To my mind, there are few purer joys in gaming than creating Traveller characters.
Below is my draft for my Traveller character generation rules for our upcoming Imperial Navy campaign. I think doing it this way should create some very competent, interconnected characters:
1) Each character will start with an array of numbers to put into your characteristics. Your standard array is 5,7,7,7,8,9, plus 2 points to put into a characteristic or characteristics of choice (note an average human characteristic is 6-8). Determine characteristic modifiers.
2) Choose a homeworld.
3) Record background skills. Remember, all skills start at Rank 0. If you select a skill again, it becomes Rank 1, and so on.
4) You're starting off as an 18 year-old. Since we're running a Imperial Navy-only campaign, character generation will differ a little here. For your first term, you may either a) directly enlist in the Navy (no need to roll), b) attempt to get into the Naval college, or c) try for another career field. The first option gets you going right away, but there's no chance of commission. Naval college can boost you up to a commission quickly, but if you flunk out, you're back to being a drifter for a bit. Trying for one 4-year term in something else before joining the Navy can give you some great experience, but can delay your chance for advancement. If you're going with option c) and want to make it random, declare for the draft! You'll end up in a random military-related career field for a term.
Every character will get at least one, no more than four terms in the Navy. Naval college graduates are treated as having "Crewman" path (getting the service skills from that path) before they move on to their chosen career field. Remember, if you don't like how something turned out, you get one auto-success and one reroll during chargen!
5) If this is your first time in your career, record your basic training skills. You get all skills listed under Service Skills at Level 0.
6) Choose a specialty. Choose one (and only one) of the Skills and Training tables for this career and roll. Roll on Survival to see if you make it to another term. For our purposes, if you don't make this roll, that's where your current development ends, and will be where you start the game. Good thing you have that free auto-success and reroll!
6a) If you did not succeed on your Survival roll, proceed to roll on the Mishap table. You will remain in the service, but may have some career-altering event in your past. If you made your Survival roll, disregard this step. If you had another career field before the Navy, you may roll on that career's mustering out table.
7) Roll for Events. Some players will want to take every opportunity they can to gain the highest military honours possible during character creation. As a result it is possible for players to go for glory whenever they are presented with a chance for a reward. A character may add up to 3 to the difficulty of the skill roll, making it much more likely to be injured. However, when it comes to receiving an award the modifier is added to the Effect instead.
7a) After your Events, you may optionally make a Connection with another player. For example, if you were injured in a fight against pirates, perhaps you say that Player X's character dragged yours to safety. Each player may do this once during Chargen. If a Connection is made, one additional skill roll is allowed to each player involved. No player may be involved in more than 2 Connections.
8) Roll for advancement, to see if you were promoted. Alternately, you may attempt to see if you gained commission. If commissioned, you immediately become a rank of O-1 (Sublieutenant). Note any bonuses that advancement or promotion grants.
9) After you first Naval term, you may roll to see if you qualify for one of the other Naval career paths: Engineering, Pilot, Gunnery, Command, Support, Small Craft Pilot, High Command, Naval Intelligence and Naval Research. If you fail, you may spend another term as a crewman, studying up and waiting for your big break. Note that you can also automatically join a career field if you meet the minimum number of terms required! Make sure to add 4 years to your age for each term served. If you are 34 or older, roll for Aging modifiers.
10) Each character will receive two free skill ranks to place where they wish. They may use the two ranks to buy one skill they do not have, or may increase any skills by one per rank.
11) Once everyone is done with the characters, the group takes turns selecting skills from the campaign pack. Every selects a listed appropriate skill until there are none left. The skills for your campaign are: Pilot (any) 1, Gunner (any) 1, Engineer (any) 1, Mechanic 1, Sensors 1, Medic 1, Comms 1, Astrogation 1. This represents the vital skills and minimum required training for a viable starship campaign.
12) Don't worry about equipment--weapons, armor, and other equipment are stored in the ship's locker, to be assigned as mission dictates. You don't have much personal space onboard, but you can write down a few personal effects and 1-2 tools of the trade, as needed. Yes, you get a Mulligan Stone (worth one free dice reroll for you or another, non-Referee player). You really, really want to save it in this game.

Thursday, the U.S. Army will host events at posts across the country aimed at helping soldiers and family members recognize when a friend or loved one needs help. The event comes on the heels of the Army seeing a record number of soldiers commit suicide in July. As our Brian Dwyer reports, the Army says it's working hard to help raise awareness and turn around the stigma that's previously kept troubled soldiers quiet.
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- No one denies how the problem started.
"I think at one point, there was perhaps a perception, if not a reality, that if you had a problem, we didn't want you here," Fort Drum Garrison Commander Col. Gary Rosenberg said.
But Fort Drum leaders say everyone needs to be on board with solutions. The Army released staggering numbers showing 38 soldier suicides in July. It's the highest in recent history.
Thursday, Drum and Army posts all across the world will be taking part in a suicide 'Stand Down.' It's a day of events aimed at helping soldiers, their family and civilian employees understand the warning signs, strengthen resilience and most importantly, let everyone know it's now okay to ask for help.
"In the past, there was the fear that if I seek behavioral health care, it's a sign of weakness. That is definitely not the case," Lt. Col. Christian Meko, the 10th Mountain Division Surgeon said. "It's actually a sign of strength."
Because often, overcoming that stigma, either by a soldier him or herself, or even by a loved one, can save a life.
"'Hey, this person is hurting. I care," Col. Rosenberg said. "I'm going to step in and help. Usually that's all it takes is someone just to care enough to step in and help."
Throughout the years, the focus of this stigma has normally been on soldiers and them feeling comfortable coming forward. There's greater attention being placed on higher ups, the chain of command, in allowing those soldiers to actually do that.
"It's a part of the promotion processes, part of the developmental processes, part of counseling, to make sure that they understand we want those individuals," Lt. Col. Meko said. "That they understand they have a problem to contend with and address it rather than ignore it and hope it goes away."
"We are putting extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances and extraordinary things are happening to them and not necessarily extraordinary from a positive perspective," Col. Rosenberg added.
Army officials recognize this is a complex problem without a cookie cutter solution. They say events like Thursday's Stand Down can only help in reaching that ultimate goal. Besides changing the way some things are done on post, Drum officials also say they've doubled the number of providers downrange overseas. They say deployed soldiers have more options for care now than ever before.

I got to meet Marie today.
She was in Spokane and asked if she could come by my house.
I said YES–of course!
It is ALWAYS such a treat to meet a blog or BPC friend. Marie is living in San Diego (she is actually from Washington) so she brought me an " I *heart* Sprinkles" shirt, from the Sprinkles bakery. I have wanted one for a LONG time. We chatted a little about life and work and classes she has taken. I showed her my very "worked in" studio and even gave her some "loved" storage binders, to start her collection. She is signed up for Finding Photo Freedom and it was fun to show her around my system.
Thanks for coming Marie!

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Houston Astros Baseball Club, Major League affiliate of the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks, is conducting an open tryout at Whataburger Field on Thursday, June 26.
Registration for the tryout, administered by Astros South Texas Area Scout Noel Gonzales-Luna, runs from 8-8:45 a.m. that morning on the ballpark's main concourse at Section 119. Tryouts begin promptly at 9 a.m.
Position players will be tested in running and throwing, and if qualified on those abilities, will be held over to hit on the field. Pitchers will throw from bullpen mounds. After further evaluation, additional hitting and bullpen sessions may be undertaken.
All participants must fill out and sign a waiver provided by the Astros. Athletes under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian sign as well. There is no age restriction, but age recommendation is 17-23.
Players should dress in baseball pants and bring spikes, gloves and bats. Catchers are responsible for their own gear.
The Astros are not responsible for any violations of a player's amateur status. Any player with remaining eligibility for high school or college baseball should take the necessary steps to protect their amateur status.
There is no fee to participate.
"This will be a good opportunity for some of the area's most talented amateurs to be seen by a pro scout," Hooks GM/VP Michael Wood said. "We've never had an event like this before in the 10 years of Hooks Baseball; it's another example of how the Hooks, Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend benefit from our partnership with the Astros."

On February 9th, 2001, the cottage where Dorothy Day lived at Spanish Camp on Staten Island was demolished.
The cottage was among the last remains of Spanish Camp. Dorothy Day, a founder of the Catholic Worker movement lived in one of the cottages for many years until she died in 1980.
Dorothy Day is under consideration for sainthood by the Vatican because of her work for the poor.
Christobel Gough from the Society for the Architecture
of the City of New York visits the site of the demolition.
A number of preservatiopn groups including Friends of Dorothy Day Cottages, The Preservation League of Staten Island, Society for the Architecture of the City of New York and Historic Districts Council had tried originally to save Spanish Camp and later at least the three cottages that had once been owned by the Catholic Worker organization.
The not-for-proft, Spanish Naturopath Society had owned Spanish Camp's 17 acres on Raritan Bay in southeast Annadale on Staten Island. It had sold the site to a developer John DiScala in 1999. John DiScala of Volpe-DeSimone, Inc., plans to build mini-mansions on lots on the site and now calls it "Central Park East Estates."
Up until the time of the demolition, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission was in talks with John DiScala regarding landmarking the cottages and having Friends of Dorothy Day Cottages maintain them.
Spanish American immigrants founded Spanish Camp in 1929 as a seaside summer retreat from various New York City barrios. Camp life included tan canvas tents on raised wooden platforms with open-air kitchens under canopies in the back; common showers, latrines, and water pumps; plentiful clamming and fishing, seasonal performances by celebrated Flamenco dancers and musicians in the Salon -- a lantern-strung hall with barn-like doors in the center of the Camp. In the late 1930's and early 1940's the tents became small summer bungalows; later, many were winterized. In 1972, Catholic Worker co-founder Dorothy Day bought a bungalow near the beach. She spent the last eight summers of her life in Spanish Camp, enchanted by the sound of breaking waves through her kitchen window, and the simple, cooperative living of her neighbors.
A letter sent to the Landmarks Preservation Commission on August 12, 1997, in support of Landmark designation for Spanish Camp:
To: Jennifer Raab,
Dear Ms. Raab,
The Preservation League would like to offer its services and support to the establishment of a NYC Historic District for the Spanish Camp community in Annadale, Staten Island. Spanish Camp presents a truly remarkable opportunity for the Landmarks Preservation Commission to recognize one of the city's cultural enclaves-and award it the benefits of landmark status. I understand that you and other staff members are planning a visit to the site. You will find a close knit community, living in small beach cottages. The quality of casual order in Spanish Camp reflects the principles and ideals the founding society, the Sociedad Natura Hispana. The society's members placed their bungalows around a commons and other communal facilities. The mowed commons and the buildings where they showered, did laundry and received mail are still on the site. There is meaning in the design of the compound as it reflects a way-of-life: simple, cooperative and close to nature.
In the last meeting of the PLSI Board we voted unanimously to support the Spanish Camp Residents Association in its effort to request historic district status for the full site. The lake, the open space, and the cottages are all a part of a community that should be preserved as an intact unit. The Dorothy Day cottage is the only extant building on Staten Island associated with one of the major religious figures of the twentieth century, but to recognize the Day cottage alone would make no sense in the proposed development of large houses-and to move it out of its context would be to compromise both its integrity and its meaning. Establishing Spanish Camp as a landmarked district would recognize an important part of the cultural history of our city, an history made by the renowned and the anonymous. The Preservation League of Staten Island urges immediate action by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.Sincerely,
Channell Graham President,
August 12, 1997

World's 5 Dumbest robbers
It seems logical that preparation is everything when it comes to committing a crime, so you can hardly blame 40-year-old Canadian Daniel Glen for wanting to cross the T's and dot the I's before robbing a local store. He probably should have stopped short of ringing the store clerk to ask if the cash register was full though.
Yes, amazingly Glen wanted to know if the trip would be worth his while and rang ahead to ask if the employees would be kind enough to count the cash and bag it for him ready to collect when he turned up.
The kind-hearted clerk gladly obliged, but not before ringing the police who were ready and waiting for the courteous criminal's arrival.
The thief who logged into Facebook
How addicted to social networking do you have to be to log onto the victim's computer and check your Facebook page while you're robbing their home? And how stupid do you have to be to forget to log out?
Just ask Pennsylvania resident Jonathan G Parker who did just that during a robbery he committed in his hometown in 2009.
The bank robber who left himself Post-it notes
During the course of routine enquiries after a local bank robbery in Marysville, California, police pulled over 64-year-old Arthur Cheney after they saw him driving a car that resembled the getaway vehicle reported by eyewitnesses.
Bank robber Arthur Cheney caught on CCTV before incriminating Post-it notes led to his arrest
It's hardly a smoking gun, so what led these curious coppers to make their arrest?
Well their suspicions may have been piqued when they noticed a Post-it note on the car's dashboard with the handwritten reminder: "Robbery – 100s and 50s only". D'oh!
The Robber who tried to rob a bank that had already closed
A bank robber was arrested in Liberty, Pennsylvania, USA, after police said he tried to rob a bank that had already closed for the afternoon. Christopher Allen Koch, 28, arrived at Citizens & Northern Bank around 11.40am and sat inside his car in the bank's parking lot for 20 minutes. But Koch had not read the opening hours, posted on the bank's door and the bank closed at noon. He tried to enter the bank at 12.01 pm – a minute too late. He was wearing ski mask and gloves and had a gun. Employees inside spotted Koch and got a license plate number that led police to him. Koch was charged with criminal attempted robbery and possessing instruments of a crime.
The Robber who drove a stolen car to court
A 37-year-old man was charged with stealing a Lexus SUV after he drove it to court the day a jury decided whether to convict him in an unrelated auto theft charge.
Police were suspicious after watching the San Francisco hairstylist walk to the car, parked in front of the courthouse, with keys in hand. The car also attracted attention as it had several Yorkshire Terriers mulling around it. The man was charged with receiving a stolen vehicle, receiving stolen property and charges of animal cruelty for leaving the dogs unattended in the vehicle.
Meanwhile, the jury convicted the man of the original auto theft charge. He was charged with possession of a Porsche Carrera, valued at $125,000, that had been stolen from a San Anselmo home.

12. It's more than a number. 12 can mean a lot to a fan of soccer. Today, it means even more to fans of DFE.
Not only is DFE and the rest of North End United the 12th man of FC DALLAS, but more importantly, only 12 days remain before the DFE Season Ticket price of $288 goes away, and when it does, go away, it will leave us forever.
If you are reading this right now, it is because you haven't purchased a Season Ticket with DFE for next season. The blame for this does not rest on your shoulders, but rather mine and mine alone. The only plausible explanation for this hesitation is that I simply have not done a good enough job demonstrating the value of this. So here are some of the Season Ticket Holder Benefits that are included with a DFE Season Ticket:
- Strongest FC Dallas Schedule Ever (18 games) in 2013 with 5 bona fide Sell Outs
- TWO LA Galaxy games (Beckham Farewell), Houston Dynamo, Chicago Fire, 4th of July, and Bonus International Friendly Game
- You will be PRICE-LOCKED AT $288 ** UNTIL 2015**
- Food for thought: Section 103 Season Ticket Prices from 2011 to 2013
This is only the trend until 2013. Imagine how much more these will go up in 2014 and beyond…
• 7 Month No Interest Payment Plan – this dwindles the longer you wait!
• Save over 60% in total price vs. general public to be in the first 8 rows of the coveted West Side!
• Exchange dates in case you can't make a match – no tickets go to waste on our watch, so bring friends!
• Entered to win our grand prize – a tour to follow the US Men's National Team during World Cup qualifying
• Invitation to the Annual 2013 Meet the Team Event (exclusive to Season Ticket Holders)
• Free Parking
• Coupon books for merchandise and food as well as Season Ticket Holder gifts
• Newsletter and access to special pre-sales for concerts and events coming to DFW & FC Dallas Stadium
• Complimentary 2 Month Subscription to MLS Live – watch every MLS game on your phone or laptop
But DFE is more than just those things….
Dallas Football Elite is a sense of community. A sense of belonging. Ultimately, of being a part of something bigger than a piece of cardstock with a seat number printed on it. It's being an ambassador for the fastest-growing sport in the United States according to ESPN.
It's beer pong tournaments, away game watch parties, pre and post-game tailgates, soccer teams and tournaments. It's the euphoria of a high-five or friendly hug when Julian de Guzman rips a volley for a win in the 96th minute in a must-win rivalry game. It's friendships that will last you a lifetime. Still not convinced? Fine, don't take it from me. Just ask any of the 32 new members that have already signed up since August 1st, or any of the current 60 plus members now!
Want to go and by game by game next season? Fine by me. Just understand you will be paying $45 per ticket for our blockbuster "A" games for those very same seats. If you plan on making at least 5 out of 18 games next year, you are already saving with a Season Ticket purchase before October 8th. And I don't want to be the guy that says "I told you so." I hate that guy…
So Be a Part of the 2013 DFE Class. All it Takes is a Minimum Deposit of $41 before October 8th.
Contact Filip Prus today to get in with the DFE and this amazing deal!

When funds are limited and cuts need to be made, wise decisions are imperative. As a former educator with 25 years of experience, I commend the N.C. General Assembly for making judicious decisions for the students of this state.
When I became Guidance Director of the high school I was working in, I was shocked and appalled to learn that 60 percent of our incoming ninth graders read at the sixth grade level or below. One of the most serious errors made in education is to continually promote students whose reading scores are significantly below grade level.

They would probably still get him on it or something similar. A buddy of mine got a DUI because he was asleep in the backseat because he was drunk and the keys were just in the ignition so he wouldn't lose them then he wakes up to the cop knocking on his window and writes him a ticket.

9 Water-Conserving Tips for Summer Gardening
Across the country, the heat is on. To keep your grass or your garden alive during the summer heat wave without driving your water bill to new heights, follow these tips.
By Roy Berendsohn
4. Make Sure Mulch Doesn't Crust Over
Mulch is great for holding in moisture and keeping the base of plants cool. However, a thick layer of mulch can also form a crust that prevents water from soaking in. Break up crusted mulch with a rake to allow water in.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on June 7, 2011
Please contact your state Representative today!
Senate Bill 347 B-Engrossed is expected to be heard on the state House floor tomorrow, June 8. Introduced by state Senator Diane Rosenbaum (D-21), SB 347 was amended in the state House to include a provision that would prohibit a public body from releasing information that identifies either an applicant for, or a holder of, a concealed handgun license (CHL). A key factor of this bill is that it would also exempt the disclosure of records pertaining to a domestic violence service or a resource center that assists those affected by domestic or sexual violence who visit the center for referrals, resource information, or any related services.
This is an extremely valuable legislative fix in that a woman or any individual who is granted protections under this legislation would, upon applying for a CHL, have any or all of their personal information immediately become public record, which could create an increased environment for victimization.
Please contact your state Representative and respectfully urge him or her to support SB 347. For help identifying your state Representative and for his or her contact information, please click here.
Also being considered tomorrow in the state House is Senate Bill 924 B Engrossed, which would set penalties for the illegal taking of specific species, including but not limited to wildlife. Poaching has been on the rise in Oregon and SB 924 would address this growing problem it creates for all outdoorsmen.
Sponsored by state Senator Brian Boquist (R-12), SB 924 would create the imposition of a maximum fine allowed under law if a person is convicted more than three times of a Class A misdemeanor involving the illegal taking of wildlife. It would require the imposition of a fine (the greater amount of $6,250 or the maximum allowed by law) if an individual takes three times the daily bag limit of any wildlife species, as well as would require the revocation of all recreational tags, licenses and permits for the illegal taking or sale of a threatened or endangered species for a period of time as dictated by the courts.
On June 3, SB 924 was amended in the state House to include sunset modifications in January of 2015 pending a report from the Department of Fish and Wildlife related to the above modifications, which must be submitted to the Legislative Assembly no later than January of 2014.
Please contact your state Representative to encourage his or her support for this important conservation measure. For help identifying your state Representative and for his or her contact information, please click here.

Constitutional Coalition
* * * *
Now let's talk about some of the critical issues at hand, beginning with one we don't hear about very often: judicial supremacy. Though the judicial branch of government is supposed to be the toothless division designated purely for determining the constitutionality of issues brought before them, they have gone far beyond that. In "The Supremacists," a book by Phyllis Schlafly, we can learn how the "blind" system of justice is really an activists interest group bent on interpreting what they view as an ever-changing document. That same document is the very Constitution we rely on to keep our country glued together, and yet in the last 50 years, we've seen little else but a continuous trampling of that essential document. Schlafly writes:
"An Embarrassment for Supremacists
The judicial supremacists like to cite Marbury v. Madison because it is just too embarrassing to cite the case that really started judicial supremacy: Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857), the first case in which the Supreme Court tried to expand its power over other branches of government. It was for many reasons one of the most disastrous court decisions in history.
Dred Scott was a black slave who traveled to free territories and then sued for his freedom. Instead of simply deciding the controversy, the Supreme Court handed down an aggressively activist, judicially supremacist, pro-slavery decision. It dismissed Dred Scott's complaint, saying that he didn't even have the right to be a plaintiff in a lawsuit: blacks "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect," and even the free blacks in the Northern states didn't have the right to be citizens. The Court declared unconstitutional the federal law, passed in 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise, forbidding slavery in most of the Western territories. It was only the second federal law in history declared unconstitutional.
The Constitution limits the jurisdiction of the federal courts to "cases and controversies." Federal courts are not supposed to give advisory opinions about issues that are not before them as a case or controversy. Dred Scott is a good example of the Court trying to decide issues that were not necessary to its decision, and the Court ended up causing gross injustices. Abraham Lincoln refused to accept that the Supreme Court could set public policy, and he endured much criticism for attacking the Dred Scott decision. But Lincoln was absolutely correct in identifying not only the intrinsic wrongness of the decision, but also its terrible consequences in upsetting our form of government.
In his First Inaugural Address (March 4, 1861), Lincoln admitted that the Supreme Court decision was personally binding on plaintiff Dred Scott, but Lincoln expressed the hope that its "evil effect" would be "limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases." In other words, Lincoln accepted judicial review as binding in the case, but he rejected judicial supremacy-the notion that the Supreme Court was supreme in creating new laws for the nation-because that would abolish self-government and submit us to the rule of judges. Lincoln identified the evil of judicial supremacy: "If the policy of the government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
Precisely. Lincoln agreed that the Supreme Court could decide the fate of Dred Scott. But he rejected the notion that an "eminent tribunal" should be allowed to make public policy. That would mean submitting to the rule of judicial supremacists rather than to the Constitution and the rule of law.
Lincoln defied the Dred Scott opinion by issuing passports to blacks and otherwise treating them as citizens, and he signed legislation to place limits on slavery in the Western territories. The Dred Scott decision exacerbated the conflict over efforts to restrict slavery and pushed our country toward a terrible war to correct the injustice wrought by the power-grabbing Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, later generations forgot the principles of our Constitution that Lincoln so clearly understood. It's time we listened to his wisdom.
Anyone who thinks that we need judicial supremacy to protect the rights of minorities must accept that judicial supremacists gave us the injustice of the Dred Scott decision. Anyone who thinks we need judicial supremacists to protect civil rights should remember George Washington's warning that we should permit the Constitution to be amended only in the way that the Constitution provides: "Let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
Judicial supremacy is a creeping shadow. It's like the water the frog sat in on the stove top. The water felt cool at first, but because its temperature rose so gradually he never realized the deadly heat until he was boiling to death. Don't let the Constitution - or our rights - be boiled to death. Learn what judicial supremacy is and learn how you can fight it. Read more in Phyllis Schlafly's book, "The Supremacists."

Monaco tightened their grip on second place in the French Ligue 1 table with a 3-0 win over Nantes.
Having not tasted victory in their previous two league outings, Claudio Ranieri's team were sent on their way thanks to a brace from Colombian James Rodriguez.
Andrea Raggi was on target in between times as Alejandro Bedoya headed a consolation for Nantes.
Monaco's win meant they remained 13 points adrift of leaders Paris St Germain, with six games remaining, but more importantly six clear of third-placed Lille in the race for the second Champions League place.
St Etienne lost ground in that battle as they had to rely on a Max Gradel stoppage-time penalty to claim a 1-1 draw against Nice at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
All three points looked to be heading back to the south coast courtesy of Mathieu Bodmer's solitary strike, but in the last minute Didier Digard was sent off for a handball in the area and Ivory Coast international Gradel made no mistake from 12 yards.
Bafetimbi Gomis scored his 100th Ligue 1 goal to help Lyon to a hard-fought 2-1 win over 10-man Valenciennes, who remain six points adrift of safety.
The French international gave the hosts the lead before Waris Majeed offered hope for Ariel Jacobs' side with a leveller shortly after the hour mark.
That advantage, though, lasted just a matter of minutes as Jordan Ferri scored his second of the season in some style.

I have been known to hoard a container or two (or a hundred) because they offer a plethora of repurposing possibilities. I was pretty wowed when I came across this Pottery Barn inspired lamp on Instructables that was made from none other than a recycled oatmeal container. All dressed up with a geometric pattern and […Read More]
Give New Life to Old Pillowcases with Dye
Angie of Knick of Time Interiors has found a new obsession in dyeing. It all started with Pottery Barn crochet-trimmed pillow shams that reminded Angie of ones she had stored away in a drawer years before and long forgotten. Angie pulled out the old pillowcases only to recall exactly why they were stuffed in a drawer – they were dingy and even had some some spots on them. Just when you think all is lost… it's dye to the rescue! Angie whipped up a batch of grey dye and brought those dingy old pillowcases back to life!
Pickle Jars to Pottery Barn Inspired Candles
Adina from Simply Country Life says you should think twice before throwing away your old jars and repurpose them instead. Adina was inspired to embellish gallon-size pickle jars with twine and pinecones for a festive Christmas candle holder. This is such a simple fix for a plain glass jar and can easily be modified for different holidays and occasions.
Punched Tin Can Ornament with Light
Lauren from The Thinking Closet purchased one of Crate & Barrel's Hakkari Candle Holders last fall and was inspired to create her own version, but ornament-style! Lauren repurposed an old tin can and shares tips for creating a punched design without indenting the can. To get the soft, glowing effect, Lauren just inserted a Christmas light from the tree. She says, "It's one of my favorite creations…and is a really inexpensive way to get a high-end look!"
Burlap Owl Swag Wreath
When Gail from Purple Hues and Me saw a swag wreath with a small handcrafted owl in perched in the middle, she couldn't help but wonder why the adorable owl wasn't larger and more emphasized than the twigs. Sounds like the perfect excuse for a DIY! Gail replicated the swag, making her owl large and in charge… and from a soap bottle no less! I am blown away by all the detail Gail put into her owl including the twine eyes and pinecone scale wings.
Round Rope Mirror
Gina from Our Impeccably Perfect Life decided to follow the rope trend and make over a "gold, granny floral mirror" she hadn't really liked since the day she brought it home. So pretty much she had nothing to lose! Armed with a 50-foot bag of manilla rope and a hot glue gun, Gina and her hubs spent only an hour transforming the once mediocre mirror into a trendy piece that's perfect for summer.

The Cave was released way back in January as a downloadable title for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Steam, and probably everything else that can slap together an Internet connection and a few polygons. Adventure game aficionados were thrilled, because it's got quite a pedigree, coming from the designer of classics The Secret of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, along with being developed by the much-loved Double Fine. Now it's out for Android, and you can pick it up on the Play Store for five bucks.
Superheroes are good at fighting evil directly and getting the girl, but have you ever thought about the valuable and experienced support staff behind the hero? Of course you haven't, because a good middle manager is invisible – like a ghost loaded down with busy work. In Double Fine's Middle Manager of Justice, you can build and manage a team of superheroes to save the world in a roundabout way.
The game invites you to hire heroes and keep them busy around the office to increase their skills.
Double Fine is a maker of quality games like Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, and now Dropchord. The latter title has just been released, and it's going to get your head bobbin' and your fingers dancin'. Really, the finger dancin' is mandatory. You have to keep up with the music as you guide a beam of light through a technicolor gauntlet.
Dropchord comes with ten full-length electronic music tracks that dictate the pace of the music and the kind of obstacles you'll encounter.
You may remember that a few days ago, Double Fine Adventure (the studio behind Psychonauts and Day of the Tentacle) did the impossible, far exceeding their project's $400,000 goal on Kickstarter in just over eight hours (the project has raised over $1 Million with 26 days to go). Initially, Double Fine planned to invest extra proceeds in developing the studio's latest game for other platforms, with iOS and Mac being priorities.

Why use epinephrine with lidocaine
Common Questions and Answers about Why use epinephrine with lidocaine
I have to go have a tooth filled tomorrow and I'm somewhat apprehensive about the anesthetic. I know most often the ones they
because it's a vasoconstricter and causes the anesthesia to work longer. I know you can request the anesthetic without the epi but then it wears off quickly (like when they are drilling on your tooth). I asked my cardiologist and he said if I didn't get a big dose of the epi, if it was mixed, with the beta blockers I should be ok.

I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren't used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.

. You can ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine, I have had tons of dental work and always ask for that. Dentist doesn't mind at all and I've never had any problems. It doesn't last as long but if you start to feel anything while they are working the dentist will just give you more. I have done fine with it.

The amount is so small that I have never heard of it causing tachycardia, although this is theoretically possible.

no cardiac events. My guess is that that is a coincidence here. The temporary fast heart rate in the absence of chest pain, pressure or other symptoms should have no long-lasting effects whatsoever. An EKG will verify that because tissue death is reflected in an abnormal ST segment.

) and
. All standard local anaesthetics contain the preservative sodium bisulfite or metabisulfite. The preservative is necessary to keep the epinephrine fresh (epi quickly deteriorates and becomes useless otherwise). The standard local anesthetic cartridges (called lidocaine in the U.S. and lignocaine in the U.K.) have epi added". http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/allergy_novacaine.

You can have your dentist
an anesthetic that does not contain
to rule out any possibility of these complications. For example, carbocaine 3% without epi. I use it every day on heart patients. It is perfectly safe if you are not allergic to it. The most common anesthetic, lidocaine, typically has a very small amount of epi in it to help the anesthetic last longer and to help minimize bleeding.

I had a tooth pulled, they used

low rate for 8 days. Then afib every 2-3 day. I was given Rythmol as PIP. I gradually have had less afib, but, each one has 100 for rate...I called dr. and asked him what to do....he said I needed ablation and bp monitors were not accurate. I got a new dr. and new dr. did not say anything about the lowered rate. I go to new EP next week. I will ask him.

A-fib can be managed
medication if ablation is not an option or is not successful. I'm not sure
they would require you to retire on disability. I have friends with a-fib that are still working. One is in his 70's, still working part time. As for tachy bursts, I've had them all my life, given birth to 3 kids and raised them (talk about stress) and worked with wildlife for 21 years now. Does my heart kick up into tachy? Yeah but I wait it out if I have to. Don't give up just yet.

normal hearts, rhythm wise, but
a known arrhythmia, engaging in illegal drug use is asking for major problems. Also, when I go to the dentist, since I have an arrhythmia, I always ask that they use a local anesthetic (like Novocain) without Epinephrine, which is related to adrenaline. Epinephrine helps to sustain the anesthetic, but can cause heart rhythm problems.

the actual anesthetic e. g.
. Most people who have a genuine allergic reaction to local anesthetics are not allergic to the actual anesthetic agent. It is much more common (though still rare) to be allergic to preservatives in the local anesthetic solution. So, an allergy specialist may be able to help identify the allergen and desensitize you. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

In preparation for the sentinel node procedure, I had the radioactive tracer injected in 4 shots around my nipple, while in nuclear medicine. The radiologist said that he would be drawing up

North Course
Designed by the award-winning Schmidt-Curley golf-course architecture firm, the North Course located in the third phase of the Sun City Shadow Hills community built by Del Webb is constructed to take advantage of natural plant materials which consume less water and promote ecologically-friendly agronomic practices.
Turfed with Hybrid Bermuda grass and dotted with flowering shrubs, the par-3 course is perfect for golfers to sharpen their iron games. With holes ranging from 135 to 210 yards, precision is paramount. Approximately 40 percent of the course is turf and showcases several water features, fairway undulations and a variety of tee boxes to challenge seasoned golfers and delight beginners.
The North Course is visually stunning and enjoyable, says Lead Designer Grant Haserot of Schmidt-Curley Design. We created a unique look and feel to the
This course is a perfect mix of water-efficiency, diverse play and natural beauty, says Ryan Stemsrud, General Manager of Shadow Hills. A par-3 layout is much friendlier and less time consuming than a full-length course, especially for new golfers.
Shadow Hills Golf Club is enrolled in Audubon International's Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses to ensure protection of the local environment, conserve natural resources and protect wildlife habitats.
The North Course debut comes just after the opening of 10 new model homes and a host of new amenities at Sun City Shadow Hills. The new 15,700-square-foot Santa Rosa Clubhouse contains the North Course pro shop. The course is pending an official rating by the Southern California Golf Association.
As with the 18-hole, championship South Course at Shadow Hills, BCG will manage all aspects of the North Courses operation. This includes golf-course and property maintenance, staffing and training, clubhouse operations, merchandising, golf instruction, marketing and public relations, special events and financial management.

Harris Corporation Introduces New Private And Secure Nationwide Managed Services Network
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), an international communications and information technology company, has introduced a new managed services solution that will enable customers to move massive amounts of data securely over a nationwide, high-capacity terrestrial communications network.
The Harris Trusted Enterprise Network (HTEN) is designed specifically for large enterprises that must transport large amounts of mission-critical information securely within a private environment, such as government agencies, military, first responders, healthcare organizations, and investment firms. Network services will be provided by Harris within a managed services structure that can be customized for each user to meet individual requirements for security, bandwidth, speed, availability, and focused customer care. The network will be fully operational in January 2013.
HTEN consists of more than 15,000 fiber route miles, 100 gigabits of capacity on each route, and more than 30 points of presence across the U.S. When combined with the company's existing terrestrial infrastructure within the U.S., which includes 3,500 terrestrial circuits in 29 states, Harris can offer its customers one of the most robust fiber networks in the industry.

"We are experienced at managing and operating highly reliable networks under a performance-based business model offered at competitive prices."Similar to the private, Harris-developed Federal Aviation Administration Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI), the new end-to-end HTEN offering is now available to other government and commercial organizations that need an ultra-reliable network to transport their mission-critical information. Today FTI provides secure, voice, data and video communications for nearly 50,000 FAA employees and the nation's air traffic control system, supporting more than 2 million passengers a day.

ICF International
Categorized Under: Community Development
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reforming the Universal Service Fund (USF) fund as a major part of the National Broadband Plan. Broadband is driving rapid changes in the USF's High Cost fund, which supports traditional telecommunications services. Commercial providers should understand this topic to help them weigh the pros and cons of each approach and evolve existing business strategies as necessary. State regulators should research this issue in order to ensure that they understand the potential costs and benefits of a High Cost subsidy support mechanism versus a reverse auction USF support methodology.
In this article, Michael Spead, a Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Senior Manager of the High Cost Fund and currently ICF's Senior Technical Specialist on USF issues, highlights how a reverse auction structure, proposed by both the FCC and the large carriers, could provide the benefit of allowing commercial providers to focus on their core competency, deploying cost-efficient broadband networks in a technology neutral fashion.
Senior Technical SpecialistICF International
Michael Spead, former senior program manager at the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), has more than 10 years of experience in broadband/telecommunications program and project management, policy analysis and regulatory compliance, business process engineering, and financial analysis. Mr. Spead leverages his understanding of the broadband/telecommunications ecosystem to develop successful programs and projects to support state, local, and commercial entities, and he monitors changes in broadband/telecommunications policy to provide technical advisory services for clients. At USAC, Mr. Spead also served as an ambassador for a nationwide outreach initiative with telecommunications firms to build relationships, train industry leaders, and address issues relating to the Universal Service Fund (USF).
