ADA Press Release
ADA Encourages Wearing Mouthguards During Recreational Activities
April is National Facial Protection Month
Contact Information:
Telephone: 312-440-2806
E-mail: email@example.com (Journalists) or Contact ADA (All Others)
CHICAGO, April 2, 2012 – Warm weather brings thoughts of long bike rides, rollerblading and skateboarding. Just as you would suit up in your helmet, kneepads and wrist guards, don't forget your mouthguard too, according to the American Dental Association (ADA).
"One fall or collision with a fellow biker could damage your smile, so it's better to be safe than sorry," said Dr. Alice Boghosian, ADA Consumer Advisor spokesperson and a practicing dentist in the Chicago area. "Mouthguards aren't just for football players or hockey players. Mouthguards should be worn while participating in any sport that involves the risk of injury, such as basketball, volleyball or gymnastics. Why risk damaging your gums or losing a tooth?"
National Facial Protection Month in April offers dental professionals the opportunity to encourage children and adults to use protective mouthguards during sports and certain recreational activities such as rollerblading and skateboarding.
Mouthguards, which typically cover the upper teeth, can cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, according to the ADA. A properly fitted mouthguard will stay in place and be easy for users to talk and breathe while wearing.
There are three types of mouthguards:
- Stock mouthguards are inexpensive and come pre-formed, ready to wear. Unfortunately, they often do not fit very well. They can be bulky and can make breathing and talking difficult.
- Boil and bite mouthguards are available at many sporting goods stores, and offer a better fit than stock mouthguards. They should be softened in water, then inserted and allowed to adapt to the shape of the mouth. Follow the directions carefully to avoid a poor fit.
- Custom-fitted mouthguards are made by a dentist in a dental office or a dental laboratory based on a dentist's instructions. An impression is taken of the teeth and a mouthguard is created using the model. Custom-fitted mouthguards are more expensive than the other versions, but because they are customized they can offer a better fit than anything you can buy off the shelf.
"Choose the mouthguard that feels comfortable in your mouth. If you don't like the way it feels, you won't wear it," said Dr. Boghosian. "If you aren't sure what type of mouthguard to buy, just ask your dentist."

Gabriel García Márquez
Saying things like "we've gone from white hoods to business suits" is one way to seem to speak to contemporary racism's less vocal, yet still insidious nature. But it does a disservice to the public understanding of racism, and in the process undercuts the mission of drawing attention to contemporary racism's severity.
It wasn't the KKK that wrote the slave codes. It wasn't the armed vigilantes who conceived of convict leasing, postemancipation. It wasn't hooded men who purposefully left black people out of New Deal legislation. Redlining wasn't conceived at a Klan meeting in rural Georgia. It wasn't "the real racists" who bulldozed black communities in order to build America's highway system. The Grand Wizard didn't run COINTELPRO in order to dismantle the Black Panthers. The men who raped black women hired to clean their homes and care for their children didn't hide their faces.
The ones in the hoods did commit violent acts of racist terrorism that shouldn't be overlooked, but they weren't alone. Everyday citizens participated in and attended lynchings as if they were state fairs, bringing their children and leaving with souvenirs. These spectacles, if not outright endorsed, were silently sanctioned by elected officials and respected members of the community.
It's easy to focus on the most vicious and dramatic forms of racist violence faced by past generations as the site of "real" racism. If we do, we can also point out the perpetrators of that violence and rightly condemn them for their actions. But we can't lose sight of the fact that those individuals alone didn't write America's racial codes. It's much harder to talk about how that violence was only reinforcing the system of political, economic and cultural racism that made America possible. That history indicts far more people, both past and present.

We like to call it the Super Leadville; the Prodigy takes the already stellar performance of the Leadville, perfect for alpine climbing or cross-country skiing, and kicks it up a notch. The hybrid construction combines a softshell with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® for the perfect balance of warmth, breathability and weather resistance. Technical features like a moisture-wicking DriClime® lined collar and a form-follows-function design makes this jacket a wintertime virtuoso.
Look for this item to be back and available in the Fall.
WINDSTOPPER® fabrics offer windproof and breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment. Our WINDSTOPPER® collection keeps you comfortable while providing the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of activities and weather conditions.
WINDSTOPPER® is a bonded 3 layer protection. The outer layer is high quality water repellent polyester micro fleece; the middle layer is ultra-light WINDSTOPPER® membrane and the inner layer contains polyester tricot knitting.
With its 3-layer construction, the WINDSTOPPER® membrane is bonded between a high performance fabric on one side and a quick-drying polyester fleece on the other. The durable water repellent finish offers additional weather protection.
WINDSTOPPER® protects your body's warmth from the chilling effects of wind and weather and prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapor to easily escape. The unique WINDSTOPPER® membrane totally stops wind from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture to release unhindered for 2X more breathability than comparable windproof products.
WINDSTOPPER® performs well in outdoor activities, such as hiking, backpacking, cycling, hunting, mountain sports, skiing, snowboarding and trekking where weather conditions might include strong winds, light snow and rain. It retains heat not moisture and is 2 1/2 times warmer in 30mph wind than traditional fleece with no loss to breathability. And because its 'easy care', you can wash it in your machine.
M2 Softshells offer a great balance between weather resistance, breathability and thermal protection, excellent for a wide range of aerobic activities in moderate conditions.
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.
Content: 78% Polyester, 22% Nylon
Total Weight: 32 g/m2
Why do we encourage proper care of our clothing and gear?

"May the light within you guide your way on. Because when you look to the outside for light, there is a possibility that you may be blinded and exploited. But one thing shall never betray a woman: her own light and her own radiance as a woman. If the light within you can guide you, you will definitely excel. The time has come when this exploitation must stop. The time has come when a daughter should be treated as a daughter, a mother should be treated as a mother, a wife should be treated as a wife, and over and above all, woman should be treated as a woman."
"Three things: wise, radiant and sober. Early in the morning when a woman rises, she should know and see that she is sober, she is wise and she is radiant. The whole day she should experience that. At night she should make an account of it and tally the balance. You have to train yourself each day into the mystery of your unknown, Adi Shakti, your symbol. It means you are Infinity; you are the primal power.
"When are you going to decide, 'This is the end of my exploitation—I am going to live today as a woman.' When are you going to learn to stop being anything other than a woman?"
"By construction, the fulfillment of a woman is motherhood; and motherhood does not mean that she gets pregnant and delivers a baby. If you understand her total behavior, you will understand her motherhood. Her motherhood is service, her motherhood is sacrifice, her motherhood is relationship. When she knows motherhood, she is fulfilled."
"Never be ungrateful in a relationship to any woman. For if you do not respect a symbol, then you do not respect your clarity of consciousness, and woman is a symbol of regeneration. We call it the symbol of Adi Shakti."
"You cannot love me if you will not love your first teacher, who is woman. You are born of a woman. If you do not learn to respect woman, the Supreme Consciousness will not talk to you. You will end up with broken homes and broken hearts."
"Your inner concept and your outer projection have to be in absolute balance. From beginning to end, you must act as a woman in absolute grace."
"All man needs is a comprehensive understanding that he shall be comforted by the woman he's in relationship with. Man seeks a woman with whom he can put his head on her pillow and speak to her in confidence, in trust. If man cannot trust you, then relationship with that man is a bust."
"Accept yourself early in the morning when you look in the mirror or when you open your eyes—just say, "By the Grace of God, I am a complete woman." One affirmation only, and remember it throughout the day. Dress up for yourself, be for yourself, and carry yourself. You will never be handicapped."
"Your beauty, your duty, your makeup, your knowledge, your degrees, your education, and whatever else you may want to use to your advantage are based on only one thing: From beginning to end, you act as a woman in absolute grace."
Woman: The Ashtapuja
A Poem by Yogi Bhajan
"My woman is beautiful. She has eight hands. She walks on a tiger—regal, beautiful woman. I see her and I love her. When I am with any woman, I like her to walk ahead of me. Because I learned from my woman, she walks ahead of me. In her royalty, in her dignity, in her imperial grace, she is the mightiest of the mighty. She is the majesty of the majesty. She is the divine of the divine. She is the only grace before which the Almighty God bows. To which we say, 'Pritam Bhagauti simar kai Guru Nanak lain dhiae…' She is Ashtapuja, the Goddess of the Universe, Conqueror of all, Most Powerful, Most Wonderful, Most Graceful, Most Infinite, She who rides on the Maneater, in Majesty and Dignity, in such a splendid identity, the whole world feels it as a fresh breath of life. Her very presence is the Totality of God's Totality—She is Her Holiness."

How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.

Reviews for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff(28)
Sort By :
Good flavor and the meat was very tender. Great over noodles or with creamed potatoes.
I've been trying to find a good Stroganoff recipe and this is definitely not it. I was very disappointed ! Unfortunately this recipe has absolutely no taste whatsoever! I'm still on the hunt for a good one!
Everyone in the family loves this recipe. The beef always comes out melt in your mouth tender.
Using the crock pot was a great way to make beef stroganoff! I thought it was a little salty, but that was the stroganoff seasoning mix I used. I really liked the flavor the port wine added, I'm glad I used it instead of the broth.
What burns me is when people rate a recipe that they have changed. Also my question to the woman who rated this recipe 1-Star...seriously ketchup and mustard in Stroganoff????!!!!!! Did you buy the right seasoning package????? This recipe was very good....I did use beef broth as opposed to Port simply because I didn't have any Port

Today's Cuban cigars are good quality but lack the richness of years past
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
The Sopranos, Mar/Apr 01
It was about 3 a.m. when I finally gave the Partagas Short to my Cuban friend. Granted, he had been dancing most of the night with some other friends at the Macumba Habana club in Havana, and he was fairly well lit on seven-year-old Havana Club rum. So, I wasn't expecting him to notice anything special about the cigar when I gave it to him. But you should have seen his face.
"Wow, man, this is a great smoke," he said, drawing on the cigar as if it were his last smoke before facing a firing squad. He was looking at the small cigar as he smoked it and slowly shaking it in his hand as if it were a long-lost friend. ¿This has power. This has flavor. What is it?¿ he asked.
I told him that it was a Partagas Short and that it came from a cedar cabinet of 50 that I had been storing in Havana for five years. He shook his head and said, ¿You don¿t get cigars like this anymore.¿
If anyone would know, he would. He works in the Cuban cigar trade. But more important, he is right. You can¿t get Cuban cigars like you used to. As much as people like to say otherwise, Cuban cigars, on the whole, are just not the same as they used to be. It¿s not that the new cigars are bad quality (some are, of course), it¿s that most of them on the market today are only good to very good smokes. Occasionally, you can come across some phenomenal ones. I recently lit up a Cohiba Robusto from the current crop in Havana shops and it was superb¿rich and spicy with loads of coffee character, just how it should be.
With a few exceptions, however, Cuban cigars today do not have the richness or flavor of those from four or five years ago. Smoke a 10-year-old Habanos and the difference is even more stark. A few months ago, I smoked a Cohiba Robusto and an Epicure No. 2 (also a robusto) from 1990, and they were both mind-blowing. The Cohiba smelled so good in the box that I didn¿t want to light it. It reeked of freshly ground coffee, cloves, pepper and cedar. It was full bodied with decadently rich flavors that lingered on the palate. The Epicure No. 2 was even better, with floral, cinnamon and milk chocolate notes. It was medium bodied with a wonderfully fresh aftertaste.
By comparison, the new cigars on the market, from Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas to Montecristo No. 5s and Cohiba panetelas, have much less flavor than any of the older cigars. Also, they taste more alike than they used to. I find a large number of the Cuban cigars I now buy and smoke look good, but they all seem to have a similar medium body and creamy, spicy character. They are not exactly the same, but the differences in flavor, in brands and in sizes are less well defined than before.
Some Cubans in the cigar trade tell me that my palate has changed and that I am so used to big, rich cigars that I can¿t tell the difference anymore. I guess that¿s a nice way of saying that my palate is burned out. But that¿s nonsense. I don¿t have to defend my tasting abilities to anyone, considering my taste buds earn my living. More to the point is that most Cuban cigar aficionados I speak to agree with my assessment. They yearn for the days of big, rich smokes, when the differences between brands and types of cigars were more than obvious; the days when Bolivar Belicosos were as rich and powerful as a serious espresso; the days when Romeo y Julieta Belicosos were as flavorful, aromatic and fine as a cup of refreshing Darjeeling tea. They were both great cigars, but completely different in character.
If you think I am way off, than take a look at the Cuban cigar forum on our Web site. There¿s nearly always a posting on this subject.
So what has happened? It¿s hard to point a finger at one reason why Cuban cigars are no longer as rich and powerful as they once were. The problems are numerous with Cuban cigar production, but the most understandable is the continued shortage of good tobacco, both filler and wrapper. Without the best materia prima (raw material), the Cubans are not going to make great cigars. It¿s like a great chef who uses only frozen ingredients; he¿s never going to cook something outstanding.
Quality wrapper tobacco has been a big problem. Mother Nature has been hard on the Cubans for the past few years, not only making the growing of tobacco difficult, but also the curing due to wet weather in the spring. The introduction of Habanos 2000 (which has been abandoned this year) and other hybrids has been less than 100 percent successful. Most become susceptible to disease within a year or two. Plus, the processing of the new wrappers is not as fine-tuned as with the late and great El Corojo tobacco variety. Some say the wrapper processing has been grossly rushed, which obviously also undermines quality.

Fort Bend County Theft Lawyer Andy Nolen has 20 years experience helping people charged with misdemeanor or felony theft, theft by check, employee theft and theft by receiving. If you have been charged with theft be aware of the following:
1. Theft is considered a crime of moral turpitude. It is a legal term of art which has no statutory definition but courts have ruled that theft IS a crime of moral turpitude.
Conviction of a crime of moral turpitude can be used against a witness for 10 years after conviction or release from confinement (whichever is later) in any proceeding to discredit their testimony. This means that if you are convicted of, for example, misdemeanor theft, the conviction can be used against you in a completely unrelated case like a divorce or custody hearing, for the next 10 years to discredit your testimony by showing that you are a dishonest person.
Federal statutes use the term "Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude" to indicate crimes which can can cause a non-citizen resident alien to become eligible for deportation. The Federal statutes don't give a list of these crimes, but it appears to mean the same types of crimes as the State. If you are a non-citizen resident alien and you have been charged with an offense which may be considered a crime of moral turpitude a conviction could result in denial of admission to the country.
2. A theft conviction is on your record for life. Many people think a conviction is on your record in the same way as a bad credit report. They are wrong.
3. If you get deferred adjudication, the theft offense still shows up on your record…for life. You need to follow up a successful deferred adjudication with a Petition for Nondisclosure. A Petition for Nondisclosure makes your record hidden from the public. Law enforcement can still see it.
4. If you were an employee and you stole from your employer, the District Attorney will usually not offer Deferred Adjudication and you may have to argue your case before the judge.
5. Fort Bend County Theft Lawyer Andy Nolen has noticed that many people want to "get the case over as quickly as possible". If your convicted, your case will never end, it will be on your record for life and you will be discussing it at every job interview you have from now on.
Fort Bend County Theft Lawyer Andy Nolen has 20 years experience, has had over 3000 clients, and has had hundreds of cases dismissed. If you have been charged with any kind of theft case, please call Fort Bend County Theft Lawyer Andy Nolen at 713-697-4373 for a free consultation.

How To Build And Finish A Project
"For sale: unfinished project. Best of everything. Ran out of money and time. My loss, your gain. Price: cheap!"
We've seen a ton of ads just like this and you probably have, too. Many of us (the author included) have had the dubious honor of placing such an ad. It's no fun.
Starting a project is easy, but finishing is quite another matter.
What's the best way to finish a project? We'll explore a few different approaches and methods. We'll also talk about the best ways to get in over your head, get discouraged, and quit. Before you turn another wrench or spend another dime, check out the rest of this story. What follows is our best advice about how to get it done.
Choosing a Project
What's the best blank canvas? It's the one that fits your 'wheeling needs, your budget, and most importantly, your life.
What trails do you want to run? What size tires are best for these trails? What other hardware (axles, lockers, etc.) is needed for success? Chances are you already know the answers to these questions.
As for budget, you don't need mile-deep pockets to build a worthy trail rig. Of course, you can't build a project with empty pockets, either. Do you have some parts you can trade with other 'wheelers for the stuff you need? Are there other skills you can offer in exchange for off-road hardware? If you can paint, weld, or turn wrenches, chances are you can do some successful bartering.
A project must fit your life. If you've got a place to work on a long-term project, you can build something that takes longer and is more involved. Having a workspace also lends itself well to buying something on the cheap that needs to be completely re-done. Something else to consider: if you need to carry extra passengers, you'll need to find a rig that's got the required interior space.
There's another factor that comes heavily into play. It's the aftermarket support, or lack of it, that a given vehicle enjoys. Owners of JK Wranglers can go and pluck almost anything they need from the aftermarket vine. Owners of Nissan Pathfinders know the meaning of "slim pickin's."
Our top choices for a budget rig: the Jeep YJ Wrangler, the '79-to-'95 Toyota 4x4 pickup, the '84-to-'89 Toyota 4Runner, and the Suzuki Samurai. These rigs are capable on the trail, benefit from widespread aftermarket support, and can be purchased for relatively low bucks. Older rigs, such as the Scout 800 or Scout II, can be bought for reasonable amounts, but they're not as easy to find. We'd be in remiss not to mention the Jeep CJ-5, which was produced in prodigious numbers over a wide span of years. Do a little hunting and you can come up with an inexpensive CJ-5.
"Go Big or Go Home" Revisited
While the saying sounds cool, it's also a recipe for project completion disaster. Going bigger and better means you'll spend all your time building instead of on the trail. If you can't go big, you don't have to stay home. Instead, go just big enough, and then go everywhere you've been dreaming about.

ALPENA - The Michigan Department of Transportation began a project in Alpena on Wednesday where ramps leading from the street to area sidewalks will be replaced and made more handicap friendly and resurface some roads. While the state is doing the work the City of Alpena is taking advantage of the construction to do some minor water and sewer system repairs before the new surface is put on the streets.
City Engineer Rich Sullenger said the city is going to swap out 10 water valves and make one water system improvement. He said United Water will take care of the sewer system maintenance.
"Any time you resurface or touch a corner you have to be sure the work meets the American Disability Act Standards," Sullenger said. "The ramps will be made with a textured concrete and have a contrasting color so they will be more visible for people with limited eyesight and for people who are blind they can feel the rougher texture."

Workers tear up a section of sidewalk on the corner of State Avenue and Dunbar Street. The sidewalks and ramps at the intersections are being replaced in order to meet the American Disabilities Act standards. The new ramps will be a contrasting color of the regular sidewalks and have textured concrete. The city also is going to do some needed work on water valves and water and sewer lines before the roads are paved. City Engineer Rich Sullenger said the project will be ongoing until about Memorial Day.
Sullenger said the project began on Wednesday and will continue until about Memorial Day when MDOT hopes to have the work completed. He said the work is being done from Richardson Street to 11th Avenue on US-23. On State Avenue Wednesday some sections of the road were down to one lane of traffic and lines of vehicles were extended for many blocks. There are also red cones blocking through traffic on some streets near the construction sites. Sullenger said that will continue for the near future.
"The lane closures will be off and on and when there are closures there will be flag control for the traffic," Sullenger said. "I'm not sure what the duration will be for the lane closures, but I would seek alternate routes."

Holly, the running back leaving early under the Roster Blotter heading is from UNLV, not Ole Miss.
@AlexDusza Wrong Rebel! Sorry, UNLV fans. WIll fix.
Assorted newsy bits — of varying degrees of importance — you might have missed over the long weekend:
• Didn't we already do this headline a week ago? "Imminent" can mean a lot of things! In the cosmic sense, the NCAA's investigation of Miami has spanned less than a fraction of an eyeblink, but here we are, riding on a human-speed space-time wave, just twiddling our bloggy thumbs until the 'Canes' notice of allegations drops. The latest rumblings, per Bruce Feldman, involve a very large book being thrown at ex-Miami and current Louisville assistant Clint Hurtt and other former 'Canes colleagues. We'll have more on this when we actually see the notice of allegations, unless we don't see this notice of allegations, in which case we'll be right back here next Monday writing a third variation on this same headline.
• And speaking of the NCAA: On the final day of the annual NCAA convention, the latest raft of changes — touted as an effort to streamline NCAA regulations — were unveiled. Your friendly neighborhood Bylaw Blogger takes a look at one proposal, regarding recruiting start dates, that was left out of the bundle.
• Te'o Things. The current talking point from Manti Te'o is that he was not playing below expected standards in the BCS title game due to the distraction from that whole Fake Dead Girlfriend Story … Notre Dame had unsurprising reasons for not disclosing their knowledge of the hoax at an earlier date … Katie Couric is expected to speak to the Te'o family this week … hey, lookit, another fake Notre Dame thing.

Bryan Bennett is leaving Oregon … South Carolina's Ace Sanders makes his NFL draft declaration official … various comings and goings on Florida's roster … Kansas' Turner Baty is leaving the Jayhawks after a year … UNLV's Bradley Randle declares early … Auburn's Shon Coleman gets a sixth year … Charlie Weis announces linebacker Ben Heeney's misdemeanor battery charge will be handled internally.

I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

Today on Martha's blog, she has posted photos of the hike we all went on around Jordan Pond in the Acadia National Forest in Maine. It's really a lovely spot to go hiking and Sharkey and I love the trail. When Martha and company stopped for a little rest, she took off our leashes. You know how we're always up for a little adventure so we wandered off a bit to see what we could see. Here's proof of just how silly Sharkey can be.
Our little escape at Jordan PondPosted by Francesca

Wow what a beautiful place to explore, you are lucky and full of energy no wonder after seeing this landscape it would make even an old dog like me young again(well for a few minutes!)
Sharkey you get into so many messes from skunks to mud kiddo!
I envy you your youth, happy summer days to you & Franny.
Mrs. Bosley Chow Chow
Cuties! It looks like you both had an interesting and beautiful adventure. So lucky!
love uuuu
Sharkey - YUK - why did you get so muddy??? I'm sure Martha was not pleased with you, a bath must of been in your future.
Your hike looks like lots of fun. I'm not allowed off the leash because I take off and won't come back when called. I come back to mom when I'm tired and ready to go home, she gets really mad.
So have you and Francesca discussed a play date with your blogger buddies with Martha??
what a BEAUTIFUL place! mud and all, looks like you pups had a marvelous time...mommy delia says it reminds her of Bavaria where she once lived ..there she found a kitty and named it Riesse after the Lake there http://www.squidoo.com/GarmischGermany
Hey F&S!
You're really just a couple of Girl Scouts!
And Franny, Pic # 4 of 11, love that little sway to the pose. I imagined that you were humming 'Oh, Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me...'. Were you? I was.
And Miss S., Pic #5 of 11, 'Oh the shark bites... with 'her' teeth, dear...and 'she' keeps them...pearly white!'
What a wonderful summer you're having! And so very well deserved! Good girls!
Hi F & S:
Franny, I didn't know you couldn't swim until Sharkey said so. It scared me to see you standing on the big boulder over the water even though I know you are careful. No doubt Martha would jump in and get you if you fell in, but still...! Sharkey, you really cracked me up in picture #11 with your muddy legs and paws and yes, you did look a bit like Francesca from the 'waist' down. I guess it was bath time when you got home, huh? Thanks sweeties for another daily laugh!
Mrrrow. Oh noooo!...wook at chou, Sharkeybarkey! That wittle puddle did wook wefweshing-n-all, but you got your wittle tootsietoes-n-wegs all wet (not to mention dirty!) MommieMartha's gonna hafta cwean you all up before you can get back in the car! Mrrrow, for cats' sake, we DO NOT wike getting our tootsietoes (or anysing else!) all wet. Ohhh, we're sooooo fastidious about ourselves that we get to work wight away to get ourselves dwy! Sometimes in life, tho', ya just gotta get dirty, pway, and have a wittle fun! BpppupMrrrow. =^..^=
Hello ladies, Kirby here.
Frenchies sink like a rock??? I didn't know that. I didn't know about swimming until one afternoon while we were visiting Fort Peck Reservoir in Montana. It was 102 in the shade while we were walked along the shore and that crystal clear water looked good. I don't like to get wet, not even a bath, so going into the water wasn't my cup of tea. I stepped into the water and found out that it was really cool. Out I went a little deeper. Mama said to watch out for the drop off. I didn't know what she was talking about until I lost the bottom. It took me only about a second to find out that I could swim. That water felt so good, mama had a hard time getting me to get out. Neat stuff; that water.
Catch you later, Kirby.
How nice to go on a scenic hike without leashes!
: ))) Thanks for taking us along with the beautiful photos.
On a hot day, must be nice to jump in the water and go for a swim too!
I loved seeing your adventure in pictures. What fun !!!
I saw you and your mistress, Martha, in Saint Louis, Mo. not long ago. That was lots of fun, too.
Love you and Martha too of course !!
Kirby Bear and Trish
I can swim. When mom heard that Frenchie's sink she freaked, we have an inground pool. She puts me in a few times a year and makes me swim to the steps. I must say I'm not fond of the water but just in case I would ever get knocked in by the Labs I live with she wanted to make sure I could get out. My stroke is not the perfect doggie paddle form but it works.
I enjoy laying in the warm sun on my nice lounge chair.
PS. F & S if you want a swimming lesson have your driver bring you down to South Jersey and I'll give you a few tips
Aw, Sharkey.... remember this...a little dirt won't hurt!
I'm in New Hampshire, maybe I will take a visit up to Maine and check out that nifty area.
Maybe life jackets are in order when around water. Would hate to see the both of you sink all the way down to the bottom of the lake. Yikes!
gail in NH!

The Peter Gruber Cosmology Prize 2004
The 2004 Cosmology Prize of The Peter Gruber Foundation is presented to Professor Alan Guth, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Andrei Linde, Stanford University, for their development of fundamental ideas of cosmic inflation, which has been one of the dominant themes of cosmology for more than two decades.
The original concept of inflation and its many variations, including chaotic inflation, proposed and developed by Guth and Linde, have led to a revolution in our approach to studying cosmology and to understanding the history of the universe.
Inflationary theory describes the very early stages of the evolution of the universe and its structure. A modification of cosmology's Big Bang theory, it holds that all matter in the universe was created during a period of inflation, as the universe expanded at an incredible rate: It doubled in size each 10 to the minus 37 seconds. (Imagine a pea growing to the size of the Milky Way in less time than the blink of an eye).
Models of inflationary cosmology had been considered by others in the 1970s, but in 1981 Alan Guth pulled the ideas together and pointed out the cosmological problems solved by inflation, publishing his work as The Inflationary Universe: A Possible Solution to the Horizon and Flatness Problems .
There were problems with specific details of Guth's model (acknowledged by him also), and later in 1981 at an international conference in Moscow, Russian cosmologist Andrei Linde presented an improved version, called "new inflation". Others added to the refinements, and Linde went on to propose additional versions of inflationary theory, including the chaotic inflationary universe scenario and the theory of eternal chaotic inflation. Inflationary concepts have influenced more of modern cosmology in the past two decades than anything since the hot big bang of the 1960s.
Alan Guth, 57, received his bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in physics from MIT and worked at Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and Stanford Universities before returning to MIT in 1980. Elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, he is the author of many technical publications and of the popular general audience book The Inflationary Universe: The Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins.
Born in Moscow in 1948, Andrei Linde received a B.S. from Moscow State University and a Ph.D. from Moscow's Lebedev Physical Institute. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty in 1990, Linde worked at the Lebedev Physical Institute and at CERN, Switzerland. He is also the author of many scholarly papers and has written two books on particle physics and inflationary cosmology.

Gresham >Food & Dining > Heidi's Of Gresham
1230 NE Cleveland Ave, Corner Of Cleveland & Burnside In Gresham, Gresham, OR | Directions 9703045.506129 -122.421037
M-Su 6:30am-9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Gresham - City Central
Better than expected – I expected this place to be like the typical denny's/perkins/sheri's but i was very surprised. I had a the Stuffed cabbage rolls and they were very good. My husband had the taco soup which was great too. They were very nice and helpful. I would go back!
very average restaurant – We don't live in the area and were interested in eating something German and decided on Heidi's after reading some very good reviews.
What a total disappointment! This is nothing more than a large restaurant serving very average fare with not much trace of anything Swiss or German apart from the name and the lady servers in costume.
I ordered a German sausage dinner and asked the server what the sausage was. He thought for a bit then said he doesn't know if it has any name or what the meat is. Then he proceeded to say, quote "They're brown and about this big," indicating something maybe an inch in diameter and 4 or 5 inches long.
When it came the only good thing was the hot potato salaad. The sausage was tasteless and fat, the suerkraut was more than sour. My wiffe's dish was equally uninspired.
By the way, the plaace looks great from the outside, has lots of empty tables insside and a good sized parking lot.
I would look for something else. They certainly won't see us in there again.
Cozy Place for Comfort Food – Heidi's is probably one of my favorite places to eat in Gresham! They have excellent comfort food, reasonable prices (including daily specials) and consistent food & service. They make absolutely the BEST vegetable beef soup! I also highly recommend the potroast dinner. Some might be taken back by the old world German-Swiss decor and not to mention the server's dirndls, but these quirks are what create Heidi's nostalgic charm and identity.
After dinner, don't forget to browse through the gift shop to admire the coo-coo clocks. Oh, and did I mention they have an excellent bakery?
Fantastic Breakfast – The first time we went to Heidi's was in March of 2006. We were in the Portland area and had read about this place. We went there 2 different times for breakfast and once for dinner. Our favorite was breakfast. We will be back in the area this July, and definately plan on going there for breakfast. Service is wonderful, everyone there is very polite and helpful.
Terrible and outdated place – The food was not very good. The service wasn't the worse, and they seemed too shy to be a waitress. The atmosphere is for the elderly.
One of the BEST Breakfasts in town! – Heidi's has the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Their fresh baked pastries are wonderful and the menu is huge. There is something for everyone! The prices are pretty good too.
