therapeutics, treatment and care of a patient for the purpose of both preventing and combating disease or alleviating pain or injury. The term comes from the Greek therapeutikos, which means "inclined to serve."
In a broad sense therapeutics means serving and caring for the patient in a comprehensive manner, preventing disease as well as managing specific problems. Exercise, diet, and mental factors are therefore integral to the prevention, as well as the management, of disease processes. More specific measures that are employed to treat specific symptoms include the use of drugs to relieve pain or treat infection, surgery to remove diseased tissue or replace poorly functioning or nonfunctioning organs with fully operating ones, and counseling or psychotherapy to relieve emotional distress. Confidence in the physician and in the method selected enhances effectiveness.
Preventive medicine
The rationale for preventive medicine is to identify risk factors in each individual and reduce or eliminate those risks in an attempt to prevent disease. Primary prevention is the preemptive behavior that seeks to avert disease before it develops—for example, vaccinating children against diseases. Secondary prevention is the early detection of disease or its precursors before symptoms appear, with the aim of preventing or curing it. Examples include regular cervical Papanicolaou test screening and mammography. Tertiary prevention is an attempt to stop or limit the spread of disease that is already present. Clearly, primary prevention is the most cost-effective method of controlling disease.
The five leading causes of death in the United States are cardiovascular disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease, accidental injuries, and chronic lung disease. The single most preventable cause of death in the United States is cigarette smoking, which is linked to cardiovascular disease (heart attack), cancer (lung, larynx, bladder, pancreas, and so on), cerebrovascular disease (stroke), and chronic lung disease (emphysema, chronic bronchitis).
Following earlier work by the Canadian Task Force on the Periodic Health Examination, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force was established to evaluate the effectiveness of various screening tests, immunizations, and prophylactic regimens based on a critical review of the scientific literature. Its report, Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, lists the recommendations for the 60 target conditions evaluated by the panel.
Immunization is the best method for preventing infectious diseases. Standard immunizations of infants and children include those for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP); polio (OPV); measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); Haemophilus influenzae type b (HbCV); and hepatitis B (HBV). A yearly vaccine against the influenza virus should be administered to adults who are older than 65 years of age, to those at risk because of chronic cardiopulmonary disease, and to those in chronic care facilities. Adults also should be immunized once at age 65 years against pneumococcal pneumonia with a vaccine containing 23 of the most common strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Table 4).
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), is also a major infectious disease problem. Although a vaccine is expected, obstacles to its development are great. The only primary preventive measures currently available are either to abstain from sexual contact or to use condoms and, among intravenous drug users, to avoid sharing needles. Almost 25 percent of adult AIDS cases in the United States are related to infection from needles used to administer illegal drugs.
The risk factors for coronary artery disease that can be modified to prevent myocardial infarction are cigarette smoking, hypertension, an elevated serum cholesterol level, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption. In addition to an elevated total serum cholesterol level, an elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level and a decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level are significant risk factors. The total cholesterol level and elevated LDL level can be reduced by appropriate diet, whereas a low HDL can be raised by stopping smoking and increasing activity. If these measures do not provide adequate control, a variety of drugs capable of lowering the cholesterol level are available.
The major risk factor for stroke is hypertension, with cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus significantly increasing the risk. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) occur before stroke in 20 percent of patients and consist of sudden onset of one or more of the following symptoms: temporary loss of vision in one eye, unilateral numbness, temporary loss of speech or slurred speech, and localized weakness of an arm or leg. Attacks last less than 24 hours and resolve without permanent damage until the stroke occurs.
The most important preventive behaviour in averting cancer is the avoidance of cigarette smoke. Smoking accounts for 30 percent of all cancer deaths, and there is increasing recognition of the danger of environmental or sidestream smoke to the nonsmoker. Primary prevention of skin cancer includes restricting exposure to ultraviolet light by using sunscreens or protective clothing. Secondary preventive measures include mammography, clinical breast examinations, and breast self-examinations for breast cancer; pelvic examinations and Papanicolaou tests for cervical and ovarian cancer; and sigmoidoscopy, digital rectal examinations, and stool tests for occult blood for colorectal cancer.
Demineralization of bone and a reduction in bone mass (osteoporosis) occur most often in men and women age 70 or older and may result in fractures, low back pain, and loss of stature. Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women that is caused by estrogen deficiency is the most common manifestation. The most effective method for preventing loss of bone mass after menopause is estrogen replacement therapy and increased calcium intake. Primary preventive measures include increasing physical activity and avoiding cigarettes and heavy alcohol consumption.
Alcohol abuse is the primary reason that accidents are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Other factors are failure to wear seat belts or motorcycle helmets, sleep deprivation, and guns in the home. Taking reasonable precautions and being aware of the potential dangers of alcohol and firearms can help reduce the number of deaths due to accidents.
Treatment of symptoms
Pain is the most common of all symptoms and often requires treatment before its specific cause is known. Pain is both an emotional and a physical experience and is difficult to compare from one person to another. One patient may have a high pain threshold and complain only after the disease process has progressed beyond its early stage, while another with a low pain threshold may complain about pain that would be ignored or tolerated by most people. Pain from any cause can be increased by anxiety, fear, depression, loneliness, and frustration or anger.
Acute pain serves a useful function as a protective mechanism that leads to the removal of the source of the pain, whether it be localized injury or infection. Chronic pain serves a less useful function and is often more difficult to treat. Although acute pain requires immediate attention, its cause is usually easily found, whereas chronic pain complaints may be more vague and difficult to isolate.
The ideal method for treating pain is to eliminate the cause, such as to surgically remove an inflamed structure, to apply hot compresses to a muscle spasm, or to set a fractured bone in a cast. Alternatives to drug therapy, such as physical therapy, should be relied on whenever possible. The analgesic drugs most often used to alleviate mild and moderate pain are the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or indomethacin. If these are ineffective, a weak opiate such as codeine, hydrocodone, or oxycodone would be the next choice. Severe pain not controlled by these agents requires a strong opiate such as morphine or meperidine. Because opiates are addictive, their use is controlled by the Controlled Substances Act, and individuals prescribing or dispensing these drugs must register annually with the Drug Enforcement Administration. Each drug is assigned to one of five groups, from schedule I, which includes drugs that have the highest potential for abuse, to schedule V, which includes drugs with a limited dependence-causing potential.

Wind: 0 mph
November 16, 2006
By Erin Post
Preparation and awareness were the key words Tuesday night during a training session for the Mad River Valley Neighborhood Watch.
About 30 area residents attended the session hosted by law enforcement personnel and local organizers at the Waitsfield School.
The hour-long meeting was taped by MRVTV, Channel 44, for broadcast, and organizer Fred Messer said DVDs will be available for residents who could not make the training.
Two training booklets, one focused on home and personal security and the other on protocols for the watch program, were handed out to attendees.
The program sets up a system to distribute press releases from state police to Watch participants, and also provides the means to relay tips and information from local residents back to police.
Law enforcement officers emphasized that they need "actionable information" from Watch participants, not gossip or hearsay.
Vermont State Police Sergeant Bob Danaher said detailed information based on an eyewitness account is the most helpful of all.
When it comes to tracking down a suspect, seemingly inconsequential details may be the ones that break a case: information such as what kind of jewelry a person was wearing, what type of hat they had on, whether they had a beard or mustache, if they walked with a limp or if they carried any items with them.
"Don't just take a casual glance," Danaher said. "Take a good, hard look at that person."
The same goes for a suspicious vehicle.
The make and model of a vehicle, the color, and even details such as whether the paint was faded or the car was rusting may be the facts that help police solve a crime. License plate numbers, even if it is only a few digits, are also important to write down.
"The sooner you write that information down, the better off we're going to be when you pass that information along to us," Danaher said.
As far as getting information from the state police to Watch participants, Lieutenant John Imburgio, Middlesex barracks commander, said press releases will likely be emailed to designated coordinators in each town.
If any of the reports contain information relevant to the area, those coordinators would then forward the release to all of the Watch participants on their list, keeping them informed of investigations and suspects that police may be seeking.
Anonymous tips are acceptable, Imburgio said, but they "may not necessarily be acted on" because of limitations in a court of law. The courts often consider anonymous tips "unreliable" because of the lack of accountability, unless they are corroborated by other sources.
Considering these limitations, residents who are willing to give their names and go on record with their information are the most helpful to police, he said.
Learning how to better protect families and homes from criminals is also an important component of the Watch program, organizers said.
"The key in home security first of all is planning," Washington County Deputy Sheriff Peter Laskowski told the group.
He said having good locks and sturdy windows ensures a home is not an easy target. Although it may seem like common sense, knowing the local number for the Vermont State Police as well as the sheriff's department and ambulance is critical when an emergency strikes.
Organizers are in the process of signing up block captains and town coordinators. Each Valley town has five large neighborhood watch signs at their disposal, and towns may order more if necessary, said Dr. Wayne Whitelock, president of the Central Vermont State Police Community Advisory Board.
The watch program is funded through grants secured by the advisory board in cooperation with the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) #5.

BRADFORD, PA – Hilbert held a 1-0 lead over Pitt-Bradford at half time before they gave up five second-half goals to the undefeated AMCC league leaders in women's soccer October 9. Robbi Bailey {in photo to right} notched her fifth goal this season as Hilbert dropped to 2-9-1, 0-4-1 AMCC. Bradford's Emily Mitchell earned four points in her team's fifth straight AMCC win improving to 10-4 overall.
Nicole Blair lifted her free kick over the defensive line and Bailey connected at 43:17. The Hawks held onto that lead for the next thirteen minutes until Mitchell struck. Three minutes later Tess Follman's unassisted score turned out to be the game-winner at 59:17. The Panthers were credited with three more scores before the final horn while holding Hilbert scoreless. Erin Smith took the loss in net making 10 saves for the Hawks.
Hilbert travels to Penn State Altoona (1-4) this weekend and then to D'Youville (2-2-1) on October 16.

- Rise and development of Slavic accentual paradigms (2009)
- It appears that the complexity of Slavic historical accentology is prohibitive for most non-specialists in the field. It may therefore be useful to approach the subject from a number of different angles in order to render it more accessible to a wider audience. In the following I shall discuss the separate accent paradigms and their development from the Late Balto-Slavic system, which is structurally similar to that of modern Lithuanian, up to the end of the Proto-Slavic period, when the system resembled what we find in modern Serbo-Croatian. The numbering of the stages 1.0 through 10.12 is the same as in my earlier publications (1989, 2003, 2005, 2006a, 2008b). For the rise and development of the accentual system up to the end of the Balto-Slavic period I may refer to my discussion (2006b, 2008a) of Olander's dissertation (2006). It resulted in a system of four major and two minor accent types.
- West Slavic accentuation (2009)
- At the time of the earliest reconstructible dialectal divergences, which belong to the Late Middle Slavic period of my chronology (stages 7.0 - 8.0 of Kortlandt 1989a, 2003, 2008), the West Slavic languages represented the most conservative part of the Slavic dialects (cf. Kortlandt 1982b: 191 and 2003: 231).
- All's well that ends well (2009)
- A few years ago, Jasanoff adopted the central tenet of my accentological theory, viz. that the Balto-Slavic acute was a stød or glottal stop, not a rising tone (cf. Kortlandt 1975, 1977, 2004, Jasanoff 2004a). Of course, nobody will believe Jasanoff's claim that he arrived at the same result independently thirty years after I published it and ten years after we discussed it when he came to Leiden to visit us. Though at the time he haughtily dismissed "the tangle of secondary hypotheses and "laws" that clutter the ground in the field of Balto-Slavic accentology" (Jasanoff 2004b: 171), he has now recognized the importance of Pedersen's law, Hirt's law, Winter's law, Meillet's law, Dolobko's law, Dybo's law and Stang's law and largely accepted my relative chronology of these accent laws, including the loss of the acute shortly before Stang's law (cf. Jasanoff 2008). He has also accepted my split of Pedersen's law into a Balto-Slavic and a Slavic phase (to which a Lithuanian phase must be added), my thesis that the tonal contours of Baltic and Slavic languages are post-Balto-Slavic innovations (cf. Jasanoff 2008: 344, fn. 10), and the rise of a tonal distinction on non-acute initial syllables before Dybo's law which I discussed at some length in my review (1978) of Garde's monograph (1976). This is great progress.
- Balto-Slavic accentuation revisited (2009)
- There is every reason to welcome the revised edition (2009) of Thomas Olander's dissertation (2006), which I have criticized elsewhere (2006). The book is very well written and the author has a broad command of the scholarly literature. I have not found any mistakes in Olander's rendering of other people's views. This makes the book especially useful as an introduction to the subject. It must be hoped that the easy access to a complex set of problems which this book offers will have a stimulating effect on the study of Balto-Slavic accentology.
- More on the chronology of Celtic sound changes (2009)
- Graham Isaac's recent monograph (2007) deals with the chronology of Celtic sound changes. Remarkably, the author completely disregards the relative chronology which I published 28 years earlier (1979). In the following I shall discuss the main issues on which our views differ.

What my experiments show
Originally posted by s_j_newbury View PostLuke, while technically a graphically very simple GPU accelerated game might be well be non-CPU limited at the extreme, I'm not sure what you're trying to measure. It could well be you're hitting the GPU fillrate limit, exceeding the internal bandwidth of the card and at such high frame-rates I can't see how it's meaningful.
Until rather recently, Critter had issues with running rough on Mesa drivers, dropping frames and visibly stuttering unless the framerate never went under about 300fps. This was because frames would be dropped in strings, and a high framerate kept down the time covered by an entire string of missing or duplicate frames. Both Radeon and Nouveau drivers were affected, I'm pretty sure Intel was too, though it's been awhile since I've tried to ply Critter on the netbook. Nouveau, due to the lack of ability to reclock the GPU, had trouble getting a GTX450 over about 250fps at 1080p, at which point the stuttering was very noticable. A few months ago, another Nouveau test found the roughness in Critter greatly reduced, and the highest framerates in Scorched3d up around 30fps from around 18. About all I use Nvidia stuff for these days is to see how Nouveau is doing from time to time.
I thought and still think it is NUTS that a game whose progenitors ran on video arcade machines of 30 years ago would have issues running on ANY driver on ANY graphics card produced since whatever version of OpenGL it was written in came out, but it does or at least did due to the dropped frame roughness issue. I would have expected CPU and GPU to sit at stone cold idle playing a Galaxians style game, but due to how it was written this is far from the case. In fact, nothing else I have (game or otherwise) will generate more heat in my graphics cards, as Scorched3d and 0ad are both so CPU limited that the graphics card is of reduced importance it seeems. Due to that, I use both Critter and Scorched3d to benchmark graphics drivers in my machines with games I actualy play. Critter is more repeatable and works the smaller HD5570 as hot as it does an Nivdia GT520 on its blob, Scorched3d is much more graphically demanding but dislikes the sb backend that seems to help a bit in 0ad. 0ad is so CPU bound that even 3 or 4-way SLI on Nvidia's blob would probably show little or no benefit, while finding a way to run the AI in one instance of the game connected to the player game running as a multi-player game would possibly double framerates when a few hundred characters are on the board-and do so even on the ATI HD5570.
Sorry this is not using a test suite written for games I do not have and cannot easily download due to bandwidth issues, but I just try to add what information I do get to the total body of information that is out there. I'm using some less common hardware, so I figure the results might help somebody,

Afraid of Vaccines? Have your child suck a stranger's spitNovember 7th, 2011
This has got to be one of the most bizarre, crazy and just plain disgusting stories I've heard in a long time.
Chickenpox is a pretty nasty disease to have.Ā Like most adults, I went through it when I was a child because there was no vaccine at the time.Ā It was pretty misserable, but I was lucky, because despite missing more than a week of school and being covered with anĀ itchy, painful rash, I didn't have any lasting effects.ĀĀ Some are not so lucky.Ā It's fairly common to be left with disfiguring scars, especially on the face, from chickenpox (I know a few people with such marks on their cheeks or forehead).ĀĀ It's less common, though not unheard of to have more severe and lingering effects and occasionally even death.
The virus tends to be less severe in children than adults, there was once a custom of intentionally infecting children with the disease.ĀĀ So-called "pox parties" were held where children intentionally came into contact with others with chickenpox to get the disease when young.Ā Whether exposing children to the disease intentionally was ever a justifiable idea is debatable (most medical experts think it was always a bad idea), but it certainly is not any more.ĀĀ These days, there is a vaccine for chickenpox that is highly effective and avoids the discomfort, suffering, dangers and possible disfigurement of the disease.ĀĀ The vaccine is now part of the normal vaccine schedule and most children receive it.Ā Chickenpox is therefore far less common than it once was.
But what to do if you're a vaccine fearing idiot?Ā Since the antivax crowd seems to think that getting infections is a good thing and boosts the immune system, a pox party seems like it would be right up their ally.Ā The only problem is that the vaccine has reduced the number of cases of chickenpox enough to make it difficult to find a good pathogen host to infect your kid with.ĀĀ So what to do?ĀĀ Why not use social networking to find other like-minded morons around the world and swap spit by mail with them.
The most popular and widely reported on Facebook group for doing this appears to have been recently shut down, but that's unlikely to actually stop anyone in the long run.
I'm not even kidding…
'Pox parties': Coming to a mailbox near you?
This week, press reports emerged that some parents, hoping to avoid giving their kids the chickenpox vaccine, were arranging through Facebook to pay strangers to send them "[licked] lollipops, spit or other items" from kids with the illness.
The idea is to expose the kids to the virus to build immunity without having to get a shot.
It's a lousy strategy, doctors say.
Dr. Wilbert Mason, a professor of clinical pediatrics at USC's Keck School of Medicine and an infectious disease expert at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, said he was "dumbfounded" by the news. "I'm speechless, which will make for a very bad interview," he told Booster Shots. "How could people be so stupid?"
For starters, he said, sending chicken poxthrough the mail probably won't work, because the varicella virus needs cells to live in, and there probably would be very few cells in spit or on a used lollipop. "It's unlikely the virus would survive long enough," he said.
But more resilient types of infections — dangerous ones — could make it, including hepatitis B, group A strep, and staph germs.
Getting chickenpox "naturally" provides immunity that may be more long-lasting than immunity from the vaccinebut can cause complications. It's rare, but children with varicella can die if they develop pneumonia or encephalitis, Mason said.
Also, chickenpox blisters often get infected, and if they get infected with invasive group A strep, "it can kill [a child] in hours," he added.
"The most important risk factor for a child getting that infection is varicella," he said. "Since we've had the varicella vaccine, we've seen a decrease in children with invasive group A strep. For me, that's the most compelling reason to get it."
Thirty years ago, it was common for parents to bring their kids over to a sick friend's house to get exposed to chickenpox — maybe that's why today's "pox parties" seem like a good option to parents put off by vaccines. Mason likened the practice to playing roulette. "It was not a good idea then, and it's still not a good idea," he said.
A few are actually flaunting how stupid they are by telling fellow anti-vaxers about their activities.
Via WNEM, CBS 5:
The Facebook group is called "Find a Pox Party in Your Area." According to the group's page, it is geared toward "parents who want their children to obtain natural immunity for the chicken pox."
On the page, parents post where they live and ask if anyone with a child who has the chicken pox would be willing to send saliva, infected lollipops or clothing through the mail.
Parents also use the page to set up play dates with children who currently have chicken pox.
Medical experts say the most troubling part of this is parents are taking pathogens from complete strangers and deliberately infecting their children.
One concern is that they are sending the virus through the mail.
A Facebook post reads, "I got a Pox Package in mail just moments ago. I have two lollipops and a wet rag and spit." Another woman warns, "This is a federal offense to intentionally mail a contagion."
Another woman answers, "Tuck it inside a zip lock baggy and then put the baggy in the envelope Don't put anything identifying it as pox."
The video on the CBS-5 Website is definitely also worth watching.Ā It includes an interview with one of the parents who is shipping out the spit.
The chickenpox virus may or may not survive being mailed. In most cases, it probably won't. Still, for those who might not realize this: it is generally considered to be a bad idea to intentionally ingest the bodily fluids of random people you don't know and meet on the internet. (Granted some people do this for fun, but at least that involves some other benefits.) It's certainly not a good idea to do it with someone who is infected with a disease and may be carrying other infections. And if they do have any bacteria infections, putting the biological material on a sugary item and placing it in a warm envelope is not going to do anything to prevent that bacteria from multiplying.
In other words: what the hell are these people thinking???
Thankfully, the law seems to be on the side of reason on this issue. It is generally illegal to intentionally send infectious diseases by mail, except under special circumstances, such as properly isolated and prepared laboratory samples, shipped with appropriate bio-hazardous safeguards. Federal prosecutors have made it clear that they are willing to charge those who violate the law.

Chickenpox Lollipops By Mail? Illegal, Prosecutor Warns
Parents receiving chickenpox-infected lollipops through the mail are breaking the law, a federal prosecutor tells the Associated Press.
Spurred by reports aired in the past week about parents turning to Facebook to procure items said to be infected with chickenpox, U.S. Attorney Jerry Martin hopes to make it clear that trafficking in infectious diseases is illegal ├óŌé¼ŌĆØ as well as unsafe.
"If you are engaged in this type of behavior, you're not only potentially exposing innocent people to dangerous viruses and illnesses and diseases, you're also exposing yourself potentially to federal criminal prosecution," Martin told The Associated Press.
According to Martin, it is a federal crime to send diseases or viruses across state lines, whether through the U.S. Postal Service or private services like FedEx or UPS. The same laws that prohibit, say, the mailing the of anthrax also apply to infectious diseases: Offenders, if convicted, could face up to 20 years in prison.
The hubbub comes in the wake of the growing popularity of so-called chickenpox parties, organized by parents in order to expose their children to chickenpox and thereby strengthen their immune systems. As WSMV-TV in Nashville reported Thursday, parents without entree to such events are increasingly turning to internet dealers purporting to sell lollipops, among other items, infected with the chickenpox virus.
I fully expect to hear a lot of whining about how this is more proof that the government and judicial system are firmly in the pocket of the big evil corporations and how they are stopping parents from exercising their rights to do things the "natural" way. The antivaccine groups always seem to have had a persecution complex. Still, I hope that this warning will be enough to stop most from engaging in this illegal, dangerous and disgusting practice, though I'm sure it won't stop them all.
I suppose the next thing will be swapping contaminated feces to infect children with polio in order to get a "natural" immunity.

Blue Glass Passage
Seattle City Hall
600 5th Avenue
Fleets and Facilities 1% for Art
Fully integrated into the building, Blue Glass Passage by James Carpenter of New York hovers as a walkway that spans the lobby, joining the office block to the north with the City Council Chamber to the south. Blue laminated structural glass panels form a 60-foot-long bridge deck supported by a steel beam and suspended from steel cables. The east wall of the passage and the guardrail on the west side are transparent laminated glass. The guardrail incorporates generous wood leaning plates and footrests, encouraging the viewer to stop and contemplate the western view, as well as providing opportunities for conversations and interactions to occur along the walkway.
Carpenter writes: "The artwork reinforces the placement of City Hall high on the hill and the views it provides of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains beyond. The floor of the bridge is blue glass, conceptually making the connection as a transposed slice of water. This bar of captured light, floating through the lobby, silhouettes and presents the activities and movements of the people within the building to the city passersby below."

HAZARD – More than 150 employees with Perry County Coal Corporation are now unemployed following the company's latest round of job cuts this week.
Perry County Coal announced its latest workforce reduction of 156 employees on Friday, which amounts to 29 percent of the total workforce in the company's Hazard location. The layoffs were made to match expected coal sales for 2013, according to a company statement, which noted "depressed market conditions" as a reason for the reductions.
"These reductions were due to the weakening in the coal market, caused by low natural gas prices and the poor economy," the company said in its statement. "This was a difficult decision, and we hope these reductions are temporary. If the market recovers, we hope to reinstate these employees in the future. Perry County Coal's three underground mines will continue to operate with reduced staffing."
Friday's announcement compounds an already alarming employment situation for some. Here in Perry County, where several coal jobs had already been cut, unemployment has hovered near 13 percent for several months.

Arizona Wildcats
King of the court: Lyons' clutch shot cements his role as a Wildcat
This story is courtesy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.
Was it pretty? No. Convincing? Not a chance. No matter how it happened, though, Arizona's win over No. 5 Florida marks the legitimacy of the Wildcats, and even more, the arrival of Mark Lyons.
With the clock winding down in Arizona's 65-64 win against the Gators, and the UA trailing by one, Lyons took UF's Patric Young off the dribble, blazed past him and softly kissed the ball of the glass for the game-winning shot. It hadn't been a great game for Lyons, especially in his point guard role � he only recorded two assists on the night and had three turnovers. He struggled early against Florida's full court press and made a couple ugly passes throughout the game.
But when the game was on the line the ball was placed in his hands, and he delivered.
"We believe in a lot of guys on this team, but nobody believes in Mark Lyons more than me," head coach Sean Miller said. "I've seen him since he's been in tenth grade and some guys are wired for the big stage, the big moment and that big shot he wants to take it.
"No question, when he drove I knew something good was going to happen."
The jury is still out on Lyons as a point guard. The transition from the two-guard to the primary ball handler has been rocky at best � he has two more turnovers than assists through his first eight games in the role (20 assists compared to 22). And when his shot doesn't fall, like his 0-for-7 night against Southern Miss, he almost disappears out on the court.
Still, when UF's Kenny Boynton missed the front end of a one-and-one, the keys were handed over to Lyons and he took it home. He might be a new face on the court and playing in a position out of his comfort zone, but he's already taken the role as the go-to guy with the game on the line.
Senior Solomon Hill is the designated leader of the team, and made several crucial plays in the waning minutes of the game. Sophomore Nick Johnson clearly lacks the experience of the two seniors, but he's been the Wildcats' most consistent player throughout the start of the season.
But the ball was still deferred to Lyons. The decision was the right one, as he drove the ball straight into the heart of a great Florida defense and hit the second-most important shot of his life, according to Lyons. That in itself shows the confidence he has and the team has in him.
Lyons said the shot against Florida falls second to a game-tying shot he hit for Xavier last season on the road at then-No. 19 Vanderbilt. His jumper with 6.5 seconds remaining sent the game into overtime.
"It kind of put me on a different stage and my confidence went up from there," Lyons said.
In the extra period, Xavier's other talented guard Tu Holloway took over, scoring 10 points in overtime and the Musketeers went on to win a statement game. Lyons said he looks to Holloway's big play ability for inspiration in the clutch and, at least against Florida, it worked.
After the game Miller said it's unfair to judge Lyons' performance at point guard through eight games since he's had to adjust to playing an entirely different position on a whole new team. Something that's easing the transition, though, is a relationship similar to that of Lyons and Holloway in Xavier � only this time around the roles are reversed.
Now Lyons is the grizzled veteran at the point while a younger combo guard, Johnson, is developing next to him as a complementary player. Miller feels that the Xavier transfer is learning each and every game how to play in his new role, but the emergence of Johnson is also helping out the cause.
"I've been a confident guy since I stepped in the door (at Tucson) because of guys like (Hill and Johnson)," Lyons said. "They give me the confidence and I feed off them. They made great plays and I just finished the game for us."
The stats back it up as well. Johnson leads the team with 29 assists, and only has 12 turnovers on the season. As the end of the game proved, though, with the game on the line the ball was trusted to Lyons and he came through.
Lyons might not be the perfect point guard, but he's already established he can be the answer. It didn't take long for Lyons to assert himself as a leader on the team � that happened almost the moment he walked in the door, according to his teammates. Now his toughness and unrelenting confidence have rubbed off onto the young Wildcats roster.

Turbo Brushes
A damp cloth and carpet shampoo may not always suffice to remove stubborn stains from your carpet or upholstery. Most of the top branded vacuum cleaners including Bissell have an accessory to clean the stains on the carpet/upholstery. It's called turbo brush.
Tips to use Bissell Turbo Brush to clean carpets and upholstery
•Fill the tank with a good shampoo and hot water up to the "Water" line. Replace the fill cap, turn the fill tank so that cap is facing the bottom and gently slide it into the place on the Bissell Little Green vacuum.
•Attach the turbo brush to the hose and plug the vacuum to a switch point. Switch On the red heater button and wait for 20-30 seconds for the heater light to illuminate. It indicates that the heater is on.
•Release the spray trigger to spray out the non-heated water before positioning the turbo brush above the soiled area. Press the spray trigger again over the soiled surface so that now it sprays the soap solution.
•Activate the turbo brush and gently scrub the soiled area. Set the turbo brush to "Suction" mode to remove the stains. Once you have removed the stains, switch of the vacuum cleaner before removing the turbo brush.
It is a simple procedure and almost all brands of vacuum cleaners follow the similar technique for using the hand held turbo brush. You can choose from a wide range of vacuum cleaners that are available at GoVacuum.com. This is a wonderful online shopping mall which deals only with top class vacuum cleaners both commercial and domestic and their accessories. Here you have the option of comparing the prices and features of a plethora of vacuum cleaners and choose the one that suits your cleaning needs.

Deal reached on risk assessments of drug usersBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | May 09,2014MONTPELIER A bill aimed at curbing heroin and opiate abuse by diverting low-level offenders to treatment programs rather than jail is on track to become law after House and Senate negotiators reached accord Thursday afternoon.
The legislation will provide new tools to courts and prosecutors to assess the risks and needs of defendants. It calls for county prosecutors to offer both pretrial screening and treatment programs to suspects before they are arraigned, when they are considered most likely to be willing to address their addiction.
Additional risk assessment tools are intended to help judges and prosecutors gather more information about each defendant when trying to determine if bail is warranted.
The Senate Judiciary Committee began working on the bill in January immediately after Gov. Peter Shumlin used nearly his entire State of the State address to highlight what he called a growing opiate and heroin problem. The governor declared a full-blown heroin crisis in Vermont, prompting national headlines and conversation about heroin use in Vermont and across the country.
The House and Senate passed slightly different versions of the bill, leading to the negotiations this week. The Senate included tough new crimes and penalites for drug trafficking lowering the threshold for heroin possession to classify as trafficking and burglary of an occupied dwelling, which the House removed.
The House, meanwhile, passed its version with a later implementation date, which senators said was too slow when the state faces a heroin crisis.
Those differences were resolved Thursday. The House accepted language that creates longer prison terms for people caught bringing heroin into the state to sell. They did raise to 1 gram the amount of heroin that qualifies for the enhanced crime, however.
Were really wanting to send a strong message that trafficking drugs into the state is a serious, serious issue, House Judiciary Committee Chairman William Lippert told his colleagues in the House.
The Senate, meanwhile, will accept an implementation date of October 2015, rather than April, as it passed in its version. The House had been looking to put it off until Jan. 1, 2016.
The Senate accepted the compromise launch date after Robert Sand, senior policy and legal adviser for the Vermont Department of Public Safety, told negotiators the extra months would lead to a better outcome with comparable services in each county.
Some of those counties are better positioned right now to get going because those relationships exist. If you build in more time no county will have an excuse to say, Were not ready yet, Sand said. I do think if you are looking at uniform rollout in all 14 counties, having the time for those relations to develop will help.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Sears, D-Bennington, said the Senate wants to ensure that similar services are available statewide. By giving them a little extra time to roll it out we can ensure that every county will have similar types of services, he said.
Lippert, a Democrat from Hinesburg, said the legislation a very significant criminal justice initiative has been in the works for several years. He said Shumlin deserves tremendous credit for acknowledging the heroin scourge in Vermont and elsewhere as a public health issue.
The idea that were going to be able to add substantial needs assessment and screening pre-charge and pre-trial offers the opportunity to move people into treatment and taking them out of the cycle of repeat criminal offenses, Lippert said. Theres no guarantee, of course, but I think the courts are going to welcome this information and use it to good effect.

5x7 watercolor on yupo This is my first post, Fred has been instructing me.
Hello Ruthie and WELCOME! I see you are having fun with the YUPO paper too. Nice WC of the plant ~ did you blow air on it to make the long lines?? Very nice. Hope we see more.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
So here is my still a WIP clay Turtle/tortoise. He is a bit odd but if he survive the first firing may look okay once he is glazed!!! Still needs work.
Jen C & C's always welcome
WOW Jen, Sculpting is fun and you have done an excellent job with the turtle, I'm still into the Cosmos, it lets your imagination take control of your creative thoughts instead of what you see, I don't know if that makes any sense but anyway

Fred, these are so much fun and I really like the last one. You need to feature all of the YOPU paintings in one show. they would be really impressive.
Thank You Fred for your good words. Here is the turtle finished . I will look at him again but I think he is ready to dried and fired. we will see if he survives that!
Fred great work on the Cosmo.
Jenn the turtle is fabulous. His expression is great and all the texture is wonderful. Fingers crossed on the fire.
C&Cs always welcome
Jen ~ Good job on the turtle. About how big is it? I have a turtle that came from Arizona that I drag out every Spring & sit next to the fountain. After 25 years, it lost a foot :( . Will your turtle be living in the garden?
Karen and Nealey thanks. I am not sure of the exact size but approx. 9 inches long by about 6 inches wide and 4 inches high if you include his head. That is just a guess I will measure when I go to the studio. I started a mushroom and will add my "changed" version of the stone angel!
JEN, no need for exact measurements! It looked huge! I was just thinking how heavy it would be, that's all.
He is hollow. I build my creations around a ball of newspaper. I then either take it out when it's dry or let it burn off in the kiln. The legs are hollowed out and his neck has a thin stick through it which will also burn out. The aim is to make sure the clay is no thicker than 1/4 to 1/2" thick. The hot gasses need a place to go so if there are air holes it won't break the clay as it is fired. At least that is the hope. I try and make sure there are no air pockets too or the same thing will happen! He is heavy at the moment because he is wet.
By the way Nealey if you get some silicone adhesive you can glue your turtle's leg back on . Silicone will expand and contract so works better outside. Let it cure for about 24 hours. We found it works quit well. You will see the join but it should stay on. Make sure both ends you glue are clean and dry. I also spray my outside critters with a couple of coats of clear acrylic. I leave them out year round and they do fine but we did bring the ones under the roof in this year as we were worried the ice and huge icicles would hurt them. I left the ones around the mail box and they did fine.
Claudia looks lick you have taken on a big project painting you niece and her hen. Must be the reason your doing this in egg tempera. Good thinking. I will be waiting on the finished product.
Jen your turtle is great. have you figured how you are going to glaze it? I have been working on another face jug but it got too dry so it is wrapped up in a wet towel
C and C always welcomed
Hi, Gerri, thanks. I am not sure what glazes I will use but probably bright un turtle like colours! Bright and fun. He has to get through his first firing yet!
Hello Jen,
haven't commented before on your claywork because I have had little time to spare...more work being done in the house.
Is it terracotta clay, When it is leather hard do you work on the detail or is it all done when it is 'wet'
I woild have waited a week at least to make sure it was dry. What capacity is your kiln,,,do you have to wait for other's work to fill it before firing?
I must be pedantic now to point out (not to you of course)...it isn't sculpture it is modelling when working with clay. I have taught both so I like using the correct terms not to criticise anyone..
I prefer the turtle to the gnome by the way.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
I prefer the turtle to the gnome by the way.
I would find it hard to choose.

Last weekend, I was invited to speak and demo my raw foods at the Farm Sanctuary Hoe Down annual celebration in Watkins Glen, NY. It was a huge honor to be included in the speaker lineup with founder Gene Baur and T. Colin Campbell, author of the China Study. The Hoe Down was one of the best organized events I've attended.
Volunteers helped me prepare pies for over 120 people in about 30 minutes just before my presentation. We chose the manual 'food processor' style of hand mixing dates with almonds. Good forearm exercise.
Strawberry Kream Pie, from Ani's Raw Food Essentials. Made with dates, almonds, cashews, vanilla, and strawberries. Simple and delicious.

It's so much fun to sign books after a raw food demo and talk. I love having this opportunity to connect with other like minded folks in the community.
Later, I got to visit the animals out on the other part of the 200 acre farm. This guy was 3,000 pounds big, what a cutie pie!
Amazing to stand in the pasture with a flock of sheep as the sun was setting. It was so peaceful. Actually, I rested really well on the farm every night.
That evening was the Barn Dance where we line-danced first, then it broke out into a full on night club with a packed dance floor until after 1am. Everyone had tons of energy and was jumping up and down, especially Gene Baur, who was wringing sweat out of his t-shirt! My hair was soaked in sweat too. I noticed no one stunk of body oder, and people's sweat didn't gross me out as it usually does. That's a huge plus for eating clean, vegan, and raw.
I realized this was my 20th year reunion from Cornell, and I hadn't been back to Ithaca since I graduated in 1990 (except returning briefly for my brother Max's graduation in 1993). So, it was a double treat to visit Ithaca and Farm Sanctuary. I'm looking forward to the next Hoe Down in California, and visiting New York's Farm Sanctuary again soon.

Police saw no reason for Pak's arrest before Maine slayingsJanuary 03,2013By David Hench
Portland Press Herald
Police said this week that there was no legal reason to arrest James Pak before two Biddeford teenagers who were his tenants were shot to death in a confrontation with him on Saturday night.
Experts, meanwhile, said it would be unusual for police to ask about the presence of guns during a typical landlord-tenant dispute, but appropriate if someone threatened to shoot another person.
Pak, described in documents as 67 or 74 years old, is being held without bail in the York County Jail on two charges of murder in the shooting deaths of Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18, on Saturday night.
Pak also is accused of shooting Thompson's mother, Susan Johnson, 44, who survived.
Police were first called to 17 Sokokis Road, in a neighborhood of single-family homes on the outskirts of the city, when Thompson reported that Pak was yelling and threatening him and banging on the door of the apartment attached to Pak's home.
Officer Edward Dexter responded, and after 32 minutes told the dispatcher, "This was a civil issue and the caller did not feel threatened at any time," according to a summary of radio communications provided by Biddeford police.
That appears to be at odds with a state police affidavit in support of Pak's arrest on murder charges. In that affidavit, police say: "Thompson told Officer Dexter that Pak claimed he was going to shoot them and made a hand motion in front of them."
The affidavit does not elaborate on what Pak said, but does say that Johnson didn't believe Pak would hurt them, even when he came into the apartment a few minutes later with a handgun.
The tenants' response to Pak's statements is essential to whether Pak could have been charged with criminal threatening before the shooting.
State law says that a person commits criminal threatening, a misdemeanor, "if he intentionally or knowingly places another person in fear of imminent bodily injury."
If the target of the threat does not fear imminent injury, there is no crime, according to the law.
"Officers would have arrested Pak if the elements of the crime were met, period," Biddeford Deputy Police Chief JoAnne Fisk said Wednesday.
Criminal threatening is a misdemeanor charge and, for someone with no criminal record, usually results in very low bail.
Two hours after Pak's arrest Saturday, his blood alcohol content was 0.15 percent, almost twice the legal limit to drive.
But police would not characterize Pak's demeanor or level of intoxication or what he said to police after Thompson's initial call around 6:15 p.m., when Pak and the tenants were told by officers to keep away from each other.
Pak was arrested three hours after the shootings, which occurred shortly before 7 p.m., and it's not clear whether he drank before the deadly encounter.
Biddeford police referred further questions about the initial encounter between Pak and his tenants to the state police, who are investigating the homicide.
Fisk would not release transcripts of the 911 tape, referring that request to state police because of the ongoing investigation.
Policing experts said it can be difficult to foresee when a verbal altercation will turn violent, though when someone threatens to shoot a person, closer scrutiny is needed to determine whether the threat is legitimate.
Police are often called for landlord-tenant disputes over issues like rent and parking, said William Baker, a Westbrook official who was the city's police chief and served as commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety.
The vast majority are civil disputes that require no police action, Baker said.
"I think this result is extremely unusual and, in my view, not foreseeable," Baker said.
The decision to arrest someone cannot be made lightly or in anticipation of a crime, said John Rogers, executive director of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.
Cadets at the academy learn that officers need probable cause to believe that someone has committed a crime before the person can be taken to jail.
Experts said Wednesday that it would be unusual for officers to ask about access to guns in a typical verbal dispute, but the question would not be out of place if one person had threatened to shoot another.
"If someone says, 'I ought to blow your head off,' it's legitimate to ask 'Did they have the means to do that?' " said William McClaran, a former Portland police chief who is now a professor of law enforcement at Southern Maine Community College.
"You have to react to what you hear, what you're told, and demeanor" in gauging the seriousness of a threat, McClaran said.
Police had been called to 17 Sokokis Road twice in the past year.
Most recently, Pak called on Dec. 10 to speak with an officer about the procedure for an eviction, according to the dispatch log.
The log does not elaborate on what information Pak sought or what issues led him to that inquiry.
Police have said that at least part of the dispute Saturday related to rent.
In July, police were called by a former tenant who complained that Pak had moved some of their property out of the apartment and into the garage.
Police also were called in February to Robert Lemelin's nearby house for a report that Pak had left a message on Lemelin's answering machine threatening to "hunt" him down.
The dispute stemmed from work that Lemelin's teenage son had done, for which Pak thought he was overcharged.
Pak said he was angry because Lemelin had called him names when he demanded money back.
Police investigated the complaint and, according to their report, determined: "This situation is not a crime at this time. ... The case should be considered closed unless further problems develop."MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

It's official – Apple's new iPhone 5 is available for pre-order this Friday, 14 September 2012. Pricing will start at $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for 32GB, and $399 for a 64GB iPhone 5 – as long as a you sign a new, two-year contract. If you purchase an iPhone 5 off contract, a 16GB model will cost you $649, the 32GB model $749, and $849 for the 64GB iPhone 5 (according to AT&T's website.)
Of course, Apple made several changes – er, "improvements" – with the iPhone 5. Many of these changes will impact the accessories available for current iPhone owners, because iPhone 4 and 4S add-ons won't work with iPhone 5. The new "Lightning" dock connector is smaller than the current version found on iPhones, which means that all iPhone owners will need to either buy an adapter for existing accessories – which could range in cost from $19 to $39 – or replace their current car chargers ($10+), home stereo docks ($100+), and AV adapters ($30+) – all of which could quickly add up in cost.
The iPhone 5 is also longer yet thinner – which many critics of Apple say is notably better, as it is designed to fit better in the palm of your hand. Of course, just looking at someone holding an iPhone is enough to make you squirm – a "naked" iPhone can easily shatter if dropped (and let's face it – any phone can be easily dropped, and often). While the iPhone is beautiful, it needs a case to protect your investment. With the iPhone 5′s new dimensions, you're going to need a new case, too. And since the battery life of the iPhone 5 actually isn't that much better than its predecessors (you're still going to get about an average about 8 hours of it every day) you'll like need a battery pack if you don't have the ability to constantly charge your new iPhone. This cost alone can add anywhere between $50 to $90 to purchasing an iPhone 5.
For those who use their iPhones while exercising, those new iPhone 5 dimensions will require new accessories like a waterproof case for kayaking or an armband for use when running. These costs can add up too – a waterproof case currently costs around $60, while armbands currently range between $10 and $50.
For those eligible for an upgrade or able to sign a new 2 year contract for even the 16GB iPhone 5, the additional costs of replacing all your accessories that worked with the iPhone 4 or 4S – but won't work with the iPhone 5 – can easily add an extra $100 – $200 to your purchase of an iPhone 5.
Let's break that down in terms of total cost with the cheapest version of each accessory:
iPhone 5: $199 (base 16GB unit with contract)
Case: $50
Car Charger: $10
Stereo Dock: $100
Armband: $10
Minimum Total Cost: $369
Of course, this is just the minimum cost – adding these necessary accessories to an off-contract iPhone 5 could end up costing you over $1,000. And as many of these accessories aren't even available yet – though essential for some people (like a battery case is for me), I may just wait the hype out until I can actually replace all the accessories I use daily, so I can get the same experience from an iPhone 5 that I currently get from my iPhone 4.

"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."
"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"I used this card as a New Year's card. The design professional adjusted the writing ever to slightly to fully enhance the details of my photo. Many compliments from friends on completed card, nice stock, quality coloring."
"The card was great quality and adapted to our photo brilliantly. I liked that it added a touch of holiday snow and had different options for greeting."
"This turned out really beautiful and was incredibly easy to create. I went with the unique cut out design and the blue/green coloring as it matched family pictures we had taken earlier in the year. I also was grateful for the option to write a message on the back, as it allowed me to include an update for family and friends on our Christmas card. Overall, I was extremely happy with the quality of the card - just wished it wasn't quite so expensive!"

While there's no official extension for Google Music and not even an app in the Chrome Web Store, you can install a really cool third-party extension called "Better Music Beta". The extension adds a button that shows information about the currently playing song, lets you pause the song, go to the next song, add a thumbs up or a thumbs down. There's also a notification that shows up every time the song changes.
My favorite feature is the Last.fm integration: if you enable it, Better Music Beta scrobbles your songs and lets you publicly show that you love a song by clicking the "heart" icon.
The downside is that you still have to open Google Music in a tab, since the music stops playing if you close the tab. Converting the extension into a "background app" would solve this problem.
Google Music requires an invitation and it's supposed to be US-only, but it works even if you're not in the US. Google only checks your location when you request an invitation and you can always use a US proxy for this one-time action. Another interesting thing is that, even though Google Music lists Flash as a requirement, the service works pretty well on an iPad.

Empire Battle Tested has now improved the extremely popular Apex paintball barrel with it's 2nd edition! The APEX2 Barrel System has again redefined how paintball is played. The new stealth look of the APEX2 Barrel will provide you with unmatched distance and accuracy enabling you to hit targets that you thought were unhittable before. The adjustable ramp switch now comes with 9 levels of control to customize your level of curve and spin, from no spin to unbelievable. The APEX2 also allows you to disassemble the barrel without tools for easy maintenance.
The APEX2 like the original APEX barrel can still produce long ball distance shots, shots that "drop down from the heavens", left and right curve balls, and with its re-designed internal section allow for longer- flatter trajectory shots with the twist of the barrel. Opponents can run but can't hide with the new APEX2 from Empire Battle Tested.
