Lexus ambassador and former Formula One world champion Alan Jones has been inducted into the newly formed Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame.
Jones won the world championship for the Williams team in 1980 and clinched 12 Grand Prix victories from 116 starts over an illustrious, decade-long Formula One career.
He was also successful in other motorsport disciplines, winning the 1982 Australian Sports Sedan and GT Championship, 1993 Bathurst 12 Hour, 1995 Winfield Triple Challenge, and posted multiple podium finishes in the Australian Touring Car Championship.
Since finishing his active racing career Jones has been a prominent commentator and now serves as a guest steward at specific Formula One races around the world – a role that sees him provide his knowledge and experience to the permanent stewards when adjudicating on racing incidents.
The Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame (AMSH) is an initiative of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) in collaboration with other associations to honour those who have achieved significant success in motor sport.
Jones, who will attend the inauguration dinner this Saturday on the eve of the 2016 Australian Formula One Grand Prix in Melbourne, said he was elated by the accolade.
"I'm honoured and delighted, particularly because it's the first hall of fame for motor sport in this country," he said.
"The inauguration dinner will be a great opportunity to be in the same room as so many luminaries from our sport."
Lexus Australia chief executive Peter McGregor said the luxury marque was proud to be affiliated with Jones.
"We would like to congratulate Alan on this wonderful achievement – a worthy recognition of his significant contribution to motor sport over many years," he said.
"Lexus greatly values its association with Alan, and both we and our guests appreciate his knowledgeable input to our activities, including launches and drive days."

Dear Sunset.com, we need to talk. Up until now, I've enjoyed your decorating ideas, your style tips and your recipes. But recently, I came across an article of yours that left me feeling a little, well, bereft. I think you know what this is about. It's about your Quick Bread in a Bottle. You teased me with a picture of a beautiful glass bottle and put that adorable little label on the front, but then you ended the article too soon, with only the barest of details for making it myself.
In my quest to duplicate your amazing looking glass milk bottles, I've had to venture out on my own to find answers to the questions you so cruelly left me with.
DON'T MISS: Vintage and Thrifty Finds
The first question I had was where can I find some of those bottles you used, without spending a small fortune.
After spending an unsuccessful day looking for an "independent food market," and not willing to spend $22 per bottle at an antique mall, I thought about what you said about using quart-size canning jars. But let's face it, they just don't have the same wow factor as the glass milk bottles. Otherwise you would have had a canning jar in the picture, right?
I did find these plastic bottles in my local grocery store and wondered if they would work.
So I gave it a try.
But here's the thing about plastic bottles. They may look like their glass counterparts, but they don't actlike them. No matter how carefully I packed those ingredients in there, the sugar and flour kept sneaking down the sides to hang out with the brown sugar and the rolled oats. That's not what it looked like in your picture.
So I went in search of glass milk bottles again, this time on the internet. After a bit of Googling, I found what I was looking for: a dozen quart sized traditional glass milk bottles for $14.95 plus $5.95 shipping from Wasserstrom Company. That works out to be about $1.74 per bottle. Music to my pocketbook.
And I'm happy to say that I didn't have to wait long for the bottles to arrive from Wasserstrom, even with standard shipping. I ordered them on Tuesday, and they arrived on Friday.
The bottle issue resolved, my next question was how did you get all those ingredients to fit in there?
I tried to "tamp each layer well," but those ingredients refused to play nice and squeeze themselves into the bottle all at once. I secretly suspect that you only used 1/2 cup of oats, to have so much room left at the top of the bottle, but that's okay. I was finally able to get the ingredients to cooperate, with no omissions. The key was using a wooden dowel, which I just happened to have on hand. You could also use the bottom of a wooden spoon, or really any object with a flat bottom that's long enough to put through the opening.
I used a paper funnel to get the ingredients in the bottle, and then I layered them in the order listed below. I also split the 2 cups of flour so I would have seven layers, like you did.
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Just before adding the chocolate chips, I used a mini-spatula to get the flour off the sides of the glass, and then a paper towel around the neck. That made the glass at the top sparkly clean, like yours, so the next two layers weren't looking through a foggy haze of flour.
I used the dowel again lightly to compact the mini chocolate chips and then the walnuts. To my amazement, all the ingredients fit perfectly. It's like you planned it that way or something.
But what are nice glass bottles and layered ingredients if you don't have a cute little label to put on the front? This was the question that had kept me up at night: where can I find the template for that label? You barely even mentioned it, except to say that you adhered it with double-stick tape.
Since it seemed pretty clear that a template wasn't forthcoming, I did the only thing left to do. I set to work and created one myself. It took some time and a good bit of negotiating with my computer, but overall I think I came pretty close.
I printed them out onto brown craft paper, which I found on a roll with the wrapping paper at the store, and cut it down to size so it would fit through my printer. Then I used colored pencils to add a little bit of color, just like yours.
I also created a label for the back of the bottle. You didn't show us what yours looked like, so I put my creative cap on and added a couple of cute illustrations to the instructions and tried to make it look like it belonged with the one on the front.
And while my creative juices were flowing, I also made a gift tag with a little measuring cup, and tied it onto the bottle with some red and white baker's twine.
So I just wanted to let you know that I figured it all out, okay? And you don't have to feel bad anymore about leaving me on my own to recreate your bottle. I'm sure it has been weighing on your conscience. But I appreciate all your creative ideas and I hope you keep them coming. I'm not afraid anymore.
And reader, now you can go out and make some bread-in-a-bottle gifts like the one you pinned, too. You can download the template for both the front and back labels, as well as the gift tag here. [This design is for personal use only, and not to be used for commercial purposes.] All I ask in return is that you pretty please take a second and leave some comment love below. Let everyone know who you'll be making your glass milk bottles for, or if you found another source for the bottles, or if you're using another recipe, or just to say hey. Deal? Thanks a bunch.
And as always, thanks for stopping by!

So as I briefly mentioned before, my FLGS has closed down. This is especially a bummer for several reasons: it was the closest game store to my house, it had the friendliest environment of all the stores in town (in my opinion), and the owner was a personal friend of mine. The good news is that the closing isn't out necessity - the store was operating in the black, but he simply felt that the time he had to invest in the game store vs. the financial return wasn't really worth it anymore. (He has two young children that he wants to spend more time with, and he hasn't taken a vacation in over five years, so I can't really say that I blame him). The other good news is that he's going to keep the store's Internet forums active, and the gamers that called the store home are going to try to form an informal club that will occasionally get together for games & tournaments.
I stopped by a couple of weeks after he made the announcement, only to find him packing stuff away - it seems someone made an offer to buy out the majority of his inventory that he thought was fair, and he said "If there's anything you want to buy, you better get it today"). I picked up a few things that I had my eye on for a while:
A Witchfate Tor. Tower of Sorcery - I've been drooling over this model since it came out, and almost talked myself into it several times, but couldn't really justify it since I'm new to Fantasy, and my Fantasy army is a long-long-term project anyway, but it was still in the store that day, so I grabbed it.
An Ork Boss Snikrot - this model must have come in after I had bought most of the stuff I needed for my Freebootas, as I don't remember seeing it on the shelf before - I wasn't really planning on running him, but the mechanic of Kommandos coming in from any table edge just sounds too cool not to try out. Now I just have to get some Kommandos...
A Man-O-War Shock Trooper for my Khador Warmachine force - I actually need three of these, but I picked up the only one that was left.
...and a whole stack of White Dwarf back issues. These were going for 50 cents each, so I grabbed one of every copy he had in stock.
He was also selling off the fixtures & gaming tables - I might have picked up some other items that may make an appearance in the dedicated gameroom that I'll be building someday...

We are told that on the morning of December 14, 2012, a single gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, for no discernible reason, barged into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
There, despite his "very poor muscle tone" and "very very poor motor skills" which typify those afflicted with Asperger syndrome, Lanza managed to shoot to death 20 first-graders and 6 adults in less than 5 minutes.
That's just one of the reasons why many now believe the Sandy Hook shootings to be what former state trooper Wolfgang Halbig calls "a contrived event."
In addition to the parents' absence of signs of grief, the resemblances of Sandy Hook people to crisis actors, the RIP and donation sites that were created days before the massacre, the strange Social Security Death Index for Lanza that said he had died a day before the massacre, and the continuing lack of transparency from state officials, here's another oddity: 6-year-old child victim Noah Pozner's parents.
Put simply, Noah's mom Veronique may not be who she says she is. And Noah's dad, Lenny, is dissembling about his son's photos, allegedly taken a month apart.
Noah's mother: Veronique Haller Pozner
Noah's mom, Veronique Haller Pozner, waves to the assembled media as she leaves after the funeral service in Fairfield, Conn. (AP) Her 6-year-old boy was shot "multiple times," with his jaw blown away, but this mother had the presence of mind to put on rouge, eye makeup, and red lipstick just 3 days later.
On December 17, 2014, three days after the massacre, the funeral service for little Noah was held in Fairfield, Connecticut, where his body reportedly laid in an open casket — a simple brown wooden casket with a Star of David on it.
Since the service was closed to the news media, Noah's maternal uncle, Alexis Haller, was the source of information about the funeral. An outspoken advocate for gun control who lives in Seattle, Washington, Haller told the Associated Press, "If Noah had not been taken from us, he would have become a great man. He would have been a wonderful husband and a loving father."
Bizarrely, Noah's mother, Veronique Haller Pozner, who herself is a gun control advocate, later accused her brother Alexis of speaking without her authorization.
Veronique also told the Jewish Daily Forward that she'd made the painful decision to have an open casket for her son's wake in order to show people the "ugliness" of gun violence. She said, "We all saw how beautiful he was. He had thick, shiny hair, beautiful long eyelashes that rested on his cheeks. He looked like he was sleeping. But the reality of it was under the cloth he had covering his mouth there was no mouth left. His jaw was blown away."
The press tells us Veronique is an oncology nurse. Naomi Zeveloff reports for Forward, Dec. 26, 2012, that "On the morning of December 14, Veronique was at the medical center where she works as an oncology nurse when she received an automated text message alerting her that there was a reported shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. … Veronique drove at 80 miles per hour to the school, praying that her car's faulty engine would hold up."
Reporter Zeveloff did not name the medical center, but an article in USA Today of Dec. 18, 2012, says "Veronique Pozner was at work at Grove Hill Medical Center in New Britain, 38 miles from the Sandy Hook school, administering chemotherapy to cancer patients when a patient got an alert about the Sandy Hook shootings, said Doreen Berube, the office administrator. Pozner, an oncology nurse, came to Berube and said simply, 'I've got to go."'
I searched Grove Hill Medical Center's website for both Veronique Pozner and Doreen Berube, but found nothing.
I did find a barebones page for Veronique Pozner on LinkedIn (see below), which says she is a registered nurse at Grove Hill Medical Center in New Britain, CT, but gives no information as to her education, which is odd.
Odder still, Pozner's LinkedIn page as 0 connections. Frankly, I know of no one who's on LinkedIn with zero connections. That defeats the purpose of having a LinkedIn page because LinkedIn is a career-oriented social networking site for professionals and business people.
However, as some bloggers discovered, there is a Veronique Haller, identified on the website of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce as the Legal Counselor for the Swiss Embassy in Washington, D.C.! Veronique Haller, however, is not on LinkedIn.
Noah's dad: Leonard ("Lenny") Pozner
The USA Today article describes Veronique Haller Pozner as a single mom of five: two older children (a daughter and a son) from her first marriage, and three younger children from her second marriage to Lenny Pozner — a daughter Sophia, and twins Noah and Arielle.
According to the account in Forward, in 2005, Veronique and Lenny had relocated to Newtown from nearby Bethel (they had previously lived in Westchester.)
Oddly, although Lenny is the father of Noah, he did not attend his slain son's funeral. Instead, after the Jewish shiva mourning period, Lenny "went to be with family in Florida."
But Lenny Pozner did upload photos of Noah to his Google Plus account, which blogger Timothy Hunter discovered. Hunter noticed that Noah's hair length was very different in two photos that were taken just a month apart.
Note from Eowyn (March 20, 2015): The photos of Noah which were in the original version of this post have been removed because Lenny claims copy right over all images of Noah and succeeded in getting WordPress, the server of Fellowship of the Minds, to unilaterally take down those pics. If FOTM continues to post pictures of Noah, WordPress threatens to shut down this blog.
A comparison of Noah Pozner in the two photos, supposedly taken a month and a day apart, shows Noah #2 as having a lot more and much longer hair than Noah #1. In just a month!
When Hunter points out that hair doesn't grow that fast in just a month, Lenny Pozner actually responded to Hunter with the lame explanation that Noah's hair was so much longer in the 2-26-2012 pic because the boy was wearing a wig.
Why would anyone put a wig on a 6-year-old boy?
Hunter's guess is that Lenny had uploaded a bunch of Noah's younger pictures to his Google Plus account to give "the illusion that they were living normal lives up until the event [Sandy Hook massacre] took place." That would explain why Noah's hair managed to "grow" INCHES in just a month.
In Hunter's words: "The alleged victims of Sandy Hook would have to be years older than we were told by the media for this hoax to work, and all credible evidence points to this fact – the Photoshopped pictures, their likenesses (only a few years older) appearing at the Super Bowl, and the appearance of their likenesses in a 2006 album called End Times."
Here's Hunter on the Noah photos and Lenny's lame explanation:
Note from Eowyn (March 20, 2015): Lenny Pozner succeeded in shutting down Timothy Hunter's YouTube and Twitter accounts. Hunter's blog is no longer active.

Hairstyles, Hair Care & Fashion
Hairstyles for Older Women
Silver Hair and Makeup
The Sexy Silver Fox Club has beckoned and with a little bit of trepidation and fear you decide to go completely natural with your hair and now everyone you meet is telling you just how stunning you look. Some of your friends are even saying that "if they had your natural hair coloring they would let theirs grow out too."
The perfect hairstyle is of the utmost importance when you want to look your best. A shorter cut always looks better than
long grey or silver hair
hanging along the sides of your face. The longest it should be is barely tipping your shoulder, you can always wear it back or up when desired and depending upon whether you have a short or long forehead would depend upon wearing some sort of bangs, but not necessarily long straight ones, leave that for the very young. Very few women of any age can wear the severely straight angled bang across their forehead successfully.
There are times when you need a little bit of softness, not severity. Ideally a soft fringe around the face that comes just under the cheekbones can be very attractive as it will cut any extra pouch that you might have in your face. The secret is to accent the positive and eliminate the negative. In fact, I think there was an old song to that tune. Another suggestion would be sure and wear your hair above your collar or touching it, with choppy short layers 5 cm or 2 inches around your head.
Remember, the shorter you go, the thinner you'll appear. It will make no difference if you wear your long hair up and try to give the illusion of short hair. When you have silver hair and wear it up; it will still age you, unless you have the face and figure of
in which case, then; you belong on R
ipley's Believe it or Not
. Therefore, when you belong to the Sexy Silver Fox Club, you learn the tricks of an illusionist. Move over David Copperfield!
If you have an exceptionally large or tiny head or face, you do not want to go too short, because that is all people will see. If you have been wearing your hair in a medium short bob, why not try something different with a little curl or wave in your cut. Go slowly and experiment and ask your friends advice.
Silver hair reacts differently than your younger natural sister color did, sometimes it will come in sticking boldly up, daring you to pluck it out. It can be dry as a bale of hay or it can also be very soft or fine. Whatever way it comes in, it won't react the same as your other color and it is for this reason that you need to scout around and find the perfect shampoos and moisturizers that work for your new hair. Go to websites that specialize in Silver hair and start educating yourself, because silver hair is very trendy today and you look sexy.
When it comes to looking natural, the Sexy Silver Fox Club always admits they need a little help in the
makeup department
. We can wear a lot of makeup as long as it is the right colors and blended well. Decide what your skin tone is, for example if you tend to have a shallow skin, you will want to apply a foundation with pink or rose tones as this will help balance your color.
If you happen to have too much pink or ruddiness in your features, then, you can apply a beige color. There is also correcting colors such as green that can go on first, before the initial foundation. No, you won't look green, but it does wonders for problem skin.
Always feel free to use concealment in the inner corners of your eyes where dark circles tend to begin. Sometimes a lighter concealor isn't always the answer. For example, if your eyes are set far apart the last thing you want to do is to put a light concealor in the inner corners of your eyes. Rather use a medium beige color, in that way you are helping to cover up the darker splotches and still draw your eyes closer.
Dark closes in, white expands. A medium toned pancake makeup will substitute for a concealor anytime. Tag both sides of your nose where one of the first trouble spots begin on the face with broken capillaries, then take a good look and dot around your face where necessary and pat lightly with your index finger.
Always use a lip liner and brush in your color naturally. The lip liner is also good if you are particular fond of a lip pencil. If you have those dreaded wrinkled lines around your mouth and find that no matter what lipstick you put on, it seems to bleed through; try a matt lipstick, blot and then pat with a light powder. If you have thin lips draw your lips just outside their original form by first placing a dot in the center below the bottom, one on each side and then, sketch the lines.

MONTREAL—The board of directors of Botox-maker Allergan has unanimously rejected an improved takeover offer by Quebec-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: VRX).
Allergan says the offer undervalues the California-based company and creates significant risks and uncertainties for its shareholders.
Earlier this month, with the backing of activist shareholder Bill Ackman, Valeant raised its stock-and-cash bid to about $180 per share U.S., valuing Allergan at more than $54 billion U.S..

What Is Body Rash?
What Are The Causes Of A Body Rash?
Body rashes developing on your skin's surface could mess up your self confidence and self esteem more so if it happens to attack your face. It is therefore of great importance to identify possible causes that could lead to body rashes so as to avoid them in any way possible. Body rashes do not choose a certain age but they may implant themselves anywhere the causing factors are available. Below are some of the possible causes:
- Accumulation of toxins
Most inflammations in the body occur as a result of accumulated toxin, which occurs in the event of failure of the cleansing system in the body. These toxins build up considerably thus adversely affecting human beings health. Since the skin is a major excretion organ, the adverse effects of the accumulated toxins in the body are easily noticeable as skin disorders, or body rashes.
- Poor hygiene
A dirty environment is ideal for occurrence of body rashes. The sweat and grease building up on your skin as dirt, blocks the tiny skin pores which are used as breathers. This leads to irritation on the surface of the skin
- Climatic condition changes
With some people, a change in climate can result in skin rashes which disappear immediately after they return to the climatic condition they are used to. For instance some people develop body rashes during cold season and hot season as weather changes during the day.
- Allergy brought about by certain types of food
A number of people are known to be affected adversely by some sorts of foods that their bodies are allergic to. For instance some people develop itching body rashes in the event of eating either meat or wheat. The best remedy for such a condition is seeking a doctor's attention with immediate effect and thereafter adhering to the corrective orders given on the types of foods your body is allergic to.
- Use of beauty products as cosmetics
Some skins are made up of a very sensitive coating which reacts adversely to the use of cosmetics, beauty creams and lotions. This ends up resulting in body rashes which look bad and could be quite irritating. The best thing to do in this case is to see a doctor as continued use of skin care creams to cure the rashes could be harmful to your skin's health with the rashes getting worse.
- Dry skin and effect of heat
Dry skins are more vulnerable to body rashes as the natural skin oils that keep the skin moisturized are not present in this case. This enables the possibilities of skin inflammation thus resulting in skin conditions such as body rashes. Moreover, heat could also have an adverse effect on the skin. A person that is enclosed in a hot and moist place which is scarcely aerated could be susceptible to body rashes.
- Medical disorders
Occurrence of body rashes could just as well be triggered by some diseases which attack internal body organs such as the kidney, liver or even develop cancerous cells within our bodies. In the event of such situations, the body rash depicts a certain medical disorder happening within the body, which cannot be traced from outside. This is a bit tricky to notice since ignoring the body rash could prove to be disastrous. As time goes by the internal disorder continues to worsen just as the rash worsens.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Body Rash?
Signs and symptoms of body rashes vary greatly, with each signifying a certain disorder or disease. For example:
- Signs of diabetic body rash
These body rashes tend to be dark by nature and slightly raised. They are itchy and irritating with no sure way to cure the pain. This is a good reason to be alarmed that diabetes has infected your body and you need to take caution before it starts affecting you.
- Signs and symptoms of tick bite body rash
These can be seen with a close look. They are itchy and irritating as the blood cells beneath the skin is poisoned with the tick bite infection.
- Symptoms of human parasite
The signs are more or less same to those of the tick bite body rashes
- Symptoms of body yeast infection
These feature very small rashes and they are mostly due to the effect of internal body heating. They are also irritating and itch considerably.
- Signs of AIDS body rash
These are darkening, bumpy rashes that are raised above the skin all over the whole body from the chest, face, neck to the back. For the light colored skins they tend to get reddish brown.
Home Remedies For Body Rash
The treatment of body rashes could be prescribed by a physician depending on the cause of the condition. Some body rashes simply require a home remedy to do away with the rushes, while others call for the attention of doctors and are signs of a hidden disease that is much more severe than just a body rash. For instance diabetes or AIDS body rashes cannot be cured at home as the cure requires some deeper attention by the doctor.
If the cause of the body rash is not that complicated, there are home remedies which can help. Examples of these home remedies are. Remember, you should always consult with your physician in order to get a proper diagnosis and before trying to incorporate these home remedies yourself!
- Chamomile tea- Washing part of the body that is infected with the rashes using chamomile tea can help greatly in treating them. You can use chamomile on the infected skin part at least once per day as well. Continued use of chamomile over a few days will see skin rashes start disappearing.
- Honey and cider vinegar- Applying raw vinegar from apple cider can help in treating body rashes. It can be mixed with honey for fast and effective results. You can take a tablespoon of honey and cider vinegar thrice per day to realize effective results. It is important to ensure that honey is obtained locally to ensure it is of good quality.
- Poppy seeds- These can help in treating body rashes when crashed and mixed with water. Crashed poppy seeds should be mixed with lime juice to realize better results. The mixture should be applied on the infected part on daily basis especially after taking a bath.
- Oatmeal- Taking a bath with water mixed with oatmeal can help in treating body rashes. A cup of oatmeal should be poured in the water then soaked properly before bathing. It is important to note that oatmeal should be used in bathing and not cooked.
- Olive oil- Olive is known to feature therapeutic pigments. These help cure body rashes by easing the itching effect and reducing the inflammation caused by the body rash. With olive oil it is applied directly to the affected spot on the surface of the skin and it has a soothing characteristic.
- Oils with Vitamin E- This is a unique home-made remedy for body rashes. It helps heal body rashes by soothing the affected and itching skin. This is proven to work effectively as it softens and moisturizes affected skin areas.
- Oil from cod liver- This is such a wonderful extract which although very stinky by nature provides an excellent cure for body rashes from home. It is known to considerably reduce the itching of a body rash by soothing the surface of the skin affected.
- Oatmeal- No one usually believes that such a boring meal can come to his or her rescue in the event of a body rash. However, it does help greatly in getting the condition healed by reducing the itching and resolving the skin inflammation.
- Almond- Almond leaves are another effective treatment for body rashes. Smash almond leaves then apply the solution on the affected body part. Smashed almond should be applied on the skin part with rash infection on daily basis for effective results.
- Vitamin C- Eating food rich in vitamin C can also be used in treating body rashes. You need to ensure that your food is rich in vitamin C by including foods such as cauliflower, brussel sprouts, bell peppers, parsley, strawberries and lemon juice among others.
These are just some of the most common home and herbal remedies for body rashes. Others include; holy basil, cold liver and vitamin E.
Prevention Of Body Rash
- Avoid allergic foods that are known for bringing about irritations.
- Consider increasing the intake of foods rich in vitamin C as they are known to consist of an anti-oxidant feature, which is required to fight conditions such as body rashes.
- Keep the skin surfaces that are already affected aerated as much as possible to avoid effect of heat on the body rash, which can boost itching and irritation.
- In the event of washing the affected skin areas, make sure that you use water that is warm and avoid rubbing it after cleaning it.
- Take caution with beauty products which are widely known to adversely affect many people who have used them before. This could cause an immediate allergic reaction on the areas you apply them. Also avoid using any kind of cream or lotion on the area affected.
- Lastly, avoid in any way scrubbing the affected area or exposing it to direct sunlight as this could increase the inflammation caused by the body rash.

GTx Provides Corporate Update and Reports First Quarter 2018 Financial Results
-- Completed patient enrollment in the ASTRID Trial, a Phase 2 double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of enobosarm in Stress Urinary Incontinence --
-- Top-line results from the ASTRID Trial expected early in the fourth quarter of 2018 --
-- Podium presentation at the 2018
"GTx is off to a strong start in 2018, with data presented at the SUFU
Meeting in March supporting enobosarm's potential to treat stress
urinary incontinence (SUI). The data included additional positive
results in a subset of women with both SUI and urge incontinence," said
Clinical Highlights and Anticipated Milestones
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI):
Enobosarm, a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM), is being evaluated in Phase 2 clinical development for SUI, the Company's lead indication. Recent and upcoming important milestones are summarized as follows:
Prostate Cancer:
The Company has a Selective Androgen Receptor Degrader (SARD) preclinical program to evaluate its novel SARD technology in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The Company has ongoing mechanistic preclinical studies designed to select the most appropriate compound to potentially advance into a first-in-human clinical trial.
First Quarter 2018 Financial Results
About the Phase 2 Proof-of-Concept Clinical Trial
The single-arm, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial is evaluating enobosarm in postmenopausal women with SUI, and is the first clinical trial to evaluate an orally-administered selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) for SUI. This clinical trial is closed to enrollment; more information about the clinical trial can be found here.
About the Phase 2 ASTRID Clinical Trial
In addition to the Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial being
presented at AUA, GTx also has a larger, ongoing, placebo-controlled
Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating enobosarm in postmenopausal women with
SUI. The study, called ASTRID (Assessing Enobosarm for Stress
Urinary Incontinence Disorder), completed enrollment
(n=493) recently and is being conducted at over 60 clinical trial
centers across the
About Enobosarm and SUI
Enobosarm (GTx-024), a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), has been evaluated in 25 completed or ongoing clinical trials enrolling over 2,100 subjects, in which approximately 1,500 subjects were treated with enobosarm at doses ranging from 0.1 mg to 100 mg. At all evaluated dose levels, enobosarm was observed to be generally safe and well tolerated. The rationale for evaluating enobosarm as a treatment for SUI is supported by preclinical in vivo data demonstrating increases in pelvic floor muscle mass following treatment with GTx's SARM compounds, including enobosarm, and the proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial of enobosarm 3 mg for the treatment of postmenopausal women with SUI.
About Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the unintentional leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing or physical exercise. SUI, the most common type of incontinence suffered by women, affects up to 35 percent of adult women. There are a variety of treatments that are used to treat SUI in women, such as behavioral modification and pelvic floor physical therapy, especially as initial treatment options. As the condition worsens however, bulking agents and surgical procedures are often the most widely used treatments.

Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty
This press release contains forward-looking statements based upon
GTx's current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and include, but are not limited to, statements relating
to GTx's ongoing clinical development of its selective androgen receptor
modulator (SARM) compounds. GTx's actual results and the timing of
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties,
which include, without limitation, the risks (i) that the Phase 2
placebo-controlled clinical study being conducted by GTx for the
treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may not be completed on
schedule; (ii) that additional clinical development of GTx's SARM
compound for the treatment of SUI will be required beyond the ongoing
study; and (iii) any future development of SARMs in SUI is contingent on
obtaining sufficient additional capital to permit such development,
which it may be unable to do. In addition, GTx will continue to need
additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which
would force GTx to delay, reduce or eliminate its product candidate
development programs and potentially cease operations. GTx's actual
results and the timing of events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these

Lower Back Pain Treatment With Our Chiropractor in Beaverton
Lower back pain is disturbing for many reasons -- not only the agony itself, but also the worry about not being able to work, the frustration over not being able to enjoy our favorite activities, and the fear that you might have to undergo risky spinal surgery. Fortunately, Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center can help you get your life back without surgery or narcotic painkillers.
Our chiropractor in Beaverton, Dr. Kathy Cantwell, offers a variety of safe, natural therapeutic methods to relieve your lower back pain and restore normal function.
Lower Back Pain Treatment in Beaverton
Lower back pain comes in more forms, and springs from more potential causes, than you might realize. Acute lower back pain is often associated with a recent injury. Dr. Cantwell sees many patients who have been involved in auto accidents, workplace accidents and personal accidents in the home. A collision with another vehicle or a bad fall can dislodge lumbar vertebrae and the discs that cushion them, pushing the vertebral joints out of alignment. A heavy-lifting mishap can herniate lumbar discs, stretch ligaments and tear tendons and muscles. But you can also develop lower back pain gradually through chronic spinal alignment problems and overuse injuries that stress the large muscles that support the back. Even the simple process of getting older can lead to lower back pain due to bulging discs, arthritic spinal joints and pinching of spinal nerve tissue due to spondylolisthesis or stenosis.
Dr. Cantwell also sees many cases of lower back pain that include referred pain to other parts of the body. This is especially common in the case of herniated lumbar discs that pinch the sciatic nerve. The resulting sciatica is characterized by leg pain as well as lower back pain.
Achieving Pain Relief the Healthy, Natural Way
Dr. Cantwell and her associates can relieve not only your lower back pain but also your concerns over surgery, since many cases can be resolved purely through conservative means. Dr. Cantwell's spinal adjustments (using the time-tested Diversified Technique) can restore the vertebrae, spinal joints and discs to their proper positions, allowing for normal motion and taking the squeeze off your sciatic nerve roots. Our chiropractor in Beaverton may also refer you to our LMT, Jim Freda, for massage therapy to loosen tight back muscles, speed injury healing and provide natural soft tissue pain relief. If chronic lower back pain or a recent accident has left you emotionally distraught (and thus even more sensitive to pain signals), you may benefit from the services of our counselor, Brian Dement. Working together, we can help you achieve lasting pain relief.
Our Chiropractor in Beaverton is Ready to Help You!
Don't let lower back pain call the tune for the rest of your life. Call Unity Chiropractic and Wellness Center at 503-747-3388 so our chiropractor in Beaverton, Dr. Kathy Cantwell can evaluate your condition and provide solutions!

The founder of a Baltimore County insurance company was arrested Wednesday in connection with an alleged scheme to make it appear that the firm — now being liquidated by a Delaware court — had millions of dollars in cash it did not actually possess.
Jeffrey Cohen, 39, former CEO of nightclub and bar insurer Indemnity Insurance Corp., was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday on charges of making false statements to an insurance regulator. The indictment was unsealed Wednesday as government agents raided his house in Reisterstown.
An attorney who has represented Cohen in the past could not be reached for comment.
The charges relate to Cohen's claim to Delaware...

What does it cost ...? The short answer is - your painting will be priceless ! A very important occasion in your life will be recorded for family history and will be enjoyed and treasured for generations to come as art in your home - an every day reminder of your special day. And surprisingly, compared with other wedding expenses, my fees are relatively modest, considering that you will have the paintings forever and that they are truly original and unique to you. In addition, I paint in oils, which keep their brilliance and show each brush stroke that captures the story of your event. In other words, it will be a painting that is interesting to look at, and not just a picture.
Live paintings: from $3500, depending on the size and location. As I am based in Philadelphia PA, out of town expenses apply for locations more than 30 miles from Center City. The fee includes your priceless oil painting, pre event discussions, customised archival quality materials, table easel for display, and Vendor's Insurance for $1 million, and my imaginatin and ability to create magic for you. Most popular sizes: 20x30", 24x30" and 24x36"; other/larger sizes are available.
scroll down at right>>
Additional Paintings: In addition to the main painting, I may be able to do extra smaller paintings for family and friends, eg. the Bride will commission a painting of the Father Daughter Dance as a special gift for her Dad; or I may be asked to paint live at a wedding reception where the guests have more time to watch me ... and then paint the ceremony from photos. Some parents ask me to do another painting based on the original so that they can have one for themselves! These paintings are usually done from photos in my studio and can be unique gifts for special thank you's. There are many sizes for studio paintings ranging from 5x7".
Where is the Venue? My painting prices are for bookings within a 30 mile radius of center city Philadelphia. When I finish painting very late at night and the journey to and from the venue is more than an hour each way, I shall require overnight accomodation, so that I can put all my energies into painting for you, and, if necessary, look at your painting with fresh eyes before handing it to you the next day. Most areas within 2.5hrs drive of Center City Philadelphia: $650. For long distance venues, I usually fly in the day before and leave later on the day following the event, or on the day following that, allowing me me to look at your painting with fresh eyes and and work on it if necessary. My primary concern is to make your painting FABULOUS.
Gifts for Bridal Couples, VIP's or Honorees: My paintings are often commissioned as gifts for the Bride and Groom, (especially form parents), VIP's or honorees, who will never forget the event or who gave it to them. I have also had parents who decided to keep the wedding painting for themselves - to become an inheritance - and others who have asked me to duplicate the painting so that they could also have one.
Joint Gifts from Groups of Guests: Groups and families will often combine resources to have me paint at their event, and brides can ask guests to book me to paint as a really special group gift.
Prints and Notecards: Parents and clients often asked for a prints of the paintings and I can also supply a digital image for your printer to print notecards.

David Beckham's Tattoos Come Alive in UNICEF Spot Highlighting Violence Against Children
Film Highlights How Violence Against Children 'Marks Forever'
By Alexandra Jardine. Published on Dec 05, 2016
Editor's Pick
David Beckham has been the face of countless ads and campaigns (Haig Club and H&M to name just two recent examples), but in a powerful new spot from UNICEF, it's his body art that takes the starring role.
Beckham's many tattoos come to life in the spot via some clever animation work that highlights violence against children. The film shows cherubs becoing crying babies, lips turning into shouting mouths, shadowy adults looming in the edge of doorways and kids fighting, hitting and teasing one another as the illustrations of happy times transform into something more sinister. The tagline, and message, is that violence marks children forever -- rather like a tattoo.
Jonas McQuiggin directed the spot, created by U.K. animation and production studio BlindPig and produced by its sister company Absolute Post. McQuiggin commented in a statement; "It's different from most campaigns in the fact that it lets the stories come to the forefront, instead of the celebrity. In the film, David's body becomes a canvas to highlight the issue of violence against children and deliver the campaign's powerful message; violence against children marks them forever. To me, the final product speaks for itself. It's a remarkable example of how powerful and compelling stories can be communicated in a non-conventional way."

Tooth Brushing
I know a lot of people that like to use the electric brushes that spin to brush their teeth. They say they get a better clean without the wear and tear on their gums. I thought, I would try out an inexpensive electric brush and see if I like it and if my gums like it. I didn't want to jump into the deep end and spend a ton of money, in case it isn't for me so today, I got one of the cheaper Oral B versions that just takes a AA battery to give it a shot...the head is still small enough for my cover and the bristles come in soft (which is what I need).
I decided to do a Google search to see what recommendations are out there for brushing techniques and I came across this useful article. I thought perhaps it might be useful for others so I linked it.
This evening will be my first trial run...I'll let you know how it goes.

TIL that Bell Labs and a whole lot of other websites block archive.org, not to mention most search engines. Turns out I have a broken website link in a GitHub repo, caused by the deletion of an old webpage. When I tried to pull the original from archive.org, I found that it's not available because Bell Labs blocks the archive.org crawler in their robots.txt:
User-agent: Googlebot
User-agent: msnbot
User-agent: LSgsa-crawler

In fact, Bell Labs not only blocks the Internet Archiver bot, it blocks all bots except for Googlebot, msnbot, and their own corporate bot. And msnbot was superseded by bingbot five years ago!
A quick search using a term that's only found at Bell Labs1, e.g., "This is a start at making available some of the material from the Tenth Edition Research Unix manual.", reveals that bing indexes the page; either bingbot follows some msnbot rules, or that msnbot still runs independently and indexes sites like Bell Labs, which ban bingbot but not msnbot. Luckily, in this case, a lot of search engines (like Yahoo and DDG) use Bing results, so Bell Labs hasn't disappeared from the non-Google internet, but you're out of luck if you're one of the 55% of Russians who use yandex.
And all that is a relatively good case, where one non-Google crawler is allowed to operate. It's not uncommon to see robots.txt files that ban everything but Googlebot. Running a competing search engine and preventing a Google monopoly is hard enough without having sites ban non-Google bots. We don't need to make it even harder, nor do we need to accidentally2 ban the Internet Archive bot.
P.S. While you're checking that your robots.txt doesn't ban everyone but Google, consider looking at your CPUID checks to make sure that you're using feature flags instead of banning everyone but Intel and AMD.

We don't have to tell you how hard it is to work in a medical office and manage your family life. And, while most articles about work/life balance discuss only that – balance – in this article we're going to offer you some tips on how to manage your work and family.
1) Aim to have a consistent routine each morning so that your children know what to expect regarding what time to get up, what time to eat, what time to leave, etc. This will help your children know what "steps" will be taken each morning as all you get ready for work and school/daycare.
2) Get up before your children do. This will help you get an uninterrupted start to your day. If at all possible, for your own health and well-being, use this time to exercise or otherwise take some quiet time just for yourself.
3) Pack everyone's lunches the night before. Set out clothing the night before. Pack your own work needs (briefcase, papers, etc.) the night before.
4) When it comes to dealing with emergencies, have a plan before a crisis develops. And we're not talking just major emergencies, but those day-to-day interruptions to your plans, such as children becoming sick or getting a minor injury at school. Discuss with your spouse or other family members who will do what when interruptions occur.
5) Save up some of your own sick days to care for your child/family members when incidents occur.
6) Be sure to have someone you trust locally who can handle a small emergency – at least for the first couple of hours – when you can't.
7) Consider cooking several meals on a weekend and freezing them for thawing out for weekday dinners. This will make your weekday evenings much more relaxing.
8) Look at dinner as a time for your family members to get together, relax and share their day-to-day happenings. Dinner together is a terrific way to bond with each other.
As you can see in the above suggestions, communication is key: Communication with your children as well as your spouse/family members. Aim to sit down with each other (spouse, kids) together as a family and individually to discuss how everyone can make everyone's day easier and less stressful/complicated.
Do you have some tips on how to manage your work and family? If so, share them with us and our Professional Staffing Group blog readers. Then, if you're a biller, coder or clerk with experience working in a medical office, we have many open positions with some of Jackson's best medical employers. Contact us today!

"We have to understand how to break the gap of the language of the machine, which is intelligent, and the human, which is also intelligent. It's almost that we have to be able to speak the same language or to try to understand each other."
We are developing some seriously powerful algorithms. Daily, our machines march up and along the intelligence curve, figuring out patterns within large amounts of data, telling us the best routes to take to avoid traffic and managing our health files. The future is already here—we are swimming in artificial intelligence.
Yet our user experience doesn't seem to be keeping up. The human-machine relationship is still awkward and screen based. Yes, UX development has enabled our internet experience to go from a text based burden to a virtual wonderland, however the recent improvements in AI require a different approach. It has become very clear that in order for us to take the next leap in our technological age, our machines need to learn how to talk—and talk well.
Siri is an early prototype and she improves with each release. Alexa is also a step forward. However, while each of these AIs can take commands and give a pleasant, even sometimes quirky response, they're not truly conversational. What our machines need are personalities that not only speak to us, but give humans a sense of well-being. We don't truly trust our machines, they feel like black boxes filled with strange magic that could destroy us if only they wanted to, and this is because our user experience is lacking in the conversation department.
If we ever want to truly integrate AI with human life, we're going to need to look at the user experience in a whole new way. Rather than have a web portal to show people around, machines will need to have a personality that leads us through dialogue.
Enter Chatbots.
Chatbots currently exist primarily as fun toys and gadgets floating around the web, but soon, every product will need one as its user interface. Take the truly hands-free automotive experience. Right now the onboard software for most cars includes a navigation system, stereo and Bluetooth to access the mobile device of the driver. While we can give verbal commands to each of these applications, we still have to manually select buttons in order to operate them. Want to hear your voice mail? You need to be in the correct mode, which usually means looking down at your device or a screen! This can only lead to distraction.
What if instead, when the car powers up, a Chatbot begins the experience, asking you how you are and where you'd like to go? The Chatbot would then give you the navigation towards your destination as well as road conditions and could even let you know if any of your friends have checked in on FB in locations near your route. The next step is telling the bot to play your voicemail and then what radio station you want, or even launch a playlist in Spotify.
This seem too futuristic? It shouldn't. This technology exists, it simply requires us to think of the user experience as conversational. Voice and speech recognition software have made leaps and bounds the past few years with regards to quality. The next step is creating conversational AIs that can handle commands as well as converse with us, providing a satisfying human-machine interaction.
The need to rethink our user experience as conversational became clear to me when I was researching conversational AIs while writing my second novel, eHuman Deception, in which a main character, the AMMA, is an AI. I wanted the human characters in my story to have satisfying dialogue with her, not only because that's what my readers would want, but also to showcase that the human-machine relationship doesn't have to be dreadful. It can actually be quite satisfying. As my research progressed, I realized that while Siri and Alexa are quite wondrous, they're not worthy of being characters in a novel, which to me means they haven't yet passed the true conversational test.
The next generation of conversational AIs need to be novel worthy characters that lead humans to believe that they're trustworthy. Not so they can take over the world, but so that we can truly partner with our machines to remake the world of the 21st century.
And good conversation is key.
Good thing I'm so naturally chatty :-)

Ground Beef From An Arizona Company Being Recalled Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination
Utah has six confirmed and four pending cases
(Salt Lake City) – An Arizona company is recalling approximately 6.5 million pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Newport, according to the USDA.
The raw, non-intact beef items, including ground beef, were packed between July 26 and September 7, 2018 by JBS Tolleson, Inc. The products being recalled bear the establishment number "EST 267".
As of October 4, 2018, there are at least 57 confirmed cases in 16 states. Utah has six confirmed cases and four cases that are pending final confirmation.
If you purchased ground beef with that establishment number, throw it away or return it to where it was purchased. If you do not know where your ground beef came from, the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food recommends consumers to follow safe food handling procedures, including cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 degrees or higher.
Eating food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis a very common bacterial foodborne illness. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within 12 hours to seven days of eating contaminated food. The illness usually last 4-7 days.

Best Countries for Work-Life Balance and Why Millennials are Moving There
The Young Urban Creative is a rapidly expanding segment of millennials, who are actively looking for international job opportunities and willing to move abroad to achieve the perfect work-life balance. A growing number of them are jumping online to work virtually or outright found and operate a start-up business in an environment they enjoy.
Millennials enjoy living in urban areas where they can bike, motor scooter or simply walk to work, socialize with friends and have lots of choices for entertainment. Millennials are choosing international careers because the cost of living abroad gives them disposable more income and flexibility to travel.
How Work-Life Balance is Determined
One of the biggest reasons why millennials are looking for work-life balance overseas, according to a recent report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, is because the U.S. lags way behind in work-life balance. Work-life balance is measured by the amount of hours worked per week versus the amount of time spent on social activities. In the U.S., the hours consumed by work are very high when compared to the hours socializing.
In their search for a more rewarding work-life, millennials are moving into urban areas rich with access to a thriving social scene like in the U.S.: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Boston, San Francisco, Portland, Denver, and Atlanta. But this flood of re-urbanization has priced many millennials out of being able to buy a home or even affordably rent in the areas they want to live and work.
Millennials are flocking overseas and looking for international job opportunities as the international cost of living is more affordable and offers a better work-life balance. So millennials are searching for international job opportunities in countries offering a better work-life balance than their home country.
Factors Comprising Work-Life Balance Rankings
According to that report from theOrganization for Economic Cooperation and Development, to achieve this balance, the ideal place to live and work must:
- Have affordable housing
- Pay a good income
- Offer an enjoyable job
- Be in a vibrant community
- Allow for continuing education
- Be an environment not overrun with gentrification or pollution
- Have access to reliable and affordable healthcare
- Provide safety at both work and play
With the above list of attributes in mind, where do you think the U.S. ranks? America ranks #29 for work-life balance, mainly because U.S. workers spend a greater proportion of their time working and commuting to work with little time left for social activities.
Some of the Best Countries for Work-Life Balance
The Danes have a robust social support system and highly flexible work conditions. Danes can even choose when to start their work day.
All workers receive a minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation a year. The welfare system ensures no member of Danish society goes without, thus contributing to a very high standard of living.
Expats view Spain as a safe place to work and live. Spain shines in its ability to make new residents feel welcome.
Spain also wins high marks for its transportation system, making it easy for expats to enjoy their free time. The medical care and overall infrastructure are also highly rated.
Russian Federation
Expats enjoy high salaries in Russia. Many careers there offer more excitement for personal growth.
Russia scores particular high in work-life balance because it is easy to make friends with the locals, who often introduce expats to a rich social life.
The friendly Irish make the land of the green a top English-speaking destination for expats looking to work overseas. Employers there are introducing policies aimed at successfully producing a better work-life balance.
Some Irish companies close business operations for lunch between the hours of 1pm to 2pm. The work week does not extend beyond 48 hours for most employees.
Breathtaking picturesque Brazil is South America's largest economy and while recent economic indicators show some stagnation, the international job opportunities for English-speaking applicants are still robust. There are expat job opportunities in Fortune 500 companies operating in Brazil like SAP, Cummins, Baker Hughes, Hilton, GlaxoSmithKline, etc.
Brazil is #1 in the world for the most paid vacation days annually. Along with the 11 paid federal holidays, Brazil mandates 30 more days off specifically for leisure activity.
The hours worked in a day in Brazil are below the average of all countries. Undoubtedly, the above average days off are part of the reason why Brazil ranks high for social connections, well-being, and work-life balance.
Costa Rica
In Central America, Costa Rica continues to draw more expats looking for a better work-life balance. The warm climate and exquisite natural environment combined with a lower cost of living is drawing more millennials to this country.
Locals refer to living in Costa Rica as the "Tico lifestyle", which balances work with time to enjoy this spectacular country. Expats don't have to plan a trip to experience nature because they are immersed in on a daily basis.
According to the Happy Plan Index, people in Costa Rica are happier; in fact they consistently rank at or near the top of the index for happiness among all countries.
On the other side of the globe, emerging Asian economies like China, India and Thailand are seeing upticks in expats relocating there. These countries offer lower costs of living abroad with inexpensive healthcare, housing, and food. Additionally, there are lots of recreational and social activities, which make it an attractive place for expats.
Expats looking for overseas job opportunities are cashing in on China's demand for white collar skills. Almost 25% of expats working in China earn a whopping $300K a year, according to a CNN report.
Expats are able to save money and pay off debt because of China's inexpensive cost of living. Food and household goods in China are relatively cheap compared to other countries.
India is high on the list of countries for expats looking for job opportunities. The vibrant social scene and entertainment deliver the work-life balance millennials seek. The rich culture and history combined with spicy food, makes India an enticing place for expats.
As the cost of living is low, expats use their savings to travel and explore different areas of India such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Kerala, Jaipur, and Bangalore. Expats can visit the famous Taj Mahal and Gateway of India while checking out local hotspots such as the HAL Aerospace Museum, City Palace, Marina Beach, and Kapaleeshwarar Temple.
Another favorite for expats looking to relocate is Thailand. The scenery from the beaches to the mountains is stunning. Expats describe Thailand's cost of living as very affordable and the food is fresh and flavorful. The cuisine is another main ingredient contributing to Thailand's nickname, "Land of Smiles."
Middle East
In the Middle East, countries like Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Dubai are bubbling with activity for international careers. Forbes magazine calls Dubai the "new hot-spot for young professionals." The region is continuing to place ore importance on work-life balance.
Companies in Dubai are implementing work-life balance programs and putting policies in place to boost job performance and satisfaction. Employees are encouraged and given the time to play sports, enjoy social and family activities, and do volunteer work.
Comfort and Safety
The millennials are the first generation to completely grow up with the Internet and being constantly connected has made their world a global village. A large portion of them are working remote online in a city they feel the most comfortable.

Pop Star Taylor Dayne Charged with DUI
By Garth O'Brien | June 1, 2008
Filed Under Celebrity DUI
Beverly Hills, California. Taylor Dayne exploded onto the pop scene in the late 1980's. She melted teen hearts with her big hair and pretty face. I recall Dayne's hit "Tell It To My Heart," electrifying the dance floor at junior high and high school dances. She was comfortable on stage entertaining millions, but will she be comfortable in court asserting her legal rights?
Earlier this year Taylor Dayne was arrested for DUI in Beverly Hills. Only a few facts have been made public, but allegedly Dayne failed the field sobriety tests. It is also alleged her blood alcohol content was below California's legal limit of 0.08. Since Dayne provided a blood alcohol sample below 0.08 Dayne will fight her DUI charge aggressively.
Some of you might be confused that the prosecutors are still pursuing DUI charges against Dayne even though she was under the legal limit. DUI can be prosecuted by two separate legal theories. The prosecution can prove that [1] Dayne had a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher, or [2] Dayne was under the influence of intoxicants while driving. The State cannot convict on the first theory, but they can seek a conviction on the second theory.
The jury will need to evaluate all the evidence and decide whether Dayne was under the influence of intoxicants. They will hear evidence about her driving, her interaction with the officer, her field sobriety test results and review any admissions. Since field sobriety tests are crap Dayne has a great case and I do not even know the rest of the facts.

5 Steps to The Perfect Move Out
1. Use a Checklist
Most apartments and vacation rentals will supply you with a move in/move out checklist. This is often the same checklist managers use when inspecting a unit post move out. Walk through your new home before moving furniture in and look for any damage to the interior and exterior. Take pictures with your smart phone and save them in a specific album on your phone so they're easy to find. It's a good idea to make note of any preexisting damages and report them to the landlord.
2. Read Your Lease
Many tenants never actually read their lease, or if they do it's only at a glance. Lease agreements are required to explain what deductions can be made to your security deposit before it is returned. Many places will require professional carpet cleaning, but you can rent professional carpet cleaning equipment from most grocery or home improvement stores. Some leases will be generic and allows the landlord to withhold your deposit for anything "beyond normal wear and tear," while other leases are specific in what you would be charged for. In California the only reasons a landlord can withhold rent is for unpaid rent, cleaning, damage repair or furniture replacement. In New York these deductions have to be reported to the tenant in a reasonable time. Most all deposit refunds are returned within thirty days of move out.
3. Clean
Make sure to clean everything, yes, everything. There's the obvious: vacuum, mop, dust and sweep, but tenants moving out should also make the exterior of the home look presentable. Don't forget to clean out the fridge, bleach the bathroom grout, and vacuum exhaust fans. Take out screws or nails and putty the holes. Most homeowners keep a small can of paint in the bathroom or garage for patching walls. If you keep your rental clean while you live there you will have a lot less work to do getting the home ready for move out.
4. Turn Off Utilities
If your utilities were not included in your rent you will need to make sure the services are turned off before moving out. Any utility charges the landlord receives before your lease end date could be deducted from your security deposit. Make sure not to leave the air conditioning running, turn off all the water and electricity.
5. Inspect
Request a move out inspection with management or your landlord. Ask them to walk through the home and make note of anything you may have missed. In your lease a specific time should be listed for move out to be completed by. Try scheduling a move out inspection well before this time.

Rangers want Caps disciplined over poor securityNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Rangers are asking the NHL to discipline the Washington Capitals, saying poor security led to the confrontation between coach John Tortorella and fans.
Tortorella was given a one-game suspension for squirting water and tossing a water bottle into the crowd at Washington during Friday's 4-0 loss to the Capitals.
The Rangers sent a letter Saturday to the NHL asserting fans behind the visitors' bench used obscene language and spit on team personnel, and that Capitals security did not act on requests to intervene.
The letter also asks for improved security for a potential Game 7 in Washington.
The Rangers led the series 3-2 heading into Sunday's Game 6 in New York.

DNC Closes With 'Pro-Life' Prayer
For all the hoopla over the word "God" in the Democratic platform, this may be more interesting. New York's archbishop, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, closed the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night with a prayer that some thought had an anti-abortion message. "Thus do we praise you for the gift of life. Grant us to defend it. Life, without which no other rights are secure. We ask your benediction on those waiting to be born, that they may be welcomed and protected," Dolan prayed, just after Obama's speech. Dolan delivered a similar prayer in Tampa at the Republican National Convention.

There's a new Facebook group called Suomalainen fandom. The purpose is to share information and discuss finndom-related things (I expect the overwhelming majority of the discussions to be in Finnish).
This is a public Facebook group, so it should be possible to read the discussions without signing onto Facebook (at least for the moment). You can also follow new topic posts via an RSS feed.

On Sunday we were woken up early by the dogs so we played with the feathers on a string for quite some time. My housemate thinks that it looks like a bird so I keep her amused and have not told her that he has no head, wings or feet. Housemates are good company but they are not very bright. She went downstairs and fed the kitten and then brought our breakfast upstairs, when I had eaten my fill I decided to go and play outside.
I looked in the french doors at the kitten and he came running over to me, somehow he thought he could jump through the glass and leaped at me. He looked surprised that all he got was a sore nose, I hissed at him for good measure.
When I came back in the kitten was in the bedroom, he was playing with the laser pen so my housemate had me playing with the mouse on a stick. It is more realistic that the feathers and it squeaks when you hit it. The kitten is not very smart, he has not worked out that he can not catch the red dot so it is funny to watch him run around in circles. We then both had some treats and a cuddle so I decided I would take a walk downstairs. I had only gone two steps when he jumped on my back, my housemate stood up and he just rolled over and gave up.
I am not sure how that works, when I stand up he squares up to me so I need to learn the trick of getting him to submit- I will work on it. Monday was very similar in that we both played with toys, had some cuddles and some treats but the moment I walked away he jumped on me. I think we have just about every cat toy on the market.
We spent a lot of time on Tuesday and Wednesday sleeping on the couch, we can share when he wants to. I have claimed the cat trees back and all I have to do is get higher than him and then when he comes too close and tries to hit me I have the upper paw.
We had guests again on Thursday and Friday, which keeps the kitten busy and allows me the space to roam around the house. I am still a nervous wreck around him but I seem to be able passed him.
