The Life of Zora Neale Hurston
Wrapped in Rainbows
The Life of Zora Neale Hurston
Wrapped in Rainbows, the first biography of Zora Neale Hurston in more than twenty-five years, illuminates the adventures, complexities, and sorrows of an extraordinary life. Acclaimed journalist Valerie Boyd delves into Hurston's history -- her youth in the country's first incorporated all-black town, her friendships with luminaries such as Langston Hughes, her sexuality and short-lived marriages, and her mysterious relationship with vodou. With the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, and World War II as historical backdrops, Wrapped in Rainbows not only positions Hurston's work in her time but also offers riveting implications for our own.

The Life of Zora Neale Hurston
Discussion Points
1. Valerie Boyd's Wrapped in Rainbows describes Zora Neale Hurston's early years as an imaginative young girl. What were some of the ways in which the young Zora was able to hone her talents for creativity and art within the confines set by an irascible father? How did Hurston view her father and her mother as she grew toward adulthood?
2. What were the different dreams that Zora had as a youngster, and how did they compare with reality? What was the significance of them in her life, her writing, and her interaction with others?
3. Zora Neale Hurston viewed education as a stepping-stone to greater opportunities. Who were some of the people she encountered who assisted her in her pursuit of higher education? Why, later in her academic and research career, was she drawn to anthropology as well as to literature? How was her work interdisciplinary, combining the scientific and the creative?
4. When Hurston arrived in New York during the Harlem Renaissance, she seemed to be in the right place at the right time. What significant events took place that ushered Zora Neale Hurston into the black intelligentsia, allowing her to work with so many talented black artists during the 1920s?
5. Having grown up in the all-black southern town of Eatonville, Florida, Hurston reacted differently to racism than black Americans raised elsewhere. How did this manifest itself see more

Persian cooking is distinctive with flavors of pomegranate, funegreek, preserved limes, barberries, sour cherries and nuts. Lots of lentils and rice, and plenty of eggplant and garlic are often part of the mix. Don't forget the more familiar baklava with all varieties of native nuts between many layers of pastry sheets moistened with honey. Once I get the urge for these unique flavors I just gotta have 'em.
So when my lunch date cancelled the other day, I kept my plan to eat at Parmy's Persian Fusion in the East Village, NYC. A recent review in the NY Times got my motor going and I couldn't shake it. Continue reading

London-based toymakers Papafoxtrot create objects you'll want to hold on to well past childhood. Their spacecraft and satellite models, replicas of the Cygnus, the Geotail and the ORS-1, are each made entirely of wood, the company's specialty.
While dogs can fall asleep just about anywhere, there aren't many spots as alluring as a couch cushion or a human bed—two places our four-legged friends might not be welcome. Mr Dog presents a beautiful solution: a pet-dedicated mattress-cushion hybrid in a charming cabbage rose floral pattern. Inside, shredded latex and cotton rag lend it durability and firmness. And as it is for pets, an array of features (from the urethane moisture wicking coat to internal air vents) make it a durable and lasting product.
There's something rather classy about reaching for the time and pulling out a pocket watch rather than a mobile phone. Developed in the 16th century, these devices were the most popular form of time-telling all the way until WWI. People Products makes clear that they don't have to be a relic of time long passed. Their premium Axcent Pocket Watch (made of stainless steel but in a bronze colorway) sports a Japanese Miyota 9T22 movement at its core, but it's the sapphire crystal and brass hands that make it so alluring. It's a minimal design but sure to impress.
On the days when you don't want to bother with sunblock or sunnies, hats are the next choice in keeping the blinding sun at bay. Letting the breeze through and catching a few looks along the way, Cult Gaia's made-in-LA 90210 Mita Visor is a style that defies what typically comes to mind. A fun leafy print and fabric ends (for tying into a bow) add personality to the sporty vibe.
Those tiny plastic baggies sadly let the whole world know you've got good weed. Stash the precious bud away from mooching roommates in this gorgeous California-made Golden Snitch orb, available at Sweetflag. The new online shop is fully of beautifully designed smoking accessories—think black obsidian pipes, hand-forged brass incense burners, coconut-flavored rolling papers—that look impeccable long after the joint's done.
The very logically named Dinosaurs Smoking Weed Coloring Book is just that—and even comes with crayons. Full of pictures of stoned and smoking dinos, the book also offers a little trivia on how each creature enjoys getting high—whether via bongs or vaping or smoking joints. Delightfully embracing the absurd, this book blends a very adult pastime with a delightfully childish one.
M Gemi's Salotto slip-on shoes, crafted by talented Toscana artisans who use the highest quality materials, can be paired with casual shorts as easily as with suit pants. With a nappa calfskin upper and an all-leather lining, these shoes feature a cross-hatched pattern that makes the simple style a little more flashy—without going overboard. The rubber sole is sporty and offers comfort, making these some of the most versatile shoes in your collection.
Super-comfortable and lightweight, this Made-in-USA looped terry tank is just right for the weather that the Northern Hemisphere is finally being blessed with. A neat but casual piece, the tank takes on less dye thanks to its blend of yarns—meaning the result is subtle and appears almost inside-out.
Toronto-based Shelter Bay—just founded in 2015—offers hand-welded steel wire cages and elegant spun steel shades (plus a combination of both) to pair with lightbulbs for a beautiful design occasion. The flare cage reminds us of a billowing skirt, and is available in copper, white, pearl black—and the crowd favorite, the unique multi-colored aurora finish.
Boxing might not be the first thing that comes to mind when looking for cannabis associations, but Bleecker Street's Overthrow Boxing Club—housed in a space formerly known as the alternative culture Yippie Museum—makes for a worthy link. The location played host to the founding of High Times Magazine by Tom Forcade, and was the headquarters of the Legalization Movement. Yippie Alice Torbush, who frequented the space, designed the pattern featured on these limited edition gloves, which clock in at 16oz and can handle heavy bag, sparing and mitt workouts.
If you're only smoking or consuming cannabis, you might not be unlocking all of its health-improving potential. Apothecanna's Mile High Gift Set allows for direct-to-skin application of marijuana's healing wonders through five different body lotions. With a mix of herbal ingredients like peppermint, juniper, chamomile, lavender and more, each creme targets something specific: pain relief, stimulation and more.
After successfully crowdfunding their Alert Umbrella, Davek New York is back on Kickstarter with the Alert Mini and Alert Grande. The two new models are built from the same DNA as the original (which packs a tracking chip into an incredibly sturdy yet sleek design) but also provide additional sizes for a range of weather (and storage) conditions. An update to their dedicated app now also reveals the umbrella's last known location. Now campaigning on Kickstarter.
Combining two of their favorite designs (the Meadow Mat and Mayfly Chair), the team at Alite Designs has created a perfect outdoor seat, allowing you to recline chaise-lounge-style. Part picnic blanket, part chair, the Meadow Rest is waterproof and easy to set up and pack away. It's also (importantly) super-light, so it's easy to bring along on any camping or beach adventure.
Part of Arca's Trapezium collection, this buffalo horn-inlaid ashtray takes inspiration from a symmetrical trapeze. Arca handcrafts the shimmering toking accessory in Italy, using a unique heating process that draws out the horn's individual grain to tantalizing effect. No matter what you're puffing on, it's sure to elevate the entire experience.
Art meets science in all types of cooking—but maybe especially so when cooking with cannabis. With over 100 recipes for everything from breakfasts to cocktails, this book is more than just a cooking guide. There is also information on the many varieties of cannabis flavor profiles so cooks know which strains will work for what recipes, as well as tips on processing, storing and preserving the special ingredient.
Partnering with Adidas Skateboarding, West Coast retailer BAIT envisions the ultimate sneaker for stoners: the Stan Smith Vulc "Happy." Stitched together from natural hemp and adorned with an earthy all-over pattern, the weed-themed shoes even feature a medical marijuana prescription label reading "high-potency superior quality." And inside: a secret stash pocket.
While a sudden downpour can result in wet feet or a bad hair day, it can also destroy one of your most expensive possessions: your laptop. Rains' "Cary Bag" is a clean, simple and classic laptop sleeve (made for a 13" Macbook or similar) that features two compartments and also happens to be waterproof—complete with a waterproof zipper. The case is available in black, blue and soil, but our pick is the muted olive green.

- Fabrication and mechanical properties of steel-steel composites

- Pugh, Martin; Sun, Shoujin
- Abstract
- Metal matrix composites based on a low carbon steel matrix reinforced with high carbon steel wires have been fabricated by a combined cold and hot rolling process. Both continuously and discontinuously aligned composites have been produced. A subsequent heat treatment allowed the formation of martenisitc, bainitic or pearlitic wires in a ferrite predominantly matrix. The optimum wire microstructure giving a composite with high strength and reasonable ductility was found to be bainitic — martensitic wires were found to contain microcracks that gave poor composite strengths and ductilities. The discontinuous wire composites produced similar strengths to the continuous composites only when they were deformed to give a wire aspect ratio greater than 20. The strengths of both types of composites showed a good fit to the rule of mixtures as the volume fraction of fibers was increased.

Ameda ComfortGel Hydrogel Pads - 2 Pads
- Product Review (submitted on October 13, 2009):
You need some kind of hydrogel (any brand really) if you're going to try breastfeeding. I would not have made it through the first week without them. They're good for a few days, so you'll need more than one pair. Ask for a pair before you leave the hospital. I think I ended up going through three or four pair. I have also seen another brand at a big-box retailer.
These feel wonderfuly cool and soothing on red, irritated skin. And they help heal. The lactation consulant who gave me my first pair told me to store them (in their packages or a plastic bag to keep them moist) in the fridge and use them several times a day.
I am so thankful that these were available to me. The first couple of weeks are really difficult, but if you make it through them the pay off is amazing. Use these and whatever pain reliever they send you home from the hospital with (it's safe for breastfeeding). Get a good lactation consultant and these gel packs. Best of Luck.

As I meet with people throughout our council, I have been asked why I, or we, did not respond to the editorials and stories about the recent verdict against the Boy Scouts in Portland.
At the court's direction, we have been, and continue to be, restricted in communications about this case. Because this matter continues, the Judge has asked that the Boy Scouts of America refrain from comment on the specific allegations.
However, I must comment and respond to the mischaracterization in a recent editorial (in a different publication) that we are not concerned about protecting youth.
As a movement Scouting does care very deeply about the safety of our members and all youth, and always has. Abuse is a huge problem in our society. According to Childhelp.org there are 3.2 million reported abuse cases in the United States every year. We are one of only a few agencies that has a rigorous, nationwide system of background checks of every registered volunteer leader and employee — conducted through an independent service — which attempts to keep out of the program those individuals who should not be leading youth.Because that is not enough, and we do genuinely care about all children and not just our 4 million current members, abuse education is part of every youth handbook and part of every adult leader training course. Parents and leaders are taught to recognize abuse and children who are being abused wherever it occurs in our community. Youths are taught to "recognize, resist, and report" whenever they come upon an abusive situation in their lives. In Scouting meetings and activities this training and our enforced policy of "two-deep leadership" is designed to eliminate opportunities for intentional and unintentional abuse and to keep our kids safe as they conduct Scouting activities.
Lists that are maintained by the National Council, especially prior to the availability of nationwide background checks and the sharing of data by law enforcement agencies, were not "secret." Almost everyone in Scouting involved in any aspect of registration of leaders knew they were there. The contents were kept confidential however to protect innocent victims. Until very recently in our country there was little or no sharing of information among the states and among law enforcement agencies. A person could commit an illegal act in or out of Scouting — that might be assault, might be abuse, might be embezzlement, or whatever disqualified him or her from a leadership role in Scouting — and then move to another state. His or her record did not follow, and there was no system to let the new community know. In an effort to prevent an individual who was deemed ineligible in one community from becoming a Scout leader in the new community, adult registrations were compared to that list by our national registration service. If there was a match, the local council would be called to see if it was the same person. If it was, that registration was denied. By the way, in 31 years as a BSA employee, including eight years on the national BSA staff, I have never heard the list called "perversion files." It was always called the "confidential list" or the "ineligible volunteer file."
Over 100 years of our existence, being a Boy Scout has had a positive effect on the lives of more than 100 million young people. Parents across the nation and their sons attend Cub Scout and Boy Scout meetings run by more than 1 million community volunteer leaders who do what they do because they really do care about these, and all, young people.
I urge you to take a look at http://scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx and see what we are doing.

This waterfall is a descending flow of water through the mountainous landscape around Hogwarts Castle that can be seen from the Quidditch Pitch. In 1995, Harry Potter came out near here to reflect on the fact that Voldemort had returned.[1]
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry flies over this waterfall when being chased by the Hungarian Horntail.
- There is a scene in Goblet of Fire, where Harry was sitting on a stone near the waterfall while Ron and Hermione confront him. This scene was deleted from the final cut for an unknown reason. However, that scene is featured on the ending cutscene of the respective video game.

With the cooler weather and the change of the seasons, a lot of folks have started using their furnace. Most of the time, this is safe and uneventful. However, recently carbon monoxide poisoning has become a story. Turning on a furnace that isn't working correctly has killed one man and another is in critical condition due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is a toxic gass that you can't see, taste, or smell, and robs your body's ability to carry oxygen through your blood. The carbon monoxide attaches itself to the hemoglobin in your bloodstream. Because of this, oxygen can't attach itself to the hemoglobin, thus depriving your body of oxygen. You eventually go to sleep and usually do not wake up... This is such a sad deal, because it can very easily be avoided.
A carbon monoxide detector costs anywhere from $15 to $30 depending on the model. Some speak to you when the level of carbon monoxide gets to high in your home, and may tell you to get out of your house or seek fresh air. Others just simply alarm, and let you know that there is a problem and that you should seek fresh air.
When I go speak to schools, I spend some time and talk about carbon monoxide poisoning, just as I would talk about the dangers of lightning. The kids seem to get the importance and most say they will ask their parents if a CO detector is in their home. I am addressing some 5th graders tomorrow and will stress this again, and hope I can save some lives by educating.

An effective leader is a person capable of inspiring and managing a group of people of different backgrounds and interests to achieve the common goal of a company, an organisation or an institution.
Effective leadership is about the ability to make right decisions and put them into productive action by involving all stakeholders.
"A leader is the kind of person (with leadership qualities), who has the appropriate knowledge and skill to lead a group to achieve its ends willingly… A good leader provides the right climate and the opportunities for these needs to be met on an individual basis and this is perhaps the most difficult of a leader's challenges. Leaders must also inspire others," says John Adair in his book, The John Adair Handbook of Management and Leadership (2004).
We are aware that no person is born a leader and so leadership qualities and skills have to be developed to cope with emerging needs in society.
The Tanzania Global Development Learning Centre (TGDLC), in collaboration with Leading Initiatives Worldwide of Sydney, Australia, will on February 13-17, this year, organise a face to face leadership development programme (gLOC) in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia. The programme is meant to equip leaders with the courage and means to lead others in the right direction taking into account that we are living in a multicultural world.
"This is a unique tailored, interactive and dynamic five-day capacity building programme for executives. It is designed to address what a leader needs to do to achieve success," reads part of TGDLC's statement.
The programme takes into account the challenges brought about by globalisation and technological advancement for nobody lives in isolation and the world has become like a big village.
"It utilises cutting edge technical and pragmatic methodologies, case studies and practical applications and is based on the experience and expertise gained from over a decade of achieving leadership success globally. Participants are given supportive feedback and coaching togain maximum learning from the programme and fellow participants and will have an exposure to a multicultural environment," it reads further.
Leading others towards success is not an easy task because leadership everywhere demands more than what leaders themselves can offer.
In fact, it demands an open, critical mind and firmness to withstand emerging challenges. The leadership development programme targets leaders and managers from the public and private sectors interested in sharpening their leadership skills and delivering better.
"TGDLC programmes are designed in such a way that participants share their experiences and learn from their colleagues to improve their work. It is an opportunity for Tanzanians and African to learn from what is offered and shared to make a difference in one's working habits and life in general," said one of the participants, Yussuf Ahmed from Masaki, Dar es Salaam. Ahmed attended a similar programme last year and happened to meet this reporter at the TGDLC offices.
In developing countries like Tanzania, we still need leaders who, according to Mwalimu Julius Nyerere: "are able to see our problems as we see them and feel bad about them as we do". In other words, we need leaders with the ability to know about pressing issues and do something about them and not those, who have a tendency to dodge or postpone them.
Speaking about political leaders he had this to say: "The present generation of leaders have not only to deal with the effects of the economic realities about which most of us knew very little, they have also to do so when the expectations of the people are higher than the general understanding of what is happening and why."
This is part of his speech he delivered on leadership and the management of change at
the Quinquennial General Conference of the Association of Commonwealth Universities in Ottawa, Canada, on August 17, 1998.
What Nyerere meant was that it was impossible to tell people what to do if their basic needs were not met. The first thing to do, he said, was to address, their problems concerning food, water, shelter... In other words, it is impossible to lead hungry people before one does something about the hunger.
This can be interpreted in other sectors as well. If you want to see how leadership is difficult to handle, ignore or postpone people's basic needs or pressing issues!
Some people start showing leadership qualities from a tender age. If such people happen to serve in leadership roles can perform wonders.
But even these ones need to learn about leadership skills and interact with others otherwise they may end up being frustrated and disappointed especially, when they are misunderstood, challenged or rejected because of their gender, ethnic group, political party or belief system they belong or subscribe to.
In this regard, leadership development is necessary for acquiring more leadership skills and be effective. Achieving or internalising leadership skills needs focus, practice and persistence in learning how to lead others.
Investing in upcoming leaders is critical to sustain a competitive advantage and achieve corporate growth over a long-term period. So, the leadership development programme is meant to equip managers with core skills they need to excel as multifacetedleaders in today's world of science and technology.
We have come across a variety of leaders – for some, we want them to continue even after they complete their tenure of service for we believe they were the right choice for the job they have been doing and the services they have offered and we think there will be no one to compare with and we want them to extend their tenure of service.
For others, we regret to have them as leaders. These are among those who, after serving for some time, forget about what they are supposed to do and start serving their personal interests. Many African states suffer from this type of leaders, who often turn against their own people and embezzle national resources.

DOT discusses changes for East Buena Vista Avenue and Atomic Road in North Augusta
A proposed future for a pair of North Augusta's busiest roads was the central topic at a Tuesday event at the North Augusta Community Center, as representatives of the Department of Transportation visited to address proposed changes to East Buena Vista Avenue and Atomic Road.
The two roads, also known as a portion of S.C. 125, have been identified by the Augusta Regional Transportation Study as "an area in need of operational improvements," as stated in a DOT handout.
Intersection improvements are at the proposed project's core.
"This includes providing turn lanes and improving turning radii to accommodate the present and future turning movements," according to the handout.
Kevin Gantt, a program manager with DOT, was among department employees on hand to field questions and hear from the public on local historic or cultural resources.
"Right now, we have a two-lane section that we're going to widen to three," Gantt said, "and then when we turn and go up Atomic Road, we'll make improvements there and have a multi-lane path and also sidewalks on either side of the road."
Plans are to take public input from the North Augusta event, reconcile the comments, acquire the necessary rights-of-way and begin construction early in 2014.
Roads to be possibly affected, via their intersections with S.C. 125, include Victoria Lane, Brookside Avenue, Riverside Boulevard, Mealing Avenue, Burnside Avenue, Metz Drive, East Martintown Road and Old Edgefield Road.
Attending the informational meeting was Skip Grkovic, who retired in 2011 as North Augusta's director of economic and community development and is now serving as a project manager.
He described the development as "the biggest improvement to this end of North Augusta in a very, very long time, especially for the people who live down there."
Grkovic pointed out that the proposed improvements for Buena Vista and Atomic Road projects have both been on the long-range plan for transportation improvements for at least 20 years. "The two were reduced in scope and combined to make it easier to get it done."
Increased traffic is a major motivator, as is the desire to have more sidewalks and a greenway section, with bicycle transportation being accommodated in the process. For comparison, he cited a side-trail on Knox Avenue, offering an option for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Recommended improvements are based on a DOT traffic study from May 20, 2010, with consideration given to current traffic volume and turning movements as well as those that are forecast to be in play in the year 2032, according to a DOT handout.
Information from the event, including diagrammed aerial photos of the areas to be affected, are available by visiting www.scdot.org/inside/public_hearings.aspx.
Comments can be sent to Gantt by mail (SCDOT, P.O. Box 191, Columbia, SC 29202), fax (803-737-1510) and email firstname.lastname@example.com.

And actually can do something about it in a pretty reasonable amount of time. The only downside is that the cardpool is currently feeling a little limited because of how factions and class type works, there isn't much variety in the game yet in terms of each faction + class.

AURORA - Students at Overland High School in Aurora are coming to defense of a math teacher whose Twitter page contained half-naked photos of her.
Carly McKinney, 23, was placed on administrative leave Tuesday after 9Wants to Know started asking questions about the CarlyCrunkBear (@crunk_bear) Twitter account.
McKinney is in her first year as a math teacher. She's still in her probationary period.
Related Story: Cherry Creek teacher with half-naked Twitter pictures put on leave
Some students don't think she should be punished for what she does on her own time.
"It's a teacher that's only five or six years older than our oldest students, so we kind of relate to her on a personal level," Shaun, an Overland High School student, said.
The students have taken their protest to Twitter where "#freecrunkbear" has become a popular tag amongst the students.
Whether Ms. McKinney ever returns to the classroom is yet to be decided. It's frankly out of the hands of the students. But they're still hoping to send a message.
Other teachers say they support McKinney's right to free speech and don't think she should be fired for it. They do think what she did was not smart, and it has become a distraction in their classrooms.

Virgin Media Inc Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (VMED)
TheStreet) -- Virgin Media (Nasdaq: VMED) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- VMED's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 8.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 5152.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 106.06% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Turning to the future, naturally, any stock can fall in a major bear market. However, in almost any other environment, the stock should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed nice gains in the past year.
- VIRGIN MEDIA INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, VIRGIN MEDIA INC increased its bottom line by earning $14.23 versus $0.37 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($154.83 versus $14.23).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Media industry. The net income increased by 5691.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $74.65 million to $4,323.36 million.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Media industry and the overall market, VIRGIN MEDIA INC's return on equity significantly exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Mayo Clinic provides concussion testing for athletes at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.
Concussion testing assesses your brain and thinking (neurocognitive) function before and after a trauma. Concussion testing is one of the tools doctors may use to evaluate and manage your condition.
Concussion testing is a brain function (neurocognitive) test that evaluates your brain's current thinking (cognitive) function. The test, also called baseline concussion testing or neurocognitive testing, is conducted to determine your current level of brain function.
This test may be repeated often, especially in younger athletes whose brains develop and change over time.
After a concussion, testing may be repeated and compared to the previous test to determine whether a change has occurred, and the extent of the change. It can also be used as a guide to determine when the brain has recovered from a concussion.
Baseline concussion testing is often available using computerized tests. Computerized baseline concussion testing offers a fast, efficient way for many athletes to test their normal brain function, or baseline level of function.
All Mayo Clinic campuses offer online cognitive tests for baseline concussion testing. The tests take about 15 minutes to complete. Athletes or parents can choose to share the results with their doctor, athletic trainer and other health care providers.
In the days and weeks after your concussion, the computerized concussion test may be repeated several times. This test is one of the tools that doctors may use to determine when your brain function has returned to normal. Doctors may use this test and other tests to decide when you may be able to safely resume normal activities.
However, if tests show your brain function has returned to normal, but you're still experiencing symptoms from your concussion, then doctors will advise you not to return to sports until your symptoms are gone. Although many concussions resolve quickly, some athletes may experience symptoms for weeks, months or longer.
After you've had a concussion, doctors will also review your history and symptoms and perform a neurologic examination to test your balance and other brain functions. A doctor trained in brain and mental health conditions (neuropsychologist) may assess changes in brain function.
An integrated team of neurologists, neuropsychologists, sports medicine specialists and others will evaluate you and manage your symptoms. Your treatment team will determine when you're able to return to sports, school and other activities.
If you continue to play or return to play too early after a concussion, there is a significant risk that you may experience another concussion. A second concussion while the initial concussion is healing can result in fatal brain swelling (second impact syndrome).
Repeat concussions can take longer to heal. Also, repeat concussions have a higher risk of causing permanent nervous system (neurological) damage.
Children, teens and female athletes may be at a higher risk of concussions than are others, and their recovery may be longer.
Individuals who have had a concussion should not return to play or activities until all symptoms have ceased and they have been seen by a health care professional with expertise in evaluating and treating people with brain injuries such as concussion.
Watch Mayo Clinic neurologist David W. Dodick, M.D., explain the concussion testing program at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. Also watch Dr. Dodick and other Mayo Clinic doctors discuss autonomic tests and concussion management, return to play after a concussion, and concussions and women.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Doctors trained in neurology, sports medicine and other areas evaluate and treat people with concussions at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Concussion experts from the United States, Canada and Europe as well as representatives from the NHL and USA Hockey gathered to develop an action plan to reduce concussions in ice hockey. In a published article, experts made recommendations regarding action items to reduce concussions. Ice Hockey Summit II: Action on Concussion is scheduled to take place Oct. 8-9, 2013, at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Comments On Apr 21, 2008:I bought these tires to put on an 87 Honda TRX 250X Fourtrax. It has been used and abused, but it is still a good little machine. I needed a good set of relativity cheap tires, but something good enough to keep up with all my friends. I replaced the old bubble tires that were on it. I was amazed at the difference. That little machine has got some SNAP to it when you have some tires with a little bit of bite. I have not taken it out on the track yet with my friends, but I am itching to get out there! They are a GREAT set of tires for the price.

Comments On Mar 05, 2008:We put these on a 300ex. Pitched the old rounded tires and made the quad much more stable and safe when aggressively attacking turns.

Comments On Nov 01, 2007:Picked up a pair of these to replace the "bubble" tires on the back of a blaster. By looking at the picture, I was concerned the amount of knobbys might be low, and that the surface area of the tread might be too rounded. Once they arrived, I was relieved. Plenty of knobbys, and a nice, flat contact area on the ground. Very good "all-around" tire. Enough traction to get up the hills, but enough slip to swing the back-end around a corner too. If you're looking for a good tire to cover all kinds of terrain, this is a good choice.

|This article concerns content exclusive to Mists of Pandaria.
- The Mantid people were once deemed a threat so great that the ancient Mogu who ruled Pandaria dedicated several generations to the construction of a zone-spanning wall solely to keep them at bay. Yet, the insectoid Mantid are no hive mind. They are intelligent creatures who organize themselves by caste, and claim total obedience to an Empress of their race. They are the builders of elaborate cities that range across Pandaria's steppes. It is the manner of these cities' construction that makes the Mantid so dangerous.
- The cycle of Mantid birthing and building revolves around the Kunchong, a colossal insect large enough to threaten whole towns by itself. The Mantid revere this enormous creature, and when instinct compels it to stampede throughout the continent, eating earth, trees, and lakes, they follow behind, collecting the amber-colored resin it secretes, birthing their young and creating their homes in its wake. If other races' homes are trampled by the Kunchong, it is of little consequence to the Mantid. Where the Kunchong's shadow falls, they walk. Where they walk, the land is transformed.
The Mantid are a race of insect-like creatures native to Pandaria. They bear a strong resemblance to preying mantis but unlike some insect races in the world, such as the Silithid, they do not operate with a hive mind. They are sentient beings, capable of constructing tall crystalline buildings and mastering weapons. Hidden behind the Great Wall for millenia, they swarm into the continent periodically, prompting the Pandaren people to drive them back. This time, however, they have started their charge a century early, driven by some mysterious force and catching the pandaren off guard. They are first encountered by players within the Valley of the Four Winds.
It is unknown currently what dungeons or raids they will be found in, though it has been mentioned they will play a major role in some of the upcoming raids. Due to their proximity to the Stormstout Brewery in the Valley, they may play a role in that dungeon.[1][2]

The camel escaped in the unincorporated community of Acton and was reported chasing cars shortly after 8:30 a.m., Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said.
"My dad ... tried to catch it and it must have cornered him or something, and it took off after him, bit him on the head and knocked him down and stomped on him," Skylar Dossenbach told KCBS-TV. "He crawled under something and the camel tried to pull him out from under it."
Her father was hospitalized and needed stitches for a gash to his head, she said. His name wasn't immediately released.
"A neighbor came out and saw the commotion and got the camel away from him," Dossenbach told KABC-TV. "And the camel actually started chasing them, and they had to jump in a car, and the camel was running around after everybody."
Dossenbach said she finally ended up capturing the camel.
"I just put a halter on him, fed him a treat and he calmly walked down to my round pen and I corralled him," she said.
The camel was seized by animal control officials because the owner does not have a permit and because of the injury, agency spokeswoman Betsy Webster said.
The owner could be cited for endangering residents, sheriff's officials said.
Dossenbach said the camel and other animals, including a buffalo and an ostrich, previously escaped from the owner's property, which she described as a zoo. There have been as many as five escapes this year, she said.
Dossenbach said she believed no one lives on the property but a caretaker comes by daily to feed and water the animals.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Last night's late vote in the House of Representatives on the fiscal cliff deal contained some key economic provisions.
And 'punted' on others, setting us up for more wrangling on spending cuts and the size of the budget down the road. But for now who are the winners and losers?
Jim McTague, the Washington Editor of Barron's Magazine, talks to Anita Brikman in the studio.

Love the vibrance and the hand-drawn style. There's a lot going on in this map, but it's still totally legible and clean. Dig!
Yes, very attractive, and I love the colors. The rivers could be a bit more tapered, but otherwise I really dig it.
Quite nice? Don't be silly, Sapiento. It's not quite nice. It's awesome! Great atmosphere, wonderful painterly style ... you've outdone yourself on this one, simple yet elegant. Very, very well done.
And he says "quite nice." Pfft.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen!
I'm happy that you find this piece so good. I hope I can come up with similar maps in the future.
Great piece Sap - looks very mid-evil too.

Hunting opens this weekend in Balance of State Zone
The Department of Fish and Game has estimated more than 50,000 shotgunners visited the fields in 2010, hoping to bag a duck or goose for the dinner table.
The northeastern zone for waterfowl hunting opened Oct. 8, areas such as the Klamath wetlands. Good gunning traditionally is found in these northern regions but isn't popular with many in the South Placer County population because of the distance.
However, the season that opens Saturday, Oct. 22 — the Balance of State Zone, which comprises the majority of the north state — is highly popular, and hunters have been chomping at the bit to get started.
But most waterfowl hunters know that when the season opens, the gunning isn't all that great. There are local birds winging around, but the greatest number of ducks and geese are still throughout Canada, Washington and Oregon, and it will take several strong storms to drive them south. In some cases, they won't budge from their comfortable digs until they either run out of feed or snow covers it.
But, those days will come, when the sky turns black with millions of waterfowl arriving in California.
The few birds that were seen on a recent run up and back past Delevan and Sacramento Wildlife Areas along Interstate 5 were a tiny fraction of what will be.
Additionally, many rice fields remain unharvested, and while harvesters are going strong, some fields are still green and not ready for harvesting.
State and federal refuges were given a one-week reprieve from opening due to the late rice harvest, and the same should be true for many private clubs, which can't flood the fields until the rice has been harvested.
So, the bottom line is, if you're a waterfowl hunter, hang in there.
The Balance of State Zone is another liberal, straight, unbroken season that will run until Jan. 29, 2012. Duck limits will be seven per day, and in that, you can have seven mallards, of which there can be no more than two hens, two pintails, one canvasback, two redheads and three scaup. With geese, you're allowed eight per day, of which that limit may include six snows.
The Sacramento Valley has special restrictions on bagging white-fronted geese. Their season runs from Oct. 22 to Dec. 21. The bag limit is two per day. The possession limit is the usual double of the daily bag limit.
Current fishing
Temperatures are cooling, and so are the waters. That will bode well for numerous fisheries. There are several choices for you to find fish for the table.
Eagle Lake: While the surrounding territory, which includes the lake, is under the purview of the Bureau of Land Management, it was the state department Water Resources Control Board that decided Bly Tunnel would be permanently closed, and the WRCB is ordering the BLM to cut and weld shut the pipe to render ineffective any water leaving the lake, downstream into Willow Creek.
In the meantime, the center of the lake — around Spaulding Tract — is showing early action for those anchoring in the shallows and floating a night crawler under a bobber. As the weather cools, the action will improve until the weather is freezing. The lake closes to all fishing Dec. 31.
Folsom Lake: The lake is being dropped to winter storage levels. Lower water levels will make finding concentrations of bait on your scope easier. Watch for underground structures, such as rock piles. Because the water hasn't cooled, most bass still are found in deeper pockets, so keep your eyes peeled for concentrations of bait and then toss dartheads or drop-shot. Crawdad or shad patterns should attract a bite.
Lake Amador: The weather and water has cooled enough for lake management to start dumping big numbers of their homegrown cut-bow trout into the lake. The catching hasn't yet caught up with the thousands of pounds they're putting in, but it soon will where big stringers will be hauled out. Leave the boat at home, as some of the best action is from the shore. The trick is to not fish too deep. Besides the trout, crappie have been biting around the boat docks and bass all around the lake, but no lunkers have been seen.
Lake Davis: The last storm left nearly a foot of snow around the lake so not many anglers were out. The storm moved out of the region, and everything has warmed enough so the early snow is gone. With the cooling weather and water, trout can be mainly found no more than 15 feet down and most little flashy lures or even a threaded night crawler should easily get you bit. There are still hatches, so those fly fishing are finding a willing bite around Mosquito Slough and Cow Creek.
Ice House Reservoir: Fishing has been slow, but a recent plant should help greatly. Further up the road at Union Valley, the lake level is down to under 70 percent. Kokanee are done, and the only action you might find is deep trolling around the dam for mackinaw. Further again up the road at Loon Lake, snow stopped immediate access, but the road should again be open and the toplining should be wide open.
American River: With salmon fishing still occurring in open ocean waters and inside San Francisco Bay, the action continues to be good in local waters and looks like it will keep going for a while. Those with drift boats are back-trolling something like a K-5 Kwikfish throughout a major portion of the river. If you want to beat a great deal of the boating traffic, you can fish at night from the mouth of the American at Discovery Park upriver to the Interstate 80 Bridge. There also is the fall run of "half-pound" steelies. Soaking roe or drifting eggs can get you bit. Half-pounders is a misnomer, as some fresh-run steelhead can hit five pounds.
