The investigation into hazing allegations by members of the University of Wisconsin-Madison marching band stemmed from complaints from parents of two male freshman band members, according to documents released Monday.
A few previously unreported examples of inappropriate behavior by band members included singing a cadence that includes the word vagina, placing a condom on a banana and a game involving alcohol in which some band members formed a "hamster cage" for other students using torn up pages of phone books.
The Journal Sentinel obtained the records through a request under the state's open records law.
The entire 315-member band was suspended Oct. 3 and kept from playing in the Ohio State game so the university could investigate accusations of hazing. In the Oct. 3 news conference, band director Mike Leckrone said the hazing accusations involved alcohol and inappropriate sexual behavior.
After the investigation, the university found the band had a culture that allowed demeaning and inappropriate behavior. The band was reinstated and allowed to play again Oct. 10 and some students faced disciplinary action.
An Oct. 3 letter to band parents said allegations included students "being sexually fondled against their will," but Dean of Students Lori Berquam later said she regretted some of the language of the parent letter because reports of sexual fondling were unsubstantiated.
The main complaint behind the allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior was a game that was not widespread in which a blindfolded freshman male was told he was to remove someone's bra and the person turned out to be another male with a stuffed bra on.
The investigation report from Associate Dean of Students Kevin Helmkamp confirmed other behaviors had taken place, including a boredom-busting activity for bus rides in which some upperclassmen stuck an apple between their buttocks and dropped it into a hat.
Berquam said Monday she felt Leckrone made the best decision with the information he had when he decided to suspend the band. She also said it was unfortunate that band members who took no part in the hazing incidents felt they were deemed guilty by association.
"They really also in some ways suffered here, and have a tarnished reputation, fair or not, because of the actions of those who demonstrated these behaviors . . . But I don't think professor Leckrone had another option," Berquam said.
Freshmen forced to drink alcohol
The first parent complaint, an Oct. 2 e-mail, said that the sender's son was initiated into the band "in a way that was both humiliating and required him to violate . . . personal morals, standards and convictions against consuming alcohol."
The parent said he was complaining despite his son's reluctance and expressed concern about how the matter would be handled so as to avoid retribution.
"What can be done to correct this situation in a way that does not cause grief . . . for the students who are opposed to this 'frat' type environment?" the e-mail says.
The second complaint, a three-page Oct. 2 letter to Chancellor Carolyn "Biddy" Martin, says the parent's son was forced to drink concoctions of mustard, ketchup and chicken broth mixed with liquor, sit in the bus bathroom for an hour or two at a time while adult band staff members were on the bus and have his head shaved in a way that "looked hideous on national television."
The father who wrote the letter also said in an e-mail that his son, also a freshman, wanted to withdraw from the band after being hazed.
The complaints do not name specific individuals behind the harassment.
As a result of the complaints and interviews with the two accusers and their parents, the university interviewed 62 band members and most section leaders, according to a letter from Helmkamp.
A standard script was used to interview students based on the specific allegations made in the complaints.
"During the interviews, all specific behaviors that we inquired about were confirmed as having occurred," Helmkamp wrote. "Virtually all interviewees indicated that they were not forced to do any activity."
Since the investigation concluded, the university has installed more oversight over the band, including a new staff member charged with promoting a positive culture and changes to travel policies.

"Why in the World are They Spraying?" Full Length Documentary HD
August 19th, 2012
(Reuters) – Justin Bieber will take a paternity test to counter claims that he fathered a baby boy with a young California woman after a brief backstage encounter last year, a source close to the singer said on Monday.
The Canadian singer also is contemplating legal action against the woman for defamation, his spokesman said.
Bieber, 17, spent much of last week denying the claims made by Mariah Yeater, 20, in a paternity lawsuit filed in San Diego, saying he had never met her. Yeater gave birth to a baby in July that she claimed was the result of having sex in a backstage bathroom with Bieber after a Los Angeles concert in 2010.
"Justin's team chose to proactively make arrangements for him to take a DNA test to put this to rest when he gets back from Europe," a source close to the singer said.
Yeater asked for a paternity test and is seeking child support in her lawsuit.
"It's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims," a spokesman for the singer added.
"We'll vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protect Justin and to hold those involved with bringing this suit accountable for their actions," he added
Teen heartthrob Bieber won award for best pop act and top male singer at the MTV Europe awards in Belfast on Sunday in a show hosted by his Disney Channel star girlfriend Selena Gomez.
He is expected to return to the United States from Europe in about two weeks time.

Un Jardin En Mediterranee - but love them all and glad they're in my collection.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
I like them all but below are in order from the most to the least favorite.
1. Sur le Nil
2. La Mousson
3. Mediterranean
4. Sur le Toit
Un Jardin Apres la Mousson
Well, it's cheaper than therapy... edit: No it's not...
1. Mediterranee
2. Sur le Nil
3. Sur le Toit
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find la Mousson to test it out. I'll most likely be purchasing Med once spring comes around, though.
Sur le Nil. Borderline too feminine, but I ran it by a career fashionista and it's supposedly considered dude-friendly. In any event, I like it and the raw materials are absolutely top quality. Amazingly so.
Love Sur le Nil
I don't get on with fig
never tried Sur le Toit
Mediteranee is technically my fave but- I wear Sur Le Nil more because a lovely Basenoter gifted me the matching lotion and it's just too scrumptious worn together.
Really disliked Mousson.
Want Sur Le Toit.
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
Un Jardin En Mediterranee
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
1. Un Jardin Sur le Nil
2. Un Jardin Sur le Toit
Close competition for me between Mediteranee and Sur Le Toit.
seems like Mediterranee is the favourite.
I personally don't like the dominant fig note in Mediterranee, making it my least favourite.
I think my favourite is Sur Le Toit. I love the delicate warm violet note in it.
My second favourite would be Mousson.
Thanks to everyone for your comments !
RARE PERFUME DECANTS (closed group) FACEBOOK !
I don't get a dominate fig in Mediterranee. I get a lovely mint mixed with woods and musk. I am not a fan of fig at all and would detest it if I got a prominent note of it. If I remember, Sur le Toit was too sweet and slightly fem. Mousson was cold and uninspired, though I need to revisit this one to be sure.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I do agree with you that Toit is more feminine, but it's still my favourite. I get a violet note that's not listed, so it's probably the rose I am smelling.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS (closed group) FACEBOOK !
Un Jardin En Mediterranee - I have it and absolutely love the figgy greenness at the heart. Amazing, modern fragrance.
CURRENT TOP TEN FOR Spring/Summer:
1.) The Different Company De Bachmakov
2.) Vetiver Fatal
3.) Bel Ami Vetiver
4.) LampBlack
5.) Frank No. 2 L.A.
6.) Cartier Declaration Essence
7.) Frederick Malle's VE/Sycomore
8.) Xerjoff Nio
9.) Byredo Bal D'Afrique
10.) Bond no. 9 Scent of Peace
I discovered I own Après la Mousson.
It has an unfortunate cucumber/rotten melon note that I find disagreeable.
Un Jardin Sur Le Nil. Its on my target list to purchase. I really like this one.
Beauty is in the nose of the beholder.
Un Jardin Sur Le Toit
Mediteranee for sentimental reasons.

Nicholas Sparks was born on New Year's Eve, 1965, in Omaha, Nebraska, to Patrick Michael Sparks, a professor, and Jill Emma Marie (née Thoene) Sparks, a homemaker and optometrist's assistant. He was the middle of three children, with an older brother Michael Earl "Micah" Sparks (1964-) and a younger sister, Danielle "Dana" Sparks (1966-2000), who died at the age of 34. Sparks has said that she is the inspiration for the main character in his novel A Walk to Remember.
Sparks was raised as a Roman Catholic and is of German, Czech, English and Irish ancestry.
His father was pursuing graduate studies, and the family moved a great deal, so by the time Sparks was 8, he had lived in Minnesota, Los Angeles, and Grand Island, Nebraska. In 1974 his family settled in Fair Oaks, California and remained there through Nicholas's high school days. He graduated in 1984 as valedictorian from Bella Vista High School, then enrolling at the University of Notre Dame, having received a full track and field scholarship. In his freshman year, his team set a record for the 4 x 800 relay.Sparks majored in business finance and graduated with honors in 1988. He also met his future wife that year, Cathy Cote from New Hampshire, while they were both on spring break. They married in July 1989 and moved to Sacramento, California.

teamLab, Ultra Subjective Space
Pace Gallery, NYC
July 17 - August 15
teamLab, a Japanese digital artists collective led by Toshiyuki Inoko, refer to themselves as "ultra-technologists." Their first U.S. exhibition is currently at Pace Gallery in West Chelsea. Ultra Subjective Space is made up of five large-scale digital monitor pieces and digital installation. The pieces are made up of small details which each tell a mythological tale. The programs are random. Each scene, each moment is unique and never repeated, the work is not pre-recorded. In Flower and Corpse Glitch, for example, (very detailed) flowers grow, they loose their bloom, loose their petal, then grow elsewhere but we aren't able to distinguish where. They grow differently and we see their growth differently. Very surreal.
Inspiration: Seventeenth-century Japanese Art and contemporary forms of anime.
Medium: Digital media
My Favorite Piece: Flower and Corpse Glitch Set of 12, a mythological tale about Japanese civilization, natural disaster, war and eventual rebirth all told on high definition monitors.
Pace Gallery: Founded in Boston in 1960, Pace Gallery is now a leading contemporary art gallery with ten locations worldwide, five of which are located in New York City. Pace on 534 West 25th Street is still exhibiting Tara Donovan's incredible installation, Untitled (read more: here). Their gallery on 510 West 25th Street is where you will find teamLab's exhibition. While viewing the work I was lucky enough to eavesdrop on a tour that a member of the gallery was giving to friends of on of the artists. He noticed and gave me a tour afterwards which was fantastic. Great reception!
"Speaking of sound, I think Japanese painting also encompasses the elapsing of time, something very different from Western art. It's a matter of course for paintings to feature four seasons all in one piece. Quite the opposite from Western art, these images never bother themselves with duplicating an exact moment seen by the naked eye. Instead, they take a birds-eye view of nature. It's essentially God looking down at a scene. This was considered the norm." - Yuji Yamashita

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | Sep 07, 2009 | Total plays: 9,760
The song above, Flaming Arrow, happens to be one of the outstanding tracks, but as I made pretty clear in the last paragraph, it can't speak for the album. So, i'll ago ahead and add another: Simple Stones. With a groovy baseline, catchy clapping, and vocals that almost have me asking, "wait, is that phil collins?", it's as close as I think I can come to providing another slice of this genre-bending album.
All-in-all, this genre-explosion of an album has me pretty excited. I wish I could share the whole album with you, but that's what iTunes is for, right? Get out there and support these guys!
This young quartet""all in their twenties""consisting of K Ishibashi (lead vocals), Zac Colwell (lead guitar), Dave Heilman (drums) and Pat Dougherty (bass), has a knack for unifying their contemporary style with a range of musical influences. Sunshower is the result of Jupiter One's experienced ear. The band's chain of events since forming has been quite impressive, from selling out NYC's hot bed of music venues, to releasing their self-titled EP in 2005, to hooking up with music industry legend Jac Holzman (yes, the man who signed The Doors) who ended up sequencing their 2007 debut full-length.
And considering that most of America has already heard their music in NBC's hit show Heroes or in high profile TV ad campaigns for MLB's Opening Day "˜09, NASCAR Talladega Race '09, Madden NFL '08, Payless and Mazda, it's clear Jupiter One has come a long way from the traveling circus. Yes, Barnum Kaleidoscope is where Virginian-born K Ishibashi and Austin native Zac Colwell met as touring musicians, and where the two planted the seeds for Jupiter One. Having quit their day jobs, the new Jupiter One, with the addition of former STOMP member and New Jersey-born Dave Heilman and Delaware-raised Pat Dougherty, continue to rock stage shows Stateside and breathe new life into their ever-evolving sound. - musicremedy.com

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report) plans to increase the number of so-called "Neighborhood Market" stores, its smaller concept store, by nearly 75% over the next 18 months.
Bill Simon, Wal-Mart's president and CEO of its U.S. operations, said on Wednesday that the world's largest retailer plans to have 500 of the smaller stores open within the next 18 months, up from a current 290. Simon spoke at a luncheon presentation at the Goldman Sachs Annual Global Retailing Conference.
In an effort to reach more customers in urban settings and geographies that can't support a traditional "Supercenter", the Bentonville, Ark.-based company is focusing on two small-store concepts: its "Neighborhood Market" and "Walmart Express," that are meant to compete directly with grocery stores, discount/dollar stores and drug stores.
Wal-Mart's Neighborhood Market stores are sized on average at 38,000 square feet, considerably smaller than its traditional "Supercenter," which average around 182,000 square feet. The number of Wal-Mart U.S. stores, including "Supercenters," Sam's Clubs and others total 4,713, according to the company's web site. (Including international stores, the number of stores climbs to 10,955.)Additionally, "Walmart Express," its smallest concept with store sizes, on average, around 15,000 square feet, has 19 units. Simon says the pilot phase for Walmart Express is "performing very well" with double-digit comparable sales. However, as Wal-Mart builds more small stores, it's learning that large-store efficiency isn't necessarily compatible with a small store. Simon said the returns from its "Neighborhood Market" stores are approaching 'Supercenter' returns, however he acknowledged the company had to refine its business model for the smaller stores to create operating efficiency. That included smaller assortments, changes to delivery frequency, even changes to its point-of-sale system and adding a district supervisor specifically for the smaller stores, among other things, he noted. We're "learning a lot about servicing and constructing

OMAHA, Neb. — A blistering 2013 season and fast start to the 2014 campaign have landed juniors Zade Denton and Jordan Edgerton on the initial watch list for the Jaeger Sports Tino Martinez Award which is given annually to the most outstanding player in NCAA Division II baseball.
The honor marks the second-straight year the Edgerton has appeared on the watch list, while Denton was tagged with the recognition for the first time in his career. Six different UNCP players have appeared on the watch list since the award's inception during the 2010 season. Former all-American pitchers Braxton Lewis (2011-12) and Ethan Carter (2013) were eventually named finalists for the award.
Nominations for the award were made by baseball sports information contacts and media members. Omission from the initial list does not exclude additional players from future consideration. Semi-finalists will be announced on May 12 with the finalists named on May 26.
After the finalists are named fans will help determine the winner through an online vote and the winner will be announced after the conclusion of the DII Baseball Championship in May.
Edgerton is hitting .483 through 13 games and has 13 extra-base hits, 18 runs batted in and 17 runs scored. He was named the national hitter of the week earlier this season by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and earned Peach Belt Conference Player of the Week honors as well.
Denton, a Dallas native, has compiled a .315 batting average in 13 starts at shortstop, while also registering six doubles, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored. A PBC all-academic team honoree in 2013, Denton hit .339 with five home runs, 43 RBI and 42 runs scored.
Hickman nabs 2nd weekly PBC award
AUGUSTA, Ga. — On the heels of an 8-0 shutout win against No. 18 Montevallo on Saturday, University of North Carolina at Pembroke pitcher Garrett Hickman was named the Peach Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week for the second time.
Hickman, a transfer from Guilford Tech Community College, threw eight scoreless innings to clinch the series on Saturday night. He retired the first eight batters he faced and finished with six strikeouts, five walks and four hits allowed. He faced four or less batters in five different innings.
Hickman is 3-0 with a team-best 0.33 ERA this season with one complete game shutout as well as a combined shutout. He has allowed 20 hits and struck out 19 batters in 27 innings pitched.

Troops rescue kidnapped US doctor in Afghanistan
More News from Agence France-Presse
KABUL – US troops rescued a kidnapped American doctor during an operation against Taliban insurgents in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, the NATO force in the war-torn country said.
The rescue mission was launched when intelligence showed that Dr Dilip Joseph was in "imminent danger of injury or death", NATO's International Security Assistance Force said in a statement.
Joseph was abducted on December 5 by Taliban insurgents in the vicinity of Sarobi District, Kabul Province.
"Today's mission exemplifies our unwavering commitment to defeating the Taliban," said General John Allen, the commander of US and ISAF forces in Afghanistan.
"I'm proud of the American and Afghan forces that planned, rehearsed and successfully conducted this operation. Thanks to them, Dr Joseph will soon be rejoining his family and loved ones."
Joseph was now "undergoing evaluations", the statement said, without giving further details.

If an IP on the network visits the same URL multiple times in a given time period we want to calculate the average time between visits. I cant really do a transaction (at least I dont think so) because the events are the same..no begin or end.
I have a search that groups the IP's that visit a URL more than once and also grabs the log entries for each time the URL is visited.
The fields in the output are:
Timestamp, Src_IP, URL, Count
Now for the fun part. Once average time is calculated we want to calculate standard deviation.

ISLAMABAD: In a rare display of anger Pakistan Foreign Ministry on Saturday summoned the U.S. Ambassador to the country, Ryan C. Crocker and lodged a "strong protest" against the reported missile attack by American spy planes in a village in the restive Waziristan tribal agency bordering Afghanistan.
The pre-dawn Friday attacks in Bajaur agency purportedly conducted at the behest of CIA on the basis of intelligence reports that the number of two Al-Qaeda, Al Zawahiri was present in the village which resulted in 18 deaths. It appears Washington has maintained that its forces were not engaged in any operations on the Pakistani side of the border.
It is for the second time in a span of 10 days that Islamabad has protested against intrusion of U.S. led coalition planes intruding into its territory in pursuit of suspected Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants.
Adjournment motion
Meanwhile, Opposition parties in Pakistan have moved an adjournment motion to discuss the situation arising out of the U.S. missile attack.
The motion was jointly moved by the Opposition leader Mian Raza Rabbani and Senator Farhatullah Babar of the PPP, Asfandyar Wali Khan and Ilyas Khan Bilour of the ANP and Muhammad Ishaq Dar of PML (Nawaz). The motion alleged that Government of Pakistan did not react to the situation and was "ambivalent" in its response.

Pair of races for District 31 seat
UPS worker files petition
The election-filing deadline ended Thursday with a UPS hub worker in Cordova submitting a petition to run against Adrienne Pakis-Gillon in the Democratic primary for the former seat held by state Sen. Paul Stanley.
Bobby Baker, 40, of Cordova decided to run because, "I'm not a big fan of career politicians," he said. "There is too much corruption."
A special election for the state Senate District 31 seat will coincide with the Memphis mayoral special election Oct. 15.
Stanley resigned this summer after it was revealed he had an affair with a legislative intern.
Four candidates are running in all -- state Rep. Brian Kelsey of Germantown and financial services consultant James A. Harrell of Cordova in the Republican primary and Baker and Pakis-Gillon of Germantown in the Democratic primary.
Whoever wins in their respective primaries will face off Dec. 1.
If elected to fill the remaining 11 months on Stanley's term, Baker said he might run for one more session: "I would only run to serve two to four years."
A full term for state senators is four years.
Regarding the issues facing the state, Baker said, "I am learning the issues as I go." He is opposed to the consolidating city and county governments.
The district has 130,570 voters. It includes most of Bartlett, almost all of Cordova and Germantown, parts of Hickory Hill and a few East Memphis precincts.

O'Day 22, 1977, Water Inside
The boat was given to me after donation-receiving groups turned it down. No telling how long it had been in the water w/o hauling out. At least two years at the location I got it. Could have called it the Grey Ghost from all the mildew on it. There are barnacles on barnacles. No trailer. A friend towed it to my dock.
Before the tow, there was about half an inch of clear water in the long, narrow compartment below deck. Checked it after the tow of about 45 minutes and the compartment was full of very dirty water. Sunny day enroute. Pumped it out and no new water in the compartment even after several days at my dock and a severe all night downpour.
In checking around the forward berth area, the compartment holding the water tank for the head had totally delaminated and was broken through with a little push. There was water in that space which holds foam flotation blocks.
The anchor rope was damp to the touch before and soaked after the rain. The rope was on the berth near the forward starboard window. I noticed the bolts holding the curved railing (?) at the bow were quite loose.
My main question is, from where could the water in the under deck compartment have come? Could it have entered externally? If so, why no additional water when not moving? And why was this water very dirty as opposed to the small amount of clear water initially? Could it have come from water shifting back as a result of a slight nose-up change in the attitude of the boat due to increased aft weight (me) and a slight upward pull by the tow rope? I found a small DC pump aboard which was taped to the end of a 6' stick. What could that have been for?
One might ask, why bother with this boat? The answer is I'll shortly have 5 grandsons and one granddaughter from 8 to 1 either living with us or nearby. Fixing it up and sailing it will be a great experience for all. Life is still an adventure.

A tribute to the fondest childhood memories of chasing down the ice cream truck, POP UP will bring the child out in you. Our yummy local, artisanal ice cream, gelatos, sorbetos, ice cream sandwiches and popsicles will remind you of what it was like to eat or lick fast on a hot summer day so that melted sweetness doesn't run down your arm! We give you fun summer tunes to help you 'get away from it all', even if it's just for a moment. So, because of all this, we created POP UP, your local ORANGE ice cream bicycle. "It's been incredible to see people's reactions to POP UP so far," said Clair.

Hello i can't uptdate the game so i uninstalled it but then when i would reinstall it it only allowed me to install the demo please help. PS i have paid for the during the indegogo campaign.
That's really weird, we had one other person send us a message saying that happened then they messaged us back 5 min later saying it resolved itself. I'm not really sure what to do to fix it as it's a Desura error rather than a game error, but you can always download the standalone release instead.
Can you play the standalone game (without the launcher) from a USB?
You should be able to, yeah. Just download the standalone and extract it, and you'll be good to go :)
Just a heads up, I made a stuff up in the code that's causing one of Yael's transformation scenes not to show up. I'm getting to work on getting that fixed, really sorry about that.
Where should I send a fix for that bug? I think I fixed the one you meant.
Just posting this little heads up, The Lynn update has been approved and is live for anyone looking to try her out~
"Happy days are here again..." <sings merrily as the program downloads>
THanks,the game does start.
But after I close the game,I can't open it again,Do I have to do this (type code into terminal)everytime I want to start the game?
There was a problem with the packaging with the Bri Route, but that's been fixed with the Lynn version we submitted, so once that's live any future versions should work without a complex workaround.
Sorry, I'm really new to developing games for Mac. Hopefully this all sorts itself out really soon! :)
Highest Rated (17 agree) 10/10
Amazing VN, for being in Alpha, for those wondering why it's $25 it is because once the full game is released those who pre-ordered will get about 6~7 additional characters(total of 13) than those who go for the free version.

Move to transfer staff opposed
Party launches survey on beneficiaries under Indiramma housing
'Civic body was facing severe financial crunch'
VIZIANAGARAM: The TDP district committee has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's reported statement that he would once again chair the meeting of district Collectors on June 26 and 27, 2009 is "ludicrous." His appeal to them to meet every demand of farmers and other sections of people in the next two months was only an attempt to seek their support, rather indirectly, in the elections, said Yedla Ramana Murty, the party district president. He appealed to Collectors not to give scope for partisanship in the forthcoming elections and save the democracy.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Mr. Murty opposed the State Election Commission's decision to transfer Revenue staff from their native districts and announced support to their lunch hour demonstrations on the issue. He said that the party had collected information on the NREGP beneficiaries from Internet and found names of those who were not engaged at all in the execution of works under the programme. The party had also launched a survey on beneficiaries under Indiramma housing scheme.
Floor leader in Vizianagaram Municipality V.S. Prasad said that the civic body was facing severe financial crunch as the administration had failed to collect taxes, due to corruption, even one-third of Rs.15.81crores taxes accrued till the end of December last year. The municipality owes Rs.1.50 crore to sanitation contractors, civil contractors, and others. As a result, no contractor was ready to execute the works already sanctioned. He said that the ruling party was neglecting works in TDP elected wards and added that three bore wells sanctioned three years ago for the 19th ward was not sunk so far. Other leaders S.N.M. Raju, I.V.P. Raju, M. Madhu and others were present.

- Before & After
Women and men looking for an effective treatment for varicose veins that does not include surgery or scarring may want to consider endovenous laser ablation, an advanced vein therapy that is highly effective in most cases. Endovenous laser ablation is virtually pain free and can be performed in less than an hour and without hospitalization. In this minimally invasive procedure, laser energy is used to seal faulty veins, which results in a reduction or complete closure of the vein. A trained professional administers endovenous laser ablation to patients in a doctor office setting as an outpatient procedure. Ultrasound imaging is used to map the veins of the legs, as well as to direct the insertion and placement of a laser fiber that is used to deliver the laser energy to targeted veins. Once the provider identifies the faulty veins, a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure patient comfort prior to beginning the procedure. This treatment most often is performed in under an hour and recipients can return to regular activities, except strenuous exercise, right after the procedure. Compression stockings should be worn for one week to ensure proper healing and a follow up visit will be scheduled approximately one week after the initial treatment. Geographical location, practitioner fees and the number of veins to be treated influence the cost of receiving endovenous laser ablation. If the endovenous laser ablation procedure is considered medically necessary in order to alleviate the pain that is often associated with varicose veins, this treatment will likely be covered by medical insurance. Contacting a vein specialist in your area is the best way to learn more about endovenous laser ablation and to determine if this is the best option for you.

On Discipline
As we are in the midst of Ramadan reflecting on what to break our fasts with and attaining spiritual elevation, we cannot help but think about the tremendous discipline that is bestowed upon us during this entire month. So many out there were questioning their body's fortitude, if they can actually survive the 16 plus hours in the heat without food or drink. And yet, somehow, Muslims are coping and also flourishing. There is no doubt that there is a special blessing in Ramadan that facilitates … [Read more...]
Ramadan Maintenance
As the years go by, I continue to make the intention to maintain my "Ramadan passion" when our dear friend passes. And here we are again on the verge of watching our beloved Ramadan leave us. This past year I tried something different and would like to share those experiences with you. When my passion was starting to wane, I held on to its light by enrolling in an online class with Seekers Guidance. Each week the lesson focused on one aspect to apply in my daily life. The aspect I welcomed like a … [Read more...]
Remembering Ramadan at the Intersection
We've seen her regularly over the last couple of years, standing near the corner of a main intersection, waving a promotional sign for a store in the nearby plaza. She's a familiar face to us now and her hand gestures consistent...high, medium and low. She stands in the brutal Canadian winter cold. She stands in the sweltering heat of the summer. And it seems every time we see her, I think about what a tough job she must have. My kids have noticed too; my twelve year-old son has even declar … [Read more...]

Filipino ultra-marathon runner completes Saudi leg of global run
MANILA, Philippines—Cesar Guarin, the pioneering Filipino ultra-marathon runner, ran 60 km in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 1 on the 7th leg of his global run around the world, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Friday.
Starting and ending at the Philippine embassy in Riyadh, Guarin ran around Riyadh and to the Tuwaiq escarpment to complete the 60 km.
Embassy personnel, together with members of the Filipino community, cheered him on.
'Inspiration to us all'
"We are very proud of Cesar. He serves as an inspiration to us all here in the kingdom," the DFA quoted Philippine ambassador Ezzedin Tago as saying.
Guarin, who arrived from Kuwait, proceeded to Oman on Friday.
According to the DFA, the 7th leg of Guarin's global run began in Bahrain and consisted of stops in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. The leg's final stop is in the United Arab Emirates. It involves a solo run of 1,265 km.
So far, Guarin has completed about 17,000 km around the world. He started his quest in the Philippines in 1983, and since then has run across the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia.

Morgan Lucas has it Goin' on—Everyone chill.
Okay, let's review how several of the sport's most popular Top Fuel drivers wound up in the NHRA's quickest and fastest fraternity.How about Brandon Bernstein?
Having a legend for a dad, Kenny, gave him the DNA that any racer would kill for. BB cut his competitive teeth in the Darien and Meadows A/Fuel dragster, won the Division 7 Top Alcohol Dragster title in 2001, and climbed into his father's vacant Top Fuel seat in 2003 after the King of Speed called it a career.
Larry Dixon? Similar deal.
His father, Larry Sr., was a terror in the Howard Cams Rattler 40 years ago, and his son jumped right into Don Prudhomme's empty cockpit in 1995, a year after The Snake turned in his car keys. Larry Jr. was the NHRA Rookie of the Year in 1995, helped along by winning the Mac Tools U.S. Nationals on his first try, and since then has gathered up three Top Fuel world championships.
All right class, how about Tony Schumacher?
A different story for the seven-time champion. Granted, he has a famous drag racing old man, Don, who was a Funny Car team owner and driver in the '70s, but Tony didn't buckle up in a Top Fuel dragster until after he had raced a few door cars and a jet dragster or two. Similar to Dixon, Tony's first appearance at the U.S. Nationals was notable but ended in a near miss, losing in the final to Cory McClenathan. Save your sympathy. The U.S. Army's deadliest offensive weapon has won the Big Go—uh, I forget how many times, but it's a lot.
That brings us to Morgan Lucas. Compared to the previous three examples, Morgan made his way into Top Fuel via a parallel universe. Notice the following contrasts.
His dad Forrest was never a big time racer. Morgan did the Jr. Dragster thing before laboring his way through two years of sportsman racing in Super Comp, unlike his three aforementioned colleagues. And rather than flirting with U.S. Nationals glory in his first visit to the sport's most esteemed event, he nearly stopped his own clock there in 2002 when he overbraked his Super Comp dragster, clobbered the wall and knocked his lights out. The following year (soaring, triumphant symphony music goes here), Morgan won the U.S. Nationals from the pole in Top Alcohol Dragster and won the Division 7 T/AD title, driving the same Darien and Meadows machine that groomed Brandon Bernstein, not to mention Melanie Troxel and Ashley Force Hood.
But maybe the starkest contrast between Morgan's Top Fuel cotillion and that of Bernstein, Dixon and Schumacher—and just about every other Top Fuel fledgling in history (except for Gary Scelzi and you're about to see why)—is that Morgan's first Top Fuel gig was made available because of the death of another driver.
Darrell Russell was fatally injured in St. Louis in 2004. After his team owner, five-time Top Fuel champion Joe Amato, made the decision to soldier on, he awarded the ride to Morgan, a choice that puzzled some since more experienced men were, at that time, languishing in the talent pool—some with rather hefty credentials.
Of course, Scelzi's first Top Fuel opportunity presented itself following the tragic loss of Blaine Johnson at the 1996 U.S. Nationals. And in a truly circuitous twist of fate, it was Scelzi who gave Amato the full court press to hire Darrell Russell when Joe found that his retinas were falling off from the negative Gs generated by his drag chutes deploying and implemented his own personal retirement plan at the end of 2000.
Want more circuitously twisted fate? When he was 11, Morgan took in the AAA Finals in Pomona with his father, where a young Top Alcohol Dragster speed merchant was getting rave reviews. Morgan got this driver's autograph, who then gifted young Lucas with a front wheel from his dragster, which had been pranged. The driver signed it and Morgan got many an autograph from numerous other NHRA stars Sharpied onto that wheel that weekend. The racer who gave him that wheel was Darrell Russell, and to this day it's one of Morgan's most cherished keepsakes. "Sell it?" Morgan asks incredulously. "Never."
Morgan remembers the call he received from Amato's crew chief, Wayne Dupuy, not long after Darrell's fatal accident, offering him the job that changed his life.
"Wayne asked me if I was interested in driving for Joe. This was the break I was waiting for. I asked if there was a sponsor, and Wayne said not to worry about that. Wayne reassured me I'd get good training and that Joe knew I could do the job. My dad wanted to be a sponsor on the car and I was really grateful for that. But I remember how Wayne was still hurting from Darrell's death and that by getting me into the car and getting back to racing, it would be a good distraction for him. I got licensed in Reading [Pennsylvania] and my first race in Top Fuel was in Brainerd [Minnesota]."
Life has a way of putting you where you should be, unless your name is Osama bin Laden. From an early age, Morgan had always pictured himself racing in Top Fuel.
"The first time I ever saw and heard a Top Fuel dragster, I knew that's what I wanted to race," he says. "The thunder of the exhaust, the way it shakes your whole body; I was hooked from that moment on."
He's done double-duty in the past, racing both his Top Alcohol car and fuel car at the same national event but now devotes all his energies to his nitro whip. Born in Corydon (pronounced COR-a-dun), Indiana, Morgan spent most of his childhood growing up in Riverside, California, horseback riding, playing video games and getting taller and lankier with each passing day. He received his first influential exposure to what drag racing was really all about from Jason Rupert and his family, an accomplished Top Alcohol Dragster team. Jason and Morgan remain good friends and it was Rupert who introduced his pal to a host of NHRA A-listers, while Morgan was still getting his feet wet, such as Ken Meadows (of Darien and Meadows) and Gary Densham.
"The Ruperts taught me how to have fun racing," says Morgan. "It was addicting and I felt like I was part of something big, like an extended family. Jason was like a big brother and he had a big impact on me."
Darrell Russell and Gary Scelzi each won in their first pro start (File under: Even more fate that has been circuitously twisted). Morgan, however, did not. In fact, he won his first T/F national event in Atlanta in 2009, five full years after Wayne Dupuy first gave him a buzz. Five years is a long time to wait for that first pro winner's circle, but we'll avoid naming names and embarrassing the lengthy list of drivers who have been out there twice as long and still haven't gone four on Sunday.
Morgan's first successful final round was anything but an artistic milestone. Facing then-rookie Spencer Massey driving for Don Prudhomme, both cars smoked the tires just after they launched, and following a riotous pedal-palooza, Morgan's dragster tossed its blower belt and coasted across the stripe ahead of Massey. Hey, a win is a win, especially when it's your first one as a pro, but watching two enormously powerful Top Fuel Dragsters limp across the finish line—neither under power—is sort of like seeing your elderly grandparents tangle with each other in a UFC cage match.
"I learned a lot about pedaling that day," reveals Morgan.
The Lucas family is pretty tightly wound, and that's apparent whenever Morgan rolls up to the line. His father Forrest, the man at the top of Lucas Oil Products, and his mom Charlotte stand behind their youngest kid in their red, white and blue Lucas Oil crew shirts during every one of his qualifying runs and each one of his matchups in eliminations, hoping to see something good happen.
"My parents are great," raves Morgan. "They've worked really hard and have always been there for me. They've allowed me to be my own person and let me make a lot of my own decisions, maybe too much so at times. My dad isn't strict, but he's not afraid to let me know when I've screwed up. I hate getting those lectures, but there's nothing better than getting a pat on my back from him.
"My mother is the sweetest woman on earth. She's always watching my back and does everything she can for me. My parents and I have disagreements sometimes like every other family, but we get through them. I sometimes have to remind myself they're a lot smarter than I think I am."
Forrest fathered five children from his previous marriage, while Charlotte's first marriage produced one. Morgan's half-brother Greg passed away in his sleep from a heart attack at the age of 35. "That was very tough," the 28-year-old racer recalls. "Something like that really teaches you to appreciate your life."
Morgan relates these various details of his family history with a casual, matter-of-fact tempo and cadence in his voice. He's definitely not a drama king and he seems perfectly equipped to go with whatever flow happens to be flowing that day. If you had to sum up his overall biorhythm, you'd perhaps describe it this way: Kick back, Hoss. I'm chillin' with my major dudes, fly. Cheezin' in my crib, yo. I'm, like totally wrapped up in my game, clutch.
Morgan Lucas will never wear the label of a stress bucket. Having grown up in consummately laid-back Southern California, he gives you the feeling that if a UFO landed in his front yard and a squad of aliens tried to abduct him, he'd just grab a Diet Pepsi and go with them.
You can't help but like him. The more you talk to Morgan Lucas, the more you realize he isn't some prissy, bratty, obnoxious member of the Golden Sperm Club, surfing through life on the rushing headwaters of his parents' bottom line.
"I know I'm fortunate to be in this position. Lots of people would love to be here and I don't want to ever take it for granted. I want to be the best that I can be, and that means being aware of my team's image. We keep our pits clean, our uniforms and race cars clean, and work at being professional out there. My parents have worked their butts off to make all of this possible, and my job is to have my team represent the company. I don't have an actual position at Lucas Oil (http://www NULL.lucasoil NULL.com/), but the race team is a reflection of our business and that's my responsibility."
Morgan and his family believe in the principle of "pay it forward." Their charity golf tournament on the Thursday before the U.S. Nationals at the Eagle Creek Golf Course in Indianapolis raised $35,000 last year.
"You have to give back and it shouldn't always be up to the government to help those who need help," Morgan professes. "We've got to help each other stay afloat."
In the final analysis, there isn't much Morgan Lucas doesn't like about his life. How many young men can look up at an NFL stadium and see his family name over the front door? Lucas Oil Stadium (http://www NULL.lucasoilstadium NULL.com/) is the home of the Indianapolis Colts, and it will bear the Lucas name until 2029.
"It makes you feel like you've made it," Morgan beams. "I'm proud of my dad for making that deal happen."
Although not a regular churchgoer, Morgan considers his spiritual home Racers for Christ, the motorsports ministry that lovingly undershepherds a sizable flock from the NHRA community.
"It's nice to have that concept that someone is up there when you think you're ready to drop. Some people need that and some people don't. My mom and dad both believe in God, my mom more than my dad, and I think they're happy with where they are spiritually right now."
Yup, being Morgan Lucas doesn't suck.
"I'm young, I've got my health, and I get to enjoy some of my dad's labors. I'm 28 and I've got lots of time. My sponsor, Geico, has been great, and I have to admit there are lots of fun perks in all this. I love drag racing and when I retire from driving someday, if I were to run the family's company that would be very important. This is my dad's legacy and someday it may be mine. Lucas Oil has been the most important aspect of my family's life, and I'll always be aware of that. There's still a lot I have to learn about how to run Lucas Oil, but my dad is the best teacher in the world."
And if that isn't enough to put a big smile on his kisser, Morgan's girlfriend Katie Pallone is a dead ringer for a young Heather Locklear.
It's all good, Dawg.

Kinda cool

I think this is a good idea. Dogs wear tags, why cant cats? Mine doesnt seem to mind wearing his but I know some of my friends cats seem to fight with them over this. Depending on what type of personality your cat has, it is a good idea.
Pros: Good idea
Cons: Some cats wont like wearing a collar/tag
