Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby ruled out for 10 weeks
Friday 29 July 2011
Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has undergone an ankle operation and will be out of action for up to 10 weeks, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger announced today.
The France international was troubled by the joint towards the end of last season and it forced him out of the pre-season tour of Asia and the club's training camp in Germany.
Diaby is likely to be sidelined until September, meaning he will miss the Barclays Premier League games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as the Champions League play-off.
"Abou had ankle surgery during the break," Wenger told Arsenal.com.
"Normally he should be back eight to 10 weeks after his surgery, which means the end of August."
Diaby's absence will come as a blow for Wenger, who is short of options in central midfield having allowed Denilson to leave for Sao Paulo on loan while doubt continues to surround the future of captain Cesc Fabregas, who remains a long-term target for European champions Barcelona.

Cold Weather Accessories: Fashion meets Function
November 9, 2012 at 11:49 am , by Gabrielle Porcaro
We have already seen the temperature drop and some snow fall here in NYC (among other insane weather patterns happening recently). Now is the time to run out and grab any winter essentials you might need before it gets any colder. The most important thing for me is that these items are not only functional (ie. keep me from freezing to death) but also fashionable (I mean, it is my job). Here are my function meets fashion picks!
Coats: I have never owned a puffy coat which is weird seeing that I lived on the east coast my whole life. Whenever I tried to wear one I always felt like a Oompa Loompa. But I recently checked out this Uniqlo one and I love how it's cut a bit thinner and not as bulky. Classic wool coats are always wonderful options too. Toggle coats like this one at Madewell seem to be popular this season. J. Crew, not surprisingly, has some fantastic options as well. I like this blush colored stadium coat.
Boots: Cute, cold weather boots are hard to find. Especially if you want something warm, classic, and understated (not clunky or overly furry). I am eying these uniquely-cool looking Sorel boots. These will be perfect to get me around the city on wintery days yet won't look like I am wearing straight-up snow boots all day. To me these are a perfect mix of fashion meets function. My coworker was rocking these Ugg boot yesterday which is another great boot option!
Accessories: When it comes to hats, scarves, and gloves I can't have enough. My go-to resources for all these items is Echo. They're affordable, available at departments stores and online, and have such a wide selection of classic and fun items. Gap always has a great selection as well. Techy gloves are a genius idea that we covered years ago but they're still around and obviously popular so you can communicate and not get frostbite. Another big trend is fur. I say go for faux for ethical or financial reasons. I like these wraps from Restoration Hardware (random, I know, but how cute!) I'm also digging this faux-fur headband from American Eagle. Both will have you looking glamorous and warm.
And don't forget to go through your old winter items and donate them to people in need!

FAIRVIEW -- A curvy stretch of highway known as one of Collin County's most dangerous is being rebuilt to make it safer. But some drivers say it took too long to fix State Highway 5 in Fairview.
Drivers will no longer have to negotiate the narrow lanes, sharp curves, or concrete columns that once supported the railroad bridge.
"It was nicknamed 'dead man's curve,'" said Michael O'Keefe, who owned a business in the area. "Very seldom a year would go by that there wasn't some very serious accident that occurred here."
Chad Duncan of McKinney has been driving the hazardous stretch of Highway five for 26 years.
"Even I knew, as a teenager in those days, to slow down just a little bit, because you never know what's going to come down the road," Duncan said.
The $3.5 million project will remove what's left of the old railroad bridge, and more importantly, will eliminate the sharp curves. It's designed to pave the way for a larger construction project to widen Highway 5 from Fairview to McKinney.
Fairview's town engineer blamed the Texas Department of Transportation's funding problems for delaying the project, which had been planned for years.
TxDOT's spokesperson told us once funding was finally available, the agency gave the project a green light.
"There is no excuse," Duncan said. "This should have been a four-lane road for years now."
The stretch of highway is expected to reopen in January.

Regardless of where you live in the U.S., crooks are finding creative ways to impersonate police officers more often than you might think.
According the New York City Police Department, about 100 people per year end up in court for pretending to be an officer. In Chicago, there are about 15 cases investigated annually.
It's quite easy for anyone to dress up like a cop, but here are some ways to ensure the person who pulls you over is, indeed, a real officer.
When you hear the siren and see the flashing lights, the experience is so nerve-wracking, your common sense may go out the window. That's exactly what crooks are hoping will happen.
There have been reports all over the country where fake cops targeted victims to rob them, or commit worse crimes.
Recently, America Now spoke with Capt. Jim Coker with the Hoover, Alabama Police Department about an impersonation case in which his detectives were investigating.
"He's using a walkie talkie; he's using a laptop computer," Coker said. "We have laptops and we have walkie talkies, so he's patterning the props after some of the tools we use in our business."In this particular case, the impersonator told his victims he needed their identification and wallets. When the wallets were placed in the front seat of the impersonator's car, he asked them to go back to their vehicle to get more documentation.
When the victims walked away from the impersonator's car, he stole cash from their wallets and immediately drove away.
"This is a very big concern for us, a huge concern for us, because this speaks to the public comfort with law enforcement," Coker said.
America Now found a volunteer named Ryan to take part in our demonstration to show you how easy it is to dress anyone up like a police officer.
We went inside Morris Costumes in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Ryan found a uniform, a badge and other items police typically carry.
After 10 minutes in the dressing room, Ryan stepped out looking like a real officer. Back out on the street, several people we interviewed thought he was the real deal.
"I wouldn't doubt he was a police officer," said Ayana Hearne.
Our fake cop even made one woman a bit nervous.
"It's very convincing," she said. "I'm a little scared, but yeah, it's a really good job."
When we asked Donna Kimble why our fake cop appeared real to her, she replied, "He looks confident and, basically, it was the badges. He's got one on his hat, and he's got one on his shirt."
"For me, it was the radio on his shoulder," Kimble's son Eli said.
So, here's what you need to do if you are stopped by someone pretending to be an officer and you are suspicious:
Police say impersonators are a real threat to the public and, in some cases, they have tried to barge into some people's homes pretending to be undercover police.

First Look at TRANSFORMERS 4 Optimus Prime Toy. Plus More from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, CAPTAIN AMERICA 2, STAR WARS: REBELS at NYCC Hasbro Party
by Brendan Bettinger Posted 327 days ago
Hasbro threw a party tonight in advance of New York Comic-Con, and they brought out all the toys. The first Transformers: Age of Extinction images focused on cars, humans, and explosions over Autobots. So first up is the Optimus Prime toy—we are told this is a good representation of what Optimus will look like in the sequel.
A bunch of villains were on display at the Amazing Spider-Man 2 table including Electro, the primary bad guy in the sequel. The toy version of The Winter Soldier from Captain America: The Winter Soldier notably comes with Precision Strike. And Lucasfilm released an image of the packaging they'll use for Star Wars: Rebels. See it all after the jump.

CATEGORIES MoviesThere have been tons of rumors and speculation on which film project would entice ex-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger back to the big screen. No, it's not 'Terminator 5' but 'Cry Macho,' based on a 1975 novel by N. Richard Nash, who also wrote the play 'The Rainmaker,' and which has been optioned for years by 'The Godfather' and 'Million Dollar Baby' producer Al Ruddy. The enticement: $12.5 million plus 25 percent of first-dollar gross. Ruddy and Schwarzenegger will end up co-owning the negative on the film. Here's the story line, courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter: "Schwarzenegger, 63, will play Mike, a once well-regarded horse trainer whose wife and son have died. His former boss makes him an over he can't refuse: $400,000 to kidnap the boss' trust fund son, who is living with the man's ex-wife in Mexico. But when Mike locates the boy, a real troublemaker, the ex-wife doesn't want the kid. But as Mike and the boy head back to the states, with the Federales are on their trail, they develop a father-son bond of their own."
Here's the latest from the ongoing saga of casting for Universal Pictures' 'Snow White and the Huntsman': Sam Claflin will play the role of the prince opposite Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the evil queen. Claflin just starred in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' and, according to Deadline, has just been offered the title role opposite Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in Warner Bros.' supernatural thriller 'The Seventh Son.' The role of the Huntsman is still up in the air, but the No. 1 candidate currently is 'Thor' star Chris Hemsworth.
Meanwhile, the casting over at 'Gotti: Three Generations,' the Gotti family-approved saga of -- what else, the Gotti crime family -- is keeping things all in the family. John Travolta has long been cast to play Gotti Sr. -- known as the "Dapper Don" -- and now Kelly Preston, Travolta's wife, will play Gotti's wife, and their daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, will play the senior Gotti's daughter, Angel Gotti. Barry Levinson just signed on to direct the film, which also stars Joe Pesci and Lindsay Lohan. [TheWrap]
Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, the team behind the cult hit documentary 'Catfish,' have been tapped by Paramount to direct 'Paranormal Activity 3.' The original 'Paranormal' director, Oren Peli, is returning to produce while 'Paranormal Activity 2' writer Christopher B. Landon is returning to craft the third outing. This one will be fast-tracked, looks like: Variety reports that the film will be released on Oct. 21.
Dana Delany, who has made a great TV comeback in the hit ABC series 'Body of Proof,' has joined the cast of the independent crime drama 'Freelancers,' which stars Robert De Niro, Curtis "50 Cent" and Beau Garrett. According to Variety, Jackson will play the son of a murdered police officer who has succumbed to the "culture of corruption" in the force and Delany will play a woman from his past. Lionsgate will release the film domestically.
We thought that 'Piranha 3D' was a damn funny film so we don't feel too negative about its sequel, 'Piranha 3DD,' which is filming now in Wilmington, N.C. Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames and Paul Scheer have signed on to join The Weinstein Co. production -- even though the latter two were killed off by the bloodthirsty fish in the first outing. Oh well, it's Hollywood. [THR]
And, lastly, under the title ' 'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' Script Complete But Johnny Depp Isn't Ready To Sell Out Again Just Yet,' the folks over at The Playlist cast a jaundiced eye at Johnny Depp's hesitation to jump onboard a 'Pirates 5' and 'Pirates 6,' even though the script for the fifth film in the franchise has been turned in. "It boils down to story, script and filmmaker," Depp told The Hollywood Reporter in a cover story for that trade paper. "It's not something where I would say, 'Let's shoot it next month to get it out by Christmas 2012.' We should hold off for a bit. They should be special, just like they are special to me." Check out Playlist's take on Depp, 'Pirates,' the Mouse House and millions of dollars in revenue.

Welcome to the website of the Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública/Pan American Journal of Public Health (RPSP/PAJPH), an open-access peer-reviewed monthly journal, published as the flagship scientific and technical periodical publication by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), headquartered in Washington, D.C., the United States of America.
The Pan American Journal of Public Health/Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública is accepting submissions for a special issue to be published in March 2015.
The objective of the issue is to identify and examine the main challenges that demographic, social, and epidemiological changes will pose to women's health in the Region of the Americas in the coming years.
2015 marks a critical point for international work on health and development. We are at a key point for three highly relevant global efforts: the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development, the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. This provides a unique opportunity to redefine the agenda on women's health.
As in other health sectors, we are facing an unfinished or ongoing agenda on the one hand, and a new, not fully developed one on the other, all in a context of inequality within and across countries of the Region.
The main theme of the special issue is "The New Women's Health Agenda in the Region of the Americas". The subjects include sexual and reproductive health access; quality and safety of health services; gender-based violence; chronic noncommunicable diseases and women's health; mental health; studies on the intersectionality of social determinants of health; and knowledge gaps that impede the formulation of adequate women's heath policies, among others.
Articles may be submitted in Spanish, English, or Portuguese. Authors should follow the instructions for authors; the cover letter should indicate that the paper is being submitted for this special issue. Deadline: 17 August 2014.

The National Endowment for the Arts has found that fewer than half of over 17,000 American adults surveyed read literature (defined as 'poems, plays, or narrative fiction'), a drop of 7 points over the last decade.
NEA chairman Dana Gioia expressed concern for the results: "We have a lot of functionally literate people who are no longer engaged readers. This isn't a case of 'Johnny Can't Read,' but 'Johnny Won't Read.'"
Likely causes for the decline, according to the report, are television, movies, and the Internet. The full results of which will be released at a news conference today at the New York Public Library.

Metro police Monday night busted a grow house in the 8300 block of Fox Brook Street, near Windmill Lane and Rainbow Boulevard in southwest Las Vegas.
Narcotics investigators found about 50 mature plants inside the home with an estimated street value of around $150,000. Police said two rooms in the home had been converted to grow the plants.
Police received tips from neighbors in the area who noticed the smell. Investigators watched the house for a few days before obtaining a search warrant.
Officers located Michael Herda, 23, inside the home. He was questioned and arrested.
Police said Herda does not possess a medical marijuana license and does not have any reason to grow marijuana other than to sell it.
Police further said the grow operation was sophisticated, with all the requisite equipment and electrical connections. Police found no weapons, however.
Police said Herda will be charged with felony possession and possession with intent to sell.
Homeowner Michael Herda is a relative of John Herda, a Las Vegas businessman who was murdered in a robbery/home invasion in 2006.
The investigation was conducted by the SCORE team. SCORE stands for Southern Nevada Cannabis and Regional Enforcement. The team is a HITDA funded task force.
Citizens who believe any type of illegal activity may be happening in Southern Nevada are encouraged to call a local police department, or Crime Stoppers at (702)-385-5555. More information about Crime Stoppers can be found online at crimestoppersofnv.com.

In the beginning was the concept album — like Evita, only Filipino. The three word phrase that Imelda Marcos wants on her tombstone, Here Lies Love, is also the name engraved on the deluxe double-CD, released on April 6, 2010, chronicling the meteoric rise and subsequent descent into infamy of the former First Lady of the Philippines.
Two years and three days later, it was announced that this unflattering, unforgiving portrayal by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim would be adapted into a fully immersive, 80-minute, 360-degree theatrical experience, helmed by rising and very busy young director Alex Timbers. Here Lies Love is now in previews for a run at The Public through May 19.
Imelda Marcos' legendary obsession with shoes overshadows her political atrocities — Timbers quips that the show could be subtitled Many, Many Kinky Boots — and this musical is an attempt to balance the books in the public mind. "She did horrible things. It's definitely a condemnation of her, but I wouldn't say that the evening is without a certain level of irreverence or fun as well. It wouldn't be me — it wouldn't be David — if the politics didn't match the entertainment and spectacle value."

Although Timbers was never in the Philippines, Byrne was. "David was interested in the politics of power, and, coming from a musical place, he had to theatricalize that. Henry Kissinger doesn't really sing to him. Imelda Marcos loved to visit Studio 54. She had a disco ball and a dance floor in her living room. She's the only world leader who comes with her own soundtrack. What will surprise people is that the score is all club music. It's not a musical theatre piece. We have love songs, though. We did a Williamstown workshop last year, and the new songs since then are two love songs.
"On a personal level, having worked with lots of musical theatre composers, I must say the thing that's amazing about David is that he wrote this incredible album and then rewrote so much of it for the stage. More and more, he writes for character, for situation. It's really cool. People have this conception that pop composers just come and drop off a score and don't really care what the theatrical needs are, but he's in there every day, and every day the songs get better and better. It's really exciting."Continued...

If you're considering selling goods or services online, or expanding your brick-and-mortar business to the Web then there are two things you should know:
We all know that more people are increasingly browsing, playing and searching the Web every year. But did you know that they are shopping and spending more online as well? In the US, Forrester is projecting online retail sales to reach $370 billion by 2017, up from $231 billion in 2013 — a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years. The growth of tablets and smartphones are boosting consumers' shopping time online and as a result, they are also spending more money in a wider variety of categories online. Bringing your business to the Internet means that you are placing your business where the growth of consumer activity and spending will be. With more businesses jumping into online retail to capture this opportunity, the abundance and quality of tools and services to support e-commerce has increased, making it easier than ever for any business owner to create an online store.
Most people think of a website when it comes to taking their business to the Web. A website can play a tremendous role in helping you succeed online, but it's not the only option if you're not ready for one. Consider leveraging existing e-commerce and social media platforms – Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Yelp or Angie's List to name a few – for your online presence. There are many positives: set-up is quick and easy, there's a built-in base of potential customers, and it's a great way to get started with a low-commitment, low-budget online presence. If you decide that your sole online presence will be one of these sites, you should still buy your own domain name and have it "point" to your e-commerce page. That way, you will have a single "address" on the Web no matter which site you use—even if you change networks or move to your own company website. You will also get the benefit of an easily-remembered address that touts your brand up-front, as well as a company-branded email through the domain name.
If you want to create your own website, today's e-commerce website solutions enable non-technical business owners to build an online store by providing everything you may need, such as a shopping cart, hosting for your site and search engine optimization. They can also be very budget-friendly. Building a successful site using these tools will be easier if you follow these three guidelines before you start:
Remember not all tools are created equal, and selecting the right builder for your needs will save you time and frustration down the line.
The recently published report, Benefits and Barriers of Bringing a Small Business Online: Perspectives From Global Small Businesses, also provides a lot of valuable insight from small businesses around the world about how and why to establish and strengthen your small business' online presence.
Referred to you via SCORE's post today "Never a better time to be online…" I'm a start up freelance writer in Dallas changing careers mid-life. It's the best time since Guttenberg's press for writers to launch into self-employment. I'm very interested in your course and look forward to learning more. Cheers and thanks!

|Window to the Past-Capacity crowd attends final service in Methodist Church
|Monday, February 20, 2012 6:27 AM
A very lovely but heart-rending hymn festival highlighted a trio of final religious services conducted in the 75-year-old Trinity Methodist Church here, which is giving way to a new $100,000 edifice this year.
The morning service included congregational singing, anthems by the three choirs, adult high school and junior, a total of 60 voices, all under the direction of Mrs. Kenneth Woodring. The high school choir had 28 voices, the junior group had 26 voices and the adult choir a dozen voices.

The roadway will remain open in both directions through the holiday, but the eastbound lanes of I-22 will close on Monday, July 7, at 7 a.m. between Exit 57 and Exit 65, through Jasper.
The eastbound lanes will be repaved, just as the westbound lanes have been.
The repaving is expected to last approximately 12 weeks. During this time, the traffic will be routed onto Highway 78.
"Before that fourth of July weekend, we want that traffic back on the Corridor," Brian Davis, DOT engineer for the area, said when paving first began. "We want to go through the holiday with no impediment to traffic."
The eastbound paving must be completed by Sept. 8.
The pavement will have to cure before the final striping can begin. The striping is expected to be completed by Nov. 7.
Good Hope Contracting of Cullman will be performing the repaving and striping of the future interstate. They were awarded the contract in late March.
The total cost for the project is estimated at $19.2 million and will also include finishing touches like smoothing out the areas where the roadway connects to bridges. Also included in the roadwork is a $10,000 per day incentive for finishing early or penalty if they finish late.
The Alabama Department of Transportation requested drivers consider using alternate routes, adjust arrival/departure times, observe work zone speed limits and other work zone signs and use extreme caution in this area.

DALLAS — The seats are set up, but won't stay empty for long.
On Thursday, they'll be filled, and the most important people in American politics for the last half-century will all be in one place: The SMU campus for the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Cameras are up. Guards are already on duty. And security expert "Avi" — who asks that his last name not be used — says the campus will likely be as safe as it possibly could be.
It's the rest of Dallas he worries about.
"Police will be here. Federal agents will be here. But I want to know who will be watching the DART station? Who will be watching Baylor Hospital? That's the target," he said.
Avi is the founder of Mayday, an organization that provides anti-terrorism strategies. He personally was an officer of the Israeli Intelligence Services and a former government special agent. He has trained schools, universities, police and corporations to find potential threats by teaching behavior recognition and crowd screening.
He has even trained the FBI.
"The home-grown are the real danger," he said. "Those guys live here and they know the city and they see the news and they know what's happening. They are not impressed with the ceremony here and the Secret Service."
The people in charge of security admit it is a tough task, which is why practically every police officer in Dallas will be on duty protecting the dignitaries at the dedication — while ensuring the rest of the city isn't vulnerable.
"That's the balancing act we have to meet," said Dallas Police Chief David Brown. "Making sure we continue to keep the city safe along with making sure all the key areas related to the library [are] secure."
"You know, there are 13 presidential libraries," he added. "In most dedications, all living presidents attend, so there is a template for this."
Chief Brown cited months of planning and training.
The city's Emergency Operations Center will be open. And because many of the dignitaries will arrive in Dallas on Wednesday — including the president and Michelle Obama — high security will be in place for days.
The Obamas will travel from Dallas to a memorial in Waco on Thursday for victims of the fertilizer plant explosion in West.
That means police across the city and the state will be on alert.

I was in need of something to do the heavy lifting round here. I decided I needed a boom pole, but wanted it independent of the hydraulics. I also wanted to be able to leave the mower hooked up, and I wanted it out front, for more accuracy in loading and unloading heavy parts and implements.
That does not leave a lot of options for the front of the cub. So, I started looking around and started to get an idea. I engineer better with my hands than with a pencil, so I dug in.
I have 4 grader blades hanging around here, so I snagged one of them and mounted it. I then removed the plow blade. Next I knew I would need some strength(and did not want to use the hydraulics). The cub I used is set wide for stability. So, I took a length of chain, wrapped the axle a couple times and slid it through the brackets under the plow frame to the other side. Basically making a sling to hold the unit up. The axle still pivots as the chain slides when needed.
Next I made 2 brackets that slide over the ends of a small 3pt boom pole I had, and pinned them in holes where the blade was. I had another bar that bolts into the center link and fastens to the brace of the plow frame that bolts to the torque tube. This fastens and positions the boom pole where i wanted it.
Lastly, A long time ago I bought a couple 2000lb winches from TSC for $50 ea. I mounted a new one under the floor and ran the cables to a pulley system at the end.
It works great. I lifted a half dozen implements and put them on a trailer this afternoon. I easily picked up sets of rear weights and stacked them on the trailer. Lastly here is a picture of the lift with the front end of a 23A disc in the air. This is going to save me a lot of work. I had everything laying around, even the winch. Total cost $50 for the winch.

Who may be seen at the health center?
Enrolled FSU students; post doctoral fellows; visiting scholars; dependents (spouse and/or children over the age of 13) of enrolled FSU students, post doctoral fellows and visiting scholars; orientation students; TCC students who have purchased the TCC/FSU card; and participants in special programs or campers. FSU faculty and staff may access the travel clinic, nutrition clinic, and the smoking cessation classes only. Any other patient must be cleared through the Business Office prior to the first visit.
Who is considered a patient?
Definitions regarding patients of The Health and Wellness Center:
Enrolled Student - Students currently enrolled who have been assessed the health fee as part of the tuition and fees charged to students are eligible to use the Health Center. A portion of the health fee comes to the Health Center and enables the Health Center to offer many services free or at rates significantly lower than the student would encounter at an off campus facility.
Non-enrolled Student - A one semester window is available for former students to access care at the Health Center. Since these students are no longer assessed the health fee, charges will be on a fee for service basis. This window closes at the close of business the day prior to the subsequent semester beginning. Once the new semester begins, if not reenrolling, the former student will need to find another health care provider.
Domestic Student - US citizens, resident aliens, international students on visas other than J-1 and F-1, and undocumented aliens. Procedures for enrolled and non-enrolled students apply.
International Student - Any student in the United States on a J-1 or F-1 visa are, by state and university regulations, required to show proof of health insurance that meets the federal and Board of Governor's guidelines for students with a J-1 visa.

TCC students requiring physicals to participate in the Marching Chiefs may be seen for the physical only.
Post Doctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars -Non-student foreign nationals in a valid non-immigrant status or domestic non-students, who are actively engaged in an academic activity or employment at Florida State University and who are otherwise ineligible for the employer group health plan, are eligible to purchase the University sponsored health insurance. Application can be made on line through Collegiate Risk Management (CRM) at www.collegiaterisk.com, the FSU insurance broker for the student health plan or a printed copy of the application can be obtained at the Health Compliance Office in the Health and Wellness Center. Insurance may be purchased by the quarter or annually. The premium must be paid in full at the time of purchase. For appointments beginning at other than the beginning of a quarter, a prorated premium can be calculated for the insured. Dependent spouse and children may also be insured and must be insured for the same amount of time as the post doctoral fellow or visiting scholar.
Other Groups:
Student spouses - The spouse of an enrolled student is eligible to be seen at the Health and Wellness Center on a fee-for-service basis. Insurance can be filed for these patients.
Minor Dependents - The Health and Wellness Center does not provide healthcare services to minor dependents under the age of 13. Dependent children age 13 and over may be seen at the Health and Wellness Center on a fee-for-service basis. Insurance can be filed for these patients.
Campers, Campus Visitors, Special Programs - Individuals participating in residential or day camps on the FSU campus, campus visitors and participants in special programs are eligible to be seen at the Health and Wellness Center for minor injuries and illnesses.

For any other care, treatment must be limited to first aid and stabilizing the patient for transport to the appropriate healthcare facility.
Dual Enrolled Students - Student enrolled in programs at FSU and another institution are eligible to be seen at the Health and Wellness Center like any other enrolled FSU student. Dual enrolled FAMU students must use the health clinic at FAMU.
Student Interns - These students are typically from other universities and may be seen on a fee-for-service basis. Insurance can be filed for these patients.
University Counseling Center Doctoral Interns - UCC Doctoral interns may access services at the Health and Wellness Center. UCC doctoral interns may purchase the university sponsored visiting scholar health insurance plan for themselves and their eligible dependents. They are seen on a fee-for service basis. Insurance can be filed for these patients.
FSU Survival Kit
Before your student leaves home,
- Pack "Mom's" first aid kit. A simple shoebox with the following supplies can be very comforting the first time your student needs first aid or basic self care:
- The antiseptic Mom uses for cuts, scratches and insect bites.
- The pain reliever Mom uses for headaches and muscle discomfort.
- The medicine Mom uses for upset stomach, diarrhea or nausea.
- The medicine Mom uses for a cough and throat lozenges for a sore throat.
- The medicine Mom uses for allergies and colds.
- A simple thermometer. Show them how to use it.
- Band aids.
- A can of chicken soup.
- Mom's advice to rest and drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids.
- Make your student aware of how important it is to carry a photo ID, insurance and prescription card with them at all times. You NEVER know when these items will be needed.
- Practice making an appointment for medical care. Make sure they know how to describe their symptoms.
- Practice ordering and picking up a prescription.
- Let your student know that they can consult a pharmacist for advice on over-the-counter medications as well as prescription meds.
Once your student is at Florida State, if self care has not relieved your student's symptoms or the symptoms worsen, your student may need to seek medical care.

Our head waiter and assistant were the low point of the cruise for us. They never asked our names or interacted with us at all other than taking our orders or delivering food. One evening we were (obviously) finished with our main course and waiting on the desert menus for more than 30 minutes. The service got a little quicker as the cruise went on, but remained impersonal. We never saw the maitre d, since we were on the top level of the dining room against a wall. We heard him every night as he did his show for the dinners, but he never made it to our table or any of the tables close to us. None of the assistant maitre d's did either.
We loved our cabin. It was a 4H interior on the Panorama deck. We have always been on a lower deck in previous cruises, but we loved being near the lido and slide. Our room still had the bottom beds split, rather than being combined like they should have been, but the steward fixed that while we were gone to dinner the first night. The 2 upper beds were down when we arrived at our cabin the first day and were never raised out of the way during the cruise. On previous cruises on a different Carnival ship they were always stowed during the day to allow for more room, but not this trip. As for our steward....we never saw him...not even once. Again on previous cruises we saw our steward outside frequently and they asked us if the kids would like any towel animals in particular, but not this trip. This wasn't really a negative, but it could have been a positive had we gotten to request a few small things like specific animals. We didn't receive a towel animal for the first evening.
The staff was a mixed bag of wonderful, such as Tex, the cruise director, absent, such as our room steward and maitre d, impersonal, such as our main dining staff, and great, which the magicians, dancers, singers, comedians, photographers and musicians. We especially liked the dancers in the shows. They were fantastic.
The Dancers were outstanding in every show they performed in. The magician was also very good as were the singers and band. Of the 2 comedians we much preferred Azeem to Tim Young, since we had seen Tim Young on the Inspiration in November and he was still doing the exact same routine. The poolside hairy chest contest was very funny. We went to the "Liar's Club" game and the questions were exactly the same as on the Inspiration, so that wasn't interesting to us.
The children's program was good, but this cruise had far fewer kids than previous cruises we've taken, so the 6-8 and 9-11 age groups were combined for nearly all the activities. One thing that didn't make sense to me was they scheduled the 6-8 kids party from 10pm till 1am on the night before we arrive in Cozumel at 8am. They should schedule a late party the night before a sea day. That would make sense. Offering to keep kids up to 1am before an early shore day is illogical at best.

Pitch black with almost no head, the tidbit of froth has only the lightest brown tinge. The nose is dark fruit with anise aperrault van winkle bourbon. Served a bit too cold in a rush to suddenly consume for luck before this game, it's a bit heavy on the bourbon. I realize some of y'all think that's impossible....
It's a neat beer and, surprisingly, I feel like it hasn't returned to '09 form. Now, I perceive it more of a combo of these three (great) beers instead of a new beer complex in its own right. It lacks the chocolatey feel of traditional SC, but the sweeter smooth Olde Hickory contrasts nicely with the darkly fruity, anise-filled Rabid Duck. A good beer, but one that for me has lost its luster. BUT if it can still hold true to its lucky name, I will forever hold it in my heart....

Bottle shared by Ben - thanks! Tasted side-by-side with the 2009 version.
Pours black with a one-finger light brown head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of robust roasted malts with equally large amounts of vanilla and dark chocolate. Also present are very small amounts of earthy hop aromas.
Tastes very similar to how it smells. Moderately grainy roasted malt flavors kick things off and are joined almost immediately by large amounts of smooth dark chocolate flavors. Midway through the sip solid amounts of vanilla flavors sweeten things up a bit and smooth out the chocolate and roasted malts. Very faint hints of butterscotch make a brief appearance before fading out into a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with solid carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass quickly and could easily have a few more.
Overall I think the fresh 2010 version of this beer is better than the 2009 version was fresh and I bet it will age better as well. Certainly worth a shot.

This years ( 2011 ) on tap at foothills for the release. Review from notes.
A- poured a nice coffee black, with a thin head and minimal lacing that remained stuck to the glass as the beer went down. Although the head and lacing where lacking some the color was perfect for the style.
S- Wow!! What a smell. Lots of smooth burbon, chocolate, roasted malts and a nice sweet smell similar to honey.
T- Runs with the smell. Chocolate is the first thing i taste followed by smooth delicious burbon. Dark fruits and sweet honey flavors resided towards the end. The booze on this is perfectly blended although present it dosent over bare the flavor.
M- the best out of all the Old Rabbits Foots. Last few years i felt was rather thin but this years is perfect. Thick and smooth like a stout of this nature should be.
O- One of the best. This years stands next to the best beers in this category. Its a true masterpiece can't wait to try my cellared bottles in a few years.

Big thanks to Jason for this bottle, 2011 vintage! Review from notes.
A: Poured a very dark brown/black color (actually kind of hard to tell if it was brown or black), with a one finger mocha colored head on top. Really nice retention lasting for quite a while, minimal lacing.
S: Very nice aromas of cocoa and chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, molasses and brown sugar. Very inviting.
T: Tastes very similar to how it smells. Lots of chocolate and vanilla with a little bit of roasted malt. There is a little bit of dark fruit and molasses as well.
M: Medium to full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Drank extremely smooth, especially for its age. No real sign of the abv either.
O: A really great beer. Extremely easy drinking, very smooth, and tasted very good. Can't ask for much more.

Had on tap at Foothills the day after the bottle release. Didn't get any bottles, but excited to try this on tap. Looks very dark, with barely a dark tan head that disappears almost immediately. Very nice lacing of the same dark tan variety. Smells of cocoa and sweet bourbon, really great smell. The taste is wonderful, with dark fruit, the cocoa from the nose, wood, and a perfect amount of bourbon blending together perfectly. The way the flavors work together is artful, with the bourbon in a excellent dance with the flavors of the base beer, neither dominating the other. There is no notice of the 10% ABV, well done. The moutheel is on the fuller side of medium, with some creaminess. This is where I could see some small room for improvement, as in replicating the outrageous mouthfeel of Event Horizon. However, this is merely nitpicking. Overall, a wonderful beer I enjoyed very much.

A: A rough pour yields a finger of standard but well composed khaki head. Slightly viscous black body.
S: Oh my, just as soon as I think I'm going to get a standard dose of chocolate, char and roast, a new layer asserts itself. My nose can't work all of the way through this but a subtle molasses, licorice and a faint waft of bourbon hold the beer together.
T: My that is rich! Kit kat bars, graham cracker, mellow bourbon and underlying heavy roasted malts mix in a velvet cream. I am finding no faults here. This would be amazing if I had year round access.
M: Absolutely divine dessert-like quality for the tongue. Creamy and delicate like tiramisu.
D: I was going to trade my other bottle but I have just changed my mind. What a treat!

Apparently the way to tell the difference between this 2010 version and the older 2009 version lies in the wording under the ABV designation. If its bottled by Foothills, its 2010, by Olde Hickory, its 2009. Thanks to MasterSki aka Beer Guru for that tidbit.
Poured from a 22oz. bomber into a Darkness snifter.
A: Pours a creamy, 1 finger milk chocolate colored head with possibly the best retention I've seen on an Imperial Stout. Beer is viscous, oily, and pitch black. Lacing is patchy and stringy but sparse with decent stick and nice legs. Overall a fantastically beautiful brew.
S: Nose has detectable hints of infection. Instead of bourbon barrel heat, there's a vinous, winey tartness. Also notes of roasted malt, honey, prunes, and sweet soy sauce. Wine characteristic in the aroma is actually very pleasant but completely inappropriate in this type of beer. Also very subtle.
T: Opens slight booziness that invades the nose. Slight crisp tartness in the back that accentuates a sweet soy sauce and prune character. No noticeable chocolate or honey sweetness. Roasted malts linger in the background complemented by some cocoa nib powderiness. Smoky and tart finish with a chocolate and dark fruit aftertaste.
M: Medium to full bodied and lightly carbonated. Oily and silky in the mouth. Smooth going down with a little bit of heat that agitates the back of the throat. Finish is messy with an aftertaste that lingers.
D: Like its year old brother, this vintage of Olde Rabbit's Foot also seems to be making its way towards infection also. While its still quite good at the moment, I wouldn't way too long on it less the tartness completely takes over in time. As is, a decent beer overall though its not as sweet, hot, or bold as the last bottling.

2010 Vintage, thanks to Jyounger30.
A - Thin body, with rocky, light brown head. Scarlet around the edges, almost like a black cherry soda.
S - Very sweet aroma. Heavy on the bourbon. Fresh harvested sugar cane.
T - Bitter char, followed by a blast of molasses and bourbon, with the alcohol warmth to follow. The honey sweetess and flavors are subdued, but present. The dry cocoa flavor marries it all together.
M - Heavily carbed, which I would think is from the residual sugars and bottle conditioning. Almost burns at times.
O - Very good. Too many flavors involved to isolate just one. Honey needs to come more forward, the roast could use to be subdued.

SOCHAUX, France (AP) -- Sochaux has fired coach Mehmed Bazdarevic after a poor run of results that has left the club languishing in last place in the French league.
Sochaux has not won a game since beating Lyon 2-1 at home in early November and has lost nine of its last 13 league games. It is five points away from safety with 12 matches remaining.
The club said in a statement Tuesday that reserve team coach Eric Hely will replace Bazdarevic in a caretaker role.
The 51-year-old Bazdarevic was popular with Sochaux fans during his playing days as a winger at the club from 1988-94.
Sochaux never recovered from losing coach Francis Gillot, who guided the club into fifth place last season before joining Bordeaux.

Conditions deteriorated quickly on Friday as a cold front moved into Arizona and caused wind gusts up to 75 mph, the Arizona Department of Transportation said in a release.
A wind advisory was put in place until 8 p.m. across the state and wind speeds were expected to remain strong throughout the day.
Drivers along Interstate 40 between Flagstaff and Winslow reported gusts as high as 70 mph. Drivers in high-profile vehicle, such as semi-trucks, are urged to use caution and to consider delaying travel until conditions improve.
"We did have a semi-truck get blown over because of these high winds along I-40," said Carrick Cook with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Yu Darvish found the perfect way to help the Rangers bounce back from their opening night loss.
It was almost a perfect game.
Darvish retired the first 26 batters he faced before giving up a ground ball base hit to Marwin Gonzalez that went right through Darvish's legs.
As he watched the ball roll to center fielder Craig Gentry, Darvish had a big smile on his face.
Rangers manager Ron Washington immediately made a pitching change, so Darvish's final line was 8 2/3 innings pitched, 111 pitches, 14 strikeouts, 1 hit, and 0 runs.
The Rangers won the game 7-0.
Last year, Darvish flirted with a perfect game against Kansas City, when he didn't allow a baserunner for 6 2/3 innings. He allowed consecutive hits before finishing the 6th and then throwing a perfect 7th inning.
Against the Astros, Darvish struck out five of the first six batters he faced, and he struck out the side in the second and fourth innings.
Besides the base hit in the 9th, only one other ball left the infield.
After the game, catcher A.J. Pierzynski said he and some teammates were talking in the tunnel about how close Darvish came to perfection.
"I don't think I've ever been so disappointed in a shutout in my life, just because how close we came," Pierzynski said in a post-game interview.
The last time the Rangers had a no-hitter was also the franchise's only perfect game, when Kenny Rogers did it on July 28, 1994.
The Rangers wrap up their series in Houston on Wednesday afternoon, then return to Arlington for their home opener Friday against the Angels.
