Influenza Updates
About Seasonal Influenza (Flu)
Influenza, also known as the flu, is a contagious disease caused by the influenza virus. It attacks the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs) of humans. The flu is different from a cold or other respiratory infection (bronchitis).
Symptoms of Influenza (Flu)
Influenza comes on suddenly and may include the following symptoms: fever, headache, extreme fatigue (tiredness), sore throat, dry cough, stuffy nose, body aches. These are known as "flu-like" symptoms. Vomiting and diarrhea are NOT typical symptoms of influenza.
How Influenza Spreads
Influenza spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks and sends the flu virus into the air, and other people inhale the virus. Influenza can also spread when a person touches a surface that has the flu virus on it, such as a door knob, telephone receiver, computer keyboard, etc., Influenza can also spread when a person touches a surface that has the flu virus on it, such as a door knob, telephone receiver, computer keyboard, etc. and then touches the nose or eyes.
People infected with the influenza virus can spread the flu starting about one day before they feel sick, and adults can continue to pass the virus for 3 to 7 days after symptoms start. Children can pass the virus for longer than 7 days.
Management of Students or Faculty Exposed to Influenza
- Watch for fever (take temperature once a day) and respiratory symptoms for 2-3 days following exposure.
- Symptomatic students or faculty should not go to school or work. The influenza virus is highly contagious and is responsible for large outbreaks resulting in cancellation of classes and school closures.
- If symptoms develop, rest and drink plenty of liquids. Avoid alcohol and tobacco. Take medications to relieve the symptoms of flu, but avoid aspirin.
- If symptoms worsen rather than lessen, contact your personal physician or the Family Medicine Center (996-2901) and tell them you are worried that you have influenza.
Infection Control Recommendations
- Get your influenza vaccine! It's safe and effective.
- Student or faculty member should stay home: no work, school, day care, public areas.
- Cover the mouth and nose with tissue when coughing or sneezing and wash hands with soap and friction rub or use waterless hand hygiene products every time you touch your nose or mouth.
- Household/dormitory contacts: hand washing or waterless hand hygiene products (gloves for fluids if possible).
- Routine cleaning with soap and hot water. Use household disinfectants (Lysol© or 1:100 diluted bleach) for environmental surfaces.
- Household/dormitory waste (e.g. body fluids, tissues, gloves) may be discarded as normal waste.
Note: if you live in a dormitory, please report your illness to the residence hall director.

The first phase of the Camping Michaels visioning process was open discussions with summer camp leaders to collect their needs, ideas, and perspectives regarding the property. The second phase was an online survey, opening in October 2010 and closing in February 2011, and hosted by the Ku-Ni-Eh Lodge of the Order of the Arrow. The survey was promoted through a button on the front page of the council website, flyers distributed at events, district roundtable meetings, and council events, and through messages sent to district email distribution lists.
The following is a high-level summary of the participants and the data gathered, intended as a prelude to the third phase of the visioning process – the Camp Michaels Visioning Committee. You can also download the full Camp Michaels Visioining Survey and Analysis:
A total of 292 unique participants completed the survey. Participation was open to all Scouts, leaders, parents, and the general public. Personal information was optional, however, each question's results could be matched to a participant to better analyze responses based on the demographic questions.
The participants of the survey showed the following diverse qualities:
The first visioning process analysis revealed that nearly 25% of council camp usage (excluding summer camp programs) was at Camp Michaels. The survey asked questions to reveal the type and frequency of usage from groups using Camp Michaels.
A selection of possible program and facility elements and ideas was presented to each Scouting program level (Boy Scouting, Cub Scouting, and Venturing). The list of ideas were chosen based on age-appropriate guidelines, popularity in Scouting, and input from the summer camp leader meetings. The following is a summary of the most popular programs (multiple programs could be selected from the list):
The next set of questions was related to facility ideas and needs. A selection of potential facilities were presented, chosen based on past requests, commonality of facilities at modern Scout camps, and input from the summer camp leader meetings. The following is a summary of the most popular facilities (multiple facilities could be selected from the list):
The survey results will be a solid source of input for the next phase in the visioning process. The variety and diversity of participants covers the major categories of the Scouting program well, including ages, location, Scouting experience, and program levels. No single group is over-represented, and the more thorough analysis of the data will reveal the common responses among differing markets (parents of current Scouts, Scouting veterans on the unit level, etc.).
The following conclusions can be gathered from the responses:

Midwest Living Review
Parking and making the steep climb up the popular 1870 Cana Island Lighthouse can require some patience, but this is one of the best places to see the beauty of Lake Michigan's Door County shoreline. Explore the two floors of historic displays as you await your turn to climb the 97 steps. Exhibits incorporate the science of prisms, a Fresnel lens that magnifies light until it can be seen from 18 miles away, the dangers of Great Lakes travel, and the challenges lighthouse keepers faced in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Though the lighthouse's history is rich, some visitors just want to take in the view from one of Door County's prettiest spots on the coast. Walk along the rock-ledge shore for great photo ops of the 89-foot lighthouse, or stack stones and leave a little statue behind (it's tradition).
More than 40,000 visitors tour Cana Island Lighthouse annually, open daily between May and October from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Adult admission is $10; $7 for children ages 5 to 17. The 8.7-acre island is currently undergoing a multiphase renovation for lighthouse visitors; planned improvements include new rustic restrooms, increased parking space and a new visitors center.

Gilliam Debuts Ledger's Last Performance at CannesMonday, May 25th, 2009
Terry Gilliam poses during the photocall of the movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," presented out of competition at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2009.
Photograph by: VALERY HACHE, AFP/Getty Images
The spirit of Heath Ledger was in the air Friday as the world's press gathered to see his final film, a fantasy called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Ledger died in January, 2008, halfway into making the film; director Terry Gilliam completed it by getting three other actors – Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell – to play Ledger's character in separate sequences.
"I didn't see how we could finish the film," Gilliam recalled. "He did half the role." But the people involved in Imaginarium told him he couldn't be "a lazy bastard" and give up. Gilliam said he thought it would not have been respectful to get just one actor to take over the role, so he got three of them – "people who know and love Heath" – to play scenes. Depp, Law and Farrell all donated their salaries to a fund for Matilda, Ledger's daughter.
"They came to the rescue of this thing," Gilliam said. "To me, they're the real heroes."
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (which is a Canadian co-production) received enthusiastic applause after Friday's press screening, and several journalists expressed their fondness for it at a post-screening press conference, but in fact, it is a mess: whimsy gone wrong, with a silly storyline scattered across a mishmash of clockwork production design that is garish and fake-looking as often as it is ingenious. The story concerns the owner of a travelling show (played by Christopher Plummer) who years earlier made a pact with the devil (Tom Waits) that could mean his teenage daughter is given over to Mr. Nick, as he's called. People go in and out of a magic mirror where they meet the events of their imagination, presented as clunky fantasy; Ledger plays Tony, a disreputable businessman discovered hanging by his neck under a bridge and who is saved and added to the circus. It's a macabre entrance under the circumstances.
Gilliam said that Tony was named after former British prime minister Tony Blair, "and I couldn't imagine a more fitting end for that character than to be hanging from a bridge."
The director, who was born in America but is now a British citizen, added, "I think Tony believes everything that comes out of his mouth, even though he's never thought of it until the moment he said it."
Gilliam is a highly inventive director – he was the animator for the Monty Python troupe and his visionary ideas for movies like Brazil and 12 Monkeys show a unique visual sense – and he said the ideas for Imaginarium came from everything he has done before. Together with Charles McKeown, who co-wrote Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, they made what he called "a compendium of all the things I was interested in, from Python cartooning to 12 Monkeys."
Gilliam is also an unlucky one: he has been trying for years to make a movie about Don Quixote, and his movie about that movie, called Lost in La Mancha, is a fascinating account of things going wrong in a project, from on-set mishaps to a serious injury to his leading actor.
In the case of Imaginarium, the death of the leading man in the middle of shooting the movie brought the cast and crew closer together.
Gilliam said that as painful as it was, "it was not as bad as some other situations I've been involved in," when people have tried to interfere with his movies.
"What was important to me was how to get Heath's performances up there, alive and well," Gilliam said. "Everybody was just going to make sure there was no void left when Heath left us."
In the film, there are three sequences when Tony, the Ledger character, goes through Dr. Parnassus' magic mirror: Gilliam uses each of the three new actors in those scenes and although there appear to be some references to the Ledger tragedy – people talking about staying forever young, for instance, or a reference to "a tale of unforeseen death" – Gilliam said those were all part of the original script.
French producer Samuel Hadida called Imaginarium a case of Gilliam going back to his fantasy roots with a bigger budget.
For his next project, he's going back again: he said he's going to take another crack at Don Quixote. Shooting is scheduled to start next spring.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Okaloosa County Administrator Jim Curry and County Attorney John Dowd still had their jobs on Wednesday.
Curry remained employed despite tendering his resignation at Tuesday night's county commission meeting. Dowd held onto his post despite Commissioner Kelly Windes' attempt to fire him.
The tension-filled, seven-hour meeting was the latest example of county officials seeking to satisfy critics calling for accountability in the wake of the Mark Bellinger fraud scandal.
The board voted unanimously to reject Curry's resignation, which was offered just before 9 p.m. during a discussion about the county's response to the scandal.
"The theft of public funds to purchase a house, a car and other items was beyond comprehension," Curry said in a prepared statement. "In retrospect, perhaps I should have been better prepared for such, especially after so many other criminal revelations involving other constitutional offices."
He said he regretted not recognizing the circumstances under which the Tourist Development Council was operating and the conditions "that enabled a crook to steal from the public."
"I also was at times a part of the approval process that allowed these transactions to take place, and I do not take that responsibility lightly," Curry said. "I regret that perhaps I should have recognized and acted earlier to prevent the crimes that Mark Bellinger perpetrated upon our community."
All five commissioners voiced support for Curry and asked him to stay at his post for another 60 days. He already is scheduled to retire sometime between May and October.
Commissioner Wayne Harris said Curry and the TDC members are "not guilty of anything other than being hoodwinked by a criminal."
"I think it's appalling that people are asking for resignations," Harris said. "Accepting his resignation at this time would be a travesty, and I won't accept it."
Dowd did not have the same across-the-board support. His contract came under fire a few minutes before the meeting adjourned at 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Windes told the board he had serious concerns about Dowd continuing as the county's attorney in the wake of the TDC scandal. He said Dowd's oversight and legal advice on various department matters, contracts and leases have fallen short.
"I believe the people would be best served by starting over with a new face and reset of our legal representation," he said.
Windes' comments echoed those of state Rep. Matt Gaetz and Senate President Don Gaetz, who have criticized county officials for keeping the county attorney and not having already fired employees who approved Bellinger's questionable purchases.
Windes said "new faces, time and accountability … will make Okaloosa proud again."
"So having said that, Mr. Dowd, do you have any interest in following Mr. Curry's lead and stepping down?" Windes asked.
"No sir," Dowd answered.
He declined to comment further during the meeting.
Windes then pushed for the board to provide Dowd with his contract's required 90-day notice of termination, but that proposal was voted down 3-2.
Windes and Commissioner Dave Parisot voted to fire Dowd. Harris, Commission Chairman Don Amunds and Commissioner Nathan Boyles were opposed.
Parisot said he supported firing Dowd for reasons unrelated to the TDC scandal. He said he's had concerns about the quality of some of the legal work Dowd has provided the county, specifically contracts that have required major changes.
Harris disagreed, and reminded Parisot that he isn't a lawyer.
"With the exception of one commissioner up here, I didn't know we all had law degrees and know the peculiarities of contracts and legal issues," Harris quipped.
Sounding frustrated, Windes interrupted, "C'mon, Wayne, this is common sense."
"No, no, I don't agree with you at all," Harris fired back.
"Well, you can vote against me," Windes said.
"Well, I intend to," Harris answered.
"That's fine," Windes said.
Harris argued that Dowd has done "a very good job" and "has always been there with the right answers."
Boyles prefaced his vote with support for Dowd, adding that he planned to meet with Dowd to discuss his work for the county.
"I'm not going to vote to terminate John Dowd tonight," Boyles said. "It's 15 minutes to 1 a.m., and we've been at this for seven hours."
He said Okaloosa County has changed tremendously since Dowd took his job and the county is "no longer a one-attorney county."
Boyles said the county must look at restructuring its legal representation in the near future.

Travis Browne Set to Meet Fabricio Werdum on April 19
All Apologies if this news has been previously posted. I'm currently on the job search and can't keep track of breaking MMA news like I used to be.The UFC® is bringing heavyweight action to Orlando! Second-ranked Fabricio Werdum returns to the Octagon® to battle third-ranked Travis Browne in a bout that will likely determine the next challenger to champion Cain Velasquezs crown.
Currently on a three-fight win streak that includes victories over fellow Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace and former heavyweight champion Minotauro Nogueira, Fedor Emelianenko, and Roy Nelson, Fabricio Werdum (17-5-1, fighting out of Los Angeles, Calif.) looks to cap off his streak with a decisive win over a surging Browne. After soundly defeating Gabriel Gonzaga, Alistair Overeem, and Josh Barnett, all via first-round knockout, Travis Browne (16-1-1, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) brings his 6-foot-7 frame and unorthodox style into a high stakes bout where a win could mean a shot at the UFC title.
In addition, former Strikeforce womens bantamweight champion and second-ranked Miesha Tate (13-5, fighting out of Yakima, Wash.) faces the heavy-handed U.S Marine and seventh-ranked Liz Carmouche (8-4, fighting out of San Diego, Calif.) in a critical bout in the division.
Also on the main card, fan-favorite No. 8 Donald Cowboy Cerrone (22-6, fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.) battles explosive lightweight No.11Edson Barboza (13-1, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) in an early favorite for Fight of the Night honors, while No. 13 ranked Brad Tavares (12-2, fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.), winner of five straight, takes on 2000 Olympic freestyle wrestling silver medalist and 14th-ranked Yoel Romero (7-1, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla. by way of Pinar del Rio, Cuba) in a middleweight bout.
The card also features two additional exciting lightweight bouts when the streaking No. 6 Rafael dos Anjos (20-6, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) meets the undefeated seventh-ranked Khabib Nurmagomedov (21-0, fighting out of Dagestan, Russia) and South Floridas Jorge Masvidal (25-8, fighting out of Miami, Fla.) squares off against the always dangerous veteran Pat Healy (31-17, 1NC, fighting out of Portland, Ore.). Two welterweight bouts join the card, as former title challenger Thiago Pitbull Alves (24-8, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla.) returns to action following a lengthy layoff to take on Seth Baczynski (fighting out of Apache Junction, Ariz.), while Argentinian striker Santiago Ponzinibbio (19-2, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) faces knockout artist Jordan Mein (27-9, fighting out of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada). Additionally, Orlandos Josh Samman (10-3, fighting out of Tallahassee, Fla.) takes on Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Caio Magalhaes (7-2, fighting out of Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil) at middleweight.
This fight was expected, with Cain being sidelined after shoulder surgery. But it's the first official announcement I can recall of a fight being made between Travis and Fabricio.
Really interesting match up. Werdum's striking seems to have improved since his Strikeforce debacle with Overeem. Travis has obviously looked liked a beast in recent outings. I can't wait.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A Richland County man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting at highway troopers last year in downtown Columbia after a high-speed chase.
The office of Solicitor Dan Johnson reports that 42-year-old Scott Hanson of Elgin pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and failure to stop for a blue light.
Prosecutors say Hanson led troopers on a high-speed chase from Interstate 277 to a bank parking lot in Columbia's Five Points business district. After Hanson got out of his vehicle and started shooting at troopers, they shot him. He recovered from his injuries. No officer was injured.

Science Matters
About this Issue
A note from Dr. Suzanne van Drunick, the National Program Director for EPA's Safe and Sustainable Water Resources research program.
40 Years of Cleaning Up Our Water—It All Starts with Science
Who wouldn't want to arrive at their 40th birthday healthier and in better shape than they were in their younger years? If the Clean Water Act could throw a party, it would have a lot to celebrate.
Forty years ago, the dire state of the nation's water resources was a national concern. The assaults were direct and numerous: untreated sewage, industrial and toxic discharges, contaminated runoff, and widespread destruction of wetlands.
For many, the symbol of that decay came in June of 1969, when something perhaps as simple as a wayward spark from a passing train ignited a mass of oil-soaked debris floating on the surface of the contaminated Cuyahoga River—sending thick, billowing black clouds of smoke into the air. A river on fire.
But then things started to change. The newly established U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was given clear direction "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters" through major revisions to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, better known as the Clean Water Act (CWA).
In the 40 years since, much of the nation's waters have become significantly cleaner and safer.
How did that success story unfold? It all started with science. EPA researchers and their partners provided the strong, scientific foundation that watershed and land managers, water system operators, state, local and tribal governments, and others needed to take action.
But despite significant and lasting advances, "21st century challenges" have emerged that today threaten to stall and in some cases reverse that progress. Just one example: stretched to serve an increasing population, many of our wastewater and drinking water systems suffer from inadequate, outdated or neglected infrastructure—leading to the loss of trillions of gallons of water each year at a cost of more than $2.5 billion.
And once again, EPA scientists and engineers are poised to meet the challenges.
The Agency's Safe and Sustainable Water Research program—the focus of this special issue of EPA's Science Matters—is designed to provide the innovative science and engineering solutions needed for protecting the nation's water resources today, while setting the stage for a more sustainable future. It's a fitting "birthday present" for an environmental and human health success story 40-years in the making.
Please enjoy this issue of EPA's Science Matters to learn more.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by discosyl very Ole' no doubt about it this skirt is HUGE and LONG! I thought" not again" im going to have to alter everything because i dont want to send it back! ok close inspection ladies , the ruffle is actually fused into the main fabric, probably woven into it so "no seams" soooo that means I can actually alter the length. Anyone thinking of doing this you should do it "gradually" so you dont loose the effect of the skirt if your not confident take it to a dress maker. The bussle thing in the back has on the inside two :ties" I would probably add one perhaps higher for a dramatic effect, lets face it you paid a lot of money and love this skirt you dont want to drag and clean the streets while your out. Now if you are a small at FP or down at least two sizes down im a med and got a small and i reckon I could have gone a size lower xs. The elastic wide black waistband is not withstanding the weight of this skirt so it will need something to hold it up like a belt. as im walking i find that its keeps wanting to "drop" but dont dismay a belt will solve your problems. It is overall a beautiful skirt , its sooo unique and with boots , a denim jacket , black T its bold and beautiful. 5.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BitsyJ I'm in love! (Frilled out & chilled out.) I agree with the rest of the reviewers about the color - it's definitely more of a faded black. But I actually prefer the more muted color. This skirt is super comfortable so you have the benefit of a dressy look without the discomfort. I'm only 5' 5" and with some heeled boots the skirt just graces the floor - perfection. Can't wait to wear it on New Year's Eve! (Here's a pic from when I first tried it on - without make-up - hence no head! Pictured with my FP moto jacket.) 12.19.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Saunsurae Year Round Favorite I absolutely love this maxi! I refer to it as my "dark bride gown" primarily because of the trail in the back. I've worn it on a summer's night, and most recently on one of the coldest winter night's I've experienced thus far in 2013. I've dressed it with a loose tee and plenty of long chains for a goth look, and more recently with my jeweled-up holiday sweater and bling belt. What's most amazing is with all this elegance, I donned a pair of combat boots and still remained fabulous. There's nothing like being fabulous and comfortable - oh my!!! 11.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by longboardlover Fabulous I am wearing the skirt as I write this. I wore it yesterday too and am going to wear it tomorrow. It is lovely. I have had quite a few complements and many a look whilst wearing this. I usually buy a medium or small and bought a small in this, but could easily have gone down to an XS. However as I am very tall (5'11") I can carry the extra fabric. I bought the red, which is a lovely cherry colour and am currently wearing it with a stripey long sleeved T and bolero leather so to balance out the fullness of the skirt. It is long though as I have heeled boots on with it and it is still floor length. Overall a fabulous skirt which is currently my favourite FP item. Definitely worth the money. Buy it whilst you can. 11.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jackiecoolmc Love to the MAXI This skirt was in and out of my shopping cart for far too long. My sister's bachelorette party was coming up, so I felt I should be able to treat myself--the first thing that came to my mind was this skirt. I got it from the store in Chicago and I am so glad I got to try before buying. I was going to order the Medium, but read the reviews and changed it to a Small online. In the store, however, I ended up buying the XS. I am 5"6.5 and 135lbs. I am long and lean with a bit of an athletic build. The skirt is beyond gorgeous, but it is a fuller material especially with all of the ruffles so you are going to want it to fit perfectly. The XS fits me as a higher waisted skirt, but tight if I wanted to use it lower. I like high-waited so I wanted it to be perfect only in that area. The pictures show very dressed down and relaxed styles to wear with the skirt, but it is not hard to dress up, which was my original worry. I wore a fitted cropped black tank with the "Washed Black" skirt along with fuschia heels. Unfortunately, I do not have any full length style pics to share, but trust me, dressy works! I love the skirt for that reason--it can be played up or down depending on your mood or plans for the day/night. The details leave out exactly how the train can be tied up, but basically around the back of your knees on the inside there are 2 thin , but durable strings that can be tied together, pulling the train up very easily. I ordered the "Washed Black", which is just that. For all the confusion: it is NOT black. It has a tint of lighter hues so if it is easier, think about it as a dark gray. I loved the pebble and white color, but the train is the most magnificent thing about this dress so I want it to be able to be shown and also last. Amazing skirt that I will wear through every season of the year! 8.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by juliecrenshaw100 Beautiful! OMG! The skirt is so much prettier in person love it! It is made well and so girly sexy! One of the best items I have ever purchased from FP and I am a long time FP shopper. Runs large as all reviewers say size down 1 even 2 sizes I got a XS and its a bit loose on my hips I'm 5'4 115 but it works just fine this is a must have!! 6.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Byrdie Magnificent Maxi! You will feel like a goddess queen in this skirt! The black is definitely washed/muted. The bias ruffles and weight of the skirt are what make this such a special piece. The dramatic drag of the pointed tail makes this piece a fantasy! Even though it is so unique, the skirt is very easy to incorporate in most wardrobes. It will be beautiful with Victorian inspired lace tops as well as simple tanks or graphic t shirts. A great year round statement must have! 5.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CB4 Gorgeous Skirt!!! I love this skirt! I had been contemplating this purchase and finally decided I would go for it. I am so glad it I bought it! I purchased in washed black - LOVE! The weight of the skirt is heavy, but there is a lot of material on this beauty. This is one of those pieces that you'll have for many years! It does run big (I bought the large because that's all that was left in the black color way), but I can and will make it work! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! 5.17.2013

Comments about Mens R-Gear Kick Back Unlined Shorts:
I originally bought these for casual wear. I like the heavier fabric and the fact that it doesn't have a liner. Although it is a heavier fabric, I started wearing them for trail running, and found them to be very comfortable and durable. I liked them well enough to order more. The fit is true to size.

Comments about Mens R-Gear Kick Back Unlined Shorts:
This is a great casual pair of shorts for lounging around the house. They're prefectly weighted, not too thin, not too heavy. Too heavy for real running so I wouldn't buy it for that. There's just the right amount of stretch too.

Cool print on the short. They're good for any kind of activity you need to do. I wear them to the gym a lot because they're stretchy and give me the range of motion I need without them being too short.

Gear Review
Jesse Smith
These are the single most uncomfortable piece of cycle wear I've ever worn. The material feels harsh next to your skin. The grippers feature raised dots that seem to pull and tear at the skin. Although they are windproof, the material still manage to feel cold next to your skin.The fit is very tight and constricting.
I've only used these for two rides-well not even two. I had to remove them halfway through the second ride. There's a flat seam right at the back of the knee joint that feels like a jeweler's saw working it's way through your tendons. I chose to finish the ride with slightly chilly knees rather than have the back of them rubbed raw.
Thanks for your comment, Jesse. Sorry it cost you so dearly, but your description made me laugh! I've decided on the Mavics now that I've read your post. Hope you sent yours back for something else...

Aiken Mall Acquisition LLC, which owns about 35 acres at Aiken Mall, has been forcelosed upon and owes approximately $28.5 million to U.S. Bank, according to Aiken County Clerk of Court records.
The total owed value includes a principal balance of about $20 million, with additional uncollected interest and late fees making up the difference.
According to Clerk of Court records, Aiken Mall Acquisitions LLC quit making payments on the interest on April 1, 2012.
The mall has been emptying out over the years with several stores closing up shop or relocating. Anchor stores include Belk, Dillard's, JCPenney, Sears and Books-A-Million.
A judge will open a bid process to purchase the property on June 3 at 11 a.m. at the Aiken County Courthouse, located at 109 Park Avenue.
U.S. Bank has a choice to seek a deficiency judgement against Aiken Mall Acquisitions LLC by that date and time. If it does not, then the highest bidder on June 3 would be awarded the property and a deed would be issued.
If it does seek a deficiency judgment, the bank would not only be foreclosing the mortgage, but also would be seeking a money judgment. Additionally, the bidding would remain open for another 30 days, ending on July 3 at 11 a.m.
The highest bidder at the first sale cannot bid again at the second sale. If no one else raises the bid at the second sale, then the property goes to the higher bidder from the original sale.
According to the S.C. Secretary of State's website, Aiken Mall Acquisition LLC is registered to W. Lindsay Smith in Greenville. A call to Smith was not returned by press time.
The sales will be conducted by open bidding. It is not necessary to pre-register. The successful bidder is required to pay 5 percent of the total bid to the Aiken County Master-In-Equity.

- Subthreshold antiproton production in heavy ion collisions (1993)
- We present a RQMD calculation of antiproton yields and their momentum distribution in Ne + NaF collisions at 2 GeV/u. The antiprotons can be produced below threshold due to multi-step excitations for which meson-baryon interactions play a considerable role. In this system the annihilation probability for an initially produced antiproton is predicted to be about 65%.
- The origin of transverse flow at the SPS (1998)
- We study the transverse expansion in central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Strong collective motion of hadrons can be created. This flow is mainly due to meson baryon rescattering. It allows to study the angular distribution of intermediate mass meson baryon interactions.
- "Antiflow" of antiprotons in heavy ion collisions (1994)
- In the framework of the relativistic quantum dynamics approach we investigate antiproton observables in Au-Au collisions at 10.7A GeV. The rapidity dependence of the in-plane directed transverse momentum p(y) of p's shows the opposite sigh of the nucleon flow, which has indeed recently been discovered at 10.7A GeV by the E877 group. The "antiflow" of p's is also predicted at 2A GeV and at 160 A GeV and appears at all energies also for pi's and K's. These predicted p anticorrelations are a direct proof of strong p annihilation in massive heavy ion reactions.
- Phasespace Correlations of Antideuterons in Heavy Ion Collisions (1995)
- In the framework of the relativistic quantum molecular dynamics approach (RQMD) we investigate antideuteron (d) observables in Au+Au collisions at 10.7 AGeV. The impact parameter dependence of the formation ratios d/p2 and d/p2 is calculated. In central collisions, the antideuteron formation ratio is predicted to be two orders of magnitude lower than the deuteron formation ratio. The d yield in central Au+Au collisions is one order of magnitude lower than in Si+Al collisions. In semicentral collisions di erent configuration space distributions of p s and d s lead to a large squeeze out e ect for antideuterons, which is not predicted for the p s.
- Antibaryons in massive heavy ion reactions : importance of potentials (1995)
- In the framework of RQMD we investigate antiproton observables in massive heavy ion collisions at AGS energies and compare to preliminary results of the E878 collaboration. We focus here on the considerable influence of the real part of an antinucleon nucleus optical potential on the ¯p momentum spectra. Pacs-numbers: 14.20 Dh, 25.70.-z
- Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)
- The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.
- Creation of strange matter at low initial m/T (1996)
- We demonstrate that the creation of strange matter is conceivable in the midrapidity region of heavy ion collisions at Brookhaven RHIC and CERN LHC. A finite net-baryon density, abundant (anti)strangeness production, as well as strong net-baryon and net-strangeness fluctuations, provide suitable initial conditions for the formation of strangelets or metastable exotic multistrange ( baryonic) objects. Even at very high initial entropy per baryon SyAinit ¯ 500 and low initial baryon numbers of Ainit B ¯ 30 a quark-gluon-plasma droplet can immediately charge up with strangeness and accumulate net-baryon number. PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw, 12.38.Mh, 24.85.+
- Hypermatter : properties and formation in relativistic nuclear collisions (1995)
- The extension of the Periodic System into hitherto unexplored domains - anti- matter and hypermatter - is discussed. Starting from an analysis of hyperon and single hypernuclear properties we investigate the structure of multi-hyperon objects (MEMOs) using an extended relativistic meson field theory. These are contrasted with multi-strange quark states (strangelets). Their production mechanism is stud- ied for relativistic collisions of heavy ions from present day experiments at AGS and SPS to future opportunities at RHIC and LHC. It is pointed out that abso- lutely stable hypermatter is unlikely to be produced in heavy ion collisions. New attention should be focused on short lived metastable hyperclusters ( / 10 10s) and on intensity interferometry of multi-strange-baryon correlations.
- Distillation of strangelets for low initial mu/T (1995)
- We calculate the evolution of quark-gluon-plasma droplets during the hadronization in a thermodynamical model. It is speculated that cooling as well as strangeness enrichment allow for the formation of strangelets even at very high initial entropy per baryon S/Ainit H 500 and low initial baryon numbers of Ainit B H 30. It is shown that the droplet with vanishing initial chemical potential of strange quarks and a very moderate chemical potential of up/down quarks immediately charges up with strangeness. Baryon densi- ties of H 2 0 and strange chemical potentials of µs > 350 MeV are reached if strangelets are stable. The importance of net baryon and net strangeness fluctuations for the possible strangelet formation at RHIC and LHC is em- phasized. Pacs-Classif.: 25.15.tr, 12.38.Mh, 24.85.tp
- Dynamics of strangeness production and strange matter formation (1996)
- We want to draw the attention to the dynamics of a (finite) hadronizing quark matter drop. Strange and antistrange quarks do not hadronize at the same time for a baryon-rich system1. Both the hadronic and the quark matter phases enter the strange sector fs 6= 0 of the phase diagram almost immediately, which has up to now been neglected in almost all calculations of the time evolution of the system. Therefore it seems questionable, whether final particle yields reflect the actual thermodynamic properties of the system at a certain stage of the evolution. We put special interest on the possible formation of exotic states, namely strangelets (multistrange quark clusters). They may exist as (meta-)stable exotic isomers of nuclear matter 2. It was speculated that strange matter might exist also as metastable exotic multi-strange (baryonic) objects (MEMO s 3). The possible creation in heavy ion collisions of long-lived remnants of the quark-gluon-plasma, cooled and charged up with strangeness by the emission of pions and kaons, was proposed in 1,4,5. Strangelets can serve as signatures for the creation of a quark gluon plasma. Currently, both at the BNL-AGS and at the CERN-SPS experiments are carried out to search for MEMO s and strangelets, e. g. by the E864, E878 and the NA52 collaborations9,

Style: BJJ--
Fukuoka, Japan - Paraestra Hakata
Paraestra Hakata is a small Shooto and BJJ dojo under Yuki Nakai's Paraestra organisation.
The dojo is small and minimally equipped, however a better atmosphere and more dedicated group is difficult to find.
Located in the Hakata area of Fukuoka, Japan, classes are offered all day and night, every day and night. What is even more amazing is that there are only two instructors, and they both teach all day every day.
Classes are split into BJJ or Shooto. As the dojo is just one large matted room, there is an invisible line separating the two training areas.
The BJJ teacher is Kenshi Tomari, certified as a black belt under Yuki Nakai, and who now regularly travels to Brazil to train with Leo Vieira and the Brasa team. Tomari-sensei has competed in the Worlds, although with no medal success just yet, but he competes every year. He is enthusiastic, friendly, and skilled. What's more, he is more than willing to practice his smattering of English (and Portuguese) to help us foreigners understand what he is teaching.
Tomari-sensei's style is to begin the classes with the usual BJJ warm up drills, then move onto technique, then drills, then sparring. Often, classes are simply warm-up and then sparring, depending on the students attending. Classes continue late into the night, with the last starting at around 10pm.
Competitions are regular and encouraged. Before competition times, "special" training occurs late at night, involving a much harder level of contact, circuit training, and drills.
Ueno-sensei is the Shooto instructor. He has had some success at professional Shooto (MMA) in Japan. Classes are flexible, depending who is attending, but cover striking, no-gi grappling, and a combination of the two (MMA). Classes consist of a warm up specific to the class - for striking lessons, shadowboxing. For grappling lessons, a selection of wrestling warm ups. For striking, the class progresses to some limited sparring (punches only, or kicks only, or certain combinations only) then moving on to full sparring (with pads.)For grappling, wrestling takedowns are practiced (single / double legs, ankle picks, etc.), then some drills, and then sparring. MMA classes depend on who is attending... The higher the skill level, the more likely the lesson will be just sparring.
On Sundays there is a beginner's BJJ class, combined with a kids class. Both BJJ and Shooto accept beginners any time of the year.
There is a small contingent of foreigners who train at the academy. Despite us all being lanky, smelly bastards, we generally get treated pretty well. What's more, if you start competing, you'll bump into foreigners from other schools and gradually build up quite a good network of contacts.
The atmosphere is very friendly and hard-working (as you would imagine from a Japanese school.)
There are at least 2 professional Shooto fighters who make occasional appearances there for training.
A member of the gym recently took second place in an amateur shooto competition (and has performed very well in the past) and thus got upgraded to a professional Shooto license. This opportunity is open to anyone who trains hard enough to achieve it.
In summary, Paraestra is a bare bones academy that offers a friendly and close-knit, family-like atmosphere combined with the crazy Japanese work-ethic that means hard training, every single day.
On a personal note, once you get accepted intto the "gang", they really know how to throw a party... Last weekend I went, as the only foreigner, to a big party. Ended up in a hostess bar with the sensei and some other students, man what a night! Poor guy had to get up and teach BJJ early the next morning though, hahaha.
Bullshido members can PM me if they are passing through the area for directions and an introduction.

Style: BJJ (blue)/Judo (blue)--
Great review. Sounds a lot like the Paraestra affiliate (Paraestra Ikebukuro) I trained at in Tokyo. Anyone who trains at one of the Paraestra academies can also drop in on classes at any of the other locations. This is albeit relevant only where there are several spots in the same area. Tokyo has 4 or 5 locations.
is a Godd*mn Federale!

Style: BJJ and anit MT MT--
I go to a Paraestra gym in Chiba. Interesting concept they have for a gym. I don't know about yours personally though btw. We have a ring, and some weights, as well as 2 radically different mats.
There are about 4 coaches total, 3 for BJJ, and one for shooto(nogi), they kinda rotate their days when they teach.
There is a small core of pros and amateurs, plus a good amount of regular students. Normal class sizes are from anywhere from 8-20 students depending on the day.
I'd add that the people at my gym are better in general at sweeping and leglocks than from what I've seen. While their subs from the guard are not as good, same from their wrestling. Not a bad thing, just a different emphasis.

A book trailer for Ani's Raw Food Essentials for a naturally effervescent probiotic drink called Water Kefir from page 56.
This healthy drink is simple to make using water kefir grains that you can purchase online. I include resources in my book, and recommend going straight to the source for the living grains. Avoid the processed, dried, packaged grains because they are not as vital as the living grains. Plus, the dry grains only brew maybe three batches before you have to go and buy more dried grains again.
It takes just 48 hours to brew Water Kefir, and it's full of friendly bacteria for building healthy intestinal flora. It helps me with digestion, assimilation of nutrients, and elimination. I enjoy Water Kefir with and after meals to help with digestion. I drink a cup on an empty stomach before bed to balance my intestinal flora.
In this video, I use a variation of the recipe in my book.
Water Kefir
Place water into a glass jar. Add sugars, ginger, pear, and stir. Add grains. Close lid, and store in cabinet for 48 hours to brew.
Pour brew through a plastic sieve to catch the grains. Remove ginger and pear. Store brew in glass bottles at room temperature to increase vitamin B levels. Or, store in fridge to chill.
Start your next batch immediately.

Product Details
G.Loomis took a page from their NRX blank technology to develop a new series of fly rods that "new-to-the-sport" and intermediate flyfishers will learn to appreciate and expert anglers will wonder how this much performance gets packed into such an affordable package.
A new taper design along with a noticeable weight-reduction in the upper half of the blank allows us to make a fly rod that is incredibly light, recovers quickly and casts with unbelievable precision. It's the G.Loomis way... reduce as much weight as possible, take total advantage of the materials and create a taper that is dynamic, efficient and user-friendly. They are as beautiful to look at as they are to cast. A rod any flyfisher would be proud to own!!

Retinol Renewal with RestorAtive Complex
Unlike many serums with retinol, this contains more than just one anti-aging ingredient.
Hydrator Plus SPF 30
The formula contains some antioxidants and skin-repairing ingredients, allowing it to go beyond providing sun protection.
Add to Faves?
PCA Skin At-a-Glance
Strengths: Every SPF-rated product provides reliable broad-spectrum sun protection; several products are fragrance-free; good eye cream and retinol serum.
Weaknesses: Way too expensive for what you get; several products contain irritating fragrant oils; the toners contain irritants; there are too many serums and many contain irritating ingredients; the acne products contain problematic ingredients.
PCA Skin is a product line you may have seen at your spa, salon, or dermatologist's office. Founded by an aesthetician in 1990, the brand became relatively popular after developing a series of professional alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels marketed as "medical clinical aesthetics"; in other words, these products are sold to dermatology practices offering cosmetic services such as facials. More recently, PCA Skin has teamed up with a dermatologist and other medical professionals to develop skin-care products. The peels are for professional use only and, in fact, except for a facial scrub, PCA Skin does not sell exfoliants that consumers can use at home.
Not surprisingly, PCA Skin's medical and aesthetics background is supposed to be rooted in science. The company states that "we use rigorous research and science to develop safe, highly effective products that deliver healthy, beautiful skin." Although PCA Skin products contain many beneficial, research-supported ingredients, they also contain numerous problematic ingredients that cause irritation; somehow, that "rigorous" research overlooked those. Irritation is always a problem for skin, causing inflammation and collagen breakdown, and impairing the skin's ability to heal.
Chief among the irritants you'll find throughout the PCA Skin line are witch hazel, citrus and numerous other fragrant oils (whether synthetic or natural, fragrance is almost always a problem for skin), drying cleansing agents, and alcohol (we mean, really, alcohol?!). In our Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, we provide detailed information on why each of these ingredients is a problem; for all of their talk about science, chemistry, and research, PCA Skin should know better.
If you remain intrigued by this brand (or find the sales pressure from your aesthetician too intense to ignore), there are some worthwhile products. It's great that every SPF-rated product from PCA Skin includes reliable broad-spectrum sun-protection ingredients, and fans of facial scrubs should know this brand does offer a gentle option. Also, their eye cream and retinol serum are worth a look, and several products are fragrance-free, although you need to choose carefully because many of their products contain fragrant plant extracts or oils despite being listed as fragrance-free.
PCA Skin's science-based mission is admirable, but just because an aesthetician and doctor teamed up, the results for these products aren't going to be spectacular, or even all that helpful.

Thursday, April 18, 2013
A Dorchester County task force is looking into possible pay raises for county elected and appointed officials.
Council gave approval April 1 for human resources to consider pay raises, as well as performance and merit increases for employees, reclassification of employee positions and employee health and dental benefits.
The move comes about because council adjusted employees' pay in January, but delayed a decision on elected and appointed officials' pay, County Administrator Jason Ward said.
Sheriff L.C. Knight said he was ready and waiting to see what the county would do.
"I've been here four years and haven't got 1 percent," he said.
County Council last gave itself a raise in 2008, when it quietly voted in a pay increase to $20,000 from $15,000.
When the information became widely known, several members said they would continue to accept only the original amount of $15,000.
By comparison, Charleston County Council members earn between $14,001 and $18,000, and Berkeley County Council members make $12,000.
The exact salary of some elected officials can be difficult to pin down, because they receive supplemental pay from the state.
And some officials get pay increases mandated by the state. Probate judges salaries', for example, are determined according to a salary schedule based on population and are adjusted annually using the cost-of-living increase determined by the state – 3 percent this year – according to Dorchester County's human resources department.
According to a budget proviso supplied by the S.C. Comptroller General's office, clerks of court, probate judges, sheriffs and coroners each also receive a $1,575 supplement from the state, and registers of deeds receive a $650 supplement.
That information differs slightly from what some of the counties in the tri-county area reported.
Berkeley County, for example, reported no supplement for its coroner and reported its probate judge received two supplements – one in the amount of $1,575 and one in the amount of $9,845.
Probate Judge Keith Kornahrens didn't return a call seeking clarification.
Also according to the budget proviso supplied by the comptroller general's office, county auditors and treasurers are to receive state supplements of $27,224.
The S.C. Treasurer's Office, however, said the supplements for those two positions are $19,976.
The additional money, said spokesman Brian DeRoy, goes directly to benefits.
The proviso says, "The amount appropriated in Part IA, Section 86, for Aid Cnty-Auditors and Aid Cnty-Treasurers, shall be equally distributed to each county auditor and county treasurer as a salary supplement in addition to any amounts presently being provided by the county for these positions."
The amount appropriated is $1.25 million for each office – or $27,224 when divided by 46 counties. DeRoy, however, said the $19,976 figure is the correct amount of the supplement.
The auditors and treasurers don't receive the full $19,976, however, as part of that money is also deducted for benefits.
Dorchester County Auditor J.J. Messervy said his taxable income from the state supplement is $15,216.
The budget proviso stipulates the extra state pay for auditors and treasurers isn't an excuse for counties to decrease their contributions, and that auditors and treasurers should still be considered eligible for county pay raises.

As a side note - I hope no one watched Grey's Anatomy last night except me. I bawled and bawled! A micro-preemie died from NEC. I thought of many of you and my heart broke for you again. To go through such a difficult pregnancy, then a pre-term birth, then a fight for survival, then a death... there's just not much worse.
My sister in law lost a baby at term. I can't say for sure it was due to pre-e (don't think her doctor even knew what that was), but she had all the symptoms. They sent her home on a Friday to rest (because of high BP), and she would be induced on Monday if she didn't go into labor by then. The baby died either that night or the next morning. After 10 years, she finally had a precious baby boy last November (she is also 37).
It was touch and go for my son, but by a miracle he made it, so I haven't experienced a loss beyond the first trimester. But I'm now 33 weeks and have no issues with this subsequent pregnancy. My doctor really believes that we'll make it to term.
I know it's so easy to be nervous. I used to get so anxious before I'd see the doctor because I just wanted to know that the baby was still alive. It got a lot better when I could feel her kick. You're almost at that point!

I'll have to check that out later and see if there's any improvement. Right now the top of my list is finding a compatible DVD drive to rip my GC games with since my Wii's failing to do it.
One more thing I'd like to know is do you know if there's any program to copy saves from a GC memory card to like SD or USB or something? I'd like to backup my saves as well if possible.
