WASHINGTON -- Chuck Hagel will twist in the wind for at least another week and a half after the Senate fell one vote short Thursday of advancing his nomination as defense secretary.
Senate Republicans said they needed more time to review the nomination, which the Armed Services Committee forwarded to the floor on Tuesday.
"Are we not entitled to have more than two days to consider one of the most important nominations the president has to make?" Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said.
Still, Senate Democrats and the White House slammed the GOP for mounting what they described as an unprecedented filibuster of a defense nominee when the country faces numerous national security threats.
"We need a secretary of defense on the job," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said. "No one knows . . . what foreign challenge will face this country perhaps within the next 10 days. And it would be nice if we had a secretary of defense."
After weeks of bitterly divided debate over Hagel's nomination, the former GOP senator from Nebraska came oh-so-close Thursday to the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican objections and move forward.
PHOTO SHOWCASE: Chuck Hagel through the years
Each of the 55 senators who caucus with the Democrats voted to advance his nomination. So did four Republicans, including Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska. That left Hagel in search of just one more vote.
But he couldn't find it.
Not from Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., who voted against advancing the nomination. And not from Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who voted "present."
Once it became clear that no more yes votes were coming, Reid switched his own vote to "no." It's a common tactic that allows Reid to quickly call for another vote.
In fact, he scheduled another vote Feb. 26, after the Senate returns from a weeklong break. Several Republican senators, including John McCain of Arizona, have said that they would support giving Hagel an up-or-down vote after the recess.
So despite Thursday's setback, Hagel is likely to run the Pentagon by the end of the month.
Three Republicans joined Johanns in voting to move Hagel forward: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Thad Cochran of Mississippi.
Iowa's two senators split along part lines with Democrat Tom Harkin voting in favor of Hagel and Republican Chuck Grassley voting against.
While Fischer had said previously that she had no plans to filibuster Hagel, she also expressed sympathy for colleagues seeking more information and downplayed the harm in waiting a little longer.
Timeline of Chuck Hagel's political career
Spring 1971: Rep. John Y. McCollister (R-Neb.) hires Hagel in his D.C. office on $200 a week.
November 1996: After years in the private sector, Hagel defeats then-Gov. Ben Nelson to win a U.S. Senate seat.
November 2002: Hagel is re-elected to his Nebraska seat, garnering close to 83% of the vote.
September 2007: Hagel announces he'll retire following the conclusion of his second term and not seek the presidency in 2008.
October 2009: President Obama names Hagel a co-chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Council.
January 2013: Obama nominates Hagel, a Vietnam veteran, to succeed Leon Panetta as secretary of defense.
In a statement, the White House said Republicans had put political posturing ahead of national security.
"For the first time in American history, Senate Republicans filibustered a nominee for secretary of defense a member of their own party, a decorated combat veteran, and the right leader for our troops," the statement said. "For the sake of national security, it's time to stop playing politics with our Department of Defense, and to move beyond the distractions and delay.
"Allow this war hero an up or down vote, and let our troops have the Secretary of Defense they deserve."
Prior to the vote, Johanns strongly disagreed with fellow Republicans who said their push for a delay did not represent a filibuster.
"It's a filibuster," Johanns said. "If the Democrats were doing this, we would be hollering that this was a filibuster."
Some of those pushing for the delay said they still sought past speeches by Hagel. And Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has asked for additional financial disclosure information from Hagel, suggesting it's possible that some of his compensation from various corporations or organizations could have come from foreign governments such as Saudi Arabia or North Korea.
Democrats strongly objected to such talk as out-of-bounds. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said there was no evidence to support insinuations that there was anything nefarious with money Hagel received from one major investment fund.
"The innuendo that there's something wrong with that fee and that there might be Saudi or Iranian money into that fee it's a pure innuendo, it's unfair and it's inappropriate," Levin said.
But throughout the day, Republicans kept asking where was the harm in the delay?
Alexander noted that it took him nearly three months to be confirmed after President George H. W. Bush nominated him to be Secretary of Education.
Still, Johanns agreed with Democrats that Hagel needs to get on the job quickly so outgoing Secretary Leon Panetta can leave, particularly with a key conference with military allies coming up next week.
"I just think it's important to have a secretary of defense in place," Johanns said.
Asked about his colleagues' objections, Johanns noted Hagel's penchant for blunt talk.
"Chuck Hagel is a provocative person who says provocative things and he has over the years," Johanns said. "Some say, 'I admire his directness'; others say, 'his statements concern me about the Middle East.' All of that has kind of created an atmosphere where Chuck is working for every single vote. And that's just the reality of where he finds himself."

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Steve Mistler firstname.lastname@example.com
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — A bill that would raise Maine's minimum wage to $9 an hour by 2016 and link it to inflation thereafter drew one step closer to passage Tuesday with a party-line vote in the Senate.
With Democratic support, the Senate approved the bill 19-16 after a fresh round of debate reflecting competing economic and political ideologies.
Democrats contended that raising the minimum wage from the current $7.50 would help the working poor, while Republicans argued that it would hurt the businesses that hire young and unskilled workers.
Sen. Dick Woodbury, an independent from Yarmouth, voted against the bill.
L.D. 611, which was approved last week by the House, requires more procedural votes before going to Gov. Paul LePage. The governor is expected to veto it, but his office has declined to comment on the bill until LePage has had a chance to review it.
The measure reflects a national drive, led largely by Democrats, to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour. President Obama and other Democrats say the present national minimum of $7.25 hasn't kept pace with the rising cost of basic living necessities. They say the increase would boost the purchasing power of low-income Americans and help lift them to the middle class.
Republicans have opposed such measures, saying they are well-intentioned but ineffective at reducing poverty and potentially harmful to small-business owners. A coalition of business groups opposes L.D. 611, including the Maine State Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.
The bill would phase in the wage increase, to $8 an hour in 2014, $8.50 an hour in 2015 and $9 an hour in 2016. The inflation indexing would begin in 2017.
About 20,000 workers were paid at or below minimum wage in Maine in 2011, according to the state Department of Labor.
On Tuesday, Democratic senators said the increase would lift people out of poverty and close the wage gap between men and women.
"We always talk about jobs, jobs, jobs. But it's time to start talking about jobs that pay us a livable wage," said Sen. John Patrick, D-Rumford. "If we want to bring our economy out of recession, we need to make sure people are compensated fairly for their labor."
Sen. Andre Cushing, R-Hampden, said Maine will have the second-highest minimum wage in the country if the bill is enacted.
He said it wouldn't help low-income earners because it would make it harder for businesses to hire young and low-skilled people entering the work force.
Maine is one of 18 states with minimum wages above the federal minimum of $7.25, according to U.S. Department of Labor Statistics. Twenty-three other states are weighing legislation to increase their minimum wages, according to an assessment by the National Conference of State Legislatures on Feb. 13.
The liberal Economic Policy Institute recently projected that increasing the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour would generate $60 billion in new household spending in two years.
However, some economists have argued that raising the minimum wage during a recession would stunt business growth and make it more difficult for businesses to hire young, inexperienced and unskilled workers.
Sen. Brian Langley, R-Ellsworth, said that employing fewer young workers would hurt businesses and the state's social fabric. He paraphrased the economist Milton Friedman, who once blamed the federal minimum wage law for driving up unemployment among teenagers.

No, it means there is too much bureaucracy and red tape. Also not enough money being invested in catching cheats and far too much politics. The IAAF, WADA and the IOC have to decide what they want to spend money on, and unfortunately they are not doing enough and spending enough to catch cheats, because it's not always in their interest to do so.
Wrong! There is not enough money within WADA or any of the ADA's to test in a way that would satisfy you, so to call it red tape when the mandate is to grow/market/develop a dying sport is off in the margins. WADA and USADA have every reason to catch cheats because it is the only way they can justify their existence. And, the bigger the catch, the more complex the snare, the more relevant the organization. Trust me they have FEASTED off of BALCO and continue to digest the remains of that sorry carcass. IAAF and IOC have much lesser roles in testing these days, but the IAAF is much more conscientious than the IOC in my opinion.

Anyone had any luck/attempts at getting any modules added to apache on the iPhone? I'm most interested in PHP, but I'm curious about any other modules as well.
I'm also wondering if there's anything beyond the bare-bones ruby in the available distro. I can't get irb running, and gems seem out of the question right now. I notice there seems to be shells for some tools (eg: webrick), but nothing else.
I'm trying to get some kind of web app running on the iphone, but need a database to back it and some middleware.

All proceeds from Cupcakes for Critters fund spaying and neutering for Calhoun County pets from low-income families. Every year, thousands of unwanted dogs and cats are put to death in our area, not to mention those who starve, die of disease or are killed on roads and highways. Occasionally, a rescuer comes along, but that is the exception. Birth prevention is the most humane, proactive way to solve this tragic problem. Since SAVE's inception in 2009, this group has funded close to 1,000 surgeries.
What you can do
• Support "Cupcakes for Critters" and the many other SAVE fundraisers throughout the year.
• If you know of those repeat offenders who continue to allow their pets to reproduce, refer them to SAVE.
• Consider adopting a pet, rather than shopping.
• Volunteer at a local shelter, such as the Animal Shelter, League for Animal Welfare or Calhoun County Animal Control Center.
• Donate to SAVE at www.alsave.org or P. O. Box 2246, Anniston, AL 36202.
• Support animal-friendly legislation (contact our local delegation and visit www.alabamavotesforanimals.org to find out more).
• Educate others about spaying and neutering.
There is no charge to attend Cupcakes for Critters, but a $5 donation is suggested (although more would be greatly appreciated!). In case of rain, the event will take place at the same time Saturday. Come out, enjoy the lovely garden, delicious cupcakes, and meet a rescued dog or kitty — very well behaved and available for adoption.

Grammar wrote:"The chances are that you two won't agree" = no kidding? Is that not a reason why this website exists in the first palce? People commonly discuss the points they disagree on.
I don't think we agree on this, so here is what I think the forum is for.
Throughout history, if you questioned the status quo belief system, it was a time of change, or you were starting a movement. Either way, you would be labelled an outsider, infidel or apostate and you were removed, possibly permanently. We live in a time of rapid change and fortunately in a time that values ideas. If the value of ideas gets much lower, I fear the consequences. The last century should have taught us what can happen.
So, this forum is "removed" from the public square of "God bless you" and 10 commandments monuments and "shall we pray" and "what church do you go to". When you enter here, there is usually an expectation that you will present your beliefs clearly and provide evidence for why you hold them. If you can't give a concise answer to what "faith" is or what "spirituality" is, you will probably not get much respect. Since no one I know has ever given an answer to those, here or anywhere, just using the words at all is suspect.
I'm not saying you are not welcomed here. I was just listening to Chris Mooney talk about how all people need to learn to frame their discussions so they can be understood. I may think a Christian has a blockage in their head that allows them to accept the virgin birth, but if they can supply 50 people to help me send food to Haiti, I need to avoid that and find common ground so we can work together.
If you are attempting to increase understanding, that's great. If you are attempting to convince me there is such as thing as "knowledge by faith", good luck.

Donald Dewayne Gooden Jr., 26, of Anniston, was charged with first-degree kidnapping, a felony.
Anniston police Sgt. Chris Sparks said officers were called Sunday afternoon to help Weaver police during a vehicle pursuit. Sparks said the pursuit began when Gooden crashed his car near 64th Street and Gallatin Drive. Sparks said that after the wreck, Gooden flagged down the 31-year-old woman and got into the backseat of her car. Sparks said the victim did not know Gooden.
Gooden yelled at the woman to drive, Sparks said, and directed her to stop near the Weaver High School.
The woman complied, Sparks said, and called police when Gooden exited her car.
Sparks said Anniston and Weaver police found the suspect outside at 917 Clairmont Dr. in Weaver. Gooden was apprehended at the scene.
Sparks said details of what happened when Gooden got into the car were still under investigation today. No injuries were reported, the sergeant said.
Gooden was still in the Anniston City Jail this afternoon. Bond and a court date have yet to be set.

Inside Job1 of 7
By Jessica Baumgardner
We all attempt to be our most presentable selves on the job—hair brushed, clothes pressed, breath minty, you get the picture. But say you're in the middle of a big meeting, and you catch a glimpse of yourself—with kale salad wedged in your teeth. Confidence? Dashed. To help you avoid a self-esteem crisis, we've identified six common beauty setbacks women face at work, as well as clever solutions to deal with them fast.
Wet Hair2 of 7
You woke up late, and you can't face your colleagues with sodden locks. Pull damp hair into a bun with a doughnut-shaped bun maker, says Kym Douglas, beauty expert for The Ellen DeGeneres Show and author of The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets. She likes Hot Buns, Mia Beauty's bun maker and Conair's version. These tools act as wet-set curlers too—take out the bun for relaxed, bouncy curls. (Just make sure you don't wake up late again, missy.)
SHOP NOW: Hot Buns, $10, hotbuns.com; Mia Beauty Bun Ease, $5, miabeauty.com; Conair Bun Maker, $5, ulta.com
Sweat Stains3 of 7
Everybody sweats, but it's still a huge embarrassment when you look like post-workout Rocky in your silk blouse. "I have a teenage son, so I'm an expert on this subject," says Douglas. "I have tried everything and the only thing that works is SweatBlock. It's a clinical strength antiperspirant in a pre-soaked towelette that you blot under your arms before bed. The sweat is gone for one week!" If you have sensitive skin, just be sure to test a patch of skin before using.
SHOP NOW: SweatBlock Antiperspirant, $16, sweatblock.com
Shiny Skin4 of 7
By midday, your complexion is looking greasy, not glowy. Head for the restroom. "Did you know that toilet seat covers are made of the same material as those expensive blotting papers?" says Douglas. "Another one of my favorite degreasing tricks is to mix equal parts rose water and spring water in a travel-size spray bottle and spritz on your face for a gorgeous glow, sexy scent and dewy (not oily) look."
Raccoon Eyes5 of 7
With mascara, the right product is key, says Douglas, who relies on Cherry Blooms mascara. "It's sweat and cry-proof, and stays on all day," she says. Since it's made with natural beeswax, you can wash it off with warm water. Under-eye concealer also plays a part (moist makeup feels luxe, but worsens mascara migration). Douglas' pick is Star Hollywood Cosmetics' concealer, which offers coverage without caking.
SHOP NOW: Cherry Blooms Extensions, $69, cherryblooms.com.au; Star Hollywood Cosmetics Concealer, $12, starhollywoodcosmetics.com
Chipped Nails6 of 7
A chipped mani isn't a good look when you've got a client presentation looming. No time to fix your paint job? Douglas slathers Edible Haven's organic coconut oil on her nails and cuticles every night: "It gives the polish a shiny coat, and moisturizes the nail bed to prevent them from peeling and chipping. My manicures last a lot longer this way." It also helps to keep nail polish remover wipes in your drawer—try Josie Maran's grapefruit-scented ones.
SHOP NOW: Edible Haven Coconut Oil, $13, ediblehaven.com; Josie Maran Wipes, $9, sephora.com
Frizzy Hair7 of 7
If you just have a couple of coarse, out-of-control stragglers, "grab a glue stick from the office supply closet, and rub a little onto the flyaways—it's non-toxic and will do the trick, but just be sure to wash it out when you get home!" says Douglas. If your hair regularly poofs up in the afternoon, stash a travel pack of dryer sheets in your desk. "Running a dryer sheet down the length of your hair helps to tame strands, just like it stops static in your clothes."

Visiting Burkle Center Fellow Dalia Dassa Kaye comments on the sale of U.S. bombs to Israel on NPR's All Things Considered
Dalia Dassa Kaye speaks with NPR's Mike Shuster regarding the sale of deep-earth penetrator bombs, or "bunker busters," to Israel in 2009.
Published: Friday, September 30, 2011
Excerpt from NPR article by Mike Shuster:
"Dalia Dassa Kaye, a fellow at UCLA's Burkle Center and a specialist on Iran, doesn't think so. She argues it was part of Israeli preparedness.
'Israel clearly wants all the capabilities that are necessary to have a military option on the table,' Kaye says. 'They always want to show they can do it; but whether they really want to do it is an open question.'
Kaye also thinks this was a motive for President Obama's support.
'There are some in the Obama administration who may have expected to get more,' she says. 'Not that it was a direct linkage. But they may have expected that given the extensive defense cooperation that they have been engaged [in] with the Israelis, that would buy them some political leverage. And they no doubt were disappointed.' "

text: This is one of our first arrivals from the highly regarded 2010 vintage, and if the delectable style of this modestly priced petite château is any indication, wine lovers are going to be arguing for decades over which is the greater vintage, 2010 or 2009. Made from a blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Cabernet Franc, this fruit-forward wine, from the northern part of the Entre Deux Mers appellation, is made by Jean Lobre and his two sons, whose family has owned Bellevue Rougier for four generations. Absolutely ready to drink now, this easy-drinking Bordeaux offers oodles of soft, spicy fruit, lightly seasoned by notes of red berries, Provençal herbs, and cedar. Although it has sufficient stuffing to match with main courses of meat or poultry, this wine is also delicious by itself or with light cheeses.

I'll get back to those questions later. For now, I'll just tell you that you would know the answers to at least two of them if you were a fourth-grader who has participated in the National Canal Museum's Immersion Days field trip at Hugh Moore Park.

I'm substantially older than most fourth-graders, but I immersed myself with a group of kids from the Quakertown School District's Pfaff Elementary School Thursday, and I learned a lot.
I also discovered that I know a lot less than many of these children, who have been studying the "Tales of the Towpath" elementary school curriculum developed by the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor to introduce young students to local and Pennsylvania history.
"Tales of the Towpath" is a great children's book, written by Heritage Corridor outreach coordinator Dennis Scholl and illustrated by Dennis Gerhart, about a young Irish boy named Finn Gorman and his family and their lives as Lehigh Canal boat operators. It's a wonderful teaching tool for a variety of subjects, but what I like best is that it helps children understand what life was like for kids their age — right here in the Lehigh Valley — 160 years ago.
The curriculum was developed in 2006 by a volunteer team of educators and historians and introduced as a pilot program in two Allentown School District classes. It has continued to grow, with 66 schools representing 4,500 students enrolled in the program this school year. You can learn all about it, including a cool audiobook and lots more features, by visiting the Delaware & Lehigh's website, http://www.delawareandlehigh.org.http://www.delawareandlehigh.org/
I wrote last year about pupils at Roosevelt Elementary School, Allentown, who prepared excellent presentations based on the book. But as Pfaff pupil Rucha Tank, 9, told me after a full day of immersion, it's particularly great to spend a day in the real setting of many of the things they've been reading about and seeing so many of them demonstrated. Some 1,900 children will make Immersion Days field trips over the program's five weeks this spring.
Marveling at the way math, physics and social studies were emerging from one lesson on how hard work is made easier, Pfaff teacher Bill Cammann told me, "This is the best integration of our curriculum I've seen."
As I talked with Rucha, Dillon Lines, 9, Raygen Calabria, 10, and the other kids whose group I joined moving from station to station, it was clear that picking just one favorite stop was impossible. For one, it was the blacksmith shop, where I got to join the children making S-hooks. (It's sitting on my desk, my first shop project in about 45 years.) For another, it was the opportunity to grab a rope and actually pull the canal boat Josiah White (no relation), whose weight I'll share in a moment, to demonstrate principles of buoyancy, friction and inertia. For still another, it was the entertaining demonstrations of those simple machines. The kids also seemed to enjoy washing and drying clothes the old-fashioned way, blowing into conch shells to trumpet the boat's arrival — my pathetic effort sounded like I was strangling a goose — playing with 19th century wooden toys and, if the laughter from the boat was any indication, spotting one of their staff members photographing mule poop.
The one thing I had over these kids was that although they got a ride on the Josiah White, I got to walk alongside the mule tenders and learn all about George and Hank, the park's two canal mules. Thanks to tenders Sarah Kline and David Hosler, both of Bethlehem, I discovered that:
• The mules don't like walking in puddles, because their depth perception isn't great and they're worried the water will be deep. "If they have to go through a big puddle, the mule tender has to do it first," Kline told me. Sure enough, I noticed the way the mules kept stepping around the puddles on the path.
• George, who generally is hitched in front of Hank, likes to think he's leading himself, so the tenders usually walk alongside. "If you walk in front of him, he's upset," Hosler said.
• Pulling the boat is pretty easy work for these guys, since two mules can pull 120 tons and the Josiah White — OK, it weighs 48 tons — is only a fraction of that. Outside of a brief tug to get the boat moving and another when they turn around, they're on cruise control. The exception is when they take the longer trip to the canal's only remaining working lock, where they move faster because they know they'll get a chance to graze on grass at the end. "They get a little bit excited," Kline said.
I could tell you lots more about mules, but I need to answer those remaining questions. The machines, as any fourth-grader knows, are the inclined plane, the wedge, the screw, the lever, the axle and the pulley.
And when the mules feel lousy? They sit down and won't work. Kline said, "That's where stubborn as a mule comes from."

Grolsch chooses Alfred as advertising agency (Translation)
25 July 2011
Royal Grolsch N.V.
Enschede, July 12th, 2011
Starting August 2011, beer brewer Grolsch will join forces with advertising agency Alfred. After an expansive market exploration, it became clear that Alfred would be the most suitable advertising partner for Grolsch. Alfred will be playing an important role in communication strategy and creation for the Grolsch brand in the Netherlands.
In the coming years, Grolsch will focus on growth and considers Alfred a strong business partner in this quest. The no-nonsense culture of the agency fits well with the approach that Grolsch envisions. In addition, the work presented by Alfred, its experience and the connection with its team were all deciding factors.
In choosing Alfred, Grolsch ends its long-time collaboration with advertising agency DDB. "For over seven years we've enjoyed a great and intensive collaboration with DDB. They have secured the position of the Grolsch brand in the Dutch market in an excellent manner. Of course it's a shame to have to say goodbye to an agency after such a long and successful collaboration, but we think it's time for a new approach," says Jan Nales, Marketing Director of Grolsch.
Marcel van Wing, Managing Director of Alfred: "Alfred is happy! Let's be honest, Grolsch is a Dutch icon. A mighty beautiful brand that will be great to work for."

Meeting challenges in medication compliance
When I prescribe a psychiatric medication for a patient, I remind him or her to read the label and to follow those instructions to the letter. Taking medications as prescribed, however, can be a challenge. The elderly can become confused and not remember to take their medications. Some need help organizing medications so that they adhere to the prescription.
Today's elderly generation also has a self-reliant outlook that can make them reluctant to take psychiatric medications. When facing depression, however, this attitude can lead to unnecessary suffering. The loss of a loved one and other problems can cause depression in a person who has never experienced it before. Also, if an elderly person has a depressive episode without having a root cause, the problem has a chemical cause and requires medication. Even patients with robust mental health can encounter psychiatric symptoms caused by medications that they take for other conditions. For example, even Benadryl taken over the counter (OTC) has hallucinations as a possible side effect.
I recommend that a patient suffering a first episode of depression stay on an antidepressant for nine months to a year and then taper off if the depression has passed. Once someone has experienced an initial episode of depression, they are at higher risk of having depression again in the future. They have a 50 percent greater likelihood of having a second episode and the odds are increased again after each episode they experience.
Some patients resist taking an antidepressant because the drug can take two or three weeks to reach full effect. Patients feel the side effects before the benefits of the medication. I urge my patients to stick with a medication until it works unless the side effects are intolerable. Many side effects go away after a week.
Outpatient therapy also an option
Besides medication, cognitive therapy helps improve mood. Senior Bridges at Northern Nevada Medical Center treats the mental and the physical health of adults 50 and older. It is designed for short-term care to stabilize and resolve immediate psychological problems.
Sometimes therapy is adequate for people suffering chronic pain or the loss of a loved one, when they just have too many emotional burdens to face alone. If a Senior Bridges patient needs medication though, he or she will have been diagnosed and can feel confident knowing that the need for medication is truly warranted. Senior Bridges also provides a thorough education on medication compliance for its patients.
Learn about drug interactions
I also prescribe medications with an eye to their interaction with other medications and substances. The elderly are more prone to interaction problems because their kidneys and liver sometimes cannot function properly when processing a variety of medications.
Seniors who take several prescription drugs have an online resource for learning about drug interactions, www.northernnvmed.com. The Health Library includes a Drug Interaction Checker. A patient can search for a drug by its brand or generic name and learn about the drug's interaction with other drugs and with alcohol, caffeine, foods and other substances.
To learn more about prescriptions, click on "Drug Search" in the Health Encyclopedia Drug Reference. This online service will search by the drug's generic name or by key words. The Drug Search then gives:
• A description of the treatment for which the drug is intended.
• Conditions to discuss with a physician before taking the drug.
• Instructions for taking the medication, including action to take in case of an overdose or a missed dose.
• Detailed information on medications that a patient should not take while taking the drug and its interaction with other medications.
• Side effects that require medical attention and those that are less serious.
• Instructions for storing the medication.
With these online services and with help from Senior Bridges, northern Nevada seniors no longer need to face worry and confusion over psychiatric medications.
Senior Bridges at NNMC offers a separate outpatient facility. The intensive outpatient program provides more thorough treatment than traditional outpatient care. For a free, confidential assessment call 356-1279.
Ellen McBride, MD, is the medical director for Senior Bridges Intensive Outpatient Program. Dr. McBride graduated from UNR School of Medicine and completed her residency at UNR.

MONTROSE – Few details are being released regarding the current request for a proposal about a second, fixed-base operator at the Montrose Regional Airport. But county officials say that once the county is able to vet and possibly decide on a new FBO, it will be done so in a public arena.
The current request for a proposal was a topic of discussion and many questions during Tuesday evening's meeting of the Montrose Regional Airport Advisory Board.
"We have received some proposals and we have a review committee assessing those proposals," Lloyd Arnold, director of aviation at Montrose Regional Airport, told members of the advisory board on Tuesday.
Arnold, along with County Manager Rick Eckert, Road and Bridge Fleet Manager Dave Laursen, and County Budget Manager Lanny Paulson, sits on the committee tasked with reviewing the FBO proposals.
"We have a review committee to assess the proposals and we met today," Arnold said. "To that, we hope to move forward as fast as we can. What we are doing is putting together spreadsheets and a matrix comparing the various proposals. This committee is not going to make a recommendation to the Board [of County Commissioners]; we are putting together and reviewing the information so the BOCC can look at all [of it] in this format."
One member of the public in attendance at the meeting asked how many proposals the committee is currently reviewing. Arnold said he was not at liberty to disclose that information.
"We haven't interviewed anyone yet," Arnold said. "We are going through the proposals right now. Part of what we are looking at is taking a look at their business model. The reason in my mind – why we can't release those proposals to the public – is the county is going to have to negotiate with them. You can't negotiate with Company A when they have the proposal of Company B. It weakens our position and undermines our ability to negotiate if we need to do so."
"I understand you don't have to give names, but a number would be nice," Airport Advisory Board Chairman Bill Swartz said later, adding that although "we knew for a fact there were six applicants for this FBO," he still doesn't understand why how many of those that "really followed through with the application process" isn't public knowledge.
Commissioner Gary Ellis, who was in attendance at Tuesday evening's meeting, said he understands Swartz's concerns, and that there are "philosophical differences" within the county regarding how much information can be released at this time.
"We have been getting legal counsel on this. To me, the whole issue is transparency without compromising the process," Ellis said. "I am struggling with this personally about what we should and shouldn't release. It is a fair question."
Ellis then referred to information posted on the Montrose County's website on Nov. 22 that addresses some misconceptions about the current FBO request-for-proposal process. After the review committee assembles their findings, they will present them to the commissioners in a posted public meeting as required by law. At that time, according to the information posted online, the commissioners will engage in "a public, deliberative process to make a decision whether to award a second FBO the opportunity to operate on the airport."
The information on the website also stated that Montrose County would like to clarify a few key points regarding the process:
• This consideration was a direct result of requests from private businesses looking to create a second FBO at the airport;
• A RFP is not a formal bid. Rather, it is a format for a proposal to gauge interest and ensure that all proposals meet the defined minimum standards as outlined in the RFP;
• If a decision is made to award a second FBO, it will be done at a posted BOCC meeting; and
• Please remember that the BOCC is not involved in the initial proposal process.
"I want to be very clear, we did not solicit these requests," Ellis said. "They came to us. When we can be transparent, we need to be transparent. When it is possible on whatever we can be transparent on, we need to give substance. The final decision on this FBO will take place in the public arena."
Airport Advisory Boardmember Pat Blackwelder questioned whether or not the Montrose Regional Airport would even be able to support a second FBO.
"I don't see how a second FBO can make it with the economy and aircraft the way they are today," Blackwelder said. "I am not arguing that there shouldn't be two. I just don't see how you can support two. There is a question mark there."
Airport Advisory Boardmember Bob Nicholson echoed Blackwelder's question.
"I share the question about 'Do we need another one,'" Nicholson said. "I don't profess to know that answer."
Arnold said he'd recently attended a Boyd Aviation forecasting summit where he learned that general aviation jet traffic "is going to explode" in the near future.
"Maybe they are looking at that and other factors we aren't looking at," Arnold said.
Anyone who wishes to discuss the FBO matter with their elected officials is encouraged to visit montrosecounty.net/index.aspx?nid=172. To view a copy of the RFP and its addendums, go to visit MontroseCounty.net.

I have a tiered backyard and the railroad ties have rotted. What is the best way to remove/replace them with cinder blocks or should I replace them with railroad ties again?
I think what you replace them with depends on your own personal preference, the width of the steps, steepness of the slope, soil type, and whether or not you want to use railroad ties again given that the existing ones rotted out.
Some questions...what did you use to preserve the existing ties? When did you install them? How did you stabilize them?
My concern with cinder blocks would be looks but stability would be a bigger issue. How would you plan to install the blocks and secure them?
Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge on how to remove the existing ties, but I'm sure someone else will help you on that issue.

Never one to mince words or hold back his opinions, Gore Vidal says he regrets voting for President Barack Obama last year and calls Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, "the stupidest man in the country" in a wide-ranging interview with The Times of London.
Some critics of Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said video footage of a speech at a campaign event shows him starting to utter a racial slur while referring to President Obama, then cutting himself off mid-word.
While speaking to a group of supporters in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Santorum said, "We know what the candidate, Barack Obama, was like. The anti-war, government nig--, uh…" before stopping abruptly, then adding, "America was, uh, a source for division around the world. And that what we were doing was wrong. We needed to pull out and we needed to pull back."
Although the uncompleted word sure sounds like it began with "nig" and what Santorum said next in the sentence didn't flow naturally with the other words, a campaign spokesman today denied that the uncompleted word was "nigger."
In January Santorum told a crowd of supporters in Iowa that he didn't "want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money."
Here is the clip of Tuesday's speech. The remark causing controversy is spoken around the 34:30 mark. You can decide for yourself.
Actress and acclaimed rapper Natalie Portman played up her Cincinnati ties in a Wednesday appearance at the Obama campaign-sponsored Women's Summit at Union Terminal.
The Academy Award-winner said her mother graduated from Walnut Hills High School and her grandfather — Art Stevens — grew Champion Windows in Cincinnati after starting as a door-to-door salesman.
"Because of that, I see President Obama's support of small businesses as so crucial to our economy," Portman said, adding that Obama has cut taxes for small businesses 82 times since taking office.
Portman said the Republican Party and their presidential ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan did not have the best interests of women at heart. She pointed to attacks on the Affordable Care Act's mandates that insurers provide birth control to women and ensure preventative care such as mammogram screenings for breast cancer is covered, as well a bill sponsored by Ryan and embattled congressional candidate Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) that would eliminate all abortion funding except for cases of "forcible rape."
"We need to stand up for ourselves," Portman told the packed auditorium that was crowded with an audience of mostly women. "Our mothers and our grandmothers made giant steps for us. We can't go backwards. We need to go forwards."
Portman was joined by Obama Campaign National Women's Vote Director Kate Chapek, former Ohio first lady Frances Strickland, Ohio Rep. Alicia Reece and Obama campaign volunteer Mary Shelton.
An Ohio Romney rep said the campaign did not have a comment on the Women's Summit, but is hosting a "Women for Mitt" call night featuring former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao in Kenwood on Thursday.
"Ohio women believe in the Romney-Ryan path for America that will result in lower taxes, less spending, less government and more economic growth," said a release from Romney's campaign.
The Obama event on Wednesday catered to women, with Chapek telling the audience she knew how difficult it was for women to get there with jobs and the challenge of getting their kids to school. She framed women's role in the election as a conversation.
"The conversation starts like this: women, turns out, we're not a constituency," Chapek said. "Who knew? Apparently Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, because they don't realize that women are actually a majority in this country."
She told the women gathered to have conversations with their neighbors and friends and encourage them to volunteer at phone banks or knocking on doors.
Strickland talked about the need to reconcile qualities traditionally seen as masculine — like power — with those seen as feminine — like love.
She also took the opportunity to riff on a statement made by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who said political wives were heroes because while they're husbands were on stage in the limelight, they were at home doing things like laundry.
"I even did the laundry last night so I could come here today," Strickland said. "Even (former Gov.) Ted does the laundry."
Summit attendee Ray Boston, a 67-year-old retired writer for AT&T, said Natalie Portman's presence caught his eye.
"I'm a celebrity photo enthusiast," he said. "Nothing's official until I've taken a picture of it."
Boston said he didn't vote in 2008, but felt the upcoming November election was too important to sit out. He said he was leaning toward voting for Obama and liked his health care overhaul, but was opposed to the president's views on gay marriage for religious reasons.
Gwen McFarlin, who works in health care administration, said she was there to support President Obama. She supports his health care overhaul, but thinks it's a first step to further changes.
She said she was encouraged by the diversity of the women in attendance.
"For me, I'm sure the women who are here represent all the world, not one issue," she said. "We're here as a group of women working to empower all the U.S. and the world."
It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
Here's a bit of news that should spoil the day for Sarah Palin, Mike Wilson, Dusty Rhodes and their ilk: A comparison of two polls suggests that socialism is more popular among Americans than the Tea Party movement.
A new, wide-ranging Washington Post-ABC News poll reveals that 35 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the Tea Party, compared to 36 percent that likes socialism in an earlier Gallup poll. Fifty-two percent of Americans now hold unfavorable views of the Tea Party, which is an all-time high.
In the first town hall-style event of the 2012 campaign, President Barack Obama fielded questions on Monday about rights for the LGBT community, what he would do for small business during a second term and which was his favorite Girl Scout cookie (Thin Mints).
Obama — the first Democrat to carry Hamilton County since Lyndon Baines Johnson — held a packed town hall meeting at Music Hall. Cincinnati Fire Department Capt. Joseph E. Wolf estimated the crowd at 1,200 people in the ballroom with an additional 421 hosted outside.
The most recent Quinnipiac University poll from June 27 showed that 47 percent of Ohio voters favored the president, while 38 percent were behind his presumed Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
Mayor Mark Mallory fired up the crowd before the president spoke, saying Hamilton County is the most important county in Ohio, and Cincinnati the most important city in the county.
"The folks in this room are the most important folks in terms of the re-election of President Barack Obama in the United States of America," Mallory said.
Attending the town hall was former Cincinnati mayor and daytime TV host Jerry Springer, who said he and about a dozen other folks had a private meeting with the president earlier in the day.
"I think it would be bad for the country," Springer said of an America that saw Obama lose the November election. He says the Republican-controlled house would run away with our country without a Democrat in the Oval Office to issue a veto.
Just an hour before the president spoke and seven blocks away at Fountain Square, dozens of Romney supporters rallied, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obama Bin Lyin'."
Republican Mike Wilson, who is looking to unseat Montgomery Democrat Rep. Connie Pillich in the Ohio House of Representatives, was among the speakers at the Romney Rally. Pillich defeated Wilson in the 2010 election.
"Ohio seems destined to play a pivotal role. We're used to it," Wilson said.
Wilson criticized the Obama campaign for "playing politics" with Romney's tenure at the head of investment firm Bain Capital.
The Obama campaign has claimed that Romney invested in businesses that outsourced American jobs.
"We're all interested with what Romney did with his money, but we're not interested with what Obama is doing with our money," Wilson said.
He blamed over-regulation and taxation from the Obama administration for companies moving their operations overseas.
Gerry Molt, who attended the rally with his wife Roxanne, claimed that Obama is at war with America and says the focus on Bain Capital is "clearly a distraction."
Roxanne Molt said she's excited about the importance of Hamilton County in this year's election.
"I think this is the premier election of our lifetime," she said. "I think Romney's got a good plan. We need someone who supports capitalism."
The president did a little bit to support Cincinnati capitalism, making a pit stop at Skyline Chili before the town hall, where he ordered a 4-way and two cheese coneys.
The economy was a big focus of Obama's speech, but also of questions he received afterward.
Tony White, who owns a barber shop/beauty salon, asked what the president would do for small businesses with fewer than 10 employees.
In his response, the president touted the possible savings for small businesses under the health care overhaul, saying they could pool together and receive the same rates as larger businesses. As for moving forward, Obama said he would continue to put pressure on banks to lend to small businesses.
"We've actually been pushing the banks to say, 'look, taxpayers pulled your backside out of the fire, it's now important for you to step up and make sure that small businesses aren't finding their credit restricted, especially if they've been in business for a while," he said.
The president was also asked by a woman who only identified herself as Anna what he would do to further help the LGBT community. Anna's son Adam is openly gay and is looking at attending Miami University in Oxford.
Despite earlier teasing that he wouldn't sing at the town hall, Obama led the crown in singing "Happy Birthday" to Adam, who turned 18 on Monday.
Obama again answered the question by touting his accomplishments so far — ending the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that forbid homosexuals from serving openly in the military and expanding hospital visitation rights to same-sex partners — before going on to say that the federal Defense of Marriage Act needs to be repealed.
The Defense of Marriage Act defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Obama is the first American president to openly support gay marriage.
The theme the president to which continued to return was that America needs to return to being the land of opportunity.
"What really sets us apart has always been that we have the greatest middle class and a basic idea that's at the heart of this country that says if you work hard then you can get ahead. If you're responsive, then you can live out your dreams. You're not confined to the circumstances of your birth."
German Lopez contributed to this report.
If President Obama hopes to rely on all the socialists who in 2008 elected him with hopes of seeing all of America's wealth get spread around, he better come up with something even more radical this year.
Something called the Freedom Socialist Party announced in December that it is running two candidates in a national write-in campaign — New Yorker Stephen Durham for president and Christina López, of Seattle, for vice president. And today the duo sent out a press release demonstrating that America's real socialists are none too pleased with Obama's first three years in office.
In a memo titled, "Recognize healthcare as a human right — make it universal and free," Durham and López refer to Obama's healthcare reform as one of the biggest disappointments of his presidency.
"Instead of stepping up to the plate and acknowledging that public healthcare is a need as great as public education," the release states, "Obama made one concession after another to the pharmaceutical and insurance mega-corporations. As he restated in his February State of the Union address, his Affordable Care Act does not give the government the role of guaranteeing universal care; instead, it relies on a reformed private market."
López goes even further, calling the healthcare program just another one of Obama's "sellouts of the human rights of women and immigrants under corporate and right-wing pressure."
Durham, according to the FSP website, says Obama and the other jokers in Washington have furthered the struggle of America's working class and poor during their bipartisan attempts at correcting the recession.
"The Democratic and Republican parties have done nothing but cooperate in forcing workers and the poor to pay the costs of the Great Recession caused by the banks and Wall Street," the site says. "President Obama may play to the crowd by criticizing 'bad apple' corporations, as he did in his State of the Union address. But the facts show that the program of corporate coddling, which creates austerity for the masses, is completely bipartisan."
Durham and López are also offended by Obama's recent compromise with religious institutions over providing birth control coverage.
Durham says the only way to provide quality health care is to get private insurers out of the picture altogether. For-profit insurance companies, according to a Baltimore-area neurologist Dr. Steven Strauss, are a fundamental problem.
"No one should be making a profit from providing — or, more to the point, denying — the medical care that should be treated as a basic human right," Strauss says, according to the release. "But insurance and drug companies are among the biggest money-makers in the nation, amassing billions each year from people's suffering."
The Freedom Socialist Party believes that a single-payer option such as Medicare, if it were to be offered to everyone, would be a reasonable first step but that all for-profit entities must be removed from the pharmaceutical, medical supply and hospitals industries.
also suggests taxing corporations and the very wealthy — something
that's not going to take away any of Obama's votes because he's
trying to do that, too. And the duo's ideas for redirecting
military spending to the nation's human needs probably won't cost
the president too many reelection votes, either.

A conservative organization that advocates for immigration reform will begin running TV and radio commercials in Southwest Ohio next week that attempt to pressure House Speaker John Boehner (R-West Chester) to allow a vote on the "E-Verify" bill.
The group, Numbers USA, said Boehner is letting the bill languish in the House Ways and Means Committee so Republicans don't anger Latino voters in an election year. The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill last year.
The commercials include a 30-second TV ad and a one-minute radio ad.
Next to an image of Boehner, the TV spot states, "Meet House Republican Speaker John Boehner. He won't let Congress vote on E-Verify. Thanks to Speaker Boehner, illegal aliens can keep American jobs. Now Americans, meet the telephone … tell him to bring E-Verify for a vote or he may not like your vote in November."
Under the bill, the federal government's voluntary E-Verify system that is used to check the immigration status of employees would become mandatory nationwide.
Currently seven states require E-Verify checks and 12 others require state agencies and contractors to use it. The federal government has operated its system for the past 15 years.
About 300,000 of the 2.2 million U.S. employers with five or more employees were enrolled in E-Verify as of autumn 2011, according to workforce.com.
The Internet-based system checks any employee's personal information against the Social Security database and several Homeland Security databases.
If the employee is confirmed, that person is authorized to work. If the person isn't confirmed, he or she has eight working days to contest the finding with the Social Security Administration or the Department of Homeland Security.
"Speaker Boehner has supported legislation with E-Verify in the past, and the issue is currently working its way through the committee process," Michael Steel, a Boehner spokesman, told The Washington Times earlier this month.
But Numbers USA isn't convinced, and has launched the ad blitz in response.
Numbers USA said the bill would crack down on the hiring of undocumented immigrants and free up jobs that could be taken by unemployed U.S. citizens.
Critics, however, said the electronic monitoring system proposed by the E-Verify bill would be fraught with errors due to it reliance on incomplete or outdated databases. They cite the number of people who have mistakenly been placed on Homeland Security's terrorist watch list as an example.
Further, opponents believe the bill would lead to more under-the-table hiring, while some Libertarians have worried that it's a backdoor method for implementing a national I.D. card system.
The bill has caused some unlikely political alliances.
Supporters of the bill include President Barack Obama, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Opponents include the American Civil Liberties Union and several labor unions.
Based in Virginia, Numbers USA was founded in 1997 by Roy Beck, an author and ex-journalist who worked for anti-immigration activist John Tanton. Tanton also helped form two other groups, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
Numbers USA wants to reduce U.S. immigration levels to pre-1965 levels. The group's website states, "The 1990s saw the biggest population boom in U.S. history … this population boom was almost entirely engineered by federal forced-growth policies that are still in place. The Census Bureau states that Americans will suffer this kind of rapid congestion every decade into the future unless Congress changes these policies."
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that monitors extremist groups, has said Numbers USA, FAIR and CIS have connections to white supremacist and neo-Nazi leaders.
A 2009 report by the center states, "FAIR, CIS and Numbers USA are all part of a network of restrictionist organizations conceived and created by John Tanton, the 'puppeteer' of the nativist movement and a man with deep racist roots."
The report added, "As the first article in this report shows, Tanton has for decades been at the heart of the white nationalist scene. He has met with leading white supremacists, promoted anti-Semitic ideas, and associated closely with the leaders of a eugenicist foundation once described by a leading newspaper as a 'neo-Nazi organization.' He has made a series of racist statements about Latinos and worried that they were outbreeding whites."
I killed a spider today with astringent. I didn't know you could kill spiders with astringent until today. But there it was, chilling in my bathroom while I was taking a piss. My first instinct was to douse it with some kind of liquid, and barring the source of liquid currently in my hands, the only other thing within reach was a bottle of astringent sitting on the bathroom sink.

Sam McKewon and Rich Kaipust break down the big plays of the game, quarter by quarter.
* * *
Keith Marshall: One of Georgia's two dynamic freshman backs catches a 21-yard screen pass on the Bulldogs' first third down of the game.
P.J. Smith: Watching Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray all the way, he ducks under a poorly thrown pass near the NU goal line and makes the interception.
Shawn Williams: After the Huskers' first drive stalls, Georgia's safety blocks Brett Maher's punt. The ball goes into Nebraska's end zone, but the Bulldogs are unable to recover the ball before it rolls out of bounds.
Murray: On third-and-8, he hits Justin Scott-Wesley for a 24-yard gain and a first down.
Arthur Lynch: Georgia's tight end is wide open thanks to a blown Husker coverage. Murray hits him in stride and Lynch runs in for a touchdown.
Rex Burkhead: The Husker running back bolts for 21 yards on NU's next drive. He then catches a 16-yard shuttle pass.
Taylor Martinez: Beating the play clock by a nanosecond — if that — he throws a perfect pass to Jamal Turner for a 14-yard touchdown.
Will Compton: The Husker linebacker sniffs out a screen, picks off Murray's pass and returns it 24 yards for a touchdown.
Tavarres King: NU's lead lasts one play. The Georgia wide receiver catches a 75-yard touchdown pass.
Ben Cotton: The NU tight end catches a 56-yard pass from Martinez. But Nebraska is unable to convert the big play into points, as Brett Maher misses a 47-yard field goal.
* * *
Damian Swann: The Georgia cornerback steps in front of an ill-advised Martinez pass, intercepting the ball and returning it into Nebraska territory.
Murray: On third down, he scrambles for a 10-yard gain. It prolongs the Bulldogs' drive.
Todd Gurley: The other Georgia freshman running back takes a snap out of the Wildcat and runs 24 yards for a touchdown. Georgia leads 23-14.
Burkhead: Rumbles 19 yards and is pushed while out of bounds, leading to a late hit call. Nebraska's down to the Bulldog 19.
Tim Beck: Burkhead exits, and Nebraska's offensive coordinator calls three straight passing plays. Martinez can't complete any of them. The Huskers settle for a Brett Maher field goal.
Mark Richt: Although his offense is averaging 6.5 yards per rush, he chooses not to go for a fourth-and-1 at midfield.
Burkhead: Gains 13 yards on three straight carries.
Kenny Bell: The Husker receiver runs under a floated Martinez pass to haul in a 35-yard gain. Martinez, blitzed severely, threw the ball blind.
Burkhead: Makes a leaping 16-yard catch for a touchdown and the Nebraska lead. This is the Burkhead fans hoped they'd see all year.
Gurley: Runs for 19 and 24 yards on the Bulldogs' next drive, but Georgia can't make a field goal. After a full buffet of plays in the first half, Nebraska leads 24-23.
* * *
Martinez: Hits Bell for an 11-yard pass, then scrambles for 9 yards on a third-and-4 to help Nebraska reach midfield.
Ameer Abdullah: Dashes through Georgia's defense for a 26-yard gain. Abdullah's flashiest run of the year.
Burkhead: Finishes off the Huskers' touchdown drive with three straight runs. On the last of them, he plunges into the end zone from 2 yards out. Nebraska leads 31-23.
Gurley: Runs for 19 yards on three straight carries.
King: On third-and-4, he gets open and catches an 11-yard pass.
Murray: With all the time to throw, he pumps once and heaves a 49-yard touchdown pass to Chris Conley running a go route. Murray then hits Rhett McGowan for a 2-point conversion, tying the game at 31.
Burkhead: Busts off a 28-yard run to start NU's next drive.
Beck: On third-and-1 at Georgia's 39-yard line, he calls for Burkhead to take the snap and pitch the ball to Abdullah.
Abdullah: He gets the first down, but fumbles. Georgia recovers.
Murray: Completes a 31-yard pass to Scott-Wesley to move into Nebraska territory. Georgia starts the fourth quarter at the Huskers' 24.
* * *
Murray: The Georgia quarterback chalks up his fourth TD pass to start the fourth, hitting Marshall with a 24-yard throw. The Bulldogs reclaim the lead at 38-31.
Conley: Georgia catches the Huskers in a blitz, Murray connects with Conley and nobody is in the middle of the field to stop him. The pass play covers 87 yards, breaks a Capital One Bowl record and puts the Bulldogs ahead 45-31 with 11:03 to go.
Swann: The Georgia cornerback gets his second interception of the game after Nebraska has a first down at the Bulldogs' 36. It's the fourth straight Husker possession that doesn't result in points.
Murray: Georgia is back in NU territory, but Murray just misses King on a fourth-down throw to the end zone with 2:33 to go. Murray will finish with 427 yards passing and five TDs.
Alec Ogletree: Nebraska's last threat ends around midfield, with Ogletree breaking through and sacking Martinez with 1:08 left in the game.

For Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, this season is all about making the right decisions.
He seems to be off to a good start. Doughty, prone to weight problems, stayed in shape during the NHL lockout by working with a trainer and practicing with the junior team near his home in London, Canada. Gearing up for the opening of training camp Sunday and launching the 48-game season next Saturday, Doughty pronounced himself pleased with his fitness after he joined teammates for an informal workout in El Segundo.
"I probably weigh about 205 right now, which is a little bit down from what it was last year, so I'm feeling good," he said Friday. "This week is going to be important for everyone to get in shape and get back into game form, so we're all looking forward to it."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The most important choices for Doughty's life and career are still ahead.
He has the skating ability, vision, shot, and defensive instincts to take a stranglehold on the Norris Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's top defenseman, and he finished third in voting for the 2009-10 season. Doughty, 23, acknowledged he hasn't consistently maintained that level of performance but said he's committed to getting back and staying there.
"It's one of my dreams to do that," he said of winning the Norris. "I was close a couple years back and I felt like my regular seasons haven't lived up to that. So this year's going to be a big one for me, I hope."
He has also discovered the importance of making the right decisions outside of hockey, no small matter.
Doughty was accused of sexually assaulting a 25-year-old woman last March 1, an allegation that became public shortly after the Kings won the Stanley Cup in June. Los Angeles County prosecutors declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence, but Doughty said the incident affected him.
"I've definitely learned to make wiser choices, but at the same time the whole situation was kind of out of my hands. It's over with now and I've learned from it."
When he's willing to listen and learn, he has shown what a brilliant player he can be.
Although he clashed early last season with assistant coach John Stevens, who guides the Kings' defensemen, they developed a solid working relationship after Doughty realized Stevens was offering constructive criticism, not picking on him. The team's coaching change from Terry Murray to Darryl Sutter — and Sutter's decision to reunite Doughty with defensive stalwart Rob Scuderi — also proved immensely positive for Doughty, who had struggled to shake off the effects of a concussion he suffered in October, 2011.
"My whole game turned around when Darryl came in. I started playing a lot better," Doughty said. "They put me back with Scuds, who I've been comfortable with for a few years now. I think when that happened, my season started to turn around and I started to play like I know I can."
That became evident in the playoffs, when he contributed four goals, 16 points and a plus-11 rating to the Kings' Cup drive.
He surely looked like a Norris Trophy winner then.
"I think he's always been capable of that, ever since he was nominated for it a couple of years ago," captain Dustin Brown said. "It's just, for him, I think it's important that he just focuses on his whole game.
"Sometimes he's playing real good hockey and he gets frustrated because he's not getting points. And I understand that, but he plays against the top teams' top-line guy. He's our No. 1 defenseman. He brings a lot more to the table than just getting points and that sort of thing. He has a pretty complete game. He has to just really focus on having it every night."
If Doughty can elevate his game, the Kings should have a better chance of getting home-ice advantage in the playoffs instead of entering as the No. 8-seeded team. They have the depth to withstand losing center Anze Kopitar to a sprained knee for what is likely to be a two-to-three-week recovery, and Doughty said General Manager Dean Lombardi's skill in keeping the Cup-winning roster together means players don't have to waste time getting to know each other and can get right to business.
"It's in our hands now," Doughty said. "We're determined to win it again, of course, and we have the team to do it. We've just got to be mentally and physically prepared."
Mitchell update
The status of defenseman Willie Mitchell, who team officials had said "tweaked" his knee during the lockout, remained unclear Friday. Lombardi said he understood the injury to be an impingement, or pinching, and is not a ligament injury. More information might be available after the lockout officially ends — which is expected Saturday — and teams can have extensive contact with players.

The i-MID information display with CD, Bluetooth, and USB audio connectivity is now standard on all models (including the LX), as is a rearview camera...more
We'd like to tell you that there's one clear standout in the minivan market, but we'd be lying. The minivans from Honda, Toyota, and Chrysler have been jockeying for the top spot for years, and all are formidable competitors. Even in that esteemed company, however, the Honda Odyssey stands out as an eight-time Automobile Magazine All-Stars award winner. The Odyssey's capable 3.5-liter V-6 uses Honda's cylinder-deactivation system that cuts the power to some of the cylinders under light engine loads, enabling the Odyssey to claim best-in-class highway fuel economy. Like any good minivan, the Odyssey's most impressive features pertain to interior versatility. The minivan can be configured to hold either seven or eight passengers, and its second-row bench can hold three child seats—just the thing if you're bringing your new set of triplets home from the hospital. If your kids don't want to watch the same movie, an extra-wide rear-seat video monitor that can screen two movies at once is an option in the top Touring Elite model. A removable center console has room for a purse inside, and a cooler below the center stack can hold four bottles of water. For carrying cargo, the third row now folds into the floor with the tug of a single strap. The Odyssey will appeal to everyone in the family.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; and stability and traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard.
