The South Dakota State women's tennis team is in the process of competition at the Air Force Invitational in Colorado…
Due to poor weather conditions, the majority of the invitational moved inside, causing large time delays in play.
Doubles competition opened on Friday in three flights: Alpha, Bravo and Charlie.
Ffion Davies and Tacy Haws-Lay posted the best finish of any SDSU doubles team. Competing in the "Charlie" bracket, Davies and Haws-Lay defeated Buxton and Pick of Colorado State 8-3 in the first round. The duo dropped its second-round match 8-6 to Tran and Meyers of host-school Air Force and finished in seventh place.
Singles play competed minimally on Friday with, at best, first-round matches being played.
Jenny Blackburne won her first match in the "Charlie" bracket. Blackburne dropped the first set 6-0 to Molina of Air Force, but stormed back to take the second set 6-0 and the third-set super tiebreaker 14-12. Blackburne lost in the quarterfinals to Jamieson of Illinois.
In the "Golf" bracket, Tiffany Filipovich made a run. Filipovich defeated Wegleitner of Colorado 6-7, 6-3, 10-6, and Henning of Northern Colorado 6-1, 6-2. She dropped her semifinal match to Hueffner of Air Force and finished in fourth place.
"We were able to get exactly what we wanted out of the weekend," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "The level of competition was definitely a step up and where we want to be as a program. Every girl was able to gain experience that is going to help us in the spring. Most importantly, we proved to ourselves that we belong among the top teams. If we are able to learn from this weekend and continue to work hard, we are going to be a dangerous team in the spring."
Complete results are available at the beginning of this article.
The Jacks return to action Oct. 18 at the ITA Regionals Qualifying. Competition is scheduled all day in Tulsa, Okla.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see whether people who take vitamins along with the standard medicine for tuberculosis (TB) recover better and quicker than people who take only the standard medicine for TB. This study will enroll 600 men and women, who are age 18-65 years, have TB, and intend to stay in Dar-es-Salaam for at least 2 years from the start of TB therapy. Half the participants will have active TB and also HIV infection, and the other half will have TB alone. Half the volunteers will be given vitamins, and the other half will be given placebo (sugar pill with no vitamins) from the start of their TB therapy, through the 8 months of anti-TB therapy, and up to 48 months. Participation in the study involves visits to the clinic, physical exams, home visits, and answering questions about personal health, foods eaten, household, occupation, and education. Volunteers will also provide blood, sputum, and urine samples.

Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Nutrition, Immunology, and Epidemiology of Tuberculosis
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2000
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|October 2005
This double blinded, randomized, placebo controlled trial will enroll 600 men and women, who are age 18 to 65 years inclusive, have at least two positive sputum smears for tuberculosis (TB), intend to stay in Dar-es-Salaam (DSM) for at least 2 years from the start of TB therapy, and have given informed consent to participate in the study. Half of the enrollees will have active TB and co-infection with HIV, and the other half will have TB alone. The effect of micronutrient status will be examined in the context of a randomized trial conducted in Tanzania. Subjects will be randomized to receive either multi-micronutrients or placebo from the start of their TB therapy, through the 8 months of anti-TB therapy, and until the last recruited patient reaches 24 months of follow up. Thus, the first subject is likely to be followed for 48 months, assuming the duration of recruitment is 24 months. The endpoints of interest include bacteriologic cure, immune response parameters, and clinical outcomes. The researchers will also examine the utility of these immune response parameters as surrogate markers for treatment efficacy in TB, irrespective of nutritional and other risk factors. The study will be carried out as a collaborative effort between Harvard School of Public Health; Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Tufts University, Boston; and the Channing Laboratory, Boston. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive a daily oral dose of one of two treatments: (a) micronutrients: 5000 IU of retinol, 20 mg of B1, 20 mg of B2, 25 mg of B6, 100 mg of niacin, 50 mcg of B12, 500 of C, 200 mg of E, 0.8 mg of folic acid, and 100 mcg of selenium; or (b) placebo. The primary objectives are to: (1) determine the efficacy of micronutrient supplements on sputum and culture negativity at one month and two months; (2) determine the efficacy of micronutrient supplements on survival between two arms at 8 and 24 months; and (3) determine the efficacy of micronutrient supplements on TB relapse and reinfection. Secondary study objectives are to: (1) compare the treatment arms with respect to rate of change of HIV viral load in HIV positive subjects measured at 0, 2, 8, and 20 months; (2) compare the treatment arms with respect to absolute change in CD4 counts from 0 to 2, 8, 20 months; (3) compare the treatment arms with respect to weight change from baseline and 2 months, 8 months, and 20 months; (4) compare the treatment arms with respect to immunological parameters, namely ex vivo lymphocyte proliferation; and cytokine production, namely IL-2, INF-g, IL-12, and TNF-a, at 2, 8, 20 months; and (5) correlate the above mentioned immunological markers with smear conversion rates at 1 month, 2 months, cure, relapse, and death.

This application was designed to enable direct printing of 16-bit RGB images directly from Adobe Photoshop 6, 7, CS and CS2. This plug-in is a true export module that bypasses the print driver on Windows® and Macintosh® computers. The module was designed to be an integral part of a photographer's 16-bit workflow without compromising image quality. The plug-in facilitates the printing of 16-bit images by processing the data outside the conventional driver and sending the data directly from Photoshop to the printer, dramatically increasing gradations and as a result, overall image quality. The print history function enables the user to apply past color, profile and print settings to future jobs. The module allows for improved efficiency in color adjustment tasks and high-definition prints for Photoshop users.

It's highly possible that this idea has already been presented, but I could not find it in the posts, so here goes.
We want a pirate ship to spread the word. And not some dinghy. We want a real galleon. So we need loot - hordes of it. So, another item we could make and sell to help fund his Holy Noodle's Pirate Ship is...pasta. That is FSM pasta. We could have several versions:
1) Little FSMs like this: and the letters F, S, and M
2) Noodles and eyeballs
3) Pirate fish and pirate hats
Lord Cheeses would be prominently displayed on the packaging and we would let people know that 100% of the profits will be going to fund the pirate ship. It could be sold online but also at FSM events and groups trying to spread the gospel. Imagine the Campus Crusade for Pastafarianism selling not only FSM car decals at their student fair booth, but FSM pasta. College students live off pasta and grog, so it would be a huge hit. Then there's the FSM pasta to be given out as gifts at birthdays and holidays. What better way to start a conversation about Noodles (an affectionate term I use for him. He likes to hear it, especially when you tickle his meatballs) than over a bowl of Pastafarian pasta!
This would have to be 100% non-profit. We must avoid all accusations of profiting from the Santa Tagliatelle. We're not capitalists after all, we're pirates. We must keep our pasta clean if we are too succeed in converting the masses. If we pull this off and make the pirate ship, the Church of FSM could easily win a Nobel Peace Prize. Half the world would convert at that moment.
peace through pasta,
Zeno Telos

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Could Tim Tebow be signed by the Washington Redskins to be Robert Griffin III's backup?
The idea might sound ridiculous, but it's something that NFL AM analyst Eric Davis thinks could work.
"I honestly think the Redskins would be a good fit for him...If there is a spot Tebow to do what he does, be that Wildcat-type quarterback, the Redskins are a place where you have a coach in Mike Shanahan who's in charge, that can say, 'This is what's going on,' where he's not really worried about what is happening," Davis said on NFL AM.
You can watch the full video on NFL.com.
Tebow to the Redskins? Let the debate begin.

This study supports the use of weekly injected darbopoetin alpha as a safe and effective alternative to more frequent dosing of rHuEPO. SC injection of darbopoetin alpha acts as a depot injection, providing consistent serum levels of the drug without accumulating to supra-therapeutic levels. Better patient compliance and simplification of chemotherapy treatment regimens will hopefully result from the use of this drug.

Burundi's journalist union takes repressive press law to court
If the state decides that a journalist's article in Burundi jeopardizes someone's "moral integrity" under the country's Media Law it can demand that the journalist reveals sources, and it can suspend the publication. "It's a backwards, freedom-killing law," said Alexandre Niyungeko, the founder and head of the 300-member Burundi Union of Journalists. Despite the press fraternity's best efforts, including an appeal replete with 15,000 signatures from organizations, including the Committee to Protect Journalists, urging the president to desist from signing it, President Pierre Nkurunziza passed the bill into law on June 4, 2013.

I do believe the Rangers may have the option of tendering him a contract and then Koji could file for the Arbitration process or accept the tendered contract. I do not think he had a written agreement that would allow him to bypass the Arbitration Process. I could be wrong but he has only four years of MLB roster status and would not become a free agent until 2015 with his service time.
