A very sweet and kind, goofy type of girl. Doesn't let anybody get to her. Doesn't let what anybody has to say to get her either and knows how to get a crowd to laugh.
Kaomi is such a sweet girl.

We LOVE the Aloft!! We stay there whenever possible. We are season ticket holders for FSU football and spend many weekends in the fall. We were just there for the FSU spring game weekend. The think I love most is that they are TRULY dog friendly. They do not charge a penny extra for dogs. You would only have to pay for any damage your dog(s) do, which in our case is none. Other hotels charge extra per night or charge an non-refundable "cleaning" charge. They say that they do extra cleaning after a dog has been in the room. I prefer to stay somewhere that they do extra cleaning in all rooms. My dogs are clean and do not make any extra messes. We also love the Bliss products. Shower gel and shampoo are already in the shower for you. Staff is so friendly and professional. Beautiful pool area. It is in walking distance to the downtown area. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Feb 27, 2013Rather than judge a book by its publisher, pick this up today: it'll be a delight for your left and right brain alike.
Mar 19, 2013It's not very original, but it's addictive and accessible, two good reasons to give it a try.
Feb 21, 2013The puzzle genre is filled with games like Cyto but I think there is enough amoeba fun to be had that makes this game worth the small investment.
Mar 6, 2013If you like Cut the Rope and other physics puzzles, you'll enjoy helping Cyto search for his missing memories.
Feb 26, 2013If you enjoy your physics flingers, Cyto is certainly another one.
Feb 25, 2013The world of Cyto is colorful, crisp and set against the backdrop of an atmospheric soundtrack. While the art and music are unique and pleasant, they feel reminiscent of games like Contre Jour or many other indie platformers.
Feb 26, 2013Cyto is ultimately yet another physics puzzler for iOS, though inarguably a highly polished one, with puzzles that offer some fun, but feel more like going through the motions.

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop and demonstrate a broad-application prototype Artificial Accessory Cell that can be used as a supplement and/or replacement for cytokines for the directed differentiation of stem cells into desired lineages. While the technology is applicable to all types of stem cells for which some information on its biological niche is available, the initial technology demonstration and suite of products will be focused on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) because of the extensive knowledge and range of cytokines available for this well-studied system. Immobilization of biologically active factors is essential to achieving the goal of efficiently directing stem cells along desired pathways for therapeutic aims. In vivo, many important cytokines are presented in membrane-bound, or extra-cellular matrix (ECM)- bound forms[1]. Presentation in this format often induces a unique biological response on the effectors cell thatcannot be duplicated using soluble forms of the molecule. In addition, this strategy may be effective for limiting the quantity of expensive signaling molecules necessary for large-scale production of differentiated cells, such as the production of red blood cells for transfusion in an ex vivo format. While other investigators have developed much alternative chemistry for the covalent binding of cytokines to various types of substrates, the focus of this project is to develop and validate a stable, consistent, and commercializable microsphere-based system that can be applied as easily as soluble cytokines. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop and demonstrate the use of Artificial Accessory Cells(AACs) to help guide and control the differentiation of stem cells for therapeutic applications. In order to effectively scale-up and reduce the costs of bringing stem cell therapies to the clinic, more efficient means of providing the growth factors needed to guide stem cells are needed. Use of the proposed AACs has the potential to increase the efficacy and stability of these factors while reducing the costs for large-scale stem cell differentiation.

there are many options to play on Travian, I like defensive, I believe defensive strategy cost less and is more effective in End Game Era, but I wonder how is the step by step manual?
It depends of really many factors. Every tribe have good things and weaknesses. If you choose Guals:
Since you can train defence in all villages, just making new villages and train defence.
After some time, and you have good number of defence, you can start upgrading your troops. Troops defence will be upgraded no meter when they was trained, so after some time you will be an advantage because you have higher number of updated troops.

Released: Mar 01st, 2007
Running Time: 83
Director: Jim Powers
Company: JM Productions
Cast: Richelle Ryan, Alexa Von Tess, Alicia Angel, Gia Paloma, Kimberly Kane, Sierra Sinn, Ashley Blue
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
It's a safe bet that C.J. Parker and the rest of the Baywatch girls never trained quite like this. This edition of the popular all-girl series has Ashley Blue and her cohorts donning those same awful red one-piece Baywatch swimsuits and hitting the sand to save lives. However, it seems some are more dedicated than others, and soon the violation commences, resulting in the usual tricks viewers of the series have come to adore.
Kimberly Kane is head lifeguard and hearing her wax poetic about loving sand in her pussy is laugh-out-loud funny. She eventually warms the production up with Alexa Von Tess in a somewhat passionate pairing. The rest of the release features tough Alicia Angel being taught a lesson for slacking. That lesson includes having all of her major orifices stretched by dildos that are all the size of Blue's arms, while also being physically and verbally abused. The end result is one hardcore, but relatively entertaining violation.
Retailing: Vicious girl/girl stuff for raincoaters.

Kia's Rio 5-Door: A First Look
The subcompact market is heating up as people worry about rising fuel prices and seek vehicles with higher fuel economy. Car makers including Ford and General Motors have rolled out new designs recently and today Kia Motors Corp. revealed the first official photos of its next-generation Rio.
The new car, which the company plans to unveil at next month's Geneva Motor Show, has a family resemblance to the Optima sedan and other recent Kia models that reflect the company's new styling direction.
The coming Rio will be available around the world in 3-, 4- and 5-door versions, depending on the market. It will come with a range of six engines from a 1.1-liter, 70-horsepower diesel in Europe to a 1.6-liter gasoline engine putting out 140 horsepower for the North American market.
Like other contemporary or coming subcompacts including the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic and Honda Fit, the Rio is designed to attract customers with its styling and overall visual appeal.
"This new model is a big step forward. The Rio has always been successful, and with this new incarnation we have a car which is extremely attractive, that people will want to buy for its looks," says Soon-Nam Lee, Kia's director of overseas marketing. Kia says it has sold more than 860,000 Rios globally since its launch in 2005.

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson is at a crossroads in his life: Macaroni and cheese or Kix for dinner?
The Charge
Sometimes having faith means letting go.
The Case
Here's Peter (Jacob Pitts), a Jesuit priest-in-training who's—you guess it—at a crossroads in life. Toiling away at the seminary, bitter, sarcastic, and borderline depressed, he's concluded the priesthood may not be for him. When dispatched to Alabama to help with a Jesuit soup kitchen, he thinks life can't get any more confusing. His initial desire to become a priest has waned to the point of non-existence and on top of that a beautiful girl named Jill (Amy Acker, Angel) has caught his eye. The two eventually hit it off and those life decisions become that much harder.
It was an uphill battle, but Crossroads eventually won me over. At first, I wasn't having anything to do with Peter. The guy was a tool, unlikable, flaky, and mean. Whatever wondrous character arc writer/director Murray Robinson had mapped out for him, I was disinterested. It's a testament to the acting and, yes, the writing, that I ended up empathizing with the guy, even though he strikes me as the last guy I'd want as a priest.
Peter's growth chart is what powers the film and Jacob Pitts does a fine job taking us on that trajectory. The very fact he's able to usher this one-time jackass from the bowels of audience loathing into a guy I was actively rooting for is noteworthy. Pitts is able to effectively mix angst and restlessness with a genuinely sympathetic nature (eventually), and the result is a complex, interesting construct. Backing him up is Alan Arkin, excellent as Peter's overseer, and the lovely Amy Acker, whose Jill mirrors Peter's big fat question mark of a life. She is also adrift, but their bond becomes both an anchor and a compass point for the two. The endgame is suitably ambiguous, but positive nevertheless.
Crossroads is a small, well-done character piece that accomplishes everything it set outs to. It gives us a compelling character grappling with many issues, places him in a new situation, pairs him with another interesting character who acts as a counterweight, and lets the relationship develop in a realistic and sometimes provocative way. Just a nice little movie all around.
Unfortunately, the DVD is threadbare. The film looks good in its 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and though the 5.1 surround doesn't have much to do (except when it pushes the oddly out-of-place soundtrack), it's clean and clear. No extras is a bummer.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Crossroads a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Australian sport is in turmoil after reports of widespread
drug use and links to organised crime, but Drug Free Sport
New Zealand says the problem has not necessarily crossed the
A 12-month Australian Crime Commission (ACC) investigation
into the integrity of professional sport culminated today
with the release of a damning report, the implications of
which certainly stretch to Kiwi athletes.
With several New Zealand teams participating in trans-Tasman
competitions and a number of Kiwis on the books of Australian
clubs, local links are easy to find.
The NRL and A-League, in which the New Zealand Warriors and
Wellington Phoenix respectively compete, were among the codes
embroiled in what has been dubbed the darkest day in
Australian sport.
And with the ties between the two countries' athletes
stretching beyond the involvement of those teams, it would be
naive to suggest performance enhancing drugs are prevalent in
Australia but are yet to provide problems on this side of the
Drug Free Sport NZ chief executive Graeme Steel said the
organisation was very concerned about the findings emerging
from Australia, but he was wary of labelling Kiwi athletes as
guilty by association.
"It's not natural to think that but, at the same time, we
can't dismiss that possibility and we'll need to consider
what we need to do to investigate it," he said.
Mr Steel said he had not heard of any suggestion New Zealand
clubs in trans-Tasman competitions were being specifically
targeted, but he called it "a space we need to watch".
Of more immediate concern could be the fate of the Kiwi
contingent at the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.
National representatives Kieran Foran and Steve Matai are
among the New Zealanders plying their trade at the rugby
league club, which is currently being audited by an
accounting firm instructed by the NRL to investigate their
records of supplement purchases.
Players at Manly were provided supplements by Stephen Drank
between 2006 and 2010, a sports scientist sacked by Aussie
Rules side Essendon and currently under investigation by the
ACC. The club, whose chief executive Ian Robson was formerly
the Warriors' boss, earlier this week announced they had
volunteered doping records to the Australian Sport
Anti-Doping Agency.
The substance at the centre of the Essendon scandal was
peptides, a chain of amino acids which can signal the brain
to release human growth hormone.
Mr Steel was reluctant to discuss whether peptides were an
issue in New Zealand, while no one from Sport New Zealand was
available to comment until they had read the full ACC report,
which is available online.
Today's news comes hot on the heels of Lance Armstrong's
wide-ranging confession, testimony in a Spanish doping trial
casting aspersions on footballers and tennis players, and
continual doping infringements in American sport.
Rather than being a negative, though, Mr Steel said these
repeated blows to sport's credibility were a sign anti-doping
authorities were slowly winning the war on performance
enhancing drugs.
"I think this is evidence at what previously may have been
undiscovered is now being discovered.
"We've had numerous examples in recent times of things which
previously would have just flown under the radar with just a
straight testing programme, but evidence is emerging from
other sources of doping.
"So I think this is evidence that we're getting closer to
getting on top of it."

Moody's Shares Jump 8.6% After It Raises 2010 Profit Forecast
Moody's Corp., whose founder John Moody created credit ratings more than a century ago, gained the most in more than a year after boosting its forecast for 2010 earnings for the second time in three months.
Moody's expects full-year earnings per share to range from $2.08 to $2.14, compared with a previous forecast of $1.90 to $1.96, the New York-based company said today in a statement. It raised its guidance previously on Oct. 28 after reporting a 35 percent jump in third-quarter earnings. Five analysts surveyed by Bloomberg estimated profit of $1.93 per share.
The company has withstood legal challenges and political pressure after the credit-rating industry was blamed for helping fuel the financial crisis after it assigned top marks to U.S. subprime-mortgage bonds just before that market collapsed in 2007. The U.S. financial-regulation overhaul enacted in July eliminated credit-rating companies' shield from lawsuits when underwriters include their assessments in documents used to sell debt.
"As the economy recovers and credit access improves, bond issuance should improve," Edward Atorino, an analyst at Benchmark Co. in New York, said in a Dec. 29 note to clients that named Moody's shares among the firm's "Best Ideas for 2011." With more than an estimated $2 trillion in corporate debt to be refinanced from 2011 to 2014, "increased issuance should drive revenue," he said.
Litigation risk against Moody's "appears low," Atorino said in the note.
Earnings of $2.14 a share in 2010 would come close to Moody's best year, 2007, when profits reached an all-time high of $2.50 per share. The company earned $2.25 a share in 2006, according to Bloomberg data.
Stock Surges
Moody's surged $2.35, or 8.6 percent, to $29.67 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. That's the biggest jump since Sept. 29, 2009, when it gained 10.9 percent, according to Bloomberg data.
Sales of high-yield, high-risk debt in the U.S. rose 55 percent to $88.6 billion in the fourth quarter compared with the year-earlier period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The updated guidance is driven by a higher revenue forecast associated with robust fourth-quarter bond market issuance benefiting Moody's Investors Service," the company said in the statement.
Ratings by Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings Ltd. are protected speech, a California judge said in a tentative ruling last month in a $1 billion lawsuit by California Public Employees' Retirement System against the companies.
A revival in the debt markets may help Moody's offset higher regulatory costs after the Dodd-Frank Act overhauled financial markets last year.
Raising Prices
The company is also raising its prices. The firm plans to charge about 5 percent more to rate debt, according to Peter Appert, an analyst at Piper Jaffray & Co. Appert made the comments in September after meeting with Chief Executive Officer Raymond McDaniel and Chief Financial Officer Linda Huber.
Moody's said 2010 revenue rose about 13 percent from 2009, compared with a previous forecast of "high-single to low-double-digit" percent growth. It reports full fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 3.
Moody's also increased its forecast after completing software projects ahead of schedule at its analytics unit and following a drop in its effective tax rate.
Corporate bond issuance fell to $695 billion globally in the fourth quarter, down 11 percent from a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Approaches to Teaching Ibsen's A Doll House
- Editor: Yvonne Shafer
- Pages: xv & 139 pp.
- Published: 1985
- ISBN: 9780873524872 (Cloth)
- ISBN: 9780873524889 (Paperback)
"Today the lively state of Ibsen production, the critical reappraisals of his work, and the availability of modern, colloquial translations afford us an unprecedented opportunity to study and appreciate Ibsen's A Doll House both on the stage and in print. The challenge for the instructor teaching the play is to bring the literary and theatrical dimensions together."
Since its publication over a century ago, A Doll House has often been narrowly read as a single-thesis play—as a commentary on women's rights. Recent scholarship and criticism, however, suggest multiple interpretations of Ibsen's most famous work; teachers of A Doll House can profit from these new perspectives and lead their students to an appreciation of many different aspects of the play.
The volume, like others in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, is divided into two parts. The first part, "Materials," analyzes the faults and merits of the many available translations of A Doll House and recommends background materials and supplemental readings for both teachers and students. The second part, "Approaches," samples many ways to teach the play in the classroom. The first three essays show how to incorporate the play into introductory courses on literature and composition; the following four essays focus on teaching the play in more advanced classes on dramatic literature. The remaining seven essays present specific strategies, such as using feminist approaches, examining performances of the play, and comparing A Doll House to Ibsen's other plays in a graduate seminar.

Fred Taylor and the Jacksonville Jaguars were always like that old married couple that everyone knows. They weather the highs, manage to get through the lows and always wake up beside each other ready to go through it all over again.
There's just always an end somewhere, and Monday was Taylor's.
As for nostalgia, Fred Taylor should have retired a Jaguar. But from the reality of the business side, it just couldn't happen.
Investing $6 million in a 33-year-old running back when there are cheaper and better options is a no-brainer. Taylor was just a victim to age catching up with him, and new star Maurice Jones-Drew ready to ascend to the top role.
It's just not always as easy as it seems, though. This isn't cutting loose Jerry Porter or Drayton Florence, one-year busts in Jacksonville. This is Disney World waving goodbye to Mickey.
For as much as people -- myself included -- have chided Taylor for being too injury-prone, he's the guy Jaguars fans think about first when it comes to the team. Taylor is a link to the old-school Jaguar teams. A Tom Coughlin guy. He's not just a player. He's the player whom fans identified with.
And how can you not?
He spent his entire 11-year career with the same team. Taylor was never a locker room nuisance, stayed out of trouble and played some pretty good football, too.
Right now, he's the Jaguars' most legitimate threat to make the NFL Hall of Fame.
Always one of the good guys in the NFL, Taylor was honest to the point of coming off as too forthcoming. With so many recycled quotes nowadays, Taylor was genuine, and you felt that about him.
When Taylor opened up, he opened up. It's why fans and the media respected the guy so much.
One of my first talks with Taylor came in 1999. I was doing a story on his half-brother, Darnelius Jones, a football player for Belle Glade Glades Central High School. Taylor pulled up a chair, invited me to sit down and started talking about everything -- and I mean everything.
Memories from high school football and the University of Florida. Former teammates. Family. Even the shoes he'd buy for his siblings. All of it delivered in the same, unchanging tone of voice.
As humanizing as Taylor made things seem in conversation, he played perhaps the quietest career at the running back position of any of the greats.
Taylor's 11,271 yards rank 16th in league history, in front of guys like O.J. Simpson, Warrick Dunn and Eddie George. But you would've never known unless you lived in Jacksonville, which is cemented by the fact that Taylor made just one Pro Bowl in more than a decade of playing.
For the Jaguars, who have been about as delicate as sandpaper when it's come to matters like this, it's finally a reprieve in the public relations department.
While Taylor's exit may be the most difficult the team has ever had to face, the Jaguars handled it better than I would've expected them to.
Coach Jack Del Rio personally went to visit Taylor to give him the news. Maybe this is the new start that the Jaguars have been preaching.
The business side of the NFL is always the hardest part to negotiate, although the Jaguars have usually found a way to scuff the memories of their best.
With four cornerstones of the franchise since 1995 -- Mark Brunell, Tony Boselli, Jimmy Smith and Taylor -- the Jaguars have often found ways to kick their stars in the teeth on the way out.
Boselli wound up purged to the Houston Texans in the 2002 expansion draft, a victim of salary cap mismanagement. Then came the Brunell situation, botched almost from the day Del Rio arrived.
Give the Jaguars some credit.
They're starting over and moving on to the new era. It's just going to look a whole lot different without one of the guys who got them there.

NH man charged with attempted assault at motelStaff Report | January 05,2013ROCKINGHAM A 55-year-old New Hampshire man was arrested Friday in Claremont, N.H., on a Vermont warrant stemming from an incident at a Rockingham motel last month.
Vermont State Police said John Cotter of Charlestown, N.H., was arrested in connection with the Dec. 22 incident at the Rodeway Inn in Rockingham. Police said Cotter, armed with a large pipe, attempted to kick down the door of a motel room occupied by two people, ages 30 and 28, and their three young children, a 6-month-old, a 1-year-old and a 6-year-old.
Police said surveillance video showed a man, quickly identified as Cotter, armed with the pipe. Another man was with him and efforts are still under way to identify him.
Police said Cotter will face charges of attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling, unlawful mischief and numerous counts of simple assault.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

I love the way it flows...
It's not as heavy as a final boss, but it still evokes the feeling of a powerful opponent, just like it should. Would have liked to hear some kind of rock chords (8-bit guitar?) in it, maybe for added pressure, but it's still excellent without.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- A bunch of freshmen grew up in a hurry Wednesday night in a November game that lived up to the hype.
Sophomore Tyler Hansbrough, a veteran in a game that had eight freshmen make major contributions for both teams, dominated down low in the second half to lead North Carolina (No. 6 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) to a 98-89 victory over Ohio State (No. 1, No. 3).
It could have been very different if 7-foot Greg Oden, a freshman considered the equal of college big men such as Patrick Ewing, Ralph Sampson and Alonzo Mourning, had been able to play instead of sitting on the Ohio State bench in street clothes with a towel around his neck.
But that's an argument for another day.
"It was a heck of a college basketball game," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. "Even as a coach, you sit there and marvel at the level that kids are playing at offensively."
The defense was pretty impressive in the second half for North Carolina as it was finally able to slow down Ohio State's incredible shooting from 3-point range.
"We definitely won this game on defense," Hansbrough said. "Coach really adjusted in the halftime, and we came out really aggressive, and tried to step it up, and I think it flowed into our offense."
Hansbrough started and ended North Carolina's game-breaking 17-2 run in the second half.
The 6-foot-9 forward was the key inside for the Tar Heels (5-1) against the Buckeyes (6-1), who were playing outside the Columbus city limits for the first time this season.
Hansbrough finished with 21 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, and freshman Wayne Ellington added 19 for North Carolina, which trailed by 10 points in the first half and was down 68-63 with 10:50 to play in the game.
"It wasn't anything I did in particular," Hansbrough said of his second-half offense. "I was still playing. Movement, a little more. I moved myself without the ball and got open looks."
Ron Lewis had 30 points for Ohio State, which finished 13-for-26 from 3-point range after hitting 12 of its first 19 shots from beyond the arc.
"I guess it was just our adrenalin. That's what we're known for is hitting 3s," Lewis said. "We came out and played a great game, but they got it done in the end."
North Carolina started three freshmen and played five in the game, while Ohio State had two on the floor at the beginning and had one more among its eight available players.
Oden, the 7-0 defensive specialist, was reduced to a cheerleading role as he continues to recover from offseason surgery on his right wrist. He is expected back by Jan. 1, but the Buckeyes could have used him against North Carolina.
"I think this was a very good test for our guys," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. `I think we learned a lot about our guys through the first six games and I think we can come from here and say `These are the areas we have to get better at, defensive transition and rebounding.' The encouraging thing for us is that we're waiting on Greg, and where they got us tonight is some areas where he's going to help us a lot."
Williams agreed.
"They have got a big-time team and when Greg Oden gets back and playing for them, they are going to be a heck of a team," he said.
The ACC had already clinched the 11-game challenge series for the eighth time in as many meetings earlier Wednesday night, but the Tar Heels put a nice cap on the event for their conference.
Ty Lawson had 13 points for North Carolina, while fellow freshman Brandan Wright added 11.
Lawson said he knew most of the Ohio State freshmen from the high school all-star circuit.
"It was friendship off the court and all business on it," he said.
Ivan Harris had 17 points for Ohio State and freshman Daequan Cook added 14.
North Carolina overcame a 48-44 halftime deficit by scoring the first nine points of the second half in a 12-2 run. The sellout crowd of 21,750 at the Smith Center sensed the Tar Heels were in control, but Ohio State had other ideas and they again involved 3-pointers.
Harris hit three straight 3s for Ohio State to give the Buckeyes a 64-58 lead with 12:43 to play. For a team that entered the game shooting 42 percent from behind the arc and averaging 10 3s per game, Ohio State was on a long-range roll, but it was about to end. The Buckeyes made just one more 3 the rest of the way.
A tip-in by Cook gave Ohio State a 68-63 lead with 10:52 left.
That's when Hansbrough started to dominate down low.
His basket started the run and then he followed a reverse layup by Lawson with a three-point play to give the Tar Heels the lead for good at 70-68 with 8:28 to go. Rayshawn Terry hit a 3 to end North Carolina's run of 12 straight points. After a jumper by Harris, Ellington hit a 3 and Hansbrough followed with another basket in the paint to make it 80-70 with 6:33 to play.
Ohio State led 35-25 with 7:10 left in the first half on a drive by Lewis. Sophomore reserves Marcus Ginyard and Bobby Frasor led the Tar Heels on a 12-5 run to get them within 40-38 with 4:21 left on a dunk by Hansbrough after Frasor, who had hit consecutive 3s, tapped a loose ball while on the floor to Danny Green who fed Hansbrough ahead of the field for the breakaway slam.
David Lighty then hit the Buckeyes' seventh 3 in 11 attempts -- at the time they were 9-of-18 from inside the arc -- to restore the lead to five.
Ohio State finished the half 8-for-13 on 3s.

Coalition Urges New Hampshire Lawmakers To Focus On Jobs, Not Marriage Repeal
Standing Up for New Hampshire Families — a coalition of New Hampshire residents and business leaders — held a press conference today urging state lawmakers to abandon efforts to repeal the state's same-sex marriage law and focus on jobs. On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to approve a measure that would eliminate the law and enact civil unions. The full House is expected to take-up the issue in January.
Watch it:
The two separate bills would preserve existing same-sex marriages but replace the law with civil unions for unmarried adults, including relatives. Anyone would be able to discriminate against such couples "in employment, housing and public accommodations based on religious or moral beliefs." A WMUR Granite State Poll from Oct. 14 found that voters want to keep marriage equality by a two to one margin.

Perdue, defense firms warn of $1 trillion in cuts
Published: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 7:38 a.m.
CARY, N.C. (AP) — The building drumbeat of companies seeking to protect their Pentagon revenues is building at a North Carolina event opposing more than $1 trillion in budget cuts slashing both domestic and defense programs.
Aerospace and defense industry executives are meeting in Cary on Wednesday to draw attention to the cuts looming at the end of the year unless Congress acts. Gov. Beverly Perdue adds that the cuts also are poised to harm schools and other domestic priorities.
A U.S. Senate committee report says North Carolina will lose health screenings, education, senior nutrition, veteran's services and employment help worth more than $100 million.
The $1 trillion in automatic cuts to domestic and military programs over a decade were agreed to last summer by congressional Republican leaders and President Barack Obama.

Trayvon Thomas
Click for larger image
Class of 2015 RB Trayvon Thomas (5-9 198) of Darlington will attend a camp at USC later this month. He is showing a lot of interest in the Gamecocks. "They run a similar offense as we do at Darlington," said Thomas. "They always have a powerhouse running game." Thomas attended a camp at NC State earlier this summer and enjoyed his visit. "I got a chance to talk to their running back coach and their head coach," he said. "They have really nice facilities and I like what they're doing with the program." Thomas has not heard much from any schools but believes that will change. "I got hurt as a sophomore so I only played in three games," he said. He wants to attend a camp at Georgia next summer and is high on the Bulldogs. He did not express much interest in Clemson. "I really didn't grow up a fan of theirs," said Thomas.Tweet

starbucks is stoked.
Can someone please make this a day so I can go home and weed my garden instead of sitting here pretending to work?
Carollani, from what i've seen in people's gardens...they should probably be proud they have at least grown weeds.
At least my mother should. That crusty garden was hanus.
Maybe one day we can be like Conventia, the convention hall planet from Invader Zim.
"Be sure to visit the gift shop for all kinds of cheap, useless stuff!"
Very few of these "cities" are places where a Starbucks is likely to be found. No electricity, for one thing. The bulk of the "cities" in question are vast shanty-towns with up to ten or twenty million people living in cardboard hovels surrounded by open sewers and whatnot.

And, sadly, some 60 percent of our electoral college.

Diabetes Health Center
Type 1 Diabetes - What Happens
It's not possible for injected insulin to work as well as a normal pancreas, so you will have high and low blood sugar levels from time to time.
If your blood sugar stays above your target range for a long time, it can damage many parts of your body .
High blood sugar levels can lead to vision loss and blindness (diabetic retinopathy).
To learn more, see the topic Diabetic Retinopathy.
Having diabetes also puts you at risk for cataracts or glaucoma.
Feet and skin
You may have less feeling in your feet, which means that you can injure your feet and not know it. Common infections from blisters, ingrown toenails, small cuts, or other problems can quickly become more serious when you have diabetes.
If you get serious infections or bone and joint deformities, you may need surgery (even amputation) to treat those problems.

Heart and blood vessels
High blood sugar damages the lining of large blood vessels. This can lead to stroke, heart attack, or peripheral arterial disease.
- Stroke
- Heart Attack and Unstable Angina
- Peripheral Arterial Disease
High blood sugar levels can damage nerves throughout your body. This damage is called diabetic neuropathy. There are three kinds of diabetic neuropathy:
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathyDiabetic peripheral neuropathy. This is damage to the nerves that sense pain, touch, hot, and cold. This type of nerve damage can lead to deformities such as Charcot foot . It can also lead to other problems that may require amputation.
- Autonomic neuropathyAutonomic neuropathy. This is damage to nerves that control things like your heartbeat, blood pressure, sweating, digestion, urination, and sexual function.
- Focal neuropathyFocal neuropathy. Most of the time, this affects just one nerve, usually in the wrist, thigh, or foot. It may also affect the nerves of your back and chest and those that control your eye muscles.
To learn more, see the topic Diabetic Neuropathy.
The kidneys have many tiny blood vessels that filter waste from your blood. High blood sugar can destroy these blood vessels. You won't have any symptoms of kidney damage until the problem is severe. Then you may notice swelling in your feet or legs or all over your body.

U.S. President Barack Obama is set to honor scientific achievements of students Monday as part of a push to strengthen science education in American schools.Mr. Obama will host the White House Science Fair, celebrating students who have won competitions in science, technology, engineering and math.The projects to be presented at the event include a model solar car, a water purifier for rural communities and a toilet designed to conserve water.The president said last year that students should be recognized for science achievements in the same way the White House has historically honored American sports teams.Professional and collegiate athletic champions are routinely invited to the White House for ceremonies celebrating their wins.Mr. Obama has made science, technology, engineering, and math priorities in his education platform.That push includes a $4 billion program to encourage states to improve those subjects, as well as increase participation among women and minorities.Mr. Obama is also expected to announce he will appear on an upcoming episode of the popular Discovery Channel show MythBusters. The show uses scientific methods to test urban legends.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. As it's now December, I will be examining the LAST pages of random comics, so watch out for SPOILERS! Today's page is from Uncanny X-Man #213, which was published by Marvel and is cover dated January 1987. Enjoy!
Betsy Braddock is one of my favorite comic book characters, and so this issue, where she joins the X-Men, is a particular favorite of mine. The fact that it's drawn by Alan Davis, who drew her best early adventures, written by her creator, Chris Claremont, and is part of the incredibly intense "Mutant Massacre" story arc helps, too, of course. Another one of my favorites, Rogue, is in this issue, too, and yet another one of my favorites, Dazzler, gets a brief page to herself, setting up the next issue's story. It's like it was written just for me!
In this issue, Betsy proves her worth to the X-Men – who are somewhat dismissive of her at the beginning of the issue – by fighting off Sabretooth for a few pages when he invades the mansion looking to kill the survivors of the Massacre and then, when Wolverine starts fighting Sabretooth, Betsy manages to get into the villain's mind and discover more about the Marauders, who perpetrated the massacre. Betsy is narrating this issue, so the caption box on this page says "We" because she and the X-Men were looking for Sabretooth, who managed to escape. Claremont does his usual plot-forwarding on this page, as the X-Men decide the Morlock refugees might be safer in Scotland – a plot point that comes up about 40 issues later – and then Logan admits that Betsy is tougher than he thought she was. Throughout the issue, Betsy has been thinking about how she can show the others how tough she is, and she finally has, so she definitely wants in with the team. The smudged dialogue reads "Wolverine speaks for us all, Elisabeth," and so Betsy becomes an X-Man. She probably would have been better off staying in England.
Davis doesn't do a lot of interesting stuff with the layout of the page, but it's typical Davis artwork, which means a lot of people smile and characters hold their middle finger and their ring fingers together a lot. What's up with that, Mr. Davis? In Panel 2, the X-Men are cleaning up Storm's loft after Sabretooth and Betsy fought there, which is why Ororo is putting the knife back on the wall and Logan is setting the plant on the table. Davis draws the characters so very 1986, with Ororo's magnificent Mohawk stretching into a tail down her back, Callisto and Rogue's hair going all frizzy, and Betsy with that terrible helmet-hair that she had for far too long. Logan, weirdly, is smoking a cigarette, not a cigar, but I guess that's just how he was rolling in 1986, man! Betsy's costume is terrible, but it would get tweaked almost immediately, and soon enough Betsy would turn Asian and start wearing that other awful leotard that had the advantage of being sexy. It's okay if it's ugly as long as it's sexy!!!! The drawing of Betsy is somehow odd, too – her hips look a bit too big for her torso, and her legs look disproportionately long. Davis always draws women with long legs, but I think the width of the hips is making it more obvious in this case.
The fashion of the time notwithstanding, Davis and Claremont do something crucial on this page – the dialogue and the body language make it clear that these people actually like each other. In a lot of team books these days, it seems like none of the characters even like each other, even Betsy and Logan, who have a very long history together. This is why Claremont was so good – he created characters that acted like they enjoyed being on a team, so when they acted contrary to that, there was a good reason (usually) and the reader wanted to know why. It's just nice to see a moment like this, where the X-Men actually act like a family. Or maybe I'm just overly sentimental.
Next: After a brilliant beginning and a tragic second act, many people think this comic should have ended. But it kept going, and the final issue makes a lot of the previous issues worth it, and the final page is simply wonderful. It's one of my favorite comics ever! You can even find a different issue of the series in the archives!
Greg, You have the same blot i do have on the ororo sentence
(that's one of the first X-men i bought in english, all those years ago … , switching my collection from french to english)
On note about the body language, note Calypso and Magneto are kinda standing to the side, out of the moment. Calypso's relationship with Storm has been an interesting one for years at this point, but she wasn't an X-Men, so she's kinda away from the group. And Magneto, try as he might to fulfill Xavier's wishes from #200 to take over the school, just never really fit into the role and is left as a bystander to this entire scene. He would keep this charade up for awhile, until that great Savage Land story when he realizes he just can't be Charles Xavier, and leaves the team in dramatic Claremontian fashion.
I always liked Wolverine's brown and gold uniform better than his blue and lemon yellow one and that Magneto costume is really only bad in that it's not his iconic original look, but man, the 80s weren't kind on the X-Women were they? I think it's because they tried harder to make them "fashionable" – with the belts on top of belts and everything that isn't skintight being poofy or dangly – while the men just got recolored or put in different variations on timeless (if not always attractive) generic "superheroey" looks. Although the 90s would end up being a bit rougher on male heroes' fashions.
(By the way, Jeremy, it's Callisto, not Calypso. She's named after the nymph from Greek mythology who's also a moon of Jupiter, not the nymph from Greek mythology who's also a style of music.)
Alan Davis rules
Loved this issue. It was also one of my first comics – I think my very first was Uncanny X-Men #210. I agree that the art and story made the characters and relationships very clear. Even though it was one of my first issues of the title, I felt like I understood everything and how it all worked. The last panel, as Jeremy points out, underlines the outsider/insider status of Callisto and Magneto. The body language of the characters throughout the page means something too.
Claremont and Davis gave us a lot of information on this page and I like that. These days, too often the final page is a splash page cliffhanger or three or four panels of cliffhanger or wrap-up and it always feels very abrupt. But that's a natural result of writing for the trade.
Jeremy: Excellent point about the body language. Thanks for mentioning it!
God , I love this era. I sort of count the Mutant Massacre as the beginning of the Outback Era (I'm not sure that's how most fans see it though), and this, to me, is a great kick-off for it. That third to last panel is pure Davis awesomeness. To build off your question Greg, I also can't imagine why anyone would not love Psylocke. She's had some particularly weird moments (some might say she's got more of those moments than most characters), but they've only added to her character. Except the Crimson Dawn; I wouldn't say it was bad, just really, really weird, even for her.
And this was where I had basically lost interest in the series but was still collecting it for a few more issues–I know I finally gave up on all the X-bookewduring the dead-in-Australia arc. It's always strange to me to be reminded that I had actually been introduced to Psylocke in X-Men before I stopped reading, because I don't remember her at all. And by the time I started reading X-books again a few years ago she'd been dead for a while, so I've basically never seen her do anything; since she came back she's just been another body in Scott's army in huge battle scenes.
Whoops! That should be "X-books during" rather than "X-bookewduring," of course.
Too Late Comment – Fantastic issue :Alan Davis at his best, the *real* Betsy Braddock before her transformation into thonged-up faux asian Ninja (fuckin' ninjas – the eighties and Michael Dudikoff [sp.?] have a lot to answer for, as does Frank "The Tank" Miller!) Psylocke, the best Logan (none of that James Hewlett crap here, bwoy!) versus Sabretooth fight bar none, and a turning point for Uncanny (plus it was a staging post on the way to your beloved Australian era). All good stuff.
I also look at this as the Beginning of the Outback Era. The team was VERY mobile during this time, jumping from place to place, not just in and around New York state.

I am using this theme as I wanted a simple and clean look. I'd like a few easy edit options that it doesn't have built in, i.e. the option to show only part of my post on the home page instead of the entire post. On longer posts it makes the front page very long.
need more options for customization (something like clickable background, menu design, fonts,...)
Este theme es para mi uno de los mejores y está muy por encima que muchos themes de pago. Obviamente el diseño está muy trillado pero en muchas ocasiones yo prefiero personalizar el diseño de este theme que comprar uno nuevo.
I like the theme cause it is nice as a basic theme nice and clean.
One litle thing, hgroup is not allowed in html 5 anymore.
The theme is very good although the design is quite improved. I liked its simplicity except for the showcase template.
easy to read, fully fonctional, still provide a nice website experience for the user, I use it a lot.
Twelve Eleven is a very user friendly Theme. Great for beginners.
I love the Twenty-eleven theme, but, in its basic format the menubar does not work on a smartphone. What is strange is that the theme, when used on a WordPress.com site seems to make the switch to small format really well (for an example go to http://breadetbutter.wordpress.com ). The menubar turns into a very functional drop menu.

Page 2 columnist
I watched this with Moon, the daughter of a tough former Army sergeant and boxing instructor. Moon grew up watching fights and being around the boxing culture, just as Jackie Kallen, protagonist of "Against the Ropes" did.
At the pivotal (and contrived) moment in the film, the "big fight sequence" near the end, I looked over, and Moon was asleep. And not just asleep. Fast asleep. KOed. Sawing logs. Big ones. And you could not be any more "target audience" than she is.
The problem with this picture is not motif, boxing, or character. Jackie is occasionally engaging enough at face value, as played by Meg Ryan with a whiskey-and-tobacco-husky voice (though we never see her use any whiskey or tobacco) and her Midwestern twang and her absurd wardrobe borrowed from the old "Erin Brockovich" or "Klute" trunks, perhaps in the hopes that those scuzzy wardrobes would fill in the story holes.
The problem is that this film does not engage you at all, at no emotional level, not even for the briefest instant. There is an odd visceral moment here and there when somebody gets punched, or the sound is laid in effectively. But other than that ... zilch.
Maybe the problem is that it is not taken from a good source text, one with its own emotional engine or drive. It's just spliced together with anecdotes, and not necessarily good anecdotes.
Maybe it's also that as a director, Roc Dutton is a good heavyweight stage actor. Dutton had his screenwriter go around and watch fights and fight prep, and regurgitate some odd little stories about promoting. But there is no effective through-line that makes you want to watch the picture.
Dutton himself says he didn't want to co-star as the trainer, Felix, and was promised the likes of Morgan Freeman for the role. As if. So Dutton did it himself.
The entire picture has a do-it-yourself feel that might be good for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps as a small-time boxing promoter who happens to be a woman who dresses like a tramp, but it doesn't necessarily work for a film director who happens not to have a clue about how to make an audience care.
The movie is set in Cleveland. Kallen made her bones around Detroit. But since "Blue Collar," "True Romance," "8 Mile" and several adaptations of good Elmore Leonard novels were set in Detroit, the bar was set too high there. But even for Cleveland settings, "Ropes" makes "Major League" look like "Raging Bull." At least in "Major League," they were going for jokes.
A sampling of dialogue:
"Boxing is a team sport."
"Jab! Jab! Jab!"
"I'm taking all the risks." (In "Hard Times," the irony of a promoter making that statement is allowed to settle in the air and hang there in all its absurdity. But in "Against the Ropes," the line is played straight, as if fact.)
We see Jackie morph into a hard-boiled type out for herself, clearly true of nearly all successful boxing promoters. But then she is back brought to her senses and dewy-eyed sensitivities by Omar Epps' Luther. Epps is otherwise quite believable as a fighter, only he acts like he needs Jackie to hold his hand while training.
She is also brought to her senses by Local TV Sports Guy With Nice Teeth, in the thankless position of having to serve as conscience, wronged Jackie-lover (who in boxing wouldn't blow off a local TV pre-fight spot for HBO?), and quasi-love interest. (Meg is allowed to play it so sterile that it's more of a "like" interest.)
For a woman who dresses like she's looking for a date -- and a certain kind of date, at that -- Jackie is strangely absent of real action. Oh, by the way, Jackie is also brought to her senses by Tony Shaloub as LaRocca, the Oily Mob Promoter, and then by Felix, the World-Weary Trainer With the Heart of Gold, who ... oh, forget it.
Jackie really loves boxing, only we never quite learn why -- cute-little-girl, brusque-daddy, kind-uncle opening notwithstanding. The whole exercise seems a little too cleaned-up, a little too nice, a little too cut-and-dried -- like it's hiding something from us, only we can tell what.
In the end, when Roc Dutton has staged his version of Hagler-Hearns, his reason (not counting money) for doing this grimy little flick, and the banished blonde walks determinedly past the crowd and into the ring to the rising score, then pushes aside the grizzled trainer she hired to school Luther so she can hold his face and tell him he can so do it, and, by the way, he should switch from southpaw to righty because that will throw the soon-to-be-doomed champ ... after all that, the groaning and sighing wasn't coming from stadium seats or floorboards or Roc's belt or hatband.
I did say, "Excuse me," though.

From Our Editors
When Andrea Fittipaldi, a native of Brazil, moved to the United States, she noticed many waxing salons did not practice authentic Brazilian waxing techniques. To fill the demand, she opened Beauty & Waxing studio, which offers authentic Brazilian waxes alongside body and face waxes. Andrea uses a creamy, hard wax that causes less pain and irritation than some other waxes due to its composition of shea butter, aloe, jojoba oil, and alpha bisabolol, which has a soothing, cooling effect on the skin.
Aside from waxing services, Andrea performs permanent-makeup procedures for those who have lost their eyebrows, those who find it difficult to apply makeup, and those who simply don't have the time to apply makeup on a daily basis. Her menu of beauty services also includes below-the-belt skincare treatments, ear candling, and eyelash extensions.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Sea Sponge Drug May Fight Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer Prognosis continued...
Women on eribulin were 19% less likely to die, the study shows. Their cancer also stayed in check slightly longer: 3.7 months vs. 2.2 months for women on standard treatment. Tumors shrank by 30% or more in 12.2% of women on eribulin vs. 4.7% of women in the other group.
Surprisingly, among women whose tumors did shrink, the duration of response was longer for women in the standard therapy group: 6.7 months vs. 4.1 months in the eribulin group.
Twelves cautions against putting too much emphasis on that finding, given that there were only about 10 women in the standard treatment group.
Side Effects of Eribulin
About 4% of women taking eribulin developed a potentially life-threatening condition called febrile neutropenia marked by infection, fever, and low white blood cell count. That was about three times the rate of women in the other group.
But overall, the rate of serious side effects was similar in both groups, affecting about one in four women.
The most frequent side effects with eribulin were fatigue, weakness, low white blood cell count, hair loss, and nausea, Twelves says. "The key thing is that only 4.8% of women actually had to stop treatment [due to side effects].
Eric Winer, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, tells WebMD that women need to discuss the risks and benefits of eribulin with their doctors.
"There aren't many drugs that show a survival advantage in this setting," says Winer, who moderated a news briefing on the findings.
"I don't know that there are going to be many more chemotherapy agents approved for women with breast cancer," he says, referring to the fact that most of the newer breast cancer drugs like Herceptin and Tykerb target specific molecular defects that fuel different types of tumors.
