those receiving either type of blood.
Of the 136 who had only allogeneic transfusions, 56 per cent survived after four years; of the 102 receiving only autologous blood, 62 per cent; of those receiving a mixture, 66 per cent.
They speculate that those deemed to need transfusions might have been more at risk anyway: "The need for a transfusion could be an indicator of other prognostic factors that are either unknown or difficult to quantify, such as the extent of the tumour and the dissection, the skill of the surgeon, and the nutritional state of the patient."
But they also say that it is possible that transfusions of blood from whatever source "produce the same adverse reactions". They add that the fact of having donated blood itself may be a factor.
"We have found in rats that the donation of blood can decrease natural killer cell activity and stimulate tumour growth. Therefore, the patients in the autologous transfusion group could have had a lower natural killer cell activity than the patients in the allogeneic transfusion group at the time of surgery.
"It seems beneficial to operate on patients with colorectal cancer in such a way that blood transfusions are either avoided or minimized," they conclude.

Detroit Revitalization Fellows: Fascination with the city

Downtown Detroit
Stories of Detroit's nascent comeback often highlight the Rust Belt city's attraction as a destination for America's young hipsters. According to
plentiful media reports
, well-educated twenty-somethings are streaming into the Motor City to test out new ideas, explore art and music projects or launch D-I-Y revitalization initiatives.
The real story is a bit more complex than that, but you can spot a number of once-dormant corners of the city now pulsing with activity thanks to young entrepreneurs.
Corktown now sports pubs and restaurants that would fit in Brooklyn or Portland. Midtown shows all the makings of a creative class hub, complete with hipsters hanging out at the Good Girls Go to Paris creperie, the Avalon International Breads bakery, and the N'Nmadi Center gallery, devoted to the rich tradition of African-American abstract art. Recent college grads can be seen all over town, from the bountiful Eastern Market to bustling Campus Martius square to festive Mexicantown to the scenic Riverwalk to the yummy Good People Popcorn shop downtown, featuring flavors like cinnamon and chocolate drizzle.
This burst of youthful energy -- even in the face of the city's continuing economic and social woes -- debunks widespread opinion that nothing can be done to jumpstart the Motor City. While a new, more positive narrative about Detroit is welcome, there are problems in focusing entirely on idealistic young adventurers swooping in to save the city -- it reinforces the stereotype of native Detroiters as hapless, helpless and hopeless.
The truth is, newcomers aren't the only ones stirring up excitement around town.
Good People Popcorn
, for instance, was started by two sisters and a cousin, all of whom grew up here. Sarida Scott Montgomery, one of the founders who is also a lawyer and Executive Director of the
Community Development Advocates of Detroit
, says people are often surprised she grew up in the city. "Not in the suburbs," she says, "but in Detroit itself."
Regina Ann Campbell, manager of the Milwaukee Junction Small Business Center incubator in Detroit's North End, grew up on the Northwest side before earning a Masters in urban planning degree at the University of Michigan. "I welcome all the new people," she says. "But it's important for them to understand they are building on some things that have been going on for years. I want to help them appreciate the city though the eyes of the people who have lived here."
Scott Montgomery and Campbell are both part of a new initiative that matches the talents of bright, young professionals with local organizations working at the frontlines of reviving Detroit. The Detroit Revitalization Fellows Program (DRFP) selected 29 Fellows with backgrounds in urban planning, economic development, finance, real estate, and related fields.
A lot of the buzz around the program highlights ambitious folks relocating from New York, Seattle, the Bay Area, Washington, D.C., Montreal, Chicago and Los Angeles to further their careers in Detroit, but in reality 10 of the fellows were already living in Detroit and nine others had grown up in the metro area or previously lived in the city.
For many of them it was a long-awaited homecoming, which shows that continuing loyalty from the Detroit Diaspora is a hidden asset in the city's favor. Jela Ellefson, who was working at a Los Angeles urban planning firm before moving back with her husband, an architect, and two children, says, "We always followed what was happening in Detroit, and noticed that the urban planning world was paying a lot of attention. Life in Los Angeles was coming to feel very stressful in terms of time, distance and money."
The program
-- a
Wayne State
project financially supported by the
Kresge Foundation
Ford Foundation
Hudson-Webber Foundation
Skillman Foundation
and the university --placed fellows at organizations identified as being "actively engaged in building the Detroit of tomorrow." This covers everything from the
Data Driven Detroit
research firm to the
Community Investment Support Fund
, which directs investment capital to low-income neighborhoods.
Fellow Matteo Passalacqua works at the
community development corporation to rehab historic structures as affordable housing in the city's North End, Owiso Makuku joined the governor's Office on Urban and Metropolitan Initiatives, Marcus Clarke at the
Detroit Economic Growth Corporation
and David Barna at
Midtown Detroit Inc
. are collaborating to help city firms acquire a larger share of procurement contracts from large local institutions.
One of DRFP's chief goals is that many of the Fellows will make a long-term commitment to help reviving the city, rather than just sampling the Detroit scene on their way to somewhere else. The program was modeled a similar one in New Orleans that brought young talent to the city after Hurricane Katrina -- most of whom stayed after the Fellowship ended, according to DRFP Executive Director Robin Boyle, an urban planning professor at Wayne State.
Dan Varner, CEO of
Excellent Schools Detroit
who hired Fellow Eric Anderson as the organization's Director of Digital Media and Engagement, sees the DRFP as important in reversing Detroit's brain drain. "We've been losing talented folks for a long time. Part of what we have to do to recover our potential is stop that drain. The Fellows program represents that potential."
Jean Redfield, vice-president for Public Programs at
Next Energy
, a sustainable energy non-profit working with the city, says, "The program has allowed us to bring in backgrounds we would not ordinarily be hiring. Katy Wyerman fits that with her background in community planning and Erin Kelly with her passion for a waste-free economy. The Detroit Fellows program delivered for us access to skill sets we likely would not have been able to get."
Jay Walljasper is author of the
Great Neighborhood Book
, an associate of the Citistates Group and a Senior Fellow at Project for Public Spaces. He writes regularly about cities for a number of sources including OnTheCommons.org., Shareable.net, and Citiwire.

There are another three UFOs to finish, until I go off on another tangent.
By the way, we locked ourselves out of the house last night and our fantastic cleaner came to the rescue. She's a really lovely lady.
I really like this with the pretty trim at the sleeves. Also smartly styled with the fishnet stockings! So glad you weren't locked out in the cold for too long!
Thanks Mushy. We've had summer rain so we ended up having a pizza at a local cafe:)
Great dress and it will be good for Puyallup once we get inside :)
Impromptu pizza for dinner, not so bad.
What a pretty dress. And congratulations on finishing a UFO.

Gasps of horror were heard from BBC bigwigs at the Cambridge Television Convention last month when the Observer columnist Melanie Phillips described the central character, Edina, as a bad role model mother because she rolled around drunk in the gutter. Will Wyatt, managing director of BBC Television, took her on one side to explain the joke: the sensible daughter had adopted the mother's role.
That's not my grouse: I've just found the hopeless incompetence of Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) too far-fetched to be truly funny the second time around.
Their stab at a holiday in France last week, which consisted of Edina rushing around frenetically and then visiting a vineyard to get drunk, required such a huge suspension of belief that I felt strained. And would two fashion industry types really not understand one word of French? With Lynne Franks (thought by some to be the inspiration for Edina) stepping down from her PR agency, perhaps an ephemeral era has already passed into history.
The series was a huge hit for BBC 2 last year, attracting record audiences. This is heresy . . . but will the new series, planned for mainstream BBC 1, be quite so in tune with the times?

There are times when one has to wonder who The L Word creator and executive producer Ilene Chaiken thinks the target audience is for the show. With the lesbian Turkish oil wrestling in this "Lesbians Gone Wild" episode, surely this one was for the heterosexual male rather than the average lesbian.
Spoiler alert as we wrestle this one to the mat.
I have heard Laurel Holloman (Tina) say that the movie making process for "Les Girls" is a good display of what working in Hollywood is like. That might explain a lot of what ends up on the real silver screen if Jenny is anything like a real director. Jenny is a far cry from what a director should be. This episode really showcases how her stars and staff don't respect her as a leader.
Does Nikki see her as her boss? Hardly. However, she does see Jenny as the mother of her children. (And how weird is that?)
When Nikki has goes off to do some oil wrestling with the SheBar women, even Tina has to urge Jenny to get Nikki back. Of course, that leads to a whole lover wrestling scene.
Sidebar: Phyllis' daughter Molly sure got into it. Hmmm. Shane — the Fonzie of lesbians — may be getting a toaster oven soon. It does not matter that Molly says she's totally straight.
Of course, the whole situation with Nikki going to SheBar started with Adele's suggestion that she go. Who is Adele and why is she out to sabotage Jenny's movie? Max, where are you? We need you to figure this one out.
Kudos to Kit for slapping back at SheBar, "Hello, Los Angeles Police Department? I want to report a nightclub serving alcohol to minors." There's more than one way to rat out a rat, eh Kit?
Nice play on the real world of television with Alice sitting in on a talk show — "The Look" — so very much like "The View" and guest hosting for someone who sounds a bit like Rosie O'Donnell. How aggrevating that the hosts/producer of "The Look" want the "right kind of gay" to boost ratings. Please tell me Alice isn't going to out people for ratings though. Don't do it, Alice! "Fun gay"? No way! Don't do it for the job.
It was fun to see Alice take on Tina though. It does, after all, seem like a lot of people are stepping back into the closet when it is convenient.
In regards to Tasha's case, is it just me or did Kelly McGillis (as the colonel brought in to prosecute Tasha's case) look like Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer (who was discharged from the army after admitting she was a lesbian)? Something tells me that wasn't an accident. Yet it seems so ironic.
Great to see Tina and Bette sneaking away for some time together while on the set of "Les Girl." Was it jealousy on Bette's part? I don't think they are both on the same page with their relationship. And can you imagine what the blow up is going to be like when Jodi discovers what's really going on, especially after telling her ex that everything is great with Bette. However, the ex coming back into the scene may be the way Jodi and Tina are able to break apart.
When Bette does get together with Jodi, it seems clear that Bette has Tina on her mind. She may have been in bed with Jodi, but she was taking care of things herself.
Finally, I've been doing some research on the show and have stumble upon some information that Helena isn't coming back. Guess we'll have to wait it out to see if this really is true, but if it is, one has to wonder why all the secondary characters drop off the show like they do?

Egypt Military Court Gives Five Palestinian Fisherman Year in Jail
The men sentenced for illegally crossing without permits to the Egyptian waters in North Sinai, bordering Israel and Gaza.
An Egyptian military court on Wednesday sentenced five Palestinian fishermen to a year in jail for illegally crossing into Egypt's territorial waters, Egyptian security sources said.
"The court had arrested five Palestinians recently for crossing without permits to the Egyptian waters in North Sinai (that borders Israel and the Palestinian Gaza enclave)," one security source said. The source said each of the fishermen was also fined 500 Egyptian pounds ($730).
It was not clear when the incident took place, according to another security source in Sinai.
The event comes at a sensitive time after the Egyptian army ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last July. Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, is an offshoot of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood group.
The relationship between Egypt's army-led authorities and Hamas deteriorated sharply this month after Egypt escalated a crackdown on cross-border smuggling tunnels between its volatile Sinai desert and Gaza.
Egypt's state media this month accused Hamas of being involved in training Islamists in Egypt how to plant bombs and that it had given them landmines - an accusation dismissed by the Palestinian group as an attempt to demonize it.
Egypt is carrying out a military operation against Islamist militants in Sinai, which has experienced a security vacuum since the fall of autocratic Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak after an uprising in 2011.

During the week I am very busy, so I like to have a rest on weekend. I am not an early riser and it is a rare Saturday or Sunday when I get up before 9 o'clock. I enjoy staying in bed, when I don't have to hurry anywhere. If the weather is fine, I usually do not stay indoors, I and my dog go outside. Often we go to the park and play there. If the weather is rainy and gloomy, I stay at home and watch TV, listen to the music, read the books. When I don't feel like having fun I prefer to go to the sports club or swimming pool. And there I have a real rest.

Buckwheat kasha
Type | Porridge |
Main ingredients | Cereal (buckwheat, wheat, barley, oats, millet or rye) |
Cookbook: Kasha Media: Kasha |
In the English language, kasha is a term for the pseudocereal buckwheat. In Central and Eastern Europe, especially in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Poland, kasha is a dish made of any kind of grains boiled in water or milk, possibly with additives, i.e., a porridge.
The largest gross consumption per capita is in Russia, with 15 kg (33 lb) per year, and Ukraine, with 12 kg (26 lb) per year.[1] The share of buckwheat in the total consumption of cereals in Russia is 20%.[2]
This English-language usage probably originated with Jewish immigrants, as did the form קאַשי kashi (technically plural, literally translated as "porridges").[3]
The word generally refers to roasted whole-grain buckwheat or buckwheat groats.[citation needed] However, in Slavic Europe, it refers to porridge in general and can be made from buckwheat or any cereal wheat, barley, oats, millet and rye. At least 1,000 years old, kasha is one of the oldest known dishes in Central European and Eastern European cuisine.[4]
In Russian, buckwheat is referred to formally as гречиха (grechikha) and buckwheat grain and buckwheat groats as гречневая крупа (grechnevaya krupa). Informally buckwheat grain and buckwheat groats are called гречка (grechka), and the porridge made from buckwheat groats is known as гречневая каша (grechnevaya kasha). In Polish, buckwheat porridge is referred to as kasza gryczana. Annual (2013) per capita consumption of groats in Poland is approx. 1.56 kg (3.4 lb) per year (130 g (4.6 oz) a month).[5]
In Russian culture[edit]
Kasha is one of the most popular Russian national dishes, the second after shchi.[original research?] Kasha is commemorated in the Russian saying, "щи да каша – пища наша" (shchi da kasha – pishcha nasha) literally "shchi and kasha are our food" or, more loosely, "cabbage soup and porridge are our kind of food".
Kasha can be used at any meal, either as a dish in itself, or a side dish. They are cooked from a great variety of grains and their derivatives. There are three main types of Russian kasha: liquid, viscous and thick. The most loved in Russia is crumbly kasha seasoned with butter. Hence the Russian saying, "you'll never spoil kasha with a lot of butter".[6] The most common additives for kasha are dairy products - milk, thick sour milk, sour cream, curd and cream.[7]
In Jewish culture[edit]
As an Ashkenazi-Jewish comfort food, kasha is often served with onions and brown gravy on top of bow tie pasta, known as Kasha varnishkes.[8] Kasha is a popular filling for knishes[9] and is sometimes included in matzah-ball soup.[citation needed]

I've got to chime in on the Alex Marshall love. He was snarky. He was smarmy. He was amoral. He was so much fucking fun! Quinn Redeker played him to perfection (and he married a string of bitches like a bitched up Mary Anderson, Renee Dumonde, & Emma Marshall... hmmm... I'm seeing a different trend, here, too...). Alex is still alive out there somewhere because they wrote him out in the late 1980s by sending him to prison for setting fire the the Salem Inn to collect the insurance money. |

The title of this photo-journal doesn't really speak to the topic they cover. It's more about how lower or higher levels of insulin affect our weight.
Interesting. But just further proves that nobody knows what they are talking about when it comes to weight loss. Every new discovery contradicts the last!

But it's interesting that they are saying that the multiple meals keep our insulin levels elevated - steady, yes, but elevated - and that makes us store more fat. So even snacks between meals can be responsible for this effect. And this actually makes sense when you think of how society has gone from a 3 square meals a day regimen to munching all the time (and on high calorie crap, too).

What's missing from that article is actual human research.
Meal frequency has been studied in humans - and no direct effect on body mass has been found. In other words, if fewer meals helps
limit calorie intake because of satiety/less overall hunger/etc., then it can be relevant. But because meal frequency has no direct effect on energy balance and weight loss, then everyone is free to eat in whatever pattern is most effective for them personally - whatever helps minimize their hunger, reduce total energy intake, maximize exercise performance, and overall mood.
See, e.g.,:
Effects of meal frequency on metabolic profiles and substrate partitioning in lean healthy males.
The higher rise and subsequently fall of insulin in the LFr diet did not lead to a higher fat oxidation as hypothesized.
The LFr diet decreased glucose levels throughout the day (AUC) indicating glycemic improvements. RMR and appetite control increased in the LFr diet, which can be relevant for body weight control on the long term.
Increased meal frequency does not promote greater weight loss in subjects who were prescribed an 8-week equi-energetic energy-restricted diet.
However, there were NS differences between the low- and high-MF groups for adiposity indices, appetite measurements or gut peptides (peptide YY and ghrelin) either before or after the intervention. We conclude that increasing MF does not promote greater body weight loss under the conditions described in the present study.
Compared with nibbling, neither gorging nor a morning fast affect short-term energy balance in obese patients in a chamber calorimeter
CONCLUSIONS: In the short term, meal frequency and a period of fasting have no major impact on energy intake or expenditure
Meal frequency and energy balance.
More importantly, studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly-labelled water to assess total 24 h energy expenditure find no difference between nibbling and gorging. Finally, with the exception of a single study, there is no evidence that weight loss on hypoenergetic regimens is altered by meal frequency. We conclude that any effects of meal pattern on the regulation of body weight are likely to be mediated through effects on the food intake side of the energy balance equation.
Frequency of feeding, weight reduction and energy metabolism.
There was no significant effect of the feeding frequency on the rate of weight loss, fat mass loss or fat-free mass loss. Furthermore, fat mass and fat-free mass contributed equally to weight loss in subjects on both gorging and nibbling diet. Feeding frequency had no significant effect on SMR after two or four weeks of dieting. The decrease in SMR after four weeks was significantly greater in subjects on the nibbling diet. 24 h EE and DIT were not significantly different between the two feeding regimens.
Effect of the pattern of food intake on human energy metabolism.
EE in free-living conditions was measured over the 2 weeks with doubly-labelled water (average daily metabolic rate, ADMR). The three major components of ADMR are basal metabolic rate (BMR), diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and EE for physical activity (ACT). There was no significant effect of meal frequency on 24 h EE or ADMR. Furthermore, BMR and ACT did not differ between the two patterns. DIT was significantly elevated in the gorging pattern, but this effect was neutralized by correction for the relevant time interval. With the method used for determination of DIT no significant effect of meal frequency on the contribution of DIT to ADMR could be demonstrated.

Yeah, science has debunked this. Look up "insulin, an undeserved bad reputation." Also, do some research on intermittent fasting. I recommend it.
I was skeptical because I believed the myth for so long. I put it to the test with great results. Some days I only eat one large meal. It has made no difference in my weight loss. I am actually outpacing what the calories show I should have lost by now.
Consume whatever foods you prefer, whenever you prefer to consume them, while ensuring nutrient sufficiency and meeting caloric goals.

@Diablo360X I love that quote. It sums up all "dieting". I was laughed at when I used the words, "lifestyle change" but I really wanted to start eating better. Don't get me wrong I do take the easy way out during lunch a lot of times and buy a healthy choice frozen meal, but I make a fresh salad every morning, I've tried eating more fish, decreased my portion sizes, eat at least two fruits a day and if I go out to a restaurant I look at the menu and nutrition facts prior in order not to go crazy. I'm changing and if I don't lose another pound at least I'll feel better. Thanks for that.

It has been estimated that 80% of excess calories Americans consume come from snacks. Americans do not need to be encouraged to eat between meals. It is already our downfall.
Johnson concluded that extra insulin produced in the normal mice by the high-fat diet caused their obesity, which strongly suggests that mice – and, by extension, humans – may make more insulin than they need.
Keep in mind that fat is not a normal part of the mouse diet, so it was only normal that healthy mice fed fat would become obese.
Fat is, however, a part of the human diet, one which our digestive system is able to use for energy as the lean mice did, at least provided there is not an excess of total calories.
If minimizing insulin production is potentially healthy for mice, and minimizing insulin production in humans has the potential for being healthier than maximizing insulin production, an obvious conclusion they tiptoed around would be that humans should eat a moderate or lower carbohydrate diet to minimize production of insulin. I guess that would have been too iconoclastic, or perhaps the research was funded by agribusiness, which makes their profit by processing a few pennies worth of wheat and selling it to consumers for big bucks.
One thing that the research did not support or even address was the idea that this will lead to a pill people can take to end obesity. The reporters probably felt the story would get more readers if they threw that in.
