It depends. I do tell my patients to try to avoid herbs in general during the first trimester of pregnancy, when the fetus may be particularly vulnerable. But generally speaking, I don't think there's anything on the market that could cause any harm in the small dose you get in a cup of tea. Teas are so much more diluted than herbal tinctures, for example.
I would avoid teas that contain ingredients with well-known pharmacological actions, such as kava or St. John's wort. I'd also stay away from teas that might stimulate menstrual or uterine contractions, such as black or blue cohosh.
Raspberry leaf tea is the foundation of almost all pregnancy teas and is completely safe. It's thought to help promote effective uterine contractions at delivery.
The herbs I generally recommend during pregnancy include nettle leaf as a nutritive tea, lemon balm (Melissa) as a mild relaxer and anti-herpes tea, German chamomile as a mild calmative and digestive aid, peppermint to help relieve flatulence and intestinal cramps, and fresh ginger tea to help relieve nausea. You'll find fresh ginger root in the produce section of most markets. Tea or tincture from dried ginger is not advisable during pregnancy, according to traditional Chinese medical practice.
I'm not aware of any herbal teas that are unsafe. If you want to drink chamomile or mint tea, that's fine.
I probably wouldn't drink teas that claim to contain "nutritional supplements" like St. John's wort or ginseng, however. It's not so much that supplements are bad for the baby, but that I don't know that they're good.
In general, the fewer iffy things you ingest, the better off you are during pregnancy. The Food and Drug Administration doesn't regulate supplements, either, so you don't know what kinds of contaminants may be present.

I am interested in learning what software exists for land classification using machine learning algorithms (e.g. k-NN, Random Forest, decision trees, etc.) I am aware of the randomForest package in R and MILK and SPy in Python.
My specific questions:
- Generally speaking, what open-source or commercial products exist for land classification using decision-tree based machine learning algorithms?
- More specifically, are there any trusted GUI-based nonparametric decision tree algorithms for land classification (i.e. especially Random Forest, although others welcome)?

From signing day's past: Isaiah Crowell pulled out a live bulldog puppy to announce that he would play at Georgia, Terrelle Pryor held a press conference to say he wasn't committing anywhere and another recruit's mother sent in her son's letter of intent to the school he did not want to attend—on purpose.
National Signing Day 2013: Isaiah Crowell's puppy highlights best momentsncaaf February 6, 2013 11:01am EST February 5, 2013 11:32am EST National Signing Day has become a spectacle. Across the country Wednesday, teenagers will pick their college and fans will rejoice. But it's not always that simple. We have 10 moments that go above and beyond faxing a letter.
2 Isaiah Crowell, RB
High school/hometown: Carver/Columbus, Ga.
Recruiting class year: 2011
Where he signed: Georgia
The moment: Everyone wanted the 5-11, 200-pound back and his decision came down to Georgia and Alabama. He picked the Bulldogs—literally—by holding up a bulldog puppy wearing a red Georgia sweater at his announcement ceremony. Like Christian Laettner's shot to beat Kentucky in the in the 1992 East Regional has become the most-recognized scene for the NCAA Tournament, Crowell's moment has become the visual most tied to national signing day.
3 Cyrus Kouandjio, OL
High school/hometown: DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.)
Recruiting class year: 2011
Where he signed: Alabama
The moment: Even with his brother, Arie, playing at Alabama, he stepped to the microphone on signing day and announced he would go to rival Auburn—a school he'd hardly acknowledged until signing day. He looked surprised. Even his family was shocked, and they quickly held a conference about the decision and persuaded him to change his mind. Kouandjio never signed with the Tigers. A few days later he signed his letter of intent with Alabama and is starring there today.
4 Floyd Raven, DB
High school/hometown: East St. John/Reserve, La.
Recruiting class year: 2011
Where he signed: Texas A&M
The moment: The key to getting a recruit to your commit is often tied to that recruit's mother. Win her over and you've won the battle. Except in the case of Floyd Raven. He was choosing between Ole Miss and Texas A&M and picked the Aggies—but mom chose the Rebels. She even signed and sent in Floyd's letter of intent to Ole Miss. But it was not legible and Ole Miss asked him to resend. It never made it back and Rebels coach Houston Nutt understood after getting an explanation.
5 De'Anthony Thomas, RB/WR
High school/hometown: Crenshaw (Los Angeles)
Recruiting class year: 2011
Where he signed: Oregon
The moment: When Thomas chose USC during the spring of his junior year, he told Sporting News that night that he and the other future Trojans looked at each other as a reincarnation of the 1990s Dallas Cowboys. They were going to be that good together. Month after month, nothing changed—he was solidly committed to his hometown school. Talk surfaced in the days prior to signing day that he might be thinking about Oregon. Then on signing day, he put on the green cap with an "O" on it—stunning everybody. He's been an electrifying threat for Oregon since.
6 Manti Te'o, LB
High school/hometown: Punahou (Honolulu)
Recruiting class year: 2009
Where he signed: Notre Dame
The moment: Te'o was tough to figure out. He was a devout Mormon, so BYU seemed a logical destination. Then there was the connection with then-UCLA assistant and Honolulu native Norm Chow. While Notre Dame was mentioned casually in his top five, nobody expected him to pick the Catholic school in cold Indiana. But on TV, he sat amongst all of Hawaii's other prep signees—athletes from all sports traditionally sign together in the state—and calmly announced his intention to play for Charlie Weis at Notre Dame.
7 Bryce Brown, RB
High school/hometown: East (Wichita, Kan.)
Recruiting class year: 2009
Where he signed: Tennessee (later, Kansas State)
The moment: It seemed like a no-brainer where he'd sign—with Miami so he could play with his brother Arthur Brown. But as his reputation grew as one of the nation's top running backs, his ego grew, too. He talked about going to the Canadian Football League straight out of high school instead of going to college. When signing day came, he held out much like an NFL player would and waited and waited. Miami finally severed ties with him, and he signed late in the signing period with new coach Lane Kiffin at Tennessee. He had a pedestrian freshman season for the Vols, then left when Kiffin bolted for USC. He went to Kansas State where his college career never got off the ground.
8 C.J. Spiller, RB
High school/hometown: Union County/Lake Butler, Fla.
Recruiting class year: 2006
Where he signed: Clemson
The moment: The 5-star back lived about an hour from Gainesville and Florida State was his longtime favorite school. Reporters on hand to cover his announcement were stunned when the speedy back—now with the Buffalo Bills—opted to leave the state for Clemson. David Jones, the Florida beat writer at Florida Today, was there for his announcement. "Tim Tebow was seen with Spiller many times in the days leading up to signing day—like a Gator basketball game—so Florida pulled out all the stops. When Spiller first announced in the high school gym you could feel the shock," Jones recalls to Sporting News. "It was kind of a split second of silence, then fans started clapping. I'd have to say among recruits in the area it was the biggest surprise in a decade or more to many. He said no to Urban Meyer. That says it all."
9 Seantrel Henderson, OL
High school/hometown: Cretin-Derham (St. Paul, Minn.)
Recruiting class year: 2010
Where he signed: USC (but ended up at Miami)
The moment: Nothing in the year leading up to signing day gave an indication of where Henderson would eventually end up. When Lane Kiffin ended up at USC in January 2010, Henderson's focus shifted westward. On signing day, Henderson announced on TV that he would go to USC—but he never signed, opting instead to see what would happen with USC's problems with the NCAA. He signed with the Trojans later in the signing period, but when the Trojans were dealt their sanctions, Henderson opted out, signed with Miami and became a freshman All-American there.
10 Jordan Payton, WR
High school/hometown: Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, Calif.)
Recruiting class year: 2012
Where he signed: UCLA
The moment: In one calendar year, the personable Payton committed to one third of the schools in the Pac-12. First, he was heading to USC, then he was on board with California. But when Bears assistant coach Tosh Lupoi headed to Washington, he briefly became a Huskies' commitment. On signing day, he signed with UCLA and its new coach, Jim Mora Jr., ending one of the most bizarre recruitments in years.
11 Terrelle Pryor, QB
High school/hometown: Jeannette, Jeannette, Pa.
Recruiting class year: 2008
Where he signed: Ohio State
The moment: Pryor was the No. 1 player in the country, according to Rivals.com and he made them wait. He held a press conference on signing day to tell people that he wasn't committing. Why? He said when football was over he stepped right onto the basketball court and hadn't been able to give all his options—Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan and Oregon—a fair look. So those schools waited and waited until more than a month later he said he'd be a Buckeye.

Bell's takes bronze medal at 2013 Great American Beer Festival
A relatively new beer brought home a medal this past weekend from the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
Sparkleberry Ale - a blend of our Raspberry Ale (made with Michigan raspberries) and Sparkling Ale - was awarded a bronze medal in the fruit beer category.
The beer was introduced at this year's Kalamazoo Pride, of which Bell's was a presenting sponsor. It is a specialty beer and only available on draft.
Per the GABF website:
The Great American Beer Festival awards gold, silver and bronze medals for excellence in 75 beer-style categories but does not necessarily award medals to the top three finishers in a particular category.
When judges decide a category contains three excellent examples of the style, they award gold, silver and bronze medals for the first, second and third place beers, respectively.
This is the latest medal Bell's has been awarded at GABF. In 2011, a sixteen-year-old Expedition Stout was awarded a gold medal in the aged beer category.

Consequence has managed to stay within Hip Hop's ever changing relevant conversation, despite enduring multiple false starts throughout his career. Though his name is spoken often, powerful ties such as a youthful start with A Tribe Called Quest, eventually becoming the rogue member of G.O.O.D. Music, and his present stint as part of VH1's early 2013 reality TV cycle haven't quite translated into full-blown success. With a platform now greater than ever, Cons aims to capitalize on his moment with Movies On Demand 4.
MOD 4 finds Cons leaning on wit and slick punchlines, building complete songs around this style including the reflective "Better Days Ahead" and the bizarre concept of "Slipped Me Ecstasy." Years of triumph and struggle have made Cons a veteran of the industry, with the precautionary tale "Be Careful Who You Make Your Heroes" and "How You Gon Be Broke In The Rap Game" serving as mission statements seeking to help upstarts avoid treachery and pitfalls. Throwbacks to a time when he was optimistic and bright-eyed towards the prospect of celebrity, "Dearly Beloved" and "Black Actors" channel former boss Kanye West's original Soul-sampling blueprint, both certain to inspire sentimentality in listeners missing their all but forgotten chemistry.
With Movies On Demand 4, Consequence displays a strong ear for production and an ability to ride tracks that makes him command attention, hopefully eliminating the notion that stardom is beyond his grasp. His greatest strength is writing from various perspectives, playing the role of a two timer on the Estelle featured "When I Woke Up" and the sappy breakup tale "Won't Go Away," radio ready efforts proving his overall versatility. With any luck, Cons' current visibility and continual critical acclaim will gradually cross paths to overcome his ongoing obstacles to popular recognition.
DX Consensus: "EP-worthy"

WASHINGTON (AP) - Mitt Romney has won in Georgia. It's a state that had appeared to be a potential battleground early in the campaign, but ended up being part of Romney's Southern base.
Romney also added Tennessee's 11 electoral votes to his total, putting him ahead of President Barack Obama so far. Romney has 67 electoral votes so far, to Obama's 64.
Romney had been far ahead of Obama in the polls in Tennessee, with strong support from white evangelical voters. Romney lost his party's primary in Tennessee earlier this year to Rick Santorum.
Tennessee voters also re-elected Republican Sen. Bob Corker.
In Connecticut, Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy has defeated Republican former wrestling executive Linda McMahon in the race for the Senate seat that had been held by retiring independent Joe Lieberman. McMahon spent more than $42 million of her own money on the Senate bid.

ASHBURN, Va (WUSA) -- I saw a funny tweet Sunday following Tony Romo's career best day: Welcome to Texas where we blame everything on Tony Romo and Barack Obama.
The Cowboys 51-48 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday was one of the more memorable games in recent NFL history. Romo without a doubt had his best career game -- 506 passing yards and five touchdowns. Here's the thing with Tony Romo: there's always a but. He can never live in peace. Romo's made one mistake, a fourth quarter interception, and it did his Cowboys in.
Statistically, Romo will go down at the best Cowboys quarterback of all-time. Mentally, Romo will forever be remembered by football consumers as a choke artist who could never get the job done. In the NFL, being clutch in the fourth quarter and winning is the only measurement that matters. Ask Ben Roethlisberger. Romo's problem is he's an ambitious playmaker -- for both teams. Forcing throws have jeopardized what could have been an outstanding career.
So what did Redskins think of Romo's performance?
"I wouldn't necessarily call him a choke artist...Even though he threw for 500 yards, it's obviously that one play that makes a difference," said Jarvis Jenkins. "He's a good player but it takes every down to be a great player."
"They looked amazing," said DeAngelo Hall. "I didn't think they were an offense who could keep up with Peyton Manning." Hall later added with a smile: "Dallas and Romo never seem to amaze me."
Romo's former teammate Stephen Bowen is one of his biggest fans.
"To me Romo is one of the best quarterbacks in the league," said Bowen. "He's very elusive. He senses when someone is on his back shoulder. He's an improviser."
And Ryan Kerrigan added something very intriguing to me. He articulately described why blitzing Romo is completely different than most quarterbacks.
"When you do run blitzes on Romo, it has to be in the right situation. You really have to execute it well...and not show it pre-snap. Because he's the kind of guy when he senses the pre-snap blitz, he drifts away from it. So you have to disguise your blitzes well."
The Redskins respect Tony Romo. And they know the pressure will be back on the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Especially in front of America on Sunday Night Football.

All of the cleansers from MD Formulations were formulated to remove almost all traces of excess makeup, dirt, debris and other impurities. Moisturizers can be applied after cleansing without the use of additional products. However, some people rely on an additional step and feel that their skin benefits from this. MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers are offered as an addition to the cleansing and purifying process. MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers help to further decongest skin that is in extra need of a deep cleansing in addition to helping the skin prepare itself for additional the next steps such as moisturizing and treating.
MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers should be considered an additional step and should not be considered a replacement for cleansing. After thoroughly cleansing the skin, MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers can follow. The skin should be patted dry before MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers are applied to the skin. Once absorbed into the skin, a moisturizer can then follow.
MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers contain active ingredients which help to improve the overall quality of the skin. They do not contain any fragrance which may cause irritation. MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers are pH balanced to leave the skin in the ideal state for accepting the active ingredients found in other treatment products.
Skin that is oily, congested and prone to breakouts can best benefit from MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers. While MD Formulations cleansers are very effective at removing the impurities and excess sebum which can clog the pores and lead to breakouts, MD Formulations Toners/Clarifiers can offer further assistance in purifying the skin and ensuring the best defense against blemishes.
MD Formulations Glycare Lotion is an additional weapon in the fight against breakouts. The lotion should be applied to towel dried skin after a thorough cleansing with an appropriate product from MD Formulations. MD Formulations Glycare Lotion is a strong product that should be applied sparingly. It can be used one or twice a day. Those who are new to glycolic acid are advised to start with one application a day and move up to two applications as the skin adjusts.
MD Formulations Glycare Lotion helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores as it decongests. The formula helps to reduce the shiny appearance of oily skin as well as reducing breakouts. The lotion has a glycolic base that exfoliates, refines and leaves the skin soft and smooth. Eucalyptus purifies and leaves the skin feeling and smelling fresh and clean. A moisturizer should always follow.

Valdosta, GA - A U.S. Congressman visits Valdosta. Republican Austin Scott is Georgia's Representative for District 8 which now includes most of Lowndes County. He came from Washington to say the biggest obstacle to a balanced budget is President Obama.
"I'm not sure the president is going to be willing to reduce spending without us taking some drastic measures. But we're prepared to do what it takes to cut spending," said Scott.
Gretchen Quarterman is chairwoman of the Lowndes Democratic party.
"Instead I would say over the last two years Congress has been obstructionist and Congressman Scott has been a part of that in not working with the Senate and the president," said Quarterman.
Scott expressed disappointment in the agreement reached to avoid the Fiscal Cliff.
"Unfortunately I think the bill that passed just raised taxes. I think as people get their paychecks they'll start to understand that unless they got a pay raise their actual take home will be going down based on the legislation that passed," said Scott.
But Quartman says the problem is taxes are unfair to begin with.
"So if a school teacher is paying 25% tax and a rich person is paying 15%, that's not really fair," said Quarterman.
But their is one thing they both agree on.
"I quite honestly think both sides ought to put their budgets on C-Span and maybe we ought to have those negotiations on C-Span," said Scott.
"So I'm all for having everything all out on the table for all citizens to see," said Quarterman.

|Vieselmeyer's hog is Grand Champ
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
HHS sophomore Austin Vieselmeyer claimed Grand Champion Market Hog honors with his hog, Wulfy, at the 2013 Colorado State Fair.
Additionally, he won champion senior swine showman honors in the statewide event.
Vieselmeyer's black crossbred grand champ brought $28,000 when purchased by Anadarko Petroleum Company at the junior livestock sale.
This is Vieselmeyer's seventh year in 4-H and his sixth year with market hogs.
For six consecutive years, he and his younger brother Alex have purchased show pigs from Matt and Greg Wolfe in Indianola, Neb.
They check out the animals a couple of weeks before sale time to decide which hogs they're interested in.
Wulfy is the fourth consecutive generation that Vieselmeyer has shown from one sow family that started with Girly. His sire's name is Wolfe Bones.

Austin Vieselmeyer is pictured fourth from left with his Grand Champion Market Hog, as well as Colorado State Fair commissioners and judge Kane Causemaker from Atkinson, Ill.

Geology is the study of the Earth, its processes, its materials, its history, and its effect on humans and life in general. Rocks, crystals, mountains, earthquakes, volcanoes, rivers, glaciers, landslides, floods, and many other subjects fall into this broad field of research. Geologists perform a wide range of important services for our civilization: they determine the stability of building sites, find abundant supplies of clean water, search for valuable deposits of natural resources such as iron, coal, and oil, and they also try to minimize the threat to communities at risk from geologic hazards.
Geology is special in that it is a highly field-oriented science. A geologist's work is usually outdoors, sometimes in out-of-the way places such as deserts or sparsely populated mountain ranges. Some of the most geologically interesting places in the world are also the most scenic. Students of geology can expect to find themselves working in locales that they have often wanted to travel to, as well as many that they had not known of but were grateful to have visited still.
Geology is a very visual science. Many problems in geology are much like solving a puzzle. A common task for students is to present a possible explanation of the events that occurred to produce the scenery surrounding them. If you have ever wondered how a certain hill came to exist in a certain place, or why a cliff or canyon should have such a vivid display of color to it, or why a large outcrop of rock is exposed in a particular fashion, a background in geology can help you to return to those features and figure out the answers. Once you have had an introduction to geology, you will see the world around you in a completely new lig

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- At first glance the University of the District of Columbia looks like an urban university on the move but which way?
President Allen Sessoms was recently fired and nearly a hundred positions abolished to save money. The Board of Trustees says the cuts won't affect student services but students told us today many services and classroom instruction were already suffering.
"There are a lot of teachers here that probably should be updated or retired because they are just not in current knowledge, some don't even use the internet."
UDC seems to know better than ask DC's elected leaders for a bigger subsidy, even though the City government is realizing a three to four hundred million dollar surplus from the last fiscal year.
Does UDC even have a future? Half of its five thousand students were peeled off by a new two year Community college.
"We are going to want to hear from the board to what their decision is moving forward with the existing resources and growing their resources by attracting more students," said Muriel Bowser, DC Council.
Mayor Gray's spokesman says he is willing to give the board of trustees -- most of which he appointed -- more time to come up with a right size plan for the four-year school. But he will not say how much time.

WWE releasing Daniel Bryan
Rumors spread like wildfire today about an imminent release of Daniel Bryan after an anonymous email was released by someone that claims to work in the human resources department for WWE. They stated that the office was asked to process a contract release for Bryan. Upon hearing the rumors, World Wrestling Entertainment released a statement denying that Daniel was about to depart from the company.
January 13, 2016
Daniel Bryan pulled
Some more bad news regarding Daniel Bryan. WWE has pulled his name from all upcoming live events and television taping. That is not a good sign because it means that the former world heavyweight champion will not be making a return anytime soon. Initially, there were rumors that he was going to be on the shelf for approximately a month. Now, it appears that he is going to need much more time to recover than that.
April 28, 2015
Daniel Bryan missing Extreme Rules
While a lot of fans were hoping that the rumors about Daniel Bryan being seriously injured were not true, WWE has now confirmed that the Intercontinental Champion will not be able to work Extreme Rules tonight. They posted an official announcement on the website, where they state that Bryan is not medically cleared. His scheduled opponent Wade Barrett will now work a match against Adrian Neville during the kickoff show.
April 26, 2015
Daniel Bryan out for a month
Rumors are floating around right now that Daniel Bryan might be forced to miss a month of action, and WWE did something to further fan those flames. Every month, the company generates preview videos for each month that is taking place on the pay per view. While they still have his match with Wade Barrett listed on their website, they did not bother making a preview video for their upcoming bout at Extreme Rules.
April 25, 2015
Disco Inferno bashes Sheamus
While the company is refusing to reveal details, rumors are floating around that Daniel Bryan was sent home early from the tour of Europe because he suffered a concussion while working a match against Sheamus. Disco Inferno had some strong feelings about the matter. Through social media, he stated that the Celtic Warrior doesn't really now how to work properly in the ring if he is constantly giving concussions to his opponents.
April 22, 2015
Extreme Rules replacement match
WWE revealed that Daniel Bryan might not be healthy enough to work his scheduled match against Wade Barrett at Extreme Rules on Sunday night. A replacement match was being discussed, and rumors are now saying that it will be a match between Bray Wyatt and Ryback. If Bryan is healthy enough to work, then the pay per view proceeds as normal. Wyatt would then get his much needed big win at Payback the following month.
April 21, 2015
Daniel Bryan medical condition
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Daniel Bryan had actually suffered a concussion. That is in addition to his neck not holding up properly. WWE, however, is denying the rumors. They stated that the former world heavyweight champion did not suffer a concussion. They are not denying that some sort of injury was suffered, though. The company simply is opting to keep that a secret, in the hopes that they can downplay the seriousness of it all.
April 19, 2015
Daniel Bryan ignores AJ Lee
Those that watched his rise through WWE know that AJ Lee played a key part in the story for Daniel Bryan. You would figure that she would be mentioned in an autobiography by the guy. However, Bryan never once mentions her name on any of the pages. That, of course, has added more fuel to the fire on the rumors that there could be backstage heat between AJ and Brie Bella. It would explain her omission from the book.
April 14, 2015
Daniel Bryan winning IC title
Earlier in the month, rumors surfaced that WWE was going to put the Intercontinental Championship on Daniel Bryan so that he could headline the live events with it. However, Bryan has much bigger plans than that. He noted that his friend Shinsuke Nakamura managed to headline a New Japan show with their version of the IC belt. The IWGP World Heavyweight worked the under card. Bryan wants to do something similar if he wins the belt.

Part 1 Unveiled: Common misconceptions-Facts, Fiction and Fallacies
Newscast Media HOUSTON, Texas—This article is a continuation of the "Unveiled"
series, and is a "treatise" about misconceptions, facts, fiction and fallacies ranging
from the origin and difference between fallen angels and demons, the question about
whether homosexuality is unAfrican, its origin and how it found its way into Africa,
how to deal with the legal aspect of it, and other topics that relate to our time and
Difference between angels and demons
We begin by confronting the difference between fallen angels and demons and how
they operate in our physical world and in the spiritual realm.
Fallen angels are different form demons. Demons are disembodied spirits while fallen
angels have their own bodies and do not need to occupy the bodies of other entities
in order to function. Before one third of the angels fell with Lucifer, all angels were
under the leadership of God Himself who created them. CONTINUE TO FULL ARTICLE>>

Cost is the primary concern for Mississippi lawmakers faced with a decision on whether to expand the state Medicaid program with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The Clarion-Ledger reports that lawmakers discussed the matter during a joint committee meeting of the Public Health and Welfare and the Insurance committees.
After the three-hour meeting, Sen. Dean Kirby, a Republican legislator from Pearl and chairman of the Public Health and Welfare Committee, said there isn't a rush on the decision.
Kirby said the state has time to make an informed decision since the Medicaid expansion portion of the Affordable Care Act won't take effect until January 2014.
Dr. David Dzielak, director of the Mississippi Division of Medicaid, said costs could increase $1 billion over seven years.

1)how does this compare to the aeris pro regulator? 2) specifics about this regulator- style, types of ports, adjustability. I can tell you do not like liesure pro but they provide a lot of info about their products that allow me to print them out and compare and hopefully make the right purchase for me. Do you have an area in your site to help me evaluate the specifics of different products?
Your regulator is one of the main pieces of scuba equipment that allows you to breathe while underwater. The second stage contains the mouthpiece and purge valve; the purpose of the second stage is to deliver the air into the diver's mouth and to remove any waste (air or other objects) as needed.
Purge Button/Exhaust Valve
The 2nd stage's exhaust valve is a one-way valve that allows the diver's exhaled air to leave the regulator. Basically, it is where the bubbles exit the mouthpiece.
The purge button allows the diver to force air from his/her tank through the regulator to clear any water that may have inadvertently entered the 2nd stage. This button should be fairly simple to manipulate, even when wearing thick dive gloves. It should also only require the pressure from one finger to successfully perform the purge.
Your 2nd stage's mouthpiece is a more crucial piece of equipment than most people believe. A mouthpiece should be comfortable in your mouth; if it feels too big or too small, use a different size mouthpiece.
Choose your AERIS Second Stage.
The A2 second stage is low-profile, durable, lightweight, and a great performer at a great price. The A2 first stage is designed to be easy to maintain and service, and is known by divers and technicians worldwide. AERIS regulators are exclusively designed using the latest 3-D computer modeling techniques. This allows us the ability to model and test performance while still in the early stages of development. The A2's second stage unique deflector vane and housing design diverts airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted inhalation.
The A2's housing is made from an ABS/Polycarbonate composite blend of materials making the A2 both extremely rugged and lightweight, weighing 6 oz (170 g) and nearly neutrally buoyant underwater, reducing jaw fatigue on extended dives. The extremely lightweight cover ring is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum, and then hard anodized, utilizing a unique process to prevent corrosion. The A2 has a small profile with a front diameter of 2.9' (7.4 cm), and now comes with a MaxFlex Hose which is a 30' (76.2 cm) lightweight, flexible, braided hose designed to outperform and outlive traditional rubber hoses. To further reduce jaw fatigue, the A2 features a patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece, designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw. The A2 is classified as being suitable for use with nitrox breathing gas mixtures containing up to 40% oxygen by volume without the need for special preparation, cleaning or component parts.
The ION second stage is the latest iteration of the flagship Aeris ION Regulator Line. The ION has a swivel and by adding an ultra-flexible braided MaxFlex hose makes it one comfortable regulator. The pneumatically balanced demand valve of the Ion Second Stage along with a highly responsive design allows this regulator to provide a high volume of airflow with even the slightest inhalation effort, making it seem nearly effortless to breathe at any depth. All in a second stage barely wider than the mouthpiece. The ION means business as it comes equipped for any type of dive conditions, cold or warm. Following the rules of the sea, or should we say the rules of the C: Compact - Comfortable - Customizable; the ION is a diver's dream.
A2 Second Stage Features:
Downstream Demand Valve
Venturi Control Switch for Dive/Pre-Dive Adjustment
Patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece
Diameter 2.9' (7.4 cm) and Weighs 6 oz (170 g)
ABS/Polycarbonate Composite with Anodized Aluminum Ring
ION Second Stage Features:
Pneumatically Balanced Second Stage
Virtually No Breathing Effort
Patented Dynamic Adjustment Automatically Maintains Inhalation Effort
Adjustable Venturi Switch for Dive/Pre-Dive Adjustment
Ultra-Flexible Braided MaxFlex Hose with Swivel
No Inline Swivel for Reduced Weight
Patented Orthodontic Mouthpiece with High Density Bite Tabs
ABS/Polycarbonate Composite Blend Construction
Lightweight: 5.4 oz (153 g)
Compact: 2.3' (5.8 cm) Diameter
Aircraft Anodized Aluminum Cover Ring
Dry Valve Technology (DVT)
DVT is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically eliminate moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is accidentally left off.
DVT eliminates corrosion of critical internal components, bacteria, hose deterioration, and damaged gauges and computers.
Pneumatically Balanced Valve
The pneumatically balanced second stage reduces breathing resistance to near zero with a balanced valve seat designed to respond to the slightest inhalation.
A pneumatically balanced second stage actually has (or can have) the same initial crack opening effort as a mechanically balanced, but the spring force of a pneumatically balanced second stage is lighter so it's spring rate is also lower.
Diver Adjustable Inhalation Effort
A simple twist of the adjustment knob enables complete control...
Set the inhalation requirement to near zero when you need ultimate performance, or tune it for greater resistance as conditions or preferences change.
Choose your AERIS First Stage.
The A2 first stage is low-profile, durable, lightweight, and a great performer at a great price. It has one high pressure port and four low pressure ports to accommodate most hose arrangements. The A2 first stage is designed to be easy to maintain and service, and is known by divers and technicians worldwide. This first stage is manufactured from marine grade chrome plated brass and utilizes a non-balanced flow-by piston design and weighs 26 oz (737 g). An optional patented design also puts an end to flooded regulators without sacrificing performance! DVT (Dry Valve technology) is a revolutionary regulator technology designed to automatically prevent moisture and contaminants from entering your first stage, even if the dust cap is left off.
The AT600 is a High Performance First Stage with Environmental Seal. The diaphragm membrane transmits the pressure changes to the internal mechanism eliminating the need for the surrounding water to enter the intricate mechanism. The benefit of this type of first stage design is that none of the internal parts are exposed to contaminants such as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism deteriorating regulator performance. The standard Diaphragm Regulator does allow water into the mainspring chamber so that the diaphragm can perform this transmission of pressure changes.
With the AT600 there is a Secondary Environmental Diaphragm Membrane that seals off the spring chamber keeping the first stage completely sealed off from the environment adding a second layer of corrosion resistance.
The first stage has 4 Low Pressure Ports (LP) and one High Pressure Ports (HP) and is Nitrox compatible to 40% out of the box.
A2 First Stage Features:
Non-Balance Flow-By Piston First Stage
Nitrox Compatible to 40%
4 LP Ports, 1 HP Ports
Marine Grade Chromed Brass Material
Weighs 26 oz (737 g)
DVT Eliminates Corrosion/Contamination of Critical Internal Components
AT600 First Stage Features:
AT 600 Over-Balanced Diaphragm First Stage
4 LP Ports
1 HP Ports
Environmentally Sealed
Marine Grade Chromed Brass Material
Compact Design

Nitrox Ready Up to 40% Out-of-the-Box
Din vs. Yoke
Yoke couplings are more commonly found world wide and are almost always used by the ever-popular aluminum 80 tanks.
DIN fittings are safer than yoke fittings and are the only fitting that can couple with high-pressure tanks. The advantage of DIN fittings is that they screw into the tank valve and trap the high-pressure o-ring so it cannot protrude, which can occasionally happen when using a yoke fitting.

I'm a new rider with a 2010 C5, just breaking it in. I've ridden about 800 miles, mostly in city traffic below 40mph with a lot of stop-and-go, some intermittent short stretches of highway. Almost all my riding has been in New York City. The best I've achieved is about 42 MPG (US). Is this normal? Should I be expecting better?For what it's worth, I'm a heavy person (250 lbs). My shifting technique is probably fine - I have 30 years experience driving a manual transmission car.
In the last 11,000 miles that I rode for a total of 16,000 miles, Bare
working on 4.5 litres to the imperial gallon i get 98 mpg on highway running at 55 to 60 miles per hour.as for around town running - never done that - too dangerous riding around town so it's the highway or nothing
I've got a 2012 B5 with 3,333.3 and I usually get 60 or just below. My average freeway commute is 10 miles there and back again with a top speed of 70, but usually 65. Sadly, I weigh in at 195 and can't seem to lose more.

Where's the other side?
To the Editor:
I have a question. Why are there only letters from attackers of Randi Kreiss, and none about the blatant, political, one-sided views of Al D'Amato? Could it possibly be that we're hearing from people who believe their way is the best and only way to think and act? Isn't this America, where we celebrate differences, show respect for other people's opinions and views and read and digest information without spewing anger and hate? Or is this the Middle East?
Marilyn Avruskin

Passionate about vets
To the Editor:
For well over 50 years now, I have been submitting commentary to the News and Owl and the Rockville Centre Herald on many issues, in the form of letters to the editor. I must answer the comment made in "Clark's views are his own" (Sept. 20-26).
I was at Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley's funeral Mass, wearing my Vietnam Veteran ID as well as my Rockville Centre American Legion Past Commander cap.
I witnessed the heart-wrenching grief displayed by both parents of the young Marine and the deep sorrow of the young students from Oceanside schools who knew and admired young Greg. As a Vietnam veteran, I saw and felt the same anguish in the faces and hearts of parents who lost their sons in Vietnam.
I knew of Mr. and Mrs. Buckley's statements regarding their feelings about keeping our troops in Afghanistan to train the Afghans, while Al Qaeda has used the opportunity to assassinate our troops in a jihad-driven vendetta. Their son Greg was one such victim. The Buckleys had made statements urging our political leaders to bring our troops home now instead of risking other American lives in a futile effort to turn Afghanistan into some effective, peaceful pro-Western democracy.
I agree with the Buckleys, but I made no statement that those views were the policy of the American Legion.
All of my letters are signed appropriately. I am a past president, past commander, national board member, etc., of many organizations to which I belong.

Born on April 16, 1889 in London, England, Chaplin was raised in a home with enough gentility to keep a maid, yet at a very early age, he watched his family lose everything. Both his father, Charles, and his mother, Hannah, were music hall entertainers, which gave the young boy early exposure to the world that would eventually become his life. When he was three years old, his father abandoned the family for another woman and left his mother in complete torment. She suffered a nervous breakdown that led her to be institutionalized for much of her remaining life. The utter dismantling of the family unit left Chaplin and his older half-brother, Sydney, at the mercy of the state. Both spent thei... Continue Bio >>

To the editor:
Syria has a chance not only to stop President Barack Obama from a military strike; but its leaders could change world opinion, diffuse a possible world war and gain the upper hand by relinquishing its poison-gas weapons to the international community to be destroyed.
What better way to lend truth to its claim that the gas was used by rebels to implicate Assad than to rid Syria of its stockpiles?
What kind of idiot would hang on to such weapons under the present circumstances? To use them, even in a small way, would not only give the U.S. a more valid reason to strike but would force Syria�s allies, such as Russia, into positions which would lead to a repudiation of Syria and its leadership.
Perhaps, it is some religious thing that I cannot understand that persuades someone to hang onto a suicide vest with full knowledge that using it will prove everything one stands for is invalid if it is used.
The advantage of giving up such gas weapons so they can be destroyed is overwhelmingly advantageous to Assad. The clock is ticking, and if Assad cannot see this simple truth very soon, he will prove to the world that he is a gas-weapons-hoarding idiot.

Wichita, KS (Sports Network) - A pair of Missouri Valley Conference squads
heading in opposite directions meet at Koch Arena on Wednesday night, as the
23rd-ranked Wichita State Shockers entertain the Southern Illinois Salukis.
Following a 65-53 win over Nicholls State on Dec. 21, SIU was sitting pretty
at 7-3, but since then it was been trending downward. The Salukis are in the
midst of a four-game losing streak, which includes defeats in their first two
MVC games versus Bradley (66-60) and at Evansville last Saturday (85-68).
Wichita State got off to an outstanding 9-0 start, which allowed it to sneak
into the Top-25, but it promptly fell out of the rankings following a 69-60
loss at Tennessee in mid-December. The Shockers have gotten back on the
winning track of late, beating Bradley on Sunday (69-63) for their fifth
triumph in a row, and as a result have jumped back into the national rankings
this week.
The Shockers have won five of the last six matchups with the Salukis, but the
latter still leads the all-time series, 47-37.
Despite shooting an impressive 51 percent from the field against Evansville
the last time out, SIU fell to 0-3 in conference play by allowing the Purple
Aces to connect on nearly 58 percent of their total shots on their way to the
17-point victory. Jeff Early led the way for the Salukis with his fifth
double-double of the season, tallying 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Anthony
Beane (15 points) and Desmar Jackson (10 points) were also impressive in
defeat. SIU hasn't had much trouble shooting the ball, as it connects on a
solid 45.7 percent of their attempts from the field this season, but it has
only resulted in a scoring average 66.7 ppg (ninth in the MVC). Jackson has
been an effective all-around performer with 15.1 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 2.3 apg and 2.0
spg, although he does lead the team in turnovers with 41. Early's presence in
the paint has been a big help (13.2 ppg, 7.3 rpg), and with Dantiel Daniels
(10.8 ppg) out with a sprained ankle, Beane (9.9 ppg) has stepped up as the
team's third scoring option.
The Shockers faced a tough road matchup against Bradley on Sunday, and they
even trailed with less than four minutes remaining in the game. They finished
on a 10-2 run to capture the victory, and pacing the squad's 47.4 percent
field goal shooting was Cleanthony Early, who drained 8-of-14 from the floor
(including 4-of-7 from 3-point range) on his way to 24 points. Demetric
Williams was the only other player to net double figures with 10 points.
Wichita State has been strong at the offensive end of the court all year long,
scoring over 70 ppg, but the biggest reason for its success has been its
scoring defense, which ranks first in the MVC in allowing opponents to put up
a mere 57.9 ppg. With Carl Hall (13.9 ppg, 7.6 rpg) expected to miss another
week or two with a thumb injury, Early is the only Shocker to average double-
digits with his 13.9 ppg, although Williams (8.6 ppg) and Malcolm Armstead
(8.4 ppg) have increased their production in recent weeks. Additionally, the
team enjoys favorable margins in both rebounding (plus-8.2) and turnovers

London riots: Wood Green man jailed for fuelling police car blaze in Tottenham
07:15 12 May 2012
A man caught on CCTV placing a bag of rubbish in the boot of a burning police car during the Tottenham riots, fuelling the fire, has been jailed for three years.
Jobless Stuart Colin, 46, of Station Road, Wood Green, was also spotted on camera leaving the looted JD Sports and PC World stores in Tottenham Hale Retail Park with items in his hands.
Later that day he was caught on camera yet again, this time in Wood Green, carrying a bag of stolen DVDs. He told police that they had been given to him by an unknown male.
Car boot
In footage being analysed by the Metropolitan Police's riots team Operation Withern, Colin was spotted putting the bag into the car boot in High Road, Tottenham, as the riots raged around him.
He was identified by local officers and pleaded guilty to violent disorder, handling stolen goods and two counts of burglary.
He was sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court on Friday to three years' imprisonment for violent disorder and the burglaries, and 10 months concurrently for handling stolen goods.
Acting Det Sgt Claire Starr, of Operation Withern, said: "Stuart Colin had a key involvement in the initial disorder, quite literally adding fuel to the fire."

When all's futile
Medicine | Utilitarian medical ethics, high costs, and bio-babble all drive controversial health-care decisions in the post-Schiavo era
"When all's futile" Continued...
On April 21, a British judge rejected the pleas of Darren and Debbie Wyatt who had fought to keep their 18-month-old daughter Charlotte alive. Doctors say Charlotte, born three months premature, is brain-damaged, in continual pain, and likely terminal. Her parents say she can see and hear to a limited extent, and sometimes smiles. While London High Court Justice Mark Hedley agreed that the baby responds to loud noises and tracks the movement of a colorful toy, he upheld an order that would allow doctors to let Charlotte die if she stops breathing.
"I am quite clear that it would not be in Charlotte's best interests to die in the course of futile aggressive treatment," Justice Hedley said.
Welcome to the world of "medical futility," a term that is part real-world health care, part bioethical babble, and wholly at the root of some of the most controversial medical cases making headlines today.
Terri Schiavo's death trained public attention on "end-of-life" issues, particularly the importance of making one's wishes known concerning life support, nutrition, and lifesaving by "heroic means." In the 2005 legislative session alone, at least 11 states-Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, South Dakota, New Jersey, Wyoming, Missouri, New York, and Vermont-have considered bills that sharply restrict the withdrawal of nutrition from the disabled, or retool laws concerning living wills and surrogate health-care decision-makers.
Brightening legal lines around such issues may be Mrs. Schiavo's legacy, one perhaps more bitter than sweet. But another issue-who decides whether patients like her, those unable to speak for themselves, live or die-is growing less clear. Increasingly, some medical experts point out, clinicians rather than families or surrogates are deciding patients would be better off dead.
The pendulum of medical ethics is "now swinging toward a willingness to consider certain lives not worthy to be lived," said Gene Rudd, associate executive director of the Christian Medical Association.
Beginning last March, Donna Jandras, of Bethlehem, Penn., wrangled for 10 weeks with doctors at Lehigh Valley Hospital to do everything possible to keep alive her mother Loretta, 92, after a heart attack. But, backed by the institution's ethics committee, Lehigh's medical staff declined and placed a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order on Loretta's chart. Mrs. Jandras fought to have it removed. In the end, Mrs. Jandras had her mother transferred to another facility, where she died the next day.
In April 2005, the family of Spiro Nikolouzos, 68, succeeded in having him transferred back to a nursing home after a Houston hospital first removed his feeding tube, then threatened to remove his ventilator on the grounds that his condition was hopeless.
The medical profession has long held that doctors are not obligated to offer or even discuss treatment they consider scientifically futile. Over the past 40 years, light-year leaps in health-care technology have enabled physicians to save thousands of patients who couldn't be saved before.
Sometimes, those patients are breathing, but not conscious. Or barely conscious and in scorching pain. Or, like Mrs. Schiavo, conscious but profoundly brain-damaged. In a subset of such cases, patients, their families, or surrogates demand treatment doctors sincerely believe will be "futile" at best, and at worst, will harm the patient further.
"There are going to be times when a doctor, even a doctor committed to life-honoring treatment, will be expected to do something that is totally unreasonable from a scientific perspective," said Dr. Rudd. "The health-care community has to have some latitude to exercise scientific judgment."
But now, new motivations-philosophical and economic-have entered the mix: Does keeping this patient alive jibe with medical "justice," a socialistic version of legitimate concerns over the allocation of health-care resources? Will the patient have a "quality of life" the doctor deems acceptable? And under one poisonous rubric, known as "personhood theory," is the patient any longer a person at all? Meanwhile, in the context of stratospheric medical costs, the pressure to discharge patients quickly and send out a bill can affect life-or-death decisions.
At least three states-California, Texas, and Virginia-have passed laws that allow physicians to withhold or deny treatment over the objections of patients' families and surrogates. A growing number of medical facilities have installed "palliative care" units staffed with doctors and nurses who comfort instead of treat. In 2002, the number of such units had climbed to 951, or nearly one in five facilities, over 580 in 2000, according to the American Hospital Association. In addition, patient-doctor conflicts are resolved increasingly by ethics committees, some of whom lean heavily on "quality of life" and personhood theory in rendering decisions.
Meanwhile, individual hospitals are instituting policies controlling futile-care and DNR decisions. At the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), for example, if two doctors agree that a patient should not be resuscitated, they may issue a DNR order regardless of whether the family or surrogate objects.
When hospitals institute such policies, no announcement is made, said Wesley J. Smith, an attorney with the International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. "Indeed, the first time most learn of these matters is if they come up against a desire to terminate wanted life-sustaining treatment."
When disputes arise, they look something like this: A patient's family member wants doctors to render care that the doctors deem "futile" or "inappropriate." Medical staff, chaplains, social workers, and bioethicists will first try informally to resolve the problem. If neither side cedes ground, the matter will go before the hospital's bioethics committee. If the committee nixes the care the patient's family wants, the patient is left to die, unless the family fights for a transfer to another facility, or in court.
Mr. Smith noted, the majority of physicians "are overwhelmingly dedicated to the well-being and proper care of their patients." But, he said, that doesn't mean to blindly trust, as Kay McClanahan found out.
In April 2004, Bill McClanahan, 74, a retired federal intelligence officer, took his wife out to dinner then suffered a cardiac arrest. Medics were able to revive him. But Mrs. McClanahan now charges that doctors at MUSC immediately diagnosed Mr. McClanahan as a vegetable, then consistently ignored signs of improvement, withheld treatment (even for pneumonia), and urged her to let him die.
One doctor, Mrs. McClanahan said, told her she felt "an ethical duty" not to treat Mr. McClanahan because he would experience an "impaired quality of life." The same doctor, Mrs. McClanahan says, put a DNR order on her husband's chart against her wishes. When she objected, she says the attending physician told her about MUSC's two-doctor override policy.
"Bill was looking at me, smiling at me, coming back to me, yet somebody else had decided he would be better off dead. They told me that," Mrs. McClanahan said. "It was amazing how determined they were not to be proven wrong."
Mrs. McClanahan said she felt powerless against the array of MUSC doctors, legal personnel, and ethics committee members who, she said, agreed Mr. McClanahan should be allowed to die.
MUSC Medical Director John Heffner told WORLD that according to South Carolina law, when a patient is incapacitated, the hierarchy of authority for medical decision-making begins with the spouse. He also said he did "not have knowledge of those conversations" that led to the DNR order for Mr. McClanahan.
Asked whether it was true that his staff had encouraged Mrs. McClanahan to let her husband die, Dr. Heffner said, "I don't have firsthand knowledge of that. I'm sure a lot of caring comments were made and taken out of context."
Mrs. McClanahan said Dr. Heffner "answers questions like a politician." Last month, a Tennessee internist accepted care of her husband at a hospital where, Mrs. McClanahan reports, doctors and nurses are rendering compassionate care.
The definition of "caring" is at the root of the futile-care controversy. A growing number of physicians and medical ethicists opine that it is more compassionate to live and let die than to let live. It is in part the concept of medical futility, or "futile care," that drives this.
Prior to the 1950s, doctors-carrying admittedly fewer cures in their bags-exercised total control. Regarded by many as small-G gods in white coats, they generally ordered or denied treatment they deemed fit, and patients had little voice in the matter. But in the 1960s and '70s, the concept of "patient autonomy" emerged, and a series of court cases-Roe v. Wade among them-established the general principle that Americans have a right to control what is done to their bodies. That sent the ethical pendulum hurtling toward an untenable ethic of absolute patient autonomy.
About 15 years ago, doctors and ethicists began debating the concept of medical futility, partly as a way to reclaim some authority. But the concept proved an unwieldy beast as ideas on what, exactly, constituted "futile" were as varied as the details in each patient's case file. Attempts to neatly package any set of guiding principles or protocols proved-well, futile. In 1994 the American Medical Association issued an opinion that "denial of treatment should be justified by . . . openly stated ethical principles and acceptable standards of care . . . not on the concept of 'futility,' which cannot be meaningfully defined." Acceptable standards, the AMA stated, included resource allocation and quality of life.
Today, medical literature treats futile-care theory as unworkable in practice. But the theory lives on in disguise as the literature remains rife with discussions of medical "justice" (which used to mean nondiscrimination on the basis of race or ability to pay, but now means giving preferential care to those more likely to recover), "quality of life," and "personhood."
In a 2003 study published in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, David Isaacs of the Children's Hospital of Westmead in Australia concluded that "a person-centred approach [to brain death] can identify some humans, such as those in a persistent vegetative state, whose continued existence has lost value and whose lives we are not obliged to sustain."
A 2003 study by Swiss doctors found an unacceptable "cost per survivor" among intensive-care patients with hospital stays of longer than seven days. "Resource use per patient surviving the ICU was approximately 10-fold higher in patients with [a] long-term stay. . . . Further, quality of life has also to be taken into account. . . . To justify resource use for those with an extremely long stay, more needs to be known about the outcome of these individuals."
A 2005 study published in Ethics in Cardiopulmonary Medicine argues that it is not always necessary to allow a mentally competent but sedated terminal patient to participate in end-of-life decision-making. It is not always compassionate, argues author Mark R. Tonelli, to wake them up only to tell them they are dying.
When pernicious material in "the literature" reaches critical mass, the effect can be disastrous, said Christian Medical Association's Dr. Rudd, as has happened with "scientific" discussions of homosexuality, pedophilia, and assisted suicide, issues European researchers systematically destigmatized before sending them West.
American medicine now teeters on the edge of a dangerous utilitarian ethic: "Medicine has moved away from a covenant relationship to more of a contractual relationship that hinges on issues of economics and burdens on the health-care system," Dr. Rudd said. "Any life-honoring value system we still have might succumb to economic pressure. We have to shore up the value system now so that won't happen."

Serious question to diehard Clone fans: would any of you get an "Honor Before Victory" tattoo?

No, nor would I get any ISU tattoo.
God no.

This, maybe if I played for ISU i would.
If I was one who liked tattoos and had them (which I don't), maybe. I like the saying, like it's meaning.
No, but I don't really feel the need to put anything on myself. Probably due to being pail and freckled.
Working in Omaha/CB I see way too many douchy 'skers with N's tattoo'd on themselves. Looks hella lame.
I would never get any tattoo... I suppose that this makes me a rebel, a different sort that plays to his own tune. An individual who doesn't follow the herd. ;)
I always look at it as "Would I think of a Husker fan as a ****** if he had a similar Husker tattoo?" (Because I live in Omaha) The answer is always "Yes."

I got a tatoo when I was 18. Now 40 years later...................I hate it and would wish it away if I could.
1. Check first to see if your muffler is functioning adequately, and if your money would be better served by repairing a rusted out emissions system.
2. Donate to the Gridiron Club, the Cyclone Club or a charity of your choice.
3. Enjoy honor.
Got my first and only tat 34 years ago. Don't even notice it anymore. So I guess the answer is no.
"Just remember, what you choose to do with each day is very important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it" -ET
"I'm trying not to sweat the small stuff in my life, but there is a definite learning curve." -CE
If you want a tattoo, get it. It's your body and your money. Personally, I wouldn't get the "honor before victory" sign but that's just me. I think I would like it better in some kind of s-c-r-i-p-t, but I don't have a personal connection to it so I wouldn't get it for that reason.
I have 5 tattoos, am 30 years old and am a respected professional in my office. All of my tattoos are under clothing 98% of the time (though they aren't small), so only a few people even know I have them.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.
No, because I don't necessarily beleive in the saying...

The saying maybe. This sign or something that says ISU with it? Heck No
I got my first and only tattoo when I was 18 and 20-some years later I don't regret getting one, just the one I got. The thing about this idea is that it doesn't have to have anything to do with ISU. Not sure if it's what I'd get but I think if it's done right, I would like it.

Mavic's Yksion PowerLink Tire is designed for the rear of the bike and is a perfect complement to it front specific counterpart, the GripLink. Why put two different tires on the bike you may ask? That's because the front and rear tires perform their own role on the bike. The rear tire carries a greater percentage of the load of bike and rider than the front. Mavic created their tire sets to optimize performance and increase durability.
Mavic engineers gave the PowerLink a dual density rubber compound for the express purpose of reducing the rolling resistance and increasing energy transfer while maintaining superior cornering traction. The center strip of the tread uses harder 70a rubber. This gives the Yksion the hard wearing and fast rolling characteristics that Mavic intended. However, since safety and great performance depends on a good cornering grip, the rubber on the shoulders is a softer, far grippier 60a durometer.
The 127tpi casing is tough enough to fend off sidewall cuts and damage to the tire on coarse roads. To further maximize the puncture protection, Mavic layers a nylon breaker underneath the tread.
The Mavic Yksion PowerLink Tire is available in Black or White and is available in 700 x 23c only.

800 and Counting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used the Yksion system (Grip and Powerlink) for a full summer and probably put close to 2500 miles on them before relegating the Powerlink to the trainer. They were flawless, I would highly recommend using them as a system like Mavic suggests. They wore fairly evenly and are on all of my training wheelsets. I'm 800 in on my current set.
No Issues
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had good luck with this in conjunction with the Grip
Love them
I've put a few thousand miles on these tires. No punctures, no flats of any sort. Grippy enough, never had the tires slip in the rain except perhaps 2-3times pedalling hard up steep switchback curves in the rain - could've been road debris fault, plus those are just bad conditions for any slick tire. First set lasted me about 2,000 miles and I saved the tires for future use as they were not totally burned out by any means (may use them in the future as trainer tires). Lightweight IMO, and the durability + traction were the strong points in my experience. I currently have 3 sets of wheels outfitted with these.
So far so good...
So far I've done a half season of racing on these tires (or rather, the griplink/powerlink combo), with no problems at all. They seem to grip well, and don't give me slow leaks like my last tires!
Great Tires
I bought these tires to I replace my Schwalbe Zx Ultremos, I was skeptical being a Schwalbe loyal customer but decided to give these Mavic tires a chance. So far I've ridden over 500 miles and no problems what so ever. I passed on the savings to my peps in the peloton and they are also extremely satisfied.
With the Schwalbe's flats were a dime a dozen but I can honestly say that I am static that these tires are performing as well as they are. A few "minor" cuts but no flats, LOVING IT!
By the way, the powerlinks are recommended for the rear wheel and the Griplinks are for the front. I got them in the recommended set up and so far, I am very impressed.
I would recommend these 100%, and who can turn away from the great deal offered at REALCYCLIST.
Thanks REALCYCLIST for a great product and the lightning fast shipping....
Was excited about getting this set of tires hopefully as a fair and less expensive replacement for Gatorskins. Nope. 10 miles out on the first ride with this rubber, tire is ruined with a nice slice across it. Stuck on the side of the road in August in Florida. Ergh. Probably could have happened with the GS but, with thousands of miles gone by on GS and no such problem, I'm not going to scrimp anymore. 10 whole miles, it's going back. Hopefully the front one won't be as tragic.
Truth is, if you run over the wrong thing just about any tyre will flat. Not good on your first outing but just the luck of the draw. My experience with these tyres is that they are more flat resistant than others and do not tend to get cuts as much as say Vittoria's. I'd rate them 8/10!
Do the Mavic Yksion tubulars have a removable...
Do the Mavic Yksion tubulars have a removable stem core?
Can I run two Mavic/Yksion Powerlink tires...
Can I run two Mavic/Yksion Powerlink tires on my bike and how do these compare to Michelin's Lithium2 tires?
I have a buddy who's running two Griplink's on his bike (griplink is the front-specific tire) with no problems so far, but if Mavic makes a front and rear specific tire, why not follow their suggestions? The price isn't that different between the two.

Hi, everybody. I'm new in Zimbra members. Nice to meet you all.
I want to ask a few questions, few month ago I install zimbra in my server and it work well, but I have a more jobs to do. I want my zimbra server can send sms to user if user were received an email, user will be warned by sms user got (just warned). And if user send an sms to sms gateway about how much email user received from his friends (ex: Alfred) then my sms gateway counting and sending back sms to user how much it is. Oh, I almost forgot. I used Suse 10.2 in my server and I use Handphone Nokia 2626 for my sms gateway. Which could I used (ex: kannel or gnokii which the best???) and I want to use bash for my program (oh, my program is automatically received and send an sms to user) how the script is???
BTW, thank's everybody who could solve my problem.

It's a big day for Seamus. There has been a very important addition to his family today.
No, not the McManus family. The Cloud Family.
What's that? No, Cloud is not the maiden surname of Mrs. Seamus McManus. Allow me to clarify: I'm talking about Cloud Computing. Yes, that's right. Our Seamus is the father of Cloud Computing. I know the Pulse fans know all about it from the session "Aligning IT to Business - Competitive Advantage of Cloud Computing" that was featured at Pulse 2009 and Pulse Comes to You local events.
I have been thinking of Seamus a lot lately in anticipation of the arrival of this new addition christened, IBM CloudBurst. I really wanted to congratulate him, you know, pay my respects. And invite him to the webcast scheduled in honor of the arrival next Thursday. It's going to be a big hit. BTW – you're all invited, too.
So I did what anyone would do when looking for someone.
I looked Seamus up on Facebook.
To my dismay, my search netted eleven, yes - eleven Seamus McManuses. Who knew the name Seamus McManus was all that common? I only know of one.
I also know this:
If Seamus were a female, I would have found her on the first try. I know this for a fact because me and most of my lady friends of the hitched marital status include our maiden names on our Facebook profiles so long lost buddies can find us. It works. My BFF from 1st grade that I haven't spoke to in about 20 years recently found me. No, she didn't write LYLAS on my wall . . . yet.
Alas, most of the Seamus's on Facebook have the cartoon instead of a personalized picture, so I still haven't been able to connect with our hero. Can you imagine if my well-intended sentiments on the bouncing baby . . . . nebula? . . . (I don't even know) went to the wrong guy? Embarrassing.
So will the real Seamus McManus please stand up?
Ok everybody. Let's all give him a round of applause. Well done!
(And upload a personalized photo on your FB profile, already!)
