What is Depression?
Depression is a mental disorder characterized by sad mood—you feel sad most of the time– and the loss of pleasure in normally enjoyable activities—fun things don't seem fun anymore. Sometimes the word "depression" refers to Major Depression, a psychiatric syndrome with a formal definition. Other times, depression refers to a sustained period of unhappy feeling that doesn't improve even when good things happen. In either case, depression can be a very disabling condition that harms: a person's sense of self, their relationships with family and friends, their physical health, and their functioning in work or school. In severe cases, patients with Depression can become hopeless and can start to question whether their lives are worth living.
Doctors have recognized the symptoms of depression and its dangers since ancient times. The ancient Greeks described the syndrome of "Melancholia" and believed that it was caused by an excess of black bile in the gall bladder. While our understanding of the biological and psychological causes of depression has improved since then, depression remains a difficult problem to treat and a high-risk problem to address.
Depression is a major cause of illness and disability around the world. In most countries the number of people who would suffer from depression is around ten percent, but the numbers are higher throughout North America. About one out of every five people in the United States will suffer an episode of major depression during their lifetime.
Symptoms of Depression
Major Depression significantly affects a person's family and personal relationships, work or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health.
People with depression feel sad or down nearly all of the time, and do not enjoy activities that they used to find fun. Depressed people may feel that they are worthless. They may experience excessive guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, and self-hatred. Other symptoms of depression include poor concentration, withdrawal from social situations and activities, reduced sex drive, and thoughts of death or suicide. Additionally, disturbances in sleep and appetite are common among the depressed.
A depressed person may experience physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, or digestion changes. These symptoms are the result of the toll that the stress of depression is taking on the body. Family and friends may notice a significant change within the person's behavior, movements, and thinking.
Depression frequently occurs in addition to other psychiatric problems. Anxiety symptoms can have a major impact on the course of a depressive illness, with delayed recovery, increased risk of relapse, and difficulty returning to a normal level of functioning. There are significantly increased rates of alcohol and drug abuse among people with depression. There are also increased rates of Depression in persons who have syndromes that cause them chronic pain. In addition, many individuals diagnosed with ADHD comorbid depression as do individuals who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Subtypes of Depression
Major Depression is a condition in which depressed mood lasts for two weeks or more and patients exhibit a variety of emotional, behavioral, and other mental signs and symptoms. There are several subtypes of Major Depression: Melancholic Depression in which patients awaken too early, exhibit low energy, feel excessively guilty, and lose weight; Atypical Depression in which patients are sensitive to interpersonal rejection, sleep excessively, gain weight, and avoid social activities; Post-partum Depression, which occurs in the mothers shortly after giving birth; and Seasonal Depression, in which patients experience depression symptoms with a change in the seasons and the amount of sunlight, usually during the winter.
Dysthymia is a chronic form of depression lasting a minimum of two years which has symptoms that are less severe but more difficult to treat than Major depression.
Minor depression is a less severe diagnosis of Depression than Major depression, though both often require treatment.
Adjustment disorder is a psychological reaction to a recent event that may result in persistent or even prolonged depressed mood.
Treatment Options for Depression
Two common treatments for depression are psychotherapy and medications. As current research consistently demonstrates, a combined approach to treatment is more likely to reduce symptoms than a single treatment approach.
True psychotherapy can only be delivered, to individuals, groups, or families by licensed mental health professionals. Bridges to Recovery specializes in a particular form of psychotherapy called psychodynamic therapy. In psychodynamic therapy, the psychotherapist and the patient work together to identify current sources of stress, and to examine whether current stressors may be linked to events from early life history and development.
Psychotherapy seeks not only to bring relief from current suffering, but also to provide insights into how the individual came to feel the way they do about themselves and about their relationships with other people
Medications for Depression
Many individuals choose to receive Antidepressant medications in order to treat the symptoms of Depression, with or without also entering psychotherapy. There are a very wide variety of medication options for treatment with depression. Often a primary care doctor will prescribe an Antidepressant to a depressed individual. However, if there is no response, it may be beneficial to consult with a licenced psychiatrist, who will have expertise in the use and combination of Antidepressant medications. Most Antidepressants target one or more neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, or norepinephrine. Like psychotherapy, medication treatments for depression do not work immediately, and may take one or two months to begin to have positive effects combating depressive signs and symptoms.
Depression FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions that arise from people who receive a diagnosis of depression:
How common is depression?
Depression is an extremely common illness, which affects nearly one in five Americans at some point during the course of their lives. One of the most debilitating aspects of depression can be the fear that no one else will understand how it feels to be depressed, though it is important to realize that you are not alone, as many people have endured symptoms and difficulties similar to yours.
Can my primary physician treat depression?
A family doctor or a general practitioner is often the first line of defense when it comes to treating depression. Primary care doctors may recommend medication or psychotherapy to provide relief of symptoms. In fact, primary care doctors write more prescriptions for Antidepressants than psychiatrists do. But if the treatments from the family doctor do not work, patients may benefit from personal consultation with a depression expert, such as a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or both.
How long will it take for recovery?
It's difficult to predict how long it will take to relieve the symptoms of depression. Neither medications nor psychotherapy will provide an immediate relief of symptoms, which is more likely to take a few weeks or even a couple of months. Unfortunately, the symptoms of depression are likely to improve more slowly than anyone would want for themselves or for their loved ones. The good news is, there are many safe and effective treatments.
How will other people react to my depression?
Some people are doubtful that depression is a "real" problem that causes suffering and dysfunction for real people. It is possible that you will have family and friends who are skeptical about your symptoms or believe that "you just need to snap out of it." Fortunately, with new scientific findings about the neurochemical basis of depression, there is irrefutable evidence that depression results from a combination of biological and psychological factors; factors that are responsive to treatment.

For Immediate Release: July 11, 2012
Knox County Man Pleads Guilty to Sales Tax Evasion
Knoxville, Tenn. - On July 10, 2012, Jalal Boudarga, 39, a member of Woodland Mart & Deli LLC, d/b/a Woodland Mart & Deli, pleaded guilty to one count of sales tax evasion for willfully attempting to evade sales tax due the State by filing false and fraudulent sales tax returns for the period January through December 2009. The Special Investigations Section of the Tennessee Department of Revenue conducted the investigation that led to the guilty plea.
Knox County Criminal Court Judge Bob McGee sentenced Boudarga to one year unsupervised probation and ordered him to make restitution to the State in the amount of $33,469.08.
"The majority of businesses pay appropriate taxes," said Revenue Commissioner Richard H. Roberts. "I hope this case will serve as a warning to others who think they can get away with tax fraud in Tennessee. We will continue to pursue criminal activity and prosecute tax evaders to assure fairness in our tax structure for Tennesseans."
Prosecution of this criminal case was pursued by the department in cooperation with District Attorney General Randall Nichols' office. Citizens who suspect violations of Tennessee's revenue laws should call the toll-free tax fraud hot line at (800) FRAUDTX (372-8389).
In addition to collecting state taxes, $2.0 billion of local sales and business taxes were collected by the department for local governments during the 2011 fiscal year. Besides collecting taxes, the department enforces the revenue laws fairly and impartially in an effort to encourage voluntary taxpayer compliance. The department also apportions revenue collections for distribution to the various state funds and local units of government. To learn more about the department, log on to www.TN.gov/revenue.

Partnering is the most important tool that you can utilize in your organization. It is powerful because it allows you to make 1+1 equal eleven. Whatever your strength, you can expand it. Whatever your weakness, you can bolster it. Whatever your expertise, you can multiply it. Whatever your goals, you can explode them.
Partnering in today's world takes one special trait – it requires boldness in thinking.
In today's downturn economy, the basic thinking is "less is more". In some instances this may be true, but not in this arena. This is where it requires leadership thinking and forward action. Pulling together different strengths and abilities to accomplish broad-range goals is what is needed to do anything in a marketplace frozen to inaction.
How is this done? It is said that the first step to success is "showing up". The next step to a successful partnership after showing up is "asking". You will be surprised what happens when you call a bank and sit down and speak with them about partnering and building better relationships with their client base. They are going to be as interested as you are. The same will be true of finding a local radio show or TV station and speaking with them about expanding their listening base for their advertising clients.
Here in Phoenix we have the "John Adam Show" on radio station KFNN, and its principal John Adam Kowalski has joined us as an Ambassador with Greater Phoenix SCORE. John and we have been working together for some time now, and we have recently, within the past year, developed an off-site radio show format. It works for the show to bring their broadcast site to a restaurant – it works for the restaurant – it works for us – it works for our clients – it makes a magnificent networking event – and it brings out every partner we have in the community. It works for everyone.
We have another partner – NetworkingPhoenix owned by Gelie Ahkenblit. This is a calendar that hosts all of the events in the area. Gelie is a joint presenter with me in teaching people how to network. Gelie and John can pull hundreds of people into a room to network and their partner Greater Phoenix SCORE is there.

I used to volunteer for Find a Grave for years, but health has now forced me to the sidelines..It was fun while it lasted but I am now through...
I am a 2nd Generation native Southern Californian. I was born in Glendale CA in 1940. I am a US Navy Cold war era veteran. Spending four years aboard USS Inflict, a 170 foot long, 700 ton wooden-hulled minesweeper as an electrician's mate. Home ported at the now demolished, and never to return-(thanks Bubba & Hildabeast Clinton) Long Beach Naval Station CA. I retired in October of 1996, after 32 years of shift work in steam generation electric power plant operations for SO CA Edison. I am staying retired, not gainfully employed and LOVE every second of NOT working.
I have a Canon SX50-IS digital camera and a smaller SX5-IS which I use viz a viz taking grave marker photos, civil war re-enacting, living history events, and the various trips that I take, including geneology. I also use (since 1994) the most innovative and easiest computer on the planet, an Apple Intel iMac.
I am Past Commander of Generals Sedgwick-Granger Camp 17, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, in Santa Ana-Tustin CA. Now I am a member of General W. S. Rosecrans Camp 2 Los Angeles CA.
I had kin who fought on both sides in the War of the Rebellion. Most all of my direct linked ancestors came from western-middle Tennessee and near Elm Springs, (Bentonville) Arkansas. Great, great grandfather Junius was in 2nd AR Cavalry, Company F, Union Army, as were his two sons, John and Nicholas. The other three brothers were Tennessee Confederate Infantry.
I am also Past Cmdr of Sons of Confederate Veterans of the Civil War, Capt. Cameron E. Thom Camp 2007, Long Beach CA. Junius' brother Pvt. Rufus Farrar was with the 2nd TN Confederate infantry, company D, and was killed at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862, near the log cabin church. Junius' other brother Lucius was wounded at Stones River TN on Dec 31st 1862, and according to his muster documents was "left on the battlefield for mercy of the enemy." In reading about that battle when I visited there Aug. 12, 2009, it was so cold that wounded left on the field were subjected to bitter cold. In fact most had their bloody uniforms freeze to the ground around the wound site. Uncle Lucius was captured, paroled, somewhat healed, and returned to his unit although not 100 percent fit for duty in a line unit. His hospital company was assigned around the Atlanta area and he was subsequently captured AGAIN this time by Sherman's troops on July 20th, of 1864 and spent the rest of the war at Camp Chase POW camp.
I have been into genealogy off and on for a number of years and recently discovered more info on my mother's side that I will publish later.
Most favorite sayings:
"It is easier to to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled." --Mark Twain
Genealogy is tracing yourself back to better people.
Genealogy is chasing your own tale-
A pack rat is hard to live with but makes a fine ancestor.
There is no such thing as, "fun for the whole family."
- Jerry Seinfeld
"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before."
ñ Mae West: Klondike Annie -1936 film
"Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite,
and furthermore always carry a small snake."

I am sorry to see that you say you are done, because in looking for John Baker, I saw what you did to the photos of the graves. You marked them; you took excellent photos. The extra information you put on your photos must be an extra blessing for those you have went far beyond. I didn't find my John Baker but you brought joy to me just looking for him. Enjoy. Kaye

Planning the Ultimate Girls Night In
September 12, 2012 | Posted By: Lexi Guy | Categorized in: Entertainment
A girls night out is a lot of fun, but a girls night in can be even more enjoyable. The last time you had one might have been a high school slumber party, but they are just as enjoyable as adults. Here are a few ideas for entertaining your friends and enjoying a memorable night from the comfort of your own home.
Delegate Drinks and FoodHosting any kind of gathering can be a lot of work, but you want this night to focus more on having a great time. Assign your guests different items to bring along with them. A few bottles of wine and some appetizers will help get the party started. When it comes to the main meal, consider ordering in. This will allow you to focus more on the party and less on the kitchen. Remember to assign desserts to a few friends, so you can all satisfy your sweet cravings as the night wears on.
Setting up the RoomWhen preparing for your evening in with the girls, put some thought into how the gathering space is set up. Have extra pillows and blankets available for your friends to relax and get comfortable. Consider lighting a few candles to create a calm atmosphere. Sprinkle some small tables around the room so your guests will have a place to set their drinks and food. With a little planning, you can set up a fabulous space that your guests will enjoy.
Rent the ClassicsYou may be looking forward to a good chick flick, but youre also looking forward to enjoying some great conversations. Rent a few classics from your younger days. When everybody knows that Julia Roberts will get the millionaire in the end, youll be able to chat throughout the movie without anyone getting upset.
Share Your Talents
Everybody has a talent, and sharing them with your friends is a serious recipe for success. Discover that your childhood friend can sing the blues like the professionals, or watch your new best pal show off her juggling skills with stuffed animals. Youll have a blast learning more about each other, and you may discover talents you didnt know existed.
Entertainment from a Crystal BallSet aside a little money and hire a psychic to come out and read fortunes. Whether you choose to have palms read or see what the Tarot holds, you will all have a great time learning more about what your future holds. Light some candles ahead of time to set the mood and get ready to visit the other side with your friends.
Its All About the HobbiesIf you and your friends share a favorite pastime, then you can dedicate the night to the hobby you all love. Whether you love to scrapbook, enjoy making jewelry or your grip loves knitting, you can gather around to enjoy some great conversation and work on your latest projects. You may not get a lot of work done over all the talking and laughing, but its still a great form of entertainment that everyone will enjoy.
A girls night in or out is all about the company and having a great time. You want to chat with your friends and enjoy the evening. Plan activities that will allow you to visit with each other and share some great memories throughout the party. Encourage your friends to chip in by having everyone bring something, and consider having the meal delivered to keep things simple. Whether you have a psychic visit to read fortunes or watch the classics, you are sure to enjoy your fabulous girls night in.

An entrepreneur who founded the Mikasa china and Kenwood electronics firms, Aratani died Tuesday at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center of complications of pneumonia, his daughter Linda Aratani said. He had lived at the Keiro nursing facility in Lincoln Heights since last summer.
"I like to see Japanese Americans get to Washington, even if I don't believe in their philosophy," George Aratani told The Times in 2004.
The couple, longtime supporters of the Asian American and East Asian studies programs at UCLA, gave $500,000 to UCLA in 2004 to establish the first endowed chair to study the wartime relocation and detainment of 120,000 Japanese Americans at U.S. internment camps, and the postwar efforts to redress the injustice.
Aratani and his wife were interned, along with their extended families.
The unprecedented internment was authorized when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 to remove all Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals from the West Coast after Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
In 1982, a national commission concluded that the internment had been prompted by wartime hysteria and fear. Six years later, President Reagan issued a historic apology, and Congress authorized reparations payments of $20,000 to each former internee.
"Japanese Americans suffered terribly with the forced evacuation, and a guy like me, fortunate enough to have succeeded in business, should help keep the memories alive," Aratani said in the 2004 interview.
"He felt this very, very special obligation to help the Japanese American community...," said Don T. Nakanishi, a retired UCLA professor and former director of the university's Asian American Studies Center, which houses the chair. "He felt very strongly that the story of what the Japanese Americans had experienced continued to be told."
George Tetsuo Aratani was born May 22, 1917, in Gardena, the only child of Setsuo and Yoshiko Aratani, who had both emigrated from Japan. The young family soon moved to the seaside town of Guadalupe near Santa Maria, where Setsuo Aratani overcame racist land laws to become a successful produce farmer and entrepreneur, with interests that extended to hog farming, chemical fertilizers and large-scale shipping and distribution of farm products.
When it came time for college, young George hoped to enroll at Stanford University, but his father, a native of Hiroshima, asked him to study in Japan, in order to learn the culture and language. Living with his grandmother, he worked on his language skills for 10 months, then enrolled at Tokyo's prestigious Keio University, where he studied political science for two years.
His mother died while he was in Japan and his father remarried. When his father also became seriously ill, Aratani returned home, then enrolled at Stanford as a junior in 1940. His father died a short time later, and Aratani left school to take over the family business.
The next year, he and his stepmother, Masuko, were forced under Executive Order 9066 to evacuate, leaving their business in the hands of non-Japanese associates — the owners of an ice company with whom the Aratanis did business — and they ended up losing most of it.
The Aratanis were sent to the Gila River camp in Arizona. Sakaye Inouye, who had met George Aratani through friends before the war, was relocated with her family to the Poston camp, also in Arizona. The two camps, about 100 miles apart, shared medical facilities and when Sakaye needed dental work, she was taken to Gila, where she and George were reacquainted, she told The Times in 1981.
Because Aratani was bilingual, he was allowed to leave the camp to serve in the Army's Military Intelligence Service, where he taught the Japanese language to American soldiers. On his way to the Army base in Minnesota where he would serve, he stopped at Poston to ask Sakaye to marry him. The two were married in Minneapolis in 1944 and later made their home in Hollywood.
In addition to his daughter Linda, Aratani is survived by his wife of 68 years, Sakaye; and another daughter, Donna Kwee; seven grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
After the war, Aratani started Mikasa, which imported Japanese-made china and ceramics to the U.S., and the electronics firm Kenwood, as well as a third business, which exported U.S. medical equipment to Japan.
After retiring from all three companies, Aratani spent the last years of his life involved in an array of philanthropic activities. In 2004, he estimated that he had given $10 million to a handful of institutions, including the Japanese American National Museum, Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, Keiro Senior HealthCare and UCLA's Asian American and East Asian studies programs.
"Any organization that needed a donation, needed a sponsorship or just needed a piece of electronics for a raffle, the first name that would pop up was Aratani's," said Bill Watanabe, longtime former director of the Little Tokyo Service Center who is now interim director of the cultural and community center.
"I can't think of an organization he probably didn't help."
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. March 2 at the Aratani/Japan America Theatre at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center, 244 S. San Pedro St. in Little Tokyo.

PORTSMOUTH, Va. – Washington State University men's basketball senior Brock Motum is one of 64 college basketball seniors selected to participate in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (P.I.T), which will take place, Wednesday, April 10 through Saturday, April 13 at Portsmouth, Va.
Motum is joined by eight other Pac-12 men's basketball student-athletes in the tournament; Larry Drew II of UCLA, Carrick Felix of Arizona State, Abdul Gaddy and Aziz N'Diaye of Washington, Arsalan Kazemi, E.J. Singler and Tony Woods of Oregon and Mark Lyons of Arizona. Motum's team is sponsored by Mike Duman Auto Sales and coached by Max Gillespie, Jerry Hasty and Ruben Patterson. He is joined on his team by N'Diaye, forward Richard Howell of North Carolina State, forward Robert Covington of Tennessee State, forward Dwayne Davis of Southern Mississippi, guard Rodney McGruder of Kansas State, guard Vincent Council of Providence and guard Kenny Boynton of Florida.
Motum (Brisbane, Australia), a 6-foot-10 forward finished his season leading the Pac-12 in scoring for the second-straight year with 18.7 points per game, while ranking fourth in the league in conference games only with 17.4 points per league game. He scored at least 11 points in all 32 games this season and reached double-figure scoring in 32-straight games. With 6.3 rebounds per game, Motum ranks 16th in the conference, while he's fifth in minutes played with 35.3 minutes per game. He had 5 double-doubles this season, including in two in his three final games.
In WSU's final regular season game, Motum moved into fifth on the WSU all-time career scoring list and finished his career with 1,530 points. Motum's 597 points this season ranks sixth on the single-season list. This season Motum also became just the 12th Cougar to score 1,000 points and grab 500 rebounds in his career as he has 539 career rebounds. Motum was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week both Dec. 10 and March 11.
Last season Motum was named the Pac-12 Most Improved Player and first team All-Pac-12. This year he became the ninth Cougar to earn second team all-conference honors as it marked the 14th time a WSU student-athlete has earned the accolades. He joined Jim McKean, Don Collins and Kyle Weaver as the four Cougars to earn both first team and second team all-conference honors in their careers. WSU has had a representative on one of the first two all-conference teams each of the last seven seasons. Motum was also named to the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Teams in March.
Each year for 60 years, the P.I.T. has invited 64 of the best college basketball seniors from across the nation to participate in a four-day, 12 game tournament in front of representatives from every NBA team. The tournament drew the attention of NBA Scouts and General Managers in the mid-70's when players like Dave Cowens, John Lucas, Walt Szczerbiak and Bobby Cremins went to Portsmouth to play. Today scouts from numerous international leagues have joined in on the annual April pilgrimage to Portsmouth.
The P.I.T. has always claimed to be "more than a basketball tournament." Each year it contributes back to the community by awarding five $4,000 scholarships to student-athletes from Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach. In addition to the scholarships, approximately $11,500 from the tournament proceeds is presented to local non-profit organizations and charities to help them make a difference in the local community, creating a grand total of over $31,500 given back to the community each year.
Motum's team will open up action against the Portsmouth Partnership, Wednesday, April 10 at 6 p.m. PT.

It appears you are assuming that micro-evolution involves gain of more complex information. The micro-evolution is a misnomer as it is just natural selection (breeding as you will) that involves loss of information by breeding out certain genetic traits. This is actually devolution, not evolution. Mutations also cause "micro-evolution", but again, it is not gain of more complex information and usually a loss of function or information.

SPEC rate
<benchmark> Results of the throughput measurement using SPEC benchmark suites CINT92 and CFP92. With the throughput measurement method, several copies of a given benchmark are executed. The method is particularly suitable for multiprocessor systems.
The results, called SPEC rate, express how many jobs of a particular type (characterised by the individual benchmark) can be executed in a given time (The SPEC reference time happens to be a week, the execution times are normalized with respect to a VAX 11/780). The SPEC rates therefore characterise the capacity of a system for compute-intensive jobs of similar characteristics.
See also SPEC ratio.

A barn belonging to country music singer Tommy Overstreet went up in flames Sunday morning.
The mid-morning fire caused an estimated $100,000 in damages.
Overstreet, who was most popular in the 1970s, told investigators he stepped outside the home Sunday to allow his dog to get some exercise. He heard some popping and went to investigate, then found flames crawling up the side of his barn about 75 yards from his home.
Overstreet rushed back to his home and called 911.
Firefighters found a 30' by 30' metal-clad barn fully-involved when they arrived.
Firefighters used a water shuttle because the nearest hydrant was more than quarter-mile away. They were able to bring the flames under control in about 20 minutes, but spent another two hours mopping up hot spots.
Overstreet was not injured, and no animals were in the barn. A van, a pickup truck and a horse trailer suffered considerable damage in the blaze.
Investigators said there's nothing suspicious about the fire.

Virus Threatens River Muskies
Jun 16, 2006 — Biologists are concerned a new fish virus may become an ongoing threat in the St. Lawrence River. DEC officials have confirmed Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia, or VHS, killed hundreds of round gobies, an invasive species, last month near Cape Vincent. The virus also killed 18 muskies, a prized native fish in the St. Lawrence. The DEC says it hasn't affected river trout or salmon populations so far. David Sommerstein spoke with John Farrell. Farrell directs SUNY ESF's Thousand Islands Biological Station near Clayton. He says the virus is common in Europe and Japan, and in saltwater in the Pacific Northwest. It first showed up in the Great Lakes watershed last year, in the Bay of Quinte in Lake Ontario. Go to full article

Black River Cleanup Continues
by NCPR News
Aug 15, 2005 — A massive spill of liquid manure in the Black River flowed slower than expected this weekend. Three million gallons of cow waste entered the river last week when a wall in a holding lagoon burst on Marks dairy farms south of Lowville. Hundreds of thousands of fish were killed. The Hudson River/Black River Regulating District released extra water from Stillwater Reservoir on Friday to help move the manure into Lake Ontario. According to News 10 Now, kayaking, rafting, and fishing outfitters along the river had to cancel hundreds of reservations. Steve Litwiler is a spokesperson for the Department of Environmental Conservation, which is handling the spill. He spoke with Todd Moe. Go to full article

Customer Reviews
Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 28 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by SilverMist Great Bag - It does have an umbrella holder This bag is of good design. Ball and tee pockets have zippers that allow full access rather than partial as other bags in this class. Other reviews say it does not have an umbrella holder. Yes it does. It is the strap located on the side under the large garment pocket. There is a small loop on the foot of the bag for the tip of the umbrella and a strap near the top with a tension slide on it. I give it 5 stars for quality based on the price. If it were closer to $100.00 then I'd drop to 4. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by living4given In the BAG! I purchased the top flite stand bag and it arrived in just 3 days. It is exactly what I had wanted, and what was advertised. June 20, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by northeast golfer Definite upgrade to my old bag This bag is much roomier than my old bag. There is no umbrella holder, but the dividers are large enough to fit 14 clubs with room to spare for my umbrella. The stand kicks out every time without fail. The straps will adjust to fit just about any comfort level while carrying the bag. Very happy with the product. June 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Heisman79 Great Value for a Stand Bag Easy bag to carry and the straps don't twist or come loose. My only criticism is that it's a linear design so when putting the bad down it needs to be on more of a flat surface rather than a hill or berm in the fairway. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Donut14 Lightweight indeed! bag is definitely light in weight but still has look of much more expensive bags. has plenty of big pockets and the look of much more expensive bags. April 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by mdh Top Flite Lightweight bag I ordered the blue and grey bag, looking at the picture it had hardly any white on it. When it was delivered it had a lot more white on it then the picture. Disappointed yes, but the quality of the bags was great. January 5, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by racer0816 Gift that was bought from the store but no rain hood!! Great bag though. I got this bag as a gift. It is a great light weight bag with plenty of storage for my needs. The product description says it has a rain hood and it wasnt included. The only thing that keeps this bag from being great is that it doesnt have a umbrella holder. December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by the fuzz Light weight for walkimg. This purchase was done for my very picky son-in-law. He had done all the reviews and chose this bag. After looking at all the amenities of the bag I had decided that it would make a great gift for him. December 24, 2013

Speeding up mysql fulltext query
I am trying to figure out a way I can speed up their query. Its taking around 18 to 20 seconds depending on keywords.
This is the query:
Code MySQL:
SELECT s.year, s.type, s.slug, c.id, c.card_number, c.player, c.attributes, c.production, MATCH(c.player, s.type,s.year) AGAINST ('+2012 +chrome +harper' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS score FROM checklists c INNER JOIN sets s ON (c.sets_id = s.id) WHERE MATCH(c.player, s.type,s.year) AGAINST ('+2012 +chrome +harper' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND c.sets_id = s.id HAVING score > 0 ORDER BY score DESC
When I run the EXPLAIN for the query, this is what is returned:
Code MySQL:
As you can see the checklists table has 4843702 records so its rather large. Any ideas?

Resources for Teachers - Teaching Partners
To help support our piloting teachers with planning and implementation, we've created the Teaching Partner role. This position is typically filled by undergraduate STEM education students, graduate MST students, and STEM faculty/staff members. Teaching Partners are matched one-to-one with a piloting teacher and will support that individual teacher on a weekly basis throughout the semester or year. Teaching Partners are expected to spend 6 hours per week on their assignment, with at least 3 of those hours in person with the teacher and/or in the classroom. The responsibilities of a Teaching Partner include helping a teacher with lesson preparation and planning, assisting with set-up and clean-up of classroom activities, facilitating small group discussions in class, helping with differentiated instruction, providing content support if requested, and offering general consultation on the new instructional resources.
We heard very clearly from our piloting teachers that these Teaching Partners would be most useful if they could offer a deep understanding of the PBIS and SEPUP resources. For this reason, the PSP has provided content-specific professional development for all Teaching Partners. Many of our Teaching Partners participated in the Summer Academy and Teacher in Residence program alongside the teachers this year. Those with less experience with the materials have been working with the instructional resources lesson by lesson in weekly professional development workshops.
An added benefit of the Teaching Partner role is the collaboration and feedback happening amongst Teaching Partners outside of the classroom. All of the Teaching Partners supporting SEPUP teachers, for example, are able to share what they observe and learn during classroom visits. As commonalities and best practices emerge from their discussions, the Teaching Partners are able to communicate these suggestions and tips back to their piloting teachers.

Ivanka Trump, Alexa Rodulfo Light Up The Night-------
If you're wondering what newly hitched power couple Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner did on their wedding night, we've got the steamy details: After their nuptials, the pair sparked up Bois Blanc, from Alexa Rodulfo's new collection of scented candles. Rodulfo, the go-to hair and makeup artist for New York's social set, gifted it to Trump, who is one of her devoted, longtime clients. "She can't shake me," the heiress and real estate mogul-in-her-own-right joked last night from her jewelry boutique on Madison Avenue, where she hosted an intimate gathering to celebrate Rodulfo's fragrance endeavor. "I'd like to do a makeup line, sure, but candles have always been my passion," the Mexican-born face painter said. "Perfume and aroma are like blending colors—there's no limit." Clients and friends like Lauren Santo Domingo, Amanda Hearst, Fabiola Beracasa, and Zani Gugelmann were also in attendance to fête the three-piece line, which follows Bois d'Alexa, an instant hit with the jet-set crowd when it debuted last year. "It's like gangbusters—everything is selling out!" Trump said of the candles, which are currently stocked at Aedes de Venustas in New York and Colette in Paris—not to mention all Trump hotels worldwide. "Quality sells, even in this economy," she added. "People want substance."

A police officer jumps into a frigid river to save a man's life in Porterdale on Wednesday.Lt. Jason Cripps says he didn't even think before jumping into the Yellow River after a 60-year-old man jumped off a bridge around lunchtime."You could tell his hands were all, I guess, curled up from the cold and he said he couldn't swim. He was kind of bobbing…like an apple. He rolled on his side and head went under and in I went," Cripps said.Cripps said he was surprised at how quickly he became exhausted from the frosty water."It took my breath away," Cripps said. "When I finally got to him, he's like, 'I just don't want to go on anymore. I don't want to live anymore.' I said, 'not on my watch.' And then I realized, 'Oh man it's cold.' I couldn't breathe, I started to gasp for air." Cripps said he was determined to pull the man out."I've always heard stories about people saying in frigid water, when rescuers go in, they end up dying…I thought to myself, I'm not going to be that person…I just fought and fought, wrapped my legs around him and just kind of backstroked him out," Cripps said.Ironically, Lt. Cripps says the same man he rescued, several years ago, threatened his life."Wanted to dismember me and bury me next to the river. Right in the same location I pulled him out of it. So just kind of ironic again," Cripps said. The officer said he doesn't regret his actions."I'd do it tomorrow again. It's just part of it," Cripps said. Cripps said that it took him about an hour to warm up after jumping in to the water. He said the victim had purple lips and hypothermia. He said that the man's family came to the police station to thank him.

Mac Ford is a senior attackman on the Ole Miss men's lacrosse team competing in the MCLA's Division I. Here, Ford continues the ongoing Ole Miss lacrosse coach/player blog, sharing takeaways from the Rebels' fallball activities, both on and off the field.
Entering my senior year at Ole Miss, I cannot remember a time where there has been this much excitement surrounding the Ole Miss lacrosse program and the school's athletics. With fallball in high gear and SEC football in mid-season form, Oxford is an exciting place to be and go to school.
Seeing this program grow from what it was three years ago to what it is now has been remarkable. The players have a desire to win like I have never seen before. While head coach Hugh Freeze has the Ole Miss football team preparing for powerhouses like Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and LSU, down the road the from the Manning Facility the Ole Miss lacrosse team and coach Aiello are preparing for a playoff run.
Everyone has come out to practice this fall with one common goal, to get better as a team. The fall, coach Aiello has been stressing that we have to play relentless lacrosse for 60 minutes — he echoes it every practice. Getting the SEC football experience and tying that in with lacrosse is what makes playing lacrosse at Ole Miss an awesome experience. The fall has been really finding our teams identity — more than anything, it's about team bonding.
What helps with bonding is that our team has their own tent in the famous Grove where the players get together to hang out with 70,000 other fans and then go watch the Rebels football team hit the gridiron. Football games and the tailgating at Ole Miss are quite possibly the most incredible experience and something you will never see anywhere else. It's quite appealing for a person who is from the Northeast, like myself.
The Ole Miss Lacrosse team is doing the little things outside of practice, such as shooting, wall ball and lifting as a team the — activities that will make us that much better come spring time. This week, we will be starting captain's practices, which will extend until Thanksgiving break. No coaches, just players which I think will bring a bond to this group that will be a key ingredient for us to be in the postseason in 2014 — for the first time in school history.
What is also really exciting about our team is the geographic diversity of the players. Guys aren't from just the Long Islands and the Marylands but California, Texas, Florida, Georgia and Idaho. Each guy has a unique style which makes us sort of a lacrosse melting pot.
It's great to get out there after a long day of class and just go up and down, running through plays with your teammates. The fall is the best time do that as the weather is still really nice and the excitement of the upcoming season has made this fall better than past falls. We hope to start something really special this season but like coach has echoed in the weeks we've been at it: "The fall is where your journey starts its putting the parts to the whole."
We now understand that and we now know how much more work we have to put in moving forward this fall. HOTTY TODDY!!!!

The Patriots' first pick of April's draft signified a change in philosophy from their 2010 draft, when they selected four immediate starters — Devin McCourty, Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski and Brandon Spikes.
With its first pick of the 2011 draft, New England selected OT Nate Solder, a converted tight end who was "very much a project," according to Nolan Nawrocki, PFW's draft analyst, as written in the Pro Football Weekly 2011 Draft Preview.
Solder didn't project as a Day One starter, and neither did any of the other Patriots draftees, which included a pair of reserve running backs and a third-string quarterback. Sticking with the O-line, the Patriots went developmental again in the fifth round, selecting TCU's Marcus Cannon.
With Solder and Cannon getting to see the field in 2011, the Patriots have a glimpse into the future of the team's offensive line, a group that has three players who are 32 or older — Matt Light, Dan Koppen (I.R.) and Brian Waters.
Cannon is a tremendous story. An early-round talent, Cannon was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma before the draft, dropping him to the fifth round. With the cancer in full remission, Cannon was not only active but also played in the fourth quarter of the Patriots' Week 11 win over the Chiefs. The way we hear it, Cannon has practiced at guard, but as we've seen this season, the Patriots can never have too many tackles.
Solder, who has started seven games this season when ORT Sebastian Vollmer was out with an injury, often plays as the team's extra tight end to help with the run game, putting three tackles on the field for running downs.
"It has been a pretty productive grouping for us all year because we can do a few different things out of it," Patriots offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Bill O'Brien said this week.
We hear that Light, who signed a two-year deal to re-sign with the team in the offseason, may not be back next season. Vollmer has already given up a career-high three sacks this season.
The team is clearly very pleased with Solder's development, as there wasn't a hesitation about whether or not to start him at tackle when Vollmer was hurt. Not to mention that instead of signing a veteran tight end, the Patriots use Solder. "He's a versatile guy, he's got good intelligence," said O'Brien.
One source said that Cannon could be Waters' eventual replacement at right guard. Cannon has good agility for a lineman his size.

"No other vocal contest better targets today's total-package talents."--Opera News, August 2014
In 1998, to honor the centenary of the birth of Lotte Lenya (1898-1981), an extraordinary singer/actress and one of the foremost interpreters of the music of her husband, Kurt Weill (1900-1950), the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music established an annual Lotte Lenya Competition.
The competition recognizes talented young singer/actors who are dramatically and musically convincing in repertoire ranging from opera/operetta to contemporary Broadway scores, with a focus on the works of Kurt Weill. More than a vocal competition, the Lotte Lenya Competition is a theater singing competition that emphasizes wide-ranging repertoire and the acting of songs and arias within a dramatic context.
Previous Lenya Competition winners are making careers playing leading and featured roles in major theaters and opera houses around the globe. They have performed:
