TUCSON—University of Arizona Coach Mike Stoops and staff signed 17 players to National Letters of Intent today, a class split evenly among offensive and defensive recruits. The signees join five players who enrolled at mid-year.
"We're pleased with the overall class and the job our staff did in evaluation and keeping on top of the entire process," Stoops said. "We filled immediate needs and got players on both sides of the ball and for the kicking game."
"We were able to sign some quality Arizona players, continue to keep our profile nationally and stay with some of our strong areas in California and Texas," he said.
The Wildcats signed with balance, bringing in 11 offensive players, nine defensive players and two kickers. Some players may well have futures at other positions, Stoops said.
UA inked the most from the state of California, with nine recruits, followed by three from Texas, three from Arizona, two from Hawaii, two from Oklahoma and one each from Louisiana, Utah and American Samoa.
The five players already enrolled in classes for the spring semester include two prep players and three junior college transfers.

Beyond the Unknown Regions
This is more a Star Wars general question, but Kotor is how I got this idea.
I was looking at the Star WarsTimeLine and knowing that hundreds of thousands of years have taken place in the Star Wars Universe, no one has never journeyed beyond the Unknown Regions of Space???
Well, they tried to with Outbound Flight. Then Thrawn killed them.
wonderful. im halfway through outbound flight. :lol:
I'm thinking that smugglers and pirates may have used the Unknown regions. it's beyond the republic's reach so it's seems the logical place smugglers and pirates would go
Summarized: The Republic never got very far into unexplored space because charting new hyperspace routes is very time-consuming and dangerous. Aside from that, they're facing a galactic crisis practically every few decades. What kind of Republic would have the time to explore under such circumstances?
Technically speaking, I beleive the "beyond the Unknown Regions" is empty space between galaxies, so they would have no reason to explore that specifically.
Outbound flight was on it's way out beyond the unknonw regions, thats the only official expedition that I know of

Who are the law protecting?

I am 43. I have been driving since I was 15. I have always had insurance on all of my vehicles because I was under the impression that it was the law. Apparently this is not the case any more. My husband was hit from behind last week. It was not his fault. The other person was cited. My daughter was hit this summer by a motorcycle darting in traffic. The motorcycle driver was cited.
Each driver had a valid insurance card at the scene. However, both policies had been canceled due to nonpayment just one month before. This leaves our insurance company paying the bills for both wrecks -- neither of which was our fault.
We were told by a state policeman that Louisiana law requires only that a valid card be provided at the scene. He told us there is no way to make sure the insurance was paid and current. Even after we had proven to him that the persons were driving without insurance, he refused to ticket either driver.
This is not an isolated incident. It is an outrage. In the future, I will carry a cell phone and call the insurance company at the scene. If the other driver has not paid the policy, he or she should be ticketed for falsifying information and driving without insurance. Penalties should be stiffer for these irresponsible drivers.

Choosing a Bridal Bouquet
The wedding bouquet completes the bride's look and must complement the dress. The colour of the bouquet must fit in with the wedding scheme - e.g. country, city, vintage, modern, and should coordinate with the bridesmaids' dresses, the flowers at the ceremony and the reception.
It is best to keep flowers simple and only have one or two types of bloom
Most bouquets will also include a little greenery.
It is usually cheapest and best to choose seasonal flowers.
The bride must like the scent of the flowers and avoid anything too pollen heavy.
The bouquet should be held at hip-height; if it's held too high the line of the dress is spoilt.
Often, the groom's buttonhole matches the bride's flowers, and the best man, ushers' and fathers' buttonholes reflect the bridesmaids' flowers.
The bouquet can be dried after the wedding by hanging it upside down in a dark place. There are also specialist companies who professionally preserve the bouquet by freeze-drying.
It is traditional for the bride to throw her bouquet before she leaves the wedding.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, author of "YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger," has become known for showcasing holistic alternatives on his popular health talk show. And his show today spotlighted his openness to natural remedies. From migraines to brain fog and beyond, get Dr. Oz's holistic tips below.
Dr. Oz's guest expert Dr. Tieraona Low Dog is the author of "Life Is Your Best Medicine: A Woman's Guide to Health, Healing, and Wholeness at Every Age" (click for details) and "Healthy at Home: Get Well and Stay Well Without Prescriptions."
Based on her research and studies, she recommends the following holistic remedies:
- Chronic pain can impact all aspects of your life. Instead of ibuprofen, try taking 200 mg of SAMe supplements twice a day.
- If you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks, consider sipping chamomile tea or taking 1,000 mg supplements twice daily.
- Butterbur supplements have been shown to help with migraines: Try 75 mg twice daily.
- If insomnia makes you miserable, consider an impressively powerful holistic solution. By combining Valerian, hops and passionflower, you can get the benefits of Ambien without the side effects, says Dr. Low Dog. How much: 300 mg Valerian, 80 to 100 mg passionflower and 30 to 50 mg hops. Examples include iSleep Ezy All Natural Herbal Sleeping Capsules and Pure Encapsulations - Best-Rest Formula.
In addition, Dr. Oz talked about the symptoms of low potassium levels, which include brain fog and muscle spasms. Foods high in potassium include bananas, beans, beets and apricots.

Almonzo's palms began to massage her skin and he pushed
her toward the edge of the bed. Now, I want to fuck this pretty
little ass of yours while I watch the three of you think of
something creative, he growled into her lower back as he began
to kiss his way up her spine. By the time his hot mouth covered
her ear, he was truly famished because she heard it in his
Tell me where you want me.
I want you everywhere, she hummed.
His mouth was moist as he bit playfully at her earlobe
and he whispered all sorts of sweet nothings, carnal
encouragements. Tell them what you want to see, Tabitha.
Anything you desire, theyll do it, he promised.
Darian was still on his knees massaging Tabithas thighs
and Richart stood as if he expected an unusual request and he
didnt wait to hear it. Before her lips formed the words,
Richart yanked Darian up with force and claimed him with a
bruising kiss.
Oh, my God. Her mouth hung open as Almonzos tongue
scraped by her ear.
What did I tell you? His spicy breath was laced with
peppermint and his pupils trimmed in lust. Like that, dont
She liked it enough to participate.
The men faced one another as if they felt she warranted a
show. Her hands divided them and she struggled to pull at one
cock and then the other. Each time she tugged at Darian, he
growled with his unstoppable pleasure. She kissed his thigh and
stroked Richarts cock before Almonzo grabbed her hips and
pulled her back against him again.
Richart kissed Darian with as much passion as he sipped
at any womanparticularly her. He tore his lips away from Darian
and told her simply, Name it and its yours.
Darians expression made her believe he was willing to
play them all like a sport. Hed also spent enough time with her
to know what turned her on and this definitely whet her
Tabitha cocked her head. If Darian was game, then he was
a player who went onto the field with all the right equipment.
He read her mind or her expression because he brought his
solid cock to her mouth and greedily pushed it right between her
parted lips. She sucked him in as she watched him give Richart a
knowing look. With a saucy pop she released him. I want to see
you know
Almonzo slapped her ass with a hard smack. Behave,
Tabitha. His finger ran down the seam of her ass and she licked
the precum from Darians tip once more.
She batted her eyes playfully. Turns you on, doesnt it?
You know what Im going to ask and you cant wait to see what
hell say.
Richart bent down and tugged her forward. He slanted his
lips over hers and then kissed her into the hell she was
As if shed already voiced her request, he wrapped
Darians neck in a strong grip and brought him crashing against
his lips again. This time, he fisted Darians cock and began
pumping it slowly. He held him in a snug grip and every yank
inspired a new gleam of pre-cum as well as a vocal grunt.
Oh, God! Tabithas mouth fell open and Almonzo chuckled
as he moved his mouth over her back in a thrilling oral massage.
His kisses stroked the remaining innocence right out of her then
and she was ready to guide them with her requests. Hold his
cock in your hand.
Darian smirked. Baby, you think this is the first time
Ive had another man offer to play with my balls?
Richart bit down on his lower lip. Prison was too kind
to a pretty boy like Darian, back in the day.
Almonzo whispered at her ear, Darian served a year in a
mortal state prison for punishment the elders didnt want him to
avoid. He probably loves cock as much as I love this tight
little snatch. His fingers plunged into her pussy then. Her
center collapsed around him as he completely circled her walls
with the intrusion. She clenched around his fingers. Oh,
Almonzo! Dont stop, right now, I cant stand it if you stop!
Richart kissed Darian again while he moved his cock to
her lips. With the finger fuck Almonzo orchestrated and
Richarts massive dick filling her cheeks, she couldnt imagine
anything better.
Breaking the kiss Richart claimed on his lips,
Darian dropped to the bed. He cupped her neck and
pulled her in for an easy reminder of where he enjoyed his
tongue best. The way he thrust it in and out and in and out,
there was no question about it. He planned on giving a few
favors during their time together. Now, watch and learn,
beautiful. He glanced over his shoulder at Almonzo who seemed
just as anxious to enjoy the show.
Darian splayed his legs open and grabbed Richarts hips,
forcing him to balance between his legs. He moved him parallel
to his mouth, but before he latched on, he placed Tabithas
fingers around his stiff erection and covered her hand with his.
Almonzo caught her around the middle and moved her tighter
against his body.
Ah yeah, this is worth every drip youre giving her
here. Almonzo moved three fingers beyond her folds and with a
slow and easy pace, he began to stir more of his womans
desires. Tabithas hips bucked against his cock, promising she
was a worthy ride. Please, Almonzo, youre going to have to
fuck me while I watch this.
Darian kissed her once and then dropped his head closer
to Richarts cock. Yeah, Almonzo. Ill trade spots if you
arent man enough for the job. He snickered and then he pulled
Richart all the way into his mouth. His jaws swelled the more he
moaned against Richarts stiff shaft.
Oh jeez, man. Richart rolled his eyes up as his hips
began to grind forward.
Tabithas eyes remained wide as she watched the men next
to her. Darian greedily sucked in Richarts cock while he guided
her hand with his to keep the right rhythm.
His other arm braced against Richarts lower back,
drawing him closer. His fingers stayed laced with hers as his
head bobbed with Richarts movements.
God, I cant believe how good he is at this. Richarts
head rolled over to the side as he began to fuck the mouth of
one of the worlds most powerful men.
When he began a ruthless grind, Darian dropped his hand
from his own erection and slapped his palms against Richarts
ass. He swallowed whole as he clawed and clutched Richarts butt
cheeks and damn near made him scream.
Tabitha felt her breath hitch in her chest. Holy hell.
That is the sexiest thing Ive ever witnessed in my life.
Almonzo brought down a slap against her bottom. Sweet
mercy, woman. Shame on you for provoking them. She barely felt
the sting because she refused to take her attention away from
the erotic act unfolding before her.
She called out to her mate as her body pressed into his
hand again. Almonzo, please fuck me. It was a quiet call as
her mouth watered and she longed to share something with someone
involved in all of the sensual pleasures in front of her.
Darian read her mind and with a pop, released Richart.
Here baby. Suck his cock for me.
Oh shit! You did not just stop right then.
Richarts face was flushed and beads of sweat formed over his
brow. He looked down at the shape of his erection and then
glared back at Darian. If I give head, I finish what I start.
Tabitha smiled. Me too. Come here. Now.
Richart gripped his cock as he moved it to her mouth and
Almonzo paddled her backside much harder than before. Darian
slid under her body and his long, delicious tongue reached her
center with a newfound interest. His kisses warmed her belly but
when his tongue slid past her folds, she rode out an oral
pleasure like most women would when fucking a ready dick.
So good. Darian, dont you quit on me! Tabitha spread
her legs wider to accommodate the mouth her body quickly
consumed with a welcome stance.
Almonzos hands pushed against her butt and then gently
pulled her up. The act itself only tormented her more as
Darians tongue slid in and out of her folds.
Not a chance. His fingers traced the outline of her
slit and his tongue lapped with the true purpose to please.
Sharp teeth nibbled on the little button, guaranteed to set her
off. She writhed under each onslaught.
Her body held his tongue captive as he slipped deeper
inside. The way he moaned against her instantly sent her into
spasms as he pulsated against her walls.
Oh Darian. Suck
please lick. Harder, deeper. Her knees
were going to fold and if she fell now, she would definitely be
sitting on top of his face. Her feet pressed into the soft
covering of the bed and she rode out the forced tempo of a new
erotic beat. There was nothing better than an insatiable man
hungry to finish her with a lick here or a swipe there, except
maybe the one behind her.
Almonzo was there and
he was ready to fuck her.

Over the last 6 weeks, Batista has gone from a triumphant hero returning to the WWE, to one of the most hated wrestlers on the roster. What started out as a backlash from the WWE Universe over Batista winning the Royal Rumble and not fan favorite Daniel Bryan, has grown into a real life soap opera between the fans and Batista. The turning point in this saga has been Batista's public comments toward the fans for booing him. Batista continued his banter with the fans by making the following comments on Wednesday February 26 via his Twitter page:
"Amazing how people can turn their failures as human beings into hatred of people making the most of life. #losers F em!! #dreamchaser..."
This latest Twitter message comes on the heels of previous comments where Batista stated he doesn't let negative opinions of his critics dictate his life. However, it appears that he does let these negative onions bother him more than he would like to admit.
Batista is set to take on Randy Orton at WrestleMania 30 for the WWE World Heavyweight title. The WWE Universe has vocally expressed their desire to see Daniel Bryan in this match and not Batista. With each appearance, the boos grow louder for Batista. These boos have forced the WWE to make creative changes to Batista's character, which can be seen on the March 1 episode of SmackDown.
On Friday's episode of SmackDown, Batista will turn heel and destroy Dolph Ziggler. This heel turn cements what the fans have dictated since the Rumble. One could argue that Batista's comments on Twitter are just a "work" to continue the heel turn. However, Batista has always been a bit confrontational with his critics. Just look back at the post-Rumble incident where he mocked the fans and Daniel Bryan.
Batista is better off as a heel and this could really bring him more success than as a baby face. The fans would eat up a feud between him and Bryan. One thing is for sure, the bantering between Batista and the WWE Universe is only going to heat up as we draw closer to WM 30.
What do you think of Batista's comments?

Talkin' unemployment blues
President Obama made an appearance in the White House press room on Friday to take a victory lap over the fall of the official unemployment rate (U-3) to 4.9 percent (video below, about 15 minutes).

Washington Post airbrushes Obama's mosque visit
Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post provides a near-worshipful account of President Obama's Wednesday visit to a Baltimore mosque.

Jaffe describes the Islamic Society of Baltimore mosque as "a simple house of worship." Post readers »

Yesterday President Obama visited the mosque of the Islamic Society of Baltimore to give a speech defending Islam and Muslims against their unnamed opponents. The White House has posted the text of Obama's speech. I have embedded the video below (actual time, about 45 minutes, feels like about 4 hours). Obama acknowledged the presence of Minnesota's own Rep. Keith Ellison, formerly of the Nation of Islam, and of Indiana Rep. »
Obama defends the faith
President Obama seems to believe in nothing more than he does the defense of Islam. He specializes in pronouncements on what is truly Islamic and what is not. Such pronouncements are always intended to preserve the good name of Islam. Al Qaeda, of course, not Islamic. The Islamic State, not Islamic. San Bernardino murderers Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, not Islamic. The Islamic Republic of Iran, well, they must be »

Barack Obama is famous for the false choice: time after time, he posits only two alternatives, one of which is his preferred course while the other option is an obvious straw man, sometimes a course that has never been advocated by anyone.

Lies of Guantanamo
In the Age of Obama, we are living by lies. Prevarication seems to be the operative principle.

I've had more than enough Barack Obama for one week, but it's good to get the perspective of Nebraska attorney David Begley on Obama's current road show. When President Obama made an appearance in Omaha at Baxter Arena yesterday, Dave was there. The Omaha World-Herald reports on Obama's appearance here; it has posted a transcript of Obama's remarks here. Dave's report is below: A crowd estimated at 11,000 saw President »
His way
President Obama gave his last State of the Union Address last night. The White House has posted the text here and video here. I've also embedded the video below. Obama's Iranian friends provided their own commentary in advance of the speech, seizing two Navy riverine ships and detaining 10 sailors (nine men and one woman). The mullahs were expressing their complete and utter contempt for Obama. Obama did things his »
Obama's bologna meets Taya's grinder
CNN convened a town hall forum for President Obama to bloviate on issues of "gun violence" last night. I'm posting the complete video below. CNN has posted a transcript here (along with a two-minute compilation of highlights). The NRA declined CNN's invitation to attend. The repulsive radical Chicago cleric Michael Pfleger was on hand. Reverend Wright was apparently not available. I wonder if CNN thought about inviting John Lott. If »
On guns, Obama preaches to the choir
President Obama takes to the pages of the New York Times to state that "the epidemic of gun violence in our country is a crisis" and to demand "a national response." The New York Times: What a great forum for reaching those who disagree with Obama, or are undecided, about gun control. I'll leave it to my colleagues to take on whatever substance might be found in Obama's op-ed. I »
From Obama and Clinton on the Rahm Emanuel Scandal, Crickets
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton purport to be deeply concerned about police misconduct. They support Black Lives Matter and have been quick to condemn policemen, often wrongly. But in Chicago, a policeman shot a young black criminal who was high on PCP for no apparent reason–I wrote about the case here–and the case was covered up for a year so that Mayor Rahm Emanuel, director of Bill Clinton's finance committee, »
The tears of a clown
President Obama held a campaign style event before the assembled multitude in the White House late yesterday morning. Obama spoke for 33 minutes. I am posting the complete video below. The White House has posted the text of Obama's remarks here. Chris Cillizza treats Obama's remarks like the Gettysburg Address and annotates the text here. Obama referred to himself one way or another some 76 times in the course of »
Hawaii declines to name vacant lot after Obama
The Washington Post reports that, after nearly seven years of Barack Obama's presidency, his native state still hasn't named anything after him. I don't count the Snowbama, a shaved ice concoction, though the name captures an important aspect of the president. According to Post reporters Greg Jaffe and Juliet Eilperin: Obama's return to the place of his birth [for the Christmas holiday season] calls to mind an embarrassing record of »
The invisible impact of Obama's Christian faith
After seven years of perhaps the most disappointing presidency in American history, I thought the era of Obama worship was over. At a minimum, I thought we'd seen the last story about how badly Obama wants to unite the country. But no. In a strong last-minute entry for silliest news story of the year, Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post gives us "The Quiet Impact of Obama's Christian faith." Jaffe's »
Annals of inanity
President Obama's all-purpose explanation for the unpopularity of various of his policies never varies. He isn't talking enough to make you understand and you aren't smart enough to understand without his talking. Right? Well, we can all agree we're stupid. That's how he can account for his election and reelection to the presidency. Obama drew on his all-purpose explanation most recently in his year-end interview with Democrat State Radio with »

|A trial in which roasted ground lupin, raw ground lupin or soyabean meal were fed to cows to establish possible effects on the fatty acid composition of milk (24 cows) and meat (28 cows) is reported. Results indicated that, in lupin-fed cows, even with a relatively low level of dietary fat, synthesis of medium-chain fatty acids was reduced, and the transfer of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids into milk was increased. Roasting of lupins slightly increased the protection from rumen hydrogenation. No effects of roasting lupins were observed on muscle fatty acid composition..

Report: Menifee Property Tax Revenue Increases 13 Percent
News release from the City of Menifee: MENIFEE -- The assessed value of 2013 property taxes in M...
MENIFEE -- The assessed value of 2013 property taxes in Menifee increased by more than
13 percent over 2012 revenues, according to the Riverside County Assessor. Menifee's is the fourth highest property tax revenue increase in Riverside County behind Beaumont, Eastvale and Wildomar.
Overall, 2013 property tax revenues throughout Riverside County increased by 7.74 percent, the largest percentage increase since 2007. Property tax revenues in Riverside County's fifth district, which includes Menifee, increased by nearly 10 percent.
The main reason for the increase is the "year-over-year growth in the average sales price of single family homes in Riverside County," according to the County Assessor's office. The median sales price of a home in Riverside County increased 24 percent from $210,000 to $260,000 in 2013 based on Data Quick information included in the Assessor's news release. In Menifee, the median sales price for a home from May to July, 2014, was $286,000, according to the real estate website Trulia.com.
"This is great economic news for Menifee and our region as a whole," said City Manager Rob Johnson.

Nathan Junius matched Tulane's best ever finish at the NCAA Track Championships by earning third place in the javelin Wednesday.
May 30, 2001
EUGENE, Ore. - Junior Nathan Junius (New Orleans, La.) matched Tulane University's best ever performance at the NCAA Championships by finishing third in the javelin at the 2001 Outdoor NCAA Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon Wednesday evening.
Junius had a throw of 233-11 to finish behind Oregon sophomore John Stiegeler (252-10) and UTEP junior Vesa Jappinen (239-07).
The New Orleans native joins current teammate Solomon Kandie (Nairobi, Kenya) and former Green Wave star Hanne Lyngstad with third-place finishes at the NCAA Championships. Kandie took third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at last year's outdoor championships, while Lyngstad earned third place in the 1,500-meter run at the 1999 Outdoor Championships.
Junius finished 10th last year at the championships.
Sophomore Nadja Petersen (Stockholm, Sweden), competing in the 400-meter hurdles, was eliminated in the preliminary round Wednesday. Her time of 58.54 was placed her ninth of 21 competitors. Only the top eight advanced to the finals.
Kandie will be in action Thursday as he tries to improve on his All-America performance from last year in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. The race starts at 9:15 p.m. (CST).
Sophomore Marie Ahlander (Arsta, Sweden), a triple jump All-American during the indoor season, looks to match her performance on the outdoor track Friday. She jumps at 7:45 p.m. (CST). Following that, Tulane's second javelin star, junior Catherine Betz (Metairie, La.), will make her first appearance at the National Championships, throwing the javelin at 8 p.m.
Senior Noel Comrie (St. Elizabeth, Jamaica) will close out the NCAA Championships for the Wave. He competes in the triple jump at 6 p.m. Saturday.

USA's team competes in the synchronised swimming technical routine team event of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing on August 22, 2008. AFP PHOTO / MARTIN BUREAU (Photo credit should read MARTIN BUREAU/AFP/Getty Images)
Panama City Beach might be adding another title to it's signs soon, "Home of the US Olympic Synchronized Swimming Team."
The Aquatic Center at Frank Brown Park is up for consideration to be used as a training facility for the US Olympic Synchronized Swimming team. If chosen, the pool would need to have some changes instituted, the largest being an investment that could cost the city up to $420,000 if a new one is built. That investment would be a bubble dome to cover the pool for acoustics and to allow training in inclement weather.
However, International Aquatic Foundation President, Ken McGartlin believes that the city will easily recover that investment. "Benefits are the ability to draw numerous other events to come to the area. Those events bring along with it an awful lot of bed tax revenue...at times of the year when our condominiums are sitting for the most part empty."
While the dome could hold a hefty price tag, there are other options. Currently, the committee is looking at bringing in a used dome from another city. If that is used, it would be close to half the price of a new one.

By Kathy M. Newbern and J.S. Fletcher ©2014
(Part 6 in a Series)
The first arts council in the United States started in Winston-Salem, and our visit reassured us that the arts are indeed alive and well here.
There's no better place to see evidence of that than at the Piedmont Craftsmen Gallery at 601 N. Trade Street. Piedmont Craftsmen got its start in 1963 when, according to its website, "a group of friends and acquaintances gathered around a kitchen table to discuss their love of crafts. From that first conversation came Piedmont Craftsmen – a guild of crafts artists and crafts collectors whose devotion to the handmade object and ties to the heritage of craft work in the region have spanned several generations."
In the current-day shop of treasures, we spoke with gallery manager Chris Asuncion whose enthusiasm for the creativity around him is quickly evident. He proudly notes that the Piedmont Craftsmen's Fair celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. Today, the Guild represents about 400 of the country's finest artisans. Each year, the crafts fair showcases the work of about 120 of them. On display are jewelry pieces, vases and sculpture, handmade furniture and more.
The guild also offers educational outreach to public schools and collaborates with local and regional organizations to create exhibitions and community programs.
While the birth of Piedmont Craftsmen can be seen as part of the larger mid-century American Craft movement, it is also particular to Winston-Salem's place in the North Carolina Piedmont region. The tradition of making beautiful, functional, well-crafted objects runs deep, encompassing the native cultures' Catawba clay pots, the more European pottery traditions of the Seagrove community, and the fine furniture, textiles and metal work of Moravian settlers.
Among what you'll see at the gallery and the annual fair are traditional crafts including clay, wood, glass, fibers/textiles, metals/jewelry, mixed media, leather, print and photography.
Standout pieces abound. Our eyes were quickly drawn to the beautifully crafted, original pieces like the wood tables by Brian Bortz from Durham, as well as the glass works by Veronica and David Bennett (exhibiting members since 2006) and the collectible goblets by Eddie Smith.
Most artists/craftsmen are from the Southeast, though all go through an open-juried process nationally. Asuncion points out that the pieces are rotated as much as possible, and they are constantly adding new ones. "We have a lot of new fiber work, a lot of new wearables, a changing line of pottery, new woodwork here, jewelry over there. There's a lot of artists that live nearby, the mountains, Burnsville, Weaverville," so new work is always coming in all the time to replace the pieces that sell. "Look around," he says. "This is just amazing stuff." There are also classes taught in the space, so it's evident there is a commitment to art and creation.
Asuncion stands as an example of that commitment. He started as a volunteer 20-some years ago, then worked part-time. He explains, "I actually started when one of my friends volunteered at the annual Craft Fair. . . Ever since then, I've been here. I lived away from here for three years. Someone called and told me the manager's job was open; I applied for it and got it . . . so I'm back. Something about this place always drives people back. We get a lot of people from out of town who've been here before or grew up here who remember us, and they still come back."
Whether you've been to the Piedmont Craftsmen Gallery before or not, when you're in Winston-Salem and are looking for that totally special gift for the totally special person (like yourself) stop by. Chances are once you do, you'll be coming back again as well.
The big event each year is the Crafts Fair, celebrating its 51st year. The two-day event is scheduled for November 22 – 23. Put it on your calendar. It's a beautiful time to visit Winston-Salem.
If You're Going: Piedmont Craftsmen Gallery, 601 N.Trade Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101. Hours are Tuesday- Friday: 10:30-5:00; Saturdays: 11-4. Call 336.725.1516 or visit piedmontcraftsmen.org.

Let's Look At A Calendar
(Finland X Male!Reader)
~ Slight Angst Alert ~
You laid down in the middle of the snow, without a jacket, without a shirt, just lying there staring at the sky. You blinked whenever a snowflake landed on your face, you didn't really care what happened anymore now that your childhood friend was gone.
Closing your eyes, you let your mind wonder. You had long since forgotten the exact date ever since you had laid outside, it was surprising to you how you had yet to die. The white snow falling from the grey clouds; the bare trees surrounding the 'field' around you; the footsteps that were coming up behind you as you felt a jacket fall down on you.
Opening your eyes, you looked up at the blonde stranger who seemed to be holding what looked like a small dog.
"Hey there, are you alright?"
You opened your mouth to speak but found that you had no words left to say. You simply laid there and let the stranger help you up and lead you to an unknown place.
"Why did you help me?"
The stranger, whose name you later found to be Tino, turned around from soaking a rag with warm water before walking over to you and placing it on your forehead.
"It's almost Christmas day! Shouldn't you be with your family?", you could've sworn you heard him say something else as well but dismissed it.
"I don't really care about that." , you scoffed. "Plus, it's November."
Tino looked shocked about what you said, but said look quickly dismissed from his face as it was replaced with a small smile. You watched as he got up and grabbed what looked like a calendar before putting it in front of your face, displaying a bunch of red x marks and a circle around the 25th of December.
"See? How long have you been in that snow storm anyways?"
Tino looked curiously and innocently at you, and you looked away with a vibrant blush on your face; Tino was much too adorable for his own good.
"It's nothing."
Tino faintly smiled, before grabbing onto your hand.
"Don't worry. You can tell me some other time, (name)."

"Continuous glucose monitoring: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
To formulate practice guidelines for determining settings where patients are most likely to benefit from the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), specifically:
Adult and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
Eligibility Criteria
The Task Force included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of adults and children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the outpatient setting. Literature search did not discriminate between different types of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); both real-time and non-real-time CGM devices were included. The control groups needed to utilize self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG). The Task Force included RCTs regardless of their publication status, language, size, or primary objective. The Task Force excluded trials that did not have sufficient follow-up (8 weeks), were conducted in inpatient settings, had different methods of insulin delivery between the intervention and comparison arms, and primarily studied pregnant subjects.
Study Identification
An expert reference librarian designed and conducted the electronic search strategy with input from study investigators with expertise in conducting systematic reviews. To identify eligible studies, the Task Force searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Scopus) from 1996 to November 15, 2010. A combination of medical subject headings and text words were utilized. The detailed search strategy is available from the corresponding author of the original guideline document.
Assessment of Study Eligibility
Pairs of reviewers independently screened all abstracts and titles and selected potentially eligible studies for full-text assessment. The process was repeated in duplicate for full-text review. Disagreements were resolved by consensus or arbitration. Kappa for study selection was 0.80.
Search Results
See Table 1 and Table 2 and discussion in the companion document (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field) for information on the characteristics and methodological quality of the 19 trials that enrolled 1,801 patients.
A total of 990 references were screened as abstracts and 150 of them were deemed potentially eligible. Full-text review of these 150 references resulted in exclusion of 131 references (18 were not original research reports, 113 were nonrandomized). 19 studies were included.
Quality of the Evidence
+OOO Denotes very low quality evidence
++OO Denotes low quality evidence
+++O Denotes moderate quality evidence
++++ Denotes high quality evidence
To synthesize evidence, the Task Force undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared to self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) with regards to improving glycemic control and reducing hypoglycemia in both adult and pediatric populations with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM).
Data Collection
Working in duplicate, a standardized form was used to extract data on study characteristics: description of participants, age, gender, number of patients involved, type of CGM, duration and frequency of use, and type of SMBG used. The Task Force also extracted outcomes of interest: hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), time hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic, incidence of severe hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia, emergency medical service utilization for extremes of glycemia, and patient satisfaction of CGM. Reviewers also appraised the methodological quality of eligible RCTs, considering adequacy of allocation concealment, blinding of patients, health care providers, data collectors and outcome assessors, if an RCT was stopped early, and the extent of loss to follow-up (i.e., proportion of patients in whom the investigators were unable to ascertain outcomes). For each of these variables, the Task Force used results reported in the original RCTs, thus accepting the authors' definitions of these terms. When needed, the Task Force contacted authors of the studies included by email to obtain missing data or confirm extracted data.
Statistical Analysis
The Task Force estimated the effect of CGM from each study with 95% confidence interval (CI) using the weighted mean difference (WMD) for continuous outcomes and the relative risk (RR) for dichotomous outcomes. The former measure retains the original data units and the latter is a unitless ratio. An event rate ratio was estimated if a study reported hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events per period of time. The estimates from each study were pooled using a random-effects model incorporating the between-study heterogeneity as well as the within-study heterogeneity. The extent of heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Interaction between subgroups was tested using an interaction test and meta-regression. A priori established subgroup analyses were based on the type of CGM (real-time versus non-real-time), loss to follow up, and adherence monitoring. To assess publication bias, the Task Force planned to inspect funnel plots visually and test their symmetry statistically using Egger's regression test.
The Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee of The Endocrine Society deemed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) a priority area in need of practice guidelines and appointed a Task Force to formulate evidence-based recommendations.
The Endocrine Society appointed a Task Force of experts, a methodologist, and a medical writer.
The Task Force followed the approach recommended by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) workgroup, an international group with expertise in development and implementation of evidence-based guidelines. A detailed description of the grading scheme has been published elsewhere.
The Task Force used the best available research evidence that Task Force members identified and one commissioned systematic literature review of randomized controlled trials of CGM use to inform some of the recommendations. The Task Force also used consistent language and graphical descriptions of both the strength of a recommendation and the quality of evidence. In terms of the strength of the recommendation, strong recommendations use the phrase "the Task Force recommends" and the number 1, and weak recommendations use the phrase "the Task Force suggests" and the number 2. The symbol +OOO denotes very low quality evidence; ++OO, low quality; +++O, moderate quality; and ++++, high quality. The Task Force has confidence that persons who receive care according to the strong recommendations will derive, on average, more good than harm. Weak recommendations require more careful consideration of the person's circumstances, values, and preferences to determine the best course of action. Linked to each recommendation is a description of the evidence and the values that panelists considered in making the recommendation. All of the Task Force's recommendations are expert opinions and are evidence based. Some of these opinions are based on stronger evidence than others. For strong recommendations with GRADE 1 evidence, the Task Force has made recommendations, and for weak recommendations with GRADE 2 evidence, the Task Force has made suggestions.
Consensus Process
One group meeting, several conference calls, and e-mail communications enabled consensus.
Strength of Recommendation
1- Indicates a strong recommendation and is associated with the phrase "The Task Force recommends."
2 - Denotes a weak recommendation and is associated with the phrase "The Task Force suggests."
The Task Force has considered the cost-benefit issues related to the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and feels that the clinical benefits justify the costs in a wide range of patients, but that these values may not be universally shared in some healthcare settings (e.g., those with resource-constrained settings, clinics unable to provide adequate support to patients and families). Individuals or health systems may disagree with the Task Force's relative valuation, and in these cases the recommendations may not apply. It may then be necessary to modify these recommendations accordingly.
Committees and members of The Endocrine Society, the Diabetes Technology Society, and the European Society of Endocrinology reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of these guidelines.
Definitions for the quality of the evidence (+OOO, ++OO, +++O, and ++++); the strength of the recommendation (1 or 2); and the difference between a "recommendation" and a "suggestion" are provided at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (RT-CGM) in Adult Hospital Settings
The Task Force recommends against the use of RT-CGM alone for glucose management in the intensive care unit (ICU) or operating room until further studies provide sufficient evidence for its accuracy and safety in those settings (1 | +OOO).
RT-CGM in Children and Adolescent Outpatients
The Task Force recommends that RT-CGM with currently approved devices be used by children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who have achieved glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels below 7.0% because it will assist in maintaining target HbA1c levels while limiting the risk of hypoglycemia (1 | ++++).
The Task Force recommends RT-CGM devices be used with children and adolescents with T1DM who have HbA1c levels of at least 7.0% who are able to use these devices on a nearly daily basis (1 | +++O).
The Task Force makes no recommendations for or against the use of RT-CGM by children with T1DM who are less than 8 yr of age.
The Task Force suggests that treatment guidelines be provided to patients to allow them to safely and effectively take advantage of the information provided to them by RT-CGM (2 | +OOO).
The Task Force suggests the intermittent use of CGM systems designed for short-term retrospective analysis in pediatric patients with diabetes in whom clinicians worry about nocturnal hypoglycemia, dawn phenomenon, and postprandial hyperglycemia; in patients with hypoglycemic unawareness; and in patients experimenting with important changes to their diabetes regimen (such as instituting new insulin or switching from multiple daily injections [MDI] to pump therapy) (2 | +OOO).
RT-CGM in Adult Outpatients
The Task Force recommends that RT-CGM devices be used by adult patients with T1DM who have HbA1c levels of at least 7.0% and who have demonstrated that they can use these devices on a nearly daily basis (1 | ++++).
The Task Force recommends that RT-CGM devices be used by adult patients with T1DM who have HbA1c levels less than 7.0% and who have demonstrated that they can use these devices on a nearly daily basis (1 | ++++).
The Task Force suggests that intermittent use of CGM systems designed for short-term retrospective analysis may be of benefit in adult patients with diabetes to detect nocturnal hypoglycemia, the dawn phenomenon, and postprandial hyperglycemia, and to assist in the management of hypoglycemic unawareness and when significant changes are made to their diabetes regimen (such as instituting new insulins or switching from MDI to pump therapy) (2 | +OOO).
1 - Indicates a strong recommendation and is associated with the phrase "The Task Force recommends."
None provided
The type of evidence supporting the recommendations is specifically stated for each recommendations (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
Appropriate use of continuous glucose monitoring in pediatric and adult patients to improve glycemic control
No significant adverse effects related to the device were reported in any of the trials. Data on the incidence of severe hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, nocturnal hypoglycemia, or severe hyperglycemia were very sparse, poorly reported, and imprecise. The relative risk (RR) for hypoglycemia (based on number of patients suffering at least one episode of hypoglycemia as the unit of analysis) was 1.02 (95% CI, 0.3 to 3.45). Using the number of events as the unit of analysis, the rate ratio for hypoglycemia was 3.50 (95% CI, 1.07 to 11.44) and for hyperglycemia 1.42 (95% CI, 0.26 to 7.82).
An implementation strategy was not provided.

Police: Teen Mom Amber Portwood Found with Prescription Drugs
Amber Portwood is not having a good Christmas season.
The "Teen Mom" star was reportedly found with a number of prescription drugs when she was thrown in jail for a probation violation earlier this month.
When they visited her home on December 16, officers found a "very groggy" Portwood in possession of a number of pills mixed into one bottle, according to a police report obtained by TMZ.
She could not provide prescriptions for most of them.
Portwood reportedly had 32 hydrocodone pills, along with muscle relaxers and other medications.
She is due in court on January 13.
Her probation followed a suspended two-year jail sentence for assaulting baby daddy Gary Shirley.

Bike Shop Buyer - Full Cycle
Submitted by David on
Full Cycle has an immediate opening for a buyer for both of our Boulder locations.
Responsibilities include:
- Ordering product for service and sales departments
- Setting and maintaining inventory levels
- Inventory maintenance
The ideal candidate is a bike geek and gearhead at heart and gets excited about fine machining, titanium bits, 11-speed drivetrains, and and trying new chain lube. He or she would also be able to float seamlessly between buying and the sales floor as necessary, but would not be expected to be an all-star bike sales ace. First and foremost, however, the ideal candidate has a passion for cycling and wants to inspire our customers to ride their bikes more.
Full Cycle is Boulder's oldest bike shop. We hang our helmet on our customer service, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and providing the best products and best service available. We offer a fun, fast-paced environment, flexible scheduling, generous employee discounts and pro deals, and industry-leading compensation.
Please apply in person and bring a resume highlighting relevant buying and retail experience in the bicycle universe to our downtown location at 1795 Pearl St and ask for Josh. No phone calls or emails, please.
