The Hokies added another four-star player for their 2015 class. Find out who inside!
The fourth-ranked Virginia Tech's women's soccer team dropped a heartbreaker to no. 3 Florida State at home.
An in-depth breakdown of the numbers behind Virginia Tech's ranking compared to LSU.
We examine the play that resulted in Cline's first touchdown catch as a Hokie during the game against PIttsburgh.
It's that time again; Gobbler Country's staff discusses what we learned from the Hokies playing the Pirates this past weekend, and what we think will happen heading into the Saturday's showdown against Marshall.
The Virginia Tech football team finished rough in 2011. With Logan Thomas returning in 2012, the outlook is bright.
Head coach Seth Greenberg has faced a lot of criticism for the Hokies struggles this season. A look at why he deserves some more time before cranking up the hot seat.

One Direction star Niall Horan was left disappointed when he decided to finally take the plunge and get a tattoo.
The heart-throb claims that a tattoo artist in Los Angeles refused to ink his bum because it was "too squidgy".
In an interview with teen magazine We Love Pop - who today voted him the world's most desirable man - Niall confessed that he wanted to get a tribute to his home country of Ireland on his body but the plan was scuppered thanks to his not so pert posterior.
He said: "Harry and Zayn are really going at it, aren't they? Harry seems to have a different one every day.
"I did actually decide to get Made in Ireland in green....I went to this place in LA but they wouldn't do it.
"They said, 'The skin is too squidgy. It needs to be tight'."
However Niall isn't bitter over the experience - and thinks they did him a favor by putting a halt to the session.

This photo provided by The Guardian Newspaper in London shows Edward Snowden, who worked as a contract employee at the National Security Agency, in Hong Kong. (AP Photo/The Guardian)Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
While our angry and embarrassed U.S. government plays "Where's Waldo?" trying to capture NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the jury is still out on whether he is a hero or traitor.
It is one thing to reveal our government's domestic secret surveillance program. It is quite another to give our intelligence to enemies around the world.
Loosely defined, a "whistleblower" is someone who hurts the other political party; a "traitor" is someone who hurts yours.
What fascinates me about this story is the divergence of opinion and the strange bedfellows it has created. Loony liberal Michael Moore and far-right Glenn Beck are actually in agreement, cheering Snowden on. Maybe it is a manifestation of their paranoia, or maybe they have a well-placed mistrust of government.
For now, liberals and libertarians are siding with Snowden, while RINOs and big-government Democrats call for his head. When the whole of D.C.'s political class agrees on something, it scares me.
Republicans dislike Obama because he is not Ronald Reagan, but they love their military-industrial contractor complex. Democrats are upset with Obama because he is not candidate Obama.
Men seem more upset about Internet and cellphone snooping than women -- we have more browser history we'd like to remain secret.
Snowden is scared because Obama's O-bots have a history of going after whistleblowers who defy him. They now like going after any media that questions them. Obama long ago ceded any moral high ground, Democrats only care about maintaining power and this threatens their power.
The media remains in the tank for Obama. Instead of backing Glenn Greenwald, the journalist in England who professionally broke the Snowden story, NBC's David Gregory suggested he be arrested. If the U.S. mainstream media did their job, foreign journalists would not be the ones breaking the stories.
The $1.8 billion NSA snooping facility was built in Mormon stronghold Utah. CBS is already blaming the NSA scandal on President Romney.
This drama is playing out like a John Grisham novel. If I were Snowden and heard buzzing overhead when I arrived in Ecuador, I wouldn't presume it to be mosquitoes. Drone Ranger Obama could be after another U.S. citizen abroad.
I am pulling for Snowden as long as he does not give away any of our major secrets.
Let's not expect Russia or other countries to help our government when we were spying on them. Our PC establishment has captured and punished Martha Stewart and Paula Deen, yet we could not avert the Boston bombing even when Russian authorities gave us a warning on the Chechnyan brothers.
Suddenly, upon Obama's appeal for extradition, Putin has become a civil libertarian. Obama, who boasted he was going to make other countries love us, looks hapless. If our government cannot free Justin Beiber's monkey from German authorities or get back the Super Bowl ring Putin stole from New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, it's doubtful they can get Snowden from Russia.
Our government fears Snowden may be working for China. Because of that same government's lack of financial discipline, we all will be working for China in the future just to pay off U.S. debts.
Obama is AWOL while his O-bots try to distance him from all the scandals. He has a $60 million trip to Africa and his family spends the summer on Martha's Vineyard. I am not saying he does not deserve to do things with his daughters. Maybe for their birthdays he can give them the Jonas Brothers' phone and email records.
If this becomes a high and inside fastball thrown by Snowden to back the government off the plate and make it rethink what it is doing, then he has done us a service. Hopefully he makes the government rethink how they are treading on the Fourth Amendment and the Fourth Estate.
Perhaps the NSA, DOJ, Obama's White House and the IRS didn't violate any laws in doing what they did to us, but I find it more troubling that they did not have to.
Ron Hart, a libertarian syndicated op-ed humorist, award-winning author and TV/radio commentator can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.RonaldHart.com.
Snowden a hero or traitor depends on how much secret information he spills to benefit our adversaries China and Russia. His information on secret eavesdropping on US citizens has on the surface made him a hero and sickened us on our own government.
I'm sure there are many that are as disturbed as I to read that Washington and its complicit propaganda mouthpiece (the mainstream media) have completely diverted the debate about a patently unconstitutional & highly secretive invasion of privacy to personal attacks on the one person that achieved what the president promised as a candidate; bring transparency and honesty back to a thoroughly corrupt govt.
The traitor is not Edward Snowden, it is the EIC and the corporate lackeys residing in the District of Columbia.
I vote hero 100%
Snowden is not the embarrassment to America. Hussein obama is the embarrassment. The president of Russia and Ecuador basically told hussein obama to go piss up a rope. Hussein obama has the least respect from any of our friends and enemies.

Chili Crab (Crab in Sour and Spicy Sauce)
January 30th, 2011Recipes, Malaysian Recipes, Recipes, Recipes, Singapore Recipes43 CommentsWe will be leaving for Malaysia to celebrate Chinese New Year tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I feel obliged to share a very delicious recipe with you, so here is my crab in sour and spicy sauce (酸辣蟹), or known as "chili crab" in Singapore. The timing couldn't be better as Chinese (Lunar) New Year is just a few days away and I am sure many of you are scouring the web for a great recipe to share with the family.
I have an equally tasty home-style chili crab recipe (my late mother's recipe) but this rendition with the eggy, sweet, sour, and spicy sauce is perfect for entertaining guests or simply when you want to have a crab feast. The sauce pairs beautifully with Chinese mantou—steamed or fried—as the bun sops up the scrumptious and addictive spicy and sour sauce. I prefer the soft and puffy steamed buns…
I made this for my good friends E and N last weekend and they practically begged me to share the recipe. I took them to the Asian market and got them the "starter kit" or ingredients to prepare this dish. For the crab, we are lucky as Dungeness crab is in season and the market will clean and cut it up for you. Save the shell and pick out the tamale or mustard inside the shell. Add them in the sauce and you will be rewarded with a richly flavorful sauce that you just can't stop eating. You can also prepare this dish with mud crab, blue swimmer crab, or stone crab but I just love the fleshy Dungeness crab.

Oh my gosh that looks fantastic! I'm in Singapore right now, coincidentally, and I think I might just have to have this for dinner tonight!
1Have a great trip and Happy Chinese New Year!
2I once tried chili crab in a famous restaurant here in the Philippines and it strongly tasted of Jufran (yaiks!)
I hope I could improvise for this one in the future.
3Have a safe journey home. Can't wait for you to share all the good-eats you will have.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!4Geeze, this is my favourite dish from kid til now. I love it very much
5Yum! We'd love for you to share your stuff with us over at dishfolio.com!
6I can definitely unable to say no to this dish… the gravy alone is to die for!
7My mouth is WATERING! YUM!
Happy New Year!8Thanks for sharing. It's really hard to beat a slurpy man tao soaked up with chili crab sauce! Happy CNY to you.
9I'm soo jealous Bee. I really want to try and squeeze in a trip to thailand and malaysia. Just savin up for a Nikon D7000 first. This looks extremely nice. I'm actually inspired to learn how to cook malay food more, and open my town's first asian restaurant serving some simple nyonya items on the menu.
Have a nice trip, and enjoy yourself in the place i badly wish i could go now. How does this sauce go with for example chicken?. Was just thinking, because unfortunately my stomach doesn't agree too well with sea food.
10I have never cooked crab for the fear of handling them. I miss it from back home, esp after this scrumptious dish!
Have a good trip!
11Happy New Year and Happy eating in Singapore! My mouth is watering and now I am craving some crab after seeing your pictures! I can't wait for the nightly fisherman's market where they sell fresh caught seafood at the pier in San Pedro…That isn't until Friday night. :( Until then, I'll just try not to chew my labtop.
12I was wondering… Would this work well with Prawns/shrimps? peeled and de-veined. I have some large prawns on hand, frozen. And I am looking for a nice recipe with a good sauce for them.
13Yum. Its only 5:30 am here but i want this.
14Hi Bee – another great crab recipe! Happy CNY to you and your family and have a wonderful trip home!
15my ultimate FAVORITE dish.. thanks for posting! Happy Chinese New Year! really enjoy your website.
16I just made this last week! Great minds ;) I made it with prawns though as it's very hard to find fresh crabs here…
17This is one of my favorites to have when I'm in Singapore and my favorite is the buns dipped in the sauce, probably even more so than the crab ;)
18I love chili crab, looks so delicious. Wish you and your family a Happy Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!
19Just in time! I might try this by weekend. :) Thanks!
20My husband loves crabs, so I think this is a good recipe to start with for CNY! Gong Xi Fa Cai to you!
21Cooked this tonight using the biggest prawns I could find. It is super duper yummy. Made a memorable CNY eve dinner, as per your suggestion :-)
22The crab looks so delicious! I miss seafood a lot! This recipe is something that I should really try. Thanks a lot.
23I have always wanted to try Chili Crab! This looks like a recipe that is easy to make :)
One look at the picture though and I somehow got the feeling that there was ketchup in it. I am not so sure about that though.
24Thank you for sharing the delicious crab recipe. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year! Have a great trip!
25Indeed, looks fantastic!
And as for me – the spicier, the better :-)26That looks amazing. Never thought of using Lingham's before. Thanks for the recipe!
27That final shot of the mantou dunked into sauce is glorious! I'm not sure if I can find that particular brand of hot sauce so is there any other (common) brand that you think is a good substitute?
28Hi n GONG XI FA CAI
Difficult to cut live crabs. Can I use soft crabs, the ones that are already sold "dead". Thks.29Your concoction of Chilli Crab really got me & my whole family salivating.
Will try out your recipe this weekend!
32The sauce with the mantou is really shiok! Happy CNY to you and your loved ones :)
34On our honeymoon in Singapore in 1987, we went to the east shore before the redevelopment. Tables and chairs set on the dirt around the cook fires, no menus, just say what you want. Chili crab, wanted to take a bath in the sauce! I made this on Super Bowl Sunday, delicious! Sopped up all the sauce, the crab was good,too!
35Hi, if i do not want to use the Shaoxing wine, what can i use to replace it..
36I just wanted to let you know that my friends and I made this dish a week ago and it was amazing! Thank you for the recipe and we all agreed that the Lingham's hot sauce was key to making it great!
37Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made this on the weekend and the sauce is spot on. It brought back all the memories of chilli crab from Singapore. This is a keeper.
38Are there any other alternatives to the Shaoxing wine? Or is it a must?
40Thanks for sharing. I love to sift some flour / corn flour or tapioca flour onto the cut side of the crab, then pan fry with some oil to golden the dish up. I will use spring onion — the white part to add more aroma, fry them with the sliced ginger and garlic.
Since you have buns or mantou, I will deep fry them in hot oil and remove once they are slightly golden, dish up then deep fry the crabs !! Once awhile to eat the deep fried buns or mantou, is ok. A restaurant served deep fried mamtou with curry chicken too !! Yummy !!
Chinese New Year is at the corner, wishing you and your family always Healthy and Happy and Wealthy !!43

American Wilderness Campground
[ 2/10 ]
The campground grounds are well maintained, but the restrooms are pit toilet (out houses). We were told when booking we would be near the restroom area if we wished to use them, due to not having sewage, but they did not explain they were outhouses. The deal breaker was my family who we traveled to see came in to visit us . They charged $6.00 per person to enter campgrounds, and no exceptions. It cost us $30.00 per day for my family to visit us while we stayed at the campground. The excuse was they would use the facility activities. It's was October and everything in the campground was closed except the game room, and not very many 55 plus people usually use those. Just can not recommend this campground, and would not return there. Cannot understand why Good Sam recommends them; they just missed up on this one.

Good campground, friendly new owners are beginning to update the campgrounds. Will plan to stay here again. Children friendly, putt-putt course, play ground, all at NO charge and LOVE not having to pay out for every little thing. Give it a try.

A great campground, with great owners. The pool was a little small, I wish it were larger.

The Campgrounds very run down, and looks nothing like web page what so ever. The restrooms are nothing more then upgraded outhouses and NOT clean at all. The shower house is an outdoor wooden shack with a screen door covered with several layers of plastic so you can not see inside. We attempted to talk to owners and they were NOT concerned at all.

The B&H one includes Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac as an option for FREE. That's a good deal. Love Parallels on my MacBook Pro (running Win8 for work purposes).

I got a mid-2011 Mac Mini model (MC816LL/A) for $459 brand new in the box with the 10% off Ebay coupon that some folks are getting.
Though the processor is a little bit weaker than this newer 2012 model, the graphics are a significant step up. (Dedicated Radeon HD 6630M vs Intel 4000 Shared). I'm pretty happy with this decision, though I wish I would have gotten in on the Best Buy deal for the same model at $399 + tax...(I'm pretty sure that's exactly what my seller did. :-P) |
Because my Best Buy receipt doesn't list the correct model# or really any model# for that matter, will I have problems in the future for instance with the warranty or getting it serviced since I can't technically prove this MD387LL/A was the one bought online or cuz it doesn't match up with the model# I purchased online! I ask only cause I returned my online order at the pickup counter so I could re-purchase using my rz certificates & $100 in some viggle Best Buy gift cards & pay the bal in cash! The receipt says headphones but does list a Mac mini i5 500gb 2.5GHz under the description. Thanks! |
Please engage brain before using your fingers. If you don't understand read it again.
Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.... The subjection of individuals will increase amongst democratic nations, not only in the same proportion as their equality, but in the same proportion as their ignorance. ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE, |
Here's a review for proof: http://www.everymac.co (Just skip to the end, where the reviewer admits the graphics were downgraded, while everything else received a little boost.) The price you paid is still amazing for what you are getting. I wouldn't feel upset, especially if you don't use any graphic-intensive applications. As for the warranty, don't worry about it: It is tied to the serial number of your machine. From what I have read, you don't even need a receipt. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.) |

A year after the Town Commission rebuffed the three-person tree subcommittee's proposal to incorporate what's left of a town tree code into the town's site-plan-approval and permitting process, the Longboat
Planning and Zoning Board will review the controversial code in the coming months.
The planning board's subcommittee's suggestion, presented last year by tree subcommittee Chairman Allen Hixon, called for eliminating a tree code that mandates what can and cannot be planted, monitoring a property owner's landscape during new construction and renovation only and trusting all property owners to make the right decisions regarding their tree canopy.
At the Tuesday, April 21 Planning and Zoning Board regular meeting, Hixon said that "what sank the proposal was the way it was sold" to the commission.
"The commission was concerned with the fact that they thought we were eliminating the regulation," Hixon said. "We didn't do that, we just relocated it to the site-plan-approval process and made it applicable to everyone."
Last year, the commission only offered some minor modifications to the code, but Hixon pointed out that the current code is hard to understand and is not strictly enforced because the town only has one code-enforcement officer.
Hixon also pointed out that the town's current ordinance only applies to roughly a third of the Key, because regulation does not apply to single-family home lots, rights of way or utility easements.
"Only five permits were pulled last year for tree removal," Hixon said. "People need to respect the code, and we need to change it so they will comply."
Worried that a complete overhaul of the code will once again be met with disapproval from the commission, the planning board reached a consensus to allow staff to bring a revised tree code back with some minor modifications for review at its May regular meeting. The planning board also plans to compile a laundry list of further considerations for the commission's review that the planning board believes need to be incorporated into the code to make it more modern and enforceable.
The planning board would also like to create a tree-education program to teach novice Florida homeowners what native trees thrive on the Key and what is considered nuisance vegetation.

Fall 2013 Ithaca Seminars
Mind, Body, and Spirit | |
These are courses in the Mind, Body, and Spirit theme. |
Kathryn Caldwell
Healthy Psyches, Healthy Planet
Perspectives: Humanities, Social Science
Course #10559-01 CRN 23648 TR 8:00-9:15, M 12:00-12:50
Ecopsychologists believe that humans are part of a vast interconnected system that is the natural world. Whether we feel this connection or not is of vital importance to our emotional, cognitive and even physical well-being. Moreover, western contemporary societal structures and economic philosophies often serve to disconnect us from the natural world and therefore play a role in our mental and physical "dis-ease". The ecosystem in turn, suffers from our disconnection. Taking a primarily psychological perspective, we will explore these ideas, and critically evaluate the research literature that supports these views as well as the limitations of that research. We will look to other perspectives, finding out what poets, philosophers, ecologists and artists have to say on the subject. We'll mine for our own insights through active learning, nature jaunts, mindful meditations, artistic immersions, lively discussions and reflective journaling (via blogs). Learning about ourselves and reflecting on our societal structures, we will apply these insights to propose solutions for helping the planet and people live in better harmony and health.
This course is also offered in the Quest for a Sustainable Future Theme.
Mary Ann Erickson
Creativity and Mindfullness
Perspective: Social Science
Course #10534-01 CRN 23535 TR 8:00-9:15, F 12:00-12:50
What does it mean to "be creative"? What does it mean to "pay attention"? We will explore the related concepts of creativity and mindfulness from a variety of perspectives, including history, psychology and sociology, and explore applications in fields such as business, education, and the arts. In addition to reading and writing, we will practice both creativity and mindfulness in class as well as off-campus with both younger and older people.
This course is also offered in the Inquiry, Imagination, and Innovation Theme.
Danette Johnson
Did You Hear the One About...? Humor and Well-Being
Perspective: Social Science
Course #10534-02 CRN 23557 MWF 9:00-9:50, M 12:00-12:50
Humor is a fundamental part of our daily lives, from one-on-one interactions to the media we consume. By discussing and evaluating published research on humor, as well as examining specific examples of humorous messages, students in this course will examine how the humorous messages we produce and those that we encounter in interaction influence our physical and psychological well-being.
Katharine Kittredge
Perspective: Humanities
Course #10532-01 CRN 23561 TR 2:35-3:50, W 1:00-1:50
This class looks at the way that young women's identities emerge in response to varying social, economic, racial or cultural pressures. We will be analyzing works of fiction, autobiography, drama, and poetry, and we will also analyze visual images presented in film, television, and advertising. As students consider these stories of self-creation, they will also reflect on the ways in which they are growing and changing as a result of the opportunities and challenges of their first semester. The need to balance ones mental, physical, and spiritual needs will be an on-going theme of the course.
This course is also offered in the Inquiry, Imagination, and Innovation Theme.
Nancy Menning
Death of Nature: Mourning Environmental Losses
Perspective: Humanities
Course #10532-03 CRN 23670 MWF 3:00-3:50, W 12:00-12:50
Our capacity to address present and pending environmental challenges may depend on how adequately we have mourned the ecological losses we have already sustained. Religious traditions around the globe have constructed and conveyed historically-conditioned cultural wisdom and culturally-specific practices for mourning and memorializing human deaths. We will explore five of these traditions – West African (Dagara) funerals, Tibetan Buddhist sky burials, Jewish kaddish, Shi'ite Ashura, and Franciscan Transitus – and draw analogies from these examples to the challenge of mourning and remembering "natural" deaths, such as the death of pets, loss of the family farm, extinction of species, and the "death of nature" due to anthropogenic climate change. This course is also offered in the Quest for a Sustainable Future.
Tatiana Patrone
Life Before Birth
Perspective: Humanities
Course #10532-02 CRN 23587 MWF 2:00-2:50, F 12:00-12:50
Exploration of general philosophical and ethical issues related to reproductive choices. Topics range from abortion, genetic enhancement and eugenics, to cloning, surrogacy, ivf, pre-natal testing, and 'savior siblings'.
Dawn Pierce
Yes...and - Self Realization through Improv
Perspective: Creative Arts
Course #10531-01 CRN 23591 MWF 3:00-3:50, W 12:00-12:50
This course encourages you to 'realize' yourself in both senses of the word: acknowledging the self and its complex parts (mind, body, spirit); and achieving the self, through written reflection, discussion, and active exercises. We will explore the history and theory behind improvisational theatre, through analyses and discussions of texts. Ultimately, this course will lead you in the use of theatrical improvisational techniques as a creative venue for exploring and progressing toward this self-realization. In addition, you will be asked to formulate arguments, in written and oral form, about the effectiveness of improvisational techniques for your own self-realization. You will complete a field project, or final improvisational project, demonstrating the application of improvisational concepts and techniques to other situations and/or subject areas.

Many doctors view sepsis as a three-stage syndrome, starting with sepsis and progressing through severe sepsis to septic shock. The goal is to treat sepsis during its mild stage, before it becomes more dangerous.
To be diagnosed with sepsis, you must exhibit at least two of the following symptoms:
Your diagnosis will be upgraded to severe sepsis if you also exhibit at least one of the following signs and symptoms, which indicate an organ may be failing:
To be diagnosed with septic shock, you must have the signs and symptoms of severe sepsis — plus extremely low blood pressure that doesn't adequately respond to simple fluid replacement.
Most often sepsis occurs in people who are hospitalized. People in the intensive care unit are especially vulnerable to developing infections, which can then lead to sepsis. If you get an infection, or if you develop signs and symptoms of sepsis after surgery, hospitalization or an infection, seek medical care immediately.
Diagnosing sepsis can be difficult because its signs and symptoms can be caused by other disorders. Doctors often order a battery of tests to try to pinpoint the underlying infection.
A sample of your blood can be tested for:
Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may also want to run tests on one or more of the following bodily fluids:
If the site of infection is not obvious, your doctor may order one or more of the following imaging tests:

Characteristics of Homeless Female Admissions to Substance Abuse Treatment: 2002 |
In Brief |
Living arrangement was reported in three categories-homeless, dependent living, and independent living. In 2002, nearly 171,400, or 13 percent of admissions to substance abuse treatment for whom living arrangements were recorded, were homeless at the time of admission. Females comprised one-fifth of these admissions in 2002. Across the 26 States which have reported on living arrangements since 1992, the proportion of females among homeless admissions has declined slightly from 26 percent to 20 percent in 2002. During this same time, all female admissions have increased from 28 percent of treatment admissions in 1992 to 30 percent in 2002.
Primary Substance of Abuse
While the proportion of homeless female admissions and all female admissions reporting alcohol as their primary substance of abuse was nearly the same (38 and 37 percent, respectively), homeless female admissions were more likely to report cocaine/crack (24 vs. 17 percent) or heroin (21 vs. 16 percent) than all female admissions in 2002 (Figure 1).

Figure 2. Homeless Female Admissions vs. All Female Admissions, by Age at Admission: 2002 | |

In States reporting both living arrangement and source of income,5 homeless female admissions were slightly more likely than all female admissions to be receiving public assistance as their primary source of income (17 vs. 15 percent). Almost one-half (48 percent) of homeless female admissions had no income compared with one-quarter of all female admissions (Figure 3).
Figure 3. Homeless Female Admissions vs. All Female Admissions, by Primary Source of Income: 2002 | |

Prior treatment history varied among females. About half of both homeless female admissions (51 percent) and all female admissions (47 percent) had between one and four prior treatment episodes. While more than 40 percent of all female admissions were first-time admissions, only 29 percent of homeless female admissions had never been in treatment before. Homeless female admissions were more likely to have been in treatment on five or more occasions (20 percent) than all female admissions (11 percent).
The most prevalent service setting among homeless female admissions was detoxification (42 percent), followed by ambulatory settings (32 percent) and residential/rehabilitation (26 percent) (Figure 4). All female admissions, in contrast, were most commonly in ambulatory settings (63 percent), followed by detoxification (19 percent) and residential/rehabilitation (18 percent).6

3 The "employment" data element in TEDS is only analyzed for admissions between the ages of 19 and 64.
4 "Not in labor force" is defined as individuals not seeking employment including students, homemakers, retired/disabled individuals, and others.
5 The "primary source of income" data element is in the TEDS Supplemental Data Set. These 26 States reported both the "living arrangement" and the "primary source of income" data elements at a 75 response level in 2002: AK, DE, GA, HI, IA, ID, KS, KY, LA, ME, MN, MO, MS, ND, NE, NH, NV, NY, OH, PR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, and WV.
6 Service settings are of three types: ambulatory, residential/rehabilitative, and detoxification. Ambulatory settings include intensive outpatient, non-intensive outpatient, and ambulatory detoxification. Residential/rehabilitative settings include hospital (other than detoxification), short-term (30 days or fewer), and long-term (more than 30 days). Detoxification includes 24-hour hospital inpatient and 24-hour free-standing residential.
The Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS) is an integrated data system maintained by the Office of Applied Studies, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). One component of DASIS is the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS). TEDS is a compilation of data on the demographic characteristics and substance abuse problems of those admitted for substance abuse treatment. The information comes primarily from facilities that receive some public funding. Information on treatment admissions is routinely collected by State administrative systems and then submitted to SAMHSA in a standard format. TEDS records represent admissions rather than individuals, as a person may be admitted to treatment more than once. State admission data are reported to TEDS by the Single State Agencies (SSAs) for substance abuse treatment. There are significant differences among State data collection systems. Sources of State variation include completeness of reporting, facilities reporting TEDS data, clients included, and treatment resources available. See the annual TEDS reports for details. Approximately 1.9 million records are included in TEDS each year.
The DASIS Report is prepared by the Office of Applied Studies, SAMHSA; Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc., Arlington, Virginia; and by RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (RTI International is a trade name of Research Triangle Institute).
Information and data for this issue are based on data reported to TEDS through March 1, 2004.

Boxer (dog)
Plain fawn Boxer, uncropped and undocked | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other names |
Country of origin | Germany | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) |
The Boxer is a breed of stocky, medium-sized, short-haired dogs developed in Germany. Their coat is smooth and tight-fitting; colors are fawn or brindled, with or without white markings, which may cover the entire body, and white. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws, and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser, and is part of the Molosser group.
Boxers were first exhibited in a dog show for St. Bernards in Munich in 1895, the first Boxer club being founded the next year. Based on 2012 American Kennel Club statistics, Boxers held steady as the seventh most popular breed of dog in the United States for the third consecutive year.[4]
The head is the most distinctive feature of the Boxer. The breed standard dictates that it must be in perfect proportion to the body and above all it must never be too light.[5] The greatest value is to be placed on the muzzle being of correct form and in absolute proportion to the skull. The length of the muzzle to the whole of the head should be a ratio of 1:3. Folds are always present from the root of the nose running downwards on both sides of the muzzle, and the tip of the nose should lie somewhat higher than the root of the muzzle. In addition a Boxer should be slightly prognathous, i.e., the lower jaw should protrude beyond the upper jaw and bend slightly upwards in what is commonly called an underbite or "undershot bite".[6]
Boxers were originally a docked and cropped breed, and this is still done in some countries. However, due to pressure from veterinary associations, animal rights groups, and the general public, both cropping of the ears and docking of the tail have been prohibited in many countries around the world. A line of naturally short-tailed (bobtail) Boxers was developed in the United Kingdom in anticipation of a tail docking ban there;[7] after several generations of controlled breeding, these dogs were accepted in the Kennel Club (UK) registry in 1998, and today representatives of the bobtail line can be found in many countries around the world. However, in 2008, the FCI added a "naturally stumpy tail" as a disqualifying fault in their breed standard, meaning those Boxers born with a bobtail can no longer be shown in FCI member countries. In the United States and Canada as of 2012, cropped ears are still more common in show dogs, even though the practice of cosmetic cropping is currently opposed by the American Veterinary Medical Association.[8]In March 2005 the AKC breed standard was changed to include a description of the uncropped ear, but to severely penalize an undocked tail.
Coat and colors[edit]
The Boxer is a short-haired breed, with a shiny, smooth coat that lies tight to the body. The recognized colors are fawn and brindle, frequently with a white underbelly and white on the feet. These white markings, called flash, often extend onto the neck or face, and dogs that have these markings are known as "flashy". "Fawn" denotes a range of color, the tones of which may be described variously as light tan or yellow, reddish tan, mahogany or stag/deer red, and dark honey-blonde. In the UK and Europe, fawn Boxers are typically rich in color and are often called "red". "Brindle" refers to a dog with black stripes on a fawn background. Some brindle Boxers are so heavily striped that they give the appearance of "reverse brindling", fawn stripes on a black body; these dogs are conventionally called "reverse brindles", but that is actually a misnomer—they are still fawn dogs with black stripes. In addition, the breed standards state that the fawn background must clearly contrast with or show through the brindling, so a dog that is too heavily brindled may be disqualified by the breed standard.
The Boxer does not carry the gene for a solid black coat color and therefore purebred black Boxers do not exist.[9]
White Boxers[edit]
Boxers with white markings covering more than one-third of their coat – conventionally called "white" Boxers – are neither albino nor rare; approximately 20–25% of all Boxers born are white.[10] Genetically, these dogs are either fawn or brindle, with excessive white markings overlying the base coat color. Like fair-skinned humans, white Boxers have a higher risk of sunburn and associated skin cancers than colored Boxers. The extreme piebald gene, which is responsible for white markings in Boxers, is linked to congenital sensorineural deafness in dogs. It is estimated that about 18% of white Boxers are deaf in one or both ears,[11] though Boxer rescue organizations see about double that number.[12][13] In the past, breeders often euthanized white puppies at birth; today, most breeders place white puppies in pet homes with spay/neuter agreements. White Boxers are disqualified from conformation showing by the breed standard, although in 2010, the German Boxer Club opened up an exhibition-only conformation class for white Boxers. They are prohibited from breeding by every national Boxer club in the world, but can compete in non-conformation events such as obedience and agility, and like their colored counterparts do quite well as service and therapy dogs.
The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention. He is renowned from olden times for his great love and faithfulness to his master and household. He is harmless in the family, but can be distrustful of strangers, bright and friendly of temperament at play, but brave and determined when aroused. His intelligence and willing tractability, his modesty and cleanliness make him a highly desirable family dog and cheerful companion. He is the soul of honesty and loyalty, and is never false or treacherous even in his old age.
— 1938 AKC Boxer breed standard[14]
Boxers are a bright, energetic and playful breed and tend to be very good with children. They are active, strong dogs and require adequate exercise to prevent boredom-associated behaviors such as chewing, digging, or licking. Boxers have earned a slight reputation of being "headstrong," which can be related to inappropriate obedience training. Owing to their intelligence and working breed characteristics, training based on corrections often has limited usefulness. Boxers, like other animals, typically respond better to positive reinforcement techniques such as clicker training, an approach based on operant conditioning and behaviorism, which offers the dog an opportunity to think independently and to problem-solve.[15][16] Stanley Coren's survey of obedience trainers, summarized in his book The Intelligence of Dogs, ranked Boxers at #48 – average working/obedience intelligence. Many who have worked with Boxers disagree quite strongly with Coren's survey results, and maintain that a skilled trainer who uses reward-based methods will find Boxers have far above-average intelligence and working ability.[15][16][17]
The Boxer by nature is not an aggressive or vicious breed. It is an instinctive guardian and can become very attached to its family. Like all dogs, it requires proper socialization.[18] Boxers are generally patient with smaller dogs and puppies, but difficulties with larger adult dogs, especially those of the same sex, may occur. Boxers are generally more comfortable with companionship, in either human or canine form.
The Boxer is part of the Molosser dog group, developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now extinct Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from Great Britain. The Bullenbeisser had been working as a hunting dog for centuries, employed in the pursuit of bear, wild boar, and deer. Its task was to seize the prey and hold it until the hunters arrived. In later years, faster dogs were favored and a smaller Bullenbeisser was bred in Brabant, in northern Belgium. It is generally accepted that the Brabanter Bullenbeisser was a direct ancestor of today's Boxer.[19] In 1894, three Germans by the names of Friedrich Robert, Elard König, and R. Höpner decided to stabilize the breed and put it on exhibition at a dog show. This was done in Munich in 1895, and the next year they founded the first Boxer Club, the Deutscher Boxer Club. The Club went on to publish the first Boxer breed standard in 1902, a detailed document that has not been changed much to this day.[20]
The breed was introduced to other parts of Europe in the late 19th century and to the United States around the turn of the 20th century. The American Kennel Club (AKC) registered the first Boxer in 1904, and recognized the first Boxer champion, Dampf vom Dom, in 1915. During World War I, the Boxer was co-opted for military work, acting as a valuable messenger dog, pack-carrier, attack dog, and guard dog. It was not until after World War II that the Boxer became popular around the world. Taken home by returning soldiers, they introduced the dog to a wider audience and soon became a favorite as a companion, a show dog, and a guard dog.
Early genealogy[edit]
The German citizen George Alt, a Munich resident, mated a brindle-colored bitch imported from France named Flora with a local dog of unknown ancestry, known simply as "Boxer", resulting in a fawn-and-white male, named "Lechner's Box" after its owner. This dog was mated with his own dam Flora, and one of its offspring was a bitch called Alt's Schecken. George Alt mated Schecken with a Bulldog named Dr. Toneissen's Tom to produce the historically significant dog Mühlbauer's Flocki. Flocki was the first Boxer to enter the German Stud Book after winning the aforementioned show for St. Bernards in Munich 1895, which was the first event to have a class specific for Boxers.[19][20]
The white bitch Ch. Blanka von Angertor, Flocki's sister, was even more influential when mated with Piccolo von Angertor (Lechner's Box grandson) to produce the predominantly white (parti-colored) bitch Meta von der Passage, which, even bearing little resemblance with the modern Boxer standard (early photographs depicts her as too long, weak-backed and down-faced), is considered the mother of the breed.[21][22] John Wagner, in The Boxer (first published in 1939) said the following regarding this bitch:[23]
Meta von der Passage played the most important role of the five original ancestors. Our great line of sires all trace directly back to this female. She was a substantially built, low to the ground, brindle and white parti-color, lacking in underjaw and exceedingly lippy. As a producing female few in any breed can match her record. She consistently whelped puppies of marvelous type and rare quality. Those of her offspring sired by Flock St. Salvator and Wotan dominate all present-day pedigrees. Combined with Wotan and Mirzl children, they made the Boxer.
Breed name[edit]
The name "Boxer" is supposedly derived from the breed's tendency to play by standing on its hind legs and "boxing" with its front paws. According to Andrew H. Brace's Pet owner's guide to the Boxer, this theory is the least plausible explanation.[21] He claims "it's unlikely that a nation so permeated with nationalism would give to one of its most famous breeds a name so obviously anglicised".
German linguistic and historical evidence find the earliest written source for the word Boxer in the 18th century, where it is found in a text in the Deutsches Fremdwörterbuch (The German Dictionary of Foreign Words),[24] which cites an author named Musäus of 1782 writing "daß er aus Furcht vor dem großen Baxer Salmonet ... sich auf einige Tage in ein geräumiges Packfaß ... absentiret hatte". At that time the spelling "baxer" equalled "boxer". Both the verb (boxen [English "to box, to punch, to jab"]) and the noun (Boxer) were common German words as early as the late 18th century. The term Boxl, also written Buxn or Buchsen in the Bavarian dialect, means "short (leather) trousers" or "underwear". The very similar-sounding term Boxerl, also from the Bavarian dialect, is an endearing term for Boxer.[25] More in line with historical facts, Brace states that there exist many other theories to explain the origin of the breed name, from which he favors the one claiming the smaller Bullenbeisser (Brabanter) were also known as "Boxl" and that Boxer is just a corruption of that word.[25]
In the same vein runs a theory based on the fact that there were a group of dogs known as Bierboxer in Munich by the time of the breed's development. These dogs were the result from mixes of Bullenbeisser and other similar breeds. Bier (beer) probably refers to the Biergarten, the typical Munich beergarden, an open-air restaurant where people used to take their dogs along. The nickname "Deutscher Boxer" was derived from bierboxer and Boxer could also be a corruption of the former or a contraction of the latter.[26]
A passage from the book "The Complete Boxer" by Milo G Denlinger states:
It has been claimed that the name "Boxer" was jokingly applied by an English traveler who noted a tendency of the dog to use its paws in fighting. This seems improbable. Any such action would likely result in a badly bitten if not broken leg. On the other hand, a German breeder of forty years' experience states positively that the Boxer does not use his feet, except to try and extinguish a small flame such as a burning match. But a Boxer does box with his head. He will hit (not bite) a cat with his muzzle hard enough to knock it out and he will box a ball with his nose. Or perhaps, since the German dictionary translates 'boxer' as 'prize-fighter' the name was bestowed in appreciation of the fighting qualities of the breed rather than its technique.
Boxer is also the name of a dog owned by John Peerybingle, the main character on the best selling 1845 book The Cricket on the Hearth by Charles Dickens, which is evidence that "Boxer" was commonly used as a dog name by the early 19th century, before the establishment of the breed by the end of that same century.
The name of the breed could also be simply due to the names of the very first known specimens of the breed (Lechner's Box, for instance).
Leading health issues to which Boxers are prone include cancers, heart conditions such as Aortic Stenosis and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (the so-called "Boxer Cardiomyopathy"), hypothyroidism, hip dysplasia, and degenerative myelopathy and epilepsy; other conditions that may be seen are gastric dilatation and torsion (bloat), intestinal problems, and allergies (although these may be more related to diet than breed).[27][28] Entropion, a malformation of the eyelid requiring surgical correction, is occasionally seen, and some lines have a tendency toward spondylosis deformans, a fusing of the spine,[29] or dystocia.[30] Other conditions that are less common but occur more often in Boxers than other breeds are hystiocytic ulcerative colitis (sometimes called Boxer colitis), an invasive E. coli infection,[31] and indolent corneal ulcers, often called Boxer eye ulcers.
According to a UK Kennel Club health survey, cancer accounts for 38.5% of Boxer deaths, followed by old age (21.5%), cardiac (6.9%) and gastrointestinal (6.9%) related issues. Average age of death was 9 years and 8 months.[32] Responsible breeders use available tests to screen their breeding stock before breeding, and in some cases throughout the life of the dog, in an attempt to minimize the occurrence of these diseases in future generations.[33]
Boxers are known to be very sensitive to the hypotensive and bradycardiac effects of a commonly used veterinary sedative, acepromazine.[34] It is recommended that the drug be avoided in the Boxer breed.[35]
As an athletic breed, proper exercise and conditioning is important for the continued health and longevity of the Boxer. Care must be taken not to over-exercise young dogs, as this may damage growing bones; however once mature Boxers can be excellent jogging or running companions. Because of their brachycephalic head, they do not do well with high heat or humidity, and common sense should prevail when exercising a Boxer in these conditions.
Boxers are friendly, lively companions that are popular as family dogs. Their suspicion of strangers, alertness, agility, and strength make them formidable guard dogs. As puppies, Boxers demonstrate a fascinating combination of mood-mirroring expressions, energetic curiosity, flexible attention spans and charming characteristics. They sometimes appear at dog agility or obedience trials and flyball events. These strong and intelligent animals have also been used as service dogs, guide dogs for the blind, therapy dogs, police dogs in K9 units, and occasionally herding cattle or sheep. The versatility of Boxers was recognized early on by the military, which has used them as valuable messenger dogs, pack carriers, and attack and guard dogs in times of war.

Because you should've gone at worst 11-1. You sit in a recruiting hotbed and recruit way better talent than us. You should be more upset than us. Funny thing is, with your schedule, we do just as good if not better this year.

10 in our conference is something to be proud of, particularly with our history. 10 in your conference is embarrassing, particularly with your history.

I can't recall any person on television who thought FSU or Clemson would lose. I guess you are looking for a pat on the back for upsetting those two at home as the SEC was underdogs. If you are talikng GTech and wake, I am not sure anyone ever thought they woud win, so trumpeting those wins is pretty dumb, iyam. So, a majority of the nation (considering online votes) thought the two best ACC teams would beat UF and USCar. It sure seems like a majority of the nation thought USC and UF were overrated. Congrats on your teams' victories, but perception from the rest of the country likely remains the same. Direct your attention where you need to direct it. BTW, since we are talking blind generalities, UF got beaten last two years by FSU and FSU beat USC one year, so SEC must have been drunk during those two years. You kids are funny. You know these things are cyclical, right?

UF and Carolina wins are of no significance because UF and Carolina were road underdogs.
Vandy and UGA wins are of no significance because they were favorites.
Actual on-the-filed outcomes which differ from universally projected outcomes will not alter "national perception".
Vague reference to historical success. __________________________________________

Not the point, games are played on the field and each week is different
USCe lost to UF just like FSU did, and they beat Clemson just like FSU did
if they played today anything could happen, and imo FSU is still better
Im not worried about convincing you
I watched your game tonight as I have watched many, USCe just isn't impressive at all just like FSU
