ATHLETE CURED Lyrics - The Fall
Look under
Look under
From the hotbed of creation
in dreamstate.
The cure, bulletin, zeitung
Was in no pill.
Look under.
The cure was in no pill.
The German athletic star was continually ill.
For months doctors were puzzled.
The star would complain of the smell in his room.
On visiting him this was found to be true.
An odor resembling hot-dogs permeated the whole bedroom.
A solution was only discovered by my closely
watching his brother Gert.
Gert was handsome, well-meaning, but slightly a careless type.
sponsored linksNot malicious, I hope you understand and grasp.
No chance.
But on returning from his clerical job, Gert
would park his Volkswagen at the end of the day
willy-nilly in the driveway, usually the wrong way round,
so that the exhaust fumes would flow upwards right through
the open windows of the athletic star's upstairs bedroom.
I also discovered that Gert would turn his engine
over for up to an hour. I don't know why.
Citizens in my street are also
partial to this.
Look under.
The cure was in no pill.
Obtaining a new parking space for Gert's motor-car, athletic star soon
Unfortunately, this being East Germany,
Gert patriotically volunteered to be sent on a labor
beautification course of the countryside north-west of Dresden.
And never seen again.
And never seen again.
Look under.
The cure was in no pill.
Had to look under the window sill.
The window sill.
Look under.
The cure was in no pill.
Had to look under the window sill.
The window sill.
From certain facts you have to go on and further
and often it is better to go around or look under.
the windowsill

Some Dumb Erratum of the Day: In the rush to come up with pun headlines to describe the phenom that is Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, unfortunately it was probably just a matter of time before someone slipped up and said something racist.
But many likely never thought it would be ESPN.
Covering the Knicks loss to the Hornets and the snapping of the rising star's 7-game winning streak, the venerable sports network titled their article "Chink In The Armor."
The offensive slur-pun was up on ESPN.com for 35 minutes between 2:30 and 3:05 AM.
As Mike Nizza of The Daily points out, the overnight shift lacks the sort of oversight that might have halted such an insensitive headline well prior to publishing, but that's hardly an excuse.
ESPN has since released a statement apologizing for their choice of words, and vowing to conduct a "complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures."

Women who are victims of rape must now have a pre-bought insurance rider in order to access abortion care
Given that Republican congressmen are being trained to talk to women voters as though we are their wives and daughters, what can women voters learn about how to talk to Republican congressmen?
Stop and consider: Maybe the reason the GOP has been so inexpressibly deaf to the wants and needs of women constituents over the past few decades is because we have been attempting to address them as co-workers and colleagues and doctors and bosses and neighbors and friends. When all along, we should have been talking to them in the manner of wives and daughters.
GOP Candidate: We Need To Talk To Women On An 'Emotional Level'
TV's strongest female characters share one stupid flaw. Supposedly empowered women are making terrible decisions because of men.
The WIC program, which provides low-income pregnant women, new mothers and children up to the age of five with healthy food, is not funded as of Tuesday morning. "No additional federal funds would be available," says the Department of Agriculture, though it suggests that some states – some, not all – may have a state-run fund that can fill in the gaps for women who need help purchasing things like formula. They estimate the state funds would last about a week.

SOUND OFF: 53 And Pregnant! How Old Is Too Old?
Whether it's a demanding career or the struggle to find Mr. Right, more women are postponing motherhood. Advancements in medicine have made it easier than ever to have children at 40 — even 50. But pregnancy later in life is not without controversy.
HealthWatch: In Vitro Fertilization
Until now, the thinking with in vitro fertilization has been that implanting several embryos improves the chances of having a baby, but new research shows that's not always the case.

New Facebook page for unidentified children
Today we're launching a new Facebook page and need your help spreading the word. Like our newest page, "Help ID Me," and share it with your friends!
Help ID Me is a page dedicated to finding the names of unknown children. These children — often found deceased without any information that can tell law enforcement who they were — deserve to have their names back. We have a caseload of approximately 650 unidentified persons and are working to find an identity for each and every one.
To help with this identification process we have uploaded images and information associated with each case in photo albums, categorized by state. We will also highlight one case a month on the page. Read this month's story about a successful identification.
Play a part in this goal by liking and sharing the Help ID Me page.

building very dirty
We were told the hotel was remodeled, but the room we were given was so bad we refused to accept it. The next room a little better but still dumpy for Las Vegas and especially for the money I paid. I checked out early to get a better place to stay.
Manager went out of his way to accommodate us when we added extra days and then had to reschedule our flight as well.
Like all renovations there is noise but we managed.
Charged for an early check in plus the hotel was a construction zone. The rooms and hallsways and elevetors were nasty, carpet was dirty. Room looked like it hasn't been fixed in 50 yrs. Old furniture, carpet, no clock. Our room was also facing the loud outside food court where live band performed until 4am!
Central to everything in Las Vegas. Easy to get around without a car, busses all around. Clean good comfort. Good parking if you are driving in to Las Vegas. Casino all around you, and good places to eat out in the street in walking distance.
Work all around you. Rebuilding the whole thing, starts early morning at 6 AM over your head.
+ Location + 24 hour check in desk
- We booked a non-smoking room and when we arrived they said that there were no non-smoking rooms left. We had to stay a night in a smoking room for 1 night until we could change the next morning. My clothes then smelled of smoke and my wife (who has asthma) struggled to breath when walking through the hallway. - Only get wifi for one device per room - Beware of extra resort charges (c.$24 per night) on top of the booking.com fees - Renovations going on so the pool wasn't available. This wasn't made clear on booking.com - Doesn't look ANYTHING like the picture. Resort is actually run down and old looking.
Location is center strip..that's it..
We stay at the quad religiously, however, we will not stay there again. They have sealed of the balconies without noting it anywhere on website or when booking. Super increased prices...quality does not match high prices at all. Will not stay here again.
Location, that's it
Construction started at 6 am, Resort fees for closed pool, Nonexistent ceiling - wires and pipes exposed, no fridge in room, torn carpets, wallpaper falling off walls, smells.
staff was great. organized. Great location. Walk every where. Stay if you will only use room to get ready.
The rooms are old carpet is nasty old. Nothing to do w it being clean its just what it is.
It's dirty and dusty, still being renovated while being open. It was very disappointing.
very little
this is a very old hotel and new linens do not make up for limited elevator access and poor dining.
The Location was perfect for what I needed.
The hotel was nearing the end of a remodel. They should have closed the entire place down. The first room we were given reeked of vomit and the carpet was soaking wet. The room that I had reserved was not available. I was not a groupon customer but felt I was treated as The second room was acceptable. I have never stayed in a hotel w/o coffee or a microwave in the room. Service was minimal and the staff all looked like they were at the end of their endurance. The matress had springs that were exposed. Overall it was a very poor experience. fortunately I didn't spend very much time in the room.
Price, Location and facilities.
Parking is too far from the hotel and it's quite confusing to get there. Not enough lighting/lamps at the room (too dark).
The location was the only thing going for it.
There are not enough characters to write everything. But the worst was the awful stink in the hallway and room. It reeked of cigarette smoke. Just absolutely horrific. Will never ever step into this hotel again.
The room was fairly clean for an Old room.
1. The hotel renovation was only half done. 2. Two elevators weren't sufficient for the guest, especially when one was only working part of the time. 3. Room carpet needed replaced. 4. The room view was great, if you love looking at trash on roofs and pigeon poop.
hotel being renovated. no signs telling you where to check in.
I'm amazed that the hotel was even open. I had to walk through a hard hat area full of welding and open elevator shafts to get to the checkin spot. And from there proceed upstairs where the carpet was torn up and paint peeling off the walls. After getting in my stain filled room I soon discovered that my slider did not close or open at all so I had to listen to the non stop party out front by the strip. Will never stay again
We liked The Quad for the price & being so close to other popular locations & lots of food venues.
The shower & sink water goes down slowly. This needs the attention of a plumber.
Wifi Refregerator Breakfast
Being a rewards member, I got to check in at an early time without a fee.
The welcoming staff was a bit condescending when I was checking in since I physically did not have my rewards card with me. So I asked if they could check their system to verify my it. Fortunately, the Registration staff took over and handled the situation efficiently.
Great location
It's a little run down, not too bad though.
Just about everything.
The view lol
O'sheas downstairs
This hotel has been under construction for what seems like forever...longer than it takes some facilities that are 3-4 times it size to complete from ground up. The hallway and room smelled like rotting meat which made all of our clothes smell bad as well. I understand it's under constriction but the smell was awful

As Madonna celebrates the launch of another album today, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect a little bit on her influence on the way that we (or at least those of us born before, like what, 1985) think about our bodies and ourselves.
When my friends and I made dances in my living room, sliding down walls seductively, moving our hips in circles, donning those fingerless gloves, it was Madonna we were channeling. In a fairly frigid suburb, she was one of the only experiences we had of a girl/woman who seemed resolutely in charge of her own sexuality and the expression of it. I think amid all the virgin/whore thinking that permeates too much of most American girl's childhoods, she's was always an interesting anomaly, a woman who couldn't quite be pinned down, someone who disrupted all of those categories with a certain sinful glee (think "Like a Virgin" and "Like a Prayer").
Her legacy is confusing. After all, she is also the material girl–urging total conformity to conspicuous consumption. And as she says in the above clip, she can be "spoiled and petulant." But who can't? And how awesome is it that she is honest about herself? She did smooch Britney Spears during the VMAs in what seemed like a totally flagrant display of "kissing for boys' titillation." Her lyrics have sometimes been incredibly boring, but they've also been awesome: think "Express Yourself" and, one of my personal favorites, "Human Nature"–"Did I say something true? Oops, I didn't know we couldn't talk about sex. Did I have a point of view? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you?"
And as Latoya so thoroughly points out over at Racialicious (thanks for the heads up readers), she's got a really bizarre and possibly colonial mindset when it comes to race and the entire continent of Africa. Major grounds for pause.
Nevertheless, it's fascinating to me that this working class gal from the Detroit suburbs, who had dreams of becoming a ballerina and studied with Alvin Ailey, who dropped out of the University of Michigan and hopped on her first plane ever to New York City with $35 in her pocket, ended up changing the way just about every young woman of a certain generation understood sex. Thank you, Madonna, for being someone who complicated the idea of female sexuality on such a grand scale.
24 Comments
Okay, I have to comment, this is a pet peeve of mine.
In regards to the problematic-ness of Madonna's "Material Girl": to get early Madonna, the visual is critical, and the video for "Material Girl" pokes fun of the Marilyn-Monroe-ish sentiment the lyrics of the song express. In fact, the video Madonna rejects the man who gives her baubles for the working class guy she loves.
If you find some of her concert performances of the song, you'll see that she carries on this interpretation, essentially a parody on the 'diamonds are a girl's best friend' Marilyn, onstage.
Unsurprisingly, the media would rather take the whole thing as literally as possible. In interviews, Madonna expresses her disgust at being referred to as "the Material Girl."
(ahem, Madonna & Marilyn aficionado here…)
Ah, thanks kittentheverb, I obviously haven't watched the video since I was like eight and not really all that familiar with sarcasm. I guess that's the risk of putting it out there with an potentially naive audience.
Patty Smyth wants some Feministing love as well.
what fascinates me about madonna is her ability to single handedly appropriate pretty much EVERY CULTURE IN THE WORLD. (but ok i may also have a little guilty fondness for her.)
also racialicious just had a post on the vanity fair piece on her which due to lack of interwebs-savvy i don't know how to hyperlink so here's the url:
Yay kittentheverb! When I was little my Mom made me watch Material Girl and explained it to me, so I would walk around complaining about adults not getting it (I was, er, moderately precicious.)
Madonna, as well as Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson, were huge influences on me, and definitely a big part of why I'm the woman I am now. HUGE thank you to them (and to Feministing for bringing it up)!!
Ha. When I was doing all those dance moves, I was channeling Michael Jackson!
Ok, but could she please drop the affected British accent?
That racialicious article is great, btw!
I, too, danced around living rooms belting out madonna lyrics when I was little. I am also conflicted about her legacy. But I am mostly confused about the accent.
tinfoil hattie: I, too, danced to Michael Jackson. A lot. I still have the urge to do the moon walk whenever I hear one of his songs haha.
I was all about Madonna, until this week when US Weekly did a piece on Madonna's new "diet." In quotes because it consists of eating about 800 calories a day and exercising about 2hrs daily… If this isn't an eating disorder guide for girls i don't know what is.
Needless to say, it left me a bit disappointed in Madonna…
I think she would be the only mainstream artist that embraced her sexuality but there were certainly other musicians that took a more radical tone that would never get radio play.
I also have the urge to link to this bell hooks piece on Madonna circa 1989 with the "Like A Prayer Video" and its racial images.
Wow feministgal – that US article actually made me a little queasy. I can't believe they published a workout that extreme without advising you to first see your doc at least. Insane.
On the plus side, at least there seem to be quite a few angry (and well informed) commentors. Maybe this is blatant enough that it's going to cause some backlash and hopelessly positive actions…
Wow, that US Magazine was scary…I was glad to see most of the comments seemed to be from people who at least knew this was unsafe. Of course there were the few "oh, I bet all of you who think this is bad are on the couch with a burger you must be teh fatties" asshats, but the majority of the people on their knew that diet was too extreme and unhealthy.
I was in college when Madonna hit the scene in the early 80s. For all the reasons Courtney mentions, I respect her.
However, her treatment of other people has been a bit borderline (in the literal clinical sense and yes, a play on her song of the same name). If you haven't watched Truth or Dare before or in a while, you might want to refresh your memory.
She's controversial, she makes us think. That's what she has icon status which is deserved.
But there always seemed to me some kind of a meanness, or something, generated toward others, that drove what she did – to get a reaction kind of thing, that really bothers me still about her motivations.
How big a role should that play into acknowledging her influence? Maybe not so much – but I do believe it's relevant to think about when we think about her.
Maybe I'm just an old fart, but I associate the rise of Madonna with the rise of the hyper-sexualization of little girls. I don't consider this a good thing.
I apologize if this double posts, but the first one seems to have disappeared -
I may just be an old fart, but I associate the rise of Madonna with the rise of the hyper-sexualization of little girls. I don't consider this a good thing.
My take in college (Madonna's break onto the music scene), and my take now is that any one is welcome to participate in any sort of consensual adult sexual activity s/he wishes to. I just really don't want to have to watch it.
Thank you for posting this. I love Madonna so much, and when I was little I used to watch her 'human nature' video and I'd ask my family what it meant— They would tell me it means girls can do whatever boys can do.
I'm annoyed by the criticism of Madonna in the feminist community… we have a strong, powerful, female legacy who opened the doors for female sexuality in so many ways… and some people still aren't satisfied. Wake up people! Things are not going to be perfect for a long time. I appreciate Madonna for her ruthless sexual expression and her deep belief that women are just as sexual as men and SHOULD be allowed to express it.
Also, I have heard that Madonna is bi…and I don't think that the kiss was for the 'boys' I think it was for the lesbian and gay community.
Madonna? Really? That's the best person you could think of to thank?
What I've always admired about Madonna (not so into her music–just generally not my thing) is how incredibly persisting she is. I don't know much of her early history (I was very young in the 80s), but she seems to have handled being a young female star with more grace than many (Traci Lords, for example). She has completely altered her image over and over, and the remarkable thing is that she at least seems to be completely in control of it and of her media presence. She doesn't show up on tabloid covers the way I'm sure lots of tabloids would love, and neither do her kids.
There are plenty of criticisms to be made about her attitudes towards other people, her racial politics, and the sexualization of little girls (someone already mentioned this–I actually see that becoming more of a problem in the mid 90s with Britney Spears, but maybe that's just when I was old enough to notice it), but I've always seen her as a great role model for girls and women just in terms of the control she has (or seems to have) over her image and her life.
I always liked Madonna for her honesty about her abortions. How many other famous beyond belief celebrities talk about that in public?
But I read that bell hooks article, and I have to admit, "Like a Prayer" is weird with race. I'm not sure I get what the video is talking about, but it is strange to have a Black Methodist choir in a Catholic church.
The bell hooks article is great, but there was something that stuck out to me as just wrong…"Given her obsession with exposing the reality that the ideal female beauty in this society can be attained by artifice and social construction, it should come as no surprise that many of her fans are gay men…". Yeah, because obviously gay men just really want to be women?
MADONNA? Groan. Ooh, she's controversial, she's provocative, yeah, but why? To forward feminism or to keep attention on herself so she can rake in the bucks? I have nothing against ambitious women (obviously), but Madonna is just a capitalist in a misfit's clothing. She's never been a talented singer, and currently her only claim to fame is being able to touch her toes despite her age. There are so many better examples of female musicians to hold up and thank.
Madonna has not made my life better as a woman; if anything she has perpetuated the expectation of women wanting to be objectified and to be judged as a sexual fantasy. She owes her career to a very unique time in history when people did not care about the quality of music from their musical icons yet still wanted longevity from their icons' careers. Even in the beginning, she was nothing original, she was just one of many NY scenesters who happened to become visible. But her fashion and vulgarity was all she had going for her. Her music, her lyrics? No different from any other pop star of that era. And the fact that she has had to completely reinvent herself with every album just shows how uninteresting she is and how far she must go to keep people's attention.
I think it is a HUGE sign of white privilege that Courtney can acknowledge and yet readily overlook all the ways Madonna has exploited and discarded minority cultures and systems of faith, not to mention the way she puts down and bullies other female musicians.
I also don't see how upholding the unrealistic beauty standards of 20 somethings in her 50s is helpful either. I mean she can do what she wants, but if she had real power or self-esteem I think she'd stop cutting her face up and starving herself all day.
Bottom line — few people are more fake, arrogant, or overrated than Madonna.
A good book on Madonna worth a read is "The I Hate Madonna Handbook" by Ilene Rosenzweig. I resisted it for many years due to my own conflicted emotions re Madonna (I am close to her age). The book covers her history up to the Blond Ambition Tour, yet gives gives an extensive picture of how self-interest has been the main motivator in her life. I've read enough bios on her that I am convinced she is a victim of child sexual molestation, somewhere in her background. She says she has had psychological help, but there is something about her that is "off", even today. She learned early in her life how to work it, at other's expense. In order to appreciate Madonna, I have to separate the person from the entertainer.
Cher said Madonna has always been a cunt when it comes to needing to be the center of attention. Since Madonna is stinking rich, I won't fork-out money for anything she does unless I can purchase it used. I do not like the way she needs to contrast herself to other performers (who can actually sing). She has managed to set some different standards for modern females, based entirely on her use and exploitation of sex.
A few Madonna facts from this book: she was Mick Jagger's groupie and screwed the daylights out of him. She didn't practice birth-control and had at least 3 abortions before her first album was published. She survived NY by borrowing money and ripping-off anyone who tried to help her. She DID sleep with girls and also ripped every one of them off. She married Sean Penn and proceeded to rip-off George Harrison hundreds of thousands of dollars on Shanghai Express. She took the Pepsi Company for several hundred thousand more. She was an exhibitionist, stripping down to her underwear and/or going naked in public for shock value. She's ripped-off other people's cultures (especially the gay culture) not as a philanthropist but in self-interest. A lot of people who have loved her also ended up suing her. She's thrown screaming fits in front of her staff, belittling them and scaring them into submission.
Jackie O. forbid her son, John, to date her because she felt Madonna was a "social-climber, a tramp, and sacrilegious." Madonna used to cruise the ghettos in a limo and invite several Latino boys in for sex. Madonna has had to pay-off people, to ensure they will keep their mouths shut. How are these patterns, for starters?
This book is worth reading for any strong, intelligent female who has conflicted emotions regarding Madonna. Madonna has enjoyed the luxury of keeping her secrets from a public that did not have access to the internet for many years. She got away with living-hell, because we, her older fans, never had a place where we could question of discuss our confusion. We just had to suck her up at face-value. An updated copy of Madonna's accounts is needed! "The I Hate Madonna Handbook" is worth a study, and should be available on Amazon.

How tight should compression garment be?
- finally done
- Moorestown,NJ
- 2 years ago
Had smart lipo on flanks, upper and lower abs on Jan 31, 2012. Because of the problem area of my stomach, I used to wear all types of one piece girdle undies that ran from bra line down. We used to call the "all in onesno it now they are called shapers etc... Because of my years of wearing these things to try and achieve some sort of flatness I am not sure if I am compressing too tight. When I take the compression garment off, I have indents on my butt where it ends and my lower abs are more sore. I loosening it up some but don't want to undo what was done. Any rule of thumb would greatly help. Thanks very much.

I'm a month out too. How are your results? I have the same under garment you have. I just wonder if they really work...I've read mixed reviews.
- Reply
Doing well. Still a little numb on flanks but I think that it's from sitting at work. Have found that the best garment to wear now is the tank top miracle suit. I wear one that is not as tight for sleeping cause the suit is too snug and the rubber things to hold the bottom down bother me at night. I am down 1pant size and have no pain. Back at the gym. So glad I had it done
- Reply
Be really careful about the indents and lines created by your garment. Be sure to move garment around and massage the indents after you take it off. I wear mine moderately tight. I read it can increase swelling and bruising if too tight.

Thanks. Been a month and still wearing garment. Went from one doctor gave me to a "miracle suit" tank top type. It has a bra cup area and rubber stays on the bottom to keep it in place. Not cheap but the most comfortable with still a lot of support. You just have to make sure that you get it right cause if the bottom rolls up then it hurts! There are no seams so i'm not getting any pressure points. I even wear it to the gym!

If you can breathe they aren't tight enough! :) Just kidding. I think that you can't really get them too tight, I wear mine as tight as I can possibly handle. The garment that my doc gave me is pretty bulky so I have to double up the spanx-like compressors during the day at work and then I put the doc prescribed one back on when I'm at home. I'm only a week out, but I've noticed the garments help with swelling and I'm guessing they help with shrinking the skin back up too...but it's definitely the most uncomfortable part of my recovery to date.

Ira man denies firearm threatSeptember 24,2013By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
A man on probation for shooting up a car was in court on a fresh weapons charge Monday.
Nathan J. Butler, 19, of Route 133 in Ira, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a single charge of aggravated assault with a weapon. The charge carries a maximum of 15 years in prison. Butler was held for a lack of $5,000 bail.
Butler and his girlfriend arrived at 129 River St. early Saturday evening, according to Rutland City Police, in search of his girlfriend's ex-husband, 28-year-old Ricky Chandler. The address was home to friends of Chandler's, according to affidavits, who said he had been drinking and was sleeping it off outside in his car.
Witnesses, including Chandler, described Butler waking Chandler and confronting him with a handgun, according to police. They described Chandler as bleeding from the face, but none of them, not even Chandler, were able to tell police how he suffered the injury, according to affidavits.
Chandler described Butler pointing the gun at him and screaming, police said, ordering him to get out of his car and into Butler's truck. Chandler told police he feared for his life, started his car and drove away.
"Ricky (Chandler) did not remember driving from the house and said the next thing he remembered was being near the park in Fair Haven where his sister picked him up and brought him to Glens Falls hospital," police wrote in an affidavit.
Police also said Chandler said he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.124 when he arrived at the hospital, where he was treated for a cut above his right eye.
Police said they were made aware of the incident when they responded to a report of a fuel spill in the road on River Street, left by Butler's truck, and were approached by witnesses while waiting for the fire department to arrive. Police said they asked why none of the witnesses called 911 during the incident and were not given a reason.
Police said they located Butler at his home in Ira and while Butler agreed to speak to police, none of what he said to them was described in the affidavits. The only indication of motive came from one of the witnesses, who police said described Butler telling him he was looking for Chandler due to monetary and personal disputes.
In court Monday, prosecutors and Judge Theresa S. DiMauro noted that Butler was on probation for an incident last year in which police said he fired four shotgun blasts of birdshot into a parked Hyundai Elantra during a dispute with a neighbor over a woman.

More Bad News For 9/11 Rescue Workers
are suffering from asthma at a rate that's 12 times higher than normal,
according to a new Health Department survey released yesterday. 3.6 percent of the
more than 25,000 workers enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Registry
report the condition, supporting previous findings that 70 percent of ground
zero workers have suffered from lung problems. In the days following the attack,
the Environmental Protection Agency assured the public that the air at ground
zero was safe to breathe, despite having no evidence to support their claims.
Where and when workers worked also seemed to play a role.
Those who worked "directly on the pile" and those who arrived at the site the day
of the attacks and worked for more than 90 days had especially high rates of 7%.
The data also show that workers who used masks or respirators during the
recovery effort had reduced rates.
"It is clear that this was preventable," New York Committee
on Occupational Health and Safety's Joel Schufro told NY1, "had the city and
contractors instituted programs where workers were required to wear
respirators, had trained workers appropriately to do so and created the
conditions under which they could wear them." The Health Department is currently
conducting follow-up surveys to monitor workers' health.

Hi, my name is Jessica. I just moved to Tel Aviv from Atlanta, Georgia. I am pretty fluent in Hebrew (I understand more than I can speak) but know it will improve. I grew up in Atlanta but have also lived in New York and Florida. I went to the University of Georgia for undergrad (I'm a huge college football fan) and went to New York for grad school. I like traveling, going out, watching movies, enjoying the beach, playing tennis and hanging out with friends. I am caring, funny, outgoing, enthusiastic, and independent. My family and Judaism are very important to me and I am looking for someone with these same values. I am also looking for someone who is smart and funny.

Actresses share a history in Wayside, 'Steel Magnolias'

MIDDLETOWN -- Wayside Theatre's performance of Robert Harling's "Steel Magnolias," which begins today, calls together six women in a story about friendship and personal history.
Considering the past among the play's six actresses, most of whom have a history with Wayside, too, they should not have trouble conveying their chemistry to audiences.
Ilona Dulaski, Tracey Copeland Halter and guest director William Diggle were part of Wayside's performance of the play 11 years ago.
"The story of the play has a profound effect on people," said Wayside's artistic director Warner Crocker. "It's tremendously popular and deservedly so."
"It will be different because there's a different director this time," he said.
Diggle, who was an intern for the 2000 production, is directing his second play in a row this summer. "The Nerd" was his first, though he has directed in the past.
"That show 11 years ago was and is one of my favorites on the Wayside stage, which says a lot because I wasn't in it," Diggle said of "Steel Magnolias."
As an intern, he worked backstage on the show.
There's something about the camaraderie among the women in "Magnolias" that draws in viewers, Crocker said.
A lot of people think of it as a chick flick or a women's play, he said, but he recalls plenty of men asking about the show and looking forward to its presentation at Wayside.
"That mystery of what do women say when we are not around," Diggle said makes the show more interesting for men. "There's a lot of humor."
The story of women who gather at Truvy's Beauty Salon in Chinquapin, La., to have their hair done, "Magnolias" is both comedy and drama. The plot covers several years in the women's lives, dealing with marriage, birth, death and illness.
Dulaski and Halter especially feel connected to the show because they both will reprise former roles.
"We were way too young for the roles 11 years ago," said Halter, who plays Truvy.
Dulaski, who plays Ouiser, told Halter to speak for herself.
Halter said she previously did not have the life experience to be able to connect with the role like she can today.
"I've lived a little," she said. "She's a woman with two kids and a husband, and now I'm a woman with two kids and a husband." If that were not enough motivation to recommit to the role, she said, last time she had to quit the play when she learned of the death of her father.
"My mom and sister were on their way to see the play," she said. "I feel like I have unfinished business with 'Steel Magnolias.'"
Wayside had understudies at the time, Diggle said, so the role of Truvy was covered in Halter's absence.
Halter said recent rehearsals have allowed her to approach the role anew, since it's been so long since she last performed as Truvy.
"I remember the feeling; I loved doing it," she said. "I definitely remember that experience fondly."
Sarah Melinda plays Annelle, Faith Potts plays Clairee and Dana Colagiovanni plays M'Lynn. First-timer at Wayside, Emelie Faith Thompson, who plays Shelby, knows the play from performing in a production at Shenandoah University when she was a student.
"These six ladies rock," Crocker said.
"They work together wonderfully," Diggle agreed. It helps that every actress in the play already knew at least one other actress from performing together before.
"That gives you an instant sense of ensemble," Diggle said.
"Steel Magnolias" will open at Wayside Theatre in Middletown today at 2:30 p.m. and will run through Sept. 24. Performances are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m., and Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. For tickets and information, call the box office at 869-1776 or visit www.waysidetheatre.org.

"Hey! Look! Out in the streets!A 2006-to-2008 Fish out of Water Work Com Nicktoon animated in-house at Animation Collective, and Nicktoons Network's first original cartoon. The show blends tropes from both American cartoons and Japanese cartoons. Kappa Mikey is about American teenage actor Mikey Simon who wins a contest giving him a role in the flagging anime series Lily Mu, and ends up making it a hit. Lily Mu is a show that parodies, and includes, more Superhero and Shōnen tropes than would fit in this article, and are all the more appropriate to contrast with the ordinary "real world" in the main show.After moving to Japan, Mikey constantly finds himself in conflict with both the culture of his new homeland, and with his cast-mates. Episodes usually revolve around Mikey and his friends learning An Aesop as they deal with off-screen problems that are impairing their acting performance. Said problems are often rather bizarre, like the time a rapping, self-aware sock puppet threatened to upstage Lily on a magazine's "Most Beautiful People" list. An in-joke for the 4Kids fans exists where most of the voice actors also worked on their anime dubs back in the day.The initial response from the show's premiere was met with less-than-positive reviews, and there is still a large body of haters (professional animators, actual otaku, That Dude in the Suede, in particular). That said though, it does have its fans and following (the fact it has two seasons is proof of that). And it is generally agreed, if one looks past the attempted parody aspect, it's a decent and amusing animated workcom series if nothing else.The show is available on iTunes. It is also succeeded by one Spinoff mini-series that is available on YouTube and has-you guessed it- never seen the light of day in United States television.Now with a Characters page. Any tropes specific to an individual character should go there. Also a Recap page.
Don't you see the man is Kappa Mikey!"
This series features examples of:
Engineer 1: How do you think the network is going to feel about all that farting?
Engineer 2: Are you kidding? They're going to love it!

rotation and duty, curriculum, program content, and clinical experience (ACGME, 2005b). The first round of program accreditation was effective July 1, 2005, and 25 programs have received accreditation from ACGME for fellowship training.
In response to increasing recognition and awareness of the importance of sleep and sleep disorders, professional certification in sleep medicine has been administered for physicians and practitioners to demonstrate skill and competence.
The American Sleep Disorders Association (now the AASM) in 1978 established an examination committee. That same year, the committee held the inaugural clinical polysomnography examination; 21 candidates passed the exam. Each year the examination committee received an increasing number of applications, which led to discussions regarding the future of certification. In 1989, the AASM voted to create an independent entity, and in 1991 the ABSM was incorporated and assumed all the activities and responsibilities of the former examination committee.
The ABSM is an independent nonprofit organization and has a board of directors that oversees all aspects of exam administration and governance. The ABSM was self-designated and was not recognized by the ABMS.
Until 2005, the ABSM certification examination consisted of two parts. The part I examination consisted of multiple choice questions covering the basic sciences of sleep, clinical sleep medicine, and interpretation of polysomnogram fragments and other material. Part II was computer-based and consisted of a series of clinical cases with partial polysomnograms, Multiple Sleep Latency Tests, and other relevant data, with candidates typing short answers to questions. The ABSM decided to fuse the two parts of the examination in 2005 and offer a single-day, one-part examination that incorporates the format of both former parts.
Eligibility for the examination is dependent on a candidate fulfilling five requirements as well as possessing acceptable experience in the evaluation of sleep disorders patients. These eligibility requirements ensure adequate and proper education and training—either through an accredited fellowship program or through a combination of training and experience—and competency evaluation through certification of a primary board. Professionals from other clinical disciplines, such as doctoral psychologists and nurses who met all criteria, were also eligible to sit for the examination.
Over the past 14 years, the ABSM certification examination has developed a strong reputation in the medical community and experienced tre-
