While allergy triggers vary with each person, there are common culprits that send many of us reaching for those Kleenexes — pollen, dust mites, and mold being the top offenders. There are many old wives' tales on how to keep allergies at — a teaspoon of local honey a day, anyone? — and while many are false, there are some that hold true. Here, we break down some of the best ways for you to deal with your allergies and keep those symptoms from ruining your day.
OTC Drugs
Undoubtedly, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are the most common remedy for allergies. Due to popularization, a variety of prescription allergy medications are now accessible sans a prescription.
If your allergy attack consists of a combination of symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes, your best bet is to reach for medicine that can address all your symptoms. Non-Drowsy Claritin, Zyrtec, and Benadryl are your best bets for relieving multi-symptom attacks. Keep in mind that many of these medications may have side effects that can affect your daily routine, like drowsiness.
However, if you're experiencing just one or two symptoms, it's best to use more targeted methods of relief like Visine-A and Afrin, which tame itchy eyes and congestion respectively. In fact, these options have been shown to relieve your symptoms faster than the aforementioned oral medications because they don't need to travel through your bloodstream.
Home Remedies
If you prefer a more natural method to battle your allergies, there are some at-home remedies you can try. Many allergy sufferers know that hot liquids help relieve clogged up nasal passages and loosen mucous membranes. However, it's less well known that peppermint tea is the most effective hot liquid. Peppermint oil contains anti-inflammatory and mild antibacterial properties that act as a decongestant.
Another genius item to have on hand: Neti pots. They may look odd, but these tiny teapot-esque contraptions come in very handy during an impromptu phlegm attack. How does it working? Using a mixture of warm water and salt, tilt your head to the side and let the salty solution pour into one nostril until it flows out the other. This helps rinse our your nasal cavity from any mucous that may have formed inside. Definitely odd feeling, but many people absolutely swear by them.
For those who simply can't shake their allergy attacks with OTC options, consider consulting your doctor for immunotherapy, a.k.a. allergy shots.. Allergy shots consist of a series of sessions in which an allergist injects small doses of allergens under your skin. This will allow your immune system to get used to substances you are allergic to and will result in fewer and less severe reactions.
This route is the most aggressive and time-consuming, and requires a serious commitment in order to see the end result. After a properly administered allergy test, you must commit to weekly shots for about 4-6 months. This is called the maintenance dose. If your symptoms improve, your doctor may increase the dose to better improve your defense against allergens. Allergy shot treatment can last as long as a couple of years, but can prevent allergic rhinitis from developing into something more severe, like asthma.
Preventative Measures
It should come to no surprise that the best way to deal with an allergy attack is to keep it from happening. While it's impossible to hide away forever, there are ways to minimize the effect of those triggers.
Pollen is probably the most common allergen that many can't stand. This may seem like a no-brainer, but shut those windows! Keeping outside air out and inside air in helps prevent those little yellow particles from sneaking inside. Pollen peak time is between late morning and early afternoon, so try to stay indoors during this time.
Keeping clean should also be bumped up on your to-do list. It's important to amp up your hygiene routine during allergy season — pollen and dust mites cling to our body and hair – and even beauty products like mousse and body lotion! So, be sure to hit the showers if you've spent time outdoors.
Lastly, limit the fabrics around your house. Carpets, throw pillows, sheets – basically anything made from cloth – are all magnets to particles that can trigger allergies, so it's best to get rid of these items. Of course, we understand there's some items you can't just toss, like bed sheets and couch fabrics. For those, keep them clean by washing them in hot water or vacuuming the surface. Keep in mind that there is no current cure for allergies, but with a heightened awareness and due diligence, you can minimize those sniffles, coughs, and tears.

the year 1876 next to Sparks' name is probably not the date of the Scherzo's composition but, I think, probably Sparks' date of death (it was fairly typical to write a date of birth or death in that place on that line at least at times, and this is an edition.) (No- PB/Peter B? Sparks' death date seems to have been in or after 1892.)

A 50-year-old Castroville man was seriously injured this morning following a crash in north Salinas, the California Highway Patrol said.
At 9:11 a.m., the CHP said, the driver of a 1997 Ford F-150 tried to turn left from northbound Highway 101 to westbound Espinosa Road and was struck by a 2006 Land Rover LR-3. The SUV was traveling southbound on Highway 101, they said.
The CHP said the driver of the pickup truck, who was not wearing his seatbelt, was ejected and received major injuries. They said he was ultimately transported to the Regional Medical Center of San Jose. The driver of the Land Rover received minor injuries, the CHP said. She was not transported to a hospital, they said. The 15-year-old passenger of the SUV was not injured in the crash, the CHP said.
The right lane of southbound Highway 101 was closed for about 90 minutes during the incident, they said. The California Department of Transportation helped with lane closure and traffic control, the CHP said.
Alcohol and drugs did not play a role in the crash, they said, which remains under investigation.

Then issue here is that data.stocks does not get the stocks objects as json. In my console, I put a breakpoint at the line

I am wondering why the callback function for success doesn't really get called.
Thanks for your help.

Ask the school board: Are Huntsville schools equal?
08/31/03Huntsville Times
Forty years ago, four Huntsville children were the first to break the race barrier in Alabama schools. In 1963, city leaders acted in defiance of Gov. George Wallace, who sent troopers to block the integration. In 2003, there are still all-white or all-black schools in Huntsville. The question remains: Can separate schools be equal schools?
Here's what the Huntsville school board says:
"I think most people are pretty happy with their neighborhood schools. I think people at Lee and at Johnson are happy. It's not like the old days when it was separate but clearly unequal. I don't think we have unequal." - Doug Martinson Jr.
"We've come a long way. We're not where we should be." - Topper Birney
"You can't have separate but equal schools. They are separate, but not equal." - Dr. James Dawson
"It's gathering by choice." - Jennie Robinson
"All we can really do is provide the equal opportunities. But we do understand that there are kids who need extra help." - David Blair

Ko Chang Noi
Travel Guide
Not to be confused with the far bigger and better known Ko Chang of Trat province in the Gulf of Thailand, little Ko Chang — or, as we have always known it, Ko Chang Noi — is a formidable destination in its own right. One of Thailand's quietest, most relaxed, and undeveloped islands, Ko Chang Noi makes up for its lack of sparkle with an artsy, laid back atmosphere you'll find nowhere else.
Don't expect luxury resorts and bus loads of short-term holiday makers but rather rustic bungalows and a unique community of artists, writers, and musicians who return for long-term stays year after year. If you like nature and reggae music — and are looking for an escape from the world — then Ko Chang Noi is for you.
The island took its name not from actual elephants living here but by the fact that, on a map, the island vaguely resembles the outline of an elephant's body. There may not be actual elephants roaming, but Ko Chang Noi isn't exactly small — its 18 square kilometers are filled with rugged forest teeming with wildlife, some impressive rocky cliffs and steep hillsides, vast stretches of largely barely developed beachfront, and picturesque rubber plantations and cashew nut orchards. Don't know what a cashew looks like while still growing on the tree? Come to Ko Chang Noi and you'll soon find out.
Virtually all Ko Chang Noi's accommodation is in the form of simple, rustic bamboo or wood bungalows. All but one solar powered resort runs its own generator, typically from 17:00 to 23:00 only, so don't expect hot showers, TVs, or even a fan. A comfy hammock, however, seems to come standard on the porch of most bungalows.
While it's possible to arrange diving trips through Cashew Resort's Alladin Dive Safari, fishing excursions through Eden Resort or Koh Chang Resort, and kayaking from most resorts, the majority of visitors don't seem to stray too far from their hammock. Snorkelling is possible but the waters are on the murky side so there's not much to see underwater. On the beach, daily yoga classes (at Cashew Resort), beach volleyball, and guitar sing-alongs are some of the more popular activities.
While Ko Chang Noi's beaches lack the squeaky white sand of other islands in the region, they are spacious and often empty, and the sand itself is a relatively fine light gold colour that still makes for photos that ensure your friends and family back home will be ever so jealous should you send them a shot or two.
Ko Chang Noi is largely a high season only island with the majority of visitors coming between November and April. During rainy season the island gets lashed with especially harsh storms and is one of Thailand's wettest areas. While several resorts stretch into the shoulder seasons of May and October, there are just a couple places willing to accept guests during the brunt of the rainy season from June to September, and at this time food choices will be very limited. The pass between Ko Chang Noi and Ranong can also be dangerous at this time of year so boats run just once per day, weather permitting.
Ko Chang Noi's main beach, Long Beach, stretches along the centre part of the island's west coast — if Ko Chang Noi were an elephant Long Beach would be the mahout's saddle on the elephant's back. St Matthew's Island in Burma is visible in the distance from here, and Long Beach is a splendid sunset spot. The beach comes to a rocky pinch at Koh Chang Resort before stretching another several hundred metres further north and ending at Crocodile Point. There are a few secluded beaches south and north of Long Beach, and a handful of low key resorts have taken advantage of the isolation, but if staying at any of these be forewarned it's a solid two to three kilometre hike to Long Beach.
A sporadically paved road connects Long Beach to the northern resorts and a small Thai Navy encampment, which looks more like a country retreat than a military post and doesn't affect the island's relaxed atmosphere in the least. Another small concrete road runs west to east, starting from Eden Resort at the northern point of Long Beach and running through a handful of homes and eventually to a proper but seemingly deserted pier on the island's east coast facing the mainland. This pier is apparently used only by the Navy and local boats that run during rainy season. Other than the pier the entire east side of Ko Chang Noi is uninhabited by people and filled with mangroves, rocky shores and a couple secluded beaches. A small Morgan sea gypsy village is tucked near the island's northern tip, which is only reachable by boat.
The longtail ferries that drop off visitors in high season typically disembark at Koh Chang Resort's small pier, but this seems to be inconsistent as we saw it unloading passengers on another part of Long Beach and at Hornbill Resort's private beach on different occasions. Small boats from the more isolated resorts meet the ferry to pick up those wishing to stay with them.
There are no 7-elevens or anything close to one, but Sabay Jai Bungalows on Long Beach has a small mini mart where basic necessities, drinks and snacks may be purchased.
There are no hospitals or clinics on the island but one doctor by the name of Arm can at least provide basic treatment for minor injuries and ailments. Arm may be reached at T: (087) 933 3644. If Arm's not around, or if it's something more serious, a boat to Ranong can be chartered by any resort on the fly. On that note, bring plenty of mosquito repellent — some big, mean mosquitoes come out every evening at dusk.
There are also no Internet cafés on Ko Chang Noi and virtually every resort's answer to the question, "Do you have WiFi?" was a resounding "No." One exception is Cashew Resort — the only spot advertising Internet service for 2B per minute — and Nature View Bungalows right next to Crocodile Point, which is solar powered and does run a relatively reliable Internet connection. Keeping with their chilled out style, Nature View didn't make it clear how much an hour of usage would cost but it probably will depend on the owner's mood. A few other resorts offer painfully slow AIS or dtac air cards that will, at the least, allow for an email to be sent.
While cell phone signal generally works on Long Beach itself, we did not get a signal at the northern resorts and even when stepping back into the trees off Long Beach the signal weakened considerably. There are also no banks or ATMs on the island so bring enough cash for your stay.

Singer Linda Ronstadt, recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, recorded ?Adieu False Heart? with Ann Savoy, who lives in Eunice.

It's not what you do, or how you do it. It's why you do it.
That's how Linda Ronstadt looked at her recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York.

|Plant Food Allergy in Patients with Pollinosis from the Mediterranean Area.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22832505 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Patients with pollinosis develop symptoms after intake of plant food more often than the general population. In order to study the prevalence of the presentation of allergic symptoms to plant foods in pollinosis, we selected a representative sample of the population from our Mediterranean area. Methods: All patients completed a questionnaire, provided a blood sample and underwent a battery of skin and other complementary tests (prick-prick, oral challenge test) when necessary. The pollen counts were obtained from the Elche pollen station. In addition, sera from a subgroup of patients were checked with an allergen molecule panel on an Advia Centaur XP platform. Results: Of the final sample (n = 233), 39.9% of the patients with pollinosis were sensitized and 30.9% had clinical allergy to at least one of the plant foods studied. Regression analysis showed that age and sensitization to the extracts of Platanus acerifolia and Artemisia vulgaris were the most important variables for discriminating between groups. Patients with pollinosis at a risk of allergy to plant foods had significantly higher Pru p 3 values [odds ratio (OR) 3.3; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.3-4.8], and the value increased according to the number of plant food sensitizations. Conclusion: Plant food allergy is more common in patients with pollinosis than in the general population. The use of the London plain tree (P. acerifolia) and mugwort (A. vulgaris) in the skin tests may help identify such patients in our Mediterranean area, but determination of rPru p 3 could also be very useful in patients suspected of having plant food allergy.

Proven chemistry.
Chlorine dioxide is the active ingredient in Aqua Mira, Pristine, and thousands of public and private water treatment facilities in the US and Europe.
Pre-mixed formulation: no wait time to activate solution.
Unlike existing formulations, the new formulation comes pre-mixed and stabilized, with an opened-bottle shelf life suitable for most expedition length events. Refrigeration extends the open bottle shelf life to about eight months.
The pre-mixed product solves the ease-of-use dilemma that is the primary criticism of other chlorine dioxide kits. Simply uncap the bottle, pour a metered dose into the cap, and empty into your water bottle. Wait times for disinfection are similar to other products, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes.
Formulated for multiple uses.
This formulation is a multi-use product with excellent applications for field first aid treatment and hygiene. Cuts and scrapes can be disinfected directly with KlearWater to minimize the chance for infection. It can be used in its concentrated or lightly diluted form for handwashing/disinfection, mouth rinsing/brushing, and fungal control on the feet and in areas prone to chafing.
Exclusive launch distribution to BackpackingLight.com Premium Members.
The new formulation will be available only to BackpackingLight.com Premium Members during its launch period. It is unknown at this time when BackpackingLight.com will make this product publicly available. "We expect the demand for this product to be outpace supply within our subscriber base," says BackpackingLight.com Publisher Ryan Jordan, "and it's very important to be able to put this product initially in the hands of our Premium Membership first, since they are very passionate about trying new products, and giving us their feedback in a short period of time. Then, we can take that feedback back to the manufacturer and adjust packaging, formulations, and usage guidelines before the product hits the mass market. We'll release our supply to the public after demand from Premium Members has been filled first."
Prepurchase Information.
BackpackingLight.com Premium Members may pre-purchase the new formulation beginning November 9, 2005. The first product is expected to ship around November 20, and will be available in 30 mL metering bottles and 50 mL refill bottles. Both kits will be packaged with assorted dropper bottles to facilitate ease of dispensing and reduce volume and kit weight required to take on short hikes.
A pre-purchase announcement will be sent to all active BackpackingLight.com Premium Members on November 9, 2005.

I think there will be much shorter shelf life. Shelf life for aqua mira is about two years, IIRC. Shelf life for KlearWater (guessing that is the name?) is eight months once opened IF refrigerated.

One question... how does 1mL to treat 1L in 15 mins. compare (in terms of volume) to the 5-8 drops (10-16 drops total) used to treat 1L in 15 mins. with Pristine? Does it works out to the same?

Don't know if it's been approved... but I would be inclined to think that if is HAS been approved by some regulatory body in Europe... the regulatory criteria are probably just as stringent if not more so than the EPA criteria would be. So it's a good question.

|Klearwater vs Micropur on 11/09/2005 11:12:23 MST
People really love to reinvent the wheel, I see. After reading the accompanying blurb from the "opening night" posting on the site for its "pre-release" to Members, I can only say one thing: The envelope, please... and the winner is Micropur. About the same price, about the same level of treatment (30 quarts)BUT not a water purifier as Micropur is and certainly not as light or stable. So why all the hype?

To be fair, both use the same active ingredient... so in cases where the water is very cold, longer treatment times are needed for both. Micropur and Klearwater have no advantage over each other in terms of treatment time.

The KW appears to be a perfect product with the exception of the glass container. I read that AM can be used to treat wounds on another site. Is this also the case with KW? If chlorine dioxide is good for wounds why don't we see it in stores for that purpose? Are there other uses for the liquid?

Week 12 injury news and analysis, part I
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Jaguars at Giants
Two of Jacksonville's most important offensive players, WR Mike Sims-Walker and RB Maurice Jones-Drew, are questionable because of an ankle and an abdomen, respectively. Sims-Walker didn't play last week because of his high ankle sprain, so it's a bit surprising that he practiced at all this week (high ankle sprains tend to keep players out at least three to four weeks). Sims-Walker was limited Thursday and Friday, which tells us one of two things – either he's an unbelievably fast healer or coach Jack Del Rio is using a bit of gamesmanship to keep New York guessing.
Jones-Drew has been on fire recently – he's accumulated 368 yards and three touchdowns in his past three games (he's also added 123 receiving yards) – and he's more likely to play than not. If not, look for Rashad Jennings to get more opportunities.
Though he's been awfully entertaining on his Twitter account since he was admitted to the hospital with back pain (he was released from the hospital Saturday morning), New York G Shawn Andrews is doubtful (Will Beatty will take his place). CB Will Blackmon is questionable with a chest injury.
Steelers at Bills
Once again, LB Shawne Merriman (who still hasn't played a game since signing with Buffalo) is out with an Achilles tendon injury. RB C.J. Spiller is questionable, but considering Fred Jackson (249 yards, three touchdowns) has been so good the past two games, Spiller's absence shouldn't have a huge impact on the offense (special teams might be a different story, though). The team doesn't want to play Spiller until he's 100 percent healthy, which he almost surely is not.
Pittsburgh only has four players on the injury report – WR Antonio Brown and DE Aaron Smith are out, TE Matt Spaeth (concussion) is doubtful and S Troy Polamalu (ankle) is questionable. Polamalu most likely will play. He played last week despite the injury, and the Steelers plan was to rest him early in the week and let him play Sunday (he was limited Wednesday and Thursday but had full participation in practice Friday).
Titans at Texans
If you formed a flag football team just out of the players that are listed as probable on Houston's injury report, you'd have a pretty good chance to win an intramural title. Those players include QB Matt Schaub, WR Andre Johnson, LB Brian Cushing and DE Mario Williams. Unfortunately for your beer-league dream team, all will be playing NFL football Sunday.
For Tennessee, Randy Moss still isn't listed on the injury report, which confuses me. If he's active and playing, how come nobody is throwing him the ball? If he was hurt, then it would make sense. Speaking of players who don't throw the ball to Moss, backup QB Kerry Collins – who will be the starter once again at some point – is questionable. But rookie Rusty Smith still is slated to the start at QB.
Also for the Titans, DT Jason Jones is questionable with a knee injury. DT Tony Brown (knee) also is questionable, but he's more likely to play.

10 Stories worth your attention Week 11
Posted by Andy Benoit
**Raiders punter Shane Lechler brought a strip of smelling salt with him on the field before every punt Sunday. That's what it takes to be arguably the greatest punter of all-time.
**The Chiefs lined up Mike Vrabel at wide receiver on one of their goal-line plays. Todd Haley must be shocked that defenses still don't respond to Vrabel when he lines up in goal-line offense. Putting Vrabel at wideout was probably Haley's way of pinching himself to see if this is real, if defenses still aren't alert. (For the record, Cassel's pass to Vrabel on that play was incomplete, as the wideout/linebacker had trouble getting off the jam of safety Kerry Rhodes.)
**Whoever suggests that Darrelle Revis has not been his MVP-caliber self this season is not paying attention. Two weeks after holding Lions star Calvin Johnson to one catch for 13 yards on four targets, Revis held Texans star Andre Johnson to four catches for 32 yards on nine targets.
**Why is the middle of the field brown and dead in San Francisco but outside the hash marks it's green and luscious?
**The FOX crew working the Cardinals-Chiefs game had a heck of a good time telling viewers that Arrowhead Stadium was as loud as a jet engine Sunday afternoon. My beef with this is, whenever we get these decibel level comparison things, I never know how close to the jet engine we're talking about. There's a difference between a jet engine that's in the sky or lifting off two runways over and a jet engine that is within arms length. So where, exactly, are we in relation to this make believe jet engine being talked about at all the noisy venues?
**For the record, I kept a close eye on both the Bucs-Niners and Cardinals-Chiefs games. The bits about the field color and the jet engine were the best either game had to offer.
**The Jets really missed right tackle Damien Woody Sunday (Mario Williams had a field day). Let's hope the veteran's MCL injury is not serious.
The Bengal defense's heart will be seen on milk cartons across the southern Ohio and northern Kentucky areas Monday morning.
**Panthers second-year running back Mike Goodson rushed for over 100 yards for a second straight week. And against the Ravens, no less.
**Kudos to Ed Reed for pitching the ball to Dawan Landry for six points on Reed's interception return. Why don't more teams pitch the ball in return situations? It's not like the offensive players-turned-would-be tacklers naturally know how to react to that….
**Just so we can touch on all 14 games from Sunday, I'll pass along the most substantial note I wrote myself from the Falcons-Rams game: Matt Ryan is excellent throwing off of rollout motion.

Maybe Jerry Jones should fire Phillips
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Earlier today, we brought you the Top Ten Halloween costumes in the NFL this year. Coming in at No. 4 was Wade Phillips, who we thought should dress up like Bernie Lomax from "Weekend at Bernie's," because, for all intents and purposes, he's a dead coach walking.
After Dallas fell 35-17 at home to a mediocre-at-best Jaguars squad today, owner Jerry Jones might have to rethink his policy about not cutting loose a coach during the middle of the season. Perhaps, he should make sure Bernie Lomax/Wade Phillips doesn't return next week for a sequel of an absolutely dreadful performance by the Cowboys.
They didn't show any heart. They didn't show any desire. They didn't show much of anything.
QB Jon Kitna, replacing the injured Tony Romo, tried hard and completed 34 of 49 passes for 379 yards and a touchdown (he's the first Cowboys QB not named Romo to throw for more than 300 yards since Drew Bledsoe did it five years ago). But first three of his four interceptions were the result of drops by his own receivers – one apiece by RB Felix Jones, WR Roy Williams and WR Miles Austin – and destroyed Dallas' chances on offense.
Defensively, the Cowboys couldn't stop QB David Garrard, who was a ridiculous 17 of 21 for 260 yards and four touchdowns, and RB Maurice Jones-Drew (27 carries, 135 yards). And you had to love the final Jacksonville TD of the game, a naked bootleg off the play-action fake in which Garrard just kind of strolled into the end zone to put his team up by 25 points.
So, if we're blaming somebody for Dallas' putrid effort, who do we point the finger at?
Unless you're in the locker room, who really knows? But I know who will take the blame and who will lose his job because of it. That'd be Wade Phillips.
This is what Boomer Esiason had to say on the NFL Today before the 1 p.m. games began:
"What happened last week (a 41-35 Cowboys loss to the Giants) lays at the feet of one, Wade Phillips. I'm sorry, that is the reality of this business. If you ask me, if they don't turn it around now, I think it's a foregone conclusion that Wade Phillips will be out of a job by the time the season end rolls around."
At this point, Phillips would be lucky to hang around that long.

Jags' Britton likely done for the year
Posted by Will Brinson
Jacksonville got whipped by the Chiefs (42-20 at Kansas City) on Sunday, but the news got even worse following the game -- it appears as if young tackle Eben Britton could be out for the season with a shoulder injury.
Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reports that Britton will have an MRI on his shoulder Monday, but that the time isn't hopeful and expects to lose him for the year with what is "probably" a torn labrum.
This is pretty nightmarish, not only because Britton's been playing pretty well recently, but because the Jaguars' biggest weakness on the offensive end has been their line, which hasn't been able to open holes for Maurice Jones-Drew or protect the rotating poo-poo platter of quarterbacks (David Garrard, Trent Edwards, Todd Bouman) enough to keep them healthy or upright.
UPDATE 3:30 pm ET: Britton has told reporters that he will likely have surgery on his injured shoulder. He suspects it's a torn labrum.

Jones-Drew X-Rays on wrist come back negative
Posted by Will Brinson
Great news for the Jacksonville Jaguars -- X-rays on Maurice Jones-Drew's wrist injury came back negative today.
That's according a very relieved Jack Del Rio (via our Jacksonville Jaguars' Rapid Reports), who was concerned because of MJD's reaction (read: loud screaming) on the field.
"He's (usually) pretty quiet out there," Del Rio said.
David Garrard echoed a similar sentiment.
"He comes out and it looks like his season was over the way he was screaming on the ground," Garrard said. "Then he comes back and is as tough as all get out."
Jones-Drew only left for a few minutes -- he returned to the field and seemed fine to play. Still, for a team that two weeks ago looked like they might just implode and move to Los Angeles, keeping their star player healthy on the heels of a two game winning streak is tremendous news.

A special win for the Jaguars
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
When Jacksonville PK Josh Scobee's 59-yard field goal barely sailed over the cross-bar as time expired and into the Jaguars mascots arms, the jubilation could begin. Scobee yanked off his helmet and ran screaming around the field.
"I've never been that excited to hit a field goal in my life," Scobee told reporters after the game, including Rapid Reporter Jim Nasella.
You can forgive his excitement. For a team that has faced much adversity this season – tepid fan support, a coach in Jack Del Rio whose backside was beginning to feel rather warm, a QB situation that is stomach-churning, a defense that hasn't been impressive and a squad coming off the worst back-to-back beatings in club history – beating the Colts was a moment of pure joy.
Much of the credit must go to RB Maurice Jones-Drew (26 carries, 105 yards, one receiving TD and one rushing TD), but QB David Garrard had quite a game as well. He was 17 of 22 for 163 yards and two scores, and he led the Jaguars on a last-minute, 59-yard drive that set up Scobee for the game-ending heroics.
"Jacksonville did a good job of controlling the clock,'' Colts WR Reggie Wayne said. "Nothing you can do, the guy (Scobee) boomed it.''
Plus, you can't forget the offensive line, which kept Garrard upright and shut down the Colts fearsome pass rush of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis.
More than anything, it was simply a special win for a team in desperate need of one.
"It was a great moment in that locker room,'' Del Rio said. "I said, 'Guys you want to savor this. You want to get together tomorrow and enjoy it.'"

In a typical ASP.NET Web Form application, request is mapped to a physical file as follows:
//Displaying employee by Id
As opposite to above approach, MVC framework maps request URL to controller as follows:
//Displaying employee by Id
In above example URL, "Employee" is a Controller. You can follow here to get complete understanding about Controllers and Action Methods in ASP.NET MVC.
The point to understand that how this mapping is performed in ASP.NET MVC framework?
Routing Engine in ASP.NET MVC
For mapping URLs to controller class actions, MVC framework uses a Routing Engine.
We can define Routing Rules for the engine, so that it can map incoming URLs to appropriate controller but default routing is already there for a newly created MVC application using Visual Studio.
If we create a new ASP.NET MVC application in Visual Studio and run it. We will have default page like the following:
Routing Engine uses routing rules that are defined in Global.asax file in order to parse the URL and find out the path of corresponding controller.We can find the following piece of code in Application_Start() method of Global.asax file.
01. AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
02. FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
03. RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
04. BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
Line 03 in above code snippet represents that routes are configured on application start by calling a static method "RegisterRoutes" in RouteConfig class.
We can find RouteConfig.cs file under App_Start folder in ASP.NET MVC 5 application. If we follow this method in RouteConfig class, we will find one default configured route as follows. Line # 03 to #07 is configuring one default route.
01. routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
03. routes.MapRoute(
04. name: "Default",
05. url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
06. defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
07. );
Line 04 => is the name for the route.
Line 05 => represent that URL will be our controller, then action followed by id (if any).
Line 06 => default controller will be Home, default action will be Index and Id is optional.
In above case, Routing Engine maps URL "http://localhost:11517/" to corresponding controller as:
- It looks for Controller Segment in URL which is empty, so it takes the default controller i.e. "Home".
- Then it looks for Controller Action which is also not there, so it again takes the default controller action i.e. "Index"
- Id is not provided and its optional, so Routing Engine will ignore it.
- http://localhost:11517/
- http://localhost:11517/Home
- http://localhost:11517/Home/Index
But if we wanted to access some other controller say "Employee", we will provide it explicitly as:
- http://localhost:11517/Employee
- http://localhost:11517/Employee/Index
How to apply Routing Constraints in ASP.NET MVC?
In certain case, we need to apply some validation on a defined route, for example, we might want to restrict Id part of a URL to numeric only. Such validations are called Routing Constraints in ASP.NET MVC. Consider we have registered following route:

A global environmental update
An Amazon environmental activist and his wife have been shot dead in Brazil, Al Jazeera reported. José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva, a rubber tapper, and his wife Maria do Espirito Santo were ambushed in the Amazon state of Pará. News of the killings came as the Brazilian congress wrangles over new laws that environmentalists say would reduce the amount of forest preserved from clear cutting.
In November, The Guardian noted, Ribeiro spoke of his determination to "protect the forest at all costs" from illegal loggers and cattle ranchers, adding: "That is why I could get a bullet in my head at any moment … because I denounce the loggers and charcoal producers".
As the Australian government struggles to win support for a carbon price, top scientists warned of dire climate change and called for the nation's energy sector to turn green, Reuters said. The government-appointed Climate Commission warned that major cities face a serious threat from rising sea-levels, while the Great Barrier Reef would suffer from rising ocean acidity.
Norway wants to channel billions of dollars to renewable energies in developing nations, officials told Reuters, building on a scheme to protect tropical forests to which Oslo has been the biggest donor. The world's sixth-ranking oil exporter wants governments and private investors to join a plan it calls Energy+ to promote green energies.
The Mississippi River crest has passed through the US south, but the misery caused by flooding is far from over, the Associated Press reported. Amid a massive clean-up, farmers will have to scrub their fields of sandy sludge before trying to use what's left of the growing season.
But the flooding could help Louisiana's fragile wetlands recover from last year's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to Time. Following the opening of two channels to divert part of the river away from New Orleans, sediment-rich waters are headed for the contaminated wetlands.
Meanwhile, The New York Times said, fear of a sudden thaw of the record snowpacks in western mountain states has US disaster experts on edge. As June approaches, the snow will melt -- mildly if conditions are right, wildly and perhaps catastrophically if not.
Turkish authorities say a May 19 earthquake rendered more than 2,000 homes uninhabitable in western Turkey, forcing nearly 7,000 people into tents, the Associated Press reported. Since some 18,000 people were killed in quakes in 1999 – with most of the deaths blamed on shoddy construction -- officials have struggled to enforce stricter building codes.
Hasankeyf, a town on the banks of the Tigris River dating to the bronze age, is facing the prospect of being flooded out of existence, The Guardian said, as Turkish authorities seek to speed up the Ilisu dam project. Legal challenges to the massive hydro-power project -- which would raise the river level by 60 metres -- continue.

The Chicago Housing for Health Partnership's Approach to Housing and Health Care Integration
One of the challenges of serving individuals experiencing chronic homelessness is effectively integrating physical and behavioral health services with housing. The Chicago Housing for Health Partnership (CHHP), administered by the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, was created to address this problem head-on. Beginning as a demonstration project with 405 of the most severely ill, individuals experiencing chronic homelessness from 2003-2007, the project has continued on and is now a permanent citywide collaboration between three public hospitals, 10 supportive housing agencies with social services, and two programs providing respite care.
The CHHP program works within those three hospital social work departments to identify individuals experiencing chronic and non-chronic homelessness who are severely ill and connect them with respite care or supportive housing immediately upon their discharge from the medical facility. Individuals are also identified through outreach workers at supportive housing agencies. Individuals are then placed into housing using a Housing First and harm reduction model of housing placement.
A study of CHHP, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reported superior results. Participants provided with permanent housing and case management using the CHHP system used one-third less hospital inpatient days and one-quarter less emergency room visits than those who relied on the usual system of care. The cost savings for the subpopulation of those living with a chronic illness, including HIV/AIDS, is significant: "evidence suggests that for every 100 chronically homeless individual housed will save nearly $1 million in public funds per year, and for 100 short-term homeless living with a chronic illness housed, at least $660,000 in savings."
For a fact sheet from the AIDS Foundation of Chicago on CHHP, click here.
USICH spoke with Arturo Bendixen, the Vice President for Housing Partnerships and the Director of CHHP, about what services are needed to best support individuals when they gain housing.
USICH: What have been some of the keys to success in the Chicago Housing for Health Partnership?
- Agency-level leadership: The leadership of CHHP understood that without agency-level partnerships and coordination, integrated care wouldn't happen. Case managers at each of these agencies do their best to create personal relationships with other agencies to coordinate an individual's care, but their caseloads are often very large and they simply don't have the resources to keep up. At both the case manager and client level, the work simply cannot be done effectively on an ad hoc basis. We brought together the executive directors of organizations that see these individuals most frequently in this agreement, and now they work together as closely as case managers coordinating their agency systems with one another. Instead of Agency 1 in partnership with Agency 2, they all are in agreement that they're part of CHHP. The silos are broken.
- Coordinating entity: The AIDS Foundation of Chicago served as the coordinating entity and oversight manager of the project. AFC was granted funds directly through both HUD's Supportive Housing Program and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). AFC then chose to subcontract with supportive housing providers with these funds. An agency with central control of funds for the project serves as the convener for the collaboration and ensures that all parties are indeed working together well. Coming from a grassroots service provider background, I understood that as a case manager or executive director of an agency you're often so overwhelmed that the last thing you want to do is come to a meeting. But although CHHP network members are not part of a legal partnership but rather of a very strong collaboration, partnership agency staffs come to weekly or monthly meetings since it is part of their subcontract with AFC. Making collaboration an expectation with a central coordinating agency is key.
- Keep collaborations small: If we tried to do this partnership with 20 hospitals and 50 or more service providers it definitely would not have been successful. Over and above a contractual relationship, the small collaboration allowed executive directors to have more collegial relationships with their counterparts than they may have had with a larger network. At the end of the year, or at the end of a month, when we report our successes on the number of individuals we were able to house and the improvements in their overall health, all the agencies felt that success together. This close relationship also helps keep the collaboration strong after many years.
USICH: What needs to be in place for an integrated network like this to work for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness?
Bendixen: There are really four things that need to be in place for an integrated system like CHHP to be successful in providing services to the most hard to reach, long-term homeless: a well-trained outreach team, shared documentation and assessment, day-in and day-out collaboration, and a commitment to Housing First and Harm Reduction.
- Outreach: This is one of the front doors for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness into CHHP– the other is through their admittance into a hospital. A lot of highly vulnerable individuals who have been on the streets for a long time have engaged with many providers over the years and don't particularly trust us. They've experienced our lack of resources and then having to go to so many different places for help, they just drop out of the system altogether. In order for supportive housing programs and health providers to engage this population effectively, they need to engage them where they're at. One of the most important things outreach workers need to be trained on is working with people to get all their paperwork together to help them get approved in housing quickly– their prescriptions, identification, medical records (if they have any), social security. All these documents may be difficult to track down, but training outreach workers on what precisely individuals need to get into supportive housing helps to speed the process along.
- Shared documentation and assessment: In order for all agencies in the network to really understand what is going on with a particular individual and for an individual to stay engaged, it is important that each agency has access to all documentation and assessment on the individual. A lot of the reason why these individuals may not trust the system is because every time they go from one place to another (e.g. hospital to respite care to transitional housing) they get the same assessment and are asked the same questions. With the ability for all network members to see medical records, for example, service providers at every step know precisely what health care each individual needs and plan accordingly. The Affordable Care Act will be able to improve this with the shared electronic records mandate.
- Day-in and day-out collaboration: Social workers from each hospital and case managers from housing agencies get together every week to discuss the needs and status of individuals they're working with, especially in the first six to 12 months that an individual is in CHHP. This in-person case review process helps to keep track of everyone each agency is working with and also continues to build the collaboration. Again, these folks saw themselves, not only as staff members of their own health or housing agency, but also CHHP case managers together with shared goals.
- Housing First and Harm Reduction: Success with this population of individuals who are severely ill and experience chronic homelessness doesn't work without both a Housing First and Harm Reduction approach. Simply put, without this approach CHHP would not be successful and we wouldn't be able to reach the people with the most need.

Razorback is back
The Razorback formation had its best showing of the season for the Cowboys.
Tashard Choice ran the ball four times from the Razorback. One of those was negated by a Deon Anderson holding penalty. But the first resulted in a 66-yard run and set up the Cowboys first score, a 36-yard field goal by Nick Folk. Choice gained 67 yards from the formation on the afternoon.
The Cowboys have run from the Razorback 12 times this season for 116 yards and one touchdown. That's an average of 9.7 yards every time Choice lines up in the formation.

There is some really nice color-blocking on this Vic Viper, by Kyubi. I really like how the white outlines make the rest of the colors really pop. Also, the details and textures that have been worked in here are really exceptional. Lastly, if you look really close, you will see some really cool parts-usage. Some of my favorites are the skis and ski-poles.

Mark Stafford does it again with this killer Vic Viper. The use of the train front is brilliant as is using the brick seperator for the tail. You also have to love those intakes. Really there is too much awesome here to list. It's just a sweet, sweet ship.
TX Supernova – A Symphony in Blades
This drop-dead gorgeous example of a Vic Viper is full of win. Nick V. has orchestrated something quite nice here. I love the color scheme and how the details pop from the center section. But most of all I love the use of the various blades all over this ship. It's probably the 'Castle' guy in me, but it really rocks!
A couple of Vic Vipers
My photostream is currently flooded with Vic Vipers so I felt impelled to post two that really jumped out at me.
Christoph Monnaie's (stenrtje) is loaded up with all sorts of awesome detail and greebly goodness.

This year's NnoVVember seems to have rolled in with more discussion and politics than most years…and let's be honest there always tends to be a fair amount of that anyway. But when you boil it down, this month is all about having fun and building some spaceships. And this my friends is a sexy example. Pascal is well known for the minimalist artistic style he puts into his builds, and that is exactly why I appreciate his work so much. Pascal continuously proves that you do not need an incredibly complex creation and abundant parts to create something unique, well designed and interesting.
His epic photographic skills certainly helps as well.
Happy building NnoVVemberites!
Keepin' it real for NnoVVember 2013 [Editorial]
The last stage of the sci-fi theme month trifecta is upon us. And NnoVVember is the original theme month. Started in 2008 by the late great Nate "nnenn" Nielson as a personal challenge to post a Vic Viper starfighter from the Gradius video game series for each day of the month. The challenge has continued each year since, and evolved into a yearly tribute to Nate since he passed away tragically in April of 2010.
Well this year is no different and we want to see everyone's contribution to the monthly build challenge. However, after some discussion in the Vic Viper flickr group, we want to make sure that everyone brings their A-game. The whole premise of these theme months is to challenge people to build things that they otherwise may not have. But it appears that they are starting to become just an excuse to try and get your build on the final poster/map. Now don't get me wrong, seeing people building, no matter the quality is great. But it does appear to be a trend in seeing submissions, that quite often by the builders own admission, are sub-par. People are rushing to either get as many builds as possible submitted, or scrambling at the last minute to get something added.
I saw this a lot during the Ma.Ktoberfest challenge, where people continuously posted builds and admitted that they didn't really think they fit the theme and typically that they didn't even fully understand what the theme was. I felt rather elitist when having to edit these submissions out, but at the end of the day, the information is out there. I know myself and the other organizers get a lot of satisfaction out of hosting these sorts of events, introducing people to a new theme and challenging them in their building. But if they are choosing to not look into the plethora of background information provided and/or interact within the group to learn from the active members, then that is no fault of my own. Rest assured that there is never a shortage of high quality builds, but I see this as somewhat of a slippery slope and I certainly don't want the trend to continue and in turn discourage others from participating in the future.
So with all that being said, for this year's NnoVVember let's honour Nate's memory the best way we can, let's see Quality over Quantity Nate always gave us top quality builds, so we should do the same for him.
2012 NnoVVember Map
Once again Pascal (pasukaru76) worked his magic with the final Nnovvember map. This year was a very impressive turnout of 269 Vic Vipers by 133 different builders! I actually found it hard to keep up with all the amazing creations this year…I am still playing catch up in fact.
Awesome job everyone and as usual a huge thanks to Pascal! It really makes me proud to be a part of such an amazing community that continues to come together from all corners of the Earth to remember and honour the late Nate "Nnenn" Nielsen.
VV trident a,b
In contrast to the helicopter I just posted, Bartosz Kacprzyk (the oneman) has posted a Vic Viper for Novvember that's so unusual it almost feels plausible. Those weird wings just have to be for something important.
Holy moly – Nick's Vic Viper has it all!
I actually avoided featuring Nick Trotta's (tardisblue) model over the weekend and hoped one of my cohorts would do it first…I simply didn't know how to properly express how cool this build is! But they didn't so I guess I can nolonger avoid it.
So instead of trying to put it into words, I will simply make note of some of the descriptive words that were posted on the photo:
Beautiful, Spectacular, Perfection, Gorgeous, Mind-blowing, Fan-freakin'-tastic, Wonderful, & Zowie!
And perhaps, Fredoichi summed it up best:
"Best of show, period!"
Inside the box...
There are a lot of zany Vic Viper designs out there, but it is really nice to see a good ol' classic design every now and then. Uspez Morbo has produced one such spacecraft with his BP-8272 Stealth. It is a perfect example of how you can stick close to a design while still giving it a personal twist. The colouring, sleek lines, and overall girth make this one beautiful looking starfighter…the little hits of red really make it pop for me!
Uspez is no stranger to large scale starfighters, as this wonderful trio shot showcases!
Be sure to check out the full photo set for all the details including working landing gear and smokin' hot engines!

We all love a little sweetness in our lives. While I've found that I personally don't do well with too many sweets or overly sweetened baked goods, I have found that I better tolerate lightly sweetened desserts that employ natural sweeteners like maple syrup, coconut sugar, or unrefined cane sugar — and they're delicious too! Once your body has been weaned off a typical refined sugar filled diet, your taste buds can enjoy many delicious recipes that use minimal, unrefined sweeteners.
Things got a little trickier when we found out that one of my daughters and I are very intolerant to eggs. But thankfully, we were able to find some beautiful recipes that are modestly sweetened and egg-free. Here are a couple of noteworthy ones.
Thin Mint Cookies: These drool-worthy, chocolate-covered cookies are a delicious treat, and they contain much less sweetener than a typical cookie. They are gluten- and egg-free as well!
Paleo Egg-Free Macaroons: We tried out this recipe for egg-free macaroons recently and loved them! They are sweetened with only a fairly small amount of maple syrup and are full of healthy, fiber-rich coconut flakes and flour. We will definitely be making these again.
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies: These allergy-friendly, coconut flour cookies (pictured above) are gluten-, grain- and egg-free, and are sweetened with a small amount of honey. Enjoy without guilt. I find these best warm.
Pumpkin Spice No-Bake Cookies: These paleo cookies are plump with good-for-you ingredients and don't use eggs.
Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies: These unique cookies are made with a base of soft plantain, coconut flour, and arrowroot powder, and then sweetened with a modest amount of coconut sugar. They sound delicious!

I think it depends on what kind of entertainment you have in mind. If it's just movies, one pc with two sound cards (or two video cards, depending on the board) should be enough. Now if each screen are going to run a videogame, then yes, it's better to have two pcs.
Note that if one screen is browsing the web while the other is playing video, each time the guy playing video touch the screen (say FF a video), it will steal focus from the other screen. The mouse pointer will be gone, until the screen is touched again. Not a big problem, but the other guy/kid may not expect that. If he is using a mouse, though, he may click somewhere on the video screen no knowing what he is doing, etc.
