MediPro Multi Complete without Iron is a multiple vitamin/mineral formula designed to support the nutritional needs of surgical and non-surgical weight-loss patients. While it may be easy to think of individuals who weigh more as over-nourished' studies continue to show that as body mass index increases' nutritional status can suffer. Individuals with higher BMIs are at greater risk for low levels of many important vitamins and minerals' including vitamin C' vitamin D' folate' selenium and more.
Both medical and surgical weight loss can raise the risk for further reductions of nutritional status simply through the reduction of food intake. While individuals who lose weight on diets that are restricted in calories and structured in macronutrients' these dietary changes can come at the cost of reduced or altered intake of vitamins and minerals. Bariatric surgical procedures further increase the risk for nutritional challenges. Depending on the procedure there is the potential for decreased food intake' changes in food intake' maldigestion' and malabsorption. Because of these challenges and the established risks for deficiency' it is typically recommended that individuals who have had any form of bariatric surgery supplement with a daily multivitamin for life.
MediPro Multi Complete without Iron was developed to meet or exceed the most recent guidelines for bariatric post-operative nutrition. The details of this product have been developed with the specific needs of these patients. Vitamin D is provided as a lactose-free D3' which is significantly more potent than D2. Folate is provided as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) – the most bioactive form of this nutrient for optimal utilization. Vitamin B12 is provided as methlycobalamin' the tissue-ready' active form of vitamin B12 to best support healthy levels. Thorne have selected only forms of minerals known to be well-absorbed and gentle on the digestive system. Their iron-free formula creates an option for patients who may need to take iron separately for a multivitamin. Because this multi does not have iron in it' it can also be taken together with high-dose calcium products. In addition to all this' you get the Thorne Research commitment to quality and purity that our name always represents.
Product Highlights:
- Highly bioactive forms of key nutrients.
- Optimal levels of key nutrients.
- 3'000 IU of vitamin D3.
- 1'000 mcg of B12 as methylcobalamin.
- 800 mcg of folate as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).

LOTRO Official Update 10 Release Notes
Shockingly enough, there's a known issues list already posted. Pretty significant especially when there's so much in there regarding loot not hooked up, which was one of the main selling points for this update. Seems like a minor issue – and I don't understand why Turbine springs a release with no warning when there are this many "little" things un-resolved. Granted, it probably will take them time to wrap everything up but it seems like another pass of polish would've done quite a bit of good and not let the community down at all.
<End Update>
I was a little surprised that they sprung Update 10 on us yesterday, mainly because there had been so little PR for it. Pretty much the VERY light "developer diaries" were the only things leading up to this update, without too much fanfare. Maybe Turbine feels guilty that many people paid for this update almost a year ago, but oh well. There's not much that's in the notes that we haven't seen from the pushes to Bullroarer so this should mainly just be a compilation of those patches. The full notes can be found here, but I picked a few that jumped out for me:
- Mithril coins are in – don't forget to log into your alts to gather all these up
- All sorts of Critical Damage changes – hopefully this isn't too broken
- Tons of power changes – there were mixed reviews of this on Bullroarer, but expect to need to do some tweaking to adjust to the changes
- Fate is now the leading contributor to critical rating
- New 6 man (Bells of Dale), and 3 new 12 man raids (Flight of the Lonely Mountain, Fires of Smaug, Battle for Erebor)
- In Their Absence instance cluster is now scalable
- Warden's are now agility based
- All sorts of PvMP changes
- Forced emotes have a toggle now so you won't be impacted by them
- No more defeat dread
- I'm still not sure why this was removed – was it really that big of a deal for people?
- Tasks and quests can now be completed in a raid
- I don't get this one either – seems like this creates more potential farming issues like the Hytbold areas
- Trail foods can be made at ovens now – another "why did this take so long" thing
Overall it is good that they're adding more instance content, but the massive system changes are always scary since they never seem to get them right the first time.
What are folks most excited about with Update 10?

Little things like the Quests and Tasks being able to turn in while in a Raid are great. There have been many times when someone is trying to get a raid together and folks are finishing up dailys or others things and they have to drop group to turn in. Very annoying. I downloaded the update before heading out to work this morning but my biggest concern when I return home tonight and log in is going to be on my hunter. At 85 she had 11,000 something crit rating with an Agility around 2,600, my fear is her crit rating is going down to <5,000 and she will be worthless. I havent been on Bullroarer, so I don't know how burgs and hunters will deal with this.
That reasoning makes a lot of sense for raids, and I have experienced that. And they've erradicated all other "exploiting" areas so it may not be a big deal at all anymore.
As for hunters, I have no clue – I'm curious to see how my Warden feels
Not to mention the pain of loading/crashing all my alts to get the new writs consolidated. I'm running low on bag space and I know this will clear up a TON.
In beta you could deed in a raid =) ; Not gottena chance to test on live!
Also: http://www.lotro.com/en/game/articles/update-10-critical-defence-revision now has the U10 article instead of a U9 article, but I'm getting 403 forbidden errors =/
The writ thing is a big mystery to me. I have never bought any of them and never used them, so whatever they are doing with those won't affect me at all. Doc, I think your Warden will be OK, Your new tanking style will be Evade, Evade, Evade with a high Agility. I would also think moving from Might to Agility, will mean you will crit more which will make up for the damage loss due to a lower Might. What I was saying early was that Hunters and Burgs rely on crits for damage and I am afraid it is about to get nerfed. We won't run out of power, but we won't hit very hard anymore either. I'll jump on my hunter first tonight and run a skirmish or two and comment more tomorrow.
correct, you guys will be hit harder unless you stock up on fate stuff
I haven't bought writs either, but I have a ton of things they've rolled up that I've won from lotteries and never used. I'll be very curious to see what sorts of resets can be purchased via writs as I could see those being handy. Granted, not something I'd pay for, but something I'd use up my freebies on
Doc, Ok, here is my report on Hunters. My crit rating was around 11,000 before U10. After U10 is fdropped to around 9,000. However I was fortunate enough to get into 2 Bells of Dale 6-mans last night T2 and even though we had a few deaths, we didn't wipe and finsihed them both on T2. My hunter doesn't hit quite as hard, but the dps on level 85 2nd ages is a bit higher and I am having no power issues at all. I'm going to go back and change some of the power legacies and relics/setting/gems to bump up my dps now that I know this. Also the OCPR is soooo much better now for hunters or anyone that had a low Will. Power pots will not be an issue going forward.
For me in 2 runs it was mostly Runes/Relics and some purple pants. I have 6 pieces of Hytbold, so they were vendor trash. A few got some teal jewelry, I know our Champ got a teal cloak with 150 might, but no vit. The teal crafted cloaks made by tailors have a lot of Morale that I am going to be hesitant to give up, because the teal cloaks are very heavy your stat oriented without vit. hunters are squishy enough without loosing more vit. I also poped into a 12 man pug Battle for Erabor run but that one will take some work. Very tough but interesting dynamics with the flags.
Doc, btw, I know you posted pictures earlier, but now that I can see the new Raid gear close up, it is terrible cosmetically Except for the Warden gear. That's looks great. I know you have a Warden so you need to work towards getting it. The LM gear makes you look like an Italian merchent. I wanted to sell pizza once I tried it on. The hunter gear made me feel like Robin Hood, so I guess that's OK, but my hunter is a female elf.
So after a busy weekend with my kin running the Battle of Erabor over and over looking for that ever elusive Tarnished Symbol of the Elder King (no I havn't gotten one yet but several of my kinmates have) and Turbine taking down the flight to the Lonely Mountian ever so quickly, I have come to the conclusion that the Bull roarer server is a complete joke for testing new content. WE TEST NEW CONTENT, when it goes live and then Turbine finds out quickly were the holes are from all of us and nerfs or takes down the instances so they can keep us from acquiring what we want quickly. So now those of us that have been raiding all weekend and have the marks/medals/seals to at least get a couple of pieces of new gear, have to wait until we can run the Flight instance to unlock the gear. ?????? Nice job Turbine! Can you hear the sarcasm in my post?
Sadly Bullroarer has turned into a PR area for Turbine and not as much testing. Although I will give them credit for lately actually having multiple builds pushed to Bullroarer, they are actually making some changes. But it still seems like way too much is slipping through. I also don't understand their release/build schedule as it seems like they knew there were issues but chose to release before anyone expected it to. I think many would have been ok with a few more fixes if it meant slipping it out a week.
So Its now March 20, 2013. We have a hotfix today (or a nerf fix as I call it) to fix some known issues and others that are known that are still broken and not going to be fixed by this hotfix (i.e. Flight to the Lonely Mountian) No more farming of the Battle of Erebor at T1 to get a First Age Symbol, much like the nerf of farming the first boss of BG a few months back to get a 2nd age symbol. Unless you are in a true raiding kin that can do 2 of the 3 raids on T2, you are stuck with your 2nd ages until the next update. People on my server keep saying "but I can see 1st age symbols at the skirmish camp?" However I don't think you can trade in your seals for those until you finish T1 on all 3 raids. With one raid being down, that's not going to happen. The reason I started this post with the date, is because it has now been almost 7 full months since RoR was suppose to be released (early Sept 2012 was our original date) and we STILL DON'T HAVE A COMPLETE RELEASE. Really unbelievable to me. I think my time with LOTRO will slow down drastically now. I feel like I could stop playing for 6 months and come back next Fall, and really not miss too much. A real shame for a game I love, but I have 4 toons with maxed 2nd ages, and not much reason to log on until the full release is available to us all.
I can totally see where you're coming from as I've pretty much done the same thing, RL prevents me from really grouping so there's really not much for me to do in game these days. I am shocked it has taken this long to get things out, but I think even more shocking is the constant "farm" nerf. This behavior isn't new, Turbine should know this is coming and yet they constantly do it. Or they should test things more realistically and be better prepared for what's going to happen.
I'll probably come back for a bit to do the Update 11 content but that will be a key point for me, especially when they can't keep up promises for things like the allotment of VIP turbine points.

Dan Monteroso poured in a game-high 40 points and singlehandedly scored nine points in a run to snap a 45-45 tie en route to a 67-58 win over the game Warriors at Ohio University Eastern on Thursday night.
Dan Monteroso is worthy of being the Eastern District Division II Player of the Year.
The St. Clairsville High School senior's performance against Carrollton for the Division II district championship was proof positive.
Monteroso poured in a game-high 40 points and singlehandedly scored nine points in a run to snap a45-45 tie en route to a 67-58 win over the game Warriors at Ohio University Eastern on Thursday night.
The Red Devils improved to 22-2 on the season and will play New Philadelphia in the regional semifinals at Ohio University in Athens on Thursday at 6:15 p.m.
St. Clairsville, making its second consecutive trip to the regional, defeated theQuakers in last year's final in Athens.
Carrollton, which got 22 points and 18 rebounds from bruising senior Stephen Ericksen before he fouled out late in the game, ended up with a 16-9 record.
Carrollton head coach Matt Voll said Monteroso was clearly the difference in the outcome.
"No. 5 is a heck of a player," said Voll. "We ran into a buzzsaw. You have to tip your hat to what's he's done."
Monteroso, averaging 27 points per game this season, was coming off a 45-point effort against Steubenville. All of his points Thursday came after a scoreless first quarter.
Voll said he couldn't be any prouder of Warriors, who were playing in the district title game for the fifth time in the past six seasons.
"I'm very proud of our seniors for what they've accomplished and everything they put forth," said Voll, whose team is 2-3 in district finals. "They were not going to come down here and lay down. That was not going to happen."
With the contest tied at 45-45 early in the fourth quarter, the 6-foot-2 Monteroso literally took the over the game.
He blocked an Ericksen shot deep in the paint, went coast-to-coast and completed a three-point play to put the Red Devils up for good at 48-45.
After a Carrollton miss, he was at it again as he drained a 3-pointer and was fouled in the process.
He made the free throw and moments later put in a layup to give St. Clairsville a 54-45 lead with just over five minutes to play.
"He took over," said St. Clairsville head coach Kim Clifford. "He was on 9-0 run himself. That was a huge turning point in the game."
Carrollton closed to within five, but Monteroso saved his best for last as he scooped up a loose ball at midcourt and threw down a thunderous dunk to send the Red Devils' fans into a frenzy under the five-minute mark.
"We did what we had to do in the second half," said Monteroso matter of factly. "We played horrible at the start. We picked up in the second quarter and really picked up in the third quarter."
Page 2 of 2 - The Warriors remained within striking distance, but could never get back to even. Carrollton trailed 60-57 after an Ericksen basket with 1:06 left, but the 6-foot-4, 280-pounder fouled out moments later, and the Red Devils canned three throws down the stretch to seal the win.
Carrollton came out firing on all cylinders as Zade Deitz scored the first nine points of the game thanks to three 3-pointers. He finished with 14 points, while Andrew Collins added eight.
Ericksen got into the act with five points as Carrollton took a 16-6 lead after the first quarter.
St. Clairsville was held to 2-of-11 shooting from the start, while turning the ball over four times.
Carrollton led 24-12 with 2:50 left in the half before the Red Devils went on a 5-2 mini-run to close to within 26-17 at the intermission.
It was a shootout in the third quarter.
Carrollton made 7 of 10 field goals, but St. Clairsville sank 10 of 12 shots, five coming from 3-point range, to cut the Warriors' lead to 43-42 going to the fourth quarter.
Clifford said he was equally proud of the way his team battled back from a 9-0 deficit to start.
"We kept battling and battling," said Clifford. "You have to give Carrollton all the credit in the world. Every time we made a run they countered."
Now is back to the Convocation Center for a rematch with the Quakers.
"They're (the Quakers) like Carrollton," said Clifford. "They have everybody back. It's going to be a game of who can control tempo."

The condition known as tinnitus can be incredibly frustrating. The reasons for tinnitus issues are widely varied. Though time consuming, it is very important to figure out exactly what causes your tinnitus. Unfortunately, you can't always rid yourself of it completely. That said, there are treatments which can make living with tinnitus bearable. The tips in this article will help you to deal with it.
Try to recall whether or not you began taking prescribed drugs around the same time that your tinnitus symptoms began. Several drugs may cause tinnitus, and you may be able to alleviate, or stop altogether, your suffering when you cease taking these medications. Ask your doctor about taking a one-week holiday from taking each drug to see if it has any effect on your tinnitus.
Check into getting yourself a hearing aid. If an ear issue is causing your tinnitus, then a hearing aid could prove useful in reducing the stress your ears are undergoing. Hearing aids can help you experience normal life by enhancing outside sounds.
There's a possibility that you already have a physician, ENT specialist and audiologist, but don't forget that your primary caregiver is you! Only you know exactly how you feel, what you experience every day, and how successful the therapies are. It is crucial that you think of yourself as an equal partner with your physicians; that way, you are sure to get the perfect care for you.
When trying to get rid of tinnitus, think about the stress levels in your life. Tinnitus is occasionally psychogenic. Take a few simple steps to organize your schedule and plan ahead, so that you experience a less stressful life. Learn techniques for deep relaxation, and employ them as daily habits until you do them without thinking.
If tinnitus is something that has started afflicting you, then a sound initial step is having a physician or nurse clean your ears out. Excessive wax in the ear is a major contributor to worsening tinnitus and the using a Q-tip like swab can cause potential harm to your ear drum.
Talk with your doctor about all of the medications you're currently taking, and see if they may be worsening your tinnitus. Getting off the medications or just switching them with different ones could be the result you are looking for!
Visit a counselor who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. Therapy helps you to focus on other things besides your tinnitus. Therapy is an occasion to talk about your frustrations and anger related to your tinnitus. This will allow you to better cope with it. If you allow tinnitus to control you, it is going to be hard to be happy.
Consult your dentist for help with tinnitus. Perhaps you have a problem with your teeth, jaw or skull. When you go to your doctor, mention your tinnitus. Perhaps they have helpful advice. If you find that your tinnitus is due to a physical or medical problem, then get that problem fixed.
Each evening, write down problems that you had that day and try and come up with solutions to them. This will help you sleep. If you let your worries gnaw on you while you try to fall asleep, your tinnitus symptoms are more likely to flare up, sleep will be harder to fall into, and you will likely awaken tired and listless.
Living With Tinnitus
To help with living with tinnitus, make sure you don't suffer alone. Tell family and friends about the condition and its effect on you. As an example, explain what it is like to try to sleep with the discomforting sounds ringing in your ears. You won't feel as alone if you do this, plus, it can make your loved ones understand.
Tinnitus is something that can affect a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons. It can also cause a person quite a bit of discomfort. Fortunately, tinnitus is a treatable affliction. There are several methods you can employ with varying degrees of effectiveness. Follow the advice in this article if you need help dealing with tinnitus.

The Union design is perfected. They've profiled it so low there's no room for error. It's superior in hold and ratcheting. And the release is easy when you apply thumb pressure on the top and lift with the index finger simultaneously.
Your right, but only if a person knows specifically to do that. The binding instructions don't have anything about it, and when I first got them I was thinking
how the balls do I release this?
Of course a second later I realized the easiest way to do it, but there are some people who lack common sense. I've seen several guys in the lift lines who bitch about it but when they try to take off the toe strap, they just try to do it only using their index finger. I have to explain to them to also use their thumb, then they stop bitching about it.
They could release it like that if Union had release levers on their toe ratchets but because of the look, I assume, they don't. This is the only reason I could think of for this- there's definitely enough room to have a lever like there is on the ankle ratchet. I think this is a stupid excuse, if that is the reason. Sacrificing functionality for a better looking product was a mistake here.

With the recent reports of guns on the campuses of Central Connecticut State University, Yale University and the University of New Haven, along with the approaching anniversary of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, I thought it appropriate to update you on the programs we have in place to help ensure the safety of everyone on campus.
It's important to note that in the most recent incident of an armed person on or near the University of New Haven Campus, a private citizen saw a person with a rifle near a vehicle and immediately called 911. This swift response exemplifies the importance of the national message "if you see something, say something." The ongoing investigation of the incident will determine the facts, but it is important to emphasize that calling 911 if you observe anything suspicious can make a big difference—as it apparently did in this case.
Sacred Heart University has an emergency preparedness program that is designed to prepare for, respond to and recover from hazards or threats. We have an experienced Emergency Management Team that meets regularly and includes cross-representation from throughout the University. We also participate with the Region One Connecticut Department of Emergency Management & Homeland Security.
The team has put together a comprehensive emergency management plan to prepare the University to respond to a wide range of potential emergencies. In recent years, we have activated the plan during times of severe weather such as Hurricanes Irene and Sandy and Winter Storm Nemo. We regularly test the plan through emergency exercises, practicing responses to scenarios including severe weather, pandemic disease, and evacuation of sporting events or active shooter on campus. Our Emergency Management Brochure, which is available on the Public Safety page of the SHU website, thoroughly explains the plan.
The emergency management plan supplements ongoing emergency measures that are always in place, such as:
- An emergency alert system (EAS), which includes text, voice and e-mail alert capabilities and notices on the SHU home page to quickly alert the community in an emergency
- An emergency management page (under Public Safety on the website) that contains our emergency plan, Student Emergency Guide, incident-specific guides and more
- An information update number, 203-365-7669 or x7669, that can be called during unplanned closures, for information updates. This includes delayed openings or early closures due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances
- The ability to disseminate updates through social media (http://www.twitter.com/sacredheartuniv and http://www.facebook.com/sacredheartuniversity)
- Safety and preparedness training opportunities such as EMT training and training to participate in the Emergency Medical Response Corps
- A Behavioral Intervention and Response Team that includes representatives from across the community, such as the Dean of Students, Wellness Center, Residential Life, Public Safety, Academic Deans and Campus Ministry who confidentially evaluate cases of troubled students
- The Silent Witness Program that encourages community members, who wish to remain anonymous for any number of reasons, to report any behavioral-related issues or concerns they may have about anyone in the community using an online form on the Public Safety page of the SHU website
- Resources are also available to the SHU community at any time through:
- Campus Ministry at 203-371-7840
- Counseling Center at 203-371-7955
- Dean of Students at 203-371-7916
- Public Safety at 203-371-7955
- Residential Life at 203-416-3417
The University will continue to conduct safety and preparedness sessions at orientations, staff meetings and other meetings, as appropriate, to ensure continued awareness and preparedness. Please call Public Safety if you would like to schedule a meeting for training or discussion for your department or organization.
The safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors are always our top priority. I welcome you to contact me anytime with any suggestions or concerns.

Tonight's recap includes Tottenham's second win in as many tries (a victory that looked quite similar to last week's win for Spurs) and Cardiff City's first win in England's top flight since 1962. Yes, 1962.
Juninho hoping Willian breaks his Champions League free-kick record
Willian has scored six goals for Chelsea this season, with all six coming from free kicks.
Four of those have been scored in the Champions League, as the Brazilian has tied the record for the most free-kick goals in a single UCL campaign.
[ MORE: Premier League roundup ]
Willian is tied with his fellow Brazilian Juninho, known as one of the deadliest set-piece takers of all-time, who scored four times for Lyon during the 2005-06 campaign.
When asked about the possibility of his record being broken, Juninho was glad it would be by another Brazilian player, and said Willian will likely surpass him in the coming matches.
It's good it's a Brazilian, and from this new generation of good players we have.
It is very gratifying for me because when I scored these four goals, no one said anything.
I'm being remembered by what Willian has achieved, and I think he has everything to beat the record. The Champions League has barely reached half way and Chelsea still have a few more games to play.
Willian has converted 6 of 12 free kicks this season, scoring at an unheard-of 50-percent clip. All of his goals have come from almost the exact same spot on the pitch, about 20-25 yards out at the corner of the box to the keepers right.
[ WATCH: Jamie Vardy scores in record 11th straight Premier League match ]
Chelsea's next Champions League match is on December 9 at Stamford Bridge against Porto. The Blues need a draw to advance into the knockout round.
West Brom's Jonas Olsson backs Zlatan for Premier League move
With his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expiring in the summer, where Zlatan will go next is one of the biggest mysteries in football.
Having already played in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and France, the Premier League would be a logical next step in Zlatan's career.
[ MORE: Aguero injury update ]
However, at 34-years-old, Zlatan himself has said it is "too late" for him to play in England, adding more mystery to where he will end up.
Despite what Zlatan says, his teammate on the Sweden national team Jonas Olsson believes the PSG striker is more than capable of playing in the Premier League.
Olsson, who has made nearly 400 appearances for West Bromwich Albion over the past eight seasons, said Zlatan's elite talent would be fit for England's top flight.
He's still at the top of his game. He is the strongest player I have faced. I really hope he comes.
Zlatan on his day is the most talented footballer in the game. He has played under Mourinho before and the only place where he's not 100% appreciated is in the UK.
I think he can play for any team in this league – he is still that good.
Even at 34, Zlatan has proven he is still one of the best strikers in the world. He recently became Paris Saint-Germain's all-time leading scorer, and has scored at least 30 goals in each of the past four seasons.
[ VIDEO: Jamie Vardy speaks after scoring in 11 straight Premier League matches ]
The Premier League certainly has the money to entice Zlatan, and it is the biggest league in the world that he hasn't conquered yet. Expect his name to be linked with a move to every major club in Europe for the rest of the year, as we'll just have to wait until June and see what he decides.
Three questions ahead of Sunday's MLS Conference Finals
There are only two matches remaining before MLS Cup, with both conference's top seeds in need of a big result.
FC Dallas lost to the Portland Timbers 3-1 in the first leg out West, while the New York Red Bulls fell 2-0 to Columbus Crew SC in the East.
[ FOLLOW: All of PST's MLS coverage ]
Leg 2 of the Conference Finals will both be played on Sunday, as we will know the MLS Cup finalists by the end of the night.
WEST: FC Dallas vs. Portland Timbers — 5 p.m. ET
EAST: New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew SC — 7:30 p.m. ET
With each home-side needing to overcome a two-goal deficit, here's what to look out for in the Conference Finals.
Will FC Dallas capitalize on home-field advantage?
Despite being down 3-1 on aggregate, FC Dallas will be looking forward to Sunday's second leg. Dallas finished the season 13-2-2 at Toyota Stadium, the best home record in MLS. After scoring a crucial away goal in Portland, a 2-0 win for Dallas will see the side advance to the final. Their 33 goals scored at home was the second-best mark in the Western Conference, as Oscar Pareja's men will feel confident despite the aggregate.
[ VIDEO: USMNT's Fabian Johnson scores twice for Monchengladbach ]
Is Norberto Paparatto ready to replace Liam Ridgewell?
Norberto Paparatto has played just six matches for Portland this season, but it looks like he'll be starting on Sunday. Liam Ridgewell, who started all 32 matches at center-back, injured his calf in the first leg and manager Caleb Porter said Paparatto will "most likely" be starting, as Ridgewell was seen warming up separately from the rest of the team in training. With FC Dallas in need of goals, Paparatto will have his hands full on defense, especially with the likes of Fabian Castillo and Mauro Diaz bombing forward.
Can Luis Robles keep a clean sheet for RBNY?
The Red Bulls' Luis Robles was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year this season, and he's going to need to play like that on Sunday. After losing 2-0 in the first leg without scoring an away goal, New York needs a 2-0 win themselves just to force extra-time. If Columbus scores at Red Bull Arena, New York needs to score four goals to advance. While it will have to be a collective team effort to keep the Crew off the scoresheet, Robles will have to make some big saves in goal to keep his side in it.
La Liga roundup: Barcelona win big in another dominant performance
Catch up on all of Saturday's La Liga action, as the trio of Messi-Suarez-Neymar continues to terrorize defenses.
Barcelona 4-0 Real Sociedad
In case you haven't heard, Barcelona is scary good. Coming off of brilliant 4-0 and 6-1 wins over Real Madrid and Roma respectively, the Catalans trounced Real Sociedad at Camp Nou. It was the usual suspects once again, as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar (x2) scored the goals in another masterful performance. The M-S-N trio has accounted for 30 of Barcelona's 33 goals in La Liga this season.
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Espanyol
While the boys from Barcelona may be getting all the headlines, Antoine Griezmann has been having a great season for Atletico Madrid. The French international scored the game-winner in Atletico's 1-0 win over Espanyol, his tenth in all competitions this season. The good news is that Atleti sit second on the table with a five-point lead over Real Madrid in third, while the bad news is that midfielder Tiago broke his leg in the match.
[ WATCH: Everton, Bournemouth trade late goals in stoppage-time thriller ]
Malaga 2-2 Granada
In a battle of teams fighting for La Liga survival, Granada came from behind to steal a draw at Malaga. The home-side was leading 2-0 until Granada tallied twice in the final ten minutes to take a huge point for the club. Malaga remains glued to the bottom of the table, while Granada is currently out of the drop zone on goal differential.

The Frankfort Audubon Chapter and Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary invite everyone to participate in the 13th annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) on February 12 " 15th. The GBBC is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent and in Hawaii.
Each checklist submitted by these "citizen scientists" helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how the birds are doing"and how to protect them and the environment we share. Last year, participants turned in more than 93,600 checklists online, creating the continent's largest instantaneous snapshot of bird populations ever recorded.
Anyone can take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, from novice bird watchers to experts. Participants count birds for as little as 15 minutes (or as long as they wish) on one or more days of the event and report their sightings online at www.birdcount.org.
Bird populations are always shifting and changing. For example, 2009 GBBC data highlighted a huge southern invasion of Pine Siskins across much of the eastern United States. Participants counted 279,469 Pine Siskins on 18,528 checklists, as compared to the previous high of 38,977 birds on 4,069 checklists in 2005. Failure of seed crops farther north caused the siskins to move south to find their favorite food.
On the www.birdcount.org website, participants can explore real-time maps and charts that show what others are reporting during the count. The site has tips to help identify birds and special materials for educators. Participants may also enter the GBBC photo contest by uploading images taken during the count. Many images will be featured in the GBBC website's photo gallery. All participants are entered in a drawing for prizes that include bird feeders, binoculars, books, CDs, and many other great birding products.
For more information about the GBBC, visit www.birdcount.org. Or contact the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at (800) 843-2473 or (outside the U.S., call (607) 254-2473) or GBBC at Cornell University, or Audubon at Citizen Science at the Audubon Society or (202) 861-2242 ext 3050. The Great Backyard Bird Count is made possible, in part, by generous support from Wild Birds Unlimited.
For information on local birding info and activities, contact Scott Hankla at 502-223-4179 or Tim Williams at 859-873-5711.

Adorable girls' clothing from FabKids
There's nothing more frustrating than heading out to the mall to shop for your daughter, only to find that absolutely nothing fits her personality. Whether it's frills and you have a tomboy or boho and you have a preppy child, if little ones don't feel comfortable in the design, then they aren't going to wear any of it. The new monthly subscription-style girls' clothing site FabKids may be your answer at times like these. When registering, you're asked a series of questions about your child and her style. Using that information, the site then populates a showroom of looks she's sure to love. The price is right: $49 for the entire ensemble (minus the shoes). You also have the option of skipping the month, if nothing interests you or your daughter. Oh, and it has some celebrity roots…new mom and actress Christina Applegate serves as a creative partner.

Vatican City - Anti-government rioting has now hit Vatican City, following uprisings in Yemen, Algeria and Egypt. Dozens of rioters have taken to the streets of this tiny country, demanding reforms from Pope Benedict XVI. More unrest is expected today.
Protesters are annoyed about the pope's new red socks, and they want the world to know.
"The pope should wear green socks, not red socks!" said dissident leader Father Gill Schmuck. "What sort of pontiff wears red socks! Maybe the Holy Father is a secret Communist!" said the 92-year old rebel leader.
Vatican sources say almost 28 rioters swarmed through St. Peter's Square last night. The rioters carried green socks and some even yelled bad words. A few pigeons were scared from their nests, but no other damage was reported. The average age of the 'rioters' was 95.
Pope Benedict XVI says that the rioters are all possessed by the devil, and he will wear whatever colour socks he wants. He has ordered the Swiss Guard to shoot the protesters with holy water pistols if they dare to return.

I don't fault myself too much for selling early, because at this point the shares seem to be trading at an irrational premium. It is difficult to know when to sell with this fund because obviously the premium can keep going higher, but there is no fundamental reason for BIF to trade at a premium at all.
During 2005 and early 2006 the fund persistently traded at a double-digit discount, and the only change in BIF since then is that the fund adopted a $0.10 per month distribution policy. Apparently investors like the new managed distribution policy, even though according to press releases, the distributions consist of mostly a return of capital. I may be old fashioned, but if I owned a fund that was trading at a premium, I would want its distributions to consist of actual dividends and capital gains, rather than a return of capital. If a fund was trading at a discount I would be somewhat less concerned about this.
Also, speaking of managed distribution policies, here is a letter (.pdf) on the topic that was recently sent from the SEC to BIF's chairman.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Tenth-ranked Florida is doing
everything it can to prepare for its first road trip of the season.
The Gators are blarring "Rocky Top" through oversized speakers
in practice and pumping in deafening crowd noise. Quarterback John
Brantley is working on hand signals to and from the sideline.
Center Mike Pouncey is focusing on silent cadence.
Still, coach Urban Meyer is concerned. He has a quarterback
making his first road start, several others who have never played
in front of 100,000-plus fans and four new assistants who aren't
sure what to expect in the Southeastern Conference.
Throw in the fact that eight of Meyer's 10 losses at Florida
have come away from The Swamp, and the coach might have reason to

You can shape up your body well and improve your look if you focuss on diet and nutrition. Avoid fatty foods like cookies, chips, candy, chocolate, cake, fast food and fried food. However, not all fat is bad for you. You can get healthy fat from fish, nuts and some oils such as flax seed oil. In order to gain good muscles you must go ahead with strength training and nutrition simultaneously. While strength training provides you with the stimulus for muscle growth - you can get raw materials for the new muscle from diet. There are certain nutritional foods which you can maximize muscle and minimize fat.
Take at least 1 gram protein per pound of body weight each day. For example, if you weight 150 pounds, your body will require at least 150 grams of protein every day.
Nutritional supplements are taken to boost an existing nutritional program. Your sport supplement schedule can make your performance effective with the perfect combination of nutrients and nutrition programme. You must take appropriate amounts of nutrition supplements at appropriate times so as to ensure their effective functioning.
Eat a small meal once in every three hours in order to put your muscles in a fat burning mode. Your muscles would get a steady but not excessive supply of nutrients through eating of small meal in every three hours. This will also boost your energy levels and resist your hunger which often causes cheating with fat-building, between meal snacks. You can follow the example schedule given below.
Take at least 3 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight every day. Pasta, rice, oatmeal, potatoes and yams and fibrous veggies such as broccoli and asparagus are some of the complete sources of carbohydrates.
It is good idea to limit fat intake but it is not good to think of eliminating good fat because fat is involved in the production of many hormones including testosterone besides giving a healthy look to skin and hair. It is therefore difficult to build muscle mass through an extremely low fat diet. Your body will require certain amount of fat for processing of fat metabolism. Fat also brings down the glycemic index of many high carb foods. It is clear that eating too little fat makes it difficult to burn unwanted fat.
Putting yourself on a starvation diet as it will no way serve your purpose. You must take sufficient amount of good foods in order to maintain lean muscle mass instead of overindulging to the point of increasing fat storage. You can note down the calorie content and macro nutrient breakdown (grams of protein, carbohydrates, and fat) of your food, on a notebook to keep yourself more focussed on your goal.
Your should keep a diet ratio of 50 to 55% carbohydrates, 25 to 30% protein and 15 to 20% fat.
Drink at least 2 gallons a day during and in between your meals. Muscle comprises 70 percent water. A high protein diet and intense exercise will require more water. Water helps to carry vitamins, minerals, and supplements and even foods throughout you body. The intake of water less than that required in the body will lead to decrease in muscle fullness and will result in a toxic build-up of ammonia, urea, and other waste products.
Increase the amount of calories in a gradual manner over a period seven to ten days in order to boost your caloric intake. By doing so you will be using extra calories like fuel instead of storing it as fat.
Don't take white bread and flower anymore. Rather take whole-wheat bread and cook with whole-wheat flower to extract more nutrients from them. Whole also stick with you for a longer period.

Aki Chambers has picked right back up where he left off a season ago.
The UC Merced men's basketball star once again ranks among the nation's best, averaging 20.4 points per game.
Chambers leads the California Pacific Conference in scoring for the second straight year and ranks 12th in NAIA Division 2. His 449 total points rank him sixth.
Chambers is on virtually the same pace he set last season, where he averaged 20 points per game in 22 contests.
He has nine more points than he did at the same time a year ago, but hasn't shot the 3 as well.
The scary thing for the rest of the Cal Pac is all signs point to Chambers finishing the season stronger than he's started.
The senior has turned in three of his top four scoring performances -- including a career-high 36-point outburst against La Sierra -- in the Golden Bobcats' Past 10 games.
He's averaged 23.4 points per game during the span and is shooting 51 percent from the field.
UC Merced has ridden his hot hand to a 3-1 Cal Pac record and a second-place spot in the standings.
Spring in their step
The spring sports season gets under way at Merced College this week with the softball team traveling to San Mateo for a doubleheader Saturday.
The Blue Devil baseball team -- and new head coach Nate Devine -- will open the season at home Feb. 2 with a two-game series against defending state champion Cosumnes River.
The MC swim teams will begin their pursuit of a sixth straight Bay Valley Conference title in February.
Bobcats giving back
As part of an effort to get his team involved in community service, UC Merced men's basketball coach John Sykes was out with his squad at Stephen Leonard Park on Monday morning.
The Bobcats did their best to brighten up the park by painting a building and a couple of bathrooms.
"It's the first of many little projects we hope to be a part of," Sykes said. "Some of the guys had never painted before and some had, but I think everyone had a good time giving back.
"It's good for the kids to connect with the community like this and it's good for the program."

In addition to the two stellar KDHX Twangfest day parties, I was fortunate to take in some other excellent shows. While it's nearly impossible to replay the week in a few paragraphs, here are a few highlights from SXSW 2013.
The American Songwriter Magazine party featured Deer Tick's John McCauley performing a stunning solo set and Jonny Fritz shedding his "Jonny Corndawg" moniker and playing a batch of songs that were as solid as any I heard all week.
U.K. ska legends the Specials headlined the Vans Showcase and put on a show filled with socially conscious messages that stirred the crowd into an absolute frenzy -- by far one of the wildest sets I've ever witnessed.
Akron, Ohio trio, Shivering Timbers, played a house show to a small group of people, but performing as if they were on stage at a sold-out arena.
At Willie Nelson's ranch outside Austin, the Heartbreaker Banquet featured riveting performances by Jim James -- whose set was part psychedelic and part revival -- Shovels and Rope -- a duo that performed with a beautiful, reckless abandon -- and Michael Kiwanuka, who let his songcraft speak and silence the few hundred folks watching in awe.
On a rooftop, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down did a live interview for Sony and them launched into a 30-minute set that wailed out over Austin's Sixth Street.
St. Louis artists So Many Dynamos, Née, Beth Bombara, Cree Rider Family Band and Pretty Little Empire each played sets that stood up solidly to any other band in Austin -- a great reminder of how great the music is right here in our own city.

Last Easter my parents took in a stray dog. In the past year, I've spoken at length about how this canine has ingratiated herself into their hearts. Perhaps you've heard me documenting the strange story of their relationship but I can sum it up for you in one telling commentary: Mama and Papa call her, Lady Lucy. I call her the Holy Ghost Dog because only God Himself could've orchestrated the relationship between my mother and this stray!
As I mentioned, last Easter was Lady's first family holiday and she enjoyed it immensely. Had her tail wagged any faster she might have levitated. From the onset, it was clear to anyone watching that Lady Lucy was doing everything within her little Dachshund heart to fit in. She seemed to take note of Mama's pet peeves from the onset, (forgive the bad pun.) For instance, as soon as Lady heard that Mama didn't like Papa's growing herd of cats hanging out on the patio that dog set out to make it a cat free zone. I'm sure you're thinking it's just in her DNA and all but that was merely the opening move in Lady Lucy's popularity campaign. Nothing has been too much to ask of that dog, not baths, not bows, not even being carried around the neck by well-meaning yard young-uns. Indeed, Lady has been willing to endure all forms of humiliation, including riding in a flimsy wicker basket tied to the handlebars of a great-grandchild's bike.
That poor puppy has me thinking about the lengths we humans will go to and the things we'll put up with, all in the name of fitting in or belonging. Our human hearts crave acceptance and we'll perform for it just like Lady Lucy. If we don't know better, we'll try to perform our way into God's good graces. And sometimes, even once we do know better, we'll still try to "approach" the throne on our own merits.
This weekend, as we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ and the ultimate price he paid for us to be fully accepted and welcomed into the family of God, may we be ever mindful not to frustrate the unfathomable grace offered to us through the cross. It is the most familiar of verses, and one that many of us learned as little kids but if we'll let them, these words will speak fresh balm to our needy hearts. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life," John 3.16. As Lady Lucy might say, "That is some tail wagging good news!"

The "New" Apple
Page 2 of 4
Unlike most of its hardware and software rivals, Apple has eagerly used open standards and open-source software to develop–ironically enough–a system that combines proprietary hardware with proprietary software. Apple's iCal was one of the first widely available desktop calendar programs to adopt the iCalendar standard; Apple embraced iCalendar so early that many people mistakenly thought Apple had invented it. Instead of creating proprietary e-mail protocols to connect Apple Mail with the company's paid online service, Apple adopted the industry-standard IMAP protocol. The Mac OS ships with the Apache Web server, the Postfix mail server, and the OpenLDAP directory server. All this borrowing is completely legal, and the result is that Apple is able to direct more of its R&D dollars to developing distinguishing technology, since it doesn't have to spend as much on the "plumbing" of today's information infrastructure. That directly benefits customers by lowering Apple's cost of innovation. It also benefits Apple's third-party developers by making Macintosh development not all that different from Linux development, which is generally regarded as a lot easier than developing software for Microsoft Windows.
Which brings us to Mac OS X version 10.5, or "Leopard," one of the centerpieces of the "new Apple." According to the company, Leopard will be unveiled "sometime this spring." For now, only developers and perhaps a few lucky reviewers have played with it–and both are bound by the most blood-curdling of nondisclosure agreements not to reveal anything about it. But here's what we can say about the OS, based on the company's public announcements and on those products and services that will be part of it but are already in use.
Leopard is Apple's sixth major OS X release in six years. Maintaining that pace is quite an accomplishment, especially considering that Microsoft didn't release a significant upgrade to its operating system between the launch of Windows XP in 2001 and the release of Vista this year. This contrast reveals more about business strategy than about technical acumen: what Apple has done is move its loyal customers from a software purchase model to a software subscription model. Each of Apple's new releases has offered significant improvements to part–but not all–of the Macintosh system, and each has cost $129.
That's a lot of money for an incremental release, but the lack of license management means that payment is based largely on the honor system. (Compare that with Windows, where activation codes accompany every operating system CD-ROM.) This may lose some sales, but the result is that few Apple customers hate the company the way so many Windows customers hate Microsoft. Apple even sells a "Family Pack" version of its operating system, which lets diehard Mac fans spend an extra $70 for the legal right to install the OS on "up to five" computers in their homes. I bought one last year: it contained exactly the same DVDs that the single-user edition did. The difference is in the buyer's heart.

SARS-linked virus may have spread between people
Eds: APNewsNow.
LONDON (AP) - British officials say a mysterious virus related to SARS may have spread between humans, as they confirmed the 11th case worldwide of the new coronavirus in a patient who they say probably caught it from a family member.
The new virus was first identified last year in the Middle East and the 10 people who have previously been infected had all traveled there. According to Britain's Health Protection Agency, the latest patient is a U.K. resident with no recent travel to the Middle East but who had close personal contact with an earlier case. The patient is in intensive care at a Birmingham hospital.
The agency said this case was "strong evidence" for human-to-human transmission but insisted the risk to the general public was still considered very low.

Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature. It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air. Liquid nitrogen is a colourless clear liquid with density of 0.807 g/mL at its boiling point and a dielectric constant of 1.4.[1] Liquid nitrogen is often referred to by the abbreviation, LN2 or "LIN" or "LN" and has the UN number 1977.
At atmospheric pressure, liquid nitrogen boils at -1960NaN0 and is a cryogenic fluid which can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue, which may lead to frostbite. When appropriately insulated from ambient heat, liquid nitrogen can be stored and transported, for example in vacuum flasks. Here, the very low temperature is held constant at 77 K by slow boiling of the liquid, resulting in the evolution of nitrogen gas. Depending on the size and design, the holding time of vacuum flasks ranges from a few hours to a few weeks.
Liquid nitrogen can easily be converted to the solid by placing it in a vacuum chamber pumped by a rotary vacuum pump.[2] Liquid nitrogen freezes at 63K. Despite its reputation, liquid nitrogen's efficiency as a coolant is limited by the fact that it boils immediately on contact with a warmer object, enveloping the object in insulating nitrogen gas. This effect, known as the Leidenfrost effect, applies to any liquid in contact with an object significantly hotter than its boiling point. More rapid cooling may be obtained by plunging an object into a slush of liquid and solid nitrogen than into liquid nitrogen alone.
Nitrogen was first liquefied at the Jagiellonian University on 15 April 1883 by Polish physicists, Zygmunt Wróblewski and Karol Olszewski.[3]
Liquid nitrogen is a compact and readily transported source of nitrogen gas without pressurization. Further, its ability to maintain temperatures far below the freezing point of water makes it extremely useful in a wide range of applications, primarily as an open-cycle refrigerant, including:
Since the liquid to gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20C, a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is rapidly vaporized. In an incident in 2006 at Texas A&M University, the pressure-relief devices of a tank of liquid nitrogen were malfunctioning and later sealed. As a result of the subsequent pressure buildup, the tank failed catastrophically and exploded. The force of the explosion was sufficient to propel the tank through the ceiling immediately above it.[6]
Because of its extremely low temperature, careless handling of liquid nitrogen may result in cold burns.
As liquid nitrogen evaporates it will reduce the oxygen concentration in the air and might act as an asphyxiant, especially in confined spaces. Nitrogen is odorless, colorless and tasteless, and may produce asphyxia without any sensation or prior warning.[7] A laboratory assistant died in Scotland in 1999, apparently from asphyxiation caused by liquid nitrogen spilled in a basement storage room.[8]
Oxygen sensors are sometimes used as a safety precaution when working with liquid nitrogen to alert workers of gas spills into a confined space.
Vessels containing liquid nitrogen can condense oxygen from air. The liquid in such a vessel becomes increasingly enriched in oxygen (boiling point 90K) as the nitrogen evaporates, and can cause violent oxidation of organic material.
See Air separation.

UK backs Dhaka reason on climate change.
Bangladesh is very defenseless to climate change and the country needs strong advocacy on the issue in the international arena.
British high commissioner Robert Gibson said this after his first formal meeting with foreign minister Dipu Moni on Monday.
The envoy presented his credentials to president Zillur Rahman Oct 3. He also served as a deputy high commissioner in Bangladesh from 2002 to 2005.
"We discussed whether we can work more closely on this issue to protect Bangladesh's future," he said.
He said they also discussed about trade and investment relations.
The UK government has increased DFID assistance to Bangladesh by double for the next years, he said adding, "My government has set up a body to ensure transparency of the taxpayers' fund."
When asked if Bangladesh's role in Afghanistan was discussed, he replied in negative.

How to Show off Your Muscles Without It Seeming Intentional
Do you need to impress a girl or friends without seeming like a total jerk?
1Do a face-wipe. Is it a little bit hot out today? Wipe your face with your shirt to show off the abs. Make sure you have them flexed BEFORE you lift your shirt. Be careful you don't get a lot of sweat on a cotton tee-shirt or else the sweat with show across your shirt where you wiped. Don't take to long and make sure that people are watching.Ad
2Perform an arm-fold. To show off your biceps, fold your arms and push your wrists upwards a little bit.
3Pretend to stretch, yawn, or scratch the back of your head. this also shows off your biceps.
4Interlock the fingers of both arms while standing. If wearing a T-shirt or tight-fitting top, stand with interlocked fingers while facing the object of your attention. This pose shows off a combination of muscle groups in the upper body and makes you appear larger than normal.
5Put your hands in or on top of your pockets (this works best if you have jeans with pockets cut horizontally or at an angle) and push downwards, without actually pulling your pants down. This shows off your triceps.
6To show off your pecs, be sure your arms are close together and are down. This is the ideal position as they are naturally flexed. Also, be sure you don't face people directly if possible, as chest muscles look best from a slight angle.
7Pay attention to your walk. Try not to walk with bent knees. That is, when you land on your left foot, your left leg should be straight, and your right leg should just be naturally bent. Try to make this look natural and unrehearsed, because if done wrong it just looks awkward. When done right it makes your quad muscles tense just before you land on your foot, which makes it look as if your leg muscles are bulging when you walk. (This works best if you are wearing knee-length shorts, or tight pants in a thin material or light colour.)Ad

Primary Secretory Otitis Media in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
The purpose of this study is to find and develop effective and more economical diagnostic tests for otitis media in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels than the currently used CT scan, and to see if and to what extent auditory function is restored with current treatment methods.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (CKCS) seems to have a predisposition to a non-infectious otitis media (OM) marked by mucus accumulation in the middle ear, hence the descriptive diagnosis of "glue ear". One or both ears may be affected. This OM is unusual because of its lack of association with concomitant external ear infection and because of frequent accompanying neurological involvement. These neuropathies include:
- ataxia
- facial paralysis
- nystagmus
- head tilt
- hearing loss/deafness
Pain around the head and neck (with vocalization and/or guarding), scratching around the ears, external ear infection, hearing loss, or any combination of the above also occur. These presentations are due to mucus build-up in the middle ear, possibly as a result of Eustachian tube dysfunction. Upon otoscopy, the ear drum is often bulging outward due to mucus accretion behind it. PSOM seems to share many features with secretory otitis media, which is one of the most common ear problems in children. In the CKCS, PSOM can be misdiagnosed as progressive hereditary deafness or as syringohydromelia, two other disorders to which CKCS are prone. Therefore, development of a specific test or tests for PSOM, easy enough to perform in the office and affordable for the owner, will promote both appropriate treatment and accurate assessment of this problem in the breed.
Study Criteria and Course of Treatment
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels presenting with any of the above signs or combination of signs are eligible for screening. Because this is a blinded study, it is imperative that results of any previous diagnostic tests performed elsewhere NOT be revealed.
Screening (owner pays all fees): The dog is admitted for a physical and neurological exam, including comprehensive blood work, to determine if there are any metabolic or cardiovascular conditions that might preclude or complicate anesthesia. The ears are also checked for excessive exudates in the external ear canals obscuring the ear drum. If the dog qualifies as a study subject, the owner is invited to return for a second day of more extensive testing and treatment.
More specific battery of tests and treatment (hospital pays fees up to $1100). Tests include: CT scan, ultrasound of the middle ear for mucus build-up, BAER tests for hearing loss, tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing for hearing loss, pneumo-otoscopy to assess tympanic membrane compliance, and myringotomy (ear drum incision) to flush and drain the middle ear (s) if PSOM is confirmed. The CT and BAER tests are repeated after flushing the middle ear.
Although this study is complete, if you suspect your dog is suffering from PSOM, please contact Dr. Lynette Cole via cole [dot] 143 [at] osu [dot] edu for a consult.

Mad Castle Hill cyclist climbs elevation of Everest in single ride
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- July 08, 2014
TOWNSVILLE has a new King of the Hill.
Cyclist Michael Hibble can lay claim to Castle Hill after riding to the top 50 times in one massive effort — the equivalent of reaching the summit of Mt Everest.
Mr Hibble became the first person in Townsville to do so in a gruelling feat called 'Everesting'.
Mr Hibble, a barrister, didn't train for the ride and said he only decided to do it the previous Sunday.
"I didn't think I was going to finish, that's for sure," he said.
"It's good to have it done. I don't think I'll be doing it again."
Mr Hibble is now one of 101 cyclists around the world to have completed the feat, which challenges riders to be the first to continuously climb their local peaks to the equivalent elevation of Mt Everest.
He rode for 19 hours, starting at 2.30am and finishing at 9.30pm.
The 8848m height of Mt Everest was calculated to equal 50 laps of Townsville's Castle Hill.
As the first person to have tackled Castle Hill, Mr Hibble will now be officially recognised for the feat in the Everesting Hall of Fame.
Mr Hibble said his mates called him "mad" but turned up throughout the day to provide encouragement from the sidelines.
As the sun set and darkness fell, more cyclists joined Mr Hibble for his last few laps.
"From lap 30 to lap 40 my body was just aching all over," he said.
"Once you get closer, that pushes you on."
Mr Hibble said he could now tick the achievement off his bucket list.
Top Brand Cycles owner and former ironman Mike Prentice said Everesting was one of the greatest cycling challenges.
"It's hard enough doing one Castle Hill let alone 50," he said.
"It's a massive challenge. A lot of us in training might ride three or four times and that's enough.
"You can imagine riding 50 times ... it's unthinkable."
Mr Prentice said Mr Hibble's achievement may inspire other cyclists to conquer other peaks in North Queensland.
He said the pain threshold for a feat like that would be high without proper preparation.
"It's pretty hard to imagine doing something like that for 19 hours.
"You get a five-minute break every 15 minutes (when you go down) but the load on your muscles would be huge.
"Cramping would be a problem with dehydration, making sure you get fluids and hydration."

ABC Family orders Jennifer Lopez-produced TV pilot
FILE - In this Feb. 26, 2012 file photo, actress and singer Jennifer Lopez arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood, Calif. ABC Family announced Thursday, Aug. 23, 2012 that it has greenlighted a pilot titled "The Fosters," from Jennifer Lopez's production company about a diverse family headed by a lesbian couple. (AP Photo/Evan Agostini, file)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — ABC Family says it green-lighted a series pilot from Jennifer Lopez's production company about a lesbian couple and their diverse family.
ABC Family said Thursday the comedy-drama pilot, titled "The Fosters," is about two women raising a "21st century," multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids.
Lopez will be an executive producer for the hour-long project. Casting was not announced.
Her company, Nuyorican, is in development on other TV series, including "Taming Ben Taylor," a romantic comedy starring the actress-singer, and "Sweet Little 15," a Mexican girl's coming-of-age story.
Lopez, who recently exited "American Idol" as a judge, also is developing films through her company.

Earlier today, Media Matters posted an item about Newt Gingrich spreading falsehoods on the social networking website Twitter. The former Speaker, responding to an observation by his wife Callista, falsely claimed that there had been "no [oil] spill since 1969" in waters off the Santa Barbara coast in California:
In a Twitter post, Newt Gingrich falsely claimed that there have been no oil spills in the waters off Santa Barbara since 1969. In fact, there were at least two oil spills reported in or near the Santa Barbara Channel in just the last few months, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Well, it looks like Gingrich didn't like being called out for his Twittery falsehood. Steve Everley, a research assistant over at the American Enterprise Institute has a post up on Newt's American Solutions blog defending the former Speaker.
Everley suggests in his response that Media Matters misrepresented what the Associated Press reported on February 18 regarding an oil spill off of the southern California coast. Everley writes (his emphasis):
The second "oil spill" mentioned was actually light lubricant oil mixed with a soap used to clean the platforms. It was not crude oil as the MMFA report implied.
In fact, Media Matters included this very information quoting the following directly from the AP's report:
A mixture of oily lubricant and water was still leaking from an ExxonMobil platform two days after the first report of a spill off the Southern California coast, federal and state officials said Wednesday.
Moreover, in his ten paragraph response to the Media Matters item in question, Everley acknowledges that there was at least one oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, though he attempts to explain it away saying "its impact was virtually non-existent."
In other words, Newt said there had been NO oil spills since 1969 and Everley responded that there had been an oil spill in February…but that spill wasn't too significant.
Significant or not, Everley's defense only serves to undermine Newt's original tweet.
By the way, if you use Twitter, you should really be following Media Matters.

Service System Integration, Access to Services, and Housing Outcomes in a Program for Homeless Persons with Severe Mental Illness
Robert Rosenheck, Joseph Morrissey, Julie Lam, Michael Calloway, Matthew Johnsen, Howard Goldman, Frances Randolph, Margaret Blasinsky, Alan Fontana, Robert Calsyn and Gregory Teague
November 1998
This study evaluated the hypothesis that greater integration and coordination between agencies within service systems is associated with greater accessibility of services and improved client housing outcomes. As part of the Access to Community Care and Effective Services and Supports program, data were obtained on baseline client characteristics, service use, and 3-month and 12-month outcomes from 1832 clients seen at 18 sites during the first year of program operation. Data on interorganizational relationships were obtained from structured interviews with key informants from relevant organizations in each community (n = 32-82 at each site). Complete follow-up data were obtained from 1340 clients (73%). After control for baseline characteristics, service system integration was associated with superior housing outcomes at 12 months, and this relationship was mediated through greater access to housing agencies. Service system integration is related to improved access to housing services and better housing outcomes among homeless people with mental illness.

Today I came home to find out that my mother had cleaned my room. Like spotless. Nothing really there. All of my art supplies were gone from their usual places and none of my books were in short reach of my bed.
When I asked my mother about my art supplies, she said that she thought they were just old pencils and pens that I didn't need anymore. Most of them were newish and hadn't been used that much. :\
How do/did you guys deal with your parents getting all over you about cleaning your room?
I mean c'mon. It's not like they live in there.

Rashard retires
Rashard Mendenhall chose traveling and writing over playing in the NFL. This is not only his prerogative but his God-given right. How he retired and why he retired are as unique and convoluted as the 26-year-old's talent.
There was no press conference announcing his retirement. He wrote a column about why he was retiring that was published by the Huffington Post. In the world of Mendenhall, that's perfect.
He does not think as we think. He does not feel as we feel. He may, indeed, be alone as Edgar Allan Poe once penned in his masterpiece, Alone.
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Why Rashard retired can be difficult to ascertain while reading his column. Although I'm paraphrasing, Rashard didn't like being in the public eye. He wanted to minimize the risk of any long term damage to his body and brain, and he mentioned he didn't like how the game has turned into more about entertainment as opposed to traditional fundamentals.
But "the why" is nobody's business anyways. There are people questioning the authenticity of why he is walking away.
To that I ask, "Why?"
Rashard's sensibilities are not yours, not mine, and although many may not understand how a guy can walk away from millions of dollars, it really doesn't matter. But, whatever the motivation, one thing is for certain, he loves writing and traveling more than football.
Football has never been what defined Mendenhall. He would never let the game of football define who he is. But I wonder if he might discover something that I did when I retired: the game does define you more than you thought.
Or as the hair band, Cinderella, once sang: "Don't know what you got, til it's gone."
