Monday, November 08, 2010Former Lipscomb Bisons pitching standout Rex Brothers was one of the participants Saturday in the Rising Stars Game as part of the Arizona Fall League.
Both Brothers and former Lipscomb catcher Caleb Joseph have been playing this fall for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Brothers was a first round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies in 2009. Joseph was drafted in 2008 by the Baltimore Orioles.
The Arizona Fall League is considered by most to be one of the most important steps for a player wanting to be on a Major League team. The Rising Stars Game has become a showcase for the top minor league players.
There were 50 Rising Stars named last season. Twenty-eight of them played in the Major Leagues this summer according to MLB.com.
Brothers, a left-hander, is 1-0 this fall with a 4.50 earned run average. He has pitched in seven games for a total of eight innings in relief. He has given up 12 hits, four earned runs and two walks. He has struck out 13.
Joseph has played in eight games. He is batting .444 with 12 hits including one double and one home run.

Bananagrams!: The Official Bookby Joe Edley
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Game of the Year winner at the 2009 International Toy Fair, Bananagrams is the international phenomenon that started with a simple idea: "An anagram game that is so fast it will drive you bananas!" Doing for letters what Sudoku did for numbers, it's the obsessive new puzzle craze that starts with 144 letter tiles in a banana-shaped bag and captures all the fun of crosswords and word games like Scrabble and Boggle.
Now comes Bananagrams! The Official Book, which translates the brain-twisting word fun of the game onto the page, and adds much, much more. Even if you've never dipped your hand into the Bananagrams pouch, the book stands on its own with hours of challenging play. Written by the only three-time National Scrabble Champion, Joe Edley, Bananagrams! offers sixteen clever puzzle types, including Banana Trees, where the object is to build word grids based on a theme; Banana Splits, a collection of four quick anagram puzzles to be solved in rapid-fire style; Banana Leaves, with its four-, five-, six- and seven-letter words; Banana Filling--what happens when you add a "K"?; and more. The puzzles have four levels of difficulty, from one banana to four bananas. Plus, there are glossaries; special strategies for Bananagrams: The Game; a list of "Weords"--weird words that are cool to play; two- and three-letter words to take your game to the next level; fun banana facts; and, of course, an answer key.

You have broken the Mod Rocket Arena so its unplayable anymore?
No way to create Teams on the Server?
When people play 2vs2 on Thunderstruck and 4 other guys connect to the server you cannot join the game unless the first players leave the server? REALLY?
This is how it should work?
No more Teams and the Winner Team stays on the Map?
Really really dissapointing. I was thinking about getting Premium but you can not even play a good rocket arena (clan arena) match?

MASSENA - Massena Electric Department customers used the highest amount of energy in the 6 p.m. block in the 32-year history of the municipal utility Thursday evening with subzero temperatures and high wind chill factors forcing heating systems into overdrive .
Customers used 50.5 megawatts of energy between 6 and 7 p.m. Thursday, according to MED Superintendent Andrew J. McMahon.
Its a one hour average load record that was set. For our 32 years, we never had as much energy used that was at 6 oclock, he said. What were seeing now on an instantaneous level is that our load is 8 percent higher than it has ever been before.
Obviously Christmas lights are still on and that doesnt help. People are using a lot more electric heaters, even if its just space heaters. People are just using a lot more electricity, with cell phones and multiple TVs, etc.
Mr. McMahon noted that the cold temperatures, which were well below 0 on Thursday and Friday, will likely have an impact on customers bills in the coming months.
He said that there are a few ways for customers to limit the amount of energy they use. We always encourage, particularly now, that people limit the use of energy between 4 and 7 p.m., which is typically when we set our peak; whether its with vacuums, doing laundry, etc..., Mr. McMahon said. Any time you can control doing that load during those hours is helpful. Theres certain neighborhoods where we may have to make some infrastructure adjustments to accommodate the energy uses in certain places. ... Weve (also) been trying to go the other way. Weve been trying to remind people that we have all sorts of incentives to make energy efficient improvements too.
The superintendent added that the peak has been gradually increasing 1 to 2 percent in recent years.
St. Lawrence Gas has also felt the effects of the recent cold spell. Weve seen an increase of about 14 percent colder than last year. Trying to convert that to what effects it has on the gas bill is tricky. Its hard to put an exact number on it. I can say that customers can expect their volumes to be higher because of the cold, General Manager James Ward said.
It does however look like January will be warmer for the next couple of weeks. They might get a little bit of a break. Hopefully that forecast holds true, he noted.
The biggest tip is that people clean and replace their furnace filter on a regular basis. Also, it is important to lower your thermostat. For every one degree you lower it, you will save 1 to 3 percent on your heating bill.
St. Lawrence Gas uses a method called Degree Days to measure the effects of the cold temperatures.
Heating Degree Days is the measure of a cold temperature. To calculate it, you take your average temperature for the day and subtract 65 degrees. So a -20 degree day would be 85 degree days. Thats what we call our peak day at St. Lawrence Gas, Mr. Ward said.
The last few days have been around 73 or 75, so pretty cold but not extreme cold that we see sometimes around here. ... If the number is above 65, there is no heating degree days and if the number is less than 65, you subtract the number from 65 to calculate the number of heating degree days.
Mr. Ward explained that despite the negative effects the subzero temperatures can have on a heating bill, there is one positive aspect.
Our customers are lucky because even with the cold, they can be thankful that there is the choice of natural gas, he said.

Your Career in Physical Therapy
After an injury is healed or an illness is treated, the effects can linger on. Just as a physician who sets a broken bone, or the surgeon who repairs a broken blood vessel in the brain, the physical therapist plays a key role in a patient returning to the life he or she knew before.
If you enjoy people, are driven, have an aptitude for science and can smile through the toughest of times, a career in physical therapy may be right for you.
American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has declared October physical therapy month and hopes to increase the awareness and understanding of the physical therapist's role in the nation's health care system.
Dr. Feelgood
Sometimes, Suzanne Perlik's extensive knowledge in the field of physical therapy just isn't enough. Sometimes her ever-present smile just can't break through a patient having a particularly hard time recovering from an illness or injury. Sometimes she needs a little help – the four-legged kind.
"Norris, the most popular therapist in our department!" says Perlik of her 3-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever/labrador retriever mix.
While Norris may live with Perlik and her husband, Matt, he is by no means an average pet. Norris is a certified assistance dog, trained by Canine Companions for Independence, who works with Perlik at the clinic.
Norris is trained to open doors, pick things up off the ground, pull socks off a person's feet and a myriad of other tasks. The thing he does best, however, came naturally.
"He most often simply gives love," says Perlik. "Patients have bad days sometimes. Maybe they aren't progressing as quickly as they'd hoped and are feeling down. So I'll bring Norris out to brighten up their day."
Even giving and receiving love can have clinical benefits. For example, Norris' soft coat can help patients who have had nerve damage from a spinal cord injury. When they pet him, they can concentrate on the sensation on their fingers. Other patients might simply pet Norris as a way to strengthen motor functions in an arm or hand.
Norris also has helped a patient with Parkinson's disease rehab his voice. The man was having a hard time knowing when he was speaking loud enough for others to hear him. By having Norris across the room, he would have to speak commands loudly for Norris to obey. When he saw Norris react, he knew he was speaking loudly enough.
Perlik never owned a dog before Norris, and now she can't imagine life, or work, without him. She learned of assistance dogs while visiting an inpatient clinic for spinal cord injuries and saw the benefit a dog might bring to her outpatient clinic.
"Sometimes patients are more apt to work with Norris over a human therapist, for whatever reason. It just totally changes the tone," she says.
And apparently, lives as well.
Suzanne (Eggleston) Perlik, BS '02, is a physical therapist working in the field of neurological rehabilitation at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center's outpatient facility in Columbus, Ohio. Her job is to evaluate patients with neurologic disorders resulting from injury (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord) or illness (stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) and then create and carry out a plan of care to help them regain as much ability as possible.
Many people might think of orthopedic rehabilitation when they think of physical therapy, but neurological rehabilitation is a rapidly growing field within physical therapy. Recent advances in medicine now allow people to survive injuries that in the past would have been fatal.
Research has shown that, over the last 30 years, the mortality rate of patients suffering from a traumatic brain injury has been cut in half, from 50 percent to 25 percent.1 The result is more people living with the effects of traumatic brain injuries, and many need therapy from doctors like Perlik.
"We are seeing people with really, really severe injuries that otherwise would not be alive," she says. "But as medicine evolves, so does therapy. There is a lot of research occurring right now in multiple areas to help us determine the best interventions for our patients."
A combination of increased demand along with changes to state and federal licensing regulations for physical therapists makes physical therapy a career on the rise. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a 39 percent growth rate for physical therapists over the next 10 years,2 much faster than other careers.
It's a far different outlook than just a few years ago when Perlik was a student at ONU. She first enrolled as a biology major pursuing an option in prephysical therapy, only to change the option to prephysician's assistant to better "cover her bases" when the time came to find a job.
In all honesty, the prephysical therapy and prephysician's assistant options offered at ONU are very similar. They both share many of the same core classes and are taught by the same outstanding faculty. Perlik credits her ONU education for giving her an edge in PT school at Ohio State University and helping her get to where she is today.
"I remember spending countless hours in the offices of Dr. Suniga, Dr. Woodley, Dr. Aulthouse, Dr. Hoagstrom, Dr. Haines and Dr. Kurtz making sure I had a good grasp of the material in their respective classes," says Perlik. "Never once did they seem too busy to answer my questions, and often we would talk about life after we 'talked shop.' I felt so supported – like the faculty was my own personal cheering section. They really made an impact on me not only educationally, but also personally and professionally."
Perhaps it is her experience receiving support that has helped Perlik become so adept at giving it. Depending on the severity of a patient's impairment, Perlik may work with them for as little as a couple weeks to as long as a year. During those extended periods, staying positive and offering treatment that really works is crucial to earning – and keeping – a patient's trust.
"I had one patient that I worked a really long time with. When she came to me, she was unable to even sit unsupported. I would have to help her sit up. And when we were finished with her therapy, she was walking with just a little bit of help," says Perlik. "That was amazing to see – the look on her face. You can't have a bad day when something like that happens."
If you want amazing days to be a part of your career, contact Dr. Rema Suniga, associate professor of biological sciences, for more information about ONU's option in prephysical therapy.

GOUVERNEUR The owner of a photography studio in the village is suing the Gouverneur Tribune-Press in federal court over claims that the newspaper reproduced dozens of her copyrighted photographs without permission.
According to a complaint filed in January in U.S. District Court, Amy Elliott maintains that the paper infringed upon her rights by copying and distributing at least 38 of her images from about September 2008 until June.
Mrs. Elliott, who operates Impression Studio, shoots portraits including children, high school seniors and weddings, according to her lawsuit and her website.
The suit apparently centers on portraits of high school seniors published annually by the Tribune-Press to honor Gouverneur Foundation scholarship winners, according to an article about the case published in the weekly papers Friday edition.
Messages left for Mrs. Elliott and her attorney, Syracuse-based George R. McGuire of Bond, Schoeneck & King, were not immediately returned on Monday afternoon.
Tribune-Press Publisher M. Dan McClelland referred questions about the case to a New York City attorney, but did say he believed the paper had been acting in good faith.
There was never any intent to hurt anyone on our part, Mr. McClelland said.
Reached by telephone on Monday, defense attorney Robert Penchina declined comment on the case, to which a response has not yet been filed.
In its article, the Tribune-Press said that following a meeting with Mrs. Elliott and her husband, Paul, four years ago, the paper enacted a policy to do its best to secure written permission from photographers whose work is submitted for publication, adding that it not always possible to do so.
According to the article, the paper maintains that most of the photos are provided by the foundation, school officials or the students parents, and that in some cases we know who took the photos, in many cases we dont.
Mrs. Elliotts suit claims that on numerous other occasions the newspaper obtained express permission to copy and distribute copyrighted photographic images owned by Elliott, demonstrating an awareness of her rights and its obligation to obtain permission for reuse.
The article says that Mr. McClelland called Amy Elliott several weekends ago to ask for a meeting but she responded by text message directing him to her attorney.
Court documents reviewed by this newspaper did not include a dollar amount for the damages sought by Mrs. Elliott. The newspapers story calculated that a victory by Mrs. Elliott could cost the publication up to $150,000 in damages.

Global Cooling-Wanna Bet?
To be fair, the bet needs an escape clause in case a big volcano erupts or a big meteorite hits the Earth and causes cooling below the 1994-2004 level. In this eventuality, the forecast of Keenlyside et al. could not be verified any more, and the bet is off.
The bet would also need a neutral arbiter – we propose, for example, the director of the Hadley Centre, home of the data used by Keenlyside et al., or a committee of neutral colleagues. This neutral arbiter would also decide whether a volcano or meteorite impact event is large enough as to make the bet obsolete.
We will discuss the scientific reasons for our assessment here another time – first we want to hear from Keenlyside et al. whether they accept our bet. Our friendly challenge is out – we hope they will accept it in good sportsmanship.
(*) We adopt here the definition of the 10-year intervals as in their paper, which is from 1 November of the first year to 31 October of the last year. I.e.: 2000-2010 means 1 November 2000 until 31 October 2010.
Update: We have now published part 2 of this bet with our scientific arguments.
Update: Andy Revkin has weighed in at "dot earth".

In this file photo, Bill Pranty, center, Audubon of Florida's coordinator for Important Bird Areas, looks for birds at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary with volunteer Judy Johansen after a news conference announcing the partnership between the National Audubon Society and Birdlife International to designate Important Bird Areas, one of which is Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
In this file photo, Pam Pierson, left, and Jennifer Pierson, right, visiting from Indiana, walk around the burned access boardwalk to Gulf Shore Beach. The recycled plastic the boardwalk was made of caught fire in May when a lit cigarette butt was thrown into a trash can. Workers will begin to restore the boardwalk this week with Brazilian Ipe, a dense wood that was used for the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary's boardwalk and is expected to last 100 years before it needs replaced.
In this file photo, over two miles of boardwalk wind through the woods and prairies of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
In this file photo, it was the first trip to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary for seasonal residents Richard Cox, foreground, his wife Felicia Cox and daughter Amy Cox, background. The family found Corkscrew to be different from all the other sanctuaries they had been to. "I enjoyed the Cypress Forests," said Richard.
In this file photo, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is celebrating its 50-year anniversary having opened March 9, 1954. The sanctuary has expanded, adding new structures such as the Blair Audubon Center to help improve the visitor's experience.
In this file photo, a young green tree frog hides itself in the shadow of an Alligator Flag leaf at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Tadpoles that have survived for twelve weeks in the swamp are now becoming juvenile frogs and crawling up the leaves.
In this file photo, a crowd gathers near an egret that has come to feed near the boardwalk of Audubon Society's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. The National Audubon Society will meet this weekend to vote on a deal to expand the sanctuary by almost 3,000 acres.
In this file photo, an alligator works on swallowing its catch as a White Egret, center, and Woodstork hunt for food around the edges of the rapidly shrinking lettuce lake number two at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Collier County is currently the driest place in Southwest Florida. Despite the low water levels and lack of rain water managers are not currently considering further water restrictions. Photo taken Wednesday, March 28, 2007.
In this file photo, a group of juvenile wood-storks mixes in with great egrets during a fly over by Jason Lauritsen, a science director at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, to Wood Storks. Lauritsen does weekly flyovers to count the sites during the nesting season.
In this file photo, orchid enthusiast Prem Subrahmanyam points out a rare cluster of ghosts orchids to his 11-year-old daughter, Hannah Subrahmanyam, while visiting the phenomenon of the endangered orchid at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary with his wife and 12 children from Altamonte Springs.
In this file photo, photographer Rodney J. Wiley sets up his camera equipment to photograph the ghost orchid at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Wiley says that one of the biggest obstacles to getting the perfect frame is the movement of the tourists. "I haven't told people what time I come out because then no one would get a shot of [the orchid]," he says. "There would be too much vibration."
In this file photo, due to dryness in the past year, moon vine has taken over much of the lettuce lake area of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, a habitat that is normally comfortable nesting ground for woodstorks. The species became listed as endangered in 1984, but has generally thrived in southwest Florida until the drought conditions of the last two years. According to biologist Jason Lauritsen, "Southwest Florida has historically been the most important region for woodstorks in biologists' minds, but also the most vulnerable due to land use changes."
In this file photo, Shirley Keller, right, of The Thursday Outdoor Painters, sets up her easel while other visitors look for wildlife at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary on Jan. 8, 2009. The group of artists scattered themselves throughout the swamp using everything from watercolors to pastels to create a scene.

JAMESTOWN, NY - A Jamestown man faces charges for sexual abuse of a child.
Jamestown Police investigators say Jason R. Alexander, 30, was indicted by a grand jury on eight-counts of crimes against children.
Police would not release details, but say the incidents took place over the course of about 10 months.
Alexander is charged with two counts of predatory sex assault against a child, two counts of sexual conduct against a child (1st degree), one count of sexual conduct against a child (2nd degree) and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Alexander was arraigned in Chautauqua County Court and remanded to the county jail.

USO Director of Volunteer Services Betsy McWhirt and USO Manager of Volunteer Operations Sarah Kemp profile the Volunteers of the Quarter, Summer 2013.
It's a familiar story for the USO – a soldier stationed abroad is drawn to the USO for the computers and phones, but from there Specialist Armando Zuniga's story gets interesting. He decided to help.
At first Zuniga's help was in the form of telling others about the services the USO offers, and bringing his friends in to utilize the center. Then, Zuniga began cleaning and organizing the center which led to greeting guests and helping with programs. Now, Zuniga has initiated programing at another military post and finished physically intensive projects that he took upon himself to complete.
"What the USO Vicenza staff admires so much about Armando is how willing and helpful he is at the center. We, the USO Vicenza staff, are able to get so much done here at the center, and a lot of that the past couple months would not have been possible without Armando," said Glenn Gibbs, Center Manager of USO Vicenza.
When he's not helping out with Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday or Bring Your Own Steak Friday, combat engineer Zuniga is sanding picnic tables, organizing the center, offering his restaurant suggestions to curious guests and even cleaning gutters.
Most recently, Zuniga has brought the USO to a whole new audience: single soldiers on the military post Del Din. Without a USO on their post, Zuniga realized the need for morale and welfare. He decided to make it happen by talking to the USO Vicenza staff to host events such as Summer BBQ Bashes, basketball tournaments and Bingo games at Del Din.
"Armando is one of those wonderful volunteers who do not need to be asked to do something," said Gibbs. And as for a great volunteer, we couldn't ask for more.
Arnold "Arnie" Sparr of USO North Carolina, Charlotte Center, is proud to always be by the side of our troops, whether they are on their way to the front lines or returning home to their loved ones. Most of the time Arnie helps to ease the jitters of soldier headed off to a danger zone or to put a smile on the face of troop or family member. But sometimes he's also there to provide care and comfort to the family of a fallen hero.
As a key team member of the Honors Support Team, Arnie doesn't hesitate to rearrange his schedule at the last minute to be at the side of a grieving family meeting their lost loved. His kindness and support are there to help wives, husbands, children and parents through one of life's most difficult moments.
He's also there for the happy times, such as when a fresh-faced recruit proudly hands over his company patch to add to the Charlotte Center display board that Arnie created to hold all the company patches troops have given the USO over the years.
Since he began volunteering more than six years ago, Sparr has donated 3,222 hours to USO of NC, Charlotte Center. In 2013 he has logged the most hours of any volunteer at the center.
"Arnie truly is a selfless individual in all he does. He is loyal, dedicated, and the most passionate person we have seen in our time here at the USO of NC, Charlotte Center. We know that if there is ever a need, Arnie will generously fill that need in any way possible," said Megan Grady, Charlotte Center Director.
Even though he is only scheduled for one weekly shift, Sparr is usually in the center two to three times a week. Sparr will continue to be always by our troops' side whenever there is a need.
We often say that volunteers are the heart and soul of the USO, but now we may need to add one more – the muscle!
A1C Brian Bullock of Hickam Airforce Base in Hawaii handles most of the Coca-Cola donation pick up and deliveries to both the Honolulu International Airport location and the Hickam AFB center. This entails sometimes single handedly picking up 60 cases of water and 60-80 cases of soda each week. Bullock has only been a volunteer since April, and in that short time he has moved 1,260 cases. That's a lot of hydrated troops!
In the hours that he is not lifting water cases and counting food inventory, Bullock is taking care of another type of inventory – handing out care packages to troops and teddy bears to little ones. With 15,000 troops passing through USO Hickam last quarter, Bullock has been integral in making every member of a large troop movement feel appreciated and comfortable.
Bullock is always available to make sure there is volunteer coverage for both Hickam and Honolulu centers whether through volunteering himself or recruiting others in his unit to volunteer as well.
"Brian provides the best possible service. He is a role model to the other active duty members volunteering within his unit, and has volunteered on holidays and military scheduled off days," said Charity Howe, USO Hickam Center Manager.
With his bright smile and caring personality Bullock makes sure everyone who visits USO Hawaii feels like they're part of the USO 'Ohana, or family, for us mainlanders.
It's over 100 degrees on Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan on the Fourth of July, and you are a soldier with some rare free time, what do you do? Most would probably go into air conditioning, relax or celebrate. But for Specialist Raymond "RJ" Castle, the answer was to help USO Kandahar host their KAF Splash Fourth of July Event by wearing a Statue of Liberty costume over top of his uniform in the hot sun, and smiling while doing it.
Since May, Castle has donated 433 hours to USO Kandahar. He spends any spare moment contributing his talents, enthusiasm and caring attitude to lift the spirits of his fellow troops. Castle's easy going attitude and humorous demeanor help all guests relax inside the center. By telling stories of his own family he makes personal connections and encourages other troops to remember the important things in life.
"He is always eager to help center patrons, regardless of their need or situation. When he sees troops who appear to be upset, he is quick to take action to brighten their spirits and encourage them; he is the first to sing, dance and be silly to make troops feel at home in the center," said Rebecca Medeiros, Volunteer Coordinator of USO Kandahar.
Helping prepare for holiday celebrations, Rage in the Cage Dodgeball Tournaments, volleyball or basketball games, and corn hole tournaments are just a few of the activities that Castle enjoys supporting. Additionally, Castle runs USO Kandahar's weekly Texas Hold 'Em Tournament.
When Castle redeploys home USO Kandahar will miss one of their most devoted volunteers … and their Statue of Liberty.
We would love to hear from you.

Tracy Martin, the father of the Miami teen who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, was called to testify on Monday.
[WATCH/CHAT LIVE: Tony Pipitone in courtroom | SPECIAL SECTION: Zimmerman trial]
Trayvon Martin's father was questioned by defense attorney Mark O'Mara about how he said the screaming in the background of a 911 call was not his son.
Tracy Martin said he recalls lead investigator Chris Serino asking him "do you recognize the voice?" Tracy Martin says he answered "I can't tell" and never said "no it wasn't my son's voice."
Tracy Martin denied saying he listened to a "cleaned up" or "enhanced" version of the tape. He also said he never told Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, about listening to the tape.
Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder for fatally shooting Martin, claiming self-defense.

Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian Cysts Overview
Ovarian cysts are small fluid-filled sacs that develop in a woman's ovaries. Most cysts are harmless, but some may cause problems such as rupture, bleeding, or pain. Moreover, surgery may be required in certain situations to remove the cyst(s). It is important to understand the function of the ovaries and how these cysts may form.
Women normally have two ovaries that store and release eggs. Each ovary is about the size of a walnut, and one ovary is located on each side of the uterus. One ovary produces one egg each month, and this process starts a woman's monthly menstrual cycle. The egg is enclosed in a sac called a follicle. An egg grows inside the ovary until estrogen (a hormone), signals the uterus to prepare itself for the egg. In turn, the lining of the uterus begins to thicken and prepare for implantation of a fertilized egg resulting in pregnancy. This cycle occurs each month and usually ends when the egg is not fertilized. All contents of the uterus are then expelled if the egg is not fertilized. This is called a menstrual period.
In an ultrasound image, ovarian cysts resemble bubbles. The cyst contains only fluid and is surrounded by a very thin wall. This kind of cyst is also called a functional cyst, or simple cyst. If a follicle fails to rupture and release the egg, the fluid remains and can form a cyst in the ovary. This usually affects one of the ovaries. Small cysts (smaller than one-half inch) may be present in a normal ovary while follicles are being formed.
Ovarian cysts affect women of all ages. The vast majority of ovarian cysts are functional (physiologic). This means they occur normally and are not part of a disease process. Most ovarian cysts are benign, meaning they are not cancerous, and many disappear on their own in a matter of weeks without treatment. While cysts may be found in ovarian cancer, ovarian cysts typically represent a harmless (benign) condition or a normal process. Ovarian cysts occur most often during a woman's childbearing years.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - A Missouri golfer whose round was interrupted when he was swallowed up by the earth says he's lucky to come out of it with just a shoulder injury.
Mark Mihal of Creve Coeur tumbled into an 18-foot deep sinkhole at an Illinois club just across the river from St. Louis. It's an area experts say is riddled with sinkholes.
Mihal says he was sizing up a shot at the Annbriar Golf Club near Waterloo when he was suddenly "freefalling." He says the tumble took just a second or two but it "felt like forever." Friends hoisted him to safety with a rope after about 20 minutes.
His fall followed the recent death of a man in Florida whose bedroom fell into a sinkhole. That man's body hasn't been found.
Mihal hopes to return to the links soon but says he may have a tough time walking the 14th hole at Annbriar again.

The state attorney generals office should know next month whether its case to close the Hudson River Rafting Co. permanently will proceed.
The attorney generals office is seeking a permanent injunction to close the companys operations at 424 Newell St., Watertown, and rafting trips in the Moose River, Hudson River and Sacandaga River following the death during a rafting trip in September in the Adirondack Mountains.
Last fall, the state Department of Environmental Conservation shut down the company at the urging of the attorney generals office after a Columbus, Ohio, woman died in a rafting accident Sept. 27 on the Indian River in Hamilton County.
State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Giardino must determine whether to allow the case to proceed with a hearing, attorney generals spokeswoman Michelle C. Hook said. The lawyer for the rafting company has until March 8 to file additional court documents that respond to written arguments that the attorney generals office filed earlier this month, she said.
In November, DEC suspended owner Patrick J. Cunninghams guide license and ordered the North Creek company to stop running whitewater rafting trips at all of his operations.
State police arrested the rafting guide, Rory F. Fay, 37, North Creek, on a charge of criminally negligent homicide, accusing him of being drunk during the rafting trip. Two weeks ago, he was given a one-year sentence in the Hamilton County jail after pleading guilty to that charge.
The woman, Tamara Blake, 53, fell out of the raft Mr. Fay was guiding, state police said.
Mr. Fay and Ms. Blake were ejected when the raft hit rapids. Her friend, 53-year-old Richard Clar, also of Columbus, stayed with the raft and eventually steered it to shore. Mr. Fay made it to shore. Ms. Blakes body was found five miles downstream in the Hudson River.
According to court documents, the attorney generals office alleges the company:
n Failed to provide guides licensed by DEC for rafting on the Moose River, Black River and Hudson River.
n Failed to provide guides for rafting excursions when customers did not sign requests to captain their own crafts.
n Failed to give refunds when all promised services were not provided.
n Failed to provide safe rafting trips as advertised.
n Failed to provide guides with licenses to drive a bus to transport customers to and from the rafting sites.
In a separate case, Mr. Cunningham was acquitted in January of two counts of reckless endangerment in connection with rafting trips last spring on the Hudson River. He was accused of getting out of the raft before it reached its destination, so the clients had to fend for themselves. Over the past five years, his guides also have received a dozen tickets for unlicensed rafting trips.
For the past 30 years, Hudson River Rafting has offered seven-mile rafting trips on the Black River on Class III and Class IV rapids from May until Columbus Day. According to the companys website, the company promised safe rafting excursions and said the staff and equipment are top-notch.
Three other companies Adirondack River Outfitters, B.O.B. Rafting and Whitewater Challengers offer whitewater rafting on the Black River.
Mr. Cunninghams attorney, Jason T. Britt, Glens Falls, was out of the office Tuesday and could not be reached for comment.

Comments about Five Ten Guide Tennie Canvas Shoe (Women's) New:
Didn't even have to break it in, this shoe felt great right out of the box. The rubber is so sticky and the shoe itself is comfortable and attractive. I wear them a lot to the boulderfield and they are great for rocky approaches or even light climbing. My only 'con' is that they seem to lose their initial shape easily with lots of wear. A friend who has the warhawks wore them every day through all the seasons for a year and a half and had them last so i am hopeful!

BURLINGTON - The former office manager of Delabruere's Auto Sales in Newport denied embezzlement-related charges during her arraignment in U.S. District Court in Burlington yesterday. Manon Cote, 45, of Newport, pleaded not guilty to a three-count indictment charging her with mail and wire fraud and forging checks while employed by Delabruere's Auto Sales in Newport.
Cote worked for the car dealership beginning in 2000, and the embezzling allegedly began in 2006 and lasted until 2012. She is accused of embezzling about $400,000 from the dealership between 2006 and 2012 by stealing cash from the daily receipts, which she was responsible for depositing into the company's bank account; by trying to cover up the thefts by writing company checks to unauthorized payees and depositing those back into the company account; and by using the company's signature stamp for that purpose.

- hot glue gun and glue
- adhesive vinyl {mine is chalkboard}
- cutting machine or scissors
- chalk or chalk paint pen
Truth is, it's actually pretty fantastic for three reasons.
1. He has an absolute ball and stays focused for the whole project.
2. I don't have to clean paintbrushes.
3. It makes a really neat marbleized effect on the project.
Oh, you also have to paint the wooden ball. We made ours black. Let all that dry.
STEP 2: Cover entire painted surface with Mod Podge to seal the paint. We used Super Gloss to make it nice and shiny, but you can use whatever formula you like best.
STEP 3: Glue bowl to the bottom of the pot. Glue bead to the bottom of the saucer.
STEP 4: Fill bowl with candy and place saucer on top as a lid.
There you have it…a quick, fun, inexpensive project that will add a little whimsy to your home decor. You can make it seasonal, or leave it out year-round. One of the great things about using chalkboard vinyl is that you can change the message whenever you like!

To Moderate or Not to Moderate...
When I shut the polls down here were the results:
On Moderating Comments at DC -
Except for Extreme Abuses Let There be a Free For All 45 (35%)
Continue Moderation As Is 49 (38%)
Be Flexible Depending on the Threat 34 (26%)
A Reader Poll on Comments -My detractors want their cake and eat it too. If I allow a free for all, they'll spam up the combox to the point where no reasonable discussion can take place. There will be personal attack after personal attack, personal charges and counter-charges. That's the nature of the beast when there exists such a potent force like this site with these contributors who speak on the level of the average person for the most part.
Only Prohibit X-Rated Comments 44 (37%)
Prohibit X And R-Rated Comments 4 (3%)
Prohibit X, R-Rated Comments And Personal Attacks 24 (20%)
Prohibit All the Above Plus Ignorant or Troll Comments 35 (29%)
Prohibit All Comments 10 (8%)
If instead we moderate comments, my detractors will claim that I'm censoring speech by prohibiting some very important refutations of our arguments. This is not true nor has it ever been true. We follow a reasonable comment policy.
A third option that I and/or other team members should monitor comments 24 hours a day (or even most of the day) is simply unacceptable.
What my detractors must do is to provide reasons to suggest this Blog would not degenerate as described if there was a free for all, or else they must provide evidence that we have not followed our comment policy.
My goal is to have a reasonable discussion of the ideas that separate us. That's all I have ever wanted. Some people do not share this goal.
Until later, happy surfing!
Oh, and check out a couple of new books linked in the sidebar.

Today is the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. In celebration of this special feast day (Georgetown University is a Jesuit institution), we wanted to share this selection from Saints and Feasts of the Liturgical Year that highlights St. Ignatius.
St. Ignatius of Loyola was born in his family's castle, near Azpeitia, in Spain's Basque country, sometime before October 23, 1491. As a youth, he served (1506?-17) as a page to Juan Velazquez de Cuellar, King Ferdinand V's chief treasurer, and there he learned his courtly manners. In 1517, he entered the service of the Duke of Najera, Viceroy of Navarre, and while defending the fortress at Pamplona was wounded (May 20, 1521) by a cannon shot. He convalesced at Loyola Castle, and by reading a life of Christ as well as those of the saints, he experienced a conversion and resolved to visit the Holy Land and serve the Lord.
On his way to the Holy Land, he stopped at the Benedictine monastery at Montserrat, and there he made a night's vigil (March 24-25, 1522) before the Black Madonna. He then went on to nearby Manresa and spent about eleven months in prayer and penance. After a brief visit to Rome to request papal approval for his pilgrimage, he left Venice and arrived in Jerusalem on September 4, 1523. Less than a month later, he left to return to Venice. He then made his way to Barcelona to begin his studies "in order to help souls." After studies in Barcelona (1524-26), Alcala (1526-27), and Salamanca (1527), Ignatius went to the University of Paris (1528-35), and there he gathered a group of six like-minded men. On August 15, 1534, in a Montmartre chapel, the small band of seven took a vow to go to Jerusalem within a year after their studies, if this were possible, and work for the conversion of the Turks. After their arrival in Venice (1537), they learned that they could not sail for the Holy Land because of imminent war; hence, they went (November 1567) to Rome and offered (November 18-23, 1538) their services to Pope Paul III.
After Ignatius and his first companions decided to form a new religious congregation, their plans received Paul III's approval (September 27, 1540), and thus the Society of Jesus was born. Ignatius was then elected general and accepted the office on April 19, 1541; on April 22, in a ceremony at St. Paul Outside-the-Walls, the six pronounced their vows as Jesuits. As a general of the new order, Ignatius remained in Rome, wrote its Constitutions, and supervised the Society's growth, not only in Italy, but in the other countries of Europe as well. He likewise sent missionaries to India. Because of the excessive acts of penance he had practiced while at Manresa, his health had been severely impaired. St. Ignatius died in Rome on July 31, 1556, and was canonized by Pope Gregory XV on March 12, 1622. His Spiritual Exercises had been first approved by Pope Paul III on July 31, 1548, and on July 25, 1922, Pope Pius XI named him heavenly patron of all Spiritual Exercises.
