Tai chi helps reduce stress and anxiety. And it also helps increase flexibility and balance.
If you're looking for a way to reduce stress, consider tai chi (TIE-CHEE). Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.
Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.
Tai chi, also called tai chi chuan, is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise and stretching. Each posture flows into the next without pause, ensuring that your body is in constant motion.
Tai chi has many different styles. Each style may have its own subtle emphasis on various tai chi principles and methods. There are also variations within each style. Some may focus on health maintenance, while others focus on the martial arts aspect of tai chi.
Tai chi is low impact and puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. In fact, because tai chi is low impact, it may be especially suitable if you're an older adult who otherwise may not exercise.
You may also find tai chi appealing because it's inexpensive, requires no special equipment and can be done indoors or out, either alone or in a group.
Although tai chi is generally safe, women who are pregnant or people with joint problems, back pain, fractures, severe osteoporosis or a hernia should consult their health care provider before trying tai chi. Modification or avoidance of certain postures may be recommended.
When learned correctly and performed regularly, tai chi can be a positive part of an overall approach to improving your health. The benefits of tai chi include:
Some evidence indicates that tai chi also may help:
Although you can rent or buy videos and books about tai chi, consider seeking guidance from a qualified tai chi instructor to gain the full benefits and learn proper techniques.
You can find tai chi classes in many communities today. To find a class near you, contact local fitness centers, health clubs and senior centers. Tai chi instructors don't have to be licensed or attend a standard training program. So be sure to ask about an instructor's training and experience, and get recommendations if possible.
A tai chi instructor can teach you specific positions and how to regulate your breathing. An instructor can also teach you how to practice tai chi safely, especially if you have injuries, chronic conditions, or balance or coordination problems. Although tai chi is slow and gentle, with virtually no negative side effects, it's possible to get injured if you don't know how to do tai chi properly.
Eventually you may feel confident enough to do tai chi on your own. But if you like the social element, consider sticking with group tai chi classes.
While you may get some benefit from a 12-week tai chi class, you may enjoy greater benefits if you continue tai chi for the long term and become more skilled.
You may find it helpful to practice tai chi in the same place and at the same time every day to develop a routine. But if your schedule is erratic, do tai chi whenever you have a few minutes. You can even practice the soothing mind-body concepts of tai chi without performing the actual movements when you are in a stressful situation, such as a traffic jam or a tense work meeting, for instance.

Over on the L.A. Times music blog, Jeff Weiss talks up Bowser, the debut release on Alpha Pup Records from Angeleno beatmaker Jonwayne. The album's trippy sound is described as "melding the smoke-scarred dizziness of [Intelligent Dance Music] with faded 16-bit videogame melodies."
Weiss: "Hewing to an almost all-instrumental sample-free bent, Wayne splashes woozy synthesizer against tense tiptoeing drums. His goal is to conjure the pressure-wracked moments that preceded childhood video game victories — the heart palpitations that ensued when you finally reached the boss level, the soaring euphoria when you dispatched a giant animated Koopa that had an unnatural fixation for trapping princesses."

Shame on this Syrian actor and most especially SHAME on his wife NIVEEN. This couple should be punished, especially his wife for all the tortures that she has done to their helpless maid. Why are MAJORITY of ARABS are so DISRESPECTFUL of human dignity? They should not be allowed to have maids or helpers in their household. They don't know how to treat people of lower economic status humanely. They feel and act as if they are above the level of these helpless people from poor countries. SHAME ON YOU SAMER!!! SHAME ON YOU NIVEEN!!! The two of you should be punished and jailed.
Ok GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. Just because we're arab, it doesnt mean we're disrespectful to human dignity. WHO KNOWS what the story behind this actually is and you have no right to point fingers. "not allowed to have maids?" These women become maids out of their own free will, they arent forced to come to syria or lebanon to be maids. Get your facts right bitch. Its sad to see that some people are sooooo ignorant. It has nothing to do with race or culture. & If you actually step into an Arabic country, you may actually see that some people treat these maids as if they were part of their own family. You dont know if this woman actually fabricated the whole thing or this is true.
He told Al-Arabiya that the maid escaped after she was questioned regarding stolen items and she jumped from a small window 15 meters high to escape and then the idiot contradicted himself by saying that no one was at home when she escaped. If she was alone why would she escape from a high window when she could have walked out the door ?
Scenario 1 - He beat her up after he discovered the missing items but that is probably a lieand nothing was stolen.
Scenario 2 - He beat her up and threw her out the window.
In any case he should be locked up but knowing Arab justice, she will be jailed or deported and he will have to pay some baksheesh.

Cat Skin Disease
Cat Skin Disease (Feline Skin Diseases)
Signs and Symptoms
Cat skin diseases are extremely prevalent and are one of the most common reasons behind veterinary visits. There are numerous forms of feline skin disorders and a myriad of different causes that give rise to such problems. Skin diseases can be extremely uncomfortable and irritating for your pet, and sometimes they are a sign of infection. For these reasons, it's important to treat feline skin problems as early as possible so that your pet's health and comfort are protected.
Since there are so many different types of cat skin disease, the symptoms and warning signs are not always the same from case to case. However, while certain forms of feline skin problems are characterized by unique symptoms, many warning signs are shared commonly amongst several different skin diseases. A healthy cat has clean, odorless skin that is free of grease, dandruff, and other debris. A healthy cat will also not show signs of skin irritation. In contrast, a cat suffering from skin disease will likely exhibit signs of irritation as well as other symptoms. Some of the most frequently displayed warning signs include red and/or swollen skin, hot spots, and itchiness. Typically, one or more of these symptoms will be associated with a cat with some form of skin problem. Depending upon the particular type of skin disease present, other more specific warning signs may also be displayed.
For example, flea allergy dermatitis is one of the most common types of feline skin disease. This is basically a type of skin disorder that results from a cat's allergic reaction to fleas. While the typical signs of red, itchy, and hot skin are usually exhibited, other symptoms may be present as well. These include compulsive biting and excessive scratching, especially around the head, neck, and above the tail. As a result of this intense scratching, hair loss and bald spots may occur. Furthermore, the itching experienced by a cat suffering from flea allergy dermatitis tends to be seasonal rather than year-round. In contrast, food allergies are the most common culprit with respect to continuous, year-round itchiness in cats. Once again, in addition to the general warning signs of feline skin disease, food allergies can also cause more unique symptoms, such as vomiting after meals.
There are also numerous other forms of feline skin disease that can cause additional symptoms. Bacterial and yeast infections, for example, can cause a bad odor. Furthermore, certain fungal infections such as ringworm can cause flaky, crusty skin and hair loss. While many feline skin disorders trigger several more specific symptoms in addition to the common, general warning signs of skin disease, the specific cause of the disease may not be readily apparent in all cases. However, there are several steps a veterinarian can take in order to narrow down the possibilities and identify a culprit.
When a cat is suffering from skin irritation, a veterinarian will conduct a physical examination in order to check for clinical signs that may point to a specific type and/or cause of the animal's skin disease. Your cat's skin and fur will be checked for the presence of fleas, flea dirt, mites, lice, and dandruff. At this point, the veterinary doctor will also want to know about the symptoms and behaviors that you, as the pet owner, have observed at home. In some cases, clinical signs will provide sufficient information for the practitioner to make a diagnosis. For example, the specific location of the skin irritation and the presence of fleas on a cat can confirm a suspicion of flea allergy dermatitis. In some circumstances, however, further testing may be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis. With respect to flea allergy dermatitis, this can involve a skin test that will reveal the type of immune response that flea proteins trigger in your cat. Moreover, in other cases, testing will be necessary in order to reach a diagnosis, as clinical signs will not provide sufficient definitive information to pinpoint the specific type and cause of the feline patient's skin irritation.
Some tests that may be employed in order to reach a specific diagnosis in a case of feline skin disease include a histology or cytology, which involves examining a sample under a microscope. Hair cultures, fungal cultures, and skin scrapings are also common diagnostic tools. A bacterial infection can generally be identified through the use of cytology while fungal infections may be identified through a culture of the cat's hair, cytology, or a fungal culture. Furthermore, certain types of mites are visible in skin scrapings that are examined under a microscope. Occasionally, a skin biopsy may also be helpful. As a result, there are a number of different tools and tests that a veterinarian can use in order to narrow down the type of skin disease affecting your cat and to discover the particular cause of your pet's irritation.
A basic understanding of skin anatomy and healthy function can be helpful when trying to understand skin diseases. A cat's skin is its largest organ and is incredibly important. It provides protection, acting as a barrier between the internal and external environments. While providing a shield against harmful substances such as parasites, skin also carries out other functions such as regulating body temperature. Due to its external location and exposure to the surrounding environment, skin is very vulnerable and particularly prone to experiencing injury and disease. At the same time, this location also makes skin diseases more noticeable than most internal disorders.
A cat's skin is made up of several components, including cells, glands, hair follicles, nerve endings, capillaries, and blood vessels. The skin is also divided into layers. The top layer is the epidermis, which is the protective layer, and beneath the epidermis is the dermis. The dermis contains pain and touch receptors as well as sweat glands, oil-producing glands, and hair follicles. This layer also consists of blood vessels which provide the skin with nutrition. Underneath these two layers of skin is a layer of fat that helps to provide the cat's body with insulation.
When skin disease is present, irritation is triggered either by an allergic reaction or an infection. In the case of an allergic reaction, histamine is released in the cat's body at the affected area, causing the dilation of capillaries. This dilation then increases blood flow to the area, resulting in increased warmth, inflammation, and itchiness. Feline skin disease can cause mild symptoms or severe symptoms, but nearly all forms of skin disorders cause at least some discomfort and irritation for cats.
The possible causes of cat skin disease are very numerous, as are the different types of skin disorders. Some common causes include allergies — such as environmental allergies and food allergies — hypersensitivity to internal parasites, autoimmune diseases, nutritional disorders, and hormonal disorders. A variety of different types of infections can also trigger skin disease. Such infections include bacterial, fungal, and yeast infections. Sometimes these infections are the primary cause of a cat's skin disease and other times they arise as a secondary infection triggered by the presence of another skin disorder. For instance, ringworm is a type of fungal infection that is transmitted to a cat through direct contact, either with another infected animal, with infected grooming equipment, or with a part of the environment that has been occupied by an infected animal. This type of fungus is typically a primary cause of cat skin disease. On the other hand, when a cat suffers from flea allergy dermatitis, the intense scratching and increased temperature of the skin may give rise to a secondary bacterial or yeast infection. This is due to the fact that bacteria and yeast grow very well on unhealthy, warm, and inflamed skin. Thus, there are many different potential causes of feline skin disease, some of which can cause both primary and secondary skin problems.
The treatment necessary for an individual cat's skin disorder will depend upon the type of skin disease present and its cause. Where the skin problem is secondary to another medical condition such as a hormonal disorder, that underlying illness will need to be taken care of. In the case of certain bacterial infections, antibiotics may be required. Special medicated or soothing shampoos can also have a healing effect for a cat suffering from a bacterial skin infection or other skin disorder.
Natural products and formulations can also provide relief for cats with skin problems. Ointments containing natural ingredients have a variety of beneficial properties that can help to soothe irritation and promote healing. For example, natural substances such as marigold and coneflower have anti-inflammatory properties and also stimulate the healing process. Coneflower also has antibacterial properties. Other helpful natural substances include lemongrass oil and aloe, which are effective against fungal infections. Natural products use a variety of such ingredients in order to provide many great benefits and much-needed relief for cats suffering from skin disorders.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
In June 2003, I finished receiving IMRT for prostate cancer. My PSA readings since then fluctuate between 0.5-2.0, but go up and down, not a consistent rise in the level. My pretreatment PSA was 3.1. I assume from the readings that the cancer has not been eradicated. Can you give me your judgment on how serious my situation is, and what steps, if any, you would suggest? Thank you.
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Serum PSA level is a sensitive tool for diagnosing prostate cancer, but less sensitive at following prostate cancer after radiation treatment. In fact, a number of conditions can make the PSA level rise. The most common besides tumor are prostate infection (I have seen PSA 's over 50 in young men with gonorrhea), trauma (PSA can go up, although not by much, after riding a bicycle and sitting in the seat) and ischemia (lack of oxygen caused by decreased or blocked blood flow, thought to be the mechanism for the PSA bounce that is seen after brachytherapy).
Keep in mind that the normal prostate gland produces PSA, it's just that less of it is leaked into the blood than when there is prostate cancer. After radiation, the free- PSA is not helpful because the radiated gland leaks PSA just like cancer. So, unlike a post-prostatectomy PSA, the result after radiation is not usually zero. I would suggest watching the value and not worrying until the PSA gets to 3. Although, in the case described above, the tumor did not make much PSA initially (given his pre-treatment PSA of 3.0), so it may be difficult to distinguish what's normal and what represents disease recurrence.
Apr 19, 2013 - For older men with abnormal prostate-specific antigen levels, performance of prostate biopsies is uncommon and decreases with advancing age and worsening comorbidity, according to a study published online April 15 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

SWANSBORO — Swansboro senior midfielder Julianna Tucker still has the state soccer championship ring she earned for being on the Pirates' 2010 championship team.
But that doesn't mean she wears it these days.
"I actually don't wear it a lot during soccer season," Tucker said. "I don't know. I have this weird idea that it's bad luck."
However, it's a sure bet that Tucker would certainly wear a new title ring if Swansboro (22-5-1) defeats South Iredell (22-2) today in the NCHSAA 2-A championship game at Dail Soccer Stadium at N.C. State University.
The final kicks off at 2 p.m.
Tucker is joined by senior midfielders Brenna Kate Grass and Ashley Neal as the only holdovers from the Pirates' 2010 squad that won its second consecutive title and third overall since 2006.
For these players, returning to the final has seemed like an eternity.
"Oh, yeah, it does," Grass said. "It definitely seems like a long time."
Still, these three seniors hope their experience from three years ago helps them going into this year's title game. They have seen what it takes to win and want to relay that message to their younger teammates.
"I think it's going to be big for the team," Neal said. "I know they all look up to us since we have the experience in this game. We have told them how great it feels and I know they want to get that, too."
Grass, Neal and Tucker have already shared different stories with their team. Coach Doug Kidd has seen that and he hopes it bodes well today.
"They have been sharing their experiences with the younger players leading up to this match and just giving them good advice," he said. "They have told them what will happen down in Raleigh."
Meanwhile, the Vikings are in the final for the first time in program history. South Iredell coach David Basinger said his team is "fortunate to be" here.
"We've had some great breaks go our way through the playoff run," he said. "I think what I'm seeing is more excitement (from his team) more than anything. This group of seniors has really done something special and it is well-deserved to get to this final game. We are really pleased to have a chance to play a team like a Swansboro."
While it's not a first for Swansboro, the Pirates still don't exactly know what will happen come game time, although Grass said the seniors' experience will help them be more prepared against the Vikings.
"I think it's going to make us less nervous and so it's going to make us be able to pump them up better," she said. "When we talk before the game starts and on the bus, we will try to pump them up instead of focusing on nerves."
And then the Pirates can direct their attention on trying to do what they have been doing, which is playing well on both sides of the pitch.
Swansboro enters the final having outscored its five postseason foes 27-0, including 4-0 win at Roanoke Rapids on Tuesday in the East Regional final.
Not too bad, although the Vikings have outscored their playoff foes 14-0, including three 1-0 victories.
"Winning 50-50 balls was definitely a big factor (on Tuesday)," Grass said. "We have been passing a lot more and making much better passes to feet and making better combinations. We know where each other is going to be now.
"At the beginning of the season it was hard because we don't all play together, but I feel like we are getting into a groove and we know where people are going to be."
The Pirates are led offensively by sophomore forward Kimberly Moore (39 goals, 13 assists), Grass (22 goals, 11 assists), freshman midfielder Tylor Ring (16 goals, 16 assists), Tucker (13 goals, 13 assists) and junior midfielder Katie Causey (9 goals, 11 assists).
Swansboro has scored at least three goals in a game 15 times.
"I think we just need to work together as a team," Neal said. "I think we are really combining well during the games. We need to keep working hard as a team because we have been doing that."
Swansboro's defense has certainly done its work, too.
The efforts of junior goalkeeper Roxanne Green, sophomores Kanani Thomas and Haley Stewart and freshman Abby Taylor have helped the Pirates record nine consecutive shutouts.
However, Swansboro has the daunting task of trying to defend South Iredell senior forward Miracle Campbell, who has 29 goals and 15 assists. Campbell, who will be playing for Pfeiffer next season, is the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference player of the year.
"She is a speed merchant," Basinger said. "Really what her best asset is is her speed."
Campbell is complemented by senior midfielder Ashlyn Pierce (15 goals, 17 assists) and physical junior midfielder Courtney Boger (2 goals, 8 assists), who has committed to Winthrop.
Freshman Kayla Noon scored the Vikings' goal in a 1-0 win over Forbush on Tuesday in the West Regional final.
"I think we are going to have to be really quick off the ball on defense," Basinger said. "We can't give them a lot of time. I think both of … (teams) are good in transition and that's going to be the key."
And what does Kidd think?
"Any team we run into in the state final is going to have a good side. They deserve to be there," he said. "I know that David Basinger has done a great job building back South Iredell. When I first started coaching at Watauga, South Iredell was a pretty good force to be reckoned with.
"And then they kind of slid off when Lake Norman opened up. But he's brought back the passion and the pride to that school and they are playing some great soccer."
But so are the Pirates and they hope their good play continues in the state final.
"It's a life experience," Stewart said. "When you look back on it, you want to say that you won a state championship."

Many people these days are looking for ways to save money and eat healthier. Many are daunted by the idea of shopping and cooking from scratch, and yet this is exactly what's needed to really eat well and get the most value for your food dollar. Luckily, meal planning and preparation are not really as challenging as the fast food and processed food industries would have you believe. In this article, we will share some ideas for planning and preparing healthy dinner recipes to save money and improve your health. Read on to learn more.
Start out by just saying no to fast food and processed food. These types of food like substances contain little nutritional value and end up wasting your food dollar and costing you money in terms of health care. Instead, look for simple ingredients that are as close to their natural state as possible. Meats, fish, dairy products, (or non-animal based protein sources) fresh produce and whole grains make up a complete, balanced diet that will keep you healthy. Try approaching learning to cook as a new hobby. Cooking well takes some study and experience, but it is far from impossible and you don't have to be a gourmet chef to produce excellent meals.
At the outset, be sure to invest in a basic set of high quality cookware and utensils. Having good equipment to work with will make all the difference in the world in your results and your level of satisfaction with your accomplishments.
One thing you will learn as you study healthy dinner recipes is how to plan for the right amount of food for the people you will serve. When you are cooking for health, you should pay attention to both the contents of the food and the amount served. For example, plan for your meat servings to be approximately four ounces or the size of a deck of playing cards. This may not seem like much; however, you will be happy to know that truly healthy eating involves eating a whole lot of fresh, delicious veggies. You can fill your plate with steamed veggies and/or salad as long as you don't drown your side dishes with commercially prepared, processed sauces!
When planning your veggie and salad sides for your healthy dinner, be sure to plan a colorful array. The idea today is to eat a rainbow for good health. Your salads should contain green lettuce, red tomatoes, purple beans, black olives, cream colored chickpeas and more for complete health, nutrition and visual interest.
Remember to include whole grains in your your diet. You can also add a side of brown rice, couscous, whole grain bread or some other whole grain selection. The basic idea is to have half of your meal made up of fresh produce, a quarter made up of lean protein source and a quarter made up of whole grains. This configuration can form the basis for a wide array of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals.
Add healthy, non-hydrogenated oils to your diet in the form of peanut oil for cooking and flax seed and olive oil for salad dressings and to spread on bread. If you have issues with peanuts then you'll probably want to check out peanut-free recipes. Coconut oil is also good for this and to use in hot cereals such as old-fashioned, whole oatmeal. Be careful not to eat processed or hydrogenated oils (such as margarine).
For desserts, enjoy fresh fruit and non-processed, natural yogurt or homemade, simple ice cream.
To begin learning to cook healthy dinner recipes for meal planning, you will want to master the basics of cooking. Purchase a good, basic cookbook and/or watch online videos to learn how to boil, sautee and steam. These are the basic essentials to cookery. Of course, there is much, much more to learn, but once you have these basics down you can actually cook a wide variety of foods. Before you know it, you will be following recipes with ease and even creating your own healthy dinner recipes.

Instrument cluster displays tend to fail, especially the clock and gear indicators. Our technicians tell us the instrument cluster will require replacement to correct this issue.
2000 Mercedes-Benz E430 Problem Reports
Most Reported 2000 Mercedes-Benz E430 Problem Reports
A malfunctioning HVAC blower motor regulator can cause the blower motor to operate below the requested speed or not at all. Updated regulators are available; the blower motor and cover need to be replaced at the same time to upgrade the system.
A squeak from the steering column is often related to a rubber boot in the column or a seal in the power steering rack.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.
Brake lamp housings can melt, resulting in a loss of contact for the brake light bulb holder. If this happens, the brake light will not work. Replacement of the damaged lamp housing should correct this problem.
Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.
The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.
The switch for the vanity mirror light above the sun visor fail; there is an updated switch for some models. On the remaining models, due to a redesign, the mirror "cassette" will need replacement.
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the lower control arm bushings cracking, resulting excessive movement at the control arm pivot point. Ball joints can also wear out prematurely, causing similar tire wear symptoms. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
The bushings for the shifter lever wear out to the point where they break and fall out. This causes excessive movement (loose feel) in the shifter lever and a clanging-type noise when changing gears.
Failed spark plug wires and/or ignition coils can cause intermittent misfires (rough running); the Check Engine Light may also illuminate. Diagnoses of the ignition system will be necessary to determine which components are at fault.
High mileage vehicles may develop a leak from one or more of the transmission oil seals.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
PSE system, voice control module, or Tele Aid module failure can cause a lack of audio. These same modules can also cause dead battery conditions when they fail to "time out." Many electronic control modules are active even when the engine is off. If these modules stay active, they will drain the battery, which is why they have a timer built into the modules. The timer shuts down the modules after a preset amount of time (timing out). If a module does not time out, it will stay active and drain the battery.

NORFOLK-- The Norfolk-based guided missile destroyer USS Porter returned to Norfolk Sunday with the USS Enterprise Carrier Strike Group.
For the first time, the ship's sailors spoke about being struck broadside by a Panamanian-flagged, Japanese-owned oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Aug. 12.
USS Porter Damage Control Assistant Lt. Shaun Geary said it was a shock.
'Everybody remained calm and cool and I think that's the biggest takeaway from this. Our training was so effective, and we're so good at what we do, that it's kind of like going through the motions, saving our ship and saving our shipmates,' said Geary.
The sailors say it took about two hours to control compartment flooding. Once that danger passed, the ship proceeded to the United Arab Emirates, where it was out of commission for about seven weeks. It underwent about $700,000 worth of repairs, according to the Virginian-Pilot.
None of USSPorter's 270 crew members were hurt in the accident, but the commanding officer did lose his job. It was announced on Aug.30 that Cmdr. Martin Arriola had been relieved of duty, due to a lack of confidence in his ability to lead.
The new captain, Cmdr. Dave Richardson, reports that the Porter is now 'fully capable,' but, 'I wouldn't say it's as good as new.'
Richardson said upon the ship's return to Norfolk Sunday, 'The repair that was done was a voyage repair to get the ship operational to come back to the continental United States. But, there are certain repairs that need to be done to get back to specifications, so we'll do those as part of our planned availability next year.
USSPorter is also scheduled to receive upgrades to its ballistic missile defense system in preparation for its homeport shift to Rota, Spain in 2015.

- The Food and Drug Administration has a poor reputation, harming its ability to attract top scientific talent. That's the main conclusion in a new report from the Partnership for Public Service. The report says scientists don't see FDA as a place they can innovate, compared to agencies such as the National Institutes of Health. The report also says criticism from Congress and regulated industries hurts FDA recruitment and retention. Still, the report says FDA has made progress thanks to a hiring roadmap it started developing in 2010. (Partnership for Public Service)
- Would-be presidential management fellows can spend the Thanksgiving weekend touching up their applications. That's because they've been given an extra week. Applications are now due Monday, Nov. 26. Not that the process has gotten any easier. A notice on the program's website says the multi-phase process takes patience and endurance. Last year, the fellows program received 9,000 applications. Only 630 became finalists. The class of 2013 finalists will be notified next March. Then they'll attend a job fair in Washington. (Presidential Management Fellows)
- Chairman Martin Dempsey says there's good reason to ask whether the joint chiefs of staff is distracted by recent tales of misconduct by senior officers. The Pentagon has demoted a four-star general for misusing travel money and it's put others' careers on hold pending the results of investigations into Marine Gen. John Allen's relationship with a Tampa socialite. But in a blog post, Demsey says: no, military leaders are not distracted because they cannot afford to be. He says they're concerned but committed to learning and adapting. Dempsey says service members and their families' well-being remains the chiefs' top priority. (DoD)
- A federal panel is recommending HIV testing for all Americans between the ages of 15 and 65. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force believes universal testing will slow the spread of AIDS. The Task Force is made up of outside experts who work through the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The recommendation is open for public comment until Dec. 17. The task force says more than a million people in the United States have HIV, but 25 percent of them don't know it. That increases the risk they can spread the disease to sexual partners. (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force)
- Congressional leaders say they could strike a deal by Christmas to avoid sequestration. Details are emerging from that meeting Republican and Democratic leaders had Friday with President Barack Obama at the White House. Democratic staff describe a short-term fix to the National Journal. GovExec reported they said they're banking on a bill that has already passed the Senate. It holds tax rates steady for families with less than $250,000, but the wealthy would have to pay more. They said they would work toward entitlement reform next year. Republicans have not ruled this idea out, but they said silence doesn't mean they support it. Leaders may meet again as early as Friday.

VERSAILLES – An industrial accident Tuesday at Codino's Limited Inc. claimed the life Versailles resident Allyson Mescher, 37, an employee of nearly five years, according to Versailles Police Department Chief Mark Humphreys.
"She had talked to a coworker and said she was going to the bathroom, but was going to check the extruder to see if any product was going down the line. A coworker said she went to check on her and found her," Chief Humphreys said.
He said that they knew who she was at the scene.
"We got the call at 1:41 (p.m.), so it happened just before that," he said.
"The family was notified yesterday afternoon — the immediate family, her mother and stepfather and one step brother."
The call for help went out to local emergency services on Tuesday that a worker was caught in an extruder and that it was a possible death. The extruder was used in food processing for the pasta manufacturer.
Codino's didn't want to release her name until notifying the family.
"We haven't ruled anything other than an industrial accident and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is doing their investigation and they're back today," Chief Humphreys added.
OSHA has confirmed that they have opened an investigation of the fatality and has investigators on the site.
"We're gathering information to determine what might have happened," said Scott Allen, OSHA spokesman. "What OSHA is going to do is talk to the employer, employees and potential witnesses and what occurred there at the incident and if the company was following all of the proper procedures."

Women's Lacrosse Wins Conference Matchup at Mount Olive
April 3, 2014
MOUNT OLIVE, NC – A three goal spurt in a 1:50 span in the second half propelled the Pfeiffer women's lacrosse team (9-2, 3-0 CC) to a 9-5 victory at Mount Olive (9-3, 3-2) on Thursday afternoon. Ashleigh Kassab recorded a hat trick, with her third score of the afternoon giving her 30 on the season.
Mount Olive held a slim 29-28 advantage in shots in the contest and took a 25-17 edge in ground balls. Pfeiffer won nine of 15 draw controls on the afternoon with five coming from Katherine Athens. Mount Olive went just 1-for-6 on free position shots while Pfeiffer converted on their only attempt.
Cassidy Wilson earned the win in goal as she made 16 saves and allowed only five goals.
Mount Olive scored first this afternoon when Katie McGovern beat Wilson just under eight minutes into the contest. Athens would set up Pfeiffer's first score of the day as she assisted on Sarah Daly's tally with 19:23 left in the half. Kassab's first goal gave Pfeiffer a lead but Mount Olive answered 7:02 later. Kassab responded 40 seconds after the Trojans evened the game, which turned out to be the game-winner. With 24 seconds left in the half, Kristi Korn scored a huge goal to send Pfeiffer into the break with a 4-2 advantage.
The lead was extended to 5-2 on Stephanie Athens first goal of the game off an assist from Kayla Bedwell. However, Mount Olive struck for two goals in 1:53 to make the game 5-4 with plenty of time to play.
Mackenzie Rolland, Korn and Kassab each scored in the aforementioned 1:50 to give Pfeiffer a commanding 8-4 lead with 9:06 left on the clock.
Britton Muir's caused turnover and ground ball pickup directly led to Korn's score and Katnerine Athens won the ensuing draw control that Kassab later put in the back of the net.
The Trojans briefly cut the lead to three but Rolland put the game out of reach as she scored with 1:28 left with the assist going to Katherine Athens.
Katherine Athens led the way with seven ground balls and also caused four of Pfeiffer's six turnovers on the day.
Wilson was excellent in net and improved her conference-leading save percentage to .618 with her 16 saves.
Pfeiffer returns to action Saturday afternoon as they host Erskine at NE Lefko Field. The game is scheduled to begin at noon.

If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist (1a)
Objective moral values do exist
Therefore, God Exists
The above is an argument. It has two premises and a conclusion. The first premise is: "If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist." The second premise is "Objective moral values do exist." and the conclusion is "God exists."
The conclusion does validly follow from the premises via the rule of Modus Tollens (more on this later, if needed), not Modus Ponens.
More to the point, though the above argument does have (1a) as a premise, it is crucial to recognize that (1a) is not the same as the argument in which (1a) occurs. Obvious, right? The above argument contains much more information than (1a) by itself.
Why is this important? For many reasons. Perhaps the most important is that a person can believe that (1a) is true and yet believe that the second premise and the conclusion are both false. That is, believing that (1a) is true does not commit one to believing that either the second premise or the conclusion are true.
Here is an analogy:
Premise i: If there is life on Mars, then we are not alone in the universe.
Premise ii: There is life on Mars.
Conclusion: We are not alone in the universe.
I can believe Premise i and still maintain that Premise ii and the conclusion are both false. Right?
Another example:
Premise i: If there is life on Mars, then we are not alone in the universe.
Premise iii: We ARE alone in the universe.
Conclusion: There is no life on Mars.
Again, I can believe that Premise i is true and still maintain that Premise iii is false and the conclusion is false.
So, it is crucial to distinguish between a conditional statement and an argument in which the conditional statement occurs as a premise. You have been confusing the conditional statement (1a) with an argument in which it occurs.

Baseball Brings in Manderino and Odean to Assist Coaching Staff in 2012
August 8, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University head baseball coach Mark Hayes announced the hiring of Mike Manderino and Josh Odean who join the Falcon baseball coaching staff as assistants for the upcoming 2012 season. Both coaches bring experience with big leaguers to Misenheimer in previous coaching campaigns.
Coach Manderino begins his first year as the Falcons pitching coach, after spending two seasons as the pitching coach for the Asheboro Copperheads in the Coastal Plains League. Coach Manderino has 19 years experience as an educator and baseball coach starting in high school as a teacher and coach. After a stint as an assistant coach at Pittsburg State University and Fort Scott Community College in Kansas, Coach Manderino moved to California and spent nine years as an assistant at Porterville College and College of the Sequoias.
In 2001, he was also chosen to travel to Europe as part of the Major League Baseball Envoy Program. Coach Manderino has also been an associate scout for the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox. An opportunity to coach in Italy later came in 2007 as he spent a year in Verona.
In addition to handling the pitching staff, Coach Manderino will assist in recruiting and fundraising activities for the Falcon Baseball Program.
Coach Odean begins his second season with the Falcons after spending 2011 as a volunteer coach with the Falcons. His playing career started at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas before finishing up at nearby Winthrop. When his playing eligibility had ended, Coach Odean stayed at Winthrop for an extra semester to finish up a Bachelor's Degree. During the summer months, he assisted Coach Hudak with the maintenance of Winthrop's baseball field and acquired internship hours by umpiring, coaching, and maintaining youth baseball fields for the City of Rock Hill, South Carolina.
In 2003, he returned to school and earned a Masters Degree from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. While working towards his Masters, Coach Odean earned internship hours with Vanderbilt University and Belmont University in the Strength and Conditioning Departments working with 12 different sports.
After completing his Masters in Sport Administration, a position with the Detroit Tigers came along as a Minor League Strength and Conditioning Coach in Lakeland, Florida. While working with Detroit, he oversaw all aspects of the Lakeland Tigers conditioning, lifting and nutrition programs. Along with fulfilling obligations to the Lakeland Tigers, the opportunity to work with big-league players on the disabled list was also present by assisting in the rehabilitation programs designed by team physicians.
