ATLANTA - The Miami University softball team used a strong offensive attack and a great pitching effort by Paige Myers to earn their first victory of the season, 8-2 over Marshall Saturday evening in the Georgia Tech Classic. Earlier in the day, the RedHawks were once again competitive with the 24th-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but fell by a 6-4 score. Miami is now 1-3 on the season.
The nightcap against Marshall was scoreless until the Thundering Herd scored two (one earned) in the top of the fourth off of Myers. It was the lone blemish on what turned into a spectacular outing for the junior pitcher. She allowed one earned run on five hits, while striking out a career-high tying 10.
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, the RedHawks would break through with four runs. Taylor Shuey started things off by reaching on an error by the first baseman. Kylie McChesney then reached on an error by the pitcher. Shuey came home on the play to put Miami on the board. Two batters later, Tiyona Marshall singled to move McChesney over to second. Kristy Arbour grounded into a fielder's choice for the second out, as the Thundering Herd retired McChesney at third. Kayla Ledbetter followed with a double that scored Marshall and Arbour. Larrabee made it 4-2 with a single to left field that brought home Ledbetter.
It became 5-2 in the bottom of the fifth when McChesney scored on an error by the Marshall third baseman. The RedHawks would put the game away with three more runs on one swing of the bat in the bottom of the sixth. After Larrabee and Jenna Modic drew walks, Shanyn McIntyre would send a shot over the left field wall for her second home run of the season to make it 8-2.
McIntyre finished the nightcap 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run scored. Ledbetter was 1-for-1 with two RBI, two runs scored and three walks. Miami had a total of six hits in the game, while Marshall committed seven errors.
Similar to yesterday's meeting, Miami struck first in the opener against 24th-ranked Georgia Tech. With two outs in the top of the first inning, Ledbetter drew a walk. Larrabee followed with a double that scored Ledbetter all the way from first base.
The Yellow Jackets would take a 3-1 lead after three innings by scoring one run in the second and two in the third off of starter Megan Mattera. The RedHawks would retie the score with a two-run answer in the top of the fourth. Modic led off with a single through the right side. McIntyre would then walk. Hailey Reed laid down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners each up a base. Shuey singled to right field to record her first career RBI and score Modic. Shuey would eventually score later in the inning off of a single by Arbour.
Georgia Tech retook the lead with two runs in the bottom of the fourth. Modic came in to relieve Mattera and allowed one unearned run in the bottom of the sixth.
In the top of the seventh Arbour and Ledbetter recorded back-to-back walks with one out. Larrabee followed with a single up the middle to load the bases. Modic drove home Arbour with a sacrifice fly to make it 6-4, but Georgia Tech was able to retire McIntyre to end the inning and secure the win.
Larrabee finished the opener 2-for-4 with one RBI. Shuey was 1-for-2 with one RBI and one run scored. Modic pitched well in relief, allowing two hits in two innings. Ledbetter drew another three walks. She already has eight on the season in only four games.
Miami concludes play at the Georgia Tech classic with a rematch against Marshall on Sunday at 11 a.m.

By Jamie Blanco
Digital News Writer
Federal News Radio
Plain language in government documents is now the law, but changing the culture of "government-speak" to stay compliant can be a challenge for many agencies. So the Center for Plain Language is hosting a hands-on workshop to help feds cut through the acronyms, ambiguous phrases, and long-winded explanations.
Center for Plain Language Chief Annetta Cheek told Federal News Radio the Plain Writing Act of 2010 has good practical requirements in place, such as senior officials overseeing implementation, training courses and avenues for reporting. "But getting down to the nitty-gritty of writing there are a lot of techniques that you can use to make your writing plainer," Cheek said.
Cheek, who was formerly a government writer for 25 years, said two great practices to help feds start down the road to plainer writing are:
"If you do those two things then a lot of other changes will come about in your writing and your writing will evolve into something that is clearer," Cheek said.
Cheek also warned not to "over-write" or add extra jargon in documents that readers don't necessarily need.
"Very often government writers just put down all that government-ese and legal-ese that they're used to writing for years and years and they don't think about how easy it is to read. They put the burden of understanding on the reader, and I believe the burden of understanding should be on the writer."
The number one tactic, Cheek said, for making sure the document written is understandable to readers is to actually have them read it.
If you actually ask someone, just ask someone else in your office to take a look at it, you might be unpleasantly surprised at how difficult the writing is for people that you think can read it. And that causes all sorts of problems. You'll save yourself a lot of time if you make sure, in the first place, that people can read what you're writing...People are often afraid of testing because they think it takes too long and costs too much money and the workshop will discuss several ways of doing that fairly easily.
Another tip from Cheek: Avoid programs online that evaluate the grade-level of the document you have written.
"They can tell you if you're writing is too complex...but the flip side, when it tells you this is of the 8th grade level, that is not accurate," Cheek said, explaining that no matter the order of words such programs will give you the same grade-level. "It's not a good way to determine if you have good writing. It is a good way to determine that you have bad writing."

http://www.livestrong.com/article/48...-fibromyalgia/Gluten Intolerance Symptoms
Because celiac disease inhibits the absorption of nutrients, the symptoms vary. Common symptoms affect the digestive tract and include abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, vomiting and constipation; they can lead to weight loss and fatigue. Celiac disease can also affect other parts of the body, causing joint pain and tenderness like that of fibromyalgia. PubMed Health reports that patients with gluten intolerance may also suffer from other autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, which also resembles fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia Symptoms
The most common symptom of fibromyalgia is chronic pain that occurs without any known cause. It might be a stabbing or shooting pain or a dull ache deep within the muscles and joints. Patients often complain of neurological symptoms including numbness or tingling usually felt in the hands. Fibromyalgia causes sleep disturbances that lead to fatigue and extreme exhaustion. Patients with fibromyalgia may develop other conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, restless leg syndrome, anxiety and depression.
Research published in the "World Journal of Gastroenterology" states that diseases of the digestive system, like inflammatory bowel disease, produce musculoskeletal complications. This research suggests a link between digestive conditions and rheumatic diseases. This means that gluten intolerance not only shares symptoms similar to fibromyalgia but that there may be a common link. Because of this link, the research published in the "British Medical Journal" states that patients with fibromyalgia should be screened for gluten intolerance and that doctors should suggest the patient switch to a gluten-free diet to help relieve symptoms.
The Hornets should look into this if there is no structural reason for him to be experiencing pain.

|Research Symposium Spotlights Ongoing Research & Plans for Cohort Study
The 1st annual All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine Research Symposium brought more than 80 attendees to the Outpatient Care Center on October 12 to hear presentations by ACH and ACH-affiliated researchers and view the 20 research posters on display (view program). Both early stage and senior investigators highlighted their work in a variety of research areas, including case reports and case series, basic science studies and clinical trials.
Neil Goldenberg, M.D., Ph.D., our new Director of Research, presented Pediatric Grand Rounds to more than 120 attendees as part of the daylong Symposium. In his presentation titled "Design, Implementation and Quality Assurance of the Institutional Prospective Inception Cohort Study in Child Health Research", he discussed the importance and application of an institutional-wide cohort study as a proactive and global research methodology. Dr. Goldenberg also highlighted plans for implementation of this type of pediatric cohort study at All Children's.
The award for Best Abstract was presented to pediatric cardiologist Michelle Miller, M.D., for her abstract titled "Prenatal Diagnosis of Coarctation of the Aorta Using a Newly Developed Calculation: The Modified Carotid-Subclavian Index." Dr. Miller is a member of the All Children's Specialty Physicians pediatric cardiology program. Her practice includes both pediatric and fetal cardiology; she sees patients at All Children's Outpatient Care, Sarasota as well as in the nursery at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Dr. Miller is also a member of the inaugural class of the ACH JHM Designing Clinical Research Program. The group began working with research mentors and biostatisticians in summer 2011.
Last week's symposium also served as the kickoff event for the weekend retreat of the second cohort of the "Designing Clinical Research Program."

(Antigua, Lake Atitlan, Flores)
Wipe the sweat from your brow as you climb to the top of ancient Tikal ruins deep in the steamy Guatemalan jungle and proudly claim your reward of panoramic views over the rainforest canopy.
Here in Flores you'll encounter this important Mayan settlement that dates back to 700 B.C. and survived as a thriving metropolis for 1,500 years. Now shrouded in deep jungle, howler monkeys climb amongst the vines and their distinctive calls echo around the eerie ancient ruins. Elsewhere in this incredible country, you'll trek to reflective lakes and slumbering volcanoes in Atitlan; learn about the ancient rituals and mysticism of the local tribes people; and explore the colonial sites of charming Antigua – declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
From behind-the-scenes peeks at ruined cathedrals to meeting artisans at vibrant local markets and hiking to secret waterfalls, your experienced team of English-speaking guides and private drivers will be at your side to ensure you get the most out of the many experiences this trip has to offer. And you'll have ample time to rest and recharge at your collection of luxury accommodation that spans Spanish villas, peaceful village hotels and beautiful natural retreats.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
Transfer to Antigua by private vehicle and professional English-speaking driver.
You will be met at your hotel reception by your private guide to begin your half day walking tour of Antigua. Your tour will cover the architectural & historical highlights of this colonial city with a behind-the-scenes look at some of the many ruined churches, convents and cathedrals. Entrances are included to the Iglesia San Francisco (church), the Cathedral, Central Park and La Merced Church.
The Chichicastenango Market tour includes a visit to the famous Maya market. This service will drive you from your hotel to Chichicastenango (2.5hrs) where you will enjoy free time to enjoy the market. The small Mayan town of Chichicastenango lies on the crest of mountain tops two thousand meters high and is home to one of the most colorful native markets in all of the Americas where you can make some great bargain buys including textiles, ceramics, wood items, flowers, and more! You can also visit the famous St Tomas Church where local Maya people come to perform rituals within the Catholic church. You can also hike up the hill to the Pascual Abaj ritual site to see if any local shaman are performing rituals and/or to the cemetary on the outskirts of town. This tour departs on Thursdays and Sundays only. Return to your hotel in Antigua after the end of the tour.
This morning you will be met at your hotel by your private guide and driver and will be transferred to Reserva Atitlan. Here, you will enjoy a moderate hike in the tropical forest with enchanting waterfalls and bridges. The reserve contains a variety of interesting plants and animals, including monkeys, the raccoon-like coatis and exotic birds, such as Guatemala's national bird, the quetzal. The Nature reserve also has an enclosed butterfly preserve with a breeding laboratory with approximately 200 living specimens of nearly 20 species of native Guatemala butterflies. Later, if you are in for a bit more adventure, end your hike with an exciting canopy tour. During the canopy tour you will have to hike uphill for approximately 30 minuts on a steep trail, however, are rewarded with lovely views of the lake whilst on the canopy ride of which the longest cable is over 200 meters.

Sunset drinks are then enjoyed at the end of the tour on top of the main temple with views over the surrounding rainforest and nearby Lake Yaxha. The site has more than 500 structures, including 40 stelae, 13 Altars, 9 Temple Pyramids, 2 Mesoamerican ballcourts, and a network of sacbeob (causeways) that connect the central, northern (Maler), and eastern 'acropoleis', and the Lake causeway that was the main entrance in the past. The top of Temple 216 (restored) provides a view of the two lakes on one side and the jungle and the stepped-pyramids on the other. Trek back through the jungle with torches as it starts to turn dark (perhaps spotting nocturnal wildlife along the way). Return to your hotel in the evening.
Pick up from your lodge and begin your privately guided tour of Tikal National Park. Tikal was one of the major cultural and population centers of the Maya civilization. Though monumental architecture at the site dates to the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca. 200 AD to 900 AD. Some of these pyramids are over 60 meters high (200 feet). Enjoy some free time at the site and return to your hotel after lunch at a local restaurant.

The huge private reserve plays host to the villa's 56 rooms, which are designed to offer the most modern living conditions while still keeping to the rustic, pleasant side of adventure getaways.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"Very prompt at getting information back to us and very helpful with any changes we wanted.
This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

Texas -
Senior third baseman Matt Juengel drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the
11th inning Friday night on Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park as the No.
4 Texas A&M baseball team earned a hard-fought 3-2 victory over visiting
Holy Cross.
win was the fifth straight for the Aggies (5-0) to open the 2012 campaign and
their first extra inning contest of the year.
A&M drew first blood in its first turn at bat as after the first two Aggie
batters of the day reached base, Juengel drove in the game's initial run with
an RBI double down the left field line. The Aggies have scored in the first
inning during each game they have played this spring as the top four batters in
the A&M line-up have been outstanding.
Aggies would leave the bases loaded in the first inning as they stranded 11 men
on the night. However, for much of the contest it looked as though a single run
would be good enough as starting pitcher Michael Wacha held the Crusader
batters in check.
right-hander from Texarkana, Texas, struck out 11 and allowed just two hits
while walking none in seven shutout innings of work. It marked the third time
in his career he's reached the double-digit plateau in strikeouts and fell just
short of his career high of 12, set last season in a win over Nebraska.
Aggies pushed across a second run during the home half of the sixth as senior
second baseman Scott Arthur took advantage of a one-out, runners on the corners
situation by using a safety squeeze to plate the runner from third.
a shutout eighth inning on the mound by junior Kyle Martin, freshman Daniel
Mengden took the mound in the top of the ninth looking to shut the door on the Crusaders.
Holy Cross had other ideas, however, as it used a leadoff double and a hit
better to set the stage for catcher Steven Tkowski to tie the game with a
two-out, two-run single.
neither team was able score in the 10th, senior reliever Estevan
Ureigas (1-0) was able to induce a big double play to end a Crusader threat in
the top of the 11th inning providing the backdrop for the Aggies to
win it the home half of the inning.
got the rally going with a one-out walk and promptly stole second and advanced
to third on a wild pitch. With the winning run just 90 feet away, Holy Cross
elected to intentionally walk Mikey Reynolds and Tyler Naquin and bring Juengel
to the plate with the bases juiced.
Houston native worked the count to 3-1 and appeared to draw the walk but a
called strike brough him back to the plate. After fouling off a tough pitch
from Holy Cross reliever John Colella (0-1), Juengel was able to take the
full-count offering low for the game-winning walk.

Comments about Smith Optics Fuel V.2 Sweat X Goggles 13:
This was my first pair of goggles I've ever purchased for downhill mountain biking.
I do downhill 2-3X/year, so was looking for a good value mostly.
Jenson had a good deal on these so I picked it up. The clarity is very good, and it has an attachment where you can attach a film in front of the lens so that you can easily pull the film to clear the sight (in that it keeps the lens clean).

After the Tamron 18-270mm and Sigma 18-250mm reviews, the DxOmark team offers you a series of short reviews for the 18-200mm lenses tested on our website:
For summer 2011, DxOMark delivers its super-zoom, all-in-one selection for Canon and Nikon.
What are the interesting features of these lenses?
What are their limitations?
Once you are aware of these limitations, you'll be able to find a good compromise and maybe you will agree with us that "you get you pay for."
As explained before, these lenses are not designed to provide the best results in low lighting conditions, so do not be surprised if you find their scores to be low.
The DxOMark scores for these seven lenses are very close and range from 5 (Sony DT 18-200mm mounted on the Sony A350 to 13 for the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS Canon mounted on the Canon EOS 7D.
We want to point out that the Sigma 18-200mm OS score is a pretty good one for this kind of lens.
On resolution metrics, their results are very close as well. The Sony DT 18-200mm is the least sharp (37 lp.mm) of all. The others, such as the Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED achieve results close to 41 lp/mm.
All the results correspond to the lenses being mounted on the cameras with the best resolution available at this time on the DxOMark database:
Vignetting remains very well controlled on every lens, which is no great feat, as all the available apertures are small.
All Chromatic Aberration measurements show similar results except for the Sony 18-200mm at 200mm and the Sigma 18-200mm OS Nikon mount.
All lenses in this review present very close results on distortion: strong distortion at 18 mm and pretty well controlled for the focal superior to 50mm.
If you would like more choices, here are some interesting comparisons for super-zoom lenses on Canon APS-C cameras:
Surprisingly, we have a tie here: the DxOMark score ranges only from 8 to 9 for all 5 lenses, so they all should provide satisfactory images. Their features are also pretty similar (same aperture and stabilization for every model).
Note that the previous version of the Tamron 18 -270 achieves a better resolution metric: 44 lp.mm.
The best choice might be either the inexpensive Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Nikon or the light Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Nikon.
For further information, here are some interesting comparisons for super-zoom lenses on Nikon APS-C cameras:
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sigma announced its 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM II lens at the beginning of October 2011. While there's not much new in terms of its specs compared to the previous version (the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS —see 18-200mm DxOMark reviews), the publication of its measurement results gives us the chance to take stock of all the Sigma offerings for this lens type.
Not too long ago, people assumed that choosing a micro 4/3 camera was the same thing as choosing a more versatile compact camera. Then the happy owners would start thinking about getting a zoom lens for this small camera and discover that… the zooms were nowhere near as compact as their camera. What they ended up with was not as pocketable as they hoped, but unfortunately, there are scientific optical laws that can't be changed. The lenses tested here are good examples of just how compact lenses with large focal ranges can be.
With the release of the new test results for the Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD for both the Canon mount and the Nikon mount, this could be a good opportunity to explore the DxOMark rankings to help you choose the best super-zoom for your APS-C camera.
We hear you and we've been there: when you're on the market for a super-zoom, the list can be long and confusing. Worry not, we've got you covered—a comprehensive list of tested lenses by the main manufacturers in combination with different camera bodies is available on DxOMark.com.
We've tested and ranked the latest Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD, along with the previous model Tamron AF 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Canon and its counterpart with a Nikon mount. Also, don't miss the latest test results on the Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical [IF] Macro on both a Canon and a Nikon mount.

UPDATE: Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez and the Democratic Party of Orange County released statements on Friday calling on the organizers of the Little Saigon Tet Parade to include everyone. For details, see below.
SANTA ANA – A coalition of gay and lesbian groups lost its bid in court Thursday to force Little Saigon Tet Parade organizers to include the group in this Sunday's event.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Geoffrey T. Glass declined to grant an injunction requested by the Partnership of Viet Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Organizations.
The coalition's leaders expressed disappointment but said they will attend the parade – both as spectators and as participants.
"We will be there. And we will celebrate with our Vietnamese family," said Tuan Trong Le, co-founder of the Gay Vietnamese Alliance.
Although the coalition is not allowed to join as a group, individual members will walk with at least one other participating group, and they plan to carry signs thanking the community for its support, said LGBT organizer Natalie Newton.
Other LGBT members will be cheering from the sidelines during the parade that will march along Bolsa Avenue, beginning at 9 a.m.
Dina Nguyen, one of two lawyers who represented the parade organizers, said after the court hearing, "We respect everyone's First Amendment rights.
"Sometimes there are tough decisions, and these decisions need to be made by the court," said Nguyen, who also is a Garden Grove councilwoman.
Nguyen and Mark Rosen represented the Vietnamese Federation of Southern California, which is coordinating groups working to put on the parade.
The attorneys for the parade committee argued that organizers were within their rights to decide who should be in their event. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment allowed organizers of a privately run Irish parade in Boston to select whom to include or exclude from that event, Rosen wrote in opposing the injuction request.
"Popular or not, controversial or not, the First Amendment vests that decision in the parade organizers," Rosen wrote.
The Tet parade is a celebration "to pay respect to the founding ancestors, paying respect to elders, educate youth about traditions, heritage and ceremonial celebration of the new year," Rosen wrote. Organizers believe that LGBT "has a purpose and a theme that strays and varies from the theme of the Tet parade."
Luan Tran, an attorney for the LGBT coalition, wrote in his application for a temporary restraining order that LGBT "seeks not only to promote justice and equity but to reduce stigma and associated mental trauma for LGBT persons."
Participation in the parade is crucial, Tran said, "not to advance any particular political agenda, but to gently make the point that LGBT persons are and always have been part of the community."
Tran argued that by accepting the LGBT's application and entrance fee, they had entered into a contract with the group because the organizers' guidelines had only one stipulation for participation – that it be "strictly limited to those that have properly registered in advance."
The judge ruled that Tran's contract argument wasn't valid. "Simply filling out an application is not sufficient to create contractual rights," Glass said. "There was no meeting of the minds. It was an application."

Shiloh Fernandez Can Save Us From the 'Evil Dead' – The Daily Swoon
If you went to the movies this weekend, you probably saw Shiloh Fernandez saving the day in 'Evil Dead' — you know, when you weren't hiding behind your hands because that movie is SCARY.
I've got a confession to make — I don't particularly like Shiloh Fernandez as an actor. He just doesn't do it for me. But if we're going on looks alone, Shiloh totally does it for me. You may have seen him in 'Red Riding Hood,' 'Skateland,' or an episode of 'Gossip Girl' or 'United States of Tara.' (Actually, I'm just now remembering those episodes of 'United States of Tara' and he was such a hilariously awful dude — check it out sometime.)
More recently, Shiloh stars in 'Evil Dead' as the brother of Jane Levy's character, who gets possessed by an evil, demonic spirit, and it's up to Shiloh to get his ish together and save his baby sis from certain death. He also stars in the upcoming film 'The East' with Ellen Page and fellow sexy man Alexander Skarsgard (and Skarsgard's butt because obviously).
And what's not to like? He's got those dark, mysterious looks, the chiseled face of a model, and he has a name that reminds me of a nice book about a dog I read when I was a kid.

NEW ORLEANS -- This weekend, the super krewe of Endymion debuted their new 'Pontchartrain Beach' float. It's a nine-section display of bright LED lights, scents and even sounds.
And while the float was a big hit, it also had a few problems along its inaugural ride.
You could feel the excitement on Saturday night with Endymion taking to the streets with no rain and a bright new float.
'It was huge,' said one parade-goer on Saturday.
Titled 'Pontchartrain Beach, Then and Now,' the float's nine sections each captured a trademark feature of the old amusement park.
'I've never seen a tandem float where every float was a different concept and a different idea. It was a lot to behold,' said Errol Laborde, a Mardi Gras historian and editor of NewOrleans Magazine.
Most onlookers said it was spectacular.
Endymion paid $1.5 million to create it. However, its inaugural ride wasn't without problems.
'I was wondering how they were gonna get nine segments of a float around a corner, but they did,' said another parade-goer Saturday night.
But it took some effort. At Carrollton and Orleans, the fourth section nearly hit a utility pole and crews had to break the float down to get it around the corner.
A WWL-TV employee shot video at Carrollton and Canal. In it, you can hear the float hit some barricades, and according to New Orleans EMS, a 63-year-old woman had to be taken to the hospital with a minor injury.
'The danger problem isn't with the size of the float other than the excitement that the float creates. Being that this was the first time for that float and there was a lot of excitement, I think there was just a big crush of the crowd,' Laborde said.
According to EMS, the float also hit barricades at Lee Circle, leaving six more people with minor injuries.
'To the extent that there's been dangers with floats, that's happened as long as there's been Carnival,' Laborde said.
Medical call sheets show it. EMS responded to 103 calls on Saturday, 61 during last year's Endymion rain out.
Krewe officials said off camera Monday they'll investigate the injuries and that they're very sorry if anyone was injured.
About the injuries related to the new float, a spokesman for Mayor Landrieu said in an email, 'Public safety is a top priority during Mardi Gras for both riders and spectators. As is the process after every event, the city will do an after action report to address all issues. In addition, the Mayor's Mardi Gras advisory committee, comprised of all krewe captains, will be addressing these and other aspects as we prepare for Carnival season 2014.'

Flosstradamus Biography & News
Flosstradamus Details
|Official site
About Flosstradamus
About Flosstradamus
Their event performances read like the equivalent of a who's who list: the Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, Pitchfork, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Rothbury and South by Southwest. In fact, it's hard to find a breeding ground for live music that Flosstradamus hasn't left its mark on.
Flosstradamus, of course, is the stage name for Chicago-based DJs J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci). What began as a series of parties in the Windy City quickly became a word-of-mouth phenomenon. The mashup of electro, house, techno and R&B not only led to gigs that would sell out at the drop of a hat, the duo was directly responsible for an influx of tourists who traveled to Chicago just to experience a Flosstradamus show.
Trekking outside of Illinois, Young and Cameruci have also made a name for themselves on the college circuit, playing the likes of Wellesley College, Drexel University, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon and Columbia Universities. They've also appealed to the young crowd thanks to appearances on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and the Nick Jr. program "Yo Gabba Gabba."
Since 2011, Flosstradamus has put out seven EPs, including the "X" series in 2012 and the most recent "Nomads EP (w/DJ Sliink)" in 2013. The duo also posted a video to their Instagram account, which features a preview of a new track called "HDYBYZ," and recently released a new music video for their release "Mosh Pit," featuring Casino. The video begins with a user warning that it may trigger seizures for those with photosensitive epilepsy, as it jumps right into the middle of a strobe-light influenced journey on a dance floor. The message? Nostradamus continues to bring the flair and energy they've become known for, and won't be slowing down any time soon.
Flosstradamus Announces Tour + Releases Mini-Doc
Dynamic DJ duo Flosstradamus are working hard to create a name for themselves as a live act, an oddity in the EM world. They just released a mini-documentary short during their 2013 "IRL" tour (which you can watch below) and also revealed the dates for their upcoming "#HDYNation tour," as well as a few details on…Read more

This title was carefully selected and I hope readers will get the point from what follows.
Barack Obama didn't release his birth certificate in 2008 to prove he was not born in Kenya; he released it to counter the equally silly claim that his middle name was Mohammed amid stories that he was Muslim. Since that time and up to the present video from Wayne Allyn Root, the claim has been leveled against Barack Obama that he is Muslim and not Christian.
While Obama doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve, it's no secret that he attended a Christian church. At an Easter prayer breakfast in 2011 [link to entire remarks]:
I wanted to host this breakfast for a simple reason — because as busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that there's something about the resurrection — something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective
I know about the text because it was quoted by Evangelical Lutheran Church in America presiding bishop Mark Hanson. That, and what accompanied it, did not sound like it came from a Muslim. To Muslims, Jesus was a prophet, not divine. Continue Reading →

Billy Twelvetrees will make his Test debut for England against Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday.
There are two changes to the team that thumped the All Blacks in November with Twelvetrees coming in for Manu Tuilagi at inside centre and Joe Marler replacing Alex Corbisiero at loosehead prop.
'We are happy to stick with the team that did so well against New Zealand, especially in light of the fact that they have all been in good form for their clubs since then,' said England coach Stuart Lancaster. There were some very tight calls, with some experienced players coming back into contention, and I am sure the bench will have a significant impact on the game.'
England – 15 Alex Goode, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Brad Barritt, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Mike Brown, 10 Owen Farrell, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Chris Robshaw (c), 6 Tom Wood, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Joe Marler.

The summer before College of Biological Science students start their freshmen year, they do a 1 week intensive retreat at the Itasca research center. A few years ago we were able to get a handout in the resources section of their 3-ring binder. However, over the years, it became out-of-date, and it was a time for a quick refresh, as we only had two days to work on it.
In reviewing past examples, I came up with some things to keep in mind during the redesign. Here are the elements of a good handout, in my opinion:
- They are not a copy of the slides, rather they supplement the session
- The handout uses a clear and easily readable type
- The information naturally flows from one point to another
- There should be a balance of white space to give the eyes a rest; this also can serve as a note-taking spot
- Use images
- Include your contact information
- Have clear sections or headings, so attendees can follow along with the presentation
- Where can they go for additional information? Include references, websites, etc.
- Make the handout part of an activity, if possible. Engage the audience at different points with the handout.
- Include the date created and contact, for easy updating later
- Keep it to one page
Here are some of the previous handouts and comments on their design.
Design 1. It includes our branding, but was text heavy.
Design 2. This is a faculty handout. (I couldn't find the student one quickly, but the same design.) It uses a lot of color and images, and might be a bit too busy. We also found that the folks putting together the packets just photocopy, rather than print from the original file, and used black & white. This quickly degraded the quality of the images and made the contact information hard to read.
Design 3. This is a draft of the content we wanted to include, switching to mostly black and white. Still too text heavy, boring layout and too much white space.
Design 4. This was our final version for this year. The front page has the important information, our contact info and the liaisons the students will mostly be working with while at UMN. Before we have the middle empty, and that was too empty, so we made a word cloud based off of the text on the back and previous handouts. The back is a newspaper advertising-like layout. It has sound bite bits of information, and a few icons to break up the text. We also added a few grey blocks to break up the text as well.
Now on to redesigning for next year, as I will have a year to work on it, rather than dashing something off at the last minute. Also, I would like to work with the library staff at Itasca, to see how they might use the handout as an activity and build around that.

Are home remedies effective for tension headache?
Sometimes headaches can be triggered by mild dehydration or lack of food; if so, then drinking some non-caffeinated fluids or eating something may help. People who eat flaxseed regularly, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, may experience a decrease in headaches. This is thought to be related to the anti-inflammatory properties of the omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, inhaling the scent of peppermint oil or lavender oil may help decrease headache pain (lavender oil should not be consumed orally). Scalp massage is easily done and may provide significant relief; concentrating efforts over the temporal regions or the occipital area (the back of the scalp) may lead to the best response.
Can tension headaches be prevented?
Often, the best defense is a good offense; a similar strategy will work when trying to prevent tension headache. Identification of triggers of headache with subsequent efforts to avoid or modify those triggers can be very successful to decrease or even eliminate tension headache. Some people find that scheduled exercise and eating on a regular basis is beneficial. Learning and practicing relaxation techniques, including deep breathing exercises, directed relaxation of specific muscles, or meditation, can also be very effective.
If headaches are occurring regularly or have changed in severity or frequency; or if the patient experiences a headache which is very different from his or her usual headaches, the patient should see their doctor.

Comments about Easton EA90 XC 29" MTN Wheel 2013:
Got these to pair with a Trek Cobia for XC usage. Got stationed in Korea where the whole country is basically a mountain. Upgraded to a Niner RIP9 but kept these wheels. Not only have they stood up to the all-mountain riding I do now, they have excelled. Paired with Hans Dampf tires running tubeless they take two-foot drops with ease. Have never needed to true them in over a year... still true within less than 1mm.
Not perfect though... two issues:
First: Rear hub bearings die pretty quick. Easton has remedied this with a free bearing upgrade kit if yours were made in 2012. Since then they've run perfect.
Second: They're advertised to run 2.35" tires, despite the 19mm inner width. Paired with 2.35" Hans Dampf tires (which may be closer to 2.4-2.45" they tend to have some wobble. Tried reseating and a second set from Schwalbe but no fix. Dropped to some 2.2" to test, and they run true. Something to keep in mind if you run larger tires.

The Story
Heat-resistant to 800 degrees, this reversible ceramic stone is a natural for grilling or baking crispy pizza or tortillas. Reversible stone has a ribbed side for burgers, steaks and poultry. Even heat distribution cooks without hotspots, duplicating the effect of a brick-lined pizza oven. Season stone by lightly coating the surface with vegetable oil. The more the stone is used, the more seasoned it will become, enhancing the flavor of foods and developing non-stick properties. With use, the stone will darken naturally over time. Cleaning it with hot water and a grill brush while still hot will preserve the seasoning; a more thorough cleaning with hot water and soap or in the dishwasher will require re-seasoning with vegetable oil spray.
