Let's NOT Talk About Sex, Baby
Despite a full-blown AIDS epidemic, some state governments bans sex education in public schools
New America Media, Commentary, Viji Sundaram Posted: Dec 01, 2007
Editor's Note: Even though some 44 percent of reported AIDS cases in India occur among 15 to 29 year olds, sex education that promotes safe sex in public schools is facing major opposition from local governments. But this conundrum could be deadly for the country with the highest number of infection rates in the world. Viji Sundaram is New America Media's Health editor.
Back in the 1940s, when my mother was going to an all-girls Catholic school in southern India, the sex education she and her classmates received was limited to the importance of abstinence, with the nuns tiptoeing around the word sex. The girls, for their part, sat giggling, their eyes lowered to the floor.
In most schools in India, educators are still tiptoeing around the subject of sex, although theres been a strong shift in the mindset of private school students, who are trying their best to force their teachers to get sex out of the closet especially because their own parents wont. After all, these kids have seen and heard it all on the Internet, in salacious music videos, Bollywood movies and even on temple carvings. They know its their country that gave the world the Kama Sutras. So whats all the fuss about?
If India continues to not take bold measures when it comes to sex education in schools, warns Chennai-based AIDS activist Dr. Manorama Pinagappany: Girls will continue to grow up with poor coping skills in times of crisis, be exploited, trafficked and will never access health care services, especially those who come from conservative homes, where mothers hesitate to talk to daughters about something even as simple as menstruation.
Last August, alarmed by the growing number of children infected with sexually transmitted diseases, including the AIDS virus, the central government launched an Adolescent Education Program in high schools. They werent fooling anyone with that euphemistic title though because one of the education tools was a flipchart with illustrations of naked bodies and detailed drawings of genitalia.
The issue has provoked an emotional debate in India between those who assert that such a program will check the spread of HIV by promoting safe sex, and those who say it will corrupt young minds. Many of those who oppose the program belong to the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the main opposition party in Congress. It was this same party that threw a fit when Indians began observing Valentines Day a few years ago. Former BJP Minister Murli Manohar Joshi called the sex education program a foreign conspiracy by international NGOs to get money under the guise of AIDS control and education. The foreign conspiracy charge was the outcome of the United Nations Childrens Funds involvement in the development of the program.
More than 10 of Indias 29 states, including some of its more progressive, have since banned sex education in public schools, with several others considering such a ban. Private schools, however, are sensibly continuing the lessons, but many have watered them down to avoid controversy.
Here in the United States, Bush has proposed a 2008 budget of $204 million, which is one-third of the AIDS prevention budget, to continue the Clinton administrations abstinence-only sex education program in Americas public schools. This despite a congressional study that recently found that abstinence-only education, which emphasizes chastity as the best practice for teens, did not really influence young peoples decisions on whether to have sex. Some 12 schools have sensibly avoided abstinence-only curricula by declining the funds that mandate it.
One wonders why Joshi and his cohorts would sabotage a program that promises a sure-fire way to curb the spread of AIDS in a country that has the largest number of HIV positive people, 70,000 of them children. One poll found that youngsters, especially those who are affluent, are willing to postpone marriage, but not sex. Another found that 50 percent of women are estimated to be sexually active by 18 years, and 52 percent have their first pregnancy between 15 and 19 years. Nearly 44 percent of reported AIDS cases in India occur among 15 to 29 year olds.
Even before the controversy over the Adolescent Education Program erupted in India, Piya Sorcar an Indian American graduate student at Stanford Universitys School of Education developed, with help from her professors, researchers, educators, technology experts and fellow students, an animation-based tutorial to teach HIV/AIDS in developing countries. The tutorial, which she says is well within Indias cultural norms, emphasizes the biology of HIV/AIDS, presenting a storyline with a dialogue between a curious student and a friendly yet authoritative cartoon doctor on the biological facts about the disease, its spread and prevention.
"HIV/AIDS is a difficult subject to talk about in India and other developing countries, acknowledged Sorcar. What we often forget is that HIV is a virus, and we study viruses all the time in biology class. She tested it out in India last September, and it received rave reviews. Said S. Sinha, an advisor in the Government of Indias Ministry of Science and Technology: Because the curriculum decouples sex education from AIDS education, it can be used all over India, and is especially useful in areas where sex education is restricted.
Today, on World AIDS Day, Indias Union Minister for Health Anbumani Ramadoss will flag off from Delhi the Red Ribbon Express, a seven-coach train that will traverse 9,000 kilometers and cover 180 districts across the country. It will halt at hundreds of stations, especially in rural areas, and conduct hundreds of thousands of programs and activities to create awareness about AIDS prevention and treatment, particularly targeting the youth.
Hopefully, the BJP will not try to put the brakes on this. For India, creating such awareness is a matter of life and death.

The Beach
Party in paradise
What we say:
Opened in November 2012, The Beach is a cut above the average Cambodian beach resort. Plenty of thought has been given to the needs of guests -- who tend to be younger couples and groups of friends -- meaning entertainment and cheap sleep options are provided. The double decker dorm with one side open to the beach offers comfortable platform beds, with good linen and mosquito nets. Those preferring some privacy can bunk down in the circular pebble and thatch huts arranged village style around a small stream. The pricier ensuite versions resemble exotic mushrooms with gaps for sea breeze ventilation. Bathrooms, shared or private, come with flushable toilets and pebble decorations. Continuing the circular theme, the round restaurant serves up buffet breakfasts, a la carte, beach barbecues and wood-fired pizzas, while the separate (round) bar is open until late. When the sun gets too strong, try the shady cushioned tree platform, pool table or breezy massage. Staff can arrange snorkel trips to Koh Kun (near M'Pai Bei village) and will happily give advice on walks around the island. The Beach also hosts full moon parties, with the affiliated Party Boat bringing fun seekers from Sihanoukville, returning at 06:00.

Understanding HTTP plug-in failover in a clustered environmentProblem (Abstract) After setting up the HTTP plug-in for load balancing in a clustered IBM ® WebSphere ® environment, the HTTP plug-in is not performing failover in a timely manner or at all when a cluster member becomes unavailable. Cause In most cases, the preceding behavior is observed because of a misunderstanding of how HTTP plug-in failover works or might be due to an improper configuration. Also, the type of Web server (multi-threaded versus single threaded) being used can affect this behavior. Resolving the problem The following document is designed to assist you in understanding how HTTP plug-in failover works, along with providing you some helpful tuning parameters and suggestions to better maximize the ability of the HTTP plug-in to failover effectively and in a timely manner . Note: The following information is written specifically for the IBM HTTP Server, however, this information in general is applicable to other Web servers which currently support the HTTP plug-in (for example: IIS, SunOne, Domino ®, and so on) . Failover Background In clustered IBM WebSphere Application Server environments, the HTTP plug-in has the ability to provide failover in the event the HTTP plug-in is no longer able to send requests to a particular cluster member. By default, there are several conditions under which the HTTP plug-in will mark a particular cluster member down and failover client requests to another cluster member that is still able to receive connections. They are listed as follows: The HTTP plug-in is unable to establish a connection to a cluster member's Application Server transport. The HTTP plug-in detects a newly connected socket that was prematurely closed by a cluster member during an active read or write. There are several configurable settings in the plugin-cfg.xml that can be tuned to affect how quickly the HTTP plug-in will mark a cluster member down and failover to another cluster member. ConnectTimeout The ConnectTimeout attribute of a Server element enables the HTTP plug-in to perform non-blocking connections with a backend cluster member. Non-blocking connections are beneficial when the HTTP plug-in is unable to contact the destination to determine if the port is available or unavailable for a particular cluster member. <server cloneid = "10k66djk2" connecttimeout = "10" extendedhandshake = "false" loadbalanceweight = "1000" maxconnections = "0" name = "Server1_WebSphere_Appserver" waitforcontinue = "false"> <transport hostname="server1.domain.com" port="9091" protocol="http"> </ transport> </ server> If no ConnectTimeout value is specified, the HTTP plug-in performs a blocking connect in which the HTTP plug-in sits until an operating system TCP timeout occurs (as long as 2 minutes depending on the platform) and allows the HTTP plug-in to mark the cluster member unavailable . A value of 0 causes the HTTP plug-in to perform a blocking connect. A value greater than 0 specifies the number of seconds you want the HTTP plug-in to wait for a successful connection. If a connection does not occur after that time interval, the HTTP plug-in marks the cluster member unavailable and fails over to one of the other cluster members defined in the cluster. Caution: In an environment with busy workload or a slow network connection, setting this value too low could make the HTTP plug-in mark a cluster member down falsely. Therefore, caution should be used whenever choosing a value for ConnectTimeout. ServerIOTimeout The ServerIOTimeout attribute of a server element enables the HTTP plug-in to set a time out value, in seconds, for sending requests to and reading responses from a cluster member. If a value is not set for the ServerIOTimeout attribute, the HTTP plug-in, by default, uses blocked I / O to write request to and read responses from the cluster member until the TCP connection times out. For example, if you specify: <server cloneid = "10k66djk2" serveriotimeout = "120" connecttimeout = "10" extendedhandshake = "false" loadbalanceweight = "1000" maxconnections = "0" name = "Server1_WebSphere_Appserver" waitforcontinue = "false "> <transport hostname="server1.domain.com" port="9091" protocol="http"> </ transport> </ server> In this case, if a cluster member stops responding to requests, the HTTP plug-in waits 120 seconds (2 minutes) before timing out the TCP connection. Setting the ServerIOTimeout attribute to a reasonable value enables the HTTP plug-in to time out the connection sooner, and transfer requests to another cluster member when possible. When selecting a value for this attribute, remember that sometimes it might take a couple of minutes for a cluster member to process a request. Setting the value of the ServerIOTimeout attribute too low could cause the HTTP plug-in to send a false server error response to the client. The ServerIOTimeout is ideal for situations where Keep-Alive connections exist between the WebSphere Application Server and HTTP plug-in, and the Application Server machine is abruptly disconnected from the network. For example, without ServerIOTimeout, the HTTP plug-in would take a long time to detect that the connection was closed abruptly on the WebSphere Application Server machine. This is illustrated as follows: When an application host machine is shut down abruptly, the Keep-Alive connections between HTTP plug-in and Application Server might not get closed completely. As a result, when the HTTP plug-in needs to route a request to the host machine, the HTTP plug-in would use an existing Keep-Alive connection if there was one in the pool. When plug-in sends the request over such a connection, since the host machine had been taken down abruptly, the HTTP plug-in machine does not receive any TCP packets to close the connection. The HTTP plug-in request writing would not return a failure until the connection timed out at the TCP level. The HTTP Plug-in would then try to contact to the same application server by establishing a new connection. The connect () call would then fail after the TCP timeout. As a result, it could take a considerable amount of time depending on the operating system TCP timeout setting for the HTTP plug-in to detect the application server status and mark it down before failing over to another application server. If there were many requests sent to the server during this time, this fact would apply to every request. Note: To avoid the preceding behavior, ServerIOTimeout attribute was introduced with APAR PQ96015 and included in WebSphere Application Server V22.214.171.124 and 126.96.36.199. Caution: When both ConnecTimeout and ServerIOTimeout are specified, it could take as long as (ConnecTimeout + ServerIOTimeout) for the HTTP plug-in to detect and mark a server down. RetryInterval An integer specifying the length of time that should elapse from the time that a server is marked down to the time that the HTTP plug-in will retry a connection. The default is 60 seconds. This setting is specified in the ServerCluster element. An example of this in the plugin-cfg.xml file is as follows: <servercluster cloneseparatorchange = "false" loadbalance = "Round Robin" name = " Server_WebSphere_Cluster "postsizelimit =" 10000000 "removespecialheaders =" true "retryinterval =" 120 "> This would mean that if a cluster member were marked as down, the HTTP plug-in would not retry it for 120 seconds. There is no way to recommend one specific value; the value chosen depends on your environment. For example, if you have numerous cluster members, and one cluster member being unavailable does not affect the performance of your application, then you can safely set the value to a very high number. Alternatively, if your optimum load has been calculated assuming all cluster members to be available or if you do not have very many, then you will want your cluster members to be retried more often to maintain the load. Also, take into consideration the time it takes to restart your server. If a server takes a long time to boot up and load applications, then you will need a longer retry interval. PrimaryServers versus BackupServers The HTTP plug-in can be configured for true failover by using PrimaryServers and BackupServers Elements in the plugin-cfg.xml configuration file. In the following example, the plug-in will load balance between both servers, Server1_WebSphere_Appserver and Server2_WebSphere_Appserver defined in PrimaryServers element only. However, in the event that bothServer1_WebSphere_Appserver and Server1_WebSphere_Appserver become unavailable and marked down, the HTTP plug-in will then failover and start sending requests to Server3_WebSphere_Appserver defined in the BackupServers Element. <servercluster cloneseparatorchange = "false" loadbalance = "Round Robin" name = "Server_WebSphere_Cluster" postsizelimit = "10000000" removespecialheaders = "true" retryinterval = " 120 "> <server cloneid="10k66djk2" serveriotimeout="120" connecttimeout="10" extendedhandshake="false" loadbalanceweight="1000" maxconnections="0" name="Server1_WebSphere_Appserver" waitforcontinue="false"> <transport hostname = "server1.domain.com" port = "9091" protocol = "http"> </ transport> </ server> <server cloneid = "10k67eta9" serveriotimeout = "120" connecttimeout = "10" extendedhandshake = "false" loadbalanceweight = "999" maxconnections = "0" name = "Server2_WebSphere_Appserver" waitforcontinue = "false"> <transport hostname="server2.domain.com" port="9091" protocol="http"> </ transport> </ server> < server cloneid = "10k68xtw10" serveriotimeout = "120" connecttimeout = "10" extendedhandshake = "false" loadbalanceweight = "998" maxconnections = "0" name = "Server3_WebSphere_Appserver" waitforcontinue = "false"> <transport hostname = "server3.domain. Com "port =" 9091 "protocol =" http "> </ transport> </ server> <primaryservers> <server name="Server1_WebSphere_Appserver"> </ server> <server name="Server2_WebSphere_Appserver"> </ server> < / primaryservers> <backupservers> <server name="Server3_WebSphere_Appserver"> </ server> </ backupservers> </ servercluster> </ servercluster>

How to Use the Emergent Literacy Story-Time Planning Sheets
Template for Talkers (2-3)
Step One: Select the planning sheet for the approximate age-group you'll be reading to. (I'll select Talkers 2-3)
Step Two: Look at the checklist and think for a moment about the interests and developmental skills that pertain to the age group you have chosen.
(For talkers, you'll see, as you look at the checklist, that vocabulary, print awareness, letter knowledge, narrative skills and comprehension are addressed.)
Select an appropriate book or books.
(For the purpose of this sample, I'll select Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day.)
Step Three: You may wish to begin by focusing on the last checklist item, the "Parent Connection." Look at the literature about emergent literacy and dialogic reading provided at the workshop. Choose a concept or statement about this age group that you will highlight for parents. Let this statement serve as your learning theme for this storytime session. You will read or say this statement to parents participating in the storytime session.
(For my learning theme statement I'll choose: "Many times when books are shared by family members, we may picture the adult reading while the child listens quietly and passively. However, research has shown that children learn best, and enjoy reading more, when they are actively involved." I will state this at the beginning of my storytime, and I will add, "Parents, if you take note, as I read this story today, I will be asking questions and doing various things to help children become more active participants in the story-telling process. You can do these kinds of things when you read at home."
Step Four: Read over the checklist questions under each of the skill areas. At this point, rather than asking yourself, "DID I…?" ask yourself "HOW WILL I…?" Highlight two or three things you will do during the session. Make sure the things you choose to do support the learning theme you have chosen. (Note: You need not do everything every time. Not only would that be difficult for you, it would probably confuse the parents and the children!)
(For the purpose of this session, I will highlight the following checklist questions)
· Did I encourage the children to respond through music or movement?
· Did I give the children the opportunity to respond orally by asking simple questions about the story and/or pictures?
· Did I talk/ask questions about the events of the story?
· Did I help the children to link the events and characters to what they already know about?
Step Five: Focus on these areas during your storytime by:
· Asking open ended questions before you begin: e.g. What is snow? How do you feel about snow? What kinds of things do you like to do on a snowy day? (Encourage them to share their thoughts and ideas!)
· Ask questions about the cover picture: "What do you think this story is about?"
· As you read the story, ask what might happen next? Ask "WH" questions, and ask about the events in the story: e.g. "What do you think Peter will want to do when he gets out of bed and sees all the snow?" Before reading the text, show the picture of Peter making footprints or snow-angels and ask: "What is Peter making in the snow ?" After reading the story ask, "What did Peter find sticking out of the snow? What did he do with it? What happened then? Etc.
· Sing a song, recite a poem, or read another story about snow.
· Ask the children to pretend they are snowflakes
· Do a Snow-related Craft such as:

This was a cool battle. It was really cool to see Pikachu flip Milotic like that. I saw someone complain about no Torkoal. It's a water gym dude. >_>
Ash winning was uber cool, and so was the battle. I think it would've been better if it was just a Double Battle - Juan's Pokemon would've made awesome combos together.
i'm leaving serebi for now. i don't know when i'll be back
this episode had a cool battle i say 8/10.
Great gym battle.
i was surprised when Grovyle lost, how come?
And the animation was bad.
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
Well at least the final gym battle in Hoenn allowed the Gym Leader to showcase 5 Pokemon instead of the normal limit of 3 :/
I liked it. Juan really challenged Ash to the point were either one could have lost. Ash won the battle of course, but I found that I respect Juan as a gym leader after they ditched Wallace.
A good 8/10
This episode was very cool. It was cool to see a Milotic for the 1st time. I'm glad Ash won the Gym Battle. He really earned it in this battle. Pikachu vs Milotic was the best battle of the matchups. It was rough seeing Grovyle get KO'd by Luvdisc in the battle. It was cool that Corphish was the Pokemon to defeat Luvdisc. It was cool to see Swellow able to hang on after being hit with Wishcash's Hyper Beam to defeat it wish Aerial Ace.

Chapters posted: 10
Please read and review. I'll be eternally grateful.
Okay, this is the right episode this time. Anyway, the battle was pretty satisfactory in my opinion. The end of the battle kind felt like a letdown due to how easily Milotic was taken down but I can over look that for the rest of the battle I suppose. At least I'm done re-watching Ash's Hoenn quest with only the Hoenn League and the rest of May's journey to get through.

With the end of the year, and the holiday season, it's that time again: With input from you, our cherished readers along with a top secret panel of experts and weirdos, we're honored to present the nominees for The 2013 Philebrity Awards. And as we've done over the last few years, on the day the polls below close, we'll also be featuring some of the city's most beloved music and comedy talents for a two-fisted awards/holiday show that is unlike any other in the city. The resulting event, The Philebrity Awards & Xmas Pageant on Thursday December 19 at Johnny Brenda's brought to you by Zipcar, celebrates the best (and a little bit of the worst) of this fair city, from those in the arts and media to those more unsung heroes in the non-profit/do-gooding world. Best of Philly this ain't: It's not about buying shit, people and things from the suburbs are gloriously, totally ignored and even the event itself is free to attend. What it is, rather, is a raucous holiday melange of music, comedy and the can-do spirit that makes Philadelphia one of the greatest cities in the world. Without further ado, we declare these polls open! May the best folks win, join us on Twitter to discuss the polls, with the hashtag #philebrityawards.

KLA Young Stockmen's Academy meets in Topeka
A group of 20 young producers from across the state met in Topeka in March for the first installment of the 2009 Kansas Livestock Association Young Stockmen's Academy. Fort Dodge Animal Health is partnering with the association to host these members for an in-depth look into KLA and the cattle business. The class will participate in four seminars throughout the year, which will be held in various locations across Kansas.
During the first session, attendees were exposed to the legislative process, media and services provided by KLA. Spokesperson training, presented by KLA staff and WIBW-Topeka farm broadcasters Kelly Lenz and Greg Akagi, highlighted the importance of taking advantage of opportunities to convey a positive message on behalf of the agriculture industry. As part of the presentation, the group was provided interview tips and techniques. Attendees visited KLA headquarters and participated in a financial planning seminar, led by Kennedy and Coe, LLC, that focused on debt management and planning for the future of the family business. In addition, the class had the opportunity to visit the Capitol and attended a Senate Agriculture Committee meeting. Attendees also took part in KLA's legislative meeting, where they and other members determined positions on individual bills under consideration by the Kansas Legislature.
The Kansas Beef Council provided information on how checkoff dollars are used to develop and market new products that have helped increase beef demand. KBC staff also explained efforts to educate consumers about the benefits of eating beef.
The 2009 class includes Paige Alexander, Satanta; Chris Boyd, Isabel; Sharon Breiner, Manhattan; Parry Briggs, Emporia; Clint Bryant, Arkansas City; Travis Bryant, Penokee; Kyle Casey, Leoti; Garet Farney, Sterling; Brandon Greenwood, Wamego; Abbie Grossnicklaus, Mound City; Spencer Jacobs, Manhattan; Trisha Janssen, Geneseo; Derik Klaassen, Newton; Tiffany Lee, Leavenworth; Mitch Mayer, Alma; Elissa Mullinix, El Dorado; Clem Neely, Chanute; Erik Peterson, Lindsborg; Caleb Strauss, Junction City; and Andrew Sylvester, Wamego.
The second installment of the YSA class will be held in July. Members will tour operations representing various segments of the Kansas beef industry. More information about YSA can be found at www.kla.org.
KLA is a trade organization representing the business interests of members at both the state and federal levels. Voluntary dues dollars paid by producers are used for programs that benefit KLA members in the areas of legislative representation, regulatory assistance, legal troubleshooting, communications and the advancement of youth.

TBH the laws are getting plainly stupid in most countries. You have large corporations that can do whatever they want for decades and only get brought into line when there is a huge public outcry but individuals will be charged for anything the cops can make stick - valid and true or not.
It is just like a school really, bullies are used to enforce conformity to the expected norms, now in society the same thing is true and to the same petty extent. The popular/rich set the rules and then these are enforced on everyone.
Its lucky in this instance that it was brought to the attention of everyone and they realised it was stupid, if that had not happened I don't think that sence would have prevailed.
Keep your heads down and hire your freedom a newspaper and a track at a time from the new power brokers.

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - A Senate report concludes that a multibillion-dollar information-sharing program created after 9/11 has improperly collected information about innocent Americans and produced little valuable intelligence on terrorism.
The program was intended to link local, state and federal anti-terror efforts. Instead, the bipartisan report says the program has resulted in huge costs for data-mining software and flat screen televisions and two fully equipped SUV's used for commuting.
The scathing review of the Department of Homeland Security says much of the money wound up being used for local crime fighting.
The cost of so-called fusion centers set up in each state is unclear. Government estimates range from less than $300 million to $1.4 billion in federal money, plus much more invested by state and local governments.
The agency disputes the findings, saying it is based on inaccurate and dated data.

Obesity is Becoming The New "American Normal"
Updated On: Nov 15 2012 07:50:00 PM CST
We're a fat nation, and experts are saying that many of our young children are already too heavy to serve in the military.
Experts say that obesity is already the most common chronic illness in America and Northern California is no different.
Childhood obesity has also increased drastically. Its rates have tripled since 1970, and are still on the rise. April Jurisich is the Healthy Students Initiative Coordinator.
"It is an extreme crisis. Over 65% of the adult population is overweight or obese. That's more than half of us," said Jurisich, "When you look around the room, most people fall into that category these days."
And it's not just Shasta County. Almost one third of Tehama and Butte County's children are overweight or obese.
Shasta County schools are taking this issue very seriously and are rethinking how food is prepared in an effort to combat the epidemic.
They have started putting lunch after recess, and are now serving more fruits and veggies. Lunches are also changing from easy "heat and eat" foods to more nutritious foods prepared in the cafeteria.

WARWICK ŌĆö The fifth time was the charm.
Ryan BerardŌĆÖs unassisted goal -- a seemingly harmless pass from behind the net that deflected off the skate of a La Salle defenseman and past the goalie -- with 2:38 to go in the game snapped a 2-2 tie and helped Mount St. Charles nab a huge 4-2 victory over the Rams at Thayer Arena.
Brian CampbellŌĆÖs goal off a pass from Brian Belisle with 1:53 left sealed the deal and allowed the Mounties (11-5) to yank a huge monkey off their backs and beat the Rams (10-5-1) for the first time in five meetings this season.
Both teams skated into this showdown tied for second place behind Bishop Hendricken in the Division IŌĆÖs power points standings with 16.2 points each.
But entering this game, the Rams had the MountiesŌĆÖ number, winning their first three Division I meetings by scores of 3-1, 3-2 (in overtime), and 6-1, and also grabbing a 3-2 win from them in the Christopher Brooks Memorial game on Jan. 17 at Providence College.
But that all changed, thanks to the two late goals and a superb penalty kill in the second period by the Mounties that gave them a surge of momentum.
With the score tied at 2-2, not only did they have to wipe out a 5-on-3 power play by La Salle early in the period that lasted 1:45 and seemed like forever, but also a five-minute major later that period.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been beaten by [La Salle] in three of the four games by the penalty box,ŌĆØ admitted MSC coach Dave Belisle. ŌĆ£And there it was, staring us in the face. ThereŌĆÖs the season right there. But we went out and killed the penalties, and that was the game.
ŌĆ£That just brought our confidence level up. We didnŌĆÖt go, ŌĆśOh, no, not again.ŌĆÖ We took the challenge and we did it. We killed the penalties and then we had a great third period, a Mount third period.ŌĆØ
The Mounties wasted no time at all ŌĆō just 79 seconds ŌĆō to jump on the board, as Tyler Scroggins took a pass from Brandon Borges and flipped a shot from the side of the net over the stick of La Salle netminder Tyler Walsh.
But the Rams quickly responded. They tied the contest 38 seconds later on a goal by Matt Botieri that was set up by Joe Manown, and then took the lead at 5:33 when Jason Delisle stuffed a pass by Bryan Lemos past MSC goalie Brian Larence.
With 3:04 to play in the period, Mount knotted the score on BelisleŌĆÖs team-high 15th goal of the season. He scored on a 2-on-1 breakaway by tipping in a pass from Berard over WalshŌĆÖs shoulder.
The score stayed deadlocked after two periods of play. During this time, the Mounties rang the post twice with shots, and Campbell had the best chance at a goal with 40 seconds left in the second when he swiped the puck from a defenseman and broke in alone on Walsh, only to clang metal.
Early in the third period, the Mounties hit their third post of the game when Nick BennettŌĆÖs slap shot at the end of a 39-second, 5-on-3 power play got a piece of it.
But instead of dwelling on what could have been, the visitors kept plugging away at their rivals and finally delivered late in the game.
ŌĆ£[La Salle] is very good in transition, but we didnŌĆÖt give them the 2-on-1s like we did in the first period,ŌĆØ said the Mount coach. ŌĆ£We forechecked well, we kept the puck in deep, and we put the puck on net and we caught a break [on BerardŌĆÖs goal]. It was nice to catch one.ŌĆØ
The four-time defending champs conclude their regular season next weekend with an 8 p.m. game at Adelard Arena against first-place Bishop Hendricken and a contest the following night at Levy Arena against Moses Brown.

Dams come in many sizes and shapes, everything from huge power generating hydroelectric dams to small low-head dams (called drowning machines) typically built to back up water for irrigation purposes. Near a dam, swirling water, submerged objects, and strong currents can pose dangers for boaters and swimmers.
Sudden discharges of water from spillways and turbines can rapidly increase river flows. Never fish or swim above or below a dam. To protect yourself when recreating on or along a river near a hydroelectric facility, follow these safety tips:
Low-head dams are generally small structures usually no more than 10 feet high. They have no gates or water control devices; water flows constantly over them. Because of their small size, they do not appear to be dangerous, especially when viewed from a boat or canoe upstream.
In the spring and during other periods of high runoff, however, the dams become very dangerous. Torrents of water pouring over the dam create a churning backwash or current. This "hydraulic," as it is often called, is really a recirculating current. The roiling water takes any object-including a person-to the bottom of the stream, releases it to the surface, sucks it back to the face of the dam, and pushes it back to the bottom. This cycle can continue indefinitely.
Branches and other debris trapped in the hydraulic pose an additional hazard to the victim. The victim has a hard time staying afloat, even if wearing a life jacket (PFD). Air bubbles mixing in the water decrease its buoyancy by one-third. These conditions create a nearly perfect drowning machine.
Watch the low-head dam simulation that shows how low-head dams are deadly traps of moving water. [Watch simulation ]
The Dam Safety Program regulates the construction, operation and maintenance of Montana's dams to protect life and property from damages due to failure. The dam safety program also provides training and outreach to dam owners and engineers, and assists with emergency preparedness activities.

Games To Try Before You Die: Gears of War (Xbox 360)
It's hard to believe that this game is 8 years old! I never planned on purchasing an Xbox 360, but fate had a different path for me. Just got out of a messy break up and I needed a pick me up. Long story short, I won an Xbox 360! What a glorious day that was!
A new console and a new lease on life, what games should I get? Of course there was Halo and such, but there was this game that looked extremely Next Gen, and that was Gears of War.

Trying to decipher the medical jargon on drug labels can be daunting for the average consumer. Even doctors have trouble. But the stakes are high: Research suggests that medication errors may be responsible for as many as 100,000 deaths each year in the United States.
The Food and Drug Administration hopes to stem this mounting toll by making drug labels (the package inserts that come with medications) more user-friendly. Doctors can then get the crucial information they need at a glance, rather than having to wade through reams of complex medical data.

Nebraska begins the week of its Big Ten opener not knowing who its quarterback will be against Illinois.
Taylor Martinez hasn't practiced for two weeks because of a nagging turf toe on his left foot. Coach Bo Pelini said Monday that if Martinez doesn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday, Tommy Armstrong Jr. probably will be the starter for the second straight game.
Pelini said he wants Martinez to be 100 percent when he returns to practice, and the coach said the senior is getting closer.
Martinez started 32 straight games before missing the Sept. 21 game against South Dakota State. He ran tentatively against UCLA the week before and hasn't practiced since.
Armstrong and Ron Kellogg III each played five series against South Dakota State.

Balbir Krishan was attacked on January 5th in New Delhi, India at a gallery at the Lalit Kala academy, where he was exhibiting his work. The masked attacker kicked the double-amputee artist, destroyed one of his paintings, and shouted anti-gay slurs before escaping. Kick a gimp, ruin some art and run…sounds like a real stand-up guy. The show, called Out Here and Now, focused on homosexuality as a theme, and Krishan had been getting angry phone calls in the days leading up to the incident. More on this story from The Advocate's Neal Broverman here. From the Hindustani Times article by Aakriti Sawhney, here.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:

Wichita's newest sculpture is a go. Approved by the city council, the WaterWalk sculpture was passed by a 4-3 vote.
At 39-feet tall, the abstract cor-ten steel and bronze structure will soon adorn the main pedestrian plaza at Waterman and Main, providing a grand entrance to Wichita's WaterWalk.
"Wichita has made great strides toward a downtown development, and endorsing a major sculpture piece as the corner stone of the Water Walkway Plaza, will surge us ahead significantly, toward a more beautiful, a more livable and more walkable downtown," said Judy Goodpasture, Wichita Arts Council.
Before council members gave their okay Tuesday, council member Michael O'Donnell disagreed with the project, saying now is not the time to be spending money.
"I believe taking action on this right now is inappropriate and somewhat unforgivable, because it seems like an audacious amount of money," said O'Donnell.
Council member Janet Miller pointed out, the $350,000 sculpture should already be a go.
It is part of a tiff project, using funds that have already been reserved for the WaterWalk, an area that will help revitalize downtown Wichita.
"It has to do with this particular project, and what it means for revitalization, increased tax revenues, new jobs, retaining talent, all those kinds of things that we've been focused on for the past 2 years," said Miller.
Artist Albert Paley will build the sculpture in New York, and ship it to Wichita in sections.
Paley says it will be erected, and in place by November.

Brad Womack and Emily Maynard: Broken Up For Real!by Free Britney at . Comments
Despite ongoing questions regarding the status of Emily Maynard and Brad Womack's relationship (or lack there of), the answer is now clear ... and bleak.
While previous reports of Emily and Brad's breakup may've been premature, it doesn't look like this one is. She reportedly gave back her engagement ring.
Maynard was seen running errands in Charlotte, N.C., sans the rock Brad presented to her on The Bachelor finale. An insider says ABC got the ring back.
Sources claim that the couple's strained, long-distance relationship was just too hard to continue, with a source says "It's completely over now."
Maynard is reported to have initiated the breakup, which happened about two weeks ago after Brad's failed attempt to save their relationship.
Then there was the whole drunk-dialing incident.
"Emily is happy in Charlotte [North Carolina] and is not moving to Austin with [her 5-year-old daughter] Ricki," a source said. "She is content."
The breakup comes as no surprise to those keeping tabs on the reality couple. Trouble has been brewing basically ever since they got engaged.
The torch is passed to you, Ashley Hebert. Hope your starring turn, which began on Monday's Bachelorette premiere, works out better than Brad's.
Did Emily not know this guy was a player? He rejected both his picks before, and now he is broken up with the girl he finally picked. He was just in it for the money and "fame". Emily should count her blessings she is away from this jerk.
For starters ABC only lets us see part of the "real" story. Secondly, if Brad really does have that bad of a temper I wouldn't think any of you gals would want him in your lives or anyone that you knew. Thirdly, how well can you really get to know someone in 12 weeks? Granted, if it were just the two of you, all the time, it would be a different story. So, let's think about this rationally, and not be so quick to judge Emily for the realtionship going south. It does take two to tango.
Who knows what the outcome would have been with Chantel. Just a quick thought...out of roughly 25 seasons of the Bachelor and Bachelorette only 3 realationships have survived and 1 has ended in marriage. I wish good luck to both Brad and Emily in their quest to find true love.
It is really a shame. Towards the end, Brad was really questioning Emily as far as wether she was really ready. She made all that stink about her daughter and bringing someone into their lives and blah, blah, blah!!! Then she goes and initiates the break up. Doesn't suprise me, he should've chose Chantel anyway....
Brad feel in love with Emily's good looks but I wish he would have peeped into her soul before he proposed to Emily. Emily was stuck on who could get the ring but is so far from getting married. Brad deserves the right woman, which he had that with Ashley or the other one with the dark hair, but missed it with Emily.
No one has mentioned the fact that Emily is just way too young. Brad is much older and more mature and she is in essence still a young girl. She's just too young for him, period.
wow that really sucks for brad he seems to have no good luck in finding the right woman I wish the best for him to find the right woman.
Hmm...this comes as no surprise. Emily is a spoiled, kept little rich girl...She is immature, selfish and self centered. Her attitude is "it's all about me"....and she is most likely raising a spoiled little brat, just like her. I like Brad and I hope he finds a good and true woman....not a phoney, bleached blonde, twangy, nasaled potty mouth....This relationship failed because of Emily, NOT Brad.....She doesn;t want to leave the gravy train she is on....
Yup, 99% of the time, men will choose the prettiest girl on the block instead of who would be best for them. It's been the saga since the beginning of time. Chelsea would have been a better match for Brad, and Emily probably shouldn't have been on the show in the first place. Why was she? I suspect her motives were NOT to find Mr. Right. Heck, there are plenty of eligible men in North Carolina! So, I ask the viewers again, "WHY was Emily on the show in the first place?" If she was as devoted to Rickki as she claimed, she wouldn't have subjected her daughter to any of the backlash of a "Reality" Date Show. If you weren't going to move to another location, Emily, then why play the game in the first place. I wish them both relationship success. But, for this round, I think Brad got gypped bigtime!
I agree with Emily, watching Brads behaviour on the show would make me pull the knife outta my back and run for the hills. I would never date a guy who owned a bar, let alone five.
I agree, she never intended on moving or marrying Brad. She's the loser. Good luck to Brad..move on.

Addictions INFO CENTER
Prescribing anti-anxiety and sleep medications may backfire with some teens. The authors of a recent study found that teens who had received prescriptions for these medications were much more likely to abuse them.
Some smokers worry about gaining weight after they quit. But new research found that the potential weight gain was well worth the long-term health benefits of quitting.
When taken incorrectly, prescription medications may be just as deadly as illegal drugs. Recent research found that most overdoses involved prescription opioids.
Dopamine receptor agonists are medicines used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Patients who take them, however, may find themselves having trouble with impulse control.
Drinking too much alcohol is known to cause health problems like liver disease and high blood pressure in adults. But a new study found that the effect of drinking on high blood pressure in young people may depend on their gender.
Many past studies have shown that smoking cigarettes is unhealthy and can cause illnesses like COPD and cancer. Now, a new study has highlighted the extent of these illnesses caused by tobacco.
Alcohol and prescription medications can both be safe in moderation or as prescribed by a doctor. But their abuse and misuse can be dangerous or even deadly, says a new study.
Smoking has been tied to health issues of all types. Now, smokers might have another reason to kick the habit — oral human papillomavirus (HPV).
Some medications that were created to help people heal can do major harm when abused. A new report found that death rates from some painkillers and other drugs may be on the rise.
In recent years, opioids have become a safety concern for some health officials. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) recently released a statement on opioid use to address this problem.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) -- Attorneys for James Holmes, the man accused of the Aurora theater shootings, claim that the release of a mug shot of Holmes to the news media violates a judge's gag order in the case.
In documents released Wednesday, defense attorneys said the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department released the photo on Sept. 20. It shows Holmes with a haircut, in stark contrast to the wild orange-red hair Holmes had when he was arrested after the July 20 shootings.
Holmes' attorneys say the mug shot affects his prospects for a fair trial and want to know how it was released. Judge William B. Sylvester set a hearing on the complaint for Oct. 11.
Holmes faces multiple counts of first-degree murder in the shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 58.
