LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville coach Rick Pitino told Kyle Kuric to finally fill up a box score after not shooting enough in the opening month of the season.
The senior forward responded following the pregame pep talk.
Kuric scored 18 points and Gorgui Dieng added 14 points and 12 rebounds to lift No. 5 Louisville to an 80-58 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday - the Cardinals' 17th straight win at the KFC Yum! Center.
"I told him the speech before the game, `I'm tired of you not having an assist, I'm tired of you not having an offensive rebound,"' Pitino said. "He's still not shooting the ball enough. He's got shots and he's not taking them. He's got to shoot the ball more."

Kuric finished with six rebounds, including three on the offensive end, to go with three assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Still, he was frustrated at his 2-for-8 effort from 3-point range.
"I'm trying to do a lot of things. I was just taking what was there," Kuric said. "It wasn't falling today and coach just told me to keep shooting. I just tried to run the floor and get easy baskets."
Peyton Siva had 16 points and nine assists for Louisville, which is in the midst of a 10-game homestand that will get a lot tougher when the Cardinals host No. 21 Memphis next Saturday after finishing final exams this coming week.
Louisville (9-0) used a 10-0 run late in the first half to open up a 19-point advantage at the break and was never threatened in the second half.
George Goode, who played three seasons at Louisville before transferring to pursue a graduate degree, had 17 points and 12 rebounds for FDU (1-8). Melquan Bolding added 23 points for the Knights.
"I just loved it," Goode said. "I enjoyed every minute of it. I would never change it for the world. I was happy to be back."
In addition to Memphis, the Cardinals' upcoming schedule also features meetings with No. 18 Georgetown on Dec. 28 and top-ranked Kentucky on Dec. 31.
"We're happy with the win, now we've got a week to prepare for one of the more athletic teams in the country in Memphis and we still have a lot of improvements to make," Pitino said.
Louisville has already had seven different players sit out games this season with Saturday's absence of reserve guard Russ Smith (neck), but the Cardinals have relied on defense to remain undefeated.
Louisville took a double-digit lead midway through the first half, but there were plenty of teaching points with Pitino's team seeing a variety of zones for the first time.
"I thought the first 10 minutes we attacked the zone really, really well," the coach said. "I think the game was in hand, we just wanted to basically just work on things because we haven't seen too much zone."
Pitino called a timeout after Goode's putback dunk cut Louisville's lead to 27-18 when no one blocked out their former teammate, but Dieng grabbed an offensive rebound after the sideline chat and scored to spark a 10-0 run that made the margin 19 points with 2:39 left in the first half.
FDU, which has lost 19 of its last 20 on the road and was picked to finish last in the Northeast Conference, never came closer than 16 the rest of the way.
Siva, Elisha Justice, Mike Marra, Stephan Van Treese, Wayne Blackshear and Rakeem Buckles have all missed at least one game this season because of injury. Buckles returned from right knee surgery after missing nearly 10 months in a 90-60 victory over IUPUI on Wednesday, but he did not play against the Knights.
Goode, a role player at Louisville who received a degree in communications before leaving for the Knights, got a loud ovation during pregame and shook Pitino's hand after being introduced. He also scored the game's first points with a dunk, but FDU's lead would be short-lived.
Siva answered with two layups and Louisville never trailed the rest of the way thanks to Kuric's big effort.
"Kyle is always there," Siva said. "He's going to do a little bit of everything for us."

Blood viscosity
The internal resistance of the blood to shear forces. The in vitro measure of whole blood viscosity is of limited clinical utility because it bears little relationship to the actual viscosity within the circulation, but an increase in the viscosity of circulating blood can contribute to morbidity in patients suffering from disorders such as sickle cell anaemia and polycythemia.

Martin Scorsese Producing Grateful Dead Documentary for Band's 50th Anniversary
The Grateful Dead will celebrate their 50th anniversary next year, and they're marking the occasion with a film executive produced by Martin Scorsese and billed as "their first official career-spanning documentary."
Directed by documentarian Amir Bar-Lev, whose previous credits include 'Happy Valley' and 'The Tillman Story,' the as-yet untitled feature is currently in production, and promises what a press release describes as "a cornucopia of never before seen performance footage, vintage interviews and other candid moments unearthed from the Grateful Dead's vast vaults along with newly captured conversations with surviving members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, as well as many other characters and pranksters from the Dead universe."
"Millions of stories have been told about the Grateful Dead over the years," enthused Hart, Kreutzmann, Lesh, and Weir in a statement. "With our 50th Anniversary coming up, we thought it might just be time to tell one ourselves and Amir is the perfect guy to help us do it. Needless to say, we are humbled to be collaborating with Martin Scorsese. From 'The Last Waltz' to 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World,' from Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones, he has made some of the greatest music documentaries ever with some of our favorite artists, and we are honored to have him involved. The 50th will be another monumental milestone to celebrate with our fans and we cannot wait to share this film with them."
Bar-Lev, for his part, says he's been trying to get this movie made for a full decade, and Scorsese vowed to deliver a viewing experience that will tell the group's story while satisfying longtime fans, saying, "The Grateful Dead were more than just a band. They were their own planet, populated by millions of devoted fans. I'm very happy that this picture is being made and proud to be involved."

I about fell to my knees and flung my arms skyward, screaming "Thanks, Michael!" when I read the following words in the Associated Press report out of Toronto last night:
In the second set, Llodra tried to put off Federer with a rare underhand serve."It's the first time I got an underarm serve," Federer said with a laugh. "The third time somebody asked me for the shirt [Llodra asked The Mighty Fed for his shirt after the match, a souvenir to give to his kids]."
Llodra put spin on it, causing the ball to go sideways when it hit the court. Federer seemed ready to swat a forehand winner but instead barely got his racket on the ball, sending it well wide.
"I just wanted to make something special," Llodra said.
It's funny, but my to-do (I should say "to-write") list contains an item about rekindling my long, lonely crusade on behalf of the underhand serve. Those of you who have read this blog regularly over the years know I've posted on this subject before. The underhand serve is the great, unexploited stroke in tennis. The pros eschew it only out of allegiance to convention, which somehow dictates that serving underhand is unsporting unless you have no other option.
I always thought that an odd, suspiciously Victorian prejudice. If the underhand serve is unsporting, so is the drop shot. They're one and the same thing, and both can or could make the game richer. Imagine Andy Roddick throwing in a sliced underhand serve when his opponent at Wimbledon is lined up to receive serve somewhere in Brighton.
Imagine Roger Federer hitting an exquisite, feathery, underhand serve while set point down against Rafael Nadal. Given that the serve is the only stroke over which the ball striker has complete control (that is, he's not having to react and/or adjust to anything his opponent has done), any pro could develop a deadly underhand serve to compliment his standard delivery with a modest amount of practice.
Part of the prejudice against the underhand serve is that it's perceived as "unmanly." It's a shot for weenies. Well, you know progressive, enlightened me. Not only do I think that's a bunch of hooey, it also represents an opportunity to make the game richer.
And here's another thing. How much longer must we wait before we got a few top players who hit only forehands? Let's face it, there's no shot quite as devastating as the forehand, not even the (highly overrated) Richard Gasquet or David Nalbandian backhand. Monica Seles and former world No. 4 Gene Mayer (that's him in the photo below, alongside Mansour Bahrami) each hit with two hands off both wings. But using two hands cuts down reach, makes retrieving short and/or low balls more awkward, and requires more effort and movement of the torso. Just visualize Nadal, easily slipping the racket from one hand to the other to hit forehands.
There have been a few players who used two forehands through the years but none recently (can any of you old-schoolers help me out with the names?). There may well be some neurological or bio-mechanical explanation for who there haven't been more double-forehands at the international level, perhaps even psychological reasons. But I'm unaware of them. At the very least, any ambidextrous youngster should be able to develop two forehands.
One impediment to this development might be the age at which players are taught the game. Most of the tour level players begin playing when a lack of strength mandates using two hands on the racket (hence, Seles and Mayer, among others). As I understand it, the extra hand comes off on the forehand side as the player gains strength, even if it remains on the weak (backhand) side.
I do think that if we get a player with two forehands, it might add a new tradition and dimension to the game. Remember, while Chris Evert, Jimmy Connors and Bjorn Borg were not the first players to use the two-handed backhand, their influence helped make it the dominant backhand (by far) in the new century. And that was indeed a change.
Well, that's it for me for today. Please keep your comments here on topic, and use the previous post for Cincinnati and Toronto match-calling. Plus, Jackie-Oh! will be back soon with a Deuce Club post, live from Toronto. I'll be on vacation next week, and out of touch over the first few days, but I should be back by Thursday. Bobby Chintapalli, who's been working on some stuff for TENNIS magazine in Cincinnati, is also going to return with some further thoughts. So there will be plenty to talk about.
Stick around.

Submitted by: Rich
This is a copy of a letter written in the 1970's containing information from years before that given to his children. The last of these children is still alive (in her nineties and I have received permission to send this - again in the sense that this is history that should be share, especially for the family but a for all from that area as it being a description of the way life was lived in the area a hundred years ago. The original composer and compiler is James Royl Rainey, the youngest son of Dewie Henry Rainey.
"DEWIE HENRY RAINEY of CASS COUNTY TEXAS"
Dewie Henry Rainey was born near Bryans Mill, Cass Co. TX 11 June 1883. He was the son of Stephen Ridgley and Precious Jo Mannie Rainey. When Henry was about 13 or 14 years old, the family moved to a farm near Cusetta in Cass Co. This land was mostly woodland and he and his brother Cliff cleared it for farming. As a teenager he played baseball for the Cusetta team. Some of the team members were George and Ray Fulchur, Roy Bryant, John Culpepper, and Henry's brother Cliff. Henry had only four years of formal education but in many areas he was self-educated. The few years that he attended school was at the White Sulphur Springs School near Cusetta.
Henry married Caroline Channell on 29 Dec. 1904 near Douglasville TX. Henry and Carrie lived in the Cussetta area the first few years of their marriage. Virginia Opal, their oldest child, was born 24 April 1906 in the house Henry lived in when he first moved to Cusetta. Their next two children, Anna and Carrie Vernessa, were born near Munz, a small town three miles north of Cusetta. Munz was at the southern end of a narrow gauge railroad that ran northeast to Maud. This railroad was in existence for only a few years and was used to transport saw logs across the Sulphur River to a mill near Maud in Bowie Co. Munz was located a short distance nor of Texas State Hwy 77 near the intersection of Farm Road 994. Henry had bought a small farm of about twenty acres west of Munz. He owned and operated a small grocery store in Munz for a short period of time.
Henry purchased a farm from Charlie King in the latter part of 1912. This farm was located about one and a half miles east of Munz on what is now State Hwy 77. Henry had his family moved to this farm 1 January 1913. The remainder of their children were born in their farm house on this farm: Marguerite Evelyn, Dewie Henry Jr., Mary Leslie and James Royl. Henry farmed this land until his death on 10 Jan 1956.
Henry and Carrie were active members of the Union Chapel Methodist Church. Henry was a master mason and Carrie a member of the Eastern Star. Henry was a Notary, working with many oil and gas company landmen. Also he did a lot of timber estimating for Lumber Mills. He was very knowledgeable in ownership of lands in northwest Cass Co. both present and past.
The Rainey home was gathering place for family and friends for may years. They were very caring and always tried to help anyone in need.
Henry died 10 January 1956 in Linden, TX. and is buried in Union Chapel Cemetery, Cass Co., TX.
Caroline Channell was born 6 Mar 1885 in their home four miles west of Douglasville, TX. She was the daughter of James Turner and Caroline Sefronia Channell. Her mother died soon after she was born and her father died when she was eleven years old. She was reared mostly by her Aunt Tump Findley and sister Anna Robertson.
Carrie attended school at the Black and Powell school near Sulphur River and at Cedar Grove. Her sister taught at both of these schools. They either rode in a buggy or rode side saddle on a horse to school. Carrie delighted in playing the piano and would practice for hours. Her oldest brother, George, loaned her the money to buy her first piano. She had a cotton patch the following year and made enough money to pay George's loan. Carrie gave private piano lessons to several students. One of them was a Miss Tate who lived in the O'Ferrell Community in Cass County.
After her marriage Carrie spent the remaining years of her life being a very loving, caring and dear Mother to her children, grand children and great-grandchildren. Carrie had a lot of "get up and go" about her and always was fun to be around. The young people of the area had many dances and parties in her home. Carrie moved to Longview to live with her daughter, Opal, after Henry's death. She was ill the last several years of her life. She died in Longview TX, 17 Nov. 1967.

Mariachi in LA
Among the many things I loved in my time living in LA was driving by MacArthur Park, and no not really just because of Jimmy Webb. I spent a lot of time at the downtown library, and would drive past MacArthur Park on my leisurely way home, always stopping to watch some goings on in the heavily used public space sitting among gorgeous 1930s highrise apartments decked with multi-story neon signs.

|Well, you may not have intended to offend, but you have. Why is there such a misconception regarding Catholicism as a Christian denomination? Where do you think the other denominations of Christianity derived from? Why are subtle forms of Catholic-bashing allowed. Catholics are Christians, sorry if that bothers you, but it is an inescapable fact. I'm just as much of a Christian as a Lutheran, a Baptist, or a Methodist. If anything, that article just points out what some Catholics believe. It certainly doesn't make them less Christian than anyone else.
|Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
"The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true.
"The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect "total accuracy" from the Bible.
"We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision," they say in The Gift of Scripture.
|I mean no disrespect, honestly, I don't. However, you made the conscious choice to leave the religion in which you were raised and then made a choice to read the Bible from cover to cover. That is the choice you made. You can take it literally if you so choose. I choose not to take it literally, and that does not mean that I don't believe in Christ. However, I could not fathom (as I am a teacher myself) the amount of arrogance that it would take, to suggest that any of my Muslim or Hindi students (which make up a great number of my students mixed with Christian students) read the Bible. If it were me, I'd be beyond insulted that someone else's religious viewpoint was being shoved down my throat, even as a suggestion. If they wanted to read it on their own, fine. However, I wouldn't want to be the one suggesting that my beliefs were more valid than theirs, just as much as I'd dislike it if they suggested that their beliefs were more valid than mine.
As for the Bible shaping our culture and society, yes, I do agree that there are some codes of conduct that everyone, in our societies, abide by; treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. This is in no way a Christian-only thought. It is the basic golden rule.
Not everyone in our society has the faith of a particular religion. Not everyone is religious. Some people are atheists or agnostics. Are they not part of our society? Why should they have to be forced, or have it suggested to them, that they need to read the Bible. I am not an American, but have enough US history to understand that your founding fathers separated from England to get away from religious persecution, so as not to have the Church of England dictate how, when, or why someone should worship. Separation of church and state, anyone?
Did you ever stop to consider that your hs English teacher suggested you read the Bible as a piece of literature (historical document, if you will), and not as literal fact?

From a Christian pov (at least the one I was taught while in the church), the "OT" is null and void, and an outdated piece of writings which show a different G-d than the one portrayed in the "NT." Why did the early church "fathers" choose to keep the Tanakh (more or less) as part of their religion's holy writings if they really didn't use it for anything in terms of teaching the Jesus story?
|Actually, the OT is not null and void.
There are many different denominations among Christianity and I cannot speak for all of them, so for those Christians who disagree with me, I am just giving the Christian point of view that I have learned and believe.
|The reason the Old Testament is part of the entire Bible that is used in Christianity is that Christianity is an offshoot from Judaism and the Old Testament and New Testament all together form the Bible. The Old Testament is the background for the New Testament and it contains predictions of Christ and the New Testament quotes the Old Testament in many places. In order to understand the New Testament, you need to read and understand the Old Testament. The New Testament is not complete without the Old Testament. Together they are all God's revelation.
According to the Christian religion, Jesus is God, the same God that is in the Old Testament. Christians believe that there is only one God and He is triune - three/one - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but still only one God, and He is the same God of the Old Testament.

|I've also been in a messianic church that tried to keep the "OT" as Jewish believers. From my personal experiences, there is quite a division between the two churches. By stating that most of what I've been taught involved the "OT" being "null and void" meant that most every Christian church believes that the "Old" Covenant is gone and the "New" is now in place.
|Again, it depends on who you ask as to if they agree with this. The first thing that began my leaving of Christianity was actually researching the "OT" mentions of Jesus and really studying these supposed prophecies. There is another whole school of thought when it comes to things like the "virgin birth", the prediction of the death on the cross, as well as things like human/vicarious sacrifice.
|From a Jewish perspective, Jesus could not be G-d; that would be polytheistic in belief. (As well, the belief of a trinity is polytheistic.)
|But, back to my original question, which I'm still wondering about ... most churches do not believe that the covenant laid forth in the "OT" is in place today; most believe they have replaced Israel as G-d's chose people. Some don't believe that per se, but do believe that G-d has different dispensations for different sets of people in different sets of time. No matter how you see it, I'd argue that 99% of the Christians in the world (all-emcompassing; I'm not into leaving out people who believe in Christ from that definition) do not believe the need to adhere to the "OT." Heck, there are even some denominations out there that consider themselves "NT" churches.
|Which, in a way, begs my question:
What was it that the church fathers (what basically began the Catholic church [or Orthodox, depending on who's view of the Great Scism ? you believe]) saw in the "OT" to keep it as part of their cannon.
|The "OT" is VERY different in many ways from the "NT" - it preaches to a different set of people a different set of rules for a different set of times.
|Most churches don't see any validity in the rules of kosher, for instance, nor do they keep the Sabbath of the "OT" or the Feasts of G-d. So, if 90-99% of the book, as a whole, is defunct according to Christian theology, why did it become part of the Christian cannon? Wouldn't it have been easier to maybe include a new book written about the basic Creation story, and then gone right into the "NT"? It would have made it much easier than constantly trying to explain why things were in there that contradicted the new message of the "NT".

|Would you like to see an improvement of some kind--aesthetic, navigational, functional, or content-wise? Now is the time to be heard! I am devoting most of the next 6 weeks to providing an overhaul of Early Jewish Writings. And I want to hear any suggestions about what you want, big or small. Please think about how you use the site, how that could be better, and what use you could get out of it that isn't even there now. Basically, your wish is my command.

|Information on Pseudo-Hecataeus
Martin McNamara writes: "In his treatise Against Apion (1.22 §§183-205 and elsewhere) Josephus gives a number of excerpts on Jewish history from a work he attributes to Hecataeus of Abdera—a well-known pagan Greek historian of the late fourth-early third century B.C. Modern scholarship is divided as to whether the excerpts are derived from the pagan writer Hecataeus or rather from a Jewish writer, presumably pseudonymous. The passages cited by Josephus, and the contents of the work as given by him, show such an acquaintance with Jewish affairs that the work may well be from the pen of Jew rather than of a pagan, the work may even have been composed by a Jerusalem priest who became a soldier and joined the army of Alexander the Great as it marched towards the Red Sea. A date of about 300 B.C. would suit for the composition of this work on the history of the Jews. Together with the excerpts given by Josephus in Against Apion 1.22 §§183-205, there may also be an excerpt from it in the same work 1.7.23 §§213-215 and also in The Letter of Aristeas 83-120." (Intertestamental Literature, p. 213)
|Haphazard Canonization and Textual Difficulties
Many Christians have a very vague idea about how this collection was achieved. Even then it is probably filled with belief that the method of collection was miraculously inspired...the "canon of the Bible" ...sacred writings or the word of God to the exclusion of all other books... [Christians believe]Either a book is inspired by God or it is not...The uninitiated would naturally and common-sensically expect these "inspired" books to be somehow so different from those rejected that it would be an easy matter to separate them... The truth of the matter... is very different.
Old Testament:
* The Jewish OT canon, finalized at the end of the first century CE, was based on, among other things, the mistaken attribution of authorship, political considerations and haphazard selections of the "authoritative" textual versions.
* The Christian OT canon is similarly confused,...various denominations unable to agree on even which books are inspired!
* Some canonical New Testament books even refer to books not in the Old Testament Canon as though they are authoritative scripture.
New Testament canonization:
* ...transmission of New Testament...became more and more corrupted as time goes on...
* The canonization process was a hodgepodge of mistaken authorship attribution, faulty logic and the politics of heresy...
[Bible as a whole]

While many OEMs are pursuing hybrid or fully electric powertrains, and while diesels seem to have taken the proverbial backseat to even downsized, turbocharged engines, like the operational workhorses they are, diesels keep soldiering on.
That will be all the more apparent this week at the LA Auto Show, where Audi is introducing four new diesel-powered vehicles, all of which will be available in the U.S. market by the fall of 2013.
These "TDI clean diesels" are said to provide 30% better fuel economy and 30% fewer carbon dioxide emissions than their gasoline powered versions.
The engine in question is a 3.0-liter V6 diesel, which will be used for the A8, A7, A6, and Q5. The Q7 is already available with a diesel.
So what does this diesel mean in, say, the A8 TDI? It offers 240 hp, 406 lb-ft of torque, and 24 mpg city/36 mpg highway. It allows the A8 to go from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.
Or take the diesel in the Q7 SUV. There it provides 19 mpg city/28 mpg highway and because the vehicle is equipped with a 26.4-gallon fuel tank, it is possible to go on a road trip of more than 700 miles without having to stop for fuel. Of course, you may not be able to hold off that long for beef jerky, but. . . .

The thing is that I find a clickable PDF or Visio to be rather time
expensive in comparison to whiteboards and paper :-)
- First off, I'd just like to say I love reading all the opinions out there as I'm on an island here...So have we reached violent agreement yet? :DConsidering there are myriad ways to present wireframes and flows...whatever works for you, well, works for you. So far, at this place I'm at, user studies done with Flex/Flash based prototypes that look close to a branded/finished product have worked very well. The feedback has been excellent and it seems quicker to me to get the users focused and into the scenarios. That said, and again for me, the paper wireframes have been better at getting business requirements on the table with Stakeholders and other internal partners as they get hung up on the interface of the prototypes too much. The nice thing about alternatives is you can try them all...We all did get a good laugh out of the Flex "paper" skin Frédéric Monjo mentioned: http://fleksray.org/skins/edding/Edding.html and actually might try it out.And if a Stakeholder asks "Is this what we're getting?"

I think we're getting back to what Brian Weiss mentioned at
the beginning of this thread : having hi-fi prototypes too often
leads to stakeholders pointing to differences and details in
production work.
So this leads me to some other question ?
What does prevent user experience testing to be conducted with
paper prototypes (+ trend boards + visual identity sketches) ?
My own opinion : not much.If you're doing a highly interactive site with a lot of rich interactions, you're missing a whole lot. If you're just doing a standard Web page where you click from page to page, then you wouldn't be missing much.Interactive (notice how I didn't say "high fidelity"... I'll get to that in a bit) prototypes yield much more accurate information in user testing of Web sites that rely on rich interactions. Why? Well, it's all about context. Paper is NOT the context rich interactions are meant for, and people will correspondingly be confused. For simple Web sites, it's close enough. If you really want to know whether a rich interaction is usable or not, it needs to be in an interactive format if you want to get reliable, actionable data from user testing.Responding to your musings about hi-fi prototypes.. . I think that fidelity is only *one* aspect of a prototype. *Interactivity* is the other. You can have a lo-fi interactive prototype, which is typically what Axure produces... essentially interactive wireframes. You can also have hi-fi prototypes that are low on interaction, such as printed JPGs. In my experience, I've found that stakeholders respond to lo-fi interactive prototypes pretty much as they do wireframes. I have been in some situations, however, where the interactivity was communicated much more effectively than in wireframes, which led to constructive feedback from stakeholders *pre* development.- Fred

A film festival which started in Harrow celebrates its 15th anniversary and 100 years of Asian cinema next month.
Tongues on Fire is a ten day event showcasing South Asian films started by Pinner psychiatrist Dr Pushpinder Chowdhry.
The not-for-profit organisation, which is staffed entirely by volunteers, was originally founded as a women's film festival in the borough but has spread across London.
This year will celebrate women both in front of the cameras and behind them.
It will also celebrate the first time an Asian film appeared on screen in 1913.
The event begins on March 7 at the British Film Institute on the Southbank in London.
Two films, Valley of Saints and Snow, will be screened at the Harrow Arts Centre for free on March 8 and 9, respectively.

I'm having damon braces since September 2012, I have quite crowded teeth before, and my dentist said I don't need teeth extractions for this.

Ireland Baldwin reveals anxiety struggle
Ireland Baldwin has thanked everyone who's helped her feel "like Ireland again".
The 19-year-old daughter of actor Alec Baldwin and fashion star Kim Basinger checked into the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu, California, in April, seeking help for "emotional trauma".
Now she has shared an emotional post with her Instagram followers, opening up about her feelings and how she is overcoming her personal troubles.
"There are so many moments I have taken for granted in this life due to my lack of presence. I have overlooked countless blessings and opportunities to start fresh, and I have neglected, manipulated, and lied to the people I hold dear to my heart, but more importantly, to myself," she wrote.
"It hasn't been until recent months that I relearned what it truly means and what it feels like to be fully present. For the longest time, I lost compassion towards almost everything i previously cared for and I was so lost in darkness, that I could hardly hold a real conversation with another human being long enough before I was due to have an anxiety attack and find my way out of it. (sic)"
The model added that she now feels incredibly lucky to have been given the chance to "begin again". Finally, Ireland feels she has the strength to look at things in a positive light.
"I'm proud to say I will not be knocked down and alone next time around. I have never been so supported and felt so loved in my life. I'm happy to say I feel like Ireland again and it's amazing that I can actually say that because it's been a really long time and I was starting to forget what she was like. (sic)," she continued.
In early April, Ireland was rushed to hospital with appendicitis and she checked into rehab later that month.

No-one really wants to think about their own death, which is why many people fail to make a will:
and experts estimate that about 60% of Scots have not written a will.
Loading article content
But if you die without making a legally valid will, your loved ones could end up with nothing.
Will Aid, which runs throughout November, is a good opportunity to write a will as a participating solicitor will waive its usual fee and the money will instead be donated to the nine Will Aid charities.
You can find out more about the scheme, as well as the solicitors involved, at www.willaid.org.uk.
Allan Crocker, a partner at Scottish solicitors Lindsays, says: "A will allows you to appoint an executor and to create clarity and certainty for your surviving relatives and friends.
"There can be horrific legal and emotional complications if you die intestate, which can be very distressing for the survivors."
If you die without a will, the laws of intestacy will determine who gets what.
A surviving spouse, for example, would have so-called prior rights on the matrimonial home, its contents and any cash, up to a certain value.
If the estate is modest, it is not uncommon for the prior rights to exhaust the funds, so any children would get nothing. It's also wise to bear in mind that a spouse includes a civil partner, but not a cohabitant.
James Brogan, senior solicitor at Russel + Aitken says: "The laws of intestacy can be quite brutal. For example, a cohabitant has no automatic rights to your estate, even if you have been together for many years.
"In other words, your home, its contents and any other assets could go to some distant relative in a far flung corner of the world."
A cohabitant can make a claim through the courts, but it must be initiated within six months of the date of death.
Brogan says: "Modern families can be quite complex, which makes a will all the more important. If you have been married more than once, have children from a previous relationship, or if you live together but are not married, a will is essential."
A will allows you to clearly set out who you want to benefit from your estate. Perhaps you would like to leave your property to your children, or some money to your nieces and nephews. If you have young children, you can also nominate in your will a legal guardian in case you die before they have grown up.
The age of inheritance is Scotland is 16, so you might want also want to set up some kind of trust so that your children cannot get their hands on any money until they are 18 or even 21. You will need to appoint an executor who will sort out your estate when you die, so it's important to name someone you can trust with the responsibility.
The executor can be a beneficiary, but does not have to be your next of kin. If no executor is appointed, then an application must be made to the court, which can be costly and time consuming.
Your will should be signed in front of a witness, who must be totally independent.
Unlike executors, witnesses cannot be beneficiaries of the will. You should then keep your will safe - and tell you executor where it is stored.
Experts recommend that you review your will at least every five years. Crocker says: "It's important to keep a will up to date.
"You might want to make changes if, for example, one of your main beneficiaries dies, or if there is a change in your financial or personal circumstances, perhaps if you have children or buy another property."
It is perfectly legal to write your own will, but most people prefer to seek professional advice, particularly if their affairs are not straightforward.
A solicitor should also be able to help you mitigate any liability for inheritance tax. Many people these days also want advice on how to minimise future care costs.

Edward Dauer
November 13, 2013
Edward Dauer passed away peacefully from a brief and brave battle with liver cancer on Oct. 27, 2013, with his wife of 40 years by his side and just minutes after his daughter kissed her father goodbye.
His family will honor his wishes by having a private memorial in the late summer for family and close friends.
Edward was known by his family and friends as Ed. He was born in San Francisco on Jan. 27, 1950, to Edward and Velta Dauer. He met and married the love of his life, Pennye, in 1973. Ed worked in Sacramento at the Sacramento Depot and later joined the local 185 Labors Union. He retired in 1999 after 30 years of service.
Ed loved his family, his only daughter, grandchildren, camping in the mountains, riding dirt bikes, working on his house and pouring concrete.
Ed will be truly missed by all who knew him — his family, friends and neighbors. His family would like to extend a very special thank you to Dr. Galen Martin and nurse, Oxsana, for being so wonderful to Ed, not only as his doctor and nurse but as caring people.
Ed is survived by his wife, Pennye; daughter, Teresa (Sam); grandchildren Autumn, Sayer and Kale Turnage; nephews Tom Stanton Sr. (Deb), Tom Stanton Jr. (Tiffany); niece, Cassie Fucci; sister and brother-in-law, Peggy and Bill Fain; numerous other nieces and nephews; and two half-sisters.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Madline.
Arrangements are under the direction of Hooper & Weaver Mortuary.
Ed will truly be missed by all that knew him. He was a wonderful man. Rest in peace, my love.

Latest Stage:
Finally, after three years of research and public consultation throughout the parish, the Neighbourhood Development Plan has reached the Referendum stage ...
All parishioners are invited to vote on the proposed Plan on 18th May and, for this purpose, Herefordshire Council will be manning an official Polling Station in The Plough Inn from 8am - 10pm.
Previously all parish households received an envelope containing a variety of documents prepared by the NDP Group in cahoots with our appointed Planning Consultant, Claire Rawlings. These documents advised of all relevant findings and decisions throughout the past three years in the form of the 'Draft Plan' etc and a Comments Form was included for feedback from the community.
Please, please, please find a few minutes to visit the polling station on 18th May and vote on the proposed plan ... your votes are vital to the future protection and enhancement of our parish.
THE Neighbourhood Development Plan 'CONSULTATION DOCUMENTS' CAN BE FOUND ON THE 'PUBLIC DOCUMENTS' PAGE UNDER 'NDPC'
An Important Note from the NDP Chairman - 15 March 2016:
"Dear resident
Our Neighbourhood Development Plan will help set planning policies for the Parish of Little Dewchurch until 2031. When adopted, the Plan will be part of the statutory planning framework which will help guide future development. This draft Plan has been produced over recent months by a Steering Group, a sub-committee, of the Parish Council, consisting of councillors and other residents, following consultation events and activities with residents in 2014 and 2015.
The draft is published for public consultation, which runs from 28th March 2016. A copy is being provided to every household in the Parish so that every resident can read it and has the opportunity to comment on it. Copies are also being provided to neighbouring Parishes and as required to other key Stakeholders.
The costs of developing the Plan to date and producing the copies of it for the consultation have been met entirely from grants obtained by the Parish Council.
We want to hear your views on the draft Plan before it is submitted for examination by an independent Inspector. After this, there will be a referendum of all electors of the Parish to decide whether the Plan should be adopted.
Comments should be sent in writing, and should include the name and address of the person making the comments. As this is a statutory consultation, all comments submitted will be available publicly. A form is available for comments, which is enclosed and is also available on the website.
All comments must be received by 5pm on 16th May 2016.
Our community faces many challenges and opportunities in common with other rural communities in Herefordshire. This Plan sets a Vision for our community, Little Dewchurch, to address these issues and sets out planning policies for sustainable development in our neighbourhood. The policies have evolved from the Questionnaires sent to you and the Feedback Briefing meetings that you have attended. They are of course more detailed than the outline proposals, and some changes have been made in order to have clear and feasible planning policies. Also, following the public inspection of the Herefordshire Core Strategy in February 2015, a number of modifications had to be made to that document, including to rural housing policies, which have had a knock-on effect for our Neighbourhood Plan. 2
One of the changes is the proposal to extend the defined settlement boundary for the Little Dewchurch Village, as this has been found to be the most unambiguous way of defining where housing will be permitted, and this is now the preferred approach in the Herefordshire Core Strategy. Another change has been the indicative target for the number of new homes, which has been increased for all rural communities in Herefordshire in order to meet the stated overall housing growth target. Our target is now based on a proportion of all homes in the Parish – not just targets for the village– so all housing development throughout the Parish will contribute to meeting it.
Although this draft Neighbourhood Plan is a fairly lengthy and detailed document, please will you read through it and think about any comments you may wish to make. It is perhaps the most important document for our neighbourhood in a generation.On behalf of the NDP Steering Group and the Parish Council"
Background to the NDP:
In 2011 Little Dewchurch was identified by the Government as one of the many rural parishes "suitable for development" in order to meet the new housing needs throughout the UK. As such the Parish Council was told that areas suitable for housing development within the parish must be identified in order to meet the required development criteria (an additional 18% of the existing 2011 parish housing, which equates to 26 houses) and a Plan should be drawn up to demonstrate the democratic opinion of parishioners which should show not only how the requisite new houses should be designed and where they should be built, but also to identify an specific areas parishioners felt should be preserved and not developed.
In 2011 a small development of 10 houses (The Furrows) was built near The Plough Inn and these formed part of the requisite 18%, thus reducing the development need in the parish to 16 houses.
In order to carry out detailed studies, consultations with parishioners, analysis of opinions, site considerations & surveys, etc a Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group was formed under the auspices of the Parish Council and a professional Planning consultant was appointed to advise the Group and develop the Plan.
The existing residential boundary of the village centre is already full to capacity with no room for infill, therefore, following the issue of a questionnaire in 2014 to every parishioner over the age of 16, the professionally and independently analysed responses showed several potential sites for development bordering the residential boundary and these sites are currently under consideration by the NDP Group and its planning consultant.
There is a guide to affordable housing for parish councils available from Herefordshire Council
The map below shows the development boundary within Little Dewchurch
(Three new affordable houses have now been built as part of the 10 house development at The Plough Inn (The Furrows) rented out via Homepoint but with priority to those with a strong local connection).

TARZANA, Calif. -Lea Garner shot a combined 13-over-par during the opening two rounds of the Bruin Wave Invitational to lead BYU to a 13th place standing on Monday.
BYU shot an opening round 320 (+32), followed by a second round 326 (+38) to finish the day at 70-over-par. The Cougars currently stand nine strokes behind 12th place Denver (+61) and have a 12 stroke advantage on 14th place Hawaii (+82).
Garner led all Cougars on the day going five-over-par in the first round to shoot a 77 and eight-over-par in the second round to shoot an 80. She currently stands tied for 29th place.
"Lea's solid," BYU head coach Carrie Roberts said. "She's a straight ball hitter, so she doesn't really put herself into many hard spots. It's a hard golf course. We've been playing a lot of hard golf courses this semester."
Sophomore Lauren Atkinson also had a strong day for the Cougars. Atkinson converted 12 pars and one birdie during the second round to finish with a six-over-par 78. She finished the opening two rounds at 16-over-par tied for 43rd.
Senior Amanda Keith finished close behind Atkinson shooting a first round 81 (+9) followed by a second round 80 (+8). Keith is currently tied for 47th place at 17-over-par.
The Cougars resume play Tuesday at El Caballero Country Club with tee times set to start at 7:30 a.m. PST. Follow Tuesday's third and final round on golfstat.com.

DAYS and weeks can be given to Desert View without exhausting the scene or the interest. You are away from the hotel and the crowd, and can see things like a lone eagle from your point of rock. Both the rock and the eagle are here (an eagle usually has a nest every summer not five hundred yards to the east of Desert View), so the allusion is not forced. If you watch the eagle you will see that she does her coming and going early in the morning and late in the evening, and, if you follow her example, you, too, will go out to your point of rock at dawn and at sunset.
Perhaps you will have noticed, as at Lincoln Point, that the Canyon here is happily disposed for morning and evening . effects because it runs practically east and west, and the light strikes not so much across it as along its length. The sun comes up over the Painted Desert and drives its golden shafts down the Canyon for sixty miles or more; at evening the reddened beams drive back through the Canyon upon the mesas and ridges of this same Painted Desert. If there is anything unusual, any special spread of splendor coming from that
"Nebulous star we call the sun,"
you are sure to see it here.
The first gray half-light of the dawn has no effect on the Canyon. It is only when it turns pale yellow and begins to creep around the horizon that faint reflections appear upon the eastern faces of the Kaibab and Coconino. Often the light from be-low the verge at first strikes high up on the zenith, making a white spot on the blue that in turn illumines the depth; and, often again, feathery cirrus clouds up there will catch the light and begin to redden, casting down pale pinks upon the walls below. As the light increases in the east the color brightens from silver and rose to pink and perhaps carmine. The face-walls make answer in grays, then silvers, then saffrons creeping into orange, followed by roses and heliotropes. They are wonderfully delicate colors.
One by one the tops of the buttes and points and promontories take up and carry on the light far down the Canyon. First one glows and shifts into a bright garb, and then another farther on repeats the litany of color. As the light increases, the color spreads down the walls from the high points. The local hue of the strata begins to come out, the purples of the depth awaken, the shadows turn ultra-marine, the air becomes gray-blue, or sometimes pink over purple.
The reflected lights from sky and cloud arouse the Canyon to its inner depths. There is a shaking off of the night gloom, and if the sky in the east is a broad band of orange or fiery with red clouds, the reflecting walls will show very lively hues. When the sun itself comes over the horizon there is instant focussing of high lights on the rocky points and the forming of blue shadows behind every interposing tree, ridge, butte, and promontory. The change is swift and positive.
With the coming of the sun you can almost make yourself believe there is a faint music of the elements, or at least a trailing of wings. But no.
"Not with the roll of thunder drums, But softly, soundless, as beseems The alchemist of color dreams, The Sun God comes."
The light falls on the Kaibab faces and changes them to light gold or warm orange, Wotan's Throne reddens, the tips of the buttes turn pink; but there is no sound to warn you of the change. Nor is there any permanence in the change. The colors shift and go, and as the sun lifts higher in the sky you notice that, while the local color is more pronounced, the reflected colors from the sky and cloud seem to grow fainter and duller. The splendor of the dawn soon goes out before the more commonplace color of the morning.
For as the sun continues to rise, the Canyon begins to lose not only in hue but in definiteness. This has already been alluded to in connection with the abnormal appearance of the buttes at noonday. The sun high in the heavens plays havoc with lines and surfaces. Planes begin to shut up bellows-like and perspective collapses. Drawing, too, fails. Objects do not project or recede, or give a sense of bulk or weight, but seem continuous or superimposed, one upon another. The long promontories running out from the Rim not only lose their thickness and resemble stage screens, but they lose their relative position. After nine o'clock in the morning even the isolated buttes do not seem isolated. The overhead light reflects rather than illumines, distorts the normal appearance, and makes every-thing uncertain, illusory, indefinite. A haze envelops the Canyon and a beautiful blur is upon it; but the effect is disappointing to those who would see the reality. You must turn to other things until the depth comes back to itself in the Iate afternoon.
The midday period is occasionally varied by flying cloud-shadows that chase each other across the platforms, or by sunbursts that fling down their search-lights into the Canyon, revealing hidden depths and dormant colors. Rain, of course, veils everything. Even the thunder-storms that let down trailing fringes of rainlet them down ten thousand feetshut out the view temporarily. But they also often bring out the profiles of the buttes in relief and reveal their fine lines with great effect. In fact, one does not know what forceful contours these buttes and promontories possess until he sees them with a rain-veil behind them. They then begin to resemble sierra ridges in their outline drawing.
Often, again, after the rain has passed, the hot rocks will steam and the sunlight will flash on wet pinnacles with a glittering effect which, shown in relief against deep-blue shadows, and in connection perhaps with a rainbow and dark passing clouds, is very picturesque. The rainbow at the Canyon happens quite easily, and sometimes apparently without rain. I have already mentioned the appearance at noontime of the spectrum colors, waving like a flag, in the cirrus directly overhead. And with no other clouds in sight. It is a very strange phenomenon.
During the long summer afternoon the Canyon seems to doze in the sunlight. It has a blue-gray color without accent, tone, or quality. The tourist may think it wonderful but the artist knows its monotony. At five o'clock, however, a change be-gins to take place. The Canyon colors begin to revive faintly, the blue shadows draw a little behind buttes and promontories, the ledges and platforms and pinnacles begin to lengthen and lift, the walls become enormous in bulk and sharpen in contour. Gradually perspective and planes come back. As the sun slips down the western sky the whole Can-yon continues to grow more intense in light and shadow, more acute in line and color. It is the dramatic hour.
The spectacle of a Canyon sunset is usually one of intense light and warmth, and the sky absorbs attention to the exclusion of everything else. Perhaps it should not. One may not wholly agree with Whistler in his jibe at those who admire "a, foolish sunset," and yet still consider that the effect here, on Canyon and Painted Desert, is perhaps more beautiful than the cause itself. The effect is more subdued, more subtle in its mingling of local hues with the colors flashed by the sun. It is color filtered, strained, refined, and for that reason perhaps more acceptable as more purely sensuous.
The various hues that appear on the Canyon walls at sunset are akin to the evening glows of snow mountains. The very brilliant reflections are not usually from the sun itself, but from the sky or clouds that are set glowing with color by its light. The molten golds, searlets, and carmines that surround the sun, or are above it, are the torches that fire the buttes with flame and turn the pinnacles into towers of golden light. Often they "glow like plated Mars," and occasionally the illusion of molten metal appears in pinnacles, resembling the red of hot iron that finally dies out in a beautiful ash gray.
From Desert View at sunset, tints and tones in-numerable are seen, not only on Canyon walls, but on the mesas of the Painted Desert. The barrage of light seems to lift and lift, striking farther away as the sun sinks in the west. You can see it move along the ridges, spreading from cliff to cliff, and tingeing all the faces a bright vermilion. Far to the east it flies, growing fainter and fainter on butte and ridge, until it is lost in the thick violet air of distance. Navaho Mountain is too far away to respond in anything more pronounced than a rosy tone. It is the last echo.
These sun-shafts and rock reflections on the Desert are just as remarkable as those in the Can-yon. The background of the Desert, with its thick, dust-laden air, makes possible a perfect blend. At sundown the general tone of the whole flat basin is golden with a rose tinge in it, and through this envelope you see the red of the Echo Cliffs glowing like the fire of a bright. opal. The jewel quality of desert light and color are never so apparent as just then and there.
Occasionally at sunset a wind will pass over the Desert's face, raising great clouds of dust that reach up almost to the zenith. This dust-veil is, generally speaking, rosy red, but like the dawn and the sunset sky, it also shows faintly the colors of the spectrum arranged in order. It is a rather thick veiling, and the barrage of sun-fire meets opposition. The cliffs through it show lurid, the buttes smoulder, the mesas are ashes of roses. It is a red-and-purple mystery.
If you look now quickly to the west you will find that the Canyon, too, in some sympathy with the dust-cloud, will also show strange hues. The air down in the gorge is thick with purples, but above this a violet atmosphere lies under the Rim and around the buttes and points. The projecting promontories that, seen far down the Canyon, seem to overlap one another, now appear once more like the wings of a stage-setting illumined by dull Bengal fire. Blues and mauves and heliotropes are every-where. It is a violet fantasy in sky and Rim and Canyon, as unreal as any vision out of the Arabian Nights. And it becomes still more fantastic, as well as exquisite, if you will lie down on your point of rock and look at it sideways, with your head on the rock. The position seems to bring into play some unusual or unfatigued portion of the retina, for the colors appear greatly enhanced and beautified. All the world now seems swimming in lilac and violet.
Turn again to the Painted Desert and you will find that the maze and mystery of it have deepened while you were looking at the Canyon. St. John at Patmos can have seen nothing more supernaturally glowing. And note that the glow is not merely in the sky but all around you. You are within it. The purple air envelops everything, and the ridges and cliffs faintly seen through it finally go out in rose colors as Point Sublime to the west disappears in gun-metal blues. The whole world now seems like some dark opal, with dull fire-spots on its surface.
Once more, from your recumbent position on the rock, look around in the growing dusk at the vast circle of the horizon. It is complete save for the small segment of forest behind you. Turn over on your back and look straight up at the sky
"Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars."
The red moon is coming up over the pines back of you, but as yet makes little impression on either the sky or the Canyon. The dusk enfolds you. By midnight the air will clear, the moon will whiten, the sky will deepen, the stars will glisten. Before dawn the morning star will look so large that, like the Arabian sun, you can fancy seventy thousand angels necessary to start it each morning on its way. But now there is nothing but a dusky world swinging in blue space and carrying with it an envelope of colored air.
How intensely impressive this purple veil of night ! The Canyon is even more wonderful in color and a atmosphere than in rock strata and countersunk River. It is not the eighth wonder of the world but the first.

NIGHTINGALE, the Swedish progressive-metal band headed by Dan Swanö, have set "White Darkness" as the title of their upcoming album, tentatively due next year. About 75 percent of the material for the forthcoming CD was composed by Dan Swanö's brother Dag (a.k.a. Tom Nouga). The record will reportedly be very 1970s-inspired.As previously reported, NIGHTINGALE have been confirmed as one of the support acts for KINO (featuring members of such bands as MARILLION, IT BITES, ARENA, and PORCUPINE TREE) on December 17 at John Dee in Oslo, Norway. Also scheduled to appear on the bill is GAZPACHO. NIGHTINGALE recently posted a live recording from their gig at Sweden Rock Festival 2005. The song "Into the Light" can be downloaded from the homepage of Dag Swanö at this location. NIGHTINGALE completed their "10-Year Anniversary Tour" — covering Germany, Netherlands and Denmark — in April. A collection of re-recorded songs from the group's first three releases, "Nightfall Overture", was made available earlier in the year. (Thanks: Siria / www.konzi-tip.de)

Boeing 787 jets in Japan grounded after problems
Japan's transport ministry says Boeing 787 planes are being grounded for safety checks in the latest blow for the new passenger jet.
One of the 787s operated by All Nippon Airways made an emergency landing Wednesday in western Japan after a cockpit message showed battery problems - the latest in a series of problems including a battery fire and fuel leaks. No one has been seriously injured.
The ministry said Wednesday it got notices from ANA, which operates 17 of the jets, and Japan Airlines which has seven, that all their 787 aircraft will not be flying.
The grounding was being done voluntarily by the airlines. But the ministry says it's categorizing the problem Wednesday as a "serious incident" that could have led to an accident.

A seven-year-old boy from Modesto, Calif., who ended up in the emergency room, is one of more than a dozen cases of serious pharmacy errors at Walgreens drugstores reported by readers and viewers in the wake of an ABC News investigation of the problem posted online and broadcast last month.
Walgreens has confirmed the incident.
"His legs were shaking, he was getting delirious, cold and shaking. I kept thinking why is this happening?" the boy's mother, Diane Ramirez, wrote in a letter to The Blotter on ABCNews.com.THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS
Ramirez said she filled her son's prescription for a drug called Tegretol-XR, which was prescribed to treat her son's mental health problems, on March 15 at her local Walgreens. But her child's condition worsened, and his doctor told her to increase the dosage.
It was not until a friend suggested she view the recent ABC News "20/20" report on pharmacy errors on The Blotter on ABCNews.com that Ms. Ramirez thought to double-check the prescription.
Click Here for Full Blotter Coverage.
To her horror, instead of Tegretol-XR, Walgreens had given her Toprol XL used to treat high blood pressure in adults (pictured above).
"My son had been taking the wrong pills for almost three weeks. I immediately took him to the emergency room where he was evaluated. The doctors told us that if we had not caught this in time, our son would have collapsed because the medication was making his blood pressure drop," Ms. Ramirez told ABC News.
Ms. Ramirez went back to her local Walgreens, where, she says, "a red-faced pharmacist apologized over and over. He said he didn't know who had filled the prescription and gave us a new bottle of the correct medicine. The pharmacist refunded our $20 insurance copayment and asked us to return or destroy the wrong pills."
When contacted by ABC News about the Ramirez case, a spokesman for Walgreens acknowledged the error, saying the pharmacy manager at the Modesto Walgreens had filed an internal company error report about the case last Friday.
In a statement to ABC News, Walgreens said the prescription had been filled by a pharmacy technician and checked by a pharmacist. "As a result of the error, procedures were reviewed with the Pharmacy staff" at the store, the company said.
Walgreens appears to shift some of the blame for the error from its own pharmacy staff to the young boy's doctor. "We found the prescription was handwritten by the doctor and unfortunately misread by our staff."
"This is a case where electronic prescribing could have avoided confusion between two medication names that looked similar when handwritten," the company statement said.
"I'm angry and upset, particularly at Walgreens attempts to blame our doctor. What you showed on '20/20,' it's happening here in our neighborhood. We were shocked and furious to find out it had happened to us," Ms. Ramirez said.
"It's disappointing but not surprising," University of Illinois Professor Bruce Lambert, a specialist in studying medication errors, told ABC News in response to the Ramirez case.
"Confusion between drugs with look-alike and sound-alike names, such as Toprol and Tegretol, is a well-known problem," Lambert said. "The FDA issued a warning to pharmacists in October 2005 of the potential for mix-ups with these two drugs."
The "20/20" pharmacy investigation found there were no federal regulations, and only a few states require drugstores to report pharmacy errors. There are also no federal standards for pharmacy technicians, who can often be high school students with minimal training.
"Retail pharmacies have their own internal error reporting systems, but they have fought efforts to require them to publicly disclose the information, claiming proprietary and privacy concerns," said Lambert. "Access to this data would be a valuable resource to study and prevent future errors."
In the latest development, after ABC News contacted Walgreens to ask about the case, Ms. Ramirez said she received a phone call from a Walgreens representative who asked how her son was doing and offered her a "settlement," which she says she politely refused to discuss.
"The doctors at the emergency room told me I should report this, but I had no idea who to tell. That's why I wrote to ABC," Ms. Ramirez said.

OTTAWA, May 29 — WestJet Airlines agreed on Monday to pay 15.5 million Canadian dollars ($14 million) to settle accusations of spying on an internal Web site of its bigger rival, Air Canada.
The settlement, which came with an apology, brought to an end two years of litigation between Canada's two largest carriers. In spring 2004, Air Canada sued WestJet for 220 million Canadian dollars ($199 million) for logging on more than 240,000 times to an internal Web site that contained passenger-load data. WestJet, a discount carrier, then sued Air Canada for, among other things, hiring private investigators who dressed as garbage collectors to retrieve documents from the home of a former executive.
A brief statement issued jointly by the airlines Monday said WestJet's Internet viewing "was both unethical and unacceptable and WestJet accepts full responsibility."
It added that "WestJet sincerely regrets having engaged in this practice."
There was no advance notice of the settlement. At an investors' conference earlier this month, the WestJet chairman and chief executive, Clive Beddoe, said he was growing impatient with delays by Air Canada in providing documents to the court in Ontario hearing the case.
Representatives of both companies declined to discuss the settlement Monday.
Under its terms, WestJet will pay Air Canada, a unit of ACE Holdings, 5.5 million Canadian dollars ($4.97 million) to cover its legal and investigation costs. WestJet will also give 10 million Canadian dollars to children's charities to be chosen by Air Canada.Continue reading the main story
The payments are considered unlikely to have a severe financial effect on WestJet, which reported earnings in the first quarter of 13 million Canadian dollars on revenue of 388 million Canadian dollars. A spokesman at WestJet's headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, Richard Bartrem, said the company would receive tax benefits from the charitable donations.
The password-protected Air Canada Web site that was the setting for the spying accusations is used by employees to check seat availability before booking personal flights. In its lawsuit, Air Canada asserted that the data on the site could also be used by WestJet to adjust its schedules and fares for specific routes based on Air Canada's performance.
The password came from a financial analyst at WestJet who had legitimate access because a previous job at a carrier acquired by Air Canada still gave him some travel rights. Sometime in 2003, the analyst gave the password to Mark Hill, a founder of WestJet who was the company's vice president for strategic planning at the time.
Based partly on electronic reconstructions of shredded papers taken from Mr. Hill's household trash, Air Canada said he had regularly logged onto the Web site over 10 months and created a software program to collect data. In a court filing, Air Canada called the process "corporate espionage on a massive scale."
Mr. Hill resigned from WestJet in 2004 because of the affair. WestJet maintained that Mr. Hill was acting on his own. But in Monday's announcement, the airline acknowledged that the spying "was undertaken with the knowledge and direction of the highest management levels of WestJet and was not halted until discovered by Air Canada."Continue reading the main story

Ryan says Obama fell 'woefully short' as president
Fred44 Salt Lake City, UtahSept. 9, 2012 9:38 a.m.
Counter Intelligence,
I understand that strategy and I understand that it has worked in the past. I don't however think it is going to work this time. Being the best of two bad options isn't good enough. I just watched Mr. Romney on Meet the Press. He was unwilling to give any specific things he would do to get us out of this mess. He wants us to trust him, but has given no one a reason to trust. He needs to be brave and set a new course with specifics. You mention why isn't the President running on his record? It doesn't matter what the President is doing, if Mr. Romney is going to win, it is about what he does. His current strategy may have worked in the past, but to this point Mr. Romney has not made a connection with the American people. He is not selling the people in the swing states and that will cause him the election.

"Why can't the republicans give reasons to vote for them?"
Better question: Why wont Obama run on his own record? He knows he will lose. His only chance is to make the alternative candidate not palatable to the voters. So while Republican attacks center on Obama's failed economy; Obama focuses on the personal destruction of his opponent (felon, liar, cancer causer)
All second term elections are about the incumbent.
Therefore the smartest campaign of a good Republican candidate will be to protect his personal reputation from destruction, provide enough policy reasons to see a difference (but not to be too controversial), then allow Obama to destroy himself.
You might not like that strategy, but it is the one that has worked in the past for both parties for second term upsets.
Fred44 Salt Lake City, UtahSept. 7, 2012 9:08 a.m.
Why can't the republicans give reasons to vote for them? There campaign is based on why you shouldn't vote for the other guy? They attack everyone, the President, unions, hollywood, teachers, government workers, and yet if somebody mentions that rich people should maybe pay a little more in tax they are haters. Why not run on what you have done that is positive and your vision of the future instead of what is wrong with the other guy and those who support him?

Teays Valley HS Cleared After Student Wrote Bomb Threat On Wall As Part Of Dare
ASHVILLE, Ohio
A Pickaway County high school was evacuated Friday afternoon after a bomb threat was discovered on a bathroom wall.
Authorities say a 16-year-old wrote the message after a dare from another student.
Teays Valley High School was evacuated around 1:30 p.m. when the message was discovered.
It read "bomb 4-12-13, get out."
The student has since confessed and admitted that it was part of a dare. The student is being charged with inducing panic.
The school reopened later Friday, but after-school activities were canceled.
Authorities said this is the first bomb threat at the school in quite some time.
Multiple law enforcement agencies responded and searched the school as a precaution.
