Additional Information
Within your chosen profession you may be required to wear a dress boot for duty, but it is understandable that you don't want to settle for just any black dress boot. If you prefer the look and feel of genuine full grain leather, want a boot that is comfortable, and can be polished up nicely then today you are going to be a very happy man. This particular version of the PRO-CELL dress duty boot is meant for you.The upper is made from full grain leather and will take a nice spit-shine. This is great because not only will you have the look and feel of quality materials, but you will be able to maintain an immaculate appearance.
Within the #00501-8 boot, a double-padded PU collar has been inserted to provide protection and comfort for your ankles.Goodyear welt construction was used in the creation of this boot (along with a storm welt) to give the boot durability, shape-retention, and a solid platform that will keep you standing comfortably throughout hours of wear.
For even more comfort, the PRO-CELL footbed was made with an extra-large integrated energy return heel plug.
Yet, the feature that will set this dress boot apart from the rest is the PRO-CELL mid and outsole system. Why? It is because the system is made up of a removable PU footbed. The footbed has an excellent compression-set. What that means is that your dress duty boot will remain intact and be able to consistently return to its original shape after multiple pressure applications.
Underneath your feet, there is a insole board that has an EVA cushioned filler and midsole. The blown rubber outsole delivers cushioning, and is also oil-resistant. So not only will your dress duty boot be able to maintain its shape and continue to make your appearance look sharp, but your level of comfort will not diminish as you stand.
The blown rubber outsole was made with the traditional 90 ° angle on the front of the heel.
The #00501-8 boot is crafted on a classic, round toe "œnavy " last (so named because this look was first adopted by the US Navy for sailors' shoes that had to fit well and comfortably). It also features a non-metallic stabilizer for support.
The Rocky 5 " Polishable Dress Leather Chukka is an excellent option for you if you are looking for a quality dress duty boot, that will keep your feet alleviated from pain. The #00501-8 is offered in a variety of widths (medium, wide, and extra wide), and sizes (7-14), making it an first-rate boot.

THE KIDS SERVED A RECORD 116,686 MEALS THIS SUMMER! Wauwatosa, WI (August 30, 2012) "Thank you for the lunches you
gave me
and my Auntie these past two months. It was a blessing as this was our
only meal," wrote one youth, who gave the note to a Salvation Army
driver during the last days of Feed the Kids. The Salvation Army's Feed
the Kids meal program, now in its 23rd year, served a record 116,686
lunches to area children this summer. Retired Green Bay
Packer LeRoy Butler made a surprise visit and served
the last of those meals on Friday, August 24. "I used to be one of
those kids. I grew up poor in a Jacksonville, Florida projects, I know
about living in poverty and understand the importance of giving back.
The Salvation Army does great work," said Butler, inventor of the
Lambeau Leap.

"The economy continues to impact many
families' ability to meet basic
needs, even food; 40% of children in Milwaukee are living in poverty.
The Feed the Kids program is a major contributor in continuing
nutritional care throughout the summer and meeting the hunger needs of
children in the Greater Milwaukee area," said Major Roger Ross,
Salvation Army Milwaukee County Commander. The Salvation Army
operated the Feed the Kids program for 10 weeks from
June 19 to August 24 in collaboration with Hunger Task Force, Milwaukee
Public School District, West Allis/West Milwaukee School District,
Milwaukee Center for Independence, Boys & Girls Clubs, Social
Development Commission and Heart Love Place. ### About The Salvation Army The Salvation Army, an
evangelical part of the universal Christian
church established in London in 1865, has been supporting those in need
in His name without discrimination for 129 years in the United States.
Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army
each year through the broadest array of social services that range from
providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance
for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter

In the past five years, I have moved to six different places around the Starkville-MSU area and, quite frankly, I'm sick of it.
Moving is a specific form of first-world torture that claims the souls and disturbs the sleep-cycles of millions of young adults during the last two weeks of July every year.
Apparently, I committed many a sin in a past life to deserve this transitory fate.
With the combination of work, moving and performing in a show, I am legitimately tired. During a particularly late night session of "Who's got the packing tape," I began feeling sick. Concerned that I may have caught something from inhaling the massive amounts of dust and debris that rested behind the television stand, I entered my symptoms into WebMD and waited for an answer.
The internet told me I had been dead for the past 38 minutes, but that seemed fishy.
It seems the Lord has spared me of any actual illness and I am just exhausted. Celebrities check themselves into the hospital for exhaustion all the time, so any mail can be forwarded to my room at OCH for the time being.
Listen to me complain. It's not really all that bad all the time.
Over the years, I've learned how not to get emotionally attached to the items I'm packing away. Instead of finding an old yearbook and crying about my third grade teacher, I am now able to sort and label like a champ.
I have also learned that I am a borderline hoarder with an affinity for those peppermints that bars or restaurants leave at the front door. There were 42 candied breath savers in the back of my closet, and I honest to God do not know how they got there.
I can only find one of my house slippers which is upsetting on many levels, but mostly because what in the name of Sarah Palin am I supposed to do with one house slipper.
I decided to keep it, though. Like the awkward brother of a poor man's Prince Charming, I will keep this slipper in hopes of reuniting the pair and living lazily ever after.
The only real redeeming quality to moving is the sensation of starting over and being able to reinvent yourself or your life in ways that only seem possible in a new location.
Matt 2.0, so to speak.
I am thankful to my roommates from the past, however, because they have allowed me to grow and become someone better with each passing year: two years of halls filled with freshmen that made me want to pull my hair out, while making sure we all stayed friends; a beautifully gifted, artistic cousin who brought the comfort of home and family when I first lived by myself; four talented, learned gentlemen who I had the pleasure of calling brothers; and the two best friends a guy could ask for.

A year after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut took the lives of 20 first graders and six school employees, New York State has some of the toughest laws on gun control in the country.
But with no legislative action yet taken on the federal level, groups advocating for gun control are continuing their fight for safety laws.
Chanting "We will not forget!" members of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, States United Against Gun Violence and Organizing for Action, an advocacy group supporting President Obama's legislative agenda, held a Sandy Hook Remembrance Rally outside Congressman Tim Bishop's Southampton office Saturday afternoon.
Decked in hats, gloves and posters, a group of 17 advocates for gun control braved the snow to honor the victims, survivors and families of the Sandy Hook tragedy, commemorate the actions of Governor Andrew Cuomo and Congressman Bishop in the past year and call on legislators — particularly at the federal level — to do more.
Sue Hornik from States United Against Gun Violence and Sag Harbor's Jackie Hilly, of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, spoke at the rally. They called for closing background check "loopholes," banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, making schools safer and increasing access to mental health services.
"While sadness can be unbearable," Hilly told the crowd, "it should also serve to embolden us to speak out against gun violence."
The event marked the one-year anniversary of the school shooting at Sandy Hook. After Hilly and Hornik spoke, those in attendance read the names of the 26 victims, along with personal anecdotes, and rang a bell after each reading.
Ann Howard from Cutchogue read the name of Dylan Hockley, a six-year-old killed in his classroom who had "beautiful eyes and a mischievous grin" and "a love of bouncing on trampolines."
Hilly thanked Governor Cuomo for making New York the first state to take decisive action after Newtown. The AR-15, the assault weapon used at Sandy Hook, can no longer legally be purchased in New York. Banning such weapons was one of the provisions of the New York SAFE Act, which was proposed by Governor Cuomo and adopted by the state legislature in January, less than a month after the tragedy.
"Now with the new regulations that were adopted in New York State," explained Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr., "if we don't have the most stringent gun control measures, we're in the top two."
State Senator Kenneth LaValle agreed New York has some of the strongest gun control laws in the nation.
"Right after Sandy Hook I think there was a sense of purpose, because young people were killed — senseless murder — in an elementary school by an individual who had mental health issues," said LaValle, " and indeed in every one of these mass shootings, the shooter has a mental health issue."
The SAFE Act established provisions to help identify individuals with mental illnesses and correlate reporting of such illnesses with reporting of firearm ownership. Under the new law, a gun owner living with someone who has been diagnosed with a mental illness has a responsibility to make sure his or her guns are not available to that person.
"That's kind of a good balancing, we believe, between rights and responsibilities," said Hilly, "because you know, the other side is always talking about rights and rarely are they mentioning responsibilities."
Additionally, mental health professionals are now required by law to alert police if they believe one of their patients is likely to hurt themselves or others — and that patient has a gun permit.
The SAFE Act also standardized the time period for renewal of permits across the state. Previously, Long Island and Westchester required gun owners to renew their permits every five years and New York City had a three-year requirement. Now, all of New York — including areas upstate that required renewal less frequently — has a maximum five-year permit renewal requirement (New York City can keep their three-year restriction). This sanction requires permit holders to reaffirm the facts of their permit, for example that they have not been convicted of a felony or diagnosed with a mental illness.
The SAFE Act enhanced the breadth and prevalence of background checks, limited the capacity of magazines from 10 rounds to seven and expanded the definition of assault weapons, such as the AR-15.
The law also aims to end the anonymous purchasing of large stocks of ammunition on the Internet. Rather than going online and having weapons delivered to your home with no regulation, ammunition must now be delivered to a gun dealer, who will then ask for identification (a permit is not required for ammunition).
Although the SAFE Act is a huge victory for gun control advocates, proponents say the state measures are limited by the lack of similar federal legislation. Although criminals are faced with these restrictions in New York, they can easily travel across state lines to purchase weapons and ammunition.
Since Sandy Hook, according to Congressman Bishop, on the federal level, "the short answer is nothing has happened."
Of a number of bills introduced in the House of Representatives to help provide for gun safety, "none of them have moved at all," said Bishop, who sponsored most of them.
In the Senate, an effort to bring up a bipartisan bill to expand background checks for people who wish to purchase firearms failed to garner the 60 votes necessary for it to be considered.
"You can still go on the Internet and buy firearms," Bishop said Monday, "you can still go on the Internet and buy mass quantities of ammunition, you can still purchase a gun at a gun show without undergoing a background check, so basic things that ought to be put in place are not being put in place."
"It pretty much breaks down on party lines," added the Democratic congressman, "Democrats want to pass gun safety legislation, Republicans refuse to."
Bishop said much of the proposed legislation has bipartisan support, "but the leadership of the House of Representatives refuses to move any of them."
"I don't want to say that there's no hope," he said, "but I do think that the track record of the house thus far does not give cause for optimism."

The Lone Star State Left Out To Dry
When the sequester deadline came and went last Friday, it was hardly a surprise. In Congress, Republicans had repeatedly made clear they would be willing to let enormous cuts to discretionary spending take effect rather than compromise with the White House on raising revenue. But cutting off their nose to spite their face hasn't quite worked. As it turns out, the GOP may be defacing its figurehead: the State of Texas.
The economic impact of the sequester on Texas will be enormous. As a Pew Charitable Trusts study shows, Texas receives 8 percent of its state revenue through federal grants, well above the national average of 6.6 percent. Only South Dakota, Illinois, and Georgia receive a higher proportion. One study from George Mason University showed that Texas is among the top three states that will lose out most as a result of the sequester, both in terms of jobs and GDP. The cuts could cost Texas $16 billion in gross state product—1.23 percent of the state's GDP—and as many as 159,000 jobs. It's scary news for a state that's only just beginning to feel the effects of the economic recovery.
The cuts to the state's military bases are especially drastic. Texas, along with California and Virginia, leads the country in Defense Department contracts—an area of spending bearing the brunt of sequestration. According to the White House, Texas will lose $233 million in funding for army bases and $27 million in funding for Air Force operations. An estimated 52,000 civilian workers with the Department of Defense will go on furlough; Fort Hood alone—one of the country's biggest army bases, located in Killeen—could furlough 5,000 civilian workers.
But as the Prospect's Jamelle Bouie points out, the sequester won't just affect those who get furloughed or lose their jobs: It will impact the whole economy. Texas has the most active military personnel in the country—131,500—and the aerospace and defense industries employ a total of 341,000 people there. Entire town economies rely on military families to patronize restaurants, car dealerships, movie theaters, and just about everything else. Many small businesses also work as suppliers to larger defense contractors.
Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke has estimated that the cuts could have a half a percent drag on the U.S. economy, slowing down growth just as states are beginning to feel the effects of the economic recovery. For a state like Texas, just feeling a lift from the recovery and hoping for momentum, the drag is a scary prospect. State Representative Charles Perry, a Lubbock Republican with no relation to the governor, has already begun expressing concern over how the sequester will impact tax revenue. "You could see a decline in consumer confidence and a pull-back in consumer spending," he told his local Fox News station, "which would have a direct impact on sales tax collections." To make matters worse, the sequester cuts would take $2 million away from the state's job-search assistance, meaning 83,750 fewer people would get help finding employment, presumably one of the keys to recovery.
Adding to concerns are the sequester's implications for Texas airports, the gateways for much of the business that happens in state. Air travel is vital in a state that takes nearly 12 hours to traverse by car, and the cuts to air-traffic control will have a widespread impact. Austin's airport is among 60 across the country that will lose an air-traffic controller for its midnight shifts. In addition, 19 small regional airports in Texas are slated to lose their air-traffic-control tower personnel altogether. The U.S. Department of Transportation has already warned that the cuts will mean long waits at some of the country's biggest airports—which will likely include Dallas-Fort Worth and George Bush Intercontinental in Houston.
But perhaps even more concerning is the impact the cuts would have on the state's most vulnerable, for whom the loss of federal dollars will only make worse an already bleak situation. Even before the Great Recession, Texas barely had a safety net. But since 2011, when the Tea Party-led legislature passed a budget that slashed education funding by $5.4 billion, including funding for pre-K, and drained many of the state's welfare programs. Federal dollars have helped maintain several of the key programs that are left, but the sequester cuts could change that.
Most significant, the Texas Education Agency estimates the state will lose a total of almost $518 million, including $67.8 million in Title I funding for schools with high proportions of low-income students. That's equivalent to 930 teacher and teacher's aide jobs, which would impact 172,000 children. Adding to the difficulties schools already face would be the loss of $51 million in funding for children with disabilities. Schools would have to make up for that funding, as the programs are still required by federal law, so the cuts would likely come from elsewhere.
The cuts from the sequester will exacerbate the problems of a system that's already woefully underfunded. While the legislature will likely restore some spending, it will still be billions short of previous levels, even as more needy children are entering the school system. Furthermore, low-income kids won't just be shouldering the sequester cuts at school. As many as 7,000 children could lose their place in Head Start, an early child-care and education program that would lose $43 million in Texas under sequestration. Around 9,700 fewer children will receive vaccinations for basic diseases. It's a scary time for poor families.
As just about everyone keeps pointing out, there's still time to fix these cuts. But Texas lawmakers are in an awkward position. On the one hand, given its reliance on federal grants and the big military bases here, Texas will be among the states hardest hit by the sequester cuts. Yet many conservative legislators in the state are loathe to go to Washington and express support for government programs that are at-risk. In a report from a state House interim committee created to look into the impact of sequester, lawmakers wrote the cuts should serve as "a cautionary tale" about expanding state programs that use federal dollars. Governor Rick Perry has already dug in his heels, refusing the billions of federal dollars that the state would gain by expanding Medicaid. Many of the state's key policymakers have proudly pointed to the state's decision to make drastic cuts rather than consider new revenue streams.
But faced with increasing pressure, even anti-spend Republicans might find themselves advocating for more federal dollars. Recently, even Perry has spoken out against the sequester cuts. "Come on, in a three point however many trillion dollar budget, you can't find 85 billion that's not going to shut down border security, or put our military men and women in jeopardy, or lose a thousand teachers from the classroom?" Perry said. Who knew a President Perry would have been so gung-ho about compromise?

I disagree with the author's contention. Texas will barely notice the sequester.
The much talked about sequestration will have little practical effect on Texas. The sequester may reduce some $334 million of federal funding out of the roughly $92.5 billion in the state's fiscal year ending August 31, 2013:
• This means that sequestration threatens to reduce Texas' budget by 0.36 percent—about one-third of one percent.
• In addition, the Department of Defense would see cuts of about $275 million in Texas, furloughing 52,000 workers for a total reduction of about $5,300 per worker.
• As a portion of Texas' $1.33 trillion economy, the $334 million of threatened cuts in federal state government funding and $275 million in defense expenditures amounts to 0.046 percent, or less than five-hundredths of one percent of the economy.

Spoken like a true Texas Republican. 52,000 Texans with a 20% cut in their salaries? Who cares. State with the highest rate of medically uninsured? Who cares. Most polluted state? Who cares? One of the highest high school drop out rate and teen pregnancy? Who cares as long as I get to live in my segregated walled off community away from those illegals and dark people the world is just fine.

Chuck Devore is just another right-wing nitwit getting Koch or Bass or Malaysian money to tout the party line and tongue-bathe the plutocratic oilmen. That $5300/worker in Killeen represents something like 12% of their average income, which is huge . And assume a regional multiplier of something 3:1 and Central Texas is going to see vary consequential demand-side effects.

As albieon surmised, the TPPF is essentially a Tea Party sort of group. They are nice people (I've been to a number of their presentations here in Austin) but they are SUPER SUPER Grover Norquist conservative, also on education they are very anti-university and anti-higher-education, wanting to turn university education into a largely-online technical-training sort of thing.
So no, I wouldn't take their word for it on sequestration unless you too are a drown-govt-in-a-bathtub person.

OMG, I'm going to come here a lot more often: tongue-bathing the plutocrats? Going down for another round on the throbbing Kochs? FINALLY someone tells it like it ACTUALLY IS!
Not to be outdone are the Grover Norquist types, who feel that now it's OK to show themselves to the rest of America for what they truly are: wanna-be thieves who "don't believe in ANY education" and want to reduce our proud University system to a bunch of trade schools.
To the political "leaders" --both in AND out of jail, in TX (Hi, Tom deLay! Hi, Jack Abramoff--how you boys doing these days??) Good luck with that one, fellas. It'd take more than you bunch of political hookers to accomplish that one---it'd take a state-full of total illiterates to swallow that kind of BS. Even if you imported (for the purpose) the WHOLE ENTIRE STATE OF ALABAMA---you still won't get that kind of inbred nonsense passed, even in this disgraceful excuse for a re-districted TX 'legislature'.

It's well known that Red states, on average, receive more from the Federal Government than they pay in in taxes, so good.
Apparently, this Sequester is necessary in order for people to learn the realities of what Government Spending pays for, and to overcome the well-crafted myths.
Ideally, not just Texas, but every Republican congressional district in the land will feel the Sequester harder than average.

Propulsion by a novel jet engine is the crux of the innovation behind a University of Colorado Boulder-developed aircraft that's accelerating toward commercialization.
A grant awarded to the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels, or C2B2, will allow students to conduct research related to the conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals. C2B2 is a joint renewable energy center of CU-Boulder, Colorado State University, Colorado School of Mines, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and industry.
Fourteen graduate students from the Engineering for Developing Communities program at CU-Boulder traveled abroad this past summer to gain field experience in community development.
The students partnered with nonprofit organizations, private companies and universities for 4- to 12-week practicum experiences in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Uganda, Nepal and China.
Why has the world been unable to address global warming? Science policy expert Roger Pielke, Jr., CU-Boulder professor of environmental studies, says it's not the fault of those who reject the Kyoto Protocol, but those who support it and the magical thinking that the agreement represents.
In his book The Climate Fix: What Scientists and Politicians Won't Tell You About Global Warming, Pielke offers a way to repair climate policy, shifting the debate away from meaningless targets and toward a revolution in how the world's economy is powered.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

Autopsy: Orangeburg inmate died of natural causes
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say an autopsy shows that one of four inmates who died at the Orangeburg County Detention Center over the past nine months died of natural causes.
The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reported (http://bit.ly/16rOq5Z) that deputy coroner Sam Fogle says 38-year-old James Ray Parker died Feb. 6 of cardiac problems.
Officials said Parker was being held in a medical watch cell when he rolled or fell out of the bed and started yelling.
Of the three other deaths at the jail since Oct. 31, two have been suicides by hanging and another is under investigation.
Earlier this year, the annual inspection of the detention center found numerous problems with staffing levels, furnishings and operations. The inspection didn't mention the deaths, two of which occurred after state evaluators were there.

Matthias: NXC is a big hit around our house now. I started using it, thanks to your very comprehensible introduction to the software in the NXT Da Vinci Inventions Book. (In fine bookstores everywhere).

Why don't you have the wheels just turn continuously?

Rick, thanks. :)
The introduction is somewhat outdated by now, as NXC has been in development still then and has changed in some aspects, but I'm happy that the book inspired the Rhodes to use it. Next to (Java-based) leJOS NXJ, NXC is one of my favourite languages for NXT programs also.

the wheels turned continuously in my first design, but I changed it to discrete movements as it turned out to be a better strategy: in a GBC the upstream modules commonly deliver balls in fits and starts, not continuously as well.

Bennington man charged after crash injures his friendBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 26,2013BENNINGTON An East Road man is facing two felony charges after police said they believed he was driving under the influence of alcohol on Jan. 3 when he crashed his truck and left his passenger with broken bones.
Scott Kipp, 22, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in a serious injury and grossly negligent driving resulting in a serious injury.
While police believe Kipp was over the legal limit during the crash, his blood alcohol content was measured at 0.066 that night. In an affidavit, Amanda Bolduc, a chemist at the Vermont Forensic Laboratory, said that by her calculations, Kipps blood alcohol content at the time of the crash, which happened almost an hour and a half before Kipp gave a breath sample, would have been 0.087 percent.
The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
In an affidavit, Officer Amanda Thomson of the Bennington Police Department said she was sent to the scene of a truck crash on Shields Drive in Bennington around 2:50 a.m. on Jan. 3.
Thomson said she spoke to Kipp at the scene who admitted to driving the truck and said his friend, Frank Griffis, got tossed around during the crash and might be really hurt.
Thomson said Kipp admitted to drinking alcohol before the crash but said it was only a little bit. He told police that he had been driving about 15 to 20 mph when he hit a patch of ice and slid off the road.
On Jan. 7, Thomson spoke to Griffis and learned he had broken his pelvis and a rib and had a bruised lung and kidney. However, she also said that while Griffis had told her that day that he would provide the police with a medical release, no release had been provided as of Feb. 15.
Thomson said her investigation determined that speed was a factor in the crash. She also said she found evidence that Kipp had been intentionally driving his pickup truck through snow banks and off the road.
During Kipps arraignment Monday, his attorney, William Wright, asked the judge to dismiss the charge of grossly negligent driving because he believed there was not enough evidence.
I dont know how she could conclude that (the off-road driving) was done intentionally. My client had blown the right rear tire on his truck. She indicates that the roads were snow-covered and icy in spots so for her to just conclude that (the truck) was being driven in a reckless manner really is of no help to this court in determining probable cause, he said.
When Judge Cortland Corsones said he would not dismiss the charge on Monday, Wright objected to the states request that Kipp not be allowed to drive.
Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Jennifer Barrett argued that Kipp was a danger to public safety but Corsones agreed with Wright and struck the request. Kipp was released without bail and ordered not to drive unless he has a valid license.

Sometimes reading this board is the same as reading the Live Feed thread with all the Elissa bashing and conversation.. Come on, she's gone, other than AFP votes, if you choose to or not to vote for her, WHY are we still talking about her!! I sure don't mean any meanness but geezie wizzie, enough about Elissa! Please
Albert, I honestly don't think they gave her credit for anything. She went through her jewelry to find something for McCrae to make the engagement ring for Amanda and apparently it was nice, the ring lasted. She cut hair for them, and did GinaMarie's hair color twice, doing high and low lights for her. She did a beautiful job on GM's hair. For that, GM didn't go off on Elissa like she did with Amanda so she'd get her hair done before Elissa left. She also tried to help GM with her apparent eating disorder and gave her tips on eating and exercising, she spent time just talking to her. (GM is thought to be bulimic, Aaryn mentioned it as did GM.) Not only that but she helped her with her back when she hurt it by giving her some stretching exercises to do to help the pain. She personally helped her with these, didn't just say go do this or that. She cooked and cleaned every day and that house was a pigsty! (Helen did as well.)Elissa's game was hurt in the beginning by letting Helen guide her when she had the MVP choice. She didn't really begin to play her own game until Helen left. She didn't know that Helen was throwing her under the bus periodically or that she was speaking for Elissa until later in the game. Elissa had what looked like a bantering relationship with Andy and she loved Judd, Judd said that she had never been anything but nice to him. She was the wedding planner for Amanda and McCrae. This year there was a technique which is still being used, I'm not sure who really started it, Amanda or Andy or both. The technique, character assassination, was to target someone then pick, pick, pick on some little thing to make everyone mad at the person. For example Judd. Amanda thought he was the MVP and she wanted him gone. Howard was another victim and Candace made it worse by getting mad and causing a scene. Most of the other HGs were like lemmings, they jumped over the cliff rather than have an independent thought. I didn't know what to expect of Elissa when she came into the house but I grew to love her. Yes, she was opinionated but she was true to her values. She didn't like the racist talk. She never used bad language at least I never heard it. She has been the target of the most vile comments I've ever heard from HG's on BB. Just look at yesterday's flashback that I posted. In any other setting it would be slander. The updaters just couldn't post some of the garbage that spewed from some HG's mouths and I supported them for not transcribing it. I lost this once, so I'm going to post it before I have to write it again. I just wanted to explain what I saw from Elissa and why I voted for her to get America's Player's award.
Wow, TexasLady, you did NOT waste any time locking down the live feed threads! It's almost as if you were anxious to get the season over with!
I agree lovemykiddies!! I was outside and was like whoa!! she pulled that trigger fast!! Glad TL was the one to do it too!!

Nurses are the heart of the March of Dimes. You support our efforts in so many ways: as health care providers, educators, volunteers and fundraisers. As a way of saying thank you for all you do, the March of Dimes has developed comprehensive resources to support your work. These resources include high-quality continuing nursing education (CNE) activities, graduate nursing scholarships and research awards. We recognize that nurses play a critical role in advancing our mission. Our goal is to equip you with the resources you need to provide the highest quality care to your patients.
News nurses need!
Newborn Screening
Timeliness is critical to prevent "deadly delays" in newborn screening (NBS), because babies with several serious "time-critical" metabolic disorders may die in the first weeks of life. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (MJS) showed that these "deadly delays" included hospitals "batching" samples over days before shipping them to the state screening laboratory, and closing laboratories on weekends and holidays.
For your patients
Patient education is an essential part of providing
high-quality care, but finding accurate, carefully-researched, objective information sometimes
can be a challenge. March of Dimes education products reflect more than 70 years of experience in promoting healthy behaviors that lead to healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

It's important for certain people to get tested for the hepatitis C virus. If you answer yes to any of these questions, talk to your doctor about getting tested:
Many people who have hepatitis C live for years without feeling sick. But the virus can still damage the liver – even when there aren't any symptoms.
The only way to know for sure if you have hepatitis C is to get a blood test. If you have hepatitis C, treatments may be able to help you live a longer, healthier life.
Visiting the doctor can be stressful. It helps to have questions for the doctor or nurse written down ahead of time. Print this list of questions, and take it to your appointment.

The Drip Store's 12" spacing, EXCEL pressure compensating drip line with check valve from DIG Corp is available in 100' and with a flow rate of .6 GPH.
The Drip Store's Excel Pressure Compensating Drip Line with built-in check valve from DIG Corp is extruded tubing with self-contained, flow regulated emitters molded into the inside wall of the drip tubing in preset spacing. Both the tubing and the drip emitters are manufactured from the finest quality resins using a process to form a product that emits water uniformly from each emitter, year after year.
The Excel Inline PC drip emitters with built-in check valve contain a diaphragm that continuously adjusts to varying water pressure to ensure a constant flow rate. The diaphragm inside the inline drip emitter allows particles to pass through the dripper without harming it, providing reliable performance and a longer life. This method of continuous flushing and wide flow path allows the drip emitter to operate at optimal flow rates under extreme conditions. The PC inline drip emitters with built-in check valve discharge the same amount of water under a wide pressure range, providing high uniformity and longer run on any topography.
The Excel™ PC series Drip line drip emitters with built-in check valve or non-drain device have a sealing pressure of 1.5 PSI to prevent water draining out when the water has been turned off and opening pressure of 4.3 PSI when the pressure turn on. This feature protects the drip line from siphoning small soil particles into the drip emitter, making it ideal solution for sub-surface drip installation
For commercial and residential applications, use this drip line with our 17 mm barbed fittings and with our line of Nut Lock fittings. The PC drip line with built-in check valve can be installed below or above the ground and if used above the ground can be covered with mulch to blend it with the landscape. Our PC drip line with built-in check valve can be used for installation in planters, island, home gardens, trees, and in landscape areas.
Versatility: The Excel PC drip line with built-in check valve is designed for placement in both new and existing landscape areas including green-roof areas, and used for below ground or above the surface. The Excel PC drip line is ideal for installation on difficult terrain such as on slopes, in oddly shaped areas, and in windy sites.
Durability: Our Excel PC drip line with built-in check valve is designed to withstand the harshest field conditions, and is manufactured of high quality, highly durable plastics containing added quantities of carbon black compound, making it resistant to the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays.
Drip line installation:The drip line can be installed below or above the ground and if used above the ground can be covered with mulch to blend it with the landscape. To connect the drip line to the drip tubing, use our 17 mm barbed drip fittings, or use our Nut Lock fittings.
Some knowledge about drip irrigation systems can give a well-informed contractor or installer an advantage in a very competitive market. Many installations could benefit from the addition of drip irrigation, such as in strip planting, sloped areas, windy areas or in oddly shaped areas. Contractors or installers with expertise in micro irrigation can select the appropriate installation method and products for applications such as overlap irrigation on slopes using drip line with pre-inserted drip emitters (in a variety of spacing and low flow rates), strip planting using a below grade drip system with check valve, shrubs and ground covers using drip line with 12" to 24" spacing, a conventional irrigation method of PVC pipe with risers using multi outlet drip emitters or, for oddly shaped flowerbeds or closely spaced plantings, using micro sprayers in a variety of flow rates and diameters. Each of these options provides the contractor with the tools and the flexibility to offer his customers installation packages that include a blend of options which set him apart from his competitors.

Do you hide the fact that you like to watch television surrounded by stuffed animals, or that you and your significant other like to cuddle during a show?
Those facts might not be hidden much longer if Verizon has its way, according to reports that are burning up the Internet.
Fierce Cable was the first to report that Verizon has filed a patent application to market a digital video recorder that watches you watch television, and listens in on your conversations at the same time.
It's all in the name of target advertisements.

Therapies for Cystic Fibrosis
Thanks to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-supported research, people with cystic fibrosis (CF) have more therapy options than ever before. There are drugs to help clear the thick CF mucus from airways and reduce inflammation, aerosolized antibiotics and, most recently, a breakthrough therapy that addresses the underlying cause of CF. The Foundation is dedicated to investing in promising research that will lead to more new treatments and a cure for cystic fibrosis.
Kalydeco™ is a pill for people ages 6 and older who have the following CF mutations: G551D, G178R, S549N, S549R, G551S, G1244E, S1251N, S1255P and G1349D.
In people with these mutations, Kalydeco helps the defective CFTR protein work at the surface of the cell. This allows salt and fluid to move into the airways, which helps thin the thick, sticky mucus caused by CF that builds up in the lungs so it is easier to cough out.
Clearing the Airways
Some airway clearance techniques require help from family members, friends or therapists. Adults with cystic fibrosis can do many airway clearance techniques themselves.
One technique is called "postural drainage and percussion." People with cystic fibrosis sit, stand or lie in a position that will help free up mucus as their chest and back are pounded or clapped. Sometimes a patient will use a mechanical "vest," or blow into a device that shakes the mucus loose, to help clear their airways.
Inhaled drugs are commonly used in cystic fibrosis care because they reach the airways quickly and easily. Inhaled treatments can be given by aerosol — a mist made from liquid medicines. The medicines go into a cup (nebulizer) that is attached to a small air compressor. The compressor blows air through the cup and makes a mist. People with cystic fibrosis breathe the mist in through a mouthpiece or mask for several minutes. Some medicines can also be given as metered dose inhalers (MDI), which deliver one dose of medicine at a time.
There are several kinds of inhaled medications used to treat CF symptoms:
Antibiotics are used to fight infection-causing bacteria. Infections are common in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis, so antibiotics are an important part of regular care.
The antibiotic drug, the dosage, and the length of time to take the drug, all vary from person to person. The infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to some drugs.
Antibiotics come in three different forms:
Research supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has led to other respiratory treatments that are now considered "standard therapies" for many people battling cystic fibrosis.
For example, ibuprofen, which is an anti-inflammatory, was found by CF Foundation-supported researchers to benefit people with cystic fibrosis. It can slow the rate at which lung function usually declines for some people with CF. However, patients need to be closely monitored by their CF physician if taking this drug for CF.
Azithromycin, a common antibiotic, was shown to have special benefits for some people with cystic fibrosis. To study this possibility, the Foundation conducted a Phase 3 trial and found that, in some cases, the drug helped to preserve and improve lung function. The drug also reduced the number of hospital stays for many people who participated in the clinical trials.
Implanted devices that allow repeated and long-term access to the bloodstream for frequent or regular administration of drugs as an alternative to shots are called ports and PICCs.
Nutrition needs change with age — especially for people with cystic fibrosis. Dietitians at cystic fibrosis care centers offer specially tailored dietary programs for each stage of life.
Children and teens with cystic fibrosis need extra calories to grow and develop. Everyone with CF, no matter their age, need good nutrition to stay strong against lung infections and other challenges. Occasionally, patients need to take nutrition through a tube ("tube-feeding") to provide extra calories that help the body grow and stay strong.
Body Mass Index, or "BMI" is a calculation used to assess how healthy an individual's weight is relative to their height. Click here for more information and to find out your BMI.
Almost half of all people with cystic fibrosis in the United States today are adults. They are facing diseases most often associated with the middle-aged or elderly. These diseases include CF-related diabetes and brittle bones (osteoporosis or osteopenia). By working closely with CF care centers, good nutrition can help to prevent or lessen the impact of these and other health problems.
Over the years, some research have indicated that people can gain health benefits by increasing their intake of antioxidants, either by eating more fruit and vegetables or by taking supplements.
Healthy, non-cystic fibrosis lungs appear to have more natural antioxidants than cystic fibrosis lungs. The lack of natural antioxidants is considered by researchers to be a possible factor in the inflammation and infection cycle in CF.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports laboratory research and clinical trials to evaluate the possible benefits and safety issues involved in taking drugs that are the building blocks of antioxidants, like glutathione.
All Foundation-supported studies are peer-reviewed and closely monitored. People with cystic fibrosis should discuss with their CF care center the potential benefits and risks of any alternative therapy, diet supplements or extra vitamins not prescribed by your doctor (e.g. nutriceuticals).
