WATCH: Ian Somerhalder ambushed by singing fan
(TMZ) - "Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder can make a girl go crazy just by touching her -- at least that's the way it looks in this video, showing a USC student spontaneously bursting into "Natural Woman" last Tuesday ... as soon as she holds his hand, according to TMZ.
TMZ reports Ian had just finished an Earth Day talk at the school -- he's a big conservationist -- when student Shelby Miguel dropped the Aretha assault during a meet-and-greet ... out of nowhere.
It's pretty ballsy -- not to mention awkward -- but check out the video ... she's got a great voice.

Latest: Family of Long Beach man shot by police finally granted access after 10 days
LONG BEACH — As the memories flood back for Yorn Eng, she struggles to remain composed as her emotions yaw between sadness and anger.
The sadness comes when she recalls her brother being taken away without explanation more than 35 years ago by the Khmer Rouge in the middle of the night from a Cambodian village, never to be seen again. Her husband, Heng Hean, lost two siblings under similar circumstances.
The anger comes when she is forced to wait and wonder about the unknown condition of her 22-year-old son, who Long Beach police shot 10 days ago after he allegedly drew a gun on officers. The son, Sokha Hor, faces a list of felony charges including assault with a semiautomatic weapon on a peace officer.
He may be near death and on life support, or he may be stable. Yorn Eng's family said in an interview Thursday it has heard both accounts from detectives, and nothing since Monday.
"If an animal is hit in the street, they'll call the owners with answers," her son Hong Hor said, translating for his mother.
Sokha Hor lies in a hospital bed under arrest by Long Beach police, that much they know. The rest is conjecture because the hospital won't release information on his condition and police have denied visitation, the family said.
One of the couple's daughters said she was told Monday by detectives that her brother was on life support and breathing through a ventilator. Another sister said she was told earlier that the brother was in stable condition.
At no time have detectives met with the family as a whole to answer questions or provide information, they said.
"The big part is, he's in technical custody of the police and there's not a protocol or provision for prisoner visitation in a hospital," said Sgt. Aaron Eaton of the Long Beach Police Department.
Neither, he said, is there a requirement by detectives to keep the family involved and informed.
"The circumstances are a little unique," he added.
He said discussions are ongoing in the police department to determine how to handle the situation with the family.
"We're cognizant that a lot of people are touched by this issue and we're trying to address it as best we can," Eaton said.
Police shot Sokha Hor Jan. 7 in an alley in the 1900 block of East Fourth Street off Cherry Avenue when they were searching for him in connection with a burglary. Police officials say he pulled a gun when confronted.
Detectives said they found a handgun near Hor and later found two assault rifles.
After the shooting, he was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery, police said.
Police said Hor was a gang member, which his sisters confirmed, but added, "that's just a label."
As an adult, Sokha Hor's criminal record is sparse -- consisting of conviction on a count of theft in 2009 and littering in 2010, according to Los Angeles Superior Court records.
Despite the acts Hor is charged with now, the family said they are being made to suffer needlessly.
"Your emotions just go crazy. You feel just hopeless, " said Hong Hor, an older brother who flew from his home in Maine with his father when they learned of the shooting.
The family said they didn't even know Sokha Hor had been shot until they read about it at presstelegram.com.
"I felt like I can't do anything. They wouldn't even tell me he was (at the hospital)," Connie Hor said of her first attempts to learn information. "I can't even explain how that makes you feel."
Eaton confirmed that the hospital can't release information on a patient in police custody, even to next of kin.
He said only the detectives handling the case could release information, adding that "we are cautious to speak about medical issues because we are not versed on this. We have to take what the hospital gives us."
The family said this is not the America their parents risked their lives fleeing Cambodia to come to. The parents said they feel betrayed.
As they sit in their small home on the edge of the Cambodia Town section of Long Beach, the parents nearly shrink into an overstuffed couch as they recall terrible memories. They may not have been formally diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, but some of its symptoms are plain to see.
Hean has spent most of his 27 years in the United States working at small Asian markets cleaning fish, while Eng raised their nine children -- another six died in Cambodia before the family immigrated.
"When she brought this family (to the United States) she wanted us to have good lives," said Hong Hor, translating for his mother. "She thinks it's unmoral for her to be denied seeing him."
For Eng and Hean, there is an eerie parallel to the unknown fate of their son and what happened to them more than 35 years ago when they lived under the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
"It brings back memories, she doesn't know how he's doing," Hong Hor said in translation. "She just feels the sorrow and not knowing and not being able to do anything. She's not wanting to live, It opens up old wounds in the heart."
The family has organized a demonstration at 1 p.m. Sunday outside St. Mary Medical Center to "demand the LBPD show some humanity and allow Sokha's family to see him before it's too late."
"The law enforcement profession is supposed to protect and serve," Connie Hor said. "I felt like if we can't turn to them for help, I don't know who to turn to."

Lord of the manor
The hit British TV series "Downton Abbey" has inspired a new line of housewares. The "Downton look" is based both on the palatial rooms of the Earl and Countess of Grantham, and (more realistically, we'll bet, for your home) the downstairs servants' quarters.
For the true "Downton" effect, you'll need a footman in a crisp black uniform to provide tableside dinner service. If only dogs had opposable thumbs.
OMG! Worst jail food evah! Users of the website Yelp.com have been offering their opinions on restaurants and hotels. Now, they're posting reviews of state prisons and county jails.
It can be hard to gauge the reliability and accuracy of anonymous reviews, but if the subject's a jail and the reviewer's handle includes the word "thug," consider it authoritative.
Back at ya: The chattering classes were abuzz Wednesday over a report in Politico that House Speaker John Boehner told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to "go f—- yourself" during a particularly tense moment of the fiscal cliff negotiations.
With Congress' approval rating mired at 18 percent, we suspect Boehner's hearing a lot of that kind of talk these days.

Fox's Varney Tells NRA Leader Appearance On His Show Was "An Excellent Commercial For The NRA"
Fox Business host Staurt Varney concluded a softball interview with National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre by telling the NRA top executive the segment had been an "excellent commercial for the NRA."
LaPierre used his appearance as an opportunity to denigrate efforts to pass a new assault weapons ban. He falsely suggested that there are no differences between assault weapons and other guns, calling the term assault rifle "an invented term by the people who hate the Second Amendment in this country to confuse the American public."
Instead of engaging in a discussion about the merits of an assault weapons ban, which LaPierre's organization stridently opposes, Varney played footage of an Arizona gun dealer [1] suggesting that Obama "is going to implement more than just an assault weapons ban" and asked LaPierre open-ended questions such as, "I'm not sure I exactly understand what is an assault weapon as defined by the gun control people. Can you tell me?"
LaPierre's claim that the term "assault weapon" was nefariously invented by proponents of gun violence prevention is disingenuous. The term has been frequently used by the gun industry -- which passes millions of dollars [2] a year to the NRA -- as a way to promote the military features of assault weapons. The Violence Policy Center has demonstrated [3] how gun advertisements and publications often used the "assault" terminology.
But in recent years the gun industry has moved to rehab the image [4] of assault weapons by essentially denying the existence of such weapons, as Varney allowed LaPierre to do on Fox Business today. According to the VPC, a proponent of assault weapons bans, "The point of the campaign -- inspired by the pummeling the industry gets for selling killing machines -- is apparently that semiautomatic assault rifles are really just another sporting gun, no different from an older generation of bolt-action and low-capacity rifles."
While the NRA mantra is that there are only cosmetic differences between assault weapons and other firearms, the VPC has identified a number of design features [5] that makes it easier to shoot a large number of people during a short period of time. These features include a firearm's ability to accept high-capacity magazines, and the inclusion of rear and forward pistol grips, which can help a shooter exercise greater control over the firearm.
How an assault weapon features can be used to devastating effect was tragically demonstrated on July 20 when a gunman using an assault weapon equipped with a 100 round drum opened fire at a movie theater [6] in Aurora, Colorado killing 12 and injuring scores more in one of the worst mass shootings in American history.
In fact, research indicates that weapons equipped with what are commonly termed assault weapons features do pose an increased risk to the public compared to other weapons. As the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research notes, assault weapons are disproportionally used in mass shootings [7], and when used result in a higher average number of casualties.
Even so, the NRA continues to stridently oppose a new assault weapons ban, even as a majority of the public [8] supports regulating these dangerous weapons.

By Alan Levin, Susanna Ray and Chris Cooper Bloomberg News
Qatar Airways, one of the biggest customers for the Boeing Co.'s Dreamliner, said heightened scrutiny of the model after a plane caught fire at the Boston airport won't dampen the carrier's purchase plans.
"We will have these problems," Qatar Chief Executive Officer Akbar al Baker told reporters in Doha on Wednesday. Al Baker has been known to publicly slam plane manufacturers, including Boeing, for performances deemed sub-par. "We've had no other technical issues. There will be small teething problems."
This is a crucial year for the 787 as Chicago-based Boeing increases deliveries and production, trying to get out from under the weight of seven delays to the jet's introduction that spanned more than three years. Qatar still has about 25 unfilled orders for the 787, and al Baker has said he wants to order a larger version of the plane if Boeing offers it.
The fire, spotted Monday on a Japan Airlines plane after passengers disembarked from a flight that began in Tokyo, and a fuel leak that delayed another Dreamliner at the same airport, on Tuesday, are the latest image setbacks to plague the world's first jet with a fuselage made chiefly of composite materials. The Dreamliner entered commercial service in late 2011.
Boeing, which stressed its confidence in the new model during a conference call with reporters Wednesday, is set to double production of the 787 this year to help fill remaining orders for about 800. The planemaker has delivered about 50 of the jets to eight customers: All Nippon Airways Co., Japan Airlines, Air India Ltd., Ethiopian Airlines, Chile's LAN Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines SA, United Continental Holdings Inc. and Qatar Airways.
Jets flown by Air India, which received its sixth Dreamliner on Jan. 7, are "operating smoothly," G. Prasada Rao, a spokesman for the carrier, said in New Delhi. Boeing has agreed to modify the electrical system on one of the planes by March after providing an "interim solution" to a fault detected in September, he said.
All new jet models have introductory pains for the first year or two, said Mike Sinnett, chief 787 project engineer, during the conference call. The 787's "squawks" haven't been any worse than those of the 777 — one of Boeing's most popular models — and have been better than "other widebodies" available, Sinnett said, without naming those.
"I am 100 percent convinced the airplane is safe to fly," Sinnett said. "I fly on it myself all the time."
But media attention has been intense this week, with lesser, unrelated incidents making headlines after the fire:
•A day after the Boston fire, an open fuel valve caused kerosene to leak from another Japan Airlines Dreamliner at the same airport, delaying takeoff until mechanics could close it, said Seiji Takaramoto, a spokesman at Japan Airlines. About 40 gallons of fuel spilled on the ground at Logan International Airport, said Matthew Brelis, a spokesman for airport operator Massport.
Japan Airlines, with a fleet of seven 787s, planned to check why the fuel valve wasn't closed after the plane arrived back in Tokyo, Takaramoto said. The carrier completed checks on batteries after the 787 fire in Boston and no problems were found on the other six aircraft, he said.
•All Nippon Airways, the first and biggest operator of 787s, canceled a domestic Dreamliner flight Wednesday in Japan because of a problem with the computer controlling the brake system, Megumi Tezuka, a spokeswoman at the airline, said by telephone from Tokyo. The airline had several computer problems with the 787 after receiving the first plane in September 2011, which led to the software system being updated last year, she said.
"The 787 is a high-profile plane, so it's getting more media play than if the same thing was happening on a 737. Mechanical issues happen all the time, but you don't hear about them," said Michael Derchin, an analyst at CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Conn.
"Unfortunately the aircraft is known now for its problems, not for the performance it delivers and the enhanced safety features," said Michel Merluzeau, an analyst with G2 Solutions in Kirkland.
Boeing shares rose 3.6 percent to $76.76, recovering from the stock's biggest two-day decline in more than seven months.
In the Monday incident, a mechanic noticed smoke as he walked through the jet after passengers had disembarked from their flight from Tokyo. The smoke was traced to a fire from the battery used for the auxiliary power unit, Japan Airlines said in a statement.
ANA found no problems with the batteries on its 787s after checking them following a request from Japan's transport ministry, ANA's Tezuka said.
GS Yuasa Corp., which made the lithium ion battery on the 787, is cooperating with the investigation, said Tsutomu Nishijima, a spokesman for the Kyoto, Japan-based company. GS Yuasa wasn't aware of the reason for the fire, he said.
While the lithium batteries used in the 787 weren't the only choice, they were the right one, said Sinnett, the 787 engineer.
"Knowing what I know now, I'd make the same choice now," he said. The batteries were designed to be able to burn and still ensure a safe flight and landing for the plane with any smoke diverted out of the cabin and cockpit while it's flying, he said.
United Continental inspected all six of its 787s following Monday's Japan Airlines fire, said Mary Ryan, a spokeswoman. She declined to reveal the results and said Chicago-based United continues to work with Boeing on the 787's reliability.
An in-flight fire in an avionics bay in 2010 forced the 787 test fleet to be parked for six weeks and added six months to the delay of the plane's entry into service while engineers rewrote electricity-distribution software. That fire was traced to debris in an electrical panel, which is in the same bay under the cabin as the batteries in question.
Last month, electrical faults forced United and Qatar Airways to ground 787s. The plane is the first commercial airliner made chiefly of composite materials, instead of aluminum, and with an all-electric power system that uses five times as much electricity as other, similar jets.

Suspected vampire burial unearthed in Poland
Evidence of vampire burials continues to surface in Poland. Experts who recently excavated a 16th century grave in a small town in northwestern Poland say the body bore signs of an unusual ritual. According to CNN, the teeth had been removed, a rock inserted in the mouth and the leg had a stake through it. Last summer, Polish archaeologists discovered the remains of four headless skeletons at a construction site. Scholars say the gruesome burials reflect the medieval fear of vampires in the region.

"(Empire State Development Corp.) has had some very preliminary discussions, and we're certainly willing to continue discussions to see if we can help."'

The John Wayne Cancer Foundation (JWCF) has awarded a major grant to the Arizona Myeloma Network (AzMN) to support the organization's 5th Annual Navajo Nation Cancer Awareness and Advocacy Conference. This is the fifth year the JWCF has awarded a grant to AZMN. This free conference will be held at the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock, AZ on Saturday, June 23, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided, and 6 CME/CEU credits will be available for healthcare professionals who are attending this outstanding cancer education event.
"The John Wayne Cancer Foundation has been committed to our cancer conference from the beginning," states AzMN President Barbara Kavanagh. "Support from JWCF, in addition to other key sponsors, is what allows us to present programs for cancer education and awareness to the Navajo Nation each year. Our work is helping to change the way cancer is perceived on the Navajo Nation. People are now openly discussing cancer, and learning that early detection and treatment is available and effective." Many hundreds of cancer survivors, families, caregivers and healthcare providers have traveled from all 4 Corners of the Navajo Nation – Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, to learn and to share their cancer journey.
A grant from the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Phoenix Chapter, in 2008 made it possible for AzMN to start the Diné Women Helping Women (DWHW) program, which has trained over 50 women and men to give presentations about cancer prevention, early detection, screening and mammograms on the Navajo Nation. The DWHW program is coordinated by Jacquelyn Arviso, a Navajo woman who first volunteered for DWHW after her grandmother passed away from breast cancer.
"I came to a meeting, listened to the possibilities of what an outreach program would do for the community, and immediately decided that this was something we needed for our people. There was nothing like Diné Women Helping Women on the Navajo Reservation, and to get support, training and to be able to educate our people was something that I had to be a part of," she states.
Jacquelyn works closely with AzMN, as well as local resources: Davina Segay, Navajo Health Educator, and Dr. Patricia Lowery, Surgeon, and Gail Oglesbee, RN and Cancer Case Manager, both with the Fort Defiance Indian Hospital, among others. "The DWHW volunteers set up information booths at community health fairs, rodeos, Chapter houses and also do presentations in work settings," says Arviso.
The Conference faculty includes cancer researchers and leaders from the Mayo Clinic, AZ Cancer Center, NAU, and Fort Defiance Indian Hospital, as well as traditional healers, and health educators. Key sponsors include: Fry's Food Stores, Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation, Millennium Pharmaceutical, Sanofi-Aventis, Chevron Mining, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS), and the John C. Lincoln Hospital/Young Cancer Survivors program, among others.

just on a side note about kids belt, what happens if a kids belted a green belt then turns 16 or whatever do they wear that green belt or is it converted or do they get graded?
sorry just curious
back on topic, i like the system as it is. gives a belt real value if u have to work long and hard to achieve it.
Good points from Dave there.
One thing about the belt system I find in my dojo is that the belts are handed out for your 'on the mat' and competition performance.But also the for how long you have been there/attendance as well as technical ability and skill which doesnt always translate to being a tough jujitsuka.This I agree with because not everybody is an athlete or a born fighter,strong man etc.
I've always been led to believe that you get the belt once you can 'hang' with others at that belt level. If you can't match them, then you don't get the belt. Seems fair to me.
For the same reason, I don't like the handicap system in golf. If someone else is 10 strokes a round better that me, then they should just win every time.
Pretty much yeah. If you have a certain belt you would be expected to at least be able to make a fight of it with most guys the same size and age range.

Lexington, Ky. - The Brevard College Volleyball team was recognized as one of 57 NCAA Division II teams to receive the Team Academic Award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
The Tornados achieved above a 3.2 grade point average for the 2010-2011 academic year, recording a cumulative 3.3307 in the fall semester and a 3.38 GPA in the spring semester.
Overall, 478 teams earned the AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2010-2011 season. This number once again breaks the previous years' total of 450 and sets a new all-time high for this award.
The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
"A hearty congratulations to all the volleyball coaches whose teams won the 2011 AVCA Team Academic Award," said AVCA Executive Director, Kathy DeBoer. "Teams do not succeed in the classroom by accident any more so than they do on the court. The same coach who taught them volleyball skills cared enough about their academic achievement to gather their grades, calculate their GPA, and submit a nomination on their behalf. In doing so, these coaches sent a clear message that classroom success is just as important as court success. All involved should celebrate this award!"
The Team Academic Award has become one of the AVCA's fastest growing awards programs, seeing an impressive surge in teams honored over the past several years. Since the 2000-2001 season, the number of recipients has increased every single year but one, while amassing an overall 170% increase over the span of the decade. Since the award's inception in 1993, the award has risen by an astounding 674%. NCAA Division II recorded their highest-ever total number of recipients, honoring 57 programs while Division III easily surpassed last year's record of 75 winners with 88 this year. The high school division also set a new record with its 192 recipients.
Prior to 2010-11, only 11 teams had attained the pinnacle of volleyball success in both earning the AVCA Team Academic Award and winning their respective collegiate national championship in the same academic year. This year, the AVCA is proud to recognize two programs -- Concordia University-St. Paul (NCAA Division II), and Clearwater Christian College (NCCAA Division II) – both of whom excelled in the classroom and on the court.
Over 1,000 different schools have earned the award in the program's 19-year history, with exactly 4,294 awards been given out in total. Only two institutions, both high schools, have earned the distinction all 19 years: Jonesboro High School (Jonesboro, Arkansas) and Ross S. Sterling High School (Baytown, Texas).
The AVCA, with its headquarters in Lexington, Ky., is managed by Associations International. The mission of the AVCA is to develop and grow the sport of volleyball; with a membership of over 5,000 and counting, the AVCA provides a professional network for those individuals and companies dedicated to enhancing and developing the sport. Members are comprised of national and international coaches, collegiate, high school, club, youth and Olympic coaches, as well as club directors. Other members include former players, officials, media members and other friends of volleyball. As a group, the AVCA is committed to the development, growth, advancement and publicity of volleyball throughout the world. Further information is available at www.avca.org.

If choosing betwean vaccines which one to choose?
My husband an I were taking some time to think about vaccine. We heard reasons for and against, and weren't sure what to choose. What we surely accepted is that there is no need to hurry with vaccines, the more time you give to immune system to develop the better.
Now after a year, we are considering to give our child just some vaccines. But we are not sure which to chose?
11th February 2014 08:09 AM #2
Dear Tristana,
Thank you for your question.
I think you are wise to consider the likelihood of your child catching each specific disease as well as the risks associated with each vaccine. Look at what the incidence is of the different diseases in your country (this is the rate of the disease in the country). What are the symptoms associated with each disease and, upon contracting the disease, what it the likelihood of suffering from the severe symptoms? What are the risks associated with each vaccine and what are the chances of experiencing these. I think you need to weigh up all these issues.
Warm wishes,

3-Step wall repair
Photo 2: Embed
Embed paper tape in joint compound using a 6-in. taping blade. To avoid trapping air bubbles under the tape, moisten the paper tape with water, lay it over the crack and squeeze excess compound and air from underneath with the blade. Apply an additional thin layer of compound and feather it off 2 in. on both sides of the tape. Let dry.
Photo 3: Apply
Apply a second (and third, if necessary) coat of compound, smoothing it out 6 to 7 in. on both sides of the joint. Smooth the compound to a thin, even coat using long, continuous strokes with a 12-in. taping blade. Allow the repair to dry thoroughly, sand it smooth (avoid exposing the tape) and paint it.
As homes settle, cracks may radiate from the corners of doors and windows. Whether your walls are made of plaster or drywall, you can repair the cracks in two steps over a day or two—and get the area ready to sand and paint. Use paper tape; it's stronger than fiberglass tape for wall repairs. For cracks more than 1/4 in. deep, clean out the loose material and use a quick-setting crack filler like Durabond to build up the area level with the wall. Then use the steps shown in Photos 2 and 3 to fix it.

No Place Like Home
I got plenty of exercise on the trip, mostly climbing around San Francisco, but seeing groups of family also meant many massive meals (unintended alliteration). So between bedrest, jet-lag and high-calorie menus, I'm feeling a bit sluggish. The first order of business was to get back to the gym! Yesterday and this morning, I exercised both outdoors and indoors on a climber, still working my way back up to 5-mile stretches, and also doing some interval training. I lifted weights for the first time since before the study, lighter and with fewer reps than normal, but I still expect some soreness over the next few days. Eeeeaaaaasing back in.
One thing I have not resumed, however, is caffeine consumption. Despite never going anywhere near coffee, I've been addicted to caffeine for many years. I've weaned myself off it prior to each trip to NASA. Last time, I couldn't wait to have a coca-cola. Devin and I headed for a soda machine within an hour of rising from bed (i.e. as soon as we could hobble to it with coins). This time, however, I wanted to see if I could cut tea and colas -- both from my body and my budget -- for as long as possible. So far, so good.
I drink plenty of water daily, but have increased that in lieu of soda... and I switched from my normal Green Tea to a decaffeinated brand. I know I still get a little bit in chocolate, but nothing like what I used to chug. I'll be interested to see if I genuinely feel any difference in energy. I am definitely already sleeping more deeply. Here's hoping I can last for the summer, at least.
Catching up on email? Not quite as relaxing. What an avalanche! It will be a few days before I wade through each account, but of course I want to thank everyone who has sent me great links and articles. There's no chance I could possibly miss anything going on in the NASA or Star Trek multiverses anymore! Exciting preparations are being made for launches, a new "Moon" movie is due to be released soon, and current missions appear to be getting more press than in past years, which is great to see.
Special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. L, who forwarded a great link from ABC News: Atlantis Astronauts Share the Earthly Delights They Can't Live Without in Space. I loved this article for its accuracy, detail and astronaut pranks -- though probably the funniest bit was Mike Massimino casting his vote for the next Nobel Prize winner: whomever invents the technology to make pizza in space!
I guess we flight analogs are lucky, we get pizza on the ground -- but I don't know what they're complaining about; they get pudding and M&Ms! Definitely contraband at UTMB. However, despite the tiny differences and description of restrictions, I think this article clears up a few misconceptions about "food in space" ... namely that astronauts have no choice about their in-flight diets, that the food is barely palatable... or even that Tang and paste tubes are still staples. Those and other freeze-dried forms of torture from the early days are long, long gone.
More to come as I catch up! Thank you everyone for all your wonderful emails and support! :)

Oh, you've made it this far without caffeine. You're already in the home stretch! Just find another addiction. Mine is Vitamin Water. I had some for the first time after a race about a week ago, and have been craving it daily since then! I like the low-cal orange and lemon ones the best. Yum!

According to Pozdorovkin, they all shared a love of punk rock and avant-garde art.
The fact is that historically, art and sex have long been intertwined, particularly when dealing with the avant-garde.
The Fifty Year Sword By Mark Z. Danielewski A poetic, avant-garde "ghost story for grownups."
His pictures have stronger links to classic paintings, and to the 1960s avant-garde, than to Alfred Stieglitz and Ansel Adams.
Symbolizing CSM as a "creativity birth place," 1Granary took an avant-garde approach towards the creation to life.
Some might call it (as was said of her avant-garde Lanvin Oscar get-ups) fashion-person weird.
Reading the avant-garde stuff of nowadays, usually the contrast is merely grotesque, still I keep finding parallels.
Unlike elsewhere in Eastern Europe, there has been no experimental or avant-garde theater in Bulgaria.
She got possession of the kiln, as usual, and the ass was sent to graze on the green; but Mary was only the avant-garde.
The avant-garde of 500 regulars and 400 provincials, commanded by Lieut.-Col.
(also avant garde, avantgarde); French, literally "advance guard" (see avant + guard (n.)). Used in English 15c.-18c. in a literal, military sense; borrowed again 1910 as an artistic term for "pioneers or innovators of a particular period." Also used around the same time in communist and anarchist publications. As an adjective, by 1925.
The avant-garde générale, avant-garde stratégique, or avant-garde d'armée is a strong force (one, two, or three army corps) pushed out a day's march to the front, immediately behind the cavalry screen. Its mission is, vigorously to engage the enemy wherever he is found, and, by binding him, to ensure liberty of action in time and space for the main army. ["Sadowa," Gen. Henri Bonnal, transl. C.F. Atkinson, 1907]

Maddow shreds Giuliani for 'forgetting about 9/11'
By Stephen C. Webster
Is Rudolph Giuliani's political career over?
The former mayor of New York City has been making his rounds in U.S. media this week, trying to explain away his false claim that there were no domestic terrorist attacks on the United States during the Bush administration.
For a man often mocked as "the mayor of 9/11," that's an awfully bold suggestion, and one that could spell the end of his relevance in U.S. politics, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
"The whole reason anybody ever thought of Rudy Giuliani as a potential national figure for the Republican party is because of his supposed expertise," Maddow said during a Friday broadcast. "The supposed expertise he had with terrorism and national security because he had been the mayor of New York City when it was attacked on September 11."
He later explained that he meant say no domestic terrorist attacks since 9/11.
However, in what Maddow called "a strange colique" with CNN host Larry King, Giuliani dug his hole deeper, suggesting that shoe bomber Richard Reid attempted his act of terrorism before Sept. 11, 2001.
It actually took place in Dec. of that year, well after the attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.
"Rudy Giuliani's whole brand as a politician is based on 9/11, something he appears to have exploited so much that he's lost the capacity to deal with it as a factual matter," Maddow opined.
"Could he have meant that there were no other attacks that were considered by the Bush administration to have been terrorist attacks?" she asked. "Well, he couldn't have mean that either because the 2001 anthrax attacks were later described by Bush attorney general John Ashcroft as a 'terrorist act'. Maybe he thought the victims of the anthrax attack were dispersed over too large an area to count as a terrorist attack or something. But then, you know, there was the D.C. sniper case: 10 people gunned down in the Washington, D.C. area in October, 2002 by a pair of snipers, one of whom was later convicted on terrorism charges."
"There is no possible way in which he is making sense, unless he was seeing if he could get away with a mix of political fantasy and political spin," she concluded.
Raising the odd spectacle of both former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino and GOP strategist Mary Matalin conveniently forgetting that 9/11 happened during the prior administration, Maddow theorized aloud about things that happen "in threes."
"I wonder if the next ambition in political spin is to convince us all that 9/11 didn't happen while George W. Bush was president and Dick Cheney was vice president," she said. "Is that the plan?"
This video was broadcast by MSNBC on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, as snipped by Mediaite.

Texas notes: Lindsey taking flight
Fast-rising infielder sees power boost in debut with Travelers
By Todd Traub / Special to MiLB.com | July 30, 2013 6:00 AM ET
There may not be much more hand-wringing over Taylor Lindsey's hands.
Lindsey, the Arkansas Travelers second baseman and No. 4 Angels prospect, made some tweaks to his somewhat unorthodox batting stance -- mostly involving where he positions his hands at the start of his stance -- and he's responded with some career power numbers during his first taste of Double-A.
The 37th overall pick in the 2010 Draft, Lindsey is batting .278 and already has 13 home runs after going deep nine times in each of his past two seasons.
"I got stronger this year," said the 21-year-old. "I'm just hitting the ball harder. But that's baseball -- sometimes the ball flies, sometimes it won't find the hole. That's how it goes."
Lindsey was a supplemental first-round pick out of high school in Scottsdale, Ariz., but growing up in the heart of the Cactus League didn't cause him to fall in love with a specific club that trained in the area -- like the Angels, for example -- but it certainly helped whet his appetite for pro ball.
"It was a dream as a kid to be up there, and I didn't care what team got me," he said. "I was going to go out there and play every day and play as hard as I can and just work my way up the ladder and see how it goes."
Lindsey, who signed for $873,000, may have been something of a surprise pick at the time, but he responded with an MVP season for Orem in the Pioneer League and then skipped Class A to bat .289 in the California League, setting the table for his promotion to Arkansas to start this year.
"It's nice to hear all that," Lindsey said of being on an apparent fast track. "But I still have to go out there each day and prove I can hit and play the field and run and do all that stuff. It's still just me, every day, the same guy I've always been. I just go out there and play and have fun like I always do."
While he has good enough hands to play the infield, where to use those hands at the plate has been a work-in-progress. Lindsey likes to dig in with his hands low and then raise them late as he starts his swing. The Angels have been working with him to start with his hands higher.
Lindsey praised the Travelers staff and said he's incorporated some of the pointers without sacrificing any comfort.
"It's a mixture of both, but pretty much they left me alone to do what I want," Lindsey said.
Whatever adjustments he's made, Lindsey has found more power, even in the spacious confines of North Little Rock's Dickey-Stephens Park, where the left-center field gap is 410 feet and straightaway center is 400.
"If it goes down the lines, you've got a chance," said Lindsey, who has five homers at home.
Lindsey was a high school shortstop who's played only second as a pro. But he's mastering the mirror-reverse pivots well enough to be considered a prospect, hands up or hands down.
"It's an honor to be noticed like that," he said. "It's just baseball. You've got to have fun with the game, and good things happen if you have fun."
In brief
Major influence: Texas Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis made a rehab start Sunday with the Frisco RoughRiders against San Antonio, while San Antonio countered with former Detroit Tigers knuckleballer Eddie Bonine. Both struck out five over five innings as Lewis gave up three runs on four hits and Bonine yielded two runs on eight hits in Frisco's 8-3 victory.
Pitching in: Northwest Arkansas may lead the North Division, despite having the league's highest ERA (4.45), but new arrival Kyle Zimmer is doing his part to decrease that figure. The Kansas City Royals' top pitching prospect is 2-0 with an 0.00 ERA and 19 strikeouts over two starts.
Heating up: Johan Limonta's RBI double against Frisco in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday gave the San Antonio Missions their 17th victory in July, the club's best monthly performance since posting 20 wins in August 2011. The torrid pace is setting the stage for an exciting stretch as the Missions and Corpus Christi Hooks, the first-half champions, hold identical 22-15 records atop the division and meet for a three-game series this week in San Antonio.

MSN TV died today after a lingering illness, shortly after celebrating its 17th birthday. It is survived in Microsoft's consumer products division by the Xbox and the Microsoft Mouse. In lieu of flowers, Microsoft requests that somebody please buy a damned Windows Phone already.
As AllThingsD's Kara Swisher has reported, Microsoft is shuttering its MSN TV service in September, ending a saga that dates back to the early days of dot-com madness.
[ For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
The service began in 1996 as Web TV, a set-top box startup that was determined to bring this newfangled InterWebs thing into America's living rooms. The pitch was convincing enough to persuade Microsoft to drop $425 million for the company in 1997, despite the fact that hardly anyone had ever seen one of these things in the wild.
Six years later it morphed into MSN TV, a low-cost dialup service for couch potatoes with roughly 1 million subscribers at its peak. (Web TV was also briefly classified as munitions and banned from U.S. export thanks to its sophisticated 128-bit encryption technology -- the one and only time Microsoft was considered a danger to anyone but itself.)
I had a Web TV box in my living room for a few weeks. It worked about as well as you could expect. Viewing Web pages ona 27-inch Zenith TV was fun for about 15 minutes, mostly because it was such a new thing. The charm wore off quickly when I discovered that to move around a Web page I had to hop from hyperlink to hyperlink using the Tab button on thewireless keyboard.
When I heard that Microsoft had acquired Web TV, I remember thinking: Well, that's the last we'll see of that. Essentially it was. But Microsoft's $425 million mistake is hardly the only blunder made by high-tech companies with more money than sense. It's not even in the top five.
Yahoo made Mark Cuban a billionaire (and the bane of the NBA) when it acquired Broadcast.com for more than $5 billion in 1999. When's the last time you heard anyone talk about Broadcast.com? In 2008, AOL dropped $850 million on Facebook-wannabe Bebo only to dump it in 2010 for less than $10 million. (Bebo's original founder just bought the company back from those investors for $1 million.) News Corp. famously lost more than $500 million on MySpace. Cisco flushed nearly $600 million down the toilet on the Flip cam only to kill it within two years. The jury's still out on whether Facebook's acquisition of Instagram and Yahoo's swallowing of Tumblr will join this list a few years from now.
Somebody needs to either a) take away these people's check-signing privileges or b) convince them I'm a juicy acquisition target, ripe for the plucking.
Of course, hindsight is a great form of corrective lens. Back in the dot-comedy era, there was an intense push to get the Internet into everyone's living room, despite the fact the vast majority of Web surfers were still rolling at a leisurely 28Kbps. The fastest home connections were lucky to hit 1.5mbps going downhill with a stiff breeze behind them. And the combination of early HTML design and low-res television CRTswas not pretty-- even the few well-designed websites looked like they had been built out of Legos.
Clearly the notion of surfing the Web via the boob tube was an idea ahead of its time. Oddly, it still is. Even today, with high-definition flat screens and sophisticated Web video services and multi-megabit connection speeds, nobody's really surfing the Web from their couches. People are still using their TVs the way they always have: to watch shows. The big difference is that now they're also doing it via Netflix and Amazon Video and YouTube.
The real Web TV revolution did eventually happen -- but it took place on the other end of the connection, at the server level, not the couch.
RIP, MSN TV. You now join a robust list of Microsoft products moldering in the dustbins of tech history. Can anyone say they're surprised?
How many other dead Microsoft products can you name? Post your favorites below or email me: email@example.com.

I am trying to forget about tables and think about objects, i am a bit confused about this i appreciate your clarification, this is about relations between orders and invoices:In shopping cart user should be able to add multiple items but finally when order should be created, this is better to create separate record for each order item because some items may have recurring invoices and some items may not, or may be even some items are included for free like bonus etc. So to manage recurring invoices better to have separate order record for each item however all items were in one cart. But for these all order items there should be one initial invoice on first purchase (however for next recurring there might be separate invoice for each item) so at this time the relation from order to invoice at first time is many to one: Some order items have one invoice because purchased together at the same time and payment should be done once for all items. But on recurring invoices, the relation from order to invoice would be one to many, because order done once and has several recurring invoices, so thinking as object the relation between order to invoice is many to many? Right? I appreciate your advice.
First step might be to break out your main bushiness domain objects. I see:
Consider writing the name of each class on a 3x5 card and using it to help organize stuff.
Next, divide and conquer. ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartItem are pretty clear. In domain driven design terminology they would be known as a bounded context. As the user browses around they add items to their cart. No need to worry about checkout or orders or invoices at this point.
In a similar fashion, Order and OrderItem seem to go together. An OrderItem is similar to a ShoppingCartItem but will have different behavior within your order bounded context.
Then comes your invoice system and frankly your requirements were not at all clear to me. Clearly you have two kinds of invoices which somehow get tied to orders. But hopefully, by breaking things into there separate "bounded contexts" (ShoppingCart,Order,Invoice) thing will start to fall into place.
After finishing cart and going to checkout, a record for order should be created. Cinsider multiple products were in cart. Now for each product should be separate order record because of next recurring invoice, because a product may be one time and another one is monthly so if all of them are in one order record there will be a mistame in next recurring invouce? Right? So for each individual product regardless they are paid in one cart and one invoice, there should be a separate order created? If yes, these all orders must have one invoice because they are bought in one cart and one payment should be done so at this time the relation of order to invoice is many to one? Then on recurring invoices the relation of order to invoice is one to many? So actually the relation of order to invoice is many to many?
Association mapping is a bit complicated, but its actually not that bad. Usually association mapping is used for many-to-many relationships, although one to many can be done this way as well when needed. You have to think in object relations/associations, good examples will help you understand the concept better. Lets say you have a friends/contact system, you have a users table that stores users information, but where is the many-to-many relationship of friends going to be? You will need an association table, a table that maps friend-associations. This table should contain two columns, user1 and user2. When you search in this table, you know that a user is friend of another user if you can find such a record in the association table that user 1 maps to user 2 properly. The order may or may not matter, since friends can be unilateral or bilateral, but I hope you get the idea.
Thanks for nice explanation. But which asdociation structure do yku suggest for order to invoice as i dezcribed above?
Any advice yet?
Your requirements are unclear to me. Try writing a simple story. A customer comes to your site and want to buy one thing. Walk through the process and show what needs to be done then develop a model to support it. Then write more complicated stories.
I am asking association is good for the I said above? Many to many? One to many? Or?
I think it's a language barrier. This makes no sense to me in English:
Now for each product should be separate order record because of next recurring invoice, because a product may be one time and another one is monthly so if all of them are in one order record there will be a mistame in next recurring invouce?
That is why you need some code or maybe a diagram.
Ok, i try to say what i mean to ask in an example:A customer purchases 4 services at once. Service A must be paid right off. Service B is split in 3 payments billed once a month. Service C is a monthly subscription, billed until canceled. Service D is an yearly subscription, billed until canceled. How do I model the order and the invoices?
So you have an Order.an Order has 1 or more InvoicesI guess that an Invoice has a reference to a Product.
For the "bill once a month, bill once, etc", I would just use a property on the Invoice table. A boolean like "RecurringPayment". If it's false, it needs to be paid right away. If it's true, it needs to check the "RecurringPaymentPeriodType" property, which contains "monthly, weekly, whatever..". And the invoice could also has a "LastPaidDate" property, so your program knows when an invoice is due or not.
And how to model between product and order? Imagine we have 3 products, one is one time, another should be renewed monthly and 3rd product should be renewed yearly. But the buyer purchased all of these 3 products at once in a cart, so these all 3 products with different renewal cycle are in one order with one invoice. As about renewal problem you suggested to add a reference to product in invoice table that sounds reasonable. But now how to model between product and order?
Oops, sorry even if we have reference to product in invoice table, as i said 3 different products are purchased together in a cart so all of them has one invoice because payment is once for all products as they wrre in a cart together. So the reference to product in invoice table is still a problem as that invoice is the sum of 3 products! Please clarify.
I never worked on a system with recurring invoices. We paid everything all at once on the systems I worked on, so maybe I'm missing something here but here is what I would do...
Solution #1:The invoice would not be related necessarily to exactly what was added to a cart.You add 3 products with 3 different recurring period types, you have 3 different invoices. You could relate those invoices to a cart or an order or whatever you want to call it.Now, you don't want the customer to pay 3 different real invoices the same day, it should be all in one invoice if it's the case.The way I would do it is only with the "algorithm" that sends the invoices. It would take all the invoices due today, if there are more than 1 for the same customer, you send him only one "real invoice". The way to handle this is maybe by adding another table/object like grouped invoices? When the user pays his "grouped invoice", you mark the invoices as paid like you would if they were individually paid.
Solution #2You create the next invoice each time an invoice is paid. So, you have an invoice that contains 3 products. When it's paid, you check the invoice's products and if there are products that must be paid in a recurring fashion, you create the new "next invoices" with its due date.
About your last question, you will need a table between invoice and products, like INVOICE_PRODUCT with the fields PRODUCT_ID and INVOICE_ID (and possibly PRICE). The primary key of the table should be both PRODUCT_ID with INVOICE_ID. So that's a many to many relationship. That way, you can find out what products was bought for what invoice.
Now, you have to think carefully about "time". What happens if the price of the product changes over time? Will the payment process still work? Is there a "show last invoices" screen for the user? That's why I would probably copy the price in the relationship table. On system I worked on, all the product information was always copied into the invoices. If the product changes, is deleted, etc... the "invoice history" will still work and you'll still be able to run reports.
As abour order-invoice modelling, I looked at WHMCS.
If understood correctly. I see even if we order multiple products, we will have only one order record with one invoice. In order table we have invoice_id coloumn, but in invoice table there is no reference to order, so this is one way from order to invoice. On time of ordering, there will be separate record in hosting table for each item with recurring cycle and end_date e.g. 'Monthly' , '01-05-2014'. this table has reference to order table, let's name this table as 'Order_Items'. when cron runs, I think it is reading cycle and due date from hosting table and create a new invoice. Only a new invoice will be created, nothing else will be re-created. this invoice has only reference to client, there is no reference to order table nor to hosting table nor vice versa. Did I understand correctly?
If yes, then question is that if invoice will be overdue, then how the system understand which hosting package should be suspended as there is no reference from invoice to order nor to hosting?
Please tell me if I am correct guessing how they did model invoice and order?
Also to @ahundiak and everyone else!
Please read post above first.If I understood whmcs correctly, here is the scenario:
Is this the scenario of invoice creation of WHMCS? If yes, then if an invoice is overdue, how the system will know which hosting account should be suspended as there is no association from Invoice to OrderItems?
PS. OrderItems above is called 'hosting' in whmcs.
OK, so you're trying to understand how an existing system (WHMCS) database is structured and how it works? It should be part of you main question because I thought that you were trying to model one yourself, and there are probably millions of different ways to do that. I don't know WHMCS, but I found out that they have a forum and it seems pretty active. Did you try to ask there?
I am not sure if i understood that whmcs modelling I sadid in prev post correctly. Can someone rxplain if i uderstood that modelling correctly?

Feature & photos by Lisa Meyers McClintick
|Inside the Fargo Theatre.
The event takes the Fargo Theatre's usual focus on independent flicks and broadens it to a five-day event packed with documentaries, short films, animated films, foreign entries, talks with movie makers, and a two-minute movie contest that's especially popular with film students.
Among the standouts:
- "The Gruffalo" which was getting good Oscar buzz. The festival has a solid reputation for snagging good animated candidates, including last year's Oscar-nominated "Secret of the Kels."
- "Made in India," an eye-opening look at medical tourism and the newer trend of infertile couples seeking more affordable surrogates among impoverished Indian mothers.
- "A Lutefisk Western" and "Lutefisk Wars." How can you not be curious? If that doesn't seem local enough with the area's strong Scandinavian heritage, there also are films inspired by a local roller derby and several entries with Native American experiences and filmmakers.
If you can't make it for the festival, make it a goal to see the theater some other time. There are few places that tug at a person's nostalgia quite like restored movie houses. Fargo Theatre's blazing neon marquee makes it the flashy diva of the downtown cityscape.
For older generations, it brings back memories of the early 1900s with its Art Deco design and the Mighty Wurlitzer organ that gets cranked up for pre-show entertainment on weekends.
|Chainsaw Marge
Chainsaw Marge from "Fargo"Anyone who needs inspiration and assurance that non-mainstream movie-makers can climb to the top only has to climb to the second floor of the Fargo Theatre. That's the home of a chainsaw-carved rendition of "Marge" from the Coen Brothers' cult-classic "Fargo." The town may never live down the warped reputation it left (despite most of it being filmed in Minnesota). The twisted 1996 comedy did bring national attention to the town with the world premiere at the newly restored Fargo Theatre.
|Pre- or post-show treats at Nichole's Fine Pastry.
A theater from the golden-age of movies--rather than a shopping-mall complex--feels like the right place to savor cinema magic.

This press release is from Consumer Reports. Their findings on ground turkey are interesting and worth noting:
"YONKERS, NY — In its first-ever lab analysis of ground turkey products, Consumer Reports found potential disease-causing organisms in most of the samples it tested, many of which proved resistant to more than three antibiotic drug classes. Consumer Reports tested 257 samples purchased from stores nationwide.
"Our findings strongly suggest that there is a direct relationship between the routine use of antibiotics in animal production and increased antibiotic resistance in bacteria on ground turkey. It's very concerning that antibiotics fed to turkeys are creating resistance to antibiotics used in human medicine," said Dr. Urvashi Rangan, Director of the Food Safety and Sustainability Group at Consumer Reports. "Humans don't consume antibiotics every day to prevent disease and neither should healthy animals. Prudent use of antibiotics should be required to stem the public health crisis generated from the reduced effectiveness of antibiotics."
The complete report and analysis can be found in the June 2013 issue of Consumer Reports and online at www.ConsumerReports.org.
Consumer Reports Findings
Consumer Reports purchased 257 samples of raw ground turkey meat and patties, including products from major retailers and store brands, and tested them for the presence of five bacteria: enterococcus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), staphylococcus aureus, salmonella, and campylobacter. Below are some key findings. Additional data will be available at www.ConsumerReports.org.
· Overall, 90 percent of the samples had one or more of the five bacteria for which they were tested.
· Bacteria on ground turkey products labeled "no antibiotics," "organic," or "raised without antibiotics" were resistant to fewer antibiotics overall than bacteria found on conventional products.
· Bacteria related to fecal contamination were found on the majority of samples. Sixty-nine percent of ground-turkey samples harbored enterococcus, and 60 percent E. coli.
· Three samples were contaminated with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
· Salmonella, which is one of the top causes of foodborne illness, was found in 12 of the samples tested (5 percent) and two-thirds of them were multidrug resistant; government studies typically find higher rates of salmonella, at around 12 percent. Processing plants are permitted by the government to have product contamination rates as high as 49.9 percent.
· Consumer Reports also found much more resistance to classes of antibiotics approved for use in healthy turkeys to promote growth and prevent disease than for those not approved for such uses.
What Consumers Can Do
Common slip-ups while handling or cooking can put consumers at risk of illness. Although the bacteria Consumer Reports found are killed by thorough cooking, some can produce toxins that may not be destroyed by heat, so take the following precautions:
Tips for Choosing Meaningful Labels while Shopping for Turkey:
· Buy turkey labeled "organic" or "no antibiotics," especially if it also has a "USDA Process Verified" label, which means that the agency has confirmed that the producer is doing what it says.
· Consider other labels, such as "animal welfare approved" and "certified humane," which mean that antibiotics were restricted to sick animals.
· Be aware that "natural" meat is simply minimally processed, with no artificial ingredients or added color. It can come from an animal that ate antibiotics daily.
Tips for Safer Preparation and Handling:
· Buy meat just before checking out, and place it in a plastic bag to prevent leaks.
· If cooking meat within a few days, store it at 40º F or below. Otherwise, freeze it. (Note that freezing may not kill bacteria.)
· When cooking ground turkey, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the proper internal temperature of at least 165º F to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
· Wash hands and all surfaces after handling ground turkey.
· Don't return cooked meat to the plate that held it raw.
· Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers within two hours of cooking.
What Regulators and Congress Should Do
Consumers Union, the policy and advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, has urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to restrict the use of antibiotics in food animals since the 1970s. The FDA should prohibit antibiotic use in livestock except for the treatment of veterinarian-diagnosed sick animals.
"The current FDA guidance is not adequate—it simply calls for voluntary changes by industry. This will not get the job done," said Jean Halloran, Director of Food Policy Initiatives at Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports.
Consumers Union believes the FDA – or Congress, if the FDA will not act – should take the following steps:
· Phase out the use of antibiotics in livestock except for the treatment of sick animals.
· Require drug companies and feed mills to disclose sales of antibiotics for use in food animals, broken down by drug, animal species and purpose (growth promotion, disease prevention, disease treatment).
Consumers Union further urges the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which is charged with ensuring the safety of ground turkey, to do the following:
· Reduce its current allowable level of salmonella contamination in ground turkey tests from 49 percent, to at most 12 percent, a standard most of the industry already meets.Require strains of salmonella that have previously caused human illness, and that are also antibiotic resistant, to be treated as adulterants.
