Amgen Inc.'s new CEO Robert A. Bradway, who took the helm of the biotechnology giant in May, nearly doubled his salary last year.
Bradway, who was promoted to chief executive from chief operating officer on May 23, saw his compensation rise to $13.6 million from $7.1 million in 2011, according to an Associated Press analysis of a company regulatory filing
Last year, Bradway, 50, was paid a salary of $1.26 million and received stock awards worth $8.57 million, incentive payments of $3.32 million and miscellaneous compensation totaling $420,059. That included nearly $314,000 in retirement plan contributions, $65,000 for personal use of company aircraft, more than $20,000 for his personal expenses and those of guests during business travel, and $15,000 for financial planning services.
Amgen, the world's biggest biotech company by revenue, reported the figures Monday in a proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ahead of Amgen's annual meeting on May 22.
The company, based in Thousand Oaks, Calif., stopped granting stock options to top executives starting in 2012.
Former CEO Kevin W. Sharer, who stepped down from his seat on Amgen's board when he retired on Dec. 31, 2012, received compensation totaling $9.13 million last year.
Sharer was paid a 2012 salary of $1.81 million and received stock awards worth $3.66 million, incentive payments of $2.31 million and miscellaneous compensation totaling $1.36 million. That included $801,000 in retirement plan contributions, nearly $262,000 for personal use of company aircraft, more than $38,000 for his personal expenses and those of guests during business travel, $15,000 for financial planning services and more than $255,000 for secretarial, information technology and travel support. Much of that support runs through 2017.
The Associated Press formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards for 2012 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.

Aztreonam Lysine Solution For Nebulization
GENERIC NAME(S): Aztreonam Lysine
This medication is used to treat people with a certain inherited condition (cystic fibrosis) who have a persistent lung infection with a certain bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). People with cystic fibrosis produce thick, sticky mucus that can plug up the tubes, ducts and passageways in the lungs. This can result in serious breathing problems and infections in the lungs.
Aztreonam belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-lactams. Aztreonam inhalation solution works by stopping the growth of a certain bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) that commonly infects the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. This effect decreases lung infections and damage, decreases the use of other antibiotics, and helps to improve breathing.
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as the common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.
How to use Aztreonam Lysine Solution For Nebulization
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using this medication and each time you get a refill. This medication is used with a special machine called a nebulizer that changes the solution to a fine mist that you inhale. Learn and follow all instructions for the use of this medication and the nebulizer. Children may need help from an adult to use this medication properly. If you have any questions, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist.
Before treatment with inhaled aztreonam, you should inhale a bronchodilator (such as albuterol, formoterol, salmeterol). Ask your pharmacist or doctor how soon to pre-treat with the specific bronchodilator you are using.
Use this medication with the nebulizer as directed by your doctor, usually three times a day (every 8 hours). Each treatment lasts about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not swallow or inject this medication. This medicine is usually used for 28 days in a row, followed by 28 days without this medication, repeating the cycle until your doctor directs you to stop.
Each vial of aztreonam is for one-time use. Inspect each vial before use. Discard the vial if the prepared solution is cloudy or has particles in it, or if it has expired or has been stored at room temperature for longer than 28 days. Use all of the contents of the vial for each dose immediately after mixing the medication. Do not mix aztreonam with any other medicines in the nebulizer.
Do not use other forms of aztreonam in the nebulizer. Other forms of aztreonam may contain arginine which can cause breathing problems if inhaled.
For the best effect, use this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, use this medication at the same time(s) every day.
Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.
Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Side Effects
Cough, chest discomfort, or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: wheezing, trouble breathing.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using aztreonam inhalation solution, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to penicillins, cephalosporins, or certain other antibiotics (such as imipenem, meropenem); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: kidney problems.
Aztreonam may cause live bacterial vaccines (such as typhoid vaccine) to not work as well. Do not have any immunizations/vaccinations while using this medication unless your doctor tells you to.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is unknown if inhaled aztreonam passes into breast milk. However, other forms of this drug pass into breast milk in very small amounts, and many doctors consider breastfeeding safe while using this drug. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Some of the products that may interact with this drug include: cefoxitin, imipenem.
This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use. Share this list with your doctor and pharmacist to lessen your risk for serious medication problems.
Overdose is unlikely with aztreonam that is inhaled or swallowed. However, if someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (such as breathing tests, bacterial cultures) may be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.

Gold futures prices have been forming a based during the past week, and are poised to attempt to move higher. Bernanke's testimony on Wednesday and Thursday was perceived as relatively dovish, which eroded the value of the dollar and increased investors' appetite for the yellow metal. Mixed economic data in the U.S. allowed U.S. 10-year yields to decline toward 2.5%, which helped gold future prices gain traction.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was on the hill Wednesday and Thursday giving his bi-annual testimony to both chambers of congress on monetary policy. His prepared statements focused on the lack of solid U.S. employment and that bond purchases would remain consistent until economic conditions improved.
Perception seemed to have changed and U.S. yields now reflect less of a chance that the Fed will begin to taper its bond purchases in September of 2013. Over the past week U.S. yields have declined from 2.70% to 2.50%. The decline in yields has eroded the value of the dollar, which has allowed gold futures prices to edge higher. One of the issues investors faced in early June was grappling with the Fed comments that bond purchases could be tapered in the near future while economic performance was moderating. Now that Bernanke has clearly stated that QE will be tied to employment, market volatility should be reduced.
Economic global data was mixed during the past week with the U.K. showing employment strength and analysts reducing GDP prospects in the U.S. The Claimant count in the U.K. printed better than expected, reflecting an economy that will show modest growth. U.S. retail sales were worse than expected printing at .4% compared to .8% expected by economists. Auto's make up the bulk of the gains, as the ex-autos retail sales number showed contraction. Growth projections in the U.S. are now less than 1% for the 2nd quarter, which does not warrant a tapering of bond purchase.

Hedge funds have moved back into long futures positions according to the latest commitment of traders report released for the week. According to the CFTC, managed money increased long positions by 3,300 contracts while they also increased short positions by 2,000 contracts.
The technical picture for gold futures prices is positive, but futures will need to recapture key resistance levels to gain momentum. Resistance is seen near a downward sloping trend line near 1,300 and then former support levels near 1,324. Support is seen near the 10-day moving average near 1,271.
Momentum on the August contract is accelerating as the MACD recently generated a buy signal as the spread (the 12-day moving average minus the 26-day moving average) has crossed above the 9-day moving average of the spread. The index has moved from negative to positive confirming the buy signal. The RSI (relative strength index) has climbed back to the 50 level which is in the middle of the neutral range.

KIROV, Russia (AP) — The embezzlement trial of a Russian opposition leader was adjourned for a week shortly after it started Wednesday in a northwestern city besieged by hundreds of activists and journalists. In the evening, hundreds more rallied in Moscow to show their support.
Lawyer and anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny, who spearheaded anti-government protests in 2011, and his former colleague are accused of leading an organized criminal group that embezzled 16 million rubles ($500,000) worth of timber from a state-owned company in the city of Kirov.
The charges not only threaten to send the 36-year-old Navalny to prison, but strike at the essence of his image as an anti-corruption activist. Navalny says the charges are an act of revenge for his exposure of high-level corruption.
As the trial began, several dozen activists protested in support of Navalny outside the courthouse in Kirov, chanting, "We will not let you go!"
At the Moscow rally, Lyudmila Alexeyeva, an 85-year-old human rights activist and former Soviet dissident, was among those who spoke out in Navalny's defense.
"Everyone present here is well aware that he is not guilty of what he is accused of and everyone present here knows that in spite of this he will be found guilty," Alexeyeva told the crowd. "This is our justice system."
Navalny's lawyer, Olga Mikhailova, asked the court in her opening remarks to adjourn the trial for a month, because her client wasn't given enough time to read the case files. Mikhailova also contested the court's refusal to submit financial documents that could prove that what the prosecutors describe as embezzlement was a regular business deal.
Even before Navalny became a key figure in the anti-government protests that erupted in 2011, the lawyer was a persistent thorn in the establishment's side with his extensive blogging on Russia's staggering high-level corruption. Authorities admit the trial is connected to his prominent activities, although they deny overt political motivations.
Navalny insists the charges are intended to silence him on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, who has cracked down on dissent since returning for a third term last year.
Navalny says the prosecution evidence of embezzlement is actually evidence in his defense. He insists that he has documents to prove that the transaction of selling timber went through and no money was stolen. Courts have not listed a victim in the embezzlement and rejected his appeals to conduct expert analyses of the fraud. Navalny has commissioned three independent reviews himself, all of which conclude no crime was committed, and posted all the case documents online for download in an attempt to clear his name.
"I'm not even going to say any banal stock phrases about how the case has been fabricated and falsified and I'm completely innocent, because I posted all the documents online and anyone can see that for themselves, even if they don't have any legal education," Navalny said after the judge, Sergei Blinov, adjourned the trial for a week until April 24.
Konstantin Zaitsev, the chief judge at the Kirov City Court, said Blinov, 35, has acquitted no defendant in his career as a magistrate. That is in line with the Russian justice system's conviction rate of more than 99 percent.
Hundreds of activists and journalists descended upon Kirov, a muddy post-industrial city of derelict roads and Soviet-era tower blocks, booking up all train tickets and hotels and scrumming outside the court from the middle of the night in an attempt to get inside.
Russia's former finance minister, Alexei Kudrin, who served under Putin between 2000 and 2011, voiced his support for Navalny on Tuesday, saying that the criminal case against the lawyer "casts doubts on the basics of the market economy in Russia."

Corticosteroids are strong anti-inflammatory drugs. They are used to reduce swelling that causes cancer pain.
Corticosteroids are available as pills, syrups, injections, and intravenous (IV) solutions. The type and extent of a disease determines the exact dose and schedule of administering these drugs.
Corticosteroids reduce swelling and inflammation that may cause cancer pain. They are used with other drugs, such as ondansetron and aprepitant, to control and prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
Corticosteroids work well to reduce swelling and pain caused by cancer.1 When they are used with other drugs, such as ondansetron and aprepitant, they may control and prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.2
Side effects are common with steroids and can include:
Some problems may occur with long-term use. These include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
During treatment with corticosteroids, do not take any other prescription or non-prescription medicines, including herbal products, without first talking to your doctor. Many other drugs can interact with corticosteroids, resulting in side effects or changes in how well the drugs work.
Do not stop taking corticosteroids suddenly. Withdrawal effects can occur. So it is very important to take the prescribed dose at the times recommended by your doctor. You will be given instructions on how to reduce (taper) your dose gradually at the end of your treatment. Have your doctor write these instructions out for you. If you have any questions about how to taper your dose, call your doctor. Tapering is usually only needed if you use corticosteroids for a long time. It may not be needed if you use the steroids only for short periods.
Dexamethasone, if given too rapidly by IV, may cause temporary itching or burning in the vaginal or rectal area. This goes away after a few minutes.
To minimize side effects of oral corticosteroids, take your pills with a full glass of liquid and a small snack.
Corticosteroids should be used during pregnancy only if the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the fetus. If you are or may be pregnant, talk to your doctor before using corticosteroids. This drug can pass through your body into breast milk and should not be used while you are breast-feeding.
Avoid sources of infection. Wash your hands frequently, and keep them away from your mouth and eyes. Your immune system may be weakened while you are taking corticosteroids.
Steroids used to treat cancer and cancer pain are not the same as steroids used by body builders (anabolic steroids).
Do not use alcohol or street drugs while you are taking corticosteroids. Tell your doctor if you need more pain relief.

Current federal law requires each eligible institution participating in Title IV federal financial aid programs to provide student financial assistance and other institutional information. Law students must adhere to the same policies and practices established by Saint Louis University as any other student including financial aid policies if they are receiving Title IV federal financial aid. This includes maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to be eligible for financial aid.
Each student has a right and responsibility for knowing the University policies, in addition to the policies established by the School of Law. The student is the borrower and, as such, the financial aid status of law students will only be discussed with the student.
As in other schools, the primary responsibility for meeting the educational and personal maintenance costs rests with the student. Financial aid is awarded to help in meeting direct educational expenses. The total amount of aid awarded cannot exceed the standard cost of attendance budget for a student at this law school. Students who plan to request financial aid through the federal government must submit a FAFSA. Falsification or misrepresentation of any part of the financial aid application or process will result in denial, withdrawal or required repayment of aid funds. Misrepresentation of information submitted on applications for federally sponsored funds will subject the filer to sanctions under provisions of the United States Criminal Code. Academic transcripts and enrollment verifications will be withheld for any student/graduate who defaults on University loans or federal loan aid directly administered by SLU LAW.
Tuition Assessment
Law students are typically enrolled for a fall and spring semester with tuition billed one semester at a time. Bills for the fall semester are mailed at the end of July with payment arrangements due in August. Bills for the spring semester are mailed in December with payment arrangements due in January.
Financial arrangements for the Fall semester are due by August 1. For those student registered prior to July 1, semester billing statements will be mailed July 10. If students have not received a billing statement or registered after July 1, student can view their bills online. View the Bill Payment Suite Instructions.
Financial arrangements for the Spring semester are due by January 2. For those students registered prior to December 1, semester billing statements will be mailed out December 10. If students have not received a billing statement or registered after December 1, students can view their bills online. View the Bill Payment Suite Instructions.
Student who have not received a bill should also check their addresses on Banner Self-Service. Bills are mailed to the address type in this order: billing, permanent and then local. Update any old addresses and add your correct billing, permanent and local addresses.
There are three payment plans available for students:
1. Pay your semester bill in full to Saint Louis University. The balance can be covered in full by student aid, such as scholarships, remission and loans. No finance charge will accrue if the account is paid in full by the stated due date. Full payment for the fall semester is Aug 1; full payment for the spring semester is Jan 1.
2. Make monthly interest-free payments during the semester. If you choose this option, you will be assessed a per-semester fee of $75.00.
3. Make monthly payments during the semester. If you choose this option, you will be assessed a 1% interest charge each month on your unpaid balance.
Payment Due Dates
For either of the monthly plans, payment due dates are Aug. 1, Sept. 1, Oct. 1, Nov. 1 and Dec. 1 for the semester and Jan. 1, Feb. 1, March 1, April 1 and May 1 for the spring semester.
Choosing a payment plan
Typically, students with an outstanding balance of between $4,000 and $5,000 or more will benefit from choosing the payment plan with the enrollment fee (option 2). Students with smaller outstanding balances are more likely to benefit from choosing the payment plan with the 1% interest charge (option 3).
Late Payments
Under either payment option, a $50 late fee will be assessed each time a payment is submitted late. Students enrolled in the payment plan with the enrollment fee (option 2) will automatically be switched to the payment plan with the 1% interest charge (option 3) if they are late making more than one payment. Interest charges and late fees will not be assessed until after Sept. 1 for the fall semester.
All law students are expected to comply with the University's tuition payment schedule as published in the General University bulletin and listed on the tuition bill. Any student who fails to meet the University's announced deadline for the initial tuition payment will be dropped from their classes. When financial arrangements have been completed, the student may be re-registered and there is a $50 late registration fee that will be charged. There are no exceptions to this late registration fee.
Refund Policy
Students who matriculate, pay the assessed tuition and then withdraw from the School of Law may be refunded a portion of the paid tuition. For the fall/spring semester, a student may withdraw up to the end of the second week of classes and be refunded 100% of the tuition charge; up to the end of the third week of classes will be 90%; up to the end of the fourth week of classes will be 80%; and, up to the end of the fifth week of classes will be 70%; at the beginning of the sixth week of classes no tuition will be refunded.
Students who drop classes during the fall/spring semesters and do not withdraw from the School may only receive a 100% refund in the difference in tuition costs during the first two weeks of classes. At the beginning of the third week of classes, there will be no tuition refunds for changing enrollment and dropping classes.
For the summer semester, a student may withdraw up to the point of the first week of classes and be refunded 100% of the tuition charge; up to the end of the second week of classes will be 80%; and up to the end of the third week of classes will be 60%.

The couple had just left a house party in the 1300 block of Scoville Avenue SW.
A man was shot in the leg Thursday night as he left a house party in the same block where someone reportedly had a gun the day before.
But no one called police.
Michael D. Hardee, 21, of Seneca Street in Alliance, told police that he and his girlfriend were walking in the 1800 block of Gayle Place SW about 9 p.m. when he suffered a gunshot wound, said Lt. James Cole of the police department's patrol division.
The couple had been heading to a drive-through business from a house party two blocks away in the 1300 block of Scoville Avenue SW "when he heard a pop," Cole said.
Since Jan. 1, police have been called 22 times to the 1300 block of Scoville for a variety of incidents ranging from disturbances and "trouble" to thefts, assaults and breaking and entering, police records show.
But Hardee didn't call police. Neither did his girlfriend.
It wasn't until he made it to Aultman Hospital that the police were notified. Hospital personnel alerted police that a man had arrived with a gunshot wound, Cole said.
Hardee told police he didn't know who shot him, Cole said. He knew only that he and his girlfriend were walking when he told her he'd been shot and that he lie in the grass as she ran back to the house party to get a car to take him to the hospital.
Police had been to the 1300 block of Scoville the day before in response to a fight involving five people and a gun. Police recovered a gun, but determined that no shots had been fired.
They also arrested two brothers.
A 19-year-old man who lives in the 1300 block of Scoville "refused to calm down, go away or be quiet and stop interfering with officers handling the call," the jail records said. Learning he was about to be arrested, his older brother told him to run and then tried to prevent police from following him.
Police arrested and jailed both brothers, each on misdemeanor charges of obstructing official business and disorderly conduct. The Repository does not typically name misdemeanor crime suspects.
Police did not say whether they believe the Thursday night shooting was related to the Wednesday incident.

tearsMonday, June 11, 2007
It has been crazy busy around here with all of the end of year school functions. Last Thursday night Charlie had his recognition night for the end of his elementary years. Next year he will be headed to the middle school. How did this happen? Didn't I just bring him home from the hospital? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was smelling his sweet breast fed breath? Didn't I just send him to pre-school? I know he just started kindergarten. How could he possibly be going to middle school? It is amazing how many tears your kids bring you. I am such a town cryner, and cry at every little milestone. And to tell you the truth all of his years at the elementary school are all one big blur. I just hate that. I also hate how stinkin' fast time is going.
I made a few tissue cozy's for a few of my friends who also cry as much as me. We needed them last Thursday night. The kids all sang a dinosaur songs that they sang when they were in kindergarten. Their voices all seem as sweet. Ahhhh! Tearing up again. I have to get a tissue.
I used the tutorial from tutti fruiti. And they do only take 5 minutes! This fabric is from fabric shack, summer in the city. They must be out of the paisley. I made a small change, and made two 6x4 rectangles and two 6x4 1/2 rectangles for the top pieces. I kind of like them to overlap a bit.
chips and nuts....optional

Awwwww . . . kids' milestones make me cry too!ReplyDelete
I adore the cute tissue holders -- ingenious.
The cookies look yummy too!
- gina L.6/11/2007
I need some tissues too! Chicky is my youngest and she is entering middle school next year as well. The sad part is I have already gone through it with my boys. From middle school through high school flies by even faster. I have been fantasizing about having an other baby. I am not looking forward to the attitudes and eye rolling stage.ReplyDelete
I got all teary just reading that post, jeez Leslie, but luckily you ended it sweetly with my favorite recipe too!ReplyDelete
I don't know what I am going to do when I have kids, they will probably tease me for being such a happy crier.
Yummm! I usually get a crispy batch when I make cookies, though not on purpose.ReplyDelete
I hear you on the breast fed breathe. I still have those days, but feal just as sad that they are going to be over as I will when they are over. I think it is hardest to look back at pictures of them because these years are the years they grow like weeds. We stay pretty much the same, they morph into teenagers way too fast.
Hang in there! That tissue pocket is a great idea.
the tissue holders are adorable!! and your little tags look so cute sewn in. It is amazing how quickly time goes... I am off to my 20 year class reunion - it really doesn't seem like that long!ReplyDelete

All of your sewing is inspiring me . . I've been bugging John to build me a sewing machine table for our little "office" room I also use for some craft things.ReplyDelete
Have you ever noticed the book in Stitches? Definitely check it out.
I know what you mean about kids growing up and time flying by. I don't think there's a day that goes by that I don't think about something in my own life . . but then I have to pinch myself to remember that my "little" sister is 27 and in grad school. Unbelievable. I still remember the day she and my mom came home and I ran all the way from the bus stop, up the lawn to the front door, and busted in running right up to her cradle and leaning over and kissing her. I will never forget how she smelled when my mom snuck me up to the "baby ward" when they were in the hospital and I got to kiss her for the first time . . and I put my hand lightly on her butt (she was face down at the time, with her head turned to the side). That moment is burned into my memory.
*sigh* I would give anything to go back and re-live all of it again.
You're right... time does fly, and I can imagine especially so when you have kids.ReplyDelete
I love the tissue holders!
These are so pretty. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who tears easily where kiddies are concerned.ReplyDelete
Those tissue holders are beyond precious...my daughter is going into 7th grade and I'm having a hard time with it, because it means that I am MIDDLE AGED!!ReplyDelete
Ohh, so fun, useful and stylishly colorful. Love them! Yum, the cookies look good, too!ReplyDelete

Leaps and bounds: Dance instructor steps into 40th year of instructionREAD ONLINE
Valentine's Day aphrodisiacsOriginally Published February 14, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
Updated February 13, 2013 at 10:26 a.m.
The great question of love — the answer to that puzzle has been studied literally since the beginning of time (remember Adam and Eve?) with little progress. Whether examined through an objective or a subjective lens, the inevitable attraction to someone else is often so perplexing, we just throw up our hands and chalk it up to that other black hole of questions, fate.
That brings us to the day that is celebrated as the Super Bowl of Love, St. Valentine's Day. According to Wikipedia, the real St. Valentine was martyred in Rome in 269 AD, and America has its own claim to fame with the mob-related St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago in 1929, but don't let those pesky details derail our Hallmark happiness train.
Modern-day celebrations are happier times, marked with hearts, flowers, cards and candy, and dreamy dinners. How about ramping up a night of romance with a few aphrodisiacs on the menu? The myth and mystery of foods that arouse desire is another puzzle with few sound answers, but what is a fact is that certain foods' reputations have stood the test of time as a sure way to the heart.
There is fact that goes along with the fantasy. According to the website homecooking.about.com — oysters and caviar are high in zinc, which is shown to increase testosterone production. Chocolate contains both a sedative, which relaxes and lowers inhibitions, and a stimulant to increase activity and the desire for physical contact.
The sweet, spicy smell of nutmeg sweetens the breath and is used as a stimulant, which increases body heat, and vanilla affects the hypothalamus, a gland in the brain that controls emotion and memory, the website states.
And of course, festive champagne and other forms of alcohol lower inhibitions and instill a feeling of warmth and well-being, according to the website.
These foods may have aphrodisiac properties, but whether they do shouldn't matter because one of the things that inspires love and increases desire is to make something special for your someone special — gets the heart pounding every time.
The original recipe for this decadent, delicious dish was created at Antoine's Restaurant in New Orleans in 1899 and remains a secret to this day. The dish was so rich, it was named after the richest man in the world at the time, John D. Rockefeller. This version is very close to the classic.
1 garlic clove
2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach, chopped, or 1 package chopped frozen spinach, thawed and excess liquid squeezed out
1/2 cup chopped green onions, white and green portions
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, divided use
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, ground
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound (about) rock salt
24 fresh oysters, shucked, shells reserved OR 1 pint shucked oysters
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Position rack in top third of oven, and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine finely chopped garlic, spinach and green onions. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan in separate bowl and set aside.
In a heavy skillet, heat butter until bubbling. Add chopped spinach mixture, fennel seeds, nutmeg, pepper sauce and wine. Saute until spinach wilts and wine is reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
In order to keep oyster shells from sliding on your pan, sprinkle rock salt over large baking sheet to depth of 1/2 inch (this salt will be discarded.) Mix panko, Parmesan and remaining butter. Arrange oyster shells on top of rock salt. Top each oyster with 1 tablespoon spinach mixture and one teaspoon breadcrumb mixture. Bake until brown and bubbly; serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges, about 8 minutes.
Cook's note: If you can't get freshly shucked oysters with the shell in your area, don't worry. My solution was to go to a restaurant that serves them and ask for several dozen shells. (They throw them away anyway.) You can actually keep them for years — I sterilize mine in the dishwasher after use and store them in a box when they are dry. Shucked oysters in plastic tubs are widely available in the seafood department of many supermarkets.
8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate (high quality, more than 60 percent cocoa solids), chopped well into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cocoa powder
Truffle coatings as desired: finely chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts), shredded coconut, cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar in a pie pan for finishing
In a small, heavy saucepan, bring the whipping cream to a simmer. Stir and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula during this process.
Place the chocolate in a separate bowl. Pour the warmed cream over the chocolate, add the vanilla, and allow to stand until the chocolate begins to soften, and stir until smooth.
Put enough cocoa powder in a pie pan to lightly coat truffles.
Allow chocolate mixture to cool; then refrigerate for two hours. With a teaspoon, melon baller or small scoop, form 1-inch balls from the hardened chocolate mixture. Working quickly, roll between your palms to finish balls (chocolate will melt a little). Roll lightly in cocoa powder or other desired coatings, transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet, and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
These decadent confections are simple to make and delightful to eat. Anytime a recipe has just a few ingredients, using the best quality is very important. Make sure to use high-grade chocolate, preferably with more than 60 percent cocoa solids, to yield the best treats. You can personalize your candies with your favorite coatings, such as shredded coconut, finely chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds, or my favorite, just a little roll in cocoa powder. Be careful — these are addictive.
This recipe has been adapted from Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites.
1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate (60 percent cocoa solids)
2 eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Place a baking sheet in the oven, and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Butter 4 1-cup ramekins.
In a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water or in the microwave (check your owner's manual for directions — all microwaves are different), melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter; then set aside to cool.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and flour. Beat in the cooled butter and chocolate
mixture. Divide the mixture between the ramekins.
Place the ramekins on the warmed baking sheet; bake for about 20 minutes. When the mixture is done, the tops will be cooked and cracked, and the chocolate will be loosely set underneath.
Serve immediately with whipped cream, if desired.
Cook's note: These desserts will be hot.

The NFL would be so much more interesting if it were narrow-minded.
By that I mean the league should narrow the uprights.
With kickers steadily improving — they're on pace for their most accurate season — the league should consider reducing the current width of 18 feet, 6 inches, to create more intrigue with field goals and maybe even extra points. College goal posts are also 18-6 wide.
Fans wouldn't complain, at least the ones who constantly plead for their favorite team to go for it on fourth down instead of opting for three points.
Imagine how interesting it would be if 35-yarders were no longer "gimmes." Let no points be automatic.
"We're going to see guys get better and better; there's more science behind it now," said retired NFL kicker Michael Husted, now a kicking coach and consultant.

Most people experience one or more of the same group of common challenges to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while at work. Keeping your weight under control is among the most common as is finding the time and place for physical activity during the workday. Managing stress and avoiding bad coping strategies such as smoking are also among the most widely cited difficulties. Luckily there are many resources and an abundance of helpful suggestions and information which can be used to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle in the workplace.
Nutrition & Weight Management
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid offers the ChooseMyPlate.gov website, which offers comprehensive nutritional information. The NetWellness Wellness Center features a wide array of tools to help you meet your nutrition and fitness goals . These resources offer suggestions that can help guide you towards making good nutritional decision during the work day.
Physical Activity
Regular exercise is a key component in keeping yourself healthy and well. The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and the American Heart Association offer guidance in setting and meeting fitness goals. Coworkers, friends, and family can keep each other motivated by working together to track their progress. Also of value are exercises that you can do while at work to improve strength, flexibility, and overall health.
Stress Management
Stress is a major source of health problems and the workplace is a major source of stress. This comprehensive report on reducing work related stress can be helpful in improving your mood, energy level, and physical health. This collection of articles provides information on the sources, risks, and benefits of stress in a work environment.
Tobacco Cessation
Learning about the benefits of a smoke free workplace may motivate you in your efforts to successfully quit smoking or promote a smoke free environment at your business or company. Information on supporting colleagues in their efforts to quit smoking, or gaining support for yourself is also available. This Guide to Helping Your Employees Quit Smoking has a lot of helpful information and resources both for employers and employees. Also check out:
Rates of diabetes diagnosis have increased dramatically over the last few years. Making a concerted effort to eat nutritionally balanced meals, getting regular exercise and appropriately managing stress will help you stay healthy. It is also imperative that you have your primary care provider conduct an annual physical exam to monitor your blood glucose levels. These efforts are especially critical if you have a family history of diabetes. Learn more about diabetes from the American Diabetes Association.
Lactation programs facilitate work/life balance for employees with infants. Use of these facilities provides great health benefits to mothers and babies and provide mothers with a way to stay connected with their child even though they are not in their presence during the work day.
The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that breast milk be offered exclusively to infants during their first six months of life. The vast majority of new mothers return to work far sooner. Using a lactation room and pumping breast milk at work allows mothers to continue to offer breast milk to their child.
The following links contain information on establishing worksite programs and tips on managing to breast feed while working:
To give the professional consultation necessary to establish such a program, the International Lactation Consultant Association has a service to help you find a certified lactation consultant. Speaking with representatives from these organizations will help you determine if you want to establish pumping rooms, offer worksite classes, offer discounts on breast pump purchases, or offer other lactation services onsite.
Many research studies are underway to help us learn about worksite health. Would you like to find out more about being part of this exciting research? Please visit the following links:

Today we look back to November 30, 2001…
George Harrison 1943-2001
Beatles guitarist George Harrison passed away yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles after a long battle with cancer. His wife Olivia Harrison and 24-year-old son Dhani were with him when he died at a friend's home, around 4:30 p.m. EST, according to the Associated Press. Harrison wrote and sang such classics as 'Taxman,' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps,' 'Here Comes the Sun' and 'Something.'
Former band-mate Paul McCartney told AP 'I am devastated and very very sad. We knew he'd been ill for a long time. He was a lovely guy and a very brave man and had a wonderful sense of humor. He is really just my baby brother.'
'George has given so much to us in his lifetime and continues to do so even after his passing, with his music, his wit and his wisdom,' Yoko Ono told The Press Association. 'His life was magical and we all felt we had shared a little bit of it by knowing him.'
An informal service will be held today in New York, at Central Park's Strawberry Fields.

"Interesting hitter. Polished. Not sure he can stick at SS. Might be a LF/2B."
- The Dodgers are really high on this guy
- They will acquire more cap space
"Gonzalez has fastball that sits in the low-90s and routinely touches 94-95 MPH. He also has a changeup, curveball, cut-fastball and the rare forkball. Dodger fans remember a great forkball thrown by Hideo Nomo oh so many years ago.
Many believe Gonzalez is near-MLB ready. He might need a month or so in the minors to get back into the rhythm, but he should pitch in the majors this season. He profiles as a middle-of-the-rotation starter with No.2 upside."

Vin Sylvia: Newly retired Chris Carpenter planning to move back to NH
November 23. 2013 9:21PM
MANCHESTER --- Sports lore is full of sad stories about star athletes having a difficult time adjusting to life after the cheering stops and the locker room is no longer their office.
I wouldn't worry about Chris Carpenter.
The Raymond native, Trinity High of Manchester graduate and former Cy Young winner and two-time World Series champion was in an almost jovial mood Saturday as he discussed his plans to move back to New Hampshire on a year-round basis and his hopes of beginning his post-playing career in the Cardinals front office.
Returning to New Hampshire for the Granite State Baseball Dinner, as he has around this time every year since the New Hampshire Fisher Cats began hosting the event with Children's Hospital at Dartmouth a principal beneficiary, Carpenter said he still has to hash out the details with St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak but looks forward to doing something different in the game he loves.
Twenty years ago last summer, Carpenter went straight from Trinity into professional baseball as the Blue Jays' first-round draft choice. Likening his playing career to a college education and entering the front office to going to grad school, yesterday he said, "I'm ready to earn my master's degree.
"Mo and I are going to talk about it come January," Carpenter said. "I want to learn a different part of the game - enter the front office and learn everything about it. I want to find out exactly what a general manager does, learn how to put a team together. It doesn't mean I'll never teach, never put on the uniform again, but right now I'm looking forward to doing something different in baseball."
The desire to spend more than holiday visits with his wife, Alyson, and kids at their home in Bedford has something to do with the preference for a front-office job over an on-field role, too.
Carpenter's son, Sam, turned 11 this month. Daughter Ava is 8. They'll finish out the academic year in the St. Louis area, but then they'll begin making Bedford their year-round residence.
"Alyson's parents are still in New Hampshire, and so are mine. She wants to see more of our families, and so do I," Carpenter said. "We're going to move back in the spring and give it a try."
But they'll also remain close to their other family, the Cardinals.
Signed by St. Louis as a free agent in December 2002, he missed the entire 2003 season while recovering from a torn labrum. But he won 15 games the following year, helping the Cards win the National League Central. A biceps injury kept him out of the postseason, including St. Louis' sweep at the hands of the Red Sox in the 2004 World Series, but one of the great pitching runs in the Cardinals' long and storied history had begun.
In 2005, he went 21-5 in the regular season and 2-0 in the playoffs, and won the National League Cy Young Award. In 2006, he went 15-8 in the regular season and had a postseason record of 3-1 with a 2.78 ERA as St. Louis won the World Series. Injuries limited him to five appearances in the next two seasons combined, but he totaled 33 victories in 2009-10, then helped the Cards win the World Series again in 2011, going 4-0 in the postseason.
Even though he didn't get beyond a couple of minor-league rehab outings in 2012 and didn't pitch at all this year, he was considered a major contributor to the Cardinals' run to the World Series, primarily as a mentor to their young pitchers.
All told, Carpenter went 95-44 with a 3.07 as a Cardinal, 144-94 with a 3.76 ERA overall. In St. Louis, where baseball is followed as passionately as it is in Boston, Carpenter's all-time rank among pitchers in the hearts of Cards fans is second only to that of Hall of Famer Bob Gibson's (apologies to old-timers still carrying a torch for Dizzy Dean).
"The St. Louis community will always be a part of me, and the Cardinals organization always will be a part of me -- of me and my family," Carpenter said.
He said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, his batterymate in Carpenter's early years with the Cardinals, would prefer the former ace remain part of the St. Louis clubhouse in some sort of instructional capacity. The time might someday come for that, Carpenter said, but instead of tutoring on the field, he's ready to be tutored in the front office.
Carpenter is moving on to a new phase of his life, and he looks more than ready.

College basketball season openers:
UCLA vs. Indiana State, 8 p.m. Friday, Pauley Pavilion, Prime Ticket
USC vs. Coppin State, 8 p.m. Friday, Galen Center, Pac-12 Network
Cal State Northridge vs. Pepperdine, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Matadome
Loyola Marymount vs. Pacifica, 7 p.m. Friday, Gersten Pavilion, Friday at 7 p.m.
Long Beach State vs. North Alabama, 3 p.m. Saturday, Pyramid
When the $5 million Edwin W. Pauley Pavilion opened on the UCLA campus for its first basketball game Nov. 27, 1965, the Bruins' freshman team, led by Lew Alcindor, knocked off the varsity squad in an exhibition 75-60. That varsity team just came off back-to-back NCAA titles. Forty-seven years later, the place is about to have another giant awakening. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the former Alcindor) is expected to be among the former UCLA greats who'll christen the refurbished building, now expanded from 12,800 to 13,800 seats at the mere cost of $136 million. The pending arrival (waiting for NCAA approval) of two new star freshmen – Shabazz Muhammad and Kyle Anderson – to go along with transfer Larry Drew II (Taft High) and 6-foot-10 twins Travis and David Wear is enough for AP voters to rank Ben Howland's team at No. 13 in the preseason polls. The reason UCLA starts this year against Indiana State – it's the school where John Wooden coached before he came to L.A. and won 10 national titles. On the first night of college basketball, USC, CSUN, Pepperdine, LMU and Long Beach State are all in action, with the unconventional openers coming on the deck of the USS Midway (San Diego State vs. Syracuse, 5 p.m. Friday, Prime Ticket) and in Kaiserslautern, Germany (the Armed Forces Classic between UConn and Michigan State, 2:30 p.m. Friday, ESPN).
College football: USC vs. Arizona State, noon Saturday, Coliseum, Pac-12 Network:
After giving up 99 points and 1,348 yards in their last two losses, dropping from 9 to 17 to 21 in the AP poll over the past three weeks, the Trojans have a Homecoming game against a Sun Devils team that handed them a 43-22 loss a year ago in Tempe. ASU (5-4) won its first three Pac-12 games but lost the past three, despite averaging 30 points a game over that span. Sun Devils sophomore quarterback Taylor Kelly is third in the Pac-12 with a 156.8 QB rating, one spot down from Matt Barkley (163.3).
Junior defensive tackle Will Sutton, leading the conference with 92 sacks, is back from injury.
College football: UCLA at Washington State, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, ESPN2:
Mike Leach, supposedly a candidate for the not-yet open UCLA job last offseason, jumped on the WSU spot instead before he would wait any longer, and now he finds himself with the Cougars 0-6 in conference after getting hammered at Utah 49-6. It's not like he can criticize his "empty corpse-quality" seniors again, right? The only thing that might slow down these Bruins now is a whole lot of cold snow and sleet in the upper northwest.
Lakers vs. Golden State, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Staples Center, TWC SportsNet
Maybe the Lakers just lack a warrior mentality at this point? These 2-1 Warriors have already been hit by a key injury – reserve guard Brandon Rush is out for the year with a torn ACL. The other key games this week: at Utah (6 p.m. Wednesday, TWC SportsNet) and versus Sacramento (6:30 p.m. Sunday, Staples Center, TWC SportsNet).
Clippers vs. San Antonio, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Staples Center, Prime, ESPN:
The Spurs' sweep of the Clippers in the second round of the playoffs a year ago was a reminder that Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili didn't have the best record in the West by accident. Their 3-0 start isn't a fluke, either. Meanwhile, the Clippers also spend the week with home games against Cleveland (7:30 p.m. today, Prime) and Atlanta (12:30 p.m. Sunday, Prime).
Drag racing: 48 th NHRA Finals, Pomona Fairplex, Thursday and Friday (qualifying, 1 p.m.), Saturday (qualifying, 11 a.m.) and Sunday (eliminations, 11 a.m.):
Antron Brown, with a 65-point lead over Tony Schumacher in the Top Fuel standings going into the final event of the season, can be the first African-American driver to win a major U.S. motorsports championship – and the first to do so after transitioning from motorcycles to top-fuel dragsters. Pretty cool for a guy who ran fast enough in the 100 meters in 1997 to qualify for U.S. Olympic trials. ESPN2 has the Saturday qualifying (7:45 p.m.) and Sunday finals (3 p.m.).
MLS Western Conference semifinals: Leg two – Galaxy at San Jose, 8 p.m. Wednesday
Maybe the last game you'll see David Beckham in a Galaxy uniform? He's got one year left on his contract, but a chance to quit at age 37 and perhaps exercise his option to buy the team may look better.

Airing Monday night on HBO, "Seduced and Abandoned" is a meta-documentary in which actor Alec Baldwin and his filmmaker pal James Toback take a look at the arbitrary deal-making process behind today's movie business.
Toback and Baldwin roamed the Cannes Film Festival last year, documenting the arduous -- and crushing -- prices of getting a film financed and made. The likes of Roman Polanksi, Martin Scorcese, Ryan Gosling and others offer their commentary and reservations about the industry as Tobak, who directs and stars, and Baldwin, who stars, try to pitch a movie they dub "Last Tango in Tikrit," an Iraq War-set romance with much "exploratory sex."
Baldwin, whose movie career has mostly given way to TV, spoke with Show Tracker about the film last week just before taping the next installment of his new MSNBC talk show, which also got some talk time.

MSNBC sucks the life out of you. It's a digital vampire that's killing me, inch by inch every day.
You know how to get quoted, Baldwin! I feel like I'm getting to know the Twitter you.
Mmm, yeah. It's been tough. It's been tough. It's been tough.
Let's look on the bright side: congrats on the baby!
Yeah, that's been great. It's been great. Really. It's the greatest thing in the world. I just wish I was rich—
You're not rich?
I mean really rich. There's rich and then there's effing rich.
I'm nowhere near either of those, so …
Well, but you're rich in other ways. I can hear it in your voice. Look at how happy you sound. Listen to how half-dead I sound. And that's from MSNBC.
Yeah, I don't have a talk show … yet.
Consider yourself lucky, because it's hard. All my complaining, by the way, is sarcasm, readers. I love MSNBC, particularly Phil Griffin, who runs MSNBC. I think the issue has been booking people. It's really hard booking people.
I'm available.
Oh, you want to come do the show? You want to do a show about Pilates?
Let's do it. But first, let's talk about "Seduced and Abandoned." What initially went through your mind when James told you his plan for this?
Well, he and I had talked about making a film. And we talked a lot. We met many, many times. Jimmy is a friend of mine. We talked a lot about a film we'd want to make. And we found out — as we ruminated and did some writing and very serious thinking about a film we wanted to do, the Cannes Film Festival came looming. And I just blurted out this idea to him: Why don't we go and film the pitching of a movie. We don't even have to have a script ready. We don't even really have to have a movie to make. Let's go and pretend we have a movie to make and pitch it at Cannes. We sold the idea to a bunch of investors, these three guys (Alan Helene, Larry Herbert, Neal Schneider), and they gave us the money needed. It was complicated because Cannes is a place — well, I don't want to say it's a place where people let their hair down. It's not about behaving in any way with a mentality of "get that camera away from me." It's the opposite, there's cameras on them all the time. It's a big, big press event. But we went there. When they talk to you, they certainly don't intend to let their guard down. They're there for business and they want to speak very cautiously. To get them to speak more candidly about where the movie business is at, that's tough to do. But we succeeded in getting many of the people we wanted to talk to us. Many obliged us. And many of them spoke rather candidly about the movie business — and some of them, very constructively. Like Scorsese, probably the greatest when he said, "We have to find ways to make movies around these people" — meaning the people who we felt were more kind of the merchant types, who are much more concerned about monetizing the whole thing.
You and James give your own thoughts on the industry's aim for blockbusters and franchises — and the films you do for yourself and the ones one must do for "them." Talk about that.
I think any time you do a film and you haven't written or directed the film or produced it, it's unavoidably one for them. It can't help but be anything other than one for them. There's no way around it. And that's OK. You're not making the film. Warren Beatty once said to me, "Until you take ultimate responsibility for what you're doing and step up to do all those jobs, you are going to be frustrated to some degree. Just sometimes less than others." Unless you decide to do the whole thing yourself, you're going to have that problem.
I would say that most of the film I did — the biggest issue in the film business now is less, I think, about how tough it is to raise money. That's been the case for a long, long time. The biggest issue is the shortage of good directors. The film industry has three main creative pistons — the writing, the directing and the acting. Obviously there are other people who make huge contributions creatively: sets, editing, costumes, cinematography, art design — those people are invaluable. But I'm just saying the immediately identifiable critical elements of a film are the script, the director and the cast. That's really what the money is raised on. The fourth element being the money itself. Of those three creative elements — take away the money for a moment — the one that's the most anemic right now is the directors unit, because there is an abundance of great actors out there. Tons of them. They might not be famous, they might not be the greatest at the box office, but there's a lot of great acting out there. There's a lot of great scripts out there. A lot of great, unproduced scripts.
I think the industry conspires now to minimize … if movies are going to get made, it tends to be who is in the cast. If it's Tom Hanks, somebody who is incredibly talented and lucky — you really have to have both to get to that place in this business where you have great commercial success and great creative success — there's enough great directors to take care of the likes of Tom Hanks.
For everybody else — it's not like people have a script that, say, we're going to get Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise or Javier Bardem or Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp or we're going to go home and we're not going to do the movie. They go out and get Bob Hanks or Larry Bloom, they go get some other actor to do the movie because they want to make the movie — when you get down to that reality, where you're not working with the greatest people, the directing things tend to be thin. There's just not a big pool, a deep bench, of really, really good directors. The only reason I'm harping on this, and then I'll let it go, is you cannot make a good movie without a good director. You just can't. You can't. If you're starting the movie and the director is — everybody is always saying, 'Let's give the guy a try.' And, yes, one out of 100 times or one out of 50 times or one out of 25 times, you'll have lightning in a bottle and that person will go on to have a good career, but then there's the other 24 times. And often those movies aren't terrible movies, they're just very ordinary. That's the problem: Most movies that are made today are OK. They're not terrible, they're not awful, they're just not very good. They're just OK. It's very tough to set out and make a film when you don't have a strong director with a really clear view of what they want to make. And even if they do have a clear view of the movie they want to make, are you going to give them the money to support it?
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
Well, as an actor, how was it on your ego to hear from these financers that they would only pony up so much money with you tied to a project?
What I'm worth and what I'm not worth, I've known that for quite some time and that's an adjustment that you make rather conscientiously, or you're going to have a lot of problems in this business. Because those people that glide through this business with an exaggerated sense of what they're worth and who aren't in touch with what they're really worth, they suffer enormously down the line. I've always been someone that wants to know. So when they say, like in this movie it's a much more sort of direct example, a much more unvarnished example because you're also a producer on the film, where people will say I'm only going to give you so much money to make a movie with him — the difference is, those people said that to my face, which we thought was kind of funny. Whereas, people have been saying that in rooms that I'm not in all the time. What I'm worth and what I'm not worth is evident to me. You learn that very quickly.
How quickly did it come for you?
I think when you make studio films and those films don't make money — you might have a film that's a hit … I did the movie "Hunt for Red October" that did really, really well back in 1990. And what that does is it buys you six or seven years where people want to roll the dice on you again and again. And then by 1997 or 1998, I was rounding the corner toward 40 — what happened for me in my career was very commonplace. And that is: My movies were not making money, they did not perform, I'm turning 40 years old, my audience is not 20-year-old girls or young people who tend to go to movies more, I'm not doing "The Hobbit" or "Harry Potter" or some big serialized movies. Then you go and do independent films, smaller films. In that world, you very quickly find out what you're worth: What's the kind of script — Is it a thriller? We'll give you $3 million. Are you playing Alexander Graham Bell? We'll give you 50 cents. It's all calibrated to the material. Right away by the end of the '90s, I knew. And I walked through that landscape for quite awhile — doing independent films, guest starring on TV shows. And then I realized the kind of effort it took to have a film career and travel all the time and chase opportunities in films — I got tired of that. I wanted to stay home. Doing "30 Rock" was beyond working with Lorne [Michaels] and Tina [Fey's] material; it was principally about lifestyle. By that time, I'm 48 years old and I'm two years away from being 50, and lifestyle is much more in focus for me. I didn't want to have to pack up and fly to Louisiana to shoot a vampire movie or something. That's great — but somebody else can do that. I want to stay home. So I did the TV show. We rolled the dice, it worked. We did well.
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
Now I totally want to see you in a vampire movie. You have it in my head.
You do get into that 'what if.' What if I had done a vampire movie at 40? Where would I be now? Who knows where I'd be. Things might be great.
Work is work. To sit back … there are people who catch a wave, you have to be skillful and you have to ride that wave carefully. My hat's off to those people. George Clooney was a on a TV show. He was the star of a TV show. It wasn't like George Clooney was on a TV show and nobody was watching. "ER" was a huge show. When it was over for him, whatever career decisions he made to change his direction, that takes discipline, you have to be smart. I'm sure that if I closed my eyes and I said, "I want to get back in the movie business and I want to be a success in the movie business on some level"— there are opportunities out there. Age is a limiting factor, but it's not an eliminating factor. And so I sit there and say to myself, if I sat down and mapped it out, there's a way to — potentially I could revive a movie career and have that be my principal work. But that would probably require a lifestyle that I'm not willing to live anymore. My wife and I got married; we had a baby. I would much rather go home with my wife and lay on my couch with my daughter and watch a movie than be in a movie if being in a movie meant I couldn't have the other. I know people have said that a million times, but that's really true.
But I've never heard Alec say that.
If I had you in my life and you were my agent, I'd probably be doing a vampire movie, wouldn't I? It could have been good.
Would you have changed anything? Did you make a wrong turn?
I think the only change, or wrong turn, was when I made movies I should have gone with my instincts when I knew I was doing something for a paycheck. Like, I'd go into a room and I would do a movie and I'd say to myself, if everybody on this movie does their job perfectly — that's a big assumption — the most we can hope for is mediocrity. I would do movies and I was in that wheel in the '90s where I would do movies and they'd give me a lot of money. And I worked with a bunch of people — agents and producers — their attitude towards movies was you fling it against the wall, who knows what people want, who knows what's going to stick? We just keep getting up to bat. I lived that life for six or seven years. It became frustrating. I was too thin-skinned. What I should have done was said, "Oh, I don't want to go do that movie." I should have taken more time off. I had a kind of workaholic nature. As opposed to being more cautious about the stuff I did. I don't want to name names and hurt people's feelings, but there are movies I made where I knew it wouldn't be good. Let's put it this way: The apotheosis of this is Daniel Day-Lewis. He is someone who steps into the limelight to give a performance only for those movies that are really worthy opportunities. He is this inconceivably talented person, the most talent man alive today in the movie business. Along with Anthony Hopkins — those are my two favorites. Day-Lewis doesn't have to work for, like, three years. It's great. I'd probably jump off the roof of a building if I didn't work for three years. He is someone who — he does his thing. And look at the results. He does incredibly beautiful work. In the business, all other actors admire him. That's a tough thing to pull off. We should all want to be like Daniel.

Medical students have full access to two state-of-the-art athletics facilities, the George W. Woodruff Physical Education Center (WoodPEC) and the Student Activity and Academic Center (SAAC). These facilities include:
Medical students are active (and quite competitive!) in intramural leagues such as flag football, soccer, softball, volleyball, and basketball. Each medical school class elects two Intramural Sports Representatives to coordinate teams for their class. Medical school IM teams compete with other graduate and undergraduate teams on campus. The School of Medicine Societies also compete each year in a spirited Field Day Competition to win the prized Doctoberfest Cup.
In additional to IM Sports, there are numerous sports-related medical student groups that gather regularly for kayaking, rafting, hiking, climbing, camping, Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, wiffle ball, tennis, as well as daily games of foosball and ping-pong in the Medical School Student Lounge.
Our close proximity to Stone Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as numerous state parks provides an easy getaway for outdoor activities. Many first and second year students participate in the popular Whitewater Rafting Trip, hosted by the Dean of Students, following M1 Orientation each year.
Just across the street from the School of Medicine is Emory's Lullwater Park, replete with running trails and paved walkways for running, rollerblading, walking, and biking. (Motorized vehicles are not permitted in the park.)

Recently, Webroot has become something of a favourite for anyone who takes protecting their laptop seriously. There are bigger names out there that work just as well, but none really offer the simplicity Webroot has become known for.
That said, there are no amazing secrets to be had in this latest version. It still has the power to clean any infestations on your machine and can securely prevent any future attacks.
What you'll find here is a newly designed interface that is easier to set up and, more importantly, get the most from. The main screen is clear of clutter and gives you precise information about the state of your system, the last time you ran a scan, as well as when you're due to run the next one.
This is a nice touch, as it takes the fuss of having to remember such things out of your hands, and prompts you when the time is right.
When it comes to scanning, or performing a 'sweep', it couldn't be easier. Simply head to the 'Sweep for Spyware' screen and follow the onscreen instructions. To be fair, it's a three-step process that takes most of the choices out of your hands, which is good because it means you can simply click Sweep and leave it to its own devices.
If this sounds like too much work, then you can always set the scheduler to run automatically at regular intervals. We'd suggest running it at night, so as not to interfere with your daily activities.
If there is one complaint about the sweeps, it's their speed, which is slow. That said, they are thorough and we found that trying to purposefully infect our test machine wasn't possible.
There have been accusations that such tools as Spy Sweeper should be free, yet while there are free tools on the web to be had, few offer the complete protection on offer here. Webroot really has taken the strain out of protecting your computer from spyware attacks.

FIA improves pit safety after runaway tire fiasco
July 9, 2013
PARIS (AP) — Formula One's governing body has announced new rules to improve safety in the pits following an accident at the German Grand Prix in which a cameraman was injured by a runaway tire that came loose from a car.
The FIA says only team personnel and marshals will be allowed in the pits during qualifying and races. Accredited media will be confined to the pit wall.
It will also seek the World Motor Sports Council's approval for team personnel to wear head protection plus request a reduction in the pit speed limit from 100 kilometers per hour to 80.
The wheel from Mark Webber's Red Bull injured Paul Allen last Sunday. Allen was hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery.
Red Bull was fined $38,650.

If you are a regular reader, you probably have noticed that I have been gone for a while. I was on vacation with my wife and the ever-dwindling cohort of children who are still at home and still get a spring break, which is to say, my youngest daughter. We left a week ago tonight and just returned home. Our vacation included two days with my brother in Charlotte, three days at a fabulous resort in South Carolina, and two days in Charleston. We had, as always, a wonderful time. I made this short video of a boat excursion we took on the May River, which is really a salt-water Atlantic Ocean inlet. The tree house was a highlight, and the dolphins are near the end:
And–speaking of saddles–my daughter and I went horseback riding; here we have just arrived back at the stable. Which, by the way, is cleaner than most of the apartments I lived in when I was single:
Since it was a vacation, I paid no attention to the news for a solid week. It was blissful. Since returning home, I have been reviewing the thousands of email messages that piled up while I was gone, and I can see already that the world has been going rapidly downhill. By tomorrow I should be ready to resume posting; but in the meantime, if you haven't recently gone for a week without newspapers, internet or television, I highly recommend it.

Stepfamilies — Tips for helping your child adjust to life as part of a stepfamily.
Relationships in stepfamilies can be complicated. When a new stepfamily forms, each family member faces a unique set of challenges and potential sources of stress. Still, it''s possible to build a successful blended family.
Consider the challenges a blended family might pose for your child — and what you can do to overcome these hurdles as you build a new life together.
Your child might be dealing with anguish over a divorce or the death of a parent — or perhaps your child stills harbors hope that you and your ex-spouse will reunite. Similarly, your child might also worry that the new marriage and family situation won''t last.
Listen to your child''s fears and concerns, and allow your child to heal at his or her own pace. Don''t expect your child''s feelings to resolve quickly or at any specific moment — such as at your wedding or on moving day.
Spend time nurturing family relationships that existed before the creation of your stepfamily. For example, plan special activities or outings that involve only you and your child.
Remember, too, that a child entering a newly blended family might feel torn between the parent with whom he or she lives and the other parent. Respect your child''s feelings, and be careful not to make negative comments about the other parent — regardless of your feelings for him or her.
It can be difficult for a child to learn how to navigate relationships with a new stepparent or stepsiblings.
To help your child form these bonds, you might identify shared interests among members of your blended family. Encourage your child to spend time getting to know his or her new family members. Be careful to let the new relationships develop at their own pace, however.
If your child criticizes his or her stepparent, try not to overreact. Take comfort in the fact that if the stepparent is sincere in his or her effort to build a relationship, positive feelings will likely outweigh negative ones eventually.
It can take a couple of years — or even longer — for a new stepfamily to adjust to living together.
Don''t pressure your child or other family members to make new relationships work right away. Instead, encourage all family members to treat each other with decency and respect.
Think of your blended family as a unit. Consider holding regular family meetings to discuss problems and come up with positive solutions as a team.
Most stepfamilies are able to build relationships and work out their problems over time. Others need extra help.
According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, your child might benefit from talking to a mental health provider if he or she feels:
In addition, family therapy might be helpful if:
Remember, making a successful stepfamily takes time. Encourage your family to get to know each other and develop new traditions together. Over time your blended family can build bonds that''ll last a lifetime.

From NBC's Mark Murray
Is this a great country or what?
Politico breaks the news: "Move over Sanjaya and tell William Hung the news: Joe the Plumber is being pursued for a major record deal and could come out with a country album as early as Inauguration Day."
"'Joe' – aka Samuel Wurzelbacher, a Holland, Ohio, pipe-and-toilet man – just signed with a Nashville public relations and management firm to handle interview requests and media appearances, as well create new career opportunities, including a shift out of the plumbing trade into stage and studio performances."
