FBI agents who were inside the Rhode Island home of Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev's in-laws and carried away several bags. One bag reportedly contained DNA samples belonging to a woman.
Katherine Russell, Tsarnaev's widow, has been staying there.
The elder Tsarnaev was killed in a gun battle with police. His brother Dzhokhar has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction.
Russell didn't speak as she left her attorneys' office in Providence on Monday. Attorney Amato DeLuca said she is doing everything she can to assist with the investigation.
Attorneys have said Russell and her family were in shock when they learned of the allegations against her husband and brother-in-law.
Their mother calls the allegations lies.

Several sites have noted that the Norwegian state broadcaster has decided to set up their own BitTorrent tracker and start offering content through this form of distribution on a more regular basis. The tracker is based on the same OpenTracker software that the Pirate Bay has been using for the last couple of years. But it will only be used to distribute content from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.

WomenCare WNY » Services » Gynecologic Surgery
Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery treats benign and malignant gynecological conditions.
Unlike traditional open surgery, in which the physician makes a long incision to access the anatomy, minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions, resulting in faster recovery and less pain for the patient.
Many gynecological procedures are performed laparoscopically. To see inside the abdomen, the surgeon inserts a small telescope into the abdomen through a small incision. Tiny surgical instruments inserted through other small incisions repair the problem.
Minimally invasive surgery may also be robotic-assisted. As a result of technological advancements in surgery, even the most complex benign and malignant gynecologic conditions can now be treated in a minimally invasive fashion.
Watch our video to hear Dr. Scott Zuccala discuss the advantages of operating with a state-of-the-art robotic surgical system.
Pelvic reconstructive surgery is the surgical restoration of pelvic anatomy when normal support is compromised, also referred to as pelvic prolapse.
Prolapse (or falling) of pelvic organs (vagina, uterus, bladder or rectum) occurs when the supportive structures holding the organs in their natural positions are severely weakened. The weakening of the supportive tissues may be a result of age, childbirth, and strenuous physical labor. Women with pelvic organ prolapse typically experience difficulty with urination, bowel movement, and sexual function.
Ask Us Anything
Approaches to treat pelvic prolapse:
Insertion of a surgical tape under the bladder to treat urinary incontinence
Removal of the uterus through the vagina
Click here to view our quality scores for hysterectomy.
Urinary incontinence in women can be caused by a variety of medical conditions. One condition called vesicovaginal fistula is caused by a tear in the wall separating the vagina and bladder. The condition can have a devastating psychological impact, especially in young women. Often caused by surgical complications (more than 50% of these fistulas occur after hysterectomy), radiation treatment, or childbirth, vesicovaginal fistulas usually require surgery to repair the opening.
Endometrial ablation destroys the inner lining of the uterus using an electrode that is placed in the cervix and that emits a short burst of radiofrequency energy, no longer than 90 seconds. The entire procedure typically takes less than five minutes and is performed without any incisions. There is no need for general anesthesia and most women report little or no pain. Many return to their regular activities within a day.
During a hysterectomy, the doctor removes the uterus and cervix and, for some conditions, the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United States. It is estimated that each year, 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in this country. However, the majority (65-70%) are still performed using outdated techniques through large abdominal incisions.
Hysterectomies that are performed in a minimally invasive way avoid large abdominal incisions, with faster recovery and less pain.
We offer:
During a laparoscopic hysterectomy, the surgeon uses specialized tools that are inserted through dime-sized incisions in the navel or abdomen. A small camera provides the surgeon with a view of the inside of the abdomen, allowing the surgeon to operate with small, laparoscopic instruments, removing tissue through the tiny incisions. As with vaginal hysterectomy, there is no large abdominal incision. This type of surgery leaves tiny abdominal scars that are about one-half inch each in length. Most patients spend one night in the hospital and resume normal activity in two to four weeks.
Click here to view our quality scores for hysterectomy.
Surgical removal of endometriosis
More than 650,000 women undergo tubal ligation in the United States annually, permanently ending their ability to have children. But what happens if circumstances change?
Studies show that within five years of undergoing a tubal ligation, approximately six percent of women decide they want to reverse the procedure to have a baby.
With the da Vinci robotic tubal reversal procedure, a delicate fallopian tube reconstructive surgery through four tiny dime-sized incisions in the abdomen, patients are able to go home the same day and begin natural conception after a 7 to 10 day recovery period.
Click here for more information.
Cervical cerclage is usually performed on women who have suffered one or more miscarriages in the second trimester because their cervix does not remain closed throughout the pregnancy. The cervix is stitched shut at the beginning of the second trimester and reopened towards the end of the pregnancy when the greatest risk of miscarriage has passed.

Sometimes I drink so much coffee that my mouth actually starts to get this weird sort of raw feeling to it. Like someone took sandpaper to my jaw at night and went to town. When that happens I have to stop drinking it for at least two days. During that time I'm a real prick because I love my morning coffee. It's kind of like I go on the rag. I just thought of that. Pretty clever if I do say so myself.
I don't think anyone is excited about the DVD release of "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" but it's happening and it's my journalistic duty to tell you about the new box art that's been released for the ass-to-mouth opus. The hit goes on sale on Valentines day, of course, and will include director commentary, behind the scenes videos, deleted scenes and some other random goodies. And by goodies I mean stuff that will make you throw up in your mouth.
Speaking of DVD releases, it looks like the A&E miniseries "Bag of Bones", based on the Stephen King novel by the same name will be hitting shelves on March 13th. Which is surprising because I didn't realize it actually aired already. Right now it looks like the only special features being included are a couple of short features about the series, which focuses on a father wrapped up in a bitter custody battle after the death of his wife. So get ready for that hot box to hit... That's what she said.
The birth of my daughter, my wedding day and the release of "Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance". These are the three things I've been most excited about in my lifetime. I put them in that order only because I know my wife reads my news from time to time. So here's a new TV spot for the Nic Cage sequel that hits theaters on February 17th. I love you honey and I'm sorry... just about everything.
And here's a new clip from Ti West's "The Innkeepers" which has already found it's way onto VOD. If you're not up to speed on the flick it focuses on two innkeepers who try to prove their place of employment is haunted before it closes its doors for good. Anyone ever listen to that band Vison Of Disorder. I think about them every time I write about a movie that's hit VOD. Also that it's because of bands like them that I never got laid in High School.
Life is rough on the streets and when you're a homeless man who happens to stumble upon a nice piece of steak you do what you have to in order to enjoy it. Like cut your fellow hobo companion's head off I guess. I don't know, I've pretty much been upper-middle class all my life.
If you haven't seen any of the Chipmunks movies then you're doing yourself a disservice. They're actually a lot of fun. So much fun that this guy in Chicago was so excited while watching the most recent flick that he dropped trow in the theater and showed the audience his nuts. Ya know, because chipmunks loves nuts. It's a pun you jerks.
If I had to list my favorite Afflecks in order of awesomeness Casey would for sure be in the top five. Think it over, I'll wait. Good, now that's your back I'd like to tell you about how Casey Affleck has now been cast in the new flick "Paradise Lost", an epic tale of archangels Michael and Lucifer battling it out and how this impacted the downfall of Adam and Eve. Affleck will play Gabriel and I'd appreciate it if someone who knows about bible stuff tells me if that's a good or a bad thing.
AMC has pulled the trigger on a new talk show that will air immediately following episodes of "The Walking Dead" this fall. The show will be called "The Talking Dead" (get it!?) and be hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick. The more projects this guy takes on the less hope I have for a "Love Line" reunion. Didn't you always want him and Jenny McCarthy to get together? But no that home wrecking tramp Carmen Electra had to come in and ruin it all. Curse you Electra!
Oh Tom Six, you sick sick SOB. Today we've got a new poster for his new film "The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)" which looks to be a lot more human centipedey than the first one. Which I don't think is a good thing but it's something for sure. I don't know what to believe anymore.
And because you needed to see something that would make you want to overdose on some sort of cool drug the kids are doing that I don't know about here's the first full cast image from "Dark Shadows". For those of you not familiar with the original show it's some kind of vampire soap opera where none of the vampires twinkle in the sunlight. I think it was British too. That's a lot to take in isn't it? That's what she said.
I knew this kind of crap happens! Here's an optometrist who's being brought up on charges because he put his penis on a girl's mouth while putting in her eye drops. God only knows what the dentist did to me while I was having my wisdom teeth out. I'm pretty sure them telling me they had to remove them rectally was bull crap.
Oh all the portable devices sure are fun aren't they? Why you can take your movies and fun anywhere these days. Like this guy who's going to jail because he lost his iPad and the person who found it decided to take a look around his hard drive and discovered a bunch of kiddie porn. Technology is super awesome.
Take "The Descent" and replace the monsters with creepy guys and add in more pillowing fighting and you've got "The Hike", a new horror flick from the UK that's got a sassy new trailer out for your viewing pleasure. Yes it looks a movie that's been done before but did I mention pillow fights? Alright the trailer doesn't really have any but I like to think it's going to happen... I've got a good feeling.
The good people behind "Super 8" have done an awesome job at not giving away the "big surprise" of the movie but mother of god over the past few days they've released enough clips to make me wonder if they give a crap anymore. Case in point is this new 6 minute chunk that's hit the tubes. I'm hoping by Friday they release the entire movie in clip form so I don't have to pay to see it. Keep your fingers crossed.
A gaggle of new "Conan the Barbarian" posters have been released and while I know the movie is going to be garbage I can't help but be excited. Except for the one that looks like a poster for a new gay porn, that one I won't get excited for, because that's not my thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
For those of you who thought the original "The Human Centipede" was too tame I've got some exciting news for your sick asses. Tom Six's second film in the series titled "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)" has officially been banned by the UK film board. Apparently it's full of all kinds of sexual deviant type activities and was just too graphic to receive any kind of rating. Are you turned on now? Yeah you are you sick SOB.
Sometimes the stress of being a parent gets to be too much and you don't know what to do. So you turn to the same solution that these parents from Illinois did. In other words you give up and just leave yours kids on the side of the road. Then you go to jail. That last part probably wasn't part of the plan.
Driving drunk with your kids inside of your SUV is awful. But driving drunk while you've got 11 kids stuffed inside your SUV, well that's just impressive. And awful, mostly awful. But at least 50% awesome.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Ainsley and Sam show up in Leo's office. Leo announces that "Dr. Zhivago" is outta there. Sam says that they want to recommend that they back an amendment (endorsed by the Commerce Department) to a bill that would help small businesses with fraud prevention and employee theft. Leo asks whether he's got numbers. Sam hands Leo a file. Sam cites some statistics from an independent study he says he has faith in: "Thirty percent of workers plan to steal from their employers; 30% give in to occasional temptation; 5% will commit fraud regardless of circumstance; 85% will commit fraud given the right circumstances." Sam explains that the "right circumstances" are "need, opportunity, and the ability to rationalize their behaviour." He elaborates that it's called "The Fraud Triangle." He feels that it will help them out when they want to raise the minimum wage, since it's small business owners who are most opposed to hiking it. Leo asks whether Sam wasn't going to go the other way on this; Sam admits he was, but that he got turned around. Leo says, "Okay, good. Thanks." Sam starts to go, Ainsley tries to wedge in a couple of words but Sam hustles her out. She asks, "That was it?" She says she doesn't understand what just happened. Sam says, "Leo said yes. We're in." She insists that she doesn't understand. Sam explains, "Leo said yes. That's the end of the meeting." She protests that she was just talking. Sam says, "Well, we play with live ammo around here. You convince me, I convince Leo, Leo'll convince the President." She seems genuinely distressed. He adds, "It's a short day, Ainsley, and a big country. We've got to move fast." She says that Sam has to tell her when this is going to happen. How naïve are you, girlie? She asks if this is how they decide to go to war. Sam says he doesn't know: "I'm usually not in the room when they do that." She keeps whining. He's losing patience and leaves his office, yelling, "Could somebody get her a cupcake or something?" That must be the one grain-based carbohydrate snack she hasn't scarfed today. ["Scone? Turnover? I feel her." -- Wing Chun] She stands in his doorway, as the camera slowly whirls around three hundred and sixty degrees to show all the people busily working around her, and comes back to rest on her. She almost smiles, and then struts off, feeling her oats, I guess. ["Oats! Hee!" -- Wing Chun]
Back in the Oval Office, Charlie announces Toby's arrival, and Jed thanks him and dismisses him for the night. Jed seems aware that Marino would abstain. He tells Toby that Marino was a great public servant, and a great senator. Toby asks, "Didn't Edmund Burke say that a representative owes not just his industry, but his judgment, and betrays you if he sacrifices his judgment to yours?" Jed says, "Yeah, and then he was voted out of office five years later by the people of Bristol." Toby says that's not the point. Jed says he knows, but the fact is that there are opponents of the treaty on both sides of the aisle: "You gotta respect'em, Toby. They're politicians, and they're flying in the face of overwhelming public opinion." Toby asks mildly, "I have to respect senators for defying 82% of the American people?" Jed replies, "Can I tell you something honestly? This is one of those situations I could give a damn what the people think. The complexities of a global arms treaty, the technological, military, diplomatic nuances...it's staggering, Toby. Eighty-two percent of the people can't possibly be expected to reach an informed opinion. You want to call a session anyway?" Toby says, "No...if we lose, and we will, we'll be cut off..." They both look slightly defeated. Jed adds, "You know what we forget sometimes? In all the talk about democracy, we forget it's not a democracy, it's a republic. People don't make the decisions, they choose the people who make the decisions. Could they do a better job choosing? Yeah. But when you consider the alternatives..." Well, that was an in-depth examination of other political models and possibilities. He says that Abby's in New Hampshire, and invites Toby to come up and have a cigar. Toby looks like a sad little kid who lost a baseball game. Jed says, "The day is over, Toby. We'll live to fight another one. Come on up, I'll beat your ass at chess." Toby asks, "Are you baiting me, Mr. President?" and kind of scuffs the carpet with his foot. He sure is adorable for a guy who smokes cigars. Why do my two favourite characters smoke cigars? Revolting. Jed cheerfully says, "Yes!" Toby reluctantly agrees and they motor off. Some guy comes in and turns off the lights in Jed's office as the Music of Victory Forestalled (tm ragdoll) plays.

Recent Hollywood Reviews
Loved this house
Clean, quiet, close to the metro and Hollywood sites. Rob is very responsive to questions and easy to work with. The house is well supplied and very comfortable. The location is central. On site parking is very convenient. The street is very nice and residential and quiet, but keep in mind that there are homeless people around, a few seem to stay in the nearby park. The park is fenced in and I was never noticed walking by, which I only did during daytime. I would recommend this house if staying in Hollywood.
Comfortable, Great Hosts
While small, this property is comfortable and was immaculate when we arrived. Personally, I would have preferred if there were a small, indoor table at which one could eat, which alas there is not, but there is plenty of outdoor furniture, and the hosts are very generous with their space. We had a great time using the pool which is full of cute flotation devices for kids, and enjoying the sun and garden. The hosts are some of the most involved and hospitable that I've encountered through homeaway (and I've never had any trouble, so this is excellent as compared to good, not good as opposed to indifferent or bad). Due to an error on my part, we had some confusion with our schedule which inconvenienced our hosts, but they were very generous about helping us to fix the problem. Good people, and a good place to stay.
Amazing Experience at Guesthouse Oasis!
Our family of 3 stayed at this guesthouse for a week in July 2011, and it was nothing short of amazing. The backyard is simply incredible, with waterfalls, color-changing pool lights, and lit palm trees that create a spectacular scene at night. We used the pool and hot tub nearly every day, roasted s'mores over the fire pit, and grilled several meals poolside at the outdoor kitchen. It's also perfectly located in Hollywood; absolutely everything we needed to do was within an hour (and we went all over LA), and the neighborhood was wonderful for jogging, walking to shops and restaurants, and seeing the sights on Hollywood Blvd. Our family agreed we had our best vacation ever, and it had everything to do with coming home to this oasis at the end of each day. I'd like to note also that the owner was especially accommodating, he made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We can't wait to stay here again, only next time it will be for longer than a week!

Yesterday saw five-time World Player of the Year Marta and her Brazilian teammates kick off their debut with a 1-0 win against a well organized Australian team, who matched them throughout the game. The match saw 27,258 fans pack into Germany's Borussia Park, Moenchengladbach. PUMA was well represented with 9 players on show for Brazil in Marta, Andreia, Rosana, Formiga, Ester, Maurine, Erika, Christiana and Fabiana.
Brazil started with all intention to attack, playing only 3 at the back with Marta leading the 3 attackers up front. However, this plan was not as successful as the Brazilians had expected as the Australians matched their play and although both teams saw opportunities, the first half ended 0-0.
The second half kicked off very well for Brazil. In the 54th minute, an Australian defensive mix up was capitalized on as Christiana headed a ball through to Rosana who took one touch to pass a defender and unleashed a shot past the Australian keeper. The goal slowed the game and Australia failed to find the rhythm that had created so many opportunities for them in the second half. At the end of the game, Rosana stressed the importance of teamwork in their win: "I'd like to dedicate it to my teammates because it was just as important to get a goal today as not let one in."
Brazil will play again on July 3rd against Norway. Who do you think will come out ahead for this match?

beclomethasone inhalation (cont.)
What happens if I miss a dose (Qvar)?
Use the medication as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and wait until your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose (Qvar)?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine.
An overdose of beclomethasone inhalation is not expected to produce life-threatening symptoms.
What should I avoid while using beclomethasone inhalation (Qvar)?
Beclomethasone inhalation can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to get sick from being around others who are ill. Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Contact your doctor if you have been exposed to someone with measles or chicken pox.
What other drugs will affect beclomethasone inhalation (Qvar)?
If you are also using a bronchodilator (a drug that opens the airways to improve breathing), use it first before using the beclomethasone inhaler. This will allow more beclomethasone to reach your lungs. Bronchodilators include albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin), pirbuterol (Maxair), bitolterol (Tornalate), and others.
There may be other drugs that can interact with beclomethasone inhalation. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about beclomethasone inhalation.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

A 38-year-old woman accused of dragging a Chicago Police officer from a vehicle while speeding away from a traffic stop Monday night has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, police said.
SEE: Chicago cop dragged by vest in traffic stop gone wrong
Catherine Brown, of the 8300 Block of South Kerfoot Avenue, was scheduled to make an initial appearance in court Wednesday morning, police said in a statement.
In addition to attempted first-degree murder, Brown was also charged with aggravated battery and several traffic infractions, including driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failing to dim her headlights.
The incident started about 9:10 p.m. in the 8300 block of South Kerfoot, when a Gresham District police pulled over a vehicle for traffic violation, police said on Monday.
When the officer approached the vehicle, Brown hit the officer in the face, grabbed her by the bulletproof vest and then sped off, striking the officer with the vehicle in the process, police said.
The officer, who has been on the force for at least five years, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said shortly after the incident.
"It could have been a lot worse," said Gaines, speaking from Northwestern Hospital on Monday night. About a dozen police cars had escorted the officer's ambulance to the hospital.

Police say a man was stabbed at a popular skate park during an argument Friday night.
At about 10:30 p.m. officers responded to Burnside Skatepark, located under the Burnside Bridge on Southeast Second Avenue.
Upon arrival they found a man in the street, suffering from a stab wound to the leg that did not appear to be life-threatening. The victim was transported to a Portland hospital for treatment.
Police say the suspect was tracked down and arrested without incident a short distance away, on the Eastbank Esplanade near the Steel Bridge.
The suspect has been identified as Jeremy Moore, age 29. He was charged with one count of assault and lodged in the Multnomah County Jail. His bail was set at $250,000.
Moore is scheduled to appear in court to hear charge Monday.

Sometimes you're 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You're just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you're reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don't feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but "Mom's" probably wouldn't feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else, but just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you'll never be this young again but this is the first time you've ever been this old. When you can't remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee's done. You're going to breathe in and out. You're going to be fine in about five minutes.

Advertising beat: McDonald's is for Old Spice-lovers, please »
[can't see the video? watch it on vegansaurus.com!]
Since our sneakers correspondent is also our crack advertising reporter, and that Megan Rascal is still gallivanting about Europe, we're on the advertising beat today! This 30-second spot hasn't aired on U.S. television yet, but presumably it will, considering how hard commercial media want us to admire/be/get wet for dudes who do Manly Things. The manliest thing a man has ever done, of course, is stuffed some meat down his gullet. Also, the voiceover guy has an "American" accent, and you know 'murrican Manly Men don't respond to "foreign" voices—unless they're selling "foreign" products, like Dos Equis beer, or Grey Poupon mustard.
Obviously McDonald's can't pretend their products are anything but chemically enhanced food-like substances, so now they're making an appeal to the same
people Manly Men who are all about smelling like Old Spice and bringing back chivalry. Cool idea, so original! You all are the smartest ever. Maybe it's all the sodium that reminds you, a Manly Man, of your innate responsibility to open doors for Ladies. Maybe it's the weird dairy products in the processed cheese-food that give you super-strong hands!* Or maybe all that gnarly cholesterol is actually brain food, and BAM you can fix cars you've never even seen before! Honestly, we have no idea; as vegans, we'll never eat that much cholesterol, and most of your Vegansaurus was born XX, so we're doubly stupid about the wondrous effects of McDonald's on Manly (Omnivorous) Men.
Has anyone is Australia seen this commercial yet? Does it make you want to puke as much as we wanted to when we watched it? This play-pretend admiration of the super-fixed gender roles of the last century is unbelievably fucking stupid—it's not even a binary!—and emphasizing its importance is pathetic. We are moving on from "Manly," and we're moving on from McDonald's. If you want to make it in this century, you'd better evolve, you creeps.
*Note to fellow homo sapiens without much hand strength: wrap a rubber band around the lid of the jar. That provides much more traction than those ridiculous rubber opener-things and you can leave it on the jar for future use. It is brilliant and amazing and another small way of maintaining your independence.

BEEF!: nicht für Frauen—unless your Mann gives it to you »
We've discussed this idiocy before, how eating meat should make you a real big man, with manly muscles and a manly penis and all those other attributes that make the ladies and lady-dudes just swoon. Worse, as painful as it is to consider our grandparents having to suffer that bullshit in the '50s, it looks like we're being subjected to it again. To wit: not only is everybody eating meat, raw meat, but according to some Hamburghers,* beef in particular is a Man's Food and should be revered as such, in its own magazine with fancy title-punctuation: BEEF! for Men with Taste. Oh Germany, how clever you are. The Double X blog has a tidy little dissection, as it were,** but which doesn't go far enough—roll your eyes at the disgusting-in-all-senses-of-the-word articles, shake your fist with rage at the "men are chefs, women are cooks" stereotypes, because even when dudes take on kitchen responsibilities it is all fun and games and aren't they creative with their amaaaazing dinners and photos and knife collections! Ladies, leftovers casserole again? Boring, gross, make me a sandwich and/or pie, bitch! GOD, variations on this joke will never get old.
All of which is, yes, obnoxious in the extreme. Even when everyone's wearing an apron, someone's taking His more seriously than Hers—especially when His is covered with aromatic, erotic, freshly butchered lamb's blood,*** and Hers is caked with rapidly cementing flour-and-dishwater paste. The Editor in Chief of BEEF! says so himself (sample quote: "Women cook because they have to. For the kids who come home hungry at lunch, or in the evening for their partner. Men cook because they want to. Because it's their hobby, their passion.") It's hard in there for a grrrrl.
It's also hard out there for a dude who doesn't want to eat meat. He's not a man's man, you see; how can he be, if he's not willing to hunt and kill a meal for you, or at least craft supper out of the murdered remains of a less powerful animal? First you eat your meat to grow up big and strong, and once you are big and strong, you eat meat to prove you're still at the "top" of the "food chain" (do we think about any other "chains" in terms of "tops" and "bottoms," by the way?). That's logic—manly logic! BEEF! logic!! The kind that comes to you after your brain has melted from BSE. Possibly the same that assumes anyone believes any of this anymore. Our favorite ways to insult a vegetable-eater's looks—"anemic," "anorexic," "pale"—are all synonymous with weakness, frailty, the physical opposite of the macho man with his heroic penis and big creative brain. I mean, what do we eat, salads? Not even real food! Certainly not food worth using "Knives to Die For" on!
BUT: What's the point? BEEF! isn't really a magazine, in the sense that issues are published with any regularity (the first is dated October 2009; the second is due in May 2010) or that it's supposed to do anything besides idolize a lifestyle that only ever existed between the pages of Playboy. Maybe with the rise of power German ladies, unemployed German dudes needed to carve out some space for themselves—the world being divided into G.R.O.S.S. members and everyone else—or maybe I shouldn't have written this response at all, because manufacturing trends is stupid, this magazine's premise is silly, and meat is fucking disgusting. Given the choice, I'd much rather kiss a man who doesn't eat meat—ethics are hot, they imply you have a brain.
[For further reading on meat and gender roles, do please visit the Sociological Images blog.]
**ON FIRE with the wit today. I'm so sorry.
***BARF OK kill me now.

The number of smartphone users in Korea neared 1 million at the end of last year, with Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Omnia 2 gaining popularity. However, smartphone users are having trouble whenever they try to use mobile banking services or shopping sites, since the browsers designed for smartphones are not equipped to handle ActiveX.
With the installment of ActiveX emerging as a problem domestically, experts are proposing alternatives. A team headed by researcher Kim Hyung-sik at Cambridge University recently released a study saying Korea's Internet banking industry should allow users to choose whether to install the programs.
Local officials are looking into the issue as well.
"The discussion over whether using ActiveX is proper is underway at the Financial Supervisory Service as we look to resolve the problem of restricting electronic transactions on smartphones," Choi Si-joong, chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, said on Feb. 22 in the National Assembly.
Headline taken from a Joongang Sunday interview two days ago, which readers of Korean want to give a look.
The article also has a chart breaking down the market share of browsers overseas and in Korea. Worldwide 62% of people use a version of Internet Explorer, according to those stats from Market Share, whereas 98% in Korea use IE, with 50% of the total using IE6. I mentioned web browsers a little in this November 2009 post looking at some complaints people had with a website created, ironically, to help foreigners, and I wrote that Google Analytics told me a little less than 65% of my visitors over the past month arrived using something other than IE, a high number considering many people visit my site when they're at work in Korea, locked into using Internet Explorer when they otherwise might choose not to. I looked at my stats just now, and saw the numbers changed only slightly, with 42.5% of visitors using Firefox compared to 44.92 in November, and 33.93% using IE now compared with 35.59% then:
Of the users with Internet Explorer, 21.3% use IE6. Interesting to learn that 1.71% of my visits from February 13th through March 15th were on mobile devices. Thanks for the love, but even I don't love this site enough to try and read all that text on a phone or PSP.

World Food Day 2009
October 16 is World Food Day, a day to draw the world's attention to the stark reality that more than one billion women, men and children, one-sixth of our global population, are undernourished. According to FAO, 2009 has been particularly disastrous, pushing an estimated additional 105 million into hunger's stranglehold.
World Food Day also serves to shine a spotlight on the solutions to ending hunger, which can and should be scaled up. Hunger is not inevitable. People can and do end their own hunger, especially when their communities are mobilized, effective partnerships are forged with local governments and women are empowered.
The Hunger Project's (THP's) grassroots partners in Africa have proven that this is true. They have ensured their own food security, even though sub-Saharan Africa has been hard hit the past year by escalating food prices, overwhelming inflation and challenging climate issues.
For example, a community food bank in THP's Kachindamoto Epicenter in Malawi, which was just built in the past few months, is also already fully stocked with nearly 45,000 kilograms of maize (see photo with THP President and CEO Jill Lester congratulating our partners in Kachindamoto). In fact, as a result of cooperative community efforts, all seven of THP-Malawi's epicenter food banks are fully stocked, and three have exceeded capacity and are overflowing! This is in a country the World Food Programme calls "food-deficient."
In July, world leaders made an unparalleled financial commitment to end world hunger at the G8 summit. They agreed to provide $20 billion over three years for a Food Security Initiative that will support rural development in developing countries. On this World Food Day, THP commends this commitment and calls on all world leaders to support the world's small-scale farmers (the majority of whom are women) so that they have access to the skills, resources and inputs that allow them to produce enough nutritious food to feed their families and communities.
World leaders need to channel their financial resources into programs that support and empower small-scale farmers, such as Ms. Mary Liwonde, a grassroots partner with THP in Malawi. In 2004, before Mary became involved in THP's holistic development approach, she could barely grow enough food for her family's consumption. Within one year, Mary increased her harvest four-fold, thanks to her newfound access to various training programs and a microfinance initiative. And, in 2007, Mary was cited as Malawi's National Best Farmer of the Year by a major international agricultural company.
When the global community invests in people like Mary, we will witness phenomenal results on a wide scale.

The ceiling, which has been damaged by the weather has tiles missing which allow the water from the rain and snow storms to leak into the dining hall itself. Wood explained that the repairs attempted have been inadequate due to the construction of the roof. He said that there are girders which are covered by strips of polyfoam which in turn are covered with tar paper. He stated that the polyfoam was the material causing the difficulty with leakage, as it was not made, to - y : If -V i '-'.

Only one section He said that it was believed initially that only one section of : the roof would need repairs and many tiles were replaced or repainted. However, Wood said, the whole roof will now have to be replaced. He said, "we can't fix the blame. The contractors tried to fix it but because of the polyfoam and the weather conditions, it just happend. It's no ones fault." Wood added that the building board was now making a study of the problem. He said that the roof should be fixed before long. He also said that the engineers removed a section of the polyfoam two or three feet long to analyze. Wood stated that in his opinion, the structure had just been a job of poor engineering. He said that to build a structure in this region leakage with a flat roof was poor planning. . . . ;.. - Families move Wood stated that plans to tear the married student housing will be carried out this summer. He said that a couple of the families have already moved out. He added that the rest would have to be out by June 30. He said that the biggest problem these students were facing was finding adequate housing within their budgets. However, Wood said that the housing office was trying to help these students by making listings available. The married student housing was available for rent for $35 to $60 a month. When asked if it were true that the housing office had removed extra matresses from the rooms of girls who had single rooms, to accomodate the high school students involved with the Future Business Leaders of America, Woods said that it had been a necessity. He said that the college had 200-300 guests and these students were in need of the bedding. Wood added that with the exception of one or two girls, the dorm students were willing to cooperate with the housing office. As to the possibility of one or two of the dorms going coeducational, Wood said that the student leaders in the dorms were polled as to the feelings of the students living there. He said that any student living in the dorm was welcome to express their opinion to him on the proposed change.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The so-called "dark side" does of course get sunlight as the moon orbits the earth - but we call it that because of our fixed perspective. Looks to me like you found out where all those missing pentagon trillions went, and why there is no official moon landing program. There are valuable resources on the moon, and rich and powerful people seem to think they have exclusive right to it.

AMD Secures Lender of Last Resort: What's Next?
Nihar is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Liquidity issues don't just happen to companies that have been losing money. Sometimes companies without a lot of cash with large amounts of debt can have liquidity issues during periods of low liquidity. Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) did not get a cash infusion, but secured a hostage, or a lender of last resort depending on the level of intensity you like to inject into your life. One of AMD's institutional investors would have no choice but to basically bailout the company, if necessary, in order to lose their entire investment. That sounds like a hostage. Keep in mind there is always a choice.
The Hostage Crisis
Mubadala Investments increased its stake in AMD, this has led the market to conclude that it would come to the aid of AMD should liquidity issues arise. Even if that were true, I have not seen much in the way of plans going forward for AMD. I know that AMD has increased its server offerings with the SeaMicro acquisition, but what is it planning on doing with its consumer processors?
Even regarding SeaMicro I have not seen too much in the way of an ambitious plan or deals being closed. If AMD was going to be bailed out by an investor of last resort the subsequent shakeup might be too late. It could also be that financing is extended only to facilitate sale of the company or its assets. AMD needs to outline a bold plan for its future, or it needs to show that current initiatives are turning around or finally bringing in value.
SeaMicro to the Rescue, Maybe
AMD already had servers in its portfolio. SeaMicro might be the better technology, but apparently AMD wants to offer both products lines. I always like to see more focus unless the servers cater to extremely different markets. I know SeaMicro is for big server farms with its density and energy-efficiency. Targeting these mega data centers is a good move, but is there a reason to have two product lines, and will both bring immense value to the company? Considering its current issues I prefer that it focus its cash and effort on the best technology with the greatest potential profits and use the other one to aggressively chop expenses, by mothballing it.
SeaMicro's energy efficient, high-density servers are fantastic from what I have read so far. The servers are designed for the shift to even heavier cloud-based computing. Power and heat concerns are near the top of the list when determining what server to buy. Despite all this potential, I am not sure AMD is ready to really try and capitalize on that acquisition. This is mostly because the SeaMicro products page still discusses all the Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) products that are crammed into the server. It takes time to change the design to accept AMD processor. While I understand the technical considerations it does not change my perception that AMD does not seem ready to leverage their acquisition of SeaMicro.
Core Business Developing Weakness
Regarding regular processors there are a few issues. First, the PC market is lagging and growth is not likely to return quickly or in the magnitude that is necessary. Second, AMD continues to get trounced by Intel when it comes to these processors. AMD has always focused on the mid to low price range for consumers. The consumers who would have gone with AMD processors 10 years ago are now just getting tablets. The mid to low-end market is disappearing, and this directly impacts AMD. Perhaps it is time to call it quits. In the time it takes AMD to claim victory, assuming it can, the processor market is a shadow of its former self.
Even market leader Intel is feeling the pain so there is not much hope for the perennial laggard. Intel is not in a position of disappearing, but it needs to explore new revenue opportunities. It needs to get into the mobile market, even though Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Qualcomm are so entrenched.
Even jumping into the mobile computing sector is a problem for AMD. When you are behind and strapped for cash you do not want to jump into a sector with well-entrenched rivals like Nvidia with its Tegra processors and Qualcomm. Intel is probably eyeing the mobile space as well, so AMD would have a herculean task.
AMD should focus on its GPU business, which is actually a quality product. I think GeForce products have gotten too much ground on Radeon ones. Games used to say powered by Radeon, but now it's always an Nvidia symbol when I start it up. Sure they are compatible with Radeon GPUs, but they are built around GeForce. However, Radeon graphics cards are fantastic, and if AMD can be good but cheaper it can make some serious headway. I sometimes feel that my GeForce cards are slightly overpriced for their potential, but I have been a GeForce fan even when ATI was its own company and was the leader in GPUs.
I think AMD can get further with its GPUs than with its processors for two reasons. First, Nvidia is not as far ahead of AMD in GPUs, as Intel is for CPUs. Second, the market for GPUs is not as sickly as the market for PCs. Computer users who need a high level of graphics capability will not be doing their work or playing their games on a tablet. With AMD's current troubles the path of least resistance is the path the company needs. Until I get an idea of what it is going to do with its new found breathing space, I am sidelined on this company, and if you can get out without too much damage I would do so until the picture is clear.

PORTLAND -- Police are warning of holiday thieves who may just steal right off of your front porch.
Kelly Shafer was looking forward to a special delivery, a gift for her mother. She had a relative decorate a purple and gold wreath thrown in with some 'W' uniform sock monkeys for a proud Huskies fan.
"My mom is a big university of Washington fan and she also has sort of an obsession with sock monkeys," Shafer said.
Shafer wasn't at her home when the delivery came but a crook was. And Shafer didn't even know the package had been swiped until she saw this note greet her on her front door Tuesday afternoon.
"Then I remembered 'oh my gosh,' it's my mom's wreath and I was just sick," Shafer said.
A Good Samaritan left a note describing the thief who took the gift right off her porch
"I don't know if he was following the ups truck or scanning neighborhood for packages on porches," Shafer said.
"Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who like to play Grinch this time of the year and go out and steal packages off people's porches, nevermind it might be a sweater someone knitted or cookies someone baked and not an iPad or plasma screen TV," Sgt. Pete Simpson with the Portland Police Bureau said.
Simpson said when you're expecting your packages this holiday, use a tracking number and check when it is scheduled to arrive. Request that your package is marked signature required or have items shipped to the delivery company for pick up.
Fortunately, Shafer's relative is making another handmade wreath for her beloved mother.
"It's just the perfect present for her. I had to tell her today, 'surprise, you're getting this delivered and it's going to your house now,' she's thrilled to get it," Shafer said with a smile.
Shafer says she's not going to have anything delivered to her house from now on. She hopes police will find the thief so he won't do it to other people.
A Good Samaritan described the suspect as a middle-aged, white man with reddish and brownish hair. He was seen driving away in a black Lexus.

CANTON, MA — Pro-Link Inc. a JanSan marketing and buying group introduces a new tool to help building service contractors (BSC) provide more accurate bids while ensuring all cleaning needs of a facility are addressed, according to a press release.
The specifications program lists scores of cleaning duties — from mopping floors and vacuuming to dusting — and allows users to determine task frequencies, such as quarterly, annually, daily, weekly and monthly, based on the needs of the client or facility, the release stated.
"The [cleaning] specifications sheet is the foundation for bidding and scheduling [cleaning] jobs," said Rich Parillo, Pro-Link''s BSC specialist.
"A building contractor cannot build a building without the architect''s plans. Similarly, a cleaning contractor really cannot clean a facility properly without the cleaning specifications clearly outlined," Parillo added.

How to Ditch the Sugar Habit
So Long, Sweet Tooth
I consider myself a pretty healthy eater. I chow down on a variety of fruits and veggies, lean protein and whole grains, and I do my best to keep my sweet tooth in check. So I never really worried about how much sugar I was getting -- that is, until I recently heard one doctor say that high doses of sugar were poison and another that he was eliminating the refined sweetener from his diet. Uh-oh. Was the sugar I sprinkled on my oatmeal and stirred into my coffee -- and okay, the occasional cookie or three -- hurting my health?
If I'm eating too much of the sweet stuff, I may have reason to be concerned, doctors say. Sugar is made up of roughly equal parts glucose and fructose. When we consume it, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps our cells use glucose as fuel. However, if we eat more sugar than our bodies can process, insulin instructs our system to store the excess as fat, and we gain weight. The more you weigh, the greater your risk for such health conditions as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Here's where things get a little sticky. Some docs -- particularly Robert Lustig, MD, a professor of pediatrics and endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco -- think that the problem with sugar goes beyond that. Lustig believes that the fructose in sugar is especially dangerous, because we can't digest it properly. That means fructose is metabolized mainly by the liver, which works hard to try to break it down. The strain can result in type 2 diabetes as well as high blood pressure, liver problems and cardiovascular disease, Lustig says.
Plenty of other experts think Lustig is exaggerating the dangers of fructose. "As long as we don't eat it in excess, our bodies don't have trouble breaking down fructose," says David Katz, MD, the director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center. But therein lies the real concern, he adds: Sugar itself is not bad, but all of us are eating way more than we should be these days. "That is what leads to obesity, type 2 diabetes and other health problems," Dr. Katz explains.

Super Mario Bros. Game Made from a Shoe Box
This was made using a handy little thingamajig called Teagueduino which is "an open source electronic board and interface that allows you to realize creative ideas without soldering or knowing how to code, while teaching you the ropes of programming and embedded development (like arduino). Teagueduino is designed to help you discover your inner techno-geek and embrace the awesomeness of making things in realtime — even if you've only ever programmed your VCR."
It's basically like a more advanced, real life version of LittleBig Planet's level creator.

I completed my studies in broadcast communications at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, and went on from there to earn an internship with Dick Purtan and Purtan's People at WKQI in Southfield. That led to many new and exciting opportunities for me, including working here at WJBK FOX 2. I worked as a traffic reporter and reporter from 1994 to 1999, while at the same time I was a traffic reporter and weekend news anchor at WWJ Newsradio 950.
I left FOX 2 in 1999 and subsequently took a job anchoring for an affiliate of National Public Radio. I became the afternoon host of "All Things Considered." It was an incredible opportunity for me to hone my skills as an anchor, and to meet and interview some extremely dynamic individuals. One of my most memorable experiences while working there was anchoring the 2000 Presidential Election, live. What an extraordinary event!
I came back to FOX 2 in 2002 as the morning airborne traffic reporter. I soon moved back inside the studio and, to tell you the truth, although the chopper can be an exciting place to be, I actually prefer having my feet firmly planted on the ground.
Detroit is such a great place! I live here with my husband (my high school sweetheart) and two children.
I love my job at FOX 2 and am happy to be the one helping you get around this amazing city. Have a great day, and don't forget to buckle up!
