Monitors often will be attached to your body to allow your health care team to monitor your breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. You may receive a sedative medication through a vein in your forearm. This medication helps you relax during the endoscopy.
Your doctor may spray an anesthetic in your mouth to numb your throat in preparation for insertion of the long, flexible tube (endoscope). You may be asked to wear a plastic mouth guard to hold your mouth open. Then the endoscope is inserted in your mouth. Your doctor may ask you to swallow as the scope passes down your throat. You may feel some pressure in your throat, but you shouldn't feel pain.
You can't talk after the endoscope passes down your throat, though you can make noises. The endoscope doesn't interfere with your breathing.
As your doctor passes the endoscope down your esophagus, a tiny camera at the tip transmits images to a video monitor in the exam room. Your doctor watches this monitor to look for abnormalities in your upper digestive tract. If abnormalities are found in your digestive tract, your doctor may record images for later examination.
Gentle air pressure may be fed into your esophagus to inflates your digestive tract so the endoscope can move freely and the folds of your digestive tract are more easily examined. The air can create a feeling of pressure or fullness.
Your doctor will pass special surgical tools through the endoscope to collect a tissue sample or remove a polyp. Your doctor watches the video monitor to guide the tools.
When your doctor has finished the exam, the endoscope is slowly retracted through your mouth. Endoscopy typically takes five to 20 minutes, depending on your situation.
Once you're at home, you may experience some mildly uncomfortable signs and symptoms after endoscopy, such as:
These signs and symptoms will improve with time. If you're concerned or quite uncomfortable, call your doctor.
Take it easy for the rest of the day after your endoscopy. You may feel alert, but your reaction times and judgment are delayed after receiving a sedative.

Safety Study of Raltegravir in HIV/HCV Co-infected Patients

- How to Read a Study Record
Current European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) guidelines for the treatment of HIV infection recommend a combination antiretroviral regimen composed of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors plus a ritonavir boosted protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors licensed for naïve patients - nevirapine and efavirenz - have both been asociated with increased rates of hepatotoxicity (nevirapine) and CNS toxicity (efavirenz) in HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Although PI-based therapy has dramatically reduced morbidity and mortality, it has been limited by complex dosing regimens and toxicities, leading to adherence challenges. Varying degree of liver insufficiency may necessitate pharmacokinetic monitoring of the protease inhibitor and may necessitate dose adjustments. In HIV/HCV co-infected patients HAART based on another class of antiretrovirals than NNRTI or PI may thus offer advantages with regard to adverse events and thus long-term efficacy.
The overall intention of this trial is to examine in a non-inferiority design the safety and efficacy of a raltegravir based HAART with a standard-of-care HAART in HIV-/HCV co-infected patients. The standard of care used in this study will be atazanavir/ritonavir. All patients will in addition receive a fixed combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine.
The primary end-point is the rate of hepatotoxic events, defined by ALT elevations.

The cornea is the eye's most powerful structure for focusing light; it also protects the rest of the eye from injuries and microbial pathogens (such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses). However, the cornea itself is susceptible to infections, inflammation, injuries, and genetic conditions that can disrupt corneal function and cause vision loss. According to the World Health Organization, corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, and alleviating this global burden is dependent not only on elucidating disease mechanisms and improving therapeutic approaches, but also on increasing access to ophthalmic care. The Cornea Center of Excellence has made significant contributions in all of these areas; it brings together the world's largest and most esteemed group of scientists and physicians dedicated to:
- Understanding corneal biology
- Developing treatments for corneal conditions
- Improving access to sight-saving treatments
Basic science and translational investigations are conducted in the following areas:
- Corneal angiogenesis
- Corneal imaging
- Corneal infection and inflammation
- Corneal transplantation
- Dry eye disease
- Inherited corneal disorders
- Keratoprosthesis
- Novel surgical approaches

An Onslow County man on trial for double murder in the alleged drunk driving deaths of two passengers last year walked away from the wreckage, leaving his friends' bodies in the road and family members trapped in the car, a witness testified Wednesday.
Christopher Cash, 28, is on trial for two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of 49-year-old Jerry James Jackson and 24-year-old Kevin Nigel Embles. Jackson and Embles were thrown from a car Cash was driving when it crashed on
After testimony from a paramedic who worked the wreck, Assistant District Attorney J.B. Askins called
O'Hara, a 29-year-old floor cleaner, testified he was the first person on the scene of the wreck. He said the engine was still running when he looked inside an overturned Volkswagen Jetta and saw a female passenger with an 18-pack of beer on top of her. He tossed the beer aside and pulled the woman out the window.
"She was drunk," O'Hara testified.
The woman was Cash's fiancée, Chauntelle Leigh Wann. Cash and Wann were married four months after the wreck.
Cash's brother Jeffery Cash was also in the car. He and Wann were treated and later released from area hospitals.
When a deputy with the Onslow County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene, Cash walked away, O'Hara testified, adding that he couldn't communicate with the deputy that Cash was the driver of the wrecked vehicle.
Cash "was cursing and began to walk off when deputies started to arrive ... he got into a cab," O'Hara said, adding that the cab had stopped due to the crash.
Cash — dressed in a blue shirt and tie, dark slacks and Timberland-style boots — sat the defense table with his head resting on his left hand during O'Hara's testimony.
Cash's attorney,
O'Hara said the interpreter he used during his initial interview with investigators was to blame for the differences.
Askins asked O'Hara whether he could identify Cash in the courtroom as someone who was at the scene of the wreck. O'Hara answered that he pulled Cash out of the Jetta, and that Cash left the scene.
Cash was charged by the N.C. State Highway Patrol with driving while impaired and two counts each of second-degree murder, felony death by motor vehicle, felony serious injury by vehicle, felony hit and run causing serious injury, failing to give aid to passengers and failing to report an accident.
A nurse and a state forensic scientist testified Cash's blood alcohol content was 0.10 in a sample taken four hours after the wreck. The legal alcohol limit to drive in
Popkin attempted unsuccessfully during pretrial motions to toss out the blood alcohol evidence.

The choral director stood at the podium, hands raised, expecting from his singers what he always expected from them: hard work.
Even if some 50 years have gone by.
Robert L. Day looked out at the group of singers, many of them grandparents, and saw "a really great group of kids."
"I still think of them as my kids," Day said.
And they still admire him as their teacher, the man who taught them so much more than music when he was their choir director at Bolsa Grande High School in Garden Grove, from 1959 to 1965.
So they traveled from across the country this week to Orange County to reunite for the ninth – and last time – as the R.L. Day Chorale. It's a final tribute to the retired teacher many of them said left a lasting footprint in their lives.
"He taught us to be the best you can be, hard work is worth it and believe in yourself," said Pam Opdahl Spalding, a Dana Point resident and retired teacher who worked at El Toro High.
"We had discipline, a feeling of worth and purpose, an identity, and we cared about each other," Spalding added. "That is obvious today. We still love each other. We're a family."
The singers are now 65 to 70 years old. And Day is 84.
They tracked each other through social media and Internet searches for their first reunion and concert in 2004. Last year's reunion, which was to include a tour in Georgia, like the old days, was canceled because Day had a stroke. On Sunday, after a week of daily rehearsals, lunches and getting reacquainted, they will sing at 2 p.m. at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach.
At one of their rehearsals this week, the memories were spread out in displays and on a table.
The well-worn scrapbooks – one for each school year – contained mementos from their tours: a sugar packet from Oregon, a stub from the time they performed before Vice President Richard Nixon at Knott's Berry Farm, and an article from a 1962 edition of the Orange County Register, saying that for the first time in its history the State Senate took a 15-minute "music break" to take in a performance by the Bolsa Grande High choir.
There were the mementos from one of their highlight trips: the time they traveled to Seattle for the World's Fair, one of a handful of high school choirs to receive the honor. The covers of the albums they recorded were up next to black-and-white photos: portraits of pretty girls wearing identical dresses and black gloves and the handsome boys in their black tuxes, bow ties and white kerchiefs in their front pockets. The choir was considered the best in the county and one of the top-ranking in the West, according to Garden Grove resident Linda Lehman, whose father was on the school board in the 1960s.
Randy Cloud, a pastor near Palm Springs, remembers, "My knees were shaking" when he tried out for the concert choir. It was done in front of the entire group. And there was an interview too.

This isn't the most photogenic of posts, but one of the dirty secrets of writing cookbooks is the dishes. And this season, as the cavalcade of cooking tips comes tumbling forth in anticipation of all the holidays – and the cooking and baking that go along with them – this is the best tip I've ever been given.
Most of you probably know how many dishes to takes just to bake a simple cake: a stack bowls, a mixer and the whip, a gaggle of spatulas, and for my fellow Americans, a bunch of measuring cups and spoons. Now imagine if you made that same cake three times in a row, making a few other sets of dishes dirty. Then did it again.
In spite of that fact that I have a real dishwasher, I spend a few hours each and every day washing dishes. It's funny because when friends call and ask me if I'm free for dinner, sometimes I have to decline because I have to work, and they don't seem to understand that part of my "work" is washing and/or putting away dishes and pots and pans. It's a cycle that's part of my life and when I left the restaurant business, being able to hand off a bustub full of dirty dishes to someone else was something I missed a lot. (If you ask anyone who is the most important person in a restaurant kitchen, even more than the chef, it's the dishwasher.)

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Cobbler Apron:
I have many of these cobbler aprons and I like them very much. It is a daily part of my wardrobe all year long. They can help carry my lung spray, cell phone anything to keep me from having to run up and down the stars more than I have to. Unfortunately, the one that was sent to me is a 1X, NOT the Large that I ordered. I will still wear it as it is the holiday patch and I want it for Christmas.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Idea!
By NanaSharon

I like being able to put the apron on like a sweater rather than over my head. The snaps work well and I like the pockets, too. I was a little disappointed that it ran on the small side so there's not much wiggle room.

In the case of these fashionable ladies (and one guy), their fictional closets are as dream-worthy as their actual outfits
Closet Porn: [n.] unbelievably amazing closets that you can't stop looking at; closets usually packed with fun clothes, shoes, and other fashion must-haves; the viewing of a closet that fills you with happiness ... and subsequently, envy.
While you may not have known the official(ish) definition of the term closet porn, there's no doubt you've come across it at one point or another. Closet porn is why you drool every time Carrie Bradshaw gets ready in her galley style closet, or freak out when Cher starts grabbing clothes from her conveyer belt rack. Great closets are fun to look at, even if they only exist in an imaginary universe.
Click here to see the best movie closets to raid.
Sure, you can watch old episodes of "MTV Cribs" or "Keeping up with the Kardashians" to get your fix, but the best closet porn really comes from the movies. Here's why: Money can't buy you class ... to quote the Countess from "Real Housewives of New York City." Being rich doesn't automatically mean good taste -- hence the plethora of "Scarface" posters, stripper poles, and gold plated toilets on "Cribs." BUT, in the movies, closets are constructed by interior decorators and filled by costume designers. They play on your most amazing closet fantasies ... in an entirely tasteful way.
If you're a closet porn addict, get excited. We're about to show you the best movie closets of all time.

What is the prognosis for people with yellow fever?
The prognosis for individuals who develop uncomplicated yellow fever is generally excellent. However, for those patients who go on to develop the toxic phase of yellow fever, case-fatality rates range from 15% to more than 50%. If death occurs, it is typically within 10-14 days after the onset of the toxic phase. Infants and those older than 50 years of age tend to have more severe disease and higher mortality rates. Furthermore, host susceptibility and the virulence of the particular infecting strain can also influence mortality rates. In those individuals who survive yellow fever, generally there is no residual permanent organ damage.
Can yellow fever be prevented?
Vaccination remains the most effective way of preventing yellow fever. The yellow fever vaccine has been used for several decades, and it is a safe vaccine with only rare serious adverse events reported. It is a live virus vaccine that provides immunity for 10 years (and longer) after a single dose. It provides immunity against yellow fever in 95% of individuals within one week of its administration. A booster dose is recommended every 10 years for those individuals at risk for continued yellow fever exposure. The vaccine is available for adults and children older than 9 months of age. It is recommended for travelers to areas where yellow fever is endemic and to local populations who are at risk. Several countries require travelers to demonstrate proof of yellow fever vaccination status for entry in order to prevent the importation and transmission of yellow fever. Check with your local health department for information regarding designated yellow fever vaccination centers.
Effective mosquito-control measures are also an important component for preventing or minimizing the risk of yellow fever. Avoiding mosquito bites by wearing protective clothing (long sleeves and long pants) and remaining in properly screened or air-conditioned accommodations is recommended. Furthermore, applying insect repellant containing DEET or Picaridin on exposed skin is advised.

What does this type of pill do?
This type of pill helps keep your blood glucose from going too high after you eat, a common problem in people with diabetes. It works by slowing down the digestion of foods high in carbohydrate, such as rice, potatoes, bread, milk, and fruit.
Who should not take Glyset or Precose?
Talk with your doctor about whether to take this type of pill if
- you have bowel disease or other intestinal conditions
- you have advanced kidney or liver disease
- you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding
What are the possible side effects?
This type of pill doesn't cause low blood glucose by itself. But your risk of having low blood glucose goes up if you also take
- diabetes pills that cause low blood glucose
- insulin
Your doctor may ask you to take a lower dose of your other diabetes medicines while you take this type of pill.
Taking Glyset or Precose may cause stomach pain, gas, bloating, or diarrhea. These symptoms usually go away after you have taken these pills for a while.
If you take Glyset or Precose: What you need to know about low blood glucose
If you take Glyset or Precose, only glucose tablets or glucose gel will bring your blood glucose level back to normal quickly. Other quick-fix foods and drinks won't raise your blood glucose as quickly because Glyset and Precose slow the digestion of other quick-fix foods and drinks.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsMay 1, 2013
by Gary Alan Miller and Katherine Nobles Part 5 of 5
Throughout our five-part "Innovation in Times of Change" series, we have focused on factors that can help career centers be better positioned to innovate, based on our 2012 study that fielded more than 600 responses. We also asked respondents to document some of their innovative output and the obstacles that prevent them from innovating more.
It is no surprise that the top two obstacles expressed by our survey respondents were budget constraints and lack of time. As higher education professionals, we know there is never enough of either. The other obstacles identified in our survey were not as universal, but are still thought-provoking. We were surprised to find that the third most common obstacle referenced by participants was "boundaries established by people outside of your office." Facility constraints and limited technological capabilities round out the top five impediments cited.
We posit that the three capabilities of climate, leadership, and process that have been outlined in our prior articles are significant factors that allow some centers to overcome these challenges. It is important to recognize that the group self-identifying as producing more innovation than other centers (which we refer to as the "more group") did report the most innovative output. Although they made up only 33 percent of the respondents to our study, they were responsible for 50 percent of the reported innovative output in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 academic years. Those who self-identified as producing less innovation and the same amount of innovation compared to other centers are respectively referred to as the "less group" and "same group."
As seen in the chart below, the "more group" had the highest "all affirmative" rankings across the three capabilities, with 63 percent in climate, 49 percent in leadership, and 33 percent in process. The "same group" had 51 percent "all affirmative" responses in climate, 24 percent in leadership, and 18 percent in process, while the "less group" had 21 percent in climate, 17 percent in leadership, and 7 percent in process.
While our study does not attempt to prove causation, we feel comfortable stating that the data shows a clear connection between the three capabilities and the amount of innovative output developed in a given center.
However, it is also important to recognize that centers from all three self-identifying groups did produce new programs, services, and technologies during this period of time. The study revealed that our field implemented approximately 1,600 new programs, services, or technologies for students, and around 600 new programs, services, or technologies for employers between 2010 and 2012. The specifics of these new programs are varied and interesting, but also too numerous to outline here. Those interested in reading more can visit the website associated with our study and review the wiki pages dedicated to lists of examples.
It is noteworthy, however, that of these 2,200 new initiatives, only a small percentage was reported as being brand new to the field. Specifically, only 4 percent of the new offerings for students and 4.5 percent for employers were noted as being new to the field. This indicates that we are leaning very heavily on "best practices" from our colleagues. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this method, it does reveal a narrow approach to and capacity for truly innovating our services.
We have enjoyed sharing some of the results and recommendations from our study with you over the course of this article series. If you are interested in learning more, we would love to see you at our session at the 2013 NACE Conference and Expo. We will also each be presenting at the 2013 Innovation Forum for Career Services in August. As always, you can explore the data of our study on the companion website at http://innovation.web.unc.edu.

NEWORLEANS - The Super Bowl landing in the middle of parading made Carnival 2013 a very busy and memorable time. All of that came to an end on Wednesday as many ushered in the new season of Lent.
At midnight police marched down Bourbon Street to tell revelers that Mardi Gras was officially over.
Ash Wednesday Mass at St. Louis Cathedral began at 7:30 a.m.
Father William Maestri celebrated the first of three to be said.
'There will be a noon Mass here at St. Louis Cathedral celebrated by Archbishop Aymond, after which ashes will be distributed to the faithful, as well as those who wish to participate in that part of the ceremony. It's not, of course, limited to Catholics. Many non-Catholics also receive ashes during this particular beginning of this holy season of Lent for the next 40 days, aiming, of course, towards Easter,' Maestri said.
The third Mass will be said at 5 at p.m.
Catholic churches across the city are holding Masses in honor of Ash Wednesday.

Click below to hear the report
By Jared Serbu
Federal News Radio
Leaders of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) cut the ribbon Friday on their new 95-acre, $500 million headquarters complex, a facility that will eventually consolidate the workplaces of thousands of Defense employees from a half dozen locations into just one.
Both of Maryland's U.S senators and Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown joined Lt. Gen. Carroll Pollett, DISA's director, in a ceremony before several hundred dignitaries and invited guests at the new campus at Fort Meade, halfway between Washington and Baltimore.
The ceremonial opening comes at the midpoint of a move that is taking DISA several months to complete as it transfers 4,600 employees from several worksites around the national capital region to the new 1.1 million square foot, seven-building complex.
"It meant significant dislocation of people to move here. I want to acknowledge that," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.). "This wasn't just packing up a storefront at a strip mall and moving to another one. You had to be able to do it at the same time we're at war. And the cyber war, both the attack on the United States and the military infrastructure that supports it, is an ongoing war. I think we need to salute our military leadership, our civilian leadership and our contractors here."
The new site puts DISA on the same military installation as the Pentagon's newly-created U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency. Pollett told reporters the three entities had been working to standardize their software and systems to work together more efficiently, and the co-location would further that goal.
"We tried to optimize the latest technologies and best practices in the industry right now so we could be more efficient in terms of how we utilize technology," he said. "In the past, we used technology in a very stovepiped fashion. We've tried to be sure that what we established here was state-of-the-art. We're utilizing thin client technology and we're trying not to rebuild data centers and infrastructures inside of this facility. We're leveraging external facilities in terms of how we get our services and I think that's where you'll see this investment taking us."
The IT investment in the new facility is significant. DISA estimates that roughly 20 percent of the cost of the new campus was for IT infrastructure alone - even after accounting for the cost of DISA's separate water supply, multiple redundant electricity supplies, and its own dining facility, training center, fitness center, conference center, and advanced monitoring and building control systems.
The Defense Department relocated DISA to Fort Meade in the round of decisions made by the military's Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) commission in 2005. Along with a large expansion at Aberdeen Proving Ground and the merger of Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center into Bethesda Naval Medical Center, the DISA move meant Maryland gained more Defense personnel from the current BRAC round than any other state.
By law, all BRAC moves resulting from the 2005 decision must be made by Sept. 30. Pollett said DISA would beat that deadline by a month as it continues a transfer process that the agency began in January.
"Today we have 1,700 professionals that have closed in on this location here at Fort Meade," Pollett said. "By the end of the month we'll bring 600 more in. We've already closed down two buildings in the national capital region and turned them back over. We're moving approximately 200 people every other week, working through the weekend to get them moved to this location and be operational while they do it. We're moving 58,000 square foot labs, running split operations to ensure that we're still responsive to the warfighter in terms of keeping capability available to them for decision making."
Even as it conducts the physical relocation, Pollett said DISA also was doing some internal restructuring to the agency's workforce.
"We redefined and reprioritized over 1,000 duty positions for civilians in this organization to better define what our requirements were for the future and the skill sets that are required to meet that challenge as we move more and more into a cyber environment," Pollett said. "We increased our intern program to over 400 interns. I consider that an investment in the future."
DISA officials said they expected they would end up losing some staff who were unwilling to make the lengthy commute to Fort Meade from northern Virginia, but Pollett said the agency estimated that more than 40 percent of its workforce already was living in Maryland, some having relocated already and some being new hires.

GARETH DUNCAN reports that eight KZN schoolboys were found out to be over age following a provincial investigation.
Last Friday, keo.co.za's Schoolboy Derby revealed the names of two high-profile 1st XV players who were over the allowed age for the school, provincial and national junior teams they represented. They are Glenwood's captain and wing Siyabonga Tom and DHS fullback Mbembe Payi. Both players featured for KZN at the U18 Craven Week last year, while Tom was selected for the 2011 SA Schools squad. They have since been expelled.
Following these findings, the KZN High Schools Rugby Association started a provincial investigation.
KZN head of high school rugby Noel Ingle said their probe is still ongoing, but confirmed that eight over-age players were caught.
'There were 320 schoolboys who took part in the U16 and U18 provincial trials. From that group, we found out that eight boys were over age,' Noel told Schoolboy Derby. 'Most of those players were a year too old. There were three serious cases, where one player was actually 22 years old. Saru and Sasra [South African Schools Rugby Association] will determine their punishment.
'Today I can say that all the school teams in the province are clean,' he continued. 'I am relieved that we have sorted out this mess, but in the same token, I am disappointed that this has happened.
'We are now trying to find out who the guilty parties are. The schools are not the issue. To the lesser extent, the players are accountable, but the main problems are the scouts and agents involved, who have probably played a big role in organising fake identity documents. We hope to have this matter sorted out over the next couple of weeks – preferably before Craven Week [9-14 July].'
Ingle added that he believes this is a national problem.
'I don't think this is an issue within the KZN province only,' he said.
WP manager of youth rugby Theo Kleynhans argued that all unions should check their junior provincial trialists through Saru's database before a final squad is selected.
'In my 17 years here at WP, I haven't encountered one major over age issue,' Kleynhans told this site. 'This is because we use Saru's identity checking services, which is made available to all unions.
'When we have a provisional squad of 40 players, we already start gathering the necessary information and send all the names through to Saru. Other provinces should do the same to avoid any issues.'

I have a Canon G7 and a Canon 40D.
I've only had the dSLR for 2 months, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it (well, some of it). Can take good shots with the G7 as I've had it for much longer and know where everything is. Really enjoy using the 40D though, it's great quality.
I usually take the 40D when I know there'll be a lot of photos taken, but throw the G7 in the bag if I just want a camera with me in case.

MEBANE — Eastern Alamance pitcher Gracyn Allen-Ingle was focused on not surrendering a walk Wednesday night.
The junior said that was her goal for the game, a semifinal in the Mid-State 3-A Conference Tournament for softball.
So when first baseman Mandi Ballard made a running catch near the Eagles' dugout to close out a 14-0 victory in five innings against McMichael, Allen-Ingle had accomplished her goal.
In fact, Allen-Ingle hadn't allowed a base runner, retiring all 15 batters she faced, including six strikeouts.
"I didn't realize that. I've never had a perfect game," Allen-Ingle said. "I mean, I've had no walks (in a game). I think I've maybe had a one- or two-hitter."
Eastern Alamance (19-4) advances to the championship game of the tournament, which will be played Friday. The Eagles await the winner of today's game between Williams High School and Western Alamance.
Allen-Ingle needed 59 pitches to complete five innings, with 42 of those going for strikes. The closest McMichael was to having a base runner came on a fly ball off the bat of Brianna Joyce, but Caroline Patterson caught her drive on the run in the right-center field gap.
There were a couple of lengthy at-bats of 10 and seven pitches to begin the second and third innings for the Fighting Phoenix (7-16), but that didn't bother the Eagles ace.
"I'm kind of that pitcher that sometimes gets down in the count, then I'll have to work my way out of it," Allen-Ingle said. "I have confidence in myself, my catcher (Ashley Ammann) and my pitching coach that I'm going to get her out. It doesn't really frustrate me. … It doesn't get to me, that's kind of the thing that I have had to develop."
Allen-Ingle had more than enough run support from an aggressive offense, just as coach Danny Way likes to see.
"We hit a lot of 0-2 pitches. We don't protect, I always use the word attack," Way said. "So we're attacking at any count, it doesn't matter what count it is."
That much was evident when Paige King led off the bottom of the first inning with a homer over the left- field fence on the third pitch she saw.
"It was right down the middle, it was just a fat pitch. It's one of those that you just kind of look at it and right when you hit it, you know it's gone," King said. "I feel like whenever we get a big hit at the beginning of any game or even an inning, it starts everybody off."
Eastern Alamance added another run in the first when Milayn Dark roped a two-out RBI single to score Ballard.
King went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI. Ballard went 2-for-3 with three runs scored. Ammann and Ballard each hit RBI triples in the second inning, with a third run scoring on one of four McMichael errors.
After the Eagles were silent offensively in the third inning, they erupted for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth.
The mid-inning explosion goes along with a season-long trend for Eastern Alamance.
"The first time through (the lineup), a lot of times we look like we've never hit before," Ballard said. "But then the second time through we're all killing the ball. I think it's just a mind thing. We just are mentally trying to get focused and ready for the game and we're a little nervous to jump on them quick."
King said: "It normally comes for us around the third inning. We just have one inning that, after we get in our groove a little bit, we just all kind of jumpstart and everything falls together."

Love it! Team is wonderful.... Dr Blanchard, Dr Toogood, and Andrea. Very gental and caring. They are all about the patient. Great Job! Great sense of humor!
Considering nobody enjoys dental work, the experience provided by Dr. Toogood, Andrea, Tracy, and the entire staff was very positive and made as comfortable as possible. Everyone was very helpful and caring. The process was explained fully, and the environment made pleasant. Andrea followed up later in the evening to make sure everything was OK. Thanks to the entire staff of Half Dental.
I've been to a few other dentists in town, but Dr. Rowe and Half Dental are my dentists now. Everyone is friendly and professional. Only time will tell the long term quality of their work, but that is true of the other dentists as well. But the initial care and attention were superior, so I expect that work will be as good or better than their competitors. It is a relief to find a professional you feel you can trust.

. . . I think early education on this stuff can help a lot. . . .
That's a fine goal to shoot for, but unless you have a specific plan in mind that would allow the kind of education you're talking about, it will never happen. Lots and lots of problems are solvable through early education. My own pet peeve is that at least in the U.S., children are taught in school to be production workers and easily-swayed consumers rather than skeptical thinkers and wise purchasers. Through changes in education, our children might at least partially become able to see through all the deception aimed at us via products and their advertisers, including politicians. But K-12 education as I envision it on a large scale—parallel to what's done in Waldorf and other progressive schools—is not going to happen within my lifetime, if it ever does.
Do you have anything specific in mind that will move the world to see the value of your goal? I offered one possibility, which utilizes the courts but it would be expensive and very well might not work at all. It would probably be a waste of money, but at least it's something specific. Saying that early education will accomplish your goal is not specific or at all realistic.

Right now there are 387 people signed up for BG AMS. 28 states are represented so far and ON Canada. Better hurry up if you have'nt signed up yet.
From the PDGA forum
This is VERY IMPORTANT INFO!!!
Each divsion will be capped at 360. There will be a max 360 Adv. and 360 Int/Rec with Int/Rec being counted as one. Once those fill that is that. If you sign up Int/Rec and find out that it hit the 360 mark then you either have to drop out or pay the extra money and play Advanced. There will also be NO pool shuffle except for Top 2 pools (A and B) so this will make it easier for everyone who needs rides and wants to play with buddies.
For those of you who may need to hit the road after the tourney, you will have to wait until after the Adv. final 9 before any results are posted, and we will be going down the list with winners first and so forth.
Course Update!!!
Phil Moore MAY NOT be used if bad weather floods the course, and Chalybeate may be put into the shuffle instead. This may also cause the courses for each divison to change.
Activities throughout the weekend will be doubles events on Friday and Discraft will be hosting a driving contest, INNOVA a putting contest. If I can remember more info I'll be sure to keep everyone updated!!!!

Groovy SQL
This section some content from this http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-pg01115.html?ca=dgr-lnxw07GroovySQL article, by Andrew Glover. If some of the references to JDBC don't make sense, don't worry. There is one new language construct that is used below, which is the inclusion of variables in string definitions. For example try the following:
As you can see, in a string literal, Groovy interprets anything inside ${} as a groovy expression.
This feature is used extensively below.
Performing a simple query
Your first Groovy SQL code consists of three lines.
The first line is a Java import. It simply tells Groovy the full name of the Sql object. The second line creates a new connection to the SQL database, and stores the connection in the variable sql.
This code is written for a jTDS connection to a MS SQL Server database. You will need to adjust all the parameters to newInstance to connect to your database, especially '''username''' and '''password'''.
Finally the third line calls the eachRow method of sql, passing in two arguments, the first being the query string, the second being a closure to print out some values.
Notice that in the closure the fields of "it" are accessed in two different ways. The first is as a simple field reference, accessing the id field of it. The second is the included Groovy expression mentioned above.
So the output from a row might look like:
Doing more complex queries
The previous examples are fairly simple, but GroovySql is just as solid when it comes to more complex data manipulation queries such as insert, update, and delete queries. For these, you wouldn't necessarily want to use closures, so Groovy's Sql object provides the execute and executeUpdate methods instead. These methods are reminiscent of the normal JDBC statement class, which has an execute and an executeUpdate method as well.
Here you see a simple insert that uses variable substitution again with the ${} syntax. This code simply inserts a new row into the people table.
Note that in this example you have to put quotes around any string data in the insert statement. This is generally not a great way to do things (think about what happens if your data contains a quote character). A better way to do the same thing is to use prepared statements as follows:
The data that you want to insert is replaced with "?" in the insert statement, and then the values are passed in as an array of data items. Updates are much the same in that they utilize the executeUpdate method. Notice, too, that in Listing 8 the executeUpdate method takes a list of values that will be matched to the corresponding ? elements in the query.
Deletes are essentially the same as inserts, except, of course, that the query's syntax is different.

Chris Hemsworth of 'Thor' Is a God Among Men – The Daily Swoon
Who do you get to play the God of Thunder? Probably a dude who looks like Chris Hemsworth — the kind of guy some ancient civilization would have built a statue to honor.
On the big screen, the Australian actor plays Thor in 'The Avengers' and in his own movies (there's a new one coming out soon!), and you may have seen him as the jock-y guy in 'Cabin in the Woods' last year or as the huntsman in 'Snow White and the Huntsman.' He's a got a deep voice and killer blue eyes and the kind of hair you can totally get jealous over, which makes him perfect to play the hero type.
If you keep up with celebrity news, you may also know Chris as the guy who's about to become Miley Cyrus' brother-in-law — she's engaged to his brother Liam.
Anyway, Chris used to star on an Aussie soap opera called 'Home and Away' before showing off his dance moves on his home country's version of 'Dancing with the Stars.' His first big Hollywood role came in 2009 when he had a small part as Chris Pine's dad in 'Star Trek' — and casting those two as father and son? Brilliant. Sexy people make sexy people, you know. It's science.
Right now Hemsworth is hard at work making a sequel to 'Thor,' which will hit theaters this November.

Comments about Lezyne Phone Wallet:
I ride both road and mountain and after getting a new phone I felt like I wanted something that I could carry the phone in that would offer a bit of protection. I also wanted to stop using plastic baggies to hold my cards and my cash. This wallet is well-made and has just the right number of spaces for cards plus a small pocket I use for cash. There is a zippered pouch that my phone (HTC Windows phone 8x) fits into very snugly. I'm happy with the way the wallet works - my only complaint is that it feels a little bulky in a back jersey pocket at first, when I'm on the road bike. On my mountain bike I use a hydration pack and just throw the wallet in there, which works great.

Comments about Lezyne Phone Wallet:
Fits nicely in a jersey pocket. I've carried both an iPhone and a Galaxy S without a problem. You can use the touch screen okay through the plastic, but it's not ideal. It's easier to just take the phone out of the wallet, for more than just quick viewing.
The outside zipper pocket is great for carrying some cash and a house key.

Wounded warrior almost leads Timberwolves to title
Todd battles through severely sprained ankle to help spark late charge
But there was no Willis Reed-type ending for the Timberwolves on Saturday. Curtis held off a furious Jackson rally for a 60-56 win in the game that ended after midnight.
Todd, the tournament's Most Valuable Player, went down with an ankle injury midway through the third quarter. He got his ankle taped and returned to the game a few minutes later.
Down by 10, his return sparked the Timberwolves, who cut the deficit to nine at the end of the third quarter with a Dan Kingma 3-pointer.
Todd was hurt, but just how serious was the injury was unclear until after the game. Todd was helped out of the locker room in obvious pain and his ankle was severely swollen.
"He definitely wasn't 100 percent, I will tell you that," Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said. "He was definitely hurt. He's in a lot of pain right now. He was hurt. How hurt? I don't know if I can put a number on it at 12:30 at night, but he was hurt."
The Timberwolves continued to rally in the fourth quarter behind Todd and Kingma. Jackson was able to cut the deficit to one, but could never get over the hump.
"He's a warrior in every sense of the word," Johnson said. "Always has been, always will be. I'm tremendously proud of him."
While it was clear that Todd wasn't even close to 100 percent, there was no doubt the Timberwolves needed him. Other players like Brian Zehr, who didn't miss a shot from the field, and Kingma, who hit two big 3s in the second half, were key in the comeback.
But they couldn't have done it without their leader.
Johnson said after the game that he wished his star would have been at full strength.
"I wish Jason hadn't been hobbling around," Johnson said. "I don't want to make excuses or take anything away from Curtis. They did a great job and they are deserving champions."
Todd finished the game with 10 points, nine rebounds, four assists and a blocked shot.
Just how heroic Todd's return was is up for debate. But there is no doubt it caught the eye of everyone in the Tacoma Dome, but specifically his coach.
"I thought it was incredibly valiant," Johnson said. "He was not himself. He just gutted it out, having to guard quick athletic guys. They kind of knew he was hurt. They went at him a couple of times. That's the way it goes. It would have been a much better story from our perspective had we pulled off the win, but I can't question anything that kid does in terms of effort and bringing it all the time."
It seemed it was fitting that Todd earned tournament MVP honors. Even on a bad ankle, there was no denying Todd was the most valuable player on the floor.
"He's one of the best defenders, one of the best scorers and he is a playmaker," Johnson said. "He does it all. Even hobbling around the last third of the game, he kept us in it. Tournament MVP I think is well-deserved."
After the game Johnson addressed Todd in a private moment. Johnson wouldn't go into great detail as to what he told his wounded warrior, but he did share a bit of the conversation.
"Let's just say that Jason takes a lot of pressure on himself and takes things really personally," Johnson said. "I just wanted to make it extremely clear that he should never, ever, ever feel that he let anyone down, especially me. Because he has never let me down."
Todd almost delivered a state championship on a bad ankle. The Timberwolves return the majority of their team next season, including Todd, Kingma and Zehr.
With the motivation of a bitter defeat to Curtis, if Todd returns to the state championship game at full strength next season, it's worth thinking about what he can accomplish.

The Springbok Sevens team beat New Zealand 15-7 in the Cup Final of the Adelaide tournament.
This was the third successive time the two teams have met in the final, and the victory meant the Springboks broke the All Blacks' 47-match winning streak. The Springboks' extra-time semi-final win over Samoa was expected to have a negative effect on the players in the final, but they came out storming to score two tries in the opening five minutes.
Robert Ebersohn, the 19-year-old recruit playing in his first year of international Sevens, scored his sixth try of the competition when he ran 50 metres to out-sprint the cover defence to give the Boks a 5-0 lead. Man of the Tournament Fabian Juries scored another great counter-attacking try to extend the lead going into the shed.
The South Africans exhibited a committed and aggressive defence throughout the match which rattled the All Blacks, forcing them into uncharacteristic errors. However a Victor Vito score early in the second stanza would have had South African coach Paul Treu worried as the Kiwis narrowed the lead to three.
But Juries got his second try to seal the Springboks' first Cup title since December 2006 in Dubai.
