Listen. Whatever you're hearing — the hum of a computer, your kids playing, a car going by — is thanks to your ears.
Hearing is their main job, but it's not all our ears do. These delicate organs also need care and protection, so let's take a look at how they work and what conditions and problems can affect them.
There's a lot more to an ear than what you see on the side of your head. The ear is made up of three different sections that work together to collect sounds and relay them to the brain: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.
The outer ear, the part that is visible on the side of your head, is called the pinna or auricle. It's made of tough cartilage covered by skin. The pinna's main job is to gather sounds and funnel them to the ear canal, which leads to the middle ear. The pinna, which includes the earlobe, is the part that people pierce to wear earrings.
The ear canal, the hollow passage that leads to the eardrum, is also part of the outer ear. Glands in the skin lining the ear canal produce earwax, which protects the canal by cleaning out dirt and helping to prevent infections.
The middle ear is an air-filled cavity about the size of a pea. It turns sound waves into vibrations and delivers them to the inner ear. The middle ear is separated from the outer ear by the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, a thin, cone-shaped piece of tissue stretched tight across the ear canal.
To hear properly, the pressure on both sides of your eardrum needs to be equal. When you go up or down in elevation, the air pressure changes and you may feel a popping sensation as your ears adjust. Ears are able to adjust thanks to the narrow Eustachian tube that connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and acts as a sort of pressure valve, opening to keep the pressure equalized on both sides of the eardrum.
The middle ear also includes the three smallest bones in the body, located just past the eardrum and collectively known as the ossicles. The ossicles consist of:
The inner ear consists of two tiny organs called the cochlea and the semicircular canals. The snail-shaped cochlea act as a sort of microphone, converting the vibrations from the middle ear into nerve impulses that travel to the brain along the cochlear nerve, also known as the auditory nerve.
The semicircular canals look like three tiny, interconnected tubes sticking out in loops from the top of the cochlea. It's their job to help you balance. The canals are filled with fluid and lined with tiny hairs. When your head moves, the fluid in the canals sloshes around, moving the hairs. The hairs send this position information as impulses through the vestibular nerve to your brain. The brain interprets these impulses and sends messages to the muscles that help keep you balanced.
When you spin around and stop, the reason you feel dizzy is because the fluid in your semicircular canals continues to slosh around for awhile, giving your brain the idea that you're still spinning even when you aren't. When the fluid stops moving, the dizziness goes away.
The cochlear nerve, which is attached to the cochlea and relays sound information to the brain, and the vestibular nerve, which carries balance information from the semicircular canals to the brain, are collectively known as the vestibulocochlear nerve, or 8th cranial nerve.
When something vibrates, it makes a sound. Most of the sounds we hear and interpret are vibrations in air (but they can happen in other gases, and in liquids or solids).
When an object or thing vibrates, it flexes in and out. Flexing out pushes the object against the air molecules around it. These molecules in turn push against the molecules next to them. The vibration created travels outward in this manner, much like a ripple or wave. This is a process called compression.
Flexing in while vibrating creates a drop in air pressure that pulls nearby air molecules toward an object. This, in turn, creates another drop in pressure that pulls in the surrounding air molecules, and so on. This process is called rarefaction.
These waves of change in air pressure — compression and rarefaction — are what we hear as sounds.
When a sound wave reaches the ear, it's corralled by the pinna and directed into the ear canal. The pinna, through its distinctive shape and curves, helps us determine the direction a sound is coming from. Sounds coming from different places bounce off the pinna differently. The brain can recognize the difference and decide if the sound is coming from in front or behind.
The two pinnae (plural of pinna) of the left and right ears work together to determine if a sound is coming from the right or left. A sound that's coming from the right reaches the right eardrum sooner than the left. It also sounds slightly louder in the right ear. The brain compares the input from both ears and uses this to decide which side the sound came from.
Once inside the ear canal, sound waves vibrate the eardrum, which is very sensitive. The tensor tympani muscle that's attached to the eardrum keeps it taut. So the entire eardrum vibrates no matter where it is hit by a sound wave. This allows the eardrum to detect even the slightest fluctuations in air pressure.
As the eardrum is moved back and forth by the compressions and rarefactions of sound waves, the ossicles move, too. The movement of these tiny bones transmits and amplifies sound waves into the cochlea.
The cochlea are filled with fluid and contain thousands of tiny fibers. These fibers — which are short and stiff in some areas and longer and more flexible in others in order to decipher frequencies (pitches) — detect movement of sound waves.
When sound waves travel into the cochlea, they reach the fibers and give off a burst of energy. This burst of energy is detected by something called the organ of corti, a structure that lines the cochlea and contains thousands of tiny hair cells. When energy is released, it's strong enough to move these hairs.
The organ of corti sends an electrical impulse to the brain telling it which hairs (and how many) were moved. This information helps the brain's cerebral cortex determine the pitch and volume of a sound. So, for example, when a person hears a loud sound, it's because a stronger burst of energy affected more of the hairs in the organ of corti.
Given the outer ear's exposure to the elements and the middle ear's connection to the nose via the Eustachian tube, more than a few things can affect the ear and bring on hearing loss. Fortunately, most of these conditions can be treated effectively when detected early.
Some of the more common ear problems include:
There's an old saying about how you should never stick anything in your ear except your elbow. It's meant to be funny, but there's a kernel of truth to it. Sticking things like cotton swabs and fingernails into ears can scratch the ear canal, push earwax deeper into the ear, and even rupture the eardrum. If you find yourself having trouble removing earwax from your child's ear canal, seek a doctor's help.
Protecting kids' hearing is mostly a matter of common sense. You can start by convincing your kids to turn down the volume on the stereo and TV and especially on portable music players. If you know that they will be exposed to loud noises (at a concert, car race, construction site, etc.), make sure they bring protection for their ears (like earplugs or protective earmuffs/headphones).
When kids are out in the sun for an extended period of time, don't forget to put sunscreen on their ears to prevent them from getting burned. Likewise, if kids will be outside in the cold for a long time, make sure they bring along warm hats that cover the ears to protect against frostbite.
Many kids today — girls and guys alike — decide to pierce their ears. If your child has this done, keep a few things in mind. Piercings should always be done by reputable, trained practitioners in clean, sanitary surroundings. Pierced areas of the ear need to be washed daily using a saline solution or triple antibiotic ointment, and earrings need to be rotated at least twice a day to keep the holes open while they heal. Pierced earlobes generally take about 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Pierced ear cartilage takes 4 months to a year to heal completely.
If your child has any hearing loss or hearing problems, contact your doctor right away. Depending on the cause, hearing loss can be irreversible. But when treated early, hearing damage often can be minimized.

jalapeno, veggie, spinach, onion but when it comes down to it I'll eat almost any kind of pizza.
Meat Lovers!! Oh yeah, if it didn't have four legs when it was alive, it doesn't belong on a pizza!! (with the exception of cheese, cheese is good)
jalapeno, veggie, spinach, onion but when it comes down to it I'll eat almost any kind of pizza.
Free Pizza has a taste I just can't do justice by describing. You gotta try it yourself! *;D :P
My favorites are pepperoni, jalapeno, a lot of cheese, but then again I'll eat almost anything as long as it has a lot of cheese.
must be a florida thing, I've never even thought of putting that stuff on pizza
Popcorn shrimp, mussels, octopus, clams, calamri, almost any kind. You won't find these at Domino's or Pizza Hut but any decent Italian restaurant would have those.
I had seafood pizza in Greece, Italy, probably in other US states too, it's really not that uncommon. Check out some of the Italian restaurants in your area, I'm sure they'd have it.must be a florida thing
Do you guys know what the most popular pizza topping is in Australia? Actually that's one of my favorite ones, but I've never seen it used in the US. It is something you would probably find in your own fridge ...
so like, how often do you have to upgrade your pants and belt? :PPeperroni......extra sauce. 3 nights a week this is my dinner *
i like some nice greek stuff, kalamata olives and feta, and whatever else sounds good. [edit] oh and garlic, lots and lots of garlic.
delivery == evil | teh suck.
yeah so guys, maybe i'm spoiled being from Long Island/NYC area, but pizza hut, dominoes, little ceasars, all are NOT real pizza. *Conveyer belt cooked pizza (ESPECIALLY PAPA JOHNS) tastes like poop. *I'm a fan of the old school brick oven pizzaria with classic Neopolitan style pies. *No peperoni though, acid reflux disease
However, meatballs are mighty good.

If you call 911 from a cell phone, you get a recording
EUGENE, Ore. - Imagine driving down a highway and coming across an accident. You pull out your cell phone, dial 911, but instead of getting a live operator, you get a recording.
"That's ridiculous because that's not something you can do with 911, especially if someone was, you know, in a life or death situation where they only had just a split second to make a phone call," said Jessica.
A few nights ago, Jessica says she found a drunk driver who crashed on Lorane Highway. KVAL News is only identifying her by her first name because she says she fears from retaliation from the driver.
Neither police or emergency crews were at the scene, so she says she called 911 several times. Jessica says she was not able to get a dispatcher on the line until she drove home.
Since the beginning of November, Central Lane Communications has been using software that filters 911 calls from cell phones, and Jessica may have been confused.
When placing the emergency call, cell users now have to press a key, or say "9-1-1" after a recorded message in order to get a live dispatcher.
KVAL News tested the system Tuesday afternoon, with the oversight of communications managers. We found that just dialing and yelling for help will not immediately get a live dispatcher to your line. We found out the fastest way to talk to someone is to press a key.
"We're only looking at the most, a 9 seconds on a telephone call and during that time, a person can still punch in the numbers and bypass that message," said Captain Steve Swenson, 911 director, Eugene Police Department. "It's very unlikely that anything a 9 second delay is going to make a difference in a response."
Those who implemented the system say with more than 60 percent of calls coming from cell phones, the goal is to combat "pocket dialing."
"We can not put extra staff on the phones as the call volume is increasing, so we thought, well it makes sense to get rid of the unintentional calls," said Kristi Wilde, communications program manager, Central Lane Communications.
But Jessica believes the risks could outweigh the benefits.
"I'd rather have a bunch of mistake calls and save one person's life, than prevent all these mistake calls and have somebody die over it," said Jessica.
It's important to note that all unanswered 911 calls will eventually get a return call from a live dispatcher.
Call centers in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties also use this automated system. KVAL News called officials there to find out how it's working, but as of Tuesday night, our calls were not returned.

MASSENA - A Fort Covington man told police he refused to stop for police and drove at speeds of over 100 miles per hour with his eight-month pregnant girlfriend in the front seat and the couples 15-month-old child in the backseat from Main Street in Massena to Cook Road in Akwesasne Thursday afternoon because he was aware there was a warrant out for his arrest and feared he would still be in jail when his baby is born next month.
The chase ended when he struck a St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police vehicle when he was trying to get onto Cook Road to get onto the so-called Canadian side of the transborder reservation. A second tribal police sport utility vehicle was then able to maneuver the 2005 Mercury Marquis being operated by Eric J. Sisto, 21, of 499 Frye Road, Fort Covington, into the ditch.
Massena-based state police charged Sisto with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, unlawfully fleeing a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief and endangering the welfare of a child. He was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond following that started at just after 1 p.m. when he pulled onto Main Street from Water Street in front of an unmarked village police department sports utility vehicle, forcing the police officer to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision.
Sgt. Adam J. Love said he followed the vehicle as it turned from Main Street onto one way Center Street and Parker Avenue before activating his red lights. He said the vehicle failed to pull over and drove through a red light to get on to the Parker Avenue Bridge, he said, noting he observed the driver and passenger yelling at one another point.
Sgt. Love, in his statement, said the vehicle was in the right hand turn lane as it approached the East Orvis Street intersection and then made an evasive erratic left hand turn through the intersection forcing several vehicles to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The village police sergeant said he then turned his red lights off and followed the vehicle at a safe distance. He said he observed the Mercury Marquis pass several vehicles on the left in a no passing zone on East Orvis Street and then use the straight lane to make a left hand turn onto Route 37, nearly striking a vehicle making a left hand turn in the proper lane.
He said the vehicle then headed eastbound on Route 37 at a high rate of speed, and he had the village police dispatcher share information with state police and tribal police about the incident.
Sisto, in a statement he provided to a state police investigator, said he had just left Key Bank when he had his interaction with village police and observed the red and blue lights flashing on the grill of the SUV that was following his vehicle. I made a right hand turn and took off because I thought there is a warrant out for me, and I did not want to turn myself in until after Chelsea ((M. Jacobs, 18, his girlfriend) has the baby. Chelsea told me to just pull over, but I was zoned out. I drove to state Route 37 because I was going to try to make it home to Snye, he said in his statement to police.
The Fort Covington man told troopers he noticed a second police vehicle with its lights activated, state trooper, pull behind his vehicle as he passed the St. Lawrence Centre mall. I knew then that it was go all or go home so I drove on the back road going home from the mall, he said, noting he was able to avoid a state police roadblock and drive back up another sideroad back onto Route 37.
Troopers ticketed Sisto for reaching speeds of 70 mph in a 55 mph zone on North Raquette River Road and 66 mph in a 45 mph on North Raquette, 55 mph in a 40 mph zone on state Route 37C. 80 mph in a 35 mph zone on Route 37, 90 in a 45 mph zone on Route 37 and 105 mph in a 55 mph zone on state Route 37.
I made it on Route 37 to the reservation, and the cops tried to block me in again, but I was able to go around them without hitting anybody. I made it to (Truck Stop) #9 and was going to turn on Cook Road, but I missed it so I went around #9 and tried to get back on Cook Road, but the cops were there in front of me, he said in his statement.
I tried to get around them, but I hit the Charger and then a tribal SUV pit maneuvered me into the ditch, he added.
Sisto told police he was very sorry for his actions. I know what I did was dumb, but I just wanted to make it to my childs birth, he told troopers, noting the vehicle he was operating was owned by his grandfather, William Mitchell.
Ms. Jacobs, in the statement she provided police, said she had begged her boyfriend to stop as he attempted to evade the police. She said she became extremely upset as the incident came to an end.
We got to the #9 gas station, and he tried cutting through it to Cook Road and ran into a couple of cop cars, and we ended up on the side of the road. Then I got even more scared when the tribal truck hit the door by where my was seated. The cops came up, surrounded us and started smashing the windows out. Eric got pulled out, and I jumped in the back seat with my baby. I was so scared I was getting hurt or my baby would. I wish he would have sopped and not put me and my baby in danger, she said in her statement to police.
State police and village police combined ticketed Sisto for more than two dozen vehicle and traffic law offenses as well as a misdemeanor count of reckless driving.
The Bombay Town Court had an outstanding warrant for an alleged probation violation on an endangering the welfare of a child charge.
State police also charged Sisto with the misdemeanor reckless driving charge and ticketed him for unsafe passing on the left, failure to keep right, three stop sign violations and using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. He was issued three tickets for speeding over 55 mph and foru tickets for speed in zone.
Village police also charged Sisto with a misdemeanor count of reckless driving and ticketed him for making an unsafe turn, driving left of pavement markings on three occasions, making an unsafe lane change, failure to yield the right of way at a stop sign and illegally passing a red light.

Course Catalog
The Graduate Theological Union (GTU) Course Schedule lists courses offered by all GTU schools, including course descriptions, instructors, time and location of the class, prerequisites (if any), any special registration registrations (i.e. limited enrollment, course PIN required, prior interview, etc.) and course credits.
When planning your program, be sure to look at prerequisites in January and Spring term courses in case these affect your Fall course selections. Some courses, particularly language courses or Biblical Studies courses, which require knowledge of biblical languages, are year-long and require completion of a Fall semester course for admission to the Spring course.
There may be changes to the GTU Course Schedule almost immediately following publication each year. Prior to each pre-registration period, the GTU registrar publishes a printed Addendum to the Course Schedule. However, the most up to date information can be found on the searchable course schedule on the GTU website (http://www.gtu.edu/ to 'students') and the PSR website (www.psr.edu to "students"). The searchable feature allows you to search by day of the week, school, academic area, or instructor name. To view PSR courses only, choose "PSR" in the School Course Ownership field on the searchable course schedule.
Because all GTU schools have a common registration process, PSR students can take courses at any GTU school provided that you meet your degree or certificate program requirements. You can also develop special reading courses with core faculty members of PSR or other GTU schools. For more information on special reading courses, consult the registrar page.

Transferred Courses
Transferring courses completed at an outside institution requires a formal written application and petition process and is not automatically guaranteed. For more information on transferring or applying for advanced standing in your PSR program, visit the Transfer Credits $ Advanced Standing Policy page.
Online or Videoconference Courses
All PSR online course numbers are 8000-level with the second digit indicating the level. Some of the courses required for the Certificate of Swedenborgian Theology, Certificate of Sexuality and Religion , or the Doctor of Ministry are online or hybrid format. For more on what online or hybrid courses are like, visit the Flexible Learning page.
Online and Hybrid Courses
Online courses run in weekly rhythms over the full length of a semester.
As in the traditional classroom, faculty choose from a variety of teaching methods, depending on the subject matter and their own teaching style. There will be an abundance of reading, writing, and conversation (written or spoken) in each class. There may also be live, audio, or video lectures, slide shows, live conversation, student presentations, and group or one-on-one meetings by email, chat, phone or web conference.
Asynchronous courses have no required meeting time; you engage with the course on your own schedule on a weekly basis. These courses may have "synchronous" components such as occasional conference calls or web conferences. They are conducted through the Graduate Theological Union consortium's online learning system, Moodle. Students need a current computer (fewer than four years old) with speakers and a high-speed Internet connection. A telephone and a webcam may also be required. For information on accessing your online or hybrid course through Moodle, click on "Students" link in the Moodle Support block located at the top of the main GTU Moodle page. These courses are noted in the course description.
Synchronous courses meet online at designated times weekly. Attendance online at scheduled times is required. These courses may include both students in the Berkeley classroom and students online. Residential and Flexible Learning students may participate together in ways that may include lectures, presentations, and discussions. A current computer (fewer than four years old) with the latest version of Adobe Flash (free), a webcam, a telephone with headset (preferred) or speakerphone, and a high speed Internet connection is required. Normally Adobe Connect is used for synchronoous videoconferenced components. These courses are noted in the course description.
Hybrid courses involve some time in the classroom on campus and some time learning online using technologies mentioned above for all students. These courses are noted in the course description.
For courses in which an online version is offered with in addition to a face-to-face traditional version, usually two different course numbers (one 8000-level and one non-8000-level) with the same course title and instructor will be listed.
For more information on online and hybrid courses, see PSR's Flexible Learning page or contact Director of Continuing and Community Education Laurie Isenberg.
For more explanation on courses codes and numberings, consult the GTU Key to Course Numbers page or the GTU Course Schedule Booklet.
Textbooks, Readers, and Syllabi for PSR Courses
Information on textbooks and readers for PSR may be found on the Textbooks and Readers section on the Academic Resources page. For just textbooks, visit the Textbook Information page at the GTU website and search for your book through the school that is offering your course. When available, PSR Sylllabi are uploaded each term to Moodle in the course PSR Syllabi. Anyone with a Moodle login may view these syllabi, and no "enrollment key" is needed. If you can't find a syllabus for a particular couse, you may email the instructor directly for a copy.

Rating: 4.36 out of 14 votes cast
Just long enough
Although I usually order the tall pants. This time I ordered the regular length because I wanted to be able to wear them with flats. I can honestly say that these look good with heels and are long enough for flats. I'm pleased.
Palmdale, CA
Too long
I ordered petite and they do fit however they need to be hemmed. Not happy that I have to have them tailored.
Red Hot
I purchased a few pair of these pants and I love them all. The red pair is my favorite! The fit is great and the fabric can be worn year round.
Richmond VA
Good-looking pants
I ordered these pants in yellow. The color is very nice and the fabric is the perfect weight for summer. The pants aren't lined and you definitely have to pick the right underwear, but they look great. The wide waistband really makes the pants fit well and the invisible side zipper make the pants perfect for wearing under tunic tops; no ugly bulges!
Mobile, AL
Red rave
Lovely fit that compliments the ease of ware. Great price for a lined garment with a classic appeal.
Detroit, Mi
Very nice looking
Great slacks. No ironing. Nicely lined, but still a little show through. Fit rather snug for a size 14 and there isn't a lot of give to the fabric and lining. Overall, I am very pleased.

Love the look and feel of the pants very slimming and I ordered the tall size and was extremely pleased the length was perfect when I was wearing my heels. I am very glad that I decided to purchase two pair and am planning on purchasing addition colors with summer coming.....
No matter what size I'm in, I ALWAYS look great in these pants! Wish they were fly-front, though. I'm disabled, and it's harder to side zip. And yes, they should come in more colors.
Madison, TN
Wide Legged, side zip Pants
I am so lucky to have ordered and received these pants in white. I am 5'10", 34-35" inseam; they fit beautifully; waist, length all perfect. Couldn't have asked for better fit. They look good, can't wait to wear them. Thank you.
Montclair, CA
Love Them!!!
Great Pants. I purchased 4 an they fit wonderful. They can be worn for any occasion. I wished they had more colors because I would surely buy them all. Greedy me, I see a good thing and want it all..
My new favorite pants
These are my new favorite pants - I bought every color! They are smooth in the front, which is very flattering and comfortable in the leg. They are not stretchy so they stay the same shape all day - no saggy britches at the end of the work day. Yay!
Carrollton, TX
not happy
fit well in legs but hips were 4" to small in a 14. I usually wear a 12 or 14.Minimal give in fabric.
Not Happy W/ Color
Loved the fit and style of these pants, very disappointed with the color! The picture looks more like a cement color, the actual ivory I received looked more like a yellow beige. Beware when ordering.
Valrico, Fl
Very nice pants
These are really nice pants. The fabric is soft but still professional looking with just a little spandex for some give. They lie flat across the front making for a very clean look. Wish they had them in a wider variety of colors.

Every set of bars I have seen for that type grip sleeve is double slotted, both reinforced center and not. I have two pair of the '49-'50 type right now and they are both that way. So are lightweight bars which were the first to use that throttle set-up. I also have a pair of Flanders bars made that way so even the aftermarket followed H-D's lead. As far as I know if you had a bar with a worn slot you just turned the sleeve and plunger upside down and you have a new surface.

By WALT BORLASun Advocate guest writer
What became of Western Boys Baseball Association (WBBA)? This is a question being asked many times locally as this youth baseball program is non existent in Carbon County or Green River.
Actually WBBA is in a state of limbo right now with problems of poor communication and a dearth of volunteer help in some regions. A little history on the program is in order, particularly as it applies to Carbon County.
Little league baseball started in Carbon County in 1952. Two leagues were organized, one in Helper and the other in Price. They were affiliated with national Little League Baseball Inc. It wasn't long until Wellington, Sunnyside and Green River organized leagues. The local leagues continued affiliation with Little League Baseball Inc. until 1956. By that time Little League Inc. began worldwide expansion and Utah leagues, Carbon included, felt like the organization was just too big and all-star tournament competition for the small towns was out of the question.
During the spring of 1956 a group of gentlemen from Southern California, Utah and Idaho came up with the idea of WBBA. With the support of the Salt Lake Tribune under a sports writer, the late Bill Coltrin, the idea took quick hold in Utah. The principle of the organization was to provide a youth baseball program for boys of age 12 and under in which most of the participants were playing baseball most of the summer and the post-league tournament competition limited two or three weeks. WBBA was designed for the small towns and neighborhoods of the larger cities to keep a level playing field. Leagues were to limited to four teams, no more than 80 participants to a league and areas exceeding these limits were to organize more leagues in the cities or towns.
Through the years WBBA thrived, leagues existed in Southern California, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, even one in British Columbia, Canada. Post season all-star competition took place locally with qualifying teams moving on to what became known as the "Little World Series of WBBA. The final tournament rotated between Santa Monica, Calif., Idaho Falls, Idaho, Jackson, Wyo. and various sites in Utah. Price hosted this tournament twice and Helper once.
Service in WBBA is strictly volunteer, there never were any paid personnel in WBBA. There was never any entrance fees required of teams participating in local tournaments or teams qualifying for the "Little World Series of WBBA". In fact teams were reimbursed for travel expenses depending on length of travel and funds available for this final tournament.
As the years went by pressure began to come to the WBBA board of directors for expanded post-league play and the allowance of selecting one all-star team from a six-team league rather than four. If a league consisted of more than six teams, two all-stars had to be selected, the teams from which the all-star players were to selected from had to be designated prior the the first game of the season.
This was a move to preserve the equity of the all-star teams. Very few leagues followed this rule, but opt to keep their league complement to six or five teams. An example in Price where one league of five teams was formed from what had been three leagues in the city at one time. In all fairness to Price's Carbon league, they were very well in conformance with WBBA rules, but it destroyed the equity with teams from Sunnyside, Helper, Wellington and Green River.
Pressure continued to come to the Board of Directors for expanded post-league all-star play. The final tournament was expanded to 12 teams from the previous eight and double elimination format for all tournament meets brought about an earlier starting date for post-season all-star play. Whereas leagues at one time were still playing league games well into the middle of July, now the league schedule was being compressed into a quick five or six week schedule ending in mid-June. The all-star teams were selected then and for those youngsters not making the all-star team, their baseball season ended and it was not even summer yet.
For many of the volunteers in the WBBA program this trend did not set well and the organization suffered when they dropped out. They did not see any sense in having these young diamond enthusiasts out playing on cold April days and seeing their season terminated in mid-June if they were not skilled enough to make the all-star team. As a result with less and less volunteers committed to WBBA, communication within the organization broke down. Another blow to WBBA came in the untimely death in 2007 of association president Bob Fieldsted in the Uintah Basin. Bob was well known and respected in Carbon County as he worked with local volunteers.
It should be noted that the name Western Boys Baseball Association was officially changed several years ago to Western Baseball Association (still WBBA) in recognition of the many excellent girls playing in the organization.
In an attempt to hold things together the city of Morgan has consented to stage a "Little World Series of WBBA" in their city the final week of July. There has not been any formal registration of teams this year, but Altamont, Tabiona, Duchesne and Roosevelt have been playing under WBBA rules this year. One or two of them plan to participate in Morgan, but all of that is tentative at this date. Any local teams in Carbon interested in entering a tournament at Morgan should contact this writer.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Softball team dropped a pair of games to UW-Platteville at the Strong Complex Softball Field on Tuesday, falling 4-3 and 10-7.
But they definitely went down swinging.
In game one, the Bucs jumped on top in the bottom of the first when Kandace Fox doubled home Emily Dorjath, who had walked. UWP scored twice in the second to take the lead and added single runs in both the third and fifth to lead 4-1. In the bottom of the fifth Tala Cornell followed up on a Tara Grode double with a two-run home run, her second of the season, to pull Beloit within a run. But that was as close as they would get, going down in order in the sixth and the seventh.
In game two, the Pioneers scored twice in the first and once in the fourth before putting five on the board in the sixth to lead 8-0. The Buccaneer bats finally got going in the bottom of the sixth. Grode walked to lead off the inning and stole second. After an out Bethany Stavrakas singled and then moved to second on a fielder's choice, with Grode holding at third. Fox then hit a two-run single to right, making it 8-2, and went around to third on a two-base error but was stranded.
UW-Platteville tacked on two more runs in the seventh to re-establish their eight-run cushion but the Bucs came out swinging in the bottom of the inning. Megan Salm led off with a single, her second straight hit, and Ashleigh Gasparola walked. After an out Grode reached on a fielder's choice, with Gasparola out at second and Salm advancing to third. Cornell then hit her second home run of the day over the left field fence to make it 10-5. Bethany Stavrakas followed with a single and Dorjath doubled her home to make it 10-6. Fox then reached on an error while Dorjath scored to make it a 10-7 game. But that was as close as Beloit could get.
Stavrakas and Salm both had two hits in the game.
Beloit looks to keep the bats going on Saturday when they open Midwest Conference play at Ripon College. The doubleheader begins at 1:00 p.m.

- How to Read a Study Record
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is one of the most common genetic causes of obesity. Obesity is a major source of morbidity and mortality in this population. It can lead to sleep apnea, cor pulmonale, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis. PWS has distinct characteristics that set it apart from other forms of obesity including insatiable appetite and food-seeking behavior which can be disruptive to home and school activities, and can cause severe social and psychological turmoil within families. PWS is also associated with unique hormonal abnormalities, most notably hyperghrelinemia. Ghrelin is a gut hormone produced in the stomach that stimulates food intake during a fast. It is hypothesized that the extremely high ghrelin levels in patients with PWS may cause or contribute to their insatiable appetite. Exenatide, a medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, appears to suppress ghrelin levels and cause weight loss. It was designed to mimic glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying, among other effects. In the present study, the investigators will investigate the effects of a 6 month trial of exenatide in overweight adolescents with PWS. The investigators will quantify the changes in weight and body composition, as well as subjective measures of appetite, and concentrations of appetite-associated hormones. The investigators hypothesize that exenatide will improve weight, body composition, appetite, and plasma ghrelin levels during the treatment period.

The temporal lobe is our lock to life's time machine. Some moments pick it, others have the key.
Columbine. Virginia Tech. Aurora.
Times when the word "innocent" is robbed by cowardly, unthinkable acts.
I cover sports in Buffalo. That is my job. I get paid to share sports news and stories with viewers.
Most days it's a blessing. I get to live my childhood dream.
But as I type these somber words, I'm left to wonder...
Who will dream for the 20 children who lost their lives?
Who will dream for the six adults who died serving our nation's youth?
Who will dream for the children who survived a living nightmare?
Many questions that no one can answer. Many dinner tables that no one will speak at. Many parents forced to explain what no one can.
When the smoke clears, we will return to our natural way of life.
Laughing, smiling, and in a sense, forgetting what has happened.
How we move on is in the power of the beholder.
For many, time heals pain. It ignores the past, deflects the questions and rescues us from our inundated state.
For others, family and friends help us grieve. Many of us may not know the victims personally, but whether you're a parent, a child or a believer in a civil world, we can empathize.
Some choose religion, believing this is all part of God's plan.
In times like these, I don't like God's plan. So, I put my faith in the immortality of sports.
The late legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell once said, "Sports is human life in microcosm."
I work in a world of box scores and highlights, not mass shootings and children dying.
When these tragic moments happen, people take refuge in sports. It's a natural diversion from the horrors of reality.
How am I supposed to talk about sports and serve as a distraction for people, when the perils of the day burn inside me?
I'm left questioning myself and if I'm capable. Then, I remember. I work in sports.
We're born, we live and we die. That's human life in its simplest form. What's most important is that we lived.
We play, we win, we lose or we tie. That's sports in its purest form. What's most important is that we played.
Teams you care about are your children for life.
A bond, nurtured with time and allegiance, grows stronger. They fail. They succeed. And fail again.
Through thick and thin, sports will always be there. Sports are immortal and will never be outlived.
We will lose loved ones. We will lose those we put our trust in and those we care for, just for the world to take them away from us. But, we will never lose our memories.
We can only hope for better ones.

By Erica Zaiser
I came across this cartoon recently from Funnymos.com:
Obviously it is meant to be humorous but it also made me wonder: Does having a trait like glasses change people's initial impressions of you? And has there been any research on this topic? Turns out, there has.
According to research by Hellstrom and Tekle (1994), people infer not only occupations based on physical traits but also personal characteristics like intelligence and trustworthiness. The researchers conducted studies in which participants rated the personality characteristics and speculated about the occupation of several male faces with either glasses, hair, or a beard. The researchers found that the combination of having glasses, a beard, and no hair was associated most highly with intellectual professions. The opposite in each category led to the strongest belief that the face belonged to someone in a trade profession or a factory worker.
Another set of studies by Terry and Krantz (1993) further suggest that both men and women with glasses are rated as more competent and also have less social forcefulness. However, in their studies they found that beards were related to less competence. A key difference in this study was that the researchers looked at each difference separately whereas the first study looked at the combination of factors together. So perhaps a beard alone can diminish perceptions of competence but not when paired with glasses or bald hair in which case a beard has a positive effect on competence ratings.
Of course, these studies only varied a few physical traits and didn't take into account all the other subtle influences that help form first impressions. Nonetheless, it makes me wonder, would people respect my research more if I wore glasses?

|Job Seekers Crowd Boone Marriott
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 08 April 2013 07:13
Nearly 20 local and area businesses gathered at the Marriott in Boone Friday for a High Country Job Fair, put on by the Workforce Development Board, NC Division of Workforce Solutions, and CCC&TI. A crowd of job seekers hear from possible employers, and congresswoman Virginia Foxx
was there talking jobs and the economy, "The headline I saw this morning said our workforce is the same size as in 1979 right now. If we really want to bring jobs back to the United States, what we have to do is make it easier for employers to do business here. We need to lower the tax rate on corporations, we need to reduce rules and regulations. That would do as much as reducing the tax rate."

It's been said that vultures will eat anything -- and that includes cars!
Video posted to YouTube shows the birds tearing apart vehicles in the Florida Everglades.
In minutes, the vultures, which migrate to the area every year, are seen ripping rubber from the cars.
Florida wildlife officials are handing out vulture "survival kits," consisting of tarps and bungee cords, so visitors can cover their cars.
Officials said the birds have caused nearly $2,000 damage to cars.

BUFFALO - About five hours before his Independence Day fireworks show at the Outer Harbor, Matt Shaw cautions not to get too close to the live fireworks lined up along the grass.
"Static electricity," he says, citing the source of a potential accident. "You'll get killed."
Shaw knows fireworks. After all, he owns Skylighters of New York, which conducted 20 shows across Western New York on Thursday.
"Biggest day of the year," he said. "It starts at 4:30 in the morning, getting the trucks and trailers out."
All shows must have a licensed pyrotechnic operator on site, according to state law. Except here's the interesting thing: There are only 47 pyrotechnic certifications issued in the Western New York region, according to the state's Department of Labor. For everybody else, fireworks are illegal in this state.
New York is one of four states in the country with a ban on consumer fireworks, along with New Jersey, Massachussetts and Delaware. Don Creagan, the president of the Pyrotechnics Guild International nonprofit organization, wants to change that-- even though he lives in Omaha, Neb.
"We encourage those states to open up their interests a little more," Creagan said, "and see what they're missing."
Creagan said states with fireworks bans lose out on sales tax revenue, since people travel to other states to buy their fireworks for the Fourth of July.
"It's illegal and they shouldn't be doing it," Cregan said, "But they will have people shooting fireworks and the states that sell them will get the revenue. That's what it comes down to."
The Department of Labor reports 387 licensed pyrotechnic operators in the entire state of New York. Coincidentally, New York City has the same amount of certificates (47) as Western New York. Long Island leads the way with 64.
But Matt Shaw doesn't need to worry.
He has his permit.
"The way we set up for the spectators, we will keep people safe," Shaw said.

Exelon Representatives Working Closely with State, Local Officials to Notify Public, Minimize Traffic Disruptions Along Nighttime Route from Havre De Grace, MD. to Delta, PA.
DELTA — Next week Exelon will be working closely with state and local officials in Maryland and Pennsylvania to safely and effectively transport a main power transformer from Havre de Grace, Md. to Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station in Delta, Pa. This power transformer is the last in a shipment of seven transformers over the past three years. The project is part of Exelon's $87 million plan to replace all six of Peach Bottom's main power transformers and improve long-term service.
The transformer was recently shipped from Korea to Philadelphia and barged to Havre de Grace. It weighs approximately 481,000 lbs. and stands 35 feet high and 28 feet wide. On June 25, Hake Rigging Company will begin transporting the transformer along a predetermined route through Harford and southern York County. The transporter will move approximately three to five miles per hour and most of the travel will take place at night to avoid traffic congestion as much as possible. The unit is scheduled to arrive at Peach Bottom on Friday, June 29, 2012.
For the past 6 months, Exelon has been working with Hake Rigging as well as state and local school, emergency response and transportation officials to coordinate the effort. Detours and road closures will be clearly marked in advance and a coordinated outreach plan was designed to notify residents and businesses along the travel route. Exelon has also created a 24-hour "Transport Tracker" hotline to provide travelers with up to date information on the transformer's location. The number is 717-456-4932.
"This is just one the many ways that Exelon is investing in the future of Peach Bottom and our ability to provide safe, clean and reliable power for two million customers," said Peach Bottom Site Vice President Garey Stathes. "We appreciate the hard work of the many state and local officials from Maryland and Pennsylvania who have been working closely with us to make this trip as safe and event-free as possible."
Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is the largest competitive U.S. power generator, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks finished with limited losses on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 index stalled just points from its record close, as worries over Europe's debt troubles abated.
"The situation in Cyprus was relatively unique; I don't think they'll try to replicate that again," Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners, said of a controversial tax on bank deposits that's part of Cyprus's bailout agreement with international lenders.
Beating the market, lowering fees
Brendan Conway and Jack Otter discuss a Vanguard fund that's beating the S&P over the long term, despite a hefty bond allocation. Plus: How to protect yourself against a stock pullback.
"Europe has its problems, but most of it has been factored" into the U.S. stock market, he added.
A day after closing at a record high, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.40% fell 33.49 points, or 0.2%, to 14,526.16.
Twenty of the Dow's 30 components ended in the red, led by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.44% off 1.8%.
Another Dow component, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, -0.49% finished marginally higher, a day after the discount retailer said in a securities filing it would likely take a loss from foreign bribery probes being done internally as well as by government agencies.
The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.39% shed 0.92 point, or less than 0.1%, to end at 1,562.85, leaving if 2.3 points from its all-time closing high.
Leading decliners, Cliff Natural Resources Inc. CLF, -1.52% dropped almost 14% after its shares were downgraded by Morgan Stanley.
The S&P 500 on Tuesday finished less than 2 points from its all-time close, set in October 2007.
"It would be nice to break it, and we will break it, but it doesn't mean anything really," other than the level represents a resistance level, said Pavlik of the S&P 500's record level.
Bucking the negative trend, the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.38% rose 4.04 points, or 0.1%, to 3,256.52.
"Any dip triggered by European issues is met with buyers in the U.S.," said Elliot Spar, market strategist at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co.
Powered by easy monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and other global central banks, the U.S. equities market is into the fifth year of its current bull run, with benchmark indexes up between nearly 8% and 11% for the year, leading many strategist to say a move down is in order.
"People are still trying to determine if this market is going to experience a pullback. I'm leaning to the belief we'll probably see some kind of pullback, or correction develop in the next week or so," said Pavlik.
For every seven stocks rising eight fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 596 million shares traded. Composite volume approached 2.9 billion.

Hi All:
I am creating my first homegrown firewall I have 3 questions:
The firewall will be multi-homed. The subnet for this firewall is going to be a /30 network, thereby restricting it to two devices only.
On that /30 subnet: the incoming WAN traffic that will be connected to the WAN side of the LAN; the other side will be the outgoing traffic to the LAN that will be routed to the internal network.
As far as I can tell, I can choose to either use 3 Ethernet cards in this server, each with its own IP address; OR I can use 2 Ethernet cards assigning the WAN IP and one LAN IP to one, and the LAN IP to the other.
Keep in mind that I am not concerned about the costs but I see no point in using the IRQ space unnecessarily, if there is no hit to security by using multiple IPs.
Also, I'd like to use this server for additional services, other than firewall, such as RRAS, Authentication, Certificates (secondary), Services Authorization, IPSEC, Mail, etc.
The following are my 3 questions:
1. Can I assign multiple IP addresses to the incoming NIC, even though they are clearly on different subnets, and expect the NAT software to still route traffic properly?
2. Would doing this compromise the security of the firewall or the network, in any way?
3. Will adding the additional services to this firewall box weaken my security?
Thank you to everyone for your suggestions and recommendations.

I can't read his notes and can't seem to get him out of my wallet. Charges for every little thing which most doctors wouldn't do.

Dr. Gordon isa an exceptional Dr. with excellent people skills and a wide range of treatment options including traditional and holistic. He is often busy but will give you the attention you need and work with you to solve the problem. I have been a patient for over ten years and he has litterally saved my life.

I searched far and wide for a doctor this good. After I saw more than 20 doctors, only he was able to help me with systemic scleroderma and mold, listened carefully as I described my symptoms, believed me, ordered thorough testing, and treated me with helpful medications that had virtually no side effects.

Dr. Gordon is a gifted physician, and a wonderfully compassionate doctor. Knows as much as anyone about ME/CFIDS/fibro, and integrates conventional and alternative/holistic medicine. His staff is really great too. Highly recommended. He's helped me more than any doctor over the past 10 years.

Dr. Gordon treats difficult cases: CFIDS, chronic Lyme, fibromyalgia. He is smart, on the forefront of new developments, ready and willing to listen and try new things, as well as warm and caring. I was ill with CFIDS for something like 15 years and only discovered I have Lyme Disease because of Dr. Gordon's comprehensive and persistent investigation. I recommend him highly. (I almost don't want to because he's already got such a busy practice!)

YIELD: Serves 4
- 1/2 honeydew melon
- 2 small to medium cubanelle or banana peppers
- Flaky coarse sea salt
- 1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, large ones torn
- 1/4 pound ricotta salata cheese, thinly sliced
- Very good extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Seed and peel the melon half. Cut it in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise on a diagonal. Trim and seed the peppers, then thinly slice them crosswise into rings.
On a large platter, arrange a layer of slightly overlapping melon slices and generously season with crushed pinches of salt. Add layers of the peppers, basil and cheese. If layering a second round, remember to season with salt between the layers of melon. Crush several generous pinches of salt over the top of the salad, then drizzle generously with oil. Serve immediately.
picking the perfect pepper: Cubanelle peppers (sometimes labeled "Italian frying peppers") are long tapered sorts, mild and sweet. Banana peppers make a good substitute, but be sure to taste first—I prefer a sweet, not hot, pepper for this dish. (Note: banana peppers resemble their semi-fiery cousin, the Hungarian wax pepper, so it's easy to bring home the heat when you are really looking for the sweet.)

Soul Kitchen: FRIDAY FOSTER
|Arthur Marks
|Pam Grier, Yaphet Kotto and Godfrey Cambridge
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Featuring a foot-stomping live soul jazz preshow set by Black Red Black and a dinner crafted by Nubian Queen Lola, proprietor of the restaurant bearing her name. A portion of the proceeds go to Nubian Queen Lola's ongoing effort to feed the homeless.
We've been hunting for a way to present classic soul cinema in a format that shows as much respect to the form as we feel it deserves. The classic blaxploitation era was an explosion of talent and entertainment like few we've ever seen. FRIDAY FOSTER brings together an all-star cast of great African American stars, led by Pam Grier (who has never looked more beautiful) as globetrotting photographer Friday Foster. When she witnesses an assassination attempt against "the richest black man in America", she gets involved in a web of intrigue and sepia glamor. With Yaphet Kotto as her dashing boyfriend, Eartha Kitt, Scatman Crothers, Godfrey Cambridge, Carl Weathers and many others. It should tell you a lot about this film that the pimp character is played as a ludicrous stooge, who Friday outwits at every turn. Fast-paced, loose-jointed, and hilarious - FRIDAY FOSTER is an unsung classic of soul cinema. (Lars)
