At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose the cause of acute hepatitis; as part of a viral hepatitis panel to identify the type of hepatitis virus causing an infection; sometimes to evaluate the need for the hepatitis A vaccine
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of an acute hepatitis infection, such as jaundice, or when you may have been exposed to hepatitis A virus (HAV)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is one of several various causes of hepatitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and enlargement of the liver. This test detects antibodies in the blood that are produced by the immune system in response to a hepatitis A infection.
Hepatitis A is one of five "hepatitis viruses" identified so far, including B, C, D, and E, that are known to cause the disease. While hepatitis A can cause a severe, acute disease that typically lasts 1 to 2 months, it does not cause a chronic infection as do some of the other hepatitis viruses.
Hepatitis A is spread, most commonly, from person-to person through stool (fecal) contamination or by ingesting food or water contaminated by the stool of an infected person (a foodborne illness). Recognized risk factors for hepatitis A include close contact with an infected person, international travel, household or personal contact with a child who attends a child care center, household or personal contact with a newly arriving international adoptee, a recognized foodborne outbreak, men who have sex with men, and use of illegal drugs.
Although there are many causes of hepatitis, the symptoms remain the same. In hepatitis, the liver is damaged and unable to function normally. It cannot process toxins or waste products such as bilirubin for their removal from the body. During the course of the disease, bilirubin and liver enzyme levels in the blood can increase. While tests such as bilirubin or a liver panel can tell a health practitioner that someone has hepatitis, they do not identify the cause. Antibody tests for hepatitis viruses may help determine the cause.
There are two different classes of hepatitis A antibody that may be tested, IgM and IgG. When a person is exposed to hepatitis A, the body first produces hepatitis A IgM antibodies. These antibodies typically develop 2 to 3 weeks after first being infected (and are detectable before the onset of symptoms) and persist for about 3 to 6 months. Hepatitis A IgG antibodies are produced within 1 to 2 weeks of the IgM antibodies and usually persist for life.
- Because hepatitis A IgM antibodies develop early in the course of infection, a positive hepatitis A IgM test is usually considered diagnostic for a current or recent infection of hepatitis A. This test may be done as part of an acute viral hepatitis panel used to determine which virus is causing symptoms when viral hepatitis is suspected.
- An HAV IgG test may be used to help determine if a person has been infected in the past and has some immunity to the disease.
- A total hepatitis A antibody test detects the presence of both the IgM and IgG antibodies, thus can identify current and past infections.
A vaccine that prevents hepatitis A has been available since 1995. Historically, infection rates varied cyclically, with nationwide increases every 10-15 years. However, rates have declined in general since the vaccine was introduced. In 2010, the number of acute hepatitis A cases reported nationwide declined by approximately 53% from about 3,600 in 2006.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

28 June – 21 September 2014
Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)
Opening Hours
Daily: 10.00am – 5.00pm
The 'Harvest' exhibition is a celebration of food in art. With over 150 works from the Gallery's Collection, 'Harvest' includes magnificent still lifes from the seventeenth century to today, contemporary photography, bold video works, and dramatic large-scale installations, with major new acquisitions of works by Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno.
Northern European still-life paintings of the seventeenth century evoked colonial prosperity through depicting food, flowers and spices from Africa, Asia and the Americas. Contemporary artists continue to explore the global trade in food. 'Harvest' will consider how globalisation makes available emblematic regional specialities from around the world. Beyond the stories of what the colonial period brought to Europe, this exhibition will also touch on food moving from north to south, and the impact that this has had on food production in communities, as well as the alternative modes of production often developed from local knowledges. The labour involved in the production and distribution of what we eat is another important area of consideration for contemporary artists - from rice farmer to gleaner, and factory worker to the housewife. A discussion of labour also counterpoints the question of the status derived from food; the exhibition will explore the role of food as a symbol of prestige – whether through exclusivity or sheer excess.
Harvest: Food on Film
28 June – 21 September 2014
Australian Cinémathèque, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA)
Free admission
'Harvest: Food on Film' showcases a rich vein of contemporary filmmaking that explores food production, consumption and presentation as vivid storytelling motifs. Feature films and documentaries that take food as their subject variously touch on narratives of connection; identity and tradition; power and status; and our deepening awareness of the larger political and ethical framework that surround our agricultural systems and the impact of our food choices. The presence of food on the cinema screen often expresses forms of spoken and unspoken communication between characters. It can convey identity with a dish that evokes yearning of home; transgression through food deprivation or straying into forbidden consumption; or power and status in the display of excess. The recent rise of documentary stories has enabled a focus on the personalities behind food creation as well as the ethical and environmental considerations of farming systems and food politics.
Places to Eat
Inspired by 'Harvest' enjoy a range of menu options from the GOMA Restaurant, GOMA Cafe Bistro and during GOMA Talks. Read more
The exhibition and curated film program will be accompanied by a stunning illustrated publication with a divinely illustrated recipe section and culinary masterpieces from some of the biggest names in the Australian restaurant industry. Available in-store and online.
GOMA Talks
6.30pm Thursdays fortnightly | 3, 17 and 31 July 2014
During 'Harvest', the evening discussion program GOMA Talks returns for an exploration of food: its production, consumption and symbolism. Join special guest panellists and ABC Radio National hosts as they examine contemporary ideas and issues around the lifeblood that is food. Read more
Guided Tours
Daily 11.00am and 1.00pm
Let our Volunteer Guides share their knowledge and passion for art while taking you on a tour of the exhibition. Tours are free and take approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

BOISE -- Three former dairy workers with Idaho's largest dairy operation have been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty after undercover video shot by an animal rights group showed workers stomping, dragging and beating cows inside a milking barn.
The video was shot using a hidden camera by a member of the animal rights group Mercy for Animals inside Bettencourt Dairies' Dry Creek Dairy in Hansen.
Dairy owner Luis Bettencourt says he's sickened by the video and has fired the workers involved. He's since hired an additional supervisor and installed cameras in his milking barns.
Nathan Runkle with Mercy for Animals says the group hopes Kraft Foods will quit using milk from Bettencourt Dairies.

Author Don Hopkins will lecture on the topic of his photographic history "Robert E. Lee in War and Peace," which he researched in part at the Museum of the Confederacy. The talk will take place from 1pm to 2pm, and Dr. Hopkins will be signing books from 2pm to 4pm.
About the book: Dr. Hopkins, a Mississippi surgeon and lifelong student of the Civil War and Southern history with a recent interest in Robert E. Lee's "from life" photographs, scoured manuscript repositories and private collections across the country to locate every known Lee image (61 in all) in existence today. The detailed text accompanying these images provides a sweeping history of Lee's life and a compelling discussion of antique photography, with biographical sketches of all of Lee's known photographers. The importance of information within the photographer's imprint or backmark is emphasized throughout the book. Hopkins offers a substantial amount of previously unknown information about these images, how each came to be, and the mistakes in fact and attribution other authors and writers have made describing photographs of Lee to the reading public. Many of the images in this book are being published for the first time.

LA GRANGE — Reeling from four straight losses North Lenoir's boys basketball team wanted to start the new year off right.
The Hawks did so with a bang.
Jauquaz Jones scored 22 points and North Lenoir cruised to a 68-37 win over winless South Johnston on Wednesday.
Braxton Davis opened the game with a 3-pointer, the Hawks (7-7, 2-0 Eastern Carolina 3A) scored the first 13 points, opened a 21-6 first-quarter lead and never looked back.
"It being the new year we just wanted to come back and rededicate ourselves to some things," North Lenoir coach Anthony Loftin said.
"We're still in first place, and our ultimate goal is to win the conference.."
Coming into Wednesday's league matchup the Hawks hadn't won since defeating South Lenoir 77-66 on Dec. 14 — the last of a five-game win streak. Since, they've fallen to Farmville Central after the Jaguars rallied late, were defeated soundly by Kinston then dropped two in a Christmas tournament at Wallace-Rose Hill.
With nothing but league games ahead of it on the schedule, North Lenoir knew it had to start 2013 off right and it did.
In addition to Jones' 22 points, four others had seven or more — Devontae Sutton (seven), Davis (eight), Tyree Hough (eight) and Zongio Troy (nine).
The Trojans (0-9, 0-2) were held to 19 total points after three quarters, but nearly matched their total for the game with 18 in the fourth.
They were led by Justin Jeffress' 10 points.
"I thought our defense was active tonight. We got into the passing lanes, got some deflections, and I thought we shot the ball real good," Loftin said.
While the South Johnston boys had trouble its girls did not.
The Trojans got 10 points from Emma Blackman and nine from Alexis Massengill to even their EC3A record at 1-1.
South Johnston held a 10-2 lead after the first quarter and led 18-5 at halftime. Ta'Breia Foster scored eight points for the Hawks (2-12, 0-2) and Amanda Bizzell added six.
North Lenoir is off until it hosts Southern Wayne on Jan. 11.

"We each help each other advertise our sites!""When I saw the ad for Pro Traffic Funnel, I joined in June. Like the way the program is set up. I added Pro Traffic Funnel to the download page of my 6 Dollar site to help my customers advertise. I made simple instructions on how to use PTF. This is what I have told them: "Use your PTF link any where you advertise your 6 Dollar Site. It will build credits for you so your ad will be show when other members advertise their Pro Traffic Funnel links. Please note: This will take time. As Pro Traffic Funnel members advertise their links, the ads will be spread all over the Net." Over the past few weeks my downline in PTF grew and earned commissions.

One of the great features of messenger bags is the convenience of having the contents of the bag handy at your fingertips because the bag rests at the side of your hip. But being able to swing the bag around to your back, wearing it like a bike messenger would, has several advantages as well: worn cross-body, high on your back, a messenger bag is more stable for cycling. And wearing a messenger bag this way can also be a lifesaver for a long commute on foot or a short sprint to the bus. It's also great for keeping your bag from bumping everyone in a crowd. With the Q-AM (Quick-Adjust Messenger) Shoulder Strap, you can wear your TOM BIHN messenger bag slung conveniently low on your hip at one moment, and the next moment, with a quick tug, cinch the strap up snug so the bag rides high on your back.
The Q-AM strap comes with a webbing loop with half of a side-release buckle — we call it a Messenger Stabilizer — attached to the strap, in case you need extra stability.
The Messenger Stabilizer slides to where you want it on the strap and allows you to snap one half of your bag's waist strap to the front of the Q-AM strap, bike-messenger style (we recommend removing the unused half of the waist strap for safety). If you don't intend to wear your bag bike messenger-style, simply slide the loop off the end of the strap and leave it at home. The Messenger Stabilizer is available in 1" for the Large Café messenger bag or 1-1/2" for the ID, Ego, and Super Ego messenger bags — that's why you need to specify with which bag you will be using the Q-AM Strap.
The Q-AM strap is made of 1/2" (12 mm) thick closed-cell EVA foam that extends 20" of the length of the strap and is 2-1/2" wide, which makes the Q-AM strap extremely comfortable; it's wrapped in smooth pack cloth so it slides easily on your shoulder. The Q-AM strap utilizes the same kind of quick-adjust buckle found on most backpack shoulder straps: tighten the strap by pulling down on the loose end of the webbing, and loosen the strap by lifting up on the thumb-tab on the buckle. We sew a loop into the end of the webbing to make the adjustment easier and to prevent the strap from accidentally slipping through the buckle entirely. (The Q-AM strap is not a "quick-release" strap: it's still assumed that you'll be slipping the strap over your head when you wear it cross-body.)
Before you say "hey, I don't ride a bike, so why would I want this strap?," consider that Tom came up with the idea while walking to French class every day.

Every student faces challenges, but for students with autism those challenges can be magnified. Lenoir County Public Schools is making an effort to help those students thrive in the classroom.
Betty Pelleiter, autism program specialist for Lenoir County Public Schools, said there are more than 100 students that have been identified with autism in the school system. There are currently four satellite classrooms, two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school that help the students succeed.
"We also go out and provide services for students that can function in the regular classroom," she said.
Pelleiter said there are two consultants that go out monthly and observe students. Occupational and speech therapists help students in other ways.
"The children may have sensory needs that we may need to address," she said. "The speech and language therapist work with the students on pragmatic language because a lot of students with autism don't know how to interact appropriately. They see everything in black and white."
Pelleiter said students with autism require people to be direct and specific with them.
"You have to tell them exactly what you want," she said. "A lot of things we do, we put on index cards in writing for them to understand. If you put something in writing, it's not going to change."
Pelleiter said the students are also very rule-oriented and most of the classrooms have structured routines and procedures.
"We spend a lot of time getting the teachers and staff to understand that if there is going to be a change in their routine, you need to let them know ahead of time," she said. "The more you can prepare them ahead of time cuts down on anxiety issues."
The school system works to provide help for students as early as age 3 through a pre-K program at Teacher's Memorial School.
Ruby Bryant, exceptional children preschool teacher at Teacher's Memorial Elementary School, said one particular student Andrew Bellamy, 4, has made a lot of progress since he started in the program.
"When he first came into our program, he had a lot of behavior problems and lacked good communication and social skills," she said. "Now, he's able to verbally communicate to his peers and adults. He is also able to control his behavior."
Bryant said early intervention is key.
"It's important with all children because you get that start of learning how to socialize with peers and make friends," she said. "It's a slow process and it's hard at the beginning. Behavior is the most difficult thing, but once you find ways for them to be able to communicate, then they are able to function."
Bryant said her connection with the students doesn't end after they leave her classroom.
"You might have a teacher who can't get a student to do 'X' so that teacher will call me and ask what I used to help the student verbally communicate," she said.
Nathaniel Glen, 15, a ninth-grader at North Lenoir High School, said at each stop during his school career teachers and administrators have helped him with both his school work and social skills.
"Everyone really tires to help you and in the end I've found a small group of people I like to hang out with," he said. "I'm find a few more people every year. I've met people that understand and get me. It may not be many, but each time helps."
Bryant said in the end, every child can learn.
"No matter what the delay might be, whether it's autism or some other need, that all children are able to learn and be a valuable part of society," she said. "They can do so much more than people think. You just have to believe in them and give them the support that they need at every age."

Fans of CSI: New York can rest easy. The Friday night series was looking like it might be cancelled but has now been renewed for an eighth season.
Starring Gary Sinise, CSI: NY investigations follows the investigations of a team of forensic scientists and police officers in the Big Apple. It began in the fall of 2004 and currently co-stars AJ Buckley, Anna Belknap, Carmine Giovinazzo, Eddie Cahill, Hill Harper, Robert Joy, and Sela Ward.
CBS moved CSI: NY to Friday nights this season, leading many to believe that it was on its way out. The ratings have declined over the years and naturally took a big hit when it was moved. Still, the show has performed better than most other shows of the night and currently averages a 1.8 in the 18-49 demographic and more than 10 million viewers.
According to Deadline, the decision to renew came right down to the wire. Contributing factors that pushed it over the edge include the fact that the show has a profitable syndication deal and also does quite well in international sales.
Though the TV series will be back for an eighth season, it's not decided how many episodes will be ordered. Unlike the others, it may end up being a 13 episodes season.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that CSI: NY will return for season eight?
Wondering where the rest of your shows stand? Check our CBS cancel/renew page.

SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Russell Wilson threw a pair of touchdown passes and the Seattle Seahawks started the defense of their Super Bowl title with a 36-16 win over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
Lynch, who ran for 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, barreled through a trio of Packers for a TD with 3:41 left before halftime to give the Seahawks a 17-10 lead. He added a 3-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth quarter for a 29-10 advantage.
Wilson made sure everyone knew Percy Harvin was healthy, finding the speedy receiver seven times.
Aaron Rodgers threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, but the Packers' up-tempo offense was stymied by Seattle.

Kenny and Ginger Dodgin looked out over their 20 acres and saw thick trees, tall grass and a rickety old barn.
But a co-worker's upcoming wedding changed the landscape and the purpose of the virtually unused property.
Now the Lincoln County couple specializes in "rustic elegance," as Ginger Dodgin calls it.
The renovation
When one of Kenny Dodgin's co-workers said she was looking for a rustic place to have her wedding, he told her of the old barn that was built more than 50 years ago.
The barn had a dirt floor and a leaking ceiling.
Dodgin's co-worker was smitten and said she'd work with the space.
But the Dodgins couldn't let the wedding go on like that. They started brainstorming on what could be if they cared to invest some time and money.
They did.
Ginger Dodgin said she envisioned using the space for family gatherings. She and her husband managed to get a cement floor poured and power run to the old barn before their friend's wedding.
Word spread.
The weddings
Since that first ceremony, the Dodgins have continued to improve on the venture.
They've built bathrooms equipped with plumbing and air conditioning.
A covered patio now connects to the old barn, and a prep kitchen over to the side is hidden by a lace curtain.
The couple has added a ceremony spot down by a nearby creek. Couples have embraced that woodsy setting by including hay rides to carry guests from the wedding site to receptions at the barn.
Couples have chosen three different areas on the property to have their ceremonies. The Dodgins plan to add a fourth.
"A lot of people love the outdoors and nature, and it's so beautiful," said Ginger Dodgin. "Nature in itself is so beautiful that it's hard to top."
The ambiance
The Dodgins replaced the roof and added some new beams to make the place more safe and secure.
But they want to keep the integrity of the place, Ginger Dodgin said.
People have suggested that they add central air and heat. But that would mean enclosing the barn and therefore changing its charm, she said.
"I want it to be an old barn with holes in it," she said.
Just because Ginger Dodgin enjoys the rustic feel of the barn doesn't mean she doesn't try to doll things up for her brides.
She's placed two elaborate chandeliers in the barn and drapes white tulle in entryways. Lit mason jars hang from tree branches, and Dodgin has solar lights on standby.
The future
The old property on Asbury Church Road has been in the Dodgin family since 1981, previously owned by the Cronland family.
Kenny Dodgin used the old barn to park his lawn mowing equipment – mostly avoiding going inside because of snakes.
The couple took on the renovation project in 2010. While each working full-time jobs, the Dodgins continue to work on and improve the wedding venue.
They run the operation privately, not providing extra services but willingly passing along names and numbers.
They haven't done any advertising. All interest has come from word of mouth.
The Dodgins said they're not ready to run a wedding hall full time, but the prospect interests them as an option during retirement.
The venue could also serve other purposes like family reunions, Christmas parties and class reunions, Kenny Dodgin said.
Ginger and Kenny Dodgin got married in 2011.
They exchanged vows outside, though not at the old barn.
Since then Ginger Dodgin said she loves what they've created – a unique option for area weddings.
"There's just not a lot of options for this sort of place," she said. "Though I didn't have my wedding there, I would've loved to have had my wedding there."

Best Wedding Invitations!
I spent way too long looking for wedding invites before I came across magnetstreet. (I would say the # of hours I spent looking, but it is just too embarrassing!)We had a hard time finding a place that offered a style that fit us in the colors we wanted, and all without breaking the bank. Once I finally came across magnetstreet, I was so relieved! They have so many different styles and layouts to choose from and all of the colors and text are completely customizable. Way better than the pre selected assortment of colors I was finding at other places. You can track your order from start to finish, which I love :) My computer was having problems while my order was printing and I called in to magnetstreet expecting to get a call center. I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't! I got Nancy, and she was so awesome, and so very helpful! My invitations came and they look exactly like what I had ordered. So happy I found magnetstreet!! Thanks for everything!
Great :)
The invitations came out great! I would have liked a few more options (in terms of the details - i.e. being able to customize them with glitter, accents, etc.), but overall they came out just as I had ordered them :)

MARK KEOHANE writes that Joe van Niekerk produced a man of the match performance to down London Irish in the European Cup.
Former Bok loose-forward Van Niekerk, captain of Toulon, showed exceptional pace to break the London Irish defence early in the first half and then was influential in setting up Toulon's first and only try of the match.
Toulon won 19-13 with Jonny Wilkinson kicking five from five for 14 points, but it was Van Niekerk who towered above the rest in a match that started well but never sustained the first quarter intensity.
Once again there was inconsistency with referee interpretation at the breakdown, with Northern Hemisphere referees still favouring the defender at the breakdown. On several occasions the attacking player was not given that split second to place the ball.
Van Niekerk, who played for the Boks in the 34-31 victory against Wales in June this year, has consistently been Toulon's best loose-forward over the last two seasons, and he looked every bit a 51-Test veteran in leading from the front against London Irish.
Van Niekerk has reinvented his game in France and despite only playing the one Test for South Africa since moving to Toulon three seasons ago he would not be out of place in any Bok set-up.
Away wins are rare in the European Cup Pool stages and Van Niekerk's inspirational display has given Toulon hope of making it to the quarter-finals of Europe's most glamorous club competition.
The performance was also a reminder of the quality of South African loose-forward playing outside South Africa. Toulouse's Shaun Sowerby has been a similar influence in the Top 14 and European club competition, and had he not been capped for 10 minutes against Samoa in 2002 he would no doubt have played for France over the last three years.
BJ Botha and Ruan Pienaar produced strong displays in Ulster's win against Bath, who have suffered without injured South African duo Butch James and Luke Watson.

Dog Adrenal Gland Tumor
Dog Adrenal Gland Tumor
As a dog owner you want your dog to be healthy and well throughout their whole life, but unfortunately this doesn't always happen. There are several different tumors and lumps that your dog can get, with some being normal and others being deadly. One type of tumor which is very common amongst dogs is the Adrenal Gland tumor.
Adrenal Gland explained
The Adrenal glands are very small glands which are found in dogs. They are buried in the fat directly in front of the kidneys. Their function is to regulate important hormones and they influence the function of your dog's vital organs. The Adrenal Gland is made up of two very important parts: the cortex and the medulla. Both of these can develop tumors and serious diseases. If these glands are not functioning correctly then it is very likely that there is a tumor present that is stopping them from working correctly.
Symptoms of Adrenal Gland tumor
If your dog begins to have Dog Increased Thirst and then Dog Increased Urination, Dog Appetite Increase, thinning skin and thinning coat then you will need to consider they may have a tumor. The tumor will cause changes in the hormone levels in your dog, which will cause these symptoms. Also their blood glucose levels will increase and your dog may experience Dog High Blood Pressure which will, in turn, cause an increased risk of blood clots. If you are concerned that your dog has these symptoms then you should seek veterinary assistance so as to correctly diagnose the problem.
Diagnosis of the tumor
You will need to have your dog properly diagnosed as soon as possible. Your vet will need to run a series of tests to decide what is wrong with your dog. Often CT and MRI scans will help to locate the tumor and in some cases an ultra sound will be able to detect them. The tumors will be causing dis-comfort to your dog so you have to get them diagnosed as soon as possible. Dogs with any form of cancer will need to be treated in a certain way and have a specific Dog Diet.
Treatment of the tumor
How your vet decides to treat the tumor will depend on several different factors, such as the age of your dog and their overall health. Often, if your dog is well enough, they will have the tumor removed surgically or a drug may be given to try and shrink it. The surgery is a very complicated procedure and there are often complications afterwards. If your dog is too old or ill then they can be given a drug to help with the pain and to attempt to shrink the tumor.
Aftercare for your dog
Your dog will need supplements to help the adrenal glands to recover and begin producing the correct levels of hormones again. Some dogs do require these supplements for life and others recover better and can be taken off of them. Your dog will need to be monitored closely and have regular checkups with your vet until they are happy with your dog's progress.

BUFFALO, NY—Miami's men's swimming and diving team falls to University at Buffalo on the road, 134-166, in their second Mid-American Conference dual meet of the season.
The loss pushes the RedHawks' overall dual meet record to 4-2 and is their first loss since travelling to Purdue in November.
Junior Joe Baumgartner led the way for the RedHawks, contributing to 26 points, behind first and second-place individual finishes, in addition to his contributions to Miami's win in the 200 freestyle relay and a third-place finish in the 200 medley relay.
Baumgartner was the first-place finisher in the 100 freestyle with a time of 45.78. His second-place finish came in the 50 freestyle with a time of 20.87. He narrowly lost by three-tenths of a second to Buffalo's swimmer. Miami had the top team in the 200 freestyle relay with Baumgartner, freshman Lucas Brock, sophomore Christopher Dieter and senior Dan Nemeth. They swam a time of 1:23.80.
In the 200 medley relay, the RedHawks finished two and three. The team of sophomore Sean Neri, sophomore Evan Bader, freshman Grant Stafford and Nemeth took second (1:33.65), while the team of sophomore Heshan Unamboowe, freshman Steven Russo, senior Michael Cavanaugh and Baumgartner took third (1:34.91).
The RedHawks also had individual wins from Cavanaugh, Unamboowe and sophomore Michael Nash.
Cavanaugh was victorious in the 200 IM (1:53.72). He also took third in the 200 butterfly (1:52.79).
Unamboowe took first in a narrow 100 backstroke victory. He out-touched Buffalo's swimmer by three-hundredths of a second with his time of 52.03.
Nash was a first-place finisher in the three-meter diving event with 362.48 points. He also took fourth in the one-meter dive, scoring 249.45 points. Sophomore Cole Fryman took second in the one-meter dive (262.20 points).
Solid individual second-place finishes were turned in by Bader, in the 100 breaststroke (57.67) and 200 breaststroke (2:05.50), Brock, in the 200 freestyle (1:43.14) and Stafford in both the 100 butterfly (51.35) and 200 butterfly (1:51.26).
Miami hosts MAC foe Eastern Michigan at the Nixon Aquatic Center on Saturday, Feb. 1, at 1 p.m.

The popularity of self storage units is increasing at a fast pace. Homeowners, businessmen and even students are availing the Self Storage units because they are cost-effective and a good option in ensuring the safety of their valuables. However, you still need to do some homework before you rent a self storage facility.
Obviously, the first things that you need to do is to decide and make a list of your to be stored items before you rent a storage unit. This will help you in deciding the type and size of unit you want to avail. The rental cost varies depending on the size of the unit so choose the one that fits your requirements for you to be able to pay lesser.
The next thing that you need to do is to list down a couple of self storage companies. Then, ask for quotes and compare their product features and pricing. Compare the prices of several storage companies and then make a decision.
Keep in mind that when you hire a self storage unit, do not stop on the first option. There are so many storage companies in Perth so you can shop around and look for the best available option. Then, make sure that your choice will give you all the things that you need worth the money you pay.

Internalities and Paternalism: Applying the Compensation Criterion to Multiple Selves across Time
2012, Social Choice and Welfare
Eric Bennett Rasmusen
One reason to call an activity a vice and suppress it is that it reduces a person's future happiness more than it increases his present happiness. Gruber & Koszegi (2001) show how a vice tax can increase a person's welfare in a model of multiple selves with hyperbolic preferences across time. An interself analogy of the compensation criterion can justify a vice ban whether preferences are hyperbolic or exponential, but subject to the caveat that the person has a binding constraint on borrowing.
Rasmusen, Eric Bennett (2012), "Internalities and Paternalism: Applying the Compensation Criterion to Multiple Selves across Time," Social Choice and Welfare, Vol. 38, No. 4, April, pp. 601-615.

Does this TV ad seem on the odd side to yous? I don't mean just the "grace of God" comment, but the whole monologue by Mrs. Preston.
"We say, 'Love your brother…' We don't say it really, but… Well we don't literally say it. We don't really, literally mean it. No, we don't believe it either, but… But that message should be clear."—David St. Hubbins
Your kid could die horribly, let us help…..... That was really tacky.
Why is there Something instead of Nothing: No reason or ever knowable reason.
Kissing Hank's Ass
Pope Song (rated NC17).
Life insurance is a sensitive subject because it forces one to deal with one's mortality. I thought the ad had the right message but poor execution, because I got the feeling that the widow is cool with her husband's death because thanks to the insurance pay out she's set. Sure, that's how life insurance works, but there's a better example in saying, "What will happen to you and the kids if your primary source of income is cut off?"
"All extremists should be killed!" - neighbor's bumper sticker
The ad is unusual in that most life insurance ads are from the pre-expiration perspective in preparation for death. This is from the post-expiration perspective of what happened after death. Also, it is unambiguously directed to the Christian market (see longer 7 min version). They should have depicted the deceased looking down from heaven.
"This is it. You are it."
- Jos. Campbell
Thanks for mentioning that version, man.
Here's the link to the extended hot mix dance version:
I just find the whole straightforward angle unusually ... real, I guess, compared to what we normally see aimed at such a mass market, and it seems they could have used some portion of her emotionally demonstrative segment in the shorter one—its absence is striking to me.
So ... yeah. Sad story, unusually honest(?) ad.

Beautiful Wedding Programs
I have used Magnet Street for everything from Save the Dates to my ceremony programs, and everything in between. I have loved everything about the ease of using the website and the friendliness of the Magnet Street staff. Most recently, I had accidentally made a huge error on the ceremony programs, and when I called Magnet Street to rectify this problem, they were more than accommodating in helping me to fix it and make sure I received exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be more pleased, and would most definitely recommend Magnet Street for all of you brides out there!!! It's just so pleasant to work with such a wonderful business during this crazy detail-oriented time of your life!
Great service!
Magnet street was a great company to order our wedding invitations from. I made my invitations online and the designer was really helpful on refining my choices. Also I made a mistake in my RSVP cards and didn't catch it in the proof, and when I had to reorder they were really awesome about the price and service. Everything was great. I will absolutely keep them in mind for future invitation and printing needs!
Amazing Experience!
I have never ordered invitations online before. Magnetstreet was very user friendly and had so many options to choose from. My customer service representative was incredibly helpful. She made sure that the colors and fonts on all of my products matched and that I was happy before I ordered. The invitations came within 10 days after I placed the final offer. I would recommend Magnetstreet to anyone. I would use them again for myself.
Beautiful Wedding Invitations
I really enjoyed using Magnet Street for several reasons. The simplicity of changing the colors of basically anything (to match your own color scheme), the ease of talking with someone over the phone for additional questions, and the huge selection of templates to choose from are just a few reasons why I loved using this company for my wedding invitations and Save-the-Dates. The option to order "Just One" is extremely helpful, so that you don't regret any small detail you may have missed during the design phase. The ONLY thing I have to say negatively is that we were not sent enough envelopes. Usually, out of courtesy, companies will ship extra, but we actually received less than ordered. Overall, Magnet Street did an excellent job in creating my the perfect wedding invitation. I would highly recommend using them.
Wonderful invitations
The quality of the paper is wonderful and I also loved the fact that everything is customizable and without added cost. They exceeded all my expectations.

Lacey, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital
When ASPCA Special Agent Ann Kelly brought hound mix puppies Cagney and Lacey to the ASPCA Animal Hospital on February 17, the two were so skinny that their bones were visible from across the room.
The dogs' owner, Gillian Irving, relinquished them to the ASPCA after Agent Kelly visited her home in the Norwood section of the Bronx. In April, Agent Kelly arrested Irving, who was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. (If convicted, Irving faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.)
Meanwhile, under the care of our veterinary professionals, the frightened dogs put on weight quickly: Cagney went from 16.4 to 27.1 pounds, and Lacey from 15.2 to 26.9, in the months leading up to Irving's arrest.
As these shy puppies gained weight, they also made new friends among ASPCA staff and learned that new people weren't so scary after all. At first, the dogs "would cower to the ground when they were removed from their kennels," recalls ASPCA Senior Behavior and Training Manager Victoria Wells. "Once the vets gave the medical okay, they were paired up with each other and more confident dogs for play sessions and walks to expose them to new people and places. They slowly began to overcome their fear."
They even made a special friend in Kim Danley, a licensed veterinary technician. When the dogs were ready to move to foster homes, Danley brought Lacey to the home she shared with her Rottweiler and ASPCA-alumnus cat, while Cagney went to another foster home.
As Danley invested lots of time in teaching Lacey that new people and places were exciting, not scary, Lacey became an irreplaceable member of the family. When Lacey was made available for adoption, Danley decided to make it official. She filled out the paperwork and renamed her Frankie.
Since then, the Danley family has moved to California, where Frankie loves running on the beach, sunbathing on her deck and taking boat rides. Danley reports that "now she's the happiest dog in the world. She and Charlie sleep curled up with each other every night. She's not afraid of a thing."
We adopted a shelter dog in November and my son gave him a new name,which he responds to greatly,and it's a new chapter in his life!!His name was Pistol(he's from Texas)and now it's Sparky,he's a Jack Russell/Beagle mix!
PLEASE DEAR GOD put IRVING IN JAIL OR HELL !! Those are beautiful dogs WHY ???? in the world would she do that to those dogs why not ask for help !! She is one SORRY human !! If she really is a human !!
Didn't they say in the article that Cagney went to a good foster home? Then why does it say that anyone is welcome to adopt Cagney and that she's still looking for a home?
Renaming is a great idea! In December '11 I renamed my rescued 14 yr old toy Poodle Patrick, and he responded immediately. He was given up for 1) not cute anymore and 2) too much of a hassle to take care of. He's 14, almost blind, 2 teeth, and the scrawniest little munchkin ever. He's in a "relationship" with my rescued 11 yr old Black Lab. I don't know what happened to him before he decided to let 'me live with him', but his fearful behavior showed it wasn't happy. I started calling him Patrick, and he changed completely and became the Alpha Dog!
Great to see a happy ending for this sweet dog.
This is great news about the pups. The problem we have is that our county won't do anything about animal abuse and neglect. When my group found two starving dogs, a starving cat, and two hutches filled with dead rabbits that died in the hot sun with no food or water and we took pictures, the ASPCA would do nothing. We even had pictures, owner name, address, everything. We rescued the dogs and cat. The rabbits were animals too and it is right that those people got off scott free from what they did to those poor little rabbits. I don't have much faith in the ASPCA
I honestly think their previous owners, who neglected them that much, hardly ever called them by their name anyway. I think a new name could help the animal associate good feelings so much more easily.
Hello my name is Florencia, I'm from Argentina, I really wanted to congratulate you for the great work they do! It fills my soul to know that there are people so good with animals and especially that they respect them! I always see the ASPCA program in home & health. Congratulations with all my heart, keep it up! <3
