David Migoya joined The Denver Post in 1999, his second time around (the first was 1983). Since then, he's reported on a variety of topics – from human services to consumer affairs – typically with an investigative bent. Currently he handles investigations for the business news department and also writes about personal finance. He's worked at daily newspapers and magazines in Detroit, St. Louis and New York City over the course of his more than 30 years in journalism and has received some of the profession's top accolades. Personally, David has a passion for traditional music – he's a world-class player of the Irish flute – and enjoys playing ice hockey. As a Bronx native, he's a die-hard Yankees fan, but roots heartily for the Avalanche, Broncos and Rockies (unless the Yanks are in town).

An air purifier is a must-have appliance for individuals who live in cities with smoggy air, have children or pets, smoke indoors, work in buildings that have contaminated air, or suffer from asthma and allergies. In this day and age, it is very difficult to find areas that don't have smoggy air during at least a portion of the year. An air purifier can help you and your family breathe easier, while reducing many of the harmful airborne pollutants that can make their way into your home.
An air purifier is designed to purify the air by removing air-borne contaminants so that they aren't breathed in by you and your family or employees. An air purifier can be used for strictly residential purposes or for commercial purposes. Large commercial-grade air purifiers are often found in the industrial, medical, and commercial industries. They are also commonly used by industries that deal with large amounts of air impurities as a way to protect employees from the negative effects of breathing contaminated air.
An air purifier is especially helpful at removing pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and dust from the air, which can help reduce the symptoms of individuals who suffer from asthma and/or allergies. People who smoke in their homes can also benefit from the air freshening and cleaning effects of a quality air purifier.
One of the many benefits of an air purifier include the removal of a wide variety of air-borne contaminants that can be found in homes and buildings, especially those that are located in big cities that have heavily-polluted air. An air purifier can also remove some of the odor from indoor smoking or pet smells. Some air purifiers are also able to remove a large number of air-borne viruses and bacteria that could cause mild to severe sickness if they were breathed in by the individuals in your household or commercial building. If you are worried about chemical pollution and gas in your hospital or commercial building, a high-quality commercial air purifier can help reduce harmful air-borne particles from these substances.
Whether you are looking for a large commercial-grade air purifier with the capability of reducing dangerous chemicals from the air or a small air purifier that can remove minor contaminants from your home, we have an impressive inventory that you can choose from. After looking through our large selection of air purifying units, you are sure to find one that is the ideal fit for your needs.

Z-�1I The College Njews VOL. XXIX, No. 5 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1942 J&P&&* "SSSSP ,00i, PRICE 10 CENTS MISS McBRIDE INAUGURATED AS PRESIDENT Speakers Stress Place of College In World at War President McBride Lauded By Miss Comstock and Dr. Aydelotte The responsibility of colleges in war time to enter into the war effort and yet maintain aca- demic ideals and standards was stressed by the speakers at the inauguration of President Mc- Bride. Miss McBride discussed the plan of education at Bryn Mawr, stressing its value for the needs of the present time. Miss Com- stock spoke about her experi- ences and relations with Miss Mc- Bride when the latter was Dean of Rad'cliffe. The place of the college in relation to the affairs of the rest of the world was dis- cussed by Dr. Aydelotte. Miss McBride Miss McBride discussed the aims of Bryn Mawr during the war. Colleges in the last ten months have been, like industry, geared to meet the needs of the time. This change is necessary, but Miss Mc- Bride emphasized the fact that is is equally necessary to train stu- dents for the more complex task of envisioning and denning our purposes in the disorganization of the post-war world. "Such work is a part of our educational of- fensive, and perhaps the most dif- ficult part." The understanding needed for this cannot be built up through any six or twelve-weeks' course. Miss McBride asked the question: "Can we strike the nice balance which will give us this training without reducing too much our immediate effort? The only point of such a question is to put the problem. It has one answer, that we must." Bryn Mawr has always been ac- tive in the selection of its students, Continued on Page Two Maids Begin Classes Taught by Students The Maids' and Porters' Classes, organized and taught by the Bryn Mawr undergraduates, will begin next week. A varied group of courses will be offered in after- noon and evening classes, which will meet two or three times a week. Besides several new courses, the Maids' and Porters' Commit- tee offers this year Achievement Tests at the end of each course, the nearest thing to real credit that the voluntary student teach- ers can give. A new idea, the Achievement Tests attempt to maintain a gen- eral high school standard in Eng- lish, French, and Spanish. Other courses cover a variety of fields: Current Events and Speech Training, Negro History, German, Typing, Shorthand, Sew- ing, Piano Lessons, Music Appre- ciation, Folk Dancing, and Sculp- ture. It has been necessary to drop a few courses such as- Hy- giene, which overlaps with the ma- terial offered in the Defense Courses. Skills such as mimeo- graphing, knitting, and the use of the addressograph are to be taught. In addition, there will be private tutoring in the basic principles of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Niles Rumely, who is in charge Continued on Pace Four Inaugural Ceremony is Performed by Charles Rhoads After Speeches by Miss Comstock and Dr. Aydelotte PRESIDENT McBRIDE Miss Skinner to Give Costumes to College Cornelia Otis Skinner and Ro- land Young will be the guests of honor in the Theatre Workshop Saturday, October 31, when Miss Sk!nner will present costumes from the collection of Otis Skinner. Miss Skinner and Mr. Young will speak on the plays, actors and an- ecdotes with which these costumes were associated. Some of them were used by Howard Pyle for his paintings of Robin Hood and King Arthur. One was worn by Mojeski, and another by Laura Hope Crews. Several pieces from the ,collec- tion have already been donated by Miss Skinner to Harvard Univer- sity, but the best costumes and accessories are being presented to Bryn Mawr College and the Bald- win School. Miss Skinner's latest book, "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay," was written in collaboration with Emily Kinburigh, and is now running in the Cosmopolitan. It has been chosen as the Book of the Month for December. Lantern Night During the Lantern Night ceremony, members of the audience are to use the main door, and not the two side doors, which will be locked. This does not apply to Fresh- men and Sophomores. Faithful Alumnae, Patriotic As Ever, Return Over Mid Week to Confuse Undergraduates By Anne Djnny, '43 Relieving-pressure on railroads, faithful alumnae changed their re- union to the mid-week, October 28 and 20, and included the induc- t'on ceremonies in their program. Prominent among the returning hrong was 1925, Miss McBride's class. The usual amazement at the new plumbing and the free life of "this generation of stu- dents," was pushed into the back- ground by the excitement over the .�oremonies. The alumnae have developed a motherly attitude toward the pres- ent undergraduates, as though this new college were an offspring of an older, sterner variety. "Spoon fed, that's what you are," said a member of the class of 'US, "taking oials freshman year�no college boards!" Others merely confused the present students by bursting into their rooms and claiming, "This is my room. We had the desk over there where the light comes in and we didn't hang our laundry in the study." Evidently pot all the alumnae felt that we wcie disintegrating. One kindly ledy of Bryn Mawr's youth con- fided that she found "a spirit of starry-eyed earnestness" that was missing for many years. The class of '42 was much in demand among the Seniors. "Is it true that you can't get laundry done in Washington, and that it takes three-quarters of an hour to go one block on a trolley?" was find at them from all sides. Jerry Cation, '42, advised the Seniors to prepare themselves to be greeted as returning alumnae by nothing but "Hello, what are you doing?" Despite incessant questioning, the alumnae were glad to come back and marvel over the renewed singing spirit, or shake their heads at sophisticated freshmen. All were anxious to meet the new ad- ministration, and all fell on former classmates to talk over old times. Noted Scholars, Students Attend Many College Heads March in Procession Ooodhart, October � �� � Miss Katharine .Elizabeth McBride was naugurated as fourth President of Bryn MawcA'ollege by Mr. Charles J. Rhoads today at :! P. M. The speakers were Miss Ada Louise Comstock, President of Radcliffe College, and Dr. Frank Aydelotte, President Emeritus of Swarthmore College and Director of the In- stitute of Advanced Learning at Princeton. Mr. Rhoads formally conrirnied Miss McBride's election: "Katharine Elizabeth McBride: "Pursuant to the authority granted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the Directors of Bryn Mawr College and on their behalf I have the honor and pleas- ure to confirm formally your elec- tion to the Presidency of Bryn Mawr College and to confer upon you all the rights, authority and responsibilities pertaining- to that high office, and again speaking for the Directors of Bryn Mawr Col- lege I pledge you our wholehearted support in the task and opportun- ity of helping the younger genera- tion to solve the problems of the world of today and tomorrow."

These are being presented by the Ca- rola Woerishoffer Depart- ment of Sociology, in coop- eration with the Alliance and the Bryn Mawr League. Singing, Games, Dancing, and Simple Crafts will be discussed. The first session will be held November 2, from 4.30 to 6.30, on the stage in Goodhart Hall. All interested students and vol- unteers are cordially invited. Common Room, October 27.� Speaking to students volunteering for U. S. O. work, Mrs. Chadwick- Collins stressed the importance of U. S. O. headquarters in keeping up morale. "You are participat- ing in the War effort to give, and not to get." Ann Byrd Woods, chairman of U. S. 0. work, read the advice and rules for all girls attending these dances. "Remember always that you come to parties at the club not primarily to have a good time yourself, but to give' a good time to the men. "You girls are the hostesses, the men your guests. See to it that every one of them has a.pleas- ant time while he is at the club. The man who is the best looking, the best dancer, the best talker oftm is not the man who needs most what our club has to offer. The man who seems shy or unre- sponsive, who dances poorly or won't dance at all, came to the club because he wanted some- thing. . . .

text: Ok, murderers, drug dealers, meth makers, drug users, duis, home invasions, fraud, gang violence. all these horrible people are treated soooo much better than any sex offender for any reason from the littlest crime up to what they should be put to death for. I do agree with val that the ones that raped children over and over should be put to death for in prison, general population (where someone will put them to do) for life. statutory rape would be the only crime that should not be registered for life nor should it have an outcome for life for the individual. in my state, statutory rape carries a min to max sentence of 1 to 2 years. registry for life is not forced for it. registry for the term of probation is. I know someone here with that charge that now is trying to steer those with a sexual problem to late teens away from this life. He meets with officials to find these individuals and get them into therapy before its too late. He is no longer on the registry as of December 30 2013. Should he die too? Should he be shunned for a mistake he made at the age of 20 with a girl that was 3 years younger? No. some homicides and even murderers go on to do small prison time between 4 and 20 years, do 5 years of parole after release and is longer looked after by the probation or parole or community. How is this ok for you? Drug dealers have taken the lives of millions and millions of kids and adults, but you let them go free before a sex offender. Reoffending people will always be there but not only sex offenders and not a lot of them. Drugs and dui offenders are more likely to reoffend than sex offenders. Oh yea and that guy that I have told you about. its me. I really wish you would try and come up here to my state of Tennessee and tell me where I can and cannot live. I really wish you would pull a weapon out on me in my front yard. I messed up once. Now I am trying to change things here before anyone else makes that same mistake. I really wish you would travel with your little group of advocates and find me and threaten. I wish you would. For these other commenters, let it be, lets see if shes all that she says she is. lets see if she has the balls to come up to my property and start some bs. I am not the typical ex sex offender. I fight for the would be victims now, while going to school to better my life and work on some hobbies like new culinary masterpieces in the bbq section. I help my elderly parents out. I help my father out, a bronze star recipient from the United States of America. I support my marine brother and cherish the niece that was born 5 days ago. I love my country and now im a law abiding citizen. As a matter of fact of reoffending, you reoffend quite a lot. Hypocrite much? aggravated assault in Tennessee is a felony. oh yea and im muslim on top of it but my religious beliefs do not sway my community beliefs. Stop judging people that have already been judged. Stop judging criminals since you yourself are one. You should know better. I bet you try to tell me that your crime was for the good of society but that's not right, no crime is good for society. Learn to live with all people. I wish you would be what you say you are and say something to me.

Joel McHale Gossip
Joel McHale gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Why I don't care that Community is Coming Back
(Lainey: a couple of weeks ago, Maria emailed me to say she didn't give a sh-t about Community and whether or not it would get renewed. Finally! Someone else who isn't member of the Community Fan Club. Oh I hear you smart comedy people who KNOW comedy - we don't KNOW and our failure to appreciate the show speaks to that which is deficient in our souls. Full Story
Take a deep breath.
People, take a breath in, and out. As per someone on twitter named @sam_ash who was retweeted over 100 times, "NBC totally Britta'd this whole #Community thing".Or – maybe you don't know what I'm talking about? Twitter blew up yesterday around home time because the new NBC schedule came out, and Community is not on it. Full Story
Fassbender, McGregor, and McHale!

Well that got your attention, didn't it?I don't know why Joel McHale was moderating the Haywire Q&A after the secret screening of the movie at AFI Fest the other night. Like, he's the star of his own hit cult comedy...But if you are fan - yes, I can hear you Duana - you probably love him that much more for it, right? Also, Haywire was directed by Steven Soderbergh who also directed The Informant and McHale was in The Informant although I'm pretty sure he's not in Haywire. Full Story

Which personalities did you try on before you 'settled' on the one you have now? Were you the anxious do-gooder? Did you feel like you were always behind on everything? Were you anxious because you felt too cool for the group you were in, but didn't know where else to go? I've been all these people and several more, including the person who couldn't possibly stop dropping pop culture references, no matter how inane or having nothing to do with the conversation at hand.

Energy & Environment
Grantmaking in this small interdisciplinary program looks for unique opportunities to expand our understanding of the economic, technological, organizational, regulatory, national security, and environmental consequences of energy production and consumption.
Past grantmaking in this program has led to the publication of the influential MIT reports, The Future of Nuclear Power (2003), and The Future of Coal (2007) and the Foundation is currently supporting a similar project which focuses on economic, technological, and institutional issues associated with the use of solar energy. Other recent Foundation grants in this area support the exploration of strategies for the safe, responsible expansion of nuclear power around the world, a project to examine the feasibility of extending the life of existing nuclear plants, a project to disseminate safety guidelines for the responsible use of radioactive materials at academic, industrial and medical institutions, a project examining a variety of questions related to energy security, and three projects on natural gas: one examining the economics of state-of-the-art natural gas extraction based on detailed analyses of the geological and economic attributes of five important U.S. shale gas deposits; one examining environmental and regulatory issues surrounding shale gas exploration and extraction; and one examining the politics associated with the development of public policies toward shale gas exploration and development. The Foundations most recent large grant in the energy area provides start-up funds to create a research center to study the impacts of government and utility programs to promote energy efficiency.
Due to the significant funding available from both public and private sources for energy and environmental research, the Foundation is very selective in the grants it makes in this area, supporting only projects for which non-partisan funding is not readily available, projects related to other Foundation programs or priorities, or projects where Foundation support could be leveraged to significantly raise the chances of the project's success.

Femoral nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in parts of the legs due to damage to the femoral nerve.
See also: Peripheral neuropathy ; Mononeuropathy ; Mononeuritis multiplex
Neuropathy - femoral nerve; Femoral neuropathy
The femoral nerve is located in the leg. It helps the muscles move the hip and straighten the leg. It provides feeling (sensation) to the front of the thigh and part of the lower leg.
A nerve is made up of many fibers, called axons, surrounded by insulation, called the myelin sheath.
Damage to a nerve, such as the femoral nerve, is called mononeuropathy . Mononeuropathy usually means there is a local cause of damage to a single nerve. Disorders that involve the entire body (systemic disorders) can also cause isolated nerve damage (such as occurs with mononeuritis multiplex ).
More common causes of femoral nerve dysfunction are:
Prolonged pressure on the nerve decreases blood flow in the area. This can lead to further complications.
The femoral nerve can be also be damaged if you have:
One common risk factor is lying on the back with the thighs and legs flexed and turned ("lithotomy" position) during surgery or diagnostic procedures. Branches of the femoral nerve can be compressed by tight or heavy waist belts. People who lose or gain a lot of weight may be at greater risk of femoral nerve injury. Also, people who have more widespread nerve damage from medical or hereditary causes may be more prone to injury to the femoral nerve with any pressure. In some cases, no cause can be found.
The doctor or nurse will obtain a history from you and examine you. This will include an exam of the nerves and muscles in your legs.
The exam may show:
Tests that may be done include:
Your doctor may order additional tests, depending on your medical history and symptoms. Tests may include blood tests, x-rays, and other imaging tests.
Your doctor will try to identify and treat the cause of the nerve damage. Your doctor will treat any medical problems (such as diabetes or bleeding in the pelvis) thought to be causing the nerve damage. In some cases, the nerve will heal with treatment of the underlying medical problem.
Other treatments include:
In some cases, no treatment is required and you'll recover on your own. In that case, any treatment, such as physical therapy, is aimed at increasing mobility, maintaining muscle strength and independence while you recover. Orthopedic appliances such as braces or splints may help in walking. Your health care provider might recommend vocational counseling, occupational therapy, job changes or retraining, or similar interventions.
If the cause of the femoral nerve dysfunction can be identified and successfully treated, it is possible to recover fully. In some cases, there may be partial or complete loss of movement or sensation resulting in some degree of permanent disability.
Nerve pain may be quite uncomfortable and can continue for a long time. Injury to the femoral area may also injure the femoral artery or vein, which can cause bleeding and other problems.
When there is a loss of feeling (sensation), a potential complication is repeated and unnoticed injury to the leg. When there is muscle weakness, falls and related injuries may occur.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of femoral nerve dysfunction.
Prevention depends on the cause of the nerve damage.

Seeking Undergraduate Research Scholars
Want to develop skills that will make your application to graduate school, medical school or veterinary school really stand out from the crowd?
The UC Davis Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology is recruiting undergraduate students who are eager to experience one-on-one research training and mentorship.
This will be the third cohort of students.
The program, now officially approved by the Academic Senate, is coordinated by professor Jay Rosenheim and assistant professors Louie Yang and Joanna Chiu, all of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
The Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology provides the opportunity to learn research skills in all areas of biology, including:
- behavior and ecology
- biodiversity
- agroecology
- population biology
- mathematical bology
- human health
- cell biology
- biochemistry
- molecular biology
Applications are now being accepted from first and second-year students and first-year transfer students. The application deadline is April 10, 2013. More information on the program and how to apply is on the program's website.
Successful venture? Yes, indeed. Two members of the Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology recently received President's Undergraduate Fellowship Program (PUF) grants.
They are Sarah Staley, mentored by medical entomologist Anthony "Anton" Cornel, associate entomologist with the UC Davis Department of Entomology and based at the Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Parlier; and Don Hoang, mentored by evolutionary geneticist Artyom Kopp, professor in the Department of Evolution and Ecology.
Staley and Hoang were among 25 undergraduate students receiving grants from a pool of 62 applicants. Staley submitted her proposal titled "Prevalence of Leucocytozoa Infections in Potential Vector Populations of Black Flies in Alaska." Hoang's proposal: "The Yeast/Drosophila Relationship: Is it Meant to Last?"
Read their story on the UC Davis Department of Entomology website.
No small feat. Great things are happening in the Research Scholars Program in Insect Biology. Jay Rosenheim, Louie Yang and Joanna Chiu are making it happen.

Insects and Their Taste Receptors
Molecular neurobiologist Anupama Dahanukar, assistant professor at UC Riverside, will speak on "Taste Receptors and Feeding Preferences in Insects" at the UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition, corner of Hutchison and Kleiber Hall drives.
UC Davis assistant professor Joanna Chiu, who studies the molecular genetics of animal behavior, will host the seminar, which is scheduled to be recorded for later viewing on UCTV.
The seminar will focus on the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, exciting research under way in the Dahanukar lab.
"We are interested in the molecular neurobiology of feeding behavior," Dahanukar says. "Insects use highly diverse groups of gustatory receptors (Grs) to taste the chemical world and determine the palatability of potential food sources. In Drosophila melanogaster, the 68 receptors of this family are expressed in complex combinatorial patterns in taste neurons. In previous studies we and others identified a highly conserved clade of eight Gr genes that encode sugar receptors. Although some of these have been linked to detection of sweet compounds by genetic analysis, their precise functions are still poorly understood. Little is also known about how stimuli that are typically not rich in sugars trigger highly attractive gustatory responses in Drosophila."
"Using genetic and evolutionary analysis, we recently found that Gr64e, a receptor in this clade, plays an essential role in feeding preference for beer and other yeast fermentation products. We identified that Gr64e is necessary for neuronal and behavioral responses to an abundant component of yeast and fermentation products, glycerol. Moreover, Drosophila species that carry a polymorphism disrupting Gr64e function have reduced behavioral preference for beer, suggesting that Gr64e may contribute to specific evolutionary variations in appetitive selectivity. Ectopic expression of the Gr64e receptor in an olfactory neuron is sufficient to confer glycerol sensitivity. We have extended this ectopic expression system to identify that each sweet Gr protein serves as a determinant for recognition of unique but overlapping subsets of sweet tastants."
"We have also obtained functional expression of a taste receptor from the mosquito Anopheles gambiae in Drosophila. We are now poised to further investigate taste detection and Gr function in Drosophila and other insects."
A noted scientist, Dahanukar received a National Science Foundation Career Award in 2012; the Whitehall Foundation Award in 2011; and the 2000 Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award. She was awarded a Government of India National Merit Scholarship in 1990.
Dahanukar holds a bachelor of science degree in life sciences from Bombay University, India; a master's degree in environmental management from Duke University, Durham, N.C.; and a doctorate in genetics in 1999 from Duke University, where she studied patterning along the anterior-posterior axis in Drosophila embryos. In 1999, she joined the laboratory of John Carlson at Yale University to pursue post-doctoral training in the molecular neurobiology of insect chemosensory systems. Dahanukar joined the faculty of the UC Riverside Department of Entomology in 2009.

Monarch Migrations
But how many people know about its migration?
Steve Reppert, chair and professor of the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, will speak on "Monarch Butterfly Migration: Behavior to Genes" at the Department of Entomology seminar on Wednesday, Feb. 13 from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition, corner of Hutchison and Kleiber Hall drives.
"Studies of the iconic migration of the eastern North American monarch butterfly have revealed mechanisms behind its navigation using a time-compensated sun compass," Reppert says. "Skylight cues, such as the sun itself and polarized light, are processed through both eyes and integrated in the brain's central complex, the presumed site of the sun compass. Circadian clocks that have a distinct molecular mechanism and that reside in the antennae provide time compensation. The draft sequence of the monarch genome has been presented, and gene-targeting approaches have been developed to manipulate putative migration genes. The monarch butterfly is an outstanding system to study the neural and molecular basis of long-distance migration." (See lab research.)
Hosts are Joanna Chiu, assistant professor of entomology, and Hugh Dingle, emeritus professor of entomology, will host the talk. Dingle, an authority on animal migration, was featured in a National Geographic cover story, "Mysteries of Great Migrations" in November 2010.
Reppert received his bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, in pre-medicine, and his medical degree from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship in neurobiology at the National Institutes of Child Health (NICHD), NIH, in 1979. He is a professor of pediatrics (neuroscience) at Harvard Medical School (2001 to the present) and since 2000, a pediatrician at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Reppert became the chair of the Department of Neurobiology, UMass Medical School in 2001, the same year he became the Higgins Family Professor of Neuroscience at UCMass Medical School. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The first speaker, evolutionary biologist Tim Linksvayer, will focus on superorganisms. Honey bees are considered superorganisms.
"Despite these conspicuous superorganismal properties and the inherent hierarchical organization of life in insect societies (i.e. colony-level, organismal-level), most previous studies of the evolutionary genetic and molecular basis of social insect traits use the same reductionist approaches that have been developed for solitary organisms, where an individual's traits are only influenced by its own genome. More realistically, in social organisms, an individual's traits are the property of the genomes of all social group members. I will discuss ongoing integrative research studying how social interactions in ants and honey bees affect the expression and evolution of individual- and group-level traits."
Stay tuned!

Whipworm infection is an infection of the large intestine with a type of roundworm.
Whipworm infection is caused by the roundworm, Trichuris trichiura. It is a common infection that mainly affects children.
Children may become infected if they swallow soil contaminated with whipworm eggs. When the eggs hatch inside the body, the whipworm sticks inside the wall of the large intestine.
Whipworm is found throughout the world, especially in countries with warm, humid climates. Some outbreaks have been traced to contaminated vegetables (believed to be due to soil contamination).
Symptoms range from mild to severe. Sometimes, there are no symptoms. A severe infection may cause:
A stool ova and parasites exam reveals the presence of whipworm eggs.
Mebendazole taken by mouth for 3 days is commonly prescribed when the infection causes symptoms. Albendazole or
Full recovery is expected with treatment.
Seek medical attention if you or your child develop bloody diarrhea. In addition to whipworm, there are many other infections and illnesses that can cause similar symptoms.
Improved facilities for feces disposal have decreased the incidence of whipworm.
Always wash your hands before handling food. Thoroughly washing food may also help prevent this condition.

Home-made Chocolate TrufflesThis is a subject that experts get awfully fussed about and there are all kinds of rules and regulations about handling chocolate. Therefore what I have on offer here are the easiest home-made truffles in the world. They will make an extra-special gift for someone who is happy to consume them within three days and they make an equally special ending to any special meal – served with liqueurs and coffee.
Makes about 36 This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Christmas and The Delia Collection: Chocolate |
MethodFor the basic truffle mixture, break the chocolate into squares and place it in the bowl of a food processor. Switch on and grind the chocolate until it looks granular, like sugar. Now place the cream, butter and rum or brandy in a small saucepan and bring these to simmering point. Then, with the motor switched on, pour the mixture through the feeder tube of the processor and continue to blend until you have a smooth, blended mixture. Now add the yoghurt and blend again for a few seconds. Next transfer the mixture, which will be very liquid at this stage, into a bowl, allow it to get quite cold, then cover it with clingfilm and refrigerate overnight. Don't worry: it will thicken up after several hours. |

quote:He's been working hard to come back and deserves to make a roster.
quote:Hey, buddy, I resent that!!
quote:I get his point, but I have to disagree. Chad Jones is the kind of guy who would get major props here. The Rant can be harsh, but is generally fair to a guy who works hard and produces. A few outliers might have criticized him, but his self-esteem would not take a hit here.
quote:shortcomings of our previous year and how we could or should improve.
quote:Noone ever criticized chad jones. He was a beast. I wonder if JJ reads the rant.
quote:btw....there is a site like that. I started it a few months ago
quote:Any L.S.U. football player (Or the other sports) that's effected in the least by anything that spewed out on a message board, needs to transfer to another school immediately. You're NOT L.S.U. or S.E.C. material if your mentalities are so sensitive that message board geek talk actually have an effect on actual performance on the field.
quote:Chad Jones will never make a roster. He was a great player, but his injuries were so bad he can forget football. Maybe baseball. That's where he should focus.
quote:Chad Jones is spot on and frankly a genius for pointing this out
quote:I don't disagree but have we ever had anything bad to say about him?
quote: The Rant can be harsh, but is generally fair to a guy who works hard and produces. Until the following week, and never if he's a coach.

quote:this takes way more energy than LINK this
quote:I've played basketball all of my life and I have never noticed a hard dunk taking "way more energy" than a regular dunk.
quote:Boxing out and rebounding takes way more energy than a wide-open dunk.
quote:we were originally talking about laying the ball in and a hard dunk.
quote:This whole thread was your plan to brag that you can dunk. I see right through you
quote:we are going nowhere with this thread
quote:Dunking 1 or 2 times a game is not something that takes away your energy.
quote:as opposed to a layup, it does. how can you not see this? those 1 or 2 a game come out to be 100-150 a game. one dunk might not directly hurt them but they can add up. bottom line the dunk isnt necessary. same as some RBs and wide receivers going out of bounds instead of taking the hit. keeps you in the league longer
quote: I was speculating either it is a new way to showboat by doing the opposite of a hard dunk and making it purposely delicate.
quote:i said this on page 1
quote:just lay it in. if anything its more demoralizing to the other team imo
quote:I knew a guy in high school that was 6'10 and refused to dunk a basketball. Said he didn't want to hurt his wrists.

quote:I missed the game and I'm a little thankful I did. This one is beyond tough to handle.
quote:Im really starting to get tired of this fanbase and their ridiculous pessimism. shite. /rant
quote:And for those who wanted him to call a timeout at the end of the regulation period, why? Do you not think LSU had practiced that situation 10000 times before? Because they have. No reason to let USC setup a defense. I didn't like the shot, but I didn't mind Jones putting the ball in Hickeys hands to do what he pleased.
quote:and i am not criticizing the coach (i think he is doing a good job and i think he managed the game well). i am merely questioning one play, bc leaving "the ball in Hicky's hands to do what he pleased" led to a JOB 3-point shot... i doubt they practice that. couple that with USC playing a zone (which LSU has yet to figure out in any game) and i think calling a time out to settle the players and draw up a play would have been a good idea.
quote:The loss really puts a damper on LSU's season prospects. With this being one of their easier match-ups, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. LSU had way more mental mistakes in this one than anyone could have expected, and they lost LSU the game.
quote:I think overall, he coached well
quote:and played their best Basketball in the Conference tourney
quote:We'll be the best 14 seed ever!
quote:. That's the fans' job, be encouraging, cheer for a team, regardless
quote:I'm OK with the deserved criticisms (indeed I'll make them myself) about individual mistakes etc., but I'm sick and tired of "fans" just piling on negativity all the time. LSU basketball fans must be the worst ever.
quote:The biggest problem, imo with all college fans, is that they start to view the games as some sort of business product.

Yes, that always amazes me how something that pretty just doesn't move at all but make an example...show them what can be done and bam!...out the door it goes.
AND what is nice about a line like that is you can just do something simple and come out with something smashing!
Great job!

I actually really like this fabric. I won some and was thinking about the best way to use it. I was thinking purses/bags, kids clothes, but I really like your quilt, so I am probably going to go with something like that. I should have some left over for bags or clothes. Wonderful, thanks!

This is gorgeous. I voted against the blue dots (I was *sure* they weren't right), and that just goes to reinforce that I know absolutely nothing about combining fabrics. Looking at the finished project, it was the perfect choice.

great way to use these fabrics together! My LQS ordered the whole line and is having a similar problem. I should show them this. The white really does break it up and make the prints stand out! LOVE!

You did this quilt perfectly! It is a hard line for quilts, better for totes and apparel and such...I love how you put this together. Well done!!

Hi Amy just on the off chance I don't suppose the quilt shop you work in has any fig tree buttercup fabric? I am itching to buy some.

This is utterly fantastic! I think I'd also enjoy the challenge of designing a quilt using fabrics that aren't selling in a shop. You've showcased them beautifully!

This is such an eye catcher! The prints are so well balanced and the white boarder just keeps is all pulled together. Nice finish!
