Increased life expectancy has attracted research attention, interested in provide a quality and healthy aging. According to the latest census conducted in 2010 by IBGE, Brazilian population consists of 97,342,162 women, whom estimates 30 million are between 40 and 65 years old, a period that includes the climacteric. Therefore, clinical conditions such as osteoporosis becomes significant, either from public health policy standpoint or in relation to the social aspect, by compromising life quality. Women also suffer more from temporomandibular disorders (TMD) than men, and the beginning of this situation occurs after puberty, with peaks during the reproductive and remission periods after menopause. Female sex hormones involvement in osteoporosis is well established, but their participation in the TMD is still controversial. Thus, this study aims to investigate the role of systemic bone mass in menopausal women as a risk factor for articular TMD, as well as the TMD pain behavior during menopause transition periods (48 to 55 years), postmenopausal (56-65 years) and senescence (65-70 years). Therefore, 100 women attended by the HC - FMUSP Gynecology Division, Climacteric Sector, were clinically evaluated by the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), used to obtain diagnoses and their associations, as well as to quantify the TMD pain sensitivity degree through the Craniomandibular Index (CMI), both applied by a single examiner. The bone densitometry provided bone mass data of femoral neck and lumbar spine (L1-L4). The RDC/TMD performance as a diagnostic test also was subjected to analysis, considering the 3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging as reference standard, undergoing 30 women, of 100 assessed, in this imaging exam. After analyzing the results, it was shown that the risk posed by osteopenia was 1.33 (IC95% 1.20 - 1.46), with a risk increase of 0.33, while the risk of osteoporosis showed 1.39 (IC95% 1,20 - 1.23 to 1.55), increased by 0.39. Joint diagnoses predominated (68.0%), while 18.0% muscular diagnoses and 14.0% corresponds to the absence of clinically diagnosable conditions, according to the RDC/TMD. The performance of the RDC/TMD to diagnose articular DTM revealed accuracy of 68.0%, sensitivity of 83.0%, specificity 53.0%, pre-test probability of 52.0%, positive predictive value of 60.0 % and negative 74.0%, positive likelihood ratio of 1.77 and negative 0.32. As for the soreness sensibility in TMD, it was found that aging shows a clear tendency towards its reduction (A =- 4.5, p = 0.0324). Then, the study concluded that the decrease in female sex hormones, peculiar to aging, increases the risk of articular TMD, although this pain disfunction decreases with age. The RDC/TMD can be used for large populations screening, but its indication in clinical practice should be done with caution.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretations of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."

When a blood clot forms in a blood vessel somewhere in the body, part of it can break off and travel to the lungs causing a pulmonary embolism (PE). This can cut off the flow of blood. PE is a medical emergency and may cause death.
Often, the blood clot is 1 that formed in a deep vein of the leg. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Health care providers use the term venous thromboembolism (VTE) to describe both PE and DVT. They use the term VTE because the 2 conditions are very closely related. And, because their prevention and treatment is are also closely related.
The most common cause of a pulmonary embolism is a blood clot (thrombus) in a large leg vein of the leg that breaks off and travels to the lungs (embolus).
An embolus may be from clots in other parts of the body. Or they may be made up of other solids, liquids, or gases that travel to the lungs. For example, 1 may be made up of fat or air bubbles.
The following may increase your chance of pulmonary embolism:
Blood clotting disorder
Not moving for long periods of time, like being hospitalized, flying or riding long distances, or paralysis
Previous blood clots
Age over 60 years
Cancer and cancer therapy
Certain medical conditions, like heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), high blood pressure, and inflammatory bowel disease, like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease
Certain medicines, like birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy (estrogen)
Other vein conditions
Cigarette smoking
The following are the most common symptoms of a blood clot in the lungs:
Trouble breathing
Chest pain
Fast heartbeat (palpitations)
Coughing (may cough up blood)
If you have the symptoms that may mean a blood clot in your lungs, call 911 or get emergency help.
Symptoms of a blood clot include pain, redness, or swelling in the leg, arm, or other area. If you have these symptoms, call your health care provider.
The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism may look like other medical conditions. Always see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
A blood clot in the lungs is often difficult to diagnose. It may look like other conditions and diseases. Your health care provider will do a complete medical history and physical exam. Other tests may include:
Chest X-ray. Images are taken to check the lungs, as well as the heart.
Ventilation-perfusion scan (V/Q scan). A tiny amount of radioactive material is used to check the lungs. The test checks the movement of air and the blood flow in the lungs.
Pulmonary angiogram. Dye (contrast) is injected to make highlight the blood vessels in the lungs.
Computed tomography (also called CT or CAT scan). X-rays and computer technology are used to produce detailed images of the lungs. CT with contrast may also be done.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Large magnets, radiofrequencies, and computer-produced, detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Duplex ultrasound (US). A type of ultrasound procedure done to check the blood flow in blood vessels.
tests. To check the blood's clotting status. This may include a test called D-dimer level. Other blood tests may include checking for inherited (genetic) disorders that affect blood clotting. Arterial blood gases to check the amount of oxygen in the blood may also be done.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). A simple procedure used to evaluate the heart. Abnormalities can be seen with acute pulmonary embolism.
Specific treatment will be determined by your health care provider based on:
How old you are
Your overall health and medical history
How sick you are
How well you can handle specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
Treatment for a blood clot in the lungs includes:
Blood thinners (anticoagulants). These medicines decrease the ability of the blood to clot. Examples include warfarin and heparin. Other anticoagulants may also be used, including rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran and enoxaparin.
Clot busters
(thrombolytic therapy). These medicines can be delivered through a catheter, or given intravenously (IV) to break up the clot.
Percutaneous thrombectomy. In this procedure, a catheter is inserted to remove the clot
Inferior vena cava filter. In this procedure, a small filter is placed in the vena cava. This is the large blood vessel that returns blood from the body to the heart. The filter helps to prevent clots from traveling to the heart and lungs. These filters may be used if you can't take anticoagulants or if you develop more clots even with treatment.
embolectomy. This is surgery to remove a blood clot in the lungs. This procedure is not often done.
An effective way to prevent a blood clot in the lungs is to prevent blood clots from forming in other parts of the body. This is especially important during hospitalization. Methods include:
Medicine. Anticoagulants and/or aspirin are often given to prevent blood clots.
Compression stockings. Elastic stockings that help keep blood flowing.
Sequential compression device (SCD) or intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC). Sleeves are placed around the legs. They are attached to a devise that also helps keep blood flowing with gentle pressure. Remove the sleeves so that you do not trip or fall when you are walking, like when you use the bathroom or shower. If you need help removing the sleeves, ask the nurse or aid.
Walking. Getting up and moving as soon as possible after surgery or illness.
Avoid sitting, standing, or lying down for long periods without moving your legs and feet:
When traveling by car, make frequent stops to get out and move around.
On long airplane, train, or bus rides, get up and move around when possible.
If you can't get up, wiggle your toes and tighten your calves to keep your blood moving.
Take good care of your heart and blood vessels:
If you smoke, you should stop. Talk with your health care provider about ways to quit.
Be active. Try to get 30 minutes of exercise on most days. If you are not exercising, talk with your health care provider about getting started.
Keep a healthy weight. If you are overweight, talk with your health care provider about improving your diet, increasing your activity level, and other ways to lose weight.
Treatment and prevention of DVT will probably continue after you leave the hospital. It is important to follow all instructions from your health care providers during and after your time in the hospital.
If you have symptoms that may mean a blood clot in your leg, arm, or another area, call your health care provider. And, call your health care provider if you have signs or symptoms of bleeding. For example, you may have blood in your urine, bleeding with bowel movements, nose bleeds, bleeding gums, a cut that will not stop bleeding, or bleeding from your vagina.
If you have symptoms that may mean a blood clot in your lungs, call 911. Also, call 911 if you have heavy or uncontrolled bleeding. There is an increased risk of bleeding while taking blood thinners.

Home > News, Media and Events > NCUA Settles Claims Against HSBC
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (March 12, 2012) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and HSBC reached a settlement regarding potential claims relating to the sale of residential mortgage-backed securities to five failed wholesale credit unions.
HSBC has agreed to pay NCUA $5.25 million to reduce the losses associated with the five failures. The settlement with HSBC does not admit fault on their part.
NCUA will use the net proceeds from this settlement to further reduce assessments being charged to credit unions to pay for the losses.
"This is NCUA's third favorable settlement of actionable claims. We appreciate HSBC's efforts to resolve potential claims so that we can avoid the expense and delay of litigation," said NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz. "NCUA to date has received a total of $170.75 million in settlement proceeds. This settlement furthers our goal to minimize losses and thereby reduce the assessments that all credit unions will have to pay. NCUA will continue to fulfill our statutory responsibility to secure maximum recoveries for credit unions and ensure that consumers remain protected."
Losses from wholesale credit union failures are paid from the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund. Expenditures from this fund must be repaid through assessments against all federally insured credit unions. Thus, recoveries such as this settlement reduce the amount of future assessments on credit unions.
Since 2009, NCUA has assessed credit unions $3.3 billion to pay for losses associated with the five corporate credit union failures. Given the current settlement proceeds, projections for remaining assessments range between $1.8 billion and $6.1 billion that must be paid by 2021.
Corporate credit unions are wholesale credit unions that provide services to retail credit unions, which in turn serve consumers. Consumer credit unions rely on corporate credit unions for services such as check clearing, electronic payments and investments.
In addition to this settlement, NCUA has taken many decisive actions to mitigate losses to credit unions from the five corporate failures. Among the actions taken:
NCUA is the independent federal agency created by
the U.S. Congress to regulate, charter and supervise
federal credit unions. With the backing of the full
faith and credit of the United States, NCUA operates
and manages the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund, insuring the deposits of more than 101
million account holders in all federal credit
unions and the overwhelming majority of
state-chartered credit unions. At
MyCreditUnion.gov and
Pocket Cents, NCUA also educates the public on consumer protection and financial literacy issues.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER)- Maine's Department of Human Services will try to use millions in federal taxpayer dollars to find ways to save hundreds of millions more in health care costs.
The initiative is being called the Maine Innovation Model. The feds will give Maine 33-million dollars over the next three years to study all aspects of the system... And it's hoped that, when ideas are put in place, it could result in more than a billion dollars in health care savings over the same length of time... three years.
DHHS commssioner Mary Mahew says the 33 million dollar grant will help transform the way patients get health care in Maine. Mayhew says right now about 20 percent of Maine Care patients account for nearly 90 percent of program's costs.
'We have individuals who are using the emergency department as their oint of entry to the health care systems and there are some that are there, ten, 20, 30 times a month, said Mayhew.
Many of these patients have serious mental, substance abuse and chronic health programs which are driving up expenses. Part of the grant money will help develop a network for each individual patient.
'When someone is referred to a specialist, when someone has been admitted to the hospital, that their care is being coordinated out of that practice -- it's a combination of the physician, it's other providers, nurse care managers who are monitoring that individual and making sure the right care is being provided,' said Mayhew.
It should be noted that the 33-million dollars in grant money awarded to the state was made available through the Affordable Heath Care Act, which the Governor has spoken out against in the past. Commissioner Mayhew wouldn't comment on that directly, but she says the money is giving states the flexibility to manage their health care programs without federal oversight.

Representatives from Senator Bob Bennett's office will be visiting locations in Nephi, Castle Dale, Green River and Price Nov. 5 ro Nov. 7 to help individuals with federal agency questions and issues, according to a Nov. 2 press release.
Bennett staff members have conducted remote office hours throughout central and southeastern Utah over the past two years meeting one on one with Utahns who have questions pertaining to a federal agency.
Caseworkers are available concerning issues any federal issue with any federal agency including the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
A Castle Valley woman was given the honor of Extraordinary Exemplary Employer of the year. Janice Mounteer, owner of the Star Theater and Fun Center Grill in Huntington was presented with the award by the state of Utah at a ceremony conducted in Provo.
Over the past two years Mounteer has created 10 jobs for individuals in Carbon and Emery counties with a disability. According to job placement specialist Dorothy Carter, Mounteer has given 10 individuals a chance to work and progress in a competitive employment environment just as if their disability was not there at all.
Utah's number of non-farm wage and salaried jobs for September continued to drop just a bit, moving down to 4.4 percent growth over the last year, according to information from the Department of Workforce Services.
Even with this slight move downward, Utah remains far and away the best performing state in the nation. Growth remains well above the state's long-term average of 3.3 percent per year.
Approximately 53,500 new jobs have been created in the Utah economy over the past year, raising the total wage and salary employment in Utah to 1,276,200.

HAMMOND Its back to the drawing board for the Hammond and Morristown school boards, which will discuss their futures at a work session next week.
At the joint session, board members will discuss several possible cost-saving measures: a full merger that would see the two districts becoming one larger district, increasing the number of shared services they offer and having one superintendents office for both districts.
The schools considered merging in the past, but the idea was met with little support on both sides.
The boards will use discussion topics drafted by the state School Boards Association as a guide during merger discussions. Topics for both schools include: gap elimination adjustments, unpredictable and inequitable foundation aid allocations, tax levy caps, lack of mandate relief, increasing health care costs and unsustainable employee contracts.
If the school boards decide to move forward with a merger, two public votes are required: an advisory referendum and a final vote.
But passing the merger is just the first step, according to the presentation from the state association.
The actual merger would require school board elections, hiring an attorney and superintendent, drafting policies, developing programs and curriculum, business functions, staff assignments, contracts, building use policies, a name, mascot, school colors and ironing out transportation.
Hammond Interim Superintendent Randy C. Richards has said that if the boards consider a merger there will be costs, including hiring consultants to streamline the process.
This demands a lot of serious thought, he said at Hammonds October meeting.
The school boards will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 19 at Hammond Central School.
Superintendents of Morristown and Hammond central schools could not be reached for comment Monday.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (83 votes).
In short: a very nice race good route see you next yearDate of review: October 8, 2009
In short: Reasonably flat course gave me my new pbDate of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Improves every yearIn full: I'm biased because I am local, but this race seems to get a bit better each year. It is fairly inexpensive and this year had electronic timing. The organisation seemed smooth and professional, although the atmosphere only existed at the beginning and end of the race.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Good course and well organised.In full: All very good indeed. Marshalling very good, although I was worried in the last mile that I was going wrong (partly due to gibbering exhaustion but also not many marhsals/signs). Nice finish area, good to have the hall and well-organised tables at the start. Some fast 10K runners seemed annoyed at half-marathon runners getting in the way after the start but I gather it was the other way round last year. Difficult to get this right unless there's more of a stagger at the start. A good day all round.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Quick course, nice route.In full: Quick course with some inclines but nothing of serious note. Well marshalled apart from the last mile when it could of been a bit better, plenty of water stations.Much better than the Swindon half which i have run twice, will be back next year.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: A good, well organised & flat half.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Very well marshelled and mildly undulating course. Great fun.Date of review: October 5, 2009

A federal judge has allowed a dog trainers lawsuit against the state attorney general to proceed in regard to the question of whether the trainer, Jon C. Sabin, is entitled to injunctive relief.
Mr. Sabin, Colton, operator of Seizure Alert Dogs for Life Inc., filed suit in September 2012 in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Assistant Attorney General Deanna R. Nelson, claiming his civil rights were violated under the Americans with Disabilities Act when the attorney general obtained an order barring him from running his business.
The attorney general had argued, among other things, that Mr. Sabin was falsely advertising that his dogs were trained to alert people about oncoming seizures. Mr. Sabin filed federal action, contending that federal disability laws supersede state laws governing service-animal training.
In April, Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles recommended to Judge Gary L. Sharpe, who is presiding over Mr. Sabins federal case, that significant portions of the action be dismissed, including Mr. Sabins claims for $75 million in damages from the state officials. Judge Peebles wrote in his recommendation that federal law, under the 11th Amendment, prohibits suits in federal court brought by parties seeking monetary damages that must be paid through state funds.
Judge Peebles did, however, recommend keeping alive Mr. Sabins request for injunctive relief which, if successful, would prevent the attorney general from enforcing state service animal laws against him and allow him to continue training dogs. The judge also gave Mr. Sabin an opportunity to amend his complaint with Judge Sharpe adopting those recommendations.
Mr. Sabin chose not to file an amended complaint, saying Monday that he was satisfied with the claims made in the original complaint and its request for injunctive relief.
Judge Sharpe ruled last week that the suit will now proceed with the original complaint being the operative pleading. The judge also issued summonses to the defendants, meaning they now will file a formal response to the action. Mr. Sabin has been acting as his own attorney throughout the proceedings, but said he is seeking an attorney to assist him.

British and Irish Lions thrash Australia to seal series win
Australia (10) 16
- Tries: O'Connor
- Conversions: Leali'ifano
- Penalties: Leali'ifano (3)
British and Irish Lions (19) 41
- Tries: Corbisiero, Sexton, North, Roberts
- Conversions: Halfpenny (3)
- Penalties: Halfpenny (5)
The British and Irish Lions ended a 16-year wait for a series win with a stunning second-half demolition of Australia in a pulsating decider in Sydney.
Leading 19-10 at half-time via an early Alex Corbisiero try and four Leigh Halfpenny penalties, the Lions roared to victory with three scores inside 12 minutes.
Jonny Sexton, George North and Jamie Roberts all crossed in a breathless spell to bring up the tourists' record points tally in any Test.
Recent Lions series
- 1997: Lions won 2-1 in South Africa
- 2001: Lions lost 2-1 in Australia
- 2005: Lions lost 3-0 in New Zealand
- 2009: Lions lost 2-1 in South Africa
- 2013: Lions won 2-1 in Australia
Man-of-the-match Halfpenny landed eight from nine kicks to finish with 21 points.
That was a new individual record for a Lion in a Test, overtaking the previous mark of 20 points shared by Jonny Wilkinson (in 2005 against Argentina) and Stephen Jones (in 2009 against South Africa).
It also took Halfpenny past Neil Jenkins's previous series record of 41 points for the Lions, the Welsh full-back finishing with 49.
A James O'Connor try from the last move of the first half had kept the hosts in touch after the Lions had gone 19-3 ahead, and two Christian Leali'ifano penalties cut the gap to three points early in the second half.
But Halfpenny's fifth penalty settled the nerves and the Lions then ran away with it, surpassing their previous highest tally of 31 - in 1966 - against Australia.
Lions coach Warren Gatland had summoned some heavy artillery in making six changes to the side that narrowly failed to clinch the three-Test series in Melbourne, when Australia edged a 16-15 win, and the changes yielded an immediate reward when one of them, Corbisiero, burrowed over with just one minute and 17 seconds on the clock.
Will Genia knocked on Sexton's kick-off to give the tourists a scrum platform that produced the first in a series of free-kicks and penalties.
Mike Phillips took a quick tap, Alun Wyn Jones was held up short, but the England prop - who missed the second Test through injury - forced his way over at the posts, Halfpenny adding the conversion.
The Lions promised an overtly physical approach, and hooker Richard Hibbard was at the heart of it.

Veteran Australia flanker George Smith, recalled for his first Test in four years, was led off gingerly after a sickening clash of heads with the Welshman in the fifth minute.
Remarkably Smith reappeared five minutes later, by which stage a thumping hit from Dan Lydiate on Joe Tomane, with help from Sean O'Brien, had produced a penalty from which Halfpenny made it 10-0.
Leali'ifano got the hosts on the board from the restart after some deliberate obstruction, but when they were penalised for deliberately wheeling the next scrum, Halfpenny restored the Lions' 10-point lead.
The Wallabies were then driven back on their own ball at the next engagement, with the same result: penalty to the Lions; Halfpenny through the sticks.
Ben Alexander was deemed the culprit, and when referee Romain Poite dispatched the Australia prop to the sin-bin for collapsing another scrum, Halfpenny's fourth successful penalty took him past Jenkins's record from 1997 - the last time the Lions won a series.
Australia belatedly built some momentum as half-time approached, Geoff Parling's superb ankle tap on Jesse Mogg, on as a replacement for the stricken Israel Folau, halting a dangerous attack.
Three times in quick succession Australia opted to kick penalties to touch rather than at goal, each time with no reward. But the third brought a scrum five metres out, and O'Connor stepped past Sexton and O'Brien to squeeze over, Leali'ifano's conversion cutting the deficit to nine points.
That was reduced to three within six minutes of the resumption as Leali'ifano landed two penalties.
But after Halfpenny made it 22-16 on 51 minutes, the Lions turned on the style to leave Australia in tatters.
Sexton and Tommy Bowe combined to send Jonathan Davies through a tackle and Halfpenny was on his shoulder, getting his pass away for Sexton to sprint over.
Halfpenny's conversion suddenly gave the scoreline a far more reassuring look from a Lions perspective at 29-16.
It got better and better.
Halfpenny, one of a record-equalling 10 Welshmen in the starting XV, stepped inside Genia and away from Tomane to send North surging to the left corner for a third try.
And the strains of "Bread of Heaven" were still ringing around the ANZ Stadium when Conor Murray's sweet pass put Roberts over for the fourth.
The Lions emptied their bench, including Richie Gray - the only Scot to feature in the series - as their army of travelling support were able to luxuriate in a thumping victory long before the end.

Yea induvidual brilliance v team work. Both great!
I loved seeing the scenes in the coaching box. They all looked so pleased and it really summed up how it was a team effort. Farrells face as Roberts went over was fantastic. Straight off the training ground!
Comment number 2487. Posted by SAon 8 Jul 2013 22:04
@2472 Tommy as a SAfrican I completely disagree with your comments. The Lions have it hard enough as it is. It is all about WINNING rugby. This is not a social gathering at Sunday school or a UN meeting. Get a grip man. The selection for the last test was bang on. 41-16 speaks for itself. Cant remember the last time and international team scored 41 points against OZ in OZ. JH at 8 & no GN? NUTS.

2483 Mr Ichallen
agree about Norths try, breathtaking Individual try, just thought halfpennys was good because of the interplay by roberts and davies in build up. Short sharp and then angle.
Best moment - seeing the coaches congratulating eachother in the box, making sure to include everyone like the analysts e.t.c, team effort not just 23, cant wait for DVD 12 August,
Comment number 2485. Posted by Impartial Observeron 8 Jul 2013 21:46
Tommy, I have to go now.
Good banter. No hard feelings. George North is washed up after you dropped him. Would Glasgow take him on a free ? Not sure what position he played in school !! Take it easy, have a good un and keep comedy alive.
Comment number 2484. Posted by Impartial Observeron 8 Jul 2013 21:36
Tommy Tommy Tommy. How many grand slams ? How many Lions
? The turning point was that 12 mins from Richie Gray. Love the ARPR.who cares who wins the series so long as Glasgow do well in the Rabo, and Hogg passes his exams. Would you accept George North on a free ? I mean he's washed up after you dropped him.
Comment number 2483. Posted by Mr Ichallenon 8 Jul 2013 21:35
@2477: Front Ugly
Agree with your picks there. Although I think I would have Norths try as the best just as I havent jumped out of my seat like that in a while!
Would add - Happiest player in celebrations: Wade. Looked the happiest man on the planet despite only palying one game!
Comment number 2482. Posted by Brownie the hookeron 8 Jul 2013 21:33
Tommy mate its clear you are blinded by the thistles in your specs. I've watched a lot of the players over the last few years. Hogg and Gray are not yet ready. Grant should have started 2nd test but not as good as AC. Scottish rugby has been in the doldrums for a decade if not more. The days of Sole, Jeffrey, Hastings brothers, Calder et al are gone at the moment. I hope they return
Comment number 2481. Posted by tommyon 8 Jul 2013 21:26
2480. Nonsense. Grant, Gray & Hogg all good enough. In your ARPC they would have been asking Hogg about his two glorious tries from deep.
2472. Yes- CM v MP, no contest. In the other changes you are replacing bashers with actual rugby players. Are you honestly telling me the team I propose wouldn't have also pumped this poor, injury ridden Aus side?
2474. Fiji. Samoa. Japan. & now Tonga in Nov??
Comment number 2480. Posted by Brownie the hookeron 8 Jul 2013 21:20
Alternative Reality Press Conference - "Warren why did you drop North for the decider and play Hogg? The lack of power in the back three cost us the game"
"True mate, but at least every country was represented. We'll just have to wait another four years to try and win a series."
Not a single Scot was better than those selected to start in the third test. And I'm half Scottish
Comment number 2479. Posted by Carlosmonzonon 8 Jul 2013 21:17
WG. Thank you,for having the courage of your expert convictions. And not listening to the media.
Comment number 2478. Posted by who_daton 8 Jul 2013 21:10
Thank God Gatland picked the team.
How could you even consider not picking North and shove arguably one of the best full backs in the world on to the wing just to accommodate Hogg.
They're better than those who were picked and actually did the business and won the game?
Dear God, you really are a
You would only complain and the mods would remove it.
Comment number 2477. Posted by Front 3 win uglyon 8 Jul 2013 21:08
For me
Suprise of tour - corbisiero
Dissapointment - cole & phillips, cole always 2nd best but didnt do enough in 1st 2 tests, Murray showed he should have started.
Unsung - Davies
Best try - quite a few to choose from but for me, halpenny support line v Warahtahs.
Sportsman- AW Jones, for just getting on with the job, when many of us would have gone headhunting, nice to see him lift the trophy
Comment number 2476. Posted by tommyon 8 Jul 2013 21:08
Brownie, please see the recent comments of one of the finest Lions to play your position - Keith Wood. Also, if you know your Lions history, until the Woodward debacle, each home union always had a starting player in the Test Series. I don't think it is too much to ask to return to that noble tradition, or to ask the coaches to stop ignoring Scottish players.
2472 - Fiji. Samoa. Japan.
Comment number 2475. Posted by TommyBahamaon 8 Jul 2013 21:01
Wow, some very rude posts on here and many others by some people that have a very negative outlook on life.
Were the Scots unlucky? I'd say some were, absolutely.
Will whinging about it 2 days later change anything? Absolutely not.
Lets enjoy the win. Hard to do if you think your guys were under-represented I know, but come on. The Lions slaughtered a very good team - let us just enjoy that eh?
Comment number 2474. Posted by Impartial Observeron 8 Jul 2013 21:00
2472. tommy. i went to school, but I didn't see Stuart Hogg - he must have been playing out of position ! Indirectly, you have answered the question, so thanks for that. Your credibility, having spent hours being flayed around the ring, now lies motionless in a corner. North is dropped. The good folk of Haveluloto are laughing (3rd biggest town in Tonga) but so is every Lions fan in the world.
Comment number 2473. Posted by Brownie the hookeron 8 Jul 2013 20:56
That is naive beyond the extreme. The concept of the Lions is not to the best players from each nation but to take the best players from within the nations. If that means there are more Welsh than Scots or English than Irish then so be it. In 1997 very few Welsh went but we supported the Lions. NEil Jenkins had to play full back because the best OH was Gregor Townsend but NJ was the best kicker
Comment number 2472. Posted by tommyon 8 Jul 2013 20:52
2470, exactly, which defies the very ethos of the Lions. Take the best of the 4 Home Unions & blend them into a winning team NOT take the players you know can play to your game plan.
Did you go to school, 2471 Welsh Bias Observer? From your understanding of the debate, it wouldn't appear so.
My team for final test would have been: SH, TB, BOD, JR, LH, JS, CM, AC, TY, AJ, AWJ, RG, DL, SOB, JH.
Comment number 2471. Posted by Impartial Observeron 8 Jul 2013 20:46
2469. tommy You dodged the George North question like a Halfpenny sidestep. Come on, answer please. Do you think the former schoolboy Hogg should have played instead of George North ? The whole population of Neiafu awaits your answer ( that's the second largest city in Tonga).
Comment number 2470. Posted by Brownie the hookeron 8 Jul 2013 20:44
He didnt put so much on the 6N decider though did he? He has been working with those players for a while and won two Grand Slams with the majority of them. He knew their strengths and weaknesses and needed people he could trust at the highest level to win playing his style
Comment number 2469. Posted by tommyon 8 Jul 2013 20:38
2468 - why do you keep mentioning this school nonsense?
For the sake of my sanity, school was mentioned because Gatland unfairly played Hogg in a position he hadn't played since school.
Just one example of him shamefully mistreating Scottish players.
Brownie, exactly- 1 game does not a career make, which makes it all the more disappointing that Gats attached so much importance to the 6N decider.

POTSDAM SUNY Potsdam police are seeking public assistance as they investigate a sexual assault that allegedly occurred at a Potsdam fraternity house last weekend.
Dean of Students William G. Morris notified students of the investigation in a campus alert sent by email Tuesday evening.
According to the police report, a female SUNY Potsdam student was invited to an off-campus fraternity house this weekend, where a male is alleged to have forcibly sexually assaulted her, he wrote. At this time, we have very little direct information to include not knowing if this was a recognized or unrecognized organization.
University police declined to share any information about the investigation Wednesday. A Potsdam village police investigator responsible for the case was not available for comment.
In his email, Mr. Morris assured the campus that the school is concerned with the safety of all of its students and employees.
Student safety is SUNY Potsdams number one priority, he wrote. The college believes that an immediate response to a reported incident of sexual misconduct is extremely important.
The allegations occurred after SUNY Potsdam restricted Greek organizations recruitments in response to hazing complaints. The school has convened a task force to examine its relationship with Greek letter organizations
Information about the alleged assault should be reported to Lt. Mark R. Murray of the Potsdam village police, at 265-2121.

POTSDAM - While 108 students graduated from Potsdam Central School on Friday night, one of the speakers, class President Cassondra L. McCormick, took a moment to remember two students who werent in attendance, but undoubtedly were there in spirit.
We have been through tragedy, not just individually, but together. We have lost two people that should be here with us today, Dalton and Christian, Ms. McCormick said referring to classmates Dalton Guyette and Christian House. Im sure you can ask any of my classmates to share a story about Dalton or Christian and they could come up with one, most likely a funny one.
And despite their tragic deaths, Ms. McCormick said both Dalton and Christian are just as much members of the class as anyone else.
Like anyone on this stage, they add to the character of this class as a whole, she said. As members of the Class of 2013, we will always carry their memory in our hearts.
Ms. McCormick also spoke about her classmates that were on stage and noted that the calling card for this years class was its high level of creativity and never-ending energy to challenge authority.
Speaking on the latter, she said, The Class of 2013 managed to circumvent every single policy meant to ensure our health, emotional safety, and general welfare, as well as obstruct all attempts to create a nurturing learning environment.
Giving some examples, she continued, The grinding policy anyone? What about the homework policy, where the immortal phrase, Ill take a 50, came from. Kaylee Peck can personally attest to the strenuous attendance policy. The hat and electronic device policy were also subject to constant debate.
And while Ms. McCormick said she was thankful for the education she received at Potsdam, she noted that its very unlikely anyone will remember everything theyve learned in the schools hallowed halls.
Whats even more valuable than the education we received were the memories we managed to make along the way, she said. The fact of the matter is we will not be able to remember everything, but hopefully we will remember the important stuff. How to be a good friend, how to be self-sufficient and how to help your future children survive high school.
Although many graduation speeches include the speaker talking about how high school was the best time of their life, Ms. McCormick said nothing against Potsdambut she really hopes thats not the case.
I hope the past few years will not end up being the best years of your life. I wouldnt wish that on my greatest enemy, she said. If Regents exams and high school drama characterize the best years of your life, there is something seriously wrong.
She continued, I hope you all flourish in your own hopes and dreams, whether it means owning a day care or a Fortune 500 company. I hope the memories you make in your adult lives make all those 6 a.m. alarms worth while.
Valedictorian Kate O. Hildreth used her speech to say thanks and offer some words of wisdom from the late Dr. Seuss.
I would like to begin by thanking our superintendent, members of the Board of Education, and the principals of the three schools in our district, she said. A big thank you as well to friends, family, and members of the community. Its a pleasure to share this night with you. And of course thank you to members of the Class of 2013.
As for the words of Dr. Seuss, she read in its entirety, a commencement address he once gave at Lake Forest College.
My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurants bill of fare. And when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare. Then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair. To eat these things, said my uncle, you must exercise great care. You may swallow down whats solid, but you must spit out the air! And as you partake of the worlds bill of fare, thats darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.
After sharing Dr. Seuss speech, she offered her own words of advice.
Dont base your life around somebody elses ideas. Make your own.
Salutatorian Rhea LaFleur said one year ago she decided she was ready to leave Potsdam, but this year she came to the realization she might not be as ready as she thought.
About a year ago, I decided I would be on this stage tonight instead of in the audience. Of course I was ready. I was surely self-disciplined enough, I was ambitious, and I spent a full two weeks away at summer camp, so I was obviously independent enough, she said. It took me all of three months to realize I didnt feel ready, not even close.
She continued, Why wasnt I ready? For 15 years I overlooked Potsdams charms, but in this last year I began to appreciate them.
Growing up in Potsdam, Ms. LaFleur said she was frequently bored and knew she wanted to live in the a big city, noting she still has that dream. So why would I regret leaving this small, rural town? I think the answer lies in one of my mothers tacky knickknacks, she said. The one most prominently displayed is in our front hall, near the doorway, and reads, Home is where your story begins. As much as I wanted to leave Potsdam, the people here made it my home.
Noting shes still not sure if shes ready to leave, she, as well as her classmates, can take solace in knowing they can always come back home to Potsdam.
She then closed her speech with a quote from Shel Silverstein, There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part. So just give me a happy middle, and a very happy start.
Students werent the only ones imparting words of wisdom.
Superintendent Patrick H. Brady noted the challenges this years graduates are facing are different than the ones their parents had to tackle.
Your generation, like those before you, has its own unique circumstances, he said. Many of the jobs open to you did not even exist when your parents were born. It is likely you will move around more, work in a service occupation and compete in a global network. These are exciting times with breaking technology and tremendous opportunity for those willing to work hard.
Mr. Brady then shared some words from former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.
Principal JoAnn Chambers also shared her memories of the class in a speech that included each one of the 108 graduates names.
The story of the Potsdam High School Class of 2013 is like that of no other, she said. Its a story filled with characters more unique than any author could conjure up.
The years commencement address came from Geoffrey Coleman, a high school math teacher, elected by the students to speak to their class.
Mr. Coleman, who spoke off the cuff without prepared remarks, said he was flabbergasted by the honor and compared it to a time in high school when a few days before the class elections a student he described as a dirt bag decided to launch a write-in campaign for class president and out of curiosity many students in the class voted for him and he won.
Then something funny happened. He changed and matured and ended up being a very good president. He may have gone to an Ivy League School, he said. Maybe theyre hoping for the same thing to happen tonight.
Mr. Coleman said graduations arent events that he would normally attend.
I didnt go to my own high school graduation, he said. You would think I would have a good excuse like I was ill or something, but I fell asleep.
Mr. Coleman, who is the father of five boys, said he did attend each of their graduations.
I did go to the one for each of my own kids when they graduated, but its not like I wanted to go, he said with a laugh. They didnt want me to go either.
Mr. Coleman also used his speech as an opportunity to talk about education reform, noting that he thinks its ridiculous that teachers arent allowed to grade their own Regents exams anymore.
They dont trust us. They dont trust the teachers. They think were going to cheat, he said. You know why they think that way? Because theyre politicians and thats what they do.
He also noted the state, despite not having enough money to adequately fund education, seems to think a way to improve its education system is to pay teachers more money.
You can double my salary, and its not going to make me a better teacher, he said. You can cut it in half, and Im not going to do any worse.
He then explained another new initiative, in which, teachers who are considered exemplary can qualify for a $15,000 stipend each year for three years by helping to mentor young teachers.
They think if I go to colleges where students are studying to be teachers some magic will rub off on them, he said, also referencing a proposal where students who want to teach must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in order to become certified, noting his GPA of 2.96 would have left him on the outside looking in.
Its not grades that make great teachers. Its a passion for learning, he said, noting that passion is something he has.
Work is a vacation for me, he said. I say that and I mean it. The best thing I can hope for all of you is that when youre 54, you feel the same way and when people ask you when youre going to retire you can laugh in their face.
In order to get that feeling though, Mr. Coleman said passion is the key.
If youre the son of a doctor and a lawyer, but for some reason you have a passion for plumbing, you should be a plumber, he said. You shouldnt be afraid.

On October 27, 2010, the John L. Grove College of Business sponsored the "Career Expo 2010" in Shippensburg's Recreation Center. With 56 participating companies and governmental agencies in attendance, students had the opportunity to network with prospective employers regarding full- and part-time positions, internship opportunities, and to learn about a wide-variety of careers. More than 330 students, dressed in their best business attire and armed with resumes in hand, engaged employers, many of whom were Ship alum, with the hopes of securing a great position.
The Career Expo, which has become a favored biennial event at Shippensburg University, was made possible through the efforts of Dr. Tony Winter, Ms. Melanie Lugo, Mr. Joe Lyons, and the rest of the staff in the Grove College of Business. Students representing our business professional organizations volunteered to work throughout the day to perform functions critical to the Expo's success including employer and student registration, marketing, decorating and event tare-down.

Local golfer sinks hole in one.
Gary Mills of Price sank a hole-in-one at the Green River State Park Golf Course Jan. 6.
The milestone was witnessed by Tom Richards, Butch Billing and Richard Edwards.
The hole-in-one was made using a seven iron from 146 yards away on hole number eight, a par three hole.
Winter recreationalists cautioned to stay off Cleveland and Huntington Reservoirs.
Recently, the Utah State Parks and Recreation officials issued a warning to all outdoor winter recreationalists who intend to venture out onto the Cleveland and Huntington Reservoirs.
The ice on both of these waterways represents a serious hazard to snow machine riders, skiers and ice fishermen.
The Cleveland-Huntington Canal Company is in the process of draining down both reservoirs.
The draw down has created multiple layers of soft ice sandwiched by voids of air and/or water.
The ice pack on each reservoir must be considered extremely dangerous and highly unstable.
Any recreational use atop either reservoir is both reckless and foolish.
This hazardous condition is expected to continue into March.
To be safe, stay away from both Huntington and Cleveland reservoirs for the rest of the winter season.
When recreating on any frozen reservoir, utilize the buddy system.
Both persons should be equipped with personal ice picks, rope and some kind of floatation device to ensure tools are available.

POTSDAM Canton-Potsdam Hospitals $5.5 million, 20,000-square-foot extension to its 49 Lawrence Ave. campus will be open for business Monday as a one-stop shop for primary medical care.
The campus was dedicated Wednesday at a ceremony open only to donors. The entire facility was renamed the Helen Snell Cheel Medical Campus, after the woman who bequeathed $5.7 million to the hospital before her death in 2005.
Four primary care practitioners will start work in the facility Monday, with two more joining them the following week.
The hospital will recruit more doctors in the coming months, with another expected to join in November. The facility has enough offices and examination rooms for 10 physicians.
The campus also will house a laboratory for blood work and an after-hours urgent care clinic. The latter is still under construction, and will open either late this year or early in 2014.
A nutritionist, diabetes specialist and social worker all will work out of the new wing, while specialists will continue to operate out of the existing portion of the campus.
All of this is done to create an all-in-one primary care facility, giving patients a central location for medical care.
You have all the care you need surrounding your visit, said hospital spokeswoman Rebecca J. Faber, who used the centrally located laboratory as an example.
You might have people here for an orthopedic surgery appointment, and they need blood work done, so they come over here, she said.
The hospital also is helping out students in Clarkson Universitys physician assistant program. One of the examination rooms is overlooked by another room with one-way glass. Students will be able to observe simulations of medical procedures and, with patient approval, actual exams.
From the time the building was first approved by the hospital board to its completion was only 11 months. This was accomplished by doing the design work and construction at the same time.
A windstorm in May caused a short delay in the project when 40-mile-per-hour winds knocked down part of the wood-frame roof.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
There is a hidden, parasitic economy in Carbon County and it is sucking away lives and livelihoods from the productive side. It is the economy of drugs.
Rather than focus on the individual risks of substance abuse - the "Your Brain on Drugs" and "Just Say No" campaigns have already done that - the Sun Advocate decided to take a look at how the problems of a few are affecting all of us in dollar terms.
Two agents from the Carbon County Drug Task Force gave some details on the situation. The Task Force focuses on long-term investigations in drug-related cases. They have both seen what's going on at different levels of the drug trade, and they don't want to be identified.
First of all, the drugs - illegal or prescription - are here. That's no surprise since this is nationwide and not only a county problem. "It's perceived in all communities in this country and we are no better or worse than any county our size," commented one of the agents.
So what does that mean to Carbon County and other rural communities in dollar terms?
Pain pills at $80 a pop
That is tough to determine, given that dealers and users don't publish annual financial reports. It is possible, however, to calculate the cost of one pill or one drug buy and multiply to get a rough idea. For example, the agents said the going street price for an 80 milligram dose of Oxycontin is $80. That's basically more than a day's pay at minimum wage, or a pretty good chunk of cash out of a better-paying job.
That's $80 that the user will not spend on legitimate goods and services, which means it is money that Main Street in any town here won't see. Whoever is making the major profits will spend the money somewhere, but the high-end profits generally go elsewhere. The ordinary street dealers of any drug don't make much. "They'd be better off getting a real job," said one of the agents.
That $80 pill can arrive on the street in several different ways. It can be smuggled across the borders from Canada or Mexico, where prescription drugs are cheaper.
It could have originated in this country and been burglarized out of someone's medicine cabinet. Burglars do watch for signs and listen for news of someone who has had an operation or has some other reason to be on pain killers.
It could be bought at a pharmacy with a prescription. That means the either the user or dealer is either paying out-of-pocket, or using insurance or social program payments to offset the cost, the agents said. So now taxes and insurance premiums are affected to some extent, although it is not possible to put a firm dollar figure on that.
Heroin on the rise
The task force agents did say that doctors are being "very cautious" when prescribing pain medications, making it more difficult but not impossible to get the stuff by either faking symptoms or getting prescriptions from more than one doctor. They said they have busted one 70-year-old who was augmenting his income by selling prescription pain killers he bought legally but didn't need.
The progress curbing the illicit pain-pill supply has produced one undesirable but economically predictable side effect: heroin use appears to be on the rise. Heroin and Oxycontin, as depressants, have similar effects on the central nervous system, the agents explained. A balloon of heroin goes for about $30 on the street, versus the $80 for the 80 mg. of Oxycontin.
With heroin comes needles, and with needles come the risks of HIV and hepatitis A and B. Those are added social costs in terms of medical care.
Then there is the cost of law enforcement and court expenses.
One crime leads to another
At the recent "Meet the Candidates" forum, Sheriff James Cordova declared that drugs are the number one law enforcement problem in Carbon County. He said that the jail is routinely holding more than the 87 inmates for which it was designed. The majority are in for drugs, or drug related crimes. (Alcohol, a mind-altering drug, is included in this.)
Anyone can access the court calendar of Seventh Judicial District Court to confirm this. The web site http://www.utcourts.gov/cgi-bin/cal/display.cgi?fn=12 has a list of all scheduled appearances for the next two weeks. It gives a glimpse of the percentage of cases taking up the court's time, the law enforcement case load and the County Attorney's time.
County Attorney Gene Strate estimated that roughly 80 percent of his and his staff's time is spent prosecuting drug and drug-related crimes.
Many if not most of these cases involve crimes beyond drug possession. Burglary, bad checks, theft and assorted other crimes will often be listed along with drug offenses on the docket.
"There is a definite correlation between the drug trade and other crimes," one of the task force agents confirmed. "The stronger the addiction, the greater the impulse," the other added.
A dose a day adds up
Kaylum Paletta, a youth counselor at Four Corners Behavioral Health, explained that the drug-crime link is forged in two basic ways. First there are people who get hooked on drugs and will turn to other crimes to support the habit. Second there are criminals who already show antisocial behavior and wind up doing or dealing drugs because that is part of their established pattern.
How the judicial system treats these issues is the subject of the next story in this series. Drug Court, a special branch of the district court, will be the subject. Cordova's opponent in the election, Robb Radley, agreed that drugs are indeed a problem and that the drug court program is showing success.
To the basic costs already outlined, add to that the expense that taxpayers carry through the Division of Child and Family Services. Previous stories have quoted that one of the major causes of family breakups and domestic violence result from drug abuse, including alcohol.
The cost of one dose a day for each user adds up.
