A man was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute after police discovered he had outstanding warrants Friday, according to a Columbus Police report.
Police responded to the area of 17th Avenue and 44th Street at about 11:40 p.m. after receiving reports of a suspicious person. When the officer arrived, he found 36-year-old Forrest Edward King, who matched the description. King was bleeding from the back of his head and had a swollen cheek.
The officer asked if he was OK, to which he responded "Yes." After the officer checked his name, however, he discovered King had an outstanding warrant for family violence related battery. He was placed in custody.
While searching King, police found 45 small baggies and a glass smoking pipe in his backpack.
Police then transported him to the Medical Center for treatment of injuries. King told hospital staff and the officer that he had been in a fight but couldn't remember exactly what happened.
King was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He was then transported to Muscogee County Jail.
During a second search at the jail, police found a small bag of white powder that appeared to be cocaine in King's right front watch pocket.

The correct sour soup the sauerkraut requires fat meat. So the traditional Russian recipe for hot and sour soup is the recipe with fat pork. But there are other kinds of soups with sauerkraut, for example, easy vegan soup or lamb soup.
- 1 pound of lamb
- 2-2.2 pounds of sauerkraut
- 3 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 big onion
- 1 medium carrot
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- 2-4 potatoes
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- olive oil.
1. Brown in a heavy bottomed saucepan the rosemary and lamb on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Use olive oil if you have lean lamb.
2. Chop the onion and grate the carrot.
3. Remove the rosemary. Add the chopped onion to the meat. Simmer stirring for 3 minutes.
4. Add the grated carrot and simmer again for 3 minutes.
5. Stir in sauerkraut with its juice. Add ½ cup of hot water. Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring once or twice.
6. Fill the pan with hot water to the top. Add black pepper and boil for 30 minutes.
7. Meanwhile cut the potatoes into small pieces and boil them.
8. Add the garlic and boiled potatoes in the soup. Bring to boil and set aside.
Your sour cabbage soup with lamb is ready. But do not serve it immediately. To be delicious indeed any soup with sauerkraut should infuse for some hours. So cook the soup in the evening and eat it the next day.

Janney Montgomery Scott has landed a big producer in the Big Apple.
Advisor Michael Coraggio has joined Janney's lower Manhattan office in New York, where he will serve as executive vice president of investments.
Coraggio formerly managed about $115 million in client assets and generated roughly $1.3 million in annual revenue while at BB&T Scott & Stringfellow, a Richmond, Va.-based regional brokerage and investment banking firm, according to a statement from Janney. FINRA records show he was with BB&T since 2006.
In recent weeks, the Philadelphia-based Janney recruited two advisors from Wells Fargo as well as a former-Stifel advisor.

The past few weeks we've been eating a lot more and a lot heavier than normal. The holidays are now over, and this week is going to be different. Planning our meal plan this week, I focused on mostly healthier meals. Mostly… one thing in particular really isn't, but it will totally be a treat for us, and it uses up some of the last of our Christmas leftovers.
This week, we are eating (in no particular order):
- Turkey Pot Pie. We've frozen the last of our leftover turkey, but will be pulling out a bunch of it for this. (This is, btw, my go-to gluten free pie crust as well.)
- Mediterranean Tuna Antipasto Salad. I always love this for a really super light meal, but I typically only eat it in the summer.
- Vedge's Portobello Frites. I'm wondering if John is going to like this one – I'm always trying different vegetarian recipes, but he very much likes the idea of some kin of meat with every meal… hopefully this one is a winner.
- Asian beef stir-fry with basil and red bell pepper. From the Eat, Shrink, and be Merry! cookbook. Seriously love this series.
- Cabbage Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Not the kind that you eat when you're on a starve-yourself diet. This is from the Crazy Plates cookbook and looks pretty hearty. But we have a half a cabbage to finish, and I am definitely looking forward to getting it out of the fridge. (I'm not a cabbage fan.)
- White Chili with Quinoa. From the Quinoa Revolution cookbook. I'm actually really looking forward to this… which is surprising considering I didn't actually like chili of any kind until this year.
- Marinated Pork Chops. I'll probably be using my regular maple syrup, dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and rosemary marinade. Super simple and easy.

Looking for a job is hard enough. But when you're already employed, there are even more challenges you have to be prepared to address.
Better compensation. More career opportunities. A hostile work environment. Impending layoffs. There are plenty of reasons why people look for a job even though they are already employed.
But for employed job seekers, the job search process can be extremely uncomfortable. At times, it will feel like you're living a double life – mild-mannered and responsible employee by day; aggressive job hunter on nights and weekends.
The good news is that it's usually easier to find a new job when you're employed than it is land a new position after you have been laid off or terminated from your current job. However, there are several strategies you will need to employ to maintain your personal integrity and avoid jeopardizing your employment status while you are searching for a new employer.
Evaluate Risks and Rewards
Before you finalize your decision to look for a new position, you should take a long, hard look at why you want to leave your current job. The marketplace is full of both risks and rewards, and if the reason you're leaving your current position is superficial, you could easily find yourself leaping out of the fire pan and into the fire.
Create a Job Search Firewall
It is absolutely essential to create clear boundaries between your workplace and your job search. Thinking about using the office copier to print resumes? Trying to squeeze an interview in over your lunch hour? These and many other pitfalls have been the demise of many job seekers, so think very carefully before you allow your job search to bleed over into your workday or office space.
Exercise Discretion
Employed jobseekers walk a fine line between aggressively promoting themselves in the job marketplace and hiding the fact that they are looking for a new employment opportunity. It's usually safe to update your LinkedIn profile, but posting your resume on public job boards and engaging in other high risk job search activities can quickly backfire.
Take the High Road
Under no circumstances is it appropriate to talk negatively about your current employer during an interview or networking opportunity – not even if your present employer makes Ebenezer Scrooge look like Gandhi. In many industries, individuals are more closely connected than they seem and word will inevitably trickle back to your present employer, possibly resulting in the loss of your current job.
Never Burn Bridges
Congratulations, you've finally received a job offer that you want to accept. Although the temptation to go out in a blaze of glory may be overwhelming, never, ever burn bridges with your current employer. As unlikely as it seems, it may eventually be advantageous to collaborate with or return to your present employer in some capacity.

Back in November 2007, I weighed in on the original Amazon Kindle. I said:
I think that it will succeed, become a big business segment for them, and will be the first of a new line.
With the introduction of the Kindle 2, I think it's time to do my dance in the end zone. The new device is improved (better screen, better ergonomics, improved battery life), and it even has a new feature (PDF support) that I think will expand its use for some.
As I predicted, most people simply don't care about DRM, as long as it is not so restrictive that it prevents them from doing what they want with the content. And the Kindle's DRM allows most people to do what they want – read the books on their own Kindles. The Kindle isn't for everyone, but most people I know who bought one love it. These folks tend to travel a lot, and the ability to carry around a library is priceless to them. I spoke to a woman at my gym who was using hers while on the treadmill, and she raved about it (it was like talking to a Mac user!).
OK, so now is it time for me to buy a Kindle 2? Well, no. But that's only because I've already acquired an alternative that works well for me: Lexcycle's Stanza on my iPhone. Before I got the iPhone a few months ago, I didn't think that I would ever read novels on a phone. But Stanza is so good that I'm a convert. I've probably read a dozen books with Stanza now, and I really like being able to start reading a book on the phone, shift to reading it with the desktop version on the MacBook, then finish the book back on the phone. I love love love always having good reading material in my pocket.
Stanza already reads books in (DRM-free) Kindle format. And Amazon made comments today about making Kindle books available for the iPhone, perhaps later this year. A partnership between Lexcycle and Amazon isn't too hard to imagine. I can wait to see what happens.

Trump lands in Philippines, final stop in Asia
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — President Donald Trump has arrived in the Philippines to attend a pair of international summits and close his five-country tour of Asia.
Trump is slated to meet several times with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte (doo-TEHR'-tay). Duterte has come under intense criticism from human rights advocates for overseeing a violent drug crackdown that includes extrajudicial killings. Trump has previously praised Duterte's handling of his nation's drug problems.
Trump was originally scheduled to depart Manila on Monday but he added a day to the visit so he could more fully participate in one of the summits.
He arrived in Manila on Sunday after a brief stop in Vietnam.
Trump also visited Japan, South Korea and China.

POINT 1- For example, Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) cut taxes 3 times and cut spending during his presidency. In 1929, the stock market crashed. Then the Great Depression followed.
POINT 2- Herbert Hoover (1929-1933), on the other hand, took care of things by increasing the taxes to their original rate, and same with spending. In 1934 and 1935, the economic recovery began. Then, in 1939, there was a full economic recovery. In this example, cutting taxes and spending ended up in failure, and because of Herbert Hoover doing the opposite, the economy recovered.
POINT 3- Another example is when George Bush cut taxes. These tax cuts are still in action and always were since Bush passed them. Ask yourself, are we better off now? The definite answer is no.
POINT 4- Also, cutting taxes increases the deficit, or the difference between fiscal expenditures and total tax collection. Meanwhile, cutting fiscal spending cuts jobs, and therefore cuts the GDP, which in turn, lowers total tax revenue because there is less money floating around. Then, the deficit grows even more, but then, when you add inflation to our recipe, it becomes the recipe for disaster and the deficit explodes.
So before you vote conservative in 2012, take this into account. To whomever accepts this challenge, good luck.
I will first attack the cons examples then introduce reasons why cutting taxes and spending is good...
1) Tax cuts did not cause the Great Depression.... The Great Depression came about due to a breakdown in overseas trade, overproduction of goods, breakdown of WWI payments between countries, banks handing out loans to everyone with no regards to their credit or if they would be able to pay off such loans, and most importantly of all a reckless tactic of investing in the stock market by millions of investors causing the stock market to fluctuate drastically until the point where the stocks costing people fortunes....
2) The US began to recover from the great depression from massive government intervention by FDR. When hoover increased taxes throughout his presidency, average wages did not follow suit. This means that as the Great Depression unfolded in Hoover's lap, millions of Americans were under an even harder financial burden due to tax hikes. The tax hikes also doubled with inflation to cause many Americans beforehand to be unable to even buy bread.... Tax hikes did not end the depression, it made it far worse.
(right from the link)
"The tax increases of the 1930s coincided with large deficits and economic stagnation. While the monetary and
trade policy mistakes of the 1930s are now widely understood, the tax policy mistakes are less appreciated.
As Congress grapples with today's budget deficit and mediocre economic growth, it should look to the tax cuts
of the 1920s for inspiration rather than the failed "budget balancing with high taxes" approach of the 1930s."
This study is basically stating and analyzing how tax CUTS would have healed the Great Depression better than tax HIKES
3) This is the silliest argument Ive ever seen. The reason we are in an economic crisis today is not because Bush wanted to cut taxes by 3%, its because following 9/11 a massive initiative against terrorism resulted in two very bloody, prolonged, and costly wars that put a hell of a strain on America's budget and caused the national debt to mushroom outwards. While that was happening a Global Financial Crisis erupted as a result of overproduction of goods, historic inflation, and this time the prime culprit was a housing bubble that once it burst started to cause many financial systems and institutions to completely collapse. Tax cuts didnt get us to where we are today, it was everything but.
4) It is pretty true that cutting spending can cost jobs, however the loss of jobs may not drastically affect the debt that the Con thinks it will. Those who lose jobs may find other jobs, jobs are created every month so by the end of every fiscal year the impact of spending cuts would grow steadily softer. That means as the months time the alleged revenue in taxes lost grows smaller since jobs are created, people get hired, and now have a taxable salary.
So to summarize, while cutting spending does cost jobs, it immediately reduces the deficit while the taxable incomes lost by the loss of jobs decreases month to month soo that given enough time the economy could produce enough new jobs to absorb all of these employees allowing tax revenue to continue while spending is directly reduced and the deficit a chance to grow smaller.
Also there is a very fatal error that the Con has overlooked, Let me explain as simply as i can,
Raising taxes (what con wants) ->more money for the government to use (what the government wants)
More money -> Will the government use it to pay off debt or to spend it on new things? (Wars, Defense, etc)
Pay off debt or increase spending? -> Usually results in government spending income instead of paying off debt
Raising taxes does not guarantee the deficit will be reduced if the government spends that extra cash on programs rather than paying off its debt....
Ill give a few points regarding why lower taxes and lower spending are good...
Spending should be cut because
1) Spending is getting out of hand....
The US in 2010 spent as much money in a single year (3.5 trillion) as it did in its first 198 YEARS OF EXISTENCE
(chart is towards bottom)
The spending by the government is getting completely out of hand, causing the national debt to only skyrocket, but rather than cutting uncontrolled debt, the Con thinks that spending should CONTINUE to increase and rely completely on raising taxes to pay off the debt. But as I showed before even if we do balance the budget and make a profit, the government might not use the spare money to fight the deficit, it may blow it all on new programs or say another war.
2) Tax revenue cannot keep up with spending.
Currently, the rises in spending are outpacing the rises in tax revenue causing the national debt to continue to soar upwards here in the near future. If we simply allowed spending to continue to mushroom and focus exclusively on raising taxes to compete with spending, then we are looking at a dismal future, look at the chart below showing tax revenue and spending that we would have to DOUBLE taxes to offset spending and have enough left over to put a dent in the national debt...
3) Cutting taxes
If you cut taxes, that gives the US population more money to spend. More spending money for the middle and lower classes means more consumption of goods, which is great for businesses. That allows them to make more money causing expansion, which makes more jobs or higher wages, you can see where im going with this right? lower taxes = healthier economy since people spend more when they get mroe money (LIKE THE GOVERNMET!)
I got 2,000 characters left, but ill end here since ive made my point for this round.....
Thank you for your opinion. Being my first debate, I did not grasp the stubborness of opponents, I joined four debates at once, thinking that a paragraph or two is enough. Well, I guess I was wrong. I used better strategies in my other debates, and I will try to shape up my unexplained, unstructured, and first debate.
POINT 1- Politicians like to lobby, and Calvin did just that. He cut taxes for the rich 3 times (it affected the top 10 percent). Now, when you cut taxes, you increase the deficit. Calvin cut spending to close this increase (which he failed to do too.) However, he does not understand that The government expenditures are closely linked to peoples jobs. Cutting spending cuts jobs, which in turn, cuts the total GDP, whcih slashes tax collection, and then the deficit grows. Because of Calvin's massive spending cuts, companies could not have as many employees, months later the stocks dropped. The cause of the stocks dropping was the US massive spending cuts, Britain returning to the gold standard, and other governments experiencing Recession. Also many countries over printed money, thus causing inflation. Herbert Hoover raised taxes on the upper bracket, sent out what we would call bailouts, and then altered our gold standard. It was no longer $20/oz it was now $35/oz. This all happened in 1932 Then the U.S. economy began to recover, and it was in fact the first country to show signs of recovery. Britain and many other countries abolished the gold standard completely, and recovered as well. Then the Nazi's came to power in Germany and war started. Wikepedia.com/
POINT 2- I did not mean that Bush Tax cuts was all that caused the current mess, but you know and I know that is played it's role.
POINT 3- Pro does not seem to understand the term "deficit". Let me explain, the deficit is the difference between the tax revenues and the government expenditures. It is not the governments debt.
POINT 4- Germany
We can agree that Germany is a successful country. They have minimal debt, healthy exports and happy people. However, according to http://www.worldwide-tax.com... income tax is 42% on people making between 52,882-250,730 Euros. 1 euro=1.285 US Dollars. The minimum is 70,000 dollars a year. These people pay 42% on income tax and pay other taxes too. This explains Germany's excellent economic stance before the Euro crisis (which was not Germany's fault).
Here is a website that further explains my point: http://www.laobserved.com...
I am running out of time to post this argument, I have 5 minutes left. I did the best I could with 30 minutes.
1) I have already shown how cutting spending does not necessarily contribute to a catastrophic fall in jobs and causes other economic woes and that through natural job creation on a monthly basis the economy itself can recover quite fast. But you claim that,
"the cause of the stocks dropping was the US massive spending cuts, Britain returning to the gold standard, and other governments experiencing Recession" - Which is all completely wrong
The Stock market crashed due to:
- 1 - Overzealous investment into dangerous stocks by investors who practiced "buying on margin"
- 2 - Banks dangerously using people's money for loans and often investing into the stock market itself
- 3 - An earlier mini crash also caused the stock market to be poised for an even bigger collapse
- 4 - Britain returned to the Gold standard in 1939, a full 10 years AFTER the Great Depression already started...
- 5 - The Great Depression started in the US then expanded to the whole world, not the other way around.
- 6 - "This all happened in 1932 Then the U.S. economy began to recover"
The US didnt even show signs of improvement until WWII broke out in the 1940's, by then America was still sagging in high unemployment and in levels of poverty...
2) What role did the tax cuts play? I have shown that the tax cuts had absolutely nothing to do with it... In fact overzealous spending in the early 21st century caused the US debt to explode which reinforces my argument of why spending should be cut.
3) Allow me to clarify since a simple word misplacement has baffled the Pro.
Cutting spending reduces the national debt, cutting taxes increases the deficit but that is only true if spending remains the same or increases. If taxes are cut but spending is cut even further than the deficit would actually decrease.
4) Germany is a very industrial country that exports tons of goods and keeps track of their spending habits, very friendly to businesses, etc. Germany is not the country they are only through taxes like you somehow try to claim.
The Pro has completely dropped my arguments about
1) Why reducing spending for the sake of the national debt is a good thing,
2) How raising taxes could not simply offset spending,
3) How the government may not even use higher taxes to pay off the debt and may use that money on other programs,
4) That cutting taxes puts more money into the system since lower classes now have more money to spend.
5) That tax hikes does not necessarily help a country heal (http://www.cato.org...)
32no forfeited this round.
I extend my arguments :)
I have no more to say, I cannot spend the time con did. Good, thourough job Con. However, I still agree with the fact that cutting taxes and cutting spending is a negative thing, even when done together. If I would have changed anything, I would change my schedule, to make a powerful argument as con did. I have studied economics for 14 years, and I would explain myself better, but in this debate, I could not manaage. Forgive me for having to tend to my family and job, voters.

I thought I'd bring along Lia Habel to the blog to talk about her 2011 debut Dearly, Departed in hopes that it will tide myself and others over until the release of book two, Dearly, Beloved, which is coming out in September this year! Lia talks about writing, steampunk and what's in store for Bram and Nora!
Q: Your debut novel, 'Dearly, Departed', came out in October. How has the reception been so far with readers? Is being a published author all you expected?
It's been incredible! It's so weird to wake up and realize, "Wait, I need to respond to my fan mail." When I started getting emails that weren't other writers or bloggers, just people wanting to tell me how much they enjoyed the book – that was wild. I try to keep my expectations a little low, just because I'd rather be accused of being blind than being egotistic, so I'm really grateful for everything good that comes my way. So far the reaction's been really positive. If any Habel haters exist, I am currently ignorant of the location of their encampment, and I don't want to know it. I've gotten great reviews from established publications, I was actually asked to blurb someone else's book – it's awesome.
Q: The book has loads of fun stuff in it! How did you go about fine-tuning each of your cultures – the Steampunk 'Punks' and the Neo-Victorian 'New Victorians'?
They really came to me on the fly. I've always been fascinated by the idea of different societies within a steampunk universe, and how they might regard and interact with one another. Specifically, I've often found myself thinking, "There has to be an establishment in order to support a punk movement," and I wanted to directly address that. So I decided to go with the idea that one side uses high technology to replicate a Victorian world, the other side being more interested with issues of authenticity and equality. It brings up a lot of fascinating questions – I can't wait to open up more of them.
Q: 'Dearly, Departed' also includes a lot of different viewpoints, from which the story is told. Who was the most fun for you to write through the eyes of? And which character surprised you?
I had the most fun writing Nora, definitely – she's just this little ball of energy, she's so expressive, it's impossible to find her boring! Plus she's thrust into this whole new world, which was sort of the point – I wanted readers to get used to zombies alongside another "new recruit," as it were. She's our ticket into this world of awesome dead people, and with her we get to see it through fresh eyes. (Har de har har.) The most surprising character was probably Pam. She's much more subtle in book one, at least to start out with, but she totally comes into her own. Unfortunately, she has to go through hell to get there.
Q: How many more books are slated for the 'Gone with the Respiration' series? How much work has gone into book two so far? And is there a tentative title?
There's a sequel, which I'm currently revising – it's entitled 'Dearly, Beloved', and should be out in September of 2012! I'm not sure how many books there will be overall; I'd like at least five to tell the story the way I think it needs to be told. It's a huge world, after all, and I feel that all parts of it need to be acknowledged and dealt with.
Q: Can you give us a hint as to where Nora and Bram's story will head in the next book?
Nooo, it's a surprise. Though book two is a touch darker than book one. The world's just changed fundamentally, after all – the dead are now out in the open, everyone's been moved to New London, and some people aren't handling it well. I think the ending includes both the best possible thing that could happen, and the worst.
Q: What are some of your personal favourite steampunk or Victorian-inspired books, films or television shows?
I love comics like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Ruse, books like The Difference Engine and all the wonderful Victorian classics, and shows like Hell on Wheels (though I wouldn't label it explicitly steampunk). I also love finding suggestions of steampunk and anachronistic elements in video games – I'm playing Arkham City now, and there's a whole steampunk world under Gotham! I actually squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw that.
Q: And finally, if there are readers out there who still haven't picked up 'Dearly, Departed', how would you inspire them to do so?
If you're not reading it because you're thinking, "Oh God, not another teen paranormal romance" – it also includes tons of action and comedy, and the heroine doesn't fall for the hero at first sight. If you're thinking, "Zombies shouldn't be corrupted like this – they can't be heroes!" – there are evil zombies as well, and also, you should watch more zombie movies. I can recommend some. Zombies have been intelligent and tragic from day one. If you just haven't looked at it yet – well, I'd love it if you did! It has pretty dresses and guns in it!

Greg Halman: Cause of Fatal Fight Makes Death of Mariners OF Even More SenselessNovember 23, 2011
Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman was found stabbed to death in his Netherlands apartment on Monday with his 22-year-old brother being one of the main suspects. It has now come out that the cause of the murder may have been a dispute over loud music.
The 24-year-old Halman played 35 games for the Mariners last season and was likely to compete for a full-time spot on the team's 25-man roster in 2012. Instead a promising career and life as a whole were cut short due to a senseless act.
While nothing has been confirmed, including the possible murderer or the reason for the murder, a police spokesperson speculated that loud music did, in fact, play a role in Halman's death.
Police spokeswoman Patricia Wessels tells the Associated Press that loud music "appears to be the reason the victim walked downstairs," but police are still trying to piece together what happened after that.
Murder of any kind for any reason is a completely unnecessary and cowardly act to begin with, but if the reports of a dispute over loud music are true, then it simply makes the loss of Halman even tougher to stomach.
Even if a murder occurs over a monumental disagreement, it is still completely unacceptable. For it to happen due to a problem that could have easily been fixed with a simple compromise, though, is truly heartbreaking.
Incidents such as this one make you wonder what is going through somebody's mind when they decide to actually take the measures necessary to end the life of another human being. If I were ever confronted about loud music, I would discuss the issue, but that clearly wasn't the intent of the murderer.
One would have to think that there is more to this story than simply loud music. It's hard to believe that an argument over something so trivial could cause such a drastic reaction. Whatever the case, though, the baseball world lost a promising player over something that could have easily been prevented.

The current study examined regional frontal lobe volumes based on functionally relevant subdivisions in contemporaneously recruited samples of boys and girls with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty-four boys (21 ADHD, 23 control) and 42 girls (21 ADHD, 21 control), ages 8-13 years, participated. Sulcal-gyral landmarks were used to manually delimit functionally relevant regions within the frontal lobe: primary motor cortex, anterior cingulate, deep white matter, premotor regions [supplementary motor complex (SMC), frontal eye field, lateral premotor cortex (LPM)], and prefrontal cortex (PFC) regions [medial PFC, dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC), inferior PFC, lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and medial OFC]. Compared to sex-matched controls, boys and girls with ADHD showed reduced volumes (gray and white matter) in the left SMC. Conversely, girls (but not boys) with ADHD showed reduced gray matter volume in left LPM; while boys (but not girls) with ADHD showed reduced white matter volume in left medial PFC. Reduced left SMC gray matter volumes predicted increased go/no-go commission rate in children with ADHD. Reduced left LPM gray matter volumes predicted increased go/no-go variability, but only among girls with ADHD. Results highlight different patterns of anomalous frontal lobe development among boys and girls with ADHD beyond that detected by measuring whole lobar volumes.

Conservatory visitors will travel back in time with a re-creation of the indoor chrysanthemum show that was so popular at the Conservatory in the 1920s. Thousands of the traditional "Queen of Fall" flowers, including spider, quill, daisy, brush, anemone, button and daisy mums, will color the show house in shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, lavender and green. Artistically displayed as cascades, hanging baskets, tree forms and several large bush mums, the flowers will mingle with additional plants. The last year the Garfield Park Conservatory exhibited an indoor mum show was in 1999.
This year, each unique flower show and event held at the Garfield Park Conservatory will pay tribute to its long illustrious history, with portions of each show devoted to an all-American selection of hybrids created during a given time period.Also at the Garfield Park Conservatory
In addition to the indoor display, check out the Outdoor Fall Flower Show in the CityGarden, featuring hardy mums, ornamental kales, and other fall botanicals.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
The pain started last fall. After a cup of coffee with friends, I found myself curled up on the bathroom floor, unable to move and scarcely able to think. I'd had a mocha from a swanky espresso bar downtown, and some toast. That was it. What could possibly be causing this much pain?
After about four hours, the episode passed. I'd tried to induce vomiting, thinking it was a bout of food poisoning or something, but to no avail. I called my best friend crying, saying, "I think something's really wrong, but I don't know what it is." After a day spent writhing in pain on the floor, and after that phone call, you'd think I'd have gone to see a doctor or Googled or something. Anything. But I didn't. It took me six more months to seek any kind of help for my body.
When I finally walked into the doctor's office, it was after almost a year of these intermittent crippling pain attacks, and almost five years of gradually increasing indigestion and stomach issues. The diagnosis? Gallstones, or rather, stone -- one huge stone revealed on the ultrasound, the size of a quarter, threatening to rupture the delicate duct between my gallbladder and my liver. It had been in danger of rupturing for about two years, according to my doctor, and had been slowly growing for five.
"I'm surprised it took you so long to come in," he said. "Usually, a case like yours, I should've heard from you two, three years ago. You must have some level of pain tolerance, I guess."
When I learned that this was the cause of my bouts with various illnesses and pain, and had been for perhaps half a decade of my life, I was shocked, to say the least. More than that, though, I was angry with myself. I'd ignored so many symptoms, for so long, and caused my body to get dangerously close to some serious damage because of it. Not to mention all the hours of work missed, all the times I couldn't go out with friends because I was battling diarrhea and made some excuse, all the meals I threw up without ever considering how unlikely it was for someone to get food poisoning as often as I did. I'd been letting a treatable health issue fester in my body for so long that I'd assumed it was just part of me.
It's been a little over six months since my surgery. The whole gallbladder had to come out. I was treated to lots of exclamations of "But you're so young!" because at 22, I really am quite young to have gallstones.
It's been six months of repeated doctor visits, different prescriptions, and varying food consumption and experimentation, because my body is still struggling to adjust to a gallbladder-less life. I don't have any evidence that suggests that my recovery time would've been swifter had I been diagnosed sooner, but I do know that even going in six months earlier would've put me farther ahead on the road to recovery now.
I began asking myself the question: Why did it take me so long to seek help? For the first few years of my gallstone's existence, I decided it was lactose intolerance inherited from my mother. Reasonable explanation, until it progressed into violent fits of pain on the floor.
The only thing I can settle on is a strange confluence of the traditions I was raised in. Fundamentalist Christianity left me with an all-encompassing sense of shame about my body, just because it was a woman's body and it existed. I hated my body so much, for so long, that I didn't know how to listen to it anymore, if I ever did.
Loathing the vehicle you're living in is a prime recipe for neglect, and I mistreated my body horribly while also ignoring problems that would've sent anyone else straight to WebMD. This has been a pattern for me long before the gallstone made its demanding appearance -- when I was nineteen, I was diagnosed with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome during an immunization check-up. The doctor was shocked to learn that between 17 and 18, I'd gained 60 pounds.
"You never realized that something was wrong? Bodies don't just do that in six months." I knew something was wrong, but I had assumed it was what was due to me. I'd felt hideous for so long, and my body eventually became hideous. The reality was that I had a cocktail of dangerous hormone imbalances, genetically inherited, most likely.
The same thing happened again when I was diagnosed with clinical depression. It had gone unaddressed for so long that I assumed it was just part of me, that I didn't deserve to feel better.
My hatred of my body began when I was told it was inherently evil, bound to lead others into sin. It continued when I absorbed our culture's obsession with stereotypes of beauty, and it resulted in years of me actively abusing my body through eating disorders. This is a truth I've come to terms with, one I believe I've worked through (most of the time, anyway). What I didn't realize was that my body hatred caused me to passively abuse my body, through neglecting to heed clear signs that needed attention. In the end, the only thing that caused me to seek help for gallbladder attacks was that I'd missed so many days of work, my boss required a doctor's note.
Therapy has helped me transition from an eating disorder to a healthy level of self-acceptance. But it took my gallbladder almost rupturing to get me to face my passive neglect of my body, and figure out that it stemmed from the same place. I think I needed a problem so big it couldn't be ignored to call my attention to it, although I wish I hadn't.
As my recovery continues, I'm becoming more and more aware of my body and the things it needs. I'm doing my best to give it the attention and care it deserves, and I'm learning so much along the way -- like how to dig out the deep roots of self-hatred and bring them into the light.

Title of Bulletin Board: Balance is ...
Category: Skill Themes
Suggested Grade Level: 3-5
Materials: Paper to cover board and letters
We have been studying Balance in our P.E. classes. I taped 2 pieces of paper together (since I don't have a bulletin board) and put it up on the wall with the words "Balance is..." The homework assignment was to bring in a picture of balance. The students could either make their own picture/drawing, take a picture of themselves doing a balance, find one in a magazine or paper, or find one online. I have included time elapsed photos showing the first photos that I used and then as the kids bring in their pictures you can see how the board has filled up. I even had the Kindergarten kids bring in their pictures to explain balance. It has been a great but simple successful project.

When I read the email from the marketing assistant about The Dragon and the Needle, the plot sounded intriguing – a mysterious disease called ENDS (Extraordinary Natural Death Syndrome) is killing high-profile people around the world, seemingly by old age, and a British doctor and an American acupuncturist team up to find the causes and stop the deaths. My father is a doctor and my mother studied alternative medicine (we had great dinner-table discussion), so I was curious to see if I might learn something new about the relationship between Eastern and Western medicine. Unfortunately, the book didn't quite live up to my expectations.
The Dragon and the Needle begins with a bang and ends with a whisper. In the first few pages, we see someone assassinated, and then 80% of the book goes by before we see action again. For a thriller, this book has a lot of interpersonal drama, but not a lot of real conflict. Eleanor (the acupuncturist) and Mike (the doctor), who fall in love because they own a vagina and a penis respectively, are not badly fleshed-out characters – we get their whole resume of work history, as well as the plot-relevant information. They're actually pretty likeable, and made decent company for the sleepless nights I've been having recently, but their dialogue is atrocious.
Check out this section:
He [Mike] blurted out, 'Why are there so many untrained, medically untrained, people in Oriental medicine, especially in acupuncture? It's downright dangerous!'
Eleanor spoke in softer tones. 'And isn't it true that some "qualified" doctors hand out drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies with gay abandon?'
They totally aren't puppets for the author's beliefs, what are you talking about… they even have heroic lines when the author wants them to be action figures:
ELEANOR: I am already working for a better world, a healthier one. I want to save life and prevent suffering. Not kill and cause pain!
MIKE: My God! I'll work on! And I'll help find the bastards who killed him!
Their interior dialogue isn't all that great, either. What starts as a strong female character ends up being dependent on the male by the end. It starts with little slips, comments on Mike's strength, but before you know it she's crying on his shoulder, getting nervous as soon as she's away from him for more than ten minutes, and relying on him to rescue her from the bad guys at the end. How nauseating is this line:
Eleanor was standing near the window, her hands covering her ears, perhaps expecting more deafening shots. But instead she saw Mike coming towards her, dressed in uniform. A moment later they were in each other's arms.
Yick. Similarly, the book starts out sounding friendly to acupuncture and Chinese medicine, as well as Chinese people, but by the end it becomes a full-blown Yellow Peril narrative. Part of the definition of Yellow Peril is "The fear that [Asian people] would eventually take over and destroy western civilization, replacing it with their ways of life and values." This is essentially the danger revealed at the end of The Dragon and the Needle. The quaint Oriental phrases and Eleanor's defense of Oriental medicine throughout the book is superseded by clichés of Chinese cold affect, and the fact that (SPOILER) the Chinese are using acupuncture to kill people and bring the Chinese non-Capitalist lifestyle to people all over the world. Somehow Ah-Ming never thought that using acupuncture to kill people might make them less likely to trust acupuncture. I'm also not certain how killing certain celebrities (like the President's daughter? A random British noble who had been to China?) figured into their plan of world domination.
It's possible I'm expecting too much from an indie novel, and a new author, but I'm not ashamed of having high standards. If it was a draft, I'd say it's okay but the author needs to work harder to avoid clichés in the plot and the dialogue. And don't let 60% of the book be dialogue if it's going to be stock dialogue. And if you give a character a special skill, give her something to do with it! I was disappointed that Eleanor never got to use acupuncture to cure an important patient or find the cause of the mysterious illness.
The one good thing I can say for The Dragon and the Needle is that it was mostly free of typos (only noticed one), grammatical errors, and continuity errors, which makes for a smooth reading experience. I do appreciate that – readability isn't always something you can count on in the indie publishing world.

There is no disputing the cost that employee fraud - as it relates to the payment of workers' compensation - has on both large organizations and small businesses. To illustrate, consider a recent statistic from the National Insurance Crime Bureau: Workers' compensation fraud costs U.S. businesses of all sizes upwards of $7.2 billion a year or 20 percent of total work comp payments.
Unfortunately, smaller business seem more likely to be affected by work comp fraud than large organizations. The reason? They have smaller pools of employees and must pay higher premiums - they can scarcely afford - in the wake of job-related injuries. In addition, they often lack the resources to verify that a legitimate work injury has occurred or that a prospective employee has not committed fraudulent activity in the past.
"[Work comp fraud] does impact small businesses a lot," said Scott Doellinger, director of the National Insurance Programs for the National Federation of Independent Business. "Employees can jump from small business to small business, and the background checks and procedures for hiring aren't always in place."
Given this situation, is there anything that small business owners can do to protect themselves?
According to experts, there are four simple steps that small businesses may consider implementing to help fight work comp fraud/employee fraud.
- Create and enforce a zero-tolerance policy concerning work comp fraud: It is important to communicate to employees that fraudulent activity will not be tolerated and that all complaints will be investigated/reported to the insurance company.
- Maintain an active relationship with the insurance company: Work with the insurance company to make sure that those who commit work comp fraud are prosecuted and that any potential tips on problematic prospective employees are communicated.
- Take the time to both document and investigate any and all work injuries: Experts recommend writing down everything concerning a work injury and conducting an exhaustive investigation into the workplace accident. Don't rely on employee accounts.
- Remain vigilant in the search for fraudulent behavior: Remain on the lookout for potential indicators of work comp fraud, including accidents with no witnesses, so-called Monday morning accidents (they could have happened over the weekend), and claims by new or unhappy employees
Workers compensation fraud/employee fraud is a very serious crime. If you suspect that such a crime has been perpetrated against your organization, you should strongly consider speaking with an experienced workers' comp defense attorney.

Stay tuned for further developments in the area of workers' compensation defense law ...

It seems things continue to to from bad to worse to even worse for Vine star, Carter Reynolds as the social media (ex) star has now found himself being banned from VidCon and the purported recipient of death threats.
The ban comes after accusations that Reynolds is a rapist after a video leak last month saw our collective hero appearing to pressure former underage girlfriend Maggie Lindemann to perfrom extra curricular favors.
Carter Reynolds suicide. Vine video star stunt?
Carter Reynolds video twitter reaction: 'We slay the haters'
Carter Reynolds video: #WeLoveYouCarter fans pledge support, 'still our hero'
Carter Reynolds leaked video: Can I get a blow job from my ex?
Carter Reynolds defends video: 'Maggie and I were dating at the time.'
The ban in turn has led to the 19 year old social media icon addressing accusations against him, with followers in turn debating whether their hero is in fact misogynist and responsible for having put Maggie in hospital along with recent rants from Carter 'mocking' suicide.
Claims of death threats, being kicked out and allegations that he is a rapist has led to an avalanche of responses from social media, including new trending hashtag, #RespectForCarter, along with former heavily subscribed hashtags #WeLoveYouCarter,
#ReynoldsToTheEnd and even #WeHateYouCarter.
Addressing the ban against him, Carter Reynolds tweeted: 'I had to leave the marriott because people were calling the hotel giving me death threats, i'm honestly so scared right now.
"A girl stuck her middle finger in my face today and i didn't care but then she actually hit me in the face with her finger.. that's too far."

vidcon can stop me from going to their event, but they can't stop me from meeting you guys. it's the reason why i even came today. — Carter Reynolds (@carterreynolds) July 25, 2015
first they tell me that i'm a threat, and now they're telling me that i'm not, and they're just concerned for my safety… lol
— Carter Reynolds (@carterreynolds) July 24, 2015
the vidcon staff treated me like i was some criminal or terrorist. that was very rude and disrespectful for them to do. — Carter Reynolds (@carterreynolds) July 24, 2015
Some social media users expressed their sympathy for the Vine star but most did little do harbor their disgust with Reynolds.
One user wrote: "#RespectForCarter he deserves jail time, who cares if you're "twitter famous"? Imagine that being your little sister/cousin/family member."
Another added: "#RespectForCarter" why should we respect him when he has no respect for women?"
While a further Twitter user commented: "I don't respect a person who doesn't respect consent #RespectForCarter."
Just last week Carter said he was 'taking a break' from social media after receiving huge online backlash – however the break did not appear to last very long.
Here a smattering of responses that caused me to pique, see what you think? What do you think? Is Carter Reynolds finally getting what he deserves or is he just lapping up all the publicity and buzz?
he doesn't respect girls so why do we should respect him #RespectForCarter

Instead of showing #RespectForCarter, how about we show #RespectForOurselves and not applaud sexual harassment. THIS IS SO WRONG.
— Bethan Mary Leadley (@musicalbethan) July 25, 2015
I'll have #RespectForCarter when Carter respects women. #RespectWomenCarter
— Daniel Bostic (@debostic) July 25, 2015

I feel sorry, both for you and for me, that I can deliver no more Richard Burton. How I wish he had been able to see the reaction generated by those four columns (and videos); reaction both from you readers and from folks on the street. People thank me as if I had delivered flu vaccine.
I didn't feel, at the time of the taping, that I should try to squeeze a fifth show out of him. And I probably could have because, while downing his sixth diet soda in the green room after our four-part session, he talked out another delightful half hour.
And there's a bit more about him.
He was ailing during those shows, but I didn't know it and he didn't show it. He had been praised in the "Camelot" he was then appearing in for his "economy of motion" — a phrase that recurred in the reviews. Swinging the heavy sword onstage with a slow-motion deliberateness was effective in the way Kurosawa's ingeniously conceived slow-motion sinking to earth of a mortally wounded swordsman in "The Seven Samurai" — the dust slowly rising as he fell — was so inventive and effective. (And so flatteringly stolen in countless dramas and westerns thereafter.)
Few knew that Richard's limited physical ability at the time accounted in large part for those effective slowed motions. His "choices," as actors call them, were in part bred of pain. That "accomplishing the largest effect with the smallest effort" he referred to in our interview was not, in this case, entirely by choice. All this had been kept from public knowledge.
Shortly after the shows with him, I heard details about the illness from an actor friend of his. I think it was Richard Harris. A surgeon I knew, skirting medical ethics perhaps, filled me in: "The poor guy needs a bad operation." (Maybe not his exact words. He probably used the popular medical euphemism, "procedure." Sounds a lot more fun than "surgery" or "operation.")
"Don't you touch him!" I wanted to say. I asked what specifically needed to be done to Richard. It was then and there that I learned the chilling word "laminectomy." When I admitted to being "unfamiliar" with the term (and why don't we ever just say, "I don't know that word"?), the sawbones dropped euphemism dramatically: "We go in through your neck and take out part of your back."
If I didn't pale, it felt like it.
"Camelot" finished its run, and Burton was in Los Angeles, preparing for his surgical ordeal. I learned he was in L.A. the same day I was about to leave there for New York, and called his agent, hoping to pass on good wishes. Coincidence strikes again.
She answered with, "Dick Cavett! I simply cannot believe it's you calling!" She went on:
"Less than 20 seconds ago, I just finished showing the last of your four shows with Richard to a group of his brothers who've come over from Wales for the operation. Maybe 10 seconds ago. Your theme song is just fading from the screen."
(At a dinner with Jonathan Miller recently in London, we talked about coincidence. "Do coincidences mean anything, beyond just coincidence?" I asked the sage doctor. Miller, with unaccustomed brevity: "Of course not." Now we know.)
History shows, by the way, that the operation was a success and a pain-relieved Richard lived out the rest of his too-brief life span.
But before hanging up, I asked the agent if I could talk to one of the Burton brothers, wanting to see if he sounded like Richard. He didn't, of course. The lilting Welsh accent I find so pleasing to the ear was, unlike Richard's, unadulterated. He was a slyly amusing man and I laughed when he accused me of "calling from the next room," because of the uncanny timing. And he got off on a laugh.
"Ya know somethin', Mr. Cavett? We never knew Richard was so interestin'!"

MONTERREY, Nuevo Leon — The son of a top Mexican politician who aspired to be a politico himself, had become the latest victim of cartel violence in this city. He was shot by police in a drug deal gone bad.
The shooting took place on Wednesday evening at the parking lot of an HEB in the ritzy suburb of San Pedro on the Western side of Monterrey. Preliminary information leaked to Breitbart Texas points to 23-year-old Javier Cardenas Davila and two other young men who had been riding in a dark Range Rover SUV who had arrived at the area for a drug transaction.
Javier Cardenas is the son of Mexican Congressman Gustavo Cardenas from Tamaulipas. The elder Cardenas most recently tried running for governor of Tamaulipas but was unsuccessful in his bid; he finished as a distant third place in the election.
The younger Cardenas and his friends had pulled in to the HEB where they met with two other men who arrived in a small Mini Cooper. The men are described by law enforcement as the prospective buyers of the drugs in the failed transaction.
Authorities from San Pedro had been in the area and moved to question the individuals claiming they had been acting suspicious, information provided to Breitbart Texas by the San Pedro government revealed. The men in the vehicle tried to flee the area and in the process tried to run over one of the police officers. The law enforcement official fired at the oncoming vehicle in an effort to save his life and struck Cardenas in the arm and hand.
Cardenas was taken to a local hospital where his father and relatives arrived to care for him and even published a photograph on social media. The SUV used by Cardenas during the failed drug transaction had Texas license plates. Breitbart Texas was able to confirm that the vehicle had been purchased in San Juan, Texas by the Cardenas family.
Cardenas and the four other men are under investigation in connection with the failed drug transaction. It remains unclear if charges will actually be filed against the politician's son.
Editor's Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by "M.A. Navarro" from Ciudad Victoria and "Tony Aranda" from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon

When Hurricane Harvey touched down on Houston last year, few were prepared to deal with the aftermath of such a massive storm. Certain parts of the city had been hidden under nearly five feet of water.
Despite the damage, Houston was fortunate that so many were willing to give and assist in the city's recovery. Businesses from all over provided what they could. Stream Energy, from Dallas, provided aid to those who needed it and suspended charges to customers who were dealing with the storm.
Charitable efforts are in keeping with Stream Energy's identity as a corporate citizen. In 2016 they helped the Salvation Army raise money for survivors of tornadoes in North Texas around Christmastime, and they've developed partnerships with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross.
Stream Energy has worked with charities for so long that they've taken the next step and opened a new office to handle their philanthropic activities. Stream Cares will go on to promote the company's brand as one that identifies with charities while forming partnerships and organizing events to benefit those in need.
Kimberly Girard, Senior Event Manager for Stream Energy, said in a recent statement that associates and executives have been engaged in charities for quite some time. That's not quite so common in the state of Texas, but Stream Cares plans to challenge that.
One of the first partnerships Stream Cares has established is with the Hope Supply Co. Together they will host Splash of Hope, an event for homeless children. On this day children in need will get to spend the day at a local water park while also getting access to essential supplies and much needed financial assistance.
Then there's Operation: Once in a Lifetime. Stream Cares will transport and feed veterans and their families at a genuine Texas Luncheon, complete with ribs, steaks, and burgers. And as a continued show of support for members of the military, they will be providing financial support to those who need it.
As Texas is one of the lest charitable states in the country, Girard sees Stream Cares as an opportunity for the company to set an example for the local business community while also presenting the state in a more giving light.

Defend against accidents, break-ins, and natural disasters
Homeowners everywhere can benefit from the peace of mind provided by security window films. These films are applied to exterior windows, and come in tinted and non-tinted finishes, for ultimate customization and privacy options. Security films are an invisible layer of ultra thin film which are applied to the interior of a window's surface. The extremely sturdy micro structure of the films bond window fragments together, preventing widows from shattering in the case of impact.
We highly recommend these films for homes with pets, young children, or people who live in areas at risk from hail, tornados, and other natural disasters. Oh, and did we mention that all security films also block 99% of UV radiation?
Break-In Prevention
Having your personal space broken in to is every homeowner's worst nightmare. For robbers, windows and glass doors are generally a preferred point of entry, as they are the most fragile surface in a home. Defend your windows with Security window film from Scottish Window Tinting. Like a force field, security film bonds glass together in the case of impact, deterring and often preventing robberies altogether.
Accident Mitigation
If you have a home with rowdy kids, pets or both, you may have already experienced window breakage from soccer balls, baseballs, tennis balls, or other similar projectiles. Fun can become hazardous pretty quickly when glass is shattered, as glass shards can become projectiles or can be later trodden upon by unsuspecting feet. If your family loves their backyard fun, consider security film solutions. Bonding window fragments can help mitigate and prevent damage, and keep your kids and pets safe from the dangers of broken glass.
Security window film is an excellent investment in defending your home and loved ones… and helping you sleep better each night. From homes with rambunctious kids, to areas with unpredictable weather, to cities with high crime rates, safety and security window films from Scottish Window Tinting can help you drastically increase the security and privacy of your home.

Request for Proposals for CARTA Innovations in African Partner Institutions
The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) is a south-south partnership with a south-north collaboration jointly led by the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) and the University of the Witwatersrand. The Consortium was established in 2008 with a mandate to build a vibrant African academy able to lead world-class multi-disciplinary research that impacts on population health in Africa. CARTA wishes to support its African universities to mainstream and institutionalize its innovations into university programs and/or processes with a strong emphasis on documentation of the institutionalization process, impact and lessons learned.
Institutionalization of CARTA innovations aims to build university capacity to become knowledge producers and train the next generation of African researchers by strengthening and sustaining high quality PhD training; and building research-supportive environments by implementing activities that support high-quality research and training ). CARTA is inviting proposals from CARTA consortium member universities to institutionalize any or a combination of CARTA's innovations that are appropriate to the institution. The proposed innovations can be applied at University, School, Faculty, or department level. No more than two applications per University are permitted.

Author | Christ is All | Pastor
We wrote this short eBook Raised | Doubting the Resurrection for several reasons. 1. We wanted something brief and readable to give away to skeptics. After all, the notion that a man rose from the dead is pretty incredible! 2. We want to promote more gospel thinking on the resurrection for discipleship. After all, if Christ is not raised we are still in our sins.
