Christina Hendricks rules the office as Joan Harris on AMC's Mad Men — but how would she fare in a modern workplace? In a new video at Funny or Die, the actress takes Joan into the kind of office you're probably occupying right now, where she learns about iPhones, computers, and Febreeze.
As with several recent Funny or Die videos, "Modern Office" leads with a joke to raise a more serious issue. "In the U.S., women make 23 percent less than their male counterparts. Did you know that almost 70 percent of the minimum wage workforce is female, but only 15 percent of our Fortune 500 CEOs are?" she says. "So I figure if we're going to run our businesses like it's the 1960s, I'm going to act like it."

Russia is saying "your loss" to the International Olympic Committee by hosting its own tournament in Moscow for athletes banned from competing in track and field at this summer's Rio Olympics. "About 135 track and field athletes are going to compete. They include Olympic champions and medal-holders as well as less renowned athletes forbidden to compete in Rio," Yuri Borzakovsky, the head coach of the Russian athletics squad, told Russia's TASS news agency.
Athletes will include "Sergei Shubenkov, incumbent world champion in the 110-meter race; high jumpers Maria Kuchina, Olympic Champion Ivan Ukhov, and Daniil Tsyplakov; javelin throwers Dmitry Tarabin and Vera Rebrik; [and] triple jumper Yekaterina Koneva," TASS reported.
Russia's track and field competitors were banned after a state-sponsored doping scandal came to light. Calls for a complete ban on Russian athletes were eventually rejected despite evidence Russian officials tampered with urine samples at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. Jeva Lange
Prosecutors drop all charges against remaining officers over Freddie Gray's death, closing case with no convictions
Prosecutors have dropped all remaining charges against three police officers over the death of Freddie Gray, bringing an end to the case. No officers were convicted over Gray's death; the three other officers charged were all acquitted earlier this year.
"The facts are the same in all the cases," a defense lawyer following the trials, Warren A. Brown, told The New York Times earlier this year. "If you keep going to the store with 89 cents, and they keep telling you you need a dollar, why are you going to keep going back?"
Gray's death in Baltimore in April 2015 became central to the Black Lives Matter movement after he fell into a coma due to spinal cord injuries he sustained while being transported in a police van. He died just days after his arrest, which concerned possession of a switchblade. Jeva Lange
Vice President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday night that it would be immoral for fans of Bernie Sanders to vote for anyone other than Hillary Clinton.
"What do you say when one of the Bernie delegates comes to you and says, 'Listen, I'm just not going for Hillary; I'm standing by my principles'?" asked ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "I say — I look at you and I say — 'I know you're gonna vote for Hillary,'" Biden answered. "'I just know. Because if you're as moral and centered as you say you are, I know you can't vote for Trump. I know.'"
Though Biden cast the 2016 election as a two-horse race, third party candidates Jill Stein (of the Green Party) and Gary Johnson (of the Libertarian Party) are both making a bid for disaffected Sanders voters. Stein is actively campaigning outside the Democratic National Convention in Philly, and a June poll found about two in 10 Bernie fans said they'd vote for Johnson if their candidate lost the nomination.

John Hinckley Jr., who on March 30, 1981, shot and wounded then-President Ronald Reagan, has been granted release from St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C., and will be transferred to outpatient care. A federal judge granted Hinckley's request Wednesday on the strict conditions that Hinckley not contact any of the victims in the shooting or their relatives. Hinckley has been in treatment at the hospital since the shooting, for which he was acquitted by reason of insanity after it was found he committed the would-be assassination to impress the actress Jodie Foster, whom he is also banned from contacting.
Hinckley shot four people, including Reagan, outside the Washington Hilton Hotel. Reagan's press secretary James Brady was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot in the head by Hinckley; when Brady died in 2014, his death was ruled a homicide by a medical examiner, who said he succumbed to health problems stemming from the 1981 shooting.
CBS News reports that St. Elizabeth's is required by constitutional law to advocate for Hinckley's release because of an "obligation to transition patients to outpatient care when they are ready. This case is not about the merits of whether an individual should be able to shoot four people, including a sitting U.S. president, and then be able to spend the last third of his life as a free man."
Hinckley, now 61, will be sent to live with his 90-year-old mother in Williamsburg, Virginia. He could be released as soon as next week. Kimberly Alters
Nancy Pelosi says white men don't like Clinton 'because of guns, because of gays, and because of God'
Republican Donald Trump leads Democrat Hillary Clinton 56 percent to 25 percent among white men, according to a recent survey — and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) believes she knows why.
"So many times, white — non-college-educated — white males have voted Republican," she said in an interview with PBS on Tuesday. "They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G's — God being the woman's right to choose."
Pelosi advised Clinton to attract more white male voters to her campaign "with an economic agenda to create jobs" because, for this demographic, "it's about the economy."
A New York Times report last week suggested the Clinton camp is already worried about its deficit with white men and picked Sen. Tim Kaine for the VP slot in an effort to address that problem. Bonnie Kristian
Bill Clinton has a reputation for being a brilliant public speaker — though his appeal might be quickly wearing off. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow slammed the former president for being un-feminist in his introduction of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic convention Tuesday night, telling her fellow commentators: "I think the beginning of the speech was a controversial way to start, honestly, talking about the girl, a girl, leading with this long story about him being attracted to an unnamed girl and thinking about whether he was starting something he couldn't finish, building her whole political story for the whole first half of the speech around her marriage to him."
Maddow gave the end of his speech an "A+" but went as far as to say "the top of the speech I found shocking and weird." Watch her full justification, below. Jeva Lange
Hillary Clinton made history Tuesday night by becoming the first woman to be nominated for president by a major American political party. Some in newspaper photo departments around the country, though, might have missed that memo:

The Memphis Grizzlies are in must-win mode as the Western Conference finals move to the FedExForum for Saturday's Game 3 against the visiting San Antonio Spurs. The Grizzlies dug themselves out of a 0-2 hole in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers and will need to do so again with San Antonio winning two on its homecourt. The Spurs had a 2-0 lead in last season's West finals before losing four straight to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Memphis put together a late charge before succumbing 93-89 in overtime in Tuesday's Game 2. The Grizzlies trailed by 18 points with 14 minutes remaining before rallying to force the extra session but were unable to even the series. "We're down 0-2," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "We've got to go home and take care of business at home. It's not going to be easy, but that's where we are." Spurs point guard Tony Parker set a personal playoff-best with 18 assists in Game 2 but isn't relaxing over the 2-0 edge. "We understand that we didn't do anything," Parker said. "We just protected home court and we have a long way to go because we know we're playing a very good team."
TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN
ABOUT THE SPURS: Parker also had 15 points and three steals while bettering his previous personal-best for playoff assists by four. He has been playing with a painful left calf injury suffered in the second-round series against the Golden State Warriors and underwent an MRI exam on Thursday. The results displayed the calf contusion is dissipating and the three-day break without a game also should help Parker be more spry for Game 3. He is averaging 17.5 points and 13.5 assists in the series. Guard Danny Green has been stellar from long range and is 9-for-14 from behind the arc over San Antonio's last three playoff games, while power forward Tim Duncan has blocked six shots despite shooting 9-for-23 from the field over the first two games.
ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES: Power forward Zach Randolph finally got his game going in the second half of Game 2. He had just four points on 2-of-18 shooting over the first six quarters of the series before finding room to operate during Memphis' second-half comeback. Randolph finished with 15 points and 18 rebounds – including seven on the offensive boards – and center Marc Gasol also had a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds. The Grizzlies need their star post players to find their shooting touch – Gasol is 11-for-28 from the field and Randolph is 7-for-26.
1. San Antonio has made 23 3-pointers in the series – including a franchise postseason-record 14 in Game 1.
2. The Grizzlies outrebounded the Spurs 60-46 in Game 2, led by a 19-4 edge on the offensive glass.
3. Spurs G Manu Ginobili failed to reach double digits in either of the first two games and has just one 20-point outing in San Antonio's 12 playoff games.

By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff WriterJune 21, 2012
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (June 21, 2012) -- Behavioral issues affect not only Soldiers returning from combat, but also the Families of those that have served overseas.
That's why Behavioral Health at Lyster Army Health Clinic is there to provide treatment and care to Soldiers and Families that may suffer from such issues, according to Barry Funkhouser, chief of Behavioral Health and clinical psychologist for Lyster.
"We provide evaluation and treatment services for Soldiers and their beneficiaries that may have psychological or behavioral adjustment difficulties or needs," he said. "We see mostly Soldiers, but we try to support the spouses and Family members of those that are deployed as well."
Behavioral Health offers progressive treatments, such as yoga or biofeedback, to help combat the effects of post-traumatic stress and other behavioral issues, according to Funkhouser.
The organization also uses prolonged exposure treatment, which is used to get the Soldier to a point where he or she can talk about some of the difficult experiences that might have resulted in behavioral issues.
"We get them to try and talk about their experiences over and over until it doesn't cause them to have the same reaction that might have caused problems," he said. "We also do quite a bit of Family work … and we try to get them on the same page."
He said the majority of problems arise from post -deployment difficulties, like PTS, that Soldiers can develop from combat and the difference in mindset that they experience in their daily lives when returning home.
"Soldiers come back and they are still in the combat frame of mind that they had during deployment," he said. "They come [back home] and they may have different interpretations of an event [the occurred] that can create some tension in their lives."
Lt. Col. Sean Hollonbeck, deputy commander for clinical services at Lyster, described the frame of mind that Soldiers have as "battle minded."
"If you're in the military, you should have the battle mind that you're a warrior and you should have a warrior ethos regardless of your job," he said, adding that the issues come up when Soldiers that return home are unable to turn off that battle-minded frame of mind.
"When [a Soldier] returns from war, it's hard to turn that off," said Hollonbeck. "Spouses don't always [understand] it."
When a spouse doesn't understand why the Soldier is acting differently or isn't acting as social, Funkhouser said they might take it personally, which can create problems.
"[The returning Soldier] can be very withdrawn or they could be hesitant to go out into social situations because they feel uncomfortable or threatened," he said. "There can be a miscommunication or misinterpretation by spouses or Family members, and they might take it personally thinking that the Soldier doesn't want to spend time with them.
"Simply pointing out the fact that it's not personal can be helpful so that [the spouses or Family members] don't personalize that behavior," said the clinical psychologist. "One of the first things we do with Soldiers is to try to help them understand the difficulties they are having."
Educating Soldiers and Family members to help them understand the issues that they are having and where they stem from is important to the treatment process, he said, adding that letting Soldiers know that they are not alone and that PTS is a real issue is also important.
"We need young Soldiers to know that PTS is real," said Hollonbeck. "Senior leaders have it and I'll argue that most people that have deployed and seen combat, whether they know it or not, have PTS."
Hollonbeck admitted that he also suffers from PTS having experienced losses in combat, and said that the treatment he receives is on a personal level, which is the type of treatment that behavioral health can provide to others that suffer from behavioral issues.
"My therapist knows me well enough and one of the things recommended for me, on top of what I already do, is reading," he said. "We want to empower our service members and have them understand that it's normal. I think the way we do that is by getting a lot of the senior leaders on this post to step forward, so, I put that challenge out there."

AMC Networks (AMCX -1.9%) expands into no-man's land with a planned shift to a Saturday time slot for its AMC show Boot Hill. Typically, the day is the destination of scrapped shows, but at this year's TV industry "upfront" meetings it's becoming clear that cable networks are willing to gamble as competitions increases. The big question to be answered this week is if upfront ad sales see any impact from the onslaught of streaming options for consumers.

Arrested by Blytheville Police just before being arraigned in Blytheville District Court Tuesday morning, state authorities allege Bell was involved in a scheme to defraud the city by submitting fraudulent invoices, including one for an apparent fake $4,777.07 repair to her brother's vehicle.
As of Tuesday morning, Bell, 40, of Lincoln, Neb., and Leonard Woods (son of city Finance Director LaVera Kuykendall) are the only ones officially charged in the schemes. Woods is accused of fraudulently billing the city for computer services to Bell's city computer. Bell claimed Kuykendall was involved in the auto repair scheme and "had it covered," though the current city finance director is facing no charges at this time.
According to the affidavit for arrest, on Sept. 6, the State Police initiated the investigation upon the request of the 2nd Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney's Office, which was notified by state auditors that they had discovered potential theft during the city audit. The 2012 audit has not been released, but the affidavit indicates items that may be in it.
The affidavit says a receipt/invoice for repair to an automobile owned by Travis Joplin, Bell's brother, dated April 3, 2013, for $4,777.07, was given to the city for payment to Joplin for damages to the vehicle caused by street potholes. According to the report, the city paid the invoice on May 22, 2013; Bell resigned and moved to Nebraska in early June.
"Auditors suspected the invoice to be fraudulent and contacted the repair facility named on the invoice," the report reads. "The facility told auditors they had not performed any work on the Joplin vehicle. The facility provided documents to auditors which clearly indicate the invoice was fraudulent."
Auditors reportedly found another invoice to given to the city, allegedly by Joplin, for $75.90, which was paid on March 14, 2012.
The affidavit says two other invoices were questioned by auditors regarding services provided to the city by Leonard Woods, DBA, Twlight Computer Services.
The invoices were for computer repairs by Woods -- identified as Finance Director LaVera Kuykendall's son -- on a city computer used by Bell, the report says.
One invoice was dated Nov. 13, 2012, in the amount of $929.03 and paid by the city in May 2013, according to the report.
The second, also for computer repair by Woods, was for $511 on Dec. 19, 2012, for the same computer.
The city issued a check for payment of the invoice in the same month; the total paid to Woods, by the city, was $1,440.03.
"Auditors examined the computer and were unable to find new hardware, equipment, or software changes made to the computer," the report reads. "The invoices were specific identifying that Woods had replaced parts and, or modified the computer. A determination was made that the receipts were fraudulent, made only to fraudulently collect money from the city."
The report said Joplin told police he did not have any work performed on his vehicle by the auto repair facility, and he had no knowledge that the invoice existed. He reportedly said he didn't receive any money from the city or Bell.
"He did claim he had given Bell an invoice he obtained for a repair to his vehicle at a Jonesboro, Ark. repair facility," the report said. "He stated he believed the invoice was for around $75, for an alignment to his car from alleged damages from a city street."
The state investigator said in interviews on Sept. 10 and Sept. 16, Bell admitted she was "involved in a scheme to obtain money from the City of Blytheville by giving the city fraudulent invoices."
The report said Bell detailed her involvement, claiming Kuykendall befriended her while she was working for the city, and the finance director was responsible for the fraud scheme.
"She stated Kuykendall told her if anything was ever said, Kuykendall 'had it covered,'" the report said. "She stated, regarding the check to Joplin for $4,777.07, she and Kuykendall provided to the city the necessary documents to receive the check for the invoiced repairs. Once the check was issued, she cashed the check and split the money with Kuykendall. She said she met with Kuykendall outside the city offices in her vehicle, where Kuykendall split the money three ways, giving her around $1,700. She stated she stamped the mayor's name on the check for a signature and then forged a second city employee's signature to the check. She stated Kuykendall told her to give some money to her brother, but she did not do so, stating her brother did not know anything about the scheme."
Bell claimed that Kuykendall was responsible for all the fraudulent payroll documents, and even made her fraudulent payroll documents in order for Bell to get into an apartment, which required the applicant to provide proof of income.
The report said Bell also admitted she had received a check from the city of Blytheville for $75.90, issued to Joplin, which she cashed and kept the money.
"Bell further admitted she was given an invoice from her brother for a vehicle repair in the amount of $75.90," the report said. "She admitted a check was issued to her brother for that amount and she received a check from the city, which she cashed, and she did not give any money to her brother."
"I determined the invoice for $75.90 was legitimate, although Bell improperly received the funds from the city and cashed the check."
According to the report, Bell said she had Woods work on her city computer, but did not receive any money from the payments for repairs.
The state investigator interviewed Woods on Sept. 25, and Woods initially said he had submitted actual invoices to the city for work he had done to Bell's computer, the report said.
"After Woods was confronted with the fact that the equipment he claimed was installed on the computer had not been found he then admitted he had fraudulently billed the city for the payments he received. Woods admitted he made the invoices to get money from the city. Woods indicated he acted alone in the scheme to defraud the city."
The report said Kuykendall denied having any involvement in a scheme to defraud the city.
"She made no admissions to conspiring with Bell, or Woods, to collect money from the city by the issuance of fraudulent invoices."
This morning, Sanders, who is mourning the recent death of his brother, said his office has cooperated with the investigation and will continue to do so.
"Any changes we need to make, we're going to address those changes," Sanders said.
A message left for Kuykendall this morning was not immediately returned.
Even before Tuesday's arraignment, Sanders had taken steps to replace Kuykendall, whose CNA Surety bond expires on Jan. 25 and is not expected to be renewed.
All other city employees are bonded through the Arkansas Fidelity Bond Trust Fund program. Kuykendall needed the separate bond because of legal issues in her past.
In September, Sanders notified the Council that he was taking steps to replace Kuykendall, who he hired in July 2011 to replace retired Finance Director Faye Griggs.
He has reportedly appointed Alfred L. Barnhart of Star City to the position, pending a clean background check.

Curtis Wolf, director of the Kansas Wetlands Education Center, was pleasantly surprised at the turnout for the rescheduled bird count that was cancelled Dec. 18 due to snow and wet weather. This event is part of the nationwide Audubon Christmas Bird Count, which started Dec. 14 and continues through Jan. 5. Data from the count is used to monitor the health of populations.
The Hoisington City Council met Monday night and continued the discussion concerning a proposed Hoisington housing project by Housing Opportunities, Inc. Three sites are under consideration for a total of eight duplexes with 14 units. The first site, located at 7th and Cedar, would contain one duplex. At 5th and Pine, three units are planned, and at 4th and Maple, four units are planned. Zoning changes from R-1 to R-2 are required at both the Cedar and Maple properties, and letters have been sent out with nothing but positive feedback received, according to Hoisington City Manager Jonathan Mitchell.

Being a suburban kid -turned - rural adult, I don't disagree with your opinion on who will have an adventurous palate. But, I've tried sucker deep fried, pan fried, smoked, canned, and pickled, and somehow it still tastes like sucker. (They're running right now) Got any trade secrets in your book on how to make sucker awesome? PS, hello from Michigan!
Launch dates announced, secure your seats now. This event WILL sellout.
@bob yes all food will be prepared in a commercial kitchen and served in accordance to current health regulations
Will the food be prepared in a licensed commercial kitchen?
Check out BLK MKT on Facebook
On Instagram @blkmkt_society
Membership details available soon!
If the meals served in the Sky Club prior to athletic events are a measure of the quality and taste then I would have to give the food service a great big fat "O". Expensive and tasteless come to mind. MDB
"would balk at the lofty sentiment"
Didn't do a whole bunch of research did you? Likely came off the top of your head. Just about everyone in dining threw up a little this morning reading that!
Also not the best person to be lauding over, since he's embarrassed the UM's reputation -- or should we say enhanced it's bad reputation -- at annual conventions repeatedly. One day that will all come out. And if Terresa Branch had ever done her job, it would have done so already. But that's what the UM does, protect its own incompetence.
Why do meal plans go up if costs are down? I see someone ask. Well, food costs are down because there are fewer students. Meal plans are up...because there are fewer students.
I'm no math major but if food costs have gone down since 2007, why have meal plan prices gone up every year? Is it to pay for LoParco's hefty salary of over $90k a year? How is that sustainable? Wait, I know- because he only pays his cooks $10 an hour. Maybe I am a math major!
Thanks got this great article. As one of the university's main beef producers now for five years, I can attest to the validity of your statement and Mark LoParco's great work. The university has bought hundreds of thousands of dollars from Yellowstone Grassfed Beef and literally made our company viable. My hat's off to you for the story and to LoParco for his vision and commitment to local foods. Bryan Ulring
Jamie: Nice job highlighting a fantastic program at UM that serves the broader Montana economy and community. Well done! Dan Spencer
A blender ? An old fashioned mixer, run on high ?
Woah, any way to do this without the food processor, "BrokeAss"?
GREAT GUY and AWESOME products! Richard Joslin ~ Last Man Standing Hot Sauces, Chandler, AZ
I just want bro say thanks for the write up. I'm glad to be able to share my passion with Missoula and the rest of the world!
"I have absolutely no plan for dinner. I haven't shopped. I haven't prepped."
A line from Taming of the Shrew comes to mind: "Get thee a wife!" At least back in the day, wives had time to do that. I often wondered during those years of children, gardening, cooking, housekeeping, etc., whether getting me a wife would ease the burden. Notwithstanding the illegality back then of a wife taking a wife ... .
Now, here, you rise toward stardom: "I have a cast iron pan, the holy grail of cookware, the simplest and yet most useful of any pan I've ever owned." I've loved my cast iron pans for five decades. I know that "they shall touch no water". Every time I look at the still-warm skillet, I think "oil it -- and the food bits -- lightly before storing". Nope. I wash that rascal in hot water and soap with a plastic scrubbie thing right away. Residual heat dries it immediately. I hang it on the rack over the stove. (It's my equivalent of hanging antlers all about.)
None, repeat, none of my cast iron was new when I acquired it. Some pans have tarried with me almost 50 years. Some have suffered the ignominy of daily soap and water, sometimes the scrubbing off of bits stuck to it. Their saving grace is that their brothers and sisters have been similarly abused.
Based on this unscientific experiment -- almost half a century of scrubbing cast iron pans with dish soap -- I am willing to state that the well-used cast iron pans I acquired will again outlast their present owner, they will have been scrubbed clean and lovingly oiled for another 30 or so years before I relinquish them, and they will be ready for more. My children will use them "unto the next generation", and their children, and so on ... and may they daily wash that stuff off them because ... ick!
Best food in Missoula! I love going to farmers market for some Bao!
Bruh It was a Superb Information about this article and love to see more from you Thanks for this Information :) :)
Once again Thanks :)
This place is so great! You leave full with so many different flavors. Definitely a staple for me now!
We loved our two meals (so far) at Curry House. I hope they will make it in Missoula!
Missoula is so lucky to have such amazing Indian food served by such a kind and talented person. Eating there literally tempted me to move back!

I.Definition – Skeletal neuromuscular disease is characterized by persistent deterioration of striated muscle tissue. Muscular Dystrophy is distinguished from other Neuromuscular diseases by four criteria:
(Insert Figures 16.1 and 16.2 on page 239 here.)
(Insert Table 16.1 on page 238 here.)
Progression through stages of functional ability include:
1. Low strength/endurance; normal ambulation with possible overwork weakness; slight deficiency in function.
2. Reduction in activity; tendency to fatigue easily; reduced strength/endurance; habitual activity, mild contractures and possible overwork weakness; ambulation with assistance.
3. Poor strength/endurance; overwork weakness; contractures; limited ambulation and decrease in physical activity and standing.
4. Ambulation significantly decreased; functional use of wheelchair; severe contractures and muscular weakness; pulmonary difficulties and cardiomyopathy.
Individuals with muscular dystrophy commonly demonstrate low muscle endurance and fatigue quickly while walking and climbing stairs.
Guidelines for Intervention:
A. Concerns:Early recognition is essential for early intervention physical activity will help maintain muscular strength and functional ability. Recommendation for intervention should promote range of motion, maintain positive and alleviate contractures. Several concerns are evident in developing an excise program. They include:
B. Individualized Program Approach:
The components of an exercise program should include strength, endurance and aerobic power that is essential for standing, walking and functional daily tasks. Goals of the program should include:
C. Community Home Based Interventions
(Insert Table 16.2 on page 244 here.)
Input is needed from the collaborative team and alleviating stress on their joints on joint protection. The Arthritis Foundation recommends 3 types of exercises:

Week four of the Kentucky General Assembly marked a momentous occasion for our state. Governor Matt Bevin gave his first State of the Commonwealth Budget Address, laying out a plan that will guide Kentucky out of the financial mire that has lingered for the past eight years.
Dear Readers,
By Rick Nelson
Last week started out with many commemorating the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It ended Friday with people marching and assembling in cities (not hit by the wintery blast) to uphold human dignity of a different kind. While King was the face of the civil rights movement, it is unlikely the pro-life movement will ever have a single representative, but if they do, it will probably be the face of an anonymous woman who's had an abortion.
Since my friend Mike has been sober, he's taken me to one of his AA meetings every so often.
I don't struggle with alcohol, but I have my own compulsions and obsessions.
It's my opinion that every one of us is addicted to something and that those somethings can and do change, sometimes daily.
Although week three of the General Assembly was short due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and the inclement weather Friday, the Kentucky Senate passed significant bills and welcomed visitors who braved the snow in Frankfort.
On Tuesday we passed two of our priority bills: Senate Bill (SB) 4 and SB 10. SB 4 would require those seeking an abortion to have a face-to-face, in-person counseling session with a physician 24 hours prior to the procedure. This effort to promote the rights of the unborn passed with bipartisan support.
With the General Assembly off on Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and on Friday because of the snow, last week was an especially short one for legislators.
A reduced schedule didn't keep the House from moving several bills forward, however.
On Wednesday, for example, the chamber's Judiciary Committee put its support behind House Bill 229, which would give the Attorney General's office jurisdiction to pursue and prosecute human trafficking cases.
In a recent edition of the Trimble Banner, there was a full page ad from some out-of-town law firm targeting our nursing home here in Bedford, KY. As the full-time chaplain at Signature HealthCare of Trimble County, I witnessed several heartbreaking reactions from our residents (who we call neighbors) when they saw the ad that morning. One neighbor's reaction stands out in particular. Ms. Gladys Penick with a distraught look on her face asked, "Why would they do that? I've been here two years, and everything has been great."
As I write this, I'm sitting in the sanctuary of my church.
It's early on a Monday morning, the first day of our prayer week.
We did this last year, opened the church to anyone who wanted to come and pray. Last year I went every day and prayed fervent, specific prayers, prayed with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.
As far as I can tell, not one of my prayers was answered the way I had hoped. The situation I had prayed about has changed, but not the way I had imagined and hoped it would.

League of Legends teases its 101st champion, Zyra
The 101st champion to grace League of Legends is being teased, and apparently, she has an affinity for plant life. According to a discussion over on the LoL forums, lead champion designer Ryan Scott, the champion – rumored to be named Zyra – can use vegetation as a ranged weapon. "I'm really stoked about champion 101, because I got to work much much more directly on it than I usually do and it's an archetype I think we've needed," Scott said. "I'll….plant a little teaser for you. Hint: She's not made of flesh." No word on when to expect the champion to release, but the MOBA's latest champ, Jayce, recently released on the test servers. Thanks, PCGamesN.

Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer, archbishop of Sao Paulo, pauses during a news conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. Latin America is home to the world's largest Roman Catholic population, but hopes that the next pope will come from the region appear faint, experts said Monday. Brazilian Cardinals Joao Braz de Aviz, a 65-year-old who has earned praise as head of the Vatican's office for religious congregations, and Odilo Pedro Scherer, the 63-year-old archbishop of Sao Paulo, have been mentioned as possibilities.

I've been able to set up multiple dynamic sidebars for my theme without any trouble. I have the INCLUDE's set up properly to call the appropriate sidebar_template.php file but when I use the Admin Widget manager I can only add a widget to ONE dynamic sidebar.
For example:
If I add the Page widget to sidebar1, save it and then load sidebar2 using the drop-down, the Page widget no longer has the option to add it to my second sidebar.
It looks like I can only load a single widget onto one dynamic sidebar at a time - my question: is this by design, a bug or did I miss a config change somewhere that spawns multiple "instances" of a widget?
If it's by design, I'll just drop hacking multiple side bars into my theme and use non-dynamic ones instead.

A 31-year-old consumer of mass media and seasonal pumpkin-flavored products. Signed on for relief from massive Avatar-withdrawl symptoms, exacerbated by "Nothing on TV" syndrome. Once made several edits to The Spectacular Spider-Man and The Zombie Hunters and ThunderCats (2011) and The Legend of Korra.

Aiguille's lack of respect for the preview button is a problem, and she also has an unhealthy love of potholes.

Children's Health
The Truth About Sensory Processing Disorder
What Is SPD? continued...
Some examples: A typical child may cover her ears when the train with its loud whistle rockets by; a child with SPD may fall into hysterical fits of terror. A typical child may wrinkle his nose and say that Grandma's perfume is stinky, but a child with SPD might refuse to play at someone else's house because he thinks they all smell yucky. (The Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation has a checklist of symptoms on its web site.)
The concept of SPD has been around for a long time -- it was first described in the 1960s by occupational therapist A. Jean Ayres, PhD -- but the diagnosis gained traction in the late 1990s with the publication of The Out-of-Sync Child, by educator Carol Stock Kranowitz. The Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation claims that as many as 1 in every 20 people -- both children and adults -- in the United States is affected by the condition. It often seems to be worse in children, though.
"Sensory dysregulation tends to get better with neurological maturation, but in many cases, it does not go away altogether," says Allison Kawa, PsyD, a Los Angeles child psychologist. "Most people learn coping strategies as they grow up. For example, people with sensitivity to light often find fluorescent lights irritating. As adults, they might choose to bring floor lamps into their office to avoid having to use them.
"Remember, we all engage in sensory seeking behavior (such as tapping a pencil or chewing a pen cap while concentrating) and sensory avoidance (I personally hate touching cold, mushy things like raw meat). It is when these needs or aversions interfere with our functioning and cause dysregulation that we have a disorder," Kawa adds.
But not everyone is convinced that SPD is a distinct disorder at all -- many suggest it is only a symptom related to other behavioral or developmental disorders, like autism and ADHD. Even those who do think it exists are cautious about applying the SPD label.
"I see it all the time in kids, and I do refer for further evaluation by occupational therapists," says Kawa. "But it does not yet appear in any of our diagnostic manuals, and it's not something like depression that has been well researched and defined with a large body of evidence."
"It can be a legitimate diagnosis," Healy adds, "but I also think that a lot of highly sensitive kids get lumped with a label that's not to their benefit. In extreme cases, it's clear there's a problem that needs help. But in milder situations, it's very unclear if it makes sense to label these kids."

Commission- Far from the Beach by ChaosKomoriWatch
©2012-2016 ChaosKomori
What about a picture of penny flora and daisy from pole position tied up and gagged
I approve of this in everyway.
Lovely artwork :3
What stops them from rolling off the tracks, and towards safety? You think they'd be trying to get off the rails since they're not tied to the rails.
I'd certainly not be just 'waiting' for the train!

Cute little tie up games.
Nice. Penny and Jayce look so in their swimsuits. On no the train is almost here! Quickly get out of the way! I hope they will be saved in the nick of time.
10 year old girls in string bikinis; god bless the 80's...
These pictures are actually quite sexual in nature. The people that commission them are usually quite interested in bondage, and a lot more.
It's okay though. I'm the same x.x; I was thinking of commissioning you, are you taking them right now? Great picture by the way.
I just felt like sharing but when I was younger I always wanted to be an animator. I think its cool you're one!
Oh and final thing. A question, actually... do you have any interest in this kind of damsel in distress art? I mean... surely you must as you take up these commissions! :c
good thing its a commission or else you'd look like a sick freak. but it wasn't your idea you just drew it so you're in the clear. you're not a sick freak only a sick freak enabler.
You shouldn't go around judging others, Judgy McJudgertons. If this picture makes somebody happy, then it makes them happy.
Looks a lot like a Velma and Daphne pic I saw recently.
That's the one! You admit it! Art thief! Arrrrt thieeeeeeeef!
(gawd, I do love that picture too!)
(gawd, I do love that picture too!)
heh The Dover Boys!
Naa. Penny would have the brains to just roll out of the way. Nothing is really tieing her down. No need for saving this time.
Awh, I love Inspector Gadget! I'm sure Brain will swoop in just in time to save Penny ^^ Cute style!
Ah, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. I remember that. It was a cartoon that around in the mid-80s, kind of weird, but at the time, was awesome. Flora was always an adorable little character, even though she was created from a flower.
cuuute! would you be interested in an art trade by chance?
Don't remember wheeled warriors, but the theme tune is great.
Cute work
I do hope that's a giant feather with a light attached to it and not a train coming for them
Considering some of the other commissioned work here, that's fairly possible.
XD That would be an interesting ending for sure.
Penny from Inspector Gadget I do remember, but I don't remember a damn thing about Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors except mutant plants
Nice one. Looks good.

Introduced last year, the CX-5 is Mazda's entry in the small-crossover segment. With five seats and front- or all-wheel drive, it's one of the few small crossovers to offer a manual transmission. Trim levels are Sport, Touring and Grand Touring, and the CX-5 competes with the Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Toyota RAV4. New for 2014
A more powerful 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. The base Sport still uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
New available features include Pandora internet radio integration and a system that can display and read incoming text messages from a compatible smartphone as well as reply with a preset response. The CX-5 can also have Mazda's Smart City Brake Support system for the first time, which is designed to avoid or lessen the severity of a low-speed collision by automatically applying the brakes if the driver fails to do so. Exterior
The first vehicle to adopt Mazda's "Kodo" design language from 2010's Shinari concept, the CX-5 takes the brand's now-signature smiling grille and shapes it into a five-point scowl. Dual tailpipes, a raked rear window and a prominent roof spoiler distinguish the rear. Exterior features include:
- Standard 17-inch alloy wheels; 19-inch alloy wheels optional
- Body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn signals; heated side mirrors optional
- Optional adaptive bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights
- Optional fog lights
- Optional rain-sensing windshield wipers
- Optional power moonroof
The CX-5's simple dashboard has white backlit gauges and a vertical panel housing the center controls. The steering wheel has tilt and telescoping adjustments, as well as redundant audio controls.
The backseat folds with releases in the seatbacks and cargo area. An optional 40/20/40-split folding seat allows the center section to fold for narrow cargo. Cargo room behind the second row totals 34.1 cubic feet, with roughly 65 cubic feet of maximum space with the seats folded. Interior features include:
- Standard cloth upholstery; heated leather-trimmed seats optional
- Standard air conditioning; dual-zone automatic air conditioning optional
- CD stereo with MP3 jack and USB port; Bose premium stereo optional
- Cruise control
- Push-button start
- Optional 5.8-inch touch-screen
- Optional Bluetooth connectivity with streaming audio capability
- Optional TomTom-based built-in navigation system
Under the Hood
The CX-5's base engine is Mazda's SkyActiv 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which also goes in the Mazda3. A new SkyActiv 2.5-liter four-cylinder is optional. Mechanical features include:
- 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 150 pounds-feet of torque
- 184-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder makes 185 pounds-feet of torque
- Engines use regular gas
- Six-speed manual transmission (2.0-liter only) or six-speed automatic
- Front- or all-wheel drive
Safety features include:

Feel the rush of Niagara Falls in Ontario
Perching on the border between Canada and America, the city of Niagara Falls houses one of the world's most famous waterfalls. The Canadian side of the Falls sit in the "Golden Horseshoe" of Canada's Southern Ontario region, across from the New York sister city across the border. Take the opportunity to see the falls from the top, the thundering base on the lower Niagara River, or even from behind. At dusk, the Falls become a totally different attraction, with the neon reflections from the Fallsview Casino and the nightly rainbow light show illuminating the water. Take things up a notch afterwards with the amusements at Clifton Hill or a literally revolutionary meal in the rotating Skylon Tower.
Things to do
Niagara tours
Get an up-close and personal view of the Falls, with a ride on Maid of the Mist boat tour, venturing close enough to feel the mist of the water on your face. Alternatively, take a look from another angle behind the base of the great Horseshoe Falls, shooting down by elevator and strolling the observation decks at the Journey Behind The Falls experience.
Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens
Wildlife fans should check out the Butterfly Conservatory at Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens. As well as 40 acres of herb gardens, fragrant roses and sculpted hedgerows, this attraction features more than 2,000 butterflies flying free among the exotic blooms and greenery.
Queen Victoria Park
Queen Victoria Park sits opposite the Falls, contains unique plants from around the world, and is one of the best places to take a few panoramic photos of the Niagara River Gorge.
Shopping isn't neglected at Niagara Falls. Lundy's Landing includes the Canada One Factory Outlets with over 40 brand-name stores. The nearby neighborhood of Clifton Hills is filled with amusements and souvenir shops. For a decadent shopping excursion, head over to the Galleria at the Fallsview Casino Resort.
For a family dinner at Niagara, grab some pizza or go for one of the multiple buffets in the area, from Indian to Sushi to Brazilian fare. A fine dining experience is certainly different at the Skylon Tower's Revolving Dining Room: as you enjoy rock lobster or tenderloin steak, the view never stays still and you'll have the chance to see Niagara Falls from all 360 degrees.
Where to stay
Luxury hotels in the city of Niagara offer unparalleled views of the Falls, with many along Niagara Parkway like the Four Points Sheraton, Crowne Plaza and Embassy Suites all close enough to the gorge to practically hear the roar. Most attractions are within walking distance of the horseshoe curve of the city, and you can bag a bargain family stay from around $50 per night, right up to $130+ for towering 4-star suites.
Special events
Enjoy outdoor concerts in Montbello Park, energetic stunts and street performers careening on Clifton Hill, and fireworks as you cruise along the river. Niagara's summer season is filled with events.
In the fall, the Niagara Food Festival offers cuisine prepared by local restaurants and celebrity chefs. Later on in the year, guests enjoy the Festival of Lights, with over three million lights used to decorate the area, creating 125 animated displays.
Best time to visit
Summer is the best season to visit Niagara Falls. Average temperatures are in the 80s, and the activities are in full swing. With hotels busier and rates higher in June and July, fall is still a very smart time to plan a trip. Temperatures are cooling into the 60s, events are still planned, and crowds have thinned considerably. It's a great time to take advantage of hotel discounts as well.

for a change... a buy here? The P & G partnership looks interesting... the chart looks awful.
Teva is a sick puppy today. I think an over reaction being down 3.5%. If I had buying power I'd be nibbling some shares. Gotta be careful, there might be downgrades on that news.
Teva looks good in terms of it's value. If you like healthcare what about ESRX? It's a bit pricier.ESRX rev. growth ttm vs prior ttm= 82.18%TEVA by comparison= 15.99%Both look like good buys to me. Just different parts of the healthcare boat.
I've looked at ESRX from time to time, sure wish I'd been long years ago. 2009 presented one of the few good buying dips.But I still prefer TEVA since they produce a product rather than a service.... just me.
I have always been interested in ESRX but never bot. Could be a good opportunity now.
TEVA has been frustrating. I have kept a few shares long while trading in and out of the stock... which has worked well for me.I actually think the bottom is in.... lol. How many times have I said that ? I shorted the open at $50.30... looking for a gapfill down to $49.5. But likely I won't hold that trade overnight. Since I'm not sure exactly what this PG news will mean for TEVA, I'll be cautious on the short side. This is the type of news that could leave a gap.I also believe that LVS & TTM present good buys at current levels.
I know nothing about gambling (other than stock market) so I stay away from the stocks.India = GoodTata Motors - Very interesting

I need to invoke a method of a static class. This class in known only at runtime (it is a System.Type variable). I know that my method is implemented in class "MyObject". How do I invoke such method? Code that illustrates what I need to do is below. It may look a bit perverted but I swear I'll use this for good purposes and will not allow the Universe to implode.
public class MyObject
public static string ReturnUsefulStuff()
return "Important result.";
public class MyChildObject: MyObject
// Hey! I know about ReturnUsefulStuff() method too!
public class App
public void Main()
// The following type isn't supposed to be known at compile time.
// Except that it will always be MyObject type or its descendent.
Type TypeOfMyObject = typeof(MyChildObject);
// My erotic fantasy below. That line doesn't actually work for static methods
string Str = (TypeOfMyObject as MyObject).ReturnUsefulStuff();
// I know that type has this method! Come on, let me use it!
In Delphi, this can be achieved by declaring
// ...
// interface
Type TMyObjectClass = class of TMyObject;
// ...
// implementation
ClassVar := TMyChildObject;
Str := TMyObjectClass(ClassVar).ReturnUsefulStuff();
This works thanks to Delphi's "class of" construct. Compiler is aware that TMyObject has "ReturnUsefulStuff" and TMyChildObject is derived from it, and also it has the reference to the class in ClassVar. It's everything that is needed. C# doesn't have the notion of "class of", it only has The One System.Type that will (hardly) rule them all. Any suggestions? Will I be forced to use all kinds of ugly Reflection techniques?

The bulb bag includes a Velcro® strap, a foam rubber seal, a rubber
pouch and a tensioning clip (optional). A fluorescent bulb removal,
installation and storage device to contain glass shards and mercury in
case of breakage during bulb installation, replacement and storage. The
device is placed over the bulb and sealed by a foam and Velcro® seal
at the base of the bulb. This device will contain any glass shards and
mercury from escaping in case of accidental breakage during bulb
installation, replacement and storage.
1. A fluorescent bulb containment device, said fluorescent bulb containing
hazardous material comprising: A device having side walls and bottom
surface defining an interior area; a top seal comprised of a Velcro®
strap and foam rubber seal. This device positions over the bulb and is
secured to the porcelain base of said bulb. This device is a latex rubber
or vinyl plastic bag-type device at least 20-30 mil in thickness. It has
a Velcro® band around the outside of the open end and a dense foam
rubber seal on the inside of the open end. Upon accidental breakage this
device will contain any glass shards and mercury.
[0001]This application claims the benefit of our earlier filed provisional application No. 61/035,718
[0002]This invention is a containment device for compact fluorescent bulbs of many different styles, shapes and wattages. It is a flexible bag-type device that will easily conform to the shape of the bulb or the bag can be sized to fit the bulb for a specific consumer requirement. It will be secured at the base of the bulb by a Velcro® strap. Ideally, this device will be made of non-porous latex or latex-free rubber material and Velcro® strap material. However, other suitable material can be used as the system develops. The wall thickness will be substantial enough not to be punctured if breakage occurs during reasonable handling and use. The seal is ideally made of foam rubber or similar products and seals around the base of the bulb either by friction or the tightening of the Velcro® strap to create a positive seal. This device is reusable if the bulb remains intact during installation, removal and storage. If the bulb breaks during removal, installation or storage, is bag is not reusable. If breakage occurs the bag is to remain sealed around the base of the bulb and disposed of in compliance with federal, state and local regulations pertaining to hazardous mercury disposal. This device is not intended for use during the operation. This device can have a tension ring or can be produced without the tension ring.
[0003]The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein: is a perspective view of a first embodiment of Compact Fluorescent Bulb Installation, replacement and storage containment device comprising the present invention.

Stephen Francis O'Neill was an catcher, manager, coach and scout in Major League Baseball.
Born to Irish immigrants in Minooka, Pennsylvania (now a part of Scranton), O'Neill was one of six brothers who escaped a life in the coal mines by playing in the major leagues. Other notable members of the O'Neill family were Jack, a catcher in the National League (1902–06); Mike, a right-handed pitcher in the NL (1901–04, 1907); and Jim, an infielder with the American League Washington Senators (1920, 1923). Baseball historian William C. Kashatus noted that Michael and Jack "would become the first brother battery in major league history". The O'Neill brothers "were known to exchange their signals in Gaelic in order to fool the opposing coaches". Later, two of Steve O'Neill's daughters married professional baseball players, one of whom was Skeeter Webb, who worked for O'Neill when he managed the Detroit Tigers during the 1940s.
Steve had by far the most successful playing career of the O'Neill brothers, serving as a catcher for 17 years in the American League. He played with the Cleveland Indians (1911–23), Boston Red Sox (1924), New York Yankees (1925), and St. Louis Browns (1927–28). His playing career curtailed by an injury sustained in a car accident, O'Neill compiled a batting average of .263 in 1,586 games, and, in his only World Series appearance in 1920, hit .333 in seven games as the backstop for the world champion Indians.
When his playing career ended, O'Neill turned to managing and gained a reputation for cultivating talented young players, some of whom went on to become Hall of Famers. He managed the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League from 1929 to 1931. As a major league manager with four teams—the Indians (1935–37), Tigers (1943–48), Red Sox (1950–51) and Philadelphia Phillies (1952–54)—O'Neill never had a losing record. His Tigers won the 1945 World Series (when they defeated the Chicago Cubs in the Cubs' last Fall Classic appearance) and O'Neill was known for turning around under-performing teams, often in mid-season. His career winning percentage over 14 seasons was a stalwart .559 (1,040 victories against 821 lost). He also served as a coach for Cleveland, Detroit and Boston. Legendary players who benefited from O'Neill's guidance included Lou Boudreau, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Robin Roberts. O'Neill was inducted into the International League Hall of Fame.
O'Neill died at age 70 in Cleveland, Ohio, after suffering a heart attack. He is buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Minooka.
