Enjoy Your Flight to Middle Earth
Air New Zealand gets an A+ for ingenuity with its new air safety video. It uses characters and actual actors from the Lord of the Rings movies - all filmed in New Zealand - to go through the in-flight safety speech normally done live by flight attendants. Elijah Wood - Frodo Baggins from all three films - appears in the video and sums it up. Just before Peter Jackson, the director of the films, wraps it up. Check it out... It's even better if you're an LOTR fan - or a Hobbit.

What Happens in Atlantic City Should Have Stayed in Atlantic City
Tom Bergeron hosted the Miss America Pageant once. Just once. He revealed in a recent interview with HuffPostLive that he wasn't asked back because of an "incident." The "incident" - which wasn't his fault, he says - involved getting a shoulder massage from one of the contestants. He told her that was a good massage - and she promised a "body massage" if she won. No big deal - until he told the story on a talk show afterwards. And just like that, his phone wasn't ringing. Turns out that HuffPostLive wasn't the first to get the story. Tom told it over a year ago for the Archive of American Television.

Curses, Hydra, Foiled Again!
A trailer for the 2015 film, Avengers: Age of Ultron "leaked" a little early this week. It was supposed to hit at the beginning of next week - Tuesday, to be precise, during an episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but instead, somehow found its way to the Internet about six days early. Oops... The folks at Marvel Entertainment took it all in stride, and blamed it all on Hydra. Hydra's the terrorist organization for which many of the bad guys in the Marvelverse work - so why not? Dammit, Hydra. — Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) October 22, 2014

Zach, Brad & 2 Ferns
Zach Galifianakis could be the most underrated fake talk-show host since Jiminy Glick. He's had some pretty interesting guests on his show, Between Two Ferns, not the least of whom was Barack Obama. His most recent guest – who looks more like a hostage in this one – is Brad Pitt, there ostensibly to promote his new movie, Fury. Or Furry, if you're Zach. Check it out. Pretty funny stuff. Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Brad Pitt from Zach Galifianakis

Bye Bye Honey
It's hard to believe that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has made stars out of Mama June and her clan. It's even harder to believe the things that Mama June does. Now, TMZ is reporting that TLC has cancelled the show because Mama June is dating a registered sex offender. The guy was put away ten years ago for child molestation. And here's the worst part - Mama June was dating the guy when it happened, and she knew his victim too.

Put Some Pittsburgh in Your Mouth - in a Few Days
Primanti Brothers is a legendary sandwich shop in Pittsburgh. The business started as a vending cart in the 1930s. The founder stuffed all his best ingredients into one sandwich so blue-collar workers could carry everything in one hand. That was then. Now, Primanti Brothers has announced they'll be delivering their sandwiches nationwide. Thanks to a partnership with a new gourmet delivery startup, people can go on-line and order a Primanti's party pack. You get a loaf of fresh Italian bread, your choice of pastrami or capicola, provolone, hand-cut French fries, coleslaw, hot sauce, two tomatoes and a Primanti's T-shirt. The T-shirt is not edible. At least, I don't think it is. Price tag: $109. No word on the delivery time, but if you order it this morning, you will not have it for lunch today. Unless you live in Pittsburgh, and then you're more likely to do pick-up.

Whose Fault Is It Anyway?
Monica Lewinsky, one-half of the scandal that almost brought down the Clinton administration, spoke over the weekend at the Forbes Magazine 30 Under 30 Summit. As an introduction, she recapped the story of her affair with Bill Clinton. She was fresh out of college and "more than averagely romantic," as she tells it. "I fell in love with my boss – in a 22-year-old sort of way." When the story broke, "within 24 hours, I became a public figure." All thanks to the Internet and the Drudge Report. "I was patient zero," she said, "the first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet." The entire speech can be found below. It's about 25 minutes long - but interesting in a historical sort of way...

Lady Batman?
At first, it reads like one of those hoax articles. But then when you realize that the person they're writing about is Lady Gaga, it makes you go, "Hmmm..." The folks at ComicBook.com are reporting that Gaga boughtbought a Malibu mansion recently. One accessory unit that came with the $23 million price tag was what The New York Daily News is calling a "Batcave." Said Batcave can only be accessed by an underground tunnel, and it features a bowling alley, arcade games, a home theater and an 800-bottle wine cellar. If Gaga gets tired of it, she can always lease it out as a frat house.

Chestnuts Roasting Barista-Style
It's the most wonderful time for a new coffee. At least, that's what Starbucks would have you believe. Get ready for Chestnut Praline Latte. The perfect beverage to wash down those holiday meals, don't you think? It's Starbucks first holiday drink in five years, and industry experts think it's the chain's answer to the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Dunkin' Donuts. Starbucks told the folks at Fox News that their drink is "inspired by the time-honored holiday tradition of warm roasted chestnuts… with freshly steamed milk and flavors of caramelized chestnuts and spices." You can add whipped cream and praline sprinkles, if you wish. If you're salivating, grab a napkin or a bib. The drink won't be available nationwide until November 21.

About Face for Renee
Renee Zellweger caused a stir over the weekend when she showed up at a Hollywood function looking different. Yup. She doesn't look the way she used to look, so that got some tongues wagging. Yesterday, Renee told PEOPLE magazine she's glad that people think she looks different. "I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows," she told the magazine. She thinks the whole thing is silly, and good for her. "Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older?" And for the record, she's starting to look a little bit like Glenn Close – which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Annoying Then, Annoying Now
Yes, I know, it's hard to believe, but Kim Kardashian was just about as annoying 20 years ago as she is now. Thanks to Entertainment Tonight, we all get to witness just how annoying, on the video they unearthed from ther eighth-grade graduation. "My name's Kim Kardashian, I'm the dopest on the ropest person in this class," she says on the video. "I'm dope on the rope, and you should learn my vocabulary." One of her classmates says, "Define 'dope,' Kim." And she responds, "Kim is dope." This is one of those times when jokes simply write themselves...

Bizarrely Funny
Shia Labeouf has had more than his share of troubles in the past several months. And now, Rob Cantor - a singer and songwriter - has penned a tune in tribute to Shia. Well, not really a tribute. More an extremely weird and bizarrely funny performance piece - featuring Rob, a couple of choruses, a troupe of dancers and what may be a partial philharmonic orchestra. Check it out - it's perfect for Halloween. And make sure you stay until the very end for an unexpected surprise.

Excuse Me, Sister, Like a What?
Sister Cristina, the Italian nun who won her nation's version of American Idol, has released a new single. It's a cover - well, sort of - of Madonna's 1984 hit song, "Like a Virgin." Yes, folks, a nun, singing "Like a Virgin." Sister Cristina said in an interview with an Italian newspaper that her idea to cover the song is not meant to be "provocative or scandalous." She says if you simply read the song's lyrics - and pay no attention to Madonna's interpretation - it's really a song about "love's ability to renew a person and rescue them from the past." I guess covering "Like a Prayer" would have been expected, huh?

The "Horror" of Modern Celebrity Culture
It's been 21 years since since legendary singer and songwriter Billy Joel has had a hit. And according to an interview in The New Yorker, that's been on purpose. He says he really dislikes the "horror of celebrity," and he's really uncomfortable with the demands it places on folks like him. In fact, he said that all the scrutiny and second-guessing made him feel like "there was a proctoscope up my butt." Um, ouch! Seems like that would make it very difficult to sit down at a piano too.

The Super Scientific Way
Leave it to Ellen Degeneres to get into the sports prediction business. On her show yesterday, she brought in two representatives of the two teams involved in the World Series, the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals. Okay, truthfully, it was two guys in baseball pants and hats from the two teams - the wardrobe budget appears to have run out when it came to buying the guys jerseys. But no one in the audience seemed to mind. In fact, the super scientific predictor was to send the two guys into the audience - the predicted winner would be the dancer who collected the most money in his shorts. Yes. No need to read it again - it's what happened. So hang onto this to see how good Ellen's process is...

Do It or Get Off the Pot!
In a new interview with GQ magazine, film star Matthew McConaughey shared the romantic story of how he decided to marry his now-wife, Camila Alves. According to him, it took her grabbing the bull by the horns, and saying, "C'mon, Big Boy, Mr. Easygoing-We'll- Get-to-It-When-We-Get-to-It. Either s**t or get off the pot." While Matthew didn't mention it in the interview, his wife will undoubtedly be releasing her new line of matrimonial greeting cards any time now - as soon as she gets off the pot.

Being Married to Dennis Rodman "The Worst"?
In a recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey's Where Are They Now?, actress Carmen Electra opened up about her short marriage with the NBA's Dennis Rodman. Yes, the same guy who thinks he can solve the world's problems by playing basketball in North Korea was once married to Carmen. And as described by Carmen, it was "the worst." In her and his defense, she also said when it was good, it was "amazing." She says she remembers thinking, immediately after the wedding, "Oh God, what did we do? What did we just do?" Not a good start, no matter how you look at it...

Believe It? Or Not?
In Back to the Future II, Marty McFly made a quick escape on a Hoverboard - a floating skateboard that existed in the future. Remember the scene? Well now, thanks to a company called ..., you can have a hoverboard all your own - for the miniscule setback price of $10,000. It's part of a Kickstarter project, trying to raise $250,000. If you'd like a working prototype, it's yours for $10K. A couple of things you need to know. The device can float only three centimeters off the ground, it cannot be steered, and it will only float over very special non-ferrous surfaces, like copper and aluminum. But it none of that bothers you and you have the cash burning a hole in your pocket, go for it!

You're Goin' Down!
Chelsea Handler is well-known for just letting fly whatever comes to mind. Some folks would suggest that her thoughts are often formed in her oral cavity instead of her cranium. The other night on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, she was working toward something when she asked Conan and his co-host, Andy Richter, whether they liked the ocean. Andy said he did - and Chelsea fumbled her way into an ill-defined and -conceived fat joke. Andy handled it perfectly, and his response put Chelsea in her place. Check it out.

Your Name is Neil Diamond...
Neil Diamond's kicking off a new concernt tour, and he's started on the talk show circuit. He popped into The Tonight Show to chat with Jimmy Fallon about his legendary career - he's a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, you know. But the conversation turned to his name. "Neil Diamond" is his real name, but early on in the business, he thought about changing it. Listen to the conversation for the full story. Then play it again, but mute the video, and tell me if this guy isn't looking a little bit like Sean Connery these days.

Slogans Can Hurt
Ellen Degeneres is all over the Red Bull class action lawsuit. You'll recall that the makers of the energy drink settled their case recently, offering a $13 million payout to consumers who may have been duped into believing that Red Bull gives you wings. On yesterday's Ellen, viewers got to meet a man who believes most slogans, and is suing everyone from Nike to Exxon to Ellen herself. Check it out.

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?
There's a company that sells giant stuffed plush versions of various microbial organisms - among them, the Ebola virus, which they call "the T. Rex of microbes." And guess what? With so much talk about Ebola these days - and by "talk," I mean "panic" - the entire stock of Ebola toys has sold out. That includes the small Ebola doll ($9.95), the gigantic Ebola doll ($29.95) and the Ebola Petri Dish ($14.95). Yup, that's exactly what we want our kids playing with these days, isn't it? The video below was made about three years ago - but check it out anyway.

Kooking with Kardashian?
Kris Jenner - aka Mama Kardashian - showed up on The Today Show yesterday, hawking her new kookbook. Because when you think of kuisine, your mind instantly goes to "Kardashian," am I right? In her defense, she says she's been feeding her khildren since she had Kourtney when Kris was just 22. "They give you a baby, you've gotta feed it." If that doesn't get her some sort of Mom of the Year award - well, it will just be a travesty. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Man on a Leash?
Jada Pinkett Smith showed up to audition for the role of Fish Mooney on Fox's Gotham with a man on a leash. Her character is a shady club owner in Gotham who has relationships with a lot of underworld characters – and maybe a less than honorable relationship with some of Gotham's finest as well. Last weekend, she told folks at the PaleyFest that she wanted to show the producers that she understood her character. So instead of talking about Fish Mooney, she decided to show them. She showed up in a short wig and a long flowing gown with a shirtless man on a leash. She says she went "method." The dude on the leash went "canine," I guess. She also has a strong presence on Twitter, keeping in touch with her fans by tweeting. Happy #FishMooney Monday Gotham is off the hook 2night. One of my favorite episodes. I'll tweeting 2night at 8 pm EDT pic.twitter.com/JBw4EPeHBp — Jada Pinkett Smith (@jadapsmith) October 13, 2014

Breaking Bad Action
A mom in Florida has started a petition to get the Toys 'R' Us chain to take Breaking Bad action figures off their shelves. The mom doesn't like the message that the figures send, saying that kids mimic what their action figures do. The Walter White doll, for instance, comes complete with bags of cash and methamphetamine. The mom admits that she liked the series – even found it riveting – but she wants the figures out of Toys 'R' Us Bryan Cranston, who played Walter in the series, had an interesting take on the whole thing, with a fun tweet yesterday. "Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures." I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest — Bryan Cranston (@BryanCranston) October 20, 2014

Antique Lavender Sapphire Emerald & Diamond Ring
When one hears the word sapphire in relation to precious gems, one immediately has a vision of a blue stone. Although that association is quite valid, blue is not the only color. In fact, the stone in its natural state (not heat treated) comes in an array of hues and is referred to as fancy sapphires – yellow, green, pink, orange, brown and lavender.
This Victorian era finger ring of 10k rose gold features a marvelous natural lavender sapphire of an estimated .60 carats. A sparking mouthwatering color, the oval faceted stone is flanked by two (2) round faceted emeralds of an approximate .20 carats total weight all in a horizontal profile. Like small floodlights scattered symmetrically across the expanse of a theatre stage of rose gold are eight transitional and single cut diamonds with a total diamond weight of .40 carats. The perimeter of the ring is accented with modified pinched scalloped edges.
Date: Circa 1880.
Measurements: 3/8 of an inch (1.0 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 3/16 of an inch (0.4 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 2.0 grams (1.3 dwt).
Ring Size: US 6-1/4 (UK M; Euro or Int. Circum. 52.5 mm; Int. Dia. 16.7 mm; Japan 12) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Very good; seven (7) diamonds replaced with brilliant cut diamonds.
Note: Stones were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. All weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

Robust folk traditions, contemporary art and past political upheaval and sombre eras are all the subjects of the unusual, fascinating museums you'll find as you travel through the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
There are about 250 museums in Estonia for you to enjoy. Kumu Art Museum displays an overview of Estonian art from the classic period to the present and has a great collection of Estonian Modernists and Socialistic realism. The Estonian History Museum collects and displays all kinds of interesting exhibits from ancient Arabic gold coins to medieval weaponry. The museum itself is situated in the medieval Great Guild Hall in Tallinn Old Town. The Estonian Maritime Museum tells of the rich history of the Baltic Sea and has ships on display. You can also look inside the only surviving pre-World War II diesel submarine. Tartu Toy Museum is located in an old wooden building in the heart of Tartu's Old Town and displays toys that children in Estonia have played with throughout the ages. The museum has play and workshop rooms and children are also offered the opportunity to partake in a filmmaking programme.
Latvia has an impressive number of museums exhibiting a fascinating range of relics. See how Latvians lived when Vikings were abroad elsewhere at the 9th century Āraiši Lake Castle, a reconstructed Latgalian settlement. For outdoorsy types there's the Natural History Museum of Latvia and for indoorsy types the The Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. For those interested in medicine, a visit to the Museums of the History of Medicine, Pharmacy and Anatomy are worthwhile. See pre-historic methods of treatment, including witches and shamans and the use of amulets, the medieval methods for treating leprosy to contemporary discoveries in medicine and space medicine.
Riga Art Nouveau Museum is located in one of the most magnificent streets of Riga and you can see The dreamy museum of the famous master of fantasy, Hieronymus Friedrich Karl von Munchausen (yes, that Baron) is within a canon-ball flight of Riga in Dunte.
Lithuania's Soviet heritage is distinctly reflected both in the architectural and in collections. An impressive collection of sculptures from Soviet times is displayed at Grūtas Park; military might is illustrated by the former Soviet missiles underground base in Plokštinė at Žemaitija National Park. The Museum of Genocide Victims in Vilnius (The KGB museum) introduces the most terrible period of the Soviet era. The Vilna Gaon Jewish State Museum in Vilnius reflects the multi-century Jewish history in Lithuania, as well as genocide of the Jews during World War II.
The Carpathian Mountains form the largest mountain range in Europe.
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.

The Santa Cruz Mountains surf team won a third victory in four contests in the Santa Cruz Scholastic Surf League season, claiming a 63.5-51.5 win against Aptos High on Sunday, Feb. 24, at Pleasure Point in Santa Cruz.
Eight surfers from the Santa Cruz Mountains team made it to the semifinal or final level in individual competition: Sophie Northcott, Rose Schroeder and Devon Northcott of San Lorenzo Valley High School; Evan Milnes of Scotts Valley High; and St. Francis freshmen Shelby Robinette, Paul Colosi and Luke Colosi.

Gators to hold charity strongman competition this Friday in The Swamp
- 11:13 am Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 by Post Staff
The Gators won't play their first game for another 38 days, but the football team will have Ben Hill Griffin Stadium rocking this Friday night.
The Gators are set to hold their second annual Gator Charity Challenge, a competition that will pit the players against each other in several strength and conditioning exercises – oversized tire flips, tug-o-war, obstacle courses, etc. – while also raising awareness for six local charities. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. inside the stadium.
"All year we get a lot of support from the community," senior safety Dorian Munroe said. "It's not often we get to support other organizations and charities, so we really take it seriously. And of course we love to compete against each other."

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare heart defect.
In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve to pick up fresh oxygen. Next, the blood returns to the left atrium, goes into the left ventricle, and goes out to the rest of the body.
With TAPVC, the pulmonary veins that return oxygenated blood from the lungs connect to the right side of the heart, instead of the left atrium. This leads to the mixing of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. The body tissue does not receive as much oxygen as it is supposed to. TAPVC can be mild to severe. There can be a range of connection problems. Other heart problems may be present, as well.
TAPVC is a congenital defect. This means that the heart forms incorrectly when the baby is in the womb. It is not known exactly why the heart develops this way in some babies.
More research is needed to confirm causes and risk factors for TAPVC. Risk factors thought to be related to this condition include:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor may also detect an irregular heart rate during the exam.
These symptoms may be due to other conditions. If your child has any of these, talk to the doctor right away.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Surgery is needed to correct the defect. It can range from a simple repair to a complex repair. If blood flow is obstructed, the doctor will need to do emergency surgery. The goal of surgery is to reconnect the pulmonary veins to the left atrium.
Preventing fetal heart defects may not always be possible, but you can reduce your risk by:

There are now calls from the Left for gun control legislation in response to Adam Lanza's unconscionable mass killing of innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary. However, very few people seem to be asking the most basic question of all before getting started: What gun control legislation could have stopped Adam Lanza?
The answer is "none."
Let's consider a few alternatives:
1) The school was already a "gun free zone;" so obviously that wasn't effective. Of course, the sort of people who would respect a "gun free zone" in the first place are the very ones you wouldn't have to worry...

If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Cable High-Speed Internet in Derry
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Derry residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in New Mexico grew to 58% by 2010.

A year ago, I also couldn't run more than a mile without doing a very good Darth Vader impersonation and could make three plates of food disappear at an all-you-can-eat East Indian buffet.
Now, after running for a year, I'm 13 pounds lighter, eat healthier and have completed my first 50K (31-mile) trail race.
For those of you, like me, who use long-distance running as a means of exercise and getting out of the house and away from laptops and cellphones, I highly recommend running along the California Aqueduct.
There are actually two waterways in south Tracy. If you follow Tracy Boulevard south, past the free-range chickens at Linne Road, past the airport, you will find the Delta-Mendota Canal.
I don't normally run here, because the road, although wide, is rougher, and the path runs by several commercial plants.
If you continue south on South Tracy Boulevard for about 1.5 miles, you will run into the California Aqueduct, which is almost next to Highway 580 itself.
You can park on either side of the road, but not in front of the gates. The main gates are almost always locked, but there are side gates specifically designed to allow bicycles and pedestrians through.
You can travel "up river" toward Bethany Reservoir 20 miles away or "down river" toward Patterson, also about 20-plus miles away.
You can expect peace and quiet running along hard-packed gravel for as far as the eye can see. During spring, you can also expect to see "snow" as the almond trees flower.
There are always various fowl and fish making ripples in the water. Creative and nimble graffiti artists have decorated several of the overpasses with multicolored murals and tags. And there are normally friendly people fishing for catfish and stripers.
Don't expect bathrooms, nor water fountains, on your run, and plan accordingly. Normal recommendations for fluid and fuel consumption while running are 4 to 6 ounces of fluid every 20 minutes and about 100 calories every hour.
For me, a typical 20-mile Saturday run at a leisurely 10:30-minute mile pace will take three hours and 30 minutes and require roughly 44 ounces of electrolye fluid and 300-plus calories. I normally use a CamelBak Marathoner Hydration pack filled with 44 ounces of Cytomax and bring four 100-calorie Gu gels with me.
For safety reasons, always take your cellphone and let friends and family know where you'll be.
There is a gas station and mini market on Mountain House Parkway going north and on Chrisman Road going south. There are also "green room" porta-potties scattered along the aqueduct, but they may not always be open, and sometimes they are temporary and only available to construction workers.
If I can get away from the city and run trails along the beach or a single track through redwood groves, I do. However, for routine long runs close to home, you can't beat the peace and quiet of our California aqueducts.
It is always better to run in pairs than alone.
Dogs are allowed along the trails near the aqueduct, but they must be on a leash at all times.
Stay away from the edge of the aqueduct when running along it. The currents in the aqueduct are quite swift and pose a significant drowning danger.
Never swim in the aqueduct.
Never attempt to pet a dog unless you get permission from the owner.
Items you will need
• Water
• Food
• Cellphone (with GPS)
• Toilet/tissue paper
• Appropriate seasonal running clothes

Tinea capitis is an infection of the scalp. It is caused by a type of fungus called a dermatophyte. It occurs most often in children. It is very rare in adults.

The fungi thrive in warm, humid environments. Factors that may contribute to tinea capitis include:
Factors that increase your chance for tinea capitis include:
Symptoms of tinea capitis include:
If not properly treated, it may cause permanent hair loss and scarring.
Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your child may need to be referred to a specialist. A dermatologist focuses on skin issues.
The diagnosis is often made with close inspection of the scalp. If the diagnosis is uncertain, the doctor may scrape your child's scalp or clip a few hairs for testing.
Tests on the sample may include:
The main treatment for tinea capitis is prescription antifungal medicines. The condition, though, can be difficult to treat. In some cases, tinea capitis can return after treatment. For some children, the condition goes away during the time of puberty.
Using an antifungal shampoo may help to reduce the risk of spreading the condition to others.
To help reduce your child's chance of getting tinea capitis, take the following steps:

I love my toaster sliders and polarized lens. Currently have what I believe to be the brown or copper polarized lens. I need to replaced them because of years of use. Any suggestions on which polarized lens to go with for everyday use, gray/brown?
Mitch Andrews
Everyday go with brown.
Snow, water and other harsh light conditions go gray
I love my smith toasters and the polarized lenses are great especially for water sports and backpacking across streams. I can see through the glare and avoid the unwanted swim. As usual with Backcountry the price was right too!

"Some residents drive, some do not — my mother hasn't driven for 11 years," she said.
Transportation for senior citizens was at the top of the list of topics during the public meeting about gaps in local and regional transit systems Tuesday, Jan. 29, at the Patterson City Council Chambers. The meeting was hosted by the Stanislaus Council of Governments, a council of city and county governments that was established in 1971 by a joint powers agreement to address regional transportation issues.
Several people addressed StanCOG staff members and representatives of other county transportation agencies during a public comment period.
Miller said she was speaking on behalf of seniors living at El Solyo Village, 850 N. Second St., including her mother, a longtime resident of the complex.
She said the only way for many El Solyo residents to reach the main part of Patterson was by walking along North Second Street, which is part of Highway 33 and has no sidewalk.
"You actually feel the wind from the trucks and cars as they pass," she said. "This is a safety issue."
Mayor Luis Molina pointed out that Stanislaus Regional Transit, the county's regional bus system, offers a Dial-a-Ride program to pick up seniors and take them where they need to go. He said StaRT and other county agencies should do more to inform residents about their options.
"I would recommend seniors not walk that route," he said. "We need to do what we can to communicate safe routes to and from home."
Jean Foletta, program manager for the Consolidated Transportation Services Agency of Stanislaus County, asked about possible outreach to El Solyo residents.
Foletta said volunteers already drive seniors to appointments and on errands through the Area Agency on Aging, which is a Stanislaus County senior information and service agency.
Molina also suggested establishing a regular bus route to Patterson's new Walmart, 1030 Sperry Ave., which was fast becoming a popular destination.
"Is there an opportunity to meet that need and for other places like the Del Puerto Health Care clinic?" the mayor asked.
Eunice Lovi, a transportation manager for StaRT, said her agency had been getting calls for rides to Walmart since it opened Jan. 23 and was looking into solutions. Dial-a-Ride shuttles transported six residents the first day, she said.
"We're looking at making more Dial-a-Rides available, as well as possibly a fixed route," she said.
She was unsure whether routes could change immediately or would have to wait until August, when the agency makes most of its route changes for the year, she said.
Lovi said StaRT was also looking at adding routes to Patterson from other West Side communities, such as Newman, Crows Landing and Grayson.
Mike Costa, a StanCOG associate planner, said all information from the meeting would be conveyed to the agency's executive committee.

Pritch is a combined word of "Princess" and "Bitch". Use it to describe a some bitch that always acts like a princess and you just couldn't stand it.

Still shaky Santorini needs no introduction, being a 1 million year old volcano that remains in active/dormant state until today. Its breathtaking beauty both historically and geologically are awe inspiring making it one of life's true highlights. The island was home to a Minoan settlement that was obliterated by an eruption around 1650BC which sent tsunamis through the eastern Mediterranean. The colossal eruption displaced 30 cubic kilometres of earth jetting a cloud of ash 36 km into the sky creating the foundation of what we see today. Centrally located in the 300 metre deep 5 -mile wide crescent moon shaped caldera harbour are two new cones, Neas Palaias & Kammenis. The shape of the crater ring has constantly changed over the last 3000 years with several parts of the crater wall collapsing into the sea. Remarkably, the island has always been resettled due to the rich volcanic soil's fertile properties. The wines, tomatoes and cucumbers from this island are super tasty due to the soil composition and low rainfall. Visitors can make their way from sea level to the crater rim either by bus, gondola or even a donkey ride. Fira, the main town, sits perched on the edge of the caldera with breathtaking views of multi-coloured cliffs, sugar-cube architecture and great local markets for shopping.

Catawba's church/ministry award goes to '62 Alumna
A 1962 Catawba College alumna, the Rev. June Grubb, was honored by her alma mater as the recipient of the 2013 College Church/Ministry award.
Grubb, who makes her home in Lexington and is active in the First Reformed United Church of Christ there, was recognized in February at a Dinner held on Catawba's campus.
Ashley Acken, a senior double-majoring in psychology and sociology, made the award presentation to Grubb.
Grubb continued her education after graduating from Catawba at Lancaster Theological Seminary, where she earned both her master's of religious dducation degree and master's of divinity degree.
Her seminary degree, Acken said, launched her into a ministry with youth and children that became the hallmark of her career that spanned "four decades and reached the members of seven congregations."
"These ministries would prepare her for service on the association and conference levels of the United Church of Christ, where she once again specialized in ministry with children and youth in the Rocky Mountain Conference and the Southern Conference," Acken said.
Acken said Grubb was instrumental in organizing international work camps for youth of the UCC, and chaired two Western Regional Youth Events.
"When one works with youth," Acken said of Grubb, "there are opportunities to influence the future of the Church in a most powerful way, as one encourages talented and capable youth to enter Christian ministry."
To Grubb's credit, eight individuals with whom she worked as youth are now ordained ministers.
These individuals serve local congregations as pastor or youth ministers and one serves as a lobbyist for nonprofit organizations in the Missouri legislature.
Although Grubb is officially retired, her volunteer work keeps her busy. She is a leader in the Stephen ministry program, is an Associate Chaplain at Thomasville Medical Center, serves on the hospital's Ethics Advisory Committee and volunteers with Meals on Wheels.
The Church College Award was established in 2008 as a way for the College to recognize and express appreciation to persons who have served both the church and the college in exemplary ways.
Paul Fisher Service Awards
Two individuals were honored as recipients of the 2013 Paul Fisher Service Awards during the dinner.
The awards, presented annually to a deserving student and a member of the Catawba faculty or staff, recognize members of the college community who embody the meaning of the word "service," as displayed on the college seal.
These individuals voluntarily and consistently devote time and energy to helping others, thereby making the campus, community and world a more humane place.
The award is named in honor of Paul Fisher, CEO of F&M Bank and past chairman of the Board of Trustees.
The student recipient was John Lincourt, a senior majoring in music performance.
He regularly helps prepare and serve breakfast at Rowan Helping Ministries, has been active in the building of Habitat for Humanity homes, serves as a leader for campus worship services, and for the past two summers has served as a counselor and a member of the praise band at the college's Church Youth Empowerment Weekend.
The faculty/staff recipient was accounting rofessor Amy Hrinsin.
She serves breakfast at Rowan Helping Ministries, has helped with construction of the Volunteer Catawba Habitat House and is active in the PTA activities of her children's school.
Other Individuals Recognized
Jay Laurens, Coordinator of Outreach Programs for the Lilly Center, presented two awards. Dr. Charlie McAllister, a Professor of History at Catawba, received the "fictitious, yet prestigious" Golden Hammer Award, given in honor of his dedicated service during the construction of the Volunteer Catawba Habitat House.
The "Walking in the Water" award was presented to Mrs. Darlene Ball '62, Chair of the Catawba College Board of Trustees. Ball was described as a leader who does not attempt to walk on water, but walks in the water, down in the trenches as true servant leader. She was recognized for regularly joining Catawba students as they served breakfast at Rowan Helping Ministries and for assisting with construction of the Habitat House.
