Reuters has a piece on the seemingly more common practice of using a cellphone instead of a watch to tell the time. The thought process is, you have to carry your cellphone anyway, and it tells time, so why carry an extra phone?
The proliferation of cell phones, with their list of extra features, has had the knock-on effect of eliminating the need to wear a wristwatch unless it is to make a fashion statement.
Personally I still think a watch is more convenient. A flick of the wrist and you've got the time—no need to go rummaging past your wallet, through your keys and down into your cellphone to know that you're late to pick up your kid again (jeez, forty-five minutes in the rain one time and he won't shut up about it).
How about our readers? Do you go high-tech and sport only the cellphone, or are you more old school and pop a phone plus a watch/pocketwatch/Flava Flav clock around your neck?

NEW DURHAM — Peggy Starr, whose daughter was recently convicted of starving a young boy for several years, was indicted by a grand jury this month on a first-degree assault charge against the boy.
The Class A felony charge against Starr, 55, of 265 Kings Highway in New Durham, alleges that she caused serious bodily injury to a child while acting in concert with her daughter, Christina Thomas. The indictment alleges she and Thomas caused the child's "failure to thrive" by depriving him of proper nutrition.
The assault allegedly occurred between Aug. 1, 2008, and April 9, 2010.
Last month, a Strafford County Superior Court jury convicted Thomas of first-degree assault, for starving the boy over the course of several years at her New Durham home, while the child, now 9 years old, was under her care.
During the three-week trial that led to Thomas's conviction, witnesses testified seeing the boy deprived of food, being struck with a spatula by Starr, and being locked in a dog kennel in the basement while he was crying for food.
Starr is also facing three other charges relating to the case. She has previously been indicted on a Class B felony second-degree assault charge, alleging she struck the back of the boy's thighs with a spatula, causing lacerations, in December 2009.
The two pending counts of endangering the welfare of a child, Class A misdemeanors, also allege she made the boy sit naked in a snowbank, and placed him naked in a stream, in winter 2010.
A final pretrial conference for the second-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child charges is scheduled for 9 a.m. April 11 at Strafford County Superior Court. Jury selection for trial is scheduled for April 22.
Starr, who is currently free on $20,000 personal recognizance bail, is currently prohibited from having contact with the victim or his biological mother.
The victim in the case is the child of Thomas' former friend, who has a developmental disability.
The boy is now in an open adoptive relationship with his biological mother.
If convicted on the first-degree assault charge, Starr could face 10 to 30 years in prison.
Arraignment for Starr's recent first-degree assault charge has been scheduled for 9 a.m. March 28 at Strafford County Superior Court.
Thomas, after being convicted of first-degree assault last month, is currently being held at Strafford County House of Corrections with no bail. Her sentencing hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. May 15 at Strafford County Superior Court.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt; rather, it means a jury found sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.

I just love making these festive buntings. I made this one a little different. I used a lot of vintage fabrics (I love the bicentinial one) plus some fabric samples. I used red and blue vintage bias tape on the top. And, it's a bit longer than I usually do so I had to swag it. It's hanging over my kitchen widow that looks out to my flag.
I'll be back in a couple days for an Independence Day tour of my home, including the table runner I made to match the patriotic banner.

Nekroman Franc Adam
Visit : Official Band Site ,
Legendary psychobilly trio Nekromantix have released their ninth studio album, A Symphony of Wolf Tones & Ghost Notes. The Denmark-born band's latest delivers a timelessly gritty fusion of rock-and-roll, punk, and rockabilly. As the follow-up to 2011's What Happens in Hell, Stays in Hell, A Symphony of Wolf Tones & Ghost Notes also shows a darkly romantic sensibility shaped by their love of monster, zombie, vampire, werewolf, and B-horror fiction.
With his signature coffin bass and chilling baritone, frontman Kim Nekroman founded Nekromantix in Copenhagen in 1989. Nekromantix fast emerged as a feverishly cherished underground act, first unleashing their unstoppable debut Hellbound in 1989 and later turning out such acclaimed albums as 2002's Return of the Loving Dead (the band's subcultural breakthrough).
Now California-based and featuring guitarist Francisco Mesa and drummer Adam Guerrero, Nekromantix builds off a catalog boasting genre classics like "Who Killed the Cheerleader?" and "Gargoyles Over Copenhagen" to boldly expand their legacy on A Symphony of Wolf Tones & Ghost Notes.

One of theories about why Apple's stock had a run of down days was that BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk said carriers were going to fight back against fat iPhone subsidies this year.
When a consumer pays $200 for an iPhone, Apple collects $600 on the sale. The missing $400 comes from carriers, who subsidize the cost as a way to get people to pay over $100 a month on data plans with those $200 smartphones. Unfortunately for the carriers, this plan hasn't generated the sorts of huge profits they'd like to see.
As a result, carriers could, in theory, want to lower the subsidy. If they did lower the subsidy, then either Apple would collect less money per phone, or have a more expensive phone in comparison to its rivals. Either way, it's bad news for Apple.
There's just one problem with the theory, according to Bill Shope at Goldman Sachs: It's not going to happen.
Apple is ready to release a new iPhone (he calls it the iPhone 5) in the September-October time frame, and Shope says,"the iPhone 5 launch is likely to be one of the most important smartphone product cycles we've seen to date."
He's right. Everything is set up for Apple to have the biggest smartphone release of all time. It will be on more carriers than ever. It will probably release a phone that runs on LTE, the high-speed wireless network. It will probably get a hardware refresh making it look brand spanking new.
Add it up, and it will be hard for one carrier to suddenly cut subsidies. As Shope says, "We find it very hard to believe that a large number of carriers will lower subsidies and risk share loss during this launch."
Imagine if AT&T says to Apple, we're only going to give you $300. Apple, can say, fine, and make it a Verizon exclusive. Or, as a lot of consumers come off 2-year contracts on AT&T from the iPhone 4, they'll jump over to Verizon where the iPhone is cheaper.
Sure, the carriers could work together to lower subsidies, but that's illegal.
The carriers don't have a lot of room for negotiating leverage, which is why Piecyk's argument never made much sense.

When you are running your own online affiliate business, you will be focusing the majority of your time on driving as much traffic as possible to the product that you are promoting. The main reason you are doing that is because you will want to get maximum profits from your marketing campaign. Here are the reasons why promoting affiliate product that is proven to sell is one of the smart strategies that you should be using.
The 1st reason is that you will want to leverage on the merchant's effort. A successful merchant will understand that that the amount of income he is earning is directly proportional to the amount of income that his affiliates are earning. The merchant will continue to tweak his website till it got good sales conversion. It will be more practical to leverage on the merchant's effort as your main role is to market it.
The 2nd reason is that you will want to fully maximize the amount of profits from the traffic that you send to the merchant's page. Since you will be investing a lot of your time and effort, you will want to ensure that you get good return of investment. When you promote a product which has better sales conversion, this will means more profits for you. A 1% increase in sales conversion will mean that you will get 100% more income. Thus, it will be worth the investment of your time to find good converting product.
The 3rd reason is that you will want to protect your credibility and reputation in the business. It is generally true that products which have good sales conversion tend to be good products although that might not always be the case. Besides checking the product sales conversion, you will want to put in the extra effort to check the reviews of the product or even personally purchased the product so that you can review it personally. You will have more confidence in promoting a good product when you know that it will be helpful to the customers.
Here are the 3 main reasons why promoting affiliate product that is proven to sell is the smart strategy you can use to improve your profits. Be willing to work hard and work smart in your business as this is the only path to get real success.

World Background
General Info
Here is the Scarred Lands description found in just about every Scarred Lands rulebook published thus far. It will serve as a basic introduction for those of you with no familiarity with the Scarred Lands:
Introduction to the Scarred Lands Universe
The Scarred Lands were not always so. Less than two centuries ago, the world of Scarn was healthy -- its forests were green, its seas pure, and its very heart pulsed with magic. The mortal races toiled the land and hunted the beasts, building entire civilizations, stone by stone. It was no paradise, but it was a prosperous world.
Of all Scarn's beings, both magical and mundane, the most awesome were the titans. The titans were entities of monstrous power, and their strength was derived from Scarn itself. The elements of the world and the skies above nourished them, granting them near-limitless abilities. Given sufficient time and patience, a titan could sculpt islands and mountain ranges, cut rivers, and breathe life into entirely new species of creatures. If they combined their powers, they could create entire continents. Even so, they were entities of raw fury, forces of nature that lacked the vital spark that would make them into something more.
Mighty though the titans were, they were not yet gods. But their children...
Although philosophers have difficulty explaining just why and how it could have happened, the children of the titans were not truly titans themselves. Like their progenitors, they drew some power from the world of Scarn, but the remainder of their potency derived from another source. They drew the greatest portion of their strength from the world's mortal races, feeding on the intensity of belief and on the vibrant mortal condition. The power these children called from the mortal races made them something new, something better. It made them gods.
The gods' enviable connection to the mortals of Scarn was destined to set them against their parents. For although the titans were at one with the essential elements of heaven and earth, they cared little for the world in their charge. If a titan was disappointed with how a coastline developed, he thought nothing of reducing it to sand with a series of tidal waves, cleaning the slate. If a titan grew bored with the thriving mortal races in her domain, she might give birth to horrific monsters to make things more "interesting."
The gods, who felt the suffering of the mortal races to their very souls, decided that the titans' reign had to end. Even the cruelest of the gods realized that if the titans were to cleanse the world of mortals on a whim -- a very real possibility -- loss of the mortals' faith and vitality would cripple the gods. So these celestial lords met in secret and plotted rebellion. When Denev, the titan of the earth itself, spoke out against her brethren, the gods took it as a sign -- and the Titanswar erupted.
Eight gods and one titan went to war against a dozen other titans. The revolution shook the heavens' pillars, shattered the blazing iron streets of hell, and raged across the face of the world. Under the force of combatants' blows, mountains split into rubble-strewn plains. Islands sank as warriors used them as stepping stones. Gods and titans alike spawned races of monsters and humanoids as foot soldiers in their feud. And divine blood spilled across Scarn, warping the very land.
Terrible though the war was, it finally came to an end. With the help of Denev, the gods were victorious. They could not kill the titans, once and for all, however -- not even they possessed such power. Each titan had to be restrained or imprisoned, prevented from regaining his strength and seeking revenge. The gods pulled the teeth from Gaurak the Glutton before burying the Ravenous One beneath the earth, ensuring that he could not chew his way out. They cut Mormo the Serpent Mother into pieces, scattering the parts far and wide so the Queen of Witches could not reform. And so the gods dealt with each titan in turn, stripping them of their power and sealing them away.
Now, Scarn is no longer the world it once was. The land bears horrible scars where gods felled titans. The Kelder Mountains are split with chasms left by a heavenly axe. The Hornsaw Forest has grown gnarled and twisted after feeding on the spilled blood of Mormo. Great deserts and badlands linger where verdant fields once lay. An entire sea runs red with the blood of a titan who lies chained at its depths. The world has twisted and changed wherever the titans or their dismembered remains lie. Many of the monstrous races created by the titans and gods during the war still survive in the gouged reaches of the land. Those races favored by the gods prosper. The titans' chosen are less fortunate, watching and waiting from their wilderness exile, plotting to restore their fallen patrons.
Scarn is no longer. To many of its inhabitants, it is now simply the Scarred Lands -- a wounded world that has yet to heal.
But there is hope. Cities begin to prosper once again under the watchful eyes of their patron deities. Mortals sharpen their skills of war and magic, the better to hunt the monstrous beasts that prey upon the weak and injured. The followers of the gods are ever vigilant, careful that the titans' scattered minions do not succeed in restoring their heartless lords. The Scarred Lands are a place of fierce barbarism and intense struggle -- and yet, the mortal races aspire to something much greater. With good fortune, bravery, sorcery and skill -- and no small amount of providence -- perhaps the Scarred Lands can be rebuilt. Perhaps Scarn can be restored.
But first, the heroes of the Scarred Lands must survive.

Printed Electronics
Meyer Burger sells Meyer Burger (Netherlands) B.V. to Süss MicroTec.
Inkjet Printing with silver ink
Silver nano-particle ink is the most common type of conductive ink, often used for conductive tracks.
Silver inks are available from a multitude of commercial suppliers, each with their specific characteristics. Inks are optimized for use with different printhead, adhesion and wetting on different substrates (eg PET, PEN or glass). Some suppliers even offer application specific optimization of their ink.
Conductivity of silver inks can reach up to 50% bulk conductivity after sintering, which can typically be done at relatively low temperatures (as low as 120°C) using either thermal or photonic curing. Gold and copper nano-particle inks are also being developed, although less common than silver.
Meyer Burger can advise in selecting the right ink and supplier for your application.
Another important group of materials are inks that replace ITO as a transparent electrode. With inkjet printing those materials can directly be deposited in a patterned and very thin layer. The organic conductor PEDOT is a well-known material, available from a number of commercial suppliers.
Recently silver nanowire materials have been developed with a higher conductivity, especially when mixed with PEDOT.

They said that the bullet-riddled bodies of the two

An apparent own goal by fallen NSW Labor powerbroker Joe Tripodi in his government's dying days was the "ultimate act of betrayal", former premier Kristina Keneally says.
The long-running Independent Commission Against Corruption's (ICAC) cash-for-favours probe on Monday diverted its attention from alleged corruption in Liberal ranks as Mr Tripodi, Ms Keneally and ex-NSW Labor Treasurer Eric Roozendaal followed one another into the witness box.
The ICAC has heard claims Nathan Tinkler's Buildev funded a smear campaign against sitting Newcastle MP Jodi McKay because she opposed a proposed coal-loader that would have been worth a fortune to the company.
Central to the alleged plot was the distribution of a pamphlet, headed 'Stop Jodi's Trucks' which claimed a rival plan favoured by Ms McKay would clog suburban streets with 1000 trucks a day.
Mr Tripodi has admitted contributing to the leaflets but denies he was doing Buildev's bidding to try to set up a career after politics.
He said any assistance he gave Buildev was because "I'm an obliging type of person."
Giving evidence on Monday, Ms Keneally said she had a good idea what she might have said had she learned of Mr Tripodi's manoeuvres.
"I'm not entirely sure the language I would have used should be repeated in this room," she said.
"It is an ultimate act of betrayal for a member of the Australian Labor Party to campaign against or work against an endorsed member, an endorsed candidate.
"It just is unthinkable."
She said she confronted another high-powered Labor figure, Mr Roozendaal, about the damaging leak of a treasury document to Ms McKay's local paper but he "emphatically" denied having a hand in it.
"He was furious that he appeared to be implicated in that," Ms Keneally said.
Mr Roozendaal himself has finally had his turn in the ICAC witness box after spending weeks in the public gallery.
Under questioning from counsel assisting, Geoffrey Watson SC, he said Mr Tripodi had approached him as early as September 2010 about Buildev's plans for a coal-loader at Mayfield, on the Newcastle foreshore.
"He was advocating, in a sense, for their proposal," he said.
"I believe he thought it had some merit and it was worth investigating."
He believed the Buildev proposal did not preclude the development of a container terminal at the same site, he said.
But Mr Tripodi never floated the possibility of another company being involved.
Mr Watson asked Mr Roozendaal whether it was good government policy to only consider a medium sized local company for a major infrastructure project.
"Well they were the only company that had the lease on that particular site," Mr Roozendaal replied.
He denied destroying email records of his discussions about the Mayfield site, and is expected to be questioned further on the subject when he returns to the witness box on Tuesday.
Due to give evidence on Tuesday is Chris Hartcher, one of the former Liberal MPs forced onto the NSW Parliament crossbenches over corruption allegations.

All Tomorrow's Parties (Curator)
About All Tomorrow's Parties
All Tomorrow's Parties is an organisation based in London that has been promoting festivals and concerts throughout the world for ten years.
It was founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 in preparation for the first All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the line-up of which was curated by Mogwai and took place in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands. Since then the festival has appeared every year, and continues to set itself apart from festivals like Reading or Glastonbury by staying intimate, non-corporate and fan-friendly. Another vital difference is that the line-ups are chosen by significant bands or artists, resulting in unpredictable and exciting events which combine performances by legendary and influential acts with appearances by the latest crop of experimental artists from any (and every) musical genre.
The All Tomorrow's Parties festival has become more successful with every passing year, moving in 2006 to a larger holiday camp. It has taken place in the UK, USA and Australia, and has been curated by the following artists: The Flaming Lips, The Breeders, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mike Patton & Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Explosions In The Sky, Pitchfork Media, Portishead, Dirty Three, Sonic Youth, The Shins, Sleater Kinney, Dinosaur Jr., Devendra Banhart, Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Mars Volta, Vincent Gallo, Slint, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Stephen Malkmus, Mogwai, Tortoise, Shellac, Autechre, Modest Mouse, and Simpsons' creator Matt Groening.

The Scientists live at ATP-2010
This past September WFMU traipsed up to Kutshers Resort in Monticello, New York for a third yearly broadcast of the grand All Tomorrow's Parties, and we were especially excited to be plugging in the recorders Friday night as we'd landed permission from Kim Salmon to broadcast and archive the legendary Scientists! Starting off as a Perth-based punk band of the 70s, a move to Sydney in the 80's (and eventually London) found the Scientists morphing into one of the best Australian bands of all time. Like kindred spirits the Gun Club, and fellow countrymen the Birthday Party, Salmon and company defined blooze-ooze and gutter dwelling while equally purveying a lofty sense of style and poetry; their timeless nature easily defined by putting on a platter like Blood Red River (played in its entirety this night), or seeing their image floating around the DNA of later bands like Mudhoney, Chrome Cranks, Blues Explosion and many more. At ATP, we heard rumors of minimal (or no) rehearsal, but from the first scrape of "Set It On Fire" the timespan seemed nonexistent and Salmon's yowl no less bone-rattling. Take a dig via the Free Music Archive, where you can check out more archived sets from WFMU's 2008, 2009 and 2010 broadcasts. You can also check the WFMU site and stream of some of the non-downloadable sets we aired from this year here, including Hallogallo, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney and White Hills.

Dungen Live at ATP-NY 2010
Swedish psychedelic rock band Dungen (pronounced "dune-yen", not "Dungeon", as your Stryper-loving stepbrother may refer to them as) performed an awesome set at the Jim Jarmusch curated ATP last month in Monticello, New York.
While the set covered most of the band's discography, it centered around the group's awesome new LP, Skit i allt, which in English humorously translates to "Fuck it all." That title may have been a bit more appropriate for frontman Gustav Ejstes' early days as a hip hop artist, but there's something about it that's perfect for Dungen's music, which to me occasionally sounds like Eureka-era Jim O'Rourke playing with Selling England By The Pound-era Genesis.
Maybe only I hear that combination... but to me that sounds... awesome! Dungen can be a bit proggy, they can be a bit folky, a bit metal, and sometimes it even seems like in any minute Karen Carpenter might come up and grab the microphone from Gustav and start singing a Burt Bacharach-penned number, especially on "Marken Lag Stilla", from the newest album.
"Mina Damer Och Fasaner", from 2008's 4, was a particular highlight from the set, recalling Gentle Giant and Peter Gabriel (in a good way) and has been made available to download via WFMU below, engineered by Ernie Inradat. Unleash your inner prog nerd!

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwire - Nov. 26, 2012) - WESTCORE ENERGY LTD. (TSX VENTURE:WTR) ("Westcore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an initial coal resource evaluation from the first four drill programs at the Black Diamond Coal Property ("Black Diamond") located near The Pas, Manitoba. Black Diamond is jointly held by Westcore and Goldsource Mines Inc., 75:25 respectively.
The Black Diamond Coal Property resource evaluation (or the "Evaluation") was completed by Heartstone Consulting Ltd. and was prepared in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The lead author of the Evaluation is Peter Graham, P.Geo., who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of NI 43-101 and is independent of the Company. Mrs. Ellen MacNeill, P. Geo., is a co-author of the Evaluation. The Evaluation has been filed on SEDAR and is also available for download on the Company's website.
The Evaluation contemplates coal resources at the Discovery, Cyclops, Ambit, Athena and Calypso deposits. These resources have been classified according to the "CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves: Definitions and Guidelines" (November 2010). Accordingly, the resources have been classified as "Measured", "Indicated" and "Inferred".
The foregoing resources are further additions to resources recently reported on the Company's Panther Property (60% owned by Westcore), where the following resources were recently announced in respect of the Company's Quasar Deposit (for further details, please refer to the Company's news release dated October 29, 2012 and the corresponding filing of the NI 43-101 report on the Panther property, which is available under the Company's corporate profile on SEDAR):
Paul Conroy, President and CEO of Westcore, states "We are very pleased with the initial evaluation of coal resources from Black Diamond. Estimates of approximately two thirds of the overall tonnage in the Measured category and strip ratios of these proportions provide further positive encouragement for the potential mining of Black Diamond. These resource calculations, together with the initial resources recently declared on our Panther Property, further firm up the prospects of development of our area play. We are encouraged by these results and excited at the prospect of further expanding on the coal resources at Black Diamond and Panther with drilling on Luna and other untested targets in future drilling programs."
The database used to generate the resources from Black Diamond consisted of 44 exploration holes, of which 32 were diamond drill holes and 12 were rotary drill holes. Exploration holes were supplemented by airborne geophysical survey data. Seam and overburden thickness isopach and seam structure contour maps were manually generated from drill hole data on each deposit. Generated coal and overburden contours were digitized and entered into a computer based polygonal modelling program for volume determinations Coal seam volumes were computer generated separately for Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories. Coal tonnages were calculated by multiplying the coal volumes by 1.4 g/cc. Overburden volumes were also computer generated separately for Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories. Measured resources correspond to coal within 150 m of a drill hole where the adjacent drill hole also intersected the same seam. The fringe area outside the ring of drill holes and to the implied subcrop has been assigned to the Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories on the following basis: coal is assigned to the Measured category for the area 50 m outside the ring of drill holes, Indicated Category for the ring from 50 to 100 m beyond the ring of drill holes, and Inferred category for the area outside the 100 m ring and the estimated subcrop line. Minimum coal thickness is 1.5 metres, coal subcrop delineations were determined through geological interpretation of airborne geophysical survey data supplemented by seam thickness and structure contour mapping.
Peter Graham, Professional Geologist, is the independent Qualified Person pursuant to NI 43-101 who was responsible for the Evaluation and review of the technical contents of this news release.

Top 10 Motorcycle Hacks
1. Coat Hanger Cruise Control
Have you ever had a really long freeway ride ahead of you and wished you had cruise control like the cool sport-touring bikes we recently tested? Well, by simply scavenging a piece of clutter from your closet, you can create a friction lock for your throttle. Cut the long side off of a wire coat hanger and bend it in half over your throttle grip. Take a pair of locking pliers and clamp the two pieces together about a half inch over the brake lever. Now, twist the wire with the pliers, safety wire-style, until the coat hanger creates enough friction with the grip to overcome the throttle-return spring and hold it in place against the brake lever. Once you're certain there is enough friction, trim the wire to length and file off the sharp edges. If this sounds a little too permanent for your tastes, wrap the coat hanger around the throttle 1.5 turns and use a rubber band to hold the wires together. When you no longer need it, just unwind the wire.
We're sure we don't need to tell you that you'll need to roll off the throttle manually when you want to slow down, but we just did, anyway, to keep the lawyers happy.

Photos Of Tamerlan Tsarvaev – Dead Boston Bombing Suspect [PICTURES]
Tamerlan Tsarvaev, one of the Boston Marathon Bombing suspects was killed last night. His 19 year old brother is still at large. Police are executing an enormous man-hunt to track down the alleged bomber.
Friends of the suspects describe the two as quiet, normal, nice kids. The suspect still at large is said to be an extremely successful high school wrestler who received a scholarship offer for his skills on the mat.
It's being reported that they found explosives and a detonation device attached to Tamerlan's body at the coroner office. The killed suspect has an athletic background as well. He was a New England golden glove boxer who looks no different than you and I in the photos below. The first photo shows Tamerlan wrapping the hands of a woman who was, at one point, dating Tamerlan.

Celine Dion is arguably the most famous Canadian musician of all. So why didn't she appear during one of the most significant cultural events in her country's history — the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics games — alongside fellow famous Canadian musicians including Sarah MacLachlan, Nelly Furtado, Michael Buble and k.d. lang?
A rep for Celine tells Access exclusively that her absence indeed did have something to do with her fertility attempts – but it's not what several online reports have speculated.
Celine never planned on participating in the Opening Ceremony.
However, her rep says that she was indeed approached several times beginning a couple of years ago. But she always said, 'No,' because she thought she'd either be pregnant or be mom to a newborn.
Coincidentally, Celine was just in New York last week for fertility treatments.
Last week, Celine announced that she would launch a new three-year residence at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, beginning in Las Vegas, March 15, 2011.
And the 2011 start date allows Celine the chance to try for motherhood once more.
The star has one child, son Rene-Charles, now 9. In December, Celine opened up to Access about her struggle to have a sibling for her son.
"We are trying to have a second child and we hope to be blessed again as parents," she said at the time. "We were [pregnant in August]. It was positive…[but] it was not staying. That is why we are trying again."

The 31-year-old right-back is out of contract at the Emirates this summer, which means Inter and any interested foreign suitor has been allowed to talk to him since January.
Thohir has now revealed that they are waiting to hear from Sagna as to whether he will be making the move to the San Siro.
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter chief Thohir revealed: "I'm not used to making announcements if there is not a signed contract.
"I can only say that we like Sagna and that at this point it all depends on him. If he does not arrive, we will take a younger right-back."
Sagna is still in talks with Arsenal about a possible new deal, whilst Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea have been linked with the Frenchman.
Thohir admitted an interest in both Fernando Torres and Edin Dzeko.
"Where we will make the most important investment? It will be made in attack or midfield. (A return of) Eto'o? In attack we have [Rodrigo] Palacio, who is over 30 and [Maruo] Icardi who is very young, so the other striker has to be in the middle age."
Asked about Dzeko, Torres and Morata he replied: "I too hear these names. Maybe one of them will really arrive. But he must respect our salary parameters."

Feliz, Ogando bypass arbitration with Rangers
Pitchers strike one-year pacts to avoid hearings; club, Moreland exchange figures
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have avoided arbitration with pitchers Neftali Feliz and Alexi Ogando and exchanged salary figures first baseman Mitch Moreland, their only remaining arbitration-eligible player.
The Rangers signed Feliz, 25, to a one-year, $3 million contract to avoid an arbitration hearing. Feliz, who is the leading candidate to be the Rangers' closer, made $2.9 million last year while appearing in five games in September. He missed most of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Ogando, 30, agreed to a $2.625 million deal for 2014. He made $506,600 last season while going 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 18 starts and five relief appearances. The Rangers are planning on using Ogando as a starter again this season.
The Rangers offered Moreland $2.025 million, while he is asking for $3.25 million. Moreland made $502,700 last year as the Rangers' first baseman while hitting .232 with 23 home runs and 60 RBIs. He is the leading candidate to be the designated hitter after Texas acquired first baseman Prince Fielder from the Tigers.
The Rangers are in the process of trying to work out an agreement with Moreland that would keep them from going to an arbitration hearing for the first time since 2000. Hearings will be scheduled for Feb. 1-21.
The Rangers have already agreed on 2014 contracts with two other arbitration-eligible players in pitcher Neal Cotts and infielder Adam Rosales. In addition, the Rangers have pitchers Derek Holland and Matt Harrison and infielder Elvis Andrus signed to long-term deals that kept them from going through the arbitration process this winter.

Mark Hillman's reason for not going for governor has arrived
Republicans dreamed about Mark Hillman stepping in to run for governor should there be a vacancy, but one reason Hillman wasn't interested made his debut Friday.
Matthew Douglas Hillman was born at 4:38 p.m. Sept. 10, joining his brother Luke, who just turned 2, his dad and his mom Heidi.
Hillman, a former state senator and treasurer who farms in Burlington, was discussed as a gubernatorial candidate should Scott McInnis or Dan Maes win the August primary and step aside, creating a vacancy. Some Republicans argued both were too ethically challenged to beat Democrat John Hickenlooper in November, and Hillman could effectively debate state issues.
They even had a slogan: Send a farmer to Denver.
Maes edged McInnis but refused to drop out.

Monday we made the 45 minute drive to Mont Saint Michel, an old abbey on the top of a rock. Pretty cool place, but we have seen so many churches, fortresses, palaces, abbeys and cathedrals that they are all starting to look the same. The interesting thing about this place was that it was built on top of a huge rock in the ocean, so before the road was built you could only get there when the tide was out. At certain times of the day it is still surrounded by water. Check out the warning sign for the parking lot. There are over two hundred steps, and a long uphill climb to make it up to the abbey, and then many winding staircases and extra steps while touring it, so we definitely got our workout for the day. This place was so crowded and supposedly, we are at the end of tourist season. They say around here it is from July 1-August15. I can't imagine this place in the middle of a hot July. Our weather was perfect.
They had a cistern at the top of the abbey, I guess for fires and their basic drinking water. So to get the water up there they used a huge wheel that the monks walked on to make it move to lift the water up to the cistern. Pretty ingenious.
Afterwards, we headed back to the cottage, where I still needed a nap to recover from the jet lag. The afternoon, after it gets warm, just makes me so sleepy! We headed down to the port and ate dinner. The tide stays out all day here and the oyster beds are exposed to the sun, and the boats sit in the mud. Then in the evening the tide covers the oyster beds and the boats float once again. It really is an amazing sight to watch.

'I want to do it again!' Celebrating 100 years…
Drive through Story City in the summer and you will hear the same tune that's been playing for 100 years -- and hear the laughter and joy that goes with it.
"This gives Story City an identity and it's something unique that a lot of cities don't have," said Aaron Lott, Story City Greater Chamber Connection director.
The Story City Antique Carousel in North Park has been around since 1913, and in Story City since 1938. It was built in New York state and shipped to Iowa. It traveled the Iowa countryside stopping at county fairs until making its permanent stop in Story City.
The Herschell-Spillman Company wooden carousel features hand-carved animals: 20 horses, two roosters, two pigs, two dogs as well as two chariots and a whirling tub.
"It paid for itself the very first day it operated and it's been doing good things for Story City ever since," said Karen Hermanson of the Story City Carousel Maintenance Committee.
She said kids would ride the carousel or go to the Story Theater while their parents got groceries or a haircut.
"Oh, the benefit's been immeasurable," said Hermanson.
Generations of families return to the landmark.
"It's a piece of history, it's entertainment and it's art," said Hermanson.
The carousel is open every day at noon from Memorial Day through Labor Day: Monday and Tuesday noon until 6 p.m. and Wednesday through Sunday noon until 8 p.m. It costs $1 to ride.
It's located at 100 Grove Ave., just a couple minutes drive west of Interstate 35 on Broad Street in Story City.

The World Health Report 2007 marks a turning point in the history of public health, and signals what could be one of the biggest advances in health security in half a century.
In 1951, when WHO issued its first set of legally binding regulations aimed at preventing the international spread of disease, people travelled internationally by ship, and news was transmitted by telegram.
The world has changed dramatically since then. Now, every day, up to three million people travel by air to another city, another country, or another continent. Every day, millions of tons of cargo are shipped around the world by air, land and sea. Every day, the constant movement of people and products carries with it the potential to spread highly infectious diseases and other hazards more rapidly than at any time in history. A sudden health crisis in one region of the world is now only a few hours away from becoming a public health emergency in another. In the last five years, WHO has verified more than 1100 epidemic events. Among them was a deadly new disease, SARS - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - which sparked an international alert in 2003. Today, there is a real and continuing threat of a human influenza pandemic that could have much more serious human and economic consequences.
The World Health Report 2007 discusses these and other current challenges to global health security and asks: How can a safer future be achieved? It looks at the potential of new tools for collective defence, particularly the revised International Health Regulations (2005) which came into force this year. They are designed to achieve maximum security against the international spread of diseases, and have been expanded to include any emergency with international repercussions for health, including natural disasters and chemical or radionuclear events, whether accidental or deliberate.
Significantly, the revised Regulations move away from a focus on passive barriers at airports, seaports and borders to a strategy of proactive risk management - detecting an event early and stopping it at its source - before it has a chance to become an international threat.
For while acute health risks can and do spread quickly, nothing travels faster today than information. Increasingly armed with the latest communications, and supported by international networks, technology, expertise and legal obligation, countries can act promptly and collectively to health emergencies at their source and prevent their spread.
The prospect of a safer future is within reach. It is both a collective aspiration and a mutual responsibility. As the causes and consequences of health emergencies expand, so does the range of players with a stake in the security agenda. The World Health Report 2007 is directed towards all of them, and all who value public health.

BOULDER, CO - June 20, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software for the enterprise and consumers, today announced the results of a second comprehensive test that compared the effectiveness of competing enterprise-class anti-spyware software. According to the results, Webroot was nearly twice as effective as Symantec and three times as effective as Trend Micro at cleaning all types of spyware. This test for enterprise-class anti-spyware effectiveness was conducted by VeriTest, a testing service of Lionbridge (NASDAQ:LIOX).
Over a two month period, Lionbridge's VeriTest engineering team tested Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 2.5.1 against Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10.1 and Trend Micro Anti-Spyware Enterprise 3.0. The rigorous testing methodology included a test bed of 150 randomly selected spies, divided into the following categories: adware, system monitor, and Trojans. Each product was judged on its ability to "fully clean" each piece of spyware - a comprehensive term for detecting and removing - from multiple machines. The results of a product's effectiveness against each of the 150 spies was measured against an extremely sophisticated set of criteria that required each to be met in order to gain a "clean" rating.
The test results show Webroot to be significantly more effective than Symantec and Trend at fully cleaning spyware from multiple machines. Overall, Webroot fully cleaned 92 percent of the entire test bed. Trend Micro cleaned 28 percent and Symantec AV only 51 percent.
"Once again, Veritest's rigorous testing methodology proves Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise provides the best anti-spyware protection against two tough competitors," said Gerhard Eschelbeck, CTO and senior vice president of engineering at Webroot Software. "Veritest has set the bar in anti-spyware testing for all companies to effectively compare and evaluate competitive products."
VeriTest noted in the report, "In this robust test that spanned two months and included 150 spies, with simultaneous installations of adware, system monitors and Trojans, Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise significantly outperformed the Symantec and Trend Micro products by accurately identifying and effectively removing more spyware programs used in this test. Effectively removing 92 percent of the spyware in this test demonstrates excellent early detection and cleaning methodology…The aforementioned testing results are evident of a 'Right tool for the job' scenario. Webroot has proven to provide the greatest protection against spyware at the time of this testing."
In an earlier round of testing performed by Veritest, Spy Sweeper Enterprise was twice as effective as McAfee and nearly three times as effective as Sunbelt in removing spies in a similar testing environment.
Spy Sweeper Enterprise is designed specifically to proactively protect users from the most malicious types of spyware including trojans, keyloggers, system monitors and other potentially unwanted software programs. The Enterprise version is powered by Smart Shields, the industry's most advanced real-time blocking technology, and Phileas™ - Webroot's own automated spyware research system designed specifically to root out and identify spyware anywhere on the web. Spy Sweeper Enterprise was recently awarded best overall anti-malware solution and the best anti-spyware solution by SC Magazine, and the Product Excellence Award in the Customer Trust category from Info Security Products Guide.

Testing Medications: Who's Being Left Out?
by Jennifer Hellwig, MS, RD
Children get sick, just like adults do. But many times the only medications doctors can prescribe for children have never been tested in children. Find out if this prescription practice could affect you and your family.
The Process of Testing Drugs
When drug companies want to manufacture and market a new drug, they must first receive approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is done by submitting scientific evidence proving that the drug is safe and effective.
That evidence is collected in experiments, usually first conducted in test tubes and laboratory animals, and then in human studies called clinical trials. Clinical trials take several years and cost millions of dollars to conduct.
The data collected during clinical trials is summarized in detail on an approved drug's insert. While much of it may seem like medical jargon to the average layperson, it is often vital information for a treating physician. It can help them determine which medication may be best for an individual's condition. The research will also help you and your doctor weigh the benefits and potential harms of any medication.
Why Some Groups Are Left Out
Historically, certain segments of the population have been largely omitted from clinical trials of new drugs. These groups include children, women who may be pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant, and elderly people.
There are several reasons for this:
Safety is a concern in all clinical trials, but it can be of particular concern with regard to populations who may be more vulnerable to adverse effects from drugs—such as children, developing fetuses in pregnant women, and elderly people.
Duplicating expensive trials in different populations may not be cost-effective for the company footing the bill.
Some experts argue that it is unethical to expose certain groups of people to the risk associated with taking an experimental drug. And in the case of children, it has been argued that it is unethical to enroll them in clinical trials when they are not old enough to give consent themselves. They would be too young to fully understand the effects of a medication trial.
On the flip side, others question if it is any less ethical than treating children with drugs that have not been specifically tested in children. In the end, children may end up being exposed to medication with unclear benefits or harm in the pediatric population.
Specific Challenges
It can also be harder to have children in clinical trials. Many times they may initially agree to participate, but may not follow through until the end of the trial.
Trials that are well-controlled may also require several different types of testing. Many times, it is difficult to get blood or urine tests from children. Children can also be more scared. Many facilities are not set up for children. Everything from medical equipment to how tests are done, are set up for an adult not a child. It makes a difficult situation more difficult.
The Challenge for Doctors
Doctors are faced with a bit of a puzzle when prescribing medications to certain people. To many doctors, that is cause for concern. The lack of testing means a lack of knowledge regarding clinical effect, proper dosing, and potential side effects.
Children, many experts point out, are not simply small adults. You cannot just cut a drug dose in half and expect it to work the way it works in an adult. Similarly, geriatricians reject the argument that elderly people respond predictably to the same drugs shown to be safe and effective in younger adults.
Trials for children are needed for age-specific medications that will determine the best treatment available.
Efforts to Improve the Situation
Fortunately, changes are happening. The FDA has helped to protect a company's patent for a longer period of time. This gives the company a financial advantage which they can use to pay for trials in special populations like children or elderly. Drug companies are also using pediatric experts to help them guide the complex process of the trials.
Although it appears to be slow going, drug companies, health organizations, and the FDA are making progress in getting children involved in clinical trials.
What You Can Do
In the meantime, your best bet, as always, is to be an informed consumer. Whenever you or your child is prescribed a medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist if the drug was specifically tested in that age group and what the potential risks associated with the drug are.
It is important to remember that a drug that has not been tested in a certain population is not necessarily dangerous to that population and not taking the drug to treat a condition may be riskier than taking it. In many cases, doctors may have enough experience using that drug to treat people in that population and, if so, they should be able to tell you how the drug has worked in their experience.

The Liz Lemon romance on Thursday's "30 Rock" didn't live up to billing, and turned into a waste of Jon Hamm and Dean Winters. But the rest of the show was the usual superlative comedy.
Especially Jack Donaghy's (Alec Baldwin) budding relationship with a fast-talking CNBC talking head Avery Jessup (played fantastically by Elizabeth Banks). You will not find a better minute of television comedy than this clip of the fake talk show Hot Box.
Another great part of this story was Jack's enlisting of Jon Bon Jovi to approach him in a bid to impress Jessup. Bon Jovi gamely agrees and moments later makes his entrance only to have an annoyed Donaghy tell him of to buzz off, he's busy. Jessup is wowed and the deal is sealed.
But have we seen this gag before? Turns out Don Rickles had a very similar encounter re-discussed in this month's Vanity Fair. We'll let Rickles take it from here.
"Sinatra was headlining at the Sands and I was with this girl having dinner in the lounge. She wasn't anybody I would bring home to my mother, but I wanted to score big. Frank was in the lounge at his table with Lena Horne and some other celebrities and his security guard. And my date says, 'My God, there's Frank Sinatra! Do you know him.'
"So I said, 'Wait here sweetheart,' and I went over to Frank's table. "What do you want Bullethead?" he said. That was his nickname for me. I told him I was trying to impress this girl and would he do me a very big favor and come over to just say hello. He said, 'For you Bullethead, I'll do it.'
"Five minutes later, Sinatra strolled over and said, 'Don, how the hell are you?'"
Rickles replied, "Not now, Frank. Can't you see I'm with someone?"
Leave it to Jack to take from the Old Masters.
