A Washington County teenager was invited to the 2015 Junior Olympic Championships earlier this month in Colorado and he returned home with gold and silver medals after taking part in three events.
Mason Hamilton, 13, qualified for the competition on Dec. 13 and made his way to Colorado Springs from April 28 to May 6 for the 14-and-under (J3 division) championships in air rifle, small-bore and 3x40 small-bore.
They fought until the very end, and even when it they were defeated, they never let their heads down.
The Washington County Commanderettes lost their chance to earn the accolade of being the 19th District champions when they fell to the Bethlehem Banshees 8-1 on May 18. It was the third time the Commanderettes have been defeated by the Banshees this season, falling to them previously 19-6 and 9-3.
"Just because we didn't win doesn't mean we can't play," Commanderettes head coach Christy Baker said after the game.
Bottom of the seventh, two outs, game tied 3-3 - everything is on the line.
Rain came down in a light drizzle as the Washington County Commanders took home the 19th District championship in an epic fashion on May 18 when sophomore infielder Michael
Chastain slammed a base hit to drive in senior infielder Wade Moore for the win.
Washington County High School senior Anthony Osbourne took fifth place in the 200-meter dash at the state track meet on May 23, which was hosted at the University of Kentucky's outdoor track facility.
"That was the sixth time he's run the 200-meter," the track team's head coach Eric Sagrecy said. "…to finish fifth at state your first year of doing something is pretty impressive… I'm really proud of him."
The Washington County Commanders (19-10) wrapped up their regular season last week after notching a 6-4 win over the Lincoln County Patriots (10-23) on Washington County's senior night, and a 5-4 win over the Atherton Rebels (15-16) on May 13.
Commanders head coach Adam Blair said he was going to miss his seniors because they've been through a lot the last four years, and when they were freshmen, he was a freshman coach.
It's been four years since the Washington County Commanderettes have been to the regional tournament, but as of Monday night, that all changed.
The Commanderettes won their first game of the 19th District Tournament in a no-holds-barred fight against the Nelson County Lady Cardinals (10-20), defeating them 13-9 under a black and starless sky.
For Commanderettes head coach Christy Baker, only one word could describe the moment as the Commanderettes celebrated their victory – "amazing."
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) officially announced the 45-team field for the 2015 NAIA National Championship Opening Round. The event will take place May 12-15 at nine different locations. Each site will feature a five-team, double-elimination tournament with the winners joining host Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) at the 59th annual Avista-NAIA Baseball World Series in Lewiston, Idaho, May 22-29.
The Washington County Commanders entered the week on a three-game winning streak, only to notch two more victories by Tuesday night, when they defeated the Campbellsville Eagles 4-2 and the Thomas Nelson Generals 14-2.
The North Oldham Mustangs would halt the streak when they defeated the Commanders 13-1 Friday.
"That's the first time I've ever played them," Commanders head coach Adam Blair said after the game. "... they're a very good team."
The Washington County Commanderettes entered their week like a freight train, plowing through the competition and defeating the Thomas Nelson Generals and the Bardstown Lady Tigers. Unfortunately, the girls would end the week with a loss when the Generals did a 180 and defeated them, 11-9, on May 7.
Thomas Nelson
The Commanderettes put the Thomas Nelson Generals on ice for their first game of the week, taking them out 10-1.
It was a busy week for Washington County High School's track team as they hit the road to compete in the Taylor County All-Comer's meet on May 7 and the Class 1 A Region 3 Meet, hosted at Green County High School, on May 9.
"I was hoping we would be more competitive at some of the early events," Washington County track coach Eric Sagrecy told the Sun as the regional meet unfolded."

This is another article in a series of articles examining the films that Adam Sandler has written according to IMDB to see why his older films are so revered compared to his ones more recently. We'll look at critics reviews and take it one film at a time to see why he is so hated critically yet so loved at the box office.
Let's start by saying that we're not trying to place a definition on comedy itself as it is subjective because in a sense thinking about what makes you laugh is ironical and makes no sense. This is more of a personal journey on nostalgia and personal sense of humor. Maybe it'll lead to dark insight or nothing at all. If you find these films funny then pay no attention as you should with any movie or media you enjoy criticized to an umpteenth degree by anyone. Now on with Billy Madison.
For the very few who haven't seen Billy Madison, it revolves around Adam Sandler as a man child who days consist of getting drunk with mooching friends. His dad, a hotel chain owner, wants to step down from the company and hand it over to Billy but thinks he is too immature because he has bought his way through school and is thinking of handing the company over to his second in command, Eric. Billy, enraged by this, hatches a crazy plan in order to prove to his dad he can handle the company and that's to complete every grade from Kindergarten through 12th grade over 24 weeks with time to allow him for two weeks per grade. Billy's dad agrees to the crazy idea and Billy goes back to school to relearn everything.
First off, the acting which I know you can't judge too harshly especially in comedy but everyone here is spot on. But though everyone obviously loves Sandler's zaniness and this would kickstart his career, the real underrated hero though is Bradley Whitford as Eric Gordon who plays the villain in such a memorable way that you love to hate him with his squirrely antics.
Now the comedy still surprisingly holds up after all these years and that's tough considering when most have seen this movie is through those nostalgia goggles of an 8 year old ready to laugh himself silly. It's almost in an entirely different way as the film just feels darker after all these years. Of course everyone knows O' Doyle rules, but then seeing five generations of their family go off a cliff and cease to be by running over a banana peel feels incredibly darker now then back then. But still funny. Or how Billy throughout the film ridicules the kids in elementary school. It's understandable that an adult with a childlike mentality wouldn't care about age at all and still hilarious but seeing it now is insane compared to how politically correct his films are with kids almost being the co-star.
Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 46% and general consensus overall is that it is a love it or hate it movie. You either love to watch a film where you don't have to think about the jokes and it moves at a breakneck pace or you hate it because it's an adult acting like a kid ridden with ADD for 90 minutes and if you wanted to see that you could go to your local social services.
Compared to today's Sandler, he feels more alive than ever. Laying it all out on the field for all to see. Most jokes stick but some do fall and at least the film knows to move it along if a joke doesn't work. For instance, in Grown Ups 2 we the cliff scene is dragged out like it's Edward Norton in American History X but we need reaction shots from everyone in the film and still somehow have deleted scenes for the DVD.
Overall, this Sandler is what is missing from today. The no holds barred, willing to take pot shots at anyone and try and squeeze every joke possible from what is given. Instead of being an ensemble piece it's nice to have Adam Sandler alone which feels missing from today. I mean even in Jack and Jill, it was still an ensemble piece in a way as you had Al Pacino though you had two Adam Sandlers. This even has balance though with Billy's antics being questioned constantly by Eric and everyone around him. Regardless, if you haven't seen it in awhile and miss the old Adam Sandler, go watch it now, it still holds up.
As always, that's my opinion, what's yours?

My best friend loves our Toasted Praline coffee, but can't have it due to the caffeine (doctors orders due to cysts). This decaf is PERFECT for her! We drink the regular toasted praline and she gets to enjoy the decaf and the delicious flavor of the toasted praline. Subtle flavor. Highly recommend this coffee!

Kansas could have a new secretary of state next week to replace Republican Ron Thornburgh, who resigned Feb. 15.
Gov. Mark Parkinson says Friday that he could name Thornburgh's replacement next week.
The Kansas Constitution requires the governor to replace a statewide elected official to finish an unexpired term. Kansans will elect a new secretary of state in November.
Parkinson isn't bound by Thornburgh's party affiliation and could name a Democrat to fill the vacancy.
His predecessor, Kathleen Sebelius, picked Democrat Dennis McKinney to replace Republican Lynn Jenkins after she was elected to Congress in 2008.
There is no deadline for Parkinson to fill the vacancy in the agency. The appointment doesn't require legislative approval.

(NBC) - A new study shows those who eat seven servings of vegetables and fruit a day live longer.
Mom always said eat your veggies, and now it's not just five fruits and veggies a day.
A new study says getting seven or more can prolong your life, and it says vegetables are better than fruit.
Researchers at University College London say eating seven servings vegetables and fruit a day decreases your risk of death, from a number of diseases, by 42 percent, compared with those eating one serving or less.
While seven servings of fruits and vegetables may sound possible, what exactly would it take to get seven veggies a day?
Getting a variety of color, then hiding vegetables in omelets, meat loaf, and soups, and having a salad for lunch.

Battles over water have plagued the west since the arrival of the first settlers. A modern day water war could possibly descend upon Nevada's wild horses and burros. A draft letter presented to the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners in Reno on saturday calls for federal agencies to remove all wild horses and burros making illegal use of Nevada water. The newly formed Feral Horse Committee presents the argument that they are not deemed to be wildlife by either the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the state of Nevada. Therefore, by Nevada law, the animals have no " beneficial use designation" for water rights within the state.
The five page letter outlines the committee's legal reasoning and requests Nevada's Division of Water Resources to:
- Notify each federal agency that is harboring free and wild roaming horses and burros that the continued use of water for which there is no designated beneficial use is in violation of Nevada Law
- Notify each federal agency that the known incidents of FWRHB causing degraded water quality, often complete loss of spring or seep discharge, and interference with the use of that water by Nevada wildlife is in violation of Nevada Law.
- Instruct the federal agencies to immediately remove any FWRHB that are making unlawful use of Nevada waters.
Water rights and the use of public lands form a complicated issue dating back to the Taylor Grazing Act signed into law by President Roosevelt in 1934. The Free Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971 added equines to the mix. Various Public Land acts, both state and federal, also have their say and Nevada Revised Statutes come into play with this particular issue. If these are not confusing enough, add to it all the layers of Nevada government. The Feral Horse Committee is a subcommittee of the Nevada Wildlife Board of Commissioners, a commission within the Nevada Department of Wildlife. It's no wonder that John Q. Public hasn't a clue as to what all this means. With Nevada range lands being home to the vast majority of Americas wild horses and burros, the implications are manifold. Whether estray, feral or just plain mustangs and burros, they must have water to survive.
Because of a possible error in procedural rules of order pointed out by wild horse advocates, the Board of Commissioners voted to take no action until their next meeting which is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas February 5th & 6th of next year.
Discussion amongst commissioners prior to the vote appeared to be in favor of approval. Mike Stremler, committee chairman, stated on several occasions that water was BLM's "Achilles heel". Commissioner Michael McBeath voiced his disapproval of too many horses on public lands. Commissioner Hank Vogler, also a member of the Feral Horse committee, suggested the Department of Wildlife bring suit against the BLM requiring wild horse populations be kept at appropriate management level, a tactic used successfully by the state of Wyoming.
There has been no public statement defining the purpose of the Feral Horse Committee. Though chairman of the Governors Wildlife Commission, Scott Raine, is reported to have described committee members as "the foremost experts on the issue of feral horses", their qualifications as such have not been made known.
It should be pointed out that some committee members are proponents of returning to the days of mustanging. Feral horse committee member, George Parman, recently wrote in Scott Raine's blog site,
"Now, what we need to do, is to let the ranchers and the mustangers take care of the problem, just as they did in the old days...The best of the horses were put on the market for people to use and enjoy [after mustangers rounded them up]. The remainders of the older and less undesirable animals were euthanized via a facility that made good use of the end product."
There is no doubt the subject of wild horses is a volatile one. From all appearances, America will have to wait at least until February to learn the outcome of yet another attack on their existence.

Urinal entomology
Last Friday, there were 2 of these dead bugs in one of the urinals in the men's room at Fletcher's Cove along the C&O Canal. After I finished my business, I flushed, but the bugs remained. So I took out my camera and photographed them.
They appear to be some sort of stink bug (Pentatomidae).
Luckily, no one came in while I was stooping over the urinal with the camera against my face pointing inside. It would have been difficult to explain my motives.

Kidnapped Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- There are three women in Kidnapped: Jennet Clouson (Ebenezer's angry tenant), Mrs. Stewart (James Stewart's wife), and the maid who helps Alan and Davie across the bay into Queensferry. Why are there so few? How would Kidnapped be different if Alan were Alanna instead? Why might Stevenson's story for boys have only boys in it?
- Davie and Alan are the novel's main characters. Every other character appears in the novel for a handful of chapters at most. How would the novel change if there were only Davie or only Alan? What role does their friendship play in making the novel work?
- As Kidnapped's first-person narrator, Davie is unusually opinionated and free with the foreshadowing. What would be the effect of telling Davie's story from the perspective of another character? Or as a third-person novel? What would be some of the benefits and/or drawbacks of this?
- The famous American novelist Henry James (who was one of Robert Louis Stevenson's great friends) commented that the character of Alan Breck was a "masterpiece" (source: Iain Galbraith, "Notes." In Kidnapped. Köln, Germany. Könemann Publishers, 1996). What might James mean by this? Do you perceive Alan as a greater or lesser character than the protagonist, Davie Balfour?
- In our "Classic Plot Analysis," we track the search for Davie's inheritance, since that storyline both starts and ends the book. Are there other plot trajectories that we could have chosen as the primary plot of the novel? How do these other plots begin and end? Do they center around other characters besides Davie?

EUGENE, Ore. – The University of
Oregon's Oct. 6 football game vs. the University of Washington has been chosen to
start at 7:30 p.m. and televised by ESPN as part of the Pac-12 Conference's
network television agreement.
The late start will mark the Ducks' third night game among its first five encounters in Autzen Stadium this year – a fact that has not gone unnoticed by the school's Director of Athletics Rob Mullens.
"We have heard from concerned fans, particularly those who travel to Eugene, about television driving an increased number of night games at Autzen Stadium," Mullens said. "While the Pac-12 has outstanding television partners providing desired exposure for our programs, we are sympathetic to the hardship night games place on fans who travel from out of the area. Prior to the Washington announcement, we were in communication with ESPN and the Pac-12, lobbying vigorously for an earlier kickoff, given it will be our third consecutive 7:30 p.m. start. This television window for ESPN and college football fans has one of the strongest audiences and incredible national exposure for our program and through our television agreements with the Pac-12, ESPN does have this contractual right to select this time slot.
"With success comes increased national interest and television exposure, which includes night games instead of day football," Mullens added. "The Oregon brand drives television ratings, as last season three of the top ten regular-season broadcasts in college football involved us, thanks to a nationwide following. Ideally, we would choose to play our games earlier in the day so our great fans all over the region could travel easily. With this in mind, we will continue to advocate on your behalf regarding game times."
This year will mark the fourth time in the last 10 meetings that the interstate rivalry will have been played at night.
Standing room-only tickets for the game have been placed on sale to go along with a limited number of remaining reserved seats.
The cost of standing room tickets is $49 each while reserved seats are $93, with all tickets on sale at the Moshofsky Center ticket office, the Matthew Knight Arena ticket office, on-line at www.goducks.com/tickets, and by calling 541-346-4461 (or 1-800-WEBFOOT).

Everyone is guilty of playing corpse tag. You may not be aware of it but you've probably become quite good at the latest internet craze.
Corpse tag is the race which occurs across the globe each time some celebrity passes on.
Ethical concerns aside- watching how you and your network reacts online to the death of some one of note or a bit of bad news can teach you volumes about the best practices of real time marketing.
With the increased forms of instant communication creeping into every corner of our lives, real time marketing has become the holy grail of community engagement strategies. The internet is awash with articles on the formal definitions & traditional tactics used to optimize ROI.
As is to be expected Pete & the crew at Mashable.com have the best break down things on the dynamic on the fly field of real time marketing.
Here are three real time marketing tales which all use innovative approaches to real time marketing.
Peter Seeger Everybody's Cool Hero
A huge chapter of American history closed when the news of Pete Seeger's death at the age of 94 began to trickle onto the feeds of social media enthusiasts. From world leaders to the youth he worked with on his beloved New York waterways the web was awash in digital expressions of gratitude for the once black listed icon.
This civil rights pioneer understood the value of networking with like minded friends and stayed connected to the world through out his long career using many forms of media so it was amazing to see the amplification of his dreams, hopes & vision of global understanding in this round of corpse tag.
Shortly after the news had been confirmed and the initial out pouring online efforts by his already existing community began.
Two best examples include:
Hudson River Pete Seeger Naming Campaign
Occuping Sandy Aid Recovery
The waters of super storm Sandy have long since left the coastal areas of the East Coast but the effects of it's impact are just being understood. The mutual aid efforts of the Occupy Movement demonstrated the power of social media as effective tools for disaster response & emergency relief.
Mobilizing even as the storm hit occupiers leveraged the hash tags #SandyAid & #SandyVolunteer to create a crowd sourced driver dispatch network to begin supporting neighbors effected by the storm.
The creative re-purposing of Amazon's Bridal Registries allowed the activists to solicit donations of items specifically requested by the Sandy storm survivors quickly and with little or no over head.
Using the Twitter based hash tag dispatch & the online registries Occupy was able to work side by side with neighbors building trust & their knowledge base to help with long term recovery projects.
Two such Projects
Staten Island Community Tool Library
Midland Avenue Neighborhood Relief
Fighting the Cold in Guy Fawkes Mask
Every time it drops below freezing you see a subtle form of the corpse tag game in the posts of scruffy men, malnourished children & ice encrusted puppies that get posted. Compassion for those in need when the thermometer drops is the first thing many charities play upon to get needed donations.
Started in the UK in November of 2013 Operation Safe Winter was begun as a simple attempt to help those living in the rough with some needed blankets & media attention spread globally like wildfire. Now in 9 countries the Anonymous network provides on going coordinated support to areas facing freezing temperatures on a regular basis.
Informed by their participation with Sandy aid efforts & the Occupy movement the New York chapters of OpSafeWinter have focused on long term food secuirty to the houseless.
While every organization & brand is trying to get cash donations during bad weather the Anonymous network calmly connects neighbors to sources of online support.
The model of incite, engage & inform used teaches volumes on the ins & outs of real time marketing.

Cross Country To Compete In The UW-Parkside Invitational
Oct. 5, 2012
CHICAGO - The UIC cross country teams are set to compete in the UW-Parkside Invitational in Kenosha, Wis., Saturday at 10:00 a.m. CT. The women's 5K race starts at 10:00 a.m., while the men's 8K race will begin at 11:00 a.m. Saturday's race serves as a great opportunity for the Flames as the Horizon League Championship on Oct. 27 will be held at the same location.
"What we have to do more than anything else is close the gap on our number one and number seven runners and also close the gap on Loyola," said head cross country coach Jim Knoedel. "I know the experience of the course will help a lot because there is a big hill on the course, and I think that the more accustomed we are to the course, the more prepared we will be for the Horizon League Championship."
Most recently, the men's and women's teams participated in the Loyola Lakefront Invitational where freshman Pat Niyork placed 51st overall with an 8K time of 26:05. Sophomore Rebecca Zaiter guided the women and placed 100th in the 5K race with a season-best result of 19:06.
Be sure to check back at UICFlames.com for complete results and a recap of the UIC cross country team's performance at the UW-Parkside Invitational.

Wherein we ponder vexing issues in infection prevention and control, inside and outside the hospital.
Thursday, June 24, 2010
We're good enough, we're smart enough, and doggone it, people like us!
Today's daily affirmation for infectious diseases doctors comes to us from Dave Warren's group at Washington University and is published in this month's American Journal of Medicine. In this study, the authors evaluated 341 cases of Staph. aureus bacteremia and compared outcomes between those patients who had an infectious diseases consult and those who didn't. Not at all surprising to any of us was that in multivariable analysis, patients who had ID consults had a 56% reduction in 28-day all-cause mortality, even though by most metrics the patients who had the consults were sicker. So when you start your rounds tomorrow consider yourself an independent predictor of good outcomes!

Thanks for posting on this, Mike.ReplyDelete
Similar findings in this recently published study from Germany:
This begs a question: how far should we go to "encourage" ID consults in every case of S. aureus bacteremia? Should it be automatic? Should we add a text comment to the micro lab report, suggesting an ID consult and citing this literature?
Would we go to jail for self-referral?ReplyDelete

How to Manage an Online Class
Starting school in a new environment is always a challenge. Most students attend school in the traditional way of physically going to a location, sitting in a classroom, and being taught by the instructor. With the advancements in technology the way people attend school is rapidly changing. Online programs are growing in popularity and many students prefer the format over traditional attendance. The following will provide a few tips on organizing information to manage an online degree program.
Get Organized to Succeed
Regular classes provide structure with regular class attendance, written assignments, and deadlines. An online program remains flexible while offering many of the same opportunities to have a structured program. At the start of an online program at the University of Phoenix, each student is provided a Course Syllabus, Instructor Policies, and often a Course Calendar. Review of this material will provide a basic outline of expected assignments and time commitments.
Step 1: Build a folder on your computer for each course you are taking. Name the folder either by course name such as "Organizational Design" or by the Course number HRM/530. This will allow you to return to the course material as needed in future courses.
Step 2: In the folder build 7 additional folders for a 6 week course. Label each folder as Week 1, Week 2, Week 3… The seventh folder will be for your "Class Materials" such as your syllabus, rubric, e-books, etc.
NOTE: Working from a new folder each week will help you keep track of what is due, where you are saving your current project, and the chapters from the e-books as well as any other electronic articles you may download from your research.
Step 3: As you begin taking your online course use the folder you have created to store your information and assignments. Typically online programs focus on writing papers, reading, and research. Depending on the program you may also be required to take online exams. The folders will keep your information organized for easy access while studying or writing.
Step 4: Keep your folders for future reference. Throughout your degree program you may need to reference a paper you previously wrote, or you can access e-books and other information easily if it is stored in an organized way.
Schedule in School Daily
Step 5: Create a personal schedule for when you will look at the class forum, complete discussion questions (DQs), and work on weekly assignments. In an online program students are more independent and therefore need to have self-discipline to succeed. Take a few minutes each morning before work to view the classroom forum. Get an idea of how much time you will need and then plan ahead to schedule time during your lunch break or after work to accomplish the assignments.
NOTE: Keeping track of reoccurring events such as DQs and weekly assignments on a calendar populated with the information can help students to complete task on time. Each week students can view the calendar and know they have a DQ due Wednesday and Friday and the main assignment is due on Monday.
Remain Involved
Step 6: Stay involved with the class. "Out of sight, out of mind" can easily happen if daily life interferes with online school attendance. Work to check the classroom forum daily and no less than four times a week to stay involved with the class.
Step 7: Accomplish the small things. Many of the points are awarded for small assignments such as completion of the DQs, classroom discussion, or small assignments due weekly. Don't let something slide just because it is only worth one or two points. Just like with money, those small points add up and can make the difference from a B+ to an A. You will be kicking yourself at the end of the course if you miss the desired grade by one point.
Be Responsible and Ask Questions
Step 8: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Although much of the learning in the online program is self initiated through reading of course materials and research, the instructor is there to guide you and to answer questions you may have. Use the forum to ask questions, but remember it is your responsibility to read the course material such as e-books and articles to gain a better understanding of the topics.
Step 9: Work harder when a team is relying on you to do your part. Nothing is worse than having a team member who doesn't communicate well, turns in assignments late, or doesn't hold up their end of the deal. Other students take note of this and it may hurt you later on in your career.
Step 10: Set goals and stay committed. It is easier to fall out of touch with classmates and staying in school is more difficult when a student is completing an online degree program. Talk to others about what you are doing so they can help support you and understand why you are not spending time socializing as often. Staying committed to your career and education goals will help you to succeed in an online degree program.
Starting a degree program is a daunting task. It takes time and commitment to succeed and achieve a diploma. Set your goals before you begin school and discipline yourself to complete each task. Get organized, stay in touch, and stay focused to manage your online program. Doing so will create a standard for performance leading to success.
Do you have any suggestions for completing or managing an online degree program? What was the biggest problem or challenged you faced during our program? Feel free to share your thoughts on online degree programs with our readers.

Fritzi believes that Mr. Carlitos may have exacerbated this injury by evading the clutches of Ms. BrewersBabe.
In regards to Delfino, and the signing of F.A. in general, can someone give me the timeframe in which players can be spoken too but not signed, then signed. I also beleive there is a split in teams signing their own FA's, and then those restricted FA's can test the market?
Anyone have that itinerary handy, or do I need to shift to warp drive and hit the cyberspace bar?Hide replies
kstein, I'm not sure, but I see nothing "legally" that would prevent the Bucks from negotiating with Delfino up until July, when his free agency kicks in. The reason I suspect no team would do that is because they'd be negotiating against themselves. Also, it wouldn't behoove Delfino to "settle" for the Bucks offer, because he'd have no idea if someone else would offer more.
If they really wanted him, he,probably could be had for lesss than his last contract. At some point you have to roll the dice and believe you can do better than that.
Skiles back and excited to pick up where things were left off... Hammond back... Delfino resigned... It just doesn't get much better than that. Dare to dream, Bucks fans! :(
you could also work a sign and trade? to some advantage?
Frankly, it strikes a new low for the "liberal media elites" to ignore Our timely request to participate in the mock draft while representing Washington. It wouldn't be surprising to receive such treatment in many of the Eastern Large Markets, yet to experience it here, in what I've come to consider a welcoming haven, smacks of the sort of pandering socialism one might find on your typical Chicago Bulls blog.
In other words, PUT ME DOWN FOR WASHINGTON, Mr Pandemonium!Hide replies
Make Fritzi's pick in the Mock Residential Election: Mr. Lyndon LaRoche.
Frankly, Mr LaRouche should be a cautionairy tale to anyone (such as yourself) untroubled by the dangers of mixing rampant paranoia with too much sugar.

I see JS is back to their old tricks, trying to make me seem foolish by doubling my posts. They have certainly had a "red letter' week haven't they? This aggression shall not stand!
Yea, that's it, its the double posts that make you look foolish?
It's good that the thumbers made sure to give the duplicate posts the same number of thumbs, otherwise there might've been some confusion on how they really felt.
that consistently points to one guy witt 5 handles?
think maybe 1 of the 5 was a lyndon larouche fan?
Hurry back Carlos!! Skiles needs you as a starter next year.
Been researching Toronto for the blog-mock draft (block-mog, mog-block) and have only confused the ever living criminy out of myself.
They have more bigs than Hammond could dream of. 4, count 'em Four seven footers.Hide replies
Hammond traded big for small, which goes against the general rule. That's a mistake that can't be undone. Good luck finding a trading partner willing to make the same mistake.
How bout Mahimi from dallas, he should be available when they get SupahMahn?

delmonte's gonna give harden's beard a wet willie tonight.
To avoid any confusion the 1:38 entry regarding Delfino has more to do with the time line I seek, then the signing of Carlos. I'm curious as to the committment by the organization in whether they wish to retain those not yet signed, and also looking to see who the Bucks maybe interested in bringing in from that FA list......As for Delfino I'm luke warm on his return......I'm puzzled at the disdain for a guy who seems to do all he was asked, played the positions needed, stellar D, and ran the floor very well. Yea, his outside shooting, at times, was pretty horrendous, but, he also hit some clutch shots along the way. It seems his departure would please many. We'll see shortly how this thing works itself out? He's one of those guys that really seems to love playing the game. I respect that, and I respect Delfino's hard work. Change for change is not all that its cracked up to be, or at least so it seems?Hide replies
all true steiner, howevahh his role on the team is duplicitous, we have duns and young tobias. Somebuddy will throw more money than we care to match, anyway, that's why he's probably gone not cause he sux.
Agreed. Hence, maybe it is time for his departure. The Harris kid seems like the goods, and if so, needs minutes. It always seems like such a log jam at the three and four, and yet, somehow Skiles does a fair job of gettting minutes to most. (no, not the first yr. kids)
risking being labled a Skiles apologist for life, he did give leuer and toby some spot starts and random minutes, the caveat being he did not leave them hang out to dry when they were overmatched defensively, thereby avoiding permanent damage to fragile r00kie psyches.
Nuances such as you mention at paragraphs end rarely get much air play here {wingo}. I know Skiles rubs people wrong, I get that, but, can those same people 'see' this man is a pretty good coach? (i.m.o. of course).
Oh, and no worries about the 'apologist' part. Skiles doesn't accept them. Or, give them for that matter>>>
The permanent damage to fragile psyches line pretty much cinches the apologist for life.
touche!!! lemmings!!!! i'll assume ownership on dat 1!!!!
It seems Delfino means different things to different people. Some would like to see him gone just to stick it to Scotty. I think most see his value as a backup, but cannot trust he would be used that way.Hide replies
Oh lord yes....Projection and / or tranferrence of anger / depression is huge in these parts as is the not mentioned 'scape-goating'. Look for all three to be actively in play when the duo of Delfino/Skiles is bantered.
And, I would both concurr and encourage the sitting of a one Del Fino so Anotther may start. Use Delfino along with Dunleavy (he's not going to start either) in forward switches. Both hoops savants. Com'mon...how does anyone NOT like (personally) Delfino...the guys a stitch, and again, he loves the game, and respects his coach. Poor bastage, that sure isn't cool; litttle concrete cred there.
It's good that you two have everyone else figured out. IAT taught you well. Carry on............................................................................ Out.

Josephine Hull Movies and Career Information
Jan 03, 1886
Josephine Hull (born January 3, reportedly 1886, but probably 1883 – died March 12, 1957) was an American actress. She had a successful 50-year career on stage while taking some of her better known roles to film. Hull was born as Josephine Sherwood in Newtonville, Massachusetts to William H. Sherwood and Mary Elizabeth Tewkesbury. She attended the New England Conservatory of Music (Boston) and Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Hull made her stage debut in stock in 1905, and after some years as a chorus girl and touring stock player, she married actor Shelley Hull (the elder brother of actor Henry Hull) in 1910. After her husband's death as a young man, the actress retired until 1923, when she returned under the name Josephine Hull. She and Shelley Hull had had no children. Josephine Hull had her first major stage success in George Kelly's Pulitzer-winning Craig's Wife in 1926. Kelly wrote a role especially for her in his next play, Daisy Mayme, which also was staged in 1926. She continued working in New York theater throughout the 1920s. In the 30s and 40s, Hull appeared in three Broadway hits, as a batty matriarch in You Can't Take It With You (1936), as a dotty,

We continue our Pagan product and business review today by looking at Four Corners and More Cedar Rub. Many in this readership may have experienced the delightful mastery of this one woman business by attending her Annual Women's Getaway Weekend Awaken Your Inner You! FREE Seminars and Workshops facilitated by the owner, N'ish Tuwa O'Teanea.
You also may have seen her last year at Lansing Pagan Pride Day, where she offered massage crystal therapy and buffalo healing. She was also a vendor at ConVocation 2013.
The Cedar Rub is described by the maker as
"a proprietary blend of cedar, juniper, mint, ladies thumb, avocado, safflower, almond, jojoba herbs and oils, bees wax, and steric acid."
That is quite a lot to blend. But the question is "does it work". And the answer?
This salve did wonders for the chronic asthmatic who used it, specifically this writer. Formulated by a Natural Medicine practitioner, this blend is both fragrant without being abrasive, and easily applied. She also is one of the many Native American business owners in the Pagan community.
For those unfamiliar with the term salve, it is basically the same thing you use when you grab the Vick's Vapor Rub style products. Medicinal oils, and sometimes herbs as well, as infused into a base and applied to the body for the purpose of a soothing or healing effect. Unlike a poultice, it is broken down in form and meant to be slathered onto the body.
The consistency of the salve is thicker than most over the counter salves one would find in the allopathic battery of medicinals. After one year's time, it is still effective. The ingredients have not gone rancid, and the product remains stable. Even normal summer heat did not break it down.
The four ounce size was priced at $26.50, which for those not familiar with what they are getting seems a little high. However, for those familiar with the work and care with which the product is made, the longevity of the shelf life, and the amount of uses that one can actually garner from it, it is very reasonable indeed.
This product rates and enthusiastic thumbs up.
For more information on how products like this are made, you may wish to read "A Kid's Herb Book: For Children of All Ages" by Lesley Tierra. This book is on my own shelf and is a great resource for everyone.
Blessed Be.

best pants ever
By Camilla
from Phoenix, AZ
Comments about Seasonless Travel Pants:
I did not expect these pants to fit so well. I bought them 5 months after giving birth to my second baby and they really helped my body esteem! I love them, wear them for work, travel and they look so great and are so comfortable. Even for a hot weather I dont feel too hot in them although the material is quite thick. The combination of a bit of elasticity and thickness of the material makes a great shape.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comfortable but small
By Birder Ju-Ju
from Oklahoma City, OK
Best Uses
These were a comfortable low rise pant with a quality durable and elastic fabric and with no zipper or buttons. I loved how they hung - not too tight, not too loose and they seem like they would keep their crease. The pant length hung just above the ankle and would be cute with flip-flops, or heels - not so much hiking boots though. These would probably be too warm for tropical travel, but perfect for cool to cold climes. For active travel these may not be very functional as they have no pockets - a mush have for me when hiking. They also were a size too small. I am a solid size 12 and these were more like a size 10, being too tight in the thigh.

I love all of the things I have seen here. Just wanted to ask a question. I have seen folks make designs that open to access more pictures adn things like that, but if the pages are going in a photo album, they will be enclosed in the plastic 'envelope' so how are they to be utilized. Hope that was clear. thanksReplyDelete

Running Time: 105
Director: Henri Pachard
Company: Fat Dog Productions
Cast: Holly Wellin, Trinity Post, Trinity James, Samantha (I), Cassandra (I), Nyomi Marcella, Lennox, Summer Luv
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
The nastier side of Lesbian sex.
The camerawork is shaky, the videography is poor, and the sound quality is worse. But at least the girl-on-girl sex is pretty good. These four scenes - which loosely revolve around a bogus bikini contest - feature a host of raunchy bikini girls personally approved by Rob Spallone. And no girl is more interesting than Lennox.
Lennox, who has only recently returned to the business, jumps into her scene with an aggressive vengeance. And in this particular scene, she aggressively fucks two girls, who give her an even more aggressive payback - which is probably what she was looking for. The girls slap, spank and yank each other around. It's like a hardcore wrassling match.
Three other one-on-one scenes feature some decent size toys and decent looking girls. Nyomi Marcella gets her crotch lubed up and spit on until her pussy is dripping with goo. And Trinity Post spreads wide for a large glass dildo.

Marlene Mendoza: Aunt remembers 5-year-old hit, killed on bike in Mesa, funeral planned for Friday
MESA, AZ - Gabriella Vazquez misses her niece, 5-year-old Marlene Mendoza.
The little girl died last weekend after she was struck by a car while riding her tricycle along Main Street and Gilbert Road in Mesa, police said.
"It's not fair, you know, it's not fair," said Vasquez, the girl's aunt.
RELATED: Girl hit, killed while crossing street with family in Mesa
Thursday, the aunt's manager at her job, Crackers and Co. Cafe, took action, setting up a car wash in the parking lot near the cafe, in effort to money for the girl's family.
"I'm a mother of seven. So losing a child is very…it's just very heartbreaking," said manager Angelica Overley.
Police said the little girl was riding her bike just ahead of her parents while out on a walk Saturday night, July 12.
Police said the driver ran a red light, but was not impaired. The driver stopped after the crash and is investigating with authorities.
In the meantime, Overley is here to offer Vasquez a shoulder to lean on.
"Just to hold on to each other and not blame anybody. Just hold on and be there for each other," said Overley.
Funeral services for Mendoza are scheduled for Friday.

The Merck Manual has been a reference for doctors and nurses and has been published for more than 100 years. As of 2003, however, this same information has been made available to the general public through the Second Home Edition of the Merck Manual.
This national bestseller has contributions from nearly 200 internationally respected medical experts. It is, however:
- Written in easy-to-understand language.
- Illustrated with many drawings.
- Available in two print size editions.
- Available in Spanish.
This is not the type of manual that is meant to be read from cover to cover, but rather is meant to be used as a reference. There is an incredible amount of medical information in the 1,907 pages of this manual. This medical information explains disease causes, symptoms, diagnoses, prevention, and treatment. This medical information, however, is easily accessed because of cross-referencing and a 138 page index of over 11,000 entries. This manual covers more topics in more detail than any other home medical book. Furthermore, because Merck sells these manuals on a non-profit basis, they cost about one fifth what other medical books their size would cost.
The helpful appendixes of this medical book include:
- Weights and measures.
- Common medical tests.
- Generic and trade names of drugs.
- Resources for help and information.
During normal times, many people rely upon the internet for their medical information. The information on the internet, however, is harder to find and not always the best quality information. Also, during power blackouts, a hard copy of the Merck Manual should be available as the go to medical reference manual for preppers.
During normal times, this manual can help lay people to communicate better with their doctors and to participate more effectively in their medical treatment. During times when medical help is not immediately available, however, this manual has even more of a potential to save lives.
Have any of you preppers ever used this manual? What are your feelings about it? Please comment below.

Commelina dianthifolia
Bird-bill Day Flower, Widow's TearsCustomer Rating
A very rare plant indeed. This is one of the few plants with such intense blue flowers and that will also perform well in the garden. Flowering in its first year with 2.5cm (1in) gentian blue flowers, it then produces tubers and springs back to life the following year with an unceasing display of blooms. Wonderful in containers, rock gardens and the border (regardless of soil conditions). Hardy down to -8/-10C. Flowers summer. Height 15-30cm (6-12in.)More info

An intriguing dwarf red hot poker with unusual red, amber and green flower spikes. First year flowering, adding interest to borders and containers. Height: 30-40cm (12-16in). *Sow Sept/Oct to flower the following season. More info
Anemone japonica (Mixed)
Japanese Anemone, Anemone x hybrida, WindflowerElegant, late summer flowering perennials, producing their gorgeous, well shaped blooms mainly in rose to pink shades for many weeks and providing the perfect end to the summer. Happy in sun or light shade. Flowers late summer/autumn, Height: 60cm-1.2m (2-4-ft). More info
Poppy 'Coral Reef'
Papaver orientale, Oriental Poppy
A chance discovery on T&M research grounds has led to the introduction of this spectacular NEW true orientale poppy. Large vibrant flowers, often 5in. across of an intense and vivid coral pink never seen before in true orientale poppies from seed and rarely matched in the entire flower kingdom. Unlike many orientale poppies available, because it has been bred from seed it has consistent vigour, with many flowers over a long flowering period. Also it is not prone to 'flopping over' a fault with many varieties of this type of poppy. It is a long lived perennial making large plants within 3 years. From a late Autumn sowing it will flower in its first summer, coming true from seed. In a mixed orientale poppy trial the bees had apparently been very active as a red flowered hybrid produced several plants of this vivid pink. T&M's breeders got busy and... Coral Reef was born!More info
Meconopsis grandis
Himalayan Blue Poppy
Sturdy and long-lived with huge flowers 10-12cm (4-5in) across in a wonderful blue, shot with violet on erect stems.More info
Rudbeckia occidentalis 'Green Wizard'
Western ConeflowerA very curious and extraordinary plant for the back of borders. Bright green sepals, where most plants have petals and a central, almost black cone. An unusual fresh cut flower, long lasting in water, or use in dried arrangements. Easy to grow, quickly forming a good sized plant with plenty of lush green foliage and always a talking point. Flowers summer. Height: 120-152cm (4-5ft). More info

Hellebore seed germinates at its best when sown within a month of harvest so we recommend that you sow your seeds as soon as you receive them. Height: 45-60cm (18-24in). More info
Meconopsis cambrica 'Double Mixed'
Welsh PoppyWelsh Poppy. An exclusive and rare mix of silky pom-pom blooms in orange, red and yellow. The Welsh Poppy is a breezy perennial for dappled shade, blooming from mid-spring right through to autumn. Occasionally an odd single flower may also appear. More info

Snow Melting Options
How ClearZone Works
Installation and Applications
The Benefits
Aerial-Mounted Snow Sensor Switch
• Automatic Activation
- The efficient snow sensor system will only activate the radiant heated driveway (or other snowmelt system) when needed, saving energy and operation costs. The sensor activates the radiant heating system when moisture is present and the temperature reaches to the preset temperature.
• Easy Installation
- The snow sensor is mounted by either attaching the mounting hub to a rigid ˝ or ľ-inch conduit, or by installing screws through the four mounting tabs provided. Wiring is performed by terminating your existing wiring to the pre-installed pigtails. The unit is housed in a two-gang PVC enclosure. The overall dimensions of the DS-2B are 4ľ"x7"x2ľ", and the unit weighs 2 pounds. The user may access all electronics by removing the four front cover screws.
• Adjustable Temperature Trigger Point
- Trigger temperature (TT) is the set temperature in which the device activates the system and is adjustable from 34°F-44°F using the "Temp Adjust" control. When ambient air temperature is below this trigger point, precipitation is assumed to be snow or freezing rain. When above, precipitation is assumed to be rain.
• Smart System Ready
- Buy the optional CS-1 cable and the snow sensor can connect into compatible smart systems that will allow you to turn your system on and off via telephone at a remote location.
• Upgradeable Remote Activation
- Control and monitor your ClearZone snow melting system from inside your home by adding a remote control panel. The panels are mounted on a 1.75"x19" standard rack mount panel and have a range of up to 1200 feet away. The snowmelt control panel provides basic DEICE ON status for the deicing system, along with MANUAL ON, AUTOMATIC, and STANDBY control capabilities.
• Adjustable Delay Off Cycle
- "Delay Off" refers to the drying cycle timer of the snow sensor. The timer allows the snow sensor to dry the heated surface through evaporation once precipitation has stopped. The drying cycle reduces the chance of moisture refreezing into ice. This timer is restarted by each precipitation detection. Therefore, the snow sensor will continue to operate as long as precipitation is detected, then for the Delay Off period once the precipitation has stopped. All "sensor" modes provide a minimum 2-minute closure to reduce cycling of an external controller or feed blower. When in "controller" mode, the Delay Off time can be adjusted from 30-90 minutes using the "Delay Adjust" control.
• Full 30A @ 240VAC Control
- The snow sensor can be powered from either a 100-120 VAC or 200-240 VAC 50/60Hz source. Peak power consumption is 15 watts. Voltage selection is performed by installing provided jumpers onto the printed circuit board. The unit provides a single 240VAC @ 30A normally open load contact set. This contact set is paralleled with a low power contact set to provide remote activation monitoring. Operational temperature range is -40vC to +85vC.
• Selectable Low Temperature Cutoff
- The Low Temperature Cutoff (LTC) option will cause the sensor not to trigger if precipitation is detected below a certain temperature. However, if the deicing system has been activated, precipitation continues, and the ambient temperature drops below the set temperature, LTC will be ignored. This ensures that water left behind on the surface during the heating cycle will not immediately refreeze into ice as a result of deactivating the deicing system.
• Replaceable Precipitation Sensor
- It is recommended that the DS-2B be powered down and the grid wiped clean with clear water at least once every 4 months. Heavy deposits may be removed using Scotch-Brite.

June 17, 2007
UCLA juniors Tiffany Joh and Ryann O'Toole and incoming freshman Glory Yang will compete in the 31st annual U.S. Women's Amateur Publinks Championship beginning Mon., June 18 at Kearney Hills Golf Links in Lexington, KY.
The USWAPL consists of a 36-hole qualifier in which the low 64 scores advance to match play over four days. The final on Sat., June 23 is 36 holes.
Joh won this tournament last season by playing the final in 11-under par with the usual match play concessions. She defeated Kimberly Kim 6 and 5 at Walking Stick GC in Pueblo, CO. In April, she won the Pac-10 individual title, and in May she placed fifth at the NCAA Championship. She earned All-America honors for the second straight year.
O'Toole played in last year's USWAPL, but missed the cut. In the 2007 collegiate season, she earned Pac-10 Honorable Mention honors.
Yang, who will attend UCLA in the Fall, will be competing in her first USWAPL.

WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - The regulator overseeing majormortgage finance sources Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Monday said it filed legal paperwork to create acommon platform for the two firms to issue mortgage-backedsecurities.
The regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said in astatement it established a new company called CommonSecuritization Solutions, LLC, as a limited liability company inthe state of Delaware. The joint venture is intended to helpsecuritize home loans and consolidate some of functionscurrently replicated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The new company could eventually be privatized or mergedinto the government. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will have toabandon their separate systems.
"The filing...represents a significant milestone towardaccomplishing the goal of building a new secondary mortgagemarket infrastructure," Edward DeMarco, the Federal HousingFinance Agency's acting director, said in a statement.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which help finance more thanhalf of new U.S. homes loans, were seized by the government in2008 as mortgage losses mounted. They have drawn nearly $190billion in taxpayer aid to stay afloat while sending $146billion in dividends back to the U.S. Treasury.
The new joint securitization company, CSS, will have its ownchief executive officer and chairman, and will be funded byFannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It will create a single standard forissuing securities that could survive independently if Fannieand Freddie no longer exist.
The new company will be housed in Bethesda, Maryland and theFHFA has already signed a three-year lease for the commercialoffice space.
The FHFA has also retained a recruitment firm to findsuitable candidates for the top management positions at CSS.

Volunteers Needed - Genetic, Dietary and Environmental Influences on Vitamin D Metabolism
Robin Taylor Wilson, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, Associate Professor, Penn State Cancer Institute
Studies by our lab and others consistently report that serum vitamin D levels are significantly lower among individuals with African American ancestry, controlling for age and other health status indicators. We have also found significant differences in the ratio of 25(OH)D3 and its breakdown product 24,25(OH)2D3 by racial/ethnic group and genetic ancestry, suggesting a slower catabolic rate for vitamin D among African Americans and individuals with West African genetic ancestry. Such differences appear to be consistent with higher bone mineral density and 3-fold lower incidence of fracture among older African Americans. Taken together, this suggests that the definition of a healthy range of vitamin D may be dependent on one's genetic background.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are different rates of vitamin D metabolism according to genetic ancestry, and genetic differences in vitamin D metabolizing enzymes, the vitamin D receptor, vitamin D binding protein, and vitamin D response elements known to influence expression of vitamin D metabolizing enzymes.
Assessment of the temporal changes in vitamin D metabolism according to genetic background has not yet been conducted. Understanding genetic differences in vitamin D metabolism will be key to defining sufficient levels of vitamin D, assessing cancer risk in future studies, and avoiding adverse effects. Click here to access the screening questionnaire.
Healthy African American and European American participants ages 18 to 30 are being sought from Penn State campuses in Harrisburg, Hershey and University Park. Please click here to contact Phyllis Martin, Nurse Coordinator, with questions about participating, or email her at email@example.com.
