Stomach Flu Vaccine Looks Good in Early Trial
A new vaccine for norovirus – the microbe behind most cases of what people commonly call stomach flu – protected patients against severe vomiting and diarrhea, researchers reported at a meeting called IDWeek that highlights the latest scientific findings on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. In the phase I/II trial, 98 healthy adults were exposed to norovirus. Among patients who received the experimental vaccine, none reported severe vomiting and/or diarrhea. Of the participants who did not receive the vaccine, more than 8 percent reported such symptoms.
URMC, under the leadership of John Treanor, M.D., chief of the Infectious Diseases Division, was one of five study sites that enrolled patients for the trial. Emory, the University of Cincinnati, Baylor and SNBL Clinical Pharmacology Center in Baltimore also enrolled patients. Currently, there is no norovirus vaccine, and researchers hope to begin testing these preliminary results in a real-world setting.
According to the latest reports from the CDC, norovirus was the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the U.S. from 2009 to 2010, even without outcomes reported from cruise ships (Norovirus is often called the "cruise ship virus" because it runs through groups confined in close quarters and there have been several high-profile outbreaks in that setting.)

What fabulous pictures of such a special bird!ReplyDelete
Sadly this story of endangerment is being repeated all over the world too often.
Your rock art is sublime! Maybe you have some bushman genes way way way way back in your DNA. . . . .
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
What a beautifully written post about the endangerment of this bird. I wish we all were more aware of our surroundings and how important it is to take care of things, our land, etc. As it is not just us who live here. That little birdie looks so precious! Your photos are fantastic!!
Have a wonderful week.
gorgeous pictures - I remember when those birds abounded. Time to let them nest and rebound their population.ReplyDelete
What a special post this is. You captured some important and beautiful shots of the dear little bird, and preserved the memory of your day perfectly on that rock.ReplyDelete
Oregonians do not take this issue seriously enough. Personally, I think beaches should be off limits to humans during snowy plover nesting season. . .
Beautiful pictures Lori!xReplyDelete
I love when you paint things onto pebbles.
I was lucky enough to see these while living in CA. I coudn't get over how teeny they are!!ReplyDelete
I was fascinated to learn that they build their nests in footprints we've left in the sand. Sadly though, other folks come along and crush the eggs by following previous footprints.
I'd always stop people from going off the paths and cutting through protected areas. They're the same people who take starfish home! I was the police at Asilomar ;)
Beautiful job on the rocks Lori. Audubon would be proud!
Would you mind emailing me your mailing address? I have a little something to send you ;)
Lovely Lori ... your pics as usual took us along for the hike. And I marvel at your ability to transfer your impressions onto the rocks through your painting. Awesome my friend! Hugs. LReplyDelete
The best you could get .......????!!!ReplyDelete
They are awesome!
So is that web picture, well and all the others too.
What a cute little bird.
Have a nice week Lori!♥
Love the adventure of capturing- without-capturing the snowy bird. Did you paint the stones? They look lovely. I like the naturally textured feel of stone in the background. I see that you wrote a book! Yes, and congratulations, Lori. (Maybe you talked about it but I missed it?)I always thought you should share your creativity in a book. I want to read it. Now...on to the next! I hope included some paintings? Everything seems sunny in your part of the world. So glad to see it. xxReplyDelete
hello lori! my heart started pumping when i realized from my blog roll there will be new lori pictures. what an important message you offer. why are so many of we humans so indifferent to things like this, to the reverence of other species. i know it has something to do with thinking we are the center of the universe! how good to know otherwise. thank you always for the reminder.ReplyDelete
your little rock painting is wonderful. you are a good painter, lori! and does anyone capture the sunlight on the ocean better than you? (nah!)
sending you plenty of extra love for the week,friend.
I have never seen these birds - they are adorable. I love your pictures and your stone art :)ReplyDelete

peaceful and informative post and I love the rock art, even more than the paddles :-)ReplyDelete
just love swingin' by yours...always makes me feel good. your pics are beautiful! and man. love the blueberry post too. lots love lori. x jReplyDelete
I ´ve never heard about this birdies and I will show to my daughter as she loves every kind and species of animals and birds ( except hens that she is very scared of...) . The photographs are fantastic and this lens you used... amazing!ReplyDelete
I love your rock painting art and all those heart shaped rocks.
Have a peaceful week, dear Lori!
oh, and that feather, lori....ReplyDelete
so beautiful.
I adore the Snowy Plovers....I always enjoy their delicate scamperings across the sand, playing "tag" with the ocean waves.ReplyDelete
You KNOW how I feel about all endangered species....one of the many things I miss about not being an employed person is that I can no longer contribute to all the animal organizations..... now, all I can do is blog about them and sign petitions....
The Rock Paintings are gorgeous....as are your photos....
♥ Robin ♥
ohhhh! So adorable! Thank you for educating us on these special little Snowy Plovers.ReplyDelete
Love your rocks too. Annie found a little heart shaped one simular to the one next to your painted ones. And that lens... that is what I call a kick butt lens!
Blogger must have eaten my comment! Anyway, i said what a gorgeous little bird and I agreed with Janet. xx♥ReplyDelete
I know, it's true. To educate ourselves seems to be the only way. Hey I saw some rock art made by the bushmen, awesome. What a great thought.
thank you so much for such a wonderful comment. Awareness is growing, i really hope so. thank you!
thank you very much. i'm hoping to join the local docent program, i think it will help spread the word.
thank you so much. I agree with you. The problem is areas are roped off, but the birds run outside of the ropes to feed at the water line. People and dogs can't help but pass through this corridor and that's when so many get stepped on (nests). The big problem is the birds and humans like the same kind type of beach.
ah thank you sweetie!
That is brilliant! You were a docent! that is what i want to do (it's a kind word for police i think). As soon as i stop working so much i will. We have a great program here.
People who take starfish make me cry. I'm so glad you stopped some.
Thank you so much for your kind words re the small painting. I emailed you :)
thank you so much, i am so glad you enjoyed, it's always my pleasure.
thank you! it was as close as i could get with my lens, so they are a little hard to see. My husband's photos will be awesome, did you see his lens?
Beautiful pictures. Snowy plovers might be protected, but have many predators.ReplyDelete
hi! i appreciate your comment. I didn't write a book, but i did paint the birds. We were lucky on this day, the sun actually came out briefly. We've had weeks of fog.
i believe thats it, what you said. This belief and lack of caring, could be the worse thing there is for all of us and every living thing.
Thanks for all the love friend, i'm ready for the week!
thank you so much! the little snowies are so cute and so small, makes you want to protect them.
haha, thank you! the paddles were fun but a little pressure. the rock just fun!
So happy to see you, i was just listening to Serendipity and thinkin of you. Did you bake the scones??
thank you! i know just how Camila feels, i used to be scared of chickens and geese too...they peck! have a good week too my friend.
i think it was a snowy plover...sweet hey? thank you.
that is a LOT, when people know something they want to take care of it. you are helping because you care so much. thank you for such kind words.
thanks so much, i know if you lived here you'd be protecting them for sure! heart rocks are so much fun to find!
darn blogger! thank you dear! i do appreciate your sweet words.
thank you. that's entirely true, but as their habitat diminishes so do their chance of survival.
i love these sweet little dudes and your wonderful shots of them! but your painting is the best ♡ReplyDelete
"nest in peace" -- priceless!!
i love to watch the beach birds in south carolina where we get a lot of terns - i'll have to check to see if any plovers ever migrate there.....
wishes for a lovely week to you too lori and thanks for your kind comments at my place ♡ xoxo
what beautiful shots, Lori and what a cute little bird! It's terrifying the way so many creatures are losing their habitats and it seems as fast as one group tries to save them, another takes them out.ReplyDelete
This is such a hopeful and sad post at the same time. I just went down to the San Diego Zoo and it was sad to see how many species were on the endangered list simply because they are constantly losing their habitat.ReplyDelete
So sad...yet your sunny outlook and beautiful rock paintings made me feel like it's gonna be okay. :)
Lovely post and beautiful photos.ReplyDelete
I will put the Snowy Plovers on my prayer list. Darling little birds.
Thank you for drawing attention to them. xoxo
Lori do you think I could borrow your husband's lens pleaaaaase ... the things I could see around here with one of those giants.ReplyDelete
I hope the Plovers get the respect they need to keep their numbers up.
Love your little pebble art
Smiles to you*!*
such cute pics of the bird. wow. i need to go to the beach.ReplyDelete
the first photo is of Terns! Least Terns, i really like them too. Thank you for all your kind words, i really appreciate them.
thank you! i love your weavers too, luckily they are doing fine, fabulous birds!
got to remain hopeful, no matter what i think. thank you for the positive words always. we'll keep doing what we can hey?
thank you much, that's hopeful and sweet. Bless your heart.
haha, i can't even lift his lens! it's a monster. But i wish you could see the magnification in it, it's amazing. Thanks so much for the kind words!
the beach is a good place to be! thanks for coming by and for leaving such a nice comment!
hehe ;) I was going to say I bet I'd get the arm shakes trying to lift it*!*ReplyDelete
Awesome pics Lori. The beach and the birds look so beautiful. Hopefully more awareness of their plight will give us the wake up call we need. And their habitat will be respected.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your visits to my blog Lori. I have been totally hopeless at getting around to my bloggy friends recently. I always love hearing from you.
NYC Sept 7-17 (if you happen to venture that way in Sept, you know how to contact me!)
haha, oh you HAVE to use a tripod. I'd love to see the shots you'd get with it!
you'll be leaving soon! so exciting! have a wonderful time. Oh i wish our dates would have lined up. i think i'll be going the last weekend in august, but only for a long weekend. travel safely my friend!
i loved this too...i think those little birds are so darling...i have seen them on the beach in cayucos and morro bay....ReplyDelete
and YES! FOG...in fact as i write this i am sitting in my flannel snowman p.j.'s...it has been so cold...no summer here this year...not so far...
teddy is sitting right here on my shoulder and says HI....
sending love,
kary and teddy
love love love the photos.....ReplyDelete
and Wow look at the size of that lens! That's huge and I imagine difficult to balance.
I always enjoy everything that you share here Lori :)
I hope this comment finds you happy in the sunshine with no signs of fog.
Ps... all those little rocks and your painting are true treasures xReplyDelete
hi teddy! yes that fog is relentless. no summer here either. we were in Santa Barbara today and saw some sun, just a bit. what a strange feeling that was. soon i think right??
ah thank you! the lens takes it's own backpack and weighs a ton, it is not one for me!
the fog is still here. everyday. wet, cold, dreary fog. i like it, just not this much of it. come out sun!
I was so excited to see this post about plovers! And I love the little painting you did and the little heart-shaped rocks all around it!!! So, so sweet. <3ReplyDelete

Katie Holmes was supposed to walk her first red carpet since she and Tom Cruise divorced at this Saturday's Dizzy Feet Foundation gala.
Not that we could blame her, but Ms. Holmes has decided to skip the festivities. Her rep just confirmed that the former Dawson's Creek darling won't be in attendance.
The foundation, which supports dance education throughout the U.S., was started three years ago by Holmes, Nigel Lythgoe, Adam Shankman and Carrie Ann Inaba.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Check out our photos of Katie Holmes (and Suri!) after the split
Saturday's Celebration of Dance will include performances by Glee stars Harry Shum Jr. and Chord Overstreet, former and current contestants from So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With the Stars and the cast of the movie Step Up Revolution. (While the highest price tix went for $400, general admission is as low as $35.)
If you remember, Holmes not only performed on So You Think You Can Dance in 2009, but last year she appeared as a guest judge.
Katie recently took Suri (on a commercial flight!) to visit with her family in Ohio, before returning to New York two days ago.

Blake Shelton and the other judges from The Voice were on Extra yesterday. Then he went out for dinner with Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend. (Ahem, JLO, please take note. You don't have to give the guy a JOB, see?)
Anyway, I'm still high on a country music buzz, especially here at Duana's house since she keeps replaying or singing that Kelly Clarkson song with Vince Gill. Also, PONTOON. Whyyyyyy didn't I know about this song in the summer??? As promised then, whenever we can, we will feature country celebrities, and, in particular, the Country Brange, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.
Someone wrote to me last week to say that one of Blake's contestants on The Voice chose a Chris Brown song to sing. And in the feedback after his performance, Blake was all like, I'm disappointed you chose a Chris Brown song. That dude apparently got cut. True story? If it's a true story, this is badass. As you know, Miranda has also been upfront about her feelings about that piece of sh-t. She was one of the only artists at the Grammys who expressed disgust at Brown's win. TOO FEW celebrities express disgust over Chris Brown's success.

Department of Homeless Services spokesman Chris Miller was on site at the time with some of his staff, and explained that the choice to take the children out to dinner and a movie for the evening was planned to remove the children from the shelter so they wouldn't have to endure the vitriolic atmosphere of the protest.
"We heard [the kids] were feeling pretty bad about what was going on," Miller said.
He also said the trip was paid for out of a recreation budget that is part of the overall budget for every homeless shelter in the city, and the buses were provided by the Department of Education free of charge.
DHS Commissioner Gilbert Taylor also spoke to the press in a closed-door session at the Pan Am, and said of the planned excursion, "It's something that you and I all do and it's something that we need to make sure they are able to do."
Parents and their children, who were eager with anticipation while waiting for their buses, were treated to dinner at a Chinese buffet and then the film How to Train Your Dragon II.
Protests surrounding the shelter have been ongoing since it opened in early July, and have mostly focused on the lack of transparency, as well as Elmhurst residents' concerns regarding safety and impact on property values.
On May 22, DHS Deputy Commissioner Lisa Black said at a public meeting that the Pan Am Hotel would not be able to shelter families since the law requires family residences to include a kitchen and bathroom in every unit. Taylor explained that DHS was able to get around this regulation by bringing in catered meals three times per day for residents.
Indira, a bank teller and long-time Elmhurst resident, was among those at an earlier protest to express concern over the lack of criminal background checks among shelter residents.
"We don't know if they're pedophiles, or if they are coming from prisons. We don't know who they are, we know nothing about these people," she said. "That's the problem. And it's scary."
To those concerns, Taylor said, "The reason we don't screen for things like criminal background is because it's a barrier to shelter."
Some residents at earlier protests also expressed resentment towards shelter residents, who have been characterized as unemployed and leeching on the system. In hopes to dispel this image, Taylor said, "These are people who work, who are trying their best to get back on their feet."
Elmhurst isn't the only community up in arms. In Glendale, residents have been pulling no punches calling for the city to abandon a proposal for a Cooper Avenue shelter, which will be operated by Samaritan Village – the same company that oversees the Pan Am shelter.
Opponents state that an Environmental Assessment Study commissioned by DHS that found no contamination at the former industrial site was flawed.
"There were 21 borings across that site, all of them came back fine," Miller said. "The reason we don't do [these studies in house] is that we don't want a bias. We stand behind our report. We feel it was thorough."
Taylor hopes that residents will come to accept the shelters and their residents sooner rather than later.
"I live on a block that has three homeless shelters, and I didn't know they were shelters until I became the commissioner," he said. "Life goes on."

What's your name again?
I feel like I need to preface this post with the statement that I'm not looking to embarrass or disparage any sponsors. Corporate sponsorship is absolutely critical to the sport of professional (and amateur) cycling. It clearly takes a lot to run a pro cycling team – a delicate balancing act between athletes, sponsors, crew and media.
But these names are making it really really hard for me to cheer for you as you go flying by me.

#TIFF19: Christian Bale, Matt Damon form 'brotherhood' in FORD V FERRARI
FORD V FERRARI stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale, who play American race car drivers Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles respectively, lead an impressive cast in the James Mangold-directed drama set against the 1966 Le Mans 24 hour car race.
Also walking the TIFF red carpet on Monday night at Roy Thomson Hall were The Walking Dead's Jon Bernthal (Lee Iacocca), Outlander's Caitriona Balfe (Molly Miles), Divorce's Tracy Letts (Henry Ford II), and Sweet Home Alabama's Josh Lucas (Ford executive Lee Beebe).
Damon told reporters before the film had its international premiere he took the job "for the chance to work with Christian Bale."
For his part, Bale liked his character's well-rounded nature.
"He was a dad, and he was a husband, who is not a meglomaniac, who is living life at 230 miles an hour not knowing if he can stop at the end of it," Bale told reporters.
"He's someone who's got grit. He was in D-Day. He was in a tank unit, he liberated (Bergen-) Belsun (concentration camp in Germany). He's used to doing everything himself. Building from the ground up. He's a purist, absolutely. It's his saving grace and his Achilles heel and he's somebody who's past his prime. He thinks that he lost his moment. And it takes this friendship, this brotherhood he has with Shelby, to get someone who's able to be strategic and just tell Ken Miles, 'Can you just shut-up,' on occasions so that he can give Ken the opportunity to be the best in the world, which is what he is."
Bale said FORD V FERRARI finds behind the wheel of cars a long way from his first automobile.
"Oh God, it was an old bouncy Buick," the English actor told reporters with a laugh.
PHOTOS: Ford v Ferrari red carpet at TIFF
Matt Damon and Christian Bale star in the real life story about auto racing at Le Mans.
"Shared it with my dad – those bench seats, that was all we could get you know – but bloody hell, that was fun all the less."
Now Bale said he drives a pickup truck but "those Cobras (in the movie), oh were they ever a lot of fun to drive around. We would go and rehearse. We didn't really need to but those things slide so beautifully and predictably and you can just take them around corners, just burning rubber and it's a beautiful thing."
FORD V FERRARI is about an underdog team of American mavericks (Shelby and Miles) who get the Ford Motor Company behind them to go up against Italian auto racers in Le Mans.

I'm still not sure which X2 sizes I should get. I used the classical combos of kites usually: Naish 7.5 - 11.5 - 15.5 or Wipika 11.8 - 8.4 - 6.3 so far.
For lighter winds I use the Flysurfer Warrior 16.5, because I don't like big tubes.
My problem is, what kite sizes should I get. Maybe, you guys out there, can help me.
My thoughts for the X2:
(no size bigger than 16 is rule number 1, no size smaller than 8 is rule number 2)
1.) 16 - 12 - 8
Good classical combo. Problem: I don't like the 7.5 Naish AR5, but I am used to fast kites (Airblast 6.3). When you would need the 8, it would be maybe better to not use an X2 at all (safety).
2.) 16 - 12 - 10
The 12-10 doesn't make sense on the first, but then I would say that when you need a kite smaller than 10, I wouldn't go kiting anymore.
Main kiting spots: Silvaplana with some of the steadiest winds you can get for 16-12 sizes.
I basically only need a smaller size for vacation (mainly Fuerteventura Flagbeach), where winds don't get too strong. How to maximize my time on the water?
My board: Litewave 148 with bindings
Hope you can help me out.

What pregnant woman wouldn't want a real live 3D/4D picture of their unborn baby! This is such an exciting medical advancement, and has only been easily accessable to the public for a few years. While 3D studios can be difficult to find due to new laws regarding these types of procedures, I have found a fabulous facility, A Stork's Studio, in Orange Connecticut.
The facility is located just off the highway in a medical complex. The office is on the first floor (very convenenient for us pregnant women!). The accomodations are friendly and relaxed. The people at A Stork's Studio make a real effort for their customers to be at ease and comfortable at the time of their appointment, from the soft lighting, to the comfortable seating areas and friendly, informative staff. I love that one of the owner's is actually a physician's assistant with decades of experience. This is a very family friendly facility. They can accomodate several family members in the ultrasound room comfortably. Children, spouses, relatives or friends are welcome to join you for this experience.
A little bit more about A Stork's Studio:
* They are affiliated with United Imaging Partners, the largest, fasting growing and most widely respected 3D/4D ultrasound network in the world.
*Their staff includes a medical director licensed in Connecticut and certified obstetric sonographers.
*They only used the finest ultrasound equipment including the GE Voluson System, by far the best 3D/4D imaging system available.
In addition, they adhere to a responsible set of guidelines to ensure that your scan is safe and enjoyable:
*Scan will be held well within the limits that have been proven safe for decades.
*Medical scans will not be performed, but if a medical concern should arise, your healthcare practitioner will be contacted.
*They scan at a frequency level similar to OB's scan to mirror the low levels established by the FDA for fetal use.
*They provide a safe, private and relaxing environment for you and your family.
So what's the process?
It's easy! Call to make an appointment (usually scans are performed between 22 and 34 weeks of your pregnancy). Appointments are made in 1/2 hour increments, but I have never seen a backed up waiting room yet. In fact, I was the only customer there at the time of my appointment. I was great to have personalized attention. You will be given instructions to avoid sugar and caffeine for several days prior to your appointment and to drink plenty of water to ensure ample amniotic fluid for a good picture. Bring with you a 2D ultrasound picture from your regular OB (to verify that current prenatal care is ongoing). That's it! Show up for your appointment and be amazed!
My experience:
I tried out the Extended Plus Appointment, which offers:
- Two 25 – 30 minute 3D/4D imaging sessions
- 2 black and white thermal prints per session
- 2 color 4×6 color prints per session
- Gender determination (if desired)
- One CD with 15+ high resolution 3D photo images appropriate for reproduction per session
- One DVD with 15 minute recording of 2D, 3D, and 4D segments set to music per session
- One year FREE access to Babypeeks, a customized online baby website (Reg $49.95)
I was 26 weeks pregnant at the time of this scan. I was thrilled with my experience and was able to get some fabulous pictures. It was amazing to see the clarity of the picture and the baby moving around in there. At 26 weeks I wasn't sure what kind of pictures to expect, but they are fabulous! I had a great experience even though my baby's hands were in it's face and the cord and placenta were in the way. We were able to use different positions to get the baby to move and achieve some great shots. However, sometimes the baby is just not in a position for good pictures. What happens then? You get to come, free of charge, to try again until appropriate pictures are attained.
What happens if family members can't be at the appointment?
Easy, A Stork's Studio offers Sonostream. A online streaming service that allows up to four computers to watch and hear your ultrasound live! This is a great option for out of state grandparents or family members, or for those serving overseas. Those watching on Sonostream Live will not only be able to watch your ultrasound being performed live, they will also be able to hear everything that is being said.
There is just something so special about seeing your baby in 3D and 4D, compared to a 2D. It really brings the image alive, as the images are so much more realistic than your standard 2D ultrasound. When a 4D ultrasound is performed, you are able to see activities such as yawning, crying, swallowing, blinking and hand movements. What an amazing bonding experience for the whole family!
A 20% discount is offered to all military families. Packages range in price from $95 to $219.
*Stay tuned for a 4 week update, when I will post pictures from my 30 week scan and will compare my earlier experience! It should be fascinating to compare the pictures!
A Stork's Studio is locate in Suite 182 on the first floor of the Medical Center of Orange at 339 Boston Post Road, Orange CT. For more information on 3D/4D ultrasounds or to schedule your appointment call (203) 799-BABY (2229).

Police seize $30,000 in counterfeit perfume from Westgate Mall kiosk
Hundreds of boxes seized, labeled as counterfeit
Brockton police and Department of Homeland Security special agents are seeking criminal charges against a man who they say set up a kiosk in the Westgate Mall to sell counterfeit fragrances.
According to The Enterprise, police plan to charge Mohammad "MD" Talukder, 33, of Brockton, with the sale of counterfeit goods.
Authorities descended on the kiosk on Friday, where they confiscated approximately $30,000 in counterfeit fragrances, according to Officer Scott Uhlman, the city's code enforcement officer.
About 450 boxes of men's and women's perfume, including those labeled as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren Polo and Hugo Boss, were confiscated after being identified as counterfeit, said Uhlman.
"The majority of these items are manufactured in China and India and contain ingredients that the FDA has identified as carcinogenic, and if you knew what was in them you would never put it on your body," Vice President of Coty Beauty Inc. James Duggan said in a press release.
Talukder's immigration status is in question, said Uhlman. An employee at the kiosk, whose name was not released, was arrested Friday by Homeland Security after authorities determined he was not legally in this country, the press release stated.
Friday's seizure of goods comes after Coty Beauty received a customer complaint through unnamed manufacturers.
"Counterfeit good 'Knock Off's' have a direct impact on the local and national economy," the press release stated, adding that "Brockton Police and DHS have been working actively with product representatives to root out counterfeit sales in the City of Brockton."

Kevin Federline has opened up to Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos about his battle with depression, weight gain and his relationship with ex-wife Britney Spears.
Kevin, who will next be seen as a contestant on VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp," told Maria that despite the rumors, he did not gain weight to secure a spot on the reality show.
"They called me and they asked me if I wanted to do it and I had maybe 24 hours to decide because the show started taping the next day after that weekend," he said. "It just couldn't have come at a better time."
Married to pop star Britney Spears for two years, Kevin revealed that depression played a big part in his overeating.
"Once you get depressed, you don't really feel like doing anything. You're kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed," he said. "I mean, it's a combination of all of those things."
Kevin admitted that his divorce from the pop princess in 2006 played a part in his depression.
"A number of things between, I mean, everybody knows what happened with me and Brit. I'm not going to say that's the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression," he said.
When asked if he has gotten to a place where he can be friends with Britney, Kevin said the has.
"Yeah, I mean, I think as time goes on, it keeps getting better and better and better. I mean, I'm really happy the way that my life is going right now, I really am," he told Maria. "I think, you know, I have come a long way. All of us have…my whole family.
"It's gotten so much better from where we were," he added.
When Maria asked how he felt about the evolution from Britney's tumultuous past to how well things are going for her now and how it has affected their relationship, Kevin replied, "I'm in the best possible scenario right now. I'm really happy for her. I'm very happy for her."
Kevin also commented that he can see himself getting married again in the future, and there could be more kids in his future, maybe.
" I could see that happening too," he said. " I'll let the young ones grow up first and we'll see."
VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" premieres on Monday, February 8, 2010.
Maria's interview with Kevin Federline will air on Access Hollywood in February.

The Beatles Presented with Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
The Beatles were presented with a long-overdue Lifetime Achievement Award at a special pre-Grammy Special Merit Award ceremony held on Saturday afternoon.
Ringo Starr, George Harrison's widow Olivia and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono were on hand to accept the award. Paul McCartney was unable to attend because he was rehearsing for his performance at the televised Grammy ceremony, which takes place tonight. The Beatles were chosen for the Lifetime Achievement Award this year alongside the Isley Brothers, Kris Kristofferson, Kraftwerk, Clifton Chenier, Armando Manzanero and Maud Powell.
"It's a Lifetime Achievement Award, but I feel like we've all got a lot more life left in us," said Starr (as quoted by U-T San Diego). "The Beatles' music is still out there and that's what I'm most proud of."
Starr and McCartney are both expected to perform at tonight's ceremony. They will perform together at a special tribute, 'The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles,' which will air Feb. 9, the 50th anniversary of their former band's famous debut on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.'

When does a lie take on a life of its own? Two very different plays, running within blocks of each other on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, tackle that question.
"Dark Play, or Stories for Boys" ***
Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play, or Stories for Boys" transplants the bizarre-but-true story of two British boys whose lives become twisted through one of the kids' online fabrications (reported by Judy Bachrach seven years ago in Vanity Fair magazine) to a California beach town. There, Nick (a febrile Clancy McCartney) tells us of his "Universal Theory of the Gullibility Threshold." Sharply observant and more than a little manipulative, Nick delights in figuring out which lies he can plausibly deliver without getting caught.
His ultimate pigeon? Adam (Aaron Kirby), an all-American teen whose guileless online profile tells the world that he just wants to fall in love. Inspired by his high school drama teacher's breathless paeans to the "dangerous nature of theater," Nick decides to set his own "dark play" in motion by pretending to be Rachel, a made-up version of Adam's dream girl. But as the lies pile up, Nick finds himself torn between his own desire for Adam and jealousy of his creation, with increasingly disturbing consequences.
Murillo's play, first staged at the Humana Festival in Louisville in 2007, has had several productions around the country, but this is the Chicago premiere for the DePaul playwriting professor's piece. It's a good match with the tastes and sensibilities of Collaboraction — a company that has long been interested in exploring youth culture and the clash between virtual worlds and the stage. Director Anthony Moseley's spare staging — just four translucent panels frame the ends of the runway playing area, and there are minimal props — allows the 90-minute show to move with relentless drive.
Real characters, online presences, and Nick's inventions blend and bleed into one another with dizzying shifts. Olivia Dustman delivers a pair of well-drawn contrasting performances as the fictional sweet-but-conflicted Rachel (Nick cunningly notes that "in order to be plausible, she had to be kind of average") and as Molly, the real girl whose hook-up with Nick provides the opportunity for him to come clean about his past. Jane deLaubenfels and Sorin Brouwers add comic panache as a variety of "netizens" who pop up in the chat rooms where Nick unleashes his manipulations.
The piece is a tad dated — in the age of Facebook and Twitter, who uses chat rooms? And the denouement feels like a bit of a cheat. But as a meditation on the fungibility of identity (especially for teens who already feel emotionally adrift in the world), it's a smart taut, and sometimes sorrowful tale.
Through Feb. 26 at Collaboraction, 1579 N. Milwaukee Ave.; $25 at 312-226-9633 or collaboraction.org
"The Drawer Boy" ***
A different kind of male bonding and deception unfolds in Michael Healey's bittersweet "The Drawer Boy," which had a production at Steppenwolf in 2001 starring John Mahoney and Frank Galati. No such star power is on hand for this co-production of Filament Theatre Ensemble and the Den Theatre. But Julie Ritchey's unfussy staging delivers a warm-hearted and intimate portrait of two bachelor farmers (in early 1970s Ontario) whose lives are upended by the arrival of a budding actor/playwright.
Morgan (Nick Polus) is the laconic caregiver for Angus (Will Kinnear), who suffered a brain injury during World War II that destroyed his short-term memory. Nearly every night, Morgan tells Angus the story of the two British girls — "one tall, the other taller" — with whom he and Angus fell in love in London, and whose tragic deaths in a car crash in Canada after the war has left the men bereft. When well-meaning but hapless Miles (Marco Minichiello) comes to work on the farm, he overhears the story and puts it into the documentary-style play he's creating with his ensemble.
But the story of Morgan and Angus is more complicated than Miles realizes, and Healey raises poignant questions. Is a lie told for the best of reasons less cruel? And who has the right to make that decision?
Polus and Kinnear are a little young for the roles, and Minichiello slightly overplays the eager-beaver, fish-out-of-water city kid in Miles. But there is a deeply humane strain running through Healey's play that, despite a few hiccups here and there, carries this production to a satisfying conclusion.

Thank you both.
Mr. Fortune, carbon offsets are all the rage these days. Your work is really, in some measure, kind of leading work as far as carbon offsets go. Those were probably not recognized for a long time, but they are now. Do you get any credit for the carbon offsets that you achieve by buying a quarter section or a half section, or whatever, of land?

(Reuters) - A federal appeals court in the United States has withdrawn a ruling that put Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK.N) ahead of former customers of Sentinel Management Group seeking to recoup money lost in the futures broker's 2007 collapse.
In a two-line ruling that gave no further explanation, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit withdrew an August 9 opinion. "This appeal remains under consideration by the panel," the three-judge panel wrote in a ruling dated November 30.
The decision overturns an August opinion from the same court affirming an earlier district court ruling that Bank of New York Mellon had a "secured position" on a $312 million loan it gave to Sentinel.
Frederick Grede, the trustee in Sentinel's bankruptcy, alleged that the broker pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in customer assets to secure an overnight loan at the bank, leaving the bank in a secured position but Sentinel's customers with losses of millions.
Futures brokers are required to keep customers' funds in dedicated accounts to protect them from being used for anything other than client business. At Sentinel, customer funds were allegedly moved from the protected accounts to other accounts so they could be used as collateral for loans to Sentinel's own trading operations.
The appeals court said in August that "perhaps the bank should have known that Sentinel violated segregation requirements" but agreed with the district court's earlier ruling that "such a lack of care does not rise to the level of the egregious misconduct" needed to reprioritize a claim.
That decision was a blow for Grede, who had sought to strip Bank of New York Mellon of its secured position.
Sentinel largely managed money for other futures brokers, delivering outsized returns that Grede says were boosted by improperly using customer money to secure loans that funded risky trades.
The scheme unraveled when the credit crisis hit began the summer of 2007.
A spokesman for BNY Mellon declined to comment. A lawyer for Grede could not be immediately reached for comment late on Monday.
The case is Frederick Grede v. Bank of New York Mellon Corp., in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, no. 10-3787.

PARIS (Reuters) - Rainbows, flowers and birds dominated Manish Arora's colorful collection at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday, with the Indian designer offering plenty of vibrant prints and intricate embroidery for women next spring.
Models strutted down the catwalk in an array of tops, skirts, trousers and dresses adorned with patterns of fruit, flowers, flamingos, parrots, seahorses and fish.
Some looks were navy-inspired with sailor hats and striped tops. One model wore a neck collar resembling a fried egg.
The looks, which began in pastels and moved on to bold colours, were accessorised with calf-high socks and tie-up platform shoes with a rainbow wedge.
Paris Fashion Week runs until Oct. 5.

On Saturday night, Bob Weir, the Grateful Dead legend, played a show at his own TRI Studios in San Rafael, California. At the show, he was backed by a one-off band called the Bridge Session. As Rolling Stone reports, that group included the National's Aaron Dessner and Bryan and Scott Devondorf, as well as Doveman and members of the Walkmen, Takka Takka, and the Yellowbirds. About 100 people crammed into the tiny room, and the band played a bunch of Dead classics, as well as covers of Bob Dylan, the National (naturally), and, of all people, Cass McCombs. Below, watch clips from the show including "Daughters Of The Soho Riots" and "Uncle John's Band."
Someone needs to write the secret history of all the indie bands who absolutely love the Dead; I remember being mind-blown at Thurston Moore's heartfelt elegy of Jerry Garcia back in 1995.

Personal Liberty Digest
April 5, 2013
A British 9/11 truther is claiming victory following a court ruling that said he did not have to pay a fine over his refusal to pay his annual £130 TV license fee.
Tony Rooke claimed the BBC intentionally misrepresented facts about the 9/11 attacks when it reported that World Trade Center 7 collapsed "due to an office fire, which, even the NIST report says, fell at free-fall speed for eight floors in 2.5 seconds. That is absolutely impossible without a controlled demolition being involved." The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the U.S. government agency charged with investigating collapses.
In an act of civil disobedience, Rooke refused to support the BBC and pay the license fee because he believed the BBC has covered up the events of that day. To pay the license fee, he said, would be tantamount to supporting the terrorists responsible for the controlled demolition. He also argued that supporting terrorists would violate the UK's Terrorism Act, which states: "It is an offence for someone to invite another to provide money, intending that it should be used, or having reasonable cause to suspect that it may be used, for terrorism purposes."
