Watch Will.I.Am and Jamie Foxx Perform a Completely Autotuned Track on American Idol
It's a show about singing talent, where none of the guest performers can actually sing. It's like they're trying to crush the contestants' dreams by showing them the harsh reality of the state of the music industry. Or something.

Differences Between an ND and an NMD
ND and NMD
"ND" stands for "naturopathic doctor" while "NMD" stands for "naturopathic medical doctor." ND and NMD are interchangeable terms. In general, ND and NMD are simply referring to naturopathic physicians. What do naturopathic physicians do? How are they different from the usual physicians we know?
A naturophatic doctor (ND) or a naturopathic medical doctor (NMD) is a doctor who helps his patient to prevent illnesses by greatly focusing on the patient's natural ability to heal. In other words, a naturopathic doctor mostly treats a patient using natural methods or alternative medicines.
Since more and more people are looking for natural alternative ways to improve their health, more and more health practitioners are also taking up ND or NMD degrees. Oftentimes, you can see the "MD" initials after a doctor's name. We all know that if a person has an "MD "initial right after his name, he is a doctor. However, these days, we are also noticing that some doctors have ND initials. We often think that it is only a typographical error since we are already accustomed to "MD." But the ND really exists, and it stands for "naturophatic doctor."
The ND or NMD makes his treatment more effective through combining modern science and the power of nature. The ND uses a holistic approach when treating his patient. He applies the traditional healing methods and makes them more effective through applying the different principles and practices. Usually, the naturopathic doctors practice their profession in the United States and Canada. You will often see an ND or NMD working in hospitals, clinics, and health centers.
Before an ND or NMD is able to practice his/her profession, he undergoes intensive training first. All health practitioners, not only doctors, undergo rigorous training since their profession involves the lives of several people. Before you can apply for an ND or NMD program, you need to finish a four-year degree first. After graduating from a four year course, you can try applying for the ND or NMD program. You will study for another four, long years before you can become an ND or NMD just like what MDs do.
According to naturopathyworks.com, in a naturopathic medical institution, the ND or NMD student will learn several basic medical sciences which include: anatomy and physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, histology, pharmacology, pathology, immunology, neuroscience, and genetics. Aside from that, ND or NMD students will also study clinical sciences which include: dermatology, oncology, endocrinology, rheumatology, gerontology, obstetrics, gynecology, pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and urology.
Based again on naturopathyworks.com, since naturopathic doctors are often tied to natural treatments, they also study about naturopathic therapies such as botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, environmental medicine and physical medicine. After finishing the ND or NMD program, the ND or NMD students can now take a licensure exam to be able to practice their profession in clinical settings.
ND or NMD physicians are also required to have their continuing education. With continuing education, they can be updated with the new and more recommended trends of healing patients.
- "ND" stands for "naturopathic doctor" while "NMD" stands for "naturopathic" medical doctor.
- ND and NMD are interchangeable terms. ND and NMD are only referring to one person, and that is a naturopathic physician.
- A naturopathic doctor mostly treats a patient using natural methods or alternative medicines.
- A naturopathic doctor also combines the alternative healing methods with modern science in order to produce a more agreeable effect for the patient.
- Before an ND or NMD is able to practice his profession, he needs to pass the licensure exam first.

"Before an ND or NMD is able to practice his profession, he needs to pass the licensure exam first."
This is written under the pretense that only men are pursuing this profession. You should probably edit this.

Tabard(Redirected from Tabards)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A tabard is a short coat common for men during the Middle Ages. Generally used while outdoors, the coat was either sleeveless or had short sleeves or shoulder pieces. In its more developed form it was open at the sides, and it could be worn with or without a belt. Though most were ordinary garments, often workclothes, tabards might be emblazoned on the front and back with a coat of arms (livery), and in this form they survive as the distinctive garment of officers of arms.
In modern British usage, the term has been revived for what is known in American English as a cobbler apron: a lightweight open-sided upper overgarment, of similar design to its medieval and heraldic counterpart, worn in particular by workers in the catering, cleaning and healthcare industries as protective clothing, or outdoors by those requiring high-visibility clothing.
Middle AgesEdit
A tabard (from the French tabarde) was originally a humble outer garment of tunic form, generally without sleeves, worn by peasants, monks and foot-soldiers. In this sense, the earliest citation recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary dates from c.1300.[1]
By the second half of the 15th century, tabards, now open at the sides and so usually belted, were also being worn by knights in military contexts over their armour, and were usually emblazoned with their arms (though sometimes worn plain). The Oxford English Dictionary first records this use of the word in English in 1450.[1] Tabards were apparently distinguished from surcoats by being open-sided, and by being shorter.[citation needed] In its later form, a tabard normally comprised four textile panels – two large panels hanging down the wearer's front and back, and two smaller panels hanging over his arms as "sleeves" – each emblazoned with the same coat of arms. Tabards became an important means of battlefield identification with the development of plate armour as the use of shields declined. They are frequently represented on tomb effigies and monumental brasses of the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
A very expensive, but plain, garment described as a tabard is worn by Giovanni Arnolfini in the Arnolfini Portrait of 1434 (National Gallery, London). This may be made of silk and or velvet, and is trimmed and fully lined with fur, possibly sable.[2]
At The Queen's College, Oxford, the scholars on the foundation were called tabarders, from the tabard (not in this case an emblazoned garment) which they wore.[3]
A surviving garment similar to the medieval tabard is the monastic scapular. This is a wide strip of fabric worn front back of the body, with an opening for the head and no sleeves. It may have a hood, and may be worn under or over a belt.
British heraldryEdit
By the end of the 16th century, the tabard was particularly associated with officers of arms. John Stow wrote in 1598: "Now these Tabardes are onely worne by the Heraults, and bee called their coates of Armes in service."[1]
In the case of Royal officers of arms, the tabard is emblazoned with the coat of arms of the sovereign. Private officers of arms, such as still exist in Scotland, making use of tabards emblazoned with the coat of arms of the person who employs them. In the United Kingdom the different ranks of officers of arms can be distinguished by the fabric from which their tabards are made. The tabard of a king of arms is made of velvet, the tabard of a herald of arms of satin, and that of a pursuivant of arms of damask silk.[4] The oldest surviving English herald's tabard is that of Sir William Dugdale as Garter King of Arms (1677–1686).[5]
It was at one time the custom for pursuivants to wear their tabards "athwart", that is to say with the smaller ("sleeve") panels at the front and back, and the larger panels at the side; but this practice was ended during the reign of James II and VII.[4][6]
Canadian heraldryEdit
In the Diamond Jubilee year of the Queen of Canada, the Governor General unveiled a new tabard for the use of the Chief Herald of Canada. This new royal blue tabard, for exclusively Canadian use and of uniquely Canadian design, is a modern take on the traditional look. The tabard differs from others of more traditional design in that the Canadian royal arms appear on the sleeves, while the front and back of the tabard are covered with Native Canadian-inspired emblematic representations of the raven-polar bears of the Canadian Heraldic Authority's coat of arms.

A policy of hoping for the best and preparing for nothing seems to be the modus operandi now for many western governments with regard to the ongoing crisis in Syria. At a time when credible security reports proliferate regarding the potential use of chemical weapons by the regime, this is nothing short of a recipe for disaster, in a region that may not be able to handle a new one.
Sunday December 9, 2012
Today's Death Toll: 116, including 4 women and 10 children: 41 in Damascus and suburbs, 32
in Aleppo (including 20 burned near the Air Force Intelligence branch), 22 in Idlib (including 7 members of a single family), 8 in Homs, 8 in Daraa, and 5 in Deir Ezzor. Points of Random Shelling: 257. Clashes: 97. The most significant clashes took place in Damascus and suburbs. Rebels struck
Port Said checkpoint in Qadam and a defense factory in Sayeda Zainab. In Hama, they struck the northern checkpoint at Shayzar Palace. In Aleppo, rebels stormed the 111th Brigade (LCC).
Special Reports
It's not about them; it's about us — and the influence we'll have when they win.
Mohammad Jumbaz and Ayat Al-Qassab got married in Syria despite the violence around them.
Sky's Tim Marshall gains rare access to a prison where he finds evidence that international jihadists are operating in Syria.
… the passions unleashed by what is happening next door are proving harder and harder for Lebanon to contain, adding to concerns that it, too, could become enmeshed in the bloodshed.
The outskirts of Damascus have become a battleground, with some of the fiercest fighting the city has seen yet. Syrian rebels say they're closing in on the capital, street by street.
… the rumble of distant artillery echoes through the city, and its residents are afraid to leave their neighborhoods. Cocooned behind rows of concrete blocks that close off routes to the center, they huddle in fear of a prolonged battle that could bring destruction and division to a place where secular and religious Syrians from many sects — Sunni, Shiite, Alawite, Christian and others — have long lived peacefully.
The fully-enclosed vehicle made from light steel is about four meters in length and two meters across, mounted with a 7.62 mm machine gun controlled from inside the cabin. The vehicle has five cameras: three at the front, one in the back and another attached to the gun. The crew inside the cabin are fully protected, with the driver maneuvering the vehicle by watching a screen which displays video from the cameras.
The most likely option, however, and one that appears already to be under way, is for the regime and the core of the army and security forces to retreat to the Alawite-populated mountains on the Mediterranean coast. Diplomatic sources say that there are unconfirmed reports that the regime is planning to register all Sunnis who live in the coastal cities of Tartous, Banias, and Latakia which could potentially form part of an Alawite-dominated enclave. The coastal cities are predominantly Sunni-populated while the mountain hinterland is mainly Alawite.
Money flows to the group, the Nusra Front, from like-minded donors abroad. Its fighters, a small minority of the rebels, have the boldness and skill to storm fortified positions and lead other battalions to capture military bases and oil fields. As their successes mount, they gather more weapons and attract more fighters. The group is a direct offshoot of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Iraqi officials and former Iraqi insurgents say, which has contributed veteran fighters and weapons.
Assad's security and intelligence chiefs believe the rebels' convergence on the capital provides a unique "opportunity to exterminate them," the source said. The Iraqi Sadrist leader said the Syrian regime's political military and security factions have become more desperate as rebel forces converge on Damascus, and therefore the regime won't hesitate to use "any weapon" against the opposition, Al-Seyassah reported.
Better to hold out in an enclave, the minority ruling sect will conclude, than risk annihilation at the hands of vengeful Sunnis. Better to be a spoiler in an anarchic Syria, figures Shiite Iran, than to see a strategic ally flip over to the opposing Sunni bloc. If Syria's war takes this most likely of courses, how will the United States and its allies protect their interests? Officials seem to have no plan, other than to hope that the scenarios they are thinking about won't happen.
Newsweek experts weigh in on what the U.S. must do to stop the bloodshed.
… the de-throning of Assad doesn't necessarily spell the end of the battle, but it will mark the start of a long weary road to weed out corruption. In a future Syria, the presence of mutual interests between those who fancy themselves as opposition leaders and regime remnants will threaten our dream of truly attaining democracy and equality.
Syria Deeply
This clip circulating making the round on the internet is troubling indeed, for it seems to come as part of ongoing preparations by the regime for covering up a potential recourse to chemical weapons.
The clip shows an alleged Jihadi scientist mixing up chemicals to create toxic fumes that kill two laboratory rabbits. The Jihadist, then, threatened to do the same to the Nusairis, the Jihadi derogatory name for Alawites http://youtu.be/WNYSD6wNz3k
While western governments and foreign reporters may not buy the lie, the main audience here is, as always, the regime's supporters who needs these crimes to be committed without having to feel guilty, and what better way for them than to believe that the crimes have actually been perpetrated by the enemies themselves as part of the ongoing conspiracy? This is what's been happening all along in fact. Most massacres have been blamed by regime supporters on Jihadi infiltrators, and occasionally, some members of the western media has been taken in by that, as we have seen in the case of the Houla Massacre.
This video might also be aimed at Russians who could use it. FM Lavrov's recent statements on this matter might signal a willingness to blame the militants:
"According to our information, and this information we pass to our US colleagues, and European colleagues, [the Syrian] government does not have such intentions and cannot have, because this is all very serious… True danger from Syrian chemical weapons is if militants acquire them."
And so the Great Game continues.

Attempts to isolate Al-Nusra will be portrayed as part of the ongoing war on Islam. At this stage in the conflict, this message will resonate among certain segments of the population on the home front, as well as among expatriate and refugee communities.

Jack Welch Schools SHU's Welch College of Business Faculty and Students
Jack Welch, the former Chairman and CEO of the General Electric Company, spent this afternoon at Sacred Heart University's Jack Welch College of Business, meeting with faculty members. He will continue his visit on Friday, to work closely with students. He is an active supporter and advisor to the school and its students.
Now a best-selling author, speaker and business consultant, Mr. Welch met with the entire faculty of the Welch College of Business to discuss what a business leader needs today and how the education of future leaders can address those needs. Tomorrow, he will conduct a morning seminar with students in the College's Master of Business Administration program, as well as some undergraduates who are studying the Welch way.
A highlight of his campus visit will be an inaugural meeting with the first cohort of Welch Scholars. Chosen on the basis of academic achievement, leadership potential and financial need, these Sacred Heart undergraduates receive grants from Mr. Welch to assist them in financing their college careers.
According to SHU President Dr. Anthony J. Cernera, "While the Welch Scholarship presumes academic commitment and achievement, it involves so much more. We trust that those who hold this honor will become campus leaders distinguished by their deep humanity, their willingness to help others grow, and their pursuit of lifelong learning and service to the community."
Welch, a man synonymous with world-class business leadership, gave his name to the University's College of Business in January 2006. "My travels these days take me all over the world," he noted, "but it's always a pleasure to come back home and talk with future leaders like the exceptional young people I see at Sacred Heart. They give me real hope for the future – and not just for the future of business."

New Database Helps Identify Immunologic Therapies That Often Cure Cancer.
Cancer starts when some of a persons cells become cancerous. New drug therapies re-program a patients own cells so they will become tumor-specific cells that destroy the cancerous cells. ImmunoDigest.com, a new database, will include hundreds of success stories where patients have had treatments and are alive despite a terminal diagnosis. Names of doctors, hospitals, and immunologic therapies will be included.
Carlsbad, CA - ImmunoDigest.com is pleased to announce the development of a free, comprehensive, online searchable database of immunological therapies. Immunological therapies are being used in major hospitals worldwide, some of which include America's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Stanford University, University of Pennsylvania, and the Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
ImmunoDigest.com is a database of patient success stories that is searchable by:
- cancer type
- cancer location (breast, spleen, lungs, stomach, etc.)
- immunologic therapies used
- hospital or research facility
- doctor
- country of treatment
- sources of information (with an active link to the survivor's success story)
Patients, families and even doctors will be able to search for possible cures to their particular cancer.
Understanding immunologic therapies simplified: Cancer starts when some of a person's cells become cancerous. These cancer cells can become a blood, bone, lung or another type of cancer, which may evolve to become tumors. For some cancers, new drug therapies use the patient's own cells to re-program themselves into tumor-specific T-cells. These re-programmed cells become "weapons" that will destroy the cancerous cells – ideally forever! It is essentially a personalized medicine as everyone's cancer is different.
Visit https://igg.me/at/ImmunoDigest to learn more about this incredible new database which tells the stories of lung cancer, lymphoma, brain cancer and other cancer survivors.
ImmunoDigest.com is based in San Diego County in the city of Carlsbad in the state of California, USA. John Livingstone, the founder, is passionate about spreading information to patients about possible cures through immunologic therapies. Cancer.gov estimates 39% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer. This information is a valuable resource.

Country Renaissance Festival
I went to the local Renaissance festival every year in University and was quite disappointed when it closed down. So I was very happy to discover that Milton, Ontario was hosting a new fest and dragged my husband out.
I always found that seeing costumes, weapons and armour in use gave my writing more verisimilitude, as I'd better understand the problems and nuances of their use. And the fairs were a lot of fun to attend.
Those in the Royal Court and the Village of Wittingham are members of Faires in Time, the jousters from the Ontario International Jousting Association and the bird demonstrations by Birds in Flight Peregrine International. (In the photos directly above, two knights break lances in the joust and a knight cuts a cabbage in half with a sword from horseback.)

Chilling teaser trailer debuts for Walking Dead video game
Telltale Games has premiered a creepy teaser trailer for The Walking Dead video game that lacks any gameplay footage but makes up for it with a sense of dread and helplessness that captures the mood of both the comic series (by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard) and the hit television adaptation.
The game centers on Lee Everett, a character created specifically for the game, in a parallel story to the acclaimed comic series, with designs based on Adlard's art. Telltale CEO Dan Connors announced earlier this week that the developer is about to submit the episodic game for approval through Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, which means it could go on sale as soon as late April or early May.
Check out the trailer below.

EU backs higher prices in FinlandDecember 30th, 2005 | Posted by Real Beer
Is this fair?
The European Union prolonged Finland's right to curb the amount of beer travelers can bring from Russia, aiding costlier Finnish retailers, bolstering tax revenue and addressing worries about drunkenness.
Finland can limit beer carried by people arriving from non-EU countries including Russia to 16 liters until the end of 2007 under the European legislation.
The real reason to do this is that beer costs less in Russia.

Pakistan: US drone strikes kill 15
Two US drone missile attacks have killed at least 15 people in the Pakistani tribal region bordering Afghanistan, officials say.
Twelve people were killed when a drone fired two missiles at a compound used by suspected militants in North Waziristan on Monday night, they added.
Earlier on Monday, another drone fired two missiles at a vehicle in North Waziristan, killing three people.
North Waziristan has been targeted by drone strikes for months.
The US says the region is home to several militant groups involved in attacks on Nato forces in Afghanistan.
On Monday night, drone missiles targeted a compound at the foot of a hill in the thickly-forested Mantoi area, some 40km (24 miles) north-west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.
The compound was being used by local militants affiliated with Hakimullah Mehsud's Tehrik-e Taliban group, officials said.
Earlier, three people were killed and two others injured when a drone fired two missiles at a vehicle which was travelling into Afghanistan in the Shawal region of North Waziristan.
Wazir tribespeople inhabit both sides of the border here and frequently move across the border.
But officials told BBC that those killed in the strike were militants. It is not clear which group they belonged to.
Drone attacks have focused on North and South Waziristan, where US officials believe many al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters find shelter.
Pakistan publicly criticises drone attacks, saying they fuel support for militants. But observers say the authorities privately condone the strikes.
The American military does not routinely confirm drone operations, but analysts say the US is the only force capable of deploying such aircraft in the region.

Center for Vocational Reflection
Fraternity Alumni Network (FAN) on the Road!
Kevin Conte, student leader of Augustana's FAN program will be traveling to St. John's University in Minnesota on February 14th to present the "Augustana Fraternity Alumni Network" to other schools from across the country that are interested in how to engage men in vocational reflection. The FAN program matches current members of fraternities with alumni of Augustana who participated in a fraternity. Through e-mails, phone conversations, and Facebook experiences, pairs of alumni and students from respective fraternities are reflecting on vocation throughout the year. Information about the vision, successes, challenges, and the future of the program will be presented. Both mentors and mentees benefit from the relationship and vocational reflection. We will explore what it means to create and maintain a mentoring culture in the 21st century using the fraternity as a vehicle to support and strengthen men in our communities. This program is directed by Becca Poock, CVR Community Engagement Coordinator.
Extravaganza!!!! CVR in New Orleans
Last week two Augustana students, Anne Spoden and Melinda King, and CVR Program Associate Christie Anderson travelled to New Orleans for the ELCA Youth Ministry Network's Extravaganza. Highlights from the four day conference included an inspiring mix of street poetry and story telling from Leslie Hunter, a youth director and assisting minister at Holy Family Lutheran Church in Chicago as well as great workshops ranging in topics from Art in Youth Ministry to Facebook 101. The students found great opportunities to network with people from around the country and gain skills and inspiration for the work they do in youth ministry at Zion Lutheran Church. Christie, part of the Extravaganza planning team, spent the majority of her time preparing for and carrying out five worship services. Pulling from her experience at Taizé, which she attended two summers ago with a group from Augustana's campus ministries, she was able to create an authentic Taizé service for Friday night, an experience many attendees found to be inspirational. She also enjoyed creating prayer experiences like the one pictured here, where participants attached a piece of fabric symbolizing the gifts God has given them to a tree as an offering to God.

Moon Geun Young considers role opposite Park Seo Joon in Chaebol's Daughter
Moon Geun Young is considering her first drama role since 2013 in the upcoming SBS melodrama Chaebol's Daughter, and Kill Me, Heal Me's Park Seo Joon is in talks to play her leading man.
If Moon accepts the role, she would play...a chaebol's daughter (in case you missed that from the drama's title). She hides her identity and works part time at a food market in hopes of finding someone who loves her for who she is instead of loving her for money. Park Seo Joon is in talks for the role of a cynical man who believes love is a tool that the rich use to control others.
So...it's basically Cheongdamdong Alice all over again, except Moon Geun Young gets to be the undercover rich kid in love instead of the poor cynic?
Moon Geun Young's last drama was Goddess of Fire in 2013, and I would love to see her on the small screen again. Park Seo Joon has been a rising star with his last few roles, including his adorable noona killer in last year's Witch's Romance and his part as the twin brother on Kill Me, Heal Me. He previously worked with the writer of Chaebol's Daughter on the melodrama One Warm Word.
What do you think of this pairing? although Moon Geun Young is a longtime K-drama veteran, she and Park only have a year age gap, and Park Seo Joon has definitely shown promise in his roles. It was only a matter of time before he started getting leading offers on the big networks!
To see Moon Geun Young play the role of a jaded young woman who falls for a rich young man, check out Cheongdamdong Alice:

Pediatric Infectious Disease
Infectious Diseases in Children
Every day, children are exposed to a variety of germs that may cause infectious diseases.
Preventing infectious diseases today is much easier than in the past, thanks to improved hygiene practices, better vaccines and advances in medical technology.
However, there are still common and unusual infections that children contract. Some of these can be difficult to diagnose or difficult to treat.
Conditions & Treatments
Some of the most common infectious diseases in children include:
- Chickenpox
- Fifth disease
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease
- Flu, including H1N1 (Swine flu)
- Meningitis
- Whooping cough (pertussis)
Learn how you can protect your child with immunizations.
Does Your Child Need To See A Physician?
Our doctors provide physician consultation services for:
- Primary infectious diseases such as blood stream infections, pneumonia and meningitis
- Recurrent or prolonged infections
- Infections in children who have traveled abroad or are internationally adopted children
- Infections in high-risk patients, including those with compromised immune systems, cancer, prematurity and children with pulmonary, cardiac or renal disease
We offer appointments through doctor referrals only.

Ten members of Congress are urging the Redskins to change their name because it is offensive to many Native Americans.
The representatives said yesterday they've sent letters to Redskins owner Dan Snyder, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Redskins sponsor FedEx and the other 31 NFL franchises.
The letter to Snyder says that "Native Americans throughout the country consider the 'R-word' a racial, derogatory slur akin to the 'N-word' among African Americans or the 'W-word' among Latinos."
Snyder has vowed that he will never change the name.
JAGUARS: Authorities say running back Maurice Jones-Drew has been accused in a complaint of hitting someone at a St. Augustine, Fla., restaurant, but police have not brought criminal charges.
Police said in a press release the alleged victim filed a misdemeanor battery complaint following a Sunday night altercation at the Conch House Restaurant and Marina. Jones-Drew wasn't taken into police custody.
49ERS: Goodbye cold, grungy Candlestick Park. Hello high tech, shiny new Levi's Stadium.
Fifty-four years after $32 million Candlestick Park opened, the 49ers are building a new, $1.2 billion showcase of a stadium which is almost twice as big, wired to the hilt, and opening its doors for the 2014 season, in time to host Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif., in 2016.
With the largest lower bowl in the league, the 68,500 fans will be close to the action.
The steep construction bills are being paid by $800 million in seat and luxury box sales, along with a 20-year, $220 million naming rights agreement with Levi Strauss and Co.
TEXANS: Running back Arian Foster strained his right calf during the team's organized training activities.
Foster, who ran for 1,424 yards last season, was injured on the first play of team drills yesterday. Coach Gary Kubiak says more will be known about the injury after Foster sees a doctor.
RAIDERS: First-round draft pick D.J. Hayden's comeback from a near-fatal practice injury last year was dealt a setback when he was hospitalized with an abdominal injury expected to keep him sidelined until at least training camp.

What's with the Blue Dog Democrats? They are using all kinds of excuses to justify their treasonous behavior to the party. Don't they realize that through their actions, these so-called Democrats are imperiling everything fought for?
Or is it just another case of politics as usual.
From what rooftop do we have to yell to get them to pay attention? It looks like they're thinking about two years ahead.
You don't take over eight years of a disaster and expect it to change overnight.
They have to give this administration a chance! For the most part, although Obama hasn't tackled everything, he's made more improvements in one day than Bush did in eight years.
Of course, Bush didn't care; nor did Cheney.
And now all of their collaborators can only say "No, No" and show evidence of amnesia. But the truth remains that they brought America to its knees.
All presidents are not the same.
And now, these Blue Dogs. They need to cut the guy some slack. He's held office for only two months! Look at your television, read the papers – we finally have a president — not to mention a first lady — who is admired and liked by the rest of the world. Yes, that is the same world we all live in. Their visit overseas was a spectacular achievement.
Why didn't all of these Blue Dogs speak out when the store was given away?
All they are spouting is nothing more than gobbledygook. Let's get on their case to rejoin the party and stop bitching for no good reason!
It seems that the media is given free access to the radio waves and the airways by law in exchange for communicating the truth.
That is the concept behind the exchange.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the FCC has lost its way and tended to bend one way or another for personal advantage, now leasing most of the available media channels to a handful of companies that dominate the media directly in conflict with the charter of the FCC.
It is the truth that seems to suffer most these days as broadcasters find themselves between ye olde rock and the proverbial hard place.
The crux of the problem is simply this: there is too little content to fill too many hours.
As a consequence, these "talking heads" tend to inflate the truth with their own thoughts — which usually tend to be less than incisive or particularly informative.
Anyone who has played around with symbolic logic would get the point right away.
We are submerged in a flood of misappropriated syllogisms that don't hold up and don't stand the test. The model seems to suggest that if you don't have anything to say, say it over and over again and embellish it with adjectives and adverbs.
Don't worry about the facts either, because few people know them. And when you throw some new hyperbole into the pot, all you do is enhance your stock because nobody knows that you could be, and probably are, wrong. Playing this name game is oftentimes tantamount to not having anything of meaning to say.
That's why you hear Chris Matthews spouting the same tired rhetoric over and over again. Not to single him out because he tries; but the Fox guys don't stop there. Their invention machine is working on overtime to spout out anything that seems to draw an audience.
If the President discovered a cure for cancer and solved the economic woes of the world, those boys would find some way to downgrade the accomplishment and say it was stolen from the previous administration. Repetitive sound bytes tend to get remembered. Keep it short. Keep it newsy whether it is news or not. And don't worry about the facts!
Increasingly that is the formulae used by Fox.
The sad part is nobody holds their dirty feet to the fire — except for Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Olbermann's running battle with 'Billo' O'Lielly is worth the price of admission.
It is tiresome to hear the same old lies spouted over and over again and aided and abetted by self-serving politicians who don't mind patting themselves on the back for their purported selfless acts of serving the people and being sure to take credit for it.
Most have now learned how to play the game with a straight face and it is disturbing that any honest person can be so taken in. But it happens more often than not.
Everyone hears about how farsighted Fox was in anticipating the news or how brilliant their commentators are at presenting the truth. Sure! Want to buy a nice bridge in Brooklyn?
During the campaign for Dean, media combat teams were set up to contest the half-truths and shibboleths tossed out by an irresponsible media. Let's do it again – though Colbert's Truthyness could be used.
It has become unflatteringly obvious that both parties have become little more than a group of loosely held politicians who put their own welfare above the publics they swore to protect. It has also become stunningly clear that the only way this will change is to make our politicians dependent again on the voting public.
We must disentangle politics from business interests by disallowing money from private business groups and lobbyists from flowing into the coffers of politicians seeking political office.
The amounts and sources must be closely controlled and the power of media advertising using business money removed from the equation.
The politicians must once again draw their strength and their staying power from the people, not the inventiveness of business or lobbyists seeking blatantly to impose their own agendas which does a total disservice to the notion of democracy. And these admonitions and serious suggestions apply especially to the Blue Dogs!
As I was saying…

Build Guide by Zeran
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Amumu Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
To start off this build has only been used in 5v5, i haven't gotten around to testing it in 3v3's.
Summoner Spells
Highly Recommended
Exhaust is great for chasing and with improved exhaust you despair will be even more effective. It also puts up a blind which could help if there is to many people hitting on you at once.
Flash is good for initiating and escaping. I use this summoner spell religiously on almost all champions because of the ability to flash behind walls and just being able to get off the first cast.
Ghost is also nice for chasing escaping.
Good Choices
Teleport is OK for map travel i wouldn't pick it up but if you want to be more mobile go ahead.
Cleanse is always nice to take off early ignites and other slows later game.(this is your enemy in team fights)
Don't Bother
Heal - You have the regrowth pendant.
Clairvoyance - Let a support person pick this up.
Revive - Just no.
With this build i go a simple 9/21/0. The points in defense go for basic tank stuff like the extra armor and some dodge and then tenacity because the less damage you take the better. The 9 points in offense go for imp exhaust and for the extra 15% spell pen, the 4 points in sorcery help in that they make your tantrum more spam-able.
Greater Mark of Insight x9 - More magic pen for despair.
Greater Seal of Evasion x9 - More dodge chance the better.
Greater Glyph of Insight x9 - More magic pen for despair.
Greater Quintessence of Insight x3 - More magic pen for despair.
Item Build
1. Regrowth Pendant - Keeps you in the lane as long as possible(Until you upgrade to philo stone of course.)
2. Philosophers Stone - At 650g go back for this right away, now you can lane almost forever! The health and the mana regen make laning easy. You shouldn't HAVE to go back after you pick up this item.
3. Ninja Tabi - Armor and Dodge Chance? Tank heaven especially with the dodge seals and the masteries. The movement is a no brainer being able to get anywhere faster is nice.
4. Sunfire Cape x2 - Sunfire capes are (in my opinion) the best item for Amumu. 400 Health + 45 Armor stats are nice, but the icing on the piece of cardboard is the 40 magic damage to nearby enemies. Combine that with the damage from despair... Gee Gee Gee Gee baby baby babe.
5. Warmogs Armor - At this point the game should be over, but if it goes on longer grab Warmogs. The extra HP and Regen is extremely nice. [Luxury Item]
6. Sunfire Cape - Another Sunfire cape will only help you at this point.
7. Situational - If a game does go on this long you have a few choices. First of all sell the philo stone you wont be needing it this late in game. The choices i would go with would be...
A. Guardian Angel if you are thinking you might die in an important team fight.
B. Randuins Omen if you are feeling like your unstoppable this will make you even stronger and with an active slow no one will escape you.
Early Game(Lv 1-6)
Start of laning with someone who has a good DPS output, can be melee or ranged(i prefer ranged laning partners). You don't want mid leave that to the Carries. So far my favorite laning partner has been Twitch, but other good choices are Ashe and maybe Ezreal, assuming someone else is going mid of course. You get tantrum first because you want to hit tons of minions, make sure to use it to last hit a lot. You want to run back for your philosophers stone ASAP! Now your free to just chill in lane with your partner and farm the creeps. Don't be afraid to bandage toss the enemy champions and attack them, if you have 1 of the 3 champions i listed above laning with you you'll most likely kill any champ that tests their boundaries.
Mid Game(Lv 7-14)
Now your ready to engage some unsuspecting champions! Make sure if you are going to gank someone you have someone else there with you. Solo Amumu wont die but at this point your damage out put isn't amazing. Get a couple of kills(or if your me get KS'ed and get assists) So that you can afford your first Sunfire. After you grab you Sunfire tell your team to start pushing so that the enemy team has to engage you in a team fight. Amumu is THE KING OF TEAM FIGHTS! Try and catch the enemy team grouped up, and make sure your team is aware of when you are going to engage. If need be, flash into the crowd of enemy champs with despair activated. Pop your ultimate and pick a target and tantrum spam like crazy. If they aren't dead from all the damage your team is doing at this time, bandage toss and finish the runners off.
Late Game(Lv 15-18)
Late game is a lot of team fights. This is where Amumu excels the most because of the Sunfire's you have. Push as a team and make sure you always engage first, you need to be right in the middle of everything. You can tank turrets especially if you have the Warmogs armor so don't be afraid to run at them if you have no minions. Consider picking up baron if you think you need a little more edge to push your team over the top.
Neutral Buffs
I don't feel like Amumu needs them, early game you could pick up golem to make it so you don't have to return to base for the philosophers as soon but its not really needed. Leave these for the other champs that really need them.

HtmlDocument provides a managed wrapper around Internet Explorer's document object, also known as the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). You obtain an instance of HtmlDocument through the Document property of the WebBrowser control.
HTML tags inside of an HTML document can be nested inside one another. HtmlDocument thus represents a document tree, whose children are instances of the HtmlElement class. The following code example shows a simple HTML file.

Simple HTML Form
 <FORM> Enter Your Name: <INPUT type="text" size="20" name="Text1"> </FORM>
In this example, HtmlDocument represents the entire document inside the HTML tags. The BODY, DIV, FORM and SPAN tags are represented by individual HtmlElement objects.
There are several ways you can access the elements in this tree. Use the Body property to access the BODY tag and all of its children. The ActiveElement property gives you the HtmlElement for the element on an HTML page that has user input focus. All elements within an HTML page can have a name; the All collection provides access to each HtmlElement using its name as an index. GetElementsByTagName will return an HtmlElementCollection of all HtmlElement objects with a given HTML tag name, such as DIV or TABLE. GetElementById will return the single HtmlElement corresponding to the unique ID that you supply. GetElementFromPoint will return the HtmlElement that can be found on the screen at the supplied mouse pointer coordinates.
You can also use the Forms and Images collection to iterate through elements that represent user input forms and graphics, respectively.
HtmlDocument is based on the unmanaged interfaces implemented by Internet Explorer's DHTML DOM: IHTMLDocument, IHTMLDocument2, IHTMLDocument3, and IHTMLDocument4. Only the most frequently used properties and methods on these unmanaged interfaces are exposed by HtmlDocument. You can access all other properties and methods directly using the DomDocument property, which you can cast to the desired unmanaged interface pointer.
An HTML document may contain frames, which are different windows inside of the WebBrowser control. Each frame displays its own HTML page. The Frames collection is available through the Window property. You may also use the Window property to resize the displayed page, scroll the document, or display alerts and prompts to the user.
HtmlDocument exposes the most common events you would expect to handle when hosting HTML pages. For events not exposed directly by the interface, you can add a handler for the event using AttachEventHandler.
HTML files may contain SCRIPT tags that encapsulate code written in one of the Active Scripting languages, such as JScript or VBScript. The InvokeScript method provides for execution of properties and methods defined in a SCRIPT tag.
While most of the properties, methods, and events on HtmlDocument have kept the same names as they have on the unmanaged DOM, some have been changed for consistency with the .NET Framework.
The following code example uses data from the Northwind database to create an HTML TABLE dynamically using CreateElement. The AppendChild method is also used, first to add cells (TD elements) to rows (TR elements), then to add rows to the table, and finally to append the table to the end of the current document. The code example requires that your application has a WebBrowser control named WebBrowser1. The code should be called after a document has been loaded.
private void DisplayCustomersTable() { DataSet customersSet = new DataSet(); DataTable customersTable = null; SqlDataAdapter sda = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM Customers", "Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Northwind;"); sda.Fill(customersTable); customersTable = customersSet.Tables[0]; if (webBrowser1.Document != null) { HtmlElement tableRow = null; HtmlElement headerElem = null; HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document; HtmlElement tableElem = doc.CreateElement("TABLE"); doc.Body.AppendChild(tableElem); HtmlElement tableHeader = doc.CreateElement("THEAD"); tableElem.AppendChild(tableHeader); tableRow = doc.CreateElement("TR"); tableHeader.AppendChild(tableRow); foreach (DataColumn col in customersTable.Columns) { headerElem = doc.CreateElement("TH"); headerElem.InnerText = col.ColumnName; tableRow.AppendChild(headerElem); } // Create table rows. HtmlElement tableBody = doc.CreateElement("TBODY"); tableElem.AppendChild(tableBody); foreach (DataRow dr in customersTable.Rows) { tableRow = doc.CreateElement("TR"); tableBody.AppendChild(tableRow); foreach (DataColumn col in customersTable.Columns) { Object dbCell = dr[col]; HtmlElement tableCell = doc.CreateElement("TD"); if (!(dbCell is DBNull)) { tableCell.InnerText = dbCell.ToString(); } tableRow.AppendChild(tableCell); } } } }

Did You Know?
Provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all. Jane Austen's Catherine in Northanger Abbey, whose aversion to learning is pretty well summed up in the preceding sentence, would likely object to a chrestomathy that turned out to be a compilation of excerpts from ancient philosophical writings. She would probably be oblivious of, and indifferent to, the fact that the Greeks had the usefulness of knowledge in mind when they created chrestomathy from their adjective chrēstos, which means "useful," and the verb manthanein, which means "to learn."
