Mary E. Sullivan
Thank you, Kelly. Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for being here with us. We're a third-generation family-led business. Our headquarters for both the corporate office and the retail company's in Corpus Christi, Texas, and our wholesale division is headquartered in Houston.
Our roots go back 75 years in the fuel distribution business, and we've changed quite a bit since then. Today, we think of ourselves as selling convenience. I'm going to start off by saying don't think of us as a typical gas station that you might see up here. We've got a few pictures up here of some of our new stores. Stripes is our proprietary brand for our convenience stores. You see that they're larger than what you might be used to up here in this area. One nice thing about those large stores is we can incorporate our fresh food program, which we call Laredo Taco Company, that's currently in about 63% of our stores. Steve will talk about it a little bit in more detail, but it is wonderfully delicious, it's spicy and it's good value, so our customers love it.
We also have a network of independent operators of convenient stores that buy fuel from us under long-term contracts. So example is the Chevron station you see up here on the top left would be one of our dealer-operated stores.
So our network currently is about 1,140 stores. That would be 600 Stripes stores. We just opened 1 yesterday, and 353 now have that restaurant offering inside of them. We have over 580 branded convenient stores that are in our dealer network. So again, they're buying their fuel from us under long-term contracts, but they're operating the actual convenience store side of the business. And additionally, we have over 1,600 active commercial customers, which buy fuel from us. This could be municipalities. It's unbranded convenient stores, it's businesses, it's anybody that has a tank on their property that they buy fuel from -- by the tank load when they need it.
We think of ourselves as almost $1 billion of merchandise and $1.4 billion of gasoline every year of motor fuel, even though our revenues are approaching $6 billion.
Our EBITDA last year was $183 million. When we went public in 2006, our goal, as we told investors, is we wanted to double our EBITDA over the next 5 years, but we not only exceeded that. We've actually more than tripled our EBITDA over the last 6 years, so very proud of that.
We're also very proud of our record of growing our same-store sales by -- same-store merchandise sales every year for the past 24 years. We think it's imperative that you're growing that top line because you know you're going to have the inflation in the middle of your P&L.
We are very much a growth company, we have been and we still think of ourselves that way. We grow in 3 ways: First, we want to grow same-store sales every year. Second, we want to build new big-box retail stores every year, like the ones we've been doing. We, so far, have built over 145 of those. And occasionally, we're going to make a selective acquisition. Now, in our retail business, most of that company was built through acquisition, but now that we've continued to improve our portfolio, we're going to be pretty selective on what we buy because we want it to be accretive, not only financially but operationally. We have done 13 acquisitions over the last 24 years. Four of those doubled the size of the company, so we're certainly not afraid of a big deal, but our company is also pretty adept at managing that change.
We have grown through acquisition and through organic growth, both our revenues and our cash flow, over the 12 years you see here by a compound annual growth rate of 20%. And it would also be 20% if I'd done this graph on a 15- or 20-year basis.
So our footprint today covers 4 states in the fast-growing Southwest, and we're grateful to be so heavily positioned in Texas. It's certainly one of the reasons for the strong performance of our company. So here, we've got the red diamonds are our retail locations, and then the blue dots are our wholesale locations. These are the contracted dealer locations.

Permit Questions
How much are permits and when will they expire?
View permit fees and expiration dates
What color permit do I need to get on Balknp Campus?
If you are commuting to campus, you may purchase a Purple or Purple Plus permit for parking at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. The purple plus permit grants access to one additional lot directly across the street from the stadium shuttle stop. Green permits allow parking on campus for students with 90 or more credit hours. The largest Green parking lot is on 3rd Street south of Eastern Parkway. There is also green parking off Brook Street and in the Floyd Street Garage. If you are a resident on campus, you may purchase a Yellow or Orange permit based on your residence hall which allows parking in the dormitory or commuter parking lots.
What time can I park without a permit?
Free parking is available after 7:30p.m. daily and on weekends. Exception to the rule are the handicapped and Yellow and Orange resident parking lots, which are enforced 24/7.
I wasn't able to get the parking permit that I wanted. A) A friend does not need theirs any longer and I would like to buy it. Can I buy it and use it as my own? Or B) I found a permit on the ground. Can I keep it and use it?
No. The only person who may use a permit is the person to whom the permit was issued. All permits are non-transferable. If you are caught using a permit other than your own, you could receive a costly citation and have your car impounded, not to mention losing your parking privileges. The best thing to do is return the permit to Parking Services.
Why can't I buy a permit per semester?
Permits are sold on an academic year basis. If you leave the University before January 31st and return the permit, you can get a prorated refund.
I lost my permit. Now what do I do?
Visit the Parking Services office between 7:30a.m. and 5:00p.m. You will need to fill out a report declaring the permit lost and then you may purchase a replacement permit for $20.
Oops. I found the permit that I reported as lost. Can I still use it?
Absolutely not. Once a permit is reported lost, Parking Services marks the permit invalid. Any vehicle displaying a lost permit will be fined and impounded. Please return it to the parking office.
Can you park in the Floyd St. Parking Garage with a Green permit?
Yes, you can gain entrance to the garage at the traffic light between Warnock and Brandeis Streets. Enter on Floyd Street by swiping your permit through the card reader.
Can I trade down to a Green permit if I move off campus next semester?
Can I trade up to a Yellow permit if I move onto campus?
Yes, you may. You will either pay the difference for upgrading your permit or be refunded the difference when you move down to a lower-priced permit.
Can I put my permit in another car?
Yes, permits are transferable from vehicle to vehicle.

Bank of America's CEO Should Follow Pandit: Street Whispers
TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C - Get Report)'s firing of CEO Vikram Pandit shows that bank boards may finally be taking their responsibilities seriously, so maybe Bank of America (BAC - Get Report)'s board will step up to the plate and dump their CEO, Brian Moynihan. Bank of America shares have lost 37% since Moynihan took over as CEO in 2010--while Citigroup shares are up roughly 10% over the same time period. While most of Bank of America's problems stem from the acquisition of Countrywide in 2008, which can't be pinned on Moynihan, he hasn't been able to convince the market he's got his arms around the problem. He also hasn't been able to clearly articulate his strategy for the bank going forward, which is the reason a major investor in the shares and a prominent analyst who covers the company can't agree on what it is.Also, as longtime Bank of America shareholder Jonathan Finger of Finger Interests points out , Moynihan could shed some additional light on whether Bank of America has considered putting Countrywide into bankruptcy and why it hasn't gone that route. More important, though, and also noted by Finger, is that Bank of America's brand is in the toilet, and management seems to be unconcerned about this issue. In order for Bank of America to rebuild its consumer business, it will need to find a way to counter its image as a sleazy, inept corporate monolith that screws up people's paperwork and chucks them out of their homes. Since Moynihan can't seem to figure out a way to do that, Bank of America's board needs to find someone who can. Finger doesn't want to see Moynihan get the boot as he believes it would just be a distraction at this point. There are also concerns about whether the bank could find anyone qualified to run it. But now that the housing market is rebounding, turning around Bank of America seems far easier than it did just a year ago. Attracting outside candidates ought not to be so difficult. Look at AIG (AIG) and the remarkable job Bob Benmosche has done turning around that institution. Before Benmosche was brought in to lead AIG, no one would've believed anyone qualified wanted that job either.NEW YORK (

ladies need your input...thx
I've also heard of putting yogurt in your vag. Seriously. I've never personally done it but I heard it helps balance the good and bad bacteria.
Diane |mommy to| Drake Preston {9/3/2009} Paris Jade {11/5/2014}

I would check with your doctor but when I was pregnant they told me to use the monistat cream 7day treatment it sucked but it went away.

Me + DH = James 11/10/10 and Aubrey 03/27/13
I agree with PP. Go to your doctor. Yogurt does help with prevention along with cleansing and fresh cotton undies. No need to put it in your vagina, just eat the yogurt. I just bought the greek yogurt because it has the active cultures.
Ebony+ Vasel Jr. = Vasel III
Are you saving cash with Ibotta, Ebates, & Snap by Groupon?
I went to my Dr. two Weeks ago discussing this issue with my Dr. he gave me an off brand of the 7day treatment it did clear up ...but I relized as of 3 days ago it has returned....I'm becoming flustered cause I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My Dr. wouldn't prescribe the the pill Dyflucan because for pregnancy it's a class C medication that may or may not harm the fetus....I may seek another opinion from a different Dr. ...

Heart Murmur in puppy. Concerned?
My 11 week old new puppy just came back from the vet and she said he had a stage 2 heart murmur. Our 15 month old golden had a stage one and it went away on it's own. The vet started talking about EKG's etc if it doesn't go away. Should I be concerned about stage 2? Please share your experiences and knowledge if anyone has had their puppy diagnosed with a stage 2 murmur.
Have you talked to the breeder? Did his parents have their hearts cleared? That would be my first suggestion, contact the breeder (if you can) and find out what they suggest. I'm not sure what/how the heart issues in goldens work but I know there are problems and they should have clearances done on dogs used for breeding.
I've dealt with heart problems in humans though. My son was born with a heart defect, had to have surgery as a baby and has a moderate murmur now - in general people have no idea till I say something or they notice his scar (or zipper as we call it). He has the green light to do anything he wants and he's very active, has had a few scares but overall is fine.
I'm pretty sure if you didn't notice anything he likely should be fine, but it might be an idea to get it checked out anyhow in case there's meds or something they can use.

There are several here with dogs with murmurs (Maggie's Mom for one) ..... hopefully they'll chime in soon.

Puppies can out grow them and if they do its usually by 16 weeks if under a 2. Anything over 3 they dont out grow. Cruiser has a grade 3/6 left basilar systolic murmur,has had it since he was 3 months old. The echocardiograph was done at 6 months old and the findings included mild subaortic stenosis(sas) and regurgitation at the aortic valve. His pressure gradients across the stenosis was less than 35mm which is very mild. His prognosis for a happy normal life is good. He will be 2 in March and weights 83 pounds, he is to go back for another echo at 2 years of age..I was told that after the age of 2 the chances of it getting worse is very slim at a grade 3 . He is on no meds and he lives a normal happy life with my other goldens.The specialist said there is no limits on what he can and cant do.

Whenever I hear about puppies with a heart murmur, I think of Cruiser. By looking at him running, wrestling and playing you would never know he has a murmur. Talk to a cardiologist for your piece of mind but dont let it get you down to much and hopefully he will outgrow it.

Here is Cruiser chasing one of my other dogs.....and Cruiser wrestling with Abbie..... I wouldnt worry yet, your dog might out grown it still. If not its not a death sentence. Cruiser doesnt miss a beat and keeps up with the others.

Yes, both parents have all their clearances including heart. Thanks for all of your replies. I am in hopes it will start to fade as he gets older. You would never know it as he is the energizer bunny!
When we brought him to his first intial checkup, the vet said he had a mild grade 1 murmur. She told us the exact same thing, that he may outgrow it but if he doesn't by his 2nd set of shots than we can do an ultrasound or ekg. At his 2nd set shots the murmur was still there and seemed to sound a little clearer. At this point I wanted to go to a Board Certified Cardiologist who is an expert in this situation...As vets only do the tests and send them off to a cardiologist anyway.
So we got referred to one by our vet, and had a chest ultrasound done. At the end of it all. The Cardiologist told us that he has Mild Mitral Dysplasia, and that's what is causing the murmur. It will be with him for life, but will not get worse. The Cardiologist said that it shouldn't affect him, and if it ever does it only will when he's a Senior.
So my suggestion is don't worry, it's not the end of the world. And there's a good chance that it's nothing. I suggest waiting and if he doesn't grow out of it, then go the same route as me and see a board certified cardiologist. They will figure out EXACTLY what's wrong.
This sounds so similar to my pup who's 19 weeks now. Maybe we got our pups from the same breeder
My Tinkerbell has severe SAS it was first diagnosed at 9 weeks and confirmed at 6 months, her murmur is rated a 4.5 - 5 out of 6. As I'm sure you were told the higher the number the worse it is, so it sounds pretty grim in fact we were told she wouldn't live to see her first birthday. But Tinkerbell will be 3 in June. And is thriving. Heart conditions do not have to be life threatening.
Here is a link to a thread that gives Tinkerbell's story as well as several others.
Marsha & Tinkerbell
If she still has it at 16 weeks...I would suggest skipping the vet and going directly to a cardiologist to get an Echo. My thought being, that if it is not the more common SAS. You will get your answers more quickly.
Liberty has a grade 3. It first presented at 6 months....she had been clear in all of her puppy visits....Her murmur is from a structural defect not SAS. The cardiologist had to really work to find the defect. Liberty is not on any meds and lives an active life.

Flat-footed when it should be fleet, scary when it means to be exciting, and only intermittently emotionally effective, "The Tale of Despereaux" does a disservice to Kate DiCamillo's well-regarded children's book. Despite a lustrous look that mimics Flemish masterworks and a pedigreed voice cast, this computer-animated fantasy is more ordeal than enchantment. Its heavyhearted aura and lecturing, moralistic tone may fly over the head of young sprouts content to sit mindlessly before the screen, but more sophisticated kids will quickly grow restless.
Matthew Broderick speaks the role of Despereaux, a soft-spoken mouse who scandalizes his peers by openly conversing with humans and reading books rather than gnawing on them. Yes, we are in a fairy world of twee bland mice.
Despereaux lives in the Kingdom of Dor, a mystical place with a soup-based economy whose doleful monarch lives in perpetual gloom. His Queen died in a soup-rodent mishap, and the grieving King has outlawed soup and rats. This rankles the rat Roscuro (Dustin Hoffman), who wants to leave the darkness of sewers and cellars for the light of the streets above.
Meanwhile, Despereaux, lacking the timidity of his fellow mice, forms a friendship with Princess Pea ("Harry Potter's" Emma Watson), a flaxen-haired beauty with the faintly misty, spiritual expression often associated with missing contact lenses. Lumpish chambermaid Miggory Sow (Tracey Ullman) envies the princess' life of luxury. When Despereaux's trespass into the world of humans is discovered, the mice exile him to the dank, virulent rat world, where he is threatened with death by cat before an arena of bloodthirsty cheese-nibblers. Roscuro plots revenge on the King by provoking resentful Miggory to kidnap the princess. Valiant Despereaux must swing from a spool of thread, wield a needle like a swashbuckler and evade snappish mousetraps to save the day. While that may sound like vibrant adventure in summary, these episodes hang limp on the clothesline.
With two directors and three credited screenwriters, this is a clear case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. The film takes significant liberties with the Newbery Medal-winning storybook, none of them helpful. The filmmakers add a clumsy framing device to open and close the action, clothe the tale's animal characters in an act of absurd prudery and invent a new, humanoid vegetable creature just to show off their visual effects capabilities. The film comes at you like an armload of pots and kettles clattering down the stairs.
The personal tone of voice that distinguished the book is reduced to overexplicit narration by Sigourney Weaver, underlining every authorial insight three times in red ink. And the point -- that people of all stations in life find true happiness in the love of their families -- carries a different emphasis when the story is told in visual terms. The moral of this fable seems to be that pretty girls deserve to live in castles and that coarse-featured, broad-beamed girls should be happy slopping pigs. Hans Christian Andersen's stories were authentically grim and terrifying, but it's not often you encounter children's entertainment so glum.

all mesh = awesome
this is a great summer tent for a family; it's large with all mesh on top.
the rainfly is bomber if protection/privacy are prioritized over star-gazing.
surprisingly not that light, thought it would be lighter due to all the mesh. At any rate, it's a great car-camping tent and is fine packing in, but if you're gonna mostly be backpacking there are better options.
zipper is one-handable, simple setup.
They stopped making it but if you get it used it's a great tent, and anything similar that Marmot makes is great I'm sure, they make the best tents imo.
Sierra camping
camping w the fam below Mt. Conness, an easy hike in to this spot.
Kings Canyon NP
car camping above King's Canyon, the deepest canyon in the US.
Great Tent for 3-4
Great Tent for three to four people. Really great ventilation. Nice interior pockets and gear loft. Also, enjoy the vestibule the fly creates. Would be fine to backpack with if you split the load between two people. Something to consider, we found this tent to be best for cool to warm camping as it is so well ventilated. Great tent, don't hesitate to buy it.
Marmot also created a demo video that is available on this page or on youtube to watch. Gives you a great picture of this tents features.
Marmot Hideaway 4 person tent
Best 4 man tent
We got this tent for prolonged trips where the 2 man tent couldn't comfortably fit us 2 and all our gear. I couldn't be happier with it! It's lightweight for a 4 person tent and splitting it up into 2 is manageable- it's a great "basecamp" tent. I wouldn't take it backpacking with just one other person- but this is perfect for living in for a month. The rain fly is awesome- I've been caught in some crazy week long rainstorms and we stayed dry, and our neighbors did not. The windows seemed cheesy on the rain fly but they are actually pretty nice. This tent is extremely easy to set up and quick- and the fact it comes with a gear loft and footprint is awesome. The vestibule is really nice because it's easy to get in and out of, and provides a good amount of shelter. Highly recommended.
Specs are Wrong
I love Marmot tents and just want to clear one thing up. The peak height on this tent is 50" and the dimensions of the floor are 90" x 90". This is definitely decently light for a 4 person tent. If you go with a few people and split this up it totally manageable.
Marmot Hideaway 4P
Marmot's own Curly takes you through the Hideaway 4P Tent.
Good afternoon, I am currently browsing...
Good afternoon,
I am currently browsing to look for a family base camping tent preferably 4 persons and up. I am 6'1 so, height would be a factor. I have a Eureka 3 person backcountry tent, but I need something bigger. What are your thoughts on this product? I am considering the Marmot Halo 4, Marmot Hideway 4, or Sierra Designs Wu Hub 4.

Brigade treats community to hauntingly good time
November 14, 2012
"The Haunted Hotel was an idea we had last year to give something back to the community," said Col. Dennis Sullivan, 2nd Brigade Combat Team commander. "We wanted to do something fun for our Soldiers and Families, and open it up to the entire Fort Drum community, particularly the Families of our deployed brigades."
And as the daylight of Saturday was slowly replaced with a blanket of icy black night air, more than 150 volunteers crawled and crept into place, under darkness, bringing to life all that goes bump in the night.
"Some of these volunteers have been working for over two months to put on a first-class event for people of all ages," Sullivan said. "We took the old Fort Drum Inn … and transformed it into the Haunted Hotel."
Those attending said they enjoyed the opportunity to socialize with others at the event.
"We are having a really good time. It is nice to meet others outside of work in a relaxed atmosphere," said Pfc. David Morris, who is assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd BCT.
"This is a good opportunity to meet the Soldiers my husband works with as well as other members from our community," said Blakeley Morris.
While thrills and chills might have some participants all in goose bumps, others settled for something less spine tingling and walked their younger ghouls, ghosts and goblins through Alice in Zombie Land, an amazing maze of wonder and excitement.
Soldiers, Families and civilians who needed a break from all of the excitement could warm up inside the concession tents, where they could devour devilishly delicious treats sold by the battalion's family readiness group members and sample more than a dozen different types of chili brought in to be judged in this year's chili cook-off.
"I am excited and pleased to see all of these people sampling the different types of chili," said Sarah Cotter, FRG adviser for 210th Brigade Support Battalion. "We could not have done this without the volunteers; I am truly grateful for their help."
Members from the battalion's FRGs were not the only volunteers who made this event happen.
"The Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff has provided tremendous support for us, and we would not be able to do this, to this scale, without their resources and partnership," Sullivan said.
With the chill shaken from their bones and bellies filled to the gullet with frightful treats, spectators could finish off the night with a visit into Werewolf Woods that took the experience of the Haunted Hotel outside.
In the end, organizers declared the event a scary success. The command wished to thank all of the volunteers, FRG members and post agencies who helped to make the event possible.

Let's face it, dudes named Lester have never had it easy. Lester Kasten, a quite depressed-looking individual from Maryland, was pulled over north of Klamath Falls, Ore., yesterday, supposedly with 30 pounds of marijuana in a suitcase in his Jeep. But instead of going quietly, Oregon State Police say he thought dousing himself with lighter fluid and striking a match would be better.
Firefighters were able to extinguish Kasten and his Jeep rather quickly, and he wasn't seriously harmed.
From the look of his booking photo, in fact, Kasten may have only applied the lighter fluid to the top of his head.

Acupuncture has been a community-based medicine for most of its long history. In Asia, acupuncture has traditionally been practiced in group, rather than individual settings. For acupuncture to be most effective, patients need to receive it frequently and regularly -- far more frequently and regularly than most insurance plans will pay for, or most patients can afford to pay out-of-pocket.
Chinese herbal preparations my treat both acute disease such as colds, flus, gastritis, and food poisoning; and chronic issues such as allergies, GYN and digestive disorders, thyroid and adrenal issues, and degenerative disease due to aging. Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture work hand-in-hand to not only treat physical and mental symptoms, but to bring the body, mind and spirit into balance by addressing the root causes of disease.

Clearing up 3 Single-Country ETF Misconceptions
If you have a view about the prospects of a certain country's market, it's easier than ever to express it using an exchange traded fund ( ETF ). The number of so-called single-country ETFs - ETFs focusing on companies based in one particular country-on the market has exploded in recent years.
Currently, there are about 150 such funds in the U.S. market, nearly 30 of which were launched within the last two years and about 50 of which were launched over the last three years. The funds span 38 countries and multiple sectors and currently count roughly $83 billion in assets. Here at BlackRock alone, iShares now offers 54 such funds, up from 29 five years ago, and roughly 40 three years ago.
Yet despite these funds' growing availability and popularity, misconceptions about them still abound. Below, I attempt to debunk three of the misunderstandings I hear most often.
Misconception: Single-country funds are all small and niche.
Truth: While some single-country funds are small and niche, a number, like those representing the broad Japanese corporate market, are huge and attract a large number of investors. For instance, the iShares MSCI Japan ETF ( EWJ ) has roughly $14 billion assets under management, and the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund has roughly $11 billion. These two ETFs are the largest single-country ETFs as measured by assets.
At the other end of the spectrum, extremely niche single-country ETFs representing complicated investment strategies (think " inverse " and " leveraged ") or representing countries that not many investors want to access are much smaller. The iShares MSCI Capped Finland ETF (EFNL), for instance, has just $37 million under management. In short, not all single country funds are created equal.
Misconception: There's no reason to invest in single-country funds if you're already invested in broad international emerging market and developed market funds.
Truth: There may be additional tactical exposures you'd want through a single-country fund, and you may even want to rethink your broad exposure approach and consider a single-country approach instead.
Take what's happening in emerging markets, for example. As the BlackRock Investment Institute pointed out last year in a paper on investing in emerging markets , disparities among emerging markets are growing fast, as economies and financial markets mature at very different paces. As such, the paper's authors conclude that the key in emerging market investing today is to focus on companies that generate cash flow in favored geographies, i.e. in select countries. BlackRock's Chief Investment Strategist Russ Koesterich advocates a similar select-country approach, and you can find out which countries he likes in his latest Investment Directions monthly market commentary . Single-country ETFs are one way to express such country-specific preferences.
Misconception: When you invest in single-country funds, you're only investing in businesses focused on one specific country.
Truth: Many of the companies in single-country funds are global players, meaning they do business both within, and beyond, their borders. This is why it's so important to know your true exposure before you invest.
Want to learn more about single-country ETFs? Check out the BlackRock "Fund Frenzy" challenge, a fun competition that kicks off this week. You can pick a team of five single-country ETFs that you think will perform best over the course of a month. If your ETF team takes the top prize, you'll win a $20,000 donation to a charity of your choice. Let the -- misconceptions go -- and the games begin.

Lady Tigers blank West PointPublished 6:54pm Tuesday, April 2, 2013
Kayla Faulk hit a three-run home run and drove in another run to help the Hartselle softball team shutdown West Point 10-0 in a key area game Tuesday afternoon.
Faulk's homer to centerfield in the bottom of the sixth inning keyed a five-run rally and ended the game due to the 10-run mercy rule.
Baylee Holt also had a big day, going 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and two RBIs.
Starting pitcher Haley Jared scattered three hits and two runs to earn the hit. In addition to her four strikeouts on the mound, she also went 2-for-3 at the plate.
Emily Lipinski and Hope Cain both had singles for the Lady Tigers.

I am taking savella, lamotrigine, dexedrine, tramadol, avapro, singulair, nasonex, lasix, crestor, hydroxyzine and hydrocodone. Every two or three weeks, I have flu-like symptoms for a day or two. I don't know if any or all of these cause the symptoms. I have fibromyalgia and most of these are to reduce my pain and fatigue, but nothing really seems to help. Maybe just make it worse.
Do any drugs cause frequent flu like symptoms?

Hi poppin,
You make me feel good. I thought I take a lot of meds each day. You take more than me. I'm not surprised they give you some kind of crummy feelings. But when you said Flu like symptoms what came to my mind of opiate withdrawal. You only seem to take 1 opiate. Do you run out of Hydrocodone early, and then have to wait a week or 2 to get more? And do the flu like symptoms go away shortly after you get more? If so then you know where they are coming from. That's the only idea I have, because I'm not even sure what all those drugs are. I know most of them, but not all of them. Hopefully someone else knows more than me. Have you asked your doc what could be causing the flu symptoms? What did he say? It wouldn't shock me one bit if he said he didn't know. That would be so typical.
Thanks for your quick reply Thor. I am taking as few Hydrocodone as possible. I know it's easy to get dependent on it. I take them only if my pain is severe. I did take one yesterday and woke up feeling crummy. One bottle of them usually lasts me about three months and they are only 10mg and 40 per bottle. I'm wondering if it is a combination of these drugs causing my symptoms. I wish I could quit them all.

Overview of the programs
Last modified Summer 2007
The CU/Boulder Department of Philosophy has emerged over the last ten years as one of the nation's leading graduate programs. We have distinguished faculty in all the core areas of philosophy, with particular strengths in metaphysics and ethics. The Department is also one of a few elite programs in the country that balance strength in contemporary philosophy with a serious interest in history. Our faculty includes internationally recognized scholars that span the whole history of Western thought, from Plato and Aristotle, through the Middle Ages, to Kant and his successors.
Boulder has one of the largest philosophy faculties in the country, and a correspondingly large graduate program, with separate tracks for MA and PhD students. Though the overall program is large, with more than 70 graduate students in all, the number of entering students in a given year remains small, averaging six new PhD students and 10-15 new MA students. All PhD students are granted funding through teaching positions (tuition waiver and stipend) for five years. MA students do not ordinarily receive funding, but many of our best PhD students have entered into that program through our MA program.
Our faculty is known for having some of best teachers on campus. Accordingly, we have a very large and active group of undergraduate majors. On the graduate level, there are enthusiastic groups studying with a wide range of faculty members. The Department's special strength in metaphysics makes this a particularly lively area of interest among the graduate students. The distinctive focus of the Center for Values and Social Policy likewise attracts a strong group of students. The Department's reputation for doing serious philosophical work on historical figures makes for yet another area of focus. Many of our graduate students have interests in all three of these areas.
Despite the always difficult job market, we have had very good success in recent years at placing PhD students. Recent graduates have received tenure-track jobs at both leading research universities and smaller colleges, and it has been very rare for a student to fail entirely on the market. Moreover, as the Department's reputation has grown in recent years, we find our students doing better and better every winter.
Studying philosophy in Boulder has the additional advantage of location. Situated at the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, 25 miles northwest of Denver, Boulder has perhaps the most ideal geographical settings in the country. In addition to its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, as well as its diverse cultural offerings, Boulder has what many consider the perfect climate. Protected by the mountains, its winters are mild and its summers sunny and dry.
The Center for Values and Social Policy was established in January, 1980. Its goal is to bring the normative and conceptual skills of philosophy to bear on critical issues facing society. The concerns of the Center include both theoretical and applied topics in moral, social, political, and legal philosophy.
The Center coordinates the department's activities and courses in moral, political, and legal philosophy; offers specializations within the department's M.A. and Ph.D. programs; conducts research; sponsors lectures and conferences; publishes a newsletter; is the home of the Summer Philosophy Institute of Colorado and the Philosophy Outreach Program of Colorado, programs for philosophy in K-12 education; and collaborates with professionals from other departments and institutions. The Center's programs are designed to help students acquire both the philosophical skills and the broad understanding that are required in order to bring philosophical issues to bear on matters of social policy and to participate in policy debates.
The program includes a core curriculum of policy-related courses: philosophy and social policy, environmental philosophy, bioethics and public policy, professional ethics, ethics, and political philosophy. Separate application for admission to this program is not required.
The Department has strengths throughout the history of philosophy, with faculty specializing in the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. The department also has strong affiliations with the Medieval Studies Program and the Classics Department, where another senior research professor is rostered.
The department offers a concentration in Contemporary Metaphysics. Ten members of the faculty have strong teaching and research interests in the area. Current faculty research and teaching topics include: time, causation, laws, universals, substance, concepts, reduction, supervenience, realism, physicalism, mind, events, value, and philosophy of religion.
is one of a very few top-ranked graduate programs to offer a
terminal MA degree. Our MA students go on to top-ranked PhD programs
around the country, and we often admit our best MA students into our
own PhD program.
Department Colloquium Series
Recent speakers include Elizabeth Anderson, Jonathan Bennett, Jack Copeland, Edwin Curley, Troy Cross, Julia Driver, Richard Fumerton, Barbara Herman, Anil Gupta, Keith Lehrer, Michele Moody-Adams, Paul Pietroski, David Robb, Gideon Rosen, Sydney Shoemaker, and Richard Sorabji.
Morris Colloquium on Social Philosophy
This multiple-day conference has focused on such topics as equal citizenship, virtue ethics, the ethics and politics of consumerism, and virtue and knowledge in ancient and medieval philosophy.
Committee on the History and Philosophy of Science Colloquia
Recent speakers include Mark Bedau, Helen Longino, Alex
Jones, Alan Richardson, Robert Shapiro, and Andrea Woody, The Committee
also sponsors a regularly series of round-table discussions with CU historians,
philosophers, and scientists.
Work-in-Progress Meetings
On non-Colloquium Mondays, faculty and graduate students meet to discuss the work of someone from within the Department. These informal sessions offer faculty and students the opportunity to present their work in progress to a (generally) sympathetic audience.
Reading Groups
There are, at any time, more reading and discussion groups of various sorts in progress than anyone can keep track of. Some of the principal ones in which graduate students are involved are the following:
The department provides various forms of financial support for students in the Ph.D. program. All PhD students are appointed to a teaching position as part of the program; they start out as Teaching Assistants leading two recitation sections at a 45% time appointment, and after two years are promoted to Graduate Part-Time Instructors, teaching classes on their own at 25% or 50% appointment. (GPTIs will generally teach three classes a year, two one semester and one in the other). Funding in this manner is guaranteed for five years to students who maintain adequate progress in the program. All teaching positions include a tuition waiver of from 5-19 credit hours and a salary stipend depending on percentage of appointment.
Incoming PhDs can be nominated by the Department for several University-wide graduate student fellowships, including the Chancellor's Doctoral Fellowship, the Center for the Humanities and Arts Fellowship, and the Devaney Fellowship. While these are university-wide and are never guaranteed to any one department, the Department has a good track record in securing one or two of these each year.
PhDs at the dissertation stage are eligible to be nominated for several University fellowships, including the Emerson-Lowe Dissertation Fellowship, the Reynolds Fellowship, and the Berenice Udick Fellowship. In addition, most PhDs will receive at some point the Department's own internal Department Dissertation Fellowship, which covers tuition and a stipend for one semester, in order to enable them to spend a semester's sabbatical from teaching so that they may concentrate on their dissertations.
The Department of Philosophy offers two courses of study leading to graduate degrees: an M.A. program and a Ph.D. program. The programs are discrete in the sense that satisfactory completion of the M.A. program is not sufficient for admission to the Ph.D. program.
The M.A. requires thirty hours of approved graduate study, demonstrated proficiency in the core areas of Philosophy, and a successful thesis defense.
The Ph.D. requires forty-five hours of approved graduate study, in addition to the thirty hours of dissertation credit hours required by the Graduate School. Twenty-seven of the 45 hours must satisfy departmental distribution requirements. Other requirements include a logic requirement; satisfactory completion of third-semester and fifth-semester qualifying papers; and successful prospectus oral and dissertation defense.
Applications forms and instructions are available online through the (http://www.colorado.edu/graduateschool/instructions.html) Graduate School. For further information, contact Karen Sites, Graduate Program Coordinator, Department of Philosophy, 232 UCB, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309-0232. The department welcomes applications from minority and women candidates.
To be assured of full consideration, applications for the graduate program must be received in the department office by January 15th for the following fall. All applicants must submit a $50 application fee, GRE General Test scores, a writing sample, and at least three letters of reference. (Although the Graduate School application forms ask for four letters of reference, we only require the three.) The University's graduate application is on-line at http://www.colorado.edu/prospective/graduate/apply/process.html
The deadline for international applicants is December 1st. Please note that international applications must be prescreened by International Admissions before being forwarded to the Department, a process that can take up to six weeks, so international applicants should get their materials in as early as possible. The international application is at http://www.colorado.edu/prospective/international/apply.html

Celebrate Mardi Gras with fried chicken and jambalaya
Celebrate Mardi Gras with these New Orleans dishes from chef John Besh! Make fried chicken, pork and sausage jambalaya and more.
- 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 quart milk
- Canola oil
Baking Directions:
Salt and pepper the chicken pieces generously. Mix the flour, onion and garlic powder together. Dip the chicken in the milk and then dredge through the flour mixture to coat well. Heat 2 inches of canola oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F. Drop the chicken, in small batches, into the oil. Fry, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes and turn over, cooking for an additional 8 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain and salt immediately.
- 1/2 pound bacon, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 pound smoked pork sausage, sliced
- 3 cups uncooked converted Louisiana white rice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce or canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups diced cooked pork
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Salt
- Tabasco
Baking Directions:
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until browned. Add the bell pepper, celery, and sausage. Cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes, then add the rice, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken broth and tomato sauce, then the pork and green onions. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remember, the pork and sausage are already cooked, you're only making the rice at this point. Remove the pot from the heat and it's ready to serve! Season with salt and tabasco.
- 1 cup no fat mayo
- 1/4 teaspoon tabasco
- 1 teaspoon zatarains creole mustard
- 1 pound Italian style panko break crumbs
- 6 each boneless skinless chicken thighs
Baking Directions:
Mix mayo, mustard, tabasco. Place chicken in mixture to coat. Remove chicken and dredge into breadcrumbs, covering in breadcrumbs on both sides place coated chicken on non-stick cookie sheet bake in 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown
- 1 cup lukewarm milk, about 110 degrees
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry yeast
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup melted butter
- 5 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- Several gratings of fresh nutmeg
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Purple, green, and gold decorative sugars
- 1 fève (fava bean) or plastic baby to hide in the cake after baking
Baking Directions:
For the cake, pour the warm milk into a large bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar, yeast, and a heaping tablespoon of the flour, mixing until both the sugar and the yeast have dissolved. Once bubbles have developed on the surface of the milk and it begins to foam, whisk in the butter, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the remaining flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg and fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a large rubber spatula. After the dough comes together, pulling away from the sides of the bowl, shape it into a large ball. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Put the dough back into the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a draft-free place to let it proof, or rise, for 1½ hours or until the dough has doubled in volume.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough between your palms into a long strip, making 3 ropes of equal length. Braid the 3 ropes around one another and then form the braided loaf into a circle, pinching ends together to seal. Gently lay the braided dough on a nonstick cookie sheet and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes. Once it's doubled in size, place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake until the braid is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for 30 minutes. For the icing, while the cake is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, condensed milk, and lemon juice in a bowl until the icing is smooth and very spreadable. If the icing is too thick, add a bit more condensed milk; if it's a touch too loose, add a little more powdered sugar. Once the cake has cooled, spread the icing over the top of the cake and sprinkle with purple, green, and gold decorative sugars while the icing is still wet. Tuck the fève or plastic baby into underside of the cake and, using a spatula, slide the cake onto a platter.
