My family had x-mas last night because the kittens of my human family were out of town for their actual x-mas. When they came, I got lots of love. They were really gentle of my legs, because I have bad joints in my old age. It was nice. I got a lot of pettings and some new treats and new toys for around the house. No extra food, though. I asked Santa-Claws for it but he must not have heard. Next x-mas I'll have to meow louder.
Oh, I did manage to climb the tree last night and I nearly got a hold of a bow that I could play with. Then the older of the two human kittens picked me up and took the bow away. That's okay, though. I gave her paws a good cleaning over it.
I can't wait until the tree comes out again next year. =^.^=
My name is Georgia. My family got me from another nice family, but the boy couldn't keep me because of allergies. That's okay, though, because I have no problem with shedding at this house.
My family got me when I was 21 pounds, 6 years old and a scared cat. They had a dog. One of those things that thinks they're your friend no matter what you do and need to be put in their place. I decided my place was in the basement rafters.
For a month, my humans tried every possible means of coaxing me out from the rafters in the basement. Finally, I accepted and made my way upstairs, where I began exploring. I became a decently social cat who let my humans sleep with me, Told my humans to give me food off their plates, and let my humans know it was okay for them to pet me...NOW!
Now I'm 18 years old, still about 17 pounds and a sick kitty. I'm much older than anyone thought I would get and I have developed Kidney Failure. My humans are trying their best to keep me around and I"m enjoying the attention and the time I have to relax around the house. My mommy says I meow a lot more than I used to. That's true, but I'm old and I demand attention, darn-it.

I recently had an Invisalign consultation. I was told that I would be an express case and would require 9 trays on the top and bottom. The clincheck showed that I would still have gaps on my upper, believe between 5-6 and 11-12. Is this common?
I believe my doctor tagged the case as an express prior to sending out. But if it wasn't an express case, wouldn't the Invisalign clincheck come back with a longer time period? Is it common to need porcelain after the Invisalign is complete? My gaps aren't that large, but noticeable.

Baldwin-Whitehall School District hires newly resigned board member at $120K a year
A longtime Baldwin-Whitehall school board member has become one of the district's highest-paid employees.
Martin Michael Schmotzer, 57, of Whitehall started on Wednesday in a new position that pays $120,000 a year, the third-highest salary in the district. His title: supervisor of projects for the school directors and special assistant to the superintendent.
No other public school in the state has an employee with that title, but there are six special assistants to superintendents, and 50 assistants to superintendents particular to instruction, Pennsylvania Department of Education records show for 2011-12.
Moments after he quit the board on Tuesday night, his colleagues hired Schmotzer in a 7-1 vote, giving him a five-year contract.
Schmotzer did not return calls seeking comment.
"We were looking at who could most step into that role and start efficiently doing that job on day one," said board President Larry Pantuso. "Time is of the essence. ... He certainly has the ability to get things done."
Schmotzer's term was set to expire at the end of the month, though he won another four-year term set to start in December. He did not submit a resumé, nor was he interviewed, Pantuso said. The job was not advertised. The hiring was not on the board's agenda.
Long involved in Democratic Party politics, Schmotzer has been on the school board off and on for 27 years. He was a state House member for eight months in 2012, filling the unexpired term of Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner, who resigned.
He was a member of Wagner's transition team for the county office.
Making a paid position for a board member might pose a conflict of interest if that person voted to do so or was involved in his or her hiring process, said Robert Caruso, executive director of the Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission.
"If they didn't advertise the position, and they didn't conduct any interviews, you might wonder how the selection process was and whether that particular board member was a part of that selection process," Caruso said.
Schmotzer owns BABS and Associates, a direct mail and consulting company.
His appointment to the new job was legal, district solicitor Bruce Dice said.
"They're not required to be advertised. They can create a position at any time," he said.
The board considered Schmotzer's tenure as a school director to be a substitution for a job interview, Pantuso said.
In 1996, Schmotzer was charged with the theft of $50,000 from public accounts in the Allegheny County Clerk of Courts office while working as chief deputy for then-Clerk Joyce Lee Itkin. He repaid the money. A judge tossed out one theft charge when Schmotzer pleaded guilty. Court delays prompted a state appellate court to dismiss his convictions on four other theft counts. Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Manning ordered his record expunged in 2006.
Having Schmotzer move from director to employee should not be cause for concern, Dice said.
"Absolutely not," Dice said. "It's done frequently across the commonwealth."
The state's Public School Code prohibits school directors from working for the district they are elected to serve, said Tim Eller, spokesman for the Education Department. But if someone resigns from a director's seat, there's nothing to prevent him or her from assuming a paid position.
Schmotzer's office is in the school board meeting room at the administration building, Superintendent Randal Lutz said.
The board's special meeting was advertised on Saturday. Board member Tracy Macek voted against hiring Schmotzer.
"I believe that my vote speaks for itself," Macek said.
Schmotzer will help draft a five-year strategic plan, review policies and act as an intermediary between local and state government officials, Pantuso said.
"Nothing is ever noneducational," Lutz said. "If it's noneducational, like a budgetary item, then it still affects education in some way."
Baldwin-Whitehall is among the largest school districts in the South Hills, with a $69 million budget and about 4,000 students.

Is aloe vera a protein? Cause I tried FOTE, and my hair had an immediate reaction, like a sudden hardness, and I couldn't get my fingers thru it. I RUSHED to rinse it out! That's exactly how my hair reacts to protein, so I was just wondering.
Aloe vera contains protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamins A, B12 and E, essential fatty acids and is naturally rich in:
Vitamin C which helps maintain tone of blood vessels and promotes good circulation and is essential to the health of the adrenal gland which supports our body in times of stress.
Amino acids which are chains of atoms constructing protein in our body.
Enzymes, which are the life-principle in every live, organic atom and molecule of natural raw food, rejuvenate aged tissues and promote healthy skin.
Germanium which is a mineral that some health authorities claim therapeutic benefits for: immunodeficiency, pain, cardiac disorders, circulatory disturbances and eye problems.

Category: quirky boys' names
Click here for lots more cool unusual boys' names.
Yesterday we brought you our picks for best cool unusual girls' names; today we look at the best 100 cool unusual boys' names from the master list of names given to 25 or fewer babies last year.
Our criteria: We tried to pull out names that have genuine roots, that are attractive, and that work in the modern world. True name nerds or obsessive name searchers can go to comb through thousands of unusual boys' names from the entire file of all the names used every year stretching back to 1880.
Here's our list of Top 100 unusual boys' names:
When Henry was chosen as the #1 favorite boy's name on the collective 5-star lists of the nameberry community, I was somewhat surprised and yet somewhat not. Because in many ways Henry is the perfect boy's name—as classic and historic as James and John and William –yet with a quirkier edge that makes it seem modern, and even hip.
Henry has a lot going for it. Let us count the ways:
At #78 on the Social Security list last year, Henry was given to fewer than 4,000 boys across the country. It was much more commonly heard in the past, having been #10 in 1900, 12 in the 1910s, 18 in the twenties, 25 in the thirties, then dipping to a low of 146 in 1994, after which it started its edge back up.

Denise Welch reckons the menopause was the best thing that ever happened to her – despite sending her into a spiral of depression.
It can be a tough time for many women and it pushed Loose Women's Denise to the brink – but ultimately saved her life.
She was 49 and had battled depression for more than 20 years. Today she talks for the first time about her darkest days while in BBC school drama series Waterloo Road.
Denise, now 53, says: "Four years ago I was working on Waterloo Road and found I was losing the battle with my illness. The bad times were taking over and I was trying to work through my depression but was mentally and physically worn out.
"I was getting desperate. I've got kids and I didn't think of doing anything silly but I was in a very bad way. Nothing seemed to help, even increasing my anti-depressant dose."
Denise's depression had first taken hold soon after giving birth to her eldest son Matthew, now aged 22.
On the very day in 1989 when she and actor husband Tim Healy took baby Matthew home, Denise became overwhelmed by feelings of despair. But while many women come through post-natal depression, her illness refused to go away. Over the next two decades, bouts of depression blighted her life and put her marriage under serious strain as Tim struggled to cope with her extreme moods.
At times it was so severe it made her unable to get out of bed, and at its worst saw her trying to jump out of a window and a moving taxi.
When extra anti-depressant pills failed to help, Denise, who has another son Louis, 10, became convinced her illness was hormonally triggered.
Denise says: "People had always said that if you suffered from post-natal depression then the menopause would be a time it could trigger it again, because your body is going through the same hormonal chaos.
"So I think when I started feeling very bad again four years ago that was the start of my menopause, and my doctor agrees with me."
With Denise at rock bottom, she was desperate to find someone who could help her. But everywhere she turned she drew a blank. Her mood grew darker and darker.
She says: "I was about to go to America in the hope I might find someone there who could treat me because for years I had been pushed aside and told this wasn't hormonal and I was being ridiculous. But then I heard about a specialist called Professor John Studd so I went to see him. He quickly discovered I was almost completely deficient in oestrogen. When he prescribed it for me, alongside the low-dose anti- depressants I was taking, everything got better."
For Denise, it was almost like a miracle.
She says: "Now I think that episode of depression had been the start of my menopause. My periods had become intermittent, I didn't have hot flushes but I just felt warmer generally – which is great when you live in the north!
"I'm through it now. My periods have stopped. But at the time it was hard to recognise whether it was 'the change' or not. I think the hormone treatment masked the symptoms of the menopause but at the same time it finally conquered my depression.
"If the menopause hadn't triggered another bout of depression I may never have gone to see Professor Studd, who transformed me.
"So you could say that the menopause saved my life. Incredibly, it has been the best thing that ever happened to me.
"I can honestly say that in the past few weeks I have felt a very obvious shift in my mood.
"As someone with clinical depression, I'm always nervous about saying I'm 'happy' – just in case I suddenly have a panic attack and it all goes wrong again.
"But for the first time in 23 years I am not scared of my depression any more. I've had my longest stint without an attack – 16 months now.
"I will always talk about myself as someone who suffers from mental illness, not someone who DID suffer, but the menopause seems to have righted the hormonal imbalance that had set it all off after Matthew was born."
Ex-Coronation Street star Denise, who lives in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, told in yesterday's Mirror how she feared she might lose her husband of 23 years when he was rushed to hospital in August for surgery for blocked arteries.
His recovery, and winning her fight against depression, has also left her feeling closer to Benidorm star Tim and less likely to lose herself in booze.
She says: "I do feel so much calmer and at one with myself and that has allowed me to be so much more appreciative of my marriage – which has coincided with me getting the old Tim back after that terrible fear that I might lose him.
"Since I've started feeling so well I've said to myself: 'Why were you drinking so much?'"
And that is why Denise says she is ready to calm down her partying.
She says: "I've decided I'm going to start drinking more responsibly. OK, I may still occasionally get drunk but I won't do it often. I just feel a bit liberated.
"Because I've got a party reputation, people do try and persuade me and in the past I've been easily led. I want to be more in control of how I'm seen in the press – how I'm 'papped'. There have been occasions when I've been snapped and I've only had one drink but I'm still made to look like 'Drunk Spice' and that might still happen but I will know I wasn't p*****!
"I don't want the public to think I've turned into Mary Poppins or Mother Teresa because I love a party but I now want to bemore responsible.
"Up until recently I would be the person who would go 'I can't go to that because I know I'll get too drunk and won't be able to do that tomorrow,' but now I can go, have a few drinks and be fine. I recently spent a week in the Bahamas with friends, had a wonderful time and wasn't drunk once.
"I've even got videos of me putting my friends to bed, which I'll have to show on Loose Women as evidence!
"I just feel it's better for the whole family this way.
"There's a spring in my step these days and my kids are enjoying me being happier and more in control.
"I don't want people to think I was out of control in front of my kids – I wasn't – they can just see I'm feeling better in myself."
Denise's new-found emotional stability and positivity means she now feels ready to take on new work challenges.
She says: "I'm not religious but I am a great believer in positive thinking and already projects I wanted are starting to circle around me.
"I am an award-winning actress – I don't say that in an arrogant way – but I am and now I realise that my behaviour has been at odds with that.
"I love doing Loose Women but it is a while since I have done a drama and I think that's because I'm not seen in that light.
"I have to earn respect as an actress again.
"And I'm very excited because next year I am going back to the theatre for the first time in seven years. I'm going to be playing Truvy in Steel Magnolias – Dolly Parton's part in the film – alongside Cherie Lunghi, Isla Blair and Kacey Ainsworth.
"I haven't toured for 20 years because of having kids but I really wanted to do this.
"When we're in the North I can go home, so I talked to Tim and Louis and they both said 'We really want you to do it.'
"I need to be an actress again. I need to be on stage again for my own sanity."

Peter's Saigon-Biloxi Shrimp
In 1975, Peter Nguyen's family left Vietnam and traveled a circuitous route, landing wherever church groups and missions offered housing to refugees—Guam, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Texas, Louisiana, and finally Biloxi, Mississippi. Like hundreds of others, they were drawn to the familiarity of fishing. Working as hands or headers, cutters or gutters, families like the Nguyens labored as French, Polish, and Slavic immigrants did before them.
Language barriers and suspicion from the local community made it hard to earn enough to live, much less to realize the dream each father had for his son: owning a boat of his own. But when he was 20, Mr. Nguyen made his father proud. The 1990s brought rich harvests that commanded high prices. Then in 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated piers and boats, and, like many, Mr. Nguyen could not afford to rebuild and fish again. He went to work at the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium. Vietnamese fishers make up 70 percent of the state's shrimp industry, and Mr. Nguyen translates their concerns to the consortium, which is working to maintain Mississippi's fishing industry.
When it comes to Gulf shrimp, Mr. Nguyen is a true believer. "You won't get better, sweeter-tasting shrimp anywhere else. You do a recipe with Gulf shrimp and some other shrimp. Same recipe, different shrimp. You see with your own eyes, taste with your own mouth which is better." This recipe he just "made up" based on memories, and it has become a family favorite.
2 1⁄2 pounds extra colossal Gulf shrimp
(about 10 per pound)
1⁄3 cup palm or granulated sugar
1⁄4 cup fish sauce
1⁄4 cup fresh lime or lemon juice
1⁄4 cup minced fresh Thai basil, mint, or cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 to 2 Thai chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1. Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell
of each shrimp and remove the dark vein. Run your
forefinger between the shell and flesh of each shrimp,
separating but not removing shell from flesh.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, fish sauce, lime
juice, basil, oil, garlic, and chiles together until
the sugar is dissolved. Place shrimp and marinade
in a large zipper-top plastic bag. Squeeze out the
air, seal, and shake to coat the shrimp evenly.
Refrigerate for 4 hours, turning the bag every
30 minutes.
3. To cook the shrimp, heat a charcoal or gas grill
to high. Remove the shrimp from the marinade.
Grill, turning frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes, until
evenly pink and golden on both sides. Serve,
passing a bowl for the shells at the table.

In focusing on Latinos, it is the intention of this presentation to concentrate on a group whose growing numerical significance in the United States is undeniable. Over the last 10 years, the Latino population in the United States has grown 58% to reach over 35 million, with Latinos representing one in eight of all Americans. The potential language barriers faced by Latino populations are also significant. The Census 2000 Supplementary Survey estimates that over 44 million Americans over the age of five speak a language other than English at home, and that for 62% of those 44 million, that language spoken in the home is Spanish.
In addition to their high growth and relative need of language services, working with Latinos--because of the wide variety of their countries of origin--offers a unique opportunity for insights into the interplay of culture and language in the healthcare setting. By specifically addressing language and cultural issues, we hope to learn more about what is needed for providers to effectively ensure equal access to health services for Non-English Proficient and Limited English Proficient populations.

United States Population to Reach 315 Million
Published December 31st, 2012
Loading Video...
The United States population is set to hit three-hundred and 15 million by New Year's Day.
That according to the latest Census Bureau's projections.
It is an increase of less that one percent since April 2010 which was the last time a population snapshot was taken.
The growth is at a slower rate then projected.
The Census Bureau cites low birth rate and immigration rates as reasons for the sluggish growth.
Now, the United States population is set to be nearly four hundred million by 2050.

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've written in my diary! So much has happened since then. My human sister got married last month (September 25, 2010)! Her last name is now Nelson. They have their own kitty now. I haven't met him though. They live about 30 minutes away from us, so we don't see much of them. Mommy says we have to give them "space" to begin their new life together for awhile. I really miss her.
I got to see my human grandparents again when they came for the wedding. I also met two of my human aunts and a cousin, too! There were a lot of legs in the house, so I kind of stayed upstairs where it was quieter a lot of the time.
My mommy had leg surgery in July and has been healing from that for a while. She just went to the doctor and he said they have to wait another 6 weeks before they can take the screws out of the bone. Maybe in early December.
I just want to wish all my friends at Catster.com a very Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you lots of great toys and goodies!
Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I last wrote in my diary! Life has just been soooooo busy! Summer is in full swing and I'm loving every minute of it. Thankfully it has not been too hot out there. My mom & dad went on vacation last month and I stayed home with my dog brother, Jake, my human brother, Patrick, and my human sister, Jennifer. They were gone forever! For two whole weeks! I'm glad they are home now. I really missed them! I wished they could have taken the dog though. He sometimes drives me nuts!

Citation: Coast, G.M., Nachman, R.J., Lopez, J. 2010. The control of Malpighian tubule secretion in a predacious hemipteran insect, the spined soldier bug Podisus maculiventris (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae). Peptides. 32(3):493-499. Interpretive Summary: Because of problems with the development of resistance to conventional pesticides, there is a critical need for new concepts and alternative approaches in controlling insect pests. The basic premise of this research is that neuropeptides (short chains of amino acids) serve as potent messengers in insects to regulate vital functions. New, selective control measures may be developed by designing metabolically stable mimics of these neuropeptides that actively inhibit or over-stimulate functions regulated by them, resulting in disruption of the internal environment of the insect. We report on how neuropeptides regulate the critical processes of water and mineral balance in a beneficial insectivorous stink bug (the spined soldier bug) and compare that with herbivorous stink bug species, pests of cotton and soybean. The work identifies some similarities and some differences between the neuropeptide regulation of water balance in the two types of insects. While the 'CAP2b' neuropeptide class stimulates water loss in flies, it prevents water loss in both herbivorous and insectivorous stink bugs. Conversely, neuropeptides of the 'DH' class stimulate water loss in the insectivorous species to a much greater degree than in the herbivorous species. Maintenance of proper water balance is critical to insect survival and differences between the neuropeptide regulatory systems of the two bugs can be exploited to selectively develop metabolically stable NP-based agents capable of disrupting this important survival mechanism in herbivorous agricultural pests without harm to beneficial insects. The work brings us one step closer to the development of practical neuropeptide-like substances that will be effective in controlling stink bug pests in an environmentally friendly and selective fashion.
Technical Abstract: Spined soldier bugs, Podisus maculiventris, are heteropteran insects that feed voraciously on other insects, particular the soft bodied larval forms of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. The response of P. maculiventris Malpighian tubules (MT) to serotonin and known diuretic and antidiuretic peptides has been investigated, and is compared with that of MT from the hematophagous and phytophagous heteropteran bugs Rhodnius prolixus and Acrosternum hilare, respectively. A CRF-related peptide diuretic hormone (DH) from the termite Zootermopsis nevadensis (Zoone-DH) stimulated MT secretion, which was reversed by a member of the CAP2b family of peptides from A. hilare (Acrhi-CAP2b -2), an antidiuretic effect. Serotonin had no effect on secretion, neither did a representative calcitonin-like DH, kinin, tachykinin-related peptide, and an antidiuretic factor from the mealworm Tenebrio molitor (Tenmo-ADFb) in both P. maculiventris or A. hilare. Serotonin is a DH in R. prolixus, and its lack of effect on MT from P. maculiventris and A. hilare suggests this is an adaptation to hematophagy. On the other hand, the antidiuretic activity of members of the CAP2b family in all three bugs is consistent with this being a heteropteran feature rather than a specialism for hematophagy.

JEFF KNAPP: Anglers count on classic spinners for trout
For many of us, the classic inline spinner represents the first artificial lure on which we duped a stream-dwelling trout, a significant milestone in an angler's progression, one that likely started with the drifting of red worms, meal worms or salmon eggs.
Classic spinners — ones like the Rooster Tail, Blue Fox Vibrax, Panther Martin and Mepps Aglia — have inherent qualities that make them effective trout-getters for tyro and veteran alike. The rookie will benefit from the built-in attraction a simple cast-and-crank presentation provides, as well as sharp, relatively diminutive treble hooks that essentially set themselves. Conversely, the old hand understands the significance of the details, raising spinner fishing to that of a highly efficient search-and-capture approach.
In a vein similar to the largemouth/spinnerbait connection, a key to spinner success is in fine-tuning variables such as size, blade profile and lure finish in relation to the conditions faced.
Spinners most appropriate for stream trout fishing run from size 0 to size 2. A condition that would lean one toward the smaller end of this scale is clear water. Another is the size of the trout being fished for. If the quarry is hand-sized native brookies from a backwoods stream, go small. On the other hand, when the setting is a fair-sized stream flowing strong from early spring rain and snowmelt, it's fitting to use a larger version, which is easier for the fish to see, and more representative of the size food they eat.
Color provides another opportunity for refinement, though personal preference, fueled by the confidence established from past success, is a significant factor. That said, color can make a difference. On the local streams where I learned to fish a spinner, a popular combination was a brown Rooster Tail with a copper blade, particularly for brown trout. The accepted theory was that the color combination suggested a crayfish, a food source browns are especially fond of. This match-the-hatch notion can effectively be applied to white-bodied spinners with silver blades, a finish that mimics many minnow species.
Contrasting colors can help turn the head of a trout, particularly when the water is stained. For example, the bright dots on the black blade of the Mepps Black Fury — another classic trout spinner — might provide the look trout respond to under conditions of marginal clarity.
Treble hooks with a bucktail dressing have the potential to trigger an extra strike or two, the breathing look imparted by water passing through the hair making the difference between a trout eating the bait or turning at the last moment.
How and where you fish a spinner is as least as important as lure details. Think of a spinner as a search tool, one best used to seek out active fish. So fish it in and around feeding lies — areas trout migrate to when in the feeding mode — and also tight to cover, relying on the spinner's powers of attraction to draw fish out. Spots of these natures include the tailout sections of pools; transition zones where a riffle feeds a slower pool; deep, boulder-strewn runs; pocket water alongside riffles; tight to undercut banks; and next to logjams.
The blade of a spinner needs a certain resistance to "bite" against, so don't make casts directly upstream. An exception to this would be in areas where the water is deep and the current slow. Upstream casts allow the lure to get deeper; since the current is comparatively light, the lure can be retrieved at a rate that keeps the blade rotating.
Typically, though, the most productive presentation is one where the cast is angled just slightly upstream, so the bait swings down with the current during the retrieve. Often a trout will hit a spinner at the end of the swing, as it suspends in the flow, so give the bait a second or two at this point, perhaps even jigging it a couple times with the rod tip.
The better spinner anglers put the wear-and-tear on wader soles, covering a lot of stream during a day, firing casts in and across likely lairs, and then moving on.

I like Sony, just not the PS branch of their company. I prefer Sony TVs and audio recievers, actually.
My PS3 is just a bluray player and media center now, but that's just me.
You'd be better off saving for a PS4 if anything, but then you won't get PS3 BC off of disc, or PS2 which PS3 has already disposed of.
Been there, done that, so I'm going Wii U which is already stepping into next gen.

Dozens of insurgents in eastern Afghanistan were killed over the weekend in a battle that ranged on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. American troops working in coordination with Afghan forces, fought a tough battle after militants attacked police. The troops called in for air strikes and helicopters blasted away at the Taliban forces causing at least fifty to be killed while other scurried across the border into the safety of Pakistan. Estimates are that about 2,700 Taliban and al-Qaeda insurgents have been killed since the beginning of the year which increasingly witnesses growth in the power and fighting ability of insurgents.
The fighting over the weekend illustrates fundamental issues in dealing with insurgent forces in Afghanistan. Many will be killed due to fighting on the land and from air attacks, but when all is said and done, the issue of insurgents being able to flee over the border to the safety of Pakistan must at some point be dealt with or there will be no way to resolve the issue of insurgency in Afghanistan.

California P.F. Chang's Affected by Data Breach
It's been about a month since we were told customer credit card data was stolen from P.F. Chang's, and now know how many restaurants were involved and where.
P.F. Chang's is now saying 33 of its restaurants were targeted in a recent data breach.
Several of the restaurants affected are in California.
The restaurant chain says it was alerted in June that its credit card processing system was hacked, and Sacramento-based State Assemblyman Roger Dickinson says the process is taking too long.
He's pushing a bill this final month of the legislative session to incentivize retailers to better protect data by making them responsible for notifying customers more quickly.
"Secondly, that consumers would get direct notification if their data is, or their information is, compromised," he said.
He also wants a remedy for customers who suffer financially due to data breaches.
P.F. Chang's is urging its customers to keep an eye on their accounts for any unusual activity.
Get more information on who might be affected by the P.F. Chang's security breach, here.

Citation: Larson, J.E., Lamb, G.C., Geary, T.W., Stevenson, J.S., Johnson, S.K., Day, M.L., Kesler, D.J., Dejarnette, J.M., Landblom, D.G. 2004. Synchrnonization of estrus in replacement beef heifers using gnrh, prostaglandin f2¿ (pg), and progesterone (cidr): a multi-location study. Journal of Animal Science Supplement 82(1):369. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Our objectives were to determine whether a fixed-time insemination (TAI) protocol could yield similar pregnancy rates to a protocol requiring detection of estrus (EAI) and whether an injection of GnRH at CIDR insertion enhanced fertility. Estrus in 2,077 replacement beef heifers from 12 locations was synchronized and AI occurred after four treatments: 1) a CIDR for 7 d with 25 mg of PG on the day of CIDR removal, followed by detection of estrus and AI during 84 h. Heifers not detected in estrus by 84 h received 100 'g of GnRH and were inseminated (EAI; n = 517); 2) heifers were treated and inseminated as EAI heifers but also received GnRH at the time of CIDR insertion (GnRH+EAI; n = 504); 3) heifers received a CIDR for 7 d with PG on the day of CIDR removal, followed in 60 h by a second injection of GnRH and TAI (TAI; n = 531); and 4) heifers were treated and inseminated as TAI heifers but also received GnRH at CIDR insertion (GnRH+TAI; n = 525). Pregnancy was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasonography on d 30 to35 and blood samples were collected (d '17 and '7, relative to PG) to determine cycling status. Percentage of heifers cycling at initiation of estrus synchronization was 91%. Pregnancy rates among locations ranged from 78 to 100%. Overall pregnancy rates among locations ranged from 38 to 74%. Pregnancy rates were 57.3, 54.5, 53.1, and 49.1% for GnRH+EAI, EAI, GnRH+TAI, and TAI, respectively. Although no differences in pregnancy rates among treatments were observed, the GnRH+EAI treatment most consistently achieved the greatest pregnancy rates. In addition, the GnRH+TAI protocol provides an alternative to estrous synchronize heifers with TAI as an option without detection of estrus.

Sophia Coppola
Stephen Dorff
Elle Fanning
Printer-Friendly version
I like Stephen Dorff, thought he was the man as far back as JUDGEMENT NIGHT and was then convinced he was man once I saw S.F.W. He fell off the radar for a bit and then came back strong as Deacon Frost in BLADE (still waiting on that spinoff yo!) and then again in DEUCES WILD. I actually met the guy at a club in Toronto about five years back and the dude was super cool, he took a picture with me and did a round of Jagerbombs with me, my girlfriend and all our friends. He's the soul of this film and plays a partied out actor in a way I've never seen before. The first ten to fifteen minutes have no real dialogue save for the music being played by twin strippers dancing on poles at the foot of his Dorff's bed (portable stripper poles delivered straight to your bedroom, now that's partying like a rock star baby).
To be honest, there really isn't much dialogue from Johnny Marko at all, he spends most of his alone time boozing, getting wrecked on pills or simply spacing out and looking utterly alone. This is a very depressing look into the potential life of Hollywood actors and actresses and comes off as one of the most real portrayals of bittersweet numbness I've ever seen. The only thing saving Johnny's tormented soul is his eleven year old daughter Cleo (played wondrously by Elle Fanning) and though they don't get the amount of alone time I wanted to see, their chemistry is flawless and so very sincere. Watching Johnny slip out of his trance to watch Cleo ice skating was a truly beautiful scene and certainly made me believe in him as a father.
SOMEWHERE tries to take us on a journey to well, somewhere but unfortunately never gets there. The film has a terrible pace and many scenes seem to just drag on forever. Johnny's downward spiral seems averted when he allows himself to get close to his daughter but then it all comes into question when the film ends the way it does. Clearly this ending can be taken differently and interpreted in numerous ways but I guess I felt like there should have been more, like what I got wasn't really a resolution. This sort of witty insight either works or it doesn't (which totally depends on the viewer) and for me it just didn't.
Previews: There are a total of eight trailers to choose from, none of which are for the feature film.
Extra Tidbit: I even forgive Dorff for being in a Britney Spears video. After all she was smoking hot back then. I sure hope he hit that.

Special Order
One of the decisive battles of World War II (1939-1945) in the Pacific, Iwo Jima was described by Lieutenant-General Holland Smith, Commander Fleet Marine Forces Pacific, as "The most savage and most costly battle in the history of the Marine Corps" - a titanic struggle that eclipsed all that had gone before. Situated halfway along the B-29 Superfortress route to the Japanese mainland, the island was of major strategic importance to the US Air Force, but also to the Japanese, 20,000 of whom were deeply entrenched in the island. This book provides a definitive account of the battle, from its origins to its hard-fought conclusion.
About the Author
Derrick Wright is the author of 'Tarawa: A Hell of a Way to Die' (Windrow & Greene, 1997) and 'The Battle for Iwo Jima' (Sutton, 1999). His interest in the Second World War started in childhood, as he grew up in the Teeside area which was subjected to so many bombing raids. After National Service with the Army, he became an engineer specialising in Ultrasonics. Retired, he lives with his wife on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. He has four daughters.


text: Hey... Went to the Subaru dealer and inquired about the 30,000 mile service, and they said that they would put in synthetic oil and tranny fluid if I wanted. The person who owned it before never put synthetic oil in it, so would it be ok to start now? I have about 31,000 miles on it. I always used Mobil 1 on my other cars so that is what I would like to have in the car....also, does synthetic tranny fluid help smooth the shifting that much? I have read around and heard that it helps a bit, but was wondering if that is something that I should do while I get it serviced. If anyone knows what kinds of fluids there are or what ones tend to work better than others, that would be great. Thanks!

Fried brussels sprouts salad at Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop
This hedonistic anti-salad earned chef Sheldon Simeon a place on Season Ten of Top Chef. Simeon has moved on, but the irresistible dish remains. Brussels sprouts' leaves are fried into crispy, unctuous curls and tossed with celery leaves, radish wheels, and mint. The sugary, burnt orange dressing complements the sprouts' bitter char.

i have a problem with this website
for some reason i always get automatically logged off every 5 minutes or sometimes even quicker.. am i the only one who experiences this?
Ive never had it automatically log me off in the whole time i've been here. That being said I have it set to remember me so I very rarely need to log in.
that Remember Me thing doesn't work for me either, it happens more on my phone than on my computer
Sorry I cant be of more help... perhaps someone else has encountered that problem and has a fix?
just have to wait and see i guess,, might be a problm on my end
Same here. Surprised I haven't brought it up before. If I'm unactive for 5 minutes, I have to log myself on again. Wish I picked a smaller name now haha. Remember Me does nothing. If I'm right it's a problem with cookies but can't fix it (although havent REALLY tried).
Yeah probably the same for me. I'll fuk about to see if I can fix it.
EDIT: It keeps me logged on when I take off "Delete Browsing History" so I'm guessing that's the problem. I don't want to get caught watching babysitters get caught masturbating and then subsequently blackmailed into oral, conventional then anal sex in exchange for the silence of her employer regarding her parents...so I think I'll keep that feature turned on.
I used to have the issue but I just checked the remember me box and its never happened again. :dunno:
I have never had any problems with staying logged in. With my work PC, my laptop or my phone it keeps me logged in at all times.

|Performance and Accountability Report Fiscal Year 2008
Other Accompanying Information
Management and Performance Challenges Identified by the Inspector General
Strengthen Information Security
The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires that we annually assess USPTO's efforts to safeguard data processed by its computer systems and networks. The continuing expansion of information technology means federal agencies face ever-increasing challenges in performing their missions while providing for the security of their sensitive information. Since enactment of FISMA in 2002, agencies have spent millions of dollars to improve the security of information on their computer systems and shared via the Internet. Yet weaknesses persist and breaches continue. At USPTO, IT security is a material weakness under the Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act.
The system security certification process is supposed to provide officials with complete, accurate, and trustworthy information on a system's security status so they can make timely, credible, risk-based decisions on whether to authorize operation. Our FISMA review of USPTO's certification and accreditation (C&A) packages continues to find weaknesses. Two USPTO packages were available for our FY 2008 review—one for an agency system and one for a contractor system. Both lacked sufficient evidence to confirm that operational and technical controls are in place and operating as intended, leaving certification agents and authorizing officials without adequate information about remaining vulnerabilities. Therefore, we recommend that USPTO again report IT security as a material weakness.
We did find, however, that USPTO is working more effectively than in past years to improve the C&A process, so we increased the rating of the quality of the process to satisfactory in our FY 2008 FISMA report. USPTO is participating with the Department in the adoption of the Cyber Security Assessment and Management (CSAM) tool, which should provide consistency and repeatability in C&A as well as management visibility into the process. The agency plans to fully use CSAM in FY 2009. Other improvements include achieving better compliance with NIST's C&A guidance; implementing improved control assessment methods and tools; redefining system boundaries to strengthen security management; and providing independent review of all C&A packages to identify weaknesses.
USPTO needs to continue its improvement efforts and demonstrate results in better C&A packages.

Is there a question about what the USPTO can or cannot do that you cannot find an answer for? Send questions about USPTO programs and services to the USPTO Contact Center (UCC). You can suggest USPTO webpages or material you would like featured on this section by E-mail to the firstname.lastname@example.com. While we cannot promise to accommodate all requests, your suggestions will be considered and may lead to other improvements on the website.

Todos Juntos provides local youth a weekly summer program culminating in a pizza party
Combining comic art and skate park preparation, Todos Juntos' summer program for local youth kicks off Monday, Aug. 1.
Middle and high school-aged students from Eagle Creek and Estacada are invited to free weekly activities at Wade Park from 1-4 p.m. every Monday in August.
Each week, the activities rotate between creating comic art and designing a temporary painted sign for Estacada's future skate park.
Todos Juntos will supply art materials and snacks.
According to Raynell Flohr, site coordinator for Todos Juntos in Estacada, each week youth participate, they will receive tickets to enter in a drawing for a skateboard.
'It gives kids an opportunity to buy ownership in the new skate park,' Flohr said. 'We're encouraging good use of the park, to not leave an opportunity for bad elements.'
As for the comic art and illustration, youth will create their own art under the tutelage of Eric Thompson, a Reynolds High School teacher and professional cartoonist.
Flohr recalled a time she asked a group of youth what they were doing with their summer. They responded they were walking around, and she thought 'it was a shame.'
The Todos Juntos summer program is intended to curb aimless summer wandering, keeping kids creative and busy during their months off from school.
Flohr spoke about the significance of local adults investing in children's lives as opposed to giving them money to spend in their summer free time.
'They know they're cared for,' Flohr said about youth participating in programs with strong adult involvement.
Four adults will oversee the August program, and the Estacada Parks and Recreation department will provide guidance for tending the skate park grounds.
The program concludes at the end of August with a pizza party featuring a special guest. At this point, the painted temporary sign will go up and leaders will draw from the tickets for the skateboard winner.
Running programs in Canby, Estacada, Milwaukie, Molalla and Sandy, Todos Juntos is a resource for youth that partners with schools, law enforcements, the Clackamas County juvenile department and others.
Its services are available in English and Spanish, with a 'Boys Council,' 'Girls Circle,' special projects and recreation groups -- including LEGO robotics, soccer and Latin folkloric dance.
Beyond programs for youth, Todos Juntos provides parenting classes for families.
For more information about registration, call Yesenia Avalos at 503-421-8881. For further details, call Eric Thompson at 503-853-6815.
