Physicist Lawrence Krauss on Our Cosmic Origins, the Beauty of Science, and Outgrowing Religion (video)
"The ideas of science make it so important for humans — it's part of what makes being human worth being human, the ideas of science,"
Dr. Lawrence Krauss said.
On July 13, Dr. Krauss sat down with radio show host and producer Krista Tippett for the final interview in her week-long series based around the theme, "Inspire, Commit, Act."
"The ideas change our perspective of our place in the cosmos, and to me, that's what great art, music, and literature is all about. When you see a play, or see a painting or hear a wonderful piece of music in some sense, it changes your perspective of yourself, and that's what science does in a profoundly important way and in a way with content that matters."
Dr. Krauss is a theoretical physicist and foundation professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration and physics department at Arizona State University. He is a frequent contributor to publications such as The New York Times and Scientific American. He has authored many books, including, The Fifth Essence: The Search for Dark Matter in the Universe; Fear of Physics; and Atom: An Odyssey from the Big Bang to Life on Earth…and Beyond.
In his conversation with Ms. Tippett in the Hall of Philosophy, Dr. Krauss discussed his own experience with religion, the excitement and beauty of science, scientific progress and the universe, how science can provide comfort, a positive understanding of life and provided a short lesson on the recently discovered Higgs boson particle.
Dr. Krauss was reared in a Jewish household, but religion was always considered the root of tradition and social machination rather than as a source of ideas:
"I read the Bible, I read the Quran, I read a bunch of things when I was a kid and went through phases where those myths appealed to me. And then I grew out of it — just like Santa Claus."
Early in his life, his mother, who hoped he would become a doctor, pushed Dr. Krauss toward science. Reading about scientists and science further sparked his attention. As he, he focused his scholarship on physics.
"Physics was always, by far, the sexiest of the disciplines and still is by the way."
Scientists do the work they do because it is fun and exciting, Dr. Krauss said. In our world and society, it is becoming increasingly common to view science from a narrow, utilitarian lens; essentially, people see science as the physical technologies it creates rather than the ideas it fosters.
"To me, one of the most exciting things about science is the ideas. Science has produced the most interesting ideas that humans have ever come up with."
Dr. Krauss lamented that we live in an era where it has been both common and acceptable to be science illiterate. That is dangerous, especially when everything around us that keeps us alive is fueled by scientific research. It is shocking that the presidential candidates do not have a debate centered around science, he said.
In 1996, Dr. Krauss published The Physics of Star Trek. The physicist said he liked science fiction until he realized how much more exciting the scientific ideas, discoveries, and questions behind it could be.
"People imagine science fiction as an imaginative rendering of science, when in fact science is a far more imaginative rendering of science fiction."
In the Star Trek narrative, two very important ideas are posited.
"The Star Trek future is a better place because of science. And I can't resist saying it here, now that I think about it. It was one of the reasons in Star Trek that basically they've dispensed of the quaint notions, the myopic views of the 21st century, including most of the world religions."
Dr. Krauss is director of the Origins Project at Arizona State.
"All of the interesting questions that I can see in science, and for the most part in scholarship, are based on the topic of origins."
In his work, Dr. Krauss asks questions about the origins of the universe, life, and consciousness. He asks questions that seem to combine both scientific and spiritual curiosities.
One vast difference, Dr. Krauss said, can be found hidden within the word "choice." In religion, philosophy or theology, many questions and questions of origins are started with the word "why." Dr. Krauss said he believes asking questions with the word "why" implies a presumption that there is a greater meaning, a greater significance, when in fact, no evidence points to that.
Science alters the kinds of questions we ask, because science is always progressing, pushing at the frontier and finding new knowledge so new questions must be asked, he said.
Two hundred years ago, when Darwin was studying and writing, he worked on understanding the origin of the diversity of species — he never attempted to define the origin of life, or the origin of matter, and he laughed off the notion that one ever would, Dr. Krauss said.
"But today, that's exactly what we're talking about," he said.
The scientific world is full of ideas, questions, discoveries and failures. Often the information gathered by scientists challenges preconceived notions about the nature of the universe or religious beliefs.
"Being uncomfortable is a good thing, because it forces you to reassess your place in the cosmos. Being too comfortable means you've become complacent and you stop thinking. And so being uncomfortable should be a spiritually uplifting experience."
One of the most important and widely discussed scientific discoveries in recent history is the Higgs boson. In his lecture, Dr. Krauss traced the recent progressions in scientific thought and understanding, which have allowed for the revolutionary finding. He discussed how that has expanded the scientific frontier and allowed for the eruption of a new set of questions and ideas.
The importance of the discovery reflects and celebrates a change in the understanding of the universe that took place approximately 50 years ago, Dr. Krauss said.
There are four basic forces of nature: electromagnetism, gravity, and strong and weak forces. At the start of the 1960s, only one of the forces — electromagnetism — was thought to be understood. By the end of that decade, scientists understood three of the four forces, Dr. Krauss said.
The realization that all forces could be understood by one mathematical formalism prompted that growth in understanding, Dr. Krauss said.
"You know you make a breakthrough in science when two things that seem very, very different suddenly are recognized as being different aspects of the same thing."
In the '60s, scientists proposed that electromagnetism, a long-range force that works across long distances, and weak force, a force that is responsible for nuclear reactions on the sun and is prompted by short-range interactions between nuclei, were fundamentally the same.
Forces are understood in physics as the exchange of particles. Historically, it was theorized that electromagnetism was a long-range force because the particle exchanged was a photon, which was massless. It was also thought that in weak force, particles were exchanged over minute distances, because the particles were massive.
But with the realization that those particles could be explained by the same math formula, the proposal came that those particles were essentially the same and massless, Dr. Krauss said. The only way that could be possible would be if there were an invisible field with which massless particles could relate.
"If this invisible field permeates all of space, you can't see it, but if the particles that convey the weak force interact with that field and get slowed down like swimming through molasses, get retarded because of that interaction, they act like they're massive, whereas the photon doesn't — it remains massless. Then everything would work."
Scientists are not in the business of creating forces, Dr. Krauss said. So following that proposal, physicists have been at work trying to detect that invisible force. Because if something exists, it should be detectable, Dr. Krauss said. If the field exists, scientists proposed that if they hit it with enough energy in a small enough region, an observable particle should be produced. That is what Higgs scientists think they have discovered.
"What's really beautiful is every time we make a discovery in science, we end up having more questions than answers. Having discovered the Higgs does not close the book. We still don't understand why this Higgs field exists in the universe, and by why I mean how."
Mystery drives science, Dr. Krauss said. Though concepts such as religion, mysticism and other similar schools are based in mystery, the difference is science has changed the language of mystery and progresses with the gathering of real knowledge.
"Science has moved beyond, has taken us beyond our childhood."
In the lecture, Ms. Tippett discussed the value of religion and spirituality for aiding, preparing, and comforting someone who is on his or her deathbed. She asked Dr. Krauss what science would be able to say to a dying person.
"Every single thing that religion provides, rationality, empiricism, and science can provide. And not only that — they can provide it better."
People should be taught the truth about death — that it is a natural, necessary part of life and that it will happen. The meaning of life is the meaning you make of it, Dr. Krauss said. That knowledge should be instilled in people not just on their deathbeds, but throughout their lives, so they make decisions in a way that reflects that reality. Moral and ethical decisions cannot be made or decided without a basis in reality, Dr. Krauss said.
"If the stars tonight realigned themselves and said 'I am here,' in Greek — presumably, ancient Greek — then I'd say, 'Maybe there's something to all of this.' "
He said, though, that when there is no evidence of something, it becomes highly unlikely.
"It seems to me the knowledge that the meaning we have is the meaning we make should inspire us to do better."
Ms. Tippett asked Dr. Krauss whether he would appreciate or understand religion more if he experienced it in a different way. She read Dr. Krauss a passage from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a Jewish theologian:
"It is customary to blame secular science and anti-religious philosophy for the eclipse of religion in modern society. It would be more honest to blame religion for its own defeats. Religion declined not because it was refuted, but because it became irrelevant, dull, oppressive, insipid. When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion — its message becomes meaningless."
Wise people can come from any background, Dr. Krauss said. Wisdom is born of experience and knowledge, and there have been many wise thinkers and writers from religion, such as Maimonides. However, he said, he is often confused by why people who are so wise feel they still need religion.
"There's beauty in the paintings that Leonardo da Vinci and others, Michelangelo and others, did in context of religion. That's just a response to the culture of the time, and I don't see why given what you know now you can't have that same wisdom without discarding the provincial basis of it."
In the closing minutes of the lecture hour, Ms. Tippett and Dr. Krauss discussed the scientific refutation of the historical precedent to create "us versus them" scenarios, which often lead to prejudice, violence, and inhumanity. He said:
"Science can provide a realistic basis of understanding how artificial and myopic the definitions of us versus our enemies are. We're made of their atoms. And every atom in our body was once inside a star that exploded. One of the most poetic things I know about the universe is that we're all stardust. These are amazing things and they have content and they're true."

Parkersburg High School's insurance company discovered cracked concrete and rusted support beams.
The school hasn't had a major renovation done on the stadium since the early 1990's.
Wood County Schools Superintendent, Doctor Patrick Law says there's not a budget in place but he's working to get immediate help.
In the mean time, the district will heavily depend on the booster clubs for financial support.
A proposal will be made for an architect to come and begin creating a new design for the stadium.
WTAP asked several people today about their thoughts on the closing of stadium field.
"I think it's a little bit surprising believe it or not because if it act like it was a real kept up stadium, I guess like some paint chipping off now and then," says Matt Papesh.
"Well first off, I think that's kind of bad planning on the school's part that they didn't have any back up money to get those because those are probably still the original ones whenever they built the school," says Michael Swisher.
"I think it's a shame. I like to be able to see it be repaired and be brought back up to order so we can continue to have the games and such forth there," says Greg Berry.
"I think that they should do it, I mean the stadium has been open for the longest time and if it's not up to code, then it's not up to code," says Anna Perry.
Dr. Law says arrangements will be made for spring sports team that play their home games at stadium field.

Affecting, imaginatively shot docu "Here I Learned to Love" accompanies two septuagenarian brothers, Avner Kerem and Izhak Weinberg, on a pilgrimage to retrace their childhood experiences during the Holocaust. Unlike similar memory-tracking endeavors, the film feels completely spontaneous and non-accusatory, the brothers' emotional reactions rarely following expected paths. Their complex story, haltingly pieced together on the journey, involves being rescued by one "mother" after another, their happiest childhood remembrances coinciding with the horrors of Bergen-Belsen. This moving evocation of a world gone mad through the eyes of toddlers opened Oct. 26 at Gotham's Quad Cinema.
Several landmarks on the brothers' peril-fraught adventure still exist, from their apartment in the Krakow ghetto to the bunker where their soon-to-be-deported parents hid them. They trek through fields to the Polish farmhouse where they holed up with their pregnant aunt, to the railroad station where she threw them onto a train of Zion-bound Jews, to the concentration camp where the train was rerouted. Crying, singing, laughing or praying, the brothers compare memories of long-ago events for the first time, reconciling differences in a flood of recollected pain and unexpected solidarity.

1. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllermark_h_@intel Nov 19, 2009 2:58 PM (in response to Celijntje)
The driver that Windows 7 installed is the only driver for that network connection, which is why you can not find an updated driver. Are you having a problem with the network connection or just looking for the latest drivers?
2. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllerCelijntje Nov 20, 2009 4:51 AM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Wel I can't connect to the internet, so I would say network problems ...
(ethernet controller is colored yellow in hardware devices)
3. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllermark_h_@intel Nov 20, 2009 12:45 PM (in response to Celijntje)
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure what is happening, so I am going to ask a few questions to try to zero in on the cause.
Like you mentioned in the original post, your Ethernet controller is built into an OEM design. What brand and model is your computer?
What error code and message do you get in the Windows Device Manager Device status?
When you look at the Ethernet Controller in Windows Device Manager take a look at the Details tab. The Device Instance Id that is displayed will look something like this:
I copied the above example from my wireless connection, so you will see something different.
Your controller Id should start with VEN_8086&DEV_101. Check the character after VEN_8086&DEV_101.
If you see VEN_8086&DEV_101A, then Windows 7 does not include a driver.
If you see VEN_8086&DEV_1019, then Windows 7 includes a driver and should load it automatically.
If you do not see either of the above, then let me know what you see.
4. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllerriedl Jan 9, 2010 9:57 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
I'm getting the same error when I try to update the driver for my Intel 82547EI Ethernet Controller. My motivation for changing the driver is that I'm getting terrible network performance: less than 1MB/sec! All the other computers on my LAN get much better network performance, and I have tried with a different cable, and a different slot in the switch.
The problem appears to be that even though windows calls this chipset an Intel Pro/1000 it's not really in that family.
Anyway, I built the computer from parts based on an Asus P4C800-E motherboard some years ago. The numbers you asked for from the device manager are:
Any ideas how to get better performance?
5. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllermark_h_@intel Jan 11, 2010 2:30 PM (in response to riedl)
I can only guess at possible issues. Since you have tried different cables and switch ports, you might want to try changing some of the advanced settings. The most common performance problems are caused by speed and dupliex setting mismatch. You can usually get away with the auto setting. In this situation, I would experiment with other Link Spped & Duplex settings. If that does not work, I might try some of the other settings.
If I remember correctly, that Windows 7 driver does not include a Gigabit Master Slave Mode, but if it does have that setting, I would try forcing slave or forcing master. Hopefully, one of the settings will help you. If all else fails, you might need to install a new adapter.
6. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet controllerriedl Jan 11, 2010 8:14 PM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Thanks for the ideas. I'll give them a try. The big thing I'm hoping to hear is: is *anyone* getting good network performance with this chipset in Windows 7? I've been assuming that the problem is that the Windows 7 driver isn't any good for the device ... (In related news, my D-Link gigabit switch is not on the approved for windows 7 list. I wonder what MS is speaking that an ethernet switch might not like?)
7. Re: Can't update driver for ethernet firstname.lastname@example.com Aug 3, 2010 4:41 AM (in response to mark_h_@intel)
Hi All
I have Dell Optiplex 755 with on board Intel Gigabit 82566DM-2 with the same code 10 error on all of the windows Like XP Vista and windows 7 although i have the latest driver version which is 9.13.16 for my 82566DM-2 but still the code 10 error not gone thats why i cant be able to use my on board lan card and intead of iam using PCI Lan Card please advise to resolve my problem please help me out.

Dr. Raymond Roy's Portrait Unveiled Our Annual Alumni Reception was a great time to reunite with current and former residents, friends, and colleagues. The event was held this year on August 23, 2013 at The Piedmont Club where all shared in the unveiling of Dr. Raymond Roy's portrait.
Here is a portion of what Dr. Roy had to say about his portrait. "This department has always been a place where we believed in anesthesia as a profession and in the importance of collegiality. We care for both our patients and our colleagues. It is all of us. I thank Dr. Tobin for commissioning this portrait. I thank the department for allowing me to share this moment with my family. I am accompanied by my wife Connie, two of my three daughters Katharine and Taylor, one of my three sons-in-law Doug, and five of my six grandchildren, Margaret, Thomas, Jack, Eleonora, and Nevio. I'd like to make a few comments about the portrait. The artist is Louis Guidetti, the son of Dr. Dick Guidetti, a former resident and faculty member with us. Louis does not paint from photographs. He demanded more than forty hours of "sitting." I can tell you I was frequently very stiff after one of his two-three hour sessions. No pose is comfortable held that long. But it was worth it. I think he has enormous talent. I am honored that the portrait will be hung alongside the portraits of two mentors, Dr. Thomas Irving and Dr. Frank James, who preceded me as chair. Tom instilled in me the joy of anesthesia as a profession. Frank taught me to expect more of myself. The background is significant because it references a third mentor, my father-in-law, Dr. Thomas Green. The microscope depicted was the one he used in medical school and then gave to me to use. He loved medicine and provided great emotional support. But perhaps my best and most important mentors have been my wife and children. I have finally matured into the husband my wife has always wanted me to be and into the father my daughters wanted me to be. I am also finally ready to be a great department chair, but my time for that has come and gone. There is a lesson here somewhere." ~ Raymond C. Roy, MD, PhD, Anesthesiology Chair, 1998-2008.
The 3 portraits are displayed in the reception area of the Department of Anesthesiology at Wake Forest School of Medicine as shown above. photo left: Raymond C.

Spielberg Scores
Minority Report (20th Century Fox). Reviews for this Spielberg-directed sci-fi thriller range from very good to excellent. (The plot, about a police officer who prevents crimes predicted by psychics until he is accused himself, is taken from a story by Philip K. Dick.) The most enthusiastic critic is the Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert, who calls the film "a triumph" and says it "reminds us why we go to the movies in the first place." Other reviewers have complaints; the Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan writes that the movie's attempt to combine a murder mystery, a blockbuster action movie, and a philosophical discussion of free will is not completely coherent; a few other critics complain about the too-convenient ending. All praise Spielberg's direction, the bleak-gray-future cinematography, and the performances of stars Tom Cruise and Samantha Morton. Several mention the movie's relevance to current discussions of how to balance terrorism prevention and civil liberties. Writes USA Today's Mike Clark: "It's as topical as movies get." (Read Slate's Dahlia Lithwick on how this story echoes the incarceration of Jose Padilla, and read David Edelstein's review of the film in Slate.)— B.M.L.
Lilo and Stitch (Disney). Mixed reviews for this new Disney animation about an alien who lands in Hawaii to become the compatriot of an angry little orphaned girl. The New York Times' A.O. Scott calls it a "sweet, charming tale of intergalactic friendship"; and the Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan praises the visuals and unconventional qualities of its "scruffy, unpleasant outcasts." But detractors have serious points to make. Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman brands the story "witless and oddly defanged," and calls Stitch (the alien) a "demonic koala bear crossed with Pikachu from Pokémon" who has "zero dimension as a character." Yet the chief criticism is even more damning: The movie "borrows a bit too heavily from Steven Spielberg's E.T." (Loren King, the Chicago Tribune). (Visit the Web site.)— A.B.
Juwanna Mann (Warner Bros.). Even the few critics who find this farce (about an expelled NBA star who dresses in drag to lead the WNBA) "amusing" also call it "sloppy" and "stunningly unoriginal" (A.O. Scott, the New York Times). "All the restroom jokes are exhausted early on" and "[e]verything else stems from derivative gags borrowed or recycled from a genre last explored in the terrible Sorority Boys" (Robert K. Elder, the Chicago Tribune). The only saving grace? The "comedic energy" of actor Tommy Davidson as a hip-hop playa named Puff Smokey Smoke (Scott). (Visit the Web site.)— A.B.
War Photographer (First Run/Icarus Films). Opinions on this Oscar-nominated documentary seem to pivot on whether or not critics appreciate the art and ethics of the film's subject, celebrated photojournalist James Nachtwey. Supporters claim that "[w]hat makes director Christian Frei's film so compelling is the immediacy of the footage" (Lou Lumenick, the New York Post). But the Village Voice's Jessica Winter disagrees and takes the point further: Nachtwey's "show-don't-tell stance is admirable, but it can make him a problematic documentary subject. War Photographer infers the psychological and physical toll of his peripatetic existence, but provides scant insight into his technique—one that often results in incongruously meticulous compositions of human degradation." (View Nachtwey's 9/11 photo essay.)— A.B.
Universal Truths and Cycles, by Guided By Voices (Matador). Raves for the prolific indie-rock stalwarts' latest, "an excellent album that shows off [band leader Robert Pollard's] songwriting skills" (Jennifer Maerz, the Washington Post). These favorite sons of Dayton, Ohio, return to Matador Records, their mid-'90s home, and make a concurrent return to the lo-fi self-production that defined their earlier work. "GBV are self-produced once again and simultaneously looser and sharper as a result" (Rob O'Connor, RollingStone.com). The band's MO is nicely laid out by Stewart Lee of the London Times: "Pollard writes punchy guitar-pop songs as perfect as the Who, the Sex Pistols and early REM, sings them like a chain-smoking choirboy, then disfigures them with as-live production values and titles that could be assembled from cut-up newspaper headlines." (Read a Slate "Culturebox" that praises Pollard's "sublimely intelligent, emotionally direct music." Buy.)— B.W.
Masquerade, by Wyclef Jean (Columbia). Underwhelmed reviews for the former Fugee's latest. Jean is best, critics say, when he "sticks closer to his reggae-infused R&B/hip-hop roots" (Steve Jones, USA Today) and does so often enough here to make the album "entertaining" (Robert Christgau, Rolling Stone). Unfortunately, he also "runs his mandate of eclecticism at all costs into the ground" (Jim Farber, New York Daily News) with too much world-music genre mixing and "crass, attention-seeking" (Josh Tyrangiel, Time) moves such as a "hideous" (Tyrangiel) update of Franki Valli's "December, 1963 (Oh What a Night)" and a guest appearance from Tom Jones that draws derision from almost everyone. (Watch Wyclef music videos on his official site. Buy.)— B.M.L.
Books Big If, by Mark Costello (Norton). "With his second novel, Costello enters the big leagues of American fiction," reads Jay McInerney's New York Times kicker. Other reviewers agree, praising this assassination meta-thriller about a Secret Service agent and her video-game programmer brother for: 1) its "oblique angles, giving richly detailed panoramas of a country whose surrealistic mysteries are spilling out of their marginal worlds and into the mainstream" (Tom Nolan, the Wall Street Journal); 2) its women, who are "at least as convincing and complicated as [its] men"; 3) a "virtuosic" mastery of "arcane" government and computer "lingo"; and 4) a narrative "spellbound by process" (McInerney) that "cannily wrings hilarity from dread" (Troy Patterson, Entertainment Weekly). (Listen to Costello read from Big If.)— A.B.
The Perfect Store: Inside eBay, by Adam Cohen (Little, Brown). Mediocre reviews for this chronicle of the rise of the Internet's best auction site (if not its best business) by a New York Times editorial writer. Joseph Nocera calls the prose "brisk" and "workmanlike" in his Times review, complimenting Cohen's "willingness to stray from the classic business narrative into the gnarlier issues of community and idealism" but deriding his refusal "to probe into places that eBay clearly didn't want probed." In fact, Cohen "seems to drop all skepticism with regards to [eBay founder Pierre Omidyar]" even if he blows the cover off Omidyar's famous yarn that he founded eBay to find Pez dispensers (J. Alex Tarquinio, the San Francisco Chronicle). (Read a chapter.)— A.B.
The Fasting Girl: A True Victorian Medical Mystery, by Michelle Stacey (Putnam). Gluttonously good notices for this book about Mollie Fancher, a 19th-century Brooklyn teen who, after being accidentally dragged by a trolley, took to her bed for the next 50 years, refrained from eating, experienced trances, clairvoyance, and multiple personalities, and became a tabloid wonder. Critics offer two main compliments: 1) "In Stacey's hands," Fancher "personified the late-19th-century collision between post-Darwinian science and Victorian spirituality" (Margot Mifflin, the Village Voice). And 2) Fancher receives "a compulsively readable" portrait, "intertwining topics as diverse as the media, anorexia, religion, feminism, and the nature of entertainment" (Gillian Flynn, Entertainment Weekly). (Learn more about Mollie Fancher.)— A.B.

Aside from on-track action that comes during your typical Goodwood Festival of Speed (FoS), it might be worth stopping by the world's most famous driveway to see Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi on the same piece of tarmac once again.
That's right, Lord March has invited both Rossi and Stoner to his mansion to ride a few bikes and to drive a few cars. Rossi will be participating on behalf of Yamaha Motor, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary of business; meanwhile Casey Stoner will ride a prototype Honda MotoGP bike, likely the Honda RC213V-S consumer halo bike.
The MotoGP rivals are part of a larger group of GP Champions who will be attending the FoS, the list including John Surtees, Giacomo Agostini, Kenny Roberts, and Freddie Spencer.

Demi's straight blonde hair and full fringe looks modern and chic. It's a big change from the singer's darker hues, but she's never afraid to try new styles!
This ballerina-like hairstyle looks great with Demi's new bangs. It's a simple and classic look that you can pull together in no time.
The '60s style looks so chic on Demi. Red lipstick complements the retro vibe of the hairstyle.
This soft and romantic hairstyle looks perfect with Demi's pale pink dress, earrings, and lip gloss. Her dark color is lightened slightly with bronze highlights.
This is one of the singer's go-to hairstyles. She looks great with waves and her red lipstick adds just enough of an edge to complete the casual, but cool look.
Demi's major ponytail at the Teen Choice Awards was a daring look, but she pulled it off flawlessly. The highlight of the hairstyle was the rock star-approved wrap holding everything in place.
This updo was the perfect way to style her then-dark reddish hue. It was dramatic, but the pieces hanging out of the hairstyle soften the look.
The cascading waves in this hairstyle are positively princess-like! By pulling some of her hair back, she keeps her long, thick hair from taking overwhelming the rest of her look.
The colorful streaks in her hair made for a unique ponytail style. The ends of her hair are pink, but there's also a pink strand wrapped around hair elastic keeping the look together.
Boho chic would describe this accessorized hairstyle. She added feathers and beads to one section and topped the look off with a black hat.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women's basketball team will host Mars Hill University on Saturday (Feb. 8), in a South Atlantic Conference competition. A live video webcast will be available at www.cokercobras.com.
In the first meeting between the Cobras and Lions, Mars Hills narrowly escaped Coker with a 57-54 win. Hailey Yohn and Jessica Cohen led the way for the Navy and Yellow in that competition with 18 and 16 points, respectively.
Saturday will be a pivotal game for Coker, as they are currently in a three-way tie for fourth place in the SAC standings. The Cobras will be leaning on the offensive production of Tanesha Stenson, Yohn, and Cohen. The junior guard duo of Stenson and Yohn lead the team in scoring with 14.7 and 9.9 points per game respectively, while Cohen is responsible for 9.7. Priscilla Fenty and Kelley Godbout have proven to be key contributors as well with 9.1 and 8.0 points per game.
Mars Hill is entering the stanza on a four game losing streak, with their most recent coming in an 86-74 loss at Brevard. The Lions are headed by Ansley Ricker, who leads the team and is third in the conference with 17.7 points per game. Kelsey Espinosa also averages double-digit scoring for Mars-Hill with 11.0 points per game.
Tip-off will begin at 2:00 p.m., followed by the men's game at 4:00. Tickets for the game can be purchased at the door for $5 dollars for adults, $3 dollars for students, and are free to all Coker students, faculty, and staff. Saturday's game is also Play 4Kay day. Donations will be collected during the game to raise funds for breast cancer research.

Sony removes PS3 Linux support from customers who have paid for it
So, even if you haven't heard the latest news regarding Sony and the PlayStation 3 (additional discussion on Slashdot), it will come as no surprise that they're up to their anti-consumer practices once again. According to a blog entry on the official Sony web site, they have released a new firmware version (3.21) today (which, coincidentally, is April Fool's Day; however in their post which was written on March 27th they insist that it is not a joke). This new "update" removes the 'Other OS' feature that is present on older PS3s (any model released prior to the 'Slim PS3'). This feature is the one that allows you to run Linux on your console and use it as a computer as well as a game console.
I turned my console on this morning and, sure enough, I cannot sign onto PSN (which means no online games, store, trials, etc.) Clicking through to the upgrade page and its associated legal agreement makes no mention of the feature removal at all. Sony is hoping that everyone who uses a PS3 will simply assume it's a routine update that includes new features and will simply install it without thinking, thus permanently crippling their system. I declined the user agreement and refused to install the update; so I can still use Linux but can no longer access any online PSN features.
Sony cites "security concerns" for removing the feature, but a short analysis of the issue makes it clear that they're protecting their own interests, rather than the customer's interests as they imply in their announcement. At issue is the Geohot exploit (which only allows access to the hypervisor which is a layer above the operating system, it does not allow any games to be pirated). Sony believes that allowing continued access to the Linux operating system on the PS3 will allow for piracy of their games. Rather than deal with the issue, they've decided to simply remove the Linux feature from everyone's PS3. As usual, Sony is treating their paying customers as criminals. That approach usually does not result in increased sales, as many customers will first begin stealing their content after they've been negatively affected by such moves after paying for legitimate content.
Sony is hoping that nobody will care about this change, as very few people utilize this function of their consoles. I have experimented with Linux installation on the PS3, and while it does have some limitations, there are a lot of possibilities for the system. The PS3 possesses a powerful Cell processor and can be used for many interesting computational tasks. There have been many stories in the news recently regarding various agencies that are using the consoles for just that. (The U.S. Air Force is a prime example, others are listed here.) Sony even promised that the feature would not be going away.
The problem with this whole affair is that Sony is removing a core feature from a product that customers have already paid for. The feature is clearly advertised, both at the time of purchase and on Sony's website itself (They added the part about the feature no longer being available this morning.) Should a company be allowed to remove a core function of a product without compensating paying customers for its loss? I think not.
Sony maintains that you can simply not install the update, and will then be able to retain the 'Other OS' feature. This is untrue; however; since if you refuse to update you will no longer be permitted to connect to the PSN (PlayStation Network), which means no online games or access to the PlayStation Store. Some new games will refuse to run at all without first installing the update. Therefore, the update is mandatory, not optional, and you're forced to lose either the 'Other OS' feature or the ability to use the console for its other primary purpose.
It seems that Sony (of rootkit fame) is now planning to follow in Amazon.com's footsteps of removing a digital item that the customer has already paid for from their possession. At least Amazon refunded people's money when they took back 1984 and ultimately made good and apologized and returned the digital book to the customers. I fear Sony will simply continue to ignore their customers and proceed with this and similar changes.
I encourage you to file complaints with the FTC, BBB, and your state's attorney general's office regarding this matter if it affects you. I would not be surprised if a class action suit appears; although that would have minimal benefit to consumers.
In the meantime, do not install the firmware update. There may be other methods around the problem soon.

Finally. After aeons of speculation and rumours, the new Apple iPad (yes, that's its official name) has been revealed to the world in all its shiny glory. It's been one hell of a ride, but now we know the facts you can sit back, relax, and join us in lapping up all of the delicious facts about the Apple's latest addition to its iFamily, the new Apple iPad..
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) - overview
Apple's iPad 3 might still be packing a 9.7in screen, but its whopping 2048x1536 resolution makes it an industry-leading super-sharp retina display. While the body remains roughly the same as its predecessor, it's host to a souped-up A5X dual-core processor (which apparently packs in four times the graphical grunt of Nvidia's Tegra 3 processor), and an upgraded 5MP camera with full HD video recording. Read on for the full lowdown on the new Apple iPad 3...
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – screen
The new iPad has Apple's biggest retina display yet, whose 2048x1536 resolution packs in so many pixels that you won't be able to distinguish between them with the naked eye, just like the iPhone 4S' display. That's a total of 3.1 million pixels at 264ppi, with a 44 per cent increase in colour saturation. The end result is an astounding screen that squeezes in more pixels than the projector that it was shown off on. Mighty impressive stuff, we think you'll agree.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – processor
The new Apple iPad will be powered by a dual-core A5X processor, but don't let that put you off – it also features quad-core powered graphics, supposedly four times faster than Nvidia's Tegra 3 offering, which Apple claims will wipe the floor with the latest games including the newly announced Infinity Blade: Dungeons. Time will tell how the new iPad will match up against its Tegra 3 quad-core toting Android rivals, but it's a battle that we can't wait to witness first hand in our reviews. Watch this space.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – camera
The new iPad will be toting a 5MP camera (sans flash), as opposed to the 8MP snapper that was on the cards, although an big improvement in performance over the iPad 2's paltry camera is still expected thanks to auto-exposure, noise reduction and image stabilisation tech. Full 1080p video recording is another upgrade and both video and photos should look spectacular on that drool-inducing retina display.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – design and build
The new iPad doesn't stray too far from the iPad 2 in the looks department but it does measure in at 9.4mm, slightly thicker than the iPad 2's svelte 8.8mm body. The home button, volume and power buttons still remain, as does Apple's proprietary 30-pin dock connector, which, to be honest, was always a given.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – 4G and 3G
The new iPad will be hitting US shelves with 4G capability, while UK Appleites will still be stuck rocking 3G speeds. Boo, hiss. A Wi-Fi only model will of course still be available for those of you who don't fancy forking out for an extra monthly data plan.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – iOS 5.1
Siri makes a cameo appearance in the new iPad, with voice dictation cooked straight in to the iOS keyboard, activated by a new microphone key. Apple has also introduced updates for iPhoto, iWork, iMovie and GarageBand. iPhoto's bezel gestures, photo beaming and multi-touch editing look particularly tasty.
Apple iPad 3 – battery
The new Apple iPad will serve up the same 10 hour battery life as its iPad 2 predecessor, with 9 hours of use reported with 4G turned on. Not too shabby, considering the extra processing power and pixel-cramming retina display on offer.
Apple iPad 3 – price and release date
The new Apple iPad will be available from March 16th in black or white, and prices will start at £400 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model. £480 for the 32GB Wi-Fi model and £560 for the 64GB Wi-Fi model. We assume that UK prices for the 4G models are actually for the 3G models, given that the UK won't be getting a 4G model. Prices for the 3G models are £500, £580 and £660 for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models respectively.
The original iPad 2 will continue to be sold alongside the new iPad and has had its price slashed down to just £330 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model.
New Apple iPad (iPad 3) – first impressions
It may not have an actual name, but the new Apple iPad packs in plenty of improvements to get excited about. From the glorious retina display and powerful A5X processor with quad-core graphics, to the improved camera and same great battery life, the new Apple iPad offers a very compelling package for new tablet owners. As more and more apps begin to cater to the new iPad's insane screen resolution, it will also look like a very tempting upgrade for existing iPad 2 owners too. Stay tuned for our hands on review and more new iPad news as we get it.

For Patients at High Risk
Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect, especially in its early stages. Routine pelvic exams detect only 1 in 10,000 ovarian cancers in asymptomatic patients. Thus, identifying women who are at an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer is the first line of defense in stopping this disease before it progresses.
While there are a handful of risk factors associated with ovarian cancer (age, menopausal hormone therapy, never being pregnant, personal history of other cancers), family history is the only factor known to be associated with a significant increase in ovarian cancer.
High Risk Ovarian Cancer Clinic
Cancer Screening
Screening tests detect cancer's hidden warning signs long before symptoms appear and when the disease is most treatable. Understand your screening needs and complete the cancer screening and prevention questionnaire to manage your cancer risk.
Women who are above-average risk will be part of our High Risk Ovarian Cancer Clinic. Patients receive a comprehensive ovarian cancer risk assessment and genetic counseling; learn about risk reduction strategies and clinical research studies available; and are screened regularly with the most advanced diagnostics available to ensure there are no signs of developing disease.
You may be above-average risk of developing ovarian cancer if you have a:
- personal history of breast cancer before the age of 45
- male relative with breast cancer
- personal or family history of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer in a first or second degree relative (mother, sister, grandmother)
- personal or family history of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch II) in a first or second degree relative
- personal or family history of a BRCA mutation
We follow NCCN recommended guidelines for screening these high-risk patients. This includes transvaginal ultrasound and serum CA-125 measurement every six months for women with a genetic predisposition for developing ovarian cancer. CA-125 is a substance found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells and on some normal tissues. A high CA-125 level could be a sign of cancer or other conditions.
For women at average risk for developing ovarian cancer (those without a familial link or personal history), screening is not recommended.
A Life-Saving Registry
Under the direction of Shashikant Lele, MD, Clinical Chief of Gynecologic Oncology at Roswell Park, the Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry began at Roswell Park more than 30 years ago in an effort to teach us more about familial ovarian cancer. This national computer tracking system stores data compiled from women nationwide who have a family history of ovarian cancer. With this information, researchers hope to identify new genes associated with ovarian cancer in order to improve genetic and psychosocial counseling for these patients and also evaluate lifestyle choices that may reduce ovarian cancer risk among this population.
Women over the age of 18 with a family history of ovarian cancer are encouraged to join the Registry. For more information, call 1-800-OVARIAN (1-800-682-7426) weekdays from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST.
Genetic Counseling & Testing
Roswell Park offers genetic counseling by health care professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. During a genetic counseling consultation, information and support is provided to individuals who have a personal or family history of cancer and who may be at risk for an inherited condition like ovarian cancer.
If genetic testing is recommended, blood tests will be performed to identify the presence of particular genes. Many cases of inherited breast and ovarian cancer involve alterations in two genes, designated BRCA1 and BRCA2 (for breast cancer 1 and breast cancer 2). These tests may confirm a specific gene change (mutation) as the likely cause of a diagnosed cancer and possibly modify medical management. All results are kept confidential and reviewed with the individual by a member of the Clinical Genetics Service.

text: Under-recognized in 20th-century American art history, Salvatore Meo was an influential pioneer of assemblage art during the mid-20th century, whose mixed-media works—largely composed of discarded items found on the street—were a forerunner to the Arte Povera movement. The scraps and cast-offs Meo used in his work included items such as the grubby head of a doll, a shoe heel, string, and rusted wire, which acted as lyrical evocations of decay and abandonment. Meo's sense of alienation and dispossession also contrasted starkly with the more glamorous work of his Pop Art contemporaries, suggesting themes of destruction and reconstruction following World War II. Meo is considered to have been an influence on Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly, among many others, and his work has been compared to artists such as Jannis Kounellis and David Hammons.

5 Essential Things to Consider Before Starting a Business
At age 16, I started my first business. I was among the throngs of a community that gathered on muggy summer nights to cheer on the home team at our high school football games. Cheering means one thing: yelling. And yelling means that people will have tired, sore, dry throats.
For the penny pinchers unwilling to spend concession-stand prices for their carbonated relief, the school had conveniently provided a pop machine in the stadium that would deliver an ice-cold can of heaven for 50 cents.
This pop machine had a special quirk that endeared it to my young entrepreneurial spirit: it stubbornly required exact change. A lot has changed since 1998, but one thing hasn't: nobody carries exact change. I set up shop beside the glowing, humming machine and offered people exactl

To most gardeners, lawn mowers are noisy but necessary. But now there's an alternative: EcoBug, a new lawn mower from Ariens, while not as quiet as an electric, is much quieter than a typical gasoline-powered mower.
This mower is ideal for small to medium-sized lawns in suburban areas, or wherever noise restrictions apply. It's quieter than most mowers because the entire engine is covered with a dense, polymer-composite plastic, which muffles engine noise. The cover also means the engine is less prone to trapping dust and dirt, and so is less dirty to work with.
EcoBug is available as a self-propelled, walk-behind model (LM18S; $400) with a 4-horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. Cutting width is 18 inches, and a single-lever height adjustment allows mowing between 1-1/4 and 3-1/2 inches high. Use the EcoBug either as a mulching mower (return clippings to the lawn), or as a conventional model (collect clippings in the 2-cubic-foot, center-rear bagger).
The mower's light weight and convenient, foldable handles make it easy to use and store, but the reduced noise is its major benefit. EcoBug is available from Ariens dealers: (800) 678-5443, www.ariens.com.

As one of the most prominent figures in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters, Church captured the phenomena of his natural surroundings, such as waterfalls, rainbows, sunsets, and volcanoes, in massive dimensions with astounding verisimilitude. During early study under landscape painter Thomas Cole, Church developed his eye by joining Cole in sketching the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains. Upon establishing his own studio in New York, Church traveled extensively; inspired by the writings of Prussian explorer Alexander Von Humboldt, he traversed South America, and later traveled to the North Atlantic to sketch icebergs, Jamaica to capture the tropics, and Palestine to retrace Jesus's footsteps.

Photos: America's first subway
Photos: America's first subway
Boston broke ground on its subway in 1895, with workers digging the trench in sections. Horse-drawn carts carried away the dirt and rocks.
The city managed to keep its busiest thoroughfares open to traffic. Rather than eliminate street-level rail service, engineers took the extraordinary step of designing a detour of the tracks.
On March 4, 1897, the sparks from an above-ground streetcar and an undetected gas leak combined to create a horrific explosion. Ten people were killed.
To raise the grade of the Public Garden and the Common to accommodate the subway, an estimated 9,000 cubic yards of fill were needed for the former and 62,000 cubic yards for the latter.
It was bright enough to read underground. The air was clean enough to take in one long deep breath and not notice any difference from aboveground.
Streets became so overcrowded in Boston, and in New York, in the 1890s that subways were seen as the last, desperate act of relief for pedestrians and street trolleys.
During subway construction in Boston, it was vital to businesses that trolleys still run, so people could still shop downtown.
At the Park Street station, when the subway opened in 1897, the city bubbled with excitement.

"This is the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard in my entire life," said T-Mobile's new CEO John Legere when talking about traditional wireless contracts and subsidized smartphones. "Do you have any idea how much you are paying? Everybody hates the high cost and crazy complexity of rate plans, and I hope I've been clear to you that this is on purpose. Rate plans are painful, so we have radically simplified them."
A ton has already been said about T-Mobile's new Simple Choice plans, some of it confusing and misleading, but there is only one thing that you need to understand about yesterday's announcements — T-Mobile is separating the mobile device cost from the service plan.
This is a big effin deal because most carriers punish you for bringing your own device. For example, AT&T will allow customers to use an unlocked phone such as the Nexus 4 on their network, but they are still forced to pay the inflated rate plans that are meant to subsidize the high cost of devices.
"Customers don't need another AT&T. Customers need carriers to stop acting like AT&T. If you come to T-Mobile you have signed your last contract. You're done. They're dead," said Legere at T-Mobile's event.
Some news outlets are arguing that mobile devices are still very expensive, so you won't save much money in the long run with a no-contract plan. And they might be right if you are looking at the unlocked iPhone 5 at $659, but smartphone prices are falling at a rapid pace.
Google already sells the LG Nexus 4 for $299 without a contract. This summer we could see Motorola sell an unlocked phone for $199, and NVIDIA could help push the starting price of an unlocked "superphone" all the way down to $99 by the end of the year.
We haven't seen any unlocked phones that will operate on multiple LTE networks in the US, but that is about to change. Apple's latest iPhone 5 revision (model A1428) will support LTE on both AT&T and T-Mobile. Future unlocked Android devices (like the rumored Nexus 5 and X Phone) should also support LTE across multiple US networks.
T-Mobile's new Simple Choice plans might not seem that revolutionary today, but wait till Google and their partners releases the next great unlocked Android phone with 4G LTE.
In addition to lower prices for devices and services, customers will have the freedom to switch networks at will. This should help speed up innovation as carriers are forced to start competing for our business. "If we suck this month, drop us," said Legere. "But if we're good, stay with us."
A few years from now, we will look back at March 26th, 2013, as the day that T-Mobile killed wireless contracts. The old model of two-year contracts and high device subsidies is dead, and the market giants like AT&T and Verizon will be forced into changing or risk losing customers.
And anything that keeps the big guys on their toes is a good thing. Am I right?

Sony took the stage at E3 tonight and while they mostly stuck to all things PS3 (seriously, more Move content?), they did manage to slip in a little bit of Android news.
The PlayStation Suite was first announced in January of last year and aimed to bring PlayStation level gaming to additional manufacturers.
The SDK for the PlayStation Suite was just released in April, and Sony hopes that developers will use it to deliver original quality content for PlayStation Certified devices. They claim that response to it has been "nothing short of phenomenal"; we'll see what that amounts to in terms of available titles soon enough.
Sony announced that the PlayStation Suite program is being renamed PlayStation Mobile in order to better reflect the mobility of PlayStation and that HTC is going to be the first non-Sony partner to bring the PlayStation experience to their hardware. This was rumored back in February to come at Mobile World Congress, but apparently Sony saw fit to hold off on it until now.
What exactly the partnership means isn't clear; the example hardware used in their slides was the HTC One X, but no timeline for PlayStation Mobile to roll out on HTC handsets was given.
Sony promised that they will have many more PlayStation Certified phones this year, so we should hear plenty more about this going forward. Hopefully other manufacturers are coming on board, as well.
Despite a fair amount of hype leading up to its announcement, the PlayStation phone and subsequent PlayStation Suite efforts have not exactly lived up to the expectations of fans. I used an Xperia Play for a couple weeks and was completely underwhelmed by the hardware and the games that were available at that time. With that said, I hope Sony has taken the early criticism to heart. It's encouraging to hear that other manufacturers are signing on to the program.
Do you think Sony can turn the newly christened PlayStation Mobile program around and leverage it to deliver compelling content for Android?
Update: Sony sent out a brief press release after this posted. The only new information is that the HTC devices that are initially joining the list of PlayStation Certified devices are the "HTC One series of smartphones, HTC One X, HTC One S, and HTC One V."Show Press Release
Sony Computer Entertainment Announces HTC As Part Of The PlayStationâ"¢Certified License Program
Further Proliferate The PlayStation® Experience Across Mobile Devices
TOKYO, June 4, 2012
TOKYO, June 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced HTC Corporation (HTC) will join the PlayStationâ"¢Certified license program(*1). By collaborating with HTC, a global designer of smartphones and the world's first company to launch Android-powered devices, SCE aims to deliver the PlayStation® experience to even more users around the world.
"HTC is focused on delivering innovative mobile experiences for people everywhere and SCE's immersive world of gaming will bring compelling entertainment to HTC One customers across the globe," said Kouji Kodera, Chief Product Officer, HTC Corporation.
In addition to third party developers and publishers as well as a wide range of content developers who have agreed to develop content for PlayStation®Suite, SCE Worldwide Studios is developing attractive games. SCE is positioned to proliferate the world of PlayStation across mobile devices with the progress of content development and the expansion of PlayStation Certified devices. In conjunction with this development, SCE will rename PlayStation Suite to PlayStation®Mobile, and position it as a new platform.
SCE will further accelerate the expansion of PlayStation Certified devices and continue to collaborate with content developers to drive the delivery of compelling entertainment experiences through PlayStation Mobile.

Fur balls occur when cats clean themselves, ingesting their own fur. While these are common, be sure to brush your cat's coat on a regular basis so that this doesn't lead to serious, and even fatal, problems.
Before the economy went south last fall, 29-year-old teacher Bethany Clay took her long-haired cat, Charlie, to the groomer every six weeks. "He always looked so nice after his $45 bath with a comb," says Clay. However, when she became worried about her job security, Clay began to eliminate extras from her budget. "I'm trying to save more these days, so I brought a comb that my groomer recommended, and I've been brushing Charlie out every week at home."
Professional groomers may offer convenience, expertise and a more finished look, but your cat can also benefit from what you can provide at home. Debbie Felder, owner of the Granada Hills, Calif.-based Bowser's Natural Pet Grooming and a product tester for grooming product company Bamboo Pet, offers tips on home care for your furry friend's coat, skin, nails and teeth.
BrushingBrushing your feline keeps its coat shiny, stimulates circulation, gets rid of loose hair and keeping mats at bay. While shorthaired cats can be brushed approximately every 14 days, longhaired cats need more regular sessions, at least once a week.
"Cats have thin skin, so comb gently," says Felder. "Make sure to check for mats, especially around the ears, where the oil deposited by human hands can lead to trouble." Mats should be lightly combed out with a steel cat comb.
WashingWhile cats clean themselves, even the most dedicated self-licker may need a bath to treat a skin condition, kill fleas or just deal with a big kitty mess. Felder recommends bathing your cat after brushing. She also suggests using a massaging showerhead while your pet is in a wire cage. "If you don't have a cage, hold your cat by the back of the neck or ask a friend to help restrain the cat while you bathe it. Talk to it soothingly to keep it calm."
Lay out your supplies in advance to streamline the process. These should include a showerhead or pitcher, shampoo and a towel for drying, since most cats will not tolerate a blow dryer. "Cats are very sensitive to chemicals, so use a shampoo specifically formulated for cats and rinse it out thoroughly. I don't recommend conditioners: They leave the animal too greasy," says Felder.
PedicuringRegular human nail clippers work just fine on a cat, but Felder also recommends using a Dremel -- an electric, rotating stone that you can buy at any hardware store. "Have somebody hold your cat while you push on the paw to get the nail to extend," advises Felder. Clip or file only the sharp tip, staying within the clear portion of the nail.
Teeth Cleaning"You can brush your cat's teeth, and it's easy because they don't have a lot of them!" says Felder. Still, your pet must be prepared for the process. Allow the cat to become used to your finger in its mouth over a few days. Start by flavoring your finger with tuna water and letting your kitty lick you before rubbing your flavored finger over its teeth and gums.
Next time, place a tuna-soaked piece of gauze over your finger, and rub the animal's gums and teeth. Finally, introduce the toothbrush in the same way you did your finger, dipping it in something appetizing and letting your cat lick it. Flavored toothpastes will help keep the process tasty.

Simran says: I'm actually about to go in to do the same thing. Honestly I belveie that the Pet Grooming class will be great to figure out the basics of the whole Pet Grooming area. One thing though is don't just go out and try to find a job with the certificate right after you graduate Bill is right about they won't take you seriously without hands on experience but the class itself is not a waste. What you should do first is make sure that you, family, friends, or even neighbors have pets that they would be willing to let you do some of the hand-on stuff after you get your certificate or even while you are working on it. That way when you have graduated and have taken some time with the hands-on and got it down pretty well you can use friends or neighbors that you worked on their animals for hands on experience as references to a job.

kailey says: i love cats there so cute I have 2 of them named Rodger and otter I Iove them sometimes But sometimes they get on my nerves but there cute and that's all that matters so bye!!
Roberto says: I have 4 cats, they have been eating Alley Cat dry cat food. I tried lokniog on the internet for which cat foods are safe, but it's so confusing. Does anyone know if Alley Cat is safe, or not?

Sex.com domain sold for $13 million
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Internet
In perhaps the only instance in America where it is okay to sell sex for money, Clover Holdings Ltd successfully bid on the Sex.com domain name up for sale by its owners Escom LLC.
Escom was forced to sell the incredibly valuable domain name after filing for bankruptcy. In May, Escom hired Sedo.com to help find buyers for the domain name which they bought for $14 million back in 2006.
The deal has not yet been accepted by the bankruptcy court, but we suspect that it will soon be finalized. Whatever Clover Holdings Ltd plans to do with the domain name is not known, but whatever it is, we're sure it will be sexy.
