Tomorrow is a big day in the world of horse racing: The Belmont Stakes, the final leg in the Triple Crown, will run and California Chrome has a chance to be the first horse in decades to win all three races. However, despite the fervor over a horse with potential to be only the twelfth Triple Crown victor in history, a dark cloud overshadows the event. The widespread and dangerous practice of horse doping continues to sully the sport of horse racing.
The New York Times recently published the latest article in its series about the pervasive doping of horses at U.S. racetracks. Drugs are regularly used to give horses a performance-enhancing edge in racing—enabling them to run through pain and creating the risk of serious harm to both horse and jockey.
Illegal drugs such as cobra venom, Viagra, cancer medications, and dermorphin (a substance extracted from tree frogs that acts as a pain killer 40 times more powerful than morphine) are used to push racehorses past their physical limits, but drugs that are currently legal are problematic, too. Drugs that are banned in every racing jurisdiction other than North America are legal at American racetracks—it is hardly surprising that twice as many racehorses die in the U.S. as in other countries with horse racing (numbers calculated by the Jockey Club). A 2012 New York Times exposé revealed that an average of 24 thoroughbred racehorses die at U.S. tracks every week. That number doesn't even include Quarter Horse racing or Standardbred racing fatalities.
It's time to clean up the U.S. horse racing industry by passing the federal Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act (HISA), H.R. 2012/S. 973. Introduced by Representatives Joe Pitts (R-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) in the House and Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) in the Senate, this bill will ban performance-enhancing drugs in U.S. horse racing and designate the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) as the governing body to create and oversee the implementation of uniform medication rules to protect horse welfare. The Jockey Club recently acknowledged the importance of this bill and agreed that the USADA "has the experience, the knowledge and the credibility to bring much-needed integrity to our sport."
You can help move this life-saving legislation over the finish line. Please contact your members of Congress today and urge them to cosponsor the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act, H.R. 2012/S. 973.
Guest blog by Nancy Perry, ASPCA Senior Vice President of Government Relations.
I am happy to report that the month of May in the Year of the Horse is ending on a very positive note for America's horses! Following on the heels of last week's victory in the Senate, today the U.S. House Appropriations Committee approved the Moran Amendment by a bipartisan vote of 28-22.
Introduced by Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), the Moran Amendment is now part of the House's Agriculture Appropriations bill, which is our nation's agriculture budget for Fiscal Year 2015. The amendment bans the use of federal funds to send USDA inspectors into horse slaughterhouses—without inspections, it would be illegal to sell the meat.
Special thanks go to Representative Moran for his brilliant leadership, skillfully guiding the amendment to success in the choppy waters of the appropriations process. He spoke eloquently in favor of eliminating tax spending on horse slaughterhouses and inspired strong speeches in favor of his amendment from Representatives Farr (D-CA), Dent (R-PA), Calvert (R-CA) and Quigley (D-IL). We are grateful for this vocal and compelling work that led to success today.
"Horse slaughter has no place in American society and this amendment affirms that Congress does not condone this inhumane practice," said Rep. Moran. "These iconic creatures are a proud symbol of the American West that should be treasured for their beauty and treated humanely, not killed for export. The American public has made clear they oppose horse slaughter and today's vote reflects the will of the people."
Sitting, watching the vote unfold, there were powerful reminders of just how critical our grassroots advocacy truly is. Members repeatedly referred to hearing from people in their districts and what the American people wanted. These victories are not possible without strong support from individual advocates as well as organizations, large and small, who partnered with us in these tireless efforts. Everyone who has worked to spare horses from the nightmare of slaughter, organized to block the industry from setting up shop in their state, or taken to the courts and legislative offices to raise their voice against this cruelty played an important part in this victory today. My hat is off to you today, and I ask you to stay with us for the next steps we must take.
There are no longer any slaughterhouses in the United States that kill horses for human consumption—however, if the Moran Amendment and its Senate companion, the Landrieu-Graham Amendment, are not in the final legislation, our tax dollars could once again be used to enable the killing of horses for their meat and these predatory, inhumane businesses will return. Our job now is to make sure that the amendment remains in the final version of the bill that gets passed by the full House of Representatives. We also will press even harder to see the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act move ahead.
If you want to help the ASPCA protect our horses and communities from slaughter, please join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade and we'll email you when we need your voice!
Wonderful news for horses: Earlier today, May 22, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee approved an anti-horse slaughter amendment to the 2015 Agriculture Appropriations bill by a vote of 18-12. The Landrieu-Graham Amendment, introduced by Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would continue to keep would-be horse slaughterers at bay by prohibiting the use of federal tax dollars to inspect their facilities. The current ban is set to expire in September and must be renewed by Congress in order to continue to protect our nation's horses.
"There is no place for the brutal and uncivilized practice of horse slaughter in the United States," said Senator Landrieu. "Our nation's values are reflected in what we choose to fund in our annual budget. Today's bipartisan vote to defund domestic horse slaughter shows this is not a Democratic or a Republican issue—it is an issue that 80 percent of the American people agree on. Brutal slaughter is never the answer, and I will continue to push for a ban to be signed into law."
The majority of horses killed for human consumption are young, healthy animals who could otherwise go on to lead productive lives with loving owners. What's more, meat from American horses is unsafe for human consumption; horses are not raised as food animals, and they're often given medications and other substances that are toxic to people.
"There is no such thing as a commercial horse slaughter plant that doesn't inflict cruelty on horses," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "Using taxpayer dollars to fund this abhorrent industry is irresponsible and wasteful. We are thankful to Senators Landrieu and Graham for their strong leadership in advocating to protect our nation's revered equines."
We thank the Senate Appropriations Committee for passing this amendment, and Senators Mary Landrieu and Lindsey Graham for their hard work and leadership on this issue.
While banning inspections protects our communities from the devastating impact of horse slaughter, it does not prevent the transport of approximately 150,000 U.S. horses for slaughter across our borders to Canada and Mexico each year. Please visit the Advocacy Center to tell Congress to keep up its momentum on protecting horses and pass the SAFE Act to stop horse slaughter for good!

By ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker
Nearly 150 years ago, ASPCA founder Henry Bergh stopped a cart driver from beating his horse, resulting in the first successful arrest for horse mistreatment on April 26, 1866. Protecting horses has been a core part of our mission ever since, but we also rely on a strong public voice—people playing direct roles in their communities and through government to save these majestic, loving animals from cruelty and neglect.
This commitment is the driving force behind Help a Horse Day, our nationwide contest on April 26 awarding five $10,000 grants to equine rescues and sanctuaries that succeed in saving lives and raising awareness about at-risk horses. More than 80 groups in 32 states are participating—probably some near you. Their ideas include parading rescued horses down a local main street, having a community "horse wash," running a horse-themed carnival, and hosting a rally on the steps of a state capitol.
Behind these celebrations is a sad truth: Thousands of equines become homeless each year through no fault of their own, and many end up at livestock auctions where they're purchased for slaughter overseas. Last year, more than 144,000 American horses were sent to cruel deaths by foreign industries that produce unsafe food for consumers.
This is why ending horse slaughter has been one of our strongest recent campaigns. While the practice is effectively banned in the United States, there's still more we can do to permanently ensure no horses are slaughtered here, or sent overseas for slaughter. You can help by actively supporting the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, bipartisan legislation that would end the export of American horses for slaughter abroad, once and for all.
Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption, and it's no wonder. These are typically young and healthy animals that could go on to live productive lives. Instead, they're often transported without food, water, or rest in dangerously overcrowded trailers. Some are seriously injured or killed in transit. The slaughter process is also inherently cruel, as horses are difficult to stun properly and may be repeatedly injured or stabbed during the procedure.
Horse soring—nothing short of the deliberate infliction of pain—is another reprehensible practice that requires our immediate attention and action. Soring is when trainers use purposefully painful methods, including filing hooves down to the nerve and inserting sharp objects into the hooves, to force horses to exaggerate their gait with high strides. You may have seen this at exhibitions and contests, but that high step is actually the horse's flinching attempt to avoid pain. Some contests actually reward this tragic training with medals and ribbons.
See hidden-camera footage of the practice in this ABC nightline report, and learn how you can support the PAST (Prevent All Soring Tactics) Act, which would require horse show organizers to, among other things, prohibit the use of certain devices that intensify the pain caused by soring.
Finally, there's the equine event we're all familiar with: horse racing. However you feel about the sport, there's no denying that the use of performance-enhancing drugs is unacceptable. The Jockey Club, the organization that maintains the breed registry for all thoroughbred horses in North America, released a study which determined that racehorses in the United States die at a rate twice that of any other country. Horse welfare advocates know that lax drug rules are partly responsible, and have called for a ban on drug use for horses on race day, including a permanent ban for repeat offenders. Unlike human athletes, horses have no say in what's injected into them for the purpose of glory and human profit.
Unscrupulous trainers take full advantage of America's weak legal protections for horses, routinely and repeatedly violating medication rules. While the European Union, the Middle East and Japan all ban the use of drugs for horses on race days, the United States has no uniform rules on the practice.
Again, there's good legislation waiting in the wings; all it needs is strong public support. The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act would prohibit the use of performance-enhancing drugs in horse racing and improve the safety and integrity of the sport. The bill would also create "one and done" and "three strikes, you're out" penalties for strong enforcement. Learn how you can help protect racehorses by supporting this legislation.
Our commitment to horses is steadfast, and takes more forms than words alone. Last year, the ASPCA awarded $1.4 million in grants to support equine rescues and sanctuaries in 43 states and the District of Columbia. The grants were primarily awarded as part of the ASPCA Equine Fund, which provides life-saving resources including financial help, in-person and online training, and sharing of best practices to non-profit equine welfare organizations in America.
Learn what else you can do to help, including donating to the Equine Fund, visiting our Advocacy Center, or just by learning more, and sharing what you discover.
Horses have such a rich tradition of helping humans work, explore, play, and be simply less alone on the journey. They've been so strong for us. Isn't it time we be strong for them?
At the ASPCA, helping horses isn't just something we preach—it's something we practice in our work every single day. Intelligent, sensitive, and true American icons, horses have been at the heart of our mission since the very beginning, and in honor of our second annual National Help a Horse Day on April 26, we wanted to share the amazing story of Benny.
We first heard about Benny from our friends Joyce and Nona at Last Stop Horse Rescue in Prentiss, Maine. Last Stop is the recipient of an ASPCA grant: every three weeks, our grant funds the delivery of 20 bales of hay to Last Stop to feed the rescued horses.
We recently checked in with Last Stop, and that's when they told us Benny's story. Starved, emaciated and close to death, Benny arrived at Last Stop in August 2013. The four-year-old gelding showed clear signs of abuse and neglect, and was so weak that he could not stand on his own legs. The day of his arrival, he weighed just 562 pounds.
The staff at Last Stop spent several days trying to keep Benny standing, but ultimately, the best option was to place him in a sling hanging from a beam in the barn. At the recommendation of Dr. Ron Miles Benny was introduced to food slowly and in small amounts.
Slowly but surely, Benny gained strength. Over the 12 days that he was in the sling, Joyce says "we saw improvement each day with signs of brighter eyes, moving his feet more, and being able to consume more of the food that was being offered to him." The team at Last Stop fed him every hour around the clock, setting an alarm to ensure that he got meals throughout the night as well.
After nearly two weeks in a sling, Benny stood for the first time on August 15. It was a joyous day for all involved.
It has now been over six months since Benny arrived at Last Stop. He currently weighs 930 pounds, and uses his newfound strength to gallop around the pasture with his fellow horses. Despite years of abuse and neglect, Joyce says, "Benny is our miracle boy. Food and love was all he needed."
Stories like Benny's are what inspired us to create National Help a Horse Day. All too often, these amazing animals are mistreated, neglected, or even sent to slaughter. The ASPCA is determined to spread education and activism on behalf of equines everywhere, and Benny is proof that every horse is worth helping. Looking back at Benny's recovery, Joyce says, "This is what you have done for these horses with the grant from the ASPCA. Thank you!"
To see Benny in action, please watch Last Stop Horse Rescue's video of his recovery. Be sure to visit our Help a Horse page for information about events in your community. The ASPCA is awarding $10,000 grants to the top five equine organizations whose events inspire the most community engagement and support.

Where have USFS been hiding this girl???!!!
Oh, yeah in Pairs!
As you may have gathered, it is taking me some time to be convinced that Gracie Gold is the future of American Ladies skating.
But with Ashley Cain, I was convinced straight away after seeing her SP at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy. And her FS just cemented my opinion.
Of course, we are all talking about Radionova, because she won the Gold in her first senior international. And that is a magnificent achievement that should be talked about. But, we have known how good Radionova is for a few years now. Ashley Cain, on the other hand, just came out of the blue. Well, for us outside America, anyway!
But to win Bronze in your first senior international event as a singles skater, and to only be beaten by well-known names like Elena Radionova and Miki Ando, is some achievement as well.
And this was no fluke - Cain was 3rd in the SP (behind Radionova and Ando), and 2nd in the FS (behind only Radionova; Ando was 4th).
Ashley Cain is just so beautiful to watch on the ice. You would not think that she has only just come back from Pairs and, hence, is less experienced in singles skating than her peers.
I really can see her having a big future within Team USA. OK, so if we assume that Wagner and Gold are 2 of the girls going to Sochi, then I can't see Cain getting the third slot. There's just too many candidates - Czisny, Nagasu, Zhang, Cesario, Gao, Zawadski...
But if Wagner, Czisny and one or two of the other skaters retire after Sochi, then Cain has a good shot for Pjeongchang. She already has a good foundation on which to build over the next 4 years.
In summary, I think Ashley Cain deserves a thread in the Fan Fest forum. Because I have a feeling we will be talking a lot about her over the next few years...!!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by HolyH AMAZING!!! it was love at first sight for me. I purchased them right away at full price with no hesitation and I'm glad i did! they are even more amazing in person. I purchased them in the black. I am usually a size 7.5 - 8 in most shoes so i purchased the 8 to be safe and they fit perfectly. 1.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CathleenS love these!! When I saw these in the online catalog I bought them immediately, and I'm so happy I did. The studs are a little bit bigger and brighter than I had imagined, but not in a tacky way. I usually size up a half size in JC shoes, and these were no exception (I'm usually a 7 and I got these in a 7.5 which fit perfectly). They aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world, but that's not stopping me from wearing them. Love em! 12.8.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Tephi Super HOT boot, but OUCH! I ordered these in my normal shoe size and as soon as I put them on and stood up my right toe bone was hurting. I have very narrow feet so my only guess is the shoe is also very narrow. I sent them back and requested the next size up. I hope they work out because they are super hot boots. 3.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by monica3xo amazing! These boots are like no other! They make me feel tough and have a nice tall heel w/platform in front that make em feminine (oh and they make your feet look smaller).The "spikes" are more unique than other spiked shoes today. They are exactly as pictured. I wear a size 5 shoe but most places only carry size 6 and up. I usually put an insert in a size 6 to get a smaller fit but i do not need to do that in these booties. 1.30.2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by windsorw Super sweet I tried it on when it was recommended to me and I didn't expect it to look so gorgeous.With a pair of jean short, it'll be a simple, breezy but impressing look for summer. I'm 5'8 and usually a M, but this one I got a S. It's still the loose look it's supposed to be. I highly recommend it! 4.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lmermaid Perfect!! I am 5' 7"ish and 120 lbs and 34B. I bought the XS and I love this top! I didn't think this shirt would be as comfortable as it is! It is definitely very roomy, but i like that. On a hot summer day this top with some jean shorts is the perfect easy outfit! It is cotton and thin and great. Because of the two layers you can easily wear a regular beige bra underneath. 3.7.2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee SWEET!!! I don't know how many times I put this top in my shopping basket, then took if off, then put it back on. I finally went ahead and purchased it. I'm so glad I did because it's gorgeous!. Lightweight, flowy, delicate but has substance. I ordered an X-Small, my usual size. I worried a bit because it looks short at the middle front on the model but when I received my X-Small, it actually hits me below my belt line in the mid front which I really like. This is a perfect fit for me and I'm happy. Because the sides are longer, it actually detracts the eye from the boxy fit and gives it a softer line. I think this piece is designed very well. This top will be perfect for the coming Spring and Summer. Great for shorts, skirts, jeans. Also would look awesome over a lightweight dress for added interest. A wonderful layering piece. I recommend this highly! 2.23.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by chicaroo Beautiful I loved this top as soon as I saw it online and was not disappointed when I received it. I am usually a size xs/s and must say that this runs a bit on the larger side but it didn't really bother me -I loved it!! Super comfy and simple. It is a bit see-through but it is not tacky so no need to wear a singlet underneath. I also agree that this top is super feminine and I have received many compliments when I wear it. 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by volcanorain Feminine This is a very pretty light weight top that can be dressy or casual. A great top for warmer weather. A little boxy makes it quite comfortable! 2.6.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Samatha Daisy Chains top This top runs large and boxy. The lace in the front is floppy and did not look good on me so i sent it back. Quality is good but the style is not for me. 1.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by DarrylCanada Very nice top This is a nice top, just got it today and i'm happy. I would size down if you are unsure on fit because it is very loose. I'm 5'4 110, and 34C and the extra small fits exactly like the model but longer. Gorgeous color 1.18.2013

I finally got my FN30 built, this has been in progress for almost a year. It is based on the Halo design with a Halo plate. I got my internals back about 6 weeks ago but did not have time to even look at it. I decided to take a break from building stuff for everyone else and do a build for me.
this thing has a lot of rivets, I hot set them all by hand and finished them in the press. I fit the internals today and it looks like it will work, I need to cycle some dummy rounds through it next. hopefully I will be able to test it this weekend, and if it works park it the week after.
It is in .308 but 1919 bbls fit, so I will try to convert it to either 8mm or 30-06 so it will be cheaper to shoot.

...and yet they allowed (and still allow) AT&T to call their 3-and-a-quarter-G "4G"
Apple testing LTE network quality
Apple is apparently quite strict when it comes to allowing carriers to offer the iPhone 5 as an LTE device, requiring carriers to allow Apple to independently test the quality of their LTE network. If the network is up to Apple's standards, then they will enable LTE functionality on the iPhone 5. This test can mean that, as carriers across the world start rolling out their LTE networks, the iPhone 5 won't be immediately useable as an LTE device. At least that's what Swiss carrier Swisscom has discovered, according to a report by Telecoms.com:
Swisscom launched its LTE network this week although the iPhone 5 was not available as an LTE device at launch. "Apple will provide a software update in due course," the firm said in a press release.
Carriers have always tested devices to make sure that they ran properly on their networks, but handset manufacturers don't normally run tests on the network. Apple's policy gives them control over carriers, and pressures those who want the iPhone 5 to run on their network to make sure that it is reliable as soon as possible.
This test could also be a primary reason that an unlocked iPhone 5 will not work on an LTE network that is not affiliated with Apple. If Apple hasn't vetted the network, then the iPhone doesn't have the software update that allows it to work on LTE.
Most handset makers don't have the power to demand the ability to test networks. Apple can do this because people want the iPhone, and they don't want the phone they buy to have any functionality disabled because their carrier didn't meet Apple's standards. This affords Apple the opportunity to hold their carrier partners to Apple's standards of quality, at least with network performance. While it might seem like an inconvenience, this policy may help encourage carriers to get their LTE networks right, and not rushing them just to say they have LTE.

Apple testing LTE network quality

Let's say a carrier made some kind of mistake when configuring their LTE network that caused an iPhone 5 to use too much power when it is connected to the network. Who are people going to blame when their iPhones have poor battery life?
Apple's policy seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Who do they think they are... Oh yeah thats they're Apple!
Re: "While it might seem like an inconvenience, this policy may help encourage carriers to get their LTE networks right, and not rushing them just to say they have LTE."
It does seem inconvenient, to me.
If these are carriers who already have iPhones then all Apple is doing is limiting the LTE functionality to ZERO for customers instead of something between that and 100%.
You might call it inconvient but it makes total sense, Apple sells one of the most desired products on the planet, if carriers can't create a network up to the standards of such a device then they should not be able to market it as a 4g LTE phone on their network. Yea sprints 3G network is horrendous, but speaking from experience because I have a sprint iphone 5 and I live in Texas and drive around the city all day long because I work for time Warner cable, I'm almost always connected to LTE with 4 bars even in rural ass areas of Dallas. Sprints LTE is awesome and once it's footprint is as large as say verizon it will be better. Sorry for the rant.
Everyone is always busting AT&T's chops, but it's doing pretty well rolling out the 4g LTE. Even faster than some phones are adding it to their capabilities (hear that, Nexus?). As a real estate professional in Atlanta, I can't imagine trying to send large image files of blueprints over anything slower.

Mark Sanford and Elizabeth Colbert Busch will both talk at the Charleston Area chamber of commerce's Pork and Politics in the Park event next to the Charleston Maritime Center about 5:30 p.m. today.
Afterward, both 1st District congressional candidates are expected to be in Goose Creek, where they'll talk to that city's NAACP chapter. That meeting is at the Berkeley Electric Cooperative office, 2 Spring Hall Drive. Green Party candidate Eugene Platt also is expected to speak there.
Today's campaigning follows last night's big debate, where about 500 people heard Sanford and Colbert Busch talk in detail about federal spending, health care, gun control and their own backgrounds.
Sanford, a former GOP governor, returned to the site of Monday's debate today to address the Rotary Club's lunch meeting. Colbert Busch, a businesswoman and Democrat, began campaigning at 1 p.m. at a Hilton Head Island park, where she is unveiling a support committee of veterans and military families.
Rotary member John Tecklenburg, whose politics lean Democratic, criticized Colbert Busch for turning down Rotary's invitation, which would have been only the second debate between the two.
Both are expected to give separate remarks at two Charleston area sites later this afternoon.
The election is May 7.

Google Chrome 4.1 added a feature that detects the language of a web page and lets you translate it. The feature can't be disabled entirely (there's a setting for disabling it in the latest dev build), but you can hide the translation bar for certain languages. For example, if you go to Google Greece's homepage, there's an option button that lets you disable the translation bar for google.gr or for all Greek web pages.
The easiest way to disable the translation feature for the languages you're familiar with is to define a list of your preferred languages:
* click on the wrench menu, select Options, go to the "Under the hood" tab.
* click on "Change fonts and language settings" and go to the "Languages" tab.
* add the languages you use the read web pages.

YouTube added support for closed captioning, a feature that was already available at Google Video. If you edit one of your videos, you can click on the "Captions and subtitles" section and upload a captions file.
"Captions and subtitles make videos accessible to a wider audience by allowing folks who can not otherwise understand the audio track to follow along, especially those who are hard-of-hearing or speak other languages. Captions are in the same language as the video's audio track. Subtitles are in a different language," explains YouTube's help center.
For now, YouTube supports two formats: SubViewer (*.SUB) and SubRip (*.SRT). "To add several captions to a video, simply upload multiple files. If you want to include foreign subtitles in multiple languages, upload a separate file for each language. There are over 120 languages to choose from and you can add any title you want for each caption. If a video includes captions, you can activate them by clicking the menu button located on the bottom right of the video player."
YouTube Blog mentions some examples of videos that already use captions: a clip from Top Gear, a Japanese animation and a Physics lecture from MIT.
To turn off captions or select a different language, mouse over the small arrow button. You can either click on the "CC" option to deactivate the caption or select one of the other languages, if they are available. Embedded videos won't show the captions, at least for now.
Last month, Google showed a demo of a speech-to-text technology that automatically captions videos, but this doesn't work well for any kind of video. Even if the captions are provided by users or they are automatically generated, they will improve the quality of search results.

County health officials say infant death rates have been cut in half over the past decade, a trend that mimics statewide numbers.
And local numbers can be credited to education and proper prenatal care, they say.
Five children aged one or under died in 2010, while last year seven infants died in the county, according to Jeanna Read, assistant health director for the Surry County Health and Nutrition Center.
While last year's numbers were up slightly, Read notes that one of those deaths can be attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), five were the result of pre-term deliveries and one was caused by birth defects.
"Overall, we've seen a significant decrease over the past decade or so," Read said. "There has been a huge reduction in infant mortality in Surry County."
Tiffany Bullins, care management director for the health department, credits education with the improved rates.
"What we've done first of all is implement a program called Pregnancy Care Management, which focuses on high-risk pregnant women," she said.
Through the program, mothers-to-be receive a great deal of support and education throughout their pregnancy, support which continues until the children are two months old.
"We want to make sure these women get the prenatal care they need as well as post-partum support after delivery," Bullins said.
In addition, the health department offers post-partum newborn nurses who conduct home visits to care for both the infants and their mothers.
"During those visits, the nurses conduct an assessment on both mom and the baby, and offer a lot of education regarding SIDS and infant care," she said.
The county also has a Child Fatality Prevention Team, a state-mandated group who work to identify trends related to infant mortality.
"They look for things that stand out as an ongoing problem, or a systemic failure where death could be prevented," Read said. "We've noticed that most of our child deaths are infants, so we've also created in Infant Mortality Task Force that look for safety issues related to newborns."
Read said the county is pleased with what she called a "real downward trend" in the number of infant deaths that can be attributed to SIDS.
"Those numbers have dropped 50 percent since 1998," she said.
Local Numbers Parallel State
The Surry County numbers also mimic state figures, released earlier this week.
Those numbers show that childhood deaths from birth to age 18 are the lowest on record, having been cut in half over the past two decades.
Official figures gathered by the State Center for Health Statistics and the Child Fatality Prevention Team Research Staff showed a rate of 57.4 deaths per 100,000 children from birth through 17 years of age, compared to 57.5 deaths per 100,000 children in 2010 and 67.0 deaths per 100,000 children in 2009.
When North Carolina developed the Child Fatality Prevention System in 1990, the rate exceeded 100 deaths per 100,000 children.
Karen McLeod, co-chair of the North Carolina Child Fatality Task Force, echoed local officials in noting that education is key.
"Prevention is prevention is prevention," she said. "Each child death is just the tip of the iceberg, representing hundreds if not thousands of injuries or other undesirable results. The same strategies that reduce child death help prevent poor birth outcomes, broken homes and violence against and by children."
Highlights of the state study include:
• The 2011 death rate of 57.4 deaths per 100,000 children is the lowest recorded rate. It represents a decline of 46 percent since 1991, when the Child Fatality Prevention System was put in place.
• Poisoning is the fastest growing cause of child death. The majority of these deaths are to older adolescents, aged 15-17.
The increase is due mainly to misuse of prescription drugs and consistent with national trends. In the 1990s, it was unusual to record more than three teen poisoning deaths a year. Now, fewer than 10 in one year is unusual. Efforts such as Operation Medicine Drop, effective use of the Controlled Substance Reporting System, and other policy initiatives can help reduce misuse of prescription drugs.
• While the infant mortality rate remains near its historic low in 2010, infants under age one comprise about two-thirds of all child deaths. Birth defects were also the cause of seven percent of deaths to children over age one last year.
• Illness is a major cause of death, accounting for 19 percent of child deaths in 2011. Illness is the leading cause of death for children aged 1 to 14.
• Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of injury death for children.
• The number of drowning deaths which had been unusually high in 2010 declined to more typical levels in 2011. This is on the heels of increased water safety efforts by Safe Kids NC and others.
Elizabeth Hudgins, executive director of the state's task force, said it is important to continue to work to reduce the numbers further.
"Growing the prosperity of our state depends on assuring that our next generation grows up healthy, safe and strong," she said. "Maintaining the lowest child death rate on record shows the value of focused public policies and sustained and strategic investments for improving outcomes for our children. Knitting together a variety of evidence-informed policies has effects across the spectrum to prevent child death and promote well-being,"

AdwCleaner is a compact and portable tool which can help you to remove toolbars, adware and similar browser-based pests.
The program's interface is, well, a little basic. Click "Search" and in a moment or two an in-depth report appears in Notepad, describing any issues you might have. Click "Delete" and AdwCleaner will try to delete everything, displaying another Notepad report on the details. And that's about it.
While this is undoubtedly very simple, our immediate concern is that there's no general way to tell AdwCleaner what you want to keep, and what should go. The only control comes in the Options dialog, where you can instruct AdwCleaner to ignore the Ask toolbar, or not to examine one or more browsers (the program supports IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera).
Does it work, though? To find out, we installed a few free programs, allowing them to install whatever they liked. And when we ran AdwCleaner, it correctly detected and displayed everything we'd just acquired: the RelevantKnowledge service, Babylon Toolbar, Complitly, Smart Suggestor and more.
We clicked "Delete", and after confirming that yes, we really were sure, AdwCleaner went to work, closing all our programs, removing the various files and Registry keys, and rebooting our PC. You don't get much choice in any of this - there's no "reboot later" option - and, again, we didn't really feel in control. But when our system restarted, the unwanted extras had all disappeared, and that's clearly good news.
AdwCleaner is short on options, then. It's difficult to see or control exactly what it's going to do. And there's no real documentation, which all goes to make us feel just a little on the nervous side.
But, at the same time, the program does appear to do a reasonable job of detecting and removing common browser annoyances. And so, while it wouldn't be our first choice of toolbar remover, it might be worth keeping a copy of AdwCleaner in reserve, just in case you encounter something that your regular tools can't handle.

I think blotted out means 'no grace' for a while.(book of life)
It was just my thought. Nothing from official sources....If I check a leading dictionary like Merriam-Webster it indeed means ereased (from a book).But other sources:Obliterate, wipe out of existence or memory[/color], as in At least one Indian nation was blotted out as the pioneers moved west, or The trauma of the accident blotted out all her memory of recent events. This idiom, first recorded in 1516, uses the verb to blot in the sense of making something illegible by spotting or staining it with ink. The New Testament has it (Acts 3:19): "Repent ye ... that your sins may be blotted out."So "blotted out" means "removed from"KJV is full of italics. Added words to improve readability. I think the verse you quoted needs some italics.Below 3 verses from YLT and my interpretation of them.YLTPsalm 9:5 .... Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever. YLTPsalm 69:28 They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written. YLTRevelation 3:5 ....shall be arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of the life.... WWPsalm 9:5 You have removed their name from the book of life for this age and (part of) the next age.WWPsalm 69:28 Their name is removed from the book of life, but the names of the righteous are.WWRevelation 3:5 ... shall be dressed in white, and I won't remove his name from the book of life.
I thought this one was odd, too.Psa 13:1 (KJV) How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?H5331 ("for ever") here according to Strong's is:נצח נצחnetsach nêtsachneh'-tsakh, nay'-tsakhFrom H5329; properly a goal, that is, the bright object at a distance travelled towards; hence (figuratively), splendor, or (subjectively) truthfulness, or (objectively) confidence; but usually (adverbially), continually (that is, to the most distant point of view): - alway (-s), constantly, end, (+ n-) ever (more), perpetual, strength, victory."Forever" was an odd translation of this word also...
This verse can be broken down in two parts the way I read it.a] A statement of David that God does abandon people (sometimes)b] A question about how long that abandoning is gonna last.It's important to see those two parts seperately.
as far as I know, the ancient hebrews had no word that mean't eternal in the modern sense of "endless"

Wind: 3 mph
By Chris Pierson
When did the search for fact become so confrontational? At last Thursday's Waitsfield Select Board meeting, the board was presented a petition requesting a reconsideration of the town office bond vote held on July 30. Upon receiving this petition, I requested a clarification of the facts from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the granting agency, because I, like others, was unclear on the limitations of the grant as they pertained to potential site locations. I found the grant agent's responses to our questions at the June 10 select board meeting to be contradictory, as well as his responses to an email seeking clarification from Bob Burley and Ellen Strauss, that was presented at the special Town Meeting prior to the vote. In fact, I found one supported the other adding to the confusion, and I voiced my concern at that meeting.
Initially, I supported putting the bond vote before the voters because I did not feel determining the importance of the grant to the community was the board's decision to make or mine. When the recent petition was submitted it forced the select board to move forward on a reconsideration of the vote. While the Farm Stand site is not my first choice, neither is yet another vote on the same issue. I was prepared to move forward based on the outcome of the July 30 vote. State statute mandates the bond vote must now be reconsidered – making it the select board's job to make sure it is done and done fairly.
Due to the confusion, I thought it best to seek clarification. I felt if I allowed the vote to move forward without gaining a full understanding of the grant's limitations, it would only perpetuate further distrust and resentment in the community regardless of the pending vote's outcome. Upon my request for clarification, fellow board member Bill Parker jumped down my throat for seeking the facts. When is it okay to not seek out the facts? When is it okay for one member to question the effort of another member seeking the facts? I contend had Bill not created an uproar and simply consented to a request for clarification nobody would have questioned what should have been a simple procedural matter, let alone allowed the editor of this paper to make assumptions concerning my intentions.
It has been asked, why didn't I simply seek an opinion outside the scope of the board? What would the allegations be if the response were all sites would be considered? Only then it would be at a later date creating more confusion and contention closer to the pending vote. It has been stated my motivation for seeking the facts is to muddy the water. I find it pathetic that people could twist the desire to possess the facts as a political ploy.
I guess some are more politically savvy than I, or perhaps they possess agendas. I don't know, but I do know the search for the facts and the truth as a select board member is my greatest responsibility.
I would like to thank Josh Hanford at the CDBG for being receptive and giving of his time and his understanding of the importance facts play when voters make decisions and the importance of this project in particular.
I have since concluded my fact-finding mission and I am happy to report the facts are that the current grant is only good for the Farm Stand site. If we vote it down, we lose the current commitment. We can re-apply for an alternative site, but there are no guarantees that the money will be available.
Now it is time for you to decide. Get out and vote!
Chris Pierson lives in Waitsfield and is a member of the select board.

- Baryon stopping and strange baryon and anti-baryon production at ultrarelativistic energies (2002)
- The amount of proton stopping in central Pb+Pb collisions from 20–160 A GeV as well as hyperon and antihyperon rapidity distributions are calculated within the UrQMD model in comparison to experimental data at 40, 80, and 160 A GeV taken recently from the NA49 collaboration. Furthermore, the amount of baryon stopping at 160A GeV for Pb+Pb collisions is studied as a function of centrality in comparison to the NA49 data. We find that the strange baryon yield is reasonably described for central collisions, however, the rapidity distributions are somewhat more narrow than the data. Moreover, the experimental antihyperon rapidity distributions at 40, 80, and 160 A GeV are underestimated by up to factors of 3—depending on the annihilation cross section employed—which might be addressed to missing multimeson fusion channels in the UrQMD model. Pacs-Nr.: 25.75.2q, 24.10.Jv, 24.10.Lx
- Collective flow of open and hidden charm in Au + Au collisions at s = 200-GeV (2005)
- We study the collective flow of open charm mesons and charmonia in Au + Au collisions at s = 200 GeV within the hadron-string-dynamics (HSD) transport approach. The detailed studies show that the coupling of D, mesons to the light hadrons leads to comparable directed and elliptic flow as for the light mesons. This also holds approximately for J/ mesons since more than 50% of the final charmonia for central and midcentral collisions stem from D + induced reactions in the transport calculations. The transverse momentum spectra of D, mesons and J/ s are only very moderately changed by the (pre-)hadronic interactions in HSD, which can be traced back to the collective flow generated by elastic interactions with the light hadrons. PACS-Nr. 25.75.-q, 13.60.Le, 14.40.Lb, 14.65.Dw
- Charmed signatures for phase transitions in heavy-ion collisions (2007)
- The interplay of charmonium production and suppression in In+In and Pb+Pb reactions at 158 AGeV and in Au+Au reactions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV is investigated with the HSD transport approach within the hadronic comover model' and the QGP melting scenario'. The results for the J/Psi suppression and the Psi' to J/Psi ratio are compared to the recent data of the NA50, NA60, and PHENIX Collaborations. We find that, at 158 AGeV, the comover absorption model performs better than the scenario of abrupt threshold melting. However, neither interaction with hadrons alone nor simple color screening satisfactory describes the data at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. A deconfined phase is clearly reached at RHIC, but a theory having the relevant degrees of freedom in this regime (strongly interacting quarks/gluons) is needed to study its transport properties.
- Fluctuations and correlations from microscopic transport theory (2009)
- The multiplicity fluctuations in A+A collisions at SPS and RHIC energies are studied within the HSD transport approach. We find a dominant role of the fluctuations in the nucleon participant number for the final fluctuations. In order to extract physical fluctuations one should decrease the fluctuations in the participants number. This can be done considering very central collisions. The system size dependence of the multiplicity fluctuations in central A+A collisions at the SPS energy range – obtained in the HSD and UrQMD transport models – is presented. The results can be used as a 'background' for experimental measurements of fluctuations as a signal of the critical point. Event-by-event fluctuations of the K/p , K/p and p/p ratios in A+A collisions are also studied. Event-by-event fluctuations of the kaon to pion number ratio in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied for SPS and RHIC energies. We find that the HSD model can qualitatively reproduce the measured excitation function for the K/p ratio fluctuations in central Au+Au (or Pb+Pb) collisions from low SPS up to top RHIC energies. The forward-backward correlation coefficient measured by the STAR Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is also studied. We discuss the effects of initial collision geometry and centrality bin definition on correlations in nucleus-nucleus collisions. We argue that a study of the dependence of correlations on the centrality bin definition as well as the bin size may distinguish between these 'trivial' correlations and correlations arising from 'new physics'. 5th International Workshop on Critical Point and Onset of Deconfinement - CPOD 2009, June 08 - 12 2009 Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, New York, USA
- Dynamical equilibration in strongly-interacting parton-hadron matter (2011)
- We study the kinetic and chemical equilibration in 'infinite' parton-hadron matter within the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for partons matched to reproduce lattice-QCD results – including the partonic equation of state – in thermodynamic equilibrium. The 'infinite' matter is simulated within a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions initialized at different baryon density (or chemical potential) and energy density. The transition from initially pure partonic matter to hadronic degrees of freedom (or vice versa) occurs dynamically by interactions. Different thermody-namical distributions of the strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) are addressed and discussed.

This is one of the world's smallest and brightest mini flashlights. 2.5 inches long 11 grams, (0.4 ounces) Uses 1 AAA battery High 96 Lumens (55 min), Med 22 Lumens (4 hrs), Low 1.8 Lumens (50 hrs) To lend you some perspective, a big D-cell Maglite only puts out 27 lumens, which is roughly the ITP's medium setting. The low setting (firefly) is perfect for times when you don't want to disturb anyone, such as packing up early at a shelter,… Full review
Fenix PD32 Flashlight
Small, bright, and sturdy. This is what I found with the Fenix PD32 flashlight. The Fenix PD32 is a hand held flashlight that easily fits into the palm of my hand. Its overall length is 5". The light source is a Cree LED (XP-G2) which outputs a maximum of 340 lumens. The life span on the LED is 50,000 hours. The function selector switch determines the mode — SOS, strobe, low, medium (bright), high (really bright), and turbo (really, really bright). After the initial playing around with it,… Full review
Fenix LD02
I got this light for a backup/quick access light on my backpack, and it works great. It runs on 1 AAA battery, has three brightness settlings. The lowest setting is about as bright as a cheap AAA flashlight, and the brightest setting is adequate for almost any task in the dark, up to about 10-15 feet away, but I believe that it goes back to the medium setting after a bit, to avoid burning up the bulb.

NiteCore SRT7 Revenger
The SRT7 is a 1x18650, 2xCR123A/RCR model that is distinguished by several additional features, including multi-color secondary LEDs. I believe it is also the first Nitecore light I've tested with the latest XM-L2 white LED. The SRT7 has a forward tailcap clicky — press and release for momentary on, click for locked on. Mode switching is controlled by the magnetic control ring in the head. As previously mentioned, the SRT7 features a continuously-variable interface for the main white LED. But… Full review
NiteCore SRT7 Revenger
A do-it-all flashlight that is as bright as the sun. Right size, the right features, and an all around perfect flashlight. I am not a flashlight aficionado, but I can appreciate a quality light. I bought this on sale for $80 and it is the single greatest flashlight I have ever purchased; ever. This is like having the sun in the palm of your hands. It has a bunch of modes like an SOS strobe, blue/red/green/ blue/red flashing LEDs and a dimmable cree LED in true white that can be adjusted from non… Full review
Fenix E25 Flashlight
A spot light that fits in your pocket and runs on 2 AA's. This is my go-to light. It's very bright, and shines a beam like a spotlight up to around 50 yards, but will light up things up to about 100 yards. I have no issue at all night hiking with this light because it's so bright and shines so far. I initially got it for exploring mines and caves because my Petzl TacTikka XP just wasn't enough for the mist filled air, or the long tunnels (good headlamp, bad spot light). i got my E25 for $30 and… Full review

Panthers Claw Hawks
Big run to finish first half
- Release Date:
- December 2, 2009
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's basketball team traveled to Hilbert on December 2 for an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) game and left town with a 85-55 win. Hilbert stayed in the game for the first 7 minutes of the game until Bradford went on a 36-14 run to finish the half. Hilbert's record stands 0-7 (0-2 AMCC) and Bradford improves to 2-4 (2-1 AMCC).
Bradford had good spacing on the floor, moved the ball well, and shot 50% from behind the arc to take the 50-26 half time lead to the locker room. The number of shot attempts were almost equal in the first half (43 – 39 in favor of the visitors) but when one team has 44% FG percentage and the other is only at 26%, it is easy to see why the separation occurs in scoring. In the second half, Hilbert's defense was more aggressive on the perimeter which resulted in several break-away lay ups as the game came to a conclusion.
Hilbert was led by sophomore guard Mary Zinni (Batavia, NY/Batavia) with 14 points and 4 assists. Zinni had plenty of looks at the hoop but her shot just wasn't falling. Fellow sophomore Julie Bossard (Arkport, NY/Canisteo-Greenwood) came through with a double-double scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Guard Devin Davis (Waterbury, Ct/Sacred Heart) {in photo} had 3 steals to go along with her 11 points.
Hilbert hosts La Roche College on Saturday, December 5th with a 1 pm tip. The Hawks will then travel twice next week before the Conference game schedules take a break for the Christmas holiday. Wednesday, December 9th, Hilbert will be at cross-town rival Medaille College and then Saturday, December 12 Penn State Altoona hosts.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee would like to remind friends of the athletics program that this weekend the club will once again be hosting an unwrapped Toys and non-perishable Food Drive to be donated to needy families at the holidays.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
A. Whitney Brown
I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
A. Whitney Brown
Anyone who's read the latest studies about high-protein diets knows that we need to get a substantial amount of protein in our diets—about a third of a gram for every pound of body weight (see Steve Edwards' analysis in last week's article, "The Best Diet for Weight Loss," in Related Articles below). One of the best and most readily available sources of protein comes from animals, but there are a lot of good reasons to think about cutting back or cutting out our consumption of meat to satisfy our protein needs.
Aside from the obvious animal-rights issues, there are several economic and environmental considerations to consider. The USDA estimates that it takes roughly 16 pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. When you consider that one-third of the world's population is classified by the World Health Organization as starving, it's easy to see where some of that grain could be put to better use. Beef production also impacts the ecosystem, from the clear-cutting of rainforests for grazing to water pollution to methane emissions, which contribute to greenhouse gases. And the cost of meat to your personal health is also significant. Although packed with protein, many meat choices contain high levels of saturated fats, the overconsumption of which can lead to heart disease and cancer.
At any rate, this article isn't designed to be a polemic about the benefits of vegetarian living. Picking up a book like Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation or Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, not to mention any of the vast Internet resources available on the subject, might convince you to replace meat with an alternative protein source a couple of meals a week.
The challenge in going vegetarian is finding enough "high-quality" protein. High-quality protein is defined as protein that contains all eight of the essential amino acids: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Most meat sources have all of the amino acids in one place. Plant sources usually have some of the acids, but not all in one place. So the key is combining foods to get a full complement of amino acids. Here are some of the top places to get your proteins (vegans, skip to #3). We'll skip soy for the time being—to read more about the good and the bad of soy, scroll down to Steve Edwards' article in this newsletter.
And, of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the greatest protein substitute of them all, Beachbody's own
Whey Protein Powder! (Come on, what'd you pay for this newsletter?) With 18 grams of protein in every scoop, and available in chocolate and vanilla flavors, it's a great addition to your health shake, containing the highest concentration of branched-chain amino acids of any source, critical for muscle development. Also, if you're thinking of cutting back on fish in your diet, you might want to consider adding a decent omega-3 supplement to your regimen.

Soy took another hit last week when a study was released showing that eating half a serving a day could lower a man's sperm count. Over the last few decades, soy has usurped many traditional crops and has been an ever-increasing part of our daily diets. The latest finding is just another in what seems to be an ever-growing list of health concerns surrounding soy. But, we still regularly see headlines promoting soy as a miracle food, so it's hard to know whether or not it's healthy. We analyzed the latest claims and concerns, and came up with a list of the top ten questions you might have about soy.

"what about egg beaters- low fa, high protein"
– Gus, East Providence, RI
"Eggs and dairy are from animals and not vegetarian. We recommend spending a day on a farm to learn about food sources."
– J S Alexander, Santa Monica, CA
"Great article about soy...but, don't forget the dangers of soy consumption on the thyroid. There are many links on the web, just look up soy and thyroid, and check it out."
– MJ Williams, La Mirada, CA
"What about soy..."
– Sue, Pembroke Pines, FL
"Eggs and dairy are indeed from animals. There are many variations of vegetarianism, but for the most common vegetarian eggs and dairy are suitable, but not for vegans. If you choose a vegan diet and lifestyle, then you do not consume any type of dairy, meat, animal by products, or even products produced from animal labor such as honey. Thats a tough one since I love honey in my coffee."
– Terry Majamaki, Beverly Hills, CA
"I have hypothyroidism, and have been told that soy should be avoided with any thyroid problem. Has this been confirmed or is it just a myth"
– Tracy, Prescott, AZ
"According to my naturopath and several articles I have read, there is a difference between protein content and available protein which is the amount of protein that the body can absorb from food. For instance, many grains have quite a bit of protein but much of it is not available for absorbtion by humans due the the relatively quick way human body processes food. Can you comment."
– Frances, Portland, OR
"I heard a report last week on NPR that there are a couple studies to suggest a link between tofu and alzheimer's. I have found several references to this including on the UKs Alzheimers Research Trust site. As mentioned on your page, I think eating as non-processed food as possible is the best bet."
"Hemp is an excellent source of vegetable protein also"
– Bill Wachter, Pgh, PA
"Thanks for the article, I have been a Vegan and latley a Vegeterian for the past 12 months, I still learned from your article and will now include other items to get my protein needs met. I feel a large part of my weight gain is due overating carbs, beacuase I am hungry likely because I am not meeting my protein needs. Thanks again this will help me so much."
"In response to JS. The term vegitarian is applied to a Person of a certain diet. The author said vegitarian protein sources. Vegitarians consume eggs and dairy, therefore a legitimate protein source. Maybe you should spend a day with a dictionary."
– Vegitarian and can read, Chicago, IL

Chief Superior Court Judge William Prior accepted the plea April 22 during a trial week plea day.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Waystack told the court that, as part of the plea negotiations, one of Carter's three cases was dismissed. The charges in that case were for false statements and false report of a crime.
The defendant received five years each for eight counts of conversion of payments for real property improvement that concerned the building of homes on Graystone Park Drive, Amy Drive, Amanda Drive and Dolly Street in 2008 and 2009.
"This all stems from Mr. Carter accepting money as a contractor in exchange for working on a house. He contracted with the homeowner who would pay him, and he had a subcontractor do the work. But he never paid the subcontractor," she said.
