Tesla teased us with a mysterious shot of its Model X crossover at the beginning of the month, and now a prototype of the vehicle has been unveiled at its design studio in California. Hot on the heels of the Model S, the Model X is based on the same, but slightly lengthened, platform as the sedan.
Externally, the Model X has more than a whiff of the bulbous BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo about it, particularly at the rear, while the front end recalls the Model S. Inside the space has been put to good use, with seating for seven in total. Despite this, there's still plenty of luggage space, as the engine compartment can also be utilized for storage along with the trunk.
Falcon doors
The Model X uses so-called "falcon" doors at the rear, which lift up like gullwing doors, but hinge in the center to make them easier to open in tight spaces. Are they really any better than regular doors? Possibly for the passengers in the very back, but as the front doors look to be conventional — and massive –any parking space will still have to be pretty sizable.
Interior shots of the car reveal a similar look to the Model S, and while the styling on the outside may be acceptable, the inside is less successful. Leaving aside the unfortunate use of wooden trim, the center console is dominated by a huge 17-inch touchscreen display, which appears to have been stuck there as an after-thought.
There's still time for this to be improved before the car goes into production though.
But nobody is really going to buy the Model X because of its looks, as it's all about the electric motor. Right now, it looks like Tesla will offer two battery pack options — 60 or 85 kilowatt-hours — but owners should expect a 10-percent drop in range over the Model S due to the vehicle's weight.
Performance sounds good, with Tesla CEO Elon Musk saying it'll do 0.60mph is 4.4-seconds. Both a rear-wheel drive and an all-wheel drive model will be made, with the latter using another set of motors for the front wheels, and a computer to split the power between all four wheels depending on the road conditions. It's reminiscent of the system Acura plans for the new NSX.
Is it cool?
In a recent interview, Mr. Musk said the Model X was going to be "cooler than any SUV or minivan on the market." so now we've seen it, do you think his team has succeeded? To some, those falcon doors may be cool, but to others they lost their sheen after being featured on countless other cars, all of which are considerably better looking.
As 95% of SUVs are inherently not cool, the Model X may have to rely on its exclusivity and electric power to be desirable. But will this be enough to fend of its biggest challenger, the electric Toyota Rav4? After all, it's going to be built using the same power plant, looks good and could be more competitively priced too. That's before we take into account Toyota's well-established reputation for producing decent electric hybrid cars too.
Tesla plans to start production of Model X in 2013, with the first vehicles going on sale the year after. Pricing will start at $49,000 and could rise to as much as $90,000 depending on the options selected.

The Tale Of Two Jessicas
I suffer from entertainment news fatigue or maybe ADD. The cycle of pop-culture news stories, which flows from the first time you read a story when your dad finally mentions he heard something on Jay Leno, can be excruciatingly slow. Ordinarily I wouldn't try to swim against the current and have still more to say about something that's been well-discussed elsewhere.
But I have to, because of what I read this weekend. Call it The Tale Of Two Jessicas.
I am a big fan of author Jessica Valenti. Her book The Purity Myth is a horrifying examination of what passes for sex education in American schools. I frequent her blog, Feministing.com, constantly, and her new book Why Have Kids? is not only a great read but approaches a fraught subject (including the premature birth of her daughter) with a lot of humour, which I really respect.
So like any intrepid author, she contacts all kinds of news outlets: Would they like her to write articles pinned to the release of her book? Explain why it's not an "anti-parenting" book, but one that discusses some of the myths around parenting – particularly motherhood - being the most unilaterally wonderful, joyous experiences of all time, world without end?
One outlet – one which, it is implied, is part of the "real news" and not a celebrity-driven publication - wants Valenti to share her weight loss story! Because they've been doing so much with Jessica Simpson's weight-loss journey that readers would really like that! Maybe this feminist author could explain what she ate and when she exercised and how worried she was about her looks!
This is why.
Why can't we leave Jessica Simpson alone? To make her four million in peace? Why won't Lainey or Maria or anyone else shut up about this nice girl struggling with her weight just like everyone else?
Because this is what it does to "regular" women. It writes the script for them. It assumes Valenti – or any other woman – has a "weight-loss story". It assumes this is the most important story being told – that a journalist who has written books about the various pitfalls involved in simply being a woman in today's society is most concerned with whether she fits into her jeans. If Simpson is the "everywoman" telling her new-parent story, why aren't we hearing more about how exhausted she is from no sleep? How hard it is to get out of the house with all the stuff a baby needs? Whether she's worried that people at work will adapt too well to her being away and not need her when she goes back?
Because she doesn't share those experiences with you, and so those stories don't matter that much. If you have those concerns, they're not as important as whether you were able to lose the baby weight along with Simpson and how much sexier you are now that you have. But the more Simpson plays up that she's "just like you" and gets paid a phenomenal amount for it, the less real, authentic media outlets remember that you might want to read or hear about something – anything – other than the quest for skinny jeans.
Click here to read Valenti's full story about the story it was proposed she write. I don't want to spoil the whole thing, but here's a highlight:
"When I had Layla, I actually lost all of my baby weight that very day! That's what happens when you give birth almost 3 months early to a 2 pound baby. So chic."
Do you think Jessica Simpson understands irony?

More than 4,000 Montessori schools dot the American landscape, offering a unique educational model to families nationwide. Thousands more bring the Montessori method to every corner of the world.
Montessori schools can be found in rural, urban, and suburban settings; in working-class towns, affluent communities, and even remote villages. Some schools offer all levels of learning, from infant/toddler through the secondary (high school) level. Others offer only certain levels.
In the United States, most Montessori schools are privately owned. A growing number, however, are part of public school systems, making it possible for families of any means to give their child a Montessori education.
Linked by a common philosophy, each private Montessori school is nonetheless unique. It may be housed in a small, homelike setting, on an expansive campus, or surrounded by gardens that hold discoveries for every age. Individual schools may be part of a larger entity, often a nonprofit agency or religious institution. Some schools offer parent/infant classes, in which parents learn to observe their child and meet his needs in the Montessori way.
Like other private schools, most independently owned Montessori schools are funded by tuition revenue. Some schools provide scholarships for families in need of assistance, and many offer reduced tuition when parents enroll more than one child.
Montessori is a presence in more than 400 U.S. public schools, including neighborhood, magnet, and charter schools.
Public Montessori programs come in many sizes, from a single early-childhood classroom to an entire elementary, junior high, or high school. Some share a facility with other programs that have a different instructional approach.
Teachers in public Montessori schools have a dual responsibility. In planning an age-appropriate Montessori curriculum, they need to make sure it matches their state's grade-level standards.
Public Montessori school students must take the same standardized tests as students in traditional public schools.
If you're considering Montessori education for your child, it's important to know that the Montessori name is not trademarked. Any school can call itself Montessori, and programs vary in how they interpret and practice the Montessori approach.
The American Montessori Society believes that certain elements are essential to quality Montessori education. These include—
These and other standards are defined in AMS School Accreditation Standards and Criteria, and are required of schools that wish to be accredited by AMS.
All Montessori schools may opt to become AMS members, but only schools that have been accredited by AMS are affirmed as meeting AMS standards.

Cobb throws first bullpen session since concussion

ST. PETERSBURG -- Alex Cobb continues to make progress in his return from the concussion he sustained on June 15 when Kansas City's Eric Hosmer hit a line drive off the right side of his head.
On Friday, Cobb threw his first bullpen session off of a mound.View Full Game Coverage
"Bullpen went great," Cobb said. "Felt like I did before I got injured. Surprising, because usually you feel a little awkward on the mound when you haven't been out there for a while. It's the most activity we've done since I've [been back]. Getting on the mound is obviously a step in the right direction."
Cobb acknowledged that he doesn't think he's "extremely close" to his return, but he added: "We're moving a lot faster than we expected."
He pointed out that the initial prognosis for his recovery called for him to be playing catch by July 5. Instead, he was throwing off a mound.
"That's kind of a good sign about how things are going," Cobb said. "What we're doing right now is keeping my physical condition up to par with game activities and building up to that right now. So once the other conditions go away, I'll be able to jump back in. It's hard to say when those things are going to go away.
"We're doing a lot of different things to try and get it rolling in the right direction, and we're on the right path. I just can't say a certain date or week or anything along those lines. But the progress is going quickly. It's a great feeling to be out here and one step closer to being back out here in games."
The "other conditions" Cobb spoke of deal with the vertigo he has been suffering.
"In the next couple of weeks, according to what the doctors say, I should see a drastic improvement from where we are right now," Cobb said.
When asked about his next step, Cobb said the plan he's following is like a rehab assignment.
"A bullpen here, a bullpen in maybe two days, then again, see where we're at," Cobb said. "And then kind of just stay on a path to where I'm getting ready for a game. Getting ready to step back on to a game field.
"And get ready to the best we can physically and then once mentally I'm back to normal in my head, I'll be able to jump back out there."
Cobb has passed the first set of concussion tests administered to him, and he anticipates more on the horizon.
"All I hear is that it's very difficult to get cleared," Cobb said. "We haven't finished that process because I'm not ready. But once I am ready to finish with my process of getting physically ready, I shouldn't have a problem passing those."
Cobb, who arguably was the team's most consistent pitcher prior to his injury, managed to find a silver lining within his difficult situation.
"It could be a positive thing," Cobb said. "I could be really fresh when I come back and in better shape, so it could be a really good thing."
In the long run, having David Price miss some time and Cobb missing time, might prove to be a good thing for the Rays.
"As the season progresses, August and September, we could have two fresh arms in Alex and David," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "And that's going to be a good thing."

It's been a great time to be long the euro against the British pound. So far this year, the euro has rallied 6 percent against its counterpart across the Channel, and broken out of a longtime range.
Don't expect the good times to last, says Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotia Capital.
"Technically the near-term EURGBP outlook is still bullish, but we think fundamentally it is stretched and in the medium term should fade lower," she wrote in a note to clients.
You wouldn't know it to look at the relative health of the British and euro zone economies. Scotia Economics expects 2013 GDP growth under 1 percent in Britain - and a slight GDP contraction in the euro zone. But currency trading is about expectations, and Sutton argues that "there is too much good news priced into the European economic outlook and too much bad news priced into that of the UK."
By the same token, Sutton says expectations for the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have gotten out of whack. "The market has become too aggressive in its expectations for the BoE" in terms of adding monetary stimulus, she says, and if investors are disappointed, the euro will sell off.
That's not all. Investors have been piling back into euro zone assets now that fear of the sovereign debt crisis is abating. But Sutton expects those flows to slow, removing yet another pillar of support for the euro.
Sutton recommends selling the euro against the pound at 0.8620, setting a stop at 0.8900 and a target of 0.8155.

Looking for a Co-Packer closest to, but outside of Charlotte, North Carolina
In search of a co packer closest to our location in Charlotte.
We will be having our formula blended, packaged in drums, and shipped from the West coast to the East coast to be bottled. As of now, I have spoke to 1 co packer who requires a minimum production run of 2,000 gallons but has a very hard time with communication. Next?

UMASS Amherst Recognized for Energy Star Award
Release Date: 02/23/2011
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Feb. 23, 2011) – EPA is presenting the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a 2011 "Combined Heat and Power" Energy Star Award, for simultaneously producing electricity and useful thermal energy from a single energy source.
In Dec. 2008, UMass-Amherst began operation of a 14 Megawatt Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. This state-of-the-art, $133 million central heating plant represents a major milestone in the university's multi-year initiative to reduce fuel consumption and minimize its environmental footprint. This new CHP system is a large part of the reason the university has reduced overall energy consumption by 21 percent since 2004.
"This combined technology not only conserves energy, but also reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, helping to protect the health of New England citizens and our environment," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "EPA is proud to recognize the outstanding pollution reduction and energy efficiency qualities of this project."
The combined cycle facility, which generates electricity and steam, uses natural gas and oil, and can be expanded with new equipment, to burn biofuels such as wood chips. It replaces an obsolete 1918, coal-burning facility and has reduced the campus' greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 75 percent. The CHP system produces nearly all of the electric and steam demand for a campus comprising over 200 buildings and nearly 10 million gross square feet of building space. Another feature of the system is that it uses 160,000 gallons of treated effluent per day from the local wastewater treatment plant to generate steam. The effluent replaces the drinking water that would typically be used by such systems.
With an operating efficiency of nearly 75 percent, the CHP system requires approximately 18 percent less fuel than the facility it replaced and prevents an estimated 26,600 tons per year of CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions from more than 4,600 passenger vehicles.
The EPA CHP Partnership, established in 2001, is a voluntary program that encourages the use of CHP to reduce the environmental impact of power generation. The partnership works closely with energy users, the CHP industry, state and local governments, and other energy stakeholders to facilitate the development of new projects and to promote energy, environmental and economic benefits.

How To Make Flour Tortillas From Scratch
Good flour tortillas are a thing of beauty. Once you know the taste of fresh handmade tortillas, well lets just say you're missing out. Before we were making them ourselves we would drive across town to pick up the best of the best, but not any more because making them is as simple as mix, roll, heat and eat!
What You Need
2 3/4 cups All Purpose Flour (plus extra for dusting)
5 tablespoons Lard
3/4 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Warm Water
Medium Bowl
1. Mix Salt: Add salt to your measuring cup (or bowl) holding your water. Stir the solution gently until salt has dissolved.
2. Combine: Into a medium bowl, add flour and lard. Work the mixture with your hands (it will only be sticky for a minute) until it comes to a fine crumble. If you're making 100 of these, go ahead and use the food processor, otherwise, it's not worth your time and your hands will bring the mixture together in a few seconds. Just smoosh and moosh until it's all crumbly and an even texture.
3. Add Water: Pour 2/3 of your water into the dry mixture. Stir with a fork until mixture is chunky. Add remaining water (if needed) until combined and turn out onto a floured board.
4. Knead & Divide: Knead gently until it comes together (5-10 times). Divide into 12 pieces. Place in a pan (or on a plate) and cover with plastic wrap (or a barely moistened towel) and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
5. Roll: Once the dough balls have had time to rest, one by one, roll them with a rolling pin until they are 7" (give or take) in diameter. Keep remaining dough covered while you work. Roll them one at a time and cook one at a time (unless you're using a griddle or more than one pan). You can pick them up with your hand (gently) and lay it across your palm to transfer it to the pan.
6. Heat: Heat a dry skillet over medium to medium high heat (cast iron works great!) and let each tortilla cook for 30-45 seconds. You're looking for brown, not burnt (if they cook too long you'll have tortilla chips!) so don't hesitate to remove when done. Cover with a warm towel until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Additional Notes
If your tortillas don't sizzle quietly when they hit the pan, it isn't hot enough. If the residual flour (from rolling) smokes, your heat is too high. Don't be afraid to adjust your temperature or time left in the pan, but the best ones will come from a pan that's hot enough to allow the shortest cooking time on each side.
Making your own tortillas isn't hard, but it might take you a few tries to get your groove on. Having friends over for a taco or burrito night? Put them to work making their own tortillas while you're getting conversation started. What better way to get together than joining in to make your own meal from fresh ingredients!

There's a new design for the [Arcanite Fishing Pole]!
It's a combination of a shield and a flag pole? We do know that Nat Pagle was all for Extreme Anglin' so I guess that could be useful if you need to poke things from afar and quickly take cover.

Triton's Yeo is Indiana All-Star
BOURBON — Triton senior Clay Yeo can now add another first to his already impressive resume.
Yeo was selected as the first player in Trojan boys basketball history to play in the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star Series, Triton announced Tuesday. He is one of 13 Indiana seniors who will play against the Kentucky All-Stars on June 14 in Louisville, Kentucky and on June 15 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
"This is a very prestigious honor, and I'm very humbled to be selected as an Indiana All-Star," said Yeo. "There are a lot of big names from the past who have been Indiana All-Stars, so it's an honor to be a part of such great Indiana basketball history."
"What an amazing honor for Clay," echoed Triton basketball coach Jason Groves, who was asked to serve an assistant coach on the Indiana All-Star team but declined due to prior commitments. "He has had a remarkable season and career here at Triton. He has really worked hard throughout the years to improve himself as a player and person, and it is nice to see that hard work pay off. I am so happy for him to be called an Indiana All-Star."
Yeo is just the second student-athlete from Triton to be selected to the All-Star team. Former Triton great and Michigan University standout Lorea Feldman (1984) was the first Trojan to wear the Indiana All-Star jersey. Yeo is the first male from Triton to be selected to the team.
The 6'6" Valparaiso recruit ended his career at Triton with every scoring record possible, including the all-time scoring record of 1,992 points, single-game scoring record of 44 points, and the single-season scoring record of 675 points set during his junior season in 2011-12.
"It's a great feeling to say that I'm the second individual selected, and to be the first male athlete from Triton is truly awesome," Yeo said. "It just feels great to represent my school and my community. I would really like to thank my family, friends, the school board, staff, and everyone else who has helped me along the way to achieve this dream of mine. Special thanks to Coach Groves for giving me the opportunity to showcase what I can do on the floor and for helping develop me on and off the court."
Yeo will wear the number 8 on his jersey and will be joined by Mr. Basketball Zak Irvin (Hamilton Southeastern), Demetrious Jackson (Mishawaka Marian), Byrson Scott (Ft. Wayne Northrop), Devin Davis (Warren Central), Michael Volovic (Carmel), Collin Hartman (Cathedral), V.J. Beachem (New Haven), Basil Smotherman (Lawerence North), Blake Simmons (Castle), Mike Crawford (Tipton), Michael Schlotman (Munster) and Darius Latham (North Central).

My bad. You are right. I shouldn't have compared this with old center fin experiences. If people riding the board say it works, then it must be of value, and comparing it to a spleene, just because it is a similar shape and purpose probably doesn't make much sense either since it doesn't have a center fin.gmb13 wrote:Do you think we would put all the extra work into the Center Fin concept if it has no value?KYLakeKiter wrote:This may just be me, but I have an old Cabrina Vari 148 that has a 6 fin (2 in the center) setup. I have tried it many times with all 6 fins on it, and I find the center fins almost useless. They seem to have no upwind improvement, and only have a negative affect on sliding turns.
My buddy has a Spleene Barn Door 159 that is much like this board (no center fins) which works great. I can get upwind on it somewhere just at or above 7kts. (not measured, just below where the whitecaps appear) It is an awesome utility board that gets the job done.
I imagine that this Flydoor will be equally good as it looks like the same type of board (it must be improved somehow), but I wouldn't put much hope in what that center fin will do for you. Sorry, don't mean to be negative. That has just been what I have experienced with the center heelside fins.
We do a lot of side by side testing and the center fin makes a huge difference upwind and also in comfort when riding.
The Flydoor 4 destroys the Flydoor 3 Upwind in all conditions. The new Fin makes a huge difference. You will notice it instantly when you take it out. You have to edge harder and expend more energy trying to go upwind. With the Fin in it's way easier.
You need to test it. It's not about only getting upwind, it's about doing it fast and comfortably.

If you're not familiar with ooVoo (www.oovoo.com), it's a popular proprietary video chat and messaging service (as if we haven't enough solutions already) that's already available on iOS and Android. Eric from the ooVoo team has revealed on the official forum that they're indeed working on supporting Windows Phone in the future.
"We will be developing an application for Windows phone 8. I am unable to provide you with the time schedule regarding when it will be released. Stay tuned!"
Unfortunately no details have been provided, so all we can suggest is a patient mind. Once the team manages to release their Windows Phone client, you can expect to see features that include video calling and messaging, file sharing and instant messaging. Paid features could also be added in a later release if not available from the off (video conferencing and more).
It's good to see yet more support coming from established developers and providers.

Consensus Report
Treating Infectious Diseases in a Microbial World: Report of Two Workshops on Novel Antimicrobial Therapeutics (2005)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Humans coexist with millions of harmless microorganisms, but emerging diseases, resistance to antibiotics, and the threat of bioterrorism are forcing scientists to look for new ways to confront the microbes that do pose a danger. This report identifies innovative approaches to the development of antimicrobial drugs and vaccines based on a greater understanding of how the human immune system interacts with both good and bad microbes. The report concludes that the development of a single superdrug to fight all infectious agents is unrealistic.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
In Your Memory - "I'll Make a Man Out of You"
Artist Bio:
In Your Memory bio: Based out of Washington, DC this post-hardcore 5 pieces act formed in 2012. With a jazz-netic twist to to the genre leaning on their punk rock influences. The band made its debut in 2013 with In Your Memory their first self titled EP. During these past few years, the band had a bit of style changes, quick additions and lineup adjustments which finally firmed up in 2014 with a roster consisting of singer Omar Veras, guitarists Casey Allen and Alex Scott, drummer Johnathan Shephard and bassists Troy Humphrey. They followed up quickly that year, releasing Reflections while they slowly built their credentials. This album was seen as something of a breakthrough for the band since it expanded their audience which months later, per followers request, the band went on to releasing their first video "Layers of Lies" in October of 2014.They don't strive in being perfect but if your looking for personality and character with a passionate stage presence you have met your match.
About The Video: We spent several years wanted to take a classic track and make it our own not only by music but video too. Here is another variation of the great disney track, I'll Make a Man Out of You. We modernized the idea of the movie in which its a epic battle preparation to fight the "huns". In this case we gave the "huns" the role of girls who want their significant other to be the idealized "man". At least what we are grown to think is proper with some funny IYM takes of course.

Following "The Decision," where LeBron James declared he'd take his talents from Cleveland to Miami, he went from being hero to a villain in the eyes of many.
People who once rooted for his greatness started cheering for his downfall. They clapped at his inability to make the big shots at the end and reveled in his disappointment of losing to the Mavericks in last year's NBA Finals.
With the Heat up 3 games to 1, and LeBron on the cusp of hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time in his nine-year NBA career, the question is, does finally winning the big one change how people think of the NBA's "King."

Wonder and humility -- a reprise (December 2008)
My generation is the last who will remember these old Mobil gas pumps with the round glass globes on top and the sign of the Flying Horse. Or, for that matter, the two-lane blacktops that threaded their way across America in the days before the Interstates. Here we see them in Edward Hopper's 1940 painting titled, simply, Gas. Click to enlarge.
So much of Hopper's work evokes solitude and loneliness -- somber loners in spare hotel rooms, store fronts on deserted streets, Victorian houses on desolate hills. Gas, too, captures a moment of isolation. A filling station on a road to who-knows-where, the attendant -- that 1940's tie and vest! -- shutting down the pumps for the night. Soon he will flick off the station lights, casting the road and the trees across the road into darkness. The ellipsis of the three white globes at the top of the pumps points down the road into unlit possibilities, like a declarative sentence suddenly suspended in ambiguity.
Technology superimposed on uncertainty. Light pours out the station door; the road plunges into darkness. Of all of Hopper's paintings, this is the one that stays with me. Not only because it captures a seductive moment in my own life, but as a metaphor for the uneasy equilibrium between technology and nature that characterizes our time.
To the right of the road, the warm security of civilization. To the left of the road, beyond the verge, unsullied nature, wild, free, but frightening too. Who is willing to walk at into those woods at night, to forego the benefits of artificial light, to risk the forest primeval?
We can't live without the Flying Horse and all it represents, but part of us remains attached to the organicity out of which we came. I think of something Hopper said about the future of art and the lure of abstraction: "There will be, I think, an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature, and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods, together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions."

Rebecca Weissinger said she and her husband, Mark, initially noticed some differences between Owen and his older brother Theo, but nothing they were too concerned about.
"He slept a lot," she said. "At first he was a great eater, but after a few days, he started to have trouble."
When Owen was four days old, his parents took him in for a routine well-child checkup to make sure that he hadn't lost too much weight. During that appointment a nurse performed a simple test that Rebecca Weissinger credits with saving Owen's life.
"The first thing the nurse did was put on a pulse oximeter," she said. A pulse oximeter is a sensor that is strapped on a baby's foot to measure the saturation of oxygen in the blood. "In a healthy person, it should be close to 100 percent," Weissinger said. Owen's was only at 70 percent when he was happy, and it dropped dangerously to 30 percent when he cried.
Owen was eventually flown to Denver, Colo., where he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. At 10 days old, Owen underwent open-heart surgery. He will celebrate his first birthday this month, and though Weissinger said he still has a few more surgeries ahead of him, his prognosis is good.
When Weissinger heard that Utah Rep. Paul Ray was introducing legislation that would require a pulse oximeter test for newborns before they are discharged from a hospital or birthing center, she looked for a way to help support the proposal. She is currently circulating a petition in support of the legislation.
"Right now the American Heart Association is trying to get this mandated in all 50 states," she said
Weissinger points out that most hospitals already have the equipment required for pulse oximetry testing, it's non-invasive, and estimates put the test at around $1 to $3. "It's no worse than taking a temperature or something like that," she said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, congenital heart defects account for nearly 30 percent of infant deaths due to birth defects. Not all are critical, but the CDC estimates that nearly 300 babies are discharged from hospitals each year with an undetected critical congenital heart defect. This can put them at risk for serious disability or death.
The American Heart Association says new research "suggests wider use of pulse ox screening would help identify more than 90 percent of heart defects." Several states, including Maryland, Indiana and West Virginia, have already passed legislation requiring the testing.
On Feb. 1, Utah lawmakers will meet with members from the American Heart Association for "Heart on the Hill Day," Weissinger said. During that session, several pieces of legislation will be introduced and Weissinger plans to deliver her petition to lawmakers on that day.
"We had to make so many decisions that no parent would ever want to make," Weissinger said of her son's time in the hospital. "Sedation, intubation, stomach pumping, surgery ... You say yes to it all because that was Owen's chance at life. For the legislators, this is their chance to say yes and give that opportunity to other babies in Utah. So I hope they say yes."
Weissinger's petition is currently posted at Moonflower Market in Moab.

On the historic heels of Rep. Brian Sims and Rep. Steve McCarter's introduction of a marriage equality bill in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Corbett was quick to shut it down and make a mockery of extending rights to same-sex couples.
First, during an interview on a morning TV news show on Friday, Corbett compared the marriage of loving gay couples to children trying to tie the knot. But after equality advocates gay and straight alike demanded an apology for that asinine comparison, Corbett thought he'd clear up the confusion by providing a "much better analogy."
"It was an inappropriate analogy, you know," Corbett said. "I think a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don't you?"
A few hours later, he again had to issue a clarification.
"I explained that current Pennsylvania statute delineates categories of individuals unable to obtain a marriage license," he said in a statement. "As an example, I cited siblings as one such category, which is clearly defined in state law. My intent was to provide an example of these categories."
Forgiven, Instincters?

TUCSON, Ariz. (May 30, 2013) – Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) keeps adding more accolades to his resume.
Two days after being one of 30 semifinalists for the Golden Spikes Award, the senior East Tennessee State University pitcher was named Louisville Slugger First Team All-American, which was announced Thursday by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
Doane, the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year and Tournament Most Valuable Player, was one of 17-players to make up the first team listing, while being just one of five starting pitchers to receive the honor.
Doane enters the Nashville Regional with a record of 13-1 and a 1.99 ERA, while leading the NCAA in complete games (12) and innings pitched (140.0). The right-hander is also tied for the NCAA lead with four shutouts. The Buccaneer standout has also set ETSU single season records for innings pitched and complete games, while tying the single-season wins and shutout records.
The other four starting pitchers joining Doane were LSU's Aaron Nola, North Carolina's Kent Emanuel, Mark Appel from Stanford, and Cal State Fullerton's Thomas Eshelman.
Doane is just one of three Buccaneer players to receive Louisville Slugger First Team All-American honors, joining Paul Hoilman (2010) and Bo Reeder (2011).
The All-American teams were chosen by performances up to the regional playoffs and picked by the staff of the Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
ETSU makes its first NCAA Regional appearance since 1981 Friday night when the Blue and Gold take on No. 2 national seed Vanderbilt at 7 p.m., from Hawkins Field.

52nd GRAMMY Awards Slated For Jan. 31, 2010
Music's Biggest Night, the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards, returns to Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, and will air live on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

"We are delighted to host the world's premier music event in our hometown again, especially with the newly-opened GRAMMY Museum in our backyard," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "As always, GRAMMY Week will kick off with events that showcase various genres of music, educational programs and charitable initiatives. We also look forward to working on another remarkable GRAMMY telecast with the City of Los Angeles and our great partners at CBS and Staples Center."
"Music's Biggest Night on America's most watched network always creates memorable moments for television," said Jack Sussman, CBS executive vice president, specials, music and live events. "We look forward to doing it again with our partners at The Recording Academy."
GRAMMY Week — a weeklong series of cultural events culminating in Music's Biggest Night — will again feature celebrations of music, fashion, education, and philanthropy including the Salute To series, GRAMMY Style Studio, GRAMMY Career Day, The Recording Academy and Clive Davis Pre-GRAMMY Gala, the annual MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute, the GRAMMY Foundation's Music Preservation Project program, the Entertainment Law Initiative Luncheon & Scholarship Presentation, and the Producers & Engineers Wing event, among others.

Well, the problem with shipping here, as with 99% of shounen series, is that it's a product of the fans. Technically, the most interest Natsu has ever shown towards anyone is merely as a nakama- even when he save Erza, he was doing mostly because she was a very close nakama to him.
... but i'm still trying to keep the NatsuxLucy one, just because it's sort of the first established in the manga

Well, that's Ezra's fault. From the looks of things, Ezra's been the dominate female influence in his life - one can forgive his slightly askew perceptions on females in general if one takes that into account.
Even so, this is the Fairy Tail Guild - how many normal females apply for membership here anyway? While beautiful, they are not exactly shining examples of womanhood... Well, maybe one or two...but you know what I mean.

I'm pretty sure that Loki's relationship with Lucy is going to be like Sanji's relationship with Nami in One Piece - he's going to try hard to make something happen, but Lucy will stop all his advances - she's more interesting in developing as a mage and going on adventures with Fairy tail then in romance.
About Natsu and Erza, I agree with those who say they are more like comrades and siblings than an actual couple. Natsu also sees Erza as a friendly rival, since he's always trying to beat her. In a different genre romance might develop, but again, this is shounen.
Fairy Tail is just like one big happy family. There is no need to complicate their relationships by introducing romance - they are fine as they are.
OK, the shippers can kill me now

next chapter is Kana vs Lluvia...
should have seen this coming when they were moving around together... i mean, their basically being forced into the same position as everyone else did... question ofcourse being is how will it play out... will they fight until one wins? will it be a double KO? will they find a way out that others could not think of? or maybe someone will stop them from fighting
i can kinda see Mistgun knocking them both out to stop their fighting and then taking on fried... though i still do see things playing out with Ezra fighting loki followed by natsu and gazzille; so in that case Mistgun is either gonna need to choose to sit out the fight or be prevented from fighting on... coudl go either way... i could foresee that fried's barriers do not disappear when he is KO'd and as such Mistgun could wind up trapped after fried's defeat and unable to continue; though i could also see Mistgun doing his supportive thing and taking down the temple of thunder to give them unlimited time to deal with Luxus
though really, aside from those with a personal attachment of somekind to the girls, the reaction would have been more or less the same for a bunch of guys... i mean, this isn't much different than the time they found D-roy, Jet and Levi beaten up by Gazzille... though this has a bit more impact since we actually had some characterization for those turned to stone and know well the relationship they have with certain fairy tail members... last time, we barely knew who levi, droy and jet were and know nothing about their relationships with the others; all in all, the personal impact of the two scenes was much different

I loved this mangaka's earlier work Rave Master as Haru and Elie ended up together at the end. It was so good. But I would be really happy if Lucy and Natsu ended up together but it seems the stellar spirit is ahead of Natsu and Natsu is like Lufy from One Piece who will remain without a girlfriend all their life. So I dont think there will be any type of romance in this manga even the shounen-like romance would've been good

Natsu has the lowest iq of any of the mangaka's other works. Haru while not brilliant actually had a working brain.

Yes, but then that takes away the comic effect... besides, as we've all seen, Natsu can kick major ass when needed to
do keep in mind this is action/comedy... so when we're not doing action, we're doing comedy... and the japanese can sometimes have a strange sense of humor

I am just wondering how many other characters from Mashima's other series are going to make a guest appearance. We had the main characters from Monster Soul appear, as well as Ellie, Haru, Jet, Plue, the blue jelly squid, and Julia make an appearence in earlier chapters. I am wondering how long til Shuda or one of the other characters make an appearence. As for the upcoming chapters, I hope to see what Mistgun can do.

and if Mira-chan should go back to 'Demon Eyes Mira', she should definitely team w/Mist Gun for this - that would truly be 'EPIC'.

Tea, Brittle, Olives & Cake: 10 Delicious Edible Gifts
Every single holiday season I would help my mom make cookies to give away as gifts. She would dedicate several days (usually a few weekends before Christmas) to bake, bake and bake some more. I was always Momma's little helper and I feel as though I have an even greater appreciation for edible gifts now that I'm older.
My mom would make (and still does!) ten different kinds of cookies — all from scratch, of course. As the years have gone by, she's slowly but surely downsized the operation, but she still does it every year. Because this will be the first year I'll be hosting the family in my home, I was thinking of creating some edible gifts that they can take home with them. A little something to remember me and this holiday season by.
Luckily, I unearthed 10 fantastic edible gifts to share:
• 7 Edible Gifts in a Jar
• Break off a Piece! Barks and Brittles for Sharing
• Affordable Wines for Gift Giving: Red and Sweet Wines
• Gift Idea: Homemade Tea Blends
• Chocolate Toffee Matzo Candy
• Food Gift We'd Love to Receive: Whipped Brandy Butter
• Cake In a Jar
• Food Gift: Ethnic Spices and Recipe Ideas
• Savory Food Gift: Spiced Olives from Martha Stewart
• Spirited Gifts for Cocktail Lovers
What's your favorite edible gift to give?

Saanvi Venna Murder: Suspect identified in murder of grandmother, baby in suburban Phladelphia
(AP) BRIDGEPORT, Pa. - Raghunandan Yandamuri, a family friend charged with killing an infant and her grandmother in suburban Philadelphia, told police he dropped the baby as the grandmother charged at him during a botched kidnapping.
PICTURES: Philadephia infant found dead
A police affidavit says Yandamuri targeted the family for a $50,000 ransom plot because both of the infant's parents had jobs. But no one ever contacted the couple after the child's grandmother was fatally stabbed and the girl went missing Monday.
Authorities say they found 10-month-old Saanvi Venna in a bloody white dress early Friday, hidden in a basement fitness room at the apartment complex where the suspect and victims all lived.
The 26-year-old Yandamuri is being held without bail on murder, kidnapping and other charges.
He does not have a lawyer and did not enter a plea at his arraignment Friday.
