Heather Knox is the Playboy Playmate for January 2012. Heather starts the new year with a bang in her steamy pictorial which is part of the double January / February edition of Playboy.
Football fanatic Heather Knox won't have to travel far to watch this year's Super Bowl. The game's host city, Indianapolis, happens to be her hometown. Better still, as the newly minted Miss January 2012, she will be front and center at all of Playboy's Super Bowl weekend festivities. "Getting to watch the game from a suite at Lucas Oil Stadium will be the coolest thing ever," she says. "I keep forgetting how many opportunities being Miss January is going to bring me." The diehard Colts fan became a pigskin expert while working as a waitress at an Indiana sports bar. "I learned the game for the benefit of my bank account," she explains. "By understanding what was happening, I knew when not to interrupt a table of guys." She proved to be a quick study; until recently she was the only undefeated member of her fantasy football league. "My league is called Show Me Your TDs–say it fast and you'll realize a guy came up with the name." Heather has also developed her own call–"Ay yi yi yi yi!"–that she unleashes whenever she attends Colts games so as to better distract the visiting team's offense on third down. She is planning a similar shout of joy for when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve. "I'm going to be really excited, because it will mean it's my Playmate month!" she exclaims. "Without a doubt, 2012 will be the most amazing year of my life."

(NBC) -- A developing story; first mumps, now a measles outbreak hits the United States.
Doctors say they are seeing more cases today, than they've seen in decades.
It's a standard question for Dr. Nadia Qureshi.
The Loyola pediatrician says the two dose MMR vaccine has never been more important.
The CDC said a decade ago measles had essentially been eradicated.
Now 15 states report cases, and seven say they've had outright measles outbreaks.
Experts say more parents are opting out of vaccines and international travel has skyrocketed.
Dr. Qureshi had her infant twins vaccinated before a trip to Pakistan.
So all parents can do is wait it out, but the disease does have one tell tale sign
The irony is that so few us doctors have seen an actual case of measles, experts say they may not immediately know what they're looking at.
Which means those infected may not get immediate quarantine.
But for concerned parents, doctors say the answer is simple.
Initial symptoms include cough, fever, runny nose, watery eyes and feeling run-down.
Tiny white spots may appear in the patient's mouth after a few days and a rash may break out on their face that runs down the body.
Patients may also experience an extremely high fever.

Lot of good players at that spot. Let's keep it going.
Reading the pick from 2007 makes the Justin Harrell nightmare come alive all over again ...Hide replies
Justin who ??
Never understand how you take a guy who was projected in the 2-4th round in the 1st. When he was hurt most of college.
You might want to recheck your facts Illini. Most felt that Harrell was the best DT in the draft that year, and most mocks had him going in the first round.
Harrell was on the radar of the other teams that chose around the Packers that season.
Take a look at the last two 49er drafts...everybody misses, esp. when you draft in the mid-twenties EVERY yr.
Have the 49ers and Seahawks missed on their first round pick the last 4 years? No.
Is that a joke?
Uh. In the last four drafts the 49ers got Reid in the late 1st. Now he's a solid FS. They drafted two OL in the first round, both have started every game for the best o line in football. They got Bowman in the 3rd, Kaep in the 2nd. Not to mention some nice DB's and RB prospects. Also got A Smith, one of the best young pass rushers. Seattle got P Harvin last year for the 1st pick, also got B Irvin, Wagner (both starting LB/s), two starting OL, two starting DB's and the best safety in football in the top 4 rounds the last 4 years. Pack? Lacy, Cobb, Baktiari are the great picks by TT in the top 4 rounds last 4 years. Bulaga, Hayward, Burnett may be solid picks pending health. Im just saying TT has missed alot of top picks the last few years.
in the last 4 years?
for SF, aj jenkins in 2012 was a huge bust and michael crabtree hasn't played anywhere close to his top 10 status (richard sherman agrees).
for seattle, james carpenter is a hair from being cut.
have they drafted well? of course but they've missed too, even in the 1st.
Don't worry Illinois Ted will trade out of the 21st for a couple of 6th rounders and a 7th.
while you might be trolling, your post makes no sense.
when in the world has thompson ever given up such a premier pick for so little in return.
last time he traded out of the 1st he drafted jordy nelson in the 2nd with the new pick.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR from a "couple of 6th rounders and a 7th".
I will repeat for those who don't listen:
In the last two drafts, other than Reid (who they traded into the top 20 to get)...how have they fared?
Answer: Not well. Lemichael James, AJ Baldwin, Tank Injured, and Marcus Spaghetti Leg.
It's different drafting consistently in the 20s...esp. the late 20s, or in the Bowl slot.
Anyone remember Nick Saban's reaction to Seattle drafting James Carpenter in the 1st round?
This list is a good example of why the Packers don't get much success drafting late in the first round. Only 28% of the 14 players on this list of players picked at the 21st position ever made it to the Pro Bowl. In other words, on average only one in four players taken at this position are ever difference makers. I've read that at the 22nd position, there hasn't been a Pro Bowler taken in 20 years. The Packers the last 5 years have picked at the 27th spot in the first round, much farther back, so the odds are even lower. When teams pick in the top 10, the odds of finding a Pro Bowler are better than 50%.Hide replies
Good stats. I think if anything TT just needs to get a starter that can stay healthy. Whether that be OT, ILB, TE, FS. We just need athleticism in the middle of the D. Arod can carry the team, he just needs a few playmakers.
Sure would like to see the center Mack from Cleveland in GB spearheading the O line next season. What would it take to sign him with the transition tag they placed on him, and can we fit him in, and does he fit in with the style GB runs on O.
Have not heard many of the "experts" talking about him.Hide replies
Ive been a proponent of this as well. But he wants to get paid big bucks. Mangold and Kalil both making close to 50mil, 16-20 guaranteed. Mack wants more than that. Id wonder if the Browns would sign and trade him if he doesnt want to stay/they dont want to pay
You would like to have the highest pd center in the league?
Not necessarily. Depends on the cap hit. Id love to see him with Sitton and Lang. Would be best interior line by far in the NFL. But not at the expense of resigning guys like Jordy and hopefully extending future packers (if any develop into capable starters).
I would love to see him here, too.
And...Joe Thomas.
And...Josh Gordon.
And...Joe Haden.
But, it would be really hard to fit them in if you like Cobb/Nelson, and others in the future.
Agree. Which is why it wont happen. If Arod was on the Browns, I bet they win 12 games and make a run through the playoffs. They have a top 3 WR, top 5 TE, one of the better young RBs now, best O line and a pretty good D. But they have no QB...haha
lol at the Browns having a "pretty good D".
Yes. The Browns D was middle tier. They have Haden, Taylor, some nice young draft picks. Def better than the Pack's D
acquiring alex mack would be close to impossible.
whatever part wouldn't be impossible would be completely undesirable.
it's foolish talk. it ain't happening.
His contract will be in the $10m range. Not a wise use of salary cap space.
It depends on again the cap hit. The packers really don't have alot of guys making big money. ARod, CMIII, Sitton, Tramon and Shields make up appx 40% of the cap. TT seems to like to build through a few guys. Draft the rest on low cap hit deals.
How many current Packers have made the Pro Bowl?Hide replies
In 2006, they should have taken Antonio Cromartie, in 2007 they should have taken Joe Staley, in 2010 they should have taken Rob Gronkowski. This is an easy game to play and you can play it with any team.
Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Tramon Williams, Eddie Lacy, Josh Sitton, BJ Raji, AJ Hawk and John Kuhn have all made the Pro Bowl.
Only Rodgers and Matthews have been selected as starters.
If Ebron is there at 21, I dont see how hes not a pro bowler in 3 years. V Davis, J Witten are getting older. J Graham is the only other TE in the NFC that will be a pro bowler for the next 3-4 years. Its about getting playmakers at 21. Whether its Ebron, Mosely, Dix, a CB.
Matt Jones being drafted in the 1st round as a WR makes me laugh.
Pretty safe bet Ted takes a Sylvester Morris and not a Vince WilforkHide replies
I'm not a big draft speculation guy, but here is Rotoworld's take on GB draft needs/potential picks. http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/46759/71/nfl-draft-needs-packers
Will Ted trade out of the 1st? Seems like a good year to do it to get another quality pick at WR, S, C or ILB.Hide replies
Agree. Martin is a nice C in the second. Wouldn't mind Shazier if he falls to early second (if TT would trade to that spot). Also some nice WR like Matthews and Moncrief would be there.
Ted traded out of the first round in 2008. The 2008 draft ended up with the fewest number Pro Bowlers in a long time. Good call on Thompson's part.
Picked up Jordy - Finley - Sitton and Flynn with that draft class.
Just missed on Brohm and Pat Lee.
Thats still a solid draft class. TT dominates the middle rounds. First round, not so much. Id rather see him get some impact players in the 2-4th rounds (solid WR's, TE's, C, ILB, CB's, DL are available)

The Free Standards Group is proud to announce the availability of the Linux Standard Base 3.0. The press took quite a bit of notice of both this announcement as well as the joining of Linux software giant CA to the FSG. We're seeing more and more participation by ISVs in the LSB and FSG. eWeek magazine in particular grasped the import of the announcement in this fine editorial:
"[LSB 3.0] is not just another standard. This is the standard that will make sure that ISVs can write programs for one Linux rather than half-a-dozen Linux distributions. All the major Linux consortiums and
companies- Asianux, the Debian Common Core Alliance, Red Hat and Novell-have agreed to make their distributions LSB 3.0 compliant. With this move, Linux has assured itself of a future no matter what Microsoft does. As someone who suffered through the Unix wars, I can't tell you how pleased I am with this development. Bring it on, Microsoft. Linux is ready for you. "

|North Country Wet Flies
Add these quintessential Engligh patterns to your fly box and catch more trout.
I'm not sure about status of the soft-hackled wet fly in America; on recent trips, I haven't seen much evidence of these patterns in fly shops. But the United States is a huge place, so maybe I haven't looked in the right fly shops. Nevertheless, with such a large number of fly fishers in the States—far more than in the United Kingdom—it's probably safe to say that the Soft Hackle has quite a following, with many confirmed addicts.
My understanding of things is that James Leisenring introduced the Soft Hackle to American fly fishers, or at least he popularized it; there were others, but not many, who followed. But, was there anyone before Leisenring?
James Leisenring was a Pennsylvania German, and he tackled American streams, as I have done, with European flies and fishing techniques. It's instinct: "They work at home, so why shouldn't they work here?" But, if Leisenring was the first to open the eyes of many American anglers to Soft Hackles, it inspires the question, Is wet-fly fishing a European thing? Surely fishing with wet flies for trout was practiced in the United States before Leisenring, or was it?The English Connection
The history of the soft-hackled wet fly on our side of the pond is very well recorded. We have two names for Soft Hackles in the United Kingdom: if they have wings, we call them North Country wet flies; if they are not winged, they are called North Country Spiders, often shortened to just Spiders. Records of these flies go back more than 300 years; if you include the descriptions of wet flies contained in diaries and notebooks, the record extends back almost 350 years.
James Chetham wrote one of the first books on North
Country wet flies in 1681. In The Angler's Vade Mecum,
Chetham listed flies for each month of the year, which was
a common practice in those days, and the recipes are, as
you'd expect, quaint. Here's a sample of a fly he recommended
for fishing in May:
Obviously, conservation was not an issue in those days. By the mid- 1800s, many books on the subject had been published and there were many established patterns.
Americans share some misconceptions regarding river fishing in the United Kingdom. The popular view is that we Brits live on a small island awash with lush, gin-clear chalk streams teeming with lunker trout, and that you have to have a fat wallet to fish the best rivers. The first assumption is false: chalk streams represent less than 10 percent of all the river and stream trout fishing in the U.K. The vast majority of our rivers are limestone and sandstone freestoners, with some water coming from rock strata known as greensand.
The second assumption is partly true. If you want to fish the River Test during prime green drake season—reserve a well-known beat for yourself and a friend, have the services of a gillie, and enjoy lunch with wine in a fishing hut—then, yes, it's expensive. But there is an alternative.
If you go north, the rivers won't be gin clear; they will be slightly stained and stony. There's also much less fishing pressure, and less stocking with big fish. The trout and grayling are smaller, but more often they are wild fish, which is much more to my liking. There are no trimmed banks or fishing huts, but you will be able to hire a gillie. Several stretches do require purchasing day tickets, but the cost is a fraction of top chalk-stream prices.
In the days of Halford, Skues, Lunn, and Plunket-Greene, the better-known chalk streams of Southern England were tremendous fisheries, and the trout were plentiful and big. By all accounts, the fly hatches were reliable and often heavy. It must have been paradise, and the books they wrote still make us drool. Oh, to have been there in the late 1800s—with the right connections and ample money, of course.
At about the time the Southern chalk-stream anglers were fishing and recording their discoveries, fly fishers in the northern counties of England and the Scottish Lowlands were also busy writing. The period from 1840 to 1900 was a golden age for fly-fishing books, and many became very important, especially those that describe wet flies.
There is a distinct difference between northern and southern trout streams, and regional fishing techniques and fly patterns have developed. Northern freestone rivers rise and fall with the rain, and the water clatters over riffles, gouges under tight banks, gushes around boulders, and cascades through narrow necks. On these rivers, the North Country wet fly is king.
Few, if any, of the Northern fly-fishing authors enjoyed large international reputations, especially when compared to someone such as Halford. The dry fly was being revolutionized as high art, and the southern chalk streams were getting all the attention. Today, however, everyone travels, and that British North–South divide is less obvious; the river types, however, will forever be different. I've visited the chalk streams many times, and have even conducted fishing schools on them. I always enjoy them, yet I wouldn't swap them for my rough Northern freestoners and favorite North Country wet flies.Types of Wet Flies
There are several forms of North Country wet flies. The hackle on a classic North Country Spider is always tied in by the tip and wrapped twice. The hackle barbs should be slightly longer than the full length of the hook, including the eye. The body is always tied with silk thread; Pearsall's Gossamer is the preferred brand. The body should end opposite the hook point or no farther than halfway between the points of the hook and barb. If the body is dubbing, you should use natural fur and make it so sparse that you can see the tying thread underneath; forget using your tacky wax. Sometimes the body is ribbed with the finest gold wire.
Some North Country Spiders have tails, and a few have heads made of peacock or magpie tail herl. I believe the heads on these patterns are unique among trout flies.
Hackles are rarely taken from domestic poultry; the usual sources are game birds such as partridge, red grouse, snipe, woodcock, plover, and vermin species such as jackdaw and starling. Neck, flank, rump, and thigh feathers, and underand outer-wing covert feathers make the best hackles.
A few classic North Country wet flies have wings, but they are not as popular today because the wings make wakes when fished down and across. Few tiers understand the time-honored technique for mounting these wings. Described as bunched and split, the wings look nice but slightly scruffy. This is okay; they look like the ragged wings of drowning duns. This tying method is a very interesting but tricky little technique.
Cut a slip from a good primary or secondary wing quill; starling was often used. The slip should be four times as wide as the finished wing. Square up the slip, fold it in half lengthwise, and then fold it again. Tie the folded slip to the hook, and bend it up to near vertical. Next, pass the thread through the very center of the bunched fibers, wrapping from behind to the front of the fibers. The thread splits the fibers to create the wings. The wings will split in two even more when fishing, but the trout don't seem to care. These flies are lethal when dead-drifted during or after a good hatch.
The Stewart Spider is another famous North Country wet fly you'll want to add to your fishing kit. W. C. Stewart was a Scot who fished the rivers and streams of the Scottish Lowlands, primarily those near Edinburgh. It is believed that Stewart coined the term Spider. He thought only three Spiders were necessary: the Black, the Red, and the Dun. Stewart said he would never take the Black Spider off his leader; it was his go-to pattern. I agree with him: the Black Spider is a tremendous fish-fooler, especially when the trout are feeding on black gnats, reed smuts, and other small black forage.
The classic Stewart Black Spider should really be called Baillie's Black Spider. James Baillie first showed this effective fly to Stewart. Baillie, we are told, was a professional fly fisherman— professional in the truest sense—who supplied flyrod- caught trout to local hotels and restaurants. He apparently supported himself and his family on the trout he caught and sold from March to November. He was some fly fisherman, and the Black Spider is some fly!
Stewart tied the Black Spider using a very unusual technique. (And remember, he tied flies with just his fingers; he had no vise, hackle pliers, or bobbin.) He started the waxed brown thread in the middle of the hook shank, and wrapped to the front end of the hook, where he made a small thread head. Next, Stewart tied in a hackle by the butt end—this was usually a glossy black cock starling feather—and trimmed the waste. Now here's the unique part: Stewart twisted the thread and hackle into a single unit, and wrapped the two toward the center of the hook shank. He then separated the thread from the feather, tied off and clipped the hackle tip, and tied off and snipped the thread. Stewart said this method of tying doesn't make a neat fly, but the finished pattern is quite natural looking and very durable.
The Scots have two more distinct regional North Country wet flies. The Clyde style, created to fish the Clyde River, is still used by a few traditionalists. The Clyde runs through Glasgow, then out through the Firth of Clyde and into the sea. After much environmental work, Atlantic salmon once again return to this fine river. The Clyde's middle and upper sections have some excellent trout and grayling fishing, with plenty of ticket water available for visitors.
The Clyde style of tying usually refers to a winged pattern, and is similar to a winged wet fly tied for fishing a Yorkshire river. A Clyde pattern, however, is more sparsely dressed. The body is shorter and finer, the wings are slightly narrower, and there is less hackle than on a Yorkshire equivalent.
The Tummel style is the final Scottish North Country wet fly we will examine. The Tummel is a large full-blown salmon river, and is the major tributary of the mighty Tay. The Tummel is also a renowned trout river with a reputation for big hard-to-catch browns. A Tummel pattern is ultra sparse—almost anorexic. The body is a mere five or six wraps of thread, the hackle is a meager one wrap, and there are two very narrow, pricked-up wings. I am not sure of its present status among Tummel regulars, but it did have a great reputation for deceiving picky trout that had seen many fly boxes' worth of patterns.
Let's conclude with a few notes about how to fish North Country wet flies. Very few anglers fish wet flies using the classic upstream method. Today, most fishermen cast the flies across and downstream, and allow the trout to hook themselves. It's usual—and traditional—to fish with three flies at one time: a top dropper, a middle dropper, and a point or "tail" fly. My leader (called a "cast" in the old days) is usually about 11 feet long. I place the droppers about three feet apart and attach them to the leader using four- to five-inch-long pieces of 2- to 3-pound-test tippet material. I prefer using a 4-weight, double-tapered floating line and a 9- foot-long rod, but I'm currently on a quest for a 10-footer weighing no more than three ounces; the anglers who first tied North Country wet flies used 10- to 12-foot-long rods.
Wherever you fish in North America, from the great brawling rivers of the Rockies to the smallest creeks in the East, these flies work very well. I know they do!
Oliver Edwards has a great reputation for creating realistic patterns for real-world fishing conditions, but he's an expert at tying all forms of flies. He also stars in a series of terrific flytying and fishing videos and DVDs titled Essential Skills with Oliver Edwards. In case you haven't caught on yet, Oliver hails from England.

Low back pain is common. Almost everyone has back pain at some time in their life. Often, the exact cause of the pain cannot be found.
Low back pain that is long-term is called chronic low back pain.
Nonspecific back pain; Backache - chronic; Lumbar pain - chronic; Pain - back - chronic; Chronic back pain - low
A single event may not have caused your pain. You may have been doing many activities, such as lifting the wrong way, for a long time. Then suddenly, one simple movement, such as reaching for something or bending from your waist, leads to pain.
Many people with chronic back pain have arthritis. Or they may have extra wear and tear of the spine, which may be due to:
You may have had a herniated disk, in which part of the spinal disk pushed onto nearby nerves. Normally, the disks provide space and cushion in your spine. If these disks dry out and become thinner and more brittle, you can lose movement in the spine over time.
If the spaces between the spinal nerves and spinal cord become narrowed, this can lead to spinal stenosis. These problems are called degenerative joint or spine disease.
Other possible causes of chronic low back pain include:
You are at greater risk for low back pain if you:
Low back pain can differ from person to person. The pain may be mild, or it can be so severe that you are unable to move.
Depending on the cause of your back pain, you may also have pain in your leg, hip, or on the bottom of your foot.
During the physical exam, the health care provider will try to pinpoint the location of the pain and figure out how it affects your movement.
Other tests you have depend on your medical history and symptoms.
Tests may include:
Your back pain may not go away completely, or it may get more painful at times. Learn to take care of your back at home and how to prevent repeat episodes of back pain. This can help you continue with your normal activities.
Your doctor may recommend measures to reduce your pain, including:
These health care providers can also help:
If needed, your doctor may prescribe medicines to help with your back pain:
If your pain does not improve with medicine, physical therapy, and other treatments, your doctor may recommend an epidural injection.
Spinal surgery is considered only if you have nerve damage or the cause of the back pain does not heal after a long time.
In some patients, a spinal cord stimulator can help reduce back pain.
Other treatments that may be recommended if your pain does not improve with medicine and physical therapy include:
Some people with low back pain may also need:
Most back problems get better on their own. Follow your health care provider's advice on treatment and self-care measures.
Call your health care provider if you have severe back pain that does not go away. Call right away if you have numbness, loss of movement, weakness, or bowel or bladder changes.

During the first quarter of 2010, Western Digital moved a record 51.1 million hard drives, and that 3.2% boost was enough to surpass Seagate's 50.3 million shipments and 0.8% sequential increase. Research outfit iSuppli believes Western Digital might lose revenue with its "low-cost model," but that approach will aid the company in its quest to gain more business and remain perched above Seagate.
Meanwhile, Hitachi clinched third place, growing 13.9% � the strongest among the top 5 HDD makers. Toshiba/Fujitsu and Samsung claimed the fourth and fifth spots, both selling less units than the previous quarter.

What's the meaning of "squished to the side" ?
Hello. I'm new here. I'm really not understanding what means the translation to english sentence "squished to the side" that appears in some character examples.
Good questions! We area actually just about to add in a tool tip to explain this, but in the meantime: there are certain characters that, when they appear as parts of more complex characters are simplified a bit so as to fit into the space more easily. We call these versions the "squished" versions, just to try to be as descriptive as possible. But you can also just answer with the name of the full, un-squished character and be marked correct.
I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions at all,
Best wishes
Thanks Ben. Now I understand it.

Governor of Riyadh Province Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz yesterday opened the Second International Rehabilitation Conference organized by the Handicapped Children's Society and the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research. The first such conference was held in 1992. Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, who is chairman of both these organizations, addressed the participants, stressing the importance of keeping abreast of advances in health care in general and services for the disabled in particular.
Speaking on the occasion, Prince Salman pointed out the many scientific inventions in recent years and called for coordination among the concerned parties to work out a strategy for rehabilitation. On display in the exhibition on the fringes of the conference was one of these inventions, an ATM machine for the blind provided by the Saudi American Bank. He wished the four-day conference success in reaching vital recommendations that would reflect positively on the quality and quantity of the services being rendered to the handicapped in the Kingdom.

Family reunions and summer picnics offer the chance to reunite with relatives, learn about heritage, and share family recipes. This summer, help NDEP promote diabetes awareness when it comes to talking about having a family history of diabetes. NDEP research has shown that people seem to better understand that they are at risk for diabetes when they think about how diabetes has affected their family. Having a mother, father, sister, or brother with type 2 diabetes increases one's risk for developing the disease.
Encourage your constituents to talk about diabetes during their next family gathering. Use NDEP's newly updated TV public service announcement "Family Reunion" to get the conversation started. The feature article, "Ten Ways to Shape Up Your Family Reunion to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes" offers simple tips for choosing physical activities the entire family can enjoy, as well as making a plan for what, when, and how much food to eat during gatherings. For information on healthy recipes, check out NDEP's Tasty Recipes/Mas que comida booklet that offers foods that the whole family can enjoy, including Tropical Fruits Fantasia, a side dish that can complement any summer meal.
NDEP also has resources designed for African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos that can help carry out the family history conversation. The tip sheet More Than 50 Ways to Prevent Diabetes educates families on the small steps that offer big rewards when it comes to healthy eating and physical activity. Step by Step: Moving Towards Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes and Movimiento por su vida are CDs/DVDs with original music and strong messages that tell listeners that even moderately intense physical activity can make a difference.
In July, as we think about our nation's independence, it is also a great time for teens and young adults with diabetes to prepare for their independence as they transition from pediatric to adult care. NDEP's new Transition Resource provides tools to help with the transition process. This resource contains a Checklist, Patient Clinical Summary Page, and Resource List.
Feel free to post the Transitions from Pediatric to Adult Care tool on your organization's website, distribute via your listserv, place in your newsletter, use social media to post messages on Facebook or Twitter, or include NDEP's PowerPoint slides in a presentation that you are giving.
During the third quarter of 2010 (July through September), NDEP is promoting diabetes control and lowering the risk in youth themes. In addition to promoting NDEP's new Transitions from Pediatric to Adult Care tool, here are some other NDEP resources that you can share at health fairs, conferences, educational sessions, or as part of your organization's social media outreach efforts:
Coming Soon! In observance of National Diabetes Awareness Month this November, NDEP will convey messages about family history as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and will tie in messages to reach women with a history of gestational diabetes. Building on the creative approach featuring real people as part of last year's Managing Diabetes campaign, NDEP will develop posters and materials featuring real people at risk for diabetes because they have a family history of diabetes, or have a history of gestational diabetes, placing them at increased future risk. In August, promotional tool kits will be developed for partners to assist you in bringing our messages alive at the community level. For more information, remember to check the campaign section of www.YourDiabetesInfo.org.
Beginning in late July, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will host a series of "Welcome to the Road to Health" webinars. The purpose of the webinars is to provide participants with an overview of diabetes prevention strategies and ideas for using the Road to Health Tool Kit. The tool kit was developed for use by Community Health Workers (CHWs) to promote diabetes prevention strategies in their communities, but also can be used by others working to prevent type 2 diabetes at the community level. The webinars have been designed for CHWs, lay health educators, health ministers, diabetes educators and anyone interested in learning more about the tool kit. NDEP will provide promotional materials you can use locally to promote the webinars and to motivate your partners to adopt and implement the Road to Health Tool Kit. For more information, contact Alexis Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com and stay tuned for an announcement from NDEP.
Reminder: Continuing education (CE) credits are available for reading the user's guide, flip chart, and activities guide in the Road to Health Tool Kit. Click here for more information on obtaining CE credit.
NDEP's Older Adult Work Group leadership and the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) recently developed an article for the organization's May/June 2010 issue of the Journal on Active Aging. Work Group chair, Linda Haas, Ph.C., R.N., C.D.E., and vice chair, Sandra Burke, Ph.D., R.N., A.N.P., C.D.E., co-authored the article entitled, "Diabetes Prevention 101: Small and Simple Changes Prevent Type 2 Diabetes," which provides an overview of diabetes and how to prevent the disease. NDEP's resources for diabetes prevention in older adults are referenced throughout the article as tools to help make and sustain lifestyle changes.
In addition, ICAA has also created a "National Diabetes Education Program Information Center" on their website. This webpage includes information for people with diabetes, those at risk, and organizations that work with older adults. Each section includes links to relevant NDEP resources.
Updated NDEP TV Public Service Announcements
In addition to the updated "Family Reunion" PSA, NDEP has also made updates to the "Future Generations," and "Get Real" TV PSAs. These PSAs now feature new voiceovers with updated NDEP contact information (www.YourDiabetesInfo.org and 1-888-693-NDEP (6337)), closed captioning, and the most current logos for NDEP's campaigns and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In addition, the "Get Real" TV PSA has been updated to lead with family history as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The updated PSAs have been posted to NDEP's website in the "Resources" section under "Television PSAs," as well as YouTube for you to share with your colleagues and people with or at risk for diabetes. Here are a few ideas for how you can use these PSAs:
CDC Offers Web-Based Health Literacy Training for Public Health Professionals
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently unveiled Health Literacy for Public Health Professionals, a new and free web-based training that offers information, strategies, and tools to help public health professionals improve their effectiveness in educating and providing patients with useful resources. Continuing education credits are available in some disciplines.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is also making strides to improve health literacy. HHS recently released The National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy to improve the jargon-filled language, dense writing, and complex explanations that often fill patient handouts, medical forms, health websites, and recommendations to the public.
Support for Behavior Change Resource Tool is Accepting Submissions Through August 15

If you have additional research articles, tools, or programs that you think should be included in the SBCR, click here for instructions on submitting materials and to download the online submission form. Submissions will be accepted through August 15.
New CDC-TV Video Teaches Risk Factors and Healthy Lifestyle Tips
CDC-TV has released a new consumer-friendly video, "Blood Sugar & Fears." The video provides expert advice about who is at risk for type 2 diabetes and how healthy lifestyle changes can reduce risk for the disease by nearly 60 percent. It also includes the personal story of someone who is living with type 2 diabetes and making healthy lifestyle changes. The video is available to download via CDC-TV, podcast or radio PSA, and is also accessible by mobile phone. Easy download instructions are posted on CDC-TV so your organization can use the video today.
NDEP offers many PowerPoint slide sets that are a valuable tool for partners. From the NDEP website, these slide sets are sorted by audience and keywords for ease of access, and can be downloaded individually or as an entire set. They serve as a convenient resource for partners to use in presentations or reports to promote NDEP's new campaigns, initiatives, and tools. To view the slide sets, visit the "Resources" section of the NDEP website and click on "Presentations."
In future issues of NEWS & NOTES, look for NDEP promotional tools that are ready for you to personalize, customize, and distribute. For example, use our printer-ready public service announcements to make diabetes posters for upcoming events, health fairs, or your office. Use our customizable campaign resources and toolkits to promote diabetes awareness in your community. Or take our feature articles, press releases, media advisories, and public service announcements, and add your organization's logo.
Using social media? So are we! Don't forget to follow NDEP on Twitter @NDEP, "like" our page on Facebook, and look for our videos on YouTube. Feel free to "re-tweet" and share NDEP posts with your social media friends!

After a long fourteen-year wait for fans, New Orleans' doom metal and sludgy bluescore five-piece Eyehategod have finally released a brand new self-titled full-length album. With eleven fresh tracks arranged and financed by the band together with Housecore Records, this album's dark, chaotic, misanthropic, noise-laden material proves unequivocally that Eyehategod aren't simply back; they never left. It also shows that they are decidedly important to today's heavy music in the way that Robert Johnson was to the blues, Doc Boggs was to old-timey Appalachian folk, early Sabbath was to rock, Black Flag was to punk, and so on. In fact, this all-new collection of songs is arguably Eyehategod's best since their 1993 album Take as Needed for Pain, which was both a band and fan favorite, and continues to be so.
Eyehategod's self-titled release opens with the filthy chords, wild feedback and pummeling drums of "Agitation! Propaganda!" That, along with Mike IX Williams' barbed, throat-bleeding vocals, this song is somewhat akin to the metal and gutter punk hybrids scattered throughout Eyehategod's catalog of releases, like "Peace Thru War (Thru Peace and War)" and "Lack of Almost Everything" off of the band's 1996 album Dopesick, and "Bland" off of Take as Needed for Pain, and "Depress" and "Run It into the Ground" off their 1992 debut full-length In the Name of Suffering. Following "Agitation! Propaganda!" is "Trying to Crack the Hard Dollar," in which they return to the bluesy Sabbath-esque riffs and beats that have become so much a part of their core sound. Other standouts on the album are the metal-as-hell "Parish Hotel Sickness," the fast and heavy "Framed to the Wall," the seven-minute waves of feedback and drawn-out chords and fierce drums and half spoken-word, half vocal-vomit of "Flags and Cities Bound," the strung-out desperation and confusion of "Medicine Noose," and classic EHG styling of the closing track "The Age of Bootcamp."
The self-titled album by these sons of NOLA was officially released in North America on May 27th, 2014 by Housecore Records, in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on May 26th by Century Media, and in Japan on May 21st by Daymare. Eyehategod have also just kicked off a month-long tour in support of the new album. You can view the dates, cities and venues here.

Hiking the Alps Near Torino:
Getting to the Top is Worth the Work
By Max Hartshorne
GoNOMAD Editor
We motored by bus out of the city of Torino, heading for a mountain village deep into the Alps on a September afternoon. The small coach wound around the hairpin turns, and one of our mates kept putting his hands in front of his face, as he was afraid to look out the window. The bus strained as it made its way up the steep paved road, and pebbles flew off to the side down a vast face of rock.
By the side of the winding road, goats with long tapered horns grazed on an impossibly steep rock face. They were not wild mountain goats, but a herd tended by a faraway farmer.
Our destination was a gigantic dam in the Gran Paradis National Park, with huge letters across its broad face of the cement that read Citti di Torino. As we climbed up and over the dam, we saw a brilliant aquamarine lake that was created when this dam was built.
Up above the lake were dramatic snowy peaks, and a set of mountains ringing the water. We were heading way, way up there, to that hut with the yellow roof. Wow it was far up!
Steeper and Steeper
Settling into our own paces, we took the increasingly steeper climb to the top and grabbed hold of rocks and branches to keep us moving ahead. Looking back I saw that we all were getting a little winded, but it felt so great on this blinding sunny day to be there. Our prize awaited us in an hour or so up at the top, where steaming cauldrons held bubbling risotto with beef.
An hour of hard hiking, using rocks as stairs and walking through soft forests and then, hiking above the tree line on broad flat rocks. "No one said it was going to be easy," I laughed, and indeed, it was one of those hikes that makes you feel great because it was tough. Looking down on that steep path and this light blue water when we reached the Refugio Pontessi, it all felt just right. Inside, a feast cooked on the mountain awaited. Everything comes up to this remote hut via a cable car that's strung all the way from the bottom. No way you can pack that much up here!
A City that Feels Like a Town
Many visitors to this city of about 900,000 enjoy taking to these country roads and finding their own hiking routes up into the Alps. There are also abundant parks both in the city and by the lovely Po River to enjoy.
Torino is known as the capital of the Alps, and capital of the Piedmonte region, the fourth-largest city in Italy. It's a city filled with immigrants, and that becomes clear when you see the multi-lingual signs in Arabic, Romanian and other languages in little shops and bodegas. The largest outsiders are from Romania, seconded by Morocco and Albania. The feeling that you're in a country other than Italy sometimes comes upon you as you walk a narrow street following a woman in a headscarf.
Turin, as the city is known by people outside of Italy, is home to Juventus, the most successful football club in Italy, which gives this small city big time FIFA status, the do battle with other Premier league teams in the Derby of Torino, the oldest arena in the country.
The city made it into the limelight in 2006 when they hosted the Winter Olympic games, they became the largest city to ever host the winter games. The events were held an hours drive away over winding mountain roads from the city in the Alps in the mountains to the west.
At the Torino Public market, we saw uniformed and plainclothes police menacing immigrant vendors, who took off like scared cats as the men with truncheons rounded the corner. You get the sense that some of the people they are chasing are these immigrants or unlicensed peddlars avoiding their tax bills.
Torino is a lively and elegant city. In the distance, the dormant hulk of a former Fiat factory looms. But beyond are the Olympic and Royal Mountains, glistening in white. The Po river winds its way through the city, and a big boulevard heads right to its banks. The city, once Italy's capital, has broad, tree-lined avenues and winding side streets, with elegant palaces and both old and new buildings that are striking. It seems more like a town than a city, friendlier and more gentle to a visitor.
Climbing the Stairs to the Fort
About an hour out of the city is the Forte di Fenestrelle in Val Chisone, the largest fortified stone structure in Europe, built in the late 1800s. With almost as many bricks as went into the Great Wall of China it is vast and sprawls over thousands of yards. We spent a few hours walking the imposing set of long stone steps up to just a few of the seven different fortresses that are built on a steep mountainside. It was difficult to imagine troops fully laden with armor and swords making these climbs, up unending staircases made of brick, winding far, far up into the clouds. We made it through about stage one of a seven castle arrangement, though many visitors go the entire distance of three kilometers almost all uphill.

Government Accountability Office adds climate change to influential High Risk Report
- Date
- 25 February 2013
NEW YORK: For the first time ever, the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), the auditing arm of Congress, listed climate change among its top financial risks to the US Government.
In the latest version of its biennial High Risk List, the agency states that:
"Climate change creates significant financial risks for the federal government, which owns extensive infrastructure, such as defense installations; insures property through the National Flood Insurance Program; and provides emergency aid in response to natural disasters. The federal government is not well positioned to address the fiscal exposure presented by climate change, and needs a government wide strategic approach with strong leadership to manage related risks."
The report goes on to identify the government's 650 million acres of land, its Disaster Relief Fund, and its national flood and crop insurance programs as areas that are especially exposed to climate risk.
Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, Head of the GAO, said: "Climate change poses risks to many environmental and economic systems — including agriculture, infrastructure, ecosystems and human health — and presents a significant financial risk to the federal government."
Evan Juska, Head of US Policy for The Climate Group, said: "It's significant because we're at a point now where the Supreme Court, Department of Defense, National Academy of Sciences, Securities and Exchange Commission, and even the Government Accountability Office - Congress' own independent watchdog - have said that climate change poses significant risks that the government needs to address. So going forward, it's getting much harder for 'skeptics' in Congress to credibly deny that basic premise."
Also added to the list in 2013 is "gaps in weather satellite data," which helps the government forecast extreme weather events such as hurricanes, storm surges, and floods - bringing the total number of "high risks" to 30.

Dr. Wallach starts the show today discussing the rising oil prices. He then outlines several methods for conserving fuel when driving. Also describing some of the ways that having a home-based business through Youngevity can create additional income streams.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss recent research that found adding nutrients to the diets of lab gerbils boosted cogintive abilities. After just 4 weeks on a diet supplemented with choline, uridine monophosphate and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) the gerbils improved their ability to navigate mazes and had more brain synapse activity. Thus supporting the theory that nutrition can boost congnitive abilities.

06.03.2010 / Market Analysis Recap. Posting by Stephen Frantz, FNBO Chief Investment Officer.
The recent volatility and correction in global equity markets should not be a huge surprise. Over the course of the last 12 months, we have seen equities around the globe rally significantly off the lows reached in March 2009.
One year ago the world seemed focused on the possibility of another great depression. This outcome has been eliminated by unprecedented political, policy and monetary action by governments and central banks around the world. Although the world now seems a better place than it did only 12 months ago, significant headwinds remain in the form of sovereign debt issues, high unemployment and consumer deleveraging. We would not expect to see a repeat of the last 12 months performance in stocks.
Over the near term, we expect macro-economic and global concerns to drive investment decisions, leading to continued volatility and selling pressure. On a mid- to longer-term basis, the S&P 500 Index appears attractively valued, trading at about 12 times forward earnings. If the clouds lift overseas, and markets begin to discount just ugliness vs. Armageddon, you should see stocks here in the U.S. reignite a rally after a healthy 10 to 15 percent correction.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – New research suggests that exposing skin to sunlight may help reduce blood pressure and cut the risk of heart attack and stroke.
During the study, at the Universities of Southampton and Ediuburgh, the skin of 24 healthy individuals was exposed to ultraviolet (UVA) light from tanning lamps for two sessions of 20 minutes each. In one session, the volunteers were exposed to both the UVA rays and the heat of the lamps. In another, the UV rays were blocked so that only the heat of the lamps affected the skin. The results suggest that the UVA exposure dilates blood vessels, significantly lowers blood pressure, and alters nitric oxide (NO) metabolite levels in the circulation, without changing vitamin D levels.
Martin Feelisch, Professor of Experimental Medicine and Integrative Biology at the University of Southampton, believes that it is time for people to reexamine the risks and benefits of sunlight for human health. "Avoiding excess sunlight exposure is critical to prevent skin cancer, but not being exposed to it at all, out of fear or as a result of a certain lifestyle, could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease," Dr. Feelisch was quoted as saying.

6 inch, 1080p Nokia Windows Phone 8 phablet (codenamed Bandit) in testing at AT&T
Nokia is seemingly getting ready to announce its very first phablet – a Windows Phone 8 device with a 6 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixels display.
According to The Verge, the upcoming device is codenamed Bandit. In addition to being the world's first 1080p Windows Phone 8 handset, this should also be the first WP device to have a quad-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon – probably the 800 model, although the 600 and 400 versions also have quad-core architectures).
Reportedly, the 6 inch Nokia phablet has a polycarbonate body, is thin and lightweight, and comes with a rear camera of at least 20MP. AT&T is currently testing the device, and its launch is scheduled for this year (at least in the US).
Since Windows Phone 8 does not support 1080p displays at the moment, Nokia has to wait for Microsoft to launch its GDR3 update before introducing the Bandit.
Meanwhile, Nokia will host a mysterious press event on August 28 in Russia. But this probably has nothing to do with the 6 inch phablet. The invitation to the event mentions something about a "world premiere". Piano keys are visible in the background, but there is no way of telling if that's a hint or not. Perhaps we'll see the rumored 5.2 inch Nokia Lumia 825 at the August event. We'll let you know.
In related news, The Verge has it that the Nokia Lumia 925 (currently available only at T-Mobile in the US) will be released via more American carriers "soon."

If We Must Die
by Claude McKay
Lines 5-8 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Line 5
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
- Line 5 starts a new section in the poem that is going to build on the first four lines.
- The speaker repeats the beginning of line 1, but changes the last half of the line to suggest that simply not dying like hogs isn't good enough. Instead, the speaker wants his group to die in a noble way.
- This idea of a "noble" death brings to mind images of heroic deaths in battle. It's still a common image today that we see in lots of books and movies.
- For a poem written in 1919, it's a little weird to use "O." But it does add some flare by making the end of the line very dramatic.
Lines 6-7
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain;
- For the speaker, dying nobly means that his death won't be meaningless or "in vain."
- "[P]recious blood" sounds a bit like biblical language, and brings to mind images of Jesus Christ being sacrificed.
- The whole idea of a "noble" death gets tied up with Christianity, and McKay is using this to fit his own message. We have to wait and see what that is.
Lines 7-8
then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
- The attackers, which were first referred to as dogs, are now monsters.
- But even thought the attackers are terrifying, the speaker and his allies are going to resist.
- "[D]efy" means to rebel against a power.
- The speaker says that he and the people he's speaking to are going to die so bravely that even the monstrous enemy is going to be forced to respect them.
- That is, after they're all dead.

For those who have kids who eat real food, I wanted to share this web site: SnacksForToddlers.com.
For those who have a newborn in the house, you might find it convenient to go back to some basics for snacking. Cheese sticks, apple slices, dried fruit. These are all easy to put into ziploc bags in your diaper bag. You never know when hunger will strike but your brain will be too overwhelmed to figure out what to do. It is handy to keep snacks with you. It's ok to treat yourself like a toddler 🙂
I am too lazy to do even that, so I carry a Luna bar everywhere with me.

Audrey Bauer's 3-pointer with 1:06 to go took the wind out of Lehigh's sails and sent No. 3 Navy to the Patriot League championship game after a 64-59 win over the Mountain Hawks Monday night.
March 5, 2012
2012 Patriot League Women's Basketball Tournament Central
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - For just the second time ever in Patriot League Women's Basketball Tournament history and the first since 1997, the two lower seeded teams both captured victories in the semifinals Monday night, sending fifth-seeded Holy Cross and No. 3 seed Navy to Saturday's Patriot League title game.
The championship contest will tip off at 6 p.m. Saturday night from Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Md., and will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network. Bob Socci will handle the play-by-play, while Leah Secondo will be the analyst.
Navy is the first defending League champion to make it back to the title game since Lehigh in 2010. That year the Mountain Hawks repeated as League titlists. It marks the second straight year the tournament's No. 3 seed has made the championship game, as American advanced there a season ago.
On the other side, No. 5 Holy Cross is the first from that seed position to make it to the title game since Bucknell in 2008. The Bison, coincidentally, upended the Crusaders in the title game to capture the crown. That's also the last time Holy Cross made an appearance in the championship final, with their last trophy coming the year before in 2007.
Navy will be playing for just its second ever League championship, while Holy Cross is aiming for its 12th. The winner of Saturday's contest earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Holy Cross and Navy have met twice before in the Patriot League championship game, with the Crusaders owning a 2-0 edge. Holy Cross won 67-60 in 1998 and 72-58 in 1999. Both games were played in Worcester, Mass.
No. 5 Holy Cross 67, No. 1 American 52;
Box Score | Video Highlights
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Junior second-team All-Patriot League performer Amy Lepley led all scorers with a career-high 24 points to lead fifth-seeded Holy Cross (18-13) to a stunning 67-52 upset of top-seeded American in the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament at Bender Arena Monday evening.
The loss ended the Eagles' program-best 15-game win streak. Before Monday, American had not suffered a defeat since Jan. 2 versus George Washington.
Lepley was the only Crusader to reach double figures in points. Ashley Cooper had nine points, all of which came from beyond the arc, while Bri Malone had seven points, nine rebounds and six assists.
All-Rookie Team member Jen Dumiak led American with 11 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Patriot League Player of the Year Lisa Strack was held to just three points on 1-of-14 shooting. Tor Halvorsen and Sarah Kiely each pitched in six points for the Eagles (23-7), who will find out their draw in the WNIT late Monday evening after the announcement of the NCAA Tournament bracket.
Alexis Dobbs' layup 1:05 into the game put American on the board first, but the Crusaders scored the next 10 points to take an eight-point lead four minutes in. The lead ballooned to 22-10 after Malone's jumper at the 12:28 mark, and the score remained there for nearly the next four minutes until Dumiak scored to make it a 22-12 game with 8:42 remaining in the first half.
The Crusaders scored the next 10 points and eventually took a 32-15 lead into halftime.
Lepley and Ashley Cooper sank back-to-back 3-pointers for Holy Cross to put the Crusaders ahead 44-22 with 14:11 left in the second.
American tried mounting a run with about seven minutes left. Dobbs and Dumiak combined for consecutive 3-pointers during an 8-2 Eagle run that brought them within 58-39 with 6:45 left, forcing a Holy Cross timeout.
Lepley sank a layup after the stoppage to help the Crusaders re-establish control. Holy Cross scored seven of the next nine points after the timeout to move in front 65-41 with over four minutes remaining.
Holy Cross finished the game shooting 50 percent (25 of 50) overall and 50 percent (7 of 14) from deep. The Crusaders collected assists on 22 of their 25 buckets.
American shot 18 of 62 (29 percent) for the game and just 5 of 25 (20 percent) from beyond the arc.
No. 3 Navy 64, No. 2 Lehigh 59;
Box Score | Video Highlights
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Jade Geif and Erin Edwards tied for the team lead with 13 points apiece to lead all five Navy starters in double figures as the third-seeded Mids (17-13) won their third in a row and tallied a 64-59 victory at No. 2 seed Lehigh (17-13) Monday night at Stabler Arena.
Kara Pollinger scored 12 points, Audrey Bauer pitched in 11 and Alix Membreno added 10 points for the defending League champions, who will host No. 5 seed Holy Cross Saturday at 6 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. The winner heads to the NCAA Tournament.
For the second straight year, Lehigh's season ends in the semifinals of the Patriot League Tournament with a five-point loss at home.
Of the 11 points she scored, none were bigger than those that came on her 3-pointer with 1:06 remaining in the game. Navy led 61-59 at the time and had just forced a Lehigh turnover. Navy set up its offense, and Pollinger wheeled the ball to an open Bauer just to the left of the top of the arc.
Marybeth Egan notched a career-high 15 points in 27 minutes off the bench to lead the Mountain Hawks. Senior Emily Gratch finished with 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and a pair of blocks. Senior Alexa Williams finished just 2 of 10 from the floor with five points, eight rebounds and a rejection.
Both teams shot well in the first half, especially from beyond the arc, as the two combined to go 13 of 20 on 3-pointers. Lehigh was 6 of 9 from deep, while Navy was 7 of 11 in the first 20 minutes.
The Mids used the 3 to build a first-half lead, as Bauer, Edwards and Pollinger each sank a trey and Chantel Lavender hit a long deuce to give Navy a 31-20 lead with 4:26 left in the first. Lehigh replied with a pair of 3s of its own, both from Egan in the final 1:19, to bring the Mountain Hawks within 33-28 at the half.
Kelly Peterson's bucket tied the game at 38 apiece at the 16:44 mark of the second half, and the host Mountain Hawks took their first lead of the second frame at 42-40 with 15:17 on the clock after a Gratch layup and free throw to complete a three-point play.
Membreno's triple just beyond the midway point of the second half knotted the game at 47, marking the sixth time the teams had been tied.
Lehigh moved ahead once more at the 6:08 mark on another Gratch layup, taking a 54-53 advantage. Navy replied again with a Membreno basket to go in front by one before the Mountain Hawks took the lead back on another Gratch lay in.
Egan sank her fourth trey of the game at the 1:59 mark to tie the contest at 59. Pollinger's bucket on Navy's next possession put the defending champions ahead by two, setting up Lehigh's turnover and Bauer's dagger trey.
Navy finished the game shooting 43.6 percent (24 of 55) and 50 percent (9 of 18) from beyond the arc. Lehigh was 9 of 21 on treys (42.9 percent) and 22 of 61 (36.1 percent) from the floor for the game.
Navy took care of the ball, committing only seven turnovers in the game and yielding one steal to the Mountain Hawks. The Mids turned 14 Lehigh miscues into 20 points.

8. There is also an Amish community or "buggie crossing" sign every 100 yards.
7. The division between black and white feels as strong as it might have felt before the Civil Rights Movement.
6. It was against the law to dance in public buildings in the 1960s in Logan County.
5. When you make your own soap out of glycerin left over from Vanderbilt University, don't be disturbed if small roaches have been entombed for your cleansing pleasure.
4. One can take a rain-water shower facing an open field--without a curtain.
3. It is still legal to bury your dead relatives on any part of your property that you jolly well please.
2. It is perfectly normal to find dead black squirrels on the side of the road and get them stuffed. Heck, it's normal to barbecue said squirrels and present them splayed open for the city folk to partake of at family barbecues.
And the number one thing I learned about Kentucky last weekend was...
1. It is still the law that you take a bath at least once a year.
Although this is the third Kentucky road trip I have taken in 2010, I simply did not know those ten things you see listed above. These things really blew me away. They showed what a city girl I am, and will probably always be, even though my dream is a log cabin in the woods on my own organic farm.
I could regale you with tales of the off-the-grid family farm that my friend is living on in her own broken-down circa 1980s camper (including composting toilets and the aforementioned curtainless shower stall). I could go into detail on the precious Amish families who cooked us up some fine gruel for the family gathering at which my friend Charla and I performed. I could tell you of the lone Mexican restaurant off of Highway 68, disconnected from any other building for miles. I could go on and on...
But I don't think I will today. I think I will leave you with this ten-things list for you to contemplate and appreciate so that if you are ever in this truly beautiful, rolling-hilled land, you will stop and ponder the happenings of the tiny towns and counties surrounding your car oh-so-unsuspectingly.
Don't underestimate the Kentucky tight-knit pride. It's there, even in the big city.

I want to setup SAN network, making a couple of computers share the same storage and making computers look SAN as logical drive.
For example and in more details, Computer A has logical drive E and actually drive E maps to SAN. Computer B has logical drive E as well and drive E maps to SAN. For file abc.txt under drive E of computer A, and for file abc.txt under drive E of computer B -- they are of the same file (i.e. modification of abc.txt under drive E of computer A will impact abc.txt of drive E of computer B).
Any general guide for doing this? Vendor neutral guide is appreciated, but vendor specific guide is also welcome.
BTW: I am working on Windows Server 2008 x64 Enterprise.
thanks in advance, George
