The unemployment rate is calculated by the Federal Employment Agency based on the number of unemployed persons as a percentage of the number of all civilian members of the labour force (dependant civilian employed persons, the self-employed family workers and unemployed). Unemployed is defined as persons who between the ages of 15 and 65 and who are without employment or only with short-time employment (currently less than 15 hours per week) and seeking an employment of at least 15 hours per week subject to compulsory insurance.
A snag to understanding German unemployment data comes from the fact that there are several measures of unemployment available. Unemployment rates calculated by the Bundesbank are preferred but some German analysts check the unadjusted rates as well. And then there are still different rates for unemployment that are used by Eurostat to compute their unemployment rate. The spread between the Bundesbank rates and Eurostat can be quite significant. The reason for the often sizeable differential is found in the interpretation of the ILO definition.
Unlike in the U.S. no wage data are included in this report. But by tracking the jobs data, investors can sense the degree of tightness in the job market. If labor markets are tight, investors will be alert to possible inflationary pressures that could exist. If wage inflation threatens, it's a good bet that interest rates will rise; bond and stock prices will fall. No doubt that the only investors in a good mood will be the ones who watched the employment report and adjusted their portfolios to anticipate these events. In contrast, when job growth is slow or negative, then interest rates are likely to decline - boosting up bond and stock prices in the process.

Researchers look into possible health benefits in religious fasting
MURRAY, Utah -- People of faith have long believed that fasting can be good for the soul.
Now Utah researchers are launching a study to determine whether a weekly water-only fast can also be good for the body.
Benjamin Horne, director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at the Intermountain Heart Institute, says his working hypothesis is that such fasts can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Such benefits have shown up in three previous studies at the Murray, Utah, institute.
Now Horne and his team are looking for 12 people who have metabolic challenges, such as moderate to high blood sugar, high blood pressure, obesity, high triglycerides and low "good" HDL cholesterol. They will fast six 24-hour periods over five weeks in the pilot study.
In a second phase next year, 200 participants, perhaps some of them working with researchers in other states, will join.
"We don't really know what the model is for a healthy benefit," Horne said Wednesday. "We need to drill down and figure it out."
Most religious traditions -- Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism -- encourage fasting on particular occasions or even over extended periods, such as the sunrise to sundown fasts of Muslims during the month of Ramadan.
Utah provides a particularly good laboratory for such research, because, given the predominance of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, fasting is not an alien notion.
Mormons are encouraged to go without food and water for 24 hours -- or two meals -- once a month on Fast Sunday. LDS Church spokesman Cody Craynor says fasting is seen as a way to grow closer to God and prepare to receive God's blessings.
It is that shared practice of a large portion of the state's residents that got Horne thinking, a decade ago, about fasting's possible health benefits.
The notion that Utah has a low rate of heart-attack deaths because so few residents smoke has been conventional wisdom since research in the 1960s and 1970s. But since then, Californians have stopped smoking in droves, and their state's rate of heart-attack deaths has not budged.
"We started thinking there may be other factors that are unique to the behavior of Utahns," says Horne. "Fasting really stood out."
His team's first research study, published in 2008 in The American Journal of Cardiology, involved surveying patients who came to IHC to learn if they had coronary disease.
Those who said they routinely abstained from food and drink -- 90 percent of whom were LDS -- had lower rates of coronary artery disease.
A similar study published in the same journal in 2012 found that those who engage in periodic fasting are at lower risk for diabetes.
Last year, Horne's team published a third study, this one involving 30 people who did not previously fast. It was published online in December in the Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases journal.
Those participants fasted on water alone for one day. Among the interesting results were that participants' amount of human growth hormone skyrocketed, and their red blood cell counts also rose.
Human growth hormone -- also produced by sleep and exercise -- blocks the body from using glucose as its energy source so it starts burning more fat cells, Horne said. The latter are a major contributor to insulin resistance in diabetics.
For the pilot study, his team is looking for participants who are 30 to 69 years old, not pregnant and not taking medication for diabetes.
"We're looking for people who are willing to try fasting to see if it is something that will benefit their health," he said, "and the health of others like them that are on the verge of having diabetes."

Red pepper "pesto" sauce
Red peppers are my favorite vegetables—they are crunchy, but also can be cooked soft, and have a sweet aroma that you can twist easily with additional spices. I needed lately some pasta sauce, and decided to experiment with red pepper pesto sauce, it turned out amazing and I think you will like that too! :-)
Honey meat ravioli
This delicious meal is amazingly easy to prepare, as long as you have a pasta machine and ravioli tablet — it's a small grid in which you can prepare ravioli "like a sandwich", then roll out the ready ravioli using a rolling pin. Super easy, and with just very little effort you will end up having a luxurious feast!
Red bean and pepper meatballs
This is my favorite meatballs recipe to date. It's spicy, it's rich, it's deliciously thick and serves as a complete meal on it's own. It's one of my never failed meals, because it's impossible to make it taste bad, it can even survive burning (a bit :P), wrong order of cooking, missing ingredients and virtually any cooking disaster you can imagine ;-)
Bonito-dashi ramen with egg
Ramen is a delightful soup served piping hot with wheat noodle and lots of vegetables — a perfect dish that you can prepare quickly for a healthy autumn dinner or a light lunch. You can customise it almost indefinitely with ingredients you like: eggs, meat, vegetables and rice cakes. I will show you how to prepare a simple, but very tasty ramen based on bonito fish stock (bonito dashi) and eggs.
Tomato cream soup
Tomatoes are very healthy thanks to the lycopene, but they also taste amazing when you cook them in a cream soup with a pinch of red pepper and garlic. And herbs, croutons, bread rolls or literally anything you would ever want to put in a cream soup, it's so versatile. And because it's summer time now, you can even let it chill and serve it cold. How cool is that?

Hed Designs H3 FR Rear wheelsets - clincher
Over the years, wheels have taken on more looks than a plastic surgery-addicted movie star. From the giant rear wheels of Francesco Moser to the aperture-ridden discs of Campagnolo's Scirocco, innovative designs either haven't worked or haven't stuck in our minds. This saga of failure came to halt with the advent of the HED H3 FR Clincher Rear Wheel. Not just a beautiful design, the H3 has been at the pinnacle of performance-driven aerodynamic wheels since its creation, and has been racking up podium finishes at the biggest races in the world for just as long. While other companies are just now starting to improve upon the carbon clincher wheel, HED has been fine-tuning perfection for decades. Just as the favorite child gets an extra scoop of ice cream, the H3 FR clincher has enjoyed numerous technological innovations and improvements to further cement its position at the top of the heap. To begin with, the H3 is extremely aerodynamic. The H3 FR Clincher Front Wheel utilizes three main components to achieve its low drag ratios: a 55mm deep rim section, airfoil section spokes, and the smooth connection points where the two join. This design has eliminated drag resistance from every angle of the wheel. The deep rim section is designed to minimize drag at shallow yaw angles, and, past 15 degrees, the shape of the airfoil spokes allow airflow passage to keep the wheel from stalling.The H3's protection from extreme wind angles is not limited to aerodynamic measures. HED pioneered the wide rim design that dominates today's carbon wheels with what it dubbed C2 Technology. C2 Technology's goal is to reduce the occurrence of the two main drag variables: aerodynamic resistance and rolling resistance. In 2006, HED set out to correct the problems associated with fitting tires into narrower rims, problems like higher required pressure, increased rolling resistance, decreased handling, and increased drag. HED found that by making the rim edge wider, a 23mm tire would flow exceptionally well into the rim shape, and thus create a flush aerodynamic profile for optimal airflow. So C2 technology doesn't only address aerodynamics; it also reduces mechanical drag by increasing the contact patch with the road, further improving the distribution of load and lowering rolling resistance.The HED H3 FR Clincher front wheel focuses on rigidity and stability. The carbon layup, resins, and fiber orientations of the H3 are at their most advanced stages to date. When coupled with wider-is-better C2 technology, the result is a startling amount of lateral and torsional rigidity. To ice the cake, HED has also developed a 'secret weapon' it calls Stability Control Technology that effectively tames crosswind at any angle to the wheel. SCT is so secret that HED will not detail the process publicly, but the performance value is instantly recognizable upon usage.Unparalleled quality control, aerodynamic design, and rim shape innovation set the H3 FR Clincher Front Wheel apart from the

Parents in Newtown, Connecticut have joined the chorus of disapproval about the latest episode of "Glee," insisting TV bosses should have warned them about the school shooting plotline.
Locals are still recovering from the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre in December, and many are speaking out about the latest "Glee," which aired on Thursday night and featured students and teachers cowering from a suspected killer.
Newtown residents insist the episode aired too soon after the Sandy Hook tragedy and they should have been told about it before tuning in.
Parent Andrew Paley says, "We're going through a healing phase right now and without giving us any kind of warning, it's going to open up wounds we're trying to close right now.
"I think it's terrible that the writers and producers of that show didn't think to contact someone in Newtown to let us know this was coming. A lot of people watch that show. They shouldn't be upset by it."
Superintendent of schools, Janet Robinson, has revealed she did attempt to notify parents about the harrowing subject matter of the latest "Glee," but even the residents she reached felt creator Ryan Murphy and his team of writers had gone too far with the hard-hitting episode.
Resident Tricia Muzzio states, "This close to the tragedy without any warning, I believe was inconsiderate. It was so realistic that I couldn't believe it."
The theme of the episode became a hot-button issue on Twitter on Thursday night and Friday morning as fans and critics alike took a stand on whether or not it should have aired just months after the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.

Was It a Just War?
Upon the Altar of the Nation: A Moral History ofthe American Civil War
"War is hell," said General William T. Sherman fifteen years after the end of a war in which he perhaps did more than anyone else to confirm that description. "War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it," Sherman wrote on another occasion.
Harry Stout certainly agrees. The Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Religious History at Yale University and a well-known scholar of early American religion, Stout regards the Civil War as the "fulcrum" of American history. The members of the generation that fought the war came of age during the era of the Second Great Awakening in American Protestantism. An understanding of their religious values and ideology, therefore, is necessary to appreciate the way in which that fulcrum worked. Stout does not intend to write a "religious history" of the war that would focus "exclusively on chaplains and ministers," however, but rather a "moral history" that "raises moral issues of right and wrong as seen from the vantage points of both the participants and the historian, who, after painstaking study, applies normative judgments."
For Stout, the starting points for such a judgment of "the rightness or wrongness of war" are theological definitions of "just war" going back to Saint Augustine of Hippo in the fourth century and Saint Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth. Just war theory is divided into two principal categories: rationales for going to war (jus ad bellum) and principles governing the conduct of war once it has begun (jus in bello). The only just reason for going to war is self-defense; therefore "just wars are always defensive wars" and unprovoked aggression "is always wrong."
On the question of jus ad bellum, Northerners in 1861 had no trouble making such a moral judgment: Confederates started the war by firing on Fort Sumter, an unprovoked act of aggression that forced the United States to fight a defensive war to preserve its existence as one nation. Abraham Lincoln put it this way in his second inaugural address: "Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish."1
Southerners, on the other hand, had no doubt that Lincoln's government was the aggressor because it refused to bow to Confederate demands for the peaceful surrender of Fort Sumter to the secessionist Confederate government, thereby provoking the Confederacy to open fire. As Jefferson Davis expressed it: "He who makes the assault is not necessarily he that strikes the first blow or fires the first gun." Lincoln's attempt to resupply the fort's garrison with food, said Davis, made "the reduction of Fort Sumter" a "measure of defense rendered absolutely and immediately necessary."2
Stout's expressed intention to offer "moral judgments" and a "determination of right or wrong" might cause the reader to expect such a judgment on this crucial question of jus ad bellum. But the reader will be disappointed. "In civil wars," Stout writes, "it often becomes difficult to discern with finality who…

Brand name: Rescriptor
Generic name: delavirdine, or DLV
Class: Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (non-nucleoside, NNRTI, or non-nuke)
Manufacturer: ViiV Healthcare, www.viivhealthcare.com, (877) 844-8872
AWP: $381.89/month for 200 mg tablets
Standard Dose: Two 200 mg tablets or four 100 mg tablets three times a day (every 8 hours). Only the 100 mg tablets can be dissolved in liquid; however, avoid grapefruit juice. Take with or without food, but again, avoid grapefruit juice. Take missed dose as soon as possible, unless it is closer to the time of your next dose. Do not double up on your next dose.
Potential side effects and toxicity: Most common side effects are elevated liver enzymes and itchy skin or rash. A serious side effect of the NNRTI class is rash, which can be life threatening. Most rashes occur one to three weeks after starting Rescriptor. If you experience blistering, mouth lesions, conjunctivitis (redness or inflammation of the eye, which if untreated may result in permanent vision loss), swelling, muscle or joint aches, fever, or malaise (general ill feeling), you should stop the medication, and seek medical attention right away. See chart for potential drug class side effects.
Potential drug interactions: Non-nukes interact with many other drugs. See package insert for the most complete list. Tell your provider or pharmacist about all medications, herbs, and supplements you are taking or thinking of taking, prescribed or not. You should not take Rescriptor with Halcion (triazolam), migraine medicines in any form, Orap (pimozide), oral Versed (midazolam), Xanax (alprazolam), or the herb St. John's wort. Do not use Mevacore, Vitorin, or Zocor cholesterol (lipid) lowering meds; suggested alternatives are Lescol (fluvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin), and Pravacol (pravastatin). Liver enzymes should be checked regularly if you are on these cholesterol meds, as they can increase risk for liver toxicity with Rescriptor. Rescriptor needs stomach acid in order to be absorbed correctly. Over-the-counter antacids, like Tums or Maalox, decrease absorption of Rescriptor, so take it one hour apart from these remedies. Other acid-reducing drugs (like Zantac, Tagamet, and Prilosec) may also reduce absorption of Rescriptor -- try not to take them together for long periods of time. People with low stomach acid should take Rescriptor with acidic beverages (orange or cranberry juice, etc.) to increase acidity. Certain amphetamines and antiarrhythmic drugs should not be used with Rescriptor -- therefore, inform your health care provider if you have a history of heart or blood pressure problems. Dose adjustment may be needed when taken with Biaxin (clarithromycin) if you have decreased kidney function. Rescriptor should be used with caution with Procardia or Adalat (nifedipine), Norvasc (amlodipine), Plendil (felodipine), Coumadin (warfarin), and quinidine. Use caution with anti-convulsants: Tegretol (carbamazepine), phenobarbital, and Dilantin (phenytoin). Mycobutin (rifabutin) and Rifadin (rifampin), used to treat tuberculosis, decrease Rescriptor levels. Rescriptor is not recommended with either rifampin or Mycobutin. Rescriptor increases levels of protease inhibitors Crixivan, Lexiva, Invirase, Kaletra, Norvir, and Viracept, as well as immunosuppressants (including transplant drugs), birth control pills (ethinyl estradiol), and methadone, so caution is advised if using together. Cialis, Levitra, and sildanafil (Viagra) levels are increased by Rescriptor; doses should not exceed 10 mg Cialis or 2.5 mg Levitra per 72 hours, or 25 mg Viagra per 48 hours. Also, increased levels of trazodone can occur with Rescriptor and therefore should be used with caution. Increased levels of the inhaled and nasal sprays that contain fluticasone, a steroid for asthma or allergies (found in Advair, Flonase, and Flovent) can occur with Rescriptor which can result in Cushing's syndrome (increased fat in the abdomen, fatty hump between the shoulders, rounded face, red/purple stretch marks on the skin, bone loss, possible high blood pressure, and sometimes diabetes), and therefore should not be used unless no other options are available.
More information: Very rarely used due to its three-times-a-day dosing, it has not been compared to the newer NNRTIs and the studies done with Rescriptor included the older NRTIs (Retrovir, Videx, Hivid, Epivir) with only 45% of patients achieving a viral load of less than 400 copies/mL. Research demonstrates that smaller doses of Rescriptor increase blood levels of some protease inhibitors, making it unique among the NNRTIs. Some people who cannot tolerate Norvir (ritonavir) are successfully using Rescriptor instead to boost their protease inhibitor. Studies of this use, however, have not been published. A new booster medication for HIV drugs is on the way; see cobicistat. See package insert for more complete information on potential side effects and interactions.
Doctor's Comments
It's the rare patient who takes Rescriptor anymore, not that it was ever a widely used drug. It may be less potent than other NNRTIs, was never extensively studied, and has to be taken three times a day. It was sometimes used in patients with unusual NNRTI mutations that caused resistance to Viramune and Sustiva but not to Rescriptor, but most of those patients are now taking Intelence. As with any NNRTI, Rescriptor can cause rash. It has drug interactions that are different from those of other NNRTIs: It increases levels of protease inhibitors rather than decreasing them. It was once suggested as an alternative PI booster for that reason, but no one was excited about taking a booster three times a day.
-- Joel Gallant, M.D., M.P.H.
Activist's Comments
I've never met a single person on this drug, and I don't have much to say about it. Relegated to the dark dusty corners of the HIV regimen history books, I guess. Next!

CENTENNIAL, Colo — Accused Colorado theater gunman James Holmes was taken to the hospital on Tuesday for a medical condition that left him unable to attend a court hearing set for two days later, his lawyers said, with local media reporting he had tried to harm himself.
The lawyers, explaining in vague terms in an emergency hearing on Wednesday the sudden developments that sent him to the hospital, requested a delay in a routine pre-trial hearing due on Thursday. There was no word on Holmes' current condition.
"What occurred was midday yesterday. We were informed of a situation that involved a trip to a hospital," Holmes' attorney Tamara Brady said in court, giving scant further details but adding, "It's not as simple as a migraine."
Holmes, a 24-year-old former neuroscience graduate student, is accused of opening fire inside a suburban Denver movie theater during a midnight screening of the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" in July, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others.
The rampage was one of the bloodiest acts of gun violence in the United States in recent years.
Law enforcement sources told local television station CBS4 that Holmes made multiple "half-hearted" suicide attempts over the past few days, including one in which he ran into a wall in his jail cell and another in which he jumped off his bed.
Another local television station, ABC7, reported that Holmes was hospitalized after intentionally pounding his head on the walls and floor of his cell.
The station quoted sources familiar with the case as saying his actions were an indication of Holmes' mental state, but did not constitute suicide attempts.
A judge approved the emergency defense request for a delay in the case, and set a new hearing for Dec. 10. Holmes' lawyers, in filing their request, did not provide details of Holmes condition, citing legal, medical and psychological privilege.
"As a result of developments over the past 24 hours, Mr. Holmes is in a condition that renders him unable to be present in court for tomorrow's hearing," Holmes' lawyers wrote in the delay motion.
Another of Holmes' attorneys, public defender Daniel King, did not respond to reporters who asked if Holmes was still in the hospital.
Prosecutors had earlier objected to a delay, saying it should be denied unless more detailed information was provided on Holmes' condition than was contained in the defense request.
"It is not clear whether it is claimed he is suffering from a physical medical condition, a mental condition, whether he is suffering from a negative emotional reaction to his circumstances, or anything other than he has some kind of 'condition,'" prosecutors wrote in their response.
Prosecutors have depicted Holmes as a young man whose once promising academic career was in tatters at the time of the shooting. He failed oral board exams for graduate school in June and a professor suggested he may not have been a good fit for his competitive doctorate program.
Holmes then began a voluntary withdrawal from the school and amassed an arsenal of weapons as part of "a detailed and complex" plan to commit mass murder, prosecutors charge.
Holmes has yet to enter a plea in the case, and prosecutors have not indicated whether they will seek the death penalty.
Holmes' lawyers, who analysts have suggested may be laying the groundwork for an insanity defense, have said Holmes suffers from mental illness and sought to get help before the shooting.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, asked about Holmes' condition, told Reuters he could not release any information, citing privacy issues and jail security.

As young entrepreneurs, we're so focused on growing our companies, delivering value to our customers, all while driving profitability. We're dealing with so many things simultaneously, that it's easy to lose focus on our core values when something enticing comes our way, like saving money. When I was 26, my singular focus caused a serious lapse in judgment, costing me a year of heartache, thousands of dollars, and a pending litigation.
What A Lapse in Judgment Looks Like
Over a year ago, my accountant (let's call him "Tom") came to my office with one of his staff members (let's call him "Mike") for a quarterly review of my books. As soon as the accountant left, Mike complained that Tom was underpaying him. He insisted that Tom did not care about my business, and that he charged every client a different monthly retainer, depending on what the client could afford. Mike convinced me that if I fired my bookkeeping service and hired him, he'd do a better and cheaper job; He was a QuickBooks Certified Pro Advisor and would actually "care" about my books. He also tried to get me to hire a new accountant - and of course, he knew just the right one.
My first mistake was hiring Mike to take over the bookkeeping and not letting Tom know that his employee was back-stabbing him. I've since learned that Mike went to other clients with Tom, and behind his back, did the same thing that he did with me.
As soon as I hired Mike, he told me that he didn't have time to do the actual bookkeeping himself, as initially proposed. He was focusing on getting more clients and building his own bookkeeping business, so he'd hire an employee to handle my books. I was now hiring his firm, not Mike himself.
My second mistake was agreeing to his new terms even though I wasn't happy with them. At the time, I felt that my hands were tied. I had already fired my bookkeeping service and I didn't want to be left stranded without a bookkeeper. So I settled.
Mike interviewed about 25 people until he found someone willing to accept his low compensation. I was paying Mike $27/hour and he was paying this employee $12/hour. No surprise that the bookkeeper he hired had no idea how to bookkeep, and my books became a royal mess. Month after month, payroll items were incorrectly recorded; critical job costing was simply omitted; monthly reports were literally never prepared; and, as you might have guessed, he would make surreptitious adjusting entries to balance the books.
Excuses Do Buy Time
I called Mike. I emailed him. I asked for a status update and ETA on the work he promised to do. He kept telling me "give me time", or "it takes time for my employee to learn your books" or "don't worry, it will get done in time". Eventually I stopped paying Mike.
My third (and biggest) mistake was not firing Mike (and his employee) immediately after discovering these issues. I was so busy trying to grow my business, that I put the bookkeeping issues on the back burner, hoping it'd get better. Bookkeeping was definitely not my forte.
The Last Straw
When Mike's employee walked into my office one day to tell me that he's leaving for a 2-week vacation "as of tomorrow", I fired him…them...immediately. One-day notice with no backup plan? It couldn't get any worse. I told Mike that I'd be happy to pay him the remaining balance if he completed the work he was supposed to do. Obviously that never happened, and we ended our relationship with me owing him money, and he owing me clean, up-to-date books.
My fourth mistake was not having a signed contract that included all the daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly deliverables - with payment being contingent on getting those deliverables done correctly and on time. We had no contract at all!
I should have run for the hills a year ago, when he told me about several other clients he was suing, all of whom supposedly didn't pay him for his work. As they say, past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior. With a little research, I might have uncovered Mike's litigious nature, as well as his poor track record with producing results.
This painful experience is not over yet, and I've already learned so many valuable lessons:
1. Integrity always comes first.
2. Never ignore red flags.
3. Always sign a contract. (Here's a sample contract)
4. Cut your losses immediately.
5. Always check references.
6. Every relationship matters. Hold the same standards with everyone you deal with, large or small.
7. Finally, NEVER let your books out of your control. If hiring an accounting/bookkeeping specialist, give them an exam to test their knowledge and skill. (Here's a sample exam)
Have you gone through, or are going through an experience similar to mine? I'd love to hear how you went about it and what you've learned from it!

BISMARCK, N.D. — The state Health Department says a well blowout spewed more than 23,000 gallons of oil and 4,600 gallons of briny wastewater in Dunn County.
Environmental scientist Bill Suess says the blowout occurred Saturday morning at a well owned by XTO Energy Inc., about 18 miles southeast of Watford City. Suess says the company reported the spill to health officials on Sunday.
Suess says no one was injured and a state inspector is on site. He says no waterways or drinking water was affected.
Officials say most of the oil and brine had been recovered by Monday.
Suess says the impacted area appears to be about 15 acres, or an area the size of 15 football fields. He says the state is working with the company on a remediation plan.

The Microsoft chalks out its plans to bring on the scene six devices in a year. Not more than many days ago the Microsoft flagship phones may be see the light of the day in October 2015. The two windows 10 phone the Lumia 950 the assigned code name The Talkman and the other the Lumia 950XL whom the code name Cityman has been rendered. The Windows Central emanated the details in length with regard to the two handsets, the fact that they will be kicked off as the fact sounds strong in September at the IFA 2015 in between 4 to 9 September. The hope we can pin on is it will hit the market for sales in October 2015 or in November 2015.
The Window Central claims the conformation reclining on the sources that poured in through multiple ways. The previous rumor reached the ears is not strong enough regarding its manufacturing, means now it will not be made of metal. They will be wrapped in White and Black bodies along with polycarbonate material. Both of them named the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950XL will be more thinned as the expectation emerges it will be almost 7-8mm and sexy too. The said discussion bought us through the people who have caught sight and brought everything under their examination. Furthermore the two companions the Talkman and the Cityman means the Lumina 950 and the Lumia 950XL will carry iris scanners, though we are not getting the inkling about it, the Microsoft is on its way using this technology being the part of the Windows Hello. The new arrival in feature also included in the Windows 10, which permits the users unlocking the device even in less than one second.
Now we go taking on board the conformation about the Talkman Lumia 950 and its specifications below.
3000 mAh removable battery
Now the specifications list of the Cityman the Lumia 950XL.
Qi wireless charging integrated
The certainty is there, if we go for the price as the Lumia 950XL (Cityman) will carry more cost than that the regular Lumia 950 (Talkman) along with the Surface pen optional, resembling the Surface Pro 3 Tablet that is having the availability. The report is surfacing that is the smart cover having a large circular area that enables consumers to have a look at the notifications and the calls. We have not got the wind of the prices for the accessories.

A Post from YWAM Charlotte DTS
Unplanned, uncoordinated times of prolonged worship are like un-caging a lion: you're not sure if it's going to run free, or if it's going to eat you alive.
Which is why we do our best as leaders to plan.
And that's not a bad thing. We prepare because people are fickle, emotions are lethal, and often times those that think they are sensitive to the Holy Spirit aren't. The last thing we want to do is abuse anyone's time, including God's with us.
But the risk can be worth it.
When a soaking session is done right, well, you never forget it. Because you get transformed.
Last night, it was clear from the beginning we were in for something awesome. The host church ended up double booking our first room. So we moved.
Ten minutes in to our second location, we were informed it was also double booked. So we moved again.
But it was a great object lesson on Watchman Nee's predication that Christians are not changed by their environments; Christians change their environments. (Latent Power of the Soul).
From hymns to spiritual songs to lead prayer to words of knowledge, it was a remarkably rich time in the presence of our Father.
Toward the end I felt lead to sing Song of Songs 2:10-14 over the students, as it's evident the Lord has been wooing them nearer and nearer. As soon as I was done, the Holy Spirit gave me a very simple song for them:
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
I want to be where you are
I will go anywhere you ask me
I will go anywhere you ask me
I will go anywhere you ask me
If you're by my side
Teary eyed and full, we emerged from the old choir room they stuck us in, knowing we had been with God. ch:

TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas has a confession to make: The girl group singer's two-year relationship with Usher was not, in fact, the inspiration for his 2004 hit album Confessions.
"We were together when he recorded that album," Thomas clarified in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. "All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri's situation. Usher was just singing it. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out."
"So people assumed that album was about us, but it was not," she continued. "And Usher and I weren't oil and water. We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever," she added wistfully: "he was that real love for me."
Thomas, who, together with Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, formed 90s mega girl group TLC, even admitted that she will "always love" Usher, despite the fact that the pair called it quits on their relationship in 2003.
"In any relationship, even when it came to my relationship with Usher, when it was time to make a move, I had to do that," she said. "I don't care how much my heart was hurting, sometimes you're just supposed to be with people for a reason and it's not always a lifetime. Even if you want it to be, it just doesn't work out that way."
"But I'll always love him, forever, because he was my first adult love, a real love," she added. "But we're cool, we're really cool. There's no hard feelings, nothing like that. It's all good."
After the pair split, Usher went on to date and eventually marry stylist Tameka Foster in August 2007. The "OMG" crooner filed for divorce in 2009; the couple have two sons together — Usher V, 5, and Naviyd, 4.
In recent years, the former couple has duked it out in an ugly court custody battle, but it's not something that Thomas can sympathize with.
"I didn't have anything to do with it and I was very far away from it," she told Us. "I wasn't a part of any of that kind of stuff. Our relationship was never like that. That's his story."
Both Thomas and Watkins are producers on VH1's upcoming biopic, Crazy, Sexy Cool: The TLC Story, which will air on Sunday, Oct. 20, and stars rapper Lil Mama, Akeela & the Bee star KeKe Palmer, and The Game actress Drew Sidora.

Irving Farm Texas Takeover: A Dan Streetman Barista Getaway
Texan demitasse at Houndstooth Coffee, Austin, TX. Photo courtesy Houndstooth Coffee.
It struck me, about 2 days before I left to head home to Texas for a week to serve as a groomsman in my younger brother's wedding. "What am I going to do for a week in Waco?" The bustling metropolis of Waco has about 200,000 people, or you know, the same number of people who pass through Grand Central Terminal every day, and while I love my parents, the idea of sitting around watching HGTV reruns with them for the entire week was not quite exciting. So it occurred to me, at this last minute: there's so much good coffee in Texas now. "what if I work a couple of barista shifts?" I figured two might be enough to keep life interesting, and leave some time to relax. So I contacted a couple of friends and quickly arranged a guest shift on Tuesday in Austin at Houndstooth Coffee, and the other on Wednesday in San Antonio at Local Coffee. After making the arrangements, I posted my plans to my personal social media pals, hoping that some old friends would come by and see me. Besides, that is what you do in this day and age right? Put everything on social media… But quickly, almost too quickly, David Buehrer from Houston texted me: "Really? Really? You're not going to come to Houston?" So I agreed to do Houston on Thursday, thinking "Ok—now my schedule is really full, but it won't be too bad." After a nice weekend with my brother, and some bachelor party shenanigans, we'd return to Waco. Monday I spent most of the day cleaning out some old things I had left in my parents garage, but at the end of the day, my brother and I wanted to go check out the newly minted Dichotomy Coffee that had recently opened downtown. As we grabbed coffee, I recognized the barista, who also apparently knew my brother. However it was clear that he didn't remember me, so I jokingly reminded him that we had met at Barista Camp in Austin this spring, and foolishly told him about my plans for the rest of the week. He instantly replied, "oh man, you have to email Brett, and work here on Friday." What can one more shift hurt? Besides it would be in my hometown.
Day 1: Houndstooth, Austin, TX. "Old friends, new haunts" would be a theme for my jaunt through Texas. I had gotten up by 8am to make it the 2 hour drive to Austin by 10am, for my shift at the newest downtown location of Houndstooth Coffee. Seeing brothers Sean and Paul Henry grow their business is always rewarding for me, as I remember helping them open the first location—I even worked there the first week. Back in 2010, Houndstooth was the first multi-roaster café in Texas, and pretty early in that whole movement. Upon entering I was met immediately by barista trainer Daniel Read, and we quickly started discussing the Austin scene. Having lived in Austin from 2007-2010 I know a lot of the coffee professionals there, and watched a lot of growth. But since I moved away, it seems the scene has really exploded, and it was fun to hear updates on all the new happenings. It was also especially interesting to see how some of the developments in Austin were mirroring what is currently happening in New York, where small independent shops are moving into the higher rent, more populous neighborhoods. This new Houndstooth located inside the iconic Austin Frost Tower building is a prime example. The space has a great feel with windows on 3 sides, and tons of light streaming in. Working behind the bar at Houndstooth was a blast—the staff there are so congenial that it makes customer interaction always feel truly positive. There was a steady flow into the afternoon, which kept the pace fun, and lively. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many of the customers were ordering single espressos, and cappuccinos. This was definitely not the Texas coffee scene I worked in as a barista. The staff were digging the Santa Isabel Guatemala and the Amaro Gayo Ethiopia I brought with me. After my shift, I would head to dinner with Sean from Houndstooth for dinner, where we eventually met up with Lorenzo Perkins of Cuvee Coffee. Hanging out with these guys was a blast from the past, and we wiled the night away postulating about the future of the coffee industry.

Day 2: Local Coffee San Antonio Wednesday brought another early morning and another 2 hour commute to a 10am shift. Of course, who can complain when your motel is conveniently located directly under the highway, and they serve you breakfast that comes in 36-packs from Costco? Arriving in San Antonio, I was greeted with a big smile and a curly mustache from my long time friend Andrew Schulz, the manager of Local Coffee's Pearl location. Andrew and I go back to my days as a café manager, when I hired him for his first barista job—old friends, new haunts, remember? The bar at the Pearl location was extremely spacious, and I quickly hopped to working, rolling out El Molino single origin espresso drinks, along with making Chemexes of El Molino and Guadalupe and waxing poetic about the effects of natural and washed processing on their flavor to anyone who would listen. You see, these two farms, located directly next to each other, and both containing almost solely bourbon variety coffee trees, are among the greatest examples I've encountered of tasting how one variable affects the flavor of the coffee. A parade of staff from Local's other locations came through along with several famous area chefs, and a multitude of loyal customers. The Pearl district is probably the most happening place in San Antonio, and Local is definitely the coffee shop leading the way for the city. After lunch, Local's owner Robby Grubbs came in and we caught up, reminiscing about the early days when he opened his first location in Sonterra, and discussed some of his future plans. It seemed that growth in coffee cafes/culture was not isolated to Austin.
Day 3: Blacksmith, Houston I got a late start on this fine Thursday morning: hanging with old friends and the San Antonio Spurs going up 2-0 in the Conference Finals are a great recipe for a late night. This meant my 3-hour commute to Houston would have me arrive just about lunch-time. Sure enough I made it to Blacksmith at noon sharp, and I was greeted by a sharply dressed David Buehrer with "can I feed you lunch before your shift?" I politely accepted, and moments later Vietnamese Steak & Eggs appeared in front of me. A dish that is the essence of Blacksmith, simple and interesting food, paired with great coffee. The barista on shift had dialed in our Blackstrap Espresso, along with the Guadalupe they were brewing for their drip option of the day. David had been insistent I must come to Houston, and I must say the trip was well worth it. It was also especially fun to work at Blacksmith after hearing the plans for years. After lunch, I took my turn behind the counter, and enjoyed the flow of the café throughout the afternoon, while discussing work-flow and training techniques with Blacksmith trainer John, David made plans for us to all go to dinner with his partner Ecky, and boy was I in for a treat. Across the street from Blacksmith is a recently James-Beard-awarded restaurant Underbelly. After being seated, we were greeted by Chef Chris Shepherd, a quick exchange and all of a sudden we'd surrendered our will to the whims of the kitchen. Dinner proceeded with exceptional results, to the effect that by 10pm, I was insisting I must get on the road, to begin my 3-hour journey back to Waco, and return the rental car by 8am the next morning.

Day 4: Dichotomy Coffee, Waco Texas The 7:30 alarm came as if it were the conclusion of the previous night's drive. I deliriously crawled out of bed to return the rental car. Returned to my folks' for a 1-hour nap and then off to pick up my tuxedo for the wedding on my way to Dichotomy! Arriving at Dichotomy, I was sharing space with their other roasters, Counter Culture, and Tweed. So I asked the staff if they wanted to have some fun, and we decided to roll with Amaro Gayo, Ethiopia on Espresso to contrast the Tweed Guatemala, and to do our Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, along with Counter Culture's Kilenso Mokonisa, Ethiopia on pour-over. Brett, the owner of Dichotomy scheduled me on a split shift which was great, as I got to interact with more of Dichotomy's staff, a young and enthusiastic crew, who are extremely into coffee. I enjoyed rocking their Modbar, but it was the customer conversations that really went the distance. Many of the customers seemed accustomed to waiting the 3-5 minutes for their pour-over or loose leaf tea, and were eager to talk with the very friendly staff. Dichotomy's space is large, and spacious with high ceilings, a renovated downtown building that represents a growing interest in the city to revitalize the city's core after it was gutted by both suburbanization and a tornado in the 1950's. How fitting then, to end my journey at the end of the new growth branch, for the Texas Coffee Scene, and also for Waco's Downtown. After it all, I felt as if I had maybe bitten off a little more than a could chew, but I didn't regret the decisions one minute. The week long journey represented so much more, in sharing where I have been and what I am doing with so many people close to me through-out Texas, along with reciprocating that with them.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Michael Snaer scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half as Florida State held off North Florida 75-67 on Wednesday night.
Okaro White added 15 points and nine rebounds and Terrance Shannon had 12 points for the Seminoles, who won their fourth straight game after a season-opening loss to South Alabama.
Parker Smith scored 20 points and Beau Beech added 12 points for North Florida (1-4).
Florida State jumped out to a 16-3 lead at the 14:23 mark of the first half and was ahead by at least six points until the final minute of the game. North Florida cut the lead to five, 70-65, on a pair of free throws by Smith with 40 seconds left.
But the Seminoles made 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch to win. They finished 23 of 28 (82.1 percent) from the line, with Snaer making 9 of 10.

It's sad news that the economic plague is beginning to take its toll on the area, most recently eliminating Goody's Family Clothing.
Despite all the gloom and doom, the City of Galax continues to stay focused on finding other sources of revenue for itself and seeking "creative" forms of employment for others.
And it is encouraging that economic projects, such as the construction of Chestnut Creek School of the Arts, clearly has the support of the community, as well as artisans from as far as Raleigh, N.C.

Wrenchin' @ Random
Valets are the enemy. They drive with the parking brake on, they smash oil pans on speed bumps, and they charge you $12 to do it. So when I picked up my Challenger after valet parking at a swanky Beverly Hills restaurant, I was tempted to blame the horrible grinding sound it was making on the parking attendant. Lucky for him, it was a sound I recognized, the sound of a dry power-steering system. The steering box had blown out the sector-shaft seal. Again. One time could be a fluke. Three times? A problem.
Seals tend to fail because of dirt, heat, defects, excessive pressure, or improper installation. Installation issues tend to show themselves pretty quickly, so we crossed that one off the list. Pressure usually looks for the weakest escape route, and you'll often see fluid escaping from the power-steering pump in cases of over-pressurized systems. The pump was dry, so we decided to tackle the temperature issue. We had a junkyard cooler taken from a Dodge minivan that had a rack-and-pinion setup instead of a conventional box, and it fit neatly in front of the radiator. Problem solved, right?
Well, the seal problem might be solved—at least it's not leaking yet—but the steering feel is funky now. It turns when you tell it to, but there's this slight resistance. It's unnerving. We suspect the cause is a restricted return line due to the long hose length combined with the small cooler and fittings with reduced inside diameter. We plan to swap it out for a bigger cooler with much shorter lines. In the meantime, I'm parking my own car.

Today I received Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Official 50th Anniversary Companion by Sarah Gristwood, a book I pre-ordered ages ago and had almost forgotten about. It was a pleasant surprise to get it today, after so many months.
I read it all in one sitting tonight and overall it's a lovely book and a nice behind-the-scenes look at the film. It doesn't cover anything I didn't already know after reading Sam Wasson's fantastic Fifth Avenue, 5.a.m., but it's full of beautiful photographs and is a pretty coffee table book.
Gristwood's book contains chapters focusing on, among other things, the script based ever so loosely on Truman Capote's novella, Audrey Hepburn and the other actors cast, the fashion influence of the film, Mancini's song "Moon River," and the movie's critical reception and lasting allure.
My only issue with the book is my lack of faith in some of the photo captions. For instance the author (or whoever is in charge of captioning photographs) twice labels Audrey Hepburn's guitar instructor, who taught her to play "Moon River," as Henry Mancini. That's just a pitiful lack of double-checking, in my opinion, and annoyed me on behalf of the late Mancini, who was the bee's knees and deserved to have a real picture of himself in the book.
Here's Audrey Hepburn with someone who is not Henry Mancini. This photo and another of the same guitar teacher posing with George Peppard are mislabeled.
Here's the real Mancini, around the time of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Mancini was brilliant. Just think of all the fantastic TV and movie scores he wrote — Peter Gunn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, Charade, Two for the Road, The Pink Panther, The Thorn Birds and many more. Just want to give a shout-out to Hank!
There are a few other little details in the captions that don't seem quite right to me, but that's par for the course in publishing these days, I find. Errors galore!
Still, even with those minor quibbles the book was an enjoyable read and a pretty coffee table book I'm sure I'll flip through many times. If you are like me and feel the need to own every book about Audrey Hepburn that comes down the pike, you'll probably want to buy this one, too. Or at least add it to your holiday wish list.

Mads Nipper joined the LEGO Group in 1991 as a media consultant and has since then taken up a number of increasingly senior positions in the areas of marketing and innovation. Since 2011 he has been the company's CMO and member of the Management Board.
CEO Jørgen Vig Knudstorp says:
"Mads has been instrumental in the transition of our company over the past ten years. His vast experience and informal approach combined with his true passion for the LEGO brand are all factors that have contributed greatly to our success in recent years. While I am very sorry to see Mads go, I am equally confident that the strong capabilities and robust organisation that Mads has built within the Marketing area will secure a smooth transition over the coming months."

Dialogue resolves miscommunication
It turns out it was an unfortunate miscommunication rather than an attempt to hide government business from the public that led to County Commissioner Dan Holub's proposal last week not to publish the full text of public notices.
Unaware that the county had ceased publishing notices in the Hillsboro Star-Journal and Peabody Gazette-Bulletin long before a below-cost discount had expired because it wasn't being used, Holub apparently was less concerned about saving money at the expense of informing the public than he was about figuring out how to keep information flowing at a reasonable price.
Thanks to his admirable willingness to discuss his laudable, true objective even after we had wrongly accused him of trying to score cheap political points, the county once again has the ability to publish its notices at heavily discounted rates simultaneously in all three authorized newspapers in the county. The county commission is likely to make a decision on our proposal on Monday.
We and he both jumped the gun because we didn't have full information, and we're sorry to have impugned his integrity in the process. The important lesson is, the more people know, the better their decisions are — another good reason why everyone in the county needs easier access than the Internet would provide to the full text (not just lawyer-written summaries) of what the county commission is doing.

With P still MIA, last weekend was quite different than my usual. My family and I took a trip to Palm Beach in Laiya, Batangas for the wedding of my cousin. I've never been to a beach wedding before and can I just say, it's one of the loveliest things to witness. The grit of the sand and shore was a beautiful backdrop to all the prettiness happening in the forefront. Also, how cute was it that their wedding march was Amber? Congratulations, Ate Kai and Art!
Check out my little friend for the day!

SALEM, MA-Host Salem State swept all three doubles matches and went on to defeat the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's tennis team, 9-0, in their Little East Conference match at the Salem State Tennis Courts Tuesday afternoon.
The Vikings' Michelle McEwen and Lauren Turenne defeated senior Courtney Morey (Mashpee, MA/Mashpee HS) and sophomore Angela Pollard at number one doubles, 8-4; Carly Muniz and Melissa Govertsen downed UMD freshman Hannah Schulze (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) and junior Liz Girczyc (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) at number two doubles, 8-1, and Patty Quartararo and Anna Yaskell edged sophomores Alex Post (Plymouth, MA/Plymouth North HS) and Casey Auman (Springfield, MA/Cathedral HS) of the Corsairs at number three doubles, 9-7.
"Salem State was the better team today, although when you can't go with your full lineup, it changes things," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Ralph Perry. "Salem is one of the teams to beat in the conference, and we have to play a little better against Bridgewater tomorrow if we want to turn this around. We had a close match at third doubles, and our people played their best, but Salem State was just better today."
The Corsairs dropped to 7-3 and 4-2 in the Little East Conference with the defeat, while the Vikings improved to 9-1 and 6-0 in the LEC with the victory. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Bridgewater State Wednesday.

Evelyn Duenos of Ecuador is now (at least) the second person this year — along with Alina Percea — to head to Western Europe to work a low-skill job and "decide" that auctioning off her virginity was a better option.
Like Percea before her, Duenos traveled to Western Europe from a country with fewer economic opportunities and in which she is an ethnic minority (Percea is reportedly Roma) to take a low-skill job, only to publicly and famously decide to auction off her virginity in order to give the money to her parents and return to her country. Percea claimed, like many a sex worker before her, that the money was to fund her college education — though it turns out she'd never completed high school — and changed her story that he younger siblings needed it; the 28-year-old Duenos claims her mother has Alzheimer's and she needs the money for her mother's and for her own education. (Suspicious me checked and Grey's Anatomy, where young Meredith's mother's early-onset Alzheimer's is a prominent storyline, just finished its second season in Spain.) Both women proffered medical certificates to "prove" their virginities, though most reputable doctors (and my own personal experience) agree that no examination can definitively prove or disprove the loss of one's virginity.
Basically, what's going on is that these women — like others before them — are traveling to Western Europe (either of their own volition or not entirely) to engage in sex work that is illegal in their own countries. They, or the families sending them there to procure money through sex work, are taking advantage of a legal and social climate where sex work is legal and more acceptable and of the publicity surrounding the stupid virginity-auction trend. They're telling stories that sex workers all around the world use to minimize the stigma or guilt that they and/or their johns feel by claiming their sex work is a selfless or self-improving act encouraged by their families. And it's no mistake that they're women of color in majority white countries — international sex trafficking is often based around stereotypes of race and the sexuality conferred on people because of their race — or that they plan to return home after they engage in sex work and give the money to others once they get there. In the wake of the economic downturn, apparently, the sex tourism industry, which is often decried by women's rights activists as exploitative, is coming to the former tourists, clad in Western clothes and "sanctioned" by these women's families as a way to head off accusations of trafficking. But just because it's someone's mother pimping her out, doesn't make it not trafficking. And it's getting more than a little worrisome.

On a trip to the tribs last week in search of steel I decided to get kick samples to see what the migratory fish could be feeding on. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least as both samples were filled with life! Below are the results of the two kick samples I took, in one tiny section of the stream. While you are out this early season, and any time for that matter, get a sample and see what is tumbling around in your stream, take some photos, and go home and tie. Try to take the samples from a gravel section with flowing water. My next post I will show you how to make a cheap homemade seine.

Glenn Greenwald, author of Cato's much-discussed paper on the success of drug decriminalization in Portugal, writes about cults of presidential personality. He notes that Jay Nordlinger of National Review and other conservatives – not to mention a few libertarians – have criticized the Obama administration's plan to broadcast a presidential speech into American schools and push teachers to post Obama quotes in their classrooms and encourage students to talk about how President Obama inspires them.
Greenwald never actually defends the Obama plan. But he does argue that conservatives have short memories when they say that this is something unique. In particular, he reminds us of the notorious Monica Goodling's questions to job candidates at the George W. Bush Department of Justice, such as "[W]hat is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?" And also of White House political aide Sara Taylor, who told the Senate Judiciary Committee, "I took an oath to the president, and I take that oath very seriously." Committee chairman Patrick Leahy had to ask her, "Did you mean, perhaps, you took an oath to the Constitution?"
Greenwald has a good point. Both the red and blue teams have been far too quick to succumb to a cult of presidential personality. (And really, swooning over Reagan or Obama is sort of understandable. But George W. Bush? You have to wonder if they worked really hard at creating a Bush cult because there wasn't really much there.)
But I do see one difference: The Obama administration is trying to push its president-worship onto 50 million captive schoolchildren (not to mention using the NEA to enlist the nation's artists in promoting Obama and his agenda). Goodling was asking people looking for government jobs why they wanted to "serve George W. Bush." Now, sure, they should want to serve the public interest – and she was asking these questions to people seeking career legal positions as well as to political appointees. Still, it seems a smaller bit of cultishness than going into every public school.
Gene Healy wrote about cultishness by both Bush and Obama supporters here.

Jennifer Aniston's fiancé Justin Theroux appears to have dismissed reports suggesting the couple is set to wed in Mexico on Saturday, by joking about the date on a late night TV show.
Speculation about the couple's big day went into overdrive this week when sources told America's tabloids that Aniston and Theroux were planning to jet off to Mexico to exchange their vows this weekend.
But Theroux joked about the story during an appearance on pal Jimmy Kimmel's show on Thursday.
When the host quizzed him about the cover story on the new issue of Star magazine, Theroux shot back, "I wish Us magazine (sic) would put that on my calendar!"
He didn't comment further, but recently told reporters at a red carpet event that he and Aniston were in no rush to get married.

Sentara Cancer Network, EVMS present conference
When cancer has spread, or is especially difficult to treat, many patients and loved ones struggle for hope. That's why physicians in the Sentara Cancer Network are excited to offer a procedure called HIPEC, which stands for heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Showing great medical promise with HIPEC has led the Sentara Cancer Network and Eastern Virginia Medical School to present the Mid-Atlantic Peritoneal Malignancy Conference at the Virginia Beach Hilton on June 11 and 12.
This conference provides a unique opportunity for local clinicians to learn about this highly specialized, or quaternary, procedure and meet the pioneer of the surgery technique in one of its featured speakers, Dr. Paul Sugarbaker.
In simple terms, HIPEC is a specialized procedure for cancers that have spread throughout the abdomen. Once tumors are surgically removed, the abdomen cavity is washed in a heated chemotherapy solution. This is meant to treat any cells that have potentially been left behind after surgery.
There are fewer than 60 HIPEC programs in the United States, and two of them are located here in the Sentara Cancer Network in Hampton Roads. With such extensive experience performing the HIPEC procedure, surgeons at Sentara have seen how this valuable tool aids in the fight against cancer and in preserving life as more patients reach the significant five-year mark.
The Sentara Cancer Network credits a multidisciplinary approach that a procedure like this requires – from OR to nursing floor and pharmacy, this procedure requires extreme collaboration among providers for patient-centered care.
The Sentara Cancer Network is nationally accredited by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer as an integrated network program. It was the first in Virginia to receive this designation, which requires measurable demonstration of the close collaboration among multiple facilities and specialties.
