Great Headphones.

The sound is great, the Bass is deep, but doesn't drown out the highs and lows. They are comfortable to wear for long periods, however people with larger ears may have problems as the hollowing of the cup could be a bit too small. They look and feel great however. These are headphones which are relatively chunky too, so they may be a bit of a hassle for some, but thats personal preference, not a design flaw. I personally think these are great headphones and for the price, they are a must have!. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new pair of headphones to wear out and about. The interchangeable parts also allow you to make them look snazzy and stand out from the crowd! …

Although it has a 66% acceptance rate, the classes are far from easy. Class sizes usually fall between 6 and 30 so participation is a must. Professors are fully invested in the enrichment of the students, so as students, we are expected to be focused on knowledge as well.
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 30 reviews for Ohio Wesleyan University
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask Ohio Wesleyan University a question
Ohio Wesleyan University is fun, but challenging. It is fun in the sense that there are a lot of clubs, groups, and events to attend on campus. It is challenging because of the classes, they have to be taken seriously or they will become overwhelming.
Read MoreThe campus is small in size, but it is extremely diverse and is home to many international students. With that said, there is a grand array of clubs, sports, events, languages to take, and things to do. Our motto at Ohio Wesleyan University, is to Never have an ordinary day!
Read MoreThe people are friendly and helpful. They really make you feel welcome. The school is small, intimate, and truly personalized.
Read MoreOhio Wesleyan is situated in quaint, rural mid-west environment with a 10:1 student to faculty ratio, making it an awesome place to learn first-hand from a very talented and dedicated group of academics. It offers a broad range of student activities, ranging from special-interest clubs to foreign study programs to highly-competitive Division 3 athletics. For the student seeking a high-quality education without the distractions of a large city, I strongly recommend visiting OWU in Delaware, OH.
Read MoreOWU is a family of students, professors, faculty and community members of Delaware. Everyone at OWU encourages others to excel in all possible ways. Thinking and venturing outside the box is necessary to keep up with academics at OWU.
Read MoreWhile the university is a bit small, the learning atmosphere created at OWU is astounding. You can reach any goal you may have in an atmosphere that promotes learning and growth. If a liberal arts education is something you are looking for, Ohio Wesleyan is one of the best schools for it.
Read MoreThe buildings at Ohio Wesleyan are beautiful. The music department is not the greatest but it is definitely a fun place to be. The academic side is extremely time consuming.
Read MorePeople are super friendly. It's a small college. It has a very good food point system.
Read MoreOhio Wesleyan's greatest assets are the professors and academic options. If you want to do something you can from creating your own major to triple majoring. As for campus life, that is probably the biggest downside to life here at Ohio Wesleyan specifically certain dorms.

I certainly agree with OP. My Grandparents were so very proud to become citizens. They carefully kept all of their documentation including results of exams not out of fear, but out of the great pride they had in being part of our republic. They also learned to speak ENGLISH.
Mine 2 #1 My Grand mother came over from Sweden when my Mother was 3. Had to have proof that she could work and learned English. She was very proud to be an American. Living in Ca. the stores have everything written in Spanish and their Kids in our schools are bringing all schools down. Not to sound racist, but has anyone mentioned the gang activity? They are not all model citizens as the president would like you to think...
Obie standing there with no honest brain cells, priceless!
No mention that the gratuitous trip by jumbo jet and assorted chase planes dumped more deadly carbon in the atmosphere than you will in a lifetime, if you chose to believe such silliness counts like Dear Leader aclaims.
This is all Obama is good at; photo ops, empty speeches, opponent demonization and spending other people´s money! Just like the good little Marxist and America-hater that he is! All you fools that voted for this monster, enjoy the fruits of you stupidity!
@whitneypitcher : The media won´t report it, but Pres. Obama´s immigration speech today cost taxpayers $519.82 per word.

Journalist Jack Germond, One Of The 'Boys On The Bus,' Dies
Originally published on Wed August 14, 2013 6:07 pm
Political journalist and author Jack Germond died Wednesday at his home in West Virginia. He was 85.
The longtime columnist died just as he'd finished writing a political novel titled A Small Story for Page Three, reports USA Today.
"He went peacefully and quickly after just completing this novel, a tale he had pondered while writing columns, campaign books, a memoir and covering our politics and politicians," his wife, Alice, said in a note to his colleagues, according to The Associated Press.
Germond had been a reporter since 1953, when he began at a local Missouri paper. He later rose to become political editor at the Washington Star, collaborated on a regular column with the journalist Jules Witcover for the Baltimore Sun, wrote books — including the autobiographical reminiscences Fat Man in a Middle Seat and Fat Man Fed Up — and gained a following with TV political commentary.
But Germond became best known after joining PBS' The McLaughlin Group, where he was a regular panelist for 15 years. He later ended the association with a pugnacious and short fax to the show's host, saying "Bye-bye," according to the AP.
He retired from writing columns in January 2001, telling NPR's Morning Edition at the time that he was just "sick" of politics, especially 2000 presidential candidates Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore. "It's the way the campaigns have become totally contrived programmed events," he said. "You don't get to know the candidates very well — the reporting on events is determined by the campaigns, rather than by any news standard."
Germond, along with Witcover and former AP political writer Walter Mears, was one of the characters featured in Timothy Crouse's The Boys on the Bus, a look at the life of political reporters during the 1972 presidential campaign, AP notes.
As for a life in journalism, Germond lamented the choices of young reporters who "want to start at the top" and cover national figures before learning the trade working for smaller papers. "Nobody wants to start at the Joseph City, Mo., Post-Review, which is where I started," he told NPR. "Covering city hall in a small city is a great story compared to covering Congress, which is a bore."
As Reuters reports, Germond noted that despite his extensive knowledge of modern politics, his appearance put off potential employers:
"While his writings and commentary were staples of Washington journalism, Germond said his looks and mannerisms sometimes worked against him.
"He said he once did not get a job because the executives saw 'a fat bald guy who looked unkempt even in a freshly pressed suit and a Brooks Brothers shirt, who played poker and the horses rather than golf, who didn't give dinner parties except for friends, and who sometimes drank too much. I was ... a cultural misfit.' "

After three printings of Fred Marchant's Tipping Point, winner of the 1993 Washington Prize, the best-selling Word Works book was launched in second edition with preface by Nick Flynn at the 2013 Associated Writing Programs (AWP) Convention and Bookfair in Boston. The launch included the AWP panel "Poets Look Back to Thier First Books: Friends Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Fred Marchant's Tipping Point."
Nick Flynn writes, "Marchant's poems move always and fully into and through a language which is not pointing at any one thing as the source of this becoming—not at the war which is the shadow behind every word, not at the father, looming, then fading—but at the seemingly quotidian (whiskey, leaves, roseate spoonbills), the stuff of this world that surrounds and props up these larger truths. Marchant's language is not used as a tool or wielded as a weapon, but is returned to us as creative power."
Cornelius Eady has selected Bernadette Geyer of Vienna, VA, as winner of the 2012 Hilary Tham Capital Collection for her poetry manuscript, The Scabbard of Her Throat. Eady selected her manuscript from a set of ten unidentified manuscripts submitted by poets who volunteer for various projects at The Word Works. This book was launched at the AWP Bookfair with a booksigning and a special off-campus reading March 8, 2013.
Geyer is the author of a poetry chapbook, What Remains, and recipient of a 2010 Strauss Fellowship from the Arts Council of Fairfax County. Her poetry has appeared in North American Review, The Midwest Quarterly, Verse Daily, and elsewhere. The Scabbard of Her Throat was a finalist in the 2011 Brittingham and Pollak Prizes and in the 2009 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize. Geyer works as a copy editor in the Washington, DC, area.
B. K. Fischer of Sleepy Hollow, NY, won the 2012 Washington Prize for her poetry manuscript, St. Rage's Vault. Final judges Karren L. Alenier, Jennifer Barber, J. H. Beall, and Nancy White chose Fischer's work from 302 manuscripts submitted by American and Canadian poets.

Developer Stefan Essen recently demoed an iOS 4.3 untethered jailbreak exploit on video. Today on Twitter, he has stated that the exploit has been turned over to the iPhone Dev-Team. He stated when he released the demo video that he had no intention of releasing a jailbreak tool himself.
What the iPhone Dev-Team will do with the untether isn't completely clear at this point, but we can hope that it allows for a untethered jailbreak in the near future under iOS 4.3. For all of you iPad 2 users out there, Stefan Essen has already stated that this exploit won't do you any good.
The iPhone Dev-Team is currently beta testing the exploit. We'll see if they decide to implement it in a tool in the near future. How many of you are waiting to upgrade and still on iOS 4.2.1?
Yes!! Finally!
Hope we will get the Redsnow Jailbreak soon. For latest on iPhone 4,iPad2,Jailbreak and Android visit www.iphonegeeks.co Thanks
Do you mean 4.3.1? or is it the same as 4.3? I'm just waiting on that jailbreak and the unlock so can add a little value to my phone when I sell it in the future.
I've the same question: 4.3 only, or 4.3.1 as well? The only thing I really wish to do is "unlock" after jailbreaking, as I need to change SIM cards when traveling in Singapore and Indonesia (and maybe have to use that sim card-cropping tool) to use my mobile accounts within those countries.
@John I have found a website that let's you download a program that can unlock and jailbreak so here it is:http://iphone.dailymotion.com/video/xhkbrrhow-to-untethered-jailbreak-4-3-ios-free-downloadvideogames#
Copy and paste the whole link okay from http to #
Your welcome in advance :P
Guess he was just trying to avoid the legal issues Geo Hotz had to deal with. This was the right thing to do in that case. I take back what I said about him when he released the video but said he wasn't releasing the jb.
They'll probably hold it hostage for another 5 months so "They don't burn it"..
Yep, I'm still sitting on 4.2.1 waiting for the 4.3.1 JB. 4.2.1 is the first time I jailbroke so I'm curious how the upgrade process works, and how much I'll have to re-do (like organizing apps in infinifolder or settings to bitesms, etc.)
Basically everything will have to be redone. JB doesn't really offer a "traditional upgrade", you re-jailbreak your phone.
Battery life is so improved with 4.3.1 on my jailbroken iPad that I would not go back to 4.3, even if it were an untethered jailbreak. Hopefully they can make it work in 4.3.1.
Still on 4.2.1 jb, first time to jailbreak. Not upgrading until a 4.3.1 jb is released.
Love the capabilities on the jailbreak except the battery life is ridiculous.... drains about10% with sporadic use. Heavy use is even faster.
So are we talking days, weeks, months before the dev team releases something? I have never jailbroke my phone before, so I haven't really kept up with the dev team. Do they have a bad track record of taking a long time to release a jailbreak?
Unfortunately, I upgraded to 4.3 too fast and was unaware that I couldn't revert to 4.2.1 without the proper shsh blob. Here's hoping it's days and not weeks.
Have iPhone 4 on iOS 4.1 jb just for MyWi, no other jb apps interest me. Waiting for untethered jb to upgrade to iOS 4.3.1. This also was my 1st jb, so also curious as to the new jb/upgrade procedure. I won't jb my iPad, don't need to.
Why jailbreak?
The BEST reason is:
(1)BiteSMS (use it and you'll NEVER go without it again!)
Other Essential Apps:
(3)Pandora Skip (unlimited music skips)
(4)3G Unrestrictor (use/download apps that require a wifi connection while on 3G)
(5)Wi-Fi Sync (sync phone with itunes wirelessly)
(6)LockInfo (view email, call phone favorites, view notifications, & sms from the lockscreen or homescreen/in app via infoshade)
If you only have these apps installed, your iPhone experience is MUCH MUCH more efficient and pleasurable!
You should give them a try!
Enjoy :^D
Still on jailbroken 4.2.1. Will not do any upgrade until new JB is available. Dev Team: please help us. Thanks for all of your help in the past.
I am stuck on 4.3.0 .... I saw that there was a 4.3 jailbreak, but didnt realize it was tetherd. Now I a stuck on this, with out any JailBreak!!! This sucks.. I need a Jailbreak please... i have som many apps i cannot use, since I lost my Jailbreak!! I am willing to pay for this!! come on!
lol you obviously don't pay attention to articles when reading about jailbreaks otherwise you wouldn't be whining right now about being jailbreakless lol but for the record, what is peoples problem with tethered ?? I honestly never reboot or let my phone die so there is no issue with it being tehered or not, if you wanted 1 so badly as u say you would use tethered.
iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4 and iPad 1, so yes, I'd love to get the add'l AirPlay features, but other than that, it is my iPad 2 that I would love to get jailbroken, so that I can finally sell the original.
Do we know if there is anything in the way of that in the pipeline? comex is working on something for the iPad 2 or no?
I don't require a jailbreak on my iPad, but it is a nice perk. However, 4.3.1 on the iPad 1 makes it amazingly good with Homesharing. I don't have to worry about resyncing it to my phone to get the latest podcasts i download (unless I plan on leaving the house for an extended period of time), I can just play over my Wifi.
I tend to go to sleep with a gaming podcast playing in the background. My iPad 1 was at 59% last night, streaming a podcast via Homesharing. When I woke up 8 hours later, battery life was at 39%. An unplugged laptop would not be able to compete with that. :D
In terms of donating, when I'm buying (many) apps through Cydia, am I somehow contributing to the teams that develop the jailbreak tool? It seems like Cydia (and the jailbreak devs) should somehow contribute to the jailbreak teams, because without a jailbreak, Cydia would not exist, right?
Just to be clear, he doesn't have an "untethered exploit" but rather an "untether exploit" which is used to convert to an untethered jailbreak after jailbreaking with a different exploit.
I don't understand why people jailbreak, thereby voiding the warranty, risking stability problems and opening the door to viruses. Seriously, Allyson don't you think Android is a better fit for you? Android central is full of people who root their phones and use pirated apps.
lol @ Nick, you clearly know nothing about how jailbreaking works, why do you void your warranty? if you are stupid enough to jailbreak without first gathering information about the intended jailbreak and stability of it then you deserve all you get but the main point being that you restore with itunes to stock ios and it's back to how you bought it so explain how my warranty is voided and how any1 knows it's even been jailbroken lol
Oh I forgot 1 more thing, you impied people jailbreak solely for pirated apps, that actually isn't the case, I personally could't care less for the apps, the only reason I jailbreak my iPhone is to theme and have access to the internals and many tweaks from cydia which make the overall look and feel a much more pleasurable 1, afterall, I paid for it unlocked from apple so I want the choice to do with it as I see fit !
I spoke to an Apple genius who confirmed jailbreaking is risky, dangerous, voids warranty and puts you at risk for viruses. He says it also affects the general performance of the phone. He advised, 'Don't do it'
Mixing socially with people puts me at risk of viruses, stepping off the curb is risky and dangerous all which can void my "life" warranty, I guess you won't be doing any of them either lol .. Apple genius ha, my mate works in an apple store and guess what, he would disagree with you
i'm still on 4.1 here. haven't seen a good reason to upgrade in a LONG time. i still don't. i would like the ability to install some 4.3 specific apps and for my alarm clock to be fixed though.
good news..if you look at musclenerd's twitter he says the jailbreak is rock solid 100% stable. They're just working out the kings in the process. Shouldn't be much longer now.
The dev team is totally full of fail. Remember that they released a video to prove they had a jailbreak MONTHS before the impending release of 4.3 essentially forced the waffling losers to finally release what is STILL labeled a Release Candidate.
Geohot's still the only guy to release a stable, good jailbreak without bragging about it for months and then producing nothing until circumstances forced him to.
Sup people If u wanna jailbreak iOS 4.3

Opening a new business
by boots, Window Shopper
- Created: November 12, 2009, 3:20 pm
I am opening a new business selling fashion boots and I'm wondering how to introduce myself to the SBA for assistance.
Message Edited by NicoleD on 11-14-2009 01:51 PM
BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 11/13/2009 - 12:15 pm
It depends on the type of assistance you want. If you want counseling, then call your local SBA office and make an appointment to meet with a SCORE counselor or call your nearest small business development center and meet with a counselor. An SBDC counselor can arrange to have market research completed for you if you need it.
If you are thinking about securing an SBA loan, then you need to contact a bank that specializes in SBA loans. The SBA guarantees loans; it doesn't issue them. Before you meet with a banker you will need to have completed your business plan, including at least three years of pro forma financial statements. Pro forma statements are estimates of your anticipated income and expenses over a period of time. A SCORE or sbdc counselor can help you prepare them.
ChristineL | Former Moderator | 11/13/2009 - 3:34 pm
Hi boots,
BizResearcher is right- you should contact your local SBDC office for assistence.
If you are looking for grants, you can try our Loans and Grants Tool. Just plug in your information and it will point you to the loans and grants that are available to you.

Beer pong: it's all grown up. (Skip's Garage / May 9, 2012) |
Some people know what beer pong is all about, while others do not.
It's a game involving two teams, a table of some kind (a piece of wood will do, until you get serious), ping pong balls and tall plastic cups of beer. Cups are racked, much like billiards balls, on either side of the table in various formations: 10- or six-cup full racks, in a diamond, small three-cup triangles, two cups side-by-side, or in the stoplight (picture red, yellow and green cups) or "I" formations (two cups, one above the other). Sometimes an isolated cup (or "iso") will hang off to the side for an added level of difficulty.
To start a game, a member from each team grabs a ball, locks eyes with the other team, and shoots to determine who goes first. "You keep going until someone makes it," says Todd, a 24-year-old longtime player from Granby (who didn't want to use his last name). "Or if there's a champion on the table [i.e. a team that won the last round], that team goes first." Teams get one shot per member; if you score, the other team drinks. Shots are lobbed in the air (one cup downed by the other squad if it goes in, and no defending) or on a bounce (two cups if made, and defending is allowed). Cups are filled to the plastic line, roughly a fifth of the cup ("basically enough to chug in three or four sips," Todd says, "depending on how reckless you want to be"), and playing with water is allowed.
"I personally prefer to play with beer in the cup," says Todd. "There are reasons behind that."
Beyond certain basics, however, the rules get pretty baroque, with as many variations, regional and otherwise, as can be dreamed up, sort of the adult equivalent of the elementary school blacktop game four square, where kids spend more time arguing about the rules than actually playing.
"Let's say you are playing a long time," Todd says. "You are supposed to chug your cup, but if you can't for some reason and it's difficult, you could hold onto that cup while you play. If the other team gets it in the cup you are holding for any reason, the game's over. They can bounce it off your chest and have it fall in." (To keep that from happening, Todd typically holds his hand over the rim.)
Beer pong probably originated with early hominids, who chucked small bird eggs at bowls of animal blood arranged on stone tables. The earliest verifiable records (Wikipedia), however, say the game started in Northeastern college frat houses in the 1950s. Today, it's graduated to a competitive sport; at the annual World Series of Beer Pong in Las Vegas, teams play for $50,000 and the title of World Champion. (The Vegas competition was the focus of Last Cup: Road to the World Series of Beer Pong, a 2008 documentary that's currently streaming on Netflix.)
"It's one of the oldest games around," says K.J. Camera, who runs Skip's Garage, on online dealer of beer pong tables and related equipment, out of his South Windsor home. "There won't be a point when it's not popular."
Camera started his business four years ago, working with table manufacturers to get competitive prices and using organic search-engine optimization strategies to avoid paying for advertising. He doesn't carry any inventory. His customers, he says, are the expected types — college kids and university campuses — but also "a lot of bars and restaurants, some older men and ladies, some in their mid-30s who just enjoy playing the game." Skip's Garage also sells products and tables with logos licensed by the National Football League (although they can't use the term "beer pong," opting instead for "tailgate tables").
"People who go to Steelers games will use them to put food on, to play beer pong," Camera says. One top-seller is the Tailgate Party Mate, an aluminum table that hooks onto your car or truck's trailer hitch and unfolds when you reach your parking space. Another popular item is the inflatable beer pong table, a 3'x6' floating vinyl device, with holes cut into it for the cups for use in your swimming pool. "These guys in Connecticut started it up five or six years ago," Camera said. "It's a huge summer product."
Zach Lowery, a 29-year-old senior animator at Volition (he's the lead animator for the popular Saints Row: The Third video game) lives in Champaign, Ill. He began playing beer pong, naturally, at 18 as a freshman at Full Sail University in Orlando, Fla. His roommate, a Darien, Conn. native, introduced him to the game, which became a regular pastime.
"It was a college-buddy thing," Lowery says. "We played all through college, learning all the rules and what part of the country everybody was from." When Lowery moved back to Louisiana after college, none of his friends there had heard of it, so he got them hooked. They initially played on a closet door. "My wife and I just got married," he says, "and we didn't have a table, so we laid a door across a garbage can."
When Lowery moved to Champaign to work at Volition, he and a buddy started playing on his back patio on a little outdoor table. "We decided to build a table because it wasn't working out well," Lowery says. "We went to Home Depot, bought some wood, painted it up. Now any time someone has a party, they'll say, 'Can you bring it over?' It definitely makes the rounds around here. It's the biggest draw. A lot of people who play don't even like beer. It's the competition thing, talking trash and all that. There's definitely skill involved."
Of course, you have to be able to hold your drinks. If you win, you stay on the table and face a crew that perhaps hasn't been imbibing as steadily. Most games come down to a couple of cups on each side. You'll end up drinking about a beer per game; if you go on a good run, you've easily had about six or seven beers.
"Most of the time," Lowery says, "the ground rules are set at the beginning of the day. The first game sets the tone, and depending what part of the country you are from there are different rules." Sometimes Lowery's friends play with what's called a "death cup": both players on one team toss a ball simultaneously, and if they land in the same cup, the game's instantly over and the other team has to drink everything. "It's like sinking the eight ball on the break," Lowery says.
For Todd, the Granby resident, it's definitely a way to do some serious drinking. "If you use water," he says, "it's less conducive to that. But if you fill the cups with beer, it's a binge-drinking thing." Usually, he says, he'll pour three cans of beer for a 10-beer rack, or two beers for a six-cup. He got started in high school, where it was more common than you'd think. "Everybody played, drank, it was very competitive," he says. "I hung out with a variety of different people. It seemed to be played among every [social] group. There isn't really a set personality. But then I wasn't hanging out with book nerds."
Girls too, which, at least in high school, called for a few gender-specific rules. "If [the ball] is spinning around [the rim]," Todd says, "guys are allowed to pick it out with their fingers before it touches the rim. Girls are supposed to blow it out and guys can finger it. I guess it's a sexual kind of thing there." ("We stopped doing that after high school," he adds.) Camera says beer pong has progressed from a game to a sport. "It's a very competitive social team game," Camera said. "That's one of the biggest things about it. It's notoriously thought of as a binge-drinking game, but you can't be good at it if you are intoxicated." The players who enter the Vegas tournament, he says, will drink and have fun, but they are paying more attention to winning. Still, Camera says, "I played socially for a long time. I can't remember going to a function in college where there wasn't a table set up."
Out in Champaign, since Lowery's daughter was born, the amount of time he's able to spend on beer pong is restricted. And, as skilled as he feels he's become, Lowery's never participated in the Vegas World Series.
"By the time that came about," he said, "I was not convincing my wife I was hanging out in Vegas for a weekend. A bachelor party? Different story."

Comments: I am the owner of TredmillDoctor.com and ranked the ACT Pro Elliptcal a Best Buy for the $1000 - $1299 price range. This unit I believe is the best small footprint ellptical under $2000 this year. With a little longer warranty and an upgraded linkage assembly the ACT Pro is a great machine if you have limited space for an elliptical. We know that NordicTrack likes to tout their SpaceSaver ellipticals, but do you ever see someone actually fold one up? We don't. I would suggest that you just buy an elliptical with a smaller footprint.

FibratesWhat are examples of fibrates available in the U.S.? Examples of fibrates include:
How do fibrates work? Fibrates are primarily effective in lowering triglycerides and, to a lesser extent, in increasing HDL cholesterol levels. Who should not use fibrates? Individuals who are allergic to fibrates, or who have liver disease (including biliary cirrhosis or gallbladder disease) or severe kidney disease, should not take these agents. Use: Fibrates are typically ingested with the morning and/or evening meals. Drug or food interactions: When combined with statins, an increased risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis may occur. Fibrates increase the effect of warfarin (Coumadin) and oral diabetic drugs [such as glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta, Glynase Prestab) or repaglinide (Prandin)]; therefore, closer monitoring of your bleeding time and blood sugar will be required. Patients taking cyclosporine may have decreased levels (your doctor will monitor you and determine if a dose adjustment is needed). Side effects: Common side effects of fibrates include upset stomach, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting. Muscle aches and pain also occur. Rarely, these muscle-related symptoms are associated with damage to muscles that releases chemicals into the blood that that can damage the kidney. Muscle damage is of greatest concern when gemfibrozil is combined with statins. The formation of gallstones and gallbladder surgery have been associated with the use of fibrates.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Yvonne Hissom wonders what her late father and grandfather would think about the dwindling support of the Kanawha Valley's oldest mission project.
"We're not getting the help we used to. Since the economy hit, our donations have decreased, but our clientele hasn't. People don't stop needing," said Hissom, who took over as director of the Hissom Intercity Mission when her father, Earl G. Hissom III, died in 2007.
HIM has been serving Charleston's needy since 1934 and operates a food pantry, a thrift store and offers transitional housing and other services.
Since 2009, the mission's list of people in need of its services has increased by 30 percent while its donations have decreased by 80 percent.
The mission used to receive about 30,000 pounds of food donations a month. Now, average shipments are about 4,000 pounds, according to Yvonne.
"My family's motto, and the mission's motto, has always been, 'We see a need, we fill it.' It's sad because this is the first time in years I've had to actually look at people and tell them I can't help," she said. "We are the people who are supposed to help others, and we need help ourselves."
The mission is supported entirely by donations and has never received federal funding.
While the organization is struggling financially, it is not lacking in support from volunteers.
"We have a small but mighty army. Most of our volunteers come from our food pantry line, and they are wonderful, caring people. They're really amazing," Yvonne said. "The people who have less often give more."
David Groves has been working as a volunteer at the mission for 15 years.

This is really useful. The current 10min is useful too, but if you could make it such that we are able select them from option, that be great.
Ideally, I hope to have two kind of skips at the same time, ie. up and down button for 5min skip/rewind and
the Forward and backward button for 30sec skip/rewind.
Hope it will be seriosly considered. Thanks

Room 308 will be abuzz three times over the next two days with discussion of the biology and pathophysiology of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These oral sessions will occur today from 7:00 to 8:30 a.m. and 2:45 to 4:15 p.m. and on Tuesday from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m.
The first session today (abstracts 175-180) will focus on the genetics and genomics of AML and promises to have a lot of international flare with talks from investigators from France, Germany, Israel, Japan, and the United States. Highlights will include the emergence of MYH11 and NOTCH1 as possible recurrent mutations in normal cytogenetic AML, use of genome-wide analysis of alternative splicing as a method to identify potential new therapeutic targets, increased transcriptional activity secondary to NPM1 mutation, and results of a phosphatome and kinome RNAi screen performed in four separate leukemia cell lines.
This afternoon's session (abstracts 499-504) will focus on how the immune system is affected by AML specifically by evading immune surveillance and suppressing NK cell function. In addition, there will be discussions on how microRNAs affect both the onset and cellular differentiation of AML and the emergence of the AXL/GAS6 pathway as a novel and specific method of targeting FLT3-ITD positive AML.
The final session on Tuesday morning (abstracts 871-876) will concentrate on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and AML in Down syndrome patients. In terms of APL, there will be a discussion of the importance of risk-adapted therapy in children with newly diagnosed APL, and for adults, a population-based study suggesting a possible higher early death rate and lower overall survival than what is reported in clinical trials.

Sediment work scheduled for upper Lake Mills delta
Published on Wed, Aug 11, 2010 by
Olympic National Park News Release
Read More
Sediment Work Scheduled for Upper Lake Mills Delta; Reservoir Will Close to Boating August 26 – October 15
With removal of the two Elwha River dams set to begin next year changes are coming to Olympic National Park's Elwha Valley. A culvert replacement project to allow fish passage at Griff Creek is nearly complete, and several other projects are slated to begin later this month.
Beginning on August 26, contractors will begin moving heavy equipment to the south end of the Lake Mills reservoir. The equipment will be used to remove trees and create a pilot channel through the extensive delta at the head of the reservoir.
The Lake Mills reservoir, along with nearby trails and an upstream section of the Elwha River within Olympic National Park will close to all boating for approximately eight weeks beginning on August 26.
The delta, created by the river's sediments as they flow downstream, has become overgrown in recent years by a large number of alder trees. As the trees and root systems have grown, the delta has become more stable and less easily eroded by the river. This project will help maximize erosion through the delta before, during and after dam removal.
"Once dam removal begins, the river will carry large amounts of sediment downstream where it will restore fish habitat, shellfish beds and beaches along the Strait of Juan de Fuca," said Karen Gustin, Olympic National Park Superintendent. "Creating a pilot channel and removing trees from the delta will give the river the head start that it needs to erode the sediment."
As the reservoir levels drop during and after dam removal, the river will naturally erode and carry downstream the sediments that have accumulated in the reservoirs, replenishing downstream spawning beds and the estuary and beaches at the river's mouth.
The entire Lake Mills reservoir and the Elwha River between Goblins Gate and Lake Mills will be closed to boating. Kayakers using the River will need to exit the river at Goblins Gate and hike out the Rica Canyon Trail and Elwha River Trail to the Whiskey Bend Trailhead.
The Lake Mills boat launch, boat launch access road and the West Lake Mills Trail and the Upper Lake Mills Trail will also close during this period.
"We ask for the public's patience during this period and regret any inconvenience that may be caused by this closure," said Olympic National Park Superintendent Karen Gustin. "This project must be finished before the fall rains arrive so we can maximize winter erosion, accomplish the work safely and be prepared for dam removal to begin next year."
In addition to removing trees and creating a pilot channel through the middle of the delta, workers will reposition logs within the river and reservoir to help redirect the river towards the new pilot channel. The likelihood of floating and submerged logs within the existing river channel and reservoir, along with heavy equipment at work, necessitate the boating
Removing of the two dams on the Elwha River will begin next year, setting in motion one of the largest restoration project in U.S. history. The Elwha River Restoration project includes:
Removing Elwha & Glines Canyon Dams
The largest dam removal in U.S. history will free the Elwha River after 100 years. Salmon populations will swell from 3,000 to more than 300,000 as all five species of Pacific salmon return to more than 70 miles of river and stream.
Renewing a Culture
The returning salmon and restored river will renew the culture of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, who have lived along the Elwha River since time immemorial. Tribal members will have access to sacred sites now inundated and cultural traditions can be reborn. The NPS and the Tribe are primary partners on this project.
Restoring an Ecosystem
This project creates a living laboratory where people can watch and learn what happens when salmon return after a century to a still wild and protected ecosystem. The return of fish will bring bear, eagles, and other animals back to an ecosystem that has been deprived of this food source for a century.
Economic Benefits
Just as the dams played a vital role in the history and development of the area, removing them will create new opportunities for growth and regional vitality.
Restoring the Coast
Removing the dams will reestablish the natural flow of sediment from the mountains to the coast— rebuilding wetlands, beaches and the estuary at the river's mouth.

Wizards Win Open Cup 1-0 In Overtime
Sep. 23, 2004
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Wednesday, Sept. 22) – The Kansas City Wizards brought the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup home to the tournament's namesake as his Wizards topped the Chicago Fire 1-0 on an Igor Simutenkov free kick in the 95th minute. Josh Wolff was fouled 20 yards from goal by Evan Whitfield of the Chicago Fire. Simutenkov stepped up to take the kick drove a bending shot through a spot that teammate Alex Zotinca vacated in the wall. Once through the wall, Fire goalkeeper Henry Ring dove to his right to make the save. He tipped the ball straight up in the air, off the cross bar, and back down off the back of his hand and into the net.

Community Engagement
Community Engagement > Serving Communities > Outreach Connections > Junction City
Community Engagement > Serving Communities > Outreach Connections > Junction City
Location: Junction City, Kansas
Outreach Dept: RHES
Program: Kansas Recruitment Center
Kathy Linde, ARNP, was eager to find a spot in Kansas to begin her new career. Working in a small community is important to Linde. She likes getting to know the patient and their family on a personal level, and taking care of all the different age groups seen in family care.
Because she and her family are concentrated in and around Yates Center, they were excited to move just down the road. "I really can't see myself working anywhere else but a rural community," said Linde.
Konza Prairie Community Health & Dental Center worked with the Kansas Recruitment Center (KRC) to recruit Linde. Michael Dolan, Konza COO, is excited to have her at their facility and is extremely thankful for KRC's assistance in her placement.
"The KRC is important to our clinic because they understand the mission of a community health center," said Dolan.
Small clinics and hospitals operate on a small budget, but are expected to provide first class service. The only way to accomplish that is with dedicated medical, and dental providers who enjoy the challenge of working in a rural setting. Dolan says KRC finds these people, and at a very reasonable cost.
"KRC was an excellent mediator between the two of us. They helped with the communications flow, and subsequent interviews," said Dolan. "Without KRC, I am positive that we would never have found Kathy."
Before her placement, Linde was one of seven students at the KU School of Nursing who took part in a recently developed rural nurse practitioner practicum. Each student participated in different rural Kansas communities including: Clay Center, Washington, Marysville, Chanute, Kingman, Seneca, and Yates Center.
Linde lived and participated in her practicum in Yates Center, learning that working in a rural area was something she wanted to continue. During the Spring 2008 semester she worked with John Atkin, MD who was chosen as Family Physician of the Year. Linde says Dr. Atkin has been in practice for 45 years, and she feels very privileged to have followed him.
"He still makes house calls, and he is one of the few physicians I know of that still publishes his home phone number," said Linde. "He is one of a kind and I was very lucky to have him as a preceptor."
Linde says working in a rural community is unique, because frequently the smaller clinics are the only source of medical care that the patient has for miles. The closest hospital is 22 miles from Yates Center, so people sometimes come into the clinic with illness or injuries that should be seen in an emergency room.
"I really can't see myself working anywhere else but a rural community," said Linde.

Mr. Robinson reports from the Council of State, the State of Fact concerning the Trade between England and France, as it stands by the Treaties; and the late Prohibition of our Manufactures; and also the humble Petition, and the humble Remonstrance, of the said Governor and Company of Merchants of London, trading into France: With the Opinion of the Council, That the said Petition and Remonstrance doth contain a Proposition of a good Means for the Redress and Removal of the Obstructions which lie upon the Trade between the Two Nations of England and France.
The humble Petition of the Governor and Company of Merchants of London, trading into France, was this Day read.
The humble Remonstrance of the Governor and Company of Merchants of London, trading into France; the State of Fact concerning free Trade and Intercourse between England and France, as it stands agreed by the Treaties; as also what hath been done to the Infringing thereof; was this Day read; and was in these Words; viz.
