Even if you already have the perfect ring, it's still okay to ogle!
Multi-Stone Engagement Ring
The center of this stunner is actually made up of nine smaller diamonds set in the most eye-catching combination -- it looks just like an emerald-cut stone. The look is just as extravagant, but not quite as costly as one standout stone.

Finding that perfect wedding day hairstyle is no easy task. You've got to take your dress, makeup, accessories -- not to mention veil -- into account! Here, three of the most popular styles on TheKnot.com…
Taking care of your skin isn't easy. It takes time (like start now) and a solid routine to get flawless wedding day skin.
Skincare Tip: Don't Use a Washcloth
Here's a secret most dermatologists will tell you: Don't use a washcloth on your face. According to Amy Wechsler, MD, a psychiatrist, dermatologist and author of The Mind-Beauty Connection: 9 Days to Less Stress, Gorgeous Skin and a Whole New You, washcloths can carry bacteria. Instead, use just your hands.
I have to admit I'm a sucker for a pretty wedding cake.
In the world of wedding cakes, it's not just cut and dry anymore -- you've got fondant, Italian buttercream icing, ombre frosting, elaborate spun sugar toppers…and I'm running out of breath! I've pulled a few of my favorites together for you to feast your eyes on.

My bridesmaid wants to wear her dress before my wedding. I'm so annoyed!
Q. My bridesmaid wants to wear her dress before my wedding. I'm so annoyed! Is that normal for bridesmaids and am I overreacting???
Take it as a compliment. Nice work choosing a dress your friends actually like -- so much that they want to wear it right away! In terms of etiquette, there's no rule in the books about wearing the dress before the day, but it's fair to say that it was meant for your wedding and shouldn't be worn before then.
Can we just announce our engagement by emailing guests a link to our website?
Q. Is it okay to announce our engagement by emailing guests our wedding website?
In a word, yes. While you don't want your close friends and family to find out about your engagement via a website (it seems cold and impersonal), it's perfectly fine to let everyone else find out when the save-the-dates roll in or they hear the news from someone else.
My mom is throwing us a surprise engagement party but she's not paying for dinner or drinks...
Q. My mom is throwing us a surprise engagement party but she's not paying for dinner or drinks -- tacky?
Here's the deal about engagement parties... they can be anything from a backyard barbecue to a full-on cocktail party. So even though bites and booze aren't going to be free, at least your mom is organizing a time where everyone can be together to celebrate your newly engaged status.
There are so many trends to try that came out of last season's Bridal Fashion Week -- check out our favorite trends from 2012.
1. Ruffles
This fun and flattering trend is even making its way to cakes and décor details at weddings. I love how the frothy, airy ruffles are twirled together to create movement in the dress.

Texas Tech baseball SID Scott Lacefield compiled a list of all former Texas Tech baseball players currently in the major and minor leagues. For a complete list of all the players.
Read the complete list here: http://bit.ly/1qzajrw
Texas Tech sophomore first baseman Eric Gutierrez is one of eight players in the country that will compete in the fifth-annual TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby set for July 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Omaha.
The contest will air live on ESPN.
Texas Tech pitcher Chris Sadberry has agreed to terms with the Miami Marlins, the team that drafted him in the sixth round, according to an announcement Sunday by Tech.
Sadberry, a junior during the 2014 season, will give up his final year of college eligibility. He will report Monday to the Marlins' spring-training facility in Jupiter, Florida, according to Tech.
Sadberry, a lefthander, went 5-3 with a 3.03 earned-run average this season. He made 17 starts, the most by a Tech pitcher since 2006, and threw a team-high 95 innings. He walked 25 and struck out 65.
Texas Tech junior catcher Hunter Redman has agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers and will report this week to Arizona, site of the organization's spring training facilities.
Redman is most likely be headed to the Rookie Pioneer League (Ogden Raptors) or the Class-A Midwest League (Great Lakes Loons).
Tim Tadlock didn't want to gripe.
The Texas Tech baseball coach liked the setting.
He said TD Ameritrade Park is a beautiful ballpark.
But, it hurt Texas Tech at the College World Series — even if Tadlock wouldn't come out and say it outright.
Instead, he relied on the usual: "It's a game of inches. An inch here, inch there, the game can go either way."
The truth, though, is that the three top-scoring teams in the CWS field, Texas Tech, Louisville and Ole Miss, are a combined 2-5.
No matter the outcome, Lubbock loves its Red Raiders.
Fans gathered Wednesday at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport to welcome the Texas Tech baseball team back to the Hub City.
The team returned from Omaha, Nebraska, after competing at the College World Series. The Red Raiders were eliminated after first losing to TCU and then Ole Miss.
Longtime friend and supporter of the team Christi Belshe, a Tech softball player, said she is proud of the players for everything they accomplished on the season.
OMAHA, Neb. — For the first three innings Tuesday, Texas Tech got a base runner with one out.
Second baseman Bryant Burleson doubled in the first inning, Ryan Long doubled in the second and Frenship product Stephen Smith singled in the third.
All three were stranded.
In the fifth, Devon Conley got his eighth bunt base hit of the season to start the inning.
He then stole second base and Smith walked on a full count. But, Burleson hit a shallow fly ball and once again Ole Miss pitcher Christian Trent got out of the inning unscathed.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
"Mania" opens at Borg Ward
Much of the art that Jesse Engelbrecht makes is done in the depths of night and – one would gather – the aritst's psyche, too. He describes his art making practice as unrelenting and rhythmic, a dervish-like improvisation on paper. There is no time to consider. The truth just ends up on the page, he says.
Engelbrecht, a 2008 graduate of the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, will open his first solo show at the Borg Ward Friday. The gallery promises an "explosive" installation of hundreds of drawings for the show, titled "Mania."
A reception will be held Friday from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Borg Ward, 823 W. National Ave.

Many people said it was not only their favorite show, but their favorite Gallery Night ever!!! Prominent members of the art community hailed the show explosive, exciting, and a huge success. This is surely going to be one of the most important and influential shows in the city. The show will be up until Oct. 31 and can be seen at any of the Borg Ward's upcoming shows, or by appointment. Thanks to the Journal Sentinel for helping to get the word out about this sensational art show!!!
Now, keep your eyes peeled for Mania Presents: Kyle Sartorelli!!! Kyle will be installing his first solo exhibition at the Borg Ward. Opening will be Nov. 6th. The show will be co-curated by Jesse Engelbrecht. Kyle graduated from MIAD in 2008 and is sure to be one of Milwaukee's hottest young artists.

Intervention Techniques
Focus on stopping the behavior after it gets started
It is important that inappropriate behavior is sanctioned. For example:
- Monitor student behavior and promptly apply negative consequences for misbehavior.
- Draw upon a wide array of intervention strategies when a difficult situation arises.
- Create a sense of fairness by matching your intervention to the severity of the offense.
- Apply consequences consistently.
When establishing consequences, i.e., interventions, think of them in a hierarchy from least intrusive to most severe. From clarification to a warning to a teacher/student conference to contacting the parent to referral. Develop a range of minor interventions to use without interrupting the instructional flow of the class. Use the lowest-level sanction possible that will correct the problem behavior. As the serioiusness escalates or repeats, move up the hierarchy or "ladder" of consequences.
Interventions will fall into one of the following categories: minor, moderate, and serious.
Use nonverbal cues: eye contact, frown, gesture
Move closer
Direct a question
Change activity/
Redirect to task
Issue brief desist/ warning
Ask student to state the rule broken
Change seat
Withhold privilege
Assign a penalty
Contact parent
Assign after-school detention
Write behavior contract
Send to principal's office
Arrange formal parent conference
Refer to counselor/
Refer to alternate school setting
Suspend student

Even though the Packers have all of those players on the inactive list, the Vikings still would have whooped the Packers and made them smell as if they cut the big cheese.

I know Cobb is injured…but are Driver and Woodson injured too? Or are they out for a different reason? I obviously haven't been paying much attention…Green Bay can still kick butt though!
By James on Dec 30, 2012 | Reply
Woodson is out to preserve him for the postseason. Driver is out probably because they are going to use Boykin or the receiver that returned kicks and punts last game when Cobb got hurt.

Go get em Pack! Let's make it 10 out of the last 11 and secure that first round bye…… GO PACK GO !

I predict that next week will be a much different game with Cobb and Woodson back.
Go Pack Go!!!

How Can I Make a Clear, Scum-Free Chicken Broth or Soup?
Good Questions
Q: Whenever I make chicken soup or need to put chicken of any kind into a soup, the broth gets scummy or has floaties in it from the chicken — help! I just want to make a beautiful clear soup with chicken in it!
Sent by Bethany
Editor: Bethany, this is a really normal effect when cooking chicken (or any kind of meat). Any foam can be skimmed off the top with a skimmer, or you can strain the broth through a cheesecloth if you want it super clear.
Readers, what are your best tips for making a clear, pristine chicken broth?

You can use an egg boat or you can use gelatin clarification
You need to clarify your liquid: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/592790
I've also found that using a slow-cooker (no stirring!) leads to clearer broths and stocks.
I prefer to skim the foam off the top, but leave all the herbs in. If you don't, use a strainer with very fine mesh. That will take everything out, including all of the herbs.
First of all you CANNOT let the broth come to a boil at any time if you want it to be clear. A low simmer at most. Boiling makes broth cloudy. Next, you'll have to strain it through a cheesecloth or coffee filters. All clear broths are strained to remove the floaty bits and the froth that forms on top. If you want a super clear consomme broth you can use an egg white to clarify it: http://localkitchenblog.com/2009/04/22/how-to-clarify-cloudy-chicken-stock/
No boiling.
Allow the water to come to a boil and then hold at a simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour before you add anything besides chicken. Makes it easier to skim. Skim, then add your herbs and veg.
When done, remove the chicken parts and then use a fine mesh strainer lined or not with cheesecloth.
I prefer to remove the chicken fat the next day after chilling. If you are messy or hurried with the straining, the floaties usually come to the top and bottom and can be removed again if needed.
If must be absolutely clear, you have to use an egg white floatie.
I strain it through a fine sieve, and then let it sit in the fridge overnight. That way, like JudiAU, I can remove some of the fat and any of the other stuff that may have either floated to the top or sunk to the bottom.
Thomas Keller mentions that he removes as much of the fat as possible from the meat before he even starts the stock, one of the reasons for cloudiness is emulsification of the fat, the less fat you have to begin with the less fat you have to worry about emulsifying. Though I mostly like to use egg white to clarify because I like a very pretty stock, some people don't like it because you take some of the flavor along with it. Cold clarification by gelatin is another option, but then you end up with flavored water instead of stock, the natural gelatin gives texture and depth to the stock.
I've been making my broth in the slow cooker. Just leave the Crockpot on overnight, use a slotted spoon to take out the bones, herbs, and vegetables, and then slowly ladle the liquid through a fine sieve with a moistened coffee filter. It takes a bit longer but my stock is always super clear.
Beat together 2 egg whites and one egg shell. Drop into the simmering broth for 5 minutes. Skim off the egg scum that will cling together, then strain through cheesecloth. Clear as a bell.
Watch any of Heston Blumenthal's shows from the BBC. He freezes his stock then allows it to thaw on a cheesecloth in a bowl. All the gunk is trapped by the cloth and brilliantly clear consomme/stock is below.
I love soup! We usually make soup with chicken or pig bones for the stock.
You can put all the meat and bones in a cloth bag with any of the herbs and spices you might be using. The flavour gets out into the soup, but all the scum stays inside. After you're done you can throw whatever's inside and reuse the bag. The cloth bag should be the cheesecloth/muslin kind.
We usually just scald any meat and bones we want to put in the soup then throw the gunk-filled water away. Then after the soup's done in the crock pot, we strain it through a fine sieve before serving.
Strain it. Put cheesecloth ( or even paper towels) in the bottom of a colander and pour it through. I don't advocate taking the fat out as that is where the flavor is.
Two extra questions about making stocks, if you please,
1. How do you get stock to gel-a-fy? I can't seem to get my meat stocks to a gelatious consistancy.
2. How nutrious are stocks? Do they just carry flavour or do they have some base level nutrient value? I normally add white vinegar to the bone stock to draw out the calicum in the bones into the liquid but not sure if that too isn't a falsehood.
I get impatient and use a pressure cooker for my meat stocks, I don't mind if they are cloudy, clear would be better but I don't do that type of dishes that demand a crystal clear stock.
It's kind of funny, but I found my great grandmother's hand written book of household tips, from the turn of the century Ukraine and it suggested dipping a teaspoon of black caviar in a cheese cloth into the broth to make the broth clear. XD
Wendy, if you're having trouble getting stock to thicken, you should look at what kind of meat you're simmering, and how long you're doing so. The more connective tissue your stock contains-- tough cuts of meat, gristle, and bone are best for this-- the more gelatin will dissolve into your stock, and to get the gelatin to dissolve you need it to simmer for a while. Bone is the best, because its gelatin is easy to dissolve, but larger bones will release marrow, which is both dark and fatty, making the broth less clear. Rib-bones are fantastic for this, as are vertebrae (why oxtail soup is so good!) and (if you can get them) hooves.
When I find an especially good pile of bones, I will often boil them down into the richest, most gelatinous stock possible, then freeze it-- either in cubes or in ziploc bags-- in small portions, to... ahem... beef up later soups that need substance. I guess you could just try dissolving some unflavored gelatin in water and simmering it into your broth, too, since that's about the same thing.
Thanks elise_the_great,
From reading this plus some of the other tips further up I suspect its because I use a pressure cooker. The flavour is there in the stock but just not that jelly like texture.
I normally just make chicken or veggie stocks so will try a good beef bone stock this weekend in the crockpot and see how I go.
Thanks again
I've never used a pressure cooker, so I am sadly ignorant of their ways. I do know that getting a veggie stock to gel is quite difficult-- if you don't mind adding gelatin, it's easier, but gelatin isn't vegetarian! I've heard of people using agar, or gumbo file, or cornstarch... but I prefer a good old-fashioned roux with my veggie broth, and I don't expect it to gel.
Tom Colicchio recommends putting chicken in a pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, simmer for a couple minutes, and then remove chicken. Dump the water and start again. This should remove all the debris, so your stock will be clearer.

Publication: theday.com
Despite fire codes or even the pure physical limitations of Available Space, it seemed that most if not all of the approximate 28,000 residents of New London happily crammed inside the Six String Café Saturday night to see a fine two-band bill featuring Brooklyn's Heap and a debut performance by local group The 3-Pack.
All due credit to Heap — fronted by New London native Tim Heap, a terrific rock songwriter whose wit and energy explodes onstage — it's true that a lot of the turnout was for The 3-Pack.
Comprised of ex-Reducers Peter Detmold, Hugh Birdsall and Tom Trombley, and formed out of love and camaraderie following the 2012 passing of bassist Steve Kaika, The 3-Pack overcame a bit of admitted performance anxiety with a short but wonderful set of new songs and clever cover tunes by artists who'd influenced or resonated with The Reducers in formative years.
The seasonal timing of the show was fortuitously symbolic. While it's true that The 3-Pack had to individually and collectively reach this point — deciding whether to play again at all after Kaika's death, then whether to do so in public, and finally writing new songs and arranging empathetic material — that they debuted on Thanksgiving weekend was special. For most of The Reducers' four-decade run, their annual Saturday shows on Turkey Day weekend were some of the most highly anticipated annual events in the whole region.
As for the music, there are obvious stylistic similarities between The 3-Pack and The Reducers. But Saturday's intro to the new trio indicated a focus on older rock 'n' roll – the archival sort that would later segue into the punk and pub rock so prevalent in The Reducers' work. Instead of touchstones such as Brinsley Schwartz or The Clash, there were cheerful echoes of earlier Chuck Berryisms.
The 3-P originals indicated exuberant craft, hooks and an acute lyrical narrative — sometimes bittersweet, sometimes hilarious — that seemed reflective of their musical past and lives together. This material was split equally with cover songs that were lovingly handled as though by museum curators — albeit curators who gleefully wielded drums, electric instruments and powerful amplifiers.
Steve Kaika woulda been proud – and so are we all.
For posterity's sake, and with the gracious help of Soundman Jason at the Six String Café, here is video footage and audio of the entire 3-Pack performance recorded through the mixing board and with an ambient room mic — and below is the set list. Cover tunes are noted.
Oh, and by the way, the Six String Café — formerly the Bank Street Café — seemed to score big points with first-time visitors to the newly refurbished club.
"Talk to Loretta" (Boston's the Nervous Eaters)
"Come Back Baby"
"Jeanie, Jeanie, Jeanie" (Eddie Cochran)
"Cadillac Walk" (Mink Deville's arrangement of a Moon Martin song)
"That's Alright"
"Goddamn Good Old Days"
"Tomorrow Never Knows"
"Unless You're Ready to Go"
"Outsider" (The Ramones)
"Pretty Little Lights of Town" (LeRoi Brothers)
"Rave On" (Buddy Holly)
"Can't Afford to Do It" (Fleetwood Mac's arrangement of a Homesick James tune)

An eastern Iowa candy company is looking to win with the help of some "losers" at this year's Academy Awards.
Betty Jane Candies in Dubuque will be featured in a gift bag given to nominees in several categories during this year's Academy Awards.
Drew Siegert is the president of Betty Jane Candies in Dubuque.
"It's called, 'Everybody Wins at the Oscars,'" Siegert said. "So it's all of the 'losers' in the top five categories -- the people who don't take home a statue -- get this gift bag. The categories are Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Director, and the host also gets one."
Siegert said the gift bags will include Betty Jane Candies Gremlins, Caramels, Sea Salt Caramels and English Almond Toffee.
"We really enjoy being able to take, not just Iowa, but Dubuque, and put them on the national stage from time to time, too," Siegert said. "It's pretty neat to be a part of that."
Siegert said the bag is valued at least at $55,000 and includes a trip to Japan and Las Vegas among the items.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin cancer patients would start getting affordable chemotherapy pills on January 1st, if a bill that regulates the pills' insurance becomes law.
The Assembly passed an amended bill early last Friday. The Senate plans to vote on it next Tuesday. Final passage is expected, and Governor Scott Walker has agreed to sign it.
Insurance companies would have to cover chemotherapy pills the same way they cover IV chemo treatments at hospitals -- or else there would be a $100 monthly limit on out of pocket costs for the pills.
Patients have been asking for insurance coverage on the more convenient but very expensive chemo pills. As predicted, the issue has attracted strong bipartisan support in the Legislature.
The original Senate bill which mandated insurance for chemo pills passed 30-2. The Assembly bill with the co-payment cap passed 75-18.
Janesville Senate Democrat Tim Cullen called the amendment "absurd and unreasonable" but stopped short of saying he would vote against it.
GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said the co-payment option could let insurers negotiate lower prices with drug companies -- thus helping patients and their employer provided health plans.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
For the second year in a row, the 2008 vintage started off with a very dry
spring, which typically produces smaller clusters, smaller berries, and less
canopy overall. Frost visited many vineyards over several nights in April,
further reducing potential yield. Then a hot spell engulfed the region in the
middle of May, while grape clusters were flowering, again
threatening to lower yields. The main
growing season, however, was
without incident, with warm to hot
days and cool nights the rule,
and all of this cabernet was
harvested between September 11th
and October 27th.
Aromas of blackberry, cocoa, and
currant lead to a rich, layered
mouthfeel, replete with black cherry,
cedar, and cassis, and structured with
lush, mature tannins. Enjoy this
seductive cabernet sauvignon
now and over the next several years.

(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Reel World
Architecture on Screen—As part of Albuquerque's ongoing Tricentennial celebration, the city is sponsoring a night of short film screenings at the Guild Cinema in Nob Hill. September has been named Architecture Month, so the city has teamed with the American Institute of Architects-New Mexico to present "In Focus: Architecture in Film." The screening will consist of three short documentaries, each concentrating on one of the architecture world's most famous figures. Antonio Gaudi (designer of Barcelona's Cathedral of the Sagrada Familia), Frank Lloyd Wright (designer of Pennsylvania's Falling Water) and Frank Geary (designer of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles) are the three subjects. The films are simple introductions to and interviews with the subjects at hand, so an advanced knowledge of architecture is not necessary--just an appreciation of beautiful buildings. Yours truly, Alibi's humble film editor, will be on hand to introduce the films and to give a (decidedly) uneducated perspective on the proceedings. The screening starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. The event is free and open to the public. Call 260-0571 for more info.
Film Review
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Laura Linney is "Perry Mason: Paranormal Litigator"
After a summer of stultifyingly formulaic films, it rests on the shoulders of the fall movie season to provide some relief. To give credit where credit is due, writer/director Scott Derrickson (writer of Urban Legends: Final Cut, director of Hellraiser: Inferno and lover of colons) has come up with an arguably original idea--namely, the world's first courtroom horror drama. Instead of the hoped-for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup combination of chocolate and peanut butter, however, Derrickson's film ends up as an unholy mixture of oil and water.

Eye-opening look behind the Bamboo Curtain shows North Koreans just want to dance, dance, dance

Other than that, you ignore it completely. Until a hurricane shows up. And then you're glued to it like weather porn.

Over the last few years, AJ Fernandez has really come into his own. This former protégé of Don Alejandro Robaina made a big splash a few years ago with brands like Rocky Patel Fusion, Man O' War and Padilla Habano. But since then, his work has evolved and improved to a whole new level. At hand are some of the newer offerings from AJ's Nicaraguan-based factory. And each one is truly spectacular.
The Nicaraguan 5-Star Sampler includes:
1 - 5 Vegas Triple-A (5" x 56)
1 - Diesel Unlimited d.X (belicoso) (5.75" X 56)
1 - Est. 1844 Anejado No. 50-xtra (6.0" x 50)
1 - La Herencia Cubana CORE Toro (6.5" x 52)
1 - Man O' War Ruination Robusto #1 (5.5" x 54)
"These were highly enjoyable, smoked 4 of them already."
"These were pretty tasty, good sampler for someone who doesn't know what they like yet."
"Good smokes!"
"A few OK cigars in this sampler (the 1844 and the Diesel)...."

Some homeschoolers have a new option for completing their school work.
EVSC's Virtual Academy, typically for those in high school, is now open to kids in Kindergarten through Eighth grade.
Right now, about 150 high school students use the curriculum.
The lessons, based on the common core, are taught online by certified teachers.
Program Director Janet Leistner says they've had a lot of success with their high school students, and they think that will translate with the younger children as well.
"And as well develop our K through Eight, we want to be able to offer good options for people who do decide on home schooling," Leistner said. "There's lots of different ways to educate kids nowadays, technology is a great source to use but it's only as good as you use it. That's why we want to make sure our teachers are very interactive with our students."
Any parents or students who want to learn more about the virtual academy can attend a meeting Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center on Lynch Road.

Moving Cancer Stem Cells toward the Clinic
The science of cancer stem cells and how the cells might be used to prevent and detect cancer was the focus of a workshop last week on the NIH campus. The meeting was sponsored by NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP).
Several hundred researchers heard presentations on what is known - and not known - about the molecular biology of cancer stem cells. Experts discussed genetic and epigenetic alterations, signaling pathways, and influence of the tumor microenvironment on cancer stem cells.
Many researchers were enthusiastic about one day using cancer stem cells in the clinic. But they acknowledged that a lack of cancer stem cells (and patient samples) is preventing the field from exploring basic questions, such as the origins of these cells.
"The meeting reinforced the view that we need to develop technologies to isolate and characterize cancer stem cells," said Dr. Sudhir Srivastava of DCP. "Time and again people talked about having cell lines and culture systems so that more laboratories can study these cells."
Recent studies have supported a role for cancer stem cells in early detection, noted Dr. Srivastava, who heads the Cancer Biomarkers Research Group. But the studies have not been replicated because of a lack of adequate cancer stem cell samples from patients.
Cancer stem cells are hard to isolate because they are so rare - perhaps as few as one tumor cell in a million. The first such cells were discovered in patients with leukemia in 1997. More recently, the cells have been reported in breast, colon, and brain tumors.
Like the stem cells that repopulate adult tissues, cancer stem cells are thought to perpetuate themselves while also giving rise to diverse types of tumor cells.
In a keynote address, Dr. Michael Clarke of Stanford University said that it will be important to have diagnostic tests that can identify precancerous lesions. By the time cancer stem cells develop it is often too late to help the patient, he noted.
Dr. Clarke also stressed the critical need to understand the mechanisms by which cells escape the normal constraints on self-proliferation.
Another keynote speaker, Dr. Stewart Sell of the Ordway Research Institute, discussed how the tumor microenvironment may influence the behavior of cancer stem cells. The surrounding environment may be as important as the intrinsic properties of the cancer stem cell, he said.
He and others discussed the need to characterize genetic pathways that are deregulated in cancer stem cells, particularly those involved in self-renewal. This could lead to strategies for identifying and blocking key signals in mutant stem cells.
Cancer stem cells could also be targets for drugs to prevent cancer in patients at risk of the disease, including those with premalignant lesions, commented Dr. James Crowell, who heads NCI's Chemopreventive Agents Development Research Group.
The need for cancer stem cell markers was a recurrent theme. Many researchers said that multiple markers may be required to capture the genetic diversity of cancers.
Building on the success of the workshop, DCP is consulting with experts on how best to support basic research on cancer stem cells that can be translated into clinical tools.
Drs. Jacob Kagan and Levy Kopelovich of DCP, who organized the workshop, are writing a summary of the meeting and recommendations for publication.

If you have cold symptoms that won't go away, it may not be a cold. It may be asthmatic bronchitis. KKTV reported it going around a few weeks ago.
Dr. Tom Bartlett with Mountain View Medical Group says it still has a hold of folks in the central part of the Springs.
He says it starts with an upper respiratory infection. That includes symptoms like nasal congestion, cough, headache, mild muscle aches and pains and a low-grade fever.
Treatment includes inhalers, antibiotics and sometimes steroids.
Also going around this week… more influenza.
This is happening on the southwest side of town, according to Dr. Steven Reich with C.S.H.P. reports more cases in his office.
He says it may seem like a bad cold, with lots of coughing. But you may want to see your doctor just in case.

Ever since Dave Grohl announced that he'd be playing a concert with some of the artists from his Sound City documentary during next week's Sundance Film Festival, fans have been wondering who the Foo Fighters frontman will perform with. On Tuesday, Grohl delivered the answer in the form of a photo posted on the Foo Fighters Facebook page of two of the members of the Sound City Players .
The photo features Foos drummer Taylor Hawkins seated behind the drum kit, Queens of the Stone Age multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes on guitar, and shows Grohl playing bass. The caption for the picture reads: "Oh you want pic proof? OK. Sound City Movie Band practice day 2. Wonder who's coming to practice tomorrow..."
Grohl's Sound City Players concert will take place on January 18 at Park City Live in Park City, Utah. That's the same day that Sound City premieres at the Sundance Film Festival.
Sound City profiles the legendary Sound City Studios, where Grohl and Nirvana recorded the band's 1991 iconic album, Nevermind , and features interviews and exclusive performances from artists who have recorded at the famous studio during their careers. In addition to Hawkins and Johannes, other artists featured in the film and on its soundtrack include Queens of the Stone Age 's Josh Homme , Rage Against the Machine 's Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk , Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor , Slipknot / Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor , former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic , and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear .

Comfy! A little snug......
By: willryan042
My girlfriend bought me these Wrangler Jeans because I needed a pair of dress pants and she never likes the ones I pick out for myself (typical, huh?). A buddy of mine has a similar pair (not sure if they're the exact same ones) and he recommended these to her. The fit was a little snug compared to my regular jean size, but your mileage may vary. I normally wear a size 30 waist and would exchange them for the 31 if I was not so impatient. Look good, feel good, would definitely recommend! Overall they're a great jean and so far I've gotten a lot of compliments on them.

The Trip to the Bottom Continues…..
William is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On Nov. 1, specialty apparel retailer Body Central (NASDAQ: BODY) came out with its earnings announcement and had its conference call. This announcement confirms that Body Central's trip to the fundamental bottom continues. Its comparable store sales declined 12%. Net revenue edged ahead a mere 1.2% due to unjustified store expansion. Net income declined to $153,000 versus $2.8 million this time last year. After four months of observing Body Central I came up with four issues that this company can't seem to resolve. It's "curtains" for this company unless they can come up with some viable solutions for these problems.
1.) Management Issues - Since July Body Central lost two key members of management. On July 3 Martin Doolan retired due to health reasons. B. Allen Weinstein stepped down following a disappointing earnings announcement on Aug. 2. Chief Financial Officer Thomas Stoltz is currently filling in as interim CEO. As of Nov. 1, the board has yet to find a viable permanent CEO.
According to the conference call, Body Central still needs a General Merchandise manager that will report to Mrs. Angelo. Body Central did find a candidate that will run its e-commerce division. Body Central can use all the help it can get in order to market an assortment of merchandise that people will pay a decent price for.
2.) Inventory - Body Central has trouble selling its inventory at full price. Paraphrasing Stoltz, with clearance inventory at more normal levels the company can test new styles and trends. In other words they are playing catch up.
Other seemingly reactionary measures include the implementations of inventory systems enhancements such as handheld scanners and uniformity of store appearance. Mr. Stoltz said handheld scanners would cut back on man hours as it would streamline the process of pricing and markdowns. I always assumed that handheld scanners and uniformity of store appearance was a given for any chain of stores.
3.) Unnecessary Expansion - An analyst in the conference call expressed concerns about inventory enhancements, implementation of a new human resources system, and a new distribution center serving as a distraction to the merchandise team. There were other concerns about hiring additional people to make all this happen and related selling, general and administrative costs.
I agree with these concerns. Given the difficulties of Body Central, management has no business pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy. Stoltz couldn't give specifics about the location of the new distribution center which didn't instill confidence.
4.) Falling Behind - Body Central ranks in the center among its listed competitors.
One of Body Central's listed competitors rue21 (NASDAQ: RUE) seems to fare the best with a double digit increase of 17% in revenue and a 0.5% increase in comparable store sales according to its most recent earnings announcement. This retailer appeals to a wider demographic including males and females.
Body Central's second listed competitor Wet Seal (NASDAQ: WTSL) has had troubles that make Body Central's look like a cakewalk. Investor groups have been taking measures to install new management for Wet Seal, but fundamentals continue to nosedive. For the month of October, comparable store sales declined nearly 8% and revenue declined 5% versus October of 2011.
While Body Central's comparable store sales and miniscule increase in revenue is shadowed by rue21, it still compares favorably to Wet Seal. However, if Body Central's fundamentals degradation continues; it could wind up in the same boat as Wet Seal.
Body Central suffers from many problems. Management vacancies don't bode well for a company looking to expand. It really needs to get its act together on inventory and start selling something that people want. Expansion plans need to be halted while it cleans up its act. No point in adding on rooms to a collapsing house. The way I see it Body Central's trip to the bottom continues.

The Best Baby Toys—That Won't Break the Bank!
Even if you don't own every toy in existence, your baby is going to be just fine. Promise! In fact, you need not look beyond your own four walls to find plenty of items that will occupy his interest and stimulate his brain.
Give your baby a single sheet of blank paper, and he might amuse himself for minutes on end waving it around, or trying to tear it into a hundred tiny pieces. The activity can help him practice his dexterity. FYI: infants' movements aren't smooth enough for them to get paper cuts.
Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls
These offer several fun advantages. 1: They're shiny and reflective. 2: They're fun to bang on. 3: They make an interesting noise when rattling against the ground. And 4: They're fun to bang on! What more could a baby want?
Computer Keyboard
Remember that old keyboard you kept just in case? Find it, dust it off, and let Baby at it! Babies love rapping (OK, pounding) on the keys and enjoying the clacking sounds they make. Be sure to secure the loose cable to the back of the keyboard with duct tape.
From the age of 5 months or so, babies love banging on the piano. Benefits include practice with hand-eye coordination, learning about cause and effect (he learns that by hitting the keys, he's the one making those sounds), and, best of all, a developing ear for music.
Plastic balls, rubber balls, soccer balls—any ball large enough not to be swallowed is a good, engaging toy for a baby. By the time your baby is 5 or 6 months old, Baby will enjoy passing the ball back and forth with you.
Television Remote
Break out the TV remote. Babies love pressing buttons. And, if you have a remote with a red light that goes on whenever a button is pressed, the toy becomes even more fun and educational—your infant will be spellbound by the light appearing and disappearing.
Empty Plastic Bottles
The smaller the bottle, the better for little hands to manipulate. The larger ones can provide lots of fun, too, by being rolled back and forth or knocked ahead only to rotate back. And when he's done with the bottle, it's never too early to teach him to recycle!
Used Toilet Roll Tubes
Why do babies love toilet paper rolls? They're easy for little hands to grasp, they're stiff, so your baby won't destroy them in five minutes, and they can be banged against other objects without harmful consequences.
The faces, bands, and buckles of watches make them fascinating objects for infants. They may serve you particularly well at the changing table when your baby reaches the age at which he prefers to flip over instead of waiting for you to finish the job.
Face it: your baby's favorite toy is you. And why not? Just think how exciting a thing you are, with fingers that move around in captivating ways, a nose that sticks out, and features capable of endless amusing expressions. Man, are you cool or what?
15 Ways to Avoid Potentially Dangerous ToysWhen you think about what toys to avoid letting your baby or toddler play with, the rules are quite practical. Use these guidelines, from The Safe Baby: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Home Safety and Healthy Living, Expanded and Revised.view gallery

Cafe Greco; South Yarra.
Cafe Greco
560 Chapel Street
South Yarra
Cafe Greco in Crown was one of my favourite haunts for sweet treats many years ago. The one in South Yarra, not so much. We were in the neighbourhood and wanted to grab a quick bite before a movie. Caffe e Cucina's kitchen didn't open till 12pm, so we found ourselves in Cafe Greco.
Walking in, it was quite worn, with its red vinyl booths.
With the bountiful multitude of breakfast places we have in Melbourne - be it Three Bags Full, Proud Mary, St Ali, Pillar of Salt, I really don't know how we wound up here. If I had it my way we would have been at Mama Baba, Le Petit Francais Creperie, The Final Step, The Drugstore Espresso.
Eggs Benedict - Ham, Poached Egg with Hollandaise on Sourdough ($14)
Surely anything would have been better than this.
Raisin Toast ($5)
Maybe I am a little harsh, having been spoilt by Auction Rooms, Chez Dre .. and the list really can go on. So really, what was I doing here.
