Itraconazole is an antifungal prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain fungal infections, including histoplasmosis (also known as Histoplasma capsulatum infection), aspergillosis, esophageal candidiasis, oropharyngeal candidiasis, and others.
Esophageal candidiasis (infection of the esophagus) and oropharyngeal candidiasis (infection of part of the throat) are examples of a fungal infection called mucocutaneous candidiasis (also called mucosal candidiasis). Mucocutaneous candidiasis, histoplasmosis, and aspergillosis are all opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
Itraconazole can also be used "off-label" to prevent and treat other opportunistic infections of HIV infection. "Off-label" use refers to use of an FDA-approved medicine in a manner different from that described on the medicine label. Good medical practice and the best interests of a patient sometimes require that a medicine be used "off-label."
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the HIV-related uses of itraconazole to:
Before taking itraconazole, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from itraconazole. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
More information about itraconazole is available:

Friday's edition had an editorial by the CEO of shiftgig.com on speculating as to why President Obama decided to postpone the implementation of Obamacare to large and midsize employees until 2015.
Obama makes no decisions that would do anything less than further his agenda. As most of these large and midsize companies are more than likely unionized, and when Obamacare gets into full effect, health care premiums will skyrocket, as some have already as a result of Obamacare; just ask any active or retired AT&T employee.
With midterm elections looming in 2014, the last thing Obama wants is to alienate his strong union base prior to those elections, and I believe that is the only reason he has postponed the full emplementation of Obamacare until after the mid-term elections.

Nak Ann Cave, Vieng Xai, northern Laos
Nak Ann Cave, Vieng Xai, northern Laos

Read more about Vieng Xai
About an hour by songthaew from Sam Neua is the neat and tidy town of Vieng Xai, set among beautiful karst limestone mountains that rise out of the rice fields like hulking monoliths.
During the Secret War this area was the seat of command for the most powerful members of the Pathet Lao, the nationalist party that won the war and now runs the country. The caves are the major reason for visiting Vieng Xai, either staying overnight or travelling as part of a package from Sam Neua.
It's not possible to see the caves without a government guide, so you'll need to swing by Vieng Xai Cave Visitor Centre, just past the centre of town heading toward the largest limestone mountains.
Done on foot, or bicycle if you can convince others in the group to hire, and with a guide of reasonable English-speaking ability, the tour takes you into the caves of the most important government ... Read our complete Vieng Xai travel guide

MBC is a jewel. Sat all alone on a corner, its room is right-sized & comfy, the menu is uncomplicated @ tasty, and the service is unfailingly good, especially the wine stewards. The pot pie and brunches are not to be missed (they actually serve brunch DURING THE WEEK), and do not under ANY circumstances skip dessert; you'll miss their pie and that would be a crime.
Pretty much always hoppin', and for good reason. If you don't mind a bit of a wait, you're in for a smiling, full tummy at MBC. Breakfasts are outstanding, and the burger is simple (nothing wrong with that) and simply fantastic.
Weekday brunch is popular (read: crowded) in this intimate, cozy space. Wild mushroom benedict with truffle mornay sauce is a great way to start the day.
A Mission district classic that makes amazing brunch and hearty, homey dinners. The pot pie is a must order.
Always at least one gourmet, well-balanced / nutritious entree for vegans and vegetarians.
Utter Contentment – I had a moment of utter contentment last night at Mission Beach Cafe. A beautiful San Francisco day, a lovely glass of tempranillo and the juiciest and tastiest burger I have bitten into in a really long time. Great patty, caramelized onions, melted gouda, grilled mushrooms on a toasted bun. Oh and added bonus the burger is sitting next to truffle parmesan fries. I was way too stuff after but definitely heading back to try the pies....mmm huckleberry.
Seasonal comfort fare comes with a decidedly grown-up, modern aesthetic at this sweet, little Mission restaurant and bakery. – Though Top Chef alum Ryan Scott is gone, MBC is still an all-city brunch fave and stays packed for lunch and dinner despite being slightly off the SF restaurant track. Light pours in from large windows, which coupled with the white walls and rafters makes this corner spot feel a bit like a beach chalet despite being miles from the water. The menu is seasonal and changes constantly but standbys include the fried egg sandwich, the sweet corn soup, and the grass-fed Beach Burger with tomato jam and onion marmalade. Despite the culinary achievements, this is still a sleepy cafe in the mornings, serving fresh-baked pastries and Blue Bottle coffee to neighborhood locals.
Delicious food, Great Atmosphere – This isn't your typical cafe. In fact, it's not really a cafe at all. Don't go with your laptop expecting to sit around all day using WiFi and drinking coffee. And don't expect to wear your flip flops inside! This isn't next to the beach. Although, it is on the edge of the mission.
Aside from the name, I love this place. Tasty food, great wine, decadent desserts. If anything, go for the selection of wines hand picked by Jeremy (our handsome server and wine connousieur), and for the chocolate pecan pie.
One of our favorite in San Fran – Perfect dinner - start to finish. Attentive and pleasant service, but not overbearing. We were given a choice of seats - we could have waited 5 minutes for one in the corner or take a table near the kitchen immediately - opted for the bigger table near the kitchen (was far enough removed from the traffic flow). Good recommendation of wine from our waiter. Had the house salad, two orders of Crostata (pizza meets pie crust - yummzy) and the filet (right amount of balsamic reduction). We were saving room for Bi-rite ice cream so passed on desserts - they decided to give us a small doggie bag-to-go with a small taste of what we were missing. We're going back... maybe for wine, maybe for breakfast cafe action.
Great Cafe with a twist! – I went to Mission Beach Cafe today and was really impressed with decor, presentation of the food and LOVED my Green Tea Chai Latte!! Mission Cafe has the style of art I like on the walls, my favorite one is on the red wall., the tables and chairs are unique, very comfortable. The place has a warm vibe and has easy parking. I will definitely be going back for dinner soon!
Misses the mark – I was so excited for this place to open. The decor is great, the menu looksfabulous the location is great. Unfortunately, the food is not what one expects from a kitchen in a town catering to foodies. The only "stellar" thing I ate there were the incredible imported almonds on my salad. The lamb was overcooked....the organic filet was rubbery, the sauces lacked flavor and were not pan reduced enough....even the vegetables were cut too small to savor. Sadly, I doubt this place will last.

This press release is an announcement submitted by Johns Hopkins Medicine, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
Having discovered a dramatic increase of an easy-to-detect enzyme in the red blood cells of people with diabetes and pre-diabetes, Johns Hopkins scientists say the discovery could lead to a simple, routine test for detecting the subtle onset of the disease, before symptoms or complications occur and in time to reverse its course.
Pilot studies, published online April 22 in Diabetes, show the enzyme O-GlcNAcase is up to two to three times higher in people with diabetes and pre-diabetes than in those with no disease: "That's a big difference, especially in an enzyme that's as tightly regulated as this one is," says Gerald Hart, Ph.D., the DeLamar Professor and director of biological chemistry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Building on their previous research, which showed how an abundant but difficult-to-detect sugar switch known as O-GlcNAc (pronounced oh-GLICK-nack) responded to nutrients and stress, the Hopkins team knew this small molecule was elevated in the red cells of patients with diabetes. "The question was whether the elevation happened in the earliest stages of diabetes and therefore might have value as a diagnostic tool," Hart said.
To find out, Kyoungsook Park, a graduate student of biological chemistry working in Hart's lab, focused on levels of O-GlcNAcase, an enzyme that removes O-GlcNAc in red cells. O-GlcNAc modifies many of the cell's proteins to control their functions in response to nutrients and stress. Nutrients, such as glucose and lipids, increase the extent of O-GlcNAc modification of proteins affecting their activities. When the extent of O-GlcNAc attached to proteins becomes too high, as occurs in diabetes, it is harmful to the cell.
First, Park purified human red blood cells by depleting them of their main constituent, hemoglobin. The samples had been collected by two sources - the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, or NIDDK, and Johns Hopkins Diabetes Center in collaboration with Christopher D. Saudek, M.D. - and characterized as normal (36 samples), pre-diabetes (13 samples) and type 2 diabetes (53 samples) according to traditional tests that require patient fasting. Defined as normal hemoglobin A1c with impaired fasting glucose, pre-diabetes is an intermediate state of altered glucose metabolism with a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other associated complications.
Then, she measured and compared the amount of the enzyme protein within the red cells associated with the sugar molecule, O-GlcNAc.
"When I checked the enzyme levels and saw how dramatically different they were between the pre-diabetic cells and the controls, I thought I did something wrong," Park says. "I repeated the test five times until I could believe it myself."
Hart speculates that in diabetes and pre-diabetes, it's not a good thing for the increased amount of sugar to be attached to proteins, so the cell is responding by elevating the enzyme that gets rid of it.
"This is an example of how basic research is directly affecting a serious disease," Hart says, adding that his team's pilot studies encourage further investigation of a method that potentially could fill the void that currently exists for an easy, accurate routine test for pre-diabetes. "Only a much larger clinical trial will determine if, by measuring O-GlcNAcase, we can accurately diagnose pre-diabetes."
In addition to Park and Hart, Chistopher D. Saudek, also of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is an author of the paper.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

A Wagner official on Thursday backed up Syracuse's assertion that SU's home opener against the Seahawks would count toward bowl eligibility.
Many Orange fans seemed wary the game against Wagner would not count because it offered too few football scholarships required under NCAA rules. Syracuse schedule-maker Herman Frazier explained on Monday that Syracuse was informed by Wagner that the game would count.

Stocks paring earlier losses in choppy, low-volume trading Tuesday, as investors largely shrugged off Moody's downgrade of Portugal's rating into junk territory.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average zigzagged, after closing higher for the fifth session in the previous session.
HP and JPMorgan led the blue-chip laggards, while Chevron and Disney gained.
The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq were mixed. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, gained above 16.
Among key S&P sectors, financials and industrials led the laggards, while energy gained.
Moody's cut Portugal's credit rating by four levels, two notches into junk territory, saying there is great risk the country will need a second round of official financing before it can return to capital markets. The euro extended losses against the dollarfollowing the news.
"When sovereign debt issues are laughed off by central banks...[and] when rules of the game have changed so much, people don't look at the downgrades as a big deal anymore," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading.
Volume is expected to remain thin amid shortened trading week, which could increase volatility. Markets were closed on Monday for the Independence Day holiday.
"It seems like stocks are taking a break today," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaeffer's Investment Research. "It's a minor victory for the bulls that we're not giving up any of the gains last week and we're holding tough."
While stocks are likely to remain "choppy for the summer," Detrick expects to see an uptrend by year-end with the S&P finishing around 1,550 driven by earnings and economic reports.
"Historically, third and fourth quarters are pretty strong and we think the overall uptrend is still in place."
Later this week, investor focus will shift to jobs, with key employment newsexpected Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
"No one's expecting jobs to rally quickly in the short-term," according to Marc Scudillo, managing officer of EisnerAmper Wealth Management, although he expects the trend to improve in the latter part of the year.
Financials were under pressure after finishing to the upside last week. Morgan Stanley and Bank of America declined.
Regional banks such as M&T, PNC , Comerica and Fifth Third also slipped after Citigroup cut price targets on the lenders, citing earnings pressure from continued low interest rates.
On the tech front, Baidu gained following news Microsoft will team up with the Chinese search-engine giant to develop an English-language search.
Google climbed after
Netflix jumped to lead the S&P 500 gainers after the DVD-rental service said it is expanding its video streaming service to 43 countriesin Latin America and the Caribbean.
However, SAIC tumbled to lead the S&P 500 laggards after Susquehanna cut its rating on the tech firm to "negative" from "neutral" and lowered its price target to $13 from $15.
Pfizer was slightly lower after a study that said healthy, middle-aged smokers who take the pharma giant's popular quit-smoking drugs Chantix or Champix, have a higher risk of suffering heart attacksor other serious heart problems.
Shares of Novartis are also in focus following positive late-stage study results for its breast cancer drug Afinitor.
Gold jumped $30, or 2.02 percent, to finish at $1512.30 an ounce, as risk aversion returned. Oil prices also gainedwith U.S. light, sweet crude rising $1,95, or 2.05 percent, to end at $96.89 a barrel, while London Brent crude traded above $113.
On the M&A front, Southern Union jumped after Energy Transfer Partners increased its bid to buy the natural gas firm in a deal now valued at $8.9 billion.
Ameron surged after National Oilwell Varco said it will buy the fiberglass pipe manufacturer in a deal valued at $772 million.
And Immucor skyrocketed more than 30 percent after the diagnostics firm said it agreed to be bought by private equity group TPG Capital for a fully diluted equity value of $1.97 billion.
Wendy's/Arby's completed its sale of its Arby's chain to the Roark Cap Group and is expected to change its name to The Wendy's and the firm will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "WEN."
On the economic front, factory orders gained 0.8 percent in May, the Commerce Department reported, bouncing back from a previous figure of minus 1.2 percent. However, the report was slightly lower than the 1.0 percent rise expected by economists according to a Reuters survey.
European shares closed higherfor a seventh straight session.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Longwood University researchers have found apparently high levels of salmonella bacteria in some central Virginia streams.
Biology associate professor David Buckalew says salmonella was detected in the Appomattox River and two creeks near Farmville in 2011 and 2012. He tells The Richmond Times-Dispatch that while salmonella levels looked high, it's hard to say for sure because there's no legally unhealthy standard for salmonella in streams.
Still, he says the data suggests bacteria in those streams could be harmful. Buckalew and students who participated in the research found salmonella strains that can cause diarrhea, cramps and fever.
Rebecca LePrell of the state Health Department calls the Longwood effort a "well thought-out research study." She says she knows of no confirmed reports of salmonella in Virginia streams sickening or killing anyone.

I had fun making the deck. She's going to use it with the kids in class sometime soon. :-)
Instructional Objective Clockface Rummy will help students have fun while learning to recognize time in three standard formats: the clock face, the digital display, and the text-based or written method of portraying the time. In addition, early readers will learn to recognize and read the words on the cards.
Learners/Context The learners are students ages 6-8, or anyone trying to learn to tell time. It could also be used with older children in an E.S.L. setting. This game was designed specifically for my daughter and her fellow classmates who are learning to tell time in Mrs. Grobarek's 1st grade classroom at Encanto Elementary school.
Rationale One of the skills that early elementary graders need to learn is how to tell time. Before the introduction of the digital clock, telling time was much easier. Because of the ubiquitous nature of digital watches, many students lack the necessary practice required to read a traditional clock face. In addition, students in the first grade are early readers who are beginning to recognize and read sight words. Thirty percent of the cards have words that they can learn to read through repetition.
A card game is useful in this instance for several reasons: (1) Repetition and recognition are important to telling time. Rather than calculating the time when we gaze at a clock, we are recognizing and interpreting the hand placement on the clock. This game will help this recognition process. (2) Children love games, so a card game would be a simple way to encourage them to practice what they are learning. (3) The different formats for telling and recognizing time lend themselves well to the rummy class of games: they are easy to read and graphically display with cards. (4) With cards, learners will begin to make associations and recognize the different times on the clock. And finally, (5) Playing a card game with this content will be more fun (and easier to remember) than practicing telling time with a worksheet. Teachers can use it for instructional punctuation and enrichment: it is easy to store, easy to set up and easy to use.
Why would you want to use Clockface Rummy in your classroom? Because it is fun, instructional and easy to use!
* This game offers players opportunities to interact with one another while learning. Two or more players can participate in this game.
* For students who like competition, it offers the opportunity to compete and for the age group, the appropriate motivational challenge.
* Learners enjoy doing what they are good at. Clockface Rummy offers learners a chance to quickly get into the game and begin making pairs and matches. Once they are successful, and begin to make pairs, they will want to continue playing.
* This game is easy to administer and play. It follows the rules of Rummy.
* This game is educational. It helps to teach children to recognize several ways that the same time can be displayed. It teaches children to tell time, read time words (e.g. eight O'clock), and recognize the time whether it is digitally displayed or traditionally displayed.
* This game can be used as instructional punctuation after or during a unit on time.
* It is easy to set-up, play and clean up. It can be used on the spur-of-the-moment, without a lot of preparation.
Rules Clockface Rummy is played following the basic rules of Rummy. There are several games possible with this deck of cards. Instructions for the variations will follow the basic rules outlined below.
1. First choose a dealer. The dealer should shuffle the cards and deal four or five cards to each player. The dealer should place the remaining cards face down for use as a drawing pile. Then the dealer should turn one card face up to form the discard pile.
2. The players should pick up their cards and arrange any that appear to match together.
3. The first player to the left of the dealer will go first.
4. During their turn, players will first choose either a card from the drawing pile or from the discard pile. They will then look to their hand of cards and determine if the new card matches any cards in their hand. If they do see #5 and #6 below. If there are no matches, they must discard one card from their hand. The next player, to the left, will repeat the same process.
5. Players are looking for "matches," meaning they must find either two or three of a kind to win points. Two points are given for two of a kind matches, (pairs), and three points are given for three of a kind matches, (books).
6. When a player finds a match s/he must place the match face up on the table. If the other players agree that there is indeed a match, the player collects the two or three points. However, if a player puts down a pair any player may win the one remaining point by finding the third card of the match. This may be done at any point during the game.
7. Play continues until one of the players runs out of cards. The winner is the player that has the most points when someone runs out of cards.
Challenge Rules
For extra challenge try these suggestions:
1. Every time a player tries to collect points, they must first look to the real clock in the room and accurately tell the time. If they are correct they can record one extra point on their score sheet.
2. Add Roman Numeral Time Cards and go for matches of two, three and four cards.
3. Increase the number of cards in the hand. This extends the play.
4. Allow students to use the entire discard pile. Players choosing cards below the top level must lay the bottom-most card down in a pair immediately and keep the rest, discarding only one.
Card Design
Deck Design This deck contains ninty-one cards of each type (273 total) listed above as a card front. However, for the audiece recommended above, I would suggest only using the full hours on the clock and removing the rest. Teachers or facilitators should add the additional cards (half hours, quarter hours, and five minute increments) as the players skill and knowledge aquisition improves.
Design Process When I got this assignment, I took a survey of life around me and tried to fill a need. My daughter recently began first grade, so I took a look around her new classroom and talked to her teacher. I noticed several graphic posters of clock faces around the room. They were obviously going to be learning to tell time in this classroom, so I tried to think of a game that would help my daughter and her classmates do this. The design was developed with these first grade learners in mind. I decided to use the rummy format because I think most students will be familiar with it, or could easily learn it . The different formats for telling time, digital (e.g., 3:00), text based (e.g., three o'clock), and clockface (e.g., )all lend themselves well to matching.
Beta Testing #1 After devising the initial idea, I created a few cards out of construction paper and glue. I had my daughter play it with me to try it out on her age group. I noticed two things that needed to change. The first was the size of the cards. I had made them too big for her to easily hold. The second was that I needed to simplify the rules. I was originally allowing her to go below the top card on the discard pile. However, it will probably be easier for students to play if only the top card is available to them, at least at first. This will limit their choices and they can concentrate on the object of the game: making pairs and matches with what they have. We played two games and I was surprised at how well she did with the content. (We have not taught her the words on the cards or to tell time. She was able to figure it out after I told her about the hour hand pointing to the time.) I was encouraged and wanted to make a deck for her teacher to use in class.
Beta Testing #2 The second round of testing was done with a better prototype of the card game. Originally I was creating the clock faces using SuperPaint. Then, in frustration I decided to reduce keystrokes and construct my game using existing flash cards with clock faces on them. I found flashcards with exactly what I needed at Lakeshore. They even had matching blank flash cards so that I could create my own cards to go with the clock faces! This was great! I made the game by gluing a blank card to the back of the cards I needed. (In other words, I used the flashcards but obliterated their answers on the back sides.) This way I had a workable deck of clockface cards (using only the whole hours, twelve o'clock, one o' clock...) with their corresponding text and digital cards. I had my whole family play the game this time and watched how Devin played and learned. I dealt four cards to each player the first time and then tried it with five. The four cards were easier for Devin to manipulate, but five made the game more interesting and last longer. Devin was able to read almost all of the cards by sounding out the beginning letter of the word (She is a beginning reader who hasn't learned to read these words yet). The only place she had trouble was knowing which was twelve and which was two. Otherwise she was able to play and do well. She liked it and wanted to continue playing after we game finished. I decided that the teacher would have to determine how many cards to deal, and whether to make the rules more or less difficult depending upon the students skills at the time.
I think that this game is a success, it can help children recognize the relationships between the different formats of telling time, and it is fun and easy to play. As far as card design goes, it is nice to have the professionally printed clear clockfaces, but the two flashcards glued together make the cards too thick. Since they are so thick they cannot be shuffled, they have to be mixed purposefully. This could make the game less useful if it is hard to manipulate. If I were to do this again I would xerox the clockfaces or create my own so that the cards are the regular thickness.

Excellent Food! – I have eaten at the Franklin Mellow Mushroom several times and never had a negative experience such as some previous posters described. Yes, sometimes they are busy and you do have to wait to be seated, but I have never had them be rude to me or my family. The food is excellent and they have a great variety of tasty brews. I eat here about once a month and would recommend it to anyone.
Mellow also offers vegan cheese options!
Lackluster. Again... – I came home from work with a hankering for some good pizza, and some good beer. Finding both under the same roof in TN is quite hard, but on occasions, the MM manages. I just wanted some Hoegaarden and a sausage, mushroom, onion, and ricotta pizza: like you can find at ANY decent pizza place in the northeast. I've actually had it at MM, and it was really good: once. Since then, they always claim to be out of ricotta, which seems odd, since they sell calzones?? So, after ordering a Spin-Dip appetizer, I ordered a Buffalo chicken pizza and a cheese with S, M, O and ricotta.
Shortly after receiving our appetizer, which by the way was stone cold ( like it was ready 20 minutes earlier and was never picked up), I was informed by our waitress/bartender, that ricotta was not available tonite (again, see above. If they don't have fresh ricotta, how do the make calzones? Frozen? I would guess so.). Anyhoos, I told her to just cancel the pizza. She thought I meant just the ricotta, so I clearly stated to kill the entire pizza. When the buffalo chicken pizza arrives, she tries to guilt me into taking the other pizza (which, apparently, was already being cooked when she came to inform me that ricotta was not an option). I declined. I mean, why would you make a pizza when you don't have the toppings requested? What's the point?
Later, when we hadn't even finished eating, the server came by and stuck a box in our face (it was 10:15, and apparently, they close at 10PM). Hint taken. Before I could request to pay cash for the tab (I had handed her a CC to start the bar tab before we decided to eat at the bar), I had a credit car receipt in my face on the card I did NOT want charged. Awesome.
Bottom line: MM will make a killer pizza on occasion. With all the $hit3 pizza joints all over Nashville, it's about the only place that can hit a home-run (on occasion). I haven't had a decent pizza in 12 years since living here. I don't know why I continue to try. Uncle Gios (on Nolensville) was as close as you could get to Northern-style pizza. Too bad they went under. They should have named the place "Jets" and southerners would flock there for crappy Sicilian pizza with pellet meatballs and sausage that looks like rabbit droppings.
It's just disappointing to know that I'll only have a good pizza when I leave the south. I'll just have to wait for my next trip to New Haven or Brooklyn.
Will I go to MM again? Probably in another year when i forget that the service provided by their dread-locked, patchouli-wearing, dirty-T-shirt donning, Nashville wanna-be hipster staff sucks, and the food is hit or miss. I'm guessing another year or so.
Terrible Service but good food – The people out front don't seem to know where they are going or what they are supposed to do. The kitchen is no better. We were seated and kept getting annoying cell phone calls asking if were near the restaurant. The server was a friendly young man. We waited thirty minutes and finally some guy, without apology, came out from the kitchen and said, I hope your not in a hurry, Rude, inconsiderate, disorganized. I wouldn't give them a star for service...it was that bad. The poor server kept apologizing for the poor management of this restaurant. Finally, I told them if the pizza wasn't out immediately I was leaving. I am usually patient and was at this time, but the way this was handled was so poor. Wake up management at Mellow Mushroom, if there is any, if you don't have customers you will not be in business. I have purchased a number of pizza's to carry out and never had issues. I doubt I will spend money with them again. Other people are interested in their customers. I will go there.
I didn't mind waiting for a table! – Great: Food, service, wait for seating, everything.
We arrived at and discovered over an hour wait. I am a restaurant manager in Atlanta and would not have even considered coming here because of the crowds....but for being on an hour wait, the restaurant didn't seem that crowded but all the tables were full and everything was very smooth and easy to navigate. The new experience for me is that they asked me for my mobile phone number to call me on when seating was available. I thought that was great! We walked through the local stores and sure enough, about 50 minutes later, my phone rang asking me to return to the host stand. There, we were taken to our table and then server greeted us at our table. All of this was very professional. We ordered drinks while we looked over a very well designed menu. The drinks were served within a few minutes and we ordered an appetizer.
I had to know how the restaurant was running so smoothly with an hour quoted wait time so I asked the manager, Daryl, and he said they used a Wait List manager system by Queuent that called customers on their mobile phones when seating was available. So even though we had to wait an hour, we were able to get our movie tickets and shop around the area while we waited. And if that are at the other end of the strip, the system lets them delay by 15 minutes. No crowds - great wait experience!
All in all, a great casual night out for my wife and I. Highly recommended for a dinner + movie night. And being able to walk around instead of standing in a crowded restaurant waiting for a table, really made the evening.
Questionable management – A beautiful Memorial Day afternoon and my family chose to enjoy a pizza on the patio at Mellow Mushroom in Franklin. We were happy to see a couple of available tables outside when we arrived and asked for seating outside. The young kid at the hostess stand stated that his manager no longer was seating people outside, something about possible rain. I asked to speak to the manager, and yes.... he stated that there were rains forecasted for 5pm (it was currently 4pm) and he was shutting down the patio. It was curious enough that an establishment would shut down a wonderful patio 1 hour before possible rain, but even more amazing that he would do it on an absolutely gorgeous day! Sunny, 83 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky. I was very disappointed in the manager's judgement, and our family chose to eat at another place with a patio. (By the way - - it never rained, we had a great meal outside on the patio at McDougals. We even went for a one hour stroll afterwards the weather was so nice!)
Horrible Service, Rude Waiter and Greeter – We entered the restaurant with 2 famalies, we had 10 people in total. The greeter told us that it was a 20 minute wait, so we walked through the downtown area then came back. They told us again it was another 20 minutes wait and they were terribly busy. So I walked around the restaurant and at least 25% of the tables were open, I told the server that we would like to push 2 tables together, and again they told us to wait another 20 minutes. We waited another 20 minutes, and asked again. They told us they needed another 20 minutes, and the restaurant was not that busy!! What is up with these people, do they not know they own a restaurant and make their money by serving food to people? So I asked for take out and ordered my food to go. The food only took about 10 minutes to make and we were on our way finally. The person at the take out counter said the waitresses and greeters were angry and lashing it out on the customers because their boss did not give them a good review the day before.....well, don't make that our problem next time!! I will never go here again, even though the food was decent.
good pizza, not so great calzones – I really like the pizza when we add provolone cheese to it.
The meat pizza we had had too many types of meat and was distracting in flavor-- but the provolone cheese with portabello mushrooms pizza was awesome!! We've had that twice. We've also had their calzones and my husbands was tolerable-- but mine with total mush-- raw dough--- I couldn't tolerate that-- so that sucked.
the service the first time we went was fine, but the other times we've been it hasn't been the best- very inattentive.
We consider going sometimes-- but only for the tried and true pizza, portabello with provolone pizza--
Service is terrible, staff is rude – I actually cannot comment on how the food is at this restaurant because my family and I have left without being seated.....TWICE!!! The first time we left, we stood there for 15 minutes with our two young children waiting for someone to take our name or seat us. During this time several employees walked by looked at us, did not acknowlege our presence, or offer to help us. So we left in disbelief that the service at this new restaurant was so poor. We decided to give it another chance thinking that night might have been just a fluke. We did get our name on the list today, however the girl was rude about it. We soon found out it wasn't just us, she was rude to everyone who came after us, and actually while we were still standing there we watched a couple walk out that had been waiting longer than us, and a group of FIVE people walked out after the employees were rude about adjusting a table to better accomodate some elderly people with their party. So in total 11 people, including us, walked out of this restaurant in the 25 minutes we stood there, after "rude hostess" told us it would be a ten minute wait. Shame on us for returning to a place that didn't make a good first impression to begin with. After talking to several other people, all have said the same thing...the service there is terrible. That is a reputation that will eventually outweigh good pizza, it's simply a matter of time.
Best Pizza ever! – I love their pizza! They have so many selections with great prices. This is a great place for the family or for large groups. They also have a bar which is a plus!
Upscale beer & pizza ~ Great Atmosphere! – This is my favorite place to go. They have a HUGE selection of beer and liquor. They also have the best pizza around! They're hoagies are great & there are a lot of vegetarian selections. The people who work there are really nice & they know us by name. Don't forget NTN trivia!! Love it.

Each year, dozens of celebrities from the entertainment and sports worlds converge on the Lake Tahoe course for tournament action. This week, top stars such as former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann and 48-year old Major League Baseball pitcher Jamie Moyer will be hitting the links in Tahoe to support LAF programs and services. Moyer, who has a lifetime 267-204 record, won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2003 for having as big an impact on the field as he did in community service. Theismann, Redskins record holder in passing yards, completions and attempts, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame after his time spent at Notre Dame.
Moyer talked Wednesday about The Moyer Foundation, which he started with his wife in 2000, and which is looking to establish bereavement camps for children. He hopes to start a camp in each MLB city to offer counseling and support to children who have lost a loved one.
"They are dealing with their grief," Moyer said, "learning coping skills to help them move forward in their lives and remember their loved ones in a positive way. As adults it is difficult to deal with a loss, but imagine it as a child — as a 9-, 10-, 11-year old and you've lost a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a grandparent, somebody that's close to you. How do you deal with it?"
In 2010, the LAF's program activities budget totaled more than $28.9 million. Of that, 42 percent went to education, programs and policy, 41 percent went to grants and 17 percent went to advocacy and government relations.
Some of the many programs LIVESTRONG is associated with include:
• LIVESTRONG at School, a challenge for advocates, educators, parents and others to get students involved in the fight against cancer. Research shows that 25 percent of cancer survivors in the United States have school-aged children, inspiring LIVESTRONG to create online classes to teach K-12 students about cancer in an empowering, age-appropriate way.
• LIVESTRONG Survivorship Centers, a collaborative network for cancer centers at leading medical institutions to provide essential direct survivorship services, increase the effectiveness of survivorship care through collaborative research, the development of new interventions and sharing of best practices.
• Planet Cancer, which provides a community of peer support and advocacy for young adults with cancer. Founded by young adults in their 20s, this LIVESTRONG initiative serves to connect young adults, supporting them and their unique needs while battling cancer.
Champion cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong, who has long been the face of LIVESTRONG, said the importance of having school programs and programs for young adults with cancer is essential in fight against the disease.
"We want students to know that cancer is not a death sentence," he said. "Cancer survivors can experience a high quality of life and even achieve greatness. Cancer is a huge issue and one way or another cancer will affect almost everyone in this country."
The LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Campaign also programs and coordinates athletic fundraising events, such as 5K and 10K runs and walks, marathons, triathlons and cycling events.

You can narrow your argument to NOW say "the elite of the elite" as opposed to "fast people" but the fact remains that fastest times tend to be outliers for a lot of prodigies. Darrel Brown, MLF, Dawn Sowell, D'Andre Hill? There are more athletes who peaked at early post teen than athletes who peaked beyond because of life (grad school, injuries, etc). Go look at IAAF.org. One of the new additions is that they have the age at which athletes set their mark in brackets on the all time list. That means that for retired athletes, the number in brackets is the age at which they set their PB that sits on the all-time list. Of the top 50 women performers, fully 16 are on the list at age 23 or younger. Of the 56 men on the all-time list, fully 17 were aged 23 or younger. Also, its fairly well established that Lalova had a flier, but that doesn't mean she had less ability than the other women.
As for Li Xuemei. She ran 22.01. That correlates and is NOT a one-timer. And, the following year she ran 10.95. To fair-minded people that's as good as backing up the 10.79
Stop taking things so personal, I'm just saying your point doesn't hold water. And, for someone who suggests that their posts are placed through the rigors of logic, facts and relevance - such glaring omissions of your presonal mission statement points to the opposite. The fact that you won't accept that you're wrong and just say "my bad" tells me something extra.[/quote]
In my opinion the majority of the people being discussed here put themselves in " the elite of the elite" category if the performances in question were to actually hold up. Running 10.77(in Lalova case) just barely out your teen years and 10.79(in Xuimei case) also barely out your teen years in still air are beyond elite. All the examples you gave are people who ran good times for their age or peaked young. I am talking about people who ran some of the best times period(for any age and under any condition) and did it at young ages and never did it again. Darrel Brown breakthru performance was his 10.09 at age 17 which was very good but he had a 10.01 at age 18 and a 9.99 at age 20. Mark Lewis ran 10.04 at almost age 20 which is also very good good especially for a British sprinter and even though that was his best recorded time his performances in the subsequent years slowly tapered off instead of just plumetting.
to be continued......

Re: Doubtful timing
If your peak is in the 10.7x you should be meandering around 10.8 for a while then 10.9 before you completely fall out of the sub 11 category in you are legit. I am pretty sure Ivet Lalova in a good sprinter especially considering that Bulgarians are not the first nation that pops into mind when thinking of elite 100 meter sprinters. However she is just not 10.77 good. As for Li Xuemei, I don't put much stock into people who only run good times on home soil under dubious conditions and represent dubious countries. Her peformance was at the Chinese games and fast times would have made every single athlete running look good. Lets face it countries like China have been known to do sketchy things when it comes to athletics. Falsifying ages of gymnasts in the Olympics etc. I wouldn't put it past them to rig up a good time for an athlete they want to look good on the world stage. Lets face it a Chinese female running 10.79 0.0 is a freakazoid performance and if you are a freakazoid of a Monday you should be a freakazoid on a Wednesday.
I scrutinize all extraordinary performance. Notice when VCB fixed her start in the indoor season in 2010 and brought her pb down to 7.00 her 100 dropped to 10.78 the same year. The next year it climbed to 10.76. Running 10.7x had becomed engrained in her muscle memory if she executed a good race by her standards. Shelly did 10.78 at 21 in Bejing and then did 10.79 and 10.73(both with practically no wind) the next year in Berlin then dropped 10.70 and 10.75 earlier this year. Kerron Stewart ran 10.75 twice in 2009. Once Carmelita ran 10.67 things were never the same for her again. She climbed all the way to 10.64 and then always manages to drop a couple fast times every year. Of course there is good ole Florence Joyner Griffith once she figured out how to run at mind blowing speeds I don't think she could run slow even if she tried.
I think I backed up my point b4 and I did now. I did not say it is not possible to peak young. However if you run times that are heading to the top of the list for your event then it is rare that is should be a one off. I could provide more examples all day but my fingers are getting tired.
Re: Doubtful timing
Again, your self-described allegiance to logics and relevance falls down due to your over reliance on emotion. A few things:
1) all subseqent defenses have been dishonest. Why? Just look at your original post.
-You wondered about official recognition of marks that are regarded with suspicion citing 10.49 in QF and 47.60 on a triple witching track along with the ATL was illegal canard. You went on to talk about your own "brow raisers" citing Lalova and Li being barely out of their teens. You then said fast people - just out of the teens was NOT the pivoting criterion - but when you got called on it you switched arguments to "what I had happened was I meant..." out of their teens, BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WROTE and from the way you wrote it - clearly not what you meant. Why do I say that? Because you refuse to accept Dawn Sowell, Lalova or Li. In fact, by my count, sub-10.80 by sub-23 year olds are NOT backed up more than they are for women (you're obviously talking about women if you mention sub-11). The only "backed up" would be SAFP and MJ while Li, Lalova and Sowell didn't. Hardly a trend to build an argument around. (That's the tunnel in your argument with a train running through.)
2) You can't talk about objectiveity and logic, yada, yada, yada and then delve into talk about drug suspicion - which by definition, without an AAP, means you're not being logical. In addition to not holding the standard to EVERY other athlete. There is not a country that actively tests that has not found PED's. Eugene, Clermont, Indy are all in the USA but you cite China? And, because you want to believe it you say "I wouldn't put it past them..." but when you're called out about it you start yipping about being picked on.
3) You cite VCB...she was 28 in 2010. Jeter was 29 in 2009. You cherry pick Stewart for running 10.7x but she didn't break 10.80 until she was 25. How does that apply to the fresh out of your teens again? I know you THINK you backed up your point, but you didn't, and that's because you clearly don't get it.
So which is it? Is it a post teen or is it entry onto the all-time list regardless of age? Because you're post is all over the map.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered Save the Date cards in blue with grey ink. The paper quality and printing is very nice. I love the design on the back as well. The only thing I didn't like was the logo on the back, but I guess they have to advertise somehow. I am not into picture save the dates, and I thought this was a simple, nice looking, and well designed card that would have all the information needed for our guests."
"These cards were great to spread the word. We got them in their most standard form and had so many comments back about how sweet they were! They match our wedsite perfectly; would definitely recommend this if you're just going for something simple :)"
"we LOVED the daisies. we ordered this design in turquoise to better coordinate with our wedding colors, they look amazing! they arrived quickly, excellent condition. the rectangular fitted envelopes held them in place perfectly!"
"When I ordered these Save the Dates I changed all the fonts and even the positioning of some of the wording. After sending in my order, I was sent back a proof, which had some changes that the professionals thought I would like. I simply asked them to change it back to the way I originally had it, which they did very quickly. We were extremely happy with how these came out, and the color purple is amazing. We wanted something that looked formal, but also whimsical and fun, and these cards were perfect. Our order came quickly, and I even had to reorder some more which came even faster."
"Ordered these in eggplant. Used as the invitations bc it was cheaper (we had a very informal/budget wedding). We loved them and got many compliments on them. We had a wedding website and put the url for the site on the cards since we couldn't fit much info on the cards themselves. That way guests could go to the website for more details on the wedding. Nicer that merely emailing guests."

Welcome to the website for the North East Branch of the British Psychological Society (BPS). We are a relatively new Branch of the Society, and we hope that you will be enthusiastic in attending events and making this an active and vibrant Branch. Please contact us with any ideas you have for events - your contributions will help ensure the future success of our branch!
The Branch officially came into being on 4 February 2003 when an open general meeting was held at York St John College to elect the committee and formally constitute our existence as part of the Society. Since then, the Branch has worked closely with the Leicester Office to ensure that Branch members have representation at all levels of the Society.
Currently, the Branch consists of some 3 380 members drawn from a geographical area that extends from the River tweed to the Wash and from Hull to the borders of Lancashire. In our first year we have held scientific events for all members at the Universities of Sunderland, Teesside and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Our committee includes academic psychologists, practitioners and students. The committee organises events and promotes psychology in the North East of England. All members of the BPS who live in the North East of England are automatically our regional members.
One of our aims is to be able to bring psychologists from different walks of life together to share experiences, learn from each other and get to know each other. At our inaugural meeting we made an undertaking to be a roving Branch and we are keen to ensure that we are able to reach all our members. We welcome anyone with ideas on how to improve/extend the Branch Activities - if that's you, please get in touch!
The North East of England Branch AGM

Georgia Southern (GaSo) is not going to go to the FBS within the next decade. At best this is a pipe-dream. In reality, the administration at GaSo is just saying that they want to do this because Georgia State moved up to the FBS. The GaSo admin is under 21 questions from boosters about why they haven't done it and this is just the smoke screen. GaSo does not have the financial resources or the alumni support for the move. Maybe they never will. Kennesaw State Univ has already passed GaSo in student size so GaSo is at best the 5th largest college in Georgia. The GaSo history has been as an A&M school and a Teachers college so there is no wealthy alumni to mine. In short, this is never going to happen for GaSo. Just hicks and rednecks with a dream!
Each February, more SEC football signees come from the state of Georgia than from any other state in the Union. That includes Florida, despite the fact that the Sunshine State produces more NFL-caliber talent year-in and year-out than the Peach State does. The explanation for that is pretty simple:
FBS Schools in Florida: Florida, Florida State, Miami, South Florida, Central Florida, Florida Atlantic, and Florida International.
FBS Schools in Georgia: Georgia and Georgia Tech.
It's easier for SEC schools like South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Alabama and Auburn to target Georgia kids because — face it — they can't all stay in state. That's the reason Missouri is now aiming at Georgia and Atlanta, too.
Ah, but things could get a bit tougher in the years ahead for all those schools who mine Georgia for talent. And don't laugh too hard when you read this: Georgia State is moving to the FBS level this season and Georgia Southern is taking steps toward such a move down the road. Remember, at one point South Florida and UCF were laughers, too. Now they're in a BCS league and can go toe-to-toe with SEC teams in football on occasion. (Ask a Georgia fan about UCF's Liberty Bowl win over the Dawgs two years ago, for example. Then again, don't. You'll get slapped.)
Bill Curry's Georgia State program has potential. This year they'll move into the Sun Belt Conference. The school is located smack in the middle of downtown Atlanta. That means prospects and it also means a busy campus life to sell to those prospects. The school's enrollment is already 30,000 and it's the second largest school in the University System of Georgia. Now, there's certainly the potential for the board of regents of Georgia's system to handcuff and hold back GSU the way the power brokers in the Alabama system consistently undermine UAB's football program. Still, it's one more program to compete with for all those out-of-state programs looking to raid the Peach State.
As for Georgia Southern — which is also in the University System of Georgia and under the same board of regents as UGA — the six-time FCS champion Eagles are now readying for a move to the big time, too. According to The Statesboro Herald the school is trying to raise $36.6 million over five years to make the move up in class. "There's no question it's where we want to go," said president Brooks Keel.
All of this is coming at a time when the NCAA is seriously looking at its current make-up. For the first time ever even the NCAA president is openly talking about how hard it is to try and keep all schools — rich and poor, big and small — competing on an even level. Obviously there's a chance that both Georgia State and Georgia Southern could move up to the FBS just in time to see the biggest BCS portion of that group shift off into its own supersized subset of the FBS and NCAA, thus defeating the purpose of those schools' moves.
But all things being equal, the potential doubling of FBS football programs in Georgia bears watching by Southeastern Conference teams. If Georgia State or Georgia Southern are able to keep just one key recruit at home each year, that's one less impact player who most likely would have landed at another SEC school in previous years.
For all the cracking wise done at the expense of programs like FAU and FIU in Florida, they have had an impact on SEC recruiting. You can see it every February… when the league's teams ink more players from Georgia than from the state just below it on the map.

SCOP is a library for writing distributed applications. The functionality includes message-passing, events, and RPCs. It is primarily aimed at C++ programs on Linux, or Java anywhere. Much simpler than CORBA, it is easy to learn, general-purpose, fairly fast, thoroughly documented, complete, and free.
ACDK is a development framework with a similar target of Microsoft's .NET or Sun's ONE platform, but it uses C++ as a core implementation language. It implements the standard library packages, including acdk::lang, acdk::lang::reflect, acdk::util, acdk::io, acdk::text (including regexpr), acdk::net, acdk::sql, acdk::xml, and more. Flexible allocator/garbage collection, threading, and Unicode are implemented in the core of ACDK. Extensions make C++ objects available for reflection, serialization, aspect-oriented class attributes, and [D]ynamic [M] ethod [I]nvocation. This DMI acts as an universal object oriented call interface to connect C++ with scripting languages (Java, Perl, Tcl, Python, Lisp, Visual Basic, and VBScript) and standard component technologies (CORBA and COM).
Berkeley DB XML is a native XML database engine for use within your product. Made available as a C++ library with language bindings for Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and Tcl, it integrates directly into your application (it is not a standalone database server). It provides XQuery access into a database of document containers. XML documents are stored and indexed in their native format using Berkeley DB as the transactional database engine.
Libbraille makes it easy to access Braille displays and terminals. It can write text on a Braille display, directly draw Braille dots, or get the value of pressed keys. It is compatible with a wide range of Braille displays, and can autodetect some of them. A virtual GTK+ display is provided so that developers can test how their application would be rendered in Braille.
JyConsole is an efficient component able to manipulate Python/Jython and Java objects through a command line interface. It features several requirements of modern consoles, such as command history, completion (Ctrl+Space), easy script loading, and basic GUI preference management. JyConsole can be directly used as a standalone application or as an embedded graphical component in a Java or Jython application.
JagPDF is a library for generating PDF documents in C/C++, Python, and Java. It supports TrueType (subsetting) and standard 14 Type 1 fonts, font metrics, Unicode, UTF-8 and common 8-bit character encodings, images (JPEG, PNG, or custom), paths, color spaces (RGB, CMYK, CIE based, ICC profiles, indexed), encryption, bookmarks, hyperlinks, and more.
