The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers to stop using dietary supplement products that claim to be antimicrobial (antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral) drugs. These products are falsely promoted to treat upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and colds, and they look like antimicrobial products sold in Mexico. More information, including product names, is provided in the FDA Press Release.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a press release to consumers warning them about a counterfeit product being represented as the dietary supplement "ExtenZe." The counterfeit product has hidden ingredients, including tadalafil or a combination of tadalafil and sildenafil, which are active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs, making these products unapproved drugs. Taking these products with prescription medications containing nitrates could lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. More information, including the lot numbers on the counterfeit packages, is provided in the FDA Press Release.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued warning letters to several companies selling unproven products claiming to treat, cure, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These products—such as Medavir, Herpaflor, Viruxo, C-Cure, and Never an Outbreak—violate federal law because the FDA has not evaluated them for safety and effectiveness. Some are marketed as dietary supplements, but the FDA considers them drugs since they are offered for the treatment of disease. More information is provided in the FDA Press Release.
Tainted dietary supplements most often occur among products typically marketed for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding. They can have deceptive labeling as well as undeclared, harmful ingredients. The question is: How can consumers protect themselves from these products?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently taken some steps to help consumers look out for potentially harmful dietary supplement products. Consumers and healthcare professionals can receive notifications from the FDA by subscribing to the RSS feed. The Commissioner of Food and Drugs also sent a letter to the dietary supplement industry reminding them of their responsibility to prevent the sale of tainted products in the United States. The FDA has also made it easier to report to the FDA about tainted products.
Some of these tainted dietary supplement products contain active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs or other compounds that are not classified as dietary ingredients. These products can have serious side effects, including death. The FDA has identified roughly 300 tainted products that are not legal dietary supplements and are warning consumers about the serious side effects of these products. Consumers should be cautious of:
- Product ads that claim to "melt your fat away," or claim that "diet and exercise [are] not required," or products that use the words "guaranteed," "scientific breakthrough," or "totally safe."
- Products that use numerous testimonials about "results seen" from using the product.
- Any product that is labeled or marketed in a foreign language. Consumers should not buy or consume these products.
- Products that are marketed as herbal alternatives to FDA-approved drugs.
- Products marketed and sold on the Internet.
There have been some recent voluntary recalls due to FDA investigations of dietary supplement products. Some of these have included weight-loss products that contained the prescription drug ingredient sibutramine. Sexual enhancement products have also been recalled for containing the undeclared drug ingredients sulfosildenafil and tadalafil. Other products marketed as supplements have been identified as containing various prescription drug ingredients.
It is important that consumers be aware that, under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, companies do not need FDA approval prior to marketing such products. Thus, generally speaking, the FDA does not approve dietary supplements.
Consumers need to be savvy when they make product purchases, and when in doubt, check with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine if you need a dietary supplement product and to help determine what could be a tainted product. If it looks too good to be true, chances are it is. For more information, read the "FDA's Beware of Fraudulent 'Dietary Supplements'."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has information for consumers regarding dietary supplements: Questions and answers, regulations, and safety alerts. Click here for their website.
The FDA warns against weight-loss products which don't live up to their claims and can potentially cause serious harm. Dozens of products have been found being marketed as dietary supplements which contain hidden prescription drugs or compounds that have not been adequately studied in humans.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found nearly 300 fraudulent products–promoted mainly for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding–that contain hidden or deceptively labeled ingredients.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed calorie labeling for chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments, as well as for vending machines. The move is a response in part to the obesity problem in the U.S. and is seen as a way for consumers to have consistent nutritional information when they make food choices. Read the FDA's "Questions and Answers on the New Menu and Vending Machines Nutrition Labeling Requirements" for more information
Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and other dyes are artificial colorings allowed in foods in the U.S., yet there is a long-standing debate over whether food dyes contribute to hyperactivity in children. The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Food Advisory Committee met the last week of March and determined that there is not enough evidence to support the link between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. For now, there will be no warning labels on food products containing dyes.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a vitamin solution, Soladek; samples that were tested contained dangerously high levels of vitamins A and D. The FDA has advised consumers currently using this product to stop immediately.

Fact of the Day: Common Octopus
As you probably already know, Paul the Oracle Octopus maintained his perfect record this weekend, predicting World Cup victories for both Germany and Spain in their respective matches. So, in honor of Paul's fine work, today's Fact of the Day (or FOD) is about his species, the common octopus.
The common octopus is one of the smartest invertebrates in the world, with both a short and long-term memory. When in a bind to escape a predator, this octopus can lose an arm and re-grow it later without any long-term damage. (But I'd bet it's not very comfortable and is something the octopus would rather forget!)
For more octo-information (or information on your favorite fishy friends), check out Oceana.org/explore and check back tomorrow for another FOTD!

Davis Drive \ Newmarket
Charming town where history and vitality mix.
Pedestrian-friendly boulevards; green, open spaces; a vibrant corridor that brings the community together to dine and relax, live, work and shop. Sounds like a dream? Pinch yourself and keep reading.
An exciting new viva rapidway along Davis Drive will change the way we experience our community. Upon completion, the rapidway will immediately make it easier for staff, patients, visitors and volunteers of the Southlake Regional Health Centre to get to the hospital. Over time, Davis Drive will become an attractive urban destination to work, dine, relax, live and shop.
This rapidway will move east along Davis Drive from Yonge Street to just past the hospital. About 2.6 km, to be exact. Then we'll keep it going another 2.3 km to Highway 404 – this stretch will run the same way viva service currently does, in the curbside lane.
Are we there yet? Almost… scheduled completion is 2015.

Seven seconds. That's all you've got.
The latest studies show that a client will decide if they're going to do business with you in seven seconds flat. When they look at your logo or glance at your website, their brain makes a million subconscious decisions on their behalf, and *boom* – they like you.
Or maybe they don't. Sometimes it's hard to tell, but if you take a good long look at your bottom line, it can be a great indicator. Even before people interact with your business, your brand – and your website – tells them that they're in the right place.

Mar 4, 2013A fantastic city simulation that meets all expectations. So perfectly balanced it makes it easy to pick up and enjoy, but proves to be very difficult to master. Funny, addictive and with great options for both co-operative and competitive online play - Sim City is a clear candidate for Game of the Year.
Mar 14, 2013Controversy and technical issues aside, SimCity is deep, full of details and very accessible. No matter if you like this kind of game or not, we think it deserves a try.
Mar 6, 2013If you have a good look at it, you can see as many reasons to like this new SimCity as to hate it. The required connection offers plenty of possibilities but it is a pain in the ass to lonely mayors. The HUD is elegant and subtle but hides some curious flaws. Finition seems perfect, but several bugs will come to spoil your gaming experience. Anyway, SimCity will make you play again and again, and that's quite a good point.
Mar 17, 2013There are some lovely aspects to the game, that have been developed from the earlier experiences that so many people knew and loved. There's a great soundtrack, and the game has a polished look about it that makes you want to love it. But underneath, there is so much that's broken, that I currently wouldn't recommend the game - as I experienced it - to anyone not willing to go through the pain for a glimpse of the game they once loved.
Mar 25, 2013You soon realize that control, like your city, isn't all its built up to be. So much has been smoothed out that it doesn't always feel like you're running the show.
Apr 1, 2013There's just something disturbing in seeing a game that is part of such a storied and influential franchise sacrifice so much to rush headlong into the social sphere. Perhaps the bugs and shortcomings will be resolved in a few weeks, but until then, SimCity's hidden requirement of additional patience still applies.
Mar 8, 2013If Electronic Arts is going to make a game with the basic premise being that no city is an island, if they're going to stress the interaction among cities, if they're going to make playing alongside other people a cornerstone of the design, if they're going to force my creations into tiny boxes that cannot exist past a certain point without the help of other tiny boxes, they're going to have to do the hard work of making it actually work. And ideally, that hard work should be done before they sell people the game, not after they've been caught flat-footed for botching it so completely.

Mixed: 94 out of 2076
Negative: 1,717 out of 2076
Oct 26, 2013It's a decent game, but it gets old after only a few cities. Origin is a pain in the behind and isn't even close to being on par with Steam. Unless you want to constantly drop $30 for expansion packs (Think Sims 3 style)... than I wouldn't bother getting this game. Sim City 4 will get you immensly more entertainment value for your hard earned … Expand
Mar 19, 2013Always on connection and server problems are bad but they'll be fixed. The worst thing about the game, and something that not many people have even acknowledged is the map size: it's stupidly small!! I had pretty much accomplished everything I wanted to within a few hours and filled every square inch of land. And no, it's called 'Simcity', not 'Simcities' so I don't want to have to make a whole lot of small crappy cities and have them 'interconnected'. They just had to make a slightly updated and better version of Simcity 4 and they would of made millions of people happy, and millions of dollars. Why reboot what's not broken??… Expand
May 8, 2013Its a good and fun game, but people will want it with singleplayer one, on my 16 years of gaming, this is the most crap game because of the forced online, SERIOSLY EA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WITH THIS? MAKING THE GAME'S SINGLEPLAYER A DLC?
Its a singleplayer game but forced online? Hell no.
Waste of money. the premium edition is even 80 bucks, this is the real waste of money.… Expand
Mar 5, 2013What a waste of $60! 1. Several times my game got disconnected from server. There were issues deleting (abandoning) my failed cities, and I would play for 3 10 minutes and it would crash to desktop (that happened 5 times).
2. My first three tries at building a city failed miserably. You are ALWAYS behind the curve on 'bad' things that need your attention... a monster came and destroyed my cash generating business (can't shut off disasters)... I ran out of water just when I was starting to get going... pollution and not enough money to remedy. 3. I switched to sandbox mode and still got tons of people complaining at my city center that 'pollution or sewage was too high and they are supposed to be toggled off?
4.I feel like a fool for pre-ordering such a lousy game I liked the other Simcities this one need lots of work yet!… Expand
Mar 9, 2013I bought this game with high expectations, I don't have the fastest internet but have never had problems with other single player games i.e. Far Cry 3, Fallout 3. 2 hours into my first map, I lose connection and my progress. Thanks EA for f**king over your customers again.… Expand

When we went back and told them we weren't happy with the room they were friendly enough to place us in a 4 bed dorm. Toilet wasn't clean but apart from that it was ok.

Purchased the Fridge in November of 2013 and the problems began. The freezer is defrosting on it's own, all my food is melting. 4 Technicians came, one changed the parts and three do no know how to fix it. They keep calling for technical support. Sears Customer Service is not great. I would never buy anything from Sears again. Taking time off from work to constantly have technicians come to my house and not fix anything and wasting money on food that I have to throw away everyday. Sears doesn't seem to care. They need to replace my fridge and refund my money from all the trouble and food I wasted.

I did a ton of research before buying this. I looked at every fridge in this class and above. By far this is the best fridge out there. It is huge and has a ton of door space which is lacking in other models. I have yet to fill it up even with all the trimmings for a dinner for 14 people plus our weekly groceries. The best purchase I made and the Sears rep was outstanding in helping create a suite purchase and saving big when he told me to wait for the sale.

I've had this refrigerator for a year and it's a piece of junk. It's so noisy that I've had friends over for dinner with music in the background still ask me "what's that noise" to which I answered... In my thousands of dollars Sears Kenmore Elite refrigerator! Walk away from this one and try a competitor you will regret spending your hard earned money on something that rattles all day long!

Unless you like Sears maintenance van parked in front of your home don't purchase this model. We bought this larger unit because of the larger size and looks and it has been nothing but problems. Freezer doesn't keep cold, ice maker clumps together because of freezing problems. Also makes annoying noises because ice forms on fan. not happy at all!
Nashville, TN
via sears.com
Our concern was the lots of food storage this is why we went for this one, a very nice upgrade with the ice storage bin on the bottom for extra is great. We have lots of larger parties, and have no issues of running out of space. We also love that the freezer came with a flip out shelf located on the freezer door. We have had one problem the defrost witch was fixed in a few days, this was cover by the extended warranty we got to have a peace of mind. We are very glade we decided on buying this model.

I love this fridge. The only thing I've seen as a problem is that I don't use the ice dispenser enough and the ice seems to melt together too quickly so I have to pull the tray and empty or break it up. I need to check the book to see if there is a different setting I should use.

We went to look are refrigerators to evaluate looks and features to aid further research and ended up buying that evening. Everything that was in the old refrigerator is in this one and we have room to see what we have. The temp holds right where it is set for both compartments. The controls are easy to use door alarm tells keeps us from standing with the door open. I expect this refrigerator will last as long as our garage fridge and our freezer have.

Lots of room. Only complaint is the constant fingerprints.

RaceTrac Petroleum hopes it's a popular pit stop for gasoline
and snacks in the Southeast. The company operates more than
630 gas stations and convenience stores in five southeastern states
under the RaceTrac and RaceWay names. (RaceWay stores are operated
by independent contractors.) The chain plans to grow by expanding
its store count by about 10% a year. Carl Bolch founded
RaceTrac in Missouri in 1934. His son, chairman Carl Bolch Jr.,
moved the company into high-volume gas stations with long,
self-service islands that can serve as many as two dozen vehicles
at one time. RaceTrac's convenience stores sell fresh deli food and
offer some fast-food fare. The Bolch family owns and runs the

Atlanta-based RaceTrac Petroleum operates stores in Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
Financial Performance
One of the largest private companies in the US, Racetrac
Petroleum's stores rang up more than $9 billion in sales in
RaceTrac prefers to build its own stores from the ground up
rather than grow through acquisitions. Indeed, in the past 15 years
the company has only bought one store. Recently,
RaceTrac has been increasing the number of
independently-operated RaceWay stores in its portfolio. (While the
RaceWay stores are operated by independent contractors, RaceTrac
stills owns and controls the gasoline business and real estate.) It
has also consolidated its company-operated stores into four key
markets: Atlanta, Dallas, Florida, and Louisiana.
RaceTrac Petroleum got a new leader, Allison Moran, in 2013.
Moran, who led the RaceTrac company-operated stores division before
her promotion to CEO, succeeded Carl Bloch Jr. (who retained the
chairman's title). Moran is Bloch's eldest daughter.

Another reason why dropping your hands and sticking your chin out in MMA is a really dumb idea
Sorry average anatomical humanoid being, not everyone is born with an inherent force-field built into their chin. We all don't hail from the same planet as Nick Diaz, Dan Henderson and Rampage Jackson. If genetic code operated on the same mechanics as a role-playing game, their DNA dumped all of its skill points into the construction of their chin. It's impossible to max out that level anymore. They've hit the apex, now they can spend the rest of their life using their chin as earth's primary defense against asteroids.
Earlier this month at On Top 5 in Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, Scotland, Jessin Ayari was under the impression that the material his chin was constructed of was made entirely out of adamantium. Leave it to undefeated welterweight, Alan Johnston, to ruin that illusion. Jeez, what a party pooper. Props to Ben Cartlidge for the find.

Take it as a lesson learned
And we all fall down
[Verse 1]
As we get to the end of another one
At the start of another one
It's been a year filled with more tears than any other
Much more reason to cheer than any other
So the rich liquor replace the beer we was guzzling
Had to let weed go, 'bout to let beef go
Ain't no beef with those whack MCs yo
I should be pleased with the level that I've achieved
But finding comfort under a rock's not my steezo
I reach for the stars, peaking on Mars
Cause the bars I spit gets me any place I need so
You can best believe I'm after much more respect than cheese so
Expect to see a brighter smile on the cover of my next CD
In the midst of more bliss than three chicks on ecstasy
All trying to have sex with B
Just because I'm such a fresh MC
Yeah right
[Hook 1]
Watch out for the snakes in grass
It make look green but the backs is black
If cash is the root of all evil
You can tell Satan I'm awaking my people
Don't be last (x3)
[Hook 2]
Time is of the essence
Take it as a lesson learned
It's like we lose our turn, bridges get burned
And we all fall down
Trying to climb a mountain
Better watch them steps you take
Because when the stakes get high, look to the sky
It's a long way down
[Verse 2]
I gotta make it, if not, gotta take it
Don't blame me, I was born during the reign of Ronald Reagan
Now the nation is craving crap like McDonald's
I'm saying ain't your moms ever make a proper plate home?
Carve your hunger and be patient homes
I make poems, break bones, no stones
Stopped smoking but I'm still rolling
Sunny, shouts out to Gunny on that blue eyed tip
Took a red-eye trip to Hotlanta
Stopped at JR Crickets for hot wings
Now returning making the block sing
Chicka chicka ching hit me with the (?)
To see grands, pull the MC ham sandwich
Out of that He-man lunchbox, ate him in one munch
Swallowed him whole without biting because I don't do nobody but Blu
Because nobody can touch Blu
Crush fucks up to the challenge
Somehow I managed to be granted the planet
Still standing on my own two feet when there is so much talent
Buried six feet deep beneath us
But we just rather be invalid
Jesus, where did the soul go?
Out the backdoor with the afro picks and the black fist
Now remember this
[Hook 2]
[Verse 3]
We all fall victim to sin through temptation
And it's so hard to turn down money when you make it
Especially when it's raising
Bitches start waving it and the whips start changing
And the chips start blinging
Funny how money keeps a smile on faces
Of everyone surrounding all the fame that you bring in
But you can't get it out your head
You was almost dead less than a year ago and no one cared
Like yeah, I remember not remembering none of y'all
Froze last December right here, in front of y'all
(?), blood pumping into that cold heart
Gold plated ego taking the soul apart
Diamond studded but didn't shine bright as the rhyming
Fuck it, this is why I'm here grinding
Cause the time will come when the shining will blind them
And the haters will arise high as those who like him
[Hook 1]

FORTUNE -- The term "open source" was first coined in response to Netscape's January 1998 announcement that the company would make freely available the source code for its web browser, Navigator. Since then, the philosophies of universal access and free redistribution of source code have revolutionized the software industry.
While we have seen how open source communities can foster creativity and collaboration in software (think of the Android app store), open source has not ventured too far beyond this space. This is partly because software is inherently modular, instantly accessible from anywhere, and easily altered.
Yet open source ideas have tremendous potential beyond software. All you need to create a successful open source community are participants who both contribute to, as well as benefit from, shared content. Such networks of transparency, collaboration, and trust can be tremendously beneficial in other industries as well, from pharmaceuticals to manufactured goods.
MORE: Home Depot knows when to call it quits
We have already begun to see promising results from applying open source philosophies to hardware development and manufacturing. Consumers have taken the lead in the open source hardware movement, embodied by the popular "Maker Movement." This subculture of hobbyists and Do it Yourself (DIY)-enthusiasts has driven the rise of collaborative, community "hacker spaces" as well as the hugely popular Maker Faires in cities across the country. The business community has not ignored these makers; venture capitalists are certainly paying attention to the developments. More

About Us
Graham's was founded in 1820 and now has accumulated unmatched experience as a producer of premium Ports. The company has been owned by just two families in its entire history; originally founded by the Graham's, it was acquired by the Symington family in 1970.
The Symingtons can trace their ancestors as Port producers back four generations to Andrew James Symington who came to Oporto in 1882, but back thirteen generations through their great grandmother, Beatrice Atkinson, to Walter Maynard who shipped 39 pipes of Port in 1652. A unique record in the history of Port.
Today five members of the Symington family work in the company, Paul, Johnny, Dominic, Rupert and Charles. The family personally manages all aspects of winemaking from the vineyard to the final bottling of the wine.

At GreaterGood, we do our best to raise awareness of good causes and to connect people every day with simple ways to make the world a better place. It is our charitable partners who do the heavy lifting — the ones who use the funds that your daily clicks and your shopping raise to accomplish the mission.
Funding for all chartable projects and partners is distributed by GreaterGood.org. Since GreaterGood began in 1999, we have given nearly $30 million to charities operating here and around the world.
Grants funded by The Hunger Site are paid by GreaterGood.org to charities and non-profit organizations implementing programs to alleviate hunger, poverty, and its root causes. Clicking and shopping on The Hunger Site helps fund grants for the following charitable partners, among others:.
Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) stocks food banks nationwide. Their services provide food to more than 37 million Americans each year, making them the nation's largest hunger relief organization.
Throughout the world, Mercy Corps programs provide immediate food aid as well as long-term solutions to break the cycle of poverty and famine. Throughout some of the poorest nations in the world, their programs provide communities with the tools and support they want to transform their own lives. In times of disaster, whether caused by nature or man, Mercy Corps teams are there with emergency assistance as well as addressing the root causes of these problems.
Founded in 2005 to support the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, Millennium Promise works with impoverished communities, national and local governments, and partner organizations to implement high-impact programs aimed at halving extreme poverty in Africa by 2015. Their flagship initiative, the Millennium Villages, now operate in multiple countries in sub-Saharan Africa. By combining the best scientific and local knowledge, Millennium Villages already are producing remarkable results in creating greater food security and opportunity for future economic growth. Millennium Promise also plays a leading role in mobilizing the private sector to find solutions to key problems that contribute to extreme poverty in Africa.
At The Hunger Site, our partners recognize that the goal of ending poverty and hunger in our generation may seem ambitious, but it is within our reach if we take action together.
The numbers are staggering - according to The World Health Organization , roughly two-thirds of child deaths are "preventable through practical, low-cost interventions." Those simple, affordable remedies include vaccinations, bednets to prevent mosquitoes from spreading deadly malaria, nutritious food, clean and disease-free drinking water, and treatments such as micronutrients (essential vitamins & minerals), oral rehydration therapy, and antibiotics.
Around the world, PIH mobile clinics, hospitals, and health workers strive to ensure that each and every child in the community receives adequate health care, education, and freedom from economic exploitation and other abuses. When a child falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at their disposal. They have led the way in private and public partnerships to fight cholera and other preventable diseases as well as providing long-term community-based healthcare solutions where they work.

The following article proves everything we at RSCI have been saying about cardio stem cells for the past four years
EIGHT years after doctors told her she had multiple sclerosis, Kay Jarrett is going to the gym regularly, taking walks and doing things that had been impossible for a couple of decades.
A revolutionary procedure involving a patient's own stem cells has allowed British researchers to grow artificial body parts in their lab, including noses, ears, tear ducts, and blood vessels, which they can then reattach to the patient's body.
MONDAY, April 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- In an early test, researchers report they've safely injected stem cells into the brains of 18 patients who had suffered strokes. And two of the patients showed significant improvement.
When it comes to understanding bipolar disorder, many questions remain unanswered – such as what truly causes the condition and why finding proper treatments is so difficult. But now, researchers have taken a huge step towards solving some of the disorder's complex mysteries.
Researchers have created an adult stem cell based method for restoring strength to damaged skeletal muscles in the elderly.

I have the camera, one battery, the original box, and most if not all of the original accessories. I'll throw in a bunch of 8GB CF cards.
I could probably send it to Nikon for testing and cleaning and sell it for $500 or so on eBay, but I'd never be totally confident that it was reliable and would rather it goes to someone who will use it to fill an appropriate non-critical niche.
$200 shipped to anywhere in the United States (sorry, not worth the trouble of dealing with customs and duties for an item like this). Or make me an offer of a good home for an old friend.

Eric Katenda was 15 years old when he came to America. He made that decision four years ago, leaving his mother and his sister back in his native Paris, with a singular goal in mind: to earn a Division I scholarship and -- eventually -- become a professional basketball player.
To his credit, Katenda found himself on that exact path. He wasn't being courted by the likes of John Calipari and Roy Williams, but Katenda managed to create enough of a name for himself that he developed into a borderline top-100 recruit. He had offers from a number of high-major programs and a profile on every major recruiting website. In April 2011, Katenda accepted a scholarship from Notre Dame, where he had been recruited as a perimeter-oriented power forward with range on his jumper, to follow in the footsteps of Carleton Scott. Katenda's decision looked even better when, two weeks later, Scott surprisingly decided to enter the 2011 NBA Draft with a year of eligibility remaining.
Those plans were put on hold that summer when Katenda got caught up in the red tape of the NCAA Clearinghouse. Instead of spending his summer in South Bend, Katenda was forced to sweat it out in sweltering Washington D.C., taking a class at a Community College while trying to keep in good enough shape that he would be able to keep pace with his teammates -- and his classmates -- when he enrolled in August.
That's why, on July 8, Katenda wasn't shooting around under the bright lights of the Joyce Center. He was out in the sun, roasting on the blacktop of the courts right behind Banneker High. It was there -- sandwiched between Georgia Avenue and Ninth Street, a stone's throw from Howard University's campus -- that Katenda would suffer the injury that has wreaked havoc on his career as a Notre Dame basketball player.
Much has been written about the freak injury that resulted in a severed optic nerve in Katenda's left eye, but there has been one common misconception in the reporting: that he was playing a pickup game at the time.
"I wasn't even playing. I was just shooting around," Katenda said in a phone interview. "A couple guys came over asking if they could use my ball and two of the guys decide to play one-on-one. I was just standing under the rim, watching them play. One guy jumps from behind him, trying to block him, and missed the ball and his hand went into my eye and hit my eye real hard. I went down for a few minutes. That's when I realized I couldn't see out of the eye."
Katenda didn't leave the park immediately after getting hit. Everyone that has played basketball has gotten poked in the eye at some point, and usually -- after a couple minutes -- the pain subsides and your vision clears up. So Katenda waited. And waited. And after about 10 minutes, he realized something may be seriously wrong. "I was like, 'I still don't see anything.' It was starting to get scary." So Katenda walked back to his guardian's house -- his family is still back in France -- where they called 911 and eventually got the grim news: his vision wasn't coming back.
"My guardian was there crying for me and I was just sitting there thinking, 'Am I going to be able to play again,'" he said. "'Am I going to be able to do the things I used to do? How am I going to look? How's my family going to take it?'"
Marquette fifth-year senior center Chris Otule has had to overcome plenty of adversity in his career. As a freshman, Otule saw his season trimmed to nine games after he broke his left foot in practice. As a sophomore, Otule made it through three games before he broke his right foot in practice. He lasted all the way through his junior campaign unscathed, but as a senior, Otule suffered a season-ending ACL injury just eight games into the year.
Simply put, Otule has spent enough time on the bench as a result of injuries that he's not only earned a fifth year of eligibility for the 2012-2013 season, but there's also a chance he may be allowed a sixth in 2013-2014.
It takes a certain kind of toughness -- both mental and physical -- to overcome that many devastating injuries. The rehab is grueling, the strenuous workouts it takes to get back into shape certainly are not fun, and the disappointment and difficulty in sitting on the bench while watching teammates compete is something that never becomes easy to deal with. But Otule was bred to be a fighter. He may never have experienced what it is like to lose an eye, but that's because he has never experienced what life is like with two eyes.
"I was born with one actual eye," Otule said. "The other one was, I guess you could call it glaucoma. I went into surgery as soon as I was born, I don't know what they did to my eye, but I went into surgery and for the first couple of years of my life I was living with only one eye and the other one just looked pink. At the age of 3 or 4 I was old enough to get a glass eye. Every couple of years I would outgrow it and have to get a new one, and the last time I had to was like two years ago."
The fact that he was born with a single eye makes Otule's situation inherently different from Katenda's. He's spent his entire 22 years with just his right eye while the way that Katenda perceives the world around him has drastically changed over the last 14 months.
What Otule has done, however, is prove that only being capable of seeing out of one eye is far from a barrier to competing in the Big East.
Eye issues aren't a barrier to playing professional basketball, either. Former Duke guard Jon Scheyer suffered a lacerated eyelid, torn retina and damaged optic nerve in his right eye while playing with the Miami Heat in the 2010 NBA Summer League. He still has some vision in right eye, but as he told the Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer in June, "I wouldn't pass a vision test." Despite the vision problems, Scheyer has still made NBA Summer League teams, tried out with NBA teams and played for Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Gran Canaria and in the D-League. He'll have a long and prosperous (and profitable) career overseas, which may have been a best-case scenario for him as a professional even with two good eyes.
And therein lies the intrigue of eye injuries. With a torn ACL, surgery is required on a knee that could sap the leg of strength and explosiveness. Sprained ankles hurt to walk on, let alone run on. Bad shoulders make shooting and passing painful. But with eye problems, the body is fine. You still can run just as fast and jump just as high and keep the same form on your jump shot.
So how much does it really change you as a player?

By Ron Gosnell
Editor's note: Ron Gosnell is a retired forester who lives in the Lyons area and who has helped owners manage their forests for over forty years.
With summer coming, many forest landowners will soon be hard at work to make their homes, property, and family safer from wildfire. This usually involves cutting down excess trees and brush. Often the lower quality trees are selected for removal in a "fuel reduction" process. The result is that in many cases, the crooked logs of cut trees look to be worthless. Landowners or contractors end up cutting them into random-length pieces for easier handling, to be manually loaded and then dropped off at a place that accepts this material.
This may be the easiest thing to do depending upon circumstance. However, when there are enough trees of reasonable quality to be thinned, that presents an opportunity to cut wood products. To do so is not that difficult. Wood posts, rails, poles and saw logs must be fairly straight, branchless with flush cuts, and have straight-end cuts to specific

When President Obama unveiled his military budget earlier this year, it was clear that he was essentially putting a new defense strategy on the table. The Pentagon's plan called for the ranks of the active-duty Army to be reduced from 570,000 to 490,000 troops over five years. The Marine Corps, meanwhile, was supposed to shrink from 202,000 to 182,000. At the same time, drones were a high priority in the budget—not surprising, given that Obama has ordered about five times as many drone attacks as his predecessor. According to Robert Haddick, writing at Foreign Policy, "the Pentagon intends to keep its ability to maintain continuous drone surveillance over 65 spots on the globe, with the capability to surge that to 85 if necessary."

Encopresis is a problem that children age four or older can develop due to chronic (long-term) constipation. With constipation, children have fewer bowel movements than normal, and the bowel movements they do have can be hard, dry, and difficult to pass. The child may avoid using the bathroom to avoid discomfort. Stool can become impacted (packed into the rectum and large intestine) and unable to move forward. The rectum and intestine become enlarged due to the hard, impacted stool. Eventually, the rectum and intestine have problems sensing the presence of stool, and the anal sphincter (the muscle at the end of the digestive tract that helps hold stool in) loses its strength. Liquid stool can start to leak around the hard, dry, impacted stool, soiling a child's clothing.
Any child with chronic constipation may develop encopresis. Some of the situations that lead to constipation include the following:
For unknown reasons, boys develop encopresis six times more than girls. Family stress can be linked to constipation, there does not seem to be any association between developing encopresis and how many children are in a family, a child's birth order (for example, first, middle, or last), a child's age, or the family's income.
Encopresis can cause both physical and emotional problems.
Impacted (backed up) stool in the intestine can cause abdominal pain, as well as loss of appetite. Some children may develop bladder infections.
Other health problems may cause chronic constipation, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hirschsprung's Disease, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Children with encopresis can certainly feel emotionally upset by the "accidents" they have when they soil their clothes. They usually do not have control of this leakage of stool. Their self-esteem and interactions with other people can be affected. Children are often ashamed or embarrassed. They may avoid going to school, playing with friends, or spending the night away from home. Parents may feel guilt, shame, anger, or distaste by the problem.
The following are the most common symptoms of encopresis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms of encopresis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Please consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
A doctor or other health care provider will examine your child, and obtain a medical history. Imaging tests may also be done to evaluate the intestine and rule out other health problems. These tests may include:
Specific treatment for encopresis will be determined by your child's doctor based on the following:
Treatment for encopresis may include:
An enema may be prescribed by your child's doctor to help remove the impacted stool. An enema is a liquid that is placed in your child's rectum and helps loosen the hard, dry stool. (DO NOT give your child an enema without the approval of a doctor or other health care provider.)
Your child's doctor will often prescribe medications to help keep your child's bowel movements soft for several months. This will help prevent stool impaction from occurring again. Please do not give your child stool softeners without the approval of a doctor.
Often, making changes in your child's diet will help constipation. Consider the following suggestions:

Maybe an assistant trainer or one of the guys in the equipment room who will throw you some gear to give to your little brother at the next home game.
However, there are those rare cases in the NFL where a player builds an extraordinary relationship with his position coaches, a working relationship on the field and in the classroom when a veteran buys into everything his coach is selling.
This should be the case with Jeremy Bates joining the Bears to coach quarterbacks. Sure, he will add to the passing game and aid offensive coordinator Mike Tice in setting game plans.
That's great for the playbook.
But the way I view this as a former player, Jay Cutler just got "his guy" back, his position coach when he was successful with the Broncos.
Understand the situation here. Players spend the majority of their time with the position coach. They are vital to their development and production on the field.
Forget the head coach or the coordinators. Their job isn't to watch tape with players on a daily basis or correct each and every technique error from last Sunday's game. That's on the position coaches.
They are crucial not only to a team's success, but to the confidence and overall ability of the players they work with all offseason in organized team activities, through minicamp and into training camp.
I played my best football during my career with the Redskins and it wasn't because of Steve Spurrier or Joe Gibbs. In fact, I hardly talked to my two head coaches outside the occasional uncomfortable conversation in the hallway as I realized we had absolutely nothing in common.
It was a different story with my position coach, Steve Jackson. I could rely on him to treat me like a pro, correct me when I made mistakes and challenge me — consistently — to improve my craft.
Yes, there were days when we didn't see eye to eye on situations that occurred on the field or when we sat down to watch the game tape on Mondays. But the shared goal was the same — make me better as a player.
I respected that.
That is exactly what Cutler is getting with Bates joining the Bears coaching staff. He's someone who understands Cutler's talents and flaws. That's worth more than X's and O's or the route tree.
Finding an ally isn't easy in the NFL. But when you have one in a position coach and expect to be challenged every day you go to work, football is the best game in the world.
And it shows in your play.

The southernmost of the Sierra Nevada national parks, preserving ancient forests of giant sequoia trees, are Sequoia and Kings Canyon. As you might expect, Sequoia National Park contains the thickest concentration – and the biggest specimens – of sequoias to be found anywhere, tending (literally) to overshadow its assortment of meadows, peaks, canyons and caves. Kings Canyon National Park has few big trees but compensates with a gaping canyon gored out of the rock by the Kings River as it cascades down from the High Sierra.
Sequoia National Park
The scenery is quite varied in SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK – paths lead through copious forests and meadows, while longer treks rise above the tree line to the barren peaks of the High Sierra. Soon after entering the park from the south, Hwy-198 becomes the Generals Highway and climbs swiftly into the dense woods of the aptly labelled Giant Forest, where displays in the modern Giant Forest Museum (summer 8am–6pm, rest of year 9am–4.30pm; free) explain the life cycle and ecosystem of the sequoias and the means of protecting the remaining groves. From here you can explore along Crescent Meadow Road where a loop road leads to the formidable granite monolith of Moro Rock (a three-mile marked trail leads from Giant Forest), which streaks upward from the green hillside. A steep 15-minute hike to the flat summit can reveal 150-mile views on a clear day.
Continuing east, a perimeter trail around the sequoia-rimmed Crescent Meadow leads to Tharp's Log, a cabin hollowed out of a fallen sequoia by Hale Tharp who was led here by Native Americans in 1856. Just north of Giant Forest, back on the Generals Highway, is the biggest sequoia of them all, the 2200-year-old, 275ft General Sherman Tree, whose extraordinary dimensions are hard to grasp alongside the almost equally monstrous sequoias all around.
Whatever your plans, you should stop at Lodgepole Village, three miles north of the Sherman Tree, for the geological displays and film shows at the visitor centre (June to Aug daily 7am–6pm; May & Sept daily 7am–5pm; t 559/565-4436), which also has information on touring Crystal Cave, the park's single cave (3 miles long), among hundreds of unmarked ones, that's open to the public. You can also explore a glacial canyon on the Tokopah Valley Trail (2hr), which leads to the base of Tokopah Falls, beneath the 1600ft Watchtower cliff. The top of the Watchtower is accessible by the fatiguing but straightforward six-mile Lakes Trail.
Kings Canyon National Park
Kings Canyon National Park is wilder and less visited than Sequoia, with a maze-like collection of canyons and a few isolated lakes. To reach the canyon proper, you have to pass through the hamlet of Grant Grove, where there's a useful visitor centre (daily: June–Aug 8am–6pm; rest of year 9am–4.30pm; t 559/565-4307) and the 2.5-mile Big Stump Trail shows off the remains of the logging that took place in the 1880s – to be shipped cross-country to convince cynical East Coasters that such enormous trees really existed. A mile west of Grant Grove, a large stand of sequoias contains the General Grant and Robert E. Lee trees, which rival the General Sherman in size.
Kings Canyon Highway (Hwy-180; May–Oct only) descends from Grant Grove into the steep-sided Kings Canyon, cut by the furious forks of the Kings River. Its wall sections of granite and gleaming blue marble, and the yellow pockmarks of blooming yucca plants (late spring, in particular) are magnificent. A word of warning: don't be tempted by the clear waters of the river; people have been swept away even when paddling close to the bank in a seemingly placid section.
Once into the national park proper, the canyon sheds its V-shape and gains a floor. Cedar Grove Village here is named for its proliferation of incense cedars. There's a ranger station across the river (mid-June to Aug daily 9am–5pm; May & Sept hours reduced), and the scenery is rich with wildflowers – leopard lilies, shooting stars, violets, lupins and others – and birdlife, too. Wander around the green Zumwalt Meadow, four miles from Cedar Grove Village, which spreads beneath the forbidding grey walls of Grand Sentinel and North Dome.
Just a mile further on, Kings Canyon Road comes to an end at Copper Creek. Beyond, the multitude of canyons and peaks that constitute the Kings River Sierra are networked by hiking paths, almost all best enjoyed armed with a tent, provisions and a wilderness permit from the trailhead ranger station.
