Tips To Remedy Nausea In Early And Late Pregnancy
Although pregnancy nausea is common and you want to limit the use of any medication during pregnancy, there is no need to suffer with the nausea. It is not about being "tough" during pregnancy and bearing symptoms such as nausea. If you are suffering with nausea, irrespective of whether it is early or later in your pregnancy, you have to take some action to remedy it. The reasons for pregnancy nausea varies so what works in early pregnancy may not in late pregnancy. And what works for one pregnant woman may not for another. Here are some simple tips to remedy nausea in pregnancy.
Heart Diseases In Women
Heart diseases are any condition that affects the structure and/or functioning of the heart. It includes common conditions like coronary artery diseases (CAD) and heart attacks (myocardial infarction) which are usually thought to be common in the male population but it is also quite common in women. Although the risk is somewhat lower before menopause, it rises gradually in women after menopause. By the age of 75 years the risk is equal to that of males of the same age group.
When To Tell Your Child That You Are Pregnant
The excitement of a pregnancy and the life impact of having another child is not only between you and your partner if you have another child or children. The arrival of a new baby will be a life changing effect for parents and siblings of the newborn. Naturally not every member of the family will be as excited as you are. By handling the situation appropriately, you can prepare your child for the birth of the baby, ensure that he or she does not feel neglected and keep sibling rivalry at bay. But is it better to start sooner rather than later?
Pregnancy Nausea – Why does it occur?
Nausea in pregnancy is a common symptom. It is worst in the first trimester of pregnancy where most of us refer to it as morning sickness. Here the nausea, often accompanied by vomiting, tend to be worse during the first half of the day. However, some women may experience this nausea throughout pregnancy. Nausea may also arise again in the latter parts of pregnancy but often for different reasons from the morning sickness of early pregnancy. Whatever the cause, nausea can significantly upset the life of a pregnant women, hamper normal eating which is important for the growing baby and when accompanied by vomiting it can even lead to serious complications for the mother and unborn child.
Ortho Evra Contraceptive Patches For Birth Control
What is Ortho Evra?
Ortho Evra is a birth control patch which delivers the hormones estrogen and progesterone through the skin. In order to use the Ortho Evra one should apply the patch on the skin once every week for three weeks and avoid using the patch on the fourth week to allow menstrual bleeding to occur. Ortho evra acts in the same way as the combined oral contraceptive pills except that it is applied to the skin (transdermal administration) rather than taking a pill (oral administration).
Food For New Mothers
After giving birth, most young mothers become concerned about losing the weight they have gained during pregnancy. But one should keep in mind that even more important than losing weight is to eat to stay healthy. After all your health is essential for you to take care of baby and even to produce milk should you opt to breastfeed. So what are the right foods and wrong foods for the mother after giving birth? Is is normal to have cravings although the pregnancy has ended?
Withdrawal Method (Pullout Contraception Method)
What is the withdrawal method?
The withdrawal method also known as coitus interruptus or pull out method, is a contraceptive method in which the male partner withdraws the penis from the vagina of the female partner before ejaculation. The purpose of this act is to avoid pregnancy. The sperm present in the seminal fluid is prevented from entering the reproductive system of the female partner. Ultimately fertilization of the ovum (egg cell) by the sperm is prevented.
Group B Strep Testing In Pregnancy
What is Group B Strep Test?
Group B streptococcus also known as Group B strep is a commonly found species of bacteria in the gut and genital tract of healthy humans. These bacteria are not harmful in adults but in pregnant women and in newborns the bacteria can lead to serious and even life-threatening medical conditions. A gynecologist may recommend that a pregnant woman has group B strep tests done by the third trimester. A vaginal and/or rectal swab is sent to the laboratory to test for presence of group B strep. A negative test result does not require any treatment but a positive test result requires antibiotic administration during labor. The test may be repeated on consecutive pregnancies as the results can change from time to time.
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing
What is non-invasive prenatal testing?
Non-invasive prenatal testing, also known as non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, is a screening method to detect certain genetic defects in the unborn baby. This is a sophisticated test which examines the genetic material of the mother (maternal DNA) to determine whether the growing baby is at risk of suffering from genetic diseases like Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) or defects in the sex chromosomes (Turner syndrome).
This testing also helps to determine the blood group and sex of the baby. Non-invasive prenatal test is usually recommended in women with certain risk factors for carrying baby with genetic or other defects. The consulting doctor and genetic counselor helps the patient to explore the risks and benefits associated with prenatal testing and other decisions that may need to be taken.
Hormone Therapy For Breast Cancer
Hormone therapy for breast cancer aims at administering drugs to treat certain varieties of breast cancer which are responsive to certain hormones. The most commonly used technique to treat breast cancer in women includes administration of drugs that work by blocking the hormone estrogen from binding to its receptor.Another important mode of treating breast cancer using hormones is by suppressing production of estrogen by the body.

John Stossel's March 27 column, "Imperial Washington," contained an error in its depiction of extraordinary wealth in and around Washington, D.C. The passage should have read: "Of the richest 1 percent of counties in the United States, 43 percent surround the nation's capital city."
Because of a writing error, support for ordinances overhauling the process by which Salisbury chooses its first selectman and selectmen was overstated in the March 23 editorial "Selecting selectman." The sentence affected by the error should have read: "The ordinances, which have the support of some Republicans, Democrats and independents, are worthy of support."

Happy Valley, Unaka lose in Trailblazer
GRAY — After trailing the first 19 minutes, Happy Valley got a spark in the third quarter from Josh Price.
It wouldn't be enough to tame the Falcons.
Volunteer took command in the fourth quarter, taking advantage of breaks as the Tribe struggled to make a basket on the offensive end, and held on for a 44-42 win over the Warriors in Friday's prep opener at the Next Level Basketball Trailblazer Classic at Snyder Gymnasium.
"We didn't make shots," said Happy Valley coach Chuck Babb, whose team falls to 3-10 on the season. "You've got to be able to score. We held them there in the third and got the lead. We picked up the pace in the fourth and didn't score."
Daniel Boone used an array of buckets in the first quarter to build a lead that was too hard to overcome on its home court.
Inititally, with the exception of Logan Carrier, who scored 16 of the Rangers' first 19 points and a game-high 27 overall (six treys), Unaka struggled to match the firepower of the 'Blazers in its third straight game in as many days.
When the Rangers found their offense, there wasn't enough time on the clock to make a difference.

Gerald Heard, an English writer of philosophy and science fiction and close cohort of Aldous Huxley during the drug years, divides laughter into two basic schools of comedy: high and low. Low humor is the slapstick of Punch and Judy, fart jokes and prat falls. The audience laughs out of relief that they are not the fools on stage doing embarrassingly stupid things and getting hit over the head for it.
High humor on the other hand generates its laughs from the sudden and unexpected understanding of some situation or event, as explained by the comic for the enlightenment of the spectators. This breakthrough enlightenment causes involuntary laughter to break forth from the individual who suddenly "gets it," as exemplified by the Zen Buddhist monks who famously rise laughing and exit their studies on reaching true understanding. High humor is a mark of wisdom and should be sought out.
Which brings us to the current flap among the teapot dimwit right overt the congressional testimony of Steven Colbert, a popular television comic whose parody of the news and commentary media are often disrespectful of politics, the process, and its adherents. Colbert, a highly educated urbanite, joined a farm workers demonstration by working a day picking and packing crops. It was that experience he detailed for the congressional sub committee on immigration, much to the discomfort of the members who didn't know how to take a comic telling them about the inequities of their policies. Cries of disrespect for Congress echoed across the conservative media skylines as right wing pundits asked who Colbert thinks he is.
The rise of the public angst over government failures and perfidy over the past several decades, from Ross Perot in 1992 to the rise of the Tea Party rebels in this era, mark not only a partisan shift, but a neo- "know nothing"-populism that appears to glorify the common man and his common ignorance as qualification for public office and political celebrity. We are treated to the wisdom of Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and Sharon Angle plus a collection of candidates for national office whose collective understanding of public affairs could be engraved on the head of a pin by a spastic stone cutter.
With these examples of politics as a craft, it seems perfectly logical to begin choosing our leaders from outside the public service career field.
As a comic, Colbert must pay close attention to the current events on which he builds his routines. While Joe the Plumber is snaking our sewer line, Colbert is pondering the implications of the proposed Patriot Act expansion to allow the feds to monitor tweets and Facebook. If he is successful he will get a laugh out of the audience, several of whom will have understood the issue for the first time. High humor indeed.
Always remember: He who laughs, lasts!

Attacks continue in Middle East (1:17)
Nov. 19 - Israel bombs Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip from air and sea, as tanks and infantry amass at the border. Sarah Charlton reports. ( Transcript )
Crowds gather around the wreckage of a vehicle in the Gaza Strip. Palestinians here said the vehicle was distributing water to local residents and was targeted by an Israeli airstrike. Israel has continued to bomb militant targets in Gaza, while dozens of Palestinian rockets have been launched into Israel. Health officials in Gaza say 72 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded. Three civilians in Israel have also lost their lives. On the border, Israeli tanks and infantry have massed as officials say they are ready to widen the offensive. The conflict appeared to enter its sixth day in the early hours of Monday (November 19) morning, when a blast hit Gaza City. Aerial drones could be heard, as a huge explosion ripped through the area. While both sides have spelt out conditions for a truce, efforts are underway to broker a ceasefire.

Anne Hathaway's Wedding Dress: Get the Look
by Alyssa Wells, Brides
When it was announced that Valentino would design Anne Hathaway's wedding dress, all we could do was wait impatiently on the edge of our seats for the big-day reveal. And the knowledge that Valentino came out of retirement-he stopped designing for his fashion house in 2008-to pay tribute to his muse ("She's like my daughter!" he has said) only made the wait more unbearable.
On September 29th, Anne Hathaway wed Adam Shulman in a sunset ceremony in California's scenic Big Sur. From what we can tell from the fuzzy, albeit stunning, photos-leave it to Anne Hathaway to look thisgorgeous even out of focus-the gown features a gauzy, tulle overskirt and an elegant off-the-shoulder-neckline fashioned from the same fabric.

Wofahulicodoc-i pronounce this WOfaHUlicoDOC. Two trochees and and iamb (or an amphibrach and an anapest). RhuBARB comMANdo. PEter tromBONiAtor- the last is deliciously iambic as is RC.
I disagree that iamb is closest to normal speech.
Iamb is closest to desired intonation.
Okay serious question: scansion changes with accent. I pronoun trochee as an iamb. Where does that leave carefully scanned poetry- in the realm of subjectivity? There are no set rules as to which syllables are and aren't stressed, are there?
*** Sorry for the excessive energy of this post: a beloved topic.
Apparently the longer syllables are stressed and shorter aren't but this is also dependent on accent and culture. For salman rushdie- we say salMAAN and not SALman.
Okay -I'll stop yappin now.

I think the latter is very likely - Dr Seuss was such a well-loved writer by generations of children - and adults, for that matter! - that I can't think of any other reasonable motive for Google to ignore him.

My brother built a grocery store
To annihilate our mother.
The building was a carnivore,
'T'would eat what it could smother.
He rigged the soap aisle to collapse,
But Mom shopped in another.
A quirk of fate it was, perhaps:
An aisle ate my brother.

You can rest assured, Mister Tromboniator, that that particular order of words has never before been concocted by a sapient mind in all the history of all mankind.

- Touch screen (Touch screen)
If the device has an touch screen, the user can navigate control the device (through menus, look up directions, browse, etc.) by touching the screen.
- Display resolution (Display resolution (width x height))
Resolution is the number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels of the display.
- Built-in antenna (Built-in antenna)
If the device has an internal antenna built-in, the use of an external antenna is not obligatory.
- External antenna support (Support for external antenna)
External antenna often offers better reception than the internal GPS antenna.
- Bluetooth (Bluetooth support)
Via Bluetooth the GPS can be connected to another Bluetooth device for data transfer. The connection can be used e.g. to transfer location data from the GPS to a mobile phone, PDA, or PC.
- Map storage medium (Main storage medium for maps)
The storage used for map data can be either internal (flash or HDD) or external (a memory card, CD or DVD). A navigator can also support more than one storage methods, which eases the upload of new maps. For example, you could store the map of your home area on the internal storage medium, and when you decide to make a road trip to a foreign country, use an external memory card to upload the map of the destination.
- DGPS support (Differential GPS support (DGPS))
DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) is a method of improving the accuracy of GPS navigator by adding a (fixed) local reference station to augment the information available from the satellites. It also improves the integrity of the whole GPS system by identifying certain errors.
- Internal storage (Internal storage size)
The amount of space available on the internal storage medium can vary greatly, but so does the need for it. If the navigator is needs only to store the map data, lesser space is required. But if the device is used to store many maps or especially entertainment content (e.g. music, photos or video), can extra space be of use.
- USB (USB or USB2 connector)
The most common use of the USB connector is to connect the GPS to a computer. This allows the computer to access the GPS for system updates, map uploads, and other possible data transfer (e.g. music or photos).
- Screen format (Screen format)
Screen format of the display is expressed as the width to height ratio (width:height). Often used formats include the standard 4:3 and the so called widescreen (16:9).
- TMC support (Traffic Message Channel support (without an add-on))
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a technology for delivering traffic and travel information to drivers. The system is in use in many European countries. When integrated into a navigation system, TMC gives the driver the option to take alternative routes to avoid traffic incidents.

Careers in Entrepreneurship
Average Career Salary
While entrepreneurs typically look to equity growth and a sense of accomplishment as their primary compensation, our graduates with an entrepreneurship major have a skill set that prepares them for a variety of jobs with an average salary of $70,000
Anticipated demand over next 10 years
According to the Kauffman Foundation, the nation's leading source for economic research
for Entrepreneurship:
• Entrepreneurship education increases the probability of a student being involved in a new

World-Herald staff writer Lee Barfknecht rates the Big Ten football teams, as published in The World-Herald on Sept. 16.
* * *
1. Ohio State (3-0)
Last week: beat California 52-34. This week: Florida A&M, 11 a.m., BTN. Did you hear about the Buckeyes' quarterback controversy? Senior backup Kenny Guiton, in place of injured starter Braxton Miller, earned national offensive player of the week honors with 368 yards and four touchdowns in a thrashing of California.
2. Michigan (3-0)
Last week: beat Akron 28-24. This week: at Connecticut, 7 p.m., ABC. In one week, quarterback Devin Gardner went from newfound star after a win over Notre Dame to turnover machine by losing the ball four times in the Wolverines' scary victory over Akron.
3. Northwestern (3-0)
Last week: beat Western Michigan 38-17. This week: Maine, 2:30 p.m., BTN. Good teams have the depth to carry on with a key player injured. That's happening with the Wildcats as tailback Treyvon Green, in place of All-American Venric Mark (leg), topped 125 yards rushing for the second time in three games.
4. Wisconsin (2-1)
Last week: lost to Arizona State 32-30. This week: Purdue, 2:30 p.m., ABC. The Badgers let a great chance at a tough road victory slip away with a questionable end-game decision. But that doesn't diminish the effort, which was far better than other Big Ten teams have produced at Arizona State in many years.
5. Michigan State (3-0)
Last week: beat Youngstown State 55-17. This week: at Notre Dame, 2:30 p.m., NBC. For one week, the Spartans clicked on offense, with sophomore Connor Cook (15 of 22 passing, four TDs) in control. But doing it against an FCS team and doing it this week against Notre Dame are different deals.
6. Nebraska (2-1)
Last week: lost to UCLA 41-21. This week: South Dakota State, 2:30 p.m., BTN. The Huskers picked a team motto before the season of R.A.C., which stands for "relentless, accountable and competitive." In the UCLA game, they finished 0 for 3 in those categories. Somebody has to take charge here.
7. Penn State (2-1)
Last week: lost to Central Florida 34-31. This week: Kent State, 2:30 p.m., BTN. The Nittany Lions never led at home against Central Florida as the defense gave up 507 yards, including 10 plays of 20 yards or more. There are certain days Penn State's lack of depth will show plainly.
8. Illinois (2-1)
Last week: lost to Washington 34-24. This week: idle. The Fighting Illini continue to surprise, pushing No. 19 Washington deep into the fourth quarter. But the defense got dented for 615 yards.
9. Minnesota (3-0)
Last week: beat Western Illinois 29-12. This week: San Jose State, 11 a.m., ESPN2. Head coach Jerry Kill's health situation continues to overshadow anything this team does on the field — and that's unfortunate on all counts. Starting QB Philip Nelson's bad hamstring is a concern.
10. Indiana (2-1)
Last week: beat Bowling Green 42-10. This week: Missouri, 7 p.m., BTN. In the win over Bowling Green, the Hoosiers held an opponent without an offensive touchdown for the first time in 61 games.
11. Iowa (2-1)
Last week: beat Iowa State 27-21. This week: Western Michigan, 11 a.m, BTN. Nice win for the Hawkeyes, but they still haven't beaten an opponent that has an FBS victory. Give coordinator Greg Davis credit for riding workhorse tailback Mark Weisman long and hard against an undersized ISU defense.
12. Purdue (1-2)
Last week: lost to Notre Dame 31-24. This week: at Wisconsin, 2:30 p.m., ABC. No team in the country made a bigger one-week turnaround than the Boilermakers, from struggling against an FCS foe to nearly knocking off Notre Dame. So which is the real Purdue?

Professional water-skier Seth Stisher gives the sport a lesson in commitment
Thirty-three-year-old sun-bronzed Stisher, a professional slalom skier and coach, has worked tirelessly to nurture H2Osmosis Sports into a viable business entity that serves the edgy sport that he so loves.
On a clear blue lake created by a construction company's digs, a MasterCraft boat zips down the center of six red buoys, trailing a man on a single ski. At the stern, Seth Stisher watches intently as the student executes the course, slicing back and forth across the smooth surface to round each marker. At the end of the run, Stisher leans over the swim platform to offer direction on the skier's technique before the next pass.
The 33-year-old sun-bronzed Stisher, a professional slalom skier and coach, has worked tirelessly to nurture H2Osmosis Sports into a viable business entity that serves the edgy sport that he so loves. After three years at Trophy Lakes, he and college friend and business partner Tadd Schreiber have moved and expanded the company, with headquarters now in Talking Rock, Georgia, and the new H2Osmosis Training Center tucked into the woods on John's Island. "We call it Oz, and that's the feeling we're going for—it's this Zen place to ski," he says. "It's that little spot in the woods where we're able to focus on what we do." In the near-complete shop perched beside a porch and dock that Stisher helped build, a breeze chases the thick heat as the instructor talks of growing up in Arab, Alabama.
Waterskiing and willpower flow through Stisher's veins as surely as his familial blood. Childhood summers and weekends spent at the family's North Alabama cabin on Lake Guntersville had him cutting through the wake of his father, a hobbyist who taught a five-year-old Stisher and his brother how to ski. "My dad gave us a great opportunity, at times probably more than we wanted," says Stisher, who headed to the lake with increasing frequency as his passion for the sport increased. "I was mostly driven by the fact that I had an older brother who seemed like he could do everything, so I worked hard to try to be able to do everything. I didn't have as much talent and wasn't as fearless, but I was greatly motivated by him and my father."
Beginning at age nine, Stisher's tournament travels carried him around the Southeast. "At that time for me, leaving our state was like travelling out of the country," remembers the lifelong athlete. "Wow…Georgia!" By the time he reached 14, his competitive talents had landed him in the nationals on the West Coast.
Though he travelled quite a bit as a kid, and now coaching and competitions have him jetting around the world, college kept Stisher close to home. At the University of Alabama, he earned a secondary education degree to teach language arts, theater, and speech. "In college, I decided a career path wasn't all about money but doing something I wanted," he says. "I knew financial opportunities would present themselves throughout my life, but I wanted the core of my work to be based in education, since that's what makes me happy at the end of the day."
Finding a bulletin board flyer for the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching, he applied and was accepted to work at an inner-city performing arts school in Sydney, Australia, where he taught English and fitness and coached basketball. "The mentor I was working under took a leave of absence, so I had to actually be the teacher in front of the class while the substitute sat in the back," he says. "I was sort of thrown to the wolves." Perhaps it was this immersion that led Stisher to his current educator role, though in a decidedly different (and wetter) environment. "It was an opportunity to really feel what it's like to be a teacher," he continues. "I realized I loved teaching, and I loved skiing and the lifestyle around skiing."
Though many college athletes leave their sports upon graduation, Stisher's passion for waterskiing didn't diminish during his Crimson Tide years. A member of the waterskiing club (though the sport isn't part of the NCAA, the team's reputation for success earned it recognition from the university), Stisher and other members competed in jumps, tricks, and slalom, finishing among the top in the country for three of his four years at the school. In 1997, going into his senior year, Stisher won the collegiate nationals, hosted by the National Collegiate Water Ski Association, in his current event of choice, slalom. "That was a real motivator," he remembers. "In college, I skied with a lot of people who grew up going to ski schools with professional coaches. I grew up on the river, just a little more blue collar. It was a big step, because I won against guys who were national champs as kids."
It may have been this difference that has fueled Stisher's success as a coach, teacher, and professional athlete. "I think because my dad taught me to ski and I didn't have much coaching when I was younger, there was a lot of self-discovery involved. I had to watch skiers, and I still do that with other pros," Stisher says. "I had to learn how to learn, which helped me learn how to teach."
One lesson from college that he will never forget came from waterskiing legend Kris LaPoint—a pro that Stisher dubs "the Michael Jordan of waterskiing"—who arrived at the university to coach a team clinic. Stisher was elected to pilot the boat while LaPoint skied, and his skill behind the wheel landed him a ticket to ride with the man. "He said, 'You drive well enough. I'm going somewhere to coach tomorrow. Can you go with me?'"
That day left an awestruck Stisher in its wake, and even now—though he and LaPoint have since competed together and become friends—he recalls the story with light in his eyes and excitement in his voice. But Stisher was given more than just the thrill of a celebrity encounter; he discovered a deeper understanding of the mechanics of mentoring. "As a coach, Kris never said anything the first 10 minutes you were skiing. He just collected notes in his head, even writing them down. That's what I try to do now," explains Stisher, who doesn't speak quickly, but instead watches his students intently. "I want to see what you do before I talk about what you do. I learned that from Kris LaPoint."
After graduation, with a goal to compete professionally as well as coach, Stisher headed to Charleston's Trophy Lakes, where he'd held a summer job during college. "I think my coaching took off before my skiing," he notes, recalling that he had some initial difficulty getting students because he wasn't yet competing in professional events. "So I would tell them: 'Let me coach you. If you feel you got something out of it, pay for the instruction. If not, just pay as if you took a ski ride." Slowly, his regular teaching roster began to grow.
When a ski club from Philadelphia approached the young coach about what he would charge to come teach at their site for a few days, he was flabbergasted. "I'd never done that, but I didn't want to show my cards, so I said, 'Well, normally...' and just made up a figure," Stisher laughs. "They didn't blink." His days of travelling the globe to coach ensued, and his passport has since been stamped for ski sessions in Mexico, Chile, Europe, and beyond. The H2Osmosis training facility also hosts skiers from around the world who make the trek to South Carolina to practice under Stisher's tutelage.
As both a coach and a teacher—Stisher considers them distinctive roles—he's encountered many types of skiers, from beginners who've never set a ski-booted foot behind a boat to pros that he later faces off with in cutthroat competitions. He even had his four-year-old daughter, Madalyn, up on skis at 19 months. "I waited until she asked to ski, which was when she was 18 months old," he says. "She could say it, and she pointed to it, and she knew what she wanted." Stisher started off pulling her by hand on training skis in the grass, then moved to the edge of the lake, where he ran through the shallow water with the blonde toddler trailing behind. Finally, she was ready to climb behind the boat. On a separate towrope, Stisher skied directly behind Madalyn to help get her up on the takeoff, then moved out to ski alongside her. "I was hanging out, going nine miles an hour, killing myself, but she loved it," he says. With his wife of almost six years, Mary Ann, expecting a baby boy in late September, the couple may soon have their hands full with another budding skier.
And though the kids may or may not follow in their father's professional wake, Stisher's had plenty of opportunities to work with top talents, such as professionals Carly Clifton, Natalie Hamrick, and Tom Brantley. "Most great athletes do not make great coaches; Seth is an exception," says Kreg Korinek, an amateur skier whom Stisher works with in Arizona.
"When I think of Seth, it's always chin up, chest out. The result is that you turn more buoys," says long-time local student Yancey Williams. "But if you get too big for your bindings, Seth can always speed it up or shorten the line and bring you back to slalom reality—always with a smile."
It's when Stisher talks about the "oh, wow" flashes that accompany sessions with beginners, though, that his love for teaching becomes apparent. "I get as much of a thrill out of a student's accomplishments as my own. Sometimes, it's more fun to coach the skier who doesn't have much experience because of the moments when they just learned something and it's a whole new world. They think, 'I can be as good as the great guy.'"

If you've followed the "tips for improving your battery life" thread, then you've probably seen me post. I picked up my Thunderbolt on launch day more than a week ago, and here is what I have experienced.
The first two to three days I got around 4 hours of life after adjusting settings. My settings remain the same...
Screen - 1% (dimmest it can go)
Syncing - Only emails arrive instantly, friendstream is off, weather is 30 minutes
Widgets - Battery life, HTC clock/weather
Installed the app that kills apps on starup (not task killer)
Middle of last week though, something changed. I was getting over 12 hours of charge with 4+ hours of screen on time plus talking. wow! I was doing this dancedroid and living the good life.
Two days ago however, it all went back. I have changed no settings, go no new places.. and always on 4G as usual. Now I'm at 3.5 hours of battery life, if I'm lucky. I'm at 75% battery life right now with 1.5 hours since unplugged, 7 minutes of screen on time and 2 minutes of voice calls.
Defective battery? Possibly. I hope it's not a defective handset, because I really don't want to start all over with apps (mostly angry birds.....)
Hopefully my problems can help you. Good luck.

While there are plenty of topics on the lost Kingdoms of Orr, Elonia, and the Margonites I do not see many of the surviving kingdoms of Ascalon and Kyrta. What happens after we leave, what is the history of Ascalonian cities, Kyrtan cities, what is the fate of the Ascalonian settlement? These things interest me a great deal and I was wondering if there are any plans to investigate them.
23-06-2006, 18:17 #6
There are many topics on Kryta, and many on Ascalon in relation to it's Catacombs, the Searing, and the Charr.
The history of the Ascalonian cities can be easily obtained in game from the quest, "The Cities of Ascalon". (I believe that's the title.)|||Quintus Antonius Adepphius Philologus Tyrianicus Canthacus Elonacus Durheimus|||

JACKSONVILLE — By the time you finish that second helping of banana pudding at lunch today, Jacksonville State should have a pretty good idea what its two-deep depth chart is going to look like for the Arkansas game.
JSU coach Jack Crowe said Tuesday the chart is about 80 percent complete with "probably 10 bubble guys" making up the difference. The Gamecocks were expected to work those players later in the day to make that determination.
"We made a few adjustments in the two-deep (Monday) and have today to validate whether they're going to stick," Crowe said.
There were at least two so-called "litmus tests" — one on each side of the ball — the coaching staff was eager to see.
Prior to that, the Gamecocks did make five lineup adjustments after Saturday's scrimmage that have stuck — all on defense.
The most radical was moving true freshman quarterback Eli Jenkins to safety.
The others include moving safety Brooks Robinson to linebacker, outside linebacker Erick Butler to defensive end, cornerback Aries Lockhart to safety and giving Blake Glaze a home at will linebacker.
Jenkins' skill set as a quarterback has been compared favorably to former JSU All-American Montressa Kirby, but with fifth-year senior Marques Ivory, junior Coty Blanchard and third-year sophomore Steven Coates all ahead of him in the pecking order he wasn't expected to play this year. But he is too athletic to be left behind.
He's not the first quarterback the Gamecocks have moved to the secondary (think Robinson and Brooks Barron). And that doesn't mean he'll stay there.
"He may go back, because he's a really talented quarterback," Crowe said. "But like with Maurice Mullins — and I told Eli when I signed him — his talent is such we're going to try to get him on the field, so that's what that's about.
"That doesn't mean he won't play quarterback again one day; he's a talent. I really don't think we'd be doing credit to him or it'd be in the best interest of this program if we put him in the long-term pipeline. The pipeline for a quarterback is so critical, you sort of bite the bullet sometime."
There also is some movement underway in the offensive line, but it's more about deciding which positions guys will play to produce the most solid group of five.
The preseason FCS Coaches Poll — the second of the two major FCS top 25s — is expected to be released today. Crowe is one of the two Ohio Valley Conference coaches on the panel this year (along with Murray State's Chris Hatcher).
Crowe confirmed he voted reigning national champion North Dakota State and runner-up Sam Houston 1-2 on his ballot. He also voted for three OVC teams, but wouldn't disclose their identities (presumably they're Eastern Kentucky, Murray and Tennessee Tech). He's prohibited from voting for his own team.
The Gamecocks were No. 22 in the preseason Sports Network poll and Crowe said it would "bother me" if they weren't in the top 25 of the Coaches Poll.
"I just want us to be on the radar screen so we can be recognized when we do something, because I do thnk we're going to make a move somewhere this year," he said. "I think we're going to help ourselves. I don't know when."

Library news and happenings.
The awards and "best of" season continues in the entertainment and publishing fields. The Library of Michigan just announced the "2013 Michigan Notable Books."
This designation began in 1991. Each year 20 books published during the previous year are featured. The books are about, or set in Michigan or the Great Lakes region, or are written by a native or resident of our state. Fiction and nonfiction titles with a wide appeal on an array of topics are selected.
In the news release announcing this year's choices, our state librarian, Nancy Robertson, wrote that "this program successfully shines the spotlight on the number of talented writers and illustrators we have in Michigan; these books help tell Michigan's story."
By coincidence, I happened to be reading Detroit City Is the Place to Be, one of this year's selections. I've also added several titles to my ever-growing list of books I'd like to read.
I hope your reading year is off to a good start; mine is.
I'm pleased to share some good news… KPL was one of three libraries in the state to be recognized for excellence in customer service by our state librarian at last week's state conference in Detroit.
Hopkins District Library joined us in receiving "Citations of Excellence." A middle school library in the Howell Public Schools won the "State Librarian's Excellence Award."
Our recognition was based on our Customer Service Plan set in 2007 and sustained by a staff committee that continues to define, measure, recognize, and reward staff for excellence in customer service. We most recently revised our plan to include a "Code of Service" that outlines and defines the level of service expected from our staff.
An important dimension of our customer service is our collaboration and partnership with other community organizations, especially Kalamazoo Public Schools. All KPS first graders visit a KPL location three times during the year, "First Saturday @ KPL" encourages families to make library visits part of their weekend routine, and "Lift Up Through Literacy" includes education and literacy initiatives for families.
We are honored to be recognized for this state honor.
The Michigan eLibrary, known as MeL, just celebrated its 20th birthday.
MeL was launched in 1992, just as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was funding computers for libraries and internet became affordable through the e-rate program. MeL provided the content.
MeL's centerpiece is a collection of databases that support homework, small business, job searches, and general informational inquiries. There are now over 1,000,000 full-text article retrievals each year.
MeLCat, the state wide catalog for interlibrary loan, includes the holdings of 415 participating libraries. Each year, there are also over 1,000,000 requests for materials to be shared statewide, by sending the item to a user's home library or by sending the user to the home library of the item, if it cannot be loaned.
Our statewide system is considered a model of efficiency in the tech world. MeL users consider it a model of the good use of federal money to benefit library services.
Happy 20th birthday to MeL from the 140 year old KPL! It's a month of library birthdays.
A recent library publication included some statistics to show "its's an 'e' world". Some of them seemed worth sharing:
• 2,267,233,742 - Internet users worldwide
• 644,275,754 – number of websites as of March 2012
• 47,097 – magazines, newspapers, newsletters, TV/radio transcripts around the world that offer online full text, up from about 5,500 in 2000
• 112 – number of e-mails sent and received each day by the typical user
• 183% - increase in public library e-book collections in the past year
Of course KPL's holdings reflect this shift to an 'e' world also. These statistics are from our annual report to the Library of Michigan submitted earlier this year:
• 1,352 – downloadable audio items
• 4,184 – e-books available
• 16 – database subscriptions
Most of our holdings are still in "physical units": print books, DVDs, CDs, but we are increasingly moving to the 'e' world also.
Come visit soon – through our website for e-resources or any of our buildings.
Bobbe Luce, the director of ONEplace@KPL, our nonprofit management support center, was honored last week as one of five 2012 YWCA Women of Achievement. Congratulations on this well deserved recognition, Bobbe.
Bobbe joined the KPL staff about 3 ½ years ago to establish this resource center with the goal of "developing and operating a nonprofit management support center designed to address the capacity-building needs of the nonprofit organizations in Kalamazoo County." Although part of the library organizational structure, the service is funded by local foundations, primarily the Kalamazoo Community Foundation and the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation.
100% of survey responses from nonprofits who have participated in educational programs or networking opportunities, used the resources on the website, checked out materials from the collection, or received one-on-one assistance rate the service as "very satisfying" or "excellent." Clearly this service is meeting a community need.
On behalf of the library, thank you, Bobbe, for leading this community service.
This is the week of the 9th annual Teen Filmmaker Festival; Sunday, February 26, 2:30 pm at Rave Motion Pictures in downtown Kalamazoo.
As in years past, we put out the call for teen-produced and directed films by Michigan teens from 13—18 years old. Films from the finalists will be shown at this special event, open to movie fans of all ages.
Prizes will be awarded for best film, best animation, best experimental film, best documentary, best short film, best technical merit, best music video, and judges' choice; the people's choice award will be chosen by the audience.
If past years are any indication, there will be a wide variety of creative films with interesting technical effects, some funny, some serious. I expect to once again be amazed by what these teens have produced.
Although the festival is free, tickets are needed. The Rave will be distributing tickets on a first-come, first served basis on Sunday, the day of the festival, beginning at 11 am when they open.
See you there.
Last week I wrote about our recent birthday party to celebrate the 115th anniversary of Children's Services at KPL. I also wrote that 2012 is a milestone year for many of our services with more celebrations ahead.
Well, I didn't have in mind that January 10 was the 7th birthday for MeLCat, our statewide shared catalog and the basis for interlibrary loan. Each month we borrow about 1,300 items for our patrons from other libraries AND we loan about the same number to other libraries across the state. A delivery service moves the items within days to wherever they are needed, then back to the home library.
Patrons can place their own holds and be notified when the item is ready to be picked up at their home library. If we don't have what you need, it may be available through MeLCat.
Happy 7th birthday MeLCat!
Several weeks ago, I wrote about library funding threats with the proposal to eliminate personal property tax. The issue continues to receive media attention across the state but most of the coverage does not mention that personal property tax (PPT) is a critical source of local library funding.
The legislature will take up this issue in January. The library community is committed to informing our legislators and our patrons of the importance of this revenue source and what it would mean if it was eliminated and not replaced.
Personal property tax is a tax paid by businesses, not individuals or homeowners. It is based on the tangible or physical assets of a business such as office furniture, computers, industrial machinery and equipment, copy and fax machines. It is not a tax on land and buildings.
About 10%, $1.2 million, of our revenue is from personal property tax. If PPT was eliminated and not replaced by a guaranteed, stable funding source for libraries, KPL would be forced to make significant reductions in our programs and services, in addition to those we have already made. We would further reduce services hours at all locations, eliminate adult programming and reduce youth programming, have fewer public computers , buy fewer new materials…..basically all services would be reduced, with some eliminated.
KPL, like most libraries, is increasingly busy. Our circulation is up 31% in the first six months of the year; computer use, patron assistance, attendance at events – all up.
The library community is advocating "replace, don't erase" the personal property tax. If eliminated, it needs to be replaced. Our board of trustees has adopted a resolution supporting that approach.
Please ask your state representative or senator to fully replace the tax, consider writing a letter to the editor, and share this library threat with others.
It is the time of year when we all received many solicitations for a wide range of good and worthy causes.
The library does not conduct an annual fundraising campaign nor send out a solicitation request but, of course, donations are always welcome and greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, from our perspective, charitable contributions to nonprofits, like the library, were eliminated in Michigan's tax reforms for 2012. That means this year, 2011, is the last year your cash donation to the library could earn up to a 50% Michigan tax credit.
Currently, a maximum gift of $400 to the library by a married couple filing jointly earns a Michigan tax credit of $200. With the similar federal deduction, the actual cost of that $400 gift is just $76.
A donation to the library can be designated for a specific collection, such as large print or children's; a location such as your neighborhood branch; or a service such as Ready to Read, Reading Together, adult programming. Undesignated gifts are directed where they are needed most.
We appreciate if you think of the library when you are considering your year-end giving, keeping in mind the change in the tax laws for next year.
As I have often written, each day and week has some special designation, many relevant to libraries. This week, November 13–19, is the 90th anniversary of "American Education Week."
The goal of this designated week is to "inform the public of the accomplishments and needs of schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs."
KPL is particularly proud of our relationship with Kalamazoo Public Schools. As I previously wrote in this blog and in our newsletter LINK, all KPS first graders recently visited one of our libraries and were given their own library card. We are now in the midst of their second visit to return the books they checked out and hopefully to begin a pattern of regular library visits.
We are now preparing for the "Global Reading Challenge," a battle of the books type program for fourth and fifth graders; we just concluded this year's "Youth Literature Seminar" focusing on teen literature; and, of course, we have many resources for students at all grade levels, both in print and online.
We applaud our colleagues in education and join them in supporting student learning and achievement.

My name is Raphael Semmes, and I'm glad to be a part of our community. By way of introduction, I grew up in Savannah, graduated from "the original" Savannah High School, went off to college at the Universities of Virginia (Charlottesville) and Georgia (Athens), came home after graduate school and the death of my father, and unexpectedly wound up taking his place as treasurer and credit manager for the family's wholesale hardware business.
Last week, the NAACP held a rally in support of having former Liberty County tax commissioner Carolyn Brown paroled.
With $7 trillion in wealth disappearing in the U.S. last year, it hasn't been a banner time for anyone involved in the financial markets. But it may be the Securities and Exchange Commission that has taken the biggest bath.
The Senate returned to session last week with all eyes and ears on the first bills and resolutions of the session. Most notable were bills on transportation, zero-based budgeting and tougher restrictions for metal theft crimes. However, the two major issues on everyone's mind were the Homeowner Tax Relief Grant (HTRG) funding and capping property taxes.
Anyone who thought Democrats and Republicans in Washington would join hands and skip into the sunset together on the Yellow Brick Road must have been dreaming.
This first person account of Barack Obama's presidential inauguration was delayed when I got caught up in the crowd of an estimated 2 million people trying to leave Washington, D.C., at the same time. Thanks to the overtaxed metro system, it took me nearly six hours to make the 18-minute trip back to Arlington, Va., where I was staying.
From what I read in this and other newspapers around the world is that everybody's broke or are going to be soon.
The news out of Atlanta in recent weeks has been how the state is going to deal with a shortfall in the current budget year. Lawmakers are there trying to figure that out now. State law prohibits deficit spending, so our represenatives are trying to figure out what to do. The question is why does the state have a $2 billion deficit?"
On Jan. 12, the 150th legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly was gaveled open as members of the House of Representatives and members of the Senate were sworn in for our legislative duties. This process repeats itself every two years following the elections, and the winners of the 180 districts in the House and 56 districts in the Senate are seated to serve their district and state.
If you believe President Obama inherited a truckload of problems from George W. Bush, consider what the next Georgia governor faces.
As the 2009 Legislative Session convenes, we are addressing issues that are being discussed around kitchen tables throughout the state. As Georgians in every corner of our state closely watch their bottom lines during this economic downturn, it will also be a tough session for lawmakers.
It's getting to the point where every time I watch The View, I have to take a tranquilizer and lie down to keep my head from imploding or exploding or just unscrewing and rolling across the floor.
If we are to continue Georgia's growth and prosperity, we must solve our transportation issues for the entire state. Adding a lane along a busy interstate, extending a rail line by a couple of miles or simply allowing Metro Atlanta to tax itself won't solve our problems.
At least the word "trillion" still has cachet as denoting a lot of money. "Billion" has been surpassed during the past few months, and "million" has long been positively quaint.
In the spring of 1972, the plaintiffs in Acree v. Richmond County Board of Education petitioned the federal court to find the board of education in contempt for not complying with the desegregation orders of Federal District Judge Alexander Lawrence. The contempt motion was assigned to U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Griffin B. Bell.
Even by my impossibly high standards, this has been a good week. It began with a whack upside the head from a reader in South Georgia after I opined that those who want to change the way we teach our children in public schools ought to have their kids in public schools. I was referring to the efforts led by Sen. William Ligon, R-Brunswick, to overturn the Common Core curriculum in the recent legislative session.
Having had time to reflect on the recently completed 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly, it is with great regret that I have to say it was the most embarrassing performance by your state legislature that I can remember.
Sometimes, I think I focus too much on the litter. But it is the nature of what I do.
Editor, I travel a lot and have written on the subject of gun rights before. Recently in Atlanta, they locked down a school because a neighbor was squirrel hunting nearby. Those people in Sandy Hook, Conn., are getting a new school because one of their own citizens committed murder there. Pretty soon, local commissioners are going to be sending drones through the community to look for zoning violations.
Editor, April marks the nation's "Month of the Military Child" - a time to honor youth and their service to our country. On Tuesday, April 15, as a visible way to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices, the public is invited to "Purple Up! For Military Kids." Everyone in the community is encouraged to wear purple shirts, scarves, shoes, buttons and pants. If it's purple, or can be turned purple, make it happen.
It happened recently - the 20th anniversary of stock-car racer Davey Allison's death. Maybe you remember him. Maybe you don't. But I shall never forget him.
There is nothing more important than the safety and protection of innocent children. Not constitutional rights, not animal rights, not thoughts, opinions, feelings or political beliefs. The lives of children must be given top priority.

During November 2011, a team of marine scientists and environmental reporters embarked on a pioneering research expedition along the remote west coast of Madagascar. Based aboard a traditional Malagasy wooden sailing dhow, the international team surveyed the health and biodiversity of the Barren Isles, a 100 km long chain of coral islands off the west coast of the Madagascar. The team worked above and below the water to support the conservation of one of the Mozambique Channel's remotest and least known coral reef archipelagos.
Live map of the route
View Barren Isles exploratory expedition in a larger map
Expected itinerary
The expedition was at sea for three weeks, sailing from the town of Morondava. During the voyage marine biologists collected important scientific data, documenting local conservation issues, and raised awareness of the conservation value of marine resources. Throughout the voyage the expedition reported its findings online through this blog, also producing films and news reports documenting threats to the region's spectacular marine life, and investigating the impacts of climate change on the archipelago's fragile marine environment.
"This cruise will be the first of its kind in Madagascar, giving us an unprecedented opportunity to share our incredible marine heritage with the public & to engage people in communicating conservation messages."
-Mialy Andriamahefazafy, Environmental Policy Officer
The eight-person team included international marine biologists, photographers, film-makers and journalists – all helping to increase environmental awareness by sharing stories about marine conservation issues through radio and film.

Team members
Dr Alasdair Harris: I am a marine biologist based in Madagascar where my work focuses on supporting Blue Ventures' various conservation initiatives around the island. Usually confined to a desk job in Madagascar's capital Antananarivo, I am being allowed out of the office to board Nofy Be and help out on the expedition as a coral ecologist.
George (Bic) Manahira: Having dived recently in the Barren Islands I am looking forward to being part of the first team documenting their health and I am excited to return with photographs, films and stories that we can use to inspire others to learn more about this amazing place in which we live.
Charlie Gough: This research cruise to the Barren islands will be the first time that anyone has systematically explored and documented the status of the reefs of this region, and I'm looking forward to keeping you all updated with the characters, creatures and stories great and small that we encounter on our route!
Claude Farandriaka: Being part of this expedition to survey the Barren islands and communicate the results with the local community and the rest of the world will be an important event in my life. I look forward to learning a great deal with a multidisciplinary and professional team of scientists, reporters, and cameramen.
Dr Garth Cripps: I'm particularly interested in the human story behind conservation and followed the Vezo migration to the Barren Isles in 2009. Their migration epitomises many of the challenges that they face: driven by poverty and the collapse of their local fisheries, they sail thousands of kilometres from their homes to find still productive fishing grounds.
Jon Schleyer: This is my third trip to the west coast of Madagascar to see the great progress being made by the communities towards sustaining their marine resources. It is two and a half years since I was last in the area so I am excited to see what developments have occurred after my previous visit.
Mialy Andriamahefazafy: As the environmental policy officer I am in charge of ensuring that all our projects are evolving in a beneficial legal framework. This trip represents a very important opportunity. Through the different communications media that we will employ, we will be able to share the fabulous marine diversity that we see with the public.
Tanguy Nicolas: It is not easy to bring change in such a remote place – communication with the rest of the country is difficult. So having the opportunity to embark on a scientific expedition and share the outputs with the local community, using local radio and video, will be a positive fresh wind.
Thomas: I grew up in the Malagasy village of Andavadoaka with my three brothers and my very large Vezo family. I want to help the Vezo understand that if we can work together now, we can keep fishing in the future. As the fishermen run to find more fish, we will be running alongside to teach them.
Dr Yann Frejaville: This research cruise aboard the Nofy Be is a privilege and a unique opportunity to explore and study reefs presenting very low levels of fishing pressure – perhaps pristine reefs- an experience that has unfortunately become a rare and precious resource in the world.

When it comes to memorable band names, we've heard some good ones: The Moldy Peaches, Butthole Surfers, and, of course, Chumbawamba.
But newcomer Freelance Whales is our fave — and the music lives up to the awesomeness of the moniker.
In today's video, they perform "Generator 2nd Floor" from their amazing new album, Weathervanes. To prove how great they are, we got 'em to play acoustically in an apartment hallway — no fancy sound mixing required.
The group honed their skills on the streets and subways of NYC, where they still play at the Bedford L stop on occasion.
If you want to see them live, they're touring nationally through May 21.
For more information and tour dates, go to myspace.com/freelancewhales. Buy the album online at itunes.com.
Shiny forehead, freak grimace, bulging eyes — you've got an uncanny ability to ruin a photo. And thanks to Facebook tagging, the entire world can witness your awkward mugging until the end of time.
You could avoid cameras altogether. Or you could just watch today's video, with its simple tips for looking great in pictures.
Our expert, Sardi Klein, longtime NYC photographer and professor at The School of Visual Arts and Pratt, has seen it all, from mothers of the bride who peer skyward to avoid double chins to businessmen whose phony smiles turn head shots into mug shots.
Follow her advice, and the next time someone tags you in a photo, you might just share instead of hide.

Up to 55% off Coralia Leets Jewelry designer Coralia Leets knows about staying power. Made of chunky stones and hammered metal, her necklaces and earrings are modern heirlooms. And since they're up to 55% off on our sample site (with free shipping through July 5), they're pretty and practical.
Tonight will probably be filled with bad decisions (that last glass of champers, for starters).
Ring in 2011 with at least a little dignity by avoiding the drunken late-night ponytail. You can stay classy all night long with the perfect messy bun, courtesy of NYC's Fox & Boy salon (and one of our favorite how-to videos of the year).
Because even if you want to be a hot mess, your hair doesn't have to be.
Not feeling the messy bun? Try out the around-the-head French braid, modern beehive, or pinned-up curls (for shorter hair).
At your last mealtime gathering, you did everything right: big, pricey steaks; fancy-schmancy china; stimulating conversation cards (what's your animal soul mate?!).
No wonder the whole thing was so awkward.
Next time, take a cue from Tamara Reynolds and Zora O'Neill, the hilarious Astoria-based hostesses with the mostest behind Forking Fantastic: Put the Party Back in Dinner Party.
In today's video, the gals, who've been hosting wildly popular Sunday night shindigs for six years, walk us through dinner party faux pas — and they're not what you'd expect (the tips or the ladies).
You'll feel so inspired, you'll start planning another soiree immediately.
