Don't even think of telling these girls a blond joke. WWE stars Torrie Wilson and Trish Stratus could smack you down -- big time.
These divas might not sing, but they sure can hit.
The whole WWE crew was in town yesterday to promote the huge SummerSlam pay-per-view extravaganza coming to the Air Canada Centre Aug. 15.
Stratus said she always welcomes a chance to come back to her hometown. "The great thing when I come to Toronto is that I can actually sleep in my real bed," the reigning WWE.com babe giggled.
The divas each star in one of the two divisions of the WWE, Wilson in Smackdown and Stratus in Raw.
"I'm really glad about my character, I just love it. I've always felt that I had it in me," Stratus said.
Torrie says that to her, wrestling is only one part of making it in the WWE. "If you want to be a diva, you have to be willing to go down and get dirty on the ring -- and you must look good in a bathing suit of course !"
Both women have been in the league for more than three years, and said they aren't worried about competition from up-and-coming females. "It's amazing that now women can make it on their own and become part of the wrestling league as entertainers" Wilson, from Boise, Idaho, said.
"There are more and more women in the WWE and that's great for the league. It helps us create new characters, new rivalries," said Stratus, who went to York University in the '90s.

Managing Exceptions
By default, Wing's debugger stops at exceptions when they would be printed by the Python interpreter or when they are logged with logging.exception. Wing will also stop on all AssertionError exceptions, whether or not they are printed or logged, since these usually indicate a program error even if they are handled.
The Debugger > Exceptions preference group can be used to control how Wing approaches exception reporting. This includes the following preferences.
Exception Reporting Mode
The overall strategy for identifying and reporting exceptions is configured with the Report Exceptions preference. The following choices are available:
When Printed (default) -- The debugger will stop on exceptions at the time that they would have been printed out by the Python interpreter.
For code with catch-all exceptions written in Python, Wing may fail to report unexpected exceptions if the handlers do not print the exception. In this case, it is best to rewrite the catch-all handlers as described in Trouble-shooting Failure to Stop on Exceptions.
In this exception handling mode, any code in finally clauses, except clauses that reraise the exception, and with statement cleanup routines will be executed before the debugger stops because they execute before the traceback is printed.
Always Immediately -- The debugger will stop at every single exception immediately when it is raised. In most code this will be very often, since exceptions may be used internally to handle normal, acceptible runtime conditions. As a result, this option is usually only useful after already running close to code that requires further examination.
At Process Termination -- In this case, the debugger will make a best effort to stop and report exceptions that actually lead to process termination. This occurs just before or sometimes just after the process is terminated. The exception is also printed to stderr, as it would be when running outside of the debugger.
When working with an Externally Launched Debug Process , the At Process Termination mode may not be able to stop the debug process before it exits, and in some cases may even fail to show any post-mortem traceback at all (except as printed to stderr in the debug process).
Similarly, when working with wxPython, PyGTK, and similar environments that include a catch-all exception handler in C/C++ code, the At Process Termination mode will fail to report any unexpected exceptions occurring during the main loop because those exceptions do not actually lead to process termination.
Immediately if Appear Unhandled -- The debugger will attempt to detect unhandled exceptions as they are raised in your debug process, making it possible to view the program state that led to the exception and to step through subsequently reached finally clauses. This is done by looking up the stack for exception handlers written in Python, and reporting only exceptions for which there is no matching handler.
The Immediately if Appear Unhandled mode works well with wxPython, PyGTK, and in most other code where unexpected exceptions either lead to program termination or are handled by catch-all exception handlers written in C/C++ extension module code.
In some cases, Wing's unhandled exception detector can report normal handled exceptions that are not seen outside of the debugger. This occurs when the exceptions are handled in C/C++ extension module code. Wing can be trained to ignore these by checking the Ignore this exception location check box in the debugger's Exception tool. Ignored exceptions are still reported if they actually lead to program termination, and your selection is remembered in your project file so only needs to be made once. Use Clear Ignored Exceptions from the Debug menu at any time to reset the ignore list to blank.
Reporting Logged Exceptions
The Report Logged Exceptions in When Printed Mode preference controls whether exceptions that are not printed but that are logged with a call to logging.exception will be reported by the default When Printed exception reporting mode. This preference is ignored in other exception reporting modes.
Exception Type Filters
The Never Report and Always Report preferences can be used to specify that certain exception types should never be reported at all, or always reported regardless of whether they are printed or logged. For example, by default Wing will never stop on SystemExit or GeneratorExit since these occur during normal program behavior, and Wing will always stop on AssertionError since this usually indicates a bug in code even if it is handled.
In some code, adding NameError or AttributeError to the Always Report list may help uncover bugs; however, this may not work if these are treated as normal expected exceptions by the authors of the code and there are too many such cases to ignore them with the Ignore this exception location checkbox in the Exceptions tool.

Harvey Weinstein to become a fifth-time father
Weinstein's second wife, fashion designer Georgina Chapman, is pregnant with the couple's second child.
Chapman tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "We are both over the moon," while Weinstein adds, "We don't know the sex, it could be Harvey and five daughters. I'd be happy either way."
The film producer already has a little girl with Chapman, India Pearl, who was born in 2010, while he also has three daughters from a previous relationship.

The Park at Lakeshore East: A Place to Stroll, Linger, and Play
As one of the emerging landscape architects of our time, Jim Burnett, FASLA, has a strong passion for creating meaningful landscapes that are active, creative, and have a timeless sensibility to them. Whether it's a corporate headquarters, a hospital, or an urban park, The Office of James Burnett (OJB) strives to create environments that people use and enjoy on a daily basis.
Since the firm's founding in Houston in 1989, and the 2003 opening of a second office in Solana Beach, CA, OJB has garnered more than 50 state and national awards for projects consistently cited for design excellence. The firm's landscapes have a strong practicality to them and often relate to the rhythm of the architecture while weaving in unforgettable sensory experiences with a creative and unique plant palette. This dialogue enables OJB to create environments that are stimulating and fresh no matter how many times you visit or what time of the year.
"We're lucky that our clients believe in the value of quality design. We are brought on at the very beginning of the project to generate ideas with the architect on how the landscape and the building will interface. Having a strong seamless dialogue between the two disciplines creates so much value for the project."
-OJB's Principal and Landscape Architect Kyle Fiddelke, ASLA
Connecting to the Outdoors
Fiddelke joined OJB in 1997, when the firm worked primarily on large healthcare projects. Designing restorative gardens was meaningful work because of the physical and mental healing effects on patients who utilized the spaces. As the years passed by, the firm's work expanded into other areas, including academic, urban design and planning, parks and gardens, office, and residential—with an ever-present passion for high-quality design while maintaining the positive effects learned in healthcare design.
The Park at Lakeshore East, located in Chicago where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan, was one of OJB's first notable projects built outside of Houston. The property had taken on several identities over time, including an Illinois Central railroad freight yard and terminus, and, more recently, a par-three, nine-hole golf course. OJB got involved on the project through its existing relationship with the internationally recognized, Chicago-based design firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM). The project's developer had hired SOM to develop a master plan for the 28-acre, mixed-use project, which included a park as the focal point of the development.
A $4 billion plan was set in motion to create a high-density residential community in the heart of downtown with a six-acre park that would function as the neighborhood's heart. This park connected the master plan's varied components, including hi-rises for 4,950 residences, 2.2 million gross square feet of commercial space, 1,500 hotel rooms, and 770,000 square feet of retail space. OJB's task was to examine the master plan and program a high-end, residential open space. "We didn't think this project was going to become a reality as swiftly as it did, but the developers wanted to move as quickly as possible, and we were retained to take the park to the next stages of design and construction," says Fiddelke.
The park's design and installation occurred early in the development process to entice potential homeowners and businesses to the area.
"Chicago places a high value on green spaces, so the park had to be the first thing built before the City would issue a certificate of occupancy of any of the Lakeshore East buildings. And because of the park's prominence, we had a wonderful opportunity to set the tone for the project."
-OJB Vice President Nathan Elliott, ASLA, LEED
The goal was to create a front yard for the development rich with materials and program, so the residents saw the space as an extension of their homes. They used Vectorworks Landmark software from start to finish in the design process to create a powerful and intriguing design.
Today, hidden among the towering skyscrapers, The Park at Lakeshore East contains hundreds of trees and more than 100 different varieties of perennials, grasses, and flowers. A great lawn stretches from one end of the park to the other, offering recreational opportunities and a place to hold farmers' markets and festivals on the weekends. Arching walkways intersect the park, creating rooms for botanical gardens, sparkling water features, a childrens' playground, and even a dog park. The resulting experience is just as dazzling to the senses as it is to the eyes.
"Interestingly enough, developers thought the hi-rise units facing the lake would be the most valuable and sell the fastest, but the reverse happened once prospective buyers saw the park," Elliott adds. "The park-facing units sold out first, forcing a swift change in marketing and pricing strategies to bring the development to full occupancy. That was great to see."
Award-Winning Design Enhances a Community
Prospective buyers weren't the only people wowed by the park. In fact, the project has received numerous awards since its 2005 dedication:
- 2008 American Architecture Awards - The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design
- 2008 Mayor Richard M. Daley's Landscape Award for Specialized Gardens
- 2006's Best New Park - Chicago Magazine
- Best New Open Space award - Friends of Downtown
- Best of the Best 2005 award - Midwest Construction magazine
- 2005 American Society of Landscape Architect Award
"We've won a lot of awards, but our greatest satisfaction is in seeing people use the spaces we've designed," comments Fiddelke. This sentiment is felt throughout both OJB offices, which can be characterized as energetic environments where everyone wears multiple hats. "We learn together and everyone chips in," says Elliott. "No one is pigeon-holed, and staff members bring a nice mix of cultural and educational backgrounds to the table, ensuring the ongoing vitality of our work."
Elliott describes the staff has being very dedicated. "No one sees this as a nine to five job," he says. "That's not to say we're workaholics; rather, it says we're passionate about our work. We strive to make sure the projects we do are publishable, will make a difference in peoples' lives, and are something we would be proud to take our kids or parents to enjoy."
The firm is eager to keep looking toward the future and is actively engaged in several exciting projects. "Every year when we think we can't do something bigger or better, something new comes along," teases Fiddelke. We can't wait to see what comes next out of this inspirational firm. We'll certainly be watching.
OJB Gets Technical
When Kyle Fiddelke joined OJB in 1997, the firm was a studio of five people who worked out of a small office above a Houston restaurant. The space may have lacked frills and inspiration, but that didn't stop the team from impressing clients with their designs. At the time, OJB's graphical toolkit relied exclusively on hand drawings, but employees would soon leap into applying a new workflow based on Vectorworks Landmark software to create and document their memorable landscapes.
Today, the firm's landscape architects and designers use the program to help them through the process of making their visions a reality. "I work through designs in Vectorworks; it's how I'm wired," notes Fiddelke. "Some of my industry peers still hand sketch on trace paper, but I go right into Vectorworks. In that workspace, I can easily manipulate, overlay, and enlist our custom library of preferred plant symbols and color palette to achieve each design. I know the way my plan is going to look when I'm done, and that gives me great comfort."
That OJB style Fiddelke speaks about is enhanced with a series of customized shapes the firm set up within the software that gives its plans a personalized look. "We try to keep our palette simple because we want plans that are easy to understand," he adds.
"The Vectorworks program works perfectly for me. I find it has more graphical capabilities than competing programs, and it allows me to generate illustrative site plans quickly and easily."
-OJB's Principal and Landscape Architect Kyle Fiddelke, ASLA
For The Park at Lakeshore East, the firm set its own schedule and deadlines and created all project drawings using the software. It documented the entire park in the Vectorworks Landmark program all the way to construction documents before turning them over for final documentation and administration by a local team in Chicago. "Our role was to establish the design intent, so the Vectorworks technology worked perfectly. It did exactly what we needed it to do."
Senior Associate Ryan Harrison, ASLA, confirms Fiddelke's assessment, drawing attention to two tools, in particular, that speed his workflow. The first is the Select Similar tool, which lets him identify similar object types in one simple click, regardless of layer or class. The shortcut is particularly useful for master plans and identifying tree counts, and avoids an otherwise laborious shift/click process.
Harrison also enjoys the ability to create and measure a new polygon based on the inner boundary of existing geometry. He does this using the program's 2D Polygon tool and the Inner Boundary (i.e., "paint bucket") mode. Harrison uses the tool regularly because he can get the geometry or square footage of an area immediately without having to trace it for the purpose of material takeoffs.
Such built-in graphics techniques are a timesaver for the OJB team. "The speed at which we can produce scalable drawings and rendered plans of a landscape is invaluable," Harrison says. "I also appreciate being able to go from illustrative schematics to construction documents—all in one program—and I'm thrilled my concepts do not look like construction documents."

But this Sunday, June 3, something even more special "may" occur.
That's "may" because a California dogface butterfly "may" emerge from its chrysalis during the Bohart open house, set from 1 to 4 p.m. in 1124 Academic Surge on California Drive.
Naturalist-photographer Greg Kareofelas of Davis, a volunteer at the Bohart, will be showcasing some live California dogface butterflies--and a chrysalis.
Kareofelas is rearing several dogface butterflies (Zerene eurydice). The first adult emerged from its chrysalis on May 28. He's hoping one will emerge during the open house.
Even if it doesn't, Kareofelas will be presenting a slide show of the butterfly's life cycle. (By the way, Sunday marks the last Bohart open house of the 2011-2012 academic year, and yes, it's free and open to the public.)
Several years ago Kareofelas and entomology doctoral candidate Fran Keller teamed to create a California dogface butterfly poster, which is available for sale in the museum's gift shop.
What about the state insect? What do we know about it?
The high-flying butterfly, found only in California, is rarely seen in the wild. Its main host plant is False indigo (Amorpha californica), a riparian shrub that grows among poison oak and willows and along stream banks, often in steep and isolated canyons. The male has markings on its wings resembling a silhouette of a dog's head. The female is usually solid yellow with a black spot on each upper wing.
The California State Legislature designated the California dogface butterfly as the state insect in 1972. An entomology society in Southern California first proposed this butterfly as the state insect in 1929, but nothing came of it until 1972 when a fourth grade class in Fresno petitioned their state representative, said Tabatha Yang, the Bohart Museum's education and outreach coordinator.
The California dogface butterfly display will be one of the two main attractions at the Bohart's open house, which is themed "Bug Light, Bug Bright, First Bug I See Tonight!" The other key attractions will be bugs that glow under ultraviolet light, according to museum director Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis.
Think scorpions. And don't forget that species of millipede found on Alcatraz Island. They glow, too!
Greg will be releasing them back into the wild population where he found them (a Yolo County site). He's thinking he may have two females and two males. In addition, some day he's hoping to establish a California dogface butterfly population at the Haagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis.

There is one thing about having all these problems that I never see much written about. Depression. There have been studies, but it's certainly not something my dermatologist, allergist or family physician ever talked about as being normal or expected.
It should be.
Every time you eat in public, either at a restaurant or even a party, you have to speak up and draw attention to yourself. If you're shy, this is made worse by the fact that something you don't want to share with everyone is suddenly out in the open. Everyone feels they get to share their opinion, or limited knowledge, or just crack insensitive jokes to lighten the mood. "So, I guess a peanut butter milkshake with an egg would kill you? Ha-ha-ha." Most people just want to be normal and not being able to eat a slice of cake or pizza doesn't feel normal.
Now imagine eczema. Your skin is your very own portable torture chamber. It's itchy, it burns, swells, cracks and bleeds for no reason you can fathom sometimes. To have times when you can't show your face or have to wear long sleeve shirts and pants to hide your scars or rashes is horrendous at best. For children, it is even worse. To paraphrase an old saying, "children are evil". Whether by nature or nuture, they are able to identify all imperfections and ways of torturing children deemed as imperfect.
So, it's no wonder that children, teenagers and adults with these conditions get depressed sometimes.
I would imagine parents of a child with allergies/eczema (from now on, I'll just blanketly refer to us as "atopic") feels anguish at the thought of what the child goes through and wants only to help.
Here's what doesn't help:
1. Don't tell your child that his/her condition hurts you as much as it does them. Believe me, it doesn't. If you don't have it, you can't know and you're diminishing their suffering by thinking you do.
2. Don't tell your child s/he'll outgrow it. If your physician tells them this, I would have a private conversation with them to let them know you would not like them to utter these well-meaning but false hopes in future. I waited in vain when I turned 6, then 9, then 12, 13 and finally 16 and on none of my birthdays did my allergies or eczema magically vanish at the stroke of midnight. In some cases, it is life long and it doesn't do children any good to believe the impossible.
3. Don't listen to your doctor "blindly". She or he does know best, but they don't know all. If you feel like something isn't quite right, seek a second opinion. Research what they're telling you. Make every effort to educate yourself on the available options.
4. Don't drag your atopic child to every doctor, naturopath and quack on the planet in search of some magical cure. I've gone to naturopaths (note the plural), some who were good and one who negligently told me I could eat at least an egg a week. (I'm sure I could have, though it would have been my last. At the very least, I would have made great friends at the local ER and bankrupted my parents with EpiPen purchases in the process). I even went to an acupuncturist, which did nothing, except to remove thousands of dollars from my parents' bank accounts and my life long fear of needles. You can stick me with practically anything now and I don't care. I've even been to useless dermatologists who are too busy to actually look at my skin and mean-spirited allergists who disparage anything not made with a steroid. Use common sense and don't waste your time.
5. Try your very best to make sure your child doesn't feel responsible for any issues you have in your family. Having an ill child of any sort is bound to put pressures on a family. Parents are stressed because they don't know what to do and hate to see their child in pain. Sibilings feel neglected. You need to keep your sanity and be a cohesive family unit, no matter what.
6. If you have any doubts about your child's emotional state, don't be afraid to seek out a child psychiatrist. If they prescribe medications, do your research and get a second opinion. Sometimes, just talking is the best thing for a child.
7. Lastly, if you're religious, that's fine. But, please don't make your child think that this is a punishment for something or that if they pray hard enough God or Jesus will cure them. It is not a punishment and frankly, if God or Jesus are in the habit of acting on prayers, I would rather they eliminated world hunger before worrying about me.
So, that's all the things to not do. I'm sure there are more, but that will do for now. My future posts will be more about products and at home treatments that have worked for me and even restaurants or cookbooks I've found useful. Much more fun, I promise.

How many Premium Members have embedded music onto their profile page and if not, why?
I tried, but it doesn't work...
I think I used it four years ago when CR would use another site to stream music, but I haven't bothered to try nowadays.
eat my dirt (:
It doesn't work anymore.
[No information available]
Looked like too much hassle, so I never tried. I'd put up a profile skin before putting up audio. And I HATE it when websites play music. I can think of other features I'd rather CR implement.
message me if you need something
Edit post fail:
It's annoying basically I don't want to hear anyone else's music blasting loudly through my speakers I have it off as common courtesy for other people looking at my page.
I thought the autoplay was very irritating, so when I made changes the most important feature was to make sure autoplay was disabled.
AHTL wrote:
When it was a new feature, I would take the time to add some music to my profile. But I got fed up with music constantly disappearing from the site or not being there in the first place, and just couldn't be bothered any more.
If people want to hear what I'm listening to, they just have to ask.
Also, autoplay is the worst feature ever.
Oooo, yes i created an account w/ playlist and w/i 24 hrs. 1 of 5 songs was removed from my 1 playlist. Also where CR has started KDrama it would be great if they created a music connection to CR which focuses on anime, that was why I threw out the site name that I did, although there are others that have anime music as well but i think it would be nice if people could upload music from one sight w/o having to search for/buy music (specifically anime) then upload and transfer to CR. I noticed PL seems to have anime (foreign) music pulled from their site quite frequently. I gave up on PL as well, I'm sort of hoping that CR might consider other options.
I don't since it would probably annoy me after a while.
Plus too much work.
Anime warms the heart and the soul. <3
[No information available]
I had it. Some songs weren't on the site that I liked. Then Euterpe got taken down. At least Last Night, Good Night is still up there.
At any rate, you have to listen to it on the website. No iOS app. Truly sucks now...
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
nope cause i dont know how to n to lazy to find out />.<\
Sometimes music on a website can be cool, but mostly background music is annoying. This is often due to reasons like slacking off at school and the music starts going, or whatever else people choose to do. When I go to a website, I am always surprised when there is background music as I'm not used to it and it just seems out of place as a result I suppose. It's way too garish for professional sites, but to each their own for personal pages. Keep in mind at least a few people will be scrambling for the mute button though when it starts.

Aside from that, not everyone enjoys the same music I do nor will I enjoy everyone else's.
I don't mind a nice embedded music player if it defaults to OFF and isn't hard to find, but embedded tracks that auto-play on page load are like the 8th deadly sin or something. Pure evil.
To be honest, I think it is kinda annoying when I go to other people's pages and hear music. Doesn't matter if I like the song or not. So... I never put any on my page either.
Back when my computer stunk it would sometimes freeze the browser on top of what else is on it (thinking of MySpace days).

One of my all time favourite books!7. Sacred Hearts - Sarah Dunant
This one is set in a convent in Ferrara, Italy, in the year 1570 - I sat up till after 2am to finish it. An absolute zinger!
8. Leonardo's Swans – Karen Essex
9. The Glassblower of Murano – Marina Fiorato
This novel tells the parallel stories of a glassblower in Venice, 1681, and his descendant centuries later, a young woman who dreams of being a glassblowing artiste herself. It's a simple, romantic story, but well told and with lots of lovely Venetian details.
11. The Botticelli Secret - Marina Fiorato
A grand romp of an adventure through Renaissance Italy and Botticelli's most famous painting, 'La Primavera', this was a great read (though you may need to willingly suspend your disbelief about quite a number of things). I loved it, though. The heroine Luciana is a delight, and the illumination of some of the possibly meanings behind the figures in the painting quite fascinating.
This lush historical novel set in 18th century Siena is a fabulous read, with a perfect blend of action, mystery and love.
13. The Venetian Contract - Marina Fiorato
14. A Room with a View- E.M. Forster
An old favourite of mine and one I like to re-read every few years. A beautiful, subtle love story set partly in Italy and partly in England, with a gentle satire on English manners and mores – a wonderful book.
15. Where Angels' Fear to Tread – E.M. Forster
A brilliant read! I really recommend it. This book tells the story of the original Juliet of Shakespearean fame, in parallel with the modern-day quest of a young American woman to find an ancient family legacy. I love books which parallel two historical periods, particularly when it is done as well as this one.
17. The Confessions of Catherine de Medici – C.W. Gortner
An absolutely fabulous historical novel told from the point of view of Catherine de Medici, one of the most maligned women in history. The parts dealing with her childhood are set in Italy; the rest in France.
18. The Falconer's Knot – Mary Hoffman
This was the first book I have read by Jeanne Kalogridas and it won't be the last. I really enjoyed this book, which tells the story of the woman behind Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting. So little was known about Lisa Gherardini, Kalogridas was able to position her right in the heart of the intrigues, murders, and religious fanaticism of Florence in the days of Savaronola. A really good, exciting, romantic book.
20. The Borgia Bride - Jeanne Kalogridis
The tagline for this book reads 'Incest. Poison. Betrayal. Three wedding presents for the Borgia Bride.' This sums up the book really well. It's a real historical page turner, set in Italy in the 1490s when the Borgia family ruled Rome. Riveting stuff.
21. The Book of Unholy Mischief – Elle Newmark
22. Vivaldi's Virgins – Barbara Quick
Another wonderful book about Vivaldi and the girl musicians of the Pieta in Venice - full of atmosphere and beauty.
23. Miss Garnet's Angel – Salley Vickers
This novel tells the story of a prim and proper Englishwoman who goes to Venice and finds her life transformed by the power of art and love. It made me want to move to Venice!
24. The Passion of Artemisia – Susan Vreeland
A novel inspired by the life of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few women to ever be admitted into the salons of Renaissance Florence. Read my Interview with Susan Vreeland for more.

No soliciting! Orange man arrested for panhandling
Police arrested one man in Orange on Tuesday, June 18, after the man violated a solicitation ordinance by asking drivers stopped at an intersection for money.
According to a report from the Orange Police Department, officers arrested Orange resident Raymond Lamar Ross after the man was repeatedly seen panhandling around the city. On the day of the arrest, Sergeant John Arnold reportedly saw Ross soliciting cash from a concrete island at 16th Street and South Lutcher Drive, the Interstate 10 service road, at approximately 1:39 p.m. Arnold approached the suspect, who he recognized on sight, and the driver of the vehicle who he saw handing something to Ross. The driver of the car admitted he gave Ross some change after Ross asked for it.
Arnold reported Ross "made a body gesture of frustration" and shouted an obscenity upon the officer activating his emergency lights. When questioned by Arnold, Ross conceded that he had been warned several times about soliciting. Arnold reported that a check of police records confirmed Ross was warned twice on June 17, the day before, and he himself had warned Ross several times for soliciting in the same location.
Ross was arrested and transported to the Orange County Jail for the ordinance violation, soliciting from the roadway.

The New Year has begun � and with it, an untold number of resolutions.
The New Year has begun � and with it, an untold number of resolutions.
I�m curious as to how many of those resolutions already have already fallen by the wayside.
I was never good at maintaining resolutions. I can remember just one that I�ve kept for any length of time. About 10 years ago, I resolved not to make more resolutions. And I have kept that one to today!
Why don�t I make New Year resolutions anymore?
Mostly because I felt guilty when I could no longer keep up with them. My intentions were exemplary. My follow-through was severely lacking.
Were goals set too high? No.
Were they unrealistic? No.
But resolutions address an aspect about ourselves that needs to be changed � and change is difficult.
For change to occur, there must be a full-fledged commitment to making it happen. The mindset must be �I must � and I will � do this!�
If it is approached with a �wouldn�t it be nice� frame of mind, the change will be short-lived.
Part of what it comes down to is making choices.
Will desired new healthy patterns continue to be chosen over old destructive patterns?
Will the choice be made to persevere through old habits� lure?
With what do you struggle? In what areas do you seek to change?
Will you break down the door of resentment, opening for you possibilities for healing and wholeness?
Will you break down the door of materialism, opening for you opportunities for contentment with what God has already given you?
Will you break down the door of destructive habits, opening for you the pathway to freedom from those things that enslave you?
Will you break down the door of a stagnant spiritual life, opening up new avenues of growth and maturity?
Will you break down the barrier that keeps you from fully accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, opening your heart to newness of life and ultimately eternal life?
In life, you must make choices. In 2013, remember that the most important decision you can make is to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
In Him, you will find life.
In Him, you will receive the ability to put the past behind you and move into new avenues of growth and life.
What choices await you in the year ahead?
Allow God and his love for you to guide those choices. Resolve to persevere in your new life.
Happy New Year!
The Rev. Mark Broadhead is pastor at Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. — The Wabash College football team
dodged two early bullets, jumped out to a 14-0 lead, and then held
off a late Wooster rally for a 21-17 victory in the Little Giants'
season opener. Sophomore Jonathon Koop's interception in the
closing seconds sealed the victory.
The Little Giants fumbled the opening kickoff, which set up Wooster with good field position. The Scots' drive bogged down after a holding penalty and Russ Palm's 42-yard field goal went wide right.
On its next series, Wabash was penalized for a false start, lost three yards on a running play, and sophomore quarterback Chase Belton was intercepted at the Wabash 17-yard-line. The Little Giants had two possessions, ran two plays, and turned the ball over twice.
Fortunately for the 4,381 Scarlet-clad fans present for the dedication of Sewell Field at Byron P. Hollett Little Giant Stadium, Wooster quarterback Richard Barnes threw an errant pass on the ensuing play, which was picked off by Wabash's Sam Smith.
Four plays later, Belton hit senior wide receiver Wes Chamblee in the flat, and the All-American returner bolted 72 yards to score the first points on the newly dedicated field.
"When you walk off the field knowing that you didn't play your best, but you still got the win, it makes coming in on Sunday a whole lot better," said Wabash Coach Erik Raeburn, who is now 3-0 in Wabash season-openers. "We know we've got a lot of work to do, but we feel like teams make a lot of improvement between games one and two, and we need to make progress."
The Little Giants committed 10 penalties for 97 yards, turned the ball over three times, and were just 1-for-3 in red zone opportunities.
Belton, who led Wabash to a victory at Wooster in his only other collegiate start, showed flashes of brilliance, but also made a few costly mistakes. He led all rushers with 127 yards, but gave back 46 of those yards on four sacks.
"We'll take a sack if it means not turning the ball over," said Raeburn, "but we can't be running backward and giving up more yards. Chase took some sacks scrambling around trying to make plays, but we can't give up that much yardage."
After he hit Chamblee on the 72-yard strike, Belton led Wabash on a nifty 6-play, 66-yard scoring drive by teaming up with Jonathan Horn. Horn caught passes of nine, 15, and used his size to break away from the defender for a 23-yard touchdown grab.
Belton hit 16-of-26 passes for 250 yards and two scores. Horn had eight catches for 108 yards, while rookie James Krause stepped in to make four receptions for 42 yards.
Belton's second interception came early in the second quarter, and Wooster's Petey Jeffy returned the ball 49 yards to give the Scots excellent field position. Barnes hit Mike Redick for 18 yards and later scrambled for five yards on fourth down to draw the Scots within 7, 14-7.
Wabash stuffed the Scots on their first possession of the third quarter, and Belton responded by taking the Little Giants on an eight-play, 79-yard drive that was easily the most impressive offensive display of the day for Wabash.
Belton showed he's a running threat with bursts of 13, seven, and 15 yards on the drive, and Tommy Mambourg stormed in from three yards out for a 21-7 Wabash lead six minutes into the third quarter.
Wooster marched 62 yards at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter to keep the pressure on the Little Giants. Robert Flagg, who rushed for 86 yards, shot up the middle from 14 yards out to cut Wabash's lead to seven, 21-14.
Wabash had a chance to salt the game away, and it appeared the Little Giants would do just that when Belton rushed for 35 yards to get inside the Wooster 20 yard-line. A penalty got Wabash to the four, but Belton gave up 30 yards on a pair of sacks to stall the drive.
Wooster got a 37-yard field goal from Palm with 3:53 to play, and held Wabash on its next possession. But Barnes threw three straight incomplete passes before Koop's interception that sealed the Little Giants victory.
Wabash outgained Wooster 393 to 295 in the contest, though the Scots put up 19 first downs to Wabash's 18. Sophomore safety Sam Smith led all defenders with 13 tackles, plus he added the first-quarter interception and later recovered a fumble.
C.J. Gum, who was unable to practice most of the week, was solid at middle linebacker and posted 11 tackles and three tackles for loss.
Linemen J.D. McClintic and Jake Kolisek each had seven stops and they combined on a sack of Barnes.
"It feels good to win," Gum said after the contest. "Even though I didn't practice, I felt mentally prepared by watching film and watching in practice.
"We've got a lot of stuff to correct, but it's good to win our first game."
Prior to kickoff, Wabash President Pat White formally dedicated Sewell Field, which honors the memory of David Hunter Sewell '76. Sewell played football, wrestled, and appeared in Wabash theater productions as an undergraduate. A gift from Trustee Gary Reamey '77, who was close friends with Sewell prior to his death last year, made the new Field Turf playing surface possible.
"[Sewell's] integrity, honor, and dignity touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him," said President White.
The President also paid tribute to Paul Hawksworth '56, for whom Wabash's new scoreboard is dedicated. On the occasion of his 75th birthday, Paul's Wabash sons — David '88, Mike '91, and Jim '95 — made a gift to the College that made the scoreboard possible.
Wabash will travel to Delaware, Ohio next Saturday for a 1 p.m. contest against Ohio Wesleyan.

Re-enactments keep Civil War history alive
On Saturday, July 26, I attended the Cascade Civil War Society re-enactment held at Moore Park in Klamath Falls (my birthplace). Moore Park is situated along Lakeshore Drive near the confluence of Upper Klamath Lake and Link River.
The Cascade Civil War Society's intent is not to glorify war, but to bring about historical remembrance about the worst conflict in regards to loss of human life in our nation's history. Also, to depict and interpret the suffering, sacrifice, people, and culture from an era that was a major tuning point in our nation's history.
Over 620,000 Americans, both Union and Confederacy, died in the Civil War (1861-1865). Here are 10 Civil War facts taken from the Internet history channel, "The Seven Day Scholar," by Dennis and Peter Gaffney.
1. One-third of the soldiers who fought in the Union Army were immigrants, and nearly 1 in 10 were African American.
2. Black Union soldiers refused their salaries for 18 months to protest being paid lower wages than white soldiers.
3. Harriet Tubman led a raid to free slaves during the Civil War.
4. President Abraham Lincoln was shot at and almost killed nearly two years before he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theater in Washington D.C. (April 1865).
5. Before William T. Sherman became a Union general, he was demoted for apparent insanity.
6. General Ulysses S. Grant wasn't the bloodiest leader in the Civil War. Robert E. Lee was.
7. Both before and during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln pushed to send freed slaves abroad.
8. Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Virginia estate was confiscated by the union and turned into a cemetery during the war. It became Arlington National Cemetery.
9. Privates weren't cannon fodder during the Civil War, generals were.
10. More men died in the Civil War than any other American conflict, and two thirds of the dead perished from disease, sickness, and infection.
The next scheduled Cascade Civil War Society event is planned for the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 13 and 14 on the original site of historic Fort Klamath (Klamath County: Wood River Valley), 70 miles east of Ashland. Learn more about the Cascade Civil War Society at www.ccws.us. The Klamath Falls Herald and News usually posts these re-enactments for the public.

Conservative Libby: PUT YOUR DAMN BOOB AWAY!Liberal Libby: It's a beautiful, natural thing. Breast is best.CL: Trust me, that is not that kid's main source of food.LL: Well, it's comforting to the child. It's bonding.CL: Great, give her a little cuddle. Meg's binky is comforting to her, but we don't let her have that in class.LL: You really should start to wean her off of that.CL: Don't you start with me. We are talking about the boobs. How does that Mom not wear a bra? She's a very full figured woman.LL: I think that's called Rubenesque. If it makes you so uncomfortable, just don't look at her. Think of Rick Santorum's sweater vests.CL: Not cool. And like that's sooo easy. Oh my God, now she's dancing AND nursing?LL: You have to admit that's impressive multi-tasking.CL: Do you have any idea how many times I've almost sung "roll that little boob round the room"? Or how about "dance to your boobie?"LL: Stop it. You don't mind it when the other Moms in the class do it.CL: They have infants. Their children don't come up and undress them.LL: If you start discriminating against one breast feeding Mom, where do you stop? Who is going to draw the line?CL: Me. And I'm drawing it right over there.LL: We should blog about this.CL: Are you kidding? Why don't we just find an active mine field and go for a stroll?

I don't mind women breast feeding their infants in public. I think it's seriously creepy that a 4 year old is still nursing, ANYWHERE.
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
OMG, dude, my verification is new titfor. You can't make that shit up.

I think making a point with boob hats is perfect. 4 is too old to breastfeed in public in my humble opinion. Totally inappropriate.
- February 21, 2012 at 1:33 AM
- Granny Annie said...
Why not suggest she tuck a cookie under one of those Rubenesque tits and give the kid a choice. I'm betting the four year old would pick the cookie. If this was vital to the child's life and the family can't afford milk (only music lessons), then by all means, let the nursing begin. BUT if this is a quick snack, go with the cookie in public. Even my mother goats know when it is time to push the kid away.

I'm going to have to agree with Conservative Libby (oh god, did I just agree with a conservative?!) When I watched a two-year-old ask her mother's friend if she could nurse from that friend at a funeral luncheon a couple of years ago, I decided that if you're old enough to ask for the boob in sentences, you're old enough to not have it!

- Gina said...
I am totally militant about women's right to breastfeed wherever they damned well please, but I'll admit, a four year old is kind of disconcerting. BUT - I will have to deal with my own discomfort, because I feel like saying it's wrong for HER can lead to saying it;s wrong for the mother of the 3, or 2, or 1 year old or newborn, just because someone is bothered by it. It's too slippery a slope.

- Serial Monogamist said...
I'm afraid I'm with Gina.
However, I would not be able to keep myself from having a guttural reaction, blogging about it, or working the story about it into every conceivable conversation.
"Oh, is that goat cheese? Speaking of goats, there's this lady in a class I take ..."
"Nice hat. Makes me think of those boob hats. Come to think of it, there's this lady ..."
"What's that officer? I was going 4 miles over the speed limit? On the subject of the number 4 ..."

When I was a kid, one of my Mom's friends was one of these women. Her son who was five would come up, unbutton her shirt, pop her boob out and go to town.
I think I was eight.
It may have scarred me for life.

Shit. Yes weird and all that stuff but since this (and everything else ever...obviously) is about me, I'm just going to sob in a corner because I can no longer pretend people don't notice when I'm breastfeeding in public.
- February 21, 2012 at 10:41 AM
- Duffmano said...
Dude, I whip out my rack whenever I see that someone is looking forlorn and ask if a snack might help. You'd be surprised how many full grown men say yes!
Honestly, I'm going have to cop to breastfeeding my last kid until he could ask for it. Granted, he was an early talker but when everyone in the family began to gag I was forced to stop.

- The Sweetest said...
Well, I am going to go beyond CL and just say that it is fucked up. My 4 year old eats steak with a fork. He is on the verge of losing his first tooth and has feelings for the opposite sex. He doesn't even drink milk from a cup, much less my boob. I can remember being appalled when a two year old walked up and lifted up his mother's shirt to nurse. No, maam.

- You're Lucky I Don't Have a Gun... said...
I know this is a touchy subject and some women might say "You don't know until you've had a child".
I'm 100% for breastfeeding. Nobody is arguing the points of how beneficial it is. Buuuut, (in a fully developed country where we're surrounded by amenities) a child who's old enough to eat solid foods and walk and talk? Grosssssss. No way, man.
Also, why have I not been following you before??

There are no historical, ancestoral tribes/cultures that breastfed past 36 months (or no data I could find, at least).

- Three Cats and a Baby said...
That's a tough one. I'm fine with breast feeding into toddler years...but 4 is old. And in a class setting like that, it feels inappropriate.
The other day on the radio they were saying nobody should breast feed in public. Even if you have a newborn. You should just stay home or use a bathroom. I was yelling at the radio. (My yelling didn't make them stop.) One of them said women didn't have the right to educate their children on how babies are fed. Good grief. I can't imagine what they would do in that class.

You are officially my new hero. First, for being totally hilarious. Second, for agreeing with me--both sides. ;) And third, for being brave enough to blog about it! I was once at a party where I had a LOOOOONG chat with a very articulate 5-year-old who then walked over, whipped up her mother's shirt and latched onto her braless boob. And I felt my mouth fill with vomit. It wasn't the political me, or the judgey me. It was the instinctive me. If I can't justify it, I at least have to own it. :)

- The Twisted Tine said...
I totally just added that to my favorites on Etsy. Hope the lady doesn't get mad.
Yeah, I'd likely be veeeery uncomfortable in that situation, but would do my best to ignore it. I'm not really one to interject opinions over the matter in real life, but I am a fan of cutting cords at an early age for that sort of thing. It's bound to cause some longterm challenges for the kid, I'd think...

Competition invites students to invent the future of wireless technology
Posted on 19. Nov, 2010 by perspective in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Gift Report, Issues, Students
A new competition at UW-Madison will challenge students to discover and build the next big idea in wireless technology, a field that continues to transform the way the world communicates. The Qualcomm Wireless Innovation Prize, slated for April 28, 2011, will have student teams develop and prototype new wireless hardware and software ideas and combine them with tangible, market-ready business plans.
All UW-Madison undergraduates and master's-level graduate students are eligible to compete for prizes of $10,000 (first), $5,000 (second) and $2,500 (third). Student teams can also apply for up to $1,000 in equipment stipends for prototypes.
"Wireless technology today is the perfect platform for big thinking, because it has the potential to drive major progress not only in personal communication, but in healthcare, security, manufacturing and other fields," says Dean Paul Peercy. "The new Qualcomm wireless prize will build on the strong culture of innovation we are encouraging in UW-Madison students campus-wide."
Top technology prizes will be awarded the day of the annual G. Steven Burrill Technology Business Plan Competition, administered through the Wisconsin School of Business. The close association with Burrill will help wireless teams take their technology idea to the next level by partnering with business students and creating a business plan that could launch a new company.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor and Chair John Booske says the prize will be run in partnership with faculty and staff from electrical and computer engineering, computer sciences and business. "Wireless is part of our everyday lives, and this competition is for any student who imagines a creative new way to apply the technology," says Booske. "Technical knowledge is not a barrier to participation. We strongly encourage the formation of teams that bring the creative, technology and business expertise together."
The contest is based on a Qualcomm initiative called Venture Fest, which invites Qualcomm employees to follow a new wireless idea from proof of concept to a full-fledged business. The College of Engineering and the School of Business brought Qualcomm's creative approach to a university setting.
The competition is made possible by a gift from Qualcomm Inc. of San Diego, California. Qualcomm has graduate fellowship programs with a number of universities, but this is the one of the few university competitions it has sponsored around wireless applications. "We think UW-Madison is a great choice for this type of competition based on the strength of its electrical engineering and computer science programs, its excellent business school, and its commitment to fostering innovation in the student experience," says Qualcomm Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer William Keitel, a 1976 graduate of the Wisconsin School of Business. "Qualcomm also has a great relationship with UW-Madison and has hired many talented Badger alumni over the years."
Booske says competition ideas can be wide-ranging, including devices, designs and processes, and should meet the parameters of disclosure to the U.S. Patent Office. "We're looking for anything unique—the proverbial 'better mousetrap' with wireless assist," he says.

About the Author - LukeAnthony
When Luke isn't writing reviews, he's writing manuals (occupation), original comics (vocation), children's books, or music (recreation). As a lover of all things high-concept, sci-fi, and/or philosophical, comics found their way into his life only a few years ago, at the ripe age of 26. It was V for Vendetta & Watchmen that led to his pathological media consumption rebirth of 2012. Ever since then, he found himself happier, more child-like, a tad bit smarter, and a much better liar. True to Outhouser gospel, he believes humor, like water, must be present in all things. If it's not, it's too dry & sucks the life out. Sarcasm, the salty demeanor of the South, frightened this idealist in youth, but is now the occasional spice used in his well seasoned personality. He sold all he had to leave his old world behind (cars, house, belongings) & become a full-time traveler across the US of A, a decision that altered his inner world as much as his outer one. If it has humor, depth, spiritual significance, and/or technicality and in that order, then consider it on this briny dude's shelf and up for review. Favorite on-going series include Black Science and Saga. This light, but deep fellow can be found on Facebook and/or Twitter.

New Pearl Harbor Revisited, The9/11, the Cover-Up, and the ExposéDavid Ray Griffin
published 2008 6" x 9" • 358 pagesISBN 9781566567299 • paperback • $25.00 •
"Citing hundreds, if not thousands, of sources, Griffin's detailed analysis is far from reactionary or delusional, building a case that, though not conclusive, raises enough valid and disturbing questions to make his call for a new investigation more convincing than ever." Publishers Weekly (starred review: Pick of the Week, November 24, 2008)More Reviews »
In 2004, David Ray Griffin published The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11. Translated into several languages, it helped spark a worldwide movement demanding "9/11 truth." Even as it became increasingly outdated, it continued to be widely cited as the best introduction to the issues. Griffin has now written The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, which provides a chapter-by-chapter updating of the information provided in that earlier book. It shows that the case against the official account constructed by independent researchers - who now include architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, politicians, and former military officers - is far stronger than it was in 2004, leaving no doubt that 9/11 was a false-flag operation, designed to give the Bush-Cheney administration a pretext to attack oil-rich Muslim nations. Taken together, these two books provide everything one needs to make an informed decision about 9/11 - whether one is a journalist, a political leader, a religious leader, or an ordinary citizen concerned about truth, democracy, and the rule of law.
David Ray Griffin, who has published over 30 books, is professor of philosophy of religion and theology, emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, where he remains a co-director of the Center for Process Studies.
Olive Branch Press
Media Reviews
"Author and professor Griffin...knows his work is referred to by officials and the media as conspiracy theory, and he has a rebuttal: the official theory is itself a conspiracy theory. In this companion volume to 2004's "The New Pearl Harbor"...Griffin provides corrections, raises new issues and discusses the two most important official reports about 9/11, the 9/11 Commission Report and the National Institute of Standards and Technology report on the Twin Towers, both prepared by people highly responsive to the wishes of the White House and riddled with omission and distortion from beginning to end. Griffin addresses many points in exhaustive detail, from the physical impossibility of the official explanation of the towers collapse to the Commission's failure to scrutinize the administration to the NISTs contradiction of its own scientists to the scads of eyewitness and scientific testimony in direct opposition to official claims. Citing hundreds, if not thousands, of sources, Griffin's detailed analysis is far from reactionary or delusional, building a case that, though not conclusive, raises enough valid and disturbing questions to make his call for a new investigation more convincing than ever."Publishers Weekly (starred review: Pick of the Week, November 24, 2008)
"David Ray Griffin stands at the center of one of the most impressive citizen research projects in history. In this superb new volume, he draws together a great quantity of recent evidence and demonstrates beyond question the fraudulent nature of the official account of 9/11." Dr. Graeme MacQueen, Founder of McMaster University's Center for Peace StudiesNowhere is it clearer that truth is now considered quaint, obsolete here in Washington, than in the disingenuous non-answers to questions about the cavernous holes in the official version of 9/11-and the flippant attempts to marginalize intrepid souls like David Ray Griffin, branded blasphemous by the likes of Tucker Carlson. Facing straight into this rancid wind, Griffin now provides a definitive account that updates and integrates his earlier findings. Will Congress ever authorize an honest investigation of the seminal event of our time?--Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and presidential briefer This latest book by David Ray Griffin is scholarly research at its best. Meticulous empirical investigation and painstaking analysis are combined to refute the official 9/11 narrative. Every event surrounding the tragic events of September 11, 2001, is subjected to close scrutiny, ultimately with a view to revealing the lies and upholding the truth. In this fascinating and skillfully researched exposé, Griffin demonstrates unequivocally that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.--Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics and author of "Americas War on Terrorism""Mr. Griffin has again painstakingly laid bare the many lingering questions and inconsistencies of the official story regarding the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. Sadly, millions of taxpayer dollars have been squandered on investigations that yielded no accountability, few answers, and fewer reforms. Yet, the attacks of September 11, 2001 have been wantonly used as political and policy fodder. Without truth, there can be no accountability. Without accountability, there can be no real change. Without change, we remain at risk." Monica Gabrielle, widow of Richard Gabrielle, who was killed at WTC2 on 9/11/01, member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission
"President Bush and Vice President Cheney have many questions to answer in light of this book. This time they should have to testify separately and under oath. Unlike their testimony at the 9/11 Commission, behind closed doors, this should be open testimony." Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota, 19992003 "Citizens in many countries are waging a war on the cover-up of the basis for the so-called war on terrorthis basis being the official interpretation of the 9/11 attacks. Along with the Internet, which has equipped both public figures and ordinary citizens to wage this war on the cover-up, David Ray Griffin has revealed dozens of omissions, distortions, and contradictions in the official story in a way that provides undeniable evidence of its falsity. The New Pearl Harbor Revisited presents a powerful exposé of the false narrative that has been driving the mainstream political agenda since 9/11. It is now up to politicians and journalists around the world to expose this truth to our peoples." Yukihisa Fujita, member of the House of Councilors, the Diet of Japan"Circuses use people to clean up their elephantsa dirty job, but someone has to do it. The 9/11 Commissioners evidently likened themselves to circus workers, cleaning up after the (Republican) elephant. They did a very sloppy job, making it easy to see that 9/11 was an inside job. The contrary viewthat the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Arab Muslimshas been the source of innumerable evils, which threaten to destroy our country and the world itself. David Griffin's New Pearl Harbor Revisited contains everything needed by Congress and the press to see through the most massive crime and cover-up in our history." Edward Asner, actor and citizen "With this work, Dr. Griffin cements his place as the preeminent spokesperson for the growing number of people who demand answers to an expanding list of questions about 9/11. . . . Even those members of the 9/11 Truth Movement who have immersed themselves thoroughly in the subject will find new information here, presented in the precise and very readable style Dr. Griffin has brought to each of his books. . . . Absent a revival of investigative journalisma dim prospect at best, in view of the media ownership concentrationbooks like this one, arming the informed citizen with solid information and providing a basis for demanding direct action, appear to be our best hope." Shelton F. Lankford, Lt. Col. US Marine Corps (Ret.)"You and I, along with all citizens of the world, are victims of a heinous crime. The conspiracy that generated the Twin Tower photo-op, blamed the 9/11 attacks on Arab Muslims, and misdirected truth-seekers by destruction of evidence and willful misrepresentation is masterfully exposed in this book. Who had the motive, means and opportunity to demolish three skyscrapers, including Building 7, which was not even attacked by a mere airplane? Who could penetrate the Earth's most heavily defended air space and fortressthe Pentagon? What was their motive? Greed to concentrate power, to control access to the last drop of Gaia's reserve hydrocarbon energy? But, alas, who thinks of our children? David Ray Griffin, apolitical scholar and theologian, was transformed by the coup d'etat into a superb scientist-journalist. By documenting the tragic 9/11 crime, this consummate educator has done us victims a profound service." Lynn Margulis, Distinguished University Professor, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and National Medal of Science recipient
In The New Pearl Harbor, Dr. Griffin raised serious questions about the destruction of the World Trade Center---the part of the official conspiracy theory about 9/11 with which I have been especially concerned. Now, in The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, he continues to pierce the heart of the official story with his signature penetrating research, this time sharpened with arguments provided by physical scientists, architects, and engineers. He definitely delivers the technical goods. Message to authors of the NIST Report: The charade is over!--Richard Gage, member of American Institute of Architects, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth

- Describe the occurrence of amyloidosis in the population of HIBA, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.
- Describe the characteristics of clinical presentation, evolution and predisposing factors of amyloidosis.
|Condition or disease
Amyloidosis is a systemic disease that is usually a result of misfolded proteins in the form of amorphous fibrillar material in various tissues and can cause progressive dysfunction of the same. The prevalence of amyloidosis varies depending on the population concerned and the type of amyloid. While prevalence in the general population is unknown, according to estimates by the Mayo Clinic this prevalence is 1 in 90 666% in the U.S. In England this disease generated about 0.0084% (1367 / 16232579) of all hospital visits between April 2008 and April 2009.
The most common clinical manifestations include cardiac disease, renal and liver function, but it may vary widely depending on the type of amyloidosis, the organ infected and extent of the deposits. Amyloid infiltration can produce signs and symptoms that may be very similar to other rheumatic diseases. This may suggest potential clinical polymorphic underdiagnosis due to low clinical suspicion.
The registries are organized systems of systematic data collection of a large number of patients quickly and efficiently on a particular disease at a given time.
The main difficulty of the registries is the guarantee of the quality of their data.
The main objectives of the registry are:
- Understand risk factors and prognosis.
- Evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic comparison with current standards.
- Advance knowledge of the disease to optimize the assessment, treatment and monitoring of patients.
- Analyze the effectiveness of new therapies.
- Studying differences between populations.
- Quickly estimate the morbidity, mortality and resource utilization associated with a disease entity.
- Examine the course of a disease
- Formulate novel hypotheses for further prospective studies. Currently, there are registries for patients with transthyretin amyloidosis (TAHOS), global registry of transplant patients with familial amyloid poly neuropathy. Also, there are indirect registries such as the kidney transplant, heart transplant, among others.
The investigators found no data on the prevalence or incidence, evolution and prognosis of amyloidosis in our country. There are no existing records of national Amyloidosis in Latin America that could describe the behavior of this disease in our environment. Because it is a chronic disease with amyloid infiltration and can produce signs and symptoms that may be very similar to other rheumatic diseases, this clinic potentially poliform, may suggest underestimation of low clinical suspicion. As there is no cure, some patients may persist symptomatic despite adequate therapy, that is why it is important the creation of a monitoring system to generate data on the evolution and prognosis. The data registries can be used to develop new treatment guidelines and recommendations, also to inform and educate physicians on the management of this disease.
The Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires is a center of high complexity of derivation of this type of pathology and due to the fact that the hospital, that has a private health insurance system (HIBA's health plan [plan de salud, PS], gives the unique opportunity denominators for the generation of a population on their affiliates, therefore the investigators propose to make a Institutional Registry of Amyloidosis.
