The Lane Kiffin reign may have lasted just one season in Knoxville, but the current USC head coach is still causing problems on Rocky Top.
Additional penalties were announced by the NCAA and Tennessee on Friday for violations that were committed by former assistant Willie Mack Garza, who paid for a recruit's unofficial visit in 2009 and subsequently misled the governing body's enforcement when probed about the action.
Lane Kiffin spent one season as Tennessee's head coach before bolting to USC.
After Tennessee met with the NCAA Committee on Infractions at a hearing on Tuesday, the additional penalties were announced on Friday. They include the Vols' probation being extended by two years, a reduction in the number of official visits for the 2012-13 academic year and a reduction in evaluation days for the coaches. The school will also be unable to provide free tickets to recruits for the first two SEC games in 2013.
"We will finally close the chapter on the prior actions of members of a previous football coaching staff," athletic director Dave Hart said in a release. "We have significantly strengthened our culture of compliance at Tennessee and will continue to do so. We disagree with additional penalties fora matter we believed should have been part of the previous case. We will now move forward."
The most notable aspect of these violations by Garza is the fact that his payments were to Willie Lyles, the same figure involved in the NCAA's case against Oregon in which Ducks head coach Chip Kelly allegedly paid Lyles for bogus scouting data. The NCAA has yet to make a ruling on that case. Meanwhile, Oregon is positioned to play in the BCS national championship game.
Certainly, though, it's never a dull day in Knoxville, where the Vols currently sit at 4-6 and winless in SEC play, which could mean that Derek Dooley's days as head coach are numbered.

Dysferlin and the plasma membrane repair in muscular dystrophy
Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 14, Issue 4, 1 April 2004, Pages 206-213
Dimple Bansal and Kevin P. Campbell
AbstractMuscular dystrophy covers a group of genetically determined disorders that cause progressive weakness and wasting of the skeletal muscles. Dysferlin was identified as a gene mutated in limb–girdle muscular dystrophy (type 2B) and Miyoshi myopathy. The discovery of dysferlin revealed a new family of proteins, known as the ferlin family, which includes four different genes. Recent work suggests the function of dysferlin in membrane repair and demonstrates that defective membrane repair is a novel mechanism of muscle degeneration. These findings reveal the importance of a basic cellular function in skeletal muscle and a new class of muscular dystrophy where the defect lies in the maintenance, not the structure, of the plasma membrane. Here, we discuss the current knowledge of dysferlin function in the repair of the plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle cells.

AbstractResealing is the membrane-repair process that enables cells to survive disruption, preventing the loss of irreplaceable cell types and eliminating the cost of replacing injured cells. Given that failure in the resealing process in animal cells causes diverse types of muscular dystrophy, plasma membrane repair has been extensively studied in these systems. Animal proteins with Ca2+-binding domains such as synaptotagmins and dysferlin mediate Ca2+-dependent exocytosis to repair plasma membranes after mechanical damage. Until recently, no components or proof for membrane repair mechanisms have been discovered in plants. However, Arabidopsis SYT1 is now the first plant synaptotagmin demonstrated to participate in Ca2+-dependent repair of membranes. This suggests a conservation of membrane repair mechanisms between animal and plant cells.

Katherine R. Doherty and Elizabeth M. McNally
AbstractMany muscular dystrophies arise from enhanced muscle degeneration, but one muscular dystrophy subtype has now been shown to arise from defective muscle membrane repair. Mutations in the gene encoding dysferlin cause muscular dystrophy, and recent work has demonstrated a role for this protein in resealing muscle membrane tears. Thus, two broad categories of muscle membrane defects can now be defined: those with inherent instability and those with compromised repair. The latter might be relevant for muscle wasting that occurs with aging.

Ca2+ influx through plasma membrane wounds triggers a rapid-repair response that is essential for cell survival. Earlier studies showed that repair requires the exocytosis of intracellular vesicles. Exocytosis was thought to promote resealing by 'patching' the plasma membrane lesion or by facilitating bilayer restoration through reduction in membrane tension. However, cells also rapidly repair lesions created by pore-forming proteins, a form of injury that cannot be resealed solely by exocytosis. Recent studies indicate that, in cells injured by pores or mechanical abrasions, exocytosis is followed by lesion removal through endocytosis. Describing the relationship between wound-induced exocytosis and endocytosis has implications for the understanding of muscular degenerative diseases that are associated with defects in plasma membrane repair.

March release, so about 5-6 weeks old. Not too shabby. Side-by-side with Sculpin.
A: Pours a transparent, golden honey color with a big fluffy white head that sticks around for a while. Some moderate lacing.
S: Tons of fresh citrus fruits, ripe grapefruit, mango, pineapple. This is all about bright, happy hops.
T: Of course it is very hoppy, but in such a great way. More of the ripe, juicy citrus fruits dazzle. There is almost no malt to this one, but it works out quite well.
M: Extremely smooth and medium-bodied, this drinks much closer to an excellent IPA than a double. Carbonation is nice and prickly. There is some light alcohol heat at the end, which surprised me.
O: Having reached triple digits in IPA ticks, I feel comfortable picking out the really excellent ones. This is one of those for me, primarily because it was just so hop dominant and yet somehow still balanced. I could easily drink 2 bombers in a row.

Reviewing the infamous Citra Double IPA from Kern River Brewing Company out of California. Today marks the last day of class in my law school career. I needed to celebrate with something special. Thank you Steven for sending me this highly hyped treat!
Score: 95
This bottle is from the March 23, 2012 release. Served in a Half Acre tulip and enjoyed on 05/02/12. Per Steven, this was stored in a fridge with set to a low/mid-30's temperature to help preserve its freshness.
Appearance: Pours a real nice golden orange color with two-plus fingers of foamy off-white head that slowly settles into a thin layer atop the glass. Very dense looking, and on the opaque side of translucent. Average lacing, excellent retention. 4/5
Smell: Lots of fresh tropical citrus in the nose. Pineapple, grapefruit, peach, mango, hoppy orange, lemon zest, and sweet-and-sour lemonade. Piney hops and fresh grass clipping. Incredible DIPA aroma. 4.75/5
Taste: You can tell the hops have fallen off a bit in the beer, but it still tastes fantastic. Sweet-and-sour tropical citrus upfront, counterbalanced by bitter, foresty hops on back end. Upfront is zesty sweet-and-sour lemon, candied grapefruit, bitter orange rind, and pineapple juice. The back half has plenty of juicy citrus as well, but a mildly bitter pine and grassy hops flavor comes out on the back of the tongue. Bitter orange rind residual in the linger too. The flavor profile is very similar to Heady Topper and Ghandi Bot. Very drinkable, very refreshing. At 39 days old, the hoppiness is not very pronounced, but like I said, this beer is still plenty tasty. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and on the higher end of carbonation. The carbonation really makes the bitterness and sweet-and-sour citrus flavors pop on the tongue. Juicy mouthfeel. Bitter finish that is mildly sweet-and-sour. 4.5/5
Overall: An absolutely fantastic DIPA. I can't imagine just how much better this one is when absolutely fresh.
Recommendation: Fans of sweet-and-sour citra-hopped beers need to seek this one out when the next batch is bottled. I know I'll be in search of one.
Pairings: Rainbow sherbet ice cream.
Cost: $8 for a 22 oz bottle.

A Copper honey color. Creamy white head. Can't see through. Murky.
S Hits u in the face from far even. Hypnotized. Wish there was a cologne this smell. Floral. Fruity. Hops are super active in the nose. Pineapple tropical smell
M amazing. So well balanced it's ridiculous. U can taste every thing in the same second. There is no stairstepping. Everything hits you right away and it is spectacular. Fruity pinapple hops light bitterness fading very quickly. Fruity not over sweet flavor lingers last. Very pleasing. The hops bite at just the right time. Subjective I'm sure. Just really like this dipa. Every thing seems to mesh so well. The fruity balance of the hops and sugar content all seem to compliment the amount of malt.
O I've had this beer too many times and when it's not available I wonder if I was just in a good mood and overrated it. Yet every time we get it I love every second I spend. My favorite dipa for sure and I compare everything to it. Sorry if this is too ass kissy. It's just that good for me. I quote. I want to make ice blocks out of it and skate on it and then melt it in summer and drink it. Ok too far. I can say the first time I tried i felt like eh it's just another dipa no big deal but more tastings and comparing really do this beer justice

Got this in a trade, and have been excited to try it as I love these Tropical Fruit IPA's.
A: Slightly hazy yellow/orange beer with a great head and impressive lacing.
S: Tropical fruits; Mango, Passionfruit abound incredible aroma on this.
T: Everything it smeels like and more, nice clean malt profile that is just enough there while letting the hops(as they should be) be the star of this show. And what a show, low upfront bitterness but some much hop flavor it is amazing.
M: Perfect carbonation level along with a solid but clean malt profile that allows the hops to do their thing.
O: The best DIPA I have ever had, just ahead of fresh Heady Topper. Need to try it side by side with HF Galaxy and possibly rethink that.

22oz acquired in trade. Been waiting for this one! 2012 release.
A - Extremely attractive pour. Typical for the style, but this one has a fantastic pure white head that sticks around for a while. Lacing is absolutely outstanding. Slightly hazy yellow/orange hue.
S - Awesome fruit notes. Big pineapple, grapefruit, mango and orange. All hops in the aroma.
T - I wish more accessible DIPA's tasted like this! Huge fruity hop notes. This beer needs to warm some to get the full bouquet of flavors. Big sweet pineapple and citrus. Mango all over the place. Towards the end the bread malts come through, but the bottle is correct, this beer is all about the hops. Total fruit-hop bomb, and I LOVE it.
M - Outstanding job done in this department. Perfectly carbonated and has the consistency of a carbonated cask brew, if that makes any sense. Creamy, smooth and absolutely awesome.
O - Extremely glad that I was able to source this bottle finally. For comparison, think of a day old batch of a less sweet Founders Double Trouble & Lagunitas Sucks. Fantastic beer. Shame I probably won't ever have it again.

Huge thanks to Ryan (Treebs) on this one once again.
A: pours a bright golden color with a big white head that gives way to covering lacing. It sticks to the edges with ease.
S: beautiful medley of citrus, sweet malt, bitterness, some melon.
T: melon is more prevalent here, but the citrus comes in along a bit of grassy flavor. Very nice. Also a good amount of sweet malt, but it's not overpowering.
M: medium body with medium to heavy carbonation make this beautiful and crisp, but it doesn't lack body. After a morning of working outside, it's exactly what I wanted.
O: beautiful DIPA with no ill effects from the hops. All the bitterness and smell and flavor are there, but none of the extra cat pee, onion, or garlic that can be present. Maybe that has to do with time, but this is still incredibly well balanced for my tastes. Drink it at room temperature!

A: Pours a massive white head with heavy lacing and froth on the top of the glass. The body of this is very light, perhaps a little lighter than most DIPA's that I see, but it does look appealing.
S: Heavy Citrus, guava, pineapple and mango. Heavy pine scent followed by a decent malt aroma.
T: A heavily caramelized malt presence followed closely by heavy pine flavors. As I let it linger for a bit, I picked up the heavy mango and citrus flavors. Most of the flavors in here are very well balanced and smooth. There may be a bit of an astringent aftertaste that is slightly earthy. This is probably my only off flavor in here, but otherwise this is a very nice DIPA.
M: Light to medium body for a DIPA. There are the caramelized flavors of a longer boil time in here, but not a huge caramel flavor presence. This is mostly pale malt flavor in body and could be a little heavier, but very enjoyable as it is.
O: I can definitely enjoy this, this is a great IPA. The citrus flavors are definitely there and very enjoyable, roasted sugars peeking their head out as you let it warm up. Recommended

Updated review. After trying a fresh bottle, I realized my original review was of an older bottle. The hops were much more prevalent. Great flavor, great smell. I now understand the appeal of this beer completely. Overall a great beer that fully lived up to my expectations with the fresh bottle.
Original review of the older bottle:
Poured into a Dogfish Head Signature
A - Slightly hazy burnt orange/copper color. A nice white head that lingers for awhile, with a very faint lacing.
S - Lots of citrus going on here. Also some peach smells which was very unexpected.
T - I was a bit disappointed here. I was expecting a lot after talking with some other BAs about this beer. After recently drinking some Pliny, Hopslam, and Heady Topper, it was hard not comparing here. I felt that the hops were a bit muted compared to the others. It is nicely balanced, but I feel like it needed more. Maybe its an older bottle as there is no date on it?
M - Medium body that is smooth going down.
O - I can see the appeal here. There is a lot of potential, and it is a solid beer. I just feel that is didn't quite live up to my expectations. I really wonder how old this bottle was since I didn't purchase it in a store myself.

over-ripe mangoes, tropical fruits galore, grapefruit, citrus fruit medley. very aromatic.
grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, OJ, mangos, a bit of sweetened, dried tropical fruit medley. very little bitterness, tons of hop flavor. finishes with just pure tangy mango flavor.
medium body with fluffy carbonation and I swear to god you can feel citrus fruit pulp.
wow. I loved Just Outstanding, and this is one step better. Kern River is definitely one of the premier west coast IPA brewers, just based on my few experiences.

Big thanks to Dan25D for sharing
A: Hop-hazed gold color with a frothy white cap. Excellent retention
S: You can smell this beer as soon as you open the cap. Massive tropical fruit (mango/pineapple) blasts your face. A touch of resin. Delicate yet sturdy malt background to balance. Perfect
T: Ahhh man, tons of tropical fruit and a light malt backing. Balanced perfectly for a dipa. Kind of similar to sculpin but with aore pungent hop attack
MF: Smooth and velvety feel to it. Carbonation is low-medium and doesn't ruin the experience like other dipas have a tendency of doing. Alcohol is well hidden throughout
O: I absolutely love this beer. This is the benchmark of dipas in my opinion (move over Pliny)

Poured into my CBS snifter...
A: An effervescent golden orange, practically glows in the glass. Huge, pillowy two finger white head. Settles down to a quarter finger of thick, gobby blobs. Very good lacing.
S: Well hello Citra hops! Like an orange creamsicle. Loads of orange zest, pineapple, and some tangerine. Also hints of caramel malt and quite a bit of candied spice. Love, love, love it.
T: Candied orange, caramel malt, grapefruit rind, pineapple. Starts off with fairly aggressive citrus hops, then the malt seeps in and evens things out. Finish is smooth, but another fresh blast of hop oils keeps things interesting. Most notable is how light this is for a DIPA. Hops are assertive, but more sweet and spicy than overwhelmingly bitter.
M: This is the only part of the beer that doesn't quite stand up to the rest. Slightly thin and and lacking in complexity. Sweet and hoppy, but perhaps too smooth for its own good, especially for a DIPA.
O: Deserving of the hype. Didn't knock me off my feet right away, but over the entire experience, this greatly impressed me. One of the lightest and smoothest DIPAs I have had the pleasure of drinking. Without a trace of booze at 8.0%, this one is dangerously drinkable. Just a complete showcase for the Citra hop. Really like this.

Received a bottle of this today from Whatsarezaf; thanks Reza! Been a big Want of mine for a while so glad to finally snag a bottle from the recent release. Poured into my Bell's tulip.
a - Pours a hazy dark orange-yellow color with two fingers of lightly off white head and moderate carbonation evident. Head lasts for two to three minutes and leaves a ton of frothy lacing on the glass.
s - Smells of citra hops, mangos, tropical fruits, fruity malts, light grapefruit, citrus, and pine hops. Really awesome nose; just a ton of citra hops and tropical fruits. Near perfect nose for a DIPA, I love it.
t - Tastes of citra hops, tropical fruits, mangos, peaches, floral hops, fruity malts, grapefruit, lemon, light pine hops. Taste is great as well. A little bit maltier then the nose though still a ton of hops too. Great taste, the nose was just perfect.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Some light bitterness but not much considering how hoppy it is. Very nice body.
o - Overall I thought this was an amazing DIPA; probably the best Citra DIPA I've had. The nose is perfect, and the taste is great too. Tons and tons of citra hops and tropical fruits, and not much bitterness in the taste at all. An Awesome beer I really love and would love to have again. Up there with Blind Pig, Heady Topper, and Pliny the Elder as one of the best DIPA's I've had.

650 mL bottle poured into a pint glass. Thanks to iHEARTbeer247 for this bottle.
Appearance - Deep orange body. Cloudy with a big white head. Great sticky lacing and a nice layer of foam remains on the beer.
Smell - Hoppy. Clearly. Straight citrus hops with a bready malt in the back. It's really nice, but it's not complex like other great IPAs.
Taste - Yes, it's hoppy, but it's just citrus again. It's pretty damn good, but it's just not very interesting. If the other hop flavors were more prevalent, this could be fantastic. Anyway, the malt flavor is bready and just a touch sweet, but it still manages to be quite imposing on the palate. The flavor drops off abruptly at the end to a very slightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel - It's crisp, but the hop flavor isn't sustained throughout the drink. Hoppy at first and malty in the back. The one-dimensionality of the hop profile makes it incredibly drinkable, but only because I want the hop flavor back.
Overall - Ok, so everything it has is great, but it doesn't rival the best out there. I'd take a Pliny or Heady Topper over this easily. I want the flavor to build, but it doesn't. If this beer wasn't hyped to hell, I'd be singing its praises.

A: Burnt orange, big couple inches of white foamy head. A good amount of lacing to it as well throughout the drink.
S: Citrus, Orange, Lemon, a burst of tropical fruits. A slight malt/hop smell but its predominantly the citrus.
T: Yum.. Great taste of tropical fruits come through up front and a little of the hopiness on the backbone. Not boozy at all, very smooth.
M: Medium bodied, good amount of carbonation.. Very creamy DIPA - finishes clean and makes you want more.
O: Fantastic IPA. Wish I could get my hands on more of these however this is my last bomber :( Certainly going to be in my Top 5 with Hopslam, Pliny, Heady Topper and Dreadnaught. Well done Kern!

S: there was plenty of grassy piney hops on the aroma with citrus, caramel, sweetness from the malts, and a bit of pineapple fruit.
T: the piney grassy hops were very good and had a good balance between the sweetness from the malts. It did have citrus, caramel, and pineapple flavor accents as well.
M: the brew was mediumin body with a good amount of carbonation which had a sweet, piney grassy hoppy, mild fruity, and bitter bite finish.
O: it was definitely a good beer but not a great DIPA in my book. I thought the aroma was better than the taste but that's just my opinion.

A: Pours a perfect hazy orange color with a fluffy pure white head forming on the pour. The retention is out of this world and as the head slowly subsides it leaves huge, sticky sheets of lace behind.
S: Pineapple flesh, sweet caramel malts, light grass and light lemon grass. Extremely balanced.
T: The taste follows the nose perfectly. Citrus pineapple and orange with a touch of lemon peel. Sweet caramel malts and light bitter hops on the finish.
M: This is the most drinkable DIPA I've ever had. So smooth and balanced. It drinks like water. Nice solid carbonation with a medium to light body.
O: One the most balanced DIPA's I've had and certainly the most drinkable. The wonderful citrus flavors with the sweet caramel are just perfect. Not to mention the beer looks pretty too.

A big thanks to Urbano7913 for this gem. I've really wanted to try this for a while now, so I couldn't resist opening one after the box arrived today. You know it has to be good if I feel compelled to write a review.
A - Pours a cloudy golden orange color that looks great on this lovely Spring day. A two finger, slightly off white head settles down to a nice layer of bubbles that hang around until the end.
S - It smells pretty close to what I expected from a beer named Citra. Almost like you're eating a fruit salad in a forest. A nice layer of pine to hold together the citrus and tropical fruit. The malt is there but the dry hopping really lets this one shine.
T - Taste definitely follows the nose. Mango, pineapple, orange peel, and pine all glide over the tongue. You know the malt is there, but they did a great job of keeping it in the background and letting the hops take over. Finishes a little dry, slightly bitter.
M - Medium body, nice carbonation, this is exactly the feel I look for in a DIPA. Each sips leaves you wanting another taste.
O - I was definitely impressed with this beer, great job KRBC!! I would have include this with the likes of my other favorite DIPAs. I wish it was a little easier to come by. It seemed like it was disappearing way too fast from my glass. Good thing I have one more...

*From notes
-- Thanks to cjmencuri for this fresh bottle of deliciousness --
Review #500
A: Cloudy sunset amber-golden. A careful pour yields a killer three finger off-white head that never really fades. The lacing here is off the charts, just gobs of sticky goodness cling to the walls of the glass. Simply gorgeous.
S: Pure citra delight. It's overflowing with mango, grapefruit and tropical juicy delights. As it warms a bit, the clean malt becomes a bit more evident, yet it's in absolute harmony with the hop oil.
T: Just spectacular. The balance is perfect. The luscious and juicy nature of the citra hops is met with and paired beautifully with the biting nature of the amarillo hop oil. The golden malt is masterfully placed. It runs down the spine of the beer, giving it weight and purpose. I can't state enough just how attuned everything is here.
M: I can't say I've encountered a hop forward beer that feels this thick and rich. It almost has the feel of fresh motor oil. It's creamy and dense, yet at no point does it become too much. Approachable as a $100 bill blowing in the breeze.
O: As the label says, "This beer is all about the hops." Damn right. This may very well be the best hop forward beer, let alone Double IPA I've ever consumed. Everything here is pitch perfect, not a flaw in sight. Worthy of it's cult status, and one I plan on tracking down every time it's released.
My highest recommendation.

A Pours a rich orange/gold with a nice eggshell head with nice lacing. Pretty beer.
S Holy smokes! Wonderful floral hop smell with pine and malt all married so well together. This is a fantastic smelling beer!
T Just like the nose. Hopes, pine, citrus, malt all balanced together. Slight bitterness at the end. Every sip of beer I can't help but exclaim "Damn that's good!" This is a world class brew.
M Medium body, crisp and refreshing.
O I've tried all the top tier DIPA's out there and this is , hands down, the best I have ever had. In my top 3 overall. It's a shame that it's availability is so limited.

Pours a light golden color with a small white head. Smells like a hop garden. Tastes like hops smell. Some beers smell like hops and taste different, but this beer tasted like you were chewing on that delightful hop smell without being overly bitter. A fantastic beer. Very Citrusy hop flavor dominates the aftertaste. Did a Side by Side with PtE and Citra was just a touch better.

Hazy yellow orange color with fluffy white head with excellent retention and fine-bubbled lacing; tiny bubbles. Nose jumps out hoppy tones of pine and ivy.The flavor is very hop forward without being really bitter or sweet. Very soft and smooth with excellent drinkability. Lots of tropical fruit and pine flavors with a touch of malt. Very drinkable DIPA.

A - Slightly hazed golden apricot color with a full, smooth, creamy, white head. Great retention leaving a thin whispy layer of lace.
S - Very fruity aroma with mango, pineapple, peach, grapefruit, and hints of passion fruit. There is a pleasant sweet malty backbone with a slight bready aspect. Ripe fruit just dominates though.
T - Reflects the nose with loads of ripe fruit (all the ones indicated above). A slight resin/floral flavor is hidden away in the fruit as well. A kick of bitterness toward the finish but it is balanced nicely with the bready malt and sweet fruit.
M - Medium body with above average carbonation. Fairly lively and zesty feel.
D - Loads of hoppy goodness and fruits make this very drinkable. Alcohol is very well hidden. Maybe a little strong on the bitterness but this was a very fresh bottle.
Notes: Wonderful DIPA. Loads of fruit with a great sweet and bitter contrast. Hops are very much on display. Well crafted and very enjoyable. I was extremely happy and lucky to get a sample.

I love the use of mason jars that have been popping up in party decor lately. I think they have their own unique vintage feel that are able to add a perfect touch to a party. Here are a few ideas how you can incorporate Mason Jars into your next party.
Layer cupcakes, frosting, and sprinkles for cupcakes in a jar!
Silverware in the Mason jars for a fun way to hold them
Serve the drinks in cute little Mason jars like these
Or use them for cute thank you gifts!

I bought those cute mason jar cups that you have with the straws in them. Using them for the 1st time this week for a party, can't wait!
Love those candles in a jar! Very creative ideas!
Year Old Birthday Party Ideas -
This is a really great post! I have been using mason jars for several years and love the versatility they provide. I use them as vases for random flowers and set them all in a group. At this very moment I have a large mason jar filled with willow branches and a peacock feather. I get compliments on my usage often.
The lemonade jars are adorable! Any clue where to find the lids with the straw openings?
Mason Jar's are so handy to have around! I love the cupcake idea.

Topic: To Kill a Mockingbird
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," how does Jem compare to Scout in terms of character?
I have to find points ONLY from chapter 6 and 7. Please do provide Point, Explanation and Elaboration. Thanks much!
3 Answers | add yours
Jem's maturity and control of emotion, as well as his sense of reasoning, separate Jem and Scout in these two chapters.
Jem is the brave and reasonable one after Dill, Scout, and Jem go to the Radley house. Jem loses his pants on the fence while fleeing the house. He has to face his fears and retrieve his pants. Scout cannot understand why he would do that, and it causes a split between them. Jem realizes that fear is less important to him than losing Atticus's respect.
In chapter seven, Jem's maturity and reason are still evident. While Scout wonders about the filling of the knothole, she does not reflect on the implications. Jem, however, withdraws as he contemplates the action. The loss of communication with Boo overwhelms him. He cries when he is alone. For Jem, Boo is no longer a "thing", but a person. Scout has not reached this point yet. Jem shows his maturity with his decision to ask Nathan Radley directly. Scout would never approach an adult and demand answers.

Posted by lax170 on March 21, 2008 at 10:54 PM (Answer #2)
Jem makes a valuable and emotional discovery when he returns to get his pants. He expects to find a cruel "monster," but instead he finds his pants have been mended and are folded. It is as if someone expected him to return. As he approaches adolescence, Jem becomes quieter and more easily agitated. The narrator of the novel, Jean Louise "Scout" Finch is almost six years old at the time her story begins. A tomboy most frequently clad in overalls, Scout spends much of her time with her older brother Jem and is constantly trying to prove herself his equal. Throughout the book Scout maintains an innocence and an innate sense of right and wrong that makes her the ideal observer of events, even if she doesn't always fully understand them. She naturally questions the injustices she sees instead of accepting them as "the way things are."

Land for Center Purchased
By KWGS News
Tulsa, OK – A deal is reached to buy land for a new Tulsa County Juvenile Justice Center.
A contract has been signed to buy a seven and a half acre parcel of land for a future juvenile justice and courts center. The downtown site is currently occupied by Storey Wrecker Service. The local, just south of the jail and only a few blocks from the county courthouse is bordered by Guthrie Avenue on the west, Elwood on the east and Archer on the north and the railroad tracks on the south.
The purchase price is $2.5 million. The new center would replace the old site west of downtown. No funding source to build the new center has yet been identified.

Friday Harbor's 100th birthday: A celebration islanders will always remember
When islanders look back on 2009, they will remember Friday Harbor's 100th birthday and all the resulting events: The community celebration on Feb. 9, a history book published by Arcadia Publishing Co., the largest Fourth of July parade in memory, the shattering of the last local glass ceiling with the election of a woman to the mayoralty for the first time.
Journal multimedia reporter Jane K. Fox took scenes and sounds from the Feb. 9 community celebration and produced this commemorative slideshow. Enjoy.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
RedOctane says it's working to release downloadable songs for Guitar Hero III on Wii -- what would be a first for the console that lacks large storage capacity.
"Downloadable content for the Wii is something we are working very hard on getting in place for the new year," RedOctane officials told Nintencast in an email. "There is no definite timetable in place but we are hoping it will be soon."
Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Guitar Hero III already support downloadable tracks at an additional cost.
Before its release, Activision openly hoped for the same on Wii, though they have since stated that Nintendo has yet to provide the necessary infrastructure (not to mention storage capacity) to do so.
Regarding the mono-only audio issue currently plaguing the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3, Activision has yet to issue an update to our ongoing requests for comment.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Chair of Wiltshire Locality Group Date agreed by email: Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 3 1. PURPOSE OF THESE GUIDELINES The purpose of these guidelines is to produce a single set of criteria across the Central South Coast Cancer Network in accordance with the national peer review measures (2008). These guidelines should be met by practitioners of complementary therapy as a pre-condition for their practising on NHS premises of the network. The guidelines have been developed to provide a robust framework for practitioners to provide complementary therapies safely and appropriately. Each organisation employing complementary therapists should have their own specific guidelines. The criteria are confined to adult services. Following approval by the CSCCN Delivery Board on the 10th September 2010, these criteria will be circulated to the Locality chairs to: Document approval of the criteria Produce a list, updated annually, of the complementary therapy practitioners offering their therapy or consulting with patients on the NHS premises of the locality (09-1D-102w) and ensure those listed meet the relevant network complementary therapy criteria (09-1D-103w) Produce a list, updated annually, of those practitioners of complementary therapy (or organisations providing practitioners) who are endorsed or cited in the patient information of the MDTs, chemotherapy services and radiotherapy departments, encompassed by the locality, but who do not practise on the NHS premises of the locality (09-1D-104w) and meet the agreed criteria (09-1D-104w) 2. INTRODUCTION These guidelines set out the clinical governance requirements for therapists or organisations that provide complementary therapy for adults with cancer and are either: employed by the NHS employed by another organisation approved by the cancer network work in a voluntary capacity endorsed and cited in the patient information of the Central South Coast Cancer Network's MDTs, chemotherapy services or radiotherapy services These guidelines do not attempt to make recommendations regarding individual complementary therapies and therefore makes no judgement about the evidence basis of such therapies. (NICE Supportive and Palliative Care for Adults with Cancer Guidance 2004) All practitioners offering complementary therapies on NHS premises or cited/endorsed in the patient information of the Central South Coast Cancer Network's MDTs, chemotherapy services or radiotherapy services must adhere to these guidelines as a pre-requirement to practice on NHS premises whether they are paid by the NHS or other agencies for their services or where the therapies are provided on a volunteer basis. Therapists who cannot meet the criteria as set out in these guidelines must not be permitted to practice complementary therapies in NHS settings on NHS patients with cancer. NHS premises are taken to be hospitals, day centres, NHS owned GP practices but exclude non NHS premises where NHS care may be provided e.g. GP premises owned by GPs. However complementary therapies provided in these settings may refer to these guidelines as an example of good practice for governance arrangements. Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 4 These guidelines will be distributed to all the CSCCN NSSG's Groups, Locality groups, Trust CEO's, voluntary / independent sector providers of palliative care and any other organisations providing complementary therapy to patients with cancer in the geographical area of the Central South Coast Cancer Network. 3. DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this document, 'Complementary Therapy' is used to cover a range of specific therapies which are offered to patients with cancer as having potential benefit, but which are not offered as an alternative tumour reduction (cancer reduction, tumour ablation or removal) methods to any of the conventional treatments offered by the network (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy or biological therapy). Hence the term used here is 'complementary' not 'alternative'. The definition of Complementary therapies: Complementary therapies are used alongside orthodox treatments with the aim of providing psychological and emotional support through the relief of symptoms' NICE Supportive and Palliative Care for Adults with Cancer Guidance (2004) The main purpose in the use of these therapies is to help: promote relaxation reduce anxiety ease symptoms such as pain, nausea, poor sleep patterns. help the patient find coping mechanisms and strategies The use of complementary therapies: must work along side medical treatment without compromising existing care must be based on current evidence and best practice must be based on consultation, planning, education and demonstrable competence; must be consistent with employer policies. Therapies: The following therapies may be practised across the CSCCN, this list however is not exhaustive, but is in line with those registered by the Complementary and Natural Health Council (CNHC). There are 2 complementary therapy disciplines listed in the cancer peer review measures (acupressure and reiki) which do not currently have CHNC registration nor are there recommended professional bodies listed in the information on the National Cancer Patient Information Pathways. The Cancer Network supports individual Trusts and Locality groups to recommend those therapies in advance of them receiving CNHC registration if they so chose. Acupuncture - Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into the skin at particular points on the body to prevent or treat ill health or maintain good health. i This is thought to stimulate the body's ability to heal. Two main styles of acupuncture are practised in the UK today: traditional Chinese acupuncture and western medical acupuncture. Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 5 Aromatherapy- Aromatherapy uses the healing properties of essential oils, which are extracted from plants, to improve health and help prevent illness. Essential oils can be used in different ways, including massage, baths, inhalation & creams & lotions. Healing – Healing can de defined as the transference of "energy" from a source through a healer, to the patient. It is used for therapeutic purposes. The source of energy is individual to the healer e.g. spiritual energy or universal energy Homeopathy - The basic principle of homeopathy is 'like cures like'. This means that a substance that would produce certain symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat a sick person with very similar symptoms. Massage - Massage therapy is a system of treatment of the soft tissue of the body. It involves stroking, kneading or applying pressure to various parts of the body, with the aim of alleviating aches, pains and musculoskeletal problems. Reiki - The word reiki means universal life energy in Japanese. A reiki practitioner uses this energy to encourage the body to heal itself. There are different levels of reiki practitioners; level one is for people who have learnt reiki to treat themselves, or use informally with friends; level two is practitioner level, to give reiki treatments to patients; level 3 is reiki master or teacher. Practitioners should have attained level 2 as the minimum. (As stated earlier this therapy is not at present recognised by the CNHC Reflexology - Reflexology is based on the principle that certain points on the feet and hands, called reflex points, correspond to various parts of the body and that by applying pressure to these points in a systematic way, a practitioner can help to release tensions and encourage the body's natural healing processes. Shiatsu - Shiatsu is a Japanese therapy, based on the principle that vital energy (know as Ki) flows through the body in a series of channels called meridians. According to this principle, symptoms can be caused when this energy stops flowing freely. Shiatsu practitioners use thumb and palm pressure, stretching and other techniques to restore the balance of energy. 4. QUALIFICATIONS All therapists approved by the network constituent organisations will have relevant qualifications appropriate to their practice as agreed by CSCCN Survivorship Groups. The practitioner should provide written evidence of these qualifications in their area of practice agreed as acceptable by the network and recognised by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) - the sector regulator - or the relevant professional association (see appendix). The course should ideally be at least 6 months in length. It is recommended that all therapists should be CNHC registered either individually or through the organisation for which they are working. 5. RECRUITMENT ISSUES All complementary therapists working in NHS and approved premises, should have been cleared through Human Resources (HR) processes. It is recommended where possible that as part of the interview process a 'trade' test (a relevant person experiences a treatment from the practitioner) is included. If the therapists are volunteers or self employed they should have gained the above clearances from an NHS HR department, or an organisation whose volunteer recruitment Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 6 policy covers these issues on behalf of the Locality Group where the therapist will be practicing (see appendix 2). 6. REGISTER Each locality should hold a register providing a list of complementary practitioners offering their therapy or consultation in NHS organisations or other approved premises of the locality (only NHS owned GP practices need to be included in the register). This should be updated annually. The list should include the following information: Name of the complementary therapist Complementary therapy offered Qualification of the complementary therapist NHS Premises at which the complementary therapist offer therapies Confirmation that the complementary therapist has complied annually with securing professional indemnity insurance and membership of the CNHC (where applicable), unless the therapist is covered by the organisations indemnity insurance. The employment status of the complementary therapist i.e. employed by the NHS, volunteer etc. In order to be compliant The Locality Group must annually, for each practitioner:- See documentation that they are an NHS employee or that their employing or volunteer recruitment organisation's clearance policies are agreed by the chair of the Locality Group. Check that the practitioner holds a professional qualification that is listed within this Network criterion. Check that each practitioner has written information for patients which demonstrates the items shown in (iii) above. Check the consent and check that this demonstrates the requirements in (iv) above. For the compliance of the Locality Group, all of the practitioners on the list should meet the criteria. This information should be verified annually by the Locality Group. An example check list is provided in Appendix 2. List of complementary therapy practitioners endorsed or cited in patient information but do not practice on NHS premises. The Locality Group should produce a list updated annually of those practitioners of complementary therapy (or organisations providing practitioners) who are endorsed or Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 7 cited in the patient information of the MDTs, chemotherapy services and radiotherapy departments, encompassed by the locality, but who do not practice on the NHS premises of the locality confirming that those practitioners or organisations meet the criteria described in sections 7. PRACTITIONER ACCOUNTABILITY Each practitioner is accountable for his or her practice. In addition, healthcare professionals are subject to their own professional regulatory body's guidance on professional accountability. It is recommended that practitioners have individual indemnity insurance. Practitioners are responsible for ensuring that they remain up to date with the knowledge and skills required for the relevant complementary therapy. 8. CONSENT Complementary therapy practitioners must be aware of, and abide by individual Trust/organisations consent policy. It is recommended that patients inform a member of the Multi-Disciplinary Team if they are considering having complementary therapy. Informed consent must be obtained before the complementary therapy practitioner carries out the specific complementary therapy. Informed consent can be said to have been given based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and future consequences of an action. In order to give informed consent, the individual concerned must have adequate reasoning faculties and be in possession of all relevant facts at the time consent is given. For those unable to give informed consent unaided through, for example language or understanding difficulties, the NHS organisation should follow local policies already in place for gaining consent. For the consent to be valid the patient must - Be competent to take the particular decision. - Have received sufficient information make the decision - Not be acting under duress Where appropriate written consent should be obtained. Each therapist must keep clear and concise records of their therapeutic sessions. NHS organisations employing complementary therapists or making use of volunteer complementary therapists should ensure that a clear policy is in place in relation to the recording and storage of notes from complementary therapists. 9. WRITTEN INFORMATION Patients should be provided with written information for the therapies offered. This can either be prepared by the Trust/organisation e.g. in a leaflet which explains all the therapies offered by the trust or in individual leaflets prepared by the therapists. Any information provided by the practitioner to patients must be agreed by the Chair of The Locality Group. It is useful to offer written information about the therapy prior to a session so that the patient can read it before and after. The information should cover the following:- Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 8 A statement to the effect that the therapy is not an alternative method of tumour reduction to the conventional therapies (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine or biological therapy). The leaflet should not promise any cure or particular benefit. Patients should know what they are being offered, what they can expect, how long the sessions will last, what they may feel after a session and what to do if they feel worse after a session. A statement to the effect that all therapists approved by the network will have completed relevant qualifications appropriate to their practice. Information should be made available wherever appropriate in languages and formats understandable by all including ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. The leaflet should not be used by the therapist to advertise their own private practice. Patients wanting to make arrangements with the complementary therapist privately for treatment in their own homes or on non NHS premises must be entitled to do this without pressure from the complementary therapist to continue treatment and incur costs. Where the patient wishes to engage in an arrangement with the complementary therapist outside the NHS setting then this is a matter for the patient and the complementary therapist separate to this guidance. The therapist should make the patient aware of the fees that will be incurred in any private arrangements prior to the patient booking an appointment. A template for patient information has been developed as an appendix to the network guidelines. 10. CONFIDENTIALITY Complementary therapists are bound by both the Code of Ethics of their relevant professional bodies and also by the guidelines of the establishment in which they provide therapy. Confidential information should only be shared with the patient's permission or only when necessary for the patient's welfare. Therapists are subject to the same complaints procedures as all other employees of the establishment in which they work. 11. SUPERVISON AND REVIEW It is recommended that supervision and review is undertaken on a regular basis which would allow the practitioner to demonstrate their personal development. 12. COORDINATOR ROLE It is recommended that a relevant professional coordinates the delivery of complementary therapy services in each NHS organisation or other approved premises. This role would be responsible for ensuring safe and effective provision of complementary therapies. 13. RISK MANAGEMENT AND INCIDENT REPORTING Practitioners should adhere to local policies. Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 9 14. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS The complementary therapy practitioner should adhere to the guidelines set by their relevant professional association and the individual Trust/approved organisations policies. Therapists must adhere to any guidance on toxicity of substances contra indicated for patients with cancer advised by their code of professional conduct and professional indemnity insurance. 15. RESEARCH Every opportunity should be taken and supported for practitioners to participate in research of complementary therapies. 16. EDUCATION NHS organisations should be mindful that complementary therapists may not have specific experience working within an NHS environment and so training should be given to aid them to provide therapies within a clinical environment. Each NHS organisation should develop a protocol for all therapies that are offered on the NHS premises. An example protocol is included in Appendix 4. APPENDIX 1 Complementary Therapy Professional Organisations Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 10 Introduction Complementary Healthcare Regulation Some complementary therapies are currently regulated by law, for example osteopathy and chiropractic. This means they have statutory regulatory bodies, The General Osteopathic Council (GOSC) or The General Chiropractic Council (GCC). Acupuncture and herbal medicine may possibly be statutorily regulated at a point in the future with the Health Professions Council (HPC). A number of the other complementary therapies are now regulated by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the new Government supported voluntary regulator for the sector, which sets standards for a range of therapies including aromatherapy, Alexander technique, Bowen, cranial sacral massage, naturopathy nutritional therapy, reflexology, shiatsu, sports and remedial and yoga. Reiki will be added later in 2010 followed by microsystems acupuncture, hypnotherapy and professional healing at dates to be agreed. Other complementary therapies that are not currently regulated with the CNHC may join one or more of the existing professional associations listed below. .

Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 16 When treating patients with MRSA or contagious illness, full protective precautions should be used: wear disposable gloves and apron and treat as last patient(s) of the day. Clinical checklist/contraindications: 1) Body Temperature Do not treat patients with a high temperature, unless approved by medical staff.. 2) Fluid Retention/Swelling/Lymphoedema Light gentle massage only should be used if appropriate 3) Undiagnosed Lumps or Areas of Inflammation Very hot areas can indicate an infection, inflammation or intense cellular activity. In oncology patients, cancerous sites are often hot. Therapists should check with staff first to establish appropriateness of treatment. 4) Skin Problems/Rashes These could be circulatory problems or reaction to medication/diet. AVOID THE AREA OF ANY RASHES – report this finding. 5) Pinprick Bruising/Low Platelet Count These are indicators of a very low blood count. Check with nursing staff or medical staff before treating. Massage very gently with careful light strokes to help the body feel warmer. It may be suitable to massage hands and feet only in order to avoid affected areas. 6) Radiotherapy Radiotherapy treatment entry and exit sites should be avoided for up to six weeks following treatment, or while skin is still sore.

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR AROMATHERAPY Use 0.5-1% dilution of essential oils maximum however dilution maybe increased at therapist discretion for specific symptoms e.g. pain/nausea with liaison with medical staff. OTHER THERAPIES Whatever the therapy, the following general considerations should be regarded: the patient's physical and emotional state treatment programme side effects of treatment physical problems related to the patient's condition. Therapy should be gentle with the main aim of relaxation and relief of stress and stress related symptoms. Therapists should, where possible, liaise with the person's medical or nursing team where treatment is imminent, ongoing or recently completed. GENERAL GUIDANCE WHEN GIVING A SESSION Hands must be washed immediately before and after treatments are given, and alcohol gel should be used in accordance with ward policy. No jewellery or watches should be worn on hands or lower arms. Adherence to the dress code should be carefully observed. Aprons should always be worn when working with any immune compromised patient. All therapists should establish a working pressure that is comfortable for the patient at all times. The length of each session will be in agreement with the patient and in recognition of their specific needs at the time of the session. However, an average of 20-30 minutes is recommended, unless the patient is able to tolerate more without being over tired. Network Complementary Therapies Guidelines Reviewed May 2012 18 TRAINING Training should be offered on the management of patients with cancer and palliative care needs. . EVALUATION Information on complementary therapies should be collected regarding: Number of sessions given Type of treatment given Oils used during session (where relevant) SUPERVISION Supervision is not a mandatory requirement but is recommended in the interests of safe best practice. Many therapists feel that their work is best supervised by someone with in- depth knowledge of their subject and as such seek outside professional supervision. Supervision engaged in outside of the hospital is at the sole discretion the individual therapist and at their personal cost. PRIVATE PRACTICE The Trust recognises that volunteers also practice privately in their own time. However, volunteers should make it clear to all their clients that their volunteering within the NHS is totally unrelated to their private practice as a therapist. Volunteers may not seek to deliberately recruit patients during their volunteering for the Trust, but may in the course of discussions give information about their private practice.
