Paid Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Clinical Trial Now Enrolling at Achieve Clinical Research Near Birmingham, Alabama; Accepting M/F Patients with RA Aged 18-75
Achieve is conducting a multicenter, randomized, single-dose study assessing the pharmacodynamic parameters of an experimental combination therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis on stable methotrexate (MTX) treatment.
Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) June 10, 2014
*To see if you qualify for this RA Clinical Trial in Birmingham, visit Achieve Clinical Research on the web (http://www.achieveclinical.com/) or contact us directly at (205) 380-6434. There is no cost to participate, no insurance is required, and you may receive compensation for time and travel.
This is a 6-week, randomized, multicenter, open-label, parallel-group single-dose study to assess the PD and safety of a combination therapy in adults with rheumatoid arthritis who are on a stable dose of MTX.
After providing informed consent, patients will be assessed for study eligibility at the screening visit (day -14 to day -1). Patients who meet eligibility criteria will undergo day 1/baseline assessments and will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of four treatment arms.
The duration of the study for a patient is approximately 6 weeks, excluding the screening period.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, primarily targeting the synovial membrane of diarthrodial joints. This process can result in progressive joint destruction, chronic disability and shortened life expectancy. It is estimated that approximately 0.5% to 1% of the adult population in North America and Europe is affected by RA. Rheumatoid arthritis affects women twice as often as men, and the incidence is highest among women over 40 years of age.
Currently, treatment of RA involves the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs/COX2 inhibitors), glucocorticoids and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine and leflunomide are DMARDs that have been used by rheumatologists for many years. Nine biologic agents, etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, anakinra, abatacept rituximab, golimumab, certolizumab, and more recently, tocilizumab, a humanized anti-IL-6R monoclonal antibody, have been approved by the FDA and the EMEA for treatment of RA.
The primary objective of the study is to describe the PD of hs-CRP, IL-6, sIL-6R, and ANC following a single dose of sarilumab SC or tocilizumab IV in patients with RA, who are on a stable dose of MTX.
A patient must meet the following criteria to be eligible for inclusion in the study:
- Patients with greater than or equal to 3 months of RA as defined by the 2010 revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria with CRP greater than or equal to 4 mg/L at the screening visit
- ACR Class I-III functional status, based on the 1991 revised criteria
- Continuous treatment with MTX – 10 to 25 mg/wk, oral or parenteral, for at least 12 consecutive weeks prior to screening and on a stable dose for at least 8 consecutive weeks prior to screening
- Willing and able to comply with clinic visits and study-related procedures
- Provide signed informed consent
*Achieve Clinical Research conducts Phase II-IV Clinical Research Studies in Alabama. For more information about participating in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Study, please visit our website or contact us directly at (205) 380-6434.

How About Some Action This Time Instead Of Words
by Paul on 06/05/13 at 01:55 PM ET

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
Back in 2003, after a lengthy and diligent study, the National Hockey League's Injury Analysis Panel concluded that hard, bulbous moldings on elbow and shoulder pads were more likely to cause injury than soft Styrofoam, when applied directly to an opponent's head.
Hard is more likely to injure than soft, the data showed. Another unintended finding, in documents obtained by Sportsnet.ca at the time, showed fire to be hot.
Yes, nobody does committees like the NHL.
Over the years, we have been blessed with such entities as the NHL/NHLPA Equipment Working Group, the Joint Health and Safety Committee, something called a "Blue Ribbon" committee, and various incarnations of the politically divided Competition Committee.
How many times have all sides convened for "frank and open discussion of the issues?" And how many times has anything tangible occurred?

Competition Committee Talk

added 5:34pm, via TSN,
The reasoning behind the proposal of shallower nets appears to be aimed at giving players more room to maneuver behind the goal.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger the Committee discussed some issues in conjunction with the mandatory wearing of visors including the mandatory wearing of helmets during fights. He stated those rules are not yet at the stage when they would be enforced.
All proposed changes are subject to approval from the League's Board of Governors.

Mandatory Visors?

Comments (8)
from Chris Johnston of Sportsnet,
It has long been thought that when visors were eventually mandated in the NHL the rule would only apply to new players entering the league.
But might everyone be forced to wear one starting next season?
The NHL Players' Association is currently polling its membership on that very question and will take the results to next week's competition committee meeting, according to a source.
A survey being circulated by the union has asked players to indicate whether they favour the status quo (freedom of choice), the introduction of a rule grandfathering visors for rookies or mandatory use by all.

Wrapping Up The GM Meetings
by Paul on 03/20/13 at 07:06 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the CP at CBC,
NHL GMs discussed reducing the size of goalie equipment and increasing video review Wednesday, while both the league and NHL Players' Association sounded a desire to grandfather in mandatory visors.
"Every little piece of goaltender equipment is now a project for a goalie to get bigger," said Colin Campbell, the NHL's vice-president of hockey operations.
Campbell said the instructions to Kay Whitmore, the NHL's goalie guru, are "Do what you have to do within reason to make sure they're still protected to reduce the stopping area."
Current rules allows goalie pads to go 55 per cent of the way between your knee and your pelvis, says Whitmore.

The GM Meetings From The NHLPA View
by Paul on 03/20/13 at 05:23 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Nick Cotsonika at Puck Daddy,
Is the NHL Players' Association ready to support a grandfathered visor rule?
The union at least will ask its members what they think. If they are in favor, the rule likely would go from the competition committee, to the NHL Board of Governors and into the book.
But we'll see.
"We're definitely going to look at talking to the guys about grandfathering them in," said Mathieu Schneider, the special assistant to NHLPA executive director Don Fehr, at the NHL general managers' meeting. "We'd probably do some type of poll."
The NHL has been in favor of mandatory visors or at least a grandfathered rule, and the NHLPA has encouraged its members to wear visors. But the league cannot force the players to wear visors without their consent, and the last time the NHLPA polled its members, they were heavily in favor of personal choice over a grandfathered rule.
continued, Schneider mentions more topics which were discussed today...

Talking GM Meetings
by Paul on 03/19/13 at 04:10 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
• For starters, the NHL will have the GMs split into breakout groups that will focus on different items. For example, one group will talk about interference on the forecheck, another group will talk about diving/embellishment, etc. The groups will then report back to the main group for general discussion later in the day. The breakout groups are an annual practice at the GMs meetings, although usually they've got three days to work with.
• There will be discussion about the merits of a coach's challenge for video review of goals. This was brought up a couple of years ago by Dale Tallon but got very little traction with GMs at the time. Now, it appears there is more appetite for this conversation. Part of the conversation as well could be simply to give the war room in Toronto a bigger scope in terms of what it can review on goals. Right now, it's essentially just whether the puck was in or not and on kicking plays. But if the GMs want, it can widen the war room's scope to include goalie interference plays on controversial goals, etc. Should be an interesting discussion.

BOG Approves Realignment
by Paul on 03/14/13 at 12:07 PM ET
Comments (8)
We all know the division and conference set-up for next season, so here is the wild card plan as described by Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
The Stanley Cup Playoffs will still consist of 16 teams, eight in each conference, but it will be division-based and a wild-card system has been added as a new wrinkle.
The top three teams in each division will make-up the first 12 teams in the playoffs. The remaining four spots will be filled by the next two highest-placed finishers in each conference, based on regular-season points and regardless of division. It will be possible, then, for one division to send five teams to the postseason while the other sends three.
The seeding of the wild-card teams within each divisional playoff will be determined on the basis of regular-season points. The division winner with the most points in the conference will be matched against the wild-card team with the lowest number of points; the division winner with the second-most points in the conference will play the wild-card team with the second fewest points.
The teams finishing second and third in each division will play in the first round of the playoffs. The winners of each series will play for the divisional championship.
read on for the complete realignment plan...

I have photos of all my great grandparents, but one...
Maria Leonardina (nee Lizzi) Liguori (14 Nov 1878 - 1 Dec 1919)
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/50192895 ... 0303241602
Born: Troia, Foggia, Italy. Passed: Kings City, New York
!!! I have been searching for a photo of her since December 2012. !!!
My goal is to find a photo of her by the end of this year; December 2013.
If anyone has any guidance, hints or suggestions, I am more than ears to hear them.
Note that I have been trying to extend my ancestry tree to find other descendents that may have photos of the Lizzi and/or Liguori families from 1878-1919... but have been unsuccessful in finding *any* photos of Leonardina to date.
Any and all help is appreciated in finding Leonardina.
Robert Liguori
Note: I shall post her photo to this thread, after I find her.

"Labrang" Top 5 Page for this destination Xiahe by sachara
Xiahe Travel Guide: 79 reviews and 216 photos
Labrang and Xiahe
Labrang in the Gansu Province was an important place for us to visit during our trip to Mongolia and Tibet with Tibetan Buddhism as ''red thread''
The Labrang Monastery or Labulengsi Monastery is the most important Tibetan monastery of China outside Tibet and lays in the little town Xiahe 260 KM south west of Lanzhou.
On our way from Lanzhou to Xiahe we passed the town Linxia, where the Hui and Dongxiang minorities, originally coming from Arabia, live.
Because I can find no Linxia in the VT system, I put the information on this page under the ''off the ebaten track'' section.

Behind the conundrum of the artist's initials JWB may lurk the clue that the caricature is by Sir William Nicholson himself - one half (the other being James Pryde) of the famous poster designing duo, J & W Beggarstaff. From 1910 to 1917 Sir William occupied a studio in The Pheasantry in Kings Road.

I have recently started the hct-12 and I am on week 4. Feel as if I am making great progress and lifts for the MOST PART are improving. On my upper day I start out with a flat bench press and my numbers have been shooting up at a decent pace. Before the hct I did a hypertrophy full body program with good success as my first official proven workout besides the shitty workout before that I created with my lack of knowledge. On the upper day I feel like I exert so much energy trying to up the bench press that when I go to do my bb ohp I seem to be exhausted and cant make gains. Should I try alternating the ohp to first on alternating weeks or just keep pushing to eventually up my numbers.
Also I am wondering if Im doing to little on my lifts. For flat bench press I did 45x6, 135x6, 165x6, 185x6x2x2x2. Should I be adding one more set in this for the ramping up portion or is this a fair amount to be doing?
Thanks for any help and I apologize if this question has been asked repetitively.

To help employers effectively deliver comprehensive benefits strategies, MetLife has launched its new Integrated Benefits Approach, which combines expanded access to MetLife's suite of product solutions — including new hospital indemnity, whole life and level-pay critical illness insurance products — with enhanced enrollment capabilities and a simplified service experience.
With 62% of employees expressing interest in their employers providing a wider array of voluntary benefits choices and 47% of companies saying they are likely to increase the number of voluntary benefits they offer in the next two years, MetLife's Integrated Benefits Approach makes it easier for employers to offer a diverse set of benefit options – and simplify the enrollment and ongoing administration of the program at the same time.
"Offering employees a range of employer-paid and voluntary benefits to choose from helps to meet the varied needs of an increasingly diverse workforce while also helping companies attract and retain skilled employees," said Michael Fradkin, senior vice president, Voluntary & Worksite Benefits at MetLife. "Additionally, our approach is designed to reduce an employer's administrative burden through flexible options that make it easier to offer and communicate multiple benefits options to their employees."
Access to New Products and CapabilitiesMetLife's new Integrated Benefits Approach is available to employer groups with 200 or more employees.
- Expanded Product Suite MetLife is expanding its product portfolio to add three new voluntary products: Hospital Indemnity, Whole Life and level-pay Critical Illness insurance. These new products are guaranteed issue and feature portability, payroll deduction and the option for family coverage.
- Enhanced Enrollment Capabilities MetLife will collaborate with employers to mix and match from a range of enhanced enrollment solutions — including print, electronic/online and onsite meetings — to design and deliver a program that helps drive increased awareness and participation. In addition, for benefits brokers, MetLife now offers heaped commission options through a new model designed to actively enroll select voluntary insurance products — Accident, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity and Whole Life — through enrollment firms or brokers with one-to-one enrollment capabilities.
- Simplified Customer Experience MetLife is also enhancing the end-to-end service experience across all products — including single points of contact for Sales, Service, Implementation and Enrollment as well as streamlined eligibility, participation and billing capabilities — to make multi-product implementation, administration and ongoing service easy.

A/N: welcome to my first and probably only Ghost Ship fanfic. this is a pre-movie fanfic. more romance and adventure than anything else. i watched the movie a couple times, so if they mentioned Munder's first name, i didnt catch it. i made one up for him anyway. lol! it'll come up soon. and so, here it is. the first chappie! enjoy!
Chapter 1: Kidding
Megan sighed as she cleared the table full of beer bottles and glasses onto a wide tray she held flat on her palm. The bell attached to the door of the pub she owned chimed, and the silence was broken by laughter and celebration of some kind. She stepped toward the bar, setting the tray on its surface as the group she was currently ignoring sat at one of the round tables.
She was so tired she could barely stand, having worked all day, but it was worth the pay check. Even if pubs in Sydney Australia were a dime a dozen, they were always in business. Especially the ones at port, exactly where her pub was located. Sailors would come in from long trips at sea looking for an ice cold beer and a corner to pass out in. And, if they came to her pub, they usually tried to find themselves a piece of ass to go with their beer.
No matter what she did, they always hit on her. She would treat the men like crap, humiliate them in front of their friends and they still kept coming. Some of them got so drunk they didn't know exactly what they were saying to her that made her slap them, or they were just naturally crude and she would slap them before they even opened their mouth. Everyone knew her and her temper, but it never mattered when you were pissed and looking for action.
"Hey, sweetheart!"
Her head shot up from whipping down the bar, her amber eyes searching for the man that dared to call her 'sweetheart' and she caught him instantly as he waved his hand to her.
"Bring us a round of beers, would ya?" the blonde man called, gesturing in a circle to the group with him before he slammed the hand down on the table and grinned, "We're celebrating!"
"Is that right?" Megan smiled in her light Aussie accent, leaning both hands against the bar and scanning over the people sitting with him. "And what would you celebrating?"
"The best damn salvage job this month!" the Hispanic man sitting with them grinned back as Megan stepped toward the fridge behind her and gripped the necks of six bottles and headed toward them.
"This year!" the blonde man grinned back as she stepped between him and the man sitting next to him to place the bottles on the table. The blonde man leered at Megan as she set one bottle in front of each of them and lifted a hand behind her, announcing, "Never had a fine woman like you serve me a drink! Must be my lucky day!"
The swat on her rear made her jump and a couple of the men laughed as the only brunette woman sighed in exasperation and the older man sitting next to her rolled his eyes. Megan's temper flared, but she managed to keep it from combusting as she turned around to head back to the bar. She tucked her ankle around one of the legs of the chair the blonde man was sitting in and pulled.
"Holy shit-!"
He fell on his back with a grunt, staring wide, ice blue eyes at her as she looked down at him in false surprise.
"Whoops," she chirped, and turned to saunter away as his friends laughed, the Hispanic and the long, dark-haired man sitting next to him laughing especially hard as she called, "Sorry!"
"The hell you are!" the blonde man growled, shooting to his feet.
"Sit your ass down, Dodge," the older man with them chuckled. "She's liable to take you down with her little finger if you try somethin' like that again."
"Why thank you, Sir," Megan smiled, lifting a cup she had started wiping down, and he lifted his beer to her before taking a swig from it as she continued, "It's rare to have a gentleman come in. I mostly get the ruffians like your friend there…Dodge, was it?"
"Wow, she hit that nail on the head, didn't she?" the black man sitting with them laughed and Dodge glared at him.
"Shut up, Greer," he muttered into his beer as he tipped it toward his mouth for a drink.
"That comment you made was a complete lie, by the way," the dark-haired man next to him finally spoke up then almost yelled, "The girl in Anchorage was cuter. She had a nicer ass on her."
"Well, I'm sorry my ass isn't up to your standards," Megan shot back casually, knowing the comment was directed at her. "I think if you head down a ways, there's lovely pub where you'll find a bartender with a nicer ass to serve your drinks. I think his name is Kevin."
"Whoo! This one's got a mouth on her, doesn't she?" the older man smirked, taking another swig of his beer. "I like her."
"Hey, Munder, go check out that bartender and see if it's true," the girl laughed, holding her beer up to drink. "We need a comparison, and you're a good judge of asses since you pretty much kiss 'em all the time."
"Aw, shove it, Epps," he muttered, slumping in his chair and as Dodge slumped in his, both men having been shot down.
"Why don't you come and have a drink with us?" the older man called to Megan, waving her over.
She glanced around the pretty much empty pub, other than the table full of salvagers and shrugged her compliance before turning back to the fridge and grabbing a beer for herself, popping it open on her way to sit. She pulled up a chair between the man that had invited her over and the Hispanic.
"I'm Captain Murphy," he introduced then gestured to each of his crew as he continued, "This lovely lady is Epps, that's Greer, my first mate, sitting next to her. You've met Munder and Dodge, and sitting next to you is our engineer, Santos."
"I'm Megan," she smiled. "Megan Kyle. I own this pub."
"You own and run it all by yourself?" Epps frowned, then glanced around the room. "I don't see anybody else working here."
Megan nodded, saying, "It's not so bad. When I get a full house, I just keep goin'. It's worth the money though. I pay the mortgage, buy whatever supplies I need, and since I don't have any workers to pay, the rest is mine to play with."
"Can't be much," Greer guessed and Megan shrugged.
"It's enough," she replied, taking a swig of her beer. "And I don't really play too much anyway, so I've got plenty in my savings for now."
"How old are you?" Santos wondered with a frown.
"Twenty-five," she replied.
"And you own a pub?" he questioned in wide-eyed shock.
"Family heirloom, really," Megan admitted. "I inherited the place. I pretty much grew up in this pub."
"That must have been fun," Dodge suddenly spoke up, finally over with his sulking.
"Not as fun as you'd think," Megan smirked.
The bell on the door sounded, making her straighten in her seat and look up to see a couple walking in, hand in hand. She excused herself from the group and headed back toward the bar to wait to serve them.
"Nice girl," Murphy nodded, taking a drink.
"Yeah, for a hot-tempered barkeep," Dodge muttered into his beer.
"You're just pissed because she knocked the wind outta you," Greer shot back. "Which, frankly, I didn't think anybody could do."
Dodge made a face at him as the rest of them chuckled, but Murphy's attention was turned to Munder who was still slumped in his seat, twirling his beer bottle on the table where it sat, his green-hazel eyes focused ahead. Murphy looked over to se what he was looking at then smirked as he turned back.
"She's rather attractive for a hot-tempered barkeep too, wouldn't ye say, Munder?" he smirked into his beer before taking a swig, but Munder's attention stayed on Megan for a moment before Epps glanced between them with a smirk and leaned over to smack his arm.
"What?" he chirped, jumping in his seat and nearly spilling his beer when his hand smacked it. "What'd you hit me for?"
"You were staring," Epps sang and Munder glared at her.
"Aye, dios, again?" Santos groaned, drawing Munder's attention. "You do this every time! There's always a girl!"
He started rattling off his complaints in Spanish and gesturing in exasperation, but none of them knew what he was saying.
"He's right," Greer replied when Santos quieted, turning to Munder. "You always find a girl to have a fling with whenever we come to port. Can't you keep it in your pants?"
"Me?" Munder snapped defensively, sitting up and holding his beer, pointing to Dodge as he replied, "What about him? He's just as bad!"
"Hey! At least I don't leave them without so much as a 'See you later! Thanks for a good time!'," Dodge argued. "You take off in the middle of the night!"
"What the hell do you know?" Munder snapped. "You're not there!"
"Oh, I know enough!" Dodge shot back.
"Alright, knock it off," Murphy cut in, firmly and the two men backed down, looking away from each other, a sulk on each of their faces. "Munder, try not to break this one's heart, huh?"
"Oh, so now I need permission to sleep with someone?" Munder snapped. "Is that what this is?"
"We're the ones gettin' your hate mail too, ya know?" Murphy shot back and Munder went to reply but Epps shook her head in warning.
"Fine," he growled, snatching Megan's beer as he stood to head to the bar where she was wiping down a glass.
He sat at the stool in front of her and set the beer between them, making her stop and look to the beer before looking at him in question.
"Did you need something?" she asked, turning her attention back to the glass as she held it up to see if she missed any spots.
"Just thought I'd bring your beer to you," he replied, leaning on the bar. "Figured you'd wanna finish it."
"Maybe later," she shrugged and Munder bowed his head, glancing to his friends at the table as they watched the scene unfold.
"So…you live around here?" he asked, ignoring the groans and chuckles from the table when his friends heard the question.
"I live in the room upstairs," Megan replied, not looking at him. Munder opened his mouth to reply, but she quickly added, "No, I'm not lonely. No, I don't get cold at night, and no, you can't have a peek upstairs."
Bursts of snickers came from the table as Munder slumped forward before glaring at them to shut up.
"Like I said, there's another pub down the street with a bartender who'd love to take you up on that offer," Megan continued. "You're just Kevin's type."
"But he's not mine," Munder retorted, deciding to bite back.
"Oh?" Megan hummed through a smirk before leaning closer to him on the bar and murmuring, "What is your type?"
Munder smirked back and pushed forward a bit, and Megan's confident air dropped with her smirk when he muttered, "You're my type."
Her eyes widened as she swallowed, suddenly realizing their faces were inches away from each others and jerking back to stand on her side of the bar.
"Well, you'll just have to find another girl to keep you warm tonight," she muttered, placing the glasses she'd just cleaned below the bar top and hurrying to the back, but Munder smirked as he stood from the stool, catching what she had tried to hide before taking a swig of his beer as he turned to the table.
He made her blush.
Megan wiped down the last table, her back facing the door she hadn't had a chance to lock yet as she tried to scrub a certain spot of the table that had stained. The bell on the door sounded, but she didn't turn to see who it might be.
"Sorry, pub's closed for the night," she called, not looking away from her work, but when she heard footsteps coming toward her she frowned and stood tall to turn around. She gasped when she nearly rammed into a recently familiar face and took a step back to lean back on the table as she stared at him in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" she snapped. "You scared the shit outta me! What are you tryin' to do? Give me a heat attack?"
"Sorry," Munder chuckled. "I didn't mean to scare you."
Megan stood tall from the table but when he didn't move away from her personal space she placed her fingertips on his chest and pushed until he took a step back, reiterating, "Like I said, the pub's closed."
"The door's not locked," he replied, as if that explained his being there as she turned to continue wiping down the table.
"I don't care if the door's blown off its hinges, we're closed," she shot back, knowing he was probably staring at her butt as she leaned over the table.
"I just wanted to apologize for earlier," Munder explained, making her freeze and stand tall, but she didn't turn back to him. "Dodge shouldn't have slapped your ass, and I shouldn't have said what I did. You're actually pretty cute for a barkeep."
Megan gave a very slight smile before turning a straight face to him and guessing, "You're not the type to apologize for nothing, I'm sure. What do you want?"
Munder's gaze narrowed at her and he lifted his hands in hopelessness as he turned back to the door, calling, "Not a damn thing. Enjoy your night, Miss Know-it-All."
"Hey, wait!" she called back, but he didn't stop and she ran toward the door to press her back against it, blocking his way as he looked down at her with a frown. "Now it's my turn. I'm sorry I said that. Sometimes, I can't control my mouth, ya know? I'm so used to guys hitting on me and trying to get something from me I just shoot my mouth off without thinking. Your friend isn't hurt from when I kicked that chair out from under him, is he?"
Munder's frown disappeared as he shrugged, "Only his pride. But he'll get over that."
"Good," Megan nodded, and glanced toward the bar before waving to him to follow her as she stepped toward it. "Come on. Have a drink on the house since I was such a bitch."
"Well, if you insist," he shrugged with a smirk, following her to the bar and sitting on a stool to lean on the bar as she grabbed a bottle from the cabinet behind her and two glasses.
"This is the good stuff," she smiled, pouring it into the glasses. "I only pour this when I've been a bitch. It's a nice apology, don't ya think?"
"Definitely," Munder smirked.
Megan set the bottle down and slid one of the glasses closer to him as she raised her glass.
"Cheers," he smiled, and they tapped their glasses before downing their drinks.
"So-!" Megan choked and coughed to clear her throat before asking, "When do you ship out again?"
"A few days," he replied, setting his glass down. "Gotta check the books on the ship we brought in and we're outta here when we get our money."
"Where you headed after this?" she wondered, leaning on the bar with an elbow and propped her chin in her hand.
"I'm gonna have Murphy drop me off on Catalina Island for a while," he smirked, then joked, "Wanna come?"
"Sure," Megan shrugged, snapping his wide-eyed gaze to her and she looked back at him with a frown to shrug, "What? I've never been there, but I've heard some good stories about it."
"I was kidding," Munder chuckled.
"I'm due for a holiday," she smiled, stepping toward a door behind the bar. "Stay right there and I'll get a few things. I don't pack much."
"But, the bar-!"
"Pubs are a dime a dozen out here, mate," she smirked, opening the door to reveal a flight of stairs. "Where one is closed another is open. Besides, my customers need to start findin' other places to hang out besides here. Broaden their horizons."
"I sleep on a tugboat!" he called as she headed up the stairs.
"I don't take much room!" she called back. "I'll only be a second!"
Munder sighed, lowering his head into his arms on the bar. He didn't think she'd take it seriously. It was a joke. He thought she'd get angry, thinking he was hitting on her, which he was. He couldn't help it. Whenever he was around attractive girls, he had to hit on them. It was habit. A tick. It was about to get him in trouble.
"Oh, shit!" he hissed, and scrambled up over the bar counter to run up the stairs, turning to the only door at the end to his right and knocked. "Hey! You can't come! Murphy's gonna kill me!"
"I thought he liked me," she retorted on the other side of the door.
"Doesn't mean he wants you on his boat!" Munder shot back.
"How rude!" she called, and he heard her giggle for the first time.
"Look, I was kidding! It wasn't a real offer! Stop packing!"
The door suddenly swung open and Munder found his arms filled with a girl he'd just met, grunting when she rammed into him and he hit the wall behind him at the same time. Megan's arms were tightly wrapped around his chest as her face buried itself in into his plaid shirt.
"I need to get outta here," she breathed, not looking up at him as his hands set themselves on her shoulders. "Take me with you, please? I promise I won't be trouble. I'll even help on the boat if you-"
"Yeah, right, like Murphy's gonna let that happen," he muttered, gently pushing her off enough to look at her. "What's so bad around here that you feel like you need to leave, huh?"
"The men!" Megan cried. "They're all assholes!"
"We're assholes too," Munder retorted. "Or did you forget about the swat on the ass Dodge so graciously bestowed upon you?"
"But you all left me alone after that," she recalled. "You were all nice to me, even after I kicked his chair out from under his arse. Anybody else around here would have kept on hitting on me or tried to get even. You guys are different. And you travel with a girl already, so it won't be much different if I'm around!"
"Epps isn't much of a girly-girl, ya know?" Munder chuckled. "She'd take out any one of us in a tussle."
"Munder, please," Megan breathed, their gazes locking and he could see she was desperate. "I wanna see the world too. I'm sick of just running this pub. You can leave me on Catalina Island when we get to America, I don't care. Just please, take me with you."
Munder stared into her amber eyes for a moment. She was getting teary-eyed. Damn, he couldn't stand it when women started crying. It made him wanna give them whatever they wanted without thinking of the consequences, and sometimes, that got him in trouble with police, boyfriends he didn't know about, or Murphy. The third mentioned was the one he was about to get a beating from, but right now, he couldn't bare to see this girl cry.
"Fine," he sighed in defeat, and Megan's face lit up in a bright smile, the first he'd seen from her since they met. "But you stick with me and do exactly as I tell you. Got it? You're gonna end up my responsibility, I just know it."
Megan nodded vigorously and threw her arms around him again for a tight hug as she breathed, "Thank you, Munder. You won't regret this."
"I hope not," he muttered.

He did not elaborate on any plans, the report said.
Costolo told the conference that his recent visit to China allowed him to talk with Chinese companies that advertise on Twitter about ways they can work together.

Columbus Crew have essentially said goodbye to veterans Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Frankie Hejduk by declining the option to extend their contracts.
The experienced pair will not be at the club in 2011 as the Crew begin planning for the future following a disappointing end to 2010.
37-year old Argentine striker Schelotto made 102 league appearances for Columbus, scoring on 33 occasions. He led the club to the 2008 MLS Cup and won two Supporter's Shields in 2008 and 2009 as well as MLS MVP in'08.
Hejduk was Schelotto's partner in crime during this successful period for the Crew but the club is prepared to let them go to take a step forward.

Then one day in her second semester of college, her chemistry teacher mentioned a new Biotechnology Instrumentation class that was combined with a summer internship in a research lab. Sabrina decided to enroll in the class because: 1) she was curious about how scientific research could be applied to her Nutritional Science degree and 2) she was intimidated by conducting experiments and thought that doing more lab work will help her get over this fear. It has been 3 years since her first research experience and she has not only developed a love for bench work, but has also added Molecular and Cellular biology as a second major to better understand the science behind nutrition-related health conditions. She now wants to be a Research-Dietitian and hopes to start her PhD in Nutrition in the Fall of 2012.

Mexico City, Mexico
My Rating
This tour was amazing! There were seven other travelers, 2 from Australia, 3 from Mexico (Cabo San Lucas) and 2 from New York City. The tour operators, Mildred and Martin were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I was picked up at the JW Marriott in Polanco right on time. On our way to pick up the other tourists, we stopped to take pictures of various things, such as the Angel of Independence Shrine. Our first "real" stop at Tlatelolco and the St. James Church included an unexpected addition to our tour, an EARTHQUAKE! Fortunately for us, the 7.2 quake was centered 170 miles southwest of us. People streamed out of buildings and things were swaying, which made it a touch scary for a moment but things went back to normal as people realized there was no immediate damage and we continued on our way. We stopped for a 15 minute discussion from Mildred and then we continued on to Teotihuacan. It took about an hour to get to the pyramid complex. First, we stopped at a market. I liked the stop, which included tequila tasting although the vendors are very pushy. After about 45 minutes or so at this marketplace, we finally got to the the Teotihuacan site. It of course was amazing. There were long lines but it was worth it. Again, Mildred filled us in on all sorts of information about the site. We stayed for a few hours, then we left for the included lunch, which was at a restaurant right outside the compound. The lunch was excellent. It was buffet-style and the food was outstanding. You are responsible for drinks, however but they are reasonably priced. Finally, after a thunderstorm, Martin navigated some back streets and got us to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The complex once again was amazing. It rained again but it was refreshing. It was nice to visit on Good Friday! I cannot recommend this tour enough. Martin and Mildred are as friendly as anyone I have ever met and the price is right; you should GO!

This came from LGBTQ Nation. Link follows.
"Gay rights advocates scored a major victory in federal court today, as a U.S. District Court judge in Boston struck down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, the federal law that defines marriage as a legal union exclusively between one man and one woman."
The court's reasoning?
"...the passage of DOMA marks the first time that the federal government has ever attempted to legislatively mandate a uniform federal definition of marriage–or any other core concept of domestic relations, for that matter.
Congress undertook this classification for the one purpose that lies entirely outside of legislative bounds, to disadvantage a group of which it disapproves. And such a classification, the Constitution clearly will not permit."
Well said, in my opinion.

Bills to allow WR Jones to become free agent
The Buffalo Bills are cutting ties with receiver Donald Jones by allowing him to become a free agent after declining to tender the third-year player a contract offer on Thursday.
''We have made the decision to not re-sign Donald. We're going in a different direction,'' general manager Buddy Nix said in a statement released by the team. ''And this move today gives Donald the opportunity to catch on with another team early in the process.''
Jones will now be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent on March 12.
This is the Bills' first significant roster move since Doug Marrone took over as coach last month in replacing Chan Gailey, who was fired after three losing seasons.
Jones made the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2010. Despite showing signs of promise, injuries and inconsistent play limited Jones' ability to prove himself as a regular starter opposite Stevie Johnson.
Jones had a career-best 41 catches for 443 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games last season. He missed the final three games due to an undisclosed medical condition, which Jones said shouldn't prevent him from continuing to play.
Overall, he has 82 catches for 887 yards and six touchdowns in 35 career games, including 22 starts.
The Bills have decisions to make regarding other players before free agency opens.
Starting safety Jairus Byrd and left guard Andy Levitre are both eligible to become unrestricted free agents.
Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's future is uncertain. He has five years left on his contract, and is due a $3 million bonus next month.
Marrone, who spent the previous four seasons turning around the Syracuse Orange, is in the midst of evaluating his roster and hasn't yet determined Fitzpatrick's future. The Bills have yet to contact Fitzpatrick regarding his future or allow him the option to restructure his current contract.
The Bills also have the option to tender third-year receiver David Nelson a contract to retain his rights.

Milan /ˈmaɪlən/[1] is a town in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The Town of Milan is in the northern part of the county.
The area that comprises Milan today was the western part of the Little Nine Partners Patent of 1706. Milan was largely a farming and mill town and remains a very rural town today.
The first settler in the area was Johannes Rowe. The son of a Palatine immigrant, Rowe bought 911 acres (3.69 km2) from Robert Livingston and built a stone house in 1766 on what is now Rowe Road near the Milan Town Hall.[2][3] The remains of the house were photographed in 1940 for the Historic American Buildings Survey.
Town and Post Office est. 1818[edit]
The New York State Legislature voted on March 6, 1818 to create the town of Milan from the western part of the Town of North East—to be effective "from and after the last day in March" 1818.[4] The session laws stated that the first town meeting would be held the first Tuesday of April and at the home of Stephen Thorn who was elected Town Supervisor along with John F. Bartlett, Town Clerk.
Two 19th century histories of the town of Milan and Dutchess County (1877 and 1882) state there is no knowledge or evidence as to why the name "Milan" was chosen.[2][5]
But the name Milan had appeared in other areas of the state and it was not unusual to take European city names at the time. What is now the City of Syracuse was known as Milan for a brief period between 1809 and 1812. A settlement 40 miles (64 km) south of Syracuse was originally called Milan in 1790 before incorporation in 1802 as the Town of Locke.[6] An unincorporated village there continued to be referred to as Milan[7] but gave up its Milan Post Office designation on July 29, 1817, becoming "Locke" Post Office. This cleared the way for the operation of the Milan Post Office on August 14, 1818 at what is now Case's Corners.[8]
So in 1818 the name "Milan" was secured for both the town and one of the hamlet Post Offices.
A town "in-between"[edit]
The main thoroughfares for the community ran from the Hudson River to Salisbury, CT and travelers referred to the road as the "turnpike." It later became recognized as the Salisbury Turnpike and sections of the road still exist today and bear that name.
In addition to farming and local mills in Milan, lead and iron were mined in areas around what is now Millerton, NY and Salisbury, CT which was then brought to Livingston's Furnaces at Ancram in Columbia County. Milan was "in-between" those towns and the river and as a result had a great deal of important commercial traffic going east/west through the town.[8]
Remains least populous town[edit]
The early population peaked in 1840 at 1,745 residents and went into decline until 1930 with only 622 residents.[9] It was the opening of the Erie Canal (1825) and then the development of the railroad and the move to river cities and the western migration that caused the decline. Also, Milan's soil was hilly and rocky and tough to farm. Then following the 1930s and the Great Depression the population grew again, due in part to the construction of the Taconic Parkway which ended in Milan at the time, and then the post World War II boom.
The 1840 population level was reached again in 1980, some 140 years later. From the 1980s to the turn of the new century Milan was one of the fastest-growing towns in Dutchess County.[9]
Milan remains the least populous town in Dutchess County.[10]
State Historic Markers[edit]
Partial list of New York State Historic Markers in Milan:
- Jackson Corners—Colonial Inn: Built About 1773 Stage Inn, Doctor's Office, Hotel, Store, Post Office Of Jackson Corners.
- Jackson Corners—Nobletown Road: Running From Post Road In Livingston, Through Gallatin, Ancram, State Line, Nobletown, To Barrington, N.H. In Use Before 1798.

- Turkey Hill Road—Burial Ground: Chief Crow And Other Mohican Shacomecos Of Moravian Faith Buried Here. Last Burial About 1850.
Geography and roads[edit]
According to the United States Census Bureau the town has a total area of 36.3 square miles (94.0 km²), of which, 36.1 square miles (93.5 km²) of it is land and 0.2 square miles (0.5 km²) of it (0.52%) is water.
The north town line is the border of Columbia County, New York.
The Taconic State Parkway runs north/south along the eastern part of the town. The entire highway, including its supporting structures, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
New York State Route 199 runs east/west through the town of Milan—going to Red Hook and over the Kingston–Rhinecliff Bridge to the west. It is the direct route to Pine Plains and Millerton to the east.
New York State Route 308 connects Route 199 in southwest Milan to Rhinebeck. It is a short state highway, only 6.19 miles (9.96 km) in length.
Parks and recreation[edit]
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation owns, manages and maintains two Multiple Use Areas in Milan. Both are east of the Taconic State Parkway.[11]
The Lafayetteville Multiple Use Area comprises 769 acres (3.11 km2) with an entrance on Route 199 between the Taconic State Parkway and New York State Route 82.[12]
The Roeliff Jansen Kill Multiple Use Area is 125 acres (0.51 km2) and is accessed from a pull-off on the east side of the Taconic State Parkway near the Roeliff Jansen Kill.[12]
Dutchess County owns, manages and maintains the 615 acres (2.49 km2) Wilcox Memorial Park on Route 199—3.4 miles east of Taconic State Parkway.[13]
The town of Milan owns, manages and maintains the Milan Rec Park on South Road. It contains a softball field, children's play area and has a trail maintained by the Milaners Youth Group.[14] It is also the location of the recycling and transfer station.
Dutchess County Tourism offers scenic driving tour that includes the town.[15]
Development pressures[edit]
In 2002 the Durst Organization, largely known for its high-rise developments in Manhattan, bought 2,300 acres (9.3 km2) that straddles the town of Milan and Pine Plains with plans to create a second home and recreational community.[16]
The original proposal included almost 1,000 homes along with golf courses. Durst's January 2010 revised plans would allow for 624 homes (572 in Pine Plains and 52 in Milan).[17]
By 2002 Red Wing Sand and Gravel of East Fishkill, New York had bought two large parcels in the northern part of the Milan (269 acres (1.09 km2) on Turkey Hill Road and 163 acres (0.66 km2) on Academy Hill Road) with a view to operating two large-scale mines. But on March 30, 2010 the Supreme Court of the State of New York ruled in favor of the Town of Milan and its town-wide ban on mining.[18] The town was defended successfully by the office of the New York State Attorney General, preventing the mining company from proceeding to develop mines at those locations.
The 2000 Census was corrected due to an error in the total population count of Milan. Corrected population counts result from a process called the Count Question Resolution Program. Milan's total population in 2000 was 2,356, not 4,559 as originally reported. Due to the original error in total population, The US Census Bureau corrected four categories; Total Population, Total Housing Units, Vacant Housing Units and Group Quarters Population. They failed to correct any other data rendering the 2000 Census useless for demographic study. The resulting demographic data cited below is from the 2000 Census with almost all of it being incorrect.
As of the census[19] of 2000, there were 4,559 people, 882 households, and 612 families residing in the town. The population density was 126.3 people per square mile (48.8/km²). There were 1,090 housing units at an average density of 30.2 per square mile (11.7/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 60.63% White, 27.22% African American, 0.66% Native American, 0.75% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 9.87% from other races, and 0.83% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 15.68% of the population.
There were 882 households out of which 35.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 58.5% were married couples living together, 6.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.6% were non-families. 23.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.62 and the average family size was 3.14.
In the town the population was spread out with 14.2% under the age of 18, 7.7% from 18 to 24, 49.8% from 25 to 44, 21.7% from 45 to 64, and 6.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 299.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 364.2 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $54,491, and the median income for a family was $65,250. Males had a median income of $26,473 versus $27,500 for females. The per capita income for the town was $19,002. About 2.8% of families and 4.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 4.6% of those under age 18 and 6.3% of those age 65 or over.
