Not all little girls grow up playing with Barbie dolls.
For Adrianne Palicki, it was Barbies and G.I. Joes, which probably explains why the former "Friday Night Lights" stunner is locked and loaded as Lady Jaye in "G.I. Retaliation" -- director Jon M. Chu's sequel to "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" -- which makes its way onto Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday (Paramount Home Media Distribution).
A proud native of Toledo, Ohio, the 30-year-old Palicki told me in an interview Monday that her fascination with G.I. Joe began as a little girl.
"I have a big brother who is my best friend and I don't know how he forgave me, but I used to steal his G.I. Joes and play with them," Palicki fondly recalled. "And now, for my birthday this year, he gave me a really cool gift -- he found original Jinx and Lady Jaye action figures and gave them too me. It was awesome, because those are the ones I used to steal from him and play with."
These days, Palicki said she's been blessed to have the opportunity to play with some real life-sized action figures -- including Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis -- in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."
"Honestly, it's so crazy. I met Dwayne before we started shooting and we trained together. He couldn't be more of down-to-earth person," Palicki said. "Other than the fact that he's this ginormous person, you forget that he's this entity. He couldn't be more giving. He was rolling around on the floor with us in rehearsals with Jon. It was him, D.J. Catrona and I getting crazy."
Palicki admitted that it was hard to shake the image Willis and his role in "Die Hard," when he came aboard the production to play the pivotal supporting role of Gen. Joe Colton.
"Bruce came in half way through, and we went to dinner before we started shooting," Palicki remembered. "I was sitting there, thinking, 'This is so surreal. I am sitting across from John McClane.' First all, he was one of my first crushes on the planet, and second, he couldn't be a cooler person. I did eventually forget I was working with these guys when we started shooting, until all of a sudden Bruce would shoot a look and I'd think, 'Oh my God, that was "Die Hard." He did the squinty-eyed thing.'"
Only a handful of major cast members return from the first "G.I. Joe" film for "G.I. Joe Retaliation" -- Duke (Channing Tatum), Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and White Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) -- which introduces us to a new core cast including Palicki, Johnson (who plays Roadblock) and D.J. Catrona (Flint).
Picking up on the story set up at the end of "The Rise of Cobra," the new "G.I. Joe" finds a scaled-back group of Joes trying to stop a plan by Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) -- who is masquerading as the U.S. president (Jonathan Pryce) -- to trick superpowers around the world into a trap that cause a global disaster and lead to domination by COBRA.
Since "G.I. Joe" has such an enormous presence in popular culture, Palicki said she knew going in that there would be pressure by the fan base concerning the role. Thankfully, the actor said, she's been down that road and taken a few lumps before.
"I've done quite a few comic book adaptations, and the hardest one for me was (the 2011 TV pilot for) 'Wonder Woman.' That was a very big thing, and there was a very specific way fans wanted to see her," Palicki recalled. "I thought though, 'If I don't play it the way I see the character, then I'm not acting and I'm also going to not deliver in a way people can get excited about.' There are too many people with too many ideas of what the character should be."
The key, Palicki said, with "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," was approaching the film with a balance in mind.
"I think all of felt that we have to go in and be true to the character as much as possible, but we have to put our own spin on it, because otherwise, we're just playing the same character over and over again," Palicki said.
Taking risks
Chu, along with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, make it very clear from the beginning of "Retaliation" that are willing to shake up the G.I. Joe universe, and Palicki said she couldn't have been more thrilled that they did.
"I have to say one of the things that drew me to the script was that one of the main characters dies within the first 10 pages -- I was shocked," Palicki explained. "But when I was talking to Lorenzo, he told me that, 'It allows the audience to be prepared for the fact that anything's possible. At that point, anybody in the entire story can die.' I think it's a really cool thing because of knowing what the outcome is going to be, you're instead sitting on the edge of your seat the entire time. You don't know if you can get attached to that person because they might actually die by the end of the movie."
Thankfully, Palicki survives "G.I. Joe Retaliation," and she confirmed that she is returning for another, yet-to-be titled "G.I. Joe" sequel. And while she can't share any details of the new film, her character will live on in the meantime in the form of her own Lady Jaye action figure, which Hasbro produced for the movie line.
And who knows? Maybe that figure can inspire girls much in the years she was inspired all those years ago.
"It's funny, a lot of my friends used to laugh at me, saying, 'Most actors throughout their careers feel like they'll be most fulfilled if they get an Oscar, but you're the kind of person who will be most fulfilled when you get an action figure,'" Palicki enthused. "Now I have an action figure, and it's pretty bad-a--. It's like my life is almost complete now."
The big question is, now that Palicki has her figure, does she feel like standing up at a podium, and boasting like those people who finally win that Oscar?
"No, because I'm not an a------," Palicki said, laughing. "I might have done it in the mirror, but that's it."
Adrianne Palicki loves being locked, loaded as Lady Jaye in 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'

Third time's a charm for Norman Regional Health System, which landed on the Best Places to Work In Oklahoma list for the third consecutive year. OKCBiz, a local business magazine, annually identifies and honors Oklahoma's best employers through this list.
"We achieved this award because of the people that work at Norman Regional. Our employees are dedicated and loyal—always striving to provide the best in healthcare and the best in whatever service they provide," said Norman Regional President and CEO David Whitaker. "Employees participate in department meetings, sharing ideas and suggestions. They make suggestions to leadership, and leadership listens and has implemented many of those employee suggestions."
Best Companies Group collected data from the entrants and performed employee surveys to determine which companies had the best practices, ranking them accordingly. Each participating company also received an in-depth analysis of the data.
OKCBiz Associate Publisher Jeffri-Lynn Dyer said, "The Best Places to Work competition motivates local companies to strive for workplace excellence and recognizes those that have achieved it."
OKCBiz will announce the rankings of the Best Places to Work finalists at its annual awards dinner on May 14th and in its Best Places to Work magazine publishing inside the June issue of OKCBiz.
Norman Regional is a health system comprised of a 337-bed acute care hospital, a 45-bed acute care hospital in Moore, Okla., and, slated to be completed in fall of 2009, a 135-bed specialty hospital.

The are worth so much now in cash..not just stocks right? I mean they have CASH in the vault. Even if the stock drops to nothing..they have BILLIONS in the bank for reserves unlike other companies.
Posted 24 September 2012 - 07:33
Can't argue with a bit of that. What is very sad is that all U.S. tech firms seems to employ the same strategy and that may shoot them in the foot one day. It makes very little sense to actively shift jobs away from the very consumers that are supposed to buy these dandy toys. One would think people employed in the tech industry would have some foresight, but that doesn't seem to be the case.That's what happens when an American company employees people working in slave-like conditions in China to make their products rather than giving the jobs to people in their home country. By simply reducing their profit margin slightly they could still offer the same products at the same price and provide the US economy with much needed jobs, while improving brand image. Instead the slave factories they employ have to put up anti-suicide nets at all their facilities to prevent their workers from literally jumping to their deaths, while riots break out due to the oppressive treatment of "employees". Globalisation has allowed businesses to avoid all the legal safeguards required in their native country by exporting jobs to countries which race-to-the-bottom to provide the worst working conditions and lowest pay. No company needs a trillion dollars in the bank and in fact it gives them far too much influence.
Infinite growth with limited resources and a limited population is unsustainable. The economic model employed by most countries and businesses is completely unsustainable and creates a huge amount of suffering as economies boom and bust.

Well, I can see both sides. When I was a kid there wasnt anywhere I couldnt go. We would hike just about anywhere we wanted. If there was a sign, we'd stop and ask(and usuallyget)permision.
Today is different. We have been surounded by transplanted city folks who do not want anyone on their property. However, These same people feel its perfectly all right to do as they please on everyone elses land. I have a neihbor who helps himself to my berry patch, my pear trees and likes to walk in my woods because there are actually navigatble trails. But If I ASK: NOPE, SORRY
It makes it hard when I'm running my huntin dogs or just wanna go walk-about.
But to answer your question with my opinion. I guess if you own it you get to make the rules. And thats the way it aught to be.
You may have opened a can of worms with this, so should be fun to discuss. My property isn't posted, however I want to know who's there and reserve the right not to allow all to come. For me its a divide between being the steward and payer of this land and allowing other to enjoy the woods. Landowners in the Adirondack Park in N.Y. face many restictions from the State, plus high taxes, good paying jobs are few and far between, we as landowners bare the brunt of having to pay high taxs and yet live with these restrictions, would seem just to ease up on taxes, would making taking the bitter pill being told what you can or can't do a little easier. I like most who were brought up here like to fish and hunt, to do so I have to buy a licience, why not hikers and day users? The money could then be used to offset land taxes, by allowing vistors to use my land would allow my land taxes to be cut, if on the other hand I choose not to then I get no tax cut. Anyone who comes here and doesn't like the color of my house ect. does not have any right to distroy or deface my hard work, and should be put in jail. We have same problem over here as davison, weekend people post a 1/4 acre then want to walk your land, has to be two way street. One last thought for now, best way to protect your land, is by allowing your nieghbors to use it for hunting, fishing, ect.
I have to side with land owners. First of all, if trespassers are bitten by dogs and harmed by animals on the property, or fall and break a leg, you can bet they'll file a hefty lawsuit against the owner. So the owner most certainly should be able to have a sign telling them to keep out, and harass (get them off the property) them if they violate the sign.
In a perfect world (without lawyers), I could see the notion of "just passing through" and no harm no worries. But this isn't a perfect world and I think the property owner has to have his rights protected and respected.
Earth Home Project:www.freewebs.com/stocktonunderground
In N.Y. there is a law protecting landowners who open their land for public use from lawsuits if someone is hurt, however if for example I created a hazard and didn't properly warn I could be on my own, also have to bear in mind that jury trials could be a whole different deal, thats why I want to know who is on my land both for their saftey and mine. I don't have to post my land to keep undesirbles out I can give notice to leave, if they don't I can simply call 911 and have them removed and arrested, should they choose to leave but come back later, I just call sheriffs dept. and inform them that so and so was asked to leave but has choosen to come back, at that point I can file charges for trespass. Thankfully in the 35 years we have lived here have never had a bit of trouble, am aware that it could change with more and more people coming to our area. I would advise against confortation much wiser to let the law people handle it.
The author is trying to cover their criminally negligent act of destroying someone else's property (signs) with some emotional plea to hiking? What's next fences?
I personally dislike fences and signs. They're not nature. They're ugly. They can't be made beautiful. They're ugly. That said, I realize that I need a fence around my property to keep out dogs, and to keep mine in. Neighbors will shoot strange dogs (to protect their chickens), and so I have to keep my dogs in for their own protection.
The thought of someone taking it upon themselves to violate my rights by destroying a sign I put up or a fence, makes my blood run cold. If I catch anyone doing this, believe me; I will be the living crap out of them, and then I will prosecute them to the greatest extent that I can
And if they have the gall to try to sue me for assault, I'll say that I feared for my life and no jury will dare side against me.
Death penalty for trespassing? Seems abit harsh. For the first offense I think I'd vote for just puttem in the stocks and throw rotten veggies atem. The second time you burnem at the stake. After that??
I worked with a nutcase who shot at a hunter who accidently got on his land(no it wasnt posted). Last I knew he was still in jail.
I would have to disagree with the article's author on a number of points. First, he talks about a private driveway road passing through a number of properties. Legally, I'd have to assume that represents an easement to pass. After all, private property which is landlocked cannot be sold legally in my state (Oregon). An easement is required across or through any private land that the road crosses. If an easement exists, then one could assume that pedestrian traffic can not be excluded from using the easement (even if posted). In the case where a driveway or road access goes exclusively to one property and ends there then the owner of that property can and does have the right to exclude others from entering or remaining on their private property by the posting of signs. Even in the absence of posted signs, verbal notice that the parcel is private and the intruder is tresspassing is sufficient to exclude the tresspasser and to require them to vacate the property.
Legal definition of "Tresspasser"- One who intentionally and without consent enters another's property.
"Criminal Tresspass"- Entering or remaining upon or in any land, structure, or transportation device when such premises or property are posted in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders.
Here is a file of a no tresspass sign that uses all of the legally correct wording and also has referrences to the US Code Titles and sections where the law is stated. This can be useful for making clear and legal postings which can even exclude public officials:
Any person entering this private property must hold contract with owner and/or tenant which grants ingress with indemnity.
THEIR AGENTS, EMPLOYEES or FRANCHISES THERE OF:
This puts you on NOTICE that the owner and/or tenant of this property requires that all Public/Corporate Officials, their Agents, Employees, or Franchises thereof abide by provisions of the Supreme Law of the Land: The Constitution for the united states of America.
Trespasser - One who intentionally and without consent enters another's property.
Criminal Trespass - Entering or remaining upon or in any land, structure, or transportation device when such premises or property are posted in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders.
Acts done under color of any law carry the same restrictions as any other criminal trespass . USC Title 42, Sec. 1983
BE WARNED!! USC Title 18, Sec. 3109 STRICTLY ENFORCED!! (The owner of this property may use force to remove those who trespass!!!)
The penalty for Trespass is a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than ten years, or both. USC Title 18, Sec. 241 & 242.
Signature _______________________________________
The two articles have very different tones. One sounds very detached, passing on factual info, and is shorter. The other is more heart felt, compelling, and convincing. Hard to compare them!
We are farmers, raising both crops and livestock, have state land on our south boundary, and a historical site just down the road.
We don't have a single 'No Trespassing' sign, we don't need one. Most people have the common sense, and common courtesy, to be respectful of our property. We have a handful of new people drive in each year as deer season approaches, asking to hunt, or to cross our property to hunt in the state land. People visit our gravel pit to search of agates, and park on the side of the road to admire the foals when they arrive.
I think one of the reasons we don't have problems, is because people know (generally) that there is a difference between private property and public property. Also, they are greeted by dogs, or by us, when they do drive in, or visit our gravel pit. Neighbors watch out for eachother, and know if a vehicle is a local person, or an unknown traveler.
I don't want our livestock's health jeapordized by someone deciding to feed them whatever they are carrying while out walking. It could be dangerous for a hiker to decide to cut through our cattle pasture while we have the bull here for breeding. The pastures are partially wooded, and are several acres in size; a person entering a gate on one end would not know there is a herd inside.
A person trespassing can be risking their own health and safety, and also the health and safety of the property owners and livestock living there. It doesn't take much time or effort to meet your neighbors, or the owners on the route you'd like to walk. Plan ahead a bit, and take the time to ask permission. Even when the owners say No, they will respect and appreciate your asking.
In NH, you only have to post against pedestrian use... all other uses, including walking my dog on your property, require landowner permission. Motorized users are required to carry written landowner permission unless the property is part of the public trail system administered by the Bureau of Trails, and covered under a special $2 million dollar landowner liability policy that covers the landowner against lawsuits involving motorized use.
From the NH Fish and Game website...
4. Private, County and Municipal lands: 80% of New Hampshire's forestland is privately owned. Generally speaking, most private lands -- especially larger tracts -- remain open to hunters across New Hampshire, unless otherwise posted against hunting. New Hampshire Fish and Game highly recommends that each hunter personally contact landowners whenever possible and seek permission to hunt. Frequently, even land posted to hunting can be accessed by contacting the owner prior to hunting. Please respect all landowners wishing to keep their lands posted. Many landowners have sought reduced tax burdens by placing their land under current land use tax assessment. One category of current use tax reduction requires the landowner to keep his land open to public use, including hunting, in order to get an additional 20% tax reduction. This is a real incentive to keep private land open to hunting. Check with town officials for Current Use tax land.
The first thing we did when we bought our property is to locate the stakes. All had been covered with dirt so it was no big deal, but we were prepared to drive them into the ground with a hammer if exposed. From what I can tell, this is what is done. Rather than remove the stake, just drive it into the ground. If anyone wants to locate a property line, this is what metal detectors are for.
Boy this article irked me to no end! Of course the author doesn't mind trespassers, he's only got three acres! Nobody's got use for that!
It cost me over $6000/yr. just in taxes to be able to keep my 108 acres. That's not counting the endless time, hard labor, and money to keep it healthy! We do without a lot for this privledge!
People around here buy a little place on half an acre and have four wheelers, snowmobiles, and a couple horses tied behind the garage and expect me and the other landowners to finance their play ground?
Maybe the author wouldn't be able to afford to drink so much and actually have to work full time if he had what he really wanted but to get drunk and destroy other peoples property in the name of beauty is so WRONG!
Reminds me of the story about the big, young lawyer who shot a deer and trespassed to get it. The aging landowner didn't appreciate it and the lawyer started with his rhetoric. The old timer insisted they handle it with a local tradition; they exchange their best three shots on each other and the winner wins. The young lawyer (built like a brickhouse from spending more time in a gym than a courtroom) looked down on the frail old man and agreed. The old man says "I'll go first" and lets go with a hard kick between the lawyers legs. The lawyer bends over in pain and the old man comes up with a hard knee into the mans face, standing him back up. The old guy quickly follows that with a right hook to an already broken nose and drives the guy over onto his back. The lawyer slowly gets up and pulls himself together, looks down at the old man with a wry smile on his face and says, "Now it's my turn." The old man says, "Naw, I quit, go get your deer."

And for Raven who is hyjacking this post for her own concerns, I'm very sorry for your loss but it WAS just a dog and freak things happen. Get over it already.
In my defense- story time:
I recall the time I jumped in my truck and drove out back to move the pastured turkey pens. It was only two weeks to Thanksgiving. I crested the small knoll and I'll never forgot what I saw, a mix of fully grown, beautiful white turkeys covered with bright crimson blood scattered over the landscape. Two dogs had "dug" holes through the brand new chickenwire cages and chewed freely on fifty of our turkeys. I'm glad I was in the truck as one of the dogs looked at me with blood and feathers hanging from his jowls and growled a very primordal growl. I put 'er in reverse and retrieved my 22 magnum. When I returned to the site, one dog was chasing bloody turkeys around the field and ran off as I later learned I buried one in his hip. The other was still in a cage and was an easy mark. His feet were shredded from digging through the cage.
Another required trip to the barn to fetch a hatchet to finish off the ninteen turkeys which were gashed, maimed, crippled or otherwise raped. There was sweat and tears and screams as each head came off.
Word got out and a lady shows up in the driveway. As an empathetic lover of animals, tears run down my face as I fend off her blows and insults. I apologize for having to kill her dog. I'm later mad at myself for apologizing after rerunning what had happened and how I still had to call fifty customers and tell them they couldn't have the turkey they so much look forward to every year.
With all my emotional, time, and financial cost, I let her think I was the bad guy. Now THAT, I'm sorry for.
I won't bore you with the bitter winter when a "bug" got in the barn and took twenty calves and three of my draft horses. Then there was the three legged baby goat, the chicken named Lucky, and the time the horses ran off with the hay mower, blade down. Or even now as my wife waits for scheduling at the hospital and my daughter........
Guess what? Life is going on. GET OVER IT or do like the hiker, have a few cocktails and go wander around aimlessly pulling property stakes.

According to aggieyell.com Texas A&M has been accepted into the SEC.

@MikeTaylor760 Mike Taylor IT'S DONE! Jeff Tarpley from aggieyell.com reports: Texas A&M IS going to the SEC. Future of football in Texas unknown. Wow. @MikeTaylor760 Mike Taylor Source: Big 12 has contacted another Texas school about joining up. It's not Frogs as they're headed to Big East. SMU? Houston? Rice or Houston would be my guesses.
Wow, didn't expect it to happen that quickly.

If so. The BOR meets on Aug 22 to approve the System budget. Something will be on the agenda posted on Aug 19. They hope to have this complete/announced formally by Sept. 1.

If this is true then wow never expected that to happen I figured the Aggies were just blowing smoke up everyone's ***** for leverage.
If true, good riddance. Hope you like getting your *** kicked on a regular basis in the SEC.
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
At this point, I think I'm glad to be rid of them. True, Texas still controls the conference, but Aggie just looks stupid and petty. If OU stays, we stay viable and can start picking up new members.
Look for Oklahoma to also make a move. I have thought all along that Texas views itself as an independent. I could see them going out on their own.

I agree with those that say picking up another Texas school is pointless. Why don't we just stay at 9? Honestly it's not that big of a deal.

I hate to say it but I am with you. I think this is just the beginning of the collapse. OU, OSU and maybe TT to the Pac 10, SEC may pick up Missouri if others start to bail.
From the guy who runs Texags.com: @billyliucci Billy Liucci Ags to SEC not done but is VERY likely to happen. Anyone who says otherwise is woefully misinformed.
Couldn't they have least waited for the first tier rights to come around for negotiation? I wonder if the reason they will add another Texas school just to have another Texas school in the conference to replace the one that left.

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 - Philadelphia, Pa.
Jordan Oncay got the ball rolling for the Wilmington University baseball team in the first inning and slammed the door shut in the eighth and ninth innings to power the Wildcats past Philadelphia, 9-3, securing second place and a first round bye in the upcoming Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament.
With the win, the Wildcats (29-16, 14-6 CACC) remain one game ahead of Bloomfield in the standings and in second place. The top two teams (Felician) receive first round byes in the six-team CACC Tournament which begins May 8 for the four lower seeds. The double elimination portion of the tournament begins May 10 with two games at Wilson Field. The final two days move over to Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks.
Justin DeLong continued his strong end of the year push, as he tossed 7.2 strong innings at Philadelphia, giving up three runs (one earned) with nine strikeouts. He picked up his team leading seventh win on the season. DeLong is now 7-2 on the season, tied with three others for the most wins in the CACC.
Oncay bookended the game with his bat and then with his arm, making sure the Wildcats came away with the number two seed. To lead off the game, Oncay smacked a one-out double to center field, scoring both BJ Janney (leadoff single) and Joe Harbach (hit by pitch), setting the tone for the contest. Frank Samluk made it 3-0 in the top of the first with another double to center field, allowing Oncay to trot home easily.
DeLong got out of the first after a leadoff error, but still only faced the minimum as he picked off the runner at second to end the inning. He then shut the Rams (11-33, 5-13 CACC) down in order in the second to bring the bats back to the plate.
With two outs and Mike Godwin on second after a walk and a balk, Samluk came through again as he singled back up the middle for his second RBI of the day.
The Rams got to DeLong in the fifth however, scoring two runs after retiring the first two batters of the inning. Philadelphia capitalized on two Wilmington errors in the inning to cut the lead in half, 4-2, after five complete.
But the Wildcats retaliated and took all the momentum back in the ball game with a three run sixth inning. The inning started with a Jonathan Rodriguez double down the left field line and an RBI single by Janney for the first run. Now on third, Janney scored on a passed ball to make it 6-2 before Godwin came around to score on an RBI fielder's choice by Samluk with the bases loaded.
DeLong pitched into the eighth inning, but ran into trouble as his pitch count rose above 100. After getting two outs in the first three batters, DeLong gave up a single through the right side to put two runners on. The Rams' Jordan Force took a 3-1 pitch down the left field line for a double, scoring Kyle DeGennaro for the innings only run.
Two batters later with the bases loaded, Oncay came on got the final out of the inning retiring TJ Burgmann on the first pitch. After the Wildcats added two more insurance runs in the top of the ninth, Oncay shut down the Rams in order, recording two strikeouts in the bottom half to close out the regular season and the number two seed. Oncay earned his league leading ninth save after getting out of the eighth inning jam.
Janney led all hitters by going 4-for-6 with one of the Wildcats' five doubles on the afternoon. He added two RBI's and two runs scored, moving his average back to .400 on the year. Harbach batted 1-for-4 to end the regular season with a team leading .404 average, also tops in the CACC. Samluk and Adam Soley also picked up two hits apiece for the Wildcats while Samluk led all hitters with three RBI's.
Wilmington, also last season's number two seed before going on and winning the CACC Tournament and the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament, will begin its title defense on Thursday, May 10. A time and an opponent is yet to be determined.

I feel a lot better. I have all that energy back. I'm myself again.
Megan Rowe
Tameka was starting her senior year of high school and considering a career in medicine. But she was losing a lot of weight and felt cold and tired all the time. Doctors made an alarming discovery: Her heart was beating way too fast due to a rare condition called restrictive cardiomyopathy, which was causing other problems. Medication didn't help. She would need a heart transplant.
While Tameka waited for her new heart, a Children's Hospital teacher helped her keep up with schoolwork. Just before Christmas, Tameka got her new heart. She immediately felt better, and a few weeks later she left the hospital. She's now in college and hopes to become a nurse practitioner.
I think the Battle Building is going to make it such a more streamlined process for us as families.

Laura Robinson is beyond excited for the opening of the Battle Building at UVA Children's Hospital opens in June.
As a mother whose son has multiple medical needs, she knows just how important coordinated care can be.
Laura is looking forward, not only to a new building, but also to the convenience of seeing multiple specialists in a single day.
Her 9-year-old son, David, has Down syndrome and is a Wilms' Tumor cancer survivor, who needs to be seen by oncologists, developmental pediatricians and physical therapists.
It made a huge difference. They really cared, not just about the medical outcome but how we were all doing.
Sam DeBoer came into the world 14 weeks early, weighing just one pound two ounces. His lungs weren't fully developed, he had to be fed through a tube and he couldn't maintain his body temperature.
Sam's parents, Laura and Chris, felt helpless as they watched the neonatal ICU (NICU) team care for their tiny son. But Laura was able to give her son one thing: Breast milk. She pumped every 2-3 hours in the NICU's nearby lactation room, and Sam's nurses put the milk in his feeding tube.
After 94 days, Sam went home. Today he's a healthy 3-year-old who loves playing with toy trucks and tractors.

Q: I have always been active and worked out a lot but I am fairly new to the world of competitive sports and adventure races. Although I am not trying to excel at these events, the additional training has been taking it's toll on my energy levels. Are there any vitamins I should take to help?
A: Vitamins do not provide energy directly but they do assist in turning food into energy. Increasing vitamins may not improve your performance but a deficiency will certainly hinder it.
A few if the core nutrients and the Dietary Reference Intakes are:
The most important rule to remember is that the old adage of "if a little is good, more bust be better" does not hold true with vitamins and minerals. Stay hydrated, eat well and good luck!

18. Look lovingly at some object. Do not go to another object. Here in the middle of the object - the blessing.
19. Without support for feet or hands, sit only on the buttocks. Suddenly, the centering.
20. In a moving vehicle, by rhythmically swaying, experience. Or in a still vehicle, by letting yourself swing in slowing invisible circles.
21. Pierce some part of your nectar-filled form with a pin, and gently enter the piercing and attain to the inner purity.
The human body is a mysterious mechanism. Its working is two-dimensional. In order to go to the outside, your consciousness goes through the senses to meet the world, to meet matter. But this is only one dimension of your body's functions. Your body has another dimension also: it leads you in. If consciousness goes out, then whatsoever you know is matter; if consciousness goes in, then whatsoever you know is non-matter.
In reality, there is no division: matter and non-matter are one. But this reality -x- if looked at through the eyes, the senses, appears as matter. This same reality, the x looked at from within - not through the senses, but through centering - looks like non-matter. The reality is one, but you can look at it in two ways. One is through the senses; another is not through the senses. All these techniques of centering are really to lead you to a point in yourself where senses are not working, where you go beyond senses.
Three things have to be understood first before we enter the techniques. Firstly, when you see through the eyes, the eyes are not seeing: they are only openings to see. The seer is behind the eyes. That which looks through the eyes is not the eyes. That is why you can close your eyes and still see dreams, visions, images. The seer is behind the senses; he moves through the senses to the world. But if you close your senses, the seer remains within.
If the seer, this consciousness, is centered, suddenly he becomes aware of himself. And when you are aware of yourself you are aware of the total existence, because you and existence are not two. But to become aware of oneself one needs centering. By centering I mean your consciousness not being divided in many directions, your consciousness not moving anywhere, remaining in itself. non-moving, rooted, without any direction, just remaining there: in.
It looks difficult to remain in, because for our minds even this thinking of how to remain in becomes a going out. We start thinking: the "how" starts thinking. To think about the in, the inner, is also a thought for us - and every thought as such belongs to the outer, never to the inner, because in the innermost center you are simply consciousness.

How to choose a noise suppressor
Dealing with system noise
The Crutchfield writing team is a group of full-time, in-house copywriters who share a passion for consumer electronics. In addition to creating the articles and videos you find in the Research area of the Crutchfield website, these hard-working and talented people write the informational copy for the products on our website and in the Crutchfield catalog. Our writers constantly research the latest products, technologies, and industry trends, so that we can bring you the most helpful information possible.
More from Crutchfield Writing Team
- The type of noise suppressor you need depends on what is causing the noise in your system. Obviously, the trick is to determine what the source of the noise is. The information below may be helpful in finding the culprit.
- Read over this article for some hints and explanations of what can cause noise in your system. Then use this diagnostic flowchart as a guide to walk you through the troubleshooting process.
- Most products purchased from Crutchfield qualify for our expert tech support. If you purchased your gear from Crutchfield, or purchased tech support separately, don't hesitate to call on our tech support staff (have your Crutchfield invoice handy).
Dealing with noise
Noise can be introduced into your system from a number of sources. This is especially true if you have an amplifier. The type of noise you're hearing can help determine the cause.
If you have an external amplifier in your system, the first thing to do is to quiet any system noise, which sounds like a constant, low hiss. First, check for system noise with the engine off. Insert a blank tape or put your CD player on pause. Listen to the system with the volume completely down, then completely up. Put on music. If you hear hiss in either instance, adjust the gain on your amplifier.
Pass more signal from the receiver to the amp by leaving the receiver's volume higher before you set the amp's gain. Experiment until you eliminate the hiss or reduce it as much as possible. A tiny bit of hiss is OK — you won't hear it while driving.
Engine noise
If your problem is related to engine noise, you may hear a whining or clicking sound. Its pitch will vary with engine speed. Most noise problems come from a poor ground. Always make sure your ground wire is connected firmly to bare metal in the event of a noise problem.
You can also try isolating your amp from the chassis of your vehicle by mounting it on a board or using rubber grommets or feet; using a different brand of patch cables; or, only if all else fails, installing a noise suppressor. The tricky part is figuring out which step or steps to take. Please read the rest of this section and try some of the simple tests.
Noise in the patch cables
Noise can be picked up by the RCA patch cables connecting your components. To test this, detach the cables from your amp. Insert one side (left or right) of a spare patch cable into the amp's left and right input jacks (see illustration below). Turn on your system and engine.
If the noise is gone, reconnect the cables to the amp, and disconnect them from your receiver. If you hear the noise, your patch cables are definitely picking it up. Try re-routing them. Separate them from your power cable by at least 18 inches. You could try a better brand of patch cables. The inexpensive RCA cables many people use to connect their components don't have the insulation or conductivity necessary to deflect noise in a metallic, highly conductive automobile.
How much noise your cable receives depends largely on the size of its loop area; the larger the loop area, the more vulnerable your cable is to induced interference. A cable's loop area is equal to the distance between its center conductor and outer shield times the length of one complete twist in a twisted pair configuration, or the entire length of the cable in a coaxial type. Consider trading your old cable for one with a twisted pair design. You'll get a smaller loop area and less noise.
Noise picked up by antenna/power cable
If it's not in the patch cables, the noise may be coming in through your antenna. Plug all your patch cables back in and unplug your antenna. If the noise goes away, try an antenna noise suppressor. This filter plugs in-line between your receiver and your antenna, breaking the ground path between them. If you still have noise after unplugging the antenna, it may be coming in through the amp's main power cable. Try thicker cable.
Radiated noise
If it's not the antenna, try pulling the receiver from the dash while a tape or CD is playing. If the noise goes away, it's being radiated into your system. Try using magnetic shielding foil (also called Mu-metal) to shield the back of the receiver or wrap the wire or component (such as a digital clock) that's radiating the noise into your system.
Noise in speaker wiring
Noise can also come in through the speaker wires. To test them, turn the system off and disconnect the speaker wires from the amps. Now start the car. If the noise is still there, then it's being radiated into the speaker wires. Reposition them, or, as a last resort, shield them by wrapping them with Mu-metal foil.
Noise from electrical system
If you've tried all of the noise-fighting tips above and you still hear the noise, the problem might be with your vehicle. You might simply need to fill your battery with fluid. If that doesn't help, have a mechanic check your alternator and battery.
If your car is older and hasn't been tuned up recently, you may have ignition noise. It's a ticking noise that varies in speed as you accelerate. You may need a tune-up involving resistor-type spark plugs, shielded carbon-core spark plug wires, distributor cap, and coil.
If the noise doesn't disappear, then your ignition system may not be grounded well enough and is broadcasting ticks to other items such as your air cleaner, hood, exhaust system, etc. Chances are, grounding one of the under-hood components will eliminate the noise.
A very effective fix for electrical system noise is called "The Big Three" upgrade. This is where your vehicle's battery charging wire and chassis ground wires are augmented by adding large gauge wires (1/0- or 4-ga.) to those connecting the alternator to the battery's positive pole, the battery's negative pole to the chassis, and the chassis to the engine block. This establishes better current flow and more consistant voltage, which improves your system's signal to noise ratio. It also ensures against loose or restrictive ground connections, which, as said before, are common sources of noise.
Our tech support department is ready, 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, to help you sniff out the noisy component in your system (please have your Crutchfield invoice handy when you call).

Some people feel a house is not a home without a basketball hoop in their driveway. Manufacturers have made it easier than ever to find the type of setup that fits your space and playing style. The type of backboard system you buy depends on whether you're up for a serious game of basketball or you're just looking to shoot around, and it also depends on who will be playing on the basketball system.
3 Types of Basketball Systems
There are basically three types of basketball systems you can purchase, portable systems, in-ground pole systems, and combination systems.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. Alopecia areata causes the immune system to produce antibodies that attack the body's healthy hair follicles. Hair loss may be acute, or it may recur.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause of alopecia areata is unknown. It is likely due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It most typically affects patches of the scalp. Variations of alopecia areata can cause hair loss on the entire scalp, in men's beards, or over the entire body.
Alopecia areata is more common in people under 30 years old. Other factors that may increase your chance of alopecia areata include:
Alopecia areata causes sudden, patchy hair loss. Hair loss occurs mainly on the scalp or in the beard.
Your will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. In most cases, the doctor will be able to make the diagnosis based on the exam. There are tests that can confirm alopecia areata or rule out other causes of your hair loss.
Your bodily fluids, hair, and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Your scalp may need to be viewed. This can be done with dermoscopy.
Treatment may include a waiting period. During this time, you and your doctor will evaluate your hair loss for progression or remission. Spontaneous remission occurs in nearly half of cases.
If your hair loss progresses, talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Medications to treat alepecia areata may vary depending on your age and include:
Surgical procedures may be an option if medications do not work. Some of these include:
Other ways to treat alopecia areata include:
There are no current guidelines to prevent alopecia areata since the cause is not known.

Heavyweights set to collide at Dodger Stadium
Richards, Greinke face off, as two of baseball's best teams meet
The Freeway Series could turn into much more come October.
When the Dodgers host the Angels on Monday night, Dodger Stadium will showcase two of baseball's three best teams and a potential World Series preview.
The Angels, who boast MLB's second-best record, will send Garrett Richards to the mound, who will try to halt his recent skid.
In his last two starts, Richards is 0-2 with a 5.54 ERA in losses to Detroit and Baltimore. Richards had dazzled in his previous nine starts, posting a 7-0 record and 1.25 ERA as the Angels won eight of those nine games.
The eight combined runs allowed over Richards' last two starts are his most in back-to-back outings since late May. His four strikeouts on Wednesday were his fewest since June 9, and the home run he allowed to Adam Jones was just the fifth dinger Richards has permitted all season.
In four career appearances against the Dodgers, Richards has a 2.63 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings. He last started against the Dodgers in 2012.
The National League-leading Dodgers, meanwhile, will send former Angel Zack Greinke to the hill.
Greinke made 13 starts as an Angel in 2012, after a midseason trade brought him over from Milwaukee. Since signing with the Dodgers in the winter of '12, Greinke has been superb, going 27-10 with a 2.63 ERA.
More recently, though, Greinke has been nearly untouchable. In his last two starts, both Dodger wins, the 30-year-old right-hander has pitched a combined 15 innings of one-run ball. He has a 23-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 0.733 WHIP over those games, as opponents batted just .167 against him.
By striking out 10 and 13 in his last two outings, Greinke notched consecutive double-digit-strikeout starts for the first time since 2011.
"I felt really good," Greinke said of his last start, a no-decision against the Braves. "All the pitches were working. Location was pretty good, and [I] had what felt like a good game plan."
Angels: Halos without a lefty reliever
The Angels placed Joe Thatcher on the disabled list on Sunday, after the left-handed specialist sprained his left ankle fielding a ball on Saturday.
The club also optioned left-hander Michael Roth, after he threw 4 2/3 innings in relief on Saturday.
To replace the pair of southpaws, the Angels recalled righties Cam Bedrosian and Fernando Salas.
It will be the third Major League stint of the season for Bedrosian, whose 11.57 ERA is inflated after a few rough outings. Salas was optioned last Saturday and will return quicker than expected after Thatcher's injury.
The Halos do not have an off-day until Aug. 11, and their eight-man bullpen will likely provide depth until then.
"We've got a lot of guys out there," manager Mike Scioscia said. "If we get the deep start from a starter, that's one thing. If we don't, we're gonna have to bridge the gap somehow. We should have enough, not only depth in length, but depth in numbers there, down there, to be able to hopefully work around it."
Dodgers: Gordon gets a breather
Second baseman Dee Gordon takes the term "everyday player" to heart. He's not going to ask for an off-day. Manager Don Mattingly doesn't expect him to.
But Gordon got Sunday off, regardless, and should return refreshed on Monday.
"It wasn't really planned," Mattingly said. "I was kind of trying to wait for a lefty. Different coaches were coming to me like, 'It looks like Dee needs a day.' Just, I think, leg-wise and things like that."
Gordon has played in 105 of 111 games this season, and he hasn't had a day off since June 8 in Colorado. A .295 hitter with a Major League-leading 51 stolen bases and 10 triples, Gordon's offensive production hasn't suffered. In fact, he entered Sunday on a modest five-game hitting streak, hitting safely in 11 of his last 13 games with a .328 average over that span.
But Mattingly didn't want to take any chances.
"I don't trust Dee yet," Mattingly said. "I think Dee's at the point where he wants to play every day, and he's kind of probably a little bit nervous about saying he needs a day. We understand that. I think that's where coaches are important, the guys who are dealing with him every day, seeing him every day. Maybe he has a little more confidence in saying that one little word that tells you, 'Yeah, I need a day.'
"We'll be careful with him. We'll see where is. He's pretty young. I think he'll keep up the pace."
Worth noting
• Collin Cowgill, on the disabled list with a broken nose and thumb, could be activated prior to Monday's game.
• The Angels are 12-7 in their last 19 games at Dodger Stadium and 51-31 against the Dodgers under Scioscia.
• Catcher A.J. Ellis was out of the lineup for the second straight game on Sunday, after taking a foul ball off of his right knee twice. Mattingly said that he expected Ellis to be ready to play on Monday.

This unnamed daimyō bet on Sasuke Uchiha during the Chūnin Exams.
Part I
Chūnin Exams Arc
To ensure he would win, he sent two Kusagakure shinobi, Midori and Shiba, to keep Gaara, Sasuke's opponent, from competing at all. This attempt, however, ended in failure, as both bodyguards were brutally murdered by Gaara for offending him.
- It is unknown what country he rules over, but fans generally assume he rules the country Kusagakure is located in, due to his bodyguards originating from there.

Known as a Baroque city, the beautiful city of Vilnius can be reached easily from Helsinki by air in less than two hours. Featured in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the pastel-coloured buildings of the Old Town look like dollhouses, and the atmospheric cellar restaurants have a historical atmosphere. The mediaeval Gediminas Tower is well worth a visit, not least because the walk up to the hill is rewarded by sweeping views over the city.
The Užupis neighbourhood is popular among artists, and the district declared itself an independent republic in 1997. Filled with quaint cafes and galleries, Užupis is home to St. Anne's, one of the most beautiful churches in Lithuania, and the world's only monument to Frank Zappa. The Museum of Genocide Victims, which is located in former KGB headquarters, is a testament to the darker history of the city. If you have the time, why not spend a day or two outside the city as the Trakai Castle and the Palanga beach are only a short bus ride away.
The airport is located 7 km south of Vilnius.

Midwest Living Review
Enter a cozy dining room, with partially painted wood-plank floors, occasional decorative stained glass panels and antique-looking black-and-white prints. On steamy summer evenings ceiling fans wick away the heat and lengthen wax drippings on each tabletop candle. Service was generally good, although our server did not know the size of our wine pours. We didn't recognize any of the 12 wines, by name, individual glasses were priced from $8. But each dish on the limited menu was well executed. Kale Green Salad ($9, small for $3) featured tender asparagus and poached egg, plus large Parmesan slivers. The Vineyards Classic Salad (side - $4; entrée for $7) featured red onion, with pepper, and artichoke slivers, and honey balsamic vinaigrette. Center Cut Beef Tenderloin ($29) was cooked to perfection, and basil blue cheese compound butter made each bite seductively delicious. Asparagus topped garlic mashed potatoes, which bathed in a red wine reduction. Sweet-savory Cedar Plank Smoked Salmon ($28) arrived fork-tender and moist, with puffy, bacon-flavored hominy succotash. Carrot cake ($6) made the grade, while Chocolate Flourless Torte ($6) offered deep, dark chocolate decadence and just the right amount of sweetness. The Vineyards offers a delicious, though pricey, dinner experience.

Seems like a bit of effort for not much gain, especially with the humps. What on earth was the mong in the blue car doing? Nice to see you waiting for the green light too - it's rare to see that in Perth CBD!

Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
West bound is not so good due to the PSP being closed under the freeway - the road is one way (eastbound) and the paving on the southside almost non-existant (about 300mm) in places with no on/off ramps. Stop handing them the stick! - Dave Moulton
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeI have been using the car park ever since "fixed" alerted us to the possibility - seems to work ok, a bit tricky in the evening when there are events.... I hope the path on the North side becomes the final option, but currently there are all kinds of vehicles using that stretch, and I do not quite see how it will fit in at the Eastern end.

Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
And a different twist to the above, if you don't like passing your bike under/around the boom-gates at either end, see below video: Have you also noticed the red/green lights in the car-park? The led light turns red when a car is parked in the bay. At an additional cost of $54M for the car park, that works out at $180,000 per bay so you expect the finest, but here are a couple of observations: Some traffic light sensors don't work for bikes, but the arena boom gate sensor does (as shown in the image) - shouldn't MainRoads be using the same standard for traffic light sensors to make sure they do work for bikes. Several sections of the PSP are unlit and yet the Arena has fancy lights to locate vacant car bays - why can't the PSP have fancy lights to make it safer Potentially the car park is closed (or at least one entrance/exit), the boom gates/humps removed and cyclists use this until the PSP is re-installed. Have a look at the video, there is only a handful of cars using the car park for non-events at the moment, compared to the 1,200 cyclists per day and the section running on the northern end of the railway line carries 700 cyclists per day ** figures taken from MRA's Master Plan We still live in a car priority CBD in Perth.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
I can't tell from the video - are the sensors in the car park the same as those used on the roads? All traffic light sensors should work for bikes. If you have issues with specific sensors then report them to MRWA. With any infrastructure network there will be bugs and/or legacy issues that take time and money to fix.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeAny response yet from CoP/MRWA why there are no cycle lanes?
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeThis morning there was a fellow with a clipboard sitting by the ramp down into the carpark who called out and flagged me down as I approached. At first I thought he was doing some kind of cycling commuting survey when he asked where I was from, then realised that he was doing site sign ins/sign outs. When I told him I was just taking a shortcut he said (politely) that I couldn't ride through there.
I didn't want to make a scene so I just told him "sure, no dramas" and backtracked then went around via the detour. Perhaps if there's work in progress, and no events on, they don't like random members of the public wandering through the work site? Fair enough I guess. But I do wish they'd complete the northern side and restore the PSP. In the meantime, the City West section is now closed off with a short detour while some chicanes are installed. Hopefully that will slow a few of the idiots, including myself, down.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeJust when I'd added the carpark to openstreetmap.
I'll have to look up the tag for boomgates and men with clipboards now.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeOn the topic of bicycles and Perth Arena, perthcyclist has a look at bike parking at the Arena.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
Well, I'm still travelling eastbound through the carpark every day. Westbound I've reverted to Wellington as both the south side "foot path" and the PSP are closed. Stop handing them the stick! - Dave Moulton
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
The fencing has moved by 90deg last week: I'm hopeful that they have finished installing the tiles on this section of The Arena, and finally they can open up this section of the shared path - just need to install around 10m of PSP to connect it to the road. Save me cycling through the car park each morning. MainRoads is also reporting: PSP Market St re-opens 25-Apr-2013 PSP Arena West - opens 26-Apr-2013 So with the Northern section (photo above) and the PSP Arena West due to be completed soon, we will be spoilt for choice, though I haven't seen a single spade in the ground for the PSP Arena West section yet (still got 19 days to go).
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
.... and hopefully in the next couple of years???? we will get a path on the Northern side of the railway in that area (Thomas to Milligan), which should remove some of the traffic from around the City West PSP and the Arena. Support high quality cycling advocacy!

Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
There has been some work going on along Roe/Railway Street. They have laid brown bitumen on the West side of Sutherland Street (on the South side of Railway St) and blocked off the turning lane on Roe St with a kerb. All indications are that this is for the Thomas to Milligan connection. See the line in blue: When is the old footbridge at Milligan being removed? That is blocking the Roe Street path connection, so they may be timing it for when that gets cleared.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeFrom MRA earlier this week
Thanks for passing on your observations. Interesting. Wonder why that don't put out public announcements on these things as they do for other works (eg above paste).
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeThe view from Roe St West towards the Sutherland St underpass. The new bitumen can be seen on the other side of the lights.
P.S. I passed hundreds of stationary cars here this morning Sutherland & Roe St's were a carpark. Why oh why do these people waste their time and money
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge

Re: Arena/PEC rail bridge
Good news as when I went through around 7:00am on Friday, a small cherry picker was out again. Captured this image on Thursday night: I ride home this way 99% of the times I don't recall seeing it lit up before, which lead to me thinking, where are the fire exits to The Arena? Could they be located on the shared path section which has been blocked and we have been patiently been waiting to be opened since The Arena opened up around 6 months ago? Scary thought, hope this is not the case.
Re: Arena/PEC rail bridgeThe work on the Arena PSP seems to have started. Main Roads' contractors have closed the nearside Freeway off slip lane and are working at the Wellington Street end.
