To whom it may concern,
I'm here in a behalf of a group of Thai people who are enlightened by FSM's noodly touch. The group would like to spread his wisdom to wake people up by creating a FSM Thailand website.

We would like to know whether or not you would like to use this mascot as well. If so, we will send high quality .png files to you.

This guideline offers best practice advice on the assessment and management of people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse.
Psychosis is a condition that affects a person's mental state, including their thoughts, mood and behaviour. The symptoms of psychosis are:
- hallucinations – hearing voices and sometimes seeing things that are not really there
- delusions – having fixed beliefs that are false but which the person believes in completely.
Substance misuse is a broad term encompassing, in this guideline, the harmful use of any psychotropic substance, including alcohol and either legal or illicit drugs. Use of such substances is harmful when it has a negative effect on a person's life, including their physical and mental health, relationships, work, education and finances or leads to offending behaviour.

GorillaPod Original
Flexible tripod for point-and-shoot cameras weighing up to 325g (11.5 oz)
In Stock
Using the GorillaPod Original Camera Tripod
with Point and Shoot Cameras
The flexible joints of GorillaPod Original can bend and rotate 360°, which offers infinite positioning possibilities for your point and shoot camera. If you position your camera tripod legs correctly, you camera can stay secure and balanced for hours.
Step 1: Stabilize the left and right sidesSecure one leg to the left of your camera, and then secure one leg to the right of your camera. By positioning one leg to the left and one to the right, you prevent the camera from slipping sideways.
Stabilize the left and right of the camera with two legs
Step 2: Prevent the camera from moving forwards or backwardsThe third tripod leg should be used to prevent the camera from slipping forwards or backwards. By positioning one leg directly in front of your camera, you prevent the camera from drooping, slipping or sliding forward.
Conversely, place the third leg directly behind the camera if you feel it tilting backwards.
Stabilize the front of the camera with the third tripod leg
Step 3: Adjust your cameraOnce the GorillaPod legs are secure, grip the GorillaPod Original with one hand. With your other hand, adjust the position of your camera so the subject of your photo is perfectly framed. Better photographs in three easy steps!
After the camera tripod is secure, adjust the tripod head

If properly treated, testicular cancer is one of the least dangerous cancers. Over 90% of all cases can be cured.
As with any cancer, cure is most readily and reliably obtained when every cancer cell has been eliminated. Because testicular cancer is most often found at an early stage (because men report problems with their testicles quite readily to their doctors), cure is the most common result.
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for both seminoma and nonseminoma type tumors. Radiotherapy after surgery is always considered when the cancer is early and is a seminoma. More controversial is how to treat the nonseminoma tumors after surgery.
Some advocate chemotherapy in all patients, while some recommend only giving it to patients with more advanced disease, including those whose disease has spread to the lymph nodes. Radiotherapy is not usually given to patients with nonseminoma tumors unless the cancer has come back after chemotherapy or is very large.
Some forms of treatment may affect your fertility. If you would like to be able to have children after treatment, talk to your doctor about your options. You may want to have your semen frozen for possible future use.
Treatment may involve the following:SurgeryRadiation therapyChemotherapyMedications

As if flying already didn't cost an arm and a leg, people keep thinking of ways the airlines can make you pay extra. Among the latest ideas, basing your fare on how much you weigh.
Professor Bharat Bhatta argues that by reducing the weight on a plane by a little more than 2 pounds will result in fuel savings of $3,000 a year.
Bhatta is proposing that passengers self-declare their weight when they book a ticket.
One airline is already charging passengers based on their weight. Samoa Air, operating out of the Pacific, charges passengers by the pound.
Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines already requires oversized passengers to book 2 seats.

Beautiful Ruins (P.S.)by Jess Walter
Staff Pick
Jess Walter gets nearer the Pulitzer with Beautiful Ruins. Chance meetings during the 1962 filming of Cleopatra in Italy set in motion events that spiral into the present day. Walter captures perfectly how the best part of life is that it doesn't turn out at all like we thought it would. There's humor, tragedy, redemption, and one of the most joyful endings you will ever read.
An epic story moving from the Italian coast in 1962 to current-day Hollywood, Beautiful Ruins is an absolutely wonderful novel. It reminds the reader that life really is both sad and lovely at the same time. Walter skillfully weaves together the lives of his many characters that span generations and countries to a very satisfying conclusion. I highly recommend this stunning and original novel.
This isn't only my top pick for the year; it's also one of my all-time favorite books. Jess Walter has created a masterpiece of storytelling. Beautiful Ruins is both hilarious and heartbreaking, and the characters live on in your mind long after you finish the book. Once you've read it, you'll want everyone you know to read it because it's so fantastic.
How to describe Beautiful Ruins? It's such an odd yet enchanting book. The characters are a quirky mix of the commonplace and the extraordinary: a befuddled innkeeper from a tiny Italian town, a haunted ex-military wannabe novelist, a beautiful but sick young starlet, a hideously nipped-and-tucked aging movie producer, a stranded, strung-out musician, a screenwriter pitching a movie on the Donner Party, and Richard Burton. What? Yes, Richard Burton. It all seems eccentric and decidedly bizarre, yet Beautiful Ruins is a thoroughly lovely book. Witnessing the craftsmanship with which Walter braids these characters' story threads together is beautiful indeed. Funny, sweet, heart-wrenching, and profound, Beautiful Ruins has all of your literary touch points covered.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the moment it opens — on a rocky patch of Italian coastline, circa 1962, when a daydreaming young innkeeper looks out over the water and spies a mysterious woman approaching him on a boat — Jess Walter's Beautiful Ruins is a dazzling, yet deeply human, roller coaster of a novel. From the lavish set of Cleopatra to the shabby revelry of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to the back lots of contemporary Hollywood, Beautiful Ruins is gloriously inventive and constantly surprising — a story of flawed yet fascinating people navigating the rocky shores of their lives while clinging to their improbable dreams.
"Well-constructed…quirky and entertaining tale of greed, treachery, and love." Publishers Weekly
"This is a blockbuster, with romance, majesty, comedy, smarts, and a cast of thousands. There's lights, there's camera, there's action. If you want anything more from a novel than Jess Walter gives you in Beautiful Ruins, you're getting thrown out of the theater." Daniel Handler, author of Why We Broke Up and creator of Lemony Snicket
"Why mince words? Beautiful Ruins is an absolute masterpiece." Richard Russo, author of That Old Cape Magic and Empire Falls
"[N]othing less than brilliant, a tour de force that crosses decades, continents, and genres, to powerful and often hilarious effect....A masterful novel of love, loss, and hard-won hope that satisfies on every level." Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
"Within a page-turner of a plot, these triumphantly vulnerable characters leap off the page to take up permanent residence in your inner life. The effect is so powerful that to be untouched by Beautiful Ruins might well be like having no inner life at all." Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction
"A brilliant, madcap meditation on fate....Walter's prose is a joy-funny, brash, witty and rich with ironic twists. He's taken all of the tricks of the postmodern novel and scoured out the cynicism, making for a novel that's life-affirming but never saccharine." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A novel shot in sparkly Technicolor...re-imagines history in a package so appealing we'd be idiots not to buy it." Library Journal (starred review)
"A marvel, an absolute gem of a beach read that is both hilarious and heartbreaking." Huffington Post
"Walter vividly draws a world both tender and cutthroat, where ambition battles reality, daydreams fight doldrums and sometimes win." Interview
"Lyrical, heartbreaking, and funny....Walter closes the deal with such command that you begin to wonder why up till now he's not often been mentioned as one of the best novelists around. Beautiful Ruins might just correct that oversight." Kansas City Star
"A monument to crazy love....Walter [is] a believer in capricious destiny with a fine, freewheeling sense of humor." New York Times
"Expertly scratches the seasonal itch for both literary depth and dazzle." Entertainment Weekly
"A novel with pathos, piercing wit and, most important, the generous soul of a literary classic....Walter has planted himself firmly in the first rank of American authors." Boston Globe
"Beautiful....A shining, imaginative tale...Beautiful Ruins shows novelists how it is done." The Plain Dealer
"A literary miracle." Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air
"His [Walter's] characters are long-suffering, prone to failure and sometimes at death's door. But the verve and enthusiasm of this novel, from its lets-go-everywhere structure to the comedy in the marrow of its sentences, are wholly life-affirming." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Entrancing novel…Walter's turns of phrase are as brilliant as his plot twists, making for a compelling, fun read." People
"Beautiful Ruins is satisfying and delicate, a spectacular story of love, frustration, selfish intent, and the patience of the human heart." The Stranger
"[A] high-wire feat of bravura storytelling....[Walter's] mixture of pathos and comedy stirs the heart and amuses as it also rescues us from the all too human pain that is the motor of this complex and ever-evolving novel." New York Times Book Review
"A beautiful narrative....This writer is a genius of the modern American moment." Philadelphia Inquirer
"His masterpiece...an interlocking, continent-hopping, decade-spanning novel with heart and pathos to burn, all big dreams, lost loves, deep longings and damn near perfect." Salon
"Walter is a very, very funny writer and can do Hollywood satire with the best of them. But this is also a novel with a live, beating heart, full of sympathy for its characters and a gut wisdom…You'll want to explore these Ruins." Newsday
"It is a powerful and lush book." Selma Blair, the New York Post
The acclaimed, award-winning author of the national bestseller The Financial Lives of the Poets returns with his funniest, most romantic, and most purely enjoyable novel yet. Hailed by critics and loved by readers of literary and historical fiction, Beautiful Ruins is the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962... and is rekindled in Hollywood fifty years later.
About the Author
Jess Walter is the author of the national bestseller The Financial Lives of the Poets, the National Book Award finalist The Zero, the Edgar Award-winning Citizen Vince, Land of the Blind, and the New York Times Notable Book Over Tumbled Graves. He lives in Spokane, Washington, with his family.

Great menu and options! Will go out of my way to eat here!
Enjoy the sandwiches. Bread falls apart but the taste is worth it
1404 Texas Avenue South, College Station, TX 77805
Great food and they took extra care to make sure the God was prepared seperately to minimize any chance of cross contamination. I will be back and often! The club sandwich was delicious!
4001 S Loop 289, Lubbock, TX 79423
I stick to the salad bar minus the trail mix and seeds/nuts because they are so close to the muffins and I've seen croutons in the seeds and nuts containers before. My son gets the gf chicken nuggets but be aware if you get a sandwich on gf bread they toast it in the same toaster as the regular bread! Don't toast your gf sandwich if you're celiac or gluten sensitive! I love all the options they have though, the soups are always delicious!
1506 Airport Boulevard, Pensacola, FL 32504
They had a gluten free menu but there were bread crumbs EVERYWHERE on their prep bar. Did not look celiac friendly at all!! We turned around and left.
1975 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy, Louisville, KY 40220
They are honest about not being a completely gluten free facility, yet their website offers an allergy-free menu option to help you design your meal. I was able to create a gluten and dairy free meal that did not leave me feeling ill. The online menu option also allows you to view nutritional information, which is helpful. As always, trust your gut and never be afraid to ask questions if you are concerned about getting ill.
2120 Cumberland Ave, Knoxville, TN 37916
I had a GF sandwich on UDI'S bread and it was very tasty
133 North Peters Road, Knoxville, TN 37923
Great salad bar. I've never had a problem and they now have a great gluten free cookie to have with your ice cream.
5920 Holly Avenue NE Suite A, Albuquerque, NM 87113
Fantastic! Staff is very knowledgeable. Servers clean area and changed gloves when making the gf sandwich. Menu depicts which items are and aren't gf. They even have gf cookies!
7505 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22043
When I arrived they showed me the purple box that they use to make all GF orders. The gluten free kit. My food came and the box was never moved. When asked they said they used the purple box. I told them how that the box never mover.... Manager came back to apologize and made new food with box. Be careful!!
2300 E McFarland Blvd. Suite 10, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404
Always had a great experience eating here and lived in the area for a year. I have celiac and it's a great place to grab a quick meal.
7505 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22043
WARNING TO CELIACS... There is occasionally some confusion on the bacon. It is not gluten free. Bacon is gluten free naturally but the device in which they cook it is shared with bread. Great deli!
8874 McGaw Rd, Columbia, MD 21045
Exceptional deli, well-trained staff. They usually ask if it's an allergy, if they don't then just tell them. They will change their gloves and not use the toaster etc. Good food. Get the California Club and hummus with blue chips!!! Don't forget the free ice cream, vanilla is better than chocolate here imo WARNING TO CELIACS... There is occasionally some confusion on the bacon. It is not gluten free. Bacon is gluten free naturally but the device in which they cook it is shared with bread.
7356 Baltimore Ave., College Park, MD 20740
great deli for a GF meal. They seem to be well trained, I've never gotten sick here. WARNING TO CELIACS... There is occasionally some confusion on the bacon. It is not gluten free. Bacon is gluten free naturally but the device in which they cook it is shared with bread.
2159 York Rd, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093
This has become my favorite deli. Their salads are amazing and of course they have Udi's! They take great care when preparing gluten-free orders. GF is on the receipt so there are no mistakes. WARNING TO CELIACS... There is occasionally some confusion on the bacon. It is not gluten free. Bacon is gluten free naturally but the device in which they cook it is shared with bread.
452A N Thompson Lane, Murfreesboro, TN 37129
Great gf options, and they go the extra mile to separately package and label my food when part of a larger order. Would have given them 5 stars, but I have experienced several delays and long waits at Jason's.
3065 Mallory Lane, Franklin, TN 37067
I had a turkey sandwich on GF bread. The bread tasted like Udi's (and I also noticed they sell Udi's cookies). Sandwich came wrapped with a sticker on the wrapper indicating GF. It was tasty and I like that it came with a pickle!
6061 East Broadway Boulevard, Tucson, AZ 85711
My body says cross contamination is a real issue here. Just sooooo much bread in the air, I guess :/
1308 E. EXP 83, McAllen, TX 78501
great selection of food. The bread is great, not hard or crumbly like other gf opting
1000 S. Rampart Suite 2, Las Vegas, NV 89128
I got an expensive meat-filled sandwich on Udi bread. I could have made it better at home. It's definitely gluten free, but not very tasty.
100 City Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89106
Excellent food! This place was very accommodating and the staff was well educated as to what precautions need to be made for GF eating. Our non gf vegetarian friend also enjoyed his meal. Very hearty and filling. Good value for the money and excellent precautions taken.
3032 John Hawkins Parkway, Hoover, AL 35226
An associate explained that this store has 1 dedicated GF person every day. This person doesn't touch anything else to prevent cross-contamination. All their hot GF sandwiches go through a separate oven that is dedicated to GF food. I eat the GF soups and sandwiches here all the time and have not had a problem. They do a great job!
3140 S Iowa St #110, Lawrence, KS 66046
Love this place. Knowledgeable about celiac and preventing cross contamination. GF items on salad bar are marked as so. Just a great place for a sandwich and salad without having to worry about getting glutenized.
178 S. Rio Grande Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
They let me know I could order any sandwich I wanted with gluten free bread. I was worried about how the bread would taste but it was great! They brought it to me wrapped up, like it was prepared on a paper wrapper instead of straight on the prep counter. Will be returning for lunches in the future.
419 Cross Creek Mall, Fayetteville, NC 28303
We eat at this location every time we're in Fayetteville. My daughter and I both have celiac disease and the employees always handle our orders well.
11740 West Broad St. Suite 106, Richmond, VA 23233
I eat here almost 2 times a week. If you're specific when you're ordering about needing to be GF they make a point of changing gloves and preparing my salad in a separate area. love this place.
1509 W New Haven Ave, Melbourne, FL 32904
We went to eat here and looked at the menu and it was "gluten-sensitive" I have celiac and I saw lots of cross-contamination 😢 I don't recommended this to people with celiac 😭
775 Yard Street #190, Grandview Heights, OH 43212
Very friendly staff. Knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. Great food and big selection.
210 Crossroads Blvd, Cary, NC 27518
Great baked potatoes, wonderful for gluten free
824 Woods Crossing Road, Greenville, SC 29607
Affordable, good gluten free sandwich options, and very family-friendly.
583 Brookwood Village, Birmingham, AL 35209
They use Udi's Bread which I love. Also, the store manager was thoughtful enough to offer to sell me a loaf if I ever had trouble finding it anywhere.
2555 Canyon Springs Parkway, Riverside, CA 92507
YUMMY Toasted Udis bread with hot Pastrami /mustard /Cheese ---baked potato chips Soft serve icecream (no cone) Designated GF Menu / KNIFE /cutting board GF menu with several items
3910 University Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50266
I always order the nutty mixed salad. For taste it is always a 10 out of 10. I have had mixed experiences here. Make sure everything is correct with your order. Great food!
5808 Line Ave, Shreveport, LA 71106
Jason's Deli is at the TOP of my list. Papa Joe's on Gluten-free bread is personal favorite :-) Salads are delicious, black currant tea and ice cream is an "added bonus" ... Great service and nice people! Every time :D
149 Arnould Blvd., Lafayette, LA 70506
Disclaimer- I have highly reactive celiac disease and can't handle any cross-contamination. Their 'gluten-sensitive' options are hit and miss if you have celiac- go for the soup, stay away from the bread if cross-contamination is an issue, don't touch the salad bar's toppings- but they do warn you that it's not celiac safe. They have gluten-free bread, but their grill, press, toaster, and even sandwich-making surfaces and knives for cutting them are going to cross-contaminate it. The almonds, sunflower seeds, and the nuts/berries mix are placed directly in front of the croutons, and frequently have croutons in them, so avoid these if you have celiac. Stick to the salad bar and maybe a soup and it's celiac safe.
17275 North 79th Ave Suite 100, Glendale, AZ 85308
They have a good set of choices for gluten free eating. We learned that they need to mark it at the register. You will see on your receipt that it was marked. They wash their hands and change gloves as well as have a separate prep area for gluten free dishes. My salad came in a separate, covered container with a sticker on it. I did not get sick and am sensitive to cross contamination.
2159 York Rd, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093
they deliver! I was so happy I found this today, I ran out of things for dinner and did not want to go pick anything up. they were on time and the food is delicious. I was sooo pleased with how many options there were for me as I cannot do gluten or dairy. I was also very impressed with how easy and thorough it is to order online. it made my life so easy and I really enjoyed my sandwiches. I was also very happy because my sandwich was stacked high and the bread did not fall apart at all and it was definitely large enough to hold all the contents for a mess free sandwich experience.
4302 W Waco Dr., Waco, TX 76710
This place is sensational. It was a delight to discover that it exists. They went so far as to ask, on the phone when I ordered, whether it was for "an allergy" or "a lifestyle choice." I asked them the difference and they said that they took a lot more care if you said it was for an allergy. That is wonderful, as far as I'm concerned. The food was also delicious.
Dallas Love Field Airport, 8008 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, TX 75235
Nice people but only one GF option---soup. Not worth the stop.
7406 W 34th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79121
Think they gave regular bread instead of gf. Half a sandwich made me very sick.
8321 East 61st St, Tulsa, OK 74133
wonderful service, gluten knowledgeable, my turkey sandwich was yummy. celiac people might beable to eat hear.
5231 University Parkway, Sarasota, FL 34201
Sandwiches are good; they use Udi's gf bread. As a previous reviewer said, they ask if it is a preference or allergy. They change gloves and limit cross contamination with the sandwiches. I have not let my daughter with celiac try the salad bar because there are croutons and other gluten items on it. I think the risk of cross contamination is too high to eat at the salad bar.
7455 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
As far as gluten free, you can have most anything on the gluten free bread but I found them to be very pricey for the type of food it is plus you pay more for the bread.
950 Ed Noble Drive, Norman, OK 73072
I really really enjoyed my gluten free bread. 100% my favorite gluten free sandwich bread I've had.
1700 Willow Lawn Dr Ste 105, Richmond, VA 23230
The menu clearly states "Jason's Deli is not a gluten-free environment". A number of items are marked as "Gluten-Sensitive".
2335 Apalachee Pkwy, Tallahassee, FL 32301
Not very good quality. Even my two companions who are not gluten free said the regular food was pretty bad.
1281 Warm Springs Road, Henderson, NV 89014
Amazing GF selection!!! This place is great for GF and non GF eaters!!! So clean! Staff wonderful. Gf menu easy to read!! Prices great! I will come back!!!!
7406 W 34th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79121
Staff is always so friendly and I've never gotten "glutened" here before. I've eaten here countless times and their food is excellent! So many items to choose from!!
410 North Hurstbourne Parkway, Louisville, KY 40222
Gluten free sandwich was made just the way I wanted. Staff very accommodating & knowledgeable.

Super knowledgeable staff and conscience of needs. Their options for fixings is so fun. Their ice cream quality is quite poor since it's basically ice milk, but their chocolate sauce is delicious. It almost makes up for it. Haha.

It is very tough to beat the same team three times in an evenly matched series.
That is one of the law of averages of the sporting world.
Third-seeded Norwood-Norfolk was dealing with the probability factor in visiting second seeded OFA on Wednesday for a Section 10 Division II Hockey semi-final game.
So the Icemen used their team speed to stay one step of ahead of the law of averages and one goal ahead of OFA for the third time this season in a 2-1 victory.
The Icemen, who played a penalty free game, opened a 2-0 lead on goals by Zeb Brown and Dan Fyckes and then defended a 2-1 margin after the Devils were energized by a Brandon Mullins Section 10 high 22nd goal of the season with 5:36 remaining in the third period.
In matchup of sophomore goaltenders N-Ns Brandon Richards handled 21 saves with 10 in the first period and OFAs David Prudhomme stopped 24 with nine in the first period.
Norwood-Norfolk is tough matchup for us because they have good quickness up and down their lineup, said OFA Associate Coach Matt Morley after the 12-8-2 Icemen advanced to meet top-seeded St. Lawrence Central in Sundays Division II Championship Game (3 p.m. Clarkson Cheel Center) and ended OFAs season at 10-7-4.
That quickness allows them to put a lot of pressure on us.
According to N-N Coach Paul Durant team speed was also a major asset in the defensive scheme which was centered around containing the explosive elusiveness of Mullin.
OFA is an outstanding team and to beat them three times and to win twice at the Golden Dome is a great achievement. When we played OFA, our first goal is to neutralize Brandon Mullin as much as possible. He is a great player and a great kid, said Durant.
On defense we like to keep someone deep and we did a very good at being aware of where Brandon was. Overall we played a tremendous game and I am just so proud of the guys.
The Icemens forecheck created a sustained scramble which produced the first goal at 5:25 of the first period. Kaden Pickering flipped the puck into a crowd of players in front of the net and it deflected off Brown into the net. Austin Cousineau also picked up an assist on the play.
Twenty-eight seconds into the second period the lead became 2-0 when Dan Fyckes carried the out of the puck out of his defensive zone and scored unassisted on a long wrist shot.
OFA used deli gent forechecking to revive their cause when Mullin neatly converted the rebound of a shot from the point by Burke Comeau. Jake Garrison drew an assist by blocking a clearing attempt and passing the puck to Comeau.
It was playoff hockey at its best. We both hit a few posts and missed a few chances and both Brandon (Richards) and Dave (Prudhomme) made great saves, said Durant.
Just as he has done all season Brandon Short anchored our defense. Late in the game he stayed on the ice for some extra time and made three great plays. OFA Coach Jon Frederick spoke about the end a very good season and the fine careers of his seniors.
Our seniors won a lot of hockey games. They played on a division championship team as ninth graders and on a second place teams the past two years. They got to Cheel twice for the sectional finals, said Frederick.
Gian Rufa really played a big role for us. He moved to defense after playing forward for his whole career and he was a real leader back there. Jon Tayler played a strong game for us tonight, he made several nice rushes.
SLC 5 - Malone 2:Ian Lynch scored two goals as the Larries (15-5-1) beat No. 4 Malone in Brasher Falls.
Nathan Stickney, Luke Arquiett and Kody Kocsis also scored for St. Lawrence Central.
We came out and played hard for the first five or six minutes and I thought we had the edge territorially in the first period, SLC coach Mickey Locke said. Our kids didnt get frustrated. They stayed on task and kept their focus and came up with a big win.
Kyler Head and Tanner Studlack scored for the Huskies (9-11-1).

The Moshi pillows are generally a gift for children. They come as different cartoon characters. They come in a few different shapes and sizes, and are filled with tiny beads.

The Carbon track team traveled to Delta to compete against one of the top teams in the state on March 24. and according to Coach Jimmy Jewkes they fared pretty well.
The team is coming off its second place finish at Moab. At that tournament the guys were two points away from taking first place. Jewkes reported that the competition in Delta was a little tougher but the Dino's came through with a great performance.
On the boys side Travis Hepworth placed first in the high jump after winning a jump off for the spot. Hepworth also placed sixth in the 300 meter hurdles. Paul Goodrich placed second in the two mile and sixth in the mile and James McKendrick placed ninth in the javelin.
For the ladies Chantel Jensen placed third in the high jump with Megan Garvin placing fifth.
Freshman Felecia Olmos made the finals in both the long jump and the 200 meter dash. "I was really impressed with her, she did very well for being the youngest competitor at the meet," said coach Jewkes. Olmos went on to place seventh in both events.
"We didn't have our whole team with but we had a lot of people set personal best times," said coach Jewkes. "We used this meet to see where we stand in the region and it looks to be a very exciting year," concluded the Carbon coach.
The track team will be traveling to North Sanpete on April 3.

Clinical Utility Of Genetic Screening For HLA-B*5701, On Susceptibility To Abacavir Hypersensitivity
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Study to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*5701 screening on the incidence of abacavir hypersensitivity (ABC HSR) in 1800 previously ABC-naive adults with HIV-1 from Europe, Australia and other countries as applicable. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*5701 prior to ABC-containing HAART results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected HSR versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*5701 prior to ABC-containing HAART, results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed HSR versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 28-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected ABC HSR and a subset of ABC-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening). Subjects identified as HLA-B*5701 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive ABC and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected ABC HSR during the 6-week observation will be withdrawn from ABC-containing product and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.

Desert Diamond Cup
Select shots from the Fire's loss to New England
Select shots from the Fire's 2-0 win over FC Tucson.
...what a horrible lead-in to this one.
We strapped Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson up with a GoPro as Aron Hyde put him through the paces at Thursday's training session. See through the eyes of one of the USA's best goalkeepers in this video:
Chicago Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis had a number of classy goals during his playing career. While he'll tell you his most memorable was the one he scored vs. South Korea at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the goal of his that will forever stick in my mind is this one he scored four games into his stay with Hannover 96 in 2004.
Towards the end of training today, Clint drafted Head Coach Frank Yallop, Goalkeeping Coach Aron Hyde and Sean Johnson into service to cross him balls for this clinic. While he didn't hit the target on every attempt, we have to give it up to Fire Equipment Manager Allan Araujo for helping Clint with one trick shot...
Heading to Arizona to catch the Fire play FC Tucson this weekend? Following the match (set for 1:00pm Mountain Time), the club is hosting a Happy Hour for Fire supporters in the hotel bar at the Desert Diamond Casino (7350 S. Nogales Hwy; Tucson) from 5:30-7:30pm MT.
Fire Head Coach & Director of Soccer Frank Yallop as well as Technical Director Brian Bliss will be on hand for the event, the first few drinks are on us and appetizers will be provided.
All Fire fans in and around Tucson are welcome to attend!

Dr. Elizabeth A. Hays-Lohrey's Ratings
Astute at sensing what her clients are thinking and feeling. Conveys a sense of warmth, acceptance and respect. Genuinely cares and invests in her clients emotional and mental well-being and has a tremendous amount of compassion and empathy that never runs dry. With a sharp and curious mind, her analytical skills, communication skills and observation skills are always helpful in short term or long term treatment of her clients as she is not only able to understand her clients but also able to communicate with them in a way that they understand her assessment of them as well as helping them assess themselves in a more healthy way. I went to her as a pile of broken pieces and i am confident that I will eventually be whole again, as we work together to analyze and polish each piece as we integrate them. After years of unproductive therapy with other therapists, I finally can say IT WORKS. Dr. Elizabeth Hays-Lohrey ...call her...you won't be disappointed, ever.

Two motorcyclists were injured in Sunday accidents in Watauga County. An accident just after noon injured the cyclist as a vehicle traveling US 321 went left of center and struck the cyclist near Aho Road.
Reports indicate that the cyclist suffered a broken ankle and was transported by Watauga Medics. Trooper Suttle investigated the accident.
A second motorcyclist was hurt in a 5:25pm accident on Howards Creek Road at Doe Ridge Road as 46-year old Kevin Pennington tried to remove a plastic bag that blew into his cycle. The state patrol said that he lost control of his cycle and crashed, causing a broken collar bone, according to the first responders on the scene. Pennington was taken to Watauga Medical Center for treatment.

Apr 4, 2012Let It Snow
Not really, just thought it would get your attention. March is a strange outdoor month for me. The ice becomes unsafe for fishing. If you can fish the ice, most fish are pretty lethargic prior to ice out. I'm just coming off the show circuit and need a bit of a focus change.

Warm temperatures on Europe's glaciers have led some summer ski resorts to close early, but the majority remain open and the leading snow-reporting service http://www.skiinfo.com target=_blank>Skiinfo.com has snow depth details for all of them. The company tracks snow conditions several times daily, year round, at more than a thousand European ski resorts, including the dozen that are currently offering summer snow sports.
Giant ski areas - the largest in the world - are a hallmark of French skiing. These sprawling arenas of interconnected lifts, runs and resort centers are so vast that even the brawniest North American resorts look Lilliputian in comparison. (Imagine six Whistler Blackcombs tethered together.) With the comparatively modest 24,000 contiguous skiable acres of Espace Killy out its back door, Val d'Isère is hardly the largest of the French megaresorts (a mere three Whistler Blackcombs).

CORNISH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Mark Call, the co-owner of Shop 'N Save in Cornish, strongly believes that if it hadn't been for social media, a shoplifter would have never been caught.
Cornish is your typical small town where everyone knows everyone, and they're eager to help each other out when someone needs it. After someone walked out of Call's Shop 'N Save with unpaid items, Call spoke with the York County Sheriff's Department to begin an investigation. Investigators told Call the case was probably going to be left unsolved due to the lack of information they had on the shoplifter. That's when he turned to his store's Facebook fans and offered a $100 reward for anyone who could positively identify the man in the surveillance video.
"Due to the outreach of the community, this is an example of where social media...I know a lot of people gripe about social media. There's a lot of negative, but there's a lot of positive," Call said. "This is where the community actually came together to help us identify someone that we never woul dhave found had it not been for social media."
After an hour, Call received several tips as to who the shoplifter was, and after three hours, the shoplifter turned himself in. Plus, everyone who helped identify the thief refused to take the $100 reward.

Atonementby Ian McEwan
2002 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction
2001 Booker Prize Shortlist
Staff Pick
A young girl sees her older sister and a man in a situation she doesn't understand, and subsequently makes an accusation that changes the course of all three lives. This is a study of a life-long search for forgiveness and atonement. McEwan is at his best here. An amazing and excellent book!
"This twist, this revelation, further emphasizes the novel's already explicit ambivalence about being a novel, and makes the book a proper postmodern artifact, wearing its doubts on its sleeve, on the outside, as the Pompidou does its escalators. But it is unnecessary....because the fineness of the book as a novel, as a distinguished and complex evocation of English life before and during the war, burns away the theoretical, and implants in the memory a living, flaming presence." James Wood, The New Republic (read the entire New Republic review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeepers son Robbie Turner, a childhood friend who, along with Brionys sister, has recently graduated from Cambridge.
By the end of that day the lives of all three will have been changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had never before dared to approach and will have become victims of the younger girls scheming imagination. And Briony will have committed a dreadful crime, the guilt for which will color her entire life.
In each of his novels Ian McEwan has brilliantly drawn his reader into the intimate lives and situations of his characters. But never before has he worked with so large a canvas: In Atonement he takes the reader from a manor house in England in 1935 to the retreat from Dunkirk in 1941; from the Londons World War II military hospitals to a reunion of the Tallis clan in 1999.
Atonement is Ian McEwans finest achievement. Brilliant and utterly enthralling in its depiction of childhood, love and war, England and class, the novel is at its center a profound-and profoundly moving-exploration of shame and forgiveness and the difficulty of absolution.
"Moving deftly between styles, this is a compelling exploration of guilt and the struggle for forgiveness." Library Journal
"A beautiful and majestic fictional panorama." John Updike, The New Yorker
"Not since the 19th century has a writer stepped in and out of his characters' minds with such unfettered confidence." The Plain Dealer
"Ian McEwan's latest novel is probably his finest yet. His stories emanate from the out-of-the-ordinary occurrences that would, however, be less dramatic if they were perceived to be so. But McEwan is fascinated with the workings of perception and with how one person's molehill is another's mountain...." Laurice Taitz, Sunday Times, South Africa
"No one now writing fiction in the English language surpasses Ian McEwan." The Washington Post Book World
"McEwan at his most closely observed and psychologically penetrating, and his most sweeping and expansive....With each book McEwan ranges wider, and his powers have never been more fully in evidence than here." Publishers Weekly
"Magical....A love story, a war story, and a story about stories, and so it hits the heart, the guts and the brain." The New York Observer
"Astonishing....[with] one of the most remarkable erotic scenes in modern fiction....[It] is something you will never forget." Chicago Tribune
In this rich novel by the author of the Booker Prize-winning novel "Amsterdam, " a young girl unwittingly tells a tale that turns her family upside down. Brilliant and utterly enthralling in its depiction of childhood, love and war, England and class, "Atonement" is at its center a profound--and profoundly moving--exploration of shame and forgiveness, of atonement and the difficulty of absolution.
About the Author
Ian McEwan has written two collections of stories, First Love, Last Rites and In Between the Sheets, and eight novels, The Cement Garden, The Comfort of Strangers, The Child in Time — winner of the 1987 Whitbread Novel of the Year Award — The Innocent, Black Dogs, The Daydreamer, Enduring Love, and Amsterdam — winner of the 1998 Booker Prize.

4,500 square metres of silicon solar cells on 20,000 square metres of land (approximately three football fields) transform sunlight directly into electric current; they produce about 600,000 kWh of electricity annually which can be used to provide electricity to 200 households. The Mount Soleil power station is also one of the biggest research and demonstration facilities in the field of photovoltaic power.
A well-established educational trail links the two mountains, Mount Soleil and Mount Crosin, in an appealing and enjoyable manner. Embedded in the typical landscape of the Bernese Jura, the trail leads you from one information board to the next, compellingly explaining everything you might wish to know about power supplies, wind energy, photovoltaic energy, the Jura wildlife and landscape, agriculture, and tourism.
An interesting alternative for visitors is to be taken directly by horse-drawn coach to the two power stations.

Good morning/afternoon/night to all and sundry,
First of all, I'd like to reiterate that this is a moderator request for a different forum to this one, so I humbly ask for the patience and understanding of the FSM Forum moderators.
The Forum in Question
I am a regular on the http://www.thenarrowroad.com forum, a Christian-based support forum for teenagers and young adults looking for help with issues relating to drugs, sex, running away, suicide and the like.
There are 6 registered moderators, 4 of whom lost all interest in their duties to the forum long ago and have not been seen since approx. 2004. Other than those 4, there is the forum founder (named The Narrow Road), who very rarely makes his/her presence known on the forum, and Lyn, who has recently given up attending altogether for reasons I'll come to later (or at least, she's given up posting; the forum is a basic one and doesn't log lurkers).
Although the moderators have little, if any, interest in the forum, it still receives a fair bit of through-traffic and we get several new queries per week from people seeking help.
The Situation
As I previously said, the forum is a Christian one. I, however, am an atheist, and therefore my own beliefs (and the answers I therefore give to queries) are sometimes at odds with the beliefs held by the visitors to the forum.
We do occasionally get an atheist or agnostic visitor and I believe passionately that those people should be helped just as much as the Christian visitors; when I first arrived on the forum two years ago, pretty much every answer to every question was, 'pray and read the Bible and God/Jesus will make it better'. This comforted some, but left a lot to be desired for others, as you can imagine.
Occasionally somebody would post a passage about how only God/Jesus can possibly understand your pain and only belief can make any difference to your suffering. This I have always challenged on the forum as I believe that such a doctrine may be dangerous if left unchallenged, especially considering that there have been several visitors who have complained of being abused by their pastors/parents.
At first, Lyn would respond to my challenges by calling them 'typical responses by a non-believer', with the tone of me obviously being wrong and there being no further need for discussion.
But I continued, one day she decided that enough was enough and accused me of flaming, which I always make very sure that I do not do. TNR's visitors are very often emotionally charged enough without needing over-emotional angry assaults about cosmic matters, and it has always made sense to me that, if you're going to prove that it's possible to be separate from religous beliefs and happy, flaming Christians is not the best way to go about it.
Therefore I was able to defend myself calmly, and was even supported in my stance by several Christian forum members. Lyn disappeared at this point and has not made a single post since perhaps 3 months ago.
Which Brings Us To The Present Day
We now have no moderator and have since had a trio of people visiting the site who have treated it like a chat room and have occasionally been mildly abusive to regular forumites. We have also had posts made out of place and requests from regulars for a new part of the forum to be put in place, none of which can be responded to properly without a moderator.
A while ago I put together a petition for members to say 'yay' or 'nay' as to whether they want a new moderator or two, and there has been a resounding 'yes'.
More specifically, there has been a request for me to be a moderator, and, for balance's sake, a religious one too. I concur with this. A Catholic, in particular, has been requested.
Now, we don't have any Catholics on the TNR forum who I would consider particularly promising moderators, as many are still very young or very much in the thick of working through their own issues. But I am on the lookout for a Catholic who would be keen on being a moderator on this forum.
The Specifics
The individual I am looking for needs to be:
- flexible enough in their religious beliefs to tolerate the conflicting beliefs of a staunch and verbally active atheist (ie., me. And I answer almost everything).
- able to frequent the forum at least three times a week.
- to have been through the mill somewhat and be willing to bring their life experience to the forum.
I have already sent an email to the founder requesting two new moderators, but I am not convinced I will receive a reply as I have previously sent a request for the new forum section as mentioned above (Sex and Relationships, for the record) and received no reply. So it's possible all this will come to nought. But I will try my best, and I wonder if the right applicant might prove a comfort to the founder, who, if the content of TNR is anything to go by, has some very strong religious beliefs.
Where to Start
If you are interested in this position, probably the best place to start would be to join the forum and start posting. As I say, I can't promise that a moderator position will result out of this, but I think it's the best place to start. And I for one would be glad to see the forum finally resided over by somebody with some administrative clout.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing you on the boards,
All the best,
Miss. Bolognese aka "Satine" on TNR.

Submission New Humble Bundle is Windows only, DRM games->

Re: Anyone have questions about Alabama's AOCS?
I hope to be attending AOCS in Alabama next winter. I here a lot of different stories about how it was horrible for some people and not bad for others. Of course my recruiter told me there is about a 50% fail rate...? Is that about right? Also, how is it compared to BCT physically? I know it is 8 weeks long straight through and i worry about getting worn out over that time. Any suggestions on what to prepare for most?
Re: Anyone have questions about Alabama's AOCS?
Physically I honestly thought BCT was worse, at least in terms of PT. I had a particularly hard company for PT in BCT and I can remember many nights going out an hour early to final formation in order to get smoked. In OCS the worst part is the first two weeks, but I can remember two major smoking sessions - one after night land nav and the other somewhere midway through phase 1. If you want a number, shoot for 250 on the PT test at least before you arrive, but if you can pass your PT test you'll probably be able to pass OCS. Just remember as they say, it's not a course where you should shoot for minimum requirements.
You'll get dropped a lot in the bays and between classes, but midway through OCS it starts getting easier PT wise, especially after the final record APFT. The hardest physical part was this little hill you have to run up between classes while wearing LBV/E with full canteens, kevlar and mapcase. It's not that bad once or twice, but in Phase II with all the classes you go through it starts wearing you out more. For us, those classrooms were shut down after a week and I felt it was almost too easy as we just had to run across the quad. PT is not scheduled every morning and when it is, a good chunk of the PT session is usually taken up by the student 1SG trying to march the whole company down onto the parade field and remember the commands.
Physically, get running down and be comfortable with rucking/road marching. Some people dropped after the 5 mile road march because they didn't have tough feet and they got all blistered up and had to go home... that'd was midway in Phase 1 meaning they'd have to start from day 1 again if they returned. Many people kept getting blisters/leg injuries further down the course too.. personally I hiked most of the summer and fall to prepare, up to a 22-23 miler one day, but that's also a hobby of mine. Make sure you have a good pair of boots for those marches too. The other physical thing you'll just have to get used to is 4 - 5 hours of sleep per night and 0 - 2 on nights you're in leadership, but that's not something you can practice on. You pretty much just eat it up. Another thing is learn to do some pullups, you will be doing up to 8 before each meal. They'll likely start you low, but even at the end there were people who still couldn't do many and they were sent to the pit for it.. if you can do 5 consecutive before showing up you're probably fine.
Other preperations you should do (hopefully in a phase 0) is reviewing mapreading, land navigation, call for fire, the 8 troop leading procedures and the 5 paragraph oporder. Land nav is one of the big tests that drop people and it's at the end of Phase 1. The more land nav you can do, the better. Call for fire is a test in Phase 2 that a lot of people have trouble with as there's a bit of math involved. I went through the course twice during drills/phase 0s before going to OCS and while I was iffy on it the first two times when I hit that test in OCS I only missed one question.
The five para oporder and the TLPs are your bread and butter all through Phase 3 and you're expected to know their major parts in order when you show up. Be able to rattle them off and you'll get less trouble from the TACs. Also, grab a copy of the OC guide off the Alabama website and study the required knowledge section. Finally, get some DNC down re: marching people around - file from the right/left/in sequence, countercolumn, mark time, all the basic commands.
Knowing the place of leadership in a company formation is useful and you need to be comfortable in front of a formation. If you have someone from your state who can teach you the basics of the pre-meal procedures and classroom procedures, learn from them. Otherwise when you get down there, be quietly mouthing the procedures and rehearsing them in your mind so you'll know what to do if they pick you for CO, XO or 1SG.
For the dropout rate.. the number I heard tossed around was 30%. A good number of those people went traditional after Phase 1 or were talked into going it during Phase 2 as they weren't adapting. It seems about right to me but I couldn't provide you with a hard number on my class. If I can find one I'll write it down here.
Winter is the best time to go, fyi, everyone agreed on that. In summer the land nav course would be fully overgrown and the heat would be intolerable.
Hopefully that helps, might seem like a lot but it is really managable, especially with a good RTI. If you want more clarification on any of that, ask away.Last edited by SFC_Wilson; April 8th, 2011, 12:32 AM.
Re: Anyone have questions about Alabama's AOCS?
Originally posted by forcex View PostAs far as pre-phase drills go, do you have to have all of the equipment on the packing list?
As far as OCS itself, yes you are supposed to have all the equipment on the packing list. Several people showed up without two wool blankets, compasses, map cases and a few other sundries. You can draw some of this from supply there (or have TACs collect money for the PX sometimes) and in the few days we had of in-processing many lists of people missing equipment were made and submitted up the chain.
Get your equipment and six part folders squared away as soon as you can.
Re: Anyone have questions about Alabama's AOCS?
I've been busy with MP BOLC, so hopefully this message catches you in time.
As far as Phase 0, that depends highly upon your state. You might just be prepared for things to **** in general and for you to get yelled at and smoked. Other than that it's hard to say, it depends what your state's RTI puts on the curriculum. Basic things like D&C are useful, you should try to never freeze up in front of a formation. Other than that, the stuff I suggested earlier is good. Know the Troop Leading Procedures and 5 Paragraph OpOrd. Good luck doing the June OCS, I hope you're used to heat. If possible I'd definitely try to acclimatize some to that.
As far as what I think about being an officer so far - it's really a learning experience as a 2LT (especially in BOLC). I've come pretty far myself and grown a lot. I'll be glad to get back to my platoon now that I actually understand MP functions. A lot of being a PL is not only understanding your mission, but understanding your soldiers and giving them all you can. Of course, you also need to push on them to make them get better. It's a tough job and requires a lot of research and work, but it's definitely one where you develop. It's really not about the salutes or sirs but about what you can do to make the platoon better.

Video: Outspoken lawmaker busted with pot
ALBANY,NY - Assemblyman Steve Katz, R-Yorktown, Westchester County, was ticketed Thursday morning on the state Thruway for alleged marijuana possession and speeding, State Police said Friday.
Katz, 59, who was first elected to the state Assembly in 2010, was pulled over for allegedly driving 80 mph in a 65 mph zone at about 10 a.m. Thursday, State Police told Gannett's Albany Bureau. He was stopped headed northbound on the Thruway in Coeymans, just south of Albany. The Legislature was in session on Thursday.
Earlier this week, the Westchester-area lawmaker questioned whether the state's spending of $60 million towards the new lease agreement for the Buffalo Bills was prudent.
When an officer approached the vehicle, the state trooper smelled marijuana, police said. Katz turned over a small bag of what appeared to be marijuana, said State Police spokeswoman Darcy Wells. "He was alone and cooperative," Wells said. Katz was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and speeding, police said. He was issued an appearance ticket for Town of Coeymans Court on March 28 at 9 a.m., police said.
He attended the Putnam county state of the county address on Thursday night at 7 p.m., arriving a bit late, waving to the audience and taking his seat in the front row.
The lawmaker released the following statement Friday afternoon:
"In light of the unfortunate incident that occurred, I am compelled to address it briefly.
First, I will not let this incident impede my public service and my calls for real mandate relief, a better economic climate and better services for those in need in New York.
This should not overshadow the work I have done over the years for the public and my constituency.
I am confident that once the facts are presented that this will quickly be put to rest."
Katz, a veterinarian, has been an outspoken lawmaker since taking office. He was re-elected last November. He voted against the legalization of medical marijuana last year.
In October, Katz compared Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to Joe Paterno's cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's child abuse after Silver quietly reached a settlement with two female aides that accused a fellow lawmaker of sexual harassment.
Earlier this week, Katz drew criticism from Buffalo officials after he spoke on the Assembly floor and criticized $60 million in aid for the Buffalo Bill stadium, saying that only a "handful of people" go to the games. Last year, Katz admitted to a pair of past arrests related to his veterinary business decades ago.
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb said he was not informed by Assemblyman Steve Katz that Katz had been ticketed for marijuana possession and speeding Thursday morning presumably on his way to the Capitol.
"It was brand new news to me to read about it," Kolb, R-Canandaigua, said. "So it's the first I've heard of it, and I still don't know what the details are because Mr. Katz has not called me and I have not spoken with him."
Kolb heads the 43-member GOP conference, and typically he would be the first to know if one of his members was in any hot water. But Katz apparently came to work Thursday and didn't tell the leader of his conference.
"You would think that that would be at least one of those calls you'd make to just let me know that it's occurred," Kolb said. "I have no idea why he didn't call me. I would like any of our members to keep me informed if they run into some difficulty, just so we are aware of it."
But Kolb said he wouldn't offer an opinion on Katz's situation or indicate whether any action would be taken against him, saying "I just have to wait for the legal process to take its course."
His challenger in the Republican primary last year, Dario Gristina, called on Katz to resign.
"He should just step down," Gristina told The Journal News. "This is not the behavior you would expect from an elected official, especially from a conservative county like ours."
Katz's Democratic opponent, Andrew Falk, said voters expect more from their elected officials, but he didn't call on Katz to resign.
"It's shocking behavior and inappropriate behavior, and as an attorney, I see the devastating effects of people who drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol," Falk said. "I think no matter what your feelings are about what people do in the privacy of their own homes, this is just unacceptable conduct."
