Cancer treatments are literally lifesavers. But they can also cause physical, emotional and social issues that affect your quality of life. Levine Cancer Institute partners with many convenient rehabilitation facilities to provide patients with comprehensive cancer rehabilitation—physician-supervised programs specifically for people who have undergone treatment for all types of cancer.
These programs address the individual needs of patients and their particular type of cancer, and can often improve function, reduce pain and improve overall well-being.
We want to see our patients regain as much independence as possible and improve their quality of life. This includes managing pain, building strength through exercise, improving bowel and bladder function and keeping patients out of the hospital. Rehabilitation may include:
Lymphedema is a common side effect of cancer treatment and is the accumulation of fluid in the arms and legs resulting from damaged lymphatic vessels. Levine Cancer Institute partners with occupational therapists (OTs) and physical therapists (PTs) specially trained and certified in lymphedema treatment.
Treatment commonly includes manual lymph drainage, skin care, exercise and compression bandaging which can be provided in an inpatient or outpatient setting. For more information about cancer rehabilitation or the lymphedema program, call 1-877-REHAB51 (877-734-2251).
*All offerings are not available at each Levine Cancer Institute facility site. Please visit our cancer events page for more information.

Unborn baby hiccups?
I think my baby hiccups several times per day. They are strong beats that last for 3-5 minutes. I am wondering if this is completely normal. How can I prevent these and does my sleeping position/posture affect this?

Hi iyah80,
These hiccups are completely normal and as far as I know there's nothing you can do about them. I haven't heard that sleeping positions or posture can affect this. I think it's just a normal part of baby's development in utero. I know they can be annoying at times, but it's normal for baby to do this.
Warm Regards,

Fantasia says she considered quitting music
Listen to Fantasia on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Fantasia was considering getting out of the music business before she began working on her new album, Side Effects of You.
"I was at a place where I wasn't really ready to record and wasn't sure if I wanted to record anymore because I didn't want to do anything that I wasn't true to," she says in Part 2 of her three-part interview with Yahoo! Music. "I was almost done, like, 'That's OK. I'll pass. I'd rather go home, be a mom and not even deal with it anymore.'"
Fantasia's A&R executive Keith Naftaly had an idea that he believed would renew her faith in making music. He suggested pairing the soul siren with London producer Harmony Samuels, who has worked with Jennifer Hudson, Chris Brown and Brandy.
Fantasia and Harmony immediately clicked when they met in London. "It was free, smooth sailing. It was like I've known him all my life," she recalls. "I knew that's where I was supposed to stay."
Harmony produced 13 of the 14 songs on Side Effects of You, an album that showcases a wide range of her emotions. She pays homage to the Commodores ("Lose to Win"), Stevie Wonder ("Ain't All Bad") and Whitney Houston ("Change Your Mind"). She dismisses her detractors on "Lighthouse," makes a plea for emotional freedom on "If I was a Bird," celebrates relationship highs on "Supernatural Love" and lows on number of other songs.

Today's report by ADP and Moody's Analytics shows "good, consistent job creation across the board," says Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi in a conference call. The U.S. economy added 191,000 private-sector jobs in March, up from February's 178,000—which was previously reported as 139,000—and January's 121,000.
The construction industry added 20,000 jobs over the month—up from an average of 16,000 over the prior three months. In last month's report, Zandi attributed slow growth in the construction industry to the effects of bad weather. This month's report reflects that the "job market is coming out from its deep winter slumber," he says in a press releaseweaetxdyvaydzcwq. "Job gains are consistent with the pace prior to the brutal winter."
The manufacturing industry saw little growth, as the economy added a mere 5,000 jobs—the same as February. This is, however, a significant improvement from January's loss of 11,000 manufacturing jobs.
The professional and business services sector, a broad category that most likely includes architects and engineers, rose by 53,000 jobs. This follows January's increase of 29,000 and February's 49,000.
Zandi predicts that in the next three months as temperatures continue to climb, so will job numbers. He expects total employment to grow by over 200,000 in the private sector in the near future.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report is scheduled for release on Friday morning, providing more detailed information about the economic state of the construction and architecture fields.

Versus Spring 2012
After three weeks of more sports references than a talking head on ESPN can rattle off, why hadn't it dawned on any of us to consider cheerleaders? It seems so obvious now. They're usually women, they wear skirts, they like accessories. Thankfully there was nothing obvious about Christopher Kane's spring collection for Versus, though—just clean lines, a few zippers, some great car-wash pleats, and a really clever print (to be explained in a minute).
Kane, who's based in London, has naturally been thinking about the upcoming Olympics the city's hosting, and so there were sheer track pants and stretch T-shirt–style dresses with black trim like the kind on soccer jerseys and knee-length warm-up shorts. What differentiated Kane's versions of these standard athletic cuts from those we've seen elsewhere is the light hand and girly color palette (more milkshake than protein shake). His wide pleats spliced with graphic black or white looked great at the bottom of a lavender tank dress and even better along the edge of a baby-pink coat. In fact, a long-sleeved chiffon minidress with cutouts in that same pastel shade as well as a short-sleeved chiffon number in Easter-chick yellow showed varsity-level work.
So did the semisheer knit dresses and skirts with a sharp, static pattern woven in—also playing into the season's passion for prints. They looked sophisticated and grown-up. Out of context, and in those sherbet colors, you'd never know they were inspired by cardiograms. Though as Kane says, "They would have looked a lot more serious if we'd done them in red."

The 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show's Biggest Debuts
Pickups just refuse to fade away. While electric vehicles and fuel-efficient compacts get plenty of attention in the news, half-ton trucks quietly remain the biggest sales category in the U.S. automotive market. The popularity of trucks is bolstered by the fact that horsepower, hauling capacity, and creature comforts increase year after year. Modern half-tons not only do things that used to take a heavy-duty pickup, like towing more than 10,000 pounds, but they do so while giving back better fuel economy than ever before.
Since we last reviewed the category four years ago (January 2009), half of the truck models have been redesigned. The newest are the GM twins from Chevrolet and GMC, nearly identical except for the front-end styling. Close behind is the Ram 1500, which launched last year. Joining the Silverado, Sierra, and Ram are the Ford F-150, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra. The Ford was the freshest truck in our previous test and took home top honors. Nissan first offered the Titan back in 2004 and has made few changes since; a new model is expected by 2015. Toyota, meanwhile, barely missed getting the new Tundra into our test—we'll be driving the 2014 model shortly after press time. The 2013 Tundra we tested traces its roots back to 2007.
This time around we teamed up with PickupTrucks.com, the truck-obsessed arm of online shopping portal Cars.com, to help manage the massive task of testing all six half-tons currently on the market. From our base of operations in Ann Arbor, Mich., we spent four days and hundreds of miles driving both unladen and hauling trailers loaded with 8500 pounds of lead and steel. We recorded straight-line performance, peeked into every nook and cranny of the interiors, and even drove each truck through an autocross course. The results of the companion piece on the PickupTrucks website include test data too expansive to list here, so our star ratings are based on the subjective portion of the test.
In order to get similar equipment levels and mechanical trim, our test required a four-door crew-cab body style with four-wheel drive and a maximum price of $45,000. Five of the trucks came stuffed with V-8s under the hood. The outlier was the Ford F-150, equipped with a twin-turbo V-6 packing enough power and torque to make us forget about the missing two cylinders. In a similar bucking of conventional truck wisdom, the Ram sits on an optional adjustable air suspension at all four corners instead of the traditional front-coil, rear-leaf-spring setup found on the rest of the field.
Looking at the group from oldest to youngest, it's clear that trucks are getting faster, more comfortable, and more efficient, but, interestingly, not lighter (at least not yet). And while these trucks might be cushy on the inside, they can still get the job done. Read on to see which one handled the workload best.
1500 Z71 LT Crew Cab
Ranking:★ ★ ★ ½
Base price/as tested: $40,525/$44,715
Powertrain: 5.3-liter V-8, 355 hp, 383 lb-ft; six-speed auto
l x w x h: 230.0 x 80.0 x 74.0 inches
Wheelbase: 143.5 inches
Curb weight: 5480 pounds
Max. payload (as tested): 1720 pounds
Max. towing (as tested): 9320 pounds
Braking 60-0 MPH: 138 feet
0-60 MPH Acceleration:7.5 seconds / 18.5 seconds with trailer (8500 pounds)
Fuel Economy: 21.3 mpg (unladen) / 12.7 mpg (with trailer)
Likes: The dashboard layout, with easy-to-reach buttons for all the major controls and plenty of storage. The Chevy and the GMC set the standard for a quiet interior, especially on the highway, where wind noise is greatly reduced. It rides nice too.
Dislikes: The seats lack lateral support. Also, the steering wheel is slightly off-center to the driver's torso, a weird ergonomic flaw. Fuel economy without a trailer was worse than the Sierra's.

Avon, Connecticut 06001
Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Russell. I am a psychologist who specializes in intensive counseling and coaching focused on getting to the root and core of your problems. Instead of the traditional 45-minutes-once-a-week talk therapy model, we use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to help you achieve up to 3 months of therapy in each session. So even if you have been in regular talk therapy for months or years without getting to the core, you have an alternative. You need to know that - with the right help and some hard work - you can get rid of your emotional baggage so completely that you will not be able to get yourself upset about your worst memory, your most challenging situation or your most sensitive issue - no matter how hard you try.

WATCH: Karrueche Tran Tearfully Opens Up About 'Battling' Rihanna Over Chris Brown
Listen to Chris Brown Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Rihanna Radio on iHeartRadio
Karrueche Tran emotionally opens up about her love triangle with Chris Brown and Rihanna in an interview on "Just KeKe," where host KeKe Palmer asks the model about the "drama" surrounding the two relationships.
"The reason why people tuned into this so much was because it's relatable," says Tran, explaining, "It's the case of the ex. We all go through it."
She continues, "In this case, my boyfriend is a celebrity whose ex-girlfriend is even bigger… so, not only am I fighting a battle with her, I'm fighting a battle with her 14 million fans or however else."
"Imagine how that feels for me when I gotta get on Twitter and I gotta see a whole bunch of stuff," Tran tells Palmer. "They make up all kinds of crazy stuff and it's like they know nothing about me."
Tran points out that she often chooses to "stay so mute" when it comes to the hate she receives, but that can become a catch-22.
"That leaves open space for them to say whatever they want," she notes.
The interview turns emotional when Palmer asks Tran what has been the "hardest" thing to deal with, and Tran begins to cry.
"I guess I would say the heartbreak, because it was a real situation," she says as her eyes fill with tears.

The smooth-sided toad belongs in the order Anura (frogs and toads) and in the family Bufonidae of "true toads." Debate continues over its classification in the large genus Bufo, with more than 280 species; or if it belongs in the small sub-genus Rhaebo, which contains eight Latin American toads. Bufo toads are native to most continents, except for arctic regions; they have also been introduced in Australia. This species' geographic range covers the huge Amazonian drainage area of South America with parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. It lives at elevations from 164 – 2,822 feet (50 – 860 m) above sea level.
All members of the Bufonidae family share stereotypic characteristics common to "true toads." They have heavy, stocky bodies with short forelimbs and hind limbs that make them poor jumpers. They have horizontal pupils and lack teeth or tails. Their skins are dry and warty. Bufo guttatus is relatively smooth (as its name implies), with only a few flat and dark warts. Its upper head and back are light brown with a dark brown band along the sides of both head and back. The red-brown throat and belly have cream-colored spots.
Smooth-sided toads inhabit subtropical and tropical regions of rainforests under leaf litter and in wetland areas with rivers, streams, waterfalls, freshwater marshes and pools. They prefer microhabitats of small rock piles.
Males are usually smaller and may have darker throat coloration. Females grow up to 10 inches (25 cm) in length while males reach 5 – 6 inches (13 – 15 cm).
Up to 10 years in captivity. Life expectancy in the wild is probably shorter.
In the wild: insects, other small invertebrates and small mammals.
At the zoo: crickets and bloodworms.
The smooth-sided toad breeds in the presence of water. Males grasp the female while transferring sperm to the eggs. She lays up to 10,000 eggs a few hours after mating. Egg development requires warm temperature of at least 75° Fahrenheit (24° C). If there are too many eggs, a "crowding-effect" occurs and some of the embryos die. Tadpoles hatch after seven days. After six weeks as tadpoles, they complete metamorphosis and become juvenile toads. Both embryonic and larval stages occur in water.
Bufo toads secret a type of venom from the bulbous parotoid glands behind their eyes. This fatty, white substance called "bufotoxin" deters predators from eating them. The venom of the Bufo alvarius could cause heart failure if swallowed. Toads can also inflate their bodies as an additional form of defense. However, contrary to common myth, touching toads does not cause warts.
To start with, all toads are frogs. However "true toads" have squat bodies, short limbs, dry "warty" skin, no teeth and poison glands. In contrast, frogs have a longer, slender body; longer limbs for jumping and webbed feet for swimming; smooth, wet-looking skin; teeth in their upper jaws; plus large ears and a longer, pointed snout. The word toad is often used for other frogs and the terms can be misleading. .
Woodland Park Zoo's smooth-sided toads are on display in the Day Exhibit. The zoo also keeps a number of other amphibian species on or off exhibit. Other species of amphibians can be seen in the Day Exhibit, the award-winning Tropical Rain Forest and Zoomazium. They include the axolotls, poison dart frogs, Panamanian golden frogs and the African gray tree frogs.
Smooth-sided toads are not an endangered species. However, at least 40 other species of frogs in the genus Bufo are either endangered or critically endangered. Smooth-sided toads have a very large range and threats to their survival are mostly local. The biggest threat to the survival of amphibians is loss of habitat from human–caused activities. These activities include drainage of wetlands for agriculture, housing, logging and construction of roads. Frogs and toads are particularly vulnerable, since humans often develop the land next to lakes, rivers and streams where these animals come to lay their eggs. Due to their inability to tolerate habitat alteration, most amphibians cannot maintain sustainable levels with the presence of these threats. Pollution, climate change and invasive species introduced by humans also take their toll on local amphibian populations.
Over the past 50 years, scientists have recorded major declines in frog populations around the world. A few species have vanished completely. Scientists continue to search for answers, as a newly-discovered fungal disease (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis – aka chytridiomycete) presents the most potent natural threat. In 1999, researchers identified this fungus as responsible for massive extinctions of wild amphibians worldwide. Researchers believe that chytridiomycosis kills by suffocation and disruption of thermoregulation. Chytrid fungus spreads rapidly and apparently does not easily disappear from the environment, even after all the former amphibians die. Cures for it exist; however, it is not practical for those in the wild due to likely re-infection. Unraveling the mysterious decline in frogs has become the focus of a worldwide effort among scientists and conservationists.
In 2005, participants from the Amphibian Conservation Summit created an action plan (see: http://www.amphibians.org/) to stop the global decline in amphibians. Additionally, scientists at the Smithsonian National Zoo and the National Museum of Natural History hope that zoos can harbor populations near the brink of extinction and establish insurance populations for future re-introduction. In order for this plan to succeed, zoos must provide adequate capacity for breeding or housing, while receiving long-term funding. Participating institutions could also pursue research activities including improvements in husbandry practices, disease monitoring and treatment, captive breeding and establishment of genome resource banks. Although smooth-sided toads occasionally show up in the international pet trade, they occur at levels that are not significant to their survival in the wild. However, the increasing demand of the pet trade lowers numbers of many amphibian populations to the point where they may become extinct in the wild.
Every year, many more wild-caught animals die than ever reach pet stores. Those that survive are often stressed, malnourished and untamable. In recent years, humans have heavily imported many species of frogs and toads as increasing numbers of pet store owners want to sell them. One way to decrease demand for importation of reptiles is for potential owners to demand captive-born individuals.
Since amphibians and reptiles require very specialized diets and environments, Woodland Park Zoo (WPZ) does not recommend them as pets for most people. WPZ also receives hundreds of requests each year to take former pet toads, frogs and other amphibians but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area.
In the Puget Sound region, it is the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society. Anyone interested in owning a reptile or amphibian should learn about its needs and be sure it was captive-bred. Read more about keeping a reptile by visiting: http://www.kingsnake.com/ballpythonguide/pets.htm.
The effort to save endangered species like the tomato frog requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Don't buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI -- On the heels of news that federal health authorities are investigating reports possibly linking 5-Hour Energy shots to deaths, Living Essentials LLC, the distributor of the highly caffeinated drinks, claims that it has discovered counterfeit products circulating in the marketplace.
The Farmington Hills, MI-based company said it has acted swiftly to identify and shut down the counterfeiters' factory. It has also filed suits in U.S. Federal District courts in both California and New York.
Living Essentials also said it has executed court orders that have allowed it to seize large quantities of counterfeit products from numerous locations and machinery used by the alleged counterfeiters to package the products.
The company said that no serious adverse events have been reported to date related to the counterfeit products.
Living Essentials said consumers can identify counterfeit products by examining the lot number located on the bottom of the bottle's packaging and on each bottle. The known counterfeit products are regular-strength berry (lot Nos. 112611A4, 105112W4 and W20712K6); extra-strength berry (lot Nos. 115811P3,W08912J4 and 119812P4); and regular-strength orange (lot Nos. 115111A2,105112R2 and 120012T2).
Separately, the Food and Drug Administration announced last week announced that it has received 92 reports over four years that cite illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths after consuming 5-Hour Energy shots and has launched an investigation. | SEE STORY

Dolphin Artists :: The Pixies
This may be an incorrect tag for the rock band Pixies. Please fix your tags if you intended on scrobbled music by that artist. A girl group called "The Pixies Three" briefly existed in the 1960's. Despite this tag automatically redirecting to "Pixies", this would be the correct tag if you are scrobbling music by that group. Two other Pixies bands also existed: one recorded a single titled "Santa's Too Fat for the Hula Hoop / Kitty Cats on Parade" in 1958, while another recorded an album titled "The Chipmunk Song" in 1970.

Academic research is is a multi-step process that doesn't always go in a straight line; you may find yourself returning to previous stages as you refine your topic. Steps include
We recommend you become familiar with the types of sources required for your research project:
Databases listed here are good general-purpose databases for social sciences and education research. See the subject guides for lists of recommended, discipline-specific databases, plus contact information for that subject librarian.
Use this encyclopedia for background research on a topic, to refine or narrow a research topic, and confirm terminology (that you'll also use in subject-specific databases).
LexisNexis Academic is a collection of hundreds of databases covering topics such as news, business, legal research, people, and company information. The default start search form uses the Easy Search method in the General search tab. Select Power Search for more advanced search options. Use the Sources link to choose from individual databases. All content is full text in HTML. News sources 1977-present; legal source 1789-present.
Use LexisNexis Academic to find recent news articles on social science and education topics and to find people working in a research area. Newspaper articles will be written for a popular audience, which will provide a general understanding of a research topic before you move on to scholarly articles.
Opposing Viewpoints offers over 14,000 pro/con viewpoint essays on controversial topics and current events, plus thousands of topic overviews, primary source documents, biographies of social activists, court case overviews, related full-text periodical articles, statistical tables, and multimedia content.
Use Opposing Viewpoints when researching controversial social science topics or ethical aspects of those topics. The reference citations listed with each essay will provide a starting point for more in-depth research.

It is a useful starting point for upper level research because it synthesizes the vast amount of primary research literature and identifies the principal contributions in each field. 1939-present.
Review articles (also available from many other databases) are a great starting point for advanced research on a social science topic, because they digest the current state of knowledge. The references listed with each summary article will also serve as a starting point for further research.
Social Science Citation Index, a subset of Web of Science, indexes citations, abstracts, and some full text from journal articles, books, and conference proceedings in all social science disciplines. You can search cited references. 1900-present.

State Superintendent of schools Torlakson visits Nevada County schools
December 19, 2013
California's top education official dropped by three Grass Valley schools Tuesday to peruse what he described as their "model" programs.
"(Nevada County) can be proud of their schools and their hard-working students," said state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson during his visit to Nevada Union High School, Ghidotti Early College High School and Lyman Gilmore School.
Ghidotti, a nontraditional high school program located on the Sierra College campus, has the state's ninth highest Academic Performance Index rating, Torlakson said.
The Ghidotti education model offers a small supportive learning environment to students as they work to complete a high school diploma while graduating with 30-60 transferable college credits. Graduates leave prepared to enter a four-year college or attend a community college to complete transfer credits or an AA/AS degree.
"There is a lot of optimism from students, and teachers have high expectations for them," Torlakson said during his tour of Ghidotti. "You always like to see that."
At Ghidotti, a transgender student asked Torlakson about AB 1266, which allows transgender students to play on sports teams and use bathrooms of the gender they identify with.
Though Torlakson supported the legislation and Gov. Jerry Brown signed it into law, opponents continue to seek signatures outside Grass Valley stores and across the state to put the matter on the November 2014 ballot.
"I think it's a big help in the right direction," Torlakson told the student.
His assistant, Alyssa Hanou, also told the transgender student that the petition is not looking like it will garner the requisite 505,000 valid signatures to make it to the ballot.
Torlakson also visited Nevada Union High School, where he toured agricultural and industrial classes, as well as the Partnership Academy, a separate, interdisciplinary studies program at the school. Torlakson took particular interest in the school's technology, citing his No Child Left Offline initiative.
"The goal is one-to-one computing capacity, to have a computer for every kid in every class. It is a big goal and may take us 10 years to get there, but I'm hoping we can do it in five," Torlakson said.
"We're seeing technology as game-changers, and the use of computers has really helped individualize instruction and letting students work and accelerate at their own pace. It enriches the whole learning environment."
At Lyman Gilmore middle school, Torlakson was greeted with a choir and band and visited the Salmon Egg Science Center, a geography project using iPads.
He was also given a tour of the computer lab and observed a science experiment, because the superintendent was a science teacher.
Torlakson's visit to Nevada County was spurred by an invitation from Holly Hermansen, the Nevada County Superintendent of Education, who oversees all schools in the county.
"Holly Hermansen said there were great things going on and I had to see it firsthand," Torlakson said.
"Your superintendents have a lot to be proud of. I will remember this when I get a chance to travel to other parts of the state to make my case. I testify a lot in front of the (state) senate and assembly and talk to the governor and his team and I will tell them I saw some cool programs in Nevada County."

Seahawks waive T Garrett Scott due to heart condition - May 23, 2014

RENTON - The Seattle Seahawks announced Friday they have waived sixth-round draft pick T Garrett Scott due to a rare heart condition that was discovered during his physical with the team.
Scott was selected by Seattle with the No. 199 overall pick in the NFL draft two weeks ago. However, he did not participate in the team's mini-camp last weekend as he was unable to pass a physical.
That examination revealed the heart condition that will keep Scott from playing football for the foreseeable future.
"After undergoing an extensive physical with our medical staff last week, Garrett's examination revealed a rare heart condition that will prevent him from any on-field participation in the near future," general manager John Schneider said in a statement.
"We think highly of Garrett as a person and as a football player. The team is committed to supporting Garrett in the months to come and will continue to help him determine his next steps."
Despite the condition, the Seahawks still signed Scott to his rookie contract on Thursday. A league source confirmed that the team still gave Scott his full signing bonus for the draft slot despite the heart condition.
The statement from Schneider doesn't appear to completely rule out Scott playing at some point in the future. If the ailment is correctable, Scott may have an avenue to play for the team down the line, though it appears unlikely at the moment.
If Scott clears waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve list. His contract would pay him $303,000 for the year plus his signing bonus. While his signing bonus is unknown, last year's 199th overall pick, RB Theo Riddick of the the Detroit Lions, received a $91,000 signing bonus. Scott's figure is likely similar.
The plan for Scott is for treatment and rest to see if it can correct the issue.
The Seahawks saw Scott as a possible fit at left tackle for the team. Undrafted free agent T Garry Gilliam took the snaps at left tackle during the rookie mini-camp last weekend and received praise for his play from head coach Pete Carroll. Gilliam could ultimately fulfill the role Seattle saw for Scott.

All the notable news, links, pictures, and video in and around Friartown and college basketball all in one digestible, tasty place
As Barney Stinson would say, SUIT UP! Hey, where's Carson Desrosiers?
Speaking of the suits, all of the players not eligible to play right now (Sidiki Johnson, Tyler Harris, Carson Desrosiers, and Ricky Ledo) did not make the trip with the team to Puerto Rico due to NCAA rules. This must be especially hard for Ricky Ledo, who is of Puerto Rican discent. The rest of the team and staff landed there today.
Still nothing new on Vincent Council's hammy. He is going to Puerto Rico, but I highly highly doubt he will play. Sounds like he could be out for the next several weeks. I say play it safe and wait until the 2nd semester when Sidiki and hopefully Kris Dunn can play.

Counseling for Personal Concerns
The Counseling Center provides confidential counseling services to help facilitate the personal, spiritual, and academic growth of our students. Counseling is available to help students explore strategies for managing problems and pressures in their personal lives. The Counseling Center operates under a brief therapy model, and appointments are available to currently enrolled students at no charge.
Some common concerns that students bring to counseling include:
- Adjustment Issues
- Anxiety
- Communication Skills
- Depression
- Difficulty Sleeping
- Discrimination/Harassment
- Disordered Eating
- Drug or Alcohol Misuse
- Grief and Loss
- Homesickness
- Loneliness
- Procrastination
- Relationships (parents, friends, roommates, professors)
- Roommate Conflict
- Self-esteem
- Sexuality
- Stress Management
- Study Skills

- Test Anxiety

- Trauma
College can be an exciting time in life, and can also be overwhelming. We believe that your personal and emotional growth during this time in your life is as important as your academic growth. When meeting with a counselor, students may come to discuss this normal growth. This is a great opportunity for you! Concerns brought to therapy may include:
- Developing balance between academics and recreation ("work/life")
- Developing deeper understanding of yourself and your reactions to events in your life
- Learning to express your emotions effectively in order to deepen your relationships with others
- Understanding and compassionately managing your personal shortcomings
If you're unsure whether counseling is right for you, schedule an initial appointment. There is no obligation to continue.

The team over at The Vertical Cat received over 200 nominations for individual cat shelters for the $1,000 Catification Makeover! After reading the nominations and looking at the pictures for every single shelter, they came to learn that there are many, many great people doing incredible work across the nation, saving cats and putting in their time to make a difference.
Every shelter was nominated for a reason, from large to small and old to new, with most struggling through adversity. There were fires, floods, lost leases, and other impossible challenges. One thing became obvious — every shelter is worthy of winning the big prize. Some need it more than others, but they are all worthy.
The shelters that made the final list below are indeed doing excellent work. Every one of them is saving the lives of cats and kittens, and working to make those lives better, throughout the country. The final 10 were chosen because of the pictures and stories submitted (and because they got back to us when we tried to contact them!) They are all indeed in need of the $1,000 Catification Makeover, and we're so sorry we can't give a makeover to every shelter that was nominated!
But before we get to the finalists and the voting, we have a special surprise! We wanted to make sure that all of the finalists walk away with something to help the kitties, so Kathie over at The Vertical Cat went to work finding other sponsors to donate prizes for all the finalists! Check out these amazing prizes!
Sisal Rugs Direct is generously offering some of their awesome sisal cat scratching posts for all of the finalists! The Grand Prize winner along with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place winners, will each receive a 40″ sisal scratching post. The 5th and 6th place winners will each receive a 30″ sisal scratching post with ramp. For the 7th and 8th place winners we have the Cat's Meow scratching post, and finally for the 9th and 10th place winners, a 30″ sisal scratching post with perch. Thank you sisal Rugs Direct!
Auntie Em Creations is helping out, too! They are providing a 5-tier cat condo for the 2nd place winner, and a single-tier cat hammock for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place winners! The winning shelters will get to choose the fabric for their prizes. Thank you, Auntie Em!
In addition to providing the Grand Prize for the 1st place winner, The Vertical Cat is going to send a double wall shelf to the 2nd and 3rd place winners! Plus, all finalists will get 20% off all Vertical Cat products for 6 months!
So all the shelter kitties can climb high, all 10 finalists will receive a 2-pillow Original Cat's Trapeze, courtesy of Moderncat Distribution!
But wait, there's more! All 10 finalists will receive a fun pack of donated items for their kitties! They will each receive an assortment of fabulous organic catnip products from Tipsy Nip, a selection of handmade designer cat toys from Moderncat Studio, a Kitty Cuddler Valerian Spiced Catnip Toy from Plain Brown Tabby Toys and Treats, and a case of 12 Stretch and Scratch scratchers, courtesy of Old Maid Cat Lady. WOW! Everyone wins!
And now, without further ado, here are the top 10 finalists for the $1,000 Catification makeover, in no particular order:
SPCA Tompkins County – Ithaca, NY
Cat Count: Approximately 200
The SPCA of Tompkins County was incorporated in 1902 and has been a fully operational no-kill shelter since 2001. Their adoption facility, the Dorothy and Roy Park Adoption Center, provides cats, dogs and other companion animals a "comfortable, healthy, home-like" setting, and is registered as the nation's first "green" animal shelter which is "good for people, good for animals, and good for the planet."
This not-for-profit organization shelters nearly 3,000 companion animals every year, works to education school-age children and adults, and collaborates with local food pantries to help feed pets.
They also offer adoptions out of The Annex in The Shops at Ithaca Mall, which started out as a temporary facility. However, three years later, The Annex isn't seeming so temporary, and has also been nominated for a makeover. If they win, we'll let them choose which location is most in need.
MEOW Cat Rescue – Seattle, WA
Cat Count: Approximately 90
MEOW is a mostly volunteer-run no-kill shelter that was established by a small group of friends in the 1990s, which places about 1,000 animals into permanent homes every year. When it comes to homeless cats, "newborn or senior, healthy, ill or injured, all are valued at MEOW." Their goal is to help create a "no-kill nation."
One person who nominated them said: "MEOW has always wanted stairs, shelves and boxes on the walls, but – there isn't time as they are too busy taking care of the cats! Shelves were attempted, but… the folks at MEOW are great caregivers, but… not very good carpenters."
MEOW is located in the back storefront of an older strip mall and they've just leased the storefront next door in order to "be able to take care of more cats." The $1,000 makeover would go to helping them with their expansion.
Cozy Cat Cottage – Powell, OH
Cat Count: Approximately 180
Cozy Cat Cottage is a private non-profit no-kill shelter that provides "refuge, aid and care for abandoned, injured, abused or lost cats and kittens. We refuse to euthanize cats or kittens simply be cause they are unwanted."
One person who nominated them said that more than 5,000 cats have been rescued from the streets of central Ohio. "Cozy Cat never gives up on any cat. Recently, a cat was placed in a forever home after 8 years with the organization!"
The main back room has plexiglass enclosures for the younger kittens and for stressed out cats, but other cats are free to roam, climb and sleep on the cat trees, hanging beds and counter surfaces. "The room has a very tall ceiling (with very bare and underutilized walls) and is perfect for engaging wall shelves/steps/furniture that the cats can play/hang/walk on."
Friends of Animals Utah – Park City, UT
Cat Count: Approximately 110
Friends of Animals Utah is a private, no-kill rescue organization founded in 1990 that rescues cats from other shelters' euthanasia lists. They have found homes for over 10,000 pets and do about 80 adoptions a month. While not a traditional shelter, they keep the cats at their facilities until a home can be found.
FOAU's mission is "to protect and provide for animals while fostering an awareness of their importance in our lives. This mission includes our goal of improving the quality of life of animals and placing them into loving and permanent homes through rescue, extraordinary and compassionate care, and humane education."
One person who nominated them said: "Recently we had a ringworm outbreak which required us to throw out thousands of dollars of products. We built a few cubes in the wall for our kitties but we now have very little cat furniture left. Help!!!"
Ellen M. Gifford Sheltering Home for Cats – Boston, MA
Cat count: Approximately 50
The Ellen M. Gifford Sheltering Home for Cats was established in 1884 and is the oldest cageless, no-kill shelter for cats in the United States.
Their mission is to "provide homeless cats with high-quality care in a safe, healthy, and loving environment. We work to find safe, healthy, and loving permanent homes for the cats in our care and to educate potential adopters and the general public about cat welfare issues."
One person who nominated them said: "Although we were a pioneer in the concept of cage-free sheltering of cats, our facility has fallen behind the times. We have many surfaces that cannot be disinfected easily and our cats climb to heights where we cannot reach them to hide. It would be great to have perches and hiding places where we can still care for our cats — many of whom are semi-feral or extremely shy."
Carol's Ferals and Friendlies – Grand Rapids, MI
Cat Count: Approximately 35
Carol's Ferals and Friendlies assists community cat caregivers with TNR and support services. They've spayed and neutered over 5,000 cats in 5 years, had 300 adoptions and relocated over 75 ferals to safe barn homes. They are a non-profit that is no-kill and run by volunteers. The organization operates out of a duplex-type house converted into rehab, adoption, and TNR-related rooms.
One person who nominated them said: "We are in dire need of help for our adult cat room. We currently house 35+ adult cats in a combination kitchen/living room/dining room with [no shelving] on the walls… Everything in the room for furnishings are donated and unfortunately, the tallest thing we have in the room is a single cat tree that only has 3 crow's nests… By utilizing the walls, we know this would make everyone (people and cat alike) much happier and provide enrichment for the cats."
Cats Cradle Shelter – Fargo, ND
Cat Count: Approximately 54
The Cats Cradle Shelter is a no-kill shelter run completely by volunteers. Cats live in colonies of 6-10 cats in individual units based on compatibility. Their efforts have helped Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo go five straight months without euthanizing an adoptable cat.
One of their special needs cats, a young guy named Corky, had "backward and crisscrossed legs," and has received surgery thanks to the shelter and a local vet. While one of his legs had to be amputated due to infection, he's on the mend. Corky is rather popular and has over 8,000 likes on his Facebook page.
One person who nominated them said: "They do soooo much for kitties! The kitties would love the enrichment! There is alot of wall space in each room and with shelves available the cats would have that much more of the room to use."
Good Mews Animal Foundation – Marietta, GA
Cat Count: Approximately 100
Good Mews is one of the few virtually cage-free, no-kill cat shelters in the state of Georgia. Established in 1988, the shelter has found homes for approximately 5,000 cats. Good Mews also promotes public awareness regarding the value of pets, animal welfare, pet overpopulation, and quality human-animal companionship through education and outreach programs.
One person who nominated them said: "The Good Mews shelter is designed primarily with free-standing cat trees that take up valuable floor space, are difficult to clean and don't maximize limited space in the shelter. Because they are made of carpet, they wear out quickly in a shelter that houses 100 cats. The Vertical Cat shelves would make perfect use of the space available."
The shelter takes in many hard to place cats, including one that lost its back legs. Special needs kitties "deserve a special place to live and play that meets their needs."
Pawsitively Cats – Tucson, AZ
Cat Count: Approximately 125
PAWSitively Cats is a no-kill shelter for adoptable and special needs cats rescued in the Tucson area and is largely volunteer-based. They are working to provide compassionate care for homeless cats and trying to find loving, permanent homes for them, while working to promote Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) for feral cats, and to educate the public regarding spay/neuter and responsible pet ownership.
One of the people who nominated them said: "This little shelter and it's volunteers have done so much to help Tucson's cats. PawsCats recently took responsibility for all of the cats of another recently closed Tucson cat shelter, so the budget is extremely tight and currently does not allow for shelter renovations. I personally have been working to save money to buy paint and supplies to freshen up the main room at the shelter… I know winning this makeover would be tremendously beneficial to the cats."
Santé D'Or Foundation – Los Angeles, CA
Cat Count: Approximately 60
The Santé D'Or Foundation is a no-kill volunteer run adoption center and community focused rescue. The animals come to them from the streets, are surrendered by residents experiencing extreme financial hardship, a crisis, or those who are no longer able to care for them. They offer a home to adult and some special needs kittys, many who live there for years before finding a forever home.
The last few months Santé D'Or has making many changes and updating the space. But according to a person who nominated them, there's more to do. "This shelter needs to win the Catification makeover because the love that is given to these animals does not reflect the condition of the shelter… We have been wanting to get the front room redone to feel more open and welcoming. It would be great to have the cats running up the walls!"
EXTRA SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Animalkind in Hudson, NY to Receive Special Fundraiser!
Out of the almost 800 nominations we received, over 350 of them were for Animalkind in Hudson, NY. On May 1, there was a massive fire at the AnimalKind shelter. Luckily, no lives were lost, but the 120 cats in their care had to be evacuated and the shelter is devastated. Clearly, Animalkind is desperately in need of the Catification Makeover, but we have decided not to include them in the top 10 finalists for this contest. Instead, Moderncat, Jackson Galaxy, and The Vertical Cat are going to organize a special fundraiser just for Animalkind in the coming weeks. They need some extra help in these difficult times and we are going to give it to them! Stay tuned for more details.

According to Neilson, the Malawi project had to borrow even more in 2010, though he will not say how much.
What Immigration Equality is fighting for," says Neilson, "is to get the Uniting American Families Act passed by Congress.
Now, Neilson is proposing legislation that would force couples to complete at least part of the seminar before filing for divorce.
Neilson told Newsweek that "the separation is a healthy thing for Raising Malawi and the Kabbalah Centre."
The triumph of the Castle was completed by the capture of Neilson and the Sheares.
Neilson wondered idly what sort of man he had been in his youth.
Neilson was a gambler, but his word went; in fact, Deering imagined it sometimes went with the police.
It did not take Neilson long to discover that he was in love with her.
"The less you say about Hiram's brother the better," Neilson answered sternly.
Doctor Neilson informed me that we were now about crossing into the tropics.

LA VERNE - Several employees of an aviation company rushed to the aid of a dump truck driver who was trapped in a burning vehicle following a crash that killed a man on Wednesday afternoon.
Around 2:30 p.m., authorities received 9-1-1 calls about a crash between a van and the dump truck, according to Los Angeles County fire officials.
Fire officials found the vehicles engulfed in flames and the aviation company employees using commercial fire extinguishers and an emergency crash truck used at the airport to try to put out the flames.
"They're amazing for what they did," said Deanna Howard, whose family owns Howard Aviation Inc. in La Verne near the rear of the Pomona Fairplex.
The employees heard the loud crash and ran out to find the flames starting to take over the mangled wreckage.
"The guys ran back into our hangar and grabbed our fire extinguishers to try to put out the fire," Howard said, adding the flames were shooting about a dozen feet into the air.
"They were so close to the flames and the fire that three of them had to be taken to the emergency room for breathing in smoke and (radiant) burns," Howard said.
One of Howard's employees, Charles Long, got into the truck and drove it to the crash site to try to put out the flames that were burning the driver.
When firefighters arrived, they were able to pull the unidentified dump truck driver from the vehicle.
He was transported to an emergency room with first-degree burns.
The driver of the van was pronounced dead at the scene, fire officials said.
Seven people, including the burned driver, were taken to the hospital. Most sustained minor injuries, officials said.
It wasn't immediately clear how the crash took place.
"These guys have families and they didn't think twice about running out there to help out a total stranger," Howard said. "I think they're amazing."

Redlands' historic Panorama Point, the viewpoint established as part of Sunset Drive by the Smiley brothers in the early 20th century, has provided Redlanders and visitors with a spot to take in the vast San Bernardino Valley and San Bernardino Mountains.
Alfred Smiley himself picked the scenic point that overlooks Reservoir Canyon and Crystal Springs at an elevation of 2,187 feet. He had a retaining wall constructed to protect people from the perils of the point's abrupt drop-off while allowing them an unencumbered view.
Sunset Drive and Panorama Point were Smiley's last project. He died shortly after the dirt road was completed.
In the early 1930s, Redlands rock mason Eligio Benzor was hired to build the observation platform that still exists. For the Panorama Point work, Benzor hauled brown stones from Bear Valley.
In 1936, the city conducted a ceremony to dedicate Panorama Point. They installed a bronze ceremonial plaque which indicated with arrows the various landmarks on the horizon as viewed from the point.
Over the past 10 years, after the point was bypassed when Sunset Drive was rerouted for a new subdivision, the rock walls began to deteriorate. Today, many rocks are missing and the wall suffers with more than a few holes.
In the early summer this year, Redlanders responded enthusiastically and quickly for the Redlands Conservancy's request for funds to repair Panorama Point. Donations from 31 people, including four of more than $300, were contributed to the fund which holds more than $3,500. The plan was to complete the work in mid-September, after the weather would become friendlier.
The project has stalled because the contractor who had offered to do the work has become unavailable.
"We are working with another local mason to try to put the project back on track," said Robert Dawes, the president of the Redlands Conservancy. "Then we have to find the right kind of rocks so they match the existing wall."
Dawes assures donors that the funds are restricted and will not be used for any other conservancy project. It is hoped that by early January the contractor will be signed on and the rocks will be located and Panorama Point can get repaired.

text: Less than two weeks of freedom remain for Apollo Nida who was sentenced last month to eight years in jail for his part in a scheme that defrauded millions of dollars from people and businesses. Apollo will serve his sentence in a federal prison in Kentucky and needs to turn himself in by September 10. Knowing you won't get out for a long time must really make those two weeks fly by. That is where you just try and stay awake the entire two weeks and get everything out of the way you won't be able to do. I bet what he won't be doing is spending any time with Phaedra or even his two kids with her. He should, but he probably won't. I think Phaedra is going to wait until the guy is actually in jail before she serves him with divorce papers, although maybe she would like to keep him as husband until all her current court cases are settled. That is assuming of course that he wouldn't want to throw her under a bus. After serving his jail time, Apollo has to pay $2M in restitution which he is never going to be able to do.

Old Town Square
Description Old Town
The area of today's Old Town Square used to be a market which had been there before Old Town was founded. Originally it was a free space market, houses started being built later. By 1211 it already had its own administrator who was collecting fees and looking after the smooth running of the markey. In 1338 Jan Lucembursky issued a decree which enabled the village to build a town house. It comprised nine houses. Also built at this time was the Old Town Tower on which the famous astronomical clock was placed.
The Old Town Square has always been at the centre of the most important events in Czech history. For instance, in 1422 Jan Zelivsky was executed here as well as Jan Rohac from Dube in 1437. The well-known execution of 27 Czech nobles, participants of the uprising against the Habsburgs, took place here in 1621. In 1902 a demonstration for universal suffrage was held here and in 1948 it was the place where the Communist Party's launched its power takeover.
The Old Town Square is located on the Royal Mile which leads from today's Republic Square through Celetna Street, Little Square, Charles' Street and over the Charles Bridge towards Prague Castle. There are many beautiful historical houses and other cultural, historical and clerical landmarks along the way.
Nowadays the tradition of markets is revisted twice every year with the Christmas market and the Easter market, both equally atmospheric and picturesque and enjoyed by tourists and Praguers alike. Old Town Square is undoubtedly a must see that no one misses when visiting Prague.
Prague Astronomical Clock
The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj (Czech: Pražský orloj, [praʒski: ɔrlɔi]) is a medieval astronomical clock located in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, at. The Orloj is mounted on the southern wall of Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square and is a popular tourist attraction.
The Orloj is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; "The Walk of the Apostles", a clockwork hourly show of figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months.
The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410 when it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, the latter a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Charles University. The Prague Orloj was one of a number of complex astronomical clocks designed and constructed during the 14th and 15th centuries, soon after the invention of the mechanical clock. Other examples were built at Norwich, St Albans, Wells, Lund, Strasbourg, and Padua.
Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and clock facade decorated with gothic sculptures.
In 1552 it was repaired by Jan Taborský, clockmaster of Orloj, who also wrote a report on the clock where he mentioned Hanuš as maker of the clock. This was a mistake, and was corrected during the 20th century.
The Orloj stopped working many times in the centuries after 1552, and was repaired many times. In the 17th century moving statues were added, and figures of the Apostles were added after major repair in 1865-1866.
The Orloj suffered heavy damage on May 7 and especially May 8, 1945, during the Prague Uprising, when Germans directed incendiary fire from several armored vehicles and an anti-aircraft gun to the south-west side of the Old Town Square in an effort to silence the provocative broadcasting initiated by the National Committee on May 5. The hall and nearby buildings burned along with the wooden sculptures on the Orloj and the calendar dial face made by Josef Mánes. The machinery was repaired, the wooden Apostles restored by Vojtěch Sucharda, and the Orloj started working again in 1948, but only after significant effort.
There exists a good deal of misinformation relating to the construction of the Orlo. For a long time it was believed that the Orloj was constructed in 1490 by clockmaster Jan Růže (also called Hanuš) and his assistant Jakub Čech. Another fictitious story involves the clockmaker Hanuš being blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors to prevent him from constructing another similar clock.
Functions noted
The astronomical dial is a form of mechanical astrolabe, a device used in medieval astronomy. Alternatively, one may consider the Orloj to be a primitive planetarium, displaying the current state of the universe.
The astronomical dial has a background that represents the standing Earth and sky, and surrounding it operate four main moving components: the zodiacal ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the Sun, and an icon representing the Moon.
Stationary background
The background represents the Earth and the local view of the sky. The blue circle directly in the center represents the Earth, and the upper blue is the portion of the sky which is above the horizon. The red and black areas indicate portions of the sky below the horizon. During the daytime, the sun sits over the blue part of the background and at night it sits over the black. During dawn or dusk, the mechanical sun is positioned over the red part of the background.
Written on the eastern (left) part of the horizon is aurora (dawn in Latin) and ortus (rising). On the western (right) part is occasus (sunset), and crepusculum (twilight).
Golden Roman numbers at the outer edge of blue circle are the timescale of a normal 24 hour day and indicate time in local Prague time, or Central European Time. Curved golden lines dividing the blue part of dial into 12 parts are marks for unequal hours. These hours are defined as 1/12 of the time between sunrise and sunset, and vary as the days grow longer or shorter during the year.
Zodiacal ring, astronomical dial
Inside the large black outer circle lies another movable circle marked with the signs of the zodiac which indicates the location of the sun on the ecliptic. The signs are shown in anticlockwise order. In the photographs accompanying this article, the sun is currently in Aries, and will be moving anticlockwise into Taurus next.
The displacement of the zodiac circle results from the use of a stereographic projection of the ecliptic plane using the North pole as the basis of the projection. This is commonly seen in astronomical clocks of the period.
The small golden star shows the position of the vernal equinox, and sidereal time can be read on the scale with golden Roman numbers.
Old Czech time scale
At the outer edge of the clock, golden Schwabacher numerals are set on a black background. These numbers indicate Old Czech Time (or Italian hours), measured ending with 24 at sunset. This ring moves during the year to coincide with the time of sunset.
The golden Sun moves around the zodiacal circle, thus showing its position on the ecliptic. The sun is attached to an arm with a golden hand, and together they show the time in three different ways:
- The position of the golden hand over the Roman numerals on the background indicates the time in local Prague time.
- The position of the sun over the curved golden lines indicates the time in unequal hours.
- The position of the golden hand over the outer ring indicates the hours passed after sunset in Old Czech Time.
Additionally, the distance of the Sun from the center of the dial shows the time of sunrise and sunset.
The movement of the Moon on the ecliptic is shown similarly to that of the Sun, although the speed is much faster. The half-silvered sphere of the moon also shows the Lunar phase.
Computer Model of Prague Orloj
The movements of the various mechanical parts of the astronomical dial are too slow to appreciate in real time, but become easier to comprehend using a computer model of Orloj. An animated picture and a spreadsheet that 'constructs' the clock for each moment in the year and at each place in the world is to see in a Didactic explanation
Animated figures
The four figures flanking the clock are set in motion at the hour. These represent the four things which are despised. Starting with Death (represented by a skeleton) striking the time. On the hour. Vanity (represented by the figure holding a mirror), Greed (the figure with the bag) and finally the Turkish (the figure with the turban).
There is also a presentation of statues of the Apostles at the doorways above the clock, with all twelve presented at noon.
The calendar below the clock was added in 1870.

Trust me, this is a completely normal question and perhaps even one that takes priority over other important questions on your mind, such as, "What's for dinner?" "Is that essay test tomorrow?" or "Was it my turn to pick Billy up from practice?"

Judge Clears The Way For Merger Of American Airlines, US Airways
(New York, NY) -- The merger between American Airlines and US Airways is clear for takeoff. A federal judge is allowing American Airlines' parent company AMR to exit bankruptcy proceedings. That clears the way for a merger that would result in the world's largest air carrier.
The Department of Justice challenged the merger, saying it would give American an unfair advantage. That was cleared up with an agreement that required American to sacrifice gates at major airports.
The new company will keep the American Airlines name and its headquarters in Dallas-Fort Worth.

|Summary: A screen saver and locker for the X Window System
The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle for a period of time, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. It turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity. It can also lock the screen immediately, after a longer idle period, or on demand. The xscreensaver package consists of two parts: the screensaver and the "driver" or "daemon", which detects idleness and does locking, and the many graphics demos that are launched by xscreensaver. Any X program that can draw on the root window can be used with xscreensaver, regardless of how that program is written, what language it is written in, or what libraries it uses. The xscreensaver daemon takes care of detecting when the user is idle, locking, and checking passwords and all the other book-keeping. All the other programs need to do is draw. The benefit that xscreensaver has over the combination of the xlock and xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphic hacks can be installed. You do not need to recompile (or even re-run) the xscreensaver program to add a new display mode, you just change a config file.

i am doing some research on password lists for a security tutorial. now i am with psychology of passwords for a quite while now. What came to my attention lately is the idea to automatically create a passphrase list from a huge text file with an ebook for example. Now to be clear, lets take an example. I need a little ruby magic or shell magic which does THIS: I want to input a text file and want the script to output the list of the passphrases from within this text. When a "." appears it should include the dot in the current passphrase, do a CR and let the next passphrase begin. Example:
Text Input Textfile:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Always look on the bright side of life. Hello World. Blablabla. This is a test.
Now the output file must look like this:
I guess that is pretty easy - but as i am not quite familiar with that stuff - please can anyone take five minutes to figure that out? Would be highly appreciated.
best regards,
This will do it:
for i in `cat ${1}`
do echo -ne ${i:0:1}
if [[ ${i: -1} = "." ]]
then echo .
Don't reinvent the wheel. wyd.pl was made on that purpose! (you can find it on /pentest/passwords/wyd/)
Thank you both so much - i will first check the shellscript and then have a look at wyd.pl
best regards,
Maybe I am blind but i can´t locate wyd.pl at the location you pointed me to earlier. In Addition i read the wyd.pl specs on Max´s Site and can´t find a way which will do what i want. It simply extracts the words and allows some slick nice modifications but as i see it it can´t do what i asked for.
best regards,
sed 's/\([a-zA-Z]\)[a-zA-Z]*/\1/g; s/ //g; s/\([^a-zA-Z]\)/\1\n/g' <input
holy....that is great, whitelisted. Could you point me a way which will include the comma sign "," in the passphrase? To clarify:
Input example: "The quick brown fox eats, poops and sleeps! Then he runs to the house."
Should result in Output example:
best regards,
In your example, the first passphrase ends at an exclamation mark, not a period. How am I supposed to know which symbols mark the end of a passphrase and which ones should be embedded?
Assuming that every passphrase ends with a non-alpha character and begins with an uppercase character, you could try this:
sed 's/\([a-zA-Z]\)[a-zA-Z]*/\1/g; s/ //g; s/\([^a-zA-Z]\)\([A-Z]\)/\1\n\2/g' <input
yeah i could have pointed that out - sorry my fault.
thank you so much. never thought you could use sed for stuff like that. great!
No, thank you.
It's easy to get jaded about linux and to want to chuck it in and go back to a system that "just works" (tm). It's nice every now and again to solve a complex real-world problem in 30 seconds or less and using standard, out of the box tools, and to know you never could have done that in a windows environment.
Your problem made my day: it reminds me why I love open systems.
