Throughout the fellowship, you will alternate between rotations in the EEG laboratory and epilepsy inpatient and outpatient services.
A basic knowledge of EEG provided by a previous one year clinical neurophysiology or EEG fellowship is preferred. EEG experience is included in your training. During the time spent in the EEG lab, you will interpret a large number of EEG records from adults and children with epilepsy and other disorders. You will be given increasingly independent responsibility to oversee complex problems, take emergency call, oversee and perform prolonged EEG and surgical monitoring, teach new residents, and present lectures and seminars.
You will be exposed to a variety of seizure problems, the monitoring techniques used to evaluate patients with seizure disorders (including prolonged monitoring and ambulatory monitoring), and presurgical and intraoperative electrocorticography studies.
During the time spent on the epilepsy service, you will care for patients on the inpatient epilepsy monitoring service, and see patients in the epilepsy outpatient clinic and the hospital epilepsy consulting service.
The schedule of clinical activities is designed to achieve a balance between outpatient and inpatient care, and to ensure that you have experience with different aspects of epilepsy care. You will work with both adult and pediatric patients, and will be involved with drug therapy and/or surgical treatment for new-onset seizures or for refractory epilepsy. You also will participate in:
The rotations are designed so you will have gradually increasing responsibilities in these areas. By the end of your fellowship, you should be able to perform these activities independently.
Clinical conferences, lectures, lecture-demonstrations, seminars, small discussion groups, and one-on-one instruction are all an integral part of Mayo Clinic's fellowship programs. You will have the opportunity to attend conferences in the EEG laboratory and a weekly multidisciplinary epilepsy surgery conference. In addition, a patient problem-oriented Journal Club for epilepsy and EEG meets on alternate months.
You also can attend other weekly seminars and conferences in neurology, neuropathology and pediatric neurology.
Opportunities for teaching and research also are available.
You are encouraged to complete at least one investigative project during your training. The type of research project you select will depend on your interests and capabilities and the time available in your program. Opportunities are available for collaborative studies with other clinical and basic science sections at Mayo Clinic.
Epilepsy research is conducted at all three Mayo Clinic sites. Mayo Clinic research led to significant developments in MRI techniques that are now used widely in the selection of patients for epilepsy surgery.
When you complete your research, you will be expected to present it at a scientific meeting or prepare it for publication in a scientific journal. This experience teaches you how to comprehend and critically evaluate other reported investigations and gain insight into the conduct and principles of research.

Penis discharge occurs when fluid leaks from your penis. Both the thickness and color (milky white, greenish, or yellow) of the discharge may vary. The discharge may result from an infection, including a sexually transmitted infection. Urethritis is the term used to refer to inflammation of the urethra due to any cause, which is often accompanied by penis discharge.
Penis discharge can be accompanied by bloody or pink-colored urine (hematuria), itching, rash, redness, or swelling. Penis discharge can be extremely uncomfortable and create difficulty with daily living, sexual relations, and urination. In addition to symptoms in and around your penis, it can occur with flu-like symptoms (fatigue, fever, sore throat, headache, cough, aches and pains) and poor health in general.
Balanitis, an inflammation of the foreskin in uncircumcised boys or men, which is due to poor hygiene, infection, or irritation, may be associated with penis discharge.Seek immediate medical care
if you have penis discharge accompanied by high fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit), redness and swelling spreading into the groin, or severe testicular pain. Penis discharge is usually not an emergency, but it may be a sign of a disease that can be transmitted to others. Seek prompt medical care if symptoms persist or cause you concern.
What other symptoms might occur with penis discharge?
Penis discharge may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition.
Genitourinary symptoms that may occur along with penis dischargePenis discharge may accompany other symptoms affecting the genitourinary system including:

My two-year old daughter just loves ducks and this tiny mallard was designed with her in mind. He stands about 3 inches tall and was made with 100% acrylic yarn.
I submitted him for the 2012 amigurumi calendar contest. Wish him luck!
This is so cute! I want to learn to crochet. How could I get the pattern for this adorable toy? I'm going to be a gramma next March and would like to make it as a baby gift..
@rosemariewg - I do have the pattern written down, but it's not yet formatted as I would like to have it when I actually sell my patterns. I will definitely put a note on this page when the pattern is ready. In the mean time, you can also check out my Ravelry pattern shop ( http://www.ravelry.com/stores/the-itsy-bitsy-spider )
Thanks for the kind comment! You've really inspired me to get to work on getting that pattern ready for sale!
P.S. The ducky did not make it for the crochwt calendar :-( There were some really amazing entries though and I wish them all the best.
I just found your darling duck - please post the pattern so I can buy it - I have a 2 year old grandson in Nigeria who is duck-crazy and I'd love to make this for him. Thanks!
I'd really love to purchase the Mallard Pattern if you have it ready. I'm on Ravalry too (JUST joined) WillowDreamer is my handle. I see the fairy tree and the very cute purple monkey but no mallard. Do you think that might be ready soon?
Do you sell the pattern. I have a new born baby whose theme are mallard ducks. I woul dlove
to make him one.

Barletta contends that Obama's flagrant disregard for the Constitution may have created an atmosphere in which he could lose the White House. Whether that actually happens is of course another story entirely.
"He's just absolutely ignoring the Constitution, and ignoring the laws and ignoring the checks and balances," Barletta opined June 16 on News Radio 910 WSBA with Gary Sutton.
The impeachment discussion came after Sutton and Barletta addressed illegal immigration. Sutton made the point that the president was not "faithfully executing the laws of this country." In agreement, Barletta said, "Well we have a president that has taken this to a new level."
Barletta went on to mention that lawmakers could respond to President Obama's disregard for the Constitution through impeachment. "For those that say impeach him for breaking the laws or bypassing the laws — could that pass in the House? It probably could," Barletta said.
Obama's treatment of the issue of illegal immigration is just one of many misdeeds that have led some to engage in a discussion of impeachment.
Earlier this month, President Obama angered lawmakers, including members of his own party, and more importantly, the American people, when he failed to inform Congress of the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and Taliban prisoner swap. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) loudly expressed her outrage and accused the president of "totally breaking the law."
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned that Republicans could call for President Obama's impeachment if he released any more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval. "There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that," said Graham.
This is not the first time lawmakers have threatened President Obama with impeachment, and the threats have come from not just the GOP.
In 2011, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that he believed Obama's actions in Libya constituted "an impeachable offense" because "the President committed the U.S. to military intervention without consulting Congress, in clear subversion of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives only Congress the power to declare war."
Appearing at this year's Western Conservative Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, even actor Steven Seagal reiterated the various reasons to consider impeachment charges against this president:

Nueces pledges not to seize land
County among 1st to respond to the high court decision
The resolution is believed to be the first passed by a county or municipality in Texas since a June 23 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that allows local governments to seize property for private economic development.
Officials at both the Texas Municipal League and the Texas Association of Counties have said they are not aware of any resolution that has passed since the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo et al. v. City of New London, Conn.
In general, the ruling allows local governments to seize property for the greater public good, including private economic development and more tax revenue.
Commissioner Chuck Cazalas put a resolution on the agenda specifically addressing the court case and saying the county did not intend to use powers expanded by the case to seize private property for private economic development.
Initially, the commissioners tabled the resolution, but after a lunch break they revisited the issue and unanimously approved a modified version of the resolution that doesn't specifically mention the case in the conclusion of the resolution.
The modification came after county Judge Terry Shamsie said the resolution did not match the Supreme Court's decision, which he said was about seizing land for the "greater public good."
Shamsie said, "Has anyone read the opinion? Would you be willing to give approval to build a prison in a rural area? How about buy houses so (Christus) Spohn (Health System) can build a bigger driveway? We do this. It's not as simple as the media is reporting. I don't know how we can vote on something if you haven't read all the opinions."
Cazalas said, "I appreciate that, judge, but really the Constitution is clear. It gives us the right to own property."
Commissioners Peggy Banales and Betty Jean Longoria said before lunch that they wanted to read the Supreme Court's decision before passing a resolution that specifically addressed the Kelo v. City of New London case.
Commissioners Ortiz, Longoria, Banales as well as Shamsie all agreed after lunch that the resolution could be passed if specific mention of the Kelo case was left out of the last paragraph of the initial draft of the resolution.

I Was Once Trapped Like This For 11 Years! Never Again!!!I am a very straight male that was married to a very prudish and controlling woman that would not wear any lingerie, play, or do anything sexually fun between us once married. Her idea of telling me she wanted to be intimate was to take a bath ALONE in her garden tub that could seat 3 people; shave her legs, and come to bed naked with my tube socks on her feet and a towel wrapped around her head. Being a man give me a naked woman and it worked for a little while, but as the years built and every time I tried to discuss or bring home lingerie to spice up our love life. I was told I am not her ***** and that she was returning the purchased items, and did so. It got to where I could careless to kiss her *** when the stars, sun, moon, planets, and heavens all alined just right for her to bless me with my tube socks and towel. Hell that started me buying my own lingerie and things to see what the draw was to me, and I wore them when by myself. She decided to divorce me though I never cheated for a doctor in a hospital where she worked as an RN. She got breast augmentations cut down 40 pounds in weight for the good doctor while taking me to the cleaners.
So now I have my life back, and I am seeking a lady that has a desire to be intimate at least daily; to share our fetishes and love lives as well as life goals together.
I WIL NEVER be bound to a sexless relationship ever again. I won't cheat on her, but I will damn sure leave her!!!

Salutory lesson here.
As the refused spouse you might not want to divorce, because of (insert your reason here). But you are only one half of the equation and if your spouse strikes pre-emptively, then whether you want a divorce or not matters not a rats arse.
Be prepared.
ILIASM people here don't say "see a lawyer, get an exit plan" just to pass the time.
Tread your own path.


text: UPDATED 12:35 20th June 2014 ALBION fought off competition from a host of clubs to sign England international defender Joleon Lescott in June 2014. The centre-half, who officially joined on a Bosman transfer the following month, penned a two-year contract plus a further performance-related year's option. He arrived at the club as a free agent having seen his five-year stay at Manchester City end with a second Barclays Premier League winners' medal in three seasons. Lescott, who has 26 England caps to his name, also lifted the FA Cup and League Cup during his time at the Etihad Stadium and boasts a wealth of experience in European competition. He became Alan Irvine's first signing less than a week after he was announced as the Baggies' new Head Coach – with the pair reunited following their successful time together at Everton. Lescott, 6ft 2in, was scouted by Wolves as a youngster and made his senior debut, aged 17, against Sheffield Wednesday at Molineux in August 2000. Fans voted him young player of the year, an accolade that was repeated the following season. He helped Wanderers reach the Premier League by beating Sheffield United 3-0 in the 2004 play-off final at Cardiff but had to sit out the next season after major knee surgery, and the team were relegated. He returned to fitness to claim the player of the year award and was snapped up by Everton for £5million, making his Goodison Park debut in August 2006. Regular accolades followed, particularly in 2007/08 when he weighed in with ten goals in all competitions. On the international scene, Lescott won caps at Under-18s, Under-20s, Under-21s and England B levels before being called up for the senior squad by Steve McClaren in September 2007. He made his debut as a substitute in a 3-0 win over Estonia a month later. In August 2009 City splashed out £22million for his services. He was a strong contender for England's 2010 World Cup squad but his 2009/10 campaign was disrupted by injury and, when he missed the last nine games of the season, Fabio Capello omitted him from his 30-strong provisional squad. Lescott returned to the fold under Roy Hodgson for Euro 2012 and was one of the Three Lions' most consistent performers during his three appearances in Poland and Ukraine. Former Baggies boss Hodgson had clearly been impressed with the partnership Lescott had formed with Vincent Kompany in City's title-winning campaign in 2011/12, with the pair contributing to the best defensive record in the division. He found fewer opportunities coming his way in his final two seasons at the Etihad Stadium due to the signings of Matija Nastasic and Martin Demichelis. In total Lescott has made 538 career appearances, including 30 as a substitute, scoring 39 times prior to his Albion switch.LAST UPDATED JULY 8, 2014

In my Glide docking results I am seeing multiple very similar poses for a given ligand. I thought Glide was supposed to eliminate poses with RMSD less than 0.5 Å or maximum atom displacement less than 1.3 Å, but the poses I am looking at are clearly closer than those cutoff criteria. What is happening here?
Glide has a clustering algorithm that is applied to the final poses in order to only show diverse poses. The default criteria are 0.5 Å RMSD and 1.3 Å maximum atom displacement. However, these settings can be changed in the Advanced Settings dialog in the Output tab of the Glide Docking GUI, so check to see if those settings have been changed.
Another possibility is if you are saving more than 10 poses, the symmetry calculation is turned off. With the symmetry calculation turned off it is possible for symmetric groups to look very similar but produce high RMSD and/or maximum atom displacement values. For Suite 2012, the default number of poses for performing the symmetry checking was increased to 100, and this value can be set with a new keyword, NMAXRMSSYM, in the Glide input file.A third possibility is that pose elimination was performed prior to post-docking minimization. In some cases, poses that were not considered duplicates before minimization converged to the same structure, resulting in duplicates. In Suite 2012, a test was added to eliminate duplicates after post-docking minimization.

SHEET 2 OF 2 REFRACTORY METAL HOT-JUNCTION THERMOCOUPLE This invention relates to thermocouples.
As is known, a thermocouple comprises a weld or junction between two wires made of different metals and placed at the measuring point (the hot junction) and two welds or cold junctions disposed at the other end of the wires, in a medium at a reference temperature.
An e.m.f. occurs at the two junctions, the difference therein being proportional to the temperature difference between the points in question (Seebeck effect).
In conventional thermocouples the hot junction (e.g., iron-constantan, copper-constantan, chromiumalumel, platinum and platinuntcontaining rhodium, etc.) is produced by simple autogenous welding of two wires. or by arc welding, or by a capacitor discharge, etc. The metal welds are sufficiently ductile to ensure that, under good conditions, the thermocouples withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses to which they are subjected during operation.
The situation is different for thermocouples made of refractory metals, more particularly tungsten wires containing or 26% rhenium, which are welded at a temperature approaching 3,000C, and for which crystallisation effects are such that the weld has practically no mechanical strength.
Attempts have been made to weld tungsten-rhenium thermocouples in the manner described, at a point at the end of the two wires, but the wires cannot be manipulated and, when they are sheathed, the more fragile wire breaks at the slightest thermal stress.
Attempts have also been made to obviate stresses by inserting a smaller-diameter wire between the thermocouple elements. In another method, the wires are given mechanical strength by twisting, the welds merely acting as an electric contact. The first method can be used only when the two wires are kept stationary with respect to one another, which is certainly not the case in bare couples, and in any case ajunction of this kind cannot be obtained with sheathed thermocouples. The second method gives good results if one can be certain that the junction will not be subjected to any stress. It has been found that when sheathed thermocouples are mounted vertically, which is nearly always the case, the ceramic beads expand less than the sheath and consequently stress the junction and break a thermocouple clement at the place where it emerges from an insulating head.
The invention sets out to obviate these disadvantages and improve the method of manufacturing junctions. To this end the invention provides a hot-junction thermocouple comprising conducting wires insulated by ceramic beads protected by a metal sheath, characterised in that a noble-metal crimping element is crimped on the twisted hot junction and secured in the metal sheath.
According to another feature of the invention, the crimping element is secured in a sleeve disposed in the sheath. If the thermocouple needs to comprise an earthed point, one end of the crimping element is welded to the metal sheath.
The most suitable substances for crimping are niobium and rhenium, refractory metals having a melting point higher than the temperature at which the thermocouple is used. They do not form a eutectic with the conducting wires below the operating temperature, and
are highly ductile so that they can be crimped when cold and are also sufficiently ductile when hot.
The following description refers to embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates the general case of a prior art thermocouple illustrating the normal manner in which a hot junction breaks;
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic longitudinal section through a thermocouple according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-section through FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic longitudinal section through another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a general view of a thermocouple mounted on a rod; and
FIG. 6 shows a calibration curve for thermocouple wires.
FIG. 1 shows a sheathed thermocouple 1 used in a vertical position and having a hot junction 2. Ceramic beads 3 expand less than metal sheath 4 and consequently slide in it and stress the hot junction 2, which frequently breaks at point 5.
In FIG. 2, a thermocouple 1 according to the invention comprises a twisted hot junction 2 of two wires, one being straight and the other coiled about and spaced from the straight wire and joined at their ends on which a refractory-metal crimping element 6 is mounted on the coiled wire and serves as a spacer between the last bead 3 and a welded end 7 closing the metal sheath 4. Consequently, the hot junction 2 is subjected to any stresses resulting from differences between the expansion of beads 3 and sheath 4. If the thermocouple is used when the sheath is earthed (FIG. 2), the weld between element 6 and end 7 satisfies the last-mentioned condition perfectly.
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of thermocouple 1 across beads 3, and illustrates the conventional arrangement of two conductors 8 and 9.
FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which thermocouple 1 should be insulated from earth 4. In this case, the hot junction 2 is crimped with a crimping element 6 having a reduced cross-section and sliding in a ceramic sleeve 10 adapted to the inner diameter of metal sheath 4. Sleeve 10 serves as a spacer between beads 3 and welded end 7, thus ensuring that the thermocouple is sealing-tight. Consequently, crimping element 6 and sleeve [0 relieve the hot junction 2 from all stress and the sleeve itself provides the required insulation. In the present example, the metals used for manufacturing the crimping element 6 are niobium and rhenium. These metals have the advantage of having a melting-point above the temperature at which the thermocouple is used and of not forming a eutectic with the conducting wires below this temperature. They are highly ductile, which facilitates cold crimping, and are sufficiently ductile when hot. Niobium can be used at temperatures up to 2,000C and rhenium can be used up to 3,000C.
In order to obviate the need for a very long sheath 4 made ofa noble refractory metal, according to another feature of the invention the sheath is connected to an intermediate casing 12 secured to a sheath 14 made e.g., of stainless steel.
Sheaths 4, 14 are welded to half-elements 12a, 12b respectively of casing 12 at corresponding brazing points 12c and 12d. Reservoirs such as 13 filled with an wires.

Morgan Montemayor
March 16, 2013
AUBURN, Ala. – Kaylee Puailoa went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs as the No. 25 University of Georgia softball handed the Auburn Tigers a 2-0 loss on Saturday, March 16 in front of a sun-drenched crowd at Jane B. Moore Field in Auburn, Ala. The win gives Georgia its 20th win of the season to improve it to 20-7 and 2-0 in Southeastern Conference action. Auburn drops to 20-9 on the season and 1-4 in the SEC.
Morgan Montemayor pitched a gem, allowing just four hits in the complete game shutout. She also struck out six. Marcy Harper suffered the loss to fall to 10-3 on the year, giving up two runs on six hits and one walk. She also struck out seven.
Auburn got a pair of base runners in the bottom of the first, but a strikeout and a pop out ended the scoring threat.
After four scoreless innings and a combined four hits, the Bulldogs scored the first run of the game in the top of the fifth. Puailoa led off the inning with towering home run to straight away center field to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead. Tess Sito followed with a triple off the wall in right center, but was thrown out at home as Christine Olney hit into a double play.
Auburn got a pair of base runners in the top of the sixth on a single to right, but Montemayor settled in to get the final batter to fly out to Olney in left.
Georgia added an insurance run and increased its lead to 2-0 in the top of the seventh when Puailoa lifted the ball over the centerfield wall for the second time. The hit was the third hit of the game for Puailoa. Olney followed with a double off the top of the wall in right center before Katie Browne was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second with one away. The Bulldogs were unable to tack on another run, as the final two outs were recorded.
Georgia and Auburn will face off tomorrow in the final game of the series. First pitch is slated for 2 p.m. ET.

Too Bad!" and won the 2006 John Bartlow Martin Award for Public Interest, Magazine Journalism, for the same story. In 2013 she won her second National Magazine Award (again in the category of public interest), for "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, Wives," a compelling look at the state of women's health care in Texas.
Over the years, Swartz's work has appeared in Vanity Fair, Esquire, Slate, National Geographic, and the New York Times' op-ed page and Sunday magazine. It has also been collected in Best American Political Writing 2006 and Best American Sportswriting 2007. She has been a member of the Texas Institute of Letters since 1994.

Why does a rich Houston investment banker spend his days traveling the globe, preaching to the uninformed and indifferent that the world's supply of crude oil is in steep decline and the end of life as we know it is very, very near? Maybe because it is.
In the right light, the ornery octogenarian oilman's guilty plea can be seen as a victory: After all, he won't spend the rest of his natural life in jail. But the fact is, he couldn't beat the rap—and he knew it.

There are prettier women in Hollywood. There are more-talented actresses on TV and in the movies. So how to explain the charmed, celebrated existence that is la vida Longoria?
After James and Linda Rowe were killed in a grisly refinery explosion in Texas City in 2005, their wild-child daughter could have taken a modest settlement and started to rebuild her life in a small Louisiana border town. Instead, she chose to fight—and brought a multibillion-dollar oil company to its knees.
Anna Nicole Smith died as she lived: as a bit of tabloid ephemera, sandwiched between a love-crazed astronaut and Britney Spears's new do. And that's exactly where she belonged.
Dan Patrick is causing nervous breakdowns of various size and duration—and he's not even in the Texas Senate yet.
But not just any. The Prime and Tanger outlets, in San Marcos, with Neiman's Last Call and Saks Off Fifth and Polo Ralph Lauren and Zegna among their more than 225 stores, are the fourth most popular tourist attraction in Texas. Maximizing a trip to such a massive shopping mecca requires a carefully thought-out strategy. Fortunately, I have one.

A Johnson City man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly choked a woman during an argument that started over the cleanliness of a residence, according to a police news release.
Michael G. Nickels, 30, 851 Dyer St., was charged after he and Amber L. Ward, 24, reportedly got into an argument where he grabbed her by the neck, choked her, broke her necklace and threw her around the apartment, police said.
Ward told police the argument started after she yelled at Nickels for messing up the apartment she had cleaned the night before.
When police arrived, visible choke marks could be seen on Ward's throat and Nickels was taken into custody.
While searching Nickels, police found a bag of a green leafy substance in his right pocket, as well as a metal pipe with burn residue.
Nickels was charged with aggravated assault, simple possession/casual exchange and unlawful drug paraphernalia.
He was taken to the Washington County Detention Center, where he was being held on $52,000 bond.
Nickels was scheduled to appear in Sessions Court on Monday at 1:30 p.m.

Budget Electronic Drum Kit?
I'm considering purchasing an electronic drum kit for my husband for his birthday. He's a former drummer, but hasn't played for about 10 years. There's such a huge price range for electronic drum kits and I know absolutely nothing about drums, so some advice would be much appreciated.
If I were to be buying him a kit, I wouldn't really be able to pay much more than £600 (around £800 absolute max, but closer to the £400-£600 mark if possible) - for someone who's not a beginner, are kits at this value ok, or is it really not worth getting one unless I can get something more expensive? I know he'll want something that will really feel just like he's playing an acoustic kit, but it will be just for fun - not for professional/recording purposes.
Being so clueless about drums myself, I'd be after something that I can purchase easily as a full set without having to worry about additional items. We already have an amp and a drum stool, but nothing else that could be of any use.
Can anyone point me towards any good kits that fit my budget, and have all the parts a full acoustic set up would have?
Thanks in advance :)

i heard he was leading the qb battle in the beginning of camp. I say sign him
Well played.
If he couldn't even make the roster on the dumpster fire known as the Dolphins, what makes anyone think he'd be worth taking a look at?
The people that used to do that arn't here anymore.
This release doesn't necessarily mean he's not coming back. Veteran salaries are guaranteed for the year if they're on the roster Week 1.
He will ask for guarenteed money. If you give it to him, he will become "injured", say he is sitting out again till next year, do a lot of fishing, jet skiing, and chill out with all your free money. If you bring him in for a look and offer him a contract that he has to earn with no guarenteed money, he will bad mouth your organization in the media and suggest you arent giving him respect. He did the same thing to us last year around October. Then two weeks later he was having back surgery and saying he would come back next season if someone gave him a signing bonus. LOL at whichever team is foolish enough to do that before the 2012 preseason........ OH...... WAIT.
Personally, I wouldnt waste time with him. Its just a bad idea all the way around. Just contacting him would be damaging to your franchise.

Posted 2 years ago
By Post Staff
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says work-release inmate serving a sentence from Dawes County jumped out of a state prison vehicle in south Lincoln Thursday afternoon and eluded authorities for almost two hours before being recaptured.
33-year old Juan Ramirez is serving a 10-to-15 year sentence from 2008 for burglary and possession of a stolen gun.
Corrections Department spokeswoman Dawn-Renee Smith says Ramirez was living at the work release center because he's eligible for parole in October.
He is scheduled for a parole hearing next month, but Smith says Otoe County sheriff's deputies spoke with him yesterday about a reported residential burglary the previous night.
Otoe County Chief Deputy Mike Holland says Ramirez had been working with a state road crew near a house where someone kicked in the door. Holland says they were convinced Ramirez broke in, but he denied it.
Then, while Ramirez was being taken back to the work release center about 1:00, he opened the door of the state truck, jumped out, and ran toward a water park. Smith says since Ramirez was a nonviolent offender, he was not shackled.
Police, dogs and helicopters then scoured a roughly mile-and-a-half area of Lincoln and found Ramirez about 2 hours later hiding in trees and heavy brush about a half-mile from where he'd jumped out of the truck.

Police are still looking for the driver of a pickup truck that hit a Silver Spring woman as she was crossing University Boulevard East at East Wayne Avenue and then left the scene Wednesday night.
The woman suffered head injuries and was taken to a local hospital. Her injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, according to Officer Rebecca Innocenti, a Montgomery County Police spokeswoman. Police said she was not crossing the road in a designated crosswalk.
Witnesses told police the black pickup truck traveling west on University Boulevard East at about 8:30 a.m. tried to avoid hitting the woman, but struck her and did not stop. A second driver stopped at the scene to call police and help the woman.
Four other cars were involved in a rear-end collision at the scene of the hit-and-run, Innocenti said. One driver had to be transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries from that secondary accident, she said.

Upon using the Morley ABY channel switcher, I was surprised to find that my tone significantly diminished when in "Y" mode between two amps. I'm running a Nashville Tele between an Orange AD30HTC and Fender HRD with a POD xtl in front of it. The Orange suffers the most, losing shimmering highs, some body and sustain. The digital POD to the HRD is buffered, so that helps my signal, but their is bleed between the amps. Also, popping noises can be heard when switching the Morley. Overall, it is a great price to use between switching two guitars, but for running expensive vintage amps, go with a Lehle ABY.
Don't get me wrong, this is a great channel switcher, but the tone of my amps dives significantly, I don't feel my punchy, twangy Twin when it's plugged in. Also, there is a lot of hissing and clicking between channels. But regardless, built like a tank, GREAT in a live pinch and FUN to mix and match amps with! Just be careful before buying this. Buy it ONLY if you don't care about the aforementioned problems.
I use this pedal to switch between my guitar and mandolin. It works for me and the signal loss is negligible. Have not tried it as a bi-amp unit but then again I don't really use my own amps as I am an acoustic player mostly. I have not experienced any hiss, clicks or pops when switching. Would recommend this to anyone using it as I do currently.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
dark chocolate cake mix
1 cup
sour cream
1 cup
coffee flavored liqueur
3/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1 (16 ounce) package
prepared chocolate frosting
1 1/2 tablespoons
coffee-flavored liqueur
This is THE BEST CAKE ! I made it for a baby shower(shaped & decorated like a bib) and added a chocolate mousse filing between the layers...chocolate heaven! I got so many compliments, everyone said it was the best choc. cake they had ever eaten and wanted to order one! I think I'm now in the cake business. The only substitution I made was 1 cup of hot strong coffee for the liquer and I melted the choc. chips with it. The recipe was perfect for a 12 inch round cake pan to, then I just made 2 batches to layer it. Tres Magnifique !
Perhaps this recipe would be wonderful without this much oil. It made the cake heavy and greasy tasting. One cup of Kahlua is way too much unless you want to taste nothing but the liquer. I would recommend cutting the oil to 2/3 and the liquor to 1/2. Sorry, I won't be making this one again.

This cake is excellent! Moist, semi-dense, rich - all of my favorite cake adjectives. I followed recipe exactly, except for usuing 3/4 cup mini chips instead of 1 cup regular. I was going to make a ganache and decided at the last minute to follow the recipe directions for the icing - glad I did! I used a dark chocolate fudge frosting with the Kahlua. We took this to a party and all of the very full guests had to have some. H didn't want to leave it and ate one more piece before we went home. I'll make this again - thanks!
I used this batter for cupcakes and they were the best!!!!!!! As suggested in a review below, I used coffee instead of liqueur and it worked great. I also used the allrecipe "Coffee Butter Frosting" to top the cupcakes.
Excellent cake! Well, mine turned out good because I used 2/3 cup of Kaluha. Also, by accident, I read it wrong and put it 2 tablespoons of oil. Actually, that made the texture just right! Definetly making this one again!
This is definitely a make-again cake! Rich, dense cake with a hint of Kaluha. Delicious. I sliced it lengthwise and added a coffee whipped cream to the middle. (Called "Mocha Cream," in the fillings and frostings section). That added a nice light texture and coffee flavor to break up the dense chocolate-y goodness!
I love dark chocolate so I had to give this a try. I brought this over to a super bowl party. The first thing that popped out of everyone's mouth was, "Does this have alcohol in it?" The coffee-flavored liqueur may be a little bit too strong so you might want to hold off on it.
It's a nice chocolate cake, but not quite a mocha.
3~4 tablespoons of oil were perfect for this cake.
1 and 1/4 cup of sour cream was also good for more moist.
I rather use "coffee butter frosting" from allrecipes than prepared chocolate frosting. It was too sweet and too much chocolate.
You might want to sprinkle some coconut flake or chopped nut on top for decolation. Without deco, the cake looks so boring.

April 18th, 2013 (F1plus/G. Keilloh).- What are the things about F1, on the broadest level, that most get on your nerves? That most exasperate you about the activity and those in it? For me, it is the sport's tendency to put short term (mainly financial) gain way before the negative long-term consequences, as well as its insistence on behaving rather like it thinks it exists inside a bubble, seemingly not considering how it appears more widely and why that is important. And this weekend we'll likely see some of the negative implications played out when both of these manifest themselves simultaneously. Yes, ladies and gentleman, despite everything the F1 circus is returning to Bahrain this weekend.
This is even though the Bahrain race meeting of last year was one of the most controversial and damaging weekends for F1 in its already not exactly unblemished history. And this year, even though the best evidence is that the situation in Bahrain hasn't changed much in the meantime, it marches back as if nothing has happened, as if nothing has been learned from the experience of 2012. It's like the sport is determined prove George Santayana's celebrated maxim that 'those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it'.
This weekend, just like that in Bahrain 12 months ago, feels rather like something to be got through, both in terms of the security for all involved as well as in terms of F1's image. Despite the undoubted collateral damage to its brand, F1 got away with it last year, particularly in that nothing regrettable happened to the event itself or to anyone who works in or around F1. Going back again into the same situation one year on has a strong feel of pushing ones luck.
Of course, almost none of us who like to talk about F1 specialise in Middle Eastern politics, let alone the specifics of the Bahrain situation. And further we hear vociferous and regular claim and counter claim from both 'sides', making the real story hard to discern. But what we do know is that there has been unrest in Bahrain related to pressure for reform and for democracy, that there has been such unrest since at least early 2011 and that it continues today (indeed, stories emerged of a car bombing this week as well as of the tear-gassing of a school by the Bahraini authorities, in addition to allegations of potential protesters being 'rounded up' for arrest) and has done almost on a daily basis in between times.
We know that the unrest has frequently been violent, and that there have been some brutal repressions of the protests that people have in the past died in. We also know that the F1 race has been and remains a major source of the 'opposition's' discontent. And this is unsurprising given that Bahrain's ruling regime associates itself closely with the F1 race that it bankrolls, and views it as a key means generally of conveying its national branding to the country and to the world, and even has on occasion used it as a means to legitimise itself; the 'UniF1ed' slogan promoting the race last year was thinly-veiled in this regard. And indeed the Bahrain opposition has promised that protests will escalate for the F1 weekend.
For F1 to step into this situation, and to do so with the carrot of a (reported) $50 million bounty for showing up, at best makes the sport appear uncaring, greedy and aloof (and playing rather fast and loose with the security of its own fraternity as well as others in Bahrain). At worst it looks as if the sport is siding with oppressors and promoting their legitimacy. Indeed, rather flippant comments made by Bernie Ecclestone and Sebastian Vettel in the course of F1's last visit came perilously close to sounding akin to doing the Bahraini government's bidding (though at least Bernie's making a point of appearing more even handed this year, such as by meeting representatives of the Bahraini opposition).
Of course, we'll no doubt have apologists - among those in F1's higher echelons and elsewhere - emit the inevitable 'we don't do politics/don't mix sport and politics' line. But first of all this is manifestly false: everything is connected to everything else and as mentioned in this case specifically it is clear that the Bahrain regime has used the race in an attempt to legitimise itself. But not only that it is also a cop out. As Ari Vatanen noted on this issue last year 'saying you're not political is an excuse to do nothing...By definition if you hold a sporting event in a politically sensitive place you are involved in politics...Human rights cannot be just ignored as an inconvenience to a sporting event.'
Unfair!' some will shout at this, that the F1 event is being associated with the concurrent civil unrest. Perhaps so, perhaps not. But such an outlook is if nothing else astonishingly naive of how the media works, indeed of how public perception more generally works. And as Gustave Flaubert once noted: 'There is no truth. There is only perception'. And it would seem galling if those operating in a sport as PR and media savvy as F1 expected otherwise.
And even if we park the moral concerns (and why not, F1 has all the tools needed for that task after all) and indulge only in what psychologists call an 'appeal to self interest', the race remains difficult for F1 to justify. As outlined at the start of this article, the sport doesn't exist inside a bubble, especially not when it relies on investors and stakeholders such as sponsors and manufacturers for whom F1 represents but the tiniest decimal point of a single percentage point in its breadth of considerations, who run the risk of tainted by association.
It wouldn't at all surprise me if those who sit in the boardrooms of such organisations during the last Bahrain weekend and this look at the coverage and think 'well I don't need that sort of publicity'. Indeed, rumour has it that one major F1 sponsor at least has been lost on those grounds. And more broadly it appears sponsors have voted with their feet and somewhat shun the Bahrain race. I'd imagine also that many fans, both current and potential, do too.
With all of this it's hard to see how the bounty from turning up to Bahrain outweighs the potential drawbacks, which are less tangible but nevertheless real. This is even considering that Bernie, partly at the behest of CVC, following the money isn't exactly unheard of. But perhaps things aren't that simple? After all McLaren, major players in F1, is 50% owned by the investment arm of the Bahrain government. Perhaps there are also geo-political pressures? Bahrain is an important Middle Eastern ally to the west strategically and otherwise. Has there been pressure on F1 not to rock the boat?
And then of course there is the not inconsiderable matter of security too. The risks here seem very real and indeed it may not even take pre-ordained malice for the worst to happen: peaceful protests in a tense situation can very quickly become non-peaceful, due to the actions either of protesters or authorities. All of us will be relieved if we reach Monday morning with everyone in the F1 fraternity, and in Bahrain more widely, safe. But even if this does happen those who make the decisions in F1 surely will be in no position to crow. They will have got away with it frankly.
The weekend is something to be got through, as I said. But whatever the case it's difficult to see how come Monday F1 will be anything other than diminished, one way or another.
On-track matters
In terms of the Bahrain Grand Prix as a sporting event, it could hardly be a more different challenge from that in China a week before. The temperatures will be hot rather than (relatively) cool. And while the Shanghai track is 'front-limited', i.e. taxing the front tyres more than the rears, when proceeding around the Sakhir track it is the rear of the car that is critical. The circuit is characterised by many heavy braking zones (these plus the temperatures make the track the toughest of the year on brakes) and acceleration zones. Under braking, the rear of the car can become light; under acceleration the rear needs to be stable, and traction slippage can destroy your tyres quickly. And for both exercises keeping your rear tyres in shape is pivotal.
Will Vettel repeat his 2012 victory (getty)
Sensibly Pirelli has made an 11th hour alteration to the tyre allocations, bringing the medium and hard compounds rather than the soft and hard. The above considerations plus a few high energy corners and an abrasive track surface makes Bahrain among the toughest venues of the year on tyres, and given how long the softs lasted in China one wonders what this weekend's running would have done to them. Pirelli nevertheless predicts three-stop races as the norm on Sunday.
Therefore it may be advantage Red Bull. In Bahrain it gets the more durable tyre compounds that it has been lobbying for audibly for a while, and probably not unrelated the compound selection suits it frankly, given the Bulls' tendency to eat its tyres more rapidly than its rivals do. What also suits it is the Sakhir track layout: we know the Red Bull's strength has been its planted rear end and has been for some time. A pole and win for Sebastian Vettel therefore appears to be the most likely outcome from this weekend, particularly as Mark Webber faces a three-place grid penalty as a result of China misdemeanours.
Seb's closest challenger could well be black and gold however. Last year the Lotus always appeared to go well when temperatures climbed, and indeed at Bahrain in 2012 the two cars came home in second and third, with Kimi Raikkonen hounding Seb for the lead for much of the race. Given the E21's fine handling and famous ability to look after its tyres it, particularly in Kimi's hands, again should be a strong contender.
Ferrari arrives in the afterglow of its fine China triumph, which also was the red team's most decisive race day performance in some time. However, the F138 has looked less stable at the rear than the Red Bull or Lotus at times this year so far, particularly in testing, and thus the Sakhir circuit layout may not be up its street. It's hard to imagine Fernando Alonso won't make the very best of things though, particularly in how he manages his car through a race. Look out for Felipe Massa too, as the Bahrain track is one of those he always seems to go well at.
Mercedes will be a fascinating watch as always. The evidence of the season so far is that it is very close to the race pace but not quite on it yet, though Bahrain's long straights should suit the Mercedes engine's fine top end grunt. Chewing rear tyres was last year's Merc's major vice though, and this weekend should provide a harsh assessment of whether this remains the case in 2013. And as for McLaren, a major upgrade awaits only in Barcelona so this weekend for that team may be something to be got through.

It literally runs in the family. A colt produced by Grade 1 winner Cotton Blossom, whos owned by Betty Morans Brushwood Stable, is getting his indoctrination into the world of Thoroughbred racing at the Aiken Training Track, and is being conditioned by Legacy Stables Brad Stauffer.
Dogwood Stable campaigned Cotton Blosson, a winner of 3 stakes races including the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes, Grade 3 Schuylerville Stakes and the Florida Oaks. Cotton Blossom also came through the Legacy Stable program before starting her racing career.
The yearling colt possesses a number of attributes that should help him as he matures, and prepares for his career on the racetrack, said Stauffer, about the March 16, 2011 foal.
Hes a nice colt, hes a lot like she was, said Stauffer. Were taking our time with him, and getting him to understand what hes supposed to be doing.
And like his dam, the colt by Distorted Humor posseses a good mind, maintains his equanimity, and isnt easily distracted, said Stauffer.
Hes not fractious and has learned his lessons well, said Stauffer. He went through the gate today for the first time. He was a bit apprehensive at first, but thats nothing unsual for him. He doesnt seem to get upset by much.
The colt, at the moment, is galloping next to two other fillies, but has been able to keep his mind on business, said Stauffer.
As far as his physical development, the colt is a little smaller than his mother at this time, but he continues to mature nicely, said Stauffer.
