I can hear Sean Payton already.
"Hey New England, let's see if you can get that good of a player with the 32nd overall pick!"
I'm up in Wiesbaden. Would like to go cheer our little "Who Dats" on.
Shockey may not be the pass threat he once was, but the man can block. If you watch some of the game footage you will see what I mean.
Do you guys think that Darren Sharper would make a good DBs coach?
Prediction: Saints 38 : Falcons 6
In German they would say Roddy White is a "Vollidiot" (blithering idiot). Prounounced Full Idiot. Like somebody posted earlier, Altlanta has been to one SB and Denver blew them out of the air like a bunch of hunters on a turkey shoot. White will have 4 catches for 30 yards and 0 TDs. Chris Ivory will bulldoze his way to 100+ yards rushing and Reggie Bush will run circles around that circus that Atlanta calls a defense. Drew Brees will have his best game this season throwing for over 300 yards once more with 4 TDs and 0 picks. Now here's the best part. At the Post Game Press Conference, Sean Payton will open up with, "Thank you Roddy White. I've been trying everything to wake this team up this year. It's amazing that something so stupid like what you tweeted can jump start an entire organisation.". Geaux Saints
Man, the Saints players never ceases to amaze me. Everytime I read something they are giving. Their blessings awaits them in Heaven.
Now that was a class act on part of Tom Benson.
"Being in New Orleans allowed me to become so unselfish, and I saw what an unselfish football team can do,"
Mike Bell == Classy Guy
New Orleans is starting to look like Hollywood. Brad Pitt, Spike Lee and if the Saints signs Justin Fargas, Huggy Bear will be in town. If this guy is really healthy it will be a good pickup. I also like Mike Bell. He runs like a man on a mission. Saying that, if the Saints don't match the Eagles offer, it's better for Bell. There he will become the Nr. 1 back.
I live in Germany now but was born and reared in New Orleans. I flew home on February 3rd and returned to Germany today. This was without a doubt the best time I've ever had at home. To see the Saints win the Super Bowl was just amazing. They are such a good team. I pray they are able to keep this group together while adding a few more good players. I will enjoy watching all the people I know here eat crow. I mean the fans of the Cowboys, Vikings, Colts and other teams. When the Saints won the NFC Championship they were all saying that the Colts will win the Super Bowl by a landslide. ROFLMAO This will be so sweet. But I won't rub it in. I will savour the moment. Geaux Saints
Hello shell,
first, I cannot believe that anyone from New Orleans treated you or anyone from Minnesota this way. I was borned and reared in Nawlins and we learn respect of others from birth. You might be mixing Nawlins up with the way you all are treated in Chicago.
Hey bondcrash,
I believe everyone is thinking the same as you. It's almost like if the Saints are saying, "Show me what you have and I'll top it". LOL
Hey Largemouth7,
Where are you located in Germany? I'm in Wiesbaden.
This is for SKBFXSTC
I don't think one pass was completed on McAlister last night.
But you're right, McKenzie was awesome.
Mark my words. Tony Hargrove will be a starter by week 6.
Funny how the nation cares about how terror suspects are being handled but don't care about how U.S.citizens are handled. The U.S. prison system is totally bogust. If you don't think so just take a ride up to Angola.
I'm really happy that Jonathan Vilma has been resigned. The Saints need to also think about another stud linebacker or two to compliment him. Of course we also need a ball hawking, knock the snot out of the wide receiver's nose FS.
What ever happened to Lavar Arrington? That guy is a beast.

Sleepless in the hospital: Our own default
By Peter Ubel, ACP Member
Sleep is important to health, perhaps no more so than when people become sick. Indeed, it is likely that failure to sleep slows the recovery of patients hospitalized with acute illnesses. Sleep disturbance is a leading cause of hospital complications, such as falls and delirium ("Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: An Unmet Public Health Problem." Institute of Medicine, 2006; Gerontology. 2009;55(2):162-8). Poor sleep also has been linked to reduced immune function (Arch Intern Med. 2006;166:1756-62), worsening blood pressure control (Sleep. 2003;26(8):986-9) and mood disorders (Sleep Med. 200;8(3):215-21). All of these problems potentially impair the ability of patients to recover from the acute illnesses that caused them to be hospitalized.
Yet hospitals are notoriously difficult places for patients to sleep. Illness symptoms can interfere with sleep, as can noisy roommates. To make matters worse, hospital protocols often lead to further sleep disturbance, with hospital personnel waking patients in the middle of the night to check vital signs or draw blood (J Hosp Med. 2008;3(6):473-82). As a result, just when people need sleep the most, they often don't get it.
Peter Ubel, ACP Member
Fortunately, there is a simple way to reduce sleep disturbances: a change in policy stating that patients are not to be disturbed in the middle of the night unless it is medically necessary. On many general medicine wards, the default procedure is for nurses and lab techs to wake patients for blood draws and vitals, unless a physician specifically orders a "sleep protocol" to reduce such interruptions (J Hosp Med. 2009;4(1):50-9). I propose that hospital units should consider making "sleep protocol" the default option, so that patients are woken only when physicians specifically indicate such disturbances are required.
Defaults and behavior
Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people are strongly influenced by default options when making decisions ("Free Market Madness." Harvard University Press, 2009). Employees are more likely to contribute to retirement funds when such contributions are automatic ("Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness. Yale University Press, 2008). People are more likely to donate their loved ones' organs in countries where such donations are default policy (Science. 2003;302:1338-9). In both cases, the actions people take are influenced by framing their choices with a particular default setting. Default options have gained widespread attention because they can influence behavior without unduly restricting freedom (N Engl J Med. 2007;357:1340-4).
Currently in most hospital settings, nursing staff assume physicians want patients awoken for nighttime tests; this is the default. If a physician does not consider a patient's need for sleep, the patient will be interrupted even if it's unnecessary.
While patients in intensive care usually do need to have their vital signs monitored closely, and often need multiple blood draws each day to monitor rapidly changing clinical circumstances, many hospitalized patients do not change enough in their clinical course to require routine middle-of-the-night interruptions. For example, a patient in the third day of his hospital stay, whose clinical situation has been improving and whose vital signs were normal at 10 p.m., may not need vital signs checked again until he wakes up in the morning. Similarly, a person whose hemoglobin and electrolytes have been relatively stable for a couple of days might not need to have these tests checked at 5 a.m. just so the clinician can have the information at morning rounds.
A modest proposal
There are two ways clinicians can use the insights of behavioral economics to improve patients' sleep. First, portions of our hospitals could shift their default procedures so that a "sleep protocol" becomes the standard of care. Bartick et al. developed one such protocol, which establishes eight hours of quiet time for patients, with darkening of the room and avoidance of waking patients for nonurgent matters. The protocol reduced sleep disturbances by 38% (J Hosp Med. 2010;5:E20-4).
The problem with making sleep protocol the default is that some hospital units might choose sleep protocol as the default while others set as their default a protocol calling for middle-of-the-night vital signs. Differing default procedures across hospital units could confuse clinicians who work on multiple units.
This leads to a second approach. Hospitals could require physicians to actively indicate whether they want their patient to receive "standard sleep protocol" or an alternative protocol, such as "interrupt sleep for vitals and blood draws." In other words, they can eliminate a default, and require physicians to actively contemplate what is best for a given patient. Failure to indicate a protocol would trigger a nursing query. Some hospital units might even require physicians to reconsider their decision in, for instance, 48 hours, a time by which physicians will have a better idea of the need for labs and vitals.
It is time for physicians to think more carefully about how to help their patients sleep better. Sleep is such an important part of health that we need to promote it in our patients. Shifts in our default practices can help reach this goal.

Sliminate Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
There are a lot of diet pills and capsules in the market and they all promise the same thing–effective and effort-free weight loss. Another one of the diet supplements that you may encounter is a product called Sliminate. The manufacturers of Sliminate claim that their product can help dieters to lose weight though natural fat-burning processes, even claiming that weight loss has never been so simple and pleasant. Part of their advertising campaigns are statements saying that with continued use of Sliminate, users can go and eat whatever they want and still lose weight. Claims like this are highly suspicious because we all know that the food we intake greatly affects our bodies. No amount of drugs can suffice if we keep on eating unhealthily. They do however say that this claim is based on the product's effect which is to increase the body's metabolic rate. Sliminate's ingredients are said to be based on organic Chinese ingredients that not only speed up the body's metabolism but also suppress one's appetite. Be careful however because there are a few online testimonials saying that Sliminate is just another one of those diet pills that don't work. One website claims that Sliminate's manufacturers, Kunning Dali LLC are also the makers of an ineffective diet pill called LiDa DaiDaihua. This other product in fact is included in FDA's Tainted Diet Pills Warning.
Most of Sliminate's active ingredients are said to have been based on traditional Chinese medicine. This includes Bitter Orange that can stimulate one's metabolism, Job's Tears Seeds that has diuretic and antioxidant properties, Mulberry Leaf that can control the body's glucose levels, and Cassio Tora L which also has diuretic effects on people. Looking at these main ingredients, we can see that majority of Sliminate's effects are mainly diuretic, meaning more trips to the bathroom and an active loss of water from the body. While this is a sure way to lose weight, the weight loss may only be because of the lost water and not burned fat.
Product Features
Sliminate claims to help dieters lose weight by speeding up their metabolism and making their body's burn food faster. They say that it can also suppress one's appetite. This herbal-based supplement is advised to be taken once a day only.
- Increased metabolism
- A promise of being able to eat whatever you want and still lose weight
- Organic and all-natural ingredients
- Claimed as ineffective by some online testimonials
- Lack of scientific research and evidence presented
- Ingredients are mostly diuretic in nature only
Herbal and all-natural ingredients are usually a good thing. Chinese medicine, what Sliminate claims to be based on, has been in existence for so long and is seen as effective by many people. With regards to Sliminate however, they need to present more scientific evidence that proves their claims and pretty big promises. Potential customers may want to take a closer look at the product first before purchasing it because some sites are calling it an ineffective diet scam.

Jaime King Is Pregnant With Her First Child!
Here's some heartwarming news!
Hart of Dixie star Jaime King and husband Kyle Newman are expecting a baby later this year, according to People.
This will be the first child for the couple.
The 34-year-old actress met her director husband on the set of the film Fanboys in 2005, which she starred in and he directed.
They moved in together after three months of dating, and they got hitched in November 2007.
"I want at least three children," she said at the time of their wedding.
Jaime started her career as a model and later branched into acting with films like Pearl Harbor and Sin City.
She was a series regular on short-lived sitcoms Gary Unmarried and Kitchen Confidential before planding the role of Lennon Breeland on the CW's Hart of Dixie.
Congrats to the happy couple!

Joeslackman et al., when staffers from The Times-Picayune met with Lt. Gen. Russel Honore' in Baton Rouge in the weeks after Katrina, he told a story about nurses trying to evacuate Charity Hospital. As they were moving patients toward the exits, he said, a truck rolled over a plastic water bottle. Do you know what a truck rolling over a bottle like that sounds like? he asked us. It sounds like a gun being fired. Nurses rushed their patients back inside, he said, under the mistaken impression that they were being fired upon.
That story from Honore' does not directly address all the reports of wanton gunfire in the city, but it gave me pause and should give others pause, too. He didn't tell us that story just for entertainment. As the report dated Sept. 26, 2005, reveals there were things that people accepted as true that plainly weren't.
I have been critical of the New Orleans Police Department, but the Danziger Bridge guilty pleas, the Danziger Bridge indictments, the Henry Glover indictments and the other cases the federal government is investigating make me believe my criticism is warranted.
mizlucy, it's not my argument that bad things didn't happen. They did happen, without question. It's not even my argument that looting wasn't rampant or that honest police officers didn't have a job on their hands. The point is civilians in New Orleans were accused of despicable acts, up to and including rampant murder and the rape of babies. And the public accepted much -- if not all of it -- as truth.
But the truly despicable crimes that evidence suggest really did happen seem to have been committed by the New Orleans police. I know of nothing that happened in the city that justifies those alleged crimes.
seiglinde, I think of myself as a New Orleanian. And after Katrina, "we" New Orleanians were horribly defamed and slandered.
You may have noticed, but I'm also a black man. Was that first, actually. The horrible atrocities being attributed to New Orleanians were typically accompanied by pictures of black people. Neither New Orleanians nor black people in particular were well served by Ray Nagin using the word "animalistic" to describe the people in the city.
I was offended twice over, but all of us who call ourselves New Orleanians should have been offended at least once.
djj420, I'm not an ichthyologist, so I can't peer-review Kraemer's scientist. He did say specifically, though, that he was talking about gills and fish-gut membranes, which he said are lipids. Perhaps a biology major / ichthyologist will see this conversation and help us figure out if that's significantly different than the membranes that surround human cells.
tortillajoe, When Katrina made landfall, I was in New Orleans at The Times-Picayune building on Howard. That Monday afternoon I went out with other journalists to report on what was happening to the city and its people. Tuesday morning we were all forced out. The water was rising around the building. We climbed in the back of the paper's delivery trucks, 24-25 deep, ostensibly to drive over to the West Bank and formulate a plan. However, the truck I was on kept going, all the way to Baton Rouge. One truck turned back around and the reporters who were aboard that one provided the news of what was happening from Tuesday on. I made it back to New Orleans the next week.
Koebel, I tend to reject all suggestions that one's geography determines how one copes with suffering. So I can't take as truth your claim that people in Mississippi or even St. Tammany Parish are made of sterner stuff and they've dealt with their loss and their grief more appropriately than people in New Orleans have.
I hope you will acknowledge, though, that what happened in New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish was different than what happened in other places. The storm hit in Mississippi, but the death toll here was many multiples higher because of engineering failures.
We all have the right to our stories. We all have a right to our emotions. And we need not pretend that our grief is something other than that because somebody says that people somewhere else are handling it with aplomb.
Very good point, micajah88. I should change how I describe Katrina's less-talked about Louisiana landfall.
ozzy1969, perhaps you didn't read the column all the way through. Attorney Damon Hewitt explains that victory for the five black plaintiffs would have been a victory for everybody who got less money than he or she otherwise would have because the formula was based on home value. They wanted a settlement with the LRA and HUD, he said that would have led to everybody -- black, white, Vietnamese, Hispanic, etc., etc., etc. -- getting a fairer shake.
Bucktownian, you make a valid point when you suggest that people who spent less shouldn't expect to get as much as those who spent more. The problem with that approach, though, is that it assumes that the demographics of our neighborhoods were established in a completely open and free market. And that's hardly the case.
Consider Pontchartrain Park. Black New Orleanians who wanted entry into a subdivision were barred from purchasing such homes elsewhere. In that sense, the government aided and abetted the separation of white neighborhoods from black ones. Many of the original homeowners in Pontchartrain Park still owned their homes when Katrina struck. Now they stand to get less money from the government for damage to their homes because they lived in a black neighborhood -- when some of them lived in a black neighborhood because the government previously restricted their movements.
Again, your point about original purchase price has validity. But it's a little more complex that.
nolafun, I want to yell out BINGO! when I see your comment. Location, location, location does indeed determine real-estate value, but location has no bearing on what it costs to rebuild. The Road Home Program was mostly billed as a rebuilding program. Its website says, "Our program helps residents of Louisiana affected by Hurricane Katrina or Rita get back into their homes."
Judge Henry Kennedy repeatedly asked the state to explain why officials chose to derive a formula using real estate value for a rebuilding program. They never gave the judge an answer.
bistfe, I'm unsure why your focus -- and the focus of some others on this forum -- is on insurance. Whether you assume everybody had insurance or you assume nobody did, the amount of money you got to rebuild was still derived from "value," not cost.
I've looked at the original complaint filed in court. It doesn't say if the plaintiffs had insurance or not. I can't assume one way or the other. Know, though, that 67 percent of homes in New Orleans had flood insurance before Katrina. The only other place in the country where that was higher -- Miami-Dade County, Fla. -- had 68 percent. So where are the assumptions coming from that people here didn't have the necessary insurance?
As for what the government's obligation was, the fact remains: the government created this program. If two people had houses that cost the same amount to build, had the same amount of insurance, had equivalent damage and needed to buy the same amount of materials, is it right when the government gives them disparate amounts of money?
The judge's opinion matters most. His answer? No.
swanka, I brought up Abbey Lincoln to get to her quote about the importance of standing up for something. Mentioning a black person is hardly "race-baiting." As for left-wing ideology: If the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act and Martin Luther King's so-called "I Have a Dream Speech" count as such, I'm guilty.
Using a quote by a black person on the way to talking about Katrina in no way makes Katrina's destruction an exclusively black catastrophe. In no way does that suggest that white people didn't suffer. I quoted George Costanza of Seinfeld in a recent column, but that didn't mean I was writing about something black people shouldn't care about. Good sense is good sense. Wisdom is wisdom. What Abbey Lincoln says applies to every New Orleanian standing up in defense of his/her city, regardless of race.
All the time.
There are more than two schools that the OPSB manages. There's Ben Franklin Elementary, Bethune, McDonogh 35 and McMain. The School Board also oversees some charter schools. And there is indeed a listing on the OPSB's website: http://www.nops.k12.la.us/pages/our_schools
To your other issue, though, you hit on something that many parents experience: the frustration of navigating the system. That's what I was addressing when I mentioned the new need for sophistication. There's no more waiting till the last minute or driving up to the closest school. Getting a child into school here now takes a strategy and a certain perseverance.
That sounds like a good idea, marignymatt: giving so-called oversubscribed schools more money. That is, if you believe that what can be done on a small scale can be duplicated on a larger one. I think one of the selling points of charter schools, though, is the smaller, more manageable size. So there might be some charter officials who say, "No, we can't get any bigger than this," lest they become what they oppose: big and unwieldy.
Tax Attorney, you misrepresent me when you call me a "reporter." While my job includes reporting, I am a columnist and editorial writer. That means that what you read here is my opinion. Opinions, by the very fact that they are opinions, are "biased." I'm taking one side, yes. And that side is that New Orleans and the metro area need to be concerned about the poor.
The project being proposed at Bethany Home is not public housing. So there's no need to bring up that issue in this discussion. (Besides, it's my general belief that huge public housing complexes have been proved to be a very bad idea.)
This issue is quite simple: Do we support efforts to provide housing to the most vulnerable among us, or do we let them die on the streets?
lawdawg19635, I gave you what I know. This is what our reporters found out and printed in Sunday's paper: In 2003, Scheuermann supervised a group of more than a dozen officers who conducted a questionable search-and-seizure. Scheuermann ordered two female officers to search the buttocks and vaginas of three females -- a 51-year-old, a 23-year-old and a 1-year-old. The police said they were looking for a shotgun, a rifle, two body armor vests, two license plates, a flashlight and a holster. None of those items were located, according to police records. The city later paid out $45,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging Scheuermann and the other officers violated the family's civil rights.
I left off the holster and flashlight, neither of which I imagine can be tucked away in a pair of buttocks or a vagina. There's no embroidering there.
bulchips, try as I might, I can't find a Times-Picayune editorial that embraces the Lagasse-era board and dismisses Lagasse as mediocre. Nor can I find an editorial that calls him mediocre. I did find a 7/24/02 editorial after voters rejected a sales-tax measure. In that editorial the paper writes, "What really hurts the children of Jefferson Parish is the lack of leadership on the part of its School Board and administration. Rather than making difficult choices, the board and administration seem to prefer looking for a bailout."
I think it's unfair, then, to say that the editorial board switched and became hostile to the board because we don't want to criticize Diane Roussel. You might be interested to know that in a 10/10/03 editorial, we chided the School Board for trying to extend Rousel's contract after she'd only been on the job four months. We had also been critical of the way the board hired Roussel without considering any candidates from outside the school system.
My columns on the admissions scandal are about the admissions scandal. They are not intended as an evaluation of Diane Roussel's overall leadership. In fact, I had never even mentioned her name in a column until this scandal became news. So it's not fair to suggest that I'm any kind of cheerleader of hers. Making this about the superintendent, I think, is a way of distracting us from what Patricia Wilty is accused of having done.
Regarding Ms. Wilty, you say we are trying her in the press. I disagree. I say we're going where the facts lead.
bulchips, from our Oct. 21 story:
Testing, scoring and admissions lists are handled by principals and teachers of the magnet schools. After teachers administer and score the tests, principals rank students in descending order, using admission test scores, report card grades and standardized test scores. After the candidates are ranked, principals generate an acceptance list, a wait list, a provisional acceptance list and a denial list, which are reviewed by Mathes and Howard's compliance office.
After the admissions controversy heated up in recent days, Roussel suggested centralizing the magnet-admissions process. That proposal needs approval from the School Board, where it probably will be taken up before the end of the year.
Morgan said Tuesday it's an idea he suggested to Roussel in 2008 that the board never acted on.
"It was a burden on principals, '' Morgan said of the testing issue. "I identified this as a potential problem two years ago, and the superintendent and Mathes refused. The irony is that when I introduced it, all of the problems they are citing occurred after that.''
That's an acknowledgement from Morgan himself that the decisions regarding admissions are made at the school level. He even calls it burdensome on the principals. That's why it continues to puzzle me that so many people are trying to make this scandal be about somebody other than the principal and make it be about the people at the top. If teachers and the principal at Gretna #2 cheated and passed to their higher-ups the names of students who'd benefitted from that cheating, I'm not sure that it's fair to say the superintendent and her staff are as culpable.
If there's information that reveals that Roussel and her staff knew or should have known the process was rigged, I won't hesitate to write about that. But again, going back to the structure -- the one that Morgan says he thought put all the burden on the principals -- it looks like the principal is getting the most blame because the principal generated the list.
If it's anti-woman, direct your anger toward the lawyer who gave that justification, not toward me. I was stating the facts of the case as Sean Hunter's lawyer sees them and also summarizing the third chapter of Genesis.

Local vigil held in commemoration of Trayvon Martin
Della Hendon has the most bittersweet voicemail a mother can receive: Gunshots followed by silence. It's the sound of her son's death.
So when Hendon says she watches Trayvon Martin's mother talk about her son's death and feels her pain, she's not lying. Hendon spoke at a Sanford vigil Saturday evening in commemoration of the Florida teen whose killing sparked national interest, held at at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park at the corner of Horner Boulevard and Washington Avenue, where Hendon said she had never told anyone but her husband about that voicemail before.
It was terrible because it was the sound of her son dying, she said. But even though she didn't get the late-night call itself, she was still able to be there in spirit afterward, listening to her child's last breath and knowing she was the last person he was thinking of.
The Sanford native who now lives in Virginia was back in her hometown Saturday to speak about her 24-year-old son's death from gun violence. But she was also there to preach in favor of community and salvation.
Hendon said she prays every day for the 50 witnesses who all refused to testify against the man who walked up to her son Dimitri at a party and shot him in the head and chest while he was sitting on the couch. She also prays for the man who killed her son.
"I pray every day that he finds God before someone kills him," she said, adding that faith in the Lord is the best solution to stopping the black-on-black crime that devastates many neighborhoods and families. Her son wasn't a model citizen himself, she admits, but Hendon said she believes Dimitri might still be alive if he had found God, and that many other lives can still be saved through the church.
"My son felt he wasn't worthy of God because of the things he was doing and the places he was going," she said. "But I told him he only needed to repent. ... You can be saved. It's not as complicated as some people make it seem."
When George Zimmerman was acquitted last week in Martin's death, many across the country called for a review of self-defense laws as well broader topics like crime, racism and community. Such an outcry was the general theme of Saturday's vigil, which had 30-40 attendees and was part of a national push to hold similar vigils in major cities on Saturday. It was put on by Workers for Clean Water, a Lee County group which usually organizes people to oppose fracking. But many of its supporters are minorities, and organizers said they couldn't stand by and ignore racism and violence simply because doing so wasn't included in the name of their group.
Co-founders Janeth Benitez and Cecilia Jiminez spoke Saturday along with fellow organizer Reginald Marsh Jr., who said the event should be the beginning of a community conversation and coalescence — not the end.
"Don't let this be the last time we come together," Marsh said. "Let us carry on. White, black, Hispanic, whatever. Young, old, babies, dogs. ... Can we pledge to be a real community? C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y. There's 'unity' in 'community.'"
Benitez said has felt like a victim of personal bias in Sanford many times, but she said there's also institutional biases, especially in the justice system and education. So she urged people to not just complain to family and friends, or to ignore injustices, but to attend Sanford City Council and Lee County Commissioner meetings and otherwise get involved to voice their opinions and be proactive.
"This place, compared to a lot of places I've been, is backward," Benitez said. "And we need to change it."
Ervin Fox, president of the Lee County NAACP and candidate for Sanford City Council, said the country does need to examine gun laws and self-defense laws. But individuals also need to examine how they're raising their children, he said.
"Young people need to learn more respect," Fox said. "If you get stopped by law enforcement, don't be rowdy. He has the authority. You need to behave."

Diagnosis and Prognosis of Thyroid Cancer
Review of Medical History
Physical Exam
Blood Tests
- Thyroglobulin—best blood test for papillary and follicular cancers
- PET proto-oncogene—test for those with known or suspected medullary cancer
Diagnostic Testing
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- Radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test – A radioactive substance called a tracer (usually iodine or technetium) is taken in either a liquid or capsule. It is absorbed by the thyroid gland from the bloodstream. Then, a special probe measures the amount of radioactive substance absorbed by the thyroid gland. The amount of uptake can help diagnose thyroid abnormalities.
- Radioactive octreotide scan—A radioactively tagged hormone called somatostatin is given. This hormone attaches to certain tumors because—compared with normal, noncancerous tissue—many neuroendocrine tumors have much higher concentrations of somatostatin receptors. After the hormone is given, a special machine is used to recognize the radioisotope and produce a hot spot where the tumor is located.
- TX: Tumor cannot be evaluated.
- T0: There is no evidence of tumor.
- T1: Thyroid tumor is 2 centimeters (cm) or less.
- T2: Thyroid tumor is 2 cm to 4 cm, and within the thyroid.
- T3: The thyroid tumor is larger than 4 cm and within the thyroid, or any tumor that has minimal extension outside of the thyroid.
The thyroid tumor has spread beyond the thyroid and involves other neighboring tissues within the neck. All anaplastic thyroid cancers are considered T4 tumors. Tumors may be divided to T4a and T4b.
Note: All anaplastic thyroid cancers are considered T4 tumors, with T4a being surgically resectable and T4b being surgically unresectable.
- T4a: This refers to a thyroid tumor regardless of size, which extends beyond the capsule surrounding the thyroid gland invading the esophagus, trachea, and larynx .
- T4b: The thyroid tumor invades blood vessels (the carotid artery or blood vessels in chest) and the covering around the vertebrae.
- NX: Nodes cannot be evaluated.
- N0: There are no cancer cells in the regional lymph nodes.
- N1: There are cancer cells in lymph nodes of the neck (cervical lymph nodes) or upper chest (upper mediastinal lymph nodes). N1 nodes may be divided to N1a and N1b, depending on the distance from the thyroid.
- MX: Presence of metastasis cannot be evaluated.
- M0: There is no distant metastasis.
- M1: There is distant metastasis, such as to distant lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and/or brain.
- T1-3, N1a, M0
- T4a, N0-N1a, M0
- T1-4a, N1, M0
- T4b, any N, M0
- T1-4, any N, M1

Carmel is the Number 1 City for Romance in America
In 2014, Carmel was rated the third most romantic city in the world, which made the picturesque seaside town the number one city in America for romance, according to a Travel + Leisure survey. Carmel-by-the-Sea has all of the elements required of romance: beautiful scenery, long beaches for strolling arm in arm, romantic restaurants, fine wine and charming Carmel inns to call home during your stay.
Romance in Carmel is not new, though. The town's romantic magnetism has made for some memorable moments in cinema. The beaches, scenic drives and sunsets have been featured in many films including the love embrace on the sand scene (with Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster) in From Here to Eternity in which a beach at Big Sur doubles for a beach in Hawaii.
Carmel = Romance? Eastwood Knew In '71
Carmel's charm is undeniable - a haven for lovers of all variety: lovers of nature, art, writing, craft, wine and food. The town has been attracting couples, newlyweds, and lovers since there was a thing called love, and a town called "Carmel".
In 1971, Clint Eastwood knew the charm of the town he would call home and one day preside over as mayor.
Back then, Eastwood was a burgeoning actor and director. In the '71 movie Play Misty for Me (his directorial debut), Eastwood featured many parts of the Carmel and Monterey area including Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, Monterey Fair Grounds (specifically the Monterey Jazz Festival), Carmel Valley, and the Pacific Coast Highway.
Carmel and Monterey might be called the film's co-stars and it would not have been the same without the pounding surf and arm-in-arm beach stroll of lovers Dave and Tobie (Clint Eastwood and Donna Mills) that was depicted in one of the most memorable montage sequences ever shot. Though the movie was a romantic-thriller, a genre Eastwood handled with aplomb, it wasn't the scary bits that elicited so much emotion in the theaters - it was the romantic montage shot in Big Sur, backed by Roberta Flack's soulful, longing-filled singing of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. The sequence had moviegoers openly weeping - even men - snuffling their tears surreptitiously behind popcorn boxes, pretending that a throat-stuck kernel of corn was the cause of their sniffling and sputtering. It is a mesmerizing and deeply emotional 5 minutes and 13 seconds of film. They don't make romance montages like that anymore. As a result of the movie, and Flack's lush, tender and patient rendition, the song was a hit, shooting to #1 on the Billboard Top 100 where it stayed for six weeks, though two years before, Flack had released it in her '69 debut album "First Take" with little notice from the public.
For your listening pleasure, here is "that montage scene" in most of its glory. Unfortunately, the YouTuber had to adjust the image as to not trip copyright filters, but you'll see the scenes, and hear the heartbreaking song. We at Monte Verde Inn and Casa de Carmel highly recommend this movie even if just for this beautiful montage, the lovely song, and accompanying romantic scenes of Big Sur. If a marriage proposal ensues, please allow us an "I told you so".

Texas pastor launches website for clergy fashionistas
There was a time when clergy were known for clerical collars and ornate liturgical vestments. However, since the rise of Evangelicalism in the 20th century, pastors are better known for baggy business suits than for unique spiritual garb. Certainly, pastors are not known for their sense of style. Well-known, outspoken and arguably fashion-forward, Pastor Ed […] [Read More]

Samantha Crain
Anais Nin said, "Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it." That suggestion was the muse impelling the conception of Samantha Crain's second LP, You (Understood). Each song on this album rests on a juncture with a person, a real person, and it recounts a particular episode of life with that person. The scenes and the people are not especially unusual or stirring but the idea that the precise installment will never, in all of time, happen again was enough to interest Crain. She is taking a microscope to the simplest of human interactions and feelings, turning them over in her hands, looking at them from all angles, measuring them on all sides, and taking them apart, realizing they really are exceptional but only in the smallest ways. For a project that engages in so much dissection, Crain solicited Joey Lemon, producer of her Confiscation EP and guru of the Midwestern avant-garde band, Berry, to help her glue it all back together. They, along with Eric Nauni (Student Film) and Ben Wigler (Arizona, New Beard), recorded the eleven songs in 7 days at Joey's studio in a white pole barn on the north side of Wichita, KS. Feeling the importance of giving each of these songs a sound as customized as the experiences and the people themselves, Crain reached out for different tools than on the country-tinged Songs In the Night LP. The guitars got fuzzier, the time signatures got modified, the drums got audacious, the spaces got bigger, the highs were higher, and the lows were lower. She got caught up in it, caught up in the decibels and the dynamics and the people. This is her attempt to preserve her contact with some human beings, 16 to be exact. There are 16 people that affected her through the writing and recording of these songs and You (Understood) is her monument to those sporadic and revered chapters.

HONOLULU (September 2, 2012) -- No. 6 Hawaii's (5-0) Emily Hartong totaled 18 kills en route to a 3-0 (25-17, 25-13, 25-19) win over Baylor (4-1) before a crowd of 6,339 at the Stan Sheriff Center Saturday night on day two of the Hawiian Airlines Wahine Classic.
"Hawaii's serve really had us on our heels," head coach Jim Barnes said. "I thought we did a better job of receiving and fighting in set three and early in two, but credit Hawaii because they are a great team."
Alyssa Dibbern and Laura Jones each totaled six kills, while Thea Munch-Soegaard led the defensive effort for BU with seven digs. Hawaii hit .372 on the night, while Baylor managed just a .089 hitting percentage.
Baylor jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the opening set and held a 10-9 advantage before the Wahine went on a 10-3 run, taking the first set 25-17.
The Bears took a brief 7-6 lead in game two, but that was all the closer they would come, eventually succumbing to Hawaii's .406 hitting percentage and 17 kills and falling 25-13.
The Bears took a 5-0 run and made it a 5-1 lead early in the third. Maintaining an advantage for much of the set, Hawaii took a 17-16 lead, forcing a BU timeout, but the Bears would get no closer falling 25-19 in the third set. Baylor had a match-high 13 kills to go with a .211 hitting percentage, but the Wahine had a match-best .412 mark of their own to claim the game and match.
The Bears will be back in action on Saturday, taking on San Francisco at 8:00 p.m. CT.

This is an incredible book. I wish I had it entering college, I was quite overwhelmed and could have used some sort of blueprint or a CLUE. This is a steal for anyone who picks it up. I probably wouldn't be 25 and still in county college if it was published 7 years ago!

Graphic Novel Reporter
Looking for graphic novel reviews but don't know where to start? Do you want to start a graphic novel collection in your library but don't know what to buy? Want to find a comic book shop in your area? Well, the Graphic Novel Reporter website may be for you.
Graphic Novel Reporter contains everything, from reviews of comic titles to places where you can buy them. The reviews are divided into categories according to age: adult, teen, and kid. The reviews themselves give a brief summary of the book along with any warnings or concerns about content. A neat feature of the reviews includes links to related books as well as links to other titles written by the author. If you want to actually buy graphic novels, the Comic Shop Locator will give you a list of places in your area, searched by zip code. Click on a shop and you will get an address, phone number, hours of operation, and a list of the comic brands they carry.
For those wanting to start a collection in their library, there are core lists for all ages. Divided into lists of manga and graphic novels for kids, adults, and teens, the lists are updated every six months, with titles both new and old. There are also "Best of" lists for the past three years. Core lists are also downloadable.
Other cool features include a manga glossary for commonly used terms, an Events and Conventions page for upcoming shows in the world of comics (such as the San Diego Comic Con), discussion guides for a small handful of comic titles, and interviews with artists, writers, and publishers.
I found this website a good place to start, especially in regards to core lists for libraries. Because it is continually getting updated, you'll be sure to see newer titles mixed in with classics in the genre. While it doesn't have reviews for every title in the comics universe (and I haven't met a site yet that does), it does have a broad range of titles for all ages. It's certainly worth a look.
