Re: Community online and Canada’s position at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
Telecommunities Canada (TC) is an organization that shares experiences of the impact of information and telecommunications use on community development. For over a decade, it has been concerned with making the practices of “community online” accessible.
Through our participation in the Global Community Networks Partnership (GCNP), TC has been very active in the WSIS preparation process. In October 2002, TC co-hosted the third international meeting of the GCNP in Montreal. That meeting produced a statement on community involvement in the information society. The Civil Society Secretariat of WSIS recognized the event and its outcome as a significant contribution to the international WSIS process. TC also used its own resources to send a delegate to the WSIS’s PrepCom 1. We continue our international participation through GCNP and its member organizations.
There has now been a decade of experience about change, innovation and adaptation at the community level in Canada. We do support the current push (in, for example, such programmes as BRAND) for increasing access to the technology of infrastructure via public / private business models. But we are concerned that public policy understandings or intentions with respect to long-term use of that infrastructure seem largely absent from public dialogue on Canada’s future.
Here are some of the principles we advocate in our international expression of Canadian experience:
Governance in Canada is conventionally imagined as a “top down” structure of national, provincial and municipal governments, with responsibilities for action constitutionally defined as flowing from the Crown downwards. In parallel, economic planning assumes a structure of national, regional and local markets and productive capacities. But national, regional and local doesn’t apply when any can and will connect to any. There is a new “network economy” emerging online. That economy is structured by distributing functions across open systems. That economy is uncentered. In it, what you know interacts with where you are in a totally different manner than is assumed by conventional assumptions of hierarchy.
We now live our economic life in smart markets. Everyone in those markets, producers, distributors, or consumers, are active participants in the knowledge base represented by its transactions and the use of the transactions record as feedback to simulate its future directions. Markets as networks that self-organize in this manner behave as if they were communities. In part, this is similar to what the economist Yochai Benkler, in referring to a new mode of production in digitally networked environments, has called "commons-based peer-production."
When community isolation by geography becomes mitigated by the fact of being online, then casting “rural” communities primarily in the role of consumers of broadband-based products and services will no longer make any sense. Communities want to participate in both the demand and supply side of markets online. They intend to become contributors to the “ecology” that grows the electronic commons, not merely grazers in it. They want the voices of community to spread outwards, not just to drink from a fire hose. Radio and TV too started as community assets then were taken over. Communities are unwilling to let that example repeat itself.
Because of the nature of open systems and networks, Canada is facing a major question of community capacity for autonomy in the deciding on the uses of ICTs for socio-economic development. When rural areas do get connected, economic participation becomes constrained as much by factors of imagination, motivation and experience as it now is by their physical relation to finite, geography-based resources. In a networked world, the strength of the Canadian economy is going to depend on the capacity of local communities to grow their own infrastructure and learn their way forward in the process.
We are not alone in our expression of these principles. As an example of the growing desire for community autonomy, we note that the final Plenary session of “Emerging BC and Yukon Communities in the Digital World: 2003 Community Learning Forum,” Richmond, BC, March 22, 2003 unanimously adopted a motion as follows:
"We want multilevel government commitment to enable a community led network of networks to strengthen community ICT initiatives in BC and Yukon."
In conclusion, we request your clarification of the degree to which our views of the impact of connectivity on change in Canada are or can be, reflected in public policy. For example, the document - World Summit on the Information Society: Canadian Contribution to PrepCom-2, Geneva, 17-28 February 2003. Government of Canada, 6 December 2002 – states as one of 7 principles:
Encouraging Community Involvement and Empowerment – In developing action plans to implement the foregoing principles, governments – in collaboration with the private sector and civil society – should place special emphasis on community-based initiatives, since it is at the community level that the challenges and opportunities of developing an inclusive global information society are most tangible for ordinary individuals.
We are, of course, in agreement with that principle. As you work on the implementation of that principle, we’d like to help.
We understand that Canada’s official position at WSIS is still open for discussion. Most certainly, Canada can supply relevant experience on the consequences of living daily life in a connected society. But, the expression of that experience must mirror the practices of the open systems it represents. What will emerge out of the interaction of many voices, often conflicting voices, has become far more important to Canada’s success as a learning society than is the search for a common point of view.
We seek assurances of more open processes of dialogue on national economic development planning related to ICT use, processes that are sensitive to the principles we have outlined. We offer our cooperation in any attempt to open up the processes of dialogue.
We will continue our involvement both nationally and internationally. Telecommunities Canada will continue to contribute to the WSIS process -- through our work in Canada and via our participation in GCNP. We offer our cooperation in the international expression of Canadian experience of the uses of ICTs for development and the impact of connectivity on socio-economic and political change.
President, Telecommunities Canada

"Pompey, the son of Julio and Phyllis, was born A.D. 1735, at Bologna in Italy, a place famous for lap-dogs and sausages." At an early age he was carried away from the boudoir of his Italian mistress by Hillario, an English gentleman illustrious for his gallantries, who brought him to London.
The rest of the history is really a chain of social episodes, each closed by the incident that Pompey becomes the property of some fresh person. In this way we find ourselves in a dozen successive scenes, each strongly contrasted with the others.

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Sew Pietra Shorts or Pants
Join us to sew chic-yet-cozy Pietra Shorts or Pants! This garment has a flat front, high-waisted silhouette with the comfort of an elastic waist in the back. Featuring lengthening panels in the front with slanted hip pockets and a hidden waist stay, you’ll never want to take them off.
In this confident-beginner, three-evening workshop, you'll learn to sew from a printed pattern, AND you'll sew an amazing pair of Pietra Shorts or Pants, custom made to fit your body. Choose between four leg styles: a wide leg in floor-skimming or cropped length, a slim and tapered leg, or gently flared shorts. You'll leave this class with the skills and confidence to tackle more garment sewing on your own.
You'll learn how to:
- Measure the body accurately to create a perfect fit

The report stated: The US says “the world is watching” how Iranian authorities respond to anti-government protests that have broken out in several cities.

Over the course of the last year, the ‘Russian hacking’ narrative has steadily deteriorated into accusations of nebulous Russian “collusion,” before changing into claims of nefarious ‘Russian trolling.’ By the end of the year, the investigation into Russian meddling had devolved into an outright retaliatory witch-hunt, and the subversion of Democracy shown by the DNC had gone largely unaddressed.

If you're looking for a natural remedy that can cure or prevent many common ailments, apple cider vinegar might be your answer. Best of all, this is not an expensive or exotic supplement that will strain your budget. This article will explain some of the leading health benefits of apple cider vinegar, and hopefully this will motivate you to try it for yourself.
Do you want whiter teeth? Many folks swear by the whitening effect of apple cider vinegar on their teeth. Because ACV is acidic, it not only gets rid of the stains on your teeth, but its anti-bacterial action cleans up the bacteria in your mouth and on your gums. Nevertheless, for teeth whitening, don't overuse apple cider vinegar or any other whitening treatment.
The reason why is it can damage the enamel on your teeth if used too often. If you want to use ACV to remove stains on your teeth, gargle with the ACV before you brush your teeth. Then, brush thoroughly. Even so, it's best to do this no more than once a week. You will then be protecting your enamel but still getting rid of the stains on your teeth. If you have hay fever or any other allergies, you may discover that your symptoms can be eased if you include apple cider vinegar in your life. If you suffer from allergies, give this a try because there have been numerous reports that some sufferers no longer have any kind of allergies whatsoever. For starters, drink a tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water three times a day and see if that doesn't relieve your symptoms. If your allergic symptoms are severe, you can increase the dosage of ACV to a quarter cup mixed with water. If you want to see your allergy symptoms vanish, do this on a constant basis. Apple cider vinegar helps your body to detox, and also helps make your immune system stronger. Every day you are exposed to allergens. You environment is full of them. When you can eliminate toxins from your body, as well as improve your immune system, you can fight these allergens more effectively.
Try using apple cider vinegar when you take a bath. It can have a very beneficial impact on your skin, and mixing in a small amount with your bath water can allow your whole body to absorb the nutrients. It will also eliminate any disease causing bacteria so you can avoid developing skin
. If the soaps or cleaners you use are strong, they likely leave toxic residues on your skin. ACV can effectively remove those residues as well. It's also therapeutic for your hair so you can actually use apple cider vinegar on your hair after shampooing. You'll need to rinse it out thoroughly, though. To treat sunburned skin, mix a cup of apple cider vinegar in bath water.
There are many good reasons to include apple cider vinegar in your
mayo clinic diet vs mediterranean diet
or take it as a supplement. It's external uses are also numerous. Besides athlete's foot, it can clear up many other skin conditions such as varicose veins and age spots. If you could find a list of all the health conditions that respond well to treatment with ACV, it would be

Health experts have raised the alarm over a rapid decline in contraceptive uptake and warned of adverse negative implications in the near future.
Sources at the National Aids and STIs Control Programme indicated that a number of counties had run short of Depo-Provera and implants.
Majority of women are now going for over the counter contraceptives.
In Kisumu, reports from the Department of Health and Sanitation indicated that in August last year, the uptake was at 60 per cent but has now dropped to 40 per cent.
According to the statistics, Kisumu central has recorded a decline of 73 per cent while Seme has dropped from 64 per cent to 40 per cent.
In Nyakach sub-county, the use of contraceptives now stands at 28 per cent, a drop from 38 per cent, with the other four sub-counties recording an average of 20 per cent drop.
The development is a major setback to the health sector that has been running a family planning campaign in the region. Projections show if the trend continues, use of contraceptives will further drop by another 20 per cent in the next four months.
The county’s Reproductive Health Coordinator Jane Owuor said there was a correlation between the sudden drop in uptake of contraceptives to Covid-19. She explained that shortly after coronavirus was detected in the country, public health facilities had run out of contraceptive choices.
“There was a hitch, but currently we are trying to ensure clients access contraceptive choices,” Ms Owuor noted.
The decline is also attributed to poor health infrastructure and constrained healthcare funding, as the county lacks specific budget for family planning.
“Recurrent strikes by health care workers and inadequately skilled workforce to provide quality family planning services have been attributed to the drop,” she said. Owuor also linked the drop to irregular supply of contraceptives and relevant equipment.
Leah Okiri, a gynecologist at Jaramogi Odinga Oginga Teaching and Referral Hospital, attributed the situation to women shying away from hospitals for fear of contracting Covid-19.
Statistics at the facility indicate that only five clients, from an average of 20 before Covid-19, visit in a day.
“We may not see the impact now, but later it will be felt because there is a possibility of increased family size,” noted Dr Okiri. With an increase in family size, the experts project rise in the poverty index in the region.
“There has been a fear about clients coming to the hospital and this will have negative implications in the future,” she said.
Dr Okiri noted that during this pandemic the clinic has remained open to anyone who wishes to seek family planning services.
However, Kisumu Medical and Education Trust CEO Monica Ogutu said shortage of key family planning choices had seen women stop seeking the services.
“Many women visit hospitals and when they miss out on their choice of contraceptives, they don’t return nor accept alternatives available,” Ms Ogutu said.
She wants the county to prioritise family planning and mobilise resources to ensure sustainability of the family planning campaign. She observed that financing for reproductive health had been shrinking, as a big fraction of it was always from donor funding.
County Health Executive Boaz Nyunya said Covid-19 had disrupted essential service delivery. He noted that there was a drop in aspects of essential services, including antenatal care, deliveries and family planning services. “Healthcare workers must be reorganised to be able to provide essential services. No service should be crippled in the process of responding to Covid-19,” he said.
Last week, Kisumu County officials unveiled a Family Planning Costed Implementation plan 2019-2023, which is meant to increase access to reproductive health services, including maternal and neonatal.
Currently, county antenatal coverage stands at 80 per cent, with skilled birth attendants at 66 per cent. Maternal mortality has been on the rise at 194 per 100,000 live births, excluding community maternal deaths.
Neonatal mortality rate is at 11 per 1,000 live births. The county has prioritised Universal Health Care (UHC) to help lower the neonatal and maternal death.
Last week, Kisumu county government signed a memorandum of understanding with NHIF, which will see UHC services provided to 45,000 households who cannot afford medical care. The projects starts from October 1. “When we meet family planning needs, we will reduce maternal and infant mortality and prevent unsafe abortions, which take place in back streets dens,” Nyunya said.
He added that unplanned pregnancies reamined a challenge in Kisumu, with officials grappling to debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding family planning.

Herbal parasite cleanse is needed because of the high percentage of people who struggle with parasite infestation.
The most common sites that parasites reside within us, in order of priority are:
1) the intestinal tract from stomach to anus,
2) the circulatory system
3) the blood and lymph systems
4) the liver
5) the respiratory system from tracheae to lungs6) the spaces between and among the internal organs
Parasites spread throughout the body in very sophisticated ways, occupying different sites at various life stages, varying their size, shape and cellular composition in ways and degrees which are designed to operate beyond the human immune system detection and eradication mechanisms.
Parasite are easy to catch but hard to test for clinically. A hand shake from a world traveler, a member of the family may carry a parasite and share with the whole family or household. Parasites can be picked up from the family pet(s) or just from the air. Parasite spores can become airborne and are totally invisible. We can pick them up by walking on the beach. We can pick them up in a bathroom. And of course if you have eaten in a third world country lately (that is to say, a fast food restaurant), you may have parasites.
Herbal parasite cleanse is needed because eighty-five percent of the world’s population has parasites in one form or another. There are over a thousand known parasites which can live in your body at any time.
Since the United States is experiencing a massive unrestricted and unquarantined immigration, it won’t be long before Americans will no longer be able to expect higher health standards. Within fifty years, life in this nation may be no better than any other third world country (just judge the future by the past ten or fifteen years). So learning how to deal with parasites will be a very important survival skill to have and pass on to your children.
The colon seems to be the main focus of parasite cleansing. There are several main categories of intestinal parasites including flukes, round worms and tapeworms.
Regarding intestinal flukes which can grow up to four inches in length, they normally live part of their life cycles out side of the body. Propyl alcohols are used or consumed in foods, cosmetics, industrial contaminants or air pollution. Based on a new theory of Dr. Hulda Clark, propyl alcohol provides flukes with an environment allowing the fluke to complete its life cycle inside the human body.
This allows the fluke to migrate throughout the body and enables it to infect every tissue and organ in the body. Avoiding propyl alcohols, alcoholic beverages and enhancing the liver's ability to rapidly detox alcohol provides defense against parasites.
Defense against parasites is what an herbal parasite cleanse will do for you when accompanied by good sanitation methods.
Sanitation needs to be both external and internal. Washing hands frequently when in public and handling public items. The third world invasion requires this. Growing and preparing your own food is a good idea even though impractical for many people.
Eating out less and preparing your own food helps in prevention. Vegetables can be washed and soaked in special soaps that are bio-degradeable and able to safely remove parasites and eggs from fruits and vegetable for safe consumption. These soaps also remove pesticides and other harmful bacteria.
Enhancing the digestive process with enzymes and HCL is also every good as these break down the mucus coatings on parasite eggs and help the eggs to be digested the thereby neutralized in harmful effect.
A total and complete cleansing of the gut removes the environment friendly to parasites. parasites have a hard time hiding from your immune system when the toxic debris is removed.
After colon cleansing, cycling two weeks on and two weeks off for two to four cycles is helpful for removing the last eggs or spores that are attached to the bowel lining.
The more cycles done, the greater the probability that a complete herbal parasite cleanse has been completes.
Parasites leave a lot of eggs that must be eliminated over time. One parasite will suppress other parasites and the hatching of its own eggs. Remove the major parasite and the terrain has changed. Other parasites come to the fore. You must keep herbal parasite cleansing until you are clean. it takes time.
A healthy immune system will attack parasites. By inflammation of the sites of attachement it will push them off. It will attack with free radicals, acids and enzymes once armed by good nutrition and nutrients. The immune system will encapsule eggs so they can't grow or multiply.
A healthy and cleans body naturally prevents infestation and eliminates parasites as they invade.
Common anti-parasite herbs are garlic, black walnut, clove, cinnamon, cayenne, ginger, tea tree oil and pau d-arco. Any herb that suppresses putrefaction, improves digestion and elimination can have a role in parasite suppression and removal.

Louis van Gaal's speech started sombrely but ended with the Manchester United manager urging the crowd to applaud a female saxophonist.
Van Gaal's eight-minute oration was , perhaps, fuelled by a bottle of Rioja, which one of his predecessors would have approved of.
And, judging by the reaction of United supporters - and even some opposition fans - the Dutchman's popularity in England has soared, report the Manchester Evening News.
Yes, Van Gaal's speech included another boast of United's inconsequential possession stats at Chelsea, but he promised United supporters they were 'very close' to the Premier League champions, despite the 15-point chasm.
United might have experienced a trophyless season yet in Van Gaal they have a manager the supporters appear to be proud of.
His Old Trafford rallying cry appears to have won over the sceptics, and the odd member of the enemy...

Burger King menus in Japan how have the distinct honor of hosting BK's newest sandwich, the Meat Monster.
This lunch-time behemoth is made of two hamburger patties, a chicken breast fillet, two slices of processed cheese, three slices of bacon, optional egg patty, and contains all the trimmings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, teriyaki sauce) served between seeded white buns.
That's one impressive sandwich, but so is the calorie count. According to The Consumerist:
While the PDF press release breaks down the cost of the Monster and its components ... it doesn't seem to make mention of the calorie count. But if you were to make the same beast using the U.S. equivalents of the elements in the Monster, you'd be looking at: 1160 calories, 24g of saturated fat, 240mg of cholesterol, 13g of sugar, 54g carbs, 69g of fat, 1.5g of trans fat, and 2290mg sodium.
According to a press release from Burger King, the Meat Monster will cost you about $9.70.
But in the tradition of Burger King, customers interested in the Meat Monster are encouraged to have it their way.
Sadly, the Meat Monster will only be attacking diners in Japan ... for now.
Does the Meat Monster make your mouth water? Be sure to check out today's report and video on fake chicken from Adriene Hill.

FROM sand dunes in Birkdale to dune bashing in the Middle East, as part of the travelling Visiter feature I caught up with a family living the dream in Abu Dhabi... only to find out that their dream life would actually be back home in Southport.
The Howard family, Sheryl, David, Conor and Kyra, have been living in the United Arab Emirates for the past ten years, while going back to Southport in between work contracts.
But living an ex-pat life with the sun out every day, champagne brunches galore, petrol cheaper than water and the family boat right on their doorstep, they insist “you can’t beat home sweet home in Southport.”
Sheryl said: “It’s quite an experience living out here. There are some fantastic things about it like planning a barbecue without worrying about the weather, dune bashing at the weekend or days out on our boat.”
David added: “Petrol and diesel is about 22 pence a litre. And my job in Facilities Management enables me to have design input to some iconic projects such as the Guggenheim Museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and many more.”
But living in a country under strict Sharia law can come with some difficulties. Sheryl said: “When Ramadan is on, you can’t eat or drink publicly between sunrise and sunset for a whole month, so cafes and restaurants are not open anywhere. Driving standards are also appalling here, and it’s an expensive city to live in, rated 27th in the world with rent costs higher than London.”
Before living in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the Howards lived in Birkdale. Conor, 14, and Kyra, 13, attended Farnborough Road School, and they now go to The British School - Al Khubairat.
Speaking of the change in lifestyles, Kyra said: “Our school now is huge and really modern. We have two outdoor swimming pools. It’s a British school but we have pupils from all nationalities, it’s nice to meet new people from different backgrounds. But we don’t get hot dinners at lunchtime and I really miss that.”
Conor said: “We have great school trips, I went skiing in Austria last year, and Kyra is going to Madrid in June, and we get two months summer holidays. But when we were at Farnborough Road School, me, Kyra and my mum could all walk to school together, we can’t do that here. We also have to learn Arabic which is really difficult.”
Kyra added: “We both miss our friends too. One annoying thing about going to school here is that we have to be there at 7am, so that we can finish before it gets too hot.”
The family, who live in Southport for two month stints every summer when the temperature reaches 48C, miss the community spirit that Southport offers.
Sheryl said: “The summer months are unbearably hot, we couldn’t cope without air conditioning. That’s why we love to come home to Southport and you will never ever hear us complaining about ‘the British summer’. There is nothing better than wandering along Lord Street, sitting outside a cafe and having a glass of wine without breaking the law.
“Most of all, we miss our weekends with pub meals in the Falstaff among family and friends, and having a read of our favourite paper, the Southport Visiter.”

Devoted world music fans — and those who just dabble in it via Vampire Weekend — can live it up today and tomorrow when two festivals import sounds from around the globe and our own back yard.
The seventh annual globalFest features 12 bands performing on three stages at Webster Hall tomorrow. Tonight, the Mondo Mundo Festival brings “world music from the fringe” to the Hiro Ballroom.
Both shows are associated with this weekend’s annual Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference, aimed at those who book shows at clubs, venues and festivals. Bands and artists hope to entertain presenters — and eventually get a gig.
For regular fans, the shows will simply be a universal good time, full of eclectic sounds, some lively dancing and perhaps a sneak preview of the next big act.
GlobalFest’s Caravan Palace, for example, is already a platinum-selling act in France. “They’re a gypsy-swing band with an electronic vibe,” says Isabel Soffer, director of programming at the World Music Institute, a co-
producer of globalFest. “No one has heard of them here, but they’ll be playing major arts centers and festivals such as Bonnaroo and Coachella.”
Other bands at globalFest include Siberian punk rock band Namgar and Algerian folk-rock singer Souad Massi. For the full lineup, see globalfest-ny.org.
Artists slated for Mondo Mundo include West African electronica act Burkina Electric and Lebanese-born singer-songwriter Abaji.
Both festivals take advantage of the abundance of world music already in New York and the US, which can be an advantage in times of smaller budgets and tightened visa regulations.
For example, globalFest’s zydeco heir Cedric Wilson hails from Louisiana. New York is home to both La Cumbiamba eNeYé, which plays Afro-Colombian music, and the contemporary salsa orchestra La Excelencia.
Mondo Mundo’s Afro-Latin funksters Ocote Soul Sounds and folk-blues singer Toshi Reagon are also based here.
GlobalFest kicks off at Webster Hall (125 E. 11th St.) tomorrow at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $40 through ticketmaster.com or the World Music Institute box office, 212-545-7536. The Mondo Mundo Festivals hits the Hiro Ballroom (371 W. 16th St.) today at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $15 through TicketWeb (ticketweb.com or 866-468-7619).

Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community
By Nancy Markoe, LICSW
National Recovery Month (NRM) promotes awareness about addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery, encouraging the hopeful and inspiring message that treatment is effective and people can and do recover. This observance highlights the strength and humanity of individuals who have fought for their lives, reclaimed their health, and are prospering in long-term recovery.
The goals of NRM are to:
- Reduce stigma by educating the public
- Celebrate individuals in recovery from a substance use disorder or mental illness
- Honor prevention, treatment and recovery support service providers, and
- Encourage individuals and communities to take action to help expand the availability of effective prevention, treatment, and recovery support services for families and individuals in need.
The theme of NRM 2021, Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community, resonates with social workers across the United States, reminding us that treatment should be available and accessible to everyone and no one is alone on the road to recovery.
Social work’s holistic, strengths-based approach and evidence-based methods are essential to successful treatment and sustained recovery. As behavioral health providers in numerous settings from hospitals and schools to clinics and community, social workers are uniquely qualified to diagnose, educate, support and treat patients in recovery. Understanding the role of the individual in environment allows social workers to navigate the complex social factors involved in both the creation of substance use disorders and in their successful treatment.
While the stress and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic have imposed enormous challenges on people living with substance use disorders and mental illness, the growth of telehealth platforms and virtual spaces have nonetheless helped patients access support in new ways. This disruption to school, work and social life has also allowed some to embrace and sustain positive change – even in the face of undeniable adversity.
Social workers recognize that substance use disorders and mental illness are every bit as deserving of our attention, compassion and healthcare investments as any chronic condition including breast cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. No other illness carries the stigma and shame associated with substance use disorders and mental illness and those in the recovery community are working hard to change that. Not just during NRM, but every day of the year. NASW encourages its members to support NRM and help combat the social stigma around addiction, celebrate recovery, and promote awareness.

Students can help astronaut Steve MacLean count stars during space shuttle Atlantis’ upcoming mission, set to launch September 8 from Kennedy Space Center. As part of the Star Count experiment, STS-115 crew member and Canadian Space Agency astronaut MacLean will upload data from the Star Count web site and make observations while aboard the space shuttle.
This educational experiment lets students help astronomers assess atmospheric light pollution and study how many stars ground-based observers can see in the night sky. Students will contribute information (number of stars observed, observing location, and viewing conditions) to the Star Count project’s online database and compare their observations with those of MacLean and other ground-based observers.
Students who wish to take part in the Star Count project can visit its web site for more information.
Bound for the International Space Station, space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center tomorrow. STS-115 was to have launched August 27, but bad weather and fuel-cell problems have delayed its launch until at least September 8 for further testing.

Fairy Feast Menu
Candied Sunflower Seeds*
Yogurt Covered Raisins*
Rice Crispie Star Wands
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Ants on a Log
Buttermilk-Herb Dip with Baby Carrots
Raspberry-Vanilla Yogurt Parfaits
I’ve been drooling over all the gorgeous party dessert tables I’ve been seeing all over Blogland. I was really hoping to create something gloriously similar, but I ended up with too much food and too small a table! Oh well, it still tasted great! I bought a lot of little things for the Fairies to nibble on and most of the rest of the party food I made in advance. Hallelulijah! I hate all the pressure of making party food the day of the party! Especially since this one was a morning party!
I really loved the chocolate bowls (the kids did too!) but they would have been better in an air-conditioned room or served in the cooler months. They held up okay for the party, but when it was over they sort of went to pieces! Ooops! I used the same method as I did for the chocolate nests I did for Easter. But I formed these over the backs of some disposable bowls, and I brushed on an extra layer of melted chocolate once they had set up. Worked like a charm, until the heat index rose!
I came across the star wands on How Does She? by way of Kelloggs Rice Crispies. These were perfect for Amelia’s party! I had planned on making shortbread star cookie wands, but my nephew (who was attending the party) was recently diagnosed as lactose intolerant, so I needed to figure out different party foods. These have the added bonus of being ‘make ahead’. You can make them up and freeze them for up to 6 months! Sweet! One less party food to worry about the day of the bash! I added food coloring to the marshmallow mixture before I stirred in the cereal. By the way, I still stand by these treats, but I do suggest you don’t try to make and serve them on a boiling hot day. It was 83 degrees here in Maine (the weather website said it felt like 105 and it wasn’t kidding!) and by the time it was time for the fairies to feast the stars were plopping off their wands and onto the table. Bummer.
I loved the frappe drink we served. I portioned out some mixed berry sherbet into the cups the day before and popped them in the freezer. Then when it was time to eat I brought them out and poured Sprite over them. Easy Peasy!
For the cake pops I used my favorite cupcake/cake recipe. Which I am going to post in it’s purest form, I keep thinking it’s already on my blog and it isn’t! (Different variations are.) Head over to Bakerella to see how she makes perfect cake pops. I don’t make perfect cake pops, I just plop them on their heads and cover them with sprinkles!
From Gesine at Confections of a Closet Master Baker
2 sticks butter, room temperature
2 cups of sugar
5 eggs, room temperature
3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray two 8” round pans with Baker’s Joy, alternatively, fill two 12 cup muffin tins with liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In your blender, beat the butter for a minute to make sure it’s completely softened.
Add the sugar and beat until it’s light and fluffy. Very light, very fluffy. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure ALL the butter and sugar is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Add a third of the flour mixture and beat well.
Add a third of the buttermilk and beat well.
Repeat with the remaining flour and buttermilk. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl well to make sure all ingredients are incorporated.
Pour in the vanilla and beat the batter well.
Portion out into pans and bake for 20-25 minutes. (For cupcakes, check them after 15 minutes)
The (cup)cakes should be golden and should spring back from a light touch.
Cool on wire racks completely before frosting.
I’m pleased to report that the fairies loved their feast! What sweet-toothed child wouldn’t?

Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilators
Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilator Services
Improve Air Circulation with Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilators in Portland, OR
Most homes today are sealed and well-insulated, which can be beneficial for maintaining comfort levels. More efficient cooling, limited drafts, and easier HVAC maintenance can all result from a well-insulated space. While improving climate control, the sealed nature of many modern homes also contributes to stagnant, polluted air being re-circulated and inhaled within your living space. The concentration of air contaminants and organic irritants can multiply if left unchecked, so installing a system that can bring fresh air into your space is important.
Work with HVAC experts and indoor air quality professionals at Oregon Heating & Air Conditioning for a solution tailored to your living space. Humidity levels, allergens, and airborne particles can all be addressed with our air filtration, purification, and heat and energy recovery ventilators options. Forget about leaving windows and doors open during hot summers and cold winters and work with our team to find a year-round solution that truly improves your air quality.
Learn more about heat and energy recovery ventilators from HVAC experts in Portland, OR. You can request a free, no-obligation estimate online and also call us today at 503-691-9699.
How Does a Heat Recovery Ventilator Work?
Keep your furnace and air conditioner operating at peak performance while bringing in fresh air from outdoors using a heat recovery ventilator. Maintain your ideal temperature indoors while bringing fresh air into the space. Heat recovery ventilators work to make air temperate before circulating it throughout the home. Save money and reduce symptoms caused by poor air quality with this popular addition to your existing HVAC system.
These systems work through a process known as counterflow heat exchange, where stale air from inside is used to heat or cool fresh outdoor air before it enters the home. The stale air is then channeled outdoors while you breathe in better quality air. Don’t sacrifice the climate control of your home when you want to improve air quality. Year-round, no matter the weather forecast, a heat recovery ventilator can be used to integrate fresh air into your living space and reduce the buildup of contaminants in your ventilation system.
Understanding Energy Recovery Ventilators
Energy recovery ventilators or ERVs are also used to bring outdoor air into the home. Rather than placing an additional burden on your heater or air conditioner, the air is warmed through energy that is otherwise lost. This efficient option uses indoor air to transfer heat to cold air entering the home. It can also work to cool warm air to maintain the desired indoor temperature. Improve air quality and circulation while avoiding rising heating bills or making significant changes to your home’s sealant with these efficient and effective systems.
Benefits of HRV and ERV Services in Portland, OR
Wondering why you might consider a heat or energy recovery ventilator for your home? The following benefits may be of interest to you if you want to improve indoor air quality:
- Humidity balance: In addition to temperature, moisture levels can be transferred between indoor and outdoor air in an ERV system. If your home is overly dry or has too much moisture, this ventilator may be the solution.
- Air quality improvement: Contaminants, stale air, pollutants, and particles can all be replaced by fresh air without significant structural changes, causing issues for your HVAC system, or rising heating bills.
- Energy savings: Avoid an increase and save with approximately 85% energy recovery from an energy recovery ventilator when compared with the alternative of opening doors and windows.
Call for Comprehensive Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilator Services in Portland, OR
Beyond HRV and ERV installations, maintenance, and repairs, we also offer consultations to help you find the best indoor air quality solution for your home. With intimate knowledge of HVAC systems, we can recommend a solution that maintains the temperature and efficiency of your existing units. Our technicians are fully licensed, insured, and bonded, and our repairs are guaranteed for 90 days to give you confidence in your HVAC system.

Alyssa Granito with Dr. Umar Mahmood (MGH)
One of the main components of the body’s natural response to cancer is via cell-mediated immunity. The research project incorporates knowledge about the role of the immune system in cancer with imaging and use of radiopharmaceuticals. We study the interaction of cancer cells with various components of the body’s natural immune response to cancer in an effort to create novel imaging probes and radiolabeled drugs for improved diagnosis and treatment responses. The work focuses on cell-mediated immunity and its role in the body’s immune response to tumor growth and inflammation in various animal models. The research utilizes several different techniques, such as flow cytometry, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence to study both in vitro and in vivo response. We will also image animal models of cancer with the developed probe by PET imaging to evaluate response to treatment. Being able to investigate immune response allows physicians to better understand the pathophysiology of cancer on an individualized basis and more accurately adjust novel treatment approaches such as immunotherapy thus optimizing enrollment of the best candidates for these groups of treatments and improving treatment effectiveness.

- Prime Minister to host the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies to discuss how government, industry and the NHS can continue to work together to tackle emerging variants and future pandemics
- The virtual summit will explore how lessons learned from the Covid-19 response can be applied to solve other healthcare challenges of our generation – dementia, cancer, mental health, and obesity
- This comes as industry announces nearly half a billion of new investment in UK Life Sciences, supporting 420 jobs and bringing the total investment over £5bn since July
- NHS Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard and Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance will attend the summit
Today Prime Minister Boris Johnson will convene the Biopharmaceutical CEO Roundtable of global industry leaders – including AstraZeneca, GSK and Pfizer – to accelerate discussions on pandemic preparedness, as world-leading scientists work at pace to better understand the Omicron variant.
With the new variant adding a sense of urgency to the talks, there will be a renewed focus on the significance of the domestic and international vaccine effort, including boosters.
Applying the lessons learned from the remarkable response to Covid-19, such as the vaccines taskforce and discovery of dexamethasone, the Prime Minister will outline ambitions for a dynamic partnership with industry that, together with the NHS and academia, can develop life-changing innovations and solve the most pressing health challenges of today including dementia, cancer, mental health and obesity.
The Prime Minister also welcomes nearly £500m of new investment from the sector today, which will create at least 420 high-skilled jobs and drive economic prosperity across the UK.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
With scientists around the world working tirelessly to learn more about the Omicron variant, we have never been more indebted to the extraordinary power of Life Sciences.
Today I am bringing global industry leaders together to discuss our renewed efforts against Covid-19, while ensuring we are better equipped to tackle future healthcare challenges.
As we press ahead with our goal to become a science superpower, the new investments made today will help us forge life-changing breakthroughs against other diseases, such as cancer and dementia, while creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs across the country.
Today’s roundtable follows the Prime Minister’s commission to the G7 in February 2021, which launched the ambitious 100 Days Mission to accelerate the development of safe and effective diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines [DTVs] in response to a new pandemic threat. G7 Chief Scientific Advisers have [today] published the first implementation report for G7 Leaders, emphasising the need to harness rapid advances in science and technology and strong public-private collaboration to fill the gaps in our current arsenal of DTVs.
Sir Patrick Vallance, Government Chief Scientific Adviser, said:
Scientific innovation and public-private collaboration are essential to help us prepare for future pandemics.
The 100 Days Mission is ambitious, but also achievable and essential to ensure we have safe and effective diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines within 100 days of a future pandemic threat being identified.
Today’s discussions will also cover the role of the NHS as a powerful driver of innovation in new treatments and technologies, alongside four critical Healthcare Missions – which build on the Life Sciences Vision published earlier this year. Government has already ringfenced £95m of funding for these areas, and it will continue to invest heavily into research on the greatest causes of death and diseases in the UK. The four Missions outlined below will help create an outstanding business and healthcare environment to generate further innovation and investment:
- Novel treatments for dementia, making the UK a leading place in the world to develop the first new treatments for dementia in a generation
- Treatment and prevention of obesity, using the most interesting new technologies to help people reach and maintain a healthy weight
- Increase the understanding of mental health conditions, developing the right tools to deliver game-changing outcomes for patients
- Diagnose cancer with increased specificity, making the UK the best place in the world to develop and use targeted diagnostics and treatments
Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said:
The UK’s life sciences sector has been a shining light in our response to COVID-19 and the pandemic has taught us that scientific and technological innovation within a competitive, free market economy leads to the creation of effective medicines, vaccines and treatments.
That’s why we want to build a pro-enterprise environment that incentivises our most innovative life sciences firms to flourish, create jobs, commercialise and manufacture more life-saving products right here in the UK.
Today’s investment by Britain’s life sciences industry – at nearly half a billion pounds – is evidence that our 10 year Life Sciences Vision is working as we look to cement the UK’s status as global science superpower.
Helping to cement the UK as a Life Sciences superpower and build back better from Covid-19, the individual investments secured today include: £400m from Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies to create the largest biopharmaceutical manufacturing site in the UK; £30m from GSK to deepen understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, and improve the success and speed of R&D of new medicines using advanced technologies; £17m from Bristol Myers Squibb to expand their headquarters to accommodate global drug development in data science and biometrics; £11.7m from J&J for a new digital surgery ecosystem in Leeds; and £1.5 million from Roche for a blood test evaluation programme that will genomically profile lung cancer.
Underlining the confidence that BCR companies have in UK science, today’s new investments bring the total investment figure by these companies to over £9.5bn in the last two years. This year, UK Life Sciences companies raised a record breaking total of £6.6bn in the first 10 full months of 2021, a tenfold increase on the amount raised in 2012 (OLS analysis of S&P Capital IQ data).
This comes as the Department for International Trade adds a healthcare and life sciences landing page in the Investment Atlas, previously launched at the Global Investment Summit. This will highlight the UK’s strength in biopharmaceuticals and its offer to potential inward investors, as well as the extensive Government support available to potential inward investors.

Peter McLeod of ProspectIP explains the Technology Readiness Scale and how each level is defined.
If you are involved in research commercialisation then it’s important to understand the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale and how to evaluate your technology against it.
The Technology Readiness Level scale is a type of measurement system used to assess or indicate the maturity level of a particular technology. It was originally defined by NASA in the 1980s a method of maturity of space exploration technology, but it is now used across all industry sectors.
If you are involved in research commercialisation, the potential partners, funders or investors will want to know what ‘TRL’ your project is at. The Technology Readiness Level scale was introduced into EU funded projects in 2014 as part of the Horizon 2020 framework program.
There are 10 points (or stages) along the TRL scale; projects will reach levels at a different rate and some projects may skip some levels entirely.
The 10 points on the TRL scale
- TRL0: Idea. An unproven concept, no testing has been performed.
- TRL 1: Basic research. Principles have been observed but no experimental proof available.
- TRL 2: Technology formulation. Concept and application have been formulated and validated.
- TRL 3: Applied research. First laboratory tests completed; proof of concept.
- TRL 4: Small scale prototype built in a laboratory environment.
- TRL 5: Large scale prototype tested in intended environment.
- TRL 6: Prototype system tested in intended environment and operating at close to expected performance.
- TRL 7: Demonstration system operating in intended environment at pre-commercial scale.
- TRL 8: First of a kind commercial system. Manufacturing issues resolved.
- TRL 9: Full commercial application, with the technology available for consumers.
Help with assessing the TRL of your product or technology project
Assigning an accurate TRL to your project can be quite challenging. The TRL scale is self-declared and definitions of the various stages can be quite general, and transitions between them not always easy to measure.

Sales tax voted down, water rates will go up in Carson City
Carson City residents voted down the city’s proposal to raise sales tax 1/8 of a percent to fund storm drainage management.
Of the 22,018 who voted on Carson City’s Question 1, about 57 percent voted no.
“I’m quite surprised that question is going down,” Carson City Supervisor Richard Staub said after preliminary results trickled in from the Carson City Elections Office. “The board is going to have to do something to fund storm drainage improvements. We already added $1.70.”
Last spring the Carson City Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to charge residents an extra $1.70 a month on their city water bills to make $1.2 million worth of improvements per year on the drainage system, mandated by the federal government’s Clean Water Act.
Public properties now pay an additional $10.35, manufacturing businesses pay $13.75, and commercial customers pay $15.50.
Now those rates, Staub said, will probably double because the sales-tax rate increase proposal was defeated
“I thought the sales tax was necessary for Carson City,” said Carson Station owner Clark Russell. “I don’t like the idea of raising taxes, rates or fees, but we have to do something.”
Carson City Question 2 asked whether the Nevada Constitution should be amended to include provisions that the state Legislature not impose laws without designating state funds to support them, and not enact legislation that would reduce state money previously authorized for county and city services.
That question passed, with 59.7 percent of the vote.
Cheers erupted at Mayor-elect Marv Teixeira’s party.
“No to unfunded mandates,” announced Teixeira’s wife, Liz.
Everyone at Teixeira’s gathering agreed Carson City’s money should not be spent on projects mandated by the federal or state government.

Barilla tops among ‘world's most respected companies’
Italy-based pasta maker Barilla Holding was No. 1, Kraft was the only U.S. firm to make the top 10 and a handful of international food firms were among the top scorers in the Reputation Institute’s annual ranking of corporate reputations.
Barilla, based in Parma, Italy, but with U.S. headquarters in Bannockburn, Ill., scored 87.79 out of a possible 100. Fellow Italian firm Ferrero, which makes chocolates and Nutella hazelnut spread, ranked eighth with a score of 82.98. The ranking was carried on www.forbes.com.
Northfield, Ill.-based Kraft Foods Inc., with a score of 81.82, made 10th place, the highest ranking for any U.S. firm. Pepsico scored a 78.85, good enough for 23rd. Other food companies in the top 50:
28. McCain Foods (Canada) 78.03 points
30. Grupo Bimbo (Mexico) 77.86
37. Grupo Leche Pascual SA (Spain) 77.06
46. Ebro Puleva SA (Spain) 76.60
The Reputation Institute, a New York consulting firm, has been ranking corporate reputations in conjunction with Harris Interactive since 1999. They only surveyed Americans, however, and only ranked the 60 companies that were most frequently named by respondents. This year, the two organizations parted ways.
For the late-2006 poll, the Reputation Institute surveyed 30,000 people around the world and ranked 600 of the largest companies worldwide. Companies were only judged on their home turf. Then the institute culled that list down to the 300 largest companies worldwide and asked consumers from each country to rank at least 10 firms.
The list contains a few surprises, according to Forbes. The U.S. Postal Service, for example, made the top 30 in the U.S., with a score of 67.25. It came in just behind Caterpillar, Mars, and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The company with the worst reputation worldwide was Halliburton, with a score of 21.86. The defense contractor was one of only three companies, including Sweden's Skandia and Japan's Mitsubishi Motors, to achieve a dubious feat: a reputation score below 30.

Many people with Hepatitis B do not know they are infected. It’s advisable to get tested often so it can be detected early. If left untreated, it may lead to scarring of the liver or liver cancer. This is why every July 28th, the world commemorates World Hepatitis Day to create more awareness.
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is simply an inflammation of the liver. The hepatitis viruses replicate in the liver cells, causing the liver to malfunction and the liver is one of the most important organs in the human body that produces hormones and proteins, stores fats and vitamins, and purifies the blood.
There are various forms of hepatitis:
- Hepatitis A is easily transmitted from person to person via contaminated food or water. It can mostly be avoided by observing good sanitation and washing one’s hands.
- Hepatitis B is spread by infected bodily fluids, contaminated needles or razors, and during birth, if the mother is infected.
- Hepatitis C can be transferred through infected blood: sharing needles or blood transfusions.
- Hepatitis D is a small viral agent that requires hepatitis B to be present and can be infected via the same methods as hepatitis B. The presence of hepatitis B and D is very difficult to treat, and those infected may develop severe liver scarring more rapidly.
- Hepatitis E is a waterborne disease caused by faecal contamination, normally found in areas with poor sanitation.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis?
Symptoms include fatigue, mild fever, muscle ache, dark urine, stomach pain, and jaundice. By the time one notices symptoms, considerable damage may have already been done to the organ. If left untreated it can lead to cirrhosis and serious liver scarring.
Although there is no cure for chronic hepatitis, there are a variety of medications available to manage the symptoms.
You should note that Baby boomers are most likely to have the infection. Experts say it could be because they could have been infected before blood screening methods changed in 1992. Doctors strongly suggest that if you were born between 1945 and 1965, you get tested for hepatitis C.

A brash single dad and a beautiful, ambitious cooking teacher follow the recipe for romance in this delectable treat from beloved author Sally Goldenbaum. The first time they met, Pete Webster had been the blind date from hell. Ellie Livingston hoped never to see him again. Now Pete’s a student in the cooking class she’s designed just for men, and he looks good enough to eat! But Ellie’s afraid that a relationship is off the table: Falling for a man with kids—no matter how adorable—would simply be biting off more than she can chew. Since his wife left him, Pete has learned that his gourmet cuisine—like his specialty, peanut butter and egg sandwiches—just won’t cut it for two growing children. He’s also learned not to trust beautiful women. But Ellie, with her sparkling passion and spicy personality, is for real, even if she doesn’t see him the same way. Now it’s up to Pete to go off the lesson plan and cook up a little trouble—in the kitchen and the bedroom. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Deep Autumn Heat, The Last Warrior, and Kevin’s Story.
Sally Goldenbaum is the author of over forty novels, most recently the Seaside Knitters Mystery Series set in the fictional town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts. Born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Sally now lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, with her husband, Don.

Nearly one out of six US homes (15.8%) had only wireless telephones in the second half of 2007, according to preliminary results from the July-December 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Moreover, more than one out of eight American homes (13.1%) received all or nearly all calls on wireless telephones despite having a landline phone in the home, the survey found (via CNN).
Consequently, “the potential for bias due to undercoverage remains a real and growing threat to surveys conducted only on landline telephones,” according to the NHIS.
Other findings issued by the CDC:
- More than 32 million adults – about 14.5% of all adults – lived in households with only wireless telephones; similarly, 14.4% of all children – or more than 10 million of them – lived in households with only wireless phones. Those percentages have remained largely unchanged over the past three years.
- The percentage of adults living in wireless-only households has been steadily increasing:
- In the last 6 months of 2007, more than one out of every seven adults lived in wireless-only households.
- One year before that (that is, during the last 6 months of 2006), fewer than one out of every eight adults lived in wireless-only households.
- And two years before that (that is, during the last 6 months of 2004), only 1 out of every 18 adults lived in wireless-only households.
- Approximately 2.2% of households had no telephone service (neither wireless nor landline); approximately 4 million adults (1.9%) and 1.5 million children (2.1%) lived in these households.
- Nearly 6 in 10 adults? (56.9%) living with unrelated roommates lived in households with only wireless telephones – the highest prevalence rate among population subgroups considered.
- Adults renting their home (30.9%) were more likely than adults owning their home (7.3%) to be living in households with only wireless telephones.
- Adults living in the South (17.1%) and Midwest (15.3%) were more likely than adults living in the Northeast (10.0%) to be living in households with only wireless telephones.
- Non-Hispanic white adults (12.9%) were less likely than Hispanic adults (19.3%) or non-Hispanic black adults (18.3%) to be living in households with only wireless telephones.
About the data: In May and December, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) releases selected estimates of telephone coverage for the civilian noninstitutionalized US population based on data from NHIS, along with comparable estimates from NHIS for the previous 3 years. The estimates are based on in-person interviews. From July through December 2007, household telephone status information was obtained for 13,083 households. These households included 24,514 adults aged 18 years and over and 9,122 children less than 18 years of age. NHIS interviews are conducted continuously throughout the year to collect information on health status, health-related behaviors, and health care utilization.


Yes, there are newspaper advertising ‘secrets’ that are known to a small percentage of savvy business owners. By using these secrets to make your ad, you can easily triple the response you get to your newspaper advertising
But, before I tell you more, I want to reveal one of these secrets to you right now. Something that you can benefit from immediately.
You see, the newspaper employs a Graphic Artist to put the ads together. He has to make lots of ads. To save time he churns out these ads super-fast using standard templates that can be re-used again and again.
I mean, what does a Graphic Artist know about selling? All his training has been focused on art stuff and making the ads look good. His ads will just blend in with the rest of the newspaper and won’t catch the attention of prospective customers.
Let me put it like this. If you walk into an art gallery you’ll see lots of pretty paintings on the walls. None of them would immediately catch your attention.
But if one of those paintings was hanging crooked you would notice it as soon as you entered the room. It stands out from all the other paintings like a new car in a junk yard because it’s different.
Likewise, most newspaper advertising that you see is what is known as institutional advertising. It looks good in the newspaper. But It does a very poor job of getting you customers. And it’s the kind of ad that you’ll end up with if you let the newspaper or an ad agency make your… Read more…

Serial dater Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera were spotted trying to hide in the back of a car leaving West Hollywood’s Wonderland nightclub last night.
Might these two hotties be dating?
A source said singer Ryan, who’s sporting some serious Pauly D hair, and The Hills star were spotted getting cozy together during their night at the club.
According to reports, the pair had also been spotted together on Sunday at a performance of Broadway’s “Rock of Ages.” Maybe there’s something to it!
Then again, it’s Audrina Patridge. She’s pretty much the queen of on-off quasi-dating. As long as it’s not with Justin-Bobby, though, that’s all good …

Man in custody after short standoff in Norwood
A man surrendered without further incident Sunday after a standoff with Norwood police that lasted about one hour, officials said.
Officers were called to a residence near the corner of Duck Creek Road and Williams Avenue just after 6 p.m. for reports of a neighbor dispute and possible assault, Lt. Ronald Murphy said.
When police approached the scene, the male suspect ran into his home and initially refused to come out, Murphy said.
A SWAT team was activated but wasn't needed. The suspect surrendered to police and was taken into custody.
Norwood police have not released the identity of the man or provided any information about what charges the man might face.
No further information is available.
