Beyonce Second Baby: 'I Would Definitely Like Another' (VIDEO)
Beyonce has admitted in a recent interview that she is looking forward to having a second child with husband Jay-Z.
The pop star, who gave birth to her first daughter last January, openly announced during an interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter" that she was looking forward to having another child.
"I would definitely like another," she told Oprah during a promotional interview for her upcoming documentary, which delves into the singer's personal life. The "Single Ladies" singer also revealed that being a wife and mother had changed her for the best.
"I would not be the woman that I am if I did not go home to that man," she said of her husband, Jay-Z, whom she has been married to since April 2008. "Just to have someone that you just like. You know? It's so important. It's someone who is honest."
One-year-old Blue Ive, who Beyonce described as "hilarious and smart," has also given her mother similar inspiration.
"My daughter introduced me to myself. Motherhood made everything make sense," the "Irreplaceable" singer added.
Although she admits to having struggled with weight gain during pregnancy, telling Oprah that she was surprised to have gained 60 extra pounds, she has also in the past described childbirth as a remarkable experience.
"Nothing can describe the feeling. You have the instant connection once you know your child is growing inside you, but when you hold it for the first time, the words can't be found," she told Star Magazine last year after rumors surfaced that she was pregnant with a second child.
While being clear on wanting more children, however, the singer still appears uncertain of how many children she would like.
"I definitely want to have more [children]! I don't know how many. God knows I don't know yet," she told E! News.

As a game console, Nintendo's Wii U console has gotten mixed reviews. But as a living room digital media device, it's clearly not ready for prime time.
Nintendo has made digital entertainment a priority on the Wii U. At launch, the device was able to stream videos from Netflix, and Nintendo added an application for Hulu Plus days later. Earlier this month, Nintendo updated the console with an app called TVii, which is supposed to turn the Wii U into a portal for all your living room entertainment options.
With TVii, Nintendo promises to integrate both traditional and Internet content, allowing users to not only stream movies from Netflix or Hulu, but also to control their TV and set-top box to tune in live or recorded programming.
With the app's "universal" search feature, Nintendo promises you'll quickly be able to find particular television shows or movies, no matter whether they're available on your pay TV service or on one of many different streaming providers. With its built-in social networking, you'll be able to comment on shows while watching them, via Facebook or Twitter. And thanks to the integration between the console and the controller, you'll be able to instantly switch between devices while viewing videos.
Unfortunately, many of these features are still works in progress, and TVii doesn't do half of what Nintendo promises it will do eventually.
Yes, you can use TVii to control your television and set-top box. But don't throw away your other remote controls just yet. TVii can only access basic functions on those devices, such as turning them on, changing their channels or adjusting the volume. If you want to do something more complicated, like adjusting your TV's brightness or calling up on-demand options on your set-top box, you'll have to go back to using those device's native remotes.
That's just one of the many limitations of the Wii U and TVii. Another is that you have only a small number of digital media providers you can access through the device. You won't find any digital music services such as Pandora or Spotify, nor video providers such as Crackle, Vudu or Crunchyroll. And unlike Sony's PlayStation 3 or Microsoft's Xbox 360, you can't supplement these offerings by using the Wii U to play DVD or Blu-ray movies or videos stored on a USB-attached drive.
Even the content you do have access to is limited in numerous ways.
For example, if you're using the TVii app, you can't search for or start movies from Netflix, because Netflix isn't yet incorporated into it. Instead, you have to fire up the Netflix application from the Wii U menu. Nintendo says that it will integrate Netflix into TVii sometime next year.
TVii does let users search for and access videos that are available from their pay TV provider, from Hulu and from Amazon.com. But TVii doesn't list videos that are available through Amazon Prime, the company's Netflix-like subscription movie streaming service. As with Netflix, to access Prime movies, you have to launch the Amazon Instant Video app from the Wii U's main menu.
Similarly, while TVii can tap into your set-top box's TV guide and show you what's on live TV or what will be airing soon, it can't access programs you've recorded on your DVR and doesn't include shows or movies available on-demand from your pay TV provider. Nintendo says it plans to add access to TiVo's DVR next year and is working on providing access to other DVRs in the future.
But even with live programming, TVii comes up short. The app would occasionally list programs I couldn't access because I don't subscribe to the channels they were airing on. On other occasions, particularly with sports, it would tell me I didn't have access to shows that I actually could watch.
On top of all that, the app's interface is frustrating and confusing to use. There's no discernible organization to the shows the app displays in its movie or TV sections, which can lead to a lot of swiping trying to find particular ones. Meanwhile, I often found shows listed in TVii's "live" programming sections that wouldn't be aired until minutes, hours or days into the future.
To be sure, the Wii U just launched, and Nintendo plans to continue to update the TVii feature. So I'm sure it will improve in the future. But right now, if you're looking for a digital entertainment device for your living room, the Wii U isn't the ticket.
-Likes: Ability to search for content across different providers, ability to tune in both digital and traditional content.
-Dislikes: Can't access DVR or set-top box on-demand features; doesn't replace remote controls for either TV or set-top box; not integrated with Netflix or Amazon's Prime service; offers access to a small number of digital service providers; can't play DVD or Blu-ray movies, videos stored on USB-attached drives; doesn't allow users to "beam" content to the device; doesn't offer access to any digital music services.
-Price: Free with the Wii U, which starts at $300

Hispanic Eligible Voters, by State
Using 2008 American Community Survey data, the Pew Hispanic Center has constructed demographic and socioeconomic profiles of eligible Hispanic voters in 27 states with the largest numbers of them.
Media, Race and Obama's First Year
As a group, African Americans attracted relatively little attention in the U.S. mainstream news media during the first year of Barack Obama's presidency — and what coverage there was tended to focus more on specific episodes than on examining how broader issues and trends affected the lives of blacks generally.
Former Census Director: Rewrite Race Question
Many Americans were puzzled or irritated by the questions about race and Hispanic ethnicity on the 2010 Census form.
Minorities and the Recession-Era College Enrollment Boom
The recession-era boom in the size of freshman classes at four-year colleges, community colleges and trade schools has been driven largely by a sharp increase in minority student enrollment.
Intermarriage: Trends and Attitudes
Rates of intermarriage have risen in the United States, but trends differ markedly for different race and ethnic groups, according to a new Pew Research Center report that makes extensive use of U.S. Census Bureau data.
One-in-Seven New U.S. Marriages is Interracial or Interethnic
This dramatic increase has been driven in part by the weakening of longstanding cultural taboos against intermarriage and in part by a large, multi-decade wave of immigrants from Latin America and Asia.
Census Data Point to Low Hispanic GED Attainment
Among Americans who have not obtained a regular high school diploma, Hispanics are less likely than members of other major U.S. race and ethnic groups to acquire a General Educational Development (GED) credential.
Electoral Participation in the 2008 Presidential Election
The Census Bureau today released a report summarizing levels of voting and voter registration in the November 2008 presidential election. Based on the November 2008 Current Population Survey Voting and Registration supplement, the Census Bureau reports that over 131 million people cast a vote in 2008, up from 126 million in 2004. The 2008 electorate […]
Latino Population by County
Updated maps of the U.S. Hispanic population by county are available on the Pew Hispanic Center website. They show population numbers, shares and growth for 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2008, using population estimates and Decennial Census data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The county data for 1990, 2000 and 2008 also can be downloaded.
U.S. Hispanics by Country of Origin
The Pew Hispanic Center has released 10 statistical profiles of U.S. Hispanics by their country of origin, based on self-described family ancestry or place of birth in response to questions on the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.

This passage comes to us from the "pool report" on Barack Obama's trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, yesterday. A pool report is sort of a cheat sheet for reporters, a summary of events written by a reporter who was present for those who were not. This one was written by Michael Powell, a fantastic writer with the New York Times.
As Obama was campaigning, he stopped in a bar called The Raleigh Times, in a building that used to be occupied by a newspaper of the same name. Powell writes:
Obama found himself momentarily beerless. As the primary season
has semi-bizarrely centered of late on his eating and drinking (he
stands accused of doing too little of either), he moved quickly.
"Where's my beer?" he asked, loud enough for the reporters to hear.
What's your pleasure, Mr. Candidate? He eyed an array of mighty
fine micro brews on tap, from the loverly amber Maharaja IPA to the
"naturally cloudy" Blanche Bruxelles. He zeroed in on the mass market.
"PBR [Pabst Blue Ribbon for the uninitiated]," he said.
An Illinois man recently asked to be buried in a casket in the
shape of a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but I digress. Obama held up the
pint, said "Cheers!", and quickly took a sip, then another, then
another. Having established he was a sport albeit not an inebriated one,
he set to working the crowd.
I don't know whether to be impressed that the Democratic nominee for president chose Pabst over all of those fancy beers or to be depressed that he apparently didn't finish his beer. (That's the kind of thing that could lose an election in Wisconsin.)
But I do think it's funny that Michael Powell, knowing his readers are from the national media, felt the need to translate "PBR" for them.
Who says the Washington press corps is out of touch?

Last week's stay at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs was lovely, and found us not in the Molly Brown suite but intrigued by it nonetheless.
This multi-room Tower suite — which includes a parlor and period furniture and has two balconies — is filled with rare photographs of the Unsinkable herself and pictures from her travels, and also has Titanic-related items, such as replicas of the china from the ship, with a menu from First Class. Rates start at $349 a night, according to the availability of the nights I tried to book online.
Brown visited Glenwood and the hotel after her husband, James Joseph Brown, struck it rich. She wouldn't have been able to have a drink in the cozy bar, because it has since been remodeled, but it was fun to hang out around the elaborately decorated spaces and imagine a different, more formal way of life. Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt also slept here.

Global Dimensions
The Israeli-Lebanese war in July/August 2007 was not only about Israel and Lebanon. It was also a proxy war. The USA wanted to deal a blow to its archenemy Iran, so it had its ally Israel attack the Iran-supported Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. And in the process it also used the UN as tool.
These are core theories put forth by Gilbert Achcar and Michael Warschawski. The Lebanese political scientist and the Israeli peace activist from the two "hostile states" joined forces to try to get to the bottom of the causes and consequences of the military campaign of July 12 to August 14, 2006 - the 33-Day War.
A whole country held hostage
The war was premeditated. This has not only been proven by US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, but has even been admitted in the meantime by Israeli politicians.
After Syria withdrew from Lebanon in spring 2005, Washington wanted to see Hezbollah disarmed – something that was provided for in UN Resolution 1559. But the power of Hezbollah remained unshaken.
What's more, in July 2005 the anti-American hardliner Ahmadinejad won the presidential elections in Iran, and in January 2006 the radical Islamic Hamas Party gained the majority in the Palestinian parliament. After these political setbacks, the USA wanted to at least "clean house" in Lebanon.
Washington and Jerusalem now only needed the right pretense. It was supplied by the Hezbollah when they abducted two Israeli soldiers on July 12, 2006. They wanted to exchange them for Lebanese prisoners, a tactic that had already proven effective in the past.
But this time, no hostages were exchanged. Instead, an entire country was taken hostage in an effort to force the Hezbollah to give up – a serious miscalculation on the part of the Lebanese militia.
War at the expense of the Israeli citizens
The Israeli government made an even more glaring miscalculation, however. The Lebanese population would not let itself be incited against the Hezbollah – the war neither weakened the militia (let alone disarm them) nor did it effect the release of the two Israeli hostages.
Israeli's leadership was completely unprepared for this turn of events. Their "colonial arrogance" and "racist contempt for the Arabs," in the words of Achcar and Warschawski, induced them to feel superior to the enemy without knowing or understanding it – a typical mistake made by colonial powers who cede the field to their military forces.
But, even in military terms, Israel was ill-equipped to fight this war. Accustomed to exerting "unilateral repression" against the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, the Israeli troops now stood face-to-face with well-trained fighters.
The civil defense facilities and supply systems for the Israeli population were in a correspondingly desolate state. Israel fought this war at the expense of its own citizens.
Instrumentalization of the UN
Why didn't the Israelis mount mass protests against the campaign? Because it was sold to them as a "war in self-defense" – ostensibly part of the global battle against militant Islam, according to the authors.
The UN was also harnessed in this "global campaign." The USA blocked any discussion of a ceasefire in the UN Security Council for three weeks – in order to "buy more time for Israel" the authors discovered. They conclude that this stratagem represents "one of the worst cases of paralyzing this intergovernmental institution in the six decades of its existence."
Resolution 1701, which on August 11, 2006 demanded a ceasefire, came out correspondingly one-sided. It provides for stationing additional international troops on the territory of the occupied country. "The whole resolution is worded as if Lebanon were the aggressor!"
This is what Achcar and Warschawski see as the genuinely global dimensions of this war, with implications reaching far beyond the Middle East: "The UN is being used as a fig leaf for military operations that Washington is conducting with NATO and other allies, the way it has been doing in Afghanistan since December 2001."
The account written by the Lebanese-Israeli authors is not a detailed documentation of the course of the war, but rather a comprehensive and enlightening analysis of the political structures behind the conflict.
Because these structures still exist, the book also points beyond the 33-Day War. Achcar and Warschawski assert that Lebanon has become Israel's Vietnam, something the country refuses to own up to. And they warn that Washington and Jerusalem are already gearing up for a second round.

The Whole Foods boycott -- much frothing on the Web
Poor old Whole Foods Market. As if that "Whole Paycheck" joke wasn't mean enough, now there are lots of shoppers who say they won't go there to buy things anymore.
To recap: On Aug. 11, the Wall Street Journal ran an opinion piece by the company's chief executive, John Mackey, in which he spoke against deeper government involvement in the nation's healthcare.
Americans, he said, should be responsible for their own health. Like, for example, by eating healthy food (of the kind Whole Foods sells).
"While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system. Instead, we should be trying to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward less government control and more individual empowerment," Mackey wrote.
That editorial led to a call for a Whole Foods boycott by a group called (aptly enough) Boycott Whole Foods. It says its membership now stands at more than 20,000.
There's a Boycott Whole Foods Flikr group. A Boycott Whole Foods Facebook page. (It can only be a matter of time before there are Boycott Whole Foods resistance songs.)
There are images: "Flickr member bluheron sends us this proof of her money being spent elsewhere," the Boycott Whole Foods site proclaims. It's a photo of a receipt from a different store.
"Keep the photos coming!...Send us images of … defaced WF bags, and images of picketing or pamphleteering. Show them you mean business!"
On the Boycott Whole Foods Facebook wall, tips are traded, losses shared: Where now, to buy Rice Dream ice cream? How to manage without the cheese?
"Wait -- is it a boycott if I just can't afford to shop there?" writes Richard.
Mark E Rosenthal, who started the boycott, posted as membership passed 15,000— and then posted an e-mail he received: "I see you've hit 15,000 members! What a glorious day! Unfortunately, I just looked up the "Care Bears" group. They've got 65,239 members."
An article at the Washington Postnotes that other company executives have spoken out against healthcare reform — such as Safeway Chief Executive Steve Burd -- "with nary a ripple." No surprise, it says, because Whole Foods customers are of a different stripe — more liberal and politically involved.
At The Big Money, writer Mark Gimein -- in a post titled "Has Whole Foods' CEO Gone Completely Bananas?" – says that Mackey is dreaming if he thinks people are going to radically change their behaviors:
"The solution to our health care woes, Mackey seems to believe, is for all of us to become like him—hyper-rational in evaluating our options, hyper-responsible in following through on them, and devoted to healthy living (that plant-based diet!).That, in a nutshell, usefully sums up just what we can't do. As a friend at the Wall Street Journal put it to me with a raised eyebrow, 'It's pretty strange to think that the easiest way to change health care is to change human beings.' "
At the Atlantic, Megan McArdle writes, "The CEO of Whole Foods is not allowed to have a different opinion from you on a national domestic policy issue? Rilly?....Here's why boycotts don't work: the vast majority of customers don't care. And yes, that includes the vast majority of Whole Foods customers, a surprising number of whom drive SUVs and even -- I swear! -- occasionally vote Republican."

The mischievous Houghton children used to sneak up to the third floor playroom after their parents went to sleep between 10:00 PM to 12:00 AM to play with the toys in the toy box built into the storage closet. One of the 12 Houghton children, little Augusta, an 8 year old girl, died when the maid gave her the wrong medication to combat the child's whooping cough.
During the years that the mansion housed a funeral home (NEVER a good thing in my opinion) and then another boarding house, perhaps an entity or two decided that they weren't ready to go to the other side and decided to stay behind to "help" the living and hang around to enjoy the ambiance of an upscale inn, not to mention enjoying the murder mystery show events sponsored by the inn, or being an unseen guest of any of the weddings and receptions which are also held in the mansion.

Also - a little further afield - in Park Hill (just outside Tahlequah), the Cherokee Heritage Center's museum is definitely haunted. You can hear a piano playing - even though there isn't one there. Also, if you're in the basement or away from the main gallery space, you can hear footsteps running around that area - even if you're the only person there. The ponies are also taken care of in part by Little People (they braid the entire mane in tiny little braids during the night, among other things).

Well my friend said he went out around where the kitchen lake bridge is and there was a dog in the road just sitting there growling, and supposedly its eyes were glowing, so they turned off their lights and the dogs eyes were still glowing, then all of a sudden the dog looked behind their car and started to yelp and then ran off, he told me they were too scared to go further down the road so they turned around and left
Hey, TOOLkid! Too bad about the purple church. I was really hoping to hear more about it. I was thinking about getting out to Kitchen Lake, being it is a little closer to home. What have you heard about it?
but anyways i also tried finding th purple church today, went to the area everyone keeps saying it is in and i went through some of the woods and never found it, although i came back home afterwards and looked at the pics of it and i think i was actually closer to it than i thought and probally should have kept going, the area i was in looked very similar to the area in the pictures so hopefully i will find it eventually or someone can give me a exact location of where it is in these woods, aslo it was very freaky on the walk to the woods shotguns shells were laid all over the gravel road

"Dominating" might be a slight stretch, but Brian Scalabrine is averaging 14 points per game and shooting a remarkable 77.2% from the floor and 66.7% from beyond the arc (Take that Ray Allen!).
Check out Jessica Camerato's column over on csnne.com to catch up on other Celtics, past and present, playing overseas. She has the scoop on E'Twaun Moore, Avery Bradley, Nenad Krstic, Von Wafer, Gerald Green, and Oliver Lafayette.
12 Responses so far.
Great post. I watched Lafayette's game with Asseco Prokom Gdynia against Galatasaray (which had Zaza Pachulia). He played quite well and became the spark for the team from the bench when his team needed it the most (down 15 points or so). They almost came back to win. Unfortunately he fouled out from the game.
14 points per game is actually pretty good in european leagues...
the much hyped up Rubio, playing point in the best team in europe averaged about 5 points and 4 assists per game last year
and in the italian league, the top 10 scorers this season only range from 17 up to 21 points per game (Von Wager is 5th with 19 points)
http://www.eurobasket.com/ is an ok site for europe wide top tens, but you need to pay if you want quality stats i think
Note: the top ten just has their surname, the second title is their team name, took me a while to work out their wasn't three guys called 'pepsi' haha
i read Jessica Camerato's column after posting the above and discovered more or less everything i said post Rubio bashing was already stated in the article...maybe she copied me...but just wrote it down first :P
It all depends on the team and the role/status of the player in it. You have to remember that there are 40 minutes of game,not 40. A starter may average 25 minutes per game so the stats are not as in the NBA. Also the assists are only counted when the guy that receives the ball is in a clear situation to score...that means that a guy who averages 4 assists here would like average at least 2-3 more in the NBA.
Finally the dynamics and rhythm are completely different. The game is more strategical, and dramatically more team oriented. Coaches are quite strict and if a guy shoots two in a row with still 15-20 seconds on the clock he will be benched no matter his CV.
It's the same game but played in a different style and with different mentality.
Concerning Rubio, he didn't play a major role in Barcelona last year. You also have to remember that Barcelona is way better team than Scal's team right now. It's not the same to play with CSKA, Maccabi, Barcelona, etc than other teams (it's the same in the NBA).
Finally, Rubio is not a scorer and experienced some insecurity and crisis with his shooting. He is mostly a pass first player
* sorry, I meant 40 minutes in Europeand 48 in the NBA (morning lapsus):D
yeah I'm in Australia Bohemian, so I understand the differences between Euro and NBA (much more Australians in Europe compared to the 2-3 in the NBA, only 1 or 2 members of our national squad play in Australia)
I probably should have been clearer in my detailing, I was trying to say that 14 a game is a really good number and comparing it to a player like Rubio who has what look like low numbers, but all the hype says they are good (and I know about his shooting, he's totally lost confidence!). And he did play 20 minutes a game, not as many as starting point as previous years, and certainly not their key scorer, but I would still argue he was a key player (and in a team which is consistently in the top 5 or so teams in Europe)
MF Scalabrini Bird; wht a player
DH says:
Scal looks good back in green! Red was not as flattering
Danya Abrams says:
Jesse Dampolo says:
Proof that Brian Scalabrine isn't just some chubby red headed idiot that has no clue about basketball.
Of course he is because he's a certified beast and the best ginger basketball player with the last name Scalabrine ever. I have such a huge man crush on this guy I can't put it in words. I love you Scal.

Ice Skating Through San Diego
Discover One (Or More!) of San Diego's Many Ice Skating Rinks This Winter
There aren't many places in the world where you can lace up your skates and glide along the ice, palm trees swaying in the Pacific Ocean breeze, and then step off the rink and onto the beach in the middle of winter. Such is the case, however, at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado's Skating by the Sea beachfront ice rink. Not only are you able to enjoy the sound of waves lapping at the shore but you will likely be swept up in the wintery cheer of it all – twinkling lights, festive music, and hot cocoa to start.
But the Hotel Del isn't the only place to ice skate this winter. Our beautiful city is home to several special holiday rinks as well as a number of rinks open year-round. Indoor ice rinks offer a variety of fun activities all year long, including public skating sessions, figure skating lessons, ice hockey leagues, broomball, ice polo, curling, and more. Some, like Escondido's Ice-Plex, even have special winter-themed events to help get you in the holiday mood.
While year-round rinks let you bundle up in thick socks and scarves even in the middle of July, San Diego's holiday rinks are nothing short of magical. Viejas Outlet Ice Rink, for example, is a seasonal favorite and boasts the title of Southern California's largest outdoor ice rink (even said to be bigger than the one at Rockefeller Center), where guests can enjoy shopping, entertainment, and a holiday water show all in one place. Poway's Community Winter Festival features not only ice skating, but s'mores, fun decorations, and even sledding! Or you might check out the brand new outdoor rink at Point Loma's Liberty Station, with all proceeds benefiting the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego. How's that for holiday spirit?

More Plaza shops to be open on Thanksgiving
Retailers hope to take advantage of lighting ceremony crowds
Midnight store openings on Black Friday at retailers like Best Buy and Macy's are almost tradition. Many stores, including Walmart and Target, are opening Thursday evening, not long after people have finished putting away the leftover turkey.
Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, which draws large crowds to its annual lighting ceremony on Thanksgiving night, has a growing number of stores that plan to be open for business for all those people.
The lighting ceremony, now in its 83rd year, started with a single strand of lights.
"It's something that become part of families' Thanksgiving celebrations in Kansas City and has been passed down from generation to generation," said Kara Lowe of the Country Club Plaza.
Ralph Liebetrau, the owner of Decori on the Plaza, said he plans to add the sound of cash registers to the annual tradition. For the first time, his store will be open from noon to 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
Liebetrau said he was hesitant about the decision.
"With places like Walmart opening up earlier that they did last year and Target and Best Buy and all joining in, you start hearing rumblings about protests and they're forcing it down our throats too early," he said.
He said the opportunity was too big to pass up, especially with the crowds expected on the Plaza. He said Decori will do 70 percent of its yearly business between now and the end of the year.
The Plaza said 11 stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Other stores plan to open earlier than normal on Friday, some as early as midnight.

Cholera is a serious and sometimes life-threatening infection that mainly affects people in developing countries, where clean water and other sanitation measures are hard to come by. If you live in the United States, the chances of someone in your family getting cholera are slim.
But if you're planning to travel to a foreign country, especially one in the tropics, it's a good idea to know about cholera, and how to prevent it. Taking precautions with your food and water is the best way to avoid the illness.
Cholera is an intestinal infection caused the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. This bacterium produces a potent toxin that binds to the walls of the intestines. The body responds by secreting large amounts of water, causing watery diarrhea, vomiting, and subsequent dehydration as fluids and salts exit the body.
As a result, people with cholera can become dehydrated very quickly. Untreated severe dehydration can cause serious health problems like seizures and kidney failure. A person who doesn't get the proper medical treatment might even die.
The good news is, cholera is easy to treat if it's caught early. Kids who have mild to moderate cases usually get better within a week. Even people with severe cases of cholera recover fully in a week or so if they get medical care.
Cholera is mostly found in hot, tropical climates — in particular Asia, Africa, Latin America, India, and the Middle East. Although it's rare in the United States (the last outbreak was in 1911), cases can still happen. Travelers from countries where cholera is more common can bring it into the country, and some people in the U.S. have become sick from eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico.
People get cholera from eating or drinking food or water that's been contaminated with the feces (poop) of someone who has cholera.
This is one reason why cholera is rare in countries with good sanitation systems. Things like flush toilets, sewer systems, and water treatment facilities keep poop out of the water and food supply. Cholera epidemics also sometimes happen after a disaster (like an earthquake or flood) if people are living in tent cities or other places without running water or proper sanitation systems. Less commonly, the bacteria that cause cholera are found in brackish rivers and coastal waters.
Cholera is not contagious, so you can't catch it from direct contact with another person.
When someone is infected with the cholera bacterium, symptoms can appear in a few hours or as late as 5 days later. Many kids with cholera have no signs or symptoms, but some cases can be severe and life-threatening.
Common symptoms of cholera and the dehydration it causes include:
If your child develops symptoms like these, especially after visiting an area where cholera is likely or common, call your doctor or get medical help right away. Severe dehydration can happen very quickly, so it's essential to start replacing lost fluids right away to avoid damage to internal organs.
To confirm a diagnosis of cholera, doctors may take a sample of stool or vomit or rectal swab to examine for signs of the bacteria. Rapid, dipstick-style tests are now available, which help health care providers in remote areas identify the disease more quickly and control outbreaks more effectively. All confirmed cases of cholera must be reported to local health officials.
Since severe dehydration and death can occur within hours, cholera needs to be treated immediately. Most kids recover with no long-term problems as long as they receive prompt treatment.
The goal of treatment is to replace all the fluids and salts lost through diarrhea and vomiting. For mild dehydration, a doctor may recommend giving your child an over-the-counter rehydration solution. Kids with more severe cases of cholera may need to stay in the hospital and get intravenous (IV) fluids.
Sometimes doctors prescribe antibiotics to treat cholera. The antibiotics are not as important as rehydration, but can help shorten the length of time someone is sick. They also might make cholera-related diarrhea less severe. Sometimes doctors may prescribe zinc supplements.
Anti-diarrheal medicines can actually make the symptoms of cholera worse, so if your child has cholera (or you think your child has it), do not offer them.
Some countries have cholera vaccines that can help protect people against cholera for a short while. Because cholera isn't a problem in the United States, the vaccine is not offered here.
If you're going to an area that has cholera, you can greatly reduce your family's chances of getting sick by following a few simple precautions while you're there:

Sources: Foreigner is 'person of interest'
Law enforcement is investigating a foreign national in connection with Monday's powerful twin bombings at the Boston Marathon, POLITICO has learned.
The foreigner, who was badly burned, was in the United States on a student visa and is considered a person of interest and possible suspect in the case but has not been formally charged or arrested.
Story Continued Below
The potential suspect is currently hospitalized.
( Also on POLITICO: Person of interest's apartment searched)
Several media outlets have indicated law enforcement is focusing on a Saudi Arabian national, but POLITICO did not immediately confirm the nationality of the foreigner drawing attention from the authorities.
At a Monday evening press conference, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said there was no "suspect" at Brigham and Women's Hospital, as other reports indicated, but he acknowledged that "there are people we're talking to."
President Barack Obama on Monday vowed that whoever carried out the bombings near the world-famous race's finish line would be found and brought to justice.
"We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts," Obama said in a televised briefing from the White House. "But, make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this, and we will find out who did this, we'll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice."
( See also: Full coverage of the Boston Marathon explosions)
Obama addressed the nation Monday evening after law enforcement officials tightened security at the White House and in Washington, New York City and elsewhere following the two explosions that rocked Boston near the finish line of the city's world-famous marathon, killing at least three people, the Boston police commissioner told reporters at a press conference Monday night. An 8-year-old boy was among the dead, reports said. The blasts injured at least 144 — some critically — and sparked fears of terrorism.
Obama was briefed on the incident — which he did not call a terrorist attack — earlier in the day. While Obama didn't use the word terrorism in his address to the county, the White House did.
"Any event with multiple explosive devices — as this appears to be — is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror," a White House official said. "However, we don't yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic."
The president, who learned about the explosions around 3 p.m., called Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and received briefings from officials, including Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco and other members of his senior White House staff, a White House official said. The FBI looks to take the lead on the investigation, officials said at the Monday night presser in Boston. Officials called it an ongoing criminal investigation that could, potentially, turn into a terrorism investigation.
( PHOTOS: Boston Marathon explosion)
The president was also briefed by FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The briefings covered the "active investigation and response to the incident in Boston, including the ongoing coordination with state and local officials, a White House official said.

A DISTRAUGHT mother has called for changes in the law after her teenage daughter hanged herself while taking a controversial anti-depressant.
Sharise Gatchell, 18, underwent a complete personality change when she took Seroxat, which hit the headlines just two weeks after the teenager's death.
Sharise's mum Stephanie said the drug 'scared her' and she asked the teenager not to take it again. But the Newhaven teenager secretly went back on the anti-depressant — and just weeks later she hanged herself while her parents were away for the weekend.
The Committee on the Safety of Medicines released a warning just two weeks after Charise's death saying under 18-year-olds should not be prescribed the drug.
The Eastbourne inquest heard Charise, of Lawes Avenue, was an 'extremely talented' artist, studying at Brighton's City College.
But her life had become blighted by depression and in the days before her death she refused to get out of bed and did not bathe every day.
'She once told me she thought she was depressed even as a child but it really became very noticeable during puberty,' explained Mrs Gatchell.
'She never, ever mentioned harming herself — she was more of a self-pamperer.
'The only time she ever harmed herself was the previous occasion she was taking Seroxat and she cut her arm.
'She went from being a shy introverted child to almost the class clown while taking it. It was a big personality change.
'That was the main reason I did not want her to go back on Seroxat. It scared me. In the couple of weeks before her death she was definitely acting strangely. But I had no idea she was taking Seroxat.
'She was aggressive, even hostile. And she was very, very depressed.
'There has been controversy around Seroxat for years. Why still take the risk? I know Charise asked for it, but I don't think people who are that depressed can be trusted.
'I feel cheated we as a family did not know about this. If we had known she was taking Seroxat we would not have gone away for the weekend. We would have watched her.
'There is something wrong with the law. Depressed people are not rational.
'I am very, very frustrated and sad that her next appointment with her doctor would have been the day after her death.'
Dr Zoe Nunn, who prescribed Charise the Seroxat, said the teenager had seemed 'fairly chirpy' when she saw her. And she said she was legally obliged to keep medical details private if the patient is over the age of 16.
Charise's parents found her hanging from the loft hatch when they returned from a weekend away. An empty packet of Seroxat pills had been left 'prominently' on her bed, according to coroner Alan Craze.
Mr Craze said he would be passing on the details of Charise's 'extremely tragic' death to the Committee on the Safety of Medicines.
'I know that this has been a shock for the parents that they will never forget. I know the time since her death will have been extremely difficult for them.'
He recorded a verdict of suicide.

Managing Projects in the Real World provides clear and actionable advice to project managers for recognizing, anticipating, and overcoming challenges associated with the human component of leading others. The mechanics of project management are rational and straightforward to learn. The art of project management is irrational and complex to learn.
Project managers need to develop a repertoire of soft skills that are typically hard for them, since they rose through the ranks to that position by virtue of superior reasoning skills. But if a project manager cannot adjudicate the clash of personalities, finesse the friction between assigned and preferred roles, steer clear of hidden hazards, and diplomatically resolve overlapping assertions of competing authority—that project manager is in a world of trouble.
From the human perils of project management, nobody is better qualified to rescue beleaguered project managers than Melanie McBride—veteran PM and author of the Intel blog, The Accidental Profession. She sheds light on those dark, dusty places that fall between the cracks of theory and best practice out in the real world where irate colleagues, unrealistic product launch dates, and virtual meetings reign supreme and run amok. In this book you'll find targeted discussions and specific techniques to empower you to meet the challenges that project managers face every day. The book is structured into project phases to help any project manager on any kind of project jump right to the tried and true solution for the challenge at hand.
What you'll learn
After reading Managing Projects in the Real World: The Tips and Tricks No One Tells You About When You Start, project managers will know:
How to execute basic project management tasks such as building dynamic schedules, developing risk management plans, holding others accountable, and conducting effective meetings.
How to navigate the tricky bits, such as unrealistic due dates and virtual meetings with multitasking attendees.
How to communicate effectively with project stakeholders and manage their expectations and different communication styles.
How to deal with stakeholders with classically difficult personas, such as bullies, micromanagers, visionaries, and prisoners.
How to continually improve in your PM craft and decision-making abilities.
Who this book is for
Primary: project, program, and product managers
Secondary: any team leader or director

Support grows for Medal of Honor
Boosters think they have ironclad case for Johnson's WWI heroism
ALBANY -- After a 93-year quest fraught with racial discrimination and hampered by military bureaucracy, boosters believe they have finally built an ironclad case to award the Medal of Honor to Sgt. Henry Johnson, an African-American soldier and Albany resident who fought with uncommon bravery in World War I.
"There is no doubt he should receive the Medal of Honor," U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference Tuesday in front of a bronze bust and monument in Washington Park commemorating Johnson's heroism during a battle in May 1918. The senator was flanked by representatives of the local black community, who hailed it as a milestone in their long struggle for posthumous recognition for Johnson.
"It's a very proud day. It's now a matter of when we get the medal, not if," said Morena Walker-Howe of Albany, widow of John Howe, a Vietnam War veteran and an African-American who led the campaign for Johnson's recognition for nearly a decade before Howe's death in 2005. His son, John Howe Jr., was recently deployed to Afghanistan.
Laying out "some absolutely compelling evidence" recently brought to light through archival research by his staff, Schumer vowed to press the case in Washington with renewed vigor. He said the newly discovered documentation fills the void in terms of burden of proof.
The most compelling new documentation is a memo from Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I, dated May 20, 1918. Pershing described reports that documented the "notable instance of bravery and devotion." That chain of command endorsement was the missing link in previous bids on behalf of Johnson, Schumer said.
The linchpin memo was uncovered by Caroline Wekselbaum, Schumer's constituent liaison. Although she is not a trained researcher, she uncovered the memo during an online database search on a commercial website, footnote.com, which has digitized millions of documents. She had no idea how previous researchers missed it.
"After I found it, I checked with the Army awards folks and they said, 'This is really big,' " Wekselbaum said. "I think with this memo and Sen. Schumer leading the effort, this is the best shot we've ever had."
Schumer will present three pieces of new evidence to the Secretary of the Army, John McHugh, a former New York congressman and friend of Schumer's. Medal of Honor applications often take months or even years of review by military officials. "But this is a special case and we will urge them not to delay," Schumer said.
The high bar of documentation for the nation's highest military award had stymied previous efforts to win the Medal of Honor for Johnson, who fought under French command because the U.S. Army was racially segregated at the time and blacks were relegated to manual labor.
Although he suffered from 21 wounds, Johnson, a sentry, fought with a rifle, bolo knife and his bare hands to repel a 20-soldier German unit. He was assisted by another guard, Neadom Roberts, who also was black. A testimonial read into the Congressional Record four months after the battle described "two brave colored boys fighting like tigers at bay."
Schumer credited the efforts of former Congressman Michael McNulty, D-Green Island, who attended Tuesday's event. "I'm very hopeful justice will prevail this time and we will get him the distinction he earned almost 100 years ago," McNulty said.
There is precedent for such a long hiatus between combat and award, set by Col. Theodore Roosevelt. The New York state assemblyman, governor and 26th president fought in the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba on July 1, 1898. He was granted the Medal of Honor posthumously on Jan. 16, 2001, by President Bill Clinton -- 102 years after Roosevelt's battlefield heroism commanding the Rough Riders.

Shenandoah National Park
Shenandoah National Park.
Skyline Drive, which runs for 105 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge mountains, is flanked by a rumpled panorama of forests and mountains. To many who drive, the highway itself is a park, complete with numerous deer sightings along the way. But the cars are passing the real Shenandoah. More than 500 miles of trails can be reached from Skyline Drive, and the Appalachian Trail roughly parallels it for nearly its entire length. The drive, following ridge trails walked by Indians and early settlers, transports visitors to a park built on a frontier that lingered into modern times.
Unlike most national parks, Shenandoah is a place where settlers lived for over a century. To create the 197,411 acres park, Virginia state officials acquired 1,088 privately owned tracts and donated the land to the nation on 26 December 1935. Never before had a large, populated expanse of private land been converted into a national park. And never before had planners made a park of land so used by humans. Before the park opened and during its early days, some 465 families moved or were moved from their cabins and resettled outside the proposed park boundaries. A few mountaineers, though, lived out their lives in the park and were buried in the secluded graveyards of Shenandoah's vanished settlements. Shenandoah National Park was built by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a government jobs program created during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Workers constructed the rock walls, overlooks, picnic grounds, campgrounds, trails, and the Skyline Drive. They also planted the mountain laurel that lines the road, and built more than 340 structures in the park, many now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The work of the CCC is commemorated by a statue of a CCC worker, Iron Mike.
Much of Shenandoah consisted of farmland and second- or third-growth forests logged since the early 1700s. Today the marks of lumbering, grazing, and farming have mostly disappeared, as forests have slowly come back.
Spring arrives first in the park valleys and then moves upward. Walking up a valley trail, a visitor can follow spring's path and see, in a single day, a variety of flowers that bloom elsewhere over a span of weeks.

Sunday morning the Lincoln
High School cafeteria was the place to be for a real stick-to-your-bones breakfast.
The local FFA chapter was
hosting a pancake and sausage breakfast with well-known pancake
maker Claude VanFossan flipping the flapjacks and a giant grill
outside manned by Scott Tibbs and other FFA parents and members
grilling up the sausages.
The day included a silent
auction and a live auction, with the caller being LCHS student and
FFA member Ty Tucker.
The FFA Alumni chapter was
also on hand, helping with the breakfast and recruiting new members.

The meal ticket was a freewill donation,
making it affordable for anyone who wanted to eat.
The live auction items included a thing or two
that anyone would have been happy to take home.

In my country there are many problems of the teenager. I think family is the first thing that is important for teenager. If the parents have the time for teenager to ask some problems and talk together so parents will know every problems and could help teenager to solve them. But if the member in the family do not have the time to talk together, when teenager have the problem they will talk with their friends. If their friends are bad they will order or tell that teenager to go to join the bad things that they have done before like drugs, thief and crime so the friend is important for teenager so much, too. If the teenager do not stay at home on holiday or in the night, spend more money and like to stay alone. Please take care them more to protect and help them from the problem that will be happen. Try to take the teenager to the some places that they do not have drinking, dancing or sex such as temple or museum. I think it can help them so much about their problems. Try to teach them to control their opinion their idea and every thing that they think. I think it is the best way because I have done it before. You can ask me about how to control and how to teach.

Some problems are serious problem of our world. Therefore, problems of teenagers are very big problems for 2 reasons. first,problems of teenagers affect everyone. They affect our society and econamy of our country. For example, fighting among teenagers in Bangkok make people get hurt and some people die. The government should provice a budget for solving this problem. Second, teenagers are the future of our world, since good teenagers can help deverlop our country and our world in the future. In conclusion, the problem of teenagers are big problems. We must help solve these problems sapidly. What are your methods to solve the teenagers'problems? Back to top liebeJoined: 16 May 2003Posts: 117 Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 10:50 pm Post subject: I know that the most serious problems with teenagers nowadays are irresponsible sex, crime, drugs, alcohol and other irresponsible activities. But there are other problems, too. I've never really had those serious problems, I've never used drugs, even when I had the opportunity to, I've never got drunk, I've never killed anyone, etc. My main problem as a teenager was loneliness. My family moved to the U.S when I was 14, to live in a small town. I went to a high school where everyone knew each other since kindergarten, everyone had friends and no one was interested in me. I was soooo alone!!! I hardly had anyone to talk to. I had no boyfriends, which frustrated me. I kept thinking "I'm not ugly, I'm not a complete idiot, I'm a friendly, supportive person. What's wrong with me??? Why is it that I have no boyfriend?" It seemed to me that EVERYBODY except me had a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Well, eventually I got used to being alone... Now I am no longer a teenager (good for me...), no longer in school. I feel much happier. I am excited about going to college, studying hard, meeting new people and finding a good job. I think that teenagers have all those problems because of our society. Our society creates this stressful environment, it creates an image that "if you are a worthy person, you are rich, beautiful, have many friends and all the boys are running after you". It frustrates teenagers when they cannot achieve this ideal. I've learned to create my own ideals and to follow them. I'd suggest other teenagers to do the same.

Images of the remarkable house and garden that Erik and his wife Irina have carefully modified over the years in Solana Beach will add environmental context to the objects in the exhibition. Gronborg's writing, another aspect of his rich creative life, will also be featured.

Public confrontations between the sports world and the media are nothing new, but social media can turn slow, drawn-out fights into instant brawls.
In the past week, three separate incidents swept across the internet, leaving two athletes with a whole lot of bad press and one Serbian soccer fan locked up in jail.
Incident 1: PGA troublemaker John Daly went on a Twitter tirade against the Florida Times-Union's Garry Smits after Smits wrote about the golfer's internal PGA Tour disciplinary record. The report came out on Wednesday, the same day Daly's new reality show premiered on The Golf Channel.
U.S. & World
In a Tweet now removed from the golfer's feed, Daly wrote, "here's the JERK who wrote the NON-NEWS article on the debut of my show --Call & tell him how we feel [number redacted] Gary Smits."
The story prompted the Wall Street Journal sportswriter Garey Ris to write about the increasing number of athletes who make themselves news by posting things "libelous, nonsensical or just plain silly."
Incident 2: In Serbia, a soccer fan was sentenced to 15 months in jail for endangering the safety of Serbian journalist Brankica Stankovic after sending her threatening messages via Facebook.
The fan, Stefan Hadziantonovic, was upset over Stankovic's recent documentary that claimed a connection between Serbian soccer gangs and crimes such as drug trafficking and murder.
Incident 3: Soon after Russia's 7-3 loss to Canada in Vancouver, a seething Alex Ovechkin tried to rip a video camera out of the hands of a Russian fan.
The video of the hockey star quickly made the rounds on YouTube -- and made a splash in the media. Deadspin even used Russian-to-English Google translation to bring a semi-coherent description of the incident to fans in the U.S.
One commenter pointed out on Yahoo Sports' Puck Daddy blog, "So he roughed up camera? Where's the news? Why is this even posted? Did anyone get hurt? Did the anything get broken? Was there any profanity? No. No. No. This is not news."
But that's the thing: Incidents like this have always made the news, they just took longer to come to a head.
In 1994, NFL quarterback Jim Everett attacked ESPN2 personality Jim Rome on-air after months of bad blood between the two -- Rome insisted on referring to Everett as "Chris" Everett, a reference to then-popular female tennis player Chris Evert. Seconds after Rome ignored a warning from Everett, the football player knocked over the interview desk and tackled Rome to the ground.
In today's world, Everett and Rome would have likely fought it out via Twitter before meeting face-to-face, and every sports blog would have given blow-by-blow coverage of each exchange.
The truth is, conflict no longer brews for months or years before some public display is splashed across the headlines. If an athlete or a sports fan has a problem with the media, there are twice as many cameras to get angry at, and a PR nightmare is only one mouse click away.

Making the right choice
We understand the importance of choosing a facility for you or a loved one. We go great lengths to make that decision a clear one.
Deciding the best way to care for a loved one is a delicate decision. Bearing the responsibility for the care of your loved one is a serious matter. One that can be overwhelming, full of worry and exhausting for everyone. We, like you, feel that the right choice is to move forward with what is best for the person in need and most often professional care is the best care you can give them.
Thoughts of moving our loved ones into a long-term acute care hospital triggers worries of what they may think of the transition. It is so important to weigh that against the responsibilities that long-term care requires. Consider the impact of 24/7 medical oversight with structured routines, medication delivery, therapeutic and social interactions.
Take comfort knowing that your loved ones will be treated like our family and be given the medical attention they need.

Yahoo advertisers received an email recently announcing up and coming enhancements including instant ads & geotargeting to the program. I know a lot of complaints I hear from clients about Yahoo Search Marketing/Oveture has to do with the length of time it takes for the editorial process. This is a step in the right direction. The addition of geotargeting will also be a nice addition and help local search advertisers.
It looks like even more changes are in store:
"This is just the first step. After all advertisers have successfully transitioned to the new Sponsored Search, we plan to quickly introduce many more innovative products, features and tools that will give you even more ways to connect with customers."
Loren Baker over at Search Engine Journal offers up more details.

Hydraulic dental chair, Europe, 1891-1910
The first hydraulic dental chair was invented in 1877 by American dentist Basil Manly Wilkerson (1842-1910). The chair was easier to adjust than the older wooden ones that worked using a hand-cranked mechanism. With a padded linoleum seat and head rest, the chair was also more comfortable than previous designs. As a specialised piece of furniture it is representative of the emergence of dentistry as a separate profession. The quality of the chair further suggests that there was a wealthy clientele willing to pay for dental services.

Muiño de Pena is one of the most impressive rural houses to be found in the beautiful Galician countryside. Treat yourself to a special night near the end of the pilgrimage (1.8km) or simply soak up some Galician culture in our Local History Museum located in a natural beauty spot located on the banks of the river Mera and only 6 km from Santiago Airport.
Transport from the pilgrimage or airport is free for all our clients with prior arrangement by phoning the house.
The 200 year-old windmill provides an opportunity to travel from the past to the present. See the past in the local history museum with its array of craftwork and antiques samples from the area's most traditional professions; milling, carpentry, metalwork and sawmilling, not forgetting the importance of linen production throughout the mill's long history. Nowadays, the mill continues to work powered by a turbine combined with solar panels, making a significant contribution to ecologic tourism and small technological details like mirrors that do not steam up whilst showering and a central ventilation system allow the guest to feel like they are travelling through time and mean that your stay at O Muíño de Pena will remain one of the sweetest memories of your Galician experience.
