But then I got to the Meow and Woof part! Good heavens! What is he thinking? That is totally unacceptable, and especially disgusting since those are/were your personal, private inside joke. How dare he share that with another woman!
I agree with others--this is flirting, and he is heading down the slippery slope.
This definitely merits further investigation (sleuthing), and a serious talk, with you decked out in your fiercest bitch boots.
As mentioned upthread, on top of everything else, he is probably breaking a university policy that could get him fired.

9 year LTA with former co-worker and family "friend"/7 years EA+PA, 2 more years EA
I have a huge headache.
I checked phones, emails, records and found nothing.
We went to dinner and I confronted. He seemed surprised. Then stunned.
Just to give u a little history:
A few years back there was this man in one his classes that gave him the nickname Pdog and that kind of stuck. He and this guy eventually became friends and started a side business together (academic related).
The way he knows the Meow woman is that she marked papers for him last year and she did some marketing for their business as well as spreading the word about the program.
She had taken one of his classes last year.
And she would always meow at her friend who was also taking the class. She mentioned that she was obsessed with cats and he popped in the conversation and said how I call him dog.
So from then on she would do the Meow in the end of her emails. And he would respond with woof.
This is so stupid that I am writing all this to u guys. But I am still upset.
Students like him because he is humorous, approachable and helpful with advice etc but this situation has turned me off.
I still think it's crossing a line.
We have been in R for almost 4 years now and it has been an excruciating road.
The last 2 years have been very good though...
We have not had an affair related fight for 2 years and I felt so good.
But just reading the emails threw me for a loop.
Triggered me bigtime...left me literally shaking.

And yes, even after 4 years, your H's boundaries need attention. What he may consider no big deal has to change after infidelity. If it's a big deal to you, then let him know, don't bite your lip and cave. It won't help in the end.
I think you have all the info. you need at this point, Audrina, but I'll go ahead and chime in.
No, it's not appropriate for him to be this "friendly" with a student, period. It crosses a professional boundary that all profs know about (or should, unless they're boundary-challenged, like unfortunately many of our WSs are).
Right, it could look bad/biased to request "male student assistants only", but...we are always allowed final say in our assistants, and your WS could reject all but the males, if he really wanted to. My university lets us choose our assistants, as do many other colleges, and I always choose women. And given that he's already had an affair with one student, he should be super sensitive about it.
I do disagree a bit with another poster, in that I don't think that it's a myth that students often idealize us, and/or could become infatuated. We are up on a pedestal to them, and many desire attention from us - even if it's more parental in nature. Also, many have hidden mommy/daddy complexes that wouldn't take much of a push to sexualize. We have a HUGE power unbalance with our students, so we have to be ultra cautious in all our interactions. We can lift them, or level them, with a single word or expression.
So it's up to us to have iron-clad boundaries in place, such as: no student in my office with the door closed; no meeting with an individual student for more than 15 minutes (beyond that, it's tutoring and I refer them to a tutor); no "listening to their problems" - if we suspect there IS a serious problem, I hand them a card for the university's mental health services. We are not, nor should be, their therapists. That doesn't make us cold and uncaring. And no opposite sex assistants. Period.
I went through that too, my H used to be a professor as well. Needless to say, he has a new career. Talking to students about non-class related shit so he can be seen as the "cool" professor does not fly with me. Being flirty does not fly with you, he needs to make some changes now, either career changes or boundary changes. Put your foot down.

MADRE Statements
Looking Towards the Future: A Note from Vivian Stromberg
Posted on: Tuesday, May 25, 2010
Keywords: Activist, Nicaragua, Latin America, Human Rights Advocacy
Dear Friends,
I'm writing to you from Nicaragua, where I just had a long conversation with Mirna Cunningham, my dear friend and MADRE's first-ever partner from 1983. We made plans for MADRE to send another shipment of medicines and school supplies to Indigenous women's organizations in Nicaragua and Mirna told me how much it means to her that this partnership between MADRE and the women in her community is still going strong after all these years.
Our talk made me remember the very beginning of my friendship with Mirna, which was also the beginning of MADRE. In the summer of 1983, as a long-time peace and justice activist, I joined a group of US women invited by Mirna and other Nicaraguan women to see for ourselves the devastation caused by the US government's undeclared war on their country.
We were deeply moved by what we saw and heard on that visit. Most of all, we were moved by the women of Nicaragua; women who wielded joy as a weapon against despair and knew the power of joining hands to create change. After the visit, we set out to build an organization that would respond to the needs of women and families threatened by US policy and give people in the US concrete ways to build alternatives to unjust policies. We were inspired by the Mothers' Committees of Nicaragua — women whose children had been killed by the Contras or during the fight to overthrow the right-wing Somoza regime. And so we named the organization MADRE.
Our commitment ran deep, but we never dreamed when we founded MADRE that we were laying the foundation for an international women's human rights organization that would last for decades and grow to encompass a network of women activists, advocates, educators and community leaders in more than a dozen countries. I had no idea then that being among MADRE's founders would be one of my proudest accomplishments. In 1991, I became MADRE's Executive Director. Since then, we've expanded our programs to the Middle East, Africa and Asia. We've advanced the fight for women's human rights at the United Nations and we've produced educational material that's helped shift the conversation about social justice and women's rights—in the US and globally.
My recent talk with Mirna gave me a chance to reflect not only on my past work with MADRE, but also on my future. Over the years, I've played many roles at MADRE. Now, at age 69, I am ready to move from being MADRE's Executive Director to being its Senior Advisor. I know that you share my commitment to this work, so I wanted to tell you myself about this transition. Although I will stay deeply involved with MADRE, this transition will give me the time I have longed for to be with my family and most especially, my grandchildren.
I'm pleased that we've begun this transition at a time when MADRE has both deep roots and vibrant branches in many communities around the world. MADRE's vitality is truly a testimony to your commitment. We are fortunate to have a strong Board and a dedicated staff, but it's your support that gives us the means to create and grow our programs on behalf of women around the world. Unlike most international organizations, 70 percent of our budget comes from members like you. Your support has enabled us to guarantee that our programs have continuity and depth and, of course, to see us through tough times. It's your support and participation that makes MADRE such a strong international family.
As we begin the process of identifying and welcoming new leadership, I hope I can count on your continued support. Since I know you care deeply about MADRE's work, I'd like to ask for your help in our search for a new Executive Director. Please share this message with qualified people you know, and help us circulate it online. And, as always, thank you for your support.
In peace and justice,

PARK RIDGE— On Saturday, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law a measure that will make it easier for the Cook County Board to override the board president's veto.
"This is a great day for
Kotowski has been pushing to lower the Cook County Board's absurdly high veto threshold since February. Under the new law, the number of votes the board needs to override the president's veto has been lowered from a nearly unattainable four-fifths majority to a much more reasonable three-fifths majority. This change brings the Cook County Board's veto override procedures in line with those of the General Assembly and all other
"The lower veto override threshold is fairer for county voters and taxpayers," Kotowski said. "We've seen the county board fail to override the president's veto by a single vote so many times this year. We needed reform, and we've finally got it."
Kotowski introduced a number of versions of the bill in an effort to ensure its passage and find the most reasonable and immediate way to restore democracy to the Cook County Board. The final version that made it to the governor was House Bill 4625.
"This new law takes effect immediately," Kotowski said. "That's one of the provisions I really fought for. The lower veto override threshold should allow the Cook County Board to revisit some of the tough issues they've faced this year, like the unpopular sales tax increase."
"I am going to be able to go back to my constituents and report the good news that there's an opportunity ahead in the near future to perhaps the repeal of that sales tax," said State Sen. Michael Noland, a co-sponsor of the legislation.
Kotowski and Noland joined the governor at the signing ceremony Saturday afternoon.
"I urged Governor Quinn to sign this legislation quickly, and he has," Kotowski noted. "I'd like to thank him for his quick action. I think a lot of the residents of

Bruins look for rare Game 1 victory
|04.12.12 at 1:38 pm ET
Not to rain on 2011's parade, but one detail that may go forgotten as the story of that Bruins team is told is that the Bruins lost Game 1 of every series except the one they swept against the Flyers.
In hindsight, it's just a minor detail that showed the makeup of the team. They came back from 1-0 deficits in three times, and from 2-0 deficits twice. They were resilient, and they didn't give in whenever they fell behind.
That's all fine and dandy, but the B's would probably rather change that aspect of this postseason by picking up some Game 1 victories.
Two of those Game 1 losses were shutouts, as the B's were blanked by Carey Price in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals and Roberto Luongo in the Stanley Cup finals. The Bruins obviously recovered nicely in both series as well as the Eastern Conference finals (they lost Game 1, 5-2, to Tampa Bay), but they'd rather start their series with the Capitals differently.
"This team has a lot of confidence and knows how to play under pressure and just knows how to come back from deficits in a series or in a game, but it doesn't mean we can just rely on that," B's defenseman Dennis Seidenberg said after Thursday's morning skate. "We have to be focused and bring our A game tonight."
The numbers are skewed a bit by their 7-3 win over the Flyers in Game 1 of the conference semifinals last year, but the B's were outscored, 11-9 in Game 1s last postseason (8-2 in their Game 1 losses). In the rest of the postseason, they outscored their opponents by a 72-42 margin.
A series is not won and lost in the first game, and truthfully, losing three of four Game 1s is a good thing because it means a team played in four Game 1s. Still, taking a series lead on home ice couldn't hurt, could it?

Fox's announcement today that Harold Reynolds and former Reds pitcher C.J. Nitkowski joined Fox's baseball team gave me a chance to exchange emails with Reds TV announcer Thom Brennaman about his Fox TV network plans.
Brennaman says he's starting his 21st year at Fox Sports doing baseball and football. He's scheduled for 12 regular season "MLB of Fox" network baseball games, in addition to his Reds TV games on Fox Sports Ohio. He's not sure about post-season plans, due to his NFL commitment for Fox.
"Fox has two division series in the new TV contract. I don't know if I'm doing that, because it's a tricky dance with NFL season underway by then," he said. He'll be paired with former Dodgers infielder Eric Karros on most of his "MLB on Fox" Saturday games.
Fox announced today that Reynolds, the former ESPN and MLB Network baseball analyst, and Emmy-winning Sports Illustrated baseball writer Tom Verducci, will replace Tim McCarver as Joe Buck's baseball partners this year.
Fox also said that Nitkowski,the Reds' 1994 first-round draft pick, will join Kevin Burkhardt, Frank Thomas or former player Gabe Kapler on the "MLB on Fox" pregame show. Nitkowski, who won 18 and lost 32 in 10 Major Leauge Baseball seasons, last year co-hosted "Eye on Baseball" for CBS Sports Radio, and was a MLB Network Radio analyst on Sirius XM radio.
Here's a link to the release.

7 Things My Toddlers Would (Almost) Always Eat
Toddlers are funny. They think they know everything, including what they like and don't like to eat. But they can be fooled, at least some of the time. Take soup. My little ones liked soup — just not always with a spoon. So I called it "dip," passed them a bowl of carrot sticks and declared it a meal! Here are seven things my toddlers would (almost) always eat.
- Carrots: They're sweet and easy to handle. We told the kids they could avoid wearing glasses like Daddy if they ate their carrots. True? Maybe. Dipped in yogurt, hummus or nut butter, they make a great meal.
- Spinach: Oddly enough, my boys all loved it. Add chopped spinach to quick bread for a special St. Patrick's Day treat. Invoke Sam-I-Am and scramble it with eggs any day of the week.
- Anything dressed like a burrito: In a rut, I would serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in a whole wheat wrap. Eggs for breakfast, peanut butter and banana for lunch, and beans, spinach and cheese for dinner. Most chopped vegetables, as long as they weren't too easily recognizable, were acceptable in a wrap.
- Quiche: I originally sold this one as "cheese pie." Quiche hides a variety of vegetables, though spinach was and is a favorite. Something about a flaky pie crust makes everything taste better.
- Rice: My kids will eat rice any way I serve it, whether it's risotto, fried rice, sushi or plain.
- Pasta: Mac and cheese, of course. But they never objected to a little broccoli mixed in with it.
- Anything fried: And it didn't have to be decadent. A piece of fish dredged in bread crumbs and sautéed in a pan was more appealing than bare fish, and it got them used to the taste. Also? I lied and told at least one of them it was chicken, then surprised him with the fact that he liked fish!
And I tried not to push too hard. When a toddler is having a moment, even birthday cake offends!
What are (or were!) your go-to foods for little ones? If you have more than one child, were their eating habits the same or did you learn a new routine?

I could get mine to eat almost anything if it was covered in "pramesan" (parmesan!) cheese.
For us, it is breakfast foods: he'll always eat eggs, scrambled or hardboiled (he won't eat the "smoke"/yolk), waffles, pancakes, baked oatmeal, porridge-style oatmeal either steel-cut or rolled, and of course, bacon.
Definitely looking forward to everyone's responses here--we just welcomed a 2-yr-old foster son into our home, and so far we've been able to get him to eat little other than Pediasure, (watered-down) juice, crackers and a few blueberries.
Ha. Quiche was "eggy pie" when I was little. "Cheese pie" sounds a little more appetizing, to be honest.
Thank you for this! I was so excited to see it, and it gives me some ideas (and hope--also very important!). My son is only 16 months, so I can't reason with him yet (e.g., "you won't have to wear glasses like I do..."). I'm going to have to try the burrito idea, and the quiche! I haven't had great luck with pasta--very hit or miss; no idea why.
Our go-to foods go through cycles. "Bean dip" is generally successful (mashed black beans or refried beans mixed with some tomatillo sauce), and I like it because I can overload it with veggies (red pepper, tomato, carrot, onion, etc.). I mean, anything with cheese in it tastes good, right? My other go-to food is mashed banana with greek yogurt and peanut butter; if he's refused everything else, sometimes this will give him a least a few calories before bedtime.
My biggest problem is getting him to taste something... if he doesn't like it, fine, I'm not going to make him eat it. But I wish he would TRY it. Many things he looks at when I put it on his tray, and then pushes off the side or just completely ignores. I think presentation goes a long way, at least with him. Scrambled eggs? Nope. But eggs mixed with a little mexican rice and cooked into a little patty? Sure!
Kids are strange.
A dietician told me it takes on average more than 20 times of trying a new food before a child will "like" it, and that they are texture-phobic. As a child I always loved cooked carrots and broccoli.
My kids would always eat the meat or fish, and carb components of a meal with gusto. My eldest was allergic to eggs and shellfish, so we scrupulously avoided those for many years. To this day, even though he grew out of those allergies, eggs and prawns are practically the only things he will not eat, which makes me think that repeated exposure to a variety of foods at an early age is key to developing children's palate.
If my 4 year old won't eat her meat (chicken, pork, steak), we just give her some ranch or "green sauce" (salsa verde) to dip it in. Does the trick every time.
My little kids love egg sponges. You mix up an egg in a custard cup (oil or spray first) then microwave the thing for around 25-30". Puffs up and looks just like a bath sponge! They loved them. You can give them ketcup to dip the sponge in. Very cool.
My toddler seems to have a liking towards spaghetti noodles. Made some garlic butter arugula spaghetti and he ate it up with his hands! :)
Most foods that had a little bit of fat (butter, olive oil) and/or cheese added to it were winners in for my daughter. One thing that worked for me was deconstructing her meals using the same components of my husband and my dinner but just plating them individually.
But kids are finicky. My daughter went through stages where she loved seeingly 'adult' foods (artichokes were a great example) and then suddenly, couldn't stand them. Oh well-feeding her certainly keeps me on my toes.
Green (sauce made from pureed spinach or chard) mac n cheese. Steamed won tons. Avocado, cheese and fruit are almost always a hit.
Black beans, in any form. Would happily eat them plain, with her fingers.
Anything in pancake form: latkes, sneak carrots and zucchini into those latkes, Korean veggie pancakes, buckwheats (still a fave), scallion pancakes (at 7 she makes these herself), even lemon ricotta pancakes if they're topped with strawberries and maple syrup. If it was round and delivered on a spatula, it would be eaten, no questions asked.
Our favorites are currently the All Things G&D blueberry protein pancakes, fruits of all sorts, sweet potatoes (roasted with olive oil and cinnamon), yogurts, cottage cheese, cheese of any kind, anything in a mini muffin pan (quiches with carrots, zucchini, and broccoli, the Skinny Taste zucchini tots, BLW morning glory muffins, etc.), and anything that is in little tiny pieces (not sure why, but he loves peas and pea-sized things). We tend to feed what we eat in a deconstructed way.
If I want him to try something new, I put it on his plate while I'm fixing dinner - he always comes to me and asks to be "up!" while I'm cooking, so he sees something on his plate and wants to try it. We can get him to try new things then that he won't touch on his dinner plate twenty minutes later. After trying them 5-10 times, he usually starts to eat them the rest of the time, too.
When my brother was a toddler a long time ago, I remember him going through a phase where he would eat anything served to him as long he had an egg to go along with it. You could give him the weirdest and most horrible tasting dishes and he'd eat it all up as long as he had an egg. He's now an adult and he still does this once in a while.
When I was a kid we just ate whatever my mom made without complaint. It was probably a combination of her great cooking and the fact that she had four non-picky eaters! The only thing I ever refused to eat was sauteed chicken livers. I'm pretty sure I went to bed hungry that night. I'm in my early twenties now, and although I don't have kids, I have been babysitting for that last decade or so. I find that the pickiest children are often the ones who eat a lot of processed food and really like sweets. Of course, every child is different, and this has just been my experience :-)
My kids will always eat yogurt, peanut butter, granola bars, and meat of any kind in any form. Weirdly, neither of them like bread and pasta or rice have to be smothered in sauce and/or mixed with meat. On the whole, we are lucky that our kids will almost always eat whatever we are eating.
My 18-month old won't touch anything green anymore and has decided that she doesn't like carrots. She lives on string cheese, mac and cheese (prefers Panera's), bananas, mandarin orange slices, fruit cups, strawberries, and yogurt (Yo-Baby and Yo-Toddler yogurts or plain Greek yogurt, which I mix with Plum Organics purees). She also loves peanut butter, graham crackers, and toast.
Toothpicks! Poking and then eating his food with a toothpick somehow changes how our older son interacts with food. Even at almost 6, it's his favorite way to eat Indian food. BTW, "When a toddler is having a moment, even birthday cake offends!" is probably the best observation I've read this week.
I loved reading these as I was a very picky eater when I was little and pancakes and peanut butter were always on my go to list. As a reformed picky eater I would like to say
1. We were never allowed sweets or processed foods that did not affect me
2. My mom did not tolerate my pickiness and until I was about 10 I was required to eat whatever was on the plate and could not leave the table until I did. If it was bed time, guess what I was having for breakfast?!
3. After 10 I was allowed to make myself a pbj for dinner.
4. I now eat just about anything, including all veggies, fish, and about a million other things I once refused. I am at a healthy weight and am very adventurous with foods.
All to say: don't worry parents. They won't starve and it won't necessarily affect the rest of their (food) lives.
gina25--- wonderful comments---always good to remember as a parent--- we only have "so" much control.
I also like the comment about offering children foods 20 times-- I believe this is a great idea and I heard something similar--- now I just keep offering up the green beans :)
Ha! We called quiche "eggy pie", too. We also called salmon "pink chicken". I'm still amazed we got away with that one.
My kids would eat any vegetable cut into long strips, roasted (though sometimes raw would work, too), and dubbed "fries". Same deal with anything cut into thin slices (e.g. apples, cucumbers, zucchini) and dubbed "chips".
I called frittatas egg pizza for my kids- served with a salad just like regular pizza night....
I know all kids are different but the key really is the 20 times. Be firm- "this is our dinner tonight- you may ask to have me not cook it again but you need to eat it tonight"- allow some concessions like the letting them add extra soy sauce (in the case of my son and the "stir fry incident") or ketchup to dip- and continue to introduce complex flavors....
Now as teenagers, my kids will eat almost anything - not always with out complaint like when I get a hankering for meatloaf- but they politely eat what's on their plate- ditto when my son went to his girlfriend's house for dinner and they dressed the whole salad (he prefers just the greens, no dressing- but he ate it). They love a wide variety of foods, are not afraid to try different things when we're on vacation, and are allowed to request favorites when I plan the menu for the week.
They still may surprise you in later years and tell you that their favorite meal is box mac and cheese+ taco mac but at least you know they'll eat the spicy eggplant lasagna too!
I think my son takes the cake...by 18 months he'd already eaten shrimp, bottarga fish roe, and wild boar!!! ;-) I know I'm blessed to have such a foodie...I just hope his younger sister is just as appreciative of good food as he is!

Developing, Architecting and Testing Web Applications with MVC5, Web API 2, KnockoutJS, Ninject and NUnit
Being a Microsoft software developer is a lot like ordering breakfast at the International House of Pancakes. You get a stack of pancakes with every dish and you must choose from a variety of pancakes and syrup flavors. For web applications, a solution stack is a set of software subsystems or components needed to deliver a fully functional solution, be it a product or a service. To develop a web application for example, the Microsoft developer needs to use and understand the Microsoft Stack of components including the ever emerging set of open source tools, design patterns and 3rd party products. That's a lot of pancakes.

i don't get why people believe feminists hate men
i don't get why a movement that is for women is so misunderstood to the point where it's still about men
I have two schools of thought on this.
On the one hand, I think it's foolish to say that feminists like this don't exist, but it's even more foolish to believe they are anything but a very small minority. I didn't even find a name for this kind of feminism so if it does exist they are so few and far between that they probably aren't even a blip on the radar.
On the other hand, there are a LOT of negative feminist stereotypes in popular media. That probably doesn't help and is probably where this attitude comes from. So many people are afraid to identify as feminist, even though many of their ideologies, thoughts, and feelings absolutely line up with feminist theory, but because of the label popular media has attached to the term they get scared off.
Look at that Shailene Woodley example from a few weeks ago. Her reasoning for not being a feminist directly contradicts the bare bones definition of feminism. "I'm not a feminist because I want equality" is kind of like saying "I'm going to eat this cookie because I hate baked goods." I feel like at least some people have concluded that she isn't so much antifeminist as she is sorely misinformed, but it's still a major actress (I … guess?) putting down a movement she clearly doesn't understand.

VFX Artist. Giant Bomb Moderator. Idiot.
I have been called many things, most of them uncouth, though few undeserved. Here I'm known as Sweep, one of twelve Giant Bomb community moderators. I have a reputation as a blogger here on the site, though I'd be the first to admit I don't deserve it. I probably have several other reputations as well. I'll let you figure those out for yourselves.
Here's a FAQ for you to not read:
What do Moderators actually do?
We police the forums, addressing flagged comments and threads, and remove any hostile or inappropriate behavior from the site. We also review and approve wiki submissions, police the chat during live shows, hunt spambots, and generally just rock around being incredibly awesome. And sexy.
There's a guy being a dick, why haven't you banned him yet?
Contrary to popular belief, the moderators do not possess a collective spidey-sense that goes off whenever someone breaks the rules. If you see someone being a twat, flag their comment or PM a moderator. There's a button you can press to PM all mods at the same time. Go and find it.
It was you. You were the guy being a dick.
Yeah. Irony, right?
Do you get paid?
In smiles and handjobs. No actual money though - all moderators are volunteers, giving up their free time to help out the staff. Some of us even have real jobs, for when we aren't moderating. For example, I'm a VFX artist working on feature films in London. Also I drink a lot.
What's a VFX artist?
In the words of Mattbodega, I "make the graphics". Whenever you see something in a film that doesn't actually exist, we put it there.
What films have you worked on?
Most recently; Sin City 2, Hercules, The Great Gatsby, White House Down, Gravity, Total Recall, Dredd... a bunch of stuff. I can't say much about my current project but I'm pretty excited about it. Stay tuned.
Can I be a moderator?
Do you ever actually play any videogames?
Sometimes, I guess? You can occasionally watch me participate on the Daily Dota, and I'm still completely obsessed with The Last Of Us. You can read all about it over on my blog.
Thanks, Sweep.
You're welcome.

So what did we learn yesterday? We learned that Nick Tepesch is still up and down, because he is young. We learned that the Athletics like to take pitches. We learned that they are still he best team in the West right now.
The Texas Rangers are 3-3 so far on this 9 game road trip, with only 3 games left to go. They need to finish strong by winning the series against the Angels. Some believe that this is a do or die road trip for the Texas Rangers, but I am not one to subscribe to that opinion this early in the season, there is still way too much baseball to be played. However, a 5-4 road trip sounds light years better than a 4-5 road trip.
The Texas Rangers have only played the Angels once so far this season, and they won the series, of course there are a whole lot of different players now then there were then. And the Angels have Josh Hamilton back and Albert Pujols is playing like the old Albert Pujols again. The Rangers will send Joe Saunders, who has been pitching well of late, Nick Martinez, another one of the young guys that are doing well some times and not so well other times, and on Sunday night Baseball they will send Yu Darvish to the hill.
The Texas Rangers have a great opportunity to finish this road trip strong with Saunders and Darvish on the hill for two of the three games, and I believe that Saunders will be highly motivated facing his former team. While it is not the end of the world if the Rangers lose two out of three this weekend, it's not a good thing either. I believe that this young team still has some life left in them, some gas left in the tank if you will, and I am really hoping that they prove that out this weekend.

The other day, I was visiting my good friend Lacy Arnold. She told me several things one should be avoiding if they want to lose fat, plus a secret recipe for minimizing stretch marks and tightening up loose belly skin. I was actually shocked at what she told me. She said, we should share this information with every single mom I knew, or woman for that matter.
Now most of the women want to lose weight it seems, but it's often those last few pounds that hang on like blood-sucking leeches, and refuse to leave. Too bad they're not fat-sucking leeches, lol. Anyways, Lacy told me why this happens and what four things one can do to finally be free of their belly fat for good (no leeches required), plus a little weird trick for tightening up that muffin top.
Stay tuned as I take you through the secret info you would love.

What is chronic liver disease?
Chronic liver disease is the gradual destruction of liver tissue over time. Several liver diseases fall under this category, including cirrhosis of the liver.
What is cirrhosis of the liver?
Because of chronic damage to the liver, scar tissue slowly replaces normal functioning liver tissue, continuously diminishing blood flow through the liver. As the normal liver tissue is lost, various nutrients, hormones, and poisons are not processed effectively by the liver. In addition, protein production and other substances produced by the liver are arrested.
What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?
Symptoms of cirrhosis vary, depending on severity of the condition. Mild cirrhosis may not exhibit any symptoms at all.
The following are some common symptoms of cirrhosis. The symptoms vary by individual:
- abnormal nerve function
- fluid build-up in the abdominal cavity.
- breast enlargement in men
- coughing up or vomiting blood
- curling of fingers
- gallstones
- hair loss
- itching
- jaundice – yellowing of the skin and eyes.
- kidney failure
- liver encephalopathy
- muscle loss
- poor appetite
- portal hypertension
- redness of palms
- salivary gland enlargement in cheeks
- shrinking of testes
- spider-like veins in the skin
- weakness
- weight loss
The symptoms of cirrhosis may imitate the symptoms other medical conditions or problems, so it is best to see a doctor.
What Causes Cirrhosis?
The most common cause of cirrhosis is alcohol abuse. Other causes include:
- hepatitis and other viruses
- use of certain drugs
- chemical exposure
- bile duct obstruction
- autoimmune diseases
- obstruction of outflow of blood from the liver
- heart and blood vessel disturbances
- alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency
- high blood galactose levels
- high blood tyrosine levels at birth
- glycogen storage disease
- cystic fibrosis
- diabetes
- malnutrition
- hereditary accumulation of too much copper or iron

Japan is rich with MMA history, though recent MMA history in the country has been lacking. This is where UFC comes in and attempts to maintain Japan as an MMA country.
Seriously, that really appears to be what's happening.
Now it appears that they are offering something more substantive than their yearly card in the country or their own programming appearing on Japanese television. .
Dave Meltzer is reporting that UFC is partnering up with Vale Tudo Japan, formerly known as Shooto, for a television show built around MMA tournaments.
Shooto was founded in 1985 by Japanese pro wrestling legend Satoru Sayama. It was first called Shooting and is the first MMA promotion in history, both amateur and professional.
Details given by UFC President Dana White on the final leg of his tour of the Far East were the following:
1. The tournaments will use featherweight and bantamweight fighters
2. Each tournament will be contested between eight fighters
3. The tournament is a round-robin style, meaning that all eight fighters will fight the other seven and those with the best win-loss record will win a UFC contract
4. There will be 30 televised episodes of these tournaments with three bouts on each episode and the whole thing will span eight months
The format is nothing new in Japan as sumo tournaments have used this style for decades, as have pro wrestling promotions for their major tournaments in various instances.
However, for those thinking that this show will be The Ultimate Fighter as American viewers know it just with some tweaks to the tournament format, White wants you to stop right there:
"They won't live in a house, and they won't train under guys that we bring in. They will train with their own coaches and do their own thing. People will see they where they train, where they live, and their families. They'll get more in-depth. It'll be a real look at who these guys are. The thing about TUF is you put guys in a pressure cooker, and it's f***ing insane. Well, it wasn't last season, but the other seasons."
White also gave out other details on the show when he said, "This show will be very Japanese. It will be shot here in Japan by a big, reputable company, for the Japanese market, to build Japanese stars."
As for whether or not this show will be airing simultaneously on UFC Fight Pass, White isn't 100% sure one way or the other, saying, "It's still a work in progress. But if I had to give an answer right now, I'd say, yes, it will."

N.A.S.A. - Hide (A.Skillz Remix)
Artist: N.A.S.A.
Featuring: Aynzli Jones
Producer: A.Skillz
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.0 ( 3 votes )
Featured back in late March, Brazilian-American beat duo N.A.S.A.'s latest promo single, Hide, won reader praise for its refreshing new-old school vibe as well as for Aynzli Jones' unique vocal presence. Today, the Booth-approved cut returns in a very different form, courtesy of English EDM producer A. Skillz. While Jones' verses and hook are retained (in tweaked and rearranged form), the dusty, breakbeat-driven groove is replaced with a blistering four-on-the floor rhythm section accompanied by buzzing, syncopated synths. Has Skillz managed to top N.A.S.A.'s original with this dancefloor-scorching remix? As always, y'all get to lay down the final verdict. Whatever your take, though, you can keep your browsers locked to The DJBooth for the latest news and tunes from all involved.

Launch of University of Leeds @ Wakefield
The University of Leeds reinforced its commitment to providing education in Wakefield this Friday with the opening of a dedicated higher education building next to Wakefield College, the 'University of Leeds @ Wakefield'.
Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Learning and Teaching at the University of Leeds, Professor Alan Pearman said: "The opening of our new University of Leeds @ Wakefield premises reflects our commitment to higher education in the city and our wish to continue our close links with Wakefield College, schools and employers, and with Wakefield District Council in helping to support the development of Wakefield."
Wakefield is one of the largest local authorities in the UK without a university; reflected in statistics showing the district having the lowest progression to HE in West Yorkshire at 21 per cent, despite achieving the second highest GCSE results. The University of Leeds' move from the Manygates campus to its new premises highlights its commitment to helping address such concerns.
The University of Leeds will deliver courses through our new lifelong learning centre (LLC) and the school of healthcare. The LLC's provision will include foundation degrees in family support and in professional studies in teaching and learning together with a supportive evening and weekend programme for people in higher education wanting to develop their academic skills.
For those wondering if university is for them, the centre's new open study programme offers a chance to gain a taste of university through taking modules that can later count towards a degree programme. Programmes offered by the healthcare include a BA (Hons) in social work, a BA (Hons) in applied social studies, and a graduate diploma in counselling, one of several counselling programmes delivered in Wakefield and Leeds. In total over 300 student places will be offered from the Wakefield premises. University of Leeds @ Wakefield will be open 8.30-20.50 Monday to Thursday, 8.30 -17.00 on Friday and 9.30-13.00 on Saturday.
All of the LLC's programmes can be studied on a part time basis and offer either reduced rates or generous bursaries, depending upon the programme. Through developing academic skills through the Preparation for Higher Education programme at Wakefield students can then progress to full undergraduate degrees at Leeds or to foundation degrees at Wakefield.
LLC director Dr Stella Cottrell said: "We're providing an essential opportunity for people in Wakefield to study at university 'on their door step'. We've a state of the art facility located in the centre of Wakefield to deliver programmes for adult learners."
Paul Marshall, Director of Learning and Teaching in the School of Healthcare
"The transfer of Social Work and Counselling programmes into the School has greatly enhanced our health and social care provision. The University's investment in the new educational facilities at Wakefield has ensured that the strong local link with Wakefield continues and provides students with a high quality learning environment."
The launch on Friday 3 March complements and builds upon the broader Wakefield Learning and Regeneration programme which firmly places education at the centre of its plans.
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Leeds will open proceedings at 11am and the Mayor of Wakefield will make a key note address.
Notes for editors:
1. All photographers and media are welcome to attend the event.
2. For more information contact deputy head of city and regional office Gregory Miller on 0113 343 1058.

Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.

|Student Representatives
|Eligibility and Member Selection
|Entity Description
Two students will be selected by the dean to sit on the Admissions Committee.
Candidates to become members of the Admissions Committee must be fourth year medical students in good standing. The most highly regarded candidates are passionate about Indiana University School of Medicine, intend to remain in Indianapolis for the majority of their fourth year rotations, will miss very few Admissions Committee meetings, and demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the many facets of the medical school in regards to its curriculum, culture and vision.
Four recommendations are written by the student interview steering committee during Interview Day. These recommendations are presented to the President and Vice President of the Medical Student Council and to the Executive Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Professional Development.
The Executive Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Professional Development solicits input on the candidacy of the four recommended students from the Chair of the Admissions Committee, currently the Executive Associate Dean for Educational Affairs.
In order to provide feedback, the Chair of the Admissions Committee conducts a second round of interviews on the four candidates and, along with the Executive Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs and Professional Development, makes the final decision on the selection of two students to sit on the Admissions Committee.

Ryan Blaney claimed his third-career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win on Sunday in the Chevrolet Silverado 250 at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada, beating German Quiroga by 0.49 seconds. Quiroga was able to pull up beside Blaney a few times in the closing laps and took a brief lead on the last lap, but Blaney was able to recover to retake the lead just in time to take the win.
"The final seven laps were nerve-wracking," Blaney said.
It was Blaney's first win of the season and the first of his career at a road course.
"It's so cool, because it's so unique," Blaney said of winning on a road course. "It's such a unique place."
Erik Jones finished third.
"We all wish we could be doing burnouts on the front stretch, but you can't win them all," Jones said.
While the rest of the race field utilized a two-stop pit strategy, Blaney and his team were on a one stop plan that they stuck to through the two cautions that came late in the race.
When the first caution of the race finally came out on lap 46, the field bunched up behind Blaney after the second and final round of pit stops was completed, negating the advantage of the single-stop strategy.
After most of the field cycled through initial pit stops by lap 17, Blaney took the lead. He gave up the top spot to head down pit road for the first time on lap 30, handing the lead over to Quiroga.
Cole Custer took the lead on lap 33, but then gave up the top spot soon after to make his second and final pit stop of the race. Eventually, everyone else but Blaney pitted again, and with 20 laps to go, Blaney was cycled back to the lead.
The only two restarts of the race came with 13 and eight laps remaining. Both times, Quiroga lined up next to Blaney on the front row, and each time, Blaney was able to get out front.
Quiroga was able to pull up beside Blaney a few times in the final laps and took the lead for a brief moment on the last lap, but Blaney was able to recover to beat him to the checkered flag.
"I knew he had less fuel and older tires. I was trying hard to make him make a mistake," Quiroga said. "He just got a really good run off of turn nine."
Gray Gaulding finished fourth, Andrew Ranger was fifth, Matt Crafton sixth, Brennan Newberry seventh, Johnny Sauter eighth, Custer ninth, and Timothy Peters rounded out the top-10.

"I ordered Picture in a Portrait Christmas cards several times before and even after Christmas. Instead of making it our Christmas cards, I made them with photos I have taken through out the year as a nature photographer. Then I broke them down into bundles of 6, inserted them, with their envelopes, and gave them as gifts or with gifts. My most recent order was a photo of 2 Canada Geese standing in the bend of a dirt road. I ordered 10 of them and gave the whole group to my husband who often sends notes to people in the church to encourage them, to congratulate them, or just to maintain contact. Shutterfly makes it easy to turn my photos into quality note cards. (Note: rather than send Christmas cards, I make a donation from our family to a charity.) I love Shutterfly's products as they are the best quality products on the web."
"I have made and ordered tons of stuff from shutterfly and always been more than pleased with the results! All of my Christmas and greeting cards are personalized this way. I recommend shutterfly to all my family and friends and offer to get them started and show them how to make cards and photo books. I love your products and service. I probably need to go to SFA (shutterfly anonymous) meetings. I make a personalized calendar every year, for me and others. I make a photo book after every cruise or vacation. I make 100 page family photo books for all my family members every single year, and will as long as you guys are in business. And I make lots of greeting cards, labels and unique photo gifts, as well. Actually, you should probably hire me to be your PR representative!!! Keep up the good work. Oh, and I have also experienced you standing behind your work and replacing a photo book that had unexplained markings on a number of pages. Thanks for that!"
"Great customer service, and there prices are very competitive."
"Great overall quality card! Template was easy to use and I really liked the font choices. I will definitely purchase this card again."
"10 years ago the women in my family would quietly turn over a card after receiving and reading the contents, to note the printer mark. The sender may not have the funds to purchase a gift but it was always important to send a good quality card. Like the commercial said "you care enough to send the very best". I find that shutterfly has now taken over that particular market. I have tried other on line & local card printers but always come back to shutterfly. I may pay a little more or I may have to wait for a good sale but the "shutterfly" insignia on the back of my card says I cared enough to design my own card and to send the very best. I have been with your company for many years, you have most of my photos on file, and I find your sight easy to operate. But mostly I appreciate the hidden message, "you are very important to me""

I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; he does not get his living honestly; you may have seen him perched on some dead tree, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the labor of the fishing hawk—and when that diligent bird has at length taken a fish and is bearing it to his nest for the support of his mate and young ones, the bald eagle pursues him and takes it from him. With all this injustice he is never in good case, but like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor and often very lousy. Besides, he is a rank coward; the little kingbird, not bigger than a sparrow, attacks him boldly and drives him out of the district. He is therefore by no means a proper emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America.

Darnell Named Scholar-Athlete
ST. LOUIS -- Sadie Darnell of Southern Illinois University Carbondale has been selected Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week, Commissioner Doug Elgin announced today. Darnell was honored for her performance during the period of May 12-18.
Junior Sadie Darnell not only earned her second-consecutive All-MVC honor in the outdoor 5000 meter run this past weekend at the MVC Outdoor Championships, but she was also awarded her second straight MVC Elite 18 Award for her performance in the event and her work in the classroom (4.0 GPA, elementary education). Darnell finished third at a new personal-best time of 16:47.41, now the second-best time in SIU history. Since the award was first instituted in 2010-11, only two people have ever repeated as Elite 18 recipients in track: Darnell and former Saluki Lucas Cherry.
To qualify for Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week laurels, student-athletes must carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20, completed at least one academic year at a Valley institution and must be at least a sophomore in academic standing.
Redshirt freshmen and first-year junior college transfers are not eligible. In addition to the academic qualifications, student-athletes will be evaluated on their athletic performance for a one-week period.
