Rourke, Jericho on Larry King
if you didn’t contract mickey rourke and chris jericho on cnn’s larry king live last night, you didn’t really miss anything. jericho basically reiterated the points that he made in his promo on raw monday. rourke was passive and didn’t have a whole oodles to say except that he would be willing to take on jericho in a boxing prospect or a bare knuckles combat but not a wrestling match. it was weird to decide jericho, who has been on the show in the past out of character, appearing as his wwe heel Cialis persona. king chuckled a two times during the verbal “confrontation” and certainly was in on the fact that they were working an angle (sometimes you never recognize with king). as a huge jericho mark and someone who thought rourke was brilliant in the wrestler, i’m looking forward to seeing how this angle develops, but so away there hasn’t been a whole lot to make a note of c depress energetic near. part of the refractory is that it got off to such an unimaginative start, with rourke matter-of-factly saying in an vet at the sag awards that he had been asked to do wrestlemania and he wanted a chewing-out share of jericho. he might as fountain oblige said, “i’ve made a deal with wwe to do an angle in which i wrestle some gazabo named chris jericho at wrestlemania.” what made big wrestlemania celebrity angles work in the lifestyle is that they came across as spontaneous and Compre Viagra en España ardent. rourke’s contrived and uninspired red carpet speech and jericho’s rebuttal don’t quite compare to floyd mayweather bloodying esteemed show’s nose, bam bam bigelow giving a inscrutable shove to lawrence taylor, steve austin and mike tyson trying to get at each other in a uncultured pull-apart, and mr. t and hulk hogan brawling with roddy piper, paul orndorff and a bunch of strange york’s finest. the well-disposed news is that there’s still about nine and a half weeks (how’s that for slipping in a rourke reference) until wrestlemania, so there is lots of time exchange for rourke and jericho to dip up the intensity. if and when they do, it should make for some great television.

Your mouth is telling a story
Phil gingrey
Your mouth is telling a story, a story about you.
Most of us were taught as children that straight, pearly white teeth are the most desirable, that failure to brush your teeth might lead to not having them anymore, and that bad breath discourages popularity.
Today there is growing evidence indicating that the health of your teeth, gums and mouth is much more significant than merely being a social asset. Oral health directly relates to your overall health. There is a link between poor oral health and systemic diseases like diabetes in persons of all ages, and respiratory disease in the elderly. There may even be connections between poor oral health and other systemic conditions such as heart disease and premature, low birth-weight births. According to the Center for Disease Control Foundation, on their Web site www.cdc.gov, in the United States alone, more than 30,000 individuals are diagnosed with some form of oral cancer each year, making it the sixth most common cancer in the country. Oral cancers claim about 8,000 deaths each year, meaning that one person dies every hour from this form of disease.
While these statistics are disturbing, the good news is that there are several steps you can take to improve and maintain your oral health as well as practice preventive medicine.
1. Make mouth maintenance a daily routine of brushing your teeth and tongue, and flossing between teeth to dislodge dead cells and minute particles of food that can cause decay and bad breath. If you are a parent of small children, be sure to brush their teeth for them until they develop enough manual dexterity to clearly write their name. Holland dentist Kathleen Stratton recommends brushing after eating or snacking, preferably with toothpaste that contains fluoride, and flossing once daily. “If it is not possible to do that, then at least brush and floss at bedtime,” said Stratton. “Brushing your tongue is a good idea, and fluoride is helpful in maintaining strong teeth at any age.”
2. See your dentist twice annually to have your mouth and teeth examined for changes. Many times oral cancers and other medical issues are detected during a routine dental examination. Do not hesitate to consult with your dentist between visits if you develop symptoms or concerns. Stratton said she personally detected oral cancer in a patient once within the last year. “I always refer patients to a specialist or to their own physician when I see something that needs further attention,” she said.
3. Maintain a balanced diet and limit snacks. Every time you eat snacks containing sugars or starches, your teeth are exposed to acids produced by bacteria for 20 minutes. These acids may lead to the formation of cavities. If you snack, brush your teeth or chew sugarless gum afterward. Other foods that can naturally freshen the mouth are raw carrots and celery.
4. Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Tobacco increases your risk of oral cancer, gum disease and tooth decay. It also stains the teeth.
5. Minimize or avoid the use of alcohol. The risk for oral cancer increases with the amount of alcohol you consume, and increases even more if you both drink and use tobacco.
6. Examine your own mouth regularly, and be aware of changes that may be of concern. Dentists today are on the lookout f

Blonde’s Ambition Endangers Aspen Internet Dudefest [Hilary Rowland]
no one has been an internet microcelebrity longer than hilary rowland, who began her web career in 1995. but her hunger for attention could doom an april ski party for startup founders. oh no!
The Summit Series, an event for Internet entrepreneurs under the age of 36, is gearing up for a third get-together, this time in Aspen.
Rowland, the founder of Hilary Magazine and New Faces, a modeling agency, was one of the few women who went to the last Summit Series, a phenomenally ill-timed November junket in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, for some 60 Internet-industry second-raters who partied and drank in the midst of an economic meltdown. (One attendee, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, came straight from laying off 8 percent of his workforce.)
The event was supposed to be off the record, with no names released, no photos posted, and no mention made of the event’s existence. But Rowland, a very attractive blonde with a decidedly unattractive penchant for name-dropping, issued a press release and posted photos of the event for her vast number of Facebook friends. The summit’s stated mission was the exchange of ideas and the promotion of charitable works. Perhaps that happened! But if so, Rowland’s photographs did not document it:
Iowa
Among the people Rowland exposed: Drop.io founder Sam Lessin, the son of a Wall Street banker who took 19 of his closest friends to his dad’s vacation home in Cyprus, where they filmed a video of their frolics. The clip leaked and the event, promptly dubbed “Camp Cyprus,” became an infamous example of the Web 2.0 set’s irrational exuberance. In other words, Summit Series Mexico was only the second money-wasting event Lessin, whose startup is hardly setting the world on fire, got caught attending.
And that’s the problem that the Summit Series’ organizers are now facing. Rowland has proven that they can’t keep the event private, and the likes of Lessin surely don’t want to be caught out as wastrels a third time. Elliott Bisnow, the event’s founder, is also trying to cajole invitees to the four-day Aspen event to pay $3,000; past events were free save for airfare. (Here’s the full text of his emails, including an amusing followup to beg for ticket purchases.)
I suppose Bisnow could disinvite Rowland. But there will always be someone willing to barter privacy for a little taste of fame. Isn’t that what the Internet was made for? With all her experience, Rowland should know that better than anyone.

Aubrey Coleman Steps on Chase Budinger’s Face, Gets Ejected, Laughs [Duan!]
houston was leading arizona at the mckale center by a score of 63-51 when aubrey coleman clear to stomp on court budinger’s cope with. as it turns out, that’s barely the wakeup call the wildcats needed.
As you can see from the video his actions were pretty blatant, and Coleman didn’t seem all that upset with himself when he was sent back to the locker room. Arizona captured the momentum following the ejection of the Cougars’ second leading scorer, and Jordan Hill propelled the home team to a 96-90 comeback win in overtime. Hill scored 30 to pace Arizona who also got 23 from Nic Wise and 15 from the stompee himself.
In today’s college basketball action Louisville traveled to eighth ranked Syracuse and came away with a big 67-57 victory. The win moves Louisville to 15-3, and could mean a promotion into the top ten when the new rankings are released. It was the Cardinals 6th straight win, and their second over a top ten team in just over a week. Elsewhere 14th ranked Georgetown fell at Seton Hall while number 21 Minnesota picked up a win over Indiana.

(CNN) — Brazilian model Mariana Bridi da Costa, whose hands and feet were amputated in a bid to save her from a deadly and little-known illness, died early Saturday, two friends of the model told CNN.
Brazilian model Mariana Bridi da Costa died Saturday after undergoing multiple amputations.
"Unfortunately Mari couldn’t resist any longer. She passed away at 3 a.m. today," Henrique Fontes, executive director of Miss World Brazil, said in an e-mail to CNN.
Renato Lindgren, a friend of the model who runs a blog dedicated to her, confirmed da Costa’s death.
On his blog, Lindgren wrote that he and other friends were going to the hospital.
"On behalf of all the family, we are grateful for the support and the affection that the entire world has sent to us," he wrote.
Da Costa, 20, had fought a pernicious disease that has ravaged her body and forced doctors to perform the amputations and extract part of her stomach as well as both kidneys.
14 dead, power out as winds lash Europe
She had been breathing through a respirator, officials at Dorio Silva Hospital in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo said Friday.
Da Costa suffered from necrosis, or the fast deadening of tissue, caused by septicemia. Septicemia, triggered by a bacterial infection, causes insufficient blood flow that can lead to organ failure.
Da Costa first sought medical advice after feeling ill in late December. Hospital officials said she was transferred to Dorio Silva on January 3 in "septic shock," a serious medical condition caused by an inflammation.
Da Costa was first diagnosed as suffering a urinary tract infection. By the time the infection was detected, it had developed into septicemia.
Don’t Miss
Doctors decided to amputate first her hands and then her feet after the condition reduced the amount of oxygen being delivered to her limbs.
Just less than one month ago, da Costa was a healthy young woman well on the way to achieving her dream of becoming a world class model.
She placed sixth in the Miss Bikini International competition in China last year and took first place for the "Best in Swimsuit" category. In 2007 and 2008, she came fourth in the contest to become Brazil’s entrant for the Miss World pageant.
Thiago Simoes, da Costa’s fiance, said she was on her way to international stardom, signing with prominent model scout Dilson Stein, who brought Brazilian models, including Gisele Bundchen and Luize Altenhofen, to the world stage.
"All the agencies were very interested in knowing her. I know for a fact that they would have loved her because Mariana is beautiful," Stein told Brazil’s Tribuna newspaper.

Design dilemmas: Fabric choices, picking a professional
Question: I have a huge dilemma and need your help. I’ve wanted a chair for my den for a very long time. I shopped around and found the chair I wanted but never picked out the fabric. Well, guess what I received for Christmas? My very sweet husband surprised me with the chair. He picked out a fabric, and I am not loving it. My dilemma is what to do now. I know it’s not returnable, but I just don’t like the fabric.
Answer: That’s the problem with custom furniture; you get exactly what you pick out. The problem is you didn’t pick it out. And you don’t have a whole lot of choices. My first suggestion would be to purchase a really nice throw and drape that over the arm, then add a pillow for some interest. This will minimize the appearance of the chair because your eye will be drawn to the throw and pillow. Make sure both are items you really like and you’ll be happier with the overall look when you enter the room. Of course, there is always the option of re-upholstering, an added cost your husband may not be too happy with. For now, try the throw and pillow and good luck.
question: now that the holidays are over, i’m trying to put our house bankroll b reverse together. i am going room to margin and finding that i’m pooped of the look we have and would like to try something modish. i am not sure what instructing to go, so i requirement some virtuoso help. how should i go prevalent finding an core designer who will understand what i like?
Answer: The first thing you should do is ask friends, relatives, co-workers, etc., if they have ever used an interior designer. Much of our work comes from referrals. Once you have found two to three candidates, set up appointments and conduct “interviews.” Determine which one seems to be on the same wavelength as you are. Who do you feel most comfortable with? And who seems capable of designing for you in your style and taste.
One of the signs of a good designer is that although personally they have a specific style, they are able to interpret their clients needs and translate that into a beautiful room. Many people think hiring an interior designer is too costly, but we can save you from many costly mistakes, and in the end will save you money as opposed to wasting money. Good luck in your quest for a designer. Once you find the one that’s right for you, it will be a pleasant experience completing the job.
