"American Masters – Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth," which traces the author's personal and professional journey from her birth into a family of sharecroppers in Eatonton, Ga., premieres nationally Friday, February 7 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).
Walker made history as the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her seminal novel The Color Purple (1982), for which she won the National Book Award.
Presented on PBS in honor of Walker's 70th birthday and Black History Month, filmmakerPratibha Parmar's new documentary tells Walker's dramatic life story with poetry and lyricism, and features new interviews with Walker, Steven Spielberg, Danny Glover,Quincy Jones, Gloria Steinem, Sapphire and the late Howard Zinn in one of his final interviews.
"As a filmmaker, one of the deepest desires is to engage the audience in the conversation unfolding on screen. I am thrilled to offer this in 'Beauty In Truth,' where Alice's openness, warmth and on-screen intimacy reflects our long history of kinship," said Parmar. "Making 'Beauty In Truth' has been an adventure of discovery and sheer inspiration. I'm so pleased it will have a national audience on American Masters."

Is TouchWorks What You're Looking For?
If you've had more than one massage, you probably already know not every massage therapist is the same and there are many types of massage. Here at TouchWorks, we focus on aches, pains and injuries. Why is that important to know? Because we want to make sure you're coming to the right place for the right stuff. We don't stick to just one massage technique here, for instance. So if you are looking for a session of trigger point work and nothing else, you probably won't be pleased with what we do. However, we usually incorporate some trigger point work in each session. We use many other massage techniques as well, and they all help with aches, pains and injuries. Need more help figuring out if TouchWorks is right for you? Please consider the following:
If you...
-deal with aches or pains on a regular basis
-spend your days leaning over your patients (We love to work on folks in the medical field!)
-aren't feeling as young as you once did
-work at a desk or do some other type of stationary work
-find that pain keeps you from performing daily activities
-were recently injured
...and you're interested in using a series of massages to help with your pain (or recieve massage at least once a month to keep the pain away), then we're probably a great fit!
But, if you...
-want relaxation massage
-want pre-natal massage
-want energy work (like Reiki)
-want hot stone massage
-enjoy massage that hurts so much you can't breathe
...then we probably aren't a great fit. However, we have a list of fabulous massage therapists we can refer you to. Take a look at the Links page to see our list of other healthcare professionals we love.

Bossier City Man Sentenced for Staging Equipment Theft
SHREVEPORT, La.: United States Attorney Stephanie A. Finley announced today that Kenneth A. Gordon Jr., 43, of Bossier City, was sentenced Thursday before U.S. District Court Judge Donald E. Walter, to 20 months in prison following his convictions for conspiracy and wire fraud after filing a false insurance claim for theft of his John Deere equipment. Gordon is also required to pay $104,134 in restitution.
Gordon's co-defendant, Don E. Newton, was sentenced in December 2012 to two years of supervised probation for conspiring with Gordon to commit wire fraud.
Trial testimony revealed that Gordon had asked Newton to report that a John Deere skid steer and a John Deere telehandler valued at approximately $140,000 had been stolen in August 2006. Gordon then filed a false claim to Sentry Insurance for the equipment. Instead of being stolen, Gordon had been leasing the equipment to a friend for $15,000 per month. Gordon later agreed to sell the skid steer to another friend in Texas for an additional $15,000. Gordon testified that he permitted his elderly parents to travel across
state lines to deliver the equipment to his friend even though they were unaware it had been reported stolen. Law enforcement discovered the John Deere skid steer in Hico, Texas, in June 2009 on the friend's property with an identification number matching the one Gordon previously reported stolen.
"Insurance fraud is a serious federal offense that affects everyone," Finley said. "We will continue to use every tool available to aggressively investigate and prosecute those individuals who perpetrate these types of financial crimes that affect our community."
The Louisiana State Police/Insurance Fraud Auto Theft Unit and the Texas Department of Public Safety/Motor Vehicle Theft Services investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cytheria D. Jernigan prosecuted the case.

Emphysema, which often accompanies chronic bronchitis, is damage to the elastic walls of the sac-like alveoli in the lungs. This is caused by constant coughing to try to dislodge the bacteria and mucus blocking the swollen bronchi. Microscopic hairs called cilia which line the airways act as a respiratory `escalator' pushing out particles of dust, soot, and bacteria. In chronic bronchitis the cilia become paralyzed due to the constant secretion of viscid mucus. Smoking and to a lesser degree alcohol exacerbate this state.
Actions Indicated for the Processes Behind this Disease
Pulmonary tonics are important in long term strengthening of the lungs, but will do little in short term relief of an attack.
Expectorant remedies will be essential to ensure that there is the minimum of build up of sputum in the lungs. Stimulant expectorants are necessary because of the lessening of tone in the alveoli walls.
Demulcents will be soothing and support the relaxing expectorants.
Anti-spasmodic plants will ease the spasm response in the muscles of the lungs.
Anti-microbial support is called for if there is potential for secondary infection, which is too be guarded against at all costs.
Anti-catarrhals will aid the body in dealing with any over production of sputum in lungs or sinuses.
Cardio-Tonic herbs will support the heart in the face of lung congestion or strain.
Nervine support is always appropriate either because stress is a trigger in some form or because the asthma becomes a source of stress and concern which then in turn triggers attacks.

Raiders CEO Trask resigns
Alameda, CA – Longtime Oakland Raiders chief executive officer Amy Trask announced on Saturday that she has resigned after 25 years with the team.
Trask, who took over as Oakland's CEO in 1997 under former team owner Al Davis, originally joined the club in 1987.
She is considered one of the highest-ranking women in professional sports, while paving the way for the role of females within NFL front offices.
Since Davis' death in October of 2011, Trask and current owner Mark Davis -- Al's son -- have been involved in much overhauling of the entire franchise, including coaches, scouts and other front office executives.
"Having honored a commitment that I made to effectuate a smooth transition and transfer of control, I no longer wish to remain with the organization," Trask wrote in a statement released to the media.
"For over a quarter of a century, it was my honor and my privilege to work for the Raiders. I will forever appreciate the opportunity afforded me by Al Davis."

international design necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 156 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
Vera Iconica Design
Vera Iconica is the Latin phrase meaning "true image". Vera Iconica Design is the umbrella over several specialized branches that are ready to emerge, including Vera Iconica Architecture, Vera Iconica Furniture, and Vera Iconica Jewelry.
The branches of the design firm pursue small scale architecture projects as well as boutique furniture and jewelry lines. Despite the array of scales and varying artifact mediums, the underlying characteristics that make each project a unique Vera Iconica Design include intimately detailed connections, exposing the structural elements, and highlighting characteristics of natural materials. The design philosophy inherently demands sensitivity to context and sustainable, cradle-to-grave practices.
Our designers are well trained and traveled, intently accumulating knowledge of traditions and craftsmanship from over 40 countries. We take pride in working with our clients to select from this foundation an appropriate, sophisticated design solution that utilizes natural materials.
High end, luxury brand for consumers with discriminating tastes.
Architectural clients include private individuals for residential projects (typical first impressions are websites or business cards = strong branding!), as well as commercial entities such as lodges, spas, cafes, law firms, design offices etc.
Finally, individuals will be looking at Vera Iconica furniture and jewelry in boutique style stores. Clients and customers need to recognize a symbol/brand/logo for structural quality, intimate detailing, and natural materials.
Design a logo/brand that includes the company's name, "Vera Iconica Design".
Our idea is that the "Vera Iconica" portion along with some branding image/logo would remain consistent, while the "Design" could be interchangeable with the branch specific words "Architecture", "Furniture", "Jewelry", or other future branches. Consequently, the font of the word "Design" shall be disclosed upon award of the prize in order for future in-house ability to use the Vera Iconica logo and "Vera Iconica" text in conjunction with the specific branch name.
Wood, stone, steel, grass/fiber are reoccurring themes in our work.
Think true. natural. contemporary elegance. age-old sophistication.
References (in addition to logos, pay attention overall feel of websites):
Our Take: classic simplicity. light, firm, but not forceful. We want something with a little more edge, more attitude.
Our Take: The lettering of the company is elegant while the imagery on the website is both elegant and suggests an untamed daring. We would like this attitude in the logo.
Our Take: Logo that stands on its own makes us think of furniture that can stand on its own. Professional. We would like our logo to have a little more movement/asymmetry and a softer feel.

What the U.S. Prison at Guantanamo Accomplished
Posted by Debra in protest and resistance, torture, war and occupation on January 5, 2011
The voices almost never heard in the discussion of torture, indefinite detention and Bush's Guantánamo are the men who were themselves detained. Over 600 have been released, in a tacit admission by the U.S. that they committed no crimes. 174 are still detained, even though Obama's own commission found last year that more than 90 should be released immediately. We should hear these voices.
Andy Worthington published this letter last week, from a Yemini detainee:
A letter from Guantánamo, by Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif
To Attorney David Remes who dedicated his efforts to work on my dead case. The case that has been buried by its makers under the wreckage of freedom, justice, and the malicious and cursed politics.
Testimony and Consolation
I offer my dead corpse to the coming Yemeni delegation.
They agreed on the torture and agonies that I went through all those years.
They knew that I am innocent and at the same time ill and that I left my country to seek treatment.
This is also a message to the Yemeni people who bear the responsibility of my death in front of God and the responsibility of all of the other Yemenis inside this prison. This prison is a piece of hell that kills everything, the spirit, the body and kicks away all the symptoms of health from them.
A Testimony of Death
A testimony against injustice and against the propagandists of freedom, justice and equality.
Adnan Farhan Abdulatif while in the throes of death.
From Close Guantanamo with Justice Now, by dozens of organizations to mark the beginning of the 10th year of Guantanamo on Tuesday, January 11, 2011:
The story of Guantánamo remains the shameful case of the U.S. government rounding up nearly 800 men and boys, indiscriminately labeling them "the worst of the worst," and throwing them into an island prison designed to exist beyond the reaches of the law, where they would have no right to challenge their detention or abuse. The vast majority of the prisoners at Guantánamo should never have been detained in the first place. Many were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and were fleeing the chaos of war when U.S. forces entered Afghanistan. Only one in twenty was captured by the U.S. military. Most were captured by local civilians and authorities in Afghanistan and Pakistan and sold to the United States in exchange for substantial bounty. According to Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, a senior State Department official who served in the Bush administration between 2002-2005, the Bush administration knew early on that the majority of the men at Guantánamo were innocent but did not release them due to political concerns that doing so could harm support for the government's push for war in Iraq and the broader "Global War on Terror."
Andy Worthington and other journalists have spent years documenting the abuse detainees suffered. See the report by ProPublica, Prisoners' Recollections Differ from Guidelines, contrasting the "torture memo" report released by the Obama administration in 2009, with its dry and utterly bland descriptions of torture procedures ordered by the Bush regime, with the report of the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2007 which, given the ICRC's reluctance to criticize governments, was scathing in its criticism of the Bush program.
The problem is not simply that Barack Obama has not followed through on his pledge to close Guantanamo by January 22, 2010. In many ways, as we said in the Crimes are Crimes – No Matter Who Does Them statement,
this is worse than Bush. First, because Obama has claimed the right to assassinate American citizens whom he suspects of "terrorism," merely on the grounds of his own suspicion or that of the CIA, something Bush never claimed publicly. Second, Obama says that the government can detain you indefinitely, even if you have been exonerated in a trial, and he has publicly floated the idea of "preventive detention.
Ten weeks after the publication of that statement in The New York Times, Obama, it was reported by Dafna Linzer at ProPublica that
The White House is preparing an Executive Order on indefinite detention that will provide periodic reviews of evidence against dozens of prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, according to several administration officials… the order establishes indefinite detention as a long-term Obama administration policy and makes clear that the White House alone will manage a review process for those it chooses to hold without charge or trial.
This executive order, may be released on or near January 11, putting a close to any faint illusions — or delusions – on the part of those who says that Obama is "really trying" to close the illegal prison.
In another recent piece With Indefinite Detention and Transfer Bans, Obama and the Senate Plumb New Depths on Guantánamo Worthington says:
President Obama is now fulfilling one of Dick Cheney's great hopes, presiding over a prison in which the overwhelming majority of the remaining 174 prisoners will, in all likelihood, continue to be held indefinitely.
Over at The Talking Dog, dog says:
Every day, in every way, the people of the Obama Administration just want you to know that if there is any material difference between it and the Bush Administration… they must not be doing their jobs right.
Just so we are clear: the continuation of the global "war on terror" continues, now fully endorsed by the administration and the Congress. As always, it's up to us to make our demands visible. Join me in Washington DC on Tuesday, January 11, 2011.

The Motet has been a leader of groove music especially in Colorado for several years now. They have always had an all-star musician at each position of their band. It is just a matter of time before they explode into a national powerhouse. The Motet "family" contains some of my most favorite friends, and anyone who knows anything about music would agree that a Motet show is a dance party that you never leave disappointed or somber from. Whether they are playing originals or covering Herbie Hancock, the Grateful Dead, Sly & the Family Stone or Talking Heads, the excitement post show is at its peak. Their Halloween antics in the past have been so much fun that they can sell out a venue four months later because there are still that many people that crave seeing it or that many that want to see it again to relive the boogie down.
The opening song of their 2013 recreation of the year 1980 Mixtape edition began with , "Take Your Time" by S.O.S. and started with a heavenly funk synth groove, and off we went. The dance party was relentless and never-ending! No joke, the Motet made Queen's "Another Bites the Dust" sound better than the original band ever played it, and that is when I really started paying attention. The diversity of genres that they nail proved amazing and their technicalities and precision was unbelievable. It was obvious that they have been preparing and looking forward to this show for a long time. Most of all, I love bands that sound better and better every time I see them. These are professionals, and this show put a stamp on that. The "It's a Love Thing" originally by the Whispers funked every one out. I had an ariel view of the dance party, and people were feeling it. Then came the depth in diversity and range when Bob Marley's "Work" was a vocal masterpiece. It was the perfect segue that nobody saw into Led Zeppelin's reggae song "Fool in the Rain." The drum solo at the end of this was adventurous and would have taught John Bonham some things as a thank you for being an influence on drummer virtuoso Dave Watts.
Then it came, my favorite song of the night, "Walk Right Now." This was the Jackson's fourth and final single from the band's hit Triumph. This was epic funky long lasting disco madness. It just kept going. It was a dancer's dream. They cooled things down with probably the best Soul song possible, "Crusin'" by Smokey Robinson. The chart toping sing a long made the crowd fall in love, me personally with singer Camille Armstrong, who was subbing in for the beautiful and also talented Kim Dawson. The Motet's lead singer Jans Ingber and LaDamion Massey completed the three part harmony switch offs all night blowing people away with their astounding vocals. The funk jam "Got to be Enough" by Con Funk Shun and "And the Beat Goes On," the second Whipers cover of the night is enough to allow you to understand the imagery of the evening. That was only the first set.
The intensity kept climbing as the band ripped into the heavy hitters, Gary Numan's "Cars" and Devo's "Whip It." These space funk 80's tunes defined a generation. The Motet crushed both of them, while moving into an even crazier, "Rapture," the first ever rap song to top the charts by Blondie. The extended coda on the song evoked the zombie dancers to march on through the stage haunting the musicians as guitarist and friend Ryan Jalbert soloed with an Anastasio type crescendo. After all, the guy only teaches guitar at the University of Colorado. His endless root style brings back riffs and solos that you feel like you have heard before because they are so classic and unique sounding.
The Police's "When the World is Running Down" took everyone by surprise, even as it slid into my favorite Bob Marley song, "Could You Be Loved." There were once again points especially during the jam at the end that I thought it was better than the original. I know, crazy huh? Anyone who heard how majestic Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening" was, and what an amazing drum solo concluded the song, would agree that this was a special night in music. The Motet always nails their cover shows they perform, but this one was just so right on!
The second set pure funk kicked in again starting with the four song medley dance party comprised of Tom Browne's "Thighs High (Grip Your Hips and Move)", George Benson's "Give Me The Night," Dazz Band's "Shake It Up," and Zapp and Roger's "More Bounce To The Ounce." Joey Porter's talk box introduction to "More Bounce to the Ounce" was the best use of a voice box that I have ever seen. And it just kept on going for several minutes. The bends and Daft Punk type infusions he added to this solo were over the top and down right dirty.
There was such a smooth transition in the vocal and bass schooling on the Manhattan's "Shining Star." Garrett Sayers' jazz bass mastery shows absolutely no boundaries or weaknesses in his playing. The sweet sounds of these singers could make this band world famous if they were a regular occasion. After this display, I cannot wait for the band's newly announced cd release party at the Fillmore Auditorium on Jaunary 25.
This is what my fellow Graterful Web writer Charles Sokoloff said about the encore of the Halloween show just two days prior to this. "Earlier in the month, I tried to convince Mark to just stay in Boulder, save $600, and go to The Motet show. My entreaties fell on deaf ears as he was committed to seeing his favorite band. When I heard the letdown in his voice, I didn't have the heart to tell him that I was still recovering from the greatest show I'd ever seen." I am not brave enough to say it is the best show I have ever seen, but I have to admit, I was trying to rank the show in my top 10 or 20 of all time for sure. I love dance parties, and this was one of the best ones that I have ever been to. They played a non-stop medley of Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" followed by the Rolling Stones' "Emotional Rescue" and back into Kool & the Gang's "Ladies Night." The power of that encore was intense to say the least. No one was standing still this entire night. As I said earlier, this band throws down, and when they are excited for something, it is even more special. Their next all out project is going to be that Fillmore Auditorium cd release party in Denver on a cold outside, but sweaty inside January night. Snarky Puppy and Orgone are opening on that night so the collaborations and visuals will make this night unforgettable, not to mention that I will be just getting back from the AVN Awards in Las Vegas and the Disco Biscuits will be playing on the same night at the 1st Bank Center. God, I love living in Colorado! This was an unforgettable show that I recommend seeing when and if they tour it again. Mix tapes rule!

There has been a lot of talk this election cycle about the 1 percent, the richest people in this country. But there's been very little said about the other 1 percent — the 1 percent of Americans who have put their lives on the line and their blood in the sand for the past decade.
We will end up spending somewhere north of $2 trillion — that's trillion with a T — on the wars that followed 9/11. What will we spend on the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines we sent to fight them?
This is not a question that occupies most of the politicians looking for our votes on Tuesday, but it is a question that gnaws at Jack Hammond. He retired this year as a brigadier general after 30 years in the Army, and spent too much of that career on multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He saw too many good people die or come home missing arms or legs or pieces of their souls. The wounds weren't just from bullets and shrapnel. During his last tour, in Kabul, there were 180 men and women in his unit and in less than a year eight marriages broke up.
Hammond now heads up Home Base, the program at Massachusetts General Hospital that treats the invisible wounds of war, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder, that affect anywhere from one-quarter to one-third of combat veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hammond was sitting in the dining room of a golf club a couple of weeks ago when a young soldier stood up before a bunch of businessmen from Sudbury and explained what an improvised explosive device had done to his brain.
The soldier came home to Massachusetts, checked himself into a motel, and tried to kill himself. "I couldn't even do that right," the soldier said, and Jack Hammond felt a lump in his throat.The suicide rate among returning veterans is three times that of the general population. "We're going to have a lot of young veterans coming home who need help," Hammond said.
And it's not just the vets. Dr. Paula Rauch, who runs the family team for Home Base, says that for every warrior, there are 10 worriers. The families and loved ones of veterans have endured their own wars, and they often need help, but government rules don't cover significant others.
Two battalions from Massachusetts, one from Melrose, the other from Worcester, returned from Afghanistan last summer. They saw heavy action. Thirty percent of those soldiers are out of work, Hammond says.
"While some vets have mental health issues, the main issue is finding a job, the sense of self-worth that comes with that," Hammond said. "This transition from military life to civilian life is a stark contrast. Most of them just want a job."
On the bright side, a lot of vets are heading back to school. "The new GI bill is huge," Hammond said. "We've found that the vets who are going to school are also more likely to reach out for help. The challenges are for those who don't have a job, who are not in school."
As vets filter out into civilian life, much of the burden will fall on the Veterans Administration. "The VA in Massachusetts is one of the best," Hammond said.
But by its own rules, the VA can't treat vets who come out with anything less than an honorable discharge. What about the vets who earned a less than honorable discharge precisely because of what
they experienced on the battlefield?
"We help them," Hammond said. "I think as we go forward, the public-private partnerships like ours are going to be crucial. The challenge is getting the bureaucracy to mesh."
The military had to be flexible in Iraq and Afghanistan as the rules of engagement shifted with the sands. In engaging with our vets, we need to be as flexible in helping them.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been largely out of sight, out of mind, for most Americans. But Hammond believes most Americans want to do whatever it takes to help the veterans of these wars. As long as they know about it.
"When I meet with corporate folks, and tell them the problems our people are facing, it's a news flash to them. They don't understand the scope. But that's because they haven't been told. Once they understand, it's like, 'What can we do to help?'
"We've told our philanthropic donors, we expect the need to increase. It's bothersome to consider the money we spent on the wars. We shouldn't have to worry about taking care of veterans. It's a moral obligation we all have. The other long-term piece of this is that if we betray their trust, the concept of an all-volunteer military will not last. It's an experiment, but it's only half done. The soldiers fulfilled their half. We have to finish the other half."
Speaking of half, what if half the $2 billion that has been spent on the presidential campaigns had been set aside instead to help vets? What if the politicians and PACs who have bombarded us for months with insipid or intellectually insulting ads had used half of that money to help the veterans of these wars? Can't we ask for more for the people of whom we've asked so much?Kevin Cullen is a Globe columnist. He can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeCullen.

|This is the article on chapter 606 of the manga. For volume 63, head to Dream World.
"Dream World" (夢の世界, Yume no Sekai, Viz: World of Dreams) is chapter 606 of the original Naruto manga.
Still in disbelief, Obito walks over towards Rin's body, with Madara and White Zetsu's words echoing in his head. Phasing right through Kakashi's body as he went, he stopped only when he had reached Rin's corpse. Initially phasing through the kunoichi's body as he tried to check her pulse, Obito finally realises that she is in fact dead and as he cradled Rin's lifeless body, vowed to create a world where she was alive, and change the fate of this world. After returning to Madara, as the elder Uchiha had predicted, and hearing from White Zetsu that no one saw them, he beckons the young Uchiha to his side. Telling Obito to look into his left eye, Madara takes the young man to a genjutsu where as a means to explain his plans, made himself look younger before telling Obito the story of the Sage of the Six Paths and the Ten-Tails. Some time after this, Obito and Zetsu would travel to Amegakure to meet Nagato — a young man of Senju lineage that Madara had implanted his Rinnegan which he had awoken before shutting himself away from the world. Obito remembers Madara telling him that he had acquired the dōjutsu after implanting Senju DNA into his body, but not until he had neared the end of his lifespan, did the dōjutsu awaken. Madara would later explain that this allowed him to summon the empty shell of the Ten-Tails and use it as a catalyst to cultivate the Hashirama's living clone. Madara would then teach Obito how to control the statue, several Uchiha kinjutsu and Yin–Yang Release. He, at some point, put his will into half of White Zetsu, thus creating Black Zetsu, and also into Hashirama's living clone, causing a black receiver to extend from the clone's navel and told Obito to use it when he was going to use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him before breaking the connection to the statue. As life left the elder Uchiha's body, he told Obito to go until the time he was revived. At this point, Obito and Zetsu approach Nagato, with Obito announcing himself to be Madara Uchiha.

Food Stamp Fraud In Brockton
Eight employees at five Brockton stores have been charged with improper use of electronic food stamp cards.
The eight defendants arrested Thursday, including the owners of some of the stores, are charged with offenses including larceny, trafficking food stamps, access fraud, and procurement fraud. The Plymouth County district attorney's office said some transactions involved a clerk entering a $100 grocery sale using an EBT card, and giving the customer $50 cash.
The stores would then use the card to buy groceries at another store, which were sold at large markups. Undercover state troopers have been performing the transactions since May.
The stores raided were B&D Mart; JP Communications; Lucky Dollar; Rice's Market; and Dip N' Sip.

Mets manager Terry Collins, speaking on WFAN, threw out the first timetable on Johan Santana, saying maybe around June. Does anybody have any faith it will be sooner than that?
The Mets must prepare for life without Santana for this year, and possibly longer, consider the nature of his injury and this is the third straight year in which he's been injured and has become a annual health issue.
The Mets can't afford this year, or next, to assume Santana will automatically be an ace. They won't spend anything this winter, but after the books are cleared they have to be thinking about landing a big time free-agent for the 2012 season.
The free-agent pitching market is thin, and the Mets have two holes to fill in their rotation. With the loss of Hisanori Takahashi and likely Pedro Feliciano, they also have considerable work to do in their bullpen.
On a positive note, Collins said he will approach Carlos Beltran about playing right field and the health reports are good on Jason Bay. Second base, he said, is wide open.
Sandy Alderson said the Mets could be competitive this season, but everything has to break right, and that means the healthy returns of Beltran, Bay and Reyes, and consistency in the starting rotation.
Hopefully, next week at the winter meetings Alderson will make a big enough splash to fuel optimism.

Author Notes: This recipe was inspired by fluffy chiffon cakes (fluffing the egg whites separate from their yolks), my love for making flan and creme brulee, as well by Lemon Pignole cookies. I used several varieties of citrus since I lacked Meyer lemons and flavored the pudding with honey and rosemary for a garden-like twist. And just so ya know, this is the most bowls you'll every see me dirty in the making of one dish! —gabrielaskitchen
Food52 Review: We nicknamed this "restaurant" bread pudding -- not because it's difficult to make, but because if it were served to us in a restaurant (not to mention gabrielaskitchen's home) we'd be duly impressed. The herbs, vanilla, and a trio of citrus zests infuse the milk with a heady mix of complementary flavors, and honey adds a rich, musky sweetness that sugar simply cannot. The sweetness of the custard is offset by lemon juice and butter-soaked bread cubes, and whipped egg whites lighten the pudding. The resulting dessert miraculously separates into a rich, custardy base and a puffy, tender top layer studded with toasted pine nuts. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 8
large loaf Italian or French bread, about 3 cups cubed
cup honey
sprigs fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dry rosemary pulverized
teaspoon zest of lemon
teaspoon zest of grapefruit
teaspoon zest of one orange
teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 vanilla bean scraped
cup unsalted butter melted
juice of one small lemon
eggs, separated
1 1/2
cups whole milk
cup toasted pinenuts
- Preheat the oven to 300°. Cut or tear a loaf of bread into approximately 1 inch cubes. Spread the bread, in one layer, on baking sheets. Toast for about 10 minutes, until bread is slightly crisp on the outside but still spongy on the inside.
- Place milk, rosemary, citrus zest and vanilla in a sauce pan on medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then promptly remove from heat and cover. Let rest for 15 minutes. If you used fresh rosemary remove and discard the sprigs and leaves. Add honey to the milk mixture stirring until completely incorporated.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, lemon juice and melted butter.
- Prepare a 8 x 8 x 1 1/2 in. square pan. Lightly grease the bottom and sides with unsalted butter. Place bread into the pan.
- In a separate bowl, separate egg yolks and white, reserving both for use. Beat the egg yolks until lemon colored. Add to the milk mixture, blending well.
- In yet another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into the first milk and egg mixture.
- Pour the final pudding-like mixture over the bread, making sure that it is evenly coated. Top with toasted pinenuts.
- Place the baking pan into a larger pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the outer pan to come halfway up the sides of the pan containing the bread pudding.
- Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Serve with fresh whipped cream (1 small carton heavy cream plus 2 Tbs. sugar whipped).
- Your Best Bread Pudding (Sweet, not Savory) Contest Winner!
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Dieter's already brought us up to speed on the nasty security bug Gizmodo found in the iPhone's current 2.0.2 firmware (which John Gruber points out Apple already fixed once for firmware 1.1 way back last year -- yikes!). Now Macworld (via MacRumors) reports that Apple has taken the unusual step (for Apple) of confirming the upcoming fix:
"The minor iPhone security issue which surfaced this week is fixed in a software update which will be released in September," Apple representative, Jennifer Bowcock, said in an email to Macworld.
So add security to the list of what Apple's now promising, along with 3G connectivity and App stability, for the next update.
Will that update be the already in beta 4 iPhone firmware 2.1? Kevin Rose has rumored it for September 6th, but we've already seen push notification fall off the feature list. With more bugs to fix, will Apple pull a Vista, or settle for a less ambitious, more urgent 2.0.3 in the interim?
I'm favoring the 2.0.3 at the moment. I'd rather stability over features at this point. Nail 2.0.x, then move on. What's you preference?

B Lush Images
I am a female photographer trying to step away from wedding bookings, and onto concentrating on studio/location boudoir work. I prefer the excitement of this type of session and the ability to be more creative, and expressive in my work than other types of imagery creation.
If it helps, I am 6ft tall, slim, and feel I am a personification of of my tag line ( no I am not trying to pick anyone up here...)
My tag line is Be Bold, Be Daring, B~Lush. I live this line daily and I want to provide women (and their partners/recipients of the images) an opportunity to experience something out of their element and feel more comfortable about their sexuality and to share something a bit naughty together.
The atmosphere of my company is professional, yet laid back and accommodating, but when there is a job to do get it done 120% to my satisfaction (which can be hard to do sometimes but I'm really truly lovable...really).
We are all women here, not to say we are not male friendly , but believe that these sessions can be stressful enough without trying to be "on" in front of a guy.
Target audience are women mid 20's to 40's, and their partners who may want to provide a session as a gift. We are wanting to attract women who are comfortable with their bodies and those who may not be so comfortable.
Someone who has thought about doing such a session, but has not yet found the right studio to elicit that "gotta do it" feeling.
Ladies who are not afraid to look at a "gentleman's" mag and say I can do that . Those who understand that they do have a version of sensual that we can bring out of them in a respectful and honest manner.
Avoid: curly scripts, girly styles, nor any flur-de-lis type styles, no trucker mud flap looks either please. Other than that,make me say "Ya !! that's it!"
Simple is best, but again I am open to your concepts of sexy and sensual.
B~Lush can have the funky dash incorporated or not.
Colors: Light and dark will be accepted; tones of purple, pink and grays- willing to entertain a different scheme,shake up the creative juices.
Want to accomplish: Have a potential client feel like they are approaching a studio that will make them feel like a model, but no overtly sexualized
Initial use will be on a blog, then a website and also used for marketing material
Open to only text and/or logo incorporation.
Attached below is the background image I most likely will be using for the blog which will be set on a white background.

General Description
The Hierophant stands for the world of belief and a deep trust that stems from this conviction of faith. In older times, he was considered one of the three protective cards of the Tarot, which basically gave the course of a matter a favorable tendency. There is much to be said for this understanding of the card, since the power of trust that it expresses can be related to the trust we have in ourselves as well as the trust we have in a deeper sense in our personal lives and the resulting trust in our future. Moreover, this card shows the path of ethics and virtue and stands for the personal resolve resulting from our fundamental moral values.

Some of the nation's largest pharmaceutical companies have slashed payments to health professionals for promotional speeches amid heightened public scrutiny of such spending, a new ProPublica analysis shows.
Eli Lilly and Co.'s payments to speakers dropped by 55 percent, from $47.9 million in 2011 to $21.6 million in 2012.
Pfizer's speaking payments fell 62 percent over the same period, from nearly $22 million to $8.3 million.
And Novartis, the largest U.S. drugmaker as measured by 2012 sales, spent 40 percent less on speakers that year than it did between October 2010 and September 2011, reducing payments from $24.8 million to $14.8 million.
The sharp declines coincide with increased attention from regulators, academic institutions and the public to pharmaceutical company marketing practices. A number of companies have settled federal whistle-blower lawsuits in recent years that accused them of improperly marketing their drugs.
In addition, the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, a part of the 2010 health reform law, will soon require all pharmaceutical and medical device companies to publicly report payments to physicians. The first disclosures required under the act are expected in September and will cover the period of August to December 2013.
Within the industry, some companies are re-evaluating the role of physician speakers in their marketing repertoire. GlaxoSmithKline announced in December that it would stop paying doctors to speak on behalf of its drugs. Its speaking tab plummeted from $24 million in 2011 to $9.3 million in 2012.
Not all companies have cut speaker payments: Johnson and Johnson increased such spending by 17 percent from 2011 to 2012; AstraZeneca's payments stayed about flat in 2012 after a steep decline the previous year.
ProPublica has been tracking publicly reported payments by drug companies since 2010 as part of its Dollars for Docs project. Users can search for their doctors to see if they have received compensation from the 15 companies that make such information available online.
Some companies in the database said their declines have less to do with the Sunshine Act and more to do with the loss of patent protection for key products. Lilly, for example, began facing generic competition to its blockbuster antipsychotic Zyprexa in late 2011. Its antidepressant Cymbalta lost its patent in late 2013.
"The value of educational programs tends to be higher when we're launching a new medicine or we have new clinical data/new indication," Lilly spokesman J. Scott MacGregor said in an email, adding that the drop in speaking payments also reflects the increased use of Web conferencing.
Pfizer's patent on Lipitor, its top-selling cholesterol drug, expired in 2011.
"Like any other company, our business practices must adapt to the changing nature of our product portfolio, based in part on products going off patent and new products being introduced into the market," company spokesman Constantine Mastrojohn said in an email.
"It's possible the number of physicians they need to support sales of these items is less, leading to lower payments overall," he said.
In some cases, companies maintained or made smaller cuts to other forms of physician compensation while pulling back dramatically on speaking payments. Pfizer's spending on consultants dropped 9 percent from 2011 to 2012, far less than its payments to speakers. The company's spending on research stayed the same.
Lilly increased spending on physician researchers by more than 20 percent, while reducing payments to consultants by more than two-thirds.
Bioethicists and leaders of major academic medical centers frown upon physicians delivering promotional talks for drug companies, saying they turn doctors into sales representatives rather than leaders in research and patient care.
Officials with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the industry trade group, dispute this characterization. They said they are working with their member companies to prepare for the Sunshine Act and have created a campaign to promote the value of drug company-doctor collaborations.
"Companies will make their own independent decisions about how to engage professionals," said Kendra Martello, PhRMA's deputy vice president of strategic operations.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — The Yemeni military says it has wrested control of a southern town from al-Qaida fighters after three days of clashes that killed 17 people.
Military officials say 12 al-Qaida fighters were killed and five soldiers and members of local tribes fighting alongside the army died in the clashes. Local militiamen had joined the military offensive to push al-Qaida out of the mountainous al-Maraksha in Abyan province.
Tribal sources say the al-Qaida fighters fled al-Maraksha Saturday to East Ahwar, about 80 kilometers outside the Abyan provincial capital of Zinjibar.
All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
Last year, Yemen's army, backed by the United States, drove militants out of southern areas that al-Qaida had seized during Yemen's 2011 uprising.

Here are current examples where JCI resources and talent have made significant contributions to improved patient care.
In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the High 5s Project to address major concerns about patient safety around the world. The name–High 5s–reflects the project's original intent to significantly reduce the frequency of five patient safety problems in five countries over five years. Since then, the project has expanded to seven countries focused on two standard operating protocols (SOPs): medication reconciliation and correct-site surgery.
Work on these SOPs is already producing performance improvement results:
13 hospitals in the Netherlands that use this SOP have demonstrated major medication safety improvements:
Hospitals in Singapore that use this SOP have shown improvements in clinical practice and staff cooperation:
The High 5s Project is overseen by JCI, a designated WHO Collaborating Centre, and has brought together multiple countries and institutions to develop standardized interventions that can be applied in any hospital across the globe.
Learn more about the High 5s Project (PDF).
Developed with JCI by International Finance Corporation (IFC), the world's largest, multilateral investor in private health care in emerging markets, this guide provides practical advice to organizations that want to improve their standards of health care and achieve some form of international accreditation.
This free Self-Assessment Guide for Health Care Organizations includes online resources, evidence-based medical practices, and a basic code of conduct for health care organizations that may be adapted for local use.
Download the guide.
Launched in March 2011, SafeCare is the result of a global initiative in Cape Town, South Africa. It introduces a comprehensive, quality improvement program using internationally recognized standards to improve health care delivery.
The SafeCare Foundation, a cooperation between JCI, the South African-based Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA), and the PharmAccess Foundation of the Netherlands assists health care providers in resource-poor settings to improve quality, safety and delivery of care to its patients.
In 2005 the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the World Alliance for Patient Safety and identified six action areas. One of these action areas was the development of Solutions for Patient Safety. The WHO also designated Joint Commission International (JCI) and The Joint Commission (TJC) as the Collaborating Centre on Patient Safety. In this role, JCI and TJC initiated and coordinated the work of developing and disseminating solutions for patient safety. In 2007 the WHO Collaborating Centre for Patient Safety Solutions were published and translated into several languages. JCI and TJC concluded its designation as the WHO Collaborating Centre on Patient Safety in 2013.
JCI worked with WHO to develop standards for providing safe, quality male circumcision services to decrease the transmission of HIV. These free resources have been developed to assist health facility managers and providers to establish and implement male circumcision services that meet an internationally specified level of safety and quality. The guide is complemented by a toolkit which provides practical tools for assisting facility managers and providers to assess their current quality of care while identifying gaps that exist in male circumcision services.

Reds rely on Arroyo, shoot for sweep of Brewers
Veteran right-hander Bronson Arroyo can pitch the Cincinnati Reds to a series sweep and end a four-start winless drought when they host the Milwaukee Brewers to wrap up a three-game weekend series on Sunday afternoon at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds took a 2-0 series lead on Saturday, when Jay Bruce ripped two doubles and his third home run of the season and the hosts used a seven-run third inning to get past the Brewers, 13-7.
Already leading 5-4, the Reds tallied five doubles and seven hits overall in the decisive third inning. Bruce, Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco all doubled around an Xavier Paul walk with no outs, plating the first two runs.
Starting pitcher Mat Latos then helped himself with an RBI single up the middle. Shin-Soo Choo followed with a double to score Mesoraco and Zach Cozart brought Latos home with a sacrifice fly to center for the first out of the inning.
Joey Votto kept the rally going with an RBI single and following Brandon Phillips' pop up to right, Bruce doubled again to cap the scoring barrage.
Frazier, Paul and Mesoraco all had two hits apiece and combined for seven runs scored for Cincinnati, which won its major league best 15th home game.
Latos (4-0) labored through six innings, allowing seven runs -- six earned -- on nine hits and three walks but took the win and helped himself at the dish, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored. Latos has won eight straight decisions going back to last season.
"I gave up six runs today, actually seven," said Latos. "I could care less how many hits I had."
His counterpart, Hiram Burgos (1-1), struggled through three innings in the fourth start of his major league career. Burgos was smacked around for 12 runs -- 10 earned -- on 11 hits before giving way to the Brewers' bullpen.
"It was the worst outing of my career," claimed Burgos.
Jean Segura went 4-for-5 with a homer, three runs scored and a steal while Ryan Braun extended his hitting streak to 12 games with his seventh double of the year. Norichika Aoki also went deep for the Brewers, losers in eight of nine.
Arroyo, who turned 36 in February, is 13-10 in 29 career meetings against the Brewers with a 3.90 earned run average across 168 1/3 innings.
He opened 2013 with two wins in his initial three starts through April 15, but has since gone 0-3 with a no-decision while allowing 29 hits and 14 runs -- 13 earned -- in 26 innings of work.
He dropped a 7-4 decision to Atlanta in his most recent start on May 6, when he was tagged for four runs on eight hits in five innings.
Arroyo is 45-40 in 119 career starts at Great American Ball Park.
For the Brewers, streaking right-hander Wily Peralta aims for a fourth win in his last five starts.
The Dominican, who turned 24 years old last week, was 0-1 with two no- decisions in his initial three starts of the season, but has subsequently gone 3-1 in his last four while dropping his earned run average from 6.19 to 5.54.
He was a 6-3 winner over Texas in his most recent start on May 7 after allowing two earned runs on five hits in six innings.
He got a no-decision in one career start against the Reds after allowing two hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
The Reds won nine of 15 games with the Brewers in 2012 and the teams split their series, 8-8, in 2011. Milwaukee hasn't won the season series since 2006.

Giovanni Vittorio Rosi:
A Preliminary Inventory of the Quo Vadis Ballet Collection in the Performing Arts Collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
|Rosi, Giovanni Vittorio (b. 1867)
|Giovanni Vittorio Rosi Quo Vadis Ballet Collection
|circa 1904-1949 (bulk circa 1904-1905)
|2 document boxes, 1 oversize box (1.26 linear feet)
|Quo Vadis, a ballet in five scenes composed by Giovanni Vittorio Rosi and Sam Cudworth circa 1904, was based on the popular 1896 novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz. The Giovanni Vittorio Rosi Quo Vadis Ballet Collection is comprised of a "ballet book" of dance notation, plot synopses, and musical scores.

|Quo Vadis is a ballet in five scenes with libretto by Giovanni Vittorio Rosi and music by Sam Cudworth. Based on the popular 1896 novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz, Rosi's ballet, composed circa 1904, followed several film and stage adaptations. An epic love story set among the early Christians in Nero's Rome, Quo Vadis was again adapted as a ballet in 1906 (titled Eunice) by Leonide Massine.
|Dancer, choreographer, director, and teacher Giovanni Vittorio Rosi was born in Rome in 1867 and trained at La Scala in Milan. An ambassador for the systematic training and technical innovations of the Italian School of ballet teaching and composition, he directed corps de ballet and taught dancers in various locations around the world, including Japan and Los Angeles, in the early twentieth century. From 1904 to 1908, he is known to have directed ballets at the Alhambra Music Hall in London. Although Quo Vadis was not among them, it may have been choreographed in London during this time period. Nothing is known of the biography or works of Quo Vadis's composer, Sam Cudworth.
|The Giovanni Vittorio Rosi Quo Vadis Ballet Collection is comprised of a "ballet book" of dance notation, plot synopses, and musical scores. The ballet book is hardbound and contains handwritten lists of characters, settings, and dances and a scene-by-scene description of the ballet in French, in addition to the dance notation. The notation takes the form of stamped and hand-colored figures with hand-drawn lines to indicate movement, superimposed on paper pre-printed with the backdrops for the scenes. On the facing page, a table lists the dancers and their positions in the scene depicted on the opposite side.
|The description of Quo Vadis written in the ballet book also exists in the collection in the form of individual manuscripts and typescripts, written in French, Italian, or English. The remainder of the collection is made up of musical scores, including the piano score, dated 1904, and the orchestral score, dated 1905. Scores for individual orchestral parts are undated and may be more recent; a clipping from 1949 regarding the upcoming film version of Quo Vadis was found among them.
