Jack Russell Terriers are smarter than the average dog
From Pets reader Jeff Boies:
One night Madison and I were playing around and I was commanding her to speak then thought it would be cute to she if she could do something different so I said whisper. She barked softer and I thought it was a fluke so I said it again and she did it. After that I thought she deserved a treat so I placed it in one of my hands and made guess. Do you think she was able to? Watch the video to find out.To read more or comment...

Vacations and Working Long Hours when you have Pets
I used to commute sixty miles a day, five days a week to support my family. As an animal lover I have always had cats and in recent years a couple of dogs. When you have pets at home, and your employment demands you work longer hours, it quite challenging if you don't have friends or familly to help you out.
The doggy daycare business is growing rapidly because people are realize the importance of exercising and socializing their dogs. Separation anxiety (a behavior in dogs that causes the dog to be very destructive when the owner leaves) has caused many dogs to be given up to shelters. The behavior is interpreted as "bad behavior" instead of a condition that can be addressed and treated.To read more or comment...

Game Developer Creates Dog Fighting App
Google's android.com is allowing a game called Dog Wars to remain available for download. The game was created by Kage Games, LLC and is causing outrage among animal lovers, who are demanding that Google take down the game. According to Google's Android Market policies, "Android Market should not be used for unlawful purposes or for promotion of dangerous and illegal activities."
The dog in the game's logo is a cartoon Pit Bull with yellow eyes, a studded collar, cropped ears, and apparently a blood-covered muzzle. In the game, the controller trains a Pit Bull to fight and wins "virtual cash" by fighting other players' dogs. The controller also has a gun for police raids and can inject the dog with steroids.To read more or comment...

The Danger of "Free to a Good Home" Ads
For those who need to find a new home fast for a pet, posting a "Free to a Good Home" ad seems like the quickest way to get it done. But the practice is dangerous and often restricted.
Animal hoarders and animal dealers (people who sell dogs and cats to places like OSU for research experiments) love finding "Free to a Good Home" ads for obvious reasons. In fact, there is at least one very well-known animal dealer who makes a lot of money selling dogs to OSU. He's even licensed to do so.To read more or comment...

WATCH: Lady Gaga releases video for 'Applause'
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" where she also debuted the video for her new song, "Applause." Many Little Monsters, her fans, gathered in Times Square to cheer her on after missing Gaga for months.
Well, Gaga is back and better than ever in her new video, especially after her hip injury. Mother Monster rocks tons of different looks, showing off her very fit and in-shape bod, in her first music video in quite a while - and the first music video to her album ARTPOP. It's a masterpiece!
Whoever is Gaga's make-up/hair/wardrobe team certainly deserve some applause for this video too! Take a look at the many looks in her new video for "Applause."
The temptress:
The Bride of Frankenstein Mother Monster:
Lady in Black? or performance artist:
The blonde Morticia Addams:
The dark angel:
Hi. She's in a giant hat! Mad Hatter:
PLUS, she has a majestic unicorn tail!!
The gothic version of ARTPOP:
The Mermaid - she has a SEA SHELL BRA!
OMG she's a GOOSE! Lady Goose?
FYI, those aren't hands on her Lady parts - its a bra - MADE OF GLOVES! Genius.
And finally, the model - work that runway!

Scientist calculates where to go if a nuclear bomb hits
(NEWSER) – Good news: A mathematical model has been created that could help save your life in the event that your city is hit by a nuclear bomb. Scientist Michael Dillon's model, published today, is about reducing radiation risk from the bomb's fallout, and calculates "optimal shelter exit time." The longstanding advice has been to immediately seek shelter, ideally underground, if a bomb hits. But there is better and worse shelter—the latter being "lightweight" buildings (such as ones made of wood) or ones without basements; the AFP reports more than 20% of US homes fall into the worse category. Here is Dillon's determination for people living within 20 miles of a low-yield nuclear blast, meaning one a bit smaller than Hiroshima:
- If it would take five minutes or less to reach better shelter (that concrete basement, or the center of a large building, like a big office, reports LiveScience), bypass the more immediate shelter and go there straight away.
- If better shelter is 15 minutes away, stay in the worse shelter for up to 30 minutes, then head out.

Win women, win the midterms
You could be forgiven for looking at the 2014 election cycle and thinking you're watching a rerun of 2012. "The 1 percent! The war on women!" In the latest episode, the White House signed an executive order on federal salaries billed as promoting equal pay, as a part of its effort to keep the political gender gap working in their favor.
It makes sense that Democrats would want the coming election to be a replay of the last one. They won.
The "war on women" was an essential piece of the Democratic Party's 2012 playbook, and women broke by double-digits for President Obama on Election Day. Republicans were caught off-guard all campaign long and their response was atrocious. From "binders full of women" to the awkward silence in response to Todd Akin's comments about rape and pregnancy, Republicans handed Democrats round after round of ammunition.
It is a mathematic truth that "women decide elections," as we constitute the majority of voters, even in midterm elections. In the 2006 midterms, women made up 51 percent of the vote, and in 2010 that increased to 53 percent. The election that swept in Speaker Pelosi saw Democrats winning female voters by a 12-point margin, and the election that gave us Speaker Boehner had Republicans outperforming Democrats among women.
For all that Republicans are hoping the midterms are much closer to the 2010 election than 2012, the polls these days do show women have a very different take on the GOP than they did four years ago. While at this point in 2010, there waslittle difference between who men and women said they wanted to vote for in the midterms, the polls today show women still disinclined to vote Republican.
We know women will be critical on Election Day, and we know what Democrats' plan is to win them over. Do Republicans have a better response this time?

AMES, Iowa – Equine business professionals can connect with land-grant universities, equine business experts, networking opportunities and other invaluable resources by participating in a new dynamic, online short course series. The courses are a collaborative effort of North Central Region land-grand universities – Iowa State University, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, University of Nebraska, My Horse University and eXtension/horses.
"The horse industry is larger than many people realize – there are over 1 million horses and 162,000 horse farms in the North Central Region of the United States," said Peggy Miller-Auwerda, equine specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "It is estimated that 4.6 million Americans in the U.S. are involved in the horse industry as horse owners, service providers, employees and volunteers. Courses for these business professionals will benefit many people – including the 701,946 people directly employed in the industry."
Five courses will be offered with a focus on contract/employee labor law, liability issues, working with youth and volunteers, immigration documentation, and farm safety practices. Each course will consist of a webinar, interactive quiz, a decision tool and online resources. Live webinars will be held on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. EST beginning on Feb. 7 to coincide with the launch of each short course. All webinars will be recorded and available for viewing the next day.
Webcast speakers include experts from the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation at Iowa State University and a Michigan State University expert on worker safety. Upon completion of each course, participants will receive a certificate of completion.
The Equine Business short courses are offered free of charge, however, advance online registration is required. For registration information visit http://myhorseuniversity.com/ebn. The series is funded in part by a grant from the North Central Risk Management Education Center.
Equine industry professionals are also encouraged to join the Equine Business Network (EBN) community through Facebook and Twitter. Through partnerships with eXtension/horses and My Horse University, EBN offers additional free online resources and networking opportunities for equine businesses.

Some of the patients she visited have posted photos with Taylor to their social media pages. Jennifer Huff, the mother of one of the sick children there, posted an account of Taylor's visit to her Facebook page. She says the singer stayed on her daughter's floor for four-and-a-half hours, even though she was scheduled to move on after one. The mother called Taylor "a beautiful woman inside and out," adding that she stayed in their room for at least 20 minutes, and even took the time to Skype with the patient's sister.
Fighting childhood cancer has been a cause close to Taylor's heart for some time. In 2012, she wrote and released a single called "Ronan" based on one child's battle and donated all the proceeds to charity.

iPhone Uses More Power Than a Fridge
(NEWSER) – Is your iPhone running? Better shut it off, because that device is using more energy than your refrigerator. A new report says that a fridge uses just 322 kWh per year, compared with the 361 kWh for an iPhone, if you include its wireless connections, data usage, and battery charges, the Breakthrough Institute reports. But that's nothing compared to information and communications technology worldwide, which uses 10% of global electricity—and that's a low estimate. New trends like wireless broadband could make the figure even higher.

Rx for Obamacare: Take a Chill Pill
The Obamacare website deadline has come and gone. The site is mostly fixed, but politicians in both parties remain fixated. Democrats are running scared, while Republicans can hardly hide their glee.
Both sides have it exactly backward. The GOP should be terrified, and the Democrats need to grow a spine.
First, Republicans are on the wrong side of the issue. Americans support health-care reform—and not just a little bit. In no fewer than 12 CNN polls since March 2011, a clear majority, averaging 53 percent, either support the Affordable Care Act or think it does not go far enough, with an average of 38 percent opposing the law. These results are remarkably consistent over three years of intense polling. In the most recent round of polling, supporters outnumber opponents by a good 10 percent.
Unfortunately, when the press reports these results, the roughly 12 percent who think we should go further toward national single payer health care get lumped in with conservative opponents. Although it makes no sense, this simplistic line has been repeated ad nauseam until it has ossified into accepted fact. But President Obama knows the real numbers. That is why, despite being caught out with his "you can keep it" rhetoric, he is still comfortable holding a hard line.
Republicans' fixation on the Affordable Care Act has been very costly for them. Even though more than two-thirds of all Americans opposed their government shutdown strategy to defund Obamacare, the GOP leadership allowed radical Tea Party obstructionists to lead them off a political cliff. Why?

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Britney Spears - 'I'm A Slave 4 U'
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
In honor of Britney Spears' new video for her b**chn' new single "Work B**ch," let's throw it back to 2001 - "I'm A Slave 4 U."
This video single-handedly proves why Britney is a goddess. First of all, let's take a look at the title: "I'm A Slave 4 U." Where do we even begin? A: she uses the number 4 in place of "for" and U in place of "you." GENIUS! Why spell out the words when you can just use numbers and single letters?! And B: how can she just do this in 2001?! Because she's Britney b**ch, that's why! She probably revolutioned text messaging as we knew it back then.
Also, remember Brit's bod in this?! OH MY GODNEY. Just look at her muscles glisten. HELLO ABS!
"Oh hey y'all. Yeah, I wear underwear - OVER my leather jeans." She is solely the only person who can do this.
FINALLY, this was the year she performed "Slave 4 U" at the Video Music Awards WEARING A GIANT SNAKE around her neck. She looks like an Amazon jungle goddess! No fear - that snake knows who its master is.
And this is why we are all slaves for 4 Britney. Re-live the entire glorious video below:
If you haven't yet, watch her brand new video for "Work B**ch" below:

The You Yangs are a series of low granite ridges rising up to 300 m (at Flinders Peak) above the Werribee Plains, about 50 km WSW of Melbourne. The main ridge runs roughly N-S for about 9 km, with a lower extension running for about 15 km to the west.
Granite outcrops on the eastern face of the You YangsPhotographer: Bill Birch. Source: Museum Victoria
Contrary to popular belief, the You Yangs are not the remains of a volcano. The granite that forms them was originally a mass of magma that had worked its way up into the surrounding sedimentary rocks during a period of geological time known as the Devonian, when the land surface in Victoria was several kilometres higher than today. The magma crystallised before it reached the surface, so it did not produce any volcanic activity. Instead, a very slow cooling rate allowed many large white crystals of feldspar to form. These can be seen in many of the granite outcrops throughout the ranges. In places the crystals appear to be lined up, probably because the sticky magma was still moving around when they were growing. The rock enclosing the big feldspar crystals mainly contains crystals of greyish quartz and two black minerals (hornblende and a variety of mica known as biotite).
There are also some tiny crystals of two minerals, allanite and titanite, that contain radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium. Titanite crystals have been used to calculate that the You Yangs granite solidified 365 million years ago. In many places in the granite there are dark grey clots and lumps. These are called 'xenoliths' and are pieces of sedimentary rock that have been caught up and baked by the magma.
The land surface has been lowered by erosion over the millions of years since the granite solidified, so it is now exposed. Because it is a hard rock, it has resisted erosion better than the rocks that surrounded it. The size and shape of the rounded tors are controlled by fractures in the granite that resulted from slight shrinkage during cooling. Weathering and erosion of the granite has formed a blanket of sandy soil that covers any contacts with surrounding rocks.
View north from Flinders PeakPhotographer: Bill Birch. Source: Museum Victoria
The countryside surrounding the granite ridges is a lava plain. Known as the Werribee Plain, it forms part of the vast Western District Volcanic Plains that extend from Melbourne to the South Australian border. Volcanoes began erupting lava flows about 4.5 million years ago, and the youngest eruptions are only about 10 000 years old. There are over 400 mapped craters and vents on the plains. While all these individual volcanoes are extinct, the volcanic field itself is only dormant, so that a new eruption is possible at any time.
The nearest volcanoes are the Anakies, the three low hills on the western horizon. These all have summit craters and provided lava flows for the plains south of the You Yangs. There were also flows from the low volcanoes of Bald Hill and Spring Hill to the north. When these volcanoes were active, probably between 2 and 3 million years ago, the You Yangs would have been granite islands in a sea of lava.
The low wooded scarp along the western skyline is the Rowsley Fault, which has been active intermittently for millions of years. This fault is the western edge of a geological structure known as the Port Phillip Basin. Over millions of years, this basin has experienced periodic flooding by the sea, which is now represented by Port Phillip Bay. At a time of high sea level, perhaps a million years or so prior to the volcanic eruptions, the You Yangs would have been granite islands in a sparkling sea. Sands and gravels containing marine fossils occur along the southern edge of the granite ridges and mark the beaches and shorelines that formed at that time.
Hi Tnesha, thanks for your question. As you will read above, the You Yangs are not the remains of a volcano, but rather a mass of magma that worked its way up into the surrounding sedimentary rocks.
Hi Narelle, perhaps consider searching the Geoscience Australia website for information about volcanoes and volcanic eruptions, http://www.ga.gov.au/
Layla, yes, due to its nature as conglomerate rock, the substance that forms the You Yangs is slowly eroding over time as a result of natural causes. Hope this helps!
Hi Codie, the You Yangs faces a number of threats such as increased fire risk with drought conditions. Also being a small 'island' of vegetation in a largely cleared landscape it makes the You Yangs vulnerable to pest plant and animal invasion. This isolation from other areas of native vegetation means some species may not be able to recolonise if lost due to fire or other threats. The closeness of this park to Melbourne and its popularity with the public can also place pressures on the environment. Parks Victoria has more information about this park.
Hi Rebecca, Parks Victoria manage the You Yangs and the Parks Vic website gives more information about the flora and fauna of this park.
Hi Peterjohn,
Parks Victoria manage the You Yangs. If you go the Parks Victoria website, you will find more information.
Hi Kane,
The You Yangs is a regional park managed by Parks Victoria, no mining therefore takes place.

There will be a noticeable step up in competition and spotlight when Ohio State plays its Big Ten opener at Michigan State Saturday.
The eyes of the college football nation will be on East Lansing with ESPN's College GameDay in town. Expect an overarching story to be on the Buckeyes being undefeated but ineligible for postseason play.
But the Spartans will represent the biggest challenge for Ohio State this season. The Buckeyes have only played one FBS opponent this season – a 1-3 California team they held off 35-28.
The Buckeyes have yet to put together a game where both the offense and defense have performed well. That's not as concerning against the likes of UAB or Central Florida. But against Michigan State, it could become an issue. The Buckeyes' offense struggled greatly against the Spartans in a 10-7 loss a season ago.

COLUMBUS Through four games and four victories, Ohio State's defense has faced a continual drumbeat of short passes, quick routes, screens and sweeps.
Every opponent, it seems, has relied on sleight of hand.To read more or comment...
When it was revealed two weeks ago that Ohio State could still win the Leaders Division of the Big Ten, coach Urban Meyer said he was happy that possibility remained but that his team had far too much to worry about before that loomed very large.
Now, apparently, it's looming very large.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: There are wins and then there are small victories.
Garrick McGee has to settle for the latter.
In his first season as the coach at UAB, he's trying to upgrade a program that has struggled in the transition in the public's perspective from sneaky-good basketball power to big-time football contender. He knows he doesn't have as much talent as No. 16 Ohio State does coming into Saturday's game at Ohio Stadium.
So McGee measures a season in incremental improvements. That's what you do when your team is 0-2 and a 37-point underdog.To read more or comment...
At a news conference earlier this week, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer announced that running back Carlos Hyde and defensive lineman Michael Bennett are sitting out Saturday's game against UAB.
Hyde is recovering from a knee ligament sprain and Bennett has a groin injury. Meyer told reporters that defensive lineman John Simon was limited in practice with a shoulder injury, but is expected to play.To read more or comment...

Urban Meyer's praise of sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller is effusive.
After referring to him as "a hell of a player," the Ohio State head coach thinks Miller is more talent than Tim Tebow.
In an interview with Lori Schmidt of 97.1-FM The Fan, here's what Meyer had to say comparing the two:
"Very similar guys," Meyer said. "They're both competitive human beings. They're both very talented people. Braxton has more talent. Tim is probably more of a grinder."To read more or comment...

The game will be Ohio State's first on the road after playing four non-conference games at home, all of which started at noon. The Buckeyes host UAB on Saturday.
Four other start times are known: 8 p.m. at home against Nebraska on Oct. 6, 8 p.m. at Indiana on Oct. 13, 6 p.m. at Penn State on Oct. 27 and noon in the annual rivalry game with Michigan at Ohio Stadium on Nov. 24.To read more or comment...

BUCKEYES BUZZ: Urban Meyer has become Braxton Miller's biggest booster.
Speaking at his weekly news conference on Monday, Meyer heaped praise on his QB in a lengthy, impassioned speech.
"If you really studied the game with the copies we have, he delivers punishment; he goes hard. He's a hell of a football player," Meyer said. "I mean, I think, a hell of a football player. Better than even everybody in this country thinks right now. That's how good I think Braxton Miller is."

For the second consecutive week, quarterback Braxton Miler's legs led Ohio State to a win.
The sophomore again led the Buckeyes in rushing yards with 140, leading Ohio State (2-0) to a 31-16 win over Central Florida (1-1). On the game, Miller accounted for all four of Ohio State's touchdowns, with three running and one on the ground.
Miller was efficient throwing the ball, completing 19 of 25 passes for 168 yards. Miller got OSU's scoring started early with a 37-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.
Central Florida tied the game 10-10 in the second quarter on a Blake Bortles touchdown pass to Justin Tukes. But Ohio State scored three unanswered touchdowns to put the game out of reach in the third quarter.
What stood out:To read more or comment...
An Ohio team will host Central Florida for the second consecutive week. Last week it was Akron, now it's Ohio State.
The Buckeyes are coming off a 56-10 win against Miami (Ohio), but should face a tougher task against UCF. This will be the first time the two teams will meet, but it's not the first time OSU coach Urban Meyer has faced UCF. In 2006, his Florida Gators beat UCF.
The tougher test for OSU will be because of the talent on UCF''s roster. The Knights have a legit talent at quarterback in Blake Bortles. Yes, it was against the Zips, but Bortles looked good in the opening week against Akron. He completed 13 of 16 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns running shotgun and pro-style formations. He has NFL size and an arm to complete passes all over the field. Late in the Akron game, UCFalso played backup Tyler Gabbert. His brother, Blaine Gabbert, starred at Missouri before being a first-round draft pick.
The Knights are expected to be without running back Latavius Murray, who had 108 yards last week. He'll be replaced by Storm Johnson, a former top recruit at Miami.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Even though Penn State and Ohio State are banned from playing in the Big Ten title game or a bowl as part of NCAA sanctions, both are still eligible to win the conference's Leaders Division and receive a trophy this season.
The Big Ten office confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that the Nittany Lions (0-1) and 14th-ranked Buckeyes (1-0) could still be officially recognized as division champs. Neither can play in the Big Ten title game, however.To read more or comment...
Ohio State rises from 18th to 14th in the new Associated Press college football poll, released today.
Following a 41-14 loss to Alabama, Michigan dropped from eighth last week to 19th.
For the Buckeyes, of course, polls this season are meaningless since the team isn't eligible for the postseason. Here's the full top 25:
1. Alabama (45) 1-0
4. Oregon 1-0
5. Oklahoma 1-0
6. Florida State
7. Georgia 1-0
8. Arkansas 1-0
9. West Virginia 1-0
9. South Carolina 1-0
11. Michigan State 1-0
12. Clemson 1-0
13. Wisconsin 1-0
14. Ohio State 1-0
15. Virginia Tech 1-0
16. Nebraska 1-0
17. Texas 1-0
18. Oklahoma State 1-0
19. Michigan 0-1
21. Kansas State 1-0
22. Notre Dame 1-0
23. Louisville 1-0
24. Florida 1-0
25. Stanford 1-0
COLUMBUS: Not so long ago, college football players with time on their hands would pick up an Xbox game controller.
Now, instead of playing a simulated college or pro game, Ohio State's players most likely reach for their iPad — and a scouting report on their real upcoming opponent.
"That's something guys utilize a lot now," Buckeyes starting right tackle Reid Fragel said. "Whether we're just bored, have some down time, whatever. It's something that we can just pull out and they send us the practice film and the game film within hours after we're done, so it's up and we have easy access to it. It's great."
Each Buckeye has an iPad that allows him to watch clips personally tailored for him and his position, both from the last Ohio State game or practice, as well as to preview an upcoming opponent. The coaches are able to draw up specific plays and emphasize techniques and talking points that are sent to their position groups. There are breakdowns by down and distance, personnel and other game data.
The iPads were provided free as loaners this fall to all 1,100 or so Ohio State student-athletes. The university's intention was to enhance tutoring and mentoring services, but the tablets have become a valuable coaching and communication tool for the 14th-ranked Buckeyes.To read more or comment...
Expectedly, it was a decisive victory in Urban Meyer's head coaching debut for Ohio State. The Buckeyes tallied 35 second half points to dispatch the Miami RedHawks 56-10.
In the win, sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller perhaps started a march toward the Heisman Trophy, combining for more than 360 yards and three total touchdowns on the day.
The Ohio State ground game had 294 yards on the day, with Miller having 161 and Carlos Hyde finishing with 82 and two touchdowns.
What stood out:
Against Miami, Miller looked more comfortable throwing the ball than he did a season ago. He completed more than 50 percent off his passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns. Seven different OSU receivers caught passes. But more impressively, he ran the ball for 161 yards and another touchdown.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Years ago when Woody Hayes prowled Ohio State's sideline, the Buckeyes would line up against some overmatched, undersized team and thick-necked farmboys would open up gaping holes for speedy backs.
Six or eight or even 10 touchdowns later, Hayes would call off the dogs and start gameplanning for the next victim.
But the man who holds Hayes' job now says that era of physical domination by teams is all but over.
"The days of anybody really just rolling over someone is more and more difficult than it ever has been," said Urban Meyer, who makes his debut as Ohio State's 24th head coach on Saturday against Miami (Ohio). "Because there is parity in college football."
There are a lot of reasons that teams don't run up lopsided scores like Ohio State did in beating TCU 62-0 in 1969, Wisconsin 56-0 in 1975 and 56-7 over Minnesota in 1973.To read more or comment...

More vets turn to prosthetics to help legless pets
LOS ANGELES: A 9-month-old boxer pup named Duncan barreled down a beach in Oregon, running full tilt on soft sand into YouTube history and showing more than 4 million viewers that he can revel in a good romp despite lacking back legs.
"It's a heartwarming, wonderful thing to see," said Dr. Bonnie Beaver, a professor at Texas A&M University's College of Veterinary Medicine and executive director of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. "These animals generally look to us as if they are very happy. We don't know that they are, but they are excited and jumping around and doing things that are wonderful to watch."To read more or comment...

PHOTO: Naomi Judd added to Kentucky Walk Of Legends
Naomi Judd is now in the Kentucky Walk of Legends. Louisville's "Courier-Journal" says the country singer and actress was officially added Saturday with a ceremony in which she left her hand prints and signature in cement.
Naomi says she's pleased to see Kentucky embracing the film industry. Her Walk of Legends induction took place in conjunction with the Louisville International Festival of Film, during which her latest film, "The Nearlyweds" was screened.
Judd says "The Nearlyweds" is one of several films she's recently shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. She admits her experiences working in Canada have been great, but she'd love to see movies made in Kentucky.
Naomi explains that the Bluegrass State has "such gorgeous visuals, and the people here are so friendly." Naomi adds that she was thrilled to learn that some of the schools in the area are starting to develop film and visual arts programs.

See Ellen DeGeneres' wedding gift to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Fancy juicers and fine china go a long way as wedding gifts, but it wouldn't be a present from Ellen DeGeneres if it didn't elicit a few laughs.
Frequent guest Justin Timberlake popped by Ellen's couch to promote his "Legends of Summer" tour (the interview will air on Thursday), and we've got a sneak peek at the novelty gift she gave the singer to mark his marriage to Jessica Biel.
"You and I have known each other a long time, and I wanted you to have something very special for your wedding," DeGeneres said, as two staffers carried out a gilded portrait of Ellen and Justin staring intently at one another.
Timberlake chuckled at the gift, adding, "We don't have anything over the bed yet!"
JT also stuck around to belt out "Mirrors" and "Pusher Love Girl," during which DeGeneres hopped on stage and joined him in some choreography.
Watch Justin's performance of "Mirrors":

The GOP Is Still Chained to the Base
Almost everyone agrees that the Republican Party's debt-ceiling brinksmanship is dangerous to the economy. That includes economists, who agree that it could derail the recovery and plunge the country into a second recession; former GOP officials, who call their party's behavior irresponsible; and House leaders like Speaker John Boehner, who agrees that Congress needs to lift the debt ceiling and protect the economy.
Despite this, Republicans are prepping demands for their consent. According tothe Washington Examiner, House Republicans are set to deliver a ransom note of conservative policies that range from construction of the Keystone pipeline and expansion of off-shore energy production to Medicare means-testing and GOP-friendly tax reform. It's hostage taking, plain and simple. Either Democrats concede to the GOP's extortionist demands, or Republicans blow up the economy.
The GOP's plain hope is that this will yield them a policy win and do lasting damage to Barack Obama's presidency. But there's no reason to believe this is true. Yes, when Republicans tried this two years ago, they won substantial spending cuts, and, yes—in the aftermath of the debt-ceiling crisis—Obama looked vulnerable. But it wasn't long before the president regained his popularity and hammered Republicans for their behavior. The GOP's popularity sank to new lows, and it's not a stretch to think that the party's failure in last year's congressional elections—where it lost seats in the House and blew a shot at winning the Senate—has a lot to do with its brinksmanship.

Pokemon Diamond Version offers a combination of 2D and 3D graphics and revolves, as all Pkemon titles do, around the finding and collecting of Pokemon. Certainly enjoyable for Pokemon addicts but perhaps less so for others. The touch screen mechanics may not live up to expectations.
Nintendo DS
The game has a colorful presentation which blend 2D and 3D.The soundtrack is excited and the game introduces online play which lets you play, chat and talk with other players. The game is long with a single-player story. The game also has more than 100 poken. With all these good things about the game, there is the negative side of it. The game underwhelming touch-screen controls. If you are playing it online you may be hampered by accessibility issues. There is also recycling of some of the sounds and visual graphics from the older Pokemon games.
The Pokemon Diamond and Pearl has a lot of fans, the game has detailed presentation. The game starts up as any other of the Pokemon games. You play as either a boy or a girl who living in and out of hamlet of Twinleaf Town in the region of Sinnoh. Then you and your friend are sent to the world by Professor Rowan to collect a lot of data on the Pokemon that live in the region, you do this by fighting and capturing. As you travel, you will fight plenty of Pokemon and other Pokemon trainer like you will also be fighting and scattered all over Sinnoh. Diamond and Pearl introduce the odd and shadowy Team Galactic. This is a Pokemon invested organization and you should be ready to battle with it. You will meet hundreds of people in each has a story to tell you.
You will start of with one Pokemon who is your substitute in the battle. You may be the leader in the game but you will need your proxy to lift heavy loads for you. You will regularly be attacked by the wild Pokemon as you move through forests, tall grasses and underground caves. If you are able to bring down their health, and will end up taming them and making them your companions. You can have six Pokem at one go, with each of them having mastered four different abilities. As they earn experience the abilities are also earned, else you can use technical machines to teach them tricks .When your Pokemon grow stronger, and they can evolve into new stronger Pokemon.
You should have all your Pokemon equally strong so as to avoid attacks on the weaker ones. Ensuring that your team is well balance will prevent this. The game is more involving because you are always on the run to capture Pokémon and have them in your team. Apart from capturing and fighting, there are other activities. You will harvest, plant berries, even cook special meals for your Pokémon. You will find the games to be too long as they can take up to forty hours.

Slain US Teacher Was Days Away From Leaving Libya
(NEWSER) – Ronnie Smith was supposed to be headed home to America for the holidays this week. Instead, the 33-year-old chemistry teacher was shot dead while jogging in Libya this morning. Smith, a US citizen, had taught at the International School in Benghazi for a year and a half and was "very much loved," the school principal tells NBC News. Smith can be seen interacting with students on his Twitter feed: In the last exchange posted, an apparent student tweeted at him yesterday, "Knowing im getting 100% on my sci exam tomorrow makes me soo happy @ISBchem right?" He responded: "yep. I already recorded it. 10%."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 reviewBy Ben Boswell - Thursday February 14 2013 Sensor Review
Hybrid is a word used both positively and negatively, quite appropriate for the photographic industry. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 wears this badge: "Hybrid", a mix of system and compact. It has a range of lenses spanning 7mm to 300mm (equivalent to 14mm up to 600mm in full frame 35mm) and a body that is not much bigger than a compact camera. Should it wear it with pride? Yes, it should…
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 is a small 4:3 camera, weighing in at 544g when fitted with its "default" lens, the Lumix G Vario 14/42mm f3.5-5.6 Aspherical. The 4:3 sensor gives the equivalent focal length for full frame 35mm exactly double. This particular 4:3 sensor is 16 MPix.
The GH3 has all that you would expect from a camera aimed at the serious enthusiast, plus a few unusual extras like 3D capture if you buy the interchangeable H-FT012E 12mm 3D lens. Images can be recorded as jpeg or RAW, Single capture or bursts of up to 20 frames per second (depending on the resolution set). There is no Image stabilization built into the camera but many of the lenses, including the 14/42 are equipped with IS. The monitor screen is not massively high resolution at 614K but it is fully articulated and touch sensitive, allowing for features like touch AF which lets you to choose the focus point on the screen by simply touching it.
The styling is like a small SLR camera, but the view through the viewfinder is of a 1.4Mpix equivalent monitor, so like other hybrid cameras, there is no mirror to be flipped out of the way between viewing and capture. The video capture is full HD: 1080p and with the wide range of lenses available this makes for quite a versatile camera. The lenses are Micro 4:3 mount, so there are Panasonic's own lenses and offerings from a host of other makers across a wide range of budgets.

1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder
Thanks for the great review. You mentioned that the GH3 had a 1.4 Mpix viewfinder (same as the Olympus EM-5 and other previous Lumix cameras) but it in fact has a 1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder. It must be the OLED because there is no comparison between this excellent viewfinder and the others. It is so good in fact, that I far prefer this WYSIWYG viewfinder to our Nikon 5100 optical viewfinder. Along with its smaller silent focus lenses and great video, it is truly the "Goldilocks" camera for serious photographers and videographers. There is no other camera like it!

Same sensor
"Color depth at 22.7 is excellent, Dynamic Range at 12.4 EV it best in class and ISO at 812 is only just behind the two Olympus cameras."
Actually, all of them are within a margin of error of your tests, so it is 99.9% the same sensor as the 3 2012 Olympuses (E-M5, E-PM2, E-PL5).
DR of 12.4 EV is curios as the cameras have 12 bit RAW format. :)

Mistake in the review of GH3.
There is a mistake here: "The video capture is full HD: 1080i". The video is actually 1080p, and 60p if needed.

Re: Mistake in the review of GH3.
Thanks for letting us know. We are going to correct it as soon as possible, but video is not what we test as we focus on RAW. :)
Added by RickPick | February 14 , 2013
Test should mention (at least) the video features
When comparing the GH3 with other mirrorless hybrid cameras (price/performance) the video features of the GH3 should also be included in the comparison. The video specs are far better than any other hybrid or DSLR camera except at a much higher price.

Horrific details about abuse in Cleveland kidnapping case coming out during sentencing hearing
(Cleveland, OH) -- A Cleveland police officer, an FBI agent and an emergency room doctor are among those testifying at today's sentencing hearing for Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro. Officer Barbara Johnson described the moment she and another officer found Michelle Knight, who had been held captive for years in Castro's home.
Prosecutors are calling a series of witness as they document the terrible abuse three young women endured while being held prisoner by Castro. Assistant prosecuting attorney Blaise Thomas told the court it was necessary to provide some detail of the "horrendous offenses" committed by Castro to justify a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Defense attorney Craig Weintraub had objected to providing graphic information about Castro's offenses, saying he had already pleaded guilty to more than 900 criminal counts.
Dr. Gerald Maloney said all three victims suffered multiple rapes:

Former child star Shirley Temple dies
Former child star Shirley Temple is dead at 85.
The actress, who was known throughout her adult life as Shirley Temple Black, died of natural causes yesterday in her California home.
Her family released a statement that reads, "We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black."
Temple was well-known for her roles in 1930s films such as "Bright Eyes," "Curly Top," and "Heidi." She captivated the public in four major box office draws before the age of ten.
The actress holds the 18th spot on the American Film Institute's list of the all-time greatest female screen legends.
Temple retired from the film industry at 22 before pursuing a career as a foreign diplomat. She served as the U.S. ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia and became the first female Chief of Protocol of the United States.

Singers Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio have "The X Factor."
Fox confirmed reports about two joining Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato on the judges' panel Monday. Cowell, who is a producer for the show, chimed in, saying, "It's taken more than a decade but I'm delighted to finally be on a panel with three girls (I think!)." Cowell also praised Paulina and Kelly's "great taste" and "massive experience in the music industry."
Rowland, who sat in as a judge on the U.K. version of the singing competition says she's very excited to be reuniting with Simon and "The X Factor" family. The Destiny's Child singer added that it "feels great to be able to take this journey here at home in the states." Rubio, who has served as a coach on "The Voice Mexico," says she loves "The X Factor" and jokingly warned Simon he should be careful what he wishes for in bringing her on board.
Rowland and Rubio replace Britney Spears and L.A. Reid who both exited the show after the second season. The third season of "The X Factor" will premiere in September. Shooting for the new season is scheduled to begin Tuesday with auditions in Charleston, South Carolina.

On to today's post ~ I used to sew and gave up due to lack of patience and skill, but felt inspired to dust off my sewing machine again. Here's a little something that I worked on recently:
I've done simpler alterations in the past such as slimming shirts and taking in the waist on a skirt. Never had I worked on a blazer, and especially not one with lining. I gingerly took apart one sleeve and tried to learn by retracing the steps of how it was assembled. As you can see in the above pics, such an alteration can make a tremendous difference in the overall silhouette of a garment.
I think I got the hang of it after one sleeve, and took step-by-step photos the second time around. Warning: Please note that I am an amateur and I'm sure there are better and more efficient ways to do this. The remainder of this post is picture-heavy and sleeve-focused so continue scrolling at your own risk of dozing off...
1. If you're not an experienced sewer, start with an inexpensive blazer that you won't weep over if you accidentally slice or botch it. Turn the blazer inside out and use a seam ripper or sharp scissors to take apart a few inches of the lining seam (enough for your hand to fit inside comfortably). Make this hole about a few inches above the sleeve opening.
2. If you are only slimming the sleeves, then the side hole made in step 1 is all you need. If you are also shortening the sleeve length or only shortening the sleeve length, then take apart the seams connecting the lining to the outer material.
3. While the blazer is still inside-out, push the sleeve lining up near the shoulders and out of your way.
4. Measure a blazer that fits you well, and mark the one being altered with fabric chalk. Note that sleeves should not be the same width from top to bottom. It should be wider at the armpit opening and taper down by the wrist. I marked the following using a Theory blazer as a guide: 5.5" across by the armpit, 4.5" across by the elbow, and 4" across at the wrist opening.
5. Use a rule or straight edge to draw a fluid line, then pin. I hate using pins and always stab myself, but they serve to keep the two layers of fabric from moving around.
6. SEW in a uniform stitch along the chalked/pinned line. Remove pins before they get near the machine.
7. Trim off the excess leaving about half an inch beyond the stitch, otherwise the extra material could look bulky. If you have a serger, you can use it now to prevent the raw edges from fraying, or do a zig zag stitch on a regular sewing machine.
8. Iron down the freshly trimmed edges from the inside and then also from the outside. Ironing is critical to sewing. If this seam was not ironed down, then it will not look crisp and smooth from the outside.
9. Measure out your ideal sleeve length, trim then fold down the material, and iron to keep it in place.
10. Pull the lining back down and trim off the extra length as well. Leave about an inch of length between lining and the end of the sleeve, fold the lining under, and then iron to keep in place.
11. Now our sleeve and lining are ready to be joined. This was the trickiest step for me. Using one hand, go THROUGH the hole we created in step #1 to carefully pin the edge of the lining and the raw edge of the outer material together. Make sure the pin is not poking through the inner lining NOR the outer material.
12. I have no idea how to clearly describe this next step. Insert your hand again through the hole created in step #1, and pull the raw edges of the outer + lining (should be pinned together) THROUGH the hole.
13. After you pull the entire wrist through the little side hole, it should make a full circle. Sew along the pins.
14. After you're done sewing around the circumference of the sleeve opening, insert the end of the sleeve back through the side opening, so it's back to normal. Steps 9-13 are how I joined the lining to the sleeve without any visible stitching from the outside.
15. Now, try on your blazer. Re-do the sleeve width or length if necessary, always ironing it smooth afterwards. Once you are satisfied with the alterations, we can close the little lining hole made in step 1. At this point I was too tired to learn an invisible stitch, so I just used pink thread and stitched the lining shut from the outside.
16. Lastly, (optional) I secured the sleeve length with a light hand stitch using the same colored thread.

Browns Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow is appealing his one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team that will force him to sit out Sunday's game at Jacksonville. Winslow's publicist, Denise White of EAG Sports Management, confirmed the appeal to the Associated Press Wednesday.
The NFL Players Association referred all calls on Winslow to Adam Kaiser, an outside counsel handling the matter. Kaiser was not immediately available for comment.To read more or comment...
- Akron Beacon Journal (Marla Ridenour): Capital punishment - Akron Beacon Journal (Marla Ridenour): Winslow's complaint 'bigger than the game' - Canton Repository (Steve Doerschuk): Defense improves each week - News-Herald (Jeff Schudel): Anderson should keep job for another week - Plain Dealer (Terry Pluto): Browns season quickly becoming pointless - Richmond Times-Dispatch (Paul Woody): Skins can succeed in survival mode - What I'm saying today: Really, who didn't expect this to happen? When someone complains to you about being a pessimistic Cleveland sports fan, point to this game. As good as their record may be, the Redskins are a beatable team for the Browns. Apparently, Derek Anderson, Braylon Edwards and the run defense couldn't figure that out.
Just forget what happened in the fourth quarter. This was embarrassing. Anderson does not look like a starting quarterback. Edwards needs a serious ego (and hand) check. The run defense is just atrocious. Perhaps Kamerion Wimbley should only be in the game during pass rush situations because he's a serious liability against the run.
More on this game to come. Maybe from me, maybe from Luke. Kudos to Leon Williams for a good game and Kellen Winslow for just getting out there.
Oh, before I forget, Romeo Crennel needs to go. It doesn't matter when, this team isn't making the playoffs.
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow, who missed Monday night's victory over the New York Giants with an undisclosed illness, was active for Sunday's game at Washington.
Winslow's condition landed him in the Cleveland Clinic for three nights; he was released last Sunday.To read more or comment...
Browns coach Romeo Crennel said strong safety Sean Jones was ''frisky'' in his first full practice Wednesday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Sept. 11. If he's able to start Sunday against the Washington Redskins, Mike Adams will go back to his role as the nickel back.
Adams, who had only 18 career starts in four years going into this season, is grateful for his five games in the lineup.To read more or comment...

What I'm saying today: First, thanks to everyone who stopped by for the live blog. It was a lot of fun.
The game was certainly entertaining, but the final score is deceiving. Still, Derek Anderson looked good, Braylon Edwards made a lot of big plays and Jamal Lewis was running hard. I'll have more thoughts throughout the week and Luke may as well.
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow (undisclosed illness), right tackle Kevin Shaffer (concussion) and defensive end Shaun Smith (hand surgery) were among the inactives for Monday night's game against the Giants.
They will be replaced in the lineup by Steve Heiden, Ryan Tucker and Louis Leonard, respectively.To read more or comment...
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow was released from the Cleveland Clinic Sunday after being hospitalized for three days with an undisclosed illness. But he was downgraded to doubtful for Monday night's game against the New York Giants.
Winslow was admitted to the clinic Thursday, but coach Romeo Crennel refused to give details on the four-year veteran's condition. Winslow leads the team in receiving with 19 catches for 170 yards and a TD. He will likely be replaced by 10-year veteran Steve Heiden, who has just one catch for 9 yards in 2008.To read more or comment...

Raiders Fan Saves Stadium Jumper - With Own Body
(NEWSER) – When a woman jumped from the third floor of the Oakland Coliseum to the second-floor concourse, a man was there to break her fall; both ended up hospitalized, but police say the man saved the woman's life. After spotting the woman about to jump following yesterday's Raiders game, the man and a friend had tried to talk her down, the LA Times reports. She jumped anyway, and ultimately, the man broke her 50-foot fall using his own body.
