This strectchy "spandex" like fabric feels like silk to the skin yet is strong, durable, and SPF rated. Rash guard lycra is designed to protect your skin unlike t-shirt cotton which provides minimal sun protection and when wet is known to cause skin irritation and friction.Besides the numerous great features, bottom line, rash guards make you look and feel great.

More than 8,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict, including many women and children, said Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, president of the U.N. General Assembly. Opposition activists have put the toll at more than 9,000.
"Violations of human rights are widespread and systematic," Al-Nasser said Monday. "The international community has a responsibility to act."
At least 22 people across Syria were killed Tuesday, according to the opposition group Local Coordination Committees of Syria, or LCC. The deaths included seven in Idlib, six in Homs, three in Aleppo, four in Damascus suburbs, one in Deir Ezzor and one in Daraa.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights, another opposition group, reported a higher death toll in Homs, with eight killed, five from shelling in the Jib al-Jandali neighborhood.
Twelve Syrian security forces were also killed in an ambush by a group of armed defecting soldiers in the town of Dael in Daraa province, according to the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The security forces were entering the town from the south to start a campaign of arrests when they were ambushed, the observatory said. Five members of the defecting group were wounded when clashes erupted among other Syrian security forces that came to evacuate the dead, the group said.
Syria, on state-run media, continued to insist it was battling "armed terrorist groups."
It got some more backing for that argument Tuesday from Russia on Tuesday.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, at a news conference, said that if reports of an al Qaeda presence in Syria prove true, "and I assume it is the case, then the weapons coming to Syria could fall into the hands of this terrorist organization." And he noted that according to a U.N. Security Council resolution, all U.N. members "should not only prevent weapons from getting to al Qaeda, but must avoid all links."
Syrian President,Bashar al-Assad, who has insisted he is helping lead democratic reforms, has set May 7 for parliamentary elections, the Syrian parliament website said Tuesday.
But many world leaders and opposition activists have said al-Assad is leading a violent crackdown aimed at keeping his lock on power.
"Stores should remain closed; work, universities, and schools should not be attended; and streets should be blocked," the LCC said of Tuesday's day of mourning. "We urge everyone to participate, even if only symbolically, by wearing black ribbons, raising black flags, or wearing black."
The opposition Syrian National Council called Monday for urgent international military intervention to help stop the violence and to protect civilians.
The council, an umbrella group that includes opposition members abroad as well as dissidents inside Syria, also demanded a no-fly zone across the country and a "speedy operation" to arm the Free Syrian Army, rebel fighters made up primarily of defectors from al-Assad's forces.
"Sympathy messages are no longer enough. ... What is needed is actions on (the) ground and decisions and measures against (al-Assad's) gangs," the group said after a meeting in Turkey.
Yousuf, a resident and opposition activist in Homs, described incessant bombings across the city Tuesday.
"There have been over 100 explosions heard in Homs this morning caused by the continuous tank shelling and rockets" in several neighborhoods, said Yousuf, who is not being fully identified for safety reasons.
Repeated diplomatic efforts to resolve the Syrian conflict have failed.
Kofi Annan, the U.N. special envoy to Syria, met Tuesday in Turkey with government officials and Syrian opposition members. He visited Syria over the weekend.

Steve Nash is not seeking a trade, and the Phoenix Suns are not eager to trade the two-time NBA MVP, according to a report from the Arizona Republic.
Earlier this week, FanHouse's Sam Amick reported that should the Suns fail to make up ground in the Western Conference within the next month, Phoenix will look at trade offers for its superlative point guard. But Paul Coro of the Republic writes that Nash says team president Lon Babby told him earlier this season that the point guard will not be moved this season.
Nash also indicates that he wants to remain in Phoenix, despite a mighty slide from last year's Western Conference Finals appearance.
"I signed up for this," Nash said. "I'm committed to trying to build a team here. Obviously, last year was a phenomenal year. Tied 2-2 (in the conference finals), I thought we could win a championship. I genuinely believed we could and would win it. It's tough to be in this position six months later. I'm still committed to it. I love the guys. I think we've got potential but we've had so much change and haven't been able to put it together. If we want to point fingers, we've got to point some at ourselves and say, 'We haven't put it together.'"
Whether that will change as it becomes more clear that the Suns will miss the playoffs remains to be seen. Phoenix currently sits at No. 11 in the West, 3.5 games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for the No. 8 seed. The Suns are just 2-6 since trading Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu to the Orlando Magic. Phoenix had been 12-13 up to that point.
The New York Knicks are reported to be interested in Nash, despite the emergence of Raymond Felton.

We should take advantage of Linfield's programs
College is meant to be a place where students figure out who they are and what eventually they would like to become. Linfield, as a liberal arts college, offers many opportunities for students to explore broad areas of interest.
For example, there are a number of clubs, IM sports teams and courses available to students who are willing to take advantage of all Linfield has to offer.
However, the problem is that too many students don't take advantage of the opportunities that are sitting right at their finger tips.
It can definitely be easy to get caught in an impenetrable bubble when navigating your way through college. For example, there are a number of classes in your major or minor which are required and can therefore take up a lot of time in your already jam-packed schedule.
But if you can find some room, try to expand your horizons and take a course simply because you are interested in the subject. What other time in your life will you be able to do that?
As far as clubs and IM sports go, make an effort to see what's available and to find out what they're all about. Who knows, you might be good at a sport you never thought of playing before, and you may come across a hidden interest or passion in a club.
Joining a club or IM sports team exposes you to other students that may not live in your residence hall or apartment complex or be in your fraternity or sorority. This is a chance to meet people outside your usual social sphere. It's a great way to meet new friends.
Overall, make your time at college a time to challenge yourself not only academically but socially. It can be difficult to step outside of your comfort zone, but try to take some chances.

While the internet was erroneously (?) abuzz with the news that rapper, Lil Wayne was off the, er, eligible list, allegedly popping the question to his girlfriend Dhea, which he later recanted, saying he meant he asked her to be his Valentine (groan), it should be noted that whatever it was, it happened at Barton G. The Restaurant. Over the top it was not, but pure and simple and sweet are the reports, no champagne on bended knee, just Lil Wayne toasting his Valentine with his usual non-alcoholic Courtney Spritzer cocktail made with cranberry juice, Sprite and a strawberry. Lobster Pop Tarts and Coconut Crusted Voodoo Shrimp launched their V-Day dinner followed by some Good Ol' Southern Fried Chicken and Tango Time Skirt Steak. Chef Arthur Jones topped it off with a special a la mode dessert with a huge yellow diamond perched atop a mound of ice cream. All this romantic whimsy and a yellow diamond for a Hallmark holiday? We think not. Did someone have a change of heart or are they just playing into the, to use a Lil Wayne song here, Gossip?

The Illinois State Board of Education redrew a map Friday consolidating the state's regional education offices ahead of a Saturday deadline, and the move has area superintendents upset.
This summer, the General Assembly mandated that the 44 regions outside Cook County shrink to 35. Several western Illinois regions voluntarily combined through actions of their respective county boards. The Illinois State Board of Education was originally giving counties until next year to make any other changes.
However, the General Assembly threw a wrench in those plans during the recent veto session, when the law was amended to force a reorganization plan to be in place by today.
Effingham and Fayette counties will be affected by the plan passed Friday by the state board. The board voted to consolidate the Effingham-Bond-Fayette region with the Christian-Montgomery region.

Triple Take: Nine times
6 Comments · Posted by Pat Coleman in General, Triple Take
In this case, the eighth time was the charm. Last week, all our Game of the Week picks were good ones, two of our Top 25 upset picks hit, teams properly got onto the radar and two of our surprisingly close games were both close and surprising.
Not sure if we can match that record here in Week 9, but Keith McMillan, Ryan Tipps and I will try.
Game of the Week
Ryan's take: No. 10 Wesley at No. 16 Salisbury. In the preseason Kickoff guide, I had picked this as my most anticipated game of the year — and the stakes seem to have grown even bigger than I expected. Based on the first installment of the NCAA's regional rankings, the loser's chance of getting a playoff bid seems questionable. The winner, on the other hand, will almost certainly get to pass Go and have their playoff payday.
Keith's take: No. 5 Millsaps at No. 14 Trinity (Texas). A battle of unbeaten teams. Conference title implications. An effect felt as far away as Pennsylvania regarding likely South Region playoff seeding. Yeah. That's nothing. Subtext galore here: Millsaps, humbled on ESPN and all over the internet by last season's 15-lateral, game-winning Riley Curry touchdown on the 'Miracle in Mississippi' might never be able to return the favor, but they wouldn't mind humbling the Tigers.
Pat's take: No. 19 UW-Eau Claire at No. 6 UW-Whitewater. This is the non-conference matchup between two teams that played in Week 2. So these teams know each other just a little better than usual. Plus, this is already a Pool C elimination game for Eau Claire and possibly for Whitewater as well. Last time around, Whitewater settled for field goals three times and survived with a 16-14 win.
Surprisingly close game
Ryan's take: No. 4 Muhlenberg at Dickinson. The Mules have been caught a little off-guard at times, eking out tight wins against Johns Hopkins and Franklin & Marshall in conference play. Dickinson is on par with those two squads — and has a better playmaker under center. And as far as the stat sheets are concerned, it's rare to find two teams such as Muhlenberg and Dickinson that are so evenly matched on all major offensive and defensive fronts.
Keith's take: Plymouth State at MIT. The Panthers took control of the NEFC Boyd race and made themselves the playoff bid favorite with a win against Curry last week, but the 5-3 Engineers will be a stout test. RB DeRon Brown, who rushes for a national-best 184 yards per game and has scored 21 touchdowns, should give MIT a chance.
Pat's take: Marietta at No. 18 Otterbein. This game is sandwiched right in between Capital and Mount Union for Otterbein. 'Nuff said.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset
Ryan's take: No. 9 Washington & Jefferson. Thomas More's Week 1 loss to John Carroll must feel like ancient history at this point in the season. Even with three games left, the Saints are riding high, getting a whiff of the playoffs and having their best season in half a decade.
Keith's take: No. 6 UW-Whitewater. Who knows if it's really likely, but it's a startling prospect, that our defending champion could go from No. 2 with first place votes to out of the playoff picture in two weeks. No. 19 UW-Eau Claire lost 16-14 at home in Week 2, the game that counted in the WIAC standings, but both coaching staffs get a do-over when the teams meet for the second time, in a "non-conference†game.
Pat's take: No. 22 RPI. With Union unveiling a revamped defensive scheme last week against St. Lawrence, which gave up some rushing yardage but just 14 points, none of them after the first quarter. RPI has averaged just 109 yards per game on the ground since the Engineers' opening two games against Endicott and Utica, so the key for Union is containing quarterback Jimmy Robertson.
They'll be on your radar
Ryan's take: East Texas Baptist. The Tigers' opponent, Mary Hardin-Baylor, can be interpreted as being out for blood or picking itself up after last week's loss. What's more interesting is whether ETBU can capitalize against a team that has shown its flaws.
Keith's take: I'm curious to see if Cal Lutheran is legitimate, and hosting No. 20 Occidental is their chance to prove it. Also I'll be keeping an eye on No. 22 RPI since I really want to be there as well as in San Antonio.
Pat's take: Adrian. The Bulldogs should beat Alma and set up a showdown with Trine for the top spot in the MIAA next week. Adrian's only overall loss is to the healthy Capital back in Week 1.
Which conference front-runner faces the biggest challenge from a current runner-up: Christopher Newport at N.C. Wesleyan, Northwestern against Crown, or Muhlenberg at Dickinson?
Ryan's take: Christopher Newport at N.C. Wesleyan. After needing the first couple weeks of the season to adjust to a new head coach and the loss of a good senior class, the Bishops have found ways to put points on the board. Turns out though, behind a running back that put up 225 and 254 yards in his last two outings, that's CNU's specialty, too. Repeat after me the key to winning: d-e-f-e-n-s-e.
Keith's take: Christopher Newport. N.C. Wesleyan seems to have hit its stride, winning four of five and averaging 40.5 points per game in its past four.
Pat's take: Trinity (Conn.) vs. Amherst. I'm going to go off the script here because I don't see the UMAC outcome being different than it was when Northwestern won on the road at Crown in September. I think Amherst will provide a bigger challenge to the Bantams.
Which team impresses the most in Week 9 coming off of a lopsided loss last week: Capital, Linfield or Wheaton?
Ryan's take: Wheaton. As the only team of this bunch playing an opponent with a winning record, the Thunder at least have the biggest opportunity to be impressive. Capital and Linfield will spend the weekend picking on their conferences' bottom rungs. Wheaton still has a Pool C bid to think about.
Keith's take: Wheaton. A win at 5-2 Elmhurst would be a strong bounce-back for Wheaton from a thumping at the hands of North Central. Playing a team you know can beat you if you don't play your best is the best motivation for a week of practice.
Pat's take: Capital. It's three losses in a row for the Assmann-less Crusaders and they need a win pretty badly in their final home game.
How will the cluster of East Region teams with one regional loss get solved this week?
Ryan's take: It won't. Worcester Polytech will drop off, though, replaced by the in-region one-loss St. John Fisher. The rest of the cluster will have to wait a week for any tangible change.
Keith's take: It won't. Hobart and WPI meet head-to-head and that will sort things a little bit. It's possible we'll see upsets, but the big games (Rowan-Montclair State and Cortland State-Ithaca) are still ahead.
Pat's take: It'll actually get more complicated. Because of the above-mentioned Union/RPI upset, that is. At least I have to be consistent within myself, right?

ATN podcast: Some serious looking ahead
24 Comments · Posted by Pat Coleman in Around the Nation, General
Hmm, yes, it's getting late in the season and slowly but surely there are a lot fewer variables in the playoff picture.
Keith and I run through some of them, plus discuss the Top 25 distress from the past weekend, ponder the various choices for the No. 2 spot in our poll and on our ballots, consider how the NCAA might pair up West Coast and Southeast/Southwest teams that make the playoffs and the like. Plus Keith gives his take on a couple of interesting play calls, including taking points off the board.

Oksana Grigorieva: Lying About Mel Gibson Attack?by Free Britney at . Comments
Her accusations against Mel Gibson - physical violence, coupled with racist and sexist tirades - are absolutely sickening. But is Oksana Grigorieva telling the truth?
That's what law enforcement officials wonder, having "serious concerns" over Oksana's credibility in connection with her domestic violence claim against Gibson.
We've spent plenty of time detailing her accusations against Mel, including his viciously profane, racist tirade. But the counter-argument is she's lying for money.
Moreover, sources are saying that Mel Gibson has emails and other evidence that Oksana "tried to extract money from Mel in return for the [explosive] tapes."
Oksana Grigorieva apparently recorded several explosive arguments with the actor, with whom she split in January and has an eight-month-old daughter, Lucia.
BITTER BATTLE: Who's telling the truth, Mel or Oksana?
Investigators are concerned that Oksana had contact with lawyers and judges while she negotiated a visitation agreement with Mel but never once contacted police.
Oksana was represented by lawyer Eric George, the son of California Supreme Court Justice Ronald George, to handle the visitation case surrounding Mel and Lucia.
She endured two full days of mediation in May, conducted by two former judges, one of whom a former federal prosecutor, and negotiated a visitation agreement.
The agreement, signed by both Oksana and Mel, gave Mel full visitation rights and future joint legal custody of their daughter. But soon, she sang a different tune.
Last month, Oksana refused to give Mel his visitation rights and alleged abuse for the first time. Police are currently investigating Mel Gibson for domestic abuse.
She's a fortune hunter. She found Mel and then moved in for the kill, which was to get pregnant. She probably told him she was using birth control, too. Now she has the meal ticket and she's going for the gold. Sure, his rants are distasteful, but you're only seeing one side of the story. And not coincidentally, a lot of this is an attempt to blackball Mel from the entertainment industry -- 'nuff said.
it's difficult to draw a conclusion to something that has not even started yet, a hearing regarding their child's custody hasnt started therefore at this point let's give mel and oksana both the benefit of the doubt because admit it, the alleged tape arguments are not been revealed. all allegations to mel's domestic violence issue and racist/sexist rants will soon be revealed because investigation is still going on. it's easy to join in Team Oksana or Team Mel depending on how you weigh the information fed by the media but at this time, all i can hope is whoever speaks the truth win the custody battle.
I am totally against wife beaters but... This is all to slick. Besides that, the woman is clearly playing him in those taped conversations. To me her voice is very lazy, hollow, not at all in panic, too controlled and in fact irritating to the bone. It's just like that voice in the pilot of the cartoon "Family Dog" where the house wife wines about her life. Exactly that draining, lazy and mind sucking voice. Mel, if you read this drop me a line, I'll help you in the pre-justice preparations. -> email@example.com
She is a schemer, and that is the bottom line. She just bided her time to go after this guy's money. She has a track record, remember? Timothy Dalton, among others. Go back to Russia, and really learn to play the piano. You don't fool me. I hope Mel's lawyers really expose you for what you are. You should be charged with fraud and extortion,Oksana.
ye she is a fake. A pretty Russian girl like many others all about scamming the rich americans for money.
Mel has some personality problems for sure, but beating on ladies? I doubt that. Expecially where she initially gives Mel rights to jointly see his daughter. NO WOMAN in their sane mind would allow a physically abusive partner to hold their child alone. I'm pretty sure she is faking it, just to get Mels money. Things just don 't add up with this woman. Given Mels past issues in the media, it'd be a great time to kick Mel where it looks more believable. Mel aint bright.... she is smarter. Mel is a MAN, so you can't change some ways a man thinks even if he know s he may shoot himself in the foot. Thing here is, can Mel get past this one, I don't know.
Sorry but she has the tape of him with his vile threats. Mel's camp is sickening. Gross man! Hope she makes a mint off of him.
she is lying,she just wants his money,she is trying to trap him..
More wholesale character assasination, self-righteous indignation and politics of personal destruction when it comes to Mel Gibson. What else is new? The tapes have not even been released and already Gibson has been condemned. Whatever happened to the outrage over Roman Polanski? Oh, that's right. Polanski is a Hollywood darling so that all got swept under the rug by his friends like Woody Allen. ;-)
I suspect that the tabloid laden media was too quick to condemn Mel Gibson on this one. None of it seems to add up. More importantly, when did the mainstream media start treating garbage gossip sites like TMZ as if they were a legitimate news authority?
i forgot to add, that she will grow up with a father who has some really messed up views/opinions and bad ways of conducting himself.

It seems to me that there are more positions, or more roles from traditional positions, in this offense than we are used to from most offensive concepts. Jackson and Spiller for example really play two different roles; then there's a FB, an Hback, four different types of receiver, two types of TE, and, with the stupid wildcat, two types of QB. With the five linemen that's SEVENTEEN jobs that see action on offence. Wow.
I think they should have Kelsay in as LE on some second downs spelling M. Williams … I don't know why they switched Kelsay to the right (in OTA's and mini-camp anyway), are they going to rotate Kelsay, Anderson, and Merriman all at RE?
Why not just have Kelsay back up Williams and Merriman back up Anderson and rotate them a bit? We actually might end up with Merriman starting – he was amazing against the run last year btw. How about then keeping Sp. Johnson as a backup tackle? I've seen more good play from him than the others IMO – essentially from the tackle position. I see Carrington as the other back-up DT, but preseason will tell. I wonder what that pool of FS's that other teams cut will look like. Do you think we might see M. Williams, M. D., K. Williams, Anderson, and Merriman all on the field at once? That's a lot of fire-power and speed.
I don't see keeping two kickers. That makes no sense to me, Lindell can kick it out of the end-zone on kickoffs. What's there to talk about? It kinda upsets me actually.
If Batten can long-snap really GOOD then keep him, otherwise keep Sanborn. It's really embarrassing when that gets botched.
I am really looking forward to seeing who returns kicks, will T.J. take some?
I cannot wait. They are really going to be good. -ahem-knock on wood-

When Jamie Benn says he is going to prove someone wrong, he very well just might do exactly that. After being left off of Team Canada's preliminary orientation camp roster, Benn and linemate Tyler Seguin both committed themselves to playing their way on to Team Canada for the upcoming Olympic Games in Sochi. Since that time, they've proven to be one of the most dynamic duos in the league.
Despite Jamie Benn's recent struggles to put pucks past goaltenders on his own, his strong versatile playing style has a lot of pundits talking about the Stars captain. Benn's playing style isn't completely dissimilar to the style that earned Brenden Morrow a spot at the last Olympic games, and would give Canada the option to play him either up or down the lineup, similar to how the Dallas Stars have use Rich Peverley this season.
ESPN had a feature on Jamie Benn outlining his chances of making Team Canada. Article by Pierre Lebrun and a video featuring Barry Melrose. [ESPN]
The love doesn't stop there, and Jamie Benn makes Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski's list of Top 10 players that are earning their way into the discussion. [Puck Daddy]
Jamie Benn's two primary linemate, Tyler Seguin and Valeri Nichushkin, were once seen as big gambles that were taken by rookie general manager Jim Nill during the summer. Now both players are earning universal praise for their contributions to a young and dynamic Stars offense. CBS Sports wrote about how Jim Nill's early gambles are paying dividends in a big way. [CBS Sports]
Speaking of risky deals, the hot rumor around the NHL this week is another expansion. While the NHL didn't make their plans official, they did some heavy hinting that a 32 team league could be a lot closer than you probably think. Obvious locations like Seattle, Las Vegas, and Quebec are always mentioned as potential relocation or expansion candidates, but the State of Connecticut refuses to let their dream die. Could Hartford see a return of the Brass Bonanza? [Collinsville Press]
Similarly, could the NHL revive another old WHA market, and give the Stars the geographic rivalry that they've so desperately needed the last two decades? With the AHL's Houston Aeros now a thing of the past, there's a legitimate hunger for top flight hockey down in Houston. Wouldn't that be fun? [Houston Press]
Son of Dallas Stars great Dave Gagner, and pretty solid hockey player in his own right, Sam Gagner, better have thick skin if he's going to make it in the new Pacific Division. Case in point, the poor kid was mocked by Zach Kassian of the Vancouver Canucks for wearing a protective jaw shield of all things. You stay classy, Vancouver. [Puck Daddy]
The NHL's latest attention grabber, the Coors Light Stadium Series, has been a bit of a let down for most uniform connoisseurs, placing most teams in a very cookie-cutter template with "chromed out" crests and slanted arm numbers. That said, the Pittsburgh Penguins Stadium Series sweater has a lot of potential... and I'm not just saying that because it's a super-pointed and slanted version of the Stars very attractive road jersey. [Pittsburgh Penguins]

A pair of pink capri pants described as similar to those worn by 21/2-year-old Caleigh Harrison the day she disappeared from Rockport's Long Beach last spring has been found on Good Harbor Beach, and both Rockport and Massachusetts State Police, with the help of Caleigh's family and DNA experts, are trying to confirm whether the pants are, in fact, hers.
According to Rockport police reports, a 59-year-old man walking on the north end of Gloucester's Good Harbor Beach notified officers when he found shreds of the pink Old Navy capri pants — seams, pockets and waistbands still intact — tangled in lobster gear and washed ashore Friday, just days after a nor'easter pounded Gloucester.
Rockport Police Chief John "Tom" McCarthy told the Times Monday that the pants are "very, very similar" to the pink pants that Caleigh was wearing on April 19, the day she disappeared while on an outing at the northern end of Long Beach with her mother, Allison Hammond of Gloucester, along with her then 4-year-old sister Elizabeth, and the family dog.
McCarthy added that Hammond has viewed the recovered pants, but that she has not be able to "confirm with certainty" that they are Caleigh's.
Rockport Police Lieutenant Mark Schmink said police will send the pants for DNA testing once the family and investigators have had a chance to view the capris.
Schmink added that Caleigh's father Anthony Harrison — who was estranged from Caleigh's mother when the girl disappeared — would be unable to identify the pants because, as Harrison told police, he had never seen the clothing worn by Caleigh on the day of her disappearance.
"He had never seen the pants before and he wasn't with her on this day, so he couldn't have known them (the pants)," Schmink said.

Attention all Staff, Faculty and Students
Defend against the flu this season
Influenza and norovirus are hitting areas of the province particularly hard this winter. To help protect yourself, get a flu shot (health clinics, your doctor, and pharmacies). Also, wash your hands with soap and water several times a day. If soap and water is not readily available, use alcohol-based hand rubs.
Annual Flu Clinic
The annual flu clinic was held on November 4, 2013.
Information on the BC Ministry of Health's January 16, 2013 news release, ministry's detailed flu information, and Interior Health's specific flu clinics can be found here:
The facts on influenza and norovirus in B.C.
What is influenza?
Where can I get vaccinated?
- Public Health Centres
- Family physicians
- Nurse Practitioners
- Certified Pharmacists - under Community Lists click on K for Kelowna.
- Private providers such as travel vaccination clinics
Last reviewed 8/13/2014 1:33:14 PM
Flu shots are administered at a wide variety of locations across the province, including public health clinics, physician's office, and pharmacies.
To find the nearest flu shot provider, visit ImmunizeBC's Flu Clinic Locator or call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1.
Flu season continues (January 2014 update)
To reduce the spread of influenza this flu season, students, faculty and staff are reminded that the flu virus is mainly spread person-to-person through coughing or sneezing by people infected with the flu virus. People may also become infected by touching something with the flu virus on it, such as counters or doorknobs, and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
To help minimize the risk of flu and other illnesses common at this time of year, UBC's Okanagan campus has increased housekeeping in high traffic areas, and hand sanitizer is provided where sinks and soap are not available. Even if you have not received a flu vaccination or cannot due to current shortages of vaccine in BC, you can minimize your exposure to the flu and other illnesses by washing your hands often.
Please note that an influenza vaccination is not effective against other illnesses such as colds and gastro-intestinal viruses that are often mistaken for the flu, but which are not actually influenza. Again, hand-washing is an important factor in reducing your risk of getting sick.
Getting a flu shot
BC's Provincial Health Officer notes that "people who have not been vaccinated this season are encouraged to take the usual preventive measures, such as regular hand washing, staying home when sick and avoiding contact with those who are at high risk to develop complications from influenza."
Anticipating increased demand for flu vaccinations, BC is expecting about 5,000 more doses to arrive during the week of Jan. 21 and another 3,000 doses during the week of Jan. 28, and the Province has requested another 13,000 doses. These vaccines will be available to eligible persons in all regions of the province, based on demand.
In addition, B.C.'s PharmaCare program has expanded the coverage criteria for antivirals for the 2013-2014 influenza season to include anyone with lab-confirmed influenza A or B, or with influenza symptoms. Physicians can now write prescriptions for people experiencing these symptoms. Antivirals can help reduce the symptoms of flu and help people recover more quickly.

The opening ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi took place Friday night, but those in Las Vegas don't have to travel thousands of miles to Russia for a first-hand feel of the games.
Many former Olympians perform in showrooms all along the Las Vegas Strip.
"I don't know what you're talking about because this is hard work," said former Olympian Isabela Moraes after she was asked, sarcastically, how retirement is treating her. "It's different work, but it's hard work."
Isabela and her sister Carolina Moraes are identical twins and two-time Olympians who represented Brazil in the 2000 and 2004 summer games as synchronized swimmers.
After reaching the finals in Athens in 2004, the duo almost immediately bolted to Las Vegas and have been part of Le Reve at Wynn Las Vegas for eight years.
"Training for the Olympics is very technical, so strict on synchronization," said Carolina Moraes. "Here at Le Reve we can explore our artistic side completely."
Both sisters believe had they not been Olympic athletes, they would not have performance careers in Las Vegas.
The pair are two of six Olympians that are part of the show's cast.
Le Reve has turned enemies into friends.
"We actually competed against each other. At one point we were rivals and now we work together," said Isabela Moraes.
Life in a Las Vegas Strip production has been more demanding in many ways versus life as an Olympian.
"We learn theater, we learn dance, we learn percussion. Some synchronized swimmers even do aerials," said Carolina Moraes.
Thankfully, the pay in their professional lives versus their Olympic days does not synchronize.
"It's actually great to have a stable career as a synchronized swimmer. It's perfect," said Isabela Moraes.
The pair plans on working in the production until their real retirement age, many years from now.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Shepherdsville man pinned an elderly victim
against a car and stole his wallet outside a Louisville restaurant on
October 29, according to police.
Police say Richard Smith, 43, confronted a man using a walker and his
wife, both of them 80 years old, and asked for money on the parking lot of
Outback Steakhouse at 6520 Signature Drive. According to an arrest report,
the man gave Smith $10 from his wallet and continued walking to his car.
Then, police say, Smith followed the man, pushed him against his car and
took the man's wallet from his back pocket.
Smith is accused of using the victim's debit card to make a $51 purchase
a short time later at a Speedway gas station on Crittenden Drive. Police
say Smith signed the victim's name on the receipt.
Smith was identified by video surveillance. He is charged with first
degree robbery, second degree forgery and fraudulent use of a credit card.

Some actors play music on the side, others write novels, while some dabble in painting or other artistic pursuits. But for Kristen Stewart, she likes to get creative in her free time with poetry, and she's sharing with the world one of her works.
The actress has unveiled "My Heart Is A Wiffle Ball/Freedom Pole"—a title worthy of James Franco—in the pages of Marie Claire. Describing the result as "so embarrassing" we'll let you judge for yourself below. And in case you're wondering, she wrote it during a road trip last year following the Rupert Sanders scandal and her breakup with Robert Pattinson. So many emotions ... [via The Wrap]
My Heart Is A Wiffle Ball/Freedom Pole
I reared digital moonlight
You read its clock, scrawled neon across that black
Kismetly … ubiquitously crest fallen
Thrown down to strafe your foothills
…I'll suck the bones pretty.
Your nature perforated the abrasive organ pumps
Spray painted everything known to man,
Stream rushed through and all out into
Something Whilst the crackling stare down sun snuck
Through our windows boarded up
He hit your flint face and it sparked.
And I bellowed and you parked
We reached Marfa.
One honest day up on this freedom pole
Devils not done digging
He's speaking in tongues all along the pan handle
And this pining erosion is getting dust in
My eyes
And I'm drunk on your morsels
And so I look down the line
Your every twitch hand drum salute
Salutes mine …
bones | May 25, 2014 12:18 PM
I like. Its not bad.
Benjamin Goldberg | February 14, 2014 2:07 PM
Kristen, here's a little about what I don't like. I donât like the fact that Iâm about to give you props. I donât like that I am simultaneously horrified and titillated by the ridiculous, yet strangely endearing title of your poem. I donât like that I started reading your poem expecting to think it was total garbage, and that by the end of it, I found myself questioning the promise of what I was writing in my early twenties. I donât like that your poem is, in many ways, comically flawed, but is all the more compelling for it. I donât like that I didnât come up with a neologism as goofy and novel as âkismetly,â despite the unlikelihood that I would ever want to do so. I donât like that as I read your poem, I found myself trying to pry free from the grip of some of your poemâs genuinely striking lines ââ¦Iâll suck the bones pretty,â or âDevilâs not done digging/Heâs speaking in tongues all along the pan handle.â I donât like that your poemâs abundance of problems at the syntactic, semantic, formal, sonic, and imagistic levels (as exemplified by lines like âSomething Whilst the crackling stare down sun snuckâ), do not, at least for me, entirely undermine its merits or potential. I donât like that I find myself disagreeing with much of the negative feedback flooding the comments sections of the forums in which your poem is being discussed. I donât like that I found your poem compelling enough to seek out what people are saying about it. I donât like, Kristen Stewart, that if you choose to commit yourself to writing poetry, you could probably become pretty good at it within the not-too-distant future. And I especially donât likeâhater that I amâthat despite everything I say about your acting, if I were to try to become an actor, youâd still be Wallace Stevens to my Robert Hillyer.
Thomas | February 13, 2014 12:34 PM
I wonder if Kristen Stewart wrote this at all. I think some quite experienced poet may be having you on, with her collaboration. Some of it is quite sophisticated, even striking. I might be doing her a big disservice, but this doesn't sound like the Kristen Stewart I've heard in interviews, groping for, like, expletives, like. I don't hear that voice coming up with 'Your every twitch hand drum salute/salutes mine'!
Cait | February 12, 2014 5:24 PM
The reliance on adjectives and adverbs, which are the weakest elements in a sentence, makes me cringe. Once you strip away the unnecessary description (show and not tell, people), however, the scaffolding of the poem is decent. She, like any young writer, insists on using an over abundance of modifiers, which succeeds in muddying the figurative language and weakens the language, as a whole. If you find that you have to qualify a noun or a verb with a descriptive word then the chosen word is not strong enough to withstand the meaning or emotion that is being employed. Once she figures out how to control her language and aesthetics without relying on descriptors, her work will be more concise and readability will improve. Part of this process is understanding which words are now considered familiar and overused such as neon.

From a 'failed writer/storyteller' who writes long boring technical and legal documents for a living: this is beautiful. I find it better than a lot of Kerouac stuff. Most of us will never achieve our highest dreams but when there are others who trying to get there, it should remind us that only those who take the chance make it.
Mary | February 11, 2014 10:24 PM
Immature, unintelligent, pretentious girl who cannot act and now apparently cannot write a good poem. She comes off as a 16 year old who thinks saying stupid things that make no sense is actually very deep and philosophical, and immaturely doing exactly the opposite of what people request you to do, without any purpose or goal, is thought of as rebelling against society or not conforming to its norms. I really hope she sticks to her independent films where she can continue to act in movies where all she does is looks depressed or looks constipated.
fluffernugget | February 11, 2014 10:23 PM
I think people that like this are just doing the "I don't understand it therefore it's brilliant" bs. This poem doesn't even make any sense' like not even a little bit.

Open Letter to Kristen Stewart (re her poem)
Dear Kristen Stewart,
Iâm a poet and professor at UCLA, and thought you might be interested in what some of my poet friends (most of whom also teach and are otherwise very accomplished) and I have been writing on Facebook about your recent poem published in Marie Claire. This is partly to address the apparently universal opinion by journalists â most of whom seem to not know anything about literature â that this is a terrible poem.
Another poet here in Los Angeles â he studied linguistics and works at Google â wrote âFor someone who never went to high school, I think âYour nature perforated the abrasive organ pumpsâ shows a pretty promising imagination.â I think what he means is that there is genuinely Surrealist element in the first stanza â âabrasive organ pumpsâ could have been written by Antonin Artaud â and has some real shock value. This same poet wrote (in response to some negative commentary on the FB feed):
Not sure why folks are hating on this poem. Itâs young, but the more I read it, the more I like it. For someone just starting out, it isnât overly freighted with expectations of what a poem should do or be. If itâs âbeatâ, itâs more Bolinas or young Bernadette than hortatory elder beat. That first line is weird and inspired. And moonlight strafing the foothills, nicely observational.
You found your strongest defender in a poet, editor and teacher at a major university in the Midwest. She wrote:
I actually think this poem is TERRIFIC. I guess thereâs something wrong with me. It has a great punchy energy, itâs strange, and I never know where itâs going next. I would put stars all over this poem if it were turned in in my class⦠Also the language isnât boring â kismetly and ubiquitously have a nice feel to them. I think this is pretty great.
I think you were really brave to publish this poem, especially in a magazine in which you canât merely hide behind their literary credentials to help it pass. Keep going!
Kismetly yours,
Brian Kim Stefans (and a bunch of other poets)
Richard | February 11, 2014 7:53 PM
I can see for the comments that people wit high school degree is here.And for the tone I figure that you are full of hate and envy.Is so good that Kristen don't put attention to that and that she is enjoying life with a good account in the bank.Now go and work hard to pay your bills and stay away from the computer and get a life.

I'm a published poet and this isn't THAT bad. While not great, I've definitely read much, much worse.
chulesee | February 11, 2014 12:27 PM
When you attach to a story this headline, "Must Read: KS's Embarrassing..." it is clear immediately that the story is nothing but a cheap insult. Sorry not to write more, but I have to go to a bear baiting, or is that a stoning, or maybe I will just write "Kick Me" on a bunch of post-its and stick them to the backs of people I don't know. Where are you, right now, by the way, just asking...
Emma-Jane Charlotte Chloe Lauen Pattinson | February 11, 2014 8:15 AM
OMG this poem has completely changed my life. I was in such a dark place and I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning but then I read this poem and it changed my life in more ways than I can begin to fathom because it touched me on a spiritual and emotional level. My soul is rejuvenated like cacti in a desert. Love Robsten FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psych! Kristen sort your self out please love you but come on stick to the moody faces. Lot of Love your Number 1 fans from England! So kawaii!

Mike | February 10, 2014 9:06 PM
But then again, that so called poem is hilarious and with is a freedom pole, lol
Mike | February 10, 2014 9:02 PM
Lesson learned for indiewire- don't post anything related to Kristen Stewart or this site will be inundated by hilarious comments from her die hard fans.
Sean | February 10, 2014 6:43 PM
F the haters IndieWire that are commenting & probably trolling. Great article Kevin. A great laugh haha.
This so called "poetry" is absolutely dreadful, pretentious, & thoroughly embarrassing. Like honestly, WHAT THE F&^% is she saying?!?! lmaooo
Her & Mr. I'm not famous anymore Shia, need to go hook up & wear bags over their heads, speak in tongues, & "suck each others bones"....
- 1 sleeps around with a married director (cheating on RPatz only the guy every teen girl wants to be with) smh
- the other just plagiarizes everybody known to man, & gets into fights & loses haha
Their both immature children whose arrogance is unbelievable especially given their lack of any talent whatsoever. If only they could JUST GO AWAY & others more deserving be in the spotlight...
Pirate Prentice | February 10, 2014 5:40 PM
Look, it sucks, but it's not a damn bit distinguishable from 99% of published poetry.
Suzy Hall | February 10, 2014 5:29 PM
Poetry, one more thing she can't do!
kevin | February 10, 2014 4:01 PM
Kevin,you forgot to add that SWATH part 2 is not going to happen.This is more important information than some poem:)
E | February 10, 2014 3:40 PM
Oh please. one minute she's "shy" the next minute a "fierce badass". She is what she is: a bad actress who's false sense of entitlement and arrogance caused her to ruin her own career by getting caught sleeping with her director. Oh and that poem sucks ass.
Guest | February 10, 2014 3:17 PM
Love Kristen Stewart. What a wonderful poem. So full of emotion. Great future and career ahead for Kristen. She's moving forward and not looking back. Only the tabloids and some fans of a certain person that can't move forward.
Amber | February 10, 2014 3:12 PM
Embarrassing? Shame on you for picking on a clear attempt at bravery and vulnerability. Not embarrassing in the slightest, this piece is lovely. It's too bad you're perpetuating persecution of a person built upon nothing but judgmental gossip.
Eric P. | February 10, 2014 3:04 PM
Wow, I thought I sucked. What the hell did I just read? Pretentious horse shit. At least people seem to like it. Good for her. No more criticism from me.
colin | February 10, 2014 2:35 PM
it's not bad, you guys are dicks
GingerHenny | February 10, 2014 2:21 PM
Not sure why you think it's embarrassing. The poem means something to her and she was kind enough to share it. The article and comments show how intolerant and prejudice the public is. It's not Kristen Stewart's poem thats embarrassing, but people who are small minded and making fun for sake of being a judgmental nitpicker.
oogle monster | February 10, 2014 2:18 PM
This comment section is giving me LIFE! Cheers, Playlist.
Guest | February 10, 2014 2:16 PM
I think the only thing embarassing here is you Kevin. I like the image of "One honest day up on this freedom pole." It's day spent away from hacks like you.
aris | February 10, 2014 1:52 PM
Lol She's so damn embarrassing. Her whole ''idgaf'' attidue is screams desperation
guest | February 10, 2014 1:41 PM
wait, Jennifer Lawrence talks about armpits and burps and the journalist writes as she is gorgeous, inteligent and mature but if kristen stewart writes a poem full of metaphor about life, with phrases that journalists don't understand, she's embarrassing?
Tammy | February 10, 2014 1:28 PM
Kevn Jagernauth, I hope you don't have a daughter, or a sister the same age as Kristen because one day, you will realize what a jerk you are when one of your women being treated the same. Karma.
1974 | February 10, 2014 1:11 PM
Hmm, I still don't know if Playlist loves or hates Stewart...
Rob | February 10, 2014 1:10 PM
How does you taking a mean and unnecessary jab at Kristen Stewart for trying something different qualify as news? Since when did this site become TMZ?
Anne | February 10, 2014 1:09 PM
Wow. Journalism really is dying.
Sarah | February 10, 2014 1:09 PM
An obviously very shy person opened up enough to let a personal poem be published and you and Perez Hilton use it to try to bait people to mock her. Good going. Must be a proud moment for Indiewire.
guest | February 10, 2014 1:00 PM
is this a gossip site or movies?
Mary | February 10, 2014 12:56 PM
I thought this site was written by professional journalists.... disappointed
Anne | February 10, 2014 12:54 PM
I thought this was a serious site about movies, not a shit gossip site that hangs around the artists.
daz | February 10, 2014 12:53 PM
This reminds me of Friends' episode when Joey was writing a letter to the adoption agency and he used some computer application to replace every word with "better sounding" word. She did the same thing right?
mark | February 10, 2014 12:52 PM
Really speaks to how much smoke this girl has had blown up her ass that she's proud of this.
guest | February 10, 2014 12:52 PM
you're so idiot theplaylist
ash | February 10, 2014 12:48 PM
A new poestress is born.
Dell | February 10, 2014 12:46 PM
Lol what a piece of sh*t. Another Shia in the making, lol.

Paris, France 1969. A futuristic spy film is being made. The moon 2001. Stunningly beautiful agent Codename Dragonfly gets suited up to infiltrate Mr. E's moon base in a skintight, pink spacesuit!
One star?
The scene suffers from the scene within a scene structure that comes in and out of the entire film. The film within the film's director, played by Jeremy Davies, is reviewing the suit-up scene in the cutting room as we the audience are viewing it for the first time. He has probably seen the scene several times so he fast forwards it!!!
Now, this would be fine if it was a lengthy suit-up scene that was in slow motion to begin with therefore making fast forward seem like regular speed...
It is a blissful few seconds of fast forward but, alas, too fast.
In a movie saturated with fashion and beautiful people about making a sleek, futuristic spy film saturated with fashion and beautiful people...you may expect a decent suit-up scene. The lonely star of this review, dimly shining down on the sound stage moon base, knows otherwise.

In the Philippines, ex-leaders don't fade away — they engage in extreme feuding
Subscriber content preview. or Sign In
A hybrid variety of politics, combining hothouse and fun house, is cultivated in the Philippines. The latest example emerged toward the end of last year and received a flourish of attention at the beginning of January. The previous President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who is suffering from complications of spinal surgery and is under "hospital arrest" while awaiting trial on charges of plundering the national sweepstakes authority, received visits from two other former Presidents. They were Fidel Ramos, who ran the country from 1992 to '98, and his successor Joseph Estrada, who occupied that office from 1998 to early 2001.

1a. Chance Warmack G
Grade: 95.9 (NFL.com)
Why? - He's big, mean and one of the best interior lineman to come out in a while. The Rams need help in a lot of areas but a strong team is built with an elite line. Besides that we need to look for the best player we can find and with this draft class being particularly weak at the top I see this being the best the Rams can do. We could also look in the direction of Eric Fisher but with him becoming the bell of the ball at the senior bowl I see a team reaching early on him. My only reasoning that Warmack will still be there is that guards are drafted lower than other lineman historically, just look what happened to David Decastro last season after the pre-draft hype he received.
1b. Lane Johnson OT
Grade: 86.9 (NFL.com)
Why? - Barry Richardson... On a more serious note this man is playing very well in the senior bowl and his draft stock will only rise. One O lineman will not fix our line but two will make it highly formidable. If you have seen Johnson then I'm sure you've seen he is a highly athletic lineman with good technique who could be a great asset if he filled his frame out just a little bit. He's not a project, he is NFL ready and like I said an elite line makes an elite team.
2. Justin Hunter WR
Grade: 81.8 (NFL.com)
Why? - Potential, Potential, Potential! Being 6'4" and running a 4.4 is great and all but we have all seen workout warriors who just don't pan out. Justin Hunter will be different. What impresses me is that he was able to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving in the SEC coming off a bad knee injury. He will only get more healthy. He was able to play with the big boys which leads me to believe he will play well in the NFL. He has great speed, and uses his size well. It seems like teams have been down on him do to the though of him being injury prone. If he is still around in the second round he would be a steal and instantly upgrade our receiving core.
Ultimate Justin Hunter Highlights (via TheVikingsworld2011)
3. D.J. Swearinger SS
Grade: 81.4 (NFL.com)
Why? - HE HITS HARD! Beside that I see him as one of the most underrated safeties in this draft. He is somewhat small as a SS but with his viscous ability to hit he could be a game changer. He also is decent in coverage which makes him an instant upgrade to Dahl. In comparison he will look like an All-Pro. With him added to our secondary it will make us one step closer to being elite.
DJ Swearinger Highlights (via swagg36)
4. Phillip Thomas FS
Grade: 74.1 (NFL.com)
Why? - This man is a ball hawk. If one is good than two is better and the rams could most certainly use a play maker at FS. If anyone has seen the senior bowl or just watched this kid play he is always around the ball. I would say to look for a line backer at this spot but Thomas is of more value here. This class is somewhat weak at OLB and there is no reason to reach for someone who will ride the bench when a play maker is available. He may lack elite speed but his ability to be around the ball are what make him special. This will give out one big hitting safety and one center fielder. This draft could very well mold the Rams secondary as one of the best for years to come. Again this is such a strong class at this position I could see him falling although if he keep performing well he may be out of reach.
