Thanks for the response. That seems to cover it fundamentally. But on the field it seems to be handled subjectively. Agree?

Point taken- thanks.
Heard he was recruited for BB by Duke and UNC. ' nuff said if that is true. Freak athlete regardless and under rated at OSU IMHO.
Taking no offense to what you have said, I'm not sure exactly how to have framed this as a topic. I'm open to your suggestion. Seriously, no offense taken.
My point, and I guess it probably could have been better stated, is a go to guy, 8-10 catches a game that you have to scheme against. Again, not that they aren't talking about D.Smith in meetings.
It's not the size of the dawg in the fight... Vonn is a baller!
Isn't Cincinnati the state Capital of Kentucky?
Cloverleaf's own Kyle Juszczyk!
Thanks to all who responded!
Great responses. Thank you very much!
I feel that the DB's are much improved. I never played football, but it looked as if Bell took a bad angle on several plays. Am i correct? Can that be corrected by coaches?
Thanks for checking!
Connor Cook and MSU will be every bit as good as Kiel, maybe not as a talent, but as a scheme. MSU has a running game that will set up the pass. We need to get better each week. We will get tested this week again. Maryland has no. QB like Kiel, it should be interesting!
Wait, I thought we were Ohio?
Benadryl and ice! Had a hornet get stuck between my forehead and helmet on a recent motorcycle ride. Almost set my bike down.

The headline Craft is Determined is redundant.
Need Baugh to step up and contribute for a while. There's got to be a LB or WR in-house that could be converted to TE if needed.

"The parsnips add a creamy sweetness that complements the flavor of the split peas. If parsnips are unavailable, use carrots instead. Because the peas have a tendency to settle on the bottom of the pot, a quick stir midway through the cooking process is helpful. The Liquid Smoke adds a "bacony" flavor to the soup and is available in most supermarkets. While this is intended to be vegetarian, from Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, I also made this with a ham bone instead of the liquid smoke and was delicious."
Serving Size: 1 (98 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"Very good soup -- this makes a lot. I really liked the parsnips in the soup along with the liquid smoke. Thanks for sharing!"
"This is pretty good. The liquid smoke is definitely a nice touch. The only thing I did differently was to add white wine to the parsnips as I was sauteing them, and I doubled the recipe to feed a crowd. Thank you for posting this!"
"Lovely snowy weather soup. I made it yesterday and let it cook for 8 hours on low, I had a canned ham that I cubed after the 8 hour cooking time and added to it, then put it in the fridge overnight. Put it into 2 serving size containers to freeze. the recipe made 9 generous lunch size serving. I didn't pre cook the parsnips or onions just put everything into the crock pot and turned it to low. So easy and so good. - We love it!"
"Quick, easy and tasty! The natural smokiness of the split peas pairs well with the sweetness of the parsnips. The parsnips really give it a great flavor. I didn't add any extra stock, but probably would next time, as it was very thick (I am sure this also depends on how long you cook it in the crock pot too - I did 7 hours on low). For leftovers, I topped this with Recipe #239502 - which went wonderfully with it. We especially liked that this soup tastes rich, but is low in fat."
"Delish! It was much thicker than I expected- more like a stew- and I had even added two extra cups of stock. The flavor is great- the sweetness of the parsnips with the slight smokiness was quite tasty. Thanks for posting!"

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Police say a gunman hijacked a city bus in Austin and led officers on a 30-mile chase before pulling over and killing himself.
Austin police Lt. James Nisula tells Associated Press Radio the man boarded the bus Saturday and ordered the bus driver to get off.
The Austin American-Statesman reports he also forced two passengers to leave the vehicle before getting behind the steering wheel and driving away.
Police spotted the bus and pursued it. They tried several times to get the driver to pull over, but he refused.
Nisula says officers put down road spikes and deflated the bus tires. He says the man eventually pulled into an auto parts store parking lot, where he fatally shot himself.
Police didn't immediately release the man's name.

Don't expect to see Bryce Brown in uniform when Kansas State hosts Baylor Saturday.
The website gopowercat.com reports Brown has left the Kansas State football team at least temporarily.
Brown is in his first season at KSU after transferring from Tennessee. He played at Wichita East where he was an All America and one of the most highly recruited players in the nation.
At a media briefing Tuesday, Wildcat Coach Bill Snyder said Brown is struggling. "Bryce is going through some difficult times right now," Snyder said. "We'll try to help him all we can."
Brown has rushed three times for sixteen yards this season.

Arbitrator Rules In Favor Of Holik & Ortmeyer
by Paul on 05/28/08 at 11:51 AM ET
Comments (0)
from TSN,
Sources tell TSN that the New York Rangers will have to pay former Ranger and current Atlanta Thrashers forward Bobby Holik $3.5 million over a contract dispute in 2004-2005.
Because of the lockout that wiped out the 2004-2005 season, the Rangers argued that Holik needed to play to earn his signing bonus.
An arbitrator disagreed and made the ruling in favor of Holik and Jed Ortmeyer, who the Rangers will also have to pay an undisclosed amount.

Answers Needed Quickly On Outdoor Game

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
The prospect of holding the NHL Winter Classic at Yankee Stadium on Jan. 1, 2009 is in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the Yankees New York Yankees attempting to convince the city that a pair of major concerns can be overcome so the Rangers New York Rangers can play an outdoor game in The Bronx before the World's Most Famous Stadium closes its doors.
"We're negotiating with the city on two issues that need to be resolved within the next few days in order for us to be able to go forward with the NHL," Yankees' COO Lonn Trost told The Post last night. "We want to have the game here and the NHL wants to have the game here, so now it's a matter of us settling these concerns."

Jagr Talking Contract

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Slap Shots has learned that Jagr's agent and Sather are expected to commence negotiations this week after preliminary discussions in which both sides exchanged words of love, if not vows of 'til death do they part, at least not yet.
"Jags would like to stay, he doesn't want to leave New York, and Slats has told me that he feels the same way," Pat Brisson, who with J.P. Barry represents Jagr, said by phone on Friday night. "We're going to begin to talk about a contract in the next week or so.
"Jags feels good about himself as a player and about what he and the Rangers can accomplish together."

Sather Needs To Sign Avery
by Paul on 05/11/08 at 08:16 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Playing in New York has tangible value for Avery, both as a personality and as a player. The parts of the city and the city culture that he cares about have embraced him. The coach for whom he plays has accepted him. Never will Avery play for a coach so loyal to his players as Renney….
The relationship has been mutually beneficial, but the Rangers need Avery every bit as much as Avery needs the Rangers. It's crazy to think otherwise.
It's imperative for Sather to recognize that and stop acting as if he's Darcy Tucker at center-ice during warmups looking for a fight, looking for a fight he's not going to win and that the Rangers are going to lose.

Shanny In NY - It Depends On Jagr
by Paul on 05/06/08 at 01:05 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Stan Fischler at Game On,
I don't like to beat around the bush on Seventh Avenue and 33rd Street, so I'll get right to the point.
On the assumption that Jaromir Jagr will NOT be a Ranger next season, Shanahan must be invited back for another term.
However, if management learns in a reasonable amount of time that Jagr wants to be back on Broadway for 2008-09, then Shanny must be given a fair "adieu." No more, no less.
As far as The Maven is concerned, there's no room on an invigorated—and, yes, it WILL be invigorated by younger aces—roster for two elder statesmen. One is enough.

Avery said he was in "such bad shape the first couple of days," that he had no idea that one publication reported that he'd suffered cardiac arrest and was found unconscious in a Manhattan hotel room before being rushed to the hospital at 3:30 the morning following the game.
"Nobody said anything, but then it kind of funneled through," said Avery. "To make up lies, it just shows the credibility of the people who would put that stuff out there and then try to stand by it even when it's proven false.
"That anyone would print something that's just false . . . I don't know why people have the need to lie about me."

Rangers May Target Hossa

from Lynn Zinser of the New York Times,
Hossa will be a question mark whenever Pittsburgh's season ends. The Penguins have other unrestricted free agents to consider re-signing, including defenseman Brooks Orpik and forward Ryan Malone. They also have to ensure they have future cap room to keep their young players. Malkin will be due for a new contract — presumably a long and large one — after next season.
If the Penguins do not have enough money to offer Hossa, who is making $7 million this season, the Rangers may be in the bidding for him. He is a strong two-way player and seems to be the kind of finisher the Rangers could use on a line with center Scott Gomez.
If the Rangers keep him from returning to Pittsburgh, they would take a chunk out of the lineup of a division rival, one that looks as if it will be formidable for years to come.

Now What Rangers

from Stan Fischler at Game On,
The coach readily admits that changes must be made. "We need physical engagement," he avers, perhaps realizing that the likes of Gary Roberts and the other Pitt toughies neutralized the Rangers less physical players.
When all is said and done, the Rangers were eliminated because they played like a fifth place team and Pittsburgh—which surely could win the Stanley Cup—performed like a club that finished on top.
Now that the off-season has hit New York hockey, Sather and his high command will be blueprinting how his Blueshirts can get to the peak in the Spring of 2009. THAT is where the Rangers go from here!

from the Blue Seats at the NY Post,
Blame the refs. Blame the Penguins. Blame Tom Renney. Blame anyone. There's plenty of it to go around. But, to be realistic, a team needs to get past bad officiating and the opposing team's attempts to disrupt the game plan. The ability to persevere is what makes a champion and this year's Rangers New York Rangers did not have it.
When I saw Jarkko Ruutu jawing at Jaromir Jagr Jaromir Jagr before the faceoff, in Jagr's face, mouthing off, and then pushing the Ranger captain to the ice after Jagr blew him a kiss ... I knew no one would step up to hand the Penguin pest a dental bill.

fro Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
Before the series, I picked the Rangers to win in seven games because I thought they had a huge advantage in net with Henrik Lundqvist, but that advantage didn't come into play until that last two games. Marc-Andre Fleury looked shaky today for the first time in the series. The Rangers didn't take enough shots, however, to exploit that. They went more 16 minutes without a shot, including the last 14:50 of a second period that the Penguins' thoroughly dominated.
I have a feeling that Fleury and Martin Biron might not have much goaltending magic left for the conference finals. Don't be surprised if you see some 6-5 games in that series.

This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/650,400, filed Aug. 28, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,916,694.
The present invention relates to semiconductor device manufacturing, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device having a Si channel region that is strained and adjoining source/drain junctions that are unstrained. The method of the present invention provides MOSFET devices having a very high channel carrier mobility, while maintaining a very low leakage junction.
Improvements in transport properties, i.e., carrier mobility, through strain have been demonstrated in the operating characteristics of field effect transistors (FETs). For complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, an improvement in device characteristics through enhanced carrier mobility has significant potential for the fabrication of very high-speed devices. Strained silicon on a relaxed SiGe substrate is one system where such an improvement occurs, see, for example, D. K. Nayak, et al., �High Mobility p-Channel Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect-Transistor on Strained Si,� Appl. Phys. Lett., 62 (22), p. 2853�2855 (1993).
Experimental research on enhanced carrier mobility MOSFETs caused by strain has concentrated on a strained Si layer grown on a relaxed SiGe substrate. MOSFET's fabricated using the Si/SiGe system exhibit the following disadvantages: (1) High source and drain junction leakage�the FET source and drain junctions, as well as the channel region, are formed in a strained Si area resulting in high junction leakage. (2) The Si/SiGe system MOSFET process is not compatible with mainstream CMOS fabrication techniques requiring specially prepared substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. (3) The Si/SiGe system MOSFET process is costly with low production rate.
In view of the drawbacks mentioned above, there is a need for providing a method of forming a MOSFET device in which the device channel is locally strained while the adjoining source/drain junctions are unstrained.
The present invention provides a novel method using a damascene-gate process to improve the transport properties of FETs through strained Si. In the inventive method, changes in mobility and FET characteristics are deliberately made in a bulk Si or silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure through the introduction of local strain in the channel region, without introducing strain in the device source and drain junctions. The present method has the advantage of not straining the source and drain junctions resulting in very low leakage junctions and also it does not require any special substrate preparation like the case of the strained Si/relaxed SiGe system. Moreover, the method of the present invention is compatible with existing mainstream CMOS processing.
Moreover, the method of the present invention is capable of forming a localized strained Si channel while not requiring that the gate implantation be very shallow. Thus, the inventive method does not have to avoid long anneal cycles. Additionally, in the present method the source/drain implants are not carried out during the gate implantation therefore shallow source/drain junctions having a depth of about 20 nm or less are possible.
The above-mentioned objects and advantages are achieved in the present invention by forming the gate in a damascene-gate process in a gate opening by depositing amorphous silicon, i.e., a:Si, at a temperature of less than about 600� C., preferably at a temperature between 500� and 600� C. During a subsequent anneal, the a:Si is converted into a polySi gate while introducing the desired localized strain in an underlying Si region without impacting the adjoining source and drain area. Source/drain junction formation occurs after formation of the strained Si channel therefore the junctions can be very shallow.
Specifically, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
providing a structure comprising a dummy gate that has an upper surface that is coplanar with an upper surface of an oxide layer, said dummy gate is located on a sacrificial oxide that is positioned atop a Si-containing substrate;
removing the dummy gate to provide a gate opening that exposes a portion of the sacrificial oxide, said gate opening defining a device channel in said Si-containing substrate;
removing the exposed portion of the sacrificial oxide in the gate opening;
forming a gate dielectric and amorphous Si gate in said gate opening;
implanting dopants in said amorphous Si gate and annealing the dopants in said amorphous Si gate to convert said amorphous Si gate into a polySi gate, while introducing localized strain into said device channel; and
removing the oxide layer and forming source/drain junctions in portions of the Si-containing substrate that adjoin the localized strained device channel.
The method above is a damascene method since the gate is formed in a gate opening. The inventive method is compatible with existing mainstream CMOS processes resulting in low cost and high production rate. The method of the present invention allows for n- or p-type devices to be formed atop the localized strain channel. This is unlike the process disclosed in K. Ota, et al., �Novel Locally Strained Channel Technique for High Performance 55 nm CMOS�, Dec. 2002, IEDM conference where PMOS devices cannot be strained due to the lack of �heavy� implant acceptor ions to cause amorphization of the p-type gates.
The damascene method described above provides a CMOS device that comprises
a Si-containing substrate having a localized strained device channel and adjoining source/drain junctions;
a gate dielectric located on said localized strained device channel; and
a polySi gate located on said gate dielectric.
The source/drain junctions may be very shallow since they are formed after polySi gate formation and annealing.
The present invention, which provides a method of fabricating local strained channel MOSFETs, will now be described in greater detail by referring to the drawings that accompany the present application. In the accompanying drawings, like and/or corresponding elements are referred to by like reference numerals.
Reference is first made to
The term �Si-containing semiconductor substrate� denotes any semiconductor material that includes at least silicon. Illustrative examples of Si-containing semiconductor materials that can be used as substrate 12 include, but are not limited to: Si, SiGe, SiC, SiGeC, silicon-on-insulators (SOIs), or SiGe-on-insulators (SGOI). The substrate 12 may be undoped or doped depending upon the device to be fabricated thereon. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, Si-containing semiconductor substrate 12 is a p-type Si substrate.
When SOI or SGOI substrates are employed, region 12 denotes the top Si-containing layer of the substrate that is isolated from a bottom Si-containing substrate (not shown) by a buried oxide layer (not shown).
After providing the substrate 12, the pad oxide layer 14 is formed on an upper exposed surface of the substrate 12 by using a conventional thermal oxidation process. Alternatively, the pad oxide layer 14 may be formed by a deposition process, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma-assisted CVD, evaporation, or chemical solution deposition. Pad oxide layer 14 formed at this point of the inventive process is a thin oxide layer that typically has a thickness of from about 6 to about 15 nm.
Next, trench isolation regions 16 are formed into the substrate 12 by first forming a hardmask (not shown) on the surface of the pad oxide layer 14 and then utilizing lithography and etching. The lithographic step employed in the present invention includes applying a photoresist (not shown) to the hardmask that overlies the pad oxide layer 14; exposing the photoresist to a pattern of radiation (in the present case a trench pattern is formed); and developing the pattern into the photoresist by utilizing a conventional resist developer. The etching step, which is used to transfer the trench pattern first into the hardmask and then into the pad oxide layer 14 and the substrate 12, includes any conventional dry etching process such as reactive-ion etching, ion beam etching, plasma etching, laser ablation or any combination thereof A single etching process may be employed, or alternatively, more than one etching process may be employed to form trenches in the substrate 12. After the pattern has been transferred into the hardmask, the photoresist is typically removed from the structure and then pattern transfer continues using the hardmask as an etch mask.
After trenches have been formed in the substrate 12, the trenches are filled with a trench dielectric material such as high-density plasma (HDP) oxide or TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate) using conventional deposition processes well known to those skilled in the art. The filled trenches form the trench isolation regions 16 shown in
Next, and as illustrated in
A dummy gate 20 comprising a sacrificial polysilicon region or other related material is then formed on a portion of the sacrificial oxide layer 18 providing the structure shown, for example, in
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to forming just a single dummy gate 20 on the surface of the sacrificial oxide layer 18. Instead, the present invention works equally well when a plurality of dummy gates 20 are formed. The formation of a plurality of dummy gates 20 will allow for the formation of a plurality of MOSFETs across the surface of the substrate 12.
After forming the structure shown in
Next, the dummy gate 20, i.e., sacrificial polysilicon region or other related material, is removed from the structure using chemical downstream etching or KOH stopping atop the sacrificial oxide layer 18. The resultant structure, which includes a gate opening 25 that is formed after this step has been performed, is shown, for example, in
At this point of the inventive method, device channel (i.e., body region) 26 is subjected to an ion implantation step and an annealing step. The conditions used in the ion implantation step and the annealing step are well known to those skilled in the art. The annealing step serves to activate the dopants within the device channel 26. For example, the device channel 26 may be ion implanted with a p-type dopant using any ion dosage such 1E12 to about 5E13 atoms/cm3 and annealed at any conditions such as, for example, 1000� C., for 5 seconds in Ar. An n-type dopant is also contemplated herein. The structure showing ion implantation into the device channel 26 is shown, for example, in
The exposed sacrificial oxide 18 in the gate opening 25 is then removed from the structure to expose the device channel 26. Specifically, the exposed sacrificial oxide 18 in the gate opening is removed by utilizing a chemical oxide removal (COR) process. The COR process employed in the present invention is carried out at relatively low pressures (6 millitorr or less) in a vapor, or more preferably, a plasma of HF and NH3. The HF and NH3 mixture is used as an etchant that selectively removes oxide from the structure. The resultant structure that is formed after the COR step has been performed is shown, for example, in
Next, gate dielectric 30 is formed atop the exposed device channel 26 utilizing a conventional deposition process. Alternatively, the gate dielectric 30 may be formed by a thermal oxidation, nitridation or oxynitridation process. Combinations of the aforementioned processes may also be used in forming the gate dielectric 30. The gate dielectric 30 may be composed of any conventional dielectric including, but not limited to: SiO2; Si3N4; SiON; SiON2; high-k dielectrics such as TiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, HfO2, Ta2O5, La2O3; and other like oxides including perovskite-type oxides. Typically, the high-k dielectrics are capable of withstanding high-temperature (900� C.) anneals. Gate dielectric 30 may also comprise any combination of the aforementioned dielectric materials.
Gate dielectric 30 is typically thinner than the sacrificial oxide layer 18. Generally, when the gate dielectric 30 is composed of SiO2, Si3N4, SiON or SiON2, it has a thickness of about 1 to about 5 nm. For the other gate dielectrics, the thickness would provide a equivalent oxide thickness in the range mentioned above.
After the gate dielectric 30 has been formed, amorphous Si is deposited using a deposition process such as low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) that is performed at a temperature of less than about 600� C., preferably between 500� C.�600� C., and then the deposited amorphous Si is planarized providing an amorphous Si region in the gate opening 25. Following the formation of amorphous Si region, a gate implantation and anneal step is performed. The dopant used during the implantation may be either a p-type dopant or an n-type dopant depending on the type of device to be fabricated.
The annealing conditions used at this point of the present invention cause recrystallization of the amorphous Si region into a polySi gate 32, while causing activation and diffusion of the dopant to the interface between the polySi gate and the gate dielectric 30. Moreover, the annealing step performed at this point of the present invention creates tensile strain in the device channel 26. That is, a localized strained channel 34 is formed during the annealing step. This process allows one to build either n- or p-devices having a localized strained channel, which are both under a tensile strain. The activation and diffusion of dopant in amorphous Si requires much longer diffusion time than polySi due to the absence of grain boundaries in crystallized amorphous Si which speeds up dopant diffusion. The annealing step is performed at a temperature of about 1000� C. or greater for a time period of greater than 5 seconds, preferably about 30 min. The annealing is carried out preferably in nitrogen or any other inert gas.
The structure including gate dielectric 30, polygate 32 and localized strained channel 34 is shown, for example, in
Reference is now made to the structure shown in
At this point of the present invention, raised source/drain regions (not shown) may be optionally formed atop the surface of the source/drain regions by epitaxially growing an epi Si layer thereon. To either the raised source/drain regions or to the previously formed source/drain regions 36, salicide regions 38 may be formed using a conventional salicidation process that includes, for example, forming a refractory metal such as Ti, Co or Ni on Si surfaces; heating the structure to form silicide regions and thereafter removing any non-reactive metal that was not converted into a silicide during the heating process. The resultant structure including salicide regions 38 (self-aligned silicide) is shown, for example, in
Further BEOL (back-end-of-the-line) processes may be formed on the structure shown in
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in forms and details may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is therefore intended that the present invention not be limited to the exact forms and details described and illustrated, but fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

8. Holes
Based on a novel by Louis Sachar, Holes is the story of a wrongly convicted teenage boy sent to a camp in the desert where children are forced to endlessly dig the titular "holes," day in and day out. This is one movie guaranteed to make you feel hot and tired just watching it... Unlike most Disney adaptations, Holes manages to keep the grittiness and "magical realism" (read: strangeness) of the original book intact, and it also features a hilariously repulsive performance from Jon Voight as the cowboy counselor, Mr. Sir. About the only bad thing you can say about Holes is that it introduced the world to the acting of Shia LaBeouf, who was fine in this movie but should now just go and get trodden on by a big CGI robot already.

I have learned how much you all love fondarific and Duff's new stuff and will try both. Thanks for helping with all your feedback . I really love to hear your thoughts as it's really helpful. So now, I usually do cakes in buttercream and am just starting with fondant. I was wondering does freezing fondant affect it? I love sending my cakes out frozen since they travel well this way and I've never had complaints about anything going wrong with them. Thanks, Maura

In Mixed Catch, NF Senior Editor Linc Bedrosian spotlights a wide range of commercial fishing-related news items from coast to coast.
Tuesday, 20 May 2008
It's bad enough that the vast majority of seafood consumed in this country is imported. But what's worse is that it seems harder to know whether the fish you buy at the supermarket or order at the restaurant is actually the species listed.
Just last week, the Miami Herald published an opinion piece by Bob Jones, executive director of the Southeastern Fisheries Association, regarding the problem. "Seafood industry experts believe at least 20 million consumers are ripped off each year through the illegal practice of seafood product substitution known as bait and switch," Jones wrote.
Jones mentioned how a couple of investigative reporters from the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times randomly purchase grouper sandwiches and red snapper dinners from 11 Tampa Bay-area restaurants, sent samples off to a New York laboratory for testing, only to find out that six of the 11 purchases turned out to be imported pond-raised catfish or tilapia or other species.
Here we have an industry that's been trying for years to make seafood more of a staple of American consumers. It's a great product, full of nutritional benefits and tasty to boot. We've seen creative marketing programs that are working to get seafood on the dinner table more often. It's a shame that these seafood switcheroos can undermine consumer confidence in such a worthy product.

Skin-firming treatments in Dubai
We roadtest three surgery-free methods Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
Get Skinny treatment at Talise Spa
The claim: The whole process is designed to stimulate circulation, encourage the removal of toxins that cause cellulite and leave your skin feeling 'toned and lustrous'.
The experience: The treatment begins with dry body brushing, and though the bristles are coarse (this is the circulation-stimulating part) it's not as harsh as you might expect. Next, a seaweed body mask is applied all over, before being left to work its magic while I enjoy a head massage. After a rinse under the shower, a contouring gel is massaged all over to firm and moisturise.
The results: Immediately after the treatment, my thighs feel firmer, and a quick look in the mirror the morning after helps dispel any scepticism. I'm still feeling the results up to a week later, and am convinced it's the best treatment I've tried so far. My therapist, Wanpen, has also suggested a firming cream to help maintain the effects, and recommends I start doing some home body-brushing before getting in the shower to help prevent cellulite.

The Vols pick up an explosive athlete and an Alabama linebacker in the last two days. Dave Miller
Butch Jones continues to do an outstanding job on the recruiting trail at Tennessee, as the first-year Volunteers head coach picked up yet another commitment from a highly sought recruit in the Class of 2014.
Brandon Powell, an explosive athlete from Deerfield Beach High School (Deerfield Beach, FL), gave a verbal pledge to the Vols on Sunday morning after attending one of Tennessee's camps on Saturday. He chose Rocky Top over offers from Auburn, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, LSU, Nebraska, Wisconsin and others.
The 5-9, 169-pounder rushed for 1,180 yards and 13 touchdowns, caught four touchdown passes and returned two punts and two kickoffs for scores in his junior campaign. He projects to be a real threat as a slot receiver because of his very good speed and the ability to make defenders miss in space. He is rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com and is on track to graduate in December so he can enroll at Tennessee in January.
The good news for the Vols came two days after picking up a commitment from one of the top linebackers in the Class of 2015, Florida product Cecil Cherry, and one day before adding Class of 2014 linebacker Gavin Bryant from Alabama. Bryant is the second linebacker commitment of 2014 and brings Tennessee's class back up to 16 pledges.
Earlier on Tuesday receiver Lawrence Lee decommitted from the Vols. He has a similar skill set to the talented and versatile Powell, so perhaps the Tennessee staff and Lee agreed that it would be best to part ways.
The momentum for Jones and his staff has continued into the summer months, which should excite fans of the Vols. The program's current Class of 2014 haul is led by running back Jalen Hurd and safety Todd Kelly Jr., two of the best nationally at their positions.

text: PRO LIFE NEWS (Mar. 19, 2007) St. Malachy Council 12540 Day of the Unborn Child: Sunday, March 25th, all Knights are encouraged to attend with their families the 2:30 praying of the Rosary. We will pray in honor of all those children who never had or will have the chance of life outside the womb. Big Cat will lead us in a short prayer session following the Rosary. Why All the Furor About HPV? HPV-What is it? Human papillomavirus is a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains. More than 30 of these strains are sexually transmitted and can infect the genital area of both men and women. How Common is HPV? Approximately 20 million people in the U.S. are currently infected with HPV. At least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms, will be unaware they are infected and will clear the infection on their own. What is the Connection Between HPV and Cervical Cancer? Approximately 10 of the 30 identified genital HPV strains can lead, in rare cases, to development of cervical cancer. Only 10,000 cases develop in the U.S. annually. An average of 3,700 women die each year. Research has shown that for most women (90 percent) cervical HPV infection becomes undetectable within two years. Most women who develop invasive cervical cancer have not had regular screening. How is the Risk of Obtaining HPV Reduced? As with any sexually-transmitted disease, the surest way to eliminate risk for genital HPV infection is to refrain from any genital contact with another individual. For those who choose to be sexually active, a long-term, monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner is the strategy most likely to prevent future infections. What is Gardasil? Merck & Co. has produced a vaccine, Gardasil, claiming that this vaccine will lessen the cases of cervical cancer caused by HPV. Merck has used Women in Government, an advocacy group of female legislators around the country, to introduce bills to mandate the vaccine in several states. In Texas, Governor Rick Perry recently announced that he was ordering the vaccination of all girls in public schools beginning with 6th graders. Legislation on forced mandates is still being considered in at least 20 other states, including Indiana. What isn't the Culture of Death Telling Us? o HPV is contracted through sexual contact and is not contagious. Therefore, almost all cases of HPV could be prevented through responsible sexual behavior, including fidelity in marriage and abstinence outside of marriage as the Church teaches. o Gardasil does not actually fully prevent cervical cancer. While Merck claims that it will prevent 70% of the types of HPV that cause cervical cancer, it only protects against four of the HPV strains. o The cost for the vaccine is $360 (which taxpayers would be forced to pay for) and Gardasil only lasts five years, so booster shots will be required as well. What is the Pro-Life Position on this Issue? o Mandatory vaccines should only be required when outbreaks of easily transmitted diseases may threaten a school or community. o The mandating of a vaccine such as Gardasil sets a dangerous precedent. What's next, the mandating of condoms? o Teach our children abstinence and HPV-caused cervical cancer goes away. "States should require vaccinations for communicable diseases, like measles and mumps. But you can't catch HPV if an infected schoolmate coughs on you or shares your juice box at lunch. Whether or not girls get vaccinated against HPV is a decision for parents and physicians, not state governments." U.S. Representative Phil Gingrey (Georgia)

Synod of the Northeast
We understand our Synod as a regional community of PCUSA presbyteries and their congregations committed to serving as supportive mutual partners. It is the responsibility of this regional community to walk alongside its presbyteries, offering the kinds of resourcing presbyteries are unable to provide alone. The Synod exists to serve its presbyteries through resourcing, guidance and the ability to gather partners on a larger scale. Drawing upon its regional size and diversity, the Synod provides valuable resources and opportunities for its presbyteries. The Synod also provides creative and less encumbered space for innovation. With governance simplified and without the intense relational and governance demands faced by most presbyteries, the Synod can be a place where creativity might be allowed to flourish.
Our Missionial Purpose
We are a regional community of presbyteries and congregations learning to respond to God's call to become agents of divine justice, transforming the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in the Northeast into a community of hospitality and welcome for all. We recognize that we have not always lived into the gift of our great diversity. We have not always fully welcomed all those within the communities we serve, including people of different racial or ethnic identities, economic classes, genders, abilities, sexualities, immigration statuses, or those who are marginalized in other ways. Finding deep joy in our differences, we commit to equipping the saints for a courageous and steadfast witness of love and hope; learning, growing, worshiping and working together.
The New Way Forward
The work of discovering and facilitating a New Way Forward for the Synod of the Northeast has been in process since the Synod Assembly of 2011. The goal of this part of our New Way Forward is to reduce by approximately 50% the human hours and energy required for the governance work of the Synod.
