I would like to meet someone who knows what...
I would like to meet someone who knows what they want out of life. They like to workout and eat healthy but can enjoy a good pizza or beer every once in a while . Also, someone who will challenge me mentally and put me in my place when I need it. Furthermore, I really enjoy traveling and I would like to make new memories with someone special. I think planned trips can be just as fun as spur of the moment getaways. I just finished trips to Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia over the last three months for work and I am going to drive through the northwest at some point soon for a vacation seeing where the road takes me each day. I guess my vacation goes along with having an open-minded and being able to adapt to whatever life throws at you. Finally, I hope to meet someone who is comfortable at the local bar catching a game or at a nice restaurant. I believe any place can be enjoyable if you in the company of someone special. I just want to find someone who wants to have fun, enjoys life, building something for the future, and avoid drama.

If you're going to ruin your chances of ever being a hotel valet again, this is the way to go. An employee at The Westin Hotel in Indianapolis named Gunner Belcher was arrested around 2 a.m. Sunday, according to the Indianapolis Star. His charge? Alleged drunken driving. His means? A Bentley — owned by Colts receiver Reggie Wayne. Wayne told police he left his Bentley at the hotel at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, but when he returned for the car Sunday morning, the keys and car were both missing. The police, meanwhile, had arrested Belcher and charged him with driving while intoxicated. They towed the Bentley. A supervisor later told police that Belcher had left work around 9 p.m. Saturday but did not clock out — and it didn't take long to piece together the details and see why. When police asked Belcher where he had gotten the car, Belcher said he was Wayne's "cousin by marriage" (which was pretty quick thinking considering their different ethnicities), according to Wish TV. Wayne has reportedly gotten his car back. Belcher, meanwhile, was also charged with not wearing a seatbelt.

Thyroid function and volume in epileptic children using carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and valproate
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of carbamazepine (CBZ), oxcarbazepine (OXC), and valproic acid (VPA) on thyroid function and volume in epileptic children.
Fifty-three epileptic children (age, 3-17 years) treated with OXC (n = 10), CBZ (n = 12), or VPA (n = 31) at least for 1 year were evaluated in terms of thyroid hormones, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test, and thyroid volumes.
The patients in the OXC and CBZ groups had similar total thyroxin (TT4) and free T4 (fT4) median levels that were significantly lower than those of the VPA group (P < 0.016). Total tri-iodothyrosin median levels were lower in the CBZ group compared to the VPA group (P < 0.016). Basal TSH levels and thyroid volumes were similar in all groups (P > 0.016). One child from the OXC group (10%), one from the CBZ group (%8.3), and six from the VPA group (19.3%) had hypothyroidic status according to the TRH stimulation test. No statistically significant correlations were found between thyroid gland volume and thyroid function variables and between anti-epileptic drug receiving time and thyroid function or thyroid volume, respectively, in any of the groups (P > 0.05).
Thyroid function should be evaluated periodically in children using CBZ, OXC or VPA. The children taking VPA seems to be at greater risk compared to children onr CBZ or OXC therapy. Except for the basal TSH values in the VPA group, the parameters predictive for the subclinical hypothyroid status remain to be evaluated in further studies.

Article: Patterns of drugs prescribed concomitantly with levothyroxine in children with hypothyroidism[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to know the prescription pattern of drugs for the treatment of concomitant pathologies in children with hypothyroidism, who were receiving levothyroxine, so as to identify drugs with possible interaction risk and avoid the production of adverse effects. An analysis of treatments in children diagnosed of hypothyroidism treated with levothyroxine and medicines added for the treatment of concomitant pathologies in an endocrinology service from December 1999 to December 2009 was carried out. For capturing the information, a form for information gathering was used and the Naranjo causality algorithm was used. 475 clinical files corresponding to 292 (61.47%) females and 183 (38.53%) males were reviewed. The concomitant pathologies most frequently seen were gastrointestinal (60.47%) and respiratory diseases with 55.58%. The number of drugs simultaneously administered with levothyroxine was from 1 to 7. Applying the Naranjo algorithm, 38.5% were adverse drug reactions (ADRs) definite, 23% ADRs probable, 23% ADRs possible and 4% doubtful. In conclusion, the prescription of drugs co-administered simultaneously with levothyroxine should be done in a rational form because there are drugs as anticonvulsant, diuretics or gastrointestinal that can interact between them as with levothyroxine, principally with drugs administered in a chronic form.

ABSTRACT: Background Limited and conflicting data exist for the influence of antiepileptic drugs on thyroid function in children. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of phenobarbital, valproate, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and levetiracetam monotherapy on thyroid function in daily clinical practice during a 12-month treatment period. Method A total of 223 children (103 females and 120 males) with new onset and controlled epilepsy treated with valproate (n = 129), phenobarbital (n = 33), carbamazepine (n = 36), oxcarbazepine (n = 14), levetiracetam (n = 11) were enrolled in the study. Serum free thyroxine (fT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured before and at first, sixth and twelfth months of therapy. Results At baseline, average fT4 and TSH concentrations were not different between the drug groups. Valproate-treated patients had decreased fT4 and increased TSH levels at months 1, 6, and 12. Carbamazepine-treated patients had decreased fT4 levels at months 1, 6, and 12 and increased TSH levels at months 1, and 6. Phenobarbital-treated patients had decreased fT4 levels at months 1, and 6, and increased TSH levels at months 6 and 12. Oxcarbazepine-treated patients had decreased fT4 levels at month 1. Levetiracetam-treated patients showed no significant change of fT4 and TSH at any times. The frequency of subclinical hypothyroidism at month 12 was 28% in valproate, 21.4% in oxcarbazepine, 18.2% in phenobarbital, 13.9% in carbamazepine, and 0% in levetiracetam groups. Conclusion Our data suggest that all antiepileptic drugs studied except levetiracetam had varying degrees of deleterious effects on thyroid function.Seizure 01/2014; 23(1):29–35.

Article: Lipid profile and thyroid hormone concentrations in children with epilepsy treated with oxcarbazepine monotherapy: a prospective long-term study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate prospectively the changes and possible associations in lipid and thyroid profiles in children treated with oxcarbazepine (OXC) monotherapy. Serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyrotropin (TSH) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) concentrations were measured in 23 children with epilepsy, before and at 8 and 18 months of OXC monotherapy. Total cholesterol was significantly increased at 8 months (P = 0.033), whereas LDL-C was significantly increased at 8 and 18 months (P < 0.001 and P = 0.004, respectively) of treatment. Lp(a) was significantly increased at 8 months (P = 0.042) and borderline significantly increased at 18 months (P = 0.050) of treatment. FT4 was significantly decreased at 8 and 18 months (P < 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively), and TSH levels were significantly increased at 8 and 18 months (P = 0.002 and P = 0.001, respectively) of OXC monotherapy. GGT levels were significantly increased at 8 and 18 months (P < 0.001) of treatment. There were no significant alterations in HDL-C, TGs and FT3 levels during the study. Significant positive correlations were found between GGT and LDL-C levels at 8 (r = 0.468, P = 0.024) and 18 months (r = 0.498, P = 0.016), and between TSH and TC at 18 months (r = 0.508, P = 0.013) of treatment. OXC monotherapy may cause significant and persistent alterations in lipid and thyroid profiles in children with epilepsy. The increase in LDL-C and TC levels may be associated with liver enzymes induction and thyroid dysfunction. Further long-term prospective studies are required to confirm these findings and to determine their clinical significance.European Journal of Neurology 10/2013; DOI:10.1111/ene.12262 · 3.85 Impact Factor

That is the object of this year's M100 Young European Journalists Workshop that invites 20 young journalists from Europe (including non-EU countries) from 1 to 6 September 2013 to Potsdam. The six-day workshop will discuss how the media in different countries is reporting on Europe, the positions it takes, does it really reflect the mood of the population and how different branches of the media in several countries report on the same topic, amongst others.
The workshop is guided by multi award-winning journalist, filmmaker and coach Christian Stahl, and takes place in cooperation with the Axel Springer Academy. In addition to an intensive debate and camera training, participants will research facts, produce videos, texts and blogs, finishing with 20 cross-media theses about Europe.
Conditions of participation:
Young journalists between 18 and 26 years old from all over Europe (including non-EU countries) can apply by submitting a short text in English and the following task: "New Media - New Europe?" Describe in a maximum of 500 words how the media can contribute to overcoming Europe's public crisis. Please include concrete references to the media situation in your home country.
Please include a brief CV (with a photo) and motivational statement in your application, stating your reasons for applying for this particular workshop (both in English). 20 participants will be selected from among the applicants and invited to Potsdam from 31 August (arrival) to 7 September 2013 (departure). The organisers of the M100 Young European Journalists Workshop will cover accommodation and board during the workshop. A travel allowance is provided. The workshop will be held in English.

McLaughlin and Much kick up the sand to victory in Chicago
[SinglePic not found]By Imelda March
Temperatures finally hit the "crispy side" of things in Chicago and it actually felt like 'cross weather had finally arrived. Crossers came out fresh and ready to tackle the newly redesigned Carpenter Park course. Jeff Provisor, owner of Main Street Bicycles and race director added two fast paved sections with a u-turn and multiple twisty areas that kept racers with their thinking helmets on alert.
This year Provisor combined his efforts with Village of Carpentersville and created the OktoberCross Festival. Provisor said that, "he had approached the Village of Carpentersville for approval for the 'cross race at Carpenter Park with the addition of hosting a Beer Garden." He explains that "I have been jealous of the race vibe they have on the coasts and Europe, and dreamed of one day making our 'cross race more of big community event. As it turned out, the village was looking to expand its own Fall Festival and asked if we could combine events to create what is now called OktoberCross."
Elite Men
The battle of the day was between Scott McLaughlin (Sram Factory Team) and CXM Columnist Ben Popper (HRS Rock Lobster). The two went head-to-head on this flat and somewhat technical course. In the end, Scott McLaughlin (Sram Factory Team) took advantage of a Popper flat tire and spare bike problem to win the race. Popper chased hard after his problems and finished five seconds in arrears to take 2nd. Brian Conant (Pony Shop) finished in 3rd, Luca Lenzi (Pony Shop) in 4th with Kevin Klug (Killjoy) rounding out the podium.
Elite Women
Rebecca Much (XXX Racing/AthletiCo), the current United States U23 TT Champion, has been coming out to frolic while she prepares for her road campaign. She took the hole shot, stepped on the gas and kept it in high cruise control to the end. Seconds behind and chasing in 2nd place was Debbie Dust (Verdigris Custom Homes) with her lethal teammate June Upshaw in 3rd place, followed by Holly Klug (Killjoy) in 4th place and Leah Sanda (Flatlandia) in 5th to round out the podium.
Upcoming Events
Racing continues with the Chicago Cyclocross Cup Race #5 on Sunday, October 26 in Bartlett, Illinois. Further information about the series can be found by visiting www.chicrosscup.com

The ABCs of Choosing Child Care
You have been with your little one since she was born, seeing to her every want and whim. But she's a little older now, and the workplace is calling your name. The added income will help with the family finances, but you are worried about finding just the right care for your baby.
You are not alone. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, about 70 percent of parents place their young children in some type of daily child care. So, where is the best place to start? Read on for a comprehensive look at how to choose a child care option that is best suited to your family's needs.
Whether you place your child in a daycare center or in a family-operated home daycare, it is vital that the organization and its employees be licensed professionals. This ensures that the care they provide is not only the result of education and training, but is also overseen by local and state agencies that are charged with keeping tabs on child care facilities.
Erika Ramirez-Lee, director of marketing with YMCA Childcare Resource Service in San Diego, notes that accredited institutions are sometimes hard to find and can be more costly, but that licensed centers and child care homes must also adhere to provider/child ratios and nutritional standards, and must submit to regular visits by trained state inspectors.
Likewise, licensed caretakers will have CPR training and most will be advancing through child development college course credits.
Finances are an important consideration when choosing child care. According to a 2014 report by ChildCareAware.org, "The cost of child care in the United States can be as much as $14,508 annually for an infant, or $12,280 annually for a four-year-old in a center, and does not always guarantee a quality environment."
That's a big chunk of change.
As you sign on the dotted line, give serious thought to not only the monthly tuition, but also commuting and other additional costs associated with working outside the home.
There are ways to defray the expenses. Some companies offer onsite child care, job sharing, scheduling flexibility and even telecommuting options as a way of unburdening families of the full tuition.
Many couples rely on extended family to help with their child care needs on a part-time basis as a way of mitigating costs and keeping youngsters at home whenever possible.
According to Ramirez-Lee, income-qualifying families may be eligible to receive financial support to pay a family member as a licensed exempt child care provider.
Let's face it, the quality of care your child will receive has to be the most important factor when choosing child care.
Safety, health and cleanliness are among the top concerns parents should consider. But there are other dynamics to be aware of, such as noise and clutter, physical activity, learning activities and provider/child ratio.
"We always recommend that our parents visit the child care program in person," Ramirez-Lee says. "It is perfectly all right to ask a child care provider about their experience."
Your child's personality may require the relative quiet of a home daycare situation or the bustle of a larger, busier child care center. Or perhaps a live-in nanny will offer your family a personal, stable presence, giving you peace of mind as you travel or work odd hours for your job.
Ramirez-Lee says that San Diego parents are encouraged to call upon the YMCA Childcare Resource Service for help with referrals, recommendations and even red flags to consider for prospective child care providers.
Finally, meet personally and interview all prospective caretakers to get a sense of their training, commitment to the children and overall knowledge, experience and sincerity for the job.
For support and resources, visit the YMCA Childcare Resource Service website or call 800-481-2151.

Dark fruit and smoke on nose.
Front fruit and mid palate fruit - well balanced
Oak provides a good finish, strong w/out astringent or overpowering.
Glad I have 1 more in the cellar
OK wine, putting as neutral. pretty acidic, but no tannins that will really balance it out. Better over time, multi-hour decant, may soften in bottle, but just not sure. My guess, leave it be, or really give it a lot of air.
Minimal dark fruit and alcohol aroma. Rich dark fruit and earth with nice balance and structure. Short to medium finish. Lots of sediment. Needs some air.
Unremarkable but pleasant quaff, with little complexity and lots of sediment. Structure is nice, medium body with perceptible tannins on the finish balancing +acidity - drink it with food. The fruit will hold on for a bit but I don't know for how long. Will give it a go next year to see how it's holding together.
This bottle of wine was opened and drank over five nights. It held together for the entire time. Very nice. Lots of sediment which I usually associate with wines that are getting on with their age. Dark and sweet fruits. Not any stewed prunes. Many years of cellar time left.

Your Sydney holiday
Jumping on a flight to Sydney is like taking three holidays in one, to a city complete with all the attractions of a world-class cultural centre along with fantastic beaches and a mountain range nearby.
The man-made wonders of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House battle for attention with the natural treasures of Bondi Beach and the Blue Mountains in a city that really does have it all. Besides all that, a holiday in Sydney offers the chance to delve into a city with a vibrant art scene that is buzzing with life at all hours.
From unpromising beginnings Sydney has risen to become one of the largest cities in the southern hemisphere, as well as one of the most impressive. When the British first began to colonise the island continent, it was at Sydney Cove they first laid down roots and built the first penal colony.
It is safe to say that this was far from being the first settlement in the area. When the British arrived in 1788, an estimated 5,000 aborigines of the Cadigal group were living in the area and it is believed to have been inhabited for over 30,000 years. The visitors were not put off by this and the Colony of New South Wales was inaugurated on January 26, 1788.
Its early history was marked by violence, with frequent fighting with the aboriginal people and savage punishments dished out for law-breakers. Despite this, the colony continued to grow and after a way through the Blue Mountains was found in 1813, Sydney began to thrive. Paved roads and public buildings sprang up to lend order to the town and by the early 1880s, less than a century after its foundation, the number of residents had reached over 200,000.
Expansion continued apace in the 20th century with the Sydney Harbour Bridge taking shape, providing an ease of transportation that would herald further growth. With the decline in manufacturing in the city, the growth of the tourism industry has taken its place, with Sydney now one of the world's top tourist destinations. This was perfectly shown by the 2000 Olympic Games, widely recognised as the most successful in the Games' history and a huge coup for the entire nation.
Learn How to Surf at Bondi
This is one of the holy grails of surfing, and anyone who has ever thought about picking up a board has dreamed of a trip to this kilometre-long stretch of golden sand in the Sydney suburbs. But don't worry, it's not just for professionals: the difficulty and danger posed by the waves ranges along the bay. There is no shortage of enthusiastic surfing instructors along the beach ready to impart their wisdom and watch you tumble into the waves as you find your feet.
Check Out the Wildlife Along the Coastline
If surfing is not your scene, there is still plenty to do at the beach, including the two-mile walk from Bondi Beach to Bronte. At times clinging to the high headlands and at others swooping down so close to the ocean you can almost touch it, the Bondi to Bronte walk offers a breathtaking view of this coastline. Keep your eyes peeled as you go as sightings of the area's impressive marine wildlife are common; large numbers of whales and dolphins have been spotted in the area. If two miles is not enough for you, push on past Bronte as the path winds through Coogee Beach on its way to Maroubra Beach, the end of the line.
Find the Next Big Designer
In this vibrant hub of fashion, Sydney's emerging designers first find their feet in the hubbub of Paddington Markets. A network of over 200 stalls in the eastern suburb of Paddington, the markets are the perfect place to spend a lazy Saturday, checking out the clothes and accessories on offer and taking a break to sample the huge range of cuisine served up. Everything from barbecue and Thai food to coffee and cup cakes is available.
Get your Sporting Fix
The 'Sydneysiders' love their sport, and there's nowhere better to witness this passion than the atmospheric Sydney Cricket Ground. Over 45,000 people regularly crowd in to the stadium to witness the country's biggest sporting events, from cricket to Australian rules football.
Sydney Opera House
One of the world's most singularly striking architectural feats, the Sydney Opera House has been an iconic presence on Sydney Harbour since its completion in 1973. Over 30 years later its value and uniqueness was recognised as it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The masterpiece of Danish architect Jørn Utzon, the opera house took 16 years to complete. The decision to choose the unknown Utzon has been vindicated time and again, and as well as providing a great sight from the outside, within you will find no fewer than six world-class venues offering opera, theatre and concerts.
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Not content with one world famous construction, Sydney Harbour boasts another in the form of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The through arch bridge has been providing an imposing and elegant crossing between the North Shore and central Sydney since opening in 1932. Rising to a height of over 130 metres above the water level and stretching for over a kilometre, the huge structure transports trains, cars, cyclists and pedestrians on a daily basis. But that is not the only way to get onto the bridge: thanks to an innovative tourism company, you can even climb part of it. The upper arch and lower chord can both be climbed with the aid of all the relevant safety equipment. As well as offering engineering buffs a unique view of the bridge's structure it gives a fantastic vantage point from which to look out upon Sydney.
Blue Mountains
It is easy to forget you are just over an hour from the centre of Sydney when you find yourself in the Blue Mountains, an idyllic World Heritage Site to the west of Australia's biggest city. So named because of the blue haze through which they are viewed from a distance, the seven national parks in the area have been a centre for rest, relaxation and enjoyment for over a century. Walking trails, cycle paths, caves, waterfalls and even a cable car are just some of the attractions on offer in this vast area.
Tip * Booking your Tours, Transfers & Airport Parking before you go will save your money & time and ensure a stress free start to your holiday
Arriving by Air
Domestic and international flights leave from the three terminals of Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, on Botany Bay. Beware that Terminal 1 is almost three miles from Terminals 2 and 3, so make sure to leave adequate time if you have to transfer.
There are a number of options when it comes to getting into the city from the airport: the commuter network CityRail extends out to the airport but can be busy at peak times; small mini-buses will pick up tourists and drop them straight to their hotels; the local bus is the cheapest option but luggage space is limited.
By Taxi
Available to be hailed down in the street or at the numerous ranks dotted across the city, Sydney cabs are a handy – if pricey – way to get around. Be warned, however, that during rush hour and weekend evenings, free cabs can be hard to come by. Also be aware that if you pass through tolls it is the passenger that pays the charge.
By Train
Sydney has a large rail network, which makes it easy to get to the surrounding suburbs from the centre. Various tickets, daily and weekly passes are available from stations.
By Boat
Offering a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of taxis, buses and trains, a range of ferries leave Circular Quay offering harbour tours as well as single journeys to some of the best-known tourist attractions.
By Car
With plenty of beaches, quirky suburbs and the Blue Mountains to explore, hiring a car is a great idea, so check out our options for car hire in Sydney.
No restaurant in Australia has been more celebrated than Tetsuya's (529 Kent Street) – from glowing reviews to a host of rewards it is the jewel in the country's culinary crown. In 2007 it was even named the fifth best restaurant in the world and its reputation for beautifully crafted dishes remains undimmed. As the brainchild of Tetsuya Wakuda, who fuses the best of the Japanese and French schools of cuisine, the tasting menu changes rapidly and will send an armada of perfectly prepared dishes to your table. For the full experience, put your wine choice in the hands of the experts, who will provide vintages by the glass to match your dishes.
It may not have the awards of Tetsuya's, but in terms of the view, few Australian restaurants can rival Icebergs (1 Notts Avenue). Perched on cliffs looking down on Bondi Beach, this restaurant and bar has a good claim for the best view in the city. From the comfort of the hammocks and sofas in the bar to the relaxed elegance of the dining room, the view of the Bondi coastline below subtly dominates the ambience. On the menu the sea is not far away either with favourites including seafood risottos and raw fish dishes.
The Australian restaurant scene would not be the same without the huge number of Thai restaurants, and in Sydney's Thai Town you can take your pick, one of the finest being Chat Thai (20 Campbell St). Grilled meats and seafood in spicy sauces await the patrons queuing outside for a tasty treat.
The elegantly understated Springfield Lodge Hotel is only a brisk walk away from the heart of Sydney. The design of the hotel fits perfectly in an area full of great bars and shops. Complete with a charming Parisian style cafe and the Pink Lounge for a relaxing cocktail, the Springfield Lounge is the ideal refuge at the end of a hard day exploring Sydney. If you have exhausted the attractions of the Potts Point neighbourhood, the Sydney Harbour and Bondi Beach are within easy reach by public transport.
Looking out upon Sydney Harbour from an enviable location on the eastern bank of Circular Quay is Quay Grand Suites Hotel. From the balconies of the suites the view takes in Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the unmissable Sydney Opera House. Within the suites you will find a combined lounge and dining room as well as a kitchen armed with all the necessary equipment, the choice of one or two bedrooms and a bathroom with spa bath.
The Sheraton on the Park Hotel can be located on the edge of Sydney's green refuge, Hyde Park. The 550+ rooms are stylishly furnished and the large windows have a great vantage point over the city skyline and the park.
The graceful Grace Building is one of Sydney's most imposing structures and these days houses the Grace Hotel. Set in the city centre, the 382-room hotel also numbers among its attractions a rooftop health and fitness centre and a range of dining options with a cafe, restaurant, and Irish pub on site.

Health and Hygiene
Malaria is not present in Australia.
A yellow fever vaccination is a must have for all travellers over a year old. Hepatitis B is recommended for those staying for a prolonged period or who will be returning frequently. It is advisable that children have the BCG and MMR vaccinations, and hepatitis B, again for those staying for a prolonged period or who will be returning frequently. For trips to the far north, a Japanese encephalitis injection is also advised.
Safety and Security
There has been a rise in thefts in public places in Sydney, so bear the following advice in mind:
- Be on your guard taking money out at cash machines.
- Do not walk around with jewellery or other objects that may attract attention and do not take such belongings to the beach.
- Do not leave personal belongings in parked vehicles.
It is highly recommended that you make photocopies of all your travel documents and keep the copies on you in case the originals are stolen or lost. When you travel, take a mobile phone with you and if you are unlucky enough to be assaulted, keep calm and do not try to resist.
When swimming in the sea, remain within the area designated by the flags on the beach, as the waters can be dangerous, with the presence of sharks and poisonous jellyfish.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
Badgers offer support for young fan of men's hoops team
Madison – Members of the Wisconsin men's basketball family are pulling for one of their younger fans:
Zavier Sims.
The 14-year-old Sims, who attended a UW summer camp several years ago and is a member of the Wisconsin Blizzard AAU 14U team, is a patient at UW Hospital and Clinics.
"He has been through seven surgeries in the last 10 days," former UW forward Ryan Evans said by phone Thursday night. "He had a bacterial infection that spread to his brain."
His aunt, Tonya Sims, is a graduate of Racine Park High School and played basketball at UW from 1997-2001.
"He is doing a lot better," Tonya Sims said by phone Thursday night," adding that Evans is her nephew's favorite player. "It has been a crazy, crazy couple of weeks…He has made a remarkable recovery.
"Early on we just didn't know what was going to happen because the infection was spreading so fast."
Evans has kept in touch with Tonya Sims by phone.
"One minute you're good and the next minute you are down and out," Evans said. "You never know how life can be. We're trying to get him through it…
"He is an avid fan and a big supporter."
Current UW players Josh Gasser, Frank Kaminsky, Duje Dukan and Evan Anderson recently visited Zavier Sims in the hospital.
"It was one of the first times he had been able to stand," Tonya Sims said. "His mom asked him if he wanted to take a picture so we helped him stand. It was a touching moment."
According to Tonya Sims, doctors aren't sure when her nephew will be able to leave the hospital.
However, the hospital staff is certain that Zavier Sims, who is 6-foot-3, is different from most pediatric patients they see.
"He is taller than me," said Tonya Sims, who was listed at 6-3 during her playing days at UW. "He is 6-3. It is crazy.
"I think they said he is one of taller pediatric patients they've ever had. We definitely got a laugh out of that."
