OXFORD, Ohio -- Miami placed four players in double figures, led by Hannah Robertson's 18 points, but an 11-3 run over the final 2:52 lifted Buffalo to a 78-70 victory over the RedHawks Thursday afternoon at Millett Hall. The loss snapped Miami's five-game winning streak. The 'Hawks fall to 13-7 overall and 5-2 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bulls improve to 7-13 overall and 5-2 in the MAC.
Miami came into the game allowing only 57.3 points per game, but the Buffalo offense came out firing, hitting 11 three-point baskets during the contest. The Bulls shot 46.6 percent (27-for-58) for the game.
Kirsten Olowinski recorded her seventh double-double of the season for the RedHawks, finishing with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Erica Almady scored a career-high 17, while Courtney Osborn contributed 13 points. Miami shot 40.3 percent (27-for-67) for the game but only 21.1 percent (4-for-19) from behind the arc.
Both teams came out playing a fast pace to begin the game as Olowinski hit a pair of layups, while Hannah Robertson and Haley Robertson each scored to give the 'Hawks an early 12-7 advantage. In front 14-12, a layup from Almady followed by three straight three-pointers from Osborn were part of a 16-5 run that gave Miami its largest lead at 30-17 with 6:04 remaining in the half.
Buffalo's three-point shooting became a factor towards the end of the first half. The Bulls hit three shots from behind the arc as part of a 15-4 run that cut their deficit to only two at 34-32. A jumper from Olowinski put the lead back to four, but Buffalo answered back with a basket of its own to send the game into the break with the RedHawks in front, 36-34.
Hannah Robertson led Miami with 10 points in the first half, while Olowinski and Osborn each had nine. The RedHawks shot 44.1 percent (15-for-34) during the period.
Neither team could establish a lead of more than four points during the first 18 minutes of the second half. Each time Miami looked to pull away, the Bulls would answer with a timely three-point basket. Tied at 52, layups from Olowinski and Osborn made it 56-52 with 9:00 remaining in the game. The teams traded buckets, with a Hannah Robertson jumper giving the Red and White a 58-54 advantage with 8:25 to go.
Buffalo responded with a 6-0 run over the next two and a half minutes to go back in front 60-58. A Hannah Robertson jumper tied the score, but the Bulls went right down the floor with another layup. Trailing 64-62, Almady would hit a jumper in the lane despite getting hit on the arm. She converted the free throw to put the 'Hawks up 65-64 with 4:28 to go.
A three-pointer from Buffalo made it 67-65, before Hannah Robertson tied the score with a jumper. A pair of baskets from the Bulls started the closing 11-3 run, with the key playing coming with the RedHawks trailing 71-68 with 2:00 to go. Off a missed three-pointer, Miami got two offensive rebounds and two layup attempts at the basket. Unable to convert, Buffalo took it the length of the court and recorded an old-fashioned three-point play to make it a six-point advantage and put the game out of reach.
The score was tied nine times, while the lead changed another nine times throughout the game. Miami outrebounded Buffalo, 42-32, for the contest. Osborn led the 'Hawks with six assists, while Hannah Robertson had three steals.
Miami looks to get back on the winning track when it travels to Northern Illinois on Sunday for a 2 p.m. (EST) contest. The game will be broadcast live on STO and ESPN3. Tim Bray's audio call will also be available on WMOH and Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed off the blood of mammals and birds, typically at night. They are copper colored and wingless, but turn bright red as they feed.
Bed bugs are found in mattress seams, box springs, or in cracks and crevices near sleeping areas. As bed bugs cannot fly, they crawl or are carried by other animals, including humans. Common methods of transportation include hiding in luggage, clothes, mattresses and furniture.
Read more about 'bed bugs'
While the insects do not carry diseases, their bites will often leave a red, swollen welt that will itch. Scratching at these welts can cause infections. Not everyone who is bitten by bed bugs will develop these welts.
Detecting bed bugs can take some time if someone hasn't been bitten. Dark fecal spots and light-brown sked skins are one way, but the best way is to remove linens from mattresses, dismantle furniture and frames and check in holes and crevices with a flashlight and magnifying glass.
If an infestation has occurred, thoroughly vacuum and wash all infested areas, including steam cleaning. A new mattress by also be necessary if the bed bugs have laid eggs. Spray approved insecticides along cracks and crevices and then sealing them if possible. If the infestation is sizable, contacting a pest control specialist is the best option.

Earlier this year, the ASPCA assisted in a three-state dog fighting bust alongside the FBI, Missouri Highway Patrol and several other agencies.
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard.
Today, after months under the care of our behaviorists, veterinarians and tireless responders, dogs rescued from this raid are thriving. In fact, some have already headed to rescue for adoption! Still others remain in our care.
We wanted to show you some of these dogs' happy faces and thank you for helping us make their rescue possible. We couldn't have taken on this massive operation without your help!
Slideshow: Amazing Transformation of Dog Fighting Victims
I quit donating to Peta a year ago. 97% of the animals they pick up are killed! There have been abuses by their workers. I give only money to the ASPCA. I know with the ASPCA the money is used to help, salvage and find these poor creatures NEW LOVING HOMES. My PitBull, D.O.G. died after 15 yrs. of heaven sent companionship last month, looking at these beautiful animals made me remember how blessed I am to have had him in my life. God Bless the ASPCA!
we had a rescue pit we got her when she was 6 months and our grandson was 6 months she was a beautiful and loyal and sweet even after what she went thru she come to be our grandsons dog her name was caramel we went to visit family one day out of town we weren,t gone maybe 5 hours and when we returned she was gone we searched for her almost a year everyday calling our local radio broadcasting and telling everyone and we searched every neighborhood or call of she had been seen she was on a chain we are sure she was stolen we had a neighbor who was trying to buy her for a friend they wanted to breed her we said no repeatly they were seen in our yard day she went missing but we couldn,t prove they took her she was not a dog caramel was our child and my grandsons best friend jessie still cries for her if he sees a dog just like her neighbors at first said to get rid of her just because she was a pitbull they said she will kill that child caramel was family she was a year old when she was took we still miss her we want to adopt another pit but don,t have money to buy one for 5-1000 dollars we took a chance when we got caramel can someone please tell me how to adopt a free one we live in shelby county texas we have faith in pits their not bad some owners are email [email protected]
and someone
I too don't know who to trust,I guess no-one without facts. There are still animal shelters that still gass our demesticated friends who are unwanted.I trusted shelters were for the animals,but they are so..swamped,because people still keep breeding,even though thousands or more a day are being killed by the dozens. Untill we get so called pet lovers to stop breeding,the killing is going to keep happening.Breeding makes it easier to look the other way,cause of being overwhelmed or oh well,there's more where that came from. The laws aren't doing anything to try and stop breeding and killing,must be profitting ,off over population somehow. I too have to wonder who might be misleading public.Closed doors of any place is A Big Red Flag To Me!!
I am so glad that these dogs were able to found new homes where they will be loved and taken care of. No dog or animals deserves to be put through this. The humans that do this need to have it done to them...Eye for an eye. God did not put these animals on earth for humans to torture, abuse or kill for pleasure.
I've heard nothing good about PETA so I have nothing good to go on
start donating to the ASPCA and help every dog and cat get the medical attention it needs and help stop dog fights!
These wonderful pictures made me cry. It is so good that our rescue organizations are now making such an effort to rehabilitate these dogs instead of putting them down immediately. I applaud all of your great people that are working so hard for these misunderstood dogs.
You guys are awesome! Thankyou for all the work you do for these beautiful creatures..God Bless each and everyone of you.
Regardless of circumstance or owner, lets look at the realism here of the discussion taking place. We (be it any organization) rescues animals in need. Many of them have been so messed up by bad people that they will never be welcomed back into society. That leaves us with few choices.
1. Lock them up no differently then we do with the humans who cannot re-enter society, except they, as free spirited beings, do not understand that the bars are meant to protect them.
2. Leave them is the awful situation we rescued them from, destined to live a painful life and die a terrible death.
3. End their suffering in the arms of someone who cares, in a final moment of love.
Choice three is a terrible one, it comes as a result of our species neglecting and taking advantage of the other inhabitants of this earth, however, sometimes, as a last resort, it is the right choice. Be it ASPCA (who I support), Humane Society (who I support) or PETA (who I can't stand because of the reasons listed in other posts), they genuinely act in the best interest of their wards within their capabilities.
The fact is, we all do the best we can, and we all have a common goal. That goal is to create a world where our presence is no longer required. A world of empty shelters, without animal fighting, where no soul is left behind. Until that day, we simply do the best we can.

Osprey packs have been on the backs of adventurers for over 35 years and the quality and their design shine in their 2013 Osprey Zealot 16 pack. The Osprey Zealot 16 hydration pack was specifically designed for mountain bikers looking for an Osprey pack to use on their all day rides. As you are shopping for your next hydration pack, the Osprey Zealot 16 should be high on the list if you need a hydration pack to carry tools, water and body armor in a comfortable package. The narrow profile allows maximum range of motion while climbing or bombing down hills and the hydration reservoir keeps your thirst at bay. Although narrow, there is plenty of storage space inside the 10 liter cargo space. The Osprey hydration pack has a LidLock™ helmet clip for your cross country style helmet or if you prefer to use a full-face helmet, that can be strapped to the Osprey Zealot 16 too. Body armor has convenient storage location on the over sized mesh side pockets or on the front padded compression pocket. There is a removable roll- out tool pouch for keeping things organized on the trail and a goggle/sunglass pocket.
Mountain bikers, hikers, or any other adventurer can hold up to three liters of fluid in the reservoir of the Osprey Zealot 16 hydration pack. Osprey designed the hydration reservoir with a welded-in back panel for stable water transportation. For filling the reservoir, Osprey uses a large ¾ turn opening on the low profile reservoir.The high flow valve on the 1/4" hose keeps the fluid flowing steadily. For convenience, the bite valve features a magnetic clip that attaches to the sternum strap of the hydration pack.
Great design and great fit are key to the folks at Osprey Packs. Osprey offers the Zealot 16 hydration pack in two sizes to ensure a great fit for mountain bikers of all sizes. Like all Osprey packs, the Zealot 16 can be further adjusted with the shoulder straps, waist pack and sternum strap. Osprey believes that mountain bikers will perform better when their packs fit.
Like all Osprey packs for the past 35 plus years, the Osprey Zealot 16 has been carefully designed by company founder Mike Pfotenhauer. Osprey packs offer great fit and functionality in a great looking backpack for all mountain bikers.Sizing

Comments about Osprey Zealot 16 Hydration Pack 2013:
This pack isn't brought into Australia so when Jenson had it on sale before Xmas '13 I jumped at it. Unfortunately my mrs got it & hid for a Xmas pressie before I got to it! This pack is awesome! I have a few packs inc ones suspended off your back, and the Zealot 16 gives the best balance of comfort, back cooling & functionality without throwing u off line! I love the harness, especially the pockets, & the tool role is handy. It's got good organisational ability (I'm not too bothered by bags without pockets as I use silk or plastic bags to organise my stuff instead where needed) which is helped by the fact the bag opens up completely for cleaning! Great bag, highly recommended!

Comments about Osprey Zealot 16 Hydration Pack 2013:
This is a very well made, durable and well thought out pack.
I first discovered it when searching for Nalgene reservoirs on their own, since I was extremely happy with this brand of reservoir in my old Dakine Nomad pack (which was stolen). I've used 3 different brands of reservoir before Nalgene and none are as good in terms of water taste, or how long water can remain in pack before going funky. So it turned out Osprey packs use Nalgene reservoirs, so I dug deeper.
Initially I was after a mesh style back that held the pack away from your back (like some Deuter, Berghaus & Vaude models - which don't come with reservoirs hence why I was looking for these alone). But at the same time I wanted something rugged and MTB oriented. Osprey do have some 'away from back' style packs, but they're not as MTB oriented as the Zealot.
Then I discovered that the Zealot does indeed have a mesh back, but slightly different in that it's suspended from your back by a ridged padding piece sitting immediately behind the mesh, which is designed to contour to your back's curve. Combined with the design of the reservoir this means the back doesn't bulge out of the pack when it's full of water. So, essentially, all that's touching your back are the tips of a bunch of ridges.
After 4 long rides including a 4hr day this weekend gone, I have ended up with a much drier back than my previous pack. Dry enough to not have to change before sitting in my car anyway.
The rest of the pros are pretty much the same as most reviews will tell you. The roll-out tool pouch is awesome. The flat design that doesn't extend too far away from your back is great for no throwing off your centre of gravity. It's tough as nails (though I haven't landed on it yet, but by all accounts it's able to handle this, and it's backed up by a lifetime warranty). It sits nicely on your back and doesn't sit off-centre. And it looks great.
Overall - very happy so far.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Trail alignment, user conflicts and safety remain areas of concern from some residents and property owners regarding the proposed Martis Valley Trail that proponents say will offer environmental benefits and additional recreational opportunities to both locals and visitors.
The Northstar Community Service District board of directors, the lead agency for the project, approved the trail's Final Environmental Impact Report at a public meeting on Oct. 17 at Truckee Town Hall.
No "significant" changes were made to the Draft EIR in creating the Final EIR, with revisions mainly consisting of adding or eliminating information for clarification or background purposes, correcting typos and updating dates, said Katherine Waugh, senior project manager for Dudek - formerly known as North Fork - the company that created the EIR, at the Oct. 17 meeting.
Many of the document's "master responses" to common concerns on the trail's environmental impact were either "less than significant" or they could be "adequately mitigated to less than significant levels."
The meeting was well-attended, and many residents and property owners voiced both praise and concern for the project, including Truckee resident Ann Penfield.
"It seems like a lot of the comments in the EIR, they're just saying, 'Well, yeah, this exists, but we don't feel it's significant,'" she said. "Who sets the bar on where the significance comes into play? ... That's just an issue that I have with how the EIR is done."
Cathy Spence-Wells, principal of Dudek, responded: "The whole part of this CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act) process is to evaluate significant adverse effects on the physical environment, and significant can mean a whole lot of different things depending on the resource topic.
"For instance, there are very specific requirements under the law if it's a cultural resource. The law tells us that (if) you're going to impact it in a certain way, that's a significant effect. But it's not so simple for everything else."
NCSD board member Darrell Smith also commented on matter.
"I think there's a lot of support for what's in the report, including the questioning of what's in the report and what's the standard," he said. "Those are important questions and it is subjective in many areas. My understanding from the consultants is that's what it's suppose to be."
Throughout the meeting, it was reiterated the board would not make a decision that night regarding the trail alignment, but several of the approximately 40 people attending touched on the subject.
"I just want to say I really support this bike trail," said Truckee resident Alan Gauld. "I think it's a wonderful idea. It'll be a huge asset to the region in general and to Truckee specifically.
"I do quite a bit of cycling, and I think it would be much more enjoyable to have the trail go through the valley and not along the highway. A trail that goes right along the highway is only a slight improvement over actually riding on the road."
Northstar resident Kirstin Cravens is opposed to the Valley Trail alignment.
"Where my home is, it backs up to the possible Valley Trail," she said. "I really do not want to see 10 feet of pavement in my backyard. I'm also concerned about the parking issue. I'm concerned about littering issues. I'm concerned about the visibility from the homes in the valley route. I'm a full-time resident, but a lot of these (are) people's vacation homes ... I'm concerned a little bit about vandalism."
The EIR addresses many of those concerns, and some of its finding are: It's not "expected" that construction and use of either alignment will cause an increase in crime rates, and the environmental impact of a paved trail would be mitigated to "less than significant levels."
Another issue raised was the potential for user conflicts on the proposed mixed-use trail.
"When you have bicyclers and joggers, it doesn't mix well with those of us that like to walk our dogs," said Truckee resident Catherine Eckhardt.
Another potential conflict is between bikers and those who are hearing impaired, said Truckee resident Ellie Hyatt.
"When bikers approach from the rear, you cannot see them and (if you're hearing impaired), they can't hear someone coming up from the rear," she said. "It startles them, scares them and often times they cannot get out of the way."
The Final EIR states: "The increased use of the trails and the change in composition of user groups is expected to increase the potential for conflicts between trail users to occur. This is considered a potentially significant impact. The Draft EIR identifies several project design measures that reduce this impact and identifies one mitigation measure necessary to ensure the impact is reduced to a less than significant level."
Hyatt also brought up the issue that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers won't allow construction of the trail on its property until the outcome of a Martis Creek Dam Safety Modification Study is determined.
"In terms of the dam project and the timing uncertainties, the response to that comment does note that construction of portions of the trail that are not within the Army Corps land could occur without that dam safety modification project being complete," Spence-Wells said.
"But suppose you start the project - and it could be quite costly - and then suddenly, you hit the Army Corps of Engineers land and they're saying, 'no,'" Hyatt said. "What do you intend to do? We have a trail to nowhere."
A "trail to nowhere" wouldn't prevent people from using it, an audience member pointed out.
Smith thanked the public for their comments and questions.
"Some of (the comments) were very specific about the environmental impact report and critical, if not questioning in some cases," he said. "I would like to assure you that all those topics were already discussed between the board and the consultant."

(NewsUSA) - The commitment to get to the gym on a regular basis may have come and gone for many by now -- and understandably so.
While most people may have the desire, busy lives usually trump resolutions. Before you know it, your fitness goals have fallen by the wayside. Worse yet, maybe you've been able to get to the gym, but injuries and soreness are threatening to derail you. If this is the case, the answer may not lie in your local fitness center, but rather in a more alternative approach to health and wellness -- in the privacy of your own home.
Infrared saunas are now being championed by doctors and other medical professionals as a way to relieve joint pain, facilitate weight loss, reduce stress and boost the immune system.
This new wave of saunas is different in that the heat from an infrared sauna can penetrate up to 3 inches into your body, heating muscle tissue and even internal organs without heating the surrounding air. This lower heat range allows users to stay in the sauna for a longer period of time, while discharging toxins stored in your cells, and purging it out of the body by turning it into sweat.
The advantage of the longer session is that you sweat more and for a longer time so you burn added calories. Depending on your metabolism, half an hour in an infrared sauna could utilize 500-700 calories or the equivalent of a two-mile jog.

Eastern Alamance's girls' basketball team made it all the way back to the cusp of toppling Northern Guilford in the Mid-State 3-A Conference Tournament championship game.
Then the Eagles were blocked on the way to a potential title.
Two blocked shots for Northern Guilford in the waning seconds helped the regular-season champion Nighthawks hold off second-seeded Eastern Alamance 42-40 on Friday night at Williams High School.
"We had a lot of fight at the end," Eastern Alamance senior Terri Rogers said. "Just we really wanted it, to try to come back and win the game."
The Eagles (21-6) nearly wiped out a nine-point deficit across the last five minutes. They regained possession trailing by two with a minute remaining after a missed free throw by the Nighthawks.
Eastern Alamance coach Tim Krotish said he considered calling a timeout several times as the clock ticked down. Then he saw a play developing.
India Jones found a crease and drove toward the lane, but her shot was rejected. Teammate Aliyah Bryant grabbed the loose ball before Northern Guilford's Amanda Coffer swatted away her attempt from the left low post.
By the time the Nighthawks raced to the other end and a foul was whistled on Eastern Alamance, all that remained were five seconds.
"That last possession, I wish I could have that one back," Krotish said. "We had them when they were out of sorts and I thought something was going to open. When (Jones) was spinning free, I thought we were going to get one."
It was the last of Coffer's six blocked shots. The 6-foot-1 senior ranks as high as second on a statewide list for blocked shots this season.
"That was the biggest block of her career," Northern Guilford coach Kim Furlough said.
The Eagles were devastated on how potential openings closed during the crucial sequence.
"We tried to get it in or tried to get a foul, or any kind of a shot off," Rogers said.
Aliyah Grinage scored 18 points and Gabby Boyd added 11 points for Northern Guilford (26-1).
Jaimee Cousin's 14 points and Rogers' 12 points paced the Eagles.
"It was a championship game and that's the way you want it to be," Furlough said of the end-of-game excitement.
For a stretch, it didn't appear that such dramatics would be in order. The Nighthawks scored the first six points of the fourth quarter, later stretching the lead to 41-32 with 5:41 to play.
"We're good at running," Furlough said of key baskets in transition. "They didn't get back on us a couple of times and we were able to get out."
The Eagles looked down and out.
"There was a timeout and I told them, 'Really, we're going to collapse again after playing them so tough?' " Krotish said. "I didn't want to watch it."
Then it became better for Eastern Alamance, which was within 41-38 after Cousin hit a jumper at the 3:27 mark. Rogers scored in the lane to close the gap to 42-40 with 1:59 left.
The Eagles missed their last four shots, with three of those blocked.
Eastern Alamance has never defeated Northern Guilford, falling to 0-10 against the Nighthawks since the current conference alignment. Northern Guilford won a tournament semifinals matchup last season.
"Enough where I'm frustrated about it," Krotish said of the series with Northern Guilford. "It's upsetting to not get over this one hurdle against this one team."
The Nighthawks hadn't forgotten last year's final on the same court, Furlough said, when a controversial shot at the end gave Rockingham County a victory. Furlough said the Nighthawks didn't want to be in position to lose like that again.

|All Children's Hospital Guild Announces $900,000 Pledge to Support Palliative Care Program
The All Children's Hospital Guild has announced a three-year pledge to raise $900,000 to support and enhance the hospital's Palliative Care Program. The Guild's gift will create an endowment to expand and sustain this multidisciplinary program.
"The Pediatric Palliative Care program provides a coordinated, comprehensive and above all compassionate approach to caring for children with life-limiting or potentially life-threatening illnesses and injuries," said Tricia Davidson, Chair of the All Children's Hospital Guild. "All nine branches of our Guild will contribute to this pledge to enable the Palliative Care program to grow so that it can help more patients and their families."
The goal of the Pediatric Palliative Care program is to help children and families live as normal a life as possible and to support them in making decisions about care, while respecting families' choices, values and cultural traditions. The program provides additional services to patients through a team that includes a physician, a nurse, a social worker, a child life specialist, a chaplain and a pain management nurse, who work to support the patient's primary care team by helping to address pain and quality of life, and also provide emotional and spiritual support to patients and their family members.
The Guild's gift will also be used to create a Pediatric Palliative Care Fellowship program, an opportunity to offer specialized physician training, enhance medical care and provide needed medical research and education in pediatric palliative care.
"We are very grateful to the All Children's Hospital Guild members for their commitment to this program," said Jonathan Ellen, M.D., President and Physician-in-Chief, All Children's Hospital. "Palliative care services add another dimension to our focus on family-centered care by providing an additional level of compassionate care. In addition, the new pediatric palliative care fellowship will be part of All Children's expanded mission of education and research."
Approximately half of the infants and children hospitalized at All Children's can benefit from some or all of the Palliative Care Team's services, Dr. Ellen notes. "Good palliative care can help all seriously ill or injured children, working with-not instead of-other treatments."

Contradiction for Men - I love this scent!, is the only CK fragrance I like. I was afraid they stopped manufacturing it.
Written by F SANCHEZ on January 22, 2013Read Review details ►
Contradiction for men by CK is great. I loved it on my husband and still do. The only problem is he had a bottle which is small (30 ml) and edt looks almost champagne colour, yellowish. Whenever we tried to buy new one to replace it, it smells different and came only in big bottle (100 ml) with a hint of blue in colour as in most of photos on the net...Does anyone know or have the one that is not blue and smells great?

This fragrance is like a kick in the face! A pleasant one at least. I was given the aftershave as a gift when I first started shaving at the age of 15, but I was too young to appreciate it. Today, all I can say is that it brings anyone who smells it into a fast journey far from the harshness of the city and into a crisp, natural and mythical forest. Different but I really appreciate it!

U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson
September 10, 2013
It is often said that in war the simple becomes difficult and the difficult becomes impossible. As Washington deliberates the extent of our involvement in Syria's civil war, it's important that lawmakers thoughtfully consider the long-term effects of intervention and ask serious questions regarding the United States' policy in the Middle East.
For over two years, Syria has been engaged in a civil war. More than 100,000 civilians have been killed in the fighting and another one-and-a-half million have been displaced, seeking safe harbor in neighboring states. Recent reports that the regime of Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against its own citizens has prompted the Obama Administration to consider taking military action against the regime. Congress is slated to vote on the proposed use of force in the coming days.
I have thoroughly studied the situation in Syria, receiving intelligence briefings and speaking with my colleagues in Congress. Proponents of military action believe that missile strikes would help maintain America's prestige in the world and reestablish America's tattered credibility in the region. If only this vote for military action in Syria could restore our standing in the world, demonstrate strength of conviction in the region, and make the world safer for America and our allies — then I would vote for it. But it won't.
It has become clear to me that President Obama and his Administration do not have a cohesive long-term policy for the Middle East and are unable to articulate a strategy in Syria. The Administration has also not made it clear what objective and end game is achievable with a limited use of force. I think they're forgetting that the first rule of war is that the enemy gets a vote. While the Obama Administration may intend for the conflict to remain limited, Syria and its allies (Iran and Hezbollah) certainly have the capability to escalate the situation by attacking our allies (such as Israel, Jordan and Turkey) and continue using weapons of mass destruction against other targets. What is intended to be a limited missile strike in Syria has the potential to turn this civil war into a regional conflict.
To make matters worse, it appears that if we were to pursue the President's suggested course of military action, we would be acting unilaterally, as support from our allies is nearly nonexistent. Limited unilateral action will not send the right message to Iran and other bad actors, and I fear it will only further destabilize the region. The greatest danger to the United States and our allies in the region is the prospect of Iran gaining nuclear weapons capability. The regime in Iran doesn't think for one second that President Obama will use military force to stop them from gaining this capability — and a limited strike on Syria will do nothing to change their mind.
Up to this point, President Obama and his Administration have not done a credible job in demonstrating strength of conviction in the region and a face-saving tactic such as sending cruise missiles into Damascus now isn't going to change that. Military action will only bring hardship and danger to our troops and allies. For these and many other reasons that I have heard expressed by many of you, I do not believe it is in our national interest to take the military action currently proposed by the President against Syria.

Construction Codes Coordinating Board
In March 2009, the Mayor established the Construction Codes Coordinating Board (CCCB) to replace the Building Code Advisory Committee (BCAC). The CCCB is charged with "reviewing and updating the Construction Codes for the District of Columbia to meet present-day demands for adequate and safe construction and maintenance of new and existing buildings and structures."
The composition, purpose, scope and procedures of the CCCB are set forth in Mayor's Order 2009-22 (February 25, 2009) (the "Mayor's Order") and/or the By-Laws of the CCCB, adopted August 2009, as may subsequently be amended. Subject to the foregoing, the CCCB procedures may be modified by the CCCB as necessary to facilitate the Board's activities. (The Mayor's Order and the By-Laws are posted on DCRA's website.)
The CCCB is an uncompensated 13-person board with members appointed by the Mayor to terms of three years. The Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs provides the CCCB with administrative and staff support.
In considering adoption of the I-Codes and reviewing code change proposals, the CCCB considers relevant criteria and policies including:
- Minimum performance standards and requirements for construction and construction materials, consistent with nationally accepted standards of engineering, fire, and life safety;
- Unique District of Columbia characteristics, policies, or statutes;
- The use of modern technical methods, devices, and improvements;
- Elimination of restrictive, obsolete, conflicting, duplicative, and unnecessary regulations and requirements; and
- Standards and specifications for making buildings and facilities accessible to and usable by physically disabled persons.
Regular CCCB meetings are held monthly, and special meetings may be scheduled more often. Dates of CCCB meetings are published in the DC register and posted on the DCRA website. Unless announced otherwise, all meetings are be held at 1100 4th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20024.

Women's Soccer Suffers First Loss of Season at Carson-Newman
September 5, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, T.N. -- The 17th-ranked Carson-Newman women's soccer team won its fourth-straight match on Saturday night by shutting out Pfeiffer, 3-0, at McCown Field. With the win, the Lady Eagles improve to 4-0 on the season, while Pfeiffer drops to 1-1-1. C-N outshot the Falcons 18-2 on the night, including 12 shots on goal.
Despite being on the attack for most of the first half, the Lady Eagles managed just one goal before heading into the locker room. C-N found success in the 26th minute, as Sandra Kaelin (Switzerland) fired a shot into the right corner of the net past Pfeiffer keeper Suzie Hinman to give the Lady Eagles a 1-0 lead.
C-N put the match away early in the second half by scoring two goals in the first 13 minutes. Nikki Brannen (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.) gave the Lady Eagles a 2-0 lead as she dribbled past Hinman and placed the ball in the back of the net in the 51st minute.
The Lady Eagles pushed their lead to 3-0 less than six minutes later, as Morgan Gruenenfelder (Sweetwater, Tenn.) finished off a pass from Brannen in the 58th minute. Hinman tallied nine saves on the night, while C-N goalkeeper Lauren MacKenzie (Barrie, Ontario) collected two saves.
The Pfeiffer Lady Falcons will return home on Wednesday afternoon against USC-Aiken. The festivities will begin at 4:00 p.m.

As a Wisconsin MBA student, you join a close-knit community. The first and most important community you join will be your classmates—within your specialization and across your cohort.
In your first semester, you will get to know students throughout the program, taking the core curriculum in a cohort with students from a variety of areas. At the same time, through your career specialization, you will interact with classmates who share your passion for your chosen field through specialized coursework and a wide range of center-based activities.
There is much more to being a Wisconsin MBA student than just attending classes. Almost two-dozen student organizations offer opportunities for learning, leadership, and networking. Some relate to specific industries, while others are based on common interests, and still others are simply a way for students to enjoy their time together.
The Graduate Business Association (GBA) represents all Wisconsin MBA students. It coordinates a popular golf outing and annual Spring Ball. It hosts talks by noted business leaders and sponsors student-led community service projects. GBA organizes teams of Wisconsin MBA students who compete in everything from local marathons to the infamous "Polar Plunge" on behalf of Special Olympics. GBA holds a special place in the heart of students by hosting TAPS, (also known as Thursday After Professional Services) a long-time Thursday night tradition, in which Wisconsin MBA students relax and unwind together at a variety of downtown clubs.
Community building begins before your first class. All entering students attend a week-long orientation program called the Wisconsin MBA Experience. You will have the chance to meet your classmates at a variety of social events and team-building exercises.
The Wisconsin MBA Experience aims to sharpen your skills in important areas such as business communication, strategy, and teamwork prior to the start of classes. Optional sessions on mathematics are highly valued by those wishing to strengthen their quantitative skills.
As important as the learning opportunities during the Wisconsin MBA Experience are, many students recall it most as the starting point of strong friendships with classmates that last long past graduation.
The Wisconsin School of Business has established the Joint Venture Club to provide graduate students, and their spouses, partners, significant others, and/or children a social network of support. Because family and partners are an integral part of a student's experience in Madison, the club works to foster community and help ease the transition to Madison.
The club's board currently sends out a weekly email outlining the variety of activities that are open to significant others and families. In addition, the club hosts several events each semester, such as happy hour/mixer events, a visit to the New Glarus Brewery, and a tailgate for the Spring Football game (these are examples from the Spring 2011 semester).

It's hot out there! And if your Golden Retriever or long-haired kitty seems to suffer when the mercury rises, you might feel some temptation to break out your grooming tools and give your pets a full shave-down. We get where you're coming from.
But wait! Put down those clippers! According to experts, you'll be doing your pet a disservice. Here's why:
- While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
i shave mine every 6 weeks. she sleeps better and on her bed. when I do not shave her she sweats and sleeps on the travertine floor and at 10 I notice her slowness after just one day so shave it is. I also leave hair to cover skin so when in sun she is protected. I manage her exposure carefully. I can tell you she is noticably happier shaved and have had 3 groomers say best thing to do as long as not shaved to skin!
Nor are vets groomers -- and they are not all knowing. I have several vets available to my rescues because I learned that each one seems to do better with different issues. I got 3 different diagnosis and treatments offered for the same pet. Luckily, one vet correctly diagnosed the problem, provided the least expensive treatment, and the problem resolved quickly. However, he miss diagnosed another pet's illness on the next visit. So I have a variety of 'experts' to choose from and my rescues benefit and my wallet is relieved. The difficult part for me is to decide which vet to choose. Gratefully, many of my rescues have been 'saved' by this attitude, since many were dumped/thrown away because of the existing ailment.
" I have several vets available to my rescues because I learned that each one seems to do better with different issues."
Several vets. You don't take your rescues to a groomer for a vet diagnosis.
Well I hava a Himalayan and she is 14 years old, she has arthritis, and problems grooming herself....my VET told me he thought it might be better if she were trimmed and cleaned regularly...amazingly she is doing MUCH better soooooo long story short it should be up to the pet owners since it seems vets have varying opinions on grooming...just saying!
Teri, I have two Himmy's and there never outside so I try to keep them groomed yr. around. The hair all over everything is unbearable if I don't , and no amount of brushing makes a difference. My only problem is finding a groomer who can do it. The last one I took them to couldn't finish them up because they were flopping around so much she was afraid they'd hurt theirself. It still cost $110. Their feet weren't done and I know thats important as I can see it when they walk. Never should of got them when they were offered to me.
Hi Sue - my sister and I have been grooming for over 20 years...we love and understand cats and many people have come to us when other groomers couldn't do their cats. We've also done many cats which other groomers have had to sedate because they deemed them aggressive. If you'd like to try us, we're in St. Bruno 450-441-4539. Our price is between $46 and $50/cat.
Cindy :)
I had a Honeybear perisan for 20 years and there was one groomer that got rid of her carpet every spring. Really, along in April it started to come lose like a carpet and no amount of brushing did any good before that. She always said Abby was so easy to work with and Abby was so much happier after she go her winter coat off. She stayed inside most of the time and within a couple of weeks she had a nice coat coming back. It takes a special groomer to groom a cat, someone that really loves working with them.
I 'm a CAT OWNER/ (BUT Had DOGS.. TOO) And I HAD A BIG BREED, MAINE
COON CAT THAT I ANNUALLY GOT "TRIMMED" ( LIKE Someone Else SAID "NOT LIKE A POODLE - RINGS SHAVE ").

(WE CAN NEVER REALLY PREDICT WHEN /WHERE A CAT OR DOG WILL "CHOOSE US" OR THE HOME STYLE WE'LL HAVE WHEN THEY DO.) YEARS AGO I HAD A (Dog) BeChon...their fur is SORT Of A "LOOSE POODLE." I DIDN'T .. GET JAKE ANNUALLY (SUMMER WEATHER) TRIMMED AND WALKED JAKE AT NIGHT ..IN (Sun was setting /Gone) The KANSAS CITY Night Air. I THINK IT IS VERY "CARE"-LESS /THOUGHTLESS FOR The Pet's WELLBEING, TO.. "CIRCUS - RING SHAVE" ANY ANIMAL...NOT JUST POODLES (Which Began in EUROPE, For ROYALTY ) BY THE WAY..ALL MY CATS Have Been & ARE INDOOR CATS..AWAY FROM "HARSH, UNSHADED" SUN( Except the 2 Boy, Ferrel Cats I FEED IN MY Or "THEIR" BACK YARD With 3 doghouses / CATsized ENTRIES )

Strengths: Well made, look cool, easy to use.
Weaknesses: Large battery, not as bright as many competitors
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: November 22, 2011
Strengths: Great system for riding at night. The dual lights can be angled and adjusted to meet my needs. I used to bike to work in the winter when it was totally dark, this system made the commute not only safe but possible. Where I live there are NO street lights, so dark is dark. With these lights I could see every bump and hazard early enough to avoid it. It's simple to charge and held it's charge well. Easy to remove the battery pack when it wasn't needed. Has High,medium and low modes to save battery power.
Weaknesses: It was a wee bit of challenge to put all the components on my bike, but the instructions are clear.

Weaknesses: Battery
Customer service
Bottom Line:
I called Blackburn hoping to at least get a discounted replacement battery...again, nothing. I was told that the warranty expired on the battery after one year and that they didn't even make the product any more. One year after I bought the system new and they no longer support it? Seriously? Wow. I will make it a point to steer clear of any Blackburn products in the future.

Date Reviewed: September 26, 2010
Strengths: The lights look well produced with plenty of thought put into a versatile package. They clamp fimly onto the bars and perform well giving out plenty of light when using both lamps on full beam although you probably need to supplement them with a helmet lamp if hacking it fast on technical terrain. Great in the woods but on their own not for fast downhill.
Weaknesses: The battery! It is bulky and although used infrequently it stopped accepting a charge after only 20 uses. Also you cannot use both bar and helmet mounts at the same time. Product support is poor and Blackburn have dropped it from their website.

Date Reviewed: February 15, 2010
Strengths: Great be seen light with mild see where you are going.
Weaknesses: Battery, handle bar clips and wires. First battery was doa and it took about a week for return shipping from blackburn to get it working. Life is okay, if you don't run on full brightness and both lights. I'll get from frostburg to cumberland on the highlands trail with enough power left to go on for about eight miles down the C&O Tow Path but by then it's starting to dim to the lowest level and that's about maybe two hours with both lights. Handle bar clips... depending on the flat/riser bar you need to really tighten down the clamps and in cold winter temperatures if you don't carefully loosen them you'll break the plastic when the screw snags it. Kind of user error but it broke with minimal force so...... Using this on my other bike a DB Peak hardtail it works for the first part of the trip, when I've set it up in the house. After school in the cold even with tight/loose and the same tension for some reason the wires are so weak it doesn't turn on, during the ride it might but then shuts off. Having it on the Specialized Epic is no problem, it works......but the setup to tether the battery to either frame is a pain.

Weaknesses: battery life
"outdated" LED's
Bottom Line:
The speced battery life doesn't meet the stated value at all. I got 50 mins @ 100%, 1h12 @ 70% and 3h15 @ 30% out of this battery. So I shipped it back to Jensonusa for a full refund (6 months after purchase! 5 chillis to Jenson).
I intend to get the X8 system (with Li-ion battery) and mod the LEDs to more powerful ones. I'll post a review on that later.
Decent value for the money if you don't ride longer than 1h at the time.

I would have thought it was a fluke, except for the fact that the other 2 guys I told to buy these lights with me, got the exact same results.
Fortunately, we were riding with a guy who had a good set of lights and was able to share his light with us to get us off of the trail we were stranded on.
Hopefully JensonUSA will take them back when I go to return them today, I will let you know if they don't.

T-DOME: Last Man Standing FINAL ROUND
The Last Man Standing Thunderdome has finally come to the last showdown of the event after 10 excruciatingly long months. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible... artists who gave up their free time to jump into the chaos that this event that promised nothing other than a good time. Oh, and keep a look out if you are interested in jumping into the next LMSTD, it's coming very soon...
Unfortunately resident art monster Dan Milligan has just been absolutely swamped in the last month preparing for E3, so understandably he wasn't able to participate. I want everyone to give Dan a huge friggin' hand, because if you've been watching this dome from the beginning you know he's been bringing some amazing pieces to the table consistantly round after round.
So, that leaves two finalists to battle it out in our final round: steak-tron vs JasonChan. Without further ado, what we've all been waiting for...

Both pieces are marvelous! Great work guys, for being the ones last standing! I can't decide which one I like more, both are so great...! I love the depth (the room itself) and lighting of Steak's pic, love the dramatic settings and colors of Jason's pic... and deep down I wish you guys had a couple of more days to get them properly finished off! And that Dan could have submitted something as well

my vote is for chan's, even though i doubt that it matters.
both are cool, but steak-tron's has some figurative problems for me on the guy lying on the couch.
that guys looks like he's supposed to be lying face up, according to his pants, but the upper body gets really confusing and i can't stop staring at it. (sorry)
he looks to be twisted at the torso with his head almost facing down, although after alot of looking it's most likely supposed to be going to the side.
but the arm on our right on this guy is so high up it doesn't look right with his positioning.
plus i really like the mood in chan's better anyway, but both very well done especially for both of you being swamped with other things!

Misenheimer, NC---Pfeiffer' s baseball team opened their 2007 season with a 9-3 win over Lenoir-Rhyne Friday afternoon. Chris Russell picked up the win in relief after throwing three scoreless innings. Falcon Hayes Hinson reached base four times, on a hit and three walks, and scored twice.
All nine Falcon starters reached base during the game, with six different players scoring. Hayes Hinson, Tyler Smith and Ryan Brown each scored twice for the Falcons.
