Edwards member becomes first female active duty weapons chief in AF

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.
-- This year, Women's History Month will have special meaning to Chief Master Sgt. Christine Beaudion, 412th Maintenance Group Weapons Standardization Section superintendent. Creating history of her own, she reached an impressive milestone Feb. 29, 2012, when she was promoted to chief and became the first active duty female weapons chief in the Aircraft Armament Systems career field.
Beaudion's long-time goal of becoming a chief master sergeant was accomplished nearly 24 years to the day after she began her career in the United States Air Force.
"This is a goal I've had for a long time and I am so thankful to everyone who helped me get here," said Beaudion. "No one gets here without support -- enlisted, officers, civilians and, of course, the chiefs. I am extremely thankful for all the support over the years. I've truly learned something from everyone."
Beaudion set her goal to become chief early in her career when she noticed the lack of female leadership on the flightline and specifically in her career field.
"I've spent my career doing maintenance on the flightline and in maintenance there were not a lot of female role models," she said. "In fact, over the years, the Air Force saw more women in nontraditional roles in maintenance and as pilots, but there was never an active duty female weapons chief."
That lack of female leadership and mentorship motivated Beaudion to one day be in a position where she could serve as a role model to young Airmen and also function as a positive change agent.
"I've always approached things with a 'how can we make it better' attitude. Whether we're developing a new weapons system, improving day-to-day processes, or I'm giving advice to young Airmen," said Beaudion. "I always want to make things better."
Throughout her 24 year career in the Air Force, Beaudion maintained a track record of excellence and continued "to make things better." In fact, numerous times she has stepped up and performed duties beyond her rank.
"This is an incredible achievement for Chief Master Sgt. Beaudion," said Chief Master Sgt. Christopher McCollor, 412th Test Wing command chief. "This is a direct result of the continuous excellence demonstrated throughout her career. I am confident that we will continue to see great things from her."
Beaudion's responsibilities at Edwards include setting standards, developing policies and procedures for weapons loading on eight weapons platforms, and interpreting technical data and directives governing the weapons standardization program.
"Her impact extends so far beyond the scope of Edwards. The weapons systems developed under her supervision and guidance play a critical role in supporting the warfighter and allowing the Air Force to be successful in combat," said McCollor.
As superintendent of the 412 MXG Weapons Standardization Section, Beaudion works at both the tactical and strategic levels to increase safety, improve effectiveness and streamline processes for aircraft armament systems. She reports to the Wing Weapons Manager, Chief Master Sgt. Thomas Diaz.
"She is phenomenal at her job, both at the tactical and strategic levels. She really strives to make things better and is incredibly successful in doing so," said Diaz. "Above all else, she never forgets that she works for the United States Air Force and the critical role she plays in developing technology to support the warfighter. As I get ready to retire, I am fully confident in her ability to step up as Wing Weapons Manager here at Edwards."
Beaudion attributes her success to the remarkable people she met along the way, including her husband and best friend of 24 years, Patrick.
"I would never be where I am today without Patrick's continual support. Since we're both in the same career field, we had the privilege of traveling and learning together throughout our careers," said Beaudion. "Whether I need a sound board for ideas, a reality check, or time with my best friend, he has always been there for me."
For Patrick, seeing his wife accomplish her goal of becoming a chief master sergeant in the Aircraft Armament Systems career field prompted nothing short of pure elation.
"I am incredibly proud of Christine for reaching her goal; I know it hasn't always been easy. Having the privilege of watching her overcome the adversity she faced along the way, I really can't put into words how happy and proud I am," said Patrick. "I know she will continue making great contributions to the Air Force and the Airmen who serve."

Caricom working towards common framework for literacy survey
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Education officials and other stakeholders from the Caribbean Community (Caricom) on Wednesday ended a two-day meeting that sought to harmonise the measurement of literacy data in a bid to advance the production of reliable information for better decision-making.
The Caricom Fourth Technical Workshop on a Common Framework for a Literacy Survey under an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Regional Public Goods Project is being conducted in phases with workshops already held in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.
The workshops were designed to familiarise participants with the theoretical and practical aspects of literary assessments and the critical importance of literacy measurement in policy formation.
The organisers said the meeting here was aimed at expanding on the work done so far, focussing on recommendations for the improvement and finalisation of the regional survey instruments as well as other features including methodology, training guides and an interviewer's manual which is expected to guarantee the harmonisation of literacy data collected in the future.
They said that the meeting also discussed the work programme to be undertaken in the third phase of the project. Additionally, member countries are being assisted in conducting at least two literacy surveys expected to produce sound and comparable literacy statistics across the Caribbean Community.

Dozens of Durham School Services bus drivers gathered in North Charleston Tuesday evening to voice their concerns over school bus safety and employment issues.
The event, organized by the Teamsters Union of bus drivers, brought together national and international representatives and drivers from across the Lowcountry to discuss issues with Durham.
Claudia Herring has been a bus driver for more than ten years and has been a driver with Durham for the past two. She became emotional as she recounted an incident in November when she couldn't get in touch with dispatch after her bus allegedly caught on fire.
"My airbags exploded on my bus," she said. "I evacuated 20 children, still had no response. I asked my older children did anyone answer us, and they said no."
Herring also discussed how she had to report to work with a 102 degree fever because the school bus company reportedly does not allow sick leave.
"I have gone to work with a 102 fever because I can't afford to lose one day a pay because there is no sick leave," Herring said.
Sherryl Drake says her buses have a host of problems, including everything from water leaks to ripped buses. During her speech, Drake showed pictures of the reported damage to the crowd.
"Our maintenance is terrible and they are just turning their heads and not doing anything about our maintenance problems," Drake said.
Michael Bobby, Chief Finance and Operations Director with the Charleston County School District was at Tuesday's meeting. He tells News 2 that the, while Durham is responsible for maintaining a third of the buses, the state is in charge of making sure the rest are safe.
"We have a state bus system whereby the state fleet is way over age, and the amount of resources that are able to be given to support maintenance and care of buses is under funded," Bobby said.
He said that it is the district's goal to make sure children and drivers are safely transported by the buses. But Bobby stop short of answering if this is the first the district has heard the type of concerns raised Tuesday.
"Those are folks talking with a lot of emotion, so I am not going to speak to that because if we knew of an unsafe bus we would not allow it on the road. Period," he said.
According to Bobby, the district has planned to speak with Durham representatives about fixing the issues discussed at the meeting.
A spokesperson with Durham School Services released a statement to News 2 saying in part:

There is a serious lack of good nicknames on this team and I would like to introduce the idea of nicknaming Lopez "Yolo RoLo!"
Unfortunately, my first attempt at introducing my idea didn't go over too well. In fact, KingWes even threatened me with physical violence for introducing this term to the BE community.
Regardless, I remain steadfast in my desire to see this awesome new nickname applied to our new guy!
What do you guys think?

You might want to check under your bed for foamy green pods before calling it a night, Maniacs, as it looks like the body snatchers are up to their old tricks.
Longtime Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight warrior Dan Hardy was back in action earlier today (Sept. 29, 2012), taking a unanimous decision win from Amir Sadollah in front of a hometown crowd at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
His victory over The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 7 champion at UFC on FUEL TV 5 marked his second straight since a putrid 0-4 run inside the Octagon that began with a five round laugher against reigning division champion Georges St. Pierre back in 2010. It appears that Hardy is "back," and back for good.
So why isn't anyone breaking out the party hats?
Well, for a fighter who calls himself "The Outlaw," he pretty much followed the rules inside the cage today. I'm talking, of course, about the rules of engagement. Instead of throwing heavy leather until someone dropped, he put a little more mixed into his martial arts, complementing takedowns with ground and pound to batter his foe and coast to a sweep on the judges' scorecards.
He fought intelligently and followed a successful blueprint. But what did it cost him?
Fans are accustomed to seeing fighters play it safe to maintain their position withing the division. Nobody wants to roll the dice when they have a title shot within reach, just as a champion will sometimes do "just enough" to secure the win and retain the strap.
But a fighter who is 1-4 over his last five?
Let's face it, Sadollah is not a Johny Hendricks or a Jake Ellenberger type of puncher. If there was ever a fight to let the hands go and see what happens, today's was it. After all, isn't that what got him to the big dance in the first place? I certainly don't begrudge him for winning, but I think he may have failed to capitalize on a huge opportunity.
Was this a meaningless win?
Imagine if Hardy went all out and lost. It's likely the UFC would have afforded him another fight. But would his opponent be that much different than the one he's getting anyway? It's my opinion that if "The Outlaw" walked out of the Capital FM Arena with Sadollah staring at the lights and the crowd on its feet, he would have made himself much more marketable.
Which scenario gets him the bigger fight?
"Dan Hardy is back and has already knocked out two straight welterweights in his quest to return to the top of the division," or "Dan Hardy came back with a 'Bang' then showed he is indeed well rounded by outpointing a TUF champ."
"Nothing's changed. I want to get in there and fight guys. I'm a fighter and I come to fight, and I think as long as you show up with that mentality, the fight is going to be exciting because you're trying to beat the guy up."
From his post-fight interview:
"Yeah, I fought and just started trading punches. I like wars as much as you guys, but I've got to be smart, I've got to be sensitive. I've got to take my shots. It was a good fight, I enjoyed it."
He enjoyed it ... but did you?
Dan Hardy fought a smart fight and won. I congratulate him. I'm not an advocate of mindless striking or idiotic gameplans, but sometimes a fighter has nothing to lose and should just go for it. I doubt a loss would have earned him his pink slip and realistically, he's still miles away from title contention.
Or, maybe I'm just a silly mark who fell for the Mohawk and tough guy talk. I was a fan of the old gunslinger but I guess Rashad Evans said it best when referring to Hardy's new-found love for wrestling and takedowns: "If you can't stop 'em, join 'em."

Hippos is the Greek word for horse. Hippotherapy, or therapeutic riding, boosts conventional clinical therapy the children receive. Riding therapy works because the gait of a horse closely mimics the walking patterns of humans.
Todd Cepica, co-director of the clinic, says the secret might be in the way kids see it. They don't know it's therapy when they are able to enjoy the company of a horse but when they're in the clinic and being treated with therapy equipment, they know it's therapy. They are able to accomplish the same thing therapeutically, but it's play to them.
Royce May says he and his wife have seen great progress in their ten-year-old son, Britton, since he has been participating in Hippotherapy.
He adds that aside from the range of motion improvement, they have seen his speech greatly improve.
The clients also ride on a new outdoor sensory track. This type of therapy is usually done in an indoor arena. But this therapy is done at the outdoor Caprock Equestrian Center, which is more natural for the horses and more stimulating for the riders.
Undergraduate students take the principles of therapeutic riding course to learn the skills necessary to work in the field and then apply for certification within the North American Riding For the Handicapped Association.

Michigan ahead of Wharton in the Best Paper Award Innovation Management 2013
The team made up of Gautam Ahuja (University of Michigan), Curba Morris Lampert (Florida International University) and Elena Novelli (City University London) is the winner of this year's Best Paper Award Innovation Management, albeit by a very thin margin. The research team from the USA and UK was presented with the prize, which was awarded for the eighth time by the Strascheg Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SIIE) at EBS Universität and MikroFORUM, the high technology park in Wendelsheim, for its paper "The second face of appropriability: Generative appropriability and its determinants", that was published in the Academy of Management Review. The winning team received prize money amounting to 2,500 euros.
The second prize worth 1,500 euros went to Rahul Kapoor (Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania) and Ron Adner (Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College) for their paper on the topic "What firms make vs. what they know: How firms' production and knowledge boundaries affect competitive advantage in the face of an technological change". The article appeared in the journal Organization Science.
Jonatan Pinkse (Grenoble Ecole de Management), René Bohnsack and Ans Kolk (University of Amsterdam Business School) were awarded third prize and 1,000 euros in prize money for their paper "The role of public and private protection in disruptive innovation: The automotive industry and the emergence of low-emission vehicles", which was published in the Journal of Product Innovation Management.
"We have never before received so many entries from the international community, characterized at the same time by high academic quality and practical relevance", said a delighted Professor Florian Täube from the Strascheg Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at EBS Universität and Academic Director of the Best Paper Award during the award ceremony. "The very positive response underlines the standing and importance our award has gained in the national and international research community since it was initiated eight years ago. With this award we aim to further promote the exchange between the science and business communities and establish the topic of innovation management within companies. We are especially pleased that professors from such renowned universities and business schools as Michigan and Wharton, or last year MIT, have travelled from the USA for our final event."
Researchers from Europe and the USA submitted more than 40 research papers on the subject of innovation management to the Best Paper Award that has been under the patronage of Deutsche Bank since 2011. The award honours outstanding research work on economics and business studies issues, which deal with innovation and technology management from a practice-relevant perspective. Award criteria are the level of innovation and market or application suitability.
The three finalists presented their research work to an expert jury during the final on 26 June at the MikroFORUM high technology park in Wendelsheim. Afterwards the jury consisting of scientists and practitioners handed over the award to the winning team.
Jury members:
Dr Andreas Brokemper, Christian M. Schmahl, Professor Andreas Wald, Marc Launer, Thomas Hasselbach, Dr Lutz Rumkorf, Axel Stetenfeld, Professor Ronald Gleich and Professor Florian Täube.
The Best Paper Award 2013 is sponsored by:
MikroFORUM Hochtechnologiepark Wendelsheim GmbH, DPD Dynamic Parcel Distribution GmbH & Co KG, Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei KG, Aareon AG, Jeppesen GmbH.

For those who don't know or haven't been following Barcelona has been taking part in the King's Cup tournament in Madrid the past two games. They played Caja Laboral (defending ACB champion) in the semis today in a rematch from last year's finals and I figured I'd tune in. Since there isn't frequently a Rubio recap on here unless Ming comes to say "Scrubio still sucks" I figured I'd share my amateur opinion with all of you.
For what it's worth I've been watching ACB games for a few years now. Whoever said the best way to learn Spanish is to watch TV is crazy because I still can't follow a word the announcers are saying unless they say "Ricky 3 3 3 no entra." Since I can't really remember the chronological order of the game I'll just give my overall take and some good and bad from Rubio and Bjelica.
I guess I'll start with the game. Barcelona won 92-73. They got up by 10+ early in the 1st quarter, but let Caja Laboral get back into the game during the 2nd with a solid run led by Stanko Barac and (gasp) Nemanja Bjelica. Barca won the 3rd quarter huge and maintained their lead through garbage time.
The first impression I had to take away was JC Navarro was a monster. He's a completely different player than he was here. If you haven't seen him play for Barcelona you might want to treat yourself someday because he's pretty special. He had a couple of nice floaters and some deep 3's. His willingness to take runner-3's is unlike anything in the NBA (he didn't make it). He also hit a nifty 4-point play on the way to a 26 point game on 11-16 (3-7 from behind the arc). However, nobody really cares so I'll get to our Wolves.
For what it's worth I am not buying into the opinion that Rubio's been worse this year. He's obviously not the 1st or 2nd option for Barcelona and they're very much a half-court oriented offense. That being said he's significantly less flashy with the ball than he was with DKV Joventut. This could simply be the maturation of a player who's learning to take the easier play. His turnover numbers rose every season with Joventut coming to a peak with 3.0 in 23 minutes per game when he was drafted. Going to Barca his usage went down (not sure where to find usage ratings for euro, just know from watching) but his turnovers also dropped. This year he's playing 5 minutes more a game with only .1 turnover more and the best assist/turnover ratio in his career.
All that being said, in this game I was pretty impressed with him (even with my high expectations). I came in knowing I wouldn't see the Freebird Rubio that we know and love. What I did see was a smart, efficient (in this game) point guard with skills that will translate to the NBA. He hit a couple of open 3's (and missed another one). As the first quarter was ending he drew a foul and threw up a prayer from half court that I thought was simultaneous. I couldn't understand if the announcers agreed, but they were talking louder about something. He didn't get the call. He took a JC-esque floater with deft touch from the free throw line. While I was talking with a friend in Spain online I must have missed an and-1 that Rubio had as well. He finished with 10 points on 4-6 shooting (2-3 behind the arc) and his only miss from 2 was with the shotclock winding down on a shot he normally wouldn't take. He also missed a wide-open 3, but as has been established, he will do that. He didn't have any brain bending passes, but he had a great alley oop to Fran Vasquez on a pick and roll, and he almost had another from half court on an inbound to Ndong (Rubio missed about a foot too low for an alley oop, but Love or Pekovic would have finished on layups instead of trying to dunk an undunkable ball). His on-ball defense was pretty good, but Caja lacks NBA athletes at PG, so I'm still skeptical there. Overall a very good game for Rubio. If you'd like to watch him play tomorrow they'll play Real Madrid for the King's Cup at (hopefully) 11 and that game should be available on the stream formerly known as firstrow.net (now www.soccertvlive.net/).
I was very surprised to see Nemanja Bjelica get some time tonight as well. He came in (I believe) in the 2nd and helped spearhead a run against Barcelona that helped bring them back into the game. He's very skilled on offense and they even had him play some point forward (he didn't do too great at that) but he had some effective drives with some silky smooth finishes for a 6'11" guy. On the ball defense was alright, off the ball he looked lazy and confused. He was standing straight up 3 feet away from the ball carrier when he could have aggressively doubled on more than one occasion. Overall he was still very skilled and finished 4-6 (1-1 behind the arc) for 9 points. I was curious to see his stats from this year and was surprised to see he's shooting over 40% from behind the arc in ACB competition. He does still seem very raw for the NBA and another year for Caja should help him out. His defense worries me a little but all the tools are there (especially offensively).
Sorry if this got long-winded but I am tired of hearing about Rubio's trade value and figured more people than just me would care to hear how Rubio's playing on a game-by-game basis.

Take one LX model, add a few Special Edition niceties and you have the best value in the Accord lineup. My test car included the 166-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine (which your About tester feels is more than adequate in today's environment) matched with an optional 5-speed automatic. The SE adds a 6-disc CD changer, 16-inch alloy wheels, 4-wheel disc brakes and Electronic Brake Distribution, and comes well-equipped at $22,220. EPA estimates: 24 MPG city/34 MPG highway.
First glance: All the car most people need
It is every automobile journalist's dream to test a car on California's Highway 1. The combination of sweeping curves, an occasional hairpin, and spectacular scenery is equalled by few roads. If you need a suitable reminder, think Dustin Hoffman driving an Alfa Romeo in the 1967 film The Graduate as he races to prevent Katherine Ross from marrying a rival suitor. I lived that dream in this test of the Honda Accord SE but enjoyed something few reviewers are likely to experience. During my drive I passed vintage Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfas and incredibly restored classics you may never have known existed.
This was the day of The Tour, when entrants in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance car show are encouraged to drive their million dollar babies on the road. In such noble company and on such a demanding highway an Accord SE would not be a tester's first choice, and yet it performed handsomely, demonstrating the good road manners and handling that have always distinguished Accords. No neo-luxury car, it came with a 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed auto, manually adjustable seats, power doors/windows/mirrors, air, and little else. In plainer words, all the car most people need.Continued below...
In the Driver's Seat: Familiarity built into its genes
Driving from an unfamiliar airport onto unfamiliar highways in an unfamiliar car can be unnerving. Thanks to the valet at the San Francisco Marriott, it couldn't have been easier. He drew simple instructions on paper and offered advice on avoiding traffic. I navigated to my motel in Seaside (hereafter known as the Worst Western) without once getting lost. The other factor in this achievement, however, belongs to the Honda Accord, a car that has familiarity built into its genes. After a few minor adjustments with seats and mirrors I drove off feeling at ease.
After arriving at my destination I took a few moments to check the things that matter most to families. Climbing in and out of the front? Easy. In and out of the rear? Um, relatively easy. Head and legroom in back? More than ample; this is one sedan where riding in economy is not the equivalent of solitary confinement. No frills, mind you, but ample room to stretch those long limbs. Up front I appreciated the large instruments and intuitive controls, much as did with the very first Accord, a compact 2-door hatch. The current model bears little resemblance but with good sightlines and an airy greenhouse it makes the driver's seat a pleasant place to be.
On the Road: D-what?
Aside from the endless turns of California Highway 1, I was faced with a mix of busy expressway and urban traffic. Well, okay, Monterey isn't exactly Manhattan but the classic car week pumps its visitor quota up by about 1000%, creating a challenge for the humble visitor. Yet it was easy to thread most traffic needles with the Accord, which told me that the average suburbanite won't have difficulties backing into a parking space (you do back in, don't you, knowing it's the safest way to pull out?) or manoeuvering through the lines in the day school pick-up zone.
And since the average suburbanite these days is adept at driving with a certain amount of elan, I'm pleased to report that the Accord is responsive to those who accept that a road is more than a dotted line from A to B. The 4-cylinder engine is powerful enough for most situations thanks, in part, to the extra gear in that 5-speed automatic, although "D-D3-2-1" on the shift quadrant seems odd. If "D" is fourth, where's fifth? Or if "D" is fifth, where's fourth? It certainly had me confused as I shifted up and down for those hairpin curves.
Journey's End: Don't overlook the Accord
In the market's most competitive segment and halfway through its design cycle, the Accord might be overlooked. That would be a mistake for families with fast-growing children. It could also be a miscue for the driver who needs interior space yet still likes to have a little harmless fun at the wheel. (By which I mean driving quickly as opposed to driving fast.) Quite frankly, I never felt like a second-rate citizen because my tester was a more affordable SE; the Accord's a handsome car in any state of trim. And at no time did I feel the need for a V-6, not even when that classic Ferrari threatened to pass. (Just kidding, folks.)
Having said all that, you may think I'm head over heels in love. Not so. While trying to acknowledge the needs of young families (I have two sons with kids thus am not entirely out of touch), if I were young again I'd prefer the Honda Civic. I'd give up a little interior space to obtain better fuel mileage and even more nimble handling. But I'm not young in years, only in mind, and must place myself in the driving shoes of the Accord's potential owners. Versus the competition it has more soul yet retains the Accord's original spirit. What more could you ask of a family sedan?

Histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis (Proceedings)
Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Histoplasma capsulatum.
The mycelial form grows in soil enriched with bird manure or other organic materials therefore areas of old chicken coops and bird roosts present a potential hazard. The spores (microconidia) produced by the mycelium are small and can be inhaled into the lungs where at body temperatures they transform into the yeast form. The yeast are phagocytized by macrophages and distributed throughout the body.A subclinical infection can develop and the organisms can persist for a long time without significant clinical signs. In endemic areas, Histoplasma organisms can be recovered by culture from mesenteric and tracheobronchial lymph nodes of asymptomatic dogs.
In cats, the respiratory tract is a main site of infection but bone, bone marrow, liver, spleen, skin, and lymph nodes also affected. The intestinal tract, eyes, kidneys, adrenals, and brain less frequently involved
In dogs, the intestinal tract is frequently involved with liver, lung, spleen, and lymph nodes often involved. The bones, bone marrow, kidneys, adrenals, oral cavity, tongue, eyes, and testes may affected.
Traditionally the Ohio, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, and St. Lawrence River basins have areas where histoplasmosis is common but Texas, the southeastern U.S., and the Great Lakes region have also seen histoplasmosis.
All ages can be infected but infections in young cats are common. Most infected dogs are middle aged.
In cats, anorexia, weight loss and dyspnea are associated with respiratory involvement. Coughing may be seen and lameness is associated with bone involvement. The eyes and skin can be involved. Diarrhea with intestinal infection is less commonly seen.
In dogs, diarrhea and weight loss is the most common sign. Dyspnea, coughing and exercise intolerance occurs with lung involvement. Lymphadenopathy is occasional seen as is eye involvement.
Fever is common and harsh lung sounds occur especially if there is enlargement of the tracheobronchial lymph nodes with compression of the tracheal bifurcation. Hilar lymphadenopathy is common and may persist after other signs of infection have resolved.
Emaciation occurs especially in animals with intestinal histoplasmosis because of a combination of anorexia and malabsorption. The bowel loops may feel thickened. Signs of large bowel diarrhea with blood and mucous may be seen. Liver and splenic enlargement is common in animals with intestinal histoplasmosis. Some animals may be icteric. Pale mucous membranes may be seen because histoplasmosis may cause a hemolytic anemia. Lameness with bone pain is noted with boney involvement. Chorioretinitis and anterior uveitis may been seen.
A diagnosis made by identification of the organism is most reliable. The clinician should be suspicious of histoplasmosis when there is multiorgan disease that is unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Lung radiographs may be characteristic of a fungal pneumonia but other conditions such as lymphosarcoma may resemble the lungs of histoplasmosis.
In severe chronic diarrhea and weight loss, consider histoplasmosis as well as lymphocytic plasmacytic enteritis and lymphosarcoma. Organisms are ofter found on cytology of rectal scrapings. Cytology may identify colonic lymphosarcoma. In animals with hepatomegaly and spenomegaly, needle aspirates will often identify the organisms. Bone marrow aspirates are likely to yield Histoplasma organisms when there is systemic disease.
Complete blood counts may have a leukocytosis but this is non-specific. Moderate anemia is a common finding. The anemia may be the anemia of chronic inflammation but may be a hemolytic anemia. At times the antibodies produced to the Histoplasma organisms cross react with the red blood cells thereby producing a Coombs positive anemia. Liver involvement may produce increases in ALT and Alkaline Phosphatase while severe gut involvement may produce hypoproteinemia due to protein losing enteropathy. The Agar Gel ImmunoDiffusion (AGID) for antibodies strongly supports a diagnosis of histoplasmosis but many infected dogs will be negative early in the disease. Cross reactivity between Blastomyces and Histoplasma organisms is expected.

linkage + screensOur trademark research was right on the money! Square Enix will release Final Fantasy IV: The After, a direct sequel to Final Fantasy IV, in North America under the name Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. The ESRB spilled the surprise rating Final Fantasy IV: The After Years for Wii with an E rating and gave this description.
This is a 2D role-playing game in which players embark on an adventure involving magical crystals and a mysterious kingdom. Players traverse across a field map or through dungeons and can enter into turn-based battles along the way. Players use a menu screen to select attacks or magic spells against tiny enemies (e.g., leopards, birds, knights, fish monsters, etc.) that blink and disappear when defeated. An item called Bacchus Wine is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle.
Since all we have is a rating we dont know if Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be a retail release or if Square Enix will release the game in downloadable parts via WiiWare, similar to how the original mobile phone version was distributed in Japan.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years features Cecil, Rosa, and the entire cast of Final Fantasy IV years in the future. The story begins with their son Ceodore and introduces new characters like a brigade of ninjas under the command of Edge who is now the King of Eblan.

Fooch's Note: Updated with base salaries after the jump
It was really not all that long ago that the San Francisco 49ers became one of the first teams to truly mortgage the future in hopes of more Super Bowl titles under the newly minted salary cap. The early years of the cap saw the 49ers squeezing enormous contracts into a tight space year after year. Eventually they had to pay the piper and it led to a roster purge of epic proportions early last decade.
After basically being the impetus for the phrase salary cap hell, the 49ers have become a much more responsible organization with regards to the cap. One of the primary reasons for that is Chief Operating Officer Paraag Marathe. The 49ers COO has been with the 49ers since 2001 and has been the team's chief contract negotiator for some time. In that time the 49ers have maintained strong cap positioning while doing a solid job re-signing their own players to much deserved extensions.
The 49ers continue to take care of business on the contract front as the details of Ahmad Brooks contract are starting to come out. Matt Maiocco was able to provide some important details courtesy of league sources and as it stands, the six year $44.5 million contract is actually more along the lines of six years $37 million. The additional $7.5 million comes in the form of escalators and incentives.
Here are how the cap numbers look for the deal. Reminder, these are cap figures not base salaries, so they include base salary, prorated signing bonus and various roster bonuses. The base salaries are courtesy of the NFLPA via Eric Branch. 2016 and 2017 don't make sense with the base being higher than the cap hit so that is something we'll hopefully get sorted out .
The most important number for now is that the 2012 cap hit will be $2.85 million. The contract includes a $7.5 million signing bonus and another $10 million in guarantees. What I found particularly interesting were his roster bonuses. He will earn approximately $50,000 for every game he is active during the regular season. That adds up to $800,000 per season. That is not a monster sum in the face of the whole contract, but it is still noteworthy.
This comes across as a pretty respectable contract that can pay out well for Brooks, but will also keep the 49ers in a position to handle their business. I'm still not entirely sure where the 49ers are at cap-wise. The signing of Brooks and Spillman will take up approximately $4.65 million in cap space for 2012. According to MM, after these deals the 49ers have approximately $23 million in cap space. That is based on last year's cap, with this year's cap figure not expected to increase too much.
If the 49ers franchise Dashon Goldson and do not come to terms on a long-term deal, that is another $6.2 million off the cap, bringing it down to a little under $17M. I'm still trying to figure out if that also includes money dedicated to the 2012 draft picks as that would potentially be more money off the top. Alex Smith will likely get his new deal at some point, but it is hard to tell what the cap figure will be for 2012. And of course, the 49ers still have not announced if they will release or restructure Shawntae Spencer's contract.
The 49ers would obviously prefer even more cap space, but all things considered, they are in excellent shape moving forward. Why? Because Paraag Marathe is a bad ass.

By Jay Polk - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – It's that season again, time to get outside. Time to enjoy grilling out and playing in the park. Of course, summer means that it's the rainy season as well. At Public Works offices area-wide, they know the drill.
According to Donell Mathis of Dougherty County Public Works: "it's the season we should be on schedule."
On schedule means that you'll be seeing a lot more of the mosquito sprayer trucks.
"We have four trucks in operation that we'll be spraying five nights a week," said Mathis.
After a long slumber, local rain gauges got a workout on Monday and Tuesday with as much as 6" of rain falling in some parts of South Georgia. The standing water that was left behind is one of the best nurseries imaginable for mosquitoes.
And mosquitoes carry a lot of diseases, among them the West Nile Virus.
"Severe symptoms can cause encephalitis, which is swelling on the brain. And that can lead to confusion, coma and possibly death," said Jacqueline Jenkins, an Epidemiologist with Southwest District Public Health.
There has already been one case of West Nile Virus in Georgia and while it was in Clayton County, local public health officials are concerned as well. Part of the reason is the timing of that first case.
"About two months earlier than we usually see West Nile cases in our state," said Jenkins.
With the possibility of an active season, standing water in the public areas will be sprayed regularly. But mosquitoes don't respect property lines. And they don't need much room to breed.
"Mosquitoes can hatch out in items such as, as small as a bottle cap," said Mathis.
With that in mind, you can take some simple steps to reduce the mosquito population on your property, such as emptying or treating anything that can hold water, things like flowerpots and birdbaths. And there is one foolproof way to minimize the chances of you becoming dinner while you're out grilling dinner.
Jenkins said, "avoid being outside between dusk and dawn, those are the peak mosquito biting times."
And if you're going to be outside, you should spray on something other than cologne.
"Wear repellant that has DEET in it," said Jenkins.
With a little effort you can help to slap down the mosquitoes, and your chances of catching the West Nile Virus this summer.
Mathis says that Dougherty County residents who have a problem with mosquitoes can call them out and they can help you take care of the problem.
The good news about West Nile virus is that there were no cases in Southwest Georgia last year.

Columbia Dr. Gloria Bromell Tinubu of Conway, has filed paperwork to become a candidate for the 7th Congressional District seat. Dr. Tinubu was also the Democratic nominee in 2012.
Im excited and proud to be filing for this office. Its also exciting to be doing this on Day in Blue here in Columbia, being surrounded and having the support of so many outstanding women from across our great state.
I am running again because like many of us, I hoped that Rep. Rice would have gone to Washington and brought jobs and infrastructure to the 7th District, but unfortunately that has not happened. Over the next 8 months, Rep. Rice is going to be held responsible for everything he has done and better yet, refused to do over the last 18 months. And I look forward to talking with residents and business owners across the district and letting them know that I am going to fight every day to make sure our citizens have good paying jobs, that our children have a world class education, and everyone has the opportunity to live the American Dream.
For more information about Dr. Tinubu and her campaign, visit her website at www.gloriabromelltinubu.com.

With so many early games going today, I figured I'd get something up to start the conversation. Please note, I HAVE NOT included every pitcher worth watching on the below list. There are pitchers who will someday be good big leaguers getting starts today who are not on this list. It's not because I dislike your team (if you're a fan of the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox or Diamondbacks, I do dislike your team, but that's not the reason they're excluded). It's just because I'm lazy.
So, with that, here are some names:
Keyvius Sampson
Leondy Perez
Austin Kirk
Carolina League:
Britton v Vizcaino is the most interesting matchup
Robbie Erlin
Wojo goes for Dunedin
Eastern League
Mark Cohoon interests me for a reason I can't name
I don't believe in Eric Surkamp, but he keeps posting numbers
Have at it!

.- Cardinal William Levada has recommended that families turn to the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a "unique help" in discovering the beauty of the faith and to vocation of families.
The prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was speaking to participants at the Theological-Pastoral Congress, held in the context of the 5th World Meeting of Families, which ended Sunday.
The Catechism, and the recently published Compendium which summarizes it, "can help families and each one of us to discover the beauty of the Catholic faith and to live it joyfully, to transmit it to the new generations," he said.
The cardinal recalled that John Paul II highlighted the importance of the new Catechism as an "instrument of renewal and unity in the Church."
He also lamented the recent efforts in some nations to change laws that, for millennia, "have recognized God's plan for marriage and the family."
Cardinal Levada concluded his comments by underlining the importance of the Catechism within the family, stating that, "it could be a highly useful tool in the realization of [the family's] vocation and mission."

Sabbatini and Immelman were 2 up with three holes to play when Austin hit 6-iron into 6 feet on the 16th for a birdie, then holed a 15-foot birdie on the next hole to square the match. With the pressure on, Austin's 5-iron from 193 yards on the 18th just cleared a ridge and settled 5 feet from the hole.
After Sabbatini made his birdie putt from 8 feet, Austin closed out the match.
All but forgotten was another day of superb play from Austin, the 43-year-old former bank teller playing in his first team event. He delivered the key putts in a halve Thursday, and he was spectacular even soaking wet on a chilly afternoon, making eight birdies when his team needed them all.
It was the birdie he was trying to make that brought Austin so much attention.
The tees were moved up on the 14th hole so that it played 293 yards, and Austin pulled his drive just into the hazard. Sabbatini was on the green in one, Toms already was in the water, and Austin figured he had no choice but to try to get somewhere near the green for a shot at birdie.
"I knew deep down I probably couldn't pull the shot off,'' Austin said. "I was doing OK until I stepped on the rock. And once I stepped on the rock, I lost my balance.''
He was falling backward, then turned his body and went for the belly flop.
"I don't think I look any worse than I always do,'' Austin said.
He also has never been more proud of himself for the way he responded.
"I've never putted that good under those circumstances. But let's face it,'' he said. "I've never been in those circumstances before.''
In the first match of the day, Goosen chipped in for par and Angel Cabrera made a 10-foot birdie putt for a 1-up victory over Phil Mickelson and Hunter Mahan, the first match since 2003 in South Africa that the International team won on the 18th hole.
Canadian Mike Weir had another strong match a day after teaming with Singh against Austin and Mickelson, joining Ernie Els in a 3-and-1 victory over Zach Johnson and Charles Howell III. Geoff Ogilvy and Nick O'Hern also earned a point for the International team, beating Stewart Cink and Lucas Glover 1 up. In the lone U.S. victory, Stricker and Verplank beat Adam Scott and K.J. Choi 2 and 1.

The Oklahoma City Fire Department is investigating after a fire broke out at an apartment complex late Monday. Crews responded to the fire just after 9:30 p.m. Monday at the Oak Creek Apartments, 5915 S. Lee. Upon arrival at the scene, crews reported heavy flames. Fire officials evacuated approximately 50 people from the complex. Crews were able to extinguish the fire just before 10 p.m.
Crews say a mattress on the side of the apartment was set on fire which in turn caught the building on fire. The fire destroyed three units at the apartment complex. No injuries were reported in the fire. The Oklahoma City Fire Department is investigating the fire as an arson.

Generally you don't convert it, thus why would you need o do so ?
You either explain those special needs into a form that would let us understand if an alternative solution can be provided, or you don't, in which case the answer remains: no, you cannot "convert" a JAR into a SIS in any useful manner, just as you cannot convert chocolate ice-cream into a chocolate cake.
You should take some time to understand what a SIS file is, what a JAR file is and then ask again if you think that there should be possible to solve your problem.

then you could try making a Symbian application that installs the java application. Then the Symbian app would get installed, and you would have the java installation files as content, and when user clicks the icon for the Symbian application it would go and install the java application.
if you would Symbian sign the sis you could always try auto starting the Symbian app, but then you would need to wait until the installer exits, before you could attempt to start any additional installations.

Labiaplasty Center of Los Angeles
28212 Kelly Johnson Parkway, Ste 125, Valencia, CA 91355
10921 Wilshire Blvd #700, Los Angeles, CA 90024
"I have never experienced such a professional and dedicated team. You have enhanced my life for the better and I greatly appreciate that. It has been months now, without any complications or interruptions with my travel plans, I would like to take the time today to thank you… Just Because You're Awesome!!"
- Real Patient Testimonial
Labiaplasty Los Angeles
Some call it "The Lunchtime Lift." Pellevé is a revolutionary treatment for skin wrinkles that enables you to look better and feel better, with minimal down time or side effects.
It feels like a warm massage, but it's much, much more. Pellevé precisely applies advanced radiofrequency technology to heat the deep layers of your skin. There's no damage to the top layer of skin, and meanwhile the precision application of heat causes the collagen in your skin to tighten and contract.
Your skin then naturally produces new collagen, reducing wrinkles and leaving your skin feeling firmer and tighter. Pellevé is FDA-cleared, and many people see results immediately, after just one Pellevé treatment.
Some patients even say they have received a Pellevé treatment during the daytime and gone out on the town the very same night. It really is that simple — no downtime, no anesthesia, no preparation and no aftercare. Pellevé tightens and smoothes skin in under an hour, and you can reapply makeup immediately afterward so you can return to work or play.
Pellevé patient Grace, a new mom, says the absence of downtime was a big factor for her. She has a busy schedule, and she'd noticed some new wrinkles after that period of diminished sleep most new parents experience after the baby comes home.
"I do have crow's feet, and I do have imperfections that I am self-conscious about, and I was looking for a treatment that would improve all those imperfections and not give me a lot of downtime," Grace says. "I was so excited that after the treatment I noticed immediate results, and I was able to get back to work, and get back to my baby, and get back to life."
Most laser rejuvenation treatments produce significant redness, swelling or crusting after treatment. But Pellevé is a safe, physician-applied, virtually painless alternative that's less expensive and less hassle. While some patients may experience a little mild swelling or redness, these symptoms typically resolve themselves within a few hours of the procedure.
It's a comfortable procedure, too, but we do require the patient's feedback during it, so it's important not to apply anything to your skin beforehand. Just come in with a clean face — no makeup, and no topical anesthetics like numbing gels. You should also avoid taking any other pain medications prior to the treatment.
Pellevé offers a high level of precision, so it's great for tightening of skin and treatment of wrinkles in areas where precision is especially important. At the Labiaplasty Center of Los Angeles, we use Pellevé to treat facial wrinkles, including those around the eyes and mouth, as well as sagging skin under the chin. Lines on the forehead, crow's feet, wrinkles around the mouth — they are all suitable candidates for a rejuvenating Pellevé treatment.
It can also be used directly on the lips, to rejuvenate them and give them a slightly more plump appearance, and on other areas such as the neck and hands. You should see results after just one or two treatments, but for the best results it's recommended to undergo a series of three treatments, about a month apart. Results can be subsequently maintained with a single treatment every six months.
And, Pellevé treatments are respectful of your busy schedule in more ways than one: A facial treatment can be completed in less than an hour. Treatments for the neck, hands or chest can take even less, sometimes as little as 20 minutes.
They don't call it the Lunchtime Lift for nothing!

When to replace residential boiler? (8 Posts)
Rob September 16, 2002 @ 5:07 PM

When to replace boiler?How do I know when to replace my boiler? I have a small house (my mother's home, not mine) on Cape Cod with an oil-fired forced hot water heating system. The boiler, installed in 1983, is a Burnham Model RS 111 (manufactured from 1981 until 1998) which provides both heat and hot water... When I bought this 2-bedroom Cape-style house in 1997, I put a new roof on and insulated the attic for the first time (with proper ventilation, to prevent ice dams). I also checked to ensure that the walls were adequately insulated (they were). Then I had a local oil service guy come around and give the heating system a thorough inspection. He told me I had a fairly cheap boiler which, because it is steel (not cast iron) only has a lifespan of 15-20 years. As a result, I've been thinking I should replace it this Fall (or next Spring, at the latest). But I just spoke with Burnham and they told me these units have a lifspan of 20-25 years! Since my unit is only 19 years old, and its still working well, I now think I may not need to replace it for a few more years. Since my elderly mother lives there, I don't want to wait until it stops working altogether on some cold wintry day. How will I know when its time has come? Furthermore, the oil tank (which dates back to when the house was constructed in 1949) is not in very good shape... rust is taking its toll and I worry that I could have a major leak in 5-10 more years. So I was thinking of removing the oil tank and having natural gas piping installed... using gas heat and hot water would also allow me to install a gas kitchen stove... which I prefer to electric. Questions are: 1. How do I know when I need to replace the boiler? 2. Should I get cast iron for longevity? 3. Should I switch to a traditional tank-style gas hot water heater or what? 4. What other points should I consider? Help! All my years in college haven't prepared me for life as a homeowner!

When to replace?Rob, That unit you have was pretty good.I have found that the biggest drawback was the tankless water heater gasket.Which in time will leak and if not repaired can cause boiler failure from rot. If boiler has no signs of this happening I would keep it in.I would also keep the tankless water heater which needs to have boiler on year round,this will help the boiler last longer esp. on cape.When you do replace it cast is the way to go.As far as the oil tank I would consider replacement it's served the house well for over 50 yrs. I live in Middleboro Ma.(exit 3) and gas is higher here and I'm pretty sure even more on cape than oil. Hope This Helps! P.S. Check out post:Another Michigan Tragedy

re: When to replace?John, Thanks for the reply. (Couldn't locate the post you mention.) With automotive tires, one doesn't wait for a blow-out to buy new tires. (Well, most of us don't.) We look at the tread and, if there isn't much tread left, we replace. Is there something akin to "tread" that the service guy can look at to see if my boiler needs replacement? Or do I simply replace it based on the number of years in use? There's a gas line running down the street, right in front of my house. Yes, gas will probably cost a little more (hopefully not a lot more)... but I like the idea of gas for cooking and I don't like the oil tank. I'll reconsider the decision though - I might be able to live with a new oil tank and get gas into the house for cooking only. There seem to be two schools of thought on tankless water heaters vs the traditional tank style: 1) Tankless keeps the boiler in use all summer and thereby extends its life. 2) Tankless keeps the boiler in use all summer and thereby costs more to run. I'm not sure what to think about this issue. I've heard folks argue strongly for the traditional tank style - regardless of whether my boiler is gas-fired or oil-fired. Oh... yes, I will get cast iron when the time comes. More comments... please!

have the combustion chamberchecked out. My Inlaws had a 23 year old New Yorker (same basic boiler as yours)in their house. If I had caught the chamber replacement in time it would probably still be running. So much depends on wether the unit was taken care of over the years. A Corvette is a piece of junk with the wrong service people working on the car.See my point? The oil tank must be replaced ASAP. You dont want that mess in the house to deal with. I personally would stick with the oil instead of gas.

Hi RobThe RS series was my favorite boiler to clean. Like John said, make sure the coil gasket on top stays good. Over time the chambers like to drop, and that in turn drops efficincy somewhat, at worst the back of the tub starts to burn up.If those 2 things are in good shape, it would be reasonable to expect a few more yrs out of it.You will get better heat recovery with oil, and I would look at a cast iron unit with an indirect for hot water at replacement time.

I had a BurnhamRS109 in my house for 5 years - I got it used from a customer who switched to gas . I never had troubles with it till my copper radiant leaked and I used a sealant that fixed the leak , but coated the hot water coil also . We used to install the RS series quite often for customers who didnt want cast iron . To tell you the truth , I havent taken out a leaker yet - not even mine after the floor leak , and many gallons of makeup water . Today we use the Burnham RSA series - the newer version of the RS , and its a good piece of equipment . But for a little bit more money , I would go for the cast iron V8 line by Burnham . With the internal coil , it should be plenty of hot water for one person . I have 5 people in my house and our coil is workin fine . You always have the option of adding an indirect later on if needed . And youre better off changing it when the weather is on your side - nothing lasts forever . Good luck .
N/A September 16, 2002 @ 7:49 PM
Oh yea - brings up a question with BurnhamCan the V8 line be retrofitted with a gas burner ? How is the efficiency after the conversion ?
N/A September 16, 2002 @ 8:23 PM
Just about any boilercan be fitted with a conversion gas burner Ron. Because we have so many dedicated gas boilers, however, we do not offer, test or certify our residential oil boilers with gas burners. Provided all of the necessary safety devices are installed and the overfire and breech draft are correct, they will probably work well. There will not be a third party certification from us though because we have not tested and certified as such. If anything should happen with the boiler set up with the conversion burner, we can bear no responsibility. Our larger commercial pressure-fire boilers are available with oil, gas and gas/oil burners and are certified as such. Hope this helps Ron. Glenn

RALEIGH — A teenager accused of taking part in a January 2013 home invasion and sexual assault surprised the prosecution Monday when his attorney said the teen would plead guilty in Wake County Superior Court to the crime that bred lingering unease in the historic Oakwood neighborhood.
Shabar Marshalls attorney rose before Judge Henry W. Hight and said the teen would enter guilty pleas in an invasion of a Lane Street home on Jan. 7, 2013, and another invasion in Raleigh in late 2012. The husband of the woman raped on Lane Street was paralyzed when he was shot in the spine.
Marshall, who was 16 at the time of the Oakwood home invasion, was accused of committing the crimes with his older brother, Jahaad Marshall, who was 26. Police arrested the two in 2013.
Prosecutors contend the Marshall brothers entered the home through an open window in the early hours. The homeowners awoke to find the brothers standing over them, according to police and court reports. Prosecutors contend the younger Marshall sexually assaulted the woman in the upper level of the house while the older brother restrained the victims husband downstairs. The woman eventually escaped to a neighbors home. Her husband was shot in the spine during the incident, prosecutors contend, and the injuries left him paralyzed.
Jahaad Marshall, dressed in a red and white prison jumpsuit on Monday, entered pleas of not guilty to the string of crimes his brother pleaded to committing, setting up a trial that could bring the brothers together again in a courtroom setting.
Brother vs. brother?
Shabar Marshall, 17, wearing a green prison jumpsuit, said he would plead guilty to rape, sex offense, robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury in the invasion that occurred on Lane Street. He also said he would plead guilty to first-degree burglary, kidnapping and armed robbery in the Dec. 30 invasion.
A hearing is tentatively set for later this week. Hight will hear the facts of the case then and decide whether to accept the plea.
Accepting responsibility
The news from the younger Marshall came as a surprise to Boz Zellinger, the Wake County assistant district attorney assigned to the case.
Shabar Marshall and his brother remain charged in two home invasions that occurred in Northeast Raleigh in the late hours of Dec. 25, 2012, and early Dec. 26, 2012. Shabar Marshall did not offer guilty pleas in those incidents.
Shabar Marshall was convicted in November of first-degree burglary, kidnapping and larceny in a Dec. 11, 2012, home invasion.
George Kelly, the Raleigh defense attorney representing the younger Marshall, said after the Monday hearing that his client was accepting responsibility for what he had done.
It was not clear Monday when the judge would sentence Shabar Marshall. No plea deals had been offered for any of the charges, according to Kelly.
Kelly called the lack of a plea-deal offer unusual in Wake County but added that his clients willingness to acknowledge his involvement could be viewed as a mitigating factor in sentencing and spare the teen as lengthy a sentence as he might otherwise face. He has been sentenced to seven years in prison for the Dec. 11 home invasion.

Lots of possibilities and uncertainties, but I want to find out if NETS FO can make a run for these guys during the off-season. We all want D12 to be part of this team (the sooner, the better), and that we see him as the only signing partner of Deron. However, I'd like to set that aside and find some alternatives, until we see a clear sign from D12 that he wants to move on. I remember Proky mentioned the same thing when we backed out of the melodrama days... Something like "...we never see any indication that melo would like to plat for us...".
What's taken into consideration:
- Salary cap
- Unrestricted free agents
- Veteran leadership / Proven performance
Would signing these UFRs make DWill happy?
This list assumes that no trades are happening yet... Will teaming this up with the regulars - Farmar, Morrow, Outlaw & Brook - put us in the playoff spot? Early exit or do we have a chance to compete with Chicago, Heat, Knicks, or Boaton? Will we hit the max?
- SG: Miles or JRSmith or Sasha
- SF: James Jones or GHill or TPrince or AK47
- PF: Humph or Davis
- C: CHayes or Nazr

Like most things, when we find something we truly love, you'll have a hard time convincing us there's something better. So. When we add a new t-shirt bra into our stable of favorites, it's kind of a big deal. Chantelle's C Chic Sexy is just the kind of lovely basic we've come to expect from Chantelle, but it's ever-so-slightly fuller coverage in the cups and has juuust a little bit thicker and stronger mold for a little more oomph and architecture than our other fave Chantelle styles. Add on pretty extras like ribbon folded straps, subtle lace scallop on the band, and all-over-smooth print and, well, we have to say, welcome to the family.
Wear With
C Chic Sexy Demi Bra$68.00
This sexy demi bra offers some serious oomph and support, while the wide band and a peek-a-boo panel in the spacer pretty much guarantee cleavage vertigineaux.
This lovely lacy panty is one of the newest arrivals in Chantelle's canon of classics, and it, like all good upstarts, is brash and bold and playing all of its cards right.

In Reply to: misstamped dime/worth posted by Carol on January 02, 2006 at 20:18:57:
You probably have an off-center strike (this must be a big day - yours is the second post!) The coin blank wasn't centered in the press so the die did not strike a full image.
The value of an off-center strike varies by how much of the image is visible. Assuming this is a clad dime (more below) it might be worth $10 to $15 but you would have to take it to a dealer who specializes in errors to have it accurately appraised.
To clear up any confusion, assuming the coin shows a standard copper edge, the silver-colored metal is actually a cupronickel alloy. Silver was removed from dimes back in 1965. If you can't see the copper edge you may have an old silver dime - in that case you're lucky since it could easily be worth triple the price of a clad coin.
Second, the terms normally used to describe how coins are made is "struck" or "minted". Even though "stamping" is effectively the same thing, for some reason that term isn't used for coin production. (??)
: I have a misstamped dime--3/4ths of it is clear (no imprint) silver metal--a fourth is stamped to the point that you recognize that it is a dime but you cannot tell a date. What might this be worth?
: Thanks.

(Flowery Branch-AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons have sold out season tickets for just the second time in franchise history.
Last August, two months after they slashed prices on 23-thousand season tickets, the NFL said the Falcons were the first existing franchise to realize a 97 percent increase from one year to the next.
Now, with a waiting list in excess of 15-thousand, the team has reached a point at which only a thousand seats will be available for each of Atlanta's eight regular-season and two preseason home games. Single-game tickets, priced at 34, 44 and 56 dollars for all 10 games, will go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.
Atlanta hasn't sold out of season tickets since 1981, the year after winning its first division title and going 12-and-4 before losing a heartbreaking playoff game to the Dallas Cowboys.
