{by Heather from The Extraordinary Ordinary}
I can't. That's what I thought.
I can't.
We pulled in the driveway over four years ago, me in the back seat with this new foreign person, aching in every way. And I thought those words. I thought, I can't.
I asked Ryan to take the baby in without me, to introduce him to the dog without the excitement of me, the dog's everything, in the picture. So I stood outside and shivered in the heat, looking around at everything being different than it had been just a few days before, all overly bright and textured from the pain pills. Standing there in my suddenly roomy maternity shirt, I shivered. Empty.
Ryan came out and said everything was going fine. The dog sniffed the baby and the baby slept. There were no big events as I had imagined.
I walked up the steps, not quickly because of the surgery, and passed through the door. I looked down at the sleeping child in the car seat. Our child. My child. In our house. My house.
I walked slow circles in our tiny living room, trying to figure out what to do. My mom and my husband said that I should take a nap, but I don't do naps. I just nodded and repeated over and over that they should get me if the baby needed to eat, and I disappeared into our room, knowing I wouldn't be able to sleep. I sat down, frozen and staring, thinking and thinking.
The baby, I thought.
Our baby.
My baby.
Our life.
My life.
Different. Changed.
It was all new and foreign and big and too much. What was ours and mine and we and us was over and done and final and past.
There was a new ours and a new us that I didn't yet know and so it scared me.
I sat on the bed and shook with fear and tears like never before. Until I was empty. And then I called for him, my husband. The we from before. I told him the truth. That I was sad and alone and hurting and scared. That this wasn't anything like the movies or the books and that I was guilty and ashamed for feeling so empty and alone. I told him that I didn't know what to think of the fact that my life would never ever again ever even once be the same again. That I was grieving that. That I was sorry. Sorry that I didn't know I would need to do that. Sorry that I wasn't prepared for it. Sorry that I felt sorry.
Then that tiny boy, that little sleeping guy opened his big blue eyes and asked to eat with screeching sounds. And I loved him deeply despite my shaking and shivering. So I sat for the first time on the bed that was once ours and mine with this new baby on top of that macaroni shaped pillow thing that everyone said I needed to have. I struggled to get him all lined up and open mouthed to eat.
I struggled. And I loved him enough to share something that was mine and ours and now his.
Tonight, over four years later, he was pounding on the door on those same steps I walked up slowly when we brought him home. After playing outside with Daddy and his brother and the dog, he was screeching and wanting me. He cried Mama! Mama! until I ran for him and opened the door. I was there like before and I asked him, what sweetie? why the fuss?
Mama, I needed you. My hands are cold.
So I pulled off his mittens and I covered his hands with my own warm ones. Because they are mine and they are his and they are ours.
And I can.

Once an aristocratic hunting lodge (King Alfonso XIII came here), this secluded hotel and restaurant was sold to its staff in 1984 for the symbolic sum of 1 peseta and is a world apart from the glamour of Marbella, just 30 minutes' drive away. The hunting theme prevails, both in the common areas—where a log fire roars in winter—and in the restaurant, where hearty game dishes dominate the menu (perfect fare after a hike in the mountains). The rooms are simply decorated, and six (including the three suites) have a fireplace.

James Batman
I've mentioned elsewhere that I find the Philippines' Tagalog language pop cinema of the 1960s strikingly similar to Turkish pulp cinema of the same period. The products of both are comparably rough hewn and action oriented and, by necessity of their staggering volume, bear the hallmarks of being churned out at a very brisk pace. Both are also brimming with fanciful costumed heroes, many of which are lifted directly from Western pop culture sources with little or no concern for matters of copyright. Of course, the Filipino's have their own rich comic book history to draw from, and the decade would also see numerous screen adaptations of homegrown superheroes such as Captain Barbell, Lastikman, and Mars Ravelo's Wonder Woman inspired Darna, but audiences at the time were just as likely to be treated to fare along the lines of Batman Fights Dracula or Zoom, Zoom, Superman!

Water flows over United Waters dam by the Lake DeForest reservoir in West Nyack. / File photo/The Journal News
WEST NYACK — United Water New York has agreed to a civil penalty of $40,000 for improperly applying pesticides to the Lake Deforest Reservoir under the terms of a consent order with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, the agency said Tuesday.
United Water New York owns and operates the reservoir, a major drinking water supply for thousands of Rockland homes and businesses. The company had nothing to say regarding its pollution of the reservoir Tuesday.
Spokeswoman Deb Rizzi did not return a call seeking comment. Spokesman Steve Goudsmith then said he would have Rizzi provide comment, but declined to do so himself. A message left on Goudsmiths phone late in the day also went unreturned.
State Environmental Conservation Law regulates how and when chemicals and pesticides may be applied to the states water bodies. The DECs pesticide regulations authorize the application of copper sulfate for the control of algae, subject to certain limitations.
United Water failed to follow three critical provisions of the states pesticides law in the use of copper sulfate to effectively treat algae in the reservoir, the DEC said. The company applied copper sulfate later in the year than allowed by regulation, the applications were too frequent to be in compliance with the regulation, and the company failed to maintain accurate and complete pesticide records on site, the DEC said.
United Water agreed to pay $23,250 of the penalty with the balance of $16,750 suspended contingent upon compliance with the requirements of the consent order, the DEC said. The consent order also addresses the violations and sets out a series of steps the company will need to take, including properly maintaining pesticide records and properly following all pesticide regulations in the future.
United Water New York relies on the Lake Deforest reservoir, the Ramapo Valley Well Field and a system of wells scattered around Rockland to provide drinking water to its Rockland customers.
To increase the available supply, the company is seeking state and federal approvals to build a water treatment plant that would draw water from the Hudson River, remove salt and other contaminants, and then deliver treated water to Rockland customers.
The effort is being opposed by a coalition of environmental and civic groups.

Carbon monoxide safetyColumbia Gas offers tips, signs of poisoning
Cumberland County Prison doesn't have carbon monoxide detectors.
"The only place that we have equipment that would even emit any kind of carbon monoxide is in our boiler room, which is in the complete opposite end of the institution," said Earl Reitz Jr., warden of the prison with about 400 inmates. "And there's so much fresh air surrounding that area that carbon monoxide wouldn't be a big issue."
But the recent carbon monoxide exposure at York County Prison -- which sent 49 female inmates to various hospitals for treatment -- has prompted Reitz and leaders of some other county-run correctional facilities to reconsider their policies.
"We haven't made any final decisions yet, actually, but we're going to do whatever is necessary to make sure that doesn't happen here," Reitz said.
York County Prison already had one multiple-gas detector. But after the leak in November, officials decided to make checking for carbon monoxide part of their routine procedure, according to county spokesman Carl Lindquist. The county ordered six-single gas detectors, plus another multiple gas detector, which cost about $2,050 total.
Witold Walczak, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said having carbon monoxide detectors "seems like a no-brainer" now.
"Twenty years ago -- who thought about carbon monoxide poisoning?" Walczak said. "But, today, detectors are widespread and cheap, and so I think that increases the obligation for government-run prisons."
Silent killer
A carbon monoxide leak at a building without detectors -- an Atlanta elementary school -- sent at least 42 students and seven adults to hospitals on Monday, The Associated Press reported. The levels of carbon monoxide were potentially lethal.
"Carbon monoxide is the silent killer, because it's colorless, odorless, and people really don't know that it's attacking them," said Bill Degnan, the state fire marshal for New Hampshire.
Degnan is president of the National Association of State Fire Marshals, which says every home should have one or more carbon monoxide alarms. He said all homes "in some way shape or form ... have some sort of exposure, somewhere."
Degnan also said commercial entities, such as hotels, with fossil fuel burning devices should have detectors. He said prisons and schools that are at risk of exposure can place detectors in targeted areas "so that it's cost effective."
"If there's a chance for it to be present, we should be doing something to try to detect it, to give them early warning," said Degnan. "...That's your first line of defense."
Federal and state
Chris Burke, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, said its institutions comply with the International Building Code and the Life Safety Code, which require carbon monoxide detectors in certain situations, but not for any of the federal prison facilities in Pennsylvania.
Susan Bensinger, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, said its facilities follow either National Fire Protection Association recommendations, the Uniform Commercial Code or both.
"It appears that most of our facilities use hot water/steam heat systems, so these would not be necessary," Bensinger said in an email.
But facilities that use gas or propane heating do have stationary carbon monoxide detectors, she said.
All of the new detectors for York County arrived by Thursday, according to Lindquist, the county spokesman.
In addition to inmates who are awaiting trial or who have already been sentenced by a Court of Common Pleas judge, York County Prison also houses federal immigration detainees in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"While ICE does not specifically require that local jails housing ICE detainees have carbon monoxide detectors, the agency is committed to the health and safety of detainees in our custody and is working with York County on this issue," Harold Ort, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an email.
York County Commissioner Doug Hoke said the county's work with ICE didn't influence the decision to purchase detectors. And Hoke said he doesn't expect the county's relationship with ICE to be hurt by the carbon monoxide exposure at the prison.
"It could've been a lot worse," said Hoke, head of the prison board in York County. "And I think everybody worked together to the best of their ability."
Carroll County Detention Center in Maryland, about 20 miles south of Hanover, doesn't have them in housing areas.
"I've been in the business for a long time -- don't know too many that do," said George Hardinger, the warden there.
Hardinger said they have a safety system in place. He said the exhaust system evacuates air continuously.
"If the exhaust system isn't working, then the boilers shut down automatically," Hardinger said.
Lauren Bowers, a spokeswoman for Dauphin County, said its prison has three separate buildings, all of which have air quality monitors.
"They're ... checking for all harmful gases," Bowers said.
Bowers said the units are digitally monitored, checked constantly, and sound an alarm if parameters are exceeded.
"But even if those alarms don't sound, all of these filters are changed quarterly and then given a complete inspection at that time," she said.
The incident at York County caught Adams County Commissioner Jim Martin's attention.
"We see it as kind of an isolated incident. We've never really heard of anything like that happening before," said Martin, head of the prison board in Adams County.
Martin said he doesn't think the Adams County Adult Correctional Complex is "vulnerable to such a thing." He said the boiler and furnace area is isolated and "well ventilated."
But, after what happened in York County, Adams County officials will consider adding a carbon monoxide detector there. And Martin said the incident at York County "is a good reminder to pay attention when any construction is going on."
Dennis Molyneaux, warden for Lancaster County Prison, had a similar reaction to York County's carbon monoxide leak.
"This is kind of unheard of for correctional institutions," Molyneaux said.
Jim O'Neill, warden for Baltimore County Detention Center in Maryland, said his detention center has carbon monoxide detectors in its underground parking area. But he said those detectors wouldn't pick up carbon monoxide in the cell blocks or common areas, which don't have the detectors.
"We like thick walls in jails," O'Neill said.
Federal immigration detainees
York County Prison receives $83 per day for each federal immigration detainee it houses for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Harold Ort, a spokesman for ICE, said it was notified at 11 p.m. on Nov. 21 of the carbon monoxide leak, and coordinated the transportation of seven ICE detainees to York Hospital.
"Throughout the night ICE was in contact with the facility, which handled the situation," Ort said in an email.
No requirements for county prisons in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania doesn't require carbon monoxide detectors to be installed in prisons, jails and other correctional centers, according to Lindsay Bracale, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Labor and Industry.
State Rep. Eugene DePasquale, D-West Manchester Township, said he supports requiring carbon monoxide detectors for public facilities, potentially by phasing them in.
"Considering the cost of these operations, this is not a significant impact on the budget at all," said DePasquale, who was recently elected state auditor general. "And as we now know, the cost of not having them can be significant."
State Rep. Keith Gillespie, R-Hellam Township, said it may be necessary to monitor carbon monoxide during a renovation, but he said he's not sure it's necessary to require carbon monoxide detectors in prisons, schools and other entities "as a standard practice of doing business."
"They didn't have a problem up until this renovation or incident had taken place," Gillespie said of York County Prison. "I think you've got to look at what the cause is and address it."
State Rep. Ron Miller, R-Jacobus, also advised caution.
"I think it's something that needs to be looked at, but I don't think we should run out immediately ... before we investigate all the ramifications," Miller said.
State Rep. Frank Farry, R-Bucks County, has pushed for an expansion of carbon monoxide requirements in Pennsylvania. He said the cost to have one in a home is low.
"We're talking $25 to $30 dollars. And I've seen where they've saved lives," said Farry, chief of the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company.
Pennsylvania requires carbon monoxide alarms in newly constructed one-and two-family homes, which are no higher than three stories, with fuel-fired appliances or with an attached garage, according to Bracale. And they are also required in such existing homes where work requiring a building permit occurs.
Farry wanted them to be required for certain multifamily dwellings, such as ones with a fossil fuel burning heater or an attached garage. And he wanted the seller of a residential building to have to note whether the property had carbon monoxide detectors on the property disclosure statement.
But he said he'd have to look into the issue more to decide whether there should be state requirements for institutions like prisons, schools and nursing homes.
"I think the institutions can be responsible enough themselves to determine what they need and where they need it," he said.

Seriously, who wouldn't want to schedule a game at Hawaii?
It's too expensive to make a habit out of it if you don't share a conference with the Warriors, but consider the benefits: you get to visit Hawaii. The NCAA's Hawaii scheduling exception lets you play a 13-game season, perfect for the young, developing team. The game will likely start late enough that it's certain to land on television somewhere, possibly even reach a national audience*. Also, you get to visit Hawaii.
So what kind of coach would not only turn down the Warriors, but do so by first reaching a scheduling agreement with them and then backing out just as most teams are finalizing their 2012 slates? Why, college football's old friend Dennis Franchione, now the head man at newly-minted FBS program (and 2012 WAC member) Texas State.
And no, as the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports, the folks at Hawaii are none too thrilled with Franchione's decision (emphasis added):
To recap: Franchione could have given his fledgling program an extra week of practice and an extra game at the stage when it needs it the most; a likely television date for a team no doubt desperate for exposure; a home game against a nationally-recognized Mountain West opponent that won 11 games last year; and, oh yes, two visits to Hawaii. He turned it all down to spend one extra week recruiting (at a date on the calendar when most recruits have long since already decided their destinations), and turned it down in such a fashion as to eliminate all possibility of getting it back in the future.
After "five or six months" of talking, UH said an agreement was worked out to bring the Bobcats here, only to have Franchione scuttle it when contracts were to be sent out.
When Texas State asked for a better financial package, UH said it complied, upping the terms. When the Bobcats requested a home game, UH said it offered a two-for-one deal and would make a later appearance in San Marcos.
Texas State athletic director Lawrence Teis said the Bobcats were interested in UH when they found out they would not be eligible for a bowl or the WAC title in '12 and saw a trip here as "great." But Teis said "we also had not completed (scheduling) our other 12 games yet ... Ideally, if Hawaii would have been in September or October, we probably could have made this work."
Instead, as a 13th game in December, "Coach Fran was concerned that (date) would cut into recruiting, which we desperately need to do moving to (the FBS) level," Teis said ...
[I]t has been taken very personally in Manoa, where athletic director Jim Donovan said, "We won't be working with Texas State anytime in my tenure."
So consider us skeptical this is the best decision for Texas State. To be fair, Franchione has no doubt forgotten more about coaching college football (as the saying goes) than we'll ever know. But we're also pretty sure we'd have known enough to tell him selling a super-secret newsletter to big-money Texas A&M boosters wasn't such a great idea ... and this one doesn't seem all that hot, either.
*A national audience at 1 a.m. Eastern, but still.

Hey, we know–it's universally acknowledged, okay?–that Bush has been a disaster, but tonally and morally rudderless novels from outraged Leftists that fantasize about how cool it might be to kill the man ain't gonna do anybody a damn bit of good–it makes the Left look incapable of legitimate response to power, which feeds the Right's glee. And it makes American fiction writers look as politically numskullish and out-of-it as European and Third World writers think they are. It might make Baker feel a little better, but that's no reason to foist it on the world.

Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
Working With or Near Children? Protect Your Clients and Your Reputation by Staying On Top of Regulations
Most child care providers must be licensed and registered with their state. However, there many other business types that cater to children, but do not fall under the traditional;child care
No matter what your business is, you are responsible for ensuring a safe environment for your employees and customers. When your business caters to children under the age of 18, you will likely comply with additional safety requirements. Whether you are tutoring students in your home or you own a gymnastics studio, there are some basic precautions you can take to create a safe environment:
Screen your employees and volunteers
The use of background checks to screen employees and volunteers has grown steadily since 1993, when the National Child Protection Act became law. Today, it is common for many businesses and organizations- particularly those that cater to children' to screen workers for criminal red flags, especially those involving drugs, alcohol, and violence. For additional guidance, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention offers a three-part decision making model for business and organizations to create an employment screening process.
I's important to keep in mind that not every state has passed legislation on screening employees who work with or near children. If your state has laws in place, you can learn more by contacting your local licensing department or social welfare agency.
Finally, remember to check your state laws regarding privacy requirements. This pre-employment checklist from Business.gov outlines the types of information that employers often consult before hiring an employee, and the laws governing their access and use in making hiring decisions. If you have specific questions about what you can legally include in your pre-employment check, contact your local Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) office.
Create a safe environment
Ensure that your facilities meet your state and local safety regulations for zoning, fire codes, and sanitation. Your local licensing board may require site visits or inspections to satisfy safety regulations. If you need guidance on creating a safe work environment, the Department of Labor provides OSHA Guidance for Small Businesses, which features a user-friendly portal designed to help small businesses understand and comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Depending on the nature of your business, you may need to comply with additional safety requirements. For example, if you run an art school, you will need to pay particular attention to the tools that your students access, in order to prevent injury. Nevertheless, accidents do happen, so you may want to consult with a local small business attorney to draft a liability waiver that the childre's guardians can sign upon enrollment.
Final thoughts on maintaining safety practices
Prevention and planning are fundamental in maintaining a safe work environment:
- I's a good idea to train your staff in first aid and CPR, even if your local licensing board does't require you do to so.
- Ensure that your insurance plan adequately protects your business and your customers. You can learn more about business insurance at Business.gov.
- Remember to develop a contingency plan for accidents, illnesses, and emergency procedures. For assistance, visit Business.go's Emergency Preparedness Guide, which offers tips on how to create an emergency plan for your business.
Related Resources
All businesses must comply with advertising and marketing laws - failure to do so could result in costly lawsuits and civil penalties. But, if your business targets a youth demographic, you should be aware of additional regulations that apply to businesses that market their products or services to children. Read Marketing to Children: Where Is the Line and Who Enforces It? for more details.

COVINGTON - Eight attorneys have filed applications with the Judicial Nominating Commission to be considered for the fifth Superior Court judgeship in the Alcovy Judicial Circuit.A total of 11 were nominated, but three withdrew their names. "Not everyone who's nominated will apply," said Barbara Watson, legal secretary for Judicial Nominating Commission Chairman Michael J. Bowers. "Sometimes, they are nominated without their knowledge - someone knows them and thinks they would be a good judge, but for whatever reason ... they choose not to pursue the judgeship, so they do not apply." The applicants are: · Stanford L. Cox III, an attorney in Monroe; · David Dickinson, an attorney with Dickinson & Willis LLC in Monroe; · Lori B. Duff, an attorney with Jones and Duff LLC in Loganville; · Sheryl D. Fambrough, an attorney in Monroe · Ann M. Overbeck, with Overbeck and Glass LLC in Social Circle; · Robert Stansfield with Greer, Stansfield and Turner LLP in Covington; · C. David Strickland with Alexander, Royston, Hardman, Shinall and Strickland LLP in Covington; and · William Kendall Wynne Jr., district attorney for the Alcovy Judicial Circuit. Others who were nominated but did not apply are: · Anthony Carter, public defender for the Alcovy Circuit; · Donald Osborne, an attorney with Donald W. Osborne PC in Monroe; and · Tricia B. Smith, with B. T. Smith Law Group PC in Conyers. Applicants will be interviewed at the State Bar headquarters in Atlanta on Oct. 13. Once the interviews are completed, the Judicial Nominating Commission will submit a short list of names to Gov. Sonny Perdue, who will make the appointment. To be considered, candidates must be at least 30 years old, be a resident of the jurisdiction in which they will preside, be a resident of Georgia for at least three years and have practiced law for at least seven years. The fifth judgeship was approved by the Georgia General Assembly in 2008, with funding appropriated this year. A total of $236,905 has been appropriated, which includes the judge's salary and benefits, a secretary's salary and benefits, and setup costs to cover office furniture and equipment. By law, assistant district attorney and assistant public defender positions must be created for each judgeship as well. The new judge will work out of both Newton and Walton counties but will be based in Newton. The appointee would serve through 2010 and could run for election in November of that year for a four-year term beginning January 2011. Crystal Tatum can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tooele County crashes leaves one dead, one critical
A driver died Monday afternoon after a car crash in Tooele County.
The man was driving on Interstate 80 about 40 miles east of Wendover about 8:30 a.m. when the car rolled over, said Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson. The driver was ejected from the car. He was flown to a hospital, where he died, Johnson said.
A female passenger also was critically injured and flown to a hospital, while a male passenger suffered serious injuries and was taken to a separate hospital. Their conditions were not available Monday night.
Troopers suspected the driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, but the investigation remained inconclusive as of Monday night.
An unrelated crash occurred about 9 a.m. on State Road 73 about 10 miles west Fairfield; a medical helicopter also was sent to that crash, but no one was seriously injured, Johnson said.

Game Notes - UMES @ South Florida
Listen Live on the Hawks Radio Network!
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Lady Hawks will fly to Florida for their fourth straight road game, taking on the Bulls of South Florida for a 2:00 p.m. game on Saturday. This is the first-ever meeting of the programs as UMES looks to snap a three-game losing streak.
LAST TIME OUT: UMES fell in their third straight road contest with a defeat against Towson 58-45 on Tuesday. Each defense stood strong in the first half with a tie score at 12 after 11 minutes of play. Later, the Lady Hawks got to within one at 18-17, but a 17-0 going into the second half by Towson gave the Tigers a 35-17 advantage, leading 53-32 at the 9:00 mark. UMES's freshmen took over, not allowing a Towson basket the rest of the half. Jessica Long ran the floor to finish with 11 points and five steals, with Porsha Barr and Shawnee Sweeney getting nine points each. UMES managed to cut the deficit to 13 by the end of the contest.
SERIES HISTORY: UMES and South Florida will play for the first time in their history on Saturday. The Lady Hawks played a Big East team last season, falling to Syracuse 73-50 in the Carrier Dome. The last time UMES played a non-conference game in Florida was 1986 when the Lady Hawks fell to Miami and Florida International. The Bulls are 1-0 against MEAC teams this year, defeating Bethune-Cookman on November 17th at home 72-36.
SCOUTING THE BULLS: South Florida stands at 6-5 during the non-conference season, so far not having a game in Big East play. The Bulls fell in a road contest Auburn on Wednesday 62-45. USF, which is 3-0 at home, is led by senior guard Jasmine Wynne, who leads the team with 14.3 points and 5.8 rebounds a game, adding 36 steals. The team sports three transfers from Gulf Coast Community College, including 6-4 junior center Caitlin Rowe, averaging 8.2 points and five rebounds per contest.
COACH BATCHELOR APPROACHING 100TH UMES WIN: With the Lady Hawks winning two games so far this season, coach Fred Batchelor is just three wins away from reaching his 100th win with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, currently standing at 97-114 in his eight seasons. This will make Coach Batchelor the first in UMES women's basketball history to reach that milestone.
NO-SCORE ZONE: UMES is allowing just 54.6 points per game , standing in the top-50 in the country and second in the MEAC after last weekend's games. Three UMES opponents, Canisius, American and Delaware State, all scored less than 43 points.
SANDERS LEADING THE TEAM: Redshirt junior forward Chelsea Sanders has led the Lady Hawks in scoring five of her eight games to start the season, earning double figures in the first six UMES contests. So far, Sanders has totaled 99 points, averaging 12.4 points a contest. Against UMBC last Tuesday, Sanders shot 7-11 to match a career high 22 points.
AGBASI APPROACHING 150 CAREER BLOCKS: With three blocks against Penn State, Adobi Agbasi is just six blocks away from reaching the 150-mark in her career. This season Agbasi has 13 blocks, averaging a Division I 48th-ranked 2.2 per game. The senior center has gotten at least a block in six of her seven games she has played.
STEWART CLEANS UP THE GLASS: In her first eight games, Shanyce Stewart has tallied double-digit rebounds four times. Currently she leads the team with 7.5 rebounds a game, standing seventh in the MEAC in that category.

Get Sport24 on your mobile
Hamilton - Poor shot selection saw New Zealand squander a steady start to the first Test against Pakistan and they were battling for respectability at the close of the opening day on Friday.At stumps New Zealand were 260 for seven, their innings built around only two partnerships of note.Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill put on 83 for the second wicket while Kane Williamson (44) and Tim Southee (56) have put on 83 in their unbeaten eighth-wicket stand.In between, New Zealand lost six wickets for 85 runs as they wrestled with the miserly spin of Abdur Rehman, who was able to produce prodigious turn at times to finish the day with three for 51 off 30 overs including 13 maidens.When Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl they did not get the assistance expected from the overcast conditions and after New Zealand lost Tim McIntosh early, McCullum and Guptill guided them through to lunch at 78 for one.But when it appeared the top order pair were lining themselves up to build a solid foundation, the innings began to fall apart when play resumed.McCullum, who was fortunate to survive a caught behind appeal when on 34, reached 56 before he was the first wicket to fall when he abandoned his circumspect approach of the opening session to hit out at Umar Gul.Since stepping down as the New Zealand wicketkeeper, McCullum has been intent on forging a name for himself as an opening batsmen while retaining the swashbuckling approach to batting that served him lower down the order.He succeeded with two sixes off Gul, a drive and a pull, to reach his 18th Test half-century before flashing at a wide delivery which went straight to Azhar Ali at deep point.Ross Taylor was tucked up by Rehman attempting a cut shot that was not there and bottom-edged the ball to wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal to be out for six.Jesse Ryder was run out for 22, and Guptill who had battled patiently for nearly four hours to reach 50, patted a full toss from Rehman straight to Misbah-ul-Haq at cover.Reece Young (14) and Daniel Vettori (0) both mistimed sweep shots to fall leg before wicket leaving Williamson and Southee to mount a face-saving stand.The 20-year-old Williamson has faced 110 balls for his 44 while Southee, who came in at the fall of Vettori's wicket, has reached 56 off 81 deliveries.Supporting Rehman with the ball, Tanvir Ahmed finished the day with two for 54, claiming the wickets of McIntosh and Vettori, while senior bowler Gul captured the wicket of McCullum while conceding 78 runs from 20 overs.

|Clinico-pathological follow-up after total colectomy and straight ileo-anal anastomosis done for ulcerative colitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11990329 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Restorative proctocolectomy is used as surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis. We have earlier documented adaptative changes in the terminal ileum after total colectomy, and straight ileo-anal anastomosis. AIM: To correlate the morphologic and functional changes in the ileal mucosa after total colectomy and hand-sewn straight ileo-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Thirty consecutive patients (age range 15-50 years, 24 men) who had undergone total colectomy, rectal mucosectomy and hand-sewn straight ileo-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis were included in the study. These patients were followed up at 3-monthly intervals following surgery for two years and later once every year for a median duration of 9.5 (range 1-17) years. The clinical parameters studied were weight gain, frequency of stools, nature of stools, nocturnal stool frequency and need for antidiarrheal drugs. At each follow-up visit they were subjected to per rectal ileoscopy with ileal biopsy and barium enema. Ileal biopsy was analyzed histologically and histochemically. RESULTS: The clinical features improved over time, with average weight gain of 5 (range 1-7) Kg at one year. Frequency of stools decreased from 8-10 per day to 2-3 per day. The stools became semisolid and there was no need for antidiarrheal drug by the end of one year. All the patients showed adaptative changes in the ileum. The ileal mucosa was completely transformed into colonic type by the end of one year, colonoscopically (spacious lumen characteristic of colon), radiologically (disappearance of ileal characteristics with rectosigmoid-like appearance), histologically (blunting of villi with increase in goblet cells), and histochemically (sialomucin pattern to sulfomucin pattern). CONCLUSIONS: The ileum undergoes adaptative changes with corresponding improvement of clinical parameters over time, after proctocolectomy and ileoanal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis.

Entries for free ammo drawing open Saturday
Starting Saturday, big-game hunters living in Monterey County will have a shot at getting free non-lead ammunition, courtesy of the Ventana Wildlife Society.
A prize drawing offers the avenue to the free ammo, which is underwritten by the Monterey County Fish and Game Advisory Commission and individual donors. Ammunition is provided by Cabela's at a discount to the Ventana Wildlife Society, but drawing winners pay nothing.
Interested persons should complete the online drawing form by going to http://ventanaws.org/, which only takes a few minutes. On or before July 15, Ventana Wildlife Society will verify the ages of raffle entrants (must be at least 18 years old to participate) and will pay for one box per household at Cabela's, up to 200 boxes. Participants must live in Monterey County, and the intent is for the ammunition to be used for the fall hunting season.
The Wildlife Society is putting on the drawing because one of its main thrusts is preserving the endangered California condor, whose habitat includes Monterey County.
"One-third of all condors that have died, perished due to ingestion of lead, and over and over we find lead bullets in the digestive system of condors, so we know the source to be primarily from ammunition," said Kelly Sorenson, Ventana Wildlife Society director.
In 2008, a law went into effect requiring non-lead ammo within condor range. The California legislature is now considering a bill, AB 711, which would require non-lead ammunition statewide for shooting of all animals.
As a result, the issue has become so controversial that the real problem is getting lost in the battle. "We're not interested in battles," Sorenson said. "We're interested in helping condors and other wildlife, while at the same time helping people who hunt for game where condors are trying make a living." The issue is only about the metal used in ammunition, lead, which is highly toxic to anything that ingests it. Hunting, if done with non-lead ammunition, can actually benefit scavengers such as the condor, golden eagles or other wildlife.
"Hunting has a long tradition in conservation and by using non-lead ammunition, we are continuing that tradition," he said.
Welcome Center to mark anniversary
The California Welcome Center in Salinas plans to celebrate its two-year anniversary from noon to 4 p.m. June 30. The free event will offer family-friendly entertainment, including cake and lemonade, a car show and herpetologist Tony Velez showing off his reptiles. The center is at 1213 N. Davis Road, Salinas. For more information, call Cathy or Inez at 831-757-8687.

Under a warm mid-morning sun that baked the turf at Eccles Coliseum on Thursday, the Southern Utah football team got a sort of motivational kick in the pants by running extra sprints at the end of practice.
With less than two weeks left until the 2013 season opener at South Alabama, head coach Ed Lamb said the jolt was necessary for two reasons.
"We need to work on our fitness and enthusiasm," Lamb said. "Those two things aren't game-ready yet." ...

Sun trine Mars is a great natal aspect to bring out natural creative abilities. The harmony between self-expression and impulse shows up in very talented actors, musicians and artists but any area of life would benefit from high energy. Even though there is a lot of creative energy and enthusiasm, this aspect does not give the aggressiveness and overt competitiveness of other Sun Mars aspects.
It is an indicator of success which should come with fewer obstacles, but as shown below, if there are obstacles from other areas of life, the trine can be lazy and not strong enough to overcome setbacks. Their energy is attractive and non-threatening which makes these people very popular.
Sun Trine Mars Celebrities
Kurt Cobain (2 seconds orb) was surely gifted with creative talent. He had so much energy as shown by the exactness of this aspect that he was naturally hyperactive, and as a child was medicated for ADHD. Unfortunately this early drugging set up the spiral to self-destruction from heroin and alcohol in later life. Kurt still managed to be hugely successful from his raw and gritty (Mars) yet harmonious (trine) style of music. His energy did not find release through sports because his father pushed him into it and he rebelled against him.
Tom Hanks (08′) however was into sport as a young man. This healthy expression of the Sun trine Mars energy may explain why we has always been one of the few tea totaling Hollywood celebrities. His non-confronting creative energy has led to him being famous for playing likable character roles. Others include record-breaking US footballer Archie Griffin (54′); French impressionist Paul Cezanne (57′) and Sir Thomas More (93′).

Q: Is there a threat to public health?
A: Although 17 WIPP employees have tested positive for trace amounts of americium and plutonium, leading science experts have said there is no threat to both humans and the environment.
Those exposed to the radiation are not expected to have any adverse health problems according to the DOE.
Radioactive particles were found as much as a half mile northwest of WIPP by scientists at the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center. CEMRC and the Department of Energy have both said the lingering americium and plutonium particles are unlikely to spread from the site because the particles are heavy and immediately fall to the ground upon release.
A separate air filter tested by CEMRC about 12 miles southeast of WIPP showed no sign of any radiation.
Q. When will operations be able to resume?
A. "The question is not if, but when operations will resume at WIPP," said David Klaus, deputy under secretary for management and performance at the Department of Energy during a public meeting on March 7.
The DOE must first send a human underground, find the origin and cause of the radiation leak and clean up radiation in the south mine before WIPP resumes accepting and disposing of nuclear waste.
Q. What is WIPP and what is stored at the facility?
A. WIPP disposes transuranic waste, commonly referred to as "TRU," into the Permian-age salt bedrock 2,150 feet below ground. TRU waste consists of clothing, tools, rags, debris, residues and other disposal items contaminated with radioactive elements, mostly plutonium, which were used in manufacturing of Cold War-era nuclear weapons.
All elements are manmade and have an atomic number greater than uranium.
WIPP disposes two types of TRU waste, contact-handled and remote-handled. About 96 percent of the waste stored at WIPP is contact-handled and the drums are stacked in a room. Remote-handled waste is placed into a carved-out space in the salt bed wall and has additional shielding to keep the radiation from leaking.
Before the halt in operations, WIPP was accepting waste from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Savannah River in Aiken, S.C. and Hanford Site in Benton, Washington.
Congress authorized WIPP in 1979 and the sire was constructed 26 miles east of Carlsbad during the 1980s. In 1992, Congress passed the WIPP Land Withdrawl Act, which set aside 16 square miles for the facility. WIPP was certified by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1998 and accepted its first shipment of waste on March 26, 1999.

There have been some great cloud formations over Lafayette during the last two weeks. Here the clouds are reflected in the Wabash River both upstream and downstream from my favorite photographic spot. Thirty minutes earlier the light would have been better, the bridges and the the banks of the river better illuminated. Digital processing post acquisition, however, helps to correct for this. In general, under exposed images still contain data that can be brought out digitally. Over exposed images–do not.

Learn the secrets of how to connect with "impossible," therapy-fighting clients in a way that gets them beyond their ambivalence and genuinely invested in therapy.
Inevitably, given their history of trauma, many borderline clients will trigger their therapists from time to time. But forgoing the urge to blame these clients and taking responsibility for what's happening inside you can become a turning point in therapy.
In America, almost everybody has peculiar eating habits, and almost everybody exhibits some food excesses and fetishes. Learn practical techniques you can use to help your clients avoid these harmful eating habits.
Identify practical methods for restoring mutual respect, understanding, and connection between parents and kids.
Learn concrete steps for connecting with and supporting enraged, despairing, often self-harming and suicidal teenage girls that can help them reengage with others and begin to thrive.
Learn what to say to continue to be effective when clients press some of your hottest buttons.
With all the recent developments in research, theory, and practice, we have more treatment options to choose from than ever before. Why then do so many practitioners still find client "resistance" a regular companion in their consulting rooms?
A new breed of therapist believes that it's disrespectful not to say to clients displaying obnoxious, selfish, or self-defeating behaviors what traditionalists might only share in a supervision group.
As therapists, we typically assume that a person suffering from severe anxiety is eager and motivated to receive the help we offer. But we should never naively underestimate clients' hidden antipathy to change, despite their discomfort.

|An outbreak of toe ulcers, sole ulcers and white line disease in a group of dairy heifers immediately after calving.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22175435 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|CASE HISTORY: An outbreak of severe lameness was reported on a 780-cow spring-calving dairy herd in the Manawatu region within 1-3 weeks of calving, which affected over 90% of a group of 150 dairy heifers. Approximately 3 weeks before the planned start of calving heifers had been fed maize and grass silage on a concrete feed pad for 3-4 h per day, and mixed with a group of adult cows.
CLINICAL FINDINGS: During treatment for lameness, the feet of 28 lame heifers were closely examined. Seventy lesions were recorded in the claws of these heifers. The predominant lesion was severe solar and white line haemorrhage, with much of the haemorrhage focussed at the site at which sole ulcers are normally seen. White line disease was seen in nine claws and sole ulcers in four. Additionally, a lesion which is not commonly recorded in New Zealand, a toe abscess arising from separation of the white line from the sole in the abaxial region of tip of the toe was recorded in 11 claws. The clinical impression was that the soles of the affected heifers were very thin. This was supported by examination of the feet of eight heifers using ultrasonography that indicated heifers with hoof horn haemorrhages had very thin soles (estimated mean 4.1 mm) and that these soles were thinner than those in non-lame heifers without haemorrhages.
DIAGNOSIS: The pattern of disease seen in these heifers closely matched that seen in an outbreak of lameness in heifers in Florida, which was linked to thin soles resulting from excess hoof horn wear. The clinical signs and findings of the examination using ultrasonography strongly implicated thin soles as the underlying cause of lameness on this farm. An on-farm investigation revealed a combination of heifer behaviour and prolonged exposure to wet concrete on the feed pad were the primary causes of excess wear that resulted in thin soles.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This was an unusual outbreak of lameness in a group of newly calved heifers. The problem highlights the value of good management during the transition of heifers at pasture to the lactating herd standing on concrete for long periods, in the control of lameness.

I used to pronounce 'detail' as ['di:teil] with accent on the first syllable. However, these days I hear people (and on the radio) say [di'teil] with accent on the second syllable. Is my pronunciation incorrect? Is there a regional preference for this?
According to Merriam-Webster, your pronunciation is fine as both are acceptable to convey the usual noun and verb form meanings of the word.
According to this American, /ˈdiːteɪl/ is far more common from the mouths of my fellow Americans.
Macmillan has the British as /ˈdiːteɪl/, and the American as both /dɪˈteɪl/ and /ˈdiˌteɪl/.

Peter Tchir On Risk Positioning Heading Into The FOMC Conference, And Outcomes Heading Out
From Peter Tchir of TF Market Advisors
Fed-up With The Fed
So here we are, finally at the big day. We get the first press conference from the most important man in America. Before you gag on the claim that he is the most important person, can you name one other person who has so much power coupled with the ability to act virtually unilaterally? It's not so much what he can do, print money, change rates, print money, change reserve requirements, print money, that makes him so powerful, it's that basically anything that he wants to do becomes policy.
Ahead of the Fed there are two interesting moves in the market that bear watching. Treasuries rallied strongly into the close yesterday, but have given back a lot of the late day gains already. The other more interesting phenomena is what is happening to Greek, Irish, and Portuguese spreads. The bonds are blowing out, as much as 80 bps for Greek 10 year debt, but the CDS is actually tighter. This divergence may be a result of the bonds starting to trade at recovery levels, so investors don't want the hedges, or an indication of yet another expected bailout, but it is worth watching as the divergence is quite large.
So, now to the Fed.
Re-investing Proceeds
I remain convinced that the Fed will continue to re-invest proceeds from pre-payments and redemptions. If they don't do this the market will be caught off guard as no one expects them to contract their balance sheet. I continue to believe they will signal their intention to use the money to purchase bonds further out the curve as they try to re-link their purchases
to the mortgage market rather than the Russell 2000. So the re-investment policy is unlikely to provide any upside, maybe a touch of curve flattening, and any indication that they will not re-invest will surprise the market to the downside.
QE3 and Extended Period
I now believe that they will NOT implement QE3. The data has been too strong to easily justify QE3. They also need to argue that QE2 has been successful. That argument is greatly diminished if they say that QE2 was a great success, but not so great that we immediately need QE3. To temper any disappointment, the Fed will make sure they are prepared to step in any time we need, and at any sign weakness, they will be able to rush in QE3. This should mollify the news of no QE3, but I expect the market will react slightly negatively to this because although most people say they don't expect QE3, it feels like they are positioned as though there is a chance. The more cynical people in the market may even choose to believe the Fed was pressured by the government and PIMCO into dropping QE3. This would put further pressure on the market if the belief that QE3 won't be easy to implement becomes more widespread.
There is a slim chance, that the Fed will hint at tightening. At the very least I expect they will remove the extended period language from their accommodative policy line. This would definitely catch the market unprepared and would see a sell off if near term rate hikes are implied.
So any statement regarding QE3 and future interest rate policy is likely to be negative for the market, though again I see most scenarios leading to a flattening of the curve.
The Economic Outlook
I expect little surprise from this. The Fed will say signs of strength, firmer footing, sustained, but throw in a couple caveats that some data has been less robust of late and jobs continue to be more difficult to create than hoped for. Some of the outlook will be based on information not available to the public, but most of the data is already out there. Their outlook will be structured to make themselves look good. They will mention how much better things are so that they can claim success with QE2. The small negatives will be included so that they can seem compassionate about jobs (some consultant told them it would be a good idea to pretend to be sympathetic to the jobless) and to create wiggle room so they can continue to experiment with alternative methods and to keep more QE on the table. Hard to see how they say much in their outlook that is surprising. If anything, maybe they will paint a more rosy picture than people are expecting. Any rally on that should be faded, as people realize it is more spin than reality.
The Conference
Now we get to the interesting part of the day. I see three distinct outcomes from this session.
Do I look fat in this dress? (60% likelihood)
In this scenario, the Chairman fields mostly softball questions. Questioners will ask seemingly difficult questions, but where there is really only one answer. The questions will let the Chairman talk about all that is going well - stock market. He can defend what is not going well - signs of inflation are merely temporary and jobs are turning the corner. He can re-assure the public that he has the tools in his power to ensure we never have another crisis. He can say that he is on guard for signs of weakness and prepared to react. So long as he comes across as dovish and willing to focus on supporting stocks at any sign of weakness, then the market will react positively. In theory, this is nothing new, but just as saying 'you don't look fat in that dress' always creates some good will, this line of relatively dull questions followed by trite answers will lead to rally in stocks.
Should I send the wine back? (30% likelihood)
Have you ever ordered a reasonably expensive bottle of wine that doesn't taste quite right? Not so bad that its clearly vinegar, just bad enough that you aren't sure if its corked, but not good enough that you really regret having spent the money on it? Well, most of us will stick with the bottle, feel bad about the purchase, tell the waiter its okay, and regret the decision, but not really do anything about it. Well, in this scenario, the reporters delve into performance of the dollar and signs of inflation post the start of QE2. It gets a little contentious. We are forced to digest the argument that oil inflation is deflationary, we don't really get good answers, but the tone remains civil and in the end the market does nothing. The experience will plant some seeds of doubt in the Fed for many who fully backed it and its policies, but this will play out over the longer term and have no immediate impact.
The man behind the curtain? (10% likelihood)
Just like in the Wizard of OZ when the curtain comes down and the myth is debunked, in this scenario the market becomes extremely concerned with the man pulling the levers. Occasionally during his congressional testimony, the Chairman has become surly, condescending, and almost antagonistic. He gets away with it, in part, because the questions he is forced to answer are often bordering on asinine. If reporters hound him on dollar weakness, inflation, and jobs, will he become surly? Will he be belligerent? I think the reporters will need to press hard to get this reaction, and are unlikely to be given the opportunity, but if he does get pushed on these very real issues, there is a chance we see a 'you can't handle the truth' moment. If he can get pushed to that edge where it becomes clear that in reality he too is scared about inflation or is manipulating the dollar we would see a crisis of confidence and a sell off across stocks and treasuries. Unlikely to get there, not because it's the truth, but because the format of the conference won't let any hot button issue get pushed hard enough.
So coming into the conference, I like a flattener and small short in equities, but will be watching step by step for cues to grow the stock short in particular.

Rusty- 'OK dad...but do you think mom will buy it'?
Ben Shalom Griswold- 'Good talk, son'....
Nice uptick on the VIX this morning. Good work Ben.
"one other person who has so much power coupled with the ability to act virtually unilaterally?"
forgot to add "no oversight." easy..."oversight" to make. now "welcome to the Fed's version of accountability." Don't tell me you're disappointed.
I just don't see much upside today...traded in and out of SLV puts yesterday and letting some ride today. I figure gambling with the house's money might pay off here if something unexpected happens.
Does anyone else believe this is a huge setup for another selloff regardless of what he says?
I'm expecting selloff today. All the press leading into today has been about 3 year highs and dollar lows.
even steven today, sell-off tomorrow. "or not."
Weekend at Bennie Bernanke, the Wizard of Oz and Tooth fairy rolled into one. The odds of the curtain being drawn is up to 50%, not 10%.
I am definitely feeling manipulated. Headlines this morning on my paper "Only oil can drown U.S recovery" followed by an AP story that everything is so dang great according to leading economists. I beg to differ. http://credibleclarity.com/CC/Blog/Blog.html
My favorites are about the surging, rallying USD.
What utter nonsense; this douche is a market adviser?
- the yearly deficit is ~$1.5T
- there has been zero movement for any budget reduction
- there is no political will for any menangful reduction
- no one will buy our debt except the Fed
Will the debt ceiling not be raised; will sanity prevail; can someone besides Berake shit the money the bankrupt US need to keep kciking the can? This crap today is all kabuki, it's nonsense. The script is already writ large.
One Simple Question!!
How will the Fed fund the Govt. Fiscal Deficit, assuming of course, the limit is raised??
That deficit is running at about 120 Billion per month, and whatever is not bought by domestic and international outside sources must be made up by the Fed??
I guess my question is how can they take a QE break? They can take a POMO break, but not a QE break. In other words, the Deficit is continual, every month 120 Billion has to be net created to fund the shortfall.
All occurring in an environment of a devaluing dollar.
Can someone explain??
I mean the only thing I can come up with is direct monetization--or printing-- without the circle jerk of involving TBTF banks.
So its not POMO per se, just direct expansion of the Monetary Base.
Maybe someone has a better description on how this is done. To me, you would be bypassing the TBTF banks and directly injecting the money into the economy through Govt. spending.
Maybe they just won't fund Mr. Market anymore as they will completely tied up funding the government?
we all know what he is going to say.
sock puppet - check
teleprompter - check
There is another way Ben can claim success of QE2 and proceed with QE3.
He can say QE2 is working but QE3 is needed to sustain the recovery.
You say, "I remain convinced that the Fed will continue to re-invest proceeds from pre-payments and redemptions." as a reason that they can stop or back off on QE. Where does the money come from for the pre-payments and redemptions? This is a circular argument which does not give the government any more new money to spend.
The Gov has to come up with money to make pre-payments and redemptions. This money is then used to buy treasuries? How does this help or give he Gov more money to spend? The money only will cover the money just spent to redeem the Ts.
The only good thing about someone being this powerful and not elected is his ability to do what is right for America.
He could allow the market to set the rate.
He could force congress to get their financial act together
And not be voted out as punishment
At some point, I hope we have to look at him as a person who helped get us on course to true recovery
Maybe my coolaid is really good - I just hope for the county's sake he chooses wisely.
I don't think owning silver and gold will help me much if we go down
