Helen and Andi Laurence speak about their miracle baby boy
10:02am Wednesday 14th November 2012 in News By Mike Laycock, Chief reporter
A MOTHER who was told she would never conceive naturally has told how she wept tears of joy after giving birth to a baby boy.
Helen Laurence, 32, from the Leeman Road area of York, said it was only after she had returned home from York Hospital with baby Murphy that the enormity of what had happened struck her.
"I sat down on the edge of the bed and started crying, and said: 'You're so cute!'" she said.
"I was crying but it was happy tears. I couldn't believe that my body, which wouldn't work for me, had created something so perfect."
Her husband Andi, 37, a self-employed car restorer, said he too had had tears streaming down his face. "I was chuffed to bits. We are still on Cloud Nine," he said.
Helen, who suffers from ME, said she had been trying for a baby for seven years, and had been told she would never become pregnant without IVF treatment.
She had one unsuccessful course on the NHS and was unable to afford the £4,500 cost of going private, leaving her and Andi fearing they might never become parents, until Murphy was conceived naturally earlier this year.
The couple, whose infertility problems were exacerbated by Helen's chronic fatigue, said her pregnancy and labour had gone as well as they could have hoped, bearing in mind her condition.
"I suffered from terrible indigestion but otherwise the pregnancy went well," she said. "I think the hormones strengthened me, particularly during the second trimester when I had much more energy.
"People kept saying how well I looked and Andi said that if I glowed any more, we wouldn't need to put the lights on.
"I think the hormones are still helping now as I'm breast feeding, but it helps that he is a really good, laid-back baby.
"My labour was really hard, and the delivery had to be assisted. Andi and my sister said I was hard as nails to go through what I did."
She revealed that when the doctor arrived to assist in the final stages of the delivery at York Hospital, Helen was staggered to recognise him from her time undergoing IVF treatment at Seacroft Hospital, Leeds.
She said it turned out he was the same medic who had been involved in harvesting her eggs, who had subsequently moved to York Hospital.
"He was quite taken aback," she said. "He had been there at the start of it all and he was there at the end."

Mike Oxuge and mjr119 - don't be so rude. It might not be "newsworthy" to you, but it gives hope to other childless couples. You're so unbelievably ignorant. Hope no-one in your family/friends have to go through the same anguish.

Congratulations to them both. I tried for 6 years, and it's heartbreaking when you really want a child and it doesn't happen. Yet there are hundreds of teenagers, druggies and alcoholics popping them out without a care in the world, or the ability to care for them.

I think my comment demonstrates a good memory, without being disparaging, towards their great news.
Five months ago this story was reported with a focus on issues relating to their housing situation and took in all the factors mentioned in this piece.
It doesn't appear at all today.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Authorities say a West Virginia man tortured his wife and kept her in chains for a decade, treating her as his slave.
A criminal complaint says the 43-year-old victim was burned on her back and breasts with irons and frying pans, and her foot was smashed under farm equipment. She also allegedly delivered a stillborn child while in chains. Another infant survived.
Thirty-seven-year-old Peter Lizon of Leroy was in the South Central Regional Jail on $300,000 bond Wednesday. He's set to appear on a malicious wounding charge Friday in Jackson County Magistrate Court.
Jackson County Chief Deputy Tony Boggs says the victim has endured more torture than virtually any domestic violence victim he's ever seen.
Lizon's attorney wasn't immediately available for comment.

Traveling last winter when she started "coming down with something," Connie Crow resigned herself to being "miserable" for at least a week.
Crow anticipated all the classic cold and flu symptoms — cough, fever, body aches and sinus and chest congestion — before visiting licensed acupuncturist Nancy Burton, who prescribed Chinese herbs for the illness. Crow, 60, says she had never taken Chinese herbs or undergone acupuncture but soon was "sold" on the remedy.
Gan mao ling: kills viruses in initial stages and throughout illness, quickly alleviating symptoms if taken soon enough, every three to four hours during illness and for one to two days after symptoms are gone.
Yin chiao: kills viruses with symptoms of more fever than chills, sore throat, irritability, yellow or colored mucus and red face, cheeks, tongue or lips. Take every three to four hours during illness and for one to two days after symptoms are gone
Bi yan pian: can be combined with one of the above formulas for colds, flu or allergies with clear or white nasal discharge or postnasal drip. Take every three to four hours as needed.
Chuan xin lian: can be combined with one of the above formulas; herbal antibiotic for colored mucus or phlegm. Take every three to four hours as needed during illness and three times per day for one day after symptoms are gone.
Jade screen: prevents colds and flu. Take once per day during cold and flu season. Increase to two times per day if in contact with cold and flu sufferers, three times per day if a member of the household has cold or flu. May be taken year-round to boost immune system.
Remedies are available in capsule form (Plum Flower brand) at health-food and supplements stores, including Ashland Food Co-op and Shop 'N' Kart, both in Ashland. Liquid formulas are available from licensed acupuncturists.
— Source: Nancy Burton, licensed acupuncturist and Oriental medicine practitioner.
"I was up and around in three days, and I was absolutely well in five," says Crow, an Ashland resident. "The Western medicine response is you just either live through it or you go on Sudafed."
Too often, doctors prescribe antibiotics for cold and flu symptoms, says Burton. Whereas antibiotic drugs work only against bacteria, many Chinese herbal remedies attack viruses, say local, licensed practitioners of Oriental medicine. And although many Americans have never heard of the ancient formulas, the more common ones are available in capsule form at local health-food and supplements stores, even well-stocked grocery stores.
"If people initially know what to do, they don't have to suffer with colds and flus," says Burton, whose practice, Reclaiming Our Health, is housed at Morningstar Healing Arts in Ashland.
"The Eastern concept of health is more preventative," she says. "You don't want the body too hot or too cold or too dry — too much energy or not enough energy."
For millennia, the Chinese have practiced a traditional form of medicine based on the body's energy — including yin-yang and the meridian network — the five elements and six "excesses" that influence the body, as well as the condition of the organs and blood and a person's overall constitution. In this system, symptoms of illness are treated with herbs, acupuncture, diet and other methods, regardless of the infectious agent to blame.
"Colds and flus in traditional Chinese medicine are the same thing," says Burton. "They've been treating (them) very effectively for centuries."
Unlike mainstream single-herb supplements, Chinese formulas on average contain five to 13 herbs that all work together, say practitioners. They consist of the primary herb — also known as the "emperor" — assisting, or "minister," herbs and herbs that "guide" and "harmonize," says Burton. Just as symptoms of illness can present a complex picture, Chinese herbal formulas are likewise multifaceted and concocted in myriad variations, say practitioners. One person's symptoms can have numerous remedies.
"There is hundreds of combinations and permutations," says Teresa Bresnan, a Medford-based practitioner of Oriental medicine. "We use a team of herbs."
Cinnamon and ginger are common components of some formulas prescribed for colds and flus. Both warm the body when "cold" symptoms, such as chills and body aches, are present. To alleviate fever, "cooling" formulas containing mint and honeysuckle may be prescribed, says Bresnan. If illnesses progress, numerous herbs can target buildup in the mucus membranes.
"There's formulas that specifically moisten the lungs and help get that up and out," says Burton, explaining that traditional Chinese medicine assigns much more importance to the body's production of mucus and phlegm than Western medicine.
"Dampness and phlegm is at the basis of so many health problems."
Also a chief culprit is poor diet, say Burton and Bresnan. Both practitioners prescribe "healing" foods along with herbs. Burton advocates vegetables while Bresnan favors broths made from organic bones and juices from greens. Both advise against consuming dairy — a major contributor to excess mucus — and sugar.
Because processed foods are difficult to digest, they lure white blood cells from their main task of guarding against pathogens, says Burton. It's no coincidence, she adds, that the rush on treatment for colds and flus coincides with holiday excesses.
"People start eating more comfort foods, more sweets ... which impair the immune system. Every day has become a feast day."
Impaired gastrointestinal function also severely compromises the immune system because about 80 percent of the body's lymph nodes are in the gut, says Bresnan. She touts unpasteurized sauerkraut and the fermented tea kombucha for replacing beneficial bacteria.
Burton notes that, contrary to the effect of antibiotic drugs, Chinese herbal remedies don't disrupt the body's healthy balance of bacteria. However, a medical professional should always be consulted, she says, for persistent symptoms of bacterial infection, such as dark-colored mucus and phlegm.
Both practitioners recommend the herbal formula "jade screen" to support the immune system and prevent illness all year, particularly in winter. Bresnan combines it and other remedies with echinacea, known to increase production of white blood cells, she says, and clinically effective despite recent studies suggesting otherwise.
"I just keep so many people healthy on echinacea."
Because not all herbs are high-quality, including some used in studies, she counsels clients to obtain formulas from a licensed practitioner rather than over the counter. A typical prescription costs about $40, she says.
"You go to Chinatown, you don't know what you're getting," she says. "We're making sure that they are very clean and pure."

Demps Set to Run in Olympics
Published August 9th, 2012
Loading Video...
LONDON - Jeff Demps thought his Olympic dreams were shot once he missed US qualifications in the 100-meter dash back in late June.
The Florida speedster got a reprieve for Team USA when Mike Rogers backed out after breaking his foot just before the start of the London Summer Games.
Now the former Gator football star, who thought he'd be the team's biggest cheerleader, will suit up to hopefully be the team's biggest spark out of the blocks.
Demps will compete in the lead leg of the men's preliminary 4x100m relay on Friday.
Demps has experience in the event, racing with the baton in the indoor and outdoor seasons at UF.

Did Biden hang State out to dry at the debate?
- By Garance Franke-Ruta

- October 12, 2012
- Leave a comment
Everyone loves Hillary Clinton these days. She's got an approval rating way higher than that of Joe Biden or of President Obama, who can barely muster 50 percent on a good day.
But what if the most politically significant foreign-policy failure of Obama's presidency is actually due to a failure of the diplomatic-security strategy at the Clinton-run State Department?
That's certainly what all the evidence suggests.
Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary for international programs at the State Department's Bureau of Diplomat Security, told a House committee Wednesday that she personally rejected a request for additional diplomatic security in Libya, though what she rejected was not a request for Marines (as Paul Ryan mistakenly appeared to suggest during in the vice presidential debate last night in Kentucky) but extending the presence of a different kind of military personnel specifically detailed to the State Department, asForeign Policy's Josh Rogin makes clear. As well, the forces were requested for the U.S.'s Tripoli outpost, not the satellite consulate in Benghazi U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens so fatefully was visiting on September 11. The U.S. Embassy to Libya is based in Tripoli, the nation's capital.

Finally! A commentary devoted to understanding the New Testament from a free grace perspective, one that boldly addresses the passages seeming to deny eternal security, and contradict justification by faith alone!
The Grace New Testament Commentary was written over the course of twenty years by fourteen biblical scholars who have devoted their lives to studying and teaching the Word of God. The aim of their work being to aid the Body of Christ in the last days until Christ returns by providing it with a readable, enlightening, and challenging commentary on the New Testament.
The Grace New Testament Commentary provides explanation of all of the difficult New Testament texts, including the ones that seem to deny eternal security, ones that seem to contradict justification by faith alone, and ones that seem to condition kingdom entrance upon perseverance.

It sure looks like the battle of the axe will be for much more than bragging rights this year. Sherman and Denison are both 4-0 in district, and both have cleared perhaps their biggest hurdle in Frisco Wakeland. Is it too early to start calling this the district title game? Maybe, but don't be surprised if it ends up that way.
Now for the important question... who wins the axe and the district this year? Denison was the overwhelming choice at the beginning of the season. But after what Sherman did to Wakeland last week, it kind of makes you think they've got something going now. Could be another classic.

I had a mortgage denied last week. Both were loans that should have been made with little effort previously.
Our borrower was a waitress, that was denied because her debt ratio was considered too high. She was purchasing a home for $180,000, putting 20% down. Even though we had automated approval, with a 49% debt ratio the lender said no. Even though the lender knew that some of her tips were unreported income, they considered the loan too risky.
We had a couple of choices, put more money down, which she had but didn't want to do, so I moved the loan to another lender that would do the loan, but the rate would be an 1/8 percent higher or an additional $9 per month.
Both lenders sell their conventional loan to Fannie Mae, but not every lender is willing to take certain risks, because of their history or buy back agreements.
We are fortunate that we have numerous options for our clients.

Men arrested in connection with PC Andrew Duncan's death charged with unrelated firearms and drugs offences
Updated 4:23pm Wednesday 25th September 2013 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Two of the men arrested in connection with the death of traffic officer PC Andrew Duncan have been charged with unrelated offences including possession of a firearm.
Layne Campbell Chambers, 19, of Chestnut Close, Carshalton, and Danny Back, 23, of Crispin Crescent, Croydon, were arrested on Monday in connection with the hit-and-run on PC Duncan in Reigate Avenue, Sutton, in the early hours of Friday morning.
They have since been charged with possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition and possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply and are due to appear in front of Camberwell Green magistrates today.
They have not been charged in relation to the hit-and-run that resulted in PC Duncan, from East Molesey, dying on Sunday.
Gary Cody, 25, of Holland Road, South Norwood, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, failing to report an accident and driving without insurance in relation to PC Duncan's death and will appear at Kingston Crown Court on October 7.

The two suspects who police said admitted to killing 55-year-old Robert Eader appeared in Clark County Circuit Court No. 1 on Thursday.
James L. Washington, 35, and Dana R. Eisenback, 25, made their initial appearance in court for what Jeffersonville Police Department officials described as a drug deal that went wrong.
According to police, Washington and Eisenback went to Eader's apartment on the 300 block of Spring Street early Monday morning to deal him cocaine. When the transaction occurred, Washington attempted to steal the money Eader was holding and they got into a physical confrontation. Eader was stabbed at least three times during the struggle, with wounds to his chest and throat.
Immediately after the murder, the pair fled the city and went to Poplar Bluff, Mo., but returned to the area to turn themselves in. Police caught the two at Thorton's gas station at 10th Street and Allison Lane at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
When Eisenback faced the charges Thursday, she started crying and said she couldn't breathe as the judge read out the charges against her, according to a report from newsgathering partner WLKY-TV
According to Clark County Court records, Eisenback faces charges of murder [aiding, inducing, or causing an offense] and robbery resulting in bodily injury, a class B felony.
Washington faces charges of murder and robbery resulting in bodily injury, a class B felony.
Their next appearance in court is scheduled for Feb. 7, when they will have a pretrial conference. A jury trial is tentatively scheduled for May.

As the state's controversial Voter ID law began its latest judicial review Tuesday, Montgomery County said it was preparing to train the county's poll workers to recognize and accept a new county-issued form of identification that it expects to begin distributing to registered voters next week.
Exploiting an apparent loophole in the wording of the law that allows "care facilities" to distribute valid photo identification, the county plans to issue ID cards to any eligible county resident under the auspices of the Parkhouse nursing care facility in Upper Providence Township.
Service locations, documentation requirements, and other specific implementation details of the county's plan are expected later this week, but one area civic group urged voters to stick with PennDOT-issued identification, claiming that the Parkhouse-issued IDs and other forms of identification "are more likely to be challenged by poll workers" despite technically meeting the requirements of the law.
Group: County ID could contribute to "chaos" at polls on Election Day
The Philadelphia-based Committee of Seventy, a self-described non-partisan organization that says it "champions better government," said poll workers have "already been trained by their respective counties, or by poll watchers representing candidates," and that the use of new IDs announced by authorities in Montgomery and Allegheny counties could cause "chaos" on Election Day.
A spokesperson for Montgomery County disagreed, saying the county's poll workers would be ready to accept the new IDs on Nov. 6.
"Our voter services department has scheduled 19 trainings for our poll workers and they will be well aware of what IDs are acceptable, and one of those will be the Parkhouse-issued ID," county communications chief Frank X. Custer said via email. "We are moving full speed ahead to implement our plan. These cards will be legal, and the Corbett Administration agrees."
PennDOT, Department of State slash documentation requirements
For its part, PennDOT and the Pa. Department of State on Tuesday announced that visitors to PennDOT driver license centers would now be able to obtain voting-only ID cards with almost no documentation in hand.
To obtain a DOS-issued identification card, residents now only need to provide their name, date of birth, Social Security number, and an address. They do not need to provide proof of residence, the agencies said.
While the applicant waits, PennDOT will confirm with the DOS that her or she is a registered voter, at which point he or she will receive identification.
"We believe these updates to our process will meet the Supreme Court standard that voter ID cards be liberally accessible," Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele said in a statement distributed to the media.
The DOS-issued identification is only suitable for use at the polls and can not be used for general identification purposes, PennDOT Secretary Barry Schoch said.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson will likely take the revised PennDOT and DOS requirements into consideration as he follows the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's instructions to block implementation of the Voter ID law if he determines that voters are unable to easily obtain suitable identification or are otherwise being disenfranchised.
Simpson must issue a ruling by Oct. 2.

Taking cues from the Bayer Veterinary Care Usage Study, one veterinarian has built a practice that's centered on pet owner needs.
Don't let clients with older adopted pets feel lost at sea in your veterinary practice. Throw them a line and help them feel just as welcome as clients with younger pets do.
Your preventive pitch may be perfect, but some new veterinary client education tools could press more pet owners to do the right thing and keep up with your recommendations.
You don't need a degree in nutrition to help veterinary clients make good pet food choices. All it takes is the desire to learn and a willingness to start the conversation with clients.
If you hear that a shelter is telling new pet owners to ignore the veterinarian, don't fly into a rage—go to the source for answers.
Do good for pets and pet owners, and maintain your bottom line with smart relationships with rescue groups and shelters.

The weekly "Moral Monday" protests ended when the General Assembly left town. But protesters return this week, thanks to two coincidental events that make it hard for them to pass up: Monday is Labor Day and Tuesday is a special veto session of the legislature.
Consequently, the NAACP, the state chapter of the AFL-CIO and the Farm Labor Organizing Committee will have a news conference Monday that the Rev. William Barber II of the NAACP calls the 16th installment of the Monday protests. Expect to hear the worker point of view on earned income taxes, unemployment and other legislation.
That's at 11 a.m. at the AFL-CIO office on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. Organizers there will also announce "an action" planned for Tuesday, when lawmakers return to town to consider the governor's veto of bills on immigration and drug testing welfare recipients.
Moeser's mistaken
UNC School of the Arts interim Chancellor James Moeser last week thanked State Auditor Beth Wood for uncovering problems with an employee who had misappropriated a laptop computer for her son's personal use. He also promised new procedures to prevent such state property misuse in the future.
"We believe that the fact that we have had only one financial audit finding over the last 22 years validates UNCSA's serious efforts toward ensuring properly functioning internal controls," Moeser wrote to Wood.
Of course, Moeser, the former UNC-Chapel Hill chancellor, is a short timer at the public arts conservatory in Winston-Salem. He's been the interim leader for just a month. So Dome can forgive him for not remembering to mention UNCSA's past problems on investigative audits.
UNCSA has been slapped in two previous investigative audits in the past decade. In 2003, an audit found that the school did not follow surplus property policy during a dispute with a contractor. In 2004, an audit tracked irregular financial transactions through the school and its foundation. The investigation found that thousands of dollars were diverted to secret accounts and spent on leases of luxury vehicles and country club dues.
The former auditor, the late Ralph Campbell, minced no words when he compared the school's 2004 actions to "the debacle at Enron where money was shuffled between related entities to avoid detection."
Kudos for benefits changes
The cuts in unemployment benefits have not been popular, and have been one of the focuses of the Moral Monday protests.
But now the principal authors are getting some love. Rep. Julia Howard of Mocksville and Sen. Bob Rucho of Charlotte, both Republicans, have been named the 2013 recipients of the Unemployment Insurance Integrity Award given by the UWC – Strategic Services on Unemployment & Workers Compensation. UWC is a national association that represents the business community on unemployment insurance and workers' compensation issues.
"The North Carolina Chamber and its members commend the leadership of Rep. Howard and Sen. Rucho in reforming our state's broke and broken unemployment system," said Lew Ebert, chamber president. "We are pleased to see them be recognized for their hard work in shifting our focus from unemployment to re-employment."
The legislature passed a bill early in the session that cut benefits to unemployed workers and slightly increased unemployment taxes on employers. Legislators said the changes were needed to deal with what was then a $2.5 billion federal debt on unemployment insurance.

Did the Media Focus Too Much on Race During the Zimmerman Trial?
Did the media overplay the role of race in the trial of George Zimmerman?
Protesters block traffic in Washington, D.C. in reaction to George Zimmerman's acquittal Saturday night.
From the moment the death of Trayvon Marin was seized on by the media, race was reported as central to the tragedy. Trayvon Martin was described as the 17-year-old "black male" and George Zimmerman as the 29-year-old "white hispanic."
There were no witnesses to the murder, but Zimmerman said, in somewhat contradictory accounts, that he was attacked by Martin. According to Florida's "stand your ground law," if he felt as if he were in serious danger of bodily harm, he could act in self-defense. This lack of hard evidence or eyewitness accounts gave pundits plenty of leeway to politicize the issue. The outcome of this particular trial was frequently reported as representative of the general state of race relations in the U.S.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Should People Be Allowed to Carry Guns Openly?]
The National Review's John Fund criticized how the prosecutor's actions were inappropriate and played into the hands of the media:
If a criminal-justice system can be hijacked for political purposes, it can also be misused in other cases and at other times. Of course, it was important to thoroughly review Trayvon Martin's death. But allowing politically correct prosecutors to cross bright lines limiting their behavior only politicizes our system and helps no one except demagogues and cable-TV talking heads in search of ratings.
MSNBC's Al Sharpton, though, continued to press the race issue:
What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime ... and be killed and someone can claim self-defense ... We had to march to even get a trial and even at trial, when he's exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
U.S. New's Peter Roff argued in his column today that the acquittal was, in fact, the result of proper colorblind proceedings in the courtroom. Furthermore, he criticized President Obama for aggravating public opinion from the start:
It was Obama who, in the earliest moments of the case, said if he had a son he would look like Trayvon. It's not clear what that means unless it was a thinly-disguised attempt to upend the 2012 presidential campaign in Florida on the issue of race. Unfortunately, the president neglected to add whether if he had a son he would have behaved like Trayvon Martin
After nearly 450,000 people signed an online NCAA petition, the Justice Department said it is considering opening a civil rights case against Zimmerman.

A national outcry erupted after a well-liked Boy Scout camp counselor was fired by the Golden State Empire Council, the authority that presides over Boy Scouts in Northern California.
Tim Griffin, 22, believes he was wrongfully terminated for his sexual orientation, although the Council denies any relation to the national ban on openly gay scouts and leaders.
In protest, Griffin started an online petition with Change.org, an online social action platform, that collected nearly 80,000 signatures. On Tuesday, Griffin presented the petition to the council stating, "Regardless of what the council gives as reasoning for my removal, the overwhelming show of solidarity at today's delivery tells quite a different story."
The Boy Scouts of America as a national organization has been the subject of controversy for its ban on accepting gay scouts and scout leaders.
The policy has drawn condemnation from both sides of the political aisle including President Obama and Governor Romney.
Was the Golden State Empire Council wrong in terminating Griffin? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

---- — SCHROON LAKE — Kyle McCarthy scored Clinton Community College's first four goals Wednesday as the Cougars rolled to a 6-1 victory over Word of Life in men's soccer.
McCarthy tallied three goals in the first half to give the Cougars a 3-1 lead. Luke Theis scored the Word of Life goal.
McCarthy, Kaleb Snide and Zach Brockway then all scored in the second half to help Clinton pull away. Brockway also had assists on two of McCarthy's goals.
Adam Goldfarb made five saves in net for the Cougars, who held a 17-8 advantage in shots.
"We were pretty much able to dominate the game," Clinton coach Gene Bushey said. "We played well defensively and we were able to spread the field well offensively. It was a good win for us heading into Monday's game at North Country Community College."
The Cougars close out their season in the 3:30 p.m. contest in Saranac Lake.
Clinton C.C. 6, Word of Life 1
Clinton C.C. 3 3 — 0
Word of Life 1 0 — 1
First half- 1, CCC, McCarthy, 9:19. 2, CCC, McCarthy (Brockway), 23:44. 3, WOL, Theis, 37:27. 4, CCC, McCarthy (Follett), 43:21.

SARANAC LAKE — All season long, the Clinton Community College women's soccer team has struggled to score goals.
The Cougars, however, scored one early Wednesday against North Country Community College.
But the Saints tallied two goals in the first three minutes of the second half and recorded a 2-1 victory in the Cougars' final game of the season.
Kenna Agoney gave Clinton the lead off a rebound and scramble with 12:13 gone in the game.
It remained 1-0 the rest of the way.
But Chelsea Lafountain pulled North Country even with 46 seconds gone in the second stanza and Epril Nossent then scored the game-winning goal shortly after at the 2:16 mark.
"It was our seniors' last game and we came out on fire," Clinton assistant coach Gena Rosenbaum said. "We finally got that first goal in a game and we were frustrating them by putting on some pressure.
"We had the momentum in the first half, but then they came out on fire to begin the second half. They were able to set the tone."
Emily Lapage made two saves in the North Country nets and Courtney Backus stopped 10 shots for Clinton, which was outshot by a 20-5 margin.
"I was proud with the way our girls played today," Rosenbaum said. "We had only 12 players available and one of them got hurt in the second half. But even though we fell behind, 2-1, the girls stayed in there and gave their best."
North Country C.C. 2, Clinton C.C. 1
Clinton C.C. 1 0 — 1
N Country C.C. 0 2 — 2
First half- 1, CCC, Agoney (Lamora), 12:13.

BackTrack 5 "revolution" Rolls Out
BackTrack, an Ubuntu-based penetration-testing distribution, offers "major improvements" over previous releases, including support for 32- and 64-bit architectures, KDE 4, Gnome, and Fluxbox.
Based on Ubuntu Lucid LTS and kernel 2.6.38, the new BackTrack is fully open source and GPL-compliant.
"Perhaps most importantly BackTrack 5 'revolution' will be our first release to include full source code in its repositories," says a March update on the BackTrack blog. "This is a big thing for us, as it officially joins us to the open-source community and clears up any licensing issues which were present in BackTrack 4."
Tutorials on the site explain how users can download and install BackTrack, or boot it from a Live DVD or thumbdrive.

Clippers Vs. Pistons Game Preview
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Dec 16 2012 9:34PM
An all-around effort has the Los Angeles Clippers on the brink of a historic winning streak.
That doesn't appear likely to end on Monday when they visit the Detroit Pistons, who will try to avoid their fifth straight loss.
Los Angeles (17-6) continued to play well at both ends Saturday night in a 111-85 win at Milwaukee that gave the team its ninth consecutive victory.
It's the longest winning streak for the franchise since the Buffalo Braves captured 11 in a row during the 1974-75 season.
"It's not easy to win in this league but I'm pleased," coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We're finding different ways to win."
Del Negro's club posted its third-highest field-goal percentage of the season (53.7) against Milwaukee after shooting 45.1 percent from the floor over its previous three contests.
While the Clippers were averaging 99.5 points before their winning streak, they've been even more productive with 106.4 during the recent surge.
The Pacific Division leaders have received key contributions throughout the rotation. Reserve Matt Barnes, who scored 21 on Saturday, has averaged 18.0 points over his last three games.
Los Angeles' bench is the league's second-highest scoring (42.1 points per game).
"We are definitely super-talented and our bench helps us win a lot of games," said center DeAndre Jordan, who had 15 points and 11 boards against the Bucks. "If we can stay healthy and continue to do what we are doing, we'll be OK."
Blake Griffin kept the team rolling with 18 points and 11 rebounds against the Bucks, giving him an average of 20.3 and 9.1 during the winning streak.
Griffin has averaged 19.7 points and 15.3 boards versus Detroit in three career meetings.
Behind him, the Clippers rank second in the league in the paint (48.0 points per game) after scoring 66 on Saturday.
They have a chance to continue their dominance against the Pistons, who sit near the bottom of the league in points allowed in the paint (43.5 per game).
Playing a third game in four nights, Detroit (7-19) looks for only its third win in December after losing 88-77 to Indiana on Saturday night.
"We can't use fatigue as an excuse because every team does the same thing," reserve center Andre Drummond said after finishing with 11 points and nine rebounds.
Greg Monroe was one of the bright spots with 18 points and eight rebounds for the Pistons, who dropped their fourth straight at home.
Monroe, the team's scoring leader at 15.2 points per game, had 23 and 15 rebounds in Detroit's only meeting against the Clippers in 2011-12, but that effort wasn't enough as Los Angeles rallied to win 87-83 in overtime behind Chris Paul's 19 points and 15 assists.
Guards Rodney Stuckey and Brandon Knight combined for 13 points on 4 of 22 shooting in that loss, but they're playing well of late. Stuckey has scored 17.3 points per game in his last seven, while Knight has averaged 21.5 in his past six.
The Pistons, however, shot just 38.6 percent from the field against the Pacers and have made 40.1 percent during their four-game losing streak. Those struggles could continue against a Los Angeles team that has limited its opponents to 39.5 percent from the field in the last four games.
The Clippers have won four of their last five against Detroit.
This will be a easy win.
Short trip, a day off and a struggling team... it's blue collar/hardhat/lunchpail time again... just get of there with the 'W'.
Lets make it 4 on the road and 10 heading home.
Possible 10 game winning streak... The Los Angeles Clippers... I need someone to pinch me because I know I've been in bed sleeping, having wonderful dreams.
Wow, going for our 10th straight win! It seems lately there is really nothing to analyze or talk about with this team, these guys are just doing everything right. Kinda feels weird lol. Anyways, lets go Clippers! The team already knows what they need to do.
Front court should get out there and do work! Pistons front court is far overmatched here. Their backcourt can give us some trouble, we shouldn't sleep on them.
Let's go Clips. Let win this!
2day lets get our 10th win. I dont see another loss until maybe Boston at home or @ utah. December will be an excellent month for us.
^ Dare we hope for an undefeated December?
Tough matchups are as following: Boston, Denver, Utah at HOME, that's about it.
10 games tonight, count on it. This team is dialed in, pretty clear after the beating they gave the Bucks and shutting down Jennings and Ellis.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got 12 games to break the Buffalo record before tripping, next games are NOH (revenge) and Sac. Hell at this point anything less than 13 before losing to Denver would be a disappointment, but we really should win it out until probably the Utah road game... 15 win streak! Let's do it Clips!
You forgot Utah on the road. That will be our toughest game for the rest of this month.
I think Greg Monroe is going to get DJ in foul trouble, and watch out for Singler.
The Orange County Register says EBled will play tonight. That is good, because this could be a trap game without him. We have 5 players on our team who are having career seasons, which is saying a lot, since those 5 players are probably in our 7 best. BG, DJ, Bledsoe, Barnes and Crawford are the players I am speaking of having career seasons. Fortunately we have a good winning culture against the Pistons, so with Bledsoe healthy and good production from BG and DJ, we should be ok. (side note: we are #2 for paint production, and the Pistons defense and paint points are atrocious, good match for us).
Also, Lamar is playing well the past 10 games. He has averaged 5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and a steal. This is pretty good considering he plays only 21 mins and only gets 2 fouls per game.
Odom might not be 100% yet, but he is playing the minimum needed for us to benefit from him, and he will only get better!
we should be able to win this easily
We should hit 12 wins at least. Tonight should be a spanking. We play a tired team (3 of 4 nights) which is losing. We've had rest, and short trip. We are hot, they are cold.
Wednesday back at home against NO.... revenge factor... 11... Friday against Kings... 12... I am not as scared of Celtics at home as Utah on the road. We beat them a few weeks ago in Utah, very much a winnable game... Undefeated December would get us cover of S.I. is my guess
Let's try to keep Stuckey under 20 points. If we can do that and limit their three-point shooting, we have a chance to win.
Hoping that CP3 will come out aggressive like he did against the Bucks. He pretty much set the tone in those first 5 minutes of the game.
Almost game time lets get em clips
Here we go!
a double digit win streak would be sweet!
blake shooting better than Green and Butler
damn that was sad on both ends
Willie Green with the vicious block
paul had a lob there
Why cant chris do that more?
Willie Green playing aggressively in front of his home town
Willie cant play... Sorry willie
Willie Greene sucks.
I have a feeling this going to be another one of those games, where our starters will build up only a moderate to slight lead and the bench will create the separation.
Green and Butler are useless
Chris needs to be more aggressive.
Blake got dizzy with the spin move
LOl wide open and he missed.
Blake with a whurling dervish...Oh wait never mind
See this is when starting Willie Green bites you in the ass and what I talked about that you guys were offended by. Had our better players that can actually hit open shots or get defensive stops been in we wouldn't be down. We can't afford to give bad teams breathing room like this.
come on team being sloppy
what have i missed so far? any highlights?
hahaha what a flop
Butler struggling
Blake getting physical...
Not the best first quarter lot of missed open looks
Fire Vinny
Wow, c'mon Bledsoe! The second unit scrubs easily stole that ball. Imagine if he was starting? Hmmmmm...
Vinny back to being a bonehead. Why is Barnes not in yet despite dominating during this win streak!? He should be the first player in with the way Butler is struggling last 10 games. I don't understand the rotations.
We are shooting terribly
Vinny doesnt his own rotations. Get the guy the deepest team in the league and make it hard for him to screw it up

I am still waiting on my subs to get here and because of x-mas shipping they won't be here for a while I assume. I really wanna get started on the box, so can anyone tell me what the outside diameter of the Mom 8" sub is? Thanks in advance!

Working as a news producer in local television, I fielded far too many phone calls and emails about missing children, runaways, and kidnappings. The conversations with parents and police were always heart wrenching. And perhaps one of the most difficult parts was trying to help find the child by broadcasting the story – but not having a current picture of the kid so people could help find him or her.
This coming weekend, Carter Chevrolet and Mazda of Manchester are sponsoring "Operation Kid Safe." We're flying in a team to host this event at NO CHARGE to you and your family. Here's how it works:
Operation Kid Safe captures your child's picture and fingerprints using a digital video capture device, digital ink-less fingerprint capture device and specialized software. The captured data is assembled and a quality 8.5" x 11" printout is
given to the parent. The parent can use the printout they receive to provide to law enforcement anywhere in the world to instantly aid in an investigation.
No database or records of your kids are kept – the only record of the visit goes home with you, the parents.
The event takes place Saturday, September 15t from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mazda of Manchester (80 Oakland Street), and Sunday, September 16 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m/ at Carter Chevrolet (1229 Main Street).
More than 2,000 children are reported missing every DAY in the United States. Let Carter of Manchester help protect your family.
Kyle S. Reyes is Director of Marketing for Carter Chevrolet and Mazda of Manchester.

NEW CANAAN: "I would not have traded being home with my children for anything in the world. I was able to volunteer in the community, at church and in their schools. I'm not saying that working moms are doing anything wrong, I admire them for being able to juggle so much and still be great parents. As a stay-at-home mom, I never minded lending a helping hand to a mom who had to work, perhaps by driving their kids to or from an activity, or any other way that I could. We are a community and we all need to support each other. Those working moms were perhaps able to contribute more to the community in terms of money, and I gave my time. It's a balance for the community, we should all respect either choice." Four Jacks wrote this in response to a post by "Local Voices" blogger Dr. Laurel Schwartz about

Take elective units from another faculty
Non-Arts electives
Most single degrees allow you to complete a specified number of credit points from another faculty. These are your elective units.
The number of elective units differs between courses. For example, in the Bachelor of Arts you have 48 points of elective units whereas in the Bachelor of Arts (Languages) there is a maximum of 24 points of elective units.
Your course description and course map will include information on any elective units in your degree. Make sure you check these before enrolling in units offered by another faculty.
Remember it is not possible to take electives from another faculty in a double degree.
Psychology and Visual Culture
These areas of study are taught by other faculties but count as Arts units.
This means you can major in either Psychology* or Visual Culture and it will count towards the Arts component of your degree.
Psychology: This is managed by Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences
Visual culture: This is managed by Art and Design
*You cannot study psychology in the Bachelor of Letters
Where to find unit information
Further information is also available in the University Handbook section for each faculty. The following faculties allow Arts students to take units:
Faculty of Business and Economics
Faculty of Information Technology
Before you enrol in a unit offered by another faculty check that you meet any pre-requisite or co-requisite requirements listed in the University Handbook entry for the unit.
In the university handbook you must also read the section: Units available to arts students from other faculties as non-arts units

MANCHESTER, N.H. --- Greg Osborne capped off a big week with two goals and two assists and Ben Grandjean made 45 saves in goal to power the Colby College men's hockey team to a 7-3 victory over Saint Anselm College on Saturday.
Osborne had six goals and three assists in a 2-1 week for the Mules (5-4-2). He leads Colby in scoring this year with 11 goals and six assists for 17 points and now has 81 career points (38 goals, 43 assists).
Grandjean also was solid with a shutout of Curry on Tuesday, a tough 2-1 loss at New England College on Friday and then the 45-save effort against Saint Anselm (4-5-1).
Colby scored all seven of its goals in the final 10 minutes of periods, including six of the seven in the final three minutes.
With the Hawks up 1-0, Mike Butler tallied at 17:42 of the first period and was followed by Matt Strickland scoring at 19:05 to help the Mules take a 2-1 edge into intermission.
Saint Anselm managed to tie the game in the second period at 9:54, but T.J. Kelley put Colby up for good with a goal at 11:33. Patrick Rutherford got the eventual game-winning goal at 18:00 and Osborne got his first goal of the game a minute later for a 5-2 lead after two periods.
The final three goals all happened in the final 2:07 of the third period. Derek Evjenth scored at 17:53 for the Hawks, but Greg Valenski and Osborne added unassisted goals in the final 1:56 of the game.

Volume 10Issue 4December 1998
In the 1880s to about 1900, many Native Americans were held in army posts while being moved on to reservations.
For something to do,tribal members used military ledgers and crayons to draw battle scenes.
Ledger drawing now refers to a particular style of Native American art.
"It has a flat kind of look," says Walter Fleming, a professor of Native American Studies at MSU.
"That's the traditional representation of warriors and horses you'd find on tepee covers, tepee liners
and clothing.
They extended [those images] onto ledgers with crayons instead of with paint."
Sometime next year, Ledger drawings and other Native American art and photographs
from five collections in Montana will be
available to anyone with Internet access.
The project will digitize images from the MSU-Bozeman libraries, the Museum of the Rockies,
MSU-Northern, MSU-Billings and Little Big Horn College on the Crow Indian Reservation.
"I had this idea for some time, but it was a matter of funding and staff time," said
project organizer and MSU librarian Elaine Peterson. "Plus, the library has no photo curator."
She solved the funding problem by applying for a "national leadership" grant from the new
Institute of Museum and Library Services. Its a cooperative project with the Museum of the Rockies,
which brought museum photo curator Steve Jackson on board.Hell assess the date and quality of images,
look at different formats and oversee the scanning.
Project organizers say they see two primary uses for a digital collection. One is scholarly.
A researcher in Italy interested in artwork of the Northern Cheyenne wont have to travel to
Montana to see it, said Peterson.
The other use is tribal,said Fleming, who's also a part of the project. Members can
use the images to help restore lost cultural elements. In addition, the digital medium
would be a way of protecting the works from wear and tear.
"A lot of images are in a rare book room are fragile, so its difficult
to transport them," said Peterson.
Between 1,500 and 2,000images, mostly photographs, will be included to start,
said Jackson. All montana tribes will be represented in the database that will
include text and an index. Users will be able to search for pictures of elk teeth
dresses, for example.
Photographs of sacred religious articles or of ceremonies where sacred objects
are used wont be included, said Fleming. An advisory committee with tribal
representatives will develop cultural guidelines to decide what goes into
the collection, he said.
The grant includes training for tribal college librarians who visit the
Bozeman campus every summer for professional development with librarian
Kathy Kaya. Tribal colleges usually have a museum or archives in addition
to a library, and the librarians may want to contribute images to the MSU
database or build their own, said Peterson.

After 73 years in business, Lord's Department Store will close its doors on Feb. 28.
A retirement sale will start next week.
Nancy Kelly-Lavin, who runs the business with her brother Tom, said the time is right to close the store.
"It took us months and months and months to figure out what we wanted to do but we think the time is right," said Kelly-Lavin. "We have mixed emotions, it's sad, but we're trying to do what's best for our families."
Kelly-Lavin said she and Tom discussed the future of the business with their .
"My father actually talked to us about this and gave us his blessing," she said.
The sale to a "local developer" -- who is not from Medfield but is from a town closeby -- was closed on Dec. 31. The fate of the property is unknown but it is expected to be renovated in the spring then occupied by a new retailer.

Strong-to-severe storms possible Sunday and Monday
The ABC 17 Stormtrack weather team is closely watching a a storm system that will affect Mid-Missouri late Sunday through Tuesday.
As a cold front approaches the region Sunday, it will spark showers and storms in eastern Kansas and western Missouri that will track eastward into Mid-Missouri. Most of central Missouri is under a slight risk of severe weather (see map below), while eastern Kansas and western Missouri is under a moderate risk of severe weather.
All modes of severe weather will be possible Sunday afternoon and evening. Large hail and isolated tornadoes will be the initial threats, before transitioning to a damaging wind event later in the evening.
Showers and storms will end by early Monday, then reignite along the front again Monday afternoon/evening as the front pushes eastward. Again, strong or severe storms will be possible in the latter half of the day with all modes of severe weather possible.
Large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are possible as storms re-fire Monday afternoon and evening.
Forecast models have slowed the progression of the front, meaning showers and t-storms will be possible into Tuesday, with nearly 1-2 inches of rain looking likely by Tuesday. Cooler and drier weather will move in by Wednesday.

In this case, I am a sucker and a retard for buying a DLC for a game whose online experience is far below what it should be.
But I know I am a sucker and a retard in this regard, for this game, and I am comfortable with it.
I completely agree that £11.49/$15.00 is a complete rip off considering the state of the online multiplayer experience for PC, and I can only apologise for supporting this rubbish state of affairs by buying the DLC.
Do I regret buying the DLC? - Not really, my two vices in life are gaming and good coffee, and I always make sure I have enough cash to fund both habits, and with nothing else standing out game-wise at the moment for me to spend my cash on, the DLC gets purchased.
I already have BF3, which is a great game, and the online experience is better than that on MW3 (in terms of lag and hackers) - I have yet to try out the quick match making feature on BF3, and as you well know, finding and selecting a server to play on is a little more involved than the MW3 matchmaking feature (though not that much) - which in and of itself is a good feature - especially when I just want a quick couple of casual games during my lunch hour at work. However, as good as this is, the need for proper dedicated ranked servers is still a great need for the more serious games and gamers who wish to try to squeeze the best experience out of the game.
And of course, the lag issues, and the hackers still need to be properly addressed.

FONZI3 what's the deal with You? For a guy who hates this game so much, You do post radiculously often ? I just bought the DLC , the new maps look preety cool, I didn't bump into any cheater so I had a few good rounds. Same old game with 4 new maps that's all.

Re: Guys im sorry...Stormproot May 9, 2012 6:08 AM (in response to Trupster)
No really, he raises some valid points.
Repeatedly - yes, but that's the point. Eventually someone with the power to make the required improvements to the game may just hear about how pissed the PC community is - and may elect to do something about it.
Stay quiet, and guaranteed fck-all will be done about it.
Re: Guys im sorry...f0nZi3 May 9, 2012 7:21 AM (in response to Trupster)
It surprises me how many people fork over an extra $15 to a company that has not addressed any major issues with this game. Each patch is hit and miss! Fix one thing, make 3 more worse. They lie to you and you keep coming back and spending more money!
I swear you people are lambs to the slaughter! Put a ring in your nose and Activision can lead you anywhere huh? If people had refused to purchase the DLC, that would have sent a clear message to Activision/IW/SHG that we demand attention and we demand that the problems with this game be fixed! I mean come on! There wasn't even any official patch notes released for this! What, in God's name, are you people thinking?? You think they are all of the sudden going to fix this game after you have bought the DLC?? REALLY?? I understand wanting to play new maps... you know what? I'd like to play new maps in this game. But you know what else? I want them to fix the issues with this game FIRST! I'm not just going to hand them an additional $15 as a reward for F'ing us in the A!

That's the whole point you are missing; we LOVE COD, but HATE what IW is doing to it.
And some one has to tell you, (because activsion certainly wont) that you are only making matters worse by lining their pockets with your hard earned cash (that is if you indeed earned it)
And in effect enabling them to continue reeking havoc with the game we love.
So they have no incentive to mend their ways; as long as people keep forking over money to them.
If you want to continue playing a broken game, we can't stop you.
But you have, at least, been warned.
