The price of gasoline in Maine has shot up in the past week.
Gasbuddy.com senior analyst Greg Laskoski said the statewide average gasoline price in Maine today is $3.70 per gallon. That's up $0.17 in the past week. Laskoski said prices are up across the nation, but the northeast and the Great Lakes region are seeing the biggest jumps because there are fewer options available to access fuel.
"If we look at the Gulf Coast in the Southeastern U.S., for instance, we can access fuel by trucks, by tanker and by pipeline," said Laskoski. "In the northeast we have fewer pipelines available getting into those markets. same thing in the great lakes region."
Laskoski said demand is up nationwide, historically something that happens in July and inventories have declined, somewhat.

Oil guru: 'smart' hoopla outpaced reality, Part II
IT likely to play ever-larger role in running grid
In yesterday's column, we offered the first part of my look at a conversation between Pulitzer Prize-winning energy author Daniel Yergin and my colleague Marty Rosenberg, editor of EnergyBiz magazine, which hosts the 2012 EnergyBiz Leadership Forum set for March 19-21 in Washington, D.C.
In the prior column, Yergin discussed how global electricity consumption doubled from 1980 to 2010 and will double again by 2030. The author gave his take on smarter grids and on the need for "heavy duty technological innovation." We continue with his views (and my kibitzing) here.
As an author writing on energy, how does Yergin find the public appetite for energy-related discussions? Rosenberg asked him. (Hint: his answer may be useful to the power industry's own quest for involving its customers.)
Attention rises when there's a crisis, Yergin replied. His book, The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power (1991) was released during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and shot to the top of the best-seller list. Yergin's The Quest: Energy, Security and the Remaking of the Modern World (2011) entered the picture during a time of ongoing economic stagnation.
"There's an interest among young people in energy that wasn't there before," Yergin added. "Clearly, the public is very interested in energy alternatives, green energy. Climate is an issue that has gotten a lot more people interested in energy. For a lot of people, it's a pocketbook issue. When prices rise, people are concerned with stability, with reliability. This is something that Americans are worried about. What does our energy future look like? That's one of the reasons they're interested in The Quest, because it gives you a framework for coming to clearer views on your own part in [that future]."
I'd jump in here to ask, rhetorically, whether that insight really does help the power industry. Do regional blackouts or storm-related outages really provide a platform for pressing grid modernization investments? Or does that seem too opportunistic? I'd like to hear from customer service and communications people on that question. It strikes me that a credible message should be consistently conveyed and if a crisis draws customers' attention, that message is in place.
Yergin and Rosenberg touched on the issues surrounding the power industry's fuel mix of coal, nuclear, natural gas and renewable energy. Yergin placed into context the power industry's current fascination with natural gas—touted by some as solving the power industry's concerns with both cost and lower air quality impacts—when he characterized the relationship over time as "turbulent and tempestuous." Natural gas' history of price spikes has repeatedly "burned" the power industry, he said. Natural gas advocates' enthusiasm aside, that history makes some utility executives uneasy.
"Is this time different?" Yergin asked, rhetorically.
According to Yergin, the U.S. currently is an exporter of coal, natural gas is becoming the default fuel for electricity generation and the country must partner with France and Japan if it pursues a nuclear future. Meanwhile, for many reasons, including the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions and the high return on investment for energy efficiency measures, investment in clean energy alternatives has increased, he added.
All fairly conventional points, to be sure, but coming from another perspective in the energy sector.
One is tempted to combine the titles of Yergin's two most popular works with what appears to be one of his central themes. That is, that the quest for the prize will reward the players who innovate around clean energy. I believe the evidence reflects that the U.S. could succeed in this endeavor, but the pitfalls are deep and many, including a lack of focus on the future. Despite the fury of innovation taking place here, politically and institutionally, America is looking backwards at its once-great past and fighting change instead of leading it. That must change.

A coal fired power plant is more useful than smart meter
In my opinion smart meters are primarily useful as a vehicle to delay generation investment and distribution system upgrades, as well as convenient aids in extracting extra short-term revenue from the end users by creation of time dependent rate schedules.
The idea that coal, the cheapest energy source, cannot be made "clean" with modern emissions controls is imbecilic. Natural gas merely reduces CO2 emissions, it doesn't eliminate them. Besides, unless all of earth sciences are lying to us, the CO2 levels in the Cretaceous was perhaps 15 times greater than at present. And what about the worst greenhouse gas of all, water vapor? Who regulates that? A carbon tax is a pretty stupid idea unless ALL of the carbon users participate; at this point it would merely serve to accelerate China's economic machine even farther beyond ours than it is.
Eliminating 2 to 3 cent a KW power from a baseload coal station equipped with appropriate emissions equipment and replacing it with 10 to 15 cent a KW natural gas fired unit power is tantamount to sticking a knife into US industry and by extension all of the employees of that industry. If we're really trying to kill off the middle class, getting rid of their technical jobs is a good way to do it.
Until China and the rest of the developing world are willing to "fight the good fight" and reduce their coal consumption also, what is the point of the US crippling ourselves in an economic war? All that has been accomplished so far is to drive industry offshore and give China another source of cheap fuel. It's not like China isn't technically able to build commercial nuclear power stations, it's just that coal is cheaper and faster to do. And apparently they're not particularly interested in placing their national interest in the caring hands of the natural gas producers. So go right ahead touting the smart meter paradigm; I'm sure China's financial wizards are laughing all the way to the bank.
Interested Young People
I wonder how many of those interested young people are seeking degrees in engineering, material science, chemistry or any of the myriad of educational offerings that would lead them toward a career path in energy. Similarly, I wonder how many are seeking no degree at all or degrees in law, journalism, philosophy and/or political science.
We are bloody well covered with opinionated ignoramuses with no actual education or meaningful experience in the field of energy itself. Meanwhile, employment opportunities in the hard sciences and engineering go wanting.

- "Peg, is that you? I'm sorry..."
- ―Anthony's last words
Anthony Corrado was a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto IV. Corrado was Jimmy Pegorino's personal bodyguard and was raised as his son after Pegorino's blood-son committed suicide. He soon wore a wire and entered the Witness Protection Program but never mananged to testify against the Pegorino criminal organization as he was murdered by Niko Bellic in the hospital of Alderney.
Pegorino claims to have raised Corrado like he was his own son after his son committed suicide. He (and his wife) even go so far as to abuse and berate him as if he were their son.
Corrado was arrested three times between 1995-1997, for Hijacking, Assault, and Manslaughter.
Events of GTA IV
First Appearances
Corrado first meets Niko during Pegorino's Pride, after Angie Pegorino opened the door for Niko.
Corrado then tells to Pegorino that Peter Marchetti and Marco Bonnaro, two of the Pegorino crime family's soldiers, along with Ray Boccino come.
Corrado is later seen, sleeping during his work. Niko awakes him in order to ask him to call for Pegorino. Corrado yells at Pegorino that Niko came. Pegorino, angry, tells Corrado to "fuck off", much to Corrado's shock.
Pegorino later reveals to Niko Bellic during the opening cutscene for the mission Flatline that Corrado had been wearing a wire and working for the FIB. Corrado suffers a heart attack earlier after Pegorino threatens him over the phone, and is placed under maximum security at Westdyke Memorial Hospital in Leftwood, which Niko Bellic is forced to infiltrate in order to silence him. He dies after Niko shuts down his life support or kills him in his hospital bed by other means. If Niko shuts off his life support, Anthony's last words can be heard, which are: "Peg, is that you? I'm sorry...".

If you live in a city and call 911 for a medical emergency, chances are that the fire department will show up. Virtually all firefighters in Portland now are trained in EMS, and responding to medical calls is an ever-increasing part of the job. Because of that, the Portland Fire Department has been focusing heavily on improving outcomes for medical emergencies in the field. One notable success: The survival rate for patients in cardiac arrest has jumped from 3 percent to 17 percent in the last two years. As Samantha Fields reports, it's all part of the changing role of urban fire departments.
It's mid-morning on a Tuesday, and a group of guys from the Portland Fire Department is gathered at the Stevens Avenue Armory. Lt. John Kooistra is taking them through recent cases - high level medical emergencies that the fire department responded to. Many of them are cardiac arrests.
"Called to above address for a male patient unconscious," he says. "En route, advised by fire alarm the patient was in cardiac arrest and CPR was in progress."
The Fire Department does case reviews like this about once a month. David Carter is a firefighter and paramedic, who's been with the Portland Fire Department for 10 years. He says that recently, the reviews have included a lot more positive outcomes.
"Over the years that I've been doing this, typically when you'd get a call for a cardiac arrest, you kind of knew the outcome even before you got there - it was very rare that you had a save," Carter says. "It was great when you had one but you just kind of knew it wasn't going to happen. Now, just in the past few months, you hear people left and right, 'Oh, we had a code save yesterday!' And it's so rare - or was so rare. And now it's becoming fairly common."
The fire department attributes that to a mix of things: better technology that enables firefighters and paramedics to monitor, in real time, how they're doing with CPR; and new protocols, including keeping patients in place for a solid 20 minutes, to administer care in the field, rather than transporting them immediately to the hospital.
"So, it's not like the old days when I started, when you'd pick a patient up and just take them to the hospital. We're now providing that level of care in the street that's equivalent to what goes on in the emergency room," says Terry Walsh, the deputy fire chief in charge of EMS for the city of Portland.
Walsh has been with the department for 35 years. In that time, he's seen an enormous shift in what it means to be a firefighter, and in the kinds of calls the department is responding to.
"Probably at one time it was 50-50 when I first started, maybe EMS was even a little less than that," Walsh says. "I know since '77, our calls on the EMS side have doubled."
These days, the percentage of calls that are medical emergencies is closer to 70 percent. David Carter says that makes firefighting a very different job than it once was.
"Previously, years ago, there were a lot more fires. So firefighter's primary job was obviously to be a firefighter," Carter says. "Things have changed. There's fire prevention, sprinkler systems, even smoke detectors make a big difference. And now what we're seeing is there's a shift towards a lot more medical calls. And they're giving firefighters a lot more responsibility on those medical calls."
Deputy Fire Chief Terry Walsh says he expects that trend to continue. "Society's getting older, society's getting sicker. We're seeing more and more cardiac and respiratory and diabetic type calls out there. And we're changing to meet the needs of the public."
Generally, though, the public's perception of what the fire department does has not quite caught up to the reality. Walsh says that often, when firefighters arrive on scene, someone will say, "I called for an ambulance, not a fire truck." But in cities like Portland, the men and women who pull up in that truck are equally prepared to deal with a medical emergency as they are to put out a fire.

DFG offers three types of wildlife areas to visit
Last week, in describing changes in the Department of Fish and Game's check-in at the state's Type-A wildlife areas, some people asked, "What are the different type of wildlife areas I can visit?"
There are three types: Type A, Type B and Type C, and each describe how intensely the area is managed and what it takes to access it.
Type A: This is the most intensely managed area of the three. You'll also find the most vegetation and water manipulation activities for the game that both will attract. The DFG will staff a hunter check station and physically check each and every hunter in and out. All game taken by hunters is identified and tabulated. There is a fee to hunt a Type-A area, which can be daily, or the hunter can purchase an annual pass.
Type B: There's also a fee to hunt in Type-B areas, but you won't find a staffed hunter check station. The Type-B area is less managed with less attractive water and vegetation. Depending on the weather pattern during the waterfowl hunting season, any flooding or even pond water generally is created by rainfall.
Yet, many Type-B areas are good for waterfowl hunting.
Type C: While these properties are owned by the DFG, they are not staffed. Most contain extensive upland habitats, ideal for game such as quail, pheasant and dove. Access is on a self-serve basis, and there are no fees for access.
To locate the various wildlife areas offered by the DFG, visit their website at www.dfg.ca.gov.
Current fishing
Fort Bragg: The wind was calm last week, the sea pretty well flattened out. And the salmon bite was on. I received an e-mail from Pat and Karen Heaviside, skippers of the 32-foot BRAGG-N, which said they had limits by 7 a.m. and were headed back to port. Now that can be considered a truly hot bite. The cooling weather trend this week, though, could disrupt the sea conditions, so check before heading up north.
Collins Lake: It's a great lake for taking the kids. The fishing opportunities are good, and when the bite slows or stops, they can go swimming on the slow-sloping beach at the campgrounds area. Bluegill, crappie and bass are hitting in the shallows around structure — brush and trees. Haul a dodger in front of a spinner or threaded night crawler, and trout are still a good possibility.
Hell Hole Reservoir: Big warning: Bears and rattlesnakes are out in force in the region, so watch where you step and place your hands, and be sure all foodstuffs are secured. Even with that, the fishing at this lake is outstanding for kokanee, running just over a foot long and down 25 to 35 feet. Lake trout, or mackinaw, bite is good, but you really have to go deep. The lake is full and spilling, and you have to fish 10 feet off the bottom to find a mackinaw.
Rollins Lake: While it's a recreational boating paradise, there are bass to three pounds to be had and even an occasional trout. Work the shady coves for bass.
Topwater gear should entice a bass at the crack of dawn and just before sunset. Otherwise, toss plastics, cranks and spinnerbaits. Trout mainly are being found in the Bear River arm.
Frenchman Lake: It took a while, but the lake is totally full. Tossing salmon eggs from shore at the campground has been yielding 'bows to 20 inches. If you troll, head for the east end of the lake. Needlefish have been working, but keep swapping lures until you find the exact lure and pattern that works that day.
Lake Almanor: The lake is within two feet of spill at the spillway next to the dam. Besides the high water, there's a tremendous amount of debris on the surface you have to dodge when trolling. To top it off, the fishing is some of the worst. Last year, 205,500 fish were planted in the lake, which included 50,000 Eagle Lake rainbows, 45,500 German brown trout, 60,000 salmon and an additional 50,000 Eagle Lake rainbows released from cages after being raised in pens in Hamilton Branch by the Lake Almanor Fishing Association. This year, 50,000 rainbows were released from the pens in late May. While trolling, you don't even scope that many fish, nor is anybody scoping the huge schools of Japanese pond smelt generally seen now. We've picked up a few but nothing like we should be hammering. Our biggest this past week was a 3¼-pound brown trout, falling to a hauled crawler behind a dodger, down 32 feet along the east shore.
Bay Area: Most boats continue in pot luck mode, fishing in the bay for a few halibut and stripers, and going outside and fishing along the Marin County coast for rock cod, an occasional Pacific halibut, and most have been getting a bunch of the most favored bottom fish. The lingcod bite has been outstanding.
Boats going for salmon, however, have found the bite remaining somewhat tough. Sometimes, getting one fish a rod — average — has been just about the rule.
Folsom Lake: Don't look for much in the way of trout or salmon action, trolling or from the bank soaking bait. Nobody has been finding any. Bass are in summer lethargic mode, laying low in the shadows of structure. They'll chomp on a drifted minnow, though most bass purists disdain any form of bait in favor of tossing artificials. Beat the water with everything in the tackle box. Bump them on the nose and you should get a reaction bite.
Monterey: The salmon bite in the San Francisco region north to Fort Bragg has been hit and miss, but it finally burst wide open in the Monterey area. When more than a dozen anglers on one boat can limit with fish to 35 pounds, and then do it again the next day, the salmon fishing can only be described as great. It could be worth the long drive.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Comments about Royal Oud By Creed:
I bought this scent without smelling it because I have another fragrance that contains Oud and love it. This is an amazing fragrance! I put it on and once it dried down I kept smelling this beautiful smell. I realized it was me. I'm so happy that FragranceX.com sells it at a lower price. It is still expensive but better than in the stores. I also got it at a discount, which made it even better. I will be sticking with this one. Thank you FragrenceX!

Thanks to all who attended and participated in this year's NAUCRP.Check out some of photos from the 2013 conference!
The 6th annual North American Undergraduate Conference in Religion and Philosophy will be held March 22 & 23, 2013 at Saint Francis University. Keynote speaker Randall Stephens, Reader in History and American Studies at Northumbria University (UK), will kick-off this event with his "Evangelical Anti-intellectualism in Modern America" ethics lecture on Friday, March 22 at 7pm in DiSepio 213.
This conference is open to the public and free for presenters and non-presenters. For more information, check out the
Maps & DirectionsVisitor Information
This conference is sponsored by St. Francis University with support from SFU's
Exploring intellectual authority within evangelicalism, Randall Stephens will speak about how America's populist ideals, anti-intellectualism, and religious free market, along with the concept of anointing—being chosen by God to speak for him like the biblical prophets—established a conservative evangelical leadership isolated from the world of secular arts and sciences. Today, charismatic and media-savvy creationists, historians, psychologists, and biblical exegetes continue to receive more funding and airtime than their more qualified counterparts. Though a growing minority of evangelicals engage with contemporary scholarship, the community's authority structure still encourages the "anointed" to assume positions of leadership.
Professor Stephens is co-author of The Anointed: Evangelical Truth in a Secular Age and has written for The Atlantic, the New York Times, Christian Century, Christianity Today, and Books and Culture.
We wish to thank the School of Arts and Letters, the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, the G. Steven Neeley Fund, and the Institute for Ethics for their generous support. Thanks also to all of those who help make this conference happen, especially Arthur Remillard, Patty McVicker, Rosemary Bertocci, Mike McKale, Randall Stephens, Fr. Gabriel Zeis, Wayne Powel, Tim Whisler, Robin Cadwallader, Pat Socoski, Jeff Robins, Matt Sayers, Joseph Williams, and Grant Julin.

We consistently hear from you that the discussion and interactive aspects of our workshops are highly valued. This makes sense. As we work together on new information, we challenge our assumptions, develop specific insights, and learn from one another.
A recent study supports your feedback. Last year, the Johnson Center for Philanthropy did a study for Wilberforce University on effective capacity building strategies. This exhaustive study surveyed literature from 2008-2013, surveyed 236 foundations, and included 20 interviews. One key result of this study was that peer-to-peer learning (or collaborative learning) surfaced as the best capacity building approach.
Since last summer, ONEplace has been piloting peer-to-peer learning groups. In addition, we've learned from persons who have benefitted from other collaborative learning groups. Now it's time to move this effort to its next phase.
On March 6 we will hold a Peer-to-Peer Learning Forum that will include a short presentation plus opportunities to discuss and contribute to the next significant steps in this process. Your voice is a vital component, because our goal, as always, is to be a catalyst for your success.

I've been trying to understand how my compensation stacks up against the competition. I understand that this can be a bit of a localized question, so I'll do my best to avoid local issues.
There are a number of web sites that provide salary survey data about different jobs. I've been looking at the data on careerbuilder.com in particular. I would like to use this data to understand how much salary I would be wise to ask for in negotiation, but it seems impossible to interpret.
Let me start with job titles. I have a background in mathematics and computer programming. I am currently doing database-driven web development using mostly SQL, .net, and Javascript. I do much more programming than I do web design. In my current position, I was told that I would be a "Web Developer". I was told that I would be junior to the "Application Developers", but senior to "Junior Developers". That was fine with me. After several months lapsed, I received (with no prior notice) a new nameplate for my cube that bore the title "Application Developer". The developers who had been previously called "Application Developers" are now called "Sr. Systems Analysts". As far as I know, these new nameplates did not accompany any actual organizational change or pay differences.
However, when I go to the salary surveys on careerbuilder.com and enter in "computer programmer", "application developer", "web developer" and other seemingly similar titles, I get wildly divergent results.
Even more divergent are the results on Glassdoor.com, which reports survey results from individual companies. Consider this example: ( http://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/net-salary-SRCH_KO0,3.htm ) that has differences of over 100% salary between different companies for the same title!

The Rockers ended up winning 19-8, as Wayne Gretzky joined them for the second period. OK, just joking.
It was actually Wangersky.
That, too, was a fib.
Now that my nose is longer than the Northern Peninsula because of such lies...the NHLers actually captured this years Juno Cup with a 9-8 win at the Jack Byrne Arena. The damage could have been a lot worse, obviously, as the ex-pros played their musical opponents like instruments. After the match, it was neither a hockey player nor someone from the music industry that got the most autograph requests.
That distinction belonged to Allan Hawco. The Republic of Doyle star stayed on the ice long after the final buzzer signing programs and ticket stubs. (To see what he thought of that, click here.) He appeared somewhat humbled by his popularity.
Some thoughts on the game:
* Rex Goudie isn't a bad goalie.
* Jon Gallant of Billy Talent has some, well, talent.
* Former NHL enforcer Troy Crowder 433 penalty minutes in just 150 games is a big man.
* So is country singer George Canyon.
To hear one of my favourite NHL players of all time talk retirement and roots, click here.
To see who a TSN host thinks will win the Stanley Cup, watch this.
* * *
After a skills competition and sing-off, the game is knotted at six. The Rockers won all three skills competitions to take a 6-5 lead, but ex-NHLer Mark Napier beat Jim Cuddy in a sing-off (based on audience applause). Cuddy sang the Blue Rodeo classic Try at centre ice. Napier then joked he had never heard a Blue Rodeo song, so he had to get the words off the internet. The former Montreal Canadien then sang his version of the tune, which he said was a sissy song and needed to be re-written. His version: Every time I come to the Rock, I can never be sure of the weather.
* * *
The NHLers lead the Rockers 5-3 after the first period of the 2010 Juno Cup. Gary Roberts and Terry Ryan each have two goals for the ex-pros, while Andy Sullivan has one. Dominic Mancuso a singer/songwriter nominated for a Juno in the world music category has scored twice for the Rockers. Jim Cuddy also has a goal, beating hot goaltender Rex Goudie on a penalty shot. For much of the first period, the NHLers put on a passing clinic. The teams are now battling in a skills competition.
* * *
The puck has dropped on the 2010 Juno Cup and former NHL star Gary Roberts scored the first goal seconds in.
The line-ups were announced by Michael Landsberg, host of TSN's Off The Record.
He's also doing play-by-play.
The NHL Greats include Roberts, Tony Currie, Darren Langdon, Terry Ryan, Harold Druken, Andrew McKim, Troy Crowder, Brad Dalgarno, Andy Sullivan, Greg Smyth, Mark Napier and former Canadian Idol star Rex Goudie.
Goudie got actually got the loudest ovation.
The Rockers roster includes over 20 players. Among them are Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo), rapper Classified, Sean McCann (Great Big Sea), Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle), John Gallant (Billy Talent), and country singer George Canyon.
Hawco recieved the loudest applause.
Alan Doyle is coaching the The Rockers.
Landsberg is encouraging Doyle, a goalie, to play the second half.

Digital Copyright: Protecting Intellectual Property on the Internet ...
Prometheus Books, Jan 1, 2001 - Law - 208 pages
In 1998, copyright lobbyists succeeded in persuading Congress to enact laws greatly expanding copyright owners' control over individuals' private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these new rights have resulted in highly publicized legal battles between established media, such as major record labels and motion picture studios, and upstart Internet companies, such as MP3.com and Napster.
In this enlightening and well-argued book, law professor Jessica Litman questions whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the vast majority of us. Should every interaction between ordinary consumers and copyright-protected works be restricted by law? Is it practical to enforce such laws, or expect consumers to obey them? Most important, what are the effects of such laws on the exchange of information in a free society? Litman's critique exposes the 1998 copyright law as an incoherent patchwork. She argues for reforms that reflect common sense and the way people actually behave in their daily digital interactions.
You'll be amazed at how much current copyright law affects you today and how it will influence creative works in the future.

Multiple Sclerosis and Geographic Location
Topic Overview
The number of people who have multiple sclerosis (MS) increases the farther away they are from the equator.
In areas near the equator, MS occurs in fewer than 1 out of 100,000 people. In areas farther from the equator—such as northern Europe and northern North America—MS occurs in around 30 to 80 out of 100,000 people.1 When moving south of the equator, the number of people with MS is less dramatic, but the same trend is seen.
Some evidence suggests that people who move from a high-risk to a low-risk area before the age of 15 reduce their chances of developing MS. But the same is true in reverse. In those who move from a low-risk area to a high-risk area before the age of 15, the risk of getting MS increases. Those older than 15 when they move to a new area retain the risk associated with their old area.1
Most experts agree that this unusual relationship between geographic location and MS suggests that an environmental factor is partly responsible for causing the disease.

You guys keep asking how I do my the dreads in my hair and how I do the beads and how I keep the red in.
I'm going to make a video about all of that. It's not as complicated as it looks.
Here are the steps to get you by before I air the tutorial:
1. Bleach the hair. Flash lightning kits 30 volume work best. Pick random piece of hair you want to be colored and bleach it til it turns the color of a banana peel.
2. Pravana CHROMASILK hair color. That's the shit you use. I'm telling you. It LASTS and it's cheap. And I like cheap.
3. Dreads? Take random hair from Claire's or Hot Topic. The clip in stuff. I like it because it's not real hair and it dreads after being washed a few times. I literally take the hair… and braid it into my own hair. That's it! A simple braid! Secure with beads of your choice and elastics.
I wash my hair about once or twice a week. My hair doesn't get oily or greasy looking. It looks bad when I wash it and looks good about the 4th day or so. That is just my hair type though. Everyone has different hair. You may need to wash it more or less depending.
Use SULFATE FREE shampoo because it helps the color last longer and keeps it brighter. I don't wash the dreads but I scrub my scalp and roots and the shampoo and water runs through the dreads. I leave them in. They've been in for two years and counting. Good luck!
WARNING: This is a lot of damage to your hair. Seriously. Just try adding beads and braiding your Clip In extensions and just clip them in when you want them and take them out when you don't. My dreads have been in so long that if I take them out I'll be almost bald. You don't want that. I used to use clip ins but then I realized I wanted them to be in 247 so I just sort of used metal wire and string to lock them in permanently. Dummy!

At a Glance
Measles is the most deadly of all childhood rash/fever illnesses. The disease spreads very easily, so it is important to protect against infection. To prevent measles, children (and some adults) should be vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Two doses of this vaccine are needed for complete protection. Children should be given the first dose of MMR vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age. The second dose can be given 4 weeks later, but is usually given before the start of kindergarten at 4 to 6 years of age.

- Task force assigned to Chris "Birdman" Andersen case awaiting forensic evidence
Denver Nuggets center Christopher "Birdman" Andersen has been "excused indefinitely" from team activies while Douglas County sheriff's detectives investigate him for unknown Internet crimes against children, the team announced this afternoon.
Authorities searched Andersen's Larkspur home this morning and seized property. Andersen, 33, has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
"The Denver Nuggets are aware of today's media reports involving forward/center Chris Andersen. It involves a legal investigation and we are awaiting further details," team officials wrote in an unsigned statement. "Per team policy, the Nuggets will not coment on any ongoing legal circumstance involving any player or employee."
The Nuggets have a crucial game tonight at Pepsi Center against the Lakers in the first-round of the playoffs.
Denver trails Los Angeles three games to two in this best-of-seven series. Andersen, a Nuggets bench player, has not played at all during the series.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Deborah Sherman said the investigation remains open and declined to provide details about what items deputies took or any specific allegations against Andersen.
"It could include many different things. Right now we're not saying. They literally just got the property this morning," Sherman said. "The sheriff's office did contact him this morning while he was at his house and he cooperated fully."
Andersen also participated in the Nuggets' shootaround this morning. He did not return a call for comment.
Mark Bryant, Andersen's longtime lawyer and confidant, released this statement to The Denver Post calling the Nuggets player an "outstanding member of this community."
"I believe in Chris. I would ask the citizens of Colorado to give Chris his due," Bryant wrote. "Like every one of us, he is presumed innocent. At the end of the day, I am confident it will be shown that he did nothing wrong."
Nuggets coach George Karl said before the team's game against the Lakers that he talked to Andersen earlier in the day.
"For me right now, I'm in a stage where I don't know enough information and we're advised probably not to talk about it until we know the information," Karl said. "But the one thing I will say is, I trust Chris. My years with him, he's been fantastic and he's really grown as a person. We're going to support him and stand by him."
In Colorado, Internet crimes against children can include anything from exchanging pornographic images of kids to using chatrooms to lure children for sexual purposes.
Frequently, police seize computers, data storage devices and other electronics in these types of investigations.
Proving who used the device can be tricky if multiple people have access to it. Public records suggest one other person — a 30-year-old woman — may live at the Larkspur home.
Andersen has been under investigation since February, when a California law enforcement agency tipped off Douglas County investigators.
Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Bill DeHart doesn't know the specifics of the Andersen investigation, but said there is a network of more than 60 agencies across the country who share information about internet exploitation of children.
In child pornography cases, for example, one bust can lead authorities to a network of trading partners in other states and countries, said DeHart, who heads the Springs' Internet Crimes Against Children Unit and provides technical assistance to other Colorado agencies.
"Think of it a narcotics trafficking network. There may be thousands of people out there right now who have never met each other," DeHart said. "If we arrest someone in Colorado Springs and that person has been in contact with people across the United States, we'll send out those leads."
Andersen has run into trouble before when was banned from the NBA in 2006 for violating the league's drug policy. His ensuing turnaround was heralded as a success story when he rejoined the NBA in 2008.

Let's start with the negatives. After all, this is a column about the much-maligned Rex Grossman.
The demoted Curtis Painter of Indianapolis, rookies Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder of Jacksonville and Minnesota, respectively, the ever-struggling Tarvaris Jackson of Seattle and 2010 No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford of St. Louis have something in common besides the fact that they're NFL quarterbacks on bad teams.
They're also the only ones behind Grossman in the passer ratings. And only the recently waived Kyle Orton throws interceptions even close to as often as Grossman.
And yet, the question for Washington fans shouldn't be why is Grossman the Redskins' starting quarterback? The question is why didn't he get the job back from John Beck sooner than two games ago?
Grossman deserved to get benched for Beck after throwing four interceptions in three quarters against the mega-disappointing Philadelphia Eagles. He was so ill with pneumonia the following week that he needed to be hospitalized when the Redskins returned from Carolina, a game in which Beck was decent. But after the subsequent shutout by Buffalo, it was obvious that Beck wasn't giving the Redskins the best chance to win, which is what coach Mike Shanahan always says is his criteria for choosing a starter.
I'm not saying that Grossman is an elite quarterback. Far from it. He's not even in the top half of the league's passers, but the difference between him and Beck is not nearly as small as it appears from their statistics which are very close.
It comes down to two factors. Grossman is 4-4 as Washington's starter. Beck is 0-3.
The Redskins average 18.1 points with Grossman at quarterback, 11.0 with Beck. The average NFL offense scores 20 points a game. With Grossman at the helm, Washington has a watchable, run of the mill offense. Beck delivered unwatchable incompetence.
In Beck's final two games as the starter, he was sacked 10 times during the Buffalo debacle and threw so many screen passes in the followup against San Francisco (in which Washington came close to being blanked for a second straight week) that rookie running back broke Hall of Fame receiver Art Monk's Redskins record with 14 catches.
In Grossman's last two games, the Redskins have scored 47 points and generated 755 yards.
The bad Rex, who can turn 2nd-and-7 into third-and-19 with a boneheaded intentional grounding penalty as he did last Sunday at Seattle, is still there, but so is the good Rex, who immediately responded by with the gorgeous 50-yard touchdown to receiver Anthony Armstrong that put the Redskins ahead to stay during the come-from-behind, losing streak-snapping victory.
"That's Rex, always looking to make a play down the field," said receiver Jabar Gaffney, who played with Grossman at Florida before reuniting with him this season.
"(Rex) wants to go downfield," agreed Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who has coached Grossman the last three seasons. "Even when he does struggle, he comes out there with confidence. He plays one play at a time and he's a guy you believe in for that reason. That's why the guys follow him."
Santana Moss, Washington's best receiver the last seven years, made the Pro Bowl with Mark Brunell as his quarterback, had his highlights with Jason Campbell and Todd Collins and set a career-high in catches with Donovan McNabb throwing him the ball. But for Moss, there's something special about Grossman.
"Rex's not going to be a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning (in terms of efficiency), but he's my guy," said Moss, who re-signed with Washington in July with the expectation that Grossman would be the starter. "Once I got the hang of playing with him ... he made me a believer. He's tough. He's going to stand in there, take hits and try to make sure that he give you the opportunity to make a play. You give him time and he can throw the ball anywhere."
The Redskins aren't going anywhere, but if cornerback DeAngelo Hall had stopped Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant on those two critical third-and-very longs in the gut-wrenching losses to Dallas, Grossman would be 6-2 as a starter and Washington would be 6-5 and leading the NFC East. That's amazing.
Grossman hasn't convinced me, and almost surely won't, that he should be the Redskins' quarterback in 2012. That job should belong to whichever quarterback they draft in the first round. But Rex is certainly clearly better than Beck and I was wrong for thinking otherwise.
WUSA-9's Redskins Insider, David Elfin, has covered sports since he was a junior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in 1975. He is the Washington representative on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee and is the author of five books on the Redskins including the new "Washington Redskins: The Complete Illustrated History."

Are you having a hard time finding Braden Holtby gear or Caps gear for that matter, in preparation for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Wednesday? Let us know in comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter using #WTOPHoltby.
WASHINGTON – The Kettler Iceplex notified WTOP that they have Braden Holtby jerseys at the team store.
The store has two finished jerseys on hand, but also customizes jerseys in the store, says Brandy Kelley, head of the jersey department.
The prices range from $185 to $165 for men, women and youth custom jerseys
Previously: Tuesday – 4/24/2012, 5:53am ET
Dick Uliano, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The Capitals' red-hot goalie Braden Holtby has been great in the playoffs, but fans are having a hard time finding a Holtby jersey.
It's because he is so new to the team.
Sporting goods stores, including Modell's, Dicks and Champs, do not have a single Braden Holtby jersey in stock. Ovechkin, Backstrom and Semin jerseys are far easier to find.
Holtby was just called up from the minors last month when both Caps' goalies Michal Neuvirth and Thomas Vokoun suffered injuries.
In his time minding the net, 22-year-old Holtby has excelled against the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins.
"A great save by Holtby" and "What a shot and a glove save made by Braden Holtby" have been familiar cries from John Walton, radio voice on WFED for the Washington Caps.
At NHL.com, buyers can find 89 items for sale bearing Alexander Ovechkin's name, even Ovechkin beer bottles. There are 29 Niklas Backstrom pieces of merchandise, including a Nic Backstrom magnet set. But when you search Holtby — the result says, "We're having trouble locating a match."
However, if fans are willing to do some online shopping, there is Holtby gear on eBay.
Holtby T-shirts start at $22 and a home jersey is priced at $175.
Amazon has a white caps Holtby jersey bearing number 70 for $76.
The Caps take on the Bruins in Game 7 Wednesday.

Encounter! The Boy with a Star's Name (出会い 「星」の名を持つ少年, Deai "Hoshi" no Na o Motsu Shōnen) is episode 178 of the original Naruto anime.
Tenten, Neji, and Rock Lee were assigned to a mission to protect the star belonging to Hoshigakure. When Naruto heard of the star's special chakra enhancing power he decided that he too must go along because of his assumption that Orochimaru may be involved. Naruto manages to convince Tsunade to allow him to join Team Guy's mission by bribing her with an expensive treat. Naruto and Team Guy encounter Sumaru of Hoshigakure, who guides them past the poison gases that surround the village after demonstrating techniques with strange purple chakra. The Konoha genin meet with the substitute Hoshikage, Akahoshi, who explains Hidden Star's desire to become one of the Five main Hidden Villages. Sumaru expresses his desire to become the first true Hoshikage of Hoshigakure, which intrigues Naruto who rushes off after Sumaru in the direction of the place where the village's star is held. Naruto and Sumaru see someone fleeing from the building containing the star and Naruto runs off in pursuit. Sumaru discovers that the star has been stolen and chases after the thief. The thief manages to escape from Naruto, and it is revealed that the user was using techniques exclusive to those who had star training, meaning they were once a member of the Hoshigakure.

- CJ: "Any last requests?"
- CJ: "You're an asshole to the end. Punk motherfucker!"
- — Carl Johnson and Eddie Pulaski, before the former murders the latter
High Noon is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that is given to protagonist Carl Johnson by the C.R.A.S.H. team from the Ghost Town of Las Brujas in Bone County, San Andreas.
Carl is leaning against a post, waiting for Tenpenny and his colleagues to arrive to retrieve the dossier Carl got earlier. A Police Car approaches and C.R.A.S.H. emerges. Hernandez points a gun at Carl, Pulaski tells him to hand over the dossier. Carl asks if this means they'll leave him alone now. Tenpenny asks Pulaski, who says Carl has done good. Tenpenny then attacks Hernandez with a shovel, accusing him of selling them out to Internal Affairs. Tenpenny then orders Carl to dig the grave, implying that Carl will be digging his own grave as well. Tenpenny then leaves Pulaski alone to supervise Carl.
As Carl digs the grave under the watchful eye of Pulaski, he tries to convince Pulaski that Tenpenny is using all of them, and that Pulaski will be the next to be killed. Pulaski does not believe him, when suddenly Hernandez regains consciousness and tries to attack Pulaski, but he turns around and shoots Hernandez, his body falling into the grave. A little later, Pulaski tries to flee in his Buffalo, but Carl chases him through the desert in a Bandito. During the chase Pulaski taunts Carl, insulting his sister and mother. At the end of the chase Pulaski lies bleeding against his car as Carl approaches and asks him if he has any last requests. Pulaski responds that he wants to have sex with Carl's sister, Kendl. Carl remarks that he is an "asshole to the end" and kills him with a stomp to the head.
Though Pulaski is killed in this mission, he is still described as "believed to be on the run" by a television reporter during coverage of Tenpenny's trial in the mission Riot, implying that his body was not found. One possibility is that Carl buried him in the hole which was originally for Hernandez (the hole was described as "deep enough for two").
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Chase and kill Pulaski
- Jimmy Hernandez - Killed by Eddie Pulaski for trying to save Carl.
- Eddie Pulaski - Killed by Carl for insulting his family and trying to kill him.
There is no monetary reward for this mission, however, the mission Saint Mark's Bistro is unlocked, if the missions Freefall, Green Goo and Madd Dogg are done.
Tips and Tricks
- Although the standard walkthroughs suggest doing drive-bys to knock Pulaski out, perhaps combined with the PIT maneuver, an alternative method of disposing of Pulaski is to get to know his driving pattern when he reaches Fort Carson (he tends to drive around a block a couple of times). Equip Carl with a minigun or Rocket launcher and target Pulaski's Buffalo from down the street.
- The easiest way to beat Pulaski is to equip a Sniper Rifle before you enter the mission, then after Hernandez is killed simply shoot out the tires on Pulaski's car. He won't be able to steer properly and you can take him out in minutes.
- The Buffalo that Pulaski is driving, before he enters it is explosion proof. So after the initial cut scene is over and Ed is running towards it, taking out an RPG and shooting the car will do nothing to it. However, once the chase begins, the Buffalo looses this ability.
- If Pulaski crashes his car into the river west of Fort Carson, the cutscene where CJ kicks him in the head will not play. Pulaski will simply drown and the player will receive a Mission Passed message.
- If you go near Pulaski's Car after the cutscene and shoot Pulaski in sequence of him getting in the car he will drive some distance away and then get out with his hands up so you can get in his car and run him over.
- Pulaski originally drove a Sentinel in this mission.
- If Pulaski's Buffalo blows up during the chase, he will still be leaning on his car as he dies, which is restored to perfect condition. The newly restored vehicle then becomes available for Carl to drive after the mission.
- If Pulaski leaves his vehicle for any reason, he will begin firing at CJ with a Desert Eagle.
- It is unknown how Pulaski's Buffalo appears at Las Brujas, as he arrived in the police car with Frank Tenpenny and Jimmy Hernandez.
- It's uncertain why Pulaski tried to escape from CJ; he killed Hernandez with a gun, and had a perfect opening to kill CJ as well. It is possible that his pistol had only one bullet.
- The title is a reference to the 1952 Western film High Noon.
- The plate of the vehicle Pulaski escapes in has a plate reading "PULASKI".
- In the cutscene where Carl is digging, Pulaski is holding a Colt .45, but when he is killed, he drops a Desert Eagle.
- The shovel used by Tenpenny in the first cutscene is fully wooden, and it is shorter than the one accessible during normal gameplay.
- Even if the Buffalo gets blown up during the chase, Officer Pulaski will survive the explosion and runs away.
- Even if his car gets blown up and he himself "lost his head" in an RPG explosion, once the cut scene begins, Pulaski will always return mortally shot and wounded besides the Buffalo.
