Go ahead…"unburn" it. If it is undercooked…you can save it. Burn it, you can lie and call it "Cajun style" or you can scrape the toast. But beyond that…it's over. Even or uneven heat, which is best? Well the answer is………it depends.

There will be a new route to downtown Ogdensburg for this years annual Light Up the Night Santa Parade.
Parade co-chairperson Rhonda L. Roethel said Thursday that the Nov. 23 parade route will start on State Street in front of Ogdensburg Free Academy at 6 p.m. and proceed nine blocks north to Ford Street and one block to the east to City Hall where Santa will greet children.
The previous route, west on Ford Street for 15 blocks to City Hall was dropped after two restaurants, Phoenix On The Bay, 1702 Ford St., and The Place, 1602 Ford St., said that their business was slow because of the passing parade last year.
Were happy with it, Ms. Roethel said. Well make it work.
Ms. Roethel and parade co-chairperson Kathleen A. Bouchard agreed that State Street makes for a better parade than Ford Street because it has more lighting and points of access. It is also not a narrow thoroughfare which allows for on-street parking for parade watchers in their vehicles due to
Inclement weather.
Its a wider street which is going to be a big plus for us, Ms. Roethel said.
It was earlier suggested that the parade avoid the two restaurants by leaving the lot at the 1800 block of Ford Street, go one block south to Greene Street, go another block west to Rosseel Street and north to Ford Street, heading west downtown to City Hall.
Parade entry forms can be picked up at Roethels, 1801 Ford St., Medicine Place, 511 State St., and the clerks office at City Hall, 330 Ford St.

Submission Steam gets first game on Linux-> 2
dotarray writes: "Beta late than never," laughs the Steam Linux Team, who has been hard at work porting the digital distribution service over to the new platform. Word on the street (well, on the blog) suggests that they're getting closer than ever to their goal, announcing an internal beta kicking off next week, with a "private external" launch sometime next month.

Administrator and Additional Users
Assign rights of your eShop as the administrator to employees
- Assign privileges to additional users
- You are the sole administrator with full privileges
- Build up your own internal structure
- Ideal for shops with several employees
Privilege transfer makes you more flexible
As the administrator, you alone have full access to all areas of your 1&1 eShop
and you can transfer certain rights to employees. They can then work within their assigned area
separately and independently from each other.
The following privileges can be transferred to additional users:
- Basic settings
- Item administration
- eBay
- eShop designer
- Publishing
- Customer administration
- Order administration
- Marketing
- Import/export
Combine privileges
How you assign the privileges is entirely up to you. For example, you can assign several additional users the same privileges and one user different privileges for several areas.
Each additional user can work with your 1&1 eShop from anywhere online and may only access the assigned areas. This enables several specialists to work together from different locations.
Your administrator privileges
Of course, as the administrator you have privileges for all areas – one area is even solely reserved for you: the user administration. Only you are able to assign or cancel privileges for additional users.

I'm so happy to share with you some more of my friend Cindy's new patterns. Every couple of weeks I get a call: "Hey Mandy, are you available?" And I know that means Cindy has her next pattern ready to be photographed. Fortunately for us, her daughter/model Mallory was home from college for the long weekend. Next time I guess we'll be heading to the mountains for the photoshoot. Fine by me! Get the floor ready, Mal, because I'm spending the night.
This first pattern is Synchronicity, or 11:11. From the pattern: "The 11:11 scarf if a mind-focusing project that gives you an opportunity to reflect on your spiritual purpose in life." I knit one. I had revelations. Get your copy for just $3 on Ravelry. The pictures:
You can see it's a straightforward pattern that gets it life from your yarn choice and the energy you put into it while knitting. I used a hand spun, hand dyed BFL which obviously was amazing. I'll have to snap a pic.
The next pattern, which we just photographed yesterday, is Vivacity! It's a sweet open-front sweater, constructed with lacy squares sewn together. This one is $5 and is available on Ravelry right now!
The other option for getting these patterns or any of Cindy's other designs is to visit her website www.KnitFocused.com. Cindy also is really getting into the groove with her tweeting. Check it. She needs more followers!

The contest is the second game in a doubleheader that begins at noon with the Lady Demons playing host to McNeese.
Campbell's Camels (17-11), one of the top teams in the Big South Conference, makes 50.2 percent of their shots, a rate bettered only by Creighton's 51.1 percent. The Demons (14-12) rank fourth nationally in blocked shots per game (6.8) and 10th in steals per game (9.0), with senior center William Mosley (4.3) second behind Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis (4.9) in blocks per game. The 6-7 Mosley is eighth all-time in NCAA history with 443 career blocks and will move into seventh with his next rejection.
He'll be battling 6-8 Campbell center Eric Griffin, whose 62.8 percent shooting percentage is the NCAA's sixth-best. Griffin averages 16.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.
In the last two games, the Demons have made only 34.5 percent of their shots including just 26 percent on 3-pointers.
In the last three halves, the second half of a 66-61 loss last Saturday at Southeastern Louisiana and Monday night's 70-61 defeat by McNeese State, NSU has shot 31 percent overall and 19 percent behind the 3-point arc.
This came on the heels of a three-game stretch in which Northwestern made 50 percent overall and 49 percent of its 3-pointers. Adding to the perplexing situation, NSU has made 76 percent of its free throws in the last two games with its second and third-best performances of the season at the line.
"It must be something we ate, because everybody's in a slump," said junior guard Shamir Davis, the Demons' leading scorer with a 13.3 average. "We're shooting the same shots we've taken all season, driving the same way, but shots just aren't going in. That's going to happen at times in basketball. We know we can do better. We've been seeing zones all season, and we just have to come through and handle it better."
One thing NSU is doing well: defending the 3-point shot. Over the last eight games, opponents are making just 26 percent of their 3-point tries.
Mosley and senior guard Louis Ellis are each averaging 10.8 points. Junior forward James Hulbin has averaged 10.3 per game in the last four games while hitting five of his 11 3-pointers. Ellis has hit 40 percent of his 3-point tries in the last six games. Natchitoches native Gary Roberson has a hot hand, making 52 percent of his shots, including 8 of 15 on 3-pointers, in the last five games.
The Camels are topped in scoring by sixth-man Darren White's 17.0 average and 53 percent shooting aim, with freshman guard Trey Freeman pitching in 14.7 per game and shooting 88 percent on free throws, including a current school-record streak of 35 makes in a row.
Campbell shot 62 percent at Iowa in a Nov. 23 77-61 win over the Hawkeyes. Last year, the Camels won at Auburn.
The teams will meet for the third time.
Northwestern outscored Campbell 110-99 on Dec. 14, 1977 in Prather Coliseum, and the Camels evened the score a year later with a 67-64 victory in Raleigh, N.C. Current Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey was the Demons' point guard in those games.
The game will be broadcast on the Demon Sports Network, flagshipped by 100.7 KZBL FM in Natchitoches .

SYRACUSE You wont hear anyone on the Syracuse University football team say it, but after an 0-2 start against stiff competition, SU finally gets its early-season cupcake today.
Wagner of the Football Championship Subdivision comes at a perfect time for the winless Orange, which has had a difficult time finding rhythm on either side of the ball in losses to Penn State and No. 17 Northwestern.
SU is a 28 �-point favorite in todays home opener, scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Carrier Dome. The game will not be televised, but is available on ESPN3 online and Time Warner Cable Channel 398, a pay-for-view station.
You can never sleep on an opponent. You can never change, never change what you do, never change how you prepare, said senior quarterback Drew Allen, who will start today but share time with sophomore Terrel Hunt.
Theres a sense of urgency when youre 0-2, he added.
SU is 11-0 all-time against FCS opponents and 10-0 in the Dome since 1978, when the NCAA formed the Division I-AA subdivision (later re-named FCS).
Going back further, the Orange has won its past 29 games against current FCS members, with its only loss occurring in 1958, to Holy Cross, 14-13.
Its football. Its the same thing whoever youre playing, said Hunt, expected to enter around the fourth series of the game. You could be playing little leaguers. Were still going to go out there and try to beat them.
Despite the odds heavily in SUs favor, first-year coach Scott Shafer was quick to point out the credentials of Wagner (1-1). The Seahawks won their first Northeast Conference championship last season with a 9-4 record.
Wagner coach of 33 years, Walt Hameline, was named National Coach of the Year in the FCS by the College Sports Journal and College Sporting News.
Hameline, a 1975 graduate of SUNY Brockport, was also named the NEC Coach of the Year.
Wagner nearly upset Florida Atlantic in its last game against an FBS team, suffering a 7-3 loss in last seasons opener on the road.
We have a team coming off a championship season and broke records, Shafer said.
Regardless of where theyre at, a championship team is a championship team, he added. We need to approach it the same way we would any solid football team were going against.
Wagner captured its season opener, 28-21, over Georgetown. It lost a 42-41 shootout to Merrimack last Saturday.
Running back Dominique Williams is averaging 136 yards rushing through two games.
Quarterback Matt Misley, who also punts for the team, is averaging 140 yards passing and 45 rushing. He has thrown three touchdowns and ran for two this year.
They put up 35 points a game on offense right now, Shafer said.
They have a quarterback that is mobile, can both throw and run, and can create plays to be extended with his feet. Those are the areas were focused in on defending. Were looking forward to that challenge.

How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
Vapor technology utilises 3 unique fabrics; High Fil, High Fil Mesh and High Fil Sub. Each fabric contains these unique product enhancing features:
Cross channeled yarns wick vapour from inner to outer layers

Well, I duno. I grew up with mechanical keyboards and a m8 has one that feels pretty close to how those did back in the day. I don't know which switches he has in his (I think it's a DasKeyboard, in that case it must be brown ones), but I think it's brown or black ones.
The best distance when the key triggers is a thing that really depends on each persons taste individually, I suppose, but I was just not digging it, because it was close to two times as long as it is on my current keyboard.
I am also very partial to Logitech peripherals, their very lowest tiers aren't anything special, but aside from that their devices never let me down.

Eveland reminds me of Guthrie. A guy with talent but yet to put it all together. If he pitches to at least league average this year he will be worth in July at least what we paid for him and maybe much more. LHP don't grow on trees.

If you develop signs and symptoms common to long QT syndrome, call your doctor. After an initial examination, it's likely that the doctor will refer you to a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions (cardiologist) or a heart rhythm specialist (electrophysiologist).
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Questions to ask the doctor at your initial appointment include:
Questions to ask if you are referred to a cardiologist or electrophysiologist include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment if you don't understand something.
A doctor or cardiologist who sees you or your child for possible long QT syndrome may ask a number of questions, including:
While you wait for your appointment, check with your family members to find out if any first-degree relatives have been diagnosed with heart disease or have died suddenly. Having a first-degree relative who died from an unexpected cause — such as from SIDS, from drowning or while driving — is an important clue for your doctor. And in general, knowing as much as possible about your family's health history will help your doctor determine next steps for your diagnosis and treatment.
A nonprofit advocacy organization called the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation can help you prepare and understand your family history as it relates to a possible diagnosis of LQTS.
If exercise makes your symptoms worse, avoid exerting yourself physically until you've been seen by your doctor.

What Can HyperSync Do for You?
HyperSync® is one of the most revolutionary features for flash photography since the flash bulb. It's also the least known or understood concept in flash photography despite it being four years since it was first introduced.
Simply put, HyperSync is a feature in our ControlTL® radios that lets you use shutter speeds above the normal x-sync limitations when using studio flash. It is very dependent on the camera and flash models being used but with the right combination of gear you can use shutter speeds all the way to 1/8000th of a second with studio flash!
How is this possible? The ControlTL radios with this feature (MiniTT1, FlexTT5, PowerST4, PowerMC2) are able to advance the timing of the flash triggering so at speeds above x-sync you're still getting light from the flash to expose the sensor. Normally, if you tried to go above your camera's x-sync speed with a flash, you would get "clipping" or a black bar across your image. That part of the sensor missed being exposed by the flash because it was exposed prior to the flash firing.

Mushroom season off to a slow start thanks to dry summer
EUGENE, Ore. - The long, dry summer meant a slow start to mushroom season, affecting pickers, grocery stores and restaurants.
"By this time usually the woods are flowing with all different varieties of fungi," said Tom LoCascio, organizer of the Mount Pisgah Mushroom Festival, "but things this year have been delayed."
Mushroom season usually gets started in September, but the near-record dry summer slowed things down.
"We dug down into the mulch in the ground to see if there was moisture down there, and it was really dry," said Noah Dailey-McIlrath. "Just a couple inches down there was no water."
He went mushroom hunting last weekend but only found two chanterelles, a variety of mushroom that can only be found in natural conditions.
"They have to be wildcrafted because they cannot replicate their conditions on a farm," Dailey-McIlrath said.
In September, Marche restaurant in Eugene had to buy mushrooms from Washington. This month were they able to find mushrooms to purchase from the Oregon Coast.
"Beautiful, dry, clean mushrooms," said executive chef Karl Zank, "but unfortunately they are also really expensive."
Zank said the price for mushrooms all over the Northwest is high this year because of the low supply.
But there is one positive thing for mushrooms due to the dry season.
"The mushrooms themselves are dry they have more intense flavor," Zank said. "They are clean because they are not getting mud splashed on them from the rain."

Post subject: ladies from the midlands, russells hall or Worcester?
This is a long shot but have any of you had experiences of Worcester hospital and or russells hall maternity ward? I had my first at Worcester, the midwife was awful and I had am awful time, long story short my dealings with Worcester have not been good at all! I can opt to go to russells hall but will have to have all of my scans there and most likely consultant appointments and growth scans, whilst this isnt a problem I was interested to know if anyone else had experiences of either hospital?x x

Post subject:
I have heard mixed responses for Worcester Royal, my friends have had their children there and had different experiences. I had my first there he was 7 weeks early and I actually couldn't fault them all the way through so I suppose I was very lucky. The only issue that I had was when he was in NICU due to being prem and I got upset as they seemed to never tell me anything re his progress etc, so I complained to one of the midwives. She said that I wasn't the first to have mentioned this and went to speak to them. From then on they were great, apologised and said that they get so caught up on looking after the babies.
In total I was in there for 2 weeks, spending the second week in the transitional care unit, the midwives and nursery nurses in there were fab and after reluctuntly being transferred in there, I am glad I did now as it was really helpful and supportive.
With this baby things with Worcester have so far been ok, am being consultant led with no concerns so far. I keep my fingers crossed that it continues to be fine.
Have you chatted with your midwife about the problems that you had at Worcester? I am not sure where Russell's Hall is, though I have heard of it before.

Post subject:
Thanks so much for your reply, I'm sorry to hear of your time in the NICU, and hope everything is fine now. I havnt yet seen my doc or a midwife with this pregnancy, I'm only 6- 7 weeks and booking my booking appointment next week and know they will ask me where I want to go at that appointment so thoughtt I would do some research.
russells hall in close to Birmingham, Dudley way if you know it, its about the same distance as we live between the 2 so travel isnt an issue, more the hassle of having to go further afield for consultant appointments rather thangoing to my local hospital. Worcester have been a total nightmar with us, I have had more negative experiences with worcs than positive x x

I had Sam at Russells hall, and despite bad review couldnt fault them. I did have to be a bit firm with them, to get admitted, but once in they were lovely.
However lots of people on my FB have been there lately and they are constantly short staffed and sending people away. My friend was sent away from induction 3 times, before going naturally at 13 days over. But I cant say that anyone has complained about the care once they are in. Its just a case of getting a bed.
Pesonally though out of all the local maternity hospitals I would only choose Russells hall, or Birmingham womens hospital.

Thank you for the info Steph, I have spent the last hour reading reviews on Worcester and RH and the reviews for Worcester are appalling! Same things I experienced are coming up, the only thing that concerns me at RH is short staff, and I know this is going to sound silly but I know late 2013 will be a busy time for giving birth with Katherine and Will expecting, it creates a baby boom
By gum its a mine field trying to decide these things, one thing I am sure of is I'm going to be much more stern with the midwives and just hope to god my experience this time will be more positive xx

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators know little about how patients feel following radiosurgery treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Patient satisfaction may ultimately be one of the most important outcome measures for an individual patient; however, this has not been adequately assessed or followed. Multiple questions remain unanswered, including whether there is a correlation between patient satisfaction, the level of their current pain score, and the presence and degree of facial numbness, a possible side effect after radiosurgery. Therefore, the goal of this study is to gather this information from the patients who received radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia at Stanford and evaluate post-treatment patient satisfaction, the degree of facial numbness, and current pain score. This data will help the investigators understand outcomes that are important for patient satisfaction following treatment of a chronic pain syndrome.

Kenyan motorists drive on June 4, 2012 on the newly upgraded highway... ニュース写真ケニア,ナイロビ,ファイナンス,主要道路,交通量,容易,援助,新しい,横長,経済,運転する,道路Photographer SIMON MAINACollection: AFP 2013 AFPKenyan motorists drive on June 4, 2012 on the newly upgraded highway on Thika road, which has helped ease traffic in the country's capital Nairob. According to an IBM Commuter Pain Survey, Nairobi residents have the fourth most painful commute in the world. City officials estimate that traffic jams cost the economy over 600,000 US dollars (482,600 euros) per day in lost productivity, fuel consumption and pollution. It has been estimated that the population of Nairobi will increase from the current 3 million to 4.3 million in 2025, hence the urgent need to upgrade the city's roads.

CSU ROTC Training Future Leaders
November 8, 2012
By Stephanie Thara
Along with programs such as Troops to College and the CSU Veterans Admissions Program that help veterans gain an education, CSU campuses offer interested students the opportunity to become future officers in the U.S. Armed Forces through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). Various CSUs offer ROTC for the Air Force, Army and Navy right on campus or students may participate in an ROTC program offered as a cooperative effort with a neighboring institution. Additionally, Cal Maritime offers a Coast Guard officer training program.
At most of the training programs held on CSU campuses, courses are divided into basic and advanced instruction. Generally, the first two years focus on an overview of the chosen military branch and field training basics. During their senior year, students take classes and participate in activities that teach them the leadership skills essential to becoming an officer. Students receive hands-on experience through leadership and field engineering readiness laboratories, language and cultural immersion programs.
As a nationwide program, ROTC is adopted by designated universities that use local resources to customize the program to give cadets a well-rounded education. For example, Fresno State's Army ROTC offers training options, such as air assault school, a nurse summer training program, drill cadet leader training, and mountain warfare school. Members of the color guard and drill team at San José State's Air Force ROTC learn the true meaning of precision, dexterity and teamwork as they practice rigorous and complex routines that are showcased for military audiences and the local community. Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State offer students opportunities for additional training through clubs such as surface warfare club, aviation club and the submarine club.
Through extensive field preparation, advanced leadership and training courses, knowledgeable university professors and veteran cadre, the CSU produces some of the finest officers in the U.S. military.

NORFOLK Brandon D. Murphy, 19, of 2009 Sober St., was charged by state police at 2:49 p.m. Friday with second-degree sexual abuse of an individual under 14 years old, tampering with evidence, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, unlawful possession of marijuana and two counts of second-degree criminal sale of marijuana.
Police said that when they responded to a domestic dispute in Norfolk between a mother and her 13-year-old daughter, the mother told them she received a call from her daughters school on Friday, informing her that her daughter had been absent for a few days in a row.
The daughter told police that she and a 12-year-old friend stayed overnight at Mr. Murphys residence from Wednesday to Thursday.
Police said the daughter told her mother that she was staying at her friends house and that she met her friend at Norfolk Library, where both girls were picked up by Mr. Murphy.
Police said that he sold the girls marijuana, and that when police arrived at Mr. Murphys residence, it was clear that he had tried to destroy evidence by burning marijuana in a wood-burning stove.
He was held without bail at St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, and is scheduled to appear in Norfolk Town Court.

An action for judicial review of the terms, conditions, and limitations may not be commenced later than 20 days from the date of the termination of the conservatorship or the imposition of the order, whichever is later.
(d) Action upon termination
(1) In general
Upon termination of the conservatorship under subsection (a)(2) of this section, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as conservator, or when another person is appointed conservator, such other person, shall conclude the affairs of the conservatorship in accordance with paragraph (2).

A Stage 2 Cognitive-behavioral Trial: Reduce Alcohol First in Kenya Intervention (RAFIKI)

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will determine whether a group cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention that demonstrates preliminary evidence of reducing alcohol use among HIV-infected outpatients in western Kenya is effective when compared against a group health education intervention in a large sample over a longer period of time. It will be delivered by paraprofessionals, individuals with limited formal education and little or no relevant professional experience. This approach is consistent with successful cost-effective models of service delivery in resource-limited settings in which paraprofessionals (e.g., clinical officers, traditional birth attendants and peer counselors) are trained.

- Timeline Followback alcohol use (percent drinking days) [ Time Frame: longitudinal alcohol use from baseline (past 30 days) to 9 month post-intervention follow up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Timeline Followback is a well-established, reliable and valid retrospective calendar-based measure employing memory cues to assess alcohol use. The primary hypothesis is that CBT will be more effective than HL in reducing alcohol use (percent drinking days) from baseline (past 30 days) through the 6-week active treatment phase. The secondary hypothesis is that CBT will be more effective than HL in reducing alcohol use (percent drinking days) from baseline through the 9-month post-intervention follow-up.

Detailed Description:
Hazardous and binge drinking have been associated with increased risky sexual behavior, poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ARVs) and toxicity from ARVs among those with HIV infection. As such, hazardous and binge drinking (score of e3 on the Alcohol Use Disorders Test - Consumption (AUDIT-C), or e6 drinks per occasion at least monthly) have a major impact on HIV transmission and disease progression. Prevalence rates of hazardous drinking are particularly high among HIV (53%) and general medicine (68%) outpatients in western Kenya, in part due to the wide availability of potent traditional brew. Growing evidence suggests that heavy drinking is an obstacle to successful sexual risk reduction approaches. This team recently completed a Stage 1 trial of a group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention delivered by paraprofessionals to reduce alcohol use among 74 HIV-infected Kenyans (R21AA017884). Results demonstrated feasibility, acceptability and estimated a large treatment effect at post-treatment. Investigators now propose a large Stage 2 efficacy trial of the CBT alcohol intervention. The goal is to evaluate the efficacy of the Reduce Alcohol First in Kenya Intervention (RAFIKI) in its ability to reduce alcohol use within a larger Stage 2 trial that includes an active control and a longer follow-up period. Rafiki means friend in Kiswahili, the national language of Kenya. The trial will be conducted by the Kenya Health Behavior Study (KHBS) team, an experienced group of Kenyan and U.S. behavioral scientists, physicians, substance users in recovery and persons infected with HIV. KHBS expands on well-established ties between the Academic Model for Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) and the Brown University Medical School, which has been an active AMPATH partner since 1997. AMPATH currently treats more than 75,000 HIV-infected patients in 25 clinics in western Kenya. As part of these efforts, investigators have ready locally adapted training, treatment and fidelity rating manuals, a successful paraprofessional intervention delivery model, clinical assessment tools, and an experienced local team of trainers and supervisors. The specific aims are to: 1) To examine the efficacy of a same-sex group CBT intervention in a randomized clinical trial of 336 HIV-infected Kenyan outpatients who report hazardous or binge drinking, when compared to a time-matched group Healthy Lifestyles education intervention; 2) To conduct analyses to examine the mechanisms of intervention effects; and 3) To conduct exploratory analyses to examine the relationship between intervention condition and sexual risk behaviors. Completion of these objectives, which are consistent with NIAAA's mission to reduce both alcohol use and HIV risk in vulnerable populations, will provide a robust test of efficacy of the paraprofessionally led group CBT and potentially provide a sustainable and transportable intervention for other settings in sub-Saharan Africa.

What's going on with gas prices?
After rocketing up an average of about 55 cents in the past month — more at some stations — gas prices in Sonoma County appear to have leveled off and may even have peaked. Analysts say the price surge was driven by the annual switch by refineries from making winter gas to more expensive-to-produce-but-cleaner summer gas and by some refineries reducing production to do maintenance. AAA reported Wednesday that the average price for regular gas in Santa Rosa was $4.169,… Read More »

Left in the Darkness
Whoever said that things need to get worse before they could get better probably had no idea just how bad worse really is.
While mostly physically healed from a gay bashing that almost left him dead, Taylor is still an emotional mess. Not only does he have to deal with the fact that his own brother was one of the attackers, but Taylor has been disowned by his father as well. The only bright spot in Taylor's life is his small group of friends, but even they have their own issues. Christian is now angry all the time. James has to deal with his own homophobic father. Devlin is wondering if he'll ever be able to measure up to others' expectations. Worst of all, Andy seems to be walking down a path that will only lead to his destruction. Can the Haven House Coffee Boys overcome all their obstacles? Or will the darkness overcome them?

A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
The Human and Social Dynamics (HSD) priority area fosters breakthroughs in understanding the dynamics of human action and development, as well as knowledge about organizational, cultural, and societal adaptation and change. HSD aims to increase our collective ability to (1) understand the complexities of change; (2) understand the dynamics of human and social behavior at all levels, including that of the human mind; (3) understand the cognitive and social structures that create, define, and result from change; and (4) manage profound or rapid change, and make decisions in the face of changing risks and uncertainty. Accomplishing these goals requires multidisciplinary research teams and comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches across the sciences, engineering, education, and humanities, as appropriate.
The FY 2008 competition will include three emphasis areas (Agents of Change; Dynamics of Human Behavior; and Decision Making, Risk and Uncertainty). HSD encourages projects investigating complexity and systems thinking, with a goal of revealing the emergent properties of dynamic systems. HSD also encourages projects identifying human drivers of environmental change and exploring the consequences of environmental change on humans. Such research is central in equipping us to handle the most pressing environmental problems for our nation and the world.

Situated in the far eastern corner of Germany, south-east of Dresden, Saxon Switzerland National Park protects more than 36,000 hectares of the Elbe Sandstone Massif, sculpted over the course of millennia by the Elbe river – the perfect place for a journey of discovery all the way back to the Cretaceous period.
Located in Saxony, Germany's most easterly federal state, Saxon Switzerland National Park offers bizarre eroded rock formations dating from the Cretaceous period, a fascinating landscape that is the only one of its kind in central Europe. The park is characterised by sandstone cliffs, deeply carved valleys, table mountains and gorges – a truly remarkable landscape.
Visitors can catch a glimpse of rare animals such as eagle owls, otters and dormice. The presence of a number of different habitats in a relatively small area has given rise to a diverse flora of ferns, lichen and mosses. Rock climbing in the national park is an excellent way to see Saxon Switzerland in all its glory, but there are also more leisurely ways to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, such as a trip to the Bastei rocks, which provide stunning panoramic views across the Elbe. Other options for exploring this amazing landscape include hiring a rowing boat or taking a boat excursion to admire the scenery from the river.
Additional attractions of the national park region are the national park centre, Königstein Fortress, Felsenbühne Rathen outdoor theatre, the Flössersteig robber baron's castle, the historical postal milestone in the town of Pirna with its Canaletto associations and of course the magnificent city of Dresden.
Back in the national park you can take a walk led by a national park ranger or go on an exciting boat trip through the gorges. Recommended excursions include an enchanting tour on the river Elbe on one of the world's oldest paddle-steamers and a trip to Lichtenhain waterfall on the old-fashioned Kirnitzsch valley tram.

New reports indicate that leftist billionaire George Soros is working to forge alliances with the radical Muslim Brotherhood by means of his financial contributions through a number of shadow organizations. Those organizations include the International Crisis Group, the organization behind the Responsibility to Protect doctrine under which the United States entered into Libya.
The Blaze also indicates that Soros' connections to the Muslim Brotherhood can also be traced through his relationship to his new spokesman Marwan Muasher, as well as Mohamed ElBaradei, Muslim Brotherhood leader who sits on the board of Soros' ICG. Muasher oversees research for the Middle East at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, funded by George Soros.

Mailbag: Is it time to trade Dickey AND Wright?
Joey G sent in the following e-mail: "I think as it becomes more clear that the Mets aren't spending money and 2013 – and maybe even 2014 – are less a priority than 2015, why not trade both David Wright and R.A. Dickey with the idea of building the most stacked farm in Major League Baseball. … As we learned this year, you forget real quickly about staying in the race for 3 months when you are out of it by August 1. So, why not just have a clear plan, instead of trying to balance being competitive now and building for the future, which seems to be too difficult to do without being able to spend money. Keep in mind, this team has zero outfielders, a bottom-of-the-pack bullpen, no power and no catcher. The other angle is they aren't exactly trading two guys who are about to enter their prime. Dickey is going to be 40 soon (although there's no telling how old his arm actually is) and David Wright is entering his 30 (and considering his power has taken a massive dive over the last 3-4 years, you can't expect it to come back as he ages). The bottom line is: trading both guys will yield a MASSIVE package of prospects for a team that has so many holes in it's lineup and no money to spend. It's the most sensible move, but not an easy one to make."
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
Joey, you explain this well enough to almost make me actually consider it. I think trading Dickey is reasonable, but moving Wright could be foolish. I suspect you value Wright, more than most fans, which is probably why you imagine him bringing back meaningful prospects.
In my view, Wright has significantly more value over the next seven years to the Mets (as a hitter, as a third baseman, as a guy who knows and plays well in New York, as someone to market and someone to guide young players) than he would have in any trade, because there is no guarantee those prospects will ever pan out. I'd take that bet on Dickey, because I think his age and the mileage on his body limit his upside, yet he'd still net good value in trade because he's a pitcher making little money.
Of course, I'm not as pessimistic about 2014 as you, it seems. The team will likely have around $50 to $60 million committed to that year's payroll, entering that off-season. I trust they'll keep payroll around $100 million, as it's going to be in 2013. That means lots of money available to build on Wright, Ike Davis, Jon Niese, Matt Harvey, Ruben Tejada and whatever other players they deem worthy of moving on. So, I'm not willing to give up on 2014 before 2013 has even started. Because of that, Joey, despite your sound argument, I have to keep Wright. The team will need him for the reasons I mentioned above. They can get prospects for Dickey, but I'm convinced Wright has to be here.

How your car insurance rates change
If you have car insurance, you probably have the same questions Sally did:
- What if I move? Get married? Get divorced?
- Get a speeding ticket? Buy a new car?
- What happens when I turn 25? When I retire?
- How much does raising my deductible help?
For very specific answers tailored to you and you alone, you'll have to talk to an insurance agent or compare quotes online. But Sally's story can give you an idea of what to expect on each of these occasions:
Sally lives in Albuquerque, N.M., and while her name is fictitious, the car insurance rates you are about to see are real.
We invented her to illustrate the changes in car insurance rates you might expect to see as you grow older (since car insurance for young drivers is almost always more expensive), get married and rack up driving and credit records. The dollar amounts are real; if you had exactly the same demographic and risk profile as Sally does, these are the rates you would be offered.
Chances are you don't. But that's OK.
When Sally met Stanley: An insurance story
Sally owns a 2008 Toyota Camry that is financed. She has no tickets or accidents on her driving record.
Sally didn't skimp on coverage, with bodily injury and property damage liability limits of 50/100/50 -- $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 per accident and $50,000 in property damage liability, far exceeding New Mexico's mandatory liability limits. She also has collision and comprehensive coverages with $500 deductibles.
Age: At 19, Sally's rate is $2,804 a year. At 25, it drops to $1,264. At 41, after many years of maintaining a clean driving record, her rate is only $860. At 71, her rate creeps back up to $1,202.
Location: At 41, if Sally moves to less-populated Gallup, N.M., her rate goes down to $732 from the $860 she was paying in Albuquerque.
Gender: At 41, Sally meets Stanley, also 41 and owner of a 2008 Camry. While Sally pays $860 a year for insurance, Stanley shells out $894 despite his equally clean record -- $34 more just for being male.
Marital status: Once married, Sally and Stanley combine their policies and pay $1,366, which is $388 less than what they had been paying in total a few months before as single people with separate policies
Commute: Stanley's commute goes from eight miles each way to 20, and their rate goes up to $1,378.
Driving record: Stanley gets a speeding ticket at 10 mph over the limit. He loses his good driver discount and their rate goes up to $1,964 (from base married rate of $1,366).
Vehicle: Stanley trades in his Camry for a Jaguar. Rate goes up to $1,740 from their married rate of $1,366.
Credit rating: The Jaguar payments are too much, and the couple's creditworthiness slips. Their excellent credit turns to poor, and their annual rate rises to $2,108. (See "Great credit saves you $22,815 on your car insurance premiums.")
Divorce: 52 and newly single, Sally's rate goes back to $860 a year on her Camry.
Deductibles: Looking to save money, Sally increases her deductibles on her comprehensive and collision coverage from $500 to $1,000. Her rate drops from $860 to $802. (Out of curiosity, she changes the deductibles to just $100. Her rate goes up to $1,034.)
She decides to keep her $500 deductibles but considers an even higher amount of liability coverage. Increasing her liability limits to 250/500/100 brings her annual premium to $970.
Medical coverage. Sally loses her health insurance in the divorce. Fearful of an accident, she adds medical payments coverage with a $5,000 limit -- in case she's injured in an accident that she causes herself -- and uninsured motorist bodily injury with 50/100 limits, in case she's hit by someone without insurance. Her new rate? $1,378.
Car Insurance rates vary -- so shop around
As Sally's story shows, car insurance rates change as factors in your life change. When big life changing events occur, or any of your personal circumstances change, it's important to comparison shop for the best car insurance rates.
Car insurance companies' rating systems vary greatly, so shopping around allows you to find the insurer that is pricing competitively for your particular risk factors at that point in time.
Even if nothing has changed in your life, comparing car insurance rates can save you money since the company that had the cheapest rates for you last year, may not be the cheapest for you this year. You'll never know until you check car insurance rates with multiple carriers.

Budget Cuts Force CSU to Close 2010 Spring Admissions
Quarter Campuses Directed to Close Applications for Winter
Claudia Keith or Erik Fallis (562) 951-4800
(July 9, 2009) – As part of an overall strategy to address an unprecedented budget reduction of $584 million for 2009-10, California State University campuses will not accept student applications for the 2010 spring term – with very few exceptions. In addition, quarter campuses that have been accepting admission applications for the 2010 winter term ceased accepting applications as of July 6, 2009.
"Only fully-eligible first-time freshmen, upper division undergraduate transfers or graduate and post-baccalaureate applicants who have applied for admission prior to July 6, 2009 may be offered admission to the 2010 winter term," said Jeri Echeverria, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer.
In addition, no admission applications will be accepted for the 2010 spring term at either quarter or semester campuses, for any enrollment category. CSU has typically enrolled more than 35,000 freshmen, undergraduate transfer and graduate students during the spring term.
Despite budget cuts, CSU's enrollment for the past several years has exceeded the state funding received for each student. Echeverria said that the measure is needed to bring enrollment in line with available resources. Overall, CSU is looking to reduce its enrollment by 40,000 students systemwide for 2010-2011 through a combination of enrollment tools. The decision to close spring admissions is part of the overall effort to reduce enrollment.
CSU has been working to finalize a plan to address the unprecedented budget cut, which will include measures to reduce enrollment, employee furloughs, possible student fee increases, salary and hiring freezes, and restrictions on travel and purchases. The CSU Board of Trustees will consider the overall plan to address student fees, enrollment and employee furlough plans at its July 21 meeting.

What Is IBD?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) occurs when a cat's stomach and/or intestine becomes home to an unusually high number of inflammatory cells. These cells cause a thickening of the lining of the digestive tract, which inhibits digestion and the normal absorption and passage of food.
It is important to note that although many of the symptoms may be similar, IBD is not the same as irritable bowel syndrome, which is caused by psychological stress rather than a physiological abnormality.
What Causes IBD?
The cause of inflammatory bowel disease is not known. It may involve the body's response to the presence of bacteria, a parasite or a type of dietary protein in the digestive tract. IBD might also be due to an underlying abnormality of the cat's immune system. In some cases, a combination of these factors contribute to chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.
What Are the General Symptoms of IBD?
Intermittent, chronic vomiting is the most common sign of IBD in cats. Long-term diarrhea is frequently seen as well. Symptoms often depend on whether the inflammation is affecting the cat's stomach, upper intestine or colon. If IBD is affecting the cat's stomach or upper small intestine, vomiting will likely be seen. If the disease involves the lower small intestine, watery diarrhea would be the main symptom. When disease affects the colon (or large intestine), diarrhea with blood and mucus is likely to result. Sometimes IBD can affect the entire GI tract. Weight loss and decreased appetite are common symptoms as well. In rare cases, IBD can progress to intestinal cancer.
How Is IBD Diagnosed?
If your cat is exhibiting any signs of IBD, please take him to a vet for a physical examination. The only definitive way to diagnose inflammatory bowel disease is through biopsies taken of the GI tract. This is usually performed after blood work, urinalysis, fecal examination and radiographs rule out other common problems that cause similar signs. In a cat who has IBD, the biopsy often reveals the quantity and type of inflammatory cells in the stomach or intestinal wall.
Which Cats Are Prone to IBD?
Although IBD can affect cats of any age or breed, it is most common in middle-aged and older cats and those with compromised immune systems.
How Is IBD Treated?
Initial management of IBD usually involves diet modification. This may significantly improve the animal's clinical signs. If diet alone is unsuccessful in controlling the problem, an anti-inflammatory medications or immunosuppressive drug will likely be prescribed by your veterinarian. Finding the right combination of medication and diet for each animal usually involves quite a bit of trial-and-error. It is important to be patient during this process and work closely with your veterinarian at all times. The good news is that some cats are eventually able to stop taking medicine every day and might need it only during bad episodes.
When Is It Time to See the Vet?
Please see your veterinarian if your cat has chronic diarrhea or vomiting, or experiences weight loss, decreased appetite or unusual lethargy.
