'The Bachelorette' Recap: Week Three
Three guys self-implode as Emily's friends grill the pack
By Diane Vadino
Special to MSN TV
It's week three of "The Bachelorette," and this is shaping up, against all odds, to be an entertaining outing: I literally don't remember a season when the bachelorette managed to keep her sanity together to such a degree, and to not dissolve into weeping and wailing or spasms of "He's too good for me" insecurity. (Oh, Ashley—it all worked out in the end.) If Emily's resolve is due to her having a kid, the show should only cast single moms moving forward. I'm so relieved we're seeing echoes of that tough, flinty Emily we only see a couple times during Brad's season rather than how Brad seemed to view her: as a pretty girl with a hot body and not much to say.
Bing: More about Emily Maynard | 'The Bachelorette'
The first date card tonight goes to...Chris. We're still in Charlotte, and they're going to be climbing up the wall (er, of a mall? an office building?)—which gives Chris the opportunity for the evening's first adventure sport-slash-relationship metaphor: "Climbing the building is definitely like love—you have to start somewhere, and we're starting at the bottom." Honestly: Do they give these guys $50 for each one that makes it to air? At the top of the wall, Chris makes entirely too big a deal about whether or not he'll get to kiss Emily, before awkwardly high-fiving her: "I definitely want to kiss her, and I hope that opportunity will present itself, and we'll have a first kiss." If you thought the word "kiss" couldn't become totally creepy through overuse, you'd be proven wrong by Chris. "I really want to get that rose and maybe a first kiss," he adds. Emily asks Chris about his last relationship, and Chris tells her all about his high school girlfriend. Who he just broke up with. Which makes him.... "Twenty-five." Emily, literally, laughs. "It's a little bit of a red flag," she says. Chris still gets the rose, but there's an asterisk on the win, even as Luke Bryan sings and Chris (at long last) gets that first kiss. It's just as cringe-y as we have been led to believe: "Kissing Emily is the greatest thing I've ever experienced in my life," Chris says. Really, Chris? Really?
Next, we have this week's group date, which is at the park. Isn't it a relief to have these low-key dates? The genius (well, such as it is) of these dates isn't the helicopter/bungee jumping/etc., but in twisting the knife a little bit. Today, at the park, it's with the help of Emily's mom buddies, who have been recruited to evaluate the guys. It's maybe not as good as having children torment them (like last year, on Ben's theater date in Napa), but it's great in its own way. "Are you willing to get rid of your egg?" they ask the dude with the ostrich egg. "Have you ever cheated on a girl?" Wendy asks Wolf. "Don't lie." And: "Here comes Jersey!" they yell when Stevie comes in. They force Ryan to do push-ups. "You'd look good in a cape," Wendy says. "Or some Spandex." We see a bit of Sean assuring us that he won't be taking off his shirt today ... and then doing exactly that. Because the balance of power on this show—either this one or "Bachelor"—is so rarely with the lady, it is totally awesome watching Emily's mom friends grill the dudes.

There's more to the date: Emily blows a whistle and a herd of children dashes onto the playground, sort of like a Greek goddess conjuring a storm. Emily and the women are taking notes about who handles the kids well (Jef, barefoot and on a slide, for example) and who doesn't. Speaking of fails, we have Ryan. They're talking about how pretty he is when someone makes a joke about Emily getting married—and getting fat. "As soon as I get married it's downhill," Emily says, jokingly, to Ryan. "Is that okay with you?" As a former pro football player, Ryan should be able to recognize this as a fumble: "Well, no, it's not," he says. "I think you need to be at your very best." It sounds like he's trying to make a stand against obesity in America, but it comes out more like he's just sort of a douche. "I would have a problem if you just got lazy," he says. "I would still love you—I just might not love on you as much." Emily: "He has the guts to tell me I better not get fat after we get married. It's not a good move." Later in the group date, Tony cries so much about missing his son that Emily takes pity on him and sends him home. Doug is nice to him about it ("He's five, dude—he has the attention span of a hummingbird"), and I think I have a crush on Jef. That dude is adorable. Sean gets the rose.
For tonight's second one-on-one date, Emily and Arie will be traveling by private plane ... to Dollywood. "For me, this is the happiest place on Earth," Emily says. In keeping with this season's theme of actual stars (see also: the Muppets), Dolly Parton shows up to serenade the couple. Emily and Arie dance: "This is like the best moment of my life," Emily says, and this is basically the first instance of someone saying that on this show and meaning it. "[Dolly] speaks her mind and wears costumes every day—she does not care. I wish I could be more like that." Dolly tells a totally star-struck Emily that true love is possible—and she knows because she's been married for 45 years. "I would not have known that this is their first date," Dolly proclaims. Over dinner, Arie admits that his ex-girlfriend, a mother of two, broke up with him because (a) she didn't want any more kids and (b) he reminded her too much of her ex-husband, another racer. He asks Emily if she could handle the travel schedule, and she is so enthusiastically yes-yes-yes about it that she literally almost jumps out of her seat. Unless he follows Ryan's crash and burn—Arie for the win?
That should be the end of the drama, but it's not—we still have time to spend with Kalon and Alessandro. The producers must have just insisted that Kalon hang out a bit more, because he's clearly revealed his true self to Emily: "Thanks to you, I had the week off," he says, miffed that he didn't get a date card. "I really took it personally when I didn't get a date this week." It's funny how rarely the guys complain about this—but it's a good thing they don't, since it's clearly a terrible tactic. But there's more to come: "I never had to share much in my life, so to share you is devastating," he says. Even more! How does he feel about becoming little Ricki's dad? "I always believed that my first child would be one of my own," he says. It's a miracle she doesn't ask him to leave immediately, especially when he drops an "I love it when you talk, but I wish you'd let me finish." Emily's take: "I do like tall, skinny and funny, but I don't like tall, skinny, and condescending."
Alessandro is not as lucky as Kalon. First—and we won't see the footage 'til the very end of the show—he apparently told Emily's friends that (a) he's cheated on a girlfriend and (b) he's had a one-night stand. Here's betting he's not the only one—but he was the only one dumb/honest enough to admit it. He's also dumb/honest enough to admit that he sees being a father as a "compromise." Emily is not at all into that; she wants her husband to feel like the luckiest guy on Earth. I know Emily's taken some flak for acting as if she's all that or that she's spoiled—but I say amen; it's about time this show featured a woman who believes she deserves the best. Neither Ashley nor Ali had quite so much moxie. "It's not like a language thing," Emily says, and ushers him to a limo. "While I appreciate his honesty, I'm not sure if he's someone I could see myself spending my life with."
With all these preemptive exits, everybody's getting a rose tonight but one—and that one is Jersey D.J. Stevie. How did he get on this show, anyway?
"The Bachelorette" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

'Pablo' death toll now over 200, hundreds more missing
Death toll from Typhoon Pablo reaches 238. In the aftermath of Typhoon Pablo (Bopha), relatives mourn after identifying the bodies of victims in New Bataan, Compostela Valley on Wednesday. The death toll from the typhoon that ravaged the Philippines jumped to 238 on Dec. 5 with hundreds missing, as rescuers battled to reach areas cut off by floods and mudslides, officials said. AFP/Karlos Manlupig
(Updated 5:32 p.m.) - The death toll from Typhoon Pablo (Bopha), the strongest cyclone to hit the Philippines this year, went up to 238 as of Wednesday afternoon as it continued on its path from Mindanao to the Visayas and Palawan.
Ripping roofs, blowing away homes, and toppling trees, Pablo wreaked havoc in southern Philippines with its 210-kph gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
In New Bataan town in Compostela Valley, 142 people died and 241 others were missing, according to an Agence France-Presse report quoting Lieutenant-Colonel Lyndon Paniza.
In Davao Oriental, 81 people died while 15 more were reported killed in other areas, according to Paniza and the Civil Defense Office.
95 fatalities recorded by NDRRMC
As of Wednesday noon, however, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) tallied only 95 fatalities.
Of the number, only 18 have been identified as of 12:45 p.m.
Among the identified fatalities were:
- Elberto Daniel, 23, of Lazi, Siquijor
- Florentino Lagrimas of San Roque, Northern Samar
- Jegger Gomonit, 31, of Panaon, Missamis Occidental
- John Bonafel, 17, of Baliangao, Misamis Occidental
- Rhodora Acosta, 40, of Salay, Misamis Oriental
- Ronel Brandares, 6, of Valencia, Bukidnon
- Ramonito Bongcasan, 50, of Fortich, Bukidnon
- Erlinda Balante, 64, of Manay, Davao Oriental
- Aerol Lintuan, 5, of Tarragona, Davao Oriental
- Dondot Sumalinab, 15, of Caraga, Davao Oriental
- Rosel Anong, 23, of Caraga, Davao Oriental
- SSgt. Olivares, New Bataan, Compostela Valley
- Jemark Acebedo, 15, of Lingi, Surigao del Sur
- Fritzel Cortes, 48, of Lingi, Surigao del Sur
- Roseta Amoncio, 69, of Bislig City, Surigao del Sur
- Elizabeth Zalueta, 36, of Trento, Agusan del Sur
- Cecilio Duama, 77, of Trento, Agusan del Sur
- Pepito Cabusas, 40, Trento, Agusan del Sur
Most of the bodies so far recovered by search-and-rescue teams were from Southern Mindanao.
Thirty-three unidentified bodies were from New Bataan, seven from Montevista, and eight from Monkayo, all in Compostela Valley, as well as 16 in Cateel, 12 in Boston, and one in Baganga, all in Davao Oriental
The number of injured also rose to 61.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda attributed the NDRRMC's lower figures to the official and standard process that the government follows when reporting casualties.
"First, there must be certification from the Department of Health (DOH), i.e., validate that the cause of death is a consequence of the calamity, followed by positive identification of the remains by anyone familiar with the victim," according to a statement from Malacañang quoting Lacierda.
"First, there must be certification from the Department of Health (DOH), i.e., validate that the cause of death is a consequence of the calamity, followed by positive identification of the remains by anyone familiar with the victim," according to a statement from Malacañang quoting Lacierda.
"Therefore, pending necessary requirements and procedures, all reported figures in the news remain unofficial," Lacierda added.
The NDRRMC reported that 44,954 families or 213,502 persons have been affected by the typhoon so far. As of 1 p.m., Wednesday, NDRRMC said 2,776 houses were destroyed by Pablo in Regions X and Caraga.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development provided P1.2 million assistance to the victims, while local government units were able to provide P2.04 million in assistance.
Davao coastal towns isolated
Meanwhile, in his report sent to Malacañang, Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II said the worst damage from Typhoon Pablo in Davao Oriental was reported in the coastal towns of Baganga, Cateel, and Boston.
"Compounding the damage sustained, the three towns—with a population of approximately 150,000 individuals—have become isolated as bridge connections—south from Mati and North from Compostela Valley—were struck down during the typhoon," he said.
He said relief goods—primarily food, water, generators, tents, and medicine provided by the DSWD, local government units, and civilian donations—are stored in the capital, Mati.
Roxas authorized the mayor of Mati and the governor of Davao Oriental to use their calamity funds for hiring all available fishing boats for an immediate transfer of goods to the affected areas.
In addition, Transportation and Communications Secretary Emilio Abaya is sending a vessel from the Philippine Coast Guard to help distribute the relief goods. The Philippine Navy has likewise arranged to send over a vessel to the stricken province.
Roxas said the situation in the rest of Davao Oriental is getting back to normal, and there are no visible signs of damage.
"The most difficult challenge we face is the restoration of power to the entire province, due to electric posts that were toppled during the typhoon. The local electric cooperative has assured us that gradual restoration of power begins twenty-four to thirty-six hours from now," he said.
Price monitoring
Meanwhile, a separate dzBB report said the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has ordered price monitoring in areas affected by the typhoon.
DTI Director Victor Dimagiba said they will not allow profiteering especially after such a tragedy.
He cited initial reports indicating prices of basic goods remained stable in Western Visayas and Negros Oriental.
Pablo made landfall on the eastern coast of Mindanao early Tuesday, bringing driving rain and strong winds that forced more than 56,000 to seek refuge in emergency shelters.
It made landfall in Palawan on Wednesday morning.
It made landfall in Palawan on Wednesday morning.
It was the sixteenth storm this year to ravage the Philippines, which is hit with about 20 cyclones annually.
In December last year Mindanao was pummeled by tropical storm Sendong (Washi) which killed more than 1,200 and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
US, Canada offer assistance
Meanwhile, the United States on Wednesday expressed sympathy for the victims: "On behalf of the United States government, we extend our deepest condolences for the devastation and loss of life caused by Typhoon Pablo in the southern Philippines."
US Embassy chargé d'affaires Brian L. Goldbeck also said, "We applaud the efforts of local communities, local authorities and the NDRRMC to evacuate citizens, prepare for the storm, and minimize loss of life before and during the storm."
The US will support the Philippines in its rehabilitation efforts, Goldbeck said. "The US government stands ready to assist the Philippine authorities as they respond to this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected," he added.
Canada also said it is ready to provide assistance to the victims of Typhoon Pablo, as it extended condolences to those affected by the devastation wrought by storm.
"We stand with the people of the Philippines during this difficult time and remain ready to provide assistance if requested," Canada's embassy in Manila said in a statement.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Minister of State of Foreign Affairs Diane Ablonczy also said: "On behalf of all Canadians, we offer our deepest condolences and sympathies to those who have lost loved ones or have been otherwise affected by Typhoon Bopha."
Officials at the embassy of Canada in Manila said they are closely following the path of the storm that has left hundreds of people dead and scores missing across Mindanao and Visayas region, and continues to ravage Palawan. — with a report from Michaela del Callar/Andrei Medina/KBK/KG/VS/YA, GMA News

Ben Sheets to retire
PITTSBURGH — When St. Amant native Ben Sheets takes the mound in Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Pirates, he'll be making the final start of his career.
"I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt I'm not playing again," Sheets said in a story published on MLB.com. "No matter what, there is not enough help or money to pull me out of this one."
Sheets, who underwent Tommy John surgery midway through the 2010 season and surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow two years earlier, enjoyed a comeback with the Braves, who lured him out of his two-year retirement in July. He went 4-1 with a 1.41 ERA in his first five starts and later began experiencing right shoulder trouble.
American League
ORIOLES 1, RAYS 0: In St. Petersburg, Fla., Chris Davis homered for the sixth straight game and the Baltimore Orioles overcame a club-record 15 strikeouts by James Shields to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 Tuesday night, pushing the AL East race to the final day of the season.
Baltimore began the night one game behind the first-place New York Yankees.
YANKEES 4, RED SOX 3, 12 INNINGS: In New York, Raul Ibanez tied it with a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning then had an RBI single in the 12th, helping the Yankees remain a game up on Baltimore in the AL East with one game to go.
The Yankees need a win or Orioles loss on the final day of the season to secure their 13th division title since 1996.
If the teams end up even after Wednesday's games, they'll play a tiebreaker Thursday in Baltimore.
ROYALS 4, TIGERS 2: In Kansas City, Mo., Miguel Cabrera had two hits and drove in two runs before leaving in the fifth inning, and the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat his AL Central champion Detroit.
With one game remaining in the regular season, Cabrera leads the American League in average (.331), home runs (44) and RBIs (139), putting him on the brink of becoming the first Triple Crown winner since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
National League
REDS 3, CARDINALS 1: In St. Louis, Mat Latos won his fourth straight decision to finish the regular season and Scott Rolen homered off Chris Carpenter, helping the Cincinnati Reds keep the St. Louis Cardinals' postseason plans on hold.
The Cardinals' magic number for clinching the second NL wild card remained at one with a game to go, and they were left in the uncomfortable position of watching the Dodgers on television and rooting for a loss for the second straight night. e_SClBLos Angeles, which began the day two games back with two remaining, played at home against the Giants later Tuesday.
The 37-year-old Carpenter (0-2) has a wealth of big-game experience and went 4-0 in the postseason last fall for the World Series champions, memorably outdueling Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay in Game 5 of the NL division series.

Print | MARSHALL SPORTS
Herd O-line ready for challenge
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University's offensive line took on one of the best defensive fronts in the nation last weekend at Purdue.
And, for the most part, the Purdue pass rush didn't bother Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato. The Thundering Herd allowed Cato to be sacked only twice by Purdue in its 51-41 victory.
This week, the plight gets more difficult when Tulsa comes to town with the most sacks in the nation (26).
Tulsa (4-1, 2-0) and Marshall (2-3, 1-0) meet at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, in a Conference USA clash at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The Marshall Homecoming game is televised on the CBS College Sports network, which is Ch. 174 on Huntington cable.
"This game (Purdue) showed us that it doesn't matter who our opponent is, our offense is going to perform the way we know how," Marshall left tackle Jordan Jeffries said. "Purdue was a top 25 defense and they had stopped everyone they played from scoring. We know that if we come out and play the way we are capable of playing, we can score on anyone."
While Purdue and Tulsa both have solid defenses, the way they go about it is different.
Purdue uses its massive defensive line to get in the face of the opposing quarterback while trying to cover with the back seven. When Tulsa comes to Joan C. Edwards Stadium, the Golden Hurricane will bring a whirlwind of pressure with a multitude of blitz packages featuring their athletic linebackers.
Tulsa had seven sacks last week against UAB.
"That's a good defensive front and they bring some good blitzes and stuff like that," Marshall right guard John Bruhin said. "Hopefully, we can study them up, see where they are coming from and get everything dialed in so it won't happen to us."
Not only does the game pit the third-ranked passing offense in the nation against the national leader in sacks, it also provides a pivotal C-USA matchup with both sides looking to remain undefeated in league play.
Tulsa's conference victories were against Tulane (45-10) and UAB (49-42). Marshall has a win over Rice (54-51, 2OT).
"We have to refocus and know that it's a conference game," Bruhin said. "This is the game we really live for. ... We have to get back to the grindstone.
"This is one we have to win."

The loss came despite substantial cuts in the broadcasters operating costs as the station put in place a number of measures to curb its ongoing expenses and reduced staff numbers.
RTÉ director-general Noel Curran said in his annual review that RTÉ has reduced its operating costs by close to 20 per cent since 2008 and said that he was committed to the broadcaster breaking even in 2013.
The annual report showed that commercial revenues last year stood at 167.3m, down 8.4m on last year. In total, commercial revenues at the broadcaster are down by 32 per cent since a peak reached in 2007.
TV advertising income also fell by 6.3m over the year. The latest reduction brings the total fall in RTÉs TV advertising revenue to 40 per cent from the 2007 peak.
Income from the TV licence was also down and fell to 183.6m for the year, the equivalent, RTÉ said, to its licence fee earnings in 2006.
In his review, director-general Noel Curran said RTÉ is going through a period of profound change and spoke of the huge challenges the broadcaster faced.
He added that for RTÉ must continue to reduce our costs, optimise our commercial potential to eliminate our deficit and return to a sustainable financial footing.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most frustrating and confusing of digestive disorders experienced by both women and men. 65% of cases are female with over 35s being the most common age group affected. It is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. It can have a huge impact on your quality of life, with some people becoming virtual prisoners of the condition.
By David McDonagh, Dietician, Fitness Trainer & Metabolism Specialist, Creator of System 10 Precision Weight Loss. www.system10weightloss.com
The good news is that simple things can dramatically help you! The soluble fibre in rice, potatoes, carrots and turnips is amazing and should be the cornerstone of any treatment. Drinking water is equally dramatic in its benefits. A little time out with deep breathing and a nice relaxing cup of chamomile tea can greatly help you too!
Research shows that an essential fat supplement can work wonders for you. Equally great is a probiotic supplement, with one client of mine saying she felt the best in 20 years after taking this alone with no other change! Chewing food is a vital first step in the right direction, and can often help you cope with foods that you feel are trigger foods. Herbal teas, especially fennel and chamomile, provide amazing benefits too.
IBS affects a huge number of people. It is essentially the name given to a digestive disorder that exists when all other recognisable digestive disorders have been ruled out. The last point is a key one; please do not just assume that you have IBS as it shares many symptoms with other digestive disorders. It is important to rule out other conditions first with your GP.
The symptoms of IBS can be many, but lower abdominal pain and cramping, gas, constipation, diarrhoea or alternating bouts of these are among the most common. Equally varied are the trigger foods that seem to affect people, and this makes treating the condition all the more difficult. Colitis is the next stage progression from IBS and diverticulitis is a step further again, so the recommendations here will help all three conditions greatly.
The real problem with IBS is that we tend to mask it over with medications, waiting for the next flare-up to occur. Medications should only be used in extreme emergencies and are not a good idea in the long-term. Laxatives are equally destructive and again should only be used in extreme emergencies and for the short-term. The right approach is to identify and eliminate the root cause of your problem, and then control any trigger foods until you have built up your digestive system to strong effective normal operation again. Here are the tips that will really make a difference to you.
The foods that trigger IBS, colitis and diverticulitis vary for everyone.
- Look first at wheat products, dairy products, red meats, corn and corn products.
- Then look at citrus fruits (oranges, lemons and limes), broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, spicy food like peppers and chillies, carbonated drinks, coffee and beans.
If in doubt take them all out for a while! Safe alternatives are oat-based muesli, oat bran porridge, millet flakes, rice flakes, quinoa, fortified oat milk, fortified rice milk, soy milk, fruit other than the above, carrots, parsnips, turnips and chickpeas. Basmati rice is amazing and chicken and fish should be fine too!
This is one of the most critical steps of all and helps get to the root cause of the problem. It can be your key to being able to eventually re-introduce many of your trigger foods.
- Get one good essential fat supplement with omega 3 and 6 essential fats from a combination of fish, flax and borage seeds altogether.
- Take a multi-strain probiotic supplement (friendly bacteria). Start with the equivalent of 6 to 10 billion bacteria daily and build quickly up to at least 20 billion bacteria daily after a few days.
- And my favourite – L-glutamine – this simple amino acid available from most health stores repairs multiple problems in the digestive system. It is truly amazing! Get it in powder form and mix with water – it is tasteless! Follow the instructions on the package.
There is a lot of misunderstanding about fibre! You badly need fibre, but focus initially on soluble fibres from apples, plums, carrots, brown rice, oat bran, linseeds and psyllium husks. Linseeds and psyllium husks can be miracle workers so pay particular attention to these. Soluble fibre is a great regulator of the bowel function and will improve both constipation and diarrhoea! Slowly build up your insoluble fibre too as this is very important to long-term health – choose beans, peas and lentils, non wheat grains, breads and cereals, e.g. couscous, quinoa, amaranth, spelt bread, rye bread, oat bran bread and rye flakes, millet flakes and barley flakes.
This is one of the most frequent causes of IBS. Avoiding stress is almost impossible but you can certainly learn to control it! Thankfully very few life events are 'life or death,' situations and you need to practice taking this approach to analysing problems. If it;s not 'life or death,' don't let it take over your life and put a strict limit on the time you spend worrying about it. Very helpful too is to take 5 minutes out daily and sit down, close your eyes and just focus on deep breathing, and if possible listen to some calming music. One cup of chamomile tea morning and evening is also amazing for calming the nerves.
This is fundamental to easing IBS and preventing re-occurrence. Proper water levels are crucial for normalising bowel function. You need to drink 1 litre for every 100lbs you weigh, and focus on drinking it between meals and not at meals as it can hinder digestive function. Please don't underestimate the power of water for this condition.
Use of medications and laxatives is not good for IBS unless in cases of real emergency. The bottom line is they mask over the problem, do nothing to address the real cause and it will re-surface again. The more often you use these, the weaker your system is getting overall. You need to take a 'root cause' constructive approach to solving IBS as outlined in the tips here.
Sometimes in looking for a miracle we overlook the real miracle! Chewing your food can greatly help improve many IBS problems. Proper chewing is critical to good digestion. The more solid the food the more you need to chew. Swallowing lumps of food is the cause of much digestive irritation and food intolerance. So a little more thought about chewing and enjoying the flavour of your food will work wonders! Focus on chewing solid foods at least 10 times.
If you get a flare-up, which will be inevitable in your journey to fixing this, then eliminate all trigger foods and focus for a few days on rice dishes and soups and juices made from soluble fibres, especially carrots, parsnips and turnips and apple and grape juice.

Two weeks ago, we mentioned that Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren (inset, attractive) had bulldozed her $12 million home, with very little reasoning or explanation other than she didn't like it. Turns out that was a little off, thank goodness, because she had somehow found a way to make herself into at least 1/10th of the villain that El Tigre had.
Nordegren recently defended her decision and explained with verification from her construction team that the house was a death trap, as it had been riddled by termites and rot, which I assume is also her nickname for Woods' genitals.
So not only does she have a great reason for having to tear down the house that will now ultimately cost her close to $25 million, but she also made the best of it for the sake of helping charity. Before the house was demolished, Nordegren had the construction workers go through the house and salvage anything they could – chandeliers, window frames, doors, etc. – and she donated them all to Habitat for Humanity.
You know, if she wasn't already seeing another billionaire, I might have considered dating this woman.

Anorexia Nervosa and the Kidney
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 05/22/2012
Bouquegneau A et al. – Anorexia nervosa can affect the kidney in numerous ways, including increased rates of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, electrolyte abnormalities, and nephrolithiasis. Additionally, the diagnosis and treatment of anorexia nervosa–associated kidney diseases are challenging, reflecting complications such as refeeding syndrome, as well as the limitations of serum creatinine level in this population to estimate kidney function and the psychosocial challenges inherent with treating systemic manifestations of psychiatric conditions.

"This neighborhood can now claim to be the first in Manhattan with totally free outdoor Wi-Fi," announced Mayor Michael Bloomberg this morning, standing in the concrete courtyard of the Fulton Senior Center on Ninth Avenue.
Thanks to 29 antennas mounted on lamposts and buildings throughout the neighborhood, free Wi-Fi is now available outdoors in the area bounded by Gansevoort and 19th Streets, Eighth Avenue and the West Side Highway.
The only other New York City neighborhood to have similar Wi-Fi access is Dumbo, in Brooklyn.
The mayor has made bolstering the city's tech-friendliness one of his chief third-term goals, and he framed today's announcement as part of that larger effort.
The Chelsea Improvement Company, a neighborhood nonprofit, sponsored the $250,000-over-two-years effort with Google, which bought its $2 billion Ninth Avenue headquarters a couple of years ago and can now claim New York City as its second-biggest hub.
"It's not very expensive, so the mayor and I are talking maybe we can do this for the whole city," said Schumer, who had downloaded his talking points to his iPad using the new Wi-Fi.
"With federal money, we'd love to do it," said Bloomberg.
"Excellent," said Schumer. "It would be a smidgen of what Sandy is costing us."
Twenty parks around the five boroughs also have free Wi-Fi, as part of a partnership with AT&T. Another 32 parks are supposed to be wired by September.
Following the press conference, reporters tailed Schumer out of the courtyard.
One of them asked him if today's report that Bloomberg had asked him to run for mayor was true.
"Just read the newspaper," he said, before slipping away.
The Google/CIC hotzone is great, but there's even more free Wi-Fi in parks around NYC. Check out NYCwireless (http://www.nycwireless.net)

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the correct "Rails" way to perform validation prior to creating a new assocation between my models. Here's the models: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :roles has_many :instructorships has_many :instructed_courses, :through => :instructorships, :source => :course class Course < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :instructorships has_many :instructors, :through => :instructorships, :source => :instructor class Instructorship < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :instructor, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => 'user_id' belongs_to :course I'm trying to introduce a validation whereby only user objects with a role of 'instructor' can be assigned as an instructor on a course. Firstly, where would this validation go? On the association model? And secondly, what is the right way to set this up? thanks for your help, Cathal.

The validation would go in the Instructorship model. You'll need a custom method, like so: http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_va... -- Dheeraj Kumar

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Trouble with equipment has caused at least 20 flights to be diverted or canceled at the Ithaca-Tompkins Regional Airport since Friday.
The trouble is with frequency crystals in the vertical navigational system that helps guide planes in for landing when visibility is poor.
Without the system, pilots must be able to see the runway from 1,000 feet rather than 250 feet.
But officials say thanks to Senator Charles Schumer, repairs are underway. Schumer urged the FAA to act quickly, after repairs were slated to take up to six weeks. That's how long it takes the manufacturer to grow new crystals, but officials found some in Newark that are no longer in use.
Testing should be completed by the end of the week. Until then, passengers will have to hope for clear weather.
The airport manager hopes to upgrade the 1950s technology next year, but he estimates it will cost more than a million dollars.

With a potential lockout looming Saturday, the St. Louis Blues on Friday assigned 24 players to their minor-league team in Peoria.
The list included defenseman Ian Cole and forward prospects Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz.
No decision has been made whether Tarasenko will choose to report to Peoria or return to play in the KHL, the Russian pro league.
"It has not been decided yet," Tarasenko said during his news conference earlier this month. "We have two options, to go to Peoria or to go to KHL. I'm going to speak with Doug Armstrong about that on Sept. 15 when we'll make the decision that's the best for me."
Forward Ty Rattie and goalie Jordan Binnington were assigned to their respective junior teams, with Rattie to Portland of the Western Hockey League and Binnington to Owen Sound of the Ontario Hockey League.
Defense prospect Jani Hakanpaa was assigned to his team in Finland, the Espoo Blues.
Other players assigned to Peoria were goaltenders Jake Allen, Mike McKenna and Paul Karpowich, defensemen Taylor Chorney, Mark Cundari, Cade Fairchild, Scott Ford, Brett Ponich and David Shields and forwards Jay Barriball, Cody Beach, Adam Cracknell, Stefan Della Rovere, Evgeny Grachev, Andrew Murray, Anthony Nigro, Anthony Peluso, Tyler Shattock, Brett Sonne and Sebastian Vannstrom.
Nothing seems imminent concerning a breakthrough in negotiations between the NHL and NHL Players Association in terms of a new collective bargaining agreement.
In other Blues news Friday, former Blues defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo signed a two-year, $5 million with the Detroit Red Wings.
"It's a great feeling," Colaiacovo told the Detroit Free Press. "It's the place from Day 1 where I wanted to be. It's Hockeytown, it's the Detroit Red Wings, it's a place, Joe Louis Arena, which I absolutely love playing in. First-class organization. It's a roster full with world-class players. I'm just glad to be a part of that."
Colaiacovo was an unrestricted free agent. The Blues could still make more moves before the season begins, but right now General Manager Doug Armstrong said he is comfortable with Cole as the team's sixth defenseman.
The 29-year-old Colaiacovo was Toronto's first-round pick in 2001. Bothered by injuries at times during his four seasons with the Blues, Colaiacovo contributed 18 goals and 106 points in 249 games.
He also had three assists in seven playoff games with the Blues.

Medal hope Campbell sleeps on pro plans
LUKE CAMPBELL'S only visit to Las Vegas ended up with him falling asleep at Ricky Hatton's world title defence against Juan Urango.
Now Campbell is dreaming of life among the stars once he achieves his ambition of winning an Olympic medal.
The Hull bantamweight, who fights Italian Jahyn Parrinello for a quarter-final place today, went to Sin City with pals so he could watch the Hitman take on Urango.
It was the furthest Campbell, one of GB's first qualifiers for London 2012, had flown and he almost missed the Hitman beating Urango by a unanimous decision in January 2007.
Campbell, 24, said: "I went there for three nights with a few friends. I must admit I was falling asleep watching the fight, I hardly saw a thing."
As well as missing chunks of the show, Campbell could not even try his hand at the fruit machines because strict Vegas laws stop people gambling until they are 21.
He said: "I was 19 but I couldn't resist it. I ran up to one machine real quick, shoved a bill in it and ran back before anyone had noticed. And no, I didn't win."
Campbell will be a top target for professional promoters after the Games but reckons he has not thought much about the switch.
He said: "I was overwhelmed in Vegas and maybe one day I'd fancy some of that but for now there is only one thing on my mind — winning a medal in London. I've honestly not thought about turning pro. It's not come into my head as these Games are everything to me.
"I'm concentrating on the build-up, getting better and better to be the best I can in the boxing hall."
One thing on Campbell's mind is the constant battle to make the 56kg weight for a competition that has him boxing at bantamweight.
He added: "I have a sweet tooth — I like chocolate and cheesecake. I do have a little treat here and there but I have to be careful to make sure I hit the scales right."
Campbell wants to stay in sport but knows an injury could ruin his plans, so he has got some decent qualifications.
He said: "I dug deep in my last years at school and did well with the GCSEs. I'm looking after myself for when I'm out of the ring."
As a serious medal hopeful, Campbell has proved he can look after himself IN the ring.
