WASHINGTON A record number of women will serve in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives after sweeping victories in Tuesday's election that challenged the traditional male makeup of the U.S. legislative branch.
Twenty women will serve in the 100-member Senate and at least 81 of the 435 members of the House of Representatives will be women. A few races still await final results from Tuesday's voting.
Female representation in Congress has now been increased tenfold in the past two decades, according to Emily's List, a liberal political group.
For several states, women won Senate seats for the first time, including in close races in Massachusetts, where Democrat Elizabeth Warren defeated Republican incumbent Scott Brown; in Nebraska, where Republican Deb Fischer upset former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey; and in Wisconsin, where another Democrat Tammy Baldwin also became the first openly gay senator.
A number of congressional districts will also be represented by women for the first time.
In another first, three women Democrats - Governor-elect Maggie Hassan and Representatives-elect Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster - made New Hampshire the first state to vote for an all-female congressional delegation and governor, according to Emily's List.
"This election provided a clear choice between those who want to move forward and those who would turn back the clock to deny women equal pay and access to preventive health services and birth control," said a statement from the group.
While the main policy theme of the presidential election was the poor state of the U.S. economy, issues that predominantly affect women - contraception, abortion, rape and others - often came to the forefront in the White House and congressional contests.
Some of the most memorable gaffes of the 2012 races involved male politicians talking about women's health and abortion.
Missouri Republican Todd Akin, who had been a favorite to unseat Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, is seen as having sabotaged his campaign with a comment that women had biological defenses against pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape." He lost on Tuesday.
Similarly, Illinois Republican Joe Walsh lost a House seat to Democrat Tammy Duckworth after saying that abortion was never necessary to save a woman's life. Indiana Republican Richard Mourdock lost his bid for a Senate seat to Democrat Joe Donnelly after saying that a pregnancy resulting from rape was "something God intended to happen."
Nearly twice as many women as men rank social issues, such as abortion and same-sex marriage, as most important for their vote, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling data.
The data showed those views as well as high turnout among women also helped President Barack Obama to defeat Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Democrats denounced Romney for shifting positions on abortion and contraceptive rights since his 2002 election as governor of Democratic-leaning Massachusetts and for failing to support Obama-backed legislation which guarantees equal pay for women.

text: Posted November 2, 2013 I enjoy reading David Newton's stuff, but the man may as well be writing for Panthers.com, as big a homer as he is. Count me in with those who feel he needs to do his thing against a good defense. I have been loving these past few weeks, but I miss the absolute confidence I had in my home team back in the early Fox years. I think that Cam Newton is talented enough to make anyone look good, and if Shula can just bring that out then that's as good as he needs to be. But it needs to come out against the great defenses, and so far we haven't beaten a team with one of those. Of course, Atlanta doesn't have one either, which means Sunday ought to be a lot of fun. :) Honestly, if the choice is between that and what we used to get on ESPN, I'll take it.

This is the final page of this story, which was really more of a set-up for the next one I'll be doing. Kudos to you if you can identify the song on Joel's stereo.

I get the impression that Joel is just a touch too satisfied with his "tapes" and his "fanzines"
as a teen of the 90's I can totally relate these comics. I can't stop reading them. please keep them coming.
You're going to make a story arc out of Joel earning cash for the ax, and I TOTALLY CALLED IT!
Heh, yeah, you can't make everyone happy.
I wonder what part time job Joel will get to get his guitar?

To the Editor.—
In their article, "Topical Agents Alone in Acne: A Blind Assessment Study" (243:1640, 1980), Swinyer and associates state, "The degree of surface dryness or brittleness in our study is the single variable significantly associated with failure to clear acne lesions (Table 2)." However, Table 2 actually indicates that patients with severe skin dryness showed more improvement than those with moderate skin dryness.The authors assert that their thesis regarding the usefulness of water avoidance in the treatment of acne is supported by their finding that a program of tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, and water avoidance was as effective as a combination treatment of tretinoin and systemically given tetracycline. Since benzoyl peroxide (which is both an effective antiacne agent and extremely drying) was part of the water avoidance regimen, but not included in the non-water-avoidance regimen, this assertion is unjustified.Thus, the data presented by these authors do not

text: First NU RMT I'm new to NU and wanted to try Absol. I based this whole team around him and Sawk. Could use suggestions because I don't know this tier well. I made this team a long time ago so the descriptions are kinda small. Absol @ Life Orb Trait: Super Luck EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Night Slash - Sucker Punch - Pursuit - Superpower My favorite NU pokemon. Wanted to try a critical set to see if it works. It works as a revenge killer but is too frail to do anything else. Night Slash, Pscho Cut, Shadow Claw, and Stone Edge give him those criticals he's working for and Pursuit kills Ghosts and Psychics. The criticals don't happen as much as wanted and I feel like he is wasted. This guy gets killed by any tank and could probably use a different set. The EVs maximize his attack and speed so he can kill as much as possible before he dies from the many pokemon that carry Superpower or Close Combat. Sawk @ Choice Band Trait: Mold Breaker EVs:252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def Adamant Nature -Close Combat -Ice Punch -Stone Edge -Earthquake My Choice Band user. He can do anything and is the main pokemon on this team. This guy works perfect with the diversity he can stay in and sweep even locked in on a move. The EVs are the normal Choice Band set EVs and maximize his attack and speed. Love this guy and don't need to change him. He OHKO's most pokemon with one of his moves and when he is locked still majorly hurts everything that resists it. Musharna @ Leftovers Trait: Synchronize EVs:240 HP / 252 Def / 16 Spe Bold Nature -Calm Mind -Moonlight -Psychic -Signal Beam My Emboar and Gurdurr counter. Those two would destroy my team without this guy. Doesn't set up much with Calm Mind so I could probably use a different set. Moonlight heals, Psychic and Signal Beam give decent coverage. Calm Mind makes him a monster if he needs it but he usually doesn't. The Evs make him as bulky as possible while being able to outspeed the common Amoongus. He is incredibly weak against special walls and Calm Mind doesn't help it get past any screens or walls. Regice @ Leftovers Trait: Clear Body Evs:252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature -Ice Beam -Thunderbolt -Rest -Sleep Talk This guy helps tank those pesky Water-types that ruin my whole team. He also deals with Hail teams that can destroy me because I don't use weather. Thanks to WhiteDMist for the set. Regirock @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Clear Body Evs:252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Atk Adamant Nature -Stealth Rock -Drain Punch -Toxic -Stone Edge My Stealth Rocks user. Needed somebody who could stay in and wall and shuffle. Toxic spreads the poison, Drain Punch so I don't have to waste a slot and item on Rest, and Stone Edge provides great coverage. The last move I don't need so I could really use another move. The Evs maximize his bulk.. I feel like he doesn't fit into the team because I never find a way to get him and if I lead him he is wasted. Drifblim @ Flying Gem Trait:Unburden EVs:252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature -Will-O-Wisp -Acrobatics -Substitute -Disable My spinblocker. He can switch in on a Rapid Spin and proceed to set up with Unburden. Will-O-Wisp helps it cripple Attack based threats, Acrobatics has huge power with the Flying Gem, Disable takes out that one move that kills it on sets with a little prediction, and Substitute helps it stall out while Acrobating everything that doesn't resist it. The Evs help destroy more with his Acrobatics. I feel like this guy is the best spinblocker in NU since he can cripple Armaldo with Will-O-Wisp and just laughs at Torkoal, the two main spinners. This team is really weak to Fighting types with my only counter being Musharna, it is also weak to Dark types with only Sawk being able to kill them. I also don't have a spinner to help out Drifblim. All in all, I feel like this team needs some help from somebody who has played NU a lot more than me.

Winter's Tale' lifts spirits at Asolo Rep
Published: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 2:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 2:39 p.m.
Directors do all sorts of things to make William Shakespeares plays appear as relevant to todays audiences as they were in his own time.
By William Shakespeare. Directed by Michael Donald Edwards. Reviewed Jan. 23 at Asolo Repertory Theatre, 5555 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. In repertory through May 16. Tickets are $20-$58. 351-8000; asolo.org.
But I never expected to see astronauts landing on the moon or hippies dancing to Good Morning Starshine in Michael Donald Edwards lively production of The Winters Tale.
They are part of the mostly welcome additions that Edwards has made to a play that has the power to lift your spirits through acts of redemption. He has moved the action to a 16-year period between 1953 and 1969, a time of great societal upheaval that somewhat mirrors the kinds of changes depicted in the play.
Though some of the action in the second act delves into the ultra silly with little residual dramatic payoff, Edwards has staged a mostly breathtaking, moving and involving production that draws you into the story of the jealousy that consumes King Leontes, destroying his family and his kingdom in Sicilia.
The Winters Tale doesnt easily fall into the typical Shakespearean categories of tragedy or comedy because he mixes the styles. The first act is heavy on the drama as Leontes accuses his loving wife, Hermione, of having an affair with his good friend, Polixenes, the king of Bohemia. Leontes believes that Polixenes is the father of his new daughter and orders her left stranded far away.
Leontes grows to distrust his advisors, loses control of his kingdom and locks Hermione in a tower where he is told she dies, like their young son.
The second act moves 16 years forward and shifts into a brightly colored wonderland as Peloxines son, Florizel, falls in love with a young shepherds daughter, Perdita, who isnt considered worthy to marry the prince. He doesnt know who she really is. Later, theres a touch of magical realism as Leontes finds a way to make peace with himself and find redemption and happiness.
The pieces fit together well in Edwards production, which features an inventive set by Clint Ramos, who uses curved panels and the back wall for impressive projections by Daniel Scully that take you inside Leontes heart and mind, depict a massive storm at sea, a bear attack and colorful fireworks, all accompanied by the right sound effects.
Leontes is given a fresh life by Dan Donohue, who makes you feel his fury and anguish at the start and then reveals an inner grace as Leontes softer side emerges.
He is surrounded by other strong performances from Kris Danford as Hermione, an often mesmerizing Mercedes Herrero as a powerful Paulina, David Breitbarth as Polixenes, David Yearta as a comical young shepherd and Brent Bateman as the Elvis-impersonating Autolycus.
Batemans scenes may feel like filler, but he makes them vibrant and lively, singing a couple of original, 1960s-style songs by composer Sarah Pickett. Kevin OCallaghan and Heather Kelley are also attractive as the young lovers.
The costumes by David Zinn and Jacob Climer create stark contrasts with bold statements in the first act through dark suits and flowing red gowns, followed by the playful mix of colors, patterns and fabrics during the free-love attitude of the second half.
Edwards keeps it all stimulating, understandable and emotionally rewarding.

Patient Comments: Hydronephrosis - Treatment
What was the treatment for your hydronephrosis?
Comment from: Sharon B, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: April 18
I have severe hydroureteronephrosis with parenchymal atrophy. I had a very large left side ovarian cyst removed about 5 years ago. Within weeks I started to have pain and went to the emergency room thinking I might have kidney stones. They took an x-ray and told me I had constipation! They told me to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate and I would feel better, and sent me home. I had the pain off and on for several weeks, but thought it was constipation. Otherwise I was symptom free. About a year later I had an MRI for low back pain and that is when the kidney problem was discovered. The block starts where the bladder and ureter connect. By that time I only had 9 percent function in my left kidney. Too late to fix it. Also since the very first week I have suffered from chronic constipation. I am sure it is all connected somehow.
Comment from: RedPoppet, 45-54 Female Published: April 01
I have just been diagnosed with my third deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The first, in 2001, was as a result of surgery. The 2nd, in 2014, was after a long-haul flight from US to Australia. The reason for the 3rd, current [April 2016] DVT is still to be determined. No surgeries, flights or other obvious triggers and past blood screen has indicated that I do not have a clotting disorder.
Comment from: Novella, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 21
I have been dealing with hydronephrosis of my left kidney for about 20 years. With this last attempt to get my kidney to drain properly, my urologist used the da Vinci method (a robot) to repair the damaged part of my ureter that was causing an obstruction (ureteropelvic junction pyeloplasty). He inserted a stent and then removed it weeks later. For months, tests revealed the kidney was draining ok. Then it wasn't draining ok. The doctor said that though the repair was successful and my kidney had 29 percent function before the operation, (enough to save the kidney) the ureter may not be working right. I go in a week for a MAG6 renal scan with Lasix to determine what is going on. I've already been through all this. It's a vicious cycle. I may be better off just asking the doctor to take the kidney out.
Comment from: aneczkabeczka, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: November 01
I had all symptoms of hydronephrosis and kidney stones. My previous doctor treated me for arthritis, never bothering to treat the blood, protein and ketones in my urine. I went to see a urologist, he performed lithotripsy with stent placement. My kidney function has been preserved.
Comment from: Molly, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 22
In 1996 I had uroplasty surgery that restructured the kidney. I was off work for 2months but recovered nicely. No need for antibiotics and life returned to normal. In April 2012 the same kidney swelled and the pain was back. I am thankful for 16 good years! I am hopeful that the treatment methods have advanced and I would not have to go through that painful surgery again.

My best friend's clavicle got fractured by a bike accident. He has a well-built body; doubt is whether he can lift weight in gym after recovery.

Released: Dec 01st, 2006
Running Time: 173
Director: Pierre Woodman
Companies: Private U.S.A., Pure Play Media
Cast: Yanka, Pierre Woodman, Sandra Russo, Coreena, Anette, Stella Virgin, Katalyn Simon, Myriam, Carmen Joy, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
This edition of Castings features Pierre Woodman's mid-1990s casting interviews with nine Eastern European performers, interspersed with footage of their performances. The interviews aren't terribly interesting unless you speak French (the sparse English subtitles are out of synch), but watching each woman go through the same set of poses provides some insight into their different styles and attitudes.
The clearest message here is that making porn is a dreary business. Pierre sounds pretty bored during the interviews, though he perks up while "initiating" Anette.
The bonus footage of Katalyn Simon and Myriam is an exhausting, slow-moving photo shoots. The actual clips, which include some very impressive anal and d.p. scenes as well as audio of the directors' instructions, are more interesting, but it's rather sad to hear one woman after another told to fake an orgasm. Most viewers, no matter how much they appreciate pornographers' hard work, would probably rather not see how sausagefests are made.
Retailing: Casting interviews plus excerpts from Private's hottest videos.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
(Photo: Wikicommons)
On Feb. 7, 1915, Canadian activist and composer Bill White III was born. White was the first Black Canadian to run for federal office.
The son of a Baptist minister, White and his siblings became well known figures in the worlds of art and social justice. In 1949, White ran for a seat in the House of Commons, and although he was not elected, his candidacy marked the first time a Black Canadian ran for a federal office.
In 1970, the Canadian government honored White with an appointment to the Order of Canada as an officer for his contributions to improving race relations in the country.
White died in 1981.

The Dark House
The Dark House
Harper Perennial, Paperback, 9780060934644, 432pp.
Publication Date: October 1, 2001
But one night changes everything. Trailing a car to a remote suburb, Rollins follows it to a house that, he eerily realizes, was once frequented by his murdered cousin.

The DAR™, Explained
Many companies struggle with understanding whether or not their customers are satisfied and deliberate over what to do about it. Even companies that have used customer satisfaction measurements, or have a loyalty program in place, have difficulty interpreting what to do with their data to improve the situation with customers. For example, if you have a customer that has provided a rating of 8 out of 10 on a feedback question, would you consider this a very satisfied customer because 8 seems like a high rating, or an unsatisfied customer because they didn't give you a 10?
Furthermore, many are surprised to learn that high customer satisfaction is a necessary but not sufficient condition for customer retention. The critical issue is what actions or behaviors the customer is prepared to undertake, based on how they feel about your company. The 'satisfied' customer who gave you an 8 out of 10 rating may be exploring opportunities with your competition and preparing to leave.
This is the challenge with mainstream customer satisfaction measurements that either base results on single questions (such as "What is the likelihood you would refer Company X?") or single question rating systems (such as "Please rate your satisfaction with this service aspect on a scale from 0 to 10").
They do not take into account where your company sits in the marketplace relative to your competition (as perceived by your customers), or what a customer's 'scoring' of your business actually means with respect to how they feel about your company, and their willingness to continue doing business with you.
DAR™ measures the strength of the bond between a customer and a company
The Dunvegan Affinity Rating™ (DAR™) is the Dunvegan Group's proprietary measure of the strength of the bond between a customer and a company. It was specifically designed for the B2B environment, and formulated over the 20 years we have spent specializing in customer satisfaction and retention. It is the indicator that The Dunvegan Group's clients rely on to strengthen their bonds with their customers, thereby increasing customer retention.
The DAR™ differs from many other measures of customer satisfaction because:
- It is determined by more than just one measure
- It involves a comparative measure regarding the competition, and
- It deals with the likelihood of undertaking certain actions rather than how a customer 'feels' about a company.
The DAR™ doesn't just tell you whether customers are satisfied, it provides you with an indication of their intent to continue doing business with you, or not. This information is key in responding to customer retention issues (even those stemming from 'satisfied' customers) and guiding customer care standards of operation. The DAR™ is the only indicator that provides you with a competitive context for assessing your position relative to customer satisfaction and retention.
Raise the DAR™!
In our first year of working with a new client, we establish their baseline DAR™ then in subsequent years, we challenge them to "Raise the DAR™!" Every year, our data and insights assist them in improving customer experience and keeping satisfied customers. Their customer retention rates increase, employees feel increasingly less friction with customers, and the improved customer relationships reflect positively on the bottom line.

For a detailed explanation of The DAR™, please fill in the form below to request your copy of "The DAR™: The Platinum Indicator of Customer Retention." If you would like to review how The DAR™ works and how it can be implemented in your organization to improve customer satisfaction and customer retention, please contact us.

Police, family searching for Centreville man missing since Friday
Published: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 4:28 p.m.
Family members, friends and police are searching for a Centreville man they haven't seen since Friday morning.
Bobby Seales, 40, left home at 9:10 a.m. Friday, saying he was going to get gas, according to family friend Angela Finnen.
His wife, Misty Seales, became concerned when he didn't quickly return from the gas statation, which is just two minutes from their home, Finnen said. She searched for her husband throughout the day and filed a missing persons report as soon as police would take one that evening, Finnen said.
Bobby Seales was driving a silver 2004 Toyota Tacoma double cab, four-wheel drive with Alabama tag number 7A57C93 and a Hoyt Hunting sticker. He has hazel eyes, blonde hair and is between five feet, eight and five feet, 11 inches tall.
Finnen said that the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office has used a department helicopter to search the area while volunteers have searched from small private planes. Teams on the ground have searched areas using all-terrain vehicles and have spoken to staff at gas stations and other businesses in the area. Finnen and other volunteers have hung at least 500 fliers in Bibb County and surrounding counties.
Seales has a wife and three children.
"He is a loving father and husband. I can't say enough good about him and his family," Finnen said. "This is not like him. Something is wrong."
Anyone who can help find Seales is asked to call a local law enforcement agency, the Brent Police Department at 205-926-4647 or Finnen at 205-561-4499.
Reach Stephanie Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 205-722-0210.

Coping With Cancer-Related Fatigue
In this article
What Else Contributes to Cancer-Related Fatigue? continued...
Decreased nutrition from the side effects of treatments (such as nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, taste changes, heartburn, or diarrhea) can cause fatigue.
Cancer treatments, specifically chemotherapy, can decrease the number of red blood cells, causing anemia. Red blood cells deliver oxygen throughout the body, so when tissues don't get enough oxygen, you can feel fatigue.
Some drugs used to treat side effects such as nausea, pain, depression, anxiety, and seizures can cause fatigue.
Research shows that chronic, severe pain also plays a role in fatigue.
Stress can worsen feelings of fatigue. Stress can result from dealing with the disease and the "unknowns," as well as from worrying about daily accomplishments or trying to meet the expectations of others.
Fatigue may occur when you try to maintain your normal daily routine and activities during treatments. Modifying your schedule and activities can help conserve energy.
Depression and fatigue often go hand-in-hand. It may not be clear which started first. One way to sort this out is to try to understand your depressed feelings and how they affect your life. If you are depressed all the time, were depressed before your cancer diagnosis, are preoccupied with feeling worthless and useless, you may need treatment for depression.
How Can I Fight Fatigue?
The best way to combat fatigue is to treat the underlying medical cause. Unfortunately, the exact cause is often unknown, or there may be multiple causes.
Causes of fatigue must be managed on an individual basis. For example, there are treatments that may improve fatigue caused by an under-active thyroid or anemia. The following guidelines may help you combat fatigue.
Assessment of Fatigue
Keep a diary for one week to identify the time of day when you are either most fatigued or have the most energy. Note what you think may be contributing factors.
Be alert to your personal warning signs of fatigue. Signs may include whole-body tiredness unrelieved by sleep, decreased energy or a lack of energy, mental and emotional exhaustion, inability to concentrate, weakness, or malaise.

Xirvir is currently pre-alpha. The following statements are reflections of what the developers hope future versions of Xirvir will achieve. The following statements are NOT descriptions of the current version of Xirvir and, in any case, are mere puffing. Read up on Xirvir's [Current Status] and Follow it on Twitter
Xirvir (pronounced "server") is intended to be a high performance HTTP, SMTP, and XMPP server that is appropriate, easy to manage, and powerful in both production server and third-party application environments. Whether you want to dedicate a single server, a line of racks in a data center, or a lightweight thread in your custom application to run Xirvir to power your web or other applications, Xirvir will outperform your expectations in computing efficiency and ease of configuration.
Xirvir uses a simple configuration system to give you control over the parameters you want to tune, while operating in such a way as to make the tediously bloated configurations files of Apache obsolete.
Xirvir is light on memory and processor usage while delivering impressive performance.
Xirvir's source code is written in C and is easy to read and understand, unlike other major server distributions. Multiple layers of abstraction let you build at a level you are comfortable while allowing easy implementations of imaginative solutions to your problems.
You are welcome and encouraged to contribute to Xirvir. Whereas Apache is old and bloated, and nginx is new but complicated, Xirvir intends to be general purpose but trivially easy to use, powerfully extensible but easy to understand, and coded in such a way as to be safe and secure but self documenting so as to allow any reasonably knowledgeable computer science university student to read and follow.
A good way to start is with Xirvir's [Architecture].
When you're ready to start coding, see how to [Build] Xirvir.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth had two of the strongest cars in the season-opening Daytona 500 but had nothing to show for it after a pair of engine failures.
The Joe Gibbs Racing duo is determined not to let that happen tonight in their return to Daytona International Speedway.
Busch and Kenseth swept the front row in Friday qualifying, with Busch turning a lap at 193.723 mph to win the pole. Kenseth was second at 193.299.
It's Busch's third pole of the season, 13th of his career, but first ever for a restrictor plate race.
"I've not had many opportunities for me to win poles at restrictor plate races, so I've got to thank the team, all the guys at Joe Gibbs Racing that did such a good job building a slick race car," Busch said. "It's a team effort coming to these places and having great race cars. I'm really excited to be starting up front, especially with my teammate Matt Kenseth on the front row with us."
Kenseth led 86 laps at Daytona in February and was out front with teammates Busch and Denny Hamlin right behind him when his engine failed. Two laps later, Busch was headed to the garage with his own race-ending failure.
"We were lined up 1-2-3 when I broke, and Kyle broke shortly after that," said Kenseth. "Our plate stuff has been really fast this year. Qualifying doesn't always mean a lot at a superspeedway, but it's nice to start up front. Hopefully we can keep it up and stay in front of any potential trouble."
Clint Bowyer qualified third and Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. was fifth as Toyota drivers took four of the first five spots. MWR team co-owner Michael Waltrip was seventh.
Kenseth wins Nationwide race
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Matt Kenseth pulled away from traffic on the final restart of Friday night's Nationwide Series race, cruising to a comfortable win at Daytona International Speedway.
The race was on pace to be one of the fastest in Daytona history until a late accident brought out a red-flag stoppage that lasted nearly 10 minutes.
There were only two laps remaining when the race resumed, and Kenseth paired up with defending Truck Series champion James Buescher on the restart. The two easily broke away from the pack, leaving everyone else racing for third place.
Kenseth and Buescher weren't challenged to the finish, with Kenseth taking the win and Buescher finishing second.
It was a turn of events after the tandem of Sam Hornish Jr. and Joey Logano had dominated to lead 64 of the 101 laps.

Characterized by the sudden onset of bilateral leg pain progressing to numb, cool, paretic extremities, this syndrome is difficult to distinguish from a bifurcation embolus.
Our purpose is to review a group of patients with acute thrombosis, evaluating the problems and results of surgical treatment. Sudden thrombosis of the lower aortic segment appears to be a terminal event associated with severe iliofemoral disease and progressive cardiac failure.
Clinical Material
Six patients with acute occlusion of the subrenal aorta have been seen in the past ten years. Five of the six patients with the acute syndrome had a history of peripheral vascular disease dating back several months to years (Fig 1). Preceding the aortic thrombosis, two patients had illiac bypass grafts and one had successive amputations leading to hip disarticulation.1 Two patients

I am not typically a fan of pre-made breakfast foods, however, I have to say that these egg patties are the exception. I find them to be super convenient, fluffy, and they taste good. They aren't tough like some breakfast sandwich eggs. They actually have the taste of really good eggs - not gourmet - but truly good. They are not salty which I am thankful for so you can salt/pepper/season to your taste. I hope that Walmart continues to carry this product as I've not seen it elsewhere and if you are picky about your breakfast sandwich - this product enables you to customize your biscuit, bagel or croissant. I found them to be a good value and would recommend them.
This product is great! It's tasty and convenient. Won't hesitate to purchase this again.
What a wonderful product! The taste is wonderful and they microwave perfectly. You can use these on most diets to get your protien and they actually have a good flavor (very important!). I take these to work and dice them up in my salad. sometimes I use them in place of bread when doing a small sprout sandwich or sausage buiscut. My freezer is packed with them!!! My kids love them and they sure beat cold cereal!
I love these scramble egg patties and can't find them at Walmart anymore. I ate them for breakfast every morning. Please bring them back.
These egg pattys are good. Make sasauge and bisquits all the time.
But when making sasauge and bisquits you need 10 egg pattys.
Any way to put 10 in a bag instead of 9
I love these and have used them with carry in breakfasts at work, where others love them! Why are these so hard to find? I wish more Walmarts carried these!
Very good with an English muffin and American cheese. The only trouble is they seem to not have them in stock when I have shopped the last few times.
Great tasting, fast and easy to fix.
We have purchased this product for years, serving with English muffins and cheese to create tasty and quick breakfast sandwiches. The past two months, the product has significantly changed-they are rubbery and appear to contain less egg than the original patties. Will try one more bag and if the poor quality is consistent, will no longer use this product!
My entire family loved this product. Please bring this product back. I recommended this product to so many people and we are all looking for it. It was a great product especially when you are short on time or just want a quick snack.
In my opinion, these taste great! I eat them all the time and they are especially great for a quick bite to eat. My husband really likes them also.
The Scrambled egg cheese patties are great. The Scrambled egg patties without the cheese are somewhat tasteless.

I'm trying to update my wife's HP laptop from Vista to 7. I followed the following steps:
- Run full backup to external HD.
- Turn on computer
- Insert update disc
- Select "Update," after de-authorizing iTunes.
- Leave it to do its magic.
This morning I went down stairs and to my horror got a
Press any key to load from disc.....missing Operating System on a black screen.
Luckily my wife's school isn't in session, but she's taking a few summer classes and really can't afford to be without a computer for a long period of time.
Any ideas? My only thoughts are that her HD was encrypted (she's in nursing school, HIPPA stuff), and I'm curious if that would have corrupted something.
Do I have any options other than clicking "Other" and reintalling everything?
Yes: I disconnected the drive first.
Boot order: Notebook HD, CD, USB...
Backup: just the windows backup. It was better than my wife's 'nothing'.

Excellent. I made these per the recipe in my Jan/Feb 2010 issue of the magazine. My tips: Press the cheese filling down so that the top coat of batter will cover it well. If you use organic figs like I did note that they will be dryer than those preserved with chemicals. It will turn out fine if you don't do this, but next time I plan to either briefly steam or soak my fig pieces to make them as moist as the picture seems to suggest. I used an excellent goat cheese (Whole Foods) which made all the difference. Don't use feta for this - would be too dry and assertive. I think next time I would use more cheese than the recipe called for. This is an excellent combination of flavors, and it is not cloyingly sweet.
Honey- & Goat Cheese-Filled Fig Muffins
From EatingWell: January/February 2010
Sweet figs and a filling of tangy goat cheese give a surprising twist to these hearty breakfast muffins. Make a batch of these on the weekend and enjoy them for breakfast all week long. If you're not a fan of goat cheese, try them with cream cheese instead.
49 Reviews for Honey- & Goat Cheese-Filled Fig Muffins
I really like this recipe and have made twice so far. when i ran out of figs i used dates instead. The first time i made it though, the cheese i used was not very good quality because it ruined the muffins! it tasted like a barn in my mouth, i just couldn't make myself eat them. Maybe it was a bad batch but i used laura chenels goat cheese for that one and never again. The second time i got a fresh local chevre and it was much much better. I have been freezing these so I can take my time eating them too. I also add a tiny bit of fresh ground flax to the muffin batter.
I love these muffins and the recipe is really easy to customize. I've started making them with 100% oatmeal, rather than flour -- just grind up the oats in a coffee grinder to create flour and replace one of the whole eggs with two egg whites. I also like chopped dried nectarines and frozen blueberries in place of the figs (although the figs are fabulous, too), and I always add chopped walnuts or almonds plus a few dashes of cinnamon. My husband's not so big on goat cheese, so I haven't used it for the filling . . . yet.
These muffins were fabulous. I had to use cream cheese instead of goat's cheese and I can't wait to try them with goat's cheese, probably will be even better. Very easy to make, did stick a bit to paper muffin cups. Stored well in fridge, only lasted 3 days between my husband and I, so I didn't try freezing them. Did anyone freeze them?
I, too, loved this recipe. But I hesitated to make it for a long while due to the "3/4 cup crumbled goat cheese." I knew this was going to be messy and it was. Trying to crumble Neufchatel cheese sounded even worse. I would appreciate an ingredient such as this to be listed by weight. Most home cooks I know now use a kitchen scale regularly.

Guitarist Corey Beaulieu of Florida metallers TRIVIUM recently spoke to Music Radar about performance, live influences and pre-show rituals. Check out the clip below.TRIVIUM's new album, "Vengeance Falls", made Top 10 chart debuts in Japan, Australia, Germany and Austria as well as a Top 15 debut in Canada and a Top 25 debut in the United Kingdom. This marks the acclaimed metallers second consecutive Top 15 debut in the U.S. and highest-career debuts around the globe — including a No. 2 debut in Japan. "Vengeance Falls" sold 17,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The record — which was produced by David Draiman (DISTURBED, DEVICE) — arrived in stores on October 15, 2013 via Roadrunner. TRIVIUM's previous CD, "In Waves", opened with 22,000 units to land at No. 13 — the highest U.S. chart entry of the band's career. The group's 2008 effort, "Shogun", premiered with just under 24,000 copies to debut at No. 23. The effort followed up "The Crusade", which registered a first-week tally of 31,000 copies in October 2006 to enter the chart at No. 25. TRIVIUM's "Strife" video was filmed in July 2013 at Studio One in Orlando and was directed by Ramon Boutviseth, who has previously worked with NONPOINT, DARKEST HOUR, INCUBUS and ALL THAT REMAINS, among others. TRIVIUM recently finished touring North America with DEVILDRIVER.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Although the title sounds like an arcade game, this pretty straightforward product slants towards gals with apparent Asian and Pilipino heritage.
Most hit it off quite well, and the scene with Lee Stone and Arcadia is nothing short of exhausting hot fun. Stone really appears eager and inspired, and Arcadia is determined to get as much pleasure as possible from everything from her mouth to her ass and all points between. Great job, tremendous non-stop energy.
The others in the remaining four scenes all do quite well in keeping with the interracial sex theme of young Asians doing white studs.

Arkansas Farm Bureau Disappointed in Senate Farm Bill Vote
There are 1 comment on the ArkansasMatters story from Jun 21, 2012, titled Arkansas Farm Bureau Disappointed in Senate Farm Bill Vote. In it, ArkansasMatters reports that:
Senators approved a giant farm bill Thursday that is estimated to cut the deficit by almost $24 billion, largely by ending direct payments to farmers and replacing them with taxpayer- subsidized crop insurance to assist farmers in need.

I read in the Russellville Courier last week that Senator Mark Pryor was the poorest of the states lawmakers. The article said,U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, a Democrat, was the poorest member of the states delegation, reporting that he and his family had between $16,001 and $65,000 in two bank accounts. Pryor reported two mortgages valued up to $550,000 as his liabilities. I also have seen the website www.retirepryor.com that says Senator Pryor and his wife may have been taking as much as $24,000 every month from a company that owes the IRS millions of dollars. In 2006, as he did recently, Sen. Pryor declared no outside income. Whats going on? Are the accusations of Pryor using political clout on the IRS true? Sen. Pryor should set the record straight with documentation to clear the air of these accusations.

Another day at the PDC, another set of exciting events. I started the day early again, though we made it to the morning's keynote a couple of minutes late. We did see, however, the introduction and demonstration of various designer tools, including the verbosely named Microsoft Expression codename "Sparkle Interactive Designer", or Sparkle for short. Wow, that was nice! Hold on, let me do that again.
That's right -- it's OK to talk about it now, because we've announced it! :-) I can't tell you how tired I was of being asked, hey, do we really have to do all of our XAML work by hand in VisualStudio? Aren't you doing a designer? and then have to tell people that I couldn't talk about any potential future plans. Well, it's public now, so please, do come on down to the hands-on lab area and play with it yourself!
Incidentally, Sparkle was definitely the super red hot item in the hands-on lab area today. It was great to see that level of excitement. Many people came to do the lab, but some just wanted to see it and run it.
Unfortunately, between hands-on lab duty and track lounge duty I did not get the opportunity to attend any track sessions. This is particularly unfortunate because I hear that Pablo killed with David Teitlebaum's 3D cloth demo in his afternoon presentation. I guess the audience was excited about real-time video textured on an animating 3D mesh :-).
The other interesting highlight to mention was actually outside of the conference proper -- it was the party for all staff and customers at Universal Studios. Let me just go ahead and say that the Mummy ride rocks! The chocolate fondue was awesome, too, though you won't find that on any ordinary day at Universal ;-).
Tomorrow is Ask The Experts -- if you are attending the PDC come on down and we'll have a chat!

Ruiz finished 2-for-3 with two runs batted in for the Phillies, as Jose Contreras got the win in relief of Cole Hamels for Philadelphia.
Yadier Molina was 3-for-4 with an RBI for St. Louis, while Blake Hawksworth was hit with the loss after allowing Ruiz's dinger in the bottom of the 10th.

This is What the Protest Movement Looks Like
I had planted myself at what I was told would be the head of the D.C. march, only to find that the march had many heads, or at least many people with many ideas about where the head of the march should be. And of course, each one of these people seemed to have a bullhorn.
Cindy Sheehan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al were supposed to lead off the march, followed by the Gold Star Families for Peace, including Lynn Bradach. But because some of the marchers had other ideas, this is what the protest movement looked like at around 12:30 today: Native Americans against drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other such groups marching off in one direction, while the military families, Al Sharpton, and others prepared to march in a different direction.
At one point I saw Jesse Jackson and Cindy Sheehan bust through a line of police horses and into a police car, so that they could be whisked up ahead of the anarchists and Palestinian nationalists and anti-IMF protesters who had taken the lead. They never did make it to the actual front, but Jesse and Cindy did manage to charge in and create a nice moment for the press gathered in front of the White House. Around them, a strange scene unfolded, often seeming more like the WTO protests than an anti-war march.
I waited at the White House for Lynn and the Gold Star moms to pass. By then they were stuck in the middle of the march, outflanked by the anarchists, outmaneuvered by Jesse and Cindy, but still full of rage. They finally arrived, stopped in front of the White House, held up pictures of their dead sons, and chanted: "Not one more."

Theater deserves a real review
Published: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 11:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 11:30 a.m.
To The Editor: Contrary to Kitty Turners approach to theatrical reviewing, a typical review does not simply rehash the plot of a play. I have read countless reviews of shows at Hendersonville Little Theatre, however, that do just that.
The point of a review is to tease the possible audience member into seeing the play and thus allow him/her to either agree or disagree with the reviewer. It is not to give away plot points or surprises.
Not only that, but of all the reviews from HLT Ive read, I cant remember any without name misspellings. For instance, in the latest review the director is said to be James Dentine. In reality the director is Jason Denton.
Later in the article he is named as Director Denton. Why couldnt the reviewer check in the playbill for the correct spelling? Does anyone check up on the facts?
As a theatre director, actor, and audience member, I would love T-N to have an actual review of an HLT show at some point. And as the wife of the latest director, Id love to see his name spelled correctly.
Heather Dentine Denton

Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited (Hardcover)
From one of the 20th century's great writers comes one of the finest autobiographies of our time. "Speak, Memory" was first published by Vladimir Nabokov in 1951 as "Conclusive Evidence" and then assiduously revised and republished in 1966. The Everyman's Library edition includes, for the first time, the previously unpublished "Chapter 16" the most significant unpublished piece of writing by the master, newly released by the Nabokov estate which provided an extraordinary insight into "Speak, Memory."
Nabokov's memoir is a moving account of a loving, civilized family, of adolescent awakenings, flight from Bolshevik terror, education in England, and emigre life in Paris and Berlin. The Nabokovs were eccentric, liberal aristocrats, who lived a life immersed in politics and literature on splendid country estates until their world was swept away by the Russian revolution when the author was eighteen years old. "Speak, Memory" vividly evokes a vanished past in the inimitable prose of Nabokov at his best.
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
About the Author
One of the twentieth century s master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. He studied French and Russian literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, then lived in Berlin and Paris, where he launched a brilliant literary career. In 1940 he moved to the United States, and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977.
Praise For…
"[Nabokov] has fleshed the bare bones of historical data with hilarious anecdotes and with a felicity of style that makes Speak, Memory a constant pleasure to read. Confirmed Nabokovians will relish the further clues and references to his fictional works that shine like nuggets in the silver stream of his prose." —Harper's
"Scintillating…One finds here amazing glimpses into the life of a world that has vanished forever." —New York Times

Now's time to do it right
Published: Monday, November 23, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 20, 2009 at 2:41 p.m.
To The Editor: For months now misinformation about health care reform has been circulated throughout this country trying to intimidate or frighten people from reforming our health care system.
This has been going on while millions of Americans have been suffering from not having health care coverage because of the inability to afford it, or having it canceled because of filing a claim, preexisting conditions, or loss of employment.
Again, we see big business and their lobbyists trying to run a country through scare tactics, not wanting change to benefit the public; only to line their pockets with profits on drug sales, increased costs, and taking advantage of the elderly.
On Nov. 7 meaningful health care reform was passed in the House. Now it is up to our senators to "Do the Right Thing," and pass meaningful health care reform. We are on the verge of making this country stronger, and protecting our citizens young and old from disease, sickness, and injury.
